[2-9. Locking mechanism of outer frame side upper hinge member]
Next, in the outer frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, a lock mechanism for the main frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame 4 by the lock member 66 in the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. Refer to the description. FIG. 16A is an enlarged perspective view showing a state where the main frame side upper hinge member of the main body frame is removed from the outer frame side upper hinge member of the outer frame, and FIG. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the state by which the main body side upper hinge member is attached to the upper hinge member. FIG. 17 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the lock member in the outer frame.

  When the lock member 66 in the outer frame 2 is attached to the front extension portion 62 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 (normal state), the tip of the elastic portion 66 c is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hanging portion 65. In addition, the lock body 66a is configured to close a part of the bearing groove 63 bent in a square shape, and the distal end portion of the lock body 66a does not close the deepest part of the bearing groove 63. A space in which the main frame upper hinge pin 622 of the main frame side upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame 4 can be inserted is formed at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63.

  The support mechanism of the body frame upper hinge pin 622 using the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 and the lock member 66 in this embodiment is such that the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63 and the front end of the lock body 66a. The right side surface of the lock body 66 is in close contact with the right hanging portion 65 (in this state, there is a slight gap between the right side surface at the front end of the lock body 66a and the right hanging portion 65 so that it is in contact with the right hanging surface 65). In the normal shaft support state, the center of the hinge pin 622 on the body frame located at the deepest portion of the bent bearing groove 63 and the front end surface of the lock body 63 are opposed to each other in an oblique direction. It is in the state.

  In this normal shaft support state, the main body frame hinge pin 622 supporting the heavy main body frame 4 is in contact with the front end portion of the bearing groove 63. Almost no load is applied from 622 to the front end surface of the lock member 66a. That is, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. In addition, since the front end face of the lock main body 66a is formed in a circular arc shape, when the operation portion 66b is turned to turn the lock member 66, the lock member 66 is smoothly turned. Yes. Further, in the drawing, the arc center of the front end face of the lock main body 66a is taken as the center of the mounting hole 66d (the rotation center of the lock member 66).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in a direction in which the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is removed along the inclination of the bearing groove 63 formed in a square shape, the acting force is applied to the arcuate front end surface of the lock body 66a. F is a component force F1 (normal direction of the arc of the front end surface of the lock main body 66a) acting on a contact portion between the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame and the arc-shaped front end surface, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame and the bearing groove 63. The component force F1 is directed to the center (rotation center of the lock member 66) of the mounting hole 66d (mounting screw 67) when divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface on one side The moment of rotating the front end of the lock main body 66 a of the lock member 66 in the direction away from the right hanging portion 65 does not act, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is connected to the front end of the lock main body 66 a of the lock member 66 and the bearing groove 63. Inside Clamped state is maintained between the.

  For this reason, even in a normal shaft support state or a state where the acting force of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame is applied to the lock member 66, the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 is not constantly loaded, and is integrally formed of synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the elastic portion 66c, and to prevent the main frame upper hinge pin 622 from coming off from the bearing groove 63 for a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is rotated in the direction to move to the right, the front right side of the lock main body 66a abuts on the hanging portion 65 to further Since it does not rotate, the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension 62.

  Even if the shape of the front end surface of the lock body 66a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment is not generated by the action of the component force F1 or the front end portion of the lock member 66 faces the outside of the front protrusion 62. By placing the rotation center of the lock member 66 (the shaft fixed by the mounting screw 67) at the position where the rotational moment to be rotated occurs, no load is always applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. Even when the member 66 rotates, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66 a just abuts on the hanging portion 65, so the locking member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension portion 62.

  When the main body frame hinge pin 622 of the main body frame side upper hinge member 620 is supported by the bearing groove 63 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60, the main body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63 from the open side of the bearing groove 63. Insert the hinge pin 622. When the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63, the hinge pin 622 on the body frame comes into contact with the right side surface of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66, and the front end of the lock body 66a is against the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates about the mounting screw 67 so as to move to the left. As a result, the lock main body 66 a that has closed the bearing groove 63 is retracted, the bearing groove 63 is opened, and the main body frame hinge pin 622 can be moved to the deepest portion (front end) of the bearing groove 63.

  When the body frame hinge pin 622 is moved to the deepest part of the bearing groove 63, the contact between the body frame hinge pin 622 and the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is released, and the lock body 66a is urged by the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates so that the front end of the lock member moves to the right, and the lock member 66 returns to the normal state. As a result, the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is accommodated in a space in front of the front end of the lock body 66 a in the bearing groove 63, and the hinge pin 622 on the body frame is rotatable at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. It is held (locked) in the state.

  When removing the main frame upper hinge pin 622 from the inside of the bearing groove 63, the operating portion 66b of the locking member 66 is operated to turn the locking member 66 so that the front end of the lock main body 66a moves to the left. The lock main body 66a is retracted from the bearing groove 63 against the biasing force of 66c. As a result, the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63 and the opening communicate with each other, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame can be removed from the bearing groove 63.

[2-10. Crime prevention mechanism and ball biting prevention mechanism at the outer frame side lower hinge member]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the ball engagement prevention for preventing the game ball from being sandwiched between the crime prevention mechanism and the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 at the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 of the outer frame 2. The mechanism will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19. Fig.18 (a) is AA sectional drawing in FIG. 1, (b) is sectional drawing which shows the state which opened the main body frame with the door frame with respect to the outer frame in (a). FIG. 19 (a) is an explanatory view showing a state in which the main frame is opened with respect to the outer frame by providing a guide vane at a portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member, and FIG. 19 (b) is an outside in the embodiment of (a) It is explanatory drawing shown in the state which closed the main body frame with respect to the frame, and (c) is a state which provided the induction blade of the embodiment different from (a) and (b), and opened the main body frame to the outer frame. (D) is explanatory drawing shown in the state which closed the main body frame with respect to the outer frame in embodiment of (c).

  In the assembled state, the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is attached to the outer frame 2 at the left end in the front view on the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50. The horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is mounted in a state of being placed near the left end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50 and the upper surface of the rear extension portion 51. The curtain plate member 50 includes a standing wall portion 54 that rises upward from the rear end of the upper surface. As a result, even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire enters the rear side of the main body frame 4 (pachinko machine 1) through the gap between the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the main body frame side lower hinge member 640. Since the tip of the incorrect tool abuts on the upstanding wall portion 54 extending upward from the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, it is possible to prevent the incorrect tool from being inserted further backward. It is possible to prevent an illegal act from being performed via the outer frame side lower hinge member 70.

  In addition, since the upper end of the standing wall portion 54 is provided with the return portion 55 extending forward, when the incorrect tool in contact with the upper wall portion 54 is bent upward, the end of the incorrect tool by the return portion 55 Can be folded further forward, so that unauthorized tools can be prevented from entering the rear side of the main body frame 4, and an illegal act is performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. Can be reliably blocked.

  By the way, when the standing wall portion 54 extending upward is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the main body frame 4 is opened relative to the outer frame 2 as shown in FIG. When the gaming ball falls onto the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 (horizontal portion 71) in the state where it is, the gaming ball on the horizontal portion 71 is discharged rearward from the rear end of the horizontal portion 71 by the presence of the standing wall portion 54. There is a risk of being caught between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 because it is not. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the discharge hole 74 and the right discharge hole 52 through which the game ball can pass through the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the rear extension portion 51 of the curtain plate member 50. Since the left discharge hole 53 is provided, the gaming balls on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 can be discharged downward from the discharge hole 74 etc. Between the game ball and the game ball can be reduced.

  Therefore, when the game ball is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the periphery of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is damaged, or the main body frame 4 is not closed in a normal state. A gap is created between the main unit frame 4 and the gap, which can be used to prevent fraudulent acts.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described configuration, when the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, the game ball dropped on the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is discharged from the discharge hole 74 or the like. In order to facilitate this, as shown in FIG. 19, the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 may be provided with guide vanes 95 and 96 for guiding the game balls to the discharge holes 74 and the like.

  More specifically, the guide blade 95 shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B has a distal end protruding outward from the main body frame 4 and a base end side below the rear end of the left side surface of the main body frame 4. It is pivotally mounted around an axis extending up and down at the side, and is formed in a rod shape. The guide blade 95 is urged by a spring (not shown) so as to rotate counterclockwise in plan view. Then, as shown in FIG. 19A, in the state where the main frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, the guide vane 95 is slanted slightly rearward than the right angle with respect to the left side surface of the main frame 4. The pivoting end in the counterclockwise direction is restricted so as to be in the state of protruding in Accordingly, from this state, the guide vane 95 can be rotated so that the tip end side moves rearward by resisting the biasing force of the spring.

  When the main body frame 4 is turned in the closing direction from the state in which the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2, the tip of the guide vane 95 contacts the right side surface of the rising portion 72 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. The guide vane 95 contacts the urging force of a spring (not shown) and pivots in the direction (clockwise direction in plan view) in which the tip moves rearward around the base end side. Then, when the main body frame 4 is further rotated in the closing direction, the guide blade 95 is further rotated to a state in which it protrudes rearward from the main body frame 4, and the guide blade 95 is not disturbed with respect to the outer frame 2. And the main body frame 4 can be closed (see FIG. 19 (b)).

  When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, if a game ball falls on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 70, the guide blade 95 protrudes diagonally left rearward from the rear end of the main body frame 4. Therefore, the game ball dropped between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 can be moved to the right by the left side surface of the main body frame 4 and the guide vane 95, and the game ball to the rear side of the main body frame 4 The rolling can be suppressed, and the game ball can be guided to the discharge hole 74 by moving the game ball to the right, and the game ball can be discharged from the discharge hole 74. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being caught between the outer frame 2 and the main frame 4.

  When the main body frame 4 is opened relative to the outer frame 2, the guide vane 95 is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction in plan view to the state of FIG. 19A by the biasing force of a spring not shown. . Therefore, the guide blades 95 of this embodiment rotate (move) with the opening / closing operation of the main body frame 4.

  On the other hand, the guide vanes 96 shown in FIGS. 19C and 19D are attached at both ends to the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 as shown in the figure, and the main body frame 4 is opened relative to the outer frame 2 At the same time, it is formed in a fan-shaped bellows-like shape which is expanded in a fan-like shape and inclined so as to become lower toward the rear and is folded when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. The guide blades 96 move in accordance with the opening / closing operation of the main body frame 4 in the same manner as the guide blades 95 described above.

  When the game ball falls onto the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 when the main frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, the guide vanes 96 are expanded between the outer frame 2 and the main frame 4 The fallen game balls can be guided by rolling to the rear side of the main body frame 4 by the guide vanes 96, and from the discharge holes 74 and the right discharge holes 53 that are opened on the rear side of the main body frame 4. The game ball can be discharged downward. Therefore, the guiding vanes 96 can also prevent the game ball from being caught between the outer frame 2 and the main frame 4.

  According to the present embodiment, the game balls on the horizontal portion 71 can be guided to the discharge hole 74 by the guide vanes 95 and 96, so that the game ball is discharged from the discharge hole 74 without increasing the discharge hole 74. It is possible to suppress the decrease in the strength of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 by increasing the size of the hole (the discharge hole 74) penetrating the horizontal portion 71. Therefore, even if a tool for performing cheating is inserted between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 has sufficient strength, so the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is hard to be distorted, and it can suppress that a crevice is formed in a part of outer frame side lower hinge member 70, and it can prevent that a fraudulent act is performed.

(First embodiment of door frame)
[Left / Right panel]
As shown in FIG. 215, the door frame 3 in the present embodiment has a pair of side overhangs (left overhang panel) projecting to the player side on the left and right sides of the door frame 3 so as to sandwich the game area 5a. 490, a right overhanging panel 491) is provided.
The side overhang in this example has a hollow structure, and a sheet (not shown) on which a decorative design corresponding to the model of the gaming machine is drawn can be inserted. Further, the left overhang panel 490 has a left outer surface window portion 490a and a left inner surface window portion 490b.
Moreover, the "side out part" in the specification corresponds to the "out side part" as described in a claim.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 217, the left outer surface accommodating portion 492 corresponding to the left outer surface window portion 490a is a sheet having a predetermined shape from the left outer surface sheet insertion port 493 formed in the upper portion of the left projecting panel 490. By inserting the sheet, the sheet can be visually recognized from the outside of the left overhanging panel 490. Further, by inserting a sheet having a predetermined shape into a left inner surface accommodating portion 497 corresponding to the left inner surface window 490b from a left inner surface sheet insertion port 498 formed at the upper portion of the left extending panel 490, a left extending panel is obtained. The sheet is visible from the inside of 490. Further, on the upper portion of the left overhang panel 490, a lid portion 499 for opening and closing the left outer surface sheet insertion port 493 and the left inner surface sheet insertion port 498 is provided. FIG. 217 (A) shows a state in which the cover 499 is in the open state, and FIG. 217 (B) shows a state in which the cover 499 is in the closed state. By being in the open state, the sheet can be inserted into and removed from the left outer surface sheet insertion port 493 and the left inner surface sheet insertion port 498. The opening and closing of the lid portion is vertically slidable, and may be manually opened and closed (sliding) from the outside, or opened and closed by drive control by a peripheral control board described later in order to prohibit the player from opening it. In this case, the operation unit (described later) disposed on the back surface of the door frame 3 may detect an operation on the open / close switch relating to the lid 499 to open or close it. The structure is Although not shown, the LED board A on which a plurality of LEDs for illuminating the sheet inserted in the left outer housing 492 is disposed in the left overhang panel 490 and the left inner housing 497 There is provided an LED substrate B on which a plurality of LEDs that illuminate the sheet are arranged. Further, the right overhang panel 491 also has the right outer surface window 491a, the right inner surface window 491b, the housing portions and sheet insertion openings corresponding to the respective windows, and various LED substrates in the same manner as the left overhang panel 490. doing.

  With the above configuration, even if the game board is replaced, for example, by replacement of a new game, it is possible to make the side overhang of the game machine specific only by replacing the sheet with one corresponding to the newly installed game board. Therefore, it is not necessary to replace all the side protrusions every time the game board is replaced, and the decoration of the side protrusions can be renewed at a low cost. Furthermore, the side overhang has a structure in which the sheet can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, even if the game player in the game hall does not move to the front of the gaming machine, for example, if looking from the entrance of the island where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, it can be understood at a glance where the pachinko machine 1 is installed In addition to the above, compared to a gaming machine not equipped with side overhang, the advertising effect is high as the side overhang protrudes forward, and the possibility of selecting the pachinko machine 1 is improved. .

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 218, since it is possible to insert a sheet having different decorations on the outside and the inside of the side overhang, when viewing the island installation along the aisle, depending on the angle, the right outer surface Since the sheets disposed in the window portion 491a and the left inner surface window portion 490b are arranged side by side, a sheet drawn with a pattern imitating a "star" drawn on each of the right outer surface window portion 491a and the left inner surface window portion 490b Since they are combined and appear as a single pattern, the power of the design applied to the sheet is greater than when one sheet is viewed, and the advertising effect can be further enhanced.

  Furthermore, when a plurality of pachinko machines 1 are juxtaposed on the island facility of the game hall, a large number of side overhangs appear side by side like a stream and exhibit spectacular appearance. When the island installation is viewed along the aisle by inserting a sheet drawn with a pattern imitating a "star" into the accommodation portion corresponding to each window portion of the side overhang, it is inserted in a plurality of side overhangs The sheets are arranged side by side, and it looks like a pattern of a large starry sky is drawn. In this way, the entire island installation in which a plurality of pachinko machines 1 are juxtaposed is easily configured to be easily noticed by hall customers, and has a decorative property that improves the possibility of selecting pachinko machines 1 over other gaming machines. Can do.

  The side extension in this example is provided with movable means (described later) that can move (operate) with respect to the door frame 3, and the functions and effects of the side extension are made different between before movement and after movement. . Examples of movable types include slide movement and rotational movement. In this example, the side overhang is configured to slide up and down, and the side overhang slides downward as shown in FIG. The state in which the side overhang is slid upward as shown in FIG. 216 is the state before the movement (fixed position).

For example, when the pachinko machine 1 is not played by the player using a structure in which the side overhang slides in the vertical direction, the side overhang is temporarily moved to another game machine by sliding the side overhang upward. Even if it is provided, since the side overhang is positioned above it, the side overhang of the pachinko machine 1 is relatively noticeable, and the advertising effect can be enhanced compared to the case where the side overhang is in the fixed position. As a result, the possibility that the pachinko machine 1 is selected by the player can be improved.
Further, in this example, the above-mentioned “when not playing” can be exemplified as “demo state”. The demonstration state in the present embodiment is a so-called customer waiting state, which is started by "a state in which the variation display of the special symbol described later is not performed is over for a predetermined time". It is a power saving mode that suppresses light emission of LEDs or the like that illuminate the game area 5a and reduces power consumption.
The demo state is configured to end when a special symbol change display described later is performed.

  It should be noted that the condition in which the side overhang in this example slides upward corresponds to the start of the above-described demonstration state, and the condition in which the side overhang in this example slides downward (in a fixed position) is the above-described demo state. Is equivalent to ending.

In addition, as "when not being played", it is detected that there is no game ball in the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202 of the pachinko machine 1 as well as in the above-mentioned demonstration state, and "the player and the handle lever The state after the predetermined time has passed since the time when the contact to 504 is not detected can be exemplified. In this case, it is necessary to provide a detection sensor capable of detecting the presence of the gaming ball at a predetermined position of the upper tray 201 or the lower tray 202.
According to such a configuration, it can be known at a glance whether the pachinko machine is currently playing or not, as well as the advertising effect improvement. For example, when the player leaves the seat temporarily due to a meal break or a toilet break, although a state in which a touch on the handle lever 504 is not detected continues, a state where the game ball is borrowed from the ball rental machine (upper plate 201 or Since it is detected that the game ball is in the lower tray 202), the side extension slide does not slide downward and it is possible to prevent other players from accidentally starting the game. .

  Furthermore, even when the handle lever 504 is touched even when the game is not being played, a state where there is a lending ball and a holding ball (the presence of a game ball on the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 is detected. Otherwise, even if a touch on the handle lever 504 is detected, the side extension does not slide downward, thereby preventing power consumption when the player is not playing, wear of the sliding movement mechanism, etc. be able to.

  When the pachinko machine 1 is played by the player (when the above-described demonstration state is finished), the side overhang slides downward (fixed position). In addition, it is possible to use for the effect by utilizing a structure in which the side overhang can swing in the vertical direction. For example, by swinging the side extension in the specific game state, such as during a big hit state, the game can be functioned as a movable combination for upsurge. In addition, as described above, since a plurality of LEDs are attached to the side projection (not shown), it is possible to perform not only swinging in the vertical direction but also using the light emission of the LED. It is also possible to use a side overhang that has not had an inherent effect other than for advertising, with the addition of a rendering function.

  With the above configuration, in the state in which the side overhang slides in the upward direction, it can be used as a advertising member that is more noticeable than other game machines, and in the state in which the side overhang slides in the downward direction, Since it can be used as an effect for the effect of moving up and down according to the gaming state or performing a light emitting effect using an LED, the function differs depending on the position of the side projection.

  The brightness of the LED provided on the side overhang when the side overhang is sliding upward and when the side overhang is sliding downward (in the fixed position) (in the fixed position). May be changed. For example, information based on drive control, which of the state in which the side overhang slides upward or the state in which the side overhang slides downward (fixed position) (fixed position), or The luminance of the LED can be set on the basis of the result of the determination, based on the detection result by the detection switch (not shown). More specifically, when using the side overhang as a member for advertising, in the state where the side overhang is sliding upward, the brightness of the LED is set to high brightness, and the side overhang is downward (fixed position) In a state where the LED is slid to a predetermined position (a state at a fixed position), the brightness of the LED is set to be lower than that in a state where the side protrusion is sliding upward. As a result, it is possible to appropriately suppress the burden on the player's eyes in each of cases where the side overhang functions for advertisements viewed from a distance and functions for effects viewed from a distance. It becomes possible. Note that the LEDs provided on the side protrusions are electrically connected to a peripheral control board described later, and the brightness setting according to the movable position is controlled by the peripheral control board. For this reason, the peripheral control board acts as a brightness setting means.

  In addition, when the side overhang is sliding upward, it is configured to repeatedly switch between high brightness and low brightness at regular intervals, and the side overhang is sliding downward (fixed position) (fixed position). In the state of (1), the luminance may be always low. As a result, when the side overhang is viewed from a distance, the side overhang appears to blink, so that attention to the pachinko machine 1 can be further enhanced, and the possibility of selecting the pachinko machine 1 is improved. It is possible to

  In addition, when the side overhang is sliding upward, the side overhang can be moved so as to swing at a fixed interval, and the side overhang is sliding downward (fixed position) (fixed position) In this state, the swinging operation may be canceled. By using the tendency to follow moving objects, when the island equipment is viewed along the aisle, the gaze tends to naturally move to the swinging side overhang, thus raising the attention to the pachinko machine 1 more than any gaming machine It is possible to improve the possibility that the pachinko machine 1 is selected.

  Next, the structure of the side projection will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 219 is a schematic view of the right overhang panel 491 and a belt type movable part 503 which slides the right overhang panel 491. FIG. 220 is a view of the AA cross section of FIG. 219 as viewed from below. Further, since the structure relating to the movement of the left overhanging panel 490 and the right overhanging panel 491 is a common thing, the movable structure of the right overhanging panel 491 will be described here, and the description of the left overhanging panel 490 will be omitted. The right overhang panel 491, the belt-type movable unit 503, and the right overhang mechanism 501 are referred to.

The right extension mechanism 501 includes a right extension panel 491 and a belt-type movable unit 503.
The belt-type movable unit 503 includes a frame member 511 and a belt mechanism 510.
The belt mechanism 510 includes a toothed belt 512, an upper belt gear 513, a lower belt gear 514, a connection fitting 515, a belt drive motor 516, and a screw 517.
The frame member 511 is a member having a U-shaped cross section and has a structure in which the left wall 511a, the right wall 511b, and the rear wall 511d are joined, and is screwed to the door frame base unit 100 by a screw 517. A belt mechanism 510 is incorporated between the left wall 511a and the right wall 511b of the frame member 511. The upper belt gear 513 and the lower belt gear 514 in the belt mechanism 510 are pivotally supported on the upper part and the lower part between the left wall 511a and the right wall 511b of the frame member 511, and between the upper belt gear 513 and the lower belt gear 514. An endless toothed belt 512 is wound around.
Further, the belt drive motor 516 is connected to the upper belt gear 513, and the belt mechanism 510 operates by driving the belt drive motor 516.
In addition, U-shaped slide concave portions 518 and 519 are provided on the front end portions of the left wall 511a and the right wall 511b of the frame member 511 so as to face each other. The slide recesses 518 and 519 are formed penetrating in the longitudinal direction of the frame member 511 and serve as the rails of the right overhang panel 491.

  Further, the rear end portion of the right overhanging panel 491 is formed in a T shape, and the slide recesses 518 and 519 and the rear end portion of the right overhanging panel 491 formed in a T shape are slidably fitted. Do. In order to slide the right overhanging panel 491 in the vertical direction, the toothed belt 512 and the lower portion of the rear surface of the right overhanging panel 491 are attached and fixed by a connecting metal fitting 515. As a result, with the drive of the belt mechanism 510, the right overhang panel 491 slides up and down.

  Further, since the rear end portion of the right overhang panel 491 has a structure extending downward from the bottom surface other than the rear end portion, the right overhang panel 491 is slid upward by the belt type movable portion 503. At this time, the gap of the door frame 3 that occurs at the place where the right-extending panel 491 was originally located is filled. For this reason, it is possible to prevent an illegal act (goto) or mischief caused by putting a foreign object in the door frame 3 or the game area 5a. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent accidents such as a finger or other part of the body between the right-extending panel 491 and the gap, injury, and the like.

  The movable structure of the side overhang in this example has been described above, but the movable structure is not limited to the movable structure using the belt mechanism 510. For example, sliding movement is performed using a rack and pinion that converts rotational force of the gear into linear movement, The slide movement may be performed using a linear motor, and various methods can be selected as long as the slide movement is configured.

  In addition to the configuration in which the height of the side overhang is changed depending on whether or not a game is being performed with respect to the sliding movement of the side overhang, the height of the side overhang may be adjusted on the game hall side.

  Depending on the game hall, a shelf that a player can use as a luggage storage may be installed above the island facility where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. In that case, when the side overhang slides upward, it collides depending on the height of the shelf, and there is a possibility that failure or breakage occurs. In order to prevent this, in the present embodiment, it is possible to determine the upper limit value at which the side extension is increased on the game hall side.

A rotation sensor (not shown) for detecting the number of rotations of the upper belt gear 513 is provided in the vicinity of the upper belt gear 513 of the belt type movable portion 503 described above, and the side extension movement is performed at the number of rotations of the upper belt gear 513 Identify the quantity. In addition, an operation part for determining an upper limit value at which the side overhang is raised is arranged on the back surface of the door frame 3 so that only a staff member of the game hall can operate it.
Also, depending on the structure of the gaming hall, when the side overhang slides upward, there may be an obstacle on the moving path of one side overhang, so the left overhang panel 490 and the right overhang panel 491 respectively Different upper limit values can be set.

  The operation unit is electrically connected to a peripheral control substrate to be described later, and the upper limit of the distance along which the side extension slides upward can be set from 0% to 100% according to the operation on the operation unit. It is. When set to 0%, the side overhang does not rise in the fixed position. In addition, when it is set to 100%, it is possible to ascend to the maximum position where the side overhang can move. When a staff member of the game hall operates the operation unit and sets, for example, 50% as the upper limit value, a movement amount upper limit signal having a value of 50% is input from the operation unit to the peripheral control board. Next, based on the movement amount upper limit signal, the peripheral control board is configured such that the upper limit value of the distance over which each side extension can move is controlled to half of the maximum value.

[Modification of First Embodiment of Door Frame]
Further, in the door frame 3 of this example, the side overhang is swung up and down during the game, and, as shown in FIG. A pair of left movable sheet 390 and right movable sheet 391 protruding toward the player appear at the location where the overhang is located. Also in this example, the structure of the right movable sheet 391 will be described, and the description of the left movable sheet 390 will be omitted.

The right movable sheet 391 is formed of a thin plate-like member, and has a sheet on which an ornamental design corresponding to the model of the game machine is drawn on the outer side and the inner side, which can be used for presentation and advertising ing.
Further, the right movable sheet 391 is provided with another sheet on the inside and the outside. For example, in the present embodiment, a sheet on which a decorative design (here, an image simulating a ladybug) corresponding to a model of a game machine is drawn on the outside where a hall customer or the like other than a player can visually recognize On the inside where the player can use it and directly view it, "super heat" which indicates that the probability of developing into the big hit state is high, "big hit !!" which indicates that the big hit state is reached, etc. are drawn It is possible to use it as an effect by using a sheet.

  Next, the structure of the right movable sheet 391 will be described with reference to FIG. 222 (A). FIG. 222 (A) is a view showing a right movable sheet 391 and a movable sheet rotation mechanism which rotationally moves the right movable sheet 391. FIG. 222 (B) is a schematic diagram showing a rotation mode of the right movable sheet.

The movable sheet rotating mechanism includes a right movable sheet 391 and a rotational movement mechanism 392. The rotational movement mechanism 392 rotates the right movable sheet 391 around the horizontal direction so that a player can visually recognize the position. The right movable sheet 391 appears.
The rotational movement mechanism 392 has an upper gear 393, a middle gear 394 and a lower gear 395. The upper gear 393 is pivotally supported by the rotation shaft of the right movable seat 391, and the lower gear is pivotally supported by the lower belt gear 514 described above. Further, the middle gear 394 is disposed so as to mesh with the upper gear 393 and the lower gear 395.

  When the right extension panel 491 is slid upward by the belt-type movable portion 503, the lower belt gear 514 rotates in the clockwise direction. Therefore, the lower gear 395 supported by the shaft also rotates in the clockwise direction. Along with this, the middle gear 394 meshing with the lower gear 395 rotates counterclockwise, and the upper gear 393 meshing with the middle gear 394 rotates clockwise. A configuration in which the portion having the sheet in the right movable sheet 391 appears visibly to the player by rotationally moving about the rotation axis of the right movable sheet 391 with the rotation of the upper gear 393. It has become.

  On the other hand, when the right extension panel 491 is slid downward by the belt-type movable portion 503, the lower belt gear 514 rotates counterclockwise, so that the lower gear 395 supported by the shaft also rotates counterclockwise. Rotate. Along with this, the middle gear 394 meshing with the lower gear 395 rotates clockwise, and the upper gear 393 meshing with the middle gear 394 rotates counterclockwise. As the upper gear 393 rotates, the door frame allows the player to visually recognize the portion having the seat in the right movable seat 391 by rotating around the rotation axis of the right movable seat 391. It is configured to be housed in 3.

Further, the right movable seat is provided with a cover member 396, and is rotatably supported by the lower surface of the right movable seat 391.
The cover member 396 has a role of filling the gap generated in the door frame 3 when the right movable sheet 391 appears to be visible. For this reason, it is possible to prevent an illegal act (goto) or mischief caused by putting a foreign object in the door frame 3 or the game area 5a. Further, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a part of a body such as a finger being sandwiched between the right movable sheet 391 and the gap or an injury.
Furthermore, since the sheet stopper piece 397 is formed, the cover member 396 rotates toward the inside of the door frame 3 even if the cover member 396 is pressed with a finger or the like when the cover member 396 fills the gap. It is possible to prevent a gap from being generated intentionally.

  With the above configuration, when the right movable sheet 391 is at an invisible position, it is used as a normal door frame, and conversely, when the right movable sheet 391 appears at a visible position, a variation for effect is added Therefore, the function is different depending on the position of the right movable sheet 391.

  In addition, the left movable sheet 390 and the right movable sheet 391 described above are thin plate-like members, and provided with a sheet on which a decorative design corresponding to the type of game machine is drawn on the outside and the inside. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a liquid crystal display device capable of displaying an image, an organic EL display, and the like may be provided on the outer side and the inner side to determine whether a gaming state or a game is being played The displayed image may be changed according to various situations, such as whether or not.

[Second Embodiment of Door Frame]
Further, the movement of the side overhang is not limited to the movable means that slides in the vertical direction as long as the function is different before and after the movement of the side overhang. The movable structure of the side overhang in this example is configured to be rotationally moved in a swing manner with the rear end portion of the side overhang as an axis, and as shown in FIG. position). As shown in FIG. 224, the side overhang is closed after the movement.

  Further, since the side overhang of this example is provided with a left overhang display device 495 and a right overhang display device 496 on the outside, a structure in which the side overhang rotates and the pachinko machine 1 is operated by the player. When not being played, or played by a player, in the normal gaming state, the side overhang is opened, and has the function of advertising using the left overhang display 495 and the right overhang display 496 Use as a character. On the other hand, when the player is playing a game, for example, when performing an effect suggesting that there is a high probability of developing into a big hit state, or when performing an effect indicating that the big hit state has been reached, it closes according to the game state. The state is set so that all or a part of the game area cannot be visually recognized by overhanging the side. Then, when the side overhang is in the closed state, the left overhang display device 495 and the right overhang display device 496 are combined, so that there is an effect function such as performing an image effect using the left / right overhang display device. It can be used as a character.

  Next, a structure for moving the side overhang will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 225 is a view showing a side extension and a side extension rotation mechanism by a rack and pinion which rotationally moves the side extension.

The side extension rotation mechanism includes a left extension panel 490, a right extension panel 491, and a reverse movement mechanism 481. The reverse movement mechanism 481 opens and closes the left extension panel 490 and the right extension panel 491 in a swing manner. It is a thing.
The counter moving mechanism 481 has a left rack gear 485 and a left pinion 482, a right rack gear 486 and a right pinion 483 and a drive gear 484. The left rack gear 485 and the right rack gear 486 are arranged in parallel along the left-right direction of the door frame base unit 100. The pinion shaft 487 of the left pinion 482 is vertically supported in the vertical direction along the left side of the door frame base unit 100, and the pinion shaft 488 of the right pinion 483 is vertically extended along the right side of the door frame base unit 100. The top and bottom are pivotally supported in the direction.
Further, the drive shaft 489 of the drive gear 484 is axially supported in a short vertical direction at the upper center of the door frame base unit 100. A drive gear 484 is arranged on the rear surface where the left rack gear 485 and the right rack gear 486 overlap so that the left rack gear 485 and the right rack gear 486 are engaged.

Further, the left rack gear 485 has rack teeth on the rear surface where it engages with the drive gear 484, and has rack teeth on the front surface where it engages with the left pinion 482.
The right rack gear 486 has rack teeth on the front surface at both positions where it meshes with the drive gear 484 and where it meshes with the right pinion 483.

  The rear end portion of the left overhanging panel 490 is fixed to the pinion shaft 487. Further, the rear end portion of the right projecting panel 491 is fixed to the pinion shaft 488. Note that the left rack gear 485 is bent rearward so that the positions of the left pinion 482 and the right pinion 483 are the same in the front-rear direction. Therefore, when the drive gear 484 reciprocates to the left and right, the left rack gear 485 and the right rack gear 486 move in parallel and in opposite directions, so the left overhang panel 490 and the right overhang panel 491 move through the left pinion 482 and the right pinion 483. Open and close with a double door.

[Third Embodiment of Door Frame]
In the present embodiment, the movable structure of the side overhang is configured to be rotationally moved about the lower end rear portion of the side overhang, and as shown in FIG. (Fixed position). As shown in FIG. 227, the state where the left overhanging panel 490 is tilted is after the movement.

3-1d-4. Characteristics of Production Operation Unit]
As shown in FIG. 41, the rendering operation unit 220 of the present embodiment is assembled, and the lower end of the damper 222 attached to the damper mounting recess 240c of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B is lower than the lower surface of the lower case 240. Also, since it protrudes downward, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the accommodation recess 231a of the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A and the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B. In addition, the front end surfaces (upper end surfaces) of the four horizontal support pins 231b of the unit case 231 coincide with the bottom face of the counterbore of the screw hole 243c of the base member 243, and upward of the touch unit 220B with respect to the horizontal support pins 231b. Movement is regulated by a flat washer on the head of a screw 227 screwed into the upper end of the lateral support pin 231b. Further, the tapered portion 231 i formed on the upper end side of the lateral support pin 231 b and the tapered portion 243 d formed on the lower end side of the screw hole 243 c of the base member 243 are separated from each other.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 42, in the effect operation unit 220, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 is slightly smaller than the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a on the side of the lateral support pin 231b. Projects upward. Further, since a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240, the upper surface of the damper 222 inserted into the front support pin 231c of the unit case 231 and the lower A gap is also formed between the lower surface of the case 240. A gap is also formed between the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231 d of the unit case 231 and the lower surface of the lower case 240. That is, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A with the lower surface floating in the air by the dampers 222 inserted into the left and right lateral support pins 231b.

  Further, the rendering operation unit 220 is constricted downward in the unit case 231 in which the touch unit 220B is attached from above in a pyramid-shaped cylindrical receiving portion 230c constricted downward in the attachment base 230 of the attachment base unit 220A. The lower end of the full pyramidal receiving projection 231e is inserted. A slight gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e. Thus, in the normal state, only the outer periphery of the unit case 231 is attached to the mounting base 230 in a state where the inside of the unit case 231 (the center side of the accommodation recess 231a) floats in the air.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 31 and the like, the rendering operation unit 220 has a linear upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237 along the rear side close to the game area 5a in the touch unit 220B ( Striped). The length of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b is about 2/3 of the length of the rear side of the touch unit 220B. An upper rear decoration member 236 is disposed on the rear side of the upper end of the linear light emitting portion 237b exposed along the rear side of the touch unit 220B. Further, an upper dish ball removal button 239 is arranged on the right side of the upper dish rear decoration member 236 in front view. Further, a button unit 220C is arranged on the left side of the touch unit 220B when viewed from the front.

  The effect operation unit 220 can present various effects to the player in accordance with the game state that is changed by driving a game ball into the game area 5a. For example, by displaying an image on the upper tray liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, an image (effect image) can be presented to the player through the transparent touch panel 246 and enjoyed.

  An image imitating the operation button is displayed as the image displayed on the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244, and the detection of the touch by the sensor sheet 246b of the touch panel 246 can be accepted to allow the player to receive the image. The operation buttons can be operated, and an effect using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed. The image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 at the time of production using the touch panel 246 is not limited to the operation button, and various images can be displayed.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the plurality of dampers 222 in a floating state from the unit case 231, the touch unit 220B is operated by operating the vibration device 242 according to the game state. Can be vibrated. In the effect using the touch panel 246, the vibration of the touch panel 246 (the touch unit 220B) is vibrated by the vibration generator 242 so that the finger of the player who is in contact with the touch panel 246 vibrates the touch panel 246. Even if the player operates the image operation button to the player, the player can be surprised as though the user operates the operation button having a substantial effect, and can be surprised by the touch panel 246 and the effect by the vibration. It is possible to suppress the interest from deteriorating by making the player entertain.

  Furthermore, since the effect operation unit 220 includes the button unit 220C on the left side of the touch unit 220B in a front view, the player is allowed to press the upper plate effect button 257 in accordance with the game state. You can entertain the operation. More specifically, the image operation button on the touch panel 246 is a touch only on the touch panel 246, and there is a dislike that it lacks the feeling of operation compared to the actual operation button. Therefore, it is possible to comfortably enjoy the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 without giving a sense of discomfort to the operation of the upper plate effect button 257, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game .

  Since this effect operation unit 220 is disposed at the portion where the upper plate 201 is provided in the plate unit 200 bulging forward, the game is performed even during the effect other than using the touch unit 220B or the button unit 220C. There is a risk that the user may hit the touch unit 220B or the like from above. On the other hand, in the effect operation unit 220, since the touch unit 220B is supported by the damper 222 in a floating state from the lower unit case 231, even if the touch unit 220B is struck from above, the elasticity of the damper 222 The impact can be absorbed to some extent by force. More specifically, when the touch unit 220B is hit or the like and an impact (load) is applied from above, the left and right horizontal support pins 231b are transmitted to the inserted dampers 222, and the touch unit 220B is lowered while the dampers 222 are lowered. Is compressed. By compressing the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pins 231b, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is lowered by the impact, the lower surface of the lower case 240 comes into contact with the upper end of the damper 222 into which the front support pin 231c is inserted, and is supported by the front support pin 231c as the touch unit 220B is lowered. The damper 222 is compressed downward. Thus, the impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the damper 222 supported by the front support pin 231c in addition to the damper 222 supported by the lateral support pin 231b.

  When the touch unit 220B is further lowered by an impact acting on the touch unit 220B, the lower surface of the lower case 240 of the touch unit 220B abuts on the left and right bottom surfaces of the accommodation recess 231a in the unit case 231 and the upper surface of the central support protrusion 231d. Thereby, the impact from the touch unit 220B directly acts on the unit case 231 from the touch unit 220B without passing through the plurality of dampers 222.

  Furthermore, when the touch unit 220B is lowered, the load from the central support protrusion 231d causes the bottom surface of the accommodation recess 231a of the unit case 231 to bend so that the center thereof moves downward. The impact from the touch unit 220B is absorbed by the elastic force due to the bending of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a. When the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is bent, the pair of receiving protrusions 231e which project downward from the lower side of the bottom surface of the housing recess 231a is lowered. Then, when the receiving protrusion 231e is further lowered by the impact from the touch unit 220B, the lower end side of the outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e contacts the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c of the mounting base 230, and from the touch unit 220B The impact is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230.

  The outer peripheral wall of the receiving protrusion 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are formed in the shape of a pyramid which is respectively narrowed downward, so from the receiving protrusion 231e to the cylindrical receiving portion 230c (mounting base 230 side) The load to be transmitted is distributed and transmitted in the direction along the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230 a of the mounting base 230 and in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface. As described above, since the structure that absorbs the impact applied to the touch unit 220B before the transmission to the mounting base 230 is arranged in layers, the impact applied to the touch unit 220B is sufficiently absorbed. Thus, the touch unit 220B, the unit case 231, the mounting base 230, and the like can be less likely to be damaged by the impact.

  In addition, the production operation unit 220 has a linear light emitting portion of a linear light emitting lens member 237 that extends along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B by the peripheral LED 235b of the post-upper decorative board 235 according to the gaming state. The upper end of 237b can be emitted linearly. As a result, the player's interest can be attracted to the touch unit 220B, and the image displayed on the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244 in the touch unit 220B, the touch effect using the touch panel 246, etc. can be enjoyed and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  In addition, according to the game state, the decoration light up decoration member 236 which is arranged on the rear side of the touch panel 220B (rear side than the linear light emitting portion 237b) by the decoration LED 235a of the decoration back light board 235 be able to. By making the upper back decoration member 236 emit light and decoration, as with the light emission of the linear light emitting portion 237b of the linear light emitting lens member 237, the player's interest is attracted to the rendering operation unit 220 such as the touch unit 220B. It is possible to enjoy the effects presented by the effect operation unit 220 and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, the touch unit 220B including the upper dish liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244 is covered by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A. And a waterproof seal 248 is attached to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B. As a result, even if water (water droplets) condensed on the surface of the upper plate main body 212 or the game ball by touching the outside air in the upper plate 201 flows downward (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262) of the upper plate 201. Thus, it is possible to prevent the dew condensation water from intruding into the touch unit 220B, and to prevent a malfunction from occurring in the touch unit 220B.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 42, since the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 for emitting and decorating the upper plate rear decoration member 236 and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is disposed at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201, It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as short circuit and corrosion in the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 without being exposed to the water droplets condensed by the upper plate 201.

