In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the normal symbol display 20 executes the normal symbol variation display such that the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10 is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2. The normal symbol indicator is displayed on the basis of the fact that the normal symbol start condition for starting the normal symbol variation display is satisfied, for example, that the previous general symbol game has been completed The usual game by 20 is started.

  In this ordinary game, after a normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time which is a normal symbol change time elapses, a fixed normal symbol which is a normal symbol change display result is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (symbol per symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed normal symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol becomes “per symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol, such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is “usually lost”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the variation display result of the normal symbol is “per normal”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, when the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied, for example, because the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state has ended, the special figure game by the first special symbol display 4A is started. Further, the second starting condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the end of the previous special game or the big hit gaming state, the special game by the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B, after the special symbol variation display is started, when the variation display time as the special symbol variation time elapses, the special symbol variation display is performed. The resulting definite special symbol (special diagram display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big bonus symbol is stopped and displayed as a fixed special symbol, “ It will be “losing”. In addition, a predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) different from the big hit symbol may be stopped and displayed. When the predetermined special symbol (small hit symbol) as a result of the predetermined display is stopped and displayed. What is necessary is just to control to the small hit game state as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, as an example, special symbols indicating numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” are jackpot symbols, and a special symbol indicating a symbol “−” is a lost symbol. When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, for example, a special symbol indicating the number “2” may be used as the small hit symbol. It should be noted that each symbol such as a jackpot symbol or a lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display 4A may be different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display 4B. However, a special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a jackpot symbol or a lost symbol.

  After the jackpot symbol indicating the numbers “3”, “5”, and “7” as the special symbols for the special figure game is stopped and displayed as the “big hit” as the specific display result, it is specially variable in the jackpot game state. In a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a period until a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls is generated in the big winning door of the winning ball apparatus 7 , Open the grand prize opening. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  A special prize-winning ball device that receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the big prize-winning slot, with the grand prize-winning door that has opened the grand prize-winning port during the round. 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”, etc.). Even before the number of rounds has reached the upper limit, the execution of the round may be terminated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has not won a big prize opening). .

  Of the rounds in the big hit gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time for which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the first state (open state) advantageous for the player is relatively long (for example, 29 seconds) is normally opened. Also called round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time during which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the first state (open state) is relatively short (for example, 0.1 seconds) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  When the small hit symbol (for example, the number “2”) is stopped and displayed, after the small hit symbol is derived as a confirmed special symbol, the small hit symbol is controlled as a special gaming state. Good. Specifically, in the small hit game state, for example, the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is advantageous to the player in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 as in the above-described short-term open big hit state in which a practically no outgoing ball (prize ball) is obtained. What is necessary is just to perform the variable winning operation | movement changed to a 1st state (open state).

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the effect display device 5, a special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 4A and In response to the start of any one of the special figure games using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B, the variation display of the effect symbols is started. The period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbols to the end of the variation display due to the stop display of the confirmed effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R Then, the variation display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state.

  Here, the reach state refers to an effect design (“reach variation design”) that has not been stopped yet when the effect design that is stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 forms part of the jackpot combination. Is also a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or part of the design symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R, etc.) in advance. The remaining effect symbol display area (for example, “medium” effect) that has not been stopped yet when the effect symbol (for example, the effect symbol indicating the alphanumeric character of “7”) constituting the determined jackpot combination is stopped and displayed. In the symbol display area 5C, etc., the presentation symbols are changing, or in all or part of the “left”, “middle”, “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R This is a display state that changes synchronously while constituting all or part of the combination.

  In response to the reach state, the variation speed of the effect symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person) different from the effect symbol is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. Or change the display mode of the background image, play and display a moving image that is different from the production symbol, or change the variation mode of the production symbol, so that the production operation different from before reaching the reach state is executed May be. Such an effect operation such as display of the character image, change of the display mode of the background image, reproduction display of the moving image, and change of the change mode of the effect pattern is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the effect display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitting body such as the effect LED 9, etc. before reaching the reach state. An operation mode different from the operation mode may be included.

