It is supposed to be. Furthermore, the connecting member 14 fixed to the lower frame plate 11 penetrates the side frame plates 12 and 13 in a state where the vertical piece 18 abuts on the lower inner side surface of the side frame plates 12 and 13 and a predetermined screw The lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected by being screwed into the vertical piece 18, and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 can be connected by the four connecting members 14. , And the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be assembled in a frame shape.

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

  First, the upper support fitting 20 includes a plate-like fixed piece 20a fixed to the upper frame plate 10, a support projection piece 20b projecting forward from the front end of the fixed piece 20a than the front end of the upper frame plate 10, and a support protrusion Support rod hole 20c notched to be bent from the right end near the front end in the piece 20b toward the center of the tip, and the left side frame hanging downward from the left end of the fixed piece 20a and the support protruding piece 20b A plate-like hanging fixing piece 20d (see FIG. 14A) in contact with the outer side surface of the plate 12 and a hanging wall 20e continuous with the hanging fixing piece 20d and hanging along the outer edge of the support protruding piece 20b (figure 14 and a stop drop 20f (see FIG. 15) which is continuous with the drop wall 20e and sloped inward at the inlet end of the support well 20c. A pivot pin 633 (see FIG. 63) of an upper pivot support 630 of the main body frame 3 described later is detachably engaged with the support hook 20c of the upper support fitting 20. Further, the upper support fitting 20 is configured such that the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 can be connected by the fixed piece 20a and the depending fixed piece 20d.

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

  On the other hand, the lower support fitting 21 includes a horizontal fixing piece 21a mounted on and fixed to the reinforcing metal fitting 22, and a vertical fixing piece rising upward from the left end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a and fixed to the inner side surface of the left side frame plate 12. 21b, a plate-like support projection 21c projecting forward from the front end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a beyond the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and a pin shape projecting upward from near the front end of the support projection 21c. And the support protrusion 21d. A main body frame support hole (not shown) formed in a main body frame support bracket 644 (see FIG. 66 etc.) of the main body frame 3 described later is inserted into the support projection 21 d of the lower support fitting 21. After inserting the support projection 21 d of the lower support fitting 21 into the main frame support hole of the main body frame support bracket 644 in the main body frame 3, the support pin 633 of the upper support block 630 of the main body frame 3. The main body frame 3 can be pivotally supported in an openable / closable manner easily by locking the support hole 20c.

  Further, in the outer frame 2 of the present embodiment, as shown in the drawing, two closing plates 24 and 25 arranged at a predetermined distance apart in the vertical direction are attached and fixed inside the side frame plate 13 on the right side. The closing plates 24 and 25 are formed in a substantially L shape in plan view, and the closing plate 25 disposed on the lower side has a rectangular opening 25 a penetrating in the front-rear direction (see FIG. See 9). The closing plates 24 and 25 are hook portions 1054 and 1065 (see FIG. 93) of the lock device 1000 attached along the open side of the body frame 3 when the body frame 3 is closed to the outer frame 2. As described in detail later, by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the lock device 1000 and rotating it to one side, the engagement between the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 is released. The main body frame 3 can be opened relative to the outer frame 2.

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 14 (B) and FIG. 15, when the lock member 27 is supported by the support projecting piece 20b of the upper support fitting 20 (normal state), the tip contact portion of the elastic piece 27c is a hanging wall The stopper portion 27a is in contact with the inner side surface of 20e, and the stopper portion 27a closes a part of the support hole 20c bent in a V-shape, and the tip portion of the stopper portion 27a is the deepest portion of the support hole 20c. The part is not closed, and a space into which the pivot pin 633 of the upper pivot bracket 630 of the main body frame 3 can be inserted is formed at the deepest part of the support pit 20c.

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

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

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

  The operation of the lock member 27 of this embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As a premise of pivotally supporting the body frame 3 to the outer frame 2 so as to be able to open and close, lower support brackets in a body frame shaft support hole (not shown) formed in the body frame shaft support bracket 644 (see FIG. 63) of the body frame 3 It is necessary that 21 support protrusions 21d be inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support bracket 630 of the main body frame 3 is pressed into contact with the side surface of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27. As shown in FIG. 16 (B), since the lock member 27 rotates in the counterclockwise direction while deforming the elastic piece 27c, the pivot pin 633 can be inserted into the support hook 20c. Then, when the pivot pin 633 reaches the deepest portion of the support hook 20c, as shown in FIG. 16C, the lock pin 27 is resilient because the pivot pin 633 does not abut the tip side surface of the stopper portion 27a. The elastic force of the piece 27c urges it to rotate clockwise, and the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 returns to the normal state again to close the entrance portion of the support hole 20c, and at the same time the tip portion of the stopper portion 27a Is opposed to the pivot pin 633 so that the pivot pin 633 does not fall out of the support hook 20c.

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

  As described above, in the outer frame 2 of this example, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 constituting the outer frame of the outer frame 2 are made of wood as in the prior art, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of lightweight metal ( For example, since it is an extrusion type material of aluminum alloy), when installing the pachinko machine 1 in an island facility arranged in a row, it is necessary to perform an operation of fixing at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical surface of the island Although such work is carried out by nailing the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, the nail can be made easy to strike, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily installed in the existing island facility. It can be installed. Further, since the side frame plates 12 and 13 are formed of a lightweight metal (for example, aluminum alloy) as an extrusion-shaped material, it becomes possible to form a thinner wall while maintaining the strength as compared with the conventional wooden outer frame, When viewed from the front of the peripheral wall portion 605 (see FIG. 63 etc.) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the inner side of the side frame boards 12 and 13, the lateral width can be increased. Can be attached to the main unit frame 3, and at the same time, the game area 1100 of the game board 4 can be formed large.

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

A crime prevention member 121 formed in a shallow box shape from the front side is inserted into the crime prevention recess 120. The crime prevention member 121 is formed in a shallow box shape in which the front side is opened by bending a metal plate. Thereby, in order to cheat the inside of the pachinko machine 1, for example, it is possible to make a hole by a thin drill or the like from the joining portion between the side decoration unit 200, 240 and the dish unit 300 as metal. It can be blocked by the crime prevention member 121, so that it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts.

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

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

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

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

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

  When the wiring holding member 197 of this example is rotated in the direction to close the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 extends from the free end side of the wiring cord 196 to the main body frame 3 It is pushed forward by the part, and it will rotate in the direction which approaches the door frame base substrate cover 195 side. Thereby, as the door frame 5 is closed, the free end side of the wiring holding member 197 approaches the door frame base substrate cover 195, and the wiring cord 196 extending from the free end of the wiring holding member 197 to the main frame 3 is free. The bend is large (sharp) near the end. When the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the wiring cord 196 is folded in two in the lateral direction on the free end side of the wiring holding member 197.

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

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

  Further, according to this embodiment, since the wire holding member 197 is formed of a relatively hard and highly rigid synthetic resin, even when a force is applied through the wire cord 196 when the door frame 5 is opened and closed, It is possible to prevent the vertical movement of the wiring cord 196, and to securely fold the wiring cord 196 in the lateral direction to prevent the occurrence of a failure.

  Furthermore, as described above, when the door frame 5 is opened and closed with respect to the main body frame 3, a bridge is placed between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 by the wiring holding member 197. Since a part of the wire is bridged by the wire holding member 197, it is possible to prevent the wire cord 196 from hanging down even if the door frame 5 is opened and closed. The main control board 4100 as a main body side electric device, the peripheral control unit 4140, the payout control board 4110, etc. can be prevented from being caught and broken, or the door frame 5 can not be closed. And door-side electric devices as decorative substrates 214, 216, 254, 256, 288, 290, 322, 430, 432, speakers 130, 222, 262, lend Unit 360, the handle device 500, etc., capital can provide pachinko machine 1 capable of defective wiring cord 196 to be connected to reduce the occurrence as much as possible.

  In addition, a part of the wiring cord 196 is held by the rotatable wiring holding member 197, and even when the wiring cord 196 is forcibly pulled when the door frame 5 is opened, the wiring holding member 197 rotates. Because the force can be released by doing this, it is possible to prevent the wiring cord 196 from being pulled, and a problem such as disconnection of the wiring cord 196 or disconnection of the connection connector may occur. It can be prevented. In addition, since a part of the wiring cord 196 is held by the wiring holding member 197 and the wiring cord 196 is only partially bent as the wiring holding member 197 rotates, the conventional one (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009) The wiring cord 196 does not slide as in the case of U.S. Pat. No. 2,213,675), and it is possible to prevent the wiring cord 196 from being rubbed to cause problems such as electrical leakage and disconnection.

  Further, in the wiring holding member 197, the binding band 198 is inserted through the through holding holes 197a arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction, and the wiring cord 196 is held by the binding band 198. The binding band 198 holding 196 can be prevented from moving (sliding) in the longitudinal direction of the wiring holding member 197 by the holding hole 197a, and the wiring cord 196 together with the binding band 198 can be detached from the wiring holding member 197 It can be reliably prevented.

  Also, even if the wiring cord 196 extends from the main body frame 3 or the door frame 5 at a position away from the side of the door frame 5, the wiring cord can be used by the wiring holding member 197 as described above. Since the wire cord 196 can be favorably prevented from hanging down when the door frame 5 is opened and closed by guiding 196, the strength and rigidity of the pivotally supported side of the door frame 5 are enhanced. It can be set as the main body frame 3 or the door frame 5, and it can be set as the pachinko machine 1 with the high crime prevention property with respect to a fraud.

  Furthermore, since the wire holding member 197 is provided with the protrusions projected at least along the wiring cord 196 from both ends in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the pair of protrusions and the plate surface of the wire holding member 197 The three sides of the wiring cord 196 can be surrounded, and the wiring cord 196 can be easily held along the wiring holding member 197. Further, since the wire holding member 197 is provided with a protrusion, the bending rigidity of the plate-like wire holding member 197 can be enhanced, and the wire holding member 197 is prevented from being bent when the door frame 5 is opened and closed. The door frame 5 can be opened and closed in a good condition.

  Further, the length from the proximal end to the distal end of the wire holding member 197 is substantially the same as the distance from the axial center of the door frame 5 to the axial center of the proximal end, and the extension of the main body frame 3 in the wiring cord 196 In the state where the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the predetermined position is set to a position closer to the axial center of the door frame 5 than the tip of the wiring holding member 197. A pantograph-like link is formed by the axial center of the member 197, the tip of the wiring holding member 197, and the position where the wiring cord 196 in the main frame 3 extends, so when opening and closing the door frame 5. The movement of the wiring holding member 197, the wiring cord 196, etc. can be made smooth and the opening and closing work can be facilitated, and the application of excessive force to the wiring cord 196 etc. Prevent problems from occurring Can. In addition, a pantograph link is formed, and when the door frame 5 is closed, the portion of the wiring cord 196 extending from the tip of the wire holding member 197 is folded back at the tip side along the wire holding member 197. Therefore, in the state where the door frame 5 is closed, the wiring cord 196 can be folded and compacted, and the space for the wiring holding member 197 and the wiring cord 196 can be reduced.

  Further, the door frame base substrate cover 195 of the door frame 5 pivotally supporting the wiring holding member 197 is recessed so as to open toward the main body frame 3 with the door frame 5 closed with respect to the main body frame 3, A step portion 195 a capable of storing the wire holding member 197 is provided, and when the door frame 5 is closed to the main body frame 3, the step provided with the wire holding member 197 on the door frame base substrate cover 195 Since it is stored in the portion 195a, the protrusion of the wiring holding member 197 from the door frame 5 side to the main body frame 3 side can be almost eliminated, and the door frame 5 can be easily closed. The wiring cord 196 can be compacted, and the wiring cord 196 can be prevented from being caught by another member, thereby preventing occurrence of a failure.

  Furthermore, the wiring cord 196 is held along the surface of the wiring holding member 197 facing the main body frame 3 in the state where the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3. When the door frame 5 is closed, the wire holding member 197 can be brought as close as possible to the door frame 5 side (the door frame base substrate cover 195 side). The protrusion of the wiring holding member 197 can be reduced, the door frame 5 can be easily closed, and the space related to the wiring holding member 197 and the wiring cord 196 can be made as small as possible.

  Further, since the wiring holding member 197 is provided on the side of the door frame 5 that moves (opens and closes), the wiring holding member 197 can be easily rotated by an inertial force or an impact force that opens and closes the door frame 5, It is possible to reliably achieve the above effects. In addition, since the wire holding member 197 is provided in the door frame 5 and there is no need to secure a space for providing the wiring holding member 197 in the main body frame 3, a space for holding the game board 4 in the main body frame 3 relatively.

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

  The operation unit 400 of this example is attached to the pan unit 300 via the fixing portion 426b of the cover main body 426, and although detailed illustration is omitted, the operation unit 400 is attached to the operation unit attachment portion 314c of the pan unit 300. In the state, the lower surface of the operation unit 400 (lower cover 424) is attached in a state (for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm) slightly floating above the upper surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c. The cover main body 426 is elastically deformed when it is pressed or struck, so that the impact can be alleviated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor, and when the handle main body 504 (the handle device 500) is rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is rotated via the shaft member 510 and the transmission gear 511. The detection shaft 512a is to be rotated. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes in accordance with the rotation angle of the detection shaft 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the bat firing device 650 described later changes in accordance with the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512. Then, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500.

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

(D) is an explanatory view showing the operation of the fraud prevention member. The ball feeding unit 580 in the door frame 5 can supply the gaming balls supplied from the upper tray 301 in the tray unit 300 one by one to the ball launching device 650 and the gaming balls stored in the upper tray 301. The upper tray ball removal mechanism 340 can be removed to the lower plate 302 by operating the upper tray ball removal button 341.

  In this ball feed unit 580, the game balls stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 are supplied through the upper bowl ball discharge port 310d of the plate unit base 310 and the ball feed opening 113 of the door frame base main body 110 A box-shaped front cover 581 having a through opening 581a and a ball outlet 581b opened to the lower side of the opening 581a, and the rear end of the front cover 581 is closed and the front is opened. The rear cover 582 has a striking ball supply port 582a for supplying to the striking ball launch device 650 the gaming ball which penetrates in the longitudinal direction and enters from the entrance 581a of the front cover 581, a rear cover 582 and a front cover A partition 58 for pivotally supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between 581 and partitioning the entrance 581 a and the ball outlet 581 b on the rear side of the front cover 581. The ball removal member 583 having a and the gaming balls on the partition 583a of the ball removal member 583 are sent one by one to the ball hitting supply port 582a of the back cover and extend in the vertical direction between the front cover 581 and the rear cover 582 A ball feeding member 584 rotatably supported around the axis and a ball feeding solenoid 585 for turning the ball feeding member 584 are provided. In this example, as shown in the figure, the ball feeding member 584 is disposed on the right side of the entrance 581a in a front view, and the ball feeding member 583 is on the left side of the ball feeding member 584 and the ball feeding solenoid 585 is on the right. It is arranged.

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

  Further, the ball removing member 583 divides the space between the inlet 581 a and the ball outlet 581 b below the inlet 581 a, and the partition 583 a whose upper surface is lowered in the direction of the ball feeding member 584; Around an axis extending downward from the end opposite to the ball feeding member 584 and bending in a V shape toward the lower center of the ball outlet 581b from near the middle in the vertical direction and the lower end extends in the front and rear direction , A rod-like operating rod 583c projecting forward from the upper end of the rotating rod portion 583b, and a rotating rod portion 583b below the operating rod 583c And a weight portion 583d protruding from the side surface to the opposite side to the partition portion 583a. The operating rod 583c of the ball removing member 583 is formed to project forward through the arc-shaped slit 581c formed in the front cover 581 (see FIG. 54), and the ball feeding opening of the door frame base main body 110 It comes in contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343a of the upper disc ball withdrawal slider 343 in the upper disc ball ejection mechanism 340 of the disc unit 300 via the disc 113.

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

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

  Also, the ball feed unit 580 has a ball feed operation rod 586 whose tip is swung in the vertical direction by driving (energization) of a ball feed solenoid 585, and movement of the tip of the ball feed movement rod 586 that is swung in the vertical direction A ball feed crank 587 is provided, which pivots about an axis extending in the direction and rotates the ball feed member 584 about an axis extending in the vertical direction. The ball feed crank 587 is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feed actuating rod 586 and extends in the left and right direction with an engaging portion 587a, and a side engaged with the ball feed actuating rod 586 of the engaging portion 587a. A shaft portion 587b rotatably supported about an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 581 and the rear cover 582, and a ball feeding member 584 extending upward from the shaft portion 587b. And a transmission portion 587c engaged with a rod-like collar portion 584c (see FIG. 56) protruding downward from a position eccentric to the rotation center.

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

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

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

  In addition, since the contact piece 343a of the upper disc ball removal slider 343 with which the operation rod 583c of the ball removal member 583 is in contact is biased upward by a coil spring, the game ball is vigorously supplied onto the partition portion 581a Also, the impact can be absorbed by a coil spring that biases the upper ball ball withdrawal slider 343 via the actuating rod 583c, so that breakage of the ball withdrawal member 583 and the like can be prevented, and the gaming ball is It can be prevented that the partition part 583a bounces back.

  Further, in the ball feeding unit 580 of this example, a rectangular attachment recess 582b (see FIG. 56B, etc.) recessed forward is formed at the upper right on the back cover 582a of the back cover 582 in the back view. And the tamperproof member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b. The fraud preventing member 588 of the ball feeding unit 580 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 582 a of the rear cover 582 from the rear side. As shown in FIG. 55 and the like, the entire outer shape of the fraud preventing member 588 is formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape, and the opposite end from the approximate center in the vertical direction at the tip on the left side in the rear view. The upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c which are divided up and down with a dividing line 588a extending a predetermined length toward the base end side (right side) and the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c mutually V-shaped formed between the upper piece 588 b and the lower piece 588 c by bending the base end side of the upper piece 588 b in the direction (backward) perpendicular to the general surface of the tamperproof member 588 so as to move away And an inclined portion 588e which is formed at the tip of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c and is inclined toward the cut portion 588d.

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

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

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

  As a result, the wire Iw attached to the illegal gaming ball I is pulled by the force of the illegal gaming ball I in the direction in which the gap is narrowed (left direction in front view) by the cutting portion 588d of the tamperproof member 588 In this state, friction and shear force are applied by the cutting portion 588d to cut the wire Iw (see FIG. 57D). At this time, since the momentum of the illegal gaming ball I with the wire rod Iw is reduced by the friction acting on the wire rod Iw, the portion between the outer rail 1111 and the firing rail 660 does not enter the gaming area 1100. It will be discharged through the

  Therefore, since the wire Iw attached to the illegal gaming ball I can be cut by the cutting portion 588d of the fraud prevention member 588, a fraudulent act is performed by the illegal gaming ball I with the wire Iw in the gaming area 605. It is possible to prevent being cursed. In addition, even if an illegal game ball I intrudes into the game area 1100, as described above, since the wire Iw can be cut by the anti-corruption member 588, an illegal action can not be performed. Even if the wire Iw can not be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, the wire Iw bites into the V-shaped cutting portion 588d to attenuate the force of the illegal game ball I, thereby reducing the game area 1100. Since it is possible to prevent intrusion into the inside, it is possible to prevent fraud from being conducted.

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

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

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

  Furthermore, since the ball feed unit 580 is disposed on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100 in the door frame 5, the upper disc ball is compared to that provided with the ball feed unit 580 on the main body frame 3 side. There is no need to configure the transmission mechanism (upper disc ball extraction mechanism 340) for transmitting the operation of the extraction button 341 to the ball extraction member 584 of the ball feed unit 580 so as to straddle the openable door frame 5 and the main body frame 3. The configuration of the transmission mechanism can be simplified. Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is provided on the door frame 5 side, the transmission mechanism (every time the door frame 5 is opened compared to the case where the ball feed unit 580 is provided on the main body frame 3 side) Blocking of the upper ball ball withdrawal mechanism 340) can prevent the possibility of premature wear of the transmission mechanism, causing malfunction or breakage, and reliability for operation of the transmission mechanism, the ball feed unit 580, etc. And durability can be enhanced.

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

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

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

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

  In addition, since the partition 583a is rotated by its own weight in the direction to connect the inlet 581a and the ball outlet 581b, if a problem occurs in the partition 583a or the upper countersinking mechanism 340, the partition Is rotated by its own weight and the inlet 581a and the ball outlet 581b are in communication with each other, and the game ball in the upper tray 301 strikes the ball even though the upper tray ball withdrawal button 341 is not operated. Since it is discharged to the player side without being sent to the device 650 side, it is possible to make the player recognize that the pachinko machine 1 has a problem, and to the pachinko machine 1 having no problem. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest by moving it.

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

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

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

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

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

[1-2 J. Glass unit]

The two LEDs 214c belonging to the notification group 105 are divided into two systems, the upper side 105a and the lower side 105b. Further, the eight LEDs 288a and 288b belonging to the upper central group 106 are divided into three systems of a central portion 106a, a right portion 106b, and a left portion 106c. Further, the seven LEDs 290a belonging to the upper center side group 107 are divided into two systems of the right side 107a and the left side 107b.

  Furthermore, the eleven LEDs 322a belonging to the upper tray group 108 are divided into four systems 108a to 108d at the front and rear and left and right. In the five LEDs 430b and 432d belonging to the operation group 109, four LEDs 430b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 are arranged diagonally across the pressing operation unit 405, and the LEDs 430b form a pair. , And one LED 432c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405 are divided into three systems of one system.

  Next, the full tank branching unit 770 in the winning ball unit 700 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 74, 75 and 79. The full-tank sorting unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 is attached to the lower end of the prize ball base 710 and guides the gaming balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741 c side of the prize ball unit 740 to the dish unit 300. When the game balls are full on the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300, the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 can be distributed so as to pay out the game balls.

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

  Further, as shown in the figure, the full tank branch unit 770 is formed in a box-like shape that becomes lower as it goes from the rear end to the front end, and opens upward substantially at the center in the left-right direction in the upper rear end. Prize ball socket 771 for receiving gaming balls having flowed down the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710, and a branch space 772 disposed under the prize ball socket 771 and expanded in the left-right direction (see FIG. 79) The game ball having flowed through the normal passage 773 and the normal passage 773 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball from directly under the prize ball receiving opening 771 in the branch space 772 to the front side The normal ball outlet 774 opened at the right end of the view and the full passage 775 for guiding the game ball toward the front side from the position farther to the right in the rear view than directly below the prize ball receptacle 771 in the branch space 772 (see FIG. 79) A), a fill-up passage 775 game ball that has flowed through the discharge forward a full sphere outlet 776 which opens in a front view the left side of the normal ball outlet 774, a.

  Furthermore, the full tank branching unit 770 has a ball outlet 777 that receives the game ball that opens upward at the left end in a front view at the upper end of the rear end and flows down the ball extraction passage 741d of the prize ball device 740; A ball removal passage 778 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game balls received in the removal opening 777 to the front side, and the game balls distributed through the ball removal passage 778 are released forward to the normal ball outlet 774 at the left end in front view And a ball outlet 779 opened at a position rearward of the full ball outlet 776.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, the normal passage 773 and the full passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 have a size that allows the game balls to be distributed in a plurality of rows, and the retention amount of the game ball in the full tank branch unit 770 Even if the number of storage dishes provided in the door frame 5 is different, the number of storage dishes provided in the door frame 5 may be different, so that the substantial storage amount of the game balls in the full tank branching unit 770 is reduced. The pachinko machine 1 can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having different numbers of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game balls in the main body frame 3.

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

  The speaker box 820 in the substrate unit 800 is literally provided with the speaker 821 mounted facing the front side. The speaker box 820 covers the rear side of the speaker 821 in a sealed manner, and at the same time, a horizontally long rectangular opening port 822 is formed on the left side of the speaker 821 in a front view. Although not shown in detail, the open port 822 communicates with the space on the rear side of the speaker 821 through a predetermined labyrinth-like passage, thereby reversing the phase of the sound on the rear side of the speaker 821 and moving forward The speaker box is designed as a bass reflex type speaker box capable of emitting a deep bass to the aperture of the speaker 821. The duct portion 814 in the substrate unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the opening 822 of the speaker box 820, so that the sound emitted from the opening 822 can be favorably transmitted forward. ing.

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

  The firing power supply substrate box 830 is detached from above in the upwardly open accommodation recess formed by the box accommodation portion 816 of the substrate unit base 810 and the front box accommodation portion 843 of the power supply substrate box holder 840 described later. It is supposed to be accommodated. Thereby, in the assembled state of the main body frame 3, when a problem occurs in the firing power supply substrate box 830, the firing power supply substrate box 830 can be easily detached, replaced, or repaired from the front side of the main body frame 3. (See FIG. 63).

  Further, when the launch power supply substrate box 830 is described in detail, as shown in FIG. 89, the launch power supply substrate 831 is provided with a DC / DC converter 831a and an electrolytic capacitor SC0 charging and discharging electric power from the DC / DC converter 831a. And a combined current combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is driven by causing a current to flow to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking and launching apparatus 650. In this firing power supply substrate box 830, slits 830a as heat dissipation holes are formed on the upper and lower surfaces in order to release the heat emitted from the DC / DC converter 831a mounted on the firing power supply substrate 831 and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the outside. ing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Furthermore, when changing the model etc., only the game board 4 is replaced, and the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 etc. can be used as they are before. If the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the firing power supply substrate 831 is deteriorated, as described above, since the firing power supply substrate box 830 can be easily replaced from the front side, the firing power supply substrate 831 is immediately It can be replaced to solve the problem, and the interruption period of the game can be shortened as much as possible, and the interruption of the game can be eliminated early as if feeling frustration or feeling disappointing It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being reduced.

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

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

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

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

  The power supply substrate box holder 840 is configured such that the open front end side of the discharge passage 842 is closed by the rear surface of the substrate unit base 810, and the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810 faces the discharge passage 842. The rear side of the substrate unit base 810 is formed, and flows through the main frame base ball removal passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 of the main body frame base 600 through the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810. The game balls flowed down and the game balls discharged from the out ball discharge unit 1161 of the game board 4 and received by the discharge ball receiving unit 841, which will be described later in detail, pass through the discharge passage 842 behind the pachinko machine 1 Can be discharged into the

  Further, the power supply substrate box holder 840 is formed at a position where the front box accommodation portion 843 corresponds to the box accommodation portion 816 of the substrate unit base 810, and the box accommodation portion 816 and the front box accommodation portion 843 It is possible to form a receiving recess for receiving the box 830.

  Furthermore, the power supply substrate box 850 in the substrate unit 800 is formed in a horizontally long box shape whose front is open, and includes a power supply substrate 851 attached so as to close its front end opening. The power supply substrate box 850 is adapted to receive various electronic components attached to the power supply substrate 851, and externally transmits the heat from the electronic components through the plurality of slits 850a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. It can be released into the Here, as shown in FIG. 86, a power switch 852 attached to the power supply substrate 851 faces the rear surface of the power supply substrate box 850.

  In addition, power supply substrate box 850 is a standing wall projecting rearward along the lower side of the opening facing power supply terminal 853 (see FIGS. 84 and 86) mounted on the lower side of power supply switch 852 in power supply substrate 851. The wiring cord 854 can be inserted between the portion 850b, the protruding portion 850c protruding backward from both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, and the front side and the lower side of the standing wall portion 850b and the outer periphery of the power supply substrate box 850 And a wiring guide portion 850d that forms a gap. Although not shown in detail, the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply substrate 851 has a locking piece for locking with the locking claw of the connector terminal 855, and the locking claw and the locking piece And the connector terminal 855 does not come off from the power supply terminal 853.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, the delivery control board box 860 in the board unit 800 has a thin box-like box base 861 that is wide and open at the rear, and a thin box-like cover that fits into the box base 861 from the rear side and opens at the front. A delivery control board 4110 (see FIG. 153) attached to the back surface of the box base 861 and covered by the cover 862 is provided. Further, the payout control board box 860 is provided with a plurality of separation / cutting portions 863 that protrude outward from the left end in rear view and are formed on both the box base 861 and the cover 862. The box base 861 and the cover 862 are fixed by caulking. Thus, in order to separate the box base 861 and the cover 862, the separation and cutting portion 863 can not be separated without being cut off, and the trace thereof is left when the delivery control substrate box 860 is opened. . Therefore, it can be determined whether or not the dispensing control board box 860 has been improperly opened and closed. In this example, the delivery control board box 860 can be opened and closed only once for inspection or the like.

