Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally referred to as a "pachinko machine").

  In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, an elongated illegal tool such as a piano wire is made to penetrate into the gaming area from the gap between the main frame and the door frame to malfunction the sensor that detects the reception of gaming media to the receiving port , There was a problem that cheating acts such as bending a nail nailed in the game area. To address this problem, an elastically deformable plate-like guide is provided between a pair of hinge mechanisms that support the door frame so as to open and close, and a crowbar or the like is inserted between the door frame and the main body frame to form a gap. Even if it is going to expand, what was made to make it impossible to insert an irregular tool by covering a crevice with a guide part which carries out elastic deformation is proposed (for example, patent documents 1).

On the other hand, the connecting member 14 connecting the lower frame plate 11 and the left side frame plate 12 and the connecting member 14 connecting the lower frame plate 11 and the right side frame plate 13 are respectively formed in symmetrical shapes. It is done.

  In the connecting member 14, the upper surface and the lower surface of the horizontal piece 17 abut on the lower surface and the upper surface of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and the engagement piece 19 is an engagement notch of the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11. The upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame are inserted into and engaged with the portion 15 by screwing predetermined screws into the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 through the horizontal piece 17 and the engagement piece 19. It is fixed to the plate 11. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 penetrates the side frame plates 12 and 13 in a state where the vertical piece 18 abuts on the upper inner side surface of the side frame plates 12 and 13 and a predetermined screw The upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected by being screwed into the vertical piece 18. The rear vertical piece 18 of the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 is fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13 in a state of being inserted into the projecting portion 16 of the side frame plates 12 and 13. It is supposed to be. Furthermore, the connecting member 14 fixed to the lower frame plate 11 penetrates the side frame plates 12 and 13 in a state where the vertical piece 18 abuts on the lower inner side surface of the side frame plates 12 and 13 and a predetermined screw The lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected by being screwed into the vertical piece 18, and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 can be connected by the four connecting members 14. , And the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be assembled in a frame shape.

  The outer frame 2 of this example is disposed to face the upper support fitting 20 fixed to the upper surface of the left end of the upper frame plate 10 and the upper support fitting 20 and fixed at a predetermined position inside the lower side frame 12 of the left side. Fixed on the front surface of the reinforcing bracket 22 and the reinforcing bracket 22 disposed so as to support the lower surface of the lower supporting bracket 21 and fixed so as to connect the left and right side frame plates 12 and 13. And a decorative cover 23. The upper support fitting 20 and the lower support fitting 21 are for pivotally supporting the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 so as to be able to open and close.

  First, the upper support fitting 20 includes a plate-like fixed piece 20a fixed to the upper frame plate 10, a support projection piece 20b projecting forward from the front end of the fixed piece 20a than the front end of the upper frame plate 10, and a support protrusion Support rod hole 20c notched to be bent from the right end near the front end in the piece 20b toward the center of the tip, and the left side frame hanging downward from the left end of the fixed piece 20a and the support protruding piece 20b A plate-like hanging fixing piece 20d (see FIG. 14A) in contact with the outer side surface of the plate 12 and a hanging wall 20e continuous with the hanging fixing piece 20d and hanging along the outer edge of the support protruding piece 20b (figure 14 and a stop drop 20f (see FIG. 15) which is continuous with the drop wall 20e and sloped inward at the inlet end of the support well 20c. A pivot pin 633 (see FIG. 67) of an upper pivot support 630 of the main body frame 3 described later is detachably engaged with the support hook 20c of the upper support fitting 20. Further, the upper support fitting 20 is configured such that the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 can be connected by the fixed piece 20a and the depending fixed piece 20d.

  The upper support fitting 20 has the strength of the support protrusion 20b enhanced by the depending wall 20e depending from the outer edge of the support protrusion 20b, and the details will be described later, but when viewed from the front, the support protrusion 20b The lock member 27 disposed on the back of the cover can be concealed so as not to be visible from the player side, and the appearance of the lock can be improved. In addition, the support hook 20c formed in the support projection 20b is bent in a V shape so as to be inclined from the side on the opposite side (right side) where the hanging wall 20e is not formed (right side) toward the center of the tip. In addition, the width dimension of the inclined hole portion of the support weir 20c is slightly larger than the diameter of the pivot pin 633.

  On the other hand, the lower support fitting 21 includes a horizontal fixing piece 21a mounted on and fixed to the reinforcing metal fitting 22, and a vertical fixing piece rising upward from the left end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a and fixed to the inner side surface of the left side frame plate 12. 21b, a plate-like support projection 21c projecting forward from the front end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a beyond the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and a pin shape projecting upward from near the front end of the support projection 21c. And the support protrusion 21d. A main body frame support formed on a main body frame support bracket 644 (see FIG. 70 and the like) of the main body frame 3 described later is inserted into the support projection 21 d of the lower support fitting 21. After inserting the support projection 21 d of the support fitting 21 into the support hole of the main body frame support bracket 644 in the main body frame 3, the support pin 633 of the upper support bracket 630 of the main body frame 3 is locked to the support hook hole 20 c Thus, the main body frame 3 can be pivotally supported in an openable and closable manner.

  Further, in the outer frame 2 of the present embodiment, as shown in the drawing, two closing plates 24 and 25 arranged at a predetermined distance apart in the vertical direction are attached and fixed inside the side frame plate 13 on the right side. The closing plates 24 and 25 are formed in a substantially L shape in plan view, and the closing plate 25 disposed on the lower side has a rectangular opening 25 a penetrating in the front-rear direction (see FIG. See 9). The closing plates 24 and 25 are hook portions 1054 and 1065 (see FIG. 97) of the lock device 1000 attached along the open side of the body frame 3 when the body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. As described in detail later, by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the lock device 1000 and rotating it to one side, the engagement between the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 is released. The main body frame 3 can be opened relative to the outer frame 2.

  Furthermore, the outer frame 2 of the present example further includes a guide plate 26 fixed to the upper surface of the right end of the reinforcement fitting 22. The guide plate 26 guides the main body frame 3 smoothly when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and is exchangeably mounted and fixed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, the outer frame 2 of the present example further includes a lock member 27 supported on the back surface of the support protrusion 20b of the upper support fitting 20, and the rivet 28 supports the support protrusion 20b. It is pivotally supported rotatably. The lock member 27 is made of synthetic resin and is shorter than the stopper portion 27a in the right direction from the stopper portion 27a protruding forward from the position supported by the rivet 28 and the position supported by the rivet 28 The operating portion 27b which protrudes, the elastic piece 27c which protrudes from the opposite side to the position supported by the rivet 28 with respect to the operating portion 27b, and the front end of the stopper portion 27a And an arc-shaped end surface 27d. As shown in the figure, the lock member 27 is formed in a substantially L shape by the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b. Further, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is formed to have a narrower width than the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b, and is formed so as to extend forward as moving away from the stopper portion 27a to the left.

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

  In the support mechanism of the pivot support pin 633 using the upper support fitting 20 and the lock member 27 in this example, the pivot support pin 633 is inserted into the end space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c and the stopper portion 27a In the state where the front end side is opposed to the stop drooping portion 20f of the inlet end (in this state, there is a slight gap between the front end side of the stopper portion 27a and the stop drooping portion 20f and the state is in contact) In the usual pivotally supported state, the support pin 633 positioned in the end space portion of the inclined hole of the support hole 20c formed by bending and the end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a The centers are shifted in the diagonal direction and opposed to each other. And, in this normal support state, the support pin 633 supporting the heavy main body frame 3 is in a state of being in contact with the front end portion of the support hook hole 20 c. Since the load on the tip end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is hardly applied, the load is not applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27. Since the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is provided with an arc-shaped distal end surface 27d, when the operation portion 27b is turned to turn the lock member 27, the lock member 27 can be smoothly turned. It has become. Further, in the drawing, the arc center of the tip end surface 27d is taken as the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the pivotal support pin 633 is pulled out along the inclination of the inclined hole of the support weir 20c and abuts on the circular arc tip surface 27d, the operative force F is supported A component force F1 (a normal direction of the arc of the end surface 27d) acting on the contact portion between the pin 633 and the arc-shaped end surface 27d, and one side of an inclined hole of the pivot pin 633 and the support hook 20c When divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact part with the inner surface, the direction of the component force F1 faces the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27). The moment to turn the tip in a direction (clockwise direction in the figure) in which the tip end separates from the support projecting piece 20b does not work, and the pivot pin 633 is the tip of the stopper 27a of the lock member 27 and the inclined hole Maintain the state of being held between To. Therefore, even in the normal shaft support state or in the state where the acting force of the shaft support pin 633 is applied to the lock member 27, no load is always applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 and elasticity formed integrally by synthetic resin It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the piece 27c, and to prevent the shaft support pin 633 from coming off from the support hole 20c for a long period of time. Even if the end of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 is rotated in a direction (clockwise direction in the figure) that is released from the support projecting piece 20b by applying an unreasonable force, one side of the end of the stopper portion 27a Since it does not rotate in the direction in which it abuts on the stop hanging portion 20f and disengages further, the lock member 27 does not protrude outside the support projecting piece 20b.

  In addition, even if the shape of the tip end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is not arc-shaped, the position where the rotational moment is not generated by the action of the component force F1 described above or the tip of the lock member 27 faces the outside of the support protruding piece 20b. By placing the rotation center of the lock member 27 (the shaft fixed by the rivet 28) at a position where a rotational moment to rotate is generated, no load is always applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 as well. Since the tip end side of the stopper portion 27a just contacts the stop hanging portion 20f even when the member 27 rotates, the applicant of the present invention has a point that the lock member 27 does not protrude outside the support projecting piece 20b. I have confirmed.

  The operation of the lock member 27 of this embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As a premise for supporting the main frame 3 to the outer frame 2 so as to be able to open and close, lower support brackets in main frame support holes (not shown) formed in the main frame support bracket 644 (see FIG. 67) of the main frame 3 It is necessary that 21 support protrusions 21d be inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support bracket 630 of the main body frame 3 is pressed into contact with the side surface of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27. As shown in FIG. 16 (B), since the lock member 27 rotates in the counterclockwise direction while deforming the elastic piece 27c, the pivot pin 633 can be inserted into the support hook 20c. Then, when the pivotal support pin 633 reaches the head space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support wedging hole 20c, as shown in FIG. 16 (C), the pivotal support pin 633 does not abut the tip side surface of the stopper portion 27a Therefore, the lock member 27 is urged by the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c to rotate clockwise, and the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 returns to the normal state again to close the inlet portion of the support weir 20c. The tip end portion of the stopper portion 27a faces the pivoting pin 633 so that the pivoting pin 633 does not fall out of the support hook 20c.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 16 (D), this state is held even when the main body frame 3 is completely closed or during the normal opening / closing operation of the main body frame 3. Then, in order to remove the pivot pin 633 from the support hook 20c, as shown in FIG. 16E, a finger is inserted into the back surface of the support projection 20b to turn the operation portion 27b of the lock member 27 counterclockwise. By the rotation, the lock member 27 is rotated against the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c, and the tip end portion of the stopper portion 27a is in a state of being retracted from the support wedge hole 20c. It can be removed from the hole 20c. Thereafter, the main frame 3 is lifted by lifting the main frame support hole formed in the main frame support bracket 644 and the support projection 21 d of the lower support bracket 21 to thereby release the main frame 3 into the outer frame 2. Can be removed from the

  As described above, in the outer frame 2 of this example, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 constituting the outer frame of the outer frame 2 are made of wood as in the prior art, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of lightweight metal ( For example, since it is an extrusion type material of aluminum alloy), when installing the pachinko machine 1 in an island facility arranged in a row, it is necessary to perform an operation of fixing at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical surface of the island Although such work is carried out by nailing the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, the nail can be made easy to strike, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily installed in the existing island facility. It can be installed. Further, since the side frame plates 12 and 13 are formed of a lightweight metal (for example, aluminum alloy) as an extrusion-shaped material, it becomes possible to form a thinner wall while maintaining the strength as compared with the conventional wooden outer frame, When viewed from the front of the peripheral wall portion 605 (see FIG. 67 etc.) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the inner side of the side frame boards 12 and 13, the lateral width can be widened. Can be attached to the main unit frame 3, and at the same time, the game area 1100 of the game board 4 can be formed large.

  The upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 constituting the outer frame of the outer frame 2 are connected by the connecting member 14, and the connecting member 14 is of the side frame plates 12 and 13. Since it is fixed in close contact with the inner surface and fixed in a state in which the connecting member 14 and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are engaged, the assembly strength of the outer frame 2 can be increased. It is possible to make it a square shaped framework. Further, after the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are connected by the connecting member 14, when the upper support fitting 20 is attached at a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. Since there is no member projecting outward from the outer surface (peripheral surface) of the frame plate 10, 11, 12, 13, when installing the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility of the game hall not shown, adjacent devices (for example, It can be attached closely with the adjacent ball lending machine).

The crime prevention member 121 is formed in a shallow box shape in which the front side is opened by bending a metal plate. Thereby, in order to cheat the inside of the pachinko machine 1, for example, it is possible to make a hole by a thin drill or the like from the joining portion between the side decoration unit 200, 240 and the dish unit 300 as metal. It can be blocked by the crime prevention member 121, so that it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts.

  Further, although the pair of side speakers 130 in the door frame base unit 100 is not shown in detail, the intersection of the central axes thereof is a predetermined distance (for example, 0.2 m to 1) forward from the center of the game area 1100 in front view It is obliquely fixed so as to be at the position of 5 m), and the sound can be most efficiently delivered to the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1. Further, the side speakers 130 are mainly configured to output middle-to-high range sounds, and are disposed at positions separated as far as possible from the pachinko machine 1 in the left-right direction. By outputting different related sounds from the side speakers 130, it is possible to output sounds with high stereo feeling.

  These side speakers 130 have their outer peripheries sandwiched by a substantially annular speaker bracket 132 disposed on the front side and the speaker attachment portion 111 of the door frame base main body 110 disposed on the rear side. It can be attached to the base body 110. The speaker bracket 132 is attached to the mounting boss 110g of the door frame base main body 110 from the front side by a predetermined screw.

  In addition, the door frame base substrate cover 195 in the door frame base unit 100 is formed in a thin box shape whose front side is opened as shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 27 and the like. It has a step 195a recessed forward at a position slightly lower than the center of the. The wire holding member 197 is rotatably attached to the step portion 195 a of the door frame base substrate cover 195.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 etc., the wire holding member 197 in the door frame base unit 100 is formed in a plate shape elongated in the lateral direction, and the cross section is formed in an I shape. It is formed of a relatively hard synthetic resin. Further, as shown, the wiring holding member 197 is provided with a plurality of holding holes 197a (three each in the upper and lower sides in this example) at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction at the upper and lower ends. The wire holding member 197 has the end portion on which the door frame 5 is pivotally supported by the main body frame 3 in the assembled state of the door frame 5 in the vertical direction at the step portion 195 a on the rear surface of the door frame base substrate cover 195. It is pivotally supported around the extended axis, and although the detailed illustration is omitted, the free end side of the wire holding member 197 is rotated toward the door frame base substrate cover 195 side, the wire holding member 197 is It can be accommodated in the step portion 195 a of the door frame base substrate cover 195.

  The wire holding member 197 has a wire 196 for electrically connecting the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 along the rear surface side, and a predetermined binding band is attached to the holding holes 197a paired in the upper and lower direction. The wiring 196 can be held by inserting the 198 and tightening the wiring 196 together with the wiring holding member 197 by the binding band 198 (see FIGS. 1 and 28).

  When the wiring holding member 197 of this example is rotated in the direction to close the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 extends from the free end side of the wiring 196 to the main body frame 3 As a result, it is pushed forward and pivots in a direction approaching the door frame base substrate cover 195 side. Thus, as the door frame 5 is closed, the free end of the wire holding member 197 approaches the door frame base substrate cover 195, and the wire 196 extending from the free end of the wire holding member 197 to the main frame 3 is free. The bend becomes large (sharp) in the vicinity. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the wiring 196 is folded in two in the lateral direction on the free end side of the wiring holding member 197.

  On the other hand, when the door frame 5 closed with respect to the main body frame 3 is opened, since the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 are relatively distant from each other, wiring is held by the wiring 196 connected to the main body frame 3 side. The free end side of the member 197 is pulled backward, and the wiring holding member 197 rotates smoothly so that the free end side moves in the direction of moving away from the door frame base substrate cover 195 (the direction of the main body frame 3). As a result, the folded wire 196 on the free end side of the wire holding member 197 is expanded so as to extend straight, and the door frame 5 can be opened without being obstructed by the wire 196.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the end of the wire holding member 197 on the same side as the side on which the door frame 5 is pivotally supported is moved by the door frame base substrate cover 195 so that the free end moves to the main body frame 3 side. As it is pivotally supported on the rear surface and is held so that a part of the wiring 196 electrically connecting the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 does not move in the vertical direction, On the other hand, when opening and closing the door frame 5, the wire 196 can be folded or unfolded in the lateral direction on the free end side of the wire holding member 197, and the wire 196 is caught or pinched when the door frame 5 is opened or closed. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems (breaks in the wiring 196, disconnection of the connection connector, etc.).

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the wire holding member 197 is formed of a relatively hard and highly rigid synthetic resin, the upper and lower sides of the door frame 5 may be opened and closed even if a force is applied through the wire 196. It is possible to make it difficult to move in the direction, and the wiring 196 can be reliably folded in the lateral direction to prevent occurrence of a defect.

  Further, as described above, when the door frame 5 is opened and closed with respect to the main body frame 3, a bridge is put between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 by the wiring holding member 197. Since a part is bridged by the wire holding member 197, it is possible to prevent the wire 196 from hanging down even if the door frame 5 is opened and closed. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a problem that the door frame 5 can not be closed, or the main control board 4100 as the main body side electric device, the peripheral control unit 4140, the payout control board 4110, etc. Respective decoration boards 214, 216, 254, 256, 288, 290, 322, 430, 432 as electric devices, speakers 130, 222, 262, ball lending units 360, Bundle 500, etc., capital can provide pachinko machine 1 capable of malfunction in the wiring 196 to be connected to reduce the occurrence as much as possible.

  Further, a part of the wiring 196 is held by the rotatable wiring holding member 197, and even when the wiring 196 is forcibly pulled when the door frame 5 is opened, the wiring holding member 197 rotates. Because the force can be released at the same time, it is possible to prevent the wire 196 from being pulled and to prevent the occurrence of a failure such as disconnection of the wire 196 or disconnection of the connection connector. it can. In addition, since a part of the wiring 196 is held by the wiring holding member 197 and the wiring 196 is only partially bent as the wiring holding member 197 rotates, the conventional one (for example, JP 2009-213675 A) And the wiring 196 does not slide, and the wiring 196 can be prevented from being rubbed to cause a fault such as an electric leakage or a disconnection.

  Further, in the wiring holding member 197, the binding band 198 is inserted into the penetrating holding holes 197a arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the wiring 196 is held by the binding band 198. The holding band 197 can prevent the holding band 197 from moving (sliding) in the longitudinal direction of the wiring holding member 197 by the holding hole 197a, and surely prevent the wiring 196 from falling off together with the binding band 198 from the wiring holding member 197 can do.

  Further, even if the position where the wire 196 extends from the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is arranged at a position separated from the side supporting the door frame 5, as described above, the wire 196 can be Since the wire 196 can be favorably prevented from hanging down when opening and closing the door frame 5 by guiding (guiding), the body frame 3 in which the strength and rigidity of the pivotally supported side of the door frame 5 are enhanced.

The indirect light reflected on the front surface of the lens portion 250 a and the inner decoration member 251 is respectively irradiated to the shifted position. Further, the light passing through the slit 251 a of the inner decorative member 251 is diffused in a stripe shape in the extending direction of the slit 251 a by the diffusion portion 252 a formed by the plurality of strip lenses in the side inner lens 252 and intersected. It is diffused in the (substantially orthogonal) direction. Therefore, the peripheral lens portion 250a of the side lens 250 is longer than the width of the slit 251a, extends in a direction intersecting the direction in which the slit 251a extends, and is irradiated (projected) with a plurality of stripes of light of different shading. It is possible to make a fantastic luminous decoration with a sense of perspective (see FIG. 36).

In the state, the lower surface of the operation unit 400 (lower cover 424) is attached in a state (for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm) slightly floating above the upper surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c. The cover main body 426 is elastically deformed when it is pressed or struck, so that the impact can be alleviated.

  In the operation unit 400, with the inner cover 427 and the front cover 428 removed, the fixing portion 426b of the cover main body 426 is attached to the operation unit attachment portion 314c of the pan unit 300 with a predetermined screw, and then An inner cover 427 and a surface cover 428 are attached to the upper surface of the cover main body 426.

  In the operation unit 400 according to the present embodiment, the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410, which rotates with the dial operation unit 401, has a circumferential length in the slit between adjacent rotation detection pieces 410c and a circumference of the rotation detection piece 410c. The lengths of the directions are the same. Further, in the pair of rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b attached to the button decoration substrate 432, the distance in the circumferential direction corresponding to the dial operation portion 401 is 2.5 times the length in the circumferential direction of the rotation detection piece 410c. It is assumed. Thereby, although the details will be described later, when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401, a time lag occurs in detection / non-detection of the rotation detection piece 410c by the pair of rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, and each rotation detection It is possible to detect in which direction the dial operation unit 401 is rotated from the detection pattern of the rotation detection piece 410c by the sensors 432a and 432b.

  Further, although the operation unit 400 of this example will be described in detail later, the dial operation unit 401 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414. . In addition, the operation unit 400 rotates the dial operation unit 401 in a stepwise manner by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414 using a stepping motor, or when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401. It is possible to assist rotation, to prevent it from turning intentionally, and to add a sense of click to the rotation. Furthermore, the operation unit 400 can vibrate the dial operation unit 401 by repeating the forward and reverse rotations of the dial drive motor 414 little by little.

  Further, in the operation unit 400 of this example, as shown in FIG. 50, when the pressing operation portion 405 is pressed downward, the step portion 407a of the button cap 407 abuts on the projecting portion 401f of the dial operation portion 401, and the button cap As 407 (pressing operation part 405) can not be further inserted into the inner cylinder part 401a, the load applied to the pressing operation part 405 is dialed through the step part 407a and the projecting part 401f. It can be dispersed to the operation unit 401 side, and the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400) is not easily broken.

  Furthermore, in the operation unit 400 of this example, with the step portion 407a of the button cap 407 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation portion 401 in contact with each other by pressing the pressing operation portion 405 By repeating the rotation and reverse rotation, it is possible to vibrate the pressing operation unit 405 as well as the dial operation unit 401, and it is possible to surprise the player by the vibration of the pressing operation unit 405 and enjoy the game and the effect. It has become.

  According to the operation unit 400 of this example, the dial operation unit 401 that can be rotated and operated by the player and the pressing operation unit 405 that can be operated by pressing are supported by the metal base member 420. Since the strength can be increased, it is possible to prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged even if the player etc. hit the operation unit 401 or 405 strongly, and the operation unit 401 or 405 can be freely made to the player. While being able to operate it, it is possible to improve the operability of the operation units 401 and 405, and enjoy the effects using the operation units 401 and 405 to suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game it can.

  In addition, the pressing operation unit 405 is disposed at the center of the annular dial operation unit 401. If the pressing operation unit 405 is to be strongly hit, the dial operation unit 401 is also likely to be hit, and the operation unit The force of tapping 401 and 405 can be dispersed to the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405, and concentration of impacted impact can be suppressed to prevent damage to the operation unit 400 and the tray unit 300. Therefore, the operation units 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 can withstand the smashing, and the player can freely operate the operation units 401 and 405. While being able to improve the operability of 405, it is possible to enjoy the effects using the operation units 401 and 405, and to suppress the decrease in the interest for the game Door can be.

  Further, the base member 420 and the like of the operation unit 400 are accommodated in the depressed operation unit attachment portion 314c of the pan unit 300, and a predetermined amount of clearance is formed between the lower end of the base member 420 and the bottom surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c. When the cover main body 426 attached to the base member 420 is fixed to the upper surface of the plate unit 300 so that the operation parts 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 are hit to apply an impact or load, The impact and load can be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the cover main body 426 until the lower end of the operation unit 400 abuts on the bottom surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c, and the lower end of the operation unit 400 and the bottom surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c After contact, the bottom of the operation unit attachment portion 314c (dish unit 300) Since it is possible to receive the weight, it is possible to disperse the impact and the like from the operation unit 401 and 405 and to avoid the concentration of the impact and the like, so that the impact resistance and load resistance of the operation unit 400 and the pan unit 300 can be reduced. It can be enhanced.

  Furthermore, the base member 420 is provided with a plurality of legs 420e that project downward to a position away from the position supporting the operation parts 401 and 405, and the legs 420e of the base member 420 are the operation units in the tray unit 300. Since the leg 420e is not disposed immediately below the impact even when an impact from the operation portion 401 or 405 is applied to the base member 420 in contact with the bottom surface of the attachment portion 314c, the operation portion 401 or 405 of the base member 420 is The portion supporting the support is flexed by the impact, and the base member 420 is flexed (elastically deformed), so that the impact from the operation portions 401 and 405 can be absorbed to some extent, and the base member 420 is applied to the dish unit 300 The impact can be reduced to prevent the dish unit 300 from being damaged.

  Further, the dial operation unit 401 is held by the operation unit holding member 416 attached to the base member 420 from the lower side so that a part of the dial operation unit 401 overlaps with the base member 420 in plan view. When the operation portion holding member 416 holding the dial operation portion 401 is removed from the base member 420 and moved downward when the operation portion 401 is smashed from the upper side, the dial operation portion 401 abuts on the upper surface of the base member 420 The downward movement of the dial operation unit 401 can be restricted by the base member 420, and depression of the dial operation unit 401 can be favorably prevented.

  Furthermore, since the dial operation unit 401 in which the pressing operation unit 405 is disposed at the center is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 according to the game state, the dial operation unit 401 rotates freely (rotational drive including vibration). Allows the player to be surprised and to pay attention to the effect by the operation unit 401, 405, and the player can be entertained, and the dial operation unit 401 is appropriately driven by the dial drive motor 414, whereby the dial operation unit It is possible to make it difficult to get bored by making the effect using the 401 (the pressing operation unit 405) more diverse, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 through the driven gear 410 and the drive gear 412, so that the position of the rotation shaft of the dial drive motor 414 can be Therefore, even if the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 is strongly struck, the impact is transmitted via the rotation shaft of the dial operation unit 401. Direct application to the dial drive motor 414 can be avoided, and damage to the dial drive motor 414 (operation unit 400) can be prevented.

  Furthermore, after making the opening 420a of the base member 420 smaller in diameter than the dial operation unit 401, the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the gear rail 416a of the operation unit holding member 416 through the opening 420a. Even if the gear rail 416a (the operation unit holding member 416) moves downward due to an impact or load from 401, the dial operation unit 401 can contact the upper surface of the opening 420a of the base member 420, and the dial operation unit 401 is the base member It is possible to reliably prevent the user from falling below 420. Further, since the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the annular gear rail 416a, the contact area between the dial operation unit 401 and the operation unit holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) can be increased. Thus, it is possible to disperse the impact and load from the rear side and prevent the operating portion holding member 416 from being damaged.

  Further, since the dial drive motor 414 for rotationally driving the dial operation unit 401 is attached to the metal base member 420, the dial operation unit 401 is frequently rotated and driven by the dial drive motor 414, or the dial drive motor 414 Even if the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped by the player despite the fact that it is rotationally driven by the above, even if the calorific value increases due to an excessive load on the dial drive motor 414, The heat generated from the dial drive motor 414 can be well dissipated and dissipated through the base member 420, so that problems with the dial drive motor 414 due to overheating can be prevented, and the dial drive motor 414 Be able to withstand high loads and Ri, it is possible to sufficiently embody the effect of the dial operation unit 401 using a dial drive motor 414 as described above, can be pachinko machine 1 to be entertained player.

  Furthermore, rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b for detecting the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 and a pressure detection sensor 432c for detecting the pressure of the pressure operation unit 405 are provided. The dial operation unit 401 and the pressure operation unit 405 are provided. Since it is possible to detect the rotation operation or the pressing operation of the player, it is possible to perform an effect according to the player's operation based on the detection signal, and one more for the player who operates the operation units 401 and 405. It is possible to provide a sensation that has a sense of bodily sensation, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game. Further, the dial decoration substrate 430 and the button decoration substrate 432 for emitting and decorating the operation units 401 and 405 can be provided, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be illuminated and decorated. By doing this, the player's interest can be attracted to the operation unit 401, 405, and the player can easily operate the operation unit 401, 405.

  In addition, since the step 407 a of the pressing operation unit 405 and the projecting portion 401 f of the dial operating unit 401 are in contact with each other when the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation unit 400 is pressed, the player presses the pressing operation unit 405. When the dial drive motor 414 causes the dial operation unit 401 to repeatedly rotate forward and reverse within a predetermined angle range and vibrates, the stepped portion 407a in contact with the projection 401f of the dial operation unit 401 is pressed. The pressing operation unit 405 can also be vibrated. Therefore, even without separately providing a vibrator or the like for vibrating the pressing operation unit 405, it is possible to give the player a feeling of operation for the pressing operation 405, so that the effect using the operation unit 400 is enjoyed It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the game. In addition, since the pressing operation unit 405 vibrates when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the player can be greatly surprised by the movement of the pressing operation unit 405 which was thought not to move by hand, which is good It is possible to make people think that there is something to be done, and it is possible to enhance the sense of expectation for the game and to suppress the decrease in interest. Therefore, unlike the conventional operation unit, the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 move freely, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the operation unit 400, and the player can participate in the effect using the operation unit 400. While being able to make it easy, it is possible to make the player operate the operation unit 400 positively, enjoy the operation of the dial operation part 401 of the operation unit 400 and the pressing operation part 405, and the interest to the game decreases Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the press operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 are in contact with each other when the press operation unit 405 is pressed, the force from the press operation unit 405 can be transmitted to the dial operation unit 401 side. This enables the load and impact applied to the pressure operation unit 405 to be dispersed to the side of the dial operation unit 401 even when the pressure operation unit 405 is strongly hit, and the load resistance and impact resistance to the pressure operation unit 405. Can be enhanced. Therefore, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is smashed, it is possible to prevent the pressing operation unit 405 from being broken, thereby avoiding interruption of the game due to the breakage of the pressing operation unit 405 (the operation unit 400). It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being reduced by the interruption of the game.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is supported so as to be rotatable only within a predetermined angle range around an axis extending in the vertical direction, and when the player presses the pressing operation unit 405, the dial is driven. Even when the dial operation unit 401 is driven to rotate by the motor 414, the pressing operation unit 405 can be prevented from rotating together with the dial operation unit 401. The respective roles of the unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be surely recognized, and it is possible to make it easy for the player to enjoy the effect using the operation unit 400 and guiding the player to the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 405. Therefore, the player can easily read the character "PUSH" from the player's side without turning or tilting greatly. It is possible to reliably recognize that the part 405 is intended to pressing.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 has a projecting portion 401 f that protrudes from the inner periphery of the inner cylinder portion 401 a toward the axial center, and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation unit 405 has a smaller diameter below a predetermined position in the vertical direction. In the upper end of the operation unit 400, the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion 401a of the dial operation unit 401 and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation unit 405 can be made as close as possible. As a result, the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be made as small as possible to improve the appearance and the inside of the operation unit 400 via the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405. It is possible to make it difficult for foreign matter such as dust and dirt to enter, and it is difficult for the dial operation unit 401 to rotate or for the pressing operation unit 405 to be difficult because of the intrusion of foreign matter. The occurrence of a problem it is possible to prevent that or Tsu.

  Furthermore, the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is formed in an annular shape, and when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, whichever direction in the circumferential direction with respect to the dial operation unit 401 Since it is possible to make contact even at a position, even if the pressure operation unit 405 is inclined and pressed (presses a position deviated to the outer periphery than the center of the pressure operation unit 405), it reliably contacts the dial operation unit 401 Thus, the rotary drive from the dial drive motor 414 can be reliably transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, since the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 contact in an annular shape, the load from the press operation unit 405 can be widely dispersed to the dial operation unit 401 side, and the load resistance to the press operation unit 405 Impact resistance can be further enhanced.

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

  Further, since the dial drive motor 414 of the operation unit 400 is a stepping motor capable of rotating in the forward and reverse directions, not only the dial operating unit 401 is simply rotated but also it is easily stopped at a predetermined position, The operation unit 400 (pachinko machine 1) that can be easily vibrated by repetition and can achieve the above-described effects can be embodied with certainty.

  In addition, since the operation unit 400 is supported by the dish unit 300 provided with the upper tray 301 for storing gaming balls, the strength and rigidity of the dish unit 300 is high in order to reliably store a large number of gaming balls. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently cope with a blow to the operation unit 400 (the pressing operation unit 405), and to make it easy to enjoy the effect using the operation unit 400.

[1-2 G. Handle device]
Next, the handle device 500 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 51 (A) is an exploded perspective view of the handle device in the door frame as viewed from the front, and (B) is an exploded perspective view of the handle device as viewed from the rear. The handle device 500 of this embodiment is, as shown in the drawing, on the handle bracket 140 attached to the front surface of the door frame base main body 110 in the door frame base unit 100 through the lower opening 330b of the lower tray side cover 330 in the tray unit 300. A handle base 502 fixed at a cylindrical shape and having a front end rounded in a direction perpendicular to the axis, a handle body 504 disposed on the front side of the handle base 502 rotatably relatively to the handle base 502, and a front surface of the handle body 504 And a front end cover 506 fixed to the handle base 502 and rotatably supporting the handle body 504 in cooperation with the handle base 502.

  In the handle device 500, the rear end and the front end are rotatably supported by the inner base 508 attached to the front of the handle base 502 on the rear side of the handle main body 504, and the inner base 508 and the front end cover 506 A shaft member 510 having a drive gear portion 510a on the outer periphery, a transmission gear 511 meshing with the drive gear portion 510a of the shaft member 510, and a detection shaft portion 512a rotatable integrally with the transmission gear 511 And a rotational position detection sensor 512 held between the inner base 508 and the handle base 502.

  Furthermore, the handle device 500 has one end attached to the inner base 508 and the other end attached to the transmission gear 511, with the detection shaft 512a of the rotational position detection sensor 512 in the clockwise direction in a front view via the transmission gear 511. An auxiliary spring 514 for biasing, a touch sensor 516 attached to the rear side of the inner base 508, and a firing stop switch 518 attached to a different position on the rear surface of the inner base 508 with respect to the touch sensor 516; A single-shot button 520 rotatably supported to operate the firing stop switch 518, one end attached to the handle base 502 and the other end attached to the handle main body 504, the handle main body 504 in an initial rotational position (counterclockwise in front view Urge to return to the rotating end) A handle return spring 522 that includes a.

  As illustrated, the handle base 502 of the handle device 500 according to the present embodiment is configured to have a rear end cylindrically extended rearwardly from a front end that is open on the front side and bulges backward. Three axially extending grooves 502a are formed on the outer periphery of the cylindrical shape. The three groove portions 502 a of the handle base 502 are one at the upper side, two at the lower side, and unevenly spaced with respect to the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the three ridges 143 in the cylindrical portion 141 of the handle bracket 140. It is arranged. The handle base 502 is supported in a non-rotatable state by being inserted into the cylindrical portion 141 of the handle bracket 140 so that the groove portion 502 a fits with the protrusion 143.

  In the handle unit 500, an arc-shaped slit 504a disposed concentrically with the rotation axis is formed in the handle main body 504, and three mounting bosses 506a protruding rearward are formed in the front end cover 506. The mounting bosses 506 a are fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 through the slits 504 a of the handle body 504. As a result, the circumferential end of the slit 504 a in the handle main body 504 abuts on the mounting boss 506 a of the front end cover 506, whereby the rotation range of the handle main body 504 is restricted.

  Further, in the handle device 500, the handle main body 504 is formed with a locking projection 504b that protrudes rearward, and the other end (front end side) of the coil-like handle return spring 522 is formed on the locking projection 504b. By being locked, the handle main body 504 is biased in a counterclockwise direction in a front view by a handle return spring 522 attached to the handle base 502 at one end side.

  The handle device 500 of this example is attached to the handle attachment portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 via the handle bracket 140. The handle attachment portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 is inclined so that its attachment surface faces the outer side (open side) in a plan view as viewed from above, so the handle attached via the handle bracket 140 The device 500 is also inclined outward in plan view (in other words, its tip is inclined toward the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front vertical surface of the pachinko machine 1) and the door frame It is attached and fixed to 5. As a result, the player can easily grasp the handle device 500, and can easily perform the turning operation without feeling discomfort in the turning operation.