  As an effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. Each reach mode has a different possibility of “big hit” (also referred to as “reliability” or “big hit reliability”). That is, it is possible to vary the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” depending on which of the multiple types of reach effects is executed.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol does not reach the reach state after the variation display of the production symbol is started. In addition, a definite effect symbol that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normal loss”) variable display mode when the variation display result is “losing”.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol becomes the reach state after the variation display of the production symbol is started. Correspondingly, after the reach effect is executed, or when the reach effect is not executed, a confirmed effect symbol that becomes a predetermined reach lose combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display result of the effect symbol is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach lose”) when the variation display result is “losing”.

  Corresponding to the fact that the variation display state of the production symbol has reached the reach state when the jackpot symbol indicating the number “3” is stopped and displayed as a special symbol that is a jackpot symbol as a special symbol to be confirmed in the special symbol game Then, after a predetermined reach effect is executed, a definite effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) among a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed. Note that the non-probable big hit combination may be stopped and displayed as a confirmed effect symbol without the reach effect being executed.

  The confirmed effect symbol which is a normal big hit combination (non-probable variation big hit combination) is variably displayed in, for example, the “left”, “middle” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C and 5R in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols having the symbol numbers “1” to “8”, any one of the effect symbols having the even symbol numbers “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” is “left”, “ What is necessary is just to be able to be stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line in each of the effect display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “middle” and “right”. The effect symbols having the even number “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” constituting the normal jackpot combination are referred to as normal symbols (also referred to as “non-probable variation symbols”).

  Corresponding to the fact that the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game becomes the normal jackpot symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, the finalized symbol of the normal jackpot combination (non-probable variable jackpot combination) is stopped and displayed. The variable display mode is referred to as a variable display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”) of “non-probable change” (also referred to as “normal big hit”) when the variable display result is “big hit”. It should be noted that the normal jackpot combination (non-probability variable jackpot combination) may be stopped and displayed as the confirmed effect symbol without the reach effect being executed. Based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” for the big hit type of “non-probable change”, the normal open big hit state is controlled, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol change display time (special figure change time) in the special figure game is shortened compared to the normal state. In the short-time control, so-called electric chew support is performed in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the normal variable winning ball device 6B is increased as described later. Here, the normal state is a normal game state that is different from a specific game state such as a big hit game state, and the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed, after the power is turned on) The same control as in the state in which the initialization process is executed is performed. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions is established first, that is, a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit gaming state ends, and the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it just needs to end.

  In the special symbol game, among the special symbols that become jackpot symbols, if the probability variation jackpot symbol such as the special symbol indicating the numbers “5” and “7” is stopped and displayed, the change display state of the effect symbol In response to the reach state being reached, after the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “normal” is executed, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, a predetermined probability variation big hit combination and The determined effect design may be stopped and displayed. In addition, you may stop-display a probable big hit combination as a definite production symbol, without performing reach production. The confirmed effect symbol that is a probable big hit combination is, for example, a symbol number “1” that is variably displayed in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols of “8”, the effect symbols whose symbol numbers are “5” or “7” are displayed in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of “left”, “middle”, and “right”. Any device that can be stopped and displayed on a predetermined effective line may be used. The effect symbols having the symbol numbers “5” and “7” constituting the probability variation jackpot combination are referred to as probability variation symbols. When the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the confirmed effect symbol that is a normal jackpot combination may be stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the effect symbol.

  Regardless of whether the confirmed effect symbol is a normal jackpot combination or a promiscuous jackpot combination, the variation display mode in which the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game will have a "big hit" variation display result. This is referred to as a variation display mode of “probability variation” (also referred to as “big hit type”). In this embodiment, among the big hit types of “probable change”, control is made to the normally open big hit state based on the fact that “5” and “7” change display results are “big hit” as the confirmed special symbols. Then, after the end, probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with the time reduction control.

  By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the fluctuation display result (special display result) becomes “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. The probability variation control may be ended when the condition that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state again after the big hit gaming state is ended. Similar to the time reduction control, the probability variation control is ended when a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times the same as the time reduction number or 90 times different from the time reduction number) are executed after the end of the big hit gaming state. May be. In addition, even if the probability variation control is ended when the probability variation control is ended by the probability variation control lottery executed every time the special game is started after the big hit gaming state is ended, the probability variation control is terminated. Good.

