In addition, the support hook 20c formed in the support projection 20b is bent in a V shape so as to be inclined from the side on the opposite side (right side) where the hanging wall 20e is not formed (right side) toward the center of the tip. In addition, the width dimension of the inclined hole portion of the support weir 20c is slightly larger than the diameter of the pivot pin 633.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, in the wiring holding member 197, the binding band 198 is inserted into the penetrating holding holes 197a arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the wiring 196 is held by the binding band 198.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor, and when the handle main body 504 (the handle device 500) is rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is rotated via the shaft member 510 and the transmission gear 511. The detection shaft 512a is to be rotated. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes in accordance with the rotation angle of the detection shaft 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the bat firing device 650 described later changes in accordance with the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512. Then, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a firing intensity corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500. Therefore, when the handle main body 504 is turned so that the firing strength is equal to or more than the predetermined value, the gaming balls fired toward the game area 1100 reach the right area to the right of the center character 2500 and this right area Flow down. On the other hand, when the handle main body 504 is turned so that the firing strength becomes smaller than a predetermined value, the gaming ball fired toward the gaming area 1100 flows down the left side area on the left side of the center character 2500. In this manner, it is possible to hit the gaming ball into the right area and the left area by the operation of the player. The ball speed of the gaming ball flowing down the right side area on the right side of the center character 2500 is relatively faster than the ball speed of the gaming ball flowing down the left side area on the left side of the center character 2500. And the game ball which flows down the right side area with relatively fast ball speed becomes possible to be able to win the 2nd starting opening 2102 which it mentions later, the game ball which flows down the left side area with relatively slow ball speed it mentions later Winning of the first starting opening 2101 is possible.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle main body 504 and the front end cover 508 are plated with a conductive material, and when the player contacts the handle main body 504 or the like, the touch sensor 516 detects the contact. Then, when the touch sensor 516 detects the player's touch, when the handle main body 504 is rotated, the rotational drive of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled with the strength according to the rotation, and the game ball is hit It is possible to That is, even if the player tries to hit the game ball by rotating the handle device 500 in some way without touching the handle device 500, the firing solenoid 654 is not driven and the game ball can not be hit, It is possible to prevent the player from playing a game different from the original and reduce the load (burden) associated with the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

  Also, when the player presses the single-shot button 520 while rotating the handle unit 500, the launch stop switch 518 detects the operation of the single-shot button 520, and the launch control unit 4120 (see FIG. 118) The rotational drive can be stopped. As a result, it is possible to temporarily stop the firing of the gaming ball without returning the rotation operation of the handle device 500, and by releasing the pressing operation of the one-shot button 520, the operation before the one-shot button 520 is performed. It is possible to fire the game ball with a hitting strength.

  The steering apparatus 500 according to the present embodiment electrically detects the rotation operation of the steering wheel main body 504 by the rotational position detection sensor 512 and, based on the detection of the rotational position from the rotational position detection sensor 512, Since the rotational drive strength of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled, the handle device 500 provided on the door frame 5 and the hit ball launch device 650 provided on the main body frame 3 as in a conventional pachinko machine are There is no need to provide a mechanical (for example, joint unit) mechanism to be linked to each other when the frame 5 is closed and to be released when the door frame 5 is opened, and the configuration according to the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. While being able to do, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of the trouble in the joint unit, to control the decrease in the player's interest due to the hitting trouble of the game ball It has to be able to bet.

[Fall cover unit]
Next, the fal cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 will be described mainly with reference to FIG. 52 and FIG. FIG. 52 (A) is an exploded perspective view seen from the front of the door cover in an exploded manner, and FIG. 52 (A) is an exploded perspective view taken after the camera (B) disassembled the cover unit. Moreover, FIG. 53 is a front view shown in the state which removed the front cover of the foul cover unit.

  The fal cover unit 540 in the door frame 5 is attached to the rear surface below the game window 101 in the door frame base unit 100, and is fired by a game ball paid out from a prize ball unit 700 described later, or a hit ball firing device 650. The game ball (Fall ball) which has not reached the inside of the game area 1100 despite this is guided to the upper plate 301 and the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300. The fowl cover unit 540 of this example includes a cover base 542 open on the front side and having a flow path of a plurality of gaming balls therein, and a front cover 544 closing the front end of the cover base 542.

  As shown in FIG. 52B, the cover base 542 of the far cover unit 540 communicates with the first ball inlet 542a disposed in the upper right corner and penetrating in the front-rear direction in rear view, and the first ball inlet 542a. A first ball passage 542b extending toward the front end of the cover base 542 to the right in front view, and a second ball inlet 542c disposed outside the first ball inlet 542a (right side in rear view) and larger than the first ball inlet 542a And a second ball passage 542d which is in communication with the second ball inlet 542c and which extends downward and is lowered toward the lower right corner of the front view inside the cover base 542. The first ball inlet 542 a and the second ball inlet 542 c are configured such that the normal ball outlet 774 and the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 in the winning ball unit 700 with the door frame 5 closed to the main frame 3. And are respectively formed at opposite positions. In the second ball passage 542d of the cover base 542, as shown in the figure, the height of the portion extending in the left and right direction along the lower end is about three times the height of the outer diameter of the gaming ball. A housing space 546 capable of housing a predetermined amount of gaming balls is formed.

[Antistatic measure for door frame base board 194]
As described above, the fal cover unit 540 (the transparent polycarbonate molded article) (see FIGS. 52A, 52B and 53) includes the second ball passage 542d and the game ball for guiding the game ball to the lower plate. A storage space 546 for retaining the game ball is formed, and the game ball (metal) passes at a high speed while in contact with the passage wall, so that the game ball and the resin rub against each other to generate static electricity and charge the game ball. Cheap.

  Therefore, at the bottom of the second ball passage 542d, a metal ground rail 554 is provided for removing static electricity of the gaming ball generated by rolling resistance due to rolling of the gaming ball and discharging it to the lower plate. There is. In addition, the fowl cover unit 540 is provided with a plate-like ground fitting 556 covering the right end and the left end of the cover base 542, and the ground fitting 556 at the left end can conduct electricity to the ground rail 554 at the bottom of the fal cover unit 540.

The ball removal member 583 having a and the gaming balls on the partition 583a of the ball removal member 583 are sent one by one to the ball hitting supply port 582a of the back cover and extend in the vertical direction between the front cover 581 and the rear cover 582 A ball feeding member 584 rotatably supported around the axis and a ball feeding solenoid 585 for turning the ball feeding member 584 are provided. In this example, as shown in the figure, the ball feeding member 584 is disposed on the right side of the entrance 581a in a front view, and the ball feeding member 583 is on the left side of the ball feeding member 584 and the ball feeding solenoid 585 is on the right. It is arranged.

  The front cover 581 of the ball feeding unit 580 has an arc-shaped slit 581c formed concentrically with the center of rotation of the ball removing member 583 on the left side of the ball outlet 581b in a front view. An operating rod 583c of a ball removing member 583, which will be described later, is extended forward from 581c. Further, the front cover 581 extends upward from the upper edge of the entrance 581a, and when assembled to the door frame base unit 100, the rear end opening of the ball guiding channel 344b in the upper countersinking base 344 It is formed to close the.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 is a partition portion 583 a that partitions the space between the inlet 581 a and the ball outlet 581 b below the inlet 581 a and the upper surface becomes lower in the direction of the ball feeding member 584. It extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feed member 584 and is bent in a V shape toward the lower center of the ball outlet 581b from the vicinity of the middle in the vertical direction, and the lower end extends around the longitudinally extending direction A pivoting collar portion 583b rotatably supported, a rod-like operating rod 583c projecting forward from an upper end of the pivoting rod portion 583b, and a side surface of the rotating rod portion 583b below the operating rod 583c And a weight 583d projecting to the opposite side to the partition 583a. The operating rod 583c of the ball removing member 583 is formed to project forward through an arc-shaped slit 581c formed in the front cover 581 (see FIG. 58), and the ball feeding opening of the door frame base main body 110 It comes in contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343a of the upper disc ball withdrawal slider 343 in the upper disc ball ejection mechanism 340 of the disc unit 300 via the disc 113.

  Further, the ball feeding member 584 has a blocking portion 584a having a fan shape in plan view with a center on a rotation axis centering on the entrance 581a and the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removing member 583 and extending in the vertical direction. It has a ball holding portion 584b which is recessed in a circular arc shape from the rear end to the rotary shaft side, and a rod-shaped collar portion 584c extending downward from the rear end of the ball holding portion 584b. The blocking portion 584a and the ball holding portion 584b of the ball feeding member 54 are respectively formed within an angle range of about 90 ° around the rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 584b of the ball feeding member 584 is sized to be able to hold one game ball. The ball feeding member 584 rotates around the axis of rotation by moving the collar portion 584c disposed at a position eccentric to the axis of rotation by driving the ball feeding solenoid 585 in the left-right direction. ing.

  In the ball feed member 584, the direction in which the ball holding portion 584b is in communication with the hitting ball supply port 582a at the same time as the blocking portion 584a turns in the direction of the partition portion 583a is the supply position, and the ball holding portion 584b faces in the direction of the partition portion 583a It pivots between the holding position. When the ball feed member 584 is at the supply position, the game balls held by the ball holding portion 584b are supplied from the ball hitting supply port 582a to the ball striking and launching device 650, and the game entered into the partition 583a from the entrance 581a The movement of the ball toward the ball holding portion 584b (ball hitting supply port 582a) is blocked by the blocking portion 584a, and the ball remains on the partition portion 583a. On the other hand, when the ball feed member 584 is rotated to the holding position, the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition 583a, and the ball holding portion 584b has the end portion on the flange portion 584c side closing the hitting supply port 582a. Only one game ball on the partition 583a is held in the ball holding portion 584b.

  Also, the ball feed unit 580 has a ball feed operation rod 586 whose tip is swung in the vertical direction by driving (energization) of a ball feed solenoid 585, and movement of the tip of the ball feed movement rod 586 that is swung in the vertical direction A ball feed crank 587 is provided, which pivots about an axis extending in the direction and rotates the ball feed member 584 about an axis extending in the vertical direction. The ball feed crank 587 is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feed actuating rod 586 and extends in the left and right direction with an engaging portion 587a, and a side engaged with the ball feed actuating rod 586 of the engaging portion 587a. A shaft portion 587b rotatably supported about an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 581 and the rear cover 582, and a ball feeding member 584 extending upward from the shaft portion 587b. And a transmission portion 587c engaged with a rod-like collar portion 584c (see FIG. 60) protruding downward from a position eccentric to the rotation center.

  The ball feed unit 580 of this example transmits the movement of the ball feed actuating rod 586, which is oscillated by the driving of a ball feeding solenoid 585 which advances and retracts in the vertical direction, by a ball feeding actuating rod 586 and a ball feeding crank 587. The 584 can be turned. When the ball feed solenoid 585 is not driven (normal time), the tip of the ball feed operating rod 586 is separated from the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 585 and is pivoted downward. In the state, the ball feed member 584 is at the supply position. Also, when the ball feed solenoid 585 is driven, the tip of the ball feed actuating rod 586 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 585 and is pivoted upward so that the ball feed member 584 pivots to the holding position. It has become. That is, when the ball feed solenoid 585 is driven (ON state), the ball feed member 584 receives one game ball, and when the ball feed solenoid 585 is released (OFF state), the ball feed member 584 receives The game ball is sent (supplied) to the ball hitting device 650 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 585 in the ball feed unit 580 is controlled by the launch control unit 4120 in synchronization with the drive control of the launch solenoid 654.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  According to this fraud prevention member 588, the illegal game ball I with the wire Iw is supplied from the ball feed unit 580 to the ball striking device 650, and the ball striking device 650 causes the illegal game ball I to be played on the game area of the gaming board 4. When driven into the interior 1100, the illegal gaming ball I fired by the striking device 650 moves along the launch rail 660 diagonally to the upper left in front view, and between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 It tries to penetrate into the game area 1100 through. At this time, the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is pulled by the force of the hit game ball I, and unlike the movement trajectory of the illegal game ball I, the wire Iw is a passage of the game ball It will move along the route connecting the shortest distance inside. Therefore, the wire Iw extended from the plate unit 300 through the hitting supply port 582a of the ball feeding unit 580 to the hitting launch device 650 side moves the gaming ball I in the upper left direction (upper right direction in rear view) in front view Then, to move onto the shortest route, the ball is pulled toward the upper right corner of the back surface view of the hitting ball supply port 582a, and is moved into the mounting recess 582b formed in the back view upper right of the ball hitting supply port 582a. And wire rod Iw which moved to the part (inside of attachment recess 582b) which extended to the right by back view of hitting supply port 582a is a cutting part by a pair of inclined parts 588e of fraud prevention member 588 arranged in the position concerned After being guided into 588d, it is further pulled to the right in the rear view by the momentum of the incorrect game ball I.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The inside of the supply passage 741a, the distribution space 741b, the award ball passage 741c, the ball removal passage 741d, etc. of the ball device 740 can be visually recognized, and defects such as a ball clog can be easily found. .

  Next, the full tank branching unit 770 in the winning ball unit 700 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 78, 79 and 83. The full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 is attached to the lower end of the prize ball base 710, and guides the gaming balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball device 740 to the dish unit 300. When the game balls are full on the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300, the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 can be distributed so as to pay out the game balls.

  The full-tan branch unit 770 is fixed to the lower end back surface of the award ball base 710 at the rear end upper portion and a locking portion 770 which is locked to the attachment locking portion 716 of the award ball base 710 substantially at the upper center in the front-rear direction. And a fixing portion 770b. The full tank branch unit 770 is suspended from the rear side of the mounting lock portion 716 by locking the locking portion 770a from the rear side to the mounting locking portion 716 of the winning ball base 710, and the winning ball base 770 By fixing the fixing portion 770b to a predetermined screw 710, the full-tan branch unit 770 can be attached and fixed to the lower end of the winning ball base 710.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Also, the wiring cord 854 is turned back by the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply substrate box 850, and the degree of bending of the wiring cord 854 can be loosened as compared with the case where the standing wall portion 850b is not provided. Unreasonable force can be prevented from acting on the 854 itself, and disconnection of the wiring cord 854 due to the unreasonable force can be prevented from occurring.

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

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

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

  Furthermore, since the connection between the connector terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 is fixed by the fixing means by the locking claw and the locking piece, the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850 b and the wiring cord 854 is Even when a force is applied to the connector terminal 855 in a direction to release the connection with the power supply terminal 853, the connection between the connector terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 can be prevented from being released. The connection between the terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 can be reliably maintained to prevent the occurrence of problems such as contact failure and conduction failure.

  Further, since the protruding portions 850c that project backward are provided at both ends of the rear end where the wiring cord 854 in the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply substrate box 850 is folded back, the wiring cord 854 is folded back in the standing wall portion 850b. Even when sliding along the side, the protruding portions 850c provided at both ends of the side can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and the wiring cord 854 can not be detached from the standing wall portion 850b. A pachinko machine 1 that can be prevented and reliably exerts the above-described effects can be embodied.

