Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of playing a game.

  Conventionally, the gaming machine has a movable body, and the movable body is configured to be movable to a first position where it is easy for the player to visually recognize and a second position where it is difficult to visually recognize, and operates from the initial mode. At the first position, there is one that changes to a predetermined mode in which a predetermined symbol is displayed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP, 2016-137388, A

  However, when the predetermined mode is returned to the initial mode at the first position, there is a possibility that the player may misunderstand that the change of the mode of the movable body is not completed. For this reason, the operation of the movable body could not be suitably controlled.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of suitably controlling the operation of a movable body.

(1) A gaming machine capable of playing a game (for example, a pachinko gaming machine 1, a slot machine),
It is possible to move the first position (for example, the effect position such as the front of the effect display device 5) and the second position (for example, the initial position, the origin position) and execute the operation (for example, the rotation operation or the deformation operation) initial aspect by (e.g., initial display mode, the initial form) and the player's advantageous degree suggesting certain embodiments (e.g., the display mode showing the advantageous degree of the form shown an advantageous degree) change in any of the embodiments involving Movable body (e.g., the first movable role 200A, the second movable role 200B);
And control means (for example, CPU 120 for effect control) for controlling the operation of the movable body,
The control means
After setting the predetermined mode at the first position as an initial operation of the movable body (for example, an operation for confirming the operation of the movable part) at the time of power on, the initial mode is returned to the first position at the first position. Control to move to the second position (see, eg, FIG. 16);
After the predetermined mode is set at the first position as a rendering operation different from the initial operation, the predetermined mode is moved to the second position, and the second position is controlled to be the initial mode (for example, 17 to 19),
Before the movable body is set to the predetermined mode, control is performed to set the movable body to a special mode indicating that the predetermined mode is to be set in the first position,
When decorative identification information is variable display, after a pre-Symbol certain embodiments the movable member Te first position smell, specific display results suggest that variable display of the decorative identification information is advantageous state Controlling the movable body to move to the second position until it is displayed ;
The second position is a position at which a change in the aspect of the movable body is difficult to visually recognize as compared with the first position.

  According to such a configuration, in the case of the rendering operation, the movable body is returned to the second position and then returned to the initial mode, so compared to the case where the initial position is returned to the first position before returning to the second position. When the player changes the mode of the movable body again, it can be made difficult to misunderstand. Also, in the case of the initial operation, the predetermined operation is performed at the first position before returning to the second position to return to the initial mode, so the operation check by the game arcade clerk or the operation check at the time of shipment from the factory In addition to the movement of the movable body, the predetermined operation can be easily confirmed. As a result, the movement of the movable body can be suitably controlled. In addition, the player can be made to pay attention to which predetermined mode is changed by the predetermined operation.

(2) In the gaming machine of (1),
The second position is an initial position of the movable body (see, for example, FIG. 16A).
The first position is an effect position of the movable body (see, for example, FIG. 16B).

  According to such a configuration, in the case of the effect operation, since the movable body is returned to the initial position and then returned to the initial mode, the player again performs the mode of the movable body as compared with the case of returning to the initial mode at the effect position. It can be difficult to misunderstand that Further, in the case of the initial operation, since the predetermined operation is performed at the effect position to return to the initial mode, the movement of the movable body is performed at the time of operation confirmation by the game arcade clerk or at the time of shipment from the factory. In addition to the above, the predetermined operation can be easily confirmed. As a result, the movement of the movable body can be suitably controlled.

(3) In the gaming machine of (1) or (2) above,
The control means performs the predetermined operation while moving the movable body from the second position to the first position, and changes the predetermined state at the first position (for example, as shown in FIG. 16A). The symbol is rotated while raising the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B between 16 (B), and is changed to a predetermined pattern at the effect position as shown in FIG. 16 (C). .

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to have a sense of unity between the movement of the movable body and the predetermined operation, as compared with the case where the predetermined operation is performed after the movable body is moved to the first position. As a result, the movement of the movable body can be suitably controlled.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (3) above,
There are a plurality of movable bodies (for example, a first movable role 200A, a second movable role 200B),
The combination of the predetermined modes of the plurality of movable bodies executes an advantage for the player (for example, an expectation controlled in an advantageous state such as a jackpot gaming state advantageous for the player, an effect for the player) Expectations (for example, see FIG. 15).

  According to such a configuration, the player can be made to pay attention to what combination of predetermined modes is to be achieved by the predetermined operation.

(5) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (4) above,
The initial mode is a mode that suggests an advantageous result for the player (for example, ○ + ○ shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16A).

  According to such a configuration, since the movable body is returned to the second position and then returned to the initial mode suggesting advantageous results for the player when not in the initial movement, in the first position before returned to the second position. Compared to the case of returning to such an initial mode, it is possible for the player to be less likely to misidentify.

(6) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (5) above,
There are a plurality of types of the predetermined mode (for example, ○, □, Δ),
The control means executes the predetermined operation and changes it to any one of the predetermined modes at the first position, and then executes the predetermined operation again to change any of the predetermined modes. It is feasible (see, for example, FIGS. 15 and 19).

  According to such a configuration, when the predetermined operation is performed again at the first position, it changes to any of the predetermined modes. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to misidentify that the predetermined operation to be performed again at the first position is an operation for returning the movable body to the initial mode.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6) above,
The second position is an origin position of the movable body,
The control means
First operation control for positioning the movable body at the second position (for example, the operation at the time of non-detection of step S105 to step S114 of the second initialization process of FIG. 10 as the first operation control as the effect control CPU 120) Control or a part that executes operation control at the time of detection in step S120 to step S128) and the second operation control (for example, effect control) which is the initial operation for confirming that the movable body can operate normally CPU 120 performs, as the second operation control, a portion that executes the operation control for the actual operation check in step S201 to step S213 of the second initialization processing of FIG. 10) and the above-mentioned rendering operation for performing rendering by the movable body Third operation control (for example, a period or a big hit game in which the effect control CPU 120 is executing the variable display of the symbol as the third operation control). It is possible to perform the control, etc.) and to run the movable member directed in state,
In the second operation control, the movable body is controlled to operate within a range of a first speed and a second speed higher than the first speed (for example, as shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13A) As described above, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the operation control for actual operation check, the range between the lowest speed (low speed) that is the first speed and the highest speed (high speed) as the second speed that is higher than the lowest speed. Control the movable part to operate at the speed inside)),
In the first operation control, the movable body is controlled to operate at a speed equal to or lower than the first speed in the second operation control (for example, in FIG. 12, FIG. 13B, and FIG. 13C). As shown, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the speed less than the minimum speed in the operation control for the actual operation check as the second operation control ( In this embodiment, the movable part is controlled to operate at the same speed as the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation).

  According to such a configuration, in the first operation control, since the movable body operates at a speed that can be stopped at any timing, it can be safely positioned at the second position.

A mode for carrying out a gaming machine according to the present invention will be described below.
First, the overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 1 which is an example of a gaming machine will be described. In the following description, the front side of FIG. 1 will be described as the front (front, front) side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the back side as the rear (back) side. In the present embodiment, the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is an opposing surface that faces the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side. In the description of each step in the flowchart, for example, a portion described as “step S1” may be abbreviated as “S1”. Moreover, "execution" and "implementation" are synonymous in this embodiment.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, showing the layout of the main members. Pachinko gaming machines 1 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as gaming machines) are roughly classified into a gaming board 2 (gauge board) which constitutes a gaming board surface and a gaming machine frame 3 (a underframe) for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2 And consists of. In the game board 2, a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails is formed. In the game area, a game ball is fired from the ball striking device and struck.

  A first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the right side of the game area). Each of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B is composed of, for example, LEDs (light emitting diodes) of 7 segments, dot matrix, etc. Special symbols (also referred to as "special figures") that are plural types of distinguishable identification information (special identification information) are variably displayed (also referred to as variable display or variable display). For example, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B respectively change and display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. Do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-", etc. For example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols, for example. In the following, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as "the first special view", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display 4B is the "second special view" It is also called.

  The first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B are both formed, for example, in a square shape. Note that the type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same (for example, numbers indicating "0" to "9" and symbols indicating "-"), or the type is It may be different. Further, the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B may be configured to variably display, for example, numbers (or two-digit symbols) indicating "00" to "99". In addition, each segment indicating “00” to “99” may be configured to be variably displayed by a display randomly arranged to make “00” to “99” invisible.

  Near the center of the game area of the game board 2, an effect display device 5 is provided. The effect display device 5 is configured of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display Device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, for example, three corresponding to the variation display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display 4A and the variation display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display 4B. In the effect pattern display area serving as a plurality of variable display units, a effect pattern (also referred to as a decorative pattern), which is a plurality of types of identification information (decorative identification information) capable of identifying each, is variably displayed. The variable display of this effect pattern is also included in the variable display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle" and "right" are arranged. Then, in response to any one of the change of the first special figure in the first special symbol display 4A and the change of the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B being started, The variation (for example, the scroll display in the vertical direction) of the effect design is started in each of the effect design display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “in”, “middle” and “right”. Thereafter, the finalized design symbols (finally stopped symbols) are stopped and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of the effect display device 5.

  Thus, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the special drawing game using the first special drawing in the first special symbol display 4A or the second special drawing in the second special symbol display 4B is used. In synchronization with the special figure game played, the variable display of a plurality of types of effect symbols that can be identified respectively is performed, and the confirmed effect symbols are derived and displayed (or simply referred to as "derivation"). The variable display may be temporarily stopped during the variable display of the effect pattern.

  For example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or “han” or “han” are displayed on the effect symbols that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The character image may be, for example, a person, an animal, an object other than these, or a combination of a number, English letters, eight character images relating to a predetermined motif, a number or a character or a combination of a symbol and a character image. , A symbol such as a character, or any other decorative image representing an arbitrary figure). Corresponding symbol numbers are attached to each of the rendering symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are attached to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. In addition, the production design is not limited to eight types, but it may be any number as long as it can constitute an appropriate number of combinations such as a combination of "big hit" and a combination of "off" (for example, seven types or 9 types etc).

  After the variation display of the production design is started, until the finalized production design is derived and displayed, each of the production design display areas 5L, 5C, 5R, or the production design of "left", "middle", and "right" At least one of display areas 5L, 5C, 5R (for example, "left" rendering symbol display area 5L, etc.), for example, from top to bottom sequentially from top to bottom with a symbol number When the scroll display is performed and the effect symbol having the maximum symbol number (for example, "8") is displayed, the effect symbol having the minimum symbol number (for example, "1") is subsequently displayed.

  In the left and right two places in the lower part of the display area of the effect display device 5, a first hold storage display area 5HL and a second hold storage display area 5HR are set. In the first hold storage display area 5HL and the second hold storage display area 5HR, a hold storage display is performed to display the number of the hold storages for the variable display corresponding to the special view game (the number of special view hold storages) in an identifiable manner.