  When the time-shortening control is performed, the normal symbol display unit 20 controls the normal symbol in the normal symbol game so that the variation time of the normal symbol (ordinary symbol variation time) is shorter than that in the normal state. Control to improve the probability that the display result is “per normal figure” than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per normal figure”. The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as a control to make the tilt control time for performing longer than that in the normal state, and a control to increase the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control (electricity support control) that is advantageous to the player by increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied is performed. In this way, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening in accordance with the time-shortening control and is advantageous to the player is also referred to as high opening control. As the high opening control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be combined.

  By performing the high opening control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening becomes the expanded opening state is higher than when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display 4B is easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. The time until the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” is shortened. The period during which the high opening control can be performed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time reduction control is performed.

  The gaming state in which both the short time control and the high opening control are performed is also referred to as a short time state or a high base state. The gaming state in which the probability variation control is performed is also referred to as a probability variation state or a high probability state. A gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is also referred to as a high probability high base state. In this embodiment, the gaming state to be controlled is not set, but the probability variation state in which only the probability variation control is performed and the time-shortening control or the high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. In addition, only the gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is sometimes referred to as a “probability variation state”, and may be referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to distinguish from the high probability low base state. On the other hand, a probability variation state (high probability low base state) in which only time variation control is performed and time reduction control or high opening control is not performed is sometimes referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to be distinguished from a high accuracy high base state. The short time state in which the short time control or the high opening control is performed without performing the probability variation control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability variation control, the time reduction control, nor the high opening control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of time-shortening control and probability variation control is performed in a gaming state other than the normal state, the probability that the special-figure game can be executed frequently and the fluctuation display result in each special-figure game will be “big hit” As a result, the player is in an advantageous state. A gaming state advantageous to a player different from the big hit gaming state is also referred to as a special gaming state.

  When the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed, the game state is not changed after controlling to the small hit game state described above, and the game state before the change display result becomes “small hit” is displayed. Control may be continued.

When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs necessary initial settings after setting the interrupt disabled. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started. In the game control main process, the process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop may be executed before entering the loop process.

  When the CPU 103 that has executed such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, it executes a game control timer interrupt process. When the game control timer interrupt process is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby causing the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count through the switch circuit 110. The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 23 is determined. Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result. Thereafter, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output.

  Subsequent to the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of game random numbers such as random number values MR1 to MR4 used on the main board 11 side by software is executed. Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing. In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A or 2 Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of display operation in the special symbol display 4B and setting of opening / closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed. The CPU 103 executes the normal symbol process, thereby determining the normal symbol variation display mode using the random number MR4 for determining the normal symbol display result, and performing the display operation (for example, turning on the segment LED) on the normal symbol display 20. ), Etc., to control the normal symbol variation display, the tilting operation setting of the movable wing piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, and the like.

  After executing the normal symbol process, the CPU 103 transmits a control command from the main board 11 to a sub-side control board such as the effect control board 12 by executing a command control process. As an example of these, in the command control process, the output port included in the I / O 105 corresponds to the setting in the command transmission table specified by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit. After setting the control data in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the control board 12, the predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal and the effect control INT signal is turned on for a predetermined time. Then, by turning it off, etc., it is possible to transmit the effect control command based on the setting in the command transmission table. After executing the command control process, after setting the interrupt enabled state, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  In the special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process. After executing the start winning determination process, the CPU 103 selects and executes one of processes according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit.

  In the start winning process, it is determined whether or not there is a first start prize or a second start prize by the first start port switch 22A or the second start port switch 22B. Random number value MR1, jackpot type determination random value MR2 and fluctuation pattern determination random value MR3 are extracted, and in the case of the first starting prize, the highest number of empty entries in the first special figure reservation storage unit In the case of the second start winning prize, it is stored at the top of the empty entry in the second special figure reservation storage unit.

  In the special symbol normal process, the first special symbol indicator 4A and the second special symbol indicator 4B are based on the presence / absence of reserved data stored in the first special symbol storage unit and the second special symbol storage unit. It is determined whether or not to start the special game. In the special symbol normal process, whether the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is “big hit” based on the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for determining the special symbol display result, Make a decision (predetermined) before being displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal process, in response to the special symbol variation display result in the special symbol game, the confirmed special symbol (the jackpot symbol or the like in the special symbol game by the first special symbol indicator 4A or the second special symbol indicator 4B). One of the lost symbols) is set.

  In the variation pattern setting process, a variation pattern is selected from a plurality of variations using numerical data indicating a variation pattern determination random value MR3 based on a result of prior determination as to whether or not the variation display result is “big hit”. The process to decide on is included.