  Further, since the wiring cord 854 folded at the standing wall portion 850b is brought closer to the standing wall portion 850b by the wiring guide portion 850d provided in the power supply substrate box 850, the wiring cord 854 is made difficult to be detached from the standing wall portion 850b. While the wire cord 854 is turned back by the standing wall portion 850b, the wiring cord 854 is immediately moved toward the standing wall portion 850b by the wiring guide portion 850d. Thus, a series of operations can be performed continuously, and the assembly process can be simplified to suppress an increase in cost.

  Further, the delivery control board box 860 in the board unit 800 has a thin box-like box base 861 that is wide and open at the rear, and a thin box-like cover that fits inside the box base 861 from the rear And a delivery control substrate 4110 (see FIG. 118) attached to the rear surface of the box base 861 and covered by the cover 862. Further, the payout control board box 860 is provided with a plurality of separation / cutting portions 863 that protrude outward from the left end in rear view and are formed on both the box base 861 and the cover 862. The box base 861 and the cover 862 are fixed by caulking. Thus, in order to separate the box base 861 and the cover 862, the separation and cutting portion 863 can not be separated without being cut off, and the trace thereof is left when the delivery control substrate box 860 is opened. . Therefore, it can be determined whether or not the dispensing control board box 860 has been improperly opened and closed. In this example, the delivery control board box 860 can be opened and closed only once for inspection or the like.

  In the payout control board box 860, an error release switch 860a, a ball removing switch 860b, an inspection output terminal 860c, etc. attached to the payout control board 4110 are faced rearward through the cover 862 (see FIG. 66). ).

The lock device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so that rattling does not occur as compared with the case where the side surface 1001 b is formed.

  Next, the operation of the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 100 and 101. As shown in FIG. 100, as shown in FIG. 100 (A), when the main body frame base 600 (main body frame 3) is closed to the outer frame 2 and the door frame 5 is closed to the main body frame 3. Of the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding wedge 1040 and the door frame 5 in which the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the sliding frame 1050 for main frame are engaged. The hook cover 165 is in a locked state. In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engagement projection 1017 of the engagement cam 1016 pivots in a direction to enter the insertion longitudinal opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The tip end of the first engagement projection piece 1017 engages with the downward engagement hole 1062 of the main frame sliding wedge 1050 to push down the lower hook member 1052 against the biasing force of the spring 1048 and connect it The connecting wire rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 are also pushed down and descended. Thereby, the locked state between the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main frame sliding wedge 1050 is released, and the main frame 3 is pulled out by pulling the main frame 3 to the front side. The frame 2 can be opened.

  In addition, when the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054, 1065 are in a state of being lifted by the biasing force of the spring 1048 (the same raised position as shown in FIG. 100A). Since the upper side of 1065 is inclined downward toward the outer side, the upper side inclined portions of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the closing plates 24 and 25 are forcedly pressed against the outer frame 2. Since it abuts on the lower end, the main frame sliding wedge 1050 descends downward, and the upward claws of the hook portions 1054, 1065 are engaged again with the closing plates 24, 25 and the main frame sliding The wedge 1050 is raised to return to the locked state.

  On the other hand, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the second engagement protrusion 1018 of the engagement cam 1016 pivots in a direction to enter the insertion longitudinal opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The tip end of the two-engaging projecting piece 1018 engages with the rising engagement hole 1045 of the sliding door 1040 for the door frame, and pushes up the sliding door 1040 for the door frame against the biasing force of the spring 1048 and raises it. Therefore, since the hook cover 165 of the door frame 5 and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding wedge 1040 are released from the locked state, the door frame 5 can be released by pulling the door frame 5 to the front side. It can be opened to the main body frame 3.

  When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the biasing force of the spring 1048 (the same position as shown in FIG. 100A). Since the lower side of the hook portion 1041 is inclined upward toward the outside, the lower side inclined portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 is the hook cover 165 by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3. The sliding lid 1040 for the door frame ascends upward by coming into contact with the upper end portion of the door frame, and the downward claw portion of the hook portion 1041 for the door frame and the hook cover 165 are locked again The pivot 1040 descends and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding weir 1040 in this embodiment is formed to have substantially the same length as the entire length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the same as the side surface of the main body frame 3 in the longitudinal direction. A door frame hook portion 1041 which is attached over the entire length and which is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three places of an upper end portion, a central portion and a lower end portion of the door frame sliding wedge 1040 Therefore, it is possible to securely lock the entire length of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 in the vertical direction, and forcefully open the space between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and insert illegal equipment such as a piano wire from the interval. I can not do the act.

  Thus, the lock device 1000 of the door frame 5 of the present embodiment unlocks the lock of the main body frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 by rotating the key inserted in the cylinder lock 1010 in one direction, The locking of the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3 can be released by rotating. In addition, the lock device 1000 of this example performs a fraudulent action such as hooking a piano wire or the like on the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main frame sliding rod 1050 without inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 and lowering the same. Can not be The first of the structures for preventing such fraudulent action is a lock mechanism constituted by the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032, and the second fraud prevention structure is the U-shaped base 1001. The sliding door 1040 for the door frame and the sliding door 1050 for the main frame are housed in the closed space of the above.

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

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

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

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

  Further, since the game panel 1200 is divided into the panel board 1210 and the panel holder 1220, the panel board 1210 whose position such as the obstacle nail or the winning opening changes depending on the model of the pachinko machine 1 is used as a replacement part The panel holder 1220 can be a common part, and by replacing only the panel plate 1210, the pachinko machine 1 can be provided with the game board 4 compatible with various models.

  Further, since a plurality of mounting holes 1228 are provided in advance in the panel holder 1220 in a predetermined arrangement, mounting and fixing positions of various predetermined members such as the back unit 3000 and the like mounted and fixed on the rear surface side of the panel holder 1220 The panel holder 1220 can be a common part of the pachinko machine 1 which does not depend on the model by designing the fixing portions of various members to correspond to the positions of the mounting holes 1228 even if they are at different positions. It has become.

Second Embodiment of Front Component Member
Next, a front component 1110A different from the front component 1110 in the above-described game board 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the game panel 1200, the substrate holder 1160, and the main control board box 1170 in FIGS. 110 and 112, the outer shape of the panel plate 1210 and the inner shape of the through hole 1222 of the panel holder 1220 are the embodiments of FIGS. The configuration is the same as that of the example shown in FIGS. 107 to 109 except for the difference.

  The front component 1110A shown in FIGS. 110 and 111 is different from the above-described front component 1110 in that it has a function display unit 1180 in addition to a part of the inner circumferential shape penetrating in the front-rear direction The points are very different. The other configuration is the same as that of the front component 1110, and the same reference numerals are given and detailed description will be omitted. Further, in the game board 4 using the front component 1110A, the function display unit 1180 is provided in either the front unit 2000 or the back unit 3000 in the game board 4 (in this example, the front unit Prepared for 2000).

  As shown in the figure, the front component 1110A has a frame-like inner circumferential shape extending clockwise in a front view from the out-out guide surface 1115 up to the stop 1114 of the inner rail 1112 and the outer rail 1111. The shape is formed in the same shape as the above-mentioned front component 1110, and the shape from the stopper 1114 to the out-port guiding surface 1115 in the clockwise direction is different from the above-mentioned front component 1110 ing. More specifically, the section from the stopper 1114 to a position immediately above the right sticker sheet sticking portion 1125 disposed immediately below the stopper 1114 is formed in a gentle arc, and from the lower end of the arc to the outlet. It is formed in the shape of a straight line inclined so that the distance up to the guiding surface 1115 is lower toward the out-port guiding surface 1115.

  The front component 1110A of this example can secure the game area 1100 more widely as compared with the above-mentioned front component 1110, and the player can be more entertained by the wide game area 1100. It can be done.

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

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

  As described above, the side crime prevention plate 950 of the main body frame 3 is formed of a metal (for example, aluminum alloy) extrusion type material, and the dimension in the vertical direction is substantially the same as the dimension in the vertical direction of the main body frame base 600 The dimension in the front-rear direction is larger than the dimension in the front-rear direction of the front component 1110 and the game panel 1200 in the game board 4. The side crime prevention plate 950 extends in the vertical direction and extends in the front and rear direction. A plate-like side piece 952a which forms a side of the main body frame 3 and a front end which extends inward in a substantially perpendicular direction (open side) from the front end of the side piece 952a. A piece 952b, a middle piece 952c extending along the front end piece 952b from the side piece 952a so as to form a predetermined amount of clearance on the rear side of the front end piece 952b And a rear end piece 952d. Thus, the front end of the side security plate 950 is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section opening inward (open side) by the front end piece 952 b and the middle piece 952 c.

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

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

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

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

  Furthermore, since the rear end of the side piece 952a of the side crime prevention plate 950 extends rearward of the game panel 1200 of the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952a is tentatively assumed. Even if is destroyed, illegal tools such as a piano wire can not penetrate into the game area 1100 on the front of the game board 4 (game panel 1200) from the rear end of the side piece 952a, and an illegal action is performed. Can be reliably prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 112, since the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact so as to cover the outside of the side crime prevention plate 950, it is a pachinko machine 1 having a rigid side, from the side It is possible to sufficiently fight against the vandalism of Also, in general, in the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the side of the pachinko machine 1 is inserted and fixed in the frame of the island facility for installing the pachinko machine 1. From the (front) side, it is almost impossible to allow the unauthorized tool to enter behind the rear end of the middle piece 952c, and the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is further enhanced.

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

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

[Detailed configuration of the game board]
Subsequently, the detailed configuration of the game board 4 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 114 to 117. FIG. 114 is a front view of the game board in the pachinko machine, and FIG. 115 is a perspective view of the game board as viewed obliquely from the upper right front. Further, FIG. 116 is a perspective view of the game board as viewed from the rear, and FIG. 117 is disassembled into main members constituting the game board (however, the center character 2500 is not shown) and obliquely viewed from behind. It is the seen perspective view.

  The game board 4 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment has an outer rail 1111 and an inner rail 1112, and the game ball (also simply referred to as a “ball”) as a game medium when the player operates the handle device 500. A frame-shaped front component 1110A, which partitions and forms the inner periphery of the game area 1100 to be driven, and a plate-shaped game panel 1200 are provided.

  The game panel 1200 of this example is a plate that can partition the rear end of the game area 1100 whose inner periphery is divided by the front component 1110A, and a transparent panel plate 1210 formed smaller than the front component 1110A. And a frame-like panel holder 1220 attached to the rear surface of the front component 1110A and detachably holding the panel plate 1210 from the front side. The opening of the game panel 1200 is formed in a transparent panel plate 1210.

  In addition, the game board 4 has a front unit 2000 attached from the front to the opening of the game panel 1200, a back unit 3000 attached to the back of the game panel 1200 (panel holder 1220), and a front end left end of the back unit 3000 A function display unit 1180 disposed at a position that can be viewed from the player through the transparent panel board 1210 and can be viewed from the game window 101 of the door frame 5 to the player when attached to the pachinko machine 1; A liquid crystal display 1900 having a rectangular display screen (display area) mounted on the back side of the back unit 3000 so as to be visible from the player side and capable of displaying a predetermined effect image, and covers the lower part of the back unit 3000 from the back side Substrate holder 1160 attached to the lower rear surface of the game panel 1200 and the rear surface of the substrate holder 1160 A main control board box 1170 to be attached, and a.

  The front unit 2000 in the game board 4 of this example is a first attack device 2100 disposed immediately above the out port 1151 at the lower part in the play area 1100 and an upper right side of the first attack device 2100 (a lower part of the movable character 2600 ), A gate unit 2300 disposed near the upper right of the liquid crystal display device 1900 in the game area 1100, and a frame-shaped center member disposed substantially in the center of the game area 1100. An object 2500 is provided.

  The first attacker device 2100 includes a first special winning opening 2103, an opening and closing member 2106 having a horizontally long rectangular shape in a front view, and driving means for opening and closing the opening and closing member 2106. Normally, the game ball is closed by the opening and closing member 2106 so that the game ball can not be received in the first large winning opening 2103, and in the big hit game, the opening and closing member 2106 operates to open and close the first large winning opening 2103 It becomes possible to receive the ball.

  The second attachment device 2150 is configured of a second large winning opening 2153, an opening and closing member 2156 which can visually recognize a plate-like thick portion in a front view, and a driving means for driving the opening and closing member 2156 in the front and rear direction. Normally, the game ball is closed by the opening and closing member 2156 so that the game ball is not received in the second large winning opening 2153, and in the big hit game, the opening and closing member 2156 operates to open and close the second large winning hole 2153 It becomes possible to receive the ball.

  In addition, when it becomes a big hit in the special lottery performed based on the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2101, the big hit game which reception of the game ball to the 1st big winning a prize opening 2103 becomes possible is executed And when the jackpot in the special lottery performed based on the reception of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102, the jackpot game that can be accepted the game ball to the second big winning opening 2153 is executed Be done.

  Here, in the big hit game (the big hit game based on the result of the first special lottery) in which the first big winning opening 2103 of the first attack device 2100 is opened, the gaming ball is fired in the form of flowing down the left area In the big hit game (the big hit game based on the result of the second special lottery), the second big winning opening 2153 of the second attack device 2150 is opened, by firing the game ball in the form that the game ball flows down the right area To be done. However, even if you shoot the game ball in the form of flowing down the left side area in the big hit game based on the result of the second special lottery, you will hardly win the second large winning opening 2153, but based on the first special lottery result It is possible to make a prize in the first large winning opening 2103 when the gaming ball is fired in the form of flowing down the right side area in the big hit game.

  In addition, the back unit 3000 in the game board 4 is attached to the back side of the game panel 1200 (panel holder 1220) and the front side is opened and the opening which penetrates the back wall 3010a in the front and back direction of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 A back box 3010 in which a 3010 b is formed, a back front decoration unit 3100 disposed near the front end in the back box 3010, a back up rendering unit 3200 disposed above the opening 3010 b in the back box 3010, and a back box A lower back rendering unit 3400 disposed below the opening 3010 b within the 3010, and a lower right back corner disposed between the lower back rendering unit 3400 and the back front decoration unit 3100 in the front right lower corner of the back box 3010 A presentation unit 3600 is mainly provided. The back front decoration unit 3100 in the back unit 3000 is provided with a function display unit 1180 at a position where it can be viewed from the player side through the transparent panel board 1210.

  In the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900, in addition to the effect image by a character or the like being displayed, it is possible to display, for example, a decorative symbol (corresponding to "812" in FIG. 114) composed of numbers and characters. The decorative symbols are displayed in a corresponding manner during the movement of the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and when the first special symbol and the second special symbol are stopped, in principle (condition that the mode is not the super speed mode described Stop corresponding to these, and displays the lottery result of the first special symbol (the result of the first special lottery) and the lottery result of the second special symbol (the result of the second special lottery). In the following, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the first special lottery and the second special lottery, it may be referred to simply as "special lottery".

  Furthermore, on the rear side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 in the game board 4, a peripheral control board that accommodates a peripheral control board 4010 (see FIG. 118) having a peripheral control unit 4140 and a liquid crystal control unit 4150 will be described later in detail. A box 1910 is provided.

  The game board 4 of this embodiment is a wide area where the game ball can roll sufficiently between the outer periphery of the left side of the center character 2500 and the outer periphery of the game area 1100 (the inner periphery of the front component 1110A) A plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are implanted in a predetermined gauge arrangement on the front surface of the panel plate 1210 in the area on the left side of the center product 2500 in the game area 1100.