  In this payout control board box 860, an error release switch 860a, a ball removal switch 860b, an inspection output terminal 860c, etc. attached to the payout control board 4110 are faced rearward through the cover 862 (see FIG. 62). ).

In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, the locking projection 1004 constituting the locking structure of the front portion is formed to protrude from the side surface 1001a not in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base 1001, while the rear portion is fixed. The screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the structure is formed so as to protrude in the horizontal direction from the side surface 1001 b in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base 1001. The lock device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so that rattling does not occur as compared with the case where the side surface 1001 b is formed.

  Next, the operation of the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. As shown in FIG. 96, as shown in FIG. 96 (A), when the main body frame base 600 (main body frame 3) is closed to the outer frame 2 and the door frame 5 is closed to the main body frame 3. Of the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding wedge 1040 and the door frame 5 in which the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the sliding frame 1050 for the main frame are engaged. The hook cover 165 is in a locked state. In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engagement protrusion 1017 of the engagement cam 1016 pivots in a direction to enter the insertion longitudinal opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The tip end of the first engagement projection piece 1017 engages with the downward engagement hole 1062 of the main frame sliding wedge 1050 to push down the lower hook member 1052 against the biasing force of the spring 1048 and connect it The connecting wire rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 are also pushed down and descended. Thereby, the locked state between the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main frame sliding wedge 1050 is released, and the main frame 3 is pulled out by pulling the main frame 3 to the front side. The frame 2 can be opened.

  When the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054, 1065 are in a state of being lifted by the biasing force of the spring 1048 (the same elevated position as shown in FIG. 96A). Since the upper side of 1065 is inclined downward toward the outer side, the upper side inclined portions of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the closing plates 24 and 25 are forcedly pressed against the outer frame 2. Since it abuts on the lower end, the main frame sliding wedge 1050 descends downward, and the upward claws of the hook portions 1054, 1065 are engaged again with the closing plates 24, 25 and the main frame sliding The wedge 1050 is raised to return to the locked state.

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

  When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the biasing force of the spring 1048 (the same position as shown in FIG. 96A). Since the lower side of the hook portion 1041 is inclined upward toward the outside, the lower side inclined portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 is the hook cover 165 by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3. The sliding lid 1040 for the door frame ascends upward by coming into contact with the upper end portion of the door frame, and the downward claw portion of the hook portion 1041 for the door frame and the hook cover 165 are locked again The pivot 1040 descends and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding weir 1040 in this embodiment is formed to have substantially the same length as the entire length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the same as the side surface of the main body frame 3 in the longitudinal direction. A door frame hook portion 1041 which is attached over the entire length and which is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three places of an upper end portion, a central portion and a lower end portion of the door frame sliding wedge 1040 Therefore, it is possible to securely lock the entire length of the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 in the vertical direction, and forcefully open the space between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and insert illegal equipment such as a piano wire from the interval. I can not do the act.

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

  First, the operation of the lock mechanism which is the first fraud prevention structure will be described with reference to FIG. First, in a state where the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 97 (A), the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 abut It is in a state of In this state, the biasing force of the spring 1035 causes the first fraud prevention member 1023 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, and the stopper piece 1027 intrudes into the fraud prevention notch 1007, and the stopper piece 1027 is the fraud prevention notch An engagement notch portion 1066 formed on the lower hook member 1052 of the main frame slide lever 1050 at a position corresponding to 1007 is engaged. As a result, even if a piano wire or the like is hooked to the main frame sliding rod 1050 and pulled down, the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 are engaged with each other. It is impossible to unfairly pull down (unlock) and it is not possible to conduct an unfair act of opening the main body frame 3.

  On the other hand, when inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 and unlocking the main body frame 3 properly, as shown in FIG. 97 (B), the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated by rotating the key. The piece 1017 is pivoted to penetrate into the insertion longitudinal opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 rotates, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 abuts on the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017, so that the first fraud prevention member 1023 has a pivot shaft hole. The rotation of the stopper piece portion 1027 starts to move in the clockwise direction in the drawing around 1025, and the stopper piece portion 1027 is also moved so as to withdraw from the tamper-proof notch portion 1007. As a result, the engagement between the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is at a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. In this state, when the engagement cam 1016 is further rotated to rotate the first engagement protrusion 1017 as well, the leading end of the first engagement protrusion 1017 engages with the downward engagement hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire sliding frame 1050 for the main frame is lowered, the locked state between the hook portions 1054, 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 is released and the main frame 3 is released to the outer frame 2. It can be done.

  In addition, when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a state of being in contact with the control projection 1031, so the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member The positional relationship with the position 1032 is substantially the same as that shown in FIG. When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud preventing member 1032 abut from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. 97 (A) is obtained. Thereby, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when closing the main body frame 3. Further, in the present embodiment, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the main frame sliding wedge 1050 from being performed illegally, the main body If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened illegally, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after the release, and it is practically difficult to cheat the sliding rod with a piano wire etc. For this reason, it is devised that unauthorized operation on the main frame sliding wedge 1050 can not be performed.

  Further, even with the lock mechanism which is the first fraud prevention structure described above, it is impossible to invalidate the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, in the case where the lock function of the lock mechanism is incapacitated by an unauthorized action, in the present embodiment, when the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (the main body frame base 600), the inside The door frame sliding wedge 1040 and the main frame sliding wedge 1050 provided in the housing are completely covered by being enclosed in the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 except for the respective hook portions 1041, 1054, 1065. Since it is in the state, even if it is attempted to pull down the main frame sliding wedge 1050 provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 by inserting a piano wire etc., both side surfaces 1001a and 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001. Prevents unauthorized tools from entering the enclosed space, making it a structure that can not be easily tampered with.

  As described above, the lock device 1000 according to the present embodiment has the sliding door 1040 for the door frame and the slide frame 1040 inside the U-shaped base 1001 which is extremely thin as compared with the lock device in which the width dimension is concentrated on the conventional L-shaped base. The attachment position of the cylinder lock 1010 to the U-shaped base 1001 for operating the lock device 1000 with the main frame slide lever 1050 slidably set to a position below the lower edge of the game board 4 Therefore, even if the size of the game board 4 in the left and right direction and the up and down direction is made extremely large and the space surrounded by the peripheral wall portion 605 of the body frame 3 is made large, It can be installed.

  In addition, the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so that the open side of the U-shaped cross section of the U-shaped base 1001 faces the back surface of the main body frame 3. Therefore, when the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600) The door frame sliding wedge 1040 and the main frame sliding wedge 1050 arranged in the above are completely covered with the U-shaped base 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, respectively. It is possible not to easily carry out an unauthorized action such as pulling a piano wire or the like and pulling down the main frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside.

  Further, when the lock device 1000 is attached, the locking projections 1004 formed at three locations on the upper, middle, and lower sides of the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the door hook holes 620 and the lock locking holes 621. The structure is such that the positioning and locking is performed and the screw fixing portions 1003 formed at three places on the upper, middle and lower of the closed side (rear portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are fixed to the lock mounting portion 625 with screws. The lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600) with the above structure.

  In the lock device 1000 of this example, the lower part of the U-shaped base 1001 is screwed to the screw mounting portion 1003 formed in the lock mounting piece 1008 and in the vicinity of the upper portion of the cylinder lock through hole 611 of the main body frame 3. The structure in which the formed lock attachment portion 625 is screwed is shown, but instead of this, the tip of the screw 1012 is attached using a screw 1012 for attaching the cylinder lock 1010 to the lock attachment piece 1008. It is good also as a structure which forms the lock attachment hole screwed by penetrating the piece 1008 in the upper and lower sides of the cylinder lock through hole 611.

  First, as shown in FIG. 108, the crime prevention structure on the shaft support side in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is a side surface on the shaft support side (left side in front view) of the main body frame base 600 formed of synthetic resin in the main body frame 3. And a metal reinforcing unit 150 mounted on the rear surface of a door frame base 110 made of synthetic resin in the door frame 5. As shown in FIG.

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

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

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

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

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

  Furthermore, since the rear end of the side plate piece 952a in the side crime prevention plate 950 is extended rearward than the game panel 1150 in the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side plate piece 952a is assumed. Even if is destroyed, illegal tools such as a piano wire can not penetrate into the game area 1100 on the front of the game board 4 (game panel 1150) from the rear end of the side plate piece 952a, and cheating is performed. Can be reliably prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 108, since the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact with the outside of the side crime prevention plate 950 so as to cover the outside, the pachinko machine 1 has a robust side surface. It is possible to sufficiently fight against the vandalism of Also, in general, in the gaming hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the side of the pachinko machine 1 is inserted and fixed in the frame of the island facility for installing the pachinko machine 1. From the (front) side, it is almost impossible to allow the unauthorized tool to enter behind the rear end of the side plate piece 952c, and the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is further enhanced.

  Subsequently, as a crime prevention structure from the rear side in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 109, a prize ball base 710, a tank rail 731 and a prize ball device 740 in the main frame 3 accommodating the game board 4 Since the unit base 741, the full tank branch unit 770, and the back cover 900 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin, the game board 4 can be used as the rear or side of the game board 4 housed in the main frame 3. It is possible to visually recognize from the rear side of the main body frame 3 without removing it from the main body frame 3 or opening the back cover 900. As a result, even if an illegal device is attached to the rear side of the game board 4 or the like, it can be easily found, and it can be prevented that an illegal act is performed. In addition, since an unauthorized device or the like attached to the game board 4 can be easily found from the outside, it is possible to make the installation of the unauthorized device fooling, and it becomes possible to increase the deterrence against fraud. ing.

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

  Next, the flow of the game balls in the center character 2500 will be described. First, on the left side of the window 2501 of the center character 2500 as viewed from the front, as shown in FIG. It flows in the warp passage 2504 formed by the center base 2510 and the left passage cover 2530. More specifically, the gaming balls driven into the game area 1100 and entering the warp entrance 2503 are first jagged in the longitudinal direction by the passage recess 2510 a of the center base 2510 and the upper warp passage cover 2531 of the left passage cover 2530 It is guided downward while rolling. The gaming ball guided by the zigzag can be viewed from the player side through the upper warp passage cover 2531. In addition, by guiding the gaming balls in a zigzag manner, it is possible to suppress an increase in the flow-down speed of the gaming balls.

  The game ball guided into the warp inlet 2503 and guided by the passage recess 2510 a and the upper warp passage cover 2531 is supplied to the right end of the rolling surface 2521 of the distributing member 2520 disposed in the distributing space recess 2510 c in a front view . Then, the gaming ball supplied to the left end of the rolling surface 2521 of the distributing member 2520 rolls along the inclination of the rolling surface 2521 in the left direction in a front view, and passes through the lowest release portion 2522 Roll to the left than the discharge part 2522. The left side of the rolling surface 2521 is inclined so that the left end side is higher than the release portion 2522 as shown in the figure, so the gaming ball climbs the slope, the rolling speed is attenuated, and the speed is 0 Then, it starts rolling rightward according to the inclination of the rolling surface 2521.

  Since the rolling surface 2521 has an inclination angle on the right side larger than the release part 2522, the gaming balls rolled from the left to the right are less likely to climb on the right slope, and the release part 2522 makes a rear As a result, the light is emitted to the left guiding surface 2524 of the heel portion 2523 with high probability, and is distributed to the left side (the warp outlet 2505 side) in a front view by the heel portion 2523. The game balls distributed and guided to the left guiding surface 2524 with respect to the collar 2523 enter the opening 2551 of the lower warp passage member 2550 through the right opening 2510 d of the center base 2510, and the lower warp passage member It is supplied to the stage 2506 (first stage 2506a) from the warp outlet 2505 through 2550.

  In this stage 2506, since the warp outlet 2505 is disposed at the left end of the first stage 2506a in a front view, the gaming ball supplied from the warp outlet 2505 to the left end of the first stage 2506a turns the first stage 2506a to the right. The rolling operation is started, and while the momentum of the rolling of the gaming balls is on, the first stage 2506a is rolled in the left-right direction. Then, the gaming balls rolled on the first stage 2506a are discharged forward from the guide portion 2506e and supplied to the second stage 2506b on the front side and lower side of the first stage 2506a. Also in the second stage 2506b, while there is momentum of rolling of the gaming balls, the second stage 2506b rolls in the left-right direction, and is released from the guide portion 2506e into the front game area 1100.

  By the way, the chance entrance 2506c is opened substantially at the center of the first stage 2506a, and when the gaming ball rolling on the first stage 2506a enters the chance entrance 2506c, the chance exit on the lower side of the second stage 2506b It is released into the game area 1100 from 2506 d. The opportunity outlet 2506 d is located immediately above the first starting opening 2201 as shown in FIG. 110 and the like, and the gaming balls released from the chance outlet 2506 d are received by the first starting opening 2201 with high probability.

  On the other hand, when the gaming ball discharged rearward from the release portion 2522 of the distribution member 2520 is distributed to the left side of the front view of the heel portion 2523, it is guided by the guide surface 2524 on the left side of the heel portion 2523 and the left passage rear cover It is provided to the 2540 emission slope 2542. The game balls supplied to the discharge slope 2542 roll forward according to the inclination and are discharged into the game area 1100 from the discharge opening 2508 at the lower end of the left extension 2510 b through the left opening 2510 e of the center base 2510. Ru. Therefore, when the game ball entering the warp entrance 2503 is distributed to the left side, that is, the discharge port 2508 by the hook portion 2523 of the distribution member 2520, it is returned to the inside of the game area 1100 without being supplied to the stage 2506, and the left route 1100L. Will flow down again.

  In addition, the game ball which has flowed down from the upper part in the game area 1100 to the left route 1100L and has not entered the warp entrance 2503 opened in the peripheral wall 2502 of the center character 2500 is formed on the lower outside on the left outside of the warp entrance 2503 It is guided leftward in a front view by the shelf 2510 f of the center base 2510 and enters an entrance 2507 opened near the inner periphery of the game area 1100. The gaming ball having entered the entrance 2507 is guided by the guide passage 2532 a of the guide passage cover 2532 onto the guide piece 2510 h which forms a part of the upper portion of the distribution space recess 2510 c of the center base 2510. The gaming ball entering the entrance 2507 and guided by the guide passage 2532 a can be viewed from the player side through the guide passage cover 2532.

  The guide path 2532a and the guiding piece 2510h are located immediately above the left end of the rolling surface 2521 of the distributing member 2520 in the front view, and the gaming ball having entered the entrance 2507 with respect to the player is distributed as if An illusion can be made to be guided to member 2520. The gaming ball guided to the guiding piece 2510 h through the guiding passage 2532 a is guided rearward by the guiding piece 2510 h and passes through the passage opening 2510 g of the center base 2510 to the left aisle back cover 2540 on the rear side of the center base 2510. It is induced. The gaming ball guided to the left aisle back cover 2540 is guided by the guiding wall 2541 to the discharge slope 2542 disposed below the distributing member 2520 on the rear side of the distributing member 2520 and then released. It is rolled forward by the slope 2542 and is discharged into the game area 1100 from the outlet 2508 at the lower end of the left extension 2510 b through the left opening 2510 e of the center base 2510.

  Therefore, the gaming ball that has not flowed down the left route 1100L in the gaming area 1100 and has not entered the warp entrance 2503 enters the entrance 2507 and passes through the guide path 2532a etc. from the outlet 2508 the left route in the gaming area 1100. Released again to 1100 liters.

  On the other hand, on the right side of the window 2501 in the center character 2500, as shown in FIG. 146 etc., the gaming ball that has flowed down to the right route 1100R starts from the peripheral wall 2502 of the center character 2500 and the center base in the attack path 2509a. It enters into the branch passage 2510 k of 2510 and is sent to the branch space 2510 l. In the branch space 2510 l, a branch sensor 2620 is disposed immediately below the downstream end of the branch passage 2510 k and detected by the branch sensor 2620 with high probability. Note that the branch sensor 2620 is in a non-detection state in a normal gaming state (a state in which the branch sensor is not in an effective state).

  The game balls sent to the branch passage 2510k of the center base 2510 are sent from the lower right corner of the branch passage 2510k in a front view through the connecting passage 2510m to the second attack space 2510n. At the entrance of the second attack space 2510 n, a guiding portion 2510 p is formed so as to be lowered toward the second large winning opening 2509, and the gaming ball travels to the second large winning hole 2509 by the guiding portion 2510 p. Flow down. Then, in a normal state, the second large winning opening 2509 is closed by the second opening and closing member 2572 of the second attachment unit 2570, and the gaming ball guided by the guiding portion 2510p is second operated by the second opening and closing member 2572. The acceptance to the big winning opening 2509 is blocked, and it flows downward on the left side of the second opening / closing member 2572 in the second attachment space 2510 n in a front view.

  At this time, the second opening / closing member 2572 is in contact with the stopper portion 2571 j provided on the left side of the lower right protrusion 2571 i of the unit base 2571 with the stopper piece 2572 d, and rotates in the counterclockwise direction in front view. It is in a state of being blocked. Therefore, when the gaming ball from the guiding portion 2510p abuts on the right side of the wing portion 2572a of the second opening / closing member 2572, a force acts to turn the second opening / closing member 2572 in the counterclockwise direction. Also, the second rotation member 2572 does not rotate in the counterclockwise direction.

  The gaming ball that has not flowed into the second large winning opening 2509 but has flown down the second attachment space 2510 n forms the inclined surface 2582 a of the lower right front cover 2582 of the second starting opening unit 2580 which forms the bottom of the second attachment space 2510 n. It rolls in the left direction in a front view, and is discharged downward from the left end of the inclined surface 2582a so as to be outside the second attachment space 2510n.

  The gate portion 2585a of the gate member 2585 is disposed immediately below the left end of the inclined surface 2582a in the second starting opening unit 2580, and the gaming ball released downward from the second attacking space 2510n of the attacking passage 2509a is Will pass through the gate portion 2585a with high probability. In addition, the game ball which can not pass the gate part 2585a will flow downward through either the left or right of the gate part 2585a. The game ball having passed through the gate portion 2585a of the gate member 2585 is detected by the gate sensor 2586 and guided back to the rear, and the frame on the lower side of the gate portion 2585a by the guide passage 2587a of the passage member 2587 disposed on the rear side. It is guided into the second barrier portion 2585b and flows down the front surface of the second starting port 2587b.

  In the present embodiment, when passage of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2586, a normal lottery result is drawn, and the door member 2589 closing the second starting opening 2587b according to the drawn ordinary lottery result is Open and close. Specifically, in a normal state, the plunger 2590a of the starting port solenoid 2590 of the second starting port unit 2580 is lowered downward by its own weight, and the first link member 2591 and the second link member 2592 are lowered by the lowering of the plunger 2590a. The second start port 2587 b is closed with the door 2589 a of the door member 2589 standing up substantially vertically through the opening. That is, in the normal state, the second start port 2587b is closed by the door member 2589, and the game ball can not be received.

  Then, when the normal lottery result selected based on the detection of the game ball by the gate sensor 2586 is "loss", the starting port solenoid 2590 is not energized, and the plunger 2590a remains lowered. Therefore, when the normal lottery result is "loss", as shown in FIG. 146, the door member 2589 closes the second starting opening 2587b, and the gaming ball which has flowed down from the barrier 2585b through the gate 2585a. Is passed through the front side of the door portion 2589a of the door member 2589 without being received into the second start port 2587a, flows down onto the guiding member 2584, and is emitted by the guiding member 2584 in a left direction in a front view.

  On the other hand, when the normal lottery result drawn based on the detection of the game ball by the gate sensor 2586 is "hit", the starting port solenoid 2590 is energized and the plunger 2590a is raised, and the first link member 2591 and the second link The door portion 2589a of the door member 2589 is rotated in the direction in which the front end moves forward through the member 2592, and the second start port 2587b is opened (see FIG. 147).

Released just above 2585a. When the second big winning opening 2509 is opened due to a big hit or the like, the gaming ball that has entered the attacking passage 2509a by right-handing wins the second big winning opening 2509 with extremely high probability.

  The gaming ball released immediately above the gate 2585a enters the gate 2585a with a very high probability, and after being detected by the gate sensor 2586, it is released into the gaming area 1100 through the front side of the second starting opening 2587b. Be done.

  At this time, when the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2586, the main control board 4100 generates a normal random number as a normal lottery result based on the detection signal. Based on this ordinary random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (for example, the normal symbol display 1189 consisting of two LEDs of red and green alternately emits light), and the predetermined time (a predetermined time) For example, an ordinary symbol based on an ordinary random number (ordinary lottery result) extracted after a lapse of 0.1 seconds to 1 second has stopped display (any one of the two LEDs of the ordinary symbol display 1189 emits light) Be done. In the present embodiment, the same variation display is performed also on the normal symbol display substrate 1191a provided in the second starting opening unit 2580. The variation display of the normal symbol is performed based on the normal symbol variation pattern selected from the predetermined normal symbol variation pattern selection table.

  Specifically, in the case where the drawn normal random number is a "normal hit" random number, stop display is made with a normal symbol that suggests a hit (normal symbol indicator 1189 emits green light), and the drawn normal random number is a "normal loss" random number In this case, the stop display is made with the normal symbol indicating a loss (the normal symbol display 1189 emits light in red). Then, when the normal symbol indicating "normal hit" is stopped and displayed, the door member 2589 closing the second start port 2587b is pivoted in the opening direction for a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds) Then, the game ball can be won to the second starting opening 2587b.

  In the present embodiment, the variation time of the normal symbol is extremely short compared to the conventional pachinko machine. Therefore, the door member 2589 starts the solenoid 2590 at the timing when the game ball passing through the gate portion 2585a and drawing the "normal hit" reaches the front side of the door member 2589 closing the second start port 2587b. Thus, it is possible to receive the second start port 2587b by turning, and when the "normal hit" is drawn, the second start port 2587b is received with extremely high probability.

  Then, when the game ball is received to the second starting opening 2587b by passing through the gate 2585a and drawing the "normal hit", it is detected by the second starting opening sensor 2593, and based on the detection signal of the second starting opening sensor 2593 The main control board 4100 transmits a predetermined payout command to the payout control board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the winning ball device 740 according to the payout command, and one gaming ball, It is dispensed to the upper plate 301.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the game ball performs a hitting operation (so-called right-handed) passing the right side of the center character 2500, the game passes through the gate 2585a with a very high probability and also passes through the gate 2585a. If the ball draws a "normal hit", it is accepted to the second starting opening 2587b with extremely high probability, even a beginner or a player who is not accustomed to playing a game can easily win a prize to the second starting opening 2587b, and enjoys the player It is not possible to do.

  By the way, as described above, in the present pachinko machine 1, since the player can easily win the game ball on the second starting opening 2587b by right-punching, the winning on the second starting opening 2587b If the number of game balls to be paid out increases, the burden on the gaming hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed becomes large, and there is a possibility that the installation of the pachinko machine 1 may be overwhelmed. However, in the pachinko machine 1, since the number of gaming balls paid out by the winning of the gaming balls to the second starting opening 2587 b is one, the game is performed by the drawing of the special lottery result by the winning to the second starting opening 2587 b It is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the person, and to install the present pachinko machine 1 without any problem.

  Also, in this embodiment, when passage of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2586 while the normal symbol is variably displayed on the normal symbol display 1189, the normal symbol in the variation is stopped and generated and extracted earlier. Until the result of the ordinary random number is determined, the ordinary random number (including the ordinary pattern variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2586 is temporarily stored, its display is suspended, and stored. The number of ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of reservations) is displayed on the ordinary symbol storage indicator 1188. This ordinary symbol storage indicator 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and the number of LEDs can be indicated by the number of LEDs to be lit, and in this example, up to four can be stored and displayed. When the number of memories exceeds four, the normal random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2126 is discarded.

  On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate portion 2585a and the "normal loss" is drawn, the door member 2589 closing the second start opening 2587b maintains the state where the second start opening 2587b is closed. Therefore, the gaming ball having passed through the gate portion 2585a flows down the front surface of the door member 2589 for closing the second starting opening 2587b, and the game of the first large winning opening 2102 of the first large winning opening 2102 of the attacker unit 2100 is carried out by the guiding member 2584. It is released into region 1100. It should be noted that the gaming balls discharged from the guiding member 2584 into the game area 1100 win the first big winning opening 2102 with a high probability when the first big winning opening 2102 is in the open state due to a big hit game or the like. Therefore, at the time of the big hit game etc which the first big winning a prize opening 2102 and the 2nd big winning a prize mouth 2509 can receive, the game sphere is easily hit the right route to flow down the right route 1100R, easily the game sphere It is possible to win a prize in the one big winning opening 2102 and the second big winning opening 2509.

  By the way, in the main control board 4100 of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball wins in the first starting opening 2201 and the second starting opening 2587b and is detected in the first starting opening sensor 3422 and the second starting opening sensor 2593 Then, generation and extraction of a predetermined first special random number are performed in the first start port 2201, and generation and extraction of a predetermined second special random number are performed in the second start port 2587b. Then, after the variation display of the special symbol displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started based on the extracted special random number, the special The special symbol corresponding to the random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result.

  In the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186, when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a mode that suggests a "big hit", the second member of the opening / closing member 2104 of the attacker unit 2100 or the second attachment unit 2570 A special advantage gaming state (for example, a big hit game) occurs in which the second opening / closing member 2572 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, and in the meantime, winning a game ball to the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509 You can get more game balls. When one gaming ball wins the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of gaming balls are paid out from the winning ball device 740 to the upper tray 301.

  In the first start opening 2201 and the second start opening 2587b, the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display as well as the variation display of the normal symbol by the passage of the game ball to the gate 2585a. When the special symbol is variable display in 1186 or the special symbol such as a big hit game as a special advantageous gaming state can not be variably displayed, the gaming ball wins the first opening 2201 or the second starting opening 2587 b Based on the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 3422 or the second starting opening sensor 2593 until the variation display of the special symbol becomes possible when it is detected by the starting opening sensor 3422 or the second starting opening sensor 2593 The first special random number and the second special random number extracted are temporarily stored, and the display thereof is suspended, and the number of the stored special random numbers is Displaying the stored display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187.

  Each of the first special symbol memory display 1184 and the second special symbol memory display 1187 consists of two LEDs, and the combination of the light-emitting states of the light-off, light-on, and blinking LEDs indicates the number of memories. In this example, up to four can be stored and displayed. If the number of memories exceeds four, the extracted special random numbers are discarded. Also, when both the first special random number and the second special random number are stored (held), the second special random number is executed (digested) prior to the first special random number. . That is, withholding of the lottery result relating to the second starting port 2587b is executed (digested) in preference to holding of the lottery result according to the first starting port 2201.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first special random number extracted based on the detection of the first starting opening sensor 3422 or the second starting opening sensor 2593 or the special random number of the second special random number is a predetermined random number determined in advance By collating with the determination table (also referred to as a big hit determination table), it is determined whether the special random number is “lost” or “big hit”. Further, in the main control board 4100, the predetermined pattern random number of the first symbol random number and the second symbol random number extracted based on the detection of the first start opening sensor 3422 or the second start opening sensor 2593 is determined in advance. By collating with the determination table (also referred to as a symbol determination table), it is determined whether "big hit" is "4R big hit", "12R big hit", or "16R big hit". Further, the symbol determination table also determines "permanent short time no hit", "permanent time per change", "time per minute", "permanent short time".

  When the extracted first special random number and second special random number are "big hit", the main control board 4100 opens the open / close member 2104 of the attacker unit 2100 or the second open / close member 2572 of the second attacher unit 2570. After that, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) has elapsed, or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls have a winning condition in the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509. If satisfied, the open / close pattern (one open / close pattern is referred to as one round) for closing the open / close member 2104 or the second open / close member 2752 is repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds). For example, "4R big hit" is repeated in four rounds, "12R big hit" in 12 rounds, and "16R big hit" in 16 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player. Note that after the end of the predetermined number of rounds, the "big hit" may be replaced with a big hit determination table or the like at a high probability according to the extracted symbol random number.

  By the way, in the case of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control is performed when the extracted first special random number or second special random number is “specified big hit” (big hit serving as an opportunity to execute fate selection chance effect or fate branch effect) On the substrate 4100, the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 causes the game from the branch sensor 2620 when the special symbol is stopped and displayed in a manner that suggests "specific big hit". In the special advantageous gaming state in which the detection signal of the ball can be received (branch sensor enabled state) and the opening / closing member 2104 of the attacker unit 2100 or the second opening / closing member 2572 of the second attachment unit 2570 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern. Hold the outbreak. Then, when the game ball hit to the right is detected by passing through the branch sensor 2620 in the branch space 2510l in the attachment passage 2509a, the opening / closing member 2104 or the second opening / closing member 2572 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern. A state is generated, and a "specified big hit" game of the number of rounds based on the first special random number and the second special random number is performed.