  By the special symbol normal process and the variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern including the variation display time of the confirmed special symbol, the special symbol, and the effect symbol, which becomes the variation display result of the special symbol, is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing are performed using the special symbol display result determination random number MR1, the jackpot type determination random value MR2, and the variation pattern determination random value MR3. The process which determines the fluctuation | variation display mode of is included.

  In the special symbol variation process, the first special symbol display unit 4A and the second special symbol display unit 4B perform a setting process for varying the special symbol, and the elapsed time after the special symbol starts variation. Processing to measure is included. In the special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display unit 4A or the second special symbol display unit 4B stops the variation of the special symbol, and the definite special symbol which is the variation display result of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). ) Includes a process for performing setting. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is on.

  The process for pre-opening the big hit includes processing to start the round in the big win gaming state and set the big winning opening to the open state based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit”, etc. It is. In the big hit opening process, the winning prize opening is determined based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. A process for determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state is included. After the big hit opening process, the process of determining whether or not the number of executions of the round that sets the grand prize opening state has reached the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening, or when the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening has been reached Includes processing for making a setting for transmitting a jackpot end designation command. In the jackpot end process, there is a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect as an effect operation for notifying the end of the jackpot gaming state is executed by the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the effect LED 9, or the like. This includes a process of waiting until it elapses, and a process of performing various settings (setting of a probability change flag and a time reduction flag) for starting the probability change control and the time reduction control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state.

  In the big hit ending process, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit (not shown) is read to identify whether the big hit type is “non-probable variable big hit” or “probable big hit”. . If it is determined that the identified big hit type is not “non-probable variation big hit”, setting for starting the probability variation control (setting of the probability variation flag) is performed. In addition, when the specified big hit type is “non-probable variable big hit”, the setting for starting the time reduction control (in advance corresponding to the setting of the time reduction flag and the upper limit value of the special game that can be executed during the time reduction control) A predetermined count initial value (“100” in the present embodiment) is set in the short-time counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. In the main processing, first, initialization processing is performed for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining an activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 shifts to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag. When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag in the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first analyzes the received effect control command and performs a process of setting a flag according to the received effect control command (command analysis process). In this command analysis process, the effect control CPU 120 confirms the content of the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. In the command analysis process, which command is the effect control command stored in the buffer area is analyzed.

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

  Next, an effect random number update process for updating the count value of a counter for generating an effect random number such as a jackpot symbol determination random number is executed, and then the process proceeds to a timer interrupt flag monitoring process.

It is concealed so as to be impossible, and most of it is visible from the player in front view.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a second movable body lowering motor for moving the second movable body 320 from the second movement position toward the second standby position is provided at the lower rear side of the second base member left portion 310 </ b> L. 311L is provided. The second movable body lowering motor 311L has a drive shaft that faces in the up-down direction, and the drive shaft can be rotated about an axis that faces in the up-down direction by driving the second movable body lowering motor 311L. ing.

  On the back side of the second base member left portion 310L, an elevating bolt 312L facing the vertical direction is arranged. The upper and lower ends of the elevating bolt 312L are pivotally supported by the second base member left portion 310L so that the elevating bolt 312L can rotate around an axis that faces in the vertical direction. Further, a driven gear that meshes with a drive gear attached to the drive shaft of the second movable body lowering motor 311L is attached to the lower end of the elevating bolt 312L, and the elevating bolt 312L is driven by the drive gear and the driven gear. The second movable body lowering motor 311L is rotated by the transmitted driving force.

  As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a spiral groove 312a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lifting bolt 312L. An auxiliary moving body 313L is attached to the outer periphery of the lifting bolt 312L. The auxiliary moving body 313L is formed with a through-hole 313b penetrating in the vertical direction in which an engagement protrusion 313a that can engage with the spiral groove 312a is formed on the inner peripheral surface.

  The auxiliary moving body 313L is formed in a substantially cubic shape, and two protrusions 313c extending in the vertical direction are formed on the front side on the left and right sides, and in contact with the back surface of the second base member left part 310L. For this reason, the auxiliary moving body 313L is a spiral groove in a state where the second moving body lowering motor 311L is restricted from rotating together with the elevating bolt 312L when the elevating bolt 312L rotates around the axis. By the engaging action of 312a and the engaging protrusion 313a, it moves up and down along the elevating bolt 312L. When the auxiliary moving body 313L moves up and down, only the front end portions of the protrusions 313c and 313c are in sliding contact with the back surface of the second base member left portion 310L, so that the second base member left portion 310L and the auxiliary moving body 313L are in contact. The friction generated between the two can be kept small.