  In the game board 4 of this example, when the game ball is hit to the right of the center character 2500 (is hit with a strength higher than a predetermined strength), this game ball is upstream of the stop portion 1114 of the front component 1110A It flows down the right passage 2545 of the center character 2500 from the side. Here, the right passage 2545 has a width allowing game balls to flow one ball at a time, and the game ball having flowed down the right passage 2545 is disposed on the path of the right passage 2545 while maintaining its flow velocity. It is guided to the gate unit 2300. Above the gate unit 2300, four induction nails 2350 for guiding the gaming ball having flowed down the right side passage 2545 to the gate unit 2300 are implanted side by side in a square shape. The game ball flowing down the right side passage 2545 is always guided to the four induction nails 2350, and the flow rate is almost maintained by the four induction nails 2350 with a probability close to 100%. The user is guided to the gate unit 2301. That is, the game ball driven toward the right side area is always guided to the induction nail 2350 in a state where the flow-down speed is not reduced and the flow-down speed is maintained, and very rarely is guided to the gate portion 2301 of the gate unit Although it may not be, most of them are led to the gate unit 2301 at high speed (in the short game state, the second starting opening 2102 is also won at high speed).

  Below the gate unit 2300, a movable character 2600 which can be advanced to the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the result of the special lottery is disposed. On the right side of the movable part 2600, there is formed a straightening passage 2610 in which the gaming balls are rectified by the gaming balls flowing downward one by one.

  A protrusion is formed on the rectifying passage 2610 from the front of the gaming panel 1200 toward the player. The gaming ball flowing down the flow straightening passage 2610 flows down with a velocity higher than a certain speed as compared to the speed flowing down the left region, although the acceleration of the flow down speed is suppressed by contacting the projections. However, since all the game balls flowing down the rectification passage 2610 abut the above-mentioned projections, the flow-down speed of the game balls flowing down the rectification passage 2610 is substantially uniformed, and the adjacent game balls and game balls The intervals are approximately equal.

  For example, in the big hit game in which the second big winning opening performed based on the result of the second special lottery is opened and closed, since the game ball hardly wins the second starting opening 2102 (time saving function is non The game ball flowing down the right side region is led to the straightening passage 2610 because it becomes the operation). The gaming balls flowing down the straightening passage 2610 are guided to the second attack device 2150 via the straightening passage 2650 which inclines downward from right to left. A wall 2655 is erected on the straightening passage 2650 so that the game ball does not fall on the player side. And although not shown, a rib-like protrusion (hereinafter referred to as "wall-side protrusion") extending in the vertical direction is formed at a predetermined interval on the inner side of the wall 2655 (the rectifying passage 2650 side) There is. Also, on the surface of the game panel 1200 facing the wall 2655, two cylindrical protrusions (hereinafter referred to as "panel side protrusions") extending in the vertical direction are formed at predetermined intervals. Here, the wall side projections and the panel side projections are provided so as to be mutually deviated one by one in the left-right direction. More specifically, in front view, there is the first wall side protrusion on the rightmost side, the first panel side protrusion on the left side thereof, and the second wall side protrusion on the left side thereof, the most left side There is a second panel side protrusion.

  Therefore, the gaming ball having flowed down the rectifying passage 2610 first abuts on the first wall-side protrusion. At this time, although the ball speed of the game ball is temporarily reduced, the game ball is accelerated again to the left in front view in a form avoiding the first wall side protrusion, and the game ball moves. Then, the gaming ball then abuts on the first panel side projection. At this time, although the ball speed of the gaming ball is temporarily reduced, it is accelerated again to the left in front view in a form avoiding the first panel side protrusion, and the gaming ball moves. Furthermore, although this gaming ball comes in contact with the second wall-side projection and the ball speed temporarily decreases, it is accelerated again on the left side in front view in a form avoiding the second wall-side projection and the gaming ball is Moving. Furthermore, although this gaming ball abuts on the second panel side projection and the ball speed temporarily decreases, it is accelerated again on the left side in front view in a form avoiding the second panel side projection and the gaming ball Move.

  The second attack device 2150 is disposed below the movable part 2600 (more specifically, to the left of the straightening passage 2650), and the gaming ball having passed the straightening passage 2610 is guided toward the second attacking device 2150 Ru.

  By the way, since the gaming ball flowing down the rectifying passage 2610 alternately abuts on the wall side projection and the panel side projection, it repeatedly moves in a back and forth direction as viewed from the player while repeating deceleration and acceleration of the ball speed. While being guided to the second attack device 2150. That is, the straightening passage 2610 is located immediately in front of the second large winning opening 2153 while causing the game balls flowing downward toward the second attachment device 2150 to flow down the right area at a relatively high ball speed. It can be said that the rectifying passage 2650 is configured to reduce the ball speed of the gaming ball to a ball speed slower than the gaming ball flowing down the left area. Moreover, although the ball speed of the gaming ball is reduced in the rectifying passage 2610, the ball speed of the gaming ball is accelerated again after coming into contact with the second panel side projection formed on the leftmost side. The game ball will be won in the second large winning opening 2153 in a state where is maintained. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 115, in the rectifying passage 2610, while the gaming balls are sequentially supplied to the second large winning opening 2153 as a ball matrix in which the distances between the gaming balls are narrowed at substantially equal intervals, It is possible to make the second big winning opening 2153 win. As a result, it is possible to easily grasp that it is possible to obtain a large number of prize balls simply by confirming such a ball matrix that is waiting for winning to the second entrance 2153. Become.

  In addition, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the flow paths of the gaming balls in a case where the gaming balls are fired toward the right area are put together, they are divided into three patterns. The first pattern is the pattern of the ball flow path in the super speed mode in the short time game state, and most of the game balls fired toward the right side area win the second big winning prize by winning the second big winning opening 2153 This is a pattern in which no gaming balls are present downstream of the mouth 2153. The second pattern is a pattern of the ball flow path in the big hit game in which the second large winning opening 2153 is opened and closed, and is a pattern in which the game ball fired toward the right area wins the second large winning opening 2153 . The third pattern is the ball flow path pattern in the normal speed mode of the time saving game state, and the game ball fired toward the right side area does not win the second large winning opening 2153 (on the opening and closing member 2156 ) To the out port 1151). In the time saving game state, the time saving function (also referred to as the open extension function) is activated, and the winning of the game ball to the second start port 2102 is facilitated.

  In addition, the game area 1100 is provided with a first starting opening 2101 and a second starting opening 2102 from which a predetermined special lottery result is drawn on the occasion of receiving the game ball. The first starting opening 2101 is disposed substantially at the center in the left-right direction of the game area 1100, below the liquid crystal display device 1900 and above the first attachment device 2100.

  The second start port 2102 is disposed below the gate portion 2301 in the gate unit 2300, and in a normal state, is closed by the movable piece 2305 that slides in the front-rear direction, and based on the result of the normal lottery As the movable piece 2305 slides toward the back side, the game ball can be received. That is, the second start port 2102 can not normally receive the game ball, and can receive the game ball based on the result of the regular lottery that is drawn on the occasion of the passage of the game ball to the gate unit 2301. It is considered as a variable winning opening. The gate unit 2301 allows passage of one game ball at a time, and the gate unit 2301 is provided with a gate sensor 2302 for detecting passage of the game ball.

  As described above, the gaming balls flowing down the left side area on the left side of the center role 2500 in the gaming area 1100 are allowed to win the first starting opening 2101, but the gaming balls flowing down the left side area The majority is discharged from the out port 1151. However, in the normal gaming state where neither the probability changing function nor the time saving function is activated nor in the specific effect state described later, even if the game ball is fired toward the right side area, the winning of the second starting opening 2102 is Since it can not be expected, the game is played so that the game ball flows down to the left area.

  However, in the time saving game state, most of the game balls fired toward the right side area do not reach below the liquid crystal display device 1900 provided substantially at the center of the game area, and the right hand above the liquid crystal display device 1900 ( That is, in order to win a high speed in the second starting opening 2102 arranged in the right hand upper part of the game area 1100, the gaming ball is lost on the downstream side of the second starting opening 2102. In other words, as long as the second start opening 2102 is properly paid, many gaming balls are disappointingly disappearing above the right of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and as shown in FIG. 114, the second start opening 2102 The gaming ball is not present downstream of the game ball. Therefore, without directly moving the player's gaze from the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the second starting opening 2102, it is possible to sense the atmosphere whether or not there are many gaming balls in the lower area of the liquid crystal display device 1900. It becomes possible to easily grasp the winning situation and the like at the second start opening 2102, and thereby concentrate on the display related to the symbol variation by the decorative symbol displayed on the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and advantageous game You will be able to entertain.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control MPU 4100a always controls in the probability variation gaming state unless it is won until the special lottery is performed a fixed number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit game is over. Further, the main control MPU 4100a controls the time-saving gaming state until the special lottery is performed the longest number of times after the end of the jackpot game. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is controlled to the probability variation time short game state until the special lottery is performed at the longest after the end of the big hit game. Here, the probability change time short game state refers to a state in which both the probability change function and the time reduction function are activated.

  In this embodiment, although the details will be described later, although the number of times the probability change function is activated after the jackpot game is over (the number of special lottery) is constant, the number of times the time saving function (also referred to as the open extension function) is activated ( The number of special draws is not limited. In addition, as described later, the last five times in the time-saving game state is not a time-saving because it will be a slow mode, in this last five times the function to change the fluctuation time longer than the normal gaming state is activated, In this embodiment, this is also referred to as time saving. Then, when the short time gaming state of up to 100 times is ended without winning the special lottery, the transition to the specific effect state is made. In the special effect state, the probability change function does not operate internally as in the normal gaming state unless a specific condition to be described later is established, but externally, the expectation for winning a special lottery is high compared to the normal gaming state It is in the state where high expectation production like Kano is performed. By providing the specific effect state in this manner, it is possible to reduce discouragement of the player due to the shift to the normal gaming state immediately after the short time gaming state ends. In addition, it is determined whether the above-mentioned specific condition is satisfied, for example, by performing a specific condition satisfaction lottery.

  The specific effect state continues until the special lottery is performed 19 times. Further, although the details will be described later, in the specific effect state, although the probability change function does not operate internally unless the specific conditions described later are satisfied as described above, the state in which the probability change function operates internally when the specific conditions are satisfied Can occur. That is, in the specific effect state, there are a state in which the probability change function is activated and a state in which the probability change function is not activated. However, the time saving function does not operate in the specific effect state. In this specific performance state, it is difficult to externally recognize whether the probability changing function is activated or not activated internally, so it is special whether the probability changing function is activated internally or not. It is possible to give the player a feeling of expectation of winning the lottery.

  In addition, after the big hit game ends, the probability change function may be operated with a probability of 100%, and may be operated with a probability lower than that. Further, the number of times that the probability change function operates and the number of times that the time saving function operate are not limited to a specific number, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate.

  By the way, in the control of time saving game state (time reducing control), the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to "255/255" (per 100%). And, until the special lottery of specified number of times (for example 20 times) is performed among the short game state which is performed 100 times at the longest, it becomes the super speed mode where fluctuation time of the second special symbol becomes extremely short, this super speed mode ends Then, it becomes the normal speed mode in which the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is longer than the super speed mode. The normal speed mode continues until the specified number (for example, 75 times) of the special lottery is performed after the end of the super speed mode. And for the specified number of times (for example, 5 times) immediately before the time saving game state ends, the variation time of the second special symbol is longer than the normal speed mode and is slower than the variation time in the non-time saving game state It becomes a mode. Then, when the slow mode is ended, the time saving game state is ended. In addition, although the super-speed mode is the shortest, then the normal-speed mode is the shortest, and the slow-speed mode is the longest, the variation time of the second special symbol is that the result of the second special lottery is lost is there. However, in all modes or any mode of super speed mode, normal speed mode and slow speed mode, the variation time of the second special symbol is the shortest, super speed mode is the shortest, then normal speed mode is short, and slow speed mode is the longest. It may be determined by lottery so that Thus, when the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is determined by lottery, basically, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is the shortest in the super speed mode, then the normal speed mode is the shortest, and the slow speed mode is the longest. However, in rare cases, for example, it may be determined so that the variation time of the second special symbol in the normal speed mode is shorter than that in the super speed mode. Also, basically, although the fluctuation time in the slow mode is determined to be longer than the fluctuation time in the non-time-short gaming state, the fluctuation in the non-time-short gaming state is rarer than the fluctuation time of the second special symbol in the slow mode It may be decided to increase the time.

  If the big hit game is executed again in any of the super speed mode, the normal speed mode and the slow speed mode, the number of second special lottery in each mode is reset, and the game after the big hit game is over The state is started from the super speed mode. Therefore, for example, in the case of a pachinko machine in which a jackpot game is performed in a manner that makes it difficult for the player to notice a prize ball, such a jackpot game is performed before the player notices It is possible that the number of ultra-speed modes performed up to now is reset and started again from zero.

  Moreover, in the time saving game state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is "0.08 seconds", and the movable piece 2305 is opened after the fluctuation of the normal symbol is stopped (the game ball can be accepted in the second start port 2102 Time to be maintained in the reverse state) is 5.5 seconds. That is, when a game ball passes through the gate portion 2301, a normal hit is always won, and then the passing game ball has a guide route (not shown) which can earn time due to, for example, a recess shape. The game ball that triggered the winning of a normal hit by stopping the variation of the normal symbol in a time (0.08 seconds) shorter than the time to reach the movable area of the movable piece 2305 through the game piece Can be received by the second starting port 2102 as it is. It should be noted that after the movable piece 2305 is maintained in the open state (the retracted state in which the game ball can be received in the second start port 2102) for "5.5 seconds", the movable piece 2305 is closed (in the second start port 2102). The game ball is operated to be in the reverse state where it becomes unacceptable.

  On the other hand, in the non-time-short game state where the time-saving function does not operate, by setting the winning probability of the normal symbol to 0% and setting the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol to a predetermined fluctuation time (for example 5 seconds) The game ball can not be received into the second starting opening 2102. In the non-time-saving gaming state, the winning probability of the normal symbol may be 0% or more, and in this case, the winning probability (for example, 50%) lower than that of the short-time gaming state may be obtained. When it comes to a hit, the movable piece 2305 of the second starting opening 2102 is retracted for a time shorter than the short time gaming state, for example, for 2 seconds, after which it is possible to receive the gaming ball to the second starting opening 2102 again. It may be made to make acceptance of the game ball to the 2nd starting opening 2102 impossible.

  That is, in the non-time-saving game state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is 0%, so even if you hit the right in this case, winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 is impossible or with extremely low probability It will be a prize. Then, after passing through the gate portion 2301, the gaming ball driven to the right of the center prize 2500 in the non-time-saving gaming state is led to the rectifying passage 2610 rather than being received by the second start opening 2102. Become. Therefore, in the non-time-short game state, the game ball is fired at the left side of the center character 2500 so that many game balls win in the first start hole 2101 instead of the second start hole 2102 (so-called " It is advantageous for the player to take a left-handed strike "), even in consideration of the merits and demerits of the bonus when the jackpot is won between the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 side.

