The plate-like horizontal piece 17 extending to the side, the plate-like vertical piece 18 extending from the outer end of the horizontal piece 17 to one side in the vertical direction and fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13, and the vertical piece 18 are opposite to each other A plate-like engagement piece 19 that extends in the direction and can be inserted and engaged in the engagement notch 15 of the upper frame plate 10 or the lower frame plate 11. In this example, the connecting member 14 that connects the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 and the connecting member 14 that connects the upper frame plate 10 and the right side frame plate 13 are asymmetrical to each other. The vertical piece 18 is divided into front and rear parts. On the other hand, the connecting member 14 for connecting the lower frame plate 11 and the left side frame plate 12 and the connecting member 14 for connecting the lower frame plate 11 and the right side frame plate 13 are formed in symmetrical shapes, respectively. Has been.

  In the connecting member 14, the upper surface and the lower surface of the horizontal piece 17 are in contact with the lower surface and the upper surface of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and the engagement piece 19 is an engagement notch between the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. In a state of being inserted and engaged in the portion 15, a predetermined screw passes through the horizontal piece 17 and the engagement piece 19 and is screwed into the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, so that the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame It is fixed to the plate 11. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 penetrates the side frames 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state where the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the upper side inner side surfaces of the side frames 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18 so that the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected. The rear vertical piece 18 of the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 is fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13 while being inserted into the protruding portions 16 of the side frame plates 12 and 13. It is like that. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the lower frame plate 11 penetrates the side frame bodies 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state in which the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the lower side inner side surfaces of the side frame bodies 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18 so that the lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected to each other, and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are connected by the four connecting members 14. The side frame plates 12 and 13 can be assembled into a frame shape.

  The outer frame 2 of the present example is fixed to a predetermined position inside the lower portion of the left side frame plate 12 that is disposed so as to face the upper support bracket 20 and the upper support bracket 20 that is fixed to the upper surface of the left end of the upper frame plate 10. Fixed to the lower support bracket 21, the reinforcing bracket 22 arranged to support the lower surface of the lower support bracket 21 and fixed to connect the left and right side frame plates 12, 13, and fixed to the front surface of the reinforcement bracket 22. The decorative cover 23 is provided. The upper support bracket 20 and the lower support bracket 21 are for pivotally supporting the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 so that they can be opened and closed.

  First, the upper support fitting 20 includes a plate-like fixed piece 20a fixed to the upper frame plate 10, a support protruding piece 20b protruding forward from the front end of the fixed piece 20a to the front end of the upper frame plate 10, and a support protrusion. The support side wall 20c formed by being cut out so as to bend from the right end near the front end of the piece 20b toward the center of the tip, and the left side frame depending from the left end of the fixed piece 20 and the support protruding piece 20b. A plate-shaped hanging fixing piece 20d (see FIG. 14A) that contacts the outer side surface of the plate 12, and a hanging wall 20e that continues to the hanging fixing piece 20d and hangs along the outer edge of the support protruding piece 20b (see FIG. 14). 14) and a stop drooping portion 20f (see FIG. 15) that is continuous with the drooping wall 20e and is inclined inward at the entrance end of the supporting saddle hole 20c. A shaft support pin 633 (see FIG. 63) of an upper shaft support bracket 630 in the main body frame 3 to be described later is detachably engaged with the support hole 20c in the upper support bracket 20. Further, the upper support bracket 20 can connect the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 by a fixing piece 20a and a hanging fixing piece 20d.

  The strength of the support protrusion 20b is enhanced by a hanging wall 20e depending from the outer edge of the support protrusion 20b. The details of the upper support metal 20 will be described later. The lock member 27 arranged on the back surface of the player can be concealed so that it cannot be seen from the player side, and the appearance can be improved. Further, the support hole 20c formed in the support projecting piece 20b is bent in a square shape so as to be inclined from the side of the opposite side (right side) where the hanging wall 20e is not formed toward the center of the tip. In addition, the width dimension of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c is slightly larger than the diameter of the pivot pin 633.

  On the other hand, the lower support bracket 21 includes a horizontal fixing piece 21a that is placed and fixed on the reinforcing metal fitting 22, and a vertical fixing piece that rises upward from the left end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a and is fixed to the inner side surface of the left side frame plate 12. 21b, a plate-like support projecting piece 21c projecting forward from the front end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and a pin shape projecting upward from the vicinity of the front end of the support projecting piece 21c Support projections 21d. A main body frame pivot formed on a main body frame pivot bracket 644 (see FIG. 66, etc.) of the main body frame 3 to be described later is inserted into the support protrusion 21d of the lower support bracket 21. After the support protrusion 21d of the support bracket 21 is inserted into the support hole of the main body frame pivot support 644 in the main body frame 3, the pivot support pin 633 of the upper pivot support 630 of the main body frame 3 is locked to the support stud 20c. Thus, the main body frame 3 can be pivotally supported so as to be freely opened and closed.

  In addition, as shown in the figure, the outer frame 2 of this example has two closing plates 24 and 25 that are disposed at a predetermined distance apart in the vertical direction inside the right side frame plate 13. The closing plates 24 and 25 are formed in a substantially L shape in a plan view, and the closing plate 25 disposed on the lower side has a rectangular opening 25a penetrating in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 9). The closing plates 24 and 25 are hook portions 1054 and 1065 (see FIG. 93) 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 will be described in detail later, the hooks 1054 and 1065 are disengaged from the closing plates 24 and 25 by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the locking device 1000 and turning it to one side. Thus, the main body frame 3 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 2.

  Furthermore, the outer frame 2 of this example further includes a guide plate 26 fixed to the upper surface of the right end of the reinforcing metal fitting 22. This guide plate 26 is used to smoothly guide the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and is mounted and fixed in a replaceable manner.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, the outer frame 2 of the present example further includes a lock member 27 supported on the back surface of the support projecting piece 20b in the upper support metal fitting 20, and the support projecting piece 20b is supported by a rivet 28. On the other hand, it is pivotally supported. The lock member 27 is made of synthetic resin, and has a stopper portion 27a that protrudes forward from a position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28, and is shorter than the stopper portion 27a rightward from the position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28. The protruding operation part 27b, the elastic piece 27c protruding from the opposite side of the position supported by the rivet 28 with respect to the operation part 27b, and the front end of the stopper part 27a are formed to bulge forward. An arcuate tip surface 27d. As shown in the figure, the lock member 27 is formed in a substantially L shape by a stopper portion 27a and an operation portion 27b. Further, the elastic portion 27c of the lock member 27 is formed to have a narrower width than the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b, and is formed to extend forward as the distance from the stopper portion 27a increases.

  As shown in FIGS. 14B and 15, the lock member 27 is configured such that the tip contact portion of the elastic piece 27 c is the hanging wall when supported by the support protrusion piece 20 b of the upper support fitting 20 (normal state). 20e is in contact with the inner surface of the stopper 20a, and the stopper 27a closes the inclined hole of the supporting hole 20c. The tip of the stopper 27a is inclined to the inclined hole of the supporting hole 20c. The head space portion is not closed, and a space in which the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 can be inserted is formed in the head space portion of the support hole 20c. .

  The support mechanism of the pivot pin 633 using the upper support fitting 20 and the lock member 27 in this example is such that the pivot pin 633 is inserted into the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c so that the stopper portion 27a The tip side faces the stop drooping portion 20f at the inlet end (in this state, there is a slight gap between the tip side of the stopper portion 27a and the stop drooping portion 20f so that the abutting portion is in contact). In a normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 positioned in the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support rod hole 20c formed by bending and the tip surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a are respectively provided. The center is in a state of being offset in an oblique direction and facing each other. In this normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 supporting the heavy body frame 3 is in contact with the tip end portion of the support saddle hole 20c. Since almost no load is applied to the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not loaded. In addition, since the arcuate tip end surface 27d is provided at the tip of the stopper portion 27a, the lock member 27 is smoothly rotated when the operation portion 27b is rotated to rotate the lock member 27. It has become. In the drawing, the center of the arc of the tip surface 27d is the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the shaft supporting pin 633 is pulled out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c and comes into contact with the arcuate tip end surface 27d, the acting force F is Component force F1 acting on the contact portion between the pin 633 and the arcuate tip end surface 27d (in the normal direction of the arc of the tip end surface 27d), and one side of the inclined hole portion of the shaft support pin 633 and the support hole 20c When divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface, the direction of the component force F1 faces the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27). The moment for rotating the tip part in the direction away from the support protruding piece 20b (clockwise in the figure) does not act, and the pivot pin 633 is formed between the tip part of the stopper part 27a of the lock member 27 and the inclined hole part of the support collar hole 20c. Maintain the state of being pinched between the inner surface of one side. To. Therefore, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not always loaded even in a normal shaft support state or in a state where the acting force of the shaft support pin 633 is applied to the lock member 27, and is an elastic formed integrally with synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the piece 27c and to prevent the pivot pin 633 from coming off from the support hole 20c over a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 is rotated in a direction away from the support projecting piece 20b (clockwise in the figure), one side of the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a. Does not rotate in a direction in which it comes into contact with the stop drooping portion 20f and disengages any further, so that the lock member 27 does not protrude beyond the support protruding piece 20b.

  Even if the shape of the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment does not occur due to the action of the component force F1 or the distal end portion of the lock member 27 faces the outside of the support protruding piece 20b. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 27 (the axis fixed by the rivet 28) at a position where a rotational moment to rotate is generated, no load is applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 at all times. Since the one side of the tip end of the stopper portion 27a only abuts against the stop drooping portion 20f even when the member 27 rotates, the present applicant points out that the lock member 27 does not protrude outside the support protruding piece 20b. I have confirmed.

  The action of the lock member 27 of this example will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As a premise that the main body frame 3 is pivotally supported on the outer frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed, a lower support bracket is mounted on a main body frame pivot support hole (not shown) formed in a main body frame pivot support bracket 644 (see FIG. 63). 21 support protrusions 21d need to be inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 is pressed against the side surface of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27, thereby pushing As shown in FIG. 16B, the lock member 27 rotates counterclockwise while deforming the elastic piece 27c, so that the shaft support pin 633 can be inserted into the support rod hole 20c. Then, when the shaft support pin 633 reaches the head space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support flange 20c, as shown in FIG. 16C, the shaft support pin 633 and the tip side surface of the stopper portion 27a do not contact each other. Therefore, the lock member 27 is urged by the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c and rotates in the clockwise direction, and the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 returns to the normal state again and closes the inlet portion of the support hole 20c. The distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a faces the shaft support pin 633 so that the shaft support pin 633 does not fall out of the support saddle hole 20c.

  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 633 from the support saddle hole 20c, as shown in FIG. 16E, the finger is inserted into the back surface of the support protrusion piece 20b, and the operation portion 27b of the lock member 27 is turned counterclockwise. By rotating, the lock member 27 rotates against the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c, and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a is retracted from the support rod hole 20c, so that the shaft support pin 633 is supported. It can be taken out from the hole 20c. Thereafter, the main body frame 3 is lifted, and the main body frame 3 is detached from the outer frame 2 by releasing the engagement between the main body frame shaft support hole formed in the main body frame shaft support metal 644 and the support protrusion 21d of the lower support metal 21. It can be removed from.

  As described above, in the outer frame 2 of this example, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 constituting the outline of the outer frame 2 are made of wood, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of a lightweight metal ( For example, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility lined up in a game hall, it is necessary to perform an operation of fixing it at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical plane of the island. However, since such an operation is performed by nailing nails to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, the nails can be easily nailed, and the pachinko machine 1 can be used without problems in existing island facilities. It can be installed. In addition, since the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of lightweight metal (for example, aluminum alloy) extrusion mold material, it becomes possible to form a thin wall while maintaining strength as compared with a conventional wooden outer frame. The left and right widths when viewed from the front of the peripheral wall portion 605 (see FIG. 63, etc.) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the inside of the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be widened, and the game board 4 has a large horizontal dimension. Can be mounted on the main body frame 3, and at the same time, the game area 1100 of the game board 4 can be formed large.

  Further, the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12, 13 constituting the outline of the outer frame 2 are connected by a connecting member 14, and the connecting member 14 is connected to the side frame plates 12, 13. Since it is fixed in close contact with the inner surface and the connecting member 14 is engaged with the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, the assembly strength of the outer frame 2 can be increased, and it is sturdy. It can be made into a rectangular frame. Further, 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 14, when the upper support fitting 20 is attached at a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. Since there is no member projecting outward from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the frame plates 10, 11, 12, and 13, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility of a game hall (not shown), an adjacent device (for example, It can be attached in close contact with the adjacent ball lending machine.

The light transmitted through the main body part 212a is irregularly refracted by the non-uniform thickness of the main body part 212a.

  By combining the side inner lens 212 with the side lens 210, the light transmitted through the peripheral lens portion 210a and the main body portion 212a can be birefringently refracted, and the shape of the object disposed on the opposite side can be changed. It is almost unrecognizable. Further, the irregular reflection due to the polyhedral shape as well as the irregular refraction can make the appearance of the side lens 210 (circumferential lens portion 210a) sparkle and make the sense of perspective unclear.

  The right side upper decorative substrate 214 and the right side lower decorative substrate 216 of the right side decorative unit 200 have a plurality of high-brightness color LEDs mounted on the surface, and the light emitting decorative openings 202g of the side decorative frame 202 (the periphery of the side lens 210). The LEDs 214a and 216a arranged at positions corresponding to the lens portion 210a) have a relatively wide irradiation angle (for example, 60 ° to 180 °), and the slit 202e (side lens 210 of the side lens 210) is used. The LEDs 214b and 216b arranged at positions corresponding to the radiation lens portion 210b) have a relatively narrow irradiation angle (for example, 15 ° to 60 °). Note that the LED 214c of the upper decorative substrate 214 on the right side that decorates the side sub lens 228 with light emission is a red LED in this example.

  Like the side speaker 130, the upper right speaker 222 of the right side decoration unit 200 outputs a mid-high range sound, and is attached to a predetermined position and in a predetermined direction by the upper speaker bracket 224.

The upper speaker bracket 224 that supports the upper right speaker 222 includes a cylindrical horn portion 224a that protrudes obliquely forward and downward at the center of the left and right of the pachinko machine 1 in a front view. The upper right speaker 222 is fixed to the upper end back side of the horn portion 224a in the upper speaker bracket 224 so that the upper right speaker 222 cannot be seen from the player side by the horn portion 224a in front view. It has become.

  The upper right speaker 222 of this example is emitted from the upper part of the pachinko machine 1 toward the lower player by the horn part 224a of the upper speaker bracket 224. It has become difficult. Although not shown in detail, the upper speaker bracket 224 also has a plurality of front surfaces facing different directions, like the peripheral lens portion 210a of the side lens 210 and the main body portion 212a of the side inner lens 212. In this case, the light transmitted through the upper speaker bracket 224 is irregularly refracted due to the uneven thickness.

  The upper speaker cover 226 that covers the front side of the upper speaker bracket 224 is fitted from the rear side of the side decorative frame 202 so as to close the light emitting decorative opening 202g that is in contact with the upper end frame 202c of the side decorative frame 202. The surface is formed in a curved surface shape that is continuous with the surface of the side lens 210. Further, a plurality of through holes 226a are formed on the surface of the upper speaker cover 226 so that sound from the upper right speaker 222 can be sufficiently transmitted to the player side.

  Although not shown in detail, the upper speaker cover 226 also has a plurality of inner surfaces facing in different directions, like the peripheral lens portion 210a of the side lens 210 and the main body portion 212a of the side inner lens 212. In this case, the light transmitted through the upper speaker cover 226 is irregularly refracted due to the non-uniform plate thickness. Therefore, in the upper speaker cover 226 and the upper speaker bracket 224, the light is irregularly refracted, so that it is difficult to visually recognize the through hole 226a formed in the upper right speaker 222 and the upper speaker cover 226 from the player side. The appearance can be similar to that of the peripheral lens portion 210a of the side lens 210.

Further, the light from the left side upper decorative substrate 254 disposed on the rear side by the light guide portion 246a of the side upper decorative lens 244 may be emitted forward (player side) from the opening 244a of the side upper decorative member 244. In addition, the tip of the light guide 246a can be shined as a jewel.

  The upper side cover 248 of the left side decoration unit 240 has a top surface and a left side surface (in front view) substantially aligned with the outer periphery of the door frame 5 (door frame unit base 100), and a lower surface (lower end). The shape is substantially in line with the side upper decorative member 244. The side upper cover 248 is provided with a mounting step 248a that is open at the bottom and recessed rearward so that the side upper decorative member 244 can be accommodated in the lower front portion. A mounting boss, a mounting hole, and the like for mounting the side upper decorative member 244 and the like are formed on the end surface. Further, the side upper cover 248 includes a covering portion 248b that covers the upper shaft support portion 156 of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame base unit 100 from the front side on the outer side surface (the left side surface in a front view).

  The side lens 250 of the left side decoration unit 240 has a shape substantially along the side decoration frame 242 and has a recessed rear surface, and is inserted into the light emitting decoration opening 242g of the side decoration frame 242 later. A peripheral lens portion 250a and a radiation lens portion 250b to be inserted into the slit 242e of the side decorative frame 242 later are provided. As shown in the figure, the side lens 250 does not include the peripheral lens portion 250a corresponding to the light emitting decoration opening 242g contacting the upper end frame 242c of the side decoration frame 242, and the corresponding part is opened forward and downward. It is made the accommodation step part 250c made. The housing step 250c accommodates an upper left speaker 262, an upper speaker bracket 264, and the like, which will be described later. The side lens 250 includes an attachment portion 250d that forms the upper surface of the accommodation step portion 250c and is fixed to the rear side of the attachment step portion 248a in the side upper cover 248.

  The side lens 250 has a curved surface shape that bulges to the front side so that the front surfaces of the peripheral lens portion 250a and the radiating lens portion 250b are substantially along the front end of the partition frame 242f of the side decoration frame 242. Although detailed illustration is omitted, the back surface (inner surface) side of the peripheral lens portion 250a is formed in a polyhedral shape by a plurality of surfaces facing different directions, and the plate thickness of the peripheral lens portion 250a is not uniform. As a result, the light transmitted through the peripheral lens portion 250a is irregularly refracted. In addition, the inner surface formed in a polyhedral shape allows the peripheral lens portion 250a to exhibit a distinctive appearance.

  The side inner lens 252 is inserted and fitted into the side lens 250 from the rear side, and corresponds to a portion where the peripheral lens portion 250a and the radiating lens portion 250b are formed in the side lens 250 as shown in the figure. It corresponds to the main body 252a having a recessed rear surface and the radiation lens portion 250b (slit 242e of the side decorative frame 242) that is continuous from the rear end of the main body 252a and projects forward from the main body 252a. And a plate-shaped light guide 252b disposed at the position. The main body portion 252 a of the side inner lens 252 is formed such that the front surface thereof is kept a predetermined distance from the inner surface of the side lens 250. Further, although detailed illustration is omitted, one surface of the main body portion 252a of the side inner lens 252 is formed into a polyhedral shape by a plurality of surfaces facing different directions, like the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250. The light transmitted through the main body 252a is irregularly refracted by the non-uniform thickness of the main body 252a.

  By combining the side inner lens 252 with the side lens 250, the light transmitted through the peripheral lens portion 250a and the main body portion 252a can be doubled and refracted, and the shape of the object disposed on the opposite side can be changed. It is almost unrecognizable. Further, the irregular reflection due to the polyhedral shape along with the irregular refraction allows the side lens 250 (circumferential lens portion 250a) to have a sparkling appearance and make the perspective feel unclear.

  The left side upper decorative substrate 254 and the left side lower decorative substrate 256 of the left side decorative unit 240 have a plurality of high-brightness color LEDs mounted on the surface, and the light emitting decorative openings 242g of the side decorative frame 242 (the periphery of the side lens 250). The LEDs 254a and 256a arranged at positions corresponding to the lens portion 250a) have a relatively wide irradiation angle (for example, 60 ° to 180 °), and the slit 242e (side lens 250 of the side lens 250) is used. The LEDs 254b and 256b arranged at positions corresponding to the radiation lens portion 250b) have a relatively narrow irradiation angle (for example, 15 ° to 60 °).

  Similar to the side speaker 130, the upper left speaker 262 of the left side decoration unit 240 outputs a mid-high range sound and is attached to a predetermined position in a predetermined direction by the upper speaker bracket 264. Yes. The upper speaker bracket 264 that supports the upper left speaker 262 includes a cylindrical horn portion 264a that protrudes obliquely forward and downward at the center of the left and right of the pachinko machine 1 in a front view. And the upper left speaker 262 is fixed to the upper speaker back side of the upper end of the horn portion 264a in the upper speaker bracket 264, so that the upper left speaker 262 cannot be seen from the player side by the horn portion 264a in front view. It has become.

  The upper left speaker 262 of the present example is emitted from the upper part of the pachinko machine 1 toward the lower player by the horn part 264a of the upper speaker bracket 264, and this causes noise to other pachinko machines. It has become difficult. Although not shown in detail, the front speaker bracket 264 also has a plurality of front surfaces facing different directions, like the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250 and the main body portion 252a of the side inner lens 252. In this case, the light transmitted through the upper speaker bracket 264 is irregularly refracted due to the non-uniform plate thickness.

  The upper speaker cover 266 covering the front side of the upper speaker bracket 264 is fitted from the rear side of the side decoration frame 242 so as to close the light emitting decoration opening 242g in contact with the upper end frame 242c of the side decoration frame 242. The surface is formed in a curved surface shape that is continuous with the surface of the side lens 250. Further, a plurality of through holes 266a are formed on the surface of the upper speaker cover 266 so that sound from the upper left speaker 262 can be sufficiently transmitted to the player side.

  Although not shown in detail, the upper speaker cover 266 also has a plurality of inner surfaces facing different directions like the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250 and the main body portion 252a of the side inner lens 252. In this case, the light transmitted through the upper speaker cover 266 is irregularly refracted due to the non-uniform plate thickness. Therefore, in the upper speaker cover 266 and the upper speaker bracket 264, the light is irregularly refracted, so that it is difficult to visually recognize the through hole 266a formed in the upper left speaker 262 and the upper speaker cover 266 from the player side. The appearance can be similar to that of the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250.

[1-2E. Side speaker cover]
Next, the pair of side speaker covers 290 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. The side speaker cover 290 covers and decorates the front surface of the side speaker 130 attached to the door frame base unit 100, and includes the lower ends of the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 240, the dish unit 300, and the like. It is arranged between.

  The side speaker cover 290 supports a cover body 291 having a disk shape and a plurality of holes curved so as to cover the front surface of the side speaker 130 attached to the door frame base unit 100, and an outer periphery of the cover body 291 from the front side. A main body member 292 that has an annular opening that is formed so as to be continuous with the lower ends of the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 240, and a lower plate of the dish unit 300 that is disposed below the main body member 292. And a lower member 293 formed so as to be continuous with the left and right rear ends of the cover 328. In this example, since the cover body 291 is made of a predetermined punching metal, it is difficult to be deformed even if it is pushed or hit from the front side, and the side speaker 130 is possible. As long as it can be protected.

  In the side speaker cover 290, a plating layer having metallic luster is formed on the surface of the main body member 292. The lower member 293 is formed of a translucent member having a milky white color similar to that of the lower plate cover 328 in the plate unit 300 described later.

The side speaker 130 can be removed from the door frame 5 without being removed from the door frame 5, and the side speaker 130 attached to the door frame 5 can be easily replaced.

  Further, even when a player or the like hits the door frame 5 (side speaker cover 290) during the game and the side speaker 130 is damaged, as described above, the side speaker 130 attached to the door frame 5 can be easily removed. Since it can be exchanged, the interruption time of the game due to the exchange of the side speakers 130 can be shortened as much as possible, and the interruption is prolonged, so that the player becomes irritated and less interested and the interest is lowered. Can be suppressed.

  Further, the side speaker 130 is sandwiched between the speaker bracket 132 and the door frame base main body 110, and the side speaker 130 can be attached to the door frame 5 ( Since it can be attached to the door frame base body 110), the side speaker 130 does not need to be provided with a mounting piece, a mounting hole or the like, the cost for the side speaker 130 can be reduced, and the cost for the pachinko machine 1 is increased. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the cover body 291 that covers the front surface of the side speaker 130 is formed of a metal plate (punching metal) having a plurality of through holes, the cover body 291 is not affected even if a player or the like hits the cover body 291. Deformation and breakage can be reduced as much as possible, the side speakers 130 can be sufficiently protected to prevent the occurrence of defects, and the durability of the pachinko machine 1 can be enhanced. .

  Moreover, since the side speaker cover 290 which covers the side speaker 130 is provided between the left and right side decoration units 200, 240 and the dish unit 300, the side speaker 130 is positioned relatively close to the player. However, as described above, the side speaker 130 can be easily replaced, and the interruption time of the game can be shortened as much as possible. Thus, it is possible to suppress the player's interest from deteriorating. In addition, since the side speaker 130 is arranged as close as possible to the player, the sound output from the side speaker 130 can be heard by the player more efficiently, and a powerful sound is provided. In addition, it is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating by making the sound production enjoyable.

  Further, since the side speaker 130 is disposed between the left and right side decoration units 200 and 240 and the dish unit 300, the continuity of decoration by the side decoration units 200 and 240 can be maintained, and the side decoration unit can be maintained. 200 and 240 and the dish unit 300 can be connected without a sense of incongruity, and the side speaker cover 290 can prevent the appearance from deteriorating, and the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention strongly can be obtained. Further, since the surface shape of the main body member 292 in the side speaker cover 290 is formed so as to be continuous with the surface shapes of the side decoration units 200 and 240 and the dish unit 300, the side speaker cover 290 is formed on the side decoration units 200 and 240. It is possible to make the player feel uncomfortable even if the side speaker 130 is provided on the front side separately from the side decoration units 200, 240, etc. The design of the front surface of the door frame 5 (pachinko machine 1) can be made favorable.

  Furthermore, when removing the main body member 292 of the side speaker cover 290 from the door frame 5, it is necessary to first remove the security cover 180 and the glass unit 590 attached to the rear side of the door frame 5. It may take a little time to remove the glass, and it is possible to make the removal work troublesome for a person who intends to perform an illegal act, etc., and to make the removal work conspicuous by removing a relatively large glass unit 590. The pachinko machine 1 having high deterrence power (safety) against fraudulent acts etc. can be made by deceiving theft or fraudulent acts.

The direction in which the dial operation unit 401 is rotating can be detected from the detection pattern of the rotation detection piece 410c by the sensors 432a and 432b.

  The operation unit 400 of the present example, as will be described in detail later, can rotate the dial operation unit 401 clockwise or counterclockwise by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414. . Further, the operation unit 400 rotates the dial operation unit 401 step by step by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414 using a stepping motor, or when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401, Rotation can be assisted, it can be prevented from turning on purpose, or a click can be added to the rotation. Further, the operation unit 400 can vibrate the dial operation unit 401 by repeatedly rotating the dial drive motor 414 forward and backward in small increments.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 50, in the operation unit 400 of this example, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed downward, the stepped portion 407 a of the button cap 407 comes into contact with the protruding portion 401 f of the dial operating unit 401, and the button cap Since 407 (press operation part 405) cannot be further immersed into the inner cylinder part 401e, the load applied to the press operation part 405 is dialed via the step part 407a and the protrusion part 401f. The operation unit 401 can be dispersed, and the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400) is not easily broken.

  Further, the operation unit 400 of this example presses the pressing operation unit 405 so that the dial drive motor 414 is adjusted in small increments while the stepped portion 407a of the button cap 407 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operating unit 401 are in contact with each other. By repeatedly rotating and reversing, the pressing operation unit 405 can be vibrated together with the dial operation unit 401, and the player can be surprised by the vibration of the pressing operation unit 405 so that the game and production can be enjoyed. It has become.

  According to the operation unit 400 of this example, the dial operation unit 401 that can be rotated by the player and the pressing operation unit 405 that can be pressed are supported by the metal base member 420. Since the strength can be increased, it is possible to prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged even if a player or the like hits the operation units 401 and 405 strongly, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be freely attached to the player. In addition to being able to operate, it is possible to improve the operability of the operation units 401 and 405, and to prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating by enjoying the effects using the operation units 401 and 405. it can.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is arranged at the center of the annular dial operation unit 401. If the pressing operation unit 405 is struck strongly, the dial operation unit 401 is also struck, The force of hitting 401 and 405 can be distributed to the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405, and it is possible to prevent the hitting impact from being concentrated and prevent the operation unit 400 and the dish unit 300 from being damaged. Therefore, the operation units 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 can be made to withstand strong hits, and the player can freely operate the operation units 401 and 405. It is possible to improve the operability of 405 and to entertain the performance using the operation units 401 and 405 and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game. Door can be.

  Further, the base member 420 and the like of the operation unit 400 are accommodated in the recessed operation unit mounting portion 314c of the dish unit 300, and a predetermined amount of gap is formed between the lower end of the base member 420 and the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. As shown, when the cover main body 426 attached to the base member 420 is fixed to the upper surface of the dish unit 300 and the operation parts 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 are hit to give an impact or a load is applied, Until the lower end of the operation unit 400 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c, the cover body 426 can absorb an impact and a load by elastic deformation, and the lower end of the operation unit 400 is connected to the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. After the contact, an impact is caused by the bottom of the operation unit mounting portion 314c (the dish unit 300). Since the load can be received, the impacts from the operation units 401 and 405 can be dispersed to avoid the concentration of the impacts, and the impact resistance and load resistance by the operation unit 400 and the dish unit 300 can be reduced. Can be increased.

  Furthermore, the base member 420 is provided with a plurality of legs 420e protruding downward from positions where the operation parts 401 and 405 are supported, and the legs 420e of the base member 420 are the operation units in the dish unit 300. Even when the impact from the operation portions 401 and 405 is applied to the base member 420 by contacting the bottom surface of the mounting portion 314c, the leg portions 420e are not arranged immediately below the impact, so the operation portions 401 and 405 in the base member 420 are not provided. The portion that supports the base plate is bent by the impact, and the base member 420 is bent (elastically deformed), so that the shock from the operation units 401 and 405 can be absorbed to some extent, and the base member 420 is applied to the dish unit 300. It is possible to reduce the impact and prevent the dish unit 300 from being damaged.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is held by the operation unit holding member 416 attached to the base member 420 from below so that a part of the dial operation unit 401 overlaps the base member 420 in plan view. Even when the operation unit holding member 416 that holds the dial operation unit 401 moves away from the base member 420 when the operation unit 401 is struck from the upper side, the dial operation unit 401 comes into contact with the upper surface of the base member 420. The base member 420 can restrict the downward movement of the dial operation unit 401 and can satisfactorily prevent the dial operation unit 401 from falling.

  Furthermore, since the dial operation unit 401 having the pressing operation unit 405 disposed at the center is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 according to the gaming state, the dial operation unit 401 rotates freely (rotation drive including vibration). Thus, the player can be surprised and attention can be paid to the effects produced by the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can be entertained. The effects using the 401 (press operation unit 405) can be made more difficult to get tired of, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest in games from being reduced.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 via the driven gear 410 and the drive gear 412, and the position of the rotation axis of the dial drive motor 414 is, as a matter of course, the dial operation unit 401 (driven gear). 410), even if the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 is strongly struck, the impact is transmitted via the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401. Direct dial drive motor 414 can be avoided and damage to dial drive motor 414 (operation unit 400) can be prevented.

  Furthermore, since the opening 420a of the base member 420 has a smaller diameter than the dial operation unit 401, the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the gear rail 416a of the operation unit holding member 416 through the opening 420a. Even if the gear rail 416a (operation unit holding member 416) moves downward due to an impact or load from 401, the dial operation unit 401 can abut on the upper surface of the opening 420a of the base member 420, and the dial operation unit 401 becomes the base member. It is possible to reliably prevent a drop from 420. Further, since the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the annular gear rail 416a, the contact area between the dial operation unit 401 and the operation unit holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) can be increased. It is possible to prevent the operating portion holding member 416 from being damaged by dispersing the impact and load from the operation.

  Further, since the dial drive motor 414 for rotating the dial operation unit 401 is attached to the metal base member 420, the dial operation unit 401 is frequently rotated by the dial drive motor 414, or the dial drive motor 414 is driven. Although the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped by the player despite being driven by the rotation, even if the amount of heat generated due to excessive load on the dial drive motor 414 increases, The heat generated from the dial drive motor 414 can be dissipated and radiated satisfactorily through the base member 420, and it is possible to prevent the dial drive means 414 from being defective due to overheating. That can withstand high loads. Can be sufficiently embody the effect of the dial operation unit 401 using a dial driving means 414 as described above, can be pachinko machine 1 to be entertained player.

  Furthermore, rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b that detect the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 and a press detection sensor 432c that detects the press of the press operation unit 405 are provided. The dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 are provided. Rotation operation and pressing operation can be detected, so that it is possible to produce an effect according to the player's operation based on the detection signal. It is possible to provide an experience with a bodily sensation, and to suppress the interest of the game from deteriorating by making the player entertained. In addition, a dial decoration board 430 and a button decoration board 432 for decorating the operation parts 401 and 405 are provided, and the operation parts 401 and 405 can be decorated with light emission, so that the operation parts 401 and 405 emit light. Thus, the player's interest can be attracted to the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can easily operate the operation units 401 and 405.

  Further, when the pressing operation portion 405 in the operation unit 400 is pressed, the step portion 407a of the pressing operation portion 405 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation portion 401 are in contact with each other, so that the player can press the pressing operation portion 405. When the dial is pressed, the dial operation unit 401 is vibrated by repeating forward and reverse rotations within a predetermined angle range by the dial drive motor 414, thereby allowing the dial operation unit 401 to contact the projecting portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401 via the step 407a. The pressing operation unit 405 can also be vibrated. Therefore, since it is possible to give the player a feeling of operation with respect to the pressing operation 405 without separately providing a vibrator or the like for vibrating the pressing operation unit 405, an effect using the operation unit 400 can be enjoyed. It can suppress that the interest with respect to a game falls. In addition, since the pressing operation unit 405 vibrates when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the player can be greatly surprised by the movement of the pressing operation unit 405 that the user thought would not move. It is possible to make it seem that there is something, and it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game and suppress the interest from deteriorating. Therefore, unlike the conventional operation unit, the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 move freely, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the operation unit 400, and the player can participate in the production using the operation unit 400. It is possible to facilitate the operation of the operation unit 400 to the player, and the enjoyment of the game by reducing the operation of the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 are in contact with each other, so that the force from the pressing operation unit 405 can be transmitted to the dial operation unit 401 side. Even when the pressing operation unit 405 is struck, the load and impact applied to the pressing operation unit 405 can be dispersed also on the dial operation unit 401 side, and load resistance and impact resistance against the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed. Can be increased. Therefore, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is struck, it is possible to prevent the pressing operation unit 405 from being damaged. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to damage to the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400). It is possible to prevent a player's interest in games from being reduced due to the interruption of the game.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is supported so as to be rotatable only within a predetermined angle range with respect to the axial center extending in the vertical direction. When the player presses the pressing operation unit 405, the dial is driven. Even if the dial operation unit 401 is driven to rotate by the motor 414, the pressing operation unit 405 can be prevented from rotating together with the dial operation unit 401, so that the player can perform the dial operation in the operation unit 400. The role of each of the unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be surely recognized, and the player can easily enjoy the performance using the operation unit 400, and is guided to the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 405. The “PUSH” characters that have been played can be easily read from the player side without turning or tilting greatly, It is possible to reliably recognize that the part 405 is intended to pressing.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 includes a protruding portion 401f that protrudes from the inner periphery of the inner tube portion 401a toward the axial center, and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 has a smaller diameter than a predetermined position in the vertical direction. Since the step portion 407a is formed at the upper end of the operation unit 400, the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 401a of the dial operation portion 401 and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 can be brought as close as possible. It is possible to improve the appearance by reducing the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 as much as possible, and the inside of the operation unit 400 through the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405. It is possible to make it difficult for foreign matter such as dust and dust to enter, and it is difficult for the dial operation unit 401 to rotate due to the entry of foreign matter, and it is difficult to press the pressing operation unit 405. The occurrence of a problem it is possible to prevent that or Tsu.

  Further, the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is formed in an annular shape, and when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, which part of the circumferential direction with respect to the dial operation unit 401 is selected. Since the contact can be made even at a position, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed with a feeling that it is tilted (a position that is biased toward the outer periphery from the center of the pressing operation unit 405), the dial operation unit 401 is reliably contacted. Therefore, the rotational drive from the dial drive motor 414 can be reliably transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, since the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 are annularly contacted, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be widely distributed to the dial operation unit 401 side. Impact resistance can be further increased.

  Further, since the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is inclined so as to become lower toward the direction of the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401, In comparison, the contact area can be relatively increased, and the driving force from the dial drive motor 414 can be easily transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 side via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed radially outward in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the rotation axis extends, and the load is prevented from being concentrated. The loadability and impact resistance can be reliably increased, the durability of the operation unit 400 can be increased, and the occurrence of problems during the game can be reduced as much as possible, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the dial drive motor 414 of the operation unit 400 is a stepping motor capable of forward / reverse rotation, the dial operation unit 401 is not simply rotated, but can be easily stopped at a predetermined position, or forward / reverse. The operation unit 400 (pachinko machine 1) that can be easily vibrated by repetition and that exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

  Further, since the operation unit 400 is supported by the dish unit 300 having the upper tray 301 for storing the game balls, the strength and rigidity of the dish unit 300 is high in order to store a large number of game balls. Thus, it is possible to sufficiently cope with a smashing of the operation unit 400 (pressing operation unit 405), and it is possible to easily entertain using the operation unit 400.