  Furthermore, when the rendering operation unit 200 is disposed below the gaming area 5a, and light from the linear luminous lens member 237 or the like is emitted from the bottom to the player, therefore, it is disposed above the gaming area 5a. Compared to the above, it is easy for the player to easily see the light of the linear light emitting lens member 237 etc., so that it becomes possible to make the upper dish liquid crystal display 244 pay attention to the player reliably. It is possible to enjoy the effect by the operation unit 200 and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, since the effect operation unit 200 (upper dish liquid crystal display device 244) is disposed at a position corresponding to the center in the horizontal direction of the game area 5a, the center of the line of sight of the player is in any position in the game area 5a. However, it is possible to easily notice the light from the linear light emitting lens member 237 and the like, and it is possible to surely make the player pay attention to the upper dish liquid crystal display 244, and enjoy the effect by the effect operation unit 200. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the production operation unit 200 includes the touch panel 246, in addition to the production by the image, the production can be performed by causing the player to operate the touch panel 246, and the player can be entertained by various productions. By causing the player to operate the touch panel 246, it is possible to participate in the production, and it is possible to actively entertain the production for the player and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, the linear light emitting lens member 237 (linear light emitting portion 237b) arranged along the outer peripheral edge on the rear side of the touch unit 220B transfers the game ball in the upper plate 201 to the ball feeding unit 540 (ball launching device 680). An upper tray ball extraction button 239 is disposed along the feeding guide passage portion 212a and operates the upper tray ball removal unit 310 with the guide passage portion 212a. In other words, the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is provided in the vicinity of a place where the player confirms the game ball necessary for the game, and the linear light-emitting lens member 237 is disposed at a position that the player cares about even during the game. Therefore, the light emission of the linear light emitting lens member 237 can be noticed, and the player's interest is drawn to the touch unit 220B and the effect by the touch unit 220B (effect image by the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244, the touch panel 246 The timing of the touch operation, etc.) can be easily noticed.

  Further, the touch unit 220B including the upper dish liquid crystal substrate 241 and the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244 is covered by the mounting base 230 and the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A. Since the waterproof seal 248 is attached to the outer peripheral surface on the rear side of the touch unit 220B while being disposed at a position higher than that of the touch unit 220B, the upper plate 201 touches the outside air and Even if condensed water (water droplets) flows downward of the upper plate 201 (on the upper plate lower covering portion 262), the condensed water can be prevented from entering the touch unit 220B, and the touch unit 220B It is possible to prevent the occurrence of problems in

  Further, as shown in FIG. 42, since the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 for emitting and decorating the upper plate rear decoration member 236 and the linear light emitting lens member 237 is disposed at a position higher than the bottom surface of the upper plate 201, It is possible to prevent the occurrence of defects such as short circuit and corrosion in the upper plate rear decoration substrate 235 without being exposed to the water droplets condensed by the upper plate 201.

  Furthermore, when the touch unit 220B including the touch panel 246 and the upper dish liquid crystal display device 244 is vibrated by the vibrating unit 242 in the effect operation unit 220 of the dish unit 200, a plurality (two) of the touch units 220B are provided. The damper 222 is attached to the unit case 231 of the mounting base unit 220A in a floating state so that the vibration of the touch unit 220B (excitation device 242) is absorbed and attenuated by the damper 222 and transmitted to the mounting base unit 220A. As a result, the vibration of the mounting base unit 220A can be reduced. Therefore, when the touch unit 220B of the touch unit 220B is touch-operated, if the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibration device 242, only the touch unit 220B is vibrated. It is possible to sufficiently impart the operation feeling of 246, and it is possible to make the player enjoy the touch operation of the touch panel 246 and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the touch unit 220B can be vibrated by the vibration device 242, in addition to the operation feeling of the touch panel 246, the player is surprised by the vibration of the touch unit 220B or suggests the timing of operating the touch panel 246. It is possible to enjoy the operation effects by the touch panel 246 of the touch unit 220B and to suppress the decrease in interest.

  Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B is supported from the lower side by the plurality of dampers 222, even if an impact or load is applied to the touch unit 220B by tapping or strongly pressing the touch unit 220B from the upper side, the damper 222 Since it becomes possible to absorb the impact etc., damage to the touch unit 220B, the mounting base unit 220A etc. due to the impact etc can be reduced, and the game is interrupted by the damage of the touch unit 220B etc. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the player's interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the touch panel 246 is operated by the touch unit 220B, the player touches the touch panel 246 for a longer time than when the player presses the button. When the touch unit 220B is vibrated by the vibration device 242 when the 246 is touched, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the player's finger (hand). Therefore, since the player can feel that the touch panel 246 is operated by vibrating the player's finger, a sufficient operational feeling can be given, and the player can enjoy operating the touch panel 246. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

  In addition, by changing the image displayed on the upper liquid crystal display device 244 of the touch unit 220B, the type of touch operation (button) can be easily changed, and it becomes possible to deal with various effects. It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored with a variety of performances and to reduce interest. Furthermore, since the touch unit 220B is provided with the touch panel 246, compared with the conventional pressing button, touch, tap (single tap, double tap), drag, flick, pinch (pinch out, pinch in), swipe, touch and Various operations such as hold can be performed. Thereby, more various operation effects can be performed and it can suppress that a player is entertained and an interest falls.

  Further, the touch unit 220B is attached to the attachment base unit 220A (unit case 231) so as not to move upward and to move downward. The touch unit 220B is elastically (biased) by a plurality of dampers 222. Is pressed against the upper moving end, the touch unit 220B can be made difficult to move during the operation of the touch panel 246, and the operation of the touch panel 246 can be easily performed accurately. Further, since the touch unit 220B becomes difficult to move, it is possible to make the player think that the touch unit 220B does not move, and the touch unit 220B that was thought not to move does not vibrate according to the gaming state. The player can be surprised by vibrating with the device 242, and the player can be prevented from being entertained and the interest is reduced.

  In addition, since the touch unit 220B is vibrated by a plurality of vibration devices 242 separated from each other, for example, by driving the vibration device 242 at a position close to the part operated by the player on the touch panel 246, it is strong. Vibration can be transmitted. Therefore, when the touch panel 246 operates a position different from the position to be operated by the player, the vibration transmitted to the player is different, so that the player is notified that the operation is wrong. As a result, the player can be made to perform the correct operation, and the enjoyment of the operation using the touch panel 246 can be enjoyed to suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since a plurality of vibration exciters 242 which are separated from each other are provided, the resonance phenomenon is generated at an arbitrary position of the touch panel 246 by appropriately controlling the frequency and intensity of the vibration of each vibration exciter 242 and the like. Can do. Therefore, by controlling each vibration device 242 so that a resonance phenomenon occurs at an arbitrary position operated by the player, it is possible to give a further operational feeling or greatly surprise the player, It is possible to entertain the player and suppress the decrease in interest.

  Further, when the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed and an impact or a load acts on the touch unit 220B, the left and right ends of the touch unit 220B are attached to the unit case 231 with the damper 222 interposed therebetween. For this reason, the shock from the upper side or the like can be absorbed (attenuated) to some extent by the bending of the damper 222 and the touch unit 220B and transmitted to the unit case 231 side. Further, on the unit case 231 side, since the outer edge of the unit case 231 is attached to the lower mounting base 230, an impact or load from the touch unit 220 </ b> B side via the unit case 231 is applied to the mounting base 230. It can be distributed widely and transmitted. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e projecting downward from the lower surface of the unit case 231 and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c in which the receiving projection 231e is inserted on the bottom surface of the attachment side receiving portion 230a of the attachment base 230. Since a gap is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the unit case 231 bends downward due to an impact or load from the touch unit 220B, the receiving projection 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other. Thus, an impact or the like is transmitted from the unit case 231 to the mounting base 230, and the impact or the like is transmitted to the mounting base 230 in a state further attenuated by the bending of the unit case 231. Since the outer peripheral wall of the receiving projection 231e and the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical receiving portion 230c are narrowed downward, when the receiving protruding portion 231e and the cylindrical receiving portion 230c come into contact with each other, the receiving projection 231e (unit case) 231) The impact, load, etc. from the side are transmitted in an oblique direction with respect to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230, and the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the mounting side receiving portion 230a of the mounting base 230 and along the bottom surface. As a result, the force in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface (downward) that causes the mounting base 230 to bend is reduced and transmitted to the mounting base 230 side. Therefore, even if the touch unit 220B is hit from the upper side or strongly pressed, the impacts and the like can be effectively attenuated by the plurality of dampers 222, the unit case 231, and the mounting base 230. The attachment base unit 220A can be prevented from being damaged.

A guide passage 822c is provided, which communicates the ball guiding inlet 822a with the ball guiding outlet 822b and through which the game balls can flow. The guiding passage 822c has an introduction portion 822d obliquely extending at a small angle with respect to the horizontal from the ball induction inlet 822a to the vicinity of the left end, and the center of height along the left side of the rear case 822 from the introduction portion 822d The detection unit 822 e extends straight downward to the vicinity, and a meandering portion 822 f extends in a meandering manner from the detection unit 822 d to the left and right of the rear case 822. Further, the rear case 822 is provided with a notch 822g on the right side wall of the detection portion 822e in the guiding passage 822c in a front view.

  The rear case 822 is formed substantially symmetrical to the left and right with respect to the front case 821. The guide passage 821c and the guide passage 822c are formed so as to coincide with each other in the front-rear direction in a state where the ball guide unit 820 is assembled. Yes.

  The front and rear ends of the shaft member 824 are attached to positions below the upper ends of the notches 821g and 822g in the front case 821 and the rear case 822 and outside the induction passages 821c and 822c.

  The movable piece member front 825 is a flat movable piece 825a extending vertically, a shaft hole 825b which penetrates back and forth at the upper end of the right side surface of the movable piece 825a, and the movable piece 825a into which the shaft member 824 is inserted An extending portion 825c extending rightward from the upper end of the movable piece 825a at a right angle with respect to the right surface of the movable piece 825a; an extending portion 825c and the movable piece 825a; and fanning around the shaft hole 825b A connecting portion 825d, a weight attaching portion 825e having a through hole which protrudes outward from around the center of the upper portion of the extending portion 825c and the outer periphery of the connecting portion 825d and which penetrates back and forth, and an extending portion 825c A detection piece 825f extending outward from the right end in a flat plate shape and detectable by the broken ball detection sensor 827 and extending outward from a position near the movable piece 825a on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 825d Is provided with a stopper piece 825g, the.

  When the shaft member 824 passes through the shaft hole 825b, the movable piece front 825 rotates so that the weight attachment portion 825e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 825d is positioned directly below the shaft hole 825b by its own weight. The movable piece 825a extends obliquely downward from the shaft hole 825b. Therefore, in the assembled state of the ball guiding unit 820, the connecting portion 825d is inserted through the notch 821g of the front case 821, and the lower end of the movable piece 825a protrudes into the guiding passage 821c, and the stopper piece 825g It will be in the state contact | abutted to the outer wall of the guidance channel | path 821c (detection part 821e). When the stopper piece 825g abuts on the outer wall of the guiding passage 821c, the lower end of the movable piece 825a is restricted from further rotation in the direction (left direction in front view) projecting into the guiding passage 821c. In addition, when the movable piece member front 825 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 825a in a direction (right direction in front view) approaching the wall of the guiding passage 821c, the left side surface of the movable piece 825a becomes the guiding passage 821c. It matches the inner surface. In this state, the detection piece 825f in front of the movable piece member 825 is in a non-detection state with respect to the ball breakage detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the guide passage 821c, the ball break detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  The movable piece member back 826 is a flat plate-like movable piece 826a extending vertically and a shaft hole 826b which is penetrated back and forth at the upper end of the right side surface of the movable piece 826a and through which the shaft member 824 is inserted, and the movable piece 826a Extending from the upper end of the movable piece 826a to the right surface of the movable piece 826a at right angles with the extending portion 826c and the movable piece 826a, and fan-shapedly extending around the shaft hole 826b A connecting portion 826d, a weight attaching portion 826e having a through hole which protrudes outward from around the center of the upper portion of the extending portion 826c and the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d, and which penetrates back and forth A detection piece 826f which extends outward in a flat plate shape from the right end and can be detected by the broken ball detection sensor 827, and extends outward in a flat plate shape from a position near the movable piece 826a on the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d. Is provided with a stopper piece 826g, the.

  When the movable piece member rear 826 passes the shaft member 824 through the shaft hole 826b, the weight attaching portion 826e protruding from the outer periphery of the connecting portion 826d is rotated by its own weight so as to be positioned immediately below the shaft hole 826b. The movable piece 826a extends obliquely downward from the portion of the shaft hole 826b. Therefore, in the assembled state of the ball guiding unit 820, the connecting portion 826d is inserted into the notch 822g of the rear case 822, and the lower end of the movable piece 826a protrudes into the guiding passage 822c, and the stopper piece 826g It will be in the state contact | abutted to the outer wall of the guidance path 822c (detection part 822e). When the stopper piece 826g abuts against the outer wall of the guide passage 822c, the lower end of the movable piece 826a is restricted from further rotating in the direction protruding into the guide passage 822c (left direction in front view). Further, when the movable piece member front 826 rotates the lower end of the movable piece 826a in a direction approaching the wall of the guide passage 822c (right direction in front view), the left side surface of the movable piece 826a is moved toward the guide passage 822c. I agree with the inside. In this state, the detection piece 826f of the movable piece front 826 is in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827. That is, when there is a game ball in the induction passage 822c, the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 is not detected.

  The ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment is supplied with a plurality of game balls arranged in a line in the front and rear directions by the tank rail 803, and the front case 821 and the rear case in a state where the plurality of game balls are arranged in a line. The lower dispensing device 830 can be guided back and forth in two rows by 822 (see FIG. 82). At this time, since the front case 821 and the rear case 822 are partitioned by the partition plate 823, the game balls flowing through the respective guide passages 821c and 822c do not interfere with each other and flow well. Can.

  Further, when the game ball flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c of the ball guide unit 820, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a are moved. The movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 rotate in a direction coinciding with the wall surfaces of the guide passages 821c and 822c. Thereby, the detection pieces 825f and 826f of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 are in a non-detection state with respect to the out-of-ball detection sensor 827, and it can be seen that gaming balls are present in the guide paths 821c and 822c.

  When the game ball is paid out by the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guidance unit 820, the game balls in the guide passages 821c and 822c flow downstream. When a game ball flows through the guide passages 821c and 822c, the momentum of the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d is increased, and the game ball flowing through the introduction portions 821d and 822d is movable pieces above the detection portions 821e and 822e. It will rebound to the 825a, 826a side, and will abut on the movable piece 825a, 826a. Since the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate due to the abutment of the game ball, the movable pieces 825a and 826a vibrate between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the notches 821g and 822g of the guide passages 821c and 822c. Dust and dirt can be removed, and the movable pieces 825 and 826a can be favorably rotated by their own weight and the like.

  In addition, the ball guiding unit 820 detects the game balls circulating in the respective guiding passages 821c and 822c by means of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece 826 respectively, and also the movable piece front 825 and the movable Since each detection piece 825f, 826f of the single member back 826 is detected by one ball breakage detection sensor 827, when the game ball in any of the guide paths 821c, 822c disappears, the movable piece front 825 Alternatively, the movable piece 825a, 826a of the movable piece member 826 is rotated so as to protrude into the guiding passage 821c, 822c, and the detection piece 825f, 826f on the side where the game ball is lost is detected by the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 . Therefore, the game balls can be detected early, so that the game balls can be quickly replenished, and by reducing the time for interrupting the game as much as possible, the player's interest can be reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the weight of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 and the weight can be obtained by screwing in and attaching a metal screw as a weight to the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e of the movable piece front 825 and movable back 826 Thus, the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily rotated in the direction of protruding into the guide passages 821c and 822c. In addition, the upper end of the movable piece 825a, 826a is rotatably attached outside the induction passage 821c, 822c, and the lower end side protrudes in the induction passage 821c, 822c, so dust in the induction passage 821c, 822c No dust or the like adheres to the upper end or the lower end of the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a, 826a turn to the wall side of the guide passage 821c, 822c, dust and dirt do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a, 826a and the wall, so their own weight etc. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the movable pieces 825a and 826a do not rotate.

  As described above, in the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment, the movable piece 825a, 826a at the lower end side of the movable piece 825a, 826a after the movable piece 825 and 826 after the lower end side protrudes into the guiding passage 821c, 822c The weight of the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece 826 and the weight of the weight can be used to attach the movable piece 825a by attaching a weight made of a metal screw to the weight attachment portion 825e, 826e on the opposite side of the surface contacting the gaming ball. 826a can be easily rotated (protruded) into the guide passages 821c and 822c. In addition, the upper end of the movable piece 825a, 826a is rotatably attached outside the guiding passage 822c, and the lower end side protrudes in the guiding passage 821c, 822c, so dust or dirt in the guiding passage 821c, 822c Etc. do not adhere to the upper end or the lower end of the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Therefore, even if the movable pieces 825a, 826a turn to the wall side of the guide passage 821c, 822c, dust and dirt do not get caught between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a, 826a and the wall, so their own weight etc. The movable pieces 825a and 826 (the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826) can be prevented from rotating.

  In addition, in order to screw and attach a metal screw as a weight to weight attachment portions 825e and 826e as through holes, the weight is fixed even if the front of movable piece 825 and the rear of movable piece 826 rotate frequently. The movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 can be maintained in a good state for a long time without coming off from the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 (weight attachment parts 825 e, 826 e) . In addition, since the weight can be easily attached to the movable piece front 825 and the movable piece back 826 simply by screwing a metal screw into the weight attachment portions 825 e and 826 e, the process of attaching the weight can be simplified. The cost of assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Further, the guide passages 821c and 822c are provided with an introduction portion 822d for guiding the game ball toward the movable pieces 825a and 825c on the upstream side of the portion where the movable pieces 825a and 825c protrude to the inside. As the game ball flows in the passages 821c and 822c, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be vibrated by the contact of the game balls. Accordingly, the vibrations of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can remove dust or dirt that is sandwiched or invaded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c. The front member 825 and the rear movable member 826 can be rotated well.

  Therefore, since the movable piece member front 825 and the movable piece member rear 826 can be rotated well, the state (presence / absence) of the game ball in the guide passages 821c and 822c can be detected reliably, and the game ball It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a defect due to a false detection or the like. In addition, even if the game balls supplied to the payout device 830 disappear from the guide passages 821c and 822c, the presence or absence of the guide passages 821c and 822c can be reliably detected via the movable pieces 825a and 826a. The game ball can be replenished to the player, and the time at which the game is interrupted can be shortened as much as possible, thereby suppressing a decrease in the interest of the player.

  The discharge vane 839 extends in a cylindrical shape in the front and rear direction, and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a from the front end of the base cylinder portion 839a at a constant interval from the front end of the base cylinder portion 839a. The plurality of (three) front blades 839b and the front blades 839b from the rear end of the base tube portion 839a are alternately projected in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the base tube portion 839a at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. 3) Rear blade 839c, and a connected portion that protrudes forward from the front end of the base cylindrical portion 839a in a cylindrical shape and has concavities and convexities that can be connected to the connecting portion 387c of the driven gear 837 on the peripheral surface of the front end. And 839 d.

  Three front blades 839b and three rear blades 839c of the discharge blade 839 are provided at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction, and the rear blades 839c are arranged around the front blades 839b so as to be staggered. It is extended outward at an angle of 60 degrees in the direction. The payout blade 839 of the present embodiment is connected by a circular arc that is recessed toward the center between the three front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), and the diameter of the circular arc is the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. Thereby, between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), a ball housing portion 839e capable of housing only one game ball is formed.

  Further, the diameter D1 of the outer circumference of the three front blades 839b and the rear blades 839c with respect to the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a is formed to be 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. In addition, the diameter D2 centered on the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a to the portion closest to the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a in the portion (ball housing portion 839e) of the arc between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) Is formed about 0.3 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball (see FIG. 73). That is, the depth [(diameter D1-diameter D2) / 2] from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c to the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e is 0.1 to 0. 0 of the outer diameter of the gaming ball. It is supposed to be 4 times.

  Therefore, about 3/10 (between 1/4 and 1/3) of the outer circumference of the gaming ball may be held by the portion (ball housing portion 839e) of the arc between the front blades 839b (the rear blades 839c). it can. In other words, a depth of about 1/5 (1/7 to 1/4) of the outer diameter of the gaming ball can be accommodated. As a result, the gaming balls in the payout paths 831d and 832d can be quickly stored in the space (ball housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c).

  In the delivery blade 839 of this embodiment, the front blade 839 b is located in the delivery passage 831 d of the front box 831 and the rear blade 839 c is located in the delivery passage 832 d of the back box 832 in the assembled state of the delivery device 830. The game balls in the payout paths 831d and 832d can be paid out, respectively. In addition, the delivery blade 839 is disposed at a location where the delivery passage 831d, 832d is bent in a crank shape below the center of the entire height of the front box 821 and the back box 832. Specifically, in the dispensing passages 831 d and 832 d, the rotation center of the dispensing blade 839 is located immediately below the portion vertically extending downward from near the center of the entire height of the front box 821 and the back box 832. In the portion of the discharge passages 831d and 832d bent in a crank shape, the wall (inner wall) on the side far from the discharge blade 839 is centered on the rotation center of the discharge blade 839, and from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c. It is formed in an arc shape separated by a distance S smaller than the outer diameter of the gaming ball (see FIG. 62). In the present embodiment, the distance S is 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. In other words, the distance from the most recessed portion of the ball housing portion 839e to the portion formed in the arc shape of the payout paths 831d and 832d is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the gaming ball. .

  Thus, the payout device 830 can pass through the crank-folded portions of the payout passages 831 d and 832 d when the gaming balls having flowed down onto the payout blades 839 abut the outer periphery of the front blades 839 b and 839 c. In addition, it is not discharged downward from the delivery outlets 831 b and 832 b. On the other hand, when the gaming ball is housed in the ball housing portion 839e, it moves along with the rotation of the payout blade 839, and can pass through the cranked portion of the payout passage 831d, 832d, and from the payout outlet 831b, 832b Released downwards.

  In the payout device 830, the diameter D1 of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c is about 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball, and the ball housing portion 839e has a diameter 1 of the game ball. Since the depth of / 7 to ¼ is accommodated, the time required to accommodate the game ball can be shortened while reducing the outer diameter of the payout vane 839 as much as possible. Thereby, even if the payout blade 839 is rotated rapidly, the game ball can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e and sent to the payout outlets 831b and 832b. Therefore, the number of game balls paid out per unit time can be increased more than in the past, and the time taken to pay out the game balls can be shortened.

  The ball removal movable piece 843 extends in a plate shape in the top and bottom and front and back, and the lower portion is bent to extend in a tubular shape in the front and back at the upper end of the main portion 843a formed in a V shape. A cylindrical portion 843b rotatably attached at its both ends to the front box 831 and the back box 832, a projecting portion 843c projecting from an upper portion of the V-shaped outer surface of the main portion 843a, and a main portion 843c And a weight attaching portion 843d (see FIG. 72) formed of a through hole penetrating in the front and back direction in a lower part bent in a V-shape.

  In the state where the dispensing device 830 is assembled, the ball removal movable piece 843 is oriented so that the lower portion of the main body portion 843a extends obliquely to the lower left when viewed from the front, and the upper cylindrical tube portion 843b is disposed to disengage the front box 831 and the back box 832. In the passages 831d and 832d, it is possible to turn at a position that extends obliquely from the pay-out entrances 831a and 832a to the lower right in the front view, and slightly outside the wall on the right in the front view that is slightly above the part that bends downward. Is attached to

  In the normal state, the payout device 830 of the present embodiment is configured such that the ball removal lever 844 is slid downward, and the lower portion of the ball removal lever 844 contacts the protrusion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843 from the right side in front view. It touches. As a result, the ball removal movable piece 843 is restricted from turning counterclockwise when viewed from the front (see FIG. 72A).

  In this normal state, in the main portion 843a of the ball-extracting movable piece 843 bent in the V-shape, the upper side of the bent portion extends vertically, and the lower side of the bent portion is a front left lower left It extends to. And the lower end of the main-body part 843a is located in the vicinity of the site | part which the payout channel | paths 831d and 832d and the ball extraction channel | paths 831e and 832e branch. Therefore, the ball removal passages 831e and 832e are closed by the ball removal movable piece 843 (main body portion 843a), and the surface facing the left side of the main body portion 843a forms a part of the wall of the discharge passages 831d and 832d. doing.

  The unrolling movable piece 843 of this embodiment is formed so that the center of gravity of the unpunching movable piece 843 is located on the left side in a front view of a vertical line passing through the center of the axial cylinder portion 843b in a normal state. Although a force to rotate counterclockwise as viewed from the front acts on the anti-clockwise rotation by the ball removal lever 844, the normal state is maintained.

  When the ball removal lever 844 is slid upward from the normal state, the lower portion of the ball removal lever 844 moves away from the protruding portion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843, and the ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front. Motion restrictions are lifted. Therefore, the ball removing movable piece 843 is pivoted counterclockwise by its own weight so that the center of gravity is positioned immediately below the shaft cylinder portion 843 b. In addition, the ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise until the lower right side surface of the main body 843 a abuts on the left surface of the member forming the right side surface of the front box 831 and the back box 832. (See FIG. 61 (b)). As a result, the ball releasing passages 831e and 832e are opened, and the gaming balls entering from the payout openings 831a and 832a contact the main body 843a of the ball releasing movable piece 843 in the middle of the payout passages 831d and 832d. The ball removing movable piece 843 is pivoted counterclockwise in a front view to open the ball removing passages 831e and 832e, and flows through the opened ball removing passages 831e and 832e and discharged downward from the ball removing outlets 831c and 832c. The Rukoto.

  In the present embodiment, since the ball removal movable piece 843 includes the weight attachment portion 843d, the ball attachment lever 844d is slid upward by screwing and attaching a weight made of a metal screw to the weight attachment portion 843d. Thus, when the restriction of counterclockwise rotation in front view is released, the lower end of the ball removal movable piece 843 protrudes into the ball removal passages 381e and 832e by the weight of the ball removal movable piece 843 and the weight of the weight. It can be made easy to turn in the direction (counterclockwise in front view).

  Further, in a normal state in which the ball extracting lever 844 is slid downward to close the ball extracting passages 831e and 832e, the gaming ball entering from the payout opening 831a and 832a is attached to the main body 843a of the ball releasing movable piece 843. Since the contact is made, the ball removal movable piece 843 can be vibrated by the contact of the game ball. Accordingly, dust or dirt sandwiched or invaded between the lower end of the ball removal movable piece 843 and the inner surfaces of the ball removal passages 831e and 832e can be removed by the vibration of the ball removal movable piece 843. It is possible to prevent the ball removal movable piece 843 from becoming unable to rotate by biting or dust.

  Further, since a metal screw as a weight can be screwed into and attached to the weight attaching portion 843d that is a through hole, the weight is removed from the ball-moving movable piece 843 even if the ball-moving movable piece 843 rotates frequently. The ball removal movable piece 843 can be maintained in a good state over a long period of time without being disengaged from the (weight attaching portion 843d). Further, since the weight can be easily attached to the ball removing movable piece 843 simply by screwing the metal screw into the weight attaching portion 843d, the labor for attaching the weight can be simplified, and the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled. The cost which concerns on can be reduced.

  By the way, when the ball removing passage 843e closes the ball removing passages 831e and 832e for a long period of time, fine dust adheres to the rotating shaft of the ball removing movable member 843 and the rotating shaft is rusted. The removal movable piece 843 may be difficult to rotate. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the game balls that have entered from the payout entrances 831a and 832a are brought into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removal movable piece 843. Therefore, the ball removal passage 831e is formed by the ball removal movable piece 843. , 832e from the closed state, when the ball release lever 844 for releasing the closure is slid upward to release the lock, the game ball comes into contact with the ball release movable piece 843, so that the impact of the contact The ball removal movable piece 843 can be rotated, and the ball removal passages 831 e and 832 e can be reliably opened.

  Therefore, when the ball removal lever 844 is operated to open the ball removal passages 831e and 832e, the ball removal movable piece 843 can be rotated favorably, so that the game ball can be removed with certainty. Workability at the time of maintenance can be improved.

A lower ball out guideway 865 is provided for release into.

  In the lower full ball path unit 860, a normal guide path 861, a full tank guide path 862, and a lower ball guide path 865 are arranged in order from the left side to the right side in a front view. The normal guiding path 861, the full tank guiding path 862, and the lower ball guiding path 865 have rear ends that open upward. The normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 have a width in which a plurality of game balls are arranged on the left and right sides, and extend forward to the vicinity of the front end of the main body frame 4 so that the front end side is lowered. Further, the full tank guide path 862 extends forward at a position lower than the normal guide path 861. As shown in the drawing, the normal guiding path 861, the full tank guiding path 862, and the lower ball guiding path 865 are formed by an upper case 866 and a lower case 867 that can be divided vertically.

  The guideway opening / closing door 863 is rotatably attached to a portion between the normal guideway 861 and the full guideway 862 at the front end of the lower case 867 and is rotated clockwise by a closing spring 864. It is energized. More specifically, a full tank guide path 862 that opens to the right of the front end opening of the normal guide path 861 in front view at the front end of the lower full sphere path unit 860 is one game for the normal guide path 861. It is placed at a lower position by the height of the ball. The guideway opening / closing door 863 is attached to the lower side of the normal guideway 861 and to the left side of the full tank guideway 862 so as to be rotatable about an axis extending in the front-rear direction.

  The guideway opening / closing door 863 includes a disk-like base portion 863a that is rotatably mounted, a first door plate portion 863b that extends obliquely from the base portion 863a to the upper left side and that can close the front end opening of the normal guideway 861. A second door plate portion 863c extending rightward from the base portion 863a and closing the front end opening of the full guide path 862, and an extending portion 863d extending from the base portion 863a obliquely to the lower left side in a flat plate shape. And an operating protrusion 863e that protrudes forward from the front surface of the distal end of the extending portion 863d and can contact the door opening / closing contact portion 537 of the foul cover unit 520 in the door frame 3.

  Here, closing the front end openings of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 means that it is not necessary to seal the openings, and it is sufficient that the game ball cannot pass. The operating protrusion 863e is formed in a short arc shape with the base 863a as the center when viewed from the front, and the front end surface is inclined so as to protrude forward as it approaches the end in the counterclockwise direction. doing.

  The guide path opening / closing door 863 is urged clockwise by a closing spring 864, and the second door plate portion 863 c is located below the front end opening of the full tank guide path 862 at the front end of the lower case 867. By being in contact with the boss portion 867a protruding forward, rotation in the clockwise direction is restricted.

  In the lower full-tan ball passage unit 860 of the present embodiment, in a state where the pachinko machine 1 is assembled, the front end is a through ball passage 526 in the far cover unit 520 of the door frame 3; It is attached at a position facing the contact portion 537 (see FIG. 80). Since the guide path opening / closing door 863 is not in contact with the operating protrusion 863e when the door frame 3 is open with respect to the main body frame 4, the guide path opening / closing door 863 is biased by the closing spring 864. Thus, the second door plate 863 c is rotated in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front, and is stopped in a state where the second door plate 863 c is in contact with the boss 867 a of the lower case 867. In this state, the first door plate portion 863b and the second door plate portion 863c are positioned in front of the front end openings of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862, and close the front end openings (FIG. 79). (See (a)). Therefore, in this state, the gaming balls in the normal induction passage 861 and the full induction passage 862 can not move forward from the front end opening, and even when the door frame 3 is opened, the normal induction passage 861 and full induction There are no spills of gaming balls from the road 862.

  When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the door opening / closing contact portion 537 of the foul cover unit 520 in the door frame 3 comes into contact with the front end surface of the operation protrusion 863e of the guide path opening / closing door 863, and the operation is performed. Due to the inclination of the front end surface of the protrusion 863e, a force acts to rotate the guide path opening / closing door 863 in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front against the urging force of the closing spring 864. As a result, the first door plate portion 863b and the second door plate portion 863c, which have closed the front end openings of the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path 862, rotate in a direction away from the front end opening, and the normal guide path 861 In addition, the front end opening of the full tank guide path 862 is opened (see FIG. 79B). In this state, as shown in the figure, the first door plate portion 863b is positioned below the front end opening of the normal guide passage 861, and the second door plate portion 863c is positioned above the front end opening of the full tank guide passage 862. .

  In the state where the front end openings of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 are opened, the door frame 3 is completely closed with respect to the main body frame 4, and the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 are filled. A through ball passage 526 and a full ball receiving hole 528 of the far cover unit 520 in the door frame 3 are located on the front side of the front end opening of the guide passage 862 and penetrated from the side of the normal guide passage 861 and the full guide passage 862 A game ball can be delivered to the ball passage 526 and the full tank receiving port 528 side.

  In this way, the front end openings of the normal guideway 861 and the full tank guideway 862 are made different in the vertical direction, and the front end openings of the normal guideway 861 and the full tank guideway 862 are made by turning the guideway opening / closing door 863. Since opening and closing is performed, the operation range of the guideway opening / closing door 863 can be made as narrow as possible, and the opening / closing mechanism of the normal guideway 861 and the full-way guideway 862 can be downsized. Therefore, the space for other members can be relatively enlarged, and the internal space of the pachinko machine 1 can be used more effectively.

  The payout unit 800 of the present embodiment has a larger number of game balls from the payout device 830 in a state where the upper plate 201 of the door frame 3 is filled with game balls and the game balls cannot be released to the upper plate 201. When the player pays out, the game balls can be stored until the inside of the normal guiding path 861 of the lower full-tan ball path unit 860 is full of game balls. When a game ball is further paid out from the payout device 830 in a state where the normal guiding path 861 is full of game balls, the game ball is normally released in the upper ball storage passage 850c of the upper full ball path unit 850. If it stays above the outlet 850d and exceeds the partition piece 850f, it will circulate to the full tank outlet 850e side, and the full tank guide path 862 of the lower full ball path unit 860 from the full tank outlet 850e, The payout of game balls to the lower plate 202 through the foul cover unit 520 is automatically switched. Thereafter, when the game balls are further paid out from the payout device 830 and the lower plate 202 is filled with the game balls in addition to the upper plate 201 and cannot be supplied to the lower plate 202, the foul cover unit 520 is provided. The game ball is stored in the storage passage 533 of the Then, when the movable piece 534 is rotated by the game ball being stored in the storage passage 533 and detected by the full tank detection sensor 535, the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are full of game balls. Is notified, and the payout of the gaming ball by the payout device 830 is temporarily stopped until the detection of the movable piece 534 by the full tank detection sensor 535 is cancelled.

  The game ball is stored until the movable piece 534 is detected in the storage passage 533 of the far cover unit 520, for example, when the payout device 830 stops the payout of the game ball in response to the detection of the movable piece 534 by the full tank detection sensor 535. In such a state, the number can be filled in the storage passage 533 on the upstream side, the full tank guide path 862 of the lower full ball path unit 860, and the upper ball storage path 850c of the upper full ball path unit 850. When the game ball of the above is paid out, the payout of the game ball by the payout device 830 may be stopped. As a result, it is possible to store more game balls than conventional pachinko machines. Therefore, in a gaming state where a lot of game balls are paid out, such as during a big hit game, the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are released by the payout of the game balls. It is possible to reduce the need to be concerned about being filled with gaming balls, and to allow the player to concentrate on and play a big hit game.

  Thus, in the payout unit 800 of the present embodiment, more game balls can be stored in the upper full ball path unit 850 and the lower full ball path unit 860 than in the conventional pachinko machine. When a large number of game balls are stored in the upper full ball path unit 850 and the lower full ball path unit 860 when the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the frame 4, the load of these game balls is normally guided. This greatly acts on the guideway opening / closing door 863 closing the front end opening of the road 861 and the full tank guideway 862, and the guideway opening / closing door 863 may be easily damaged. Therefore, the guideway opening / closing door 870 of the embodiment as shown in FIG. 81 may be used.

  The guideway opening / closing door 870 shown in FIG. 81 has a disk-like base 870a rotatably mounted, and a first door which extends in a flat plate shape obliquely from the base 870a to the upper left side and can usually close the front end opening of the guideway 861. A plate portion 870b, a second door plate portion 870c extending rightward from the base portion 870a and capable of closing the front end opening of the full guide path 862, and an extension extending obliquely from the base portion 870a to the lower left side in a flat plate shape. A protrusion (not shown), and an operation protrusion 870e which protrudes forward from the front surface of the tip of the extension and which can be in contact with the door opening / closing contact portion 537 of the far cover unit 520 in the door frame 3 ing. In addition, the guideway opening / closing door 870 includes a plurality of recesses 870 into which a part of the game ball fits on the rear surfaces of the first door plate portion 870b and the second door plate portion 870c.

  The rear faces of the first door plate portion 870b and the second door plate portion 870c of the guideway opening / closing door 870 are slanted so as to move rearward as they move away from the base portion 870a as illustrated. Therefore, when the game ball rolled forward in the normal induction passage 861 or full tank induction passage 862 abuts on the rear surface of the first door plate portion 870 b or the second door plate portion 870 c, the inclination of the rear surface It will roll to the base part 870a side, and the game ball stored in the normal guiding path 861 or the full tank guiding path 862 can be brought close to the base part 870a side. Thereby, the load of the game ball stored in the normal induction passage 861 or the full induction passage 862 is the base 870a attached to the lower case 867 in the first door plate portion 870b and the second door plate portion 870c. Since the first door plate portion 870 b and the second door plate portion 870 c can not be easily deformed because they act at close positions, the guideway opening / closing door 870 can be hardly damaged and durability can be enhanced.

  Further, as shown in the drawing, the plurality of recesses 870d of the guideway opening / closing door 870 are held at the positions where the game balls approach the base 870a side on the rear surfaces of the first door plate portion 870b and the second door plate portion 870c. It is arranged as. As a result, the gaming ball having circulated in the normal guiding path 861 or the full guiding path 862 fits in the recess 870d, thereby ensuring that the gaming ball can be brought to the base 870a side, as described above. An effect can be produced.

  Although not shown, the recess 870d extends in an arc shape with the base 870a as the center so that the guideway opening / closing door 870 can rotate even when a game ball is fitted.

  In this case, it is desirable that the left and right widths W of the normal guiding path 861 and the full tank guiding path 862 be different from an integral multiple of the diameter of the game ball. As a result, the game balls abutting on the rear side with respect to the game balls brought closer to the base 870a side by the rear surfaces of the first door plate portion 870b and the second door plate portion 870c are the normal guide path 861 and the full tank guide path. If it is in contact with the inner walls on the left and right outer sides of 862, the direction of the load acting from the rear game ball is directed obliquely forward toward the base portion 870a side, and to the base portion 870a side attached to the lower case 867 A large amount of load can be applied, and the above-described effects can be reliably exhibited.

  In the state where the second starter unit 2320 is assembled to the attacker unit 2300, the front end of the front case 2321 passes through the unit base 2301 from the rear side and is positioned on substantially the same plane as the front surface of the unit base 2301. Thus, the second start port 2004 opens forward. In a normal state where the start port solenoid 2324 is not energized, the second start port door member 2323 is immersed in the front case 2321, and the game ball flowing down in front of the second start port 2004 is the second start port. Without entering 2004, it passes down the second starting port 2004 and flows downward. On the other hand, when the starting opening solenoid 2324 is energized, the second starting opening door member 2323 is in a state of projecting forward than the second starting opening 2004. In this state, when a game ball flows down in front of the second start port 2004, the game ball comes into contact with the second start port door member 2323 and the flow direction changes from the lower side to the rear side. Accepted. The gaming balls received in the second starting opening 2004 are detected by the second starting opening sensor 2325, and then guided by the ball guiding member 2304 and discharged downward.

  The lower major prize opening unit 2350 is a unit case 2351 that is attached to the rear surface of the unit base 2301 and that has a rectangular lower major prize opening 2005 that is open to the left and right on the front, and the lower major prize opening 2005 can be opened and closed.

