[3-4. Liquid Crystal Control Substrate]
Next, a liquid crystal control substrate 4150 that performs drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1400 on the peripheral substrate 4010 is a liquid crystal control MPU that stores a liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor, various processing programs, various commands, and various data. ROM 4150b, VDP (abbreviation of Video Display Processor) 4150c for display control of the liquid crystal display device 1400 described above, character ROM 4150d for storing various data of the screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, and stored in the character ROM 4150d And various character data are transferred and copied.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a incorporates a parallel input / output port, a serial input / output port and the like, and receives the above-described display command from the peripheral control board 4140. Then, the VDP 4150 c is controlled to perform drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1400. When the liquid crystal control MPU 4150 a operates normally, as described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150 a outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control board 4140.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150 b stores a plurality of schedule data corresponding to the display command, nonresident area transfer schedule data corresponding to the display command, and the like, in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the configuration of the screen in time series, and defines the order of the screen drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is constructed by arranging non-resident area transfer data defining the order of various data stored in character ROM 4150 d to a non-resident area described later of 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 1400 according to the progress of the schedule data.

  When the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a receives a display command from the peripheral control board 4140, it extracts schedule data corresponding to the display command, extracts the first screen data of the extracted schedule data from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, and outputs it to the VDP 4150c. . Then, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts screen data following the head screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP 4150c. As described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b one by one from the head screen data, and outputs the screen 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 to be described later from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data, and generates drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400. The generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1400. 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 1400 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 1400. It is a method to output.

  The character ROM 4150 d stores a great deal of sprite data, and its capacity is large. If the capacity of the character ROM 4150 d increases, that is, if the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1400 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 1400. 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, “sprite” is an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 as a unit. For example, when displaying various persons on the liquid crystal display device 1400, data for drawing the respective persons is called "sprite". Accordingly, in the case where a plurality of persons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400, 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. The sprites are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 with the positions arranged on the screen and the upper / lower relationship (hereinafter referred to as “order of superposition of sprites”) when the sprites overlap with each other.

  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 1400 has 800 pixels in the horizontal direction and 600 pixels (SVGA) in the vertical direction, and displays the pixels in one direction along the pixels sequentially from left to right of the liquid crystal display device 1400 It is driven by a main scan that sets a state, and a sub-scan that repeatedly performs the main scan in the direction intersecting with the one direction. When the liquid crystal display device 1400 receives drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control substrate 4150, the liquid crystal drive circuit 1315 selects the liquid crystal display device 1400 as main scanning based on the drawing data for one line. Output to the pixels of one line sequentially from the left to the right. Then, when the output for one line is completed, it shifts to the line immediately below as the sub scan, and similarly, when the drawing data for the next line is input, the liquid crystal display as the main scan based on the drawing data for the next line. The signals are sequentially output to pixels for one line sequentially from left to right of the device 1400.

  In addition, the liquid crystal display device 1400 incorporates a backlight (cold cathode tube) which is lit by the inverter substrate 1411.

[4. Game content]
The game contents in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be specifically described. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the storage tray 311 of the tray unit 300 is transparent when the player rotates the operation handle portion 461 disposed at the lower right of the door frame 5. A game ball is started to be launched into the upper part of the game area 605 disposed on the front of the game panel 600. The game balls driven into the upper part in the game area 605 flow down in the upper left side or the right side of the game area 605 according to the hitting strength. The hitting strength of the game ball can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the operating handle portion 461 so that it can be hit harder as it is rotated clockwise. Further, in the game area 605, a plurality of obstacle nails are implanted at a suitable position in the front of the game panel 600 with a predetermined gauge arrangement, and the game ball is in contact with the obstacle nails to cause the flow While the speed is suppressed, various motions are given to the game ball and the motions can be enjoyed.

  When the game balls driven into the upper part of the center character 2400 flow down the left side from the approximate center in the left-right direction and reach the upper shelf 2404 of the center character 2400, the upper shelf 2404 moves to the left region of the center character 2400. It is When the gaming ball flowing down the left side of the center character 2400 enters and passes through the gate 2302 of the gate member 2300 disposed on the left side of the center character 2400 and is detected by the gate sensor 2304, the detection signal is based on the detection signal. The main control board 4100 normally generates random numbers. Then, based on the ordinary random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 645 in the function display unit 1400 is variably displayed (the normal symbol display 645 consisting of one LED emits light alternately in red, green and orange), Normal symbols based on normal random numbers (normal lottery results) extracted after a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds to 30 seconds) have elapsed are stopped (the normal symbol indicator 645 emits either red or green) Be done. 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 (the normal symbol display 645 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 645 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 and a symbol random number (special lottery result) described later, for example, special When "per time short (including low probability time short, high probability time short, etc.)" is extracted as a random number and a pattern random number (special lottery result), change its fluctuation time and spread time to short time You may do so. Specifically, in the normal symbol variation pattern table used when selecting the normal symbol variation pattern in the non-time-short condition (low probability non-time short condition) and in the time-short condition (low probability time short condition, high probability time short condition) Select the normal symbol variation pattern table to be used when selecting the normal symbol variation pattern according to the gaming state, and change it easily by selecting the normal symbol variation pattern based on the selected normal symbol variation pattern table be able to.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, an area where game balls can flow down is provided on the left side from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the center character 2400 but the center to the right along the outer periphery of the game area 605 An arc-shaped area extending downward is provided, and when the game ball enters this area, the game ball is sent to the lower side of the center part 2400 without getting an opportunity to enter the gate 2302 or the warp entrance 2405. As a result, the chances are reduced and the movement of the game ball can not be enjoyed so much. Therefore, the player appropriately adjusts the amount of rotation of the operation handle 461 so that the game ball flows down the area on the left side from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side of the center character 2400, and the game ball is played in the dark cloud It is possible to prevent a decrease in interest by suppressing the game operation such as hitting hard and enjoying the game by the operation of the operation handle section 461 inherent to the pachinko machine 1.

  By the way, in this example, when passage of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2304 while the normal symbol is being variably displayed in the normal symbol display 645, the normal symbol in variation is stopped and generated and extracted earlier. Until the result of the ordinary random number is determined, the ordinary random number (including the ordinary pattern variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2304 is temporarily stored and its display is suspended. The number of stored ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of reservations) is displayed on the ordinary symbol storage indicator 646. The ordinary symbol storage indicator 646 is composed of four LEDs, and the number of LEDs to be lit indicates the number of the storage. In this example, up to four can be stored and displayed. ing. When the number of memories exceeds four, the normal random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2304 is discarded.

  In addition, the game ball which has been driven into the game area 605 and flowed down the left side of the center character 2400 is moved toward the center side of the game area 605 below the center character 2400 by the shelf portion 2102 of the side decoration member 2100. It has become. Then, when the game ball is won in the general winning opening 2104 arranged below the center role 2400 and detected by the general winning opening sensor 3081, the main control board 4100 pays out control board 1186 based on the detection signal. To the predetermined payout command, the payout control board 1186 controls the payout motor 815 of the winning ball unit 800 according to the payout command, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are stored in the storage tray 311. It is supposed to be paid out.

  If the gaming ball driven into the gaming area 605 does not win in any of the general winning opening 2104, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, the game area 605 is It is provided at the center lower end in the left-right direction, and is discharged from the out port 606 downward to the rear side of the game board 4. In addition, even if the game ball is won in any of the general winning opening 2104, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, the winning game balls are returned to the inside of the game area 605 It is discharged to the rear lower side of the game board 4 without.

  On the other hand, when the gaming ball flowing down the left side of the center character 2400 enters the warp entrance 2405 opened on the left side surface of the center character 2400, the game ball is supplied to the first stage 2411 on the rear side of the stage 2410 of the center character 2400. It is supposed to be Then, the gaming balls supplied onto the first stage 2411 roll on the first stage 2411 in the left-right direction, released forward, and supplied onto the second stage 2412. In the second stage 2412 as well, the gaming balls roll in the left-right direction and are released into the gaming area 605 above the attacker unit 2100. When the gaming ball is released from the center of the second stage 2412 in the stage 2410 into the gaming area 605, it 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 3080, a predetermined number (for example, three) of gaming balls from the winning ball unit 800 via the main control board 4100 etc. Are to be dispensed to the storage tray 311.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, since the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the big winning opening 2103 are arranged in the vertical direction, the gaming ball released from the stage 2410 is It is likely to be accepted by the first starting opening 2101 etc. with a high probability, and when the second starting opening 2102 or the large winning opening 2103 is acceptable, the possibility of being accepted when the gaming ball is released from the stage 2410 is high. Therefore, not only the first starting opening 2101 but also the second starting opening 2102 and the big winning opening 2103 can be made to have a sense of expectation regarding the reception of the game ball and to enhance the interest.

