[2-9. Lock mechanism for upper hinge member on outer frame side]
Next, in the outer frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a locking mechanism for the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame 4 by the lock member 66 in the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. The description will be given with reference. FIG. 17A is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the main body frame side upper hinge member of the main body frame is removed with respect to the outer frame side upper hinge member of the outer frame, and FIG. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the state by which the main body side upper hinge member is attached to the hinge member. FIG. 18 is an explanatory view showing the action of the lock member in the outer frame.

  When the lock member 66 in the outer frame 2 is attached to the front extension portion 62 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 (normal state), the tip of the elastic portion 66 c is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hanging portion 65. In addition, the lock body 66a is configured to close a part of the bearing groove 63 bent in a square shape, and the distal end portion of the lock body 66a does not close the deepest part of the bearing groove 63. In the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63, a space is formed in which the body frame upper hinge pin 622 of the body frame side upper hinge member 620 of the body frame 4 can be inserted.

  The support mechanism of the body frame upper hinge pin 622 using the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 and the lock member 66 in this embodiment is such that the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63 and the front end of the lock body 66a. The right side surface of the lock body 66 is in close contact with the right hanging portion 65 (in this state, there is a slight gap between the right side surface at the front end of the lock body 66a and the right hanging portion 65 so that it is in contact with the right hanging surface 65). In the normal shaft support state, the center of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame located at the deepest portion of the bent bearing groove 63 and the front end surface of the lock main body 66a are opposed to each other in an oblique direction. It is in a state.

  In this normal shaft support state, the main body frame hinge pin 622 supporting the heavy main body frame 4 is in contact with the front end portion of the bearing groove 63. A load from 622 to the front end surface of the lock body 66a is hardly applied. That is, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. Since the front end surface of the lock body 66a is formed in an arc shape, the lock member 66 smoothly rotates when the operation portion 66b is rotated to rotate the lock member 66. Yes. In the drawing, the center of the arc of the front end surface of the lock body 66a is the center of the mounting hole 66d (the rotation center of the lock member 66).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in a direction in which the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is removed along the inclination of the bearing groove 63 formed in a square shape, the acting force is applied to the arcuate front end surface of the lock body 66a. F is a component force F1 (normal direction of the arc of the front end surface of the lock main body 66a) acting on a contact portion between the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame and the arc-shaped front end surface, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame and the bearing groove 63. The component force F1 is directed to the center of the mounting hole 66d (mounting screw 67) (the rotation center of the lock member 66) when divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface of the one side. The moment of rotating the front end of the lock main body 66 a of the lock member 66 in the direction away from the right hanging portion 65 does not act, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is connected to the front end of the lock main body 66 a of the lock member 66 and the bearing groove 63. Inside Clamped state is maintained between the.

  For this reason, even in a normal shaft support state or a state where the acting force of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is applied to the lock member 66, the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 is not constantly loaded, and is integrally formed of synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation caused by creep of the elastic portion 66c, and to prevent the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame from coming off from the bearing groove 63 over a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the front end portion of the lock main body 66a of the lock member 66 is rotated in the direction of moving to the right, the right side surface of the front end of the lock main body 66a contacts the drooping portion 65 and beyond. Since it does not rotate, the lock member 66 is prevented from protruding outside the front extension 62.

  Even if the shape of the front end surface of the lock body 66a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment does not occur due to the action of the component force F1 described above or the front end portion of the lock member 66 faces the outside of the front extension portion 62. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 66 (the axis fixed by the mounting screw 67) at a position where the rotational moment to rotate is generated, a load is not applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 at all times. Even if the lock member 66 rotates, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66 a only abuts on the hanging portion 65, so that the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension portion 62.

  When the main body frame hinge pin 622 of the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 is supported by the bearing groove 63 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60, the main body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63 from the open side of the bearing groove 63. The hinge pin 622 is inserted. When the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63, the hinge pin 622 on the body frame comes into contact with the right side surface of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66, and the front end of the lock body 66a is against the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates about the mounting screw 67 so as to move to the left. As a result, the lock main body 66 a that has closed the bearing groove 63 is retracted, the bearing groove 63 is opened, and the main body frame hinge pin 622 can be moved to the deepest portion (front end) of the bearing groove 63.

  When the body frame hinge pin 622 is moved to the deepest part of the bearing groove 63, the contact between the body frame hinge pin 622 and the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is released, and the lock body 66a is urged by the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates so that the front end of the lock member moves to the right, and the lock member 66 returns to the normal state. As a result, the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is accommodated in a space in front of the front end of the lock body 66 a in the bearing groove 63, and the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is rotatable at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. The state is held (locked) in the state.

  When the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is removed from the bearing groove 63, the lock member 66 is rotated so that the front end of the lock main body 66a moves to the left by operating the operation portion 66b of the lock member 66. The lock body 66a is retracted from the bearing groove 63 against the urging force of 66c. As a result, the deepest part of the bearing groove 63 and the opening communicate with each other, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame can be removed from the bearing groove 63.

[2-10. Crime prevention mechanism and ball biting prevention mechanism at the outer frame side lower hinge member]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ball engagement prevention for preventing the game ball from being sandwiched between the crime prevention mechanism and the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 at the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 of the outer frame 2. The mechanism will be described.

  When the outer frame 2 is assembled, an outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is attached to the left end portion in front view on the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50. The horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is mounted in a state of being placed near the left end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50 and the upper surface of the rear extending portion 51. The curtain plate member 50 includes a standing wall portion 54 that rises upward from the rear end of the upper surface. As a result, even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire enters the rear side of the main body frame 4 (pachinko machine 1) through the gap between the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the main body frame side lower hinge member 640. Since the tip of the unauthorized tool comes into contact with the standing wall 54 extending upward from the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, it is possible to prevent the unauthorized tool from being inserted further to the rear side. It is possible to prevent an illegal act from being performed via the outer frame side lower hinge member 70.

  Moreover, since the return part 55 extended ahead is provided in the upper end of the standing wall part 54, when the unauthorized tool contact | abutted to the standing wall part 54 bends upwards, the front-end | tip of an unauthorized tool by the return part 55 Can be folded further forward, so that unauthorized tools can be prevented from entering the rear side of the main body frame 4, and an illegal act is performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. Can be surely prevented.

  By the way, when the upright wall portion 54 extending upward is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the game ball is placed on the outer frame side while the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2. When falling on the lower hinge member 70 (horizontal portion 71), the game ball on the horizontal portion 71 is not discharged backward from the rear end of the horizontal portion 71 due to the presence of the standing wall portion 54, so the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 There is a risk of being caught between. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the discharge hole 74 and the left discharge hole 52 through which the game ball can pass through the horizontal part 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the rearward extension part 51 of the curtain plate member 50. And the right discharge hole 53, the game ball on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 can be discharged downward from the discharge hole 74 and the like. It is possible to reduce the game ball being caught between the two.

  Therefore, when the game ball is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the periphery of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is damaged, or the main body frame 4 is not closed in a normal state. It is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the main body frame 4 and illegal acts using the gap.

And three groove portions 301c that extend in the axial direction and are formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The base 301 a of the handle base 301 is formed so that the outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle mounting member 180. Further, the three groove portions 301 c are formed at positions corresponding to the three protrusions 183 of the cylindrical portion 181 in the handle mounting member 180. Accordingly, the base 301a can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle mounting member 180 with the three groove portions 301c aligned with the three protrusions 183, and the protrusions 183 are respectively inserted into the three groove portions 301c. By being inserted, the handle base 301 cannot rotate relative to the handle mounting member 180.

  The handle 302 includes four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d that protrude outward in the circumferential direction from the outer peripheral surface, and a rotation shaft (shaft member 305).

  The four first protrusions 302a, the second protrusions 302b, the third protrusions 302c, and the fourth protrusions 302d are sequentially provided in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. Specifically, the first protrusion 302a bulges so that the side surface in the clockwise direction of the front portion of the portion that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 bulges outward, and the opposite side is the opposite side. The side surface in the direction of is recessed (curled) so as to curve inward. The portion of the second protrusion 302b that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the portion of the first protrusion 302a that protrudes most clockwise by a rotation angle of about 85 degrees. Slightly low. The second protrusion 302b bulges so that the side surface in the clockwise direction of the front projection of the second protrusion 302b bulges outward, and the side surface in the direction around the counter-tick that is the opposite side is curved inward. And is formed in a shape similar to the first protrusion 302a.

  In the third protrusion 302c, the most protruding portion from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the most protruding portion of the second protrusion 302b in a clockwise direction by a rotation angle of about 70 degrees. It protrudes at about half the height. The third protrusion 302c is inclined substantially linearly on both sides, and more gently than the side face in the counterclockwise direction where the side face in the clockwise direction is the opposite side. The fourth protrusion 302d has a portion that protrudes most from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 away from the most protruding portion of the third protrusion 302c in a clockwise direction by a rotation angle of about 55 degrees, and from the first protrusion 302a.

The three attachment bosses 303a are attached to the front surface of the handle base 301 through the slits 302e of the handle 302 from the front. Since the attachment boss 303a of the handle cover 303 passes through the slit 302e of the handle 302, the attachment boss 303a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 302e, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 302. In this example, the handle 302 can be rotated within a range of a rotation angle of about 120 degrees.

  The handle unit 300 is attached to the handle attachment seat surface 112 of the door frame base 110 via a handle attachment member 180. The handle mounting seat surface 112 of the door frame base 110 is inclined so that the right end side is positioned rearward of the left end side in plan view and faces the outside (open side). The handle unit 300 that is attached to the pachinko machine 1 is also inclined to the outside in a plan view (in other words, its tip is inclined to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line orthogonal to the front surface of the pachinko machine 1). Are attached and fixed to the door frame 3. Thereby, the player can easily grip the handle 302 of the handle unit 300, and can perform a turning operation without feeling uncomfortable.

  The handle rotation detection sensor 307 of the handle unit 300 is a variable resistor. When the handle 302 is rotated, the detection shaft 307 a of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 rotates via the shaft member 305 and the transmission gear 306. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 307a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 682 in the ball launching device 680 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 307. The game ball is driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle 302 and the handle cover 303 are conductively plated, and the handle touch sensor 310 detects contact when the player contacts the handle 302 or the like. When the handle 302 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 310 detects a player's contact, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 is accepted, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302. The driving of 682 is controlled, and a game ball can be shot. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 302 by some method without touching the handle 302, the firing solenoid 682 is not driven and the game ball can be driven. I can't do it. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from playing the game by rotating the handle 302 in a different way from the original, and to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  Further, in the handle unit 300, when the player presses the single button 311 while rotating the handle 302, the single button operation sensor 312 detects the operation of the single button 311, and the firing control unit (illustrated) of the payout control board 951 is shown. Is omitted), the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 682 is stopped. This makes it possible to temporarily stop the playing of the game ball without returning the rotation operation of the handle 302 and to release the single button 311 before operating the single button 311 by releasing the pressing operation of the single button 311. The game ball can be driven again into the game area 5a with strength.

  Further, the handle unit 300 includes four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d on the handle 302, and the handle 302 is most rotated in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. Thus, when the game ball is driven most strongly into the game area 5a (so-called “right-handed”), the position of the first protrusion 302a when the handle 302 is not rotated is the fourth protrusion 302d. Therefore, by changing the handle 302 with the fourth protrusion 302d as the first protrusion 302a, the player can maintain the handle 302 in the “right-handed” position in an easy state. It is possible to reduce a person's feeling of fatigue and suppress a decrease in interest in games.

The relief portion 322b of the lower plate 322 is formed such that the right front corner is recessed in an arc shape toward the rear.

  The lower plate 322 includes a lower plate main body 325 whose upper and rear sides are open, a lower plate cover portion 326k that covers the upper side from the left end side of the lower plate main body 325, and an open of the lower plate main body 325. A dish unit base 323 that is closed at the rear, and a lower dish cover 340 that covers the upper side of the portion of the lower dish body 325 that projects into the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a. The cover 326 faces outward from the lower plate opening 326d. As shown in FIGS. 28 and 45, the lower plate 322 has a quadrangular shape in which the outer peripheral shape in plan view extends to the left and right, and a trapezoid in which the front side of the quadrangle is the base and the upper side shorter than the base is disposed on the front side. Are curved so that the left and right sides of the trapezoid extending obliquely are recessed backward. The lower plate 322 is formed such that the width in the left-right direction increases in the plan view from the front to the rear.

  As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44 and the like, the lower dish main body 325 is formed in a container shape whose upper and rear sides are open. The lower dish main body 325 has a flat bottom wall portion 325a, a main body standing wall portion 325b extending upward from an outer peripheral end excluding a rear end side of the bottom wall portion 325a, and a game ball passing through the bottom wall portion 325a. A lower dish ball removal hole 322a penetrating vertically in a possible size. The outer peripheral shape of the bottom wall portion 325a is curved so that the left and right sides extending left and right, and the front side of the quadrangle and the upper side shorter than the bottom side are arranged on the front side and the left and right sides extending obliquely are recessed backward. It is formed in a shape that combines a trapezoid. The bottom wall portion 325a (the upper surface thereof) is inclined so as to become lower toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. The main body standing wall 325b rises upward from the bottom wall 325a at a height that is two to five times the diameter of the game ball. The lower dish ball removal hole 322a is formed at a position to the right of the center in the left-right direction of the lower dish body 325 (bottom wall portion 325a). In the lower dish main body 325, the curved portion at the front right front corner of the bottom wall portion 325a and the main body standing wall portion 325b corresponds to the escape portion 322b.

  The lower plate cover 340 is formed so as to cover approximately the upper right half of the lower plate body 325. As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, the lower plate cover 340 includes a cover upright wall portion 340a that rises upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower platen main body 325, and an approximately upper end of the cover upright wall portion 340a. A ceiling portion 340b extending horizontally. The cover standing wall portion 340a rises from a portion from a part of the front side of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower dish main body 325 to the rear end of the right side. When the lower tray cover 340 is assembled to the tray unit 320, the rear ends of the cover standing wall portion 340a and the ceiling portion 340b are in contact with the front surface of the tray unit base 323. Further, the front end (the left end side of the front side) of the cover standing wall 340a is in contact with the right end side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326. Furthermore, the left end of the ceiling part 340b is in contact with the right end of the lower dish cover part 326k of the dish unit cover 326. In the lower plate cover 340, the curved surface portion of the cover standing wall portion 340a and the portion extending obliquely between the cover standing wall portion 340a and the ceiling portion 340b on the rear side correspond to the escape portion 322b. Yes.

  The lower plate 322 is covered with a plate unit cover 326 (the production operation unit 400) from the vicinity of the left end of the front end side of the front end side that extends short to the left and right, and more than half of the production operation unit 400 in the front view. Located behind. That is, the lower plate 322 is formed such that the right half wraps around the effect operation unit 400. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 45, the lower plate 322 includes a lower plate first area A1 (a cross hatch area in FIG. 45) located behind a lower plate opening 326d of a plate unit cover 326, which will be described later, and a lower plate. Lower pan second area A2 (shaded in FIG. 45) located behind the opening 326d on the right side (the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end side of the lower tray cover 340). Area). In other words, the lower dish 322 is more than half of the storage area in which the game ball can be stored (the area corresponding to the storage area in plan view and the lower dish first area A1 and the lower dish second area A2). It is located behind the rendering operation unit 400. In FIG. 45, the dotted hatch area is the remaining space (area) of the mounting space 326 j in the dish unit cover 326.

  In the lower plate 322, a lower plate ball supply port 323c that forms the rear wall is open to the right side of the center of the rear wall in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. More specifically, the lower tray ball supply port 323c of the lower tray 322 includes the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a (the right outside of the lower tray opening 326d) in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end of the lower tray cover 340. It arrange | positions at the lower plate | pan 2nd area | region A2 used as the back of the side. Accordingly, when the door frame 3 is viewed from the front, the lower tray ball supply port 323c is not visible from the player side through the lower tray opening 326d (see FIG. 19 and the like). Accordingly, the lower plate 322 is formed so as to bend toward the rear of the production operation unit 400 from the lower plate opening 326d on the left side surface of the plate unit 320 (the plate unit cover 326) bulging forward. The storage volume of the game ball is formed larger than the range seen from the front. In other words, the lower dish 322 is formed so that the lower dish second area A2 is larger than the lower dish first area A1. Thereby, when the lower plate 322 is viewed from the outside (player side), more game balls can be stored in the lower plate 322 than it looks.

  In the lower plate 322, the right half of the lower plate main body 325 in the left-right direction (lower plate second region A2) is, as shown in FIG. 41 (a), an effect operation unit mounting portion 326a (mounting space 326j) of the plate unit cover 326. The lower plate cover 340 covers the upper side of the portion of the lower plate main body 325 that protrudes into the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a. The lower plate cover 340 prevents the fingertip from touching the rear side of the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) when the player inserts a finger into the lower plate 322 from the lower plate opening 326d. can do.

  The lower dish 322 includes a lower dish ball removal hole 322a penetrating vertically in front of the lower dish ball supply port 323c in the lower dish second region A2. The bottom surface of the lower dish 322 is inclined so as to become lower toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. The lower dish ball removal hole 322a of the lower dish 322 is closed so as to be opened and closed by a lid member 334 that is operated by pressing the lower dish ball removal button 333. In the normal state, the lower dish 322 has a lower dish ball removal hole 322 a closed by a lid member 334, so that a game ball can be stored in the lower dish 322. When the lower plate ball removal button 333 is pressed to open the lid member 334, the game ball in the lower plate 322 can be discharged from the lower plate ball removal hole 322a to the lower side of the plate unit 320.

  The lower dish ball removal hole 322a of the lower dish 322 is disposed in front of (in front of) the lower dish ball supply port 323c of the dish unit base 323 that forms the rear wall of the lower dish 322. Therefore, in the state assembled to the door frame 3, the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is located on the right side of the lower dish opening 326d of the dish unit cover 326 and behind the frame unit 415 in the rendering operation unit 400. It is invisible from the player (front) side.

  As described above, the lower plate 322 is formed in a shape in which the outer peripheral shape is a combination of a front side of a quadrangle extending left and right and a trapezoid whose front side is narrowed, and the bottom surface has a lower plate ball hole 322a. It is inclined to become lower toward Therefore, the game balls supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c into the lower plate 322 in the state where the lid member 334 is opened and the lower plate ball hole 322a is opened are directly in front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c. Immediately it is discharged downward from the opened lower dish ball removal hole 322a. Since the lower end of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is located slightly to the left of the left end of the lower dish ball supply port 323c, the lower dish ball supply hole 322a is opened in the state where the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is opened. The game ball supplied from the mouth 323c to the lower plate 322 does not directly flow to the left side region of the lower plate ball hole 322a in the lower plate 322, and is discharged from the lower plate ball hole 322a. Become.

  On the other hand, since the right end of the lower dish ball discharge hole 322a is located to the left of the right end of the lower dish ball supply port 323c, the game supplied to the lower plate 322 from the vicinity of the right end of the lower dish ball supply port 323c. A ball | bowl will contact | abut to the site | part which forms the standing wall of the right side of the lower plate 322 in the main body standing wall part 325b. Since the standing wall on the right side of the lower plate 322 is curved obliquely with respect to the front-rear direction so as to face the direction of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a, the game ball supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c is When it comes into contact with the inclined portion, the light is reflected in the direction of the lower dish ball hole 322a, and is discharged from the lower dish ball hole 322a without going to the region on the left side of the lower dish ball hole 322a. (See FIG. 45).

  Thus, since the lower tray 322 of this embodiment is formed so as to guide the game ball supplied from the lower tray ball supply port 323c to the lower tray ball extraction hole 322a, the lower tray ball extraction hole 322a is formed. In a state in which is opened, the game ball supplied from the lower plate ball supply port 323c is immediately inserted into the region on the left side of the lower plate ball hole 322a in the lower plate 322 from the lower plate ball hole 322a. It can be discharged downward (dollar box). As a result, if the lower tray ball removal hole 322a is kept open, the game balls circulating on the lower plate 322 cannot be seen from the player side, so that they are paid out from the upper plate 321 or the payout device 830. An illusion that game balls and the like are directly discharged to the dollar box can be made to make it difficult for the game balls to feel annoying through the lower plate 322, thereby allowing the player to play a game (game ball driving operation). And a production image, etc.), it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, the lower plate 322 of the present embodiment includes the main body standing wall 325b of the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A extending upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall 325b. Even if the game ball supplied to the inside of the lower plate 322 jumps and jumps up, it is possible to prevent the game ball from entering the mounting space 326j from the lower plate 322, and the game ball in the lower plate 322 It is possible to prevent the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) from coming into contact with the rear side. Accordingly, the game balls supplied in the lower plate 322 and the game balls stored in the lower plate 322 are brought into contact with or pressed against the rear side of the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A). It is possible to prevent the rear side of the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) from being damaged by the game ball.

  Furthermore, since the lower dish 322 is provided with a lower dish ball removal hole 322a in front of the lower dish ball supply port 323c, when the lower dish ball removal hole 322a is opened, the lower dish ball supply hole 323c is discharged. Since the played game ball can be directly entered into the lower dish ball removal hole 322a and discharged downward (dollar box), it is difficult for the game ball to reach the front end side of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower dish body 325. Can do. Further, since the bottom wall portion 325a of the lower plate body 325 near the front end of the lower plate 322 becomes higher toward the front, the game ball toward the front end side of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate body 325 is inclined. It will climb the bottom, and the moving speed of the game ball can be attenuated. Therefore, the impact when the game balls released from the lower tray ball supply port 323c into the lower tray 322 abut against the lower tray covers 340 and 340A and the main body standing wall portion 325b can be reduced and damaged. Can be difficult.

  In the present embodiment, the lid member 334 closing the lower dish ball removal hole 322a may be interlocked with the upper dish ball removal button 327. Accordingly, when the upper dish ball removal button 327 is operated, the lid member 334 is also moved to open the lower dish ball removal hole 322a, so that the game balls discharged from the upper dish 321 to the lower dish 322 are further removed. It will be discharged | emitted from the hole 322a to the lower dollar box. That is, when the upper plate ball removal button 327 is operated to remove the game ball from the upper plate 321, the game ball of the upper plate 321 is discharged to the dollar box even though the lower plate ball removal button 333 is not operated. Therefore, it is possible to cause the player to have a strong illusion that the game ball on the upper plate 321 is directly discharged to the dollar box, and the above-described effects can be further exhibited. Note that the simultaneous opening of the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 for removing the ball may be performed simultaneously by driving a driving source such as a motor or a solenoid, or may be performed simultaneously by a mechanical link mechanism.

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate body 325 and the lower plate cover 340 constituting the lower plate 322 are separated, but the lower plate body 325 and the lower plate cover 340 are disassembled. It may be an impossible one. Moreover, although the cover standing wall part 340a of the lower dish cover 340 has shown the example which stood up from the upper end of the main body standing wall part 325b of the lower dish main body 325, the bottom wall part 325a of the lower dish main body 325 showed the bottom plate cover 340's The cover standing wall 340a may rise. Moreover, although the ceiling part 340b of the lower tray cover 340 showed the example extended substantially horizontally from the upper end of the cover standing wall part 340a, the ceiling part 340b of the lower dish cover 340 is shown in the main body standing wall part 325b of the lower dish main body 325. You may make it extend substantially horizontally from an upper end.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, although the example provided with the escape part 322b for avoiding the contact with the production operation unit 400 (2nd production operation unit 400A) of the lower plate 322 was shown, the escape part 322b is not provided. A lower plate 322 may be used.

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate 322 (the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, etc.) has a uniform surface shape without a through-hole, but a plurality of through holes through which game balls cannot pass are shown. It may have a perforated hole. Specifically, at least a part of the bottom wall portion 325a, the main body standing wall portion 325b, the cover standing wall portion 340a, the ceiling portion 340b, etc. of the lower plate 322 is formed in a fence shape having a gap through which a game ball cannot pass. It is good also as what was formed in the thing and net shape. It should be noted that a light emitter such as an LED may be disposed in the dish unit cover 326 (mounting space 326j) so that the interior of the lower dish 322 is illuminated (light-emitting decorated) through a fence-like or net-like gap of the lower dish 322. .

  In this embodiment, the lower plate 322 is formed by the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 (lower plate cover portion 326k) formed separately. However, the lower plate 322 may be formed by combining these four members in an appropriate combination. Specifically, the lower plate cover 340 and the lower plate body 325 are integrated, the lower plate cover 340 and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated, the lower plate body 325 and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated. What is integrated, one in which the lower plate cover 340 and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, one in which the lower plate body 325 and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, the plate unit base 323 and the plate unit cover 326 In which the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, and the lower plate body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated. The lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated, the lower plate body 325, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit. That the Tokaba 326 are integrated, that a lower tray body 325 and Shitasara cover 340 and tray unit base 323 and dish unit cover 326 is integrated, it may be like.

[3-3b-1. Ball guide part of lower plate]
With reference to FIG. 46, an embodiment in which the lower tray 322 of the tray unit 320 is provided with a ball guiding portion 322c for guiding a game ball from the lower tray ball supply port 323c to the lower tray ball removal hole 322a will be described in detail. . FIG. 46A is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which the lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion, and FIG. 46B is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which the lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion different from (a). It is a figure, (c) is explanatory drawing which shows roughly the example provided with the further different bulb | ball guidance part. In FIG. 46, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  The example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46A is substantially the same as the diameter of the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a in the portion between the lower plate ball supply port 323c and the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a on the bottom surface of the lower plate 322. A pair of sphere guiding portions 322c are provided that are separated from each other by a distance. The pair of ball guiding portions 322c are formed in a rail shape (protrusion) that extends back and forth in a state of protruding from the bottom surface of the lower plate 322. The lower plate 322 is inclined so that the bottom surface becomes lower toward the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. Accordingly, the game balls supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c into the lower dish 322 are guided to the lower dish ball extraction holes 322a by the pair of ball guide parts 322c without getting over the ball guide parts 322c, and the lower dish balls It is discharged downward (dollar box) from the hole 322a.

  The lower plate 322 in this example is similar to the above in that the lower plate ball supply port 323c and the lower plate ball are located on the rear side (lower plate second region A2) on the right side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326. The hole 322a is arranged in a straight line in the front-rear direction. Accordingly, the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball removal hole 322a are located behind the covering wall such as the effect operation unit 400, the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a in the dish unit cover 326, and the front end side of the lower dish cover 340. It is not visible from the front.

  Thus, since the lower tray 322 of this example includes a pair of ball guiding portions 322c, the game ball supplied from the lower tray ball supply port 323c in a state where the lower tray ball removal hole 322a is opened. Can be immediately discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower dish ball removal hole 322a without entering the left side area of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a in the lower dish 322. And since the game balls circulating on the lower plate 322 cannot be seen from the player side, the illusion that the game balls and the like paid out from the upper plate 321 and the payout device 830 are directly discharged to the dollar box. By making it difficult for the game ball to feel the annoyance that passes through the lower plate 322, it is possible to concentrate the player on the game (gaming operation of the game ball, a production image, etc.) and suppress a decrease in interest Can do.

  In the example of FIG. 46 (a), the ball guide portion 322c is rail-shaped, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game ball is lowered like a groove extending toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. Any material that can be guided to the dishball hole 322a may be used.

  Next, in the example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46 (b), the game ball released diagonally forward to the right from the lower plate ball supply port 323c passes through the right wall of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a in the lower plate 322. In addition to being formed in a shape that reflects in the direction of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a, a buffer portion 322d is provided at a portion where the game ball abuts. The buffer 322d is formed of rubber, foam or the like.

  Similarly to the above, the lower plate 322 of this example is also provided with a lower plate ball hole 322a in front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c, and the bottom surface of the lower plate 322 is lowered toward the lower plate ball hole 322a. It is inclined to become. Therefore. The game ball released straight forward from the lower tray ball supply port 323c is discharged downward (dollar box) through the lower tray ball removal hole 322a. On the other hand, the game ball released to the right front from the lower dish ball supply port 323c is reflected toward the lower dish ball hole 322a by the buffer 322d and discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower dish ball hole 322a. Is done. At this time, since the game ball abuts on the buffer portion 322d and reflects, the collision sound at the time of reflection is reduced.

  Further, the lower plate 322 of this example is also on the right side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326 in the same manner as described above (the production operation unit 400 that is the lower plate second area A2 and the production operation in the plate unit cover 326). The unit mounting portion 326a and the lower plate cover 340 are disposed behind the covering wall such as the front end side of the lower plate cover 340 so that they cannot be seen from the front.

  Thus, since the lower tray 322 of this example includes the buffer portion 322d on the wall portion that reflects the game ball, even if the game ball is not released straight forward from the lower tray ball supply port 323c, The buffer portion 322d can be reflected in the direction of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a without any sound and discharged downward (dollar box). Accordingly, when game balls and the like paid out from the upper plate 321 and the payout device 830 are discharged to the dollar box, the collision sound of the game balls cannot be heard from the lower plate 322, so that the bag is also discharged directly to the dollar box. By making it difficult to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, the player can concentrate on the game (game ball driving operation, production image, etc.) and suppress the decrease in interest Can be made.

  Subsequently, in the example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46 (c), a portion on the opposite side of the lower plate ball supply port 323c with the lower plate ball removal hole 322a in the bottom surface (bottom wall portion 325a) of the lower plate 322 therebetween. And a return portion 322e that reflects the game ball that has jumped upward from the lower dish ball removal hole 322a toward the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. In addition, the return part 322e may use the same material as the material which forms the lower plate 322, and may use the buffer material which relieves the collision sound at the time of reflection, such as rubber | gum and a foam. Moreover, the return part 322e is good also as what does not comprise the side wall of the lower plate 322, and may comprise a part of side wall (main body standing wall part 325b) of the lower plate 322.

  In the lower plate 322, the lower plate ball supply port 323c, the lower plate ball hole 322a, and the return portion 322e are arranged in a straight line from the rear to the front, and the lower plate of the plate unit cover 326 Behind the opening 326d on the right side (the rear side of the covering wall on the front end side of the stage operation unit 400, the stage operation unit mounting part 326a in the dish unit cover 326, and the lower dish cover 340). It is arranged so that it cannot be seen from the front. In this lower plate 322, even if the game balls flowing from the lower plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a jump over the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a, the return plate 322e causes the lower plate ball discharge hole 322a side to And can be discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower dish ball removal hole 322a. Therefore, the same operational effects as described above can be achieved.

  In the present embodiment, the above-described ball guiding portion 322c and the buffer portion 322d may be appropriately combined with the lower plate 322. Thereby, there can exist an effect similar to the above.

[3-4f. Effect of production operation unit]
The effects of the effect operation unit 400 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 61 to 63 and the like. FIG. 61 is an explanatory diagram showing a state where an operation button is pressed in the cross-sectional view of the effect operation unit of FIG. FIG. 62 (a) is a view of the rendering operation unit as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends, and a part of the operation button is cut away so as to be hidden by the first button decoration portion or the button frame of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows a site | part, (b) is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of a production | presentation operation unit. FIG. 63A is an explanatory view showing the appearance of the rendering operation unit as viewed from the front, and FIG. 63B is an explanatory view of the appearance of the rendering operation unit viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends. It is.

  The effect operation unit 400 according to the present embodiment can show the effect image to the player in accordance with the game state that is changed by the game ball being shot into the game area 5a of the game board 5, and the player can perform the operation. It is possible to entertain and entertain the player in the presentation presented to the player by operating the button 410.

  The production operation unit 400 has an overall height that is substantially the same as the height of the lower portion of the through-hole 111 of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3. In addition, the production operation unit 400 has a full width slightly larger than 1/3 of the full width of the door frame 3. The production operation unit 400 is arranged at the center in the left-right direction below the game area 5a (the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110) in the front view.

  In the rendering operation unit 400, the upper part of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415 is attached to the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326 a of the dish unit cover 326 in the dish unit 320. When the rendering operation unit 400 is attached to the tray unit 320, the bottom surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay board cover 442 serving as the bottom surface is spaced from the top surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the tray unit cover 326 of the tray unit 320. Is formed. That is, only the upper part of the production operation unit 400 is attached to the dish unit 320 and is attached in a suspended state.