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor, and when the handle main body 504 (the handle device 500) is rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is rotated via the shaft member 510 and the transmission gear 511. The detection shaft 512a is to be rotated. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes in accordance with the rotation angle of the detection shaft 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the bat firing device 650 described later changes in accordance with the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512.

  In addition, the ball extraction member 583 rotatably supported by the ball feeding unit 580 in this example is configured such that a moment is applied by the weight 583 d so as to rotate in a counterclockwise direction in a front view. The forward movement of the actuating rod 583 c abuts against the upper end of the contact piece 343 a of the upper disc ball withdrawal slider 343 in the upper disc ball ejection mechanism 340 of the disc unit 300, thereby restricting its rotation. In normal times, the dividing portion 583a of the ball removing member 583 divides the space between the entrance 581a and the ball removing hole 581b so that the game ball does not enter the ball removing hole 581b. Then, when the player presses the upper countersink releasing button 341 of the upper countersink removing mechanism 340 in the countersink unit 300 downward, the upper countersink removing slider 343 slides downward with the contact piece 343a and comes into contact As the piece 343a moves downward, the operating rod 583c also moves relatively downward.

  In this way, the actuating member 583c moves downward with the contact piece 343a of the upper ball ball extracting mechanism 340, so that the ball removing member 583 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front and the entrance by the partition 583a. The partition between 381a and the ball outlet 581b is released, and the gaming ball entering from the entrance 381a is discharged from the ball outlet 381b to the ball outlet flow path 344c of the upper countersink base 344 of the dish unit 300. , And is discharged (supplied) to the lower tray 302.

  In addition, since the contact piece 343a of the upper disc ball removal slider 343 with which the operation rod 583c of the ball removal member 583 contacts is biased upward by a coil spring, the game ball is vigorously supplied onto the partition 583a Also, the impact can be absorbed by a coil spring that biases the upper ball ball withdrawal slider 343 via the actuating rod 583c, so that breakage of the ball withdrawal member 583 and the like can be prevented, and the gaming ball is It can be prevented that the partition part 583a bounces back.

  Further, in the ball feeding unit 580 of this example, a rectangular attachment recess 582b (see FIG. 60B, etc.) recessed forward is formed at the upper right on the back cover 582a of the back cover 582 in the back view. And the tamperproof member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b. The fraud prevention member 588 of the ball feeding unit 580 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 from the rear side. As shown in FIG. 59 and the like, the fraud prevention member 588 is formed in a rectangular shape whose entire outer diameter in a rear view is horizontally long, and is opposite to the substantially center in the vertical direction at the tip on the left side in the rear view. Of the upper piece 588b and the lower piece 588c, and the tips of the upper piece 588b and the lower piece 588c which are divided up and down with the dividing line 588a extending a predetermined length toward the base end side (right side) of V formed between the upper piece 588 b and the lower piece 588 c by bending the base end side of the upper piece 588 b in the direction (backward) perpendicular to the general surface of the tamperproof member 588 so as to be away from each other And an inclined portion 588e which is formed at the tip of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c and is inclined toward the cut portion 588d.

  As shown in the figure, in the fraud prevention member 588, the base end side of the upper piece 588b is bent so that the tip of the upper piece 588b (left end in rear view) moves backward, so that the cut portion 588d The wire Iw attached to the incorrect gaming ball I is inserted into the V-shaped interior, which is formed in a V-shape in plan view. In the cut portion 588d of the fraud prevention member 588, the lower side of the upper piece 588b and the upper side of the lower piece 588c intersect at a predetermined angle in plan view, and the gap becomes narrower toward the proximal end It is formed as.

  The inclined portion 588e of the fraud prevention member 588 is formed at the tip of the cutting portion 588d, and can guide the wire Iw attached to the incorrect gaming ball I by the inclined portion 588e into the cutting portion 588d. It is supposed to be. In the ball feeding unit 580 of this example, the fraud prevention member 588 is attached from the rear side in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 as illustrated, and the cut portion 588d in the mounting recess 582b in the rear cover 582 A portion corresponding to the portion where the portion is formed penetrates in the front-rear direction, and at the same time, it communicates with the striking ball supply port 582a. In other words, the rear cover 582 is formed in such a shape that the hitting ball supply port 582a extends into the mounting recess 582b.

  According to this fraud prevention member 588, the illegal game ball I with the wire Iw is supplied from the ball feed unit 580 to the ball striking device 650, and the ball striking device 650 causes the illegal game ball I to be played When driven into the interior 1100, the illegal gaming ball I fired by the striking device 650 moves along the launch rail 660 diagonally to the upper left in front view, and between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 It tries to penetrate into the game area 1100 through. At this time, the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is pulled by the force of the hit game ball I, and unlike the movement trajectory of the illegal game ball I, the wire Iw is a passage of the game ball It will move along the route connecting the shortest distance inside. Therefore, the wire Iw extended from the plate unit 300 through the hitting supply port 582a of the ball feeding unit 580 to the hitting launch device 650 side moves the gaming ball I in the upper left direction (upper right direction in rear view) in front view Then, to move onto the shortest route, the ball is pulled toward the upper right corner of the back surface view of the hitting ball supply port 582a, and is moved into the mounting recess 582b formed in the back view upper right of the ball hitting supply port 582a. And wire rod Iw which moved to the part (inside of attachment recess 582b) which extended to the right by back view of hitting supply port 582a is a cutting part by a pair of inclined parts 588e of fraud prevention member 588 arranged in the position concerned After being guided into 588d, it is further pulled to the right in the rear view by the momentum of the incorrect game ball I.

  As a result, the wire Iw attached to the illegal gaming ball I is pulled by the force of the illegal gaming ball I in the direction in which the gap is narrowed (left direction in front view) by the cutting portion 588d of the tamperproof member 588 In this state, friction and shear force are applied by the cutting portion 588d to cut the wire Iw (see FIG. 61D). At this time, since the momentum of the illegal gaming ball I with the wire rod Iw is reduced by the friction acting on the wire rod Iw, the portion between the outer rail 1111 and the firing rail 660 does not enter the gaming area 1100. It will be discharged through the

  Therefore, since the wire Iw attached to the illegal gaming ball I can be cut by the cutting portion 588d of the fraud preventing member 588, a fraudulent act is performed by the illegal gaming ball I with the wire Iw in the gaming area 1100. It is possible to prevent being cursed. In addition, even if an illegal game ball I intrudes into the game area 1100, as described above, since the wire Iw can be cut by the anti-corruption member 588, an illegal action can not be performed. Even if the wire Iw can not be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, the wire Iw bites into the V-shaped cutting portion 588d to attenuate the force of the illegal game ball I, thereby reducing the game area 1100. Since it is possible to prevent intrusion into the inside, it is possible to prevent fraud from being conducted.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the game balls are stored in the upper plate 301 and supplied to the ball feed unit 580, and then the player operates the handle device 500 provided on the front of the door frame 5. When operated, the game ball is sent to the ball hitting and launching apparatus 650 by driving the ball feeding solenoid 585 of the ball feeding unit 580, and the game ball is hit into the game area 1100 by the ball hitting and firing apparatus 650. The game is performed in the game area 1100 which is made visible through the game, and the player can be entertained, and the feed mechanism (the ball feed member 584 or the ball feed solenoid 585) is provided on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100. Etc.) and the discharging mechanism (ball removing member 583), and the ball feeding unit 580 is disposed. The ball feed member 584 and the ball hitting and firing device 650 also come close to each other as much as possible, and remain on the ball feed member 584 when the game ball in the upper tray 301 is ejected by operating the upper disc ball release button 341. The number of gaming balls can be reduced as much as possible, and it is possible to prevent the player from feeling lost and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 including the ball removing member 583 is disposed on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100, the capacity of the upper plate 301 in the plate unit 300 can be increased, and the game ball is hit The game balls in the upper plate 301 can be eliminated early by the operation, and the upper plate 301 can be prevented from being filled with the game balls at an early stage, and the game balls in the upper plate 301 can be reduced. Thus, it is possible to reduce the feeling of inconvenience for the player and to suppress the decrease in interest, and also to miniaturize the plate unit 300 while maintaining the capacity of the upper plate 301, so The area 1100 can be made large (wide) to be the pachinko machine 1 that can strongly attract the attention of the player.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is provided with the ball pulling member 583, the ball feeding member 580 can be compared with the ball feeding member 584 and the ball pulling member 583 separately. The 584 and the ball removing member 583 can be attached, and the time and effort for assembling can be simplified, and the feeding unit 580 can be easily replaced, and a defect occurs in the ball feeding member 584 and the ball removing member 583 Even if the ball feeding unit 580 is replaced, the problem can be solved easily.

  Furthermore, since the ball feed unit 580 is disposed on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100 in the door frame 5, the upper disc ball is compared to that provided with the ball feed unit 580 on the main body frame 3 side. There is no need to configure a transmission mechanism (upper disc ball extraction mechanism 340) for transmitting the operation of the extraction button 341 to the ball extraction member 583 of the ball feed unit 580 so as to straddle the openable door frame 5 and the main body frame 3. The configuration of the transmission mechanism can be simplified. Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is provided on the door frame 5 side, the transmission mechanism (every time the door frame 5 is opened compared to the case where the ball feed unit 580 is provided on the main body frame 3 side) Blocking of the upper ball ball withdrawal mechanism 340) can prevent the possibility of premature wear of the transmission mechanism, causing malfunction or breakage, and reliability for operation of the transmission mechanism, the ball feed unit 580, etc. And durability can be enhanced.

  Further, since the upper disc ball release button 341 is pressed downward, the game ball can be discharged from the upper plate 301 to the lower plate 302 simply by pressing the upper disc ball release button 341 downward, or the upper plate 301 It is possible to stop the game balls from being discharged from the game player, and to allow the player to easily operate the ball extraction operation in the upper plate 301 by the upper plate ball extraction button 341.

  In addition, the partition portion 583a of the ball removing member 583 is made movable by the movement of the upper plate ball removing slider 343 which slides in the vertical direction according to the operation of the upper plate ball removing button 341. At the same time, the partition 583a is also movable in the vertical direction, so that the horizontal movement range of the upper countersink slider 343 and the partitions 583a can be reduced as much as possible. The unit 580 can be downsized, and the pachinko machine 1 can reliably achieve the above-described effects.

  Further, the upper disc ball extracting slider 343 is urged upward, and when the upper disc ball extracting slider 343 is at the raised position, the partitioning portion 583 a of the ball extracting member 583 brings the entrance 581 a into contact with the ball hitting supply port 582 Therefore, even if the game ball from the upper plate 301 vigorously abuts against the partition portion 583a, the impact can be mitigated by the biasing force acting on the upper tray ball withdrawal slider 343, and the partition portion 583a The durability of 583) can be enhanced. In addition, since the impact applied to the partition 583a can be alleviated by the biasing force acting on the upper flat ball slide slider 343, it is possible to make it difficult for the game ball to collide even if it collides with the partition 583a. Thus, the ball feeding unit 580 or the like can be damaged and the occurrence of a defect can be suppressed.

  Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated, it is related to the movement of the partition portion 583a when the load of the game ball is applied to the partition portion 583a as compared with the case where the partition portion 583a is slid. The friction loss can be reduced, and the operation of the upper bowl ball withdrawal button 341 can be lightened to improve the operability, and the movement range of the partition portion 583a can be reduced in plane projection, as in the above. The effects and effects of

  In addition, since the partition 583a is rotated by its own weight in the direction to connect the inlet 581a and the ball outlet 581b, if a problem occurs in the partition 583a or the upper countersinking mechanism 340, the partition By turning by its own weight, the entrance and the discharge port are communicated, and the game medium in the storage tray is fed to the feed mechanism (loading device) side even though the discharge operation unit is not operated. Since it is discharged to the player without being stopped, it is possible to make the player recognize that the pachinko machine 1 has a problem, and it is moved to the pachinko machine 1 having no problem so that it is interesting It is possible to suppress the decrease.

  Furthermore, since the ball removing member 583 is rotated through the pivoting collar portion 583b of the dividing portion 583a, when the game ball collides with the partitioning portion 583a, the pivoting collar portion whose impact is bent It is possible to prevent the impact from being linearly transmitted to the rotation shaft by dispersing the pressure by the 583 b or absorbing it by the bending of the rotation flange portion 583 b, so that the durability of the ball removing member 583 can be reduced. It can be enhanced.

  Further, since the ball outlet 581b is disposed immediately below the entrance 581a communicating with the upper tray 301, when discharging the gaming ball in the upper tray 301, the right and left sides of the gaming ball in the ball feeding unit 580 The movement of the direction can be minimized, and the game ball can be discharged well by improving the passage of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580. In addition, since the ball outlet 581b is disposed immediately below the entrance 581a, the discharge path of the game balls in the ball feed unit 580 can be shortened as much as possible, and the ball feed unit 580 can be used as a discharge mechanism. Even if the ball removing member 583 is provided, it is possible to suppress the ball feeding unit 580 from being unnecessarily enlarged.

  Furthermore, the tamperproof member 588 is attached to the mounting recess 582b on the rear side of the rear cover 582, and the tamperproof member 588 (cut portion 588d) is disposed as close as possible to the ball striking device 650. As a result, the wire Iw attached to the fraudulent game ball I in the fastest (impulsive) state immediately after being fired by the ball striking device 650 comes into contact with the cutting portion 588d, and the cutting portion 588d While the wire rod Iw is pulled fast (strongly) against it, the wire rod Iw can be cut reliably and at the same time, the impetus of the momentum of the game ball I is damped and prevented from entering the game area 1100. It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed by the fraudulent game ball I.

  In addition, since the tamperproof member 588 having the cutting portion 588d is mounted in the mounting recess 582b which is recessed forward from the rear surface of the rear cover 582, the V-shaped cutting portion 588d is formed. The upper piece portion 588b bent rearward can be configured not to protrude rearward from the rear end surface of the rear cover 582, and the worker is injured during assembly by the upper piece portion 588b of the tamperproof member 588. Can be prevented.

  Further, in the fraud prevention member 588 capable of cutting the wire Iw attached to the illegal gaming ball I, the upper upper piece portion 588b is bent backward with the dividing line 588a extending from the right end of the metal plate material. Since the V-shaped cutting portion 588d is formed, the cutting portion 588d capable of exerting a shearing force can be easily formed (processed), and the cost of the pachinko machine 1 is increased. It is possible to suppress the increase.

[1-2 J. Glass unit]
Next, the glass unit 590 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 22 and FIG. This glass unit 590 has an opening of substantially the same size as the gaming window 101, and an annular octagonal unit frame 592 molded with synthetic resin, and two sheets for closing the front and rear ends of the opening of the unit frame 592 respectively.

A light emission effect can be performed to prompt the operation of the operation unit 405. In addition, by causing the systems 109a and 109b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 in the operation group 109 to emit light as appropriate, the operation of the dial operation unit 401 is prompted or the light emission effect for guiding the rotational operation direction of the dial operation unit 401 is provided. can do. Furthermore, by causing the system 109c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation group 109 to emit light, it is possible to perform a light emission effect that prompts the operation of the pressing operation unit 405.

  Since the first ring group 102, the second ring group 103, the upper center group 106, the upper tray group 108, and the group 109c of the operation group 109 are full color LEDs, each group 102, 103, 106, 108 , 109, and each of the systems 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, and 109c, it is possible to perform light emission effects with different gradations such as light emission color and brightness. An expressive light emitting effect can be performed.

The full tank branch unit 770 is suspended from the rear side of the mounting lock portion 716 by locking the locking portion 770a from the rear side to the mounting locking portion 716 of the winning ball base 710, and the winning ball base 770 By fixing the fixing portion 770b to a predetermined screw 710, the full-tan branch unit 770 can be attached and fixed to the lower end of the winning ball base 710.

  Further, as shown in the figure, the full tank branch unit 770 is formed in a box-like shape that becomes lower as it goes from the rear end to the front end, and opens upward substantially at the center in the left-right direction in the upper rear end. A prize ball receptacle 771 for receiving game balls having flowed down a prize ball passage 715 of a prize ball base 710, and a branch space 772 disposed under the prize ball receptacle 771 and expanded in the left-right direction (see FIG. 83) The game ball is rolled forward from the normal passage 773 (see FIG. 83) for guiding the game ball from directly under the prize ball receiving opening 771 in the branch space 772 to the front side, A normal ball outlet 774 opened at the right end of the front view and a full channel 775 for guiding the game ball forward from a position farther to the right in the rear view than directly below the prize ball receiving opening 771 in the branch space 772 (FIG. three A), a full Tan passage 775 to release the rolling was game balls forward and full ball outlet 776 which opens in a front view the left side of the normal ball outlet 774, a.

  Furthermore, the full tank branching unit 770 has a ball outlet 777 that receives the game ball that opens upward at the left end in a front view at the upper end of the rear end and flows down the ball extraction passage 741d of the prize ball device 740; A ball extraction passage 778 (see FIG. 83) for guiding the gaming ball received in the extraction opening 777 to the front side and the gaming ball rolled on the ball extraction passage 778 are released forward and the normal ball outlet 774 at the left end in front view And a ball outlet 779 opened at a position rearward of the full ball outlet 776.

  In the full tank branch unit 770 of this example, when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank ball outlet 776 are the first of the far cover unit 540 in the door frame 5. The gaming ball discharged from the ball outlet 774, which is in opposite communication with the ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c, passes through the first ball inlet 542a of the far cover unit 540, and The gaming balls supplied to the upper tray 301 and discharged from the full ball outlet 776 are supplied to the lower tray 302 of the tray unit 300 through the second ball inlet 542 c of the far cover unit 540. Further, the ball outlet 779 is formed to communicate with the upper right end of the main frame base ball escape passage 622 in the main body frame base 600 in a back view, and the gaming ball released from the ball outlet 779 is the main frame base 600 The main body frame base ball removal passage 622 is to be delivered.

  In this full tank branching unit 770, the gaming balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball device 740 are received by the prize ball receiving opening 771 through the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. In the normal state, the gaming ball having entered the prize ball receptacle 771 drops the branch space 772 and flows down into the normal passage 773 disposed immediately below the prize ball receptacle 771. Then, the gaming ball that has flowed down into the passage 773 normally enters the first ball inlet 542a of the far cover unit 540 from the ball outlet 774, passes through the first ball passage 542b, and the dish unit 300 from the first ball outlet 544a. It will be supplied to the upper plate 301.

  By the way, when the game ball is further paid out from the winning ball unit 700 (the winning ball device 740) in a state where the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is full of gaming balls, the first ball outlet of the far cover unit 540 The game ball which can not go out to the upper plate 301 side from 544a stays in the first ball passage 542b of the far cover unit 540, and eventually, the inside of the normal passage 773 upstream through the normal ball outlet 774 in the full branch unit 770 is also full. become. In this state, the gaming ball entering the branch space 772 from the winning ball receptacle 771 can not normally enter the passage 773 and starts moving laterally in the branch space 772 and moves laterally. The game ball enters into the full tank passage 775, and from below the full ball outlet 776 through the second ball inlet 542c, the second ball passage 542d, and the second ball outlet 544b of the far cover unit 540, under the dish unit 300. It is supplied to the dish 302.

  Note that the full-tan branch unit 770 of this example is entirely formed of a transparent synthetic resin so that the inside can be viewed from the outside. This makes it possible to easily find foreign substances such as dust and dirt that have entered the full tank branch unit 770, clogging of the ball, etc. without disassembling the full tank branch unit 7700. .

  As described above, when the game ball is full in the upper plate 301, the full tank branch unit 770 of this example automatically performs the game ball paid out from the winning ball device 740, until the full tank is cancelled. Since the lower tray 302 can be supplied to the lower tray 302, the upper tray becomes full and the ball release button of the upper tray is operated like the conventional pachinko machine, so that the game balls can not be supplied to the striking unit It is possible to avoid interruption of the hitting of the game ball, and it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience in the game and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

  Further, as described above, when the upper plate 301 is full, the full-tan branch unit 770 of this example branches the passage of the gaming ball paid out immediately below the winning ball device 740, that is, at the rear of the pachinko machine 1. Because the game balls staying in the normal passage 773 of the full tank branch unit 770 are paid out to the upper tray 301, the game balls in the upper plate 301 and the game balls in the normal passage 773 hit the ball launching device The storage ball of the upper plate 301 is substantially the sum of the capacity of the upper plate 301 and the capacity of the normal passage 773. That is, even if the capacity of the upper plate 301 is smaller than the capacity of the upper plate in the conventional pachinko machine, the capacity of the normal passage 773 is added, so the game ball of the same amount as the conventional is stored in the upper plate 301 Can. Therefore, by making the upper tray 301 smaller, it is possible to make the game window 101 in the door frame 5 relatively large (wide), and it is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 provided with the wider game area 1100 and play a game A pachinko machine 1 with high appeal to the player can be provided, and the player can be entertained by the large game area 1100.

  Furthermore, since the two normal ball outlets 774 and the full ball outlets 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 are arranged side by side, the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage plate so that the receiving port (first Even when the ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c are only one, the game balls can be sent to the door frame 5 without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branch unit 770). Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage trays without changing the flow path (full tank branch unit 770) of the game ball in the main body frame 3. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the lineup of the pachinko machine 1 provided with the door frame 5 having different numbers of storage dishes.

  Further, as described above, even if the number of storage trays provided in the door frame 5 is changed, it is possible to cope without changing the main body frame 3, so the entire pachinko machine 1 according to the change of the door frame 5 The cost of the machine can be reduced, and various pachinko machines 1 can be provided at low cost.

  Furthermore, the game ball sent from the normal ball outlet 774 to the door frame 5 through the normal passage 773 is preferentially hit into the game area 1100, and the door frame 5 having only one storage tray The game balls paid out from the winning ball device 740 can be immediately sent to the storage tray through the normal passage 773 and the normal ball outlet 774, so that the time lag from the payout to the storage can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player's interest from being reduced due to a lack of game balls for throwing in, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with the door frame 5 in which the number of storage dishes is different. .

  In addition, unless the upper tray 301 is full, since the gaming balls paid out from the winning bowl device 740 are sent to the upper tray 301, the frequency of transferring the gaming balls stored in the lower tray 302 to the upper tray 301 is reduced. As a result, it is possible to concentrate the player on the operation of hitting the game ball and the like, and to suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game.

  Further, even when the normal ball outlet 774 and the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 are arranged side by side on the left and right and the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage plate, the first ball The position of the lower end of the inlet corresponding to the inlet 542a etc. can be made the same height as the first ball inlet 542a etc corresponding to the upper tray 301 of the door frame 5 provided with two storage trays, so It becomes possible to prevent the depth from becoming shallow, and the storage plate can be made deeper to secure a sufficient amount of storage for the game balls, and the player can be made to play without having to worry about the storage amount frequently. It is possible to correspond to the door frame 5 provided with different numbers of storage dishes without changing the main body frame 3 side, and the cost for changing the model of the pachinko machine 1 is increased. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the position where the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 branches from the normal passage 773 is branched at a position as close as possible to the winning ball apparatus 740, and the upper tray 301 is full tank with game balls. Even if no game balls are released from the normal ball outlet 774, the amount of game balls stored in the normal passage 773 from the normal ball outlet 774 to the branching position of the full passage 775 is increased as much as possible. It is possible to increase the storage amount of the game balls stored in the upper plate 301 as much as possible. In the case where only one storage tray is provided in the door frame 5, even if the storage tray is filled with gaming balls and the gaming balls can not be ejected from the normal ball outlet 774 or the full tank ball outlet 776, Since the position where the full tank passage 775 branches from the normal passage 773 is disposed as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, many game balls are not only in the normal passage 773 but also in the full tank passage 775. Can be stored, and the substantial storage amount of game balls stored in the storage tray can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, even if the number of storage dishes provided on the door frame 5 is different, the storage amount of gaming balls in each door frame 5 can be maximized without changing the main frame 3 (full tank branch unit 770). The pachinko machine 1 can be made as much as possible, and can cope with different door frames 5 sufficiently.

  In addition, the normal passage 773 and the full passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 are large enough to roll the game balls in a plurality of rows, and the amount of game ball parked in the full tank branch unit 770 (storage amount) Can be increased, so that even if the number of storage trays provided in the door frame 5 is different, it is avoided that the total storage amount of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 decreases. The pachinko machine 1 can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having different numbers of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game balls in the main body frame 3.

  In addition, since the inside of the normal passage 773 and the full passage 775 can be visually recognized from the outside by forming the full tank branch unit 770 with a transparent resin, the game ball is clogged in the full tank branch unit 770 and a problem occurs At the time, it is possible to easily find a clogged spot from the outside of the full tank branch unit 770, and it is possible to solve the problem early and to improve the operation rate of the pachinko machine 1.

In the ball outlet opening and closing unit 790, the contact portion 793d of the opening and closing crank 793 contacts the opening and closing operation piece 542g of the door cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 in a state where the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3. The contact portion 793d is pivoted in the clockwise direction in front view against the biasing force of the opening / closing spring 794, and the drive pin 793c is rotated in the clockwise direction in the front view together with the contact portion 793d. By moving, the open / close shutter 792 is lowered to open the normal ball outlet 774 and the full ball outlet 776 at the front end of the full tank branch unit 770.

  When the door frame 5 is opened with respect to the main body frame 3 from this state, the contact between the contact portion 793 d of the opening and closing crank 793 and the opening and closing operation piece 542 g of the full cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 is released. Is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front by the biasing force of the opening / closing spring 794, and the opening / closing shutter 792 is lifted to close the normal ball outlet 774 at the front end of the full tank branch unit 770 and the full tank outlet 776. It can be done.

  Thus, according to the opening and closing of the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the ball exit opening / closing unit 790 automatically automatically outputs the normal ball exit 774 and the full ball exit 776 at the front end of the full Since it can be opened and closed, even if the door frame 5 is opened with the game balls remaining in the full tank branch unit 770, the game balls are prevented from spilling from the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank ball outlet 776 It can be done.

[1-3F. Substrate unit]
Next, the substrate unit 800 in the main body frame 3 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 87 to 93. FIG. 87 is a front perspective view of the substrate unit in the main body frame, and FIG. 88 is a rear perspective view of the substrate unit in the main body frame. FIG. 89 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate unit as viewed from the front. Further, FIG. 90 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate unit after being disassembled and viewed. FIG. 91 is a perspective view for explaining the operation of the standing wall portion of the power supply substrate box in the substrate unit. FIG. 92 (A) is a cross-sectional view of a terminal board box in the board unit, and (B) is an exploded perspective view of the terminal board box in the board unit as viewed from the front. FIG. 93 (A) is a front view of the firing power supply substrate box, and (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A shown in (A).

  The substrate unit 800 in the body frame 3 includes a substrate unit base 810 attached to the rear surface of the lower rear wall 604 of the body frame base 600, a speaker box 820 attached to the left rear surface of the substrate unit base 810 in front view, and the substrate unit base A firing power supply substrate box 830 attached to the right end rear surface of the front view 810, a power supply substrate box holder 840 attached to the rear surface of the substrate unit base 810 so as to surround the firing power supply substrate box 830 from the rear side A power supply substrate box 850 attached to the rear surface and having a rear end substantially flush with the rear end of the speaker box 820, and a payout control substrate box 860 attached to the power substrate box 850 and the rear surface of the speaker box 820. And the payout control board box A terminal board box 870 attached to the rear surface of the speaker box 820 so as to cover the left end of the front view 860; and a main relay terminal board 880 and a peripheral relay terminal board 882 attached to the front of the board unit base 810; Have.

  The substrate unit base 810 in the substrate unit 800 of this example is configured to extend in the left-right direction as shown in the figure, and the substantially central part in the left-right direction inclines gently upward as it goes down one step toward the left and right ends. A wall-shaped shielding wall 811 projecting forward from the front, an opening 812 disposed on the upper side of the shielding wall 811 at a position one step lower than the middle in the left-right direction and penetrating in the front-rear direction Board attachment portion 813 formed on the front surface near the left end in front view and for mounting the main side relay terminal board 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal board 882, and in a rectangular shape horizontally long in the front and rear direction in front view left side of the board attachment portion 813 Longitudinally slit-shaped plural-pieces penetrating in the front-rear direction at positions corresponding to the penetrating cylindrical duct portion 814 and the lower speaker 821 of the speaker box 820 fixed to the rear surface A through hole 815 of, and a rear view left (front view on the right) box accommodation portion 816 capable of accommodating the front is open rearwardly and upwardly to the rear surface of the upper firing power board box 830, the.

  In the substrate unit base 810, the shielding wall portion 811 is formed along the lower side of the main body frame base ball removal passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 in the main body frame base 600. The gaming balls can be prevented from dropping downward from the base ball removal passage 622, and the strength of the substrate unit base 810 can be enhanced. In addition, the substrate unit base 810 sends the gaming balls having flowed down the main frame base ball escape passage 622 to the power supply substrate box holder 840 disposed on the rear side of the substrate unit base 810 through the opening 812 penetrating in the front-rear direction. It can be done.

  Further, in the board unit base 810, the board attachment portion 813 for attaching the main side relay terminal board 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal board 882 is disposed at a position corresponding to the opening 614 opened in a rectangular shape in the main body frame base 600. When the main relay terminal board 880 and the peripheral relay terminal board 882 are attached to the board mounting portion 813, the main relay terminal board 880 and the peripheral relay terminal board 882 are on the front side from the opening 614 of the main frame base 600. It is supposed to come to Further, the substrate unit base 810 can transmit the sound from the lower speaker 821 of the speaker box 820 favorably to the front side by the duct portion 814 and the plurality of through holes 815.

  Furthermore, the substrate unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the front box storage portion 843 of the power supply substrate box holder 840 in which the box storage portion 816 is disposed on the rear side, and the box storage portion 816 and the front box storage portion 843. And a receiving recess for receiving the firing power supply substrate box 830 can be formed.

  The speaker box 820 in the board unit 800 is literally provided with the lower speaker 821 mounted facing the front. At the same time as sealing the rear side of the lower speaker 821 in a sealed manner, the speaker box 820 is formed with a horizontally long rectangular opening port 822 on the left side of the lower speaker 821 in a front view. The open port 822 communicates with the space on the rear side of the lower speaker 821 through a predetermined labyrinth-like passage, though the detailed illustration is omitted, thereby reversing the phase of the sound on the rear side of the lower speaker 821 It radiates forward and is a bass reflex type speaker box capable of emitting more deep bass to the aperture of the lower speaker 821. The duct portion 814 in the substrate unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the opening 822 of the speaker box 820, so that the sound emitted from the opening 822 can be favorably transmitted forward. ing.

  The firing power supply substrate box 830 in the substrate unit 800 is formed in a box shape with an open rear, and includes a firing power supply substrate 831 attached so as to close the rear end opening. In the firing power supply substrate box 830, various electronic components attached to the firing power supply substrate 831 are accommodated internally, and heat from the electronic components etc. is provided through the slits 830a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. Can be released to the outside.

  The firing power supply substrate box 830 is detached from above in the upwardly open accommodation recess formed by the box accommodation portion 816 of the substrate unit base 810 and the front box accommodation portion 843 of the power supply substrate box holder 840 described later. It is supposed to be accommodated. Thereby, in the assembled state of the main body frame 3, when a problem occurs in the firing power supply substrate box 830, the firing power supply substrate box 830 can be easily detached, replaced, or repaired from the front side of the main body frame 3. It can be done (see Figure 67).

  Further, the launch power supply substrate box 830 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 93, the launch power supply substrate 831 is provided with a DC / DC converter 831a and an electrolytic capacitor SC0 for charging and discharging the power from the DC / DC converter 831a. And a combined current combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is driven by causing a current to flow to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking and launching apparatus 650. In this firing power supply substrate box 830, slits 830a as heat dissipation holes are formed on the upper and lower surfaces in order to release the heat emitted from the DC / DC converter 831a mounted on the firing power supply substrate 831 and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the outside. ing.

  Further, since the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply substrate 831 is an electronic component that is more easily damaged by heat than the DC / DC converter 831a, the side surface of the firing power supply substrate box 830 on which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is disposed is a heat dissipation hole. A slit 830a is formed. Further, in the firing power supply substrate box 830, a partition wall 830b, which divides the internal space into two spaces of a space for housing the DC / DC converter 831a and a space for housing the electrolytic capacitor SC0, has an upper inner wall And the bottom inner wall are integrally formed from the bottom to the end opening edge. Thus, when the firing power supply substrate 831 is attached to the end opening of the firing power supply substrate box 830 and the inner space of the firing power supply substrate box 830 is closed, the inner space of the firing power supply substrate box 830 accommodates the electrolytic capacitor SC0 by the partition wall 830b. Partition wall 830b for housing the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and a housing space 830c for housing the electrolytic capacitor SC0, and a housing space 830d for housing the DC / DC converter 831a. The housing space 830 d for housing the DC / DC converter 831 a functions as a heat insulating wall that blocks the heat from entering and exiting.

  The heat in the housing space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is housed, that is, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0, is a slit as a heat dissipation hole formed on the upper surface, the side surface, and the lower surface for communicating the housing space 830c with the outside air. The released heat can be prevented from entering the storage space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is stored by being released to the outside through 830a. Therefore, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 can be prevented from being transmitted to the DC / DC converter 831a. Further, the heat in the housing space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is housed, that is, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a, is a heat radiation hole formed on the upper surface and the lower surface communicating the housing space 830d with the outside air. By being released to the outside through the slits 830a, it is possible to prevent the released heat from entering the storage space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is stored. Therefore, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a can be prevented from being transmitted to the electrolytic capacitor SC0.

  In the present embodiment, the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for producing combined current to be supplied to the launch solenoid 654 of the striking launcher 650 are not provided on the power supply substrate 851, but are separately provided. By being provided on the power supply substrate 831, the size of the launch power supply substrate 831 can be made smaller than the size of the power supply substrate 851. Therefore, the size reduction of the firing power supply substrate 831 facilitates handling, the replacement work of the firing power supply substrate 831 is facilitated, and the time spent on the replacement work can be shortened. In this replacement work, it is also possible to replace the firing power supply substrate box 830 while the firing power supply substrate 831 is attached to the end opening of the firing power supply substrate box 830.

  Also, even if the pachinko machine 1 is operated and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches its life, and even if the driving by the firing solenoid 654 suddenly becomes impossible to fire and the game has to be interrupted, replacement work of the firing power substrate 831 is easy The interruption of the game can be resolved at an early stage by being able to Therefore, the impossibility of firing due to the life of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 can be eliminated very easily, interruption of the game due to the impossibility of firing can be resolved at an early stage, the game can be resumed, and the interest of the player decreases. Can be suppressed.

  The electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply substrate 831 is deteriorated by repeated charging and discharging, for example, at a frequency of 100 times per minute every time drive firing is performed by the firing solenoid 654, and reaches the life On the other hand, although the power supply substrate 851 creates a DC power supply from the AC power supply of the island facility such as a game hall, charging and discharging are not repeated at the same frequency as the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply substrate 831. The life is extremely long as compared with the firing power supply substrate 831. In other words, the power supply substrate 831 reaches its life due to deterioration due to charging and discharging of the electrolytic capacitor SC0, whereas the power supply substrate 851 comes to life due to aging. The DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 are not provided on the power supply substrate 851 but are provided separately on the power supply substrate 851 and not on the power supply substrate 851 for producing combined current flowing to the emission solenoid 654. Can be concentrated on the power supply substrate 851. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the electronic component associated with the long-term aging change from being replaced together with the short-lived electrolytic capacitor SC0.

  In addition, since the firing power supply substrate 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for controlling the bat firing device 650 is detachable from the front side through the game board holding port 601 for holding the game board 4, the capacity is changed to change the driving characteristics. It is necessary to remove the game board 4 held in the game board holding port 601 in order to detach the launch power supply substrate 831 even if the fraud is changed to different electrolytic capacitors SC0 different from each other, and replacement of the launch power supply substrate 831 is difficult It is possible to make it difficult to make fraud, and it is possible to suppress fraud that deliberately changes the impact strength that has been optimized by making unauthorized modifications to the launch power supply substrate 831 and to make it difficult to do fraud. The pachinko machine 1 can be configured to be capable of preventing a player who has learned frustration etc. from developing into injustice such as injustice.