  Here, the game ball passes the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball device 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, with the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special view game. It occurs based on the start-up winning by (entering). That is, although a start condition (also referred to as "execution condition") for executing a variable display game such as a special view game or a variable display of a production symbol is satisfied, a variable display game based on the start condition established earlier is being executed. If the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, etc., suspension of the variable display corresponding to the satisfied start condition is To be done. In this embodiment, the holding memory display generated based on the start winning by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening is displayed as a round white display, and the game ball passes the second starting winning opening ( Hold storage display generated based on the start winning by entering) is displayed as a circular blue display.

  In the following description, the display in the first hold storage display area 5HL and the second hold storage display area 5HR may be collectively referred to as a hold display.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first reserve display for specifying the number of special view reserve storages in an identifiable manner on the upper side of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B together with the reserve storage display area 25A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided. The first hold indicator 25A displays the number of first special view hold memories in an identifiable manner. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special view hold storage number in a distinguishable manner. The number of pending storages of the variable display obtained by adding the number of the first special view pending storage and the number of the second special view pending storage is particularly referred to as the total pending storage number.

  Under the effect display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The regular winning ball device 6A forms, for example, a first start winning opening that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member. The normally variable winning ball device 6B is an electric motor having a pair of movable winglets that changes between a normally open state in a vertical position and an enlarged open state in a tilting position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric symbol shown in FIG. A tulip type character (usually an electric character) is provided to form a second start winning opening.

  As an example, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second starting winning opening by the movable wing piece being in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the normal motorized combination is off. It will be in the normally open state which is unfortunate. On the other hand, in the case of the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by tilting control in which the movable wing piece is in the tilting position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric combination is on. It becomes an expansion and release state which is easy to enter. In addition, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even when the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the normal opening state, the game ball may enter more than when it is in the enlarged opening state. It may be configured to be low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball device 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening in a normally open state. As described above, the second start winning opening changes into an enlarged open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) and a normal open state in which the game ball hardly passes (enters) or can not pass (enter).

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, a first starting opening switch 22A shown in FIG. The game ball which has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, a second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the first special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit (for example, " If it is less than 4 "), the first start condition is satisfied. A predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as a prize ball based on the detection of the game ball by the second start opening switch 22B, and the second special view reserve memory number is a predetermined upper limit (for example, " If it is less than 4 "), the second start condition is satisfied. The number of winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the first starting opening switch 22A, and the number of the winning balls to be paid out based on the detection of the gaming ball by the second starting opening switch 22B. The numbers may be the same or different from each other.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning prize ball device 7 includes a special winning opening door which is driven to open and close by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning opening door shown in FIG. 2 and a predetermined area which changes to an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. To form a winning opening as.

  As an example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is off, the big winning mouth door closes the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball passes the big winning mouth (enter) I can not do it. On the other hand, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big winning mouth door is in the on state, the big winning mouth door opens the big winning mouth, and the gaming ball passes the big winning mouth (enter ) To make it easier. In this manner, the special winning opening is changed into an opened state in which the game ball easily passes (enters), which is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game ball can not pass (enter), which is disadvantageous for the player. In place of the closed state where the game ball can not pass (enter) the big winning opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially open state in which the game ball does not easily pass (enter) the big prize opening may be provided.

  The game ball which has passed (entered) the special winning opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. A predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as winning balls based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23. Thus, when the game ball passes (enters) the special winning hole of the special variable winning ball device 7 in the open state, the gaming ball moves to another winning hole (for example, the first start winning hole or the second starting winning hole). More balls will be paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, when the special prize winning opening of the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is in the open state, the gaming ball can enter into the special prize winning mouth, which is an advantageous first state for the player. On the other hand, if the special winning opening of the special variable winning prize ball device 7 is closed, it becomes impossible or difficult to get the winning balls by passing the game ball to the special winning mouth, which makes it difficult for the player. It is a disadvantageous second state.

  An ordinary symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 1, on the left side of the game area). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of LEDs or the like of 7 segments or dot matrix similarly to the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and plural kinds of identification information different from the special symbol The symbol which is a normal symbol (also referred to as "common figure" or "ordinary figure") is variably displayed (variation display). Such a variation display of an ordinary symbol is referred to as a common-play game (also referred to as a "normal-figure game").

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a general drawing reserve display 25C is provided. The general drawing retention indicator 25C is configured to include, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general drawing retention memory number as the number of effective passing balls passed through the passing gate 41.

  On the surface of the game board 2, besides the above-described configuration, a windmill and a large number of obstacle nails for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball are provided. In addition, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening and the large winning opening, for example, a single or a plurality of general winning openings which are always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member are provided. It may be done. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as winning balls based on the fact that a game ball entering one of the general winning openings is detected by a predetermined general winning ball switch. At the lowermost position of the game area, an out port is provided where game balls that have not entered any winning port are captured.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the upper left and right positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and further, LED for effect 9 is provided in the peripheral area of the gaming area.

  FIG. 4 shows the variation pattern of this embodiment. In the present embodiment, a plurality of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. 4 are prepared in advance. Specifically, in the present embodiment, among the cases in which the variation display result is “off”, the variation display mode of the rendering symbol is “non-reach” and corresponds to the case of “reach”, respectively. In addition, a plurality of fluctuation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the fluctuation display result is a "big hit" or the like.

  The reach effect of normal reach is executed for the big hit fluctuation pattern which is the fluctuation pattern corresponding to the fluctuation display result is "big hit", and the reach fluctuation pattern when the fluctuation display mode of the production design is "reach" There are a normal reach fluctuation pattern and a super reach fluctuation pattern in which super reach reach effects such as super reach α and super reach β are executed. In the present embodiment, only one type of normal reach fluctuation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach α, normal reach β,... You may provide the normal reach fluctuation pattern of. In addition to the super reach fluctuation pattern, three or more super reach fluctuation patterns such as super reach γ may be provided in addition to the super reach α and the super reach β.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, since the fluctuation display result is “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach, the big hit expectation is set to be high. In the reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the jackpot expectation.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 of the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 2 stores various selection data, table data, etc. used to control the progress of the game. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables and setting tables prepared in advance for the CPU 103 to make various determinations, determinations, and settings. Also, the ROM 101 stores a plurality of types of table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11 and a plurality of fluctuation patterns as shown in FIG. Table data etc. which constitute a fluctuation pattern table are stored.

  FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of a display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In this embodiment, the display result determination table common to the first and second special views is used as the display result determination table, but the present invention is not limited to this. And the second special view may use individual display result determination tables.

  Before the finalized special symbol is derived and displayed in the special drawing game of the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, the display result judgment table is in the big hit gaming state with the variable display result as the "big hit". It is a table referenced to determine whether to control based on the random value MR1.

  In the display result determination table of the present embodiment, a numerical value (compared to the random value MR1 depending on whether the gaming state is the normal state or the time saving state (low probability state) or the probability variation state (high probability state) A judgment value) is assigned to the "big hit" or "off" special map display result.

  In the display result determination table, determination data is allocated to the determination result as to whether or not the special view display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as "big hit". Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is a definite change state (high probability state), more determination values are “big hit” than in the normal state or the short time state (low probability state). It is assigned to the figure display result. In this way, the probability that the special figure display result is determined to be controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" when in the normal state or the short time state (low probable state) in the positive variation state where high probability control is performed Compared to (about 1/300 in the present embodiment), the probability that it is determined that the special image display result is controlled to the big hit gaming state as the "big hit" is higher (about 1/30 in the present embodiment). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state is the high probability state, the probability that it is determined to control the big hit gaming state is higher than when it is in the normal state or the short time state, The determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the jackpot gaming state.

  In the ROM 101, when it is determined to control to a big hit gaming state, a big hit type determination table or random number value MR3 that is referred to determine a big hit type to any one of a plurality of types based on the random value MR2. A variation pattern determination table for determining a variation pattern based on one of the variation patterns shown in FIG. 4 described above is also stored.

  In the setting example shown in FIG. 6A, depending on whether the variation feature is the first feature or the second feature, the determination value for the big hit type of "probably big hit A" and "prone big hit B" Allocation is different. That is, when the fluctuation special drawing is the second special drawing, there is no assignment to the big hit type of "small fluctuation big hit B" with a small number of rounds, and "fixed fluctuation big hit B" does not occur in the fluctuation display of the second special drawing. In the game state in which the game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B by the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, the prize balls obtained are small. Can prevent frequent occurrence of the game and the decrease in the game entertainment. The setting example shown in FIG. 6A is only an example, and a jackpot type other than that shown in FIG. 6A may be provided, and the determination ratio of each jackpot and the presence or absence of the determination, etc. It may be set appropriately.

  In addition, as the fluctuation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 101, it is determined in advance that the "big hit" change pattern determination table used when it is determined in advance that the "big hit" is used. A release fluctuation pattern determination table to be used at the time is prepared in advance. In the present embodiment, the variation pattern of the reach is more easily determined when the hit is a big hit than when it is out, and there is a possibility (reliability and expectation) that a hit occurs when the reach occurs. As it becomes higher, even if the fluctuation pattern of the same reach, the probability (reliability and expectation) of the super reach is higher than that of the normal reach (reliability and expectation), and even if it is the same super reach, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β In the variation pattern determination table for big hit, the determination value corresponding to each variation pattern is set so that the probability (reliability and expectation) of the probability variation will be higher in the case of There is.

  Note that the variation pattern determination table for loss includes a plurality of tables corresponding to the total number of pending storages and the time saving state, and the total number of pending storages corresponds to 2 to 4 depending on the number of pending storages and the time saving state. Reduced non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-2), reduced non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-3) corresponding to the total number of pending storages of 5 to 8, reduced non-reach loss variation pattern By determining (PA1-4) according to the total number of pending storages and the gaming state (time saving state), as the total number of pending storages increases, a shorter variation pattern is easier to be executed, that is, variation per unit time By increasing the number of times, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of useless start winnings, and during time saving control (during time saving state), shortening non-reach is a variation of deviation than when time saving control is not executed. Pattern (PA1-4) that is often determined by increasing the number of times of the change per unit time, can reduce the time to the next jackpot, and to be able to improve the extended game player's sense of.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the main substrate 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply substrate is started, the gaming control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes predetermined processing to be gaming control main processing. When the game control main processing is started, the CPU 103 sets the interrupt prohibition and then performs necessary initialization. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, the register setting of the CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. As a result, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When initialization is complete, after enabling the interrupt, it enters loop processing. In the game control main process, the loop process may be entered after the process for restoring the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop is performed.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, the CPU 103 executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 7 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, whereby the gate switch 21, the first starting opening switch 22A, and the second starting opening are performed via the switch circuit 110.