[5-8 d. Center feature]
Next, the center product 2500 of the table unit 2000 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. The center role 2500 is arranged slightly above the center of the front view above the starting opening unit 2100 and the attacker unit 2300 in the game area 5a, and is attached to the front of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. ing. The center product 2500 is formed in a frame shape, and the central liquid crystal display device 1500 disposed behind the game panel 1100 can be viewed from the front through the inside of the frame. The center accessory 2500 has an upper prize winning opening 2006 that allows a game ball to be received according to the game state. As shown in FIG. 83 and the like, a part of the lower part of the center product 2500 extends downward between the start opening unit 2100 and the attacker unit 2300 to the vicinity of the lower right rail 1004. That is, the center character 2500 separates the game area 5a from side to side.

  The center part 2500 is projected forward from the flange portion 2511 in the form of a flat frame like a frame which contacts the front surface of the panel plate 1110 along the periphery of the attachment port 1112 which is widely opened at the center of the panel plate 1112. A frame-shaped center base having a front peripheral wall 2512 for blocking the game ball from entering the cage frame, and a rear peripheral wall 2513 projecting backward from the flange 2511 and inserted into the mounting port 1112 It is equipped with 2510.

  The front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center base 2510 is formed over substantially the entire circumference of the flange portion 2511 except for a part of the lower side. The position of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 that is slightly to the left from the center in the left-right direction on the upper side is the highest.

  Further, the center accessory 2500 enters a warp inlet 2520 in which the game ball in the game area 5a is open on the outer peripheral surface of the lower left side when viewed from the front on the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center base 2510, and the warp inlet 2520. Warp passage 2521 for guiding the game ball to the lower end near the left end in the frame of the center base 2510, Warp outlet 2523 where the game ball can pass through at the downstream end of warp passage 2521, and Warp outlet 2523 And the stage 2530 for releasing the supplied game balls into the game area 5a while extending horizontally along the lower side within the frame of the center base 2510. ing.

  The stage 2530 is curved such that the left and right ends are high and the left and right sides of the portion corresponding to the center in the left-right direction of the game area 5a are the lowest, and the space between the lowest portions is bulged to be slightly higher. Yes. This stage 2530 is formed in a portion corresponding to the center in the left-right direction of the game area 5a, and is formed in a center guide groove 2531 cut out from the front end to the rear and two lowest portions, respectively. And a fan-shaped side guide groove 2532 that decreases toward the left and expands to the left and right. In the assembled state of the game board 5, the first starting port 2002 is located immediately below the central guide groove 2531, and the game balls released from the central guide groove 2531 into the game area 5a are first with a very high probability. Acceptable at the starting port 2002.

  Further, the center accessory 2500 is attached to the right end portion of the front side wall portion 2512 on the front side when viewed from the front, and guides the game ball that bounces back against the stop portion 1006 to roll in the direction of the upper game space 2541 described later. A unit 2540 is provided. The guide portion 2540 is formed as a member different from the center accessory 2500 and is attached to the center accessory 2500 to extend the right end portion in front view of the upper side of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 in the right direction in front view. In addition, the guide portion 2540 is formed of a resin having a stronger strength than the center accessory 2500. Specifically, the center accessory 2500 is formed of a PC resin (polycarbonate resin), while the guide portion 2540 is formed of a POM resin (polyacetal resin) that is more durable than the PC resin.

  As described above, when the game balls driven into the game area 5a come into contact with the stop portion 1006, the game balls loosen their momentum, but some of the game balls are moved by the stop portion 1006 to the front peripheral wall of the center accessory 2500. It is bounced back to the upper side of the part 2512. Further, in order to bring the game ball into contact with the stop 1006, most players rotate the handle lever 504 to the maximum to drive the game ball. It is stronger than normal games aimed at winning a prize. Then, when the game ball hit in this way is bounced back by the stop portion 1006, the center accessory 2500 may be damaged due to frequent drops on the upper side of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500. For this reason, the right end portion in front view of the upper side of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 is attached to the center accessory 2500 as a separate guide portion 2540 and is formed of a highly durable POM resin to prevent the center accessory 2500 from being damaged. ing. In this example, since all the center actor 2500 is not formed of POM resin, only the guide portion 2540 is formed of POM resin, so even if the guide portion 2540 is damaged, only the guide portion 2540 is replaced. Can be repaired easily, and can be easily repaired in the event of breakage.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 176 described later, the guide portion 2540 is attached to the center accessory 2500 so as to have a step with the front peripheral wall portion 2512. In this example, it is attached so that the upper side of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 is above the upper side of the guide portion 2540 in front view. As a result, when the game ball bounced back by the stopper 1006 reaches this step, it is returned to the upper game space 2541 without exceeding the step. In addition, the friction coefficient of the upper side of the guide portion 2540 is low due to a smooth mirror finish, and the game ball that could not exceed the step between the front peripheral wall portion 2512 and the guide portion 2540 is quickly flowed down to the upper game space 2541. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball clogging due to the game ball staying on the upper side of the guide portion 2540.

  Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 176 described later, the upper side of the guide portion 2540 is formed by a three-dimensional member that is longer than the right side (left and right sides). The upper side of the guide portion 2540 requires a certain length to receive the game ball bounced back by the hitting portion 1006, but the space in the game area 5a can be made by making the upper side and the right side (left and right sides) comparable. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the gaming machine decreases. Therefore, by forming the right side (left and right sides) of the guiding portion 2540 shorter than the upper side, a space in the up and down direction of the game area 5a is secured so as not to reduce the degree of freedom in designing the gaming machine.

  The center accessory 2500 is sandwiched between the guiding portion 2540 and the stop portion 1006, and an upper right entrance where the game balls in the game area 5a are open to be able to enter, and an upper side of the center base 2510 below the upper right entrance.

  The upper right entrance extends vertically with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball, and the upper portion extends upward. The upper game space 2541 is formed in such a size that the game ball can sufficiently move in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. In the upper game space 2541, an upper prize winning opening 2006 is opened to the left of the front view from the upper right entrance. In addition, the upper game space 2541 has a guide portion 2541a that is inclined immediately below the upper right entrance so as to become lower toward the right in front view. By this guide portion 2541a, the game ball that has fallen through the upper right entrance is rolled along the bottom surface of the upper game space 2541 without jumping up in the upper game space 2541 and smoothly guided to the right passage 2542. Can be made.

  The right passage 2542 has a plurality of protrusions 2542a extending in the vertical direction alternately extending in the vertical direction on the front and rear wall surfaces, and the game balls come into contact with the protrusions 2542a to allow the game balls to flow down. Can be attenuated. The lower right exit 2543 is opened immediately above the gate portion 2003 in the attacker unit 2300 in a state where the game board 5 is assembled. Although illustration is omitted, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted between the lower right exit 2543 and the gate portion 2003 in the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110).

  Further, the center accessory 2500 has an upper prize port door member 2550 that closes the upper prize port 2006, and an upper prize port solenoid 2551 that opens and closes the upper prize port door member 2550 according to the gaming state.

  The upper large winning opening door member 2550 opens and closes the upper large winning opening 2006 opened to the left in front view than the upper right entrance in the upper gaming space 2541. The upper large winning opening door member 2550 is rotatably mounted about an axis extending in the front-back direction in the vicinity of the bottom surface of the upper game space 2541 at the lower end on the left than the upper right entrance, and the upper end in the upright state It extends to the ceiling of the upper play space. The upper prize winning opening door member 2550 is upright in the normal state and closes the upper winning prize opening 2006. Then, when the upper prize winning solenoid 2551 is energized according to the gaming state, the upper prize opening 2006 is rotated so that the upper end moves to the right when viewed from the front and the game ball can be received. Open. In this state, the upper end of the upper prize winning opening door member 2550 is higher than the lower end and is positioned to the right in a front view than the upper right entrance. Therefore, the game balls dropped to the upper winning prize opening door member 2550 through the upper right entrance are guided by the upper winning prize opening door member 2550 and accepted in the upper winning prize opening 2006.

  The game ball received in the upper prize winning opening 2006 is detected by the upper prize winning opening sensor 2552 disposed at the lower left of the upper prize winning opening door member 2550, and then is behind the flange portion 2551 by the rear guiding path 2553.

  As shown in FIGS. 105 and 106 and the like, the back top decoration unit 3150 has a decoration base 3151 having a flat plate-like shaft portion 3151 a projecting cylindrically from the center of the rear surface, and a decoration base 3151. Attached to the front of the decorative base 3151 and three oval imitation of the head of a given character, and attached to the front of the decorative base 3151. And a C-shaped back decorative substrate 3153 on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted on the front surface.

  In addition, the back surface decoration unit 3150 is disposed at the rear of the back surface decoration body 3152 substantially at the center of the front surface of the decoration body base 3151 and extends in the left and right direction. Is attached to the front surface of the decorative body base 3151 so that it can be guided to the left and right by a guide shaft 3154, and has a guide slit 3156a extending vertically at the lower center in the left-right direction. A flat sub-sublayer slider 3156 and a front surface of the sub-sublayer slider 3156 are attached to the front and close a pair of openings 3152 a of the back upper decoration 3152 and have an oval shape at the portion facing the opening 3152 a The sub-upper decorative body 3157 provided with the sub-decoration 3157a and the rear side of the sub-upper decorative body 3157 Includes a backing on a secondary decorative substrate 3158 in which a plurality of LED on the front is attached to the front surface of the decorative body slider 3156 is mounted, the.

  Further, the back upper decorative body unit 3150 is attached to the rear upper sub drive motor 3159 attached to the vicinity of the lower end of the front surface of the decorative body base 3151 so that the rotation shaft extends left and right, and to the rotation shaft of the back upper sub drive motor 3159. It extends along the outer peripheral surface of the worm gear 3160 and the disk-shaped main body portion 3161a rotatably attached to the decorative body base 3151 above the worm gear 3160, and meshes with the worm gear 3160. Is projecting forward from the distal end of the extended piece 3161c and the extended piece 3161c extending from the outer peripheral surface of the main body 3161a opposite to the gear portion 3161b to the rear of the auxiliary decorative body slider 3156. It is slidably inserted into the guide slit 3156a of the sub decorative body slider 3156. Columnar slide pin 3161D, a gear member 3161 that has a, and a.

  In the back surface decoration unit 3150, the two openings 3152a of the back surface decoration 3152 form the outer periphery of the eye of a predetermined character, and the sub surface of the back surface sub decoration 3157 facing forward from the two openings 3152a. The decoration 3157a forms a pupil. The back upper decoration body 3152 and the back upper sub decoration body 3157 have translucency, and are decorated with light emission by the LEDs of the back upper decoration board 3153 and the back upper sub decoration board 3158 arranged at the rear of each. .

  As shown in the figure, in the back top decoration unit 3150, in the normal state, the head of the predetermined character being scooped by the back top decoration 3152 is in a state where the top and bottom are reversed. Further, the back upper decorative body unit 3150 can slide the back upper sub decorative body 3157 to the left and right with respect to the back upper decorative body 3152 by the rotational drive of the back upper sub drive motor 3159. Accordingly, a movable effect can be performed in which the pupil (sub-decoration 3157a) of the predetermined character being deceived by the backside decorative body 3152 crawls left and right.

  Subsequently, the operation of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 will be described in detail. First, the operation of the back upper sub decoration 3157 in the back top decoration unit 3150 will be described. As shown in FIG. 107 (a), in the normal state, the extension piece 3161c of the gear member 3161 is attached in a state of extending vertically upward. In this state, the sub-decorative body slider 3156 is positioned substantially at the center of the slide range extending in the left-right direction, and the two sub-decorations of the back-side sub-decoration body 3157 attached to the front surface of the sub-decorative body slider 3156 are provided. A decoration 3157 a is located approximately at the center of the two openings 3152 a of the back surface decoration 3152. That is, in the normal state, the predetermined character being scolded by the back surface decoration body 3152 is looking at the front.

  In this normal state, for example, when the worm gear 3160 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the right side view by the back and top auxiliary drive motor 3159, the gear member 3161b is engaged with the worm gear 3160 by the gear portion 3161b. It rotates in the clockwise direction, and the sliding pin 3161d located above the rotation center revolves to move leftward. As the sliding pin 3161d slides downward in the guiding slit 3156a due to the revolving movement of the sliding pin 3161d to the left, the sliding pin 3161d presses the inner surface of the guiding slit 3156a to the left, and the sub decoration The body slider 3156 slides to the left. As a result, the sub decoration 3157a moves to the left, so that the predetermined character crawled by the back top decoration 3152 is looking to the left (see FIG. 107 (b)).

  On the other hand, when the worm gear 3160 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the right side by the back side auxiliary drive motor 3159, the gear member 3161 is rotated clockwise by the gear portion 3161b engaged with the worm gear 3160. The sliding pin 3161d positioned above the rotation center revolves to move to the right. By the revolving movement of the sliding pin 3161d to the right, the sliding pin 3161d slides downward in the guide slit 3156a, and the sliding pin 3161d presses the inner surface of the guide slit 3156a to the right, and the auxiliary decoration The body slider 3156 slides to the right. As a result, the sub-decoration 3157a moves to the right, so that the predetermined character being deceived by the backside decorative body 3152 is looking right (see FIG. 107 (c)).

  In this way, the sub decoration 3157a can be moved to the left and right by the rotational drive of the back upper sub drive motor 3159. Therefore, depending on the gaming state, the predetermined character being deceived by the back upper decoration body 3152 can be seen. It is possible to perform a movable effect that changes the direction in which the user is. In addition, by reciprocating the sub decoration 3157a to the left and right, it is possible to perform a moving effect to make the eyes of a predetermined character being scolded by the back surface decoration body 3152 to be swayed, and a variety of moving effects are presented to the player can do.

  Subsequently, the lifting and lowering operation of the back-up decoration unit 3150 in the back-up movable effect unit 3100 will be described in detail. The back movable production unit 3100 of the present embodiment can raise and lower the back decorative body unit 3150 and can rotate the back decorative body unit 3150 by 180 degrees.

  First, the internal mechanism of the back movable effect unit 3100 for raising and lowering the back decorative body unit 3150 will be described. As shown in FIG. 108, FIG. 111, and the like, a back drive motor 3103 having a rotation axis directed in the front-rear direction is disposed at the right end in front view. The rotation center of the first driven gear 3105 that meshes with the drive gear 3104 attached to the rotation shaft of the backside drive motor 3103 is arranged in the lower left of the front view with respect to the rotation center of the drive gear 3104. The rotation center of the second driven gear 3106 meshing with the first driven gear 3105 is disposed at substantially the same height as the rotation center of the drive gear 3104 at the upper left of the front view with respect to the rotation center of the first driven gear 3105 There is. In addition, the rotation center of the first transmission member 3107 having the first transmission gear 3107 a meshing with the second driven gear 3106 is the rotation of the first driven gear 3105 at the lower left in front view with respect to the rotation center of the second driven gear 3106. It is placed at about the same height as the center. Furthermore, the rotation center of the second transmission member 3108 having the second transmission gear 3108a meshing with the first transmission gear 3107a of the first transmission member 3107 is the upper left in the front view with respect to the rotation center of the first transmission member 3107. It is disposed at a position higher than the rotation center of the second driven gear 3106.

  Further, the rotation center of the first transmission member 3117 to which the rotation from the first transmission member 3106 is transmitted is coaxial with the second driven gear 3106 at the upper right of the front view with respect to the rotation center of the first transmission member 3106 Placed in position. On the other hand, the rotation center of the second driven member 3122 to which the rotation from the second transmission member 3108 is transmitted is slightly left of the front view directly below the rotation center of the second transmission member 3108. It is arranged at a position lower than the rotation center. The rotation center of the second movable base drive member 3124 to which the rotation of the second driven member 3122 is transmitted is disposed on an axis extending vertically vertically through the rotation center of the second driven member 3122.

  In the normal state, the back upper decoration unit 3150 is located at the rising end in the upper and lower lifting range, and the top and bottom of a predetermined character crawled by the back upper decoration 3152 is reversed. In the normal state, as shown in FIG. 83 etc., most of the back-to-back decoration unit 3150 is located behind the center part 2500, and only a small part is a frame of the center part 2500. It can be viewed from the player side through the inside. That is, the back-upper decoration unit 3150 is located at the retracted position where it can hardly be seen from the player side in the normal state.

  When the back decorative unit 3150 is in the retracted position, the first transmission pin 3107b of the first transmission member 3107 is in front of the rotation center of the first transmission member 3107 as shown in FIG. 108 and FIG. The second transmission pin 3108b of the second transmission member 3108 is located at the upper left of the second transmission member 3108 with respect to the rotation center of the second transmission member 3108. It is located at a position inclined approximately 13 degrees to the right from the vertical line). Further, at this retracted position, the first action pin 3117b of the first transmitted member 3117 is a position inclining about 45 degrees to the upper left as viewed from the front with respect to the rotation center of the first transmitted member 3117 (leftward from the vertical line). ) And the first transmission slit 3117d of the first transmitted member 3117 is smaller than the axis line connecting the first action pin 3117b from the center of rotation (about 72 with respect to the vertical line). Extends towards the top left of the front view at an angle of

  Further, at the retracted position, the second transmission slit 3122c of the second driven member 3122 extends from the rotation center toward the upper left in a front view (an angle of about 36 degrees from the vertical line to the left). The second movable base drive member 3124 has a rotation center located above the rotation center of the second transmitted member 3122 and slightly below the rotation center of the second transmission member 3108, and has a second action. The pin 3124a is located at the upper right of the second movable base drive member 3124 in the front view (position inclined about 45 degrees to the right from the vertical line).

  Furthermore, at the retracted position, the first lock projection 3107 c of the first transmission member 3107 is inserted into the first lock recess 3117 e on one side (the one closer to the rotation center of the first transmission member 3107) of the first transmission member 3117. ing. Thereby, since the rotation of the first transmitted member 3117 is restricted (locked), the first movable base 3116 does not slide up and down. In addition, the second lock projection 3108 c of the second transmission member 3108 is inserted into the second lock recess 3122 d on one side of the second transmission member 3122 (one closer to the rotation center of the second transmission member 3108). As a result, since the rotation of the second power receiving member 3122 is restricted (locked), the second movable base drive member 3124 does not rotate, and the second movable base 3119 does not slide up and down.

  Further, when the back top decoration unit 3150 is at the retracted position, the back up and down elevation detection sensor 3112 detects a detection piece 3111 a of the left slider 3111 to which the first movable base 3116 is slidably attached vertically.

  When the back top decorative body unit 3150 is in the retracted position and the back top drive motor 3103 rotates the drive gear 3104 in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front, the back top movable production unit 3100 has the first driven gear 3105 and the first driven gear 3105. The first transmission member 3107 rotates in the clockwise direction via the second driven gear 3106 and the second transmission member 3108 rotates in the counterclockwise direction at the same speed. Then, first, the first transmission pin 3107d of the first transmission member 3107 starts to enter the first transmission slit 3117d of the first power receiving member 3117 (see FIG. 113 (b)).

  When the drive gear 3104 is further rotated counterclockwise and the first transmission member 3107 is further rotated clockwise, the first notch 3107d is rotated to the position of the first lock recess 3117e. The first lock protrusion 3107c is removed from the first lock recess 3117e, and the first transmission pin 3107b comes into contact with the inner surface of the first transmission slit 3117d to press the first transmission slit 3117d downward. Thus, the rotation of the first transmission member 3107 is transmitted to the first power receiving member 3117, and the first power receiving member 3117 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a front view. At this time, the first notch 3107d is located at the first lock recess 3117e, and the first lock protrusion 3107c is removed from the first lock recess 3117e (unlocked). Therefore, the first receiving member 3117 is rotated without blocking the rotation by the first lock projection 3107c (see FIG. 114 (c)).

  The first receiving member 3117 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a front view, whereby the first action pin 3117 b revolves downward and the first action pin 3117 b is slidably inserted. The first movable base 3116 slides downward through the single bearing slit 3118a. Since the back top decoration unit 3150 is attached to the first movable base 3116 via the second movable base 3119, the back top decoration unit 3105 also slides downward together with the first movable base 3116.

  When the first movable base 3116 slides downward, the second transmission guide portion 3123 d of the rotating link member 3123 extends vertically, and therefore, is attached to the first movable base 3116 and the second transmission guide portion 3123 d. The second movable base drive member 3214 having the second receiving guide 3124c guided to the bottom can move downward together with the first movable base 3116, and the first movable base 3116 slides smoothly.

  Then, when the drive gear 3104 is further rotated in the counterclockwise direction and the first transmission member 3107 is further rotated in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front, the first transmission pin 3107b is disengaged from the first transmission slit 3117d. The lock protrusion 3107c enters the other first lock recess 3117e different from the first lock recess 3117e into which the first lock protrusion 3107c was originally inserted. Thereby, the rotation of the first power receiving member 3117 is stopped, and the downward sliding of the first movable base 3116 is stopped (see FIGS. 109 and 114 (d)). This state is a state in which the first movable base 3116 is positioned at the lower end of the lifting range, and the back upper decorative body unit 3150 is positioned in the first appearance position. In the first transmission member 3107, the rotation range in which the first transmission pin 3107b is inserted into the first transmission slit 3117d of the first transmitted member 3117 is the first specific rotation range.

  In the state where the back surface decoration unit 3150 is in the first appearance position, in the state where the top and bottom are reversed similarly to the state of the retraction position, as shown in FIG. , From the inside of the center character 2500 to the player side. In the state of the first appearance position, since the pair of openings 3152a of the back surface decoration 3152 and the sub decoration 3157a facing the inside of the opening 3152a can be partially viewed from the player side, Accordingly, it is possible to present a movable effect such that a predetermined character that is deceived by the back upper decorative body 3152 is looking upside down from above.

  When the back decorative unit 3150 is in the first appearance position, the second transmission pin 3108b of the second transmission member 3108 rotating together with the first transmission member 3107 is transmitted to the second transmission member 3122 by the second transmission. It has not reached the slit 3122c. Further, the rotation center of the second movable base drive member 3124 attached to the first movable base 3116 is positioned below the rotation center of the second transmitted member 3122 and the second rotation link member 3123 has a second rotation center. Only the upper part of the second receiving guide 3124 c of the second movable base driving member 3124 is guided with respect to the transferring guide 3123 d.

  From the state in which the back decorative unit 3150 is in the first appearance position, the drive gear 3104 is further rotated counterclockwise, the first transmission member 3107 is further rotated clockwise, and the second transmission member 3108 is rotated. Is further rotated counterclockwise in a front view, the first transmission pin 3107b moves away from the first transmission slit 3117d, and the second transmission pin 3108b enters the second transmission slit 3122c of the second driven member 3122. (See FIG. 115 (e)).

  Then, when the drive gear 3104 is further rotated counterclockwise and the second transmission member 3108 is further rotated counterclockwise, the second notch 3108d is rotated to the position of the second lock recess 3122d. The second lock projection 3108c is disengaged from the second lock recess 3122d, and the second transmission pin 3108b comes into contact with the inner surface of the second transmission slit 3122c to press the second transmission slit 3122c to the right in front view. Thereby, the rotation of the second transmission member 3108 is transmitted to the second receiving member 3122 so that the second receiving member 3122 rotates clockwise in a front view. At this time, the second notch 3108d is located at the site of the second lock recess 3122d, and the second lock protrusion 3108c is released from the inside of the second lock recess 3122d (the lock is released). Therefore, the second driven member 3122 is rotated without blocking the rotation by the second lock projection 3108c (see FIG. 115 (f)).

  When the second transmitted member 3122 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, the first transmission guide portion 3122e formed on the front surface of the second transmitted member 3122 also rotates, so that the first transmission guide portion 3122e The rotary link member 3123 having the first transmitted guide portion 3123b guided so as to be slidable also tends to rotate in the same clockwise direction. On the other hand, the upper part of the second transmission guide portion 3124c of the second movable base drive member 3124 that is rotatably attached to the first movable base 3116 slides on the second transmission guide portion 3123d on the front surface of the rotary link member 3123. It is guided as possible. As a result, when the rotation link member 3123 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the first transmitted member 3122, the second transmission guide unit 3123d and the second transmitted guide are also rotated in an attempt to rotate the second transmission guide unit 3123d. An attempt is made to revolve the second movable base drive member 3124 around the rotary link member 3123 via the portion 3124c.

  However, since the second movable base drive member 3124 is rotatably attached to the first movable base 3116 and can not revolve around the rotating link member 3123, the force acting on the second transmission guide portion 3124c On the contrary, the rotary link member 3123 tries to revolve around the second movable base drive member 3124 by the reaction force. At this time, the rotating link member 3123 intersects the extending direction (first direction) of the first transmission guide portion 3122 e and the extending direction of the second transmission guide portion 3123 d (the first direction crosses the first direction). The rotary link member 3123 slides along the first direction and the second direction so that the force acting on the rotary link member 3123 can be reduced since it can slide in the second direction extending in the direction). It becomes. Thus, the rotation of the first driven member 3122 is transmitted to the second movable base drive member 3124 by the rotation of the rotation link member 3123 and the slide in the first direction and the second direction, and the second movable base drive member 3124 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front (see FIGS. 115 (f) to 116 (h)).

  In other words, the rotation link member 3123 is forcibly rotated by the second power receiving member 3122 by the first transmission guide portion 3122 e and the first power receiving guide portion 3123 b. When the rotation link member 3123 rotates clockwise in a front view, the second transmission guide portion 3123 d extending vertically in FIG. 115 (e) is inclined to rotate so that the upper end moves to the right. (See FIG. 115 (f)). When the second transmission guide portion 3123d rotates and tilts, the second movable base drive member 3124 attempts to revolve via the second transmitted guide portion 3124c guided by the second transmission guide portion 3123d. Since the base drive member 3124 is attached to the first movable base 3116 and can not revolve, the reaction force of the force acting from the rotation link member 3123 to the second movable base drive member 3124 causes the rotation link member 3123 to perform the first transmission. While sliding largely to the side (right side in front view) opened along the guide portion 3122e, the slide slightly along the second transmission guide portion 3123d to the rotation center side (downward) of the second movable base drive member 3124 The second movable base drive member 3124 rotates at the same angle as the angle at which the second transmission guide 3123 d is inclined.

  When the second movable base drive member 3124 rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, the second action pin 3124a revolves so as to move downward, so that the second action pin 3124a is slidably inserted. The second movable base 3119 slides downward via the second bearing slit 3119a. Since the back top decoration unit 3150 is attached to the second movable base 3119, the back top decoration unit 3105 slides along with the second movable base 3119 further downward from the first appearance position. At this time, the back upper decorative body unit 3150 is rotatably mounted by the shaft portion 3151a and the bearing hole 3119b of the second movable base 3119, and the decorative body rotation mounted on the rear end of the shaft portion 3151a. Since the gear 3120 meshes with the rack gear 3115a of the rack member 3115 attached to the first movable base 3116, when the second movable base 3119 slides downward, the back top decoration along with the decoration rotating gear 3120 The unit 3150 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front (see FIG. 115 (f) and the like).

  When the drive gear 3104 is further rotated in the counterclockwise direction, and the second driven member 3122 is further rotated in the clockwise direction via the second transmission member 3108, the rotating link member 3123 and the second driven member 3122 While rotating in the clockwise direction at the same angle, and further sliding to the open side along the first transmission guide 3122e, the center of the rotary link member 3123 is movable along the second transmission guide 3123d as the second movable The second movable base drive member 3124 is further rotated in the clockwise direction by sliding toward the rotation center of the base drive member 3124. As a result, the back top decoration unit 3150 slides further downward together with the second movable base 3119, and the back top decoration unit 3150 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction (see FIG. 116 (g)).

  Then, when the second transmission member 3108 is further rotated in the counterclockwise direction by further rotating the drive gear 3104 in the counterclockwise direction, the second transmission pin 3108 b is disengaged from the second transmission slit 3122 c and the second lock is performed. The protrusion 3108 c enters another second lock recess 3122 d different from the second lock recess 3122 d in which the second lock protrusion 3108 c was originally inserted. Thereby, the rotation of the second power receiving member 3122 is stopped, and the downward sliding of the second movable base 3199 is stopped, and the up-and-down position is 180 degrees with respect to the back appearance decoration unit 3150 at the first appearance position. It stops in the rotated state (refer FIG. 110 and FIG. 116 (h)). In this state, the first movable base 3116 and the second movable base 3119 are at the same time located at the lower end of the lifting range, and the back top decoration unit 3150 is at the second appearance position. . Further, in the second transmission member 3108, the rotation range in which the second transmission pin 3108b is inserted into the second transmission slit 3122c of the second driven member 3122 is a second specific rotation range.

  When the back surface decoration unit 3150 (back surface decoration body 3152) is in the second appearance position, the second lock projection 3108c of the second transmission member 3108 is in the second lock recess 3122d of the second power receiving member 3122 Since it is inserted, the second transmitted member 3122 is prevented from rotating, and the second movable base 3119 does not slide downward any further. Also, when the back surface decoration unit 3150 is in the second appearance position, as shown in FIG. 148, the top and bottom of the predetermined character being scooped by the back surface decoration body 3152 is in a normal state, and The upper decorative body 3152 is positioned substantially at the center in the frame of the center accessory 2500 so that the substantially entire back upper decorative body 3152 can be viewed from the player side.

  When the back-up decoration unit 3150 is lowered from the first appearance position to the second appearance position, the back-up movable effect unit 3100 is lowered while rotating the back-up decoration 3152 which has been reversed upside down while rotating 180 degrees. Can present to the player a movable effect located substantially in the center of the frame of the center character 2500 (the front of the central liquid crystal display 1500) in a normal state, and the player is greatly surprised. Can do.

  When the back upper decorative body unit 3150 is in the second appearance position and the drive gear 3104 is rotated in the range direction (clockwise in front view) by the back upper drive motor 3103, the back upper decorative body unit 3150 is rotated. Moves up to the retraction position through the first appearance position while the reverse motion is performed, and when the detection piece 3111 a of the left slider 3111 is detected by the back up and down elevation detection sensor 3112, the drive gear by the back up drive motor 3103 When the rotation of 3104 is stopped, the back top decoration unit 3150 returns to the retracted position.

  The back movable movable unit 3100 can lift and lower the back decorative unit 3150 from the retracted position to the first appearance position and from the first appearance position to the second appearance position in two stages. Apart from that, the back upper decorative body 3157 (sub decoration 3157a) can be slid to the left and right relative to the back upper decorative body 3152 (perpendicular to the vertical direction of the back upper decorative body 3152). By appropriately combining, various movable effects can be presented.

[5-9 f. Back lower front movable production unit]
Next, the back lower front movable effect unit 3200 of the back unit 3000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 117 and 118.

  However, in this normal state, the slide pin 3566a is located at the end of the guide slit 3561d on the rotation center side and cannot slide to the rotation center side any more. Accordingly, the connecting arm 3567 pulls the rotating decorative body base 3561 so as to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front via the guide slit 3561d. Since the rotation resistance of the rotation damper member 3565 acts on the rotation decoration base 3561 via the differential gear member 3562, the differential transmission gear 3563, and the damper gear 3564, the rotation resistance of the rotation damper member 3565 is resisted. As a result, the rotating ornament base 3561 rotates counterclockwise.

  When the rotary decoration base 3561 is rotated in the front counterclockwise direction, the slide pin 3566a of the decoration slider 3566 is located at the end on the rotation center side of the guide slit 3561d. The back-bottom and rear-turn decorative members 3568 attached to the 3566 are rotated toward the center of rotation and in contact with each other (see FIG. 135 (b)). In addition, during rotation of the four back and back rotating decorative bodies 3568 in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front, the center of rotation is made by the connecting arm 3567 on the decoration slider 3566 to which the back and back rotating decorative bodies 3568 are attached. Because of the force acting to slide in, there is no possibility that the rotary decorative body 3568 slides outward by centrifugal force.

  On the other hand, when the rotation drive gear 3554 is rotated counterclockwise by the front rear rotation drive motor 3553 in the normal state (see FIG. 136A, etc.), the drive gear member 3559 is connected together. The ring 3560 will rotate in the clockwise direction. When the connection ring 3560 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the connection arm 3567 is connected to the attachment hole 3560b via the base end pin 3567b, and the distal end hole 3567a of the connection arm 3567 is slid on the decorative body slider 3566. The slide pin 3566a attached to the distal end hole 3560a is moved via the guide slit 3561d because it tends to move toward the guide slit 3561d of the rotating decorative body base 3561 attached via the pin 3666a. It is attempted to rotate the rotating decoration base 3561 clockwise.

  However, the rotational ornament body base 3561 is rotated clockwise by the rotational resistance of the rotational damper member 3565 acting through the differential gear member 3562, the differential transmission gear 3563, and the damper gear 3564. The slide pin 3566a moves from the center of rotation to the outside direction along the guide slit 3561d (see FIG. 136 (b)). As a result, each slide pin 3566a (decorative body slider 3566) slides outward, so that each back-bottom rear rotating ornament 3568 slides outward so as to be separated from each other.

  When the connection ring 3560 further rotates in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the attachment hole 3560a reaches the axis of the guide slit 3561d in the rotating decorative body base 3561, the connection arm 3567 extends along the guide slit 3561d. At the same time, the side surface of the connection arm 3567 abuts on the rotation restricting member 3569, and the further rotation of the connection arm 3567 is prevented. In this state, the decoration body slider 3566 is slid to the outermost side via the connecting arm 3567, and the respective back lower back rotation decoration bodies 3568 are in the most separated state (see FIG. 136 (c)). ). In addition, in the state in which the back bottom back rotating decorative body 3568 is opened, the back bottom back fixed decorative body 3573 disposed behind the back bottom back rotating decorative body 3568 is visually recognized from between the back bottom back rotating decorative body 3568. (See FIGS. 133 (c) and (d) etc.).

  When the connection ring 3560 is further rotated clockwise in a front view in a state where the back and back rotation decoration 3568 is opened, the rotation of the connection arm 3567 is restricted by the rotation restriction member 3569, so that the rotation decoration is The base 3561 is rotated in the clockwise direction against the rotational resistance of the rotary damper member 3565, and is rotated in the clockwise direction with the rotary decorative body 3568 opened (see FIG. 136 (FIG. 136 (FIG. see d)). By turning the back decoration 3568 open, it becomes large and becomes noticeable and can surprise the player.

  In addition, when closing the back and bottom rear rotating decorative body 3568 in the open state, each of the back and rear back rotation driving motor 3553 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in front view opposite to the above, The back-bottom rear rotating decorative body 3568 slides toward the center of rotation and is in a closed state.

  In this manner, the back bottom back movable effect unit 3500 moves the back bottom back rotary decoration unit 3550 to the rising end position, so that the back bottom back rotary decoration body 3568 is within the frame of the center character 2500 (game area 5a ), And the rotating decorative body 3568 can be made conspicuous. In this state, the player can be surprised by rotating in the center of the game area 5a by rotating the back decoration device 3568 in the counterclockwise direction in a front view. In addition, when the back-to-back rear turn decorative body 3568 is rotated in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front, the back-to-back rear turn decorative body 3568 rotates in the state of being opened and enlarged, which can further surprise the player. A variety of movable effects can be presented to the player.

  In the back left movable effect unit 3400, the back left drive motor 3404 rotates the back left rotating decorative body 3410 to stop the third decorative surface 3410c forward (front) (see FIG. 151). And although illustration is omitted, in this state, when red light is emitted by the LED of the back left third decorative board 3417, a red pattern can be projected on the back left projection unit 3415, and blue light is emitted. Then, the blue design can be projected on the back left projection unit 3415. As a result, the symbol projected on the back left projection unit 3415 can indicate to the player the arrival of a chance or the like, and the player can be entertained or the expectation can be heightened.

  The back-right movable effect unit 3300 and the back-left moveable effect unit 3400 rotate the back-right rotation decoration body 3310 and the back-left rotation decoration body 3410 at the same time with the left and right ends (in the frame of the center accessory 2500). A movable effect can be performed on both the left and right outer sides of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, and the rotating back-right rotating decorative body 3310 and the back-left rotating decorative body 3410 enhance the player's expectation and suppress a decrease in interest. be able to. In addition, by appropriately selecting the decorative surface for stopping the rotation of the back-right rotation decoration body 3310 and the back-left rotation decoration body 3410, it is possible to diversify the patterns of movable effects and make it difficult for the player to get bored. .

  Further, in the back-under-back movable production unit 3500 of the back unit 3000, the back-under-bottom post-rotation decoration body 3568 is moved to a rising end position that is substantially the center within the frame of the center accessory 2500 by the rotational drive of the back-bottom back-up / down drive motor 3512. To rise. Then, when the back lower back rotating decorative body 3568 is at the rising end position, the back lower back rotating decorative body 3568 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front by the back lower back rotating drive motor 3553 (see FIG. 152). ). As a result, the back-bottom rear rotating decorative body 3568 that is slightly desired to the player side above the stage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 rises and is positioned at the center in the frame of the center accessory 2500, so that the player You can be surprised and think that there is something good, and you can raise the expectation for the game. In addition, since the back-bottom rear rotating decorative body 3568 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, it is possible to further increase the player's expectation for the game.

  In the back-to-back movable effect unit 3500, when the back-to-back rotary decorative body 3568 is at the rising end position, the back-to-back back-to-back rotary decorative body 3568 is rotated clockwise as viewed from the front. As a result, the four back and bottom rear rotating decorative bodies 3568 are opened and rotated so as to be separated from each other (see FIG. 153). As a result, the diameter of the lower back turning decorative body 3568 is larger than that when it is rotating counterclockwise, so that the player's expectation for the game can be further enhanced.

  Further, in the back four corner movable production unit 3600 of the back unit 3000, the back four corner first decorative bodies 3624 and 3664 are positioned within the frame of the center accessory 2500 from the retracted position by the rotational driving of the back four corner drive motors 3615 and 3655. Elevate to the emerging position (see Figure 154). This makes it possible to surprise the player by the appearance of the four back four corner first decorative bodies 3624 and 3664, and to suggest the arrival of a chance or the like.

  Further, in the back four-corner movable production unit 3600, the back four-corner second decorative bodies 3633 and 3673 are rotated from the retracted position to the appearance position located within the frame of the center accessory 2500 by the rotational driving of the back four-corner drive motors 3615 and 3655. Move (see Figure 153). As a result, the appearance of the four back four corner second decorative bodies 3633 and 3673 extending radially from the center of the center of the center object 2500 can surprise the player and something good. It can be made to think that there is, and it can be made to raise expectation for a game. The back four-corner movable effect unit 3600 rotates the back four-corner second decorative bodies 3633 and 3673 to the appearance position when the back-bottom rear-rotate decorative body 3568 of the back-bottom rear-movable effect unit 3500 is at the rising end position. It can appear as if a large shuriken appeared in the frame of the character 2500 (see FIG. 153). As a result, it is possible to convince the player of the occurrence of the advantageous gaming state, and it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game as much as possible and to enhance the interest in the game.

[6. Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board (particularly the main control MPU mounted on the main control board) will be described. FIG. 155 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU of the main control board when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 155 (a), the main control board according to this embodiment first performs various registers and main control as a process of step S1 on the condition that a RAM clear switch (not shown) is operated. Data stored in the internal RAM is initialized. The RAM clear switch is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 and can not be operated unless the body frame 4 is opened. In addition, the RAM clear switch outputs a clear signal to the main control board in response to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has passed since the power is turned on, and the main control MPU receives the clear signal when the power is turned on. When it is determined, initialization processing (step S1) is executed to initialize data stored in various registers and main control built-in RAM.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is shut off, backup processing is executed to save information (for example, various flags etc.) indicating the progress of the game in the main control built-in RAM. Then, if the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on and the RAM clear switch is not operated, the information stored in the main control built-in RAM is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). Execute recovery processing to recover to the state according to the information. In addition, when the RAM clear switch is operated when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the initialization process is performed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 in the initial state.

  Next, as the process of step S2, the update of the random number which is the number updated within a predetermined numerical range is performed. That is, in the main control board according to this embodiment, when the variable display of the first special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display and the second special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display are stopped. Special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for lottery processing for display mode, variable random numbers used for lottery processing for a predetermined time (variable time) required for variable display control of the special symbol The reach random number used in the lottery process for determining whether or not to execute the reach effect as the game effect executed in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in response to the variable display of the special symbol, and a big hit based on the special random number The symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) to be subjected to lottery processing for determining the type of big hit when it is determined, the operation trigger of the second start opening door member 2323 Etc. random number is subjected to such a lottery process to drop (usually random), and a random number counter for storing random numbers such.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first start opening 2002 is won, the second start opening 2004 is won. Even in this case, the reach random number is acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number. The reach determination table to be compared with the acquired reach random number may correspond to the first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and is different from the first reach determination table. You may make it vary the execution ratio of reach production by providing the 2nd reach determination table in which a determination value is set.

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

  FIG. 155 (b) is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU of the main control board.

  As shown in FIG. 155 (b), in the interrupt control, first, a register save process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as the process of step S12, the gate sensor 2305, the first starting opening sensor 2107, the second starting opening sensor 2325, the upper large winning opening sensor 2552, the lower large winning opening sensor 2354, the general winning opening sensor 3050 Detection signals from various sensors are input. Next, as a process in step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the random numbers, the random number counter is updated in such a manner that the random numbers (special random numbers, normal random numbers) related to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbols and the normal symbols are updated. The operation is performed.

