  Next, various flags set after completion of any special game per probability variation symbol and non-probability variation symbol will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, “5AH” is set in the normal power open extension state flag, the normal time short transition state flag, the general probability change transition state flag, and the special time reduction transition state flag. “5AH” means that the flag is on.

  In the case of per probability variation symbol, “5AH” is set in the special figure probability variation transition state flag. On the other hand, in the case of a non-probable variable symbol, the special figure probability fluctuation transition state flag is set to “00H” because it does not shift to the probability fluctuation state after the end of the special game. “00H” means that the flag is off.

  Even in the case of the non-probable variation pattern, the electric chew support is provided. Therefore, “5AH” is set in the above-described common-probability fluctuation transition state flag regardless of the probability variation symbol and the non-probability variation symbol.

  In addition, in the case of per probability variation symbol, “100” is set in the special symbol short time counter and the special symbol probability variation counter, and in the case of non-probability variable symbol, “50” is set in the special symbol short time counter. “0” is set in the special figure probability variation counter. Here, “100” and “50” mean 100 games and 50 games, respectively, and “0” means that the game with the special figure probability variation is 0 times, that is, not played. .

  The values of the special figure short time counter and the special figure probability fluctuation counter can be changed. For example, in the case of per probability variation symbol, if “75” is set in the special figure short time counter and the special figure probability variation counter, the state shifts to a probability variation state of 75 times after the special game is over.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 6-8, the time chart at the time of the production | presentation of LED with which the pachinko gaming machine 1 was equipped and the movable body is demonstrated.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 includes a frame decoration LED 8, a built-in LED of the operation button 13, a number of board decoration LEDs 35, and decoration LEDs provided on a plurality of movable bodies. Further, two types of illumination panels (herein referred to as “illumination panels”) for illuminating the screen of the liquid crystal display device 36 with a specific pattern are provided, and these are also one of the “panel-side light emitters” of the present invention.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 includes movable bodies 37a and 37b (referred to herein as “figure”), pistol-shaped movable bodies 37c and 37d described later, and operation buttons 13 (referred to herein as “buttons”). I have. The operation button 13 belongs to the movable body in that the inside of the operation button 13 rotates to switch the buttons of the first to third modes.

  Each LED and each movable body described above change the light emission pattern and the operation pattern in accordance with the effect performed by the liquid crystal display device 36. Since the effect performed in the liquid crystal display device 36 is mainly a moving image, a light emission pattern and an operation pattern corresponding to the number of frames of the moving image will be described below.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the figure starts to fall from the standby position (the “first position” of the present invention) from the start of the movie (0 frame), and when the frame is 10 frames, the figure is at the lowest effect position (the book). The “second position” of the invention is reached. In this period, the button is in a rotating state.

  During the period of 0 to 10 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame (other than the button) emits “white flash (X cutting line only)”, and the LED of the frame (button) emits “rainbow flash” (“No. 2 light emission mode "). The “X slash line” flash is a light emission line that slashes two game boards 4 diagonally.

  In addition, during the period of 0 to 10 frames of the moving image, the LEDs on the board surface (other than the illumination figure) are turned off, and the LEDs on the board surface (figure) emit “white flashing” (the “first light emission mode” of the present invention). "). In this manner, the frame LED and the board LED emit light in different modes immediately before and during the falling of the figure. The illumination panel A and illumination panel B of the liquid crystal display device 36 are both turned off.

  Next, a period of 10 to 93 frames of moving images will be described. During this period, the figure has reached the lowest point, but stops after repeatedly oscillating in small increments. The button is still rotating during this period. The movable bodies 37a and 37b are located on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 36, but the player can visually recognize the portions where the movable bodies 37a and 37b do not exist.

  During the period of 10 to 93 frames of the moving image, the LEDs in the frame (other than the buttons) change from “white blinking” to “rainbow blinking” and then turn off. Further, the LED of the frame (operation button) changes from “rainbow flash” to “rainbow flashing” and then further changes to “rainbow gradation”.

  During the period of 10 to 93 frames of the moving image, the LEDs on the board (other than the illumination figure) and the board (figure) are changed from “white blinking” to “rainbow blinking” and then turned off. In particular, during the period of 45 to 78 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame and the LED of the board are integrated to emit “rainbow flashing” when the big hit is determined (“third light emission mode” of the present invention).

  During a period of 10 to 93 frames of the moving image, the illumination panel A changes from the extinguished state to the “illuminating lamp specification pattern 3” and then enters the extinguished state again. Further, the illumination panel B is turned off from the emission of the “illumination lamp specification pattern 3”. The “illumination lamp specification pattern 3” is a light emission pattern corresponding to “white blinking” or “rainbow blinking”.

  Next, a period of 93 to 180 frames of moving images will be described. During this period, the figure stops after a texture pose. The button is still rotating during this period.

  In the period of 93 to 180 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame (other than the button) changes from the unlit state to “Rainbow gradation from bottom to top” and then to “Rainbow ultrafast flash”. Also, the LED of the frame (button) changes from “Rainbow gradation” to “Rainbow ultra-high speed flash”.

  During the period of 93 to 180 frames of the movie, the board (except for the Illumina figure) changes from “high-brightness flashing (500 ms or more)” to “rainbow gradation from bottom to top”, and further to “Rainbow Ultra-High Speed Flash”. Change. In addition, the LED on the board (figure) changes from the extinguished state to “white gradation”, and further changes to “rainbow ultra high speed flash”. In particular, during the period of 138 to 180 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame and the LED of the board are integrated to emit “Rainbow Ultra-High Speed Flash” when the big hit is determined (“third light emission mode” of the present invention). ).

  During a period of 93 to 180 frames of the moving image, the illumination panel A changes from the unlit state to “rainbow gradation from bottom to top” and further changes to “illumination lamp specification pattern 2”. Further, the illumination panel B remains in a light-off state. Here, “illumination lamp specification pattern 2” is a light emission pattern corresponding to “Rainbow ultra-high speed flash”.

  Finally, a period of 180 to 290 frames of a moving image will be described. In this period, the figure starts to rise from the production position and returns to the original standby position. During this period, the button is stopped.

  During the period of 180 to 290 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame (other than the button) changes from “white flashing” to “pink flashing” and further to “rainbow high-speed flashing”. Further, the LED of the frame (button) emits light of “gradation after rainbow high-speed blinking” (“second light emission mode” of the present invention).

  During the period of 180 to 290 frames of the video, the LED on the board (except for the Illumina figure) and the board (figure) changes from “white blinking” to “pink blinking” and then to “rainbow fast blinking” (this book "First light emission mode" of the invention).

  During the period of 180 to 290 frames of the moving image, the illumination panel A remains off, and the illumination panel B emits light of “gradation after rainbow high-speed blinking”. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 1 can execute a unique light emission effect using the LED of the frame, the LED of the board, and the illumination panel while being associated with the operations of the movable bodies 37a and 37b and the operation buttons 13. Note that a predetermined sound may be output while being associated with the operation of the movable bodies 37a and 37b.

  Although FIG. 6 demonstrated so far was the light emission effect as a jackpot finalizing effect, an effect similar to this is also executed as a notice effect including a failure in the lottery. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, the light emission effect as the normal notice effect will be described.

  The figure starts to fall from the standby position from the start of the moving image (0 frame), and at 10 frames, the figure reaches the effect position at the lowest point. In this period, the button is in a rotating state. After this, the operations of the figure and the button are the same as those in FIG.

  During the period of 0 to 10 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame (other than the button) emits “white flash (only for the X cut line)”, and the LED of the frame (button) emits “pink flash” (“No. 2 light emission mode "). Here, “Rainbow Flash” in FIG. 6 is a jackpot finalizing effect and cannot be used here, so it has been changed to “Pink Flash”. Blue or green may be used instead of pink, and the degree of jackpot expectation may be changed depending on the color.

  During the period of 0 to 10 frames of the moving image, the LEDs on the board (other than the illumination figure) are off, and the LEDs on the board (figure) emit “white flashing” (the “first light emission mode” of the present invention). ). In this manner, the frame LED and the board LED emit light in different modes immediately before and during the falling of the figure. The illumination panel A and illumination panel B of the liquid crystal display device 36 are both turned off.