Thereafter, by executing the command control process, the control command is transmitted (outputted) from the main substrate 11 to the sub-side control substrate such as the effect control substrate 12 (S17).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of special symbol process processing. In the special symbol process process, first, the start winning determination process is executed (S21). Thereafter, depending on the value of the special drawing process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit 152, one of the processes of S22 to S29 is selected and executed.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether there is a first start winning or a second start winning by the first starting opening switch 22A or the second starting opening switch 22B, and if there is a winning, the random value MR1, MR2 and MR3 are extracted, and they are stored at the top of the vacant entry of the first special drawing reservation storage section if they are the first starting winning combination, and they are the second special drawing reservation if they are the second starting winning combination. Store at the top of the free entry in the storage unit.

  The special symbol normal processing of S22 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "0". In the special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether or not to start the special drawing game based on the presence or absence of the pending data. In addition, based on numerical data indicating the random number value MR1, it is determined (predetermined) whether or not the variable display result is to be "big hit" before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Furthermore, a determined special symbol (either a big hit symbol or an off symbol) is set in accordance with the variable display result. Then, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “1”.

  The variation pattern setting process of S23 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "1". The variation pattern setting process is a process of determining the variation pattern to any one of a plurality of types using numerical data indicating the random number value MR3 based on the preliminary determination result of whether or not the variation display result is "big hit". It is included. Then, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "2".

In special symbol variation processing, processing to perform setting for varying the special symbol by the first special symbol indicator 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B, and the elapsed time from the start of the variation of the special symbol Processing etc. is included. In addition, when the fluctuation elapsed time of the special symbol reaches the special drawing fluctuation time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "3".

  The special symbol stopping process of S25 is executed when the value of the special drawing process flag is "3". Special symbol stop processing includes processing to perform setting for stopping (deriving) a finalized special symbol that will be a variation display result of a special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. It is done. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is turned on, and if the big hit flag is turned on, the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special process process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "4". In the big hit opening pre-processing, on the basis of the fluctuation display result becoming “big hit” etc., the process to start the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and perform the setting to open the big winning opening include. Specifically, while setting the upper limit of the period when the big winning a prize opening state is set to “29 seconds”, the opening number of the big winning a prize opening which becomes the upper limit number of times to execute round, “non-probability variation big hit” or If it is a big hit A ", it is set to" 16 times ". On the other hand, when the big hit type is “probable variation big hit B”, the number of times of opening of the special winning opening, which is the upper limit number of times to execute the round, is set to “five times”. At this time, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5".

  The big hit open processing of S27 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "5". The big hit opening process is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time from opening the big winning opening, the elapsed time measured, the number of gaming balls detected by the count switch 23, etc. It includes a process of determining whether it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, the processing of stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is executed, and then the value of the special processing process flag is updated to "6". .

  The big hit opening post process of S28 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "6". In this big hit opening post-processing, processing to determine whether the number of executions of the round with the big winning opening opened reached the large winning opening opening frequency maximum value, the winning opening opening frequency maximum value was reached In this case, the process of setting for transmitting the big hit end designation command is included. Then, when the number of round executions has not reached the maximum winning opening open number maximum value, while the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "5", when the maximum winning opening opening number maximum value is reached, the special drawing The value of the process flag is updated to "7".

  The big hit end processing of S29 is executed when the value of the special processing process flag is "7". The big hit end process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period in which ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit gaming state is executed has elapsed. When such setting is performed, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to "0".

  In the big hit end process, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit is read out, and the big hit type is "non-probable big hit", "probably big hit A", or "positively big hit B" Identify. Then, if it is determined that the identified jackpot type is not "non-probable variation big hit", setting (setting of a probability variation flag) for starting the probability variation control is performed.

  In addition, when the specified big hit type is “non-probable variation big hit”, the setting for starting the time reduction control (preset corresponding to the upper limit value of the special figure game executable during the setting of the time reduction flag and time reduction control) A predetermined count initial value ("100" in this embodiment) is set in the time reduction counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main processing shown in FIG. In the main process, first, the first initialization process (S50) for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing the timer for determining the start interval (for example, 2 ms) of effect control A second initialization process is performed to return the first movable part 200A, the second movable part 200B, and the third movable part 200C to the origin position and to check the operation (S51). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to loop processing for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When a timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag by timer interrupt processing. If the timer interruption flag is set (on) in the main processing, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53), and executes the following processing.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing (S54). In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) the command transmitted from the main substrate 11 stored in the reception command buffer is. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received in an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in the buffer area formed in the RAM. And the process etc. which set the flag according to the received presentation control command are performed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, among the processes corresponding to the control state, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected to execute display control of the effect display device 5.

  Next, an effect random number updating process for updating the count value of a counter for generating effect random numbers such as a jackpot symbol determination random number is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the second initialization process (S51) of this embodiment. In the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies a movable role to be operated first based on the setting data (S101). The setting data includes the order data of the movable part, and in this embodiment, the order of the first movable part 200A → the second movable part 200B → the third movable part 200C is set in advance as the order. It is done. Therefore, when S101 is first executed, the first movable part 200A is specified as the target movable part.

  Next, it is determined whether the movable combination specified in S101 is an origin detection target combination that needs to be subjected to the origin detection (S102).

  In the present embodiment, the first movable object 200A having the first movable combination object origin detection sensor 220A and the second movable combination object origin detection sensor as the origin detection target objects required to perform the origin detection The second movable part 200B having 220B corresponds, and the third movable part 200C having no origin detection sensor does not. Therefore, when the movable part specified in S101 is the first movable part 200A or the second movable part 200B, the determination is "Y" in the determination, while the movable part specified in S101 is the first In the case of the 3 movable role thing 200C, it will be determined as "N".

  If it is determined in S102 that the result is "N", the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, when it is determined as "Y" in S102, the process proceeds to S103, and the detection state of the origin detection sensor corresponding to the operation target object is specified (S103), and the origin detection sensor is in the detection state That is, it is determined whether or not the target movable combination is located at the home position (initial position) (S104).

  If it is not located at the home position (initial position) (S104; N), the process proceeds to S105 and after setting the non-detection time counter for counting the non-detection time operation control counter to 0 (S105), as a control speed for operating the operation target product, the operation target at the same operation speed as the minimum speed (see FIGS. 12 and 13) in the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initialization operation control) described later The minimum control speed for operating the accessory is set (S106), and the driving motor of the operating object, for example, the first movable accessory driving motor 210A if the operating object is the first movable accessory 200A Is started in the direction of the home position (S107), and the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S108). The timer count of the non-detection operation period timer may be performed, for example, by counting the number of signals output at predetermined intervals from CTC initialized in the first initialization process. .

  Then, while the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, the state shifts to a monitoring state where it is monitored whether the non-detection operation period timer has become a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S109, S110).

  By driving the driving device for the operation object (for example, the first movable object drive motor 210A) in the direction of the origin position, the operation object is located at the origin position (initial position), and the origin detection sensor detects If not, the driving of the movable part drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if the non-detection time operation period timer becomes a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the operation target role is not positioned at the home position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S112. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection time operation counter (S112), and it is determined whether the value of the non-detection time operation counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3) (S113).

  In S113, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number, the driving of the movable combination drive motor is stopped, and the origin return error of the operation target combination is stored (S114). Go to S130. That is, when the operation subject is not positioned at the origin position (initial position) in the non-detection operation control, the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later for the operation subject is not performed (the case A return-to-home error is stored in order to bring the operation target item to a dead end state, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S113, a mode is described in which the operation target role is dead-ended, but the present invention is not limited thereto. When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S113, the error processing is started, and the second initialization processing is performed by executing the error processing. By interrupting, the effect control main processing may be interrupted without advancing to S52, and the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) may be in a state (dead end state) not to be activated.

  Further, when the operation target role is in a dead end state, the effect control board 12 (such as the effect control CPU 120) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is an input signal indicating that the movable object is to operate. For example, it is preferable to execute processing such as disabling reception of a detection signal of a presentation button or the like, or preventing movement of the movable part even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter does not reach the operation error determination number, the driving of the movable combination drive motor is stopped and the process returns to S106, and the processing of S106 to S108 is performed again. The operation to move the operating object to the home position at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation check (long initialization operation control) starts (operation control at non-detection time), and the monitoring state of S109 and S110 mentioned above Migrate to

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S110 that the error determination time has elapsed, the operation (non-detection operation control) is repeatedly performed to move the operation target object to the home position (initial position) repeatedly until the operation error determination count is reached. If the action target product is detected at the home position (initial position) while doing so, the process proceeds to S130 without proceeding to S114.

  On the other hand, if "Y" is determined in S104 described above and the process proceeds to S120, 0 is set in the detection operation number counter, and then the detection operation process data is set (S121a), and the detection operation process timer Timer counting is started (S121 b). As the timer count of the process time timer for detection, as with the timer count of the non-detection time period timer described above, a signal output from CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals is used. It may be performed by counting the number or the like. In addition, in the operation process data at the time of detection of the present embodiment, the control speed for operating the operation subject is the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check (long initialization operation control) described later (FIG. 12, FIG. The minimum control speed for operating the operating target at the same operating speed as that of 13) is described (set).

  Next, based on the set minimum control speed set in the detection-time operating process data, the operating object is operated (S122), and it is determined whether the process data is completed (S123), the process data Is not completed, the process returns to S122, and the operation target role is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the operation process data at the time of detection.

  Thus, in the detection operation control, until the detection operation process data is completed, the minimum speed based on the minimum control speed set in the detection operation process data, that is, the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initial At the lowest speed in the control operation (operation control), an operation of moving away from the home position (initial position) once and returning from the position away from the home position (initial position) to the home position (initial position) is performed (see FIG. 12). Note that the position away from the origin position is a position near the origin position, that is, a position where the detection points of each movable combination can not be detected by each origin sensor, and is a predetermined position closer to the origin position than each effect position ( It is set as an operation position at detection time).

  If it is determined in S123 that the set detection process process data is complete, the drive of the movable combination drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S124, and is the origin detection sensor in a detection state? In other words, it is determined (confirmed) whether or not the operation subject is located at the home position (initial position).

  If the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, if the operation target role is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S130.

  On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the operation subject is not positioned at the origin position (initial position), 1 is added to the detection operation number counter (S126) It is determined whether the value of the detection-time operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3) (S127). If the value of the operation time operation counter has reached the operation error determination number, the process proceeds to S128, stores the origin return error of the operation object (S128), and proceeds to S130. That is, when the operation subject is not positioned at the origin position (initial position) in the operation control at the time of detection, the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later for the operation subject is not performed (the operation The return-to-home error is stored in order to make the target character dead-end, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In this embodiment, in the case where the value of the operation time counter at the time of detection reaches the number of operation error determinations in S127, a mode is shown in which the operation target role is dead-ended, but the present invention The present invention is not limited to this, and in S113, when the value of the operation time operation counter reaches the number of operation error judgments, the error processing is started and the second initialization processing is interrupted by executing the error processing. As a result, the effect control main processing may be interrupted without proceeding to step S52, and the effect control board 12 may not be activated (dead end state).

