  Here, recent gaming machines tend to diversify and complicate the presentation in order to increase the interest of the game. However, when a symbol for notifying that the effect is continuing is configured to always be displayed on the effect display unit, the display content on the effect display unit is restricted, or a sense of unity of the display content is obtained. It is feared that it will be a factor which reduces the interest of a game by being impaired.

  That is, in view of the problem inherent in the gaming machine according to the prior art, the present invention has been proposed to suitably solve the problem, and for controlling the first control means for determining whether or not it is a hit. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine which can execute an effect with high effect and improve the interest of the game without impairing the state in which the game information based can be identified.

In order to solve the problems and achieve the intended purpose, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is
A first control means (60a) for executing a predetermined control process; and a second control means (65a) for executing a control process related to rendering based on a control signal from the first control means (60a) The first control means (60a) comprises a hit judging means (60a) for judging whether or not a hit is triggered by the establishment of a predetermined condition, and the judgment of the hit judging means (60a) is a judgment of hit In a gaming machine configured to perform a special game advantageous to a player triggered by a result being obtained,
First game information display means (M) capable of changing and stopping display of first game information indicating the determination result of the hit determination means (60a) based on control of the first control means (60a);
Second game information display means (17) capable of fluctuating and stopping display of second game information indicating the determination result of the hit determination means (60a) based on control of the second control means (65a);
The third game information is displayed based on the control of the second control means (65a) in a form in which the first game information display means (M) can distinguish whether the first game information is being changed or not. Possible third game information display means (300);
The first control means (60a) generates an error including a first specific error and a second specific error and a third specific error which are less urgent than the first specific error. Configured to include an error determination means (60a) for determining
In the second game information display means (17), as a game information display area for displaying the second game information, a stop display area (27) for stopping and displaying the second game information and the second game information Each of the variable display areas (28) for displaying a plurality of
A first error display area (401) displaying the occurrence of the first specific error displays a game information display area (17a) displaying the second game information in the second game information display means (17) And a second error display area (402) for displaying the occurrence of the second specific error while overlapping the entire area of the second game information display means (17). In the gaming information display area (17a) for displaying gaming information, the third specific one is set so as to overlap with each of the stop display area (27) and the variable display area (28) of all the rows. The third error display area (403) for displaying the occurrence of an error is all in the game information display area (17a) for displaying the second game information in the second game information display means (17). So that it does not overlap the stop display area (27) of the column, but overlaps a part of the variable display area (28) of all the columns Is set
The second error display unit is configured to display the occurrence of the first specific error in the first error display area (401) when the error determination unit (60a) determines that the first specific error occurs. The second control means (65a) controls the display of the game information display means (17) so that the second game information can not be identified when the first specific error occurs. ,
The second error display area (402) displays the occurrence of the second specific error when the error determination means (60a) determines that the second specific error has occurred. The second control means (65a) controls the display of the game information display means (17) to compare the second game information with a state in which no error occurs when a second specific error occurs. Configured to be difficult to identify in
In each of the state in which the error determination means (60a) determines that a first specific error has occurred and the state in which it has determined that any of a second specific error has occurred, whether the first game information is changing The second control means (65a) is configured to control the third game information display means (300) to display the third game information in a distinguishable form ,
When power is restored with a power failure that occurs during the fluctuation of the first game information, the error display displayed in the first to third error display areas (401, 402, 403) is hidden, and the power is turned off. The first game information is variably displayed on the first game information display means (M) based on the unelapsed time of the fluctuation time determined before the occurrence, and a game can be made during the unelapsed time To be able to display on the second game information display means (17) an in-restoration image capable of notifying that it is

If the second specific error or the third specific error has not been resolved after the power recovery, the second or third error display area (402, 403) with the image being restored displayed The present invention is summarized as being configured to indicate the occurrence of the second or third specific error that has not been resolved .

As described above, the first game information is displayed on the first game information display means based on the control of the first control means, and the second game information display means and the third game information display means In each of the above, the second and third game information related to the first game information (the second game information and the third game information) are displayed based on the control of the second control means. The information related to the first game information can be identified from any display of the third game information display means. For this reason, since information related to the first game information can be identified from the third game information of the third game information display means, the degree of freedom of the effect utilizing the second game information display means is enhanced. It is possible to improve the interest of the game.
Further, when the error determination means of the first control means determines that the first specific error has occurred, the second game information indicating the determination result of the hit determination means is to be displayed in the game information display area By displaying an error in the first error display area overlapping the entire area, it is possible to surely notify that the first specific error has occurred, and it is possible to make it difficult to continue normal gaming. It is possible to prevent the game from being continued with a specific error occurring.
Then, when it is determined that the second specific error has occurred, the error display is performed by displaying an error in the second error display area overlapping the stop display area of all the columns and a part of the variable display area. Since it is possible to show the determination result of the hit determination by the second game information while promoting the coping to the error, it is possible to maintain the interest of the game by preventing the rendering effect from being unnecessarily reduced by the error display. . At this time, when the second error display area overlaps with a part of the stop display area directly linked to the display of the judgment result of the hit judgment, it is possible to effectively notify that an error has occurred. In addition, by making the third error display area not overlap the stop display areas of all the rows in which the second game information is stopped and displayed, the game can be played even in the state where the error is displayed in the third error display area. So as not to lose the interest of
On the other hand, in each of the states in which it is determined that the first specific error has occurred and the second game information has become indistinguishable and the second specific error has become difficult to identify the second game information. It is useless for the player by making it possible to identify whether the first game information indicating the judgment result of the hit judging means is changing or not from the display state of the third game information in the third game information display means. Can prevent confusion.

The short-time release operation is set to a time (for example, 40 milliseconds) in which the pachinko ball is substantially impossible to win in one release operation under the condition that the pachinko ball is continuously fired at a predetermined firing interval. Even if the pachinko ball is an open time in which the pachinko ball can win a prize, the predetermined number of pachinko balls can be set to a time substantially impossible (for example, one second). In the embodiment, only one of the long opening operation and the short opening operation is set in each round game. It is also possible to set so as to perform a long time opening operation or a short time opening operation a plurality of times in one round game.

(About the type of big hit game)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the jackpot determination is won, one big hit game is determined from a plurality of types of big hit games having different values to be given to the player, and the determined big hit game is awarded. Here, which big hit game is awarded among multiple types of big hit games is determined based on the type of big hit symbol (special figure 1 and special figure 2) determined when winning the big hit judgment. It has become so. Moreover, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the type of the big hit game is a specific big hit game that can be given a definite change state described later after the end of the big hit game, and a non-specification that can not substantially give a true change state after the big hit game ends. It is divided roughly into a big hit game. In the embodiment, the special figure 1 as 100 types of big hit symbols that can be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A is a symbol A corresponding to a specific big hit game and a symbol B corresponding to a non specific big hit game It is classified into a group, and a hit game corresponding to the jackpot symbol displayed on the first special view display unit 50A is displayed. Similarly, in the embodiment, the special figure 2 as the 100 types of big hit symbols that can be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B is a pattern a corresponding to a specific big hit game and a symbol b corresponding to a non specific big hit game A hit game corresponding to the jackpot symbol which is classified into the group and is displayed on the second special view display unit 50B for a decision stop is provided. In addition, the kind of big hit game and the kind of big hit symbol are not restricted to this, and can be set suitably.

  Here, the specified big hit game and the non-specified big hit game according to the embodiment, when the main control CPU 60a determines the specified big hit game, a round other than the specified round (for example, 5 rounds) within the specified number of rounds. In the game, the first special opening / closing member 41b of the first special winning portion 41 is opened for a long time, and the second special opening / closing member 42b of the second special winning portion 42 is opened for a long time in a specific round (for example, 5 rounds) It is set as a big hit game to be played. The switching solenoid SL4 is set to drive the guiding body of the second special winning portion 42 from the first attitude to the second attitude in the round game of the specific round in the specific big hit game, and in the non specific big hit game The switching solenoid SL4 is set to drive the guide body of the second special winning portion 42 in the first posture in the round game of the specific round. That is, in the specific big hit game, by moving the guide body to the second position in the specific round, pachinko balls can be won in the specific area, and a probability change state can be given after the end of the big hit game, In the non-specified big hit game, the pachinko ball is substantially incapable of winning in the specific area, and no definite change state can be given after the end of the big hit game. Also, in the specific big hit game, when the specific area entering detection sensor SE5 detects the pachinko ball in the specific round (five rounds) and decides to give the probability change state, after the big hit game ends, until the next big hit In the meanwhile, a definite change state can be continuously applied. In the specific big hit game, it is set so as not to decide to give a probability change state on the condition that the specific area insertion detection sensor SE5 does not detect a pachinko ball in a specific round.

(About a definite change state)
The pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing a first bonus game state as a game state advantageous to the player after the end of the big hit game. Here, as the first bonus gaming state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening is a state where it increases compared to the state where the first bonus gaming state is not provided. Specifically, in the first bonus game state, it is possible to increase the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening by changing the probability of winning a special figure from low to high. In the following description, the first bonus game state is referred to as a "probable change state" for the sake of convenience.

  The probability change function is based on the detection of pachinko balls by the specific area ball detection sensor SE5 of the second special winning portion 42 in the specific round in the big hit game (conditional of pachinko balls into the specific area) as a condition It is a function that makes it possible to give a probability change state that changes the lottery probability (big hit probability) of big hit from low probability (for example, 1 / 262.144) to high probability (for example, 1 / 73.885) after the end of the game) . Note that a state in which a definite change state is not given is referred to as a non-positive change state. Also, the low probability and the high probability are examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In the embodiment, when a probability change state is given (that is, when the specific area insertion detection sensor SE5 detects a pachinko ball in the big hit game), until the next big hit game is generated after the big hit game (more accurately) It is set that a definite change state is continuously provided during the special figure variation display winning until the special figure variation determination is completed). As described above, when the probability change state is given, the probability of drawing the jackpot changes to a high probability and the jackpot is likely to be generated, so that the probability change state is advantageous for the player and the player becomes the probability change jackpot. We are playing games while expecting. In addition, it is not restricted to the above-mentioned thing as a period (Hereinafter, the number of times of change of symbol variation production (special figure change display) which a definite change state continues is called fixed change frequency) to which a definite change state is given. For example, the definite change state may be continuously applied while the definite change state is applied and until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the transition to the non-positive change state may be performed on the condition that the predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition may be, for example, setting the number of probability variations after the end of the big hit game to a finite number (for example, 100), or winning a fall lottery to shift to an indeterminate variation state in the determination per special drawing. In addition, the jackpot symbol giving a definite change state and the big hit symbol not giving a positive change state are set, and the big hit symbol giving the positive change state is determined with the opportunity to win the determination per special drawing, positive change It can also be a condition that gives a state.

  Here, when a definite change state is given after the end of the big hit game, "1" is set to the definite change flag set in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, and when a definite change state is not given, the definite change flag is set It is set to "0". It should be noted that, when the termination condition of the positive variation state is satisfied, the main control CPU 60a sets “0” to the positive variation flag.

(About the change state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing a second bonus game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the big hit game is over. As the second bonus game state, the winning rate of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 32a is increased as compared to the state (first game state) where the second bonus game state is not provided It is in an improved state. Specifically, in the second bonus game state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the spread map fluctuation display, (2) changing the probability per spread map from low to high probability, (3) once per spread map By increasing the opening time of the start-up opening / closing member 32b for opening the second start winning opening 32a, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start winning opening 32a can be increased. In the second bonus game state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. In the embodiment, the second bonus game state is referred to as a variable state.
In the embodiment, it is set that the variable short state is continuously given while the definite variable state is given, and the variable short state is not given when the positive variable state is not given. In addition, it is not restricted to this as a period (it changes the frequency | count of fluctuation | variation of the symbol fluctuation presentation (special figure fluctuation | variation display) which a fluctuation state continues) the period in which a fluctuation state is provided. For example, the variable short state may be continuously applied while the variable short state is applied until the predetermined condition is satisfied, and the transition to the non-variable short state may be performed on the condition that the predetermined predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition may be, for example, setting the number of probability variations after the end of the big hit game to a finite number (for example, 100), or winning a fall lottery to shift to an indeterminate variation state in the determination per special drawing. In addition, when a definite change state is not given (that is, when a specific area insertion detection sensor SE5 detects a pachinko ball in the big hit game), a predetermined number of changes (for example, 100 times) change status is given after the big hit game May be configured to

  In addition, while the variable control state is applied, the main control CPU 60a sets “1” to the variable length flag stored in the main control RAM 60c, and the main control CPU 60a sets the variable stored in the main control RAM 60c. When the short flag is "1", it can be recognized that the variable short state is in progress. When the termination condition of the variation state is established, the main control CPU 60a sets the variation flag to "0".

The number of reservations for special view start hold information (first special view start hold information or second special view start hold information) corresponding to the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2 is less than the upper limit number (4 in the example) It is determined whether or not there is an upper limit number, and various random number values as winning information are obtained and stored in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c. Here, in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, hardware random numbers (random numbers for determination per special figure) and software random numbers (random numbers for special figure determination random numbers or special figure fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers) are won It is stored as information (random number value). Then, when the first special view start suspension information is stored, a first special view suspension number specification command indicating the number of reservations to which the relevant suspension information is added is set, and the second special view start suspension information is stored. Sets a second special-image hold number designation command indicating the hold number obtained by adding the hold information.