[1-2H. Handle device]
Next, the handle device 500 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 51 is an exploded perspective view of the handle device in the door frame as seen from behind. As shown in the figure, the handle device 500 of the present embodiment is attached to a handle bracket 140 attached to the front surface of the door frame base body 110 of the door frame base unit 100 through the handle insertion hole 334a of the plate side outer cover 334 of the plate unit 300. A fixed and cylindrical handle base 502 whose front end bulges out in a direction perpendicular to the axis, an annular rotary handle main body rear 504 disposed on the front side of the handle base 502 so as to be rotatable relative to the handle base 502, and a rotary handle A rotating handle body front 506 fixed to the front surface of the rear body 504 and integrally rotatable with the rotating handle body rear 504, and disposed on the front surface of the rotating handle body front 506 and fixed to the handle base 502. Rotating handle body front 506 and rotation in cooperation A front cover 508 for rotatably supporting the bundle body after 504, and a.

  Further, the handle device 500 includes a shaft member 510 that is mounted and fixed at the center of rotation in front of the rotary handle body so as to protrude from the front side to the rear side and has a non-circular bearing portion 510a at the rear end, and a bearing portion of the shaft member 510. A rotation position detection sensor 512 that has a detection shaft portion 512a that can be rotated by being engaged with 510a and that is non-rotatably fitted to the front surface of the handle base 502, and the rotation position detection sensor 512 is sandwiched between the handle base 502 and the rotation position detection sensor 512. A sensor support member 514 having a through hole 514a that is fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 and through which the detection shaft 512a of the rotational position detection sensor 512 can pass, a touch sensor 516 attached to the rear surface of the sensor support member 514, and a touch sensor 516 is a firing stop switch 518 mounted at a different position on the rear surface of the sensor support member 514, and a sensor support A single button 520 that is pivotally supported with respect to the member 514 and activates the firing stop switch 518, and a rotation handle body front 506 and a rotation handle body rear 504 that are arranged so as to cover the outer periphery of the shaft member 510 are initially rotated ( And a handle return spring 522 that urges it to return to a counterclockwise rotation end when viewed from the front.

  As shown in the drawing, the handle base 502 of the handle device 500 of the present example has a hemispherical round shape that expands to the front side on the front end side, and a cylindrical shape with the rear end open on the rear end side. Three groove portions 502a extending in the axial direction are formed on a cylindrical outer periphery on the rear end side. The three groove portions 502a of the handle base 502 have one on the upper side, two on the lower side, and unequal intervals with respect to the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the three protrusions 143 in the cylindrical portion 141 of the handle bracket 140. Has been placed. The handle base 502 is supported in a non-rotatable state by being inserted into the tube portion 141 of the handle bracket 140 so that the groove portion 502a is fitted to the protrusion 143.

  In the handle device 500, an arcuate slit 506a arranged concentrically with the rotation shaft is formed on the front surface 506 of the rotary handle, and three mounting bosses 508a protruding rearward are formed on the front end cover 508. These mounting bosses 508a are fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 through a slit 506a in the front 506 of the rotary handle. As a result, the circumferential end of the slit 506a in the front 506 of the rotating handle main body abuts on the mounting boss 508a of the front end cover 508 so that the rotation range of the rotating handle main bodies 504 and 506 is restricted.

  Further, in the handle device 500, a locking protrusion 506b protruding rearward is formed on the rotary handle main body front 506, and one end side (front end side) of the coiled handle return spring 522 is formed on the locking protrusion 506b. And the other end side (rear end side) of the handle return spring 522 is locked to the sensor support member 514, and the rotary handle body 504 is held by the handle return spring 522. , 506 are biased to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front.

  The handle device 500 of this example is attached to the handle attachment portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 via the handle bracket 140. The handle mounting portion 114 of the door frame base body 110 is inclined so that its mounting surface faces the outside (open side) in a plan view as viewed from above. The device 500 is also tilted outward in plan view (in other words, the front end of the pachinko machine 1 is tilted so as to face the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front vertical plane of the pachinko machine 1). 5 to be fixedly attached. Thereby, it is easy for a player to grasp the handle device 500, and there is no sense of incongruity in the rotation operation, and it is easy to perform the rotation operation.

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor, and when the rotational handle main bodies 504 and 506 (the handle device 500) are rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is detected via the shaft member 510. The shaft portion 512a rotates. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft portion 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the ball hitting device 650 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512. Thus, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the rotary handle bodies 504 and 506 and the front end cover 508 are conductively plated, and the touch sensor 516 detects contact when the player touches the rotary handle bodies 504 and 506 and the like. It is like that. When the touch sensor 516 detects the player's contact, when the rotary handle bodies 504 and 506 are rotated, the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled with the strength according to the rotation, and the game ball Can be typed in. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball by rotating the handle device 500 in some way without touching the handle device 500, the firing solenoid 654 is not driven and the game ball cannot be driven, It is possible to reduce a load (burden) related to the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed by preventing the player from playing a game different from the original game.

  Further, when the player presses the single button 520 while rotating the handle device 500, the firing stop switch 518 detects the operation of the single button 520, and the firing control unit 4120 stops the rotational driving of the firing solenoid 654. It is like that. Thereby, even if it does not return rotation operation of the handle apparatus 500, while launching of a game ball can be stopped temporarily, before operating the single button 520 by operating the single button 520 release operation. A game ball can be launched with a driving strength.

  In the handle device 500 of this example, the rotational operation of the rotary handle main bodies 504 and 506 is electrically detected by the rotational position detection sensor 512, and then the emission control is performed based on the detection of the rotational position from the rotational position detection sensor 512. Since the rotational driving strength of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled by the unit 4120, the handle device 500 provided in the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launching device 650 provided in the main body frame 3 as in a conventional pachinko machine, It is not necessary to provide a mechanical (for example, joint unit) mechanism so that the door frames 5 are linked to each other when the door frame 5 is closed and the linkage is released when the door frame 5 is opened, and the configuration relating to the pachinko machine 1 is simplified. Can be eliminated, and the occurrence of defects in the joint unit can be eliminated. And it is capable to suppress.

[1-2I. Foul cover unit]

The cover base 542 includes an opening / closing operation piece 542g for operating the opening / closing shutter 792 of the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790 on the lower rear surface of the second ball inlet 542c. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the opening / closing operation piece 542g contacts the spherical contact portion 793d of the opening / closing crank 793 in the ball outlet opening / closing unit 790, thereby rotating the opening / closing crank 793. The open / close shutter 792 can be opened.

  The front cover 544 of the foul cover unit 540 is formed in a substantially plate shape that closes the front surface of the cover base 540, and is disposed in the upper left corner of the front view and communicates with the first spherical passage 542b of the cover base 540 and penetrates in the front-rear direction. The first sphere outlet 544a and the second sphere outlet 544b that is disposed in the lower right corner of the front view and communicates with the downstream end of the second sphere passage of the cover base 540 and penetrates in the front-rear direction. The first ball outlet 544 a of the front cover 544 is connected to the upper plate ball supply port 310 c of the plate unit 300 through the notch 101 a of the door frame base unit 100. Further, the rear end of the lower dish ball supply rod 310h in the dish unit 300 is connected to the second ball outlet 544b through the ball passage opening 110f of the door frame base body 110.

  The foul cover unit 540 of the present example passes the game ball supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the first ball inlet 542a through the first ball passage 542b. 544a can be supplied to the upper plate 101 through the upper plate ball supply port 310c of the plate unit 300. Further, the foul cover unit 540 passes the game ball supplied from the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the second ball inlet 542c through the second ball passage 542d. From 544b, the tray unit 300 can be supplied to the lower plate 302 through the lower plate ball supply bowl 310h and the lower plate ball supply port 310g.

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 will be described in detail later, but when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the foul ball inlet 542e is positioned below the foul space 626 of the main body frame 3. When the game ball fired by the hit ball launching device 650 does not reach the game area 1100 and becomes a foul ball and falls in the foul space 626, it is received by the foul ball inlet 542e. Then, the foul cover unit 540 discharges (supply) the game balls received at the foul ball inlet 542e from the second ball outlet 544b to the lower plate 302 of the dish unit 300 through the foul ball passage 542f and the second ball passage 542d. ) Can be.

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 of the present example forms a side surface on the upstream side (left side in front view) of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and can swing by a game ball stored in the accommodation space 546. A swing member 548 pivotally supported by the shaft, a full tank detection sensor 550 that detects the swing of the swing member 548, and a spring that biases the swing member 548 in a non-detection state by the full tank detection sensor 550. 552. As shown in FIG. 54, the swinging member 548 is pivotally supported at the lower end with respect to the cover base 542, and the upper end is rotated to the left in the front view. In this state, the left side wall of the accommodation space 546 is formed. Further, the swinging member 548 is biased by the spring 552 to a position where the swinging member 548 is in a substantially vertical state. Further, the swinging member 548 is formed with a detection piece 548a protruding outward on the side surface opposite to the accommodation space 546 side, and this detection piece 548a is detected by a full tank detection sensor 550. .

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 includes an earth rail 554 disposed at the bottom of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and a plate-like earth metal fitting 556 that covers the right end and the left end in the rear view of the cover base 542, respectively. , And can remove static electricity generated by rolling resistance caused by circulation of game balls.

  In this example, the game balls paid out from the prize ball unit 700 are supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branch unit 770 to the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 via the foul cover unit 540. Even if the inside of the upper plate 301 is full, when the game ball is further paid out from the prize ball unit 700, the game ball stagnates in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540, and further, When the upstream normal passage 773 is also full, the game ball flows to the full tank passage 775 side via the branch space 772 of the full tank branch unit 770 (see FIG. 79). From the full tank outlet 776 to the second bulb inlet 542c, the second bulb passage 542d, and the second bulb outlet 544 of the foul cover unit 540. It comes to be supplied to the lower tray 302 of tray unit 300 via the.

  When the inside of the lower plate 302 of the tray unit 300 is filled with game balls, the game balls can no longer come out from the second ball outlet 544b of the foul cover unit 540, and are stuck in the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d. Game balls will be stored. Further, as the game balls are paid out from the prize ball unit 700 and more game balls are stored in the accommodation space 546, the storage pressure of the game balls acts on the swinging member 548 and resists the biasing force of the spring 552. The upper end of the swing member 548 will move to the left. When the detection piece 548a of the swinging member 548 is detected by the full tank detection sensor 550, the payout control board 4110 stops the payout of the game ball from the prize ball unit 700, and also provides the player with a dish unit. Notification is made to prompt the player to discharge the game balls in 300 to the outside.

  When the game ball in the storage space 546 (the lower plate 302) is discharged and the swinging member 548 is returned to a substantially vertical state by the biasing force of the spring 552, the full detection sensor 550 detects the detection piece 548a. The non-detection is made, and the payout of game balls from the prize ball unit 700 is resumed.

[1-2J. Ball feed unit]
Subsequently, the ball feeding unit 580 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 55 and 57. FIG. 55 is a front perspective view of the ball feeding unit in the door frame. FIG. 56 is a rear perspective view of the ball feeding unit in the door frame. FIG. 57 is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit as seen from the front. FIG. 58 is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit viewed from the rear after removing the rear case. The ball feeding unit 580 in the door frame 5 can supply the game balls supplied from the upper plate 301 in the tray unit 300 one by one to the hitting ball launcher 650, and the game balls stored in the upper plate 301. The upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 can be pulled out to the lower dish 302 by operating the upper dish ball removal button 341.

A ball feeding member 584 supported so as to be rotatable around the axis, and a ball feeding solenoid 585 for rotating the ball feeding member 584. In this example, as shown in the figure, the ball feeding member 584 is arranged on the right side of the entrance 581a in front view, and the ball removing member 583 is on the left side of the ball feeding member 584, and the ball feeding solenoid 585 is on the right side. Has been placed.

  The front cover 581 of the ball feeding unit 580 includes an arc-shaped slit 581c formed concentrically with the rotation center of the ball removing member 583 on the left side of the ball outlet 581b when viewed from the front. An operating rod 583c of a ball punching member 583, which will be described later, extends from 581c to the front. Further, the front cover 581 extends upward from the upper edge of the entrance 581a. When the front cover 581 is assembled to the door frame base unit 100, the rear end opening of the ball guide channel 344b in the upper dish ball removal base 344 is assembled. Is formed to close.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 has a partition portion 583a and a partition portion 583a which are separated from the entrance port 581a and the ball exit port 581b below the entrance port 581a and whose upper surface is lowered toward the ball feed member 584. Around the axis that extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feed member 584 and bends from the middle in the vertical direction toward the lower center of the ball outlet 581b and the lower end extends in the front-rear direction. A pivot collar 583b that is pivotally supported, a rod-shaped actuation collar 583c that projects forward from the upper end of the pivot collar 583b, and a side surface of the pivot collar 583b below the actuation collar 583c. And a weight portion 583d protruding to the opposite side to the partition portion 583a. An operating rod 583c of the ball removing member 583 is formed so as to protrude forward through an arc-shaped slit 581c formed in the front cover 581 (see FIG. 55), and a ball feed opening of the door frame base body 110 The upper tray ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300 is in contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343 a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the 113.

  Further, the ball feeding member 584 has a fan-shaped blocking portion 584a and a blocking portion 584a in plan view with the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction facing the entrance 581a and the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removing member 583. A sphere holding portion 584b that is recessed in an arc shape from the rear end to the rotation axis side, and a rod-like flange portion 584c that extends downward from the rear end of the sphere holding portion 584b are provided. The blocking portion 584a and the ball holding portion 584b in the ball feeding member 54 are formed within an angle range of about 90 ° around the rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 584b of the ball feeding member 584 is sized to hold one game ball. The ball feed member 584 rotates about the rotation axis when the flange 584c arranged at a position eccentric from the rotation axis is moved in the left-right direction by driving the ball feeding solenoid 585. ing.

  In the ball feeding member 584, the blocking portion 584a faces the partition portion 583a, and at the same time, the ball holding portion 584b communicates with the hitting ball supply port 582a, and the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition portion 583a. It rotates between the holding position. When the ball feeding member 584 is in the supply position, the game ball held by the ball holding portion 584b is supplied from the hit ball supply port 582a to the hit ball launching device 650 and enters the partition portion 583a from the advance port 581a. The ball is blocked from moving toward the ball holding portion 584b (hit ball supply port 582a) by the blocking portion 584a and stays on the partition portion 583a. On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 584 rotates to the holding position, the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition portion 583a, and the end of the ball holding portion 584b on the flange portion 584c side closes the hitting ball supply port 582a. Only one game ball on the partition portion 583a is held in the ball holding portion 584b.

  Further, the ball feed unit 580 is moved back and forth by the ball feed operation rod 586 whose tip is swung vertically by driving (energizing) the ball feed solenoid 585 and the movement of the tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 which is swung vertically. And a ball feed crank 587 that rotates around an axis extending in the direction and rotates the ball feed member 584 around an axis extending in the vertical direction. The ball feed crank 587 is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 and extends in the left-right direction, and the side of the engagement portion 587a that engages with the ball feed operation rod 586. Is disposed on the opposite side and is supported between a front cover 581 and a rear cover 582 so as to be pivotable about a shaft extending in the front-rear direction, and a ball feed member 584 extending upward from the shaft 587b. And a transmission portion 587c engaged with a rod-shaped flange portion 584c (see FIG. 57) protruding downward from a position eccentric with respect to the rotation center. In this example, a flapper solenoid in which a ball feeding solenoid 585 and a ball feeding operating rod 586 are integrally formed is used.

  The ball feed unit 580 of this example transmits the movement of the ball feed actuating rod 586 that swings by the driving of the ball feed solenoid 585 that moves forward and backward by the ball feed actuating rod 586 and the ball feed crank 587. 584 can be rotated. When the ball feed solenoid 585 is not driven (normal time), the tip of the ball feed operating rod 586 swinging away from the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 585 is positioned downward. In this state, the ball feeding member 584 is located at the supply position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven, the ball feeding operation rod 586 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 585 and the tip of the swing is positioned upward, so that the ball feeding member 584 rotates to the holding position. It has become. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 584 receives one game ball, and when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is released (OFF state), the ball feeding member 584 receives the game ball. The game ball is sent (supplied) to the hitting ball launching device 650 side. The driving of the ball feeding solenoid 585 in the ball feeding unit 580 is controlled by the firing control unit 4120 in synchronization with the drive control of the firing solenoid 654.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 that is pivotally supported in the ball feeding unit 580 of the present example is configured to apply a moment that rotates counterclockwise by the weight portion 583c. The operation rod 583c protruding forward comes into contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 in the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300, so that its rotation is restricted. In a normal state, the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removal member 583 partitions the entrance 581a and the ball removal port 581b so that the game ball does not enter the ball removal port 581b side. Then, when the player presses the upper dish ball removal button 341 of the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 in the dish unit 300 downward, the upper dish ball removal slider 343 slides downward together with the contact piece 343a and comes into contact. As the piece 343a moves downward, the operating rod 583c also moves relatively downward.

  In this way, when the operating rod 583c moves downward together with the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340, the ball removal member 583 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the entrance by the partition portion 583a. The partition between the ball outlet 381a and the ball outlet 381b is released, and the game ball that has entered from the entrance 381a is discharged from the ball outlet 381b to the ball outlet passage 344c of the upper dish ball outlet base 344 of the dish unit 300. Then, it is discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 302.

  Since the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 against which the operating rod 583c of the ball removal member 583 abuts is biased upward by a coil spring, the game ball is vigorously supplied onto the partition portion 581a. However, the impact can be absorbed by the coil spring that urges the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the operating rod 583c, and the ball removal member 583 and the like can be prevented from being damaged. It is possible to prevent the partition portion 583a from bouncing back.

  As described above, according to the present example, the game ball is stored in the upper plate 301 and the game ball is supplied to the ball feeding unit 580, and then the player holds the handle device 500 provided on the front surface of the door frame 5. When operated, the game ball is sent to the ball hitting device 650 by driving the ball feed solenoid 585 of the ball feed unit 580, and the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 by the ball hitting device 650, thereby playing the game window 101 of the door frame 5. A game is played in the game area 1100 that can be viewed via the player, so that the player can be entertained, and a feed mechanism (ball feed member 584 or ball feed solenoid 585 is provided on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100. Etc.) and a discharge mechanism (ball removal member 583) are disposed, so that only the ball feed member 584 and the ball removal member 583 are provided. The ball feeding member 584 and the ball hitting device 650 are also brought as close as possible, and when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged by operating the upper plate ball removing button 341, it remains on the ball feeding member 584 side. It is possible to reduce the number of game balls as much as possible, and to prevent the player from feeling lost, and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 provided with the ball removing member 583 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100, the capacity of the upper plate 301 in the plate unit 300 can be increased, and the game ball can be thrown in. It is possible to prevent the game balls in the upper plate 301 from disappearing early or the game balls in the upper plate 301 from being filled up early due to the operation. It is possible to reduce the player's feeling of annoyance and suppress the interest, and the dish unit 300 can be downsized while maintaining the capacity of the upper dish 301, so that the game The area 1100 can be enlarged (widened) to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention.

  Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is provided with the ball feed member 583, the ball feed member 580 is simply attached to the ball feed member 580 as compared with the ball feed member 584 and the ball feed member 583 separately. 584 and the ball punching member 583 can be attached, the labor involved in the assembly can be simplified, the feeding unit 580 can be easily replaced, and a defect occurs in the ball feeding member 584 and the ball punching member 583. Even so, the problem can be easily solved by replacing the ball feeding unit 580.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100 in the door frame 5, the upper plate ball is compared with the ball feeding unit 580 provided on the main body frame 3 side. There is no need to configure the transmission mechanism (the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340) that transmits the operation of the removal button 341 to the ball removal member 584 of the ball feeding unit 580 so as to straddle the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 that can be opened and closed. The configuration related to the transmission mechanism can be simplified. Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is provided on the door frame 5 side, the transmission mechanism (when the door frame 5 is opened, as compared with the case where the ball feeding unit 580 is provided on the main body frame 3 side). By shutting off the upper bowl removing mechanism 340), it is possible to avoid the possibility that the transmission mechanism will be consumed at an early stage, causing malfunction or damage, and reliability for the operation of the transmission mechanism, the ball feeding unit 580, etc. And durability can be increased.

  Further, since the upper plate ball removal button 341 is pressed downward, the game ball can be discharged from the upper plate 301 to the lower plate 302 or the upper plate 301 only by pressing the upper plate ball removal button 341 downward. Can be stopped, and the player can easily perform the ball removal operation in the upper plate 301 by the upper plate ball removal button 341.

  The partition 583a of the ball removal member 583 is moved by the movement of the upper plate ball removal slider 343 that slides in the vertical direction in accordance with the operation of the upper plate ball removal button 341, and the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is moved. At the same time, the partition portion 583a is also movable in the vertical direction, so that the horizontal movement range of the upper plate ball removal slider 343 and the partition portion 583a can be made as small as possible. The unit 580 can be reduced in size, and the pachinko machine 1 that can reliably achieve the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is urged upward, and the partition portion 583a of the ball removal member 583 communicates the entrance 581a and the hit ball supply port 582a when the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is in the raised position. Therefore, even if the game ball from the upper plate 301 vigorously comes into contact with the partition portion 583a, the impact can be reduced by the urging force acting on the upper plate ball removal slider 343, and the partition portion 583a (ball removal member) 583) can be improved. Further, since the impact applied to the partition portion 583a can be reduced by the urging force acting on the upper dish ball removal slider 343, it is possible to make it difficult to repel even when the game ball collides with the partition portion 583a. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball feeding unit 580 and the like from being damaged and causing problems.

  In addition, since the partition portion 583a is rotated, the movement of the partition portion 583a when a load of a game ball is applied to the partition portion 583a is compared with the case where the partition portion 583a is slid. The friction loss can be reduced, and the operability can be improved by lightening the operation of the upper dish ball removal button 341, and the moving range of the partitioning portion 583a can be reduced in the planar projection. The effect of this can be achieved.

  Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated by its own weight in a direction in which the entrance 581a and the ball outlet 581b communicate with each other, the partition portion Rotating due to its own weight, the entrance and the discharge port are in communication with each other, and the game medium in the storage tray is sent to the feed mechanism (input device) side even though the discharge operation unit is not operated. Since it will be discharged to the player side without being played, the player can be made aware that there is a problem with the pachinko machine 1 and moved to a pachinko machine 1 with no problems. It can suppress that it falls.

  Furthermore, since the ball removing member 583 is rotated via the rotating hook part 583b bent, the rotating hook part bent when the game ball collides with the divider 583a. It is possible to prevent the impact from being linearly transmitted to the rotating shaft by dispersing it by 583b or by absorbing it by bending of the rotating collar portion 583b, and to improve the durability of the ball removing member 583. Can be increased.

  Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged directly below the entrance 581a communicating with the upper plate 301 side, when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged, the right and left of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580 are The movement of the direction can be minimized, and the game ball can be discharged well by improving the passage of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580. Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged immediately below the entrance 581a, the discharge path of the game balls in the ball feed unit 580 can be shortened as much as possible, and the ball feed unit 580 can serve as a discharge mechanism. Even if the ball removing member 583 is provided, the ball feeding unit 580 can be prevented from being unnecessarily enlarged.

[1-2K. Glass unit]
Next, the glass unit 590 in the door frame 5 is demonstrated mainly with reference to FIG.22 and FIG.23. This glass unit 590 has an opening of approximately the same size as the gaming window 101 and has an annular, vertically long octagonal unit frame 592 and two sheets for closing the front and rear ends of the opening of the unit frame 592. And a transparent glass plate 594 (see FIG. 106). The unit frame 592 of the glass unit 590 includes four pieces 592a that are arranged apart from each other in the vertical direction at the left and right ends and extend outward in a plate shape, and a plate that extends in the horizontal direction along the lower end and extends downward.

  The glass unit 590 locks the locking piece 592b at the lower end to engage with the vertical bent protrusion 161 of the lower reinforcing sheet metal 154 in the reinforcing unit 150 of the door frame base unit 100 from the rear upper side. After that, the outer peripheral edge of the unit frame 592 is fitted into the glass unit support step 110a of the door frame base main body 110, and the stop piece 592a of the unit frame 592 is locked by the glass unit locking member 190. It is detachably attached to the base unit 100 (see FIGS. 23, 28, etc.).

  As described above, the door frame 5 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment has the upper plate 301 and the lower plate 302 for storing game balls arranged vertically below the gaming window 101 having a vertically long elliptical shape, For driving a game ball stored in the upper plate 301 into the game area 1100 of the game board 4 disposed on the rear side of the transparent glass unit 590 that closes the game window 101 on the right side of the lower plate 302 in front view. A handle device 500 is arranged. The door frame 5 includes a right side decoration unit 200, a left side decoration unit 2200, and an upper decoration unit 280 so as to surround the left and right sides and the upper side of the gaming window 101, and surrounds the lower side of the gaming window 101. Thus, the dish unit 300 is disposed so as to be continuous with the lower ends of the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 220 with the side speaker cover 290 interposed therebetween, and the appearance of each unit 200, 220, 280, 300 is rounded. Appearance with continuous integration.

  Further, the door frame 5 emits the LEDs mounted on the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 286, 320, 322 and the like provided in the respective units 200, 220, 280, 300, thereby causing the gaming window 101 to emit light. In addition, light emission decoration can be performed with an arbitrary light emission color so as to surround the opening 328a of the lower plate cover 328. Of the LEDs mounted on the decoration boards 214, 216, 254, and 256 provided in the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 220, on the rear side of the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250. By turning on and off the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256 that are arranged, the mode of the light-emitting decoration surrounding the game window 101 can be changed.

  Specifically, the light emission modes of the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a corresponding to the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a in the side lenses 210, 250 and the light emission of the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b corresponding to the radiation lens portions 210b, 250b. If the modes are the same emission mode (the emission color and the emission pattern are the same), the overall illumination pattern can be substantially uniform, and the emission modes are different so as to emphasize the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a. If it is, it can be set as the light emission decoration which was interrupted in the circumferential direction, and if those light emission modes are different so as to emphasize the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b, it shines radially around the center of the game window 101. It can be made into a light-emitting decoration, and can attract a player's interest strongly.

  In the door frame 5, the base member 420 that supports the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation unit 400 is made of aluminum alloy by die-casting, and the base member 420 is attached to the plate unit 300 by the cover body 426. Since the operation unit mounting portion 314c is suspended, when the dial operation portion 401 or the pressing operation portion 405 is hit, the cover body 426 is elastically deformed to bend and the base member 420 is lowered. The contact with the upper surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c through the cover 424 can alleviate the impact on the dial operation unit 401, the pressing operation unit 405, and the like, and can prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged. It can be done.

  Furthermore, the operation unit 400 in the door frame 5 is in a state in which the pressing operation unit 405 is inserted into the annular dial operation unit 401, and the dial operation unit 401 is included together even if a player or the like tries to strike the pressing operation unit 405 strongly. Therefore, the impact hit by the dial operation unit 401 can be dispersed, and the impact can be prevented from being concentrated to be hard to break. In addition, the gear rail 416a of the operation portion holding member 416 that rotatably supports the dial operation portion 401 is attached to the opening 420a of the metal base member 420 so as to slightly protrude from the upper surface from below. When the impact hitting the portion 401 is transmitted to the operation portion holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) via the driven gear 410 and the operation portion holding member 416 is bent downward, the lower surface of the driven gear 410 is the outer periphery of the metal opening 420a. Since the base member 420 can contact the upper surface and receive the impact, it is possible to reduce the load on the operation portion holding member 416 and to prevent the gear rail 416a from being crushed by the impact. The durability of the operation unit 400 can be increased.

  In addition, since the operation unit 400 in the door frame 5 is attached to the plate unit 300 from the upper side, even if the operation unit 400 is damaged, the operation unit 400 can be easily replaced. It is possible to prevent the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1 from being lowered by replacing the unit 400.

It is possible to decorate the light emission in a V shape.

  Further, in the door frame 5, the LED 320 a corresponding to the light guide 318 a of the upper dish upper lens 318 fitted in the plurality of openings 316 a of the upper dish front decoration member 316 in the dish unit 300 decorating the lower side of the gaming window 101. , 322 a is a lower group 108 that illuminates and decorates the outer periphery of the lower side of the gaming window 101 so as to connect the left and right lower ends of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103. By appropriately emitting light from the LEDs 320a and 322a of the lower group 108, the lower side of the gaming window 101 and the front edge of the upper plate 301 can be decorated with light emission, and the LEDs 214a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 , 216a, 254a, and 256a, the entire outer periphery of the gaming window 101 can be illuminated and decorated in a ring shape.

  In the door frame 5, the LEDs 430 b and 432 d corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 arranged at the lower center of the gaming window 101 and in the upper center of the dish unit 300 An operation unit group 109 for decorating light emission is used. By appropriately emitting the LEDs 430b and 432d of the operation unit group 109, the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 can be decorated with light emission, and the operation timing and operation direction of the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 can be changed. The player can be informed.

  The light emitting decoration in the door frame 5 in this embodiment will be described in more detail. In this example, the LEDs 214a, 214b, 214c, 216a, 216b, 254a, 254b, 256a, 256b, 286a, 286b, 320a, 322a, 430b, and 432d are further subdivided corresponding to the control system in the groups 102, 103, 104, 106, 107, 108, and 109 to which they belong. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60, the 20 LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a belonging to the first annular group 102 are 102a to 102j for each of the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a of the side lenses 210 and 250, respectively. The 26 LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a belonging to the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems of 103a to 103j for each of the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a of the side lenses 210, 250. It has been.

  The 20 LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b belonging to the radial group 104 are divided into 8 systems 104a to 104h for each of the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250. Also, the two LEDs 214c belonging to the upper right side group 105 are divided into two systems, an upper side 105a and a lower side 105b. Further, the six LEDs 286a belonging to the upper center group 106 are divided into three systems, a lower portion 106a, an upper right portion 106b, and an upper left portion 106c. The six LEDs 286b belonging to the upper central side group 107 are divided into two systems, a right side 107a and a left side 107b.

  Further, the twelve LEDs 320a and 322a belonging to the lower group 108 are divided into four systems 108a to 108d, three by three from the right side when viewed from the front. The five LEDs 430b and 432d belonging to the operation group 109 include four LEDs 430b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 arranged diagonally across the pressing operation unit 405, and a pair of left and right 109a and front and rear 109b. The two LEDs, one LED 432c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405, is divided into three systems. Thus, in the door frame 5 of this example, each LED 214a, 214b, 214c, 216a, 216b, 254a, 254b, 256a, 256b, 286a, 286b, 320a, 322a, 430b, 432d is divided into 42 systems. ing.

  Meanwhile, in the door frame 5, as described above, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a, 286a, 320a, 322a, and 432d are full-color LEDs, and the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a, 286a, 320a, 322a, The 28 systems 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, and 109c to which 432d belongs are further provided with three independent RGB systems in order to emit full color, and 3 in actual light emission control. It has doubled 84 systems. The LEDs 286b and 430b are high-intensity white LEDs, and the four systems 107a, 107b, 109a and 109b to which the LEDs 286b and 430b belong require a large amount of current to emit light with high luminance. Two systems are connected to each other. In actual light emission control, the number of systems is doubled to 8 systems.

  The LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b are white LEDs having normal luminance, and belong to the eight systems 104a to 108h. The LED 214c is a red LED and belongs to the two systems 105a and 105b. The ten systems 104a to 108h, 105a, and 105b by these LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b, and 214c can be sufficiently controlled by each system, so that there are ten systems of the same number in actual light emission control.

  Therefore, the actual number of systems in the light emission control in the door frame 5 is 102 systems, and each LED 214a, 214b, 214c, 216a, 216b, 254a, 254b, 256a, 256b, 286a, 286b, 320a, 322a, For each system to which 430b and 432d belong, lighting / flashing is controlled by dynamic lighting, and gradation (color and brightness) is controlled by PWM control (pulse width modulation control). . As a result, a rich light-emitting effect can be achieved.

  As the lighting effect in the door frame 5, for example, light is emitted sequentially from the first annular group 102 to the second annular group 103 (sequential light emission of the same color or similar color) to spread outwardly around the gaming window 101. Light emission effect, or conversely, light emission effect that converges from the outside toward the gaming window 101 by emitting light sequentially from the second annular group 103 to the first annular group 102 (sequential light emission of the same color or similar color), Alternatively, the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 can emit light at the same time, so that a light-emitting effect or the like can be performed so that the entire outer periphery of the gaming window 101 emits light widely.

  In addition, by coordinating with the LEDs (detailed illustration is omitted) provided on the front surface of the game board 4 and the front unit 2000, the LEDs of the game board 4 and the LEDs of the first annular group 102 close to the game window 101 are provided. With the LEDs of the second annular group 103 arranged outside the first annular group 102, it becomes possible to provide a more expressive light-emitting effect, which can attract the player's interest strongly, It is possible to prevent the entertainment from deteriorating by delighting the player.

  Moreover, in the 1st cyclic | annular group 102, the 2nd cyclic | annular group 103, and the lower group 108, light circulates the outer periphery of the game window 101 by light-emitting each system | strain 102a-102j, 103a-103j, 108a-108d suitably. Such as a light emission effect, or light moving toward the central lens 282 of the upper decoration unit 280 along the outer periphery of the gaming window 101, or light from the central lens 282 along the outer periphery of the gaming window 101. It is possible to produce a light emission effect that moves. In this example, the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j in the circumferential direction (10 divisions). However, the present invention is not limited to this. If it is divided into about 8 systems (about 8 divisions), it is possible to perform a light emission effect such that light circulates around the outer periphery of the gaming window 101.

  Further, by emitting light only from the radial group 104, a light emission effect is produced in which the light is emitted radially around the gaming window 101, or the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, and the lower group 108 are emitted simultaneously with the radial group 104. To produce a light emission effect that causes the entire outer periphery of the gaming window 101 to emit light substantially uniformly, or to cause the radial group 104 to emit light (light on / flash) while the first annular group 102 or the second annular group 103 emits light. It is possible to perform a light emitting effect that gives an accent to the light emitting decoration. Further, by emitting light individually from each of the systems 104a to 104h of the radial group 104, it is possible to produce a light emission effect such that the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b circulate.

  Further, the central lens 282 as a whole emits light by simultaneously emitting light from the respective systems 106a to 106c of the upper central group 106, and light is rotated in the central lens 282 by sequentially emitting light from each of the systems 106a to 106c. Light emission effects can be performed. Further, the upper center side group 105 emits light so that the side lens 284 and the lower lens 289 are illuminated and decorated with high brightness, and the player has an opportunity and a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit gaming state, a probable game) State, short-time gaming state, short-time gaming state when probability change, etc.) can be performed. The lower lens 289 is arranged so as to irradiate light from the player's head toward the player, so that the player can easily notice the light emission of the high-brightness LED 286b. .

  Furthermore, the dial operation unit 401 can emit light by decorating the front edge of the upper plate 301 by appropriately emitting light from each of the systems 108a to 108d of the lower group 108 or by emitting light in association with the operation group 109. Or a light-emitting effect that prompts the user to operate the pressing operation unit 405. In addition, the system 109a, 109b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 in the operation group 109 is appropriately caused to emit light so as to prompt the operation of the dial operation unit 401 or guide the rotational operation direction of the dial operation unit 401. can do. Further, by causing the system 109c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation group 109 to emit light, it is possible to perform a light emitting effect that prompts the operation of the pressing operation unit 405.

  Since the system 109c of the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, the upper central group 106, the lower group 108, and the operation group 109 is a full color LED, each group 102, 103, 106, 108, It is possible to produce a lighting effect with different gradations such as luminescent color and brightness for each 109 or for each system 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, 109c. A rich lighting effect can be performed.

  Thus, in the door frame 5 of this example, in the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit 240, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a corresponding to the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a are the first close to the gaming window 101. Since the ring group 102 and the second ring group 103 far from the game window 101 outside the first ring group 102 can be made to emit light, a plurality of outsides of the game window 101 (game area 1100) are arranged. The pachinko machine can be decorated in a substantially concentric circle shape, and the light surrounding the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 can produce a light emitting effect that is not available in conventional pachinko machines, and attracts the player's attention strongly. 1 can be set.

  In addition, one peripheral lens portion 210a, 250a is provided with two systems of LEDs arranged in a substantially concentric circle, and even if the appearance looks like one, each LED of the two systems can emit light. Since the light emission decoration can be made substantially concentrically, it is difficult to imagine the aspect of the light emission decoration from the appearance, and the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a (the right side decoration unit 200 and the left side decoration unit) by the light emission decoration can be made. 240) can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention strongly by increasing the impact of the light emitting decoration can be obtained.

  Furthermore, LEDs 214b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 216b, 254b, 256b, and LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103, which are divided in the circumferential direction by LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b and arranged substantially concentrically. Therefore, the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 can be decorated in a plurality of rings by causing the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 to emit light according to the gaming state. And I have never seen it on a pachinko machine so far It is possible to show the cormorants Do not light-emitting decoration to the player, can be a pachinko machine 1 attracted is strong interest in the player.