  Further, when the operation target role is in a dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 etc.) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is an input signal for operating the movable effect (for example, effect It is preferable to execute processing such as invalidating reception of a detection signal of a button or the like, or preventing the movable part from operating even when the input signal is input.

  If it is determined that "N" is determined in S102, if it is determined "Y" in S109, or if it is determined "Y" in S124, then in S130, the movable role is still an operation target It is determined whether or not there are no remaining movable parts, and if there are no remaining movable parts (specifically, if the operation target part is the third movable part 200C), Shift to processing for performing operation control for actual operation confirmation shown in 11. On the other hand, if the remaining movable part is present, the process proceeds to S131, and after the movable part to be operated next is specified, the process returns to S102, and the above-described S102 and subsequent steps are performed for the specified movement target part. Execute the process as well.

  When S131 is executed when the operation target role is the first movable position 200A, the second movable role 200B is specified as the operation target based on the setting data, and the operation target position is When S is the second movable role object 200B, when S131 is executed, the third movable role object 200C is specified as the operation target role object based on the setting data.

  Next, the process shown in FIG. 11 will be described. In S200 shown in FIG. 11, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies a movable combination (confirmation target combination) whose operation is to be checked first based on setting data, as in the above-described S101 (S200). Next, it is determined whether or not there is a storage of the origin return error of the target role (S201).

  If there is storage of the return-to-origin error of the check target role, the process proceeds to S220 without executing the process of S202a to S213. By doing this, in this embodiment, the operation control for actual operation confirmation is not performed for the movable part determined as the origin return error in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control. .

  On the other hand, when there is no storage of the return-to-origin error of the check target role, the process proceeds to S202a, and process data for actual operation check corresponding to the check target role is set. That is, if the check target role is the first movable role 200A, set the process data for actual operation check of the first moveable target 200A, and if the check target role is the second movable role 200B, the first (2) The process data for actual operation check of the movable part 200B is set, and if the object to be confirmed is the third movable part 200C, the process data for actual operation check of the third movable part 200C is set. In each of the actual operation checking process data, a control speed or the like is described (set) so that the movable combination performs the same operation as the actual movement of the movable object in the effect.

  Next, timer counting of the process timer for actual operation confirmation is started (S202b). As the timer count of the process timer for actual operation confirmation, similarly to the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above, a signal output at regular intervals from CTC initialized in the first initialization process It may be performed by counting the number of

  Then, the control target role is operated at the control speed set corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer in the set actual operation confirmation process data (S203), and the process data is completed. It is determined whether or not the process data has been completed (S204). If the process data has not been completed, the process returns to S203, and the check target role is set corresponding to the timer count value of the process timer for actual operation check at that time. Operate based on the control speed being controlled.

  Thus, until the process data for actual operation confirmation is completed, the object to be confirmed is operated at the control speed set corresponding to the timer count value of the process timer for actual operation confirmation in the process data for actual operation confirmation The control speed of the object to be confirmed is sequentially changed in time series by causing the same to accelerate or decelerate as the control speed set when actually operating the movable role in the movable object effect. Can.

  Then, if it is determined in S204 that the set process data for actual operation confirmation is completed, the driving of the movable combination driving motor is stopped, and whether the target combination is the origin target combination It is determined whether or not (S204a). If the target character is not the origin detection target character, that is, if it is the third movable character 200C, the process proceeds to S220, and if the target character is the third movable character 200C, it proceeds to S222. On the other hand, if the target role is the origin detection target role, that is, if the first movable role 200A or the second movable role 200B, the origin detection sensor is in the detection state or not, that is, the operation It is determined (confirmed) whether or not the target role is located at the home position (initial position) (S205).

  When the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, when the confirmation target role is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the object to be confirmed is not positioned at the origin position (initial position), the above-mentioned operation control at non-detection (see FIG. 10) is performed. The processing of S206 to S213 is performed in order to position the target part at the origin position (initial position).

  Specifically, after setting 0 to the non-detection operation number counter for counting the number of times of non-detection operation control (S206), operation control for actual operation confirmation as control speed (long initialization operation control) Set the minimum control speed for operating the operation target figure at the same operation speed as the minimum speed in (S207), and for example, if the confirmation target figure driving device is the first movable role article 200A For example, the first movable part product drive motor 210A is started to be driven toward the home position (initial position) (S208), and the timer count of the non-detection time period timer is started (S209).

  Then, while the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, it shifts to the monitoring state where it is monitored whether the non-detection operation period timer has become a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S210, S211).

  By driving the drive device for the target role (for example, the first movable role drive motor 210A) toward the home position (initial position), the target role is located at the home position (initial position) and the home position detection sensor detects If it is in the state, it is determined as "Y" in S210, and the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, if the non-detection operation period timer has a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the confirmation target role is not positioned at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S212. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection time operation counter (S212), and it is determined whether the value of the non-detection time operation counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3) (S213).

  If the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the operation error determination number, the process proceeds to S220. In this embodiment, in the case where the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S213, the present embodiment exemplifies a mode in which the operation target role is in the dead end state. When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S213, the return-to-origin error of the operation object is stored, and the operation object after that is stored. You may make it not perform real operation. Alternatively, the second initialization process is interrupted by starting the error process and executing the error process, the effect control main process is interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 is not activated. You may make it (dead end state).

  Further, when the operation target role is in a dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 etc.) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is an input signal for operating the movable effect (for example, effect It is preferable to execute processing such as invalidating reception of a detection signal of a button or the like, or preventing the movable part from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter does not reach the operation error determination number, the process returns to S207, and the processing of S207, S208, and S209 is performed again to confirm the target object for confirmation of actual operation confirmation. The operation (operation at the time of origin return) to move to the origin position (initial position) at the lowest speed in the operation control for operation (long initialization operation control) is started to shift to the monitoring state of S210 and S211 described above.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S211 that the error determination time has elapsed, the operation (non-detection operation control) is performed to move the target object repeatedly to the home position (initial position) until the operation error determination count is reached. If the target character is detected at the origin position (initial position) while the operation is in progress, the process proceeds to S220.

  If it is determined that "Y" is determined in S201, if it is determined "N" in S204a, if it is determined "Y" in S205, or if it is determined "Y" in S210, S220 is executed. It is determined whether or not there are remaining movable parts that are not subject to confirmation of the operation check among the movable parts, and there is no remaining movable part (specifically, the target combination of the operation confirmation) When the object is the third movable role 200C), while the record of the error stored in S114 and S128 is cleared (S222) and the process is ended, the remaining movable role is present. Then, the process proceeds to S221, and after the movable combination to be operation checked next is specified, the process returns to S201, and the above-described processing from S201 onward is similarly executed for the specified target combination.

  Here, the operation mode and control contents of the movable part by executing the second initialization process shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. 12 is a schematic explanatory view showing operation modes of non-detection operation control, detection operation control and actual operation check operation control performed by the effect control CPU 120. FIG. 13 (A) is an explanatory view showing a control speed in the operation control for checking the actual operation, FIG. 13 (B) is an explanatory view showing a control speed in the operation control at detection, and FIG. It is an explanatory view showing control speed.

  In FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, non-detection operation control (short initialization operation control) and detection operation control (short) in the first movable object 200A and the second movable object 200B which are the origin detection target object Only initialization operation control) and operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initialization operation control) will be described, and the description of the third movable combination 200C that is not the origin detection target combination will be omitted. Moreover, although the reciprocation movement distance (movement range) of the 1st movable part 201A of the 1st movable role thing 200A and the reciprocation movement distance (movement range) of each 2nd movable part 201B of the 2nd movable thing 200B are not the same. For convenience of explanation, it will be described using the same conceptual diagram.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the first movable portion 201A of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 201B of the second movable part 200B are each between the origin position (retracted position, initial position) and the effect position The reciprocation operation is provided so that the forward movement from the origin position to the rendering position and the reversion operation from the rendering position to the origin position are actually performed in the movable body rendition and the like described above.

  If the detected part of the movable combination is not detected by the origin detection sensor when the second initialization process is performed, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the movable combination is for some reason (for example, transport or installation on a game island) When moving from the home position at the time, when the home position return was not possible at the previous operation (For example, at the time of presentation execution, the home position return of the movable character can not be confirmed due to step out of the motor, failure, catching, etc. If a character error (operation error) occurs that the robot can not move, etc.), if moved from the home position due to the vibration of the gaming machine, etc.) a position other than the home position (eg, operation when not detected in FIG. 12) If it is in a predetermined position between the origin position and the rendering position (such as the position shown by the black circle corresponding to the control), the non-detection operation control for returning to the origin is performed. To. When the non-detection operation control is performed, the movable part is located at a position away from the home position, and therefore, the operation is only an operation of moving the movable part toward the home position.

  The effect control CPU 120 detects the origin of the first movable portion 201A of the first movable part 200A and the second movable portion 201B of the second movable part 200B when the second initialization process is executed. When detected by the sensor, the operation control at detection is executed.

  For example, the predetermined time period from when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor until the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor until the movement of the movable combination toward the origin position is restricted. In the case where the operable range (for example, the play) is set, it may return to the origin and may stop at a position further behind than the position detected by the origin detection sensor. Therefore, even if the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, detection operation control for returning the movable part to the more accurate origin position is performed.

  In this operation control at the time of detection, it is necessary to move the movable role to a position away from the origin position and then return to the origin position in order to temporarily release the detection state of the detected portion by the origin detection sensor. It is not necessary to move the movable part to the home position after moving the movable part from the home position to the operating position at detection time which is near the home position. In other words, it reciprocates at a distance shorter than the actual operation.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes non-detection operation control or detection operation control in the second initialization process, and then executes actual operation check operation control. The operation control for checking the actual operation is the same operation as the actual operation that the movable combination actually performs in various effects and the like.

  Next, the control speed set when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation check operation control will be compared. Note that the speeds shown in FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13C are control speeds set by the effect control CPU 120 to operate each movable part, and the movable part is a movable part. Is different from the actual operating speed of That is, for example, when moving a predetermined movable combination, even when the same control speed is set to one moving section and another moving section between the origin position and the effect position, the one moving section and the other moving section When the aspect is different (for example, a section with a spring and a section without a spring, a straight section and a curved section), and when moving up and down even in the same moving section, the movable character actually moves The operating speed in the case of causing the control may be different from the control speed. In addition, even if the same control speed is set for the movable part, if there is a difference in the size, weight, operation mode, operating distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable part, the actual operation of each movable part The speeds are not always the same. When operating a plurality of movable roles with a stepping motor having the same performance, even if the same control speed is set for each movable role, the size, weight, operation mode, and operating distance of each movable role, If there is a difference in drive mechanism etc., the actual operating speeds of the movable parts are not necessarily the same.