  By the way, when the game ball passes through the gate 2302 of the gate member 2300 and is detected by the gate sensor 2304 and a "normal hit" is drawn as a normal lottery result, as described above, the pair that closes the second starting opening 2102 When the movable piece 2105 is expanded for a predetermined time to be able to win, and the game ball is received by the second starting opening 2102 and detected by the second starting opening sensor 2127 when the winning is possible, the main control board A predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the storage tray 311 from the prize ball unit 800 via 4100 and the like.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, when the game ball is won in the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3080 and the second start port sensor 2127, the first start In the mouth 2101, generation and extraction of a predetermined first special random number and a first symbol random number are performed, and in the second starting opening 2102, generation and extraction of a predetermined second special random number and a second symbol random number are respectively performed. Then, after the variation display of the special symbol displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 641 or the second special symbol display 642 of the function display unit 1400 is started based on the extracted special random number and symbol random number , A special symbol corresponding to the extracted special random number and symbol random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result. In the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests "big hit", the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern A big hit game state occurs, and in the meantime, by winning a game ball to the large winning opening 2103, more game balls can be obtained. It should be noted that, when one gaming ball wins the big winning opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of gaming balls are paid out to the storage tray 311 from the winning ball unit 800.

  The first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 also in the first start opening 2101 and the second start opening 2102 as in the case of the variation display of the normal symbol by the passage of the game ball to the gate 2302. In special symbols during variable display, or when it is not possible to fluctuate and display special symbols such as during a big hit gaming state, the game ball wins to the starting openings 2101 and 2102, and the first starting opening sensor 3080, second starting opening sensor The first special random number and the first extracted based on the detection signals from the first starting opening sensor 3080 and the second starting opening sensor 2127 until the variation display of the special symbol becomes possible when it is detected in 2127 The symbol random number and the second special random number and the second symbol random number are stored and their display is suspended, and the number of the stored special random number and symbol random number is stored in the first special symbol memory示器 643 and adapted to display at the second special symbol memory indicator 644.

  The first special symbol memory indicator 643 and the second special symbol memory indicator 644 consist of two LEDs, respectively, and indicate the number of memories by the combination of the light emitting states of each of the lighted, lit, and blinking LEDs. In this example, up to four of each are stored and displayed. When the number of memories exceeds four, the extracted special random numbers and symbol random numbers are discarded. Further, the second special random number and the second symbol random number are executed (digested) prior to the first special random number and the first symbol random number. That is, withholding of the lottery result relating to the second starting port 2102 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, a special random number of the first special random number or the second special random number extracted based on the detection of the first starting opening sensor 3080 and the second starting opening sensor 2127 is determined in advance with the hit determination table and By checking, it is determined whether the special random number is “lost,” “small hit,” or “big hit,” and based on the detection of the first start opening sensor 3080, the second start opening sensor 2127. By matching the pattern random numbers of the first symbol random number and the second symbol random number extracted in the second place with the symbol determination table determined in advance, the "big hit" is either "2R big hit" or "15R big hit" Heel, "permanently short time no loss (high probability non-permanence short)" "permanent change per time (high probability per time short)", "time short per time (low probability per time short)", "non-probable time non-permanent short time (low probability per time short) Any of If, so that also is determined.

  Then, the first special random number and the second special random number extracted (lottery) triggered by the starting winning combination of the game ball to the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 (special drawing result), "small hit" In this case, the main control board 4100 closes an opening / closing pattern for closing the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100 for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds) plural times (for example, Two times, it is configured to generate a small hit gaming state which enables the player to win the game ball to the big winning opening 2103 repeatedly.

  On the other hand, when the extracted first special random number and second special random number are "big hit", the main control board 4100 opens for a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) after opening the opening / closing member 2106 of the attacker unit 2100. ) Or an open / close pattern that closes the open / close member 2106 when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy the condition of winning in the special winning opening 2103 (one open / close pattern for one round) ) Is repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds), and if it is “2R big hit” it will be repeated 2 rounds, if it is “15R big hit” it will be repeated 15 rounds, respectively, a big hit game advantageous to the player It is designed to generate a condition. It should be noted that after the end of the predetermined number of rounds, a high probability hourly judgment table with an improved probability of being judged as a big hit than the low probability hourly judgment table for matching with a special random number at low probability for "high probability hourly short hit". It is supposed to be replaced with.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the second special random number, and the first special random number extracted with the start winning of the game ball to the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 The first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 of the function display unit 1400 are variably displayed according to the second symbol random number (according to the special lottery result), and also in the liquid crystal display device 1400 An effect image according to the special random number and the symbol random number (special lottery result) is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1400, a series of decorative symbol rows consisting of a plurality of different symbols are displayed in a plurality of rows (for example, three rows of left, middle and right decorative symbols). When the variable display is started and then stopped and displayed sequentially (in this example, it is stopped and displayed in the order of left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle decorative symbol) and finally all decorative symbol rows are stopped and displayed. The determination result of the special random number and the symbol random number extracted by the combination of the decorative symbols stopped and displayed is suggested to the player. That is, the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol and stop symbol of the second special symbol) of the first special symbol and the second special symbol corresponds to the stop symbol of the decoration symbol and the special lottery by the start winning According to the result, after the plurality of decorative symbol rows are variably displayed, the effect image to be stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result is displayed. Specifically, when the first special symbol and the second special symbol are in a mode indicating that the mode at the time of the variable stop will be a big hit, the stop symbol showing that the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is also a big hit (big hit symbol ; In this example, if the 15R big hit, the left, middle and right decorative symbols are all displayed in the same pattern, and the 15R big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and if it is a 2R big hit, the left, middle and right decorative symbols are made in advance. The 2R jackpot symbol of the combination that includes two or more determined symbols will be stopped and displayed). Note that the player is generally displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 because the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is larger and easier to see than the special symbols of the first and second special symbol displays 641 and 642. It pays attention to the decorative pattern.

  A decorative symbol (in this example, the left decorative symbol and in this example) which is stopped and displayed while leaving one variable decorative symbol row (in this example, a middle decorative symbol row) as one of the effect images that the plurality of decorative symbol rows are variably displayed. There is a "reach effect image" that is displayed so that the combination of the right decorative symbol) fulfills a specific condition (reach; stop display of the left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol with the same symbol), and this "reach effect image There are "reach per reach" and "reach lost", as a special lottery result in which "is displayed." 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 decorative symbol row that is variably displayed after reach display. In addition to the effect display related to the start winning, the liquid crystal display device 1400 can also display a "big hit game effect image" displayed during the "big hit" game.

  The variation display of the special symbols on the first special symbol display 641 and the second special symbol display 642 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 193). The variation display of the decorative symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1400 is controlled by the peripheral control substrate 4140 and the liquid crystal control substrate 4150 based on the command according to the lottery result transmitted from the main control substrate 4100 to the peripheral control substrate 4140. It has become. In this manner, since the variation display of the decorative symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1400 to which the player pays particular attention is controlled by the peripheral control board 4140 or the like, some of the lottery results transmitted from the main control board 4100 For one command, it is possible to prepare in advance variation patterns of a plurality of decorative symbols and to increase the variation patterns of the decorative symbols in the liquid crystal display device 1400. In addition, "big hit game effect image" and the like displayed in the "big hit" game and the like are also controlled by the peripheral control board 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.

  In the peripheral control board 4140, in addition to the control of the effect image, the right logo movable ornament 3230 of the movable upper movable ornament unit 3200 provided on the back unit 3000 and the left according to the command concerning the lottery result.

[7. Control processing]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (in particular, the main control MPU 4100a) will be described. FIG. 194 (a) is a flowchart showing the procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 194 (a), the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment first performs various registers and RAMs as the processing of step S1 on condition that the RAM clear switch 624a is operated. Initialize the stored data. The RAM clear switch 624 a is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and can not be operated unless the main body frame 3 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch 624a outputs a clear signal to the main control board 4100 according to the operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) elapses from the power on, and the main control MPU 4100a receives the clear signal at the power on When it is judged that there is an initialization process (step S1), the various registers and data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a are initialized.

  Although not illustrated, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off, backup processing is performed to save information (for example, various flags etc.) indicating the progress of the game in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. When the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on and the RAM clear switch 624a is not operated, the information stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). And execute recovery processing to recover the state according to the information. When the RAM clear switch 624a is operated when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the pachinko machine 1 is set to the initial state by executing the initialization process without executing the recovery process.

  Next, as the process of step S2, the update of the random number which is the number updated within a predetermined numerical range is performed. That is, in the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment, the special random number (first special random number, second special random number) to be subjected to the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol The reach effect is executed as a game effect to be executed by the liquid crystal display device 1400 corresponding to the fluctuation random number provided for the lottery process for the predetermined time (the fluctuation time) required for the fluctuation display control of, and the fluctuation display of the special symbol. Reach random numbers (reach random numbers) to be subjected to the lottery process whether or not, symbol random numbers to be subjected to the lottery process for determining the type of the big hit when it is determined to be a big hit based on the special random number A random number such as a symbol random number, a second symbol random number), a random number (normal random number) to be subjected to a lottery process for a chance to hit an action trigger of the movable piece 2105, and so on It is equipped with a counter.