(About special processing start processing)
In the special view start process (step S106), the main control CPU 60a changes the special view based on the special view start reservation information (each random number value) stored in the main control RAM 60c when the predetermined special view change start condition is satisfied. It is configured to start the display. Specifically, in the embodiment, the special view variation display and the big hit game are not being performed at the time of execution of the special view start processing (that is, the special view variation display or not being in the big hit game), the special view It is defined as a variable start condition. And, at the time of execution of the special figure start process, when it is in the middle of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation production) and the big hit game, the special figure start process is ended.

  When the special view fluctuation start condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 60a reads the special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c, and subtracts one from the number of suspension of the read special view start suspension information. That is, when the first special view start suspension information is read, the number of suspension of the first special view start suspension information is subtracted, and when the second special view start suspension information is read, the second special view The pending number of start pending information is subtracted. Here, when each of the first special view start reservation information and the second special view start reservation information is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the second special view start reservation information is preferentially read and the second special view Design variation may be prioritized (that is, it is preferred to change) in accordance with the special drawing hit determination based on the start pending information, in the order of storing the first and second special view start pending information in the main control RAM 60c It may be configured to perform symbol variation in accordance with the special drawing hit determination based on the first and second special drawing start reservation information read out and read out (fluctuating in the winning combination order). Further, in the configuration in which priority change occurs, the main control CPU 60a reads out the second special view start suspension information stored by the main control RAM 60c in the stored order, and stores the first special view start suspension information similarly stored by the main control RAM 60c. The main control CPU 60a is configured to read out in the order described above. Then, when the first special view start suspension information is read out, a first special view suspension number specification command indicating the number of suspension obtained by subtracting the corresponding suspension information is set, and the second special view start suspension information is read out. Sets a second special-image hold number designation command indicating the hold number obtained by subtracting the hold information.

  Further, main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the value of the random number per special figure determination included in the read special view start suspension information matches the special value per determination special value stored in main control ROM 60b ( Judgment per special feature). Here, the determination value per special drawing is determined as a predetermined value from the range of values that can be taken by hardware random numbers acquired as a random number per determination for per special drawing, and a definite variation state is given at the time of determination per special drawing. The number is different depending on whether it is done or not. Specifically, the number of judgment values per special drawing determined to be in a special drawing in the case of a definite change state is set larger than the number of judgment values per special drawing determined in a special drawing in the non-probability change state There is. That is, a big hit is likely to occur by increasing the number of judgment values per special drawing in the definite change state. In the embodiment, in the non-probability state (when the value of the probability change flag is “0”), the collision determination result is obtained with the probability of 3275/65536, and when the value is the probability change state (when the value of the probability change flag is “1” The judgment value for the special figure is set such that the judgment result of the collision is 9300/65536.

  Then, when the special drawing hit determination results in the determination of the removal, the special drawing indicating the removal is determined as the special drawing to be stopped and displayed on the special drawing display portions 50A and 50B as the special drawing variation display. Based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number, one special pattern variation pattern is determined from among the special pattern variation patterns for outliers. On the other hand, when the special figure hit determination results in a hit determination result, the special figure determination random value for special figure determination matches the special figure determination use determination value stored in main control ROM 60b. As a result of the figure variation display, a special figure to be displayed stopped as a big hit symbol on the special figure display parts 50A, 50B is determined. Here, since the big hit symbol of the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is matched depending on whether the value of the special figure determination random number is the first special figure start reservation information or the second special figure start reservation information, the main control The CPU 60a determines the jackpot symbol by determining the special drawing 1 or the special drawing 2 associated with the value of the special drawing determination random number according to the type of the acquired special drawing start holding information. Then, when the big hit symbol (special figure 1 or special figure 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects one of the special figure variation patterns for the special figure based on the value of the special figure variation pattern determination random number. Determine special pattern fluctuation pattern. Then, the main control CPU 60a sets a special figure designation command indicating the type of special figure (type of loss or hit), and sets a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command indicating the determined special figure fluctuation pattern to set the special figure It outputs toward production control CPU65a according to the timing which starts fluctuation display. In the special view fluctuation pattern specification command of the embodiment, it is possible to specify the type of special view start suspension information (first special view start suspension number information and second special view start suspension number information) for which the determination per special view was executed. It is configured to include various information, and the effect control CPU 65a can identify which of the first special view fluctuation display and the second special view fluctuation display is started based on the input of the special view fluctuation pattern designation command. It is supposed to be. Note that a command may be set to specify the type of special drawing start suspension information for which the special drawing hit determination has been performed.

  In addition, main control CPU 60a indicates that the special figure fluctuation display is ended when it counts that the special figure fluctuation time defined in the determined special figure fluctuation pattern has elapsed in the above-described time counting process. The drawing stop designation command is output to the effect control CPU 65a. That is, the effect control CPU 65a can identify the start timing of the special view fluctuation display (the special view fluctuation start timing) based on the command (special view fluctuation pattern designation command etc.) set in the special view start process. The effect control CPU 65a can identify the end timing of the special view fluctuation display (determination stop timing of the special view) based on the special view stop designation command set with the passage of the special view fluctuation time.

Here, in the storage area of the main control RAM 60c, hardware random numbers (random numbers for determination per common drawing) and software random numbers (random numbers for common drawing determination random numbers, common drawing fluctuation pattern distribution random numbers, etc.) are won It is stored as information (random number value). Then, when the general drawing start reservation information is stored, a common drawing reservation number specifying command indicating the number of holdings to which the holding information is added is set.

(About the common map start process)
In the common drawing start process (step S108), when the predetermined common drawing fluctuation start condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 60a changes the common drawing fluctuation based on the common drawing start reservation information (each random number value) stored in the main control RAM 60c. It is configured to start the display. Specifically, in the embodiment, it is determined that the common drawing variation display and the common drawing variation game are not performed at the time of execution of the common drawing start processing (that is, that the common drawing variation display or not common game is not being played). The above-mentioned spread map fluctuation start condition is set. Then, at the time of execution of the common drawing start process, if it is in the middle of any of the common drawing fluctuation display (design fluctuation presentation) and the common drawing per game, the common drawing start processing is ended.

  If the standard drawing fluctuation start condition is satisfied, the general drawing start reservation information stored in the main control RAM 60c is read out and the number of holdings of the general drawing start reservation information is subtracted by 1 and included in the general drawing start reservation information. It is determined whether the value of the determination random number per common drawing matches the determination value per common drawing stored in the main control ROM 60b (determination per common general drawing). Then, when the general drawing start reservation information is read out, a common drawing reservation number specifying command indicating the number of holdings obtained by subtracting the holding information is set. Here, the determination value per common drawing is determined as a predetermined value from the range of values that can be taken by hardware random numbers acquired as a determination random number per common drawing, and the variation state is determined at the time when determination per common drawing is performed. The number differs depending on whether or not it is granted. Specifically, the number of judgment values per common drawing determined to be per common drawing in the variable state is set larger than the number of judgment values per common drawing to be determined per common drawing in the non-variable state. It is done. That is, by increasing the number of determination values per common drawing in the variable / short state, the common drawing can easily occur.

  Then, if the determination of the common drawing is determined as the determination result of the removal, the common drawing indicating the deviation is determined as the common drawing to be stopped and displayed on the common drawing display unit 55 as a result of the common drawing fluctuation display. Based on the value of the determination random number, one common drawing fluctuation pattern is determined from among the common drawing fluctuation patterns for outliers. On the other hand, if the determination of the common drawing is determined as a determination result of the common, the common drawing determination random value is determined based on which of the determination values for common drawing determination stored in the main control ROM 60b. As a result of the figure fluctuation display, a common drawing to be stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol on the common drawing display unit 55 is determined. Then, when the symbol per common drawing is determined, the main control CPU 60a determines one common drawing fluctuation pattern from among the common drawing fluctuation patterns per common drawing based on the value of the common drawing fluctuation pattern determination random number. .

For this reason, when a full error (second specific error) occurs, there is a possibility that the progress of the game may be hindered by the fact that the winning balls are not paid out, and therefore, the display of the effect display unit 17 is performed. The second error display area 402 partially overlaps each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in which the special drawing effect symbols for which the player's attention particularly gathers are displayed, so that a full error occurs. It is designed to prevent the player from missing the occurrence. In the embodiment, the second error display area 402 is configured so as not to overlap the display area 205 for general drawing variation effect and the special view reserve display area 201 and 202 for effect, and even in the state where a full error occurs, The number of reserved special drawing start pending number information displayed on the effect display unit 17 and the fluctuation state of the generic drawing production symbol can be arbitrarily confirmed by the player, and the display area for the common drawing fluctuation effect Based on the information displayed in the display 205 and the special drawing reserve display areas 201 and 202 for effect, it is possible for the player to judge continuation or interruption of the game.

  Here, the second error display area 402 is not limited to the configuration that overlaps all the symbol rows 26a, 26b, and 26c, and may be configured to overlap some symbol rows. In the configuration in which the second error display area 402 overlaps a part of the symbol row, the second special symbol row (for example, the middle symbol row 26b) is the second symbol symbol group 26a, 26b, 26c at which the special design rendering symbol stops. By overlapping the error display areas 402, it is possible to effectively prevent the player from missing the occurrence of a full error. In addition, the second error display area 402 partially overlaps the stop display area 27 of some or all of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c, so that the type of the symbols displayed in the stop display area 27 in the stop display is noted. The occurrence of the full error can be effectively notified to the player who is playing the game. The second error display area 402 may partially overlap only with the variable display areas 28 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines that a full error (second specific error) has occurred, the above-mentioned symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c is displayed so as to overlap on the front side of a part of the special design symbol The effect control CPU 65a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to display the occurrence of the full error in the second error display area 402, so that the variation state of the special-purpose effect symbol can be identified.

(About front frame open error notification)
The effect control CPU 65a is a control command for instructing the display control board 70, the lamp control board 72, and the sound control board 73 to generate a front frame open error based on an input of a front frame open error designation command from the main control CPU 60a. Are output, and notification corresponding to the front frame opening error is performed in the effect display unit 17 as the notification means, the speaker 19 and the lamp device 18. Here, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to continue the notification of the front frame opening error according to the input of the front frame opening error designation command until the predetermined time elapses. As a specific notification mode, the effect control CPU 65a does not overlap with the special-design effect symbol displayed stop in the on-the-fly symbol variation effect in the display area smaller than the size of the display surface 17a in the effect display unit 17. In addition, for example, the control command is output to the display control board 70 so as to display the characters “the door is open” (small error display) in the vicinity of the outer edge of the display surface 17a or the stop display position of the special design effect pattern. . That is, in the front frame opening error notification, the special drawing effect symbol, the background, and the like displayed on the display surface 17a of the effect display unit 17 before the error occurrence is not hidden by the front frame opening error notification. Moreover, the open error notification by the lamp unit 18 blinks the lamp unit 18 provided on the front of the front frame in red. Furthermore, the open error notification by the speaker 19 outputs a voice of “the door is open”.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the main control CPU 60a determines that the third specific error (front frame opening error) has occurred, the effect display unit 17 displays the occurrence of the error. The third error display area 403 is a game information display area (each symbol column 26a, 26b, 26c, a display area 205 for common drawing variation effect, and a special drawing reserve display area 201, 202) for effect. That is, when the third specific error (front frame opening error) occurs, the special figure effect symbol, the common figure effect symbol, the special figure hold indication, which were displayed on the display surface 17a before the error occurrence. A background or the like is configured to be distinguishable from the player. Specifically, in the embodiment, the third error display area 403 straddles each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c and overlaps a part of the variable display region 28 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c. It is provided. That is, the third error display area 403 does not overlap the stop display area 27 of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. As described above, by overlapping the third error display area 403 only with the variable display area 28 of the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c, the player's attention is particularly attracted among the displays of the effect display unit 17. By not overlapping the stop display area 27 in which the illustration effect pattern for stop is displayed, the interest of the game is prevented from being lost even when an error is displayed in the third error display area 403. Here, the second error display area 402 and the third error display area 403 are set so as not to overlap each other, and can be configured to simultaneously execute a full error notification and a front frame open error notification. It is done.

(About the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300 when an error occurs)
In addition, when the main control CPU 60a determines that various errors occur, the effect control CPU 65a controls the auxiliary display unit 300 to continue various displays. That is, even when any error occurs, the effect control CPU 65a is controlled so that the display content of the auxiliary display unit 300 does not become unidentifiable, and even when the error notification is performed in the effect display unit 17, The state of the game in the pachinko machine 10 can be identified from the display of the auxiliary display unit 300. As described above, when the main control CPU 60a determines that various errors have occurred, the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300, which the player can relatively easily check, is controlled by the main control CPU 60a. By controlling the effect control CPU 65a to match the display state of M, even if an error occurs, the player is not misunderstood or distrusted.

  Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a controls the error display command (main board error specification command, magnetism, radio wave, vibration detection, etc.) while controlling to display the assist special map fluctuation in the special drawing fluctuation auxiliary display unit 301, 302. When a sensor error specification command, a full error specification command, a front frame open specification command is input, the elapsed time from the start of the auxiliary special figure fluctuation display is a special drawing fluctuation pattern designation command corresponding to the auxiliary special drawing fluctuation display Until the special figure fluctuation time specified in the above, the auxiliary special figure fluctuation display with the special figure auxiliary symbol in the special figure fluctuation auxiliary display section 301, 302 is continued, and the special figure fluctuation time is passed and the auxiliary The special figure fluctuation auxiliary display unit 301, 302 is controlled to stop the special figure fluctuation display. That is, the special display assistance in the auxiliary display parts 301 and 302 is in a form in which it is possible to distinguish whether the special drawing fluctuation display is being performed in the special drawing display parts 50A and 50B in a state where the special drawing production symbol in the special display part 17 can not be identified. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the auxiliary special figure variation display of the symbol. Thus, with the occurrence of the first specific error, the fluctuation state of the special design effect symbol in the effect display unit 17 becomes unidentifiable or with the occurrence of the second specific error. Even when it becomes difficult to identify the variation state of the symbol, the player checks whether the special figure variation display is in progress by confirming the display of the special figure variation auxiliary display parts 301, 302 adjacent to the display surface 17a of the effect display part 17. Since it can be grasped, it is possible to prevent giving the player an unnecessary misunderstanding that the judgment result of the judgment of the special drawing is lost or the like with the occurrence of the error.

  Similarly, while the production control CPU 65a is performing control to perform auxiliary common drawing fluctuation display in the common drawing fluctuation auxiliary display unit 305, an error specification command (main board error specification command, magnetic / radio wave / vibration detection sensor error specification) When a command, a full error specification command, a front frame open specification command) is input, the elapsed time from the start of the auxiliary common drawing fluctuation display is specified by the common drawing fluctuation pattern specification command corresponding to the auxiliary common drawing fluctuation display Until the common drawing fluctuation time is reached, the auxiliary common drawing fluctuation display with the common drawing auxiliary symbol on the common drawing fluctuation support display unit 305 is continued, and the auxiliary common drawing fluctuation display is displayed when the common drawing fluctuation time passes. The common drawing variation auxiliary display unit 305 is controlled to stop. That is, in a state in which the generic drawing display unit 55 can identify whether the generic drawing variation display is being performed in a state in which the generic drawing production symbol in the production display unit 17 can not be identified. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the figure variation display. Thus, with the occurrence of the first specific error, the fluctuation state of the special design effect symbol in the effect display unit 17 becomes unidentifiable or with the occurrence of the second specific error. Even when it becomes difficult to identify the fluctuation state of the symbol, the player grasps whether or not the common drawing fluctuation display is in progress by checking the display of the common drawing fluctuation auxiliary display unit 305 adjacent to the display surface 17a of the effect display unit 17. Therefore, it is possible to prevent giving the player an unnecessary misunderstanding that the judgment result of the judgment of the common drawing has disappeared or the like due to the occurrence of the error.

  Further, when the error control command (main board error control command, magnetic / radio wave / vibration detection sensor error control command, full error control command, front frame open control command) is input, the effect control CPU 65a is the first and the first and The special display start hold number information specified by the special view start hold number specification command that was input until the error specification command was input, the hold display of the second special view hold auxiliary display portions 303 and 304 is held Control to display the number, and to display the number of pending special event start pending number information specified by the special figure starting pending number specifying command input after the error specifying command is input. Control is performed to switch the holding display of the drawing hold auxiliary display units 303 and 304. That is, with the occurrence of the first specific error, the on-hold display displayed in the effect special display reserve display areas 201 and 202 of the effect display unit 17 can not be identified or the second specific error occurs. Even when it becomes difficult to identify the hold display, the number of holdings of the special view start hold number information is confirmed by confirming the display of the special view hold auxiliary display units 303, 304 adjacent to the display surface 17a of the effect display unit 17. Since the player can grasp the situation, it is possible to prevent giving the player an unnecessary misunderstanding such as the suspension of the special drawing start reservation number information disappearing with the occurrence of an error.

(About the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300 accompanying the movement of the movable body)
Here, the effect control CPU 65a controls the auxiliary display unit 300 to continue various displays when the effect of operating the movable bodies 110 and 120 is performed. That is, in the case of operating the movable bodies 110 and 120, as in the case of an error, the effect control CPU 65a is controlled so that the display content of the auxiliary display unit 300 does not become unidentifiable. Even in the state of being hidden by the movable body 10, the progress of the game in the pachinko machine 10 can be identified from the display of the auxiliary display unit 300. That is, when operating the movable bodies 110 and 120, the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300 which can be relatively easily confirmed by the player matches the display state of the game information display unit M controlled by the main control CPU 60a. As described above, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to prevent the player from being misunderstood or distrusted even when an error occurs.

(Power-off process)
Next, the power-off process performed by the main control CPU 60a at the time of power-off will be described. The main control board 60 is configured to forcibly execute the power-off process regardless of the control state of the main control CPU 60a when the power-off signal is input from the power board 100 (at power-off). In the power-off process, the main control CPU 60a first sets the timer interrupt process to be prohibited. Then, the main control CPU 60a stores, in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c, specific information (backup data) required to restore the power-off state when power is restored.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 60a, as common specifying information, information (gaming state information) for specifying the gaming state (probable change flag, variable short flag big hit flag setting value), and each stored in the main control RAM 60c Information for specifying the number of first special view start hold information (values of various random numbers) and each second special view start hold information (values of various random numbers) and the number of first special view start hold information (first special figure hold) Number information), information for specifying the number of holdings of the second special drawing start holding information (second number of special drawing holdings information), open determination information (values of various random numbers) stored in the main control RAM 60c, A plurality of pieces of information including information specifying the holding number of the figure start holding information (general drawing holding number information) and information specifying the gaming state (provisional change state and variation state giving state) (playing state identification information) , As stored in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c To have. That is, when the power-off process occurs at the time of the stop of the special view fluctuation display (in the case of the special view fluctuation stop power-off), when it occurs during the display of the special view fluctuation display (in the case of the special view fluctuation power off) In the case of a stop at the general drawing fluctuation display (in the case of power supply interruption at the time of common drawing fluctuation stop) and in the case of the execution during the execution of the common drawing fluctuation display (in the case of the power supply interruption during the common drawing fluctuation) The common specific information is stored in the backup area. In addition, when the power is turned off immediately after the special figure fluctuation display which is elected for special figure hitting decision ends (during special figure interval time), information big hit which specifies the big hit design which is decided according to the special figure per decision The information necessary to execute the big hit game such as the symbol information is also included. Here, as the special view fluctuation stop power supply interruption, the main control RAM 60c is storing any one of the first and second special view start reservation information, and it occurred during the special view fluctuation interval time. In the state where the main control RAM 60c does not store power off or both of the first and second special view start reservation information, the acquisition of the winning information accompanying the winning to the first or second start winning portion 31, 32 It is in a standby state (standby state). In addition, as the power-off at the time of the normal drawing fluctuation stop, the main control RAM 60c is storing the normal drawing start reservation information, and the power interruption occurred during the normal drawing fluctuation interval time, the normal drawing start reservation information Is a state in which the main control RAM 60c is not stored, and is in a state of waiting for acquisition of release determination information accompanying passage of the game ball of the gate unit 48 (standby state). In addition, when the power is turned off immediately after the special figure fluctuation display which is elected for special figure hitting decision ends (during special figure interval time), information big hit which specifies the big hit design which is decided according to the special figure per decision Information necessary to execute a big hit game such as symbol information is also stored in the backup area.

  In addition, in the case of power supply interruption during special drawing fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a performs special drawing fluctuation during the special drawing fluctuation that is performed based on any of the first and second special drawing start suspension information in addition to the common specific information. Information for identifying whether or not the generated power is off (special figure fluctuation type information), and information for identifying the determination result (big hit or missing) of the special figure determination performed when executing the special figure fluctuation display Judgment result information), information (big hit symbol information) for identifying the jackpot symbol determined in the case of the judgment result of the special drawing, and information on the special drawing fluctuation time specified by the special drawing fluctuation pattern A plurality of information (specific information on power-off during a special-pattern fluctuation) including special-pattern fluctuation time information) and information (special-image fluctuation elapsed time information) related to the time elapsed from the start of the special-pattern fluctuation display , In the backup area of the main control RAM 60c It has become to so that. That is, in the case of power failure during the special figure fluctuation, it is configured to be able to return to the state at the time when the power failure occurred when the power is restored and to restart the special figure fluctuation display.

  In addition, in the case of a power failure during a general drawing fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a determines the common judgment per flat drawing judgment performed when executing the common fluctuation display (a per common drawing or Information to identify the out-of-order) (determination result information per common drawing), and information to identify the per-common drawing symbol determined in the case of the determination result per per common distribution determination (pattern information per common illustration), It includes information (general drawing fluctuation time information) related to the common drawing fluctuation time specified by the drawing fluctuation pattern and information (general drawing fluctuation elapsed time information) about the time elapsed from the start of the general drawing fluctuation display until the power is turned off. A plurality of pieces of information (specific information on power failure during general drawing fluctuation) are stored in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c. That is, in the case of a power failure during normal fluctuation, it is possible to return to the state at the time when the power failure occurred when the power is restored and resume the normal fluctuation display.

  Then, in the power-off process, the main control CPU 60a calculates a RAM determination value (checksum value) to be referred to when the power is turned on, and stores the calculated RAM determination value in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c. After the power is turned off, power is supplied from the backup power supply of the power supply substrate 100 to the main control RAM 60c, and the contents stored in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c are held as backup data. That is, in the embodiment, the main control RAM 60c has a function as a backup unit that stores and holds information at the time of power supply interruption from the power supply circuit 105.

  In the power-off process, the main control CPU 60a sets a power-off command and outputs the power-off command to the effect control CPU 65a, the display control CPU 66a, and the payout control CPU 90a. Then, the main control CPU 60a sets the main control RAM 60c to the access inhibited state in the power-off process.

(Main control power on setting process)
Next, main control power on processing performed by the main control CPU 60a when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10 will be described. When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10 (power supply is started), the reset signal circuit 106 continuously outputs a reset signal to the main control CPU 60a until a predetermined restriction time elapses. Then, when the input of the reset signal is stopped, the main control CPU 60a is activated and executes the power on process (power recovery process) based on the power on process program stored in the corresponding control ROM 60b.

  In the power-on process, as shown in FIG. 7A, the main control CPU 60a sets the main control RAM 60c to the access permitted state, and the power supply starts (the power supply is resumed by turning on the power switch 101 and clearing the power When it is determined that the clear switch 102 has been turned on (step S201, step S202). That is, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the clear signal is input from the clear switch circuit 104. When the clear signal is input, the main control CPU 60a initially activates the pachinko machine 10 based on the initial setting value. The activation process is executed (step S203). When the clear signal is not input, the main control CPU 60a performs a data check as to whether or not the backup data stored in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c is normal (step S2044). Specifically, it is determined whether the checksum value calculated from the backup data matches the checksum value stored in the power-off process. Then, if the backup data is not normal (if they do not match), the process proceeds to the initial startup process of step S203. On the other hand, when it is determined that the backup data is normal (in the case of a match), the process proceeds to the recovery process of step S205.

  In the initial activation process of step S203, the storage content of the main control RAM 60c is cleared (the RAM is cleared). That is, the main control CPU 60a clears the backup data stored and held in the power-off process performed when the power is shut off (when the power switch 101 is turned off or at power failure), and sets an initial value in the main control RAM 60c. That is, the main control CPU 60a activates the pachinko machine 10 after initializing the main control RAM 60c in the process of step S203. Specifically, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7B and 9, in the initial start-up process, each of the first and second special view display units 50A and 50B and the common view display unit 55 is used. In addition to displaying symbols (special drawings and common drawings) that are out of display, each special drawing reservation display unit 52, 53 and common drawing reservation display unit 56 corresponds to the special drawing start reservation number information or common drawing start reservation number The main control CPU 60a controls each display unit so that the number of pending information items indicates "0". Then, the main control CPU 60a clears the stored contents of the main control RAM 60c and sets an initial start designation command indicating that the initial start has been performed, and outputs the command to the effect control CPU 65a and ends the main control power on setting process. , Permit the timer interrupt process described above.

  In the return process of step S205, the main control CPU 60a activates the pachinko machine 10 based on the information stored in the backup area of the main control RAM 60c. That is, the main control CPU 60a sets the contents backed up at the time of power-off in the regular storage area (work area) of the main control RAM 60c, and restores the control state of the main control CPU 60a to the state before power-off. Allow interrupt processing. Then, when the return processing is performed, the main control CPU 60a is set so that the display state of the gaming information display unit M becomes the display state when the power is cut off, based on various information stored in the backup area. Controlled by

  Then, in the recovery processing, the main control CPU 60a has a power-off recovery command indicating that it has been activated (restored) in a state before power-off, and a fluctuation state command indicating whether special figure fluctuation has been performed at power-off. The game state command related to the game state at the time of recovery (ie, power off) is set and output to the effect control CPU 65a, and the main control power on setting process is ended to permit the timer interrupt process described above. . Here, as a fluctuation state command, a fluctuation state command indicating that a power supply interruption occurred at the time of stopping the special drawing fluctuation display, and a fluctuation indicating that a power supply interruption occurred in the middle of the special drawing fluctuation display (during special drawing fluctuation) It is configured to be able to output one of the status command and the command, and a command according to whether or not the special view variation display has been performed at the time of power shutdown is output to the effect control CPU 65a. In the following description, the fluctuation state command indicating power interruption during stoppage of special view fluctuation display is referred to as stop time power interruption command, and the fluctuation state command indicating power interruption during fluctuation of special view fluctuation display is fluctuating It may be distinguished as a power off command. In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a is configured to set a fluctuation state command to be output to the effect control CPU 65a according to whether the special map fluctuation elapsed time information is stored in the backup area. The reference for setting the fluctuation state command is not limited to the special map fluctuation elapsed time information, and may be information which can be identified whether or not the special map fluctuation stored in the backup area. Further, the gaming state command is a command indicating the gaming state (provisional change state and variation state provision state) upon return based on the gaming state upon power off. In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a sets a game state command to be output to the payout control CPU 65a based on the game state identification information stored in the backup area.