  Next, a period after 10 frames of a moving image will be briefly described. During the period of 45 to 78 frames of the moving image, the LED on the frame and the LED on the board are integrated to emit “flashing pink” (“third light emission mode” of the present invention). In this period, the illumination panel A emits light with the “illumination lamp specification pattern 1”. Here, “illumination lamp specification pattern 1” is a light emission pattern corresponding to “white blinking” or “pink blinking”.

  From now on, the pachinko gaming machine 1 lights up, flashes, gradations or turns off in various modes except for “rainbow” using the LED of the frame, the LED of the board, and the illumination panel in association with the operation of each movable body. Execute.

  Next, FIG. 8 shows a time chart of the effect notice effect using the movable bodies 37c and 37d as the movable bodies. The movable bodies 37c and 37d (referred to herein as “government”) are normally hidden at the standby position on the back side of the center decorative body 34a.

  As shown in the figure, the right government (movable body 37d) starts driving from the start of the moving image (0 frame), and the right government appears at the effect position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 36 at the 30th frame, and the driving stops. . Further, from the 27th frame, the left government (movable body 37c) also starts to be driven.

  During the period of 0 to 30 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame (other than the button) emits light of (1) X cutting line “single-color high-speed flashing” and (2) fan 15 “red-violet high-speed flashing”. Thereafter, in addition to the above (1) and (2), the general-purpose portion “red purple flashing fast” is emitted. In addition, the LEDs on the board (except for illumination and government) change from the unlit state to “red purple fast flashing”.

  During the period of 0 to 30 frames of the moving image, the LED of the left government changes from “red purple lighting” to “red purple fast flashing”. Further, the LED of the right government is in a state of “red purple flashing rapidly”. In this period, the illumination panel B repeatedly performs high-speed blinking of 0% → 100% → 0% → 100% →.

  Next, a period of 30 to 111 frames of a moving image will be described. During this period, the left government appears and stops at the effect position on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 36 from the driving state, and is then stored in the standby position. Further, the right government is driven from the stop state and stored in the standby position. During the period of 45 to 66 frames of the moving image, the movable bodies 37c and 37d are positioned on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 36, but the player can visually recognize the portions where the movable bodies 37c and 37d do not exist. .

  During the period of 30 to 111 frames of the moving image, the LED of the frame (other than the button) is changed from the general-purpose part “red purple flashing” added to the above (1) and (2) to “red purple gradation from bottom to top”. To change. In addition, the LEDs on the board (except for illumination and government) change from “red-purple fast flashing” to “red-purple gradation from bottom to top”.

  During the period of 30 to 111 frames of the moving image, the LED of the left government changes from “red purple fast flashing” to “single color lighting” and further to “lighting after one action flashing”. Further, the LED of the right government changes from “single color lighting” to “one action flashing lighting”. Note that during this period, the illumination panel B changes from the above-described repetition of the high-speed blinking to the high-speed flashing → lighting set repeatedly.

  Next, a period of 111 to 201 frames of a moving image will be described. In this period, the right government starts driving again and performs a firing operation at the production position. Thereafter, the right government is stored from the effect position to the standby position. Here, the left government is not driven.

  During the period of 111 to 201 frames of the movie, the LED of the frame (other than the button) and the LED of the board (other than the illumination and government) are changed from “purple gradation from bottom to top” to “after the white flash, from bottom to top. Changes to “reddish purple gradation”.

  During the period of 111 to 201 frames of the moving image, the LED of the left government remains in the “lighting after one action blinking” state. Further, the LED of the right government changes from “lights after blinking one action” to “lights after firing action” and further changes to “lights after blinking one action”. Note that during this period, the illumination panel B changes from a high-speed flashing → lighting set to a light-off state.

  In this manner, a unique light emission effect can be executed using the LED of the frame, the LED of the board, and the illumination panel while being associated with the operation of the movable bodies 37c and 37d. Note that the firing sound may be output in association with the firing operation of the movable body 37d (right government).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the details of the jackpot finalizing effect corresponding to FIG. 6 described above and the normal notice effect corresponding to FIG. 7 described above will be described.

  FIG. 9A shows the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 immediately before the movable bodies 37a and 37b fall (0 to 5 frames of the moving image). As shown in the figure, the frame decoration LED 8 is composed of LED areas 8a to 8h, and the panel decoration LED 35 is composed of LED areas 35a to 35i. The decorative LEDs of the movable bodies 37a and 37b are composed of LED areas 37a 'and 37b' and LED areas 37s to 37v described later.

  In the case of the jackpot finalizing effect corresponding to FIG. 6, since the light emission mode of the frame (other than the button) is “white flash (only the X cut line)” in the period of 0 to 5 frames of the moving image, the LED areas 8a, 8c, 8e, and 8g emit white light. Further, since the light emission mode of the frame (button) is “rainbow flash”, the LED region 8f emits light in seven colors.

  During the period of 0 to 5 frames of the moving image, the board surface (other than the illumination figure) is in the off state, so that the LED areas 35a to 35i do not emit light. Further, since the board surface (figure) is “white blinking”, the LED areas 37a ′ and 37b ′ blink white.

  Further, during this period, both the illumination panel A and the illumination panel B are turned off, so that the display area of the liquid crystal display device 36 does not emit light.

  Next, FIG. 9B shows a state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 after the movable bodies 37a and 37b fall and reach the effect position (45 to 78 frames of the moving image). As shown in the figure, here, the LED regions 37s to 37v of the movable bodies 37a and 37b are visible to the player.

  In the period of 45 to 78 frames of the moving image, the LED LED 8a to 8h and the LED regions 35a to 35i flash in seven colors because the light emission mode of the frame LED and the board LED is “rainbow flashing”. For example, among the LED areas 8a to 8h, the LED area 8f of the button blinks seven colors independently, and the remaining seven LED areas 8a to 8e, 8g, and 8h blink while the seven colors are sequentially switched.

  During this period, the LED regions 37a ', 37b', 37s to 37v of the movable bodies 37a and 37b also emit seven colors. The illumination panel A having the same design as the movable bodies 37a and 37b emits light with an “illumination lamp specification pattern 3” (not shown). That is, since the frame LED and the board LED are integrated to emit light in seven colors, the appearance is beautiful and the production can have an impact.

  In the case of the normal notice effect corresponding to FIG. 7, each LED emits light with “pink flash” or “pink flashing” instead of the above “rainbow flash” or “rainbow flashing”. For example, in the period of 45 to 78 frames of the moving image, the LED LED 8a to 8h and the LED areas 35a to 35i blink in pink because the light emission mode of the frame LED and the board LED is “pink blink”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the details of the normal notice effect corresponding to FIG. 8 described above will be described.

  FIG. 10A shows the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 immediately after the movable body 37d (right government) starts driving (0 to 15 frames of the moving image). During this period, the light emission mode of the frame (other than the button) is “X sharp single-color high-speed flashing” and “fan section high-speed red-violet flashing”, so that the LED areas 8a, 8e, and 8g at the four corners flash rapidly in any color. The LED area 8c blinks in reddish purple at high speed. Further, since the board surface (other than illumination and government) is in the off state, the LED regions 35a to 35i do not emit light.

During the period of 0 to 15 frames of the moving image, the left government is “red purple flashing”, so the LED group 37c ′ in the storage position flashes red purple. In addition, since the right government is “red-purple high-speed blinking”, the LED group 37d ′ being driven blinks red-purple at high speed. Illuminating panel B flickers in the order of 0%, 100%, 0% and 100%. The image pattern IP _B displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 36 is an example of the illumination panel B.

  Next, FIG. 10B shows a state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 after the movable bodies 37c and 37d stop on the front side of the liquid crystal display device 36 (45 to 66 frames of moving images).

  In the period of 45 to 66 frames of the moving image, the light emission mode of the frame (other than the button) is “X sharp single-color high-speed flashing” and “fan unit high-speed red-violet flashing”, and “general-purpose portion is red-violet high-speed flashing” The LED areas 8a, 8c, 8e, and 8g at the four corners flash rapidly, and the LED areas 8b, 8d, and 8h flash red and purple at high speed. Further, since the board surface (other than illumination and government) is “red-purple high-speed flashing”, the LED areas 35a to 35i also flash red-purple at high speed.

Further, during this period, both the left government and the right government are “single-color blinking”, so that the LED groups 37c ′ and 37d ′ blink rapidly in either color. The illumination panel B blinks at high speed in the order of 0%, 100%, 0%, and 100%. However, since the movable bodies 37c and 37d have moved to the production position, the image pattern IP _B Only the player can see it.