  In this example, the first random symbol common to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is used, that is, even when the first start opening 2101 is started, the second start opening 2102 is started. Even if the reach random number is configured to be acquired from the same counter that updates reach random numbers, the reach randomization execution ratio can be obtained by acquiring from different counters where the range of random numbers to update reach random numbers is different. The first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol correspond to the first special symbol as a reach determination table in which a reach determination value to be compared with the acquired reach random number may be made different. By providing the second reach determination table in which the reach determination value different from the one reach determination table is set, the execution ratio of the reach effect is made different Good.

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

  FIG. 194 (b) is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100.

  As shown in FIG. 194 (b), in this interrupt control, first, a register save process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as the processing of step S12, detection signals from various switches such as the gate sensor 2304, the first starting opening sensor 3080, the second starting opening sensor 2127, the count sensor 2128, and the general winning opening sensor 3081 are input. Be done. Then, next, in step S13, random number update processing for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, the random number (special random number, symbol random number, ordinary random number) related to the display mode at the time of the stop of the fluctuation display of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol among the above-mentioned random numbers The counter operation of the random number counter is performed.

  And after updating the random number in this way, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs a special symbol process process including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the above special symbol Run. In addition, although this special symbol process processing will be described later, here, basically, a special symbol process flag (a first special symbol process flag, a first special symbol process flag, Corresponding processing will be selectively executed based on (2) special symbol process flag).

  Then, next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes, as the processing of step S15, a normal symbol process process including a lottery process concerning a hit when the movable piece 2105 becomes an operation trigger. Also in this normal symbol process processing, basically, the corresponding processing is selectively executed in accordance with the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is configured to execute the lottery process so that the drive frequency of the movable piece 2105 becomes higher in a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state Time saving control). In this embodiment, such time reduction control is achieved by shortening the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol only by a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state and extending the open time of the movable piece 2105. To make it happen.

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

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs an information output process of outputting data such as contact information (15R big hit, 2R big hit) or the like supplied to the hole management computer next as the process of step S18. .

  Then, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 detects the first start port sensor 3080, the second start port sensor 2127, the count sensor 2128, the general winning port sensor 3081 and the like as the process of step S19. When the signal is in the on state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 1186 so that a prize ball corresponding to the signal is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 4110a mounted on the payout control board 1186 outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 815 from the payout motor drive circuit 4110d, and pays out the prize balls to the player.

  In addition, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 next executes storage processing of checking increase and decrease of the number of holdings as processing of step S20. Next, test terminal processing, which is processing of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed as the process of step S21. After that, while performing drive control of the actuator which always operates (step S22), the contents of the above register are restored (step S23), and when the interrupt enabled state is set (step S24), this control ends. It becomes.

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

  FIG. 195 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that random numbers provided for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 195, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is firstly controlled by the first starting opening sensor 3080. The first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter on condition that the detection signal is in the on state (the first start opening 2101 is entered) (step S31) A first starting opening passage process such as storing in one special symbol hold storage area is executed (step S32). In addition, the second special random number of the second special symbol is the random number under the condition that the detection signal by the second starting opening sensor 2127 is in the on state (the second starting opening 2102 is present) (step S33) The second starting opening passage processing such as acquiring from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol hold storage area of the RAM is executed (step S34).

  Next, whether or not the big hit execution flag indicating that control is in the big hit gaming state is set, and whether or not the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit gaming state is controlled is set. If it is determined (step S35) and the big hit execution flag is set, the hit control process (step S39) is executed to control the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state. The probability change flag is set when the collision control process related to 15R high probability time-short, 2R high probability time-short, and 2R high probability short-time is terminated, and 15R high probability time-short, 15R low probability time-short, 2R When ending the hit control process related to high probability time-short hit, set the time-shortening flag, and to end the hit control process related to 15R high probability time-short hit and 2R high probability time-short hit Is set, and the initial value "100" is set to the counter value of the time saving number counter when ending the hit control processing relating to the 15R low probability time hitting. As a result, control to improve the winning probability of the big hit is executed after the end of the big hit gaming state related to the 15 R high probability time short, the 2 R high probability time short, and the 2 R high probability short time per, the 15 R high probability time short and 2 R After the end of the big hit gaming state related to high probability time short, time saving control is executed until the big hit again until the big hit gaming state related to 15R low probability time short is executed until the variation display of the special symbol is executed 100 times Control will be implemented.

  On the other hand, if the big hit execution flag is not set, the condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is "0" (Step S36), the first special symbol process processing including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the first special symbol is executed (step S37), and the second special symbol stored in the second special symbol storage area The second special symbol including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the second special symbol condition that the value of the second special reserve number counter showing the number of special random numbers is not "0" (step S36) Process processing is performed (step S38). Thus, in this example, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed when the value of the second special hold number counter is not "0".

  FIG. 196 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first starting opening passage process (step S32).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first starting opening sensor 3080 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball has entered the first starting opening 2101, as shown in FIG. 196. In step S41, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the first special hold number counter that counts the number of pending first special symbols from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. And based on this counter value, it is judged whether the number of holdings of the above-mentioned first special symbol is "4" which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S41, when it is determined that the first hold number is not the maximum value, the following steps S42 to S44 are performed to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state Will be processed. That is, first, as the process of step S42, the first special hold number counter is counted up. At this time, a combined special hold number counter that counts the sum of the first hold number and the second hold number is counted up. The main control MPU 4100a can grasp the sum of the first holding number and the second holding number by referring to the counter value of the total special holding number counter. Next, as the process of step S43, the first special random number and the first symbol random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, next, as the process of step S44, the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as each random number acquired in this way Store in

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

  Next, if the time reduction flag indicating that the above time reduction control is being performed is not set (step S45), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether a big hit will be made based on the first special random number acquired in step S43. Judgment, when it is judged that it becomes a big hit, the kind of big hit is decided on the basis of the first design random number, when it does not become the big hit, the effect which decides whether it reaches on the basis of reach random number The predetermination process is performed (step S46), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the time saving flag is set, the hold number specifying command according to the hold number is set and the process is ended (step S47). As a result, whether or not to be a big hit before starting variable display based on the starting winning combination generated by the game ball winning to the first starting opening 2101, the type of the big hitting, and whether to reach if it is out It becomes possible to determine In the present example, the effect prior determination process regarding the first special symbol is executed on the condition that time saving control is not executed.

  FIG. 197 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second starting opening passage process (step S34).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2127 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball has entered the second start port 2102, as shown in FIG. 197. In step S51, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. And based on this counter value, it is judged whether the number of reservations of the above-mentioned 2nd special symbol is "4" which is the maximum value.

  If it is determined in the process of step S51 that the second holding number is not the maximum value, the following steps S52 to S54 are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into the holding state. Will be processed. That is, first, as the process of step S52, the second special hold number counter is counted up and the total special hold number counter is counted up. Next, as the process of step S53, the second special random number and the second symbol random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, next, as the process of step S54, the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as each random number thus acquired Store in

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S51 that the second hold number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly held. That is, this process ends when it is determined that the second hold number is the maximum value without newly setting the second special symbol variable display control on hold state.

  Next, if the time reduction flag indicating that the above time reduction control is being performed is set (step S55), the main control MPU 4100a determines whether a big hit will be made based on the second special random number acquired in step S53. Judgment, when it is judged that it becomes a big hit, the kind of big hit is decided on the basis of the 2nd design random number, but when it does not become a big hit, the effect which decides whether it reaches on the basis of reach random number The predetermination process is executed (step S56), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the time saving flag is not set, the pending number specifying command according to the pending number is set and the process is ended (step S57). As a result, whether or not to be a big hit before starting variable display based on the starting winning generated by the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 winning, the type of the big hitting, and whether to reach if it is out It becomes possible to determine In addition, in this example, the presentation prior determination processing regarding a 2nd special symbol is performed on condition that time saving control is performed.

  FIG. 198 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the effect pre-determination process (steps S46 and S56). Note that the effect pre-determination process performed in step S46 of the first start opening passage process and the effect pre-determination process performed in step S56 of the second start opening passage process are common program modules, and random numbers used for determination are Since only the difference is made, here, only the presentation pre-determination processing regarding the first special symbol performed in step S46 of the first starting opening passage processing will be described. In addition, the step of the first starting opening passing process by making the lottery probability of whether or not to be a big hit based on the first special random number different from the lottery probability of whether or not to be a big hit based on the second special random number. The table referred to in the effect pre-determination process performed in S46 may be different from the table referred to in the effect pre-determination process performed in step S56 of the second starting opening passage process.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table shown in FIG. 199 and the acquired random numbers, specifically the first special random number, the first symbol random number, and the reach random number By comparison, it is specified whether or not to be a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit, or if it is not a big hit, whether to execute reach production as a game effect to be executed by the liquid crystal display device 1400 (step S61). The prior determination table of FIG. 199 indicates the ratio of each determination value.