Is provided.

  A solenoid 315 is provided at the left end of the rear side of the second base member left portion 310L. The solenoid 315 is fixed so that the plunger can protrude rightward. The plunger is provided with a biasing spring. When the solenoid 315 is in an unexcited state (off state), the plunger is protruded rightward by the biasing force of the biasing spring, and the solenoid 315 is excited. In the state (ON state), the plunger is retracted toward the inside (left side) of the solenoid 315 against the urging force of the urging spring. A locking piece 316 is provided at the right end of the plunger of the solenoid 315. The lower end portion of the locking piece 316 is formed on a horizontal plane that comes into contact with the left end portion of the second movable body 320 disposed at the second standby position from above, while the right portion is directed leftward from below to above. Is formed on an inclined surface 316a.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, since the lower end portion of the locking piece 316 comes into contact with the second movable body 320 disposed at the second standby position from above, the upward biasing force by the lifting devices 314L and 314R is exerted. In contrast, the second movable body 320 can be held at the second standby position.

  As shown in FIG. 5, through holes on the left and right ends of the second movable body 320 that are not shown are formed in the vertical direction, and the through holes formed at the left end of the second movable body 320 are raised and lowered. The elevating bolt 312R is inserted into the through hole formed in the right end portion of the second movable body 320 for the bolt 312L for use. For this reason, the second movable body 320 in this embodiment can move in the vertical direction between the second standby position and the second movement position in a state where the left and right ends are guided by the lifting bolts 312L and 312R. ing.

  A through hole 320a that penetrates the second movable body 320 in the front-rear direction is formed at a substantially central portion of the second movable body 320 in a front view. Then, on the left and right sides of the through-hole 320a on the front surface of the second movable body 320, decorative portions 320L and 320R decorated with a color different from other portions of the second movable body 320 with paint or the like are formed.

  In addition, a pair of movable pieces 321L and 321R are pivotally supported on the back side of the second movable body 320 so as to be rotatable by a pivot shaft facing in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 6, the movable pieces 321L and 321R can be rotated between a storage position disposed behind the second movable body 320 and a projecting position projecting above the second movable body 320. It has become. These movable pieces 321L and 321R are arranged in the same color as the decorative portions 320L and 320R. The movable piece 321L is arranged in a straight line with the decorative portion 320L in a front view by rotating to the protruding position.

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the second movable body 320, a motor for rotating the movable pieces 321L and 321R and a plurality of gears for transmitting the driving force of the motor to the movable pieces 321L and 321R. Etc., a deformation drive gear mechanism 322 is incorporated.

  Next, the movement between the second standby position and the second movement position of the second movable body 320 configured as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in a state where the second movable body 320 is disposed at the second standby position, the auxiliary moving body 313L is positioned at the standby position at the upper end of the lifting bolt 312L. In this state, when the solenoid 315 is in an excited state (on state), the locking piece 316 is retracted to the solenoid 315 side (left side), and the contact of the locking piece 316 with the second movable body 320 is released.

  When the contact of the locking piece 316 with the second movable body 320 is released, the cable 314a is wound by the urging force of the ascending devices 314L and 314R. At this time, since one end portion of the cable 314a is connected to the second movable body 320, the second movable body 320 moves from the second standby position to the second movement position along the lifting bolts 312L and 312R together with the cable 314a. Start moving towards.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the second movable body 320 moves to the second movement position, the left end portion of the second movable body 320 abuts on the lower end portion of the auxiliary movable body 313L, and the second movable body 320 The right end portion comes into contact with the lower end portion of the auxiliary moving body 313R, and the movement (rise) of the second movable body 320 stops. In addition, until the second movable body 320 moves from the second standby position to the second movement position, the motor built in the deformation drive gear mechanism 322 drives the movable pieces 321L and 321R in the first direction by driving forward. 2 Rotate from the rear of the movable body 320 to above the second movable body 320.