  Further, in the rendering operation unit 400, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the rendering operation unit attachment portion 326a. As installed. As a result, the production operation unit 400 is configured such that the central axis CL of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a curved surface shape (substantially spherical shape) is at an angle of 63 degrees with respect to the vertical line. It is inclined to move upward as it goes forward. Accordingly, when a player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1 in order to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is arranged above the plate unit 320 (the production operation unit 400). Since the game board 5 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a, the center axis CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player. Therefore, when the player drops his / her line of sight from the game area 5a to the effect operation unit 400 (operation button 410), the operation button 410 is as close as possible to the front view (projection view from a direction parallel to the central axis CL). Thus, the operation button 410 and the door frame side effect display device 460 in the operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state.

  In the effect operation unit 400, the four guide boss portions 413c of the operation button 410 are slidably inserted into the four holding holes 431b of the base unit 430, and are urged forward by the operation button spring 438. In the normal operation state (the state where the operation button 410 is not pressed), the effect operation unit 400 causes the front end of the flange portion 413b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 to be attached to the frame unit 415 by the urging force of the operation button spring 438. The frame body 416 is in contact with a portion near the central opening 416a on the rear surface.

  In the normal operation state, the rendering operation unit 400 protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 in the frame unit 415 from the vicinity of the inner periphery of the button frame 412 of the operation button 410 to the center side (center axis line CL side). Yes. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 that bulges forward in a curved surface shape (substantially spherical shape) in the operation button 410, a portion that protrudes forward from the inner periphery (inside) of the button frame 412 is formed. The frame unit 415 protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 (see FIG. 51 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415 is about 15 cm, and the button lens 411 (the front end) with respect to the central axis CL direction of the operation button 410 is the frame unit. It protrudes about 4 cm forward from the front surface of 415.

  When the player presses the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 in a normal state, the operation button 410 moves backward along the central axis CL against the urging force of the operation button spring 438. Then, when the rear end of the operation button 410 comes into contact with the front surface of the unit base 431 of the base unit 430, the backward movement is restricted and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved surface shape (substantially spherical shape) is pressed.

  The operation button 410 has a very large outer diameter compared to the operation buttons for production provided in the conventional pachinko machine, so the periphery of the button lens 411 away from the center is pressed. There is a high possibility of being. More specifically, the operation buttons for effects in the conventional pachinko machine are attached so that the center axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, whereas the operation buttons 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of the present embodiment. Since the central axis CL is attached to be inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from above as in the conventional pachinko machine, as shown by the white arrow in FIG. The part away from the central axis CL of the operation button 410 is pressed.

  By the way, the operation buttons for performance in the conventional pachinko machine are formed with a flat surface on which the player presses, so when the operation button is enlarged with the flat part being pressed When pressing the part off the center of the operation button, the surface to be pressed is tilted so that the pressed part is retracted first, and the operation button cannot be receded straight, There is a possibility that the pressing operation cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of this embodiment has a curved surface shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface) in which a portion (button lens 411) pressed by the player bulges forward. Therefore, when a pressing operation is performed at a position away from the center of the operation button 410, the force is distributed over the entire operation button 410, and the operation button 410 becomes difficult to tilt, and the operation button 410 moves rearward straightly. Can do. Therefore, no matter which position on the front side of the operation button 410 is pressed, the operation button 410 can be smoothly retracted without tilting, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected and the operation button 410 is pressed. The operation to operate can be fully enjoyed.

  In addition, the production operation unit 400 has the vibration motor 424 attached to the lower part of the front surface of the substrate base 421 in the decorative board unit 420, and as described above, only the upper part is a dish so that the production operation unit 400 can be suspended. Since the vibration is generated by rotating the weight 424a by the vibration motor 424, the vibration is generated at a part farthest from the attached part because it is attached to the production operation unit attaching part 326a of the unit cover 326. The entire production operation unit 400 can be vibrated greatly (strongly), and the vibration can be transmitted to the player who is touching the production operation unit 400. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below the position where the player can relatively press the button (the position of the white arrow in FIG. 61), the player who presses the operation button 410 can be prevented. Strong vibrations can be transmitted, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Further, the production operation unit 400 is attached to the dish unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the lower surface of the leg portion 442a of the relay board cover 442 forming the lower surface and the bottom plate of the dish unit cover 326. Since a gap is formed between the upper surface of the portion 326i and the lower surface of the leg portion 442a comes into contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i when the operation button 410 is strongly pressed or hit, the frame The impact can be absorbed by the mounting portion 416e of the unit 415, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326, etc. being bent downward. Further, after the lower surface of the leg portion 442a contacts the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i, the downward movement of the rendering operation unit 400 is restricted, and the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415 and the rendering operation unit mounting of the dish unit cover 326 are restricted. It is possible to prevent an excessive force from acting on the portion 326a and the like, and it is possible to prevent the rendering operation unit 400 and the like from being damaged. Therefore, even when the operation button 410 is pressed or hit with a strong force when an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 is presented to the player, the operation button 410 or the effect operation unit Since 400 and the like are not damaged, it is possible to avoid interruption of the game due to the damage, to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player, and to increase the burden on the game hall side by making it difficult to break. Can be suppressed.

  As described above, the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 to be pressed by the player is formed in a curved surface shape projecting forward (a part of the shape of a substantially spherical surface), and thus a flat plate shape. Compared to the case, the strength and rigidity are high, and even if it is strongly struck, the impact can be distributed to the entire button lens 411 and is not easily damaged.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 63, the effect operation unit 400 includes a button lens 411, a frame side lens 417, a frame top lens 418, and an operation button interior decoration member 432 made of transparent members. Decorations such as first button decoration part 411a, second button decoration part 411b, first button decoration part 432f, and second button decoration part 432g formed on the back side are on the front side (player side) ). In addition, in the part where the uneven decoration is formed, the light is refracted in a complicated manner because the plate thickness is changed, so that the rear side is difficult to see through the part where the uneven decoration is formed. .

  The effect operation unit 400 includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 to the center side of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, and thus the uneven decoration of the first button decoration portion 411a. Thus, it is possible to make it difficult to see the rear at the outer peripheral portion of the portion that is inside the button lens 411. Behind the portion where the first button decoration portion 411a is formed (backward in the direction of the central axis CL), the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the peripheral wall portion of the operation button inner decoration member 432 A gap between the outer peripheral surface of the operation button 432a is positioned, and the outer periphery of the operation button inner decorative member 432 is moved from the front side (player side) by the first button decoration portion 411a positioned in front of the gap. It can be difficult to see. Thereby, even if the operation button 410 that can be pressed is provided with the operation button decoration member 432 whose position is fixed, the appearance of the operation button 410 can be prevented from deteriorating. The player can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable, and the operation button decoration member 432 can be disposed in the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, and the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved.

  More specifically, the effect operation unit 400 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, and the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410. The unit base 431 and the decorative board unit 420 on the rear side (back side) on the outer side are formed so as not to be seen from the player side through the transparent button lens 411. Specifically, in FIG. 62, the cross hatched part surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line is hidden from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, the outside and the back side of the operation button inner decoration member 432 are hidden from view. Therefore, the appearance of the operation button 410 and, consequently, the production operation unit 400 can be improved.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, the first button decoration portion 411a of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410 extends toward the central axis CL of the operation button 410 and is arranged in the circumferential direction. Thus, the second button interior decoration portion 432g formed on the front plate portion 432b of the operation button interior decoration member 432 disposed on the inner rear side of the operation button 410 extends in an odd octagonal shape centering on the central axis CL. As shown in FIG. 63, the concave and convex lines of the first button decorative portion 411a and the concave and convex lines of the second button decorative portion 432g intersect as shown in FIG. The decoration can be shown to the player.

  In addition, since the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated from each other in the front-rear direction (the direction in which the central axis line CL extends), the effect operation unit 400 is separated from the first button decoration part 411a. By the second button interior decoration portion 432g, a three-dimensional geometric pattern with depth can be shown to the player, and the decoration including the inside of the operation button 410 can be enjoyed.

  Furthermore, in the production operation unit 400, since the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated in the front-rear direction, if the position of the player's eyes moves, the unevenness of the first button decoration part 411a Since the degree of overlap between the line and the concavo-convex line of the second button interior decoration portion 432g changes, a moving decoration can be shown to the player, and the player can be entertained.

  In this way, the effect operation unit 400 provides the player with a three-dimensional decoration with movement by the first button decoration part 411a of the operation button 410 and the second button decoration part 432g of the operation button decoration member 432. Since it can be shown, a player's interest can be attracted strongly and it can be set as the pachinko machine 1 with high appeal power.

  Further, the production operation unit 400 is within the operation button 410 (inside the button frame 412) and behind the operation button inner decoration member 432, the operation button left inner decoration board 433, the operation button right inner decoration board 434, and the operation button.

[3-4g-6. Buffer unit]
The buffer unit 510 of the second effect operation unit 400A will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. The buffer unit 510 is attached to the lower surface of the door frame side second effect display device 460A, and reduces the impact when the second effect operation unit 400A is hit from above, so that the dish unit cover in the dish unit 320 is provided. 326 is transmitted to the bottom plate portion 326i.

  The buffer unit 510 is in contact with an elastically deformable flat plate-shaped buffer member 511 whose upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the projector mounting member 505 in the door frame side second effect display device 460A, and the lower surface of the buffer member 511. A buffer base 512 that is mounted so as to be relatively close to the lower surface of the projector mounting member 505.

  The buffer base 512 of the buffer unit 510 includes a flat plate-like main body portion 512a that contacts the lower surface of the buffer member 511, and leg pieces that protrude downward from the left and right ends of the main body portion 512a when viewed from the front and extend in the front-rear direction. 512b. The leg piece portion 512 b of the buffer base 512 is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326 i of the plate unit cover 326 in the plate unit 320 in a state assembled to the door frame 3.

  In this buffer unit 510, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly pressed or hit, the projector mounting member 505 mounted on the base unit 430 compresses the buffer member 511 in the buffer unit 510.

When the projector mounting member 505 moves further downward, the lower surface of the projector mounting member 505 contacts the upper surface side of the main body portion 512a of the buffer base 512. Since the main body portion 512a has a gap formed between the left and right leg pieces 512b and the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the dish unit cover 326, the projector mounting member is in contact with the upper surface side of the main body portion 512a. When 505 moves further downward, the flat plate-like main body portion 512a is bent, and the impact can be absorbed by the bending of the main body portion 512a. Further, when the projector mounting member 505 moves downward, the lower surface of the main body portion 512a bent downward contacts the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i of the dish unit cover 326, and further bending of the main body portion 512a is restricted. The impact is transmitted to the dish unit cover 326. In this way, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly hit from above, the impact can be absorbed in multiple stages, and the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415 and the effect operation unit mounting portion of the dish unit cover 326 are absorbed. It is possible to prevent an undue force from acting on 326a and the like and to prevent them from being damaged.

[3-4g-7. Effects of the second stage operation unit]
The operational effects of the second performance operation unit 400A will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 76 (a) shows the second rendering operation unit with the main screen facing forward, as viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends, and is hidden by the first button decoration portion, button frame, etc. of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going to be shown, (b) shows the site | part which is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of the 2nd production operation unit of the state of (a). It is explanatory drawing. FIG. 77 (a) shows the second rendering operation unit viewed from the direction in which the central axis of the operation button extends with the sub-screen facing forward, and is hidden by the first button decoration portion, button frame, etc. of the operation button. It is explanatory drawing which shows the site | part which is going to be shown, (b) shows the site | part which is going to hide by the 1st button decoration part of an operation button, a button frame, etc. in sectional drawing of the 2nd production operation unit of the state of (a). It is explanatory drawing.

  The second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment changes the decoration in the operation button 410 or changes the operation button 410 according to the game state that changes when the game ball is driven into the game area 5a of the game board 5. The effect image can be displayed in 410 and the player can be entertained, and the player can be operated by operating the operation button 410 so that the player can participate in the effect presented to the player. is there.

  The second rendering operation unit 400 </ b> A has an overall height substantially the same as the height of the lower portion of the through-hole 111 of the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 of the door frame 3. The second presentation operation unit 400 </ b> A has a full width slightly larger than 1/3 of the full width of the door frame 3. The second effect operation unit 400A is arranged at the center in the left-right direction below the game area 5a (the through hole 111 of the door frame base 110) in the front view.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the upper part of the frame main body 416 of the frame unit 415 is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326 in the dish unit 320. The second performance operation unit 400 </ b> A is attached to the dish unit 320 between the lower end of the leg piece part 512 b of the buffer base 512 of the buffer unit 510 and the upper surface of the bottom plate part 326 i of the dish unit cover 326 of the dish unit 320. In addition, a gap is formed. That is, the second rendering operation unit 400A is attached only to the upper part with respect to the dish unit 320, and is attached in a suspended state.

  Further, in the second effect operation unit 400A, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a. It is installed to become. Thereby, in the second effect operation unit 400A, the central axis CL (see FIG. 67) of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a curved surface shape (a part of a substantially spherical shape) is a vertical line. It is inclined at an angle of 63 degrees to move upward as it goes forward. As a result, when a player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1 in order to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is placed above the dish unit 320 (second effect operation unit 400A). Since the game board 5 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a, the central axis CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player. Therefore, when the player drops his / her line of sight from the game area 5a to the second effect operation unit 400A (operation button 410), the operation button 410 is as possible as the front view (projection view from a direction parallel to the central axis CL). Thus, the operation button 410, the door frame side second effect display device 460A in the operation button 410, and the like can be visually recognized in a good state.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the button shafts 452 held in the four holding holes 451d of the unit base 451 in the second base unit 450 are slid on the four cylindrical guide boss portions 413c of the operation buttons 410, respectively. It is movably inserted and is urged forward by an operation button spring (not shown). In a normal state (a state where the operation button 410 is not pressed), the second effect operation unit 400A causes the front end of the flange portion 413b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 to be in the frame unit 415 by the urging force of the operation button spring. The frame main body 416 is in contact with a portion in the vicinity of the central opening 416a on the rear surface.

  In the normal state, the second effect operation unit 400A has a central side (center axis CL side) from the vicinity of the inner periphery of the button frame 412 of the operation button 410 to the front from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415. It protrudes. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 that bulges forward in a curved surface shape (substantially spherical shape) in the operation button 410, a portion that protrudes forward from the inner periphery (inside) of the button frame 412 is formed. The frame unit 415 protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 (see FIG. 67 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415 is about 15 cm, and the button lens 411 (the front end) with respect to the central axis CL direction of the operation button 410 is the frame unit. It protrudes about 4 cm forward from the front surface of 415.

  In a normal state, when the player presses the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation button 410 moves rearward along the central axis CL against the biasing force of the operation button spring. When the rear end of the operation button 410 comes into contact with the front surface of the main body 451a of the unit base 451 of the second base unit 450, the backward movement is restricted and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved surface shape (substantially spherical shape) is pressed.

  The operation button 410 has a very large outer diameter compared to the operation buttons for production provided in the conventional pachinko machine, so the periphery of the button lens 411 away from the center is pressed. There is a high possibility of being. More specifically, while the operation buttons for effects in the conventional pachinko machine are attached so that the central axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, the operation of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment is performed. Since the button 410 is attached with the central axis CL inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from above like the conventional pachinko machine, the button 410 is separated from the central axis CL of the operation button 410. The part will be pressed (see FIG. 61).

  By the way, the operation buttons for performance in the conventional pachinko machine are formed with a flat surface on which the player presses, so when the operation button is enlarged with the flat part being pressed When pressing the part off the center of the operation button, the surface to be pressed is tilted so that the pressed part is retracted first, and the operation button cannot be receded straight, There is a possibility that the pressing operation cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment has a curved surface shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface) in which a portion (button lens 411) pressed by the player bulges forward. Therefore, when a pressing operation is performed at a position away from the center of the operation button 410, the force is distributed over the entire operation button 410, making it difficult for the operation button 410 to tilt, and the operation button 410 moves straight back. can do. Therefore, no matter which position on the front side of the operation button 410 is pressed, the operation button 410 can be smoothly retracted without tilting, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected and the operation button 410 is pressed. The operation to operate can be fully enjoyed.

  Further, the second effect operation unit 400A has the vibration motor 424 attached to the lower front surface of the substrate base 421 in the decorative substrate unit 420, and as described above, the second effect operation unit 400A is suspended. Since only the upper part is attached to the production operation unit attachment part 326a of the dish unit cover 326, when vibration is generated by rotating the weight 424a by the vibration motor 424, vibration is generated at a part farthest from the attached part. As a result, the entire second performance operation unit 400A can be vibrated greatly (strongly), and vibrations can be transmitted to the player who is touching the second performance operation unit 400A. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below a position where the player can relatively easily press the button (near the upper portion of the operation button 410), strong vibration is applied to the player who presses the operation button 410. Can be transmitted, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Furthermore, the second effect operation unit 400A is attached to the dish unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the projector mounting member 505 of the door frame side second effect display device 460A and the bottom plate of the dish unit cover 326 are mounted. A buffer unit 510 is disposed between the upper surface of the portion 326i. The buffer unit 510 includes an elastically deformable buffer member 511, and a gap is formed between the main body portion 512 a with which the buffer member 511 is in contact with the upper surface and the bottom plate portion 326 i of the dish unit cover 326. Therefore, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly pressed or struck down, the impact is caused in multiple stages by elastic deformation (compression) of the buffer member 511 or bending of the main body 512a of the buffer base 512. Can be absorbed, and it can be avoided that an excessive force acts on the mounting portion 416e of the frame unit 415, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a of the dish unit cover 326, etc., and the second rendering operation unit 400A or the like is damaged. Can be prevented. Therefore, even if the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is pressed or hit with a strong force when the player is presented with an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation is not performed. Since the button 410, the second performance operation unit 400A, and the like are not damaged, it is possible to avoid the interruption of the game due to the damage, to suppress the lowering of the player's interest, and to make the damage difficult. An increase in the burden on the game hall side can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 to be pressed by the player is formed in a curved surface shape projecting forward (a part of the shape of a substantially spherical surface), compared with a flat plate shape. In addition to high strength and rigidity, even if it is strongly struck, the impact can be distributed over the entire button lens 411, making it difficult to break.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, since the button lens 411, the frame side lens 417, and the frame top lens 418 are made of transparent members, the first button decoration portion formed on the back side thereof. The decoration by unevenness, such as 411a and the 2nd button decoration part 411b, can be visually recognized from the front side (player side) (refer FIG. 63). In addition, in the part where the uneven decoration is formed, the light is refracted in a complicated manner because the plate thickness is changed, so that the rear side is difficult to see through the part where the uneven decoration is formed. .

  Since the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 to the center side of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, a plurality of the first button decoration portions 411a are provided. It is possible to make it difficult to see the rear at the outer peripheral portion of the portion that is inside the button lens 411 by the uneven decoration combined with the triangle. Behind the portion where the first button decoration portion 411a is formed (backward in the direction of the central axis CL), the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the door frame side second effect display device A gap between the outer periphery of the screen unit 470 of 460A is located, but the first button decoration portion 411a located in front of the gap from the front side (player side) to the outside or rear side of the screen unit 470 This member can be made difficult to see. Thereby, even if the operation button 410 capable of being pressed is provided with the door frame side second effect display device 460A, it is possible to prevent the appearance of the operation button 410 from deteriorating. It is possible to prevent discomfort and to arrange the door frame side second effect display device 460A in the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, and to improve the appearance of the operation button 410.

  More specifically, the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration part 411a, the second button decoration part 411b, and the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 in the operation button 410, and the second effect display unit 460A. The second base unit 450, the upper shaft member 473, the lower shaft member 474, and the like that are on the rear side (back side) outside the outer periphery of the main screen 471, the sub screen 472, etc. It is formed so that it cannot be seen. Specifically, in the first position with the main screen 471 of the screen unit 470 facing forward, the upper and lower sides of the main screen 471, the left outer side of the peripheral decorative portion 472a of the sub screen 472, and the right of the peripheral decorative member 478 The outer part (the cross hatched part surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 76) is hidden from the player side.

  On the other hand, in the second position with the sub-screen 472 of the screen unit 470 facing forward, the outer portion of the annular peripheral decorative portion 472a of the sub-screen 472 (the cross-hatched portion surrounded by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 76). ) Is hidden from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, it is difficult to see the outside and the back side of the main screen 471 and the sub screen 472. It is possible to hide, and the appearance of the operation button 410 and by extension the second rendering operation unit 400A can be improved.

  In the state of the first position where the main screen 471 is facing forward, the screen general portion of the sub-screen 472 is caused by the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412 and the like of the button lens 411. 472b and the sub-screen decoration member 476, and the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft member 474 are difficult to see (see FIG. 76). This makes it difficult for the player to notice the presence of the sub-screen 472 and the fact that the main screen 471 can be rotated. A movement exceeding the player's expectation is performed in the button 410, so that a strong impact can be given to the player, and the player can be entertained and a decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Further, in the second position where the sub-screen 472 faces forward, the upper shaft member 473 and the lower shaft are moved by the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412 and the like of the button lens 411. The member 474 is difficult to see (see FIG. 77). This makes it difficult for the player to notice that the sub-screen 472 (sub-screen decoration member 476) can rotate, so that the impact when the sub-screen 472 (screen unit 470) is rotated can be increased. The player can be entertained.

  Further, the second effect operation unit 400A has a center side from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 in the button lens 411 that can visually recognize the door frame side second effect display device 460A disposed on the rear side of the operation button 410. The door frame side second effect display that is provided with a polyhedral first button decoration portion 411a that is a combination of a plurality of triangular surfaces within a predetermined width range and that is disposed on the inner rear side of the operation button 410. The device 460A includes a peripheral decoration portion 472a of a sub-screen 472 in which a plurality of square weights are arranged, and a peripheral decoration member 478. Thereby, the decoration (first button decoration part 411a) made of a triangle arranged on the front side and the decoration made of a quadrangle arranged on the rear side (the peripheral decoration part 472a and the peripheral decoration member 478) overlap each other so as to intersect. As a result, the player can show a complicated geometric pattern to the player, improve the appearance, and suppress a decrease in the interest of the player.

  Further, as described above, the first button decoration part 411a mainly composed of a triangle, the peripheral decoration part 472a mainly composed of a quadrangle, and the peripheral decoration member 478 are separated from each other in the front-rear direction.

  The door frame top unit 570 includes a top middle decorative member 576 that protrudes forward at the center in the left-right direction, and is curved so that the front surfaces on both the left and right sides of the top middle decorative member 576 are curled backward. Therefore, it is possible to make the player have an illusion that only the top middle decorative member 576 protrudes greatly forward, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the pachinko machine 1.

  Further, the door frame top unit 570 includes a top left decorative lens member 579 and a top right decorative lens member 580 that decorate the left and right sides of the top middle decorative member 576 disposed at the center, and the left and right sides of the top middle decorative member 576. It is formed so as to extend from both sides to a top left decorative portion 574e and a top right decorative portion 574f formed at the left and right ends of the unit main body 574. Thereby, the front upper part of the door frame 3 can be entirely decorated by the door frame top unit 570.

  At this time, in the door frame top unit 570, the front surface is protected by a speaker cover 575 made of punching metal behind each of the left and right ends near the top left decorative lens member 579 and the top right decorative lens member 580. The speaker cover 575 faces the front from between the three decorative lens portions 579a and 580a that are separated from each other above and below the top left decorative lens member 579 and the top right decorative lens member 580. The player can listen to the sound output from the left and right upper speakers 573 in a good state, and can enjoy high-quality stereo sound.

  Further, the door frame top unit 570 includes a door frame top left decorative substrate 583 and a door frame top right decorative by a plurality of light guide members 578 provided on the rear side of the top left decorative lens member 579 and the top right decorative lens member 580.

[3-8. Effect of door frame]
The effects of the door frame 3 will be described. The door frame 3 in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment has the through-holes 111 penetrating through the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 in the front and rear directions and in the vertical and horizontal directions as compared with the conventional pachinko machine. The vertical height of the plate unit 320 and the door frame top unit 570 is reduced in accordance with the enlargement of the through-hole 111, and the horizontal width of the door frame left side unit 530 and the door frame right side unit 550 Is made smaller. Thereby, the front surface of the game board 5 (game area 5a) attached to the main body frame 4 can be seen as widely as possible from the player (front) through the through-hole 111 (glass unit 190). This corresponds to the game board 5 having a wide game area 5a.

  The door frame 3 has a production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) having a large hemispherical operation button 410 at the center in the left-right direction of the dish unit 320 bulging forward on the lower side of the through-hole 111. The front surface of the lower half (the lower side of the upper plate 321) on both the left and right sides of the production operation unit 400 (the front surface of the front plate lower decorative portion 326c) is recessed so as to bend backward (the plate unit). 320, a shape curved in a concave shape so that the front surfaces on both the left and right sides of the rendering operation unit 400 are positioned rearward than a straight line connecting the front ends of the left and right ends of 320 and the front ends of the left and right ends of the rendering operation unit 400. ing. As a result, the production operation unit 400 attached to the front surface at the center in the left-right direction of the plate unit 320 appears to protrude greatly forward, so that the production operation unit 400 is highlighted and shown to the player. It is possible to pay attention to the production operation unit 400.

  The door frame 3 tilts the presentation operation unit 400 disposed on the front surface of the dish unit 320 below the through-hole 111 so that the large hemispherical transparent operation button 410 faces obliquely upward and forward. Therefore, when the player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1, the operation button 410 faces the player's head (face), and the player drops his line of sight and moves the rendering operation unit 400. When viewed, the operation button 410 can be seen in a state substantially close to the front, the large and round operation button 410 can be visually recognized strongly, and an expectation can be enhanced for the effect using the operation button 410. At the same time, the effect image displayed on the door frame side effect display device 460 arranged in the transparent operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state, and the effect image can be sufficiently enjoyed. Maseru can be.

  Further, the door frame 3 includes an operation button 410 having a diameter substantially the same as the overall height of the plate unit 320 and bulging forward, so that when the operation button 410 is operated, the hand frame can be moved by a short distance. Any part of the operation button 410 can be touched, and “fast pressing” of the operation button 410 can be performed relatively easily. In addition, since the operation button 410, which has a large diameter and bulges forward, is mounted in an inclined state, it can be pressed from above like the operation buttons of a conventional pachinko machine, and can be operated to the left or right. The operation button 410 can be operated satisfactorily or from the front, and the operation buttons 410 having good operability can be more enjoyed.

  In addition, the door frame 3 is mounted with the stage operation unit 400 in a suspended state by the dish unit 320 and includes a vibration motor 424 that generates vibration at the lower part of the stage operation unit 400. When vibration is generated by rotating the vibration motor 424 in accordance with the state, strong vibration can be transmitted to the player's hand touching the upper part of the operation button 410, and the player can be surprised by the operation button. The production using 410 can be further enjoyed.

  Furthermore, since the door frame 3 is provided with a large operation button 410 (production operation unit 400) over the entire height of the plate unit 320 in the center of the front surface of the plate unit 320, the upper plate 321 is compared with a conventional pachinko machine. Because the lower plate 322 underneath is inconspicuous, it can make it easier for players who are familiar with conventional pachinko machines to recognize that they are clearly different, and appeal to the players strongly. A powerful pachinko machine 1 can be obtained.

  Further, the door frame 3 is formed so that the lower plate 322 wraps around the rear side of the production operation unit 400 with respect to the lower plate opening 326d that is opened on the left side of the production operation unit 400 on the front surface of the plate unit 320. Therefore, the volume of the lower plate 322 can be increased with respect to the size of the lower plate opening 326d, and a sufficient number of game balls can be secured in the lower plate 322. In addition, since the rear part of the lower plate 322 wraps around to the rear side of the production operation unit 400, when the player puts his left hand into the lower plate 322 or puts his / her finger on the lower plate opening 326d. Since it becomes difficult for the fingertips to touch the wall behind the lower plate 322, it is possible to make it difficult to give the player a sense of incongruity, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game and to increase the size of the lower plate opening 326d. Compared to this, it can be recognized by tactile sense that the volume of the lower plate 322 is large.

  Further, the door frame 3 has a lower tray ball supply port 323c through which game balls from the upper plate 321 are discharged to the lower plate 322, and a bottom for pulling out the game balls of the lower plate 322 into a dollar box or the like below the plate unit 320. The countersunk hole 322a is arranged linearly in the front-rear direction, and is arranged on the right outside of the lower dish opening 326d in the front view (on the right side of the left end of the frame unit 415 of the rendering operation unit 400). That is, the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball removal hole 322a are connected to the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a (the right outer side of the lower tray opening 326d) in the tray unit cover 326, and the front end of the lower tray cover 340. Since the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball removal hole 322a are not visible from the player side, the appearance of the dish unit 320 (pachinko machine 1) can be refreshed. The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.

  Further, the door frame 3 has a lower plate ball hole 322a opened in the lower plate 322 because the lower plate ball hole 322a is disposed in front of the lower plate ball supply port 323c (directly in front). Then, as soon as the game ball released from the upper plate 321 or the like to the lower plate 322 enters the lower plate 322, it is discharged from the lower plate ball removal hole 322a to a lower dollar box or the like. At this time, since the player cannot see the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball removal hole 322a, the flow of the game balls discharged from the upper tray 321 and the like through the lower tray 322 to the dollar box is also included. I can't see it. Accordingly, the player can have an illusion that the game ball on the upper plate 321 or the game ball discharged from the payout device 830 in a state where the upper plate 321 is full is directly discharged to the dollar box. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the game ball to feel the annoyance passing through the lower plate 322, and to reduce the interest by dedicating the player to the game (gaming operation of the game ball, production image, etc.). it can.

  In addition, the door frame 3 has a lower plate ball removal hole 322a disposed at the front left side of the lower plate ball supply port 323c in the lower plate 322, and the lower plate 322 standing on the right side of the lower plate ball removal hole 322a. Since the raised wall portion is obliquely curved so as to face the direction of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a, the game balls supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c to the lower dish 322 are directly It can be guided to the punching hole 322a, or can be indirectly guided to the lower dish ball punching hole 322a by being reflected on the right wall. As a result, in a state where the lower dish ball removal hole 322a remains open, the game ball supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c to the lower dish 322 is an area on the left side of the lower dish ball removal hole 322a in the lower dish 322. Since it can be discharged downward from the lower tray ball removal hole 322a without entering the lower tray first region A1, the lower side of the lower plate 322 is displayed without showing the player the game balls circulating in the lower tray 322. The game ball can be discharged downward (dollar box), and the same effects as described above can be achieved.

  Further, the door frame 3 includes a lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326 facing the front of the lower plate 322 between the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a (the effect operation unit 400) and the lower speaker opening 326e. Therefore, even if the player puts his hand on the lower plate opening 326d or puts his hand on the lower plate 322, the front of the lower speaker port 326e is not blocked by the player's hand. The sound from the speaker 921 in the substrate unit 900 can be output well forward, and the sound from the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed. In addition, when the player puts his hand in the lower plate 322 or approaches the lower plate 322, the player can feel the vibration caused by the heavy bass from the speaker 921 output forward from the lower speaker port 326e, and the game Entertainers and suppress the decline of interest.

  Moreover, since the door frame 3 is provided with the door frame right side unit 550 which is plate-like and protrudes forward from the right side of the through-hole 111, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island facility of the game hall, the door Since the frame right side unit 550 can exert an effect such as a partition between the pachinko machine adjacent to the right side, the player who plays with the pachinko machine 1 can play in a private room. The game can be played in a relaxed atmosphere without bothering other players around you.

  Furthermore, the door frame 3 can be light-decorated on the front end and both left and right sides of the door frame right side unit 550 that is plate-like and protrudes greatly forward, so that the game hall installed with the pachinko machines 1 arranged side by side Even if the pachinko machine 1 is not located in front of the pachinko machine 1, the presence of the pachinko machine 1 can be informed from a distance such as from the side along the island facility, and the pachinko machine has a high appeal to the player. Machine 1 can be used.

