The decoration drawing is displayed in a form that allows the player to distinguish and identify the decoration drawing by any number, letter, pattern or the like.

  And, when the decoration figure of each symbol row displayed fixedly stopped at the effective stop position (stop symbol effective line) of each symbol row in the effect display device 17 is the symbol combination of the hit, the hit game is given It has become possible to grasp that. Here, in the embodiment, as a winning combination of symbols, a symbol combination is set in which the same decoration figure is displayed on any stop symbol effective line. The symbol combination of the decoration that can recognize this hit is hit display displayed on the effect display device 17, and a hit game advantageous to the player is given after the end of the symbol variation effect. On the other hand, in the case of a different kind of decoration drawing of all the rows displayed fixedly stopped at the effective stop position of the effect display device 17, in principle, the hit game is not provided from the symbol combination " It can be recognized that the The symbol combination of the decoration that can recognize this disappointing becomes the disappointing display of the effect display device 17.

  In addition, in the symbol fluctuation rendition, the same decoration figure is stopped and displayed in a specific symbol row (in the embodiment, the left symbol row and the right symbol row in the plurality of symbol rows, and the remaining symbol rows (in the embodiment) The player can recognize that the reach has been generated by the display (reach display) in which the middle symbol row is variably displayed. As an example of a specific reach display, it becomes a symbol combination in which the same decoration figure is stopped and displayed in the left symbol row and the right symbol row ("1 1 1", "4 4 4", etc.). Note that “「 ”indicates that it is in motion. In addition, the decoration figure of the particular design line (the left design line and the right design line) which forms reach indication is made the state of temporary stop, decoration figure stop indication indication (temporary stop) in the remaining design line (middle figure line) After being displayed, the decoration drawings of all the symbol rows are displayed in a fixed stop.

  Further, as a result of the special view variation display performed by the first special view display unit 50A and the second special view display unit 50B, the effect display device 17 displays the symbol combination of the decoration according to the special view to be displayed.

(About a definite change state)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing the first bonus game state as a game state advantageous to the player after the end of the hit game. Here, as the first bonus game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the special winning opening 41 is a state where it increases compared to the state where the first bonus game state is not provided. Specifically, in the first bonus game state, the chance of winning the determination per special drawing is changed from a low probability to a high probability, thereby activating the special winning portion 40 (winning trigger of the pachinko ball to the special winning portion) Can increase the incidence rate of In the following description, the gaming state to which the first bonus gaming state has been given is referred to as the “probable change state” for the sake of convenience.

  The probability change function is determined on the basis of a special figure after the end of the hit game, provided that the type of special figure (special figure 1 or special figure 2) per special figure displayed as a fixed stop is a predetermined figure (specific figure). It is a function of giving a probability change state in which the probability (hit probability) resulting in hitting changes from low probability (for example, 1/399) to high probability (for example, 1/60). Note that the gaming state to which the definite change state is not given is referred to as the non-deterministic change state. In the embodiment, the special figure hit to which the positive variation state is given after the end of the hit game is the positive variation hit, and the special figure hit to which the positive variation state is not given is the non-positive variation hit. As described above, when the probability change state is given, the probability that the special feature determination is the determination result of the special feature fluctuates to a high probability, and the special feature hit is easily generated, so that the probability change condition is advantageous for the player. The player is playing a game expecting to be a chance hit. Here, whether or not to give a definite change state is determined according to the type of symbol per special drawing as described later. Then, in the embodiment, in the case of a special figure-permitted state in which a probability change state is awarded, a probability change state is continuously awarded until the next winning game is won after the end of the hit game. In addition, it is also possible to divide the number of times of execution (the number of changes) of the symbol change effect (special figure change) to which the probability change state is given into a predetermined number (for example, 70 times). Here, whether or not to give a definite change state, a specific area configured to be able to detect a pachinko ball by a ball detection sensor is formed in the special winning portion 40 opened in the hit game and passed the specific area It is possible to apply a probability change state on the condition that the ball detection sensor detects the pachinko ball. In this case, a ball detection sensor that detects a pachinko ball that has passed through the specific area is connected to the main control board 60 by wiring. In this case, a special winning portion having a specific area and a special winning portion not having a specific area are configured, and a pachinko ball is awarded to a special winning portion having a specific area according to the type of hit game. Ease (the opening ratio of the special winning portion having a specific area) can be set.

(About the change state)
In addition, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment has a function of providing a second bonus game state (second game state) as a game state advantageous to the player after the end of the hit game. Here, as the second bonus game state, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start port 36 opened and closed by the start opening and closing member 38 compared to the game state where the second bonus game state is not provided It is an easy winning state to increase. Specifically, in the second bonus game state, (1) shortening the fluctuation time of the spread map fluctuation display, (2) changing the probability per spread map from low to high probability, (3) once per spread map By increasing the opening time of the start opening / closing member 38 for opening the second start opening 36, the winning opportunity of the pachinko ball to the second start opening 36 can be increased. In the second bonus game state, the above (1) to (3) can be used alone or in combination. When increasing the opening time of the start opening / closing member 38 for opening the second start port 36 per one common drawing, the opening time of the start opening / closing member 38 may be realized simply by extending it, and the start It can also be realized by increasing the number of times of opening and closing member 38, or these may be combined. In the embodiment, the above (1) to (3) are combined as the second bonus game state, and in the following description, the state in which these (1) to (3) are combined is referred to as "variation state It shall be said. That is, the variable short state is an easy winning state in which the winning percentage of the pachinko ball to the second starting opening 36 is improved. In the variable state of the embodiment, the fluctuation time of the general drawing fluctuation display performed by the general drawing display unit 55 after the end of the winning game is shortened, and the probability per common drawing is low (in the embodiment, 1/00). 65536) to a high probability (65535/65536 in the embodiment).

  In addition, the winning upper limit number (10 in the embodiment) is set to allow winning in the second starting port 36 (second starting port 36) per one blowout figure, and the starting opening and closing member 38 is opened. When the number of winning prizes after that reaches the number-of-winnings upper limit number, the opening / closing operation of the start opening / closing member 38 is forcibly ended and closed. Here, in the embodiment, the period (hereinafter referred to as the number of times of variation) in which the variation state is given is changed according to the type of the big hit symbol (special figure 1 or special figure 2) which is won in the big hit. ing. Specifically, if the type of symbol (special symbol 1 or special symbol 2) per special image is a predetermined symbol (symbol A, symbol B, symbol O described later in the embodiment), the hit game is next. It is set to be given a variation state until it is generated, and another type of symbol (special figure 1 or special figure 2) per symbol is specified in advance. Another symbol (symbol X and symbol described later in the embodiment) In the case of Y), the fluctuation state is performed until a predetermined number of times (seven times in the embodiment) of symbol fluctuation effects (the total number of times of the first special figure fluctuation display and the second special figure fluctuation display) is performed It is set to be granted. Here, the provision condition of the variation state is determined for each type of hit game (special pattern per symbol). Moreover, the provision period (number of times of variation) of the variation state is not limited to the above period, and the variation when the probability variation state is provided together with the variation state (first provision condition) is satisfied. It can be set as the number of times of fluctuation of the symbol variation effect (special figure fluctuation display) exceeding a predetermined reference number of times (for example, 100 times) as the short number of times, and only the variation state is given (the second giving condition) The number of times of variation can be set as the upper limit to the reference number of times (for example, 100 times) as the number of times of variation when the above condition is satisfied (when a positive change state is not simultaneously given). The application period (the number of variations) of the variable state in the case where the first application condition is satisfied does not have to coincide with the period (the number of definite variations) of the definite state, and (the number of variations) <(the number of positive variations) It is also possible to set as. In other words, when the ball detection sensor is configured to provide a definite change state under the condition that the ball detection sensor detects the pachinko ball that has passed through the specific area, the number of times of variation is equal to or greater than the reference frequency on the condition that the specific area is passed. It can be configured to be provided, and can be configured to be provided with the number of changes in the range with the reference number as the upper limit when not passing through the specific region. In other words, depending on whether or not the specific area is passed, whether or not the probability change state is to be applied changes, and the application period of the change state is configured to change.

Here, in the embodiment, an integer value of “1” to “200” corresponding to the above-mentioned 200 types of special drawing determination random numbers is set as the special drawing determination determination value, and the special drawing determination The special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are individually associated with each of the values.

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores an effect execution determination value (reach determination value). The effect execution determination value determines whether or not to execute reach effect that suggests the possibility that the hit display will be displayed on the effect display device 17 when the result of the hit determination (judging on the special image) is negative. This is a determination value used in (reach lottery), and is determined from among all possible 239 integers from “0” to “238” that can be taken by the effect execution determination random number. That is, when the value of the acquired effect execution determination random number matches the set effect execution determination value, the main control CPU 60a determines to execute the effect such as the reach effect.

  Here, the effect execution determination value differs in the set number of determination values in accordance with the gaming state (whether it is a probability change state or a variation state or not) at the time of performing the effect execution determination. That is, in the case of the effect execution determination performed based on the first start pending information and the second start pending information, according to the number of effect execution determination values set in the non-shortening state where the variable short state is not given. The number of effect execution determination values set in the variable state is also set to be larger. Further, the effect execution determination value is set so that the set number of effect execution determination values fluctuates according to the number of stored special drawing start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c. Specifically, the setting number of the effect execution determination value is set to decrease as the number of storages of the special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c increases. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, it is set such that the setting number of the effect execution determination value decreases as the total number obtained by adding the storage numbers of the first special drawing start reservation information and the second special drawing start reservation information increases.

  Specifically, in the non-probability state and the non-change state (non-probability state), or the definite state and the non-change state (probability state), the total number of special drawing start and hold information is "0". In this case, 32 effect execution determination values are set, and when the total number is "1", 25 effect execution determination values are set, and when the total number is "2", 22 effect execution determination values are It is set, and when the total number is "3" to "7", twenty effect execution determination values are set. Similarly, in the definite variation state and the variation state (probability variation short state), when the total number of the special drawing start suspension information is "0", 40 effect execution determination values are set, and the total number is "1". In this case, 30 effect execution determination values are set, and 25 effect execution determination values are set when the total number is "2", and 20 effects when the total number is "3" to "7" The execution judgment value is set. That is, in the case of the variable state, reach effect is more easily generated than in the non-short state, and a feeling of expectation occurs that a special figure hit occurs in the symbol change effect performed in the variable state. Is supposed to raise

  Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a determination value for determining a special figure fluctuation pattern. The special figure fluctuation pattern distribution determination value is a judgment value used to determine one special figure fluctuation pattern among a plurality of types of special figure fluctuation patterns using the special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number, and the special figure fluctuation pattern The main control CPU 60a selects a special figure fluctuation pattern to which a predetermined predetermined number of judgment values are assigned every time and to which the judgment value corresponding to the acquired special figure fluctuation pattern determination random number is allocated. There is.

(About special figure fluctuation pattern)
The main control ROM 60b stores a plurality of types of special pattern fluctuation patterns. The special figure fluctuation pattern is the contents of the effect (display contents of the symbol fluctuation effect, which is executed from the start of the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display until the decoration drawing is determined and stopped and displayed) The basic contents of the light emission effect mode and the sound effect mode are specified. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern is the fluctuation time from when the first special figure fluctuation display or the second special figure fluctuation display starts until the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is determined stop display (design fluctuation effect and special drawing The time of fluctuation display is specified.