  In addition, when the probability variation flag indicating that control of the high probability state is being executed is set, it is determined whether or not the big hit is made by comparing the high probability big hit judgment value with the first special random number. If the probability change flag is not set, it is determined whether or not a big hit is made by comparing the low probability big hit judgment value with the first special random number. This high probability big hit judgment value is set in the high probability table of the above hit judgment table and is made the same random value as the big hit judgment value to be compared with the special random number, and the low probability big hit judgment value is It is set in the low probability table of the determination table and has a random number value identical to the jackpot determination value to be compared with the special random number. Therefore, by comparing the first special random number and the high probability prior determination table or the low probability prior determination table in step S61, it is possible to accurately specify whether or not a big hit is to be made.

  In this example, random numbers identical to the jackpot judgment value of the preliminary judgment table and the jackpot judgment value of the above-mentioned jack judgment table are used, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the jackpot determination value of the prior determination table includes only a part of the jackpot determination value of the hit determination table, or a part or all of the jackpot determination values of the hit determination table and the jackpot determination value of the hit determination table differs from the predetermined It may be configured to include a number of random values, and the degree of possibility of becoming a big hit in the effect pre-determination process may be determined.

  Specifically, the above-mentioned big hit judgment value which makes it possible to distinguish a part of the out-of-pocket judgment values different from the big hit judgment value and the big hit judgment value as the high probability random number group respectively The ratio to the above-mentioned outlier judgment value of the high probability random number decision attaching means which is set higher than the ratio of the above-mentioned hit judgment table where the winning probability of the above-mentioned big hit is decided, special With regard to the big hit determination in which a random number (first special random number, second special random number) is determined to be classified as either the above outlier determination value or the above big hit determination value, the same determination is performed while maintaining this in an unexecuted state By determining whether or not the special random number to be provided is a value belonging to the high-probability random number group in which the jackpot determination value and the outlier determination value are mixed. A pseudo probability preceding determination means capable of executing a preceding determination on the degree of expectation (pseudo winning probability) related to a big hit in each of the determination processes in the state of The degree of expectation according to may be determined in advance.

  In this way, by providing means for determining the high probability random number having the big hit judgment value and the negative judgment value mixed, there is a risk that confidential information about the success result of the big hit judgment still in the pending state may be leaked. While maintaining the conventional effect structure excluding the above, with regard to the degree of expectation (pseudo-wining probability) relating to the above-mentioned big hit corresponding to the mixture ratio of the big hit judgment value and the falling judgment value in the high probability random number determination means The precedent determination can be made executable. For example, prior to the execution of the above jackpot determination (digestion of the judgment processing), no prior judgment to the effect that the special random number to be used for the jackpot judgment is a value belonging to the high probability random number group (special hit judgment value) was made When the decision processing based on a random value (a value belonging to a low probability random number group which is paired with a high probability random number group) which is not the precedently determined special hit judgment value is expected, the expectation pertaining to the jackpot winning It is determined that the degree (pseudo-wining probability) is lower than the above-mentioned jackpot expectation (winning probability) (pseudo-decided winning probability).

  According to the prior determination method for such a high probability random number group, even when the specific determination process is put on hold, the big hit determination is maintained in the unexecuted state (hold). The anticipation degree (pseudo-wining probability) can be notified in advance at a predetermined timing such as, for example, at the time of new output of the hold display or at the time of shift display according to the hold digestion. Will be

  Then, as a result of comparison between the prior determination table and the acquired random numbers, the identified prior determination information (whether or not to be a big hit, the type of big hit if it is a big hit, and the liquid crystal display 1400 when it is not a big hit Reach determination is performed as the game effect to be played, and a predetermination command indicating the first hold number (the value of the first special hold number counter) is set (step S62). As a result, the starting opening (one of the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102) where the starting winning combination has occurred, the number of reserved numbers stored corresponding to the starting opening, the number based on the starting winning combination that occurred Whether the display result of the variation display of the special symbol is a big hit or not, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit, if it does not become a big hit, do reach effect as a game effect to be executed in the liquid crystal display 1400? The peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral substrate 4010 can be grasped prior to the start of the variable display according to the start winning combination.

  FIG. 200 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol process processing (step S37).

  In the first special symbol process processing, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 selectively executes one of the following five process processings according to the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag.

  1. The first special random number, the first symbol random number and the like stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 are read out, and the read out first special random number matches the predetermined big hit judgment value and small hit judgment As a result of the variable display of the first special symbol based on whether or not it matches the value, the lottery process (hit determination process) etc. of whether or not to be a big hit and whether to be a small hit or the like is performed Symbol normal processing (step S80)

  2. If a lottery result to make a big hit based on the above first special random number is obtained, the type of big hit based on the above first symbol random number (15R high probability time short, 2R high probability time short, 2R low probability time short And the above reach random number is predetermined when the processing for determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol according to the type of the big hit and the lottery result indicating that the big hit is not made based on the above first special random number is obtained. A first special symbol stop symbol setting process in which whether to perform reach effect based on whether it matches the reach determination value and processing for determining the stop symbol of the first special symbol at the time of removal etc. is performed ( Step S81)

  3. Variation pattern of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 based on the variation random number and the reach random number, or a decorative symbol executed corresponding to the first special symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1400 First variation pattern setting process for transmitting a first variation pattern command indicating the variation pattern of the decorative symbol to the peripheral control board 4140 (step S82).

  4. First special symbol variation processing to stand by until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 641 is stopped (step S83)

  5. The first special symbol variation display stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol and the result of the determination process for the type of big hit is the above first special First special symbol stop processing for stopping the variation display of the first special symbol so as to be displayed on the symbol display 641 (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is manipulated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S80) should be performed in the process of step S1 described above (see FIG. 194).

  FIG. 201 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 201, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S101. As processing of, it is judged whether there is fluctuation display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension based on the counter value by the first special suspension number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension, then it is stored in the first special symbol suspension storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the processing of step S102. The random number stored in the first storage area of the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the reach random number, and the first symbol random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol being read out is read out from the same RAM. Then, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special holding number counter is counted down and the first special symbol storage area of the first special symbol holding storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored. The random number (first special random number, reach random number, and first symbol random number) related to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol is shifted in a first-in first-out mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol hold storage area has four storage areas of 1 to 4, and stores the random numbers extracted according to the occurrence of the start winning from the first (first) area in order. Then, when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, when the start winning is generated, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, and the first When the variable display start condition based on the random numbers stored in the storage area of is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Various random numbers are moved to the (N-1) -th (N = 2 to 4) -th storage area. Thus, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the first special symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first). become.

  After that, as the processing of step S105, the hit determination processing, which is a lottery processing for the hit of the big hit, is performed based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol. Thereafter, when the above first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the above first special symbol stop symbol setting processing (step S81), this processing is ended.

  FIG. 202 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the hit determination process (step S105).

  The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is in the high probability state shown in FIG. 203 (A) if the current gaming state is the high probability state (high probability time short status, high probability non-short status) The hit determination table is selected (step S112), and if the current gaming state is the low probability state (step S111), the low probability hit determination table shown in FIG. 203A is selected (step S113), and selection is made. The hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read out in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S114).

  The hit determination table shown in FIG. 203 (A) is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 4100a, and is used when the gaming state is low probability (normal state and low probability time reduction state) And a high probability hit determination table used when the gaming state is high probability (high probability non-short state, high probability time short state). Then, in the low probability hit judgment table, it matches the jackpot judgment value indicating that the five special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) are won in the big hit, and seven kinds of special random numbers (first random number (first random number) The special random number and the second special random number match the small hit judgment value indicating that the small hit is won, and the special random number is such that the 1537 random number values coincide with the out-of-focus judgment value. Each is associated.

  Also, in the high probability hit judgment table, the same special random number (first special random number, second special random number) as the special random number (first special random number, second special random number) set in the low probability hit judgment table Special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) set in the hit determination table at low probability when 50 special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) including) match the big hit judgment value 7 kinds of special random numbers (1st special random number, 2nd special random number) identical to the 1) special random numbers (1st special random number, 2nd special random number) match the small hit judgment value, and 1492 random number values The special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) are associated with one another so as to coincide with the outlier judgment value. As described above, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability time short state, high probability short time state), the big hit judgment value indicating that the big hit is won is 10 in the low probability (normal state and short time state). Doubled. On the other hand, the small hit judgment value does not change the number of small hit judgment values that are set even when controlled to the high probability state, and the small hit judgment is always performed with a fixed probability .

  If the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected hit determination table with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing, it determines that it is a big hit (step S115a) ), The big hit flag indicating that the change is a big hit is set and the process is ended (step S115 b), and when it is determined to be a small hit (step S116 a), the change is won for a small hit If the small hit flag indicating that it is being set is set and the process is ended (step S116 b), and it is determined to be out of processing, the result of comparison between the reach determination table (not shown) and the reach random number read in step S102 ( Step S117), when it is determined that the reach is out of step (step S118), the fluctuation is Sets a reach flag indicating that the over switch by the process ends (step S119). In the reach determination table, similarly to the above-described predetermination table, the reach determination value indicating that nine types of reach random numbers reach is matched, and the reach determination value indicating that the 230 types of reach random numbers do not reach match The above reach random numbers are associated with each other.