  Further, in the “specific jackpot”, the variation time of the special symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is set longer than the variation time of the special symbol on the function display unit 1180. That is, the special lottery result is the first special symbol indicator 1185 or the second one of the function display unit 1180 with respect to the special lottery result drawn by the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2201 or the second starting opening 2587b. The time displayed by the effect image by the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is set longer than the time displayed by the special symbol display 1186. Thereby, even during display of the effect image (for example, reach effect image) by the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the open / close member 2104 and the second open / close member 2572 are opened and closed in a predetermined pattern by the detection signal of the gaming ball from the branch sensor 2620. A special advantageous gaming state can be generated.

  In addition, after the stop display of the special symbol which suggests "specific big hit" by the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186, that is, at the start of reception of the detection signal from the branch sensor 2620, the main liquid crystal display It is desirable to display an image prompting the player to perform a hitting operation (right-handed) aiming at the branch sensor 2620 in 1900, thereby causing the branch sensor 2620 to detect the game ball and to make a special relating to the “specified big hit”. An advantageous gaming state can be generated. At this time, although the main liquid crystal display device 1900 does not indicate "big hit" ("specific big hit"), the open / close member 2104 and the second open / close member 2572 are opened and closed, and the first large winning opening 2102 and the Since it is possible to win a prize in the second large winning opening 2509, the game ball hit by the branch sensor 2620 wins in the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning opening 2509 and can surprise the player. , Can entertain the player.

  In addition, the game balls driven into the game area 1100 are any of the general winning openings 2101 and 2301, the first starting opening 2201, the second starting opening 2587b, the first large winning opening 2102, and the second large winning opening 2509 If the player does not win a prize, it is provided at the lower end in the left-right direction center of the game area 1100 and discharged from the out port 1151 to the rear lower side of the game board 4. In addition, a game is won even if the game ball is won in any of the general winning openings 2101, 2301, the first starting opening 2201, the second starting opening 2587b, the first large winning opening 2102, and the second large winning opening 2509 The ball is discharged to the rear lower side of the game board 4 without being returned into the game area 1100.

  The variation display of the special symbols on the first special symbol display 1185 or the second special symbol display 1186 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 153). The fluctuation display of symbols on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like is controlled by the periphery control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control unit 4150 based on the command according to the lottery result transmitted from the main control substrate 4100 to the periphery control unit 4140. In this way, the peripheral control unit 4140 controls the variation display of the symbols on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 etc., which the player pays particular attention to, so that the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 For one command, a plurality of variation patterns of symbols can be prepared in advance to increase the variation patterns of symbols in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the like. The "big hit game effect image" and the like displayed in the "big hit" game and the like are also controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 etc., and effect images of various patterns are prepared in advance. As a result, the display pattern of the effect image to be displayed can be increased without increasing the load of the arithmetic processing on the main control board 4100, and the pachinko machine 1 can be made more entertaining to the player and less likely to get bored. It has become.

  In addition to the control of the effect image, the peripheral control unit 4140 appropriately drives the drive motor and drive solenoid, the decoration substrate, and the like provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000 based on the command related to the lottery result. The movable effect and the light emission effect can be performed, and the player can be entertained by the movable effect and the light emission effect.

[5. Characteristic effects of the second big winning opening]
According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball is received to the second large winning opening 2509 disposed in the attack passage 2509a of the center character 2500, a benefit such as payout of a predetermined number of game balls is awarded. Therefore, the game ball receives the second large winning opening 2509 by the second opening and closing member 2572 according to the game state (for example, a big hit game, etc.) that changes by hitting the game ball into the game area 1100 In the possible open state, the player attempts to receive the game ball into the second big winning opening 2509, and performs a hitting operation (right-handed in this embodiment) such that the game ball enters into the attack path 2509a. As a result, the player can enjoy the operation of hitting the game ball. Then, when the game ball that has been hit enters the attack passage 2509a and is guided by the guiding unit 2510p, the guiding unit 2510p guides the gaming ball toward the second big winning opening 2509, so the game ball is extremely high. It can be made to accept to the 2nd big winning a prize mouth 2509 by probability, and the player can be entertained by the fact that reception of the game sphere is granted by the acceptance of the game sphere. Therefore, the game ball can be easily accepted into the variable second large winning opening 2509 which is opened and closed by the second opening and closing member 2572, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Also, when the second large winning opening 2509 in the attacker flow channel 2509a is in the open state, the second large winning opening 2509 can be received with extremely high probability simply by entering the gaming ball into the attacking passage 2509a. Even an unfamiliar player such as a beginner can easily receive the game ball into the second large winning opening 2509, and it can reduce the difficulty of hitting the game ball, thereby making the game fun It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

  Furthermore, since the obstacle nail is not disposed on the attacker passage 2509a provided with the second large winning opening 2509 which is opened and closed by the second opening and closing member 2572, the flow (route) of gaming balls in the attacker passage 2509a is stabilized. The game ball entered into the attack passage 2509a can be made to reach the guiding portion 2510p with certainty, and the game ball is guided by the guiding portion 2510p to the second big winning opening 2509 and the second big winning of the open state It can be accepted to the mouth 2509.

  In addition, since the gaming ball that has entered the attacking passage 2509a and has not been accepted by the second big winning opening 2509 is discharged again from the inside of the attacking passage 2509a into the playing area 1100, the released downstream in the playing area 1000 It may be accepted by the gate unit 2586a, the second start opening 2587b, the general winning opening 2101, the first large winning opening 2102 and the like provided on the side, and the game ball is not accepted to the second large winning opening 2509 Even if you are disappointed, you can be expected to receive the game ball to the downstream second starting port 2587b etc. released from the attacking passage 2509a, and suppress the decrease in the interest for the game can do.

  In addition, since the game ball is guided toward the second large winning opening 2509 by the guiding portion 2510p of the center base 2510, when the second large winning opening 2509 is in the open state, the gaming ball guided from the guiding portion 2510p is the first It becomes difficult to abut on the second opening and closing member 2572 and damage to the second opening and closing member 2572 can be reduced by an impact with which the game ball abuts, and the player is interrupted by interruption of the game due to the breakage of the second opening and closing member 2572 It is possible to prevent frustration and reduce interest. Therefore, in the case of a big hit game or the like in which the second big winning opening 2509 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, more gaming balls than usual are shot to aim at the second big winning opening 2509, so there are more games than usual. The ball comes in contact with the second opening and closing member 2572. However, as described above, since the gaming ball hardly contacts the second opening and closing member 2572 in the open position by the guiding portion 2510p, many game balls are hit. However, the second opening and closing member 2572 can be made less likely to be damaged, and interruption of the game due to the breakage of the second opening and closing member 2572 can be avoided to enjoy the game continuously.

  Furthermore, since the guiding portion 2510p of the center base 2510 is inclined so that the extension passes through the second large winning opening 2509 opened toward the right in the front view, the gaming ball is guided to the guiding portion 2510p with respect to the player. When guided, it can be recognized at first glance that it will be accepted to the second large winning opening 2509, and when the second large winning opening 2509 is in the open state, the second large winning opening 2509 is allowed to receive the game ball It can be recognized that the pachinko machine 1 is easy. Therefore, when the second large winning opening 2509 is in the open state, the player performs a hitting operation aiming at the attacker channel 2509a so that the game ball is guided by the guiding portion 2510p in the attacker channel 2509a (right The game player can actively make a hit, and can enjoy the game ball hitting operation to suppress the decrease in interest. In addition, as described above, since it can be made to recognize at a glance that the player can reliably receive the second big winning opening 2509 when the game ball is induced to the guiding portion 2510p, the pachinko machine to play the game The player who is selecting can increase the feeling of expectation for the game with the pachinko machine 1 and can make it easy to select the pachinko machine 1 as a pachinko machine to be played.

  In addition, since the guiding portion 2510p is inclined so that an extension line passes through the second large winning opening 2509 opened toward the right in front view, the gaming ball guided by the guiding portion 2510p can be opened in the second state. It is possible to directly receive the second large winning opening 2509 without contacting the opening and closing member 2572, it can be reduced as much as possible that the game ball contacts the second opening and closing member 2572 in the open state, Damage to the second opening and closing member 2572 due to fatigue can be prevented. On the other hand, when the second large winning opening 2509 is closed, the second opening / closing member 2572 is in a substantially vertically rising state, so the gaming ball guided by the guiding portion 2510 p is directed to the second opening / closing member 2572 Since the impact applied to the second opening and closing member 2572 is smaller compared to the case where the contact is applied from above, fatigue accumulation is reduced and the second opening and closing member 2572 is prevented from being damaged. can do. From these things, it is possible to prevent the interruption of the game due to the breakage of the second opening and closing member 2572 by preventing the second opening and closing member 2572 from being broken, so the player is annoyed by the interruption of the game. It is possible to avoid remembering and lowering interest, and to enjoy the game continuously.

  Further, the second opening and closing member 2572 for opening and closing the second large winning opening 2509 is rotated about an axis extending in the front-rear direction, and the second opening and closing member 2572 is opened and closed when the second large winning opening 2509 is opened or closed. When the second opening / closing member 2572 can be seen from the player's side, the external shape of the second opening / closing member 2572 does not change and it only changes its direction. It is easy to understand and makes it easy for the player to notice the opening and closing of the second large winning opening 2509, and avoids the feeling that the player has lost without being aware of the opening and closing of the second large winning opening 2509, It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest, and to make the second large winning opening 2509 in the opened state promptly hit the game ball aiming at the second large winning opening 2509, Entertain the player Interest Te can be suppressed.

  Further, since the lower end side of the second opening / closing member 2572 is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction near the lower end of the second large winning opening 2509, the second opening / closing member 2572 is turned to the open position. When moved, the tip (upper end) side of the second opening / closing member 2572 is pivoted in the direction approaching the guiding portion 2510p. As a result, the second opening / closing member 2572 is bridged between the guiding portion 2510 p and the second large winning opening 2509, so that the gaming ball guided by the guiding portion 2510 p is moved from the guiding portion 2510 p The second opening / closing member 2572 is rolled to be received by the second large winning opening 2509, and when the gaming ball is delivered from the guiding portion 2510p to the second opening / closing member 2572, the second opening / closing member 2572 is The impact that acts can be reduced, and the second opening and closing member 2572 can be made less susceptible to breakage. In addition, when the second opening and closing member 2572 is rotated from the open position to the closed position, the leading end (upper end) of the second opening and closing member 2572 guides the flow path of the gaming ball guided by the induction portion 2510p. Since it rotates in the direction away from 2510p, it is possible to prevent the gaming ball guided from the guiding portion 2510p from being accepted into the second large winning opening 2509 at this timing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a predetermined number or more of game balls from being accepted into the second big winning opening 2509, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

  Furthermore, since the game ball is induced to flow down toward the lower end of the second large winning opening 2509 by the guiding portion 2510p, when the second large winning hole 2509 is in the open state, the gaming ball can be reliably secured from the guiding portion 2510p. The second large winning opening 2509 can be received, and the contact of the game ball with the second opening and closing member 2572 in the open state can be reduced as much as possible, and the second opening and closing member 2572 is damaged due to fatigue. Can be prevented. On the other hand, when the second big winning opening 2509 is in the closed state, the gaming ball guided from the guiding portion 2510p comes in contact with the vicinity of the rotatably supported lower end of the second opening and closing member 2572. The lower end side of the opening and closing member 2572 is in a state excellent in impact resistance due to the contact of the game ball, and the second opening and closing member 2572 can be made less likely to be damaged. Therefore, by preventing the second opening and closing member 2572 from being damaged, it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to the breakage of the second opening and closing member 2572. Can be avoided and the game can be enjoyed continuously.

  Further, all the game balls circulating in the attack path 2509a are guided toward the second big winning opening 2509 by the guiding unit 2510p, and the second large winning opening 2509 is opened by the second opening and closing member 2572. When the ball is made to enter the attack passage 2509a, all gaming balls are guided by the guiding portion 2510p toward the second big winning opening 2509, so that more gaming balls are accepted into the second big winning opening 2509 It is possible to make the player entertain and suppress the decrease in interest. Also, when the second large winning opening 2509 is in the open state, the game ball can be received into the second large winning opening 2509 simply by advancing the gaming ball into the attachment passage 2509a, so the gaming ball aimed at the attacking passage 2509a Thus, it is possible to concentrate on the operation of hitting the key, and to prevent the player from getting bored and to reduce the interest in the game.

  In addition, the game ball which has been driven into the game area 1100 by a predetermined amount or more is made to enter into the attack passage 2509a, and the game ball is easily entered into the attack passage 2509a by a simple hit operation (right strike). Since the second large winning opening 2509 in the attacking passage 2509a is opened according to the game state, even an unskilled player such as a beginner easily causes the game ball to enter the attacking passage 2509a. The game ball can be received with high probability into the variable second large winning opening 2509 which is opened and closed by the second opening and closing member 2572, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, immediately above the first starting opening 2201 which may generate a special advantageous gaming state in which the player has an advantage by receiving the gaming ball as an entrance to which a privilege is given. The stage 2506 is disposed upstream of the game player, and the player can be made aware of the fact that the game ball is released to the first starting opening 2201 with high probability when the game ball is released from the stage 2506, and the stage 2506 is provided. A warp entrance 2503 to which gaming balls can enter is opened on the outer periphery of the center-shaped center character 2500, and the game sphere is supplied to the stage 2506 when the gaming balls enter the warp entrance 2503. As it can be made to recognize at a glance for the game, the warp entrance 2503 is given to the player so that the game ball is supplied to the stage 2506. Can be made to the implantation operation of the game balls Tsu, you are possible to entertain the hammering operation of the game ball to the player. Then, when the game ball hit into the game area 1100 enters the warp inlet 2503, it circulates to the distributing member 2520 in the warp passage 2504, and the warp outlet 2505 side supplied to the stage 2506 by the distributing member 2520, Alternatively, since the game ball is distributed to any of the discharge port 2508 side returned to the game area 1100, the game ball is not necessarily supplied to the stage 2506 just because the game ball has entered the warp entrance 2503, It can be attracted to the distributing member 2520 in the warp passage 2504 where the player's interest can be visually recognized, and the movement of the game ball supplied to the stage 2506 can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in the player's interest Can.

  In addition, the distributing ball 2520 in the warp passage 2504 distributes the gaming ball entering from the warp inlet 2503 to either the warp outlet 2505 side for supplying the stage 2506 or the outlet 2508 side for returning to the game area 1100. Therefore, it is possible to make the player feel sloppy and shocked about whether or not the game ball can be distributed to the warp outlet 2505 side (stage 2506 side) by the distribution member 2520, and the movement of the game ball to the player Can be used to suppress the decline in interest.

  Furthermore, since the gaming balls distributed to the warp outlet 2505 side by the distributing member 2520 are supplied from the warp outlet 2505 to the stage 2506, they roll on the stage 2506 like the conventional pachinko machine provided with the stage 2506. In addition to being able to enjoy the movement of the gaming ball, the player can be excited about whether or not the gaming ball is released from the part that is accepted with high probability to the first starting opening 2201 in the stage 2506, The distribution member 2520 and the stage 2506 make it possible to entertain the player doubly, and to enjoy games that are not available in conventional pachinko machines.

  In addition, when the game ball released from the stage 2506 is accepted to the first starting opening 2201, a payout of the game ball and a special lottery result lottery where a special advantage game state occurs is performed, and a special advantage game state can occur Since there is a sex, it is possible to make the player feel good and to further drive the game ball into the game area 1100, and it is possible to entertain the player and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  Furthermore, the gaming ball supplied to the distributing member 2520 in the warp passage 2504 is reciprocated in the left and right direction by the rolling surface 2521 which extends in the left and right direction and is curved so that both ends are high. Since it is released and distributed to either the warp outlet 2505 side or the discharge port 2508 side by the hook portion 2523, it is possible to entertain the player with the movement of the gaming ball which rolls back and forth in the left and right direction, Since the game ball can reciprocate to the side of the warp outlet 2505 side or the discharge port 2508 by reciprocating to the left and right direction, it is possible for the player to be sloppy to the distribution of the game ball. Can increase the sense of expectation of distribution to the warp exit 2505 side (stage 2506 side) and suppress the decline in interest .

  In addition, since the game ball entering from the warp entrance 2503 is supplied to one end side in the lateral direction of the rolling surface 2521 of the distributing member 2520, the gaming ball is reliably reciprocated in the lateral direction on the rolling surface 2521 It is possible to make the player enjoy the movement of the game ball and to suppress the decrease in interest. In addition, since the game ball is reciprocated in the lateral direction on the rolling surface 2521 of the distribution member 2520, the time from the supply of the game ball to the distribution member 2520 to the distribution can be extended, It can be made easy to recognize that the game ball is distributed to the player, and the movement of the game ball in the warp passage 2504 can be enjoyed, and it is easy to see where the game ball is distributed. The player can be harassing and pounding, and the expectation of the player can be enhanced to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, in the distributing member 2520, since the probability that the gaming balls discharged from the discharge portion 2522 of the rolling surface 2521 can be distributed to the warp outlet 2505 side by the hook 2523 is high, the game entered into the warp inlet 2503 The number of times the player is discouraged can be reduced by distributing the ball to the discharge port 2508 side and returning it into the gaming area 1100, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest At the same time, by distributing game balls to the outlet 2508 side occasionally, it is possible to increase the feeling of pounding for the distribution of the game balls by the distribution member 2520, and to prevent the player from getting bored and to decrease the interest rate. Can.

  In addition, when the game ball hit aiming at the warp entrance 2503 passes between the warp entrance 2503 and the inner circumference of the game area 1100 without entering the warp entrance 2503, it is guided by the shelf 2510f of the center character 2500. The game ball enters the entrance 2507 and is guided from the entrance 2507 through the guide passage 2532a to the upper end on the right end side of the rolling surface 2521 of the distributing member 2520, so that the game ball is distributed to the player. It can be thought that there is a possibility of being supplied to the member 2520 (rolling surface 2521) and being distributed to the stage 2506 side. Therefore, even if the player is disappointed by the fact that the game ball that has been hit does not enter the warp entrance 2503, it can be made to feel like being rescued by entering the downstream entrance 2507, and the player It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest of

[6. Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (in particular, the main control MPU 4100a) will be described. FIG. 154 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 154 (a), the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment first performs various registers and RAMs as the process of step S1 on condition that the RAM clear switch 4100c is operated. Initialize the stored data. The RAM clear switch 4100 c is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and can not be operated unless the main body frame 3 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch 4100 c outputs a clear signal to the main control board 4100 according to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) elapses from the power on, and the main control MPU 4100 a receives the clear signal at the power on. If it is determined that there is, the initialization process (step S1) is executed to initialize data stored in the various registers and the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a.

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

  Next, as the process of step S2, the update of the random number which is the number updated within a predetermined numerical range is performed. That is, in the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment, the special random number (first special random number, second special random number) to be subjected to the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol The fluctuation random number provided for the lottery process for the predetermined time (variation time) required for the fluctuation display control of, and the fluctuation display of the decoration symbol performed by the main liquid crystal display device 1900 corresponding to the fluctuation display of the special symbol Reach (The left decoration symbol and the right decoration symbol are stopped and displayed in the same pattern, and the middle decoration pattern is not displayed in a stopped state, or the left, middle and right decoration symbols are synchronized so that they all become the same symbol Reach random numbers to be subjected to lottery processing whether or not to display), symbols to be subjected to lottery processing for determining the type of big hit when it is determined to be a big hit based on the special random number A random number counter that holds random numbers such as a number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number), a random number (normal random number) and the like to be provided for the lottery process for the hit of the door member 2589 There is.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first start opening 2201 is started, the second start opening 2587b is started. Even if the reach random number is configured to be acquired from the same counter that updates reach random numbers, the reach randomization execution ratio can be obtained by acquiring from different counters where the range of random numbers to update reach random numbers is different. The first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol may be different as the reach determination table to be compared with the acquired reach random number, and may be different from the first reach determination table corresponding to the second special symbol. The execution ratio of the reach effect may be made different by providing a second reach determination table in which the determination value is set.

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

  FIG. 154 (b) is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100.

  As shown in FIG. 154 (b), in this interrupt control, first, a register save process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as the process of step S12, the gate sensor 2586, the first start opening sensor 3422, the second start opening sensor 2593, the first count sensor 2111, the second count sensor 2578, the general winning opening sensor 3421 and the like , Detection signals from various switches are input. Then, next, in step S13, random number update processing for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the above-mentioned random numbers, random numbers (special random numbers, ordinary random numbers) relating to the display mode at the time of the stop of the fluctuation display of the special symbol and the ordinary symbol are updated Counter operation is performed.

  And after updating the random number in this way, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs a special symbol process process including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the above special symbol as the process of step S14. Run. In addition, although this special symbol process processing will be described later, here, basically, a special symbol process flag (a first special symbol process flag, a first special symbol process flag, the first special symbol process flag, which indicates the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a) Corresponding processing will be selectively executed based on (2) special symbol process flag).

  Then, next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes, as the processing of step S15, a normal symbol process process including a lottery process concerning a hit when the door member 2589 becomes an operation trigger. Also in this normal symbol process processing, basically, the corresponding processing is selectively executed in accordance with the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is such that the drive frequency of the door member 2589 is higher in a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state (excluding a part of the 4R big hit gaming state). It becomes a structure which performs a lottery process (what is called time saving state). In this embodiment, the probability of winning the normal symbol is increased only within a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state (excluding a part of the 4R big hit gaming state), and the variation display control of the normal symbol is performed. Such time reduction is realized by shortening the time required and extending the opening time of the door member 2589 when the lottery result of the normal symbol is hit.

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

  In addition, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 outputs information such as contact information (16R big hit, 12R big hit, 4R big hit) to be supplied next to the hole management computer, for example, in the process of step S18. Do the processing.

  Then, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs the process of step S19, the first start port sensor 3422, the second start port sensor 2593, the first count sensor 2111, and the second count sensor 2578 When the detection signals from the general winning opening sensor 3421 and the like are in the on state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 4110 so that a prize ball corresponding to those signals is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 4111a mounted on the payout control board 4110 outputs a drive signal from the payout motor drive circuit 4111d to the payout motor 744 to pay out the prize balls to the player.

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

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

  FIG. 155 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that random numbers provided for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 155, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first uses the first starting opening sensor 3422 described above. The first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter on condition that the detection signal is in the on state (with the first start port 2201 having entered the ball) (step S31) A first starting opening passage process such as storing in one special symbol hold storage area is executed (step S32). In addition, the second special random number of the second special symbol is the random number on condition that the detection signal by the second starting opening sensor 2593 is in the on state (the second starting opening 2587b is entered) (step S33) The second starting opening passage processing such as acquiring from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol hold storage area of the RAM is executed (step S34).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the branch sensor effective flag indicating that control is being performed to the branch sensor effective state is set (step S35), and if the branch sensor effective flag is set, the branch sensor effective state is branched A branch sensor passage process (step S40) is performed to monitor whether or not the game ball passes through the sensor 2620.

  On the other hand, if the branch sensor effective flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the big hit execution flag indicating that control to the big hit gaming state is set (step S36), the big hit execution flag is set If yes, the jackpot control process (step S41) for controlling the jackpot gaming state is executed. In the big hit control process, the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the stop of the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is "4R Normal Big Hit A (not specified 1)", "4R ( When it comes to a mode that suggests "specified 1)", "4R probability variation big hit (specific 3)", the first big winning opening 2102 is controlled to the open state according to the 4R big hit gaming state opened for a long time, " When it comes to a mode that suggests 4R sudden probability big hit A (specific 2), the second big winning opening 2509 is controlled to the open state according to the 4R big hit gaming state opened for a short time, “4R normal big hit B ( According to the 4R big hit gaming state of opening for a short time when it becomes the mode which suggests non specific 2) "4R normal big hit C (not specified 3)" and "4 R normal big hit D (not specified 4)" Control the first big winning opening 2102 to the open state , "12R probability variation big hit A (specific 4)", "12R probability variation big hit B (specific 5)" when it comes to the mode, according to the 12R big hit gaming state open for a long time 2nd large winning opening 2509 Is controlled to the open state, and when it comes to a mode that suggests "16R probability variation big hit (specific 7)", the second big winning opening 2509 is controlled to the open state according to the 16R big hit gaming state open for a long time Execute the process

  Also, in the big hit control process (step S41), after performing the opening control of the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509, each set process of the high probability flag, the time saving flag, and the time reduction counter . The high probability flag is a flag indicating that it is a high probability state, and a big hit (specific 1 4R latency probability big hit) controlled to a high probability state (high probability time short state, high probability non-short time short state) after the big hit gaming state ends , Specific 2 4R stupid jackpot A, specific 3 4R probability variation big hit, specific 4 12R probability variation big hit A, specific 5 12R probability variation big hit B, specific 6 4R thrust probability big hit B, specific 7 16R probability variation big hit) The jackpot is set when the jackpot gaming state ends, and is reset by a first special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 165 described later or a second special symbol stop process (not shown) when it becomes the next big hit.

  In addition, the time saving flag is a flag indicating that it is a time saving state, and a big hit (non-time saving state (low probability non-time saving state) controlled to time saving state (high probability time saving state, low probability time saving state) after the big hit gaming state ends It is set when ending the big hit gaming state based on non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A and non-specific 2 4 R normal big hit B excluding the big hit during the control of high probability non-short state). And when the time saving flag becomes the next big hit, or when the count value of the time saving flag becomes “0”, the first special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. 165 described later or the second special symbol not shown shown in FIG. It is reset by processing.

  In addition, the time reduction counter is a counter that indicates the remaining number of fluctuation display of the special symbol (first special symbol and second special symbol) as the number of continuations of the time reduction state, and the time reduction state (high probability) after the end of the big hit gaming state Among the big hit controlled to time saving state, low probability time saving state) big hit where predetermined number of times is set as continuation number (time saving number of times) of time saving state (non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A and non-specific during control of time saving state) When the big hit gaming state based on 2 4R normal big hit B, specific 3 4 R probability variation big hit, specific 4 12 R probability variation big hit A, specific 5 12 R probability variation big hit B) is ended, then the number of continuation times of the short status is set The time saving counter is counted down each time the special symbol is displayed until the counter value becomes "0", but the counter value is "0". When it is the next big hit before becomes the (return the counter value to "0") which is reset by the second special symbol stop processing without first special symbol stop processing or illustrated shown in FIG. 165 which will be described later.

  In addition, if the big hit execution flag is not set, the condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is "0" (Step S37) The first special symbol process processing including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the first special symbol is executed (step S38), and the second special symbol stored in the second special symbol storage area The second special symbol including the lottery process according to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the second special symbol condition that the value of the second special reserve number counter showing the number of special random numbers is not "0" (step S37) Process processing is performed (step S39). Thus, in this example, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed when the value of the second special hold number counter is not "0".

  FIG. 156 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first starting opening passage process (step S32).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first starting opening sensor 3422 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball has entered the first starting opening 2201, as shown in FIG. 156. In step S41, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the first special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. And based on this counter value, it is judged whether the number of holdings of the above-mentioned first special symbol is "4" which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S41, when it is determined that the number of reservations of the first special symbol is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put variable display control of the first special symbol into a state of suspension Processing of S42 to S44 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S42, the first special hold number counter is counted up (one added). Next, as the process of step S43, the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, next, as the process of step S44, the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as each random number acquired in this way Store in

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

  FIG. 157 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the second start port passing process (step S34).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2593 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball has entered the second start port 2587b, as shown in FIG. 157. In step S51, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. And based on this counter value, it is judged whether the number of reservations of the above-mentioned 2nd special symbol is "4" which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S51, when it is determined that the number of reservations of the second special symbol is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into a state of suspension Processing of S52 to S54 will be performed. That is, first, in the process of step S52, the second special hold number counter is counted up (one added). Next, as the process of step S53, the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, next, as the process of step S54, the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as each random number thus acquired Store in

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

  FIG. 158 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol process (step S38). The first special symbol process processing executed in step S38 of the special symbol process processing and the second special symbol process processing executed in step S39 of the special symbol process processing are program modules similar to each other, and random numbers used for determination Since only the tables are different, only the first special symbol process processing executed in step S38 of the special symbol process processing will be described here. In the first special symbol process processing, one of the following five process treatments will be selectively executed in accordance with the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag.