(In the case of power recovery due to the power failure at the time of fluctuation stop of the special figure · public figure)
Here, specifically, in the case of power recovery due to power failure at fluctuation stop of the special figure, as shown in FIG. 9, it is displayed on the first or second special image display portion 50A, 50B at the time of power failure. In addition to displaying the hit or miss indication after power recovery, the display of the first or second special view hold display unit 52, 53 is adjusted to the number of special view start hold numbers information at the time of power off. The main control CPU 60a controls. Similarly, in the case of power recovery due to power failure at the time of fluctuation stop of the special diagram of the general diagram, the hit or off indication displayed on the general diagram display unit 55 at power off is displayed after power recovery, The main control CPU 60a controls the display of the common drawing hold display unit 56 to match the hold number of the common drawing start hold number information at the time of power-off.

(On the case of power recovery due to power interruption during fluctuation of the special figure)
As shown in FIG. 10, the main control CPU 60a generates a power-off in the timer interrupt process (game information display process) when the power is restored after the power-off during the special map fluctuation (when the return process is performed). The display of the special view display portions 50A, 50B is controlled so that the special view change display is performed in the special view display portions 50A, 50B based on the unelapsed time of the special view fluctuation time defined in advance. That is, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the power is cut off during the special map fluctuation performed based on which of the first and second special drawing start suspension information based on the special map fluctuation type information stored in the backup area. The first special drawing start reservation information is calculated based on the special drawing fluctuation time information and the special drawing fluctuation elapsed time information, by calculating an unelapsed time in which the special drawing fluctuation display has not been performed by the time the power is turned off. If a power failure occurs during the first special view variation display based on the first special view variation display for the unelapsed time is performed in the timer interrupt process after power recovery. Control the display of the first special view display unit 50A, and after power failure occurs while the second special view fluctuation display is being performed based on the second special view start suspension information, after power recovery The unelapsed time in the timer interrupt process of 2 as JP diagram variable display is performed to control the display of the first special symbol display unit 50A. Then, after the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed, based on the information stored in the backup area, the judgment result of the special view per judgment which is the trigger for the execution of the special view fluctuation display performed at the time of power off. In response, the main control CPU 60a controls the special view display portions 50A and 50B to display the special view of the hit or break.

  Further, when the return processing is performed, main control CPU 60a displays the number of holdings specified based on the first special drawing holding number information stored in the backup area in the timer interrupt processing (game information display processing). As well as controlling the display of the first special view reserve display unit 52, the display of the second special view reserve display unit 53 is controlled to display the number of reservations specified based on the second special view reserve number information. Then, after the special map fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed, when the first or second special drawing start reservation information is stored in the backup area, a new special drawing is made based on the start reservation information. The main control CPU 60a executes hit determination, and outputs a control command corresponding to the determination result to the effect control CPU 65a in command input / output processing. That is, when the first special drawing reservation number information and the second special drawing reservation number information are stored, 1 is subtracted from the holding number information, and the first and second start winning portions 31, 32 after power recovery. The first special drawing reservation number specification command and the second special drawing reservation number specification command indicating the number of reservations after being added to the winning combination are set and output to the effect control CPU 65a.

(On the case of power recovery due to power failure during fluctuation of the common map)
As shown in FIG. 11, the main control CPU 60a, when power is restored after a power failure during normal fluctuation (when recovery processing is performed), a general drawing determined before the occurrence of power failure in the timer interrupt processing Based on the unelapsed time of the fluctuation time, the display of the common drawing display unit 55 is controlled so that the common drawing fluctuation display is performed in the common drawing display unit 55. That is, the main control CPU 60a calculates the unelapsed time for which the general drawing fluctuation display has not been performed by the time of power-off, based on the general drawing fluctuation time information and the general drawing fluctuation elapsed time information stored in the backup area. In the timer interruption process after power recovery, the display of the common drawing display unit 55 is controlled so that the common drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed. Then, based on the information stored in the backup area after displaying the common drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time, the judgment result of the common drawing per judgment serving as the execution trigger of the common drawing fluctuation display performed at the time of power off In response, the main control CPU 60a controls the common view display unit 55 to display a common view of hit or break.

  Further, when the return processing is performed, when the return processing is performed, the main control CPU 60a is identified based on the general drawing reserve number information stored in the backup area in the timer interrupt processing (game information display processing). The display of the general drawing hold display unit 56 is controlled to display the hold number. Then, after the generic drawing variation display for the unelapsed time is performed, if the generic drawing start reservation information is stored in the backup area, the new common drawing identification determination is performed based on the generic drawing start reservation information. While being executed by the main control CPU 60a, a control command corresponding to the determination result is output to the effect control CPU 65a in command input / output processing. That is, when the common drawing reservation number information is stored, 1 is subtracted from the holding number information, and the common drawing reservation number indicating the holding number after being added along with the passage of the gate unit 48 after power recovery A designated command is set and output to the effect control CPU 65a.

(Sub control power on setting process)
Next, the effect control power-on process performed by the effect control CPU 65a when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on will be described. When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10 (power supply is started), the reset signal circuit 106 continuously outputs a reset signal to the effect control CPU 65a until a predetermined restriction time elapses. Then, when the input of the reset signal is stopped, the effect control CPU 65a is activated, and the power on process is executed based on the power on process program stored in the corresponding effect control ROM 65b. In the power-on process, display control process related to the display of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 is performed.

(About the display state of the special design effect pattern in the effect display unit 17)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the initial start designation command or the power off recovery command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the power on processing for effect control, the input is based on the input initial start designation command and the power off recovery command. The effect control CPU 65a controls the display of each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c in the effect display unit 17 to be different. That is, the display mode of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in the effect display unit 17 is configured to be different between the case where the initial start designation command is input and the case where the power off / return command is input. At this time, it can be identified from the display of the effect display unit 17 whether or not the RAM clear has been performed.

(About the case where the initial startup specification command is input)
Here, when an initial start designation command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the process for power on for presentation control, the presentation control CPU 65a executes each item of the presentation display unit 17 based on the initial value stored in the presentation control ROM 70b. The control command is output to the display control CPU 70a so that the display state of the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c becomes the initial setting state, and various settings are performed based on the initial values stored in the effect control ROM 70b Start 10 Specifically, various settings have been made based on initial values in control commands for displaying the initial background image as the background image displayed on the effect display unit 17 and in the stop display area 27 of each of the symbol columns 26a, 26b, 26c. It outputs a control command to display the special design rendering symbol determined as an initial symbol indicating that the RAM has been cleared (displayed to the RAM clear) to the display control CPU 70a, and each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in the effect display unit 17 The effect control CPU 65a executes control so that the special design effect symbol as the initial symbol is displayed on the display (see FIG. 7B and FIG. 8). In the embodiment, "3" is defined as a special symbol rendering symbol of the initial symbol displayed in the left symbol row 26a, and "7" is defined as a special symbol rendering symbol of the initial symbol displayed in the middle symbol row 26b. , "5" is defined as the special design effect design of the initial design to be displayed in the right symbol column 26c, and the special design effect design is set to be a combination of disassembly, based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a The display control CPU 70a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to stop and display each of the special drawing effect symbols.

(About the case where the power failure recovery command is input)
In addition, when the power loss recovery command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the effect control power-on process, the effect control CPU 65a displays effects according to whether or not the special figure fluctuation is performed when the power is off. A control command is output to the display control CPU 70a so that the display state of the unit 17 is different. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7 (c) and FIG. 9, when the power-off command at stop is input from the main control CPU 60a (in the case of power recovery due to the power-off at the time of fluctuation stop of the special figure). The control command for displaying the initial background image as the background image to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 and the various settings based on the information stored in the backup area in the stop display area 27 of each of the symbol columns 26a, 26b and 26c Control command to display the special design effect symbol defined as a return symbol to indicate that it has been sent to the display control CPU 70a, so that the display state of the effect display unit 17 changes to a recovery stop condition at the time of fluctuation stop The control CPU 65a executes control.

  In the example, "5" is defined as a special symbol production symbol of the return symbol displayed in the left symbol column 26a, and "7" is as a special symbol production symbol of the return symbol displayed in the middle symbol column 26b. It is decided, “3” is decided as the special design production design of the recovery symbol which is decided and displayed in the right design column 26c, the special design production design is set to become the combination of disassembly, control of production control CPU 65a Based on the above, the display control CPU 70a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to stop and display each of the special drawing effect symbols. Here, in the case of power recovery due to the power interruption at the time of the fluctuation stop of the special figure, the special figure effect which becomes hit or off according to the previous fluctuation of the symbol in each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c of the effect display section 17. The final symbol is displayed by the combination of symbols. As described above, in the embodiment, in the case of power recovery with power loss at the time of fluctuation stop of the special view, the display form of the effect display unit 17 is power loss by displaying the initial background image and the power recovery symbol. The effect control CPU 65a controls so as to be different from before the occurrence of. In addition, while displaying the same initial background image on the effect display unit 17 in the initial setting state and the power recovery state at the time of fluctuation stop, the special design effect symbols are displayed in different rows in each of the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c. Thus, it is determined whether the pachinko machine 10 has been activated based on the initial value stored in the effect control ROM 65b or whether the pachinko machine 10 has been activated in the state before power off based on various information stored in the backup area. It is supposed to get. As described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment displays at least the special design effect symbol displayed on the effect display unit 17 when the power is restored along with the power supply interruption generated at the time of the movement stop of the special view fluctuation display. It is configured to be controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so that the state is different from that before the occurrence of the power failure.

  Further, the effect control CPU 65a is in the process of performing the fluctuation of the special figure fluctuation display when the power-off command during the fluctuation (predetermined control signal) is input from the main control CPU 60a in the processing for power-on for presentation control In the case of power recovery due to power failure), the control command to display the image during recovery as a background image displayed on the effect display unit 17, and the stop display area 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in the backup area The display control CPU 70a outputs a control command to display the special design rendering symbol determined as the return symbol indicating that various settings have been performed based on the stored information, and the display state of the effect display unit 17 The effect control CPU 65a executes control so that the power recovery state is on during fluctuation (FIG. 7C). Here, by inputting a control command to display the image during recovery indicating the recovery state during fluctuation, an image of a display form different from the initial background image is displayed on the effect display unit 17 and It is configured to display the character “I have been notified” (status notification information) and the character “Please continue the game as it is” (playable notification notification). That is, in the image during recovery, status notification information for identifiably reporting the status (when power is restored based on the information stored in the backup area) at the time of activation of the pachinko machine 10, and notification that gaming is possible By displaying the play enable notification display, confusion of the player accompanying the power-off during the special figure fluctuation can be minimized.

  Here, as for the image during recovery, the special figure fluctuation display for the unelapsed time for which the special drawing fluctuation display is not performed by the time of power off is performed by the special drawing display portions 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a When being, it can be controlled by the effect control CPU 65a to switch to another background image. Specifically, the special view variation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B, and the next special view determination is performed on the basis of the special view start reservation information. The control CPU 65a outputs a control command to the display control CPU 70a to control switching from the image being restored to another background image. That is, when the fluctuation power-off command is input, the effect control CPU 65a performs the restoration image as the restoration display in the effect display unit 17 while the special view fluctuation display is performed based on the unelapsed time. Control to display.

  The effect control CPU 65a can determine that the special figure hit determination has been performed by inputting the special figure change pattern designation command from the main control CPU 60a. Here, at the output timing of the special figure fluctuation pattern designation command from the main control CPU 60a, control commands related to the gaming state such as the definite variation state designation command and the variation state designation command are input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a. The effect control CPU 65a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to switch to an appropriate background image according to the game state determined based on the probability change state specification command or the variation state specification command. As described above, when the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed in the special view display units 50A and 50B and the next special view fluctuation display is performed, the display of the effect display unit 17 is switched from the image during recovery. Thus, it is possible to perform display effects suitable for the game. In addition, when the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display unit 50A, 50B and the next special view fluctuation display is performed, the effect display unit 17 based on the special view fluctuation pattern designation command. The effect control CPU 65a controls so as to change and stop display the special drawing effect pattern in the above.

  Further, the effect control CPU 65a is in the process of being restored based on the special figure stop designation command inputted from the main control CPU 60a when the special figure fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display parts 50A and 50B. It is also possible to control to switch from an image to another background image. In this case, when the special view stop designation command is input, the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control command to the display control CPU 70a so as to switch the image during recovery to the initial background image. In the case of this configuration, it is possible to prevent the display of the image during recovery indicating the power recovery state during fluctuation in conjunction with the end of the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time, so that the image during recovery is long It can be prevented from being displayed over a period of time. That is, the main control CPU 60a sends a special view stop designation command (variation stop signal) indicating that the special view in the special view display unit 50A, 50 is stopped when the unelapsed time has elapsed to the effect control CPU 65a. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the effect display unit 17 so as to hide the image during recovery of the effect display unit 17 when the special view stop designation command is input.

