In this state, a rotating moment acts on the back upper middle rotation unit 3460 so as to rotate in the counterclockwise direction in front view around the rotation support pin 3441a due to the weight of the back upper middle decoration unit 3410 and the like. ing. The driving pin 3446b is pressed to the left side via the driving slit 3461b by this rotational moment. When the drive pin 3446b is pressed, the elevation drive gear 3446 attempts to rotate. However, the drive pin 3446b passes through the rotation center of the elevation drive gear 3446 and is perpendicular to the direction in which the drive slit 3461b extends. Since it is located below, the elevation drive gear 3446 attempts to rotate clockwise in front view. However, since the drive pin 3446b of the lift drive gear 3446 is in contact with the lower end in the drive slit 3461b, the lift drive gear 3446 cannot rotate further clockwise, and the upper middle rotation unit 3460 Is maintained in a normal state, and the back upper middle decorative body unit 3410 is locked in a raised state. Also, in this state, the lifting drive gear 3446 does not rotate despite the action of the rotational moment, so that a load is applied to the second upper drive motor 3443 via the second transmission gear 3445 and the second drive gear 3444. In other words, the back upper middle decoration body unit 3410 can be maintained at the rising end even if the middle upper back second drive motor 3443 is not energized.

  In a normal state, the transmission rack gear 3466 slidably supported by the slide groove 3461e of the rotation unit base 3461 is located at the moving end where the rotation support pin 3441a (bearing portion 3461a) has moved away, and The driven pinion gear 3467 meshing with the transmission rack gear 3466 is at a rotational position near the turning end in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. Further, in a normal state, the center of the insertion hole 3461c (the driven pinion gear 3467) of the rotating unit base 3461 of the back upper middle rotating unit 3460 is located higher than the center of the bearing 3461a (the rotation support pin 3441a). ing.

While rotating, the assist pin 3461d slides in the assist slit 3450a toward the distal end side.

  Then, when the rear upper middle rotation unit 3460 rotates about 41 degrees counterclockwise from the normal state in front view, the rotation driving of the rear upper middle second drive motor 3443 stops, and the insertion hole 3461c of the rotation unit base 3461 is inserted. The driven pinion gear 3467 is located below the rotation support pin 3441a, and the back upper middle decoration unit 3410 is located at the lower end (see FIG. 52B). In this state, a part of the rotating unit base 3461 abuts on the unit base 3441, and the assist pin 3461d abuts on the distal end of the assist slit 3450a. The rotation is restricted.

  When the back upper middle rotation unit 3460 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front, and the back upper middle decoration unit 3410 is positioned at the lower end, the back upper middle decoration unit 3410 is assembled on the game board 5 and The center of the body unit 3410 (the central decorative part 3412a of the second upper decorative body 3412) is located substantially at the center of the frame of the center role 2500 (see FIG. 66).

  With the back upper middle decorative body unit 3410 moved to the lower end, the drive pinion gear 3465 is rotationally driven in the clockwise direction in front view by the back upper middle third drive motor 3463 via the third drive gear 3464. Then, the transmission rack gear 3466 meshing with the drive pinion gear 3465 slides rightward in the front view in the slide groove 3461e. When this transmission rack gear 3466 slides rightward, the driven pinion gear 3467 meshing with the transmission rack gear 3466 rotates counterclockwise in front view, and the rotational connection mounted on the front surface of the driven pinion gear 3467. Through the connection base 3431 of the member 3430, the back upper middle decoration unit 3410 also rotates counterclockwise in front view.

  In the rear upper middle rotation unit 3460, the rear upper middle decoration unit 3410 can be rotated counterclockwise in front view until the transmission rack gear 3466 reaches the right end of the slide groove 3461e in front view.

  Regarding the handle unit 500, a contact detection sensor 509 for detecting whether a palm or a finger is touching the handle lever 504, and a stop for detecting whether or not the launch of the game ball is forcibly stopped by the player's will. After the detection signal from the button is input to the firing control input circuit, it is input to the firing timing control circuit. When the CR unit and the CR unit connection terminal board are electrically connected, they are input to the firing control input circuit as a CR connection signal and input to the firing timing control circuit. A signal from the handle operation sensor 507 that electrically adjusts the strength of launching the game ball toward the game area 5a in accordance with the rotational position of the handle lever 504 is input to the firing solenoid drive circuit.