  On the other hand, in the time saving game state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is 100%, and the movable piece 2305 of the second starting opening 2102 is further moved backward for a long time (in this example, 5.5 seconds). By doing this, winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 becomes easy. Therefore, in the time-saving game state, the game ball is fired aiming at the right side of the center character 2500 so that many game balls win in the second start hole 2102 instead of the first start hole 2101 (so-called “right It is considered to be advantageous for the player to strike ").

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, the winning probability of the normal symbol in the gaming state (short time gaming state) in which the so-called open extension function is activated is "255/255", but from the normal loss Also, it is not necessary to always win 100% of the normal hits, such as setting with a probability that the normal hits are easily obtained.

  In addition, as the time saving control, control to increase the winning probability of the above normal symbol than the non time saving gaming state, control to shorten the time required for the variable display control of the above normal symbol than the non time saving gaming state, the second starting opening 2102 Control to extend the period to retract the movable piece 2106 more than the non-time short game state, control to increase the number of times to retract the movable piece 2106 of the second starting port 2102 than the non-time short game state, the first special symbol indicator 1185 or any of the controls for shortening the time required for the variable display control of the special symbol in the second special symbol display 1186 (the time required for the variable display control of the decorative symbol in the liquid crystal display device 1900) to be shorter than the non time saving game state One or any combination (or all) may be performed.

  Next, the variation time of the special symbol in each of the super speed mode, the normal speed mode and the slow speed mode will be described.

  In the super speed mode from the end of the jackpot game until the second special lottery is performed, for example, 20 times, when the result of the special lottery for the second special symbol is a loss, the number of reserved second special symbol starts to change Later, when it becomes “0” (ie, when only the suspension starts to change from now on), the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is “5.5 seconds” and the number of reservations of the second special symbol changes When it becomes “1” to “3” after start (that is, when there is a suspension even after the fluctuation is started), the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is extremely short, “0.15 seconds”. However, after the second special symbol is variably displayed over these fluctuation times, a "0.5 second" stop time is provided. Then, when the number of reservations of the second special symbol is “1” to “3”, the time from the start of the fluctuation display of the second special symbol to the start of the next fluctuation display is “0.65 seconds” And, the hold of the second special symbol will be digested at extremely short intervals. Here, since the number of game balls fired per minute for the game area 1100 is 100, a second special lottery is performed for most of the game balls fired for the game area 1100. . In addition, when the result of the special lottery about the second special symbol is a hit, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is set to, for example, a relatively long time of “23 seconds”.

  In the normal speed mode from the end of the super speed mode until the second special lottery is performed 60 times, for example, when the result of the special lottery for the second special symbol is lost, the number of reservations of the second special symbol changes When it becomes “0” after start (ie, when only the suspension starts to change from now on), the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is “12 seconds” and the number of reservations of the second special symbol starts fluctuation Later, when it changes from "1" to "3" (that is, when there is a suspension even after the fluctuation is started), the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is "1.5 seconds", which is shorter than the normal gaming state It is longer than the super-speed mode. However, after the second special symbol is variably displayed over these fluctuation times, a "0.5 second" stop time is provided. In addition, when the result of the special lottery about the second special symbol is a hit, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is set to, for example, a relatively long time of “25 seconds”.

  Furthermore, in the case of a slow mode in which the second special lottery is performed five times, for example, from the end of the normal speed mode to the end of the time saving game state, the result of the special lottery for the second special symbol is lost. When the number of reservations for the second special symbol becomes “0” after the start of fluctuation (that is, only when suspension starts to change from now on), the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is “11 seconds”, and the second special symbol When the number of reservations for the 2 special symbols changes from “1” to “3” after the start of fluctuation (that is, when there is also a suspension after fluctuation has been started), the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is “11 seconds” It is longer than the fast mode. However, after the second special symbol is variably displayed over these fluctuation times, a "0.5 second" stop time is provided. In addition, when the result of the special lottery about the second special symbol is a hit, the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is set to, for example, a relatively long time of “25 seconds”.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the suspension of the second special symbol is prioritized and prioritized over the suspension of the first special symbol, and when the number of suspension of the second special symbol is “0”, “1” Since it is set to be longer than in the case of "3", even if the first special symbol is held, it is difficult to digest the first special symbol held. In the time saving game state, if the result of the special lottery for the first special symbol is a loss, regardless of whether it is the super speed mode or the normal speed mode, the normal fluctuation is performed over a fixed time (for example 11 seconds) It will be.

  In addition, in the normal gaming state (non-deterministic and non-short play state), it is to play a game aiming for a big hit by the special lottery for the first special symbol by so-called left hitting, but in this normal gaming state the first special symbol If the result of the special lottery is a loss, 11 seconds is set as the fluctuation time with the highest selection rate (except for the shortening fluctuation when the so-called number of reservations is a predetermined number or more). The variation time (11 seconds) of the second special symbol of the hour and the variation time (11 seconds) of the first special symbol in the normal gaming state are the same variation time. As described above, although the slow mode is set to be the same variation time as the normal gaming state despite the fact that the short gaming state is strictly changed, the slow mode is, so to speak, the normal gaming state just before the end of the short gaming state. It functions as a break-in period for the purpose, and reduces the discomfort caused by the gap of the fluctuation time when switching from the fast-paced short game state including high speed mode to the normal game state where the drawing of the lottery is slow I have to. The fluctuation time set in the above-mentioned slow mode to reduce such discomfort is equal to (for example, 10 seconds or 12 seconds) or long fluctuation time (for example, the fluctuation time of the loss of the first special symbol in the normal gaming state) 20 seconds).

  As described above, in the super-speed mode in which the second special symbol is stored at high speed, when the game ball is fired toward the right side area of the game area 1100, the flow rate of the flow is maintained while the flow speed is maintained. Every time the high-speed winnings are made one after another continuously at the second starting opening 2102 on the route and the high-speed winnings at the second starting opening 2102, the second special lottery for the suspension based on the high-speed winnings goes continuously one after another It will be digested. As a result, in the super-speed mode, the ball speed of the gaming ball in the game area until winning in the second starting opening 2102 is increased to achieve high-speed winning as well as the digesting speed for the second special lottery. Every time there is a high-speed winning to the second starting opening 2102, the second special lottery is dramatically improved to the extent that high-speed digestion can be made one after another. Therefore, in combination with the apparent speed (ball speed) of the gaming ball flowing down the right area of the gaming area 1100, it is possible to strongly give the impression that the speed of progress of the game is dramatically enhanced. The game full of sense of speed will suppress the decline in the interest of the game.

  In addition, like the pachinko machine 1 in the present embodiment, after the big hit game is over, it is 100% or 100% or less, and there is a probability close to this, and only a certain number of special lottery is performed. In the pachinko machine 1 controlled to the state, when the special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times, the probability variation time short game state ends, and the normal gaming state is controlled. The player who plays a game with such a pachinko machine 1 has a smaller number of remaining times controlled as the short time gaming state (the number of remaining times of the second special lottery when both the probability changing function and the time shortening function are activated) Usually, it is frustrating that there is a possibility that the game will shift to the normal gaming state without the jackpot game being performed. The player's feeling of frustration reduces the monotony of the game in the probability variation time short game state. However, even if the special variation short game state ends when the special lottery is performed a predetermined number of times, immediately after the big hit game is over and the definite variation time short game state is started, it shifts to the normal gaming state without winning the special lottery There is a tendency not to be so aware that it will end (probable change time short game state ends). As described above, it is apt to be a monotonous game while not conscious of transitioning to the normal gaming state without winning a special lottery. In this respect, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described above, after the jackpot game is over, although it is controlled to the probability change time short game state, the second special is limited to a limited period such as 20 times at maximum. It is made to be controlled to the super-speed mode in which the fluctuation time of the symbol (the time when the second special lottery is digested) is extremely shortened. As a result, while reducing the monotony of the game in the odd change time short game state, it is possible to maintain the frustration that can be given to the player when the remaining number of the odd change time short game state decreases, suppressing the decline in interest It is possible to

  Moreover, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the short time gaming state after the end of the big hit game is executed in the order of the super speed mode, the normal speed mode and the slow speed mode, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. The operation may be performed in the order of the fast mode, the superspeed mode, the normal speed mode, and the slow mode. That is, the period (a specific period prior to this starting from the time when the short game state ends) is overrun during a period of frustration that the game will shift to the normal game state without the big hit game being played. It is preferable that the mode is not controlled (the normal speed mode or the slow mode is controlled).

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, it is controlled to be in the super speed mode immediately after the big hit game is over, but in such a pachinko machine, even in the super speed mode after the big hit game is over, It is preferable that the jackpot effect being performed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 during the jackpot game be continuously executed. That is, the peripheral control unit 4140 does not perform display effect indicating that the big hit game is ended even if the big hit game is ended, and the display effect performed during the big hit game is continuously performed even in the super speed mode The control is performed as described above, and control is performed such that a display effect indicating that the jackpot game has ended is performed when shifting from the super speed mode to the normal speed mode. In the superspeed mode, not only the probability of winning the special lottery is enhanced, but also the second special symbol changes in an extremely short time as described above, so the result of the second special lottery can be a big hit during the superspeed mode Sex is high. When the result of the second special lottery in the super speed mode is a big hit, although the big hit game is ended internally, it is difficult in appearance to know that the big hit game is finished. Therefore, also in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the display effect indicating the end of the big hit game is not immediately performed, but this is put on hold, and when the super speed mode is ended, the display effect can be performed to grasp that the big hit game is ended. The display effect in the previous jackpot game is changed to the display effect in the normal gaming state. Thereby, when the result of the second special lottery becomes a big hit in the super speed mode, it is not a conventional big hit game such as 15 rounds, for example, as if a super long big hit game exceeding the prescribed number of rounds was executed While being able to show, it reduces that it becomes a monotonous game which only performs a predetermined game, it can provide a novel pachinko machine which has never been seen before.

  It should be noted that the pachinko machine described above, that is, the display effect during the jackpot game which has been performed so far in the superspeed mode, without performing the display effect indicating that the big hit game is over when the big hit game is over In a pachinko machine that is designed to continue to perform a display effect indicating that the big hit game has ended when the mode is shifted from the super speed mode to the normal speed mode, the super speed mode is ended and the mode is shifted to the normal speed mode. The game state after the game becomes the probability change time short game state in the conventional pachinko machine.

  In addition, the display effect indicating the end of the jackpot game is not performed at the end of the jackpot game, and the display effect during the jackpot game performed so far is continuously performed even in the superspeed mode. In a pachinko machine that is designed to perform a display effect indicating that the big hit game has ended when the transition from the super speed mode to the normal speed mode, it is not always necessary to change the short time game exactly as long as the predetermined number of times after the big hit game is over It is not limited to the one controlled by the state. That is, if it is controlled in the super speed mode only for the specified number of times after the jackpot gaming state ends (except for pachinko machines controlled in the super speed mode long enough to know that the jackpot game has ended) The game may be controlled to a certain short time gaming state until winning a special lottery.

[Liquid crystal display device]
Subsequently, the liquid crystal display device 1900 in the game board 4 of this example will be described. The liquid crystal display device 1900 is detachably attached to the rear surface of the back box 3010 in the back unit 3000, and can display a predetermined effect image according to the game state. As shown in FIG. 117 etc., this liquid crystal display device 1900 is provided with fixing pieces 1902 protruding outward from the left and right sides, and can be attached to the rear side of the back box 3010 through the fixing pieces 1902. ing.

  Specifically, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is inserted from the rear side into the liquid crystal insertion portion 3010 d formed on the rear side of the rear wall 3010 a of the back box 3010, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 protrudes from the right side in front view After the two fixing pieces 1902 are inserted into the two liquid crystal fixing parts 3010 e on the left side of the back box 3010 in the back view, the opposite fixing piece 1902 is inserted into the insertion opening formed by the locking mechanism 3050. The liquid crystal display device 1900 can be locked and attached to the back box 3010 by sliding the lock mechanism 3050 downward and closing the insertion port.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 116 and the like, the liquid crystal display device 1900 includes a peripheral control board box 1910 accommodating the peripheral control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control unit 4150 (see FIG. 118) and the like, and And a volume 1912 extending rearward. By appropriately rotating the volume 1912 in the direction, it is possible to adjust the volume output from the speakers 130, 222, 262 provided in the door frame 5, the lower speakers 821 provided in the main body frame 3, etc. It has become.

  The liquid crystal display device 1900 uses a light brightness white LED as a backlight.

[Various substrates]
Subsequently, a control board for performing various controls of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 118 is a block diagram schematically showing a control configuration of a pachinko machine. As illustrated, the control configuration of the pachinko machine 1 is composed of a group of the main substrate 4000 and a group of the peripheral control substrate 4010, and various control is shared by these two groups. The group of main substrates 4000 is configured to include a main control substrate 4100 that controls a game operation (progress of a game), and a payout control substrate 4110 that controls payout of gaming balls and the like. In addition, the group of peripheral control boards 4010 has a peripheral control unit 4140 that controls various effects in the game based on commands from the main control board 4100 and a liquid crystal display device 1900 based on commands from the peripheral control unit 4140. And a liquid crystal control unit 4150 that controls the display of the effect image.

[Main control board]
As shown in FIG. 118, the main control board 4100 for controlling the progress of the game is a microprocessor that incorporates a ROM that stores various processing programs and various commands, a RAM that temporarily stores data, and the like. A main control I / O port 4100b as an input / output device (I / O device), a main control input circuit 4100f to which detection signals from various detection switches are input, and a main control solenoid for driving various solenoids A drive circuit 4100g and a RAM clear switch 4100c for completely erasing the information stored in the RAM 4100e (hereinafter referred to as "main control built-in RAM 4100e") built in the main control MPU 4100a are provided. . In addition to its built-in ROM 4100 d (hereinafter also referred to as “main control built-in ROM 4100 d”) and main control built-in RAM 4100 e, main control MPU 4100 a monitors a watchdog timer for monitoring its operation (system) and prevents fraud. The function of etc. is also built in.

  The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is a first starting opening sensor 3131 for detecting gaming balls received to the first starting opening 2101, and a second starting opening sensor for detecting gaming balls received to the second starting opening 2102. 3132 and a detection signal from a general winning opening sensor 3133 for detecting gaming balls received to the general winning opening 2201 are respectively input through the main control I / O port 4100 b, a gate sensor 2302, a general winning opening sensor 2123 , Detection signals from the magnetic detection sensor 3134 attached to the count sensor 2122 and the back unit 3000 are input through the panel relay board 3040 attached to the game board 4 and the main control I / O port 4100 b. It is supposed to be.

  The main control MPU 4100a outputs a control signal from the main control I / O port 4100b to the main control solenoid drive circuit 4100g based on these detection signals, whereby the starting port solenoid 2114, the attacker solenoid via the panel relay board 3040. The first special symbol display 1185, the second special symbol display through the main control I / O port 4100b, the panel relay board 3040, and the function display board 1191 1186, the first special symbol memory indicator 1184, the second special symbol memory indicator 1187, the ordinary symbol indicator 1189, the ordinary symbol memory indicator 1188, the game state indicator 1183, the round indicator 1190 or the like, or the like Do.