1. The first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is read, and based on the read first special random number, a lottery process or the like is performed on the display mode at the time of stopping the variation control of the first special symbol. Symbol normal processing (step S80)
2. The first special symbol stop symbol setting process in which the determination process of the mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol (step S81 )
3. A lottery for the variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 based on the variation random number, and the variation mode of the effect display executed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 corresponding to the special symbol First variation pattern setting process (step S82)
4. First special symbol variation processing to stand by until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 1185 is stopped (step S83)
5. The first special symbol display mode 1185 is displayed as the first special symbol display 1185 when the first special symbol variation control is stopped, which is determined based on the result of the lottery process about the display mode at the time of the variation control suspension of the first special symbol. First special symbol stop processing to stop the variation display of the first special symbol (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S80) should be performed in the above-described processing of step S1 (see FIG. 154).

  FIG. 159 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal processing (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 159, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S101. As processing of, it is judged whether there is fluctuation display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension based on the counter value by the first special suspension number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension, then it is stored in the first special symbol suspension storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the processing of step S102. The random number stored in the first storage area of the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the variable random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol . Then, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special holding number counter is counted down and the first special symbol storage area of the first special symbol holding storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored. A shift operation is performed on a random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol in a first-in first-out mode.

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

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

  FIG. 160 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the big hit determination process (step S105).

  The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is in the high probability state shown in FIG. 161A if the current gaming state is the high probability state (high probability time short state, high probability non-short state) (step S111) The big hit determination table is selected (step S112), and if the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), the big hit determination table for low probability shown in FIG. 161 (A) is selected (step S113). The determined big hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S114).

  The big hit determination table shown in FIG. 161A is stored in the ROM 4100 d of the main control MPU 4100 a, and the gaming state is low probability (normal state (low probability non-short time state) and short time state (low probability time short state)) The jackpot determination table for low probability used for the game and the jackpot determination table for high probability used when the gaming state is high probability (high probability non-short time state, high probability time short state) are provided. And, in the big hit judgment table at low probability, it matches with the big hit judgment value which shows that 3 types of 1st special random numbers were won in a big hit, and it is out of place judgment that 1168 types of 1st special random numbers show the above The first special random numbers are associated with one another so as to match the values. In the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process, in the jackpot determination table at low probability referred to compare with the second special random number, it is compared with the first special random number As in the low probability big hit judgment table for low probability to be referred to, it matches with the big hit judgment value indicating that the 3 types of second special random numbers win the big hit, and the 1168 types of second special random numbers are deviated from the above The second special random numbers are respectively associated with each other so as to coincide with the out-of-range determination value indicating that.

  Also, in the high probability big hit determination table, 24 types of first special random numbers including the same first special random number as the first special random number set in the low probability big hit determination table match the big hit determination value, The first special random numbers are associated with one another such that the 1147 types of first special random numbers match the disconnection determination value. Thus, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability time short state, high probability short time state), when the big hit judgment value indicating that the big hit is won is low probability (normal state (low probability short time state And eight times the short time state (low probability time short state)). In the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process, the high probability big hit judgment table to be referred to compare with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number In order to make a big hit, 24 kinds of second special random numbers including the same second special random number as the second special random number set in the big hit judgment table at low probability as well as the big hit judgment table at high probability to be referred to The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the player has won, and to match the outlier determination value indicating that the second special random number of 1147 types is the above-mentioned deviation.

  If the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected big hit determination table with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing, it determines that it is a big hit (step S115) ), The big hit flag which shows that the particular fluctuation is hit big is set, it ends processing (step S116), the 1st special read out at step S102 of the selected big hit judgment table and the 1st special symbol normal processing As a result of comparison with the random numbers, when it is determined that there is a loss, the reach determination table shown in FIG. 161 (B) is compared with the reach random numbers read in step S102 (step S117).

  The reach determination table shown in FIG. 161 (B) is stored in the ROM 4100 d of the main control MPU 4100 a, and is used when the gaming state is short (high probability short status, low probability short status). The non-time-reach reach determination table used when the gaming state is non-time-short (high probability non-time-short state, low probability non-time-short state) is provided. Then, in the reach determination table at the time of time saving, the reach random numbers do not match the reach determination value indicating that all 239 reach random numbers reach, and the reach random numbers match so as to match the reach determination value indicating no reach. Each is associated. As described above, when it is determined that the reach is out during the short time, the reach is not determined to be out, so the reach flag described later is not set, and the reach effect is not performed. For this reason, when the reach is formed at a short time and the reach effect is executed, it can be recognized that a big hit will be made at that time, and the reach effect can be enjoyed with ease.

  Further, in the non-time-shortening reach determination table, the above reach is determined so that the 12 reach random numbers match the reach determination value indicating reach, and the 227 reach random numbers match the reach determination value indicating no reach The random numbers are associated with one another. As described above, in the non-time component, the reach determination value indicating the reach is provided unlike the time component. For this reason, even if reach is formed at non-short time and reach effect is executed, it can not be recognized whether or not a big hit will be made until all the decoration symbols are stopped and displayed.

  The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected reach determination table with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S117), and when it is determined that the reach is out (step S118), the variation Sets a reach flag indicating that it is a reach, and the process ends (step S119).

  FIG. 162 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 162, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs the process of FIG. The result of the lottery process of the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the first special symbol, that is, the result of the above-mentioned big hit determination process (step S105) is determined. The determination of the lottery process result is performed by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S121).

  If the big hit flag is set in step S121, main control MPU 4100a compares the first symbol random number read out in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 161 (C). (Step S122) The type of the big hit is determined, and the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined type of the big hit is determined (step S123). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S121, it is determined that the first special symbol is out of pattern as the variation stop state (step S124).

  As shown in FIG. 161 (C), in the symbol determination table, each determination result (non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, non-specific 2 4 R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4R normal big hit D, specific 1 4R latent big hit, specific 2 4R positive big hit A, specific 3 4R positive variation big hit, specific 4 12R positive variation big hit A, specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B, specific 6 4R positive A large random number B, a specific 7 16R probability variation large number large circle) is stored in a form in which symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) are associated. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the type of the jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the determination probability of the type of jackpot determined based on the first symbol random number and the determination probability of the type of jackpot determined based on the second symbol random number are set to be different ing.

7. The opening and closing pattern to be closed after opening the first big winning opening 2102 for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is repeated 4 times to control the 4R big hit gaming state where the gaming ball is difficult to enter the first big winning opening 2102 , After the end of the 4R big hit gaming state control of the special symbol (first special symbol and the second special symbol) until the variable display of the special symbol is executed 10 times (control display of the special symbol more than 10 times) Sometimes it is a transition control to low probability non-short time state), and it is a non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B which becomes the execution opportunity of the fate branch direction production

10. The game ball controls the second big winning opening 2509 into a difficult 4R big hit gaming state by repeating the opening and closing pattern to be closed after opening the second big winning opening 2509 for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) four times After the end of the 4R big hit gaming state, it is controlled to the high probability time short state until it becomes big hit again, and the specific 6 4R stupid big hit B which becomes the execution opportunity of the fate branch effect

  In this example, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. And, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, the distribution of the determination value is set to be different compared to the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, so that the determination ratio of each big hit is different ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 161 (C), in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, the non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, the specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, the specific 2 4 R sudden probability big hit While the distribution of the judgment value is set only for the specific 3 4R probability variation big hit, the specific 4 12R probability variation big hit A, and the specific 5 12R probability variation big hit B, the symbol determination corresponding to the second special symbol is determined In the table, non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R super big hit B, specific 7 16 R probability variation big hit only for the hit Distribution is set.

  In this example, the opening time of the first large winning opening 2102 per round in the big hit gaming state in non-specific 1 and specific 1, 3 and non-specific 2 to 4 (the opening and closing member 2104 of the above-mentioned attacker unit 2100 The opening control time is made different. Specifically, in the case of non-specification 1 and specificity 1 and 3, while controlling the opening time of the first large winning opening 2102 per round to 28.5 seconds, it is controlled to a long-time opening. In the case of non-specific 2 to 4, the opening time of the first large winning opening 2102 per round is controlled to a short time opening of 0.5 seconds which is extremely shorter than the long opening time. . As described above, in the case of non-specification 2 to 4, since the opening time of the first large winning opening 2102 per round is too short, the opening control of the opening and closing member 2104 of the attacker unit 2100 is recognized Even in this case, it is difficult to win the game ball in the first large winning opening 2102. That is, during the control of the big hit game state of the short time opening using the first big winning opening 2102, the gaming ball hardly wins the first big winning opening 2102, and the first big winning opening 2102 Unlike during the control of the jackpot gaming state of long time opening using the, it can not be expected to obtain many gaming balls.

  Further, in the same manner as described above, in this example, the opening time of the second large winning opening 2509 per round in the big hit gaming state in the specific 2, 6 and the specific 4, 5, 7 (the second attack unit 2570 The time to open and control the second opening and closing member 2572 is made different. Specifically, when it becomes identification 4, 5, and 7, it controls to long-time opening which makes the opening time of the above-mentioned 2nd big winning a prize mouth 2509 per round 28.5 seconds, but it is specified In the case of 2, 6, the opening time of the second large winning opening 2509 per round is controlled to a short time opening which is 0.5 second which is extremely shorter than the long time opening. As described above, when it is specified 2 or 6, since the opening time of the second large winning opening 2509 per round is too short, the opening control of the second opening / closing member 2572 of the second attacker unit 2570 is performed. Even if it is recognized, it is difficult to win the game ball in the second big winning opening 2509. That is, during the control of the big hit game state of the short time opening using the second large winning opening 2509, the game ball hardly wins the second large winning opening 2509, and the second large winning opening 2509 Unlike during the control of the jackpot gaming state of long time opening using the, it can not be expected to obtain many gaming balls.

  Although details will be described later, in the non-time-short state (low probability non-time short state, high-probability non-time short state), the door member 2589 is not driven even if the game ball passes through the gate portion 2301. Therefore, in the non-time saving state, the winning of the gaming ball to the second starting opening 2587b does not occur, and by hitting left, only the winning of the gaming ball to the first starting opening 2201 will occur, and the second special Only the variation display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 1185 is executed except when there is a symbol holding ball, the big hit related to the first special symbol (non-specified 1 4R normal big hit A, specified 1 A 4R latent big hit, a specific 2 4R positive big hit A, a specific 3 4R positive variation big hit, a specific 4 12R positive variation big hit A, a specific 5 12 R positive variation big hit B) will occur. On the other hand, in the time saving state (high probability time short state, low probability time short state), the game ball passes through the gate portion 2301 to drive the door member 2589. Therefore, in the time saving state, as long as you hit the right, only winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 2587b will occur, and in the second special symbol indicator 1186 except when there is a holding ball of the first special symbol Only the variation display of the second special symbol is executed, the big hit related to the second special symbol (non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R sudden big hit B, specific 7 16R positive variation big hit) will occur.

  In addition, in the big hit related to the first special symbol, while it is possible to control 4R big hit gaming state or 12R big hit gaming state as a long hit open gaming state, the big hit related to the second special symbol is long The percentage determined to be a big hit (specific 7 16R probability variation big hit) that can be controlled to 16R big hit gaming state as opening big hit gaming state, and further controlled to long open 16R big hit gaming state related to the second special symbol Since the game is set to 75%, a game based on winning of the game ball in the second start opening 2587b is executed by hitting the right in a short time, the game to the first start opening 2201 can be hit in the left It is possible to obtain a large number of winning balls compared to the non-short time state in which the game based on the ball winning is executed.

  Moreover, if the kind of big hit is determined, the stop design according to the kind of big hit will be determined as a mode at the time of the stop of the first special symbol. Specifically, when it is decided to be a non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, it is decided to be a big hit symbol 4R normal big hit A symbol as a big hit symbol, and when it is decided to be a specific 1 4R latent certain hit, it is 4R latent probability as a big hit symbol Determined as a big hit symbol, when it is decided to a specific 2 4R stupid big hit A, it decides as a big hit symbol as a 4R stupid big hit A symbol, and when it decides to a specific 3 4R definite variation big hit, it as a big hit symbol 4R definite variation big hit symbol If it is decided on, and it is decided on the specific 4 12R probability variation big hit A, it is decided on the 12R probability variation big hit A symbol as the big hit symbol and if it is decided on the specific 5 12R probability variation big hit B it is the big hit symbol 12R probability variation big hit B symbol Decide on. In addition, in the second special symbol stop symbol setting processing not shown, if it is decided to be 4R normal big hit B of non specific 2 as a big hit symbol it is decided to be 4R normal big hit B symbol and decided to be non specific 3 4R normal big hit C In the case of a big hit symbol, it is decided to be 4R normal big hit C symbol, and when it is decided to be 4 R normal big hit D not specified, it is decided to be 4R normal big hit D symbol as big hit symbol If determined, it will be decided on the 4R sudden probability big hit B symbol as the big hit symbol, and if decided on the specific 7 16R positive variation big hit, it will be decided on the 16 R positive variation big hit symbol as the big hit symbol.

  And after the decision processing about the stop design is done in this way, as the processing of step S125, these drawing results (the kind of big hit, reach out indication, either of the out indication (the form of the stop special pattern of the first special symbol A determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that the instruction may be sent to the peripheral control board 4010). And after that, this process is complete | finished when the above-mentioned 1st special symbol process flag is updated so that a process may be transfered to said 1st fluctuation pattern setting process (step S82) as a process of step S126. Peripheral control MPU 4140a starts fluctuating display of the left, middle and right decorative symbols based on the received judgment result notification command and fluctuation pattern command, and stops and displays them in the order of left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle decorative symbol Thus, the display control of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is performed.

  Specifically, the peripheral control MPU 4140a is a mode (stop symbol) at the time of the variation stop of the decorative symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, from the received judgment result notification command out of the big hit related to the first special symbol If you specify a non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, determine it as a 4 R normal big hit A symbol (a combination of the same symbols except '3' and '7' among the symbols '1' to '9'), If you identify the specific 1 4R latent probability big hit, you decide on the 4R latent definite big hit symbol (common to 4R normal big hit A symbol), and if you identify the specific 2 4R critical big hit A, the 4 R critical probability big hit A symbol ( Determine the left and right decorative designs as the same design except “3” and “7” among the “1” to “9” designs, and determine the middle decorative design as a combination different from the left and right decorative designs. Specific 5 12R probability variation big hit B If specified, it is decided on 12R probability variation big hit B symbol (common to 4R normal big hit A symbol), and the decided stop symbol at the time of lapse of the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern command (at the end of reach effect) The display control on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is performed. As described above, when the symbol drawn as "Fate branch symbol" is stopped as the inner decorative symbol after formation of the reach symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is a big hit However, it is not possible to determine which of the non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, the specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, the specific 2 4 R stupid big hit A, and the specific 5 12 R probability variation big hit B. In addition, when it becomes specific 2 4R sudden probability big hit A, because the decoration design of the left middle right becomes stop indication with the same design as the exfoliation design which becomes 2 or more types of designs, the distinction whether it is big hit or not It will be difficult.

  In this example, among the big hit related to the first special symbol from the received judgment result notification command, the non-specified 1 4R normal big hit A, the specified 1 4 R latent probability big hit, the specified 2 4 R stupid big hit A, the specified 5 In the case of specifying the 12R probability variation big hit B, after stopping the variation of the left and right decoration symbols with the same symbol, the fate selection chance presentation as a presentation using the branch sensor 2620 in which the game ball can pass in the game area 1100 Is supposed to run. In this fate selection chance effect, when the game ball passes and is detected by the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right strike, non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A or specific 1 4R based on the determination result notification command It is designed to derive a rendering result that indicates either a low probability big hit, a specific 2 4R high probability big hit A, or a specific 5 12 R positive variation big hit B.

  Specifically, as a presentation result of the fate selection chance presentation, specified non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A or specific 1 4R latent certain hit among jackpots related to the first special symbol from the received judgment result notification command In the case of non-specific 1 4R normal jackpot A or specific 1 4R latent jackpot is determined to be a presentation result that suggests a particular 2 4R jackpot jackpot A If you identify a specific 2 4R jackpot jackpot A If it is decided to be the rendering result to be specified, and the specified 5 12R probability variation big hit B is specified, it is decided to be the presentation result indicating the specification 5 12R probability variation big hit B. Thus, when a rendering result indicating non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A or specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit is derived as a presentation result of fate selection chance presentation, non-specific 1 4 R normal big hit A or specific 1 It is not possible to determine which is the 4R latent probability big hit of the, and it can be determined to control to the 4R big hit gaming state of long time opening using the first big winning opening 2102, but the 4R big hit gaming state It is not possible to determine whether to control to the low probability non-short state or to the high probability non-short state after completion. Then, after the termination of the 4R big hit gaming state, it is determined that it is controlled to the high probability non-short state from entering into the probability variation latent mode which is difficult to determine whether it is the high probability non-short state or not. I can not

  On the other hand, when a presentation result that suggests a specific 2R of the 2R, a certain probability hit A is derived as a presentation result of the fate selection chance presentation, control is made to the 4R big hit gaming state of a short time opening using the second big winning opening 2509, It can be determined to control to the high probability time reduction state after the end of the 4R big hit gaming state. In addition, when a presentation result that suggests a specific 5 12R probability variation big hit B is derived as a presentation result of fate selection chance presentation, it is controlled to 12R big hit gaming state of long time opening using the 2nd big winning opening 2509, It can be determined to control to the high probability time reduction state after the end of the 12R big hit gaming state. Then, after the termination of the 4R big hit gaming state or the 12R big hit gaming state, it is clearly entered that the high probability time short state is entered and the high probability time short state is controlled by entering into the high probability time short state (probability change state). It can be determined.

  In addition, peripheral control MPU 4140a, as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of the variation stop of the decorative symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, from the received judgment result notification command from among the big hit related to the first special symbol Specific 3 When 4R probability variation big hit is specified, it is decided on 4R probability variation big hit design (combination of "3" among the symbols of "1"-"9"), and when 12 R probability variation big hit A of specification 4 is specified, 12R probability variation Big hit A symbol (combination of '1'-'9' among '7' of symbols) is decided, the decision stop when the fluctuation time which is specified from fluctuation pattern command elapses (at the end of reach production) The display control of the symbol on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is performed. Thus, when the combination of the same decorative symbol as the decorative symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 stops fluctuating, it is the specific 3 4R probability variation big hit or the identification 4 12 R probability variation big hit from the stop symbol of the decoration symbol Determine whether it is A, long time open 4R big hit gaming state using the first large winning opening 2102 or 12R big hit open state long time opening using the second large winning opening 2509 high probability time short state after the end of the gaming state It can be determined to control. Then, after the termination of the 4R big hit gaming state or the 12R big hit gaming state, it is clearly entered that the high probability time short state is entered and the high probability time short state is controlled by entering into the high probability time short state (probability change state). It can be determined.

  In addition, peripheral control MPU 4140a is not specified 2 among the big hit related to the second special symbol from the received judgment result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of the variation stop of the decoration symbol displayed on main liquid crystal display device 1900. When 4R normal big hit B of is specified, 4R normal big hit B design (the left and right decorative designs are the same design (reach design) among the designs of “1” to “9”, and the middle decorative design is “Fate branch design "A combination of decorative symbols that are drawn as". A symbol drawn as "fate branch symbol" is determined to be a symbol that can appear as a middle decorative symbol only after the reach symbol is formed. If you specify non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, it is decided to be 4R normal big hit C symbol (4R normal big hit B symbol and common) and if non specific 4 4R normal big hit D is specified, it is 4R normal big R is determined to be the D symbol (common to the 4R normal big hit B symbol), and when the specific 6 4R positive big hit B is specified, it is determined to the 4 R positive big hit B symbol (4 R normal big hit B same symbol as the symbol) When 16R probability variation big hit is specified, it is decided to 16R probability variation big hit symbol (4R normal big hit B symbol and common) and it is decided at the time of lapse of fluctuation time specified from fluctuation pattern command (at the end of reach production) Display control of the stop symbol on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is performed. As described above, when the symbol drawn as "Fate branch symbol" is stopped as the inner decorative symbol after formation of the reach symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is a big hit Although it can be determined, non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R stupid big hit B, specific 7 16 R probability variation big hit It can not be determined either.

  Also, in this example, the big hit related to the second special symbol from the received judgment result notification command (non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specific In the case of specifying 6R of 4R sudden big hit B, specific 7 of 16R positive variation big hit, after stopping display of the left and right decorative symbols (reach symbols) based on the fluctuation pattern command, specific reach production (fate branch production It is designed to execute a reach effect that is a trigger for execution. Then, in the game area 1100, after the symbol drawn as "Fate branch symbol" is stopped as the inside decoration symbol at the time of elapse of the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern command (at the end of reach effect) A fate branch effect is performed as an effect using a branch sensor 2620 through which game balls can pass. In this fate branch effect, if a game ball passes and is detected in the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right strike, whether or not it is a specified 7 16R probability variation big hit based on the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command It is designed to derive a presentation result that suggests something. As described above, when the effect result of the fate branch effect is derived, it is determined from the effect result whether or not it is the 16R probability variation big hit of the specific 7 and the long open 16R big hit game using the second large winning opening 2509 It is possible to determine whether to control to the state and to control to the high probability time reduction state after the end of the 16R big hit gaming state.

  Specifically, as a staging result of the fate branch effect, if the specified 7 16R probability variation big hit is identified among the big hit related to the second special symbol from the received judgment result notification command, the specification 7 16R probability variation big hit is suggested If it is decided to the staging result and it specifies non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non specific 4 4R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R stupid big hit B specific 7 16R probability variation It decides on the presentation result which suggests big hit other than big hit. In this way, when a presentation result that suggests a specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit is derived as a presentation result of the fate branch effect, it is controlled to a long open 16R big hit gaming state using the second big winning opening 2509, It is possible to determine to control to the high probability time short state after the end of the 16R big hit gaming state. Then, after the termination of the 16R big hit gaming state, it is possible to enter into a probability variation middle mode capable of determining that it is a high probability time reduction state (probability change state), and it can be clearly determined that it is controlled to a high probability time reduction state .

  On the other hand, when a staging result that suggests a big hit other than the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit is derived as the staging result of the fate branching staging, the non-specific 2's 4R normal big hit B, the non-specific 3's 4R normal big hit C, the non-specific 4 It is not possible to determine which of the 4R normal big hit D and the specific 6 4R hit big hit B, and it is determined to control to the 4R big hit gaming state for a short time opening using the first big winning opening 2102 Although it is possible, it is not possible to determine whether to control to the low probability time-short state or to control the high probability time-short state after the end of the 4R big hit gaming state, and how long the time reduction state will be continued. In addition, after the end of the 4R big hit gaming state, it enters into the time mode in which it is possible to determine that it is a short time state, each time the variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol and second special symbol) is executed 10 times In addition, an effect of whether or not the time saving mode is continued is executed. That is, in the case of non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, when the variation display of the special symbol is executed 10 times derives the presentation result that does not continue the time saving mode, and ends the low probability time saving condition and low Transition control to probability non-time short state. In addition, when it is non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, when the fluctuation indication of the special design is executed 10 times it derives the rendition result which continues the mode in the time saving mode, but when it is executed 20 times Derivation results that do not continue in the middle mode are derived, and the low probability time-short state is ended and transition control to the low probability time-short state is performed. In addition, when it is non-specific 4 4R normal big hit D, when the variable display of the special symbol is executed 10 times, 20 times it derives the demonstration result which continues time mode during the squeezing, but it is executed 30 times When the time-span mode is not continued, a rendering result is derived, and the low-probability time-situ state is ended to shift control to the low-probability non-time-span state. In addition, when it is specified 6 4R sudden probability big hit B, when it is executed 30 times while deriving the effect result of continuing the time mode during the short time when the variation display of the special symbol is executed 10 times and 20 times Since the effect of transitioning from the time saving mode to the probability changing mode is derived, it can be clearly determined that the high probability time saving state is being controlled.

  In addition, as a mode (stop symbol) at the time of the variation stop of the decorative symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the peripheral control MPU 4140a causes the reach with a reach when the reach is specified from the received judgment result notification command. Design (a combination of decorative designs that are not identical, but the left and right decorative designs are the same), and if you identify an outset, a outlying design with no reach (a combination of decorative designs that are not identical, but left and right) The symbol is determined to be non-identical, and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command elapses (when the game effect is ended), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900.

  FIG. 163 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 163, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets the big hit flag. If it is (step S141), the type of jackpot determined in step S123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing, and the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) at the time of jackpot according to the current gaming state is selected (step S142) If the reach flag is set (step S143), the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach according to the current gaming state is selected (step S144), and both the big hit flag and the reach flag If it is not set, that is, it will be normal release (a reach effect is not performed) To selects the off time of the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) (step S145).

  Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S146), and the determined variation pattern is to be started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 4010 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 is started (step S147). Further, the main control MPU 4100a sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S149). As a result, effect control is performed in the first special symbol display 1185, the main liquid crystal display device 1900, and the sub liquid crystal display device 3111 for the determined fluctuation time.

  The variation pattern table of this example is provided with a plurality of types for each determination result based on the special random number (first special random number, second special random number) and the symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). In addition, in the fluctuation patterns set in each fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for fluctuation display control of the above special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is It is stored in a form associated with each of the variable random numbers. Thus, main control MPU 4100a selects a variation pattern table selected from among a plurality of variation pattern tables according to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number, and the variation random number read out in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing. Are compared, and fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is acquired from this table to determine the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). Thereby, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 4100a.

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

  In addition, when the variable display control of the first special symbol is started, the first special symbol process flag described above is transferred to the first special symbol variation processing (step S83) as the processing of step S149 next. When updated, this processing ends.

  In this example, in the variation pattern table at the time of disconnection, the variation time information of the special symbol set to about 1 second at the time of short is associated with the above special symbol random number (first special symbol, second special symbol). When the time is short, the variation time information of the special symbol set to about 12 seconds is associated with the special symbol random number (first special symbol, second special symbol), and the variation pattern of the special symbol is set. That is, as compared with the variation pattern at the time of non-short time, the variation pattern at the time of short time selected as the time-short can be extremely short in time required for the variable display control of the special symbol. The fluctuation time information of the symbol is set.

  FIG. 164 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 164, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S171. As a process of (1), the fluctuation timer for which the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the fluctuation pattern is set is decremented by one. Then, if it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the above-mentioned lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process proceeds to the above-mentioned first special symbol stop processing (step S84) in the processing of step S173, this processing is ended.

  FIG. 165 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 165, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S181. The display control for displaying the stop symbol determined by the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display 1185 is performed as the processing of A stop display command for instructing derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol according to the stop symbol of the symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 4010 (step S182).

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines whether or not the counter value of the time counter is "0" while the time reduction flag is set and the number of continuation times of the time reduction state is set. (Step S183). Then, if this counter value is not "0", after counting down the time counter (step S184), it is further determined whether the counter value of the simultaneous short counter is "0" (step S185). . As a result, if the same counter value is "0", the above-mentioned time saving flag is reset (step S186). If it is determined that the counter value of the time reduction counter is "0" in the process of step S183, or if it is determined that the time reduction counter is not "0" in the process of step S185. At that time, the process proceeds to step S187.

  In addition, when the above-mentioned big hit flag is set (step S187), among the big hits which relate to the 1st special symbol, the big hit which becomes the execution opportunity of the fate selection chance presentation (non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, specification 1 It is determined whether or not it is the 4R latent probability big hit, the specific 2 4R positive definite big hit A, and the specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B) (step S188). And if it is not a big hit that will be the execution opportunity of the fate choice chance presentation (if it is a specific 3 4R probability variation big hit or a specific 4 12 R probability variation big hit A), set the jackpot start command to start the jackpot gaming state (Step S189) The standby time (period for displaying the jackpot gaming state to be displayed, etc.) until the jackpot gaming state is started (the jackpot round start command is set) is set in the interval timer (step S190). Then, next, when the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset, and when the time shortening flag is set, the time shortening flag is reset, and the count value of the time reduction counter is If it is not "0", the same counter value is reset (returned to "0"), and then a big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set (step S191), and the first special symbol process is executed. When the flag is updated such that the process is shifted to the first special symbol normal processing which is the initial value (step S192), this processing is ended.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S188 that a big hit is an opportunity to execute the fate selection chance effect, if the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset, and the short time flag If the flag is set, the short time flag is reset, and if the counter value of the time counter is not "0", the counter value is reset (returned to "0"), and then the game by the branch sensor 2620 is performed. A branch sensor valid flag indicating that a branch sensor valid state for validating ball detection is set is set (step S193), and the process proceeds to step S192. As described above, when it is determined that the jackpot is an opportunity to execute the fate selection chance effect, the branch sensor effective flag is set, and it is determined that the branch sensor effective flag is set in step S35 of the special symbol process processing. And the branch sensor passage process (step S40) is performed.