  Here, as the special figure fluctuation pattern, a special figure fluctuation pattern for a plurality of kinds of special figures, a special figure fluctuation pattern for a plurality of reach distractions for which a reach effect is performed, and no reach for which a reach effect is not performed A special pattern variation pattern for outliers is provided. In addition, the special figure fluctuation pattern for a special figure is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the special figure judgment is positive, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for a reach deviation is a presentation execution It is a special figure fluctuation pattern that can be selected by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the determination is affirmative, and the special figure fluctuation pattern for no reach loss is selectable by the main control CPU 60a when the result of the presentation execution determination is negative. It is a special figure fluctuation pattern. In addition, reach production is performed after the reach display is displayed in the symbol variation production performed by the production display device 17 and until the symbol combination of the decoration drawing which becomes per special figure or special figure is stopped and displayed It is an effect.

(About the open judgment information with the prize to the gate part)
The main control CPU 60a is set to acquire various random numbers as open determination information triggered by the pachinko ball passing through the gate unit 45 (specifically, the gate sensor 77 detects the pachinko ball). Here, as random numbers acquired by the main control CPU 60a triggered by the detection of the gate sensor 77, various random numbers such as a random number for determination per common drawing and a random number for common determination are set. Then, the main control CPU 60a updates these random number values at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the embodiment), temporarily stores the updated random number values in the main control RAM 60c, and rewrites the value before updating. The main control CPU 60a is configured to obtain the open determination information temporarily stored in the main control RAM 60c at the same timing according to the timing when the detection signal of the sensor 77 is input to the main control CPU 60a. Further, the main control CPU 60a executes a timer update process that measures time. In the main control RAM 60c, various information (random number value, timer value, flag, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko machine 10 is stored (set).

  In addition, the release determination information (various random number values) acquired when the ball enters the gate unit 45 (a pachinko ball is detected by the gate sensor 77) is stored as a common drawing start reservation information of a predetermined common drawing memory of the main control RAM 60c. It is configured to be temporarily stored and held in the area (storage area). In the general drawing start reservation information, a holding area to be stored in the main control RAM 60c is determined, and the general drawing start reservation information is read out by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Specifically, in the main control RAM 60c, the holding area capable of storing the common drawing start reservation information is composed of four storage areas of a first common drawing storage area to a fourth common drawing storage area. The open determination information (various random number values) acquired in response to one detection of each is sequentially stored in the first to fourth areas, and is stored in the main control RAM 60c when the generic view variation display is performed. The normal control start reservation information is read out by the main control CPU 60a from the first area to the fourth area in order.

  The judgment random number per common drawing is a random number used in the judgment per common drawing (lottery per common drawing) whether or not the opening of the second starting unit 35 (per common drawing) is generated as a result of the common drawing fluctuation display. is there. In the embodiment, a total of 65536 integer values from “0” to “65535” are set as random numbers for determination per common drawing, and are updated one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms). Further, the main control ROM 60b stores a common drawing determination value indicating that a common drawing is to be generated as a result of the common drawing change effect display. The judgment value per common drawing is a judgment value used in the judgment (common judgment per common drawing) whether or not per common drawing using the judgment random number per common drawing, “0” which can be taken by the random number per judgment per common drawing A predetermined number of determination values are determined from among the total of 65,536 integers from '65535'. Then, when the acquired random number per drawing determination determination random number matches the common generation drawing determination value, the main control CPU 60a determines that it is per common drawing, and opens / closes the start opening / closing member 38 after the common drawing variation display is performed. It is supposed to be. Here, the determination value per common drawing is different from the set number of determination values depending on whether or not the above-described variable state is applied at the time of making the determination per common drawing. Specifically, the number of judgment values per common drawing (in the example, 65535) set in the case of the variable short state is the number of judgment values per common drawing set in the case of the non-shortened state (example) Is set more than one). That is, by increasing the set number of determination values per common drawing in the variable / short state, the common hit per map is more likely to occur than in the non-shorted state. That is, the main control CPU 60a according to the embodiment has a function as an open determination unit that allows an open operation triggered by the detection of the gate sensor 77.

  The random number for common drawing determination is a random number used when determining the symbol 1 per common drawing 1 to the common drawing 4 to be displayed as a fixed stop on the common drawing display unit 55 when the determination per common drawing is determined as the determination result per common drawing. It is. Here, in the embodiment, all 197 integer values “1” to “197” are set as the common drawing determination random number, and are updated one by one in a predetermined cycle (4 ms). There is. That is, by the value of the common drawing determination random number acquired triggered by the detection of the gate sensor 77, the common drawing per symbol 1 described above as a common drawing to be displayed as a fixed stop on the common drawing display unit 55 when per common drawing A common figure 4 pattern is identified. In the case where the determination of the common drawing is a determination result of the removal, the common drawing is identified as the common drawing to be displayed as a fixed stop on the common drawing display unit 55.

  The main control ROM 60b stores a determination value for determining a common drawing. The determination value for the common drawing determination is the gate sensor for the common drawing per symbol 1 to the common drawing per symbol as the common drawing per symbol to be decidedly stopped by the common drawing indicator 55 when the result of the common drawing per judgment is affirmative. It is a judgment value determined using the random number for common drawing determination acquired at the time of detection of the pachinko ball by 77. Here, in the embodiment, 197 integer values of “1” to “197” corresponding to 197 common drawing determination random numbers are set as the common drawing determination determination value, and the common drawing determination Each of the determination values is associated with a symbol per common drawing 1 to a symbol 4 per common drawing.

(About processing with main control board)
Next, processing executed by the main control CPU 60a of the main control board 60 based on the control program will be described. The main control CPU 60a executes an initial setting process such as a security check upon powering on the pachinko machine 10, and then shifts to a state in which the pachinko machine 10 can play a game. In this state, normal processing is performed in a predetermined control cycle (every 4 ms). Here, in the normal processing executed by the main control CPU 60a, random number updating processing for updating various random numbers, timer updating processing for measuring time, command input / output processing for inputting / outputting various commands, game information display unit M In addition to executing processing related to the display contents in, flag setting processing, processing related to the execution of the hit game, etc., special map input processing for winning on the starting unit, and special map start processing for determination per special drawing It has become. Hereinafter, the special view input process and the special view start process will be specifically described.

(About special map input processing)
In the special view input process, as shown in FIG. 6, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won in the first starting unit 31 (step A11). That is, in step A11, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the first start winning detection sensor 75 corresponding to the first start portion 31 detects a pachinko ball is input. If the determination result in step A11 is negative, the process proceeds to step A15. If the determination result in step A11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of reservations of the first special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 ( Step A12). If the determination result in step A12 is negative (that is, the number of reservations of the first special view start suspension information is 4), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to step A15.

  If the determination result in step A12 is affirmative (the number of reservations for the first special view start reservation information <4), the number of the first special view start reservation information is increased by one and the first special information stored in the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of pendings of the figure start pending information is rewritten (step A13). Then, from the main control RAM 60c, the winning information (value of the determination random number for the special figure, the value of the special figure determination random number, the value of the effect execution determination random number, the value of the primary distribution random number, the value of the secondary distribution random number, etc. The main control CPU 60a reads out the values of various random numbers (1) to (1) of the first start suspension area in the main control RAM 60c in which the winning information (value of random number) is associated with the hold number as the first prize start hold information. The fourth area is set (step A14). Thus, the process proceeds to step A15.

  Further, at step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the pachinko ball has won in the second starting portion 35. That is, in step A15, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the second start winning detection sensor 76 corresponding to the second start unit 35 detects a pachinko ball is input. When the determination result in step A15 is negative, the special map input process is ended. If the determination result in step A15 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a determines whether or not the number of reservations of the second special view start suspension information stored in the main control RAM 60c is less than the upper limit number 4 ( Step A16). If the determination result in step A16 is negative (that is, the number of reservations of the second special view start reservation information is 4), the special view input process is ended.

  If the determination result in step A16 is affirmative (the number of reservations of the second special view start suspension information <4), the number of the second special view start suspension information is increased by one, and the second special function stored by the main control RAM 60c is stored. The number of pendings of the start-up pending information is rewritten (step A17). Then, from the main control RAM 60c, the winning information (value of the determination random number for the special figure, the value of the special figure determination random number, the value of the effect execution determination random number, the value of the primary distribution random number, the value of the secondary distribution random number, etc. The main control CPU 60a reads out the values of various random numbers) and associates the winning information (value of the random number) with the number of pending holdings at the time of second winning when it corresponds to the number of holdings in the first control holding area The fourth area is set (step A18), and the special figure input process is ended.

(About special processing start processing)
Next, special drawing start processing will be described based on FIGS. 7 to 9. The main control CPU 60a executes the special drawing start process every predetermined control cycle (4 ms in the embodiment). In the special view start process, the main control CPU 60a determines whether the special view 1 or the special view 2 is being variably displayed on the special view display portions 50A and 50B and the effect display device 17, or whether or not the hit game is in progress. To do (step B11). If the determination result in step B11 is affirmative, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process. On the other hand, if the determination result in step B11 is negative, the number of reservations for the second special view start suspension information is read (step B12), and the number of reservations for the second special view startup suspension information is greater than "0". It is determined (step B13). If the determination result in step B13 is negative (if the number of holdings of the second special view start suspension information is 0), the main control CPU 60a proceeds to the process of step B16. Further, when the determination result in step B13 is affirmative (the number of holdings of the second special view start suspension information> 0), the main control CPU 60a stores the special view stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. In the variation processing flag, a value "1" indicating that the second special figure variation presentation is to be performed is set. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts one from the number of reservations of the second special view start reservation information (step B14), and the second special information stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the number of reservations. The main control CPU 60a acquires the figure start reservation information (value of random number for judgment for special drawing, value of random number for special drawing determination, value of random number for presentation execution judgment and random number for special drawing fluctuation pattern determination) (Step B15).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires second special view start reservation information (random number) from the first special view storage area in which the second special view start reservation information stored earliest is stored. Then, after the main control CPU 60a acquires the random number associated with the second special view start reservation information, the second special view storage area in which the second special view start reservation information stored second earlier is stored is stored. 2) The special view start reservation information (random number) is stored in the first special view storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores second special view start reserve information (random number) of the third special view storage area in which the second special view start reserve information stored third earlier is stored. The second special view start reserve information (random number) of the fourth special view storage area in which the second special view start reserve information stored in the area and stored the fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special Store in the figure storage area. That is, the second special view start suspension information is read out by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the second special view suspension display unit 53 so as to correspond to the number of suspension of the second special view start suspension information after subtraction.

  When various random numbers as the second special view start reservation information are acquired by the process of the step B15, as shown in FIG. 8, the main control CPU 60a determines that the value of the acquired special figure determination random number for the special view A determination is made (special lottery) per special drawing to determine whether or not it matches the judgment value per special drawing stored (step B22). In addition, as described above, the probability that the determination result of the special figure determination is positive (ie, the probability per special figure) is set to 509/65536 in the non-probability variation state (in the case of low probability). The probability (probability per feature) at which the determination result is positive at time (time of high probability) is set to 510/65536. And, when the determination result of the special figure hitting determination in step B22 is affirmative (when the hit game occurs), the special figure hitting flag which shows that it is the fluctuation which becomes special figure hitting is set “1” (Step B23). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines a final stop symbol (special figure 2) to be a symbol per special figure to be displayed on the second special figure display unit 50B as a decision stop based on the acquired random number for special figure determination Step B24). Here, since the symbol per special drawing of the special drawing 2 is associated with the value of the special drawing determination random number, the main control CPU 60a selects the special drawing correspondence random number for special drawing determination. By determining FIG. 2, a special drawing per symbol will be determined. Then, when the symbol per special drawing (special drawing 2) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects one special drawing out of the special drawing fluctuation patterns for special drawing based on the value of the special drawing fluctuation pattern determination random number. A variation pattern is determined (step B25).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the special figure hit determination in step B22 is negative (if it is not the special figure hit), the main control CPU 60a determines whether to execute reach effect execution determination (reach determination ) (Step B27). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a performs the winning determination based on whether or not the value of the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c in the process of step B15 matches the effect execution determination value. Then, if the determination result in step B27 is affirmative (in the case of performing reach effect), the main control CPU 60a sets the final stop symbol (special symbol for the stop symbol displayed on the second special view display unit 50B) It determines as FIG. 2) (step B28). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for out-of-reach reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B29).