  When the image during recovery is switched to the initial background image, as described above, the main control CPU 60a generates a control command (a special figure fluctuation pattern designation command, a probability The effect control CPU 65a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to switch to an appropriate background image according to the game state when a control command related to the game state such as a state specification command or a change state specification command) is input. It can be configured as That is, even in the case of the configuration in which the display of the effect display unit 17 is switched from the image being restored in conjunction with the end of the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time, it is possible to perform the display effect suitable for the game. .

  Further, in the embodiment, when the power-off command during fluctuation is input, the effect control CPU 65a controls the effect display unit 17 not to display the effect symbol for special drawing in a fluctuating manner, and the special drawing by power-off When special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time during which fluctuation display is not performed is performed by the special view display parts 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a, the special view production symbol as the power recovery symbol Is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a. Specifically, based on the special view stop designation command input from the main control CPU 60a when the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B, the recovery symbol is displayed as the recovery symbol It is controlled to display the special design effect pattern. That is, in the case of the power recovery state during fluctuation, confusion of the player is prevented by preventing the fluctuation effect by the special pattern rendering symbol from being performed in the state where the image during recovery is displayed. In addition, it is also possible to perform the fluctuation effect by the special design effect symbol in a state where the image during recovery is displayed, and in this case, it is a game that symbol fluctuation is performed from the display of the effect display unit 17 Has the advantage of being able to make people aware. Moreover, while the image during recovery is displayed, it is possible to stop and display the special drawing effect symbol as the recovery symbol in the stop display area 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c of the effect display unit 17. It is. As described above, in the embodiment, when the power is restored along with the power interruption during the fluctuation of the special view, the display form of the effect display unit 17 is the power interruption by displaying the image during restoration and the power recovery symbol. The effect control CPU 65a controls so as to be different from before the occurrence of.

  Here, in the above description, the special design rendering symbol as a power recovery symbol in the case of power recovery in the case of power failure during special figure fluctuation, recovery in the case of power recovery due to power failure at the time of stop of special view fluctuation display Although it was set as the special design effect design (that is, the symbol combination of "5" "7" "3") as the electric symbol, the special power recovery symbol for exclusive use in the case of power recovery due to the power failure at the time of the change of the special view fluctuation display. Can be set. That is, when power is restored along with the power supply interruption generated during the special figure fluctuation, the effect control CPU 65a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to be a display form in which the special drawing effect symbol can not be identified. It can be configured. Specifically, in the case of power recovery due to power interruption during special figure fluctuation, a symbol different from the special drawing effect symbol used for the symbol fluctuation effect performed in the effect display unit 17 as the return symbol, the effect display unit It is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so as to be displayed at 17. Characters, figures, arbitrary characters, etc. can be adopted as this recovery symbol. As described above, displaying a dedicated power recovery symbol makes it possible to easily identify that power recovery has occurred in response to the power failure during the special figure fluctuation.

  Then, when a dedicated power recovery symbol to be displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300 is set in the case of power recovery due to power interruption during the special figure fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a performs the determination per special view by the main control CPU 60a. In this case, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the symbol display unit 17 so that the symbol variation by the special symbol for special drawing is performed. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines that the special control is performed after the power recovery, the effect is displayed during the variation time of the special view fluctuation display triggered by the execution of the special control determination by the main control CPU 60a after the power recovery. The effect control CPU 65 a is configured to control the display unit 17 so as to synchronize the change and the stop display of the special drawing effect symbol on the display unit 17. That is, in order to be able to distinguish that the special view variation display is being performed in the special view display portions 50A and 50B, the pattern variation by the special special view rendering symbol is performed in the effect display portion 17 It has become.

  Here, as described above, the special design effect symbol as the recovery symbol is set such that the special pattern effect symbol is a combination of disengaging. That is, in the power recovery state during fluctuation, even if the judgment result of the judgment on the special drawing that triggered the special drawing fluctuation display at the time of power off is either a big hit or a falling, there is a special design effect pattern that is a combination of the falling. It is supposed to be displayed. For this reason, by making the special design rendering symbol as the recovery symbol a combination of disconnections, it is despite the fact that the special drawing hit determination which is the trigger of the special view fluctuation display at the time of power off is the determination result of the disconnection. In addition, it is possible to reliably prevent the misalignment that the symbol combination of the big hit is displayed. In addition, by making the power recovery symbol the same symbol in the power recovery state during fluctuation stop and the power recovery state during fluctuation, it also contributes to preventing an increase in data capacity.

(On the hold display on the effect display unit 17)
In addition, the effect control CPU 65a is directed so as to be a hold display indicating a specific hold number in the power-on process for the production control (in the initial setting state, the power recovery state during fluctuation stop state, and the power recovery state during fluctuation). The display of the first and second special-character production reserve display areas 201 and 202 of the display unit 17 is controlled. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, when the initial control start command or the power-off recovery command is input, the effect control CPU 65a displays the first and second special view reserve display areas 201 for effect, A control command is output to the display control CPU 70a so as to hide the hold display of 202. In the embodiment, the non-display of the on-hold display of the effect special-image on-hold display areas 201 and 202 is the on-hold display when the number of on-holds is “0”.

  In the embodiment, in the above-described main control power-on setting process, the control command (special drawing pending number designation command) specifying the pending number of the first and second special view start pending number information stored in the main control RAM 60c is main It is configured not to be input from the control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a. Therefore, in the effect control power-on process, the pending display of the first and second rendering special display pending areas 201 and 202 is displayed regardless of the number of pending special drawing start pending numbers stored in the main control RAM 60c. The effect control CPU 65a controls so as to indicate the minimum holding number (ie, "0"). As a result, the suspension display of the first and second special-image suspension display areas 201 and 202 does not cause contradiction exceeding the number of suspension of the special map start suspension number information actually stored in the main control RAM 60c. There is. That is, the effect control CPU 65a causes the main control RAM 60c to store the pending display of the effect special display pending display areas 201 and 202 in the effect display unit 17 when the power is restored with the power off during the special view fluctuation. The effect display unit 17 is controlled so as to set the number of holdings of the special drawing start holding number information to an unidentifiable display form.

  Here, in the fluctuating power recovery state in which the fluctuating power-off command is input, the suspension display of the special-purpose graphic reserve display areas 201 and 202 for the effect is not performed special-pattern fluctuation display by the time of power-off. When the special view variation display for the unelapsed time is performed by the special view display parts 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a, the number of pending special drawing start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c is displayed It controls by production control CPU65a so that it may be on hold display. Specifically, the special view variable display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B, and the determination for the next special view is performed based on the special view start reservation number information. The effect control CPU 65a outputs a control command to the display control CPU 70a to control the on-hold display of the on-draw special display area 201, 202 to coincide with the on-hold number in the on-image start on-hold number information. Here, at the output timing of the special figure fluctuation pattern specification command from main control CPU 60a, the first number indicating the number of pending first and second special figure start pending number information stored in main control RAM 60c after the special figure determination is made. The second special drawing reserve number specification command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and the special control CPU 65a determines the number of special view start reservations specified based on the special figure reserve number specification command. It is configured to control the effect special display reserve display areas 201 and 202 of the effect display unit 17 so as to be a reserve display in accordance with the number of reserve information. As described above, when the display of the effect display unit 17 is switched from the image being restored, the special display start of the special display reserve display areas 201 and 202 in the effect display unit 17 is accurately displayed. It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying the hold number of the hold number information.

  Further, in the suspension display of the special-character production suspension display areas 201 and 202 in the embodiment, the special-image fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed by the special-image display units 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a. In the meanwhile, the pachinko ball wins a prize to the first or second start winning portion 31, 32 (when a predetermined condition is established in a state where a special figure determination is not made after power recovery), the main It controls by production control CPU65a to make it the pending | holding display which displays the number of pending | holding of the special figure start pending number information which control RAM60c memorize | stores. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a inputs the first or second special view hold number specification command to the effect control CPU 65a in response to the pachinko ball winning to the first or second start winning portion 31, 32. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to hold a special display for effect display section 17 so as to be a hold display in accordance with the hold number of the special view start hold number information specified based on the special view hold number specification command. The display areas 201 and 202 are configured to be controlled. That is, when there is a winning on the first start winning portion 31 while the special drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed, the first special drawing starting updated with the winning as a trigger. The first special drawing pending number specification command indicating the pending number of pending number information is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and based on this, the pending display of the first effect special view pending display area 201 is the first special view It is controlled to match the pending number of start pending number information. In addition, when there is a winning on the second start winning portion 32 while the special drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed, the second special drawing starting updated with the relevant winning as a trigger The second special view hold number specification command indicating the hold number of the hold number information is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and based on this, the hold display of the second effect special view hold display area 202 is the second special view It is controlled to match the pending number of start pending number information. That is, the effect control CPU 65a controls the production control CPU 65a to display the number of holdings of the special view start hold number information stored in the main control RAM 60c in the special view hold display area 201, 202 before the determination by the special view hit determination unit is performed. Do. In this manner, with the pachinko ball winning in the first or second start winning portion 31, 32, as a trigger to display the hold display of the corresponding special image hold display area 201, 202 for the display correctly, Even in the state where the image during recovery is displayed, the player can recognize that the winning to the first or second start winning portion 31, 32 is effective, and the image during recovery is displayed. It can be made not to give rise to distrust in continuing a game. Further, the first control stored in the main control RAM 60c when there is a winning on any of the first and second start winning portions 31 while the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed. In addition, a special drawing reservation number specification command (first and second special drawing reservation number specification commands) corresponding to each of the reservation numbers of the second special drawing start reservation number information may be input to the effect control CPU 65a. In this case, in response to the pachinko ball winning to either of the first or second start winning portion 31, 32, as a trigger to display the pending display of each of the special effects pending display area 201, 202 for each effect Can.

  Here, when there is a winning on the start winning portion 31, 32 while the special figure fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed, the special figure fluctuation for the unelapsed time as described above After the display is performed on the special view display units 50A and 50B, the hold display of the special view reserve display areas 201 and 202 for effect is added to the number of reserve for the special view start reserve number information updated in consideration of the prize. You may control by production control CPU65a to display. It should be noted that on the occasion that the determination for the next special drawing is performed after the special drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is finished, the holding display of the special drawing holding display area 201, 202 for effect is When making it match with the number of reservations, the number of holdings in the special drawing start reservation number information updated by adding the number of additions of the number of reservations accompanying prize winning and the amount of subtraction of the number of reservations accompanying execution of determination per special drawing It is configured to input a special figure holding number specifying command (first and second special drawing holding number specifying commands) to be specified to the effect control CPU 65a. In this manner, after the special view variation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display units 50A and 50B, the main control RAM 60c stores the temporary display of the special view reserve display areas 201 and 202 for effect. In order to match the number held in the figure start reservation number information, the power recovery state during fluctuation (state in which the image during recovery is displayed) and the recovery state where normal game effects are performed from the power recovery state during fluctuation, It can be clearly distinguished. That is, in this configuration, the effect control CPU 65a displays the effect special display reserve display area 201 when there is a winning on the start winning portions 31 and 32 in a state where the special drawing determination is not performed after power recovery. , 202 are controlled so as to make the number of holdings of the special drawing start holding number information stored in the main control RAM 60 c into an unidentifiable form until the judgment by the special drawing hit judging means is performed, Triggered by the special prize winning determination being made after winning in the start winning portion 31, 32, the number of pending special information start pending number information stored in the main control RAM 60c after the determination is displayed special effect for pending Control is made to display in the areas 201 and 202.

(Regarding the rendering symbol for the common drawing in the effect display section 17)
Further, when the initial start designation command and the power off / return command are input from the main control CPU 60a in the power control process for effect control, a schematic drawing of the effect display unit 17 based on the initial value stored in the effect control ROM 70b. The control command is output to the display control CPU 70a so that the display state of the variation effect display area 205 is in the initial setting state, and various settings are performed based on the initial values stored in the effect control ROM 70b. Start up Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the control command for displaying the generic drawing production symbol determined as the initial symbol in the common drawing variation effect display area 205 of the effect display unit 17 is output to the display control CPU 70a, The effect control CPU 65a executes control so that a general drawing effect symbol as an initial symbol is displayed in the general drawing change effect display area 205 in the effect display unit 17. In the embodiment, "-" indicating a deviation of the common drawing is defined as the common drawing effect symbol of the initial symbol displayed in the common drawing change effect display area 205. Therefore, when the power on / off recovery command is input regardless of whether the initial startup specification command is input or the special view fluctuation or the spread view fluctuation display is performed at the time of power off, the effect control CPU 65 a Based on the control, the display control CPU 70a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 so as to display the same generic drawing effect pattern in the general view change effect display area 205 of the effect display unit 17. In addition, effect control CPU 65a is for generalization in the display area 205 for general-use variation effect according to the timing when the special-design effect design is displayed in the stop display area 27 of each symbol row 26a, 26b, 26c in the effect display section 17. It is comprised so that a production | presentation pattern may be displayed.