  Further, the door frame 3 includes a top middle decorative member 576 that protrudes forward at the center in the left-right direction in the door frame top unit 570 on the upper side of the through-hole 111, and the front surfaces on both the left and right sides of the top middle decorative member 576, A shape that is recessed so as to squeeze backward (the top middle decorative member in the door frame top unit 570 rather than the straight line connecting the front ends of the left and right ends of the door frame top unit 570 and the front ends of the left and right ends of the top middle decorative member 576 576 is formed in a concavely curved shape so that the front surfaces of the left and right sides of 576 are located rearward. As a result, only the top middle decorative member 576 of the door frame top unit 570 appears to protrude greatly forward, so that the player can make the top middle decorative member 576 stand out and emphasized. The medium decorative member 576 can be strongly noted.

  By the way, a pair of upper speakers spaced apart from each other are provided on the upper part of the door frame in the conventional pachinko machine, and the two upper speakers are conspicuous. On the other hand, the door frame 3 according to the present embodiment has a pair of upper portions whose front surfaces are protected by speaker covers 575 made of punching metal at both left and right ends in the door frame top unit 570 attached to the upper side of the through-hole 111. In addition to the speaker 573, a top left decorative lens member 579 and a top right decorative lens member 580 extending from the left and right sides of the center top middle decorative member 576 to the left and right ends through the front of the speaker cover 575 are provided. The entire front surface of the left decorative lens member 579 and the top right decorative lens member 580 can be decorated with light emission. Thereby, since the front upper part of the door frame 3 can be decorated as a whole, the pair of upper speakers 573 become inconspicuous in the upper part of the door frame 3, and the decoration clearly different from the conventional pachinko machine is given. The pachinko machine 1 can be recognized by the player at a glance, and the player can enjoy a high-quality stereo sound by the pair of upper speakers 573. it can.

  As described above, the door frame 3 of the present embodiment includes the effect operation unit 400 attached to the dish unit 320 and the top middle decorative member 576 of the door frame top unit 570 on the lower side and the upper side of the through-hole 111. , Because it protrudes forward in the center in the left and right direction, it can show the player a unified decoration up and down so that the virtual line passing through the center in the left and right direction is conspicuous, and by the decoration of sophisticated feeling The pachinko machine 1 can be made more conspicuous than other pachinko machines and has a high appealing power.

  Further, the door frame 3 projects the top middle decorative member 576 and the effect operation unit 400 of the door frame top unit 570 disposed vertically at the center in the left-right direction, and thus the top middle decorative member 576. When the lighting operation unit 400 is decorated with light emission, the player can show a light emission line that extends vertically at the center in the left-right direction on the front surface of the door frame 3, and the player's line of sight is arranged in the center in the left-right direction.

  When the movable piece member front 825 passes the shaft member 824 through the shaft hole 825b, the weight attaching portion 825e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 825d is rotated by its own weight so as to be positioned immediately below the shaft hole 825b. The movable piece 825a extends obliquely downward from the shaft hole 825b. Therefore, in the assembled state of the ball guiding unit 820, the connecting portion 825d is inserted into the notch portion 821g of the front case 821, the lower end of the movable piece 825a protrudes into the guiding passage 821c, and the stopper piece 825g It will be in the state contact | abutted to the outer wall of the guidance path 821c (detection part 821e). When the stopper piece 825g abuts against the outer wall of the guide passage 821c, the lower end of the movable piece 825a is restricted from rotating further in the direction protruding into the guide passage 821c (left direction in front view). Further, when the movable piece member front 825 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 825a in a direction approaching the wall of the guide passage 821c (right direction in front view), the left side surface of the movable piece 825a becomes the guide passage 821c. It matches the inner surface. In this state, the detection piece 825f in front of the movable piece member 825 is in a non-detection state with respect to the ball breakage detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 821c, the ball break detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  The movable piece member rear 826 includes a flat plate-like movable piece 826a extending vertically, a shaft hole 826b penetrating forward and rearward at the upper end of the right surface of the movable piece 826a, and a movable piece 826a. The extension portion 826c extending rightward from the upper end of the movable piece 826a at right angles to the right surface of the movable piece 826a, and the extension portion 826c and the movable piece 826a are connected to each other and extend in a fan shape around the shaft hole 826b. A connecting portion 826d, a weight attaching portion 826e having a through hole that protrudes outward from the vicinity of the center of the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d and the upper portion of the extending portion 826c, and a through hole extending in the front-rear direction, The detection piece 826f that extends outward from the right end to the outside and can be detected by the ball breakage detection sensor 827, and extends from the position near the movable piece 826a on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d to the outside in the form of a flat plate. Is provided with a stopper piece 826g, the.

  When the movable piece member rear 826 passes the shaft member 824 through the shaft hole 826b, the weight attaching portion 826e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d is rotated by its own weight so as to be positioned immediately below the shaft hole 826b. Then, the movable piece 826a extends obliquely downward from the portion of the shaft hole 826b. Therefore, in the assembled state of the ball guiding unit 820, the connecting portion 826d is inserted into the notch 822g of the rear case 822, and the lower end of the movable piece 826a protrudes into the guiding passage 822c, and the stopper piece 826g It will be in the state contact | abutted to the outer wall of the guidance path 822c (detection part 822e). When the stopper piece 826g abuts against the outer wall of the guide passage 822c, the lower end of the movable piece 826a is restricted from further rotating in the direction protruding into the guide passage 822c (left direction in front view). Further, when the movable piece member rear 826 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 826a in a direction approaching the wall of the guide passage 822c (right direction in front view), the left side surface of the movable piece 826a is moved to the guide passage 822c. It matches the inner surface. In this state, the detection piece 826f after the movable piece member 826 is in a non-detection state with respect to the ball breakage detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 822c, the ball break detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  The ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment is supplied with a plurality of game balls arranged in a line in the front and rear directions by the tank rail 803, and the front case 821 and the rear case in a state where the plurality of game balls are arranged in a line. By 822, it is possible to guide to the lower dispensing device 830 in two rows before and after (see FIG. 113). At this time, since the front case 821 and the rear case 822 are partitioned by the partition plate 823, the game balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c and 822c do not interfere with each other and flow well. Can do.

  Further, when the game ball flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c of the ball guide unit 820, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a are moved. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 rotate in a direction coinciding with the wall surfaces of the guide passages 821c and 822c. Thereby, the detection pieces 825f and 826f before the movable piece member 825 and the detection piece 825f and 826f after the movable piece member 826 are in a non-detection state with respect to the ball break detection sensor 827, and it can be seen that there is a game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c.

  When the game ball is paid out by the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guidance unit 820, the game balls in the guide passages 821c and 822c flow downstream. When a game ball flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c, the momentum of the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d is increased, and the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d is movable pieces above the detection portions 821e and 822e. It bounces back to the side of 825a, 826a and comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Since the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate due to the abutment of the game ball, the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the notches 821g and 822g of the guide passages 821c and 822c. It is possible to remove dust, dust, etc., and the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be rotated favorably by their own weight or the like.

  In addition, the ball guiding unit 820 detects the game balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c and 822c by the separate movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, respectively, and the movable piece member front 825 and Since each of the detection pieces 825f and 826f after the movable piece member 826 is detected by one ball breakage detection sensor 827, when there is no game ball in any of the guide passages 821c and 822c, The movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member 825 or the movable piece member 826 are rotated so as to protrude into the guide passages 821c and 822c. The Therefore, since it is possible to detect a shortage of the game ball at an early stage, it is possible to quickly replenish the game ball and shorten the time when the game is interrupted as much as possible, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  Further, the weight of the movable piece member front 825, the movable piece member rear 826, and the weight is obtained by screwing and attaching a metal screw as a weight to the weight attaching portions 825e, 826e of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826. Thus, the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily rotated in the direction of protruding into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passages 821c and 822c, and the lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c and 822c, the dust in the guide passages 821c and 822c. And dust do not adhere to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate to the wall side of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust, dust, or the like does not bite between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the movable pieces 825a and 826a do not rotate.

  As described above, the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment has the movable piece front 825 and the movable pieces 825a and 826a behind the movable piece member 826 projecting into the guide passages 821c and 822c through which the game balls flow due to their own weight. By attaching weights made of metal screws to weight attachment portions 825e, 826e on the opposite side of the surface that comes into contact with the game ball, the movable piece member 825 and the movable piece member rear part 826 are moved according to their own weight and weight weight. The lower end side of 825a, 826a can be easily rotated (projected) into the guide passages 821c, 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably attached to the outside of the guide passages 821c and 822c, and the lower end side protrudes into the guide passages 821c and 822c, the dust in the guide passages 821c and 822c. And dust do not adhere to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate to the wall side of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust, dust, or the like does not bite between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall. The movable pieces 825a and 826a (the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826) can be prevented from rotating.

  Further, since the metal screw as the weight is screwed into and attached to the weight attaching portions 825e and 826e formed as the through holes, the weight is not affected even if the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 are rotated frequently. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 (the weight attaching portions 825e and 826e) are not detached from each other, and the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 can be maintained in a good state for a long time. . Moreover, since the weight can be easily attached to the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e, the labor for attaching the weight can be simplified. The cost associated with the assembly of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Further, in the guide passages 821c and 822c, introduction portions 821d and 822d for guiding the game ball toward the movable pieces 825a and 826a are provided on the upstream side of the portion where the movable pieces 825a and 826a protrude inside. Since the game balls flow in the guide passages 821c and 822c, the game balls come into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be vibrated by the contact of the game balls. Therefore, the vibrations of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can remove dust or dirt that is sandwiched or invaded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c. The front piece 825 and the rear piece 826 of the movable piece can be favorably rotated.

  Therefore, since the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 can be rotated well, the state (presence / absence) of the game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be detected reliably, and the game ball It is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems due to erroneous detection or the like. In addition, even if the game balls supplied to the payout device 830 disappear from the guide passages 821c and 822c, the presence or absence of the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected via the movable pieces 825a and 826a. The game ball can be replenished to the player, and the time at which the game is interrupted can be shortened as much as possible, thereby suppressing a decrease in the interest of the player.

  The discharge vane 839 extends in a cylindrical shape in the front and rear direction, and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a from the front end of the base cylinder portion 839a at a constant interval from the front end of the base cylinder portion 839a. The plurality of (three) front blades 839b and the front blades 839b from the rear end of the base tube portion 839a are alternately projected in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the base tube portion 839a at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. 3) Rear blade 839c and a connected portion that protrudes forward from the front end of the base cylindrical portion 839a in a cylindrical shape and that has concavities and convexities that can be connected to the connecting portion 837c of the driven gear 837 on the peripheral surface of the front end. 839d.

  Three front blades 839b and three rear blades 839c of the discharge blade 839 are provided at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. It is offset outward at an angle of 60 degrees in the direction and extends outward. The payout blade 839 of the present embodiment is connected by a circular arc that is recessed toward the center between the three front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), and the diameter of the circular arc is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. Thereby, between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), a ball housing portion 839e capable of housing only one game ball is formed.

  Further, the three front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c are formed such that the outer diameter D1 of the base cylinder portion 839a is 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. Further, the diameter D2 around the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a up to the portion closest to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a in the arc portion (sphere housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blade 839c). Is formed about 0.3 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. That is, the depth [(diameter D1−diameter D2) / 2] from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c to the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e is 0.1-0. It is supposed to be 4 times.

  Therefore, it is possible to hold about 3/10 (between 1/4 and 1/3) of the outer periphery of the game ball by the arc portion (the ball housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (the rear blades 839c). it can. In other words, a depth of about 1/5 (1/7 to 1/4) of the outer diameter of the game ball can be accommodated. Thereby, the game balls in the payout passages 831d and 832d can be quickly accommodated between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) (the ball housing portion 839e).

  With the dispensing blade 839 of the present embodiment, the front blade 839b is located in the dispensing passage 831d of the front box 831 and the rear blade 839c is located in the dispensing passage 832d of the rear box 832 in a state where the dispensing device 830 is assembled. The game balls in the payout paths 831d and 832d can be paid out, respectively. In addition, the payout blade 839 is disposed in a portion bent in a crank shape below the center of the total height of the front box 831 and the rear box 832 in the payout passages 831d and 832d. Specifically, in the payout passages 831d and 832d, the center of rotation of the payout vane 839 is located immediately below a portion extending vertically downward from near the center of the total height of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. In the portion of the discharge passages 831d and 832d that are bent in a crank shape, the wall (inner wall) on the side far from the discharge blade 839 is centered on the rotation center of the discharge blade 839, and from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c. It is formed in an arc shape separated by a distance S smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. In the present embodiment, the distance S is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the game ball. In other words, the distance from the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e to the arc-shaped portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game ball. .

  As a result, when the game ball flowing down on the payout vane 839 comes into contact with the outer peripheries of the front vane 839b and the rear vane 839c, the payout device 830 passes through the bent portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d in a crank shape. Cannot be discharged downward from the payout outlets 831b and 832b. On the other hand, when the game ball is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e, the game ball moves along with the rotation of the payout blade 839, and can pass through the portion bent in the crank shape of the payout passages 831d and 832d, from the payout outlets 831b and 832b. Released downwards.

  In the payout device 830, the diameter D1 of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c is about 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball, and the ball housing portion 839e has a diameter 1 of the game ball. Since the depth of / 7 to ¼ is accommodated, the time required to accommodate the game ball can be shortened while reducing the outer diameter of the payout vane 839 as much as possible. Thereby, even if the payout blade 839 is rotated rapidly, the game ball can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e and sent to the payout outlets 831b and 832b. Accordingly, the number of game balls to be paid out per unit time can be increased as compared with the conventional case, and the time required for paying out game balls can be shortened.

  The ball-removable movable piece 843 extends in a plate shape in the vertical and front / rear direction, and a lower portion is bent to form a body shape in a front view, and extends in a cylindrical shape in the front / rear direction at the upper end of the main body portion 843a. A shaft tube portion 843b whose both ends are rotatably attached to the front box 831 and the rear box 832 respectively, a projecting portion 843c projecting from the upper portion of the outer side surface of the main body portion 843a, and a main body portion 843a. A weight attaching portion 843d (see FIG. 105) including a through-hole penetrating in the front-rear direction in a lower portion bent in a square shape.

  In the state where the dispensing device 830 is assembled, the ball removal movable piece 843 is oriented so that the lower portion of the main body portion 843a extends obliquely to the lower left when viewed from the front, and the upper cylindrical tube portion 843b is disposed to eject the front box 831 and the rear box 832. In the passages 831d and 832d, it is possible to turn at a position that extends obliquely from the pay-out entrances 831a and 832a to the lower right in the front view, and slightly outside the wall on the right in the front view that is slightly above the part that bends downward. Installed on.

  In the normal state, the payout device 830 of the present embodiment is configured such that the ball removal lever 844 is slid downward, and the lower portion of the ball removal lever 844 contacts the protrusion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843 from the right side in front view. Touching. As a result, the ball removal movable piece 843 is restricted from turning counterclockwise when viewed from the front (see FIG. 105A).

  In this normal state, in the main body portion 843a bent in the shape of a square of the ball extraction movable piece 843, the upper side extends vertically from the bent portion, and the lower side of the bent portion is diagonally lower left in front view. It extends to. And the lower end of the main-body part 843a is located in the vicinity of the site | part which the payout channel | paths 831d and 832d and the ball extraction channel | paths 831e and 832e branch. Therefore, the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are closed by the ball removal movable piece 843 (main body portion 843a), and the surface facing the left side of the main body portion 843a forms a part of the wall of the discharge passages 831d and 832d. doing.

  The ball removal movable piece 843 of the present embodiment is formed such that, in a normal state, the center of gravity of the ball removal movable piece 843 is located on the left side of the vertical line passing through the center of the shaft tube portion 843b. Although a force to rotate counterclockwise as viewed from the front acts on the anti-clockwise rotation by the ball removal lever 844, the normal state is maintained.

  When the ball removal lever 844 is slid upward from the normal state, the lower portion of the ball removal lever 844 moves away from the protruding portion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843, and the ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front. Movement restrictions are lifted. Accordingly, the ball-moving movable piece 843 is rotated counterclockwise by its own weight so that the center of gravity is located directly below the shaft tube portion 843b. The ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise until the lower right side surface of the main body portion 843a contacts the left surface of the member forming the right side surface of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. (See FIG. 105 (b)). Accordingly, the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are opened, and the game ball that has entered from the payout entrances 831a and 832a comes into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843 in the middle of the payout passages 831d and 832d. The ball removal movable piece 843 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front to open the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, and flows through the opened ball removal passages 831e and 832e and is released downward from the ball removal outlets 831c and 832c. The Rukoto.

  In the present embodiment, since the ball removal movable piece 843 includes the weight attachment portion 843d, the ball attachment lever 844d is slid upward by screwing and attaching a weight made of a metal screw to the weight attachment portion 843d. Thus, when the restriction of the counterclockwise rotation in front view is released, the lower end of the ball removal movable piece 843 protrudes into the ball removal passages 831e and 832e due to the weight of the ball removal movable piece 843 and the weight of the weight. It is possible to facilitate rotation in a direction (counterclockwise in a front view).

  Further, in a normal state where the ball removal lever 844 is slid downward to close the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, a game ball that has entered from the payout inlets 831a and 832a enters the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843. Since the contact is made, the ball removal movable piece 843 can be vibrated by the contact of the game ball. Accordingly, dust or dirt sandwiched or invaded between the lower end of the ball removal movable piece 843 and the inner surfaces of the ball removal passages 831e and 832e can be removed by the vibration of the ball removal movable piece 843. It is possible to prevent the ball removal movable piece 843 from becoming unable to rotate by biting or dust.

  Further, since a metal screw as a weight can be screwed into and attached to the weight attaching portion 843d that is a through hole, the weight is removed from the ball-moving movable piece 843 even if the ball-moving movable piece 843 rotates frequently. The ball removal movable piece 843 can be maintained in a good state over a long period of time without being disengaged from the (weight attaching portion 843d). Further, since the weight can be easily attached to the ball removing movable piece 843 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attaching portion 843d, the labor for attaching the weight can be simplified, and the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled. The cost which concerns on can be reduced.

  By the way, if the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are closed for a long time by the ball removal movable piece 843, fine dust adheres to the rotation shaft of the ball removal movable piece 843 or the rotation shaft rusts, and the ball The extraction movable piece 843 may become difficult to rotate. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the game balls that have entered from the payout entrances 831a and 832a are brought into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843. Therefore, the ball removal passage 831e is formed by the ball removal movable piece 843. , 832e from the closed state, when the ball release lever 844 for releasing the closure is slid upward to release the lock, the game ball comes into contact with the ball release movable piece 843, so that the impact of the contact The ball removal movable piece 843 can be rotated, and the ball removal passages 831e and 832e can be reliably opened.

  Therefore, when the ball removal lever 844 is operated to open the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, the ball removal movable piece 843 can be rotated satisfactorily, so that the game ball can be removed with certainty. The workability during maintenance and the like can be improved.

And a closing spring 864 biasing in a direction to close the front end opening.

  Further, the lower full ball path unit 860 guides the game ball released from the upper ball exit 850h of the upper full ball path unit 850 forward, and moves on the board unit base 910 of the board unit 900 from the center right end in the front-rear direction. And a lower ball extraction guide path 865 for discharging to the bottom.

  In the lower full ball path unit 860, a normal guide path 861, a full tank guide path 862, and a lower ball guide path 865 are arranged in order from the left side to the right side in a front view. The normal guiding path 861, the full tank guiding path 862, and the lower ball guiding path 865 have rear ends that open upward. The normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 have a width in which a plurality of game balls are arranged on the left and right sides, and extend forward to the vicinity of the front end of the main body frame 4 so that the front end side is lowered. Further, the full tank guide path 862 extends forward at a position lower than the normal guide path 861. As shown in the drawing, the normal guiding path 861, the full tank guiding path 862, and the lower ball guiding path 865 are formed by an upper case 866 and a lower case 867 that can be divided vertically.

  The guideway opening / closing door 863 is rotatably attached to a portion between the normal guideway 861 and the full guideway 862 at the front end of the lower case 867 and is rotated clockwise by a closing spring 864. It is energized. More specifically, a full tank guide path 862 that opens to the right of the front end opening of the normal guide path 861 in front view at the front end of the lower full sphere path unit 860 is one game for the normal guide path 861. It is placed at a position lower by the height of the sphere. The guideway opening / closing door 863 is attached to the lower side of the normal guideway 861 and to the left side of the full tank guideway 862 so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in the front-rear direction.

  The guideway opening / closing door 863 includes a disk-like base portion 863a that is rotatably mounted, a first door plate portion 863b that extends obliquely from the base portion 863a to the upper left side and that can close the front end opening of the normal guideway 861. A second door plate portion 863c extending rightward from the base portion 863a and closing the front end opening of the full guide path 862, and an extending portion 863d extending from the base portion 863a obliquely to the lower left side in a flat plate shape. And an operating protrusion 863e that protrudes forward from the front surface of the distal end of the extending portion 863d and that can contact the door opening / closing contact portion 281 of the foul cover unit 270 in the door frame 3.

  Here, closing the front end openings of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 means that it is not necessary to seal the openings, and it is sufficient that the game ball cannot pass. The operating protrusion 863e is formed in a short arc shape with the base 863a as the center when viewed from the front, and the front end surface is inclined so as to protrude forward as it approaches the end in the counterclockwise direction. doing.

  The guideway opening / closing door 863 is urged clockwise by a closing spring 864, and the second door plate portion 863 c is located from below the front end opening of the full tank guideway 862 at the front end of the lower case 867. By contacting the boss portion 867a protruding forward, the clockwise rotation is restricted.

  In the lower full tank path unit 860 of the present embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 is assembled, and the front end of the lower full tank path unit 860 is a through ball passage 273, a full tank receiving port 274, and a door opening / closing door in the foul cover unit 270 of the door frame 3. It is attached at a position facing the contact portion 281 (see FIG. 112). Since the guide path opening / closing door 863 is not in contact with the operating protrusion 863e when the door frame 3 is open with respect to the main body frame 4, the guide path opening / closing door 863 is biased by the closing spring 864. Thus, the second door plate portion 863c is stopped in a state where the second door plate portion 863c is in contact with the boss portion 867a of the lower case 867. In this state, the first door plate portion 863b and the second door plate portion 863c are positioned in front of the front end openings of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862, and close the front end openings (FIG. 111). (See (a)). Accordingly, in this state, the game balls in the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 cannot move forward from the front end opening, and even if the door frame 3 is opened, the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding are not performed. Game balls will not spill from the road 862.

  When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the door opening / closing contact portion 281 of the foul cover unit 270 in the door frame 3 comes into contact with the front end surface of the operation protrusion 863 e of the guide path opening / closing door 863, and the operation is performed. Due to the inclination of the front end surface of the protrusion 863e, a force acts to rotate the guide path opening / closing door 863 in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front against the urging force of the closing spring 864. As a result, the first door plate portion 863b and the second door plate portion 863c, which have closed the front end openings of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862, rotate in a direction away from the front end opening, and the normal guide path 861 In addition, the front end opening of the full tank guide path 862 is opened (see FIG. 111B). In this state, as shown in the figure, the first door plate portion 863b is positioned below the front end opening of the normal guide passage 861, and the second door plate portion 863c is positioned above the front end opening of the full tank guide passage 862. .

  In the state where the front end openings of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 are opened, the door frame 3 is completely closed with respect to the main body frame 4, and the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 are filled. The through-ball passage 273 and the full tank receiving port 274 of the foul cover unit 270 in the door frame 3 are located on the front side of the front end opening of the guide path 862, and the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862 are penetrated from the side. A game ball can be delivered to the ball passage 273 and the full tank receiving port 274 side.

  In this way, the front end openings of the normal guideway 861 and the full tank guideway 862 are made different in the vertical direction, and the front end openings of the normal guideway 861 and the full tank guideway 862 are made by turning the guideway opening / closing door 863. Since opening and closing is performed, the operation range of the guideway opening / closing door 863 can be made as narrow as possible, and the opening / closing mechanism of the normal guideway 861 and the full-way guideway 862 can be downsized. Therefore, the space for other members can be relatively widened, and the internal space of the pachinko machine 1 can be used more effectively.

  The payout unit 800 of the present embodiment has more game balls from the payout device 830 in a state where the upper plate 321 of the door frame 3 is filled with game balls and the game balls cannot be released to the upper plate 321.

A sphere may enter the left side passage 2421 or the right side passage 2422 through a rarely communicating portion. That is, the game ball that has passed through the gate part 2003 does not necessarily pass through the front of the second start door 2411.

  When the game ball that has flowed down the right side of the center object 2500 does not enter the gate passage 2420, it enters either the left side passage 2421 or the right side passage 2422 disposed on the left and right sides of the gate passage 2420, It is discharged to the attacker passage 2423 through the left side passage 2421 or the right side passage 2422.

  A game ball released from any one of the gate passage 2420, the left side passage 2421, and the right side passage 2422 to the attacker passage 2423 is guided to the left along the inclination of the attacker passage 2423, and downward from the left end of the attacker passage 2423. Is released. At this time, if the second grand prize opening door 2413 closing the second big prize opening 2006 is retreated and the second big prize opening 2006 is opened, the game balls released into the attacker passage 2423 are It is accepted with high probability in the second big prize opening 2006. The game ball received in the second big prize opening 2006 is detected by the second big prize opening sensor 2402 and then sent to the internal passage 2430, and the first receiving port 2431 or the second receiving port 2432 by the sorting piece 2433. It is distributed to either.

  The game ball received in the first receiving port 2431 or the second receiving port 2432 is detected by the first receiving port sensor 2434 or the second receiving port sensor 2435 and is moved downward (substrate holder) 1200)).

  In addition, since the width of the second big prize opening 2006 is about 1.5 times the outer diameter of the game ball, the second big prize opening door 2413 is retracted and the second big prize opening 2006 is Even if it is open, depending on the speed, behavior, etc. of the game balls flowing through the attacker passage 2423, the game balls may jump over the second big prize opening 2006 and may not be accepted into the second big prize opening 2006. .

  The game balls released from the attacker passage 2423 flow down onto the attacker shelf 2424, are guided to the attacker shelf 2424, and are released downward from the left end of the attacker shelf 2424. At this time, if the first grand prize opening door 2412 is retracted and the first big prize opening 2005 is opened, the game balls released from the attacker passage 2423 are accepted into the first big prize opening 2005. . Therefore, when the game ball is driven into the game area 5a so as to circulate on the right side of the center bonus 2500 while the first game winning opening 2005 is open, the game ball is placed at the first game winning opening 2005 with a high probability. Can be accepted.

  The game balls received in the first big prize opening 2005 are detected by the first big prize opening sensor 4005 and then discharged downward (on the board holder 1200) on the rear side of the gaming panel 1100.

  There is a possibility that a game ball released downward from the attacker shelf 2424 may be received by one general winning opening 2001 arranged below. The game ball received in the general winning opening 2001 of the attacker unit 2400 is guided to the rear side of the panel board 1110 and then transferred to the right delivery port 3136 of the back front decoration unit 3100 in the back unit 3000. On the other hand, the game balls that have not been accepted into the general winning opening 2001 pass through the out opening 1126 at the lower end of the gaming area 5a and are discharged downward (on the board holder 1200) on the rear side of the gaming panel 1100.

When the rotation base drive gear 3614 is rotated by driving the back surface rotation drive motor 3612 of the movable side unit 3610, the back surface rotation base unit 3570 is attached to the first hole 3571a (attachment) via the rotation base driven gear 3572. It rotates around an axis extending back and forth about the axis of the cylindrical portion 3571d). The back upper rotation base unit 3570 has a horizontal position in which the longitudinal direction (the direction in which the first hole 3571a, the second hole 3571b, and the third hole 3571c are arranged) extends horizontally, and the vertical that extends vertically. You can rotate 90 degrees between positions. In the horizontal position, the second hole 3571b is located to the right of the first hole 3571a, and in the vertical position, the second hole 3571b is located below the first hole 3571a. At this horizontal position, the back rotation base unit rotation detection sensor 3590 detects the rotation detection piece 3611d of the movable unit 3610 in the back lifting unit 3600.

  When the back upper rotation base unit 3570 rotates between the horizontal position and the vertical position around the first hole 3571a, the second third link gear 3577 and the third third link gear 3582 are moved to the movable side unit 3610. It moves so as to revolve around the central link gear 3611b. At this time, since the second third link gear 3577 and the third third link gear 3582 mesh with the central link gear 3611b, the second third link gear 3511b revolves around the central link gear 3611b. The gear 3577 and the third third link gear 3582 each rotate, and each rotate relative to the back upper rotation base 3571.

In this state, the detection piece 3652c of the up-and-down rotating body 3652 is detected by the up-and-down detection sensor 3655. In this state, the lift drive pin 3652b is in contact with the right end in the lift slit 3611c extending to the left and right of the movable base 3611 in the movable unit 3610.

  Accordingly, the weight on the movable unit 3610 side acts on the lifting drive pin 3652b, so that the lifting drive pin 3652b does not rotate even when the lifting rotary body 3652 tries to rotate in the clockwise direction through the lifting drive pin 3652b. Since it is in contact with the right end of the elevating slit 3611c, the elevating rotating body 3652 can no longer rotate in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the movable unit 3610 is prevented from moving downward. ing. That is, the movable unit 3610 is locked at the raised position. Accordingly, the weight (load) from the movable unit 3610 side does not act on the back up / down drive motor 3654 via the lift gear portion 3652a and the lift drive gear 3653 of the lift rotating body 3652, and the back A load is not applied to the up / down drive motor 3654.

  When the up / down rotary body 3652 is rotated counterclockwise by the back up / down drive motor 3654 from this raised position, the up / down drive pin 3652b of the up / down rotary body 3652 moves to the left. The revolving drive pin 3652b slides to the left in the elevating slit 3611c, and the movable side unit 3610 receives the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 3657 through the elevating slit 3611c. It will move down. When the elevating drive pin 3652b that revolves when the elevating rotary body 3652 rotates counterclockwise revolves downward beyond the same height as the rotation center of the elevating rotary body 3652, the horizontal direction of the elevating drive pin 3652b The direction of the movement changes and moves downward while moving to the right, and slides to the right in the lifting slit 3611c.

  When the elevating drive pin 3652b is located immediately below the center of the elevating rotary body 3652, the rotation of the elevating rotary body 3652 stops, and at the same time, the downward movement of the movable side unit 3610 is stopped, and the movable side unit 3610 is stopped. Is in the lowered position (see FIG. 158 (b)). In addition, when moving the movable unit 3610 from the lowered position to the raised position, the back lifting drive motor 3654 is driven in the opposite direction to rotate the lifting rotary body 3652 in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. Thus, it can be returned to the raised position. At this time, the upward movement of the movable unit 3610 is assisted by the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 3657, and the load applied to the rear elevating drive motor 3654 is reduced.

  As described above, the back lifting unit 3600 has the back top first decorative body unit 3510, the back top second decorative body unit 3530, the back top third decorative body unit 3550, and the back top rotation via the movable side unit 3610.

The voltage divided by the value is converted from an analog value to a digital value, and converted to a value in 1024 steps from a value 0 to a value 1023. In the present embodiment, the values of 1024 levels are divided into seven and managed as substrate volumes 0-6. The substrate volume 0 is set to mute, the substrate volume 6 is set to the maximum volume, and the volume is set to increase from the substrate volume 0 toward the substrate volume 6. The liquid crystal display control unit 1512 (a sound source built-in VDP 1512a, which will be described later) is controlled so that the volume is set to the substrate volume 0 to 6, and music and sound effects flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

The volume can be adjusted by controlling a liquid crystal display control unit 1512 (a sound source built-in VDP 1512a described later) by a program. The volume adjusted by this program can be smoothly changed from the mute to the maximum volume, unlike the substrate volume divided into the above seven stages.
Thus, for example, even when a hall clerk or the like rotates the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a to set the volume to a low level, production sounds such as music and sound effects that flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 However, when a malfunction occurs in the pachinko machine 1 or when the player is cheating, a notification sound set to a high volume (in this embodiment, the maximum volume) can be played. Therefore, even if the volume of the production sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the hall clerk or the like from becoming difficult to notice the occurrence of a malfunction or the player's cheating due to the notification sound. Also, based on the current board volume set by volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob part, the volume of the advertisement sound is reduced so as not to interfere with the music and sound effects. In addition to music and sound effects, there is a possibility that the screen unfolded on the game board side effect display device 1600 will be rendered more powerful, or a game state that is advantageous to the player may be entered. You can also announce that it is expensive.