  In the present embodiment, a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch is used as the first start opening sensor 3131, the second start opening sensor 3132, the gate sensor 2302, and the count sensor 2122. A contact type ON / OFF mechanical switch is used as the general winning opening sensor 2123 3133. This is because the game ball frequently enters the first starting opening 2101 and the second starting opening 2102 and frequently passes through the gate portion 2301, the first starting opening sensor 3131, the second starting opening sensor 3132, and The detection of the game ball by the gate sensor 2302 also frequently occurs. Therefore, proximity switches with a long lifetime are used as the first start opening sensor 3131, the second start opening sensor 3132, and the gate sensor 2302. In addition, when the big hit game state which is advantageous for the player occurs, the big winning opening 2103 is opened and the game ball is frequently entered, so the detection of the game ball by the count sensor 2122 also frequently occurs. Therefore, a proximity switch with a long lifetime is also used as the count sensor 2122. On the other hand, detection by the general winning opening sensors 2123 and 3133 does not frequently occur in the general winning openings 2104 and 2201 where the gaming balls do not enter frequently. For this reason, mechanical switches whose lifetime is shorter than that of the proximity switch are used as the general winning opening sensors 2123 and 3133.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a transmits various information (game information) on gaming and various commands on payout to the payout control board 4110, and receives various commands on the state of the pachinko machine 1 from the payout control board 4110. To Furthermore, the main control MPU 4100a transmits various commands related to control of game effects and various commands related to the state of the pachinko machine 1 to the peripheral control unit 4140 of the peripheral control board 4010 described later via the main control I / O port 4100b. (The boards of the main control board 4100 and the peripheral control unit 4140 are electrically connected by a harness not shown).

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

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

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

Further, one end of a resistor SR7 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor STR2, and the other end of the resistor SR7 is connected to the 0 V line 891.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A varistor SZNR2 for contact protection is connected in parallel between the terminal (one of the B contacts) and the sixth terminal (the other of the B contacts) of the relay SRL1.

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

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

[Operation when a normal voice signal is input] <abnormal voice signal detection circuit 885>
When a normal audio signal (waveform of AC voltage with different peak amplitude) is input, in the rectification bridge circuit of the abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885, in the case of the woofer + signal, the diode SD2 and the diode SD3 conduct. In FIG. 121, current flows from the top to the bottom to the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged in the period from 0 V of the waveform of the + voltage to the peak voltage of the mountain.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[When an abnormal audio signal continues for a predetermined period of time] [Operation when an abnormal audio signal is input due to a fixed DC voltage] <abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885>
When an abnormal audio signal (for example, a constant voltage such as +24 V, +18 V, +1.5 V, etc.) due to a fixed DC voltage is continuously input, in the rectification bridge circuit of the abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885, the diode SD2 and the diode SD3 conducts, and charging current flows from the top to the bottom in the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 in FIG. 121, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 continues to be charged.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Operation when an abnormal audio signal is input due to excessive AC voltage] <abnormal audio signal detection circuit 885>
When an abnormal audio signal due to excessive AC voltage is input, that is, when the audio signal is extremely amplified and an excessive AC voltage exceeding the proper amplification width is input, for example, in the case of a woofer + signal, The diode SD2 and the diode SD3 become conductive, and charging current flows from the top to the bottom of the electrolytic capacitor SC1 through the resistor SR1 in FIG. 121, and the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged in the period from 0 V to the peak voltage of the waveform of + voltage. Be done.

  Also, for example, in the case of the woofer signal, the diode SD1 and the diode SD4 become conductive, and in FIG. 121 the charging current flows from the top to the bottom through the resistor SR1 to the electrolytic capacitor During the period up to the peak voltage, the electrolytic capacitor SC1 is charged.

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

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

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

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

[Liquid crystal control unit]
Next, as shown in FIG. 118, the liquid crystal control unit 4150 for performing drawing control of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 in the peripheral control substrate 4010 includes a liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor and various processing programs A screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, a liquid crystal control ROM 4150b for storing various commands and various data, a VDP (abbreviation of Video Display Processor) 4150c for displaying and controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the second liquid crystal display device 3252 described above The character ROM 4150 d stores various data, and the character RAM 4150 e to which various data stored in the character ROM 4150 d are transferred and copied.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a incorporates a parallel I / O port, a serial I / O port, etc., and controls the VDP 4150c based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 4140 to The drawing control of the two liquid crystal display device 3252 is performed. When the liquid crystal control MPU 4150 a operates normally, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150 a outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 4140. The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a receives an in-execution signal, which will be described later, from the VDP 4150c, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the in-execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[Control processing on the main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (in particular, the main control MPU 4100a) will be described with reference to FIGS. 122 to 131. FIG. 122 is a flowchart showing an example of main processing in the main control board. FIG. 123 is a flow chart showing an example of processing upon power failure. FIG. 124 is a flowchart showing an example of the timer interrupt process. FIG. 125 is a flowchart showing an example of the special control process. FIG. 126 is a flowchart showing the starting hole winning process. FIG. 127 is a flowchart of the change start process. FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process. FIG. 129 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the process during variation. FIG. 130 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game start process. FIG. 131 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot gaming process. The timer interrupt process is executed by the main control MPU 4100a mounted on the main control board 4100 at a predetermined timing (every 4 ms in the present embodiment).

[About main processing]
In the main processing, as shown in FIG. 122, when the supply of power to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the main control MPU 4100a executes a power-on process (step S1). In this power-on process, it is determined whether the backup data stored in the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a) is normal (is it a set value at the time of a power failure) or not. For example, it executes processing (return processing at power failure) to return to the state at the time of power failure according to the backup data stored in RAM, clears the RAM if backup data is abnormal, and performs device setting around CPU (normal initialization , Setting of interrupt timing, etc.).

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

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

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

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

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

[About power off process]
Next, as shown in FIG. 123, the power-off occurrence process is a process that is executed when a power failure advance signal is detected in the main process. First, the main control MPU 4100a performs interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt processing is not executed (step S4a). Then, the checksum of the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100a) is calculated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (step S4b). This checksum is used to check whether or not the content of the RAM before the power failure is held at the time of power recovery.

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

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

  In addition, in the special control process of step S14, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are variably displayed on the special symbol display 1185 or 1186 based on the progressing state of the game, or the special electric character (that is, the attacker solenoid 2121 The opening / closing member 2106 for opening / closing the special winning opening 2103 is controlled, and processing for changing the opening / closing state of the special winning opening 2103 is executed.

  In step S15, the normal control process including the lottery process according to the hit of the normal hit which becomes the operation trigger of the movable piece 2305 is executed. In this normal control process, basically, the corresponding process is selectively executed in accordance with the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. In addition, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs the lottery process so that the drive frequency of the movable piece 2305 becomes higher when a specific condition (time-short flag ON) is satisfied after the end of the jackpot gaming state. Is configured to execute (so-called short time state). In this embodiment, the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is shortened only for a predetermined period after the end of the jackpot gaming state, and this is set to a long time also as the operation time when the movable piece 2305 operates. By doing this, it is possible to realize a short time state in which the reception of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 2102 is facilitated more than in the normal state (non-short time state).

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

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

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

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

  Although not shown in FIG. 124, in the timer interruption process, regardless of the gaming state, the receiving unit 2550 (more specifically, the movable valve 2551 fixed to the front end of the movable shaft 2552) is periodically rotated. Also, drive control processing of the receiving drive motor 2558 to be performed is performed.

[About special control processing]
Next, special control processing will be described based on FIG. FIG. 125 is a flowchart showing an example of the special control process.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[About the first and second starting opening winning process]
Next, the first and second starting opening winning process (the process of step S110) will be described based on FIG. FIG. 126 is a flow chart showing an example of the first and second starting hole winning process.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[About change start process]
Next, the fluctuation start process will be described based on FIG. FIG. 127 is a flowchart of an example of the change start process.

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

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

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

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

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

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 127, in the shift process (steps S302 to S310) in the random number storage area, first, the second special symbol display 1186 that is preferentially digested as the process of step S302 It is determined whether the value of the number-of-holds counter (second starting memory number) corresponding to is "0", that is, whether a random number is not stored in the storage area of the second special symbol holding storage means 4224. And as a result, when it is judged that the random number is stored in the storage area of the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 (NO in step S302), the random number regarding the second special symbol is read out from the same storage area It acquires (step S303). That is, as described later, the random number read out in this way (random number for big hit judgment, big hit symbol random number, reach judgment random number, fluctuation display pattern random number), the process for drawing a big hit Processing for setting the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 2106, processing for setting the opening / closing member 2106, etc. The second starting game can be advanced with the ball winning.

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

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

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 127, when it is determined that the random number is not stored in the storage area of the second special symbol hold storage means 4224 in the process of step S302 (YES in step S302), A random number relating to the first special symbol is read out from the storage area of one special symbol hold storage means 4214 and acquired (step S307). That is, as will be described later, the random number read out in this way is the processing for setting the variation pattern of the special symbol, the processing for setting the opening / closing mode of the opening / closing member 2106, and the setting of the gaming state As a result of being provided to such processing, etc., the first start game can be advanced, triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first start port 2101.

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

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

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

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

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

[About variation pattern setting processing]
Next, a variation pattern setting process will be described in which the variation pattern of the special symbol is set based on the result of the lottery (step S315) or the like for the jackpot hit. FIG. 128 is a flowchart showing an example of the variation pattern setting process.

  As shown in FIG. 128, in the variation pattern setting process (step S150) executed when the process flag is "1", the main control MPU 4100a first sets the big hit flag "ON" as the process of step S401. It is determined whether or not As a result, when it is determined that the jackpot flag is "ON" (YES in step S401), the jackpot fluctuation pattern table setting process described later is performed to set the fluctuation pattern when the jackpot is won. The operation is performed (step S402).

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

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

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

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

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

  By the way, the variation pattern set in the variation pattern setting process is transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140 by the command transmission process (step S17) shown in FIG. 124 as a rendering command set in the process of step S411. . Thereby, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the result of the big hit lottery is shown based on the fluctuation pattern indicated by the effect command and the information indicated by the win information command through the control by the peripheral control unit 4140 side. Display effects will be performed.

[About processing during fluctuation]
Next, the during-variation process (step S180) executed when the process flag is "2" will be described. FIG. 129 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the process during variation.

  As shown in FIG. 129, in the process during variation (step S180), the main control MPU 4100a first sets the variation time set in the timer in the process of step S412 (see FIG. 128) as the process of step S501. It is determined whether the time is up. If the fluctuation time set in the timer has not timed up (NO in step S501), the fluctuation processing is ended.

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

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

[About the jackpot game start processing]
Next, the jackpot game start process (step S200) executed when the process flag is "3" will be described. FIG. 130 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot game start process.

  As shown in FIG. 130, in the jackpot game start process (step S200), the main control MPU 4100a starts operation of the condition device as one of the conditions for executing the jackpot game (step S604). . When the time saving function is operating (YES in step S605), the operation of the time saving function is stopped based on the start of the operation of the condition device (step S606). If it is determined in step S605 that the time saving function is not activated (NO in step S605), step S606 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S607.

  In step S 607, it is determined whether or not the result of the special lottery performed on the basis of the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2101 is the jackpot (per first special view). Ru. If it is determined in step S607 that the first special figure is hit (YES in step S607), the number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds), the maximum opening time per round (for example, 30 sec), and the first large winning opening 2103 The maximum winning number (for example, 9 balls) is set (step S608).

  If it is determined in step S607 that the second special figure is not hit (NO in step S607), the jackpot game to be executed this time is the result of the special lottery performed based on the reception of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 It is determined whether or not the jackpot is a big hit (per the second special view) (step S609). If it is determined in step S609 that the second special figure is hit (YES in step S609), the number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds), the maximum opening time per round (for example, 30 sec) and the second large winning opening 2153 The maximum winning number (for example, 9 balls) is set (step S610). After that, the process proceeds to step S611, the processing flag is updated to "4", and the jackpot game start processing is ended.

[About the jackpot game processing]
Next, the jackpot gaming process (step S210) executed when the processing flag is "4" will be described. FIG. 131 is a flowchart showing an example of the jackpot gaming process.

  As shown in FIG. 131, in the jackpot gaming process (step S210), the main control MPU 4100a first performs, as the process of step S801, a winning opening corresponding to the present jackpot game (first big winning opening 2103 or It is determined whether the second large winning opening 2153) is open. When the corresponding special winning opening 2103, 2153 is open (YES in step S801), next, as the process of step S802, the opening time (the elapsed time after opening) of the corresponding special winning opening 2103, 2153 is It is determined whether the open / close operation time limit set in the process of step S608 or step S610 (see FIG. 130) has been reached. As a result, when it is determined that this open / close operation time limit has elapsed (YES in step S802), closing corresponding open / close members 2106, 2156 closes the corresponding special winning opening 2103, 2153 (step S804).

  However, even if it is determined that the set open / close operation restriction time has not yet elapsed in the process of step S802 (NO in step S802), the corresponding special winning opening 2103, 2153 is opened. The number of gaming balls entering the opened special winning opening 2103, 2153 after being played is equal to or more than the upper limit number (for example, nine) set in the process of step S608 or step S610 (see FIG. 130). If it is (YES in step S803), the process shifts to the process of step S804 to close the large winning prize openings 2103 and 2153 being opened. On the other hand, the set open / close operation restriction time has not yet passed (NO in step S802), and the number of game balls entering the corresponding special winning opening 2103, 2153 has also reached the upper limit number. If not (NO in step S803), the corresponding special winning opening 2103, 2153 is maintained in the open state until the condition of step S802 or step S803 is satisfied. Then, when the condition of step S802 or step S803 is satisfied, the jackpot game processing is ended.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S801 that none of the big winning prize openings 2103 is open, the number of times the corresponding big winning prize openings 2103 and 2153 are opened (the number of round games) is the above-mentioned step S608, It is determined whether or not the maximum number of rounds set in the process of step S610 (see FIG. 130) has been reached (step S805). Then, if it has not reached (NO in step S805), the corresponding opening / closing member 2106, 2156 is operated to open the corresponding big winning opening 2103, 2153 (step S806), and the big hit game processing is ended. .

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S805 that the round game has already been performed for the maximum number of rounds, the jackpot is stopped by stopping the operation of the bonus continuous actuation device (a hit with the operation of the condition device And the operation of the opening / closing members 2106 and 2156 performed on the condition that the player has been won) is made into a state in which the operation (big hit game) is disabled. That is, in this case, the main control MPU 4100 a executes the processing of step S 807 to step S 812 to cause the big hit game execution opportunity of the big hit game stored in the RAM of the main control board 4100 (main control MPU 4100 a). The jackpot game processing is ended after setting the gaming state after the jackpot game based on the winning class. Here, the winning type refers to whether or not it is a winning type that operates the probability variation function or the time saving function.

  When it is determined in the process of step S805 that the round game has already been performed for the maximum number of rounds (YES in step S805), first, the big hit flag and the big hit game flag are operated to the OFF state (( Step S807). Thereafter, the probability fluctuation function is activated (step S809), and the time saving function is activated (step S810), and then the process proceeds to step S811. Step S811 is processing to stop the operation of the condition device. When the operation of the condition device is stopped (step S811), the jackpot gaming process is ended when the processing flag is set to "0" (step S812).