  And after updating the random numbers in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board performs special symbol process processing including the lottery processing according to the display mode at the time of the fluctuation display stop of the special symbol as the processing of step S14. Run. In addition, although this special symbol process processing will be described later, here, basically, a special symbol process flag (a first special symbol process flag, a second that indicates the progress of the game stored in the main control built-in RAM) The corresponding processing is selectively executed based on the special symbol process flag).

  Then, next, the main control MPU of the main control board executes, as the processing of step S15, a normal symbol process process including a lottery process for a hit when the second start opening door member 2323 is triggered. Also in this normal symbol process processing, basically, the corresponding processing is selectively executed in accordance with the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. In addition, the main control MPU of the main control board is controlled such that the drive frequency of the second starting opening door member 2323 is higher in a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state (except for some big hits). It becomes a structure which performs a lottery process (what is called time saving state). In this embodiment, such a time saving state is realized by shortening the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol only for a predetermined period after the end of the big hit gaming state.

  Specifically, in the control of the time saving state (referred to as time saving control), the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to one-half (per 100%) and the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is not When it is shortened to a predetermined time (for example, 0.08 seconds) shorter than the short-time state and the lottery result of the normal symbol is successful, the second start port door member 2323 of the second start port 2004 is, for example, After moving forward for 5.5 seconds to enable the reception of gaming balls to the second starting opening 2004, the game is retracted again to disable the reception of gaming balls to the second starting opening 2004.

  On the other hand, in the non-time-short control, the second start is performed by setting the normal symbol winning probability to 0% and setting the time required for the normal symbol variation display control to a predetermined variation time (for example, 5 seconds). It becomes impossible to accept the game ball to the mouth 2004. In the non-short-time state, the normal symbol winning probability may be 0% or more. In this case, the winning probability is lower than that of the short-time state (for example, 50%), and the normal symbol lottery result is a win. Then, the second start port door member 2323 of the second start port 2004 is advanced for a time shorter than the time-short state, for example, 2 seconds to allow the game ball to be received in the second start port 2004 again. You may make it back and make acceptance of the game ball to the 2nd starting opening 2004 impossible.

  That is, in the non-time-short state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is 0%. In this case, even if the player hits the right, it is impossible to win a game ball at the second starting port 2004. Therefore, in the non-time-short state, the game ball is fired aiming at the left side of the center object 2500 (so-called “left” so that many game balls win the first start port 2002 instead of the second start port 2004. It is preferred to strike ").

  On the other hand, in the time saving state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is 100%, and in order to advance the second starting opening door member 2323 of the second starting opening 2004 for a long period (in this example, 5.5 seconds), In this case, it is easy to win a game ball to the second starting port 2004 by hitting right. Therefore, in the non-time-short state, the game ball is fired aiming at the right side of the center character 2500 so that many game balls win the second start hole 2004 instead of the first start hole 2002 (so-called "right It is preferable to hit “)”.

  In addition, as the time reduction control, the control for increasing the probability of winning the normal symbol than the non-time reduction state, the control for shortening the time required for the variable symbol display control of the normal symbol than the non-time reduction state, Control for extending the time period for advancing the two start port door members 2323 from the non-temporal state, control for increasing the number of times the second start port door member 2323 of the second start port 2004 is advanced than for the non-time state, Of the control for shortening the time required for the variable display control of the special symbol in the special symbol display or the second special symbol display (the time required for the variable display control of the decorative symbol in the central liquid crystal display device 1500) from the non-short-time state. Any one or any combination (or all) may be executed.

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

  Further, the main control MPU of the main control board performs an information output process of outputting data such as hit information supplied to the hole management computer, for example, as the process of step S18.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board performs the process of step S19 as the first start port sensor 2107, the second start port sensor 2325, the upper big prize port sensor 2552, and the lower big prize port sensor 2354. When a detection signal from the general winning a prize opening sensor 3050 or the like is in an ON state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board so that a prize ball corresponding to the signal is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU mounted on the payout control board outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 834 and pays out a prize ball to the player. In this example, when the game ball wins the first start port 2002 and the first start port sensor 2107 is turned on, “3 balls”, the game ball wins the second start port 2004 and the second start. When the mouth sensor 2325 is turned on, “1 ball”, a game ball wins a prize at the above-mentioned winning prize opening (upper winning prize opening 2006, lower winning prize opening 2005) and an upper winning prize sensor 2552 or a lower winning prize sensor 2354. Is turned “14 balls”, a game ball is won in the general prize opening 2001, and when the general prize opening sensor 3050 is turned on, “10 balls” are paid out to the player. ing.

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

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

  FIG. 156 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that random numbers provided for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 156, the main control MPU of the main control board first detects the first start port sensor 2107 On condition that the signal is in the on state (the first start opening 2002 is entered) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the random number counter and the main control built-in RAM The first starting opening passage process such as storing in the first special symbol hold storage area is executed (step S32). In addition, the second special random number of the second special symbol is the random number on condition that the detection signal by the second starting opening sensor 2325 is in the on state (there is entering the second starting opening 2004) (step S33) A second start-pass passage process such as obtaining from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol holding storage area of the main control built-in RAM is executed (step S34).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is controlled is set (step S35). If the big hit running flag is set, the big hit gaming state is controlled. A big hit control process (step S40) is performed. In the jackpot control process, the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped and the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped are “4R normal jackpot”. , “4R latent chance big hit”, or “4R chance variation big hit” is suggested, after the lower big prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or lower big prize winning opening 4R big hit gaming state (it's just long open 4R big hit gaming state) which repeats opening and closing pattern (round) to be closed when detected by the lower large winning opening sensor 2354 that 9 game balls are won in 2005 It may be called to control, and as a result of the lottery process about the display mode at the time of the change display stop of the first special symbol, it became the mode which suggests "16R sudden probability big hit" In addition, the opening / closing pattern in which the lower big prize opening 2005 is opened for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) and then closed is controlled 16 times repeatedly in a 16R big hit gaming state (sometimes referred to as a 16R big hit gaming state that is opened for a short time). Then, when the result of the lottery process regarding the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is a mode that suggests “8R probability variation big hit”, the lower major prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5). Seconds) or after closing the opening / closing pattern to be closed when the lower great prize opening sensor 2354 detects that nine game balls have been won in the lower big prize opening 2005, the lower big prize opening 2005 is shortened. Open / close pattern that is closed after opening for a time (for example, 0.5 seconds) is controlled to 8R jackpot gaming state that repeats 8 times (sometimes referred to as 8R jackpot gaming state that is open for a long time). When the result of the lottery process regarding the display mode at the time when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped is a mode that suggests "16R probability variation big hit", the upper prize winning opening 2006 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5). 16R big hit gaming state (simply open for a long time) that repeats the opening / closing pattern to be closed 16 times when the above-mentioned top prize winning hole sensor 2552 detects that nine game balls have been won at the top prize winning opening 2006. (Sometimes referred to as a 16R big hit gaming state). In addition, the lower big prize opening sensor 2354 detects that nine game balls have been won after the lower big prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) in the 4R big hit gaming state or at the lower big prize opening 2005. In this example, the opening / closing pattern (round) that is closed when closed is repeated 4 times, but after that, the lower closing prize opening 2005 is opened for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) and then the opening / closing pattern that is closed is repeated 12 times. By substantially executing the control of the 4R big hit gaming state, the opening / closing pattern for controlling the opening / closing of the lower big prize opening 2005 is always repeated 16 times regardless of the type of the big hit when the big hit gaming state is reached. Yes, after 8 hours of winning the 8R big win game state, after opening the Shimodai prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or having 9 game balls won in the Shimodai prize opening 2005 The opening / closing pattern that is closed when it is detected by the lower major prize opening sensor 2354 is repeated eight times, and then the lower major prize opening 2005 is opened for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds), and then the opening / closing pattern to be closed is not performed. You may do it. That is, as long as the number of repetitions of rounds capable of receiving the game ball in the lower large winning opening 2005 is substantially the same, the number of times is not limited to the above.

  In the present embodiment, a left-handed state in which a game based on a winning of a game ball mainly at the first starting port 2002 is executed, and a game based on a winning of a game ball mainly at the second starting port 2004 is executed. Control to either of the right-handed state and the left-handed state. Specifically, when the time saving control is being performed, control is performed in the right-handed state, and when time reduction control is not performed, control is performed in the left-handed state. In a left-handed state, a long-open big hit game state of up to 8 rounds is executed, and in a right-handed state, a long-open big hit game state of up to 16 rounds is executed. It is possible to obtain more balls than in the left-handed state.

  Also, in the big hit control process, after performing open control of such big winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006, lower large winning opening 2005), each set processing of high probability flag, time saving flag, and time saving number counter Run. The high probability flag is a flag indicating a high probability state, and is used in the big hit determination process shown in FIG. 161 described later and is set until the next big hit occurs (the first shown in FIG. 166 described later). Special symbol stop processing or second special symbol stop processing not shown).

  The short-time flag is a flag indicating that time-shortening control is being executed (low probability time short state, high probability time short state), and a big hit (time low control state, low probability time short state) is performed after the big hit gaming state is over 4R probability variation big hit, 16R hit probability hit, 8R probability variation big hit, 16R big hit gaming state based on) is set when you end the big hit game state, when it becomes the next big hit the first special symbol stop processing which is shown in Figure 166 which it mentions later Or it is reset by the 2nd special symbol stop processing which is not illustrated.

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

  FIG. 157 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first starting opening passage process (step S32).

  If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 2107 is in an on state and a game ball has entered the first start port 2002, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU of the main control board first acquires the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S41.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board acquires the counter value by the first special hold number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and the hold number of the first special symbol is the maximum value (upper limit based on this counter value) It is determined whether the value is “4” (step S42). In the process of step S42, when it is determined that the number of reservations of the first special symbol is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put variable display control of the first special symbol into a state of suspension The processing of S43 to S44 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S43, the first special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the process of step S44, the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM, each random number acquired in the step S41. And finish the process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S42 that the number of reserved first special symbols is the maximum value (if so-called "irregular sphere" occurs), the first special symbol variation display Control is not newly suspended. That is, without executing the processing of step S43 to step S44, each random number acquired in step S41 is stored in the first special symbol non-lottery storage area among the storage areas of the main control built-in RAM (step S45), by finishing the process, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 158 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second start port passage process (step S34).

  Now, if it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2325 is in the on state and it is determined that the game ball has entered the second start port 2004, as shown in FIG. In step S51, the main control MPU of the main control board first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter.

  Next, the main control MPU of the main control board obtains the counter value by the second special reserved number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and based on this counter value, the reserved number of the second special symbol is the maximum value. It is determined whether it is "4" (step S52). In the process of step S52, if it is determined that the second special symbol hold count is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol on hold. Processing of S53 to S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the processing of step S53, the second special reservation number counter is counted up (added by 1). Next, as the processing of step S54, the second special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special reservation number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM is used as the random number acquired in step S51. Store in and complete the process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S52 that the number of the second special symbol hold is the maximum value (when a so-called “blurred ball” occurs), the variable display of the second special symbol is displayed. Control is not newly suspended. That is, without executing the processing of step S53 to step S54, each random number acquired in step S51 is stored in the second special symbol non-lottery storage area in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM (step S55), by finishing the process, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly put on hold.

  When the number of reservations for the first special symbol changes based on the game ball entering the first starting opening 2002, a command (first suspension) indicating the number of reservations for the first special symbol in the storage process (step S20) Set the number specification command 0 to 4) and send it to the peripheral control board, and the above storage process (step S20) when the number of reservations for the second special symbol changes based on the game ball entering the second starting opening 2004 ) Sets a command (second hold number designation command 0 to 4) for instructing the number of hold of the second special symbol, and transmits it to the peripheral control board. In addition, when a random number is stored in the first special symbol non-lottery storage area on the basis of the game ball entering the first starting opening 2002, a command to notify the random number (first irregular ball specification command) is also described above. When a random number is stored in the second special symbol non-lottery storage area based on the game ball having been set by storage processing and transmitted to the peripheral control board and the game ball enters the second starting port 2004, the random number is notified A command to be performed (second play ball designation command) is also set by the above-described storage processing and transmitted to the peripheral control board. In addition, when the first and second ball commands are transmitted to the peripheral control board in the storage process, the memory contents of the first special symbol non-lottery storage area and the second special symbol non-lottery storage area are cleared.

  FIG. 159 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol process (step S38). The first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process and the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for the determination. Since only the table is different, only the first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process will be described here. In the first special symbol process processing, one of the following five process processings will be selectively executed according to the first special symbol process flag.

  1. First special random symbol stored in the main control built-in RAM is read, and based on the read first special random number, the first special symbol is subjected to lottery processing etc. for the display mode at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the first special symbol. Normal processing (step S80)

  2. The first special symbol stop symbol setting process in which the determination process of the mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode at the time of the variation control stop of the first special symbol (step S81 )

  3. A lottery process for the variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display based on the variable random number and the variation mode of the effect display executed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 corresponding to the special symbol. First variation pattern setting process (step S82)

  4. First special symbol variation processing that waits until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display is stopped (step S83).

  5. The first special symbol is displayed on the first special symbol display so that the first special symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control is stopped is displayed. First special symbol stop processing to stop the variation display of the first special symbol (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is manipulated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S80) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 155).

  FIG. 160 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 160, the main control MPU of the main control board first performs step S101. As processing, it is determined whether or not there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension based on the counter value by the first special suspension number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the state of suspension, then it is stored in the first special symbol suspension storage area of the main control built-in RAM as processing of step S102. Main control built-in RAM is the random number stored in the first storage area among the random numbers related to the display mode of the first special symbol (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the variable random number) Read from. Then, next, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special holding number counter is counted down, and the first special stored in each storage area of the first special symbol holding storage area of the main control built-in RAM A shift operation is performed on a random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) relating to a display mode at the time of stop of variation display of symbols in a first-in first-out mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol hold storage area has four storage areas (first special symbol hold storage area a to first special symbol hold storage area d), and the start winning combination to the first starting opening 2002 The random numbers extracted according to the generation are stored in order from the first (first) area. Then, when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, when the start winning is generated, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, and the first When the variable display start condition based on the random numbers stored in the storage area of is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Various random numbers are moved to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. Thus, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the first special symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first). become. Similarly, the second special symbol holding storage area has four storage areas (second special symbol holding storage area a to second special symbol holding storage area d), and in response to the occurrence of the start winning to the second starting opening 2004 The random numbers extracted in this manner are stored in order from the first (first) area. Then, when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, when the start winning is generated, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area, and the first When the variable display start condition based on the random numbers stored in the storage area of is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Various random numbers are moved to the (N−1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. Thus, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the second special symbol occurs is stored so as to be identifiable, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension occurring first). become.

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

  FIG. 161 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the big hit determination process (step S105).

  If the current gaming state is a high probability state (high probability short-time state, high probability non-short-time state) (step S111), the main control MPU of the main control board is a big hit at the high probability shown in FIG. 162 (A). If a determination table is selected (step S112) and the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), the low probability jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 162 (A) is selected (step S113). The big hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S114).

  As shown in FIG. 162A, the big hit determination table is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and the gaming state is low probability (low probability non-time short) for each type of special random number (first special random number, second special random number) The jackpot determination table for low probability used in the case of the state and the low probability time reduction state, and the jackpot determination at high probability used when the gaming state is high probability (high probability non-short state, high probability time short state) And a table. And, in the jackpot determination table at low probability to be compared with the first special random number, it matches with the jackpot judgment value indicating that one kind of first special random number is won in the jackpot, and the first 399 kinds of first random numbers The first special random numbers are respectively associated with each other so as to coincide with the outlier judgment value indicating that the special random numbers are the above outliers (big hit probability at low probability; 1/400). Also, in this example, in the second special symbol process processing executed in step S39 of the special symbol process processing, in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability, which is referred to compare with the second special random number, the first special random number Matches with the jackpot judgment value indicating that one kind of second special random number is won as a jackpot similarly to the low probability big hit judgment table to be referred to for comparison with the above, and the 399 kinds of second special random numbers deviate from the above The second special random numbers are respectively associated with each other so as to coincide with the out-of-range judgment value indicating that the value is (big hit probability at low probability; 1/400).

  Further, in the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability that is referred to for comparison with the first special random number, the ten types of first special random numbers coincide with the jackpot determination value, and the 390 types of first special random numbers are lost determination values. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with each other (a jackpot probability at a high probability; 1/40). In this example, in the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process, the first special random number is used in the high probability jackpot determination table that is referred to for comparison with the second special random number. Similar to the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability, which is referred to for comparison with the jackpot determination value indicating that the ten types of second special random numbers have won the jackpot, 390 types of second special random numbers deviate from the above. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the out-of-range judgment value indicating that the (big hit probability at high probability; 1/40). Note that the jackpot determination value set in the jackpot determination table referred to compare with the first special random number and the jackpot determination table referred to compare with the second special random number (the number of jackpot determination values is the same number). The jackpot judgment value may be different (the jackpot probability is common), or the number of jackpot judgment values may be different (the jackpot probability is different)) may be different. In this case, at least one of the jackpot determination values of the low probability jackpot determination table and the high probability jackpot determination table may be made different (both may be made different).

  If the main control MPU of the main control board determines that the jackpot is determined as a result of the comparison between the selected jackpot determination table and the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S115). Then, a big hit flag indicating that the change is won for the big hit is set (step S116), and the big hit determination process is terminated.

  Further, when it is determined in step S115 that a loss occurs, the reach determination table is compared with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119).

  A reach determination table (not shown) is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and is used when the gaming state is in a high probability non-short-time state, and when the gaming state is in a high-probability short-time state. Reach determination table used in the case of high probability short-time state, and reach determination table in low-probability state used when the gaming state is low-probability state (low probability non-short-time state and low probability short-time state), Is equipped. Then, in the reach determination table in the high probability time reduction state, it is matched with the reach determination value indicating that one kind of reach random number reaches the reach, and matched with the reach determination value indicating that the 71 reach random numbers do not reach The reach random numbers are associated with each other.

  Further, the reach determination table in the low probability state has one reach determination value indicating that five types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number set in the reach determination table in the high probability short time state reach. Then, the reach random numbers are associated with each other so that the 67 kinds of reach random numbers coincide with the reach determination value indicating that the reach is not reached. Thus, in this embodiment, in the low probability state, the reach determination value indicating the reach is increased compared to the high probability time short state.

  Furthermore, in the reach determination table in the high probability non-short-time state, 6 types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number set in the reach determination table in the high-probability short-time state and the low-probability state are reached. The reach random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the reach determination value indicating that the 66 types of reach random numbers do not reach. As described above, in this embodiment, the reach determination value indicating reach in the high probability non-short-time state is higher than that in the high-probability short-time state and the low-probability state (low-probability short-time state, low-probability non-short-time state). Enhanced.

  The main control MPU of the main control board compares the selected reach determination table with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119). A reach flag indicating reach is set and the process is terminated (step S121).

  FIG. 163 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 163, the main control MPU of the main control board firstly The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of one special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the jackpot determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S131).

  If the big hit flag is set in step S131, the main control MPU selects the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 162 (B) and selects the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process. A big hit symbol as a mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of variation control stop of the first special symbol is determined by comparing with the designated symbol determination table (step S132).

  As shown in FIG. 162 (B), the symbol determination table has random numbers according to the determination results (4R normal big hit, 4R latent big hit, 4R positive big hit, 16R positive big hit, 8R positive big hit, 16R positive big hit) The first symbol random number and the second symbol random number) are stored in association with each other. The main control MPU of the main control board determines the type of the big hit by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the first symbol random number is set different from the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the second symbol random number. ing.

In particular,
1. Opening and closing to be closed when the lower large winning opening sensor 2354 detects that the lower large winning opening 2005 has been opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or that the lower large winning opening 2005 has nine game balls The game ball can enter the lower large winning opening 2005 by repeating the pattern 4 times (easily) to control the 4R big hit gaming state, and then the low probability short time until the big hit gaming state occurs (so-called normal state) 4R normal big hit to control

  2. Open / close to close when the lower major prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the lower major prize opening sensor 2354 detects that nine game balls have been won at the lower major prize opening 2005 By repeating the pattern four times, the game ball is controlled to a 4R big hit game state that can enter the lower big prize opening 2005 (easy), and then controlled to a high probability non-short time state until the big hit game state occurs. 4R latent probability big hit to perform the effect that it is difficult to determine that it is controlled to the probability state

  3. Open / close to close when the lower major prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when the lower major prize opening sensor 2354 detects that nine game balls have been won at the lower major prize opening 2005 By repeating the pattern four times, the game ball is controlled to the 4R big hit gaming state that can enter the lower big prize opening 2005 (easy), and then controlled to the high probability time short state until the big hit gaming state is generated.

  4. The game ball controls the 16R big hit gaming state where it is difficult for the game ball to enter the big winning prize port 2005 by repeating the opening / closing pattern to be closed after opening the lower big winning prize port 2005 for a short time (for example 0.5 seconds) 16 times The game is controlled to the high probability time short state until the big hit gaming state occurs, and the effect of whether the transition control to the high probability time short state is suddenly controlled without the occurrence of the big hit gaming state in the middle of the game is executed

  5. Opening and closing to be closed when the lower large winning opening sensor 2354 detects that the lower large winning opening 2005 has been opened for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or that the lower large winning opening 2005 has nine game balls After repeating the pattern eight times, the game ball can enter the lower large winning opening 2005 by repeating the opening / closing pattern to be closed after opening the lower large winning opening 2005 for a short time (for example, 0.5 seconds) (easy ) 8R big hit game state is controlled, and until the next big hit gaming state occurs, it is controlled to a short state with high probability.

  6. Opening and closing that is detected when the upper prize winning opening sensor 2006 detects that nine gaming balls have won in the upper prize winning opening 2006 after opening the upper prize winning opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) The game ball is controlled to 16R big hit gaming state where it is possible (easier) 16R big hit game state by repeating the pattern 16 times, then it is controlled to high probability time short state until the big hit game state occurs next 16R probability variation big hit

  In the left-handed state, the gaming ball does not pass through the gate portion 2003, and the driving of the second starting opening door member 2323 is not performed. Therefore, in the left-handed state, the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 2004 does not occur, only the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 2002 occurs, and there is a holding ball of the second special symbol Except for the case, only the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display is executed, and the big hits related to the first special symbol (4R normal big hit, 4R latent big hit, 4R positive big hit, 16R sudden big hit, 8R positive big change Jackpot) will occur. Similarly, in the right-handed state, the game ball is not won at the first start port 2002. Therefore, in the right-handed state, only the winning of the game ball to the second start opening 2004 occurs, and the change of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display except when there is a holding ball of the first special symbol. Only the display is executed, and a big hit (4R normal big hit, 4R low probability big hit, 4R positive variation big hit, 16R positive variation big hit) associated with the second special symbol will occur.

  In addition, the jackpot related to the first special symbol can be repeatedly opened and closed eight times at the maximum lower prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds), whereas it is related to the second special symbol. In the case of a big hit, the opening / closing pattern that opens the upper prize winning opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) can be repeated 16 times, and the lower prize winning opening 2005 related to the first special symbol is opened for a long time ( For example, 28.5 seconds), the upper prize winning opening 2006 related to the second special symbol is opened for a longer time (for example, 28.5 seconds) than the ratio (31%) determined for the 8R probability variation big hit that repeats the opening / closing pattern of 8 times. In order to set the ratio (63%) determined for the 16R probability variation jackpot that repeats the opening / closing pattern 16 times to about twice, mainly based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 2004 Technique it is possible to obtain a large amount of prize balls mainly compared to the left-handed state a player based on the winning of the game balls to the first start hole 2002 is executed in a right-handed state which is executed.

  When the 4R normal jackpot is determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process, the 4R normal jackpot symbol is determined as the jackpot symbol, and when the 4R latent probability jackpot is determined, the 4R latent jackpot symbol is determined as the jackpot symbol. When the 4R probability variation big hit is decided, the 4R probability variation big hit symbol is decided as the big hit symbol, when the 16R sudden variation big hit is decided, the 16R sudden variation big hit symbol is decided as the big hit symbol, and when the 8R probability variable big hit is decided The 8R probability variable big hit symbol is determined as the big hit symbol. Although not shown, when the 4R normal big hit is determined in the second special symbol stop symbol setting process, the 4R normal big hit symbol is determined as the big hit symbol, and when the 4R latent big hit symbol is determined, the 4R latent big hit symbol is determined as the big hit symbol. When the big hit symbol is determined, the 4R probability variable big hit symbol is determined as the big hit symbol, the 4R probability variable big hit symbol is determined, and when the 16R probability variable big hit symbol is determined, the 16R probability variable big hit symbol is determined.

  In addition, if the big hit flag is not set in step S131, the main control MPU of the main control board determines that the first special symbol is out of pattern as the variation stop state (step S136), and counts the above big hit interval The counter is incremented by 1 (step S135 b), and the process proceeds to step S137.

  Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board, as the process of step S137, indicates the above lottery result (type of big hit, reach out, or out ((No. The determination result notification command according to each lottery result is set so that the mode of the stop symbol of one special symbol may be indicated)) is transmitted to the peripheral control board. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process proceeds to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) as the process of step S138, this process is ended.

  The peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board controls the display of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 based on the received determination result notification command and the variation pattern command (the left decoration, the left decoration, and the left decoration are displayed in a variable manner). Stop display in the order of symbol → right decorative symbol → middle decorative symbol (Note that the left, middle and right decorative symbols may be variably displayed in synchronization with the same symbol and may be stopped at the same time). Specifically, the peripheral control MPU specifies 4R normal big hit out of big hits from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) when the decoration symbols displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 are stopped. Is determined to be a 4R normal jackpot symbol (the combination of the left, middle and right decorative symbols from “0” to “9” being the same even symbol), and the 4R latent big jackpot is specified among the big jackpots Is determined to be a 4R latency big hit symbol (a combination of the same left and middle decorative symbols of “0” to “9”, which is the same even symbol as the 4R normal big hit symbol). If 4R probability variation big hit is specified, 4R probability variation big hit symbol is determined (combination where the left, middle and right decorative symbols are all “1” or “9”), and 16R sudden big hit is identified among the big hits 16R sudden hit big hit When the design (the combination of the left, middle, and right decorative designs including all the designs of “1”, “3”, and “5”) is determined, and 8R probability variation big hit is specified among the big hits, 8R probability variation big hit When the symbol (the combination where the left, middle and right decorative symbols are all “5”) is determined, and the 16R probable big hit is specified among the big wins, the 16R probable big hit symbol (the left, middle and right decorative symbols are all The combination is “7”. In addition, when a reach loss is specified, a design with a reach (a combination of symbols having the same left and right decorative designs of “0” to “9” but having a different middle decorative design; reach lose If it is determined to be a symbol, and it is determined that it is out of place, it is determined to be a symbol that does not have reach (a combination of at least the left, right, and right decorative symbols among the left, middle, and right decorative symbols). When the fluctuation time specified from the pattern command has elapsed (when the game effect is ended), display control of the determined stop symbol is performed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500.

  FIG. 164 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 164, the main control MPU of the main control board has the big hit flag set. If so (step S141), the variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of the big hit according to the type of big hit determined at step S132 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is selected (step S142), and the reach flag is set. If so (step S145), the variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach is selected (step S146), and if neither the big hit flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, a normal deviation (reach effect). If it is an error that does not execute, select a fluctuation pattern table (not shown) at the time of error. (Step S147).

  Then, a variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S148), and the determined variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display is started (step S149). Further, the main control MPU sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S150). Then, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol variation processing (step S83) (step S155), this processing is terminated. As a result, the first special symbol display is subjected to variable display control by the first special symbol display for the variation time determined in this manner, and the central liquid crystal display device 1500 performs effect control in synchronization with the variable symbol variable display. Will be done.

  A plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided for each determination result based on special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). The variation patterns set in each variation pattern table include a plurality of variation time information indicating predetermined times (variation times) required for variation display control of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Each variable random number is stored in association with each other. Therefore, the main control MPU selects the selected variation pattern table from the plurality of types of variation pattern tables corresponding to the determination result based on the special random number and the design random number, and the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process. Are compared, and fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is acquired from this table to determine the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). Thereby, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The fluctuation pattern table is stored in the main control built-in ROM.

  Further, in the variation pattern table at the time of reach in the present example, it is set so as to determine the type type of reach effect to be executed by comparing the determination value indicating which reach effect is to be performed with the change random number. . For example, 164 kinds of random numbers among 241 kinds of random numbers are set as determination values (0 to 163) indicating that any one of the normal reach effects is executed, and 59 kinds of random numbers are super reach with a low expectation degree of jackpot A judgment value (223 to 240) which is set as a judgment value (164 to 222) indicating that one of the effects is to be executed, and indicates that 18 kinds of fluctuating random numbers are to execute any of the super reach effects having a high hit probability. Set as). Super-reach production has a higher jackpot expectation than normal reach production, and when a player who wants to generate a big hit gaming state has a player's expectation for the big hit gaming state when the super reach production is executed. It is getting higher.

  In addition, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time of loss, which is provided corresponding to the first special random number and the first symbol random number and used to determine the fluctuation time of the first special symbol, it is common to the non-short-time state and the short-time state. The variation time of 12 seconds is set. On the other hand, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time of loss, which is provided corresponding to the second special random number and the second symbol random number and is used when determining the fluctuation time of the second special symbol, the fluctuation time of 0.3 seconds is set as the short time state. Is set, and a variation time of 12 seconds is set as the non-short time state. In this way, the variation time of the first special symbol is the same in the short-time state and in the non-short-time state, prompting the game ball to win the second starting port 2004 during the short-time state, and the player starting the second time The time for winning the game ball to the mouth 2004 is secured.

  Further, as described above, in the right-handed state, only an interval through which one game ball can pass is provided to restrict the rolling of the game ball, and guide to the gate unit 2003 and the second start port 2004 with a very high probability. Be done. That is, in the right-handed state, the game ball is configured to pass through the gate portion 2003 with a very high probability, and the normal symbol is a hit, and the second start port door member 2323 of the second start port 2004 is advanced. In this case, the game balls are received by the second starting opening 2004 with a very high probability (approximately all of the game balls hit to the right of the center character 2500). In the short time state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to be about 100%. When the normal symbol is hit, the second start port door member 2323 of the second start port 2004 is set for a long period (5.5 in this example). It is maintained in the advanced state for a second), and the game ball can be received into the second start port 2004. In this example, when the player is operating the handle lever 504, the game balls are fired at intervals of 0.6 seconds. Then, when the launched game ball is driven to the right side of the center object 2500, the game ball is accepted to the second start port 2004 with a very high probability, and therefore the second start port door of the second start port 2004 in a short time state. In a state in which the member 2323 moves forward and the game ball can be received in the second start port 2004, a game ball wins in the second start port 2004 occurs at intervals of about 0.6 seconds. In this example, as described above, in the variation pattern table at the time of the second special symbol losing based on the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 2004, the very short variation time is set to 0.3 seconds. . In addition, the interval time from when the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is stopped to when the fluctuation display is started again is set to about 0.6 seconds. That is, in the short time state, the execution interval of the variable display of the second special symbol is extremely shortened compared to the non-short time state (variation time 12 seconds, interval time 0.6 seconds), and the game ball to the second start port 2004 is reduced. Since the difference between the winning interval and the execution interval of the variation display of the second special symbol is narrowed in the short time state, even if a large amount of game balls win the second starting port 2004 in a very short time, The variable display is performed in a very short time to prevent the increase in the number of holdings of the second special symbol, and in the above-described short time state, the number of variable displays per unit time increases significantly as compared with the non-short time state. This makes it possible to win the next big hit in a very short time compared to the previous gaming machine in the high probability short-time state that is controlled to shift to the right-handed state, and a large amount of prize balls can be obtained in a short time , Can improve the game entertainment.

  FIG. 165 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation processing is to be performed, as shown in FIG. 165, the main control MPU of the main control board first performs step S171. As a process, 1 is subtracted from the variation timer in which the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the variation pattern is set. Then, if it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the above-mentioned lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process proceeds to the first special symbol stop process (step S84) in the process of step S173, this process is ended.

  FIG. 166 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 166, the main control MPU of the main control board first performs step S181. As processing, while performing display control for displaying the stop symbol determined by the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing on the first special symbol display, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 displays the first special symbol. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board (step S182).

  When the big hit flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU of the main control board sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is started (step S187), and the big hit gaming state A standby time until the start of (a time to display a message to start the big hit gaming state, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Then, a big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set, and if the high probability flag is set, the high probability flag is reset, and if the short time flag is set, The time saving flag is reset (step S189), and when the first special symbol process flag is updated to be process transition to the first special symbol normal processing which is an initial value (step S194), this processing is ended. The big hit start command is a command to be transmitted to the peripheral control board, and is prepared individually according to the type of big hit. In step S187, a big hit start command (4R normal big hit start command, 4R latent big hit per 4R normal big hit, 4R positive big hit, 4R positive big hit, 16R sudden big hit, 8R positive big hit, 16R positive big hit) Set the start command, 4R probability variation big hit start command, 16R hit probability big hit start command, 8R probability variation big hit start command, 16R probability variation big hit start command). As a result, an effect of the jackpot gaming state according to the type of jackpot instructed by the jackpot start command is executed by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like.

[7. Control processing of peripheral control board]
Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board will be described. FIG. 167 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for control performed by the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 167, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU performs an initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing a RAM built in the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board is performed. Note that interrupts are disabled during this initialization process, and interrupts are enabled after the initialization process. When the initial setting process (step S501) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU generates an interrupt every 2 mS and executes a 2 mS steady process. In the 2 mS steady process, a process of counting up the 16 mS progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 mS progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 mS progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 mS has elapsed. While the flag T is set, processing for resetting (setting to 0) the 16 mS progress monitoring counter is executed. As described above, the 16 mS elapse flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 mS in 2 mS steady processing, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 mS elapsed flag is set in step S502 (the 16 mS elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 mS elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 mS steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 mS steady process, a process of controlling the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262, and the like is executed based on the command received from the main control board. When the 16 mS steady process is completed, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 mS. On the other hand, if the 16 mS elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 mS elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 mS elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 168 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a 16 mS steady process executed every 16 mS in the sub-main process. In the 16 mS steady process, the peripheral control MPU executes the processes of steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the central processing is performed based on the fluctuation pattern command transmitted by being set in the fluctuation pattern setting process (step S149 of the first fluctuation pattern setting process, the second fluctuation pattern setting process). Control processing related to the liquid crystal display device 1500 is executed.

  In the sound control process in step S603, a control process related to the speakers 130, 222, and 262 is executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, control processes related to the lamp and LED provided in the pachinko machine 1 are performed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the lamp driving substrate 3060 is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S601-step S606 in a 16mS steady process is complete | finished within 16 mS. Even if it takes 16 mS or more by the end of the 16 mS steady process after the 16 mS steady process starts, the 16 mS steady process immediately after the 16 mS steady process starts (command from step S601) Do not execute (from analysis process). That is, when 16mS has elapsed during execution of the 16mS steady process, only the 16mS elapsed flag is set, and when it is determined that the 16mS elapsed flag is set in step S502 after the 16mS steady process is completed, the 16mS steady process is performed. To start.

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

[8. Battle production]
Next, the winning shortening control will be described with reference to FIGS. 169 to 173. FIG. 169 and FIG. 173 show that the above command analysis shows that the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command indicating that the reach (reach out of reach, per reach) is received when the high probability time-short state is controlled. FIG. 171 to FIG. 173 are timing charts of battle effects executed by the central liquid crystal display device 1500 when specified in the process (step S601). FIG. 171 to FIG. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the battle effect performed with the center liquid crystal display device 1500, when it is specified by the said command analysis process (step S601) that the determination result notification command and fluctuation pattern command which show that become are received. is there.

  In this example, during the high-probability time-short state, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 displays a manner in which the main character 1500a walks, and the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are reduced in the lower left portion of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. To display the fluctuation. Then, when the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command indicating reach are received, the enemy character 1500b is displayed so as to confront the main character 1500a, and the main character 1500a and the enemy character 1500b are confronted. Perform battle production. And when the received determination result notification command shows a big hit, as a result of the battle effect, the mode in which the main character 1500a wins the enemy character 1500b is displayed, and when the received determination result notification command shows a loss, As a result of the battle effect, an aspect in which the main character 1500a loses to the enemy character 1500b is displayed.

  In the battle effect, the main liquid crystal 1500 displays the main character 1500a and the enemy character 1500b facing each other on the central liquid crystal display 1500, and then blackout (displayed on the central liquid crystal display 1500 by turning off the screen) Then, one of the main character 1500a and the enemy character 1500b is displayed. It is shown that a first strike is made by the character displayed after this blackout, and if the main character 1500a is displayed after the blackout, it will be a big hit. On the other hand, when the enemy character 1500b is displayed after the blackout, if the attack of the enemy character 1500b is avoided, it will be a big hit. As described above, the player can recognize that the main character 1500a is displayed after the blackout and becomes a big hit, and by avoiding the attack of the enemy character 1500b even when the enemy character 1500b is displayed after the blackout. It becomes possible to recognize that it is a big hit.

  In this way, even if it is decided that a big hit will be made in the middle of the battle production, the battle production is continued after that and the fluctuation display is executed over a long period of time, the special symbol per unit time Since the number of times of the variable display decreases and the number of times of winning the big hit gaming state and the expected value of the winning balls that can be obtained decrease, the player may be disadvantaged and the fun of the game may be lowered. In this example, when it is determined that a big hit will be made in the middle of the battle production, the big winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006 or lower large winning opening 2005) is controlled open at that time to control the big hit gaming state While starting, the direction of the battle is continued to be executed to the end. The details will be described below.

  In this example, battle production short and battle production long are provided as fluctuation patterns when reaching during high probability time reduction state, and battle production short is executed only when it is a big hit, and battle production long is a big hit and It is designed to be executed both in the case of and in the case of being out of place. First, the battle effect executed based on the battle effect short fluctuation pattern will be described with reference to FIGS. 169 and 171 (A) to 172 (I). In the high probability time-short state, since the above-mentioned right-handed game is performed to cause the game ball to enter the second starting opening 2004, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 displays that effect (right-handed →) Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 171 (A), when the gaming state is controlled to the high probability short-time state, the peripheral control MPU displays the manner in which the main character 1500a is moving on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In this state, when the second special symbol process (step S39) is executed based on the winning of the game ball at the second starting port 2004, the main control MPU performs the second special symbol as shown in FIG. The display of the second special symbol is started on the display, and a judgment result notification command and a fluctuation pattern command (in this case, a judgment result notification command indicating a big hit and a battle effect short fluctuation pattern are displayed on the peripheral control board. Is transmitted). When the determination result notification command and the fluctuation pattern command are received from the main control MPU, the peripheral control MPU variably displays the left, middle, and right decorative symbols displayed on the lower left portion of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 and receives the received fluctuation. When the variation time specified by the pattern command has elapsed, all the decoration symbols are stopped and displayed. In addition, when reach is indicated by the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command received from the main control MPU (reach is out of reach, reach is a big hit), the main character 1500a stops to something. The mode which noticed is displayed (FIG. 171 (B)).

  Next, the peripheral control MPU displays the enemy character 1500b on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 so as to confront the main character 1500a (FIG. 171 (C)), and then blacks out the display screen of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 ( Figure 171 (D)). Then, the received judgment result notification command indicates that it is a big hit (in this example, 4R probability variation big hit, 16R probability variation big hit) that continues the high probability time-short state, and instructs the execution of the variation pattern of the battle effect short by the variation pattern command. If this is the case, the peripheral control MPU gradually brightens the display screen of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 so that only the main character 1500a appears, and the left, middle, and right of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 are reduced and displayed on the lower left portion of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The player is notified that a big hit will be made by stopping and displaying the decorative symbol in a big hit mode (big hit symbol) and displaying "big hit confirmed!" (FIG. 171 (E)).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 169, the variation time of the second special symbol that is variably displayed on the second special symbol display by the main control MPU is substantially the same as the variation time of the decorative symbol variably displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The big special symbol of the second special symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display at the timing in the middle of the battle effect that only the main character 1500a emerges after blacking out the display screen of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, The main control MPU starts open control of the special winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006 or lower large winning opening 2005) based on the stop display of the big hit symbol of the second special symbol. In addition, when the main control MPU starts the opening control of the big winning opening (the upper winning opening 2006 or the lower winning opening 2005), the peripheral control MPU displays “big win!” To control the big win gaming state. The player can recognize that the control of the jackpot gaming state is started, and the player suffers a disadvantage without noticing that the control of the jackpot gaming state is started. Can be suppressed. Note that the player is not limited to the above example as long as the player can surely recognize that the control of the big hit gaming state is started, and the sound output of the speakers 130, 222, 262, etc. (the big hit is started. ), Or may be displayed to notify the start of the big hit (start big hit) or the like.