  FIG. 204 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 204, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs the process of FIG. The result of the lottery process of the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the first special symbol, that is, the result of the above-mentioned hit determination process (step S105) is determined. The determination of the lottery process result is performed by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S121).

  If the big hit flag is set, main control MPU 4100a compares the first symbol random number read out in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 203 (B) (step S122). The type of jackpot is determined, and the mode (stopped symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of variation control suspension of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined type of jackpot is determined (step S123).

  As shown in FIG. 203 (B), in the symbol determination table, symbol random numbers (the second per high 2nd probability, 2r high per hour 2n high probability, 15r low per chance time 15r, high per chance 15r high) The first symbol random number, the second symbol random number) are stored in a form associated with each other. In this example, in the symbol determination table to be compared with the first symbol random number, the 10 types of first symbol random numbers coincide with the 2R high probability non-time per minute, and the 12 types of first symbol random numbers are 2R high probability per time short The first symbol random number is associated so that 39 kinds of first symbol random numbers coincide with the 15R low probability time-short, and 39 kinds of first symbol random numbers coincide with the 15R high probability time-short. Also, in the symbol determination table to be compared with the second symbol random number, the six types of second symbol random numbers match the 2R high probability hourly short, and the 55 types of second symbol random numbers match the 15R low probability hourly, 39 The second symbol random number is associated so that the second symbol random number of the type matches the 15R high probability time-short, and the second symbol random number is not related to the 2R high probability non-time-short. In addition, the second special random number is set to be higher at 15R big hit (especially at 15R low probability time short) than one special random number, and it is set to lower 2R big hit ratio There is. As a result, when the start winning at the second start port 2102 which is likely to occur when the time saving control is being performed occurs, there are more than the case where the start winning at the first start port 2101 occurs. A big hit (in this example, 15R big hit) that can get a winning ball is generated. Then, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the type of the big hit by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number.

  In particular,

  1.15R big hit gaming state controlled to 1515 high hit time control state to the high probability time reduction state until big hit again after the end of the 15R big hit gaming state

  2. 15R big hit game state control, after the end of the 15 R big hit game state said low probability time short until the variable display of the specified number (100 times) of special symbols (first special symbol and second special symbol) is executed Control to the state, and then control to the low probability untimely state (normal state)

  2R high probability time short control to control to 3.2R big hit gaming state, and to control the high probability time short state until big hit again after the end of the 2R big hit gaming state

4.2R big hit gaming state to control, until the big hit again after the end of the 2R big hit gaming state to control the high probability non-time short state 2R high probability non-short time from any of the four types of big hit out of four types of big hit Decide on.

  In addition, in the liquid crystal display device 1400 after the end of the big hit gaming state, it is determined that the effect mode capable of determining that the possibility of being in the high probability state is the highest or the high probability state, the possibility of being in the high probability state is high. A plurality of effect modes such as a possible effect mode, an effect mode capable of determining that the possibility of being in the low probability state is high, and an effect mode capable of determining that the possibility of being in the low probability state is the highest or the low probability state It may be controlled to any one of the effect modes. As a result, even when control is not performed in the high probability state, expectation to the high probability state can be held, and the operation rate can be improved.

  Also, in this example, the probability of winning the normal symbol, the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol, the opening time of the movable piece 2105, etc. are controlled in the same manner in the same mode as the time saving state after the big hit gaming state ends. However, the control contents of the time saving state may be made different depending on the type of the big hit. For example, when it comes to 15R high probability time-short and 2R high probability time-short, control the fluctuation time of the normal symbol executed after the end of the big hit gaming state to 0.3 second, and control it to the first time short state. By controlling the variation time of the normal symbol executed after the end of the big hit gaming state to 1 second, which is longer than the first short time state, when the probability time short hit becomes the short time state, it is more advantageous for the player. It may be controlled to be in the second time-shortening state which is more disadvantageous to the player than the one-time shorting state and the first time-shorting state.

  In addition, the mode at the time of the fluctuation stop of the special symbol and the kind of big hit correspond. Specifically, when it is determined that 15R high probability time per minute, it is determined to be 15R high probability time short pattern as an aspect at the time of the variation stop of the first special symbol, and if it is determined as 15R low probability time per time it is the first When it is decided to the 15R low probability hourly short symbol as the mode at the time of fluctuation stop of special symbol, it is decided to the 2R high probability hourly short pattern as the mode at the time of fluctuation stop of the first special symbol when it is decided to 2R high probability hourly short When it is determined that the 2R high probability non-short time per time, it is determined to the 2R high probability non-time short per time pattern as the mode at the time of the variation stop of the first special symbol (step S123).

  Further, when the small hit flag is set (step S124), the main control MPU 4100a determines the small hit symbol as the mode at the time of the variation stop of the first special symbol (step S125). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S121, it is determined that the first special symbol is out of pattern as the variation stop condition (step S127).

  Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, as the process of step S128, the lottery result such that the lottery result (type of big hit, reach is either out or out) is transmitted to the peripheral substrate 4010 Set the judgment result notification command according to each. And after that, this process is complete | finished when the above-mentioned 1st special symbol process flag is updated so that a process may be transfered to said 1st fluctuation pattern setting process (step S82) as a process of step S129. The peripheral control MPU 4140a is based on the received determination result notification command and the variation pattern command (the first variation pattern command instructing the variation pattern of the first special symbol, the second variation pattern command indicating the variation pattern of the second special symbol) Thus, the display control of the liquid crystal display device 1400 is performed.

  FIG. 205 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 205, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is a big hit flag or a small hit. If the hit flag is set (step S141), a plurality of variation pattern tables (tables selected in the case of 2R high probability time-short, tables selected in the case of 2R high probability non-time-short, 15R high probability time-short Of the table selected in the case of the hit, the table selected in the case of 15R low probability when the short hit, the table selected in the case of the small hit in the type of the hit (first special symbol stop symbol setting process step S123 of A table is selected according to the determined type of big hit or small hit) (step S142), and the reach flag is set. (Step S143), select the fluctuation pattern table at the time of reach and reset the reach flag (step S144), and when neither the big hit flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, normal disconnection (reach effect If it is determined that the operation will not be executed, the fluctuation pattern table at the time of the disconnection is selected (step S145).

  Then, the fluctuation random number is acquired from the random number counter which updates the fluctuation random number, and the fluctuation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the acquired fluctuation random number with the selected fluctuation pattern table (step S146). Then, a first variation pattern command for notifying the peripheral substrate 4010 to start variation display of the first special symbol according to the determined variation pattern is set and the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 641 The variable display of is started (step S147). When the main control MPU 4100a determines the fluctuation pattern, the main control MPU 4100a sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the determined fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S148). As a result, effect control is performed on the first special symbol display 641 and the liquid crystal display device 1400 for the determined fluctuation time.

  In addition, although not shown, a plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided corresponding to determination results based on special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) There is. In addition, in the fluctuation patterns set in each fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for fluctuation display control of the above special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is It is stored in a form associated with each of the variable random numbers. Thus, after selecting the variation pattern table corresponding to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number, the main control MPU 4100a compares the selected table with the acquired variation random number and is associated with the variation random number By acquiring fluctuation time information from this table, the fluctuation pattern of the above special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is determined. Thereby, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 4100a.

  Further, in this example, one of a plurality of effect modes having different display modes (background color, background mode, mode of decorative symbol, etc.) of the liquid crystal display device 1400 after the end of the big hit gaming state and after the small hit gaming state. Control to the production mode of. The effect mode is provided in a plurality of types according to the type of gaming state (high probability time short state, high probability short time state, low probability time short state, low probability short time state (normal state)) and a big hit, The rendering effect is improved by controlling the corresponding rendering mode according to the end of the jackpot gaming state or the like. Specifically, it is executed when the high probability time short state after the end of the 15R high probability time-short and the high probability time-short state after the 2R high probability time-short end is controlled as the effect mode, and controlled to the high probability state It is executed when controlling to high probability decision mode that can be identified, low probability time short status after 15R low probability time per minute end, and high probability time short state after 15R high probability time per minute end. It is executed after the end of the non-confirmed time short mode difficult to determine the control state, high probability non-short state after 2R high probability non-short hit end, and small hit gaming state, and is controlled to high probability state It has a normal mode that can be determined when it is controlled to an undetermined indeterminate short mode that is difficult to determine and in a low probability indeterminate state (normal state), and can be controlled to a low probability state There is. Commands sent from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control ROM 4140b of the peripheral control board 4140 to instruct display contents of the liquid crystal display device 1400 (specifically, fluctuation pattern commands (first fluctuation pattern command, second fluctuation pattern command) A plurality of control programs to be executed corresponding to) are provided for each of the effect modes. Then, when the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a command (a variation pattern command) instructing the display content of the liquid crystal display device 1400 from the main control board 4100, the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a control program of a plurality of types according to the current rendering mode. The display content of the liquid crystal display device 1400 corresponding to the effect mode is controlled by controlling the display of the liquid crystal display device 1400 according to the control program corresponding to the command.