  As described above, even in the normal announcement effect that the movable bodies 37c and 37d drive, the light emission of the LED of the frame, the LED of the panel, and the liquid crystal display (illumination panel) is combined with the operation of the movable bodies 37c and 37d. Appearance is beautiful and can produce an impact.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 11, the game management process performed on the main control side will be described. The game management process described below is a timer interrupt process that is executed for the main loop on the main control side when the power-on process ends normally.

  First, the main control board 24 performs a timer management process (step S10). The pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided with a plurality of timers such as a special symbol accessory operation timer, each of which measures a time related to the game.

  The main control board 24 manages a large number of timers by updating various timers (subtracting the timers) according to the processing state. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S20.

  In step S20, the main control board 24 performs prize ball management processing. This is a process performed when a game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 wins the first and second special symbol start ports 38a and 38b and the general winning port 42. For example, the general winning opening sensor 42 c inside the general winning opening 42 detects a game ball and transmits a ball detection signal to the main control board 24.

  When receiving the above signal, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls to the payout control board 29 (further, the game ball payout device 19). After receiving the control signal, the game ball payout device 19 pays out a predetermined number of prize balls to the upper storage tray 11 (or the lower storage tray 12 when the upper storage tray 11 is full). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S30.

  In step S30, the main control board 24 performs normal symbol management processing. This is a process performed when a game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 passes through the normal symbol start gate 40. Specifically, the start gate passage sensor 40 c inside the normal symbol start gate 40 detects a game ball that has passed through the gate, and transmits a ball detection signal to the main control board 24.

  When receiving the above signal, the main control board 24 acquires a random value of a normal symbol. Up to four random numbers can be stored in the lottery, and whether or not the random numbers are determined in the order in which they are stored.

  The main control board 24 transmits a control signal to the normal symbol display device 43b. In the normal symbol display device 43b, the normal symbol is changed by the blinking of the LED, and the normal symbol is displayed after a predetermined time has elapsed and stopped according to the lottery result. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S40.

  In step S <b> 40, the main control board 24 performs a normal electric accessory management process. This is a process for controlling the operation of the ordinary electric accessory according to the lottery result of the ordinary symbol. In the normal symbol management process (step S30), when the normal symbol stops in a hit state, the main control board 24 transmits a control signal to the solenoid for the ordinary electric accessory and starts the second special symbol for a predetermined time. The opening / closing member of the opening 38b is opened.

  The main control board 24 closes the opening / closing member when the predetermined time elapses or when a predetermined upper limit number of game balls are won in the second special symbol start opening 38b before the predetermined time elapses. The control signal is sent to the solenoid for the ordinary electric accessory. Thereby, the opening / closing member is closed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S50.

  In the normal symbol management process (step S30), when the normal symbol is stopped in a disengaged manner, the opening / closing member is not opened, and the main control board 24 does not do anything and does the normal electric accessory game process. Exit.

  In step S50, the main control board 24 performs a special symbol management process. This is a process performed when a game ball flowing down the game area of the game board 4 wins the first special symbol start port 38a or the second special symbol start port 38b.

  As will be described in detail later, when the start winning port sensors 38c and 38d detect a game ball, the start winning port sensors 38c and 38d transmit a ball detection signal to the main control board 24, and the main control board 24 receives the ball detection signal. In response, for example, one random number value is acquired from 600 random number values (special symbol lottery), and an effect mode for the acquired random number value is determined.

  The main control board 24 transmits an effect command to the special symbol display device 43a. In the special symbol display device 43a, the special symbol is changed by the 7-segment LED, and the special symbol is stopped in a manner of winning or losing according to the lottery result after a predetermined time elapses. Further, the variation of the special symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 with a decorative symbol that can be surely recognized by the player. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S60.

  Finally, in step S60, the main control board 24 performs a special electric accessory management process. This is a process of controlling the operation of the special prize winning device 39 (hereinafter also referred to as a special electric accessory) according to the special symbol lottery result.

  Although details will be described later, when a special symbol stops in a winning manner, it becomes a so-called big hit, and a special game of a predetermined number of rounds is given to the player. In the special symbol management process (step S50), when the special symbol is stopped in a detaching manner, the special electric accessory management process is immediately terminated. When the special electric accessory management process ends, the game management process also ends.

  Next, the special symbol management process performed in the game management process will be described with reference to FIG. In the special symbol management process (FIG. 11: step S50), the main control board 24 determines a special symbol operation status (waiting for change, changing, and confirmation time) described later, and manages each process.

  First, the main control board 24 performs the start port check process 1 (step S51). This determines whether or not a game ball has won a prize in the first special symbol start port 38a. When a game ball wins the first special symbol starting port 38a, the main control board side CPU 241 determines 600 random number values based on the ball detection signal sent from the first starting winning port sensor 38c. Get one random value from the inside.

  The ROM 242 stores an effect information table. The main control board side CPU 241 reads the effect mode corresponding to the acquired random number value from the effect information table. The main control board CPU 241 also acquires a big hit determination flag based on the random number value and stores it in the work area.

  When the game ball wins the first special symbol start port 38a during the special symbol variation display, the main control board side CPU 241 sends an effect command including a random value (lottery result) and effect mode to the reserved storage area of the RAM 243. Remember. The main control board CPU 241 sends an effect command to the liquid crystal control CPU 261 of the liquid crystal control board 26 via the effect control board 25. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 stores this effect command in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 as hold information. The hold information stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263 is, for example, a maximum of four pieces.

  In step S52, the main control board 24 performs the start port check process 2. It is determined whether or not a game ball is won in the second special symbol start opening 38b, and the same process as the start opening check process 1 is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S53.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is ON (step S53). The condition device is a device that operates when a condition for continuing the big hit when the big hit occurs, and determines whether or not the conditional device operation flag is turned on. If the condition device operation flag is on, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S58.

  On the other hand, if the condition device operation flag is not on, the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S54. That is, steps S54 to S57 are processing in a normal gaming state where no big hit has occurred.

  When the determination in step S53 is “NO”, the main control board 24 performs a special symbol operation status determination (step S54). If the special symbol operation status (hereinafter also referred to as a special symbol operation status) is set to “00H” or “01H”, the special symbol is “waiting for variation”, and the process proceeds to step S55.

  If the special figure operation status is set to “02H”, the special symbol is “changing”, and the process proceeds to step S56. Furthermore, when the special figure operation status is set to “03H”, since the special symbol is “during confirmation time”, the process proceeds to step S57. Hereinafter, processing in each special figure operation status will be described.

  First, with reference to FIG. 13A and FIG. 13B, the special symbol change start process (step S55) performed in the special symbol management process will be described.

  First, in FIG. 13A, the main control board side CPU 241 determines whether or not the number of special figure reservation balls is 0 (step S71). If the number of reserved balls in the special figure is 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S72. On the other hand, if the number of reserved balls in the special figure is not 0, the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S76 (see FIG. 13B).

  In step S72, it is determined whether or not a game ball is won in the first special symbol start port 38a or the second special symbol start port 38b. If the determination in step S72 is “YES”, a random value is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S79.

  When the determination in step S72 is “NO”, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure operation status is 00H (step S73). As will be described later, “01H” is set as the special figure operation status immediately after the special symbol confirmation time processing (FIG. 12: step S57) is executed.

  If the special figure operation status is “00H”, the determination is “YES”, and the special symbol variation start process is terminated. On the other hand, when the special figure operation status is not “00H” (when it is “01H”), the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S74.

  In step S74, the main control board 24 transmits a customer waiting demo command. The “customer waiting demonstration command” is transmitted from the main control board 24 to the effect control board 25 when the number of reserved balls in the special figure is 0 and the special figure operation status is “01H”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S75.

  In step S75, the main control board 24 sets 00H as the special figure operation status. With this set, the special symbol variation start process is terminated, but thereafter, in the special symbol variation start process, the process of “YES” is repeated in the determination of step S73 as long as no holding information or a start opening prize is generated.

  When the determination in step S71 is “NO”, the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the number of reserved balls in the special figure (FIG. 13B: step S76). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S77.

  In step S77, the main control board 24 transmits a hold subtraction command to the effect control board 25. Thereby, the hold display of the special symbol display device 43a (the right 7-segment LED) and the hold display displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 are decremented by one. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S78.