  In addition, since the firing power supply substrate 831 is made removable so that it can be replaced, even if the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the firing power supply substrate 831 is cheated, the firing power substrate 831 is immediately replaced to make cheating. It is possible to eliminate the interruption period of the game as much as possible, and it is possible to eliminate the feeling of frustration and feeling unhappy due to the interruption of the game at an early stage. It is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Furthermore, the launch power supply substrate 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 in the launch control unit 4120 for controlling the strike launcher 650 is detachable from the front side through the game board holding port 601 of the main frame 3 holding the game board 4 When replacing the game board 4 due to a model change, etc., the firing power supply substrate 831 (firing power supply substrate box 830) of the firing control unit 4120 can also be easily replaced, so it matched the concept of the new model to be replaced etc. By replacing the launch power supply substrate 831 with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and the DC / DC converter 831a that can realize the launch characteristics, the launch characteristics of the bat striking launch device 650 previously provided in the main body frame 3 is a new game It can be matched to the board 4. Therefore, since the hit characteristics of the game ball can be easily matched to the concept of the game board 4, it is possible to sufficiently enjoy the game by the game board 4 of the new model and to suppress the decrease in the player's interest can do.

  In addition, since the launch power supply substrate 831 of the launch control unit 4120 can be detached from the front side, when replacing the launch power supply substrate 831, there is no need to open the main body frame 3 for island facilities such as game halls, While the effort required for replacement can be simplified, it can be replaced in a short time, and an increase in the burden on the game hall side can be suppressed. Further, since the firing power supply substrate 831 (the firing power supply substrate box 830) is made removable so that it can be replaced, the change of the implantation characteristics is made as compared with the case where the entire firing control unit 4120 (the delivery control substrate 4110) is replaced. The cost of reducing the cost can be reduced, and the burden on the hole side can be reduced.

  Furthermore, when changing the model etc., only the game board 4 is replaced, and the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 etc. can be used as they are before. When the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the firing power supply substrate 831 is degraded, as described above, since the firing power supply substrate box 830 can be easily replaced from the front side, a defect occurs due to the degradation and the firing power supply substrate 831 is immediately replaced. And the problem can be resolved, and the interruption period of the game can be shortened as much as possible, and at the same time, the interruption of the game can be quickly resolved to feel frustrating or to feel disappointing. It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, the shooting power supply substrate 831 (the shooting power supply substrate box 830) is supported through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the game power holding board 601 is held by the game board holding port 601 Because it is necessary to remove the game board 4, even if a tool for fraudulent action is made to enter from the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, an illegal tool reaches the firing power substrate 831 by the game board 4. While being able to prevent that a fraudulent act is performed with respect to the injection | emission electric power source board | substrate 831, it can be set as the pachinko machine 1 with high defense power against a fraudulent act.

  Furthermore, since the firing power supply substrate box 830 is supported through the game board holding port 601 and the position for supporting the firing power supply substrate box 830 is on the rear side of the front surface of the main body frame 3, the firing power supply A space for supporting the substrate box 830 can be easily secured, and the pachinko machine 1 that supports the launch power supply substrate box 830 and achieves the above-described effects can be embodied with certainty.

  Also, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is provided on the firing power supply substrate 831 and the firing power supply substrate 831 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3. Therefore, power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654. Even if the load applied to the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes large and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is easily deteriorated, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 (fired power supply substrate 831) can be easily replaced, so that the problem can be eliminated early and the game is interrupted. While being able to shorten time as much as possible, it can be set as the pachinko machine 1 which reliably plays the effect mentioned above.

  In addition, the power supply substrate box holder 840 in the substrate unit 800 receives the gaming balls discharged upward from the out ball discharging portion 1161 of the gaming board 4 to the upper left on the left front than the left and right center in front view. Ejecting ball receiving portion 841, Ejecting passage 842 for guiding the gaming ball received by Ejecting ball receiving portion 841 downward, Ejecting passage 842 and front of the side of Ejecting passage 842 and Ejecting ball receiving portion 841 (right side in front view) The front box accommodating portion 843 opened forward and upward to accommodate the rear side of the firing power supply substrate box 830, and the entire rear surface of the power supply substrate box holder 840 is formed to be recessed forward and the front end of the power supply substrate box 850 And a rear box accommodating portion 844 that can be accommodated.

  The power supply substrate box holder 840 is configured such that the open front end side of the discharge passage 842 is closed by the rear surface of the substrate unit base 810 and the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810 is in a position desired to the discharge passage 842 The body frame base ball removal passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall 604 of the body frame base 600 is rolled to pass through the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810 and the back of the substrate unit base 810 The game ball which has flowed down to the side and the game ball which is discharged from the out ball discharge portion 1161 of the game board 4 and which is received by the discharge ball receiving portion 841 will be described later in detail. It can be discharged downward.

  In addition, the power supply substrate box holder 840 is formed at a position corresponding to the box accommodation portion 816 of the substrate unit base 810, and the box accommodation portion 816 and the front box accommodation portion 843 accommodate the fired power supply substrate box 830. A recess can be formed.

  Furthermore, the power supply substrate box 850 in the substrate unit 800 is formed in a horizontally long box shape whose front is open, and includes a power supply substrate 851 attached so as to close its front end opening. The power supply substrate box 850 is adapted to receive various electronic components attached to the power supply substrate 851, and externally transmits the heat from the electronic components through the plurality of slits 850a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. It can be released into the As shown in FIG. 90, the power switch 852 attached to the power supply substrate 851 is exposed on the rear surface of the power supply substrate box 850.

  In addition, power supply substrate box 850 is a standing wall projecting rearward along the lower side of the opening facing power supply terminal 853 (see FIGS. 88 and 90) mounted on the lower side of power supply switch 852 in power supply substrate 851. The wiring cord 854 can be inserted between the portion 850b, the protruding portion 850c protruding backward from both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, and the front side and the lower side of the standing wall portion 850b and the outer periphery of the power supply substrate box 850 And a wiring guide portion 850d that forms a gap. Although not shown in detail, the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply substrate 851 has a locking piece for locking with the locking claw of the connector terminal 855, and the locking claw and the locking piece And the connector terminal 855 does not come off from the power supply terminal 853.

  The power supply substrate box 850 is slightly behind the rear end of the connector terminal 855 in a state where the upright wall portion 850b connects the connector terminal 855 of the wiring cord 854 to the power terminal 853 of the power supply substrate 851 as shown in FIG. It is formed to project into In the power supply substrate box 850 of this example, the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power terminal 853 of the power supply substrate 851 in a state where the wiring cord 854 is hooked from the lower front side of the power supply substrate box 850 to the rear end of the upright wall 850b. The terminal 855 is connected.

  By the way, after connecting the connector terminal which the wiring cord extended to the connection terminal attached to the substrate and then pulling the wiring cord to the substrate side, the connector terminal is connected by the tension applied from the wiring cord. Since the connector terminal is pressed to the terminal side, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove the connector terminal from the connection terminal. However, according to the power supply substrate box 850 of this example, the tip side of the wiring cord 854 (the opposite side to the connector terminal 855 connected to the power supply terminal 853) is directed to the power supply substrate 851 side (front side with respect to the main frame 3). Since the wiring cord 854 is wound around (folded back) behind the connector terminal 855 by the standing wall portion 850b that protrudes rearward relative to the connector terminal 855 even if it is pulled, the connector from the wiring cord 854 It is possible to prevent application of a force such that the terminal 855 is pressed to the power supply terminal 853 side, and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power supply terminal 853 can be easily removed.

  Further, since power supply substrate box 850 is provided with protruding portions 850c that project rearward on both sides of the rear end of standing wall portion 850b, even if wiring cord 854 slides along the rear end of standing wall portion 850b, the rear end The projections 850c provided at both ends can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and can prevent the wiring cord 854 from coming off the upright wall portion 850b.

  Further, by inserting the wiring cord 854 into the wiring guide portion 850d of the power supply substrate box 850, the wiring cord 854 folded back at the standing wall portion 850b can be brought close to the standing wall portion 850b side. The wire cord 854 can be brought close to the standing wall portion 850b side by the wiring guide portion 850d immediately after the wiring cord 854 is folded back at the standing wall portion 850b, so that a series of operations can be continuously performed. It is possible to make it possible to simplify the working process involved in the assembly.

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

  Further, in this example, after connecting the connector terminal 855 to the power supply terminal 853 facing from the opening of the power supply substrate box 850 covering the power supply substrate 851, the connector is formed by the standing wall portion 850 b projecting rearward than the rear end of the connector terminal 855 Since the wiring cord 854 extended from the rear end of the terminal 855 is folded back, the tension applied to the connector terminal 855 when the wiring cord 854 is pulled is a power supply terminal whose connection is fixed by a locking claw or the like. It becomes possible to act in such a direction as releasing the connection with the 853 and can prevent the connector terminal 855 from becoming unremovable by the wiring cord 854, and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power supply terminal 853 of the power supply substrate 851. Can be easily removed to easily perform maintenance such as substrate replacement.

  Also, the wiring cord 854 is turned back by the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply substrate box 850, and the degree of bending of the wiring cord 854 can be loosened as compared with the case where the standing wall portion 850b is absent. Unreasonable force can be prevented from acting on the 854 itself, and disconnection of the wiring cord 854 due to the unreasonable force can be prevented from occurring.

  Furthermore, the standing wall portion 850b is provided in the vicinity of the opening of the power supply substrate box 850 facing the power supply terminal 853 and, since the standing wall portion 850b is adjacent to the power supply terminal 853, it is connected to the power supply terminal 853 It becomes possible to extend the wiring cord 854 extended from the connector terminal 855 as straight as possible backward with respect to the connector terminal 855, and the joint between the connector terminal 855 and the wiring cord 854 is broken. It is possible to prevent the force from acting and to prevent the occurrence of problems such as disconnection.

  Further, since the power supply substrate box 850 covering the power supply substrate 851 is provided with the upright wall portion 850b, there is no need to provide the power supply substrate 851 with the upright wall portion 850b, and the assembly operation of the power supply substrate 851 can be facilitated. . In addition, since the power supply substrate 851 is covered with the power supply substrate box 850, it is possible to prevent dust, dirt, and the like that cause the occurrence of defects from adhering to the power supply substrate 851, and it is mounted on the power supply substrate 851. Electronic components (eg, resistors, capacitors, transistors, ICs, CPUs, memories, etc.) so that it is difficult to touch or replace them, and it is possible to increase the defense against fraud. It has become.

  The direction in which the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power terminal 853 in the power supply substrate 851 is substantially perpendicular (front-back direction) to the substrate surface, and the connector terminal is connected to the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply substrate 851. Since the force applied when connecting or disconnecting the 855 can be easily applied to the surface of the power supply substrate 851, shear force can be prevented from acting on the lead portion of the power supply terminal 853, and the lead portion can be prevented. It is possible to prevent breakage of the power supply substrate 851 and breakage of the power supply substrate 851 and breakage of the power supply substrate 851. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present invention can be configured such that a defect does not easily occur.

First, in a state where the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 101 (A), the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 abut It is in a state of In this state, the biasing force of the spring 1035 causes the first fraud prevention member 1023 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, and the stopper piece 1027 intrudes into the fraud prevention notch 1007, and the stopper piece 1027 is the fraud prevention notch An engagement notch portion 1066 formed on the lower hook member 1052 of the main frame slide lever 1050 at a position corresponding to 1007 is engaged. As a result, even if a piano wire or the like is hooked to the main frame sliding rod 1050 and pulled down, the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 are engaged with each other. It is impossible to unfairly pull down (unlock) and it is not possible to conduct an unfair act of opening the main body frame 3.

  On the other hand, when inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 and unlocking the main body frame 3 properly, as shown in FIG. 101 (B), the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated by rotating the key. The piece 1017 is pivoted to penetrate into the insertion longitudinal opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 rotates, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 abuts on the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017, so that the first fraud prevention member 1023 has a pivot shaft hole. The rotation of the stopper piece portion 1027 starts to move in the clockwise direction in the drawing around 1025, and the stopper piece portion 1027 is also moved so as to withdraw from the tamper-proof notch portion 1007. As a result, the engagement between the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is at a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. In this state, when the engagement cam 1016 is further rotated to rotate the first engagement protrusion 1017 as well, the leading end of the first engagement protrusion 1017 engages with the downward engagement hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire sliding frame 1050 for the main frame is lowered, the locked state between the hooks 1054, 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main frame 3 is released to the outer frame 2. It can be done.

  In addition, when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a state of being in contact with the control projection 1031, so the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member The positional relationship with 1032 is substantially the same as the positional relationship shown in FIG. 101 (A). When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 abut from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. Thereby, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when closing the main body frame 3. Further, in the present embodiment, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the main frame sliding wedge 1050 from being performed illegally, the main body If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened illegally, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after the release, and it is practically difficult to cheat the sliding rod with a piano wire etc. For this reason, it is devised that unauthorized operation on the main frame sliding wedge 1050 can not be performed.

  Further, even with the lock mechanism which is the first fraud prevention structure described above, it is impossible to invalidate the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, in the case where the lock function of the lock mechanism is incapacitated by an unauthorized action, in the present embodiment, when the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (the main body frame base 600), the inside The door frame sliding wedge 1040 and the main frame sliding wedge 1050 provided in the housing are completely covered by being enclosed in the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 except for the respective hook portions 1041, 1054, 1065. Since it is in the state, even if it is attempted to pull down the main frame sliding wedge 1050 provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 by inserting a piano wire etc., both side surfaces 1001a and 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001.

[1-5. Security structure of pachinko machine]
Subsequently, the crime prevention structure in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 112 and FIG. FIG. 112 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the crime prevention structure on the shaft support side of the pachinko machine. Further, FIG. 113 is a perspective view seen from the rear side with the gaming board accommodated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 112, the crime prevention structure on the shaft support side in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is a side surface on the shaft support side (left side in front view) of the main body frame base 600 formed of synthetic resin in the main body frame 3. And a metal reinforcing unit 150 attached to the rear surface of the door frame base main body 110 made of synthetic resin in the door frame 5. As shown in FIG.

  As described above, the side crime prevention plate 950 of the main body frame 3 is formed of a metal (for example, aluminum alloy) extrusion type material, and the dimension in the vertical direction is substantially the same as the dimension in the vertical direction of the main body frame base 600 In addition, the dimension in the front-rear direction is larger than the dimension in the front-rear direction of the front component 1110 and the game panel 1150 in the game board 4. The side crime prevention plate 950 extends in the vertical direction and extends in the front and rear direction. A plate-like side piece 952a which forms the side of the main body frame 3 and a front end which extends inward (open side) from the front end of the side piece 952a. A piece 952b, a middle piece 952c extending along the front end piece 952b from the side piece 952a so as to form a predetermined amount of clearance on the rear side of the front end piece 952b And a rear end piece 952d. Thus, the front end of the side security plate 950 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section opening inward (open side) by the front end piece 952 b and the middle piece 952 c.

  The side crime prevention plate 950 (main body 952) has strength and rigidity of the side crime prevention plate 950 by the front end piece 952b, the middle piece 952c, and the rear end piece 952d disposed in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the side piece 952a. It is enhanced, and the strength of the entire body frame 3 can be enhanced to support the game board 4 and the door frame 5 and the like well.

  On the other hand, as described above, the reinforcing unit 150 of the door frame 5 is formed into a frame shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the game window 101 in the door frame 5 using spot welding, rivets, etc. In the outer side of the support side reinforcing sheet metal 152 on the support side, a support U-shaped protruding piece 166 having a substantially U-shaped cross section opened to the outside (the support side) is provided. In the axially supporting reinforcing sheet metal 152 of the reinforcing unit 150, the strength of the axially supporting reinforcing sheet metal 152 is further enhanced by the axially supporting U-shaped projecting piece 166, and the axially supporting reinforcing sheet metal 152 is less likely to bend. .

  By the way, in this example, the door frame 5 is mounted and supported only at the upper and lower two points of the upper shaft support portion 156 and the lower shaft support portion 158 with respect to the main body frame 3. If an incorrect tool such as a screwdriver or a crowbar is inserted between the main frame 3 and the main frame 3, the support side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is deformed and the gap between the door frame 5 and the main frame 3 becomes large. There is a risk of fraud. On the other hand, in the crime prevention structure of this example, when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, between the front end piece 952 b and the middle piece 952 c formed inside the front end of the side crime prevention plate 950 A rear-side piece of the pivoting side U-shaped projecting piece 166 formed in a substantially U-shape of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame 5 is inserted (enters), and the front end piece 952b is axially supported. It is in a state of being sandwiched by the side U-shaped projecting pieces 166. As a result, even if the door frame 5 is forcedly opened with respect to the main body frame 3, the pivotally U-shaped projecting piece 166 of the door frame 5 abuts on the rear surface side of the front end piece 952 b of the main body frame 3. It is possible to prevent the pivoting side U-shaped projecting piece 166 from moving away from the main body frame 3, so that it is possible to prevent the closed door frame 5 from being broken open. It is possible to prevent the fraudulent action such as opening the door frame 5 against 3 being performed.

  Further, since the side crime prevention plate 950 formed of metal in the main body frame 3 and the reinforcing unit 150 formed of metal in the door frame 5 are fitted, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is The strength and the rigidity of the main frame 3 and the door frame 5 can be made less likely to be distorted by an unauthorized tool, and the security performance can be enhanced.

  Furthermore, since the rear end of the side piece 952a in the side crime prevention plate 950 extends rearward than the game panel 1150 in the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952a is tentatively assumed. Even if is destroyed, illegal tools such as a piano wire can not penetrate into the game area 1100 on the front of the game board 4 (game panel 1150) from the rear end of the side piece 952a, and cheating is performed. Can be reliably prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 112, since the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact so as to cover the outside of the side crime prevention plate 950, it is a pachinko machine 1 having a rigid side, from the side It is possible to sufficiently fight against the vandalism of Also, in general, in the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the side of the pachinko machine 1 is inserted and fixed in the frame of the island facility for installing the pachinko machine 1. From the (front) side, it is almost impossible to allow the unauthorized tool to enter behind the rear end of the middle piece 952c, and the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is further enhanced.

  Subsequently, as a crime prevention structure from the rear side in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 113, a prize ball base 710, a tank rail 731 and a prize ball device 740 in the main frame 3 accommodating the game board 4 Since the unit base 741, the full tank branch unit 770, and the back cover 900 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin, the game board 4 can be used as the rear or side of the game board 4 housed in the main frame 3. It is possible to visually recognize from the rear side of the main body frame 3 without removing it from the main body frame 3 or opening the back cover 900. As a result, even if an illegal device is attached to the rear side of the game board 4 or the like, it can be easily found, and it can be prevented that an illegal act is performed. In addition, since an unauthorized device or the like attached to the game board 4 can be easily found from the outside, it is possible to make the installation of the unauthorized device fooling, and it becomes possible to increase the deterrence against fraud. ing.

  Further, since the rear side and the side of the game board 4 can be viewed through the transparent prize ball base 710, the back cover 900, etc. from the rear side of the main body frame 3, the main body frame for maintenance or model change When you remove the game board 4 against 3, even if tools such as a screwdriver or pliers, cleaning waste, dust or dirt, etc. remain between the main unit frame 3 and the game board 4, those should be outside. As a result, it is possible to prevent any trouble from occurring and to improve the maintainability of the pachinko machine 1.

The locking piece 2555a of the slider 2555 is formed so that the approximate center of the sliding range in the left and right direction of the locking piece 2555a is located on a vertical line passing through the axial center of the movable shaft 2552, and the slider 2555 is in the left and right direction. By sliding in, the locking piece 2555a moves to the left or right beyond the vertical line passing through the axial center of the movable shaft 2552.

  In this receiving unit 2550, the lower end side of the connecting spring 2556 is engaged with the engaging piece 2555a of the slider 2555, and the engaging member 2553 whose upper end is fixed to the rear end of the movable shaft 2552 When the slider 2555 (the locking piece 2555a) slides in the left-right direction, the locking piece 2553a of the locking member 2553 is pulled in the direction in which the slider 2555 slides through the connecting spring 2556. The locking member 2553 (movable shaft 2552) is rotated. The movable valve 2551 fixed to the front end of the movable shaft 2552 is also rotated by the driving of the receiving drive motor 2558.

  In the receiving unit 2550, since the locking member 2553 and the slider 2555 are elastically connected by the connecting spring 2556, the gaming ball entering the receiving space 2530 while the movable valve 2551 is rotating is of the receiving space 2530. Even if it is intended to be sandwiched between the inner wall and the valve portion 2551b of the movable valve 2551, the valve portion 2551b can be rotated in the direction of escaping from the gaming ball by the expansion and contraction of the connecting spring 2556. Therefore, even if the movable ball 2551 is rotating and the gaming ball can not enter into the receiving space 2530 by the valve portion 2551b, depending on the timing when the gaming ball flows down, the urging force of the connecting spring 2556 by the momentum of the gaming ball In addition to being able to push the valve portion 2551b against the to move the gaming ball into the receiving space 2530, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being pinched at the entrance of the receiving space 2530, and clogging of the ball occurs. It is possible to prevent it.

  In this example, when the slider 2555 is slid leftward in the rear view, the movable shaft 2552 (movable valve 2551) is pivoted counterclockwise in the rear view (see FIG. 138A), In the receiving space 2530, the game ball can be rolled in the left direction in a front view by the movable valve 2551 (see FIG. 136). On the other hand, when the slider 2555 is slid rightward in rear view, the movable shaft 2552 (movable valve 2551) is rotated clockwise in rear view (see FIG. 138 (b)). The game ball can be rolled to the right in front view by the movable valve 2551 (see FIG. 137). Further, in this example, when the slider 2555 slides to the slide end in the right direction in rear view, the detection piece 2555e of the slider 2555 is detected by the movable valve position detection sensor 2561.

  By the way, the locking member 2553 fixed to the rear end of the movable shaft 2552 is provided with a stopper piece 2553b which can be brought into contact with the rotation restricting portion 2554c formed on the rear surface of the unit base 2554. The rotation range of the movable shaft 2552 (the movable valve 2551) can be restricted by contacting the end in the circumferential direction of the rotation restriction portion 2554c in which the piece 2553b is formed substantially in a U-shape. . Thereby, even if the game ball abuts on the valve portion 2551b of the movable valve 2551, the valve portion 2551b can be prevented from rotating downward, and the movable valve 2551 reliably turns the gaming ball in a predetermined direction. It can be moved. Further, as illustrated, the stopper piece 2553 b of the locking member 2553 is formed to become thinner toward the tip, and can exert an elastic force when in contact with the rotation restricting portion 2554 c. The impact generated by the game ball coming into contact with the valve portion 2551b of the movable valve 2551 can be mitigated by the elastic force of the stopper piece 2553b, and the valve portions 2551b and the like can be prevented from being damaged by the impact. It has become.

  Subsequently, the movement of the movable upper decorative body 2565 and the movable lower decorative body 2567 disposed behind the receiving space 2530 will be described. As described above, the receiving unit 2550 can slide the slider 2555 in the left-right direction by rotationally driving the receiving drive motor 2558. The receiving unit 2550 of this example is provided with a rack gear 2555f on the tip end side of the locking piece 2555a in the slider 2555, and has a first gear portion 2562a meshed with the rack gear 2555f by sliding the slider 2555 in the left and right direction. The transmission gear 2562 is configured to rotate.

  When the first transmission gear 2562 rotates, the second transmission gear 2563 meshed with the second gear portion 2562b of the first transmission gear 2562 rotates in the opposite direction, and further, the driven gear meshed with the second transmission gear 25563 The driven transmission member 2564 having the portion 2564 a is configured to rotate in the same direction as the first transmission gear 2562. A movable lower decorative body 2567 is attached to the front side of the driven transmission member 2564 so that the movable lower decorative body 2567 rotates in the same direction as the driven transmission member 2564 and the first transmission gear 2562. .

  On the other hand, a movable upper decoration rotatably supported via a support pin 2566 with respect to a support cylindrical portion 2554 d of the unit base 2554 by an elongated hole-shaped transmission slit 2564 d which extends in the radial direction in the driven transmission member 2564 A sliding pin 2565a extended rearward in the body 2565 is slidably inserted. The sliding pin 2565a of the movable upper decorative body 2565 is disposed between the rotation axis of the driven transmission member 2564 and the rotational axis of the movable upper decoration 2565, and the driven transmission member 2564 is a transmission slit 2564d. When it is rotated, the movable upper decorative body 2565 is rotated in the opposite direction to the driven transmission member 2564 through the support pin 2566 inserted into the transmission slit 2564 d.

  Therefore, when the receiving drive motor 2558 of the receiving unit 2550 is rotationally driven to slide the slider 2555 in the left-right direction, the movable upper decorative body 2565 and the movable lower decorative body 2567 can be rotated in different directions. It has become. As a result, when viewed from the front, the predetermined character can show the player such a movement as moving his eyebrow while tilting his head (a movable effect).

  In this example, when the slider 2555 is slid leftward in rear view, the movable upper decorative body 2565 is rotated clockwise in rear view and the movable lower decorative body 2567 is counterclockwise in rear view. It rotates in the direction (see FIG. 139 (a)). In addition, when the slider 2555 is slid rightward in rear view, the movable upper decorative body 2565 rotates counterclockwise in rear view and the movable lower decorative body 2567 rotates clockwise in rear view. (See FIG. 139 (b)).

  In addition, in the state of the position where the movable valve 2551 rolls the gaming ball leftward in a front view, the receiving unit 2550 of the center character 2500 is in a state where the movable decorative body 2565 stands substantially straight. In addition, the movable lower decorative body 2567 is in a state where its fold is positioned behind the route detection sensor 2580L on the left side (see FIG. 136). On the other hand, in the state where the movable valve 2551 rolls the gaming ball to the right in front view, the movable upper decorative body 2565 is inclined to the right, and the movable lower decorative body 2567 has its ridge on the right side It is in the state located behind the route detection sensor 2580R (see FIG. 137). Thus, the player can roll the game ball in the direction in which the game ball rolls not only by the direction of the rotational position of the valve portion 2551 b of the movable valve 2551 but also by the wrinkles of the movable lower decoration 2567 disposed behind the receiving space 2530. While being able to be made to recognize, it is possible for the player to be illusive as if the rolling destination of the game ball is determined by the wrinkles of the movable lower decoration 2567. .

  Subsequently, the movement of the gaming ball by the receiving unit 2550 in the receiving space 2530 of the center character 2500 will be described. In the receiving space 2530, the game ball is inserted into the game area 1100 so that the game ball enters between the center of the peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500 from the center in the horizontal direction and the upper right and the inner periphery of the game area 1100. It can be made to approach via the receiving approach channel 2545 by driving in. A rotatable movable valve 2551 having a valve portion 2551 b is disposed in the upper part of the receiving space 2530 in which the lower end of the receiving entrance passage 2545 is opened. The movable valve 2551 is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, about 18 seconds) in a mode (a mode illustrated in FIG. 137) in which the gaming ball is guided to the right route in the receiving space 2530. The game ball is stopped for a short time (about 2 seconds) in a mode (a mode shown in FIG. 136) in which the gaming ball is guided to the left route in the receiving space 2530. It turns so that it becomes an aspect by which a game ball is induced to the right route of. The movable valve 2551 repeatedly performs such an operation in the same pattern. Here, when the gaming balls are continuously fired, the number of gaming balls fired per minute is about 100, so the movable valve 2551 is induced to the right route in the receiving space 2530 If it stops for 18 seconds in a mode, a game ball of about 28-29 balls can be fired during this time. In addition, when the movable valve 2551 is stopped for 2 seconds in a mode in which the gaming ball is guided to the left route in the receiving space 2530, about 3-4 gaming balls can be fired during this time. Therefore, when the game ball is merely fired without aiming at the left side route or the right side route, the game ball is induced to the right side route with a higher possibility than the left side route. However, even if the player shoots the game ball at the timing when the movable valve 2551 is stopped for 2 seconds in a mode in which the game ball is guided to the left route in the reception space 2530, such game ball is The game ball is not necessarily guided to the left route as intended by the player due to the implanted obstacle nail or the like.

  When the valve part 2551b of the movable valve 2551 rises substantially vertically (see FIG. 114 etc.), the center part product 2500 is in a state where the valve part 2551b is positioned at the lower end of the reception entrance passage 2545 The game ball can not enter from the passage 2545 into the receiving space 2530. Therefore, when the gaming ball reaches the movable valve 2551 in this state, it can not enter into the receiving space 2530 and is temporarily stopped at the lower end of the receiving entrance passage 2545.

  The game balls that are to roll either the left route or the right route in the receiving space 2530 by the valve portion 2551 b of the movable valve 2551 are provided in the respective routes of the gate 2575 (left gate By passing through 2575L and right gate 2575R), it is detected by the route detection sensors 2580L and 2580R, and it is detected which route (left gate 2575L, right gate 2575R) the game ball is actually rolling It can be done.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 140 etc., the two route detection sensors 2580 are arranged at substantially the center in the vertical direction of the lower space 2532 in the receiving space 2530 and apart from the center in the horizontal direction. Therefore, a space through which the game ball can pass is formed between the two route detection sensors 2580 and on the outer side in the left-right direction of each of the two route detection sensors 2580. Thus, when the game ball can not pass through the route detection sensor 2580 for some reason, the game ball can be made to flow down the side of the route detection sensor 2580 to the bottom portion 2533 and be discharged from the discharge port 2534. In the space 2530, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being stuck and clogging the ball.

  In this example, it is detected which of the two gates 2575 (left gate 2575L and right gate 2575R) arranged on the left and right the gaming ball has passed, and as will be described later, a large hit described later according to the passing destination. I try to make the form different. For example, when it is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R, it is determined to be a jackpot game mode (9 rounds) where payout of a fixed amount (the amount of winning balls obtainable in 9 rounds) can be expected, and the route detection sensor 2580L. When it is detected, the jackpot game mode (3 rounds, 6 rounds) in which only the amount of prize balls below a certain amount (the amount of prize balls that does not reach the amount of prize balls that can be earned in 9 rounds) is paid out and exceeds a certain amount The amount of winning balls (the amount of winning balls exceeding the amount of winning balls that can be acquired in the 9th round) is determined by lottery at any of the modes (15th round) of the jackpot game to be paid out. In this way, the desired route detection sensor 2580 is made to aim for the game ball to be detected by measuring the hitting timing of the game ball according to the movement of the movable valve 2551 which operates periodically. It is possible to However, although the details will be described later, even if the player shoots the game ball at the timing when the game ball passes the left gate 2575L (detected by the route detection sensor 2580L), the game ball does not move the left gate 2575L. If one ball passes through the right gate 2575R before it passes, even if the game ball passes through the left gate 2575L after that, detection of the game ball by the route detection sensor 2580L is invalidated ( Similarly, when one game ball passes through the left gate 2575L before the game ball passes the right gate 2575R, even if the game ball passes the right gate 2575R thereafter, the game by the route detection sensor 2580R Detection of the ball is invalidated). Therefore, if the player shoots the game ball by aiming the game ball to pass through the left gate 2575L, the possibility of the game ball passing through the left gate 2575L is higher than when the game ball is not aimed, but even a little If the timing deviates, it may happen that the game ball does not necessarily pass through the left gate 2575L but passes through the right gate 2575R.

  Here, the jackpot game mode in which a prize ball amount exceeding a certain amount can be paid out is a certain amount (for example, when nine rounds of jackpot games are executed like the 15 rounds jackpot game described later) It corresponds to the aspect of the jackpot game in which the winning balls exceeding the winning winning amount) are paid out. That is, in a pachinko gaming machine, an average value (average profit) of the amount of prize balls paid out in one jackpot game based on a prescribed probability such as the probability of winning in the jackpot lottery and the probability that the high probability state continues. Or, the amount of prize balls to be paid out in the jackpot game executed based on one first jackpot (that is, the amount of prize balls paid out in one or more jackpot games executed until the continuation of the high probability state ends The average value of) is determined. The jackpot game mode in which the fixed amount of winning balls is paid out corresponds to a jackpot game mode in which the average profit calculated based on the prescribed probability can be expected to be provided to the player.

  Further, in this example, the discharge port 2534 for discharging the gaming ball from the receiving space 2530 is disposed in the lower right corner of the receiving space 2530 in a front view, so that it rolls in the left direction by the movable valve 2551 The time for staying in the receiving space 2530 is different between the game ball that has become and the game ball that is to roll to the right. Therefore, in the two game balls continuously driven into the game area 1100, the game ball driven first rolls to the left by the movable valve 2551, and the game ball driven later moves to the right by the movable valve 2551. When two game balls are hit at a timing where it rolls in the direction, the game balls hit later in the receiving space 2530 will catch up with the previously hit game balls, and the two game balls are substantially aligned. It is possible to discharge from the discharge port 2534 in a false state (see FIG. 140). As a result, the game balls discharged in a line from the receiving space 2530 are discharged in a state of being lined up upstream of the big winning opening 2103 of the attacker unit 2100. A ball can be received, and more game balls can be received into the big winning opening 2103.

  Specifically, for example, in a big hit game etc. where the big winning opening 2103 can be accepted, the opening and closing of the big winning opening 2103 is performed by the elapsed time of the open state or the number of accepted game balls, and the predetermined When a predetermined number of gaming balls are received in time, the special winning opening 2103 is closed. In this special winning opening 2103, since there is a time lag between the game ball passing through the opening of the special winning opening 2103 and the detection by the count sensor 2122, it takes a short time until the special winning opening 2103 is closed. If it is possible to enter the game ball into the big winning opening 2103, it becomes possible to win more game balls than a predetermined number, but in normal rolling of the game ball, the interval of the game balls is not reduced so much It was difficult to enter multiple game balls. However, as described above, since the game balls can be released to the large winning opening 2103 side in a state of being substantially aligned by the receiving space 2530 and the movable valve 2551, two gaming balls are displayed at the moment the big winning opening 2103 closes. It becomes possible to enter the special winning opening 2103, and it is possible to win more game balls than a predetermined number.

  Further, although the center character 2500 is not described in detail, a decorative member which is formed in a predetermined shape and which decorates the center character 2500 at an appropriate position, and a predetermined character along the concept of the pachinko machine 1 are three-dimensionally And a decorative substrate having a plurality of LEDs on the rear side of the decorative member and the character body, so that the decorative member and the like can be appropriately decorated to emit light. There is. In the center character 2500, a decorative member for decorating the rear side of the stage 2510 is opaque, and the player unit side 4003 of the rear unit 3000 disposed on the rear side can be seen from the player in a normal state It is not supposed to.

  Further, in the center product 2500 of this example, the outer periphery of the peripheral wall 2503 on the right side of the approximate center in the left-right direction in a front view substantially follows the inner periphery of the game area 1100 (the inner periphery of the front component 1110A) When attached to the panel plate 1210 of the game panel 1200, a gap slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball is formed along the outer periphery of the right peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500. The game ball can be easily hit into the reception space 2530 through the reception entry path 2545 by right-handling, and the game ball is accepted with high probability in the special winning opening 2103 of the attacker unit 2100. It is supposed to be In addition, in a state where the center character 2500 is attached to the panel board 1210, an area of a predetermined width is formed on the outer periphery on the left side of the center character 2500 with the inner circumference of the game area 1100. .

  Also, although the first movable decorative body 3312 of the back upper side unit 3300 is not shown in detail, the surface member has translucency, and the back upper side first decoration in which a plurality of LEDs are mounted inside A substrate is provided so that the first movable decorative body 3312 can be appropriately decorated to emit light. Moreover, although the detailed illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the member of the surface has translucency, and the 2nd movable decoration 3318 is equipped with the back upper side 2nd decoration board by which several LED was mounted in the inside. The second movable decorative body 3318 can be appropriately decorated to emit light.

  Subsequently, the movement of the back-up effect unit 3200 will be described. In the back-up effect unit 3200 of this example, as shown in FIG. 159, in the normal state, the back-up center unit 3210 is at the rising position where the first lifting and lowering decoration 3218 and the second lifting and lowering decoration 3250 are rising ends. It is located at a retracted position where the first movable decorative body 3312 and the second movable decorative body 3318 respectively disposed on the left and right of the back upper side unit 3300 are apart from each other and the arms are open. ing. In this normal state, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 provided in the second raising and lowering decoration 3250 is partially visible from the lower side of the first raising and lowering decoration 3218.