  In this embodiment, the second movable body 320 is deformed while moving from the second standby position to the second movement position, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second movable body 320 is not only deformed while moving from the second standby position to the second movement position as described above, but is also moved before the movement to the second movement position or to the second movement position. For example, the second movable body 320 may be deformed in relation to the movement.

  Further, as will be described later, the second movable body 320 is disposed at the second movement position, so that the upper end of the first movable body 340 in a state where the upper end is disposed at the first movement position (more accurately, Is disposed above the upper end of the first movable body upper portion 340T (see FIG. 14B).

  Next, when the second movable body 320 is moved from the second movement position toward the second standby position, the second movable body lowering motors 311L and 311R are driven to rotate forward, and the auxiliary movable bodies 313L and 313R are moved up and down. It is moved downward along the bolts 312L and 312R. At this time, since the auxiliary movable bodies 313L and 313R are in contact with the second movable body 320 from above at the second movement position, the second movable body 320 resists the urging force acting on the lifting devices 314L and 314R. The auxiliary moving bodies 313L and 313R move from the second movement position toward the second standby position while being pressed downward.

  In addition, the 2nd movable body 320 is slidably contacted with the inclined surface 316a formed in the latching piece 316 by moving toward the 2nd standby position from a 2nd movement position. For this reason, the second movable body 320 moves while retracting the locking piece 316 to the solenoid 315 side (left side). When the movement to the second standby position is completed, the sliding contact between the locking piece 316 and the left end portion of the second movable body 320 is released, and the locking piece 316 is again at the lower end portion of the second movable body 320. It comes in contact with the left end of the above from above.

  After the second movable body 320 is disposed at the second standby position, the second movable body lowering motors 311L and 311R are driven in reverse to move the auxiliary movable bodies 313L and 313R upward along the lifting bolts 312L and 312R. Move towards. The reverse drive of the second movable body lowering motors 311L and 311R may be stopped when the auxiliary moving bodies 313L and 313R are detected by the detection sensors 317L and 317R.

  In the present embodiment, the second movable body 320 is moved upward from the second standby position to the upper second movement position by being biased upward by the lifting devices 314L and 314R and the cable 314a. However, you may make it raise by moving means other than raising device 314L, 314R and cable 314a. Further, the second movable body lowering motors 311L and 311R, the lifting bolts 312L and 312R, and the auxiliary moving bodies 313L and 313R are moved from the second movement position to the second standby position. It may be lowered by means.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a first movable body raising motor for moving the first movable body 340 from the first movement position toward the first standby position is provided on the front side upper portion of the first base member left portion 330L. 331L is provided. The first movable body raising motor 331L has a drive shaft that faces in the up-and-down direction, and the drive shaft can be rotated around an axis that faces in the up-and-down direction by driving the first movable body raising motor 331L. ing.

The upper and lower end portions of the lifting bolt 332L are pivotally supported by the first base member left portion 330L so that the lifting bolt 332L can rotate around an axial center that faces the vertical direction. Further, a driven gear that meshes with a drive gear attached to the drive shaft of the first movable body raising motor 331L is attached to the upper end portion of the raising / lowering bolt 332L, and the raising / lowering bolt 332L is formed by the drive gear and the driven gear. The first movable body raising motor 331L is rotated by the transmitted driving force.

  Similarly to the lifting bolt 312L provided on the second base member 310, a spiral groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lifting bolt 332L. Similar to the auxiliary moving body 313L attached to the lifting bolt 312L, the outer periphery of the lifting bolt 332L penetrates in the vertical direction in which an engagement protrusion capable of engaging with the spiral groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface. An auxiliary moving body 333L in which a through hole is formed is mounted.

  The auxiliary moving body 333L is formed in a substantially cubic shape, and two protrusions (not shown) extending in the vertical direction are formed on the left and right sides on the back side, and is in contact with the front surface of the first base member left portion 330L. . For this reason, the auxiliary moving body 333L in the present embodiment is in a state where it is restricted from rotating together with the lifting bolt 332L when the lifting bolt 332L rotates around the axis by the first movable body lifting motor 331L. Due to the engaging action of the spiral groove and the engaging protrusion, it moves up and down along the lifting bolt 332L.