  In step S78, the main control board 24 shifts the reserved storage area. The reserved storage areas 1 to 4 having the same number as the maximum number of reserves are shifted by 1 as the number of reserved balls is subtracted. At this time, 0 is set for the holding storage area 4 in which the latest holding information is stored. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S79.

  In step S79, the main control board side CPU 241 performs a special electric accessory activation determination random number determination process. This is a special figure hit determination process based on the acquired random number value. Also, a process for storing the big hit determination flag in the work area is performed.

  In the present embodiment, since the big hit probability is different between the normal gaming state and the short time state and the probability variation state, the number of random numbers that are “big hit” is different. It should be noted that the number of random numbers, the random numbers for “big hit”, “reach”, and the like can be changed as appropriate.

  In step S80, the main control board 24 performs a game state transition preparation process. Here, when the big hit determination flag is ON, the game state transition table corresponding to the big hit type is selected, and values are stored in various buffers with reference to this table. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S81.

  In step S81, the main control board 24 sets the changing flag of the special figure to ON. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S82.

  In step S82, the main control board side CPU 241 reads the effect mode corresponding to the acquired random number value from the effect information table, sends an effect command including the random value and the effect mode to the special symbol display device 43a, and the effect command or effect An execution command is sent to the effect control board 25. The main control board side CPU 241 sends an effect command to the effect control board 25 when the hold information is not stored, and an effect execution command when the hold information is stored. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S83.

  Finally, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the start of fluctuation (step S83). Specifically, “00H” (erase) is set in the random number storage area 0. Also, since the special symbol operation status is set to “02H” (being changed), in the next special symbol management process, in the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 12: step S54), a special symbol changing process (described later) ( FIG. 12: Branches to step S56). Thereafter, the special symbol variation start process is terminated. Returning to FIG. 12, thereafter, the process proceeds to step S58 described later.

  Next, the special symbol variation display process and the effect image display process will be described. The special symbol display device 43a performs variable symbol display based on the effect mode of the effect command sent from the main control board side CPU 241. The effect image also includes decorative symbols that are displayed in a variable manner.

  When the hold information is not stored, the effect control board side CPU 251 controls the sound effect of the speaker 7 and the operation of each LED based on the effect command sent from the main control board side CPU 241 to perform the effect. When the hold information is stored and the production execution command is received, the production is performed based on the hold information (production command) stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263. The effect control board CPU 251 sends an effect command to the liquid crystal control board 26 when no hold information is stored, and sends an effect execution command to the liquid crystal control board 26 when hold information is stored. send.

  When receiving an effect command, the video display processor VDP 264 of the liquid crystal control board 26 receives the effect execution command based on the effect mode of the received effect command, and displays the hold information effect stored in the liquid crystal control RAM 263. Based on the mode, the image processing of the effect image data displayed on the liquid crystal display device 36 is performed.

  The liquid crystal control CPU 261 displays the image data subjected to the image processing on the liquid crystal display device 36, thereby performing an effect in the effect mode determined by the main control board side CPU 241. The liquid crystal control CPU 261 erases the hold information as the presentation by the hold information is started.

  Next, the special symbol changing process (step S56) performed in the special symbol management process will be briefly described. The main control board 24 performs this process when it is determined that the special symbol operation status is “02H” (being changed) in the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 12: step S54).

  The main control board 24 determines whether or not a special symbol accessory operation timer that is a timer related to the fluctuation time of the special figure is 0, and transmits a “variation stop command” when the timer becomes 0. . In addition, various settings at the time of variable stop are performed, but since the special symbol operation status is set to “03H” (during the confirmation time), in the next special symbol management process, the special symbol operation status determination (FIG. 12: step S54) The process branches to a special symbol confirmation time process (FIG. 12: step S57) which will be described later. Thereafter, the special symbol changing process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B, the special symbol confirmation time process (step S57) performed in the special symbol management process will be described.

  First, in FIG. 14A, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S111). Here, it is determined whether or not the time for the special figure confirmation display has elapsed. If the special symbol accessory operation timer reaches 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S112. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is “NO”, and the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is ended (see FIG. 14B).

  When the determination in step S111 is “YES”, the main control board 24 sets the special figure operation status to “01H” (step S112). Since the special symbol operation status is set to “01H” (waiting for variation), in the next special symbol management processing, the special symbol variation start processing (FIG. 12: step S55) is branched in the special symbol operation status determination. become. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S113.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the big hit flag is ON (step S113). If the big hit flag is on, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S114. On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not on, the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S115.

  When the determination in step S113 is “YES”, the main control board 24 performs various settings when the big hit symbol is stopped (step S114). For example, the big hit determination flag is returned to “00H”, and the condition device operation flag is set to “5AH (ON)”. Thereafter, the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is terminated.

  When the determination in step S113 is “NO”, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure time-count counter is 0 (step S115). The special figure short-time counter is a counter that counts the number of short-time states. For example, 0 is set in the normal gaming state.

  If the special figure short-time counter is 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 14B). On the other hand, if the special time counter is not 0, the determination is “NO” and the process proceeds to step S116.

  When the determination in step S115 is “NO”, the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the special figure short-time counter (step S116). The following steps S116 to S118 are processing relating to subtraction of the number of time reductions.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure time reduction counter is 0 (step S117). If the special figure time counter is 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S118. On the other hand, if the special figure time counter is not 0, the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S119 (see FIG. 14B).

  When the determination in step S117 is “YES”, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the time reduction end (step S118). For example, the normal state short state flag and the special figure short state flag are set to “00H”, respectively. Then, it progresses to step S119 (refer FIG. 14B).

  Next, in FIG. 14B, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure probability variation counter is 0 (step S119). The probability variation state of this embodiment is limited in number of times, and the remaining number of probability variation states is counted by the special figure probability variation counter.

  If the special figure probability variation counter is 0, the determination is “YES”, and the special symbol confirmation time process is terminated. On the other hand, if the special figure probability variation counter is not 0, the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S120.

  When the determination in step S119 is “NO”, the main control board 24 subtracts 1 from the special figure probability variation counter (step S120). The following steps S120 to S122 are processes related to the subtraction of the probability variation number.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special figure probability variation counter is 0 (step S121). If the special figure probability variation counter is 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S122. On the other hand, if the special symbol probability variation counter is not 0, the determination is “NO”, and the special symbol confirmation time process is terminated.

  When the determination in step S121 is “YES”, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the end of the probability change (step S122). For example, the universal figure certain change state flag and the special figure certain change state flag are each set to “00H”. Thereafter, the processing during the special symbol confirmation time is terminated. After the end of the special symbol confirmation time process, the process proceeds to step S58 in FIG.

  Finally, the main control board 24 updates the special symbol display data (step S58). Specifically, the special symbol of the special symbol display device 43a is updated. Thereafter, the special symbol management process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 15, the special electric accessory management process performed in the game management process will be described. In the special electric accessory management process (FIG. 11: step S60), the main control board 24 performs a special electric accessory operation status (a jackpot start process, a special electric accessory activation start process, a special electric accessory active process, Special electric accessory operation continuation determination process, jackpot end process) are determined, and each process is managed.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the condition device operation flag is ON (step S61). If the condition device operation flag is ON, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S62. On the other hand, if the condition device operation flag is not on, the determination is “NO”, and this process is terminated. That is, the processing after step S62 is processing when a big hit occurs.

  When the determination in step S61 is “YES”, the main control board 24 performs the special electric accessory operation status determination (step S62). If the special electric accessory operation status (hereinafter also referred to as special electric operation status) is set to “00H”, it means “big hit start”, and thus the process proceeds to step S63.

  If the special power operation status is set to “01H”, it is “being started special power operation”, and the process proceeds to step S64. Similarly, when the special electric operation status is set to “02H”, the special electric operation is in progress, and the process proceeds to step S65.

  Further, when the special electric operation status is set to “03H”, it is “special electric operation continuation determination in progress”, so the process proceeds to step S66, and when the special electric operation status is set to “04H”, the “big hit” Since it is “ending”, the process proceeds to step S67.

  Details of the processing in steps S63 to S67 will be described below. Further, after these processes are completed, the main control board 24 ends the special electric accessory management process.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 16, the jackpot start process (step S63) performed in the special electric utility management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the time of starting the big hit (step S131). Specifically, the accessory continuous operation device operation flag is turned on, and “01H” is set in the continuous number counter. The continuous number counter is used to count the number of rounds in the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process described later (see FIG. 19), and “01H” means the first round.