  According to such a big hit game process, until it is determined that the round game has reached the maximum round number in the process of step 805, the corresponding big winning opening 2103, 2153 is opened according to the type of the big hit After the mode (step S802, step S803, step S805), the game is repeatedly opened, and as a result, the player can obtain a winning ball according to the type of the jackpot.

[About normal control processing]
FIG. 132 is a flowchart showing the procedure of an example of the normal control process (step S15).

  Now, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2302 is in the on state in the process of step S901 and it is determined that the game ball has passed to the gate unit 2301, as shown in FIG. As the processing of step S902, the main control MPU 4100a first executes gate part passage processing such as acquiring an ordinary random number of an ordinary symbol from a random number counter and storing it in an ordinary symbol hold storage area of the RAM.

  Then, in the normal control process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the normal pattern process flag.

1. Normal symbol normal processing in which the normal random number stored in the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a is read out, and the lottery processing for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol is performed based on the read normal random number (step S903)
2. Normal symbol fluctuation time determination processing in which lottery processing and the like for the fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 based on the common pattern fluctuation random number is performed (step S904)
3. Normal symbol variation processing that stands by until variation display of normal symbols in normal symbol display 1189 is stopped (step S905)
4. The pattern at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol determined based on the result of the lottery process about the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol is stopped the variation display of the normal symbol so that the normal symbol display 1189 is displayed Normal symbol stop processing to make (step S906)
5. When the result of the lottery process for the mode at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol becomes the mode which suggests "per common figure", the movable piece 2305 is slid to the back side of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 2102 Normal electric combination release processing (step S 907) that executes processing to control the acceptance.

  The normal symbol process flag is manipulated to indicate that normal symbol normal processing (step S903) should be performed in the process of initializing data stored in various registers and the main control built-in RAM 4100e.

  FIG. 133 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the gate part passing process (step S902).

  Now, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2302 is in the on state in the process of step S901 and it is determined that the game ball has passed to the gate unit 2301, as shown in FIG. As the processing of step S911, the main control MPU 4100a first acquires the counter value by the normal hold number counter from the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a. And based on this counter value, it is judged whether the number of holdings of a normal symbol is "4" which is the maximum value.

  If it is determined in the process of step S911 that the number of reserved normal symbols is not the maximum value, the processing of the following steps S912 to S914 is performed in order to newly put the variable display control of the normal symbols on hold status. It will be done. That is, first, as the process of step S912, the normal hold number counter is counted up (one added). Next, in the process of step S 913, an ordinary random number and a common drawing fluctuation random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, next, in the process of step S914, each random number acquired in this way is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal hold number counter among the storage areas of the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a.

  However, when it is determined in the process of step S911 that the number of reserved normal symbols is the maximum value, the variation display control of the normal symbols is not newly suspended. That is, by not executing the processing of step S912 to step S914, the variation display control of the normal symbol is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 134 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol normal processing (step S903).

  When the normal control flag indicates that the normal symbol processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 134, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs the normal hold number counter as the processing of step S921. It is judged whether or not there is a variation display control of the normal symbol in the state of suspension based on the counter value by. As a result, when it is determined that there is fluctuation display control of the normal symbol in the state of suspension, the normal symbol stored in the normal symbol suspension storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the processing of step S922 next. The random number stored in the first storage area of the random numbers (for example, ordinary random number, common drawing random number) related to the display mode is read out from the same RAM. Then, next, as the processing of steps S923 and S924, the normal holding number counter is counted down and the display mode at the time of the fluctuation display stop of the normal symbol stored in each storage area of the normal storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. The shift operation is performed in a first-in first-out manner for the random numbers (normal random numbers, common drawing random numbers) relating to the above.

  Specifically, the normal symbol storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and stores the random numbers extracted according to the passage of the gaming ball to the gate unit 2301 in order from the first (first) area Do. Then, when a random number is stored in the n-th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, when the game ball passes through the gate unit 2301, the random number extracted to the n + 1-th (n = 1 to 3) storage area is When the variable display start condition stored based on the random number stored and stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Are moved to the (N-1) -th (N = 2 to 4) -th storage area. As a result, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the normal symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in the order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first).

  Next, if the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is in the time saving state (low probability time short state, positive variation time short gaming state) (step S926), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the time Is selected (step S926), and if the current gaming state is the non-short time state (low probability non-short time state, high probability non-short time state) (step S925), a non-short time per common drawing determination table (not shown) Is selected (step S927), and the selected common drawing determination table is compared with the ordinary random number read out in step S922 of the ordinary symbol normal processing (step S928).

  In addition, the determination table for the common drawing is stored in the ROM 4100 d of the main control MPU 4100 a, and the determination table for the common drawing in the short time to be used when the gaming state is short time (low probability time short state and definite variation short game state); It has a non-time-shorting common drawing hit determination table used when the gaming state is non-time-short (a low probability non-short condition, a high probability non-short condition). Then, in the common time map drawing judgment table referred to for comparison with ordinary random numbers, the judgment corresponds to the common drawing judgment value indicating that all the 255 types of normal random numbers have been selected per common drawing, and the common drawing The above-mentioned ordinary random numbers are associated with each other so as not to be matched with the deviation judgment value which is a deviation. Thus, when time passes, when there is a passage of the game ball to the gate unit 2301, the game is always won per win, and the movable piece 2305 is slid to the back side to play the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 Control of the acceptance of

  In addition, in the non-short time common drawing per-flow judgment table to be referred to for comparison with the normal random numbers, it is possible that all 255 kinds of normal random numbers coincide with the common drawing per-display judgment value indicating that the per common drawing is won. Instead, normal random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the standard deviation judgment value. As described above, in the short time, even if there is passage of the game ball to the gate unit 2301, the movable piece 2305 is slid to the back side so that the second starting opening 2102 because it is not won in the common drawing. There is no possibility to control the reception of gaming balls to. However, as described above, the hit of the normal symbol may be obtained even in the non-short time condition, and in this case, the winning probability (for example, 50%) lower than the short time condition will be the winning result of the normal symbol When you move the movable piece 2305 of the second start opening 2102 for a time shorter than the short time, for example, 2 seconds back to allow reception of the game ball to the second start opening 2102 and then slide it to the front side again The game ball may not be accepted into the second starting opening 2102.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines that the selected common drawing is determined as the common drawing as a result of comparison between the selected common drawing determination table and the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S929) , After setting the flag per common drawing showing that the fluctuation is won per common drawing (step S 930), the common design per symbol as a mode (stop symbol of normal design) at the time of change control stop of the normal symbol On the other hand, if it is determined as a result of comparison between the selected common drawing per judgment table and the ordinary random number read out in step S922 of the ordinary symbol normal processing, the fluctuation control of the ordinary symbol is determined. A common figure as a mode (a stop symbol of a normal symbol) at the time of stop is determined a shift symbol (step S932). After that, when the above-mentioned normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to normal symbol variation time determination processing (step S904) (step S933), this processing is ended.

[Control processing of peripheral control board]
Next, a process performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described. FIG. 135 is a flowchart showing a process procedure of control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 135, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs an initial setting process (step S1001). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM built in the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral control board 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 S1001) is completed, a loop process is started to monitor whether a 16 ms elapsed flag T has been set (step S1002).

  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 S1002 (16 ms elapsed flag T is "1"), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S1003), and then the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S1004).

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process of controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262, etc. is executed based on the command received from the main control board 4100. When the 16 ms steady process is ended, the process returns to step S502 again, and repeats the above-described steps S1003 to S1004 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 at step S1002 (16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 136 is a flow chart showing an example of the 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 S1101 to S1106. In the command analysis process of step S1101, the command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S1102, the control process relating to the liquid crystal display device 1900 is executed based on the reception of the change pattern command transmitted by setting the change pattern (step S411).

  Further, in the sound control process of step S 1103, control processes related to the speakers 130, 222, 262 are executed. In the lamp control process of step S1104, control processes related to the lamp and LED provided in the pachinko machine 1 are executed. In the information output process of step S1105, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the lamp driving board 3041 is executed. In the random number update process of step S1106, a process of updating the random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S1102) is executed.

  The process of steps S1101 to S1106 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 steady process has started (the command from step S1101) Do not execute (from analysis processing). That is, when 16 ms has elapsed during execution of the 16 ms steady processing, only the 16 ms elapsed flag is set, and when it is determined that the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S1102 after the 16 ms steady processing is completed, the 16 ms steady processing To start.

  Further, in this embodiment, the random number updating process (step S1106) is executed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers, but the timing (timing) of 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.

[Game content]
The game contents in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 119 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the main control board. First, the functional configuration relating to the game effect control on the main control board 4100 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 119 and the like. In addition, about the functional structure which concerns on payout of a game ball, it abbreviate | omits. In the main control board 4100 of this example, various game control, effect control, and the like are embodied by executing a predetermined program stored in advance in a ROM (not shown) by the main control MPU 4100a. In this main control board 4100, when the detection signal of the game ball is input from the gate sensor 2302, the ordinary random number generation means 4200 for generating a predetermined ordinary random number which is a lottery result for the ordinary symbol, and the generated ordinary random number In the main control board 4100, an ordinary symbol hold storage unit 4202 temporarily stored according to the conditions of the above and an ordinary symbol variation pattern corresponding to an ordinary random number executed after being stored by the ordinary symbol hold storage unit 4202 The normal symbol display control means for changing and displaying the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 based on the selected normal symbol variation pattern and the normal symbol variation pattern selection means 4204 which is selected from the predetermined normal symbol variation pattern table stored in 4206 and the normal symbol display control means 4206 for displaying the normal symbols displayed on the normal symbol display 1189 The start opening opening / closing control means 4208 which drives the start opening solenoid 2114 to expand the pair of movable pieces 2105 when the random number (normal lottery result) is “normal hit”, and is held and stored in the normal symbol hold storage means 4202 An ordinary symbol storage number display control means 4210 for displaying on the ordinary symbol storage display 1188 as the number of ordinary drawing random numbers as the storage number is provided.

  The normal symbol holding storage unit 4202 described above has a predetermined number (for example, four) of the normal random numbers generated in response to the detection signal of the gaming ball from the gate sensor 2302 while the normal symbol is variably displayed by the normal symbol display control unit 4206 ) And hold the execution of the stored random number until the variable display of the symbol is possible.

  In addition, on the main control board 4100, the first predetermined lottery result for the first special symbol based on the detection signal detected by the first starting opening sensor 3131 by the start winning to the first starting opening 2101 A first special random number generation means 4212 for generating a special random number, and a first special symbol hold storage means 4214 for temporarily storing the first special random number generated in the first special random number generation means 4212 according to a predetermined condition; A predetermined special symbol variation display pattern previously stored in the ROM of the main control board 4100, corresponding to the first special random number corresponding to the first special random number stored on the first special symbol holding storage means 4214 and executed. The first special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216 selected from the table and the first special symbol variation selected by the first special symbol variation pattern selection means 4216 The first special symbol display control means 4218 for variably displaying the first special symbol of the first special symbol display 1185 based on the turn, and the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol hold storage means 4214 A first special symbol storage number display control means 4220 to be displayed on the first special symbol storage display 1184 as the storage number is provided. Although not shown in FIG. 119, the main control board 4100 is further provided with a first jackpot symbol random number generation means and a second jackpot symbol random number generation means. If the first special lottery result is a jackpot, the random number generated by the first jackpot symbol random number generation means is acquired, and the stop symbol of the first special symbol is determined. Similarly, when the second special lottery result is a jackpot, the random number generated by the second jackpot symbol random number generation means is acquired, and the stop symbol of the second special symbol is determined.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When the game ball driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the left side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500, the plurality of obstacle nails or the inclined upper surface of the peripheral wall 2503 causes the center The user is guided to the area on the left side of the character 2500. In addition, when the game ball driven into the upper part of the center character 2500 enters the right side of the highest part of the peripheral wall 2503 of the center character 2500, it is guided to the gate 2301.

  Then, when the gaming ball which has flowed down the area on the right side of the center prize 2500 in the gaming area 1100 enters and passes through the gate unit 2301 of the gate unit 2300 and is detected by the gate sensor 2302, the main based on the detection signal In the control board 4100, the normal random number generation means 4200 generates an ordinary random number as an ordinary lottery result. Then, based on the ordinary random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (the normal symbol display 1189 consisting of one LED emits light alternately in red, green and orange), Normal symbols extracted after a predetermined time (for example, a very short time such as 0.08 seconds) elapse and based on normal random numbers (normal lottery results) are stopped (the normal symbol display 1189 emits light of either red or green) Ru. 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.

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

  In addition, the game ball which has been driven into the game area 1100 and flowed down the left side of the center character 2500 is moved to the center side of the game area 1100 below the center character 2500 by the shelves 2202 and 2203 of the front side unit 2200 It is supposed to be Then, when the game ball is won in the general winning opening 2104, 2201, the starting opening 2101, 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, 2153 arranged below the center role 2500 and the winning is detected by various sensors, Based on the detection signal, the main control board 4100 transmits a predetermined payout command to the payout control board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the winning ball device 740 according to the payout command. The number of game balls according to the winning destination is paid out to the upper plate 301.

  It should be noted that the game balls driven into the game area 1100 are any of the general winning openings 2104 and 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, the first large winning opening 2103 and the second large winning opening 2153. If the player does not win a prize, it is discharged to the lower rear side of the game board 4 from an out port 1151 provided at the lower end in the left-right direction center of the game area 1100. In addition, even if the game ball wins in any of the general winning opening 2104, 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, the first large winning opening 2103 and the second large winning opening 2153 Is discharged to the rear lower side of the game board 4 without being returned into the game area 1100.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the variation display of the special symbol on the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100. On the other hand (see FIG. 119), the variation display of the symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 etc. is performed based on the command according to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the periphery control unit 4140. It is controlled by the unit 4150. In this way, the peripheral control unit 4140 controls the variation display of symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like to which the player pays particular attention. Therefore, some of the lottery results transmitted from the main control board 4100 For one command, a plurality of fluctuation patterns of symbols can be prepared in advance to increase the fluctuation patterns of symbols in the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like. The "big hit game effect image" and the like displayed in the "big hit" game and the like are also controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 and the like, and effect images of various patterns are prepared in advance. As a result, the display pattern of the effect image to be displayed can be increased without increasing the load of the arithmetic processing on the main control board 4100, and the pachinko machine 1 can be made more entertaining to the player and less likely to get bored. It has become.

  Furthermore, one of the purposes of the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment is to increase the number of gaming balls obtainable in one jackpot game more than before, not to mention (2000), In some cases, it is possible to have a loop performance that can be repeatedly executed at a high continuation rate with a jackpot game in which a large number of game balls can be paid out. However, for example, in a game state where it is possible to execute a game under a condition advantageous to a player who operates both the probability variation function and the time reduction function, the payout balls can be paid out per unit time. There is a concern that the performance on the hall side may become excessive as well as the performance may become excessive, and as a result, the interest in the game may increase too much.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, first, in the probability variation time short game state, the second special symbol by facilitating the reception of gaming media to the second starting opening 2102 rather than the first starting opening 2101 The jackpot probability in the high probability state is slightly higher than the jackpot probability in the low probability state ((less than twice the jackpot probability in the low probability state) while promoting that the lottery process on the side is performed It is generally decided to adopt a probability value (for example, less than one-hundredth, etc.) which is considered to be a low probability. More specifically, in the lottery process of the first special symbol, even if the jackpot is won, although the expected value of the quantity less than 500 pieces is paid out, the low probability state and the high probability state In any case, it is limited to adopting a jackpot probability as low as about "one-hundredths", which is far from being enough to pay out such quantities. Also, even in the second special symbol side lottery process, in any of the low probability state and the high probability state, the low jackpot probability (the low jackpot probability of around "one-hundredths" being equal to the first special symbol side ) To adopt. According to such a configuration, even in the case of having loop performance that can be repeatedly executed at a high continuation rate such as 50% exceeding the jackpot game where a large amount of game balls can be paid out, It becomes to be avoided that the disbursed ball performance which can be paid out per unit time becomes excessive.