  Further, the annular first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 constituted by the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a of the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, and 256 in the door frame 5 are arranged substantially concentrically (FIG. 60). So that the light converges toward the gaming window 101, that is, the gaming area 1100 by emitting light in the order of the second annular group 103 and the first annular group 102 from the outside to the inside. And can make the player's interest to the gaming area 1100, and can make it seem that there is something good in the gaming area 1100, which increases the expectation of the game. It can suppress that interest falls. Furthermore, by emitting light in the order of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 from the inside to the outside, it is possible to perform a light-emitting effect that spreads outward from the game window 101, that is, the game area 1100. It is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that there is something good for the light-emitting effect spreading to the player, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest in the game from decreasing.

  Furthermore, since the above-described light-emitting effects can be performed outside the game window 101 (game area 1100), not only a player who plays with the pachinko machine 1 but also the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The player in the game hall can also show the above-mentioned light-emitting effects, attract the interest of other players, and make it easier to select the pachinko machine 1 as a pachinko machine to play. Can do.

  In addition, the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b of the radial group 104 that are radially arranged so as to divide the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 that extend in the circumferential direction in the circumferential direction. Since it is possible to divide the annular luminous decoration by the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 in the circumferential direction by causing these radial groups 104 to emit light, it is possible to add an accent to the luminous decoration, The player's interest can be strongly attracted by changes in the light-emitting decoration. Further, the radial groups 104 arranged in a radial direction cause the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 to correspond to the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a of the side lenses 210, 250 in the circumferential direction. Since the LEDs 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j are divided, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a corresponding to the respective peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a are caused to emit light independently for each of the systems 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j. Thus, it is possible to perform a light emission effect in which light moves in the circumferential direction. By providing a variety of light emission effects, the pachinko machine 1 that does not get tired can be obtained.

  Further, the side lenses 210 and 250 are provided with peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a corresponding to the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a and 256a, and radiation lens portions 210b and 250b corresponding to the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b and 256b. Compared with the case where the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b are included in the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and integrated, the appearance of the side lenses 210 and 250 can be changed, so Even when the lighting decoration is not performed, the design of the appearance of the side lenses 210 and 250 can be improved, and the pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention can be obtained. Even if the side lenses 210 and 250 are divided into the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b, the annularly arranged LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a and the radially arranged LEDs 214b and 216b are arranged. , 254b, and 256b in the same light emission mode, it is possible to make an illusion that the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b are integrated, and the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 is integrated. Thus, the light emitting decoration can be performed in a ring shape, and the above-described effects can be sufficiently achieved.

  Further, the LEDs 214a of the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 that are partitioned in the circumferential direction by LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b arranged radially on one peripheral lens portion 210a and 250a in the side lenses 210 and 250. , 216a, 254a, and 256a, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a corresponding to the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 are caused to emit light even if the appearance is single. Therefore, it is possible to make the light emission decoration substantially concentrically, so that it is difficult to imagine the aspect of the light emission decoration from the appearance, the change of the side lenses 210 and 250 due to the light emission decoration can be increased, and the light emission Increase the impact of decoration and attract players' attention It can be pachinko machine 1 to be kicked.

  Furthermore, the side inner lenses 212, 250 irradiate the side lenses 210, 250 by diffusing light from the decoration substrates 214, 216, 254, 256 between the side lenses 210, 250 and the decoration substrates 214, 216, 254, 256. 252 is provided, so that unevenness in the light emitting decoration of the side lenses 210 and 250 can be suppressed, the appearance of the light emitting decoration can be improved, and the LEDs 214a, 216a, Even if 254a and 256a are used, the side lenses 210 and 250 can be decorated with light emission in a planar shape, so that a light emitting body that emits light in a linear shape (for example, a cold cathode tube (fluorescent tube), a neon tube, an organic EL, etc.) As compared with the case where the LED is used, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a are individually made to emit light, thereby allowing the first annular group 1 to emit light. 2 and the second annular group 103 can also change the light emission in the circumferential direction, can present more various light emission effects, and suppress the decrease in the interest of the player due to difficulty in getting bored. In addition, the pachinko machine 1 can attract the player's interest.

  Further, since the light can be diffused by the side inner lenses 212 and 252, even if the transparency of the side lenses 210 and 250 is increased, the rear side of the side inner lenses 212 and 252 is caused by random refraction in the side inner lenses 212 and 252. The decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256 placed on the player can be hard to see, and the decorative boards 214, 216, 254, 256, etc. can be seen directly from the player side and prevent the appearance from deteriorating. Can do.

  Furthermore, the light from the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b is guided by the light guide portions 212b and 252b of the side inner lenses 212 and 252 to irradiate the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250. The light from the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b can be reliably guided to the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b to be decorated with light emission, so that the pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-described effects can be realized. Further, the light guide portions 212b and 252b of the side inner lenses 212 and 252 ensure the radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250 even if the distance between the side lenses 210 and 250 and the LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b is long. Since the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 irradiate the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a of the side lenses 210 and 250 widely with the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103, sufficient space between the side lenses 210 and 250 is sufficient. The LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b arranged radially can be mounted on the same substrate as the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a in which space is secured, and the configuration related to the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified.

  Further, the side decorative frames 202 and 242 surround the outer periphery of the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a and the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250. It is possible to reduce as much as possible that the light from the portions 210b and 250b or the light from the radiating lens portions 210b and 250b affects the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a, and the light emitting decorations interfere with each other. It is possible to prevent the appearance of the light emission.

  The award ball apparatus 740 of this example has a payout motor when a payout command from the main control board 4100, a loan command from the CR unit 6 or the like is input to the payout control board 4110, or the ball removal switch 860b is operated. 744 rotates so that a predetermined number of game balls can be paid out to the player side (upper plate 301) or discharged to the game hall side (rear side of the pachinko machine 1). When the rotation shaft 744 a of the payout motor 744 is driven to rotate, the first gear 745 fixed to the rotation shaft 744 a rotates, and at the same time, the second gear 746 that meshes with the first gear 745 rotates, and further the second gear 746. Is rotated. The third gear 747 has a payout rotator 748 on the front side and a rotation detection board 749 on the rear side so as to be integrally rotatable. The payout rotator 748 and the rotation detection board 749 are fixed together with the third gear 747. It is designed to rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 78, in the prize ball device 740, a payout rotating body 748 is rotatably supported at the approximate center of the distribution space 741b. When the payout rotating body 748 is rotated counterclockwise by the payout motor 744, the game balls in the supply passage 741a are paid out toward the prize ball passage 741c, and the payout rotation The game balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side by the rotation of the body 748 are counted one by one by the counting sensor 751 and then delivered to the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. On the other hand, when the dispensing rotator 748 is rotated clockwise by the dispensing motor 744, the game balls in the supply passage 741a are dispensed to the ball extraction passage 741d, and the dispensing rotator 748 is disposed. The game balls paid out to the side of the ball extraction passage 741d are discharged from the lower end of the ball extraction passage 741d into a ball extraction passage 778 of a full tank sorting unit 770 described later, a main body frame base ball extraction passage 622 of the main body frame base 600, a substrate unit. It can be discharged outside the rear side of the pachinko machine 1 through the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810 in 800 and the discharge passage 842 of the power supply board box holder 840.

  Note that the unit base 741 in the prize ball apparatus 740 of this example is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and even when assembled in the main body frame 3, the award is given from the front side of the main body frame 3 through the transparent prize ball base 710. The insides of the supply passage 741a, the distribution space 741b, the prize ball passage 741c, the ball removal passage 741d, etc. of the ball device 740 can be visually recognized, and defects such as ball clogging can be easily found. .

  Next, the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 74, 75, and 79. The full tank sorting unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 is attached to the lower end of the prize ball base 710 and guides the game balls paid out to the prize ball path 741c side of the prize ball unit 740 to the dish unit 300. In addition, when the game ball is full in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300, the game ball can be distributed to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 so as to be paid out.

  The full tank branching unit 770 is fixed to the rear surface of the lower end of the prize ball base 710 at the upper part of the rear end and the latching part 770a latched to the attachment latching part 716 of the prize ball base 710 at the substantially upper center in the front-rear direction. Fixing portion 770b. The full tank branching unit 770 is suspended from the mounting locking portion 716 by locking the locking portion 770a to the mounting locking portion 716 of the prize ball base 710 from the rear side. By fixing the fixing portion 770b to the 710 with a predetermined screw, the full tank branching unit 770 can be attached and fixed to the lower end of the prize ball base 710.

  Further, as shown in the figure, the full tank branching unit 770 is formed in a box shape that becomes lower as it goes from the rear end to the front end, and opens upward at a substantially horizontal center in the upper part of the rear end. A prize ball receiving port 771 for receiving a game ball flowing down the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710 and a branch space 772 arranged below the prize ball receiving port 771 and extending in the left-right direction (see FIG. 79). And a normal passage 773 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball from directly under the prize ball receiving port 771 to the front side in the branch space 772, and a game ball that has circulated through the normal passage 773 forward and the front end of the front end. A normal ball outlet 774 opened at the right end of the view and a full passage 775 (see FIG. 79) that guides the game ball toward the front side from a position on the right side of the rear view rather than just below the prize ball receiving port 771 in the branch space 772. A), a fill-up passage 775 game ball that has flowed through the discharge forward a full sphere outlet 776 which opens in a front view the left side of the normal ball outlet 774, a.

  Further, the full tank branching unit 770 has a ball outlet 777 that opens upward at the left end of the rear end upper part when viewed from the front and receives the game ball flowing down the ball extraction passage 741d of the prize ball device 740, A ball extraction passage 778 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball received at the opening 777 to the front side, and a game ball flowing through the ball extraction passage 778 is discharged forward, and a normal ball outlet 774 and And a ball outlet 779 opened at a position behind the full tank outlet 776.

  When the full tank branching unit 770 of the present example is in a state in which the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank outlet 776 are respectively the first foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5. The game ball released from the normal ball outlet 774 passes through the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 and communicates with the ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c. The game balls supplied to the upper plate 301 and discharged from the full tank outlet 776 are supplied to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 through the second ball inlet 542c of the foul cover unit 540. The ball outlet 779 is formed so as to communicate with the upper right side of the main body frame base ball outlet passage 622 in the main body frame base 600 so that the game ball released from the ball outlet 779 is released from the main body frame base 600. It is delivered to the main body frame base ball extraction passage 622.

  The full tank branching unit 770 is configured such that a game ball delivered to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball device 740 is received at the prize ball receiving port 771 via the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. In the normal state, the game ball that has entered the prize ball receiving port 771 hangs down the branch space 772 and flows down into the normal passage 773 arranged immediately below the prize ball receiving port 771. The game ball that has flowed into the normal passage 773 enters the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 from the normal outlet 774, passes through the first ball passage 542b, and passes through the first ball outlet 544a to the top of the dish unit 300. It will be supplied to the plate 301.

  By the way, when the game ball is further paid out from the prize ball unit 700 (the prize ball device 740) in a state where the upper plate 301 of the dish unit 300 is full of game balls, the first ball exit of the foul cover unit 540 is provided. The game balls that can no longer come out from the 544a toward the upper plate 301 stagnate in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540 and eventually fill up the normal passage 773 upstream through the normal ball outlet 774 in the full tank branching unit 770. become. In this state, the game ball that has entered the branch space 772 from the prize ball receiving port 771 cannot enter the normal passage 773, starts to move laterally in the branch space 772, and moves laterally. A game ball enters into the full tank passage 775 and passes from the full tank exit 776 to the bottom of the dish unit 300 through the second ball entrance 542c, the second ball passage 542d, and the second ball exit 544b of the foul cover unit 540. It is supplied to the dish 302.

  The full tank branch unit 770 of the present example is formed entirely of a transparent synthetic resin so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, foreign matter such as dust and debris that has entered the full tank branch unit 770, the occurrence of clogging, etc. can be easily found without disassembling the full tank branch unit 7700. .

  In this way, the full tank branching unit 770 of this example automatically plays the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 until the game balls are full in the upper plate 301 until the game balls are full. Since the upper plate is full like the conventional pachinko machine, the game ball is not supplied to the ball hitting device by operating the ball pulling button on the upper plate. It is possible to avoid interruption of game ball driving, and it is possible to eliminate the annoyance during the game and suppress the interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, as described above, the full tank branching unit 770 of this example branches the path of the game ball to be paid out immediately below the prize ball device 740, that is, at the rear part of the pachinko machine 1, when the upper plate 301 becomes full. Since the game ball staying in the normal passage 773 of the full tank branching unit 770 is paid out to the upper plate 301, the game ball in the upper plate 301 and the game ball in the normal passage 773 are used as a ball hitting device. A game ball that can be directly struck by 650, and the storage amount of the game ball in the upper plate 301 is substantially the sum of the capacity of the upper plate 301 and the capacity of the normal passage 773. That is, even if the capacity of the upper plate 301 is made smaller than the capacity of the upper plate in the conventional pachinko machine, the capacity of the normal passage 773 is added, so that the same amount of game balls as in the conventional case are stored in the upper plate 301. Can do. Accordingly, by reducing the size of the upper plate 301, the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 can be relatively enlarged (widened), and the pachinko machine 1 having a wider gaming area 1100 can be obtained. The pachinko machine 1 can be made highly appealing to the player, and the player can be entertained by the wide game area 1100.

  Furthermore, since the two normal ball outlets 774 and the full tank ball outlets 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 are arranged side by side on the left and right sides, the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray (the first inlet) Even when there is only one ball inlet 542a and second ball inlet 542c), the game ball can be sent to the door frame 5 side without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branching unit 770). Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be made to be able to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game ball (full tank branching unit 770) in the main body frame 3. And it can suppress that the cost concerning the lineup of the pachinko machine 1 provided with the door frame 5 from which the number of storage dishes differs is increased.

  In addition, as described above, even if the number of storage trays provided in the door frame 5 is changed, it can be handled without changing the main body frame 3, so that the entire pachinko machine 1 according to the change of the door frame 5 is achieved. Thus, various pachinko machines 1 can be provided at low cost.

  Furthermore, a game ball sent from the normal ball outlet 774 to the door frame 5 side through the normal passage 773 is preferentially driven into the game area 1100, and the door frame 5 having only one storage tray. Even if it is exchanged, the game ball paid out from the prize ball device 740 can be immediately sent to the storage tray through the normal passage 773 and the normal ball outlet 774, so the time lag from payout to storage can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player due to a lack of game balls for driving, and to sufficiently cope with the door frame 5 having a different number of storage trays. .

  In addition, as long as the upper plate 301 is not full, the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 are sent to the upper plate 301, so that the frequency of transferring the game balls stored in the lower plate 302 to the upper plate 301 is reduced. This makes it possible to devote the player to a game ball driving operation and the like, and to suppress the player's interest in games from being reduced.

  Even if the normal sphere outlet 774 and the full sphere outlet 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 are arranged side by side and the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray, the first sphere The position of the lower end of the receiving port corresponding to the inlet 542a and the like can be set to the same height as the first ball inlet 542a and the like corresponding to the upper plate 301 of the door frame 5 provided with two storage plates. It becomes possible to avoid the depth becoming shallower, the storage tray can be deepened to secure a sufficient amount of game balls, and the game can be played without frequently worrying about the amount of storage for the player. Can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the main body frame 3 side, and the cost for changing the model of the pachinko machine 1 and the like increases. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the position where the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branching unit 770 branches from the normal passage 773 is branched at a position as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, and the upper plate 301 is filled with game balls. Even if the game ball can no longer come out from the normal ball exit 774, the amount of game balls stored in the normal passage 773 from the normal ball exit 774 to the branch position of the full tank passage 775 is increased as much as possible. The amount of substantial game balls stored in the upper plate 301 can be increased as much as possible. In addition, in the case where only one storage tray is provided in the door frame 5, even if the storage tray becomes full of game balls and the game balls can no longer come out from the normal ball exit 773 or the full tank exit 776, Since the position where the full tank path 775 branches from the normal path 773 is arranged as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, many game balls are provided not only in the normal path 773 but also in the full tank path 775. Can be stored, and the substantial amount of game balls stored in the storage tray can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, even if the number of storage trays provided on the door frame 5 side is different, the storage amount of the game balls in each door frame 5 is maximized without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branching unit 770). The pachinko machine 1 can be increased to a limit and can sufficiently cope with different door frames 5.

  In addition, the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 are wide enough to allow game balls to circulate in a plurality of rows, and the stopping amount (reserved amount) of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 is determined. Since it can be increased, even if the number of storage dishes provided in the door frame 5 is different, it is possible to prevent the substantial storage amount of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 from decreasing. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 that can correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game balls in the main body frame 3 can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the inside of the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 can be visually recognized from the outside by forming the full tank branch unit 770 with transparent resin, the game ball is clogged in the full tank branch unit 770 and a problem occurs. In this case, it is possible to easily find the place where the ball is clogged from the outside of the full tank branching unit 770, and it is possible to solve the problem at an early stage and increase the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1.

This launching power supply board box 830 accommodates various electronic components attached to the launching power supply board 831, and heat from the electronic parts etc. through slits 830a formed on the upper and lower surfaces. Can be released to the outside.

  This launching power supply board box 830 is detached from above into an accommodation recess opened upward by a box accommodation part 816 of the board unit base 810 and a front box accommodation part 844 of a power supply board box holder 840 described later. It is designed to be accommodated as possible. Thereby, in the state where the main body frame 3 is assembled, if a problem occurs in the launch power supply board box 830, the launch power supply board box 830 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3 to be replaced or repaired. (See FIG. 63).

  Further, the launch power supply board box 830 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 89, the launch power supply board 831 includes a DC / DC converter 831a and an electrolytic capacitor SC0 for charging and discharging power from the DC / DC converter 831a. The combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is supplied to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 and driven. This launching power supply board box 830 is formed with slits 830a as heat dissipation holes on the upper and lower surfaces in order to release the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 mounted on the launching power supply board 831 to the outside. ing.

  In addition, since the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the launch power supply board 831 is an electronic component that is more easily damaged by heat than the DC / DC converter 831a, the side surface of the launch power supply board box 830 on which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is disposed is provided as a heat dissipation hole. A slit 830a is formed. Further, the launching power supply board box 830 has a partition wall 830b that divides the internal space into two spaces, a space for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a and a space for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0. And the bottom inner wall are integrally formed from the bottom surface to the end opening edge. Accordingly, when the launch power supply board 831 is attached to the end opening of the launch power supply board box 830 and the internal space of the launch power supply board box 830 is closed, the internal space of the launch power supply board box 830 accommodates the electrolytic capacitor SC0 by the partition wall 830b. Two spaces, an accommodation space 830c for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a, and an accommodation space 830c for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0 are formed. , Functioning as a heat insulating wall that blocks heat from entering and exiting the housing space 830d for housing the DC / DC converter 831a.

  The heat in the accommodation space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is a slit as a heat radiation hole formed in each of the upper surface, the side surface, and the lower surface communicating the accommodation space 830c with the outside air. By being discharged to the outside via 830a, the released heat can be prevented from entering the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 from being transmitted to the DC / DC converter 831a. Further, the heat in the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a is a heat radiation hole formed in the upper surface and the lower surface that communicate the accommodation space 830d with the outside air, respectively. As a result, the released heat can be prevented from entering the storage space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is stored. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a from being transmitted to the electrolytic capacitor SC0.

  In the present embodiment, the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating a combined current that flows to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 are not provided on the power board 851, but are fired separately from the power board 851. By providing the power supply board 831, the size of the launch power supply board 831 can be made smaller than the size of the power supply board 851. Therefore, it becomes easy to handle by reducing the size of the launch power supply substrate 831 and the replacement work of the launch power supply substrate 831 is facilitated, which contributes to shortening the time spent for the replacement work. In this replacement operation, the launch power supply board box 830 can be exchanged in a state where the launch power supply board 831 remains attached to the end opening of the launch power supply board box 830, that is, the launch power supply board box 830.

  Further, even if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operated and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches the end of its life and the driving firing by the launching solenoid 654 suddenly becomes impossible to launch and the game has to be interrupted, the replacement work of the firing power supply board 831 is not performed. By being able to do easily, the interruption of the game can be eliminated at an early stage. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the impossibility of firing due to the life of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 very easily, and it is possible to eliminate the interruption of the game due to the impossibility of firing at an early stage and resume the game, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  It should be noted that the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply substrate 831 deteriorates and reaches the end of life due to repeated charging and discharging, for example, at a frequency of 100 times per minute every time driving firing by the firing solenoid 654 is performed. On the other hand, the power supply board 851 creates a DC power supply from the AC power supply of an island facility such as a game hall, but is not repeatedly charged and discharged at the same frequency as the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the launch power supply board 831. Compared with the launch power supply substrate 831, its lifetime is extremely long. In other words, the fired power supply board 831 reaches the end of its life due to deterioration associated with charging / discharging of the electrolytic capacitor SC0, while the power supply board 851 reaches the end of its life due to secular change. The DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating the merged current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 are not provided on the power supply board 851, but are provided on the launch power supply board 831 separate from the power supply board 851. Thus, electronic components accompanying long-term aging can be concentrated on the power supply board 851. As a result, it is possible to prevent the electronic component accompanying a long-life change over time from being replaced together with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 having a short life.

  In addition, since the firing power supply substrate 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for controlling the hitting ball launching device 650 can be detached from the front side through the game board holding port 601 for holding the game board 4, it has a capacity for changing the driving characteristics. Even if an attempt is made to change the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to a different one, it is necessary to remove the game board 4 held in the game board holding port 601 in order to remove the launch power board 831 and it is difficult to replace the launch power board 831. It is possible to prevent fraud, and it is possible to suppress fraud that deliberately changes the driving strength of the launch power supply substrate 831 that has been tampered with and optimized, and to make fraud difficult. A pachinko machine 1 that can prevent a player who has been frustrated from developing into a fraud such as a fraudulent act can be provided.

  In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 can be exchanged so as to be removable, even if an unauthorized operation is performed on the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the launch power supply board 831, the launch power supply board 831 can be replaced immediately and the unauthorized use can be made. It can be eliminated, and the interruption period of the game can be shortened as much as possible, and it is possible to eliminate the feeling of irritation or disappointment due to the interruption of the game at an early stage. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game of the player.

  Furthermore, the launch power supply board 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 in the launch controller 4120 that controls the hitting ball launcher 650 is detachable from the front side through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3 holding the game board 4. When the game board 4 is replaced due to a model change or the like, the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) of the launch control unit 4120 can be easily replaced, so it matches the concept of the new model to be replaced. Replacing the launching power supply board 831 equipped with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and the DC / DC converter 831a capable of realizing the driving characteristics makes it possible to change the driving characteristics of the hitting ball launcher 650 previously provided in the main body frame 3 to a new game. It can be matched to board 4. Therefore, it is possible to easily match the driving characteristics of the game ball with the concept of the game board 4, so that the game with the new model of the game board 4 can be fully enjoyed, and the interest of the player is reduced. can do.

  In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 of the launch control unit 4120 can be detached from the front side, when replacing the launch power supply board 831, there is no need to open the main body frame 3 for island facilities such as a game hall, It is possible to simplify the time and labor required for exchange, and it is possible to exchange in a short time, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side. Further, since the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) can be exchanged so as to be removable, the driving characteristics are changed as compared with the case where the entire launch control unit 4120 (dispensing control board 4110) is exchanged. Cost can be reduced, and the burden on the hall side can be reduced.

  Furthermore, when changing the model etc., only the game board 4 is replaced so that the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 can be used as they are. When the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the launching power supply board 831 deteriorates, as described above, the launching power supply board box 830 can be easily replaced from the front side. The problem can be resolved, the game interruption period can be shortened as much as possible, and it is possible to quickly eliminate irritation or disappointment due to the game interruption. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, the launch power board 831 (launch power board box 830) is supported through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the launch power board 831 is held in the game board holding port 601 for detachment. Since it is necessary to remove the game board 4, even if a tool for performing an illegal act enters the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the illegal tool reaches the launch power supply board 831 by the game board 4. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 can be prevented from performing an illegal act on the launch power supply substrate 831 and has a high defense against the illegal act.

  Further, the launch power supply board box 830 is supported through the game board holding port 601, and the position where the launch power supply board box 830 is supported is more rearward than the front surface of the main body frame 3. A space for supporting the board box 830 can be easily secured, and the pachinko machine 1 that supports the launch power board box 830 and exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

  Further, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is provided in the firing power supply board 831. Since the firing power supply board 831 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3, power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654. Even if the load on the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes large and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is likely to deteriorate, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 (launching power supply substrate 831) can be easily replaced, and the malfunction can be solved at an early stage to interrupt the game. The time can be shortened as much as possible, and the pachinko machine 1 that reliably exhibits the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, the power supply board box holder 840 in the board unit 800 receives a game ball that is opened upward and discharged from the out ball discharge portion 1161 of the game board 4 to the lower left side of the left and right center in front view. A discharge ball receiving portion 841, a discharge passage 842 that guides and discharges the game balls received by the discharge ball receiving portion 841 downward, and the front side of the discharge passage 842 and the discharge ball receiving portion 841 (right side in front view) The front box housing portion 843 that is open forward and upward and can accommodate the rear side of the launch power board box 830, and the entire rear surface of the power board box holder 840 are formed so as to be recessed forward. A rear box accommodating portion 844 that can be accommodated.

  In the power supply board box holder 840, the opened front end side of the discharge passage 842 is closed by the rear surface of the board unit base 810, and the opening 812 of the board unit base 810 is located at a desired position to the discharge passage 842. The rear side of the substrate unit base 810 passes through the opening 812 of the substrate base unit 810 through the main body frame base ball passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 of the main body frame base 600. The game ball that has flowed down and the game ball that has been discharged from the out-ball discharge unit 1161 of the game board 4 and received by the discharge ball receiving unit 841, which will be described in detail later, pass through the discharge passage 842 to the lower rear side of the pachinko machine 1. Can be discharged.

  The power supply board box holder 840 is formed at a position corresponding to the box accommodation part 816 of the board unit base 810, and the box accommodation part 816 and the front box accommodation part 843 accommodate the emission power supply board box 830. A recess can be formed.

  Furthermore, the power supply board box 850 in the board unit 800 is formed in a horizontally long box shape with the front open, and includes a power supply board 851 attached so as to close the front end opening. The power supply board box 850 accommodates various electronic components attached to the power supply board 851, and externally transfers heat from the electronic parts and the like through a plurality of slits 850a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. Can be released. As shown in FIG. 86, a power switch 852 attached to the power supply board 851 faces the rear surface of the power supply board box 850.

  The power supply board box 850 is a standing wall that protrudes rearward along the lower side of the opening where the power supply terminal 853 (see FIGS. 84 and 86) attached to the lower side of the power switch 852 in the power supply board 851 faces the rear side. The wiring cord 854 can be inserted between the portion 850b, the protruding portion 850c projecting rearward from both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, and the outer periphery of the power supply board box 850 disposed on the front side and the lower side of the standing wall portion 850b. And a wiring guide portion 850d that forms a large gap. Although not shown in detail, the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply board 851 has a locking piece to be locked with the locking claw of the connector terminal 855, and the locking claw and the locking piece. And the connector terminal 855 is prevented from being detached from the power supply terminal 853.

  As shown in FIG. 87, the power board box 850 has a standing wall 850b slightly behind the rear end of the connector terminal 855 in a state where the connector terminal 855 of the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power terminal 853 of the power board 851. It is formed so as to protrude. In the power supply board box 850 of this example, the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 of the power supply board 851 in a state where the wiring cord 854 is turned from the lower front side of the power supply board box 850 to the rear end so as to be hooked to the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b. A terminal 855 is connected.

  By the way, when the connector terminal where the wiring cord extends is connected to the connection terminal attached to the board, and then the wiring cord is pulled to the board side, the connector terminal is connected by the tension from the wiring cord. Since it is in a state of being pressed against the terminal side, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove the connector terminal from the connection terminal. However, according to the power supply board box 850 of this example, the front end side of the wiring cord 854 (the side opposite to the connector terminal 855 side connected to the power supply terminal 853) is directed to the power supply board 851 side (front side with respect to the main body frame 3). Even when pulled, the wiring cord 854 is routed around the connector terminal 855 so as to be turned back (turned back) from the connector terminal 855 by the standing wall portion 850b protruding rearward from the connector terminal 855. It is possible to prevent a force from pressing the terminal 855 toward the power supply terminal 853 side, and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power supply terminal 853 can be easily removed.

  Further, since the power supply board box 850 includes the protruding portions 850c protruding rearward on both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, even if the wiring cord 854 slides along the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, The protrusions 850c provided at both ends can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and the wiring cord 854 can be prevented from coming off the standing wall portion 850b.

  Further, by inserting the wiring cord 854 into the wiring guide portion 850d of the power supply board box 850, the wiring cord 854 folded back by the standing wall portion 850b can be moved toward the standing wall portion 850b, so that the wiring cord 854 is drawn from the standing wall portion 850b. Since the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b and the wiring cord 854 can be immediately moved to the standing wall portion 850b side by the wiring guide portion 850d, a series of operations are continuously performed. This can be performed, and the work process related to assembly can be simplified.

  The power supply board box 850 and the power supply board holder 840 are formed so that the dimensions in the front-rear direction in the assembled state are substantially the same as the dimensions in the front-rear direction of the speaker box 820. When attached, the rear surface of the power supply board box 850 and the rear surface of the speaker box 820 are substantially flush with each other.

  Further, in this example, the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 facing from the opening of the power supply board box 850 that covers the power supply board 851, and then the connector is connected by the standing wall portion 850b protruding rearward from the rear end of the connector terminal 855. Since the wiring cord 854 extending from the rear end of the terminal 855 is folded back, the tension applied to the connector terminal 855 when the wiring cord 854 is pulled is connected to the power supply terminal whose connection is fixed by a locking claw or the like. The connector terminal 855 can be prevented from being disconnected by the wiring cord 854 and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power terminal 853 of the power board 851 can be prevented. Can be easily removed, and maintenance such as substrate replacement can be easily performed.

  In addition, the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply board box 850, and the bending of the wiring cord 854 can be loosened as compared with the case where there is no standing wall portion 850b. It is possible to prevent an unreasonable force from acting on the 854 itself, and it is possible to prevent the wiring cord 854 from being disconnected due to the unreasonable force and causing a failure.

  Further, a standing wall portion 850b is provided in the vicinity of the opening of the power supply board box 850 facing the power supply terminal 853, and the standing wall portion 850b is positioned adjacent to the power supply terminal 853, so that it is connected to the power supply terminal 853. The wiring cord 854 extending from the connector terminal 855 can be extended to the rear side as straight as possible with respect to the connector terminal 855, and the joint between the connector terminal 855 and the wiring cord 854 is broken. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a force from acting and to prevent problems such as disconnection.

  Further, since the power supply board box 850 that covers the power supply board 851 is provided with the standing wall portion 850b, it is not necessary to provide the power supply board 851 with the standing wall portion 850b, and the assembly work of the power supply board 851 can be facilitated. . In addition, since the power supply board 851 is covered with the power supply board box 850, dust and dirt that cause a failure can be prevented from adhering to the power supply board 851 and mounted on the power supply board 851. It is possible to make it difficult to touch or replace electronic components (for example, resistors, capacitors, transistors, ICs, CPUs, memories, etc.) and to increase the defense against fraud. It has become.

  In addition, the direction in which the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 in the power supply board 851 is substantially perpendicular to the board surface (front-rear direction), and the connector terminal is connected to the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply board 851. Since the force applied when connecting or removing the 855 can be easily applied to the surface of the power supply substrate 851, it is possible to prevent the shearing force from acting on the lead portion of the power supply terminal 853. Can be prevented from being energized and causing a failure of energization or the power supply terminal 853 being detached from the power supply board 851, and the pachinko machine 1 that is less prone to malfunction can be obtained.

  Further, since the connection between the connector terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 is fixed by the fixing means using the locking claw and the locking piece, the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b so that the wiring cord 854 is Even if a force is applied to the connector terminal 855 in such a direction as to release the connection with the power supply terminal 853, the connection between the connector terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 can be prevented from being released. Connection between the terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 can be reliably maintained to prevent problems such as poor contact and poor energization.

  Further, since the projections 850c projecting rearward are provided at both ends of the rear end where the wiring cord 854 in the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply board box 850 is folded back, the wiring cord 854 is folded back at the standing wall portion 850b. Even if it slides along the side, the projection 850c provided at both ends of the side can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and the wiring cord 854 can be prevented from coming off the standing wall 850b. The pachinko machine 1 that reliably prevents the above-described effects can be realized.

  Further, since the wiring cord 854 folded back at the standing wall portion 850b is moved toward the standing wall portion 850b by the wiring guide portion 850d provided in the power supply board box 850, the wiring cord 854 is not easily detached from the standing wall portion 850b. In addition, the above-described effects can be surely achieved, and the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b, and then the wiring cord 854 is immediately moved toward the standing wall portion 850b by the wiring guide portion 850d. Thus, a series of operations can be performed continuously, and the work process related to assembly can be simplified to prevent an increase in cost.

  Next, assembly of the lock device 1000 of this embodiment will be described. To assemble the lock device 1000, the upper hook member 1051 and the lower hook member 1052 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are connected by a connecting wire rod 1053, and the guide projection of the door frame sliding rod 1040 in that state is connected. The piece 1043 is inserted into the protruding piece moving holes 1056 and 1064 of the upper hook member 1051 and the lower hook member 1052, and the rivet elongated holes 1042 and the rivet elongated holes 1055 and 1061 are aligned and overlapped. In the combined state, the hook portion 1054 of the upper hook member 1051 and the hook portion 1065 of the lower hook member 1052 are passed through the hook penetration opening 1002 of the U-shaped base body 1001, and the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the main body frame slide are inserted. After inserting the pallet 1050 into the U-shaped space of the U-shaped base 1001, the rivet 1006 is inserted through the insertion hole 1005.

  When the rivet 1006 is inserted, the rivet 1006 is inserted so as to pass through the rivet long holes 1055, 1061, 1042. When the lowermost rivet 1006 is inserted, it is necessary to insert the rivet 1006 into the swing shaft hole 1025 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and attach the first fraud prevention member 1023 to the U-shaped base 1001 at the same time. Further, before attaching the first tamper-proof member 1023 to the U-shaped base 1001, the first tamper-proof member 1023 and the second tamper-proof member 1032 are connected by the connecting pin 1034, and the guide pin 1028 is connected to the pin hole It is necessary to insert the guide pin 1028 into the opening at the lowermost end of the insertion vertical opening 1020 after it is fixed at 1029 with a screw (not shown).

  Furthermore, with the rivet 1006, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are housed and fixed in the U-shaped base 1001, and the spring 1048 is spanned between the spring hook portions 1046 and 1057, The frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are biased in opposite directions, and the spring 1035 is stretched over the spring locking piece 1021 and the spring locking hole 1036 to prevent the second fraud. It is assumed that the member 1032 is in contact with the restriction protrusion 1031. Thereafter, the cylindrical body portion of the cylinder lock 1010 is inserted into the lock insertion hole 1009 of the lock attachment piece 1008, and the cylinder lock 1010 is fixed to the attachment hole 1014 with a screw 1012.

  In order to attach the assembled locking device 1000 to the back surface of the main body frame base 600 in this way, the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 is inserted into the door hook hole 620 formed in the main body frame base 600. While being inserted, the locking protrusion 1004 protruding in a bowl shape is inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621 of the main body frame base 600 and moved upward, and in this state, the screw fixing portion 1003 protruding in the horizontal direction is provided. The lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the back surface of the main body frame base 600 by matching the lock mounting portion 625 and screwing a screw (not shown) into the matched hole. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, the locking protrusion 1004 constituting the locking structure of the front portion is formed to protrude from the side surface 1001a that does not contact the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base 1001, while the rear portion is fixed. Since the screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the structure is formed so as to project in the horizontal direction from the side surface 1001b that contacts the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base body 1001, the front locking structure contacts the peripheral wall portion 605. Compared with the case where it is formed on the side surface 1001b, the locking device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so as not to be loose.

  Next, the operation of the locking device 1000 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. As shown in FIG. 96, when the main body frame base 600 (main body frame 3) is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 and the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. Further, the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are locked, and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the door frame 5 The hook cover 165 is locked. In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engagement protrusion 1017 of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the first engagement protrusion 1017 engages with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 to depress the lower hook member 1052 downward against the urging force of the spring 1048, and is connected thereto. The connected connecting rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 are also pushed down and lowered. As a result, the locking state between the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 is released, and the main body frame 3 is removed by pulling the main body frame 3 to the front side. The frame 2 can be opened.

  When the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054 and 1065 are lifted by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lifted position as in the state shown in FIG. 96A). , 1065 is inclined downward toward the outer side, so that the upper side inclined portion of the hook portions 1054, 1065 is formed on the closing plates 24, 25 by forcibly pressing the main body frame 3 against the outer frame 2. Since it contacts the lower end, the main body frame sliding rod 1050 descends downward, and the upward claw portions of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 are locked again, thereby sliding the main body frame. The hook 1050 is raised and returned to the locked state.

  On the other hand, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the second engagement protrusion 1018 of the engagement cam 1016 rotates in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the two engaging protrusions 1018 engages with the ascending engagement hole 1045 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and pushes the door frame sliding rod 1040 upwardly against the urging force of the spring 1048. For this reason, the hook state 165 of the door frame 5 and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 are released from the locked state. The main frame 3 can be opened.