  In addition, in step S188 of the first special symbol stop processing, among the big hits related to the first special symbol, the big hit that becomes the execution opportunity of the fate selection chance presentation (non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, specific 1 4R latent probability Although it is determined whether it is a big hit, specific 2 4R sudden big hit A, specific 5 12 R positive variation big hit B), in the second special symbol stop processing not shown, it is fate among the big hit related to the second special symbol Big hit (non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R stupid big hit B, specific 7 16R definite variation big hit which becomes execution opportunity of the branch production It is determined whether or not And when it is judged that it is a big hit that becomes the execution opportunity of the fate branch effect, as in the case where it is judged as the big hit that becomes the execution event for the fate selection chance effect, the branch sensor valid flag is set and the special symbol process processing At step S35, it is determined that the branch sensor effective flag is set, and the branch sensor passage process (step S40) is performed.

  The big hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010, and the type of big hit (4R normal big hit A, 4R normal big hit B, 4R normal big hit C, 4R normal big hit D, 4R latent big hit, 4R Big hit A, 4R probability variation big hit, 12R probability variation big hit A, 12R probability variation big hit B, 4R probability big hit B, 16R probability variation big hit) are prepared individually. In step S189, a big hit start command (4R normal big hit A start command, 4R normal big hit B start command, 4R normal big hit C start command, 4R normal big hit D start command, 4R latent positive big hit start command, 4R Sudden large hit A start command, 4R positive variation big hit start command, 12R positive variation big hit A start command, 12R positive variation big hit B start command, 4R sudden positive hit B start command, 16R positive variation big hit start command). As a result, effects according to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit start command are executed by the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the sub liquid crystal display device 3111, the lamp / LED, and the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like.

  In the above step S189, the waiting time until the big hit gaming state starts is set in the interval timer, but when the waiting time set in this interval timer has passed, the big hit control process (not shown) (step S41) Control the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509 in an open state according to the type of the big hit, and the type and current number of rounds of the big hit as a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010 Set the corresponding big hit round start command. In addition, a predetermined time (for example, 28.5 seconds when opening for a long time, 0.5 seconds when opening for a short time) has elapsed from the open state of the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509 When the game ball wins nine or the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509 when the game ball is open, or in the big hit control process (step S41) not shown, the first large of the open state While controlling the winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509 in a closed state, set the big hit round end command according to the type of big hit and the current number of rounds as a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010, all As long as the number of rounds is not ended, the waiting time until the start of the next round is reset to the interval timer. Thus, the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the sub liquid crystal display device 3111, the lamp / LED, and the speakers 130, 222, effects according to the type and the number of rounds of the jackpot instructed by the jackpot round start command and the jackpot end command. 262 and so on.

  FIG. 166 is a flowchart of the branch sensor passage process (step S40).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S201 that the detection signal by the branch sensor 2620 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball has passed to the branch sensor 2620, as shown in FIG. 166, The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is to be started as the processing of step S202, and until the big hit gaming state is started (big hit round start command is set) A standby time (a period for displaying a message to start the big hit gaming state or the like) is set in the interval timer (step S203). When the big hit in progress flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set after resetting the branch sensor valid flag (step S204), this processing is ended. Thus, when it is determined that the game ball has passed to the branch sensor 2620, the big hit running flag is set, and the big hit running flag is set in step S37 of the special symbol process processing. It comes to be judged and big hit control processing (step S41) comes to be performed.

  In this example, among the big hit related to the first special symbol, the big hit that becomes the execution opportunity of the fate selection chance presentation (non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, specific 1 4R latent probability big hit, specific 2 4R stupid big hit A The game ball passes through the branch sensor 2620 even after the stop symbol of the first special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 when it is determined that the special special 12 R probability variation big hit B). Until the big hit execution flag is not set, the big hit control process (step S41) is not executed. Similarly, among jackpots related to the second special symbol, the jackpot that becomes the execution opportunity of the fate branch direction production (non-specific 2 4R normal jackpot B, non-specific 3 4R normal jackpot C, non-specific 4 4R normal jackpot D , If it is determined that the special 6 4R sudden probability big hit B, the specific 7 16 R probability variation big hit), even after displaying the stop symbol of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 1186, the above branch The big hit execution flag is not set in the sensor 2620 until the game ball passes, and the big hit control process (step S41) is not executed.

  FIG. 167 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the normal symbol process (step S15).

  Now, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2586 is in the on state in the process of step S801 and it is determined that the game ball has passed to the gate unit 2585a, as shown in FIG. 167, the main The main control MPU 4100a of the control board 4100 first executes gate part passing processing such as acquiring an ordinary random number of an ordinary symbol from the random number counter and storing it in an ordinary symbol hold storage area of RAM as the processing of step S802. Do.

  Then, in the normal symbol process processing, one of the following five process operations is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag.

1. The normal symbol normal processing in which the normal random number stored in the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a is read out, and the lottery processing for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol is performed based on the read normal random number (step S803)
2. Normal symbol fluctuation time determination processing in which lottery processing or the like for the fluctuation pattern (variation time) of the normal symbol displayed on the above-mentioned normal symbol display 1189 is performed based on the common pattern fluctuation random number (step S804)
3. Normal symbol variation processing to stand by until the variation display of the above normal symbol on the normal symbol display 1189 is stopped (step S805)
4. The pattern at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the normal symbol is displayed on the above-mentioned normal symbol display 1189 Normal symbol stop processing to stop the key (step S806)
5. When the result of the lottery process about the mode at the time of fluctuation control stop of the normal symbol becomes the mode which suggests “per common figure”, the above-mentioned door member 2589 rotates and acceptance of the game ball to the 2nd starting opening 2587b Motor combination release processing (step S 807) that executes processing to control

  The normal symbol process flag is manipulated to indicate that the normal symbol normal processing (step S803) should be performed in the process of step S1 described above (see FIG. 154).

  FIG. 168 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the gate part passing process (step S802).

  Now, in the process of step S801, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2586 is in the on state, and it is determined that the game ball has passed to the gate portion 2585a, as shown in FIG. 168, The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the above-mentioned normal hold number counter from the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S811. And based on this counter value, it is judged whether the number of holdings of a normal symbol is "4" which is the maximum value.

  If it is determined in the process of step S811 that the number of reserved normal symbols is not the maximum value, the following steps S812 to S814 are performed in order to newly put the variable symbol display control of the normal symbols on hold status. It will process. That is, first, as the process of the step S812, the normal number-of-holds counter is incremented (one added). Next, as the process of step S813, the above-mentioned ordinary random number and the above-mentioned common-mode fluctuation random number are acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter. Then, next, in the process of step S814, each random number obtained in this way is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal hold number counter among the storage areas of the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S811 that the number of reserved normal symbols is the maximum value, the variable display control of the normal symbols is not newly suspended. That is, by not executing the processing of step S812 to step S814, the variable display control of the normal symbol is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 169 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol normal processing (step S803).

  When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 169, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs the processing in step S821. Based on the counter value by the normal holding number counter, it is determined whether or not there is fluctuation display control of the normal symbol in the holding state. As a result, when it is determined that there is fluctuation display control of the normal symbol in the state of suspension, next, as the processing of step S822, the ordinary symbol stored in the ordinary symbol storage area of the main control MPU 4100a The random number stored in the first storage area of the random numbers (for example, ordinary random number, common drawing random number) related to the display mode of the symbol is read out from the same RAM. Then, next, as the processing of steps S 823 and S 824, the normal hold number counter is counted down, and the fluctuation display of the normal symbol stored in each storage area of the normal storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100 a is stopped The shift operation is performed in a first-in first-out mode for random numbers (normal random numbers, common drawing random numbers) related to the display mode in.

  Specifically, the normal symbol storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and the random numbers extracted according to the passage of the game ball to the gate 2585a are sequentially ordered from the first (first) area Remember. Then, when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, when the game ball passes through the gate unit 2585a, the extracted random number is on the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area When the variable display start condition stored based on the random number stored and stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Are moved to the (N-1) -th (N = 2 to 4) -th storage area. As a result, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the normal symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first). .

  Next, if the current gaming state is the short time state (low probability time short state, high probability time short state) (step S826), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the spread table per time judgment table (not shown) ) Is selected (step S826), and if the current gaming state is the non-short state (low probability non-short state, high probability non-short state) (step S825), the non-short time per common drawing determination table (not shown) Is selected (step S827), and the selected common drawing determination table is compared with the ordinary random number read in step S822 of the ordinary symbol normal processing (step S828).

  In addition, the determination table for the common drawing is stored in the ROM 4100 d of the main control MPU 4100 a, and the determination table for the common drawing in the short time to be used when the gaming state is short (low probability time short status and high probability time short status), It has a non-time-shorting popular map determination table used when the gaming state is non-time-short (a low probability non-short condition, a high probability non-short condition). Then, in the common time-per-diagram determination table referred to for comparison with the normal random number, the 251 common random numbers correspond to the common-per-diagram determination value indicating that all the common random numbers were selected per common diagram, The above-mentioned ordinary random numbers are associated with each other so as not to be matched with the deviation judgment value which is a deviation. As described above, when the game ball passes to the gate unit 2585a in the time saving mode, the player always wins the game, and the door member 2589 rotates to move the game ball to the second starting opening 2587b. It controls the acceptance possible.

  In addition, in the non-short time common drawing determination table referred to for comparison with the normal random numbers, it is possible that all 251 kinds of the normal random numbers coincide with the common drawing determination value indicating that the common drawing is won. Instead, the above-mentioned ordinary random numbers are respectively associated with each other so as to coincide with the deviation judgment value. As described above, in the short time, even if the game ball passes to the gate portion 2585a, the door member 2589 is pivoted and the second starting opening 2587b because it is not won for the spread figure. There is no possibility to control the reception of gaming balls to.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines that the selected common drawing is the common drawing as a result of comparison between the selected common drawing determination table and the ordinary random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S829). ), After setting the flag per common drawing showing that the fluctuation is won per common drawing (step S 830), per common drawing as a mode (stop symbol of normal design) at the time of change control stop of the normal symbol The symbol is determined (step S831). On the other hand, as a result of comparison between the selected common drawing determination table and the ordinary random number read out in step S822 of the ordinary symbol normal processing, the fluctuation of the ordinary symbol when it is determined to be out of place. A common figure as a mode (stop symbol of a normal symbol) at the time of control stop determines a misaligned symbol (step S832). After that, when the above-mentioned normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the above-mentioned normal symbol variation time determination processing (step S804), this processing is ended.

  In this example, in the control of the time saving state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 251/251, and the lottery result of the normal symbol always becomes a hit, and the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is extreme. Is shortened to a predetermined short time (for example, 0.3 seconds). And when the lottery result of the above-mentioned normal design becomes a hit, it controls with the opening and closing pattern which closes the above-mentioned 2nd starting opening 2587b as an open state for a very long predetermined time (for example, 5.5 seconds) . That is, during the control of the time saving state, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol will be hit is extremely high, and the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is constant and short. The game ball is much easier to win in the second starting opening 2587b due to the long time, etc., and it is more efficient to aim the second starting opening 2587b than the first starting opening 2201 more efficiently. You can win a prize. In the control of the non-short time state, the winning probability of the above normal symbol is set to 0/251, and the lottery result of the above normal symbol does not always hit, and the second starting opening 2587b is aimed at Also, the game ball can not be won in the second starting opening 2587b.

  As described above, during the control of the non-short time state, the game ball can not be won in the second start opening 2587b even when aiming at the second start opening 2587b. In order to win the game ball, it is necessary to aim at the left side of the center character 2500 and fire the game ball (so-called "left-hand"). Further, in the game area 1100 on the left side of the center character 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails are implanted in the front of the game panel 1200 with a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game ball is used for the obstacle nails. By touching, various movements are given to the game ball and it flows down. For this reason, even if the game ball is hit on the left side of the center role 2500 aiming at the first start opening 2201, the first start opening 2201 is not necessarily winning, but the first start opening 2201 is winning The game balls that were not present are discharged to the outside from an out port 1151 provided at the lower end in the left-right direction center of the game area 1100.

  On the other hand, during control of the time saving state, it is more efficient to aim the game ball at the second start port 2587b than at the first start port 2201, so the game ball can be played at the second start port 2587b. In order for the player to win a prize, he must aim at the right side of the center character 2500 and fire the game ball (so-called "right-handed"). In addition, when the second start opening 2587b is opened due to the structure of the game board 4, if the game ball is hit to the right of the center role 2500 aiming at the second start opening 2587b, it passes through the gate portion 2585a. The game ball that has been played is to be won in the second starting opening 2587b with a very high probability. For this reason, during control of the time saving state, the game ball struck on the right side of the center combination 2500 is hardly wasted (discharged to the outside from the out port 1151), and during control of the non-time saving state. As compared with the first starting opening 2201 in the above, the game ball comes to win the second starting opening 2587b extremely efficiently.

  Further, during the control of the time saving state, in addition to the structure of the game board 4, when passing through the gate portion 2585a, the probability of the lottery result of the normal symbol being hit is extremely high, and the fluctuation display of the normal symbol It is easy for the game ball to win the second start opening 2587b due to the time required for control being constant and short and the open state of the second start opening 2587b being long, etc. Furthermore, the game is performed to the second start opening 2587b When the ball wins, the time required for the variable display control of the special symbol is about 1 second, which is extremely short compared to the range of 10 to 120 seconds during the control of the non-short time state, so the special It is possible to digest the fluctuation display control of the symbol (the suspension of the fluctuation display control of the above special symbol). In other words, if the time reduction state is controlled after the end of the big hit gaming state, hitting the game ball on the right side of the center role 2500 aiming at the second start port 2587b will result in a big hit again in a short time It can be controlled to the jackpot gaming state, it can be expected to obtain many gaming balls. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the number of gaming balls paid out by the winning of the gaming balls to the second starting opening 2587b is one, the number of gaming balls to the second starting opening 2587b is Even if a prize occurs frequently, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player.

[7. Control processing of peripheral control board]
Next, a process performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described. FIG. 170 is a flowchart showing a process procedure of control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 170, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140 a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 is performed. Note that interrupts are disabled during this initialization process, and interrupts are enabled after the initialization process. When the initial setting process (step S501) is completed, a loop process of monitoring whether the 16 ms elapsed flag T has been set or not is started (step S502).

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

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process of controlling the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the sub liquid crystal display device 3111, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262, etc. is executed based on the command received from the main control substrate 4100. When the 16 ms steady process is completed, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, when the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (16 ms elapsed flag T is "0"), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 171 is a flow chart showing an example of the 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the processes of steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process of step S601, the command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the variation pattern setting process (step S147 of the first variation pattern setting process, the process corresponding to the first variation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process process (second variation pattern setting process)) Fluctuation pattern command transmitted by being set, transmitted by being set by the start port passing process (steps S45 and S47 of the first start port passing process and steps S55 and S57 of the second start port passing process) Control processing relating to the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the sub liquid crystal display device 3111 is executed based on the reception of the hold number specification command and the random number specification command.

  Further, in the sound control process of step S603, control processes related to the speakers 130, 222, 262, etc. are executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, control processes related to the lamp and LED provided in the pachinko machine 1 are performed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the lamp driving board 3013 is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating random numbers (for example, pre-read random numbers) used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

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

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

[8. Fate branch directing using a special gate section]
In the present embodiment, the jackpot related to the second special symbol triggered by the game ball winning in the second starting opening 2587b (non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4R Normal Big Hit D, Specific 6 4R Probable Big Hit B, Specific 7 16R Probability Big Hit), the fate branch as an effect using the bifurcation sensor 2620 in which the game ball can pass in the game area 1100 It is supposed to carry out the production. In this fate branch effect, when the game ball passes and is detected by the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right strike, control of the big hit gaming state according to the type of big hit is started, and the main liquid crystal display device 1900 It is possible to determine whether it is a jackpot having a high profit value for the player or a jackpot having a low profit value for the player. . Specifically, when a presentation result corresponding to a specific 7 16R probability variation big hit is derived as a jackpot with high profit value, it is controlled to a long open 16 R big hit gaming state using the second big winning opening 2509, It is determined to continue the high probability time short state (due to the probability mode corresponding to the high probability time short state) after the termination of the 16R big hit gaming state, as a jackpot with low profit value as a big hit other than the specific 7 16R probability big hit When the corresponding rendering result is derived, control is made to the 4R big hit gaming state of short time opening using the first big winning opening 2102, and also the high probability time short state to the low probability time short state (low Transition to the time mode as a production mode corresponding to the probability time reduction state (However, in the case of the specific 6 4R sudden probability big hit B internally high probability time reduction state It can be determined that the shift to continue).

  The fate branching effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 172 to 176. FIG. 172 is a timing chart in the case of executing a fate branch rendition based on the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit among the big hits related to the second special symbol. Figure 173 is a big hit other than the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit among the big hits related to the second special symbol (non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4 R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit It is a timing chart in, when performing a fortune branch rendition based on D and specific 6 4R sudden probability big hit B). FIGS. 174 to 176 show specific effect images on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 when the fate branch effect is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 172 and FIG. 173, when it becomes a big hit related to the second special symbol triggered by winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 2587b, first, the non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, It is displayed on the second special symbol display 1186 based on either non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R critical big hit B, specific 7 16R positive variation big hit The second special symbol is controlled to be in a variable display state where variable display is performed.

  Specifically, when the main control MPU 4100a becomes the 16R probability variation big hit of the specific 7 among the big hits related to the second special symbol, the variation time of the second special symbol (effect displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900) Of the plural types of fluctuation patterns in which the effect content (for example, the type of reach effect) displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is set, the fluctuation pattern which can be determined only at the specific 7 . Then, in the second special symbol display 1186, the variation display of the second special symbol is started, and it is determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol when the variation time set in the variation pattern at the time of 16R probability variation big hit has elapsed Stop displaying the 16R probability variation big hit design. On the other hand, among the big hits related to the second special symbol Big hits other than the specified 7 16R probability variation big hits (non-specified 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specified In the case of the 6R 4R sudden big hit B), the variation pattern in which the variation pattern of the 2nd special symbol and the effect contents displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 are the same as the variation pattern at the 16R positive variation big hit As a, the variation pattern which can be determined only at the time of big hit other than 16 R probability variation big hit is determined. And in the second special symbol display 1186, start the variation display of the second special symbol, as the stop symbol of the second special symbol when the variation time set in the variation pattern at the time of big hit other than the 16R probability variation big hit is over Stop display of the determined big hit symbol (4R normal big hit B big hit symbol, 4R normal big hit C big hit symbol, 4R normal big hit D big hit symbol, 4R rough certain big hit B big hit symbol). In addition, when starting variable display of the second special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display 1186, the peripheral control board with the determined type of the big hit as the determination result notification command and the determined fluctuation pattern as the fluctuation pattern command When transmitting to 4010 and displaying the stop symbol of the second special symbol, a stop display command is sent to the peripheral control board 4010.

  On the other hand, in any of the cases where the peripheral control MPU 4140a identifies the big hit related to the second special symbol from the received determination result notification command, the variation display of the decoration symbol is displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the received variation pattern command. After the display of the left and right decorative symbols (reach symbols) is stopped and displayed, a specific reach effect (a reach effect that is a trigger for executing a fate branching effect) is executed. In addition, in the specific reach production, it is performed to be forced to choose the fate whether or not a good rendering result can be obtained, but when the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern command has passed (specific At the end of the reach effect), based on the received stop display command, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 displays the symbol drawn as "Fate branch symbol" as the inside decorative symbol after formation of the reach symbol so as to change and stop Control. That is, at the time of the lapse of the fluctuation time of the second special symbol (at the end of a specific reach effect), the second special symbol display 1186 displays the jackpot symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol. While the main liquid crystal display device 1900 clearly notifies which of the big hits related to the second special symbol is the same symbol (reach the left and right decorative symbols as a stop symbol of the decorative symbol) It is notified that it is a big hit related to the second special symbol by displaying the combination of the decorative symbol which is the symbol) and the inside decorative symbol is the symbol drawn as "Fate branch symbol", but the second special We have not notified which of the jackpots related to the symbol it is. In the display of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol in the main liquid crystal display device 1900, although it is notified that it is a big hit related to the second special symbol, it is small on the screen so that it becomes difficult for the player to distinguish. It does not notify clearly to that effect by displaying.

  Then, after the control of the variation display state described above is ended, that is, after the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol is displayed on the second special symbol display 1186, the detection of the gaming ball by the branch sensor 2620 The branch sensor is to be controlled to be in the valid state.

  Specifically, after the main control MPU 4100a displays the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol, does the game ball pass through the branch sensor 2620 until the branch sensor 2620 detects the game ball? Monitor whether or not. Then, when the game ball is detected passing through the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right hitting in the branch sensor effective state, the control of the branch sensor effective state is ended, and the big hit start command (according to the type of big hit The 4R normal big hit B start command, 4R normal big hit C start command, 4R normal big hit D start command, 4R random confirmation big hit B start command, 16R positive variation big hit start command) are transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010. On the other hand, when the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the stop display command after finishing the specific reach effect, the fate of whether or not the main liquid crystal display device 1900 can obtain a favorable effect result subsequently to the specific reach effect. As if the user were to make a selection, a fate branch effect to instruct the branch sensor 2620 to pass the game ball is executed. That is, in the fate branch effect, the player is notified that the branch sensor unit 2109 has to pass the game ball by performing a so-called right strike.

  Then, after ending the control of the above-mentioned branch sensor effective state, that is, after the game ball passes and is detected by the branch sensor 2620, it is related to the second special symbol as a big hit gaming state according to the type of big hit If it becomes 16R probability variation big hit of specific 7 among the big hit, it controls to 16R big hit game state of long time opening which uses 2nd big winning a prize mouth 2509, the big hit other than specified 7 16R probability variation big hit (non-specific 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R sudden big hit B) in the case of a short time opening using the first large winning opening 2102 It is designed to control the 4R jackpot gaming state.

  Specifically, the main control MPU 4100a is specified 7 in the case where it becomes a specific 7 16R probability variation big hit among the big wins related to the second special symbol after the game ball passes and is detected by the branch sensor 2620. As a big hit gaming state according to the 16R probability variation big hit, after the second big winning opening 2509 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or that nine gaming balls are won in the second big winning opening 2509 second By repeating the open / close pattern to be closed when detected by the count sensor 2578 16 times (16 rounds), the game ball can enter the second large winning opening 2509 so that it can be entered into the 16R big hit gaming state (easy). On the other hand, when it becomes a big hit other than the specific 7R 16R probability variation big hit among the big hit related to the second special symbol, the 1st winning opening as a big hit gaming state according to the big hit other than the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit The game ball controls the first big winning opening 2102 to a difficult 4R big hit gaming state by repeating the open / close pattern to be closed after opening the short time for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) four times. In addition, when controlling the first big winning a prize opening 2102 or the 2nd big winning a prize opening 2509 as a big hit game state, sending a big hit round start command according to the kind of big hit and the current round number to the peripheral control board 4010 sequentially When controlling the first large winning opening 2102 or the second large winning opening 2509 in a closed state, a big hit round end command according to the type of big hit and the current number of rounds is sequentially transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 172, the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the 16R definite variation big hit start command during the execution of the fate branching effect when it becomes the 16R positive variation big hit of the specific 7 among the big hit related to the second special symbol. When it is determined, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 executes the result notification effect as if the good effect result is obtained by the selection of the fate based on the passage of the game ball to the branch sensor 2620 as the effect result of the fate branch effect. As described above, by executing the notice notification effect according to the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, it is clear at the end of the specific reach effect (when the second special symbol fluctuation time has elapsed). In addition to clearly notifying that it is a big hit related to the second special symbol that was not notified, it has notified that it is a specific 7 16R probability variation big hit among jackpots related to the second special symbol. In addition, during execution of the notice notification effect according to the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit, the big hit round start command and the big hit round end command are received sequentially, but the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is 16R positive variation big hit and current round The effect according to the number is not executed, and the notification is not given so that the current number of rounds in the 16R big hit gaming state can be determined. And at the end of the notification effect according to the 16R probability variation big hit of the specific 7, until the third to fourth round (in the case of continuing to hit the so-called right) in the 16R big hit gaming state is finished, but the 16R of the specific 7 After ending the notification notification effect according to the probability variation big hit, until the termination of the control of the 16R probability variation big hit gaming state, based on the received big hit round start command and the big hit round end command, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 to 16R probability variation big hit And the big hit game rendition according to the current number of rounds is executed, and it has been notified that the current number of rounds in the 16R big hit gaming state can be determined.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 173, the peripheral control MPU 4140a is a big hit other than the specified 7's 16R probability variation big hit among the big hits related to the second special symbol (non-specified 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, in the case of 4 non-specific 4R normal big hit D, specific 6 4R special probability big hit B), when the big hit start command according to the type of big hit is received during the execution of the fate branch production, As the presentation result, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 executes the result notification presentation as if the good presentation result was not obtained by the selection of the fate based on the passage of the gaming ball to the branch sensor 2620. As described above, even when the main liquid crystal display device 1900 executes the notification effect according to the big hit other than the specific 7R 16R probability variation big hit, the end time of the specific reach effect (when the change time of the second special symbol elapses) ) As well as clearly not notifying that it is a big hit related to the second special symbol, and it does not notify which big hit other than the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit, it is out as if it is a big hit It is notified as if it is. In addition, during execution of the result notification effect according to the big hit other than the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit, the big hit round start command and the big hit round end command are received sequentially, but the main liquid crystal display device 1900 The effect according to the current number of rounds is not executed, and the notification is not given so that the current number of rounds in the 4R jackpot gaming state can be determined. In addition, by the end of notification notification effect according to the big hit other than the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit, all round numbers in the 4R big hit gaming state open for a short time has ended, the specific 7 16 R probability variation big hit It is trying not to execute such a big hit game rendition.

  In this embodiment, the second special symbol display 1186 is used as the second special symbol display as a variable display state when it becomes a big hit related to the second special symbol triggered by winning of the game ball to the second starting opening 2587b. After the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol is stopped and displayed, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 instructs the branch sensor 2620 to pass the gaming ball in the branch sensor effective state, and the so-called right strike is performed to branch sensor 2620 When a game ball passes and is detected, it controls to the big hit game state according to the kind of big hit. That is, even if the second special symbol display 1186 stops and displays the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol, it is a big hit unless the branch sensor 2620 passes the gaming ball by performing a right-handed strike. There is no control to the jackpot gaming state according to the type. In this way, when the fattening branch effect is performed by controlling the branch sensor to be in the valid state, the player must follow the instructions on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. However, when the branch sensor 2620 passes the gaming ball, the jackpot always The jackpot gaming state is controlled according to the type of the character, and the player's willingness to participate in the fortune branching effect is not diminished.

  Also, in the case of a normal big hit (a big hit that does not become an execution opportunity for fate branching direction or fate selection chance production. For example, a big hit that does not become an execution opportunity for fate choice chance production among big hits related to the first special symbol), A big hit game state according to the type of big hit without controlling the branch sensor active state after stopping the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 1186 as a variable display state It is supposed to control. That is, in the case of a big hit related to the second special symbol (a big hit serving as an opportunity to execute a fate branching effect) as compared with the case of such a normal big hit, the branch sensor effective state is the type of big hit. It can be said that it is a standby state for controlling to the big hit game state according to. As described above, in the standby state (branch sensor enabled state) for controlling to the big hit gaming state according to the type of the big hit, when the branch sensor 2620 passes the game ball, it is immediately controlled to the big hit gaming state The player can start control of the jackpot gaming state at any timing. Therefore, for example, it is not possible to recognize at which timing the control of the jackpot gaming state is started, and a loss of the player that the game ball aiming at the second large winning opening 2509 becomes a dead ball is generated. It can be difficult to do.