  In addition, although it was comprised so that the said fluctuation | variation random number might be acquired at the time of the fluctuation | variation start of a special symbol in this example, if it is before the fluctuation | variation start, the timing to acquire is not ask | required. For example, the variable random number may be acquired at the start winning combination. Also, after the end of the big hit gaming state is controlled to a predetermined gaming state (for example, if it is a 15R high probability time short hit is controlled to the high probability time short state after the end of the big hit gaming state), but small hit After the end of the gaming state, the previous gaming state is continued to be executed. That is, the small hit gaming state is different from the big hit gaming state in that the small hit gaming state merely gives a chance of winning balls and does not give an advantageous state.

  In addition, when the fluctuation display control of the first special symbol is started, next, as the process of step S149, whether the number of times of fluctuation for executing the time saving control is set or not To judge. Then, if the counter value is not "0", after counting down the time counter (step S150), it is further determined whether the counter value of the simultaneous short counter is "0" (step S151). . As a result, if the same counter value is "0", the time saving end flag indicating that the time saving control is to be ended is set (step S152).

  If it is determined in the process of step S149 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is "0", or if it is determined in the process of step S151 that the time reduction counter is not "0", then Then, the process proceeds to step S153. Then, when the above first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the above first special symbol variation processing (step S83), this processing is ended.

  FIG. 206 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 206, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S171. As a process of (1), the fluctuation timer for which the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the fluctuation pattern is set is decremented by one. Then, if it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the above-mentioned lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process proceeds to the above-mentioned first special symbol stop processing (step S84) in the processing of step S173, this processing is ended.

  FIG. 207 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 207, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S181. The display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing on the first special symbol display 641 as the processing of the first special symbol, and the first special symbol in the liquid crystal display device 1400 A stop display command for instructing derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol according to the stop symbol of is set as the command to the peripheral substrate 4010 (step S182).

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

  Further, when the big hit flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is to be started (step S187). The standby time until the start of the state (the time to display the indication to start the big hit gaming state and the display to make it difficult to determine whether it is 2R big hit or small hit etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S188) . Then, a big hit execution flag indicating that the big hit game state is being executed is set, and if the time short flag is set, the short time flag is reset and if the probability change flag is set, the probability change flag is set. The process is reset (step S189), and when the first special symbol process flag is updated so as to be process transition to the first special symbol normal processing which is an initial value (step S194), this processing is ended. The big hit start command is a command to be transmitted to the peripheral substrate 4010, depending on the type of big hit (15 R high probability time short, 15 R low probability time short, 2 R high probability time short, 2 R high probability hourly short time) It is prepared individually. In step S187, a big hit start command (15 R high probability time short start command, 15 R low according to the type of big hit (15 R high probability time short, 15 R low probability time short, 2 R high probability time short, 2 R high probability short time) The probability time short start command, 2R high probability time short start command, 2R high probability non-time short start command) is set. As a result, the effect of the big hit gaming state according to the type of big hit instructed by the big hit start command is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LED and the speakers 121, 391, and the like.

  Further, when the small hit flag is set (step S190), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a small hit start command indicating start of the small hit gaming state (step S191). The standby time until the start of the small hit gaming state (time for displaying a difficult to determine whether 2R big hit or small hit) is set in the interval timer (step S192). Then, the small hit running flag indicating that the small hit gaming state is being executed is set (step S193), and the process of the first special symbol process flag is shifted to the first special symbol normal processing which is the initial value. (Step S194), this process ends.

  Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral substrate 4010 will be described. FIG. 208 is a flowchart showing a process procedure of control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral substrate 4010 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 208, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral substrate 4010 is performed. Note that interrupts are disabled during this initialization process, and interrupts are enabled after the initialization process. When the initial setting process (step S501) is completed, a loop process of monitoring whether the 16 ms elapsed flag T has been set or not is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 4140a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes 2 ms steady processing. In the 2 ms steady process, a process to count up the 16 ms elapsed monitoring counter (1 ms added to the 16 ms elapsed monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms elapsed monitoring counter becomes 8, that is, 16 ms elapsed. While the flag T is set, processing for resetting (setting to 0) the 16 ms lapse monitoring counter is executed. Thus, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to "1" every 16 ms in 2 ms steady processing, and is normally set (reset) to "0". When the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S502 (16 ms elapsed flag T is "1"), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S504).

  In this 16 ms steady process, a process of controlling the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LEDs 453a, 2114a, 2129a, 2206a, 2430a, 3025a, 3035a, 3043a, the speakers 121, 391, etc. is executed based on the command received from the main control board 4100. Ru. When the 16 ms steady process is completed, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, when the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (16 ms elapsed flag T is "0"), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 209 is a flowchart showing an example of 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the processes of steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process of step S601, the command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the liquid crystal display device 1400 is involved based on the reception of the command (first fluctuation pattern command, second fluctuation pattern command) instructing execution of the fluctuation display transmitted from the main control board 4100. Control processing and control processing for driving the movable decoration unit (upper movable decoration unit 3200, side movable decoration unit 3400, and lower movable decoration unit 3600) are executed.

  Further, in the sound control process of step S603, control processes related to the speakers 121 and 391 are executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, control processes related to the LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 are performed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lighting signal of the LED to the lamp driving board 1460 (the first lamp driving board 3801 and the second lamp driving board 3802) is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  The process of steps S601 to S606 in the 16 ms steady process ends within 16 ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady process to the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process starts immediately after the 16 ms elapses from the start of the 16 ms steady process (the command in step S601 Do not execute (from analysis processing). That is, when 16 ms has elapsed during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapsed flag is set, and after it is determined that the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S502 after the 16 ms steady process is completed, the 16 ms steady process is performed. To start.

  Further, in this embodiment, the random number updating process (step S606) is performed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers, but the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of loop processing in the sub main processing and 16 ms stationary processing.

  FIG. 210 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the pre-determination command reception process executed in the command analysis process (step S601). The peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the preliminary determination command reception process based on the reception of the preliminary determination command in the command analysis process.

  When the peripheral control MPU 4140a starts the preliminary determination command determination process, it determines whether or not the received preliminary determination command indicates the first number of reservations (step S601a), and if it indicates the first number of reservations The first hold counter for counting the first hold count is incremented by 1 (step S601b), and the a priori determination command received in the first hold area corresponding to the first hold counter value in the storage area of the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a The prior determination information notified by is stored (step S601 c). In this example, the maximum value of the first hold counter is four, and a plurality of first hold areas A corresponding to the first hold counter value “1” to a plurality of first hold areas D corresponding to the first hold counter value “4” The first reserved area of When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a first change pattern command indicating that variable display of the first special symbol is to be started in the command analysis process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a subtracts one from the first hold counter, and the first hold area A to the first (1) Shift the stored contents of one reserved area D (Erasing the stored contents of the first reserved area A and moving the stored contents of the first reserved areas B, C, D to the first reserved areas A, B, C) Do. As a result, in the first holding area A to the first holding area D, only the prior determination information relating to the variable display of the first special symbol held is stored.

  If the received prior determination command indicates the second holding number, the second holding counter for counting the second holding number is incremented by 1 (step S601d), and the first of the storage areas of the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a is selected. The prior determination information notified by the received prior determination command is stored in the second suspension area corresponding to the second suspension counter value (step S601e). In this example, the maximum value of the second hold counter is four, and a plurality of second hold areas A corresponding to the second hold counter value “1” to a plurality of second hold areas D corresponding to the second hold counter value “4” Second reserved area is provided. When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a second change pattern command indicating that the variable display of the second special symbol is to be started in the command analysis process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a subtracts one from the second hold counter, and the second hold area A to the second (2) shift the stored contents of the second reserved area D (delete the stored contents of the second reserved area A, and move the stored contents of the second reserved areas B, C, D to the second reserved areas A, B, C) Do. As a result, in the second holding area A to the second holding area D, only the prior determination information related to the variable display of the second special symbol being held is stored.

  FIG. 211 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process (step S602).

  In the effect control process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a selectively executes one of the following five process processes according to the effect process flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the peripheral control MPU 4140a of the peripheral control board 4140. It will be done.

  1. Processing to control the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LED and the speakers 121, 391, etc. based on the command (first fluctuation pattern command, second fluctuation pattern command) instructing the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol analyzed by the above command analysis processing Change production start processing (step S711) which changes the above-mentioned production process flag to a value according to the processing during change production after performing

  2. The elapsed time since the control of the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LEDs and the speakers 121, 391, etc. is started is measured, and processing for controlling the liquid crystal display device 1400, the LEDs, the speakers 121, 391, etc. is performed according to the elapsed time. , During the variable effect process of changing the effect process flag to a value according to the change end process according to the change time corresponding to the change pattern (step S712)

  3. A process for deriving and displaying a predetermined display result is performed based on the reception of a symbol stop command instructing change display stop of a special symbol, and if it is an off, a value corresponding to the change process start process for the above-mentioned presentation process flag If it is a big hit, it is changed to a value according to the big hit rendering process, and if it is a small hit, it is changed to a value according to the small hitting rendering process (step S713).