  When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lowered position as in the state shown in FIG. 96A). Since the lower side of the hook part 1041 for the door is inclined upward toward the outside, the lower side inclined part of the hook part 1041 for the door frame is hooked to the hook cover 165 by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3. The door frame sliding rod 1040 is raised upward, and the downward claw portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 and the hook cover 165 are re-engaged with each other. The pail 1040 descends and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding rod 1040 according to the present embodiment is formed to have a length substantially the same as the full length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the vertical side surface of the main body frame 3. The door frame hook portion 1041 that is attached over the entire length and is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three locations of the upper end portion, the center portion, and the lower end portion of the door frame sliding rod 1040. Therefore, it is possible to securely lock the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 in the entire length in the vertical direction, and forcibly open the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and insert an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire from the inside. The act cannot be performed.

  Thus, the locking device 1000 of the door frame 3 of this embodiment releases the locking of the main body frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 by rotating the key inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 in one direction, and in the other direction. The door frame 5 can be unlocked with respect to the main body frame 3 by rotating. Further, the locking device 1000 of this example performs an illegal act of hooking a piano wire or the like on the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and lowering it without inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010. Can not be. The first structure for preventing such fraud is a lock mechanism composed of a first fraud prevention member 1023 and a second fraud prevention member 1032, and the second fraud prevention structure is a U-shaped base 1001. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are accommodated in the closed space.

  First, the operation of the lock mechanism, which is the first fraud prevention structure, will be described with reference to FIG. First, in a state where the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 97A, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 contact It has become a state. In this state, the first fraud prevention member 1023 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 1035 so that the stopper piece 1027 enters the fraud prevention notch 1007 and the stopper piece 1027 is intrusion prevention 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. As a result, even if the piano frame 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 properly unlocked by inserting a 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 also moves so as to be retracted from the tamper-proof notch 1007. As a result, 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 hooked state of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is released from the outer frame 2. Can be done.

  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, so 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 plate 25 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. 97 (A) is obtained. Thereby, 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 (main body frame base 600), the internal The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 provided in the housing are housed in the closed space of the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, and are completely covered. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to pull down the body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 by inserting a piano wire or the like, both side surfaces 1001a, 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001 Since the intruder is prevented from entering the closed space, the structure is such that it is not possible to easily perform the illegal act.

  As described above, the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment has the sliding frame 1040 for the door frame in the inside of the U-shaped base 1001 whose width is extremely thin as compared with the conventional lock device concentrated on the L-shaped base. The body frame sliding rod 1050 is slidably provided and the cylinder lock 1010 for operating the locking device 1000 is attached to the U-shaped base 1001 at a position below the lower end side of the game board 4. 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 is placed on the back side of the main body frame 3. Can be attached firmly.

  Moreover, since the open side of the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so that the open side of the U-shaped cross section faces the back surface of the main body frame 3, The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered by the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, respectively. It is impossible to easily perform an illegal act such as pulling down a body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside by inserting a piano wire or the like.

  Further, when the locking device 1000 is attached, the locking protrusions 1004 formed at the upper, middle, and lower portions of the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621. The structure is such that 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 portion 625 with screws. With this structure, the lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600).

  In the locking device 1000 of this example, the screw fixing portion 1003 formed in the lock mounting piece 1008 and the upper portion of the cylinder lock through hole 611 of the main body frame 3 as a structure for fixing the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 with screws.

A piece 952b, a middle piece 952c extending along the front end piece 952b from the side piece 952a so as to form a predetermined amount of clearance on the rear side of the front end piece 952b, and extending inward from the rear end of the side piece 952a in a substantially perpendicular direction. And a rear end piece 952d. Thus, the front end of the security side plate 950 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens inward (open side) by the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c.

  Further, the side security plate 950 (main body 952) has the strength and rigidity of the side security plate 950 by the front end piece 952b, the middle piece 952c, and the rear end piece 952d arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side plate piece 952a. The strength of the main body frame 3 is increased and the game board 4 and the door frame 5 can be favorably supported.

  On the other hand, the reinforcement unit 150 of the door frame 5 is formed in a frame shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 using spot welding, rivets, or the like, as described above. The shaft support side reinforcing sheet metal 152 on the shaft support side is provided with a shaft support side U-shaped projecting piece 166 having a substantially U-shaped cross section opened outward (the shaft support side). In the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 of the reinforcing unit 150, the strength of the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is further increased by the support-side U-shaped projecting piece 166, and the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is difficult to bend. .

  By the way, in this example, since the door frame 5 is attached and supported only at the upper and lower points of the upper shaft support portion 156 and the lower shaft support portion 158 with respect to the main body frame 3, the door frame 5 on the shaft support side. If an unauthorized tool such as a screwdriver or a bar is inserted between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is deformed, and the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 is increased. There is a risk of cheating. On the other hand, in the security structure of this example, when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c formed inside the front end of the security side face plate 950 are provided. A rear piece of a pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 formed in a substantially U-shape of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame 5 is inserted (enters), and the front end piece 952a is pivotally supported. The side U-shaped projecting piece 166 is sandwiched. Accordingly, even if the door frame 5 is forcibly opened with respect to the main body frame 3, the shaft-supporting U-shaped projecting piece 166 of the door frame 5 comes into contact with the rear surface side of the front end piece 952 b of the main body frame 3. Since the pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 can be prevented from moving in a direction away from the main body frame 3, the closed door frame 5 can be prevented from being opened, and the main body frame can be prevented. It is possible to prevent a fraudulent act such as opening the door frame 5 with respect to 3.

  In addition, since the security side plate 950 formed of metal in the main body frame 3 and the reinforcing unit 150 formed of metal in the door frame 5 are fitted, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is set. Since the strength and rigidity of the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 can be made difficult to be distorted by an unauthorized tool, the crime prevention performance can be improved.

  Further, since the rear end of the side piece 952a in the security side plate 950 extends rearward from the game panel 1150 in the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952a is assumed. Even if the player is destroyed, an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire cannot be entered from the rear end of the side piece 952a into the game area 1100 on the front surface of the game board 4 (game panel 1150). Can be surely prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 106, since the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact with the outside of the security side plate 950, the pachinko machine 1 has a robust side surface. It can be fully countered against the destruction of the.

  Subsequently, as a crime prevention structure from the rear side in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 107, a prize ball base 710, a tank rail 731 and a prize ball device 740 in the main body frame 3 for housing the game board 4 are provided. Since the unit base 741, the full tank branch unit 770, and the back cover 900 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin, the gaming board 4 Even if it is not removed from the main body frame 3 or the back cover 900 is not opened, it can be viewed from the rear side of the main body frame 3. As a result, even if an unauthorized device is attached to the rear side of the game board 4 or the like, it can be easily discovered and illegal acts can be prevented. Further, since it is possible to easily find an unauthorized device or the like attached to the game board 4 from the outside, it is possible to hesitate to attach an unauthorized device, and it is possible to increase deterrence against unauthorized acts. ing.

  In addition, since the rear side and the side surface of the game board 4 can be visually recognized from the rear side of the main body frame 3 through the transparent prize base 710, the back cover 900, etc., the main body frame can be used for maintenance and model change. When the game board 4 is attached to or detached from the board 3, even if tools such as a screwdriver or pliers, cleaning waste, dust or dirt remain between the main body frame 3 and the game board 4, remove them. Therefore, it is possible to prevent any trouble from occurring, and to improve the maintainability of the pachinko machine 1.

[2. Detailed configuration of game board]

  As shown in FIG. 119 (b), the projector main body 2152 of the projector unit 2150 is arranged at the rear of the main body and can radiate light forward (in this example, a high-intensity white LED is used). And a plurality of lens groups 2157 disposed on the front side of the light source unit 2156, and an image film 2158 on which an image to be projected that is disposed at a predetermined position in the lens group 2157 is depicted. The projector unit 2150 can project the image depicted on the image film 2158 onto an object positioned in the projection range in front of the projector unit 2150 by causing the light source unit 2156 to emit light. ing.

  In this example, the optical axes of the left and right projector units 2150R and 2510L do not cross each other, and images can be projected at different positions. In this example, the optical axis of the projector unit 2150 is set so that an image is projected onto the projection region TR from both shoulders to both chests for a player seated in a normal state on the front side of the pachinko machine 1. (See FIG. 120).

  In this attacker unit 2100, the game balls received in the first starting port 2101 and the four general winning ports 2104 enter the passage hole 3061a and the general discharge passage 3061b of the unit base 3061 in the ball guiding unit 3060 of the back unit 3000 described later. It is supposed to be sent.

  Also, the attacker unit 2100 is discharged downward after the game ball received in the second starting port 2102 is detected by the second starting port sensor 2127 supported by the attacker drive mechanism base 2126. ing. Further, the attacker unit 2100 is configured such that the game ball received in the special winning opening 2103 is discharged downward after being detected by the count sensor 2128.

  In the attacker unit 2100 of the present embodiment, the attacker solenoid 2124 is arranged so that the forward / backward direction of the plunger 2124a is the left / right direction, and the attacker solenoid 2124 is arranged as close to the opening / closing member 2106 as possible. Therefore, the dimension in the front-rear direction of the attacker unit 2100 can be shortened by 5 to 30% compared to the conventional product, and the rear space of the attacker unit 2100 can be secured more widely. .

  In addition, the attacker unit 2100 of this example is configured so that two projector units 2150 allow other pachinko machines arranged on the opposite side of the object (eg, player, game hall) located outside the pachinko machine 1 (game board 4). Machine, wall, etc.) can be projected and displayed, can provide the player with a novel image effect that has not existed in conventional pachinko machines, and attracts the player's attention strongly It is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game, and to entertain the player and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, when the projector unit 2150 of the attacker unit 2100 emits light according to the gaming state, as shown in FIG. 120, a predetermined image is projected and displayed on the projection area TR from the shoulder to the arm and chest of the player. However, since it is a position that is not directly noticeable by the player, a player who does not know the light emitting effect by the projector unit 2150 does not notice even if the effect by the projector unit 2150 is started. The game will continue. On the other hand, since the projection area TR is an area from the player's shoulder to the arm, the image projected from the projector unit 2150 is projected onto the front half of the player's shoulder, arm, etc. When viewed from the side, a part of the image projected from the projector unit 2150 can be seen, so that other players can easily notice the effect (coming opportunity) by the projector unit 2150. Therefore, other players than the player himself / herself notice the arrival of the opportunity first, and the people around the player become aware of the light emission effect by the projector unit 2150 for the first time. Therefore, not only a player who plays a game with the pachinko machine 1 but also other players together can increase the expectation of the game, and this pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as a pachinko machine to play. Can be done.

  In addition, since the projector unit 2150 displays an image on the player himself, the player can greatly surprise the player by presenting an image effect that has never been seen on a conventional pachinko machine. While being able to attract strongly with respect to the image etc. which are projected, a player can be entertained by the image etc. which are projected, and it can suppress that the interest with respect to a game falls.

  When a predetermined image is projected and displayed on the player by the projector unit 2150, the light emitting decoration is turned off or reduced in each of the decorative units and the like provided on the door frame 5 and the game board 4. Thus, a part of the player's body located in the projection area TR illuminated by the light emission of the projector unit 2150 is reflected on the glass plate 594 of the glass unit 590 of the door frame 5 and can be seen by the player. This makes it easier to notice the light emission effect by the projector unit 2150, and the effect by the projector unit 2150 can be enjoyed.

  In addition, the object detection means 2530 provided in the center accessory 2500 described later detects the player's seating position, and the projector unit 2150 (2150L or 2150R) corresponding to the player's seating position emits light. The predetermined image may be projected onto the player with certainty.

  Further, when the projector unit 2150 in the attacker unit 2100 detects an illegal act, the light source unit 2156 emits light.

  The first branch port 2574 of the distribution guide member 2570 has the right end as the left end of the branch guide shelf 2573 and the left end as the left end of the branch port shelf 2576, and the opening width (width in the left-right direction) is a game. The width is twice to three times the outer diameter of the sphere. The second branch port 2575 of the distribution guide member 2570 has an opening that is slightly wider (eg, 0.5 mm to 1 mm) than the outer diameter of the game ball. In comparison, it is difficult for game balls to enter. The second branch port 2575 has a lower end disposed at a position slightly above the top surface of the branch port shelf 2576 and is disposed so as to form a step with the branch port shelf 2576. Accordingly, even if the game ball rolls on the branch port shelf 2576 toward the second branch port 2575, the game ball does not easily enter the second branch port 2575 by contacting the step.

  The branch opening shelf 2576 of the distribution guide member 2570 is formed to be shorter than the width of the first branch opening 3574, and the lower side of the right end is the upper end of the second big winning opening 2552 in front view. Further, in the first flow path 2577 of the flow guide member 2570, a second opening / closing member 2553 is rotatably disposed at a position substantially immediately below the right end of the branch port shelf 2576, and the second opening / closing member 2553 is rotated clockwise. The first discharge port 2578 is closed by the second opening / closing member 2553 when it is rotated in the direction of (2) and is laid down (the second big prize opening 2552 is in the open state). That is, when the second grand prize opening 2552 is in the open state, the game ball that has entered the first branch opening 2574 is guided to the second big prize opening 2552 by the second opening / closing member 2553 and is not released from the first discharge opening 2578. It is like that.

  In this example, a part of the distribution guide member 2570 and the second attacker cover 2557 are formed to be transparent, so that the inside of the second game area 2551 can be viewed from the outside (player side). ing. Further, in this example, the second count sensor 2556 is arranged on the upstream side of the discharge port 2555 in the large inlet flow path 2579 of the flow guide member 2570.

  In this example, the second attacker unit 2550 decelerates the game ball flowing down along the right outer periphery of the peripheral wall portion 2503 of the center accessory 2500 once in the deceleration flow path 2572 and then moves leftward by the branch guide shelf 2573. It is designed to guide the movement. In the second attacker unit 2550, on the left side of the branch guide shelf 2573, a first branch port 2574 that can communicate with the second grand prize port 2552 and a second branch port 2575 that does not communicate with the second grand prize port 2552 are opened. The game ball that is rolled and released from the branch guide shelf 2573 enters which branch port 2574, 2575, so that the player can be excited and entertained. It has become.

  When the game ball released from the branch guide shelf 2573 enters the second branch port 2575, the game ball is released from the second discharge port 2581 into the game area 1100 through the second flow path 2580. As described above, since the size of the second branch port 2575 is only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball, most of the game balls released from the branch guide shelf 2573 are directed to the second branch port 2575. It does not enter, but enters the first branch port 2574.

  On the other hand, when the game ball released from the branch guide shelf 2573 enters the first branch port 2574, the game ball is sent to the first flow path 2577. When the second opening / closing member 2553 is raised and the second big prize opening 2552 is in the closed state, the game ball sent to the first flow path 2577 is not received by the second big prize opening 2552, but at the lower end. It is discharged from the opened first discharge port 2578 into the game area 1100. On the other hand, when the second opening / closing member 2553 rotates in the clockwise direction in front view and the second big prize opening 2552 is in the open state, the game ball sent to the first flow path 2577 is It is guided to the upper surface of the member 2553 and received in the second big prize opening 2552, flows through the big incoming flow path 2579, is detected by the second count sensor 2556, and is then discharged out of the game areas 1100 and 2551 from the outlet 2555. It will be. In addition, when the second opening / closing member 2553 is in the open position, the first opening 2578 is closed by the second opening / closing member 2553, so that the second opening / closing member 2553 is sent to the first flow path 2577 through the first branch port 2574. A game ball is received in the second grand prize opening 2552. Note that, depending on the timing at which the second opening / closing member 2553 performs an opening / closing operation, even if a game ball enters the first branch port 2574, it is not accepted into the second big winning port 2552, and the game area 1100 is released from the first discharge port 2578. May be released into.

  Thus, according to the second attacker unit 2550 of the center accessory 2500, when the second opening / closing member 2553 rotates to the open position and the second big prize opening 2552 is in the open state, the peripheral wall of the center accessory 2500 When the game ball enters between the right outer periphery of the portion 2503 and the inner periphery of the game area 1100, the game ball is received through the first branch port 2574 and the first flow path 2577 to the second grand prize winning port 2552, so it is easy. The game ball can be awarded to the second grand prize opening 2552 by a simple driving operation, so that even a player who is not familiar with the pachinko machine 1 can easily enjoy it.

  Further, according to the second attacker unit 2550, the game ball is guided by the wall-shaped flow path by the distribution guide member 2570 in the second game area 2551 where the second big prize opening 2552 is arranged. Since the game ball is not guided by the nail, the guidance direction of the game ball is changed by tilting the obstacle nail due to the contact of the game ball or the like, and the probability of receiving the second big prize opening 2552 is changed. Can be reliably avoided, and the initial state can be maintained for a long period of time, so that the player can be fully entertained.

  As shown in FIGS. 165 and 166, the forearm unit 3350 in the arm unit 3250 has a predetermined amount of deviation from the second rotation shaft 3351a and the second rotation shaft 3351a extending backward from a predetermined position on the base end side. A plate-like forearm base 3351 having a transmission pin 3351b extending rearward at the centered position and rotatably supporting the distal end side of the link member 3312, and attached to the front side of the forearm base 3351 and the front surface And a forearm decorative body 3352 simulating the forearm of a predetermined character. In the forearm base 3351 of the forearm unit 3350, the transmission pin 3351b is disposed at a position obliquely lower left from the second rotation shaft 3351a in the rear view. The forearm decorative body 3352 is formed to have translucency.

  The forearm unit 3350 is disposed between the forearm decoration body 3352 and the forearm base 3351 and disposed between the forearm decoration board 3353 and the forearm decoration body 3352 having a plurality of LEDs mounted on the front surface. And a diffusing lens member 3354 for diffusing the light from the LEDs of the forearm decorative board 3353. The forearm unit 3350 irradiates the forearm decoration body 3352 with light from the LED of the forearm decoration board 3353 widely diffused by the diffusing lens member 3354, so that the entire forearm decoration body 3352 is substantially uniform. It can be brightly decorated.

  The transmission pin 3351b of the forearm unit 3350 is inserted into a slit 3301c extending in an arc shape of the upper arm base 3301 in the upper arm unit 3300, and a disc-shaped end member is attached to the rear end. Thus, the slit 3301c cannot be removed. The forearm unit 3350 rotates only within the range of the slit 3301c of the upper arm base 3301 extending in an arc shape around the axis of the second rotation shaft 3351a.

[2-10C. Arm unit movement]
Next, the movement of the arm unit 3250 in the back and rear movable production unit 3200 will be described. As shown in FIG. 167 (a) and the like, the arm unit 3250 of the present example is in a state where the arm unit 3250 is moved to the rightmost in the front view by the arm slide unit 3210 (the state of the origin position). Further, in the normal state, the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 of the arm unit 3250 extend in a substantially horizontal direction, and the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 overlap each other in front view. It is in a state. In other words, in a normal state, the upper arm unit 3300 extends in a substantially horizontal direction (in the storage position state), and the forearm unit 3350 overlaps with the upper arm unit 3300 (in the storage position state). ing. As a result, the arm unit 3250 can hardly be visually recognized from the player side. Although details will be described later, in this normal position state, the lock pin 3315 of the upper arm unit 3300 in the arm unit 3250 is locked (locked) to the locking piece 3401e of the unit base 3401 in the back upper front movable effect unit 3400. In this state, the upper arm unit 3300 cannot be rotated in the standby position direction (counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front).

  First, the movement by the arm slide unit 3210 will be described. As described above, when the drive gear 3218 is rotated in an appropriate direction (in this example, a clockwise direction in the front view) by the arm slide drive motor 3219 of the arm slide unit 3210 from a normal state, the drive gear 3218 The rotation is transmitted to the pinion gear 3214 through the transmission gear 3217, the second transmission gear 3216, and the first transmission gear 3215. The rotation of the pinion gear 3214 causes the slider 3213 to move left and right via the rack gear 3213a meshed with the pinion gear 3214. It will slide in the direction (in this example, left direction when viewed from the front).

  When the slider 3213 of the arm slide unit 3210 slides, the arm unit 3250 attached to the front surface of the slider 3213 also slides together, and the entire arm unit 3250 is slid in the left-right direction (left direction) from the origin position. (See FIG. 167 (b)). Even if the arm unit 3250 is slid in the left-right direction by the arm slide unit 3210 in a state where the upper arm unit 3300 (upper arm decoration body 3304) and the forearm unit 3350 (forearm decoration body 3352) overlap with each other, The arm unit 3250 is hardly visible from the player side.

  When the arm unit 3210 that has been slid leftward from the origin position is returned to the origin position, the arm unit 3210 is rotated via the slider 3213 by rotating the arm slide drive motor 3219 in the opposite direction. The whole can be slid rightward in a front view, and can be returned to the original position.

  Next, the movement of the upper arm unit 3300 by the arm unit 3250 will be described. From the normal state where the upper arm unit 3300 of the arm unit 3250 extends substantially in the horizontal direction (in the storage position), the upper gear drive motor 3254 moves the drive gear 3255 in a predetermined direction (in this example, a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front). , The rotation of the drive gear 3255 is transmitted to the upper arm drive gear 3302 of the upper arm unit 3300 via the transmission gear 3256, and the upper arm unit 3300 as a whole along with the upper arm drive gear 3302 is centered about the first rotation shaft 3252. It will rotate so that the side may move downward (appearance position side).

  In this example, a transmission gear 3256 is disposed between the drive gear 3255 and the upper arm drive gear 3302, and the rotation from the upper arm drive motor 3254 is transmitted to the upper arm drive gear 3302 while being decelerated by the transmission gear 3256. It has come to be. That is, the transmission gear 3256 is interposed so that the rotational torque of the upper arm drive motor 3254 is amplified and transmitted to the upper arm drive gear 3302 (upper arm unit 3300). The load applied to the drive motor 3254 can be suppressed.

  Further, in this example, the upper arm unit 3300 can be rotated within an angle range of about 90 degrees from the state of the substantially horizontal storage position to the state of the standby position hanging substantially vertically. (See FIG. 174 (c)). Further, the forearm unit 3350 is rotated about the first rotation shaft 3252 together with the upper arm unit 3300 by the drive of the upper arm drive motor 3254.

  When the upper arm unit 3300 is rotated from the storage position where the upper arm unit 3300 extends substantially horizontally to the appearance position where the distal end side is lowered below the base end side, the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 moves to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900, It is visible from the player side. When the upper arm unit 3300 is rotated in the direction of the appearance position while the forearm unit 3350 is overlapped with the upper arm unit 3300, what is actually seen from the player side is not the tip side of the upper arm unit 3300. The proximal end side of the forearm unit 3350 is visible, and most of the upper arm unit 3300 is hidden by the forearm unit 3350.

  When the upper arm unit 3300 is returned to the storage position from the state where the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 in the arm unit 3250 is located lower than the proximal end side (appearance position state), the upper arm drive motor 3254 is moved in the opposite direction to the above. By rotating the upper arm unit 3300, the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 can be rotated upward, and the upper arm unit 3300 can be returned to the storage position.

  Next, the movement of the forearm unit 3350 in the arm unit 3250 will be described. As shown in FIG. 168 (a), when the forearm unit 3350 extends in a substantially horizontal direction and overlaps the upper arm unit 3300 (normal state), the forearm unit 3350 is rotatably supported by the weight of the forearm unit 3350. A rotational moment that moves the front end side of the forearm unit 3350 downward (rotates clockwise in a front view) about the second rotation shaft 3351a acts on the forearm unit 3350. Then, due to the rotational moment acting on the forearm unit 3350, the crank pin 3311b is moved in the direction of the transmission pin 3351b to the crank pin 3311b of the transmission rotating body 3311 via the link member 3312 connected to the transmission pin 3351b of the forearm unit 3350. A pulling force will act.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 168 (a), when the forearm unit 3350 overlaps the upper arm unit 3300 (in the storage position), the crank pin 3311b in the transmission rotating body 3311 is connected to the center of the crank pin 3311b and the transmission pin 3351b. The axis connecting the center of the transmission rotator 3311 is located above the center of the transmission rotator 3311 (a position slightly revolved to one side), and the restricting projection 3301d contacts one end of the slit 3311c of the transmission rotator 3311. It is in contact. In this state, when a pulling force is exerted on the crank pin 3311b of the transmission rotating body 3311 by the rotational moment applied to the forearm unit 3350, the crank pin 3311b is counterclockwise as a direction approaching the transmission pin 3351b. However, since the restricting projection 3301d is in contact with one end of the slit 3311c of the transmission rotator 3311, the transmission rotator 3311 is further rotated counterclockwise. The crankpin 3311b continues to stop in the current state without revolving. Therefore, in the state where the forearm unit 3350 is in the retracted position, even if the rotational moment applied to the forearm unit 3350 acts on the crankpin 3311b via the link member 3312, the crankpin 3311b does not revolve and the transmission rotating body 3311 rotates. The forearm unit 3350 does not rotate naturally.

  Then, the arm unit 3250 of this example moves the drive gear 3308 in an appropriate direction (in this example, the front face) by the forearm drive motor 3307 attached to the upper arm unit 3300 from the storage position where the forearm unit 3350 overlaps the upper arm unit 3300. When rotating in the counterclockwise direction as viewed), the rotation of the drive gear 3308 is transmitted to the drive gear portion 3311a via the driven gear 3309 and the transmission gear 3310, and the transmission rotator 3311 having the drive gear portion 3311a is transmitted. The crank pin 3311b provided on the transmission rotating body 3311 rotates and revolves at a predetermined radius around the axis of the transmission rotating body 3311. The base end side of the link member 3312 whose front end is pivotally supported by the transmission pin 3351b of the forearm unit 3350 is pivotally supported by the crankpin 3311b, and the crankpin 3311b revolves to transmit via the link member 3312. The pin 3351b revolves around the axis of the second rotation shaft 3351a, and the forearm unit 3350 rotates in a direction away from the upper arm unit 3300 (direction of the unfolded position, clockwise direction in front view). It becomes.

  As described above, when the forearm unit 3350 is in the retracted position, the revolution position of the crank pin 3311b is the axis line connecting the center of the crank pin 3311b and the center of the transmission pin 3351b. Since the position is slightly revolved to one side (counterclockwise direction) with respect to the center, when the transmission rotating body 3311 is rotated clockwise by the forearm drive motor 3307, the crank pin 3311b and the transmission pin 3351b The crank pin 3311b is pulled through the link member 3312 in the direction of the transmission rotating body 3311 until the axis line connecting the two passes through the center of the transmission rotating body 3311, and the forearm unit 3350 rotates in the second direction. It will rotate counterclockwise around the shaft 3351a. When the crank pin 3311b further rotates in the clockwise direction and the axis connecting the crank pin 3311b and the transmission pin 3351b moves downward from the center of the transmission rotating body 3311, the crank pin 3311b is linked to the link member 3312. Thus, the transmission pin 3351b is pushed away from the transmission rotator 3311, and the forearm unit 3350 is rotated in the clockwise direction around the second rotation shaft 3351a.

  In this example, the forearm unit 3350 can be rotated within a range of about 60 degrees in the clockwise direction from the storage position overlapping the upper arm unit 3300 in a front view.

  Although illustration is omitted, in the back-and-back movable production unit 3200 of this example, the sliding movement of the arm unit 3250 in the left-right direction, the rotation of the upper arm unit 3300, and the rotation of the forearm unit 3350 are independent of each other. Since the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 can be simultaneously rotated, or the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 can be simultaneously rotated, the movement of various patterns can be performed. Can be made to do. Therefore, it is possible to make a more natural movement as a movable effect unit imitating the arm of a predetermined character, and to attract the player's interest strongly.

[2-11. Backward front movable production unit]
Next, the back-up front movable effect unit 3400 in the back unit 3000 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 169 to 173. FIG. 169 is a front perspective view of the front back movable movable effect unit in the back unit, and FIG. 170 is a rear perspective view of the back front movable effect unit. FIG. 171 is an exploded perspective view of the front front movable effect unit disassembled and viewed from the front, and FIG. 172 is an exploded oblique view of the back front front movable effect unit and the rear view. Further, FIG. 173 is an explanatory diagram showing the movement of the front / back front movable effect unit.

  The front back movable effect unit 3400 is disposed on the front side of the back rear rear movable effect unit 3200 and is attached to the front surface of the back box 3001. This back-up front movable production unit 3400 includes a unit base 3401 attached to the front surface of the back box 3001, and a back-up front where the rotary shaft extends forward through the unit base 3401 attached to the rear side of the unit base 3401. Drive motor 3402, drive gear 3403 fixed to the rotation shaft of backside front drive motor 3402 and disposed on the front side of unit base 3401, gear portion 3404a meshing with drive gear 3403, and rotation on the front surface of gear portion 3404a A drive rotating body 3404 having a crank pin 3404b extending forward from a position eccentric from the center and rotatably supported by the unit base 3401, and the crank pin 3404a of the driving rotating body 3404 slide in the left-right direction. The long hole-shaped first slit 3405a and the first slit 3405a are inserted in the positive direction. A pair of slide support shafts 3405b extending rearward from a position on the left side of the view and on the left side of the drive rotator 3404 and supported by the unit base 3401 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and disposed on the left side of the slide support shaft 3405b and in the horizontal direction A second slit 3405c having a long hole extending to the link member 3405 disposed on the front side of the drive rotating body 3404, and slidably inserted into the second slit 3405c of the link member 3405 and extended backward. A transmission pin 3406a and a rotation shaft 3406b disposed at a position on the left side in front of the transmission pin 3406a and rotatably supported by the unit base 3401 are provided, and the side on which the rotation shaft 3406b and the transmission pin 3406a are disposed is based. The back that extends in the predetermined direction as the end and is shaped like a predetermined item And a before and ornamental body 3406, a.

  The unit base 3401 of the front front movable effect unit 3400 is configured such that the upper end extends in the left-right direction and the left side portion of the front view extends from the approximate center in the left-right direction at the upper end to the lower side. The pair of guide rollers 3262 of the arm unit 3250 in the upper rear movable effect unit 3200 can come into contact and roll in the left-right direction. In addition, the unit base 3401 is disposed on the left side of the motor mounting portion 3401a in the front view of the motor mounting portion 3401a and the motor mounting portion 3401a for mounting the rear upper front drive motor 3402 on the rear side of the left end in the rear view. An elongated vertical guide slit 3401b extending in the vertical direction into which the shaft 3405b is slidably inserted, and a rotating shaft 3406b of the front upper decorative body 3406 disposed on the left side of the vertical guide slit 3401b in front view are inserted. And a rotation guide slit 3401d penetrating in an arc shape around the axis of the shaft hole 3401c.

  Further, the unit base 3401 of the front back movable effect unit 3400 includes a locking piece 3401e that is arranged on the left side of the front view of the rotation guide slit 3401d and protrudes leftward. By disposing the lock pin 3315 of the upper arm unit 3300 in the arm unit 3250 of the back / upper rear movable rendering unit 3200 on the upper side of the locking piece 3401e, it is possible to restrict the lock pin 3315 from moving downward. It is possible to lock the unit 3300 from rotating naturally.

  The link member 3405 of the front-back front movable effect unit 3400 has a long slit-shaped first slit 3405a that is formed to have substantially the same length as the revolution radius of the crankpin 3404b in the drive rotating body 3404. In the link member 3405, a pair of slide support shafts 3405 b that are separated in the vertical direction are arranged at positions that are substantially symmetrical with respect to the vertical axis about the axis of the first slit 3405 a that extends in the horizontal direction. Further, the second slit 3405c of the link member 3405 is disposed at a position substantially coaxial with the axis of the first slit 3405a extending in the left-right direction.

  The link member 3405 is supported so as to be slidable in the vertical direction by inserting a pair of slide support shafts 3405b into the vertical guide slit 3401b of the unit base 3401, and is inserted into the first slit 3405a. The crank pin 3404b of the driven rotating body 3404 revolves so as to be slid in the vertical direction. The pair of slide support shafts 3405b in the link member 3405 is slidably inserted into the vertical guide slit 3401b via guide bushes 3407 inserted on both front and rear sides with the unit base 3401 interposed therebetween. .

  The back front decorative body 3406 of the back front movable effect unit 3400 is configured to extend in a predetermined direction, and is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 3401c of the unit base 3401 from the rear surface on the base end side to the rear through the bush 3408. A rotating shaft 3406b extends. Further, when the back upper front decorative body 3406 is extended in the left-right direction so that the base end side is the right side when viewed from the front, the back upper front decorative body 3406 is inclined obliquely to the lower right (about 45 ° axis) with respect to the rotation shaft 3406b. The transmission pin 3406a inserted into the second slit 3405c of the link member 3405 extends backward from the position on the line).

  The back front decorative body 3406 extends rearward from a position opposite to the transmission pin 3406a with the rotation shaft 3406b interposed therebetween, and is a pair of guide pins disposed on the circumference centering on the rotation shaft 3406b. 3406c. The pair of guide pins 3406c of the front front decorative body 3406 is slidably inserted into the rotation guide slit 3401d of the unit base 3401 via the guide bush 3409, and the rotation axis 3406b is the center. As described above, when the back front decorative body 3406 is rotated, the back front front decorative body 3406 is prevented from shaking as much as possible and can be smoothly rotated on the same surface.

  Further, the back front decorative body 3406 includes a detection piece 3406d detected by a back front rotation position detection sensor 3410 attached to the front surface of the unit base 3401. The back front front decorative body 3406 is moved substantially in the left-right direction. At the extended position (storage position), the detection piece 3406d is detected by the back upper front rotation position detection sensor 3410.

  Next, the movement of the back front decorative body 3406 in the back front movable effect unit 3400 will be described. As shown in FIG. 173 (a), the back front decorative body 3406 is in a storage position extending in the left-right direction in a normal state. In this state (storage position state), the back front decorative body 3406 is located above the liquid crystal display device 1900 and hidden behind the center accessory 2500 so that it is hardly visible from the player side.

  Further, when the back upper front decorative body 3406 is in a normal position (storage position), the crank pin 3404b of the drive rotating body 3404 is positioned at the lowest position (bottom dead center). In this state, a rotational moment is generated by the load on the back front decorative body 3406 to rotate the back front front decorative body 3406 in the counterclockwise direction about the rotation shaft 3406b when viewed from the front. Thus, a force is applied to raise the link member 3405 via the transmission pin 3406a. However, since the crank pin 3404b inserted into the first slit 3405a of the link member 3405 is located at the bottom dead center, the transmission rotating body 3404 does not rotate even if an upward force is applied to the crank pin 3404b. Instead, the back front decorative body 3406 keeps the state of the storage position against the rotational moment.

  When the back front decorative body 3406 is in the retracted position, the drive gear 3403 is driven to rotate in a predetermined direction (in this example, counterclockwise in the front view) by the front front drive motor 3402. The drive rotator 3404 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the gear portion 3404a engaged with the crankshaft, and the crank pin 3404b is revolved in the clockwise direction from the position of the bottom dead center. When the crankpin 3404b revolves, the crankpin 3404b rises, and the link member 3405 also rises as the crankpin 3404b rises. When the link member 3405 is lifted, the transmission pin 3406a of the back front decorative body 3406 inserted into the second slit 3405c of the link member 3405 is lifted, and the back front decorative body 3406 is lifted by the lift of the transmission pin 3406a. It rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front with the rotation shaft 3406b as the center.

  When the back front decorative body 3406 rotates counterclockwise, the front end side of the back front decorative body 3406 moves downward, and the front end side of the back front decorative body 3406 is the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900. It will be lowered to be visible from the player side. Then, when the crank pin 3404b of the drive rotator 3404 reaches the uppermost top dead center by the back front drive motor 3402, the rotation drive of the back front drive motor 3402 stops and the rise of the link member 3405 stops. At the same time, the rotation of the front back decorative body 3406 is also stopped.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 173 (b), when the crank pin 3404b is revolved to the top dead center, the back upper front decorative body 3406 is approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise from the retracted position. It is in a rotated state (standby position state).

  In the case where the back front decorative body 3406 is returned from the appearance position where the distal end side is located below the proximal end side to the storage position where the proximal end side and the distal end side are substantially at the same height. By rotating the back front drive unit 3402 in the opposite direction, the link member 3405 can be lowered via the crank pin 3404b of the drive rotating body 3404, and the back front front unit can be lowered by the lowering of the link member 3405. The decorative body 3406 can be rotated clockwise in front view around the rotation shaft 3406b and returned to the storage position.

[2-12. Relationship between the front-back movable production unit and the rear-upper movement production unit]
Next, the relationship between the back and front movable effect unit 3400 and the back and rear movable effect unit 3200 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 174 and 175. FIG. 174 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the back-up front movable effect unit and the back-up rear movable effect unit in the back unit, and FIG. 175 shows the back-up front movable effect unit and the back-up rear movable effect unit following FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows these relationships.

  As shown in FIG. 174 and the like, the relationship between the back-front movable movable effect unit 3400 and the rear-back movable movable effect unit 3200 in the back unit 3000 is as follows. The rear upper front decorative body 3406 of the back upper front movable effect unit 3400, the upper arm unit 3300 (upper arm decorative body 3304) and the forearm unit 3350 (forearm decorative body) of the rear upper rear movable effect unit 3200. 3352) are formed in substantially the same size. The upper arm unit 3300 (upper arm decorative body 3304) and the forearm unit 3350 (forearm decorative body 3352) are in the storage position shown in FIG. 174 (a) in a normal state.