  In the present embodiment, when the game ball is hit to the right of the center character 2500 (is hit with a predetermined strength or more), the right route 1100R is rolled along the outer rail 1111 in the game area 1100. After the game ball is sent to the branch passage 2510k, it enters the branch sensor 2620 with a very high probability. That is, during the execution of the fate branch effect (during the control of the branch sensor effective state), the game ball can be made to enter the branch sensor 2620 with extremely high probability only by performing a so-called right hit (however, right hit Even if most game balls enter the branch sensor 2620 when done, all game balls may enter the branch sensor 2620). Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to lose a loss that the game ball aiming at the branch sensor 2620 becomes a dead ball during execution of the fate branch effect (during control of the branch sensor effective state).

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the second big winning opening 2509 is controlled to the open state as a big hit gaming state, the game ball is hit to the right side of the center role 2500 (it is hit with a predetermined strength or more) And the gaming ball having passed through the branch sensor 2620 enters the attack passage 2509 a and is discharged above the second big winning opening 2509. In the game area 1100 on the right side (right route side 1100R) of the center character 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails are not provided as in the game area 1100 on the left side, and the rolling direction of the game ball changes. Nor. For this reason, during control of the big hit gaming state, it is possible to make the second big winning opening 2509 win the gaming ball with an extremely high probability only by performing a so-called right hit. Therefore, during the control of the big hit gaming state, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to lose losses such as the game ball aiming at the second big winning opening 2509 becoming a wasted ball, and the big hit gaming state being digested Time can be made faster.

  Further, as described in step S202 of the branch sensor passing process, the main control MPU 4100a starts the big hit gaming state when it is determined that the game ball has passed to the branch sensor 2620 during execution of the fate branch effect. The standby time until the big hit round start command is set to indicate that the second big winning opening 2509 is actually controlled to the open state is set in the interval timer after the big hit start command indicating that is set. An extremely short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is set to the interval timer. That is, when the game ball passes through the branch sensor 2620 during execution of the fate branch effect, the second big winning opening 2509 is controlled to be in the open state as a big hit game state after a very short time has elapsed. Also, the time set in the interval timer is set to be shorter than the time from when the game ball passes through the branch sensor 2620 to when it reaches the second large winning opening 2509 by performing so-called right strike There is. Therefore, when the gaming ball that has passed the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right hitting reaches the second large winning opening 2509, it has already controlled the second large winning opening 2509 to the open state, and the branch sensor 2620 The game ball which has passed through is to be won in the second big winning opening 2509 as it is. Therefore, the game ball passing the branch sensor 2620 does not become a waste ball during execution of the fate branch effect (during control of the branch sensor effective state), and it is possible to make the player's loss as unlikely as possible.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, at the start of the fluctuation of the second special symbol in the fluctuation display state, it is determined whether or not to be the specific 7 16R probability variation jackpot among the big hit related to the second special symbol, In the fluctuation display state, while performing specific reach production as common reach production, at the time of the lapse of fluctuation time of the 2nd special symbol (at the end of specified reach production) the decoration design common as stop design of decoration design ( It is controlled to display the combination of the left and right decorative symbols as the same symbol (reach symbol) and the middle decorative symbol as the symbol drawn as "fate branch symbol"), and the big hit related to the second special symbol We did not notify which of the big hit it was. Then, only when the game ball passes through the branch sensor 2620 in the branch sensor effective state, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 executes the result notification effect as the effect result of the fate branch effect, and the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit I have notified you whether or not. Therefore, as to whether or not to make a particular 7 16R probability variation big hit among the big hit related to the second special symbol, before the game ball passes to the branch sensor 2620 (prior to the execution of the fate branch effect) Although it has been determined, it becomes possible to make it seem as if the player has decided, by making it possible to distinguish from the staging result of the fated branch effect with the passage of the gaming ball to the branch sensor 2620 as an opportunity. Therefore, when the fate branching effect is executed to derive whether or not it is the 16R probability variation big hit of the specific 7, the player will be in the fate branching effect such that the timing when the gaming ball passes through the branch sensor 2620 will be seen Become actively involved.

  In the present embodiment, when the second special symbol fluctuation time elapses (when the specific reach effect is finished), the second special symbol display 1186 determines the big hit symbol determined as the second special symbol stop symbol. The display clearly indicates which of the jackpots related to the second special symbol is the big hit, but from the stop symbol of the second special symbol displayed on the second special symbol display 1186 It is difficult for the player to judge whether or not the specific 7R 16R probability variation big hit among the big hit related to the special symbol, and the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is provided more prominently than the second special symbol display 1186 Then, the player pays attention to the contents of the effects on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. Therefore, even if the big win symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol is displayed on the second special symbol display 1186, the result notification effect is executed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 as an effect result of the fate branch effect It is difficult for the player to determine whether or not the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in the case where a specific 7 16R probability variation big hit among the big hits related to the second special symbol is specified, the main notice notification production according to the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit as the staging result of the fate branching effect It is executed in the liquid crystal display device 1900, and it is determined from the notification effect that it is a specific 7R 16R probability variation big hit, and it is controlled to the long open 16R big hit gaming state using the second large winning opening 2509 and the 16R It is possible to determine whether or not to control to the high probability time short state after the end of the jackpot gaming state. On the other hand, among the big hits related to the second special symbol Big hits other than the specified 7 16R probability variation big hits (non-specified 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specified In the case where the 4R sudden probability big hit 6 in 6 is specified, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 executes the notification effect according to the big hit other than the 16R probability variation big hit in the specified 7 as the presentation result of the fate branch effect, and the result notification It determines that it is not a specific 7 16R probability variation big hit from the effect, and controls it to the 4R big hit gaming state of the short time opening which uses the 1st big winning a prize mouth 2102 and controls the low probability time short state after the end of the 4R big hit gaming state It is possible to determine that it is (except in the case where a specific 6 4R probability jackpot B is specified). In this way, as the staging result of the fate branch staging effect, it is the result notification directing effect according to the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit, or the result notification effect according to the big hit other than the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hitting, either Because a big difference is generated in the profit obtained by the player based on the result of the effect, the player is used as a result of the effect of the fate branch effect displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. Is particularly focused.

  Also, in the present embodiment, the second large winning opening 2509 is used with the passage of the game ball to the branch sensor 2620 as a trigger in the case of the specific 7R 16R probability variation big hit among the big hits related to the second special symbol At the same time with the control of the 16R big hit gaming state open for a long time, as a result of the fate branch effect based on the big hit start command has started executing the notification effect according to the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit. However, even if the execution of notification effect according to the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit is started, if the notification effect does not progress as a result, the player determines whether or not the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit. It can not be done. That is, before the player determines whether the result notification effect is the specific 7R or the 16R probability variation jackpot, control of the long open 16R big hit gaming state using the second large winning opening 2509 is started. It has become. As a result, even if the game ball passes the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right hitting during execution of the fate branch effect, even if right hitting continues while paying attention to the contents of the effect on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, The game ball does not become a wasted ball as long as it is a special 7 16R probability variation big hit, and the game ball can continue to be won in the second large winning opening 2509 with a very high probability, making it difficult for the player to generate losses. Also, it is possible to expedite the big hit gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, among the big hits related to the second special symbol, the big hit other than the specified 7 16R probability variation big hit (not specified 2 4R normal big hit B, not specified 3 4R normal big hit C, not specified 4 4R In the case where the normal big hit D, specified 6 4R sudden big hit B) is specified, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 executes the notification effect according to the big hit other than the specified 7 16R positive variation big hit as the production result of the fate branch effect However, before ending the notification effect as a result, all the round numbers in the 4R jackpot gaming state of short time opening using the first large winning opening 2102 are ended. As described above, while the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is executing the notice notification effect according to the big hit other than the 16R probability variation big hit of the specific 7 as the staging result of the fate branch effect, the first large winning opening 2102 is used. By controlling the 4R big hit gaming state for a short time open, as long as the player pays attention to the notification effect as a result, it is controlled to the 4R big hit gaming state for a short time opening using the first large winning opening 2102 It is possible to eliminate the sense of loss of the player that the player is in a big hit gaming state where it is hard to notice that there is a big profit.

  Next, a specific rendering example of the fate branching effect in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 will be described with reference to FIGS. 174 to 176. In this production example, among the big hits related to the second special symbol, the fate branching effect is executed based on the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit, and the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit other than the big hit (non-specific 2 4R In the case where the fate branching effect is performed based on the big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big-hit C, non-specific 4 4R normal big-hit D, and specific 6 4R sudden big hit B).

  As shown in FIG. 174 (A), in any of the cases in which the jackpot associated with the second special symbol is specified, the variation display of the decoration symbol is started on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the variation pattern, The reach symbol (in the present production example, the symbol of "7") is stopped and displayed as a symbol. In the present embodiment, since reach is not determined to be out of reach at the time of a short time, for a player who knows that effect, at the time of reach, it becomes a big hit related to the second special symbol. Can be recognized, and it is possible to enjoy a specific reach effect in peace.

  As shown in FIG. 174 (B), after the reach symbol is displayed as a stop on the left and right decorative symbols, execution of a specific reach effect is started in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the variation pattern, and the sword is held. An effect is performed such that the main character is chased around the enemy character. In addition, during execution of a specific reach effect, the left and right decorative symbols (reach symbols) that are already stopped and displayed, and the middle decorative symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed, are small at the upper left of the screen of the main liquid crystal display device 1900, The display is controlled so as not to be noticeable. For this reason, the player pays attention to the effect contents of the specific reach effect, not the variable display of the decorative symbol on the main liquid crystal display device 1900.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 174 (C), at the end of a specific reach effect, the enemy character with a sword is about to be defeated by the main character, and "Can you avoid the tragedy?" The player is notified of the message. It should be noted that at the end of a specific reach effect, the symbol drawn as "Fate branch symbol" is stopped fluctuating as the inside decoration symbol after formation of the reach symbol, but it is small and unnoticeable at the upper left of the screen of the main liquid crystal display Display control to. As described above, in the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the left and right decorative symbols are made the same symbol (reach symbol) as the stop symbol of the decorative symbol, and the middle decorative symbol is the symbol drawn as "fate branch symbol". Although it is notified that it is a big hit related to the second special symbol by displaying the combination, it is clearly notified by displaying it small on the screen so as to make it difficult for the player to discriminate. It is difficult for the player to determine that the jackpot is not a jackpot associated with the second special symbol. Also, at the end of a specific reach effect, the stop symbol of the decoration symbol is displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 while the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the second special symbol is displayed on the second special symbol display 1186 as a stop symbol. It is not possible to determine which of the jackpots among the jackpots related to the second special symbol by displaying and controlling the common stop symbol.

  Next, when a specific 7 16R probability variation big hit among the big hits related to the second special symbol is specified, the fate branch is made at the main liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the stop display command as shown in FIG. 175 (D). Execution of the effect is started, and the player is notified of a message of "Fate open!", And an instruction of "right strike" is given to the upper right portion of the main liquid crystal display device 1900. As described above, during the execution of the fate branch rendition, it is required to avoid the occurrence of the tragedy from the scene in the specific reach rendition, and by so-called right strike, the upper right of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed. By passing the gaming ball through the provided branch sensor 2620, an effect is performed as if the fate of whether to avoid the tragedy is selected. The main liquid crystal display device 1900 controls the display of a dynamic effect image (moving image) except during the execution of the fate branch effect, while the execution of the fate branch effect is performed by the main liquid crystal display device 1900. Display control of a still effect image (still image) including a message of "Fate open!" Is displayed. As described above, while the fate branch effect is being executed, the stationary effect image does not switch unless the player follows the instruction "right-handed" displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, and the game or the effect is not performed. The control of is not advanced, and by performing so-called right strike, the branch sensor 2620 is urged to pass the gaming ball.

  In addition, when execution of the fate branch effect is started, control is performed so that light emission decoration is sequentially performed counterclockwise toward the branch sensor 2620 in the area around the main liquid crystal display device 1900 in the game area 1100. Specifically, a decoration substrate such as front right upper decoration substrate 2611, front side decoration substrate 2305, center left decoration substrate 2632, center upper left decoration substrate 2513 on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted is controlled, for example, front right upper decoration substrate 2611, the front side decoration substrate 2305, the center left decoration substrate 2632, and the plurality of LEDs mounted on the center upper left decoration substrate 2513 are sequentially light-emitted toward the branch sensor 2620 by controlling the light emission sequentially There is. As described above, by repeating the mode in which light flows into the branch sensor 2620 several times, the branch sensor 2620 is urged to pass the gaming ball by performing so-called right strike.

  In addition, during the execution of the fate branch rendition, after repeating a mode such as light flows toward the branch sensor 2620 several times, a heart-shaped decoration provided on the center base 2510 and capable of emitting and decorating The member 2515 (see FIG. 146) is controlled to emit light and decorate. The heart-shaped decorative member 2515 is disposed at the lower left of the branch sensor 2620, and turns on the heart-shaped decorative member 2515 by controlling the light emission of the LED mounted on the front upper right decorative substrate 2611 arranged on the back side thereof. be able to. At this time, in the area around the main liquid crystal display device 1900 in the game area 1100, a plurality of LEDs are controlled to be turned off to make it dark, and only the LEDs on the back side of the heart-shaped decorative member 2515 be controlled to be bright. By doing so, only the heart-shaped decorative member 2515 in the vicinity of the branch sensor 2620 can be highlighted, and by performing so-called right strike, the branch sensor 2620 is urged to pass the gaming ball. Also, according to the lighting of the heart-shaped decorative member 2515, each speaker 130, 222, 262 provided on the door frame 5 or the main body frame 3 is provided with a voice resembling a heart sound such as "dock, dock". The signal is output from the speaker 821 or the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 175 (D), with the effect image being displayed still on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the above-described voice output is increased as time passes, and it is gradually made for the player. By continuing to output unpleasant voices, it is assumed that it is necessary to cause the branch sensor 2620 to pass the gaming ball by performing so-called right strike.

  As shown in FIG. 175 (E), after the game ball passes and is detected by the branch sensor 2620, execution of notification notification effect according to the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit is started as the effect result of the fate branch effect An indication is made that the main character has escaped from the enemy character with the sword. Then, as shown in FIG. 175 (F), the player is notified of the message of “a tragedy avoidance”, and an effect as if the selection of a fate to avoid the tragedy has succeeded is executed. Thus, of the result notification effect according to the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit, the result notification effect according to the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit other than the result notification effect according to the identification 7 16R probability variation big hit By being executed, it is clearly determined that it is a big hit associated with the second special symbol that was not clearly determined at the end of a specific reach effect (when the second special symbol's fluctuation time has elapsed). , Among the jackpots associated with the second special symbol, it can be determined that it is a specified 7 16R probability variation jackpot. In addition, after a game ball passes and is detected by branch sensor 2620, the game ball which controlled the 16R big hit game state of long time opening which used the 2nd big winning a prize mouth 2509, passed that branch sensor 2620, It is controlled to win the second big winning opening 2509 as it is.

  As shown in FIG. 175 (G), after finishing the notification effect of the result according to the specific 7R 16R probability variation big hit, the big hit round start command and the big hit until the control of the long open 16R probability variation big hit gaming state is finished. Based on the command for ending the round, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 starts executing the big hit game rendition according to the 16R probability variation big hit and the current round number, and the current number of rounds in the 16R big hit gaming state and the second big prize in the round The number of winning prizes in the mouth 2509 is displayed.

  On the other hand, among the big hits related to the second special symbol Big hits other than the specified 7 16R probability variation big hits (non-specified 2 4R normal big hit B, non-specific 3 4R normal big hit C, non-specific 4 4 R normal big hit D, specified In the case where the 4R sudden big hit 6 in 6 is specified, as in the case where the 16R positive variation big hit in specified 7 is specified, as shown in FIG. 176 (D), in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the stop display command. Execution of the fate branching effect is started, and the player is notified of a message of "Fate open!" And an instruction of "right strike" is given to the upper right portion of the main liquid crystal display device 1900.

  As shown in FIG. 176 (E ′), after the game ball passes and is detected by the branch sensor 2620, the result notification according to the big hit other than the 16R probability variation big hit of the specific 7 as the directed result of the fate branch effect Execution is started, and a scene is displayed that the main character has been defeated by the enemy character having the sword. Then, as shown in FIG. 176 (F ′), the player is notified of the message “disaster avoidance failure”, and effects are performed as if the selection of the fate to avoid the disaster has failed. As described above, of the results according to the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit, the results according to the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit other than the result notification effect according to the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit Even when the notification effect is performed, since the common result notification effect is performed as the effect result of the fate branch effect, it is not possible to determine which big hit other than the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit. In addition, after the game ball passes and is detected by branch sensor 2620, it controls to 4R big hit game state of the short time opening which uses 1st large winning a prize mouth 2102, but the game which passes that branch sensor 2620 The ball is controlled so as not to win the first big winning opening 2102 as it is. In addition, all round numbers in the 4R big hit gaming state of the short time opening which uses the 1st big winning a prize mouth 2102 end until the result notification production which responds to the big hit other than the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit is finished In addition, it is made not to execute the big hit game rendition like the time of the specific 7 16R probability variation big hit. In this way, during the period when the player is paying attention to the notice notification effect according to the big hit other than the specific 7's 16R probability variation big hit, all rounds in the 4R big hit gaming state are ended, making it difficult for the player to notice Therefore, it is determined as if it were a big hit but not as a big hit without being clearly determined to be a big hit related to the second special symbol.

[8. Fortune Selection Chance Production]
In the present embodiment, in the variation display of the decoration symbol executed by the main liquid crystal display device 1900 triggered by the game ball winning to the first starting opening 2101, the decoration symbol being variably displayed according to the operation of the player It is possible to execute a fate selection chance presentation to stop display.

  As shown in FIG. 177, the main control MPU 4100a is a non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, a specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, a specific 2 4 R stupid big hit A, and a specific one of the big hit related to the first special symbol When it becomes 12 R probability variation big hit B of 5, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol (rendering time displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900) and the contents of effects displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 (for example, reach effect Among the multiple types of variation patterns in which the type of) is set, non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, specific 1 4R latent probability big hit, specific 2 4R stupid big hit A, and specific 5 12 R probability variation big hit B If you decide on a specific variation pattern that can only be determined when you do, the first special symbol display 1185 starts the variation display of the first special symbol, and it is set to the particular variation pattern When the fluctuation time has passed, the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol (if it is 4R normal big hit A for non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A symbol, if it is specific 1 4R latent probability big hit 4R latent confirmation big hit design, if the specific 2 4R sudden definite big hit A, the 4R positive definite big hit A symbology, if the specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B if it is a 12R positive variation big hit B symbol) stop display.

  On the other hand, upon receiving the fluctuation pattern command instructing execution of a specific fluctuation pattern, the peripheral control MPU 4140a starts fluctuation display of the decorative symbol on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, and the fluctuation time set to the specific fluctuation pattern The jackpot symbol determined to be the first special symbol display 1185 (ie, non-specific 1 4R normal jackpot 4R normal jackpot A symbol, specific 1 4R latent jackpot hit 4R latent Certain large hit design, if the specific 2 4R stupid big hit A 4R stupid big hit A design, if the specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B 12R positive variation big hit B design) stop display the left and right decorative design with the same pattern It controls to the reach state which continued the fluctuation indication of inside decoration design while displaying. In addition, even if the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a stop display command indicating that the fluctuation time specified from the fluctuation pattern command has elapsed from the main control MPU 4400a during this reach state (displaying the first special symbol in a stopped state) The variation display of the middle decoration pattern is continued, and the stop pattern of the decoration pattern is not displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. That is, when the variation time of the first special symbol has passed, the first special symbol display 1185 relates to the first special symbol by stopping and displaying the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol. The main liquid crystal display device 1900 clearly indicates which big hit among the big wins, as well as which big hit among the big wins related to the first special symbol. Even not clearly notified. However, the first special symbol display 1185 is one of a plurality of LEDs provided in the display unit 1181 of the function display unit 1180, and is configured by eight LEDs. Also, in addition to not notifying the player that eight LEDs function as the first special symbol display 1185, eight LEDs can be turned on according to the determination result, and a plurality of lighting patterns can be displayed. Therefore, even if the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 1185, it is difficult for the player to grasp that the big hit symbol is stopped on the first special symbol display 1185, and from the lighting mode of the LED It is difficult to determine whether or not it is a big hit design. Therefore, it is possible to think that the variable display is continued until the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, and it becomes difficult to realize that it has become a big hit.

  In addition, after the main control MPU 4100a ends the above-mentioned variation display control of the first special symbol, that is, after displaying the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 1185 , And controls the detection of the gaming ball by the branch sensor 2620 to a branch sensor enabled state. Specifically, the main control MPU 4100a monitors the detection of the game ball by the branch sensor 2620 after displaying the jackpot symbol determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol. Then, when it is detected that the gaming ball has passed the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right hitting in the branch sensor effective state, detection of the gaming ball by the branch sensor 2620 after ending this branch sensor effective state is invalidated. The big hit start command (4R normal big hit A start command, 4R latent positive big hit start command, 4R random hit big hit A start command, 12R positive oddity big hit B start command) according to the type of big hit is transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010.

  Then, when the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives a stop display command from the main control MPU 4100a while the decorative symbol is in the reach state, the peripheral control MPU 4140a selects whether or not the main liquid crystal display device 1900 can obtain a good display result. As described above, the game player is driven into the right route 1100R, and the branch sensor 2620 is instructed to stop and display the decorative symbol (inside decorative symbol) that is variably displayed by passing the gaming ball, and executes a fate selection chance effect Do. That is, in the fate selection chance effect, the player is notified that it is possible to stop and display the decorative symbol by causing the branch sensor 2620 to pass the game ball by so-called right hitting.

  When it is detected that the gaming ball has passed the branch sensor 2620 while the branch sensor is in the valid state, the main control MPU 4100a starts controlling the big hit gaming state. Specifically, main control MPU 4100a opens and closes first big winning opening 2102 if non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A or specific 1 4R latent probability big hit when branch sensor 2620 detects the game ball An open / close pattern to be closed when the first count sensor 2111 detects that the member 2104 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or that the first large winning opening 2102 has nine winning balls Execute the control that repeats 4 times (4 rounds) and close the second opening / closing member 2572 that closes the second large winning opening 2509 for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) if it is a specific 2R The control to repeat the opening and closing pattern to be performed four times is executed, and if it is the 12R probability variation big hit B of the specific 5, the second opening and closing member 2572 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or The game ball has won nine mouth 2102 executes 12 times (12 rounds) repeating controlling the opening and closing pattern to be closed when it is detected by the first counting sensor 2111. In addition, when controlling the first big winning a prize opening 2102 and the 2nd big winning a prize opening 2509 as a big hit game state, sending the big hit round start command which responds to the kind and current round number of big hit to peripheral control baseplate 4010 sequentially When controlling the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning opening 2509 in a closed state, a big hit round end command according to the type of big hit and the current number of rounds is sequentially transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010.

  On the other hand, the peripheral control MPU 4140a selects the fate in the case where the non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, the specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, and the specific 5 12 R positive variation big hit B among the big hits related to the first special symbol. A big hit start command (4R normal big hit A start command, 4R latent confirmation during execution of a chance effect (in a state where the left and right decorative symbols are stopped and displayed with the same symbol and without displaying the middle decoration symbol stopped yet). When the big hit start command, 12R probability variation big hit B start command is received, the main decoration pattern is stopped and displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. The big hit design (not specified 1 4R normal big hit A if 4R Usually a big hit A design, the specific 1 4R latent probability big hit 4R latent probability big hit design, the specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B 12R positive variation big hit Deriving Show symbols), notifying that the good effect results were obtained by selection fate based on passage of the game ball to the branch sensor 2620.

  Thus, a non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, a specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, and a specific 5 12 R positive variation big hit B according to each big hit pattern (non-specific 1 4 R normal big hit A if 4 R normal big hit A symbol, if it is a specific 1 4R latent probability big hit 4R latent probability big hit symbol, if a specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B 12R positive variation big hit B design) is derived and displayed on the main liquid crystal display 1900, the first In addition to clearly notifying that it is a jackpot associated with the first special symbol that was not clearly displayed when the variation time of the special symbol has elapsed, and the non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, the specific 1 4R latent It clearly notifies that it has become either a definite big hit, or a specific 5 12R positive variation big hit B.

  In addition, peripheral control MPU 4140a, during the execution of the fate selection chance presentation (when it displays stop symbols on the left and right with the same symbol), when it becomes the specific 2 4R sudden probability big hit A among the big hits related to the first special symbol When the big hit start command (4R sudden confirmation big hit A start command) is received in the state where it is still fluctuating display without stopping and displaying the inside decoration pattern, the inside decoration pattern is stopped and displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. Derivatively displays the 4R prominence big hit A symbol of the decorative symbol. As described above, it is difficult for the player to recognize that a big hit has occurred because the 4R stupid big hit A symbol is a symbol combination different from the left and right decorative symbols and the symbol combination similar to the missing symbol displayed in the middle decorative symbol being stopped and displayed. . The peripheral control MPU 4140a notifies that the good rendering result has not been obtained by the selection of the fate based on the passage of the gaming ball to the branch sensor 2620 after the 4R sudden confirmation big hit A symbol is stopped and displayed. However, in this case as well, the transition control to the high probability time reduction state is performed, and the player is notified of that effect, so that it is possible to suppress the decrease in the amusement of the game.

  As described above, even if the main liquid crystal display device 1900 displays the big hit symbol (4R sudden hit big symbol A symbol) corresponding to the specific 2 4R sudden big hit A on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the same as when the variation time of the first special symbol passes It does not notify clearly that it is a big hit related to one special symbol, but as if it was out of order. In addition, when stopping and displaying the big hit design according to the special 2 4R stupid big hit A, the big hit round start command and the big hit round end command are sequentially received, but the type and current round of the big hit on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 The effect according to the number is not executed, and the notification is not given so that the current number of rounds in the 4R big hit gaming state can be determined.

  Further, in this example, during the execution of the fate selection chance effect, the middle decoration pattern is changed and displayed at high speed, and when the decoration symbol is stopped and displayed based on the passage of the game ball to the branch sensor 2620, the middle decoration pattern fluctuation display Is gradually decelerated and stopped and displayed with a desired symbol. Even if the game ball is allowed to pass to the branch sensor 2620, the inside decoration symbol is not immediately stopped and displayed. And, when it becomes specific 2 4R sudden probability big hit A, until 4R sudden probability big hit design is stopped indicated based on passage of the game ball to fork sensor 2620 or 4R sudden definite big hit symbol is stopped indicated and good rendering result All rounds in the 4R big hit gaming state of opening for a short time have been completed by the end of the notification of not having obtained (until the notification of controlling to high probability time short state is finished), the big hit I try not to execute the game effect. Therefore, it is difficult for the player to realize that the jackpot game is being executed, and it can be thought that the transition control to the high probability time-short state is suddenly controlled regardless of the occurrence of the jackpot. In addition, you may make it stop display of the inside decoration pattern at the same time detection of passage of the game ball to fork sensor 2620, when it becomes 4R sudden probability big hit A in this case until it ends the production which notifies the production result ( All rounds in the 4R big hit gaming state which is open for a short time may be ended and the big hit gaming effect may not be executed until the notification of controlling to the high probability time short state is finished).

  In this embodiment, the first special symbol display 1185 is used as the variable display state when the game ball wins the first starting opening 2101 and becomes a big hit related to the first special symbol. After stop-displaying the big hit symbol decided as the stop symbol, it controls to the branch sensor effective state and continues the fluctuation display of the decoration symbol in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and instructs the branch sensor 2620 to pass the game ball Do. Then, when it is detected that the gaming ball has passed the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right strike, control is made to a big hit gaming state according to the type of big hit. That is, even if the big win symbol determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 1185, as long as the game ball is not allowed to pass through the branch sensor 2620 by hitting the right, the decorative symbol The variable display continues and control is not made to the jackpot gaming state according to the type of jackpot. As described above, when the fortune selection chance effect is controlled by controlling the branch sensor in the effective state, the player must follow the instructions on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. However, when the game ball is allowed to pass through the branch sensor 2620 The decorative symbol is stopped and displayed to control the jackpot gaming state according to the type of jackpot, and the player's willingness to participate in the fate selection chance presentation is not diminished.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the game ball is hit to the right of the center character 2500 (is hit with a predetermined strength or more), the probability that the game ball that has flowed down to the right route 1100R has a high probability (right hit) Most game balls pass through the branch sensor 2620, and some game balls do not pass through the branch sensor 2620, and they may always pass through the branch sensor 2620 when right-handed. The sensor 2620 is to be passed. That is, during the execution of the fate selection chance effect (during the control of the branch sensor effective state), it is possible to cause the branch sensor 2620 to pass the gaming ball with high probability only by performing a so-called right strike. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to lose a loss that the game ball aiming at the branch sensor 2620 becomes a waste ball during execution of the fate selection chance effect (during control of the branch sensor effective state).