  More specifically, in this normal state, the pinion gear 3220 meshes with the pinion gear 3220 near the lower end of the rack gear 3216c extending in the vertical direction in the first slide base 3216 of the back upper center unit 3210. Also, in a direction in which the first connecting pin 3238c and the second connecting pin 3240b of the first gear member 3238 and the second gear member 3240 in the back upper center unit 3210 are separated from each other from the substantially rising end (top dead center) in the revolving locus. The first connection pin 3238 c and the second connection pin 3240 b are in contact with the outer end of the slit 3242 a of the drive slide 3242 respectively. Thereby, a downward force acts on the first connection pin 3238 c and the second connection pin 3240 b via the second slide base 3248 and the drive slide 3242 by the load of the second raising / lowering decorative body 3250 or the second liquid crystal display device 3252. Thus, even if the first connection pin 3238c and the second connection pin 3240b try to move away from each other, the first connection pin 3238c and the second connection pin 3240b abut on the outer end of the slit 3242a. One connecting pin 3238c and the second connecting pin 3240b can not move away from each other, and the state in which the first connecting pin 3238c and the second connecting pin 3240b stop rotating is maintained, and the back upper second drive A load is not applied to the motor 3234.

  On the other hand, in the normal state of the back upper side unit 3300, the transmission pin 3308b of the transmission gear member 3308 for rotating the drive link member 3310 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the guide groove 3310a and rotates the transmission gear member 3308 It is located closer to the rotation center of the drive link member 3310 than the axis passing through the axis and is in contact with the proximal end of the guide groove 3310a. Thus, the load acting on the connecting portion 3312c side of the first movable decorative body 3312 causes a force to move the connecting portion 3312c relatively downward, acting on the first movable decorative body 3312, whereby the drive link member The force acting to rotate the transmission gear member 3308 acts on the action piece 3310b of the movement member 3310, and the force acts to revolve the transmission pin 3308b of the transmission gear member 3308 by the force. Since the pin 3308b is in contact with the proximal end of the guide groove 3310a, the transmission pin 3308b can not revolve and the rotation of the drive link member 3310 (first movable decorative body 3312) is blocked. Normal condition is maintained. Thus, in the normal state, no load is applied to the back and top side drive motor 3304.

  When the first gear member 3238 is rotationally driven to rotate clockwise in a front view by the back upper second drive motor 3234 from the normal state, the first gear member 3238 is The first connection pin 3238c starts to revolve clockwise in a front view, and the second connection pin 3240b of the second gear member 3240 rotates counterclockwise. The relative positions of the first connection pin 3238c and the second connection pin 3240b change with each other by revolving, so that they slide in the slit 3242a of the drive slide 3242 and at the same time the vertical position of the drive slide 3242 becomes It will change. In this example, when the drive slide 3242 (second raising and lowering decorative body 3250) slightly rises from the raised position until the first connection pin 3238c and the second connection pin 3240b reach the top dead center, and the top slide is exceeded. The drive slide 3242 will be lowered.

  Then, when the first connection pin 3238 c and the second connection pin 3240 b reach the bottom dead center, the drive slide 3242 (second raising and lowering decorative body 3250) is positioned at the lowest position and the back upper second drive motor 3234. Stop the rotational drive of In a state where the second raising and lowering decoration 3250 is located at the lowered position, as shown in FIG. 160, the head of a predetermined character composed of the first raising and lowering decoration 3218 and the second raising and lowering decoration 3250 has its mouth Of the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be seen from the inside of the mouth to the player side.

  When the driving gear 3226 is rotationally driven in a predetermined direction by the first back driving motor 3228 with the second raising / lowering decorative body 3250 of the back upper center unit 3210 positioned at the lowered position, the front view meshed with the driving gear 3226 As the transmission gear 3222 on the right side rotates, the transmission gear 3222 on the opposite side simultaneously rotates in the same direction simultaneously via the connection shaft 3224, and the pinion gears 3220 meshed with the respective transmission gears 3222 rotate. The first slide base 3216 (first raising and lowering decorative body 3218) slides downward from the raised position by the rack gear 3216c meshed with the first slide base 3216c. In the first slide base 3216, the first slide base 3216 slides smoothly without rattling since the first slide base 3216 is simultaneously moved up and down by the rack gear 3216c which is separated to the left and right.

  Then, when the first slide base 3216 reaches the lowering end, the back upper first drive motor 3228 is stopped, and the first raising / lowering decorative body 3218 is in the lowering position. In this state, the relative positional relationship between the first raising and lowering decorative body 3218 and the second raising and lowering decorative body 3250 is substantially the same as in the normal state, and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is small from the mouth It becomes. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 161, the back upper center decoration member 3254 can be visually recognized from the player side on the upper side of the first elevation decoration 3218. In this state, the back upper center decoration member 3254 is By appropriately emitting the LEDs of the middle upper decorative substrate, it is possible to show the player a light emission effect such as a rotating light.

  In addition, in order to restore the normal state (state of the rising position), the first lifting and lowering decoration body 3218 and the second lifting and lowering decoration body 3250 may be returned to the lifting position by performing driving reverse to the above. it can. Further, in this example, due to its structure, it is not possible to place the first lifting and lowering decoration 3218 in the lowering position while the second lifting and lowering decoration 3250 is in the rising position.

  On the other hand, in the back-up side unit 3300 in the back-up effect unit 3200, as shown in FIG. 162A, in the normal state, the front end side (the connection portion 3312c side) of the first movable decorative body 3312 on the left and right is It is in a state of being away from each other, and a predetermined character is in a state of holding arms (nozzles) in both hands and spreading arms. In this normal state, the rear upper side drive motor 3304 of the rear upper side unit 3300 is driven to properly drive the drive gear 3306 (clockwise in front view, right direction in front view) When it is rotationally driven, the transmission gear member 3308 meshing with the drive gear 3306 is rotated, and the transmission pin 3308 b revolves around a predetermined radius.

  When the transmission pin 3308 b revolves, the relative position of the transmission pin 3308 b moves, so the transmission pin 3308 b slides in the guide groove 3310 a of the drive link member 3310 and is simultaneously pressed by the transmission pin 3308 b. The drive link member 3310 pivots so that the tip end side moves downward, and the first movable decorative body 3312 pivots together with the drive link member 3310.

  In the back upper side unit 3300, parallel links are formed by the first movable decorative body 3312, the second movable decorative body 3318, and the arm member 3316, and the front end side of the first movable decorative body 3312 (connecting portion 3312c side When the first movable decorative body 3312 is pivoted so as to move downward), the arm member 3316 is rotated in the same manner as the first movable decorative body 3312, while the second movable decorative body 3318 is directed in the same direction. It moves as if the position moves. Thereby, the 2nd movable decoration 3318 shown in Drawing 162 (b) approached each other from the state of a retreating position shown in Drawing 162 (a) in the 1st movable decoration 3312 and the 2nd movable decoration 3318 on either side. It will be in the state of the appearance position.

  In order to restore the first movable decorative body 3312, the second movable decorative body 3318, and the like to the normal state (state of the retracted position), the first movable decorative body 3312 and the second movable decorative body 3312 are The second movable decorative body 3318 or the like can be returned to the normal state.

  As described above, according to the back-up effect unit 3200 of this example, since the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is provided separately from the normal liquid crystal display device 1900, the effect image is displayed on two different display devices. The player can be presented with a completely different effect from the display effects so far, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  In addition, since the small second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be moved to the front of the large liquid crystal display device 1900, collaboration between the effect image of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the effect image of the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is enjoyed It is possible to enhance the interest of the player.

  In the back-up center unit 3210, the second lifting and lowering decorative body 3250 supporting the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is detachably supported to the second slide base 3248 which is driven to move up and down in the vertical direction. Therefore, even when a problem occurs in the second liquid crystal display device 3252, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 (second raising and lowering decorative body 3250) can be easily separated from the back upper center unit 3210 and replaced. The operation rate of the pachinko machine 1 can be increased by reducing the time and effort required for the pachinko machine 1, and when discarding the pachinko machine 1, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be easily removed, and the recyclability is enhanced. Pachinko machine 1 can be made friendly.

It can be done. In addition, the code | symbol 3548 in the figure is a cable presser for pressing down the flexible flat cable (FFC) which connects the decoration board 3546 for back bottom front, and the back bottom relay board 3488.

  Next, the movement of the lower back rendering unit 3400 in this example will be described. Under normal conditions, as shown in FIG. 171, a pair of back lower rear side decorative bodies 3420 spaced apart in the lateral direction and extending in an arc shape are directed in the direction in which their respective tips are separated from each other. It is in a rotated state. In this state, the lower back rear side decoration 3420 is positioned to the left and right outside of the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900 (in the retracted position), and the left lower back rear decoration 3420 functions as a center. It is hidden behind the object 2500 and the back front decoration unit 3100 and hardly visible from the player side.

  In addition, the back bottom back decoration unit 3450 in the back bottom rendering unit 3400 is lowered downward and hidden behind the back bottom front unit 3500 (in the retracted position), and in this state the liquid crystal display It is located lower than the front of the device 1900 and hardly visible to the player.

  Further, the back lower front inner decoration 3506 and the pair of back lower front side decorations 3530 of the back lower front unit 3500 in the lower back rendering unit 3400 are respectively located at the falling end, and the pair of back lower front side decorations The distal end side of the 3530 is lower than the proximal end side. In this state, each of the back lower front inner decoration 3506 and the pair of back lower front side decorations 3530 is positioned lower than the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 (in the retracted position), It is almost invisible from the person's side.

  More specifically, in the normal state of the underside rendering unit 3400, the first link member 3414 and the second link member 3416 for rotating the left and right underside back side decoration 3420 are respectively relative to the rotation axis. The action pieces 3414 b and 3416 b are in the rotational position so as to extend obliquely upward. In this state, the first cam pins 3410 b and the second cam pins 3412 b of the first cam gear 3410 and the second cam gear 3412 inserted into the slits 3414 a and 3416 a of the first link member 3414 and the second link member 3416 have While being at the top dead center, the first cam pin 3410 b and the second cam pin 3412 b are in contact with the distal end of the slits 3414 a and 3416 a.

  In this normal state, even if the force that causes the first link member 3414 and the second link member 3416 to rotate due to the weight of the lower back rear side decoration 3420 acts on the first cam pin 3410 b and the second cam pin 3412 b, The first cam pin 3410b and the second cam pin 3412b act to move the first cam pin 3410b and the second cam pin 3412b toward the distal end side of the slits 3414a and 3416a, so the first cam pin 3410b and the second cam pin 3412b are the tips of the slits 3414a and 3416a. Since it abuts on the side end, revolution of the first cam pin 3410 b and the second cam pin 3412 b is prevented. As a result, the back bottom back side decoration 3420 can be maintained in a normal state without applying a load to the back bottom back side drive motor 3404. In the normal state, the detection piece 3414d of the first link member 3414 is in a state detected by the back lower back side rotation detection sensor 3432.

  Further, in the back and back back and in back decoration 3450 in the normal state, the tip of the arm portion 3472 a of the lifting and lowering arm member 3472 slidably connected to the guide hole 3452 c of the slider base 3452 in the back and back back and back decoration 3450 Is extended obliquely downward from the rotation center. In this example, in this state, the biasing force of the assist spring 3486 acts on the lift arm member 3472 in a direction in which the tip end side of the arm portion 3472a is lifted. In the normal state, the detection piece 3472c of the lift arm member 3472 is in a state where it is detected by the back lower back middle rise detection sensor 3480.

  Furthermore, in the back bottom front unit 3500 in the normal state, the back bottom front slider 3504 is positioned at the lowering end, and the movable slider 3524 supported by the back bottom front slider 3504 so as to be capable of lifting is a driving spring 3526 It is located at a position relatively raised with respect to the back and front slider 3504 by the biasing force. In this state, the pair of long holes 3524a of the movable slider 3524 are located above the rotation center of the back lower front side decoration 3530, and the sliding of the back lower front side decoration 3530 inserted in the long hole 3524a By the pin 3532, the front end side of the back lower front side decoration 3530 is in a state of being lowered downward.

  From this normal state, when the drive gear 3510 is rotationally driven in a predetermined direction (clockwise direction in front view) by the back lower front drive motor 3508 of the back lower front unit 3500, rotation is performed via the intermediate gear 3512. The back lower front slider 3504 is slid upward by the rack gear 3504a which is transmitted to 3514 and engaged with the operation gear 3514. Since the positional relationship between the back lower front slider 3504 and the movable slider 3524 does not change even if the back lower front slider 3504 ascends, the tip side of the pair of back lower front side decorative bodies 3530 is lowered as in the normal state. In this state, the whole is lifted with the back and front slider 3504 (see FIG. 172).

  When the back lower front slider 3504 ascends to a certain extent, the projection 3524 c of the movable slider 3524 supported by the back lower front slider 3504 abuts on the contact portion 3502 b of the back lower front base 3502 to prevent the movable slider 3524 from rising. Will be Then, when the back bottom front drive motor 3508 is driven so that the back bottom front slider 3504 is further raised in a state where the movable slider 3524 is prevented from rising by the abutment portion 3502b of the back bottom front base 3502, the back bottom front The slider 3504 is further raised against the biasing force of the drive spring 3526. As a result, the relative position between the back lower front slider 3504 and the movable slider 3524 changes in the vertical direction, and the long hole 3524 a of the movable slider 3524 moves downward of the rotation center of the back lower front side decoration 3530 By doing this, the back lower front side decoration 3530 is pivoted in the direction in which the tip end side rises (see FIG. 173).

  When the back bottom front slider 3504 of the back bottom front unit 3500 rises to the rising end, as shown in FIG. 173, the pair of back bottom front side decorations 3530 pivots to a position where the tip side extends obliquely upward. A predetermined character imitated by the back and front back decoration 3506 is in a state in which the wings are spread. In this state, the back lower front inner decoration 3506 and the pair of back lower front side decorations 3530 are moved from the lower side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the front (state of appearance position), and can be sufficiently viewed from the player. become able to. In addition, by performing reverse driving to the above, it is possible to restore the back-to-back front middle decoration 3506 and the pair of back-to-back front side decorations 3530 to a normal state.

  On the other hand, when the drive gear 3474 is rotationally driven in a predetermined direction (clockwise direction in front view) by the drive motor 3476 from the normal state, the lifting arm member 3472 is engaged with the drive gear 3474 by the gear portion 3472 b. However, the tip end side of the arm portion 3472a is turned so as to be lifted, and it is pushed by the tip end of the arm portion 3472a so that the back decoration 3450 can be raised. Then, in a state where the back bottom back middle decoration 3450 is positioned at the rising end, a state where the decoration main body 3454 of the back bottom back middle decoration 3450 is positioned from the lower side to the front side than the liquid crystal display device 1900 State) and can be viewed by the player (see FIG. 174).

  The back bottom rear middle decoration 3450 is placed on the front of the main body 3454 when the back bottom pointer drive motor 3460 is appropriately rotated and driven in the state of rising to the rising end (the state of the appearance position). An arrow-shaped pointer member 3458 can be rotated like a clock hand (see FIG. 175). In addition, by performing the drive reverse to the above, it is possible to restore the back-and-back middle decoration 3450 to a normal state.

  In addition, when the back lower front slider 3504 of the back lower front unit 3500 is raised to the rising end (appearing position) in the state where the back decoration back 3450 is raised to the rising end (state of the appearance position), A back-to-back front inside decoration 3506 and a pair of back-to-front front side decorations 3530 are positioned on the front side of the back-to-back decoration 3450 so as to hide the back-back back-to-back decoration 3450 ( See Figure 176).

  Furthermore, when the drive gear 3406 is rotationally driven in a predetermined direction (clockwise direction in front view) by the lower back side drive motor 3404 from the normal state, the first cam gear 3410 moves in the same direction via the intermediate gear 3408. Simultaneously with the rotation, the second cam gear 3412 rotates in the reverse direction. In this example, the first cam gear 3410 and the second cam gear 3412 rotate such that the first cam pins 3410 b and the second cam pins 3412 b of the first cam gear 3410 and the second cam gear 3412 respectively revolve in a direction away from each other. .

  Then, the first cam gear 3410 and the second cam gear 3412 rotate respectively, whereby the first cam pin 3410 b and the second cam pin 3412 b located at the top dead center revolve in the direction of the bottom dead center. The first cam pin 3410b and the second cam pin 3412b slide in the slits 3414a and 3416a, and are pushed by the first cam pin 3410b and the second cam pin 3412b so that the first link member 3414 and the second link member 3416 respectively function the action piece 3414b. , 3416b in the downward direction, and the left and right back lower side decoration 3420 rotate in the same direction as the first link member 3414 and the second link member 3416, respectively.

  Then, by stopping the rotation of the back lower back side drive motor 3404 so that the tips of the left and right back lower back side decoration 3420 abut each other, a pair of back lower back side decorations formed in a substantially arc shape Body 3420 is now in a state of ringing together (see FIG. 177). In this state, the pair of back lower back side decorations 3420 are moved from the left and right sides of the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the front (the state of the appearance position), and can be sufficiently viewed by the player. In addition, by performing the drive reverse to the above, the back and bottom back side decoration 3420 can be returned to the normal state.

  In the under-back effect unit 3400 of this example, the under-back back-and-back decorative body 3450 is raised and the back-back back-side decoration body 3420 is pivoted to be positioned at the ring-shaped appearance position. When placed on the back side, the inside of the pair of back and back side decorations 3420 becomes like being buried by the back and back inside decoration 3450, and it becomes like the appearance of a large decoration. (See Figure 178). As a result, the player can be greatly surprised, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. In the state in which the back decoration 3450 is raised to the appearance position first, the back decoration 3420 may be turned to the appearance position in the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900. It is possible to perform such a movable effect that the decorative body gradually increases in size.

  Also, with the pair of back side back side decoration 3420 and the back side back middle back decoration 3450 being positioned at the appearance position, the back side front slider 3504 is raised to their front side, back side back middle A decorative body 3506 and a back lower front side decorative body 3530 may be made to appear, and an annular back lower back side decorative body 3420 located on the back side of the back lower front inner decorative body 3506 and the back lower front side decorative body 3530 As a result, the back lower front middle decoration 3506 and the back lower front side decoration 3530 can be made to stand out (see FIG. 179). In addition, in this case, the back, bottom, back, and inside decoration 3450 may be in the state of the retracted position which is the normal state (see FIG. 180).

  As described above, according to the back down rendering unit 3400 of this example, a variety of movable effects can be performed, and the player can be entertained and can not easily get bored, and the interest for the player's game decreases. Can be suppressed.

[2-10. Jackpot mode determination effect unit]
Next, the back lower right rendering unit 3600 in the back unit 3000 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 181 to 185. FIG. 181 is a front view of the back lower right rendering unit, and FIG. 182 is a front view of the jackpot determination effect device that constitutes the back lower right rendering unit.

Further, FIG. 185 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B in FIG. 182, and shows the flow of gaming balls.

  The lower right lower rendering unit 3600 of the lower unit 3000 of the present embodiment is attached from the lower right corner to the right side of the opening 3010 b in a front view of the lower box 3010. The back lower right rendering unit 3600 is provided with a jackpot mode determining rendering device 3610 to which the gaming ball having passed the left gate 2575L is led. The jackpot mode determination effect device 3610 functions as a device that determines which one of 3 rounds, 6 rounds, and 15 rounds of jackpot games is to be performed, and displays the determined moment as an effect image , A left gate passage ball passage 3620, a clune 3630, a stage 3640 formed between the left gate passage ball passage 3620 and the clune 3630, a left gate passage ball discharge passage 3650, and a jackpot determination gate 3660 , A jackpot determination gate detection sensor 3665, and a mini liquid crystal display 3670. The clune 3630 and the stage 3640 are housed in the case body 3615, and the case body 3615, the left gate passage ball passage 3620, the clune 3630, the stage 3640 and the left gate passage ball discharge passage 3650 are all made of transparent resin. It is done.

  The left gate passage ball passage 3620 is a passage through which the game ball having passed the left gate 2575L can roll, and the depth direction passage 3621 for guiding the game ball having passed the left gate 2575L backward as viewed from the player It has a height direction passage 3622 which communicates with the direction passage 3621 and guides the gaming balls rolled on the depth direction passage 3621 downward. The gaming balls guided to the height direction passage 3622 are released to the stage 3640. The gaming balls released to the stage 3640 drop into the clone 3630 immediately or after rolling left and right on the stage 3640. Only one hole 3632 is formed in the clone 3630, and the game ball can roll around the hole 3632. Between the stage 3640 and the hole 3632, a weir plate 3634 is provided upright so that the gaming ball dropped from the clone 3630 does not immediately fall from the hole 3632.

  The gaming balls dropped from the stage 3640 to the clone 3630 roll around the holes 3632 and drop from the holes 3632 when the momentum of the rolling disappears. A jackpot mode determination gate 3660 and a jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 for detecting that the gaming ball has passed through the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 are provided immediately below the hole 3632. The jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 is activated based on the game ball having passed the left gate 2575L. And, when the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 is activated, and the gaming ball is detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, any of the 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds of jackpot games will be executed It will be decided. The jackpot determination gate detection sensor 3665 is not activated, such as when the condition device is not operating or when the gaming ball has not yet been detected by the route detection sensor 2580 (2580L, 2580R) although the condition device has been activated Sometimes, even if the game ball passes the jackpot mode decision gate 3660, the judgment of the jackpot game mode (determination of which of the 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds of jackpot games to execute) is not performed .

  The mini liquid crystal display 3670 is disposed in the vicinity of the lower side of the clune 3630 so that the effect image displayed in the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670 and the mode in which the gaming ball falls the clune 3630 can be viewed simultaneously. ing. Although not shown, a mini liquid crystal display control device equipped with a CPU for controlling the display effect displayed on the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670 is disposed behind the mini liquid crystal display 3670. Although details will be described later, in the mini liquid crystal display 3670, for example, 15 rounds of jackpot games are expected to be executed based on the fact that the game ball passes the left gate 2575 and is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L. Display effects are performed. Then, based on the game ball passing through the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 and being detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, which of the 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds of jackpot games will be executed Is determined.

  As described above, when the gaming ball driven toward the game area 1100 is guided to the left route (the route toward the left gate 2575L), the gaming ball passes the left gate passage ball passage 3620, the clone 3630 and the stage 3640. After rolling, it passes through the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 and is detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, and a jackpot game to be executed is determined. Therefore, until the game ball led to the left route passes the jackpot determination gate 3660 in order to secure the execution time of the display effect in the mini liquid crystal display 3670 for the left gate passage ball passage 3620, the clone 3630 and the stage 3640. Function as a delay means for delaying the time of

  However, if it takes time for the game ball led to the left route to pass through the jackpot mode determination gate 3660, between the game ball passing through the left gate 2575L and the jackpot mode determination gate 3660, Another game ball may be led to the right route (route toward the right gate 2575R). Therefore, although details will be described later, when the game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L, the detection of the game ball by the route detection sensor 2580R is invalidated even if the game ball passes the right gate 2575R. . Thereby, another game ball is led to the right route and passes the right gate 2575R while the game ball passes the left gate 2575L and passes the jackpot determination gate 3660. It becomes possible to prevent being determined to be a game.

[Measures to prevent abnormal noise generation]
The door frame 5 is equipped with various sound facilities, and equipment requiring power such as LEDs and sensors, and a door frame base substrate 194 is attached to the back surface of the door frame 5 (FIG. 25). The door frame base substrate 194 includes the side speakers 130, the upper speakers 222 and 262 (FIGS. 29 and 32) of the left and right side decoration units, and the lower speakers 821 (FIG. 67) in the speaker box 820 provided in the main body frame 3. It is connected to the bass speaker (FIG. 89) and connected to the peripheral control board 4010 provided on the game board 4 to amplify the audio signal sent from the peripheral control board 4010 and output it to each speaker An amplifier circuit (digital amplifier circuit) is provided.

  In the ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540, since game balls (metals) pass at a high speed while in contact with the passage wall, electrostatic charge is accumulated in the polycarbonate of this part, and may reach 10 several kV Some (3-4kV at most even if you feel pain due to discharge of accumulated electrostatic charge). Also, unlike metals, the charges accumulated in the resin, even if grounded, are only removed from the very periphery, and most of them remain.

  Then, the digital amplifier circuit (not shown) of the door frame base substrate 194 in proximity to this may malfunction due to electrostatic induction due to this charge. In this case, an abnormal audio signal continuing for a certain period is input to the voice coil of the speaker, or the audio signal by the digital amplifier circuit is extremely amplified and exceeds the proper amplification width (when it becomes an excessive AC voltage). Occur. In such a case, for example, a broken sound may be generated from the speaker, or the sound reproduced by the speaker may be a loud unpleasant sound (an abnormal sound may be generated), and the player may feel an unpleasant sound. . In addition, the speaker may be damaged, which is not good for the speaker. Although the digital amplifier circuit has a DC voltage cut function on the input side, it is usually absent on the output side.

  Since the woofer of the lower speaker 821 is difficult to hear, the output tends to be set larger.

  The embodiment described below detects whether an audio signal output from the door frame base substrate 194 to the lower speaker 821 is the above-described abnormal audio signal, and is an abnormal audio signal.

  As for voice output, as described above, peripheral control MPU 4140a incorporates a plurality of parallel I / O ports, serial I / O ports, etc., and receives various commands from main control board 4100. Based on this, a control signal (sound command) for extracting sound information from the sound ROM 4140 d is output to the sound source IC 4140 c (FIG. 188).

As described above, the audio signal output from the door frame base substrate 194 through the abnormal audio signal blocking substrate 884 is supplied and input to the lower speaker 821.

  By the way, as for the arrangement place of the abnormal sound signal interception board 884 in main part frame 3, it is desirable that it is a place which is hard to receive the influence of static electricity noise. In the present embodiment, the abnormal sound signal blocking substrate 884 is disposed at a location distant from the far cover unit 540, for example, inside the speaker box 820 shown in FIG. As described above, by disposing the abnormal sound signal blocking substrate 884 in a portion that is less susceptible to the influence of electrostatic noise, input of an abnormal sound signal to the lower speaker 821 can be stably suppressed.

The other is input to the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885.

[Abnormal voice signal detection circuit]
The abnormal voice signal detection circuit 885 includes a rectifying bridge circuit formed by connecting four diodes SD1 to SD4 in a bridge form, a resistor SR1 (47 k.OMEGA.)

  Furthermore, the cathode terminal of the diode SD1 and the cathode terminal of the diode SD2 are electrically connected, and the anode terminal of the diode SD3 and the anode terminal of the diode SD4 are electrically connected to constitute a rectification bridge circuit. The cathode terminal of the diode SD2 is connected to a + voltage line 890 for supplying the positive voltage rectified by the rectification bridge circuit to the rear stage, while the anode terminal of the diode SD4 is connected to the rectifier bridge to the rear stage. The circuit is connected to a 0V line 891 which supplies 0V whose negative portion has been cut and the voltage is substantially 0V.

  Then, in the subsequent stage of the rectification bridge circuit, one end of the resistor SR1 is connected to the + voltage line 890, the other end of the resistor SR1 is connected to the + terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1, and the-terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is 0V line 891. It is connected.

  That is, the woofer + signal and the woofer signal rectified by the rectifying bridge circuit (+ voltage waveform in which the high and low peaks of the audio signal waveform are continuously connected to each other with 0 V as the connection point) are electrolyzed via the resistor SR1. By being applied to the + terminal of the capacitor SC1, the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged in the period from 0 V of the waveform of the + voltage to the peak voltage of the mountain, and the period from the peak voltage of the peak of the waveform of + voltage to 0 V The electrolytic capacitor SC1 is designed to discharge. The time constant of charging and discharging in the series circuit (smoothing circuit) of the resistor SR1 and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is determined by the resistance value of the resistor SR1 and the capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor SC1.

  One end of the capacitor SC2 is connected to the + voltage line 890 at a stage subsequent to the connection point of the resistor SR1 of the + voltage line 890, and the other end of the capacitor SC2 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor STR1. The base terminal of the transistor STR1 is connected to the other end of the capacitor SC2, and also connected to the other end of the resistor SR3 whose one end is connected to the connection point of the resistor SR1 and the electrolytic capacitor SC1. That is, the voltage at the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR1 via the resistor SR3. Further, ripples of the waveform of the positive voltage are removed and smoothed by the capacitor SC2.

  The collector terminal of the transistor STR1 is connected to the + voltage line 890 after the connection point of the capacitor SC2 of the + voltage line 890, and a smoothed woofer signal, that is, + voltage is applied after rectification. The emitter terminal of the transistor STR1 is connected to one end of the resistor SR2, the other end of the resistor SR2 is connected to one end of the resistor SR4, and the other end of the resistor SR4 is connected to the 0V line 891. The resistors SR2 and SR4 are voltage dividing resistors.

  One end of the resistor SR5 is connected to a connection point between the resistor SR2 and the resistor SR4, the other end of the resistor SR5 is connected to the cathode terminal of the zener diode SZD1, and the anode terminal of the zener diode SZD1 is connected to one end of the resistor SR6 The other end of the resistor SR6 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor STR2. Further, one end of a resistor SR7 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor STR2, and the other end of the resistor SR7 is connected to the 0 V line 891.

  That is, the voltage at one end of the resistor SR7 appearing based on the output voltage of the emitter of the transistor STR1 is applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR2.

  On the other hand, the anode terminal of the diode SD5 is connected to the + voltage line 890 at the latter stage of the connection point of the + voltage line 890 to the collector terminal of the transistor STR1, and the cathode terminal of the diode SD5 is the anode terminal of the infrared diode of the photocoupler SPC1. It is connected to the. The cathode terminal of the infrared diode of the photocoupler SPC1 is connected to the collector terminal of the transistor STR2, and the emitter terminal of the transistor STR2 is connected to the 0 V line 891.

  That is, when the transistor STR2 is turned on, the photocoupler SPC1 is turned on.

[Abnormal voice signal cutoff circuit]
The abnormal sound signal cutoff circuit 895 mainly includes the phototransistor of the photocoupler SPC1, the transistor STR3, and the relay SRL1. That is, the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885 and the abnormal sound signal cut-off circuit 895 are connected through the photocoupler SPC1.

  In abnormal audio signal cutoff circuit 895, 24V supply line 886 is branched into two, one is connected to the collector terminal of the phototransistor of photocoupler SPC1, and the other is connected to the 8th terminal (coil + input) of relay SRL1. It is done. The emitter terminal of the phototransistor of the photocoupler SPC1 is connected to one end of the resistor SR8, the other end of the resistor SR8 is connected to one end of the resistor SR9, and the other end of the resistor SR9 is connected to the ground line 887. The resistors SR8 and SR9 are voltage dividing resistors.

  The base terminal of the relay operation transistor STR3 is connected to the connection point between the resistor SR8 and the resistor SR9, and one end of the capacitor SC3 whose other end is connected to the ground line 887 is connected. The emitter terminal of the transistor STR3 is connected to the ground line 887, and the collector terminal of the transistor STR3 is connected to the 1st terminal (coil-input) of the relay SRL1 and the 3rd terminal (one of the A contacts) of the relay SRL1.

  Further, the fourth terminal (the other of the A contacts) of the relay SRL 1 is connected to the ground line 887. Furthermore, the fifth terminal (one of the B contacts) of the relay SRL1 is connected to the woofer + signal line 888, and the sixth terminal (the other of the B contacts) of the relay SRL1 is the lower speaker harness 819 as an external output of the woofer + signal. Are connected to an external lower speaker 821.

  Furthermore, varistor SZNR1 for induced current bypass by self-induction function is connected in parallel between the eighth terminal (coil + input) of relay SRL1 and the first terminal (coil-input) of relay SRL1, and relay serial number 5 of relay SRL1. A varistor SZNR2 for contact protection is connected in parallel between the terminal (one of the B contacts) and the sixth terminal (the other of the B contacts) of the relay SRL1.

  Incidentally, since the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885 and the abnormal sound signal cut-off circuit 895 are signal-connected by the photocoupler SPC 1, no electrical noise enters the abnormal sound signal cut-off circuit 895 from the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885 directly. It is supposed to be.

  Next, the operation of the circuit of the abnormal sound signal cut-off substrate 884 configured as described above will be described.

[Operation when a normal voice signal is input] <abnormal voice signal detection circuit 885>
When a normal audio signal (waveform of AC voltage with different peak amplitude) is input, in the rectification bridge circuit of the abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885, in the case of the woofer + signal, the diode SD2 and the diode SD3 conduct. In FIG. 191, current flows from the top to the bottom to the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged in the period from 0 V of the waveform of the + voltage to the peak voltage of the mountain.

  When a normal audio signal (waveform of AC voltage having different peak amplitudes) is input, the rise in voltage due to the charge stored in the + terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 does not reach the base terminal voltage for operating the transistor STR1. Therefore, the transistor STR1 does not turn on, and remains off.

  Then, during a period from the peak voltage of the peak of the waveform of the positive voltage to 0 V, the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is discharged, and the charge accumulated at the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 moves to the cathode terminal of the diode SD2 through the resistor SR1.

  In the case of the woofer signal, the diode SD1 and the diode SD4 are turned on, and a current flows from the top to the bottom in the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 in FIG. During the period, the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged.

  When a normal audio signal (waveform of AC voltage having different amplitude peaks) is input, the rise in voltage due to the charge stored in the + terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 does not reach the base terminal voltage for operating the transistor STR1. Therefore, the transistor STR1 does not turn on, and remains off.

  Then, during a period from the peak voltage of the peak of the waveform of the + voltage to 0 V, the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is discharged, and the charge accumulated at the + terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 moves to the cathode terminal of the diode SD1 through the resistor SR1.

  As described above, when a normal audio signal (waveform of AC voltage having different peak amplitudes) is input, the transistor STR1 of the abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885 is maintained in the OFF state. Therefore, the transistor STR2 and the infrared LED (photocoupler) of the photocoupler SPC1 also maintain the off state, and the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885 does not substantially turn on.

<Abnormal audio signal blocking circuit 895>
On the other hand, in the abnormal sound signal blocking circuit 895, the photocoupler SPC1 is maintained in the off state, and the transistor STR3 is also maintained in the off state. Also, the relay SRL1 is in the inactive state. Therefore, the coil of the relay SRL1 is in the non-excitation state, and the non-operation B contact (the contact is closed) between the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal of the relay SRL1, and the non-operation between the third terminal and the fourth terminal. A contact (contact is open). Therefore, the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal of the relay SRL 1 are in a conductive state, and the woofer + signal of the woofer + signal line 888 is supplied to the lower speaker 821 through the lower speaker harness 819.

[When an abnormal audio signal continues for a predetermined period of time] [Operation when an abnormal audio signal is input due to a fixed DC voltage] <abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885>
When an abnormal audio signal (for example, a constant voltage such as +24 V, +18 V, +1.5 V, etc.) due to a fixed DC voltage is continuously input, in the rectification bridge circuit of the abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885, the diode SD2 and the diode SD3 conducts, and charging current flows from the top to the bottom in the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 in FIG. 191, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 continues to be charged.

  When an abnormal audio signal due to a fixed constant voltage is input, a rise in voltage of the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 due to an increase in charge accumulated in the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 with the passage of time is applied. It will approach a constant voltage and reach the base terminal voltage that operates the transistor STR1. Therefore, the transistor STR1 is turned on.

  When the transistor STR1 is turned on, current flows through the collector terminal of the transistor STR1, the emitter terminal of the transistor STR1, the resistor SR2 and the resistor SR4, and the voltage applied to the resistor SR4 (voltage appearing at the connection point of the resistor SR2 and the resistor SR4) The current flows through the resistor SR5, the zener diode SZD1, the resistor SR6, and the resistor SR7, and the voltage applied to the resistor SR7 (voltage appearing at the connection point between the resistor SR6 and the resistor SR7) is applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR2 in the subsequent stage. As a result, the transistor STR2 is turned on.

  When the transistor STR2 is turned on, the collector voltage of the transistor STR2 is pulled down to the 0 V line 891 side, and the infrared LED of the photocoupler SPC1 is turned on through the diode SD5. That is, the photocoupler SPC1 is turned on. Here, turning on the infrared LED of the photocoupler SPC1 corresponds to outputting the abnormality detection signal described in claim 1. The diode SD5 limits the current flowing to the infrared LED.

<Abnormal audio signal blocking circuit 895>
When the photocoupler SPC1 is turned on, the phototransistor of the photocoupler SPC1 is turned on, and a current flows to the ground through the phototransistor of the photocoupler SPC1, the resistor SR8 and the resistor SR9. Here, turning on the phototransistor of the photocoupler SPC1 means receiving an abnormality detection signal. The voltage applied to the resistor SR9 (the voltage appearing at the connection point of the resistor SR8 and the resistor SR9) is applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR3, and the transistor STR3 is turned on. The voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor STR3 is smoothed by removing noise from the capacitor SC3.