  The peripheral control MPU continues to execute the battle effect even after the control of the big hit gaming state is started by the main control MPU as shown in FIG. 169, and displays a mode in which the main character 1500a attacks the enemy character 1500b. (FIG. 172 (F)). Next, the peripheral control MPU causes the central liquid crystal display device 1500 to display "Press the button and put a stop!" And start the timer to start measuring the effective period (Fig. 172 (G)). On the basis of the fact that the dish effect button 257 is operated and the detection signal from the effect button press sensor 258 is input to the peripheral control MPU, the lifting unit 3510 retracts the back and back rotating ornament unit 3550 so that it can not be seen from the player side From the position (rising end position), it is slid downward in an arc and moved to the appearing position (falling end position) visible from the player side, and the rotary connecting member 3630 is rotated to make the back four corners second decoration The back four corner second decoration 3363 attached to the base 3631 and the back four corners second decoration base 3631 is rotated (turned) (FIG. 172 (H))

  Then, the peripheral control MPU displays a mode in which the main character 1500a has won (FIG. 172 (I)), and then performs a jackpot gaming state effect display (a jackpot effect; a round effect display, etc.) as shown in FIG. . Thus, even if the big hit gaming state is started before the effect of the battle effect short is completed, the peripheral control MPU continues to execute the effect of the battle effect short and responds to the operation of the upper plate effect button 257. Then, the rear decoration unit 3550 appears to advance in the direction in which the battle effect short effect is completed (FIG. 172 (H)). In other words, when the battle effect is executed, the player operates the upper plate effect button 257 to cause the back and bottom rear rotating decorative body unit 3550 to appear in order to complete the effect of the battle effect short. In this way, since the effect of the battle effect short can be completed according to the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 by the player, the player's intention can be reflected in the effect, and satisfaction and achievement can be obtained, It is possible to execute an attraction more attractive than conventional gaming machines. In addition, as shown in FIG. 169, the effective period of the upper plate effect button 257 is continued until one round of the big hit gaming state is completed, but the upper plate effect button 257 is not operated within the effective period. However, the back-bottom post-rotation decorative body unit 3550 may be exposed after the expiration of the effective period. If the upper plate effect button 257 is not operated within the effective period, the back-bottom post-rotation decoration body The mode in which the main character 1500a has won may be displayed without causing the unit 3550 to appear.

  Further, in this example, the player is notified of becoming a big hit in the middle of the battle production and control of the big hit gaming state is started, and the continuation of the battle production is executed during execution of the big hit gaming state to display the production result. In addition to advancing the start timing of the big hit gaming state originally started after executing all the battle effects, and shortening the variation time of the battle effects executed before the start of the big hit gaming state, per unit time It is suppressed that the number of times of variation display of the special symbol is reduced. Specifically, in this example, a period of 58 seconds to 87 seconds (which varies depending on the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257) is set as a period required to execute all the effects of the battle effect short. However, the variation time corresponding to the period of performing the effect executed before the start of the big hit gaming state is 12 seconds, and after the variation pattern of the battle effect short is selected and the second special symbol is variably displayed, When 12 seconds have elapsed, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed with the jackpot symbol, and control of the jackpot gaming state is started. And most of the effects of the battle effect short (in this example, 46 seconds to 75 seconds, but may be half or more of the whole period) are executed during the jackpot gaming state, The effect period of the battle effect short executed before the control is 12 seconds, whereas the effect period of the battle effect short executed during the big hit gaming state is 46 seconds to 75 seconds (operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257 Depending on the

  Thus, the period (period executed as a big hit effect) during the big hit game state of all the production periods required to execute the battle effect short is a period (variation time) executed before the start of the big hit game state By making it longer than), the time required for the variable display can be reduced, and reduction in the number of times of the variable display of the special symbol per unit time can be suppressed. As described above, in the jackpot gaming state, after opening the large winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006 or lower large winning opening 2005) for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or the large winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006 or lower The opening and closing pattern (round) to be closed when the game ball is detected by the upper large winning opening sensor 2552 or the lower large winning opening sensor 2354 that nine winning balls have been won in the large winning opening 2005) multiple times (4 in this example) In order to execute the game once or 16 times, a period of a certain period or more is always required from the start to the end of the jackpot gaming state. Then, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in synchronization with the fluctuation display of the fluctuation display effect (the special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol in this case) before the start of the big hit gaming state among a part of all the effects of the battle production short. The remaining effect is executed as a big hit effect after the start of the big hit gaming state, and the production period of the battle effect short which is executed as a variable display effect before the start of the big hit gaming state. The fluctuation time of the battle effect short is set to be relatively shorter than the effect period of the battle effect short which is executed as the big hit effect after the start of the big hit gaming state. As a result, the player operates the handle lever 504 to battle the big hit game state execution period only by winning the gaming ball in the big winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006 or lower large winning opening 2005). Performs a part of the effects of the production short, and makes all the effects of the battle production short fluctuate while displaying the production of the battle production short until the end without being terminated halfway before the start of the big hit gaming state The variation display of the special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol in this case) is started because the variation time of the battle effect short can be shortened by 46 seconds to 75 seconds as compared to when executed during the variation display of the second special symbol as the effect. It is possible to shorten the period from the end to the end of the jackpot gaming state, and the fluctuation display time of the special symbol per unit time by shortening the fluctuation time. There for possible to prevent the reduction may increase the execution opportunities jackpot determination process. Also, even if the time required for the variable display is reduced, the battle effect can be executed over a long period of time from the start of the variable display to the execution of the big hit gaming state, so the battle can be performed without simplifying the contents of the effect. The effect can be executed to reduce the fluctuation time, and a decrease in the game interest due to simplification of the effect content can be suppressed.

  Further, in the above-described example, an effect (a button effect) for requesting a button operation after determination that a big hit is determined is performed, and a back decoration is rotated based on the upper tray effect button 257 being operated within the effective period. The body unit 3550 is moved from the retracted position which can not be visually recognized from the player side to the appearance position which can be visually recognized. In other words, the player is notified in advance that the player has decided that the jackpot will be determined, and the player operates the upper dish effect button 257 within the effective period to ensure that the back decoration unit 3550 appears. Button production is executed in the state of grasping. Usually, the button effect is executed before the result of the variable display is determined, and when the result of the variable display is lost, the back dish rotation is performed even if the upper tray effect button 257 is operated within the effective period. It is set such that the possibility of causing the decoration unit 3550 to appear from the retracted position to the appearance position is low, and the upper tray effect button 257 is operated within the effective period when the result of the variable display is a big hit. The lower rear rotational ornament unit 3550 is set to have a high possibility of appearing from the retracted position to the appearance position.

  In addition, as described above, since the big hit probability at low probability is set to 1 in 400, and the big hit probability at high probability is set to 1 in 40, most of the fluctuation display to be executed loses display results. Therefore, when the button effect is executed, even if the upper plate effect button 257 is operated, the possibility that the back / bottom rear rotating decorative body unit 3550 appears from the retracted position to the appearance position is low. As described above, even if the upper dish effect button 257 is operated when the button effect is executed, the player feels stressed when the back and back turning decorative unit 3550 is not appeared from the retreat position to the appearance position. In addition, there is a possibility that when the button effect is executed, the game interest may be reduced since the possibility that the back decoration back rotary ornament unit 3550 appears from the retracted position to the appearance position is low even if the upper dish effect button 257 is operated. It was.

  In this example, when the button effect is executed after the big hit is determined as described above and the upper plate effect button 257 is operated within the effective period, the back and bottom rear rotating decorative body unit 3550 is always moved from the retracted position. In order to execute the button effect in a state where the player knows in advance that it will appear at the appearance position, the upper plate effect to dissipate the stress accumulated by the button effect that was executed before it was decided that it would be a big hit The button 257 can be operated. In addition, since it is determined that a big hit has been made, it is possible to cause the back and bottom rear rotating decorative body unit 3550 to appear by operating the upper plate effect button 257 while attracting attention from surrounding players, so that a sense of superiority is obtained. Can increase the joy of having a big hit.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 170 and FIG. 171 (A) to FIG. 171 (D), FIG. 171 (E '), FIG. 172 and FIG. explain. In addition, since the effect performed based on the variation pattern of the battle effect long includes the effect similar to the effect executed based on the change pattern of the battle effect short, the battle effect short for the overlapping portion Will be replaced with battle production long, and only the part different from the battle production short production will be described below.

  171 (A) to 171 (D) by peripheral control MPU based on the reception of the judgment result command and the fluctuation pattern command (in this case, the fluctuation pattern command indicating the fluctuation pattern of the battle effect long) from the main control MPU After executing the above, when only the enemy character 1500b emerges by gradually brightening the display screen of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (FIG. 171 (E ′)), an attack by the enemy character 1500b is performed. As shown in FIG. 170, the attack by the enemy character 1500b is performed while the second special symbol is being displayed.

  The received judgment result notification command indicates a big hit (in this example, 4R probability variation big hit, 16R probability variation big hit) that continues the high-probability time-short state, and the execution of the variation pattern of the battle effect long is instructed by the variation pattern command. In this case, the peripheral control MPU displays a mode in which the main character 1500a avoids the attack of the enemy character 1500b (FIG. 173 (F ′)), and the left and middle displayed in a reduced size in the lower left portion of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The right decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in a big-hit manner (hit-hit symbol) and the message “Attack avoidance! Big-hit confirmed!” Is displayed to notify the player that a big hit will be made (FIG. 173 (G ′)). Thereafter, the effects shown in FIGS. 172 (F) to 172 (I) are executed. As shown in FIG. 170, the variation time of the second special symbol that is variably displayed on the second special symbol display by the main control MPU is almost the same as the variation time of the decorative symbol variably displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The big special symbol of the second special symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display at a timing in the middle of the battle effect that the main character 1500a avoids the attack of the enemy character 1500b, and the big special symbol of the second special symbol is displayed. The main control MPU starts open control of the big winning opening (upper large winning opening 2006 or lower large winning opening 2005) based on the stop display.

  On the other hand, the received judgment result notification command indicates a big hit (in this example, 4R normal big hit, 4R latent probable big hit) that ends the failure or high-probability short-time state, and executes the variation pattern of the battle effect long by the variation pattern command. Is displayed, the peripheral control MPU displays a mode in which the main character 1500a receives the attack of the enemy character 1500b (FIG. 173 (F ″)), and if the received determination result notification command is out of place. The left, middle, and right decorative symbols displayed in a reduced size in the lower left part of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 are stopped and displayed in an off mode (in this case, out of reach symbols), and the received judgment result notification command is in a high-probability time-short state. If the big hit is to end (in this example, 4R normal big hit, 4R latent big hit), the lower left of the central liquid crystal display 1500 Displaying the reduced left, middle, and right decorative symbols in a big-hit manner and displaying "defeat ..." informs the player that the shift or the high probability short-time state will end (Fig. 173 (G ″)). After that, if the received determination result notification command is out of order, the process returns to FIG. 171 (A) to display the manner in which the main character 1500a is moving on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. If the big hit to end the state (in this example, 4R normal big hit, 4R latent big hit), the fact that the big hit gaming state is started and control of the big hit gaming state is executed, then returning to FIG. The mode in which the character 1500 a is moving is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500.

  A period of 78 seconds to 107 seconds (which varies depending on the operation timing of the upper dish effect button 257) is set as a period required to execute all the effects of the battle effect long performed in the case of a big hit. However, the fluctuation time corresponding to the period for executing the effect to be executed before the start of the jackpot gaming state is 32 seconds, and after the fluctuation pattern of the battle effect long is selected and the second special symbol is fluctuated, When 32 seconds have elapsed, the second special symbol is stopped and displayed as a big hit symbol, and control of the big hit gaming state is started. And most of the effects of the battle effect long (in this example, 46 seconds to 75 seconds, but it may be half or more of the entire period) effects are executed during the big hit gaming state, the big hit gaming state While the production period of battle production long executed before control is 32 seconds, the production period of battle production long executed during the big hit gaming state is 46 seconds to 75 seconds (operation timing of upper dish effect button 257 It depends on.

  As described above, even when a battle effect having a longer effect period than the battle effect short is executed, the period executed during the jackpot gaming state among all the effect periods required for executing the battle effect long (executed as a jackpot effect) The time required for the fluctuation display can be reduced by making the time period) longer than the period (variation time) executed before the start of the big hit gaming state, and the number of fluctuation display times of special symbols per unit time can be reduced. Can be deterred. That is, some of the effects of the battle effect long are displayed before the start of the big hit gaming state. The central liquid crystal display device 1500 is synchronized with the variable display effect (special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol)). And the remaining effect is executed as a jackpot effect after the start of the jackpot game state, and the battle effect long effect period that is executed as a variable display effect before the start of the jackpot game state is The fluctuation time of the battle production long is set so as to be relatively shorter than the production period of the battle production long executed as the big hit production after the start of the big hit gaming state. As a result, for the player, the battle lever 504 is operated, and the battle is executed during the execution period of the big hit gaming state in which only the game ball is won in the big winning opening (the upper winning hole 2006 or the lower winning hole 2005). The second special symbol changes as a variable display effect while all the effects of the battle effect long are executed to the end without executing all the effects of the battle effect long. Compared to the case where it is executed during the display, the battle effect long change time is shortened by 46 to 75 seconds, and the special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol) is started to be changed and then the big hit gaming state is ended. Period can be shortened, and it is possible to suppress reduction of the number of times of display of the special symbol per unit time by shortening the fluctuation time, so the big hit judgment It can increase the sense of execution opportunities. Also, even if the time required for the variable display is reduced, the battle effect can be executed over a long period of time from the start of the variable display to the execution of the big hit gaming state, so the battle can be performed without simplifying the contents of the effect. The effect can be executed to reduce the fluctuation time, and a decrease in the game interest due to simplification of the effect content can be suppressed.

  In addition, it takes 65 seconds as the time required to execute all the effects of the battle production long which is executed when it becomes a big hit (in this example, 4R normal big hit, 4R latent probability big hit) which ends the high probability time reduction state. It is set. In other words, the variation time of the battle effect long executed when the big hit (in this example, 4R normal big hit, 4R latent probability big hit) to end the out-of-date or high probability time-short state is set to 65 seconds. In addition, after executing the battle effect long and displaying the mode received by the main character 1500a without being able to avoid the attack of the enemy character 1500b, the main character 1500a is restored and the effect of defeating the enemy character 1500b is executed. In this case, when the main character 1500a is restored, the big hit symbol of the second special symbol is stopped and displayed, and the big hit symbol of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols is stopped and displayed. Then, after the control of the big hit gaming state is started, effects for defeating the enemy character 1500b (for example, effects of FIG. 172 (F) to FIG. 172 (I)) may be executed. In this case, the period of the effect executed before the start of the jackpot gaming state may be longer than the period of the effect performed during the jackpot gaming state. Since the production period can be shortened compared to the case where the production is executed before the start of the big hit gaming state, it is possible to suppress the reduction in the number of times of display of the special symbol per unit time.

  As mentioned above, although the suitable embodiment was mentioned and described about the above-mentioned battle production, this example is not limited to these embodiments, As shown below, in the range which does not deviate from the gist of the above-mentioned embodiment, variously Improvements and design changes are possible.

  That is, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although what was applied to the pachinko machine 1 as a game machine was shown, it is not limited to this, It applies to the pachislot machine, and the gaming machine formed by uniting a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine. Even in this case, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

  In the above example, although what is performed during the high probability time reduction state is shown, the effect period is shortened compared to the case where all the effects performed in connection with the variable display are performed before the start of the big hit gaming state It is not limited to the high probability time short state as long as the control is performed, and the low probability short time state (so-called normal state), the low probability time short state (so-called short time state), the high probability short time state, the high probability time short state It may be executed in any one of (so-called probability variation states) or in any combination (or all). In addition, when the control for shortening the effect period is executed also in cases other than the high probability time reduction state, the appearance frequency and the jackpot expectation of the effect may be made different for each gaming state. For example, in the non-time-short state (high probability non-time short state, low probability non-time short state), the appearance frequency is lower than that in the time short state (high probability time short state, low probability time short state) You may increase the selection ratio of the long version (battle production long) of the battle production in the non-time-shortening state when becoming a big hit, and increase the selection ratio of the short version (battle production short) in the battle-time state In the time saving state, the effect of shortening the period from the start of the variable display of the special symbol (in this case, the second special symbol) to the end of the big hit gaming state may be enhanced.

  In addition, as described above, in the variation pattern that is a big hit that continues the high probability short-time state between the battle production short and the battle production long, the button production is executed during the big hit gaming state, but at the operation timing of the upper plate production button 257 Accordingly, the contents of the jackpot effect to be executed after the end of the battle effect may be made different. For example, when a button effect is executed, it is set as an effective period of the upper dish effect button 257 until a predetermined round (for example, three rounds) of the big hit gaming state is finished, and it is set in an early round (for example, until two rounds are finished) When the dish effect button 257 is operated, a series of jackpot effects (video, etc.) that are completed before the remaining rounds in the jackpot game state are executed, and the upper dish effect is performed in a late round (for example, three rounds). When the button 257 is operated, a series of big hit effects may be ended halfway when the remaining rounds of the big hit gaming state are performed while executing the same effect. As described above, when the operation timing of the upper dish effect button 257 is late, since the big hit effect is terminated halfway, the upper dish effect button 257 can be operated at an earlier timing.

  In addition, while executing the common jackpot effect regardless of the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257 as described above, it is executed until the big hit effect is completed according to the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257 or is terminated halfway. However, it is possible to execute different effects according to the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257. For example, when the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257 is early, On the other hand, when the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257 is late, the upper plate effect button 257 is operated at an early timing by displaying an effect that makes the player uncomfortable. It is also possible that the upper plate effect button 257 is operated (round, elapsed time, by the time the upper plate effect button 257 is operated). It is executed as a big hit effect by changing the type of the big hit effect that is executed after the end of the battle effect according to the winning opening (the number of game balls that have entered the upper big prize port 2006 or the lower big prize port 2005). Alternatively, the player may operate the upper dish effect button 257 at a timing determined by the player himself while considering the type of the game to complete the battle effect. As described above, by making the subsequent development different according to the timing at which the upper dish effect button 257 is operated, the player is made to think about the timing at which the upper dish effect button 257 is operated, and the game in the big hit gaming state is enjoyed. Because it can be eliminated, it is possible to execute a more attractive presentation than the big hit presentation being performed in the conventional big hit gaming state.

  In addition, the aspect of the battle effect may be changed according to the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257. For example, the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257 (round, elapsed time, until the upper plate effect button 257 is operated) The effect display (for example, the back) when making the back and forth back spin decoration unit 3550 appear as the large winning opening (the number of gaming balls entered the upper large winning opening 2006 or the lower large winning opening 2005, etc.) is earlier or later When displaying a flame around the lower rear rotating decorative body unit 3550, the size and color of the flame may be flashy. As the operation timing of the upper dish effect button 257 is earlier, the upper dish effect button 257 can be operated at an earlier timing by flashing the effect display when making the back decoration back rotary ornament unit 3550 appear, and the upper dish effect The slower the operation timing of the button 257, the more the effect display when the behind-the-bottom post-rotation decorative body unit 3550 is made to appear makes it possible to operate the upper plate effect button 257 at a later timing. Thus, by appropriately setting the effects, it is possible to guide the player to operate the upper plate effect button 257 at a predetermined timing.

  Further, as the operation timing of the upper plate effect button 257, the number of game balls that have entered the big winning opening (the upper large winning port 2006 or the lower large winning port 2005) before the upper plate directing button 257 is operated is changed. If the direction of the performance (one or both of the battle effect and the jackpot effect) is different, the big prize opening (upper prize) will be given in all the jackpot gaming states that have been executed since the start of the high probability short-time control. It may be made to change according to the number of game balls which entered the mouth 2006 or the lower large winning prize opening 2005). In this case, since the aspect of the effect can be varied as the number of jackpot game states executed in the high probability short-time state increases, the player can be controlled according to the effect mode executed according to the number of jackpot game states. Can give a sense of superiority and satisfaction, and can further enhance the joy of being a big hit.

  Further, in the above example, when the button effect is executed and the upper dish effect button 257 is operated within the effective period, the effective period ends at that point and the back bottom back spin decoration unit 3550 In the example, it is configured to appear only once, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even if it is a case where the back decoration back rotation ornament unit 3550 appears, it does not end the validity period, and if it is within the validity period By operating the upper plate effect button 257 again after the rotating decorative body unit 3550 is retracted, the back and lower rear rotating decorative body unit 3550 may be caused to appear, or a predetermined round (all rounds in the big hit gaming state) If you operate the upper dish effect button 257 in a specific round (for example, until the end of 10 rounds, odd round, etc.), the back and back rotation decoration The unit 3550 may be caused to appear, thereby further enhancing the joy of being a big hit, and the big hit by the appearance of the back and bottom rotating decorative body unit 3550 by the operation of the upper plate effect button 257. You can appeal to others and give you a sense of superiority.

  Further, in the above example, the structure is such that a battle effect (battle effect short, battle effect long) can be executed not only in the case of a big hit, but also in the case of a loss, but it becomes a big hit during a high-probability time-short state. The variation pattern of the battle effect may be executed only in the case, and the battle effect may not be executed when it becomes a loss. By configuring in this way, when a battle effect is executed, it is always a big hit, so it is possible to pay attention to the effect with a margin and the timing at which the control of the big hit gaming state is started and the type of big hit (4R normal) Big hit, 4R latent probability big hit, 4R positive variation big hit, 16R positive variation big hit) can be made to pay attention.

  In addition, while the big hit (4R normal big hit, 4R latent probability big hit) which ends high probability time short state with the decision result notification command during high probability time short state is indicated, battle production (battle production short, battle production) with fluctuation pattern command When a change pattern of "long" is instructed, the control of the big hit gaming state is started after the end of the battle effect, but in the 4R big hit gaming state executed in this case, compared to the 16 R big hit gaming state Since the period required from the start to the end of the big hit gaming state is short, even if the battle effect is executed as a variable display effect until the end, the special symbol (this In this case, the special symbol (in this case, compared to the period from the start of the variable display of the second special symbol) to the end of the 16 big hit gaming state It can shorten the period until the end of the 4 jackpot gaming state from the start of variable display of the second special symbol).

[9. Real-time production]
Next, real-time effects will be described. A real-time effect is a video in which the main character 1500a walks in the field regardless of whether or not the game ball has won a start, and is divided into a plurality of scenes and displayed in order, and the divided scenes are looped to the center. While being displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1500, the gaming ball is currently displayed upon entering the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004 of the starting opening unit 2100 and starting the variable display accordingly. This is an effect that is executed seamlessly from a loop video scene.

  In the real-time effect in the present embodiment, for example, a loop image in which the main character walks in the field (in the train vehicle in this example) is displayed on the central liquid crystal display 1500, and the game ball is displayed while the image is displayed. At the time when the start-up winning and the variable display are performed, the effect corresponding to the object displayed in the field of the loop image displayed on the central liquid crystal display 1500 according to the fluctuation pattern output from the main control board The peripheral control MPU is configured to select according to the fluctuation time. For example, if the variable character is displayed when the main character walks in the field and the window is displayed, for example, the window should be used to perform effects using the window, such as hitting the window and the enemy jumping out. Thus, the scene displayed before the variable display and the scene displayed during the variable display can be linked in real time in the production, and it is possible to enjoy the production rich in variations.

[Loop video]
The loop image in this example will be described using FIGS. FIG. 206 is a diagram showing a sketch of the field in which the main character 1500a walks in the loop video. FIG. 207 is a diagram showing a loop image displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. FIG. 207A shows a main character 1500a displayed in the area of scene 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as scene 1) in FIG. (B) is a loop image displayed when the main character 1500 a is displayed in the area of the scene 2, and (C) is a main image 1500 a in the area of the scene 3. Is a loop image displayed when is displayed. FIG. 208 is a diagram showing a continuation of the loop video in FIG. 207, (D) is a loop video displayed when the main character 1500a is displayed in the area of scene 4, and (E) is a scene. 5 is a loop image displayed when the main character 1500 a is displayed in the area 5, and (F) is a loop image displayed when the main character 1500 a is displayed in the scene 6 area.

First, with the loop image, as shown in FIG. 206, when the main character 1500a walks from the start point to the goal point in the field designated in advance and reaches the goal point, it returns to the start point again to the goal point again It shows an image that is repeatedly displayed cyclically, such as walking forward. In this field, a scene is set for each location, and is divided into 6 scenes 1 to 6 in total.
A loop video starts from scene 1, and walks forward with scenes 2 and 3, and scene 6 is the last scene. After proceeding to the scene 6, the process returns to the scene 1 again and loops thereafter. Further, the required time from the start point of scene 1 to the goal point of scene 6 is, for example, 60 seconds to 70 seconds.

  In addition, although the loop image from the scene 1 to the scene 6 displayed on the central liquid crystal display device in this example is displayed as if the camera is directed from the side of the main character 1500a, it is not limited to this. Instead, for example, a display mode may be adopted in which the camera is directed from behind the main character 1500a and the main character 1500a that is walking is followed.

[Type of real-time production]
FIG. 209 is a diagram showing an effect table storing effect patterns used for real-time effect.
As shown in FIG. 209, the real-time effects in this example are prepared with a total of eight kinds of effect patterns from PTN1 to PTN8.

  When the PTN 1 is displaying a loop video, when the door is displayed in the loop video, the PTN 1 is reached by the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command received from the main control MPU (reach is lost, the It is an effect pattern that can be selected when a big hit is indicated. This effect pattern is an effect using a door which is a fixed object, and an effect is executed in which a creature jumps out after the door is vigorously opened.

  While the loop video is being displayed, PTN 2 is reached by the judgment result notification command and the variation pattern command received from the main control MPU when the window is displayed in the loop video (reach not reach, reach It is an effect pattern that can be selected when the jackpot is indicated, or when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display is 12 seconds or more. This effect pattern is an effect using a window which is a fixed object, and the effect is that a window is broken and a creature jumps in.

  When PTN3 is displaying a loop video and a door is displayed in the loop video, the variation display variation time is less than 5 seconds due to the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command received from the main control MPU. This is a production pattern that can be selected. This effect pattern is an effect that uses a door that is a fixed object, and an effect that only opens the door vigorously is executed.

  The PTN 4 is an effect pattern that can be selected when a window is displayed in the loop video while the loop video is being displayed. This effect pattern is an effect using a window which is a fixed object, and an effect of only breaking the window is executed.

  When the display of the effect patterns PTN1 to PTN4 is impossible (the door or window object is not displayed in the loop video), the PTN 5 receives the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command received from the main control MPU. This is an effect pattern that can be selected when it is indicated that the player has reached (reached or not, reached) a big hit. This effect pattern is an effect that uses an image and an action, and displays an image in which the camera is directed from behind the main character 1500a, the main character 1500a stops, looks back in the direction of the camera, and then the camera again returns to the main character 1500a. When going around behind, an effect that an enemy appears in front of the main character 1500a is executed.

  The PTN 6 is selected except when the display of the effect patterns of the PTN 1 to PTN 4 is not possible and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display is less than 12 seconds by the judgment result notification command received from the main control MPU and the fluctuation pattern command. This is a possible production pattern. This effect pattern is an effect using an image and an action, and displays an image in which the camera is directed from behind the main character 1500a. An effect is performed in which an enemy does not appear in front of the main character 1500a, although it turns around behind.

  The PTN 7 is selected except when the display of the effect patterns of the PTN1 to PTN 6 is not possible and the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display is less than 5 seconds by the judgment result notification command received from the main control MPU and the fluctuation pattern command. It is a possible effect pattern. The effect pattern is an effect that the main character 1500a performs an action, and the main character 1500a stops and takes out the wireless device to emit a word (for example, "This is Tom, over.", Etc.). After that, a replacement effect for changing the background is executed.

  The PTN 8 is selected except when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display is less than 5 seconds by the judgment result notification command and the fluctuation pattern command received from the main control MPU when the display of the effect patterns of the PTN1 to PTN6 is impossible. It is a possible effect pattern. This effect pattern is an effect that the main character 1500a performs an action, and the effect that the main character 1500a stops and turns back to the camera direction, takes a thumb up, and takes a thumb-up pose is executed. After that, a replacement effect for changing the background is executed.

  Also, when none of the above variation patterns of PTN1 to 8 can be executed, that is, when no door or window object is displayed in the loop image and the variation time or variation pattern conditions are not satisfied, the background is displayed. It is designed to execute a replacement effect to be changed.

  The period in which the object action using the door or window can be selected is predetermined for each scene. This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 210 is a diagram graphically showing, for each scene, periods in which object actions can be executed. L1 indicates an object action using a door, that is, PTN1 or PTN3, and L2 indicates an object action using a window, that is, PTN2 or PTN4. In scenes 1 to 6, when the period of L1 and L2 is displayed and the conditions for the variation time and the variation pattern described above are satisfied, each effect pattern is selected according to the condition. When the period is in a range where L1 and L2 are not displayed and the above-described variation time and variation pattern conditions are not satisfied, each effect pattern cannot be selected. If the fluctuation display is executed during a period in which both L1 and L2 effect patterns can be selected, is it a fluctuation with fluctuation time specified based on the fluctuation pattern command received from the main control board or a reach? Depending on whether or not the effect pattern is determined.

[Real-time production execution opportunity]
When no start prize is generated on the game board surface, the above-described loop images from scene 1 to scene 6 are cyclically looped and displayed on the central liquid crystal display 1500. Then, while the main character 1500a walks in the field and displays the loop image, for example, when the game ball is winning when the main character 1500a is present in the area of scene 2, the main control board to the peripheral control board The variation pattern command is output, and the peripheral control MPU analyzes the command received from the main control board to specify a variation time. In response to this, real-time effect determination processing is executed.

  Next, control processing in the case where it is determined by the peripheral control MPU to perform real-time effects will be described using FIG.

  FIG. 211 is a flowchart for stepwise selecting which effect pattern to select when it is determined to perform a real-time effect by the peripheral control MPU. This process is a process executed in the effect control process in step S602 in the 16 mS steady process (see FIG. 167) by the peripheral control MPU.

When the real-time effect determination process starts, in step S700, if the variation time in the variation is the number of seconds that can execute PTN1 to PTN4 (YES in step S700), it is determined to execute the object action ( Step S704), finish the real-time effect determination process.
On the other hand, if the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is not the number of seconds that can execute PTN1 to PTN4 (NO in step S700), it is determined whether the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is the number of seconds that can execute PTN5 to PTN6 The operation is performed (step S702).

Next, in step S702, when the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is the number of seconds which can execute PTN5 to PTN6 (YES in step S702), it is decided to execute the camera action (step S708), and the real time effect is determined. End the process.
On the other hand, if the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is not the number of seconds that can execute PTN5 to PTN6 (NO in step S702), it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is the number of seconds that can execute PTN7 to PTN8. The operation is performed (step S706).

Next, in step S706, when the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is the number of seconds which can execute PTN7 to PTN8 (YES in step S706), it is decided to execute the main character action (step S712), and the real time effect is determined. The process ends.
On the other hand, when the fluctuation time in the fluctuation is not the number of seconds that can execute PTN7 to PTN8 (NO in step S706), it is decided to execute replacement announcement, and the real-time effect determination processing is ended (step S710).

[Example 1 of production flow in real-time production]
Next, an example of the flow in the real-time effect of this example will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 212 is a diagram illustrating an example of a real-time effect that is executed when the main character 1500 a is in the scene 1 area.

  As shown in FIG. 212 (A), when the loop video is displayed, the main character 1500a walks through the field. For example, when the main character 1500a is in the scene 1 area in the field, as shown in FIG. 212 (B). When the gaming ball starts winning, a variation pattern command is output from the main control board to the peripheral control board, the peripheral control MPU analyzes the command received from the main control board, and the variation time is specified. Then, when the specified variation time can execute the presentation pattern of PTN 1 to 4, it is determined to execute the object action.

  When it is determined to execute the object action, one of the presentation patterns PTN 1 to 4 will be selected. If the analyzed fluctuation pattern command is not accompanied by a reach, since PTN 1 is an effect pattern that can be selected only for a fluctuation pattern with reach, one of PTNs 2 to 4 is selected in this case. In the area of Scene 1, as a fixed object, a door is arranged at the left corner and a window at the right corner (see FIG. 212 (A)). In FIG. 212 (A), the door becomes visible in its entirety. In this case, it is decided to execute the effect pattern of PTN 3 since the window is only partially visible.

  When the effect pattern of PTN 3 is executed, as shown in FIG. 212 (C), the scene is switched from the displayed loop image, and the transition is made to the effect in which the door is vigorously opened. At this time, the main character 1500a is surprised that the door is vigorously opened, and performs an action to pay attention to the door as shown in FIG. 212 (D). After that, as shown in FIG. 212 (E), the main character 1500a seamlessly shifts again to a loop video as it walks through the field.

  In Example 1 described above, when the analyzed variation pattern command is accompanied by reach, one of PTN1 to PTN4 is selected. In Example 1, since the door can be visually recognized as a whole and only a part of the window can be visually recognized, one of the effect patterns of PTN1 or PTN3 is selected. In this case, the peripheral control MPU distributes one of the effect patterns in the random number lottery and the distribution table. For example, PTN1 that can be selected only in the case of a variation pattern with reach is selected at a rate of 10%, and PTN3 that can be selected even in a variation pattern other than reach is selected at a rate of 90%.

  Also, even if the window or door, which is a fixed object, is only partially visible or not visible at all, an effect pattern using the door or window may be selected. In order to convey a situation where the window is often opened or the window is torn, the presentation is expressed only with sound using the speaker unit 920. Thereby, it is possible to give the player a feeling of thrill and fear that the door is opened vigorously when the window is not visible, or the window is broken, and the interest in the game can be improved.

[Flow example 2 of production in real time production]
While the loop video is displayed, the main character 1500a walks through the field. For example, when the game ball wins a start when the main character 1500a is in the scene 2 area in the field, the variation pattern from the main control board to the peripheral control board A command is output, the command received from the main control board by the peripheral control MPU is analyzed, and the variation time is specified. Next, when the specified variation time can not execute the effect patterns of PTNs 1 to 4, and when the effect patterns of PTNs 5 to 6 can be performed, it is determined to perform a camera action.

  If it is decided to execute the camera action, one of the presentation patterns of PTNs 5 to 6 will be selected. If the analyzed fluctuation pattern command is not accompanied by a reach, it is decided to execute an effect pattern of PTN 6 that can be selected if the fluctuation time is other than 12 seconds.

  When the effect pattern of PTN6 is executed, the main character 1500a stops without changing the scene from the displayed loop image, and the effect shifts to the effect of looking back toward the camera. Next, when the camera turns around behind the main character 1500a again, an enemy appears in front of the main character 1500a. Then, an action is taken to hold a weapon such as a gun possessed against the enemy. After that, the main character 1500a seamlessly transitions again to a loop video in which it walks through the field.

  In the above example 2, when the analyzed fluctuation pattern command is accompanied by a reach, one of PTNs 5 to 6 is selected. In this case, the peripheral control MPU distributes one of the effect patterns in the random number lottery and the distribution table. For example, the selectable PTN5 is selected at a rate of 20% only in the case of the variation pattern with reach, and the selectable PTN6 is selected at a rate of 80% even in a variation pattern other than the reach.

[Flow example 3 of production in real time production]
While the loop image is being displayed, if the main character 1500a walks in the field and, for example, the gaming ball starts winning when the main character 1500a is in the area of scene 5 in the field, the variation pattern from the main control board to the peripheral control board A command is output, the command received from the main control board by the peripheral control MPU is analyzed, and the variation time is specified. Next, in the case where the specified variation time can not execute the effect patterns of PTNs 1 to 6, and when the effect patterns of PTNs 7 to 8 can be performed, it is determined that the main character action is to be performed.

  If it is decided to execute the hero action, one of the effect patterns of PTN 7 to 8 will be selected. If the analyzed fluctuation pattern command is not accompanied by a reach, either of the fluctuation patterns is an effect pattern that can be selected if the fluctuation time is less than 5 seconds, so in this case, the peripheral control MPU It can be distributed to one of the presentation patterns by the minute table. For example, PTN7 is selected at a rate of 95% and PTN8 at a rate of 5%.

  For example, when the effect pattern of PTN 7 is executed, the main character 1500a is stopped without switching the scene from the displayed loop image, and the wireless device is taken out to shift to an effect of saying a single line. Next, the main character 1500a performs an action of emitting a line "This is Tom, over." Toward the wireless device. After that, the replacement image is displayed, the background is switched, and the non-seamless scene switching is performed, without the main character 1500a moving seamlessly into the loop video moving forward in the field.

[Example 4 of production flow in real-time production]
While the loop image is being displayed, if the main character 1500a walks in the field and, for example, the gaming ball starts winning when the main character 1500a is in the area of scene 5 in the field, the variation pattern from the main control board to the peripheral control board A command is output, the command received from the main control board by the peripheral control MPU is analyzed, and the variation time is specified. Next, when the door or window object is not displayed in the loop image, and when the specified variation time or variation pattern condition is not satisfied, the rendering pattern of PTN1 to 8 can not be executed. It is decided to give a replacement notice.

  When it is determined that the replacement notice is to be executed, the above-described various action effects are not performed, the replacement image for switching the background is displayed, and the replacement notice is performed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, unlike the conventional effect in which the relationship between the loop image and the variable display is weak, the scene displayed before the variable display and the variable display are displayed. Since the seamless rendering can be performed by linking the scene in real time, it is possible to provide a player with an unprecedented rendering mode to the player and to improve the interest in the game.

[Return to loop video]
The effect to be executed when the effect patterns of PTN 7 to 8 and PTN 1 to 8 can not be selected among the effect patterns described above executes an effect (replacement notice) of displaying a replacement image for switching the screen from the loop image Is. Therefore, in this example, when returning to the loop image after the replacement effect is finished, the area of the scene in which the main character 1500a was present before the replacement effect is performed is returned. For example, when the main character 1500a is present in the area of scene 2, the above replacement effect is performed, and when returning to the loop image again, it does not return to the area of scene 1 which is the start point, but is specified in the area of scene 2 The loop image processing is executed to return the loop image to the area of the scene where the main character 1500a was present before the replacement effect is performed. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 213 is a flowchart showing a flow of a loop video process to be described later and a selected effect pattern, and FIG. 214 is a flowchart showing a flow of the loop effect.

  The process of executing the loop image and the selected effect pattern is executed in the effect control process of step S602 in the 16 mS steady process (see FIG. 167) by the peripheral control MPU.

  After performing the replacement effect, in order to return to the designated return point, the value of the pointer indicates in which scene the main character 1500a was present immediately before the replacement image is displayed, which is a replacement effect in this example. Is identified by. The default value of the pointer is “1” corresponding to the scene 1. When the main character 1500a walks in the field and moves to the next scene, the point value is incremented by +1, and the upper limit value is set to "6". That is, the point value when the main character 1500a is present in the scene 1 is "1", and the point value when the main character 1500a is present in the scene 6 is "6".

  For example, when the replacement effect is performed when the main character 1500a is present in the scene 2 while the loop image is being displayed, the point value is “2”. Is configured such that the main character 1500 a returns to the start point of the scene 2 corresponding to the point value “2” and returns to the loop video.

When the loop video process is started, if the replacement effect is being executed in step S720 (YES in step S720), the loop video process is ended.
On the other hand, if the replacement effect is not being executed (NO in step S720), the scene corresponding to the pointer value in the loop video (when the pointer value is “3”, scene 3 is displayed) is displayed (step S202). S722).

Next, in step S724, it is determined whether or not one scene of the displayed loop video has been completed (the main character 1500a that is walking straddles the scene). If one scene has not ended (NO in step S724). ) Ends the loop video processing.
On the other hand, if one scene has ended, it is determined whether the value of the pointer is the upper limit value (“6”) (step S 726).

Next, in step S 726, when the value of the pointer is not the upper limit value (NO in step S 726), 1 is added to the value of the pointer, and the loop video processing is finished.
On the other hand, if the value of the pointer is the upper limit value (YES in step S 726), the value of the pointer is returned to the default value “1”, and the loop image processing is ended.

  According to the configuration described above, the pointer value is set corresponding to the scene in which the main character 1500a exists in the loop video, and any scene in the loop video is displayed according to the pointer value. It is determined what to do. That is, after the replacement effect is executed, when returning to the loop image again, the loop effect is started from the scene in which the main character 1500a was present before the replacement effect is performed, not simply returning to the start point of the loop image. Since, for example, the main character 1500a is present in the scene 4 before the replacement effect is performed, the area of the scene 4 is displayed when returning to the loop image after the replacement effect is finished. It is possible to prevent the user from feeling discomfort due to the start of the loop image from a different position, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  In the above-described processing for returning to the loop image, the value of the identification pointer that indicates which scene the main character 1500a is present has been described as being added each time the main character 1500a moves the scene. For example, the return point may be set more finely by increasing the upper limit of the pointer value and providing points at which the pointer value is added at a plurality of points in each scene. it can. This makes it possible to start the loop effect again from a position close to the position where the main character 1500a was present before the replacement effect is executed, and allows the loop image to be naturally returned to without causing further discomfort. be able to.