  However, the jackpot probability in the high probability state is slightly higher than the jackpot probability in the low probability state (less than twice the jackpot probability in the low probability state), generally low In the case of simply adopting a probability value (for example, less than one-hundredth, etc.) as a probability, there may be an excessive delay in playing or rendering when in an advantageous gaming state, which causes the game to There is a concern that interest will decline. However, in the conventional gaming machine, even when the control for facilitating the acceptance of the gaming ball to the starting opening is performed (time reduction state), the specification each time the gaming ball enters the starting opening In many cases, the probability of entering the starting opening was not set so high in order to avoid excessive payout of the winning balls. That is, in this case, the gaming speed can not be made sufficiently high when in the probability variation short game state in the case where the jackpot probability is made the same low probability value in the low probability state and the high probability state. In such a case, it is difficult to suppress the occurrence of an excessive duration in the game or effect when in the advantageous gaming state.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, even when at least one game ball not accepted in the second start opening 2102 is generated despite being driven into the game area 1100, The payout of the specific prize ball every time the game ball is accepted in the second starting opening 2102 is set to “1” so that the total number of the specific prize balls does not exceed the total number of game balls driven into the area 1100 It is decided to carry out suppression control.

  According to such a configuration, it is avoided that the total amount of the starting prize balls to be paid out each time the second starting port 2102 is received (in the second starting port 2102). No matter how high the probability of entering the game ball, the player's ball will not increase due to the payout according to the entering ball). Therefore, even in the time saving state (such as when the odd game time short game state), it is possible to increase the acceptance probability of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 without considering the balance with such a specific prize ball so much become. And by such a high acceptance probability, in the time saving state (such as a probability changing time short game state), the game ball can be received continuously one after another, which makes the game speed faster (more fluctuation time Can be short).

  In this respect, in the pachinko machine 1 according to this embodiment, in order to dramatically improve the acceptance probability of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102 when in the time saving state (such as a probability changing short game state), The second start port 2102 is disposed in the area on the right side of the center character 2500 in the game area 1100. And, on this, when the game balls are continuously hit in the area on the right side of the center character 2500 in the game area 1100, all of those game balls have a firing interval of one another (0.6 seconds) It is decided to adopt the downflow structure sequentially led to the gate unit 2300 while maintaining the

  That is, in the gate unit 2300 according to this embodiment, the game ball that has passed through the gate portion 2301 in the unit 2300 is able to win a prize by making the movable piece 2305 move according to the passage In order to be able to win through the passage from the gate unit 2301 to the second starting opening 2102, the following features are provided.

  First, when it is detected by the gate sensor 2302 that the game ball has passed through the gate portion 2301, the main control board 4100 acquires an ordinary random number based on the information to the effect that there is this detection, and thus acquired. A determination (normal determination) is made as to whether a normal hit is obtained based on the normal random number. Further, the main control board 4100 causes the normal symbol display 1189 to change and display the normal symbol for a predetermined time based on the result of the normal determination. As a result, when it is determined that a normal hit is obtained in the normal determination (when a specific stop display mode appears as a result of changing and displaying the normal pattern for a predetermined time), the main control board 4100 The movable piece 2305 is controlled to slide to the back side so that the second start port 2102 is opened.

  In this respect, the guide passage having a predetermined length in the gate unit 2300 requires a game ball passing through the gate portion 2301 for a substantially uniform time by the structure integrally formed in the unit 2300. The second start port 2102 is always guided to an area that can be received (a movable area of the movable piece 2305). On the other hand, in the time saving state (the game state in which the so-called open extension function is activated), the game ball having passed through the gate unit 2301 reaches the second start port 2102 (during an almost uniform time) The game has passed the gate portion 2301 so that a normal hit can be obtained by the main control board 4100 executing the above-mentioned normal determination, normal symbol variation display, and drive control to open the movable piece 2305, etc. The ball itself is made to be acceptable to the second starting port 2102.

  Incidentally, in the pachinko machine 1 (main control board 4100) according to this embodiment, in the time saving state, the variation time of the normal symbol is always "0.08 seconds", and the symbol of the normal symbol is displayed finalized The time from when the movable piece 2305 is opened to the open state is "0.008 seconds", and the time when the movable piece 2305 is maintained in the open state is "5.5 seconds", The time (interval time) after the movable piece 2305 is changed from the open state to the closed state until the next variation start of the normal symbol (detection of the gaming ball by the gate sensor 2302) is permitted is "0.05 seconds". ing.

  On the other hand, in the gate unit 2300 according to this embodiment, after the game ball passes through the gate portion 2301 (after the normal symbol starts changing), the time until the movable piece 2305 is opened is “0 The unit needs to arrive at the second start port 2102 by taking only .088 seconds (or the time “0.1 second” added with a slight allowance time (for example, “12 ms”)). Such time is secured while trying to miniaturize as 2120.

  As a result, when a hit is obtained in the normal lottery when the time is short, the game ball itself which is the cause of the hit being obtained by the passage of the gate portion 2301 is a guide route in the gate unit 2300. , From the movable area opened by the movable piece 2305 to the second starting port 2102. And since such open state is continued only for a long time of "5.5 seconds", the game ball is 0.6 seconds in the area on the right side of the center character 2500 in the game area 1100. When the game balls are hit at intervals (when 100 game balls are hit one by one sequentially in a minute), those game balls are fired at the second starting opening 2102 through the guide passage member and the gate unit 2300. It becomes possible to be accepted one after another while maintaining the interval (0.6 seconds interval).

  In this respect, in the pachinko machine 1 (main control board 4100) according to this embodiment, in the super-speed mode in the probability variation short game state, the lottery for the second special symbol according to the acceptance to the second start port 2102 If a loss is obtained, the symbol control period (addition time of symbol fluctuation time and symbol stop time) until the next variable display control of the second special symbol being held is started is preceded by Because the game balls are set as described in paragraph 0694 (see paragraph 0694), even if game balls shot at intervals of 0.6 seconds are received one after another in the second starting opening 2102, those game balls draw lots It is made to control that it is discharged without being used for processing.

The symbol control period in the variable display control of the second special symbol in the superspeed mode may be set as follows, unlike the setting (paragraph 0694) described above.
(A) When the number of variable display control (lottery for the second special symbol) of the second special symbol, which is considered to be on hold (number of second special symbol held) is “1”, the hold is released ( As a result of the lottery for the second special symbol being performed based on the number of reservations at this point being "0", if a loss is obtained, the four game balls are started second as a fluctuation time “2.4 seconds” that can be accepted by the mouth 2102 is set, and “0.1 second” is set as the symbol stopping time (time to be fixedly stopped) thereafter.
(B) When the number of variable display control (lottery for the second special symbol) of the second special symbol, which is considered to be on hold (number of second special symbol held) is “2”, the hold is released ( As a result of the lottery for the second special symbol being performed based on the number of reservations at this point being "1", if a loss is obtained, three game balls are started second as a fluctuation time “1.8 seconds” which can be accepted by the mouth 2102 is set, and “0.2 seconds” is set as a stop time of the subsequent symbol.
(C) When the number of variable display controls for the second special symbol (lottery for the second special symbol) that is held on hold (number of held second special symbol) is "3", the hold is released ((3) When a loss is obtained as a result of a lottery for the second special symbol based on the number of reservations held at this time being "2"), when it is added to the stop time of the symbol as a fluctuation time “0.101 seconds” is set so that two game balls can be received by the second starting opening 2102, and “0.5 seconds” is set as the symbol stopping time thereafter.
(D) Hold is released when the number of the second special symbol variation display control (lottery for the second special symbol), which is considered to be on hold, is 4 (the number on the second special symbol hold) (4) As a result of the drawing for the second special symbol based on the number of reservations at this point being "3"), if a loss is obtained, it will be launched at intervals of 0.6 seconds as a fluctuation time Even if the next game ball is continuously received in the second starting opening 2102, the timing of this reception is set to "0.099 seconds" which can be made to come after the end of the symbol variation. In addition, "0.5 seconds" is set as the stop time of the symbol after that.

  That is, according to this setting example, when a loss is obtained when the number of reservations of the second special symbol is “1”, “2”, in order to make the number of reservations of the second special symbol the maximum number. At least the required time is set as the fluctuation time (configuration (a), (b)). Therefore, while the second special symbol is fluctuating, only the game balls necessary to maximize the number of holdings can be received, which basically causes the number of holdings to be maximized. Will be able to play the game. On the other hand, when a loss is obtained when the number of reservations of the second special symbol is "3", "4", the next symbol variation being put on hold by the game holding means is started Within a relatively short time (0.101 seconds, 0.099 seconds) of the symbol control period of the symbol control period (0.601 seconds, 0.599 seconds) until (until suspension is released) The fluctuation state is ended, and after that relatively long time (0.5 seconds) is controlled so that the symbol display is maintained in the stopped state at the time of losing (configuration (HA), (NI )). In particular, according to the above configuration (d), when a loss is obtained as a result of the drawing being made based on the reception of the game ball to the second starting opening 2102, 0.6 is taken as the firing interval of the game ball Since the symbol variation is finished only in a time of less than a second, even if the next game ball hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds is continuously accepted in the second starting opening 2102, the timing of this acceptance is It comes after the end of the symbol change. That is, in this case, in the probability variation time short game state in which the game ball can be received one after another in the second starting opening 2102 successively, whenever there is the acceptance of those game balls, it is as low jackpot probability as in the low probability state. Although there is a second special symbol side lottery will be able to be digested one after another. As a result, in the probability variation time short game state, a long time to a certain extent will be digested by a good tempo game or pattern change (such as rendition) using gaming balls hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds. As a result, even in the case of providing loop performance that can be repeatedly executed at a high continuation rate such as 50% over the jackpot game where a large amount of game balls can be paid out, the game entertainment is appropriate Will be maintained at the level.

  However, as a more specific effect when it is in such a definite variation time short game state, it will be described later, but each time a symbol variation is performed, it is not a thing etc. In addition, it is possible to make a certain amount of long time to be absorbed by making one large effect (for example, one time of moving a pattern, etc., flow by using a plurality of times of symbol variation, etc.) appear. It is important to maintain the appropriate level.

  In addition, according to this setting example, in the symbol control (when the number of reserved second special symbols is "3" and "4") when there is a loss when in the super-speed mode of the probability short time game state, of the symbol control period The fluctuation state is ended in a relatively short time, and the symbol display is maintained in the stopped state at the time of losing, while the fluctuation state is ended in a relatively long time (the fixed stop time is longer than the fluctuation time of the symbol). In this manner, the symbol display is maintained for a long time in the stopped state at the time of losing despite the fact that it is in the symbol control period, so that the lost symbol is as if waiting for new game ball acceptance. In many cases, the gaming ball can be accepted when it is stopped. Therefore, even if the game ball can be received by the second starting port 2102 when the number of reservations is maximum (even if the game ball is ejected without being subjected to the lottery process), The game ball can be made to appear to be subjected to the lottery process.

  In addition, according to this setting example, the game ball is released particularly in the symbol control (the number of reserved second special symbols is “3”, “4”) when there is a loss when the player is in the super-speed mode of the odd game time short game state. The next game ball hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds is released to the second starting opening 2102 by terminating symbol variation only in time (0.101 seconds, 0.099 seconds) less than the interval (0.6 seconds). Even in the case of being accepted continuously, the timing of this acceptance is made to come after the end of the symbol variation. Therefore, even if the game ball can be received by the second starting port 2102 when the number of reservations is maximum (even if the game ball is ejected without being subjected to the lottery process), The game ball can be made to appear to be subjected to the lottery process. In addition, it is as having mentioned above that the effect with a reach is not performed (or it is difficult to be performed) in the symbol change at the time of the loss of the 2nd special symbol in the time saving state (such as probability variation time short game state). Therefore, when the game ball is received in the second start opening 2102, if the lottery result of the second special symbol is a loss, basically the second symbol and the lost symbol of the decorative symbol are derived and displayed immediately.

  Furthermore, according to this setting example, when the number of reservations of the second special symbol is "4" which is the maximum number, until the next symbol variation being held is started (pending is released The symbol control period of (1) is a time (0.599 seconds) less than the firing interval (0.6 seconds) of the game balls. Therefore, even if the game balls shot at intervals of 0.6 seconds are successively received by the second starting opening 2102 when the number of reservations of the second special symbol is the maximum number, those game balls are It will be suppressed that it is discharged | emitted without being provided to a lottery process. In addition, when the number of reservations for the second special symbol drops from the maximum number and becomes “3”, the symbol until the next symbol variation being held is started (until suspension is released) Since the control period is a time (0.601 seconds) slightly longer than the firing interval (0.6 seconds) of the game balls, the generation of the game balls discharged without being subjected to the lottery process is suppressed. While, it becomes possible to be able to make the number of reservations of the second special symbol the maximum number.

  In addition, while it is possible to repeat the symbol variation repeatedly at the fastest speed (the speed each time the game ball is hit), it is also unlikely that the symbol variation will be interrupted, This also suppresses the decline in interest for gaming.

  In addition, about the stop time of the symbol in the symbol control period until the next symbol variation that is in the state of suspension is started (until suspension is canceled), it does not depend on the number of reservations of the second special symbol It may be set in a fixed time (for example, "0.5 seconds").

  According to the second unit 2120 having such a structure, in the time saving state (such as a probability changing time short game state), each time the game ball passes through the gate portion 2105, those game balls are left as they are in the second starting opening 2102 The possibility of being accepted will be held, and thus all of the gaming balls which have passed through the gate section 2105 can be engaged in a jackpot lottery corresponding to the winning of the second starting opening 2102. As a result, even in the case where the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the high probability state is a low probability value with the same degree, in the time saving state (such as probability variation time short gaming state), than in the case of a so-called conventional probability variation state In addition to being able to generate the next jackpot game in a modest time that has been slightly lengthened, it is worth noting that just by continuing to hit the game ball at least until the jackpot is won is a waste of speed. A game with few balls (balls not used for lottery) will be realized.

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

  Subsequently, an example of the effect in the super speed mode in the probability variation time minor gaming state will be described with reference to FIGS. 137 and 138. On the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900, shutter functions 9000L and 9000R covering the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900 are arranged on the game board 4 in the present embodiment. The shutter accessories 9000L and 9000R are provided so as to be able to advance and retract in the left and right direction in the front of the display area according to guide rails disposed along the upper and lower sides of the liquid crystal display device using a motor not shown as a drive source. When driven (standby), it is housed in front of the center character 2500 and the game panel 1200 so that it is difficult to see in front view (the state of FIG. 114), and both shutters 9000L and 9000R are liquid crystal display devices when driven Appearing on the front of 1900, the display area is covered by both shutter members 9000L and 9000R at the maximum advance. The shutter functions 9000L and 9000R are capable of oscillating as shown in FIG. 137 by forward and reverse rotation of the motor at the non-driving position and at the midway position until the maximum advancing position.