(About the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300)
When the initial control designation command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the processing for power on for presentation control, the presentation control CPU 65a displays each display unit 301 of the auxiliary display unit 300 based on the initial value stored in the presentation control ROM 70b. , 302, 303, 304, and 305 are controlled to be in the initial setting state. Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, when the initial start designation command is input, each display unit 301, 302, 303, 304, 305 of the auxiliary display unit 300 is set to a predetermined one. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the display mode. In the embodiment, the effect control CPU 65a controls the display units 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 of the auxiliary display unit 300 to turn off (non-displayed). Here, as described above, in the special view variation auxiliary display units 301 and 302, when the special view supplementary symbol is displayed as the misplacement display by lighting with a light emission color (for example, blue) different from the hit display. The display state of the special view variation auxiliary display portions 301 and 302 at power recovery is different from the special view auxiliary symbol as the off display. In addition, when the special figure assistance symbol is displayed as a deviation display by turning off (not displaying) the special figure variation assistance display unit 301, 302, the special figure variation assistance display unit 301 during power recovery, The unlit state of 302 becomes the same display form as the special figure assistance symbol as the said disappointing display. Here, the light-off state of the special-graph hold auxiliary display unit 303, 304 indicates that the number of holdings of the first and second special-figure start-hold number information is "0" or the state where the hold number can not be specified. It is. On the other hand, the unlit state of the common drawing variation auxiliary display unit 305 is a display form different from the display form of the hit or off set as the common drawing auxiliary symbol. In this manner, therefore, by setting the display units 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 of the auxiliary display unit 300 to the unlit state, it is possible to indicate that the pachinko machine 10 is powered on. It can be identified from the display state of the display unit 300.

  That is, as described above, the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, when the determination of the per-special-character determination is the determination result of the removal, the off-display by the special drawing effect symbol that can be displayed on the effect display unit 17 (symbol A plurality of displays different in display form as a combination of) are set, and at least one display form (that is, extinguished) is set as an off display by the special view assist symbol that can be displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300. Then, when the main control board 60 is operated from the initial state (in the case of the RAM clear) when the power is restored with the power cut off (power cut off at the stop) generated during the stop of the special view fluctuation display The off display (combination of the special design effect symbols for "3", "7", and "5" mentioned above) by the special design effect symbol displayed on 17 and the power supply interruption generated during the fluctuation of the special pattern fluctuation display (during fluctuation) It differs from the off display (combination of special design effect symbols for "5", "7" and "3" described above) displayed on the effect display section 17 when the power is restored along with the power failure). While being configured to be in the display mode, the special display auxiliary symbol displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300 at power off at the time of the stop, and the special display auxiliary symbol displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300 at power off during fluctuation The display mode is configured to be in the same state (off state) .

  In addition, when the power-off command during fluctuation is input (in the case of power recovery due to power-off generated during special-figure fluctuation), the auxiliary special-figure fluctuation display performed before the power-off turns off after the power-off. It will not be done when the power is restored. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the power is restored due to the power interruption generated during the special drawing fluctuation, based on the unelapsed time within the special drawing fluctuation time determined before the occurrence of the power interruption. The main control CPU 60a controls the display of the special view display portions 50A, 50 so that the special view variation display is performed, and the display states of the special view rendering symbol and the special view assist symbol are different from before the occurrence of the power-off. The effect control CPU 65a controls the display of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300.

  Further, the effect control CPU 65a similarly applies each power of the auxiliary display unit 300 based on the initial value stored in the effect control ROM 70b even when the power off / return command is input from the main control CPU 60a in the effect control power on process. Control is performed so that the display states of the display units 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 become the initial setting state. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the effect control CPU 65a causes the display units 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 of the auxiliary display unit 300 to turn off when the initial start designation command is input. It is supposed to control. Therefore, the display state of at least a part of the display units (the common view variation assistance display unit 305) is normally displayed by turning off the display units 301, 302, 303, 304, and 305 of the auxiliary display unit 300. Different from the embodiment, it is possible to identify from the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300 that the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 10 with a screwed hand. As described above, the effect control CPU 65a according to the embodiment performs control such that the display state of the effect display unit 17 is different depending on whether the initial start designation command is input or the power failure recovery command is input. On the other hand, in each case, control is performed such that the display state of the auxiliary display unit 300 is the same.

  Further, when a power-off command during fluctuation is input, the effect control CPU 65a causes the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time to be performed, as in the special drawing effect symbol of the effect display unit 17. In the meantime, the special display auxiliary symbol is controlled so as not to be variably displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300. That is, in the case of the power recovery state during fluctuation, confusion of the player is prevented by preventing the fluctuation effect by the special drawing assist symbol from being performed in the state where the image during recovery is displayed. Then, when the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B and the next special view fluctuation display is performed, the auxiliary display portion 300 is displayed based on the special view fluctuation pattern designation command. The effect control CPU 65a controls the special drawing auxiliary symbol to be changed and stopped. That is, when power is restored in response to the power interruption generated during the special figure fluctuation, the effect is displayed in the fluctuation time of the special figure fluctuation display triggered by the execution of the determination per special drawing by the main control CPU 60a after the power restoration. The effect control CPU 65 a is configured to control the display units 17 and 300 so as to synchronize the special drawing effect symbol on the display unit 17 and the change and stop display of the special drawing auxiliary symbol on the auxiliary display unit 300. .

  Here, in the above, the special figure auxiliary symbol as a power recovery symbol in the case of power recovery in the case of power failure during special figure fluctuation, the power recovery in the case of power recovery due to power failure at the stop of special figure fluctuation display Although it is made the same form as the special figure assistance symbol (that is, the extinguished state) as a symbol, a special power recovery symbol can be set in the case of a power recovery due to the power failure at the time of fluctuation of the special view fluctuation display. That is, when power is restored in response to the power interruption generated during the special figure fluctuation, the effect control CPU 65a controls the display of the auxiliary display unit 300 so that the special figure auxiliary symbol can not be identified. can do. Specifically, in the case of power recovery due to power interruption during the special figure fluctuation, the auxiliary display is a symbol different from the special figure auxiliary symbol used for the auxiliary special figure fluctuation display performed in the auxiliary display unit 300 as the auxiliary figure symbol. It is controlled by the effect control CPU 65 a so as to be displayed on the unit 300. As this recovery symbol, the LEDs of the special figure variation auxiliary display section 301, 302 are made to emit light in a color that does not emit light in the auxiliary special figure variation display, or the interval or pattern of blinking and blinking in the auxiliary special figure variation display Differently, it is possible to set the color and blinking form of the LED to a power recovery symbol displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300 in the case of power recovery due to power failure during special figure fluctuation. In addition, when a liquid crystal display device or a display device of a dot matrix type is adopted as the special display variation auxiliary display portions 301, 302 like the effect display portion 17, characters, symbols, characters, etc. other than color or blinking form are assisted. It can be a power recovery symbol to be displayed on the display unit 300. As described above, displaying a dedicated power recovery symbol makes it possible to easily identify that power recovery has occurred in response to the power failure during the special figure fluctuation. Furthermore, by setting a dedicated power recovery symbol to be displayed in the case of power recovery due to power interruption during the special figure fluctuation for each of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300, the power supply during the special figure fluctuation. There is an advantage that it is easier to determine that the power recovery has occurred with the interruption.

  When a special power recovery symbol to be displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300 is set in the case of power recovery due to power interruption during the special figure fluctuation, the main control CPU 60a performs a special figure hit determination after the power recovery. Is configured to be controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so as to perform an auxiliary special view variation display with a normal special view auxiliary symbol in the auxiliary display unit 300. That is, when the main control CPU 60a determines that the special control is performed after the power recovery, the effect is displayed during the variation time of the special view fluctuation display triggered by the execution of the special control determination by the main control CPU 60a after the power recovery. The effect control CPU 65 a is configured to control the display units 17 and 300 so as to synchronize the special view effect symbol on the display unit 17 and the change and stop display of the special view assist symbol on the auxiliary display unit 300. In other words, the auxiliary display unit 300 performs auxiliary special view fluctuation display using a normal special view auxiliary symbol so that the special display effect pattern in the effect display unit 17 can be identified as being changed. It has become.

  Then, the effect control CPU 65 a assists the display to indicate a specific hold number in the effect control power-on process (initially set state, fluctuating stop power recovery state and fluctuating stop power recovery state). It controls the display of the first and second special view holding assistance display portions 303 and 304 of the display portion 300. Specifically, the effect control CPU 65a controls the on-hold display of each of the special-image on-hold auxiliary display portions 303 and 304 to be on-hold display when the on-hold number is “0”. That is, in the embodiment, in the power-on process for effect control, the pending display of the special view pending auxiliary display portions 303 and 304 is minimized, regardless of the pending number of the special view start pending number information stored in the main control RAM 60c. The effect control CPU 65a controls so as to indicate a number (that is, "0"). As a result, the suspension display of the special view suspension assisting display portions 303 and 304 does not cause contradiction exceeding the number of suspension of the special diagram start suspension number information actually stored in the main control RAM 60c. That is, the effect control CPU 65a causes the main control RAM 60c to store the hold display of the special view hold auxiliary display units 303 and 304 in the auxiliary display unit 300 when the power is restored due to the power interruption during the special view fluctuation. The effect display unit 17 is controlled so as to set the number of holdings of the figure starting holding number information to an unidentifiable display form.

  Further, in the power recovery state during fluctuation when the power fluctuation command for power fluctuation is input, the suspension display of the special view storage auxiliary display portions 303 and 304 is not yet performed for which special view fluctuation display is not performed by the time of power shutdown. A hold display for displaying the number of holdings of the special view start hold number information stored in the main control RAM 60c when the special view fluctuation display for the time is performed by the special view display units 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a. It is controlled by the effect control CPU 65a so as to be. Specifically, the special view variable display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B, and the determination for the next special view is performed based on the special view start reservation number information. The effect control CPU 65a controls the holding display of the special drawing holding auxiliary display portions 303 and 304 to match the holding number of the special drawing start holding number information. Here, at the output timing of the special figure fluctuation pattern specification command from main control CPU 60a, the first number indicating the number of pending first and second special figure start pending number information stored in main control RAM 60c after the special figure determination is made. The second special drawing reserve number specification command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and the special control CPU 65a determines the number of special view start reservations specified based on the special figure reserve number specification command. It is configured to control the special view holding assistance display units 303 and 304 of the effect display unit 17 so as to be the holding display in accordance with the holding number of information. As described above, when the display of the effect display unit 17 switches from the image being restored, the special display start auxiliary display unit 303, 304 in the effect display unit 17 accurately displays the stop display of the special view hold auxiliary display unit 303, It is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying the number of held information.

  Moreover, while the special display fluctuation display of the unelapsed time is performed by the special view display units 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a, the special display suspension display units 303 and 304 of the embodiment perform the suspension display The main control is triggered when the pachinko ball wins the first or second start-up winning portion 31, 32 (when the predetermined condition is established in a state where the special drawing determination is not made after power recovery), the main control The effect control CPU 65a controls the hold display of the special view start hold number information stored in the RAM 60c so as to be identifiably displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 60a inputs the first or second special view hold number specification command to the effect control CPU 65a in response to the pachinko ball winning to the first or second start winning portion 31, 32. It is constituted, production control CPU65a, the special figure reservation assistance indication of production indicatory department 17 to become the reservation indication which is matched to the reservation number of the special figure starting reservation number information which is specified on the basis of the particular figure reservation number designated command It is configured to control the units 303 and 304. That is, when there is a winning on the first start winning portion 31 while the special drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed, the first special drawing starting updated with the winning as a trigger. The first special view hold number specification command indicating the hold number of the hold number information is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and based on this, the hold display of the first special view hold auxiliary display unit 303 starts the first special view It is controlled to match with the number of pending of pending number information. In addition, when there is a winning on the second start winning portion 32 while the special drawing fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed, the second special drawing starting updated with the relevant winning as a trigger The second special view hold number specification command indicating the hold number of the hold number information is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and based on this, the hold display of the second special view hold auxiliary display unit 304 starts the second special view It is controlled to match with the number of pending of pending number information. In other words, the effect control CPU 65a controls the special view hold auxiliary display unit 303, 304 to display the number of pending special view start hold information stored in the main control RAM 60c before the determination by the special view hit determination unit is performed. .

  In this way, recovery is achieved by accurately displaying the hold display of the corresponding special view hold auxiliary display unit 303, 304 in response to the pachinko ball winning in the first or second start winning unit 31, 32. Even if the middle image is displayed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the winning to the first or second start winning portion 31, 32 is effective, and the game is performed with the image being displayed being displayed. Not to give rise to distrust in continuing. Further, the first control stored in the main control RAM 60c when there is a winning on any of the first and second start winning portions 31 while the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is being performed. In addition, a special drawing reservation number specification command (first and second special drawing reservation number specification commands) corresponding to each of the reservation numbers of the second special drawing start reservation number information may be input to the effect control CPU 65a. In this case, with the pachinko ball winning in any of the first or second start winning portions 31, 32, it is possible to accurately display the hold display of each special view hold auxiliary display portion 303, 304. it can.