This is the data to generate above.

  The sound source built-in VDP 1512a outputs drawing data for one screen (for one frame) from the channel CH1 to the game board side effect display device 1600, and also displays image data for the door frame side effect display device 460 from the channel CH2. Output to the door frame side effect display device 460 via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, and the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3. (Transmission) outputs a V blank signal to the peripheral control MPU 1511a indicating that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU 1511a can be accepted. In this embodiment, since the frame frequency (number of screen updates per second) of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps per second, a V blank signal is output. The interval is about 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). The peripheral control MPU 1511a is configured to execute a peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process to be described later when this V blank signal is input. Here, the interval at which the V blank signal is output varies somewhat depending on the liquid crystal sizes of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. In addition, even in the manufacturing lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the sound source built-in VDP 1512a are mounted, the interval at which the V blank signal is output may slightly change.

  The sound source built-in VDP 1512a employs a frame buffer method. In this “frame buffer method”, drawing data for one screen (one frame) to be drawn on the screens of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is held in a frame buffer (built-in VRAM). The drawing data for one screen (one frame) held in the frame buffer (built-in VRAM) is output to the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460.

  When the sound command data described above is input from the peripheral control MPU 1511a based on a command from the main control board 1310, the built-in sound source VDP 1512a, as shown in FIG. 187, stores music stored in the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b. By extracting sound data such as sound and sound effects and controlling the built-in sound source, sound data such as music and sound effects are incorporated into the track according to the track number specified in the sound command data and used according to the output channel number An output channel is set, and music, sound effects and the like flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 are serialized and output as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512c.

Note that the sound command data also includes a sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the track in which the sound data is incorporated, and a plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a include effect sounds such as music and sound effects. In addition to the sub-volume value for adjusting the sound data and the volume of the sound, the sound data of the notification sound and the sound volume for notifying the clerk of the hall of the occurrence of the malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 and the fraud to the pachinko machine 1 Subvolume value to be included. Specifically, for the production sound, the substrate volume adjusted by rotating the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a described above is set as the sub volume value, and for the notification sound, the volume adjustment is performed. The maximum volume is set as the sub-volume value without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob portion of the volume 1510a.
The sub-volume value of the effect sound can be adjusted by shifting to a setting mode (to be described later) by operating the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400.

  The sound designation data also includes a master volume value for adjusting the volume of the output channel, and a plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a include a plurality of sound channels in the built-in sound source of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. Of the tracks, the sound data of the production sound built into the track to be used is combined with the sub-volume value that adjusts the volume of the production sound built into the track to be used. Actually, it is amplified to a master volume value which is a volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, and the amplified effect sound is serialized and output to the audio data transmission IC 1512c as audio data.

  In the present embodiment, the master volume value is set to a constant value, and the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 is amplified to the master volume value when the volume of the combined effect sound is the maximum volume. Is set to the maximum allowable volume. Specifically, for the production sound, among the multiple tracks, the sound data of the production sound incorporated in the track to be used and the sub-volume value that adjusts the volume of the production sound incorporated in the track to be used The set volume adjustment volume 1510a is rotated to adjust the substrate volume, and the synthesized volume of the effect sound is actually set to the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. The amplified production sound is serialized and output to the audio data transmission IC 1512c as audio data. For the notification sound, the sound data of the notification sound incorporated in the track to be used and the use Volume adjustment buttons set as sub-volume values to adjust the volume of the notification sound built into the track to be played The volume of the combined notification sound is actually the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 by combining the maximum volume without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob portion of the knob 1510a. It amplifies to the master volume value, serializes the amplified notification sound, and outputs it to the audio data transmission IC 1512c as audio data.

  Here, when the production sound is flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the control for playing the notification sound in order to notify the clerk or the like of the hall of the occurrence of the malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or the illegal act on the pachinko machine 1 is briefly described. To explain, first, the sub volume value of the track in which the production sound is incorporated is forcibly set to mute, the sound data of the track in which this production sound is incorporated, the sub volume value set for the mute, and the notification sound Is synthesized with the sub-volume value in which the volume of the notification sound is set to the maximum volume, and the volume of the combined effect sound and the volume of the notification sound is actually combined with the speaker 921. And the master volume value that is the volume flowing from the upper speaker 573, and the amplified production sound and notification sound are serialized to obtain audio data. And it outputs the audio data transmitted IC1512c as data.

  That is, as for the sound that actually flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, only the notification sound of the maximum volume flows. At this time, since the effect sound is muted, the effect sound proceeds in accordance with the sound generation schedule data described above, although it does not flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. In the present embodiment, the notification sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds). The volume of the effect sound that is proceeding according to the schedule data is set again as the sub-volume value by adjusting the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a to be rotated (at this time, the dial operation of the effect operation unit 400 is performed). If the adjustment is made by moving to the setting mode by operating the unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405, the adjusted volume is set to the sub-volume value of the adjusted production sound) and flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. It has become.

  In this way, when the production sound is flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, when the notification sound flows in order to inform the hall clerk or the like of the occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or an illegal act against the pachinko machine 1, Although the sound volume is muted and the notification sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the effect sound that has been muted proceeds in accordance with the sound generation schedule data. When it stops flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the production sound does not start to flow again from the point where the notification sound starts to flow, but progresses according to the sound generation schedule data until a predetermined period has passed since the notification sound started to flow. It starts to flow again from.

[7-4-2b. Liquid crystal and sound control ROM]
As shown in FIG. 187, the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b is used to draw the game board side character data for drawing in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the display area of the door frame side effect display device 460. The upper plate side character data is stored in advance, and various sound data such as music, sound effects, notification sounds, and notification sounds are also stored in advance.

[7-4-2c. Audio data transmission IC]
When the audio data transmission IC 1512c receives the serialized audio data from the sound source built-in VDP 1512a, the audio data transmission IC 1512c converts the right audio data as a positive signal and a negative signal as differential serial data and outputs a peripheral control output circuit and frame peripheral relay (not shown). A peripheral control output circuit (not shown) is transmitted to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 via the terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and as differential serial data with the left audio data as a positive signal and a negative signal. Then, the frame is transmitted to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882. Thereby, music, sound effects, etc. adapted to various effects are reproduced in stereo from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  The audio data transmission IC 1512c outputs audio data as serial data of the left and right differential methods between the boards extending from the peripheral control board 1510 to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194, for example, a positive signal of the left audio data, Even when the negative signal is affected by noise, the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 combines the noise component riding on the plus signal and the noise component riding on the minus signal into one left audio data. Since noise components are canceled by canceling each other, noise countermeasures can be taken.

[7-4-2d. Transmitter IC for door frame side production]
As shown in FIG. 187, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d receives drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. As described above, the channel CH2 uses a parallel interface. The drawing data is composed of three video signals, a red video signal, a green video signal, and a blue video signal, and three synchronization signals, a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and a clock signal. Each of the green video signal and the blue video signal is composed of 8 bits and a total of 24 bits. In the present embodiment, the red video signal, the green video signal, and the blue video signal that can be input to the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d are 6 bits each, for a total of 18 bits, and therefore the upper 6 bits in each video signal are the door frame. It is input to the side effect transmitter IC 1512d. Since the lower 2 bits are extremely weak color information that is difficult for human eyes to discriminate, the lower 2 bits including the weak color information are invalidated although they are output from the sound source built-in VDP 1512a.

  Three video signals such as a red video signal, a green video signal, and a blue video signal, and three synchronization signals such as a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and a clock signal, which are drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. Are input to the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d receives three video signals, a red video signal, a green video signal, and a blue video signal, a horizontal synchronization signal, and a vertical synchronization signal. The signal and the three synchronization signals, the clock signal, are serialized into a differential serial signal (serial data) called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of THINE ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. These various signals are transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 around the frame. Terminal plate 868, near the door relay terminal plate 882, and transmitted to effect display driving board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3.

  As described above, the drawing data output from the channel CH1 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a is output from the peripheral control board 1510 to the game board side effect display device 1600, and therefore the path from the channel CH1 to the game board side effect display device 1600. Although the length of the wiring required for the (first path) is short, the drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a includes the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, and the door from the peripheral control board 1510. Since it is output (transmitted) to the door frame side effect display device 460 via the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the frame 3, the route from the channel CH 2 to the door frame side effect display device 460 (first) The length of the wiring required for the second path) is extremely longer than the length of the wiring required for the first path. The effect of the noise is extremely susceptible.

Specifically, since the door frame 3 is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. 1, it is opposite to the locking unit 700 shown in FIG. 5 along the open side of the main body frame 4. On the closed side which is the side, for example, on the side of the main body frame 4 such as the effect display drive board 4450 accommodated in the dish unit 320 provided in the door frame 3 from the peripheral control board 1510 provided in the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 It is necessary to pass various wirings for electrically connecting the various substrates provided and the various substrates provided on the door frame 3 side. However, on the closed side of the main body frame 4, in addition to the payout device 830, the game balls paid out by the payout device 830 can be guided to the upper plate 321 of the plate unit 320, and the upper plate 321 is a game ball. A full tank branching unit 770 that can branch and guide the paid-out game ball to the lower plate 322 side when the tank is full is arranged.
Also, below the main body frame 4, a payout unit 800 shown in FIG. 5 is arranged in which the power supply board 931 and the like shown in FIG. As described above, various wirings for electrically connecting the various substrates provided on the main body frame 4 side and the various substrates provided on the door frame 3 side are drawn near the dispensing device 830, the full tank branching unit 770, the power supply substrate 931, and the like. In addition to the noise caused by driving the payout motor 834 provided in the payout device 830, the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island equipment where the pachinko machine 1 is installed and noise caused by electrostatic discharge due to the game ball It is in an environment where it receives noise etc.

  For this reason, for the channel CH2 in which the length of the wiring for sending drawing data is extremely longer than that of the channel CH1, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 provides “ By adopting a differential communication called “V-by-One (registered trademark)”, the mechanism is less susceptible to noise. In this embodiment, a door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided in the peripheral control board 1510, a door frame side effect receiver IC SDIC0 described later provided in the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3, As described above, the differential 1-pair cable is used as the wiring for electrically connecting the transmitter and the receiver, and this differential 1-pair cable is composed of two wires. Is not a parallel line provided in parallel, but a twisted pair cable. This twisted pair cable is a cable in which two wires are twisted together, and is also called a twisted pair wire.

  Here, the case where a parallel line is adopted as a differential one-pair cable for electrically connecting a transmitter and a receiver will be briefly described. For the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a in which the length of the wiring for sending the drawing data is extremely longer than the channel CH1 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 Even if it is a mechanism that is difficult to be affected by noise by adopting a differential communication called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of Co., Ltd., it is only due to electrostatic discharge of a game ball with such a hardware configuration. When serial data on parallel lines is affected by noise, noise entering the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island facility where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc., an effect display stored in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3 For door frame side effects on drive board 4450 Since the noise is not canceled (removed) when it is received by the shiver ICSDIC0, the serial data is received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 in an affected state, and is output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP1512a. The drawing data to be received is received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 as being disturbed different from the normal one. In the display area of the door frame side effect display device 460, a so-called sand storm-like image is displayed. There is a problem that it cannot be recognized at all.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the door frame side provided on the peripheral control board 1510 with respect to the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a in which the length of the wiring for sending drawing data is extremely longer than the channel CH1 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. In the transmitter IC1512d for production, the differential communication called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of Zain Electronics Co., Ltd. is adopted to make it difficult to be affected by noise, and in addition to such hardware configuration Even if differential serial data is affected by noise that enters the wiring, a twisted pair cable that can cancel (remove) the noise on the receiving side is electrically connected between the transmitter and the receiver. It was adopted as a differential 1 pair cable. As a result, even if serial data is affected in the twisted pair cable due to noise caused by electrostatic discharge of the game ball, noise entering the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island facility where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc., the door frame Since the noise is canceled (removed) when receiving by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the third dish unit 320, the channel of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a The drawing data output from CH2 is reliably received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive substrate 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3 and output to the door frame side effect display device 460. By doing so, in the door frame side effect display device 460, the liquid crystal display control unit 151 Image source built VDP1512a has generated a can be reliably displayed. By canceling (removing) the noise, it is possible to prevent the door frame side effect display device 460 from displaying an image that makes it impossible to recognize what the image is like a sandstorm. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's willingness to play. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's willingness to play due to the influence of noise.

  In this embodiment, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and the door frame side effect receiver IC SDIC0 described later provided in the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3 are provided. The frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 are interposed between the connections between the transmitter and the receiver, that is, between the transmitter and the receiver. This is because the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 are not configured integrally, but a structure in which the door frame 3 is attached to the main body frame 4 after being assembled separately is adopted. After the operation of attaching the door frame 3 to the door 4, electrically connect various wirings such as harnesses and twist cables from various boards provided on the door frame 3 side to the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 provided on the main body frame 4 side. Thus, various substrates provided on the main body frame 4 side and various substrates provided on the door frame 3 side can be electrically connected. With such a configuration, after the door frame 3 is opened from the main body frame 4 and various wirings are removed, the main body frame 4 and the door frame 3 can be maintained by removing the door frame 3 from the main body frame 4. If the problem that occurred in the door frame 3 cannot be resolved, another door frame 3 ′ is attached to the main body frame 4 instead of the defective door frame 3, and the door frame 3 By electrically connecting various wirings from various substrates provided on the 'side to the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 provided on the main body frame 4 side, various substrates provided on the main body frame 4 side and various types provided on the door frame 3' side The substrate can be electrically connected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 employs differential communication called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of Zain Electronics Co., Ltd. In addition to this hardware configuration, even if differential serial data is affected by noise that enters the wiring, the receiver cancels (removes) the noise. The twisted-pair cable that can be used as a differential one-pair cable that electrically connects the transmitter and the receiver. Specifically, between the peripheral control board 1510 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, between the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and the effect display drive. The board 4450 and the board 4450 are each electrically connected by a twisted pair cable, while the power supply wiring and other lines for transmitting various signals are electrically connected by a harness. Thereby, in addition to the video transmission wiring pattern for transmitting the serial data by the differential method transmitted by the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d, the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, A power supply wiring pattern and various signal wiring patterns for transmitting various other signals are mixed. For this reason, the above-described video transmission wiring patterns are formed on the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 by being separated from the power supply wiring pattern and various signal wiring patterns by a predetermined dimension. Since the route from the transmitter to the receiver spans a plurality of relay terminal plates such as the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, the video transmission formed on the plurality of relay terminal plates is used. Between the input and output of the wiring pattern, there is a problem that a part of the signal for transmitting the serial data by the differential method transmitted by the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d is reflected and becomes noise, or the output level of the signal is lowered. Will occur. Therefore, in this embodiment, impedance matching is performed on the video transmission wiring patterns formed on the plurality of relay terminal boards.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, between the peripheral control board 1510 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, between the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882, and the peripheral door relay. Between the board of the terminal board 882 and the production display drive board 4450, each is electrically connected by a twisted pair cable, whereas in the wiring for transmitting power supply wiring and other various signals, each is electrically connected by a harness. Although one of the twisted pair cables is red and the other is gray, the wiring that supplies power is red and the other multiple wirings are gray. . Note that the power supply wiring may be yellow instead of red.

The liquid crystal module circuit 4450V that restores the signal to a parallel signal and outputs the parallel signal to the door frame side effect display device 460 is mainly configured.

  When receiving the drawing data from the sound source built-in VDP 1512a and determining that the received drawing data is abnormal data, the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 transmits a LOCKN signal to be described later to the peripheral door relay terminal board 882. Then, the data is output to the peripheral control board 1510 via the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868. The LOCKN signal is input to the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 via a peripheral control input circuit (not shown) of the peripheral control board 1510.

As shown in FIG. 185, the RTC control unit 4165 that holds calendar information for specifying the date and time and time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second is configured with the RTC 4165a as the center. The RTC 4165a has a built-in RAM 4165aa that holds calendar information and time information (hereinafter referred to as “RTC built-in RAM 4165aa”). The RTC 4165a is supplied with power from a battery 4165b (in this embodiment, a button battery is used) as a driving power source and a backup power source for the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa. That is, the RTC 4165a is not supplied with any power from the peripheral control board 1510 (pachinko machine 1), but is supplied with power from the battery 4165b independently of the peripheral control board 1510 (pachinko machine 1). Thereby, even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, the RTC 4165a can update and hold calendar information and time information by supplying power from the battery 4165b.

  The peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 acquires calendar information and time information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC 4165a, sets the information in the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511c, and stores the acquired calendar information and time information. An effect based on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 can be unfolded. Examples of such effects include a Christmas tree or reindeer screen on December 25 on the game board side effect display device 1600 and door frame side effect display device 460, or a New Year countdown on New Year's Eve. The screen to be executed may be unfolded on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. Calendar information and time information are set at the time of factory shipment.

  In addition to calendar information and time information, the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa stores and holds LED brightness setting information when the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is an LED type. Yes. The peripheral control MPU 1511a obtains luminance setting information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa and adjusts the luminance of the backlight by PWM control when the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is LED type. . The luminance setting information includes luminance adjustment information for adjusting the range of the luminance of the LED, which is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600, from 100% to 70% in increments of 5%, and the currently set game. The brightness of the LED which is the backlight of the board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is included.

  In addition to the calendar information, time information, and luminance setting information, the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa stores the calendar information, time information, and luminance setting information as date / time and hour / minute / second information that was first stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa. Input date information is also stored.

  When the backlights of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 are mounted with a cold cathode tube type, the peripheral control MPU 1511a performs the ON / OFF control of the backlight or only ON. It is supposed to be.

  Various information stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa, such as calendar information, time information, luminance setting information, and input date / time information, is set in the production line of the gaming machine manufacturer. In the production line, for example, in order to perform various tests such as a display test of the game board side effect display device 1600, the year when the input date information is input on the production line as the date and time when the game board side effect display device 1600 was first turned on. Set to the date and time of manufacture, which is the date and time.

  Thus, in addition to calendar information and time information, the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa has brightness setting information and input date / time information when the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is an LED type. In addition, it is possible to store and hold information that needs to be maintained independently of the model information of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, the probability of occurrence of a big hit gaming state with low probability or high probability).

  Also, the brightness setting information stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa may be too bright for the backlight brightness of the game board side effect display device 1600 set at the date of manufacture depending on the environment of the hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. It may be too dark. Therefore, by operating the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400, the mode can be shifted to the setting mode and the backlight luminance can be adjusted to a predetermined luminance. When the dial operation unit 401 or the press operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 is operated within a predetermined time after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, a screen for performing the setting mode is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. In addition, when the dial operation unit 401 or the press operation unit 405 of the production operation unit 400 is operated during the period when the game board side production display device 1600 is in the waiting state and the demonstration operation is performed, the setting mode is performed. Is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. By operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 according to the setting mode screen, the calendar information and time information can be reset, or the backlight brightness of the game board side effect display device 1600 can be set as desired. Or adjust the brightness. The adjusted desired luminance of the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is overwritten (updated) as the luminance of the LED stored in the luminance setting information.

  In the setting mode, the peripheral control MPU 1511a executes the above-described brightness correction program, so that when the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is an LED type, the game board side effect is provided. The luminance decrease due to the secular change of the display device 1600 is corrected. The peripheral control MPU 1511a obtains input date / time information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165, specifies the date / time when the game board side effect display device 1600 is first turned on, and specifies calendar information and time for specifying the year / month / day. Time information that specifies minutes and seconds is acquired, the current date and time are specified, and the brightness range of the LED, which is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600, is adjusted in increments of 5%. Brightness setting information including brightness adjustment information for performing and the brightness of the LED that is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 that is currently set. The acquired luminance setting information is corrected based on correction information stored in advance in the peripheral control ROM 1511b.

  For example, if the game board side effect display device 1600 is first turned on and the current date and time, and June has already passed since the game board side effect display device 1600 is first turned on, When the corresponding correction information (for example, 5%) is acquired from the peripheral control ROM 1511b and the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is turned on when the brightness of the LED included in the brightness setting information is 75%, the 75% The luminance of the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is adjusted based on the luminance adjustment information included in the luminance setting information so that the luminance is further increased by 5%, which is the correction information acquired with respect to. And when the game board side effect display device 1600 is first turned on, December has already passed. When the corresponding correction information (for example, 10%) is acquired from 1b and the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is turned on when the luminance of the LED included in the luminance setting information is 75%, The luminance of the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is adjusted based on the luminance adjustment information included in the luminance setting information so that the luminance is further increased by 10% which is the correction information acquired in this way. Light.

  The current date and time may be specified by acquiring calendar information for specifying the date and time and time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second directly from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165, or a peripheral described later. Current calendar information set in the calendar information storage unit and updated by the system of the peripheral control board 1510 in the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511c in the current time information acquisition process of step S1002 in the control unit power-on process And the current time information set in the time information storage unit and updated by the system of the peripheral control board 1510 may be acquired to identify the current date and time.

[7-4-4. Volume adjustment volume]
As described above, the volume adjustment volume 1510a can adjust the volume of music, sound effects, and the like flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 by rotating the knob portion. As described above, the volume adjustment volume 1510a is configured such that the resistance value can be changed by rotating the knob portion, and the electrically connected peripheral control A / D converter 1511ak is connected to the knob portion. The voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position is converted from an analog value to a digital value, and converted into a value in 1024 steps from 0 to 1023. In the present embodiment, as described above, the values of the 1024 steps are divided into seven and managed as the substrate volumes 0 to 6. The substrate volume 0 is set to mute, the substrate volume 6 is set to the maximum volume, and the volume is set to increase from the substrate volume 0 toward the substrate volume 6. The liquid crystal display control unit 1512 (sound source built-in VDP 1512a) is controlled so that the volume is set to the substrate volume 0 to 6, and music and sound effects flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  In this way, music and sound effects flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 by adjusting the volume based on the turning operation of the knob portion. In the present embodiment, as described above, in addition to music and sound effects, a notification sound for notifying a hall clerk or the like of the occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or an illegal act against the pachinko machine 1 or a game effect. (E.g., to produce a more powerful screen on the game board side effect display device 1600, or to announce that there is a high possibility of shifting to a game state advantageous to the player) Etc.) also flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, but the notification sound and notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob part. The volume up to the maximum volume can be adjusted by controlling the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 (sound source built-in VDP 1512a) by a program.

  The volume adjusted by this program can be smoothly changed from the mute to the maximum volume, unlike the substrate volume divided into the above seven stages. Thus, for example, even when a hall clerk or the like rotates the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a to set the volume to a low level, production sounds such as music and sound effects that flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 However, when a malfunction occurs in the pachinko machine 1 or when the player is cheating, a notification sound set to a high volume (in this embodiment, the maximum volume) can be played. Therefore, even if the volume of the production sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the hall clerk or the like from becoming difficult to notice the occurrence of a malfunction or the player's cheating due to the notification sound.

  Also, based on the current board volume set by volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob part, the volume of the advertisement sound is reduced so as not to interfere with the music and sound effects. In addition to music and sound effects, the screen displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is rendered more powerful, which is advantageous for the player. It is also possible to notify that there is a high possibility that the game state will be entered.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to adjusting the volume of music and sound effects by turning the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a, the dial operation unit 401 of the effect operation unit 400 and the like. By operating the pressing operation unit 405, it is possible to shift to the setting mode and adjust the volume of music and sound effects. When the dial operation unit 401 or the press operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 is operated within a predetermined time after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, a screen for performing the setting mode is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. In addition, when the dial operation unit 401 or the press operation unit 405 of the production operation unit 400 is operated during the period when the game board side production display device 1600 is in the waiting state and the demonstration operation is performed, the setting mode is performed. Is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. By operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 according to the setting mode screen, the volume of music and sound effects can be adjusted to a desired volume. Specifically, the peripheral control A / D converter 1511ak converts the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position of the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a from an analog value to a digital value. Thus, by adding or subtracting a predetermined value according to the operation of the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the production operation unit 400, the value of the substrate volume can be increased or decreased. Yes. This adjusted volume is set and updated as a sub-volume value for a track in which sound data of effect sound such as music or sound effect is incorporated among a plurality of tracks in the sound source of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a. However, it is not reflected in the adjustment of the volume of the notification sound or notification sound described above.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the volume of music or sound effects is adjusted by directly rotating the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a, and the dial operation unit 401 or the press operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400. There are two methods of adjusting the volume of music and sound effects by increasing or decreasing the value of the substrate volume by adding or subtracting a predetermined value in accordance with the above operation. Since the volume adjustment volume 1510a is mounted on the peripheral control board 1510, it is necessary to make the main body frame 4 always open from the outer frame 2. Then, the hall clerk can turn the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a. However, at the volume adjusted by the hall clerk, it may be difficult for the player to hear the music or sound effect, or may be loud for the player to feel the music or sound effect. Therefore, within a predetermined time after the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 of the production operation unit 400 are operated, or a demonstration is performed by the game board side production display device 1600 in a waiting state. When the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the production operation unit 400 is operated during the period being performed, a screen for performing the setting mode is displayed on the game board side production display device 1600, By operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 according to the setting mode screen, the volume of music and sound effects can be adjusted to a desired volume. Thus, the player can adjust the volume of the music and sound effects to a desired volume. Therefore, when the volume of the hall clerk feels low and it is difficult to hear the music and sound effects, the production operation unit 400 The dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 can be operated to increase the volume to a desired level. When the volume adjusted by the hall clerk feels loud and music or sound effects are felt, the production operation unit The dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of 400 can be operated to reduce the volume to a desired level.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the pachinko machine 1 is not playing a game, the state is continued for a predetermined time, and when the game board side effect display device 1600 is repeatedly demonstrationd (for example, 10 times). The volume adjusted by the player who was sitting on the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 and playing the game last time is canceled, and the volume is initialized. In the initialization of the volume, the volume adjusted by the hall clerk, that is, the volume adjusted by the hall clerk by directly rotating the knob portion of the volume adjustment volume 1510a. As a result, if it is difficult to hear the music or sound effect by adjusting the volume adjusted by the player who was sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1 last time and adjusting the volume, A player who plays a game can operate the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 of the production operation unit 400 to increase the volume to a desired level, and sits on the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 and plays a game last time. If the player feels loud and the music and sound effects are noisy, the player who sits on the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 and plays a game this time will have the dial operation unit 401 of the production operation unit 400 or the like. The pressing operation unit 405 can be operated to reduce the volume to a desired level.

[8. Game contents]
Next, game contents by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game balls stored in the upper plate 321 of the plate unit 320 are moved by the player rotating the handle 302 of the handle unit 300 disposed in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. The game board 5 is driven into the upper portion of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game with the game ball is started. The game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the strength of the game. The strength of the game ball can be adjusted according to the amount of rotation of the handle 302. The game ball can be driven more strongly as it is rotated in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls per minute, that is, A game ball can be shot at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

  In the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) with a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions are implanted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110). By abutting, the flow-down speed of the game ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movement can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill (not shown) that rotates when the game ball abuts is provided at an appropriate position.

  When the game ball that is thrown into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view of the outermost surface of the center accessory 2500 from the highest position, it abuts against a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) The area on the left side of the center actor 2500 will flow down. Then, when a game ball flowing down the left region of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2520 that is open to the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, the game ball is supplied from the warp outlet 2522 to the stage 2530.

  The game ball supplied to the stage 2530 rolls on the stage 2530, moves back and forth, and is released forward. When a game ball enters the chance entrance 2535 at the center of the stage 2530 and is released into the game area 5a from the chance exit 2536, the chance exit 2536 is located immediately above the first start opening 2002, so there is a high probability. The first start port 2002 is received. When a game ball is received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. .

  When the game ball rolling on the stage 2530 is released into the game area 5a from other than the center, it flows down toward the start port unit 2100. The game balls released from the stage 2530 of the center object 2500 into the game area 5a are opened in the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100, the general winning port 2001 of the side unit 2200 and the attacker unit 2400, and the attacker unit 2400. There is a possibility of being accepted into the first big prize opening 2005 or the like of the state.

  By the way, when the game ball that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2520, it is drawn toward the center in the left-right direction by the shelf 2301 of the side slope 2300, and the general winning port 2001 of the side unit 2200 There is a possibility that the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100 is received. When a game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. .

  On the other hand, when the game ball that is driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500 (so-called right hit), It is discharged from the right guide passage 2540 of the center accessory 2500 to the upper part of the attacker unit 2400. Immediately below the downstream end of the right guide passage 2540, a gate passage 2420 provided with a gate portion 2003 and a second starting port 2004 in the attacker unit 2400 is arranged, and a game ball enters the gate passage 2420 with a high probability. To do.

  When the right-handed game ball enters the gate passage 2420 and passes through the gate portion 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310. When the lottery normal lottery result is “normal hit”, the second The second start port 2411 that closes the start port 2004 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball can be received in the second start port 2004. When a game ball is received at the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. The

  In the present embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate unit 2003, a certain amount of time is set after the normal lottery is started until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0. 0). 01-60 seconds, also called normal variation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second start port 2004 is opened after the normal fluctuation time has elapsed. The shorter the normal variation time, the more the game balls for which “normal hit” is selected in the gate unit 2003 can be received at the second start port 2004.

  If a game ball passes through the gate part 2003 after the game ball passes through the gate part 2003 until the normal lottery result is suggested, the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of the suggestion of the result is put on hold until the suggestion of the result of the previous normal lottery ends. In addition, the number of holdings of the normal lottery result is up to 4 and the upper limit is discarded without holding even if the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when a game ball is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 has an advantageous game state (for example, “hit”, “ A lottery of a special lottery result that generates “medium hit”, “small hit”, “per probability change”, “per time reduction”, etc.) is performed. Then, the lottery result of the special lottery is indicated to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special variation time). Note that the special lottery results that are drawn by receiving game balls at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 include “losing”, “15R big hit A”, “15R big hit B”, and the like.

  When the special lottery result (the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result) drawn by accepting game balls to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 is a special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state After the elapse of the special variation time, the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are in a state in which a game ball can be received in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. When a game ball is received in the first big prize opening 2005 when the first big prize opening 2005 is in the open state, a predetermined number (for example, ten or thirteen pieces) from the payout device 830 by the main control board 1310 and the payout board. ) Game balls are paid out to the upper plate 321. On the other hand, when a game ball is received in the second big prize opening 2006 when the second big prize opening 2006 is in the open state, a predetermined number (for example, three) of games from the payout device 830 by the main control board 1310 and the payout board. The ball is paid out to the upper plate 321. Accordingly, when the first grand prize opening 2005 and the second grand prize opening 2006 are able to accept game balls, the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 accepts the game balls, thereby increasing the number of games. The ball can be paid out, and the player can be entertained.

  When the special lottery result is “big hit”, a big hit gaming state in which a predetermined round is generated a plurality of times occurs. The big hit gaming state of the present embodiment is the first big according to the opening / closing pattern (opening / closing pattern having one time opening / closing or opening / closing pattern having multiple times opening / closing) that opens and closes the game ball so as to be received during each round. The winning opening 2005 or the second large winning opening 2006 operates. As will be described in detail later, in this embodiment, for example, if “15R big hit”, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened and closed in the first to third rounds, and the first big prize opening 2005 is opened and closed in the fourth to fifteenth rounds. The “15R big hit gaming state” is generated.

  In the “big hit”, when the second big prize opening 2006 is open due to the big hit gaming state, the game balls received in the second big prize opening 2006 are distributed to the second receiving opening 2432 by the sorting piece 2433. After the jackpot game state ends, the probability that a special lottery result such as “big hit” will be drawn is changed (“probable hit”), or the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result is changed ( )).