  In addition, when the main control MPU 4100a detects that the gaming ball has passed the branch sensor 2620 during execution of the fate selection chance effect, after setting the big hit start command indicating starting the big hit gaming state, the first big winning game Although the waiting time until setting the big hit round start command indicating that the opening 2102 and the second big winning opening 2509 are actually controlled to the open state is set in the interval timer, this interval timer has a very short time ( For example, 0.5 seconds is set. That is, when it is detected that the gaming ball has passed the branch sensor 2620 during execution of the fate selection chance effect, the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning opening 2509 are controlled to be open in an extremely short time. become. In addition, the time set in the interval timer is shorter than the time it takes for the game ball which has passed the branch sensor 2620 to reach the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning opening 2509 by performing so-called right strike Is set as. Therefore, when the gaming ball having passed the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right hitting reaches the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning opening 2509, the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning combination have already been made. Opening / closing control of the opening 2509 is started, and if the opening / closing member 2104 closing the first large winning opening 2102 and the second opening / closing member 2572 closing the second large winning opening 2509 are opened for a long time, the branch sensor 2620 The game ball which has passed is made to win the first large winning opening 2102 and the second large winning opening 2509 as it is. Therefore, the game ball passing the branch sensor 2620 does not become a wasted ball during execution of the fate selection chance effect (during control of the branch sensor effective state), and it is possible to make the player's loss less likely to occur.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not to make a big hit at the start of the variation of the first special symbol, and the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed even when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 1185. Does not control the display of the stop symbol of the decorative symbol, and does not clearly notify even the big hit. Then, only when the game ball passes the branch sensor 2620 in the branch sensor valid state, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 displays stop the decorative symbol and notifies whether it is a big hit or not. For this reason, it is determined before the game ball passes the branch sensor 2620 (before the execution of the fate selection chance presentation) as to whether or not to make a big hit related to the first special symbol, but the branch By making it possible to determine the passage of the game ball to the sensor 2620 as a trigger, it can be made as if the player himself had won the big hit by causing the branch sensor 2620 to pass the game ball. Therefore, when the fate selection chance effect is executed when it becomes non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, and specific 5 12 R probability variation big hit B, the timing when the game ball passes branch sensor 2620 For example, the player actively participates in the fate selection chance presentation.

  Also, in the present embodiment, in the case of becoming a specific 5 12R probability variation big hit B among the big hit related to the first special symbol, 12R big hit gaming state open for a long time triggered by the passage of the gaming ball to the branch sensor 2620 At the same time as the control of the, according to the big hit start command as a result of directing the fate choice chance presentation stop notification of the 12R probability variation big hit B symbol is notified and it is notified that it is a big hit. However, if the control of the big hit gaming state does not progress for a while even if the stop display of the 12 R probability variation big hit B symbol is displayed and the big hit is notified, the specified 5 12 R probability variation big hit B or non-specific 1 4 R usually The player can not determine whether the jackpot is the jackpot A or the specific 1 4R latent probability jackpot. That is, the 12R big hit opened for a long time before allowing the player to determine whether the specified 5 12R probability variation big hit B or the non-specified 1 4R normal big hit A or the specified 1 4R latent hit big hit Control of the gaming state is to be started. As a result, even if the game ball passes the branch sensor 2620 by performing so-called right hitting during execution of the fate selection chance effect, right hitting continues while paying attention to the contents of the presentation on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. As long as the special 5's 12R probability variation big hit B, the game ball does not become a wasted ball, and keeps playing the game ball in the second large winning opening 2101 with a very high probability, making it difficult for the player to generate losses In addition, it is possible to quickly digest the jackpot gaming state.

  Also, in the present embodiment, in the case where it becomes a specific 2 4R certainty big hit A among the big hits related to the first special symbol, 4R big hit gaming state of a short time opening triggered by the passing of the gaming ball to the branch sensor 2620 At the same time as the control of, according to the big hit start command, it is notified that it is controlled to be displayed with high probability and short as well as the stop display of the 4R sudden certain big hit A symbol as a presentation result of the fate selection chance presentation. At this time, control of all the round numbers in the 4R big hit gaming state of opening for a short time is ended before ending the effect of notifying the control to the high probability time and short state. As described above, the 4R big hit of an open for a short time while notifying the main liquid crystal display device 1900 to stop and display the 4R sudden big hit A symbol as a presentation result of the fate selection chance presentation and controlling to the high probability time reduction state. By controlling to the gaming state, as long as the player pays attention to the notification effect as a result, it is difficult to notice that it is controlled to the 4R big hit gaming state opened for a short time, and it is a big hit gaming state that hardly gains This can eliminate the player's sense of loss. In addition, since it is controlled to the high probability time-short state even when it is recognized that it does not become a big hit by the stop display of the 4R surging big hit A symbol similar to the out pattern, the player is not discouraged excessively.

  In addition, control to repeat the opening and closing pattern to be closed after opening the second opening and closing member 2572 closing the second large winning opening 2509 for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) as a big hit related to the first special symbol four times Control to low probability time short state after the big hit game state end (It may shift to the low probability non-short state when the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (for example 30 times)) A 4R pseudo sudden big hit may be provided, and if it is determined that the main control MPU 4100a will be a 4R pseudo sudden big hit, the fate selection chance presentation may be performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a. In this case, by not notifying the control to the high probability time-short state when it becomes the 4R sudden probability big hit A, it becomes difficult to determine whether it was the 4R sudden probability big hit A or the 4R pseudo critical probability big hit, It becomes difficult to determine whether the gaming state after the end of the jackpot gaming state is high probability time short state or low probability time short state, and it is possible to make it difficult to stop the game.

  Next, a specific example of the fate selection opportunity presentation will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, among the jackpots related to the first special symbol, the fate selection chance presentation is performed based on the non-specific 1 4R normal jackpot A, the specific 1 4R latent probability big hit, and the specific 5 12 R probability variation big hit B In the case where the fate selection chance presentation is executed based on the case 2 and the specific 2 4R sudden certain hit A, the different presentation result is notified.

  As shown in FIG. 178, the peripheral control MPU 4140a is a non-specific one 4R normal large hit A, a specific 1 4 R latent probability big hit, a specific 2 4 R extra probability big hit A, and a specific 5 among the big hits related to the first special symbol. When the variation pattern command instructing execution of a specific variation pattern is received in the 12R probability variation big hit B of, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 starts the variation display of the decorative symbol (FIG. 178 (A)), and The player displays the reach symbol (in this example, "5" in this example) in which the decorative symbol is stopped by the same symbol and displays "reach" on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the reach of the decorative symbol is reached. Is notified (FIG. 178 (B)).

  Next, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays “Fate selection chance! Hit right!” On the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and executes the fate selection chance effect, and drives the game ball into the right route 1100R side. Is notified (FIG. 178 (C)). When the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs the display of FIG. 178 (C), the first special symbol display 1185 has already stopped and displayed the big hit symbol determined as the stop symbol of the first special symbol. However, as described above, the first special symbol display 1185 is one of a plurality of LEDs, and not only does not notify the player that it functions as the first special symbol display 1185, but the jackpot symbol is stopped. It is difficult for the player to clearly determine that the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped or the jackpot has occurred because it is difficult to determine whether the player is playing or not.

  When it is detected that the gaming ball has passed through the branch sensor 2620, the peripheral control MPU 4140a stops and displays the inside decoration pattern so as to display a big hit symbol according to the type of the big hit. At this time, among the big hits related to the first special symbol, if the non-specific 1 4R normal big hit A, the specific 1 4R latent probability big hit, and the specific 5 12 R positive variation big hit B, the decoration of the inside decoration pattern on the left and right A big hit design in which the left middle, right and left decorative symbols are all aligned with the same symbol by stopping display with the same symbol as the symbol (4R normal big hit A non-specific 1R regular big hit A symbol, specific 1 4R latent probability big hit If it is 4R latent confirmation big hit symbol, 12R positive variation big hit B of specific 5 If 12R positive variation big hit B symbol is displayed (Fig. 178 (D)), it notifies that it is a big hit (Fig. 178 (E)) ).

  On the other hand, among the big hit related to the first special symbol, if it is the specific 2R 4 certainty big hit A, the middle decoration pattern is stopped and displayed with a different pattern from the left and right decoration symbols, and the left middle right decoration symbol is the same pattern The same 4R sudden definite big hit A symbol as the unmatched out pattern is displayed (Fig. 178 (D ')), and it is notified that it is not a big hit and is controlled to high probability time short state (Fig. 178 (E') ). In this case, although it is actually a big hit, as described above, execution of all the rounds is completed in a period until the notification of the rendering result in FIG. 178 (D ′) to FIG. 178 (E ′) is ended. It is difficult for the player to realize that the player has made a big hit.

  In this way, in the fate selection chance effect, by the player himself hitting the game ball into the right route 1100R side and making the branch sensor 2620 pass the game ball, the inside decoration pattern is the same as the left and right decoration patterns. An effect is performed as if the fate of stopping display or stopping display with symbols different from the left and right decorative symbols is selected.

  In addition, as described above, in the fate selection chance effect, the display of the inside decoration pattern is changed at high speed until it is detected that the game ball has passed the branch sensor 2620, and it is detected that the game ball has passed the branch sensor 2620 On the basis of, the display of the variation display of the inside decoration pattern is gradually slowed down and finally stopped. As described above, during the execution of the fate selection chance effect, the decoration pattern in the middle is not displayed as a stop unless the player follows the instruction of "right-handed!" Displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. The game is not going to progress, and he urges you to hit the right.

  In addition, because it is notified as if it is out of place when it becomes specific 2 4R stupid big hit A among big hits related to the first special symbol, it is clear that it is a big hit related to the first special symbol It can not be determined. In addition, it is controlled to the 4R big hit game state of the open for a short time when it detects that the game ball passes the divergence sensor 2620 when becoming the specific 2 4R stupid big hit A, but the start of the 4R big hit game state of this short time open The game ball that is the cause of the game ball, that is, the game ball detected that the player has hit the right route 1100R side and has passed the branch sensor 2620 in order to stop the decoration symbol in the fate selection chance effect, It controls so that it does not win in the 2 large winning a prize mouth 2509.

  In the above-described example, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 capable of displaying an image such as a character is configured to execute the fate selection chance effect, but as a display device using variable display of decorative symbols, drums, reels, 7 segment LEDs, etc. Even if it is composed of, it is possible to realize the fate selection chance presentation.

Second Embodiment of the Present Invention
Next, characteristic configurations, operations, and the like in the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In addition, since the pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention has substantially the same configuration as the pachinko machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, the description of the same configuration will be omitted. . Moreover, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and demonstrated to the component similar to the pachinko machine 1 which concerns on embodiment mentioned above.

[1. Technical concept of the second embodiment of the present invention]
The pachinko machine 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention can be expressed as the following technical idea.
Lottery means for performing a lottery at a predetermined opportunity;
Profit giving control means for controlling the gaming state to the profit giving state when the lottery result by the lottery means is a special result;
Symbol display means capable of variably displaying a symbol notifying the lottery result;
Image display means disposed on the front of the symbol display means and capable of displaying a predetermined image;
Movable control means capable of moving the image display means;
Expected position stop control means capable of suggesting a degree of expectation that the lottery result is the special result at a position where the image display means has moved by the movable control means based on the lottery result;
A game machine characterized by comprising:

  The gaming machine (for example, the pachinko machine 1) performs lottery with a predetermined opportunity by the lottery means (for example, the main control board 4100), and the profit giving control means (for example, the main control board 4100) produces the lottery result by the lottery means If the special result (for example, the big hit mentioned above), the gaming state is controlled to the profit giving state (for example, big hit gaming state), the symbol display means (for example, peripheral control board 4010, liquid crystal control unit 4150) The symbols for notifying the result are displayed in a variable manner.

  Further, an image display means (for example, a movable character part unit 5100 described later) is disposed on the front of the symbol display means to display a predetermined image, and a movable control means (for example, the peripheral control board 4010, , Move the image display means.

  The expected position stop control means (for example, the peripheral control board 4010, the liquid crystal control unit 4150) determines the degree of expectation that the lottery result is a special result at the position where the image display means is moved by the movable control means based on the lottery result. Suggest.

  In the conventional gaming machine, although the effect that indicates the expectation that the result of the lottery is the big hit is executed, even if the effect that indicates the expectation that the result is the big hit is performed, it is to be the big hit There are not a few players who are not able to grasp how much their expectation is.

  Therefore, the present invention suggests the degree of expectation that the lottery result is a special result (for example, a big hit) at the position where the image display means (for example, movable combination unit 5100) is moved by the movable control means based on the lottery result. In this way (for example, by suggesting the degree of expectation at the position where the movable service unit 5100 is raised), it is possible to grasp at a glance how much the expectation to the big hit is.

  In the following second embodiment, the movable character unit 5100 executes a rising effect of moving from the lower side of the game board 4 upward (in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 179 (a) described later). A case will be described where the expectation of the result of the lottery process described above being a big hit is notified by the stop position (standby position) at which the unit 5100 has stopped rising.

[2. Back unit configuration]
The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different from the pachinko gaming machine 1 described above in terms of the structure in terms of the back-to-back effect unit 3100 (back-to-back unit 300 in the gaming board 4). 110) has a movable service unit 5100 (see FIGS. 180 to 183). Hereinafter, the structure and operation of the movable part unit 5100 different from the pachinko machine 1 described above with reference to FIGS. 179 to 180, or the effects performed by the movable part unit 5100 are mainly described. A pachinko machine 1 according to a second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 179 (a) is a partial perspective view of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 of the movable service unit 5100. FIG. FIG. 179 (b) is a perspective view showing a rotation state of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101. FIG.

  180 to 183 are front views showing the game board 4 of the gaming machine 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention in a simplified manner. As shown in FIGS. 179 to 183, the front side 5100a of the movable character unit 5100 has a sub liquid crystal display device 5101 capable of displaying an effect image substantially at the center, and panel portions 5102a positioned on both sides of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 And 5102 b.

  The movable character unit 5100 has a substantially plate shape in a front view, and as shown in FIGS. 180 and 181, is a front surface (player's side) of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 displaying the decorative symbol 5200 and the like. It is possible to move above and below the game board 4 while blocking a part of the main liquid crystal display device 1900. That is, the movable role unit 5100 is attached to a moving mechanism (not shown), and by operating the moving mechanism, the movable role unit 5100 moves from the bottom to the top of the game board 4 (arrow in FIG. 180 (a)). It is possible to move in the direction A) or downward from above (for example, in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 180A).

  Also, the movable role unit 5100 moves from the lower side to the upper side of the game board 4 at a stretch from the upper side to the lower side (for example, the movement until one variation of the decorative symbol ends) or gradually moves (a plurality of times It is attached to the movement mechanism so as to be able to move (over movement of the decoration pattern).

  Furthermore, the movable role unit 5100 is allowed to stand by below or above the game board 4, and while stopping upward above the game board 4, it stops on the way down below the game board 4 It is also possible to (wait) be attached to the moving mechanism.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 181, the back side 5100 b of the movable character article unit 5100 has a castable article portion 5103 on which a bowl-shaped decoration is provided. That is, the movable character unit 5100 is centered on one point (not shown) of the movable character unit 5100 so that the player can visually recognize the front side 5100 a and the back side 5100 b by the above moving mechanism. a) It is possible to rotate the front and back by circular movement in the arrow C direction or the arrow D direction in FIG. 183 (a).

  Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 179 (a) and 179 (b), only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is attached to the moving mechanism so as to be able to rotate 180 degrees. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 179 (b), on both side ends of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, shaft portions 6101a and 6101b extended outward from both side ends of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 are provided.

  In addition, it is configured to be able to turn on the prison character part 5103 in a predetermined color, and the color that the prison character part 5103 is lit can indicate the degree of expectation for a big hit. For example, it is possible to suggest that the expectation for the big hit is large in the order of white lighting <blue lighting <green lighting <red lighting <rainbow lighting (not shown).

  The effect image can be displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, and the effect image different from the effect image displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900, and substantially the same as the effect image displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 It is possible to display an effect image and an effect image related to the effect image displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. That is, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can have substantially the same or different displays.

[3. Mode of production of movable role unit 5100]
Next, with reference to FIG. 180 to FIG. 183, an example of the effect mode of the movable service unit 5100 will be described.

[3-1. Up-and-down presentation mode of movable role unit 5100]
First, with reference to FIG. 180 to FIG. 181, an aspect of lifting and lowering effects in which the movable role unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention moves up and down will be described. FIG. 180 (a) is a diagram showing a state in which the movable role unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention stands by below the game board 4. FIG. FIG. 180 (b) and FIG. 180 (c) are views showing an aspect of the rise effect that the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention performs an ascending operation.

  Further, FIG. 181 (a) is a view showing a state in which the movable role unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention rotates from the state where it is waiting above the game board 4 to the front and back. FIG. 181 (b) is a view showing the state of the back surface position of the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 181 (c) is a diagram showing an aspect of the downward effect in which the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention performs a downward operation.

  As shown in FIGS. 180 (a) to 180 (c), the movable role unit 5100 moves from the bottom of the game board 4 to the upper side (direction of arrow A in FIG. 180 (a)) based on the result of the lottery process described above. Execute a rising effect to move. Here, the result of the above-mentioned lottery processing is a big hit depending on the stop position at which the movable combination unit 5100 which has risen by the rise effect has stopped rising while three decorative symbols are variably displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. An example of informing the degree of expectation to things is shown.

  In FIG. 180 (a), when the movable character unit 5100 stands by at the standby position below the gaming board 4, it is informed that the expectation for the result of the lottery processing being a big hit is 0%. (The result of the lottery process indicates a state in which the degree of expectation for being a big hit is not notified).

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 180 (b) and 180 (c), the movable role unit 5100 moves from the lower side of the game board 4 to the upper side (direction of arrow A in FIG. 180 (a)) based on the result of the lottery process. Execute a rising effect to move. Here, an example in which the movable role unit 5100 vertically moves from the lower side to the upper side of the game board 4 is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 180 (b), based on the result of the lottery process, the movable role unit 5100 waiting at the standby position below the game board 4 vertically moves upward and substantially centers the game board 4 By waiting (stopping) at the standby position, it is reported that the expectation for the result of the lottery processing being a big hit is 50%.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 180 (c), the movable role unit 5100 waiting at the standby position below the gaming board 4 vertically moves upward based on the result of the lottery process, By waiting (stopping) at the upper standby position, it is notified that the expectation for the result of the lottery processing being a big hit is 90%.

  That is, since the higher the movable role unit 5100 goes up above the gaming board 4, the higher the expectation for a big hit is, the player grasps the expectation for the result of the lottery process being a big hit at a glance. be able to.

  The rise to the position indicating the degree of expectation of the movable service unit 5100 as described above may be moved at once until one or two of the three decorative symbols that have started to change are stopped. You may move gradually until the change of the decoration pattern of the time is completed. However, in the following embodiment, a case will be described where one of the three decorative symbols that have started to move moves before stopping.

  In addition, while the movable role product unit 5100 is moving, or while waiting at a position at which an expectation for a big hit is notified, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can display an effect image regarding a game. However, for example, when the movable symbol unit 5100 is moved or stopped at the position shown in FIG. The image relevant to the decoration pattern 5200 is displayed on (illustration omitted).

  Specifically, when the decorative pattern 5200b displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is blocked by the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, a portion that is blocked is displayed, or a decorative symbol image obtained by reducing the decorative symbol 5200b is displayed. The sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be configured to display.

  Also, when the decorative pattern 5200 displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is blocked by the movable character unit 5100, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 displays a decorative pattern image in which the decorative pattern 5200b is reduced, and the sub liquid crystal display A decorative symbol image in which the decorative symbol 5200a is reduced in the lower left of the device 5101, and a decorative symbol image in which the decorative symbol 5200c is reduced in the lower right is displayed smaller than the decorative symbol image in which the decorative symbol 5200b is reduced. be able to.

  Furthermore, when the decorative symbol 5200 displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is interrupted by the movable character unit 5100, all of the decorative symbols 5200a, 5200b and 5200c are reduced by the same magnification to make the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 Can be configured to display

  In this manner, by displaying the blocked portion or the decorative pattern 5200 on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, the mobile character unit 5100 is a big hit while making the decorative pattern 5200 for displaying the result of the lottery process visually recognized. It is possible to notify the degree of expectation to the user.

  As shown in FIGS. 180 (a) to 180 (b), the wave of the meter displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is changed from a small wave to a large wave as the movable service unit 5100 is raised. By changing the display, it is possible to increase the expectation for the big hit by making the user move up and down whether the movable character unit 5100 is raised or not and whether the wave of the meter is increased.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 181 (a) to FIG. 181 (c), when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the character unit 5100 is from the top of the game board 4 to the bottom (FIG. The downward effect of moving in the direction of arrow B) is executed. Here, an example is shown in which the mobile combination unit 5100 which has risen to the upper side of the game board 4 by the effect of rising is rotated and lowered to notify that the result of the lottery process is a big hit.

  As shown in FIG. 181 (a) and FIG. 181 (b), it rotates in the direction of arrow C or in the direction of arrow D centering on one point of the side surface (not shown) of the movable service unit 5100. Here, an example in which two of the three decorative symbols 5200 stop at a combination of the same decorative symbols, and when one decorative symbol indicates a reach showing a fluctuating state, the movable character unit 5100 rotates 180 degrees Indicates

  As shown in FIG. 181 (a), when the decorative symbol 5200 is in a mode indicating reach, the movable character unit 5100 is in a predetermined direction from the surface position where the player can visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display 5101 and the panel portions 5102a and 5102b A circular motion is performed, and as shown in FIG. 181 (b), a rotation effect of rotating to a back surface position that causes the player to visually recognize the prison object 5103 is executed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 181 (c), the movable character unit 5100 is rotated from the upper side of the game board 4 to the lower side (arrow B in FIG. 180 (a)). When the downward effect moving to the direction) is executed, the decorative symbol 5200 shows a big hit. In detail, by performing downward descent at a speed faster than the upward effect, the descent is executed at once as if the brow has fallen at once, and when the bale passes through the decorative pattern 5200, the decoration corresponding to a big hit in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 By stopping and displaying the symbols, the player is informed that the result of the lottery process is a big hit.

  On the other hand, when the decorative symbol 5200 is not in a mode indicating reach, the gaming board with the surface position where the player can visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel units 5102a and 5102b without rotating the movable character unit 5100 A descent effect of moving from the upper side to the lower side (the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 180 (a)) is executed (not shown). At this time, it is informed that the result of the lottery process is not a big hit by executing the downward effect at substantially the same speed as the upward effect (a slower speed than the downward effect such as a drop).

  If the result of the lottery process is not a big hit despite the decorative symbol 5200 showing reach, the movable role unit 5100 rotated to the back surface position is rotated to the surface position to substantially increase the effect. By executing the descent effect at the same speed (the slower speed than the descent effect that the whistle has fallen), it is informed that the result of the lottery process is not a big hit. In detail, the movable character object unit 5100 rotated to the back surface position by the rotation effect as described above is further rotated 180 degrees to allow the player to visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel portions 5102 a and 5102 b. To rotate (it is also possible to rotate to the surface position by reverse rotation).

  In this way, when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, by performing the descent effect by performing the descent effect at a faster speed than the descent effect, the expectation for the big hit is high It can give an impact as a production.

  As described with reference to FIGS. 180 and 181, in order to report the degree of expectation for the result of the lottery process being a big hit by the stop position at which the movable combination product unit 5100 has stopped rising, the degree of expectation for the big hit is glanced at a glance Can be made to

  In addition, the shape of the center part 2500 has a shape different from that of the first embodiment described above (in the second embodiment of the present invention, it is shown as the shape of the moon), and as shown in FIGS. When the character unit 5100 is stopped above the game board 4 (while waiting at the highest standby position), the movable character 5200 can be positioned in front of the center character 2500 (player's side) It is configured.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 180 and 181, the movable role unit 5100 is configured to be elevated above the game board 4 to the vicinity of the inner rail 1112 (see FIG. 110). While waiting for a fixed period at the upper standby position, it is possible to display an effect image about a game on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 180 and 181, since the movable character unit 5100 can be positioned in front of the center character 2500 and can be stopped, it is executed in the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 at the highest standby position. To make it easy to visually recognize the stage effect, and to clearly grasp that the expectation for the big hit is high.

  Furthermore, since it is possible to stand by at the highest standby position even if the prisoner portion 5103 is rotated to the back position where it can be viewed, the expectation of the big hit is further increasing (being in the reach state) It can be made to understand clearly.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 181, from the front surface position where the player can visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel portions 5102a and 5102b, the movable character unit 5100 moves to the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison character portion 5103 By performing the rotating effect to rotate, it is possible to show the two-sidedness of the movable character unit 5100.

  Furthermore, the movable character unit 510 which has been rotated to the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103 executes a downward effect of moving downward from above the game board 4 so that a drop may be produced. In this way, it is possible to show the player an effect that has an impact.

  In particular, when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the downward effect is performed by performing the downward effect at a higher speed than the upward effect, so that the downward effect such as the drop of the eyebrow is executed. By performing the downward effect at substantially the same speed as the upward effect, it is possible to perform an impact with more impact.

  In FIG. 180, although the case where the degree of expectation for notification is 0%, 50%, and 90% has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by increasing the degree of expectation to be reported to 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 95%, it is possible to make the degree of expectation of the reported big hit interesting.

[3-2. Movable presentation mode of the movable role unit 5100]
Next, with reference to FIG. 182 and FIG. 183, an example of the presentation mode of the movable service unit 5100 will be described.

  FIG. 182 (a) is a view showing a state in which a decorative symbol is variably displayed on the movable role part unit 5100 and the main liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 182 (b) is a diagram showing a state in which effects are produced as if the movable character object unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is looking through the decorative symbol variably displayed. FIG. 182 (c) is a diagram showing an aspect of the rise effect in which the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention performs an ascending operation.

  Further, FIG. 183 (a) is a view showing a state of front and back rotation of the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 183 (b) is a view showing the state of the back surface position of the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 183 (c) is a diagram showing an aspect of the scan effect of the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 182 and 183, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 of the movable service unit 5100 displays an image related to the symbol displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. Here, based on the result of the lottery process, the mobile character unit 5100 sees through the decorative symbol 5200 displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 while moving upward from the bottom of the game board 4. An example is shown in which an effect is executed, and the scan effect is executed as if the result of the perspective effect was pasted on the decorative symbol 5200 while the movable character unit 5100 moves downward from above the game board 4.

  As shown in FIG. 182 (a), in the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the decorative symbols 5200 (left decorative symbol 5200a, middle decorative symbol 5200b, right decorative symbol 5200c) are variably displayed, and the movable character unit 5100 is a game board Waiting at the standby position below 4

  Next, as shown in FIG. 182 (b), when execution of the scan effect is determined, the movable character unit 5100 moves upward from below the game board 4, and the decorative symbol 5200 displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed. The girl in the decorative pattern 5200b displays an image with a crazy expression while moving to the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 at a shielding position that blocks the face of the girl. By displaying an image with a crazy expression in this manner, a perspective effect is performed as if the inside of the girl of the decorative symbol 5200b in the middle is being displayed variably on the main liquid crystal display device 1900.