  Also, since the special electric accessory operation status is set to “01H” (during the start of special electric operation), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), the special electric accessory operation start processing (FIG. 15: Proceed to step S64). After various settings at the start of the big hit are completed, the process proceeds to step S132.

  In step S132, the main control board 24 sets various data according to the jackpot type. Specifically, the maximum number of rounds and the round display LED number are stored in the RAM 243, and the jackpot start interval time is stored in the special symbol accessory operation timer. The jackpot start interval time is used in a special electric accessory operation start process described later (see FIG. 17). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S133.

  Finally, the main control board 24 transmits a jackpot start interval command (step S133). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a “big hit start interval command” to the effect control board 25. Thereafter, the big hit starting process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the special electric accessory operation start process (step S64) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S141). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the jackpot start interval time has elapsed, or whether or not the interval time between rounds described later has elapsed.

  If the special symbol accessory operation timer reaches 0, the determination is “YES” and the process proceeds to step S142. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer has not yet reached 0, the determination is “NO”, and the special electric accessory operation start process is terminated.

  When the determination in step S141 is “YES”, the main control board 24 transmits a special winning opening release command (step S142). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a “big prize opening opening command” to the effect control board 25. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S143.

  In step S143, the main control board 24 stores the special electric accessory operating time corresponding to the jackpot type and the number of rounds in the special symbol accessory operating timer. For example, this time, when winning per winning variation symbol, the special electric accessory operating time of each round of 16 rounds is set in the special symbol accessory operating timer. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S144.

  In step S144, the main control board 24 performs various settings when starting the opening operation. Specifically, the special winning opening winning number counter is set to “00H”. “00H” means that the number of winnings is “0”.

  In addition, since the special electric accessory operation status is set to “02H” (during special electric operation), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), the special electric accessory operating process (FIG. 15) is performed. : Go to step S65). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S145.

  Finally, the main control board 24 performs a special winning opening / closing operation setting process (step S145). In this special winning opening / closing operation setting process, the main control board 24 sets the solenoid ON / OFF based on the big hit type, the number of rounds, the special symbol accessory operation timer, and the solenoid operation pattern. Here, the solenoid is a solenoid that drives the open / close door of the special winning device 39. Thereafter, the special prize opening / closing operation setting process is terminated. Thus, the special electric accessory operation start process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 18, the special electric accessory operating process (step S65) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not there has been a winning at the big winning opening (step S151). A winning is detected by the big winning opening sensor 39c of the big winning opening. If there is a winning at the big winning opening, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S152. On the other hand, if there is no winning, the determination is “NO” and the process proceeds to step S155.

  When the determination in step S151 is “YES”, the main control board 24 adds 1 to the number of winnings (step S152). That is, it is a process of counting the prescribed number of winnings that the winning prize opening sensor 39c wins in the winning prize opening. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S153.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the maximum number of winnings has been reached (step S153). If the maximum number of winnings has been reached, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S154. On the other hand, if the maximum number of winnings has not been reached, the determination is “NO” and the process proceeds to step S155. Note that the maximum number of winnings may vary depending on the type of jackpot.

  When the determination in step S153 is “YES”, the main control board 24 clears the special symbol accessory operation timer (step S154). By clearing the special symbol accessory operation timer, the process proceeds when one round game is finished (step S156 / YES). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S155.

  In step S155, the main control board 24 performs a special prize opening / closing operation setting process. Details of the big prize opening / closing operation setting process have been described in step S145 of FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S156.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S156). Here, it is determined whether or not the special electric accessory operating time has elapsed. If the special symbol accessory operation timer reaches 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S157. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer is not yet 0, the determination is “NO”, and the special electric accessory operating process is terminated.

  When the determination in step S156 is “YES”, the main control board 24 transmits an inter-round interval command (step S157). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits an “inter-round interval command” to the effect control board 25. The “inter-round interval command” is, for example, a command that informs the transition to the interval between the first round and the second round. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S158.

  In step S158, the main control board 24 performs various settings 1 at the end of the opening operation. Specifically, the special electric accessory operation status is set to “03H” (during special electric operation continuation determination). Accordingly, in the next special electric accessory operation status determination process (FIG. 15: step S62), the process proceeds to the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process (FIG. 15: step S66). The main control board 24 performs various settings 2 at the end of the opening operation (step S159). Here, the special symbol accessory operation timer is set to 1980 ms. This corresponds to a normal round remaining ball discharge time. Then, the process during operation of the special electric accessory is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 19, the special electric accessory act continuation determination process (step S66) performed in the special electric accessory management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 performs a special winning opening winning number check process (step S161). The details of the big prize winning number check process are the same as the processes described in steps S151 to S154 in FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S162.

  In step S162, the main control board 24 performs a special prize opening / closing operation setting process. The details of the special winning opening / closing operation setting process are as described in step S145 in FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S163.

  Next, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S163). Here, it is determined whether or not the remaining ball discharge time has elapsed. If the special symbol accessory operation timer reaches 0, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S164. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer has not yet reached 0, the determination is “NO”, and the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process ends.

  When the determination in step S163 is “YES”, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the maximum number of rounds has been reached (step S164). In the present embodiment, the determination is “YES” when the maximum 16th round (per probability variation symbol) or 10th round (per non-probability variation symbol) is reached, and the process proceeds to step S168. On the other hand, until the 15th round (per probability variation symbol) or the ninth round (per non-probability variation symbol), the determination is “NO”, and the process proceeds to step S165.

  When the determination in step S164 is “NO”, the main control board 24 adds 1 to the continuous number counter (step S165). In other words, the number of special game rounds is counted. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S166.

  In step S166, the main control board 24 stores the interval time between rounds in the special symbol accessory operation timer. The interval time between rounds is used in the process when returning to the special electric accessory operation start process (see FIG. 17). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S167.

  In step S167, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the time of continuation. Specifically, the special electric accessory operation flag is set to “00H”. The special electric accessory operation flag is set to “00H” in any of “start”, “between rounds”, and “ends” of the big hit round, but here “between rounds”.

  Also, since the special electric accessory operation status is set to “01H” (during the start of special electric operation), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), the special electric accessory operation start processing (FIG. 15: Proceed to step S64). Thereafter, the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process is terminated.

  Next, when the determination in step S164 is “YES”, the main control board 24 performs various settings at the end (step S168). Specifically, the special electric accessory operation flag is set to “00H”. The reason for setting the special electric accessory operation flag to “00H” is that the big hit round is “finished”.

  Further, since the special electric operation status is set to “04H” (during jackpot end), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), it proceeds to the big hit end processing (FIG. 15: step S67). become. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S169.

  In step S169, the main control board 24 stores the end interval time in the special symbol accessory operation timer. The end interval time is used in a jackpot end process described later (see FIG. 20). Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S170.

  Finally, the main control board 24 transmits a jackpot end interval command (step S170). Specifically, the main control board 24 transmits a “big hit end interval command” to the effect control board 25. Thereafter, the special electric accessory operation continuation determination process is terminated.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 20, the jackpot end process (step S67) performed in the special electric utility management process will be described.

  First, the main control board 24 determines whether or not the special symbol accessory operation timer is 0 (step S171). Here, it is determined whether or not the end interval time has elapsed. If the special symbol accessory operation timer reaches 0, the determination is “YES”, and the flow proceeds to step S172. On the other hand, if the special symbol accessory operation timer has not yet reached 0, the determination is “NO” and the jackpot end processing is terminated.

  When the determination in step S171 is “YES”, the main control board 24 performs various settings 1 at the end of the big hit (step S172). Specifically, the condition device operation flag, the continuous number counter, the maximum continuous number buffer, etc. used in each step during the special electric accessory management process are all cleared. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S173.

  In step S173, the main control board 24 performs various settings 2 at the end of the big hit. Details of the setting are as described in FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S174.

  In step S174, the main control board 24 performs various settings 3 at the end of the big hit. Specifically, since the special electric operation status is set to “00H” (big hit start), in the next special electric accessory operation status determination (FIG. 15: step S62), the big hit start processing (FIG. 15: step S63) is performed. Come on. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S175.

  Finally, the main control board 24 updates the gaming state notification information (step S175). For example, when shifting to the short-time gaming state after this, the short-and-short-time notification lamp is turned on. Thereafter, the big hit ending process is ended. The processing performed by the main control board 24 has been described above.