  Further, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B27 is negative (when the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a is an out-of-design symbol that is displayed on the second special view display unit 50B as a fixed stop Is determined as the final stop symbol (special figure 2) (step B30). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for outliers based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B31).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure fluctuation pattern and the final stop symbol (special figure 2) in steps B25, B29, B31 sets a predetermined control command (step B26). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure fluctuation pattern and instructs the start of the symbol fluctuation and also designates the special figure 2 to be the final stop pattern. 2 Set the specified command. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B13 is negative (if the number of reservations for the second special view start suspension information = 0), the number of suspension of the first special view startup suspension information is read (step B16). It is determined whether the number of holdings of the figure start reservation information is larger than "0" (step B17). If the determination result in step B17 is affirmative (the number of reservations for the first special view start suspension information> 0), the main control CPU 60a changes the special view fluctuation stored in the predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c. The processing flag is set to a value “0” indicating that the first special figure fluctuation effect is to be performed. Next, the main control CPU 60a subtracts 1 from the number of holdings of the first special view start reservation information (step B18), and is stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 60c associated with the first special view start reservation information. The main control CPU 60a acquires the value of the judgment random number per special drawing, the value of the special drawing determination random number, the value of the effect execution judgment random number, and the value of the special drawing fluctuation pattern determination random number (step B19). Execute hit determination processing. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the second special view start suspension information acquired triggered by the winning of the second start unit 35 is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the process is performed to the first start unit 31. Even if the first special drawing start reservation information acquired triggered by winning a prize is stored in the main control RAM 60c, the symbol variation effect based on the second special drawing start reservation information is preferentially executed. ing.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a acquires first special view start reservation information (random number) from the first special view storage area in which the first special view start reservation information stored earliest is stored. Then, after the main control CPU 60a acquires the random number associated with the first special view start reservation information, the second special view storage area in which the first special view start reservation information stored second earlier is stored is stored. (1) The special drawing start reservation information (random number) is stored in the first special drawing storage area. Similarly, the main control CPU 60a stores the first special view start reserve information (random number) of the third special view storage area in which the first special view start reserve information stored third earlier is stored. The first special drawing start reservation information (random number) of the fourth special drawing storage area in which the first special drawing start reservation information stored in the area and stored fourth fastest (that is, the newest) is stored in the third special It is stored in the figure storage area. That is, the first special view start suspension information is read out by the main control CPU 60a in the order stored in the main control RAM 60c. Further, the main control CPU 60a changes the display of the first special view hold display unit 52 so as to correspond to the hold number of the first special view start hold information after the subtraction.

  When various random numbers as first special view start reservation information are acquired by the process of the step B19, as shown in FIG. 9, the main control CPU 60a determines the acquired value of the judgment random number per special view in the main control ROM 60b. A determination is made (special lottery) per special drawing to determine whether or not it matches the determination value per special drawing stored (step B32). In addition, as described above, the probability that the determination result of the special figure determination is positive (ie, the probability per special figure) is set to 509/65536 in the non-probability variation state (in the case of low probability). The probability (probability per feature) at which the determination result is positive at time (time of high probability) is set to 510/65536. And, when the determination result of the special figure hitting determination in step B32 is affirmative (when the hit game occurs), the special figure hitting flag which shows that it is the fluctuation which becomes special figure hitting is set “1” (Step B33). Then, the main control CPU 60a determines a final stop symbol (special figure 1) to be a symbol per special figure to be displayed on the first special figure display unit 50A as a decision stop based on the acquired special figure determination random number for special figure determination Step B34). Here, since the symbol per special drawing of the special drawing 1 is associated with the value of the special drawing determination random number, the main control CPU 60a is specially associated with the value of the acquired special drawing determination random number. By determining FIG. 1, a special drawing per symbol will be determined. Then, when the symbol per special drawing (special drawing 1) is determined, the main control CPU 60a selects one special drawing out of the special drawing fluctuation patterns for special drawing based on the value of the special drawing fluctuation pattern determination random number. A variation pattern is determined (step B35).

  On the other hand, if the determination result of the special figure hit determination in step B32 is negative (if it is not the special figure hit), the main control CPU 60a determines whether to execute reach effect execution determination (reach determination ) (Step B37). In the embodiment, the main control CPU 60a performs the winning determination based on whether or not the value of the effect execution determination random number acquired from the main control RAM 60c at the time of the process of step B19 matches the effect execution determination value. Then, if the determination result in step B37 is affirmative (in the case of performing reach effect), the main control CPU 60a sets the final stop symbol (special symbol for the stop symbol displayed on the first special view display unit 50A) It determines as FIG. 1) (step B38). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for out-of-reach reach based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B39).

  Further, when the determination result of the effect execution determination in step B37 is negative (in the case where the reach effect is not performed), the main control CPU 60a is an out pattern that is displayed on the first special view display unit 50A as a fixed stop Is determined as the final stop symbol (special figure 1) (step B40). Next, the main control CPU 60a determines one special figure fluctuation pattern out of the special figure fluctuation patterns for outliers based on the value of the special figure fluctuation pattern determining random number (step B41).

  Here, the main control CPU 60a that has determined the special figure fluctuation pattern and the final stop symbol (special figure 1) in steps B35, B39, B41 sets a predetermined control command (step B36). Specifically, the main control CPU 60a designates the determined special figure fluctuation pattern and instructs the start of the symbol fluctuation and also designates the special figure 1 to be the final stop design. 1 Set the specified command. Then, the main control CPU 60a ends the special drawing start process.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step B17 is negative (if the number of reservations in the first special view start suspension information is 0), has the main control CPU 60a already output a demonstration designation command to start execution of the demonstration effect? It is determined whether the determination is negative (step B20), and if the determination result is negative, the demonstration designation command is output and the special view start process is ended (step B21). If the determination result in step B20 is affirmative (if the demonstration designation command has already been output), the main control CPU 60a ends the special view start process. Here, when the demonstration designation command is output, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to set a demonstration effect flag so that the effect control CPU 65a can determine whether or not the demonstration effect can be performed based on the demonstration effect flag. It has become. Note that the effect control CPU 65a is configured to execute the demonstration effect on the effect display device 17 in a predetermined cycle (for example, a 30-second cycle) in the executable period of the demonstration effect.

  Here, each control command set in the special view start process is output to the effect control board 65 by the main control CPU 60a in the command input / output process in the above-described normal process, and in the special view fluctuation pattern in the timer update process. Main control CPU 60a starts measurement of the identified fluctuation time, and at the same time, main control CPU 60a controls corresponding special view display portions 50A and 50B to start special view fluctuation display. Then, the main control CPU 60a instructs the fluctuation stop of the decoration drawing based on the fluctuation time defined in the designated special drawing fluctuation pattern, and effects control of all the symbol stop commands for displaying the symbol combination in the decision stop display Output to the substrate 65.

  Here, the main control CPU 60a, in the case of a special pattern per symbol (special pattern per symbol A, B, O) of the kind to which a special pattern per symbol special variation state is given, the probability change after the end of the hit in the flag setting process Set the probability change flag indicating the state to "1". The main control CPU 60a is configured to set the probability change flag to “0” in the flag setting process when the probability change state end condition is satisfied. In the embodiment, the termination condition of the probability change state is established by starting the game per the next special drawing, and the probability change flag is set to "0" at the timing when the main control CPU 60a starts the hit game. It is supposed to be. That is, the main control CPU 60a can specify the game state by referring to the probability change flag as the game state specification information.

  Further, in the case where the symbol per symbol is a symbol per symbol special symbol giving a variation state, the main control CPU 60a sets a variation flag to "1" in the flag setting process. The main control CPU 60a sets the variable short flag to “0” in the flag setting process when the variable short flag satisfies the end condition of the variable short state. That is, the main control CPU 60a can specify the game state by referring to the variable short flag as the game state specification information.

  The power supply substrate 200 is provided with a backup power supply 207 such as a capacitor, and when the main power supply of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off and the supply of power is stopped (the power supply from the external power supply Power is supplied from the backup power source 207 to the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a. The backup power supply 207 is configured so that power can be supplied over the time required for both control CPUs 60a and 65a to store (write) various information stored in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c in a backup area described later. It is done. Further, both control RAMs 60c, 65c are configured to be able to hold various information stored in the backup area even after the power supply is cut off.

(About the configuration related to power recovery processing)
The main control RAM 60c and the effect control RAM 65c are provided with a backup area in addition to a regular storage area used to temporarily store the various information while the pachinko machine 10 is in operation. In the backup area, when the power supply is interrupted due to a power failure or the like, the power supply is interrupted in order to restore the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state when the power supply is interrupted at the start of the power supply (at power recovery). It is an area for storing various information at the time. In the first embodiment, various information that can specify the gaming state such as random number (pending content), pending count, special drawing, common drawing, timer value, flag (certain change flag, variable short flag, big hit flag, common drawing flag) While the pachinko machine 10 is in operation, it is stored in the regular storage area, and when the power supply is interrupted, various information stored in the regular storage area is stored in the backup area. There is. Further, storage (writing) to the backup area is executed in the power-off process at the time of interruption of the power supply (at the time of input of the power-off signal), and reading of various information stored in the backup area ( Storage is performed in the power recovery process at the start of power supply (power recovery).

  In addition, a backup power supply 207 of the power supply substrate 200 is connected to the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a. Then, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a, while the monitoring power supply voltage is cut off (dropping to the threshold voltage), while the operation is guaranteed by the power supply voltage (for example, DC 5 V) supplied from the backup power supply 207, Various types of information stored in the regular storage area of the main control RAM 60c and the effect control RAM 65c are stored in the backup area, and various types of information can be stored and held even after the power supply from the power supply circuit 205 is shut off. That is, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 10 at the time of the interruption of the power supply, that is, whether or not the probability change state or the change state is granted, whether it is in the big hit game, whether it is in the common game per game, It is possible to back up various information such as the number of reservations. In the first embodiment, the main control RAM 60c and the effect control RAM 65c have a function as backup means for storing game information when power supply from the power supply circuit 205 is cut off and holding the game information even after the power supply is cut off. There is.

(About power off process)
Next, the power-off process performed by the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a when the power supply is shut off will be described.

  When the power-off signal from the power-off monitoring circuit 203 is input, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a execute power-off processing based on the power-off processing program among the control programs stored in the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c. Run. The power-off monitor circuit 203 outputs a power-off signal to the main control CPU 60a, the effect control CPU 65a, and the reset signal circuit 206 at the timing when the monitored power supply voltage drops to the threshold voltage. Thus, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a execute the power-off process before various components of the pachinko machine 10 become inoperable.

  In the power-off process, while power is supplied from the backup power supply 207 of the power supply substrate 200 to the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a, the control CPUs 60a and 65a store and store them in the common storage area of the corresponding control RAMs 60c and 65c. The various control information being stored is stored and held in the backup area of the control RAMs 60c and 65c. Next, each control CPU 60a, 65a prohibits the access to the corresponding control RAM 60c, 65c, and waits for the input of the reset signal from the reset signal circuit 206. And each control CPU60a and 65a will restrict | limit operation | movement of control CPU60a and 65a, if a reset signal is input. Then, after the power supply is cut off, various information stored in the backup area by the power-off process is stored and held as backup data.