  Also, the back upper front movable effect unit 3400 and the rear upper rear effect unit 3200 are in the normal state (the back upper front decorative body 3406, the upper arm decorative body 3304, and the forearm decorative body 3352 are in the storage position, FIG. ))), The upper arm decorative body 3304 and the forearm decorative body 3352 are almost hidden behind the back upper front decorative body 3406, and the back upper front decorative body positioned above the liquid crystal display device 1900. The upper arm decoration body 3304 and the forearm decoration body 3352 are hidden from the rear side of 3406 and the center accessory 2500 so that the player side hardly sees them. Further, in this normal state, the lock pin 3315 of the forearm unit 3300 in the back rear movable effect unit 3200 abuts on the locking piece 3401e of the unit base 3401 in the back upper front effect unit 3400, and moves downward. Is regulated (locked).

  From this normal state, the arm slide drive motor 3219 of the arm slide unit 3210 in the back-up / down movable effect unit 3200 is driven to slide the arm unit 3250 leftward in a front view, and the upper arm unit 3300 in the arm unit 3250. The lock pin 3315 is moved to a position on the left side of the locking piece 3401e of the unit base 3401 in the back front front movable effect unit 3400 (see FIG. 174 (b)). As a result, the lock pin 3315 can move downward, and the lock is released.

  Subsequently, the front back front drive motor 3402 of the back top front movable effect unit 3400 and the upper arm drive motor 3254 of the back top rear motion effect unit 3200 are driven simultaneously, so that the back top front decoration body 3406 and the upper arm decoration body 3304 ( And the forearm decorative body 3352) are rotated about 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction in front view (see FIG. 174 (c)). In the state of FIG. 174 (c), the back upper front decorative body 3406 and the upper arm decorative body 3304 are both in a standby position (rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise from the storage position). Thus, the upper arm decorative body 3304 and the forearm decorative body 3352 are almost hidden behind the back upper front decorative body 3406.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900, schedule data corresponding to control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010, its control data (display command), and A plurality of corresponding non-resident area transfer schedule data are stored. 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 1900 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 the non-resident area 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 1900 according to the progress of the schedule data.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the top screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010 from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs it to the VDP 4150c, and then the screen data following the top screen data. Extracted from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and output 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 liquid crystal control ROM 4150b one by one from the head screen data, and outputs it to the VDP 4150c.

  When the screen data output from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is input, the VDP 4150c extracts sprite data from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data, and generates drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. The generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, when the VDP 4150c does not accept the screen data from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, the VDP 4150c outputs a running signal indicating that fact to the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a. The VDP 4150c employs a line buffer method. In this “line buffer system”, drawing data for one line for drawing the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in this line buffer is stored in the liquid crystal display device 1900. This is the output method.

  The character ROM 4150d stores a very 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 1900 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150d cannot be ignored, and the drawing speed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is affected. 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” will be described. The “sprite” is an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as a unit. For example, when displaying various persons on the liquid crystal display device 1900, data for drawing each person is referred to as “sprite”. Thus, when a plurality of persons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, 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. These sprites are drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 with the positions arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap (hereinafter referred to as “sprite superposition sequence”) set.

  Note that the sprite is configured 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 liquid crystal display device 1900 repeats the main scanning in which the display state for each pixel is set in one direction along the pixel and the direction crossing the one direction sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front. It is driven by the sub-scan to be performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control unit 4150 is input to the liquid crystal display device 1900, the main scanning is performed sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Output to each pixel. When the output for one line is completed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 shifts to the line immediately below as sub-scanning. Similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, based on the drawing data for the next line. As main scanning, the data are sequentially output to pixels for one line from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900.

The game content in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 196 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the main control board. First, a functional configuration related to game effect control on the main control board 4100 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Note that a functional configuration relating to payout of game balls will be omitted. In the main control board 4100 of this example, various game controls, performance controls, and the like are realized by executing a predetermined program stored in advance in a ROM (not shown) by the main control MPU 4100a. When a game ball detection signal is input from the gate sensor 2402 to the main control board 4100, a normal random number generating means 4200 for generating a predetermined normal random number that is a lottery result for the normal symbol, and the generated normal random number are determined in advance. ROM of main control board 4100 for normal symbol hold storage means 4202 temporarily stored according to the above condition, and normal symbol variation pattern corresponding to the normal lottery result based on the normal random number stored in normal symbol hold storage means 4202 Normal symbol variation pattern selecting means 4204 for selecting from a predetermined normal symbol variation pattern table stored in the normal symbol display control means for variably displaying the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 based on the selected normal symbol variation pattern 4206 and displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 by the normal symbol display control means 4206. When the random number (ordinary lottery result) is “normal hit”, the start opening solenoid 2121 is driven to expand the pair of movable pieces 2105 and the normal symbol hold storage means 4202 is stored. And a normal symbol memory number display control means 4210 for displaying the number of normal symbol random numbers on the normal symbol memory display 1188 as a memory number.

  The normal symbol hold storage unit 4202 described above generates a predetermined number (for example, four) of normal random numbers generated by the detection signal of the game ball from the gate sensor 2402 while the normal symbol display control unit 4206 displays the variation of the normal symbol. ) And the execution of the stored normal random number is suspended until the normal symbol can be displayed in a variable manner.

  The main control board 4100 has a predetermined first lottery result for the first special symbol based on the detection signal detected by the first start port sensor 3022 by the start winning to the first start port 2101. A first special random number generating means 4212 for generating a special random number; a first special symbol holding storage means 4214 for temporarily storing the first special random number generated in the first special random number generating means 4212 according to a predetermined condition; Generated based on the first special lottery result based on the first special random number stored in the first special symbol storage unit 4214 and the detection signal detected by the first start port sensor 3022 by the start winning to the first start port 2101 The first special symbol variation pattern corresponding to the changed random number is selected from a predetermined special symbol variation display pattern table stored in advance in the ROM of the main control board 4100. First special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216 and the first special symbol display unit 1185 variably display the first special symbol based on the first special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216 selected by the first special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216. First special symbol display control means 4218 and first special symbol memory number to be displayed on first special symbol memory display 1184 as the number of first special random numbers stored and stored in first special symbol reservation storage means 4214 Display control means 4220.

  Further, the main control board 4100 has a predetermined second lottery result for the second special symbol based on the detection signal detected by the second start port sensor 2127 by the start winning to the second start port 2102. A second special random number generating means 4222 for generating a special random number; a second special symbol holding storage means 4224 for temporarily storing the second special random number generated in the second special random number generating means 4222 according to a predetermined condition; Generated based on the second special lottery result based on the second special random number stored in the second special symbol storage unit 4224 and the detection signal detected by the second start port sensor 2127 by the start winning to the second start port 2102 The second special symbol variation pattern corresponding to the changed random number is selected from a predetermined special symbol variation display pattern table stored in advance in the ROM of the main control board 4100. Second special symbol variation pattern selection means 4226 and second special symbol display unit 1186 variably displays the second special symbol based on the second special symbol variation pattern selection means 4226 selected by second special symbol variation pattern selection means 4226. Second special symbol display control means 4228 and second special symbol memory number display to display on the second special symbol memory display 1187 the number of the second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 as the stored number Control means 4230.

  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 special random number and the second special random number are triggered by the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3022 and the second start port sensor 2127, respectively. ) And the execution of the stored first special random number and second special random number is suspended until the special symbol can be changed.

  The main control board 4100 receives the first special random number and the second special random number held by the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 for the start winnings 2101 and 2102. Priority reserved digesting means 4231 for executing (digesting) the second special random number in preference to the timing is provided, and the priority reserved digesting means 4231 relates to the second special random number, that is, the second start port 2102. The lottery result hold is prioritized (digested).

  The main control board 4100 also includes a first special random number (first special lottery result) and a second special random number (second special random number) stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224. Advantages of generating a big hit gaming state that is advantageous to the player when the special lottery result based on the special lottery result is “big hit” and generating a small hit gaming state when the special lottery result is “small hit” Based on an instruction from the gaming state generation means 4232 and the advantageous gaming state generation means 4232, the opening / closing member 2106 or the second opening / closing member 2553 for closing the grand prize opening 2103 or the second big prize opening 2552 is opened and closed in a predetermined pattern. And a special winning opening / closing control means 4234 for controlling the driving of the attacker solenoid 2124 or the second attacker solenoid 2561. In this example, the special winning opening opening / closing drive control means 4234, for example, drives the attacker solenoid 2124 when the special lottery result is “big hit”, and drives the second attacker solenoid 2561 when the special lottery result is “small hit”. It comes to drive.

  In addition, the main control board 4100 includes a first special symbol variation pattern table and a second special lottery result according to a special lottery result (first special lottery result, second special lottery result) based on the first special random number or the second special random number. A variation pattern table changing means 4236 for changing the special symbol variation pattern table is further provided. The variation pattern table changing means 4236 changes to a variation pattern table (for example, a variation pattern table in a low probability non-short-time state or a variation pattern table in a high-probability time-short state) according to the gaming state.

  Furthermore, the main control board 4100 has a special lottery result (first special lottery result, second special lottery result) based on the first special random number and the second special random number, the first special lottery result and the variable random number. Based on one special symbol variation pattern, the second special symbol variation pattern according to the second special lottery result and the random number, and the first special symbol memory, the second special symbol memory, etc. Command generating means 4238 for generating a command for use, and command transmitting means 4240 for transmitting the command generated by the command generating means 4238 to the peripheral control unit 4140.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is transparent when the player rotates the handle device 500 arranged 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 1100 arranged on the front surface of the panel 1200. A game ball that has been driven into the upper portion of the game area 1100 flows down in the game area 1100 on the left or right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the strength of the game. It should be noted that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle device 500, and the game ball can be driven harder as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Further, in the game area 1100, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1200 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so The speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

  When the game ball driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 flows down from the left and right sides to the peripheral wall 2503 of the center accessory 2500, the peripheral wall 2503 of the center accessory 2500 lowers the center accessory 2500. You are directed to the left area. Then, when a game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters and passes through the gate portion 2401 of the gate member 2400 disposed on the left side of the center accessory 2500 and is detected by the gate sensor 2402, Accordingly, the main control board 4100 generates a normal random number as a normal lottery result by the normal random number generation means 4200. Based on the normal random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (the normal symbol display 1189 consisting of one LED emits light alternately in red, green and orange), A normal symbol extracted based on a normal random number (normal lottery result) extracted after a predetermined time (for example, between 2 seconds and 30 seconds) is stopped (the normal symbol display 1189 emits light in either red or green). . The normal symbol fluctuation display is performed based on the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selected from a predetermined normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection table in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection means 4204.

  Specifically, if the selected random number is a “normal hit” random number, the normal symbol indicating the winning is stopped (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits green light), and the selected normal random number is a “normal lose” random number. In the case of, stop display is performed with a normal symbol suggesting a loss (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits red light). When the normal symbol indicating the hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of movable pieces 2105 for closing the second start port 2102 is expanded for a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds), A game ball can be awarded to the second starting port 2102.

  Note that the fluctuation time of the normal symbol and the expansion time of the movable piece 2105 at the second start port 2102 may be changed according to the gaming state. For example, when controlled in a non-time-short state Compared to the case where the time-short state is controlled, the fluctuation time may be changed to a short time or the expansion time may be changed to a long time. Specifically, for example, the normal symbol variation pattern table for selecting the normal symbol variation pattern in the normal symbol variation pattern selection means 4204 can be easily changed by replacing the table with a different table for each gaming state. it can.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, an area where a game ball can flow down from the center in the left-right direction is provided on the upper side of the center accessory 2500, but the right side from the center extends along the outer periphery of the game area 1100. After entering the second game area 2551 disposed on the right side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 through the arcuate passage extending downward, the shelf 2601a of the front right movable effect unit 2600 is moved from the first discharge port 2578. Are released to the upper right of the attacker unit 2100 below the stage 2510 in the gaming area 1100 and flow down in the gaming area 1100. As a result, in a normal gaming state, when a game ball enters this area, the game ball is sent to the lower side of the center object 2500 without obtaining an opportunity to enter the gate member 2400 or the warp entrance 2504. As the number decreases, the movement of the game ball becomes less enjoyable.

  Therefore, the player plays the game by appropriately adjusting the amount of rotation of the handle device 500 so that the game ball flows down the left side region from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the center accessory 2500, and strongly strengthens the game ball against the dark clouds. It is possible to suppress the game operation such as driving and entertain the game by the operation of the original handle device 500 of the pachinko machine 1 and prevent the interest from deteriorating. Note that the second game area 2551 can be easily driven into the area on the right side of the center accessory 2500 simply by operating the handle device 500 to be driven strongly without adjusting the rotation amount of the handle device 500 as appropriate. When the second big prize opening 2552 is in the open state, it becomes easy to aim at the second big prize opening 2552, and the second big prize opening 2552 is surely received to entertain the player. Can be done.

  By the way, in this example, when the passing of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2402 while the normal symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 while the normal symbol is variably displayed, the normal symbol that is changing is stopped and the normal symbol generated and extracted first. Until the result of the random number is finalized, the normal random number (including the normal symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2402 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 reservations) is displayed on a normal symbol storage display 1188. This normal symbol memory display 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and the number of LEDs to be lit is suggested by the number of each LED to be lit. In this example, up to four are memorized and displayed. ing. When the number of memories exceeds four, the normal random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2402 is discarded.

  In addition, the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 and has flowed down the left side of the center role 2500 is moved toward the center of the game area 1100 below the center role 2500 by the shelf 2301a of the front left movable effect unit 2300. It is like that. When a game ball wins a general winning opening 2104 arranged below the center bonus 2500 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3071, the main control board 4100 pays out a payout control board 4110 based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is sent to the payout control board 4110 in response to the payout command, and the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 is controlled so that a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls can To be paid out.

  Note that a game ball driven into the game area 1100 does not win any of the general prize opening 2104, the first start opening 2101, the second start opening 2102, the big prize opening 2103, and the second big prize opening 2552. In this case, the game area 1100 is provided at the lower center in the left-right direction and is discharged from the out port 1232 (1151) to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins the general winning port 2104, the first starting port 2101, the second starting port 2102, the big winning port 2103, or the second large winning port 2552, the winning game ball The game board 4 is discharged to the lower rear side without being returned to the area 1100.

  On the other hand, when a game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2504 opened on the left side surface of the center accessory 2500, the game ball is supplied to the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500. Then, the game ball supplied onto the stage 2510 rolls on the stage 2510 in the left-right direction, and is mainly discharged forward from the guide surface 2511 and returned to the game area 1100.

  On the other hand, when a game ball that rolls on the stage 2410 enters the chance entrance 2514 that is opened to the rear side at the approximate center in the left-right direction, the game area 1100 is opened from the chance exit 2515 that is opened directly above the first start port 2101. The first start port 2101 is received with a high probability. When a game ball is received in the first start port 2101 and detected by the first start port sensor 3022, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls from the prize ball device 740 via the main control board 4100 or the like. Is dispensed to the upper plate 301.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the first start port 2101, the second start port 2102, and the big prize opening 2103 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction, so that the game balls released from the stage 2510 are The first start port 2101 and the like are received with a high probability, and when the second start port 2102 and the grand prize winning port 2103 are acceptable, there is a high possibility that the game ball will be received when it is released from the stage 2510. Therefore, not only the first start port 2101 but also the second start port 2102 and the big prize opening 2103 can be expected to have an expectation regarding the acceptance of the game balls, thereby enhancing the interest.

  By the way, when the game ball passes through the gate portion 2401 of the gate member 2400 and is detected by the gate sensor 2402 and “normal hit” is drawn as the normal lottery result, the second start port 2102 is closed as described above. When the pair of movable pieces 2105 expands for a predetermined time to be able to win, and when the winning becomes possible, when the game ball is received by the second start port 2102 and detected by the second start port sensor 2127, the main control is performed. A predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740 via the substrate 4100 or the like.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, when a game ball wins the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3022 and the second start port sensor 2127, the first start is started. At the port 2101, the first special random number generator 4212 generates and extracts a predetermined first special random number. At the second start port 2102, 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, the fluctuation display of the special symbols displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 and second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started and then extracted. The special symbol corresponding to the special random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result.

  In the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests “big hit”, the attacker unit 2100 is in accordance with the mode that suggests “big hit”. A big hit gaming state occurs in which the opening / closing member 2106 or the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is opened / closed in a predetermined pattern, and during that time, a game ball is awarded to the big winning opening 2103 or the second big winning opening 2402. As a result, more game balls can be acquired. In addition, when one game ball wins the grand prize opening 2103 or the second big prize opening 2402, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740. .

  In addition, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 in a manner suggesting “small hit”, the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 has a predetermined pattern. A small hit gaming state that opens and closes at the time of occurrence occurs, and in the meantime, a game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 2103 so that more game balls can be obtained. When a single game ball wins the big prize opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740.

  Note that, in the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 as well, the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display are displayed in the same manner as the normal symbol variation display due to the passage of the game ball to the gate member 2400. When the special symbol is variably displayed on the device 1186 or when the special symbol such as the big hit gaming state cannot be variably displayed, the game ball wins the start opening 2101, 2102 and the first start opening sensor 3022, the second start When it is detected by the mouth sensor 2127, the first special random number extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3022 and the second start port sensor 2127 until the special symbol change display becomes possible. The second special random number is stored in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 or the second special symbol hold storage means 4224, and the display is put on hold. The number of special random numbers, and displays in the first special symbol memory indicator 1184 or the second special symbol memory indicator 1187.

  The first special symbol memory display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187 are each composed of two LEDs, so that the number of memories is suggested by 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 memories exceeds four, the extracted special random number is discarded. The second special random number stored (held) in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 by the priority hold digesting unit 4231 has priority over the first special random number stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214. Are executed (digested). That is, the lottery result hold related to the second start port 2102 and the third start port 2415 is executed (digested) in preference to the lottery result hold related to the first start port 2101.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first special random number extracted based on the detection of the first starting port sensor 3022 and the second starting port sensor 2127 and the special random number of the second special random number are used in a predetermined jackpot determination table. , It is determined whether the special random number is “lost”, “small hit”, or “big hit”, and is detected by the first start port sensor 3022 when the first start port 2101 is started. The first symbol random number extracted on the basis of the detected signal and the second symbol random number extracted on the basis of the detection signal detected by the second start port sensor 2127 by the start winning to the second start port 2102 and the symbol determination table By checking, “big hit” is either “10R big hit” or “15R big hit”, or “probable change short no hit” “probable variable hit”, “short time hit”, “probable change short time” Ri "and the like is adapted to also be determined.

  When the special lottery result based on the first special random number or the second special random number extracted (lottery) triggered by the start winning of the game ball to the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 is “small hit” The main control board 4100 closes the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 in an open state for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds; in this example, approximately 0.5 seconds). The opening / closing pattern is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice).

  On the other hand, when the special lottery result based on the extracted first special random number or second special random number is “big hit”, the main control board 4100 causes the advantageous game state generating means 4232 to open or close the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 or the second attacker. After the second opening / closing member 2553 of the unit 2550 is in an open state, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds for a long time opening, about 0.5 seconds similar to a small hit for a short time opening), or An opening / closing pattern (a single opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) that closes the opening / closing member 2106 when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy the winning prize opening 2103 when any of the winning conditions is satisfied. , And repeats a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds), 10 rounds for “10R big hit”, 15 rounds for “15R big hit”, respectively. , It adapted to generate a favorable jackpot gaming state to the player. After the predetermined number of rounds, for “big hit”, the big hit determination table is exchanged for one of the big hit determination table at the high probability and the big hit determination table at the low probability according to the gaming state determined by the design random number. It is like that.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first special random number and the second special random number extracted in response to the start winning of the game balls to the first start port 2101, the second start port 2102 and the third start port 2415 are used. In response to (depending on the special lottery result), in addition to the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 being variably displayed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 also has a special random number ( The effect image according to the special lottery result) is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, each decoration is displayed in a state where a series of decorative symbol sequences composed of a plurality of different symbols is displayed (for example, three columns of a left decorative symbol, a middle decorative symbol, and a right decorative symbol). The variable display of the symbol sequence is started, and then it is sequentially stopped (in this example, it is stopped in the order of left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle decorative symbol), and finally all decorative symbol sequences are stopped. Then, 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, after the plurality of decorative symbol sequences are variably displayed, the effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result is displayed. Since the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are larger and easier to see than the special symbols on the first and second special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186, the player is generally displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. We will pay attention to the decorative pattern.

  Note that the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 231). The variation display of symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is controlled by the peripheral control unit 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 unit 4140. ing. As a result, the variable display of the symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that the player particularly pays attention to is controlled by the peripheral control unit 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 1900.

  Further, in the peripheral control unit 4140, in addition to the control of the effect image, the drive motors 3161, 3181, 3219, 3254, 3307, 3402, which are provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000, based on the command related to the lottery result. 3516, 3556 and drive solenoids 2330, 2630, 3611, 3711 are operated as appropriate, and the decorative boards 2153, 2310, 2311, 2541, 2610, 2611, 3062, 3125, 3305, 3353, 3501 provided in the game board 4 are provided. , 3525, 3614, 3703, 3705, 3717 are adapted to emit light appropriately, and the player can be entertained by a movable effect and a light effect.

[5. Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (particularly the main control MPU 4100a) will be described. FIG. 197 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU 4100 a of the main control board 4100 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 197 (a), the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment first stores various registers and RAMs as processing in step S1 on the condition that the RAM clear switch 4100c is operated. Initialize the stored data. The RAM clear switch 4100c is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1, and cannot be operated unless the main body frame 3 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch 4100c outputs a clear signal to the main control board 4100 according to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has passed since the power is turned on, and when the power is turned on, the main control MPU 4100a receives the clear signal. When it is determined that there is, initialization processing (step S1) is executed to initialize various registers and data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a backup process for storing information (for example, various flags) indicating the progress of the game in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is executed. If the RAM clear switch 4100c is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). Then, a restoration process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch 4100c is operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 to the initial state.

  Next, as a process in step S2, a random number that is a number to be updated within a predetermined numerical range is updated. That is, in the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment, special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped, and the special symbols. Reach by the variable random number used for the lottery process for a predetermined time (variation time) required for the variable display control of the display, the decorative symbol variable display executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900 in response to the special symbol variable display (Left decorative design and right decorative design are stopped in the same design and the middle decorative design is not yet stopped, or the left, middle and right decorative designs are all displayed in the same design. Reach random numbers used in lottery processing for determining whether or not to win, symbol random numbers used in lottery processing to determine the type of jackpot when it is determined that the jackpot is based on the special random number ( One symbol random number, the second symbol random number), and a random number counter for storing random numbers such like, random numbers to be subjected (usually random) in accordance lottery processing operation triggered become per the Toraku of the movable piece 2105.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first starting port 2101 is won for starting, the second starting port 2102 is won for starting. Even in this case, the reach random number is acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number. The reach determination table to be compared with the acquired reach random number may correspond to the first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and is different from the first reach determination table. You may make it vary the execution ratio of reach production by providing the 2nd reach determination table in which a determination value is set.

  In the process of step S2, the counter operation of the random number counter is performed in such a manner that only the random numbers (variable random numbers) not related to the winning of these random numbers are updated. Note that after the processes of steps S1 and S2 are performed in this way, only the process of step S2 is basically repeated. However, in this embodiment, the following timer interrupt control is performed every 4 ms, for example.

  FIG. 197 (b) is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 4100 a of the main control board 4100.

  As shown in FIG. 197 (b), in this interrupt control, first, a register saving process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as processing of step S12, detection signals from various switches such as the gate sensor 2402, the first start port sensor 3070, the second start port sensor 2127, the count sensor 2128, the general winning port sensor 3071, and the like are received. Entered. Next, as a process in step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the above-mentioned random numbers, the random number counter is updated in such a manner that the random numbers (special random numbers, normal random numbers) related to the display mode at the time of stopping the variable display of the special symbols and the normal symbols are updated. Counter operation is performed.

  Then, after the random number is updated in this way, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 includes, as the process of step S14, a special symbol process process including a lottery process related to the display mode when the variable symbol variable display is stopped. Execute. This special symbol process will be described later, but here, basically, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, first flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a). The corresponding processing is selectively executed based on the two special symbol process flags).

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a normal symbol process process including a lottery process related to a winning win as an operation trigger of the movable piece 2105 as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process, basically, the corresponding process is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. In addition, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is configured so that the drive frequency of the movable piece 2105 is higher during a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state (excluding a part of the 10R big hit gaming state). A lottery process is executed (so-called short-time state). In this embodiment, the winning probability of the normal symbol is increased only for a predetermined period after the end of the jackpot gaming state, the time required for the variable symbol variable display control is shortened, and the lottery result of the normal symbol is obtained. When a hit is made, such a short time state is realized by extending the opening time of the movable piece 2105 and increasing the number of times the movable piece 2105 is opened.

  When the special symbol process (step S14) and the normal symbol process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 then performs the special symbol process as step S16. Then, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a to the peripheral control board 4010 or the like is performed. Next, as a process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in the predetermined area of the RAM in the normal symbol process process to the peripheral control board 4010 or the like is performed.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs an information output process for outputting data such as hit information (15R big hit, 10R big hit) supplied to the hall management computer, for example, as the process of step S18. .

  Then, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 detects the first start port sensor 3070, the second start port sensor 2127, the count sensor 2128, the general winning port sensor 3071, etc. as the process of step S19. When the signals are in the ON state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 1186 so that a prize ball corresponding to the signals is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 4110a mounted on the payout control board 1186 outputs a drive signal from the payout motor drive circuit 4111d to the payout motor 744 so as to pay out a prize ball to the player.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the start memory number as a process of step S20. Next, as a process of step S21, a test terminal process that is a process of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that operates constantly is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and the control is finished when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24). It becomes.

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 4 ms. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by an interrupt process by a timer. However, in the interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred may be set. However, in this case, the game control process is executed in the main process.

  FIG. 198 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 198, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is first controlled by the first start port sensor 3070. On condition that the detection signal is in the on state (the ball enters the first start port 2101) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the random number counter and is obtained from the RAM number. A first start port passing process such as storing in one special symbol holding storage area is executed (step S32). Also, on condition that the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2127 is in an ON state (the ball enters the second start port 2102) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is set to the random number. A second start port passage process is performed such as obtaining from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol holding storage area of the RAM (step S34).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a big hit execution flag indicating that control is in the big hit gaming state is set (step S35). If the big hit execution flag is set, the big hit gaming state is controlled. A big hit control process (step S40) is executed. In the jackpot control process, the results of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped are “15R (right) probability variable jackpot (specific 1)”, “10R. (Right) Profit variation jackpot (specific 2) "," 15R (right) rank up probability variation jackpot (specific 3) "When it comes to the mode suggesting the 15R or 10R jackpot game state, When 2552 is controlled to be open and “10R (left) probability variation big hit (specific 4)” or “15R (left) rank up probability variation big hit (specific 5)” is suggested, 15R or long open In response to the 10R big hit game state of the game, the winning prize opening 2103 is controlled to be in an open state, and when it becomes a mode that suggests “10R (left) latent probability change big hit (specific 6)”, a short release 10R big hit game State In response to execute a process of controlling the open state the special winning opening 2103.

  On the other hand, if the big hit execution flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit gaming state is controlled is set (step S36), and the small hit execution flag is set. If is set, a small hit control process (step S41) for controlling the small hit gaming state is executed. In the small hit control process, when the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) has become a mode that suggests "small hit", A process of controlling the big winning opening 2103 to the open state is executed in accordance with the small hit game state similar to the 10R big hit game state opened for a short time.

  If neither big hit execution flag nor small hit execution flag is set, the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is “ On the condition that it is “0” (step S37), the first special symbol process including the lottery processing relating to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (step S38), and the second special symbol is suspended. On the condition that the value of the second special reserved number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the storage area is not “0” (step S37), the display mode at the time of stopping the variable display of the second special symbol is applied. A second special symbol process process including a lottery process is executed (step S39). Thus, in this example, when the value of the second special reserved number counter is not “0”, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

  FIG. 199 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first start port passage process (step S32).

  If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3070 is in an on state and a game ball has entered the first start port 2101, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first obtains the counter value by the first special reservation number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S41. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved special symbols is “4” which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S41, if it is determined that the number of the first special symbol hold is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol on hold. Processing of S42 to S44 will be performed. That is, first, as the processing of step S42, the first special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing of step S43, the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as a process of step S44, the first special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 4100a is used as the processing in step S44. To store.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S41 that the number of the first special symbol hold is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly held. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S42 to S44, the first special symbol variation display control is not newly put on hold.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a displays the display result of the variable display of the first special symbol based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number acquired in step S43. Whether or not, if the big hit is a big hit type, if the big hit or small hit is not, the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, or the type type of the game effect to be executed After performing the effect pre-determination process for determining the pre-determination information such as before the start of the variable display according to the start winning (step S45), the process ends.

  FIG. 200 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second start port passage process (step S34).

  If it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2127 is in an on state and a game ball has entered the second start port 2102, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S51. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved second special symbols is the maximum value “4”.

  In the process of step S51, if it is determined that the second special symbol hold count is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol on hold. The processing of S52 to S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S52, the second special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing in step S53, the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S54, the second special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 4100a is used as the processing in step S54. To store.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S51 that the second special symbol hold count is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly held. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S52 to S54, the second special symbol variable display control is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 201 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the effect preliminary determination processing (steps S45 and S55). When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A) and the acquired random number, specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, Whether or not the big hit or the small hit is made by comparing the variable random numbers, the type of the big hit if the big hit, or the reach effect as a game effect executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900 if the big hit or the small hit is not Or the type of game effect to be executed is specified (step S61).

  In the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), when the first special random number is acquired in step S43 of the first start port passage process, a high probability flag indicating that high probability state control is being executed is set. If the high probability flag is not set, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit by comparing the high probability jackpot judgment value with the first special random number. By comparing with one special random number, it is specified whether or not it is a big hit. This high-probability jackpot determination value (3819-3918) is set in a later-described high-probability jackpot determination table (see FIG. 206A) and is the same randomness as the jackpot determination value compared with the first special random number. The jackpot judgment value (3909-3918) with a low probability is set to a jackpot judgment table (see FIG. 206 (A)) at a low probability described later and is compared with the first special random number. The same random number is assumed. For this reason, by comparing the first special random number and the pre-judgment table in step S61, it is accurately specified whether or not it will be a big hit, and "big hit 1-12" as the big hit as the pre-judgment information, not a big hit It can be classified into either “losing” or “reach 1 to 4”.

  In the prior determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), when the first special random number is acquired in step S43 of the first start port passage process, the same randomness is obtained regardless of whether or not the high probability flag is set. It is also specified whether or not a small hit is made by comparing the small hit determination value set to a numerical value with the first special random number. These small hit determination values (3800-3818) at the time of high probability or low probability are set in a jackpot determination table (see FIG. 206 (A)) at the time of high probability or low probability, which will be described later, and the first special random number. It is set to the same random number as the small hit determination value compared with. For this reason, by comparing the first special random number with the prior determination table in step S61, it is accurately specified whether or not it is a small hit, and is classified as “big hit 12” including the small hit as the prior determination information. be able to.

  In the prior determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), when the second special random number is acquired in step S53 of the second start port passing process, a high probability flag indicating that the control in the high probability state is being executed. If it is set, it is determined whether it is a big hit by comparing the high probability jackpot judgment value with the second special random number. If the high probability flag is not set, the low probability jackpot judgment value is determined. Is compared with the second special random number to determine whether or not a big hit has occurred. This high-probability jackpot determination value (3819-3918) is the same as the jackpot determination value set in the high-probability jackpot determination table (see FIG. 206A) to be described later and compared with the second special random number. The jackpot judgment value (3909-3918) with a low probability is set to a jackpot judgment value (3909-3918) at a low probability, which will be described later, and is compared with the second special random number. The same random number is assumed. For this reason, by comparing the second special random number and the pre-judgment table in step S61, it is accurately specified whether or not it will be a big hit, and "big hit 1-12" as the big hit as the pre-judgment information, not a big hit It can be classified into either “losing” or “reach 1 to 4”.

  In the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), if it is determined in step S61 that the first special random number is compared with the pre-determination table and a big hit is specified, a determination value indicating which big hit is to be made. And the first symbol random number are used to identify the type of jackpot. Specifically, the determination value (64-175) indicating that it is a big hit of the specific 1 is set in a symbol determination table (see FIG. 206C) described later and is compared with the first symbol random number. Among them, the determination value (0-63) indicating that it is the same random number as the determination value indicating that it is a specific 1 big hit, and the specific 2-5 or non-specific big win is a symbol determination table (to be described later) 206 (C)) is set to the same random number as the determination value indicating the specific 2 to 5 or non-specific jackpot among the determination values to be compared with the first symbol random number, The determination value (176-199) indicating that it is a big hit is a specific big hit among the determination values that are set in a symbol determination table (see FIG. 206C) described later and are compared with the first symbol random number. It is the same random value as the judgment value indicating

  In addition, in the prior determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), when it is determined that a big hit is made, a plurality of types of reach effects are obtained by comparing a determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with a variable random number. Which of the reach productions is executed to identify the big hit. Specifically, the determination value (0-4) indicating that the normal reach effect is executed in the specific 1 big hit is the same as the determination value indicating that the normal reach effect is executed among the determination values compared with the variable random numbers. The determination value (5-29) indicating that the super-reach production (hereinafter, also referred to as weak SP reach) with a low jackpot expectation is performed is a random value of Random value that is the same as the judgment value indicating execution of super reach production with low jackpot expectation level, and specific super reach production of super reach production with high jackpot expectation level (hereinafter also referred to as strong SP reach) The determination value (30-216) indicating execution other than (also referred to as a specific strong SP reach) is other than a specific super reach effect among the determination values compared with the variable random numbers. A determination value (217) indicating that a specific super reach effect is to be executed among the super reach effects having a high jackpot expectation level. -240) is the same random value as the determination value indicating that a specific super reach effect is executed among the determination values compared with the variable random number.

  Further, the determination value (0-4) indicating that the normal reach effect is executed in the specific 2-5 or non-specific big hit is the determination value indicating that the normal reach effect is executed among the determination values compared with the variable random numbers. The determination value (5-29), which is the same random number value and indicates that the super-reaching effect having a low jackpot expectation level is to be executed, is a super-reach effect having a low jackpot expectation level among the determination values compared with the variable random number The determination value (30 to 216) indicating that the determination value (30-216) other than a specific super reach effect is executed is compared with the random number value, which is the same random value as the determination value indicating execution. The same random number value as the judgment value indicating that a super-reach production with a high degree of expectation of jackpots other than a specific super-reach production is performed, A determination value (217-240) indicating that a specific super reach effect is to be executed among the super-reach effects having a high waiting level indicates that a specific super reach effect is to be executed among the determination values compared with the variable random numbers. The random number is the same as the judgment value.

  The determination value (0-89) indicating that the normal reach effect is to be executed in the big hit of 6 is the same random value as the determination value indicating that the normal reach effect is to be executed among the determination values compared with the variable random numbers. The determination value (90-189) indicating that the super-reaching effect having a low jackpot expectation level is to be executed indicates that the super-reaching effect having a low jackpot expectation level is to be executed among the determination values compared with the variable random numbers. A determination value (190-216) indicating that a random value that is the same as the determination value and that is not a specific super reach effect among the super reach effects with a high expectation degree of jackpot is performed is a determination value that is compared with the variable random number. Out of a specific super reach production, it is the same random number as the judgment value indicating that a super reach production with a high expectation level of big hit is performed, and the big hit expectation degree Among the high super reach effects, a determination value (217-240) indicating that a specific super reach effect is to be executed is a determination value indicating that a specific super reach effect is to be executed among the determination values that are compared with the variable random numbers. The same random number is assumed.

  For this reason, in step S61, the first symbol random number is compared with the prior determination table, and the random number is compared with the prior determination table, so that the type of jackpot is accurately identified. "Big jackpot 1" which is a big hit of a specific 1 of the "big hit 2" which is a big hit of a specific 1 from a weak SP reach, "Big hit 3" which is a big hit of a specific 1 from a strong SP reach other than a specific strong SP reach , "Big hit 4" as specific 1 big hit from specific strong SP reach, "specific big 5" from normal reach, or "special hit 5" including non-specific big hit, specific 2-5 from non-specific SP reach "Big jackpot 6" including specific jackpots, specific 2-5 from strong SP reach other than specific strong SP reach or "big hit 7" including non-specific jackpots, specific strong SP price "Big jackpot 8", which includes specific 2-5 or non-specific jackpots from H, "Big jackpot 9" as specified jackpot from normal reach, "Big jackpot 10" as specified jackpot from weak SP reach, It can be classified into either “big hit 11”, which is a specific 6 big hit from strong SP reach other than a specific strong SP reach, or “big hit 12”, which is a specific 6 big hit from a specific strong SP reach.