  When the transistor STR3 is turned on, the collector terminal of the transistor STR3 is pulled down to the ground side, and the 1st terminal of the relay SRL1 connected to the collector terminal of the transistor STR3 is pulled down to the ground side. The coil inside relay SRL1 between the No. terminal and the terminal is energized, and relay SRL1 operates.

  Therefore, the coil of relay SRL1 is in the excited state, and the B contact between the fifth and sixth terminals of relay SRL1 in the operating state (the contact is open), and between the third and fourth terminals in the operating state. A contact (contact closed). Therefore, the fifth terminal and the sixth terminal of the relay SRL1 are switched to the disconnection state, and the woofer + signal of the woofer + signal line 888 is interrupted in the output from the sixth terminal of the relay SRL1. As a result, the supply of the abnormal woofer + signal to the lower speaker 821 through the lower speaker harness 819 is cut off.

  The third and fourth terminals of relay SRL1 are brought into conduction, the third terminal of relay SRL1 is pulled to ground, and the collector terminal of transistor STR3 connected to the third terminal of relay SRL1 is grounded. The transistor STR3 is turned off.

  On the other hand, the 1st terminal of the relay connected in parallel to the 3rd terminal of relay SRL1 is also pulled down to the ground, so that the current flows through the 8th terminal, the 1st terminal, the 3rd terminal, the 4th terminal and the ground line 887 The current flows to the conductive state, and the conductive state of the coil is maintained. Thus, the woofer + signal remains disconnected from the output from the sixth terminal of the relay SRL1.

  As described above, when an abnormal audio signal with a fixed constant voltage is input, the abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885 detects that the audio signal is an abnormal audio signal and outputs an abnormality detection signal (photocoupler Turns on). When the abnormal sound signal cut-off circuit 895 receives the abnormality detection signal output from the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885 (when the photo coupler is turned on), the relay SRL1 operates to supply an abnormal sound signal to the lower speaker 821. Shut off. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the speaker from being damaged due to the application of the fixed DC voltage to the speaker.

  In the above embodiment, when abnormal sound is input, the energization state of the coil of the relay SRL1 is maintained, and the woofer + signal is maintained by blocking the output from the sixth terminal of the relay SRL1, Ultimately, safety measures are taken with the highest priority given to preventing damage to the speakers. Therefore, when the cause of the abnormal sound signal can be grasped by a person in charge or the sound output stop state is confirmed, the operation state of the relay SRL 1 is canceled by turning on the game machine again. It is possible to return to the normal initial state.

[Operation when an abnormal audio signal is input due to excessive AC voltage] <abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885>
When an abnormal audio signal due to excessive AC voltage is input, that is, when the audio signal is extremely amplified and an excessive AC voltage exceeding the proper amplification width is input, for example, in the case of a woofer + signal, The diode SD2 and the diode SD3 become conductive, and charging current flows from the top to the bottom of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 in FIG. 191, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged in the period from 0 V to the peak voltage Be done.

  Also, for example, in the case of the woofer signal, the diode SD1 and the diode SD4 are turned on, and the charging current flows from the top to the bottom in the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 in FIG. During the period up to the peak voltage, the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged.

  In this case, since the peak voltage of the abnormal audio signal is extremely high compared to the peak voltage of the normal audio signal, even if the width of the mountain waveform is the same for the normal waveform and the abnormal waveform, the resistance SR1 The charging current rapidly flows through the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the through, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is rapidly charged.

  Therefore, the charge stored in the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 rapidly increases. Due to this rapid charge increase, the voltage at the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 rises to reach the base terminal voltage for operating the transistor STR1. Therefore, the transistor STR1 is turned on.

  The operation of the abnormal sound signal detection circuit 885 and the operation of the abnormal sound signal cut-off circuit 895 after the transistor STR1 is turned on are the same as the operation when an abnormal sound signal by the fixed DC voltage described above is input. Yes, I will explain briefly.

  When the transistor STR1 is turned on, the transistor STR2 is turned on, and when the transistor STR2 is turned on, the photocoupler SPC1 is turned on. In abnormal sound signal blocking circuit 895, when photocoupler SPC1 is turned on, transistor STR3 is turned on and transistor STR3 is turned on, whereby relay SRL1 is activated and terminals 5 and 6 of relay SRL1 are cut off. In the state, the woofer + signal of the woofer + signal line 888 is interrupted at the output from the 6th terminal of the relay SRL1. As a result, the supply of the abnormal woofer + signal to the lower speaker 821 through the lower speaker harness 819 is cut off. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the generation of an abnormal sound due to an abnormal sound signal of an excessive AC voltage that is extremely amplified and exceeds an appropriate amplification width. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from making unpleasant sounds.

[3-4. Liquid crystal control unit]
Next, as shown in FIG. 188, the liquid crystal control unit 4150 for performing drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 in the peripheral control substrate 4010 includes a liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor and various processing programs A screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, a liquid crystal control ROM 4150b for storing various commands and various data, a VDP (abbreviation of Video Display Processor) 4150c for displaying and controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 described above The character ROM 4150 d stores various data, and the character RAM 4150 e to which various data stored in the character ROM 4150 d are transferred and copied.

When the liquid crystal control MPU 4150 a operates normally, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150 a outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 4140. The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a receives an in-execution signal, which will be described later, from the VDP 4150c, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the in-execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150 b is, in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252, schedule data corresponding to control data (display command) from the peripheral control substrate 4010, A plurality of nonresident area transfer schedule data and the like corresponding to control data (display command) are stored. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the configuration of the screen in time series, and the order of the screen drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is defined. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is configured by arranging non-resident area transfer data defining the order of various data stored in the character ROM 4150 d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150 e in time series. In the non-resident area transfer data, the order of transferring various data from the character ROM 4150 d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150 e is defined in advance as screen data drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as the schedule data progresses.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the first screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010 from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs the screen data to the VDP 4150c. It is extracted from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150 b and output to the VDP 4150 c. As described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data from the head screen data one by one from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs the data to the VDP 4150c.

  When the screen data output from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is input, the VDP 4150c extracts sprite data from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data and displays the data on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the second liquid crystal display device 3252 The drawing data is generated, and the generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1900. When the VDP 4150c does not receive screen data from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, the VDP 4150c outputs an in-execution signal to that effect to the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a. The VDP 4150 c adopts a line buffer method. In this “line buffer method”, drawing data for one line for drawing the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is held in a line buffer, and drawing data for one line held in the line buffer is stored in the liquid crystal display device 1900 or This is a method of outputting to the second liquid crystal display device 3252.

  The character ROM 4150 d stores a large amount of sprite data, and the capacity thereof is large. As the capacity of the character ROM 4150 d increases, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150 d can not be ignored, which affects the speed of drawing on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Therefore, in the present embodiment, sprite data stored in the character ROM 4150 d is transferred and copied to the character RAM 4150 e having a high access speed, and sprite data is extracted from the character RAM 4150 e. Sprite data is basic data which is data before expanding a sprite into a bitmap format, and is stored in the character ROM 4150 d in a compressed state.

  Here, to describe “sprite”, “sprite” is an image displayed as a unit integrated on the liquid crystal display device 1900. For example, in the case of displaying various persons on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the second liquid crystal display device 3252, data for drawing each person is referred to as "sprite". Thus, in the case where a plurality of persons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the second liquid crystal display device 3252, a plurality of sprites are used. Besides the person, a house, a mountain, a road, etc. constituting the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be one sprite. In these sprites, the position to be arranged on the screen and the upper / lower relationship (hereinafter referred to as “order of superposition of sprites”) when the sprites overlap are set, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the second liquid crystal display device It is drawn to 3252.

  The sprite is formed by bonding a plurality of rectangular areas each having 64 pixels in the vertical and horizontal directions. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called "character". In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, it is expressed using a total of six characters arranged in, for example, 2 × 3. be able to. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, it can be represented using a larger number of characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

  The liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 sequentially set the display state for each pixel in one direction along the pixels and sequentially intersect with the one direction along the pixels as viewed from the front and from left to right. It is driven by a sub-scan that repeatedly performs the main scan in the direction of When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control unit 4150 is input to the liquid crystal display device 1900, as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the second liquid crystal display device 3252 as main scanning, And sequentially output to pixels for one line. When the output for one line is completed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 shift to the line immediately below as a sub-scan, and similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, the next line Based on the drawing data of a minute, the image is output as pixels in one line sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 as main scanning.

  Further, FIG. 200 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game preparation processing. FIG. 201 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game mode determination processing, which is one of the jackpot game preparation processing. FIG. 202 is an example of a table used for jackpot game mode determination processing when the jackpot flag is ON.

FIG. 204 is an example of a table used for jackpot game mode determination processing when the game ball passes the left gate at the time of jackpot winning of the normal type. The timer interrupt process is executed by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 at a predetermined timing (every 4 ms in the present embodiment).

[About main processing]
In the main process, as shown in FIG. 192, when the supply of power to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the main control MPU 4100a executes a power-on process (step S1). In this power-on process, it is determined whether the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a) is normal (is it a set value at the time of a power failure) or not. For example, it executes processing (return processing at power failure) to return to the state at the time of power failure according to the backup data stored in RAM, clears the RAM if backup data is abnormal, and performs device setting around CPU (normal initialization , Setting of interrupt timing, etc.).

  When the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped during the game, the current gaming state is stored as backup data in the RAM. Further, if the RAM clear switch 4100c instructing to clear the backup data stored in the RAM in the power-on process is turned on, the RAM is cleared and the normal initialization is performed. Further, in the power-on process, when the backup data is not stored in the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a), the RAM is cleared and the normal initialization is performed.

  Further, in the power-on process, a process of setting a power-on command indicating that the main control board 4100 has been activated to a transmittable state to the peripheral control unit 4140 when normal initialization is performed is also executed. The power on command notifies the peripheral control unit 4140 of the progress of the game such as the activation of the main control board 4100 and the gaming state when the power is shut off. The backup data is stored in the RAM even when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped (when the power is turned off) when the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed is closed or the like, and the power to the pachinko machine 1 is stored again. When the supply is started, the power-on process is performed.

  When the power-on process ends, the main control MPU 4100a starts a loop process that repeatedly executes each game process. At the start of the loop processing, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether a power failure advance signal is detected (step S2). In this embodiment, the power supply voltage used by the pachinko machine 1 is generated by the power supply substrate. That is, since the plurality of types of devices mounted on the pachinko machine 1 operate with different power supply voltages, the power supply voltage supplied to the pachinko machine 1 from the external power supply is converted to a predetermined power supply voltage by the power supply substrate. It is supplied to the device. Therefore, when a power failure occurs and the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the power supply substrate falls below a predetermined power supply voltage, a power failure notice signal indicating that the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply substrate to the main control substrate 4100 is stopped. Will be sent. Then, when the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 detects a power failure notification signal in step S2, the power off occurrence processing is executed (step S4).

  In the power-off process, when the power supply voltage (24 V in this embodiment) supplied to the power substrate after power failure is restored (hereinafter referred to as power recovery), the operation of the gaming machine is in a state before power failure. In order to start from the above, the state at the time of a power failure is stored as backup data in the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a). Although the process contents will be described later, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the power-off process is not an interrupt process but a branch process executed immediately after the start of the loop according to the detection of the power failure notice signal. It is incorporated in the main processing (main control processing).

  By the way, when the power failure notice signal is not detected in step S2, that is, when the power from the external power supply is normally supplied, the random number updating process 2 for updating various random numbers used in the game is performed (step S3). The random numbers updated in the random number update process 2 will be described later.

[About power off process]
Next, as shown in FIG. 193, the power failure occurrence process is a process that is executed when a power failure advance signal is detected in the main process. First, the main control MPU 4100a performs interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt processing is not executed (step S4a). Then, the checksum of the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a) is calculated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (step S4b). This checksum is used to check whether or not the content of the RAM before the power failure is held at the time of power recovery.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 4100a sets, in a backup flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM, a specified value indicating that the processing upon power failure has been performed (step S4c). When the above process is completed, the main control MPU 4100a prohibits access to the RAM (step S4d), enters an infinite loop, and prepares to stop power supply. It should be noted that in this process, in the case where the process at the time of a power failure has been started by the power supply voltage becoming unstable due to a power failure or the like for a very short time (hereinafter referred to as "instant power failure") Since the power supply voltage is not stopped, in the above process, it may not be possible to recover from the infinite loop. In order to avoid such an adverse effect, the main control MPU 4100a of the present embodiment is provided with a watchdog timer, and is configured to be reset if the watchdog timer is not updated for a predetermined time. The watchdog timer is periodically updated while the processing is being performed normally, but the processing upon power failure occurs and the update is not performed. As a result, even when the power failure occurs, processing is initiated by a momentary power failure, and even if an infinite loop is entered, a reset is applied after a predetermined period has elapsed, and the main control MPU 4100a is activated in the same process as when the power is turned on.

[About timer interrupt processing]
Next, in the timer interrupt process, the timer interrupt process is executed every 4 ms by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 while the main process is being executed, as shown in FIG. After executing the register save process (step S10), the control MPU 4100a executes the process from step S11 to step S18. In the switch input process of step S11, a process of monitoring a detection signal of the above-described switch (gate switch, start port sensor, count sensor, general winning switch, etc.) is executed. In the random number updating process 1 of step S12, a process of updating various random numbers used in the game is executed. In this embodiment, the random number updated in the random number update process 1 is different from the random number updated in the random number update process 2 described above. The random number will be described later, but the random number updated in the random number update process 2 may be updated in the random number update process 1 as well. In the payout operation process of step S13, a payout command instructing payout of a game ball is set on the payout control board 4110 based on the signal detected in the switch input process (step S11).

  In addition, in the special control process of step S14, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are variably displayed on the special symbol display 1185 or 1186 based on the progressing state of the game, or the special electric character (that is, the attacker solenoid 2121 The opening / closing member 2106 for opening / closing the special winning opening 2103 is controlled, and processing for changing the opening / closing state of the special winning opening 2103 is executed. In the normal control process of step S15, the normal symbol is varied based on the progressing state of the game, and the ordinary motorized part (i.e., a pair of movable pieces 2105 for opening and closing the second starting opening 2102 by the starting opening solenoid 2144) is controlled. Then, the process of changing the open / close state of the second start port 2102 is executed.

  In the output data setting process of the subsequent step S16, a process of outputting a state signal indicating the gaming state to the outside (for example, a management computer etc.) of the pachinko machine 1, a drive signal is output to a special view start storage indicator (not shown) To perform the process, etc. In the command transmission process of step S17, a process of transmitting a rendering command to the surrounding control unit 4140 is executed. Further, in the command transmission processing, processing of transmitting the power on command set in the power on processing (step S1) to the peripheral control unit 4140 when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started is also performed. When the processes from step S11 to step S17 are executed, the register restoration process (step S18) is executed, and the process is ended.

  Here, various random numbers updated by the main control MPU 4100 a of the main control board 4100 in the above-described random number update process 1 (step S12) and the random number update process 2 (step S3) will be described. In this embodiment, as the various random numbers used in the game, the jackpot determination random number used in the determination (whether it is the jackpot determination or the jackpot lottery) whether to generate the jackpot gaming state, the jackpot gaming state in the jackpot determination Whether to perform high expectation effects such as reach effect when it is judged that it is not a big hit (loss) in big hit lottery random number for big hit symbol used to decide the stop symbol of special symbol when it is decided to generate Reach determination random number used for determination (reach determination) about whether or not, and a variation display pattern random number used to determine the variation display pattern (variation time etc.) of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display 1185, 1186 (Random time for change time), Opening condition of the big winning opening 2103 in the jackpot game (special bonus game) Used for random number for round determination used to determine (number of rounds etc.), determination as to whether or not the pair of movable pieces 2105 for opening and closing the second starting port 2102 should be controlled to be open (normal lottery judgment) There are random hits for ordinary hit judgment, etc.

  In addition, the jackpot symbol random number is also used to determine the jackpot state type (such as whether to operate the probability variation function or the time saving function) performed when it is determined that the jackpot was won.

  Among these random numbers, in random number update processing 1, the jackpot determination random number, jackpot random number, round determination random number, and whether the pair of movable pieces 2105 are controlled to be open or not in connection with generation of jackpot gaming state Update the random number for the standard symbol judgment that is involved. That is, the random number used for determination regarding generation | occurrence | production of a big hit game state and controlling a pair of movable piece 2105 to an open state is updated every 4 ms as a predetermined | prescribed timing. By doing this, the probability in a predetermined period with each random number (probability of determining that the jackpot gaming state is to be generated, and probability of determining that the pair of movable pieces 2105 are controlled to be in the open state) can be made constant. The player can be prevented from being in a disadvantageous state. On the other hand, in the random number updating process 2, the occurrence of the jackpot gaming state, and the reach determination random number regardless of the regular lottery, and the variation display pattern random number and the like are updated.

  Although not shown in FIG. 194, in the timer interruption process, regardless of the gaming state, the receiving unit 2550 (more specifically, the movable valve 2551 fixed to the front end of the movable shaft 2552) is periodically rotated. Also, drive control processing of the receiving drive motor 2558 to be performed is performed.

[About special control processing]
Next, special control processing will be described based on FIG. FIG. 195 is a flowchart showing an example of the special control process.

  In the special control process, first, first and second starting opening winning process (step S110) is performed. In this first and second starting opening winning process, it is determined whether or not the gaming ball has won in the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102, for example. Then, after the first and second starting-opening winning process (step S110) is performed, the process according to the state of the processing flag is selectively selected among the plurality of processes (step S120 to step S230) shown in the figure. Will do.

  More specifically, when the first and second starting opening winning processing (step S110) is finished, it is first determined whether the processing flag is 0 (step S120), and if the processing flag is 0 ((0) YES in step S120) and the fluctuation start process (step S130) is executed. In this variation start process (step S130), the processing flag is updated to "1" after the setting for starting the variation display of the special symbol, etc. is performed based on the result of the lottery for the winning of the big hit etc. .

  On the other hand, if the process flag is not 0 (NO in step S120), it is determined whether the process flag is 1 (step S140). As a result, if the process flag is 1 (YES in step S140), the variation pattern setting process (step S150) is executed. In this variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern of the special symbol (identification symbol) displayed on the first special symbol indicator 1185 or the second special symbol indicator 1186 (the first special symbol indicator 1185 or the second special symbol indicator After the variation display of the special symbol (identification symbol) is started in any of 1186 and the variation time from displaying to stopping display is determined, the processing flag is updated to “2”.

  On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 1 (NO in step S140), it is determined whether the processing flag is 2 (step S170). As a result, if the processing flag is 2 (YES in step S170), the processing during variation (step S180) is executed. In this fluctuation processing, the fluctuation time set in the fluctuation pattern setting processing (step S150) is monitored by a timer, and based on the timeout, the special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 is special Stop the fluctuation display of the symbol. After that, when it is determined that the jackpot has been won in the change start process (step S130), the process selection flag is updated to "3". On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot has been lost (loss), the processing selection flag is updated to "0". That is, in this case, in the next interrupt process, the variation start process (step S130) is performed again.

  On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 2 (NO in step S170), it is determined whether the processing flag is 3 (step S190). As a result, if the processing flag is 3 (YES in step S190), the jackpot game preparation processing (step S200) is executed. In this jackpot game preparation process, the condition device which is one of the conditions for executing the jackpot game is operated to perform processing for determining the mode of the jackpot game and the mode (for example, the number of rounds of the jackpot game determined) ), And further operates the character continuous operating device, which is one of the conditions for executing the jackpot game, and updates the processing flag to “4”. On the other hand, if the processing flag is not 3 in step S190 (NO in step S190), the process proceeds to step S210.

  If the processing flag is not 3 (NO in step S190), it is determined that the processing flag is 4 and the jackpot game processing (step S210) is executed. In this jackpot game process, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2106 is controlled based on the jackpot game mode set in the jackpot game mode determination process (step S 607). In addition, when the jackpot game ends, after the processing of stopping the operation of the condition device and the bonus product continuous actuation device, etc. is performed, the processing flag is updated to “0”. That is, in this case, in the next interrupt process, the variation start process (step S130) is performed again.

  Thus, the special control process is ended when any of the processes of step S130, step S150, step S180, step S200 and step S210 is selectively executed based on the state of the process flag.

[About the first and second starting opening winning process]
Next, the first and second starting opening winning process (the process of step S110) will be described based on FIG. FIG. 196 is a flowchart showing an example of the first and second starting opening winning process.

  In the first and second starting hole winning processing (step S110), the processing related to the determination as to whether or not the game ball has been won in the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 is largely performed, and the winning On the condition that it is determined that there has been a process of updating the holding status of the corresponding special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) is performed.

  Therefore, the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not the detection signal is output from the second start port sensor 3132. As a result, when it is determined that the detection signal is output from the second starting opening sensor 3132, it is determined that there is a winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 2102 (YES in step S201), The process of step S202 is performed. In the process of step S202, various random numbers for the second special symbol lottery (random number for big hit judgment, big hit symbol random number, etc.) are acquired, and the second provided in the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a) A determination is made as to whether the value of the hold number counter is less than 4, which is the upper limit value. As a result, if the second hold number counter is less than 4, the second start hold storage process (step S203) and the hold history update process (step S204) are sequentially performed.

  That is, in this case, the main control MPU 4100a first performs various data (big hit determination random numbers, big hit symbols) obtained by the game ball winning in the second start port 2102 as the second start pending storage process (step S203). The random numbers and the like are stored in a predetermined storage area (RAM) while being associated with the types of special symbols and the order of holding. Next, 1 is added to the counter value of the second hold number counter provided in the RAM as a hold history update process (step S204).

  In the process of step 203, a winning notice command is set to indicate that the game ball has been won in the second starting opening 2102 (more precisely, the type of special symbol, the order of holding, etc.). The set prize notification command may be transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 in the above-described command transmission process (step S17). In such a configuration, when the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like makes a hold display on the second start port 2102 side through control by the peripheral control unit 4140, this can be updated promptly.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the detection signal from the second start port sensor 3132 is not output in the process of step S201, or the value of the second hold number counter becomes the upper limit value in the process of step S202. If it is determined that the value is 4 then, in step S205, it is determined whether or not the detection signal is output from the first starting opening sensor 3131. As a result, when it is determined that the detection signal is output from the first starting opening sensor 3131, it is determined that the game ball has won the first starting opening 2101 (YES in step S205), and the next The process of step S206 is performed. In the process of step S206, various random numbers for the first jackpot lottery (random numbers for jackpot determination, jackpot symbols, etc.) are acquired, and the value of the first hold number counter provided in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is the upper limit A determination is made as to whether the value is less than four. As a result, if the first hold number counter is less than 4, the first start hold storage process (step S207) and the hold history update process (step S208) are sequentially performed.

  That is, in this case, the main control MPU 4100a first performs various data (big hit determination random numbers, big hit random numbers for the first start reservation storage process (step S207), obtained by the game ball winning the first start opening 2101 Etc.) are stored in a predetermined storage area (RAM) while being associated with the types of special symbols and the order of holding. Next, 1 is added to the counter value of the first hold number counter provided in the RAM as a hold history update process (step S208).

  Also in the processing of step 207, a winning notice command indicating that there is a winning of the gaming ball in the first starting opening 2101 (more precisely, the kind of special symbol, the order of holding, etc.) is set, and thus The set prize notification command may be transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 in the above-described command transmission process (step S17). In such a configuration, even when the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like makes a hold display on the first starting opening 2101 side through control by the peripheral control unit 4140, this can be updated promptly.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S205 that there is no winning of the gaming ball in the first starting opening 2101 or in the process of step S206, the counter value of the first hold number counter becomes the upper limit If it is determined that 4 has been reached, the first and second starting opening winning processes are ended at this time.

  As will be described later, in the main control MPU 4100a according to this embodiment, when the game ball enters the first starting opening 2101 or the second starting opening 2102, a big hit is made along with a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol random number, etc. A game mode determination random number (for example, a round number determination random number) is not acquired. Therefore, the jackpot game mode determination random number is not obtained in this way, and the opening mode in the large winning opening 2103 remains undecided (midway step of a series of lottery processes according to the execution of the jackpot game). A game will be advanced by determining a fluctuation pattern, a stop pattern, etc. In addition, about the random number for jackpot game mode determination, it is acquired when the game ball passes gate 2575 (left gate 2575L, right gate 2575R) after the stop of the special symbol, and the below-mentioned jackpot determined at that time It will be provided to the jackpot game mode determination processing under the form (see FIG. 201).

  In this embodiment, after the winning process (step S201 to step S204) to the second starting port 2102 is performed, the winning process (step S205 to step S208) to the first starting port 2101 is performed. There is. However, instead of this, after the winning process for the first starting port 2101 is performed, the winning process for the second starting port 2102 may be performed.

  Also, the main control MPU 4100a may execute an advance determination process based on the acquired various random numbers, and may transmit a command indicating the result of the advance determination process to the peripheral control unit 4140 as a prize notification command. The advance determination process is performed prior to a lottery using random numbers stored in steps S203 and S207 (for example, determination of a jackpot lottery, a probability variation lottery, and a variation display pattern described later), and a process of determining the lottery result in advance It is. The advance determination process is performed using the random numbers stored in steps S203 and S207 and the advance determination table. The preceding determination table is a table similar to the table used for the lottery using the random number. In the advance determination process, the random number and the advance determination table are compared to determine the lottery result (such as the jackpot success or failure, the jackpot type, and the variation display pattern) when the lottery using the random number is performed. (A judgment performed prior to the lottery in this manner is also referred to as a "pre-reading judgment"). The peripheral control unit 4140 may realize an effect reflecting the received winning notification command (preceding determination result) before a lottery using the random number is performed (such an effect may be Also referred to as

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the contents of the advance determination table are the same as the contents of the table used for the lottery. However, at least a part of the content of the preceding determination table may be different from the content of the table used for the lottery.

[About change start process]
Next, fluctuation start processing will be described based on FIG. FIG. 197 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the change start process.

  In the variation start process (step S130) executed when the process flag is "0", the main control MPU 4100a first determines the values of the two hold number counters corresponding to the special symbol displays 1185 and 1186 (first start storage It is determined whether the number and the second start memory number) are both "0" (step S301). Here, the values in the two pending number counters corresponding to the special symbol displays 1185 and 1186 refer to the storage areas (the special symbol retention storage means 4214 and 4224 pertaining to the first start storage and the second start storage). Therefore, if the value of the number-of-holds counter is “0” in this step S301 (YES), the variation processing of the first special symbol and the variation processing of the second special symbol are performed. It is determined that none of the start conditions is satisfied, and the variation start process is ended when the processing flag is updated to “1” in the process of step S318.

  On the other hand, if neither the first starting memory number nor the second starting memory number is "0" (NO in step S301), it is determined that the starting condition is satisfied, and execution of the jackpot lottery held on hold In order to update the order to be applied, the shift processing in the special symbol holding storage means 4214 and 4224 is performed (step S302 to step S310).

  Incidentally, four storage areas are provided in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage means 4224, respectively. In each of these storage areas, a jackpot judgment random number storage area in which a jackpot judgment random number is stored, a jackpot symbol random number, a reach judgment random number, a variation display pattern random number and the like are stored in a jackpot symbol random number storage area. An area and an area are provided, respectively.

  That is, the main control MPU 4100a appropriately manipulates the random numbers stored in the storage means 4214 and 4224 as shift processing (steps S302 to S310) in the random number storage area when the special symbol changes. However, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, the game is performed when the big win is won in the first special symbol side lottery process and when the big win is won in the second special symbol side lottery process. There is no difference in the expected value of the benefit (such as the number of awardable balls obtainable) given to the

  In the shift process (steps S302 to S310) in the random number storage area, the lottery of the first special symbol is always performed later, and the lottery based on the winning of the second starting opening 2102 (lottery of the second special symbol) The random numbers stored in the storage means 4214 and 4224 are manipulated so as to be all digested first.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 197, at the time of the shift process (steps S302 to S310) in the random number storage area, first, the second special symbol display 1186 which is the side to be preferentially digested as the process of step S302. It is determined whether the value of the number-of-holds counter (second starting memory number) corresponding to is "0", that is, whether a random number is not stored in the storage area of the second special symbol holding storage means 4224. And as a result, when it is judged that the random number is stored in the storage area of the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 (NO in step S302), the random number regarding the second special symbol is read out from the same storage area It acquires (step S303). That is, as described later, the random number read out in this way (random number for big hit judgment, big hit symbol random number, reach judgment random number, fluctuation display pattern random number), the process for drawing a big hit Processing for setting the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 2106, processing for setting the opening / closing member 2106, etc. The second starting game can be advanced with the ball winning.

  Next, the main control MPU 4100 a updates various random numbers stored in each of the n-th (n is a natural number of 2 or more) storage areas in order to update the digesting order of the second special symbol side lottery (variation), The data is shifted to the first storage area (step S304). As a result, at least the storage area is freed, and new start information (pending) on the second special symbol can be stored in the freed storage area.

  Then, after that, the main control MPU 4100a sets the special symbol variation flag to "1" to indicate that the second special symbol side game (the second starting game) is in a progressing state (step S305). ). Furthermore, the pending number counter corresponding to the second special symbol is decremented by “1” in order to update the pending number for the second special symbol side lottery (variation) (step S306). At this time, the drive control for lighting the lamp 1187 so that the number of reservations for the second special symbol side lottery (variation) updated in this way is also reflected in the lighting mode of the second special symbol memory display 1187 Is done. The special symbol variation flag thus set to "1" is reset when the processing flag is updated to "0", for example, after the variation start process is completed.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 197, in the process of step S302, when it is determined that the random number is not stored in the storage area of the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 (YES in step S302), A random number relating to the first special symbol is read out from the storage area of one special symbol hold storage means 4214 and acquired (step S307). That is, as will be described later, the random number read out in this way is the processing for setting the variation pattern of the special symbol, the processing for setting the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 2106, and the setting of the gaming state As a result of being provided to such processing, etc., the first start game can be advanced, triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first start port 2101.

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a changes the random numbers stored in the n-th (n is a natural number of 2 or more) storage areas so as to update the digestion order for the lottery (variation) on the first special symbol side. Each is shifted to the first storage area (step S308). As a result, at least the storage area is freed, and new start information (pending) for the first special symbol can be stored in the freed storage area.

  Then, after that, the main control MPU 4100a sets "2" to the special symbol variation flag so that it is shown that the game on the first special symbol side (the first starting game) is in progress (step S309) ). Furthermore, the pending number counter corresponding to the first special symbol is decremented by “1” to update the pending number for the first special symbol side lottery (variation) (step S310). At this time, the drive control for lighting the lamp 1184 so that the number of reservations for the lottery (variation) on the first special symbol side updated in this way is also reflected in the lighting mode of the first special symbol memory display 1184 Is done. In addition, similarly, for the special symbol variation flag set to "2" in this way, after the variation start processing is completed, for example, the special symbol variation flag is reset when the processing flag is updated to "0".

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is in operation, that is, whether it is a probability variation state with high probability (step S312), and if it is not a probability variation state (NO in step S312) Jackpot determination table, that is, a table in which the probability of becoming a jackpot is set low is selected, while in the case of a probability fluctuation state (YES in step S312), the table at the time of probability fluctuation operation, ie, a probability that jackpot is Select the table set high. In this example, the probability of becoming a big hit is set to 1/320 when probability fluctuation is not activated (that is, normal time), and the probability of becoming a jackpot when probability fluctuation is activated (that is, high probability) is 10 It is set to / 320.

  After any table is selected in the process of step S313 or step S314, the jackpot determination random number for any special symbol acquired in the process of step S303 or step S307 based on the table is a big hit. It is determined whether or not it is a random number (big hit value) corresponding to (step S315). And, if it is the jackpot value (YES in step S315), the jackpot is a probability based on the jackpot symbol random number for any special symbol similarly acquired in the process of step S303 or step S307. A determination is made as to whether it is of the type for operating the variable function or the time saving function (the state type related to the gaming state) (step S316). As a result, the flag corresponding to the jackpot state type determined in the process of step S316 is turned on (set) (step S317), and the process proceeds to step S318. The jackpot symbol random number is, for example, a random number from 0 to 9, and if the jackpot symbol random number acquired from the inside is 7, for example, the jackpot flag of the specific type is turned on in step S317.

  However, the main control MPU 4100a according to the present embodiment leaves the lottery for the mode (the number of rounds) of the jackpot game as a process not yet performed in the process of step S316. And although it mentions later, about the same lottery, after the special symbol (identification symbol) is stopped and displayed, the game ball passes through the gate 2575 and it is in the unexecuted state until random number for big hit game mode determination is acquired at least. By maintaining the jackpot, part of the lottery processing (for example, the lottery for the number of rounds) in the series of lottery processing (game lottery for the progress of the game) for execution of the jackpot game has not been performed yet Under the middle stage, the special symbol's fluctuation is started and stopped.

  In such a configuration, until the special symbol is stopped based on the jackpot (special hit), the lottery process for the jackpot game mode (for example, the number of rounds) that can affect the profit itself that the player can enjoy. This is left unexecuted without being performed. That is, in this case, even if the special symbol is stopped based on the jackpot winning, a series of lottery processing (game lottery for the progression of the game) for execution of the jackpot game is not completed and the halfway processing stage (after winning It will be maintained in the state where execution of a game is made impossible after winning by not having determined the execution mode of a game yet. In addition, since the game ball is newly launched by the player and can be maintained until the game ball is accepted by the gate 2575, such a halfway processing step as the game lottery is based on the jackpot winning. Even after the special symbol is stopped, until the jackpot game is started, for example, the expectation display of the result of the above-mentioned game lottery under the fact that the information is not exposed by the round indicator 1190 etc. In this way, it is possible to preferably maintain the game fun until the jackpot game is actually executed.

  On the other hand, if the random number obtained is not a jackpot value (NO in step S315), the process proceeds to step S318, the processing flag is updated to "1", and the fluctuation start process is ended. When the process flag is updated to [1] in step S318, the process of step S301 is not performed unless the process flag is updated to [0]. In this case, the start condition is not established and the start condition is not established. .

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, regardless of which lottery of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, as described above as a jackpot symbol random number, for example, a random number width of 0 to 299 A random number value to be generated is prepared, and in the process of step S303 or step S307, one of these random number values is acquired as the value of the jackpot symbol random number. Then, the acquired random number value is subjected to the process of determining whether or not it is a jackpot state type for operating the probability variation function or the time saving function in the process of step S316.

  However, in the jackpot game mode determination process (step S607) described later, 15 rounds of big hit games that repeat opening and closing of the opening and closing member 2106 over many rounds in a predetermined opening and closing pattern and middle rounds of opening and closing of the opening and closing member 2106 in a predetermined opening and closing pattern In the present embodiment, it is determined to be one of 9 rounds jackpot game repeated over 9 rounds, and 3 rounds jackpot game and 6 rounds jackpot game repeated opening and closing of the opening and closing member 2106 over a few rounds in a predetermined opening and closing pattern. It has become.

  The predetermined opening and closing pattern of the opening and closing member 2106 means that a predetermined long time (for example, 26 seconds to 33 seconds) elapses after the opening and closing member 2106 is opened from the closed state, or a predetermined number (for example, 9) The game ball is a pattern of returning the open / close member 2106 to the closed state when any of the conditions of winning the special winning opening 2103 is satisfied. Therefore, as the number of rounds in which the opening / closing member 2106 is repeatedly executed in the predetermined opening / closing pattern is large, the player can substantially obtain a large number of prize balls (about 1750 in the present embodiment) as a bonus. . In the jackpot game mode determination process in the present embodiment, a lottery of the number of rounds repeatedly executed in the jackpot game is performed, but a plurality of prize balls which can be obtained by the player are different. It is not limited to this as long as it is determined to be one of the jackpot gaming modes. For example, instead of a jackpot game mode repeatedly performed over a plurality of rounds in a predetermined opening / closing pattern, the opening / closing member 2106 is opened one time, but as a jackpot game embodiment opening the opening / closing member 2106 for a long time It is also good.

[About variation pattern setting processing]
Next, a variation pattern setting process will be described in which the variation pattern of the special symbol is set based on the result of the lottery (step S315) or the like for the jackpot hit. FIG. 198 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variation pattern setting process.

  As shown in FIG. 198, in the variation pattern setting process (step S150) executed when the process flag is "1", the main control MPU 4100a first sets the big hit flag "ON" as the process of step S401. It is determined whether or not As a result, when it is determined that the jackpot flag is "ON" (YES in step S401), the jackpot fluctuation pattern table setting process described later is performed to set the fluctuation pattern when the jackpot is won. The operation is performed (step S402).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S401 that the jackpot flag is not "ON", it is next determined whether or not reach effect is to be performed as the process of step S403. As a result, when it is determined that reach effect is to be performed (YES in step S403), reach loss fluctuation pattern table setting processing is performed so that the fluctuation pattern of reach effect is set although it is a loss (step S404) .