  Below, with reference to FIG. 21, the main process performed by the sub-control side is demonstrated. This main process includes an initialization process that is performed when the effect control board 25 is activated.

  First, the effect control board 25 performs an initialization process (step S181). This mainly performs various initial settings of the effect control board 25, and is performed only once at the time of activation. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S182.

  Next, the effect control board 25 determines whether or not the main loop update period has come (step S182). The main loop is a process from steps S184 to S189 described later, and its update cycle is 16 ms.

  If the update period of 16 ms elapses when the process proceeds to step S182, the determination is “YES”, and the process proceeds to step S184. On the other hand, in the state before 16 ms elapses, the update cycle is not reached, and therefore the determination is “NO”. In this case, the process proceeds to step S183.

  When the determination in step S182 is “NO”, the effect control board 25 performs various soft random number update processing (step S183). Thereafter, the processes in steps S182 and S183 are repeated until the update cycle is reached. During the period of this loop, a timer interruption process (see FIG. 22) with a period of 1 ms is executed. The effect control board 25 counts the number of interruption processes to determine whether the above 16 ms has elapsed. judge.

  When the determination in step S182 is “YES”, the effect control board 25 performs an LED data update process (step S184). As described above, steps S184 to S189 are processing of the main loop. Here, the data of the frame decoration LED 8 and the panel decoration LED 35 is updated to change the light emission mode of the decoration LED. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S185.

  In step S185, the effect control board 25 performs a received command analysis process. This analyzes the types of control commands (effect commands, character commands, etc.) received and stored by the effect control board 25 and makes various settings accordingly. For example, when the “big hit start interval command” transmitted in the big hit start process (see FIG. 16) is received, the effect control board 25 sets the start interval. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S186.

  In step S186, the effect control board 25 performs a main scenario update process. Specifically, the effect is updated according to the received control command. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S187.

  In step S187, the effect control board 25 performs a sound output process. Specifically, sound is output from the speaker 7 according to the scenario. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S188.

  In step S188, the effect control board 25 performs solenoid update processing. Specifically, detailed operation of the solenoid used for the movable accessory is set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S189.

  Finally, the effect control board 25 performs a noise countermeasure process (step S189). Specifically, it is checked whether the peripheral LSI is affected by noise. When this process ends, the process returns to step S182, and the subsequent processes are continued.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 22, the timer interrupt process on the sub-control side will be described. This is an interrupt process executed at a cycle of 1 ms with respect to the above-described sub-control side main process (see FIG. 21).

  First, the effect control board 25 performs initial setting of the CPU register (step S191). Specifically, the port refresh initial value is set. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S192.

  In step S192, the effect control board 25 performs an output process. Specifically, output processing of a solenoid or a motor used for the movable accessory is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S193.

  In step S193, the effect control board 25 performs an operation button input state update process. The effect control board 25 updates the input state when the operation button 13 is operated. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S194.

  In step S194, the effect control board 25 performs a switch input state update process. Specifically, input information such as the volume switch 31 is confirmed, and processing corresponding to the information is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S195.

  In step S195, the effect control board 25 performs a liquid crystal control command transmission process. For example, the effect control board 25 transmits the effect command selected by the effect counter to the liquid crystal control board 26. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S196.

  In step S196, the effect control board 25 performs a motor update process. Specifically, the detailed operation setting of the motor used for the movable accessory is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S197.

  In step S197, the effect control board 25 performs LED data output processing. Specifically, LED data output for turning on and blinking the frame decoration LED 8 and the panel decoration LED 35 at a necessary timing is performed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S198.

  Finally, the effect control board 25 increments the main loop update cycle work by 1 (step S198). This is a process of incrementing the main loop update cycle work by 1 in order to count 16 ms, which is the update cycle of the main loop processing (FIG. 21: steps S184 to S189). Thereafter, the timer interrupt process is terminated. The series of operations of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first embodiment has been described above.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the effect control board 25 is a board light emitter (board decoration LED 35, movable when the movable body (movable bodies 37a, 37b or movable bodies 37c, 37d) is stored in the standby position. The body decoration LED) and the frame-side light emitter (frame decoration LED 8) are controlled to emit light in different modes. Further, when the movable body is in the effect position, the board surface light emitter and the frame side light emitter are controlled to emit light in the same mode such as rainbow. Thereby, an effective presentation can be performed using the whole gaming machine.

  Next, another game board 4 'of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same structure as the game board 4 shown in FIG. 3, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  An opening is formed in the center of the game board 4 ', and the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 36' is disposed in the opening. The liquid crystal display device 36 ′ is a display that displays various effects such as symbols, background images, reach, and the like on which various numbers, characters, and the like are drawn.

  The liquid crystal display device 36 includes a first display unit 36a disposed on the front side and a second display unit 36b disposed on the back side.

  The first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b can display different images, respectively, or can display one image using both display units. Although details will be described later, the positions of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b can be switched at a predetermined timing, or an image can be displayed in a state in which both display units overlap.

  A panel decoration LED 35 is provided on the left side of the liquid crystal display device 36 '. The board decoration LED 35 is a decoration unit that enhances the effect by changing the light emission color and the light emission pattern in accordance with the symbol change display and the notice display in each game.

  A movable body 55 is disposed on the right side of the liquid crystal display device 36 '. The movable body 55 operates according to the effects in the game and the expectation level for the big hit. The game board 4 ′ is provided with a plurality of movable bodies in addition to the movable body 55, but is normally hidden behind the center decoration body 34 a.

  Next, the details of the liquid crystal display device 36 will be described with reference to FIGS. 24A and 24B.

  As shown in FIG. 24A, the first display portion 36a is a liquid crystal display portion on the near side (side closer to the player), and is located above in a fixed position. In FIG. 23 described above, the first display unit 36a is in a fixed position.

  The second display unit 36b is a liquid crystal display unit on the back side (the side far from the player) of the first display unit 36a, and is positioned below in a fixed position. At the fixed position, a part of the upper end of the second display portion 36b overlaps the first display portion 36a so that it cannot be visually recognized by the player.

  FIG. 24B shows five states depending on the positional relationship between the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b.

  State 1 is a state in which the first display portion 36a is at a fixed position. At this time, the display content of the first display unit 36a is “A image”, and the screen size and the actual display size of the screen are both 800 × 600 pixels.

  On the other hand, the display content of the second display unit 36b is “B image”. The screen size of the second display unit 36b is 800 × 600 pixels, but when the second display unit 36b is clogged, a part of the upper end is located on the back side of the first display unit 36a, so that the actual display of the screen The size is 800 × 438 pixels.

  State 2 is a state of the reverse rotation position where the second display portion 36b is located above. At this time, the display content of the first display unit 36a is "A image", and the display content of the second display unit 36b is "B image". The screen size of the first display unit 36a and the actual display size of the screen are both 800 × 600 pixels. On the other hand, the screen size of the second display unit 36b is 800 × 600 pixels, but when the second display unit 36b is clogged, a part of the lower end is located on the back side of the first display unit 36a, so The actual display size is 800 × 438 pixels.

  State 3 is a state (fixed position) where the first display unit 36a is located above. The difference from the state 1 is that the display content is a “C image” that is integrally displayed across the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b. When each display unit moves, control is performed so as to change the display position of the “C image” according to the position, so that the “C image” can be held without being destroyed.

  At this time, the screen size is 800 × 1200 pixels, and the actual display size of the screen is 800 × 1038 pixels, which is larger in the vertical direction than in the state 1 and the state 2. Thereby, a more powerful effect can be executed.

  State 4 is a state (reverse position) where the second display portion 36b is located above. Also in this case, it is possible to display a “C image” using two screens of the first display part 36a and the second display part 36b. Note that the control, screen size, and actual display size of “C image” are the same as in state 3.

  State 5 is a case where the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are at the same position. The first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b completely overlap in the front-rear direction at the approximate center of the moving range, but the display content is basically the first display unit 36a is on the near side. “A image”.

  At this time, the screen size and the actual display size of the screen are both 800 × 600 pixels. Note that when the state 3 or the state 4 is shifted to the state 5, the “C image” may be reduced and displayed as it is, or only a part of the “C image” may be displayed.

  Next, an example of effect display performed in the above-described states 1 to 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25, 26A, and 26B.