(About the startup process at power on)
When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10 (power supply is started), the reset signal circuit 206 resets the main control CPU 60a, the effect control CPU 65a, and the display control CPU 70a until a predetermined restriction time elapses. Output the signal continuously. When the input of the reset signal once inputted is stopped, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a execute the start process (power recovery process) based on the start process program stored in the corresponding control ROM 60b, 65b. Thus, the reset signal from the power supply substrate 200 (reset signal circuit 206) functions as an activation instruction signal instructing the activation of the main control substrate 60 (main control CPU 60a) and the effect control substrate 65 (effect control CPU 65a). The reset signal circuit 206 of the substrate 200 functions as a start instruction means for outputting a start instruction signal (reset signal). That is, each of the main control CPU 60 a and the effect control CPU 65 a is configured to execute the activation process based on the input of the reset signal activation instruction signal from the reset signal circuit 206 of the power supply substrate 200. In addition, the effect control CPU 65a sets the start processing flag (for example, sets it to "1") when starting the start processing, and clears the start processing flag (for example, sets it to "0") when the start processing ends. ) Is configured. That is, by referring to the activation processing flag in the activation processing, it is possible to determine whether or not the activation processing is being executed.

  Also, in this start-up process, it is determined whether or not the clear switch 202 is operated, and in the case of negative, when the power supply is interrupted based on various control information stored in the corresponding control RAM 60c, 65c (previous Return to the state of). When it is determined in the start-up process that the clear switch 202 is operated, the various control information stored and held in the control RAMs 60c and 65c is erased (RAM clear). The effect control CPU 65a that has returned to the state before the interruption of the power supply outputs various control commands specifying the control information stored and managed by the effect control RAM 65c to the display control CPU 70a. Then, the display control CPU 70a controls the display content of the effect display device 17 based on the control command input from the effect control CPU 65a.

  Further, in the activation process executed by the effect control CPU 65a, an initial operation process of performing an initial operation check of each of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is performed. In this initial operation process, the effect control CPU 65a outputs an initial movable signal to the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable members 111 to 114, and the movable members 111 to 116 operate normally. It is configured to check whether or not (operational abnormality or not). Here, the initial movable signal is outputted to each corresponding drive motor M1 to M6 at a predetermined timing so that each movable body 111 to 116 performs an operation of moving from the original position to the movable position and returning from the movable position to the original position. Control signal (pulse signal). Then, when it is determined that the operation abnormality of any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal in the initial operation process of the activation process, the effect control CPU 65a executes the abnormal stop process described later, and the movable body in which the operation abnormality occurs. The drive based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable body including 111 to 116 is stopped.

(About control related to movement abnormality of movable body)
Next, a control configuration when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 when performing the movable effect, the operation abnormality occurs until the predetermined release condition described later is satisfied. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to perform abnormal stop processing for stopping (prohibiting) driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116. That is, when the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control signal to drive the drive motors M1 to M6 under a predetermined drive condition (movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3) so as to move the movable bodies 111 to 116, The effect control CPU 65a determines based on the detection signals of the position detection sensors SE1a to SE6 and SE1b to SE6b whether the movable bodies 111 to 116 are performing the matched operation, and the movable bodies 111 to 116 do not conform to the driving conditions. It is comprised so that it may determine with operation | movement abnormality of the movable bodies 111-116, when it has. Then, in the case of the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116, the effect control CPU 65a executes the abnormal stop processing, and the drive motor corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred until the release condition is satisfied. It is configured not to drive M1 to M6 based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3.

  In other words, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred until the predetermined release condition is satisfied. Therefore, the effect control CPU 65a stops outputting the drive signal based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. In the embodiment, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, the effect control CPU 65a sets the drive stop flag in a predetermined area of the effect control RAM 65c (for example, sets "1" or "2") When the drive stop flag is set, the effect control CPU 65a does not output the drive signal at the operation timing based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. Then, when the drive stop flag is not set (for example, "0"), the effect control CPU 65a can be configured to output a drive signal. That is, when driving the drive motors M1 to M6, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to refer to the drive stop flag, and the output of the drive signal to the drive motors M1 to M6 is allowed according to the setting state of the drive stop flag. It is decided whether or not to In the following description, a predetermined condition in which the effect control CPU 65a determines that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality may be referred to as an abnormality determination condition. That is, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the abnormality determination condition is satisfied, the abnormal stop process is performed.

  Here, in the embodiment, whether or not the movable body 111 to 116 has an operation abnormality is determined based on the determined movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 in the operation timing or the initial operation process of the start process. This is performed based on the detection states of the position detection sensors SE1a to SE6a and SE1b to SE6b when the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control signal to drive M6. In the embodiment, when the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control signal to move from the original position to the movable position, the original position detection sensors SE1a to SE6a corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 to be moved are not detected from the detection state It is set as the first abnormality determination condition that it does not switch to the state (that is, it does not move from the original position), and the effect control CPU 65a is configured to execute the abnormal stop process when the first abnormality determination condition is met. It is done. Also, when the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control signal that only the number of pulses necessary to move from the original position to the movable position is output, the movable position corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 to be moved It is set as the second abnormality determination condition that the detection sensors SE1 b to SE6 b do not switch from the non-detection state to the detection state (that is, do not move to the movable position), and effects are produced according to the establishment of the second abnormality determination condition. The control CPU 65a is configured to execute an abnormal stop process. When the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control signal to move from the movable position toward the original position, the movable position detection sensors SE1b to SE6b corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 to be moved change from the detection state to the non-detection state Not switching (that is, not moving from the movable position) is set as the third abnormality determination condition, and the effect control CPU 65a is configured to execute the abnormal stop process when the third abnormality determination condition is satisfied. There is. Furthermore, when the effect control CPU 65a outputs a control signal that only the number of pulses necessary to move from the movable position to the original position is output, the original position corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 to be moved It is set as the fourth abnormality determination condition that the detection sensors SE1a to SE6a do not switch from the non-detection state to the detection state (that is, do not move to the original position), and effects are produced according to the establishment of the fourth abnormality determination condition. The control CPU 65a is configured to execute an abnormal stop process.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal, a plurality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred in the abnormal stop processing. The drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 are configured to be stopped (prohibited). Specifically, when an operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 occurs, a drive motor corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 of the movable body groups GR1 to GR3 including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control to stop driving the M1 to M6. Thus, by stopping the driving of drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies of movable body groups GR1 to GR3 including movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred, movable body 111 on which the operation abnormality has occurred. It is possible to prevent the cause of the operation abnormality from being aggravated by the operation of ̃116, and to avoid the trouble caused by the operation abnormality of the movable body.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13B, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the first movable body 111 and the second movable body 112 included in the first movable body group GR1, The drive motors M1 and M2 corresponding to the first and second movable bodies 111 and 112 are stopped until the predetermined release condition is satisfied, and the second movable body group GR2 includes the second one. When an operation abnormality occurs in any of the third movable body 113 and the fourth movable body 114, the third and fourth movable bodies 113, 114 correspond to each other until a predetermined release condition is satisfied. The drive motors M3 and M4 are configured to stop driving. That is, when the operation abnormality occurs, all the drive motors M1 to M14 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the movable body groups GR1 and GR2 in which the movable bodies 111 to 114 in which the operation abnormality has occurred overlap the moving area. By stopping the driving of M4, the contact of the movable bodies 111 to 114 can be prevented even when the movable bodies 111 to 114 are stopped in a state where they are not positioned.

  In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13B, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in any of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, Not only movable bodies included in the corresponding groups GR1 and GR2 but also drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, respectively. Is configured to stop driving. Then, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the fifth movable body 115 and the sixth movable body 116 included in the third movable body group GR3, the fifth and sixth movable bodies are maintained until a predetermined release condition is satisfied. The drive motors M5 and M6 corresponding to the sixth movable bodies 115 and 116 are configured to stop driving. That is, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in any of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, the first operation is performed until the predetermined cancellation condition is satisfied. In the case where the movable effect is not performed by the interlocking rendering unit G1 and when the operation abnormality occurs in any of the fifth movable body 115 and the sixth movable body 116 included in the third movable body group G3, The movable effect by the second interlocking effect unit G2 is configured not to be performed until the predetermined release condition is satisfied.

  Here, in the embodiment, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in any of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, the effect control CPU 65a sets the drive stop flag. It is configured to be set to a first value (e.g., "1"). That is, when the drive stop flag is the first value, the effect control CPU 65a is included in the first and second movable object groups GR1 and GR2 at the operation timing based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. It is configured not to output a drive signal to the drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to each of 111 to 114. Similarly, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 115 to 116 included in any of the third movable body group GR3, the effect control CPU 65a sets the drive stop flag to the second value (for example, “2 ") Is configured to set. Thereby, when the drive stop flag is the second value, the effect control CPU 65a is included in the third movable body group GR3 of the fifth to sixth movable bodies 115 to 116 at the operation timing based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. The drive signals are not output to the corresponding drive motors M5 to M6.

  As described above, the first interlocking effect unit G1 that executes a predetermined movable effect by forming the specific form by moving the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114 to the movable positions is a part of the movable effects. When an operation abnormality occurs in the bodies 111 to 114, the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114 are stopped by stopping the movement of all the movable bodies 111 to 114 that constitute the first interlocking effect part G1. Thus, the unintended form is formed to prevent the occurrence of misalignment in the movable effect. In addition, the second interlocking effect part G2 that executes the movable effect that suggests the degree of expectation that the hit game will be generated by the order and the movable number of the movable objects that move among the fifth to sixth movable objects 115 to 116, When an operation abnormality occurs in some of the movable bodies 115 to 116, the movement effect that can not normally occur by stopping the movement of all the movable bodies 115 to 116 that constitute the second interlocking effect part G2 Is prevented on the outside.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, the third movable body group GR3 Is configured to allow driving of the drive motors MT5 to MT6 corresponding to the movable bodies 115 to 116 included in the above, and an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the third movable body group GR3. In this case, driving of the drive motors MT1 to MT6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2 is allowed. That is, when the drive stop flag has the first value, the fifth to sixth movable bodies 115 to 116 whose effect control CPU 65a is included in the third movable body group GR3 at the operation timing based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. It is permitted to output drive signals to the drive motors M5 to M6 corresponding to. Similarly, when the drive stop flag is the second value, the effect control CPU 65a is included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2 at the operation timing based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. It is configured to be permitted to output a drive signal to the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the fourth movable bodies 111 to 114, respectively.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10B, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, the movable effect patterns KP2 to KP3 If determined, drive motors M5 to MT6 corresponding to the fifth and sixth movable bodies 115 to 116 included in the third movable body group GR3 are driven by the effect control CPU 65a based on the movable effect patterns KP2 to KP3. Then, the movable effect is performed by the second interlocking effect unit G2. Similarly, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 115 to 116 included in the third movable body group GR3, the movable effect pattern KP1 is determined based on the movable effect pattern KP1. Drive motors M1 to MT4 corresponding to the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2 are driven by the effect control CPU 65a, and the movable effect by the first interlocking effect unit G1 Is supposed to be done. As described above, by enabling the movable effect to be performed even before the release condition is satisfied, it is prevented that the movable effect to be executed is extremely reduced and the interest of the game is impaired. Further, even under the situation where the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the drive motor under the drive condition (the drive timing defined in the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3) before determining that the operation is abnormal when the movable effect is performed. By driving M1 to M6, it is possible to perform a game effect without a sense of discomfort. In addition, the player can not easily notice that the operation abnormality has occurred by performing the normal movable effect in the other movable body group.

(About display effect and light emission effect)
Here, when the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 (that is, the movable display effect) in a state after determining that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 The effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the effect display device 17 so that the display effect is displayed under the same conditions (the contents defined in the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3) as before the occurrence of the event (FIG. 13 (b )reference). That is, by performing the same display effect even under the situation where it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, it is possible to prevent the loss of the interest of the game. Similarly, when the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 (that is, the movable light emission effect) in a state after determining that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 The light emission control board 72 controls the LEDs 121a to 126a to emit light under the same condition (the light emission mode determined by the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3) as before the generation of the light emission (see FIG. 13B). That is, by performing the same light emission effect even under the situation where it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, it is possible to prevent the interest of the game from being lost.

  Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment returns the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position before stopping the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. It is configured to drive corresponding drive motors M1 to M6. That is, when it is determined that the movable body 111 to 116 of any one of the movable bodies is abnormal, the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 where the abnormal operation has occurred to the original position. The effect control CPU 65a is configured to perform abnormal stop processing to stop the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 which drive the movable bodies 111 to 116 to return to the original position until the predetermined release condition is satisfied. That is, in the abnormal stop processing, the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 are returned to original positions for the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred overlap the moving areas. After executing the original position return process for driving the drive motor, the stop process for stopping (prohibiting) the drive of each of the drive motors M1 to M6 until the predetermined release condition is satisfied is set. As described above, when the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the movable bodies 111 to 116 are driven by driving the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 so as to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 where the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position. It is prevented from stopping at an unnatural position, and it is prevented that game effects other than movable effects such as display effects on the effect display device 17 are inhibited by the movable bodies 111 to 116.

  Here, when it is determined that the operation is abnormal, the drive motors M1 to M6 driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position are the same as the drive motors M1 to M6 whose operation is stopped due to the operation abnormality. It is comprised so that it may become movable body 111-116. That is, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in any of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2 Each of the drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to each of the included first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114 is driven to return each of the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114, and a third movable When an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 115 to 116 included in the body group GR3, the drive corresponding to each of the fifth to sixth movable bodies 115 to 116 included in the third movable body group GR3. Each of the motors M5 to M6 is driven to return each of the fifth to sixth movable bodies 115 to 116. That is, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, not only the movable bodies 111 to 116 having the operation abnormality generated but also the movable body groups GR1 to GR3 including the movable bodies 111 to 116 having the operation abnormality generated. The corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are driven to return the first to sixth movable bodies 111 to 116 to original positions in units of (more accurately, units of the interlocking effect units G1 and G2). There is.

  Further, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred are driven in the return operation order. As described above, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to control the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred in a predetermined return operation sequence There is. Note that the return operation order in the case of the operation abnormality is the order defined for each of the movable body groups GR1, GR2, GR3 as described above (see FIG. 10A).

  That is, by driving the drive motors M1 to M4 in the recovery operation sequence to the operation abnormality, the movable bodies 111 and 112 and the second movable body group GR2 included in the first movable body group GR1 which may contact each other Each of the contained movable bodies 113 and 114 can be operated at timing when the movable bodies do not come in contact with each other, as in the normal operation state where there is no abnormal operation. In addition, when the movable bodies 111 to 114 of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and G2 are returned to the original position due to the operation abnormality, the movable bodies 112 and 114 for the return order 1 are the same as in the normal operation state. Drives the next drive motor M1, M3 defined in the return operation order to return the movable body 111, 113 of return order 2 to the original position after stopping the drive motors M2, M4 driven to return the original position to the original position. The following configuration can be adopted (see FIG. 12A). Thus, in the process of returning the movable bodies 111 to 114 to the original position in response to the operation abnormality, it is possible to prevent contact between the movable bodies which may contact each other. Similarly, when the movable bodies 111 to 114 of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and G2 are returned to the original positions in response to an operation abnormality, the drive motor causes the movable bodies 112 and 114 of return order 1 to return to the original positions. After driving M2 and M4 and while driving the drive motors M2 and M4, the next drive determined in the return operation order to return the movable body 111 or 113 of return order 2 to the original position A configuration can be adopted in which driving of the motors M1 and M3 is started (see FIG. 12B). In this case, the movable bodies 111 to 114 can be quickly retracted to the original position while preventing contact between the movable bodies returning to the original position due to the operation abnormality, and other game effects such as display effects are inhibited. It can prevent you from

  In addition, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, the driving amount (normal driving amount) required to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 from the movable position to the original position in the normal operation state not abnormal The effect control CPU 65a is configured to drive the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 with the set original position return drive amount. The normal drive amount and the original position return drive amount are values set for each of the movable bodies 111 to 116, and when it is determined that the operation is abnormal, the movable bodies 111 to 116 are returned from the movable position to the original position. The corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are driven by the normal drive amount according to each movable body 111 to 116, and when it is determined that the operation is abnormal, each movable body 111 to 116 is returned from the movable position to the original position. The corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are driven by the original position return drive amount according to the movable bodies 111 to 116. The normal drive amount is set to coincide with the drive amount of the drive motors M1 to M6 required when moving the movable bodies 111 to 116 from the original position to the movable position in the normal operation state. That is, in the normal operation state, the drive motors M1 to M6 of the movable bodies 111 to 116 at the original position are driven by the normal drive amount, whereby the movable bodies 111 to 116 move to the movable positions and the movable positions at the movable positions By driving the drive motors M1 to M6 of the bodies 111 to 116 with a normal drive amount, the movable bodies 111 to 116 are returned to the original position.

  For example, when the first drive motor M1 corresponding to the first movable body 111 at the movable position is returned to the original position in the normal operation state and is set to drive the normal driving amount for 200 steps, the operation abnormality The driving amount (for example, 250 steps) of 200 steps or more is set as the original position return driving amount for returning the first movable body 111 from the movable position to the original position. The second movable body 112 located at the movable position in the normal operation state is When the second drive motor M2 corresponding to the return to the position is set to be driven by the normal drive amount for 300 steps, the original movable position return from the movable position to the original position returns the second movable body 112 to the operation abnormality. A drive amount (for example, 380 steps) of 300 steps or more is set as the drive amount. Similarly, with respect to the third to sixth movable bodies 113 to 116, the original position return drive amount for returning the third to sixth movable bodies 113 to 116 from the movable position to the original position abnormally is movable in the normal operation state. It is set to be equal to or more than the normal drive amount of the drive motors M3 to M6 required to return the corresponding third to sixth movable bodies 113 to 116 in the position to the original position.

  Then, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, the effect control CPU 65a responds to drive by the original position return drive amount (the number of steps) set according to the movable bodies 111 to 116 to return to the original position. Control signals are output to the drive motors M1 to M6 to control the drive of the drive motors M1 to M6. That is, in the embodiment, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are operated with the original position return drive amount regardless of the positions of the movable bodies 111 to 116 at the determination time point. The effect control CPU 65a controls the movable bodies 111 to 116 to return to the original position. In this manner, by driving the drive motors M1 to M6 with the original position return driving amount equal to or more than the normal driving amount required to move the movable bodies 111 to 116 from the movable position to the original position It is easy to return the body 111-116 to the original position. Here, the difference between the normal drive amount in the normal operation state and the original position return drive amount in the operation abnormal state can be appropriately determined according to the value of the normal drive amount, and the normal drive amount is set large. It is preferable that the movable bodies 111 to 116 be set so that the difference with the original position return drive amount becomes larger.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the abnormal stop process is performed regardless of the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 10. That is, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the display effect based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is being performed by the effect display device 17, the display effect is performed. The corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are controlled to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original positions in the middle. Similarly, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the light emission effects based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 are being performed by the LEDs 121a to 126a, the light emission effects are performed. The corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are controlled to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original positions in the middle. As described above, by executing the abnormal stop process regardless of the progress state of the game effect, the movable body including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred can be promptly returned to the original position. It is made for -116 not to become an obstruction of game production (display production and luminescence production).

  Moreover, when it determines with operation | movement abnormality of the movable bodies 111-116, it is also possible to comprise so that abnormal stop processing may be performed, after the game presentation performed with the pachinko machine 10 is complete | finished. In this case, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the display effect based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is being performed by the effect display device 17, the movable effect After the display effect based on the patterns KP1 to KP3 is finished (that is, after the symbol variation effect is finished), the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 where the operation abnormality occurred to the original position. Is controlled to Similarly, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the light emission effects based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 are being performed by the LEDs 121a to 126a, the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP1 After the light emission effect based on KP3 is finished (that is, after the end of the symbol change effect), the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 are driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 where the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position. It is controlled. As described above, when the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 occurs while the game effect involving the movable effect is being performed, after the game effect (display effect or light emission effect) is ended By returning the body to the original position, it is possible to eliminate the unnaturalness in which the movable bodies 111 to 116 return to the original position in the middle of the game effect.

(About cancellation condition)
Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when the operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 when performing the movable effect, from the occurrence of the operation abnormality (determination of the operation abnormality by the effect control CPU 65a) The effect control CPU 65a can release the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6 when a predetermined drive stop time has elapsed. As described above, in the embodiment, the predetermined drive stop time elapses from the occurrence of the operation abnormality (determination of the operation abnormality by the effect control CPU 65a) is set as the release condition for canceling the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6. It is done. That is, as in the case where an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 due to the occurrence of the step out of the drive motors M1 to M6 due to the vibration or the like with respect to the pachinko machine 10, a certain time elapses. The cause of abnormal operation may be eliminated. In such a case, the drive stop time of the drive motors M1 to M6 is canceled by the drive stop time of the drive motors M1 to M6 being canceled when the drive stop time elapses from the occurrence of the operation abnormality. There is an advantage that the movable effect based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 can be resumed early.

  Specifically, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the effect control board 65 is provided with the timer means 66 for measuring the drive stop time, and when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal. The timer means 66 is configured to start measurement of the drive stop time. The timer unit 66 measures the drive stop time, and the effect control CPU 65a is configured to clear the drive stop flag (set to “0”), and the operation defined in the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. The effect control CPU 65a can be controlled to drive the drive motors M1 to M6 at timings. Here, the drive stop time can be set arbitrarily, but in the embodiment, the timer unit 66 is configured to measure 5 minutes as the drive stop time. When driving the drive motors M1 to M6 based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3, if the effect control CPU 65a determines that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, as described above, the cancellation condition is next set. The effect control CPU 65a controls the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality occurs until the establishment of It is configured to

  In addition, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the effect control board 65 is provided with a cumulative counter 67 that counts the number of times that the effect control CPU 65 a determines that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality. The accumulation counter 67 is configured such that the count value is increased each time the effect control CPU 65a determines that the movable body 111 has an operation abnormality, and the count value of the accumulation counter 67 reaches a predetermined threshold value. Is configured such that the effect control CPU 65a does not cancel the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6 when the timer means 66 measures the drive stop time. That is, the effect control CPU 65a is configured not to clear the drive stop flag (set to “0”) (maintain the flag to “1”), and drive at the operation timing defined in the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. The motors M1 to M6 are not driven. In the embodiment, the threshold value is set to three times, and after the effect control CPU 65a determines twice as the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116, the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6 is stopped by the elapse of the drive stop time. It is configured not to be released. That is, when the number of times the effect control CPU 65a determines that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality exceeds the predetermined number, it is determined that the cause of the operation abnormality is not eliminated by the passage of a predetermined time. Thus, the driving stop of the drive motors M1 to M6 is maintained.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, when operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 at the time of performing the movable effect, the reset signal instructing execution of the activation process is the effect control board 65 (effect By being input to the control CPU 65a), the effect control CPU 65a can cancel the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6. As described above, the input of the reset signal instructing to execute the start processing is set as the release condition for releasing the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6. That is, as in the case where the cause of the operation abnormality in any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is noise or the like, the operation abnormality is generated by executing the activation process of the pachinko machine 10 (effect control board 65) The cause may be resolved. In such a case, the reset signal instructing execution of the start process is input and the start process of the effect control board 65 is executed to cancel the drive stop of the drive motors M1 to M6, thereby the drive motors M1 to M6. There is an advantage that the movable effect based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 by the movable bodies 111 to 116 of M6 whose driving is stopped can be resumed.