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S403 that the reach effect is not performed, the non-reach loss variation pattern table setting process is performed so that the loss effect is performed without performing the reach effect as the process of step S405 next. I do.

  In addition, the table set in the non-reach loss variation pattern table setting process is prepared in a form corresponding to each of a plurality of gaming states, for example, in the normal gaming state, the number of reservations is a predetermined value or more At some point, shortening variation is performed.

  Then, when the selection table relating to the variation pattern is set in the process of any of step S402, step S404, and step S405, the main control MPU 4100a next selects the set selection table as the process of step S410. Determine the variation pattern of the special symbol based on. Next, in the process of step S411, the variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol determined in this way is set as a rendering command, and a winning information command (such as a winning for a big hit) is set.

  Furthermore, the value of the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined above is set in the timer (step S412), and the special view LED operation flag is set to ON (step S413). When this special view LED operation flag is set to ON, the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol is based on the value of the special symbol variation flag set in the process of step S305 or step S309. The variable display of the lighting patterns of the plurality of LEDs as the display 1186 is started. After that, the processing flag is updated to "2" (step S414), and the fluctuation pattern setting processing is ended.

  By the way, the variation pattern set in the variation pattern setting process is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 by the command transmission process (step S17) shown in FIG. 194 as a rendering command set in the process of step S411. . Thereby, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the result of the big hit lottery is shown based on the fluctuation pattern indicated by the effect command and the information indicated by the win information command through the control by the peripheral control unit 4140 side. Display effects will be performed.

[About processing during fluctuation]
Next, the during-variation process (step S180) executed when the process flag is "2" will be described. FIG. 199 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process during variation.

  As shown in FIG. 199, in the process during variation (step S180), the main control MPU 4100a first sets the variation time set in the timer in the process of step S412 (see FIG. 198) as the process of step S501. It is determined whether the time is up. If the fluctuation time set in the timer has not timed up (NO in step S501), the fluctuation processing is ended.

  If the fluctuation time set in the timer has timed up (YES in step S501), the special view LED operation flag set to ON in the process of step S413 is set to OFF (step S502). When the special view LED operation flag is set to OFF, the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol is displayed based on the value of the special symbol variation flag set in the process of step S305 or step S309. The fluctuation display (the fluctuation of the special symbol) concerning the lighting patterns of the plurality of LEDs as the display 1186 is ended. In addition, when the display effect for the big hit lottery is being performed in the liquid crystal display device 1900, in order to end this, a determination stop command indicating that the effect result in the display effect is to be determined and displayed. Is set (step S503). The decision stop command is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 by the command transmission process (step S17) shown in FIG. As a result, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the display result in the same display effect is determined and displayed through the control described later by the peripheral control unit 4140 side.

  Next, it is determined whether the jackpot flag is ON (step S504). If the jackpot flag is ON (YES in step S504), the processing flag is updated to "3" as it is in the processing stage in which the special symbol has been variably stopped so as to indicate that the jackpot has been won (step S505) , End the processing during the change. On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is not ON but lost due to jackpot (NO in step S504), it is determined that the special symbol is in the processing stage in which the special symbol is fluctuatingly stopped as it is indicated that the jackpot was dropped Is updated to “0” (step S 508), and the processing during variation is ended. That is, in this case, when the next interrupt control is performed, the next change concerning the special symbol is performed on the condition that the processing is carried out in the step S130 for the reserve digest.

[About the jackpot game preparation process]
Next, the jackpot game preparation processing (step S200) executed when the processing flag is "3" will be described. FIG. 200 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game preparation process.

  As shown in FIG. 200, in the jackpot game preparation process (step S200), the main control MPU 4100a first starts operation of the condition device as one of the conditions for executing the jackpot game (step S604). . When the time saving function is operating (YES in step S605), the operation of the time saving function is stopped based on the start of operation of the condition device (step S606), and the jackpot game mode determining process (step S607) is performed. Do. If it is determined in step S605 that the time saving function is not activated (NO in step S605), the process skips step S606 and proceeds to the jackpot game mode determination process of step S607. Although not illustrated in FIG. 200, when the condition device operates, the route detection sensor 2580R and the route detection sensor 2580L are validated based on this.

  The jackpot game mode determination process executed in step S608 is one process of the jackpot game preparation process, and the jackpot game mode determination process will be described below with reference to FIGS. 201 and 202. FIG. 201 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game mode determination process, and FIG. 202 is an example of a table used in the jackpot game mode determination process.

  As shown in FIG. 201, in the jackpot game mode determination process (step S607), the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether or not the route detection sensor 2580R has detected it (step S6071). When a game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R (YES in step S6071), the presence or absence of detection by the route detection sensor 2580L is not determined even if the game ball passes the left gate 2575L thereafter. That is, when the gaming ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R with the condition device activated (YES in step S6071), even if the gaming ball passes the left gate 2575L, the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580L Will be invalidated. On the other hand, the detection of the game ball by the route detection sensor 2580R is invalidated when the game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L, even if activated by the operation of the condition device. Specifically, when the gaming ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L (YES in step S6075) under the condition device being activated, even if the gaming ball passes the right gate 2575R thereafter, the detection by the route detection sensor 2580R The presence or absence of is not determined. That is, when the game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L while the condition device is activated (YES in step S6075), even if the game ball passes through the right gate 2575R, the game ball detection by the route detection sensor 2580R Will be invalidated.

  Also, when passage of the gaming ball to the right gate 2575R is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R in step S6071 (YES in step S6071), the jackpot flag in the flag ON state, ie, the jackpot flag turned on in step S317 is specified It is determined whether or not it is a jackpot flag of the type (step S6072). Here, if the jackpot flag of the specific type is ON (YES in step S6072), the jackpot gaming mode is determined with reference to the column of the right gate of table A in FIG. 202 (step S6073). That is, the "15" round will be determined as the jackpot game mode with the "100%" lottery probability. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S6072 that the jackpot flag of the specific type is not ON (that is, the jackpot flag of the normal type is ON) (NO in step S6072), the jackpot gaming mode is referenced with reference to Table B in FIG. Is determined (step S6074). That is, the "9" round will be determined as a jackpot game mode with a lottery probability of "100%".

  In addition, if no gaming ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R in step S6071 (NO in step S6071), it is determined whether or not the game ball has been detected by the route detection sensor 2580L (step S6075). Then, when the gaming ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L in step S6075 (YES in step S6075), whether the jackpot flag in the flag ON state, ie, the jackpot flag turned on in step S317, is the jackpot flag of the specific type It is determined whether or not it is (step S6076). Here, if the jackpot flag of the specific type is ON (YES in step S 6076), “15” round is determined as the jackpot game mode with reference to the left gate column of the table in FIG. 202 (step S 6077) . That is, the "15" round will be determined as the jackpot game mode with the "100%" lottery probability. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S6076 that the jackpot flag of the specific type is not ON (that is, the jackpot flag of the normal type is ON) (NO in step S6076), table C in FIG. 204A is referred to. Then, one of the a, b and c patterns is selected as the lottery pattern (step S6078). Then, it is determined whether or not the game ball has passed to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660, that is, whether the game ball has been detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor (step S6079). Then, when it is determined that the game ball has been detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor (YES in step S6079), the lottery pattern determined in step 6078 with reference to table D of FIG. 204 (b). Based on (a lottery pattern among the a pattern, the b pattern and the c pattern), it is determined to be a jackpot game of any of 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds (step S 6080).

  Here, the processing of the above-mentioned step S6078 and step S6080 will be specifically described. First, the route detection sensor 2580L detects that the game ball launched toward the game area 1100 has passed the left gate 2575L (step When the jackpot flag of the normal type is ON (NO in step S6076) in S6075, the probability of 20% among the plurality of lottery modes (pattern a to c) shown in FIG. 204 (a) is a. The pattern is determined to be b pattern with a probability of 40% and c pattern with a probability of 40%. And, when the lottery pattern decided in step S6078 is a pattern, as shown in FIG. 204 (b), the jackpot game of 3 rounds with a probability of 20%, the jackpot game of 6 rounds with a probability of 40%, It is decided to be a jackpot game of 15 rounds with a probability of 40%, respectively. In addition, when the lottery pattern determined in step S6078 is b pattern, 3 rounds of jackpot games with a probability of 55%, 6 rounds of jackpots with a probability of 25%, and 15 rounds of jackpots with a probability of 20% Each will be determined. Furthermore, when the lottery pattern determined in step S6078 is c pattern, 3 rounds of jackpot game with 5% probability, 6 rounds of jackpot game with 20% probability, 15 rounds of jackpot game with 70% probability Each will be determined.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as long as the player is playing a game normally, most of the game balls fired toward the game area 1100 pass through the right gate 2575R, which will always be described later. The game will be advanced under the "reliable type jackpot form". Thus, for a player who is playing a game on a gaming machine where the game proceeds under the “reliable type big hit form”, the game ball fired toward the game area 1100 is the right gate. Unless it is aimed at the timing of passing the 2575R, the possibility of the game proceeding under “the jackpot form of throbbing type” described later is very low. On the other hand, when the player intentionally targets the timing when the game ball passes the right gate 2575R, the probability that the game ball passes the right gate 2575R is increased compared to the case where the game ball is targeted. However, even if the player intentionally targets the timing when the game ball passes the right gate 2575R, the possibility of the game ball passing the left gate 2575L is still high.

  As can be seen by referring to the table of FIG. 203, the table of FIG. 204 (a) and the table of FIG. 204 (b), when the game ball passes the right gate 2575R (the game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R) When the game ball passes the left gate 2575L (when it is detected) (when the game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L), although the mode of the jackpot game to be executed is different, it is paid out during the jackpot game The expected value of the winning amount is the same (not necessarily limited to being exactly the same, including ones that are equivalent within the scope of not impairing the game characteristics). More specifically, unless the game ball passes the right gate 2575R, 9 rounds of jackpot games are executed unless the jackpot flag of a specific type is used. Also, unless the regular big hit flag, when the game ball passes the left date 2575L, although the number of rounds executed as a big hit game is different each time, the average number of rounds will be nine rounds. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the expected value of the number of winning balls to be paid out per round is the same, regardless of "relief type jackpot form" or "jacket form of pounding type". When the gaming ball passes the left gate 2575L and the right gate 2575R while the device is in operation, the expected value of the number of winning balls to be paid out in the jackpot game is the same. However, the expected value of the number of prize balls to be paid out per round does not have to be always the same, and the number of prize balls to be paid out in the jackpot game in the "relief type jackpot form" and "the pounding type of pounding type" It is acceptable if the expected value is the same.

  If the mode (the number of rounds in this example) of the jackpot game is determined in step S6073, step S6074, step S6077 or step S6078, the process proceeds to step S6081 to start operation of the bonus continuous actuation device. Then, it is determined whether the probability changing function is in operation based on the fact that the bonus product continuous operation device is in operation (step S6082). If it is determined in step S6082 that the probability changing function is in operation (YES in step S6082), the probability changing function is stopped in step S6083, and the process proceeds to step S6084. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S6082 that the probability variation function is not operating (NO in step S6082), step S6032 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S6084.

  In step S6084, the main control MPU 4100a sets the operation mode of the big winning opening 2103 based on the jackpot game mode determined in the process of step S6073, step S6074, step S6077 or step S6080. With the operation mode of the big winning opening 2103, for example, in addition to the maximum number of rounds of the round game in which the big winning opening 2103 is repeatedly opened in the big hit game, the game ball can enter the big winning opening 2103 in each round game The opening mode of the big winning opening 2103 in the big hit game is set, such as the upper limit number (for example, 9), and the opening / closing operation time limit of the opening / closing member 2106 in each round game (step S6084). Next, a jackpot start command indicating that the jackpot game is to be started, a round information command in which the determined number of rounds is indicated, a jackpot in progress flag indicating that the jackpot game is already being performed, etc. (Step S6085).

  Although described later, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the big hit start command and the round information command set in this way are transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 by the command transmission process (step S17) shown in FIG. Through the control described later by the peripheral control unit 4140 side, the display effect during the big hit game can be selectively made executable as the effect associated with the determined number of rounds.

  As described above, in the main control MPU 4100a according to this embodiment, even if the condition device is activated, the following process is performed unless passage of the game ball to the gate 2575 (left gate 2575L, right gate 2575R) is detected. The jackpot game is not executed until the passage of the game ball to the gate 2575 (left gate 2575L, right gate 2575R) is detected.

  In step S6086, the jackpot start interval presentation command is set, and then the jackpot start interval presentation timer is set, for example, to 8 seconds (step S6087), and the jackpot game mode determination process is ended. The jackpot start interval effect is a display effect to be performed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 between the activation of the character continuous actuation device and the start of the opening and closing of the opening and closing member 2106, for example, Is a display effect or the like indicating that is to be started.

  When the jackpot game mode determination process in step S607 is completed, the process proceeds to step S609, where it is determined whether the jackpot start interval effect set in step S6087 is timed up, and the time is up (YES in step S609) The processing flag is updated to "4" (step S610) on the assumption that the jackpot start interval effect has ended (step S610), and the fluctuation processing is ended.

[About the jackpot game processing]
Next, the jackpot gaming process (step S210) executed when the processing flag is "4" will be described. FIG. 205 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot gaming process.

  As shown in FIG. 205, in the big hit game process (step S210), the main control MPU 4100a first determines whether the big winning opening 2103 is open as the process of step S801. If it is open (YES in step S801), then as the processing of step S802, the opening time of the special winning opening 2103 (the elapsed time after opening) is set in the processing of step S6084 (see FIG. 201). It is determined whether the open / close operation time limit has been reached. As a result, when it is determined that the open / close operation limit time has elapsed (YES in step S802), the special winning opening 2103 is closed by closing the open / close member 2106 (step S804).

  However, even if it is determined that the set open / close operation restriction time has not yet elapsed in the process of step S802 (NO in step S802), the same applies after the special winning opening 2103 is opened. When the number of gaming balls entering the special winning opening 2103 is equal to or more than the upper limit number (for example, nine) set in the process of step S6084 (YES in step S803), the above step S804 The process is switched to and the big winning opening 2103 is closed. On the other hand, if the set open / close operation restriction time has not yet passed (NO in step S802), and the number of gaming balls entering the special winning opening 2103 has not yet reached the upper limit number, (No in step S803), the special winning opening 2103 is maintained in the open state until the condition of step S802 or step S803 is satisfied. Then, when the condition of step S802 or step S803 is satisfied, the big hit game processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S801 that the special winning opening 2103 is not open, the number of times the opening of the special winning opening 2103 by the opening / closing member 2106 (the number of round games) is the above-mentioned step S6084 (FIG. 201). It is determined whether or not the maximum number of rounds set in the process of reference) has been reached (step S805). Then, if it has not reached (NO in step S805), the open / close member 2106 is operated to open the big winning opening 2103 (step S806), and the big hit game processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S805 that the round game has already been performed for the maximum number of rounds, the jackpot is stopped by stopping the operation of the bonus continuous actuation device (a hit with the operation of the condition device) The operation of the opening / closing member 2106 performed on the condition that the player has been elected is switched to a state in which the operation (big hit game) is disabled. That is, in this case, the main control MPU 4100a executes the processing of step S807 to step S812, for example, the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a) separately from the jackpot flag in the processing of step S317 (see FIG. 197). The jackpot game processing is ended after setting the gaming state after the jackpot game based on the jackpot type of the jackpot, which is the execution trigger of the jackpot game stored in the. Here, the winning type refers to whether or not it is a winning type that operates the probability variation function or the time saving function.

  When it is determined in the process of step S805 that the round game has already been performed for the maximum number of rounds (YES in step S805), first, the big hit flag and the big hit game in progress flag are respectively turned off ( Step S807), it decides the winning class of the big hit which is made the execution opportunity of the said big hit game (step S808). Here, in the process of step S 808, it is determined whether or not the winning type for operating the probability variation function (for example, the jackpot symbol random number is 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9). As a result, when it is determined that it is not a winning type for operating the probability variation function, the process proceeds to the above-described step S811 without activating either the probability variation function or the time saving function. On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S808 that it is a winning type for activating the probability variation function, the probability variation function is activated (step S809) and the time saving function is activated (step S810). Next, the process proceeds to step S811. Step S811 is processing to stop the operation of the condition device. When the operation of the condition device is stopped (step S811), when the processing flag is set to "0" (step S812), the big hit game processing is ended.

  According to such a big hit game processing, until it is determined that the round game has reached the maximum round number in the process of step 805, the big winning opening 2103 is an opening mode according to the type of the big hit (step S802 , Step S803, and step S805), the game is repeatedly opened, and consequently, the player can obtain a prize ball according to the type of the jackpot.

The first special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216 selected from the table and the first special symbol variation selected by the first special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216 The first special symbol display control means 4218 for variably displaying the first special symbol of the first special symbol display 1185 based on the turn, and the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 A first special symbol storage number display control means 4220 to be displayed on the first special symbol storage display 1184 as the storage number is provided. Although not shown in FIG. 189, the main control board 4100 is further provided with a first jackpot symbol random number generation means and a second jackpot symbol random number generation means. If the first special lottery result is a jackpot, the random number generated by the first jackpot symbol random number generation means is acquired, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol is determined. Similarly, when the second special lottery result is a jackpot, the random number generated by the second jackpot symbol random number generation means is acquired, and the stop symbol of the second special symbol is determined.

  Furthermore, on the main control board 4100, a second predetermined special lottery result for the second special symbol based on the detection signal detected by the second start opening sensor 3132 by the start winning to the second start opening 2102 A second special random number generation means 4222 for generating a special random number, and a second special symbol hold storage means 4224 for temporarily storing the second special random number generated in the second special random number generation means 4222 according to a predetermined condition; A predetermined special symbol variation display pattern stored in advance in the ROM of the main control board 4100 with a second special symbol variation pattern corresponding to the second special random number stored on the second special symbol holding storage means 4224 and executed The second special symbol variation pattern selected by the second special symbol variation pattern selection unit 4226 selected from the table and the second special symbol variation pattern selection unit 4226 The second special symbol display control means 4228 for variably displaying the second special symbol of the second special symbol display 1186 based on the number of the second special random number stored in the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 A second special symbol storage number display control means 4230 is displayed on the second special symbol storage display 1187 as the storage number.

  The first special symbol hold storage means 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 are new special symbols such as the first and second special symbols being changed display by the first and second special symbol display control means 4218, 4228 The first special random number and the second special random number triggered by the detection signals from the first starting opening sensor 3131 and the second starting opening sensor 3132 can not be changed and displayed in predetermined numbers (for example, four each) ) And hold the execution of the first special random number and the second special random number stored until the variable display of the special symbol becomes possible.

  In addition, on the main control board 4100, the first special random number and the second special random number held by the first special symbol holding storage means 4214 and the second special symbol holding storage means 4224, the start winning prize to the starting openings 2101, 2102 The system is provided with a priority reserve digesting means 4231 for giving priority to the second special random number (timing) rather than timing, and the second reserve random number according to the priority reserve digesting means 4231 relates to the second starting port 2102 Holding of the lottery results is prioritized and executed (digested).

  In addition, the first special random number (the first special lottery result) and the second special random number (the second special random number (the second special random number) stored in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 in the main control board 4100 An advantageous gaming state generation means 4232 for generating an advantageous gaming state which is advantageous for the player based on the special lottery result), and an opening / closing member 2106 for closing the special winning opening 2103 based on an instruction from the advantageous gaming state generation means 4232 A special winning opening / closing control means 4234 is provided to drive and control the attachment solenoid 2121 so as to open and close in a predetermined pattern.

  In addition, according to the first special random number and the second special random number (the first special symbol fluctuation pattern and the second special symbol fluctuation pattern) in which the advantageous gaming state is generated by the advantageous gaming state generation means 4232 in the main control board 4100, It further comprises fluctuation pattern table changing means 4236 for changing the first special symbol fluctuation pattern table and the second special symbol fluctuation pattern table. The variation pattern table changing means 4236 changes, for example, to a variation pattern table (for example, a high probability variation pattern table) which is selected with a high probability that the variation pattern generated by the advantageous gaming state is higher than the normal variation pattern table Change to a variation pattern table (for example, a time reduction variation pattern table) with a time variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol being shorter than a normal variation pattern table (so-called definite variation) (so-called, short time) The probability of occurrence of the advantageous gaming state is higher than normal, and it is changed to a variation pattern table (for example, a probability variation time variation pattern table) having a short variation time of a special symbol (so-called probability variation / time shortening).

  In this example, in the advantageous game state generation means 4232, a detection signal from the route detection sensor 2580 (2580L, 2580R) is input, and according to the detection signal from the route detection sensor 2580, It is possible to decide the jackpot form.

  Furthermore, in the main control board 4100, a normal symbol variation pattern, a first symbol variation pattern, a second symbol variation pattern, and a first special symbol storage according to the normal random number, the first special random number, and the second special random number, Command generation means 4238 for generating commands for predetermined control such as rendering commands based on the second special symbol storage etc., and command transmission means 4240 for transmitting commands generated by the command generation means 4238 to the peripheral control unit 4140 And have.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is transparent by the player rotating the handle device 500 disposed at the lower right of the door frame 5. The game ball is started to be launched into the upper part of the game area 1100 arranged on the front of the panel 1200. The game balls driven into the upper part in the game area 1100 flow down in the game area 1100 on the upper left side or the right side of the center character 2500 depending on the hitting strength. The hitting strength of the game ball can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle device 500, and can be hit harder as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Further, in the game area 1100, a plurality of obstacle nails are implanted at a suitable position in the front of the game panel 1200 with a predetermined gauge arrangement, and the game ball is in contact with the obstacle nails to allow the game balls to flow down. While the speed is suppressed, various motions are given to the game ball and the motions can be enjoyed.

  When the game ball driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the left side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500, the plurality of obstacle nails or the inclined upper surface of the peripheral wall 2503 causes the center The user is guided to the area on the left side of the character 2500. In addition, when the gaming ball driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the right side of the highest part of the peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500, it enters the receiving space 2530 through the receiving entry passage 2545 After being sent, it is discharged into the game area 1100 on the upstream side of the big winning opening 2103 in the attacker unit 2100 disposed downstream of the gate unit 2301 and the stage 2510 via the guide passage 2540.

  Then, when the gaming ball which has flowed down the area on the left side of the center prize 2500 in the gaming area 1100 enters and passes through the gate portion 2301 of the gate unit 2300 and is detected by the gate sensor 2302, the main based on the detection signal In the control board 4100, the normal random number generation means 4200 generates an ordinary random number as an ordinary lottery result. Then, based on the ordinary random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (the normal symbol display 1189 consisting of one LED emits light alternately in red, green and orange), Normal symbols extracted after a predetermined time (for example, between 2 seconds and 30 seconds) elapse and based on normal random numbers (normal lottery results) are stop displayed (normal symbol indicator 1189 emits either red or green) . The variation display of the normal symbol is performed based on the normal symbol variation pattern selected from the predetermined normal symbol variation pattern selection table in the normal symbol variation pattern selection unit 4204.

  Specifically, in the case where the drawn normal random number is a "normal hit" random number, stop display is made with a normal symbol that suggests a hit (normal symbol indicator 1189 emits green light), and the drawn normal random number is a "normal loss" random number In this case, the stop display is made with a normal symbol that suggests a loss (normal symbol display 1189 emits light in red). Then, when the normal symbol indicating a hit is stopped and displayed, the pair of movable pieces 2105 closing the second start opening 2102 is expanded for a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds), The game ball can be awarded to the second starting opening 2102.

  The variation time of the normal symbol and the expansion time of the movable piece 2105 at the second starting opening 2102 may be changed according to a special random number (special lottery result) described later, for example, a special random number (special When “short time per minute (including normal short time per, high probability short per time, etc.)” is extracted as a lottery result), the fluctuation time or the spread time may be changed to a short time. Specifically, for example, the normal symbol variation pattern table for selecting the normal symbol variation pattern in the normal symbol variation pattern selection means 4204 can be easily changed by selecting it after replacing it with a different table.

  By the way, in this example, when passage of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2302 while the normal symbol is being changed and displayed in the normal symbol display 1189, the normal symbol during the change is stopped and the normal generated and extracted earlier Until the result of the random number is determined, the normal random number (including the normal pattern variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2302 is temporarily stored in the normal pattern holding storage means 4202 and the display thereof The number of stored ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of reservations) is displayed on the normal symbol storage display 1188. This ordinary symbol memory display 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and the number of LEDs to be lit indicates the number of memories, and in this example, it is possible to store and display up to four. ing. When the number of memories exceeds four, the normal random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2302 is discarded.

  In addition, the game ball which has been driven into the game area 1100 and flowed down the left side of the center character 2500 is moved to the center side of the game area 1100 below the center character 2500 by the shelves 2202 and 2203 of the front side unit 2200 It is supposed to be Then, when the game ball is won in the general winning opening 2104, 2201 arranged below the center character 2500 and detected by the general winning opening sensor 2123, 3133, the main control board 4100 is based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is transmitted to the payout control board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the winning ball device 740 according to the payout command, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are , To be dispensed to the upper plate 301.

  If the game ball driven into the game area 1100 does not win in any of the general winning opening 2104, 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, the game is played. From the out port 1232 (1151) provided at the center lower end in the left-right direction of the area 1100, the game board 4 is discharged to the rear lower side. In addition, even if the game balls are won in any of the general winning openings 2104 and 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, the winning balls are returned to the gaming area 1100. It is discharged to the rear lower side of the game board 4 without being hit.

  By the way, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center character 2500 enters the warp entrance 2504 opened on the left side of the center character 2500, it is supplied to the stage 2510 of the center character 2500. More specifically, the gaming ball entering the warp entrance 2504 is supplied from the warp exit 2505 to the left end of the first stage 2511 in the stage 2510, and is the site that is mainly the lowest after rolling the first stage 2511 in the left-right direction. It is discharged forward from the Then, the gaming balls released forward from the first stage 2511 are supplied to the second stage 2512 disposed on the front side and the lower side of the first stage 2511 and are the most after rolling the second stage 2512 in the left-right direction. It is released forward from the lowered central area.

  The gaming balls released forward from the second stage 2512 are supplied to the third stage 2513 disposed on the front and lower side of the second stage 2512 and become lowest after rolling the third stage 2513 in the left-right direction Released backwards from the The gaming ball released from the third stage 2513 is the fourth stage arranged between the third stage 2513 and the first stage 2511 below the third stages 2513 on the left and right sides of the second stage 2512. After being supplied to 2514 and rolling the fourth stage 2514 in the left-right direction, the fourth stage 2514 is discharged downward from the drop hole 2514a. Furthermore, the gaming ball discharged downward from the drop hole 2514a of the fourth stage 2514 is supplied to the fifth stage 2515 disposed immediately below the fourth stage 2514, and after rolling the fifth stage 2515 in the left-right direction The lowermost portion of the left and right sides of the center of the left and right direction is discharged forward and is returned to the inside of the game area 1100.

  When the gaming ball rolling on this stage 2510 enters the first chance entrance 2516 of the first stage 2511 or the second chance entrance 2517 of the second stage 2512, it is from the chance exit 2518 opened immediately above the first start opening 2101 It is released into the game area 1100 and can be received to the first starting opening 2101 with high probability. Then, when the gaming ball is received by the first starting opening 2101 and detected by the first starting opening sensor 3131, a predetermined number (for example, three) of gaming balls from the winning ball device 740 via the main control board 4100 etc. Is to be dispensed to the upper plate 301.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, since the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 are arranged in the vertical direction, the gaming balls released from the stage 2510 have a high probability of being the first Since it is likely to be accepted by the starting opening 2101 etc. and the gaming ball is released from the stage 2510 when the second starting opening 2102 is acceptable, not only the first starting opening 2101 The second starting port 2102 can also have a sense of expectation regarding the reception of the game ball and can enhance the interest.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the game ball is driven to flow down the right side of the center character 2500, the game ball to the upstream side of the big winning opening 2103 in the attachment unit 2100 through the receiving space 2530 and the like. Is released, so that when the big winning opening 2103 is acceptable, it is possible to have the gaming ball be accepted to the big winning opening 2103 with high probability. Therefore, in the gaming state where the special winning opening 2103 can be received, the game ball can be hit so that the game ball rolls in the receiving space 2530. In other words, in the gaming state where the special winning opening 2103 can be received, it is possible to cause the special winning opening 2103 to be accepted with high probability through the receiving space 2530 simply by striking the gaming ball harder than a predetermined amount. It is supposed to be.

  By the way, when the game ball passes through the gate portion 2301 of the gate member 2400 and is detected by the gate sensor 2302 and a "normal hit" is drawn as a normal lottery result, as described above, the second starting opening 2102 is closed. When the pair of movable pieces 2105 is expanded for a predetermined time and becomes possible to win, and the game ball is received by the second start opening 2102 and detected by the second start opening sensor 3132 when the winning becomes possible, main control A predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the upper tray 301 from the winning ball device 740 via the substrate 4100 and the like.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, when the game ball wins in the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102, and is detected by the first starting opening sensor 3131 and the second starting opening sensor 3132, the first starting The first special random number generation means 4212 generates and extracts a predetermined first special random number in the mouth 2101, and the second start random number 2102 generates and extracts a predetermined second special random number by the second special random number generation means 4222. It will be. Then, after the variation display of the special symbol displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started based on the extracted special random number, The special symbol corresponding to the special random number is stopped and displayed as the special lottery result.

  In the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests a "big hit", the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern A special advantage gaming state (for example, a jackpot game) is generated, and in the meantime, by winning the gaming ball to the large winning opening 2103, more gaming balls can be acquired. It should be noted that, when one game ball wins the big winning opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740. However, even if the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests a "big hit", a big hit game does not occur immediately, but a condition device that becomes a condition required for a big hit game to be activated is activated. Then, based on the jackpot game mode being determined, execution of the jackpot game in the determined jackpot game mode is started. In addition, the jackpot game mode is determined to be the jackpot game of 9 rounds when the game ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R during the effective period when the detection of the game ball by the route detection sensor 2580 (2580L, 2580R) is activated. Be done. Also, during the valid period, when the gaming ball is detected in the route detection sensor 2580L, the jackpot determination gate detection sensor 3665 is activated, and when the gaming ball is detected in the jackpot determination gate detection sensor 3665, The jackpot game of 3 rounds, 6 rounds or 15 rounds is decided based on.

  It should be noted that the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 is not activated when the gaming ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R before it is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L when the condition device is activated, and the game is played When a sphere is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L before it is detected by the route detection sensor 2580R, it is validated based on this. Then, when the passage of the gaming ball to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 is detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 during the period when the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 is activated, the jackpot mode is based on this. The activation of the determination gate detection sensor 3665 ends.

  In addition, also in these 1st starting opening 2101 and 2nd starting opening 2102, the 1st special symbol indicator 1185 and the 2nd special symbol display as well as the fluctuation indication of the normal design by passage of the game sphere to gate component 2400 The game ball wins on the starting opening 2101 and 2102 when the special symbol can not be changed and displayed during the special symbol changing display in the bowl 1186 or the big hit game as the special advantageous gaming state etc., and the first starting opening sensor While being detected by 3131 and the second starting opening sensor 3132, it is extracted based on the detection signals from the first starting opening sensor 3131 and the second starting opening sensor 3132 until the variation display of the special symbol becomes possible. We store the first special random number and the second special random number in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 and hold the display It is, has a number of the stored special random numbers, to be displayed in the first special symbol memory indicator 1184 or the second special symbol memory indicator 1187.

  Each of the first special symbol memory display 1184 and the second special symbol memory display 1187 consists of two LEDs, and the combination of the light-emitting states of the light-off, light-on, and blinking LEDs indicates the number of memories. In this example, up to four of each are stored and displayed. When the number of memories exceeds four, the extracted special random numbers are discarded. In addition, the second special random number stored (held) by the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 by the priority hold and digest unit 4231 has priority over the first special random number stored by the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 Are to be carried out (digested). That is, withholding of the lottery result relating to the second starting port 2102 and the third starting port 2415 is executed (digested) in preference to holding of the lottery result relating to the first starting port 2101.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first special random number or the second special random number special random number extracted based on the detection of the first starting opening sensor 3131 and the second starting opening sensor 3132 is selected as the first special symbol variation pattern selection The special random numbers are “losing” and “big hit” by collating with a predetermined random number determination table (also referred to as a special symbol fluctuation pattern table) determined in advance by means 4216 or second special symbol fluctuation pattern selection means 4226 While being judged as which, it is judged also about the stop symbol of a special symbol. In addition, the random number determination table is also configured to determine "perhaps with a certain time variation", "perhaps with a certain variation", "per time variation", "a certain probability during a short time" and the like.

  Then, the first special random number and the second special random number extracted (lottery) triggered by the start winning of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 (special drawing result), the "big hit" In the case, as described above, the main control board 4100 activates the condition device that is one condition for executing the jackpot game. The advantageous game state generation means 4232 executes a big hit game advantageous to the player, and a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) has elapsed after the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened, or predetermined A round game of opening and closing patterns (one opening and closing pattern is referred to as one round) in which the opening and closing member 2106 is closed when any number of (for example, nine) game balls satisfy the winning condition in the large winning opening 2103 Are repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds). For example, if 3 rounds are determined as a jackpot game mode, "3 times", if 9 rounds are determined, "9 times", if 6 rounds are determined, "6 times", 15 rounds are determined. If so, by repeating the round game "15 times", an advantageous game state advantageous to the player is generated.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the extracted first special random number and second special random number are “big hit”, the main control board 4100 plays the gate 2575 based on the activation of the condition device. It is possible to accept the detection signal of the gaming ball from the route detection sensor 2580 (2580L, 2580R) when the ball passes, and from which route detection sensor 2580L, 2580R the detection signal is sent first, As described above, any one of a plurality of jackpot forms having different processing structures, etc., for determining the number of rounds of the "big hit" game is determined.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first special random number and the second special random number extracted in response to the start winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the third starting opening 2415 (In accordance with the special lottery result), the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 are variably displayed, and in the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 Also, the effect image corresponding to the special random number (special lottery result) is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like, the variable display of each symbol row is started in a state in which a series of symbol rows consisting of a plurality of different symbols are displayed in a plurality of rows (for example, three rows). When the stop display is performed and all the symbol rows are finally stop displayed, the determination result of the special random number extracted by the combination of the stopped display symbols is suggested to the player. That is, according to the special lottery result by the starting winning combination, after the plurality of symbol rows are variably displayed, the effect image to be stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result is displayed. In addition, since the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like are larger than the special symbols on the first and second special symbol displays 1185 and 1186, the player generally displays the symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like. It will pay attention to the symbol that was made.

  As one of the effect images on which a plurality of symbol rows are variably displayed, a combination of symbols stopped and displayed with one fluctuating symbol row displayed is displayed such that a specific condition (reach) is satisfied. As a special lottery result in which the "reach effect image" is displayed, there are "reach per reach" and "reach lost". In addition, there is also a "reach development effect image" which is displayed so as to be connected to the "reach effect image" and emphasizes and displays the remaining symbol rows variably displayed after reach display. Further, on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like, not only the effect display related to the start winning, but also the "big hit game effect image" displayed during the "big hit" game can be displayed.

  The variation display of the special symbols on the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 189). The variation display of symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like is controlled by the periphery control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control unit 4150 based on the command according to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the periphery control unit 4140 It has become. In this way, the peripheral control unit 4140 controls the variation display of symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like to which the player pays particular attention. Therefore, some of the lottery results transmitted from the main control board 4100 For one command, a plurality of fluctuation patterns of symbols can be prepared in advance to increase the fluctuation patterns of symbols in the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like. The "big hit game effect image" and the like displayed in the "big hit" game and the like are also controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 and the like, and effect images of various patterns are prepared in advance. As a result, the display pattern of the effect image to be displayed can be increased without increasing the load of the arithmetic processing on the main control board 4100, and the pachinko machine 1 can be made more entertaining to the player and less likely to get bored. It has become.

  Further, in the peripheral control unit 4140, in addition to the control of the effect image, each drive motor 3228, 3234, 3304, 3460, 3476, 3508 provided in the front unit 2000 or the rear unit 3000 based on the command related to the lottery result. , And each solenoid etc. is appropriately operated, and each decoration substrate 2116, 2125, 2569, 3113, 3114, 3115, 3123, 324, 3266, 3320, 3322, 3426, 3536, 3546, provided on the game board 4 The LEDs mounted on the 3690, 3692, etc. are made to emit light as appropriate, so that the player can be entertained by the movable effect and the light emission effect.