  First, FIG. 25 shows an example of a moving effect in which the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b move to change positions. FIG. 25A is “state 1” in FIG. 24B because the first display portion 36a is located above and the second display portion is located below (bottom-filled).

  At this time, the display content of the first display unit 36a is “A image”. The “A image” is composed of the characters “Geki” displayed in the window 60 a and the characters “Right-handed → ⇒⇒” displayed in the window 61.

  The display content of the second display unit 36b is “B image”. The “B image” is composed of the characters “heat” displayed in the window 60 b and the decorative design (the reach state of “3”) displayed in the window 62. Since the window 60a and the window 60b are relatively close to each other, the player can read “Intense fever” and recognize that the current reach fluctuation is a notice effect with a high expectation of a big hit. To do.

  FIG. 25B shows a state where the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are moving. In this state, the positions of the windows 60a, 60b, 61, and 62 are not changed in the display area, and remain at their original positions. Then, when the movement of each display unit is completed, it becomes as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 25 (c) is “state 2” in FIG. 24B because the first display portion 36a is located below and the second display portion 36b is located above (top-packed). Although the display content of the first display portion 36a is “A image”, the character “Geki” displayed in the window 60a changes to “heat”, and the position thereof is also within the display area of the first display portion 36a. Is moving above.

  Although details will be described later, a plurality of switches capable of detecting the position of each display unit by contact are provided on the sides in the height direction of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b. Then, when the positions of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are switched by the movement, and it is detected by the switch that each display unit has moved to the end, the above-described display change is executed.

  On the other hand, the characters “right-handed → ⇒⇒” displayed in the window 61 remain unchanged in the display area of the first display unit 36a as before. As described above, since the information display regarding the game is difficult for the player to understand when the display position is changed, the display position is not changed before and after the movement of each display unit and during the movement.

  In addition, although the display content of the second display unit 36b is “B image”, the character “heat” displayed in the window 60b changes to “super”, and the position thereof is also displayed on the second display unit 36b. Move down in the area. Also in FIG. 25 (c), the window 60a and the window 60b are arranged at relatively close positions, so that the player can recognize the notice display of “extreme heat”.

  On the other hand, the decorative symbol (the reach state of “3”) displayed in the window 62 remains unchanged in the display area of the second display unit 36b as before. This is because the variation of the decorative pattern can also be said to be an information display regarding the game. In addition, although the window 62 for displaying the decorative symbols was displayed on the second display unit 36b, the information display regarding the game is displayed on the first display so as not to be hidden on the back side of the first display unit 36a during the movement effect. It is preferable to display on the part 36a.

  In this manner, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the effect control board 25 controls the coordinates of some windows according to the movement of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b. Even in the case of returning from the state of FIG. 25C to the state of FIG. 25A again, when the switch detects that each display unit has moved to the end, the display is changed.

  Next, FIG. 26A shows an example of a moving effect performed in a state where one image using two screens of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b is displayed.

  FIG. 26A (a) is “state 3” in FIG. 24B because the first display portion 36a is positioned above and the second display portion is positioned below and one image is displayed using both display portions. .

  The display contents of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are “C images”. The “C image” is composed of an image of a character (girl) and a background (flower), as well as a decorative pattern (a hit mode of “6”) displayed in the window 62 of the second display unit 36b.

  Thereafter, a moving effect is performed, and when completed, the result is as shown in FIG. 26A (b). In FIG. 26A (b), since the first display unit 36a is located below and the second display unit 36b is located above and one image is displayed using both display units, “state 4” in FIG. is there.

  At this time, the positions of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are interchanged, but the character and background of the “C image” are held in the same state. On the other hand, the position of the window 62 does not move while remaining above the display area of the second display portion 36b, but the decorative pattern is displayed when the second display portion 36b passes the back side of the first display portion 36a. The hit mode of “6” is changed to the hit mode of “7”. As described above, the movement effect can be used for the re-lottery effect of the winning symbol in which only the decorative symbol changes while retaining the character and the background.

  The effect period of the movement effect is instantaneous, but other images may be displayed during this period, or a notice effect that makes each display unit shine in a specific color may be performed. In addition, a reduced image or a part of the “C image” may be displayed on the first display unit 36a on the front side.

  Next, FIG. 26B shows another example of the moving effect performed in a state where one image using the two screens of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b is displayed.

  FIG. 26B (a) is “state 3” in FIG. 24B because the first display portion 36a is located above and the second display portion is located below and one image is displayed using both display portions. .

  The display contents of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are “C images”. The “C image” is composed of an image of a character (girl) and a background (flower), and a decorative pattern (a “3” reach mode) displayed in the window 63 of the first display unit 36a.

  Thereafter, a moving effect is performed, and when completed, the result is as shown in FIG. 26B (b). FIG. 26B (b) is “state 5” in FIG. 24B because the first display portion 36a and the second display portion are completely overlapped at the approximate center of the movement range.

  Here, in the display area of the first display unit 36a, a cat group which is a notice effect with a high degree of expectation of jackpots is displayed on the front side of the character (girl) of the “C image” and the image (partial) of the background (flower). It is displayed. It should be noted that the decorative pattern (the reach form of “3”) displayed in the window 63 remains unchanged in the display area of the first display unit 36a.

  As described above, by additionally executing the notice effect while retaining a part of the character and the background, it is possible to make the player recognize the movement effect as an action with a high expectation degree of jackpot. Thereafter, each display unit may be returned to the original home position (state 3), or both display units may be moved to the reverse position (state 4) as shown in FIG. 26A (b).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 27A and FIG. 27B, the conversion of the designated coordinate position performed at the time of a movement effect is demonstrated.

  First, FIG. 27A shows the relationship between the image type and the designated coordinate position. When a moving effect is performed when a background image, a preview image, an effect image that is one of the effect displays, and the like are displayed on the first display unit 36a or the second display unit 36b, each designated coordinate position is set to Change as the display moves.

  On the other hand, game setting display such as volume / light quantity, game instructions such as right-handed, symbol, mini-reel, hold display, error display, game setting display, game count display, number of acquired balls, effect button mark, etc. When a movement effect is performed when displayed on 36a or the second display unit 36b, the designated coordinate position is not changed in accordance with the movement of each display unit. This makes it easier for the player to recognize important information that is related to the game.

  Next, FIG. 27B shows the on / off relationship of the switches necessary for changing the designated coordinate position. In addition, since the switch is illustrated in the example of the moving effect described in FIG.

  SW1 near the upper end of the first display portion 36a at the fixed position, SW2 below the lower end of the first display portion 36a at the fixed position, on the sides in the height direction of the first display portion 36a and the second display portion 36b. SW3 is disposed near the lower end of the second display portion 36b at the fixed position (see FIG. 28A). SW1 to SW3 are arranged so as to be in contact with the side end portion of the first display portion 36a and turned on, but not to be in contact with the second display portion 36b slightly smaller than the first display portion 36a.

  First, “state α” is a fixed position where the first display portion 36a is upward and the second display portion 36b is downward (bottom-filled) (“state 1” in FIG. 24B). At this time, the side edge of the first display section 36a is turned on in contact with SW1, but SW2 and SW3 are turned off (see FIG. 28A).

  Next, “state β” is a position where the first display unit 36a has moved slightly away from the upper end. At this time, SW1 is off, SW2 is on, and SW3 is off (see FIG. 28B). And this state continues until the 1st display part 36a moves to a lower end.

  Next, “state γ” is a reverse rotation position in which the positions of the first display portion 36a and the second display portion 36b are switched when the first display portion 36a reaches the lower end (“state 2” in FIG. 24B). "). At this time, SW1 is off and SW2 and SW3 are on (see FIG. 28C).

  In the effect of FIG. 25 described above, when the “state α” is changed to the “state γ”, the designated coordinate position is changed, and the characters “Geki” and “Heat” as the notice display are replaced. During the period “β”, the designated coordinate position may be changed according to the moving speed of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b.

  Next, an example of a moving effect in which the designated coordinate position is changed during the “state β” period will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 28A is “state α” in FIG. 27B because the first display portion 36a is located above and the second display portion 36b is located below. The “A image” of the display content of the first display unit 36 a is composed of the characters “Geki” displayed in the window 60 a and the characters “Right-handed → ⇒⇒” displayed in the window 61. At this time, the left end of the first display unit 36a is turned on by making contact with SW1, but SW2 and SW3 are not making contact and are turned off.