  In the prior determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), if it is determined in step S61 that the second special random number is compared with the prior determination table and the big hit is specified, the determination value indicating which big hit is to be determined. And the second symbol random number are identified. Specifically, the determination value (64-199) indicating that it is a big hit of the specific 1 is set in a symbol determination table (see FIG. 206C) described later and is compared with the second symbol random number. Among them, the determination value (0-63) indicating that it is the same random number as the determination value indicating that it is a specific 1 big hit, and the specific 2-5 or non-specific big win is a symbol determination table (to be described later) Among the determination values that are set in FIG. 206 (C) and are compared with the second symbol random number, the determination value is the same as the determination value that indicates specific 2 to 5 or non-specific big hit. In addition, when comparing the second symbol random number and the preliminary determination table in step S61, as in the case of comparing the first symbol random number and the preliminary determination table described above, a determination value indicating which reach effect is executed. Is compared with the random number to determine which of the plurality of types of reach effects is executed and which is a big hit. For this reason, in step S61, by comparing the second symbol random number and the advance determination table, and by comparing the variable random number and the advance determination table, the type of the big hit is specified accurately, It can be classified into any one of “1” to “12 jackpots”.

  In the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 202 (A), the reach is displayed when it is specified that the loss occurs, and the high probability flag indicating that the control of the high probability state is executed is set. A time reduction flag that indicates whether or not to display the reach by comparing the reach determination value at the time of probability change indicating that to perform and the reach random number, and indicating that the control of the short time state (low probability short time state) is being executed. If it is set, it is determined whether or not the reach is displayed by comparing the reach determination value indicating that the reach is displayed and the reach random number, and the high probability flag or the time flag is not set. First, when indicating that the control in the normal state is being executed, it is specified whether or not the reach is displayed by comparing the reach determination value at the normal time indicating that the reach is displayed and the reach random number. The reach determination value (0) at the time of probability change is set to a reach determination table at the time of probability change (see FIG. 206B), which will be described later, and is the same random value as the reach determination value to be compared with the reach random number. The reach reach determination value (0-5) at the time is set to a reach determination table (see FIG. 206B) to be described later and is set to the same random number as the reach determination value compared with the reach random number. The reach determination value (0-6) at the time is set to a random number value that is the same as the reach determination value that is set in a normal reach determination table (see FIG. 206B) described later and is compared with the reach random number. . For this reason, by comparing the reach random number and the pre-determination table in step S61, it is accurately determined whether or not the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed in the liquid crystal display device 1900 when the big hit is not made. The information can be classified as either “losing” that does not display reach (execute the reach effect) or “reach 1 to 4” that displays reach (execute the reach effect).

  Note that the reach determination value (0-5) at the time reduction and the reach determination value (0-6) at the normal time include the same determination value (0) as the reach determination value (0) at the time of probability change. When the same reach determination value and the reach random number match, it is classified whether the reach is displayed (reach effect is executed) in any of the game states at the time of probability change, time reduction, or normal time. Therefore, by comparing the reach random number and the prior determination table in step S61, it is specified whether the reach effect is executed as the game effect in the liquid crystal display device 1900 in any game state at the time of probability change, time reduction, or normal time. can do.

  202A, when a reach effect is executed as a game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, a determination value indicating which reach effect is executed is compared with a variable random number. The mode classification of the game effect to be executed is specified. Specifically, the determination value (0 to 163) indicating that the normal reach effect is executed is set in a change pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach described later, and the normal reach effect among the determination values compared with the variable random number. The determination value (164-222) indicating the execution of the super reach effect with a low jackpot expectation degree is a random value that is the same as the determination value indicating execution of the reach, and a reach variation pattern table (not shown) described later ) Is set to the same random value as the determination value indicating that the super-reach effect with a low jackpot expectation level is to be executed among the determination values to be compared with the variable random numbers, and the super-reach effect with a high jackpot expectation level is specified. A determination value (223-235) indicating that a non-super reach effect is executed is a fluctuation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach described later. ) Is set to the same random number as the determination value indicating that a super-reaching effect having a high jackpot expectation level other than a specific super-reach effect is performed, and the jackpot expectation degree A determination value (236-240) indicating that a specific super reach effect is to be executed among the super reach effects having a high value is set in a change pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach, which will be described later, and compared with a variable random number. Among the values, the same random number as the determination value indicating that a specific super reach effect is executed. For this reason, by comparing the variable random number with the advance determination table in step S61, the mode type of the game effect to be executed is accurately specified, and “reach 1” for executing the normal reach effect as the advance determination information, the jackpot expectation degree “Reach 2” for low super-reach production, “Reach 3” for high-reach super-reach production (other than specific super-reach production), High-reach super-reach production (specific super reach production) ) Can be classified into any one of “reach 4”. Then, by comparing the reach random number with the advance determination table in step S61, the advance determination information can be classified into any one of “reach 1” to “reach 4”.

  As described above, as a result of the comparison between the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 202A and the acquired random numbers (special random numbers, design random numbers, reach random numbers, variable random numbers), whether or not the big hit or the small hit, In the case of a big hit, if it is not a big hit or a small hit, a reach effect is executed as a game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, or prior determination information such as a type type of a game effect to be executed is specified. As shown in FIG. 202 (B), the pre-determination information is classified into one of 17 types: “lost”, “big hit 1” to “big hit 12”, “reach 1” to “reach 4”.

  Then, in the production prior determination process (steps S45 and S55), the specified prior determination information (whether it is a big hit or a small hit, if it is a big hit, if it is not a big hit or a big hit or a small hit) The reach effect is executed as the game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, or the type of the game effect to be executed), and the acquired special random number type (either the first special random number or the second special random number) Then, a hold number (value of the hold number counter) stored in correspondence with the acquired special random number and a hold number command corresponding to the set number are set. For example, in the production pre-determination process related to the first special symbol executed in step S45 of the first start port passage process, the specified pre-determination information and the first special random number are acquired, and the number of first special symbols held A first special symbol hold number command corresponding to (the value of the first special hold number counter) is set (step S62). Note that in the fourth digit of the number-of-holds command (for example, 620XH when the prior determination information regarding the first special symbol is “losing”), when the number of held = 1, X = 2 and the number of held = 2. Sometimes X = 3, X = 4 when the number of holds = 3, and X = 5 when the number of holds = 4. For this reason, when the hold number command is transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4010, the start opening (one of the first start opening 2101 and the second start opening 2102) where the start winning is generated, the start In addition to the number of holds stored corresponding to the mouth, whether or not the display result of the change display of the special symbol based on the generated start winning is a big hit or a small hit, When it is not a small hit, a reach effect is executed as a game effect executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, or prior determination information such as a type type of a game effect to be executed is started to be displayed in accordance with the start winning. The peripheral control MPU 4140a previously mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 can be grasped.

  In this example, the same random number as the jackpot determination value in the prior determination table and the jackpot determination value in the jackpot determination table described later is used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the jackpot determination value of the pre-judgment table includes only a part of the jackpot determination value of the jackpot determination table, or a part or all of the jackpot determination value of the jackpot determination table is different from the jackpot determination value of the jackpot determination table. It may be configured to include a random number of numbers, and the degree of possibility of being a big hit in the effect pre-determination process may be determined.

  Specifically, a part of the big hit judgment value and the outlier judgment value (which may include the small hit judgment value) different from the big hit judgment value can be distinguished as a high probability random number group, and the high probability random number group A high probability random number determining means having a ratio of the jackpot determination value that can be discriminated as to the outlier determination value set higher than a ratio of the jackpot determination table in which the winning probability of the jackpot is determined, and random number acquisition Of the random numbers acquired by the means, the winning random number (first special random number, second special random number) is classified into either the above-mentioned loss determination value or the above jackpot determination value, and this is not executed. A value that belongs to the high probability random number group in which the winning random numbers used for the determination are mixed with the jackpot determination value and the outlier determination value while maintaining the state of It is provided with pseudo-probability advance determination means that makes it possible to execute an advance determination on the degree of expectation (pseudo-winning probability) related to the jackpot winning for each determination process that is put on hold by determining whether or not there is The above-described pseudo-probability advance determination means may determine in advance the degree of expectation related to the big win.

  In this way, by including a high probability random number determining means in which the jackpot judgment value and the loss judgment value are mixed, there is a risk that confidential information about the winning result of the jackpot judgment that is still on hold can be leaked While maintaining the conventional production structure that eliminates the above, regarding the degree of expectation (pseudo-winning probability) related to the winning of the jackpot according to the mixture ratio of the jackpot judgment value and the loss judgment value in the means with high probability random number determination The preceding determination can be executed. For example, prior to the execution of the jackpot determination (digestion of the determination process), the preceding determination that the winning random number used for the jackpot determination is a value belonging to the high probability random number group (special hit determination value) was not made. When the decision process based on the random number value (a value belonging to the low-probability random number group that is paired with the high-probability random number group) that is not the pre-determined special hit determination value is expected, It is determined that the degree (pseudo-winning probability) is lower than the expected degree of jackpot (winning probability) (pseudo-lowered winning probability).

  According to the preceding determination method for such a high probability random number group, when the specific determination process is put on hold, the jackpot determination is maintained in an unexecuted state (pending state). In addition, the expected degree (pseudo-winning probability) can be notified in advance, for example, at a predetermined timing such as at the time of new output of the hold display or at the time of shift display corresponding to the hold-up. Will come to be.

  FIG. 203 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process (step S38). The first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process and the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for the determination. Since only the table is different, only the first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process will be described here. In the first special symbol process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed in accordance with the first special symbol process flag.

1. A first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is read, and a lottery process for a display mode at the time of stopping the variable control of the first special symbol is performed based on the read first special random number. Symbol normal processing (step S80)
2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) in which the determination process of the first special symbol variation control stop mode is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control stop )
3. A lottery process for the variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 based on the variable random number, and the variation mode of the effect display executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 corresponding to the special symbol. First variation pattern setting process (step S82)
4). First special symbol variation process that waits until the first special symbol variation display on the first special symbol indicator 1185 is stopped (step S83).
5. The first special symbol indicator 1185 displays the first special symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control stop. First special symbol stop process for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S80) should be performed in the processing of step S1 (see FIG. 197).

  FIG. 204 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal process is to be performed, as shown in FIG. 204, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first executes step S101. As the process, it is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the first special symbol that is in the hold state, then in step S102, it is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. The random number stored in the first storage area among the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the first design random number, the reach random number, and the variable random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol being read is read from the RAM. . Then, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special reserved number counter is counted down, and the first special symbol reserved storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored in each storage area. A random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4 and stores the random numbers extracted in response to the occurrence of the start winning prize in order from the first (first) area. Then, if a starting prize occurs when random numbers are stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the extracted random numbers are stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. When the variable display start condition based on the random number stored in the storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the first special symbol occurs can be stored in an identifiable manner, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension that occurred first). become.

  And after that, as a process of step S105, based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol, a big hit determination process which is a lottery process for the big win is performed. Thereafter, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing (step S81) (step S106), the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 205 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot determination process (step S105).

  If the current gaming state is a high probability state (high probability short time state, high probability non-short time state) (step S111), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 has a high probability state shown in FIG. A jackpot determination table is selected (step S112). If the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), the jackpot determination table at the low probability shown in FIG. 206A is selected (step S113) and selected. The big hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S114).

  The jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 206 (A) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a, and when the gaming state is low probability (normal state (low probability non-short state) and short time state (low probability short state)). And a jackpot determination table for a high probability used when the gaming state is a high probability (a high probability non-short-time state, a high-probability short-time state). Then, in the jackpot determination table at the low probability, similarly to the above-described pre-determination table, the ten types of first special random numbers coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot is won, and the nineteen types of first special random numbers are small. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the small hit determination value indicating that the winning is won, and to match the loss determination values indicating that the 3890 types of first special random numbers are out of place. In the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process, a small hit determination value is set in the low probability big hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number. It is not done and you won't win a small hit. In the jackpot determination table at the low probability, similarly to the above-described pre-determination table, 10 types of second special random numbers coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot is won, and 3909 types of second special random numbers are out of the above. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the loss determination value indicating that

  In addition, in the jackpot determination table at the high probability, 100 types of first special random numbers including the same first special random number as the first special random number set in the jackpot determination table at the low probability, as in the prior determination table. Match the big hit determination value, match the small hit determination value indicating that 19 types of first special random numbers have been won for the small hit, and 3800 types of first special random numbers match the loss determination value. One special random number is associated with each. As described above, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability short-time state, high probability non-short time state), the big hit determination value indicating that the big hit is won is a low probability (normal state (low probability non-short time state) ) And time-short state (low probability time-short state)). In the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process, a small hit determination value is set in the high probability big hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number. It is not done and you won't win a small hit. In the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability, 100 types of second special random numbers including the second special random number that is the same as the second special random number set in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability are the same as the prior determination table. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot is won and match with the loss determination value indicating that the 3909 types of second special random numbers are out of place.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected jackpot determination table with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process and determines that it is a jackpot (step S115). ), The big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is won by the big win is set and the process is terminated (step S116), and the first special read out in step S102 of the selected big hit determination table and the first special symbol normal process As a result of the comparison with the random number, when it is determined that a small hit is made (step S117), a small hit flag indicating that the change is won for the small hit is set and the process is ended (step S118). Comparison result between the selected jackpot determination table and the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process If it is determined that the off compares the reach random read Reach determination table and step S102 shown in FIG. 206 (B) (step S119).

  The reach determination table shown in FIG. 206 (B) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a, and the probability change used when the game state is a probability change (high probability state (high probability non-short time state, high probability short time state)). Time reach determination table, time reach reach determination table used when the game state is short (low probability time short state), and normal reach determination used when the game state is normal (normal state) And a table. Then, in the reach determination table at the time of probability change, the reach determination value indicating that one type of reach random number is reached and 238 types of reach random numbers are not reached, as in the prior determination table. The reach random numbers are associated with each other so as to match.

  Further, in the reach determination table at the time reduction, similarly to the above-described determination table, reach determination indicating that six types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number set in the reach determination table at the time of probability change reach. The reach random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the reach determination value indicating that the reach and the 233 types of reach random numbers do not reach. As described above, in this embodiment, the reach determination value indicating the reach is increased in the short time (low probability short time state) than in the probability change (high probability state).

  Furthermore, in the normal reach determination table, as with the above-described pre-determination table, seven types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number as the reach random number set in the probability determination time and short-time reach determination tables are reached. The reach random numbers are associated with each other so that the reach determination values coincide with the reach determination values indicating that the 232 types of reach random numbers do not reach. As described above, in this embodiment, in the normal time (normal state), the reach determination value indicating reach is higher than in the time of probability change (high probability state) and in the short time (low probability short time state).

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected reach determination table with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119), and determines that the reach is shifted (step S120a), the fluctuation A reach flag indicating that becomes reach is set, and the process ends (step S120b).

  FIG. 207 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 207, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the jackpot determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether the big hit flag or the small hit flag is set (steps S121 and S124).

  If the big hit flag is set in step S121, the main control MPU 4100a compares the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 206 (C). (Step S122) The type of jackpot is determined, and the mode at the time of variable control stop of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined jackpot type (stop symbol of the first special symbol) is determined (Step S123).

  As shown in FIG. 206 (C), in the symbol determination table, similar to the prior determination table, each determination result (specific 1 15R (right) probability variation big hit, specific 2 10R (right) probability variation big hit, specific 3 15R (right) rank up probability variation big hit, specific 4 10R (left) probability variation big hit, specific 5 15R (left) rank up probability variation big hit, specific 6 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit, non-specific 10R (left) (Usually big hit)) is stored in a form associated with a design random number (first design random number, second design random number). The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the type of jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the first symbol random number is set different from the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the second symbol random number. ing.

In particular,
1. The 15R big hit gaming state using the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is controlled (the opening / closing pattern for opening and closing the second opening / closing member 2553 is repeated 15 times (15 rounds)), and after the 15R big hit gaming state ends. 1. Specific 1 15R (right) probability variable big hit that is controlled to the high probability time-short state until it becomes big hit again. The 10R big hit gaming state using the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is controlled (the opening / closing pattern for opening and closing the second opening / closing member 2553 is repeated 10 times (10 rounds)), and after the 10R big hit gaming state is finished. 2. Specific 2 10R (right) probability variable big hit that controls to the high probability short-time state until it becomes big hit again. The big hit gaming state is controlled as if the game is finished in the 10R big hit gaming state using the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550. However, by continuing the big hit gaming state thereafter, a total of 15R big hit gaming state is obtained. 3. Control (rank up) so that after the end of the 15R big hit gaming state, control to the high probability short-time state until the big hit again, 3 specific 15R (right) rank up positive change big hit The 10R big hit game state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled (the opening / closing pattern for opening and closing the open / close member 2106 is repeated 10 times (10 rounds)). 4. 10R (left) probability variation big hit to control to high probability short-time state 5. The big hit gaming state is controlled as if the game was ended in the 10R big hit gaming state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100, but the big hit gaming state is continued thereafter, so that the total 15R big hit gaming state is controlled. (Rank up) and after the 15R jackpot gaming state ends, control to the high probability short-time state until a big hit is again made. Controlling the 10R big hit game state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 in such a manner that it is difficult for the game ball to enter, and controlling the high probability non-short state until the big hit again after the 10R big hit game state ends 6. A specific 6 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit that executes a game effect in which it is difficult to determine whether or not the liquid crystal display device 1400 is in a high probability state. Control is made to a 10R big hit gaming state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100, and after the 10R big hit gaming state is finished, a predetermined number of times (50 times) of special symbols (first special symbol and second special symbol) are displayed. It is determined to be one of the seven types of big hits of non-specific 10R (left) normal big hits that are controlled to the low probability short state until execution.

  In this example, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. The symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol is set so that the judgment value distribution is different from that of the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, and the determination ratio of each jackpot is different. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 206 (C), in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, the specific 1 15R (right) probability variation big hit, the specific 2 10R (right) probability variation big hit, the specific 3 15R (right) rank-up probability variation big hit, specific 4 10R (left) probability variation big hit, specific 6 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit, non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit are set. On the other hand, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, specific 1 15R (right) probability variation big hit, specific 4 10R (left) probability variation big hit, specific 5 15R (left) rank up probability variation big hit, non The distribution of determination values is set for a specific 10R (left) normal big hit.

  Further, in this example, when the specific 1 15R (right) probability variation big hit, the specific 2 10R (right) probability variation big hit, and the specific 3 15R (right) ranked up probability variation big hit, the second attacker unit 2550 The big hit gaming state is controlled so as to open and close the two opening / closing members 2553, while the specific 4 10R (left) probability change big hit, the specific 5 15R (left) rank up positive change big hit, and the specific 6 10R (left) latent probability change The big hit gaming state is controlled so that the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened and closed when the big hit is a non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit. Therefore, during the control of the big hit game state in which the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is opened / closed, the center accessory 2500 is arranged so that a large number of game balls win the second big prize opening 2552. A game ball must be fired (so-called “right-handed”) aiming at the right side. On the other hand, during the control of the big hit game state in which the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened and closed, the game ball is aimed at the left side of the center accessory 2500 so that many game balls are won in the big prize opening 2103. Must be fired (so-called “left-handed”).

  As described above, during the control of the big hit game state in which the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened and closed, a game ball is launched aiming at the left side of the center accessory 2500. In the game area 1100 on the left side, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1200 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so that the game balls Various movements are given and it flows down. For this reason, even when a game ball is driven into the left side of the center accessory 2500 with the aim of the big prize opening 2103 when the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened, Not only the game balls that have not won the prize winning opening 2103 are discharged to the outside from the out opening 1232 (1151) provided at the lower center in the left-right direction of the game area 1100.

  On the other hand, during the control of the big hit game state for opening and closing the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550, a game ball is launched aiming at the right side of the center accessory 2500. In the second game area 2551 on the right side of 2500, no obstacle nail is implanted on the front surface of the game panel 1200. Further, due to the structure of the game board 4, when the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is opened, when a game ball is driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the second big prize opening 2552 The second big prize opening 2552 is always won. For this reason, in the big hit gaming state in which the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is opened / closed, the game ball that has been struck into the second gaming area 2551 is wasted (discharged to the outside through the out port 1232 (1151)). ), And the game ball is more efficiently won in the second big prize opening 2552, compared to the big prize opening 2103 in the big hit gaming state in which the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened and closed. You can digest the big hit gaming state.

  In this example, the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round in the big hit gaming state with specific 1 to 5 and non-specific and specific 6 (time to open / close the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100) or The opening time of the second big prize opening 2552 (the time for controlling the opening of the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550) is varied. Specifically, in the case of specific 1-5 and non-specific big wins, a long open state in which the open time of the big prize opening 2103 or the second big prize opening 2552 per round is 30 seconds is set. In contrast to the control, when the specified 6R (left) latent probability variation big hit is made, the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round is set to 0.05 seconds which is extremely shorter than the long open state. Controlled to short open state. Even in the case of a small hit, the short winning state is controlled to a short open state in which the open time of the big winning opening 2103 per round in the small hit game state is 0.05 seconds. In this way, when the specific 6R (left) latent probability variation big hit or small hit is reached, the opening time of the large winning opening 2103 per round is too short, so the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 Even if the opening control is recognized, it is difficult to win a game ball in the big winning opening 2103. That is, during the control of the short hit state in the big hit game state and the small hit game state, the game ball rarely wins the big winning opening 2103, and unlike in the control of the long open state, many game balls Can not be expected.

  Also, in this example, multiple types of effect modes are prepared according to the gaming state, and when the gaming state is switched with a big hit (including when the gaming state is not switched with a big hit) The production mode is also shifted. In this effect mode, dedicated game effects (reach effects, effects during a big hit game, etc.) are set for each effect mode, and when the effect mode shifts, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays a liquid crystal display corresponding to each effect mode. The effect display by the background color of the device 1900 and the characters (including the decoration pattern) is executed, and the impression of the game changes in each effect mode. Specifically, when the low probability non-short-time state (normal state) is controlled, the normal mode (in this example, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is controlled to a blue background color) is set, and the high-probability short-time state (probability change). The mode is set to the probability changing middle mode (in this example, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is controlled to the red background color) while being controlled to the low-probability time-short state (time-short state). (In this example, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is controlled to have a yellow background color), and the probability variation latency mode (when the high probability non-time-short state (probability variation state) or the low probability non-time-short state (normal state) is controlled) In this example, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is set to a light blue background color. In this way, the player can determine which production mode is controlled by visually recognizing the background color of the liquid crystal display device 1900. It should be noted that the liquid crystal display device 1900 has a predetermined mode (characters or characters corresponding to each effect mode may be used) so that the player can determine which effect mode is controlled. May be displayed.

  Then, in the normal mode corresponding to the low probability non-time-short state, the specific 1 15R (right) probability variable big hit, the specific 2 10R (right) positive probability big hit, the specific 3 15R (right) rank up positive variable big hit, the specific 4 When the 10R (left) probability change big hit is reached, after the big hit gaming state is finished, the mode is changed from the normal mode to the probability changing middle mode with the control to the high probability time-short state, and the non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit In this case, after the big hit gaming state is finished, the mode is changed from the normal time mode to the short time middle mode in accordance with the control to the low probability short time state, and it becomes a specific 6 10R (left) latent probability change big hit or small hit. In such a case, the mode is changed from the normal mode to the probability variation latent mode with the control to the high probability non-time short state after the end of the big hit gaming state or the low probability non time short state after the small hit gaming state. It is. Also, in the probability changing mode according to the high-probability short-time state, when a specific 1 15R (right) probability variation big hit, a specific 4 10R (left) probability big hit, and a specific 5 15R (left) rank-up probability big hit Continues the probability changing mode with the control to the high probability time-short state again after the end of the big hit gaming state, and when the non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit, the low after the end of the big hit gaming state As the probability time-short state is controlled, the mode changes from the probability changing mode to the time-short / medium mode.

  In the above probability change mode, if a specific 4 10R (left) probability change big hit, a specific 5 15R (left) rank up positive change big hit, and a non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit, until the start of the big hit gaming state However, it is difficult to determine whether or not to control to a high probability time-short state (probability change state) after the big hit gaming state, and the big hit gaming state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is started. As a game effect in the big hit game state that is executed until the game state is finished, a probability variation bonus effect is executed as to whether or not to control to a high probability time-short state after the big hit game state is finished. In this probability variation bonus effect, for example, the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 to produce an effect whether or not the hero character displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 succeeds in judging the villain character multiple times (four times). ), When the specific 4 10R (left) probability variation big hit and the specific 5 15R (left) rank up probability variation big hit, the hero character judges the villain character until a plurality of performances are executed. In particular, when the jackpot gaming state ends, the high probability time-short state is controlled, but in the case of a non-specific 10R (left) normal jackpot, the main character is a bad guy in all of the multiple performances. By failing to judge the character, the low probability time-short state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state. Thus, in the probability variation bonus production, since the production of whether or not the hero character succeeds in judging the villain character is executed a plurality of times (four times), there is an opportunity for the hero character to succeed in judging the villain character. It is possible to increase the expectation that the high probability time-short state will be controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state.

  Further, in the above-described normal mode, when a specific 2 10R (right) probability variation big hit and a specific 3 15R (right) rank-up probability big hit are hit, the 10R big hit gaming state or the 15R big hit by the start of the big hit gaming state It is difficult to determine which of the gaming states is controlled, and the big hit gaming state using the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 is started, but it is executed until the 10R big hit gaming state is finished. As a game effect during the jackpot gaming state, a rank-up effect is determined as to whether or not to continue control from the end of the 10R jackpot gaming state to the 15R jackpot gaming state. In this rank-up effect, for example, an effect of whether or not the object detection unit 2530 succeeds in destroying a predetermined number of enemy characters displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 by detecting the movement of the player's hand. Executed, and if it is a specific 3 15R (right) rank-up probability variation big hit, by successfully destroying a predetermined number of enemy characters, the big hit gaming state is continuously controlled to the 15R big hit gaming state. In the case of a specific 2 10R (right) probability variable big hit, control is made to end the big hit gaming state in the 10R big hit gaming state by failing to destroy a predetermined number of enemy characters.

  Further, in the normal mode described above, when a specific 4 10R (left) probability variation big hit and a non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit are made, after the 10R big hit gaming state ends by the start of the 10R big hit gaming state. It is difficult to determine whether or not to control to a high probability time-short state (probability change state), and the 10R big hit gaming state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is started, but until the 10R big hit gaming state ends. As a game effect during the big hit gaming state executed at the time, a probabilistic challenge effect as to whether or not to control to the high probability time-short state after the end of the 10R big hit gaming state is executed. In the probability variation challenge effect, for example, an effect is performed as to whether or not the door can be successfully opened by rotating the dial operation unit 401 in accordance with an instruction displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. (Left) If it is a probable big hit, it is controlled to a high probability short-time state after the end of the 10R big hit gaming state by successfully opening the door, whereas it is a non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit In the case of failure to open the door, the low probability time-short state is controlled after the end of the 10R big hit gaming state.

  Further, in the above-described normal time mode, when a specific 6R (left) latent probability variation big hit is achieved, the high probability non-time-short state is controlled until the big hit is reached again after the 10R big hit gaming state. In addition, in the case of a small hit, since the gaming state at the time of the small hit is continuously controlled after the end of the small hit gaming state, In this case, after the small hit gaming state set equal to the 10R big hit gaming state, the low probability non-time-short state is controlled. In this way, when the 10R (left) latency probability change big hit or small hit of the specific 6 is reached, the control is controlled to the non-time-short state both after the end of the 10R big hit gaming state or after the end of the small hit gaming state. However, as the effect mode that is executed after the end of the 10R big hit gaming state or after the end of the small hit gaming state, the probability variation latent mode in which it is difficult to determine whether the state is a high probability state is executed. In addition, the probability variation latency mode has two types of production modes, the probability variation latency A mode and the probability variation latency B mode, and is higher when entering the probability variation latency A mode than when entering the probability variation latency B mode. The degree of expectation that is a probability state is set to be high. In other words, when the 10R (left) latency probability variation big hit of 6 is specified when the low probability non-short-time state is controlled, the probability variation latency A mode and the probability variation latency B mode are larger than the case of the small hit. Among them, the probability of determining the probability variation latency A mode is increased.

  In the probability variation latent A mode described above, for example, the object detection means 2530 detects the movement of the player's hand, and by moving away the enemy characters displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 one after another, the ally character If it is a big hit, it will control the big hit gaming state according to the type of the big hit by succeeding in saving the ally's character. On the other hand, when it comes off, control is made so that the enemy characters are only rejected one after another, or the ally characters fail to be rescued. Further, in the probability variation latency B mode described above, for example, the liquid crystal display device 1900 performs an effect as to whether or not the ally character succeeds in capturing the enemy character. By succeeding in capturing the enemy character, it is controlled to the big hit gaming state according to the type of the big hit, but when it is out, the ally character can not find the enemy character, Or, even if a friendly character finds an enemy character, control is performed so as to fail to capture the enemy character.

  Further, when the type of jackpot is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of jackpot is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when a specific 1 15R (right) probability variation jackpot is determined, the first special symbol 15R (right) probability variation jackpot symbol is determined, and when a specific 2 10R (right) probability variation jackpot is determined. Is determined to be the 1R special symbol 10R (Right) probability variation jackpot design, and if it is determined to be a specific 3 15R (Right) rank increase probability variation jackpot, it is determined to be the first special symbol 15R (Right) rank increase probability variation jackpot symbol. If the 10R (left) probability variation jackpot of the specific 4 is determined, the 10R (left) probability variation jackpot of the first special symbol is determined, and if the 10R (left) probability variation jackpot of the specific 6 is determined, the second The 10R (left) latent probability variation jackpot symbol of one special symbol is determined, and if it is determined to be a non-specific 10R (left) normal jackpot, it is determined to be a 15R normal jackpot symbol of the first special symbol. On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S121, it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is set (step S124). If the small hit flag is set, the fluctuation of the first special symbol is stopped. If the small hitting flag is not set as the aspect of the first special symbol (step S126).

  After the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, as the processing of step S127, these lottery results (indicating either the type of big hit, the small hit, the reach out of the reach, or the outage (stop symbol of the first special symbol) The determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that the above-mentioned control method is transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010. Thereafter, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) as the process of step S128, the process is terminated. The peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the received determination result notification command and variation pattern command.

  Specifically, the peripheral control MPU 4140a sets a specific 1R 15R (right) probability change from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) at which the decoration symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is stopped. When the big hit is specified, it is determined to be the 15R (right) probable big hit symbol (a combination of the same decorative symbols of “gold”), and at the time when the variation time specified by the variation pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the game effect) Display control of the determined stop symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is performed. In this way, when the combination of the same decorative design of “gold” as the decorative design displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops variably, it is a specific 1 15R (right) probability variation big hit from the stopped design of the decorative design, It is possible to determine that the acquisition of the 15R big hit gaming state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 that has the largest number of rounds and is easy to win a game ball to the big winning opening 2103 is confirmed.

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU 4140a identifies a specific 10R (right) probable big hit out of the big hits from the received judgment result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) when the decoration symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are stopped. In this case, 10R (right) probability variation big hit symbol ("1", "3", "5", a combination of the same decorative symbols of the odd number of "7") is decided and 15R (right ) When a rank-up probability variation jackpot is specified, 15R (right) rank-up probability variation jackpot symbol ("1", "3", "5", "7" odd combination of the same decorative symbols. 10R (right) When the variation time specified from the variation pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the game effect), the liquid crystal display device 1900 controls display of the determined stop symbol. As described above, when the combination of the same odd number of “1”, “3”, “5”, and “7” as the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops changing, the decorative symbols are stopped. However, it is not possible to discriminate between the specific 2 10R (right) probability variation big hit and the specific 3 15R (right) rank up probability variation big hit, but the 15R big hit gaming state using the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 or the 10R big hit It can be determined that the high probability state is controlled after the gaming state is ended.

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU 4140a identifies a specific 10R (left) probable big hit out of the big hits from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) when the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are stopped. In this case, the 10R (left) probability change big hit symbol ("2", "4", even combination of the same decorative symbols of "6") is determined, and the 15R (left) rank up probability change of the big hit is specified. When a big hit is specified, it is determined to be a 15R (left) rank-up probability variation big hit symbol (a combination of an even number of the same decorative symbols of “2”, “4”, “6”. Common with 10R (left) probability variation big hit symbol) When a non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit is specified among the big hits, a combination of 10R (left) normal big hit symbols (even numbers of “2”, “4”, “6” and the same decorative symbols. (Left) Probability Ri symbol and determines common), and displays controls the determined stop symbols at the time lapse of the variation time specified from the variation pattern command (when the game effects termination) in the liquid crystal display device 1900. As described above, when the combination of the same decorative symbols of even numbers “2”, “4”, and “6” as the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is stopped variably, the specified symbols are selected from the stopped symbols of the decorative symbols. Any one of 10R (left) probability variation big hit, specific 5 15R (left) rank up probability variation big hit, and non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit cannot be determined, and the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550 Until the effect result in the 10R big hit gaming state (or 15R big hit gaming state) using is derived, it is not possible to determine whether or not to control to the high probability state after the end of these big hit gaming states.

  Further, the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines the 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit of the specific 6 out of the big hits from the received judgment result notification command as a mode (stopped symbol) when the decoration symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are stopped. If specified, the 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit symbol (predetermined combination of decorative symbols out of symbols (specifically, a combination of decorative symbols of “357”), specifically “decorative symbol combination”) When the hit is specified, it is determined as a small hit symbol (a combination of predetermined decorative symbols out of symbols (split), common with 10R (left) latency probability variation big hit symbol) and specified from the variation pattern command. The liquid crystal display device 1900 performs display control of the determined stop symbol when the fluctuation time elapses (when the game effect ends). As described above, when the combination of the decorative symbol “357” as the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops variably, any one of the 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit or the small hit from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is selected. The 10R jackpot gaming state (10R jackpot gaming state in which it is difficult to enter the game ball) using the second opening / closing member 2553 of the second attacker unit 2550, the liquid crystal even after the end. Since it is difficult to determine whether or not the display device 1400 is in a high probability state, it is impossible to determine whether or not to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state.

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU 4140a, as an aspect at the time of stopping the variation of the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 (stop symbol), if the reach error is specified from the received determination result notification command, the symbol with loss is included. (The combination of decorative designs that are not the same. However, the left and right decorative designs are the same.) If the outlier is specified, it is a detachable design that does not involve reach (a combination of decorative designs that are not the same. Are determined to be non-identical), and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900.

  FIG. 208 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 208, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets the big hit flag. If so (step S141), the type of jackpot determined in step S123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process and a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of jackpot according to the current gaming state are selected (step S141). If the small hit flag is set (step S143), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the small hit according to the current gaming state is selected (step S144), and the reach flag is set. (Step S145), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach according to the current gaming state When the big hit flag, the small hit flag, and the reach flag are not set, that is, when it is a normal loss (a failure where the reach effect is not executed), the fluctuation pattern table at the time of the loss (Not shown) is selected (step S147).

  Then, a variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S148), and the determined variation pattern is started. The variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 4010 is set, and the variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 is started (step S149). Further, the main control MPU 4100a sets a variation time set corresponding to the variation pattern determined to determine the variation pattern in the variation timer (step S150). As a result, the effect control is performed in the first special symbol display 1185 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 for the variation time thus determined.

  A plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided for each determination result based on special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). The variation patterns set in each variation pattern table include a plurality of variation time information indicating predetermined times (variation times) required for variation display control of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Each variable random number is stored in association with each other. Therefore, the main control MPU 4100a selects the variation pattern table selected from the plurality of types of variation pattern tables corresponding to the determination result based on the special random number and the design random number, and the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process. And the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is obtained from this table, thereby determining the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 4100a.

  In addition, in the variation pattern table at the time of reach in this example, the type of reach effect to be executed is compared by comparing a determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with a variable random number, as in the above-described prior determination table. Is set to determine. Specifically, 164 types of variable random numbers coincide with a determination value (0-163) indicating that any one of the normal reach effects is executed, and 59 types of variable random numbers are any of the super reach effects with a low expectation degree of jackpot. Match with a determination value (164-222) indicating execution of, and match with a determination value (223-240) indicating that one of the 18 kinds of variable random numbers executes one of the super-reaching effects having a high expectation degree of jackpot As described above, the above random numbers are associated with each other. The super reach production has a higher degree of expectation of jackpot than the normal reach production, and when the super reach production is executed, the player's degree of expectation for the big hit gaming state is increased.

  When the variable display control of the first special symbol is started, it is next determined in step S151 whether or not the counter value of the short time counter in which the short time state continuation number is set is “0”. To do. If the counter value is not “0”, the time counter is counted down (step S152), and it is further determined whether the counter value of the simultaneous short counter is “0” (step S153). . As a result, if the counter value is “0”, a time reduction end flag indicating that the control of the time reduction state is ended is set (step S154).

  If it is determined in the process of step S151 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is “0”, or if it is determined in the process of step S153 that the time reduction counter is not “0”, At the time, the process proceeds to step S155. Then, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol variation processing (step S83) (step S155), the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 209 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation processing is to be performed, as shown in FIG. 209, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S171. As the process, 1 is subtracted from the variation timer in which the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the variation pattern is set. If it is determined that the variation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery variation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, in the process of step S173, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S84), this process is terminated.

  FIG. 210 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 211, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S181. As the processing, display control for causing the first special symbol display 641 to display the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing is performed, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 has the first special symbol. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 4010 (step S182).