  In the present embodiment, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 are received from the start of the special lottery until the special lottery result is suggested by the acceptance of the game balls. When a game ball is accepted at the second start opening 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started, and therefore the start of the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The The number of reserved special lottery results to be held is up to four for each of the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, and for more than that, the first start port 2002 and the second start port Even if a game ball is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is not put on hold and discarded. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  The special lottery result is suggested by the function display unit 1400 and the game board side effect display device 1600. The function display unit 1400 is directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest a special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result based on the combination of the LEDs that are lit, after a plurality of LEDs are repeatedly turned on / off and blinked for a predetermined time.

  On the other hand, in the game board side effect display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510 indirectly controls and the special lottery result is suggested as an effect image. The effect image suggesting the special lottery result on the game board side effect display device 1600 is displayed in a variable manner by changing each symbol sequence in a state where three symbol sequences composed of a plurality of symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. Each symbol row is stopped and displayed so that the symbols in the three symbol rows that are stopped and displayed are in a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than “losing”, after the three symbol sequences are stopped and each symbol is stopped and displayed, a final image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600, An advantageous gaming state (for example, a big hit gaming state A, a big hit gaming state B, etc.) corresponding to the lottery special lottery result occurs.

  It should be noted that the time indicating the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (fluctuation time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the game board side effect display device 1600 (the symbol string varies). The time until the fixed image is displayed is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time.

  Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the game board side effect display device 1600, the effect operation unit 400 in the door frame 3 according to the lottery special lottery result. Operation button 410, door frame side effect display device 460, back front decoration unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, back center movable effect unit 3200, back left movable effect unit 3300, back right movable effect unit 3400, back upper movable effect unit 3500 , And the under-bottom movable production unit 3700, etc. can be used as appropriate to produce a light emission production, a movable production, a display production, etc., and the player can be entertained by various productions. It can suppress that the interest with respect to a game falls.

[9. Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 1310 (particularly the main control MPU 1310a) will be described. FIG. 188 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 188 (a), the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment is first processed as a process in step S1 on the condition that an operation switch 954 having a function as a RAM clear switch is operated. Initialize data stored in various registers and RAM. The operation switch 954 is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and cannot be operated unless the main body frame 4 is opened. In addition, the operation switch 954 outputs a clear signal to the main control board 1310 according to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has passed since the power is turned on, and the main control MPU 1310a receives the clear signal when the power is turned on. If it is determined, initialization processing (step S1) is executed to initialize various registers and data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is shut down, information indicating the progress of the game (for example, various flags) is stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a. If the operation switch 954 is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). Then, a restoration process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the operation switch 954 is operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 to the initial state.

  Next, as a process in step S2, a random number that is a number to be updated within a predetermined numerical range is updated. That is, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped, and the special symbols. Reach by the variable random number used in the lottery process for the predetermined time (variation time) required for the variable display control of the display, the decorative symbol variable display executed by the effect display device 1600 in response to the special symbol variable display (Left decorative design and right decorative design are stopped in the same design and the middle decorative design is not yet stopped, or the left, middle and right decorative designs are all displayed in the same design. Reach random numbers used in lottery processing for determining whether or not to win, symbol random numbers used in lottery processing to determine the type of jackpot when it is determined that the jackpot is based on the special random number ( A random number counter for holding random numbers, such as a random number (one random number), a second random number), a random number (ordinary random number) that is used in a lottery process for winning when the second start door 2411 is activated, etc. Yes.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first start opening 2002 is won, the second start opening 2004 is won. Even in this case, the reach random number is acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number. The reach determination table to be compared with the acquired reach random number may correspond to the first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and is different from the first reach determination table. You may make it vary the execution ratio of reach production by providing the 2nd reach determination table in which a determination value is set.

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

  FIG. 188 (b) is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310.

  As shown in FIG. 188 (b), in this interrupt control, first, a register saving process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as the processing of step S12, the gate sensor 2401, the first start port sensor 3112, the second start port sensor 4004, the first big prize port sensor 4005, the second big prize port sensor 2402, the first Detection signals from various switches such as the reception port sensor 2434, the second reception port sensor 2435, and the general prize port sensor 3111 are input. Next, as a process in step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the above-mentioned random numbers, the random number counter is updated in such a manner that the random numbers (special random numbers, normal random numbers) related to the display mode at the time of stopping the variable display of the special symbols and the normal symbols are updated. Counter operation is performed.

  Then, after the random number is updated in this way, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 performs the special symbol process processing including the lottery processing concerning the display mode at the time of stopping the variable symbol variable display as the processing of step S14. Execute. This special symbol process will be described later, but here, basically, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, first flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a). The corresponding processing is selectively executed based on the two special symbol process flags).

  Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 executes a normal symbol process including a lottery process for winning a win as an operation trigger of the second start door 2411 as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process, basically, the corresponding process is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. Further, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is configured to execute the lottery process so that the driving frequency of the second start port door 2411 becomes higher during a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state. (So-called short-time state). In this embodiment, the winning probability of the normal symbol is increased only during a predetermined period after the end of the jackpot gaming state, the time required for the variable symbol variable display control is shortened, and the normal symbol lottery is selected. When the result is successful, such a short time state is realized by extending the opening time of the second start door 2411.

  When the special symbol process (step S14) and the normal symbol process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 then performs the special symbol process as step S16. Then, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a to the peripheral control board 1510 or the like is performed. Next, as a process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the RAM in the normal symbol process process to the peripheral control board 1510, for example, is performed.

  The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 then outputs information such as hit information (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) supplied to the hall management computer, for example, as the process of step S18. I do.

  Then, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 performs the process of step S19 as the first start port sensor 3112, the second start port sensor 4004, the first big prize port sensor 4005, and the second large size. When detection signals such as the prize opening sensor 2402 and the general prize opening sensor 3111 are on, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 951 so that a prize ball corresponding to the signals is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 952a mounted on the payout control board 951 outputs a drive signal from the payout motor drive circuit 952d to the payout motor 834, and pays out a prize ball to the player.

  Further, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 executes a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the start memory number as the process of step S20. Next, as a process of step S21, a test terminal process that is a process of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that operates constantly is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and the control is finished when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24). It becomes.

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

  FIG. 189 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. On condition that the detection signal is in the on state (the ball enters the first start port 2002) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is obtained from the random number counter and is obtained from the RAM number. A first start port passing process such as storing in one special symbol holding storage area is executed (step S32). Also, on condition that the detection signal from the second start port sensor 4004 is in an ON state (the ball enters the second start port 2004) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is set to the random number. A second start port passage process is performed such as obtaining from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol holding storage area of the RAM (step S34).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is controlled is set (step S35). If the big hit running flag is set, the big hit gaming state is controlled. The big hit control process (step S39) is executed. In the big hit control process, when the result of the lottery process regarding the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol) becomes a mode suggesting “15R big hit A”, The first grand prize winning port 2005 and the second big prize winning port 2006 are controlled to open and close according to the 15R big hit gaming state A, and the game balls received in the second big prize winning port 2006 are the first receiving port 2431 or the second receiving port 2432. The distribution piece 2433 to be distributed to any one of the above is controlled to execute a process of setting to a special state or a non-special state when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened. In addition, when the mode suggests “15R big hit B”, the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 are controlled to open and close in accordance with the 15R big hit gaming state B, and the second big winning opening 2006 is displayed. The distribution piece 2433 that distributes the received game ball to either the first receiving port 2431 or the second receiving port 2432 is driven and controlled, and when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened, either the special state or the non-special state is set. Execute the setting process.

  Here, the “special state” and the “non-special state” will be described. First, in the present embodiment, there are two states of “special state” and “non-special state” when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432. Here, the “special state” is a state in which it is allowed (validated) to be controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is completed by accepting a game ball at the second receiving port 2432. Therefore, when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “special state”, the high probability state is controlled after the end of the big hit game state. In addition, the “non-special state” is a state where even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, it is not permitted (invalidated) to be controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state. Therefore, even if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “non-special state”, it is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends. In the “non-special state”, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, it is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished, but the second receiving port 2432 in the big hit gaming state. In order to make it possible to execute an effect based on the fact that the game ball is received, the period for monitoring whether or not the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 is set. Further, in the present embodiment, the “invalid state” different from the “special state” and the “non-special state” is provided as a state in which the game ball is not received at the second receiving port 2432. Here, the “invalid state” is a state in which a game ball is not received in the second receiving port 2432 in principle, such as the 4th to 15th rounds when the first grand prize opening 2005 is opened. Even if a game ball is accepted in 2432, it is not allowed (invalidated) to be controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. Therefore, even if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “invalid state”, the high probability state is not controlled after the big hit game state is ended. In addition, the “invalid state” is to enable the hall management side to be notified of information regarding the occurrence of an abnormality when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 due to an abnormality such as an illegal act. In addition, it is set as a period for monitoring whether or not a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432.

  In the big hit control process (step S41), after the opening control of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 is performed, each set process of the high probability flag, the hourly flag, and the hourly number counter is executed. . The high probability flag is a flag indicating a high probability state. When a big hit game state based on big hit (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) is executed, if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 during a special state, a high probability state is reached after the big hit gaming state ends. Although a high probability flag is set because of controlling to (high probability short-time state), if a game ball is not received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state (the second receiving port 2432 during the non-special state). For example, when a game ball is accepted, the high probability flag is not set because the high probability state (high probability short time state) is not controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished. If the high probability flag is set, the first special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 126, which will be described later, when the next big hit or when the counter value of the hour / hour counter becomes “0” or The high probability flag is reset by a second special symbol stop process (not shown).

  The time-short flag is a flag indicating that the time-short state is in effect, and is used for big hits (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) which are controlled to a short time state (high probability short time state, low probability short time state) after the big hit gaming state ends. Set when exiting based jackpot gaming state. The time-short flag is the first special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 126, which will be described later, or the second special symbol stop (not shown) when the next big hit or the counter value of the time-count counter becomes “0”. Reset by processing.

  The short-time counter is a counter that indicates the remaining number of times that the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is displayed as the number of times the short-time state continues. The short-time state (high probability) When the big hit gaming state based on the big hit (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B) is controlled to the short time state, low probability short time state, the number of times of the short time state is set, and the short time number counter is Each time the special symbol variation display is executed until the counter value reaches “0”, the countdown is performed. However, when the next big hit occurs before the counter value becomes “0”, FIG. The first special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 5 or the second special symbol stop process (not shown) is reset (the counter value is returned to “0”).

  If the big hit execution flag is not set, the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is “0”. (Step S36), the first special symbol process including the lottery processing relating to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (Step S37), and the second special symbol is stored in the second special symbol storage area. On the condition that the value of the second special reserved number counter indicating the number of special random numbers is not “0” (step S36), the second special symbol including the lottery process relating to the display mode when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped. Process processing is executed (step S38). Thus, in this example, when the value of the second special reserved number counter is not “0”, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

  FIG. 190 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first start port passage process (step S32).

  If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3112 is in an ON state and a game ball has entered the first start port 2002, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first acquires the counter value by the first special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a as the process of step S41. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved special symbols is “4” which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S41, if it is determined that the number of the first special symbol hold is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol on hold. Processing of S42 to S44 will be performed. That is, first, as the processing of step S42, the first special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing of step S43, the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S44, each random number thus obtained is used as the first special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 1310a. To store.

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

  FIG. 191 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second start port passage process (step S34).

  If it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2593 is in an on state and a game ball has entered the second start port 2004, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first obtains the counter value by the second special reservation number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a as the process of step S51. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved second special symbols is the maximum value “4”.

  In the process of step S51, if it is determined that the second special symbol hold count is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol on hold. The processing of S52 to S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S52, the second special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing in step S53, the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S54, the second special symbol holding storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special holding number counter in the storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is used as the processing in step S54. To store.

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

  FIG. 192 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process (step S37). The first special symbol process executed in step S37 of the special symbol process and the second special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for the determination. Since only the table is different, only the first special symbol process executed in step S37 of the special symbol process will be described here. In the first special symbol process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed in accordance with the first special symbol process flag.

1. A first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is read, and a lottery process for a display mode at the time of stopping the variable control of the first special symbol is performed based on the read first special random number. Symbol normal processing (step S80)
2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) in which the determination process of the first special symbol variation control stop mode is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control stop )
3. A lottery process for the variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display unit 1403 based on the variable random number and the variation mode of the effect display executed on the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the special symbol. First variation pattern setting process (step S82)
4). First special symbol variation processing that waits until the first special symbol display on the first special symbol display 1403 is stopped (step S83).
5. The first special symbol display unit 1403 displays the first special symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variation control is stopped. First special symbol stop process for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal process (step S80) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 188).

  FIG. 193 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 193, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first executes step S101. As the process, it is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the first special symbol that is in the hold state, then in step S102, it is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a. The random number stored in the first storage area among the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the first design random number, the reach random number, and the variable random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol being read is read from the RAM. . Then, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special reserved number counter is counted down and the first special symbol reserved storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is stored in each storage area. A random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

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

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

  FIG. 194 is a flowchart showing a procedure for the jackpot determination process (step S105).

  If the current gaming state is a high probability state (high probability short time state, high probability non-short time state) (step S111), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has a high probability state shown in FIG. A jackpot determination table is selected (step S112), and if the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), the jackpot determination table at the low probability shown in FIG. 195A is selected (step S113) and selected. The big hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S114).

  The jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 195 (A) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 1310a, and when the gaming state is low probability (normal state (low probability non-short time state) and short time state (low probability short time state)). And a jackpot determination table at a high probability and used when the gaming state is a high probability (a high probability short time state). Then, in the jackpot determination table at the low probability, it is coincident with the jackpot determination value indicating that one type of first special random number is won, and the 299 types of first special random numbers are determined to be out of place. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the value (big hit probability at low probability: 1/300). In the second special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process, the low probability jackpot determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number. In the same manner as the jackpot determination table at the low probability referred to in order to match the jackpot determination value indicating that one type of second special random number has won the jackpot, 299 types of second special random numbers are out of the above. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the loss judgment value indicating that (a jackpot probability at a low probability: 1/300).

  Moreover, in the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability, 10 types of first special random numbers including the same first special random number as the first special random number set in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability coincide with the jackpot determination value, The first special random numbers are associated with each other so that 290 types of first special random numbers coincide with the loss determination value (high probability of big hit: 1/30). As described above, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability short time state), the big hit determination value indicating that the big hit is won is low probability (normal state (low probability non-time short state)) and short time state (low) It is increased to 10 times the probability short state)). In the second special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process, the high probability jackpot determination table referenced for comparison with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number. 10 kinds of second special random numbers including the second special random number that is the same as the second special random number set in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability, like the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability referred to The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating winning and match with the loss determination values indicating that the 290 kinds of second special random numbers are out of place (when the probability is high) Jackpot probability: 1/30).

  When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 compares the selected jackpot determination table with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process and determines that it is a jackpot (step S115). ), The big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is won by the big win is set and the process is terminated (step S116), and the first special read out in step S102 of the selected big hit determination table and the first special symbol normal process As a result of the comparison with the random number, if it is determined that it is out of place, the reach determination table (not shown) is compared with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S117). As a result of comparison between the reach determination table and the reach random number read out in step S102, if it is determined that the reach is shifted (step S118), a reach flag indicating that the change becomes reach is set. The process ends (step S119).

  FIG. 196 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 196, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the jackpot determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S121).

  If the big hit flag is set in step S121, the main control MPU 1310a compares the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 195 (B). (Step S122) The type of jackpot is determined, and the mode at the time of variable control stop of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined jackpot type (stop symbol of the first special symbol) is determined (Step S123). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S121, the first special symbol is determined to be the off symbol as a mode when the first special symbol is stopped (step S124).

  As shown in FIG. 195 (B), the symbol determination table stores symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) in association with each determination result (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B). ing. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 determines the type of jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the first symbol random number is set different from the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the second symbol random number. ing.

In particular,
1.15R The big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 are controlled to open and close according to the big hit gaming state A, and the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time in the first round. Opening difficult to enter (for example, 0.5 seconds) and opening for a long time (game ball can enter (easily) opening, for example, 20 seconds). If the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, the end of the big hit gaming state is set. While the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is changed to the display state 100 times later, the high probability time-short state is controlled, while the game ball is not received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state. In case, large 15R jackpot A which variation display of the special symbols after the end of the game state (first special symbol and the second special symbol) is controlled to a low probability time reduction until it is executed 100 times Ri
2. Opening and closing control of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 according to the 15R big hit gaming state B, and the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time in the first round (the game ball is Opening difficult to enter, for example, 0.5 seconds) to a special state (a state in which a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 and is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state) When the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is displayed 100 times after the big hit gaming state is finished. If the game ball is not received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol is used after the big hit gaming state is finished). )of Dynamic display is determined in any of the jackpot from the 15R jackpot B, 2 types of jackpot controlled to a low probability time reduction until it is executed 100 times.

  In this example, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. The symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol is set so that the judgment value distribution is different from that of the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, and the determination ratio of each jackpot is different. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 195 (B), in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, of the 15R big hit A and the 15R big hit B, the 15R big hit A (special state) is relatively advantageous to the player. There is a high probability that a game ball will be received in the second receiving port 2432, and 50 judgment value distributions are set for a big hit with a high probability of controlling to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished. On the other hand, 15R big hit B, which is relatively unfavorable to the player (a big hit with a low probability that a game ball will be received in the second receiving port 2432 during a special state and a low probability of controlling to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state) 50 determination values are assigned to each other. On the other hand, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, among the 15R big hit A and the 15R big hit B, the judgment value distribution is set only for the 15R big hit A which is relatively advantageous to the player. In this way, at the time of the big hit on the first special symbol side, either the 15R big hit A or the 15R big hit B, which is different in the player's advantage, is determined. Can be noticed. In addition, in the short time state controlled after the end of the big hit game state, a game on the second special symbol side (a game that allows a game ball to enter the second starting port 2004) is performed. At the time of big hit on the side, since it is always decided to be 15R big hit game A, it is possible to pay attention only to how much prize ball amount can be obtained at the time of consecutive resort. Therefore, since the game characteristics change between the first big hit and the consecutive time, the game does not become monotonous.

  Further, when the type of jackpot is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of jackpot is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when the 15R big hit A is determined, the 15R big hit A symbol is determined as the big hit symbol, and when the 15R big hit B is determined, the 15R big hit B symbol is determined as the big hit symbol. In the second special symbol stop symbol setting process (not shown), when 15R jackpot A is determined, 15R jackpot A symbol is determined as the jackpot symbol.

  Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, as the process of step S125, these lottery results (indicating either the type of jackpot, the reach out of the reach, or the off (the stop symbol form of the first special symbol) A determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that it may be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) as the process of step S126, this process is terminated. The peripheral control MPU 1511a starts the left / middle / right decoration symbol variation display based on the received determination result notification command and variation pattern command, and stops and displays the left decoration symbol → right decoration symbol → middle decoration symbol in this order. Thus, the display control of the effect display device 1600 is performed.

  Specifically, the peripheral control MPU 1511a sets 15R out of the big hits related to the first special symbol from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) when the decoration symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 is stopped. When the big hit A is specified, the 15R big hit A symbol (combination of the same decorative symbols) is determined. When the variation time specified from the pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the reach effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the effect display device 1600. As described above, when the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 is fluctuated and stopped at either the 15R big hit A symbol or the 15R big hit B symbol, it can be determined that the decorative symbol is a big hit from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol. However, since a common symbol is used as the 15R big hit A symbol and the 15R big hit B symbol, either the 15R big hit A or the 15R big hit B cannot be discriminated.

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU 1511a, as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of stopping the variation of the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600, when the reach error is specified from the received determination result notification command, the symbol with a reach is separated. (The combination of decorative designs that are not the same. However, the left and right decorative designs are the same.) If the outlier is specified, it is a detachable design that does not involve reach (a combination of decorative designs that are not the same. Are determined to be non-identical), and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command has elapsed (when the game effect ends), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

  FIG. 197 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 197, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 sets the big hit flag. If so (step S141), the type of jackpot determined in step S123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process and a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of jackpot according to the current gaming state are selected (step S141). If the reach flag is set (step S143), a reach variation pattern table (not shown) corresponding to the current gaming state is selected (step S144), and both the big hit flag and the reach flag are selected. If it is not set, that is, it will be a normal off-line (a non-reach effect is not executed) To selects the off time of the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) (step S145).

  Then, a variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S146), and the determined variation pattern is started. The variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set, and the variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1403 is started (step S147). Further, the main control MPU 1310a sets the variation time set corresponding to the variation pattern determined to determine the variation pattern in the variation timer (step S148). As a result, effect control is performed by the first special symbol display 1403 and the effect display device 1600 for the variation time thus determined.

  A plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided for each determination result based on special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). The variation patterns set in each variation pattern table include a plurality of variation time information indicating predetermined times (variation times) required for variation display control of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Each variable random number is stored in association with each other. Thus, the main control MPU 1310a selects the selected variation pattern table and the variation random number read out in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process among the plurality of types of variation pattern tables according to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number. And the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is obtained from this table, thereby determining the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Further, the variation pattern table at the time of reach in this example is set so as to determine the type of reach effect to be executed by comparing a determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with a variable random number. . For example, the super reach effect of the reach effect is higher in the big hit expectation level than the normal reach effect, and when the super reach effect is executed, the player's expectation level for the big hit game state is increased.

  When the first special symbol variation display control is started, the first special symbol process flag is set so that the process proceeds to the first special symbol variation process (step S83) as a process of step S149. At the time of updating, this process is terminated.

  In this example, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time of loss, the special symbol random time (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is associated with the special symbol random time information set to about 1 second when the time is short. When the time is short, the variation pattern of the special symbol is set such that the variation time information of the special symbol set to about 12 seconds is associated with the special symbol random number (first special symbol, second special symbol). In other words, the variation pattern at the time of loss selected at the time reduction is compared with the variation pattern at the time of non-time reduction so that the time required for the variation display control of the special symbol is extremely short. Symbol variation time information is set.

  FIG. 198 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

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

  FIG. 199 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 199, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first performs step S181. As the process, the display control for causing the first special symbol indicator 1403 to display the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is performed, and the first special symbol is displayed on the effect display device 1600. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S182).

  Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 determines whether or not the time-shortage counter is set to “0” while the time-shortage flag is set and the time-short state continuation count is set. (Step S183). If the counter value is not “0”, the time counter is counted down (step S184), and then it is further determined whether or not the counter value of the simultaneous short counter is “0” (step S185). . As a result, if the counter value is “0”, the time reduction flag is reset, and if the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset (step S186). If it is determined in the process of step S183 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is “0”, or if it is determined in the process of step S185 that the time reduction counter is not “0”. At that time, the process proceeds to step S187.

  When the big hit flag is set (step S187), a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is started is set (step S188), and the big hit gaming state is started (a big hit round start command is set). The waiting time (a period during which display indicating that the big hit gaming state is started) is set in the interval timer (step S189). Then, when the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset, when the time reduction flag is set, the time reduction flag is reset, and the counter value of the time reduction counter is further set. If it is not “0”, the counter value is reset (returned to “0”), and then a big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set (step S190), and the first special symbol process When the flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol normal process which is the initial value (step S191), this process is terminated.

  The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is prepared individually according to the type of jackpot (15R jackpot A, 15R jackpot B). In step S188, a jackpot start command (15R jackpot A start command, 15R jackpot B start command) corresponding to the type of jackpot is set. Thereby, the presentation according to the type of jackpot instructed by the jackpot start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like.

  FIG. 200 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot control process (step S39).

  In step S189, the waiting time until the big hit gaming state is started is set in the interval timer. However, in the processing of step S401, after the waiting time set in the interval timer has elapsed, FIG. As shown in the figure, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 controls opening and closing of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006, and also when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened, the special state (second receiving prize). When the game ball is received at the entrance 2432, the game state is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished) or in a non-special state (even if the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, Set to one of the states that will not be controlled to a high probability state after completion), and the second acceptance during the special state A prize winning opening / closing process (step S402) for monitoring whether or not a game ball has been received in 2432, and a distribution in which the game balls accepted in the second prize winning opening 2006 can be distributed to the second receiving opening 2432. The second receiving opening / closing process (step S403) for controlling the driving of the piece 2433 is executed in order.

  FIG. 201 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the special winning opening / closing process (step S402).

  If it is determined in the process of step S411 that the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 is in an open state, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 1310a performs a predetermined time (for example, from the open state of the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 according to the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006, which will be described later. When 20 seconds have been opened for a long time, 0.5 seconds have been opened for a short time) (step S412), or the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 in an open state. When the game ball has won the maximum number of wins (for example, 9) (step S413), the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize won in an open state. 2006 is controlled in a closed state (step S414). When it is determined that the current round is to be ended by controlling the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 to the closed state (step S415), it is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. When a jackpot round end command corresponding to the type of jackpot and the current number of rounds is set as a command (step S416), this processing is terminated.

  If it is determined in step S411 that the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 is in a closed state, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 1310a has a timing for opening the first big prize port 2005 or the second big prize port 2006 according to the operation schedule of the first big prize port 2005 and the second big prize port 2006, which will be described later. (Step S417), when it is determined to start a new round by controlling the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 (step S418), the peripheral control board The jackpot round start frame corresponding to the type of jackpot and the new number of rounds as a command sent to 1510 To set the de (step S419). When it is determined that it is time to set the special status flag or the non-special status flag, that is, when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened (step S420), a second receiving port described later. According to the state setting schedule of 2432, a special state flag or a non-special state flag is set (step S421). Note that it is not necessary to reset the special state flag when the special state flag is already set, and similarly, there is no need to reset the non-special state flag when the non-special state flag is already set. . Then, when the closed first closed winning opening 2005 or the second closed winning opening 2006 is controlled to be in an open state (step S422), this process is terminated. When it is determined that a new round will not be started (such as the second opening within the same round) by controlling the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 to the open state. (Step S419), or when it is determined that it is time to set the special state flag or the non-special state flag (when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened) (Step S420), the closed state When the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 is controlled to be in an open state (step S422), this process is terminated. Thus, the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like can execute an effect in accordance with the type of jackpot designated by the jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command and the current number of rounds.

  Note that the special state flag indicates a state set to a special state (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished). The non-special state flag is a state set to a non-special state (a state in which even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, the state is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished). It is a flag indicating that When the second big prize opening 2006 is opened, the game balls received by the second big prize opening 2006 in the second acceptance opening / closing process (step S403) described later are either the first reception opening 2431 or the second reception opening 2432. By controlling the distribution pieces 2433 to be distributed, the game balls can be received at the second receiving port 2432 and set to either a special state or a non-special state.

  If it is determined in step S417 that it is not time to open the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006, as shown in FIG. When the main control MPU 1310a of the board 1310 finishes all rounds by repeating the open state and the closed state of the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 (step S423), the big hit is being executed. The flag is reset (step S424). If it is determined that a second receiving port passage flag, which will be described later, is set (step S425), a high probability flag is set (step S426), the time reduction flag is set and the counter value of the time reduction counter is set. When the initial value (for example, 100 times) is set as the number of continuations in the short-time state (step S427), this process is terminated. If it is determined that the second reception pass flag is not set (step S425), the high-probability flag is not set, the time-short flag is set, and the time-saving state is set to the counter value of the time-count counter. When the initial value (for example, 100 times) is set as the number of times to continue (step S427), this process is terminated. As described above, when it is determined that the second acceptance passage flag is set (the game ball is accepted by the second acceptance port 2432 during the special state), the high probability flag and the short time flag are set. If it is determined that the second entrance passage flag is not set (the game ball is not accepted by the second entrance 2432 during the special state), the time reduction flag is controlled. Set only and control to short state at low probability.

  FIG. 202 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second receiving opening / closing process (step S403).

  If it is determined in the process of step S431 that the second receiving port 2432 is in an open state (a state in which game balls are distributed to the second receiving port 2432 by the sorting piece 2433), FIG. As shown, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 follows the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433, which will be described later. Seconds, 0.2 seconds when opening for a short time) (step S423), or by controlling the first big prize opening 2005 or the second big prize opening 2006 to the closed state. Is finished (step S433), the second receiving port 2432 in the open state is closed (the first receiving port by the sorting piece 2433). Game ball is controlled to a state) that is distributed to 431 side (step S434).

  If it is determined in step S431 that the second receiving port 2432 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. In accordance with the operation schedule of the segment 2433, when it is time to open the second receiving port 2432 (step S435), the closed second receiving port 2432 is controlled to open (step S436).

  Next, if it is determined in step S437 that a game ball has been received in the opened second receiving port 2432, as shown in FIG. 202, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 Whether the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state during the special state flag setting (step S438), or when the second special state flag is set during the non-special state while the non-special state flag is set. It is determined whether or not a game ball is received at the receiving port 2432 (step S442). If it is determined that the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state (step S438), it is determined that the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state. When the second receiving port passing flag shown is not set (step S439), the second receiving port passing flag is set (step S440), and the second receiving port passing command A is transmitted as a command to be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Is set (step S441), the process is terminated. Further, when it is determined that the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the non-special state (step S442), the second receiving port passing command B is set as a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. At this point (step S443), this process ends. As a result, an effect corresponding to whether the game ball is received by the second receiving port 2432 in the special state or the non-special state instructed by the second receiving port passing command A or the second receiving port passing command B Can be executed by the effect display device 1600, a lamp / LED, a speaker, and the like.

  FIG. 203 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol process (step S15).

  If it is determined in step S801 that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2401 is on and it is determined that a game ball has passed to the gate unit 2003, as shown in FIG. In step S802, the main control MPU 1310a of the control board 1310 first executes a gate section passing process such as acquiring a normal random number of a normal symbol from the random number counter and storing it in the normal symbol holding storage area of the RAM. To do.

  Next, in the normal symbol process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag.

1. Normal symbol normal process in which a normal random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is read out, and a lottery process is performed on the display mode when the variation control of the normal symbol is stopped based on the read normal random number (step S803).
2. Normal symbol variation time determination processing (step S804) in which a lottery process or the like is performed on the variation pattern (variation time) of the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display unit 1402 based on the ordinary symbol random number.
3. Normal symbol variation processing that waits until the normal symbol variation display on the ordinary symbol display unit 1402 is stopped (step S805).
4). The normal symbol variation display so that the normal symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the normal symbol variation control stop mode is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 1402. Normal symbol stop processing to stop the game (step S806)
5. When the result of the lottery process regarding the mode at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is a mode suggesting “per symbol”, the second start port door 2411 rotates to play the game to the second start port 2004. Ordinary electric accessory release process for executing a process for controlling the acceptance of the ball (step S807)

  The normal symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the normal symbol normal process (step S803) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 188).

  FIG. 204 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the gate section passage processing (step S802).

  Now, in the process of step S801, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2401 is in an on state and a game ball has passed to the gate unit 2003, as shown in FIG. In step S811, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first obtains the counter value by the normal hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the number of ordinary symbols held is “4” which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S811, when it is determined that the number of normal symbols held is not the maximum value, the following steps S812 to S814 are performed to newly put the normal symbol variable display control on hold. Processing will be performed. That is, first, as the processing of step S812, the normal holding number counter is incremented (added by 1). In step S813, the normal random number and the normal variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, in step S814, each random number obtained in this way is stored in the normal symbol holding storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal holding number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 1310a.

  However, when it is determined in the process of step S811 that the number of normal symbols held is the maximum value, the normal symbol variation display control is not newly held. That is, by not executing the processes of steps S812 to S814, the normal symbol variation display control is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 205 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol normal process (step S803).

  When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 205, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first performs the process of step S821 It is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the normal hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state, the normal symbol stored in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is then processed as step S822. The random number stored in the earliest storage area among the random numbers related to the symbol display mode (for example, ordinary random numbers, ordinary variable random numbers) is read from the RAM. Next, as the processing of steps S823 and S824, the normal reserved number counter is counted down, and when the variable symbols of the normal symbol stored in the storage areas of the normal reserved storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a are stopped. The random number (ordinary random number, ordinary variable random number) related to the display mode is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the normal symbol holding storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and the random numbers extracted according to the passage of the game ball to the gate unit 2003 are sequentially from the first (first) area. Remember. When random numbers are stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area and the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003, the extracted random numbers are stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. When the start condition of the variable display based on the random number stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Are moved to the (N-1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. Thereby, the order in which the suspension of the variable symbol display control of the normal symbol occurs can be stored in an identifiable manner, and the suspension of the variable symbol control can be released in order from the earliest suspension (the first occurrence). .

  Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, if the current gaming state is a short time state (low probability short time state, high probability short time state) (step S826), the short time normal figure hit judgment table (not shown) ) Is selected (step S826), and if the current gaming state is a non-time-short state (low probability non-time-short state) (step S825), a non-time-short normal figure hit determination table (not shown) is selected (step S825). In step S827, the selected normal symbol determination table is compared with the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal process (step S828).

  In addition, the normal figure hit determination table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 1310a, and the normal figure hit determination table used when the gaming state is short time (low probability short time state, high probability short time state), A non-time / short-time ordinary figure determination table used when the gaming state is non-time / short-time (low probability non-time / short-time state). Then, in the hourly common figure judgment table referred to for comparison with the ordinary random number, all the 251 kinds of ordinary random numbers coincide with the common figure judgment value indicating that the common figure is won. The ordinary random numbers are associated with each other so that they do not coincide with the usual deviation judgment value indicating that they are off. As described above, when the game ball passes to the gate portion 2003 in the time reduction, the player always wins by the usual figure, and the second start opening door 2411 rotates to reach the second start opening 2004. The game ball is controlled to be received.

  In addition, in the non-time-saving common figure determination table referred to for comparison with the ordinary random numbers, all the 251 types of ordinary random numbers may coincide with the common figure determination values indicating that each common figure is won. The normal random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the misplacement determination value indicating the misplacement. As described above, in the non-time saving state, even if a game ball passes to the gate portion 2003, the second start port door 2411 is rotated and the second start door 2411 is rotated because there is no win per the usual figure. There is no control that allows the game ball to be received at the start port 2004.

  When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 compares the selected universal symbol determination table with the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal process, and determines that the symbol is normal (step S829). ) After setting the flag for the normal symbol indicating that the variation is won for the normal symbol (step S830), the normal symbol per symbol as the mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped (the normal symbol is stopped) The symbol is determined (step S831). On the other hand, if the result of comparison between the selected regular symbol determination table and the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing is that it is determined to be out of place, the variation of the normal symbol A non-standard symbol as a mode at the time of control stop (ordinary symbol stop symbol) is determined (step S832). After that, when the above-described normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the normal symbol variation time determination process (step S804) (step S833), this process ends.

  In this example, in the control in the short time state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 251/251, the lottery result of the normal symbol is always a win, and the time required for the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol is extremely reduced. It is shortened to a short predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). When the lottery result of the normal symbol is a win, the second start port 2004 is controlled with an open / close pattern that is closed for an extremely long predetermined time (for example, 5.5 seconds). . In other words, during the time-short state control, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol is successful is very high, the time required for the variable symbol variable display control is constant and short, and the open state of the second start port 2004 is It is much easier to win a game ball to the second start port 2004 due to the long time of the game, and the game ball is more efficiently aimed at the second start port 2004 than the first start port 2002. You can win a prize. In the non-time-short state control, it is assumed that the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 0/251, and the lottery result of the normal symbol is not always hit, and the second start port 2004 is aimed. In addition, a game ball cannot be won in the second starting port 2004.

  As described above, during control in the non-time-saving state, even if the second start port 2004 is aimed, the second start port 2004 cannot win a game ball. In order for the game ball to win, the game ball must be fired (so-called “left-handed”) aiming at the left side of the center bonus 2500. Further, in the game area 5a on the left side of the center accessory 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game ball hits the obstacle nails. By touching, various movements are given to the game ball and flow down. For this reason, even if a game ball is shot on the left side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the first start opening 2002, it does not necessarily win the first start opening 2002, but wins the first start opening 2002. The game balls that have not existed are discharged to the outside through an out port 1126 provided at the lower center in the left-right direction of the game area 5a.

  On the other hand, during the time-short state control, it is possible to win a game ball more efficiently by aiming at the second start port 2004 than at the first start port 2002. In order to win, the game ball must be launched (so-called “right-handed”) aiming at the right side of the center actor 2500. Further, due to the structure of the game board 5, when the second starting port 2004 is opened, if a game ball is driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the second starting port 2004, it passes through the gate portion 2003. The game balls thus won are awarded to the second starting port 2004 with a very high probability. For this reason, during the control in the time-saving state, the game ball driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 is hardly wasted (discharged to the outside from the out port 1126 or the sub-out port 2007). Compared to the first start port 2002 during the state control, the game ball wins the second start port 2004 very efficiently.

  In addition, during the control of the short time state, in addition to the structure of the game board 5, when passing through the gate part 2003, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol is successful is very high, and the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is displayed. Due to the fact that the time required for control is constant and short and the time when the second start port 2004 is opened is long, it is easy for a game ball to win the second start port 2004, and further the game to the second start port 2004. When the ball is won, the time required for the display control of the special symbol is about 1 second, which is extremely shorter than the range of 10 to 120 seconds during the non-time-short state control. It is possible to digest the symbol variation display control (the suspension of the special symbol variation display control). That is, when the short hit state is controlled after the big hit gaming state, the game ball is hit on the right side of the center accessory 2500 with the aim of the second starting port 2004, so that the big hit again in a short time. It is possible to expect a large number of game balls to be acquired by controlling to the big hit game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls to be paid out by winning a game ball to the second start port 2004 is one, and therefore, the number of game balls to the second start port 2004 is Even if winnings occur frequently, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player.

[10. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 1511a mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 will be described. FIG. 206 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for control performed by the peripheral control MPU 1511a mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 206, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In the initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 1511a mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) ends, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 1511a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 ms elapses While the flag T is set, a 16 ms progress monitoring counter is reset (set to 0). As described above, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process for controlling the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like based on the command received from the main control board 1310 is executed. When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, if the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), the loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 207 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the peripheral control MPU 1511a executes the processes of step S601 to step S606. In the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board 1310 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S147 of the first fluctuation pattern setting process, the process corresponding to the first fluctuation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process process (second fluctuation pattern setting process)). Control processing related to the effect display device 1600 is executed based on the fact that the variation pattern command transmitted by being set is received.

  In the sound control process in step S603, a control process related to a speaker or the like is executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, a control process related to lamps / LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process in step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the lamp driving board 4017 is executed. In the random number update process in step S606, a process of updating random numbers (for example, pre-read random numbers) used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

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

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

[11. About the big hit gaming state of this embodiment]

  As shown in FIG. 209 (B), in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time as the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 in the first round ( 0.5 seconds). Also, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 in the first round, the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds). Is set to In addition, as a state setting schedule for the second receiving port 2432 in the first round, a special state (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and the state is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state) Is set to

  In addition, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 in the second round is set to open the second big prize opening 2006 for a long time (20 seconds). ing. Also, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 in the second round, when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds), the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds), and a predetermined time It is set to operate for a long time (10 seconds) after (4.8 seconds) has elapsed. In addition, as a state setting schedule of the second receiving port 2432 in the second round, a non-special state (even if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432, it is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished. Status).

  In addition, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, as the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 in the third round, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), and the round The second grand prize winning opening 2006 is set to be opened for a long time (20 seconds) after a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) has passed as the inner interval time. Also, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 in the third round, when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds), The distribution piece 2433 is set to operate for a long time (10 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds). In addition, as a state setting schedule for the second receiving port 2432 in the third round, a non-special state (even if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432, the high probability state is not controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished. Status).

  As shown in FIGS. 210 (A) and 210 (B), in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, as a whole of the first to third rounds, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the second big winning opening 2006 , The opening timing is all the same. In addition, in the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the second big winning opening 2006 in each of the first to third rounds are different. Does not notify the player. In this way, in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 2006 is made the same as the whole of the first to third rounds. Although the operation time and operation timing of the sorting piece 2433 are partially different, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the game state is the 15R big hit game state A or the 15R big hit game state B.

  In the present embodiment, both the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B are controlled in a special state in the first round (the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 to be controlled to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends. In the 15R big hit gaming state A, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened. It is extremely easy for a game ball to be received in the mouth 2006, and the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a long time (10 seconds) while the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds). It is extremely easy for the game balls received in the two big prize winning openings 2006 to be distributed (accepted) to the second receiving opening 2432. Thus, in the 15R big hit gaming state A, the probability that a game ball will be received in the second receiving port 2432 in the first round set in the special state is extremely high, so the high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state ends. The probability is also very high. On the other hand, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the second big prize opening 2006 is only opened for a short time (0.5 seconds) in the first round, so it is very difficult to accept the game ball at the second big prize opening 2006. Furthermore, since the sorting piece 2433 is only operated for a short time (0.2 seconds) during the period in which the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), it is accepted by the second big prize opening 2006. It is extremely difficult for the game balls to be distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432. Thus, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the probability that a game ball will be received in the second receiving port 2432 in the first round set in the special state is extremely low, so the high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state ends. The probability is also very low.

  Also, in this embodiment, both the 15R big hit game state A and the 15R big hit game state B are only opened for a short time (0.5 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for the first time, so the second big winning prize When the mouth 2006 is opened for the first time, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to be received in the second grand prize winning opening 2006, and the second big winning prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds). Since the piece 2433 is operated only for a short time (0.2 seconds), it is extremely difficult to distribute (accept) the game balls received in the second big prize opening 2006 to the second receiving opening 2432. . On the other hand, both the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B are opened for a long time (20 seconds) when the second big winning opening 2006 is opened for the second time. At the time of opening, it is extremely easy for a game ball to be received in the second grand prize opening 2006, and the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a long time during a period in which the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds) ( 10 seconds), it is extremely easy for the game balls received in the second grand prize winning opening 2006 to be distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432. However, in the 15R big hit gaming state A, the second opening of the second big prize opening 2006 corresponds to the first round, and the special state (the end of the big hit gaming state by the game ball being received in the second receiving port 2432) In the 15R jackpot gaming state B, the second opening of the second big prize opening 2006 corresponds to the second round, and a non-special state (a state that will be controlled to a high probability state later) Even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, it is set to a state in which the high probability state is not controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state. In addition, the player is notified of the number of rounds at the time of the second opening of the second grand prize winning opening 2006, and whether it is set to a special state or a non-special state. Absent. For this reason, even if the game balls received at the second grand prize opening 2006 are distributed (accepted) to the second acceptance opening 2432 when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for the second time, It is difficult for the player to determine whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after completion.

  In the present embodiment, the operation of the sorting piece 2433 is started when the opening of the second big prize opening 2006 is started, but the distribution is made before the second big prize opening 2006 is closed. The operation of the piece 2433 is terminated. In addition, when the opening of the second big prize opening 2006 is started, a special state (a state in which a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 and a high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished) or not A special state (a state in which even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished), the second big prize opening 2006 is closed. The set special state or non-special state is continued until the next round is started later. For this reason, the game ball distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432 by the operation of the sorting piece 2433 is closed after the second big prize opening 2006 is closed (the operation of the sorting piece 2433 is finished). Even when the second receiving port sensor 2433 is reached later), it is possible to determine whether the game ball has been received by the second receiving port 2432 during the special state or the non-special state. In the 1st to 3rd rounds in 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B, it is set to either a special state or a non-special state. In the fourth to fifteenth rounds, the game balls are not received (sorted) in the second receiving port 2432 as a general rule, and are set to an invalid state different from the special state and the non-special state.

  Further, in this embodiment, in each round (1st to 3rd rounds) in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, even before the opening time of the second big winning opening 2006 elapses. When the maximum number of winning balls (for example, 9) is won in the open second big prize opening 2006, the open second big prize opening 2006 is controlled to be closed. When the second big prize opening 2006 is closed before the opening time of the second big prize opening 2006 elapses, the sorting piece 2433 is deactivated if the sorting piece 2433 is in operation. I am doing so. However, a special state (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and a high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished) or a non-special state (a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432). For the setting of the high probability state after the jackpot gaming state is finished, the second big prize opening 2006 is closed before the opening time of the second big prize opening 2006 elapses. Even in the case of the state, either the set special state or the non-special state is continued until the next round is started.

  In this embodiment, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433, the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds), and after a predetermined time (4.8 seconds) has elapsed, the sorting piece 2433 is long. It has a single action schedule set to release time (10 seconds), and each round (1st to 3rd rounds) in 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B is started In addition, the operation schedule of such a sorting piece 2433 is started. Thus, by making the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 a single operation schedule, the amount of data related to the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 is prevented from increasing as much as possible.

  In the first embodiment, when the second grand prize winning opening 2006 is opened twice in each round in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the first time of the second big winning prize opening 2006 Between the opening time and the second opening time, 4.5 seconds is set as the intra-round interval. On the other hand, when the opening of the second big prize opening 2006 in the round is finished, the round is finished, and after the opening of the second big prize opening 2006 is finished, the next round is started. As an interval time between rounds, 4.5 seconds is set. Thus, by setting the intra-round interval time and the inter-round interval time to the same time (4.5 seconds), the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B It is possible to approximate a series of opening patterns (motion patterns) of the second big winning opening 2006 at 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B.

  As shown in FIG. 209 (A) and FIG. 209 (B), in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize winning in each round of the 4th to 15th rounds. The operation schedule of the mouth 2006 is set to open the first grand prize winning opening 2005 for a long time (30 seconds). In this way, in both the 15R big hit game state A and the 15R big hit game state B, in the fourth to fifteenth rounds, the game balls are placed in the second receiving port 2432 when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened as in the first to third rounds. A game is performed whether or not a game ball is accepted when the first big prize opening 2005 is opened. The opening time of the first big prize opening 2005 in each of the fourth to fifteenth rounds is longer than the opening time of the second big winning prize opening 2006 in each of the first to third rounds. The amount of prize balls that can be obtained by opening the first big prize opening 2005 in the 15th round is larger than the quantity of prize balls that can be obtained by opening the second big prize opening 2006 in the first to third rounds. Therefore, unlike the games in the first to third rounds, the player can play the games in the fourth to fifteenth rounds with peace of mind.

  Next, a specific effect example when the 15R jackpot game state A and the 15R jackpot game state B are executed in the effect display device 1600 will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, at least in the first to third rounds in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the production display device 1600 executes a common production.

  First, the effect display apparatus 1600 starts the left / middle / right decorative symbol variation display based on the determination result notification command and variation pattern command received by the peripheral control board 1510, and the left ornament symbol → right ornament symbol → middle Display control is performed so as to stop display in the order of decorative symbols, but as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of stoppage of decorative symbol variation, 15R big hit A out of big hits related to the first special symbol from the received determination result notification command Is determined as 15R big hit A symbol (combination of the same decorative symbols), and when 15R big hit B is specified, it is decided as 15R big hit B symbol (common with 15R big hit A symbol) The display of the determined stop symbol on the effect display device 1600 is controlled at the elapse of the fluctuation time specified from the time (at the end of the reach effect). There. As described above, when the 15R big hit A and the 15R big hit B are both determined, by controlling the display of the common stop symbol as the stop symbol of the decorative symbol on the effect display device 1600, 15R from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol. Either big hit A or 15R big hit B cannot be determined.

  Next, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the jackpot start command (15R jackpot A start command, 15R jackpot B start command), the first round jackpot round start command (one round A start command, one round B start command) 15R, the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot game until the waiting time until the jackpot gaming state set in the interval timer is started in the process of step S190 is received. The explanation effect which explains the game method in the 1-3rd round of state B is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 211 (A), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “If V passes while the V attacker is open, it may change!”. As a result, if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 while the second grand prize winning opening 2006 is open, there is a chance that a chance to be controlled to a high probability state occurs after the end of the big hit gaming state. Can understand.

  Next, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the first round jackpot start command (1 round A start command, 1 round B start command), the third round jackpot end command (3 round A end command, 3 round B) Until the end command) is received, that is, during the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B, the second receiving ball 2432 is received in the second receiving port 2432. A target instruction effect indicating that the time when the entrance 2432 is opened (when the sorting piece 2433 is activated) is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 211 (B), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Chance mode! Aim for here!” An image showing the location of the second receiving port 2432 to be aimed by the player is displayed together with an image of the attacker unit 2400 including the entrance 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. Thereby, in order for the game ball to be received by the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the second grand prize winning opening 2006, it is possible to clearly know where to aim on the game area 5a.

  In the present embodiment, a cover member is provided on the front side of the attacker unit 2400 including the second grand prize opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like, but the cover member is transparent. Therefore, whether or not a game ball has been received in the second big prize opening 2006, whether or not the sorting piece 2433 is operating (whether or not the second receiving port 2432 is in an open state), second It is easy to visually recognize whether or not the game ball is received (distributed) in the receiving port 2432. Further, in the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B, the effect display device 1600 not only displays an image indicating the location of the second receiving port 2432 that the player should aim for, The second grand prize winning port 2006, the second receiving port 2432, and the sorting piece are irradiated by the LED from the back side of the attacker unit 2400 including the two major winning ports 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. A place such as 2433 that a player should aim for is made to stand out. On the other hand, except for the attacker unit 2400 including the second grand prize winning port 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, etc., by controlling the light emission of the LED etc. so that the entire game area 5a becomes dark, A place that the player should aim for, such as the second grand prize winning opening 2006, the second receiving opening 2432, and the sorting piece 2433, is made to stand out relatively. Thereby, in order for a game ball to be received in the 2nd entrance 2432 during the opening of the 2nd big winning opening 2006, it can be grasped easily where to aim on the game field 5a. Similarly, in the explanation effect executed before the first to third rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B are started, the second big winning opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, and the distribution are similarly performed. You may make it stand out the place which players, such as the piece 2433, should aim. In addition, in the first to third rounds of 15R big hit game state A and 15R big hit game state B, the player visually recognizes whether or not the game ball is actually received by the second receiving port 2432 due to the configuration of the game board 5. However, even when a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432, the back side of the attacker unit 2400 including the second big prize opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. In other words, it is easier for the player to visually recognize whether or not a game ball has been received at the second receiving port 2432.

  In addition, the following may be performed as another example of a technique for easily distinguishing the second grand prize winning port 2006, the second receiving port 2432, and the sorting piece 2433 from the player. For example, “the second grand prize winning opening 2006 should be structured so that the opening / closing operation can be easily identified (for example, an electric Chu type or an open type in which the opening / closing door is inclined forward”), “the opening of the second big winning prize opening 2006” For example, “the area should be larger than the opening area of the first big prize opening 2005”.

  Next, of the first to third rounds of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B, when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the second entrance passage command A or the second entrance command B, that is, special Each time a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 within a period of either the state or the non-special state, an effect at the time of passing V indicating that the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 is executed Yes. Specifically, when a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in a special state before the second receiving port passage flag is set (a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 for the first time in the special state). And when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in a special state after the second receiving port passing flag is set (the second receiving port 2432 in the special state) When the game ball is received) and when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in a non-special state, the second receiving port passing command A or the second receiving port passing command B is set. Then, as shown in FIG. 211C, the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “V passing!”. Thereby, for example, even when the player misses whether or not the game ball is actually received at the second receiving port 2432, it is clearly known that the game ball has been received at the second receiving port 2432. It is possible to increase the expectation that the high probability state will be controlled after the big hit gaming state ends.

  In the present embodiment, a special state (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 to be controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished) or a non-special state (second Even if a game ball is received at the receiving port 2432, it is not notified to the player as to whether or not it is set to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state is finished. In the effect display device 1600, when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state (when the second receiving port passage command A is received), the second receiving port 2432 is received during the non-special state. When the game ball is received at the time (when the second receiving port passage command B is received), the V passing effect is executed. For this reason, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 while the second grand prize opening 2006 is open, the period during which the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 was set to a special state. Alternatively, it is not possible to determine whether the non-special state has been set, that is, whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends.

  In this embodiment, the number of game balls that can be received at the second receiving port 2432 is not limited in the first to third rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. It is shown that as the number of game balls received at the entrance 2432 increases, the probability of controlling to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished increases. Then, in the effect display device 1600, after executing the V passing effect indicating that the game ball has been received at the second receiving port 2432, the first to third rounds of the 15R big hit game state A and the 15R big hit game state B As long as is not completed, the target instruction effect shown in FIG. 211 (B) (when the second receiving port 2432 is opened so that the game ball can be received by the second receiving port 2432 (when the sorting piece 2433 is activated)). (Representing the effect that should be aimed at)). Thus, unless the first to third rounds of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B have been completed, the player should make an effort so that the game balls can be received at the second receiving port 2432. Can be recognized. In the effect display device 1600, every time a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during either the special state or the non-special state, the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432. The total number of game balls received in the second receiving port 2432 during either the special state or the non-special state may be displayed.

  Next, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the fourth round of jackpot round start command (4 round A start command, 4 round B start command), 4-15 rounds of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B Between the eyes, it is not a game of whether or not a game ball is accepted at the second receiving port 2432 when the second big winning port 2006 is opened as in the first to third rounds, but simply the first big winning port 2005. Since the game is executed as to whether or not the game ball is accepted when the game is released, a big hit game effect is performed to entertain the game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 211 (D), in the effect display device 1600, the number of rounds executed in each of the fourth to fifteenth rounds is displayed. The bonus video that is not displayed in the game, the number of game balls accepted when the first grand prize opening 2005 is opened, and the game balls that are paid out based on the fact that the game balls are accepted into the first big prize opening 2005 The number (total number of winning balls) is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the second big winning opening 2006 in the first to third rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the big hit It is not possible to determine whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the end of the gaming state, but in subsequent games, whether to control to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state (whether controlled) ) Or whether it is not controlled to a high probability state (not controlled). For example, during execution of rounds 4-15 of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B, the player is notified whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends. Or at the end of the 15th round of the 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B (before and after the end), whether to control to the high probability state or not to control to the high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends The player is notified, or after the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B are finished, after several fluctuations to several tens of fluctuations are made as a special symbol fluctuation display, the state is controlled to a high probability state or a high probability What is necessary is just to notify a player whether it is not controlled by the state. Among these, even if the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B are finished, if it is hidden whether it is controlled to the high probability state or not controlled to the high probability state, it is controlled to the high probability state. The game can be continued with the expectation that it may have been played.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment (first embodiment), the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B (opening of the second big winning opening 2006 having the second receiving port 2432) By setting either the special state or the non-special state in the middle), even if a game ball is received (allocated) to the second receiving port 2432, it is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state It is difficult for the player to determine whether or not to control to a high probability state. Thereby, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, the player is not given a sense of security, and the player is given a sense of expectation and tension as to whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state. It is possible to continue the big hit game while giving to the game.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B (a period in which the second big winning opening 2006 having the second receiving port 2432 is opened multiple times) Among them, “the ratio set in the special state (the ratio staying in the special state)” is made different for each jackpot gaming state (15R jackpot gaming state A, 15R jackpot gaming state B). That is, in the 15R big hit gaming state A in which the proportion set in the special state (the proportion staying in the special state) is relatively large, the proportion set in the special state (the proportion staying in the special state) is relatively Compared to the small 15R big hit game state B, the possibility that a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state is increased, and a high probability state occurs when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 Is more likely to do. As a result, a big hit gaming state (15R big hit gaming state A) that is likely to be given a high probability state when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, and a gaming ball is received at the second receiving port 2432. The game is given a sharpness by the big hit gaming state (15R big hit gaming state B) that is unlikely to be given a high probability state when it is played, and a V prize (first round) at a predetermined time in the past (specific round) It is possible to prevent the game from becoming monotonous as compared to a gaming machine in which the big prize opening is opened for a long time.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, as described above, a big hit gaming state (15R big hit gaming state A) that is highly likely to be given a high probability state when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432. And a big hit game state (15R big hit game state B) that is unlikely to be given a high probability state when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, “the current big hit game state is It is possible to realize a game that expects and pays attention to the player that the game state is a big hit gaming state in which the occurrence rate of the special state is large.

  In addition, according to the first embodiment, the first round (specific) of the 1st to 3rd rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B (while the special state and the non-special state are set) In the first round of the 15R jackpot gaming state A, and the opening / closing mode (opening time, number of times of opening, opening timing, etc.) of the second big winning opening 2006 and the 15R jackpot gaming state B The opening / closing mode of the second grand prize winning opening 2006 spanning the first round and the second round (non-specific round that generates a non-special state) is the same. As a result, despite the occurrence of a special state in the first round of the 1st to 3rd rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B, one round from the opening / closing mode of the second big prize opening 2006 It is difficult to determine whether or not it is an eye, and the above-described game characteristics can be realized more effectively.

  In addition, according to the first embodiment, the first round (specific) of the 1st to 3rd rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B (while the special state and the non-special state are set) In the first round of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, while changing the number of times the second big winning opening 2006 is opened (twice in the 15R big hit gaming state A). , 15R jackpot gaming state B is 1), and the number of times the second grand prize winning opening 2006 is opened in the second to third rounds is different (15R jackpot gaming state A is 2 times in total, 15R jackpot gaming state B is 3 in total) Times). At that time, in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the number of times of opening the second big winning opening 2006 in the first round is different, but the second big winning opening 2006 in the generation period of the first to third rounds is different. By setting the number of times the second grand prize opening 2006 is opened in the second to third rounds so that the total number of times to be released is the same, a special state is generated in the first round of the first to third rounds. Nevertheless, it is difficult to determine how many rounds are being performed from the opening / closing operation of the second grand prize winning opening 2006, and the above-described game characteristics can be realized more effectively.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the second big prize opening 2006 in the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B (while the special state and the non-special state are set) The same opening / closing mode of 15R jackpot game state A and 15R jackpot game state B is set to a special state or a non-special state even when the opening operation of the second big prize opening 2006 is seen. It is difficult to determine whether it is set (or cannot be determined), and the above-described game characteristics can be more effectively realized.

  Further, it may be configured to be different as long as it approximates a part of a series of opening / closing modes of the second big winning opening 2006 in the period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. Good. For example, the opening time or opening timing in some opening operations among the plurality of opening operations of the second big prize opening 2006 in the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B, or It can be exemplified that the number of times of opening of the two big winning openings 2006 is approximated. As a first example of such a form, the 15R jackpot game of the first embodiment is a series of opening and closing modes of the second big prize opening 2006 in the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R jackpot game state B of the first embodiment. As in the state A, the first opening time of the second big prize opening 2006 is not “0.5 seconds”, although the rough opening / closing pattern “short opening → long opening → short opening → long opening” is common. Changed to “0.8 seconds” (changed to a slightly longer time), or changed the second opening time of the second big prize opening 2006 to “19 seconds” instead of “20 seconds” (slightly (Changed to a short time). Note that the difference in opening time that is different from the 15R big hit gaming state A is not limited to that described above as long as it is difficult for the player to determine. As a second example, the 15R jackpot gaming state A of the first embodiment is a series of opening and closing modes of the second big winning opening 2006 in the period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state B of the first embodiment. Similarly, while having the same general opening / closing pattern of “short opening → long opening → short opening → long opening”, the closing time between the first opening and the second opening of the second big prize opening 2006 (between rounds) Interval and in-round interval) were changed to "4.7 seconds" instead of "4.5 seconds", and the release timing was slightly delayed or changed to "4.2 seconds" to slightly advance the release timing. The thing can be illustrated. Note that the difference in closing time that is different from the 15R big hit gaming state A is not limited to that described above as long as it is difficult for the player to determine. As a third example, the 15R jackpot gaming state A of the first embodiment is a series of opening and closing modes of the second big winning opening 2006 in the period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state B of the first embodiment. While having a similar opening / closing pattern of “short opening → long opening”, another short opening (for example, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened once in 0.5 seconds) before and after the opening / closing pattern. In addition, the number of times of opening is slightly increased, and the rough opening / closing pattern of “short opening → long opening → short opening → long opening” of the 15R big hit gaming state A of the first embodiment, excluding the second short opening For example, the number of times of opening is slightly reduced. Note that the difference in the number of times of opening that is different from the 15R big hit gaming state A is not limited to that described above, as long as it is difficult for the player to determine. As described above, a series of opening / closing modes of the second big winning opening 2006 in the period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B are the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. By making the change to an approximate degree, it is difficult to determine whether it is set to a special state or a non-special state even when looking at the opening operation of the second big prize opening 2006, and the above-described game characteristics and Equivalent game characteristics can be realized.

  Further, the series of opening / closing modes of the second grand prize winning opening 2006 may include an operating mode of the sorting piece 2433 provided in the second big winning prize opening 2006, and the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit winning game. Although the operation time and the operation timing of the sorting piece 2433 in the generation period of the first to third rounds in the state B are partially different, at least the number of times of the sorting piece 2433 is the same (5 times in the first embodiment). By doing so, the series of opening and closing modes of the second big prize opening 2006 including the operating mode of the sorting piece 2433 is approximated by the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. Even when the opening operation of the second grand prize opening 2006 and the operation of the sorting piece 2433 are seen, it can be difficult to determine whether the special state or the non-special state is set. Game property and it is possible to realize the same game properties. However, as in a modified example of the first embodiment described later, not only the number of operations of the sorting piece 2433 in the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, but also the sorting piece 2433 The operation time and operation timing of the second winning prize opening 2006 including the operation mode of the sorting piece 2433 may be the same in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. Even in such a case, it is difficult to determine whether the state is set to the special state or the non-special state by looking at the opening operation of the second big prize opening 2006 and the operation of the sorting piece 2433. (Or indistinguishable), and the above-described game characteristics can be more effectively realized.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B (period in which the second big winning opening 2006 having the second receiving port 2432 is opened a plurality of times) Among them, when the sorting piece 2433 is operated, either the special state or the non-special state is set according to the state setting schedule of the second receiving port 2432. For this reason, although it is difficult to determine whether it is set to the special state or the non-special state even if the opening operation of the second big prize opening 2006 is seen as described above, the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state A game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 while predicting which of the B is controlled and predicting how many times the second big prize opening 2006 is opened in a special state (distribution) Can be entertained).

  Further, as in the first embodiment, by setting a special state and a non-special state in each big hit game state and allowing a game ball to be received in the second receiving port 2432, “high probability in each win game state” State occurrence difficulty ”,“ When a game ball can be received into the second receiving port 2432 that triggers the occurrence of a high probability state in each game state, or to the second receiving port 2432 that does not trigger a high probability state Can be controlled in a manner that reflects the intention of the game designer. Therefore, the above-described game characteristics can be reliably realized by suppressing the occurrence of a high probability state unintended by the game designer.

  In addition, according to the first embodiment, the following gaming effects can be achieved as compared with the conventional one. That is, in the conventional “game machine that controls to a high probability state based on receiving a game ball at the second receiving port 2432”, a mode in which a ball can be easily entered into the big prize opening (for example, An advantageous jackpot game state that opens the grand prize opening in a long time) and an unfavorable jackpot game state that opens the grand prize mouth in a manner that makes it difficult to enter the ball (for example, short time opening). Based on the occurrence rate of each jackpot gaming state set in advance by the designer, the presence / absence (probability of occurrence) of the high probability state is controlled. However, in such a conventional gaming machine, the player recognizes whether or not a high-probability state has occurred (difficulty to occur) at a glance depending on whether or not the big winning opening is opened in an easy-to-enter manner in the big hit gaming state. There was a problem. For example, in an advantageous big hit game state, it is recognized that there is a high possibility of being controlled to a high probability state by opening the big prize opening in a manner that makes it easy to enter, and at that point the player feels at ease. May be given. In this case, the game ball launching operation for generating a ball to the grand prize opening and the V winning is a mere work, and the fun of the gaming machine that focuses attention on the behavior of the launched game ball is impaired. There was a risk of a decline in interest. Also, in an unfavorable big hit game state, it is recognized that the possibility of being controlled to a high probability state is low because the big prize opening is opened in a manner that makes it difficult to enter, and at that point it is unfortunate to the player It may give a feeling. Also in this case, there is a possibility that the willingness to play will be reduced, and there is a possibility that the gaming interest will be lowered. On the other hand, according to the first embodiment, while having a conventional basic configuration that controls to a high probability state based on winning a V prize (equivalent to receiving a game ball in the second receiving port 2432). In each of the big hit game states (15R big hit game state A, 15R big hit game state B), it is possible to open the second big winning port 2006 in a manner that makes it easy to enter the ball. State (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 to be controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished) and a non-special state (a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432) In addition, it is difficult to determine a state in which control is not performed to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. This makes it possible to control the presence / absence (difficulty of occurrence) of a high probability state based on the occurrence rate of each big hit gaming state set in advance by the game designer, but is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends. The player can be discouraged from the action of the big prize opening, giving the player the willingness to actively enter the game balls into the second big prize opening 2006 and the second receiving opening 2432 during each big hit gaming state. Continuing, it becomes possible to give the game machine original interest that allows attention to the behavior of the launched game ball entering the second grand prize opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in gaming interest in the big hit gaming state.