  As shown in FIG. 13A, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the operation control for actual operation check, the set actual operation check process data corresponds to the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer. Operate the check target role based on the set control speed. Specifically, while accelerating from the origin position, it decelerates and stops at the effect position, and then accelerates from the effect position and then decelerates and stops at the origin position. That is, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation to confirm that each movable combination can operate normally, the control speed of the movable combination is low → high → low between the origin position and the effect position. Change in order. That is, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the movable body effect of each movable combination, the lowest speed (low speed) which is the first speed and the highest speed (high speed) as the second speed which is higher than the lowest speed. In order to control each movable combination to operate at a speed within the range, even when performing operation control for actual operation check, the lowest speed (low speed) which is the first speed and the second higher than the lowest speed Each movable part is controlled to operate at a speed within the range of the maximum speed (high speed) as the speed.

  That is, the minimum speed as the first speed and the maximum speed as the second speed are the actual operating speed of the movable part, and the control speed is set to be the minimum speed and the maximum speed as the operating speed. It will be done. In the following, when the movable part is operated based on the minimum control speed, it operates at the minimum speed, and when the movable part is operated based on the maximum control speed, it operates at the maximum speed Explain as.

  Here, the control speed is set such that the operation speed at the time of acceleration and deceleration of the movable part becomes the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check. In addition, when returning to the origin position after moving to the effect position, the movable role is controlled by the lowest speed in the operation control for operation check for a longer time than when stopping to the effect position. The object detection part is made to be detected by the origin detection sensor after decelerating surely.

  As shown in FIG. 13B, when executing operation control at the time of detection, the effect control CPU 120 always checks the actual operation during the period for moving from the origin position to the effect position and the period for moving from the effect position to the origin position The movable part is controlled to operate at the lowest speed (first speed) in the operation control. That is, the effect control CPU 120 is configured such that the maximum speed in the detection-time operation control as the first operation control is less than the minimum speed in the actual-operation check operation control as the second operation control (in this embodiment, the actual-operation check Control is always performed to operate the movable part based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation check operation control, so as to be the same as the lowest speed in the operation control for operation.

  In addition, in the case of operation control at the time of detection, since the operation distance of the movable combination is shorter than that of operation control for operation confirmation, the control speed when accelerating in operation control for operation confirmation, that is, operation at high speed, origin point The detection sensor may not reliably detect the detected part, or the movable part may be damaged due to an impact when the movable part is returned to the origin position from a short distance and movement is restricted. Control is performed to operate at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation check.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13C, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control, it is always moved from an arbitrary position between the origin position and the effect position to the origin position. Control is performed to operate at the lowest speed (first speed) in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. That is, the effect control CPU 120 is configured such that the maximum speed (maximum operation speed) in the non-detection operation control as the first operation control is less than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check as the second operation control (this embodiment In the example, the movable character is operated based on the lowest lowest control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation check operation control so that the lowest speed in the actual operation check operation control). Control.

  In this case, it is unclear how far away the movable part is from the origin position, so when the movable part is located in the vicinity of the origin position, acceleration when performing operation control for actual operation check When the movable part is returned to the home position when the movable part is returned to the home position, the home position detection sensor can not reliably detect the detected part, or the movable part returns to the home position from a short distance. Since there is a possibility that the movable part etc. may be damaged due to the impact when the movement is restricted, control is performed to operate at the minimum speed in the operation control for the actual operation check.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the effect control CPU 120 sets the minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control. Control is performed so that the movable part operates always at a single (constant) operating speed. And since these minimum speeds are the minimum speeds in the operation control for the actual operation check corresponding to each movable combination, and are not the operation speeds common to each movable combination, the minimum speeds in each movable combination may be different. .

  When the size, weight, operation mode, operating distance, and drive mechanism including the drive motor of the movable part of the movable part are different from one another, the actual operating speed of the movable part is different even when the same control speed is set. Also, even when different control speeds are set for each movable part, the actual operating speed of the movable part is different. As described above, the lowest speed is an operation speed based on the control speed set according to each movable role, and in order to control to operate at the lowest speed optimum for the movable role, a plurality of movable modes different in aspect It is possible to reliably detect the character at the origin position.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the effect control process (S55) of the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first causes the pending storage display in the first pending storage display area 5HL and the second pending storage display area 5HR of the effect display device 5 to correspond to the storage content of the pending storage buffer. A pending display update process for updating the display is executed (S72).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs one of the processes in S73 to S79 in accordance with the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is performed.

  Fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73): It is confirmed whether a fluctuation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer 100 or not. Specifically, it is checked in the command analysis process whether or not the fluctuation pattern designation command has been received. If the fluctuation pattern designation command has been received, the value of the effect control process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation start process (S74).

  Effect pattern fluctuation start process (S74): Control is performed so that the change of effect pattern is started. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol process (S75).

  During the effect symbol fluctuation process (S75): While controlling the switching timing and the like of each fluctuation state (the fluctuation speed) constituting the fluctuation pattern, the end of the fluctuation time is monitored. Then, when the fluctuation time is over, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation stop process (S76).

  Effect pattern fluctuation stop process (S76): Based on the fact that the effect control command (pattern confirmation command) instructing all symbol stop is received, the fluctuation of the effect pattern is stopped and the control to derive and display the display result (stop pattern) Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit display process (S77) or the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  Big hit display process (S77): After the end of the fluctuation time, control is performed to display a screen for notifying the effect display device 5 of the occurrence of a big hit. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the processing during the big hit game (S78).

  During the big hit game processing (S78): Control during the big hit game. For example, when a special winning opening open designation command or a special winning opening open designation command is received, display control of the number of rounds in the effect display device 5 is performed. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the big hit end effect processing (S79).

  Big hit end effect processing (S79): In the effect display device 5, display control is performed to notify the player that the big hit gaming state has ended. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the fluctuation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

  In addition, the CPU for effect control 120 is predetermined timing (for example, movable object effect) in the effect symbol process (S75), the big hit display process (S77), the big hit game in process (S78), the big hit game in process (S78), etc. At the timing at which the execution condition of (1) is satisfied, it is possible to execute movable body effect that moves the movable role between the origin position and the effect position.

  FIG. 15 is a view for explaining a movable combination stop symbol determination table. In the present embodiment, the effect of rotating the symbols of the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B is executed as the effect of the game, and the effect of changing to any stop symbol is executed. . In the present embodiment, this effect is executed between the start of the variation of the effect pattern executed by the effect display device 5 and the reaching state.

  The mode of the stop symbols of the first movable role product 200A and the second movable role product 200B is determined before the start of variation of the effect pattern on the effect display device 5. Specifically, a predetermined timing from when it is determined that the variation pattern designation command is received in step S73 of FIG. 14 to when variation of the rendering symbol is started in step S74 (for example, variation pattern designation in step S73) It is determined at the timing when it is determined that a command has been received.

  Referring to FIG. 15, when it is determined to be a big hit as a result of the variable display of the production design, after the production control CPU 120 temporarily stops at □ + Δ as a mode of the stop design of the movable role A mode in which re-variation and stopping at + + ((hereinafter, such a mode is described as "□ + → → + +」 ") is determined at a ratio of 20/100.

  Similarly, when it is determined to be a big hit, the CPU 120 for effect control, as a mode of the stop symbol of the movable combination, ○ + Δ → □ + □, ○ + □ → Δ + Δ, ○ + ○, □ + □, Δ + Δ, □ + Δ → ○ + □, ○ + Δ → ○ + Δ, ○ + □ → □ + Δ, ○ + □, ○ + Δ, □ + Δ, 17/100 , 13/100, 10/100, 8/100, 7/100, 6/100, 5/100, 4/100, 5/100, 3/100, 2/100.

  In addition, when it is decided that it is decided that it is dissembled, the effect control CPU120, as the feature of the stop design of the movable part, □ + Δ → ○ + ○, ○ + Δ → □ + □, ○ + □ → Δ + ,, + + ,, + + ,, + + ,, + + →, + + → to + + ,, + + → to + + ,, + + □ to □ + ,, + + ,, + + ,, + + ,, + + △ 2/100, 4/100, 3/100, 6/100, 9/100, 8/100, 9/100, 11/100, 12/100, 14/100, 16 /, respectively. Determined at a rate of 100.

  Thus, the jackpot expectation varies depending on the mode of the stop symbol of the movable part. The jackpot expectation is higher in the case of re-variation than in the case of no re-variation, and is higher in the order of ○, □, △, and higher in the same pattern than in the case of different patterns.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the operation of the movable part in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. Referring to FIG. 16, as shown in FIG. 16 (A), operation control for confirming the actual operation of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B executed in step S203 of FIG. 11 (long initial stage Before the control operation is started, the first movable portion 201A of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 201B of the second movable part 200B are at the initial position, and the initial aspect of the symbol is "○ + ○ ".

  In addition, since it is in the middle of the second initialization process, the display state of the effect display device 5 is in a state where the effect symbol is stopped (in the figure, the effect symbol of "394" is stopped and displayed), The present invention is not limited to this, and may be in a state of displaying that initialization is in progress, or in a state of displaying a video of a demonstration, and confirming whether or not the display of the effect display device 5 is normal. It may be in a state of displaying an image to do this.

  When the operation control for actual operation confirmation is started, the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are controlled to move to the previous effect position of the effect display device 5. At the time of this movement, the rotary bodies on which the symbols of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B are drawn are controlled to rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 16 (B), even after the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are moved to the effect position, the control of rotating the rotating body is continued. As shown in FIG. 16C, after that, the rotating bodies of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B are stopped a plurality of times, and any one of a plurality of different symbols (here, “Δ + Δ "" Changes to a mode that can be visually recognized from the front (for example, stopping in each symbol for a predetermined time in the order of "○ + ○" → "□ + □" → "Δ + Δ").

  As shown in FIG. 16D, after that, while the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are positioned at the effect position, the rotation operation for returning to the initial mode “○ + ○” is started To be controlled. As shown in FIG. 16E, after that, the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are returned to the initial state “○ + ○” while being positioned at the effect position.

  As shown in FIG. 16F, after that, the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are returned to the initial position while being returned to the initial state “o + o”.

  As described above, in the operation control for actual operation check during execution of the second initialization process, the first movable role object 200A and the second movable role object 200B are returned to the initial mode in the effect position, so that in the initial position In addition to the movement of the first movable role product 200A, the second movable role product 200B in the operation check by the staff of the game arcade and the operation check at the time of shipment from the factory compared with the case where it is returned Can be made easy to check.