[10. Game contents]
Next, game contents by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 174 to 176. FIG. 174 is a front view of the game board in which the front structural member and the front unit are cut at the approximate center in the front-rear direction in the game area. FIG. 175 (a) is an enlarged front view showing the right part in the game area in FIG. 174, and FIG. 175 (b) is a sectional view taken along line H-H in FIG. It is. Further, FIG. 176 is an explanatory view showing the vicinity of the top prize winning opening in FIG. 174 in an enlarged manner.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is obtained when the player rotates the handle lever 504 of the handle unit 500 disposed in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. However, the game board 5 is driven into the upper portion of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game with the game ball is started. The game ball that has been driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side on the upper side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 that divides the game area 5a into left and right depending on the strength of the game. It should be noted that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle lever 504, and the game ball can be driven stronger as it is rotated in the clockwise direction.

  In the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) with a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions are implanted on the front surface of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110). By the contact, the flow-down speed of the gaming ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the gaming ball, and the movement can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail, a windmill (not shown) rotated by the contact of the game ball is provided at a suitable position.

  When the ball launcher 680 hits the game ball with a driving strength less than a predetermined driving strength according to the rotation angle of the handle lever 504, Of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500, it enters the left side of the front view from the highest part. Then, the game ball that has entered the left side of the outermost peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the center accessory 2500 while the game ball abuts against a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown). Will flow down. Then, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2520 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500, the game ball passes through the warp passage 2521 and It is supplied to the left end of the stage 2530 from a warp outlet 2523 that is open in the frame.

  The game balls supplied to the stage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 roll back and forth on the stage 2530, and side guide grooves 2532 formed on both sides of the center in the left-right direction in the game area 5a. When it is discharged from the front, the area above the starting opening unit 2100 will flow down below the stage 2530 in the gaming area 5a. Thereby, there is a possibility that the game ball may be received in the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100.

  When the game ball rolling on the stage 2530 is released forward from the central guide groove 2531 at the center in the left-right direction in the game area 5 a of the stage 2530, the start port unit 2100 that opens directly below the central guide groove 2531. Is accepted with high probability in the first starting opening 2002 of the When a game ball is received in the first start port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  By the way, if the game ball that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2520, a game is played below the center accessory 2500 by a plurality of obstacle nails, the first shelf 2201a of the side unit 2200, and the like. There is a possibility that it will be guided to the center in the left-right direction in the region 5a and received by the general winning port 2001, the first start port 2002, etc. arranged on the downstream side. When a game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  In addition, the gaming ball which has flowed to the left of the center character 2500 does not flow to the side of the attacker unit 2300 due to the lower side of the center character 2500 extending between the start opening unit 2100 and the attack unit 2300. It is not accepted by the general winning a prize opening 2001, the second starting opening 2004, the lower large winning a prize opening 2005 and the like of the attacker unit 2300. The starting opening unit 2100 is provided with a horizontally elongated rectangular fake portion 2105a similar to the lower opening winning prize opening door member 2352 for opening and closing the lower opening winning opening 2005 of the attacker unit 2300 below the first starting opening 2002. It is possible to have an illusion that there is a big winning opening below the first starting opening like a conventional pachinko machine.

  On the other hand, the ball launcher 680 is driven with a driving strength not less than a predetermined driving strength according to the rotation angle of the handle lever 504, so that it is driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a. The game ball enters (is struck) to the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500. Then, the game ball that has entered to the right side of the highest peripheral portion of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500 passes through the upper game space 2541 and the right passage 2542 from the upper right entrance to the lower right exit 2543. It is discharged directly above the gate portion 2003 in the attacker unit 2300. As a result, the gaming ball which has been driven to flow down the right side of the center character 2500 (right-handed) passes through the gate portion 2003 with extremely high probability. The gaming ball having passed through the gate portion 2003 flows downward on the shelf member 2303 through the front of the second start port 2004 and rolls on the shelf member 2303 to the left in front view, and then the front surface of the shelf member 2303 It is emitted downward from the left end of the eye. The game balls released from the shelf member 2303 flow downward on the lower right rail 1005 through the front of the lower large winning opening 2005, roll on the lower right rail 1005 to the left in a front view, and play the game from the out port 1111 It is discharged out of the area 5a.

  When the game ball released from the lower right exit 2543 flows down the left side of the gate portion 2003 when viewed from the front, the second start port 2004 is provided via the general winning port 2001 of the attacker unit 2300 and the guide portion 2302b of the start port front member 2302. Or, the lower prize winning opening 2005 may be accepted. On the other hand, when a game ball flows down on the right side of the gate portion 2003 when viewed from the front, it flows down onto the lower right rail 1005 and is discharged from the out port 1111 without being received by the general prize opening 2001, the second starting port 2004, or the like. The

  Therefore, when the game ball passes the gate portion 2003 and the left side of the gate portion 2003 while the lower large winning opening 2005 is open, the lower large winning opening 2005 is accepted with high probability.

  When the game ball passes through the gate part 2003 and is detected by the gate sensor 2305, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board. Is advanced for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 3 seconds) to open the second starting port 2004. Accordingly, when the game ball reaches the front of the second start port 2004 at the timing when the second start port door member 2323 is moved forward and opened, the second start port door member 2323 changes the flow direction to the rear. And will be received in the second starting port 2004. When a game ball is received in the second start port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board and the payout control board.

  In this embodiment, in the normal lottery performed by the game ball passing through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the normal lottery until the normal lottery result is suggested (for example, 0. 0. 1 to 10 seconds, also commonly referred to as fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5.

  In addition, if the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003 during the period after the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003 until the normal lottery result is suggested, the normal lottery result can not be started, so the normal lottery The start of the suggestion of the result is put on hold until the suggestion of the previous regular lottery result is finished. In addition, the number of holdings of the normal lottery result is up to 4 and the upper limit is discarded without holding even if the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when a game ball is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, an advantageous game state (for example, “big hit”, “ A lottery of special lottery results is generated to generate "peri", "small perch", "per probability change", "per time reduction", etc.). Then, the selected special lottery result is suggested to the player for a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 360 seconds). Note that the special lottery results that are drawn when the game balls are received at the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 include “losing”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “15R big hit”, “ There are probability change (probability change), "time reduction (time reduction) hit", "time change short", "time change no short", etc.

  In the case of the special lottery result that the special lottery result (the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result) drawn by the reception of the game ball to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004 causes the advantageous gaming state Either the lower winning prize opening door member 2352 of the attacker unit 2300 or the upper winning prize opening door member 2550 of the center role 2500 opens and closes in the opening / closing pattern according to the drawing result of the special lottery. It becomes possible to allow the game ball to be accepted to the winning opening 2005 or the upper large winning opening 2006. When a game ball is received in the lower university winning opening 2005 or the upper university winning opening 2006 when the lower university winning opening 2005 or the upper university winning opening 2006 is in an open state, a predetermined number of pieces are received from the payout device 830 by the main control board and the payout board. (For example, 10 or 13) game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the lower large winning opening door member 2352 or the upper large winning opening door member 2550 is being opened and closed in a predetermined pattern, the lower large winning opening 2005 or the upper large winning opening 2006 can receive many game balls. A game ball can be paid out, and the player can be entertained.

  When the special lottery result is “small hit”, the lower large prize opening door member 2352 or the upper large prize opening door member 2550 is opened for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern that closes in a state is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is “big hit”, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) has elapsed after the lower big prize opening door member 2352 or the upper big prize opening door member 2550 is opened, or If any of the conditions for accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls into the big prize opening 2005 or the upper big prize opening 2006 is satisfied, the lower big prize opening door member 2352 or the upper big prize opening door member 2550 is satisfied. An opening / closing pattern (a single opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) that is closed is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, the “2R big hit” is repeated for two rounds, and the “15R big hit” is repeated for 15 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

  In “Big Bonus”, after the big hit game ends, the probability that a special lottery result such as “Big Bonus” will be drawn is changed (“probable hit”), or the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result is changed. There is a hit that you do ("time hit").

[Pending memory related to the reception of gaming balls to the first start opening 2002 and the second start opening 2004]
In the present embodiment, a random number value is acquired to execute a special lottery by receiving the gaming balls into the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, and until a variable display based on the acquired random number is started In the meantime, if a game ball is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the change cannot be started, so the random number value is held until the previously executed change display is completed. . The number of reserved random numbers to be held is limited to up to four for the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, and for those exceeding that, the first start port 2002 and the second start port Even if the game ball is accepted in the mouth 2004, it is discarded without acquiring the random value.

[Send pending number specification command to peripheral control board]
As described above, the main control MPU changes the number of first special symbols on hold based on the game ball entering the first start port 2002, that is, the first start port shown in FIG. When the value of the first special reserved number counter in step S43 of the passing process is incremented by 1 and when the first special symbol reserved memory is digested, that is, in the first special symbol normal process shown in FIG. When the value of the first special reservation number counter in step S103 is decremented by 1, in the storage process (step S20) of FIG. 155 (b), a command (first reservation number designation command) that indicates the number of reservations of the first special symbol Set 0 to 4) and send to peripheral control board.

  In addition, when the number of reservations for the second special symbol changes based on the game ball entering the second starting opening 2004, that is, when 1 is added by step S53 in Figure 158, and the second special symbol suspension When one memory is consumed, that is, in the second special symbol normal processing whose illustration and explanation are omitted because it is the same algorithm as the first special symbol normal processing, the value of the second special hold number counter is decremented by one In the case of storage processing (step S20), a command (second holding number specification command 0 to 4) instructing the number of holdings of the second special symbol is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board.

[Receive command on peripheral control board]
As described above, the peripheral control MPU controls the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like based on the command received from the main control board in the 16 mS steady process (see FIG. 167). Execute the process

[Analysis processing of command]
That is, the peripheral control MPU executes the processes of steps S601 to S606 shown as an example of the 16 mS steady process of FIG. 168 every 16 mS. For example, in the command analysis process in step S601, the command received from the main control board is analyzed.

[Production control processing]
In addition, in the effect control process in step S602, based on the analysis result of the command, as an example, as the process in step S137, the lottery result (a type of jackpot, reach losing or losing is indicated (stop of the first special symbol) Judgment result notification command transmitted according to each lottery result so that the symbol pattern may be sent to the peripheral control board), fluctuation pattern setting processing (for the first fluctuation pattern setting processing) In step S149, control processing related to the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is executed based on the reception of the fluctuation pattern command transmitted by setting in the second fluctuation pattern setting processing).

  The peripheral control MPU controls the display of the central liquid crystal display 1500 based on the received determination result notification command and the variation pattern command (the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are variably displayed to display left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle) Stop display in the order of the decorative symbols (Note that the left, middle, and right decorative symbols may be synchronized and displayed in the same symbol, and may be stopped and displayed simultaneously).

  Furthermore, also in the case where it is analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601) that the first hold number designation commands 0 to 4 and the second hold number designation commands 0 to 4 are received, in the effect control process in step S602, In the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, a control process for displaying the first reserved number related to the first special symbol and the second reserved number related to the second special symbol is executed.

[Display of decorative symbol on central liquid crystal display 1500]
Next, an example regarding a display mode in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 will be described. FIG. 177 is a diagram showing an example of the number-of-holds display on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in the embodiment. Here, an example of the display mode of the reserved memory during the progress of the effect of one variation of the decorative symbol drawn on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 by the player sitting directly facing the gaming machine 1 will be described. .

  It should be noted that “1 fluctuation” is caused by the reception of the game ball to the first start opening 2002 by the first special symbol indicator (not shown) of the function display unit 1400 shown in the front view of the game board 5 of FIG. It is from the start of fluctuation of the first special lottery result drawn as the first special symbol until the stop display, or the second special symbol indicator (not shown) of the function display unit 1400 to the second starting opening 2004 The second special lottery result drawn by the acceptance of the game ball is changed as the second special symbol and it is until the display is stopped and the effect drawn on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display 1500 is also the first special symbol or It is done according to the time when the second special symbol is displayed fluctuatingly.

  In the gaming machine 1 of this example, as described above, in the normal gaming state, that is, in the left-handed state, the gaming ball does not pass through the gate section 2003, and the driving of the second starting opening door member 2323 is a line I will not. Therefore, in the left-handed state, the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 2004 does not occur, and only the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 2002 occurs. However, except when there is a holding ball for the second special symbol, only the variation display of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display is executed, and the big hit related to the first special symbol (4R normal big hit, 4R latent positive hit , 4R probability variation big hit, 16R sudden probability big hit, 8R probability variation big hit) will occur. For this reason, in the following, the case where there is a reserved memory of the first special symbol will be mainly described.

  The result of the first special lottery drawn by accepting the game balls to the first start port 2002 is controlled by the peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board based on the command from the main control board. ), At the upper part of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, a variable display of the decorative symbol 1600a on the left side, the decorative symbol 1600b on the center, and the decorative symbol 1600c on the right side is started, and a predetermined time has elapsed. Later, the variation display of the decorative symbols 1600a to 1600c is stopped, and the player can recognize the first special lottery result (winning determination result).

  In FIG. 177 (A), the left decorative symbol 1600a and the right decorative symbol 1600c are stopped and displayed with the same symbol on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 as an example of the decorative symbol in change, and only the middle decorative symbol 1600b is changed. An example is shown in which the reach state is generated by the decorative symbol by setting the display mode as follows. In FIG. 177 (A), as an example, the left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol are stopped and displayed with the symbol “7”, and the reach in which only the middle decorative symbol 1600b is changed is shown.

[Display of reserved memory in central liquid crystal display device 1500]
As shown in FIG. 177 (A), a first reserved number display area 1510 (first start port) related to the first special symbol is displayed on the lower left side of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 that can be visually recognized by the player. 2002) is set, and a second reserved number display area 1580 (related to the second start port 2004) related to the second special symbol is set on the lower right side of the display panel.

  In FIG. 177 (A), in the first hold number display area 1510, two hold images 1521, 1522 indicating that the first special symbol is held corresponding to the hold number of the lottery result are displayed. It is indicated that the first number of holds of the lottery result for the special symbol is “2”. Further, in the second hold number display area 1580, a hold image indicating that the second special symbol is held corresponding to the second hold number of the lottery result is not displayed, and the second special symbol is drawn for the second special symbol It is shown that there is no pending number of results.

  In addition, the display of the 1st number of reservations in the 1st number of reservations display area 1510 about the 1st special symbol is the 1st reservation storage towards the center toward the center from the left, the 2nd reservation storage, the 3rd reservation storage, The hold images 1521-1524 are displayed as in the fourth hold storage. In addition, the display of the number of holdings in the second number of holdings display area 1580 of the second number of holdings for the second special symbol is the first holding memory, the second holding memory, the third from the center toward the right The pending image is displayed as in the pending storage, the fourth pending storage.

  In addition, in the present example, the hold images 1521-1524 indicating that the images are held and stored can have a plurality of types of display modes. For example, it takes a plurality of display modes such as an image having the same shape but different display colors, an image having the same display color but different shapes, and an embodiment in which both the shape and the display color of the image are different. obtain.

  In the present embodiment, the hold images 1521-1524 representing that the first special symbol is held and stored is displayed in a circular shape, and the display color of the hold images 1521-1524 changes to a plurality of colors. It is supposed to be.

  In FIG. 177 (A), the reserved image 1521 and the reserved image 1522 for the first reserved memory and the second reserved memory for the first special symbol are displayed in the normal display mode of the reserved memory, for example, in a circular shape. It is displayed in “blue” (first reserved image) and is visible to the player.

  Next, in FIG. 177 (B), the middle decoration symbol 1600b that is being changed is displayed in accordance with the fact that the stop display command received from the main control board is specified by the peripheral control MPU in the command analysis processing in step S601. "5" is stopped and displayed. As a result, the left decorative symbol is "7", the middle decorative symbol is "5" and the right decorative symbol is "7", and the decorative symbol variation stop result is "reach off" "Indicates that the player has been notified.

  Next, in FIG. 177 (C), the peripheral control MPU identifies the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control substrate in the command analysis processing in step S601, and accordingly, the central liquid crystal It is shown that symbol variation of the left decorative symbol 1600a, the middle decorative symbol 1600b and the right decorative symbol 1600c is started in the display panel of the display device 1500. Hereinafter, this is referred to as retention memory retention.

  The peripheral control MPU specifies the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board in the command analysis processing in step S601, and accordingly, the left decorative design is displayed on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. 1600a, the middle decorative symbol 1600b, and the right decorative symbol 1600c are started.

  Then, after this, it is analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601) that the peripheral control MPU has received the first number-of-holds designation command "1" transmitted from the main control board, according to this. The first holding memory is digested for the first special symbol, and the holding image 1521 displayed as the first holding memory disappears, and as the second holding memory for the first special symbol in FIG. 180 (A) The hold image 1522 being displayed becomes a new first hold storage and is displayed as a hold image 1521 (circular and display color "blue") and displayed, and the first hold number of the lottery result for the first special symbol is “1”.

[Hold change production]
FIG. 178 is a diagram showing an example of a hold change presentation using the hold number display on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. As shown in FIG. In FIG. 178 (A), it is analyzed in the command analysis processing (step S601) that the first hold number designation command “2” transmitted from the main control board is received during the variation of the decorative symbols 1600a to 1600c. Thereafter, the fact that the first hold number designation command “3” transmitted from the main control board has been received indicates that it has been analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601).

  In response to this, in the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in FIG. 178 (A), a second second hold is newly added to the right side of the hold image 1521 displayed as the first hold memory for the first special symbol. The stored image 1522 (circular and display color “blue”) is displayed as memory, and the third reserved memory is newly stored on the right side of the stored image 1522 displayed as the second reserved memory. An image 1523 (circular and display color "blue") is displayed, and it is shown that the first hold number of the lottery result for the first special symbol is "3".

  Next, in FIG. 178 (B), it is analyzed by command analysis processing (step S601) that the first hold number designation command “4” transmitted from the main control board is received during the variation of the decorative symbols 1600a to 1600c. In response to this, for the first special symbol, the reserved image 1524 (circular display color is newly displayed on the right side of the reserved image 1523 displayed as the third reserved memory on the right side. “Blue”) is displayed, indicating that the first number of holds of the lottery result for the first special symbol is “4”, and that the number of reserved memories for the first special symbol has reached the upper limit. In the following description, the first hold number display area 1510 is simply referred to as the hold number display area 1510.

[Holding change effect using the upper plate effect button 257 and the hold image representing the hold memory]
In the gaming machine in which the conventional reserved announcement effect is performed, in the normal gaming state, the probability of becoming a big hit is suppressed low, and the probability of becoming a reach is not so high. Therefore, the player has a low chance of seeing the on-hold notice effect. In other words, it can be said that there is a low probability that the hold notice effect will be performed.

  In addition, there is a case where a hold notice is made on condition that the operation button is operated. Hereinafter, since the content of the effect changes when the player operates such an effect form, it is referred to as “participatory effect”. However, because there is a low probability that the hold notice effect will be performed, some players may not have the opportunity to operate the operation buttons provided for the effect as effective, and will be dissatisfied and reduce the interest of the game. There was a risk of

  Therefore, the embodiment described below relates to an invention relating to a gaming machine that makes it possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of a game by expanding opportunities for participation in a participatory effect.

  In the present embodiment, the peripheral control MPU that controls the production control may have a predetermined number (for example, “4” as the upper limit, or a smaller number) of the first reserved number of lottery results for the first special symbol. For example, it may be “3” or “2”), and a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to perform the hold change effect. That is, in this example, whether or not to perform a hold change effect on the condition that the command analysis processing (step S601) has analyzed that the first hold number designation command “4” transmitted from the main control board has been received. It is made to perform a lottery (referred to as a lottery for holding change effect).

  When it is determined to perform the hold change effect in the lottery of the hold change effect, the player can make an operation to the upper plate effect button 257 (FIGS. 22 and 31) effective, and the operation to the upper plate effect button 257 can be performed. Each time it is detected by the effect button pressing sensor 258 (FIG. 38), the on-hold change effect of changing the display color of the on-hold image representing the on-hold storage is performed.

[Screen for holding change effect]
In the hold change effect of this example, the display color (referred to as the final display color) of the hold image to be finally displayed is determined based on the start winning timing. FIG. 178 (C) shows an example of the hold change effect screen displayed on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 when it is determined to perform the hold change effect.

  As shown in FIG. 178C, the left, middle and right decorative symbols are reduced in the upper right portion of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 to perform variable display. Furthermore, the character “The color of the hold changes when the button is pressed!” Is displayed approximately at the center of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display 1500, and the operation to the upper dish effect button 257 (FIG. 22, FIG. 31) It is suggested that it is effective and prompts the player to operate the button.

  In addition, although it can be arbitrarily set how long the effective period which makes the operation to the above-mentioned upper dish effect button 257 (FIG. 22, FIG. 31) effective can be set, as an example, it transmits from the main control board It can be assumed that it is analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601) that the received next control command has been received.

  As the control command, for example, any one of a stop display command, a jackpot start command, a determination result notification command, a first hold number designation command, or a combination selected from a plurality of these control commands is used. Can. In this example, for easy understanding of the explanation, it is assumed that the next stop display command transmitted from the main control board is received until it is analyzed in the command analysis processing (step S601).

  FIG. 179 is a diagram showing an example of a hold change effect using the hold number display on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 performed subsequent to FIG. 178 (C). In FIG. 179 (A), the fourth hold is performed in FIG. 179 (C) as a result of the player performing the operation (first time) on the upper dish effect button 257 according to the suggestion of the button operation to the player. It is shown that the display color of the reserved image 1524 (circular and display color “blue”) that has been stored and displayed in the normal display mode has changed to “green”.

  Although not explicitly shown in FIG. 178C and FIG. 179, the display color of the hold image of the hold storage to be targeted for the button operation by the player changes each time during the hold change effect, but The final display color of the hold image of the hold storage is predetermined when it is decided to perform the hold change presentation. In the specific example shown in the figure, it is assumed that the final display color of the hold image of the target hold storage is determined to be “red”. Then, the display color of the hold image of the target hold storage is displayed in the hold number display area 1510 in the final display color determined as a result.

  In FIG. 179 (A), the letters “The color of the hold changes when the button is pressed!” Is displayed in the approximate center of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display 1500. It is suggested that the operation to the button is effective and that the player is urged to perform the button operation.

  Next, in FIG. 179 (B), as a result of the player operating the upper plate effect button 257 (second time) in response to the button operation suggestion to the player, in FIG. 179 (A), It is shown that the display color of the hold image 1524 displayed as the hold image 1524 (circular display color “green”) as the fourth hold storage has changed to “yellow”.

  Here, among the left, middle and right decorative symbols displayed in a reduced size in the upper right portion of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the left decorative symbol is stopped and displayed with the symbol "3". The decorative pattern on the right continues to change.

  Incidentally, in FIG. 179 (B), the letters “The color of the hold will change when the button is pressed!” Are continuously displayed substantially at the center of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display 1500. It is suggested that the operation to the button is effective, and the player is prompted to operate the button.

  Next, in FIG. 179 (C), as a result of the player performing the operation (third time) on the upper dish effect button 257 according to the suggestion of the button operation to the player, in FIG. 179 (B), It is shown that the display color of the hold image 1524 displayed as the hold image 1524 (circular display color “yellow”) as the fourth hold memory has changed to “rainbow”.

  Here, among the left, middle, and right decorative symbols displayed in a reduced size on the upper right portion of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the right decorative symbol is stopped and displayed as the symbol “3”. Only the decorative symbols in the decorative symbols continue to display the variation. In addition, the stop symbol “3” of the left and right decorative symbols indicates that reach has occurred.

  FIG. 180 is a diagram showing an example of the hold change effect using the hold number display on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 performed subsequent to FIG. 179 (C). In FIG. 180 (A), the middle decorative symbol 1600b in change is the symbol "4" in response to specification of the stop display command received from the main control board by the peripheral control MPU in the command analysis processing of step S601. Stop display, and the reduced display of the left, middle and right decorative symbols in the upper right part of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display 1500 is eliminated, and the original position and size of the center in the display panel of the central liquid crystal display 1500 Is displayed on the back, and as a result, the left decorative symbol is "3", the middle decorative symbol is "4" and the right decorative symbol is "3", and the decorative symbol variation stop result is "reach out" This indicates that the player has been notified.

  In FIG. 180 (A), in response to the stop display command being specified in the command analysis process of step S601, the display mode of the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 indicates that “the color of the hold when the button is pressed”. Is disappearing, suggesting that the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is no longer effective (the validity period for enabling the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 has ended). It has been shown.

  In this way, the hold change effect is performed on the condition that the number of holds indicated by the control command (first hold number designation command “4”) has reached a predetermined number (for example, 4). It has become. Therefore, the player is widely given the opportunity to perform the hold change presentation. Then, while the hold change effect is being executed, the hold storage to be displayed in the number-of-holds display area 1510 every time the operation to the operation input device (upper dish effect button 257) is performed (4 in this example) The display color of the hold image 1524 in the (th hold storage) changes. Therefore, during the on-hold change effect, an opportunity for the player to operate the operation input device is given not only once but a plurality of times. Moreover, every time the operation input device is operated, the display color of the hold image of the target hold storage changes each time. Therefore, since the opportunity which can participate in a holding production participating type | mold effect is expanded, the fall of game interest can be suppressed.

[Relationship between retention memory digestion and retention image]
FIGS. 180 (B) to (C) show the state in which the pending memory is being digested. First, FIG. 180 (B) shows that after the four reserved memories in FIG. 180 (A), two reserved memories have been digested.

  The peripheral control MPU specifies the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board in the command analysis processing in step S601, and accordingly, the left decorative design is displayed on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. 1600a, the middle decorative symbol 1600b, and the right decorative symbol 1600c are started.

  Then, after this, it is analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601) that the peripheral control MPU has received the first number-of-holds designation command "3" transmitted from the main control board, according to this. The first holding memory is digested for the first special symbol, and the holding image 1521 displayed as the first holding memory disappears, and the second to fourth for the first special symbol in FIG. 180 (A) The hold images 1522 (display color "blue"), 1523 (display color "blue"), and 1524 display color "rainbow" displayed as the hold storage become the first to third new hold memories and the hold image It is moved and displayed as 1521 (circle and display color "blue"), reserve image 1522 (circle and display color "blue"), reserve image 1523 (circle and display color "rainbow"), and the first special symbol is displayed. The first pending the number of lottery result is "3".

  Next, in response to the fact that the stop display command received from the main control board is specified by the peripheral control MPU in the command analysis processing in step S601, the changing middle decoration symbol 1600b is “omitted, but out of place”. As a result, the left decorative symbol, middle decorative symbol, and right decorative symbol were stopped and displayed as a combination of disjoint symbols, and the player was informed that the result of the decorative symbol fluctuation stoppage was “displaced”. And

  Next, the peripheral control MPU identifies the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board in the command analysis process of step S601, and accordingly, in the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The symbol variation of the left decorative symbol 1600a, the middle decorative symbol 1600b, and the right decorative symbol 1600c is started.

  Then, after this, it is analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601) that the peripheral control MPU has received the first holding number designation command "2" transmitted from the main control board, and accordingly, The first reserved memory is digested for the first special symbol, and the reserved image 1521 (display color “blue”) displayed as the first reserved memory disappears, and the first special symbol in FIG. 180 (A) 1523 (display color "blue") and 1524 (display color "rainbow") displayed as the second to third hold storage for the new first and second hold storage become the hold image 1521 (display color The circle is moved and displayed as the display color "blue") and the hold image 1522 (circle and display color "rainbow"), and the first hold number of the lottery result for the first special symbol becomes "2". FIG. 180 (B) shows the result of the above-mentioned progress process.

  Thereafter, in response to the fact that the stop display command received from the main control board is specified by the peripheral control MPU in the command analysis processing in step S601, the changing middle decoration symbol 1600b is omitted from the symbol. As a result, the player is informed that the left decorative symbol, the middle decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol are stopped and displayed in combination with the off symbols, and the variation stopping result of the decorative symbols is “off”. To be.

  Next, the peripheral control MPU identifies the determination result notification command and the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board in the command analysis process of step S601, and accordingly, in the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500. The symbol variation of the left decorative symbol 1600a, the middle decorative symbol 1600b, and the right decorative symbol 1600c is started.

  Then, after this, it is analyzed in the command analysis process (step S601) that the peripheral control MPU has received the first number-of-holds designation command "1" transmitted from the main control board, according to this. The first reserved memory is digested for the first special symbol, and the reserved image 1521 (display color "blue") displayed as the first reserved memory disappears, and the first special symbol in FIG. 180 (B) The 15223 (display color "rainbow") displayed as the second storage for the second is the new first storage in FIG. 180 (C), and the storage image 1521 (circular and display color "red"). The first hold number of the lottery result for the first special symbol is "1".

  In this way, in this example, the display color of the reserved image in the target storage stored in the above example is changed to “rainbow” by the player's operation to the upper plate effect button 257 during the hold change effect. The final display color of the pending image of the pending storage that has been targeted is determined in advance when it is decided to perform the pending change presentation.

  The effect developed on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is closely related to the reach variation state and the big hit notification state of the lottery symbols displayed on the display panel, and the player's interest and attention The degree is very high.

  Therefore, even after the hold change effect is over, in other words, even after the effective period of the upper plate effect button 257 has ended, 1 is stored in the first hold number display area 1510 as the hold memory is consumed. The display color of the hold image (the hold image in which the display color is changed) that is the target of sequentially moving the display position toward the th hold storage is maintained as it is without being changed. For this reason, when proceeding with the game, the player is considered not to lower the interest of the game without being adversely affected by the effect information provided from the display panel.

  In the specific example shown in the figure, when the hold image of the target hold storage is displayed as the first hold storage in the number-of-holds display area 1510, it is changed to the final display color "red" determined in advance. As a result, the reserved image stored in the reserved storage is displayed. For this reason, to the player who intends to change the color of the reserved image by operating, it gives surprises and surprises such as "Why ... it is changing to red". Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player's game.

  FIG. 181 is a time schematically representing the hold change effect of this example, the change in the display color of the target hold image, and the display color of the hold image for which the display position is to be changed as the hold storage is digested. It is a chart.

  As shown in FIG. 181, the fluctuation time of the first special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display by the main control MPU and the fluctuation time of the decorative symbol variably displayed on the central liquid crystal display 1500 are approximately one. I do. In addition, the value of the first special hold number counter of the main control MPU is updated to "4" due to the game ball winning in the first starting opening 2002 while the first special symbol fluctuates, and the main control The first hold number designation command “4” is output from the board.

  Whether peripheral control MPU performs holding change effect on condition that it is analyzed by the command analysis process (step S601) that the first holding number designation command "4" transmitted from the main control board has been analyzed or not As a result of the lottery of the hold change effect, it is decided to perform the hold change effect in the lottery of the hold change effect. In this example, the fourth hold memory is set as the hold target of the effect, An operation (referred to as button operation) to the dish effect button 257 is validated. In addition, a reserved image 1524 of a normal display color (circular and display color "blue"), which is described as "blue 4" in the figure, is displayed as the fourth reserved memory determined to be a notice target There is.

  Further, in the hold change effect of this example, the display color (referred to as the final display color) of the hold image to be finally displayed is determined based on the timing of the start winning, and as an example, Assume that the final display color of the reserved image is determined to be “red”.

  In FIG. 181, as a result of the player performing the first button operation while changing the symbol, the display of the hold image 1524 as the fourth hold storage determined to be the effect object, described as “green 4”. The color has changed to "green". Thereafter, as a result of the second button operation by the player, the display color of the reserved image 1524 as the fourth reserved memory that is described as “Yellow 4”, which is described as “Yellow 4”, is changed to “Yellow”. It is changing. Furthermore, as a result of the third button operation being performed by the player after this, the display color of the hold image 1524 as the fourth hold memory determined to be the effect object described as "rainbow 4" is "rainbow" Has changed.

  Thereafter, a stop display command is output from the main control board based on the fact that the variation of the first special symbol has stopped. The peripheral control MPU stops the variation of the decorative symbols on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 in response to the stop display command being specified in the command analysis processing in step S601. At the same time, it is shown that the button operation is no longer valid (the validity period during which the operation to the upper plate effect button 257 is valid has ended).

  After that, the main control MPU displays the variation of the decorative symbol as the number of the first special symbol held is exhausted. In FIG. 181, each variation of the first special symbol and the decorative symbol of the first special symbol indicator is displayed. The display has been made three times. The first hold number designation command 3 (hereinafter, simply referred to as the hold number designation command 3) is output as the first hold memory is consumed, and the display position of the hold image is displayed in the hold number display area 1510 accordingly. And the reserved image 1524 as the fourth reserved memory determined as the production target is shifted to the reserved image as the third reserved memory described as “Rainbow 3” without changing the display color. Is displayed.

  Thereafter, along with the second storage of the reserve memory, the first reserve number specification command 2 (hereinafter simply referred to as reserve number specification command 2) is output, and accordingly, the reserve image in the reserve number display area 1510 The display position is shifted, and the hold image 1524 as the third hold storage determined to be the production object is the second hold storage image described as “rainbow 2” without changing the display color. It is displayed shifted.

  Further, as the third hold memory is consumed, the first hold number designation command 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as the hold number designation command 1) is output, and in response to this, the hold number display area 1510 displays the hold image. The display position is shifted, and the hold image 1524 as the third hold storage determined to be the effect target changes the determined final display color as the first hold storage described as “red 1”. It is displayed being shifted to the hold image of.

[Processes related to pending storage notice by peripheral control MPU]
FIG. 182 is a flowchart showing each process executed by the peripheral control MPU in connection with the pending storage as each process of the effect control process of step S602 in FIG. 168. In the effect control process, the peripheral control MPU sequentially executes the hold number designation command process (step A100), the hold change effect determination process (step A200), the hold change effect process (step A300), and the hold image shift process (step A400). Do. The substantial execution conditions in each process are as described below.

  If it is specified that the command analyzed in step S601 of the 16 ms steady process shown in FIG. 168 is the first pending number specification command (hereinafter, simply referred to as the pending number specification command), the step In the production control process of S602, the hold number designation command process of step A100 is executed.

  When it is determined that the number of pending storages has reached a predetermined number (for example, "4" in this example) as an execution condition of the pending change effect for changing the pending image in the pending number specifying command process of step A100. In step A200, the pending change effect determination process is substantially executed.

  When the hold change effect determination process of step A200 is substantially executed and it is determined to perform the hold change effect, the hold change effect process of step A300 is substantially executed. In step A100, when it is determined that the number of holds has decreased by one, and it is determined that the display position of the hold image needs to be shifted, the hold image shift process is substantially executed.

[Hold count specification command processing]
The number-of-holds specification command process is executed when it is specified that the command analyzed in the command analysis of step S601 is the number-of-holds specification commands. It is transmitted from the main control board. The hold count specification command is a control command that is output when the hold count (memory count) managed in the main control board changes, and is a command for specifying the hold count,
Hold number designation command “0” for designating the hold number “0 (none)”,
Hold number designation command “1” for designating the hold number “1”,
Hold number designation command “2” for designating the hold number “2”,
Hold number designation command “3” for designating the hold number “3”,
Hold number designation command “4” for designating the hold number “4” (upper limit number),
There are five types.

  FIG. 183 to FIG. 184 are flowcharts showing a subroutine of the pending number designation command processing executed by the peripheral control MPU. When the peripheral control MPU starts the pending number designation command processing, first, the pending number designated by the pending number designation command analyzed by the command analysis in step S601 is “0” (hereinafter simply referred to as the designated pending number). ) Is determined (step A110).

  If the peripheral control MPU determines in step A110 that the designated holding number is "0", it sets the value 0 to the first holding number counter for storing the holding number (step A111). ), Clears the first to fourth of the hold image storage area set in the built-in RAM (not shown) (step A112), exits the subroutine for the number-of-holds designation command processing, and returns to the routine of effect control processing.

  FIG. 188 is a diagram showing tables, storage areas, and processing operations necessary for the peripheral control MPU to perform each process related to the pending storage. As shown in FIG. 188 (D), the built-in RAM is provided with the first reserved image storage area to the fourth reserved image storage area corresponding to the values 1 to 4 respectively in the first reserved number counter. .

  On the other hand, if the peripheral control MPU determines in step A110 that the designated number of reservations is not "0", the process proceeds to step A113, and whether or not the designated number of reservations is "4" ( It is determined whether or not a predetermined number has been reached (step A113). In this example, it is determined to perform a hold change effect by a hold image on the condition that the value of the hold number has reached a predetermined number. The predetermined number is described as “4” in this example, but is not limited thereto. The predetermined number may be a smaller number, for example, “3” or “2”.

  If the peripheral control MPU determines in step A113 that the designated holding number is “4”, it sets the value 4 to the first holding number counter for storing the holding number (step A114). ), The reserve image (circular shape) is set to the fourth of the reserve image storage area (step A115), and the display color of the reserve image is set to normal ("blue" in this example) (step A116). The execution flag for the changed effect determination process is set (step A117), the process exits the suspension number designation command process subroutine, and returns to the effect control process routine.

  On the other hand, if the peripheral control MPU determines in step A113 that the designated number of holds is not “4”, the peripheral control MPU proceeds to step A113. In this case, the designated number of holds is any one of “1”, “2”, and “3”. In step A114, the peripheral control MPU compares the designated holding number with the value of the first holding number counter (step A120).

  Then, it is determined whether the compared result is an increase of “+1” (step A121). When it is determined that the comparison result is “+1” increase, for example, when the designated number of pending is “3” and the value of the first pending number counter is 2, etc., for storing the pending number The value is incremented by 1 in the first hold number counter (step A122), and the hold image (circular shape) is set in the hold image storage area (see FIG. 188 (D)) corresponding to the value of the first hold number counter (step A123). ), The display color of the hold image is set to normal (“blue” in this example) (step A124), the subroutine for the hold number designation command process is exited, and the process returns to the effect control process routine.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step A121 that the result of the comparison is not an increase of “+1”, for example, if the designated hold number is “3” and the value of the first hold number counter is 4, or For example, when the designated hold number is “2” and the value of the first hold number counter is 3, the comparison result is “−1”.

  The peripheral control MPU determines that the step A121 is NO, and decrements the value of the first hold number counter for storing the hold number by 1 (step A126), and uses a shift flag for executing the hold image shift process described later. 1 (execution) is set (step A127), the subroutine for the number-of-holds designation command processing is exited, and the process returns to the effect control processing routine.

[Hold change production decision processing]
FIG. 185 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of pending change effect determination processing executed by the peripheral control MPU. When the peripheral control MPU starts the hold change effect determination process, it first determines whether or not the execution flag is set (step A130). The execution flag is set in step A117 of the processing for the number-of-holds described above.

  If it is determined in step A130 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the execution flag is not set, that is, if it is determined NO in step A130, the subroutine of the pending change presentation determination processing is performed without performing the substantial processing. Then, the process returns to the effect control process routine.

  If it is determined in step A130 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the execution flag is set, that is, if it is determined that step A130 is YES, a random number for hold change effect (for example, 0 to 99) is acquired (step A131) The value of the hold change effect random number acquired and the hold change effect determination table are referred to (step A132), and it is determined whether a hold change effect is to be performed (step A133).

  FIG. 188 (A) is a diagram illustrating an example of a distribution rate of a hold change effect determination table stored in a ROM (not shown). As shown in FIG. 188 (A), in this example, it is determined that the holding change presentation is performed at a rate of 70% of the distribution ratio. A separate effect (an effect that is not a hold change effect) is performed for the remaining distribution ratio of 30%.

  In step A133, if the peripheral control MPU determines not to perform the hold change effect, that is, if step A133 is determined to be NO, the process proceeds to step A140 to clear the execution flag of the hold change effect determination process (step A140), the suspension change effect determination process subroutine is exited, and the process returns to the effect control process routine. In this case, the substantial hold change effect process described later is not executed.

  In step A133, if the peripheral control MPU determines that the hold change effect is to be performed, that is, if step A133 is determined to be YES, the process proceeds to step A134 and sets the execution flag of the hold change effect process (step A134). . Thereby, the execution of the pending change presentation process is determined.

  Next, the peripheral control MPU acquires a final display color random number (for example, 0 to 6) (step A135), refers to the acquired final display color determination random value and the final display color determination table, and determines the final display color. Is determined (step A136), and the reserved image having the determined final display color is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM (step A137).

  FIG. 188B is a diagram illustrating an example of a final display color determination table stored in a ROM (not shown). As shown in FIG. 188 (B), if the value of the obtained random number for final display color determination is “0”, the final display color of the reserve image is determined to be “blue”, and if “1”, the reserve image If the final display color of is determined to be "yellow" and "2" the final display color of the reserve image is determined to be "green", and if "3" the final display color of the reserve image is determined to be "orange" The final display color of the reserve image is determined to be "purple" if it is "4", the final display color of the reserve image is determined to be "red" if it is "5", and the reserve image is if it is "6" The final display color of is determined to be "rainbow".