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 resets the time reduction flag (step S184) and resets the time reduction flag (step S185) when the time reduction completion flag is set (step S183). As a result, the control in the low-probability short-time state is terminated and the control in the low-probability non-short-time state (normal state) is started.

  Further, when the big hit flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is started (step S187). The waiting time until the start of the state (the time for displaying the effect of starting the big hit gaming state) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Then, the big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set and the time-short flag is reset (step S189), and the first special symbol process flag is set to the first special symbol normal process which is the initial value. When the process is updated so as to be transferred (step S190), this process is terminated. The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010. The jackpot type (15R (right) per high probability short-time, 10R (right) per high-probability short-time, 15R (right) rank-up high-probability short-time 10R (left) per high probability short time, 15R (left) rank up per high probability short time per 10R (left) high probability non-short time per 10R (left) low probability per short time) . In step S187, the type of jackpot (15R (right) per high probability short-time, 10R (right) per high-probability short-time, 15R (right) rank-up high-probability short-time, 10R (left) high-probability short-time, 15R (left) Big hit start command (15R (right) high probability short time start command, 10R (right) high probability) per rank up high probability short time per 10R (left) high probability non-short time per 10R (left) low probability short time per) Short-time start command, 15R (right) rank up high probability short-time start command, 10R (left) high-probability short-time start command, 15R (left) rank-up high-probability short-time start command, 10R (left) high probability non-short-time Hit start command, 10R (left) low probability short start hit command). Thereby, the effect of the big hit gaming state according to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit start command is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED and the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like.

  On the other hand, when the small hit flag is set (step S191), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a small hit start command indicating that the small hit gaming state is started (step S192). Then, the waiting time until the start of the small hit gaming state (the time for displaying to start the small hit gaming state) is set in the interval timer (step S193). Then, a small hitting execution flag indicating that the small hitting gaming state is being executed is set (step S194), and the first special symbol process flag is shifted to the first special symbol normal process which is the initial value. When updated to (step S190), this process is terminated. The small hitting start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010. In step S195, the small hitting start command is set, so that the effect of the small hitting gaming state instructed by the small hitting start command is liquid crystal. It is executed by the display device 1900, lamps / LEDs, speakers 130, 222, 262, and the like.

[6. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described. FIG. 211 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 211, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In the initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) ends, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 4140a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 ms elapses While the flag T is set, a 16 ms progress monitoring counter is reset (set to 0). As described above, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process for controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262, and the like based on a command received from the main control board 4100 is executed. When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, if the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), the loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 212 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the processes of step S601 to step S606. In the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S147 of the first fluctuation pattern setting process, the process corresponding to the first fluctuation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process process (second fluctuation pattern setting process)). Control processing related to the liquid crystal display device 1900 is executed based on reception of the variation pattern command transmitted by being set.

  In the sound control process in step S603, a control process related to the speakers 130, 222, and 262 is executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, a control process related to lamps / LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process in step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the lamp driving substrate 3013 is executed. In the random number update process in step S606, a process of updating random numbers (for example, pre-read random numbers) used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S601-step S606 in a 16 ms regular process is complete | finished within 16 ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady process to the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is immediately executed from the beginning when the 16 ms has elapsed since the start of the 16 ms steady process (command of step S601). Do not execute (from analysis process). That is, when 16 ms elapses during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 ms elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is performed. To start.

  In this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) is executed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers. However, the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is limited to this. Is not something For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop process in the sub-main process and the 16 ms steady process.

[7. Prayer reach production using object detection means]
In this embodiment, as part of the reach production using the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like, the prayer reach production that can execute the production rewarded for the prayer action when it is determined that the player has performed the prayer action. Running. In this prayer reach production, if it is determined that the player has performed an action contrary to prayer instead of a prayer action, it is also possible to execute an effect that rewards the action contrary to prayer. In addition, as a target of the remuneration for the action of prayer or not (prayer action or an action contrary to prayer), the effect executed after detecting the prayer or not action in the prayer reach production corresponds. For example, in the final stage of the prayer reach production, a notification effect (a jackpot notification effect or a miss notification effect) for notifying the player whether or not the lottery result is a big win, or a decorative design in which the variation display of the decorative design is stopped in the notification effect Not only the stop symbol of the game, but also the big hit game effect executed during the control of the big hit game state triggered by the fact that the lottery result is a big hit, the transition to the big hit game state, and the current game state is notified Examples of mode effects that can be performed.

  This prayer reach production will be described with reference to FIGS. 213 to 218. FIG. 213 and FIG. 214 are flowcharts showing a prayer reach effect control process executed by the peripheral control board 4010 that controls the liquid crystal display device 1900. FIG. 215 is an explanatory diagram showing regions that can be detected by the object detection means 2530 (upper object detection sensor 2531, left object detection sensor 2532, right object detection sensor 2533, lower object detection sensor 2534) of the center accessory 2500. It is. 216 to 218 are specific effect images in the liquid crystal display device 1900 when the prayer reach effect is executed.

  As shown in FIGS. 213 and 214, in the prayer reach effect control process executed in the effect control process in step S602, first, when it is determined to execute the prayer reach effect as part of the reach effect, the prayer is given. Reach production start control. Specifically, when a command signal related to the variation pattern is received from the main control board 4100 side, it is determined whether or not the reach effect set in the variation pattern is a prayer reach effect (step S801). If it is determined in step S801 that the reach effect set in the variation pattern is a prayer reach effect (YES), steps S802 to S803 are executed, and if it is determined that the reach effect is not a prayer reach effect (NO), Instead of starting the prayer reach production, the process proceeds to step S806.

  In step S802, the effective period that can be detected by the object detection means 2530 during a part of the effect period of the prayer reach effect (a period linked to the image display indicating whether to stop display with the jackpot symbol or the off symbol). (In this embodiment, about 5 seconds) is set (step S802). Then, the execution of the prayer reach production is started (step S803).

  By the way, in the reach production, as a production partially similar to the prayer reach production, the player does not perform the prayer movement and is stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 with either the big hit symbol or the off symbol. Prayer reach production is set. In this non-prayer reach effect, for example, after the reach state is formed, an effect is performed as to whether or not a big hit symbol remains on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as a decorative symbol that has not been stopped and displayed. , Once the off symbol remains, the temporary stop display is displayed, but it is controlled to revivally switch to the big hit symbol and display the stop.On the other hand, when it comes off, the off symbol remains and the stop display is displayed. Is controlling. That is, even when a big hit is made, as a result of the effect of whether or not the big hit symbol remains, as in the case of a loss, the control is performed so that the lost symbol remains and a temporary stop display is performed. On the other hand, in the prayer reach production at the time of the big hit, until the production of whether or not the big hit symbol is left on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the final stage of whether or not the big hit symbol remains is executed. When it is determined that a prayer action has been performed, control is performed so that the jackpot symbol remains and is displayed without going through the temporary stop display of the off symbol. In the prayer reach production, the production period (fluctuation time) is set longer than the non-pray reach production for the time (valid period) for the player to perform the prayer action. However, in prayer reach production, the non-prayer reach production and the production period (fluctuation time) may be set the same. In this case, a time for the player to perform the prayer action (valid period) is provided. Regardless of whether or not the game is performed, it is possible to make it difficult to determine whether or not the player should perform the prayer action by continuously performing the effect of whether or not the big hit symbol remains.

  The variation pattern for which the reach effect is set is determined by the first variation pattern setting process or the second variation pattern setting process on the main control board 4100 side, and is based on the current gaming state and the lottery result. When the variation pattern is determined from the variation pattern table, a command signal related to the variation pattern is transmitted from the main control board 4100 side to the peripheral control board 4010 side. In the above prayer reach production, the expectation calculated from the appearance rate at the time of big hit and off (the expectation level of the big hit, the appearance rate at the time of the big hit / (the appearance rate at the time of the big hit + the appearance rate at the time of the loss)) is the reach production The variation pattern in which the prayer reach production is set is determined from the variation pattern table so as to be highest. In other words, prayer reach production has higher expectations than non-prayer reach production, and it can increase the expectation that the lottery result will be a big hit at the stage of recognizing that it is prayer reach production rather than non-prayer reach production . In the prayer reach production, the expectation is the highest in the reach production, and the player's willingness to perform the prayer action can be increased.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, the object detection means 2530 is used as a detection method for the player's prayer movement, but the upper object detection sensor 2531, the left object detection sensor 2532, the right object detection sensor 2533, and the lower object detection sensor 2534. It is estimated whether or not the player is performing a prayer action by measuring the time continuously detected by any one of the above. At this time, as the player's prayer behavior with respect to the object detection means 2530, for example, while praying for a big hit, the player is strictly on the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by the object detection means 2530. Situation where people are worshiping as if they are holding their hands together (actually, it is difficult for one hand to move away from the handle device 500 to rotate the handle device 500, and it is worshiped with the remaining one hand instead of both hands. ), And the player needs not only to pray in his / her heart but also to take a specific action that the player prays. In the present embodiment, the player performs a prayer operation when any one or more of the object detection means 2530 continues to detect for a predetermined time or more (in this embodiment, 3 seconds or more) within the effective period. Judging.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 215, the region that can be detected by the object detection unit 2530 includes the front surface and the periphery of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by the upper object detection sensor 2531. Upper region RGNA, front left region RGNB of liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by left object detection sensor 2532, front right region RGNC of liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by right object detection sensor 2533, and lower object A region RGND on the lower front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by the detection sensor 2534 is configured. In the region where a plurality of object detection sensors overlap in the object detection means 2530, the plurality of object detection sensors detect when the player's hand is positioned. The movement of the player's hand can be determined by tracking the object detection sensor that has detected the player's hand among the plurality of object detection sensors constituting the object detection means 2530. When the object detection unit 2530 is used in the above-described prayer reach production, a situation is created in which the player strictly touches the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and any one or more of the object detection units 2530 are created. It is desirable that the detection is continuously fixed, but it is permitted even if the player moves his hand slightly and one or more of the detections of the object detection means 2530 is changed. Judging that it is moving. On the other hand, if one or more detections of the object detection means 2530 are frequently changed, the player is shaking hands in all directions on the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the player performs a prayer action. Judging not to go.

  Further, when the player's prayer behavior is detected by the object detection means 2530, the central lens 282 (in the LED 286a) of the upper decoration unit 280 located above the liquid crystal display device 1900 is directed toward the player. Although the light is irradiated, the detection time is set to continuously increase and the light irradiated toward the player side is gradually increased. Further, when the player's prayer behavior is detected by the object detection means 2530, a situation is created in which the player is strictly handed on the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the player's eyes It may be closed and praying, and the player may not notice even if light is emitted toward the player. For this reason, when the player's prayer behavior is detected by the object detection means 2530, not only is light emitted toward the player side, but a sound "shoe" is output from the speaker 821, The sound output is set to increase step by step as the detection time continuously elapses. As described above, when the player's prayer behavior is detected by the object detection unit 2530, the object detection unit 2530 is notified even if the player performs a prayer operation by notifying the player of that fact. Can dispel the suspicion that is not detected. Further, when the time detected by the object detection means 2530 continuously elapses, the light emitted toward the player is increased stepwise or the sound output is increased stepwise. The player's expectation for the result of the prayer reach production can be improved step by step. In the present embodiment, as the stage where light is emitted toward the player side and the stage where sound is output, the time during which the player's prayer behavior is detected by the object detection means 2530 is continuously detected. Three stages are set as time passes, indicating that the player's prayer behavior has been detected steadily, giving the player a sense of security, but irradiating towards the player side The light output and the sound output may be set not to be stepwise but gradually (gradually) stronger.

  Further, in the present embodiment, during the effective period set for the prayer reach effect, the liquid crystal display device 1900 should make a notification regarding the start of detection by the object detection means 2530 (for example, pray to the object detection means 2530. Image) is not displayed. For this reason, even if the prayer reach production is executed, it is not possible to determine whether or not the effective period has started, and it is desired that the player voluntarily perform the prayer movement. When the player's prayer behavior is detected by the detection means 2530, light is emitted from the upper decoration unit 280 toward the player side, or sound is output from the speaker 821. Can be recognized. In addition, for example, a notification regarding the start of detection by the object detection means 2530 may be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 only for a part of the prayer reach effect at the time of the big hit. According to this, when a notification regarding the start of detection by the object detection means 2530 is made, if the player actually performs a prayer action, the player will be notified that the lottery result is a big hit. In order to make the lottery result a big hit, it can be assumed that the player should perform a prayer action. Therefore, when the prayer reach effect is executed, even if the liquid crystal display device 1900 does not display the notification regarding the start of detection by the object detection means 2530, the player voluntarily performs the prayer action. The player will not be passively praying for the prayer reach, and the player will not be uncomfortable.

  Next, in the prayer reach production control process, when the valid period set for the prayer reach production ends, it is determined whether or not the prayer action was performed within the valid period, and the prayer action is reported. As the production, the control related to the notification production is made to notify the player whether or not the lottery result is a big hit. Specifically, it is determined whether or not it is the end of the effective period that can be detected with respect to the player's prayer action (step S806), and when it is determined that it is the end of the effective period. (YES), it is determined whether or not the lottery result is a big hit (step S807). If it is determined that it is not the end of the valid period (NO), the process proceeds to step S818 without executing the processes of steps S807 to S817.

  If it is determined in step S807 that the lottery result is a big hit (YES), 3 seconds within the effective period to determine how the player's prayer action was performed on the object detection means 2530. Whether one or more of the object detection means 2530 continuously detected, one or more of the object detection means 2530 detected but less than 3 seconds, or the object detection means 2530 did not detect, Although any one or more of the detection means 2530 has detected, it is determined whether the detected object detection sensor among the plurality of object detection sensors is frequently changed.

  In step S808, if one or more of the object detection means 2530 continues to detect for at least 3 seconds within the effective period to clear a predetermined condition (YES), the player performs a prayer action. As a jackpot notification effect that judges that the lottery result has been won and notifies the player that the lottery result is a big hit The special jackpot notification effect having a gorgeous content is changed from the normal jackpot notification effect and starts to be executed (step S809). In addition, if any one of the plurality of object detection sensors detected by one or more of the object detection means 2530 within the effective period in step S810 is frequently changed (YES), the player It is determined that the player has performed an action that is contrary to prayer, and in the same way as the out-notification effect that notifies the player that the lottery result is out, The off notification effect is changed from the normal jackpot notification effect and starts to be executed (step S811). If at least one of the object detection means 2530 detects within the effective period in step S810 but is less than 3 seconds or not detected (NO), it is determined that the player's prayer movement is insufficient. Then, the execution of the normal jackpot notification effect is started (step S812). The normal jackpot notification effect is a jackpot notification effect that can be executed even in a reach effect (for example, a non-prayer reach effect) that can be selected during a big hit other than the prayer reach effect.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S807 that the lottery result is out (NO), the player's prayer operation is performed on the object detection means 2530, as in the case of determining that it is a big hit. Judging.

  In step S813, if one or more of the object detection means 2530 detects that one or more of the object detection means 2530 continuously detects a valid period (YES), the player performs a prayer action. It is judged that the lottery has been performed, and the player will be notified that the lottery result is out. In response to this, the special out-of-notification effect, which is the content of the effect including an apology, is changed from the normal out-of-notification effect and starts to be executed (step S814). In addition, when any one of the plurality of object detection sensors detected by one or more of the object detection means 2530 within the effective period in step S815 is frequently changed (YES), the player Judged that the action was contrary to prayer, and it did not appear in the reach direction that can be selected when it was out of prayer reach, and the player did the action contrary to prayer. By notifying in this way, the minimum off notification effect, which is the content of the effect that the player regrets, is changed from the normal out notification effect and starts to be executed (step S816). If at least one of the object detection means 2530 detects within the effective period in step S815 but is less than 3 seconds or has not been detected (NO), execution of a normal off notification effect is started (step S817). . The normal off notification effect is an out notification effect that can be executed even in a reach effect that can be selected at a time other than the prayer reach effect (for example, a non-pray reach effect).

  As described above, the variation pattern in which the prayer reach effect is set is determined by the first variation pattern setting process or the second variation pattern setting process on the main control board 4100 side, and the command signal related to the variation pattern is A prayer reach effect is executed by being transmitted from the main control board 4100 side to the peripheral control board 4010 side. This prayer reach production includes a normal jackpot notification effect at the time of a big hit and a normal outage notification effect at the time of a loss, and the peripheral control board 4010 side performs an operation of whether or not it is a prayer within a valid period (a prayer operation or a prayer). When it is determined that you have performed an action that is contrary to the above), the change time set in the change pattern (the effect time of the prayer reach effect) is not changed, and in the case of a big hit, the special jackpot notification effect or the pseudo miss The notification effect is changed to a normal out-notification effect or a minimum out-notification effect at the time of disengagement. In other words, in order to keep the variation time set in the variation pattern (the production time of the prayer reach production) constant, the normal jackpot notification production is set to the same production time as the special jackpot notification production and the pseudo miss notification production, and the normal outage notification is performed. The production is set to the same production time as the special off-notification production and the minimum off-notification production. As described above, when it is determined that the operation of prayer is performed within the effective period, the effect is changed from the normal jackpot notification effect or the normal loss notification effect on the peripheral control board 4010 side, so that on the main control board 4100 side. The control burden can be reduced.

  In addition, as described above, when the object detection unit 2530 is used as a detection method for the player's prayer movement, any one or more of the object detection units 2530 detect for 3 seconds or more within the effective period. In this case, it is considered that the player is praying for a big hit, and that the player is strictly holding the hand on the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and it is determined that the player is praying. In addition, if any one or more of the object detection means 2530 detects but is less than 3 seconds, or if the object detection means 2530 does not detect, it does not pray that it will be a big hit, and the liquid crystal display device The situation where the player is not seriously dealing with the front of 1900 is considered, and it is determined that the player's prayer movement is insufficient. In addition, if any one of the plurality of object detection sensors detected by any one or more of the object detection means 2530 is frequently changed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 does not pray that it will be a big hit. It is considered that the player continues to act dishonestly, such as the player waving his hand in all directions, and the player is performing an action contrary to prayer.

  Also, in the jackpot notification effect included in the prayer reach production, it is judged whether or not the prayer action was performed within the effective period, and when the prayer action or the action contrary to the prayer was performed, the normal jackpot notice production It is possible to execute a jackpot notification effect (including a hit notification effect) different from the above. For example, for a player who has determined that a prayer action has been performed, it is highly appreciated that the player prayed seriously in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by the object detection means 2530, and a normal jackpot notification effect is provided. However, it is possible to give an impression as if the player's prayer has been communicated by executing a special jackpot notification effect with a gorgeous performance. In addition, for a player who has determined that an action contrary to prayer has been performed, it is badly evaluated that the player has continued dishonest behavior in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and even without performing a normal jackpot notification effect. By executing the hit / notice notification effect that gives notification as if it was a miss, it is possible to give the impression that there will be no big hit unless converted.

  On the other hand, the out-of-call notification production included in the prayer reach production also determines whether or not the prayer movement was performed within the effective period, and when the prayer movement or the movement contrary to the prayer was carried out, the normal out-of-road notification production is performed. It is possible to execute an off notification effect different from the above. For example, for a player who has determined that a prayer action has been performed, the lottery result is unfortunately not a big hit, but the player seriously prayed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 that the object detection means 2530 can detect. In return, it is possible to relieve the feeling of despair that the player's prayer has not been delivered by executing a special out-of-order notification effect with an apology. Further, for a player who has determined that an action contrary to prayer has been performed, it is badly evaluated that the player has continued dishonest behavior in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and even without performing a normal off-notification effect. By notifying the player as if the lottery result was out of order because the player performed an action contrary to prayer, the player performed If you are moving, you can feel regret that the lottery result might have been a big hit.

  Note that, as described above, the prayer reach production is set so that the expectation level (the jackpot expectation level) is the highest among the reach productions. For this reason, as a result of the prayer reach production, the rate of executing the off notification effect is reduced, and the rate of executing the special out notification effect when the prayer action is performed is also reduced. In other words, when a prayer action is performed, the rate of executing the special jackpot notification effect is relatively higher than that of the special outage notification effect, and the execution of the special outage notification effect is prevented as much as possible, and the player's prayer can be communicated. The impression that it is a possible gaming machine 1 can be given. In addition, for the surrounding players, there is a possibility that the object detection means 2530 may feel that the scene in which the player is praying is different, but when the prayer operation is performed, The ratio of executing the special jackpot notification effect is relatively higher than the special miss notification effect. For this reason, as long as prayer action is performed, the impression that the lottery result will be a big win can be given, and when prayer reach production is performed, the surrounding players will also be motivated to perform prayer actions Can be made.

  Further, as described above, in the prayer reach production, when the object detection unit 2530 is not detected within the effective period, it is detected by any one or more of the object detection units 2530 but is less than 3 seconds. The normal jackpot notification effect or the normal off notification effect is executed. For example, if the object detection means 2530 has not been detected within the effective period, it is determined that the player has not performed any prayer movement and has performed an action contrary to prayer. Although the minimum off notification effect may be executed, the object detection means 2530 may be damaged during the game. In consideration of this, even if the object detection unit 2530 is damaged, the player can pray by executing the normal big hit notification effect or the normal off notification effect because the object detection unit 2530 is not detected within the effective period. Even though the above operation is performed, there is no disadvantage such as performing the hit / notify effect or the minimum miss notification effect.

  Next, in the prayer reach production control process, if the notification production executed as a result of the prayer reach production is a jackpot notification production (including a hit notification production), the effective period set for the prayer reach production after the end. The determination on whether or not a prayer action has been performed has an effect, and control related to the jackpot game effect executed during the control of the jackpot game state is performed as an effect rewarding the action of prayer or not. Specifically, it is determined whether or not it is the start of the big hit gaming state triggered by the fact that the lottery result is a big hit (step S818), and if it is determined that it is the start of the big hit gaming state ( YES), the execution of the jackpot game effect corresponding to the jackpot notification effect (including the hit notification effect) executed in steps S809, S811, and S812 is started (step S819). That is, when the special jackpot notification effect is executed in step S809, it does not appear in the jackpot game effect that can be executed at the time of the big hit other than the prayer reach effect, and the production content is more luxurious than the normal jackpot game effect. Yes, a jackpot game effect similar in taste to the special jackpot notification effect is executed. In addition, when the hit-notification effect is executed in step S811, it does not appear in the big hit game effect that can be executed at the time of the big hit other than the prayer reach effect, and this is shown even though the big hit game state is being controlled. Execute a jackpot game production that does not feel. When the normal jackpot notification effect is executed in step S812, the normal jackpot game effect is executed. Note that the normal jackpot game effect is an effect equivalent to a jackpot game effect that can be executed during a big hit other than the prayer reach effect (for example, a jackpot game effect after execution of the non-prayer reach effect).

  As described above, in the jackpot game effect that is executed during the control of the jackpot game state after the end of the prayer reach effect, it is determined whether or not the prayer action is performed within the effective period set in the prayer reach effect. When a prayer action or an action contrary to prayer is performed, it is possible to execute a jackpot game effect different from the normal jackpot game effect. For example, for a player who has determined that a prayer action has been performed, it is highly appreciated that the player has prayed seriously in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 that can be detected by the object detection means 2530, and a normal jackpot game effect is achieved. It is possible to give the impression that the jackpot gaming state has been acquired thanks to the player's prayer, by executing the jackpot game production that is different in the production contents and similar in taste to the special jackpot notification production . In addition, for a player who has determined that an action contrary to prayer has been performed, it is evaluated badly that the player has continued dishonest behavior in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and even a normal jackpot game effect is performed. In addition, by executing a jackpot gaming effect that does not feel that the jackpot gaming state is being controlled, it is not possible to improve the fun while the jackpot gaming state is being controlled, and the player performs a prayer action I can regret not having it.

  Next, in the prayer reach production control process, if the notification production executed as a result of the prayer reach production is a jackpot notification production (including a hit notification production), the effective period set for the prayer reach production after the end. The determination of whether or not a prayer action was performed affects the movement, and as an effect that rewards the action of prayer or not, the transition is made after the end of the jackpot gaming state, and the current gaming state may be notified. Performs control related to possible mode effects. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the big hit gaming state has ended (step S820). If it is determined that the big hit gaming state has ended (YES), the lottery result in the prayer reach effect is a big hit A mode effect is started according to whether the probability big hit or the normal big hit is triggered, and the jackpot notification effect (including the hit notification effect) executed in steps S809, S811, and S812 (step S821). .

  By the way, in the prayer reach production, the lottery result is a probable big hit (specific 1 15R (right) probable big hit, specific 2 10R (right) probable big hit, specific 3 15R (right) rank up probable big win, specific 4 10R (left) probable big hit, specific 5 15R (left) rank up probable big hit, etc.) In principle, the mode effect shifts (continues) to the probability changing mode indicating that the high-probability time-short state control is being performed. In other words, when the special jackpot notification effect is executed in step S809 (eg, the probability variation jackpot symbol of “777” is directly stopped and displayed), and the normal jackpot notification effect is executed in step S812 (eg, out of “767”). When the probability change big hit symbol of “777” is stopped and displayed via the temporary stop display of the symbol), as the mode effect after the end of the big hit gaming state, the probability change indicating that the high probability short-time state is being controlled Run the mode. However, in the case where a hit notification effect is executed in step S811 (for example, the “767” winning symbol is stopped and displayed), the mode effect after the end of the big hit gaming state is being controlled in a high-probability short-time state. Also, the normal mode indicating that the low probability non-short-time state (normal state) is being controlled is executed.

  On the other hand, in the prayer reach production, if the lottery result is a normal big hit (non-specific 10R (left) normal big hit, etc.) among the big wins, a low probability short-time state (short time) after the big hit game production ends. In principle, the mode effect shifts (continues) to the time-short / medium mode indicating that the low-probability time-short state is being controlled. In other words, when the special jackpot notification effect is executed in step S809 (for example, the normal jackpot symbol of “666” is directly stopped and displayed), and the normal jackpot notification effect is executed in step S812 (for example, out of “656”). When the normal jackpot symbol of “666” is stopped and displayed via a temporary stop display of symbols), the mode effect after the end of the jackpot gaming state indicates that the low probability time-short state is being controlled. Run the mode. However, in the case where the hit notification effect is executed in step S811 (for example, the “656” winning symbol is stopped and displayed), the mode effect after the end of the big hit gaming state is being controlled in the low-probability short-time state. Also, the normal mode indicating that the low probability non-short-time state (normal state) is being controlled is executed.

  As described above, in the mode production that transitions after the end of the big hit gaming state and can notify the current gaming state, was the prayer operation performed within the validity period set in the prayer reach production? In principle, when the action of deciding whether or not the action is in conflict with the prayer, the mode production should shift (continue) to the mode of mode change or mode of time reduction (continue). Making it possible. For example, for a player who has determined that an action contrary to prayer has been performed, the object detection means 2530 is badly evaluated that the player has continued dishonest behavior, and the mode production is in the mode of mode change or in the short time. By shifting (continuing) to the normal mode without shifting (continuing) to the mode, it becomes difficult to recognize that while controlling the high-probability short-time state and low-probability short-time state, The interest cannot be improved, and the player can feel remorse for not praying.

  A specific example of the prayer reach production will be described with reference to FIGS. 216 to 218. In this production example, the reach production set in the variation pattern executes the prayer reach production at the time of the big hit, and after the big hit notification production (including the hit notification production) included in the prayer reach production is controlled to the big hit gaming state. The case where a big hit game effect is executed is shown.

  FIG. 216 is a specific effect image on the liquid crystal display device 1900 when it is determined that the player's prayer movement is insufficient or the player does not perform the prayer movement at the time of the big hit. is there. As shown in FIG. 216 (A), in the prayer reach production triggered by the fact that the decorative symbol variation display has reached the reach state (in this production example, the reach of “7” is illustrated), FIG. 216 (B) As shown in the figure, as an effect similar to the non-prayer reach effect, a jackpot symbol as a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 (in the present example, a jackpot symbol of “7” is illustrated) or a missed symbol (In this production example, the production of which “6” off symbol is illustrated) remains. For example, in non-prayer reach production, the player does not perform a prayer action, and at the time of a big hit, control is performed to temporarily stop and display a temporary stop symbol, but to revive and switch to a big hit symbol On the other hand, at the time of detachment, control is performed so that the detachment symbol remains and is stopped and displayed.

  Next, in the prayer reach production, an effective period that can be detected with respect to the player's prayer motion is started, but prayer behavior is performed with respect to the object detection means 2530 as a detection method for the player's prayer motion. There is no display of an image to the effect. For this reason, even if the prayer reach effect is executed, it cannot be determined whether or not the effective period has started, and it is desired that the player voluntarily perform the prayer action. When the player's prayer behavior is detected, light is emitted from the central lens 282 (in the LED 286a) of the upper decoration unit 280 located above the liquid crystal display device 1900 toward the player, or a speaker. By outputting a sound “shoe” from 821, it can be recognized that it is within the valid period.

  Next, in the prayer reach production, the effective period ends, and it is judged whether or not the prayer action was performed within the effective period, and in principle, a big hit notification effect that notifies the player that the lottery result is a big hit (Including a hit / notification effect). During the effective period, when the player is praying, the object detection means 2530 continuously detects the central lens 282 of the upper decoration unit 280 positioned above the liquid crystal display device 1900. The light emitted from the LED 286a toward the player is increased stepwise, or the sound output from the speaker 821 is increased stepwise. Thereby, it can be shown that the player's prayer behavior is steadily detected by the object detection means 2530, and a sense of security can be given to the player. On the other hand, if the player stops the prayer action in the middle, the object detection means 2530 will not detect it, and the game will be played from the central lens 282 (in the LED 286a) of the upper decoration unit 280 located above the liquid crystal display device 1900. The light emitted toward the person side is turned off, and the sound output from the speaker 821 is muted.

  Specifically, when any one or more of the object detection means 2530 detects within the effective period, but is less than 3 seconds or not detected, a normal jackpot notification effect is displayed as shown in FIG. 216 (C). As a result of the effect of whether or not the jackpot symbol remains on the liquid crystal display device 1900 by executing, the variation display of the decorative symbol is removed and the temporary stop display is performed with the symbol (in the present example, the symbol “767” is illustrated) To do. However, as shown in FIG. 216 (D), the decorative symbol variation display is temporarily removed and temporarily stopped and displayed as a symbol, but it is revived to a big hit symbol (in this production example, a big hit symbol of “7” is illustrated). By switching to a stop display, the player is notified that the lottery result has been a big hit as a result of the prayer reach production. Next, after the normal big hit notification effect is finished, the game is controlled to the big hit game state, and, as shown in FIG. 216 (E), the big hit game effect corresponding to the normal big hit notification effect is executed to appear during the effect. An image of the characters that can be used and the number of rounds are displayed. In this way, for a player who has judged that the prayer action was insufficient, an effect that can be executed even during a big hit other than the prayer reach production is performed from the big hit notification production to the big hit game production after the end of the effective period By doing so, the interest is not improved but does not decrease compared to the big hits other than prayer reach production. However, in the normal jackpot notification effect, when the decorative symbol change display is removed and the temporary stop display is performed with the symbol, the notification is made as if the lottery result has been lost, until it is revivally switched to the jackpot symbol and the display is stopped. May regret that the player's prayer action was insufficient or that the player did not perform the prayer action.

  FIG. 217 is a specific effect image on the liquid crystal display device 1900 when it is determined that the player has performed the prayer action for the prayer reach effect at the time of the big hit. Since FIGS. 217 (A) and (B) are the same effects as FIGS. 216 (A) and (B), description thereof will be omitted, and description will be made with reference only to FIGS. 217 (C) to (E).

  Specifically, when any one or more of the object detection means 2530 detects for 3 seconds or more within the effective period, a special jackpot notification effect is executed as shown in FIG. 217 (C). Thus, as a result of the effect of whether or not the jackpot symbol remains on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the decorative symbol variation display is not temporarily stopped and displayed as a decorative symbol without changing the decorative symbol variation display like the normal jackpot notification effect. A big hit symbol (in this production example, a big hit symbol “7” is illustrated) is stopped and displayed. Thus, the player is notified that the lottery result is a big hit as a result of the prayer reach production. Then, in the special jackpot notification effect, as shown in FIG. 217 (D), the afterglow is given to the character such as Shinto Buddha and the character such as Shinto An image in which a large number of human characters are gathered around is displayed so as to be guided by the rear light. Further, the central lens 282 (in the LED 286a) of the upper decoration unit 280 located above the liquid crystal display device 1900 is directed toward the player side so as to be stronger than the light stepwise increased during the effective period. By irradiating with light, it can be linked with the effect image and made to feel as if it is actually illuminated by the back light. Next, after the special jackpot notification effect is finished, the game is controlled to the big hit game state and, as shown in FIG. 217 (E), by executing the jackpot game effect according to the special jackpot notification effect, In addition, an image in which the character is happy surrounded by many treasures is displayed so that the production contents are more gorgeous. In this way, for a player who has determined that a prayer action has been performed, the prayer action can be performed by performing an effect different from the normal from the jackpot notification effect to the jackpot game effect after the end of the effective period. In return for what has been done, it is possible to make the player feel as if an effect that can make him happy is obtained, and to give the impression that the player's prayer is understood.

  As described above, in the normal jackpot notification effect, as a result of the effect as to whether or not the big hit symbol remains on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the variation display of the decorative symbol is temporarily removed and temporarily stopped with the symbol, and then the big hit symbol is revived. In contrast to the special jackpot notification effect, the change display of the decorative symbol is directly stopped and displayed in the big hit symbol without going through the temporary stop indication of the off symbol. In this way, it is presumed that the player who has judged that the prayer movement has been performed is strongly hoped that the lottery result will be a big hit. However, since the discouragement is large and severe as much as strongly desired, the decorative symbol variation display is removed as in the normal jackpot notification effect, and the temporary stop display is not performed with the symbol. In addition, for a player who has determined that a prayer action has been performed, a special jackpot notification effect is executed, so that the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed at the temporary stop display timing of the off symbol in the normal jackpot notification effect. The jackpot symbol stop display timing is earlier than the jackpot notification effect, but immediately after the player performs the prayer action, the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed to give the impression that the player's prayer has been communicated. Can do.

  When it is determined that the player has performed the prayer action, the peripheral control board 4010 changes the normal jackpot notification effect to the special jackpot notification effect and executes the change time ( In order to make the prayer reach production time) constant, the normal jackpot notification effect and the special jackpot notification effect included in the prayer reach production are set to the same production time. In other words, in the special jackpot notification effect, the stop display timing of the jackpot symbol is advanced earlier than the normal jackpot notification effect, but the time corresponding to the effect time for switching to the jackpot symbol revivally and displaying the stoppage in the normal jackpot notification effect By performing the effect as shown in FIG. 217 (D), the normal jackpot notification effect and the special jackpot notification effect included in the prayer reach effect can be set to the same effect time.

  FIG. 218 is a specific effect image on the liquid crystal display device 1900 when it is determined that the player has performed an operation contrary to prayer for the prayer reach effect at the time of the big hit. Since FIGS. 218 (A) and (B) are the same effects as FIGS. 216 (A) and (B), description thereof will be omitted, and description will be made with reference to only FIGS. 218 (C) to (E).

  Specifically, when any one of the plurality of object detection sensors detected by any one or more of the object detection means 2530 within the effective period is frequently changed, FIG. 218 (C) As shown in the figure, by performing the hit notification effect, the decorative symbol change display is displayed in the same manner as the normal jackpot notification effect, and the temporary stop display is performed with the symbol (in the present effect example, “767” is shown as an example). . However, as shown in FIG. 218 (D), without changing to the big win symbol like the normal jackpot notification effect and displaying the stop, the variation display of the decorative symbol is removed (“767” in this effect example). The display is stopped as it is. In this way, by changing the display of the decorative symbols and displaying the symbols in a stopped state, the player is notified as if the lottery result has been lost as a result of the prayer reach even though the lottery result is a big hit. Then, after the end of the hit notification effect, control is made to the big hit gaming state, but as shown in FIG. 218 (E), by executing the big hit game effect according to the hit notification effect, information on the big hit gaming state An image is displayed in a sandstorm state without displaying even (for example, the number of rounds). In this way, for a player who has determined that he has performed an action contrary to prayer, a bonus game is performed by performing a different performance from the jackpot notification effect to the jackpot game effect after the end of the effective period. While being controlled by the state, the interest cannot be improved, and the player can feel remorse for not performing the prayer action.

  In the present embodiment, the object detection means 2530 is used as a detection method for the player's prayer movement, but any apparatus capable of detecting the player's prayer movement may be used. At this time, it is desirable that only the player who strongly hopes that the lottery result will be a big hit is judged to have performed the prayer action and gives an impression as if the player's prayer was understood. That is, it is desirable that the lottery result is strongly determined to be a big hit, but it is not determined that the prayer movement is not performed. For example, although the object detection unit 2530 is used as a detection method for the player's prayer movement, the object detection unit 2530 is longer than a predetermined time (3 seconds or more in the present embodiment) within the effective period set for the prayer reach production. In addition to determining whether or not any one of the above has continued to be detected, the touch sensor 516 also determines whether or not the player's hand is separated from the handle device 500, whereby the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed. Recognizing whether the player is creating a situation as if they are strictly holding hands with both hands instead of one hand, a player who strongly hopes that the lottery result will be a big hit said that the player performed a prayer action You may judge.