  By the way, if the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is a jackpot, as described above, in the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186, it indicates that it is a "big hit" When the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode, and then the gaming ball passes through the gates 2575L and 2575R while the condition device is activated, and the gaming ball is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L and 2580R, (When the game ball passes the left gate 2575L, in addition to the detection of the route detection sensor 2580L and when it is further detected by the jackpot determination game detection sensor 3622), the jackpot game is started. However, the first special lottery and the second special lottery performed in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment are different in the role to be played from the special symbol lottery in the conventional pachinko machine as follows.

  Hereinafter, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, the game characteristics from when the predetermined start condition is established (NO in step S301) to when the jackpot game is started will be summarized.

  A process in which determination of a jackpot is made when a predetermined start condition is satisfied (NO in step S301) based on the start winning to the first start opening 2101 or the start winning to the second start opening 2102 Step S315), the process of determining the type of benefit when a big hit game is played (step S316, step S607), and the result of the judgment about whether or not to play a big hit game is indicated on the variable display of the symbol A series of processes related to the special symbol game in which the execution of each process is sequentially permitted such as the process of performing such control (step S150, step S180), and so on (NO in step S301, the processing flag is "0 The process until it is updated to "" is started.

  However, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, the gates 2575L and 2575R capable of receiving the game balls driven into the game area 1100 are prepared separately from the starting openings 1502 and 1506, When the start condition is satisfied, of the processes (step S316 and step S607) for determining the type of benefit when the jackpot game is performed, the execution mode determination process in which the execution mode when the jackpot game is performed is determined In step S607, a series of processes relating to the game of the special symbol is performed so that the process is not performed yet.

  That is, the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment is a lottery type for a jackpot game such as "reliable type jackpot form" and "a pounding type jackpot type" described later with respect to one result such as "jackpot". It is not yet decided which of the plurality of jackpots to be adopted in the processing in which judgment on the jackpot is made after either of the two different jackpots is adopted alternatively. I will make a decision on the matter. As a result, when the jackpot is won, the condition control is operated after symbol control is performed so that the jackpot symbol combination appears, and then the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580L and the route detection sensor 2580R is performed. Activate the game according to which of the two gates 2575L and 2575R the game ball has passed, and proceed with the game under "reliable type jackpot form" and "shocked type jackpot form", which will be described later. It is decided to decide what to do.

  However, even if the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580L and the route detection sensor 2580R is enabled, the operation mode of the movable valve 2551 of the receiving unit 2550 is simply directed to the gaming area 1100 Basically, such gaming balls are more likely to be guided to the right route than the left route. That is, when the jackpot is won, the pachinko machine 1 basically makes the game proceed with a relief type jackpot and is a stability-oriented player who wants to obtain a certain amount of prize balls. It is a game machine for players. And for such a stability-oriented player, since the launched gaming ball is basically guided to the right route, both the "reliable type jackpot form" and the "jacket type jackpot form" are provided. It is possible to eliminate the annoyance of having to select either the relief type or the pounding type each time a possible state is achieved (the jackpot is won).

  However, even if it is a player who desires stability intention, if he wants to bring about a change in the game, he does not proceed with the game based on the “reliable type jackpot form”, but darely, “does pounding type There is also a case where it is desired to advance the game under the jackpot form. There are also cases where a player who is originally speculative-oriented plays a game with such a gaming machine. In these cases, the game characteristics such as having to shoot the game ball aiming at a small chance that the game ball is induced to the left route are added.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game is advanced under "the pounding type of pounding type", the jackpot game of three rounds or the jackpot game of six rounds as described above as a jackpot game of a few rounds. It is supposed to be decided. Here, although being able to be decided not only to three rounds of big hit games but also to six rounds of big hit games as a few rounds of big hit games, the player is aiming for a "hit pounding type of big hit form" When it is not determined that the jackpot of the large number of rounds (15 rounds), it is possible to leave room to be determined for the jackpot of 6 rounds, which in turn can reduce discouragement given to the player.

  Here, the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment detects that the game ball has passed through the right gate 2575R during a period in which the detection of the game ball by the route detection sensor 2580L or the route detection sensor 2580R is activated. When detected by the sensor 2580R, the game under the "reliable type jackpot form" is advanced. In the game under the "reliable type jackpot form", first, based on the jackpot type (value for jackpot symbol random number) which has already been determined (step S316) when executing the jackpot game, A lottery process in which the execution mode is determined is performed.

  For example, in the process of step S316, when it is determined that the jackpot of the specific type is not determined, it is shown in FIG. 203 based on the jackpot game mode determination random number acquired when detected by the route detection sensor 2580R. By referring to the table, the "9" round will be determined as the jackpot gaming mode with a lottery probability of "100%". However, as described above, in the process of step S316 that has already been processed, it may be determined that it is a jackpot of a specific type with a probability of "10%" based on the jackpot symbol random number, as a result When the flag indicating that is set to ON in the process of step S317, the right gate of the table shown in FIG. 202 is obtained based on the jackpot gaming mode determination random number acquired when detected by the route detection sensor 2580R. The “15” round is determined as the jackpot game mode with the “100%” lottery probability by referring to the column of “4”.

  As described above, the game under the "reliable type jackpot form" is a jackpot game in which the payout of a certain amount or more of prize balls is guaranteed such that the round game is repeated at least nine times. It is supposed to be started.

  On the other hand, when it is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L that the game ball has passed the left gate 2575L during the period when the detection of the game balls by the route detection sensor 2580L or the route detection sensor 2580R is activated, Advance the game under the jackpot form. Also in the game under this "big hit form of pounding type", first, when executing the big hit game, its execution mode based on the type (win kind) of the big hit that has already been determined (step S316) Perform a lottery process that is decided.

  However, the processing structure concerning the progress of such a game is different from the case of the “reliable type jackpot form”, and for example, when it is determined in the process of step S316 that it is not a jackpot of a specific type Using the jackpot game mode determination random number acquired when the passage of the game ball to the left gate 2575L is detected by the sensor 2580L, referring to the table of FIG. Decide on one. Then, when the passage of the gaming ball to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 is detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, based on the determined lottery pattern (any one of the a pattern to the c pattern), Referring to FIG. 204 (b), processing is performed in which "15" round or "3" round is determined as a jackpot game mode. On the other hand, in the process of step S316 that has already been processed, when it is determined that the jackpot of the specific type is "10%" based on the jackpot symbol random number (in the process of step S317 When the flag indicating that is turned ON), the left gate column of the table shown in FIG. 202 is based on the jackpot game mode determination random number acquired when detected by the route detection sensor 2580L. By referring to the "100%" lottery probability, the "15" round is determined as the jackpot game mode.

  As described above, in the game under the "rapid jackpot form of throbbing type", the "3" round (the smallest payout is not made even if the payout of a certain amount of payout balls is guaranteed in the "reliable type jackpot form" A game type risk is given as a game mode in which only balls are obtained as a jackpot game mode, or the probability that "15" round is determined as a jackpot game mode is increased, etc. Compared to the case of the jackpot form, the processing structure according to the game lottery when the jackpot is won is different although it is possible to execute either from the jackpot of one jackpot.

  Note that the processing structure under the “reliable type big hit form” is the processing of steps S6072 to S6074 shown in FIG. 201 and the processing of steps S6081 and subsequent steps on the premise of the processing of steps S6072 to S6074. The processing structure under the "big hit form of pounding type" is the processing of steps S6076-S6080 shown in FIG. Of each process.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 114, the left gate 2575L and the right gate 2575R are both shown in FIG. 136 while being provided intentionally in the receiving unit 2550. Basically, the gaming ball is made easier to pass through the right gate 2575R than the left gate 2575L by the movable valve 2551 for guiding the gaming ball received in the receiving unit 2550 to the left gate 2575L. Therefore, as a player, although it will be in a state where it is possible to grant both "relief type jackpot form" and "shocking type jackpot form", basically, always keep a certain amount of balls out The game will be advanced under the “reliable type jackpot form” that can be done.

  However, as described above, basically, the movable valve 2551 according to this embodiment is a mode (a mode of FIG. 137) in which the game ball is easily guided to the right route than the left route in the reception space 2530. When the game ball is fired at a specific timing that periodically visits, the game ball is pivoted to a mode in which the game ball can be guided to the left route in the reception space 2530 (a mode of FIG. 136).

  The movable valve 2551 in the present embodiment is maintained for a predetermined time (18 seconds) in a mode (a mode of FIG. 137) in which gaming balls are easily guided to the right route than the left route in the reception space 2530 Then, it rotates and is maintained for a short time (two seconds) in a mode (a mode of FIG. 136) in which the gaming ball is easily guided to the left side route than the right side route in the receiving space 2530. Then, when such a short time has elapsed, the movable valve 2551 pivots again, and the mode of FIG. 137 is obtained. The movable valve 2551 repeatedly performs such a pivoting operation in the same pattern.

  Note that, in the case where 100 game balls are fired in one minute when the game balls are fired continuously, the game balls are more easily induced to the left route than the right route in the receiving space 2530. It is preferable that (for the mode of FIG. 136) that only about 2 seconds be maintained at the maximum. About three balls of game balls can be fired during this two seconds, but the range of time lag which occurs from the time the game balls are fired to the arrival of the movable valve 2551 and the planting area 1100 In consideration of the influence of the obstacle nails set up, even if the game ball is launched aiming at the timing when the game ball is easily guided to the left route, the game ball is not necessarily induced to the left route (rather, it is right It is more likely that gaming balls will be induced to the route).

  In addition, the time during which game balls are easily guided to the right route than the left route in the receiving space 2530 (the embodiment in FIG. 137) is at least the game ball on the left route than the right route in the receiving space 2530 It is essential that the time is longer than the time maintained in the embodiment in which it is easy to be induced (the embodiment of FIG. 136), and it is preferable to maintain at least about 10 seconds. Since game balls of about 16 balls can be fired during this 10 seconds, the game balls are more easily induced to the left route than the right route in the receiving space 2530 (the embodiment of FIG. 136). If the game time is, for example, 2 seconds, if the game ball is just fired without aiming at either the right route or the left route, the game ball is induced on the right route and the game ball is induced on the left route. The ratio with the case (the ratio between the case where it is determined to be the jackpot form of the relief type) and the case where it is determined to be the jackpot form of the pounding type is approximately 18 to 2. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball is easily guided to the left route than the right route in the receiving space 2530 (in the mode of FIG. 136) and maintained for a predetermined time (2 seconds). Since the game ball is maintained for a short time (two seconds) in a mode (the mode of FIG. 137) in which the game ball is easily induced to the right route than the left route in the left route The ratio with the case where the gaming ball is induced (the ratio when it is determined to be the "reliable type jackpot type" to the "when it is determined to be the pounding type jackpot type") is approximately 18 to 2.

  However, the game ball is always guided to the right route when the game ball is just fired without aiming at either the right route or the left route, and when the game ball is fired to aim the left route, the left route is used. Based on the viewpoint that the game ball may be induced (the game ball may be induced to the right route), the game ball is more likely to be induced to the right route than the left route in the receiving space 2530 The time maintained in (the mode of FIG. 137) is 10 seconds or more (the time when game balls of 16 to 17 balls or more are guided to the right route), and the game balls are on the left route than the right route in the receiving space 2530. It is preferable to set the time maintained in the easily guided mode (the mode of FIG. 136) to 2 seconds or less (the time for which about three game balls are guided to the left route) as described aboveThen, when the game ball is simply fired without aiming at either the right route or the left route, the game proceeds under the "reliable type jackpot form" with a probability of about 90% or more. However, when the game ball is launched aiming at the left side route (aiming at the timing when the movable valve 2551 is maintained in the mode of FIG. 136), such a game ball may have the game ball induced to the left side route, That is, there is a possibility that the game will proceed under the "big hit type of pounding type". Here, what is important here is the ratio of the time maintained in the embodiment of FIG. 137 to the time maintained in the embodiment of FIG. 136 in one reciprocation between the embodiment of FIG. 137 and the embodiment of FIG. Instead, the time maintained in the embodiment of FIG. 136 is to be shortened. Because even if the ratio of the time maintained in the embodiment of FIG. 137 to the time maintained in the embodiment of FIG. 136 is small, if the time maintained in the embodiment of FIG. It is because it becomes easy to aim to be guided to the route.

  That is, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, although the gaming ball is basically guided to the right route rather than the left route, the operation timing of the movable valve 2551 that allows the guidance of the gaming ball to the left route. If it is desired to proceed with the game under the “jackpot form of pounding type” by daring to have periodicity in the left side route in the receiving space 2530 by adjusting the firing timing of the gaming balls It is intended to provide a technically intrusive game aiming to roll the game ball to the (left gate 2575L). As a result, when the game ball passes the left gate 2575L and then the game ball is detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, a round lottery process is performed as a game under the "jackpot form of pounding type". Will be done.

  According to such a configuration, if the game ball is merely fired toward the game area 1100, the game is performed on the right gate 2575R (right route) rather than the left gate 2575L (left route) in the receiving unit 2550. Because the ball is easy to be induced (always on the right route), the stable route player who wants to obtain a certain amount of winning balls when the jackpot game is executed, the right route or the left route It is possible to reduce the burden of having to make a choice. Also, from the time when the game ball is induced to the right route while being aware of the risk that only a small amount of winning balls can be obtained than when the game ball is induced to the right route when the jackpot game is executed For a speculative-oriented player who wants to play a game that can earn a large amount of prize balls, it is interesting that the game balls are launched to aim at the game balls being induced to the left route with few chances. It becomes. This makes it possible to enjoy the fun of realizing different game characteristics depending on the induction destination of the game ball while reducing the burden of having to be aware of the launch timing of the game ball.

  As described above, the game ball passes through the left gate 2575L while the game ball is always induced to the right gate 2575R (right route) simply by firing the game ball toward the game area 1100. As a result of the player firing the game ball aiming at a possible timing, when the game ball passes the left gate 2575L, the game is progressed under the “jackpot type of pounding type” the player desires Become. In this case, the player receives a small number of jackpot games in a small number of rounds, that is, the amount of prize balls obtained when the game proceeds under the “reliable type jackpot form” (a fixed amount of jackpots obtained in nine rounds of jackpot games A large number of rounds (15 rounds) of jackpots being executed while being prepared for the risk that a small number of rounds (3 rounds, 6 rounds) of jackpots in which only the amount of prize balls below the prize ball amount is paid out Expecting to be playing games.

  Therefore, although the game balls fired toward the game area 1100 are always guided to the right route (the route on which the game progresses in the “relief type big hit form”), the player aims at the left as a result of aiming In the case of being induced to the root (the route on the side where the game progresses in "the pounding type of pounding type"), the expected value of the award amount to be paid out is the same as the case where the gaming ball is induced to the right route. Nevertheless, high expectation effect (display effect of A pattern to be described later) that makes the player aware of how many rounds (15 rounds) of jackpot games are executed is a few rounds (3 rounds, 6 rounds) To perform with a higher probability than the low expectation effect (display effect of C pattern described later) which can make the player aware that there is a risk that the jackpot game of) is executed To have. As a result, while the game progresses under the "reliable type jackpot form", the player is aiming to launch the game ball aiming at the "shocking type jackpot form" which the player himself has a risk and is at risk. In the case where the game proceeds under the "big hit form of pounding type" as the player aims, the player is conscious of the fact that the player aimed for the right route by raising the player's awareness While being attached, you can get the expectation for the jackpot game of many rounds. Furthermore, it is possible to maximize the fun of realizing different game characteristics when the gaming ball is guided to the right route and to the left route, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest. In addition, it is possible to urge the player to aim at "the jackpot type of pounding type" also in the subsequent game, and it is possible to suitably reduce the inconvenience such as having to be aware of the firing timing of the game ball. The realization of different game characteristics is promoted according to the induction destination of the game ball. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as can be seen also in FIG. 204 (b), in the case of the b pattern, the number of prize balls obtained is the smallest, rather than the probability determined to be the jackpot game of multiple rounds The probability of being determined to be the minimum number of rounds (3 rounds) of jackpot game is higher than the probability of being determined to be the minimum number of rounds (3 rounds) of jackpot game comprehensively through step S6078 and step S6080 , The probability of being determined to jackpot game of multiple rounds (15 rounds) is higher. As a result, it is possible to further encourage the player to aim for the “biggest form of pounding type”. Moreover, since the probability determined to be a large number of rounds (15 rounds) of jackpots is determined with the highest probability among all the jackpot games (3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds of jackpots), "The pounding type It is possible to strongly urge the player to aim for a "big hit form". As a result, while reducing the annoyance of the player, it is possible to draw out the fun of the gaming machine in which the jackpot game to be executed is determined by using the gaming ball launched by the player.

  In this example, when the jackpot flag of the specific type is ON, as can be understood by referring to the table in FIG. 202, the lottery probability is set to 0 for jackpot games of three rounds, six rounds and twelve rounds. The jackpot game of 15 rounds is randomly drawn with 100% probability, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, when the jackpot flag of a specific type is ON, a specific jackpot game (in this example) The jackpot game of 15 rounds may be determined.

  Also, when the jackpot of the normal type is won, in the jackpot form when the game ball passes the right gate 2575R, as can be seen by referring to the table in FIG. 203, the jackpots of 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds For the game, the lottery probability is set to 0, and 9 rounds of jackpot games are drawn with 100% probability, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the jackpot flag of a specific type is not ON and the right gate 2575R When the game ball passes, it may be determined to be a jackpot game (in this example, 9 rounds of jackpot games) in which an average profit calculated based on a prescribed probability is paid out as a prize ball without lottery .

  In addition, during the period when detection of the game ball with such route detection sensor 2580L or route detection sensor 2580R is validated, route detection sensor 2580L or route detection sensor by the game ball passing either gate 2575L and 2575R It is continued until 2580R detects a game ball. Therefore, the player can prolong the timing at which the game ball should be fired toward the game area 1100 (the receiving unit 2550) in relation to the periodic operation by the movable valve 2551. However, when at least one game ball is hit toward the receiving unit 2550, the game ball passes either of the gates 2575L and 2575R, and the "reliable type jackpot" and "the pounding type jackpot" The processing according to the game progress according to either is performed, and the jackpot game according to the result of the process will be started by extension.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, when the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is a jackpot, the function to be performed by the gates 2575L and 2575R according to the type of the jackpot It is different.

  More specifically, when the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is the jackpot, the specific type only if the jackpot symbol random number acquired of the jackpot symbol random numbers 0 to 9 is 7 It is judged that it is a big hit normally when it is judged that it is a big hit and the big hit symbol random numbers other than 7 among 0-9 are acquired. Thus, when the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is a big hit, it is judged with high probability that it is a regular type big hit, so the gates 2575L, 2575R (more specifically, the route detection sensor 2580L, 2580R) and the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 (more specifically, the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665) always functions as a member for determining the execution mode of the jackpot game. That is, step S 6074 and step S 6080 executed by the main control MPU 4100 a are respectively the right gate 2575 R (route detection sensor 2580 R) and the left gate 2575 L (route detection sensor 2580 L), and the big hit mode determination gate 3660 3665) will always serve as a functionalizing means that functions as a member that determines the execution mode of the jackpot game.

  However, when the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is the specific type jackpot, when the gaming ball passes the gates 2575L and 2575R, the execution mode of the jackpot game is referred to the table of FIG. Although the lottery to be determined is performed, this lottery is only a formal lottery in which the execution mode of the jackpot is predetermined. In other words, since 15 predetermined rounds of jackpot games are executed based on the fact that the game ball passes the gates 2575L and 2575R, the gates 2575L and 2575R (more specifically, route detection) The sensors 2580L and 2580R) function as an execution trigger for the jackpot game. That is, since it is always determined NO in steps S6072 and S6076, the gates 2575L and 2575R (more specifically, the route detection sensors 2580L and 2580R) always perform the big hit game execution mode in steps S6074 and S6080. Although it functions as a member to be determined, YES is determined in steps S6072 and S6076 only when the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is a specific type jackpot, gate 2575L, 2575R (more detailed The route detection sensor 2580L (2580R) functions as a member that determines the execution mode of the jackpot game. Therefore, right gate 2575R (route detection sensor 2580R) and left gate 2575L (route detection sensor 2580L) which function as a member which always determines the execution mode of the big hit game are executed by the main control MPU 4100a, respectively. ) As a function changing means for changing the function so as to function as a member to determine the execution mode of the jackpot game only when the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery is a specific type jackpot Will play a role.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball rolls to either the route detection sensor 2580L side route or the route detection sensor 2580R side route by the receiving unit 2550, the rolling route is grasped As can be done, at least until the end of the jackpot game, the ball route indication member 2590 on the side where the gaming balls roll is turned on.

  Further, as described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the jackpot of the “reliable type jackpot form” or the “jacket type jackpot form” is generated by the game balls driven into the game area 1100 by the player. The processing according to the game progress according to the form is executed, and the jackpot game according to the result of the processing is started.

[Display Effects Displayed on Mini LCD]
When the game according to the "big hit type of pounding type" is started, high expectation effect as an uplifting effect for raising the player is executed using the back lower right rendering unit 3600. In the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, when the player continues to shoot the game ball toward the game area 1100, the case of being determined as the "reliable type big hit form" and "the pounding type of pounding type" The ratio to the case determined in is approximately 18 to 2. Therefore, when the condition device is activated by winning the jackpot lottery, although it may be determined to be either the "relief type jackpot form" or "the pounding type jackpot form", it is always "relief type" The jackpot form of As described above, when most of the condition devices are activated and determined to be "relief type jackpot form", as a result of the player aiming the timing and firing the game ball, "jacket type jackpot type Even if "" is decided, it will be awakened when the display effect is performed as if it is decided to be a jackpot of a few rounds (3 rounds, 6 rounds), and there is a possibility that the interest will fall. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, even if the condition device is activated, the "big hit form of the pounding type" which is determined relatively less in most of the "reliable type big hit forms" is determined. If the expected value of the amount of prize balls to be paid out is determined to be "the jackpot form of relief type" in the mini-liquid crystal display 3670, the mini-liquid crystal display 3670 is determined. As the effect mode displayed on the screen, the display effect of the A pattern for recalling the jackpot game of many rounds is displayed with high probability than the display effect of the C pattern for recalling the jackpot game of the small number of rounds. As a result that the player aimed at "the jackpot type of pounding type" even though the expectation value of the amount of prize balls paid out by "the jackpot type of relief type" and "the jackpot type of pounding type" is the same. If it is determined, the player who sees the presentation mode displayed on the mini-liquid crystal display 3670 may be able to carry out more rounds of jackpot games than the possibility that a few rounds of jackpot games will be carried out. It becomes possible to make the player aware as if the sex is much higher. As a result, when the condition device is activated, it is always determined to be "reliable type jackpot form" and 9 rounds of jackpot games are executed, and "jacket type of pounding type" is decided as a result aimed by the player When done, even though the expected value of the amount of prize balls to be paid out in the jackpot game is the same as when determined to the “relief type jackpot form”, it seems like how many rounds of jackpot games will be executed By performing a high expectation effect capable of making the player aware of an impression, it is possible to suppress a drop in interest.

  As described above, when the passage detection of the game ball to the left gate 2575L is detected by the route detection sensor 2580 (YES in step S6075) and it is a big hit of the normal type (NO in step S6076) , And is determined as one of the lottery patterns among the a pattern, the b pattern and the c pattern (step S6078). This information is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 as a command from the main control board 4100. Then, the peripheral control unit 4140 receives a command indicating whether any of the a pattern, b pattern and c pattern is determined to be the lottery pattern (more specifically, the display effect displayed on the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670 The mini liquid crystal display control device) controls the display effect displayed on the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670 based on the command.

  The display effect pattern displayed in the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670 refers to the table E and is based on the lottery pattern of any of the a pattern, b pattern and c pattern determined in step S6078. It is determined that one of the display effect patterns among the A pattern, the B pattern, and the C pattern is displayed (see FIG. 206). Here, FIG. 206 is a table for determining the display effect pattern displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 based on the lottery pattern determined in step S6078 which is the processing of the main control MPU 4100a. The determination of the display effect pattern displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 may be performed by the main control MPU 4100a, but from the viewpoint of reducing the load on the main control substrate 4100, it is performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a Is preferred. Then, the main body (main control MPU 4100a or peripheral control MPU 4140a) that determines the display effect pattern displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 functions as an uplifting effect means and an uplifting and blissful effect means.

  As shown in FIG. 207, the A pattern, the B pattern, and the C pattern are all display effect patterns in which a large dragon 5000 and a small dragon 5100 are displayed as characters. A pattern is that the majority of all dragons are 5100, and the large dragon is only 12.5% of the total (2 of the 16 dragons are two large dragons), and there are a few rounds (6 rounds, 6 rounds) This is a display effect pattern with the highest expectation determined for the jackpot of multiple rounds (15 rounds) than the jackpot of rounds). The B pattern is a display effect pattern in which the ratio of the large dragon 5000 to the small dragon 5100 is 1: 1, and next to the A pattern, it is a display effect pattern with high expectation determined to be a larger number of rounds than a small number of rounds. The C pattern is a display effect pattern in which a small dragon 5100 is displayed at a ratio of approximately two large dragons 5000 to one, and a display effect pattern having the lowest expectation determined to be a large number of round jackpots than a small number of round jackpots It is.

  As shown in the table of FIG. 206, when the lottery pattern determined in step S6078, which is the processing of the main control MPU 4100, is a pattern, the pattern A is determined with a probability of 30%, and B with a probability of 60%. The pattern is determined, and the C pattern is determined with a probability of 10%. When the lottery pattern determined in step S6078 is the b pattern, the pattern A is determined with a probability of 40%, the pattern B is determined with a probability of 50%, and the pattern C is determined with a probability of 10%. Ru. When the lottery pattern determined in step S6078 is c pattern, it is determined to be A pattern with a probability of 70% and is determined to be B pattern with a probability of 30% and is not determined to be C pattern .

  In this manner, when the display effect pattern of any of the A pattern, the B pattern, and the C pattern is determined, the determined display effect pattern is displayed in the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670. FIG. 208 is an example showing an aspect of a display effect displayed on the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670 when it is determined to be the A pattern. As shown in FIG. 208, at the center of the mini liquid crystal display 3670, there is a frame display area 3670a surrounded by a frame, and toward the frame display area 3670a (see the arrow in FIG. 208) The dragon 5100 is scrolled in turn one by one.

  However, the large dragon 5000 and the small dragon 5100 are not scrolled at a constant speed, and if the small dragon 5100, they will be displayed back quickly even if they are about to be displayed in the frame display area 3670a because of lightness Passage display of the frame display area 3670a or the like is performed. Also, if it is a large dragon 5000, it will attack toward the small dragon 5100 displayed in the frame display area 3670a because it is strong.

  As described above, whether the jackpot game to be executed is the jackpot of the 3 round, 6 round and 15 round jackpot games, the passage of the game ball to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 is the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor It is determined based on the detection by 3665 (all refer to FIG. 181 to FIG. 185) (see step S 6080). Here, information about which of the jackpot games of the 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds of the determined jackpot game modes is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 as a command from the main control board 4100 Ru.

  In the case where the jackpot game mode determined based on the detection of the passage of the game ball to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 is a jackpot game of a few rounds (3 rounds, 6 rounds) The character (Oryu 5000 or Oryu 5100) displayed in the frame display area 3670a at the moment the game ball passes through the big hit mode determination gate 3660 is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the determined jackpot game mode is a large number of rounds (15 rounds) of jackpot game, the character displayed in the frame display area 3670a at the moment when the gaming ball passes the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 In addition, the small dragon 5100 is controlled to be displayed. That is, based on the determined mode of the jackpot game, display control is performed for the character stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a. However, as described above, the large dragon 5000 and the small dragon 5100 are not scroll-displayed at a constant speed, and if the small dragon 5100 is displayed in the back, it is displayed quickly through the frame display area 3670a, or the large dragon 5000 For example, since a display effect such as attacking toward the small dragon 5100 displayed in the frame display area 3670 a is performed, the character displayed in the frame display area 3670 a is either of the great dragon 5000 or the small dragon 5100 However, giving an unnaturalness to the player is reduced.

  Then, when the large dragon 5000 or the small dragon 5100 is stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a, although not shown, the character holding the rifle appears and the character displayed to be stopped in the frame display area 3670a (the large dragon 5000 or the small dragon 5100 ) And a character holding a rifle are displayed. Here, in the case of the Great Dragon 5000, the degree of expectation for the character with the rifle to win is low, and in the case of the small dragon 5100, the character with the rifle wins with a higher probability than in the case of the Great Dragon 5000. Then, when the character holding the rifle wins over the character (Oryu 5000 or Koryu 5100) stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a, the jackpot game of multiple rounds (15 rounds) is decided, and the stop display is displayed in the frame display area 3670a When the character (Oryu 5000 or Koryu 5100) loses the game, one of the big win games of the small round (3 rounds, 6 rounds) is played. Therefore, when the character stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a is Oryu 5000, the player is reminded that the possibility that the big hit game of the small number of rounds is determined is higher than the big hit game of the large number of rounds. When the character stopped and displayed in the display area 3670a is the small dragon 5100, the player is reminded that it is more likely that the jackpot game of many rounds is determined than the jackpot game of the small number of rounds. It should be noted that even if the character holding the rifle loses the character (Oryu 5000 or Koryu 5100) stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a, it will be reversed afterwards and the jackpot game of multiple rounds will be executed. A confirmation display may be performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the character holding the rifle wins over the character (Oryu 5000 or Koryu 5100) stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a, among the big hit games of multiple rounds (12 rounds, 15 rounds), Any jackpot game is decided, but instead, it is awarded when the character with the rifle wins over the character (Oryu 5000 or Oryu 5100) stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a. The jackpot game of 15 rounds with the largest amount of winning balls may be decided.

  Thus, between the passage of the gaming ball to the left gate 2575L being detected by the route detection sensor 2580L and the passage of the gaming ball to the big hit aspect determination gate 3660 being detected by the big hit aspect determination gate detection sensor 3665 The mini liquid crystal display 3670 scrolls and displays any of the display effect patterns among the A pattern, the B pattern, and the C pattern. Then, based on the passage of the gaming ball to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 being detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, the large dragon 5000 or the small dragon 5100 is stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a. After that, the character stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a (Oryu 5000 or Koryu 5100) and the character with the rifle play a game, and the passage of the game ball to the big hit mode determination gate 3660 is the big hit mode determination gate detection A display effect indicating a mode of the jackpot game determined based on the detection by the sensor 3665 is performed.

  By the way, when the game ball passes the right gate 2575R, it is determined to be a 9 round jackpot game based on the passage detection of the game ball to the right gate 2575R being detected by the route detection sensor 2580R. On the other hand, when the gaming ball passes the left gate 2575L, three rounds of jackpot games, based on the passage of the gaming ball to the jackpot determination gate 3660 being detected by the jackpot determination gate detection sensor 3665, 6 It is determined to be a round jackpot game or a 15 round jackpot game. Here, as described above, the gaming ball having passed through the left gate 2575L passes through the depth direction passage 3621, the height direction passage 3622 and the stage 3640, and after the game ball rolls around the hole 3632 of the clune 3630 When the game ball passes through the left gate 2575L, it is configured to pass through the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 and to be detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 when falling from the hole 3632 according to Compared to when the ball passes the right gate 2575R, the time until the mode of the jackpot game is determined is delayed. That is, the depth direction passage 3621, the height direction passage 3622, the stage 3640, and the clune 3630 function as delay means. Thus, when the game ball passes the left gate 2575L, the time until the mode of the jackpot game is determined is delayed compared to when the game ball passes the right gate 2575R. It is possible to execute, in the display area of the mini liquid crystal display 3670, a display effect that can give the player a sense of expectation that a large number of rounds (15 rounds) of jackpots will be executed.

  As described above, in the mini liquid crystal display 3670, since the display effect described above is performed, among the A pattern, B pattern, and C pattern, the A pattern in which the proportion occupied by the small dragon 5100 with respect to the whole is relatively small When displayed on the display 3670, the player is given the impression that it is more likely to be determined to be a large number of rounds (15 rounds) than a small number of rounds (3 rounds, 6 rounds) of jackpots. It becomes possible. However, in the mini LCD display 3670, in principle, a small dragon that evokes a large number of rounds of jackpots rather than the probability that a large number of rounds of jackpots will actually be determined (see the table in FIG. 204 (b)). The display effect is performed such that the probability that the display 5100 is stopped and displayed in the frame display area 3670a is high (see FIGS. 204 and 206). As a result, when the condition device is activated by winning the jackpot lottery and most of them are determined to be the jackpot form of the relief type, the jackpot form of the pounding type is determined as a result aimed by the player. In this case, it is possible to make the player aware that the jackpot game of many rounds (15 rounds) is more likely to be executed than the jackpot game of the small number of rounds, and thus it is possible to give the player an uplifting feeling. . As a result, when the condition device is activated by winning the jackpot lottery and most of them are determined to be the "relief type jackpot form", the player is determined to be the "jacket type of the pounding type". Even though the game is played, it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest caused by the display effect as if determined to be a jackpot game of a small number of rounds.

  In addition, as shown in the table in FIG. 206, the probability of being determined as a C pattern having a greater number of 5000 major dragons than a small dragon 5100 is extremely low, and a majority of A or B patterns are displayed. Become. The C pattern is a b pattern (see the table in FIG. 204 (b)) which has a high probability of determining a jackpot game of a few rounds (3 rounds, 6 rounds) than a jackpot game of a large number of rounds (15 rounds) Even, it is made to be decided only with the probability of 10%. Therefore, in the mini-liquid crystal display 3670, even if it is determined that the b pattern is more likely to determine the jackpot game of the smaller round (3 rounds, 6 rounds) than the jackpot game of the large number of rounds (15 rounds), the minority round It is possible to make the player aware that jackpot game of many rounds (15 rounds) is more likely to be determined than jackpot game of (3 rounds, 6 rounds), and when it is decided to be "jackpot form of pounding type". It is possible to give the player a sense of excitement.

  By the way, even if any of the display effect patterns among the A pattern, the B pattern and the C pattern is determined based on the passage detection of the game ball to the left gate 2575L by the route detection sensor 2580L, the minority round ( As to which of the three rounds, six rounds) of jackpot game and the multiple rounds (15 rounds) is executed, the passage of the game ball to the jackpot mode determination gate 3660 is the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665 It is determined based on what is detected by Therefore, the player looks at the display effect pattern displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670, and which lottery pattern of the a pattern, b pattern and c pattern is determined (that is, the jackpot game of multiple rounds is determined It is possible to find interesting things to guess. In addition, even if the player guesses that there is a b pattern that is unlikely to determine a large number of jackpot games in multiple rounds, there is a possibility that a large number of jackpot games in multiple rounds will be determined. The degree of discouragement given to

  In addition, when passage of the game ball to the left gate 2575L is detected by the route detection sensor 2580L, only the display effect pattern displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 is determined, and the jackpot determination gate 3660 Only when the passage of the game ball is detected by the jackpot determination gate detection sensor 3665, which of the small round (3 rounds, 6 rounds) of jackpot game and the large number of rounds (15 rounds) of jackpot games are executed is It will be decided. Therefore, even if the display effect with the C pattern is performed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670, it is not determined to be the jackpot game of a few rounds at this time, and the possibility of being determined to be a jackpot game of many rounds remains. It will be. Similarly, even if the display effect in the A pattern is performed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670, it is not determined to be a large round jackpot game at this time, and the possibility to be determined to be a small round jackpot game is left It is done.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the condition device is activated by winning the jackpot lottery, most of them are determined to be "reliable type jackpot form", "the pounding type of pounding type" is determined In this case, it is determined to be a nine-round jackpot game in which the provision of a fixed amount of award balls is secured, but as described above, it is determined by the player's intention to be "jackpot type of pounding type". There is a possibility. In this way, when the condition device is activated by winning the jackpot lottery, the provision of a certain amount of prize balls is secured originally, but it is decided to be "jackpot type of pounding type" by daringly taking risks Mini LCD panel 3670 is determined to be a large number of rounds (15 rounds), even though it may be determined to be a small number of rounds (three rounds, six rounds) of jackpots It is made to perform display effect which gives a feeling of expectation by reminding the player of things. This makes it possible to be aware of the player as if it is determined to be a large number of jackpot games, although it may be determined to be a small number of jackpot games in a few rounds, and thus, "A pounding form of pounding type It is possible to suppress the display effect such as rising even though it is determined to be.