  Next, the peripheral control MPU sets “1 (stored)” in the storage flag indicating that the final display color has been stored (step A138), and indicates what number of the pending image the pending change presentation target is Set the value of the display location counter to the number representing the display location, "4" in this example (Step A139), proceed to Step A140, clear the execution flag of the hold change effect determination process (Step A140), and hold change effect Exit the decision processing subroutine and return to the effect control processing routine. In this case, the pending change presentation process is executed.

[Hold change effect processing]
FIG. 186 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of pending change presentation processing executed by the peripheral control MPU. When the peripheral control MPU starts the hold change effect process, it first determines whether or not the execution flag is set (step A150). The execution flag is set in step A134 of the hold change presentation determination process described above.

  In step A150, if the peripheral control MPU determines that the execution flag is not set, that is, if step A150 is determined to be NO, the peripheral control MPU exits the hold change effect processing subroutine without performing substantial processing. Then, the process returns to the effect control process routine. In this case, the on-hold change effect is not substantially performed.

  If the peripheral control MPU determines in step A150 that the execution flag is set, that is, if step A150 is determined to be YES, whether or not there is a button operation (whether the upper plate effect button 257 has been pressed) or not. It is determined (step A151). That is, the state in which the execution flag is set is the state in which the operation of the upper dish effect button 257 by the player is enabled.

  In Step A151, when it is determined that there is a button operation, that is, when Step A151 is determined to be YES, the peripheral control MPU acquires an operation random number (for example, 0 to 6) (Step A152). The value of the operation random number and the operation display color selection table are referenced (step A153), the display color is determined (step A154), and the hold image of the determined display color is shown in FIG. 188 (D). Store in the image storage area (step A155) and proceed to step A156.

  FIG. 188 (C) is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation display color selection table stored in a ROM (not shown). As shown in FIG. 188 (C), if the acquired random number for operation is “0”, the display color of the reserved image is determined as “rainbow”, and if it is “1”, the display color of the reserved image is "Yellow" is determined, if "2" the display color of the reserve image is determined to "green", if "3" the final display color of the reserve image is determined to "orange", "4" If so, the final display color of the reserved image is determined to be “purple”. If it is “5”, the final display color of the reserved image is determined to be “green”. "Rainbow" is determined.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step A151 that there is no button operation, that is, if step A151 is determined to be NO, the peripheral control MPU directly performs step A156 without performing steps A152 to A155. move on.

  In step A156, the peripheral control MPU determines whether or not a stop display command has been received (step A156). That is, the peripheral control MPU determines that a stop display command has been received when it is specified that the command analyzed in the command analysis in step S601 is a stop display command.

  If it is determined in step A156 that the peripheral control MPU has received the stop display command, that is, if it is determined YES in step A156, the execution flag of the pending change presentation process is cleared (step A157). The subroutine of the hold change effect process is exited and the process returns to the effect control process routine. In this case, no subsequent hold change presentation is performed. Moreover, in this example, the state which validates operation to the top plate production | presentation button 257 by a player is complete | finished.

  In step A156, if the peripheral control MPU determines that no stop display command has been received, that is, if step A156 is determined to be NO, the process of step A157 is not performed, and the suspension change effect processing subroutine is performed. To return to the effect control processing routine. In this case, since the execution flag is set, the suspension change effect processing subroutine is subsequently executed. For this reason, every time there is a button operation, step A152 to step A155 are executed. Therefore, the display color of the hold image changes.

  In this way, the hold change effect is performed on the condition that the number of holds indicated by the control command (first hold number designation command “4”) has reached a predetermined number (for example, 4). It has become. Therefore, the player is widely given the opportunity to perform the hold change presentation. In addition, whenever the operation input device (top plate effect button 257) is operated during the execution of the hold change effect, the display color of the hold image 1524 to be displayed in the hold number display area 1510 is displayed. Change. Therefore, during the on-hold change effect, an opportunity for the player to operate the operation input device is given not only once but a plurality of times. Moreover, every time the operation input device is operated, the display color of the holding image as the presentation object changes each time. Therefore, since the opportunity to participate in the participatory effect by the hold change effect has been expanded, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the game entertainment interest.

[Hold image shift processing]
FIG. 187 is a flowchart showing a subroutine for the hold image shift process executed by the peripheral control MPU. The peripheral control MPU, when starting the reserved image shift process, first determines whether the shift flag is set (step A160). The shift flag is set in step A127 of the hold number designation command process described above.

  If it is determined in step A160 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the shift flag is not set, that is, if step A160 is determined to be NO, the subroutine of the pending image shift processing is exited without performing the substantial processing. Then, the process returns to the effect control process routine. In this case, substantially no shift of the display position of the reserved image (moving to the left) is performed.

  If it is determined in step A160 that the peripheral control MPU determines that the shift flag is set, that is, if step A160 is determined to be YES, the second to fourth hold image storage areas in FIG. 188 (D) are stored. The reserved images are respectively copied to the copy areas 1 to 3 (not shown) (step A161), the first to fourth reserved image storage areas are cleared (step A162), and the copy areas 1 to 3 (not shown). Are stored in the first to third reserved image storage areas (step A163). See FIG. 188 (E).

  Next, the peripheral control MPU determines whether the storage flag is set (step A164). The storage flag is set in step A138 of the hold change presentation determination process described above.

  If the peripheral control MPU determines in step A164 that the storage flag is not set, that is, if step A164 is determined to be NO, the hold image shift process is performed without performing the processes in steps A165 to A169. The process returns from the subroutine of to the routine of effect control processing. In this case, only the display position of the hold image is substantially shifted (moved one place to the left).

  On the other hand, if the peripheral control MPU determines in step A164 that the storage flag is set, that is, if step A164 is determined to be YES, this indicates that the hold change effect has been performed. The peripheral control MPU decrements the value of the display location counter by 1 (step A165), proceeds to step A166, and determines whether the value of the display location counter is "1" (position for displaying the hold image in the final display color). It determines (step A166). By the process of step A165, the display position of the hold image set as the effect target is updated.

  In step A166, if the peripheral control MPU determines that the value of the display location counter is not “1”, that is, if step A166 is determined to be NO, each processing of step A167 to step A169 is performed. Instead, the process exits the subroutine of the hold image shift process and returns to the effect control process routine. In this case, substantially only the shift of the display position of the hold image (moving to the left by one) is performed.

  On the other hand, in Step A166, when the peripheral control MPU determines that the value of the display location counter is “1”, that is, when Step A166 is determined to be YES, each processing of Step A167 to Step A169 is performed. Do. That is, the reserved image of the final display color determined and stored first is stored in the first reserved image storage area (step A167), the storage flag is cleared (step A168), and "0" is displayed in the display location counter. Set (step A169), the process exits the suspended image shift process subroutine and returns to the effect control process routine.

  Note that the hold image is displayed on the display panel of the central liquid crystal display device 1500 by outputting image data in the information output process in step S605 of FIG. 168.

  As is apparent from the above description, even if the player has not operated the button even once, the reserved image [normal display color "blue"] targeted for the effect is the first. When the display position is reached, the hold image is displayed in the final display color determined and stored previously, and the display color changes.

  Therefore, even after the hold change effect is over, in other words, even after the effective period of the upper plate effect button 257 has ended, 1 is stored in the first hold number display area 1510 as the hold memory is consumed. The display color of the holding image (the holding image in which the display color is changed) as the target of the effect of sequentially moving the display position toward the second holding storage is maintained without being changed. For this reason, when proceeding with the game, the player is considered not to lower the interest of the game without being adversely affected by the effect information provided from the display panel.

  In the specific example shown in the figure, when the hold image to be produced is displayed as the first hold memory in the hold number display area 1510, it is changed to a predetermined final display color, for example, “red”. The hold image set as the target of presentation is displayed. For this reason, to the player who intends to change the color of the reserved image by operating, it gives surprises and surprises such as "Why ... it is changing to red". Therefore, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest of the player's game.

  As mentioned above, although an embodiment about pending change presentation was explained, a pending image may change to a display color different from a usual display color, for example, "blue", and a pending image may be displayed by a final display color in the last display position. The manner in which the player receives it is entirely left to the player's imagination.

  In the present embodiment, the condition for changing the display color of the holding image is a condition that the number of holdings has reached a predetermined number. Therefore, it is not limited by whether or not the reserved storage that won the start opening is a big hit or whether or not reach occurs.

  In the above embodiment, when the stop display command is received as the end of the valid period of the button operation, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the big hit start command, the determination result notification command, the first hold number specification command , Or may be used. For example, when a jackpot start command is received as the end of the button operation valid period, the button operation becomes effective over a plurality of decorative symbol variation displays until the jackpot game is started. The display color will change.

  For this reason, during the hold change effect, the opportunity for the player to operate the operation input device is given not only for the variable display by one decoration pattern but also for the variable display by a plurality of decoration patterns. . Moreover, every time the operation input device is operated, the display color of the reserved image to be produced changes each time. Thus, since the opportunity to participate in the participatory effect by the on-hold change effect is expanded, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the game entertainment.

[Example of pending preview effect using upper dish effect button and hold image]
In the embodiment relating to the holding effect described so far, the peripheral control MPU responsible for effect control has a predetermined number of first holding results of the lottery result for the first special symbol (for example, even if it is “4” which is the upper limit) Although it has been described that it is determined whether or not the holding effect is to be performed on condition that the number is smaller than that, for example, "3" or "2" may have been reached. The holding effect is determined by whether or not the peripheral control MPU performs the holding effect when the launched game ball wins the start prize. It is a holding notice effect that changes the display color of the hold image a predetermined number of times after determining the display color (referred to as the final display color) of the hold image to be finally displayed in the hold image determined and determined in advance.

  In the hold notification effect of this example, the point in time from when the operation on the upper dish effect button 257 becomes effective is appropriately set in advance, and while the operation is effective, the central liquid crystal display device 1500, various speakers, etc. By performing an effect (operation request effect effect) for requesting the player to operate the upper dish effect button 257 using the notification means of, to inform that the operation to the upper dish effect button 257 is effective, Then, when the player presses the upper plate effect button 257 according to the operation request effect, a hold notice effect is performed in which the display color of the hold image is changed according to the degree of expectation for the big hit.

  Below, the example regarding the reservation notice production | presentation of this example is demonstrated. In addition, the reserved image for which it is determined that the reserved notice effect will be performed is hereinafter referred to as “notice reserved image”. Further, in the reserve announcement effect of this example, the display color (referred to as the final display color) of the reserve image to be finally displayed is determined based on the timing of the start winning, and as an example, the reserve image of the advance notice target It is assumed that the final display color of is determined to be "red", which has high expectation for jackpot.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display color of the hold display, which changes in response to the pressing operation on the upper dish effect button 257, is configured to suggest the player the expectation for the jackpot.
The display color of the preview image in the present embodiment is "blue", "yellow", "green", "orange", "red", and [blue, which is the normal display color] is the expectation for the most successful jackpot. The color with a low degree of color, [red as the final display color] is set as the color with the highest degree of expectation for the jackpot, “blue” <“yellow” <“green” <“orange” <“red” The order has high expectations.
As the order of change in the display color of the hold image, the player presses the upper plate effect button 257 in response to the operation request effect while [normal display color “blue”] is displayed. The display color changes to any one of “yellow”, “green”, and “orange”, and then the hold display indicating that the hold notice effect is executed for a specific trigger, for example, is the display position of the first hold image When it is shifted to, the final display color is changed to "red".
Hereinafter, the flow of the on-hold notice effect will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 189 shows an example of a flow in the hold notice effect, and (A) shows a state in which the hold notice effect is performed in the third hold image, and (B). Shows a state in which the third hold image is shifted to the second hold position, (C) shows a state after the operation on the upper dish effect button 257 is performed, (D) shows It shows a state in which the hold image shifted to the second hold position is further shifted to the first hold position.

  As shown in (A), when it is determined by the peripheral control MPU that on-hold notice effect is to be performed for the on-hold image displayed at the third on-hold position, by the time the symbol variation currently being performed is finished The central liquid crystal display device 1500 displays a message image of “Note the third hold!” And, in the vicinity of the hold image (notice hold image) displayed at the third hold position, an arrow and “ "" Is displayed to notify the player of the fact that the on-hold notice effect is to be performed and to make it recognized.

  Next, as shown in (B), the change of the hold image displayed at the first hold position in (A) is started, and the center is triggered by the advance hold image being shifted to the second hold position. An image prompting an operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1500 ("Pressing the button changes the color of the hold ?!") (operation request effect). As a result, the player recognizes that the operation on the upper dish effect button 257 is effective, and further depressing the upper dish effect button 257 reminds a feeling that something to be obtained may occur. Can be configured.

  Then, in response to the operation request effect, by pressing the upper dish effect button 257, as shown in (C-1), the display color of the preview image is changed from "blue" to "green". As a result, the player can change the display color of the preview pending image by his / her operation, and can recall that the expectation to the jackpot has been increased, and the interest to the game can be enhanced. Note that it is determined by the peripheral control MPU what color the reserved image changes from the “blue” reserved image after the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed.

  In (B), the change mode of the notice hold image when the player does not operate the upper plate effect button 257 is more than the case where the operation is detected, as shown in (C-2). The display color changes to “yellow”, which has a low expectation for jackpot. As a result, although it is displayed as having a low expectation for the jackpot as compared to when the upper dish effect button 257 is operated, the display color is changed to a display having a higher expectation than “blue” which is a normal display color. To have a sense of anticipation for the jackpot. In addition, the player who notices that the display color in which the expectation to the jackpot is higher is higher when the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed has an advantage for operating the upper dish effect button 257. In addition to being able to actively participate in the production for feeling, it is possible to improve the interest in the game.

  Next, as shown in (D), when the notice hold image is displayed as the first hold memory, it is changed to a predetermined final display color, in this example, “red” and displayed. . The player who operates the upper dish effect button 257 changes the display color of the preview image to "green", which has a higher degree of expectation than "blue," and holds "red," which is considered to have the highest degree of expectation By seeing the display color being changed and displayed on the image, it is possible to feel a further expectation and to enhance the interest in the game. In addition, even when the upper-plate effect button 257 is accidentally operated, the display image of "yellow" with a low expectation for jackpot to the "red" reserved image considered to have the highest expectation Because there is a follow that the display color changes, it can be wiped out even if the sense of expectation drops because the display color is low and the expectation level is low, suppressing the decline in the interest in games can do.

  In the explanation of the hold notice effect, the operation request effect is performed when the notice hold image is shifted from the third hold position to the second hold position, and the display color of the notice hold image is changed only once. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an operation request effect may be performed every time the hold position of the notice hold image shifts, and the display color of the notice hold image may be changed. For example, when the reserved image at the fourth holding position is used as the notice holding image, the operation request effect is performed in response to the shift to the third holding position, and the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed to notify the user. The display color of the hold image changes from "blue" to "yellow". Next, when the notice hold image is shifted to the second hold position, an operation request effect is performed, and when the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed, the display color of the notice hold image is changed from “yellow” to “green”. Change. When the notice hold image is shifted to the first hold position, the final display color changes to “red”.

  According to the above example, the on-hold notice effect is performed whenever the display position of the designated on-hold notice image is shifted. Therefore, the display color of the on-hold image is changed multiple times for one on-hold image. It is possible to In addition, since the display color of the preview image is displayed with a high degree of expectation for the jackpot every time the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed by the operation of the player, the player is approaching the jackpot by participating in the reserved preview effect. Therefore, the player actively participates in the hold notice effect, and can hope to improve the interest in the game.

[Second Example in Hold Notice Effect Using Upper Plate Effect Button and Hold Image]
Further, the trigger for performing the on-hold notice effect is not based on the case where the display position of the on-hold image is shifted, but on the basis of the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern output from the main control board to the peripheral control board. It may be determined whether or not to perform the hold notice effect on the notice hold image.

  For example, when the hold before the notice hold image becomes the change, and the change notice time is short (for example, less than 10 seconds), the hold notice effect is performed. Even if an attempt is made to press the upper plate effect button 257, the change display of the change will end immediately, so that the player cannot miss the upper plate effect button 257 within the time and thinks that the player missed the opportunity, There is a risk that interest in In addition, since the user wants to press the upper plate effect button 257 within the time, there is a possibility that only the hold notice effect is distracted and the change display of the change cannot be fully enjoyed. The hold notice effect is performed when the change time of hold when the display position of the hold image is shifted is longer than a predetermined change time (10 seconds or more in this example).

  After the operation request effect is performed by performing the hold notice effect when the fluctuation time related to the hold before the notice hold image is 10 seconds or more as in the above configuration, the player presses the upper plate effect button 257. A sufficient amount of time for pressing can be secured, so that the possibility of failing to press the upper plate effect button 257 in a short time can be suppressed as much as possible. You can prevent the situation that you can not enjoy

[Third Embodiment of Hold Notification Effect Using Upper Plate Effect Button and Hold Image]
Further, it may be determined whether or not to perform the hold notice effect on the notice hold image based on the variation pattern output from the main control board to the peripheral control board.

In the present embodiment, when the display position of the advance notice image is shifted, the on-hold notice effect is performed when the change variation mode of the change is performed with a change.
If the fluctuation is a fluctuation display with reach, the player recalls the idea that the jackpot may come, and the expectation for the jackpot related to the fluctuation increases. In this state, by further performing a reserve announcement effect on the advance notice image, it is possible to add a sense of expectation for the jackpot, and it is possible to enhance the interest in the game. In addition, even if the result of the change is out of date, the notice pending image is maintained, so that it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the game.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the final display color of the preliminary preview image is determined to be “red”, which has a high degree of expectation for the jackpot, but is not limited thereto. A color that changes when the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed, such as “green” or “orange”, may be the final color.

  Furthermore, when performing a hold notice effect multiple times for one notice hold image, for example, when the display color of “green” is currently displayed as the notice hold image, the display color changes from “green” to “yellow”. It is supposed not to. Since the display color does not change to a display color with a lower expectation level than the currently displayed display color, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game related to the display color change.

  In addition, a display color having a higher expectation level than the final display color of the notice hold image is not displayed as a display color caused by pressing the upper plate effect button 257. For example, when the final display color of the notice hold image is set to “green”, when the upper plate button 257 is pressed in the hold notice effect, “orange” or “red” having higher expectations than “green” is displayed. The display color is not displayed. As a result, when the notice pending image becomes the final display color, the display color that is expected to be higher than the currently displayed notice pending image is displayed as the final display color, so it is possible to improve the interest in the game. .

  Further, the determination of the display color of the advance notice image related to the advance notice effect is determined by the peripheral control MPU. The display color that changes from the standard display color "blue" to what color to display, and what color the display color will eventually be displayed is determined as a scenario. This is determined by the peripheral control MPU as one scenario pattern.

FIG. 190 (a) is a scenario pattern table showing a pattern in which the display color of the preliminary preview image changes.
The scenario determining random number in this example is set so as to determine which of the on-hold notice effects is to be executed. In this example, the scenario patterns 1 to 4 are provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a scenario pattern may be prepared and provided as appropriate.

  When pattern 1 is selected by the peripheral control MPU, a hold notice effect is performed when the display position of the notice hold image is shifted. The number of holding notice effects due to pressing the upper plate effect button 257 is one, and when the player presses the upper plate effect button 257, the display color changes to “green” and is not pressed. If it does, the display color changes to "yellow". When the notice hold image is shifted to the first hold position, the final display color changes to “red”.

  When pattern 2 is selected by the peripheral control MPU, a hold notice effect is performed when the display position of the notice hold image is shifted. The display color is "green" when the number of suspension notice effects resulting from pressing the upper dish effect button 257 is two times and the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed by the player in the first hold advance effect. When the button is not pressed, the display color changes to “yellow”. Next, the display color changes to "orange" when the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed by the player in the second hold notification effect, and the display color changes to "green" when the upper dish effect button 257 is not pressed. When the notice hold image is shifted to the first hold position, the final display color changes to “red”.

  When the pattern 3 is selected by the peripheral control MPU, the hold notice effect is performed when the display position of the notice hold image is shifted. The display color is "yellow" when the number of suspension notice effects resulting from pressing the upper dish effect button 257 is two and the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed by the player in the first hold advance effect. If the button is not pressed, the display color does not change and is displayed as "blue". Next, if the player presses the upper plate effect button 257 in the second holding notice effect, the display color changes to “green”, otherwise the display color does not change and remains “blue”. Is displayed. When the notice hold image is shifted to the first hold position, the final display color changes to “orange”.

  When the pattern 4 is selected by the peripheral control MPU, the suspension announcement effect is performed when the fluctuation mode of the suspension in which the fluctuation is performed when the display position of the preliminary announcement image is shifted is a fluctuation with reach. The number of holding notice effects due to pressing the upper plate effect button 257 is one, and when the player presses the upper plate effect button 257, the display color changes to “green” and is not pressed. If it does, the display color changes to "yellow". When the notice hold image is shifted to the first hold position, the final display color changes to “red”.

  The example of the scenario pattern selected by the peripheral control MPU has been described above. Further, in the peripheral control board, a scenario pattern determination random number and a scenario pattern table are prepared in advance as means for determining a scenario pattern in the preliminary announcement pending image in the suspension announcement rendering, and the scenario pattern determination random number Based on the scenario pattern table, any scenario related to the hold notice effect is determined.

  As shown in FIG. 190 (b), for example, 100 types of variable random numbers are set as determination values (0 to 99) indicating that one of the scenario patterns is to be executed, and 25 types of variable random numbers among the variable random numbers are , And set as a determination value indicating execution of the suspension notification effect of pattern 1 (0 to 24), and 20 types of variable random numbers are set as a determination value indicating execution of pattern 2 (25 to 44), 40 types of variable random numbers are set as determination values indicating that pattern 3 is executed (45 to 89). Ten types of variable random numbers are set as determination values indicating that pattern 4 is executed (90 to 99).

According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the change pattern of the display color of the preview image is different depending on the scenario pattern of the reserve announcement effect determined by the peripheral control MPU, and even if the scenario pattern is the same. Since the change mode relating to the display color of the advance preview image is made different depending on whether the upper dish effect button 257 is operated or not, it is possible to provide the player with an advance preview effect of various variations. According to the configuration of the present embodiment, it is possible to make the player feel better by changing the color of the display color of the advance reservation image, and it is possible to improve the interest for the game. Change the display color of the preview image according to the scenario pattern of Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with various variations of the suspension notice effect, and it is possible to make the player feel better by changing the display color of the preview image.

  In the above-described hold notice effect, the display color of the notice hold image changes depending on whether or not the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed. When the held image to be displayed is variably displayed, if the variation mode is a variation mode with reach, the display color of the notice pending image is changed without triggering an operation on the upper plate effect button 257 by the player. Or, there may be a configuration in which the reserved color of the notice hold image is changed without any advance notice without any notice to the player.

  According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the change mode related to the display color of the notice hold image differs depending on the scenario pattern related to the notice notice of hold determined by the peripheral control MPU, and even if the scenario pattern is the same Since the change mode related to the display color of the notice hold image varies depending on whether or not to operate the upper plate effect button 257, various kinds of hold notice effects can be provided to the player. The change mode relating to the display color of the notice hold image makes it possible to make the player feel excited and to improve the interest in the game.

[Change timing of preview image on hold preview effect]
Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of change timings relating to the reserved color of the preliminary image hold image, which changes after the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 in the preliminary announcement effect, is provided.

  The timing pattern (hereinafter referred to as a change timing pattern) in which the display color of the notice hold image in the hold notice effect changes is an immediate change pattern, a change pattern after one second, and a change pattern after two seconds described later. FIG. 200 is a time chart when an immediate change pattern is selected from among change timing patterns of a notice hold image in a hold notice effect, and FIG. 200 illustrates a later-described one second of change timing patterns of a notice hold image in a hold notice effect. FIG. 201 is a time chart when the post-change pattern is selected, and FIG. 201 is a time chart when the change pattern after two seconds is selected among the change timing patterns of the advance notice hold image in the hold advance notice effect. FIG. 202 is a change timing table showing a change timing pattern of the notice hold image.

  In the time chart of FIG. 199, timings of (A) operation effective period, (B) operation request effect, (C) upper plate effect button operation detection, and (D) immediate change pattern are shown. In the time chart of FIG. 201, (A) the operation valid period, (B) the operation request effect, (C) the upper plate effect button operation detection, and (E) the change pattern after 1 second are shown. In the time chart, (A) the operation effective period, (B) the operation request effect, (C) the upper plate effect button operation detection, and (F) the change pattern after 2 seconds are shown.

  When holding advance presentation effects are performed, as shown in (A), the point of time when the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 becomes valid is invalidated in advance, and as shown in (B) during that time By performing an effect (operation request effect) for requesting the player to operate the upper plate effect button 257 using notification means such as the central liquid crystal display device 1500 and various speakers, the upper plate effect button 257 It is configured to notify that the operation on is effective. Then, in response to the operation request effect, as shown in (C), when the player presses the upper plate effect button 257, the display color of the notice hold image changes. After the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed, the operation valid period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are ended, and the display color of the notice pending image changes. An immediate change pattern in which the display color of the notice hold image immediately changes when the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed as shown in (D), and 1 when the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed as shown in (E). 1 second change pattern in which the display color of the notice hold image changes after 2 seconds, as shown in (F), 2 seconds after the upper tray effect button 257 is pressed and the display color of the notice hold image changes after 2 seconds There is a pattern etc.

  When the immediate change pattern is selected, as shown in FIG. 199, when the operation valid period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, the player provides an upper plate effect button 257. When the pressing operation is performed, the operation valid period and the operation request effect are turned off when the operation is detected, and then the display color of the notice pending image changes.

  Also, when the change pattern after one second is selected, as shown in FIG. 200, when the operation effective period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, the upper tray is selected by the player. When the effect button 257 is pressed, the operation valid period and the operation request effect are turned off when the operation is detected, and a notice-pending image is displayed one second after the operation of the upper plate effect button 257 is detected. The color changes.

If the change pattern after 2 seconds is selected, as shown in FIG. 201, when the operation valid period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, the upper tray is selected by the player. When the effect button 257 is pressed, the operation valid period and the operation request effect are turned off in response to the detection of the operation, and the display of the preview image is made two seconds after the operation of the upper tray effect button 257 is detected. The color changes.
As a result, the display color of the preview pending image changes after the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed depending on which change pattern is selected, so the display color of the preview pending image changes at which timing. The throbbing feeling obtained by not knowing what to do increases, making it possible to entertain various variations in the on-hold announcement effect.

  In addition, in the hold notice effect, the operation request period until the player is requested to operate the upper plate effect button 257 but the operable period for accepting the pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257 ends. If the immediate change pattern is selected, the display color of the notice hold image changes immediately after the operation valid period ends, and if the change pattern is selected after 1 second, The display color of the notice suspension image changes 1 second after the operation effective period ends, and when the change pattern after 2 seconds is selected, the display color of the notice suspension image changes 2 seconds after the operation effective period ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display color of the notice pending image may change at an appropriate timing after the operable period ends. As a result, for example, the operation request effect is missed and the display color of the notice hold image changes even when the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 cannot be performed, so the display color of the notice hold image is low in expectation. It is possible to prevent the display color from being displayed and to bring back the feeling that the player has lost the game, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  Further, the peripheral control board has a change timing determination random number for determining the timing at which the display color of the preview suspension image changes, as a means for determining the timing at which the display color of the preview suspension image changes in the suspension preview effect. The change timing table is prepared in advance, and the change timing pattern of the display color of the notice pending image is determined based on the change timing determination random number and the change timing table. Then, the hold notice effect determined by the peripheral control MPU in response to the game ball entering the start opening changes the display color of the notice hold image by an operation on the upper plate effect button 257 by the player's operation. In this case, after the effect has been determined, the change timing of the notice suspension image is determined from the change timing determination random number extracted by the change timing determination random number extraction unit and the change timing table. .

  Next, change timing determination random numbers will be described with reference to FIG. The random number for determining the change timing in this example is set so as to determine which notice color change timing pattern of the notice pending image is to be executed. For example, 100 types of variable random numbers are set as determination values (0 to 99) indicating that any one of the change timing patterns of the notice pending image is to be executed, and 50 types of variable random numbers are used as the upper plate effect. After a pressing operation on the button 257, it is set as a determination value indicating that an immediate change pattern in which the display color of the notice hold image changes at an immediate timing (0 to 49). After the pressing operation on 257, it is set as a determination value indicating that the change pattern of 1 second after the display color of the preliminary announcement hold image is changed 1 second later (50 to 79), and 20 types of variable random numbers are Judgment indicating execution of a change pattern after 2 seconds in which the display color of the notice hold image changes at the timing after 2 seconds after the pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257 It is set as (80-99).

  Further, as a trigger for determining the timing at which the display color of the notice hold image changes after the pressing operation is performed on the upper plate effect button 257 in the hold notice effect, the display position of the notice hold image is, for example, the fourth hold. When shifting from the position to the third hold position, the change timing determining random number extraction unit may extract a change timing determining random number, and may determine the timing at which the display color of the advance notice pending image changes. When the change mode of the suspension in which the change is performed when the display position of the advance notice image is shifted is the change with the reach, the change timing determination random number extraction means triggered by the change with the reach being performed. It is also possible to extract a change timing determination random number and determine the timing at which the display color of the advance notice pending image changes, and various timings may be used. It can be selected.

  In addition, the change timing pattern of the display color of the notice hold image in the hold notice effect last performed during the game is an immediate change pattern, and the change timing pattern of the notice hold image selected next is also the immediate change pattern. In such a case, the player cannot notice that there are a plurality of types of change timing patterns of the notice hold image, and the change pattern of the notice hold image after pressing the upper plate effect button 257 changes immediately. Since there is a risk that the pattern will be considered only and the interest to the game may be reduced, in this example, a timing pattern different from the change timing pattern of the last notice holding image is selected. It has become.

  Further, for example, when an immediate change pattern is selected as the change timing pattern of the last notice pending image, the change timing pattern to be selected next is either a change pattern after 1 second or a change pattern after 2 seconds. When the change pattern after 1 second is selected, either the immediate change pattern or the change pattern after 2 seconds is selected as the next change timing pattern. When the change pattern after 2 seconds is selected, the immediate change pattern or the change pattern after 1 second is selected as the next change timing pattern to be selected. As a result, since a change timing pattern different from the change timing pattern selected last is selected, it is possible to prevent the same change timing pattern from being continuously selected, thereby suppressing a decrease in interest for the game. be able to.

Next, the flow of pending notification effect in this example will be described using FIG.
FIG. 203 shows an example of the flow of pending notice effects, and this example is a series of pending notice effects comparing the case where the one-second change effect is selected and the case where the immediate change effect is selected. Is a diagram showing the flow of (A) shows a state in which it is notified that the hold preview effect is performed in the third hold image, and (B) is a display of the preview hold image by the operation on the third upper dish effect button 257. It indicates that the color is changing, indicating that the operation request effect is being performed, and (C-1) indicates that the operation on the upper tray effect button 257 is performed when the immediate change pattern is selected. The state immediately after is shown, (C-2) shows the state immediately after the operation on the upper dish effect button 257 when the change pattern after one second is selected, and (D) shows the state This shows the state after one second has elapsed since the operation of the upper dish effect button 257 in (C-2).

  As shown in (A), when it is determined by the peripheral control MPU that on-hold notification effect is to be performed on the on-hold image displayed at the third on-hold position, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 And display an image with an arrow and “Colle !!” in the vicinity of the hold image (preliminary hold image) displayed at the third hold position. The player is notified and recognized that the hold notice effect will be performed.

  Next, as shown in (B), the central LCD display 1500 displays an image “When the button is pressed, the color of the hold changes?” And an image simulating the upper plate effect button 257 are displayed. An image prompting an operation on 257 is displayed (operation request effect). Thereby, the player recognizes that the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is effective, and further, when the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed, the display color of the notice hold image changes, and something can be obtained. It can remind you that you might get up.

  Then, for example, when the immediate change pattern is selected by the peripheral control MPU, as shown in (C-1), a notice is given immediately after pressing the upper dish effect button 257 in response to the operation request effect. In this example, the display color of the hold image is changed to “green” and displayed. Further, when the display pattern after one second is selected by the peripheral control MPU, as shown in (C-2), even if the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed in response to the operation request effect, the advance notice image The display color of is displayed as “blue” without being changed.

  Next to (C-2), when one second has elapsed since the upper plate effect button 257 was pressed, the display is changed to “green” as shown in (D).

As described above, when the immediate change pattern is selected, the preview pending image changes immediately after the operation on the upper plate effect button 257. When the change pattern after one second is selected, the upper plate effect button 257. By providing a plurality of change timing patterns in which the display color of the advance notice pending image does not change as “blue” immediately after performing the operation for, and the advance notice pending image changes after 1 second, for example, an immediate change pattern When is selected, it is possible to immediately know the result of the change of the preview image immediately after pressing the upper dish effect button 257, and the change pattern after 1 second or the change pattern after 2 seconds is selected. If you do, you may think that the display color of the preview image will not change once, but the display color of the preview image will change due to the time difference. Can be pounding excitement to the announcement attraction, it becomes possible to increase the interest in the game.
The peripheral control MPU determines what color the reserved image changes from “blue” to the reserved image after pressing the upper dish effect button 257.

[Variation 1 of hold notice effect]
In the on-hold notice effect in this embodiment, the lottery ratio of the change timing pattern of the on-hold image is changed according to the number of rounds when the advantageous game state (for example, big hit) is drawn by the main control board. This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 204 is a change timing table showing a change timing pattern of the preview hold image for each number of rounds when the jackpot is drawn. (A) is a change timing table that is selected when a 15-round jackpot is drawn, (b) is a change timing table that is selected when a 8-round jackpot is drawn, and (c) is 2 It is a change timing table selected when a round big hit is drawn.

  When a 15-round jackpot is drawn by the main control board, as shown in FIG. 204 (a), 80 types of variable random numbers among the random numbers are suspended immediately after pressing the upper plate effect button 257. It is set as a judgment value indicating that the display color change of the image is to be performed is executed (0 to 79), and 10 kinds of variable random numbers are the timing one second after the pressing operation on the upper dish effect button 257 Is set as a determination value indicating that the display color change of the advance notice reserved image is to be performed after one second (80 to 89), and ten kinds of variable random numbers are displayed after pressing the upper dish effect button 257. It is set as a determination value indicating that the change pattern after 2 seconds in which the display color change of the notice hold image is performed at the timing after 2 seconds (90 to 99).

  When eight rounds of big hits are drawn by the main control board, as shown in FIG. 204 (b), 10 types of variable random numbers among the variable random numbers are held for immediate notice at the immediate timing after pressing the upper plate effect button 257. It is set as a determination value indicating that an immediate change pattern in which the display color of the image is changed is executed (0 to 9), and 80 kinds of variable random numbers are timings after one second after pressing the upper plate effect button 257. Is set as a determination value indicating execution of a change pattern after one second in which the display color change of the advance notice reserved image is performed (10 to 89), and ten kinds of variable random numbers are operated after pressing the upper dish effect button 257 It is set as a determination value indicating that the change pattern after 2 seconds in which the display color change of the notice hold image is performed at the timing after 2 seconds (90 to 99).

  When two rounds of big hit are drawn by the main control board, as shown in FIG. 204 (c), 10 kinds of variable random numbers among the variable random numbers are held for immediate notice at the immediate timing after pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257 It is set as a judgment value indicating that the display color change of the image is to be performed is executed (0 to 9), and ten kinds of variable random numbers are one second after the pressing operation on the upper dish effect button 257, a timing after one second Is set as a judgment value indicating execution of a change pattern after one second in which the display color change of the advance notice reserved image is performed (10 to 19), and 80 kinds of variable random numbers are operated after pressing the upper dish effect button 257 It is set as a determination value indicating that the change pattern after 2 seconds in which the display color change of the notice hold image is performed at the timing after 2 seconds (20 to 99).

  According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the number of rounds related to the jackpot can be predicted to some extent by the notice pending image change timing pattern after the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed. For example, if the display color of the preview image is changed immediately after pressing the upper dish effect button 257, the player recalls that the 15 round jackpot arrives with high probability, and presses the upper dish effect button 257. If the display color of the notice-pending image changes after 2 seconds, the player recalls that a two-round jackpot has a high probability. Thereby, the player can be relieved by the change timing pattern of the notice suspension image, and the interest in the game can be improved.

[Other variations of the notice effect]
The notice effect described above is to change the display color of the notice hold image in response to the operation of the upper dish effect button 257, and further prepare a plurality of timings at which the display color of the notice hold image changes. In the present example, the advance notice effect in the present example is not the one using the hold image, and in a state where there are a plurality of hold, for example, a change currently performed (hereinafter referred to as the change). The effect game in which the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is performed by the effect in), and the operation is performed on the upper plate effect button 257 by the player, the variation is performed after the change (predictive change) This is to perform advance notice variation presentation that can change the presentation mode. Hereinafter, the flow of a series of effects will be described using FIG.

  FIG. 205 shows a series of flows in the notice variation effect in this example. (A) shows a state in which a variation effect of a change digested before the subject change is shown, (B) shows a state in which an operation request effect is being performed, and (C-1) (B) shows a state after the operation on the upper dish effect button 257 is not performed when the operation request effect is performed in (B), and (C-2) is when the operation request effect is performed in (B) The state after operating the upper plate effect button 257 is shown, (D-1) shows the state after the change of the change after (C-1), and (D-2 ) Shows a state where the fluctuation of the fluctuation has ended after (C-2), and (E-1) shows an effect mode of the preliminary change effect performed after (D-1), (E-2) shows a state in which the notice variation effect is started after (D-2), and (F) shows the state of (E-2). It shows the representation embodiment of the announcement variation effect that takes place.

For example, if the change pending at the first hold position is the change to be notified, as shown in (A), when the change before notice is being made, the player is notified to the player as shown in (B) By performing an effect requesting an operation to the upper plate effect button 257 (operation request effect), it is notified that the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is effective. If the player does not press the upper plate effect button 257 according to the operation request effect at that time, the process branches to (C-1). As shown in (C-1), in (B), since the pressing operation on the upper dish effect button 257 is not performed by the player, the transition to (D-1) is made without performing effects other than the fluctuation display of the symbol. . Next, as shown in (D-1), the fluctuation ends. As shown in (E-1) after that, the effect mode of the notice change effect is the same effect mode as the change effect mode performed before.
Conversely, when the player performs the pressing operation on the upper dish effect button 257 in (B), as shown in (C-2), an image simulating a ladybird appears on the central liquid crystal display device, and An effect of flying around is performed, and it shifts to (D-2). Next, as shown in (D-2), the variation ends. After that, as shown in (E-2), an image imitating a ladybird is displayed again based on the start of the change in the advance notice subject change, and then, as shown in (F), the advance change effect mode. However, unlike the variation presentation mode performed previously, the display mode of the variation symbol is changed and displayed. Accordingly, when the player presses the upper plate effect button 257, it is possible to evoke the idea that something good may happen, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  In addition, the effect mode displayed in (F), which is different from the change effect mode performed before the advance target change, is determined by the main control MPU whether or not the lottery result of the advance target change will be in the specific gaming state It is assumed that the aspect of the variation symbol is changed after the determination in advance.

  For example, after the player performs an operation on the upper plate effect button 257 at the time of (B) and an effect using an image imitating a ladybird is performed at the next point (C-2), (D-2) If the lottery result of the change is out of the case, the player is discouraged and will have anticipation for the change to be made in advance. Then, in (E-2), an effect using an image simulating a ladybird is performed again, and in (F), the mode of the notice variation effect is different from the previous one (in this example, the appearance of the variation symbol is different). Therefore, the player has a high expectation with respect to the change subject to the notice because the result of the lottery of the change made previously may have been out of order. At this time, if the lottery result of the change subject to advance notice is, for example, out of place, the player will be further discouraged, and the interest in the game will be greatly reduced as much as expected. If the lottery result of the performance is a big hit, it will be disappointing at the time of (D-2) by changing the mode of the notice variation effect, but it will be discouraged when the result of the subject change is witnessed. As a result, the joy of winning the jackpot has increased, and the interest in games can be greatly improved.

  As described above, according to this example, when an effect game for performing an operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is performed in an effect in the change, and when an operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is performed by the player, an object to be notified Since the effect mode changes when the change becomes the change, it is possible to entertain various variations of the notice change effect, and it is possible to enhance the interest in the game.