  Specifically, in the start process of the effect control board 65 executed when the reset signal is input from the power supply board 200 to the effect control board 65 in response to the power-on (at the time of RAM clear or power recovery) of the pachinko machine 10, The effect control CPU 65 a is configured to clear the drive stop flag (set to “0”), and to control the drive motors M 1 to M 6 at the operation timing defined in the movable effect patterns KP 1 to KP 3. Are configured to be controllable. In addition, in the start process of the effect control board 65, the count value of the cumulative counter 67 is cleared. In the start process of the effect control board 65, clearing of the drive stop flag is configured to be performed before the initial operation process is performed, and in the initial operation process, the effect control CPU 65a is configured to drive the drive motors M1 to M6. Are configured to output an initial movable signal for driving the

(About notification of abnormal operation)
Further, the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment is configured such that the effect control CPU 65a operates the informing means to notify the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal. . Here, as the notification means, the effect display device 17, the speaker 150, the light emission effect device 152, etc. can be adopted. For example, when the effect display device 17 is used as the notification means, the effect control CPU 65a controls the edge portion of the display unit 17a of the effect display device 17 to display a notification such as "abnormal operation of the movable body". The occurrence of the operation abnormality can be notified by the effect display device 17. In addition, when using the speaker 150 as the notification means, the effect control CPU 65a controls to output an audio such as "operational abnormality of the movable body" from the speaker 150 or to emit an alarm sound that is not output in a normal game effect. By doing this, the occurrence of an operation abnormality can be reported by the speaker 150. Furthermore, when using the light emission effect device 152 as the notification means, the effect control CPU 65a controls the light emission body such as the LED of the light emission effect device 152 to emit light in a light emission mode different from the normal game effect, The occurrence of an operation abnormality can be reported by the light emitting effect device 152. Here, all of the effect display device 17, the speaker 150, and the light emission effect device 152 may be used as the notification means, or any one or two may be used as the notification means. Moreover, the notification aspect by each notification means is an example, It is natural that it can set arbitrarily if it is a form which can alert | report generation | occurrence | production of operation abnormality.

  In the embodiment, the light emission effect device 152 provided in the front frame 13 is adopted as the notification means, and when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal, the effect control CPU 65a emits a specific light It emits light in an aspect. Specifically, all the light-emitting bodies of the light-emitting effect device 152 of the front frame 13 are configured to emit light (turn on) in a specific light-emission color (for example, red) to notify occurrence of operation abnormality.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the light emitting effect device 152 as the notification means is operated according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a in the abnormal operation processing. Specifically, when the condition determined by the effect control CPU 65a is in the process of activating the effect control substrate 65, a predetermined light emission mode (notification mode) is triggered by the determination that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation. The effect control CPU 65a controls the light emission effect device 152 to operate. That is, most of the cases where the activation control process of the effect control board 65 is performed are performed by turning on the power to the pachinko machine 10 before the start of the operation of the game arcade, so when it is determined that operation is abnormal in the activation process. Then, an appropriate action is urged to notify the operation abnormality so that an appropriate movable effect is performed. Here, the effect control CPU 65a can determine whether or not the start process of the effect control board 65 is being executed based on the start process flag set at the start of the start process. That is, when the activation processing flag is set in the abnormal stop processing when the operation abnormality occurs in the activation processing (initial operation processing) of the effect control board 65, the effect control CPU 65a operates the light emission effect device 152 to operate It is configured to notify an abnormality.

  Further, in the embodiment, when the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a is a game-enabled state after the start process (when the start process is not being executed), the light emitting effect device 152 is not notified. There is. That is, in the abnormal stop process when an operation abnormality occurs other than the start process (initial operation process) of the effect control board 65, the effect control CPU 65a is configured not to notify the operation abnormality by operating the light emission effect device 152. . As described above, after the pachinko machine 10 is in the game-ready state, the notification by the light emission effect device 152 is not performed, and thus the light emission effect device 152 emits light for game effects other than the movable effect (display effect or light emission effect ) To prevent it from being interfered with, so that it can be used for games.

  Here, when the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a is a game-enabled state after the activation process where the activation process flag is cleared (when the activation process is not being executed), notification by the light emission effect device 152 is executed It is also possible to configure as possible. For example, as a state in which the effect control CPU 65a determines, the light emitting effect device 152 is operated based on whether or not the game state in which the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is high. It can be configured as Here, the game control state can be determined by the effect control CPU 65a based on the above-mentioned probability change information flag or variation information flag.

  Specifically, when the gaming state is a normal state (a gaming state in which neither a definite change state nor a variation state is given), the proportion at which the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 and the non-normal state (probable change) In the case of a state or a variation state), one of the moving effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is set at a rate determined by the effect control CPU 65a (or one is set so that the moving effect patterns KP1 to KP3 are not determined) When the game control state is high in which the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3, the notification means 17, 150, 152 are operated to notify of an operation abnormality. That is, in the case of a gaming state in which the proportion at which the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is high, the abnormal operation is notified by the light emitting effect device 152, prompting the user to eliminate the abnormal operation early. It is possible to resume the execution of the effect. In addition, in the case of a gaming state in which the proportion at which the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is low (or not determined), it is difficult to perform the movable effect (or not performed). By not notifying the abnormality, it is possible to prevent inhibition of the game effect. In addition, in the gaming state where the proportion for which the effect control CPU 65a determines the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 is low, the light emission effect device 152 can be operated to notify of an operation abnormality.

  Furthermore, as the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a, the notification means 17, 150, 152 can be operated on the basis of whether or not it is an executable period of the demonstration effect. Here, based on the demonstration effect flag described above, the effect control CPU 65a can determine whether or not the demonstration effect is executable. In this case, the game effect can be provided by operating the notification means 17, 150, 152 to notify the operation abnormality only in the case where the demonstration effect is executable (when the demonstration effect flag is set). Abnormal operation can be reported without inhibiting the

(About abnormal stop processing)
Next, an example of the above-mentioned abnormal stop processing executed by the effect control CPU 65a will be described. As shown in FIG. 14, in the abnormal stop processing, the effect control CPU 65a determines whether or not any of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal in operation (step C11). If no abnormal operation has occurred, the abnormal stop is performed. End the process. If it is determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, the effect control CPU 65a executes an original position return process (step C12). In this original position return process, the effect control CPU 65a controls the control signal to drive the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 so as to return the movable body of the combination according to the movable bodies 111 to 116 where the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position. Output. Then, when the original position return processing is executed, the drive motors M1 to M6 which are driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position are stopped (prohibited) until the predetermined release condition is satisfied. The process is executed (step C13).

  In this stop process, the effect control CPU 65a sets a drive stop flag for each of the movable body groups GR1 to GR3 corresponding to the drive motors M1 to M6 which drive the movable bodies 111 to 116 to return to the original position. There is. That is, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 114 included in any of the first and second movable body groups GR1 and GR2, the effect control CPU 65a sets the drive stop flag to the first value. When the operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 115 to 116 set to (for example, “1”) and included in any of the third movable body group GR3, the effect control CPU 65a sets the drive stop flag It is set to a value of 2 (e.g. "2"). Thereby, when executing movable presentation based on the movable presentation patterns KP1 to KP3, the presentation control CPU 65a may identify the drive motors M1 to M6 which need to stop (prohibit) the driving based on the drive stop flag. it can. Then, while the driving stop flag is set, the effect control CPU 65a stops (does not output) the output of the control signal for the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 included in the movable body groups GR1 to GR3. Thus, the state in which the drive of the drive motors M1 to M6 is stopped is maintained.

  Here, in the stopping process, the drive motor M1 corresponding to each movable body 111 to 114 is returned to the original position so that all the movable bodies 111 to 114 in which moving areas overlap with the movable bodies 111 to 114 in which the operation abnormality occurs. It can be set to be executed after the original position return processing for driving ~ M4 is executed. As described above, by restricting the driving of the corresponding drive motors M1 to M4 after the original position return processing for returning to the original position for all movable bodies in which the movable bodies 111 to 114 in which the operation abnormality has occurred overlap the moving area. The movable bodies 111 to 114 can be prevented from coming into contact with each other when returning to the original position. Further, the abnormal stop processing can be set to be executed in the return operation order. That is, when the operation abnormality occurs, the abnormal stop processing (original position return processing and stop processing) may be executed for each of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 to return to the original position. As described above, the processing for inhibiting the driving of the drive means after returning the movable bodies 111 to 114 to the original position is performed in the return operation order, thereby preventing the movable bodies from coming into contact with each other when returning to the original position. be able to.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, when the stop process is executed, the notification process regarding the notification of the operation abnormality by the notification means (the light emission effect apparatus 152) is executed (steps C14 and C15). In this notification process, when the effect control CPU 65a determines whether a predetermined notification condition (in the embodiment, the state in which the start processing flag is set) is satisfied, and the notification condition is satisfied (activation While the process is being executed), the effect control CPU 65a operates the informing means (light emitting effect device 152) to notify the operation abnormality, while the informing condition is not satisfied (except when the start process is being executed) The effect control CPU 65a ends the abnormal stop processing without operating the notification means (light emission effect device 152).

  As described above, the main control CPU 60a and the effect control CPU 65a perform various control processes by executing control processing based on the control program. That is, winning information acquisition means for acquiring winning information triggered by winning on the starting parts 31, 131, 132 (triggered by establishment of the starting condition accompanied by detection of any starting detecting means) triggers acquisition of the starting condition As a hit judging means to judge whether or not hit (whether to hit the game), if the judgment result of the hit judging means is positive, a hit to decide the hit game to be awarded from among a plurality of hit games The main control CPU 60a has respective functions as game determination means.

  Furthermore, the main control CPU 60a is triggered by the hit determination becoming the determination result of the hit, and the second bonus game state in which the game ball can easily enter the second starting portion (as an easy-to-enter state) It functions as a second bonus game state determination means (entering easy state determination means) that determines whether or not to give a variation state). And when it grants the ball entry easy state, while functioning as a grant period determination means which determines the period which grants the ball entry easy state, grant of the 2nd bonus game state (variable short state as the ball entry easy state) It also functions as a second bonus game state giving means (a light entering easy state giving means) which is triggered by the establishment of the condition and gives a variable state after the end of the game. Then, the main control CPU 60a functions as a game state determination unit that specifies a game state by referring to predetermined game state specification information. In addition, as gaming state specification information, information specifying the giving status of the probability change state, and information specifying the giving status of the variation state can be set, and a plurality of game states can be specified by a combination of the specification information is there. That is, the main control CPU 60a of the embodiment functions as an assigned benefit determining unit that determines an assigned benefit including a hit game triggered by the hit determining unit becoming a determination result of the hit.

  Further, the main control CPU 60a of the embodiment functions as an open judging means for permitting an opening operation in response to the pachinko ball flowing down the gaming area 21 entering a predetermined ball entrance (gate 45). The opening / closing members 38 and 136 are configured to be openable when the opening determination means determines that the opening determination means permits the opening operation, and the second start port 36 can be made to be able to win a prize.

  In addition, the main control RAM 60c is obtained for each ball entering information obtained for each ball entering with the game ball into the first starting portion as a trigger and for entering the game ball to the second starting portion as a trigger. It functions as storage means capable of individually storing a plurality of pieces of information individually as start pending information.

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

  The pachinko ball hit into the gaming area 21 (first ball flow area 21a) of the gaming board 20 is played by the player in the game mode in the left-handed game mode by the operation of the operation handle 16 by the player. The determination is made on the basis of the first start reservation information acquired triggered by winning in the first start opening 32 (the establishment of the first start condition) as a trigger. In addition, the pachinko ball shot into the game area 21 (the second ball flow area 21b) of the game board 20 wins the second start opening 36 of the second start portion 35 (the establishment of the second start condition). The special drawing is determined based on the second start suspension information acquired as a trigger, and the effect control CPU 65a determines the effect pattern according to the special figure fluctuation pattern determined according to the result of the special drawing determination. Effects based on the determined effect pattern (pattern variation effects in the effect display device 17, movable effects by the movable bodies 111 to 116, light emission effects by the LEDs 121a to 126a and the light emission effect device 152, sound effects from the speaker 150, etc. ) Is done. Then, with the determination that the per-special-character determination becomes the determination result per-special-character, the main control CPU 60a determines any of the per-special symbol symbols according to the established start condition, and the symbol fluctuation effect (special symbol fluctuation display After the game is performed, special kinds of benefits (per game, probability change state or change state after hit game) according to the symbol per special figure are given.