  FIG. 17: is a 1st figure which shows an example of operation | movement of the movable role thing in movable body presentation. Referring to FIG. 17, as shown in FIG. 17 (A), the first movable combination 200A, the second movable combination, which is executed when the effect symbol in-process during step S75 of FIG. 14 is being executed. Before the movable object effect using the object 200B is performed, the first movable portion 201A of the first movable role product 200A and the second movable portion 201B of the second movable role object 200B are at the initial position, and the initial position of the symbol is The mode is "○ + ○".

  Here, since the process during the production symbol fluctuation is being executed, the display condition of the effect display device 5 is a state in which the movement symbol is variably displayed. In the present embodiment, the movable body effect is executed between the time the first effect pattern is stopped and the second effect pattern is stopped.

  When the movable body effect is started, the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are controlled to move to the effect position in front of the effect display device 5. At the time of this movement, the rotary bodies on which the symbols of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B are drawn are controlled to rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, even after the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are moved to the effect position, the control of rotating the rotating body is continued. As shown in FIG. 17C, thereafter, the rotary members of the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B are stopped, and one of the symbols (here, “「 + Δ ”) is viewed from the front. It changes to a possible mode.

  As shown in FIG. 17D, after that, the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 200B are kept in the predetermined mode (here, “○ + Δ”), and the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 200B are not moved. Control is performed to move the second movable portion 201B to the initial position.

  As shown in FIG. 17E, after the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B are returned to the initial position, a rotation operation for returning to the initial state “o + o” is started It is controlled. As shown in FIG. 17F, after that, with the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B positioned at the initial positions, the first movable role 200A and the second movable role 200B are in the initial mode. It is returned to a certain "○ + ○".

  As described above, in the movable body effect, the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B are returned to the initial position and then the rotation operation is performed to return to the initial mode, so the effect position before returning to the initial position It is possible to make it difficult for the player to misunderstand that the aspect of the first movable role object 200A and the second movable role object 200B changes again, as compared with the case where the rotational operation is performed and the initial mode is returned.

  FIG. 18 is a second diagram showing an example of the operation of the movable role in the movable body effect. In FIG. 17, as shown in FIG. 17C, the case where the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B having a relatively low jackpot expectation are changed to different modes is shown. In FIG. 18, as shown in FIG. 18C, a case where the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B having a relatively high jackpot expectation degree change to the same mode is shown.

  In FIG. 18, the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B change to the same predetermined mode as the initial mode in the effect position as shown in FIG. 18 (C), but FIG. 18 (E), As shown in FIG. 18F, after being returned to the initial position, the same predetermined aspect as the initial aspect is returned to the initial aspect.

  As described above, since the common processing is performed regardless of whether the predetermined aspect is the same as the initial aspect, complication of the processing can be avoided. In addition, there is a concern that the same predetermined aspect as the initial aspect may change to another aspect while returning to the initial position, but after returning to the initial position, the predetermined aspect is the same as the initial aspect Such concern can be avoided since the process of returning to the initial mode is executed regardless of whether it is.

  FIG. 19 is a third diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the movable role in the movable body effect. In FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, it showed about the case where the aspect of 1st movable part 200A and 2nd movable part 200B does not change again. FIG. 19 shows the case where the aspect of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B change again.

  19 (A) to 19 (C) are similar to FIGS. 17 (A) to 17 (C). After (C) of FIG. 19, as shown in (D) of FIG. 19, the rotation operation of the rotating body for rechanging the aspect of the first movable role product 200A and the second movable role object 200B in the effect position is performed Be done.

  As shown in FIG. 19E, thereafter, the rotating bodies of the first movable 00A and the second movable role 200B are stopped, and one of the symbols (here, “○ + ○”) is visible from the front. It changes to an aspect.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (F), as in FIGS. 17 (D) and 18 (D), after that, the aspect of the first movable part 200A and the second movable It is controlled to move the first movable portion 201A and the second movable portion 201B to the initial positions while maintaining the state of "+ + ○". After that, the aspects of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B are returned to the initial aspects as in FIGS. 17 (E), 17 (F), 18 (E), and 18 (F). .

  As described above, when the rotation operation is performed again at the effect position, it changes to any of the predetermined modes again. Therefore, it is possible for the player to make it difficult for the player to misunderstand that the rotating operation to be executed again in the effect position is an operation for returning the first movable role object 200A and the second movable role object 200B to the initial mode. .

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.

  (1-1) The pachinko gaming machine 1 is capable of moving the effect position in front of the effect display device 5 and the initial position, and performing the rotation operation to change the aspect, including the initial aspect and the predetermined aspect The first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B, which can be changed to the aspect of the present invention, and a CPU 120 for effect control that controls the operation of the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 120 for effect control returns to the initial mode in the effect position after becoming the predetermined mode in the effect position, and moves the operation to move to the initial position in the first movable role object 200A when the power is turned on. And the second movable part 200B is controlled to be executed as an initial operation. As shown in FIG. 17 to FIG. 19, after the effect control CPU 120 is in the predetermined mode at the effect position, it moves to the initial position as it is in the predetermined mode, and returns the operation to the initial mode at the initial position. Control to be performed as a different rendering operation.

  Thereby, in the case of the rendering operation, the first movable role product 200A and the second movable role product 200B are returned to the initial position and then returned to the initial mode, so that the effect mode before returning to the initial position is returned to the initial mode In comparison, it can be made difficult for the player to misunderstand that the aspect of the first movable role product 200A and the second movable role product 200B changes again. Also, in the case of the initial operation, the rotation operation is performed at the effect position before returning to the initial position to return to the initial mode, so at the time of operation confirmation by a game arcade clerk or operation confirmation at the time of shipment from the factory In addition to the movement of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B, the predetermined operation can be easily confirmed. As a result, the operations of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B can be suitably controlled.

  (1-2) As shown in FIG. 16, the CPU 120 for effect control executes the rotation operation of the rotating body while moving the first movable role object 200A and the second movable role object 200B from the initial position to the effect position. , In the effect position to change in a predetermined manner.

  Thereby, the movement of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B is compared with the case where the rotation operation is performed after the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B are moved to the effect position. And a sense of unity with the rotational movement. As a result, the operations of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B can be suitably controlled.

  (1-3) As shown in FIG. 15, there are a plurality of types of predetermined modes, ○, □, and Δ, and the jackpot expectation for the player differs depending on the types of predetermined modes. Thereby, the player can be made to pay attention to which predetermined mode is changed by the rotation operation.

  (1-4) As shown in FIG. 15, the movable part is a plurality of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B, and the combination of the plurality of movable parts is for the player. The big hit expectation degree of is different. Thereby, the player can be made to pay attention to what combination of predetermined modes is to be achieved by the rotation operation.

  (1-5) As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 (A), the initial mode is a mode of “o + o” that indicates an advantageous result for the player. As a result, when the initial movement is not performed, the first movable role 200A and the second movable role 200B are returned to the initial position and then returned to the initial mode suggesting advantageous results for the player. Compared to the case of returning to such an initial mode at the effect position, it is possible for the player to be less likely to misidentify.

  (1-6) As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 19, there are a plurality of types of predetermined modes, ,, □, and Δ, and the effect control CPU 120 executes a rotation operation and performs any predetermined at the effect position. After changing to the aspect, it is possible to execute the re-variation control to execute the rotation operation again to change to any predetermined aspect. As a result, when the rotation operation is performed again at the effect position, it changes to any of the predetermined modes. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to misunderstand that the rotating operation to be executed again in the effect position is an operation for returning the first movable role object 200A and the second movable role object 200B to the initial mode. .

  (2-1) The first movable part 200A in which the first movable part 201A is provided to be capable of reciprocating between the initial position and the effect position, and the second movable part 201B between the initial position and the effect position A second movable part 200B provided so as to be capable of reciprocating, a first movable part drive motor 210A as a drive means for operating the movable part, a second movable part drive motor 210B, and a first movable part The effect control CPU 120 as control means for controlling the operation of the movable role by the object drive motor 210A and the second movable role drive motor 210B, and the effect control CPU 120 is not detecting as the first operation control Operation control and operation control at the time of detection, operation control for actual operation check as the second operation control for confirming that the movable combination can be operated normally, and for performing movable body effect by the movable combination Third Operation control, and when performing operation control for actual operation confirmation, the minimum speed (low speed) which is the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed higher than the minimum speed When the movable part is controlled to operate at the speed within the range, and the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are executed, the speed below the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check as the second operation control The movable part is controlled to operate.

  In this way, in the first operation control, the movable part operates at a speed that can be stopped at any timing, so it can be safely positioned at the home position. Specifically, in non-detection operation control and detection operation control, the distance for moving the movable part to the origin position may be shorter than in actual operation check operation control, so non-detection operation control and detection By making the highest speed in the time movement control the lowest speed in the movement control for actual movement check, it is possible to reliably detect the detected part by the detection means, and the movement restriction while moving the movable part at high speed It is possible to avoid damage due to the impact.

  When non-detection operation control or detection operation control is performed, the non-detection operation control or detection is performed when control is performed so that the movable combination operates at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in actual operation check operation control. The control speed set when executing the time operation control and the minimum control speed set in the operation control for operation check may be the same control speed or different control speeds.

  (2-2) In addition, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 always performs a single (constant) operation speed preset, that is, always performs the actual operation check operation. Control is performed such that the first movable object 200A and the second movable object 200B operate at the lowest speed in control.

  By doing this, it is possible to make the speed at the time of positioning the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B at the origin position constant, and the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B Can be prevented.

  (2-3) Further, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the first movable object 200A at the lowest speed (first speed) in the actual operation check operation control. And the second movable part 200B is controlled to operate.

  By doing this, the speed is lowered excessively while securing the safe operation of the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B (for example, a speed slower than the minimum speed in the operation control for operation check) The period of non-detection operation control and detection operation control can be shortened by selecting the maximum speed (first speed) at which the system can operate safely.

  (2-4) Further, a first movable combination object origin detection sensor 220A as a detection means capable of detecting that the first movable combination 200A and the second movable combination 200B are positioned at the origin position, and the second movable If the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in S104 in the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 performs non-detection operation control in S105 to S114, and in S104 When the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, the operation control at the time of detection of S120 to S128 is executed, and when the operation control at the time of non-detection is performed, the movable object is controlled to operate at the lowest speed in the operation control at the time of detection. .

  By doing this, it is possible to grasp the presence or absence of a defect of the first movable combination object origin detection sensor 220A and the second movable combination product origin detection sensor 220B by the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control. Moreover, when performing operation control at the time of non-detection, it is unclear whether or not the movable part is near the origin position, whereas when performing operation control at the time of detection, the movable part is at the origin position Since the detection operation control is performed at a speed higher than that of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control may be performed at a speed lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control.

  (2-5) In addition, the CPU for effect control 120 detects the origin point sensor in step S109 in the second initialization process when a specific abnormality (for example, an operation abnormality generated at the time of effect execution) occurs. If the motion detection status is not in the detection state, the first movable role object 200A or the second movable position object 200B moves toward the origin position direction at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation check until the operation error determination count reaches "3" Control to do so.