  In addition, in the operation request effect displayed in (B) of FIG. 205, when the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed, the symbol display of the out is displayed even if the result of the change is out. Since the change mode of the notice change effect changes at the stage (D) based on the fact, it is possible to have a new hope for the jackpot, and to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  Furthermore, by displaying the image imitating the ladybird displayed in (C-2) again in (E-2), by operating the upper plate effect button 257 in the stage (F), It is possible to make the player notice that the display mode of the advance variation fluctuation effect has been changed by the operation, and it is possible to recall that the operation with the upper plate effect button 257 has contributed the effect with high reliability to the jackpot. Interest in

Further, in this example, although the description has been made assuming that the presentation mode of the advance notice variation effect in the advance notice change is changed without using the hold image, the display color of the hold image of the advance notice change performed after the change is changed. It is good also as composition.
Thereby, even if the result of the change is out, if there is a change with a high degree of expectation above a certain level in the hold, if the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed at the stage of (B), the change In accordance with the stop of the symbol variation, the display color of the reserve image of the variation with high expectation is changed. Thereby, although it is discouraged once with respect to the result of the change, it is possible to give a new expectation to the notice target change, and therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.
When the upper dish effect button 257 is not pressed in the step (B), the display color of the suspension image of the forecasted variation does not change, and therefore, the variation of the expectation is high among the suspended variations. Since there is no change in the hold color even if there is, the player does not notice that the high expectation fluctuation is held.

In addition, when the result of the change is a big hit, if the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed at the stage of (B), the degree of expectation of the pattern change is high, and the degree of expectation is high. The display color of the fluctuating reserved image is changed. As a result, in addition to the pleasure that the change has become a big hit, it is possible to expect also the change to be predicted, so it is possible to wish to further improve the interest in the game.
When the upper dish effect button 257 is not pressed in the step (B), the display color of the suspension image of the forecasted variation does not change, and therefore, the variation of the expectation is high among the suspended variations. Since there is no change in the hold color even if there is, the player does not notice that the high expectation fluctuation is held.

  Thereby, the player can feel an increase in the expectation level for the jackpot game by performing the pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257, and can also know the expectation level in the reserved memory of the variation. In particular, if the lottery result of the change is disappointing, if there is a hold with high expectation within the hold, even if the lottery result of the change is lost and discouraged, there may be expectations for further fluctuation. Since it can, it can suppress the decline of the game entertainment.

  Further, in the notice variation effect in this example, it has been described as changing the display form of the change symbol. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the background image of the notice variation effect is changed, the contents of the effect game It is possible to select various production modes, for example, by changing or changing to a so-called prefetch zone.

  In this example, although the previous change of the change for notice is described as the change before notice, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the change for the second change or the third before the change for change may be announced. It is good also as pre-variation and shall be able to choose suitably.

  In this embodiment, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2002 are until the special drawing result drawn from the start of the special drawing is suggested by the reception of the game balls to the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004. When a game ball is accepted at the second start opening 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started, so the suggestion of the special lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. The The number of pending special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening 2004, and for more than that, the first starting opening 2002 and the second starting opening Even if the game ball is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is discarded without being put on hold. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the game hall side by accumulating the hold.

  This special lottery result is suggested by the function display unit 1400 and the central liquid crystal display device 1500. In the function display unit 1400, a special lottery result is suggested under direct control by the main control board. The suggestion of the special lottery result on the function display unit 1400 (the first special symbol display, the second special symbol display) is to turn on / off the LED for a predetermined time, and then turn on Suggest a special lottery result by the combination of

  On the other hand, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board based on a control signal from the main control board and suggests a special lottery result as an effect image. The effect image suggesting the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 is displayed in a variable manner by changing each symbol row in a state where three symbol rows composed of a plurality of decorative symbols are displayed side by side in the horizontal direction. The symbol strings are sequentially stopped and displayed, and the symbol strings are stopped and displayed so that the decorative symbols of the three symbol strings to be stopped and displayed have a combination corresponding to the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than “losing”, after the three symbol rows are stopped and the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed, a final image indicating the special lottery result is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500, and the lottery An advantageous gaming state (for example, a small hit game, a big hit game, etc.) according to the special lottery result is generated.

  In addition, the time which suggests the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (flashing time of LED (variation time)) and the time which suggests the special lottery result in the central liquid crystal display device 1500 (the symbol row fluctuates and the determined image The time until the function display unit 1400 is set to be shorter.

  Further, in the peripheral control board, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the central liquid crystal display device 1500, according to the drawn special lottery result, the on-surface movable effect unit 2560, the out-of-table movable effect Unit 2570, back-up movable effect unit 3100, back-front movable effect unit 3200, back-right movable effect unit 3300, back-left movable effect unit 3400, back-back movable effect unit 3500, back four corner movable effect unit 3600, etc. The movable effect is appropriately performed to perform the player effect, and the player can be entertained even by the movable effect, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest in the game.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when it becomes possible to receive the game ball to the upper large winning opening 2006, the back right rotation decoration 3310 of the back right movable effect unit 3300 in the back unit 3000 is rotated. When the third decorative surface 3310c is directed to the front (front), the rear discharge port 2554 of the rear guiding path 2553 through which the gaming balls received in the upper large winning opening 2006 flow and the back right ball inlet 3320 coincide. State (see FIG. 175). In this state, when a game ball is received at the upper prize winning opening 2006, the ball guide member that enters the back right ball entrance 3320 from the rear discharge port 2554 of the rear guide path 2553 and is arranged in the back right effect space 3321. Due to 3322, it flows down while rotating a plurality of times (here, 8 times) in a spiral around an axis extending up and down in the back right rendering space 3321 (see FIG. 175A).

  As a result, the game ball received in the upper prize winning opening 2006 can be spiraled down in the back right effect space 3321, so that the player can surely see the game ball accepted in the upper prize winning opening 2006. It is possible to increase the sense of expectation for paying out the game ball by accepting the game ball at the upper prize opening 2006 and to entertain the player with the game ball flowing down in a spiral shape. Can be suppressed. In addition, since the ball guiding member 3322 is disposed adjacent to the central liquid crystal display device 1500, the gaming ball flows down the ball guiding member 3322 to the player who is paying attention to the effect image displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. You can easily recognize what you are doing. In this example, the ball guiding member 3322 is disposed adjacent to the central liquid crystal display device 1500. However, a part or all of the ball guiding member 3322 is disposed so as to overlap with the central liquid crystal display device 1500 The guiding member 3322 may easily recognize that the gaming ball is flowing down. Further, in this case, the ball guiding member 3322 can be formed of a transparent member that allows the back to be viewed, so that the viewing of the effect image displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500 can be prevented.

  When the upper large winning opening 2006 is in the open state, the rear discharge port 2554 of the rear guiding path 2553 is the first decorative surface 3310a when the back decoration other than the third decorative surface 3310c is facing forward in the back right rotation decorative body 3310. And the game ball received by the upper large winning opening 2006 enters the escape passage 2555 branched near the rear end of the rear guide passage 2553 and is released because it is closed by the outer peripheral surface of the second decorative surface 3310 b. It is discharged downward through the passage 2555. By this, when the upper large winning a prize opening 2006 becomes acceptable, the effect using the back right effect space 3321 of the back right movable effect unit 3300 is performed, or the effect not using the back right effect space 3321 is performed. It is possible to present a variety of variations to the player and entertain them. In addition, even if the back right rotation decorative body 3310 can not turn the third decorative surface 3310 c forward for any reason, the gaming ball accepted by the upper winning prize opening 2006 is stuck in the rear guiding path 2553. Can continue the game without any problems.

[10. Fast digestion of jackpot games]
In the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to digest a predetermined number of rounds of the big hit game in a short time than the conventional gaming machine in which the big winning opening is arranged near the lower end of the gaming area 5a. The details will be described below.

  As described above, when the ball launcher 680 strikes the upper part of the center role 2500 in the game area 5a with a strike strength equal to or greater than a predetermined strike strength, the front peripheral wall 2512 of the center finish 2500 The gaming ball that has entered the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface abuts on the stopper 1006 and its momentum is weakened, and then enters the upper gaming space 2541 from the upper right entrance.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 176, the upper right entrance extends vertically with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball, so that the game ball abutted against the stopper 1006 and weakened its momentum is rolled by the upper right entrance. The movement direction is restricted and it will drop directly below.

  In the state where the upper prize winning opening 2006 is opened, the upper end of the upper prize winning opening door member 2550 is made higher than the lower end, so that the game ball abutting on the upper prize winning opening door member 2550 can be raised with a very high probability. In addition to receiving the winning prize opening 2006, the upper winning prize opening door member 2550 is rotated so that the upper end of the upper winning prize opening door member 2550 is located to the right of the front view from the upper right entrance.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, no obstacle nail is planted in the upper game space 2541, so that the game ball falling from the upper right entrance comes into contact with the upper prize winning opening door member 2550 with a very high probability. Therefore, the game ball that has entered the right side of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center accessory 2500 and has fallen from the upper right entrance with the upper university winning opening 2006 opened is extremely It is accepted with a high probability in the top prize winning opening 2006.

  As described above, in order to arrange the upper large winning opening 2006 near the upper right end of the game area 5a, the game area 5a is driven more than the conventional gaming machine in which the large winning opening is arranged near the lower end of the game area 5a. The moving distance until the game ball is received by the upper prize winning opening 2006 is shortened, and the game ball entering the right side of the highest part of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall 2512 of the center character 2500 is extremely Since the ball winning device 2006 is received with a high probability, the period from when the ball launching device 680 hits the game ball into the game area 5a until the game ball is received in the game winning port 2006 can be shortened. As a result, a predetermined number of rounds of the big hit game can be digested in a shorter time than the conventional gaming machine in which the big winning opening is arranged near the lower end of the gaming area 5a.

  Further, a game ball that is placed with a driving strength higher than a predetermined driving strength by the ball launching device 680 by placing the upper university winning opening 2006 in the vicinity of the upper right end of the gaming area 5a is placed in the hitting portion 1006. Since it is possible to roll along the inside of the outer rail 1001 and enter the upper large winning opening 2006 without coming into contact with obstacles such as obstacle nails until it comes into contact, the game ball that has been driven must be Since the ball rolls at a constant speed or more, the period from when at least the ball launcher 680 strikes the gaming ball into the gaming area 5a to when the gaming ball abuts against the stopper 1006 can be shortened. That is, the ball launching device 680 has a game area compared to a case where a game ball is driven with a driving strength less than a predetermined driving strength so as to be able to enter the upper prize opening 2006. It is possible to shorten the period from when the game ball is hit into 5a to when the game ball is received in the upper large winning opening 2006.

  In other words, when the upper prize winning opening 2006 is arranged near the upper left end of the game area 5a and the game ball is driven by the ball launcher 680 with a driving strength less than the predetermined driving strength, Compared to the case where it is possible to enter the upper university winning opening 2006, the upper university winning opening 2006 is arranged near the upper right end of the game area 5a and the ball launcher 680 has a predetermined driving strength or more. Since the game ball is configured to be able to enter the upper prize winning opening 2006 when the game ball is driven with the driving strength of the ball, the rolling speed of the game ball is increased. Can shorten the period from when a game ball is hit into the game area 5a until the game ball is received at the upper prize winning opening 2006, and a predetermined number of rounds of the big hit game can be digested in a short time. .

  In addition, since the ball launcher 680 is designed to strike one game ball about every 0.6 seconds, for example, the time required to strike 10 game balls is 6 seconds. In addition, as described above, the game ball that has been driven by the ball launching device 680 with a driving strength that is equal to or greater than the predetermined driving strength is in contact with an obstacle such as an obstacle nail until it comes into contact with the stop portion 1006. In order to roll along the inner side of the outer rail 1001, the ball launcher 680 drives the gaming ball with a hitting strength equal to or greater than a predetermined hitting strength and enters the game area 5a before winning a big prize. The period until it is received in the mouth 2006 is extremely short (about 1 second).

  That is, the period from when the top prize winning opening door member 2550 is opened in one round in the big hit game until the ten game balls are received at the top prize winning opening 2006 is about half that of the conventional gaming machine. The period is about 7 to 8 seconds, and the interval period between the rounds (the period from closing the top prize winning opening 2006 to opening again) is shorter than the conventional gaming machine (about 2.0 seconds). Since it is about 0.6 seconds, if it is a 15-round jackpot game, it will be finished in about 113.4 seconds to 128.4 seconds.

  In this way, the pachinko machine 1 of this example can shorten the time required for the big hit game as compared with the conventional gaming machine, so it is executed per unit time by the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display. The number of executions (variable display times) of the variable display of the possible symbols (the first special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display and the second special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display) It can be increased more than gaming machines, and a decrease in gaming interest can be suppressed by increasing the chances of generating big hits. In addition, since the execution period of the jackpot game executed on the conventional gaming machine can be shortened to about half, the jackpot game itself can be interested, and the decrease in the game entertainment interest can be suppressed.

  Further, as described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the gaming ball received in the upper large winning opening 2006 enters the back right ball entrance 3320 from the back discharge port 2554 of the back guiding path 2553, and the back right presentation space The ball guide member 3322 arranged at 3321 flows down while rotating around the axis extending vertically in the back right effect space 3321 a plurality of times (here, 8 times) (see FIG. 175 (a)). ). As shown in FIG. 175 (a), the game ball flowing down the ball guiding member 3322 can be visually recognized in a fragmentary manner by the player. It takes about 2 seconds until the game ball flowing down the ball guiding member 3322 is discharged from the discharge port 3303a of the lower right base 3303 and is difficult for the player to see. As described above, the period from the game ball being driven by the ball launcher 680 with a hitting strength of a predetermined hitting strength or more and entering the game area 5a to being accepted by the upper large winning opening 2006 is 1 Since it is about seconds, the period from the game ball being accepted by the upper winning opening 2006 to the time it is accepted by the upper winning opening 2006 after the game ball is hit by the ball launcher 680 is the back lower right base 3303 It is shorter than a period until it becomes difficult for the player to visually recognize from the discharge port 3303a.

  As described above, not only rolling of the gaming balls in the gaming area 5a to which the player pays attention, but also the gaming balls accepted in the large winning opening 2006 which are not paying attention normally are rolled in a complicated manner and discharged. It is possible to make the player pay attention to the game by extending the period until the game is received, and by being accepted by the upper prize winning opening 2006, the so-called dead game ball is effectively used to suppress the decline in the game entertaining be able to. In addition, since the period from the game ball being hit by the ball firing device 680 to being accepted by the upper large winning opening 2006 is short, the player hardly sees the hit game ball, and the game ball is smoothly hit. You may feel uneasy about what is going on, but game balls are steadily driven by increasing the period until the game balls received at the upper prize opening 2006 are rolled in a complex manner and discharged. It is possible to reassure the player that he / she is confused. Also, the period from when a game ball is struck by the ball launcher 680 to when it is received at the upper prize winning opening 2006, after the game ball is received at the upper prize winning opening 2006, the outlet 3303a of the lower right base 3303 It is possible to direct the player's attention to the game ball received in the upper prize winning opening 2006 by making it shorter than the period until it is difficult to see from the player.

[11. Characteristic effects of the present embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball is hit in the game area 5a to change the game state, the back up drive motor of the back up movable effect unit 3100 according to the changed game state. The 3103 rotates. When the back upper drive motor 3103 rotates, the first transmission member 3107 and the second transmission member 3108 attached to the unit base 3101 rotate together with the back upper drive motor 3103. Then, when the first transmission member 3107 is rotated to enter the first specific rotation range from one range end of the first specific rotation range, the rotation of the first transmission member 3107 is transmitted to the first power receiving member 3117 Thus, the first transmitted member 3117 rotates. When the first member to be transferred 3117 rotates, the first movable base 3116 is opposed to the proximal end which is one of the ends of the first movable range extending in the direction parallel to the plane of the game panel 1100. That is, it slides from the retracted position of the upper end toward the first emerging position below. Since the back upper decorative body 3152 is attached to the first movable base 3116 via the second movable base 3119, the back upper decorative body 3152 moves downward as the first movable base 3116 slides. It becomes. Thereafter, the first transmission member 3107 is rotated to reach the opposite range end of the first specific rotation range, and at the same time, the first movable base 3116 reaches the other end of the first movable range, that is, the falling end. Furthermore, when the first transmission member 3107 leaves the first specific rotation range, the first movable base 3116 stops moving at the lowering end. Although the second transmission member 3108 is rotating even while the first transmission member 3107 is rotating, the second transmission member 3108 is not within the second specific rotation range. Does not cause the second movable base 3119 to slide relative to the first movable base 3116.

  A second movable base drive member 3124 to which rotation from the second transmission member 3108 is transmitted is rotatably attached to the first movable base 3116. Since the second movable base drive member 3124 is slidably attached to the rotation link member 3123 in the direction (second direction) in which the second transmission guide 3123 d extends, when the first movable base 3116 slides, The rotary link member 3123 and the second movable base drive member 3124 rotate so that the second direction is parallel to the moving direction of the first movable base 3116, and the second movable base drive member 3124 rotates on the rotary link member 3123. It slides relative to the second direction. At this time, when the second movable base drive member 3124 is rotated, the second movable base 3119 slides relative to the first movable base 3116 as much as the second movable base drive member 3124 is rotated, and the back top decoration 3152 is The second movable base 3119 moves slightly in the moving direction. However, when the second direction becomes parallel to the moving direction of the first movable base 3116, the rotation of the second movable base drive member 3124 stops, and the first The movement of the back decoration 3152 relative to the movable base 3116 also stops. Since the moving direction of the second movable base 3119 is the same as the moving direction of the first movable base 3116, even if the second movable base 3119 slides slightly due to the rotation of the second movable base drive member 3124, The player is not noticed and the back decorative body 3152 can be moved without a sense of incongruity. In the first state, when the second direction is parallel to the moving direction of the first movable base 3116, the rotating link member 3123 and the second movable base driving member 3124 do not rotate, and the second movable base is not rotated. 3119 does not slide relatively.

  Subsequently, the first transmission member 3107 is separated from the first specific rotation range by the rotation of the back upper drive motor 3103, and the first transmission member 3107 and the second transmission member 3108 are further rotated, and the second transmission member 3108 is When one range end of the second specific rotation range enters the second specific rotation range, the rotation of the second transmission member 3108 is transmitted to the second driven member 3122 and the second driven member 3122 starts rotating. To do. When the second driven member 3122 is rotated, the rotational link member 3123 is moved to the second driven member 3122 via a portion slidably mounted in the extending direction (first direction) of the first transfer guide portion 3122e. Will revolve around the When the rotary link member 3123 revolves, the extending direction in the second direction tends to rotate. Then, when the orientation in the second direction (rotating link member 3123) tries to rotate, the rotating link is such that the reaction force from the part where the second movable base drive member 3124 is slidably attached in the second direction is reduced. The second movable base drive member 3124 is rotated while the member 3123 slides along the first direction and the second direction, and the rotation from the second transmission member 3108 can be performed by the second driven member 3122 and the rotation link. It can be transmitted to the second movable base drive member 3124 via the member 3123.

By transmitting the rotation to the second movable base drive member 3124, the second movable base 3119 is connected to the first movable base 3116 from the base end (upper end) which is one of the two ends of the second movable range. It slides downward in the same direction as the moving direction of the first movable base 3116 toward the opposite end (lower end) side. Accordingly, the back decorative body 3152 attached to the second movable base 3119 also moves downward together with the second movable base 3119.
Thereafter, at the same time as the second transmission member 3108 is rotated to reach the opposite range end of the second specific rotation range, the second movable base 3119 is at the tip (second emerging position) opposite to the second movable range. When the second transfer member 3108 reaches the position and the second transfer member 3108 rotates away from the second specific rotation range, the second movable base 3119 stops moving at the tip of the second movable range.

  When the second movable base 3119 slides relative to the first movable base 3116, a rack on which the decorative body rotary gear 3120 rotatably attached to the second movable base 3119 is attached to the first movable base 3116 It moves while rotating along the rack gear 3115 a of the member 3115. Since the back upper decorative body 3152 is attached to the decorative body rotating gear 3120, when the second movable base 3119 is slid, the back upper decorative body 3152 rotates and moves downward together with the second movable base 3119. It becomes.

  In this state, by reversely rotating the backside drive motor 3103, the second movable base 3119 and the first movable base 3116, that is, the backside decorative body 3152 are moved in the initial state by performing the reverse movement to the above. Can be returned to.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the first movable base 3116 and the second movable base 3119 can be separately moved, movement to move in two steps is given to the back top decorative body 3152. It is possible to make the back surface decoration 3152 complex movements. In addition, as the movable effect of the back surface decoration body 3152, the pattern of the movable effect is diversified by moving only the first movable base 3116 or moving the second movable base 3119 after the first movable base 3116 is moved. Therefore, it is possible to make the moving effect of the backside decorative body 3152 hard to get tired of, and to make the player entertained and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, when the second movable base 3119 is slid, the back upper decorative body 3152 rotates downward and moves downward together with the second movable base 3119, thereby providing more colorful movement to the back upper decorative body 3152. It is possible to prevent the player from getting bored and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game.

  Furthermore, since the first movable base 3116 and the second movable base 3119 are slid in the same vertical direction, and the back upper decorative body 3152 can be moved in the same direction by a longer distance, the back upper decorative body The impact of the movable performance by 3152 can be increased, and the player can be entertained and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, after the rotation from the first transmission member 3107 is once transmitted to the first transmission member 3117, the first movable base 3116 is moved by the first transmission member 3117. The circumferential length of the first specific rotation range in the member 3107 can be amplified by the first power receiving member 3117, and the first movable range from the retracted position of the first movable base 3116 to the first appearance position can be made larger. The back decorative body 3152 that moves greatly can entertain the player and suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since it is possible to make the back top decoration body 3152 intricate movement with only one back top drive motor 3103, for example, another drive motor for moving the second movable base 3119 to the first movable base 3116 is to be provided. While the number of drive motors can be reduced compared to the case where the first movable base 3116 does not need to be equipped with a drive motor, the number of drive motors can be reduced, and the load for controlling the movable effect can be reduced. The load (weight) acting on one movable base 3116 can be reduced. Further, since it is not necessary to provide the first movable base 3116 with a drive motor for the second movable base 3119, the back decorative body 3152 can be made larger (heavy) by the weight of the drive motor. The impact on the player can be increased by the complicated movement of the back upper decorative body 3152, and something can be done to the player by the complicated movement of the large back upper decorative body 3152 in two stages. It can be made to think that there is a good thing, and the expectation for the game can be enhanced to suppress the decrease in interest.

[Movable timing of movable role]
In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform an effect of movably controlling various decoration bodies (hereinafter referred to as movable role objects) movably controlled by the peripheral control MPU due to the operation of the upper dish effect button 257 It is supposed to be. Hereinafter, this will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  When the player operates the handle unit 500, the game ball is driven into the game area 5a, and when the game ball flowing down the game area 5a enters the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004, the main ball described above. Special lottery results for generating advantageous game states (for example, “big hit”, “medium hit”, “small hit”, “per probability fluctuation”, “per time reduction”, etc.) advantageous to the player on the control board A lottery or determination of a time (fluctuation time (for example, 5 to 360 seconds)) for suggesting a lottery result to a player is performed, and peripheral control is performed using these results as a determination result notification command and a fluctuation pattern command. The peripheral control MPU is output to the substrate, and based on these commands, the peripheral control MPU performs a variation effect using the central liquid crystal display device 1500 or a movable accessory.

  In the variation presentation of this example, after the operation request presentation for pressing the upper plate presentation button 257 is executed, the player responds to the operation request presentation and the pressing operation of the upper plate presentation button 257 is performed according to the operation. As a result, the player can feel as if the player is participating in the game by moving the movable object in various manners, thereby enhancing the interest in the game (hereinafter referred to as a participation-type movable object effect).

  In addition, although it demonstrates taking back-side movable presentation unit 3100 as an example in the participation type movable role production of this example, it does not limit to this, and front-side movable presentation unit 2560, front-side movable presentation unit 2570, the back. A participatory movable accessory effect is suitably used using the lower front movable effect unit 3200, the rear right movable effect unit 3300, the rear left movable effect unit 3400, the rear lower rear movable effect unit 3500, the back four corner movable effect unit 3600, and the like. Anyway.

Next, the participatory movable role effect presentation will be described with reference to FIGS.
The movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 in the participant type movable character effect is composed of an immediate movable pattern to be described later, a movable pattern after one second, and a movable pattern after two seconds, and FIG. Among the movable patterns of the back-up movable effect unit 3100, FIG. 192 is a time chart when the immediate movable pattern is selected. FIG. 192 shows the movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 in the participation type movable role effect presentation. FIG. 193 is a time chart when the movable pattern after one second is selected, which will be described later, and FIG. 193 is a movable pattern selected after two seconds out of the movable patterns of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 in the participation type movable role effect production It is a time chart of the case. FIG. 194 is a movable timing table showing a pattern of timing when the back-up movable effect unit 3100 moves.
In the time chart of FIG. 191, respective timings of (A) operation effective period, (B) operation request effect, (C) upper dish effect button operation detection, and (D) instantaneous movable pattern are shown, and FIG. In the time chart of FIG. 193, (A) operation valid period, (B) operation request effect, (C) upper dish effect button operation detection, (E) timing of a movable pattern after one second is shown in FIG. In the time chart of (A), the respective timings of (A) operation valid period, (B) operation request effect, (C) upper dish effect button operation detection, (F) two seconds after movable pattern are shown.

  In the case of the participation type movable role effect presentation, as shown in (A), the fluctuation presentation is started, and the point of time when the operation on the upper plate presentation button 257 becomes effective is invalidated in advance. As shown in (B), using the notification means such as the central liquid crystal display device 1500 and various speakers, an effect (operation request effect) for requesting the player to operate the upper plate effect button 257 is performed. Then, it is configured to notify that the operation to the upper dish effect button 257 is effective. Then, in response to the operation request effect, as shown in (C), when the player presses the upper plate effect button 257, the back movable effect unit 3100 is controlled to move. After pressing the upper dish effect button 257, the operation effective period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) end, and the back-up movable effect unit 3100 becomes movable, but the movement timing is (D) as shown in (D), the immediate movable pattern in which the movable control of the backside movable production unit 3100 is performed by pressing the upper plate effect button 257, and (7) as shown in (E). The movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 is performed after one second, and the movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 is displayed two seconds after pressing the upper dish effect button 257 as shown in (F). There are a movable pattern and the like after 2 seconds when the movable control is performed.

When the immediate movement pattern is selected, as shown in FIG. 191, when the operation effective period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, the upper tray effect button 257 is selected by the player. When the pressing operation is performed, the operation valid period and the operation request effect are turned off when the operation is detected, and thereafter, the back movable effect unit 3100 is controlled to be movable.
When the movable pattern after one second is selected, as shown in FIG. 192, when the operation effective period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, the upper tray is selected by the player. When the effect button 257 is pressed, the operation effective period and the operation request effect are turned off in response to the detection of the operation, and one second after the operation of the upper dish effect button 257 is detected, the back up movable effect unit 3100 is movably controlled.
When the movable pattern after 2 seconds is selected, as shown in FIG. 193, when the operation valid period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, the upper tray is selected by the player. When the effect button 257 is pressed, the operation effective period and the operation request effect are turned off in response to the detection of the operation, and two seconds after the operation of the upper dish effect button 257 is detected, the back up movable effect unit 3100 is movably controlled.
Thus, depending on which movable pattern is selected, the timing when the upside movable effect unit 3100 moves after the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed is different, so the upside movable effect unit 3100 is movable at which timing The throbbing feeling obtained by not knowing whether it is controlled increases, and it becomes possible to strengthen the impact in the participation type movable accessory production.

  In addition, in the participation-type movable accessory effect, the pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is performed even though the operation request effect that requires the player to operate the upper plate effect button 257 is executed in the operation request effect. If you do not press during the operable period to receive the, if the immediate movable pattern is selected, the back up movable effect unit 3100 is movably controlled immediately after the operation valid period is over, and the movable pattern after one second Is selected 1 second after the operation valid period ends, and if the movable pattern is selected after 2 seconds, 2 seconds after the operation valid period ends. The back movable production unit 3100 is controlled to move. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and after the operable period is over, the back movable production unit 3100 is operated at an appropriate timing. The Tsu door 3100 may be allowed to move. Alternatively, the back movable production unit 3100 may not be moved.

  Further, the peripheral control board is for determining timing for determining the timing at which the back movable movable effect unit 3100 moves as means for determining the timing at which the back movable movable effect unit 3100 moves in the participation-type movable accessory effect. A random number and a movable timing table are prepared in advance, and the production mode of the participation-type movable accessory effect is determined based on the random number for timing determination and the movable timing table. Then, according to the special lottery result drawn by the main control board, the back movable movable effect unit 3100 is movably controlled by the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 by the player's operation according to the effect pattern determined by the peripheral control MPU. In the case of an effect, after the effect is determined, the movable timing of the back movable effect unit 3100 is determined from the timing determination random number extracted by the timing determination random number extraction means and the movable timing table. It is.

  Next, timing determination random numbers will be described with reference to FIG. The timing determination random number in the present example is set so as to determine which participatory movable combination effect presentation is to be performed. For example, 100 types of variable random numbers are set as determination values (0 to 99) indicating that any one of the participation-type movable accessory effects is executed, and 60 types of variable random numbers are included in the upper plate effect button 257. Is set as a determination value indicating that an immediate movable pattern in which the movable control of the back movable effect unit 3100 is controlled at an immediate timing after the pressing operation is performed (0 to 59). After the pressing operation on the button 257, it is set as a determination value indicating that the movable pattern after 1 second in which the movable control of the back upper movable effect unit 3100 is performed at the timing after 1 second (60 to 84), and 15 types The variable random number is movable after 2 seconds when the movable control of the back movable effect unit 3100 is performed at a timing 2 seconds after the pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257. It is set as a determination value indicating performing a turn (85 to 99).

  In addition, as the timing for determining the movable timing of the back movable effect unit 3100 after the pressing operation is performed on the upper plate effect button 257 in the participation-type movable accessory effect, after the effect is determined by the peripheral control MPU. For example, according to the special lottery result drawn by the main control board, the effect pattern determined by the peripheral control MPU is changed to the back movable effect unit 3100 by the operation on the upper plate effect button 257 by the player's operation. If the effect is to be movably controlled, the effect is determined, and in response to the operation request effect instructing the player to press the upper plate effect button 257, the central liquid crystal display device 1500 etc. When the user presses the upper plate effect button 257, the timing determination random number extraction means extracts the timing determination random number. , It may be determined movable timing of the back on a movable direction unit 3100.

  Also, in the change timing pattern of the notice pending image, in this example, the probability that an immediate change pattern is selected is 50%, the probability that a change pattern after 1 second is selected is 30%, and the probability that a change pattern after 2 seconds is selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability that each movable pattern is selected may be changed as appropriate.

[Variations of participatory movable accessory production]
In addition, as a variation of the participation type movable role effect production, it is until when it is actually movably controlled whether the back-up movability effect unit 3100 is movably controlled at which timing after the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed. The player does not know, the variable display in the lottery result in which the participation type movable combination effect is selected is started, and when the upper dish effect button is pressed during the operation effective period, the back up movement is made to the player After suggesting that the effect unit 3100 does not move, the back movable effect unit 3100 may be controlled to move with a time difference. Hereinafter, this will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 195 shows the flow of an effect in which a movable pattern advance notice is performed when a movable character effect is selected after one second in the participation-type movable character effect. (A) is a participation-type movable character effect. The state where the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn earlier is shown, (B) shows the state where the participatory movable accessory effect is performed, and (C) shows the operation request effect. (D) shows a state of less than one second after the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed, and (E) shows one after the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed. This shows a state in which the second has passed and the back movable effect unit 3100 is exposed in front of the central liquid crystal display device 1500.

For example, when the movable pattern after one second is selected, the special lottery result in which the participation type movable role effect is selected is the suggestion of the special lottery result until the suggestion of the special lottery result drawn earlier is completed. The start is put on hold, and the hold display is performed on the central liquid crystal display 1500. Here, the normal hold display is H1, and the hold display of the participation type movable role effect is H2.
Suggestion of the special lottery result of H2 is started, an image imitating the upper dish effect button 257 is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500, an image of "PUSH !!" is displayed below it, and an operation request for prompting a pressing operation A presentation is performed. When an operation is performed on the upper plate effect button 257 in response to the operation request effect, a message image “Sorry!” Is displayed on the central liquid crystal display device 1500. By looking at this, the player ceases the desire for the back-up movable effect unit 3100 to move, but is discouraged for a while, but one second after the upper-plate effect button 257 is operated, the back-up movable effect is performed The unit 3100 is rotated and exposed to cover the central liquid crystal display 1500.

  As described above, after pressing the upper dish effect button 257, after suggesting that the back up movable effect unit 3100 does not move once to the player, the back up movable effect unit 3100 is movably controlled by a time difference. Therefore, although it is discouraged once, the interest can be improved again, the game can be excited, and the interest for the game can be improved.

  In addition, during the game, the movable pattern of the backside movable production unit 3100 in the last participation type movable effect production performed in the game is an immediate movable pattern, and then the backside movable of the participation type movable role production selected by lottery. If the movable pattern of the effect unit 3100 is also an immediate movable pattern, the player cannot recognize that there are a plurality of types of movable patterns of the backside movable effect unit 3100, and presses the upper plate effect button 257. In this example, since the movable pattern after pressing seems to be one pattern, there is a possibility that the impact of the movement of the backside movable production unit 3100 will not be felt and the interest in the game may be reduced. A movable pattern different from the movable pattern in the participatory movable character presentation performed in the above is selected.

  In addition, for example, when the immediate movable pattern is selected as the movable pattern in the last participation type movable character effect, the movable pattern to be selected next is either the movable pattern after 1 second or the movable pattern after 2 seconds. When the movable pattern after 1 second is selected, either the immediate movable pattern or the movable pattern after 2 seconds is selected as the next movable pattern to be selected. When the movable pattern after 2 seconds is selected, the immediate movable pattern or the movable pattern after 1 second is selected as the movable pattern to be selected next. As a result, since a movable pattern different from the movable pattern selected one time ago is selected, it is possible to prevent continuous viewing of the same movable pattern, and to suppress a drop in interest for the game. it can.

  Further, after performing the garbled effect, the back up movable effect unit 3100 may be movably controlled. For example, when the movable pattern is selected after 2 seconds, the back upper movable effect unit 3100 is temporarily vibrated immediately after the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed according to the operation request effect. The player sees the back up movable effect unit 3100 not displayed in front of the central liquid crystal display device 1500, and illusion that the back up movable effect unit 3100 seems to be moved while thinking that the back up movable effect unit 3100 is moved. Although disappointed, since the back movable production unit 3100 moves 2 seconds after the upper plate production button 257 is pressed, the interest can be improved again, and the excitement of the game can be enhanced.

  For example, when a movable pattern after 2 seconds is selected as one pattern of the above-mentioned effect, the back movable effect unit 3100 is temporarily vibrated immediately after the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed according to the operation request effect. The door lower right rendering unit 270 may be movably controlled after this. The player thinks that by moving the back-side movable effect unit 3100 temporarily, the player thinks that the back-side movable effect unit 3100 is moved, but two seconds after pressing the upper plate effect button 257, the door lower right effect unit 270 is controlled to move. Thereby, since a movable accessory different from the player's expectation is controlled, the player can be surprised and it is possible to enhance the interest in the participation-type movable accessory production.

  In the above description of this example, in the participatory movable accessory effect, if the upper plate effect button 257 is pressed during the operation valid period, the back movable effect unit 3100 is movable according to the selected movable pattern. Although it is controlled, it is not necessarily movable control. For example, if the effect game executed as a participable movable role effect is successful, the back up movable effect unit 3100 is movably controlled, and conversely, it fails. In other words, the back movable movable unit 3100 may not be movable. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 196 is a diagram showing a time chart when the effect game is successful, and FIG. 197 is a diagram showing a time chart when the effect game fails.

For example, as shown in FIG. 196, if the effect game to be successful is executed by the peripheral control board when the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) as the participation type movable role effect effect. As shown in (C), when the operation valid period of A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, when the operation to the upper dish effect button 257 by the player is detected 10 times, the effect game As a result, the operation effective period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) end, and as shown in (D), the back-up movable effect unit 3100 moves.
Also, as shown in FIG. 197, when the operation effective period of (A) and the operation request effect of (B) are in the on state, if the operation to the upper dish effect button 257 is less than 10 times, The back-up movable effect unit 3100 is configured not to move.

  In addition, in the participation type movable character effect, in this example, the probability that an immediate movable pattern is selected is 60%, the probability that a movable pattern is selected after 1 second is 25%, and the probability that a movable pattern is selected after 2 seconds is selected. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability that each movable pattern is selected may be changed as appropriate.

  Further, in this example, as an effect that the player can participate in, the movable accessory (here, the upper movable effect unit 3100 here) is movable after the operation means (here, the upper plate effect button 257) is operated by the player. By preparing multiple types of timing to be controlled, the timing at which the movable accessory related to the pressing of the operating means is controlled is not constant, and the feeling of throb that can be obtained by not knowing at which timing it is controlled is increased However, although the description of the participation-type movable actor production that can strengthen the impact in the production has been described, the production mode is not only the production using the movable actor, but after the player has operated the operation means As long as there are multiple types of timings for switching, in addition to the player-participation-type effects using the central liquid crystal display device 1500, Central may be a director of player participation type carried out in only the liquid crystal display device 1500.

  In this example, although the example which uses the operation means which can be pressed down like the upper dish effect button 257 for participation type movable combination effect production is shown, the operation means concerned is limited to the upper dish effect button 257 Instead, a touch panel 246 capable of a contact operation, a stick-type operation means that allows a player to perform a tilting operation, an operation means such as a rotary selector that allows a player to perform a rotation operation, and the like are used as appropriate. You may do it.

[Second embodiment of the movable timing of the movable accessory]
In the present embodiment, the participatory movable role effects are configured to change the lottery ratio of the movable pattern in the back side movable effect unit 3100 according to the number of rounds when the advantageous gaming state (for example, big hit) is drawn by the main control board And This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 198 is a movable timing table showing a timing pattern in which the back movable production unit 3100 is movable for each number of rounds when a big hit is drawn. (A) is a movable timing table that is selected when a 15-round jackpot is drawn, (b) is a movable timing table that is selected when a 8-round jackpot is drawn, and (c) is 2 It is a movable timing table selected when a round big hit is drawn.

  When a 15-round jackpot is drawn by the main control board, as shown in FIG. 198 (a), 80 types of variable random numbers are displayed immediately after pressing the upper plate effect button 257. It is set as a determination value indicating that an immediate movable pattern in which the movable control of the movable effect unit 3100 is controlled is executed (0 to 79), and after 10 seconds, 10 types of variable random numbers are pressed against the upper plate effect button 257. Is set as a determination value indicating that the movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 is to be performed after one second is performed (80 to 89), and 10 types of variable random numbers are generated for the upper plate effect button 257. Indicates that a movable pattern after 2 seconds in which the movable control of the back movable movable effect unit 3100 is performed at a timing after 2 seconds after the pressing operation is performed. It is set as the value (90 to 99).

  When an eight round big hit is drawn by the main control board, as shown in FIG. 198 (b), ten kinds of variable random numbers among the variable random numbers are back-up at an immediate timing after pressing operation on the upper dish effect button 257. It is set as a determination value indicating that an immediate movable pattern in which the movable control of the movable effect unit 3100 is controlled is executed (0 to 9), and after one second after the pressing operation on the upper plate effect button 257 is performed, 80 types of variable random numbers are set. Is set as a determination value indicating that the movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 is to be performed after one second is performed (10 to 89), and 10 types of variable random numbers are generated for the upper plate effect button 257. Judgment indicating execution of a movable pattern after 2 seconds in which the movable control of the back movable movable effect unit 3100 is performed at a timing after 2 seconds after the pressing operation. Is set as (90 to 99).

  When the 2nd round big hit is drawn by the main control board, as shown in FIG. 198 (c), 10 kinds of variable random numbers are displayed on the back immediately after pressing the upper plate effect button 257. It is set as a determination value indicating that an immediate movable pattern in which the movable control of the movable effect unit 3100 is performed is to be performed (0 to 9), and 10 kinds of variable random numbers are one second after the pressing operation on the upper tray effect button 257 Is set as a determination value indicating that a movable pattern is to be executed one second after the movable control of the back movable effect unit 3100 is performed (10 to 19), and 80 types of variable random numbers are applied to the upper plate effect button 257. Judgment indicating execution of a movable pattern after 2 seconds in which the movable control of the back movable movable effect unit 3100 is performed at a timing after 2 seconds after the pressing operation. It is set as (20-99).

  According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the number of rounds related to the jackpot can be predicted to some extent by the movable pattern of the back-up movable effect unit 3100 after the upper dish effect button 257 is pressed. For example, if the back up movable effect unit 3100 is moved immediately after pressing the upper dish effect button 257, the player recalls that the 15 round jackpot arrives with high probability, and presses the upper dish effect button 257. If the back movable effect unit 3100 moves immediately after 2 seconds, the player recalls that a two-round jackpot has a high probability. Thereby, the player can be relieved by the movable pattern of the back movable production unit 3100, and the interest in the game can be improved.

  The present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.

  That is, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although what was applied to the pachinko machine 1 as a game machine was shown, it is not limited to this, It applies to the pachislot machine, and the gaming machine formed by uniting a pachinko machine and a pachislot machine.