  As described above, in a state where the effect control CPU 65a does not determine that the movable bodies 111 to 116 have an operation abnormality, when the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 specifying the movable display effect and the movable light emission effect are determined as the effect pattern, By driving the drive motors M1 to M6 based on the control of the effect control CPU 65a, movable effects by the movable bodies 111 to 116 are performed, and display effects are performed by the effect display device 17, and further, control of the light emission control board 72 The light-emitting effects by the LEDs 121a to 126a are performed based on the above. That is, in a state where it is not determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, the effect control CPU 65a outputs a drive signal to operate the drive motors M1 to M6 at the operation timing determined for the determined movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. Then, the effect control CPU 65a outputs the effect control signal to the display control board 72 so that the effect display device 17 displays the content of the display effect determined in the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 and the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3. The effect control CPU 65 a outputs a light emission control signal to the light emission control board 72 so that the LEDs 121 a to 126 a emit light in the light emission mode defined in the above. As described above, in the state where it is not determined that the movable bodies 111 to 116 are abnormal in operation, the display effect on the effect display device 17, the movable effect of the movable bodies 111 to 116 and the light emission effect by the LEDs 121a to 126a are combined. A variety of game effects can be made.

  Here, when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal, the effect control CPU 65a executes the abnormal stop process, and the operation abnormality is performed until the predetermined release condition is satisfied. The effect control CPU 65a controls the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the generated movable bodies 111 to 116 to stop. That is, in the embodiment, the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred are united to the movable body groups GR1 to GR3 (more accurately, the interlocking effect units G1 and G2 are As the driving is stopped, it is possible to prevent the cause of the operation abnormality from being aggravated by the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116, and to avoid the trouble caused by the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116. Further, until the release condition is satisfied, the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 other than the movable bodies 111 to 116 where the operation abnormality has occurred stops the other movable bodies 111 to It is possible to prevent the operation abnormality from expanding to 116.

  As described above, before occurrence of the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116, the game is a combination of the movable effect on the movable bodies 111 to 116, the display effect on the effect display device 17, and the light emission effect on the LEDs 121a to 126a. By the effect being performed based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game. In addition, after occurrence of operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116, display effects and light emission effects are performed based on the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 under the same conditions as before the occurrence of operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116. After the occurrence of the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 while preventing the loss of interest in the game, the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred The operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is stopped by stopping the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred by not driving at the operation timing defined in the movable effect pattern. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cause of the operation abnormality from becoming worse, and to avoid the failure caused by the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116.

  In addition, the movable bodies 111 to 112 included in the first movable body group GR1 overlap in the movement region when moving back to the original position, and the movable bodies 113 to 114 similarly included in the second movable body group GR2 Has overlapping moving areas when moving back to the original position. Then, when an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 111 to 112 included in the first movable body group GR1, the drive motors M1 to M12 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 112 included in the first movable body group GR1. All driving of M2 is stopped. The same applies to the case where an operation abnormality occurs in any of the movable bodies 113 to 114 included in the second movable body group GR2. That is, when the operation abnormality occurs, all the drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 114 for each movable body group GR1 to GR2 in which the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred overlap the moving area By stopping the driving, the contact of the movable bodies 111 to 114 can be reliably prevented.

  The movable bodies 111 to 114 included in the first movable body group GR1 and the second movable body group G2 constitute the first interlocking effect part G1, and the movable bodies interlocked by the four movable bodies 111 to 114. A presentation is performed. Similarly, the movable bodies 115 to 116 included in the third movable body group G3 constitute the second interlocking effect part G2, and the movable effects interlocked by the two movable bodies 115 to 116 are performed. That is, when an operation abnormality occurs, movable members included in movable object groups GR1 to GR3 (more precisely, for each of interlocking effect units G1 and G2) perform movable effects interlockingly with movable members 111 to 116 where the operation abnormality occurs. By stopping the driving of all the drive motors M1 to M6 in units of the bodies 111 to 116, a plurality of movable bodies 111 to 116 (the first interlocking rendering unit G1 and the second interlocking rendering unit G2) are used. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of inconsistencies in the movable effect or the external effect of the movable effect which can not normally occur, and to prevent the loss of interest in the game.

  At this time, movable body groups GR1 to GR3 different from the movable body groups GR1 to GR3 including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred (more precisely, movable bodies having other interlocking effect parts G1 and G2 as a unit The drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 included in the groups GR1 to GR3) are driven based on predetermined drive conditions (the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3), whereby the release condition is Since a certain movable effect can be performed even before establishment, it is possible to prevent the loss of the interest of the game. That is, even under the situation where the movable effects by the movable bodies 111 to 114 of the first interlocking effect part G1 are stopped, the movable effects by the movable bodies 115 to 116 of the second interlocking effect part G2 are permitted, and the second interlocked Even under the situation where the movable effect by the movable bodies 115 to 116 of the effect unit G2 is stopped, the movable effect by the movable bodies 111 to 114 of the first interlocking effect unit G1 is allowed, so that the amusement of the game can be enjoyed by the movable effect. It can be enhanced. As described above, movable objects 111 to 116 included in movable object groups GR1 to GR3 (interlocking effect units G1 and G2) different from movable object groups GR1 to GR3 (interlocking effect units G1 and G2) determined to have operation abnormality. By driving the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the drive conditions under the drive condition before determining that the operation is abnormal, it is possible to perform the game effect with less discomfort even under the situation where the operation abnormality occurs. Further, by performing the movable effect as usual in the other movable body groups GR1 to GR3 (the interlocking effect units G1 and G2), it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice that the operation abnormality has occurred.

  Further, in the abnormal stop processing executed by occurrence of operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116, the movable including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred before the stop processing for stopping the drive motors M1 to M6. An original position return process is performed to drive the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 so as to return the body to the original position. Thus, the movable bodies 111 to 116 are stopped at unnatural positions by driving the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 to return the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position. It is possible to prevent the game effects other than the movement of the movable bodies 111 to 116 from being blocked by the movable bodies 111 to 116. At this time, drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred are united with the movable body groups GR1 to GR3 (more accurately, units for the interlocking effect parts G1 and G2) By driving the movable bodies 111 to 116 to return to the original position, it is possible to prevent part of the movable bodies 111 to 116 that perform interlocked movable effects from stopping at an unnatural position.

  Here, when the movable bodies 111 to 116 are returned to the original positions in accordance with the operation abnormality, in the return operation sequence after the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 which has started driving to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original positions. By starting driving of the determined next drive motors M1 to M6, contact between the movable bodies 111 to 116 can be more effectively prevented. On the other hand, when the movable bodies 111 to 116 are returned to the original positions in response to an operation abnormality, in the middle of the driving of the drive motors M1 to M6 which has started driving to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original positions Returning each movable body 111 to 116 to the original position in a short time while effectively preventing contact between the movable bodies 111 to 116 by starting driving of the determined next drive motors M1 to M6. It becomes possible.

  In addition, when the movable bodies 111 to 116 are returned to the original position due to the operation abnormality, the original position return drive set to the normal drive amount or more required to move the movable bodies 111 to 116 from the movable position to the original position. By driving the drive motors M1 to M6 by the amount, the movable bodies 111 to 116 can be returned to the original positions regardless of the positions of the movable bodies 111 to 116 at the time when the operation abnormality occurs. Further, by determining the original position return drive amount of the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to each movable body 111 to 116, the original position return drive amount of each drive motor M1 to M6 is set for each movable body 111 to 116 corresponding thereto. Since optimization can be performed, it becomes possible to drive the corresponding drive motors M1 to M6 with a drive amount suitable for returning the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position in response to an operation abnormality. That is, it is not necessary to drive the drive motor for the movable body which can return from the movable position to the original position with a small amount of drive more than necessary, and problems such as heating of the motor can be prevented.

  By the way, when the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred are randomly driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original positions, they are returned to the original positions. When the movable bodies 111 to 116, which may contact each other, come into contact with each other, there may occur a situation where they can not be returned to a predetermined original position. Here, as in the example, by driving the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality occurs, the movable bodies 111 to 116 Contact can be effectively prevented. That is, in the return operation order determined for each movable body group GR1 to GR3, contact between the movable bodies 111 to 116 can be effectively prevented, and for each movable body group GR1 to GR3, the operation is not abnormal normally By setting the drive motors M1 to M6 to be driven in the same return operation order as in the operation state, the storage capacity of the effect control ROM 65b is not unnecessarily compressed, and data, programs, etc. necessary for executing the game effect A storage area can be secured.

  In addition, when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the display effect is performed by the effect display device 17, the drive motor is configured to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position during the display effect. By configuring M1 to M6 to be driven, it is possible to quickly return the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the display effect is performed by the effect display device 17, the drive motor is configured to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position after the display effect is finished. By configuring M1 to M6 to be driven, it is possible to prevent the movable bodies 111 to 116 from operating unnaturally in the middle of the display effect.

  Similarly, when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the light emission effect is performed by the LEDs 121a to 126a, the drive motor is configured to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position during the light emission effect. By configuring M1 to M6 to be driven, it is possible to quickly return the movable bodies 111 to 116 in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal while the light emission effects are performed by the LEDs 121a to 126a, the drive motor M1 returns the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original position after the light emission effects are finished. By configuring to drive ~ M6, it becomes possible to prevent the movable bodies 111 to 116 from operating unnaturally in the middle of the light emission effect.

  Further, the abnormal stop processing is performed according to the condition determined by the effect control CPU 65a when it is determined that the operation of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is abnormal, thereby preventing the cause of the operation abnormality from being aggravated and movable. It is possible to avoid a defect caused by the abnormal operation of the bodies 111 to 116. In addition, when the operation abnormality occurs, the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 is notified to the operator of the game shop by operating the light emitting effect device 152 as an informing means according to the condition determined by the effect control CPU 65a. can do. Here, by configuring the light emitting effect device 152 to notify when an operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 occurs at the time of executing the start processing of the effect control board 65, the worker can promptly generate the movable bodies 111 to 116. It is possible to recognize an abnormal operation and appropriately cope with it. On the other hand, by configuring the light emission effect device 152 not to notify when the activation process of the gaming machine is performed and the game is possible, the progress of the game is hindered by the notification by the light emission effect device 152 Can be prevented.

(Another example 1)
Next, the configuration of a pachinko machine according to another embodiment 1 will be described. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the pachinko machine 10 according to the above-described embodiment, only different parts will be described.

  In the embodiment described above, the normal drive amount and the original position return drive amount of the drive motors M1 to M6 for moving the movable bodies 111 to 116 from the original position toward the movable position are set in advance for each movable body 111 to 116. In the alternative embodiment 1, the normal drive amount and the original position of the drive motors M1 to M6 for moving the movable bodies 111 to 116 from the original position toward the movable position according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a. The return drive amount is set to be different. In this case, each original position return drive amount is set to be equal to or more than the normal drive amount according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a.