  In addition, according to the first embodiment, the “special state” is allowed to be controlled (validated) after the end of the big hit gaming state by accepting the game ball in the second receiving port 2432. The “non-special state” is a state in which even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, it is not permitted (invalidated) to be controlled to a high-probability state after the jackpot gaming state is finished. It is. Thus, whenever a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “special state”, the high probability state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state, while in the “non-special state”, the second receiving port 2432 is controlled. Even if a game ball is accepted, it is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit game state is finished. On the other hand, when a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “special state” and the “non-special state”, a lottery is performed as to whether or not to control the high probability state after the big hit gaming state, Based on the result of the lottery, the ratio of the lottery game state is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state, and in the “special state”, the lottery result that will be controlled to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state May be higher than in the “non-special state”. Specifically, “a probability table for a special state that is set so that the rate of control to a high probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state is high” and “the ratio of control to the high probability state after the end of the jackpot gaming state Is a non-special state probability table set so as to be lower than the special state probability table, and when a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “special state”, the main The control MPU 1310a obtains a predetermined lottery random number (random numbers from 0 to 99), and uses the obtained lottery random number by using the “probability table for special state (a plurality of winning values are set)”. By determining whether or not the winning value matches (lottery), as a result of the lottery, it is possible to increase the ratio of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. On the other hand, when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “non-special state”, the main control MPU 1310a acquires a predetermined lottery random number (random number value of 0 to 99) and the lottery random number thus acquired. By using the “non-special state probability table (a smaller number of hit values are set than the special state probability table)” to determine whether or not it matches the winning value (lottery), As a result of the lottery, it is possible to lower the ratio of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state compared to the “non-special state”. For example, in the “special state probability table”, by setting the ratio of deriving the result of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state to about 90/100, the “special state” In most cases, by accepting a plurality of game balls, it is possible to control to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. Also, in the “non-special state probability table”, by setting the ratio of controlling to the time probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state to about 1/100, a plurality of “non-special state” In most cases, even if a game ball is accepted, it is possible not to control the high probability state after the big hit gaming state. Even in such a case, while the second grand prize winning opening 2006 is opened, it is difficult to distinguish either “special state” or “non-special state” from the operation of the second big winning prize opening 2006, and at least “special” The lottery results are not notified until the “state” and “non-special state” end (until the third round ends in the first embodiment), so that the second big prize opening 2006 during each jackpot gaming state. And whether or not the player is willing to enter the game ball positively into the second receiving port 2432 and whether the fired game ball enters the second big prize opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 or not. It is possible to add the original interest of gaming machines that pay attention to behavior. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in gaming interest in the big hit gaming state. Such a lottery may be performed also in a modification of the first embodiment described later and in the second embodiment.

  In the above, in both the “special state” and the “non-special state”, when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, the high probability state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state. However, when a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “special state”, the lottery is not performed (for example, a random number for lottery is not acquired). In the same process as in the embodiment, after the big hit game state is finished, the high probability state is controlled. When a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “non-special state”, a lottery game is performed by performing this lottery. You may make it determine whether it controls to a high probability state after completion | finish of a state. In such a case, although the lottery is performed in the “non-special state”, the ratio of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state is lower than the “special state”, but the “non-special state” Since the possibility of being controlled to a high probability state remains after the big hit gaming state even in the “state”, a game ball is entered in the second big winning opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 with an expectation during each big hit gaming state. And the same effects as described above. On the other hand, when a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 in the “special state”, it is determined whether or not to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state by performing lottery. When a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 in the “state”, a lottery is not performed (for example, a random number for lottery is not acquired), and a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state by the same process as in the first embodiment It may not be controlled. In such a case, a lottery will be performed in the “special state”, so that the ratio of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state is higher than the “non-special state”, but the “special state” Even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, it is not determined that the high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished, so that the player is not relieved during each big hit gaming state. While it is possible to continue the game balls entering the second big prize opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432, it is possible to achieve the same effects as described above.

[11-1. About the big hit gaming state of the modification of this embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment (first embodiment), as the whole of the first to third rounds in the 15R jackpot game state A and the 15R jackpot game state B, the opening time, the number of times of opening, and the opening timing are all Although it is the same, since the operation pattern of the distribution piece 2433 (operation time and operation timing of the distribution piece 2433) is partially different, is the 15R big hit game state A or the 15R big hit game state B? Although it is difficult for the player to discriminate, it is not impossible to discriminate. On the other hand, as the whole of the first to third rounds in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, not only the opening time and the number of times of opening the second big prize opening 2006, the opening timing, but also the operation of the sorting piece 2433 The pattern (the operation time and operation timing of the sorting piece 2433) may be the same so that the player cannot determine whether the game state is the 15R big hit game state A or the 15R big hit game state B. . The case of such specifications will be described with reference to FIGS. 212 and 213 as a modification of the first embodiment. FIG. 212A is an execution table in the 15R jackpot gaming state A in the modification of the first embodiment, and FIG. 212B is the execution table in the 15R jackpot gaming state B in the modification of the first embodiment. It is a table. FIG. 213 (A) is a timing chart of the first to third rounds executed according to the execution table in the 15R jackpot gaming state A in the modification of the first embodiment, and FIG. 213 (B) is the first embodiment. 12 is a timing chart of the first to third rounds executed according to the execution table in the 15R big hit gaming state B in the modified example. FIG. 212 (A) is the same as the execution table in the 15R big hit gaming state A in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 209 (A), and FIG. 213 (A) is shown in FIG. 210 (A). Since it is the same as the timing chart of the 1st to 3rd rounds executed according to the execution table in the 15R big hit gaming state A in the first embodiment, the description is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 212 (B), in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time as the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 in the first round ( 0.5 seconds). Also, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 in the first round, the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds). Is set to In addition, as a state setting schedule for the second receiving port 2432 in the first round, a special state (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and the state is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state) Is set to

  In addition, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 in the second round is set to open the second big prize opening 2006 for a long time (20 seconds). ing. The operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 in the second round is set so that the sorting piece 2433 operates for a long time (10 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds). Yes. In addition, as a state setting schedule of the second receiving port 2432 in the second round, a non-special state (even if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432, it is not controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished. Status).

  In addition, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, as the operation schedule of the first big prize opening 2005 and the second big prize opening 2006 in the third round, the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), and the round The second grand prize winning opening 2006 is set to be opened for a long time (20 seconds) after a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) has passed as the inner interval time. Also, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433 in the third round, when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds), When the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (20 seconds), the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds), and after a predetermined time (4.8 seconds) has elapsed, the long-time operation (10 Seconds). In addition, as a state setting schedule for the second receiving port 2432 in the third round, a non-special state (even if a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432, the high probability state is not controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished. Status).

  As shown in FIG. 213 (A) and FIG. 213 (B), in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the opening time and the number of opening times of the second big winning opening 2006 as the whole of the first to third rounds. , The opening timing is all the same. In addition, in the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B, the opening time and the number of times of opening of the second big winning opening 2006 in each of the first to third rounds are different. Does not notify the player. In the modification of the first embodiment, the operating time, the operating frequency, and the operating timing of the sorting piece 2433 are all the same as the first to third rounds in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. ing. As described above, in the modified example of the first embodiment, not only the opening pattern of the second big winning opening 2006 but also the sorting pieces as the whole of the first to third rounds in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. Since the operation pattern of 2433 is also the same, it is impossible for the player to determine whether the state is the 15R big hit gaming state A or the 15R big hit gaming state B. Therefore, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the second grand prize winning opening 2006, it is determined whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state. In the subsequent game, until it becomes possible to determine whether to control to a high probability state (controlled) or not to control to a high probability state (not controlled) after the big hit gaming state During this period, the game can be played with a sense of tension.

  As described above, according to the modification of the first embodiment, the distribution pieces 2433 in the generation period of 1 to 3 rounds (while the special state and the non-special state are set) of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. By approximating 15R big hit game state A and 15R big hit game state B, whether it is set to a special state or a non-special state even if the movement of the sorting piece 2433 is seen Can be made difficult to distinguish, and the game characteristics of the first embodiment can be realized more effectively.

  In the above-described embodiment (first embodiment), there are two large winning ports, the first large winning port 2005 and the second large winning port 2006 having a first receiving port 2431 and a second receiving port 2432 inside. However, it is possible to provide only the second grand prize opening 2006 without providing the first big prize opening 2005. In such a case, both the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B are set to open the second big winning opening 2005 once for a long time (for example, 20 seconds) in the 4th to 15th rounds. do it. While the second winning opening 2005 is opened, the second receiving port 2432 is always closed (the game ball is distributed to the first receiving port 2431 side by the sorting piece 2433). When the second grand prize opening 2006 is opened as in the third round, a game is not performed as to whether or not a game ball is distributed (accepted) to the second reception opening 2432, and the second big prize opening 2006 is simply It is only necessary to play a game as to whether or not a game ball is accepted at the time of opening. In this way, when only the second grand prize winning hole 2006 is provided, the player is able to play in the 1st to 3rd rounds and the 4th to 15th rounds in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. Since the target big winning opening (second big winning opening 2006) is the same, it is not necessary to perform actions such as changing the launch intensity of the game ball, and the game can be continued for the fourth to fifteenth rounds. .

  In the above-described embodiment, both the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B are only opened for a short time (0.5 seconds) when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for the first time. At the time of the first opening of 2006, it is extremely difficult for the game ball to be received in the second grand prize opening 2006, and further, the distribution is made during the period when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds). Since the piece 2433 is operated only for a short time (0.2 seconds), it is extremely difficult to distribute (accept) the game balls received in the second big prize opening 2006 to the second receiving opening 2432. On the other hand, both the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B are opened to the extent that the game balls can be received in the second big winning port 2006 when the second big winning port 2006 is opened for the first time. (For example, 2 seconds), and during the period when the second grand prize opening 2006 is opened, the sorting piece 2433 is operated to such an extent that a game ball can be distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432 ( For example, you may make it 1 second). As a result, in both the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the game balls received in the second big winning opening 2006 are more likely to be received at the second receiving opening 2432 than when the second big winning opening 2006 is opened. Although it is difficult to distribute (accept) to the second receiving port 2432, it is possible to distribute (accept) the game balls to the second winning prize opening 2006. Even at the time of opening, it is possible to entertain whether or not the game ball is distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432.

  Also, it is set to a special state (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and is controlled to a high probability state after completion of the big hit gaming state) until the second opening of the second big winning opening 2006. 15R jackpot gaming state C is provided separately, and the second opening of the second big prize opening 2006 is the third time than the second opening of the second big winning opening 2006. The opening time of the game is such that the probability that the game balls received at the second big prize opening 2006 will be distributed (accepted) to the second big prize opening 2432 (for example, the opening time of the second big prize opening 2006 and The operation time of the sorting piece 2433 may be increased in a stepwise manner. As a result, at the first opening of the second grand prize opening 2006, it is difficult for the game balls received at the second big prize opening 2006 to be distributed (accepted) to the second reception opening 2432. The game state is set to a special state at any execution time of the game states A to C, and the probability of controlling to a high probability state when a game ball is distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432 is high. (100% in this example). On the other hand, when the second grand prize opening 2006 is opened for the second and third times, it is easy for the game balls received in the second big prize opening 2006 to be distributed (accepted) to the second reception opening 2432. The special state is set only when the 15R big hit gaming state A and C are executed when the second big winning opening 2006 is opened for the second time, and when the 15R big hit gaming state C is executed when the second big winning opening 2006 is opened for the third time. However, the probability of controlling to a high probability state when a game ball is distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432 is lower as the number of times the second big prize opening 2006 is opened is increased. Accordingly, among the second and third opening of the second grand prize opening 2006, the probability that the game balls are distributed (accepted) to the second receiving opening 2432 increases as the number of times the second big prize opening 2006 is opened. However, it is possible to entertain a novel game in which the probability of controlling to a high probability state is reduced.

  As described above, as a modification of the first embodiment, the opening time for the first opening of the second big prize opening 2006 is slightly longer (for example, 2 seconds), and the first opening of the second big winning opening 2006 is performed. It is also possible to increase the possibility of entering the game ball at the time. In the first embodiment, in the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B, the start time of the special state is made the same while the end time of the special state is made different. Providing profits by accepting game balls into the second receiving port 2432 as soon as possible after the opening of the second grand prize opening 2006, which is allowed to be accepted into the second receiving port 2432 It is also possible to realize a unique game characteristic that “the possibility of giving a high probability state is increased”. Due to such game characteristics, it is possible to add new interest that makes the player pay attention to the “timing at which the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432” as compared with the conventional game.

[11-2. About another production example of this embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment (first embodiment), in the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B (while the special state and the non-special state are set), the second Whether or not the game ball is received (sorted) at the reception port 2432 is performed, but by executing the common effect on the effect display device 1600, is the 15R big hit game state A from the effect? Alternatively, it is difficult for the player to determine whether the game state B is 15R big hit. For this reason, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 when the second big prize opening 2006 is opened, it is impossible to determine whether or not it is highly likely that a high probability state will be given after the end of the big hit gaming state. It has become. On the other hand, in the first to third round occurrence periods of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B, a suggestion effect that suggests that there is a high possibility of being 15R jackpot A is a type of jackpot (15R jackpot A 15R big hit B), and the specification may be such that it is possible to determine whether or not there is a high possibility that a high probability state is given when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432. The case of such specifications will be described with reference to FIGS. 214 to 216 as a first example of another effect.

  First, a method for determining the suggestion effect determined based on the type of jackpot (15R jackpot A, 15R jackpot B) will be described. In the effect control process (step S602), the peripheral control MPU 1511a specifies 15R jackpot A from the received determination result notification command (may be a jackpot start command according to the jackpot type) 15R shown in FIG. When the effect pattern determination table for the big hit A is selected and the 15R big hit B is specified, the effect pattern determination table for the 15R big hit B shown in FIG. 214 is selected. Then, among the various random numbers updated in the random number update process (step S606), an effect pattern determination random number is read out, and the read effect pattern determination random number is compared with the selected effect pattern determination table, so that six types of effect pattern determination random numbers are compared. One of the effect patterns is determined from the effect patterns (effect patterns 0 to 5). Thereby, when the production pattern 0 is determined as the production based on the production pattern, the suggestion production suggesting that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A is not executed, and the production patterns 1 to 5 are performed. If determined, the suggestion effect is executed in the period specified by the type of effect pattern in the generation periods of the first to third rounds.

  As shown in FIG. 215, the effect pattern 0 is an effect pattern that does not execute a suggestion effect that suggests that there is a high possibility of being 15R jackpot A, and is 1 to 3 of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B. In the generation period of the round, as in the first embodiment, the second receiving port 2432 should be opened (when the sorting piece 2433 is activated) so that the game balls can be received in the second receiving port 2432. A target instruction effect indicating that is executed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 215, the production patterns 1 to 5 are production patterns for executing the suggestion production that suggests that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A, and the production production is executed with each production pattern. The period is different. Specifically, as the period for executing the suggestion effect, the effect pattern 1 includes an interval time (4.5 seconds) from the end of the first opening of the second big prize opening 2006 to the start of the second opening. For the corresponding period, the production pattern 2 includes the second big prize opening for the production pattern 3, the period from the start of the second opening of the second big prize opening 2006 until a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) elapses. During the period corresponding to the interval time (4.5 seconds) from the end of the second opening of 2006 to the start of the third opening, the production pattern 4 includes the second opening of the second prize opening 2006 from the end of the third opening. During the period corresponding to the interval time (4.5 seconds) until the fourth opening start time, the production pattern 5 has a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) from the start of the fourth opening of the second big prize opening 2006. A period is set to elapse. As described above, the period for performing the suggestive effect is set not only for the opening period of the second winning prize opening 2006 but also for the closing period (interval time) while being unified for a predetermined time (4.5 seconds). This makes it difficult to understand when the suggestion effect is executed, and makes it appear as if the suggestion effect is suddenly executed.

  Further, when the production patterns are determined to the production patterns 1 to 5, the target instruction production similar to the production pattern 0 is executed from the start of the first round of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. However, at the start timing of the period specified by the type of the production pattern, the execution is switched to the suggestion production that suggests that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A. Then, after the suggestion effect is executed, that is, after the period specified by the type of effect pattern ends, the period until the first to third round generation periods end (period until the fourth round starts). Does not return to the target instruction effect similar to the effect pattern 0, but executes a dedicated effect different from the target instruction effect. In this effect example, as a dedicated effect, the background image in the effect display device 1600 is changed to a red background image different from the execution time of the target instruction effect, but it can be determined that the suggestion effect has been executed. For example, the LED irradiated from the back side of the attacker unit 2400 including the second grand prize opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, etc. The light emission may be controlled with different colors, or various movable bodies provided on the game board 5 may be suddenly activated. In addition, you may be made to perform such an exclusive production not from after execution of suggestion production but during execution of suggestion production.

  The effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 214 is stored in the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control MPU 1511a, and when the 15R big hit A is determined, the 15R big hit A and the 15R big hit B are determined. And an effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit B at the time of use. In the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A, 10 determination values are set for effect pattern 0, and 18 determination values are set for each of effect patterns 1-5. On the other hand, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit B, 90 determination values are set for the effect pattern 0, and two determination values are set for each of the effect patterns 1 to 5.

  As described above, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A, a total of 90 determination values are set for the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggested effects, whereas the effect at the time of 15R big hit B In the pattern determination table, a total of 10 determination values are set for the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggestion effect. That is, when the big hit A is determined, the suggested effect is executed at a rate of 90%, whereas when the big hit B is determined, the suggested effect is executed at a rate of 10%. In this way, by varying the execution ratio of the suggestion effect depending on the type of jackpot, it is suggested that there is a high possibility of 15R jackpot A by the execution of the suggestion effect. Then, when it is suggested that the possibility of the 15R big hit A is high by the execution of the suggestion effect, the 15R big hit A is highly likely to be accepted by the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, and the big hit gaming state Since the game is a big hit with a high probability of controlling to a high probability state after the end of the game, a game ball is distributed to the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the first to third rounds. (Accepted or not) can be played with the expectation of a high probability state.

  Further, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A and at the time of 15R big hit B, determination values are equally set for each of the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggested effects (18 pieces for 15R big hit A, 15R (2 at the time of big hit B), the execution ratio of the suggested effects is the same in each period specified by the type of effect pattern. On the other hand, the number of determination values set for each of the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggestion effect is varied, and the execution ratio of the suggestion effect in each of the specified periods is different depending on the type of the effect pattern. You may do it. For example, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A and 15R big hit B, it is set so that the judgment value increases in the order of effect pattern 1> effect pattern 2> effect pattern 3> effect pattern 4> effect pattern 5. Thus, the execution ratio of the suggestive effect in the early stage in the generation period of the first to third rounds is high, and the ratio of recognizing that there is a high possibility of 15R big hit A from the early stage is high. In the case of such a specification, the willingness to enter the game ball into the second big winning opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 from an early stage in the generation period of the first to third rounds is increased. The game can be performed with the expectation of becoming a high probability state.

  Further, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A and at the time of 15R big hit B, determination values are equally set for each of the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggested effects (18 pieces for 15R big hit A, 15R (2 at the time of the big hit B), the possibility (expectation degree) of 15R big hit A is the same when the suggested production is executed in each of the periods specified by the types of production patterns. . On the other hand, the number of determination values set for each of the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggestion effect is varied, and the suggestion effect is executed in each of the periods specified by the type of the effect pattern. The possibility (expectation) of 15R big hit A may be different. For example, in the effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit A, setting is made so that the judgment value increases in the order of effect pattern 1> effect pattern 2> effect pattern 3> effect pattern 4> effect pattern 5. In the production pattern determination table, by setting so that the judgment value increases in the order of production pattern 1 <production pattern 2 <production pattern 3 <production pattern 4 <production pattern 5, among the generation periods of the first to third rounds The possibility (expectation) of 15R big hit A increases as the suggestion effect is executed at a later stage. In such a specification, even if the suggestion effect is not executed at an early stage in the generation periods of the first to third rounds, the possibility that the suggestion effect is executed at a later stage may be 15R big hit A Since (expectation degree) becomes high, it can be made to pay attention with expectation whether the suggestion effect is performed in the subsequent stage.

  In the first other production example, among the execution periods of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B, as the period during which the suggestive stage suggesting that there is a high possibility of being 15R jackpot A is possible, The first to third round occurrence period (while the special state and non-special state are set), that is, the period during which a game is performed whether or not a game ball is accepted (distributed) at the second receiving port 2432 However, the execution period of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B may be set, and may be set to the generation period of the 4th to 15th rounds in which the first big winning opening 2005 is opened. Thus, when the suggestion effect is executed within the generation period of the fourth to fifteenth rounds, a 15R big hit A is given after the game whether or not the game ball is accepted (distributed) at the second receiving port 2432. The player can recognize that there is a high possibility that

  Next, as a first other effect example, a suggestion effect is executed during the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B (while the special state and the non-special state are set). Referring to FIG. 216, a specific example of the effect at the time of execution of the suggestion effect in the effect display device 1600 will be described.

  First, similarly to the production example of the first embodiment, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives a big hit start command (15R big hit A start command, 15R big hit B start command), the first big hit round start command (one round) (A start command, 1 round B start command), that is, until the waiting time until the jackpot gaming state set in the interval timer in the process of step S190 described above elapses. , 15R big hit game state A and 15R big hit game state B in the first to third rounds of explanation effects are executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 216 (A), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “If V passes while opening the V attacker, it may change!”. As a result, if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 while the second grand prize winning opening 2006 is open, there is a chance that a chance to be controlled to a high probability state occurs after the end of the big hit gaming state. Can understand.

  Next, in the same way as the production example of the first embodiment, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the first round jackpot start command (1 round A start command, 1 round B start command), the third round jackpot ends. Until receiving the command (3 round A end command, 3 round B end command), that is, during the 1st to 3rd rounds of 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B, the second receiving port 2432 A target instruction effect indicating that the time when the second receiving port 2432 is opened (when the sorting piece 2433 is activated) is executed so that a game ball can be received. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 216 (B), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Challenging! Aim here!” An image showing the location of the second receiving port 2432 to be aimed by the player is displayed together with an image of the attacker unit 2400 including 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. Thereby, in order for the game ball to be received by the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the second grand prize winning opening 2006, it is possible to clearly know where to aim on the game area 5a.

  Next, when the effect patterns 1 to 5 for executing the suggestion effect are determined as the effect patterns, in the period specified by the type of the effect pattern in the generation periods of the first to third rounds, 15R big hit A The suggestion production which suggests that there is a high possibility is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 216 (C), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Large chance!”. This makes it possible for the player to recognize that there is a high possibility that the 15R big hit game state A is high, that is, the running big hit game state is highly likely to be the 15R big hit game state A. Then, when it is suggested that the possibility of the 15R big hit A is high by the execution of the suggestion effect, the 15R big hit A is highly likely to be accepted by the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, and the big hit gaming state Since the game is a big hit with a high probability of controlling to a high probability state after the end of the game, a game ball is distributed to the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the first to third rounds. (Accepted or not) can be played with the expectation of a high probability state.

  In addition, it is suggested that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A during the 1st to 3rd round occurrence period of 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B (while special state and non-special state are set) If the suggestion effect is performed, the game situation when the suggestion effect is performed is “under a game situation in which V has not yet passed (the game ball is not accepted at the second receiving port 2432)”. By executing the suggestion effect, it is possible to further increase the motivation and tension for passing V and to improve the gaming interest in the big hit gaming state. On the other hand, if the game situation when the suggestion effect is performed is “under the game situation after already passing V (after the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432)”, the execution of the suggestion effect makes it safe. In addition to giving a sense of feeling and a sense of expectation, it is possible to increase motivation for further V winnings and to improve the gaming interest in the big hit gaming state. In this way, by performing the suggestion effect during the execution of the game related to the V passage (the game whether the game ball is received (sorted) in the second receiving port 2432), It is possible to give different impressions to the player in the case where the presentation is performed and in the case where the suggestion is performed before passing through the V, and it is possible to enhance the gaming interest in the form according to the gaming situation at that time Become.

  Next, in the period specified by the type of effect pattern in the first to third rounds, after the suggestion effect that suggests that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A, A special effect with a different background color is being executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 216 (D), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “A great chance! Aim here!” And the background image in the effect display device 1600 The background image is changed to a red background image that is different from the execution time of the target instruction effect. As a result, it is possible to let the player recognize the fact that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A from the suggestion effect, and in the remaining period of the first to third round occurrence period, The willingness to enter the game ball into the second receiving port 2432 increases. At the time of execution of the dedicated effect, similar to the target instruction effect, the effect display device 1600 is accompanied by an image that reproduces the attacker unit 2400 including the second big prize opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. Whether the game ball is distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432 while the second big winning opening 2006 is opened by displaying the image indicating the location of the second receiving port 2432 that the player should aim at It is possible to make the player understand that the game is being continued.

  Next, as in the example of the first embodiment, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the fourth round jackpot round start command (4 round A start command, 4 round B start command), the 15R jackpot gaming state A And during the 4th to 15th rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state B, in the game of whether or not the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 when the second big winning opening 2006 is opened as in the 1st to 3rd rounds. Rather, since a game is performed as to whether or not a game ball is accepted when the first grand prize winning opening 2005 is opened, an effect during the big hit game is performed to entertain the game period. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 216 (E), in the effect display device 1600, the number of rounds executed in each of the fourth to fifteenth rounds is displayed. The bonus video that is not displayed in the game, the number of game balls accepted when the first grand prize opening 2005 is opened, and the game balls that are paid out based on the fact that the game balls are accepted into the first big prize opening 2005 The number (total number of winning balls) is displayed.

  As described above, in the first other effect example, in the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B (while the special state and the non-special state are set), 15R The suggestion effect that suggests that there is a high probability of being a big hit A is executed based on the type of the big hit (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B), but the suggested effect is promoted from the suggested effect A to the suggested effect B. When it is promoted from the suggestion effect A to the suggestion effect B, the specification may be executed so that the possibility of being 15R big hit A becomes higher. The case of such specifications will be described with reference to FIGS. 216 to 219 as a second example of another effect.

  First, a method for determining the suggestion effect (the suggestion effect A and the suggestion effect B) determined based on the type of jackpot (15R jackpot A, 15R jackpot B) will be described. In the effect control process (step S602), the peripheral control MPU 1511a specifies 15R jackpot A from the received determination result notification command (may be a jackpot start command according to the jackpot type) 15R shown in FIG. When the effect pattern determination table for the big hit A is selected and the 15R big hit B is specified, the effect pattern determination table for the 15R big hit B shown in FIG. 216 is selected. Then, among the various random numbers updated in the random number update process (step S606), an effect pattern determination random number is read out, and the read effect pattern determination random number is compared with the selected effect pattern determination table, so that One of the effect patterns is determined from the effect patterns (effect patterns 0 to 6). Thereby, when the production pattern 0 is determined as the production based on the production pattern, neither the suggestion production A nor the suggestion production B is executed, and when the production pattern 1 is decided, 1 When the suggestion effect A is executed before the occurrence period of the third round and the effect patterns 2 to 6 are determined, after the suggestion effect A is executed before the occurrence period of the first to third rounds, The suggestion effect A is promoted to the suggestion effect B in the period specified by the type of effect pattern in the generation period of the third round.

  As shown in FIG. 217, the effect pattern 0 is an effect pattern that does not execute the suggestion effect (the suggestion effect A and the suggestion effect B) that suggests that there is a high possibility that it is a 15R jackpot A, and is the same as in the first embodiment. In addition, before the 1st to 3rd round occurrence periods of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B (before the start of the jackpot gaming state), an explanatory effect that explains the gaming method in the first to third rounds is executed. In the generation period of the first to third rounds, a target indicating that the second receiving port 2432 should be opened (when the sorting piece 2433 is activated) so that a game ball can be received in the second receiving port 2432 The instruction effect will be executed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 217, the production pattern 1 is an production pattern that executes only the suggestion production A as a suggestion production that suggests that there is a high possibility of being a 15R big hit A. The peripheral control board 1510 receives the jackpot start command (1 round A start command, 1 round B start command) after the first round after receiving the jackpot start command (15R jackpot A start command, 15R jackpot B start command) A period until the start time, that is, a waiting time until the big hit gaming state set in the interval timer in the process of step S190 starts is set.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 217, after performing the suggestion effect A as the suggestion effect that suggests that the effect patterns 2 to 6 are likely to be 15R jackpot A, the effect patterns 2 to 6 are promoted from the suggestion effect A to the suggestion effect B. The period of executing the suggestion effect A is the same as that of the effect pattern 1, but the period of executing the suggestion effect B is different for each effect pattern. Specifically, as the period for executing the suggestion effect B, the effect pattern 2 includes an interval time (4.5 seconds) from the end of the first opening of the second big prize opening 2006 to the start of the second opening. In the period corresponding to, the production pattern 3 has a period from the start of the second opening of the second grand prize opening 2006 until a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) elapses, and the production pattern 4 has a second grand prize. During the period corresponding to the interval time (4.5 seconds) from the end of the second opening of the mouth 2006 to the end of the third opening, the effect pattern 5 includes the end of the third opening of the second grand prize opening 2006 In the period from the start of the fourth opening of the second big prize opening 2006, a period until a predetermined time (4.5 seconds) elapses is set in the effect pattern 6 from the start to the fourth opening start. . Thus, the period for executing the suggestion effect B is set not only for the opening period of the second big prize opening 2006 but also for the closing period (interval time) while being unified for a predetermined time (4.5 seconds). Therefore, it is difficult to understand when the suggestion effect A is promoted to the suggestion effect B, and it can appear as if it is suddenly promoted to the suggestion effect B.

  In addition, when the production pattern is determined to be the production pattern 0, before the occurrence period of the first to third rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B (before the start of the big hit gaming state), The explanation effect which explains the game method in the 3rd round is executed, but when it is decided to effect patterns 1-6, it is not an explanation effect but as a suggestion effect which suggests that there is a high possibility that it is 15R big hit A The suggestion effect A is executed. When the production patterns are determined to the production patterns 2 to 6, the target instruction production similar to the production patterns 0 and 1 is performed from the start of the first round of the 15R big hit gaming state A and the 15R big hit gaming state B. Although it is executed, at the start timing of the period specified by the type of the effect pattern, the suggestion effect B suggesting that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A is switched to the effect effect B and executed. Then, after executing the suggestion effect B, that is, after the period specified by the type of the effect pattern ends, the period until the generation period of the first to third rounds ends (period until the fourth round starts) Is not returned to the target instruction effect similar to the effect patterns 0 and 1, and a dedicated effect different from the target instruction effect is executed. In this effect example, as a dedicated effect, the background image in the effect display device 1600 is changed to a red background image different from the execution time of the target instruction effect, but it can be determined that the suggestion effect has been executed. For example, the LED irradiated from the back side of the attacker unit 2400 including the second grand prize opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, etc. The light emission may be controlled with different colors, or various movable bodies provided on the game board 5 may be suddenly activated. Note that such a dedicated effect may be executed during execution of the suggestion effect B, not after execution of the suggestion effect B.