  As described above, when there is a winning on the start winning portion 31, 32 while the special figure variation display for the unelapsed time is being performed, the special figure variation display for the non-elapsed time is After being performed in the figure display units 50A and 50B, the holding display of the special drawing holding auxiliary display units 303 and 304 is made to display the holding number of the special drawing start holding number information updated in consideration of the winnings. You may control by effect control CPU65a. The special display hold auxiliary display section 303, 304 holds the display of the special view start hold number information triggered by the determination that the next special view is determined after the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is finished. When making it agree with the number, the number of holdings of the special drawing start number of holdings information updated by adding the number of additions of the number of holdings with winnings and the number of holdings of number of holdings with the execution of judgment per special drawing It is comprised so that special figure reservation number designation | designated command (1st and 2nd special figure reservation number designation | designated command) may be input into production control CPU65a. As described above, after the special view variation display for the unelapsed time is performed on the special view display units 50A and 50B, the special view in which the main control RAM 60c stores the reserve display of the special view reserve auxiliary display units 303 and 304. When making it match with the number of pending start number information, it is clear in the power recovery state during fluctuation (state where the image during recovery is displayed) and the recovery state where normal game effects are performed from the power recovery state during fluctuation. Can be distinguished.

  In addition, when power loss occurs in the state of notifying an error, the effect control CPU 65a displays the error displayed at the time of power loss in the effect control power-on process at power-on (power recovery) after the power-off. It is configured not to perform notification. That is, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to hide the error notification displayed in the first to third error display areas 401, 402, and 403 when the power is turned off. As described above, the effect control CPU 65a hides the error notification displayed in the error display areas 401, 402, and 403 in response to the power-off, and the power-off command during change (predetermined control signal) is input. In this case, control is performed so that the display states of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 are different from those before the occurrence of the power-off. That is, when the power is restored in response to the power interruption generated during the fluctuation of the special drawing, the first specific error notification displayed at the time of the power interruption is not performed, and the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary By making the display state of the display unit 300 different from that before the occurrence of the power-off, it is possible to easily identify that the error has been eliminated and that the power has been restored due to the power-off. As described above, when the power is restored with the power interruption generated during the fluctuation of the special figure, the main control CPU 60a operates in the game information display section M (special figure display sections 50A, 50B) based on the unelapsed time. By displaying the image during recovery while displaying the special view in a variable manner, it is possible to accurately identify that the error has been eliminated by the recovery from the power failure.

  Here, when the error state has not been resolved even after the power recovery (when the detection signal is input to the main control CPU 60a from any of the error detection sensors ST1 to ST5), the main control is performed based on the unelapsed time. While the CPU 60a variably displays the special drawing in the game information display unit M (special view display units 50A, 50B), an error designation command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a. Then, when the error specified by the input error designation command is the first specific error (main board error, magnetic detection sensor error, radio wave detection sensor error, vibration detection sensor error), the effect control CPU 65a The system is configured to hide the image during recovery and to execute notification corresponding to an error. Further, when the error specified by the input error designation command is the second or third specific error (full error or front frame open error), the effect control CPU 65a displays the image during recovery The error notification is configured to be performed in the error notification areas 402 and 403 corresponding to each error in the state. As described above, when the error state is not resolved even after the power recovery, the notification according to each error is performed to prompt appropriate measures, and the game is performed with the error not eliminated. Is supposed to prevent.

  Further, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to execute an initial movable process to check whether each movable body 110, 120 operates normally in the effect control power-on process at the time of power-on (during power recovery). In the initial movement process of the embodiment, the return movement process for returning the movable bodies 110 and 120 to the initial position, and the predetermined movement (for example, from the initial position to the movable position to the initial position) An operation confirmation process of executing a return operation) is performed. In addition, when power is returned due to the power interruption generated while operating the first movable body 110, 120, the effect control CPU 65a displays the game information display based on the unelapsed time, when the main control CPU 60a performs power recovery. While the special view is variably displayed in the section M (special view display units 50A, 50B), the movable bodies 110, 120 are controlled to be stopped at the initial position. That is, while displaying the image during recovery on the effect display unit 17, the movable bodies 110 and 120 are configured to be stopped at the initial position.

  In addition, effect control CPU 65a, the special view fluctuation display for the unelapsed time for which the special view fluctuation display is not performed by the time of power off was performed by the special view display unit 50A, 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a In some cases, the movable bodies 110 and 120 are configured to allow movement. That is, after the special figure fluctuation display for the unelapsed time is performed in the special figure display parts 50A and 50B, the effect is executed triggered by the special figure hitting determination being performed based on the special figure start reservation information. In such a case, the effect control CPU 65a operates the movable bodies 110 and 120 in accordance with the effect. Specifically, when the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect pattern for operating the movable bodies 110, 120 based on the special view fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a triggered by the special view hit determination performed after power recovery The movable bodies 110 and 120 are operated based on the effect pattern. Thus, by holding the movable bodies 110 and 120 at the initial position until the unelapsed time elapses, the special view is variably displayed based on the unelapsed time before the occurrence of the power failure, and the image during recovery is displayed. It is possible to prevent the movable bodies 110 and 120 from operating during the operation, and to prevent the integrity of the effect from being lost. Then, when the determination is made that the special drawing is performed after the power recovery, the movable objects 110 and 120 operate in a state in which the image during recovery is not displayed, thereby performing an entertaining movable effect linked to the effect. It is supposed to get.

  That is, in this case, the effect control CPU 65a causes the special figure holding assistance display portion 303, when there is a winning on the start winning portion 31, 32 in a state where the special drawing determination is not performed after the power recovery. The pending display of 304 is controlled so as to make the pending number of the special view start pending number information stored in the main control RAM 60 c in an unidentifiable form until the determination by the special view hitting determining means is made, and the starting winning combination In response to the determination that a special drawing hit is made after winning a prize in parts 31 and 32, the number of holdings of the special drawing start holding number information stored in the main control RAM 60c after the determination is a special drawing holding auxiliary display 303, It is controlled to display at 304.

  That is, the main control CPU 60a included in the main control board 60 of the embodiment is a hit determination means that performs hit determination whether or not to cause a hit game to be triggered upon establishment of the start condition (winning to the start winning portions 31, 32). The main control CPU 60a is provided with the function as. Further, the main control CPU 60a has a function as a winning game awarding means for granting a determined type of hit game after the special figure change display end (after the symbol change production end). That is, when the main control CPU 60a as the judging means determines that the pachinko machine 10 is hit with the ball detection by the start winning detection sensors SE1 and SE2 as the start winning detection means, the main control CPU 60a determines The special opening / closing members 41b and 42b as opening / closing means open the special winning openings 41a and 42a on the basis of the type of winning game, and execute the winning game. The main control CPU 60a is triggered by the ball detection of the start winning combination detection sensor SE1, SE2 as the start winning combination detection means, the variation of the symbol variation effect performed in the display means (special view display unit 50A, 50B, effect display unit 17) It has a function as fluctuation pattern determination means for determining a fluctuation pattern (special pattern fluctuation pattern) for specifying time from among a plurality of fluctuation patterns stored in the main control ROM 60b as storage means.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a has a function as determination means (error determination means) for determining the occurrence of an error based on detection signals output from the various detection sensors SE3, ST1 to ST5 included in the pachinko machine 10 . The effect display unit 17 has a function as notification means (error notification means) capable of executing an error notification capable of specifying an error of the determined type when the main control CPU 60a as the determination means determines that an error occurs. Have. Further, the effect control CPU 65a causes the effect display unit 17 as notification means to execute an error notification capable of specifying an error of the determined type when the main control CPU 60a as the determination means determines that an error occurs. Has a function as notification control means for controlling the effect display unit 17.

  The effect control CPU 65a functions as a special drawing effect symbol determining means for determining a special drawing effect symbol to be displayed on the effect display unit 17 on the basis of a determination result of the main control CPU 60a as a hit determining means. It functions as effect display control means for controlling the effect display unit 17 so as to stop and display the selected special effect rendering symbol. Further, the effect control CPU 65a determines an effect pattern specifying the effect content of the symbol variation effect to be performed by the effect display unit 17 from among a plurality of types, triggered by the acquisition of winning information by the main control CPU 60a (establishment of start condition). Function as a production pattern determination means. Further, the effect control CPU 65a as effect pattern determination means determines an effect pattern based on the special figure fluctuation pattern determined by the main control CPU 60a. The lamp device 18 and the speaker 19 have a function as notification means (error notification means) for executing error notification for specifying a plurality of types of errors based on the error information output from the main control CPU 60a as the determination means. Equipped with

(Operation of the embodiment)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment will be described.

  When the player rotates the operation lever 16a of the operation handle 16 provided on the front side of the front frame 13, a pachinko ball fired from the ball striking device is launched into the game area 21. At this time, the launch position of the pachinko ball changes according to the amount of rotation of the control lever 16a, and the pachinko ball flows down the first ball flow down path 21a or the second ball flow down path 21b of the game area 21 according to the launch position. . When the pachinko ball flowing down the ball flow paths 21a and 21b wins the first starting winning opening 31a or the second starting winning opening 32a, the first starting winning detection sensor SE1 or the second starting winning detection sensor SE2 In response to the ball detection, the main control CPU 60a acquires various information (various random number information), based on the acquired winning information, determination is made for a special figure, and the determination for the special figure is based on a determination result for each piece. In response, the symbol variation effect on the effect display unit 17 is started. Then, the special figure hit determination becomes the determination result of the hit, and as a result of the symbol variation effect, when the special figure effect symbol is displayed on the effect display unit 17 in a predetermined symbol combination, a big hit game is generated.

  At the same time as the pachinko ball flowing down the game area 21 wins the first start winning portion 31 and the symbol display effect by the special drawing effect symbol is performed in the effect display portion 17, the first special view fluctuation assist display The LED of the unit 301 blinks (varies) to start the supplementary special view variation display, and the light emission state of the first special figure variation support display unit 301 (turned on or lighted at the same time as the special pattern variation representation by the special figure rendering symbol is finished. Lights off) is confirmed (variation stop), and the auxiliary special view variation display ends. Further, at the same time when the second start winning portion 52 of the start winning portion 51, 52 wins and symbol variation effect is performed in the effect display portion 17, the LED of the second special view change assist display portion 302 blinks to assist Special figure fluctuation display is started, the light emission state (lighting or extinguishing) of the second special figure fluctuation auxiliary display 302 is decided (variation stop) at the same time as symbol fluctuation production by the special figure production symbol is finished, the auxiliary special The figure fluctuation display ends. The first special view variation auxiliary display unit 301 starts to change (flash) simultaneously with the start of the first special view variation display of the first special view display unit 50A, and simultaneously with the end of the first special view variation display. The light emission state of the LED is determined, and the special view auxiliary symbol is displayed on the determined stop. On the other hand, the second special figure variation auxiliary display unit 302 starts to be changed (flashing) simultaneously with the start of the second special figure variation display of the second special figure display unit 50B, and the end of the second special figure variation display At the same time, the light emission state of the LED is determined, and the special figure assist symbol is displayed on the determined stop. That is, the fluctuation start and fluctuation stop of the special drawing auxiliary symbols of the special drawing fluctuation auxiliary display portions 301 and 302 are synchronized with the fluctuation start and fluctuation stop of the special drawing effect symbol in the effect display portion 17, and the special drawing display portion 50A , 50B are controlled by the effect control CPU 65a in synchronization with the start of fluctuation and stop of fluctuation of the special view. As described above, in synchronization with the fluctuation and stop display of the special view in the special view display units 50A and 50B, the special display effect symbol and the special view support symbol in the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 are changed and stopped. By displaying, it is possible to accurately identify whether the special view is in a fluctuating state also from the display state of either of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300.

  As described above, in the case where the special design effect symbol temporarily stops in the symbol variation effect performed in the effect display unit 17 or the special pattern effect symbol is temporarily not displayed according to the effect content. Even if the special view variation display performed in the first or second special view display units 50A and 50B continues, the corresponding special view variation auxiliary display units 301 and 302 continue to blink until the special view variation display is completed. It is possible to easily confirm whether or not the symbol variation effect (special figure variation display) is continuing by confirming the special figure variation auxiliary display portions 301 and 302. At this time, the auxiliary special figure fluctuation display (special figure auxiliary design) performed in the special figure fluctuation auxiliary display parts 301 and 302 is much smaller and less noticeable compared to the special drawing effect symbol displayed on the effect display part 17 By displaying in the state, even if the special drawing auxiliary symbol is variably displayed, the player's interest can be directed to the effect performed in the effect display unit 17, which impairs the interest of the symbol fluctuation effect There is nothing to do. That is, by providing the special view variation assistance display units 301 and 302 separately from the effect display unit 17 that executes the symbol variation effect by changing the special view production symbol, the effect performed by the effect display unit 17 is Without being restricted by the special drawing assist symbol, it becomes possible to enhance the freedom of presentation and the sense of unity of the presentation, and it is possible to improve the interest of the game.

  That is, the special view is configured to be displayed on the special view display units 50A and 50B based on the control of the main control CPU 60a, and in each of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300, gaming information related to the special view (special The special effect display pattern 50A, 50B is displayed from any display of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 by configuring to display the effect pattern and the special view assist symbol) based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a. It is possible to identify information related to whether or not the special map displayed on the screen is in motion. For this reason, even when the movable bodies 110 and 120 are moved so as to overlap with the front side of the display area (the symbol rows 26a, 26b and 26c) of the special design effect symbols provided in the effect display unit 17, the special view fluctuation display Since it can be identified from the special drawing auxiliary symbol of the auxiliary display unit 300 whether it is being performed, it is possible to increase the freedom of the effect using the effect display unit 17 and the movable bodies 110 and 120, which makes the game interesting It can be improved.