As shown in FIG. 12 (A), a guide groove 350a is formed on the right side surface of the guide plate 350L. The guide groove 350a is curved from the front to the rear of the first base member central portion 330C. Although not specifically shown, the guide plate 350R is symmetrical to the guide plate 350L, and the left side surface is formed with the same guide groove as the guide groove 350a formed on the right side surface of the guide plate 350L. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the first movable body 340 is mainly composed of a first movable body lower part 340B and a first movable body upper part 340T disposed above the first movable body lower part 340B. A through hole (not shown) facing in the vertical direction is formed in the left and right ends of the first movable body lower part 340B, and a lifting bolt 332L is provided in the through hole formed in the left end part of the first movable body lower part 340B. Elevating bolts 332R are inserted through the through holes formed at the right end of the first movable body lower portion 340B. For this reason, the first movable body 340 in this embodiment can move in the vertical direction between the first standby position and the first standby position in a state where the left and right ends are guided by the lifting bolts 332L and 332R. ing. On the front surface of the first movable body 340, a decoration portion 340a decorated with a color different from other portions of the first movable body 340 with paint or the like is formed in a substantially V shape in a front view.

  As shown in FIG. 10, at the left and right ends of the first movable body upper portion 340T, protrusions 340c and 340c are formed to protrude toward the left and right sides of the first movable body upper portion 340T, and these protrusions 340c. , 340c are disposed in guide grooves 350a formed in the guide plates 350L and 350R in a state where the first movable body 340 is disposed at the first standby position. In addition, a display portion 340d in which a character such as a work that is a motif of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is drawn with paint or the like is provided at a position corresponding to the through hole 320a on the front surface of the first movable body upper portion 340T. .

  The upper end portion of the first movable body lower portion 340B and the lower end portion of the first movable body upper portion 340T are connected by a connecting shaft 340e (see FIG. 4A) that faces in the left-right direction, and the first movable body upper portion 340T is The connecting shaft 340e is pivotable between an upper position of the first movable body lower part 340B and a rear position of the first movable body lower part 340B. The connecting shaft 340e is provided with a torsion spring (not shown), and the first movable body upper part 340T is urged toward the upper position of the first movable body lower part 340B by the torsion spring.

  Next, the movement between the first standby position and the first movement position of the first movable body 340 configured as described above will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the first movable body 340 is disposed at the first standby position, the locking piece 335 is the left end of the first movable body 340 (first movable body lower portion 340B). The first movable body 340 is held at the first standby position by coming into contact with the portion from below. At this time, since the first movable body upper portion 340T is disposed at the upper rear end portion in the guide groove 350a formed in the guide plates 350L and 350R with the protrusions 340c and 340c, the first movable body upper portion 340T is connected via the connecting shaft 340e. It arrange | positions in the state bent backward with respect to the movable body lower part 340B. When the solenoid 334 is in an excited state (on state) in this state, the locking piece 335 is retracted to the solenoid 334 side (left side), and the contact of the locking piece 335 with the second movable body is released.

  Thus, when the contact of the locking piece 335 with the first movable body 340 is released, the first movable body 340 falls from its first standby position toward its first movement position by its own weight.

  At this time, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the protrusions 340c and 340c start to move downward along the inner walls of the guide grooves 350a and 350a. For this reason, the first movable body upper portion 340T is moved to a position above the first movable body lower portion 340B by the movement along the guide grooves 350a and 350a of the protrusions 340c and 340c and the urging force acting on the connecting shaft 340e. Fall.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the first movable body 340 moves to the first movement position, the left end portion of the first movable body 340 comes into contact with the upper end portion of the auxiliary movable body 333L, and the first movable body 340 The right end abuts on the upper end of the auxiliary moving body 333R, and the movement (falling) of the first movable body 340 stops.

It is moved upward along 332L and 332R. At this time, the first movable body 340 moves while being pushed up from the first standby position toward the first movement position by the auxiliary movement bodies 333L and 333R because the auxiliary movement bodies 333L and 333R are in contact from below.

  At this time, the protrusions 340c and 340c enter the guide grooves 350a and 350a from below. Then, as the first movable body 340 moves from the first movement position toward the first standby position, the protrusions 340c and 340c move in the guide grooves 350a and 350a along the inner walls in the guide grooves 350a and 350a. Move toward the upper rear edge. As the protrusions 340c and 340c move in the guide grooves 350a and 350a in this way, the first movable body upper part 340T moves the first movable body 340 from the first movement position toward the first standby position. As the operation proceeds, the torsion spring (not shown) rotates against the urging force of the first movable body lower part 340B.