  In detail, since the inside decoration pattern 5200 b is changing, various decoration patterns are sequentially displayed. Therefore, in response to the symbols located on the back surface of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, images in which various girls make crazy expressions are sequentially displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 182 (c), the movable role feature unit 5100 further moves to the upper side of the game board 4 and moves to the uppermost standby position (see FIG. 180 (c)) and stands by for a certain period. At this time, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 displays an image in which a predetermined girl has an expression of madness, which is the result of the perspective effect as if the inside of the girl of the inside decoration pattern 5200 b is seen through.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 183 (a), in the main liquid crystal display device 1900, the left decoration pattern 5200a and the right decoration pattern 5200c of the decoration pattern 5200 stop at the same combination of decoration patterns, and only the middle decoration pattern 5200b changes. In the reach state displayed, the movable character unit 5100 circularly moves in a predetermined direction (arrow C direction or arrow D direction) from the surface position where the player can visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel units 5102 a and 5102 b. The rotation effect is performed such that the player can rotate to the back position where the prisoner object 5103 can be visually recognized.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 183 (b), an effect of rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 with the movable role unit 5100 at the back surface position is executed. In detail, it is seen through as if only the liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated in the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103 and the inside of the girl of the inside decoration pattern 5200 b is seen through. An image, which is a result of presentation and in which a predetermined girl makes a crazy expression, is displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 183 (c), when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the movable character unit 510 in which only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated at the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103. Executes a downward effect of moving from the upper side of the game board 4 to the lower side (direction of arrow B in FIG. 180 (a)), and the image displayed on the sub liquid crystal display 5101 is a decorative pattern 5200 of the main liquid crystal display 1900. Execute a scan effect like pasting to

  In detail, an image substantially similar to the image of a girl who has a crazy expression displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is displayed on the middle decoration pattern 5200 b displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. In other words, a scan effect is performed as if the image of a girl with a crazy expression displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is attached to the middle decoration pattern 5200 b.

  In addition, the result of the lottery process by pasting the image of the girl who has a crazy expression on the inside decoration pattern 5200b and stopping the left decoration pattern 5200a and the right decoration pattern 5200c at the same combination of the inside decoration pattern 5200b Informing that the is a big hit.

  On the other hand, when the result of the lottery process is not a big hit, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is not rotated, and the scan effect is not performed at the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103 Execute (not shown). At this time, by executing a scan failure effect of executing a downward effect at substantially the same speed as the upward effect, it is informed that the result of the lottery process is not a big hit.

  Further, when the result of the lottery process is not a big hit, the movable combination unit 510 in which only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated at the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object part 5103 is from the upper side of the game board 4 downward. Move to the direction of arrow B in FIG. 180 (b), but execute a scan failure rendering that fails to paste the image of a girl with a crazy expression displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 on the inside decoration pattern 5200b. In some cases, it may be informed that the result of the lottery process was not a big hit.

  Furthermore, when the result of the lottery process is not a big hit, the player rotates from the front surface position where the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel portions 5102a and 5102b are visible to the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object portion 5103. The scan failure rendition which can not execute the scan rendition without being executed may inform that the result of the lottery process is not the big hit. In addition, the scan failure rendering may be performed in which the movable role feature unit 5100 descends halfway at the front surface position or the back surface position but returns to the uppermost standby position without descending to the end.

  Further, it may be determined by lottery which one of the scan failure rendition effects among the above scan failure renditions is to be executed. By determining the perspective effect, the scan effect or the scan failure effect as described above, when the perspective effect is executed, the player can be excited about whether or not the movable role unit 5100 is rotated next, which is movable. The next time the character unit 5100 is rotated, the player can be thrilled depending on whether the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated or not, and furthermore, the player is pounded whether the scan effect is executed and whether it succeeds or fails. Since it can be made to be able to make it possible, a sense of expectation can be inflated to a big hit gradually.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention described above, when the movable role unit 5100 stands by at the standby position below the gaming board 4, a predetermined logo is displayed on the front side 5100a of the movable role unit 5100. There may be cases. For example, the panel portion 5102a is decorated in advance with the shapes of the characters "h" and "a", and the panel portion 5102b is decorated in advance with the shapes of the characters "S" and "!" For example, when the reach effect is executed, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 displays the character “n” to interlock with the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel units 5102 a and 5102 b, and a chance! It can also be configured to represent the letter. The predetermined logo is not limited to "chance!", And may be another logo.

[4. Characteristic effects and the like of the second embodiment of the present invention]
The above-described second embodiment of the present invention has the same effects as the effects according to the first embodiment of the present invention, but also has the following effects.

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, in order to notify the degree of expectation for the result of the lottery process being a big hit by the stop position at which the movable service unit 5100 has stopped rising (see FIGS. 180 and 181). ), Can be expected at a glance the degree of expectation for the big hit.

  In the conventional gaming machine, since the degree of expectation such as a big hit is determined in advance for each type of effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device, a player who does not remember the degree of expectation for each type of effect is expected for the liquid crystal display device Even if the effect indicating the degree is displayed, it can not be grasped whether the degree of expectation is high or low.

  However, in the second embodiment of the present invention described above, since the movable combination unit 5100 waiting at the standby position below the gaming board 4 reports the expectation of the big hit by the position at which it is lifted and stopped, Even if the degree of expectation is not remembered for each type, it can be clearly understood whether the degree of expectation of the big hit is high or low depending on the height at which the movable character unit 5100 is raised.

  Further, since it is possible for the movable role-effect unit 5100 to rise to the vicinity of the inner rail 1112 (see FIG. 110) above the gaming board 4 (to rise to the highest standby position) and stand by (FIG. 179 (c) Refer to), it is possible to make it easy to visually recognize the effects performed in the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, and to clearly grasp that the degree of expectation for the big hit is high, and the degree of expectation for the other players is also high It can appeal that it is.

  Furthermore, since it is possible to stand by at the highest standby position even if the prisoner portion 5103 is rotated to the back position where it can be viewed, the expectation of the big hit is further increasing (being in the reach state) While being able to make it be grasped clearly, it can appeal that other players are in a state of higher and higher expectation of the jackpot.

  Also, a rotation effect is performed in which the movable character unit 5100 rotates from the front surface position where the player can visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel portions 5102a and 5102b to the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison character portion 5103 By doing this, it is possible to show the duality of the movable character unit 5100.

  Furthermore, the movable effect unit 510 which has been rotated to the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103 executes a downward effect of moving downward from above the gaming board 4 and such a downward effect as a drop has occurred By executing this, it is possible to show the player an effect that has an impact.

  In particular, when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the downward effect is performed by performing the downward effect at a higher speed than the upward effect, so that the downward effect such as the drop of the eyebrow is executed. By performing the downward effect at substantially the same speed as the upward effect, it is possible to perform an impact with more impact.

  Also, since the prisoner part 5103 of the movable character unit 5100 rotated to the back surface position can be turned on, the degree of expectation with which the prisoner part 5103 appeared by the rotation effect, the prisoner part 5103 It is possible to make it easy to grasp the degree of expectation by suggesting the degree of expectation for the big hit by the color the light is on.

  Furthermore, since only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be rotated, the movable effect of the movable role unit 5100 and the display of the effect image on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be simultaneously performed.

  In the conventional gaming machine, after moving the item, the effect of displaying a predetermined effect image on the main liquid crystal display device is executed to complete the effect of 1. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the effect is completed. As a result, the fluctuation time may become long and extend for a while.

  However, in the second embodiment of the present invention, since it is possible to rotate only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, it is possible to execute effects on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 at the same time as lifting effects and movable effects of the character. . For this reason, it is possible to shorten the time taken for the effect and complete the conventional effect in a short time.

  In this manner, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the movable role unit 5100 performs lifting effect moving above and below the game board 4, and the movable portion 5100 is centered on one point of the side surfaces 5100c, 5100d. By performing the rotation effect of rotating 180 degrees and performing the effect of rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, it is possible to make the effect mode of the movable role unit 5100 various.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention, since the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is disposed on the front surface (player side) of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 for displaying the decorative symbol 5200 etc., the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is a game. It becomes a position close to the player, and it is possible to execute an effect that gives an impact to the player.

  However, in the second embodiment of the present invention, not only driving such as raising and lowering effects and rotation effects but also perspective effects as if seeing through the inner surface of the girl displayed on the decorative pattern 5200 of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 By performing a scan effect such as executing and pasting the result of the perspective effect on the decorative symbol 5200, a multi-sided effect is enabled in the movable role unit 5100.

  In detail, while moving the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, the image of the girl of gentle expression displayed on the decoration pattern of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is the image of the girl of crazy expression displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 By changing to the scan result, a scan effect as if the result of the see-through is pasted on the decorative pattern 5200 is executed.

  That is, although the image of the girl displayed on 5200 in the decorative pattern and the image of the girl displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 are the same person, they are from the sane (the expression shown in FIG. Change to the expression shown in (c). As described above, it is possible to give the player the unexpectedness of the effect by the contradictory elements of sanity and madness, and to attract interest by the unexpectedness of this effect.

  Furthermore, by determining the perspective effect, the scan effect, or the scan failure effect, the player can be excited about whether the movable role unit 5100 will rotate next when the perspective effect is executed, and the movable role When the object unit 5100 is rotated, the player can be excited about whether or not the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated next, and furthermore, the player is excited whether the scan effect is executed and succeeded.

  Furthermore, when the decorative symbol 5200 displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is interrupted by the movable character unit 5100, all of the decorative symbols 5200a, 5200b and 5200c are reduced by the same magnification to make the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 Can be configured to display

  In the third embodiment described above, the case is described where the mobile role unit 5100 waits at the highest standby position to notify that the gaming state is the latent probability change state, but the rise of the mobile role unit 5100 Based on whether or not to perform the effect to perform the operation to perform the rising effect as shown in FIG. 183, if the gaming state is latent probability change state, it stands by at the highest position, and the gaming state is latent probability change state If not, it may be informed that the state is not the latent certainty change state by falling although it rises to the middle.

  In the above case, when the gaming state is the latent probability change state, the mobile character unit 5100 stands by at the top position as shown in FIG. From the front surface position where the panel portions 5102a and 5102b are visually recognized, a rotation effect is performed to rotate to the back surface position where the player visually recognizes the prison object portion 5103, and from the top to the bottom of the game board 4 (FIG. 184 (a) A downward effect moving in the direction of arrow B) may be executed to execute a downward effect such as a drop of eyebrows at once. This makes it possible to clearly notify the player that the result of the lottery process is a big hit.

  On the other hand, when the gaming state is not the latent probability change state, the game board repeatedly executes the movable role unit 5100 in the left-down mode and the right-down mode even though the movable role unit 5100 is partially lifted. It descends from the upper side of 4 to the lower side (direction of arrow B in FIG. 184 (a)). However, it is possible to expand the expectation that the gaming state may be a latent certainty changing state by repeatedly moving the movable role unit 5100 upward and downward to the left and rising to the right.

  In addition, as described above with reference to FIGS. 180 and 181, in order to notify the degree of expectation that the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the movable role unit is raised to a position indicating the degree of expectation The left side of the 5100 is configured to repeatedly go up with the left rising aspect and the right side going up with the left rising aspect and repeatedly go down the left falling aspect with the left down and the right falling aspect with the right going down. it can. With such a configuration, it is possible to grasp the expectation for the big hit at a glance, and it is possible to cause the player to pound the rise and fall of the movable character unit 5100.

[3-2. Movable presentation mode of the movable role unit 5100]
Next, with reference to FIG. 185, an aspect of the movable effect at the back surface position of the movable service unit 5100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 185 (a) is a figure which shows the state in front and back rotation of the movable service item unit 5100 which concerns on 2nd Embodiment of this invention. FIG. 185 (b) is a view showing an aspect of the movable effect at the back surface position of the movable service unit 5100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 185 (c) is a view showing the rotation of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 at the back surface position of the movable service unit 5100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 185 (a) to FIG. 185 (c), based on the result of the lottery process described above, a movable effect is performed in which one end of the movable role unit 5100 is moved. Here, by executing the movable effect after the rotating effect that the movable combination product unit 5100 is turned to the front and back, it is informed that the expectation for the result of the lottery process being a big hit is high, and the lottery result is a big hit An example of notification is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 185 (a), when it is determined that the effect of notifying the expectation that the result of the lottery process is a big hit is determined, the movable role unit 5100 includes the sub liquid crystal display 5101 and the panel portion. 5102a, 5102b circular motion in a predetermined direction from the front surface position where the player can visually recognize, and performing rotation effect to rotate to the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103, and the expectation for being a big hit Show that is high.

  In addition, since it is possible to light the prison character part 5103 of the movable character unit 5100 which rotated to the back surface position as mentioned above as mentioned above, it is expected that the prison character part 5103 appeared by the rotation effect. The degree of expectation for the big hit can be suggested (not shown) according to the degree and the color in which the prison object portion 5103 is lit.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 185 (b), a movable effect is performed in which one end of the movable role unit 5100 rotated to the back surface position is moved in a predetermined direction (arrow F direction). Specifically, by performing a movable effect that vigorously swings the edge of the eyebrow around the portion of the handle of the eyebrow shown in FIG. 185 (b), it is informed that the result of the lottery process is a big hit.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 185 (c), an effect of rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 in a state where the movable role unit 5100 is at the back surface position is executed. Specifically, in the case of a big hit (for example, 12R big hit, 16R big hit, definite change big hit, positive change time big hit etc) while the result of the lottery processing is a big hit among the big wins, the movable effect is executed. Only the liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated with the movable character unit 5100 at the back surface position, and a predetermined effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5101 (the effect image of the eye is displayed in FIG. 185C).

  In addition, although the case where the effect of rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 with the movable character unit 5100 at the back surface position is performed is described with reference to FIG. 185 (c), the movable character unit 5100 is at the surface position. By rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 in the state (it may be rotated a plurality of times), the degree of expectation for the big hit may be suggested.

  In this manner, only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be rotated, so that the movable effect of the movable role unit 5100 and the display of the effect image on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be simultaneously performed.

[5. Characteristic effects and the like of the third embodiment of the present invention]
The third embodiment of the present invention described above has the same effects as the effects of the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the present invention, but also has the following effects.

  As described above, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the gaming state is in the latent certainty changing state (the result of the lottery processing is a big hit as compared to the normal gaming state) by raising the movable role unit 5100 to the highest standby position. (See FIG. 184), it is possible to grasp at a glance that the current gaming state is the latent probability change.

  In the conventional gaming machine, since the gaming state is indicated by the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device, the player who does not remember the gaming state for each type of effect has any of the effects displayed on the liquid crystal display device. It can not be understood whether it is indicative of the state.

  However, in the third embodiment of the present invention described above, the gaming state is the latent probability change state by the movable role unit 5100 waiting at the standby position below the gaming board 4 rising to the highest standby position. In order to inform that, even if you do not remember the degree of expectation for each type of effect, it is possible to play the game whether the present gaming state is the latent probability change depending on whether the movable role unit 5100 has risen to the highest standby position or not. Can be clearly understood by

  When the movable role unit 5100 rises above the game board 4 to the vicinity of the inner rail 1112 (see FIG. 110) (rises to the highest standby position) and the movable role unit 5100 is at the highest standby position, the sub The movable character unit 5100 including the liquid crystal display 5101 is partially projected from the display area of the main liquid crystal display 1900 (the area where the main liquid crystal display 1900 can display effect images such as symbols) (see FIG. 180 (c), see FIG. 186 (c) described later).

  And since it is possible to stand by at the above-mentioned highest standby position, it is possible to make it easy to visually recognize the effects to be executed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, and there is a probability that the player playing the game will be a big hit. In addition to making it clear that the game is in a higher state than the normal game, it is also a good game state in which the probability of becoming a big hit to other players is high, and appealing that the pachislot machine 1 is doing well It is possible to provide a novel pachislot machine 1 that can be used.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 185, from the front surface position where the player can visually recognize the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 and the panel portions 5102a and 5102b, the movable character unit 5100 moves from the front surface position to the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison character portion 5103 By performing the rotating effect to rotate, it is possible to show the two-sidedness of the movable character unit 5100.

  In addition, a movable effect is performed by moving one end of the movable character unit 510, which has been rotated to the back surface position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103, in a predetermined direction (direction of arrow F in FIG. By executing the moveable effect that vigorously swings up, it is possible to show the player an impacted effect.

  In particular, in the case where the result of the lottery processing is a big hit (for example, 12R big hit, 16R big hit, definite change big hit, positive change time big hit etc) among the big hits, the movable combination unit 5100 is the back position By rotating only the liquid crystal display device 5101 in the state and displaying a predetermined effect image on the liquid crystal display device 5101 (in FIG. 185 (c), the effect image of the eyes is displayed), it is possible to execute an effect with more impact. .

  Also, since the prisoner part 5103 of the movable character unit 5100 rotated to the back surface position can be turned on, the degree of expectation with which the prisoner part 5103 appeared by the rotation effect, the prisoner part 5103 It is possible to make it easy to grasp the degree of expectation by suggesting the degree of expectation for the big hit by the color the light is on.

  Furthermore, since only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be rotated, the movable effect of the movable role unit 5100 and the display of the effect image on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can be simultaneously performed.

  In the conventional gaming machine, after moving the item, the effect of displaying a predetermined effect image on the main liquid crystal display device is executed to complete the effect of 1. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the effect is completed. As a result, the fluctuation time may become long and extend for a while.

  However, in the third embodiment of the present invention, since it is possible to rotate only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, it is possible to execute effects on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 at the same time as lifting effects and movable effects of the character. . For this reason, it is possible to shorten the time taken for the effect and complete the conventional effect in a short time.

  In this manner, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the movable role unit 5100 performs lifting effect moving above and below the game board 4, and the movable portion 5100 is centered on one point of the side surfaces 5100c, 5100d. By performing the rotation effect of rotating 180 degrees and performing the effect of rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, it is possible to make the effect mode of the movable role unit 5100 various.

  In the third embodiment of the present invention, since the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is disposed on the front surface (player side) of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 for displaying the decorative symbol 5200 etc., the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is a game. It becomes a position close to the player, and it is possible to execute an effect that gives an impact to the player.

  Further, in the third embodiment of the present invention, the case of latent probability has been described as the gaming state, but the expectation of the fluctuation, the state of the fluctuation, and the state of expressing the expectation over the fluctuation (for example, prefetch zone) Good.

Fourth Embodiment of the Present Invention

[3. Characteristic effects and the like of the fourth embodiment of the present invention]
The fourth embodiment of the present invention described above has the same effects as the effects of the first to third embodiments of the present invention, but also has the following effects.

  As described above, in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the movable role product unit 5100 is waiting below the gaming board 4 (see FIG. 186 (a)) to the topmost waiting position (FIG. 189 (c)). When the mobile character unit 5100 is configured to hide the center character 2500, the movable character unit 5100 stands by at the lower standby position and at the highest standby position. In the state in which the player is playing, the shape of the information display area 6201 capable of displaying information suggesting the state of the game changes. As described above, by changing the shape of the information display area 6201, it is possible to perform various effects by changing the position of the effect image displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the sub liquid crystal display device 5101.

  In addition, when the movable role product unit 5100 is in the standby state below the gaming board 4 (see FIG. 186 (a)) to the top standby position (see FIG. 189 (c)), information indicating the state of the game The information display area 6201 which can display can be enlarged. As a result, since it is possible to show a large effect image by the effect image displayed by the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, it is possible to give the player an impact.

  In the fourth embodiment described above, there has been described the case where the expectation of the result of the lottery process mentioned above being a big hit is informed by the stop position at which the movable character product unit 5100 has stopped rising. When the game unit 5100 stands by at the highest standby position, it notifies when the gaming state is the latent probability change, informs the degree of expectation for being the latent probability big hit, and gives the degree of expectation for the probable variation big hit, etc. It can be applied to Also in this case, by waiting at the top standby position, it is possible to appeal to the player and to appeal to other players in the game hall that the pachinko machine 1 is performing well.

  Further, the degree of expectation may be notified that the gaming state shifts to a high probability state where the expectation for a big hit is high, or the degree of expectation to shift to a predetermined rendering mode. Even with such a configuration, the player can be greatly appealed, and other players in the game hall can be appealed that the pachinko machine 1 is performing well.

  Furthermore, by configuring the movable character unit 5100 so as to hide the center character 2500 when in the top standby position, the main liquid crystal display device 1900 and the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 can produce effects in an integrated manner.

Because it is possible to execute the effect, it is possible to eliminate the mannerality of the effect

(Other Embodiments of the Embodiment of the Present Invention)
Next, characteristic configurations, operations, and the like of other embodiments of the present invention will be described. In addition, since the pachinko machine 1 according to the other embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the pachinko machine 1 according to the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention, the description of the same configuration will be omitted. I assume.

[1. Opportunity of rise and fall production of movable role unit 5100]
In the embodiment described above, the case where the expectation of the result of the lottery processing being a big hit is notified by the stop position where the movable movable object unit 5100 which has risen has stopped rising has been described, or the case where the gaming state is the latent probability change However, it is not limited to this. For example, the degree of expectation for being a low probability big hit may be reported, and the degree of expectation for being a big jackpot may be announced. Further, the degree of expectation may be notified that the gaming state shifts to a high probability state where the expectation for a big hit is high, or the degree of expectation to shift to a predetermined rendering mode. Even with this configuration, it is possible to clearly grasp the degree of expectation of the jackpot and the mode.

  In addition, although the case where the result of the lottery process reports the degree of expectation for being a big hit by the stop position at which the movable combination product unit 5100 has stopped rising has been described, or the case where the gaming state is the latent probability change, it is not limited thereto . For example, the stop position at which the movable role unit 5100 moves from the right to the left or from the left to the right of the game board 4 and stops it notifies the degree of expectation that the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the gaming state is latent It may be informed that it is a definite variation, and even with this configuration, it is possible to clearly grasp the degree of expectation of the big hit or the mode.

[2. Upward production of movable role unit 5100]
In the embodiment described above, although the case in which the movable character product unit 5100 is moved up to the position indicating the degree of expectation is performed before any of the three decorative symbols that have started to change stop, a plurality of times (for example, 4 You may move gradually until the variation of the decoration pattern of the time is completed.

  For example, by displaying the decorative symbol 5200 temporarily in a half stop state as if it were stopped, it is possible to make the decorative symbol 5200 appear to be changed and displayed several times in a pseudo manner. And the symbol are configured in four stages as a pseudo-sequence effect and a story effect by stopping at a predetermined location, and after the start of a pseudo-sequence effect such as a story pseudo-sequence effect showing how far the story continues The item unit 5100 can start rising, and it can be configured to rise to the position indicating the expected degree by the end of the pseudo-series effect. By configuring in this way, it is possible to grasp at first sight the degree of expectation for the big hit by the pseudo-series effect.

  In addition, when raising to the position indicating the degree of expectation of the movable combination product unit 5100 over a plurality of variations of the decorative symbol, the determination performed prior to the lottery process (big hit success, big hit type, etc.) Based on the above, it is possible to execute the pre-reading effect of determining the number of times of change in the movable combination unit 5100. In detail, for example, when there is a hold determined to execute the pre-reading effect, when it is determined, the mobile character unit 5100 starts to rise, and in the variation in which the hold is digested, one or two of the three decorative symbols have a decorative design It is configured to rise to a position indicating the degree of expectation before stopping. By configuring in this way, by performing the pre-reading effect, which has been conventionally executed by changing the reserved color, in the movable character unit 5100, it is possible to grasp at first sight the expectation for the big hit by the pre-reading effect .

  Furthermore, when the degree of expectation is high (for example, when the degree of expectation is 85% or more), the rate of moving at once is increased, and when the degree of expectation is low (for example, 84% or less) By reducing the moving ratio, it is possible to configure so that the degree of expectation for the big hit can be grasped by the moving speed and the rising position of the movable character object unit 5100.

  Further, in addition to the notification of the degree of expectation of the big hit, the effect of raising may be made different depending on the degree of the degree of expectation. For example, when the degree of expectation is low, as shown in FIG. 179, the movable role unit 5100 waiting at the standby position below the game board 4 vertically moves upward, and when the degree of expectation is high, As shown in FIG. 181, the movable role unit 5100 waiting at the standby position below the game board 4 may be moved upward by repeating the upward and rightward aspect. As described above, by making the effect of elevating the movable character unit 5100 different depending on the degree of expectation, it is possible to be interested in the degree of expectation of the reported big hit.

  In the embodiment described above, as an example of moving the movable role unit 5100 from one of the game board 4 and the main liquid crystal display device 1900 to the other, the case of moving from the lower side of the game board 4 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the upper side. As described above, even if it is configured to move diagonally from right to left, left to right, one corner to the other corner of the game board 4 or the liquid crystal display device 1900, move from right to upper, left to lower Good.

[3. Rotation presentation of movable role unit 5100]
In the embodiment described above, the case is described in which the movable character unit 5100 is rotated to the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103 when the decorative symbol 5200 is in a mode indicating reach, but the decorative symbol 5200 is a reach It is not limited to the case of rotating in the manner shown. For example, when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the movable combination product unit 5100 is rotated to the back surface position while the decorative pattern 5200 is fluctuating, and a descent effect is performed by performing a drop effect such as a droop falling at once. By setting the main liquid crystal display device 1900 to stop the decorative symbol 5200 corresponding to the big hit when it passes through the decorative symbol 5200, it is possible to shorten the variation time of the decorative symbol.

  Further, when the movable combination product unit 5100 is rotated to the back surface position, the expectation for the result of the lottery processing being a big hit is high, and regardless of whether the result of the lottery processing is a big hit, the movable combination unit 5100 can be configured to execute a downward effect of falling at the front surface position or the back surface position. By configuring in this way, whether or not the movable combination product unit 5100 performs the rotation effect, whether or not the movable combination product unit 5100 falls and the decorative symbol 5200 corresponding to the big hit is stopped in the main liquid crystal display device 1900 Or, the player can be excited in stages.

  Furthermore, in a state where the movable combination product unit 5100 stands by at a predetermined position, the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 performs an effect to prompt the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 (see FIG. 2). In the case of a turn to a high value, the expectation of the result of the lottery process being a big hit can be configured to be high. By this configuration, it is possible to operate the pressing operation unit 405 while making the player thrilled whether or not the movable combination product unit 5100 is rotated.

[4. Standby position of movable role unit 5100]
In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIG. 180 (c), the movable role unit 5100 is configured to be able to ascend to the highest standby position. However, the expectation for the big hit is high. By placing the movable role unit 5100 in the standby state at the highest standby position even during the period in which the mode is being executed, it is possible to make the player clearly grasp that the mode with high expectation for the big hit is high. In addition, when the latent jackpot is determined, the player can clearly grasp the gaming state by, for example, putting the movable role unit 5100 in the standby state at the highest standby position.

[5. Movable presentation of Movable character unit 5100]
In the embodiment described above, a case is described in which the result of the lottery process reports that the result of the lottery process is a big hit by executing movable effect that vigorously swings the eyebrow blade, but it is not limited to the big hit. For example, when the degree of expectation for being a big hit is high, or when the degree of expectation for being a probability variation big hit is high, the movable effect may be executed. In addition, when the degree of expectation for transition to the high probability state where the expectation for the big hit is high is high, etc., the degree of expectation can be grasped at a glance by executing the movable effect.

  In the above case, when the big hit is determined, when the positive variation is determined, or when the state is shifted to the high probability state, that is, when the decorative symbol 5200 stops on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 in a specific mode By rotating only the display device 5101 to display a predetermined effect image on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, effects can be further diversified.

[6. Rotation effect of sub liquid crystal display device 5101]
In the embodiment described above, the case where only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated in the state at the front surface position or the back surface position of the movable role unit 5100 is described, but when only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated When the result of the processing is high in the expectation for being a big hit, it is possible to increase the ratio of executing the rising effect and the falling effect while rotating only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101. As such, by suggesting the degree of expectation for the big hit by the raised position of the movable part product unit 5100 and the rotation of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, it is possible to easily grasp the degree of degree of expectation.

  Also, in the case where only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated, the rate of executing the upside effect and the downside effect while increasing the number of rotations of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 when the expectation of the lottery process is a big hit is high. Can be made easy to grasp the degree of expectation by suggesting the degree of expectation for the big hit by the raised position of the movable part product unit 5100 and the rotation speed of the sub liquid crystal display device 5101.

[7. Scan Effect of Sub Liquid Crystal Display 5101]
In the embodiment described above, when the result of the lottery process is a big hit, the movable combination unit 5100 in which only the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is rotated above the game board 4 at the back position where the player can visually recognize the prison object 5103 The case has been described where a downward effect moving downward from the side is executed, and a scan effect such that the image displayed on the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is attached to the decorative symbol 5200 of the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is performed, The scan effect may be executed only when the jackpot is a probability change jackpot which gives the player many benefits among the jackpots and a jackpot with a large number of rounds. By configuring in this way, it is possible to have a greater sense of expectation for the jackpot that is given many benefits.

  Further, in the sub liquid crystal display device 5101, a part of the character displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900 is enlarged and displayed (for example, only the thigh of the girl character is enlarged and displayed) and displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1900. The effect is as if the image displayed on the main liquid crystal display device by the sub liquid crystal display device 5101 is being viewed by enlarging the part of the decorative symbol displayed, or if it is viewed with a magnifying glass It can be done.