  Further, the “B image” of the display content of the second display unit 36b is composed of the characters “heat” displayed in the window 60b. Note that since the window 60a and the window 60b are arranged relatively close to each other, the player can read “Intense heat” and recognize that this is a notice effect indicating that the degree of expectation for jackpot is high.

  FIG. 28B shows a state in which the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b are moving, and is “state β” in FIG. 27B. In this state, the positions of the window 60a and the window 61 of the first display section 36a are not changed and remain in their original positions.

  However, the designated coordinate position of the window 60b of the second display unit 36b is changed according to the moving speed, and the window 60b moves downward in the display area. Thereby, the player can recognize the character “super heat” by the window 60a and the window 60b during the period of “state β”.

  Thereafter, the first display portion 36a and the second display portion 36b are further overlapped with each other, so that the characters “extreme heat” are temporarily displayed in the display area of the first display portion 36a. When the second display part 36b protrudes from the upper side of the first display part 36a, only a part of the characters “Geki” is displayed in the window 60b of the second display part 36b. That is, in the “state β”, the designated coordinate position is changed so that the player always recognizes the characters “extremely hot”.

  At this time, the left end of the first display portion 36a is off without contacting SW1, but is contacted with SW2 and turned on. Further, the left end of the first display portion 36a is not in contact with SW3 and is turned off. When the movement of each display unit is completed, it becomes as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 28C shows the “state γ” in FIG. 27B because the first display portion 36a is located below and the second display portion 36b is located above. Although the display content of the first display unit 36a is “A image”, the character “Geki” displayed in the window 60a has changed to “Heat”. Can be recognized.

  At this time, the left end of the first display portion 36a is turned off without contacting SW1, but SW2 and SW3 are contacted and turned on. Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the SW3 is turned on, it can be seen that the first display portion 36a and the second display portion are interchanged to be in the reverse rotation position.

  Also in this moving effect, the characters “right-handed → ⇒⇒” displayed in the window 61 do not move while remaining above the display area of the first display unit 36a. However, although the player can always recognize the character “Intense Heat” through the movement effect, there is a problem that the display area swings up and down.

  Therefore, in order to solve this point, the designated coordinate position can be changed as in the movement effect shown in FIG. 29A below.

  FIG. 29A (a) is “state α” in FIG. 27B because the first display portion 36a is located above and the second display portion 36b is located below. The “A image” of the display content of the first display unit 36 a is composed of the characters “Geki” displayed in the window 60 a and the characters “Right-handed → ⇒⇒” displayed in the window 61.

  Further, the “B image” of the display content of the second display unit 36b is composed of the characters “heat” displayed in the window 60b. Note that since the window 60a and the window 60b are arranged relatively close to each other, the player can read “Intense heat” and recognize that this is a notice effect indicating that the degree of expectation for jackpot is high.

  FIG. 29A (b) shows the moving state of the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b, which is “state β” in FIG. 27B. In this state, the lower half of the characters “Geki” and the characters “Heat” are displayed in the window 60a of the first display section 36a. In addition, the position of the window 61 is not changed and remains at the original position.

  In the window 60b of the second display portion 36b, the designated coordinate position is slightly changed according to the moving speed, but the upper half of the character “Geki” is displayed. A part of the character “Geki” is hidden by the frame of the first display portion 36 a, but the player recognizes the character “Greeting heat” by the window 60 a and the window 60 b during the “state β” period. Can do. Further, in this movement effect, it is possible to suppress shaking in the vertical direction of the characters “Intense heat”.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 29B, the display control of the above-described movement effect in FIG. 29A will be described.

  FIG. 29B (a) shows the drawing area R1 and the designated drawing position S1 of the first display section 36a in the “state α” of the movement effect of FIG. 29A. Here, the drawing area is an area that includes a character “Intense heat” and is actually a wider area than the illustrated one. The designated drawing area is a drawing area that is drawn on each display unit.

  In FIG. 29B (a), the designated drawing position S1 is determined so that only the characters “geki” are included from the drawing area R1. Further, by placing the characters “right-handed → ⇒⇒” in the upper right of the designated drawing position S1, a display corresponding to the first display unit 36a of “state α” can be generated.

  Further, in FIG. 29B (b), the designated drawing position S2 is determined so that a part below the character “geki” and the character “heat” are included from the drawing region R2. Thereby, the display corresponding to the 2nd display part 36b of "state (alpha)" can be produced | generated. Actually, since the upper end portion of the second display portion 36b overlaps the first display portion 36a, the player cannot visually recognize the lower side of the character “Geki”.

  In FIG. 29B (c), the designated drawing position S1 is determined so that the lower part of the character “geki” and the character “heat” are included from the drawing region R1. Further, by placing the characters “right-handed → ⇒⇒” in the upper right of the designated drawing position S1, a display corresponding to the first display unit 36a of “state β” can be generated.

  Further, in FIG. 29B (d), the designated drawing position S2 is determined so that both the “super” character and the “heat” character are included from the drawing region R2. Thereby, the display corresponding to the 2nd display part 36b of "state (beta)" can be produced | generated. Actually, since the lower half of the second display portion 36b overlaps the first display portion 36a, the player can only visually recognize a part of the upper side of the character “Geki”.

  As described above, in the movement effect shown in FIG. 29A, it is possible to perform an effective notice effect that is easy for the player to understand by changing the designated coordinate position according to the movement speed. In FIG. 29B, the drawing area R1 for the first display section 36a and the drawing area R2 for the second display section 36b are distinguished from each other. The designated drawing position S1 and the designated drawing position S2 for the second display unit 36b may be determined.

  Finally, examples of other movement effects will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 30A is “state α” in FIG. 27B because the first display portion 36a is located above and the second display portion 36b is located below. The “A image” of the display content of the first display unit 36 a is composed of the characters “Heat?” Displayed in the window 60 a and the characters “Right-handed → ⇒⇒” displayed in the window 61. .

  Further, the “B image” of the display content of the second display unit 36b is composed of the characters “geki” displayed in the window 60b. Note that the window 60a and the window 60b are separated from each other, and the meaning is unknown even when read from above, but the player can recognize that it is some sort of notice effect.

  FIG. 30B shows a state in which the first display unit 36a and the second display unit 36b move and are temporarily stopped, which is “state β” in FIG. 27B. Further, the positions of the window 60a and the window 61 of the first display section 36a are not changed and remain in their original positions.

  The position of the window 60b of the second display section 36b is not changed in the display area. Moreover, since the second display part 36b is hidden behind the back side of the first display part 36a by the movement of each display part, the characters in the window 60b can hardly be read. Thereafter, each display unit moves further, as shown in FIG. 30 (c) or FIG. 30 (d).

  When the state transitions to the state of FIG. 30C, the first display unit 36a is located below and the second display unit 36b is located above, so the state is “state γ” in FIG. 27B. Although the display content of the first display unit 36a is “A image”, the characters “Heat?” Displayed in the window 60a are changed to “Heat !!”.

  In addition, although the display content of the second display unit 36b is “B image”, the character “Geki” displayed in the window 60b is not particularly changed. However, for the first time, the player notices that it can be read from the top as “Intense heat !!” and recognizes that this is a notice effect (success effect) indicating that the degree of expectation for jackpot is high.

  When the state transitions to the state of FIG. 30D, the first display unit 36a is located on the upper side and the second display unit 36b is located on the lower side. At this time, since the meaning is unknown even if it is read from above, the player recognizes that the current movement effect is a so-called gas effect (failure effect).

  In the movement effect of FIG. 30, the symbol “?” Is changed to the symbol “!!!!” in the success effect that proceeds in the order of FIG. 30A, FIG. 30B, and FIG. The positions of 60a, 60b, 61 in the display area are not changed. Further, in the failure effect that proceeds in the order of FIG. 30A, FIG. 30B, and FIG. 30D, the characters and symbols are not changed, and the positions of the windows 60a, 60b, and 61 are not changed. .

  As an example of changing the movement effect in FIG. 30, at least one of the first display part 36 a and the second display part 36 b performs an action that vibrates rattlingly in the state where the movement effect in FIG. 30B is paused. It may be. By such an effect, the player can enjoy whether the player is in the reverse position in FIG. 30C or returns to the fixed position in FIG. 30D. In this vibration effect, the positions of the windows 60a, 60b, 61 in the display area are not changed.