  4. The liquid crystal display device 1400 performs processing for executing display control in the big hit gaming state based on the reception of the big hit start command instructing the start of the big hit gaming state, and the above-mentioned rendering process when the big hit gaming state is ended. Big hit effect processing which changes the flag to the value which responds to fluctuation production start processing (step S714)

  5. When processing for executing display control in the small hitting gaming state is performed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 based on the reception of the small hitting start command instructing start of the small hitting gaming state, and the small hitting gaming state is ended The small hitting effect processing which changes the above-mentioned production process flag to the value which responds to fluctuation production start processing (step S715)

  The liquid crystal in synchronization with the variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) executed by the special symbol indicator (first special symbol indicator 641, second special symbol indicator 642) by the above processing. The variable display of the decorative symbol is performed on the display device 1400.

[8. Modified example]
As described above, the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is provided with the back plate 2407 (FIGS. 161 and 162) for preventing the game balls supplied on the stage 2410 from dropping off to the rear of the stage 2410. In the example described above for the back plate 2407, a simple transparent plate is used, but a light emitting member such as an LED is disposed around the back plate 2407, and the light of the light emitting member is diffused by the unevenness provided on the back surface of the back plate 2407. Alternatively, a light guide plate may be used as the back plate 2407 that allows a player to visually recognize a predetermined image from the surface side of the back plate 2407 by irregular reflection. The transparency of the light guide plate is substantially equal to that of the transparent plate, and does not interfere with the visual recognition of the liquid crystal display device 1400 located on the back surface side (rear side).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 212, in this example, a plurality of LEDs 2409 are arranged around the light guide plate constituting the back plate 2407 (in the example, above and below in the drawing) and the periphery mounted on the peripheral control board 4140 Based on a command received from the main control board 4100 by the control MPU 4140a, the plurality of LEDs 2409 are turned on in a predetermined mode (emission color) to project light on the side of the back board 2407, thereby providing the back side of the back board 2407 The projected light from the LED 2409 is diffused or irregularly reflected by the fine asperity portion (light guide decoration portion), and the asperity portion can be identified by the color of the projected light. Then, if the uneven portion is widely provided on the back surface of the light guide plate so as to represent a predetermined image (predetermined pattern, message, pattern, etc.), this image can be viewed from the surface side of the back plate 2407. Can be realized. For example, a variation display of a decorative pattern executed based on the reception of a variation pattern command instructing execution of a specific hit variation pattern from the main control board 4100 (executed as a notice effect of a big hit, or a part of reach effect Stop as a display of the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol etc.) and the decorative symbol (execute as a effect to notify that the big hit symbol became a big hit after the big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is stopped and played, or a round effect or a big hit game in a big hit gaming state In the case where the LED 2409 is controlled to emit light in relation to the effect of notifying the end of the state, etc.) and a plurality of LEDs 2409 are turned on as shown in FIG. A light guide effect that can be visually recognized from the surface side of 2407 may be realized. The plurality of LEDs 2409 arranged around the back plate 2407 may use full color LEDs capable of emitting multiple colors, or may use single color LEDs capable of emitting only single colors. Even in the case of using either a single color LED or a full color LED, the player's expectation for the jackpot can be improved by the character “I” being displayed on the back plate 2407, and in the case of using a full color LED. The expectation for the big hit is exposed to the back plate 2407 because the light emission color of the character of the “to” shown on the back plate 2407 can be made different depending on the degree of the possibility of becoming a big hit (so-called big hit expectation). Can be changed depending on the light emission color of the character. The term "fine asperity" means a portion which is not flat on a flat surface and is a minute asperity formed by shaving, shot blasting or embossing technique on the surface of the resin plate. Alternatively, it may be exemplified by a stamper, which is a kind of pressing machine, or a minute unevenness formed by injection molding using a precise mold. Moreover, such unevenness may be provided not only on the back surface of the back plate 2407 but also on the surface (front surface).

  Further, in this example, a plurality of LEDs 2409 are disposed above and below the light guide plate constituting the back plate 2407, and light is incident from the side surface on the upper side and the side surface on the lower side of the back plate 2407. The arrangement position of the LED 2409, that is, the direction in which light is incident on the back plate 2407 is not limited to this. For example, a plurality of LEDs 2409 may be disposed on the left and right sides of the light guide plate constituting the back plate 2407, and light may be made incident from the side surface on the left side and the side surface on the right side of the back plate 2407, A plurality of LEDs 2409 may be arranged to allow light to be incident from all sides of the outer side worthy of the contour of the light guide plate constituting the back plate 2407 so that light can be incident from all around the back plate 2407. In addition, since the light guide plate can change the appearance mode according to the incident direction of light, a plurality of LEDs 2409 are disposed above and below the light guide plate constituting the back plate 2407 When light is made incident from the side surface on the upper side and the side surface on the lower side, and a plurality of LEDs 2409 are arranged on the left and right sides of the light guide plate constituting the back plate 2407, the side surface on the left side of the back plate 2407 And, when light is made incident from the side surface on the right side, different images and the like may be able to be exposed. For example, with respect to the back surface of the back plate 2407, the first unevenness that reflects only light incident from the side surface on the upper side and the side surface on the lower side, and the side surface on the left side and the side surface on the right side When the second unevenness that reflects only light is formed, the first unevenness can form a character of "", and the second unevenness can form a character of "?". In this way, when light is incident from the side surface on the upper side and the side surface on the lower side of the back plate 2407, the character of “I” is exposed by the reflection action of the first unevenness, and the back plate When light is made incident from the side surface on the left side and the side surface on the right side of 2407, the character of “?” Is exposed by the reflection action by the second unevenness, and while it is one light guide plate Since it is possible to display a plurality of images according to the game situation, it is possible to give the player unexpectedness or surprise and improve the interest.

  As described above, the back plate 2407 of this example lights up the LEDs 2409 arranged on the side in a predetermined light emission color, and causes light to be incident from the side surface of the back plate 2407 so that an image showing a predetermined mode is exposed. It can be done. As described above, the pachinko machine 1 is equipped with a plurality of types of LEDs. Therefore, when light of an LED other than the LED 2409 arranged on the side of the back plate 2407 is incident from the side surface of the back plate 2407, the back plate 2407 shows a predetermined mode at a timing different from the timing originally intended to be exposed. The image will be exposed. Therefore, in the present example, light from LEDs 2409 disposed on the side of the back plate 2407 is unlikely to be incident on the side surface of the back plate 2407. Specifically, light is incident on the side not facing the LED 2409, such as the two sides of the back plate 2407 where the LED 2409 is not disposed (does not face the LED 2409) or the side forming the cutout 2407a described later. There are provided means for preventing incident light (for example, plating deposition for blocking incident light, sticking a non-translucent seal, etc.). As a result, it is possible to prevent an image from appearing on the back plate 2407 as a light guide plate at an unintended timing, so that the player does not feel uncomfortable.

  When the back plate 2407 is formed of a light guide plate and an image or the like is exposed on the front surface, the liquid crystal display is performed by setting the distance to the liquid crystal display device 1400 located on the back side (rear) to a predetermined distance. It is possible to execute a three-dimensional effect display with the effect image displayed on the device 1400. However, as shown in FIG. 213 (A), in the above embodiment, the star unit 3240 including the star-shaped rotary ornament 3245 and the star-shaped ornament 3248, and the star unit 3240 ascended (position shown in FIG. 217 (A)). The back plate 2407 is further forward of the star unit 3240 and the main unit 3210 in order to arrange the main unit 3210 which can be moved up and down to the lower position (the position shown in FIG. 217B). Of the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407 becomes wider than necessary, and even if an image etc. is exposed on the back plate 2407, an appropriate three-dimensional effect can not be obtained with the liquid crystal display device 1400. By executing the effect display with a three-dimensional effect by the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the image etc. exposed on the back plate 2407 as intended by the designer There is no possibility. On the other hand, when rear plate 2407 is arranged behind star unit 3240 and main unit 3210 as shown in FIG. 213 (B), the distance between liquid crystal display device 1400 and rear plate 2407 can be freely designed. The space between the star unit 3240 and the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407 becomes wider although the effect display with the three-dimensional effect can be performed, so the star unit 3240 can be moved in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407 The star unit 3240 is floating even if it is operated (the star unit 3240 operates regardless of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 and / or the image etc. displayed on the back plate 2407) Effect image displayed on the star unit 3240 and the liquid crystal display device 1400 or / and the back plate 240. There is a possibility that not run the effect in which there by an image or the like to be exposed to.

  In this example, a star unit 3240 as a movable member, a main unit 3210 as a movable member, and a back plate 2407 as a light guide plate are disposed so as to be able to solve the problems described above. This point will be described in detail below. FIG. 214 is a perspective view of main members constituting the game board of the pachinko machine 1 of the modification including the back plate 2407 having a function as a light guide plate, and is a perspective view seen obliquely from the front. FIG. 216 is an exploded perspective view obliquely viewed from the front in a state in which the back plate of the center part of the pachinko machine 1 of the modified example provided with the back plate 2407 having the function as a light guide plate is removed. FIG. 217 is a perspective view of the main members constituting the game board of the pachinko machine 1 according to the modification including the back plate 2407 having a back and viewed obliquely from the front, and FIG. 217 is a star unit 3240 and a main unit 3210 of this example. FIG. 16 is a schematic view showing the positional relationship between the rear panel 2407 and the liquid crystal display device 1400.