  Also, even if it is determined in step S6078 that the b pattern (lottery pattern in which the big win game of the few rounds is more likely to be determined than the big win game of the large rounds), as shown in FIG. It is highly likely that an A pattern or a B pattern that can make a player conscious and have a sense of expectation as if there is a high possibility or possibility of being displayed as a display effect pattern. On the other hand, despite being determined to be the b pattern, it is determined to be the C pattern that can make the player aware as if it is more likely to be determined to be a jackpot game with fewer rounds than multiple rounds. The probability is only as low as 10%. Thus, when it is decided that "the jackpot type of pounding type", even if it is decided to be the b pattern, it is the display effect which reminds the player that it is decided to be the jackpot game of many rounds rather than a few rounds. I want to do it.

  Also, when the b pattern is determined in step S6078, as shown in FIG. 204 (b), although the jackpot game of the small round (3 rounds, 6 rounds) is more easily determined than the jackpot game of 15 rounds. In addition, as shown in FIG. 206, to make the player aware that it is likely to be determined to be a large number of rounds (15 rounds) than a small number of rounds of jackpots with a probability of 40%. Is determined to be possible A pattern.

  In addition, when specific conditions, such as being decided to c pattern (lottery pattern in which a big hit game of many rounds is more likely to be decided than a big hit game of a few rounds), are satisfied in step S6078, a large number of rounds A mini-liquid crystal display 3670 may be configured to display uplifting and blissful effects that can give a sense of expectation for a jackpot game. This uplifting bliss effect corresponds to, for example, a premier pattern (not shown) or the like which is displayed only when the lottery pattern is determined to be the c pattern. The premier pattern is, for example, a display effect pattern in which only one large dragon 5000 is displayed for 15 small dragons 5100. In addition, although this premiere pattern is a confirmed effect pattern that the c pattern is determined, it is not a confirmed effect pattern in which a jackpot game of multiple rounds is determined. When the Premier pattern is displayed on the mini LCD display 3670, it is not yet determined whether the jackpot game of the small round will be executed or the jackpot game of the large number of rounds will be executed. .

  Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 206, even if it is determined to any pattern among a pattern to c pattern, it is highly likely to be determined to be a large number of jackpot games of many rounds (15 rounds) "The jackpot form of pounding type" by making the probability that the A pattern or B pattern that can make the player aware as if it is or is determined higher than the probability that the C pattern is determined It is intended to curb the decline in interest when it is decided on. However, when it is determined to be the A pattern or the B pattern whenever it is determined to be "the jackpot type of pounding type", the expectation that can be given to the player becomes overheated, which may result in a gambling feeling. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 206, the C pattern is determined with a relatively low probability of 10% when it is determined to be the a pattern or the b pattern, as shown in FIG. It is like that. According to FIG. 206, when the pattern c is determined, the probability determined to the pattern C is zero, but for example, the probability is the same as or lower than that determined to the pattern a or b The C pattern may be determined by (0 to 10% (not including 0)). Also in this case, it is possible to suppress that the sense of expectation which can be given to the player becomes overheated.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is still determined which of the three rounds, the six rounds, and the fifteen rounds of jackpot games is to be executed when it is determined to be "jacket type of pounding type". By visually recognizing the display effect displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 from a stage where the player is not being used, the player can estimate the degree of expectation that the jackpot game of multiple rounds (15 rounds) will be performed. In other words, the mini LCD display 3670 has a display effect of a lottery process that determines which of the small round (3 rounds, 6 rounds) of the big hit game and the large round of the big hit game. It can be said that it is displayed in a visible manner. The display effect displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 is recalled to the player that the jackpot game of the multiple rounds is determined with a probability higher than the actual probability that the jackpot game of the multiple rounds is determined. By performing the display effect to make it possible, it becomes possible to perform the display effect to give the player expectation.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the front end of the third stage 2513 in the stage 2510 of the center combination 2500 where the gaming balls roll is in front of the front surface of the gaming panel 1200 (panel board 1210) Compared with a conventional pachinko machine which extends to substantially the same position as the front end of the front component 1110A and has the front end substantially at the same position as the front of the game panel 1200, the depth in the front-back direction of the stage 2510 is increased. Therefore, the game ball can be rolled in various states by the wide stage 2510, and the movement of the game ball is prevented from being monotonous by causing the game ball to perform various movements on the stage 2510. It can make it hard to get bored and can entertain the player with the movement of the game ball rolling on the stage 2510, Interest in the player skills who can be suppressed.

  In addition, the front end of the third stage 2513 in the stage 2510 on which the game ball can roll is extended forward of the front surface of the game panel 1200 to substantially the same position as the front end of the front component 1110A partitioning the outer periphery of the game area 1100 Since the front end of the third stage 2513 is almost at the same position as the front end of the game area 1100, the game ball rolls around the front end of the third stage 2513, which is a stage in a conventional pachinko machine The game ball can be rolled at a position as close as possible to the player side than the game ball rolling on the top, and it is easy to see the game ball rolling on the stage 2510 and the movement of the game ball is made more It can be entertaining.

  Furthermore, the rear end of the first stage 2511 in the stage 2510 is positioned behind the rear surface of the gaming panel 1200, and on the stage 2510, the gaming ball is positioned forward of the front surface of the gaming panel 1200. Since it is possible to roll between a position behind the rear surface of the panel 1200 and the depth in the front-rear direction of the stage 2510 as wide as possible, the wide stage 2510 allows various gaming balls to be made. The game balls can be rolled in various states, and by making the game balls move in various ways on the stage 2510, it is possible to prevent the movement of the game balls from becoming monotonous and make it difficult to get bored, and A pachinko machine 1 capable of enjoying the movement of the game ball rolling on 2510 and capable of suppressing the decrease in interest for the game It is possible to truly embody.

  Further, since the center character 2500 is provided with the peripheral wall 2503 projecting forward, a stage 2510, which is arranged in a frame by forming a border by the peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500, and each effect unit 3200, 3400, A pachinko machine 1 can be provided which can stand up the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like and can strongly attract the player's attention.

  In addition, when the game ball enters the first chance entrance 2516 and the second chance entrance 2517 opened on the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512 in the stage 2510, the chance exit 2518 opens immediately above the first starting opening 2101. The game balls are released, and the game balls can be received by the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 with high probability, so the game balls rolling on the stage 2510 are the first chance entrance 2516 Alternatively, the player can be excited and excited by entering the second chance entrance 2517 or not, and the player can enjoy the movement of the game ball rolling on the stage 2510 to reduce the interest in the game. It can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player is driven into the game area 1100 so as to aim at the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 of the attacker unit 2100 disposed below the center character 2500. Even if the game ball comes in contact with the obstacle nail at the lower side of the center character 2500 and bounces upward, the game ball bounced by the third stage 2513 bounces downward and enters the window 2501 of the center character 2500. This prevents the game ball from intruding into the liquid crystal display device 1900 and causing a problem, and can prevent the game from being interrupted due to the occurrence of the problem. In addition, the third stage 2513 for preventing entry of gaming balls is located from the position between the second stage 2512 and the fourth stage 2514 formed on the lower side of the center character 2500 rather than the front face of the gaming panel 1200 (panel board 1210). Since it is made to extend forward, the third stage 2513 can be made relatively inconspicuous relatively by moving away from the inner circumference of the center character 2500, and the third stage extended forward. Since it is possible to avoid inhibiting the decoration of other decorations etc. by 2513 and the positional relationship between the third stage 2513 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 in the vertical direction is longer than that of the conventional pachinko machine, the liquid crystal display The light emitted from the device 1900 and reflected by the upper surface of the third stage 2513 can be made difficult to reach the player's eyes Thereby avoiding the appearance of a pachinko machine 1 is deteriorated by preventing the visible glowing top surface of the third stage 2513.

  In addition, the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512 are disposed above the third stage 2513 which prevents the game ball from entering and abuts against the obstacle nail implanted under the center character 2500. The game ball does not pass through the warp entrance 2504 (the regular route) because it can be avoided that the game ball bouncing upward gets on the first stage 2511 and the second stage 2512 and the third stage 2513 It is possible to prevent the player from being distrusted by preventing the game ball from being supplied onto the stage 2510 without passing through the regular route. The game with the pachinko machine 1 can be continued.

It can be removably attached to the In addition, the locking claw 3250c of the second lifting and lowering decorative body 3250 is elastically locked to the locking hole 3248c of the second slide base 3248 so that the fixing piece 3248a of the second slide base 3248 is the second lifting and lowering decoration The second slide base 3248 and the second lifting and lowering decorative body 3250 can be easily detached from each other by the elastic deformation of the locking claw 3250 c. Therefore, even if a problem occurs in the second liquid crystal display device 3252 of the second lifting and lowering decorative body 3250, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be easily removed, so maintenance such as replacement of the second liquid crystal display device 3252 It is possible to easily carry out the maintenance and the time during which the game is interrupted by maintenance can be shortened as much as possible, and the interruption is resumed before the player feels frustrated by the interruption, and the player's interest in the game is entertained. While being able to suppress the decrease, various effects using the effect image by the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be performed without problems, and the movement of the second raising and lowering decorative body 3250 (second liquid crystal display device 3252) By entertaining the player with the effect image or the effect image, it is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 capable of suppressing the decrease in the player's interest.

  In addition, since the second lifting and lowering decorative body 3250 is detachably attached to the second slide base 3248, the assembly operation of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified, and the cost for manufacturing the pachinko machine 1 increases. The second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be easily removed when the pachinko machine 1 is discarded, so waste separation work can be performed easily, and the environmentally friendly pachinko machine 1 can be reduced. It can be done.

  In addition, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be moved to the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the second liquid crystal display device can be from the second slide base 3248 positioned outside the liquid crystal display device 1900 in front view Since the 3252 is attached so as to extend to the front side of the liquid crystal display device 1900, moving the second slide base 3248 makes it easy to vibrate the second liquid crystal display device 3252 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 There is a possibility that a problem may easily occur, but as described above, since the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is detachably attached to the moving base, even if a problem occurs in the second liquid crystal display device 3252 Therefore, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be maintained in a good state. Therefore, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be moved to the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 without any problem, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game.

  Furthermore, since the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is a display device separate from the liquid crystal display device 1900, the effect image can be displayed even if the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is moved to the outside of the liquid crystal display device 1900, The effect pattern by the moving second liquid crystal display device 3252 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be made more colorful, and it is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 hard to get tired, and there is no need to have a large liquid crystal display device 1900. , It can suppress that the cost concerning pachinko machine 1 increases.

  In addition, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is separately moved to the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the positions of the effect image of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the effect image of the second liquid crystal display device 3252 differ in the front-rear direction. Therefore, it is possible to perform effects with a depth by two effect images, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest by alarming the player, and attract the interest of the player to display each effect image Also, it is possible to enjoy the movement of the image display means, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  In addition, since the second liquid crystal display device 3252 (second raising and lowering decorative body 3250) is disposed on the rear side of the game panel 1200 (panel board 1210) partitioning the rear end of the game area 1100, the second liquid crystal display device 3252 Can prevent the flow of gaming balls circulating in the game area 1100 from being blocked, and the pachinko machine 1 can enjoy the movement of the gaming balls, and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 can be used as the gaming panel 1200 ( As it is made visible through the opening 1215 of the panel plate 1210), if a problem occurs in the second liquid crystal display device 3252, it can be removed from the second slide base 3248 through the opening 1215 of the gaming panel 1200, The time and effort required for the maintenance of the two liquid crystal display device 3252 can be facilitated to achieve the same function and effect as described above. Rukoto can.

  Furthermore, since the first elevation decoration 3218 is provided which can cover a part of the front face of the second elevation decoration 3250 and is movable independently of the second elevation decoration 3250, the first elevation By appropriately moving the decorative body 3218, it is possible to change the range in which the effect image of the second liquid crystal display 3252 can be seen from the player side, and it is possible to entertain the player with more various effects. To make it difficult to get rid of the interest in the game.

  In addition, since the first raising and lowering decorative body 3218 moving on the front side of the second liquid crystal display device 3252 is provided with a predetermined decoration, the player is made the first raising and lowering decorative body 3218 by the decoration of the first raising and lowering decorative body 3218 The second liquid crystal display device 3252 (second raising and lowering decorative body 3250) also enters the field of view by the player paying attention to the first raising and lowering decorative body 3218, and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 displays it. It is possible to make sure that the effect image is displayed, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a game ball hit into the game area 1100 is accepted to the first starting opening 2101 or the second starting opening 2102, a predetermined lottery result is drawn, and The large winning opening 2103 can be accepted according to the drawing result of the drawing, and a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out by causing the large winning opening 2103 to receive the gaming ball. It is possible to enjoy the operation of hitting the game ball aiming at 2101, the second start opening 2102, and the big winning opening 2103 and the payout of the game ball. In this pachinko machine 1, when the game ball is hit, the hit game ball is hit so as to circulate along the inner circumference of the game area 1100, that is, the game ball is hit with a predetermined strength or more. When it is filled in (so-called right-handed), the game ball thrown into the upper part of the game area 1100 along the inner circumference of the game area 1100 from the left distributes along the inner circumference to the opposite right side Since the game ball enters into the receiving space 2530 through the passage 2545, the gaming ball can be driven into the receiving space 2530 with a simple hitting operation, and the gaming ball which has entered the receiving space 2530 Since the game is discharged from the inside of the receiving space 2530 through the guiding passage 2540 to the upper side of the big winning opening 2103, the gaming ball released from the guiding passage 2540 through the receiving space 2530 is accepted when the big winning opening 2103 is acceptable. It is possible to make acceptance to the winning opening 2103 with a high probability. As a result, when the special winning opening 2103 becomes acceptable, it is possible to make a hitting operation aiming at the receiving space 2530 such that the gaming ball is released from the guide passage 2540. A movable valve 2551 is disposed in the receiving space 2530. When the gaming ball rolls in either direction left or right by the movable valve 2551 and is detected by the route detection sensor 2580, the movable valve 2551 rolls. The jackpot form according to the direction is given.

  Furthermore, since the movable lower decorative body 2567 and the movable upper decorative body 2565 are disposed behind the receiving space 2530, the movable lower decorative body 2567 and the movable upper decorative body 2565 press the inside of the game area 1100 including the receiving space 2530. It is possible to prevent the game area from becoming narrow by avoiding the game, and it becomes possible to distribute the game ball within a wide range as much as possible, and the motion of the pachinko machine 1 inherent game ball is enjoyed The movable lower decorative body 2567 and the movable upper decorative body 2565 can be enlarged or the movable range can be enlarged without compressing the inside of the game area 1100, and the movable lower decorative body 2567 and the movable upper The decorative body 2565 can be made to stand out, and the player can surely recognize the rolling direction of the gaming ball by the movable valve 2551. .

  Further, the slide of the slider 2555, which slides back and forth by the receiving drive motor 2558, is transmitted to the movable valve 2551 via the connection spring 2556 and the like, and the movable lower decorative body 2567 and the movable via the rack gear 2555f and the first transmission gear 2562 and the like. Since the power is transmitted to the upper decorative body 2565, the movable valve 2551, the movable lower decorative body 2567 and the movable upper decorative body 2565 can be driven by one receiving drive motor 2558, and the configuration relating to each drive is simplified. And the overall space for driving can be reduced. That is, the space for the movable lower decoration 2567, the movable upper decoration 2565, etc. can be relatively enlarged by reducing the space for driving the movable valve 2551, the lower movable decoration 2567 and the movable upper decoration 2565. It becomes.

  Further, when the game ball is hit with a predetermined strength or more, the game ball hit at the top of the game area 1100 along the inner circumference of the game area 1100 from the left side is left along the inner circumference as it is on the opposite right side Thus, the game ball can be driven into (into) the receiving space 2530 with a simple hitting operation.

  Furthermore, the periodic operation by the movable valve 2551 is performed at a constant cycle regardless of the gaming state. Therefore, the probability that a desired route in the receiving space 2530 has a high probability can be achieved by striking the gaming ball into the receiving unit 2550 which is always open using a period in which the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580 is not activated. In order to roll the gaming ball in the game ball, the gaming ball is taken into consideration at any timing in consideration of the operation with periodicity by the movable valve 2551 and the range of time lag occurring before reaching the movable valve 2551. It is designed to be able to appropriately seek out (practice) as to whether it should be launched. According to such a configuration, the consumption of a predetermined amount of gaming balls which can not be accepted by the starting opening is also promoted, and no value can be generated and no gaming conditions can be advanced. Even though the game is played under the game, the playability of the player can be maintained by the playability with a focus on future profits only.

  However, in the game (practice) under such game conditions, a search is made as to whether the game ball can be rolled to the desired route in the receiving space 2530 without any sense of tension Since it is only the case, it is also assumed that the firing timing of the gaming ball will fail due to the tension feeling in the production (period in which the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580 is not activated). Therefore, when a big hit is not won as a lottery result of the big hit, a small hit may be won with a predetermined probability. That is, in this case, although the condition device does not operate, it is a period during which the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580 is not activated, while the production (a period when the detection of the gaming ball by the route detection sensor 2580 is not activated) Since the rendition of the rendition (representation where it can not be recognized whether it is a production or not) is performed, it becomes possible to practice under a good sense of tension.

  In addition, the game ball is prevented from entering the receiving space 2530 while the movable valve 2551 is rotating, and the game ball that has attempted to enter the receiving space 2530 during the rotation is Since it can be stopped at the entrance (upper side of the movable valve 2551), by hitting the gaming ball so as to reach the rotating movable valve 2551 as a hitting operation of the gaming ball, in front of the movable valve 2551 A plurality of game balls can be parked. Therefore, when the movable valve 2551 performs a turning operation so as to roll the gaming ball in a predetermined direction, the plurality of game balls are hit and the gaming ball is held in front of the movable valve 2551 so that the turning operation is performed. While the game ball stopped can be reliably rolled in a predetermined direction, a plurality of game balls can be rolled in a predetermined direction substantially simultaneously.

  In addition, as described above, since the game ball can be parked on the front side of the movable valve 2551 during rotation, the game ball is parked by striking in more game balls while the game ball is parked. An interval (time interval, distance interval) in which the game ball and the game ball driven thereafter roll can be narrowed as much as possible. That is, since the rolling intervals of the plurality of gaming balls can be shortened by the time when they are stopped by the movable valve 2551 and brought close to each other, the turning operation is completed and the gaming balls are inserted into the receiving space 2530 When it becomes possible to enter, it becomes possible to continuously discharge at least two game balls to the big winning opening 2103 side at intervals shorter than normal, and usually for the time when the big winning opening 2103 can be accepted. More game balls can be received, and it is possible to make the player more entertaining and to suppress the decrease in interest. In addition, as described above, in order to receive more gaming balls into the big winning opening 2103, the timing when the gaming ball is stopped by the movable valve 2551 and the big winning opening 2103 through the receiving space 2530. Since it is necessary to hit the game ball in consideration of the timing at which the game can be accepted, the difficulty level of the hitting operation is surely increased, making it hard for the player who is used to the hitting operation to get bored. At the same time, it is possible to improve the motivation for the typing operation, and it is possible to enjoy the game and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Although the present invention has been described above by way of preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and as described below, various improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. And design changes are possible.

  For example, in the above embodiment, when a jackpot of a specific type is prepared and a jackpot of this specific type is won, step S6073, even if a game is played under any jackpot form, Although 15 rounds of jackpot games are performed through the process of S6077, such a specific type of jackpot may not necessarily be prepared. That is, in this case, in the jackpot game mode determination process (step S607) shown in FIG. 201, each process of steps S6072, S6073, S6076, S6077 and the table shown in FIG. 202 will be omitted, and the right gate 2575R In the jackpot form when the gaming ball passes, the jackpot game mode is determined with reference to the table of FIG. 203 regardless of the value of the jackpot symbol random number. On the other hand, in the jackpot form when the game ball passes the left gate 2575L, regardless of the value of the jackpot symbol random number, the jackpot game mode is determined with reference to the tables of FIGS. 204 (a) and (b) The Rukoto.

  The pachinko machine 1 described in the mode for carrying out the invention can be expressed as the following technical idea. In the following, the term described in the form for carrying out the invention described above is described in a broader sense, and the term “the term made in the generic concept” and the term described in the “form for carrying out the invention” In order to make correspondence with "," the above-mentioned "term described in the form for carrying out the invention" equivalent to "the term in the broader concept" is described in a parenthesis. However, once the above-mentioned "terms described in the form for carrying out the invention" corresponding to the "hyperconcepted terms" are described in parentheses once, they are omitted in the subsequent description in order to avoid duplicate descriptions. Have

This game machine is
A game area where game media are shot by the operation of the player,
A receptacle provided in the gaming area;
Lottery means for making a winning determination based on the reception of gaming media to the receiving port;
Based on the fact that the result of the win determination is a hit, it is always determined to execute a normal jackpot game in which a predetermined amount of prize balls can be awarded using a game medium struck by a player Jackpot mode determining means for controlling and / or operating;
A jackpot game executing means capable of executing a jackpot game in the mode determined by the jackpot mode determining means;
A gaming machine comprising
The jackpot mode determining means is
Although the player controls and / or operates so as to determine that the normal jackpot game is to be executed even if the player aims to hit the game medium so that the normal jackpot game is not executed, the specific condition that occurs as an exception is satisfied Only when a game medium is struck in a form, a per unit game in which a reward ball exceeding the predetermined amount can be awarded, or a small amount per game in which a reward ball less than the predetermined amount is provided as a exception game Have an exception winning game determination means that can be determined by making an internal lottery
further,
Exception winning lottery mode determination to determine based on which lottery mode among a plurality of lottery modes including the low profit lottery mode which is more likely to be determined in the small amount per game rather than the large amount per game Means,
When the result of the win determination is a hit, although it is always determined to execute the normal jackpot game, it is determined that the exception winning game is to be executed as a result of the game medium being thrown in by the player Sometimes, although there is a possibility that the small amount per game may be executed, there is provided an uplifting effect means for executing the display effect causing the large amount per game in a predetermined display area with a relatively high probability,
The uplifting effect means is
Even if the small amount per winning game is likely to be determined when the low profit lottery mode is determined by the exception winning lottery mode determining means, the display effect causing the large amount per winning game is executed based on the establishment of the specific condition It is characterized by having means for promoting

  According to the above technical concept, the game ball as a game medium which is driven toward the game area 1100 by the operation of the player has a socket (first start port 2101, second start port) provided in the game area 1100. It is acceptable in 2102). Then, based on the reception of the game media to the receiving port, the winning determination is performed by the lottery means (step S315).

  If the result of the above-mentioned hit determination is a hit (special hit), it is possible to determine one of a plurality of hit modes. Specifically, this condition is a condition in which the jackpot mode to be executed has not yet been determined although the condition device has been activated. And, as the above-mentioned plural hitting modes, “pervasive hit game with risk compared to“ relief type big hit form ”in which a big hit game is usually executed and this“ relief type big hit form ” A jackpot form of the type is prepared.

  The normal jackpot game to be executed when it is determined to "relief type jackpot form" is a hit mode in which it is possible to grant a certain amount of prize balls, and a big winning game opening and closing operation is performed during the jackpot game As long as the game ball is fired toward 2103, it is guaranteed that a certain amount of winning balls are paid out. In the present embodiment, nine rounds of jackpot games correspond.

  In addition, the exception winning game to be executed when determined to be "the pounding type of pounding type" is an aspect of the jackpot game in which the award balls of an amount far from the above-described fixed amount are provided in a difference mode. Specifically, a small amount of gaming is provided only the amount of balls less than the predetermined amount (equivalent to three rounds or six rounds of this embodiment of the jackpot game of this embodiment), and the award of the amount of balls exceeding the predetermined amount It is an aspect of the jackpot game in which any one of the jackpot games is executed among the possible large amount per game (corresponding to the 15 round jackpot game of the present embodiment). In the “a mode in which a difference occurs,” the amount of prize balls to be awarded differs depending on which of the jackpot games is executed among the jackpot games, such as a small amount per game and a large amount per game.

  In addition, when “quantity below fixed amount” and “quantity above fixed amount” are determined to “jackpot type of pounding type”, it is risk compared to when it is determined to “jacket type of relief type” It is preferable that there is a difference in the amount of award balls to be given to the extent that the player feels that the value of is high. For example, "an amount below a certain amount" is greatly lower to about half or less than a certain amount, and "an amount exceeding a certain amount" is about 1.5 times or more as a certain amount The player is likely to feel that the risk is high when it is determined that “the jackpot form of throbbing type” is greater than when it is determined to be the jackpot form of peace of mind type ”. I think that the.

  In the present embodiment, the number of rounds is changed between when it is determined to be "relief type jackpot form" and when it is determined to be a small amount game or a large amount per game among "the pounding type jackpot". However, this presupposes that the amount of winnings awarded per round is the same. That is, by varying the number of rounds according to the mode of the jackpot game, the amount of award balls to be provided is made different, but it is not limited thereto. For example, although the number of rounds is the same, by varying the amount of award balls provided per round, the amount of award balls provided may be varied according to the mode of the jackpot game. Also, for example, the concept of the round may be eliminated, and the amount of award balls to be awarded may be made different by changing the open time of the big winning opening 2103 and the maximum number of winnings according to the mode of the big hit game.

  In this manner, the state of the jackpot game which can be determined to be the jackpot game aspect of any of the plurality of game aspects of the game, that is, the aspect of the jackpot game to be executed despite the activation of the condition device has still been determined When it is determined that there is no state, it is executed by the jackpot mode determination means (corresponding to the movable valve 2551 of the receiving unit 2550) using the game ball as the game medium driven into the game area 1100 by the operation of the player. The jackpot game is decided. Although this jackpot mode determination means operates in such a manner as to be able to determine any of "relief type jackpot form (ie normal jackpot game)" and "jacket type jackpot form (ie exception game)", Always works as usually determined to be a jackpot game. That is, the player does not aim to determine the exception hit game, and does not shoot the game ball, but merely simply shoots the game ball to the game area 1100 (for example, to the game area 1100) If the ball is kept firing continuously continuously, most of the jackpot mode determination means operate so that it is usually determined to be a jackpot game and not a exception game.

  In this embodiment, after preparing the left side route determined to be exceptional hit game and the right route normally determined to be a big hit game, the launched game ball is always led to the right side route instead of the left side route. For ease of use, the movable valve 2551 of the receiving unit 2550 as the jackpot mode determining means is activated, but the mode for always making the jackpot game easier to be determined is not limited to this. For example, although the destination to which the launched game ball is led is, for example, one, it is usually determined to be a jackpot game or an exception game according to the timing when the game ball is led to the one lead destination, It may be controlled so that it is more likely to be determined to be a big hit game normally than the exception hit game.

  When the jackpot game is determined by the jackpot mode determination means, the mode of jackpot game is set based on this determination (step S6084), and the jackpot game in the set mode is executed by the jackpot game execution means (step S210) Ru. Specifically, when normally determined to be a big hit game a big hit game (9 round big hit game) is executed, while it is determined to be an exception hit game (YES in step S 6075 and NO in step S 6076), An internal lottery is performed by the exception determining means (step S6080), and in this internal lottery, it is determined to be a small amount game (3 round or 6 rounds jackpot game) or a large amount per game (15 rounds jackpot game) Be done. Then, in this internal lottery, when it is determined to be a small amount per game, a small amount per game is executed, and when it is determined to be a large amount per game, a large amount per game is executed.

  By the way, the jackpot mode determining means (the movable valve 2551 of the receiving unit 2550) takes a longer time than the mode (the mode illustrated in FIG. 136) in which the gaming ball is guided to the left route in the receiving space 2530 as described above. The game ball is maintained in the mode (the mode illustrated in FIG. 137) in which the gaming ball is guided to the right route in the receiving space 2530. On the other hand, the time maintained in the mode (the mode illustrated in FIG. 137) in which the gaming ball is guided to the right route in the receiving space 2530 is extremely short, 2 seconds or less. In this way, when it is determined that the jackpot game or the exception hit game is normally, the jackpot game is always determined, not the exception hit game.

  That is, in the case where the game ball is merely shot toward the game area 1100 instead of aiming at the timing at which the game ball is led to a specific route (left side route), such a game ball Most will be guided to the right route in the receiving space 2530. As a result, for the stability-oriented player, the condition device can be operated to make it possible to determine either the normal jackpot game (relief type jackpot form) or the exceptional hit game (shock type jackpot form). In each case, it is possible to reduce the burden of having to select one of these. In particular, in the case of a gaming machine in which the progress of the game is temporarily interrupted, for example, the game is interrupted so that the player's intention is not selected in spite of the jackpot being won. It also makes me feel bothered by In this regard, according to the gaming machine of the present technical concept, while realizing different game characteristics when the gaming ball is guided to the right route and to the left route, the above-described troublesomeness is reduced. Can.

  By the way, when it is determined that the exception ball is a game as a result of the game ball being fired aiming at the timing when the game ball is led to the left route while the big hit game is always executed, the small hit is executed Although it is accompanied by the risk of being played, the player naturally expects that a large amount of games will be played. In addition, it is not necessarily aiming at the timing when the game ball is led to the left route, but when the game ball is just fired, most of them are usually determined to be a jackpot game, so it is extremely more than normally decided to be a jackpot game. It is determined to be a game per exception only infrequently. Therefore, even when the jackpot game is always executed, even if the exceptional hit mode is determined, the display effect is performed as if the degree of expectation for the mass game to be played is very low, There is a risk of rising interest and falling interest. Then, when the condition device is activated, the timing at which the normal jackpot game is determined is normally performed (the timing at which the exceptional hit game is not determined) although the jackpot game or the exception hit game can be determined normally. There is a possibility that only the game which shoots the game ball aiming at the game may not be performed, and the fun of this game machine which will be in a state that can be determined by either the big hit game or the exception hit game will usually be withdrawn .

  Therefore, in this gaming machine, unless aiming at the timing when the gaming ball is led to a specific route, it is always determined to be a big hit game normally unless the game ball is fired, an exception hit game as a result of aiming at an exception hit game If the expected value of the amount of prize balls to be paid out is normally the same as or substantially the same as when it is determined to be a jackpot game, the effect mode to be displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 is The display effect (A pattern) that evokes a large number of hits is displayed with a high probability (lifting effect means) than the display effect (C pattern) which recalls a small amount of hits. As a result, for the player who sees the effect mode displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670, a large amount of per capita game (15 rounds of big hit games) is executed rather than a small amount of per game (3 rounds or 6 rounds of big hit games) It is possible to make the player aware as if the probability of the game is high. As a result, whenever an exception game is determined while the jackpot is normally executed whenever the condition device is activated, a small amount of game (3 rounds or 6 rounds of jackpots) is internally executed. Although the probability and the probability that a large number of games are played (15 rounds of big hit games) is the same or almost the same, the player's expectation for a large number of games can be increased, and the decline in interest is suppressed It is possible to

  Moreover, the display effect performed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 has passed the jackpot determination gate 3660 after the route detection sensor 2580L detects that the game ball launched by the player has passed the left gate 2575L. Since the display effect is performed until the effect is detected by the jackpot mode determination gate detection sensor 3665, when the display effect is performed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670, the speculation per mode is determined However, per unit or per unit decisions have not yet been made. Therefore, unlike a conventional gaming machine in which the player merely looks at the display effect, the player can be greatly interested in the display effect performed by the mini liquid crystal display 3670.

  Furthermore, in the case where the exception winning game is executed (that is, when it is determined to be "the jackpot type of pounding type"), the determination as to which jackpot game is executed as the exception winning game is the low profit lottery mode (b When a specific condition is satisfied (when it is determined that the display effect of the A pattern is to be executed) although the game is relatively easy to determine a small amount when it is performed in the lottery pattern of the pattern) Since a display effect to expect a large amount of games (15 rounds of jackpot games) is executed, the game medium is to be thrown in (in aiming at the timing determined to be the “big hit form of pounding type”) in the form that satisfies the specific conditions. Can be further urged to the player.

  It should be noted that “when the exception winning game is determined, the expected value of the amount of prize balls to be paid out is the same as or substantially the same as that normally determined to be the big hit game” When viewed from the perspective, it means that the probability determined to be played per small amount and the probability determined to be played per large amount are the same or substantially the same. That is, when it is determined to be an exception winning game, it is determined to be one of a plurality of lottery modes having different probabilities of being determined to be a large amount winning game, but including a determination of this lottery mode It means that the probability determined per hit is the same or almost the same as the probability determined per small amount. For example, in the present embodiment, when it is determined that the exception winning game (the jackpot type of pounding type), which lottery pattern is selected from a plurality of lottery patterns (lottery mode) a pattern ~ c pattern in step S6078 The probability of being determined to be a large amount per game (15 rounds of big hit games) is different depending on the (see FIG. 204). Thus, although the probability determined to be a large number per game is different depending on which lottery pattern is determined among a pattern to c pattern, the process determined to any lottery pattern among a pattern to c pattern Viewed comprehensively, when it is determined to be an exceptional game, the probability that is determined to be a small amount per game and the probability to be determined to be a large amount per game will be the same. The present invention is also intended to include such an aspect.

  Also, in the above description, when it is determined that the exception winning game is made, the case where the probability determined to be played by a small amount and the probability determined to be played by a large amount is the same or substantially the same is described. The present invention can also be applied to the case where the probability determined to be played per mass game is lower than the probability determined. In this case, although the probability determined to be a large amount per game is lower than the probability determined to be a small amount per game, a certain amount (for the player who sees the presentation mode displayed on the mini liquid crystal display 3670 Usually, it becomes possible to be aware as to how high the expectation degree that a winning ball exceeding a payout amount) is paid out when a jackpot game is executed is very high.

  In addition, the display effect that recalls a small amount per game is not limited to only a display effect in which the probability that a small amount per game is actually determined is smaller than the large amount per game, and regardless of the internal probability, a small amount per game It is an effect that also includes display effects capable of making the player aware as if being executed. For example, the display effect of the C pattern in the present embodiment is a probability that is determined to be a large amount per game (15 rounds of jackpots) than a probability determined to be a small amount per game (3 rounds or 6 rounds of jackpots) Because it is a display effect that is not determined in the c pattern with high (see FIG. 204 (b)) (see FIG. 206), a display effect with a high probability of being determined to be a small amount per game rather than a large amount per game You can say that. However, regardless of the internal probability, it is an effect that also includes a display effect in which a large number of characters (Oryu 5000) reminding of a large volume hitting game is more than a character (small dragon 5100) recalling a large volume hitting game .

  Similarly, the display effect reminiscent of a large amount per game is not limited to only a display effect in which the probability that a large amount per game is determined is actually higher than a small amount per game, and regardless of the internal probability It is the meaning also including the display effect which inspires a player's sense of expectation as if is executed. For example, the display effect of the A pattern in this embodiment is a probability determined to be a large amount per game (15 rounds of jackpots) than a probability to be determined to a small amount of games (3 rounds or 6 rounds of jackpots) Because it is a display effect that is likely to be determined in the high c pattern (see FIG. 204 (b)) (see FIG. 206), the probability that a large number of games will be determined per game is actually higher than a small game It can be said. However, regardless of the internal probability, it is an effect that also includes a display effect in which a large number of characters (Koryu 5100) recalling a large number of games are displayed rather than a character (Oryu 5000) small numbers recalling a small number of games .

  In addition, a normal big hit game (9 round big hit game) is a hit game that is executed when the normal big hit game (reliable type big hit form) is determined. In addition, a large amount per game and a small amount per game is a type of perus which is further determined when it is determined to be an exceptional pervious game (a big hit form of pounding type). And, a large amount per game (15 rounds of jackpots) is a jackpot game to be executed when it is determined to be a large amount per game, a small amount per game (3 rounds or 6 rounds of jackpots) is a small amount per game It is a hit game to be executed when determined.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 204, it is not determined to be either a large amount per game or a small amount per game, but any of 3 rounds, 6 rounds and 15 rounds of jackpot games Although it has been decided, it may be decided first to choose either a large amount per game or a small amount per game, and then determine a specific number of rounds.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when it is determined that the exception winning game (the jackpot type of pounding type), it excludes the 9 round jackpot game that is usually executed when it is determined that the jackpot game (reliable type jackpot type) The form is determined to be one of three rounds, six rounds and fifteen rounds of jackpot games, but may be determined to include nine rounds of jackpot games.

  Further, in the above embodiment, although the game machine to which the pachinko machine 1 is applied is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and is applied to a pachislot machine or a game machine formed by fusing a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine. Also in this case, the same function and effect as described above can be exhibited.