Here, as the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a, as described above, it is determined whether or not the start process of the effect control board 65 is being executed, the gaming state is determined, or the demonstration effect is executable it is mentioned that to determine during is set so as to vary the normal driving amount and the original position return drive amount for each of these cases. For example, in a state where the effect control CPU 65a determines the normal drive amount (first normal drive amount) when the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a is executing the start process of the effect control board 65, the state is a state other than the start process. By setting the driving amount larger than the normal driving amount (the second normal driving amount) in a certain case, it is confirmed whether or not the movable bodies 111 to 116 are sufficiently operated in the initial operation check of the initial operation processing and there is no operation abnormality. Can. In this case, the original position return drive amount (first original position return drive amount) when the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a is executing the start processing of the effect control board 65 is equal to or more than the first normal drive amount. The original position return drive amount (second original position return drive amount) which is set and the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a is a state other than the start processing is set to be equal to or more than the second normal drive amount. In addition, as a state which production control CPU65a discriminate | determines, it is not restricted to what was mentioned above.

  When it is determined that the operation is abnormal, the drive motors M1 to M6 are returned to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 to the original positions by the return drive amount set according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a in the abnormal stop processing. It is configured to be driven. As described above, when an operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 occurs, the drive motors M1 to M6 are driven with an appropriate original position return drive amount set according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a. The movable bodies 111 to 116 can be returned to the original position.

(Another embodiment 2)
Next, the configuration of a pachinko machine according to another embodiment 2 will be described. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the pachinko machine 10 according to the above-described embodiment, only different parts will be described.

  In the embodiment described above, the movable bodies 111 to 116 can be operated regardless of the state in which the effect control CPU 65a determines, but in another embodiment 2, according to the state in which the effect control CPU 65a determines, Movable movable bodies 111 to 116 (movable body groups GR1 to GR3) are configured to be different (do not match). For example, in the case where the gaming state is a normal state (a gaming state in which neither a probability change state nor a variation state is given) as the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a, the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP1 based on the special figure fluctuation pattern. While KP 3 is configured to be determined by the effect control CPU 65a, it is determined that the effect control CPU 65a determines that the gaming state is the non-normal state (probable change state or reduced state) based on the special figure fluctuation pattern. The effect control CPU 65a can be configured to determine only the movable effect pattern KP1. If the effect control CPU 65a determines that the effect control CPU 65a can determine only the movable effect patterns KP2 and KP3 based on the special pattern fluctuation pattern when the condition determined by the effect control CPU 65a is a normal state, the effect control CPU 65a determines A state in which the effect control CPU 65a determines that the effect control CPU 65a can determine only the movable effect pattern KP1 based on the special pattern fluctuation pattern when the state is the non-normal state (probability state or variable state). The movable movable bodies 111 to 116 may be completely different in accordance with the above.

  When it is determined that the operation is abnormal, the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to return the movable bodies 111 to 116 movable according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a in the abnormal stop processing to the original position It is configured to be driven. That is, in the above-described example, when the effect control CPU 65a can determine the movable effect patterns KP1 to KP3 based on the special figure fluctuation pattern when the condition determined by the effect control CPU 65a is the normal condition, it is determined that the operation is abnormal. In this case, among the first to sixth movable bodies 111 to 116, drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 116 determined to have operation abnormality are united with movable body groups GR1 to GR3. The movable bodies 111 to 116 are driven to return to the original position as a unit (more accurately, in units of the interlocking effect units G1 and G2). On the other hand, in a configuration where the effect control CPU 65a can determine only the movable effect pattern KP1 based on the special pattern fluctuation pattern when the effect control CPU 65a determines that the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a is abnormal, Among the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 116, drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to the movable bodies including the movable bodies 111 to 114 determined to be abnormal in units of movable body groups GR1 to GR2 (more accurately Is driven to return the movable bodies 111 to 114 to the original position as a unit of the interlocking effect unit G1. In this case, the first to fourth drive motors M1 to M4 are always driven when it is determined that the operation is abnormal. As described above, when the operation abnormality of the movable bodies 111 to 116 occurs, driving the drive motors M1 to M6 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 116 determined to be movable according to the state determined by the effect control CPU 65a. Thus, the necessary movable bodies 111 to 116 can be returned to the original position.

(Modification example)
The gaming machine is not limited to the one described above, and various modifications are possible.

(1) In the embodiment, when it is determined that the operation abnormality of any one of the plurality of movable bodies is provided, the plurality of movable bodies including the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred until the predetermined cancellation condition is satisfied. Although the drive of the corresponding drive motor is stopped, only the drive of the drive motor corresponding to the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred may be stopped. For example, in the embodiment, when the operation of the first movable body 111 is abnormal, the driving of the drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to the first to fourth movable bodies 111 to 114 is stopped. Only the drive of the first drive motor M1 may be stopped.
(2) In the embodiment, when it is determined that the operation of any movable body is abnormal, the movable body of the movable body group including the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred until the predetermined cancellation condition is satisfied. The drive motor and the drive motor corresponding to the movable body of the movable body group other than the movable body group including the movable body in which the operation abnormality occurred are configured to stop driving, but the unit of the movable body group It is also possible to stop the driving of the corresponding drive motor. For example, in the case of operation abnormality of the first or second movable bodies 111 to 112 included in the first movable body group GR1 in the embodiment, the first to fourth included in the first and second movable body groups GR1 to GR2 The driving of the drive motors M1 to M4 corresponding to the movable bodies 111 to 114 is stopped. In this case, the drive motors M1 to M2 corresponding to the first and second movable bodies 111 to 112 included in the first movable body group GR1. Only the drive of may be stopped. In this case, it is possible to prevent the movable bodies included in the first movable body group GR1 from contacting each other. In addition, also in the case of the operation | movement abnormality of the 3rd-4th movable body 113-114 contained in 2nd movable body group GR2, it can comprise similarly.
(3) In the embodiment, when it is determined that the operation abnormality of any of the plurality of provided movable bodies is determined, the drive motor corresponding to a part of the movable bodies other than the movable body in which the operation abnormality occurs is permitted to drive. However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the drive of the drive motor corresponding to all the movable bodies is stopped. For example, in the embodiment, even when the operation of the first movable body 111 is abnormal, the drive motors M5 to M6 corresponding to the fifth to sixth movable bodies 115 to 116 are allowed to drive. The driving of the drive motors M5 to M6 corresponding to the sixth movable bodies 115 to 116 may also be stopped.
(4) The number of movable bodies included in the movable body group is not limited to two, and can be three or more. Further, the number of movable bodies included in each movable body group in the plurality of movable body groups may be made different. For example, three movable bodies may be included in the second movable body group G2 of the embodiment, and four movable bodies may be included in the third movable body group. Further, the movable body group may be configured by one movable body.
(5) The abnormal stop processing of the embodiment is performed after the original position return processing for driving the drive motor corresponding to return the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position and the original position return processing. Although the stop processing for restricting the drive of the drive motor corresponding to the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred is performed until the predetermined release condition is satisfied, the original position return processing may be omitted. For example, a movable body whose position does not move along with a movable effect such as a movable body that rotates at a fixed position is unlikely to prevent other game effects even when the movable body is not returned to the original position. The drive of the corresponding drive motor can be regulated without returning to the original position.

(6) In the embodiment, when it is not determined that the driving amount (original position return driving amount) of the drive motor that drives the movable body to return to the original position when it is determined that the operation is abnormal, the movable position The driving amount is set to be larger than the driving amount (normal driving amount) required to move the movable body from the position to the original position, but the original position returning driving amount and the normal driving amount can be set to the same value.
(7) All or part of the functions of the main control means (main control CPU) may be included in the sub control means (rendering control CPU). Conversely, all or part of the functions included in the sub control means The main control means may be provided. In the first embodiment, the main control board and the sub control board (effect control board) are separately provided, but a single control board can be used. That is, the functions of the main control unit and the sub control unit may be provided to a control unit (CPU) provided on a single control board. Furthermore, a separate control board may be provided, and all or part of the functions of the main control means and sub control means of the first embodiment may be provided in another control means.
(8) In addition, the display control means (display control CPU) may have all or a part of the functions of the effect control means (effect control CPU), and the display control means (display means CPU) The effect control means (effect control CPU) may be provided with all or part of the functions provided. Then, the effect control means (effect control CPU) and the display control board (display control CPU) are separately provided, but a single control board can also be used. That is, the functions of the effect control board and the display control board may be shared by control means (CPU) provided on a single control board. The effect control means can also be used in the same manner for the lamp control means for light emission control and the sound control means for sound output control.
(9) The special view display means (special view display) for displaying the special figure is provided independently of the symbol display means (pattern display device) for displaying the design (decorative figure) for effect. It is not limited to this. For example, both the decoration drawing and the special drawing may be displayed in the symbol display means. Further, the decoration drawing and the special drawing may be shared and displayed on the symbol display means.
(10) In the embodiment, a pachinko machine has been illustrated as a game machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various game machines such as an arrange ball machine, a pinball machine, and a slot machine can be adopted. In addition, it can apply suitably to the game machine provided with the ball entrance which can enter the game ball which flows down a game area.
For example, in a slot machine machine (roll-type game machine), a plurality of box-like housings open forward are hinged so as to be able to open and close a front door for closing the front opening of the housings, The reel (rotating body) is disposed inside the housing so as to be visible from the front side. When the player operates the predetermined start operation means (start lever) in a state where a predetermined number of game medals have been inserted (game start standby state), the reel is triggered by the establishment of the start condition as a start condition. The rotating body rotates and the symbol starts to fluctuate and the hit determination related to the pass / fail is performed, and the symbol stop control based on the pass / fail determination is executed with the operation of the predetermined stop operation means (stop button) It is a gaming machine that is controlled to be awarded a gaming profit by a combination of symbols.

The present application includes the following technical ideas.

Driving the movable body (111 to 116) back to the original position until the predetermined release condition is satisfied after driving the corresponding drive means (M1 to M6) to return the original position to the original position The drive control means (65a) is configured to control the driving of the means (M1 to M6) to stop.
The return operation order of the driving means (M1 to M6) for driving the movable body (111 to 116) to return to the original position is set,
The drive control means (65a) is a movable body (111 to 116) in which the operation abnormality occurs when the operation abnormality determination means (65a) determines that any movable body (111 to 116) has an operation abnormality. Controlling the driving means (M1 to M6) corresponding to the movable body (111 to 116) including
The drive control means (65a) is in the middle of driving the drive means (M1 to M6) which has started the drive to return the movable body (111 to 116) to the original position, and the next drive defined in the return operation order The gist is to control to start driving of the means (M1 to M6).
As described above, by stopping the driving of the drive means corresponding to the movable body including the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred, the cause of the operation abnormality is prevented from being deteriorated due to the operation of the movable body, and the operation of the movable body It is possible to avoid troubles associated with abnormalities. Further, by stopping the driving of the drive means corresponding to the movable body including the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred until the release condition is satisfied, it is possible to prevent the operation abnormality from spreading to the other movable body.
In addition, by driving the corresponding drive means to return the movable body including the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred to the original position, the movable body is prevented from stopping at an unnatural position, and the operation of the movable body It is possible to prevent other game effects from being hindered by the movable body.
In addition, when the drive means corresponding to the movable body including the movable body in which the operation abnormality has occurred is randomly driven to return the movable body to the original position, the movable bodies interfere with each other when returning to the original position. Interference with the movable bodies can be effectively prevented by operating the drive means in a predetermined return operation sequence, in a situation where a situation where it can not return to a predetermined original position may occur.
Furthermore, by starting the drive of the next drive means while driving the drive means that has already started the drive, interference between the movable bodies is effectively prevented while the plurality of movable bodies are kept for a short time. Can be returned to the original position.

The present application includes the following technical ideas.
(B) The drive control means (65a) sets the next movement operation order after stopping driving of the drive means (M1 to M6) which has started driving to return the movable body (111 to 116) to the original position. The gist of the present invention is to control to start driving of the driving means (M1 to M6).
As described above, interference between the movable bodies can be more effectively prevented by starting the driving of the next driving means after stopping the driving of the driving means that has started driving first.