  In the present embodiment, the notification of the result of one special lottery in the above-mentioned ultra-speed mode is a normal symbol variation type effect performed in response to one special lottery (a symbol of the symbol stopped after the variation is started) Depending on the aspect, it does not perform the effect to indicate a hit, but hits if the shutter components 9000L and 9000R are closed, and as long as the shutter components 9000L and 9000R are closed, so long as they do not close. It will be performed by achievement type effect. In the present embodiment, the achievement type effect using characters such as shutter characters 9000L and 9000R is adopted, but a display effect such as a predetermined character defeating an enemy character as a achievement condition in liquid crystal display device 1900 is used. Achievement type presentation may be adopted. The point is that any other effect may be adopted as long as it is an effect of hitting if a predetermined achievement condition is satisfied.

  And in this embodiment, the above-mentioned achievement type effect is not performed for every change of the special symbol which is digested at the above-mentioned high speed, but as a series of effect which continues through the change concerning 20 times of lottery which the superspeed mode continues. I want to do it. In other words, if loss continues 20 times, it is possible to produce an indication of whether or not the shutter features 9000L and 9000R close in the middle of the super speed mode, but once the shutter features 9000L and 9000R do not close once, the super speed mode is On the other hand, when the player wins in the lottery on the way up to 20 times, the shutter roles 9000L and 9000R are closed to indicate that the jackpot is successful in the case of the fluctuation in which the jackpot was won.

  In this super-speed mode, symbol variation production by a decorative symbol is performed for each variation of the special symbol that is digested at high speed, and when the decorative symbol is stopped for each variation and the lottery result is notified, one lottery ends Since the player is clearly recognized by the stop of the decorative symbol and this is repeated at a high speed, it is possible to strongly give a sense of loss that the advantageous gaming state decreases one after another. In this embodiment, in the super-speed mode, the normal symbol variation type effect described above is not adopted, and in order to adopt the achievement type effect of hitting if the shutter role members 9000L and 9000R are closed, the appearance is one time It is difficult to feel the end of the lottery (division of fluctuation), and it is possible to reduce the sense of loss that advantageous gaming states decrease one after another.

  In the present embodiment, although it is assumed that the normal symbol variation type effect by the decorative symbol is not performed, some players want to grasp the number of special lottery performed in the super speed mode. Therefore, for example, if the player is not ordinary, such as a corner of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the player can not grasp or embellish the decoration by displaying a small decorative pattern at a small position. It is preferable that a symbol variation effect of a symbol is performed. In this way, it is possible for a player who wants to know the number of the special lottery performed in the super-speed mode to be able to grasp the approximate number of times of lottery while preventing the player from losing a favorable gaming state. It will be possible to leave

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the super speed mode, the achievement type effect is performed as a series of effects using fluctuation time (fluctuation time for 20 times) according to a plurality of drawing in the super speed mode. In the effect, the variation of the special symbol required for the lottery is shown as the variation effect for one lottery. For this reason, in the short time game state after the end of the jackpot game, if you win the jackpot in the 20 lottery, it is as if the jackpot was won in one lottery (1st rotation) after the end of the jackpot game It is possible to give the player a feeling of jackpot success. In particular, as in the present embodiment, in the superspeed mode, as described above, since the fluctuation is performed one after another in the form close to the firing interval as described above, fluctuation times corresponding to a plurality of lotterys are grouped together into one lottery. Even if such a change effect is produced, the time can be realized without a sense of incongruity without becoming unnecessarily long. In addition, since it is only necessary to make it appear that the number of appearances on the appearance is smaller than the actual number of drawings when the purpose is only to give such a sense of big hit consecutiveness, the achievement type effect described above is adopted. It is also possible to adopt a symbol variation display effect that indicates the lottery result by the variation of the decorative symbol or by stopping without changing the symbol.

  Also, in the above example, while the superspeed mode continues, the lottery for 20 special symbols is shown as if it is a variable effect depending on one lottery, but for example, it corresponds to 5 lottery It may be made to show that it is the fluctuation production concerning one lottery by using the fluctuation time. Also in this case, it is possible to show the number of times of drawing which is originally 20 times in a pseudo manner reduced to 4 times of drawing and it is possible to give an impression that the next big hit has occurred immediately after the big hit game is over . The point is that if one variation effect is performed using a variation time corresponding to a plurality of two or more lotteries, it may appear as if the number of lotteries is artificially smaller than the original number of lotteries by this Because you can, you will be able to increase the sense of consecutive jackpot when you hit the jackpot.

  FIG. 139 is (A) an example of a diagram showing the transition of the gaming state when the specific condition is not established, and (B) an example of the transition of the gaming state when the specific condition is satisfied.

  As shown in FIG. 139, the time saving game state includes an ultra speed mode, a normal speed mode, and a slow speed mode. And, as shown in FIG. 139 (A), in principle (unless a specific condition to be described later is established), until the special lottery is performed a fixed number of times (100 times in this example) after the big hit game is over Is controlled to the time saving game state. Then, the fluctuation related to the specified number of lottery such as 20 times after the end of the big hit game is controlled to the super speed mode, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 draws the specified number (20 times) of the specified number to be the super speed mode. A series of renditions will be displayed throughout the period of the change. When the superspeed mode is ended, the fluctuation related to the fixed number of lottery such as 75 times is controlled to the normal speed mode, and the fluctuation related to the fixed number of lottery such as 5 times is controlled to the slow mode. Then, when the slow mode ends, the time saving game state ends, and the non-time saving game state is controlled. In this embodiment, when the time saving game state ends, it does not immediately shift to the normal gaming state, but shifts to the normal gaming state through the above-mentioned specific effect state. In this specific effect state, the probability change function does not necessarily operate internally as a rule, and therefore the expectation of winning is not increased. However, since the probability change function operates when a specific condition described later is satisfied, In this specific effect state, it is possible to give the player a feeling of expectation of winning in the special lottery. In such a specific effect state, a display effect indicating that the sense of expectation to be won is higher than that in the normal gaming state is the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900 regardless of whether or not the probability change function is internally activated. Since it is carried out in the game mode, it is possible to prevent the player's sense of expectation from being lost immediately even if the time saving game state is over, and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  On the other hand, when the specific condition is established, the main control MPU 4100a controls the time-saving game state after the big hit game is over (number of special lottery) 81 times, 82 times, 83 times, 84 times Times 85 times 86 times 87 times 88 times 89 times 90 times 91 times 92 times 93 times 94 times 95 times 96 times 97 times 98 times 99 times and 100 times Make a time-decision number of lots to decide among them. In this example, the probability of being determined for any number of times is the same in this example, but the probability may be biased so as to be easily determined as the specific number.

  The main control MPU 4100a determines the determined number of times N to be the short time gaming state (super-speed mode (super speed mode), assuming that the number of times determined according to the specific condition is N (81.ltoreq.N.ltoreq.100). Determined as the number of times of control in the normal speed mode and the slow speed mode). Here, since the number of special drawing performed in the normal speed mode and the slow speed mode is constant, it is a difference between the determined number N of time reduction and the number of special drawing performed in the normal speed mode and the slow mode. (N-80) times are determined as the number of special lottery performed in the super speed mode.

  By the way, in the game state after the big hit game is over, the number of times the probability change function is activated (number of special lottery) is always a fixed number of times (100 times in this example) regardless of whether the above specific condition is established. On the other hand, although the number of times the time saving function is activated (number of special drawing) is basically the same as the number of times the probability changing function is activated, it is determined by time lottery with the specific condition established It will be an arbitrary number of times. Therefore, although the probability change function does not operate in the specific effect state when the specific condition is not established, a state in which the probability change function is activated in the specific effect state may occur when the specific condition is satisfied.

  Describing the specific effect state when the specific condition is satisfied, the number of times of operation of the probability changing function (100 times in the present example) and the time saving function in the specific effect state in which the special lottery is performed a fixed number of times (19 times in this example) For (100-N) times, which is the difference from the number of times of operation (N times), the probability changing function is continuously operated internally even after the time saving game state is ended. And after the jackpot gaming state ends and the probability changing function is activated 100 times (after the time reduction gaming state is ended and the probability changing function is activated (100-N) times), the probability changing function is deactivated and the inside The odd change game state ends. Here, if the time reduction number determined by the time reduction number lottery is 81 times, it becomes a probability variation gaming state in which the probability change function is internally operated in the entire period of the specific effect state, and the time reduction number determined by the time reduction number lottery is If it is 100 times, it will be in the non-probability variation gaming state in which the probability variation function does not operate internally in the entire period of the specific effect status. However, it is difficult to grasp whether or not the internal appearance is a probability change gaming state, even if the display effect displayed on the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is seen.

  Thus, while the number of times the number of times the special variation game state is controlled after the big hit game is over (the number of special lottery) is a certain number, the number of times the special game mode is controlled to the short game state (more specifically, the super speed mode) (special lottery However, it is difficult to grasp the operation of the probability change function externally, but the probability change function is internally corrected. Although it does not operate, it is possible to create a state in which it is difficult to grasp the operation of the probability changing function externally. As a result, although the probability change function does not always operate in the specific effect state, although the number of times controlled to the probability change gaming state is a fixed number of times while the specific condition is satisfied, the period controlled in the specific effect state Since the probability change function is activated in a mode that is difficult for the player to grasp during a given period of time, it is possible to execute a surprise jackpot game such that a jackpot game is started at a timing when the player does not expect a jackpot As a result, it is possible to reduce discouragement which can be given to the player by shifting to the normal gaming state immediately after the short time gaming state ends. In particular, even when the specific condition is satisfied, the period during which the probability change function operates in the specific effect state may differ depending on the result of the time-limited number of lottery each time the specific condition is satisfied, so the probability change function operates internally It is possible to enjoy the game in the specific effect state regardless of whether it is present or not. Moreover, as described above, since there is room to be able to grasp the general number of times of the special lottery performed in the super speed mode, it is possible to enjoy the game while predicting the period in which the probability change function operates in the specific effect state. .

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 4140a indicates that the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900 indicates that the peripheral control MPU 4140a is operating when the probability change function is operating internally at any timing in the specific effect state. It is controlled to disclose it through the display effect displayed in. Such disclosure is disclosed, for example, by displaying a particular character that is displayed only when the probability change function is activated. However, the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment in which the probability changing function is internally activated, but may be displayed in a manner indicating the possibility that the probability changing function is internally activated. .

  Disclosure of the fact that the probability changing function is operating internally means, for example, that the probability changing function is activated internally whenever the special lottery is performed on condition that the probability changing function is internally activated. It is possible to perform an internal state disclosure lottery that determines whether or not to disclose, and when it is determined to disclose, it can be performed at the timing of a display effect performed based on the determined special lottery. In the specific effect state of this example, since the period in which the operation of the internal probability variation function continues is concealed externally, even if the fact that the probability variation function is activated is disclosed, the following special lottery Is not necessarily performed with the probability change function activated. As a result, when it is disclosed internally that the probability changing function is activated, the player has an expectation, but the expectation decreases as the game progresses thereafter. Therefore, it is possible to provide a game with a sense of urgency while giving the player a sense of expectation of the jackpot, and it is possible to suppress a drop in interest.

  Note that the timing of internally disclosing that the probability changing function is operating is not limited to the above, and may be determined, for example, when transitioning from the time saving game state to the specific effect state. In this case, it is preferable that the peripheral control MPU 4140a also determines the number of times of disclosure about the operating state of the internal probability variation function, and teaches the number of times of such disclosure, for example, when the specific effect state is started. If the number of disclosures about the operating state of the internal probability change function is high, the player can be excited by that much. However, since the number of times of disclosure about the operating state of the internal probability change function does not affect the bowling rate such as the ease of winning in the special lottery or the continuation rate of the activation of the probability change function, even if internal Even if the number of times of disclosure about the operating state of the probability change function is small, there is an advantage that the interest is not immediately reduced.

  Also, instead of disclosing that the probability changing function is operating internally, whether or not the probability changing function is activated may be disclosed. That is, it may be disclosed including the case where the probability change function is not operating.

  Furthermore, it is preferable to display the number of executions of the special lottery and the remaining number of the time saving gaming state starting from the end of the super speed mode. It should be noted that, under the specific condition, the number of special lottery performed in the super speed mode will be smaller than the prescribed number (100 in this example), but the special lottery (probability change function The special lottery under operation) is performed in the specific effect state as described above.

  That is, in principle, the 100 short time gaming states are an ultra-speed mode in which a special lottery is performed, for example, 20 times, a normal speed mode in which a special lottery is performed, for example, 75 times, and a slow-speed mode in which a special lottery is performed, for example And consists of And in such a time saving game state, the number of times of execution of the special lottery is displayed starting from the end of the super speed mode. In the super-speed mode, a series of achievement type effects are performed using the time required for the plurality of special drawings to be completed despite the fact that a plurality of special drawings have been made. As a result, it is highly likely that the player is aware that only a few (for example, one) special lottery is performed less than the plurality of times. In this example, when the special lottery is performed 81 times, for example, it is highly possible that the time saving game state is ended, and accordingly, the state advantageous to the player (probable variation gaming state) is also ended.

  However, when the specific condition is satisfied, the number N of times at which the time saving function is activated is determined by the time saving number lottery. The N time short game states determined in this manner are the special speed mode in which the special lottery is performed by, for example, (N-80) times determined by the fast speed mode number determination lottery and (N is from 81 to 100 in this example) It is constituted by a normal speed mode in which a special lottery is performed, for example, 75 times, and a slow mode in which a special lottery is performed, for example, 5 times. However, as described above, the player recognizes that the remaining number of states advantageous to the player starting from the end of the super-speed mode (a state where it can be grasped that the probability change function is externally activated) is 80 times. Will play a game while playing. Therefore, when the specific condition is established, the remaining number of the special lottery executed in the above-mentioned advantageous state for the player is recognized to be 80 times externally starting from the end of the super speed mode. Although progress may be made, there may be a case where the operation of the probability change function continues even after the time saving game state is ended internally. The special lottery (special lottery with the probability variation function activated) for the number (100-N) which is the difference between the number of times the probability variation function is activated (100 in this example) and the number N of time saving functions activated It is because it is performed in a specific effect state as mentioned above.

  In the super-speed mode, a series of effects that appear throughout the fluctuation of a plurality of lotterys are displayed, so it is difficult for the player to grasp the number of times the special lottery is executed in the series of effects. Therefore, from the player's point of view, even if the above-mentioned series of effects are performed during the fluctuation of the number of times of drawing which is less than the specified number of times, the player grasps it. It is difficult to do.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the normal speed mode ends, the special lottery is performed, for example, in the slow mode in which five times are performed, but it is needless to say that the slow mode is not an essential configuration.

  Also, the above specific condition may be established, for example, by performing a lottery for being set to an ultra-speed mode in which only a few special lotterys are executed less than the specified number of times, but the above specific The establishment of the condition is not limited to a specific aspect.

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