  The effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. 216 is stored in the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control MPU 1511a, and the effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit A and 15R big hit B used when the 15R big hit A is determined. And an effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit B at the time of being used. Then, in the effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit A, five determination values are set for each of the effect patterns 0 and 1, and 18 determination values are set for each of the effect patterns 2 to 6. Has been. On the other hand, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit B, 45 determination values are set for each of the effect patterns 0 and 1, and two determination values are set for each of the effect patterns 2 to 6. Has been.

  As described above, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A, a total of 95 judgment values are set for the effect patterns 1 to 6 that execute at least the suggested effect A. In the effect pattern determination table, a total of 55 determination values are set for effect patterns 1 to 6 that execute at least the suggestion effect A. That is, when the big hit A is determined, the suggestive effect A is executed at a rate of 95%, whereas when the big hit B is determined, the suggested effect A is executed at a rate of 55%. . In this way, by varying the execution ratio of the suggestion effect A depending on the type of jackpot, it is suggested that there is a high possibility of 15R jackpot A by the execution of the suggestion effect A. Then, when it is suggested by execution of the suggestive effect A that there is a high possibility of 15R big hit A, 15R big hit A is highly likely to be accepted into the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, and the big hit game Since it is a big hit with a high probability of controlling to a high probability state after the state ends, games in the generation period of the first to third rounds (game balls are distributed to the second receiving port 2432 while the second big prize opening 2006 is opened) Be played (accepted or not) can be performed with the expectation of a high probability state.

  In addition, in the effect pattern determination table for 15R jackpot A, a total of 90 determination values are set for the effect patterns 2 to 6 that are promoted from the suggestion effect A to the suggestion effect B. In the effect pattern determination table, a total of 10 determination values are set for the effect patterns 2 to 6 promoted from the suggestion effect A to the suggestion effect B. That is, when the big hit A is determined, the suggested effect B is executed at a rate of 90%, whereas when the big hit B is determined, the suggested effect B is executed at a rate of 10%. . In this way, the execution ratio of the suggestion effect B varies depending on the type of the big hit, but by suggesting that the suggestion effect A is executed rather than only the suggestion effect A being executed by making the execution ratio different from the execution ratio of the suggestion effect A. It is suggested that there is a higher possibility of being 15R big hit A when promoted to stage B. When the suggestion effect A is promoted to the suggestion effect B, the suggestion effect B is a suggestion effect that is more likely to be a 15R big hit A than the suggestion effect A. The game can be played with the expectation of a high probability state. In addition, when the suggestion effect A is executed before the generation period of the first to third rounds of 15R jackpot gaming state A and 15R jackpot gaming state B (before the start of the jackpot gaming state), the subsequent 1-3 rounds In the generation period of the eyes, attention can be paid to whether or not the suggestion effect A is promoted to the suggestion effect B.

  In addition, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A and at the time of 15R big hit B, a judgment value is set equally for each of the effect patterns 2 to 6 promoted from the suggested effect A to the suggested effect B (at the time of 15R big hit A 18 pieces, two pieces at the time of 15R big hit B), the execution ratio of the suggestive effect B in each of the periods specified by the type of the effect pattern is the same. On the other hand, the number of judgment values set for each of the production patterns 2 to 6 promoted from the suggestion production A to the suggestion production B is varied, and the suggestion production in each period specified by the type of the production pattern. The execution ratio of B may be different. For example, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A and 15R big hit B, it is set so that the judgment value increases in the order of effect pattern 2> effect pattern 3> effect pattern 4> effect pattern 5> effect pattern 6. In the generation period of the first to third rounds, the execution ratio of the suggestion effect B is high, and the ratio of recognizing that there is a high possibility that the suggestion effect A is 15R big hit A from the early stage is high. Become. In the case of such a specification, the willingness to enter the game ball into the second big winning opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 from an early stage in the generation period of the first to third rounds is increased. The game can be performed with the expectation of becoming a high probability state.

  In addition, in the effect pattern determination table at the time of 15R big hit A and at the time of 15R big hit B, a judgment value is set equally for each of the effect patterns 2 to 6 promoted from the suggested effect A to the suggested effect B (at the time of 15R big hit A (Each 18, 2 at the time of 15R big hit B), when the suggested production B is executed in each of the periods specified by the type of production pattern, there is a possibility of 15R big hit A (expectation) Are the same. On the other hand, the number of determination values set for each of the production patterns 2 to 6 promoted from the suggestion production A to the suggestion production B is changed, and the suggestion production B is determined for each period specified by the type of the production pattern The possibility (expected degree) of being 15R big hit A may be made different. For example, in the effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit A, setting is made so that the judgment value increases in the order of effect pattern 2> effect pattern 3> effect pattern 4> effect pattern 5> effect pattern 6. In the production pattern determination table, by setting so that the judgment value increases in the order of production pattern 2 <production pattern 3 <production pattern 4 <production pattern 5 <production pattern 6. The possibility (expectation) of being 15R big hit A increases as the suggestion effect B is executed at a later stage. In the case of such a specification, even if the suggestion effect B is not executed at an early stage in the generation periods of the first to third rounds, the suggestion effect B is executed at a later stage so that it is 15R big hit A. Since possibility (expectation degree) becomes high, it can be made to pay attention with expectation whether the suggestion effect B is performed in the subsequent stage.

  In the effect pattern determination table for 15R big hit A and 15R big hit B, as the production patterns 2 to 6, before the first to third round occurrence periods of 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B (big hit) After the suggestion effect A is executed before the start of the gaming state), the suggestion effect B is executed during the generation period of the first to third rounds. An effect pattern that sequentially executes the suggestion effect A and the suggestion effect B may be set in the generation period of the first to third rounds without executing the suggestion effect A). Moreover, in the generation period of the 1st to 3rd rounds, an effect pattern that suddenly executes only one of the suggestion effect A and the suggestion effect B may be set. In the case of such a specification, even if the suggestive effect A is not executed before the occurrence period of the first to third rounds (before the start of the big hit gaming state), the subsequent first to third rounds are generated. Whether or not the suggestion effect A and the suggestion effect B are executed during the period can be expected with attention.

  Next, after the suggestion effect A is executed before the occurrence period of the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B (before the start of the jackpot gaming state) as a second another rendering example, About the case where the suggestion effect B is executed in the generation period of the first to third rounds (while the special state and the non-special state are set), the specifics at the execution time of the suggestion effect A and the suggestion effect B in the effect display device 1600 A typical effect example will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, when the effect pattern 0 that does not execute the suggestion effect A is determined as the effect pattern, the peripheral control board 1510 receives a big hit start command (15R big hit A start command, 15R, as in the example of the first embodiment). Until the first big hit round start command (1 round A start command, 1 round B start command) is received after receiving the big hit B start command). Until the waiting time until the set jackpot gaming state starts, an explanation effect that explains the gaming method in the first to third rounds of the 15R jackpot gaming state A and the 15R jackpot gaming state B is executed. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 219 (A), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “If V passes while the V attacker is open, it may change!”. As a result, if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 while the second grand prize winning opening 2006 is open, there is a chance that a chance to be controlled to a high probability state occurs after the end of the big hit gaming state. Can understand.

  On the other hand, when the production patterns 1 to 6 for executing at least the suggestion production A are determined as the production patterns, the peripheral control board 1510 receives a big hit start command (15R big hit A start command, 15R big hit B start command). Until the first round of jackpot round start command (1 round A start command, 1 round B start command) is received, that is, the jackpot gaming state set in the interval timer in the processing of step S190 described above is started. Until the waiting time until the time elapses, a suggestion effect A that suggests that there is a high possibility of being 15R big hit A is executed instead of the explanation effect described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 219 (B), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Chance!”. Thereby, it is possible to make the player recognize that there is a high possibility that the 15R big hit game state A is high, that is, the executed big hit game state is highly likely to be the 15R big hit game state A. Then, when it is suggested by execution of the suggestive effect A that there is a high possibility of 15R big hit A, 15R big hit A is highly likely to be accepted into the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, and the big hit game Since it is a big hit with a high probability of controlling to a high probability state after the state ends, games in the generation period of the first to third rounds (game balls are distributed to the second receiving port 2432 while the second big prize opening 2006 is opened) Be played (accepted or not) can be performed with the expectation of a high probability state.

  Next, in the same way as the production example of the first embodiment, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the first round jackpot start command (1 round A start command, 1 round B start command), the third round jackpot ends. Until receiving the command (3 round A end command, 3 round B end command), that is, during the 1st to 3rd rounds of 15R big hit gaming state A and 15R big hit gaming state B, the second receiving port 2432 A target instruction effect indicating that the time when the second receiving port 2432 is opened (when the sorting piece 2433 is activated) is executed so that a game ball can be received. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 219 (C), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Challenging! Aim here!” An image showing the location of the second receiving port 2432 to be aimed by the player is displayed together with an image of the attacker unit 2400 including 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. Thereby, in order for the game ball to be received by the second receiving port 2432 during the opening of the second grand prize winning opening 2006, it is possible to clearly know where to aim on the game area 5a. In addition, when the suggestion effect A is executed before the occurrence period of the first to third rounds (before the start of the big hit gaming state), the effect display device 1600 displays a message “Chance now! Aim here!” By changing, it is possible to continue to make the player recognize from the suggestion effect A that there is a high possibility that it is 15R big hit A, and in the remaining period of the first to third round occurrence period, the second big prize A willingness to enter a game ball into the mouth 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 is increased.

  Next, when the production patterns 2 to 6 to be promoted from the suggestion production A to the suggestion production B are determined as the production patterns, in the period specified by the type of the production pattern among the generation periods of the first to third rounds. The suggestion effect B suggesting that there is a high possibility that it is 15R big hit A than the suggestion effect A is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 219 (D), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Great chance!”. Thereby, it is possible to make the player recognize that there is a high possibility that the 15R big hit game state is higher than the suggestion effect A, that is, the running big hit game state is highly likely to be the 15R big hit game state A. When the suggestion effect A is promoted to the suggestion effect B, the suggestion effect B is a suggestion effect that is more likely to be a 15R big hit A than the suggestion effect A. The game can be played with the expectation of a high probability state.

  Next, after the suggestion effect B suggesting that there is a high possibility that it is 15R big hit A than the suggestion effect A in the period specified by the type of effect pattern among the generation periods of the first to third rounds, A special effect with a different background color from the target instruction effect is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 219 (E), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Large chance! Aim here!” And the background image on the effect display device 1600 The background image is changed to a red background image that is different from the execution time of the target instruction effect. As a result, it is possible to continue to make the player recognize from the suggestion effect B that there is a higher possibility of being 15R big hit A than the suggestion effect A, and in the remaining period of the first to third rounds, The willingness to enter the game ball into the two major winning holes 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 increases. At the time of execution of the dedicated effect, similar to the target instruction effect, the effect display device 1600 is accompanied by an image that reproduces the attacker unit 2400 including the second big prize opening 2006, the second receiving port 2432, the sorting piece 2433, and the like. Whether the game ball is distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432 while the second big winning opening 2006 is opened by displaying the image indicating the location of the second receiving port 2432 that the player should aim at It is possible to make the player understand that the game is being continued.

  Next, as in the example of the first embodiment, after the peripheral control board 1510 receives the fourth round jackpot round start command (4 round A start command, 4 round B start command), the 15R jackpot gaming state A And during the 4th to 15th rounds of the 15R big hit gaming state B, in the game of whether or not the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 when the second big winning opening 2006 is opened as in the 1st to 3rd rounds. Rather, since a game is performed as to whether or not a game ball is accepted when the first grand prize winning opening 2005 is opened, an effect during the big hit game is performed to entertain the game period. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 219 (F), in the effect display device 1600, the number of rounds executed in each of the 4th to 15th rounds is displayed. The bonus video that is not displayed in the game, the number of game balls accepted when the first grand prize opening 2005 is opened, and the game balls that are paid out based on the fact that the game balls are accepted into the first big prize opening 2005 The number (total number of winning balls) is displayed.

[12. About the jackpot gaming state of the second embodiment]
In the above-described embodiment (first embodiment), there are two large winning ports, the first large winning port 2005 and the second large winning port 2006 having a first receiving port 2431 and a second receiving port 2432 inside. Although it has, it is good also as a specification provided with only the 2nd big winning opening 2006, without providing the 1st big winning opening 2005. Then, the 15R big hit gaming states A to C using the second big winning opening 2006 are executed, and in each round of 1 to 15 rounds in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, Not only the opening time, the number of times of opening, and the opening timing, but also the operating time, the number of times of operation, and the operating timing of the sorting piece 2433 are the same, so that the player cannot determine which of the 15R big hit gaming states A to C. It is good also as the specification which enables. A case where such a specification is adopted will be described as a second embodiment with reference to FIGS. 220 to 225. In the following description of the second embodiment, since the first grand prize opening 2005 is not provided for the second big prize opening 2006, it is simply described as the big prize opening 2006. The function of having the second receiving port 2432 is the same as that of the second big prize opening 2006.

  As shown in FIG. 220, the game board 5 of the second embodiment includes an attacker unit 2400 that includes a big prize opening 2006 having a first receiving port 2431 and a second receiving port 2432, a sorting piece 2433, and the like. ing. In the attacker unit 2400 of the second embodiment, members related to the first grand prize opening 2005 (the first big prize opening 2005, the first big prize opening sensor 4005, the first big prize opening door 2412, the first attacker solenoid 2108, and the like). ) Is configured in the same manner as the gaming board 5 of the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 221, in the symbol determination table of the second embodiment, symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) are associated with each determination result (15R big hit A, 15R big hit B, 15R big hit C). It is remembered as it is done. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 determines the type of jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of the second embodiment, the determination probability of the jackpot type determined based on the first symbol random number is different from the determination probability of the jackpot type determined based on the second symbol random number. It is set.

In particular,
1.15R big hit opening 2006 is controlled to open and close 30 times according to the big hit gaming state A, and when the first winning opening 2006 is opened for the first to fifth times, it is opened for a short time (the game ball is difficult to enter). For example, 0.5 seconds), and the 6th to 30th opening of the grand prize opening 2006 is set to open for a long time (opening that allows a game ball to enter (easy). For example, 2 seconds). Special state with long-time opening of the grand prize winning opening 2006 corresponding to the eyes for a long time (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and a high probability state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state) When the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is displayed 100 times after the big hit game state is finished. Until If the game ball is not received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state while the probability short state is controlled, the special symbols (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) change after the end of the big hit gaming state. 15R big hit A that controls to a low probability short state until the display is executed 100 times
2. Opening and closing control of the big winning opening 2006 is performed 30 times according to the 15R big hit gaming state B. When the first winning opening 2006 is opened for the first to fifth times, it is opened for a short time (the game ball is difficult to enter). For example, 0.5 seconds), and the 6th to 30th opening of the grand prize opening 2006 is set to open for a long time (opening that allows a game ball to enter (easy). For example, 2 seconds). Special state with long-time opening of the grand prize winning opening 2006 corresponding to the eyes for a long time (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state) When the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is displayed 100 times after the big hit game state is finished. High until If the game ball is not received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state while the rate is controlled to be short, the change of the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) after the end of the big hit gaming state 15R big hit B that controls to a low probability short state until the display is executed 100 times
3. 15R jackpot 2006 is controlled to open and close 30 times according to the game state C, and when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for the first to fifth times, it is opened for a short time (the game ball is difficult to enter). For example, 0.5 seconds), and the 6th to 30th opening of the grand prize opening 2006 is set to open for a long time (opening that allows a game ball to enter (easy). For example, 2 seconds). Special state with long-time opening of nine grand prize winning openings 2006 corresponding to eyes (a state in which a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 and is controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state) When the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state, the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) is displayed 100 times after the big hit game state is finished. High until If the game ball is not received at the second receiving port 2432 during the special state while the rate is controlled to be short, the change of the special symbol (the first special symbol and the second special symbol) after the end of the big hit gaming state The jackpot is determined to be one of the three types of big hits of 15R big hit C, which is controlled to a short state at low probability until the display is executed 100 times.

  In the second embodiment, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. The symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol is set so that the judgment value distribution is different from that of the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, and the determination ratio of each jackpot is different. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 221, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, among the 15R jackpots A to C, the 15R jackpot A and the 15R jackpot C that are relatively advantageous to the player (in the special state) On the other hand, there is a high probability of accepting a game ball at the second receiving port 2432, and a determination value of 25 is set for each big hit with a high probability of controlling to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state ends. On the other hand, 15R big hit B, which is relatively unfavorable to the player (a big hit with a low probability that a game ball will be received in the second receiving port 2432 during a special state and a low probability of controlling to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state) 50 determination values are assigned to each other. On the other hand, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, among the 15R jackpots A to C, the determination value is assigned only to the 15R jackpot A that is relatively advantageous to the player.

  Further, when the type of jackpot is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of jackpot is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when 15R big hit A is decided, 15R big hit A symbol is decided as the big hit symbol, and when 15R big hit B is decided, 15R big hit B symbol is decided as the big hit symbol and 15R big hit C is decided. In such a case, the 15R big hit C symbol is determined as the big hit symbol. In the second special symbol stop symbol setting process (not shown), when 15R jackpot A is determined, 15R jackpot A symbol is determined as the jackpot symbol.

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU 1511a sets the 15R big hit A out of the big hits related to the first special symbol from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) when the decoration symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 is stopped. If specified, the 15R big hit A symbol (combination of the same decorative symbols) is determined. If the 15R big hit B is specified, the 15R big hit B symbol (common with the 15R big hit A symbol) is determined, and the 15R big hit C symbol is determined. When specified, the 15R big hit C symbol (common with the 15R big hit C symbol) is determined, and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the reach production), the determined stop symbol is produced and displayed. Display control is performed on the device 1600. As described above, when the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 is stopped variably in any of the 15R big hit A symbol, the 15R big hit B symbol, or the 15R big hit C symbol, the decorative symbol is a big hit from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol. However, since a common symbol is used as the 15R big hit A symbol, the 15R big hit B symbol, and the 15R big hit C symbol, it is necessary to discriminate between 15R big hit A, 15R big hit B, or 15R big hit C. I can't.

  The execution table for 15R jackpot gaming states A to C shown in FIG. 222 is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 1310a, and the operation schedule of the big winning opening 2006 in the 1st to 15th rounds, And the state setting schedule of the second receiving port 2432 are associated with each other. 223 (A) is a timing chart of the first to fifteenth release executed according to the execution table in the 15R jackpot gaming state A, and FIG. 223 (B) is executed according to the execution table in the 15R jackpot gaming state B. FIG. 224 (C) is a timing chart of the first to fifteenth releases performed according to the execution table in the 15R big hit gaming state C.

  As shown in FIG. 222, in the 15R jackpot gaming states A to C, as the operation schedule of the big prize opening 2006, when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for the first to fifth times, the big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 In the sixth to thirty-time opening of the big prize opening 2006, the special prize opening 2006 is set to be opened for a long time (2 seconds). Further, as the operation schedule of the sorting piece 2433, when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for the first time to the fifth time, the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds). 0.2 second), and when the grand prize opening 2006 is opened for the sixth to thirty times, the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a long time (1 second) when the special prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (2 seconds). Is set.

  Also, in the 15R jackpot gaming state A, the first to fifth rounds of opening the grand prize opening 2006 are the first to fifth rounds, and the sixth to thirteenth opening of the big prize opening 2006 are the sixth round. The 14th to 21st opening times of the mouth 2006 are set to be 7 to 14 rounds, respectively, and the 22nd to 30th opening times of the special prize opening 2006 are set to 15 rounds. Also, in the 15R jackpot gaming state B, the first to fourth rounds of opening the grand prize opening 2006 are the first to fourth rounds, respectively, and the fifth to tenth opening of the big prize opening 2006 are the fifth round. The 11th opening of the mouth 2006 is the 6th round, the 12th to 22nd opening of the grand prize opening 2006 is the 7th round, and the 23rd to 30th opening of the grand prize opening 2006 is the 8th to 15th round respectively. It is set to be an eye. In the 15R jackpot gaming state C, the first to fourth rounds of the grand prize opening 2006 are designated as the first to fourth rounds, respectively, and the fifth to thirteenth rounds of the grand prize opening 2006 are designated as the fifth round. It is set so that the 14th to 21st opening of the mouth 2006 is the 6th round, and the 22nd to 30th opening of the special winning opening 2006 is the 7th to 15th round, respectively.

  In the second embodiment, as the state setting schedule of the second receiving port 2432, in the 6th and 15th rounds in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, a special state (by receiving a game ball in the second receiving port 2432) It is set to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished), but in the number of rounds excluding the sixth and fifteenth rounds, a non-special state (the game ball in the second receiving port 2432) Even if accepted, it is set to a state in which control is not performed to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. That is, in the 15R big hit gaming state A, a special state is set when the grand prize winning opening 2006 is opened at the sixth to thirteenth times and at the 22nd to thirtyth time. Further, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, a special state is set when the big winning opening 2006 is opened for the 11th time and 30th time. Further, in the 15R big hit gaming state C, a special state is set when the special winning opening 2006 is opened for the 14th to 21st times and the 30th time.

  In addition, in the 15R big hit gaming state A, when the big winning opening 2006 is opened 30 times, the special state (after the big hit gaming state is ended by accepting the game ball at the second receiving port 2432). A state that is to be controlled to a high probability state). Further, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, a special state is set when the total winning opening 2006 is opened twice in total during 30 opening. Further, in the 15R big hit gaming state C, the special state is set when the total winning opening 2006 is opened a total of 9 times. Therefore, in 15R big hit gaming state A to 15R big hit gaming states A to C, since the number of times of opening set to the special state is the largest, the probability that the game ball is accepted into the second receiving port 2432 during the special state Is the highest, and the probability of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state is the highest. On the other hand, in the 15R big hit gaming state A to C among the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, since the number of times of opening set in the special state is the smallest, there is a probability that the game ball will be received in the second receiving port 2432 during the special state. It is the lowest, and the probability of controlling to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state is the lowest.

  As shown in FIGS. 223 (A), (B) and 128 (C), in the 15R big hit game state A to C, the grand prize opening 2006 is opened 30 times as the 1st to 15th rounds. The opening time, the number of opening times, and the opening timing in 2006 are all the same. Further, in the 15R jackpot gaming states A to C, the number of times the big winning opening 2006 is opened in each of the 1st to 15th rounds is different, but the number of rounds being executed is not notified to the player. In this way, in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, as the whole of the first to fifteenth rounds, the opening pattern of the big prize opening 2006 is made the same, and the operation pattern of the distribution piece 2433 (the operation time of the distribution piece 2433) And the operation timing are also the same, so that the player cannot determine which of the 15R big hit gaming states A to C.

  In the second embodiment, all of the 15R jackpot gaming states A to C are only opened for a short time (0.5 seconds) when the first winning opening 2006 is opened for the first time to the fifth time. It is extremely difficult to be accepted, and since only the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a short time (0.2 seconds) during the period in which the big prize opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), the big prize opening 2006 It is extremely difficult to distribute (accept) the game balls received in the second receiving port 2432.

  In the second embodiment, any of the 15R big hit gaming states A to C are opened for a long time (2 seconds) when the grand prize opening 2006 is opened for the sixth to thirty times, so that a game ball is received at the big prize opening 2006. In addition, since the sorting piece 2433 is operated for a long time (1 second) during a period in which the grand prize opening 2006 is opened for a long time (2 seconds), the game balls received in the big prize opening 2006 are It is easy to be distributed (accepted) to the second receiving port 2432. However, in the 15R big hit gaming state A, when the sixth winning thru 13th opening (6th round) and the 22nd to 30th opening (15th round) in the 15R big hit gaming state A, in the 15R big hit gaming state B, the big winning When the 11th opening of the mouth 2006 (6th round) and the 30th opening (15th round), in the 15R big hit gaming state C, when the 14th to 21st opening of the grand prize winning opening 2006 (6th round) And at the time of the 30th release (15th round), it is set to a special state (a state in which a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 and is controlled to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state is finished). Yes. In this way, in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, the grand prize opening 2006 is opened 30 times as the 1st to 15th rounds, and the special state is set in the 6th and 15th rounds. Among the opening times of the first prize opening 2006, the opening time set in a special state (how many times it is opened) is different. More specifically, among the 1st to 30th opening of the grand prize opening 2006, the opening time of the opening period set in the special state (how many times the opening is set to the special state), the special state The end time of the opening period set in (how many times the opening of the special state will end), the number of opening times set in the special state (how many times out of 1 to 30 opening times) Is it set to a special state)? In addition, the player is not notified of how many rounds the grand prize winning opening 2006 is open, and whether it is set in a special state or a non-special state. For this reason, even when the game balls received at the grand prize opening 2006 are distributed (accepted) to the second entrance 2432 when the big prize opening 2006 is opened, the high probability state is controlled after the big hit gaming state is finished. It is difficult for the player to determine whether to control or not to control to a high probability state.

  In the second embodiment, a special state based on any of the 15R big hit gaming states A to C (in the second receiving port 2432) at any opening of the 6th to 30th opening of the special winning opening 2006. When a game ball is accepted, a state in which a high probability state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state is set. In addition, the player is not notified of how many rounds the grand prize winning opening 2006 is open, and whether it is set in a special state or a non-special state. For this reason, among the 6th to 30th opening of the grand prize winning opening 2006, the opening time when the game balls accepted by the big winning prize opening 2006 are distributed (accepted) to the second receiving opening 2432 is any opening. However, since there is a possibility of controlling to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends, the player is notified whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends. Until then, the game can be continued with the expectation of a high probability state. In addition, among the opening times of the 6th to 30th times of the grand prize winning opening 2006, the opening time when the game balls received in the big winning prize opening 2006 are distributed (accepted) to the second receiving opening 2432 is any opening time. Even if there is a possibility that after the end of the big hit gaming state, there is a possibility that it will not be controlled to a high probability state, so until the 6th to 30th opening of the big winning opening 2006 ends, It is possible to continue the game as to whether or not the game ball is distributed (accepted) to the receiving port 2432.

  Next, a specific effect example at the time of execution of the 15R jackpot gaming states A to C in the effect display device 1600 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, at least at the 15R jackpot gaming states A to C, when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for the first to fifth times and when the sixth to thirty times are opened, the presentation display device 1600 has a common effect. To do.

  First, the effect display apparatus 1600 starts the left / middle / right decorative symbol variation display based on the determination result notification command and variation pattern command received by the peripheral control board 1510, and the left ornament symbol → right ornament symbol → middle Display control is performed so as to stop display in the order of decorative symbols, but as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of stoppage of decorative symbol variation, 15R big hit A out of big hits related to the first special symbol from the received determination result notification command Is determined as 15R big hit A symbol (combination of the same decorative symbols), and when 15R big hit B is specified, it is decided as 15R big hit B symbol (common with 15R big hit A symbol) and 15R big hit C Is determined as 15R big hit C symbol (common with 15R big hit A symbol), and when the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern command has elapsed (reach) The determined stop symbols at the output at the end) to the effect display device 1600 is configured to display control. In this way, even when any of 15R big hits A to C is determined, by controlling display of a common stop symbol as a stop symbol of the decoration symbol on the effect display device 1600, 15R big hit A from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol Any of ~ C cannot be determined.

  Next, until the standby time until the jackpot gaming state set in the interval timer is started in the process of step S190 described above, the 6th to 30th release of the 15R jackpot gaming states A to C The explanation effect which explains the game method in is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 225 (A), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “If V passes while the V attacker is open, it may change!”. Accordingly, when a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 while the grand prize winning opening 2006 is opened, the player is given a chance of controlling to a high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state. Can understand.

  Next, at the time of opening the first winning opening 2006 in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, the countdown effect is performed to count down the waiting time until the 6th to 30th opening is started. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 225 (B), in the effect display device 1600, a message “Countdown!” Is notified to the player, and “5” is displayed as time passes in the center of the screen. , “4”, “3”, “2”, “1”, and the player is notified of the waiting time until the 6 th to 30 th opening is started. In addition, as described above, when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for the first time to the fifth time, since it is only opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), it is extremely difficult to receive the game ball in the big prize opening 2006, Furthermore, since the sorting piece 2433 is only operated for a short time (0.2 seconds) during the period in which the special winning opening 2006 is opened for a short time (0.5 seconds), the game balls received in the big winning opening 2006 are second. It is extremely difficult to be distributed (accepted) to the receiving port 2432. For this reason, when the first prize opening 2006 is opened for the first to fifth times, the expectation for entering the game balls to the big prize opening 2006 and the second receiving opening 2432 tends to be reduced, but by executing the countdown effect Then, the expectation for the 6th to 30th opening of the grand prize opening 2006 started thereafter is expected, and the expectation for the game balls to enter the big prize opening 2006 and the second receiving port 2432 is not reduced. Yes.

  Next, at the time of opening the 6th to 30th times of the big winning opening 2006 in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, when the second receiving port 2432 is opened so that the game balls are received by the second receiving port 2432 (the sorting piece 2433). The target instruction effect indicating that the target should be aimed) is executed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 225 (D), the effect display device 1600 notifies the player of the message “Chance Mode! Aim for Coco!” To the prize winning port 2006 and the second receiving port 2432. In addition, an image showing the location of the second receiving port 2432 that the player should aim at is displayed together with an image of the attacker unit 2400 including the sorting piece 2433 and the like. Thereby, in order for the game ball to be received by the second receiving port 2432 while the special winning opening 2006 is opened, it is possible to clearly know where on the game area 5a should be aimed. In addition, at the time of the 6th to 30th opening of the big winning opening 2006 in the 15R big hit game states A to C, every time a game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432 within the period of either the special state or the non-special state, A V-passing effect indicating that the game ball has been received at the second receiving port 2432 is executed. In this V-passing effect, the message “V passing!” Is notified to the player on the effect display device 1600, as in the image shown in FIG. 211 (C). Thereby, for example, even when the player misses whether or not the game ball is actually received at the second receiving port 2432, it is clearly known that the game ball has been received at the second receiving port 2432. It is possible to increase the expectation that the high probability state will be controlled after the big hit gaming state ends.

  In the second embodiment, when the 1st to 30th opening of the big winning opening 2006 in the 15R big hit gaming states A to C, that is, until the total number of rounds is exhausted, Even if a game ball is received at the entrance 2432, it is not possible to determine whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the jackpot gaming state ends. After completion, it is possible to determine whether to control to a high probability state (controlled) or not to control to a high probability state (not controlled). For example, at the end of the 15th round of 15R jackpot game states A to C (before and after the end), the player is notified whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the jackpot game state ends. , 15R Big hit game state after the end of the game state A ~ C, after the change of several to several tens of fluctuations as a special symbol change display is made, whether the game is controlled to a high probability state or not controlled to a high probability state Or notify the person. Of these, even after the completion of 15R jackpot gaming states A to C, in the case where it is hidden whether it is controlled to a high probability state or not controlled to a high probability state, it may be controlled to a high probability state. The game can be continued with the expectation that it is not known.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, by setting either the special state or the non-special state during the sixth or later opening of the grand prize winning opening 2006 having the second receiving port 2432, the second receiving port 2432 can be set. Even if the game ball is accepted (distributed), it becomes difficult for the player to determine whether to control to a high probability state or not to control to a high probability state after the big hit gaming state. Thus, as in the first embodiment, even if a game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432, the player is not given a sense of security and is controlled to a high probability state or not controlled to a high probability state. It is possible to continue the big hit game while giving the player a sense of expectation and tension.

  Moreover, according to 2nd embodiment, in addition to the various effects obtained by 1st embodiment, there can exist the following effects. That is, “while the second winning opening 2432 is opened a plurality of times, the gaming balls can be received as many as possible by opening the large winning opening 2006. In addition, when the game ball is received in the second receiving port 2432, it is possible to realize a game characteristic that “the possibility of giving a profit (giving a high probability state) increases”. In more detail, “If a game ball is received at the second receiving opening 2432 in all of the multiple opening of the big winning opening 2006, a profit is surely given (providing a sense of security), while a large winning opening is provided. As the number of times the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 decreases among the plurality of times of opening in 2006, the possibility of giving a profit decreases (as the number of times the game ball is received at the second receiving port 2432 increases). Give a sense of anticipation) ”. With such game characteristics, it is possible to add a new interesting feature that makes the player pay attention to the “number of times the game ball has been received at the second receiving port 2432” compared to the conventional game.