  By doing this, the first movable combination 200A or the second movable part 200A is also performed in the abnormal operation performed when a specific abnormality (for example, an error such as an operation abnormality occurred at the time of performing the rendering) occurs. The movable part 200B can be operated safely. Specifically, for example, when an operation error occurs at the time of effect execution, when the second initialization processing is performed thereafter, the movable role does not return to the origin position, so the operation control at the time of non-detection It will be executed. In addition, since it is possible that the movable part does not operate in the second initialization process when an operation abnormality occurs, the first movable part 200A or the like at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation check as an abnormal operation. Control is performed so that the second movable role object 200B moves toward the home position direction.

  (2-6) In addition, when there is storage of the return-to-origin error of the target role at step S201 in the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to S220 and does not perform operation control for actual operation check. .

  By doing this, it is possible to prevent the first movable combination 200A and the second movable combination 200B from being stopped at a position other than the origin during operation control for actual operation check due to an abnormality. Specifically, for example, it is conceivable that the movable role does not operate even in the second initialization process when an operation error occurs during execution of the effect, in which case the operation control for actual operation check is executed. It is preferable not to execute the operation control for checking the actual operation because the load is only applied to the driving means and is wasted.

  (2-7) In addition, the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B as the first movable part as the movable part and the third movable part 200C as the second movable part are provided. When the control CPU 120 determines in step S102 in the second initialization process that the movable role is the origin detection target role requiring the detection of the origin, the control CPU 120 performs the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control If it is determined in step S102 that the movable combination is not an origin detection target required to perform origin detection while performing actual movement check operation control, the process proceeds to step S130 and operation control at non-detection time and detection time Do not perform operation control.

  In this way, only the necessary movable combination can perform operation control for actual operation confirmation, and the operation confirmation time by the operation control for actual operation confirmation can be shortened.

  (2-8) In addition, the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B as the first movable part as the movable part and the third movable part 200C as the second movable part are provided. When the control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control as the first operation of each of the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B, the control CPU 120 performs the operation control for each actual operation check. The movable part is controlled to operate at the lowest speed, and the operation speed of the operation control for checking the actual operation is made different between the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B.

  By doing this, it is possible to shorten the period of non-detection operation control and detection operation control while securing the safe operation of each movable combination according to the operation speed according to each movable combination. For example, even if the same control speed is set in the operation control for the actual operation check in the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B, the size, weight, operation mode, movement distance of each movable part If there is a difference in drive mechanism etc., the actual operating speed of each movable combination when performing non-detection operation control and detection operation control will be different.

  Specifically, in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, even when the same control speed (the minimum control speed set in the operation control for actual operation check) is set, among the plurality of movable roles The actual operating speed of the heavy mobile part is slower than the actual operating speed of the small mobile part. In addition, when the movable part is raised, the actual operating speed is slower than when the movable part is lowered. In addition, when a spring or the like that biases the movable portion in the rendering direction is provided as a drive mechanism, when moving the spring in a direction against the biasing force in a compressed state, the biasing force in a state in which the spring is stretched The actual operating speed is slower than when moving in the direction to resist. As described above, in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, when the movable combination is controlled such that the movable combination operates at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation, It is preferable to set an individual minimum control speed in each operation check for actual operation check in consideration of the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism and the like.

  For example, the first movable portion and the second movable portion are disposed back and forth so that the second movable portion overlaps the front side of the first movable portion when viewed from the player when moving toward the origin position. When one of the first movable portion and the second movable portion is controlled together when performing any of non-detection operation control, detection operation control, and actual operation check operation control, It is preferable to control so that the operation speed (minimum speed) of 1 movable part and 2nd movable part may differ. By doing this, temporarily, the power is turned on in a state in which the first movable portion and the second movable portion are respectively moved to positions away from the origin position for some reason, and in the second initialization process of S51. When the non-detection operation control of both the first movable part and the second movable part is executed together, the operation speeds (minimum speeds) of both the first movable part and the second movable part are controlled to be the same. Then, it becomes difficult to see the situation in which the first movable part is hidden by the second movable part and moves to the origin position, but the first movable part and the second movable part are controlled to have different minimum speeds. Since the movable part and the second movable part shift when moving, it is easy to confirm the home position return operation of each of the first movable part and the second movable part.

  In addition, even in the case where the first movable portion and the second movable portion larger (or longer) than the first movable portion are provided, the operation speeds (minimum speeds) of the first movable portion and the second movable portion are different. It is preferable to control the By doing this, for example, at least in any of non-detection operation control, detection operation control, and actual operation confirmation operation control of the first movable portion which is smaller (or shorter) than the second movable portion and therefore inconspicuous Since the speed is larger (or longer) than the first movable part, the second movable part can be made slower than the lowest speed in any of the non-detection operation control, detection operation control, and actual operation check operation control that is noticeable The operation of each of the first movable portion and the second movable portion can be easily confirmed.

  As described above, when the first movable portion and the second movable portion different from the first movable portion are provided, the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation of the first movable portion and the second movable portion are performed. It is preferable to control so that the operation speed (minimum speed) in the operation control for operation confirmation is different. Incidentally, when controlling so that the operating speeds (minimum speeds) of the first movable part and the second movable part are different as described above, the non-detection operation control of each of the first movable part and the second movable unit, the operation control at detection time The minimum control speed set in the operation control for actual operation confirmation may be different or may be the same.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Be

  (1) In the embodiment described above, as described with reference to FIG. 15, the effect of causing the symbols of the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B to rotate and changing them to any of the symbols However, it was made to be carried out after the change of the production | presentation pattern performed with the production | presentation display apparatus 5 is started until it will be in a reach state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and this effect may be executed at another timing. For example, it is executed between the time when the fluctuation display of the effect design reaches the reach state and the fluctuation display is stopped. May be executed during the jackpot gaming state.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 15, the jackpot expectation varies depending on the mode of the stop symbol of the movable part. That is, the mode of the stop symbol of the movable part is to indicate the jackpot expectation. However, the advantage suggested by the stop symbol aspect of the movable part is not limited to the jackpot expectation, but may be the expectation for reaching the reach state, or may be the expectation for becoming the probability variation jackpot. The expectation may be a probability change state (V probability change) on condition that a prize (V prize) to a specific area (V area) in the big hit is or an expectation degree to be a pseudo-link. A pseudo-continuous is an effect display that is an effect display that makes it appear that a plurality of fluctuations corresponding to a plurality of holding memories are being performed continuously, although the fluctuation is originally one time corresponding to one holding memory. Is an abbreviation that stands for

  (3) In the embodiment described above, as described with reference to FIGS. 16C to 16E, in the operation control for checking the actual operation, the rotating body is stopped a plurality of times at the rendering position, It was made to change to a predetermined mode of. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the operation control for actual operation check, as in the actual presentation, in the case of performing only once or changing again, it is stopped only a predetermined number of times as in the actual presentation. It may be changed to

  (4) In the embodiment described above, as described with reference to FIGS. 18D to 18F, even if the predetermined mode after changing at the effect position is the same as the initial mode, It was made to execute the rotation operation to return. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the predetermined mode changed at the presentation position is the same as the initial mode, the rotation operation for returning to the initial mode may not be performed. This can reduce unnecessary operations.

  (5) In the embodiment described above, the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B can be changed in aspect by the rotation of the internal rotary body on which the symbol is drawn. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may include a display device capable of displaying an image such as an LCD, and the aspect may be changed by changing the design on this display device. Also, it may be possible to change by moving to the rendering position and then moving to the left and right.

  Further, the movable part itself such as the first movable part 200A, the second movable part 200B, etc. is configured to be deformable (for example, deformed so as to open from the closed state up and down etc.), and the movable part is deformed The aspect may be changed. In this case, in the initialization process, the movable character is controlled to move from the initial position to the rendering position while changing from the initial configuration to the advantageous configuration advantageous to the player, and the rendering position is changed to the advantageous configuration. After returning to the initial mode in the effect position, it is returned to the initial position. Further, at the time of presentation, the movable character is controlled to move from the initial position to the presentation position while changing from the initial mode to the advantageous mode advantageous to the player, and changes to the advantageous mode at the presentation position. After returning to, the initial position is changed to the initial mode.

  (6) In the embodiment described above, it is assumed that the movable movable character is the two of the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B, but the invention is not limited thereto. One or three There may be more than one.

  (7) In the embodiment described above, the initial mode is included in the predetermined mode in which the movable roles such as the first movable role 200A and the second movable role 200B can be changed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the initial aspect may not be included in the predetermined aspect. In this case, the initial mode is an aspect which does not indicate a state advantageous to the player.

  (8) In the embodiment described above, it is assumed that the predetermined mode is a combination of symbols such as “□” “□” “Δ”. The present invention is not limited to this, and a combination of "good" and "machine" (in this case, suggesting that it is a chance to be advantageous for the player), a combination of "hard" and "heat" (In this case, it indicates that the expectation is relatively high for the player to be in an advantageous state), the combination of “fake” and “like” (in this case, it indicates that the expectation is to be false) A combination of “stands up” and “directs” (in this case, it indicates that there is a high degree of expectation for reaching reach (“ritsu” when written in kanji)), and combinations of marks such as face marks, etc. It may be another aspect.

  (9) In the embodiment described above, the initial position is a position at which a change in the aspect of the movable part such as the first movable part 200A and the second movable part 200B is not visible. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the initial position may be a position where the change of the aspect of the movable part is difficult to visually recognize as compared with the effect position. In this case, the mode of the movable part is not changed to the predetermined mode at the initial position. Further, the initial position may be regarded as a position where the area in which the display such as the effect display device 5 and the movable combination overlap is smaller than the effect position.

  (10) In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, when movable movable objects such as the first movable character 200A and the second movable character 200B move from the initial position to the effect position In addition, it is made to move while performing the rotation operation to change the aspect. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the movable combination is moved from the initial position to the effect position, the movable combination may be moved without executing the predetermined operation for changing the aspect such as the rotation operation. In this case, it is preferable that the initial mode is not an advantageous mode for the player because the game is moved to the rendering position as it is in the initial mode.

(11) The above-described embodiment can be understood as the following invention.
A gaming machine capable of playing games,
A movable body that can be changed to any aspect including an initial aspect and a predetermined aspect;
And control means for controlling the movement of the movable body,
The control means is configured to perform an operation of a first pattern that makes it possible to visually recognize that the mode of the movable body as an initial operation of the movable body at the time of power activation changes to the initial mode, and It is controllable to perform the change of the aspect to the initial aspect with the operation of the second pattern of the invisible or invisible.