  As shown in FIGS. 214 to 217, the upper movable decorative unit 3200 of this example can be attached to the front unit 2000 in the same manner as the back plate 2407, not to the back unit 3000 attached in the first embodiment. ing. Further, on the upper rear and lower rear of the front unit 2000, there are provided a plurality of LEDs 2409 which can receive light from the side surface on the upper side and the side surface on the lower side of the back plate 2407 having a function as a light guide.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 217A, in this example, the main unit 3210 is disposed between the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407, and the main unit 3210, the star-shaped rotating decoration 3245 and the star-shaped decoration A back plate 2407 is disposed between the two 3248.

  Note that the star unit 3240 and the main unit 3210 have a link mechanism (a first connection portion 3217 (corresponding to the lift arm 3217 in the first embodiment) which does not enter the long hole 3241a and the cutout portion 2407a), and a first connection portion 3217 , And is connected by the second connection portion 3218 (corresponding to the raising and lowering pin 3218 in the first embodiment) which enters the long hole 3241a and the cutout portion 2407a. In the case of using the 2407, when driving the star unit elevating drive motor 3216 provided in the main unit 3210 to lower the star unit 3240, a part of the link mechanism (the second connection portion 3218 in this example) is deep. Abuts against the plate 2407 to move the star unit 3240 from the raised position (the position shown in FIG. 217 (A)) to the lowered position (FIG. 217) In this example, as shown in FIG. 217 (A), it interferes with part of the link mechanism (in this example, the second connection portion 3218) in the back plate 2407. Of the elevation of the star unit 3240 by providing a cutaway portion 2407a having a shape along the movement path of the second connection portion 3218 in the portion (in this example, the portion overlapping the area where the second connection portion 3218 is movable). I try not to disturb.

  Specifically, when moving the star unit 3240 from the up position shown in FIG. 217 (A) to the down position shown in FIG. 217 (B), the second connection portion 3218 of the link mechanism is formed on the back plate 2407 Star unit 3240 (a star-shaped decorative ornament 3245 and a star that is movable (moved) into the excavated portion 2407a and is connected to the second connection portion 3218 as the second connection portion 3218 moves (moves) The decorative object 3248) is moved to the lowered position. The cutout 2407 a formed in the back plate 2407 has a width that is approximately one turn larger than the width of the second connection portion 3218 of the link mechanism inserted by the drive of the star unit elevating drive motor 3216 provided in the main unit 3210. It is formed to have. This makes it possible to avoid contact between the second connection portion 3218 and the back plate 2407 of the link mechanism, and the movement of the second connection portion 3218 becomes smooth, and the star unit 3240 moves smoothly from the raised position to the lowered position accordingly. Will be able to Further, since the contact between the second connection portion 3218 of the link mechanism and the back plate 2407 is avoided, it is possible to prevent the shift of the back plate 2407 due to the contact between the second connection portion 3218 and the back plate 2407.

Thus, when moving the star unit 3240 from the up position shown in FIG. 217 (A) to the down position shown in FIG. 217 (B), the cutout portion 2407a into which the second connection portion 3218 of the link mechanism enters is used as a light guide plate. The back plate 2407 can be disposed close to the star unit 3240 and the main unit 3210 by forming the back plate 2407 on the back plate 2407. As a result, the back plate 2407 or the star unit 3240 (and the main unit 3210) located in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 located at the rear approaches the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407 as a light guide plate. Each of the star units 3240 can realize an effect without a sense of incongruity. That is, regarding the arrangement of the liquid crystal display device 1400, the back plate 2407 as the light guide plate, the star unit 3240 as the movable member, and the main unit 3210 as the drive means for driving the movable member Effects linked with each other can be effectively realized.

  As described above, the back plate 2407 has a function as a light guide plate. Therefore, a plurality of LEDs are arranged on the side of the back plate 2407 (in the present example, above and below the back plate 2407), and the side surface of the back plate 2407 (in the present example, the side surface on the upper side and the side surface on the lower side) By entering light from the above, aspects such as patterns and characters can be exposed as an image. However, in this example, since the cutout portion 2407a is provided in a part of the back plate 2407 which functions as a light guide plate, an image can not be displayed on the cutout portion 2407a. Further, in this example, when the star unit 3240 is located at the rising position, the cutout portion 2407a can be visually recognized from the player. Therefore, in this example, the appearance mode of the cut-out portion 2407a is supplemented (assisted) by the liquid crystal display device 1400 positioned on the back side (rear) of the back plate 2407 as the light guide plate. FIG. 218 shows an example in which the liquid crystal display device 1400 supplements the appearance mode of the portion corresponding to the cut portion 2407 a of the back plate 2407 as the light guide plate. In this example, when the star unit 3240 is located at the elevated position, the cutout portion 2407a is arranged so as to be visible to the player from the surface side (front) of the back plate 2407. However, the star unit 3240 is elevated. Not only when in the position but also when moving from the up position to the down position or from the down position to the up position or when located in the down position may be arranged so as to be difficult for the player to see . In this case, regardless of the position of the star unit 3240, the cutout 2407a is always difficult to see from the player from the surface side (front) of the back plate 2407. Therefore, even if the image is not displayed on the cutout 2407a It does not give a sense of incongruity. Further, in this example, when the star unit 3240 is located at the rising position, the star unit 3240 is located above the back plate 2407 and when the player visually recognizes from the front side (front) of the back plate 2407. Although the star unit 3240 and the back plate 2407 are disposed so as not to completely cover, the star unit 3240 and the back plate 2407 may be disposed so as to partially cover. In this case, regardless of the position of the star unit 3240, it is always difficult for the player to visually recognize part of the back plate 2407 from the front side (front side) of the back plate 2407.

  FIG. 218 shows an image exposed on the back plate 2407 as a light guide plate (FIG. 218 (A)), and an area (cutout portion 2407 a) overlapping the back plate 2407 in which the back plate 2407 can not expose the image in the liquid crystal display device 1400. (FIG. 218 (B)), and the image displayed by the combination of these (the image displayed on the back plate 2407 and the liquid crystal display device 1400) (FIG. 218 (C)). It is a thing. As described above, since the back plate 2407 as the light guide plate has the cut-out portion 2407a which is partially cut off, the image can not be exposed on one surface even when light is incident, and the cut-out portion 2407a An image is not displayed on the corresponding part (FIG. 218 (A)). Therefore, the appearance mode of the back plate 2407 becomes an incomplete mode without a part of it being exposed (FIG. 218 (A)).

  In this embodiment, the liquid crystal display device 1400 is configured to display a portion that can not be exposed by the cutting portion 2407a in the aspect exposed to the back plate 2407 (FIG. 218 (B)). That is, the peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the light emission of the LED 2409 based on the command received from the main control substrate 4100, and in the area overlapping the cutout portion 2407a of the back plate 2407 in the liquid crystal display device 1400 in synchronization with the light emission of the LED 2409. Normally, the aspect to be displayed on the portion corresponding to the cut-out portion 2407a of the back plate 2407 is displayed, and the aspect displayed on the back plate 2407 is complemented by the mode displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400. ing. As described above, in the present example, since the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407 are disposed close to each other, the aspect and the back plate 2407 which are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1400 and complement the appearance of the back plate 2407 In the embodiment, the aspect shown in FIG. As described above, by providing the cutaway portion 2407a in a part of the back plate 2407 as a light guide plate, even if a part of the aspect exposed on the back plate 2407 is incomplete, it is on the back side (rear) Complementing with the display of the liquid crystal display device 1400 located can make it possible to reveal a complete mode, and to make the player feel no sense of discomfort.

  In addition, although the liquid crystal display device 1400 shown in FIG. 218 (B) shows only an aspect which complements the appearance of the back plate 2407, game effects such as variable display of a decorative symbol are actually executed. And, only the game effect such as the variation display of the decorative symbol is displayed on the portion not overlapping with the cutout portion 2407a of the liquid crystal display device 1400, but the back plate 2407 disposed in front of the liquid crystal display device 1400 Since the mode is exposed, it appears to the player that the image displayed on the back board 2407 and the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 2407 are displayed overlapping (combined). Therefore, the lower layer of the liquid crystal display 1400 does not only complement the aspect in which the back plate 2407 actually appears but the portion overlapping the cutout portion 2407 a of the liquid crystal display device 1400 as the lower layer in the aspect The game effects such as the variation display of the decorative symbol are also displayed in duplicate. As a result, an integral aspect can be displayed by the liquid crystal display device 1400 and the back plate 2407, and the player can be prevented from feeling discomfort.

  In the above-described embodiment, the star unit 3240 provided with the star-shaped rotary decorative body 3245 and the left and right star-shaped decorative bodies 3240 is placed in front of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1400 and has a transparent plate-like back plate 2407 having light transparency.