  Further, by positioning the auxiliary display unit 300 on the front side of the movable area of the movable bodies 110 and 120, the visibility of the special view auxiliary symbol can be enhanced even when the movable bodies 110 and 120 are movable. Then, by configuring the movable areas of the movable bodies 110 and 120 so as to overlap with the display areas (the symbol rows 26a, 26b, 26c) of the special design effect symbols indicating the determination result of the special figure hit determination, the movable body 110, The interaction between the operation of 120 and the symbol variation effect by the special pattern effect symbol enables a game effect with a high effect effect, and the player's interest in the judgment result of the determination of the special pattern hit displayed by the special pattern effect symbol Can be enhanced. In addition, since it is possible to enhance the sense of unity between the effect by the special display effect symbol etc. displayed on the effect display unit 17 and the effect by the operation of the movable bodies 110 and 120 and to increase the freedom of each effect, We can plan improvement of interest.

  Here, the movable bodies 110 and 120 of the embodiment overlap on the front side of the auxiliary display unit 300 (the special view fluctuation auxiliary display units 301 and 302, the special view suspension auxiliary display units 303 and 304, and the common view fluctuation auxiliary display unit 305). Since the movable body 110 is configured not to move at the position, the auxiliary display unit 300 (the special view variation auxiliary display unit 301, 302, the special view suspension auxiliary display unit 303, 304, the common view variation auxiliary display unit 305) It is possible to prevent the displayed information from being blocked by the operation of the movable bodies 110 and 120. For this reason, regardless of whether or not the movable body 110 is operated, it is possible to accurately determine the division of the special figure fluctuation display (design fluctuation presentation) by the display state of the special drawing fluctuation auxiliary display unit 301, 302. Similarly, it is possible to accurately determine the break of the common drawing fluctuation display based on the display state of the common drawing fluctuation assisting display unit 305. Then, regardless of whether the movable body 110 is operated or not, it is possible to accurately determine the number of holdings of the special drawing start holding number information based on the display state of the special drawing holding assistance display portions 303 and 304. That is, since it is possible to identify whether the special drawing is in a changing state based on the display state of the special drawing auxiliary symbol displayed on the auxiliary display unit 300 visible when the movable bodies 110 and 120 are operated, the movable Even when it becomes impossible to view all or a part of the special design effect symbol in accordance with the operation of the body 110, 120, the player is prevented from mistakenly recognizing the timing for displaying the determination result of the special figure determination. And prevent the loss of the interest of the game. Therefore, the information based on the control of the main control CPU 60a that determines whether or not a hit is realized while realizing the execution of the effect with high effect using the effect display unit 17 and the movable bodies 110 and 120, the effect display unit 17 and It can be identified from any display of the auxiliary display unit 300.

  In the case of the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a determines that the occurrence of the first specific error (main board error, magnetic detection sensor error, radio wave detection sensor error, vibration detection sensor error) with high degree of urgency In addition, it is difficult to continue the normal game by making it impossible to identify the special design effect symbol indicating the determination result of the special drawing determination by the error notification (full screen error display) displayed on the effect display unit 17. It is possible to prevent the game from being continued with the first specific error occurring. On the other hand, even if it is in a state where the special design effect symbol can not be identified due to the error notification (full screen error display), the auxiliary display indicates whether or not the special drawing is changing due to the execution of the determination per special drawing. Since it can be identified from the display state of the special drawing auxiliary symbol in the section 300, it is possible to prevent the player from being confused unnecessarily. In addition, it is not possible to distinguish the special design effect design by displaying the determination result of the special view hit determination (hit or out) with the special display assist symbol that has been variably stopped on the auxiliary display unit 300. However, it is possible to notify the judgment result of the judgment per special drawing. In addition, when it is determined that the first specific error with a high degree of urgency has occurred, a first error display area overlapping the entire area of the display surface 17a of the effect display unit 17 on which the special design effect pattern should be displayed. By displaying an error in 401, it is possible to promptly and surely inform the player or the gaming staff that the first specific error has occurred, and to prompt prompt action.

On the other hand, pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the urgency is generated and main control CPU60a relatively low second specific error (full error) is determined, the variation for JP Figure performance symbols Since the error notification (small screen error display) is displayed on the effect display unit 17 in a form that allows identification of the state, and the occurrence of the second specific error is notified, the second error notification is generated by the error notification. It is possible to show the determination result of the per-special-image determination by the special-pattern effect symbol in the effect display unit 17 while promoting the handling of the specific error. That is, by making it possible to visually recognize the display of the effect display unit 17 in which various effects are performed, it is possible to prevent the effect of the effect of the effect performed in the effect display unit 17 from being unnecessarily lowered by the error notification. Can be maintained. In addition, even if the visibility of the display of the effect display unit 17 (the fluctuation state of the special design effect pattern) is lowered due to the error display, whether or not the special drawing is changed due to the execution of the judgment per special drawing Can be identified from the display state of the special view auxiliary symbol in the auxiliary display unit 300.

  In addition, when it is determined that the second specific error whose degree of urgency is relatively low occurs, the effect display unit 17 displays a special drawing effect pattern in the display area (pattern row 26a, 26b, 26c). By displaying an error in the second error display area 402 overlapping a part, an error display can be displayed together with the special design effect pattern, and when the player pays attention to the special function effect pattern The fact that the error display is in the field of view makes it possible to effectively notify that the second specific error has occurred. Here, in the stop display area 27 within the display area (pattern row 26a, 26b, 26c) in which the special design effect symbol is displayed, the special pattern effect pattern is stopped and displayed along with the end of the symbol variation effect. Since the final result is directly connected to the display of the determination result of the determination per special image, the player's interest is relatively high. For this reason, when an error is displayed in the display area (pattern row 26a, 26b, 26c) for the special figure effect symbol, one of the stop display areas 27 in which the player's interest in the content for the special effect effect symbol displayed is high By configuring the second error display area 402 to overlap the part, it is possible to more effectively report that a specific error has occurred along with the error display. On the contrary, in the display area (pattern row 26a, 26b, 26c) in which the special design effect pattern is displayed, the variable display area 28 indicates whether the special pattern effect pattern is variably displayed, and the final The player's interest is relatively low because it is not directly linked to the determination result of success or failure. For this reason, when displaying an error in the display area (pattern row 26a, 26b, 26c) for the special figure effect symbol, the variation display area in which the player's interest in the content of the special effect effect pattern to be displayed is relatively low. By configuring the error display area 402 to overlap with a portion of 28, it is possible to maintain the player's interest in the effect performed in the effect display section 17 while notifying that the second specific error has occurred by the error display. It can be done.

  In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment produces effects in the case where power is restored with a power failure generated at the time of stopping the special pattern fluctuation, and in the case where power is restored with a power failure generated during the special image fluctuation display, Since the display contents of the display unit 17 (the display timing of the background image and the special design effect pattern, etc.) are different, it is determined from the display of the effect display unit 17 whether or not the power failure occurred during the special view fluctuation display. can do. As described above, by making it possible to determine whether or not the power is off during the special view change display, it is possible to minimize confusion of the player accompanying the power off during the special view change. In addition, when power is restored according to the power interruption generated during the special view fluctuation display, while the special drawing is variably displayed based on the unelapsed time before the occurrence of the power interruption, the special drawing production symbol is not displayed By setting the special power recovery symbol, etc., or by setting the display status of the special pattern production symbol or special pattern assist symbol to be different from that before the power failure, the power has been restored with the power failure. It is possible to distinguish from the display state of special design for special design symbols and special figure auxiliary symbols, and even when the synchronous relationship between the special drawing fluctuation and the special drawing special design symbol and special design auxiliary symbol fluctuations is disturbed due to the power failure. It is possible to prevent a player's mistake and confusion.

  In addition, when power is restored according to the power supply interruption that occurs during the special figure fluctuation display, the special figure effect symbol or the auxiliary indication of the effect display section 17 is triggered by the fact that the special figure is judged after the power recovery. By synchronizing the variation and stop display of the special figure auxiliary symbol of the part 300 with the special figure variation time in which the special figure is variably displayed in the special figure display portions 50A and 50B, the special figure is disturbed due to the occurrence of the power failure. The synchronous relationship between the fluctuation and the fluctuation of the special-drawing effect pattern or the special-figure auxiliary symbol can be returned to the normal state triggered by the determination based on the special-image determination by the main control CPU 60a performed after the power recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to identify whether or not the special view fluctuation display is being performed from the fluctuation state of the special view rendering symbol or the special view assist symbol even after the power is restored with the power supply interruption generated during the special view fluctuation display. Can.

  In addition, the power-off command at stop showing the power-off at the stop of the special view fluctuation display, and the fluctuating power-off command showing the power-off at the time of fluctuation of the special view fluctuation display are set. Whether or not the main control CPU 60a inputs any power-off command from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, and whether or not the power-off occurred in the middle of the special view fluctuation display (during special view fluctuation) Can be distinguished by the effect control CPU 65a. Then, when power is restored in response to the power interruption generated during the special view fluctuation display, a predetermined control signal (power supply during fluctuation) indicating that the power interruption occurs in the middle of the special view fluctuation display (during special view fluctuation) When the disconnection command is input from the main control CPU 60a to the effect control CPU 65a, the power during display is displayed on either of the effect display unit 17 or the auxiliary display unit 300 (in the embodiment, the effect display unit 17). With the interruption, it is possible to accurately identify that the power has been restored, and it is possible to prevent the player from being misidentified or confused even when the synchronization relationship is disturbed. In addition, when the unelapsed time of the special figure fluctuation time determined before the power failure occurs has passed after the power recovery, the image during recovery is not displayed based on the special figure stop designation command input from the main control CPU 60a. By doing this, it is possible to identify that the synchronous relationship between the fluctuation of the special drawing disordered with the occurrence of the power failure and the fluctuation of the special drawing production symbol or the special drawing assistance symbol is returned to the normal state.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when power is restored in response to the power failure generated at the time of the fluctuation stop of the special figure, the special indication production symbol as the initial symbol is displayed on the effect display unit 17 Since the display state of the special design effect symbol displayed on the effect display unit 17 is different from that before the occurrence of the power failure, the display condition of the special pattern effect symbol or that the power is restored due to the power failure. It is distinguishable from the display state of the special figure assistance symbol.
Furthermore, when the main control CPU 60a operates from the initial state based on the initial setting (when the RAM is cleared) and when the power is restored due to a power failure, the special display that is displayed on the effect display unit 17 is displayed. Since the combination of the special design symbols is made different, it is possible to distinguish from the display state of the special pattern special symbol display that the power is restored from the combination of the special graphic special symbols displayed on the special display unit 17. In addition, when power is restored with a power failure that occurs at the time of the fluctuation stop of the special figure, the special figure fluctuation stop by displaying the special figure effect symbol in the display mode that is the off display in the effect display unit 17 What is done can be identified from the display state of the special design effect pattern. Similarly, the special display auxiliary symbol of the auxiliary display unit 300 is displayed by displaying the off-display of the same display form as the special display auxiliary symbol in the auxiliary display unit 300 as in the case of operating the main control CPU 60a from the initial state. It becomes distinguishable from the display state of the special figure assistance symbol that it has stopped changing. In addition, when the special figure auxiliary symbol is not displayed (turned off) at the time of power recovery, it is possible to distinguish from the display state of the special figure auxiliary symbol that the power is restored due to the power failure.

Then, when the main control CPU 60a determines that the special control is performed after the power recovery, the special control feature symbol or the special view assist symbol that is not displayed at the time of the power recovery is displayed. It can be identified from any display of the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 that the special view variation display is being performed along with the per-figure determination.
In addition, the display pattern for special drawing and the special drawing assistance symbol are synchronized and displayed in response to the determination that the special control is determined by the main control CPU 60a after the power recovery, and thus the display form unidentifiable with the power recovery. It is possible to return the special design special design symbol and the special image supplementary design to a normal state.

  In addition, when power is restored along with the power supply interruption that occurs during the special view fluctuation display, the main control RAM 60c identifies the number of reservations for the special view start reservation number information in the hold display on the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300. By setting the disabled mode, it is possible to identify from the display state of the hold display on the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 that power recovery has occurred due to power recovery, and it is possible to prevent a player's misidentification or confusion. Then, when the start condition (the winning to the start winning portion 31, 32) is satisfied after the power recovery, the main control RAM 60c stores the suspension information, and after the start condition is satisfied, the main control RAM 60c By displaying the pending number of the figure start pending number information in the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300, the pending display in the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 is made normal with an unidentifiable display form with the power recovery. It is possible to return to the state as described above, and to determine the number of holdings of the special drawing start holding number information from the holding display.

  In addition, the main control RAM 60c displays the number of pending special drawing start pending number information in the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 after the main control CPU 60a determines that the special control is determined by the main control CPU 60a. Thus, the hold display on the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300, which are in an unidentifiable display form upon power recovery, can be returned to the normal state, and the number of holdings of the special view start hold number information from the hold display. Can be determined.

  In addition, when the start condition (winning to start winning part 31, 32) where main control RAM 60c stores the hold information is satisfied after power recovery, it is triggered by the fact that the main control CPU 60a makes a special figure hit determination thereafter. By displaying on the effect display unit 17 and the auxiliary display unit 300 the pending number of the special view start pending number information stored in the main control RAM 60c after the determination, the state of execution of the game accompanying the special view determination by the main control CPU 60a , And the display state of the pending display can be matched. For this reason, the sense of incongruity between the state of execution of the game accompanying the determination of the special view hit by the main control CPU 60a and the display state of the hold display can be eliminated, and misidentification or confusion of the player can be prevented.