  As a result, in the case of the rendering operation, it is difficult or hard to visually recognize that the mode of the movable body changes to the initial mode, so it can be difficult for the player to misunderstand that the mode of the movable body changes again. Further, in the case of the initial operation, it is possible to visually recognize that the aspect of the movable body changes to the initial aspect, so that the movable at the time of operation confirmation by an attendant of the game arcade or at the time of operation confirmation at the time of shipment In addition to the movement of the body, it can be made easy to confirm that the aspect of the movable body changes to the initial aspect. As a result, the movement of the movable body can be suitably controlled.

  (12) For example, in the above embodiment, as an example of the movable combination, the first movable combination 200A rotatable between the origin position and the presentation position, and linear movement between the origin position and the presentation position Although the form which applied the 2nd movable character 200B and the 3rd movable character 200C which can rotate centering on a rotating shaft was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and these movable character The operation mode (e.g., movement direction or rotation direction) or the number of installation is not limited to the above and can be changed variously. In addition, a movable combination that operates in an operation mode other than the above may be applied.

  (13) Further, in the above embodiment, the first movable object 200A and the second movable object 200B operable between the origin position and the effect position are applied as the origin target character, and the origin non-target character is Although the form which applied the 3rd movable character 200C was illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and movable character such as the 3rd movable character 200C which does not operate between the origin position and the rendering position Also in this case, by setting the origin position at the rotational position of the third movable portion 502, it may be set as the origin object role.

  (14) In the above embodiment, the non-detection operation control or detection operation control is executed as the first operation control for one movable combination in the second initialization process. The invention is not limited to this, and at least only non-detection operation control may be performed. When only the non-detection operation control can be performed, the non-detection operation control may not be performed when the movable part is detected by the origin detection sensor in the second initialization process.

  (15) In the above embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the effect control operation control as the second operation control is performed. Although the form of controlling the movable part to operate at the same speed as the lowest speed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the second operation control It is sufficient to control the movable part to operate at a speed equal to or less than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check as, for example, the movable part at a lower operating speed than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation It may be controlled to operate.

  (16) Further, in the above embodiment, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control which is the first operation control, a single operation speed which is always preset (minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check) In the embodiment, the movable part is operated, that is, the movable part is controlled to always operate at a constant speed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. At the time of recovery, control may be performed so as to gradually decelerate from the lowest speed in the operation control for operation check, and to operate at a speed lower than the minimum speed. That is, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control which is the first operation control, if the speed is lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control, the speed is made variable in a predetermined moving period. It is also good.

  (17) Further, in the above embodiment, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control which is the first operation control, the movable part is at the same operation speed (minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the maximum speed in the non-detection operation control is controlled to be lower than the minimum speed in the detection operation control. If it is set, for example, the movable combination may be operated at different operation speeds in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control.

  (18) Further, in the above embodiment, when the movable abnormality is not detected by the detection means when a specific abnormality such as an error occurs, that is, the origin is detected in step S109 in the second initialization process. When the sensor is not in the detection state, the first movable combination 200A or the second movable combination 200B is directed toward the home position at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation check until the operation error determination count reaches “3”. Although the embodiment in which the control for moving is repeatedly performed is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and a speed lower than the minimum speed in the operation control at detection, for example, set for an error, relatively large torque is obtained The movable part may be controlled to operate at a special speed which is a low speed.

  (19) Further, in the above embodiment, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S124 in the second initialization process, that is, the operation object is not positioned at the origin position (initial position) In this case, the processing of S122 to S127 is repeated until the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, based on the set process data, based on the minimum control speed set in the operation control for operation check. Although the mode for performing operation control of the movable part at detection is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the case where the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S124 in the second initialization process. , Moving the movable part from that point in the direction of the home position based on the minimum control speed set in the operation control for actual operation check The may be executed.

  (20) Further, in the above embodiment, the first movable character 200A, the second movable character 200B, and the third movable character 200C are provided as the plurality of movable characters, and in the second initialization process, at the time of non-detection An example in which the first movable part 200A, the second movable part 200B and the third movable part 200C are applied as movable objects to be subjected to operation control, detection operation control and operation control for actual operation check However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in the second initialization process, a movable combination to be subjected to non-detection operation control, detection operation control, and operation control for actual operation confirmation is The present invention is not limited to one movable character such as one movable character 200A, a second movable character 200B, and a third movable character 200C as an execution target, but, for example, a plurality of movable portions in which one movable character can operate Each of these movable parts Detection operation control, the detection operation control, the execution target of the actual operation confirmation operation control, sequential non-detection operation control each movable portion, the detection operation control, may be caused to operate the control check actual operation.

  (21) Further, in the above embodiment, in the operation control for checking the actual operation in the second initialization process, the CPU for effect control 120 accelerates and decelerates the movable part in the forward operation and the return operation, respectively, to change from low speed to high speed. → Although the control mode has been exemplified to control from low speed to stop, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation speed in the operation control at the time of movable object rendering and the operation control in actual operation check is the above embodiment. For example, low speed and high speed may be repeated a plurality of times such as low speed → high speed → low speed → high speed → low speed → stop, and the operation speed may be low speed → medium speed → high speed. It may be controlled to change in order.

  Further, control may be performed so that the change mode of the operation speed and the minimum speed are different between the forward operation and the return operation. When the minimum speed is different between the forward operation and the return operation, the maximum speed in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control is set to the lower one of the forward operation and the return operation in the actual operation check operation control. The speed may be set to be lower than the minimum speed.

  (22) Further, in the above embodiment, in the operation control for checking the actual operation in the second initialization process, the CPU for effect control 120 performs control to accelerate and decelerate the movable role to change the operation speed. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mobile object may be controlled to operate at a single operating speed. As described above, when the movable part is controlled to operate at a single operating speed, the single operating speed is the lowest speed in the operation control for the actual operation check. The maximum speed in the time movement control may be set to be a speed lower than the minimum speed.

  (23) Further, in the above embodiment, the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control as the first operation have been exemplified in the second initialization processing at the activation of the pachinko gaming machine 1, The present invention is not limited to this, and timings other than the start time (for example, after execution of error processing including character errors and other various errors, at the start of fluctuation of symbols, execution of movable character effects, etc. It may be carried out later.

  (24) In the above embodiment, as the order data of the movable part in the second initialization process, the first movable part 200A → the second movable part 200B → the third movable part 200C in the non-detection operation Although the control or detection operation control and the operation control for actual operation check are illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this and the order is arbitrary, and each operation is performed in an order other than the above. You may do it. Alternatively, any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the operation confirmation operation control for two or more of the plurality of movable combination objects may be concurrently executed.

  (25) In addition, although the embodiment has been illustrated in which the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed after performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control for all the movable roles, the present invention is limited thereto After performing the non-detection operation control or detection operation control of one movable character and the operation control for actual operation confirmation, and the other non-detection operation control or detection operation control and actual operation confirmation operation. Control may be performed.

  (26) In the above embodiment, the process data for checking the actual operation is described as having the same operation content as the operation at the time of the actual rendering described, but the present invention is limited to this. The operation control for these actual operation confirmations may not be completely the same operation, as long as it includes all the operations of the operation speed in the actual presentation, for example, a plurality of operations having different parts of the operation. In the case where there is a rendering operation of the above, the process data for actual operation confirmation may be described in which a confirmation-only operation incorporating all the different rendering operations is described.

  (27) In the above embodiment, the operation error determination number in S113, S127, and S213 is "3". However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation error determination number is The number of times of operation error determination in each of S113, S127, and S213 may be different.

  (28) In the above embodiment, the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the operation control for actual operation confirmation are executed in the second initialization process, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the execution timing of the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control can be set arbitrarily. For example, after the end of the movable object effect or when the variation display of the symbol is started, the demonstration It may be performed when the effect is performed.

  (29) Further, although the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of a gaming machine in the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, gaming balls having a predetermined number of balls are used. The number of balls that are internally enclosed in the gaming machine so as to be able to circulate and is lent out in response to the player's request for lending, and the number of prize balls awarded in accordance with winnings are added, while the number of gaming balls used in the game The present invention is also applicable to a so-called enclosed game machine in which is stored after being subtracted. In these enclosed game machines, not the gaming balls but points or points are awarded to the player, so the points or points given are the game values.

  (30) Further, in the above-described embodiment, a pachinko game machine is applied as an example of a game machine, but for example, a game is started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a game value The variation display result is derived on the variation display device capable of variation display of a plurality of types of symbols that can be identified and each one game is ended, and the variation display result derived on the variation display device The present invention is also applicable to a slot machine in which winning is made possible.

  (31) Further, in the above-described embodiment, a spherical gaming ball (pachinko ball) is applied as an example of gaming media, but the invention is not limited to spherical gaming media. The game media of

Do.)
In the first operation control, the movable body is controlled to operate at a speed equal to or less than the first speed in the second operation control (for example, when the effect control CPU 120 is not detected as the first operation control) When performing operation control and operation control at detection, the speed below the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check as the second operation control (in this example, the same speed as the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation check) The part that controls the movable part to operate).

Control to move toward the home position).

  According to this feature, the movable body can be operated safely even in abnormal operation control.

(6) In the gaming machine of (5),
The control means performs control such that the second operation control is not performed even if the movable body is detected by the detection means by the abnormal operation control (for example, the effect control CPU 120 performs the second initialization) When there is storage of the return-to-origin error of the target combination at step S201 in the processing, the process proceeds to S220 and a portion where operation control for actual operation confirmation is not performed).

  According to this feature, it is possible to prevent the movable body from stopping at a position other than the origin during the second operation control due to an abnormality.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6) above,
As the movable body, it has a first movable body (for example, a first movable part 200A, a second movable part 200B) and a second movable body (for example, a third movable part 200C).
The control means performs the first operation control and the second operation control for the first movable body, but does not perform the first operation control for the second movable body. If, for example, the effect control CPU 120 determines in step S102 in the second initialization process that the movable role is not an origin detection target role requiring origin detection, the process proceeds to step S130. Part that does not perform operation control and detection operation control).

  According to this feature, only the necessary movable body can perform the second operation control, and the operation confirmation time by the second operation control can be shortened.

(8) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (7) above,
As the movable body, it has a first movable body (for example, a first movable part 200A) and a second movable body (for example, a second movable part 200B),
In the first operation control of each of the first movable body and the second movable body, the control means performs control such that the movable body operates at the first speed in the second operation control of each of the first movable body and the second movable body. (For example, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation of each, the movable service object at the lowest speed in the operation control for each actual operation check) Control the part to operate),
The speeds in the first operation control are different between the first movable body and the second movable body (for example, even if the same control speed is set in the first operation control corresponding to each movable combination, each movable If there is a difference in the size, weight, movement mode, movement distance, drive mechanism, etc. of the accessory, the actual operating speed of each movable accessory is not necessarily the same.

  According to this feature, it is possible to shorten the period of the first operation control while securing the safety operation of each movable body by the operation speed according to each movable body.