  In the object detection unit 2530 of the present embodiment, a plurality of object detection sensors (an upper object detection sensor 2531, a left object detection sensor 2532, a right object detection sensor 2533, and a lower object detection sensor 2534) constituting the object detection unit 2530 are provided. In addition to detecting whether or not the player's hand is located in the detectable region, in addition to this, measuring the distance from the plurality of object detection sensors constituting the object detection means 2530 to the player's hand By making it possible to recognize whether or not a situation has been created as if the player is holding the palm at a certain distance to the object detection means 2530 on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lottery result will be a big hit It may be determined that a player who strongly desires to perform a prayer action.

  Further, in this embodiment, the object detection means 2530 is mounted on the gaming machine 1 as a detection method for the player's prayer movement. For example, a small camera capable of recognizing the player's behavior is used as the gaming machine. In this case, a player who directly recognizes whether or not the player is praying and who is strongly hoping that the lottery result will be a big hit will perform a prayer action. You may decide that In addition, as a detection method for the player's prayer movement, a thermography device capable of detecting infrared rays (heat amount) emitted from the player may be mounted on the gaming machine 1, and in this case, the player May recognize that the temperature emitted from the player has risen due to a powerful prayer movement, and that a player who strongly wishes that the lottery result will be a big hit has performed a prayer movement .

[8. Big hit game production using object detection means]
In the above-described embodiment, detection by the object detection means 2530 (the upper object detection sensor 2531, the left object detection sensor 2532, the right object detection sensor 2533, and the lower object detection sensor 2534) of the center actor 2500 is used as part of the reach effect. The prayer reach production is performed, and depending on whether or not the prayer movement is detected in the prayer reach production, the subsequent productions (notification production, jackpot game production, mode production, etc.) are made different. An effect using detection by the object detection means 2530 of the center actor 2500 as a part of the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect (detection of an effect constituting a part of the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect described later) Display), and depending on whether or not prayer movements are detected in this production, Results of the effect that constitutes a part of a big hit game effects and Koatari game effects of predicates, mode effect, may have different effect) and the like.

  In this embodiment, when the lottery result is a probability variation latency big hit (specific 6 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit, etc.), it is difficult to recognize whether the lottery result is a probability variation latent big hit or small hit in reach production. (E.g., based on the determination result notification command received by the peripheral control board 4010, the probability variation latent big hit symbol such as “767” or “656” or the chance symbol such as “357” is displayed. After the stop display), the game is controlled to the big hit game state, and the big hit game effect is executed based on the big hit start command received by the peripheral control board 4010. On the other hand, when the lottery result is a small hit, a notification effect is executed to notify the player that it is difficult to recognize whether the lottery result is a probable latency big hit or a small hit in the reach production, as in the case of the probability changing latent big hit (for example, After the display of the determination result notification received by the peripheral control board 4010, the small winning symbols such as “767” and “656” and the chance symbols such as “357” are stopped and displayed), and then the small hit gaming state The small hit game effect is executed based on the small hit start command received by the peripheral control board 4010. In this way, if the lottery result is a probabilistic latent big hit or small hit, by executing the same effect until the start of the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect, the lottery result can be either a probable latent big hit or a small hit. It is difficult to recognize this, and it is controlled to a high probability non-short-time state (probability change state) after controlling the big hit gaming state when triggered by the probability variation latent big hit, or after the small hit gaming state control triggered by becoming a small hit It is difficult to recognize whether to control to a low probability non-short-time state (normal state).

  As shown in FIG. 219, the big hit game effect and the small hit game effect are notified by the liquid crystal display device 1900 regarding the start of detection by the object detection means 2530 (for example, the player uses both hands to the object detection means 2530). An image indicating that a prayer action is to be displayed), a display during detection of an effect displaying that the liquid crystal display device 1900 is in a period for determining detection by the object detection means 2530, and an effect display It is determined whether or not the player has performed a prayer operation with both hands within the period during which the detection by the object detection unit 2530 is determined in the display during detection, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 determines based on the determination. The lottery result consists of a presentation result display that notifies the player that the probability variation latent big hit or small hit can be recognized or is difficult to recognize. Ri is in the control of the game state and Koatari gaming state, running their series of effect display sequentially. Further, during the period during which the display during the detection of the effect is executed, as shown in FIG. 219, the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled to be opened in the big hit game state or the small hit game state. A period for determining detection by the object detection means 2530 is provided so as to include a period for controlling the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 to be opened.

  When it is determined that the player is praying with both hands to the object detection means 2530 at least during the period for which detection by the object detection means 2530 is determined, the result display of the effect on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed. As a result, the player is able to recognize whether the lottery result is a probabilistic latent big hit or a small hit, so that a high probability non-short-time state (probable state Or a low probability non-time-short state (normal state) after controlling the small hit gaming state when triggered by a small hit. In addition, if you enter (continue) the high probability non-short-time state (probability variation state) after the jackpot gaming state ends with the probability variation latency big hit, as a mode effect after the jackpot gaming state ends, When the probability change mode indicating that the state is being controlled is executed, but when the small hit game state is entered, the low probability non-short-time state (normal state) is entered (continued) after the small hit game state ends. The normal mode indicating that the low probability non-short-time state is being controlled is executed as the mode effect after the end of the small hit gaming state.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the player has not performed the prayer movement with both hands to the object detection means 2530 at least within the period in which detection by the object detection means 2530 is determined, the result display of the effect on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed. As in the case before the start of the big hit game effect or the small hit game production, the player is informed that it is difficult to recognize whether the lottery result is a probable latency big hit or a small hit, so that the chance to become a promising latent big hit Whether to control to a high probability non-short-time state (probability change state) after controlling the big hit gaming state, or to control to a low probability non-time-short state (normal state) after controlling the small hit gaming state when triggered by a small hit Either one is difficult to recognize. In addition, when the big hit gaming state ends with a chance to become a probable latent big hit, the high probability non-short state (probability change state) enters (continues), and the small hit gaming state ends with a small hit Whether or not it is a high-probability short-time state as a mode effect after the end of a big-hit gaming state or a small-hit gaming state in any case of entering (continuing) a low-probability non-short-time state (normal state) later A probability variation latent mode that is difficult to recognize is executed.

  By the way, in this embodiment, when it becomes specific 1-5 and a non-specific big hit, the long opening which makes the opening time of the said big winning opening 2103 or the said second big winning opening 2552 per round 30 seconds On the other hand, when the 10R (left) latent probability variation big hit or small hit of 6 is specified, the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round is extremely shorter than the long open state. .Controlled to short open state of 05 seconds. In this way, when the specific 6R (left) latent probability variation big hit or small hit is reached, the opening time of the large winning opening 2103 per round is too short, so the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 Even if the release control is recognized, it is difficult in the first place to win the game ball to the above-mentioned big winning opening 2103, but the game management (hall) side is different from the control in the long open state originally. It is desirable that the player does not acquire a game ball during the control of the short open state so that the game machine 1 does not affect the pitch rate per unit time.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the period for determining the detection by the object detection means 2530 is provided so as to include the period for controlling the short hit state in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, so that the short open state During the control of the game, it is difficult to win the game ball, but the handle device 500 is operated so as to aim for a prize at the large winning opening 2130 or the object detection means 2530 is not operated without operating the handle device 500. On the other hand, the player must choose either to pray with both hands. When it is determined that the player is praying with both hands to the object detection means 2530, the short open state is being controlled without aiming for the winning of the game ball into the big winning opening 2130. As a reward for not having won the game ball, the player can easily recognize whether the lottery result is a probabilistic latent big hit or a small hit, thereby providing information advantageous to the player, so that the big hit gaming state or the small hit It becomes possible to participate in the production using detection by the object detection means 2530 in the gaming state, and to prevent the player from acquiring a game ball during the control in the short open state.

  In the present embodiment, the period for determining the detection by the object detection unit 2530 is configured to include the period for controlling the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100, but the handle device 500 is operated. Since it takes time for the game ball to reach the big prize opening 2130, the period for judging the detection by the object detection means 2530 is such that the game ball is placed in the big prize opening 2130 even if the handle device 500 is operated. It is only necessary to set a period during which no winning is made, and it is not always necessary to include a period during which the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled to be opened. For example, the end time of the period for determining the detection by the object detection means 2530 may be set before the end time of the period for controlling the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 to be opened.

  In the above-described embodiment, before executing the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect including the display during the detection of the effect, as the notification effect in the reach effect, “reaching” symbols such as “767” and “656” or “ “357” or the like is stopped and displayed, but the execution of the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect may be started without stopping and displaying such a symbol. In addition, a period for determining the detection by the object detection means 2530 (part of the display during the detection of the effect) may be provided so as to include a period for controlling to the short open state in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. Production start display and production detection display (period in which detection by the object detection means 2530 is determined) among a series of production displays composed of production start display, production detection display, and production result display. May be executed before (for example, a period during which the reach effect should have been executed) before controlling to the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. For example, from the start of the variable display triggered by the fact that the lottery result is either a probable latent big hit or a small hit, for example, it is difficult to visually recognize the variable display of the design, and suddenly the start display of the production in the series of effect displays May be executed. According to this, it is controlled to a high probability non-short-time state (probability change state) after controlling the big hit gaming state triggered by the probability variation latency big hit, or low after the small hit gaming state control triggered by the small hit. Since only the effect that enables recognition of either the probability non-short-time state (normal state) or not is executed, the effect using detection by the object detection means 2530 can be particularly noted.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the result display of the effect executed as a part of the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect, the player performs the praying action with both hands within the period for determining the detection by the object detection means 2530. Based on the determination of whether or not the lottery result has been notified to the player that the result of the lottery can be recognized either recognizable latent big hit or small hit can be recognized or difficult to recognize, but changes in the symbols after the control of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state In the display, after controlling the big hit gaming state with the chance to become a promising latent big hit, it was controlled to a high probability non-time-short state (probability changing state), or after having controlled the small hit gaming state with a small hit, It may be possible to notify the player of whether the control is in the short time state (normal state) or not.

  For example, even if it is determined that the player has performed a prayer operation with both hands to the object detection unit 2530 within the period for determining the detection by the object detection unit 2530, the result display of the effect is not executed. If you enter (continue) a high-probability non-short-time state (probability change state) after the jackpot gaming state ends with a chance to become a promising latent big hit, as a mode effect after the jackpot gaming state ends, When the probability changing mode indicating that the control is in progress is executed, but when the small hit game state is entered (continuous) after the small hit gaming state ends, As a mode effect after the end of the small hit gaming state, a normal mode indicating that the low probability non-short-time state is being controlled may be executed. On the other hand, even if it is determined that the player has not performed the prayer movement with both hands within the period for determining the detection by the object detection unit 2530, the result display of the effect is not executed. , If you enter (continue) a high probability non-short-time state (probability change state) after the jackpot gaming state ends with the probability variation latency big hit, and after the small hit gaming state ends with a small hit Regardless of whether you enter (continue) the low-probability non-short-time state (normal state), it recognizes whether you are in the high-probability time-short state as a mode effect after the big hit game state or small hit game state ends It is sufficient to execute a probability variation latent mode that is difficult to do.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the object detection is performed without operating the handle device 500 by using the detection by the object detection means 2530 of the center accessory 2500 in the period of controlling to the short hit state in the big hit game state or the small hit game state. Although it is determined whether the player has performed the prayer movement with both hands on the means 2530, it is only necessary to perform an effect using a member that the player must release from the handle device 500. For example, the two contact detection sensors are located at positions on the front side of the gaming machine 1 within a range where the player can reach while being seated so that the player cannot contact them without using both hands at the same time. It is only necessary to determine whether or not the player is touching the contact detection sensor with each hand without operating the handle device 500 using the detection by these contact detection sensors. And if it is determined that the player is touching the contact detection sensor with each hand at least within the period for detecting the detection by the contact detection sensor, the lottery result is either the probability variation latency big hit or the small hit. By notifying the player in a recognizable way, the chance to become a probable latent big hit is triggered by controlling the jackpot gaming state to a high-probability non-short-time state (probability changing state) or a small hit. It may be possible to recognize whether to control to a low probability non-time-short state (normal state) after controlling the small hit gaming state.

[8A. Big hit game production using the touch sensor of the handle device]
In the above-described embodiment, the handle device is determined by determining whether the player has performed a prayer operation with both hands to the object detection means 2530 during the period for controlling to the short hit state in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. Although it is indirectly determined that 500 is not operated, the touch sensor 516 of the handle device 500 does not detect the player's contact in order to directly determine whether the handle device 500 is operated. It may be judged.

  In this embodiment, when the touch sensor 516 of the handle device 500 detects a player's contact, an ON signal is output toward the payout control board 4110, and the player releases the hand from the handle device 500 and the touch sensor 516. When the player detects non-contact of the player, the on state is maintained until an off signal is output to the payout control board 4110. When the dispensing control board 4110 detects the detection by the touch sensor 516, a signal is input to the peripheral control board 4010 via the main control board 4100 as shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as a big hit game effect or a small hit game effect, the liquid crystal display device 1900 notifies the player to release his hand from the handle device 500 (for example, the player holds his hand from the handle device 500. Display indicating that the image is to be released), display during detection of an effect displaying that the liquid crystal display device 1900 is in a period for determining detection by the touch sensor 516 of the handle device 500, and detection of the effect The touch sensor 516 detects the non-contact of the player within the period for determining the detection by the touch sensor 516 in the middle display, and determines whether the player is not operating the handle device 500. Based on the judgment, the liquid crystal display device 1900 can recognize whether the lottery result is a probable latent big hit or a small hit or is difficult to recognize. And result display of the effect of knowledge, which is composed, is in the control of the jackpot gaming state and Koatari gaming state, running their series of effect display sequentially. Further, during the period during which the display during the detection of the effect is executed, the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled to be opened in the big hit game state or the small hit game state, and the detection by the object detection means 2530 is used. Similar to the big hit game effect and the small hit game effect, a period for determining the detection by the touch sensor 516 is provided so as to include a period during which the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled to be opened.

  If the touch sensor 516 detects that the player is not touching at least within a period in which detection by the touch sensor 516 of the handle device 500 is determined, and if it is determined that the player is not operating the handle device 500, a liquid crystal display As a result display of the effect in the device 1900, the player is able to recognize whether the lottery result is a probability variation latency big hit or a small hit, so that the probability change latency big hit is triggered, and then the high hit game state is controlled. It is possible to recognize whether to control to a probabilistic non-short-time state (probability change state) or to control to a low-probability non-short-time state (normal state) after controlling a small hit gaming state triggered by a small hit . In addition, if you enter (continue) the high probability non-short-time state (probability variation state) after the jackpot gaming state ends with the probability variation latency big hit, as a mode effect after the jackpot gaming state ends, When the probability change mode indicating that the state is being controlled is executed, but when the small hit game state is entered, the low probability non-short-time state (normal state) is entered (continued) after the small hit game state ends. The normal mode indicating that the low probability non-short-time state is being controlled is executed as the mode effect after the end of the small hit gaming state.

  Also in this case, the touch sensor 516 detects non-contact of the player and the player does not operate the handle device 500, similarly to the big hit game effect and the small hit game effect using detection by the object detection means 2530. If it is determined, the lottery result is either a probable latent hit or small hit as a reward for not acquiring the game ball during the short open control without aiming for the game ball to win the big winning opening 2130. By providing information that is advantageous to the player such as recognizing that the player is recognizable, the player is prevented from operating the handle device 500 during the control of the short hit state or the short hit state in the small hit game state. Thus, the player can be prevented from acquiring the game ball.

  In the present embodiment as well, the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled to be opened during the period in which the detection by the touch sensor 516 is determined, similarly to the big hit game effect and the small hit game effect using detection by the object detection means 2530. Although it is configured to include a period, since it takes time for the game ball to reach the winning prize opening 2130 after operating the handle device 500, the period for determining detection by the touch sensor 516 is as follows. It is only necessary to set a period during which the game ball does not win the big prize opening 2130 even if the handle device 500 is operated, and the period for controlling the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is necessarily included. There is no need to be done. For example, the end time of the period for determining the detection by the touch sensor 516 may be set before the end time of the period for controlling the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 to be opened.

  On the other hand, when the touch sensor 516 detects a player's contact at least during a period in which detection by the touch sensor 516 of the handle device 500 is determined, and it is determined that the player is operating the handle device 500, a liquid crystal display As the result display of the effect in the device 1900, the probability variation latency is notified by notifying the player that it is difficult to recognize whether the lottery result is the probability variation latency big hit or the small hit, as before the start of the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect. Controls to a high probability non-short-time state (probability variation state) after controlling the big hit gaming state triggered by a big hit, or low-probability non-time short state (normal state) after controlling the small hit gaming state triggered by a small hit ) To either control or make it difficult to recognize. In addition, when the big hit gaming state ends with a chance to become a probable latent big hit, the high probability non-short state (probability change state) enters (continues), and the small hit gaming state ends with a small hit Whether or not it is a high-probability short-time state as a mode effect after the end of a big-hit gaming state or a small-hit gaming state in any case of entering (continuing) a low-probability non-short-time state (normal state) later A probability variation latent mode that is difficult to recognize is executed.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is determined whether the touch sensor 516 of the handle device 500 detects the player's contact during the period for controlling to the short hit state in the big hit game state or the small hit game state. In order to determine whether or not a game ball is being launched into the game area 1100 from the hitting ball launcher 650 without operating 500, for example, a passage sensor is provided on the outer rail 1111 or the inner rail 1112, and the passage sensor is provided on the outer rail. It may be determined whether or not the passing of a game ball between 1111 and the inner rail 1112 is detected.

  In this other embodiment, when the passage sensor detects the passage of the game ball, an ON signal is output toward the main control board 4100, and when the main control board 4110 detects the detection by the passage sensor, FIG. As shown, the signal is input to the peripheral control board 4010. However, when the passage sensor detects the passage of the game ball, the ON signal may be directly output to the peripheral control board 4010 instead of the main control board 4100. Further, during the period during which the display during the detection of the effect in the big hit game effect or the small hit game effect is executed, the opening control of the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 in the big hit game state or the small hit game state is performed. Similarly to the big hit game effect and the small hit game effect using detection by the touch sensor 516, a period for determining detection by the passage sensor is provided so as to include a period for opening control of the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100. ing.

  When the passage sensor detects that the game ball is not passing at least within a period for which detection by the passage sensor is determined, and it is determined that the player does not operate the handle device 500, the effect of the effect on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed. As a result display, the player is able to recognize whether the lottery result is a probability variation latency big hit or a small hit, so that it becomes a probability variation latency big hit, and then a high probability non-short state after control of the big hit gaming state ( It is possible to recognize whether it is controlled to a probability change state) or to a low probability non-time-short state (normal state) after control of the small hit gaming state triggered by a small hit. In addition, if you enter (continue) the high probability non-short-time state (probability variation state) after the jackpot gaming state ends with the probability variation latency big hit, as a mode effect after the jackpot gaming state ends, When the probability change mode indicating that the state is being controlled is executed, but when the small hit game state is entered, the low probability non-short-time state (normal state) is entered (continued) after the small hit game state ends. The normal mode indicating that the low probability non-short-time state is being controlled is executed as the mode effect after the end of the small hit gaming state.

  Also in this case, similarly to the big hit game effect and the small hit game effect using detection by the touch sensor 516, the passing sensor detects the non-passing of the game ball and determines that the player is not operating the handle device 500. In this case, the lottery result is either a probabilistic latent big hit or a small hit as a reward for not acquiring the game ball during the control of the short open state without aiming to win the game ball to the big winning opening 2130. By providing information that is advantageous to the player such as recognizing or recognizing that, the player does not operate the handle device 500 during the control of the short hit state in the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state. The player can be prevented from acquiring a game ball.

[9. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game balls that are thrown into the game area 1100 by the operation of the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 are arranged below the center bonus 2500. When a predetermined lottery result is selected by the first start port 2101 of the attacker unit 2100, the lottery result is selected, and a predetermined region including two projection regions TR arranged in the vicinity where the player is seated. The projector unit 2150 corresponding to the projection area TR provided on each of the left and right sides of the big prize opening 2103 in the attacker unit 2100 in response to the detection of the object from the object detection means 2530 for detecting the player in the player. Right side decoration unit 200 for illuminating and decorating the outer periphery of the glass plate 594 defining the front end of the gaming area 1100 at the same time. Left side framing unit 240, and causes lit off or reduced the emission decoration such as upper framing unit 280. The light of the image projected from the projector unit 2150 to the projection area TR is reflected by the projection area TR (part of the player's body) to the game area 1100 and further played by the transparent plate-like glass plate 594. It will be reflected to the person side. At this time, the light emitting decorations of the decoration units 200, 240, and 280 are turned off or reduced, and the light directly irradiated to the player is reduced, so that the game area 1100 is relatively dark. Therefore, the light (image) projected from the projector unit 2150 to the light projection area TR, reflected by the light projection area TR, and further reflected by the glass plate 594 of the door frame 5 to the player side becomes relatively strong. The image (light) reflected by the glass plate 594 from the player side becomes conspicuous. As described above, the image reflected by the glass plate 594 to the player side is an image reflected by the light projection region TR and further reflected by the glass plate 594. Therefore, when viewed from the player side, the light source Instead of seeing (projector unit 2150), the image projected by projection unit 2150 into projection area TR and a part of the player's body in projection area TR illuminated by the projection of the image are reflected on glass plate 594. Will be visible. Accordingly, when the projector unit 2150 is caused to emit light according to the gaming state, an image projected on the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 and a part of the player's body are reflected. By providing the player with an effect completely different from the effect using the liquid crystal display device 1900 or a movable decorative body, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player and to produce an unexpectedly high effect. It is possible to suppress the interest of the player from being attracted and to reduce the interest in the game.

  Further, as described above, when the projector unit 2150 emits light according to the gaming state, a part of the player's body located in the projection region TR is reflected on the glass plate 594 and projected from the projector unit 2150 onto the body part. The player sees what is reflected on the glass plate 594, so that the player thinks "What is it?" And pays attention within the projection area TR (part of his / her body on which the image is projected). Therefore, it becomes possible to notice the irradiation of light from the projector unit 2150, and it can be thought that there is something good by recognizing the light emission of the projector unit 2150, and the expectation for the game is increased. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the image is projected from the projector unit 2150 onto a part of the player's body located in the projection area TR, the image of the image shown to the player is moved by the movement of the player on which the image is projected. Since the range changes or the part where the image is projected is not a flat shape but a three-dimensional shape, when the player moves, the projected image changes and the image can be expanded and contracted, Even a single image can be changed in various ways, and it is possible to entertain the appearance of the image projected on the player, so that it is difficult to get bored and to reduce the interest.

  Furthermore, an image is projected from the projector unit 2150 onto the projection region TR, and a person other than a player who plays a game on the pachinko machine 1 (another player or pachinko machine) by projecting a relatively pinpoint image. It is possible to make it difficult to notice the light emission of the projector unit 2150 for the employees of the game hall where 1 is installed. That is, only the player who plays with the pachinko machine 1 can notice the effect using the projector unit 2150, and the effect using the projector unit 2150 can be enjoyed without being noticed by other players. Since it is possible, a chance after the presentation by the projector unit 2150 that emits light according to the lottery result lottered by accepting a game ball to the first starting port 2101 or the like (for example, a state where the big prize opening 2103 can be accepted) Even if the game has not arrived (in the case of losing production), other players, etc. are not aware of the production, and the player can pretend to be calm, and even in the case of losing production, It can be enjoyed without hesitation, and it can be suppressed that the interest of the player in the game is reduced.

  In addition, the projection area TR is located below the center in the vertical direction of the game area 1100, and when a player with a normal height sits in front of the pachinko machine 1, it is below the head of the player. Therefore, the light of the image projected from the projector unit 2150 can be prevented from reaching the player's eyes as much as possible, and the player emits light from the projector unit 2150. It can be prevented from feeling dazzling, and it can be suppressed that the dazzling feels uncomfortable and lowers interest.

  Further, since the projector unit 2150 is provided in the attacker unit 2100 disposed below the center of the game area 1100, even if the projector unit 2150 emits light at a position lower than the height of the player's eyes, It is possible to reduce the light from the projector unit 2150 directly reaching the player's eyes as much as possible, and make it difficult for the player to notice. Therefore, the player can notice the light emission effect by the projector unit 2150 by viewing the image projected on the projection area TR, the image reflected on the glass plate 594, and the like, and the impact at the start of the effect can be realized. Since it can be strengthened, the unexpectedness with respect to the light emission effect can be enhanced, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted, and the interest in the game can be prevented from decreasing.

  Further, since the projector unit 2150 that projects an image onto the projection area TR corresponding to the position of the player detected by the object detection means 2530 is caused to emit light, the image (light) from the projector unit 2150 can be reliably transmitted to the specific area. The projector unit 2150 can project an image from the projector unit 2150 corresponding to the optimal position (projection region TR) according to the player's posture. It is possible to prevent the player's interest from decreasing by further enhancing the effect.

  Further, since the projector unit 2150 is arranged on both the left and right sides of the big prize opening 2103 in the attacker unit 2100, the projector unit 2150 can be made inconspicuous, and the light of the projector unit 2150 can reach the player's eyes directly. In addition, when the projector unit 2150 is caused to emit light, even if the light from the projector unit 2150 is directly visible to the player, the player has the illusion that it is part of the light emitting decoration of the attacker unit 2100. It is possible to prevent the projector unit 2150 from directly recognizing the light emission effect, and to ensure that the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, since the object detecting means 2530 is provided in the center combination 2500 arranged in the approximate center in the game area 1100, it is arranged in front of the glass plate 594 (glass unit 590) including the projection area TR. The player (object) in the predetermined area (detection area) can be easily detected, and the pachinko machine 1 that reliably detects the object in the predetermined area and reliably exhibits the above-described effects can be obtained. Further, since the object detection means 2530 is provided in the center accessory 2500, the object detection means 2530 can be attached to a desired position simply by attaching the center accessory 2500 to the game panel 1200, and the pachinko machine 1 It is possible to simplify the labor involved in assembly and suppress an increase in cost.

  Further, after inserting the frame-shaped center accessory 2500 into the opening 1215 formed in the panel plate 1210 of the game panel 1200, the rear of the game panel 1200 is visible from the player side through the frame of the center accessory 2500. Since the liquid crystal display device 1900 is arranged on the side, it is possible to make it fully visible from the player side through the opening 1215 of the game panel 1200 and the frame of the center accessory 2500, and the effect using the projector unit 2150 is achieved. In addition, it is possible to produce effects using the liquid crystal display device 1900, presenting various effects to the player, making it difficult to get bored, and making the player entertained by various effects, It can suppress that the interest with respect to a game falls. Further, in the normal state, by performing the effect by the effect image of the liquid crystal display device 1900, it is possible to enhance the premium feeling for the effect by the projector unit 2150, to further increase the impact of the effect by the projector unit 2150, and to play the game It is possible to further increase the sense of expectation for the player, and to suppress the player's interest from decreasing.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is disposed on the rear side of the gaming panel 1200, and the projector unit is more likely to position the player's viewpoint on the rear side of the gaming panel 1200 in the production by the production image of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Since the player's viewpoint can be positioned on the front side of the game panel 1200 (glass unit 590) in the effect by the light emission of 2150, the player's viewpoint is determined according to the device (projector unit 2150, liquid crystal display device 1900, etc.) used for the effect. The point of view can be changed, and the pachinko machine 1 can be prevented from becoming monotonous by preventing the production from becoming monotonous.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the arm unit base 3251 that rotatably supports (axially supports) the base end side of the upper arm unit 3300 is disposed above the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the upper arm unit 3300 is When the 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 are in the storage position and the storage position, the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 are positioned above the liquid crystal display device 1900 and are not visible from the player side. In this state, when the upper arm unit 3300 is rotated from the storage position to the appearance position by the upper arm drive motor 3254 according to the gaming state, the front end side of the upper arm unit 3300 is lowered to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 3300 together with the forearm unit 3350. Furthermore, when the forearm unit 3350 is rotated from the retracted position to the deployed position by the forearm drive motor 3307, the front end side of the forearm unit 3350 is rotated away from the upper arm unit 3300. It is possible to show the player such a movable effect that the arm unit 3250 extends in front of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, when the forearm unit 3350 is rotated from the retracted position to the deployed position by the forearm drive motor 3307 according to the gaming state, the front end side of the forearm unit 3350 is lowered to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and appears. Further, when the upper arm unit 3300 is pivotally moved from the storage position to the appearance position by the upper arm drive motor 3254, the upper arm unit 3300 descends to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 so as to push out the forearm unit 3350. Therefore, it is possible to show the player such a movable effect that the entire upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 greatly change the form (shape) on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Therefore, the two upper arm units 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 appearing on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the gaming state can show the player a moving effect that has changed in an unprecedented manner. The player can be surprised and the player can think that there is something good, and the expectation for the game can be raised and the interest can be suppressed from decreasing.

  Further, since the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 can be separately rotated by the independent upper arm drive motor 3254 and the forearm drive motor 3307, the form of the entire arm unit 3250 can be changed in various ways. In addition to attracting the attention of the player, by providing the arm unit 3250 capable of various movements, the movement (movable effect) of the arm unit 3250 can be made less tired, and the interest of the player is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, a forearm unit 3350 that rotates about the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 is further provided on the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 that rotates about the proximal end side. In other words, since the arm unit 3250 having the two internodes is provided, the entire arm unit 3250 can express the part of the arm of a human being (such as a predetermined character) such as a human being or an animal. Can be realized, and the movement of the arm unit 3250 can be enjoyed.

  In addition, the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 are rotated and moved to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the gaming state, and the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is blocked by the arm unit 3250. Therefore, the appearance (rotation) of the arm unit 3250 can be made conspicuous from the player, and it becomes possible to make the player pay attention to the decoration unit, so that the player can enjoy the movable effect by the arm unit 3250. Can be suppressed, and the arm unit 3250 can make the pachinko machine 1 stand out, so that the pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as a pachinko machine to play.

  In addition, the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 are arranged above the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the upper arm unit 3300 is used when the upper arm unit 3300 and the like are driven to appear (movable effect) to be positioned on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900. And the like are moved downward so that the load applied to the upper arm driving motor 3254, the forearm driving motor 3307 and the like is reduced by being supported by the gravity acting on the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350. In addition, the arm unit 3250 can be made to appear speedily by increasing the rotation speed, and the impact at the time of appearance can be increased to prevent the player's interest from decreasing.

  Further, a forearm drive motor 3307 for rotationally driving the forearm unit 3350 is disposed on the proximal end side of the upper arm unit 3300, and rotation from the forearm drive motor 3307 is performed by the transmission rotating body 3311, the link member 3312, and the like. The forearm unit 3350 that is pivotally supported on the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 is transmitted to the upper arm unit 3300, so that the forearm drive motor 3307 having a relatively heavy weight is disposed on the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300. A rotational moment applied to (acting on) the dynamic shaft can be reduced as much as possible, and an increase in load on the upper arm drive motor 3254 can be suppressed. Therefore, since it is not necessary to enlarge the upper arm drive motor 3254 in order to make the upper arm drive motor 3254 strong, the space for arranging the upper arm unit 3300 is relatively easily secured, and the upper arm unit 3300 is made possible. The arm unit 3250 that is conspicuous in the pachinko machine 1 can be provided. Further, since it is not necessary to use a component having high strength and rigidity as a component to make the upper arm drive motor 3254 and the like more durable, the cost for the upper arm drive motor 3254 and the like (pachinko machine 1) increases. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, the forearm unit 3350 is provided with a transmission pin 3351b eccentric from the axis of the second shaft portion 3301b, and a transmission rotating body 3311 having a crank pin 3311b revolved by the forearm drive motor 3307, and cranks at both ends. Since a hook-like link member 3312 that supports the pin 3311b and the transmission pin 3351b is provided, the hook-like link is rotated when the transmission rotating body 3311 is rotated by the forearm drive motor 3307 according to the gaming state. The crank pin 311b whose base end side of the member 3312 is pivotally connected revolves, and the transmission pin 3351b is pushed or pulled by the link member 3312 in accordance with the revolving direction of the crank pin 3311b. It will revolve and the forearm unit 3350 can be reliably rotated. .

  Further, the rotation of the transmission rotating body 3311 disposed on the proximal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 is transmitted to the second shaft portion 3301b (the forearm unit 3350) on the distal end side of the upper arm unit 3300 by the hook-shaped link member 3312. Since the elongated link member 3312 is arranged in the upper arm unit 3300, the rotation from the forearm drive motor 3254 is second compared with the case where the rotation is transmitted by a plurality of gears. The weight of the rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting to the shaft portion 3301b (second rotation shaft 3351a) can be reduced, and an increase in load on the upper arm drive motor 3254 and the like can be prevented. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the size or strength of the upper frame cigarage motor 3254 and the like, and the same effects as described above can be achieved.

  Further, in the upper arm unit 3300, the crank pin 3311b of the transmission rotating body 3311 has a link axis connecting the center of the crank pin 3311b and the center of the transmission pin 3351b on one side (upper side) with respect to the rotation center of the transmission rotating body 3311. ) And a position where the link axis revolves to the other side (downward) with respect to the rotation center of the transmission rotator 3311, and the crank pin 3311b is connected to the transmission rotator 3311. Since the forearm unit 3350 is in the storage position when it is slightly revolved to one side with respect to the center of rotation, the forearm unit 3350 is in the storage position, that is, the crank pin 3311b is slightly to the one side (upper side). In the revolved position state, the rotation moment applied to the forearm unit 3350 causes the club via the link member 3312. The direction of the force acting on the cup pin 3311b acts in a direction to revolve the crank pin 3311b to one side (upward, counterclockwise direction in front view), but the crank pin 3311b (transmission rotating body 3311). Since the revolution range is restricted by the slit 3311c so as not to revolve to one side any more, the crankpin 3311b continues to stop at a position slightly revolved to one side without revolving. Therefore, when the forearm unit 3350 is in the retracted position, even if a rotational moment applied to the forearm unit 3350 acts on the crankpin 3311b via the link member 3312, the crankpin 3311b does not revolve and the transmission rotating body 3311 does not rotate. In other words, since the rotation of the transmission rotating body 3311 can be locked (blocked), the rotational driving force due to the rotational moment acts on the rotation shaft of the forearm drive motor 3307 via the transmission rotating body 3311. Can be avoided. Therefore, in order to maintain the forearm unit 3250 in the retracted position, it is not necessary to continue to drive the forearm drive motor 3307, and the load on the forearm drive motor 3307 is reduced and the forearm drive motor 3307 and the like are damaged early. It is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to breakage of the forearm drive motor 3307 and the like, and it is possible to prevent the interest of the player from being lowered due to the interruption of the game. .

  Further, as described above, since the forearm unit 3350 can be maintained in the storage position without applying a load to the forearm drive motor 3307, it is necessary to use an expensive one provided with a brake mechanism as the forearm drive motor 3307. In addition, it is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the forearm drive motor 3307 (pachinko machine 1).

  Further, the upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 are provided with a plurality of LEDs (upper arm decoration board 3305 and forearm decoration board 3353) that can emit light according to the game state. The upper arm unit 3300 and the forearm unit 3350 can be decorated by emitting light by appropriately emitting a plurality of LEDs when the apparatus 1900 is rotated to the front side, so that the player can make the arm unit 3250 stand out from the player. The arm unit 3250 that can attract the player's interest can be obtained, and when the player pays attention to the arm unit 3250, the arm unit 3250 can surely produce a movable effect, a light effect, and the like. It can be entertained and it can prevent the player ’s interest from deteriorating. That.

  In addition, the upper arm unit 3300 is attached to the rear side of the upper arm decoration body 3304 and the transmission upper body 3311 and the link member 3312 and the like are attached to the rear side of the upper arm decoration body 3304. An upper arm base 3301 having translucency, and an upper arm decoration board 3305 having a plurality of LEDs attached to the rear side of the upper arm base 3301, and light from the LEDs is played through the upper arm decoration body 3304. Since the irradiation is performed on the person side, the entire upper arm unit 3300 can be brightly decorated to make it easier to see the shape and decoration of the upper arm decoration body 3304, and the decoration effect of the upper arm unit 3300 can be further enhanced. At the same time, it is possible to make the upper arm unit 3300 stand out and attract the player's attention.

  Further, the upper arm decoration board 3305 having a plurality of LEDs is attached to the rear side of the upper arm base 3301 that supports the upper arm decoration body 3304 from the rear side, and the upper arm decoration board 3305 (LED) is attached to the upper arm decoration body 3304. Since it is in a state as far away as possible, the upper arm decoration body 3304 can be irradiated with light irradiated from the LED toward the back side of the upper arm decoration body 3304 as much as possible. 3304 can be illuminated and decorated uniformly without spots. That is, the upper arm unit 3300 can be beautifully decorated with light emission, so that the appearance of the upper arm unit 3300 can be improved, the decoration effect of the upper arm unit 3300 can be enhanced, and the player's interest is strongly attracted. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player.

  Further, since the link member 3312 and the like disposed on the front side of the upper arm decorative board 3305 have a light transmitting property, light from the upper arm decorative board 3305 (LED) is transmitted through the part having the light transmitting property to the upper arm. The decorative body 3304 can be irradiated well, and the upper arm decorative body 3304 can be illuminated and decorated neatly.

  In addition, the game area 1100 includes a frame-shaped center accessory 2500 and a liquid crystal display device 1900 that displays an effect image that can be viewed from the player side through the frame of the center accessory 2500.