  The firing reference pulse is input to the firing solenoid drive circuit, based on a signal from the handle operation sensor 507, based on a drive current for launching a game ball toward the game area 5a with a launch strength corresponding to the rotational position of the handle lever 504. As a result, the output is output to the firing solenoid 682. On the other hand, the ball-feeding solenoid drive circuit outputs a constant current to the ball-feeding solenoid 551 in response to the input of the ball-feeding reference pulse, so that the game balls stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 are thrown by the ball. One ball is received in the feeding unit 540, and when the input of the ball feeding reference pulse is completed, the output of the constant current is stopped to send the received game ball to the ball firing device 680 side. As described above, while the drive current output from the firing solenoid drive circuit to the firing solenoid 682 is variably controlled, the drive current output from the ball feed solenoid drive circuit to the ball feed solenoid 551 is controlled to be constant. ing.

[3-4. LCD display control unit]
Next, a liquid crystal display control unit 1512 that performs drawing control of the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 on the peripheral control board 1510 is not illustrated in detail, but is not illustrated as a microprocessor. A display control MPU, a display control ROM for storing various processing programs, various commands, and various data, a VDP (Video Display Processor) for controlling display of the main liquid crystal display device 1600 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244, and a main liquid crystal display. An image ROM for storing various data of screens displayed on the display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244, and an image RAM for transferring and copying various data stored in the image ROM And

  The display control MPU includes a parallel I / O port, a serial I / O port, and the like, and controls the VDP based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 to control the main liquid crystal display 1600. The drawing control of the sub liquid crystal display device 3114 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 is performed. When the display control MPU is operating normally, the display control MPU outputs an operation signal to that effect to the peripheral control unit 1511. The display control MPU receives an execution signal from the VDP, and performs an interrupt process when the output of the execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

  The display control ROM includes various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244, as well as control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511. And a plurality of non-resident area transfer schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) corresponding thereto. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data that defines a screen configuration in a time series, and defines the order of screens to be drawn on the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244. Have been. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is configured such that when transferring various data stored in the image ROM to the non-resident area of the image RAM, the non-resident area transfer data that defines the order is arranged in chronological order. The non-resident area transfer data includes screen data to be drawn on the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 according to the progress of the schedule data in advance from the image ROM to the non-resident area of the image RAM. The order in which data is transferred is defined.

  The display control MPU extracts the first screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 from the display control ROM, outputs the extracted data to the VDP, and then outputs the screen data following the first screen data. It is extracted from the display control ROM and output to the VDP. In this way, the display control MPU extracts the screen data arranged in chronological order in the schedule data one by one from the display control ROM from the first screen data and outputs the screen data to the VDP.

  When the screen data output from the display control MPU is input, the VDP extracts sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data and outputs the sprite data to the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper plate. The drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 244 is generated, and the generated drawing data is output to the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244. When the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 do not receive screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs an execution signal to that effect to the display control MPU. I do. The VDP employs a line buffer system. The “line buffer method” means that one line of drawing data for drawing the left and right directions of the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 is held in the line buffer, and the line buffer stores the data. In this method, the held drawing data for one line is output to the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244.

  An extremely large amount of sprite data is stored in the image ROM, and its capacity is large. When the capacity of the image ROM increases, that is, when the number of sprites to be drawn on the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 increases, the access speed of the image ROM cannot be ignored, and This affects the speed of drawing on the display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the image ROM is transferred and copied to the image RAM having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the image RAM. Note that sprite data is base data which is data before the sprite is expanded into a bitmap format, and is stored in a compressed state in the image ROM.

  Here, the "sprite" will be described. The "sprite" is an image displayed as a unit on the main liquid crystal display device 1600 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244. For example, when displaying various people (characters) on the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, or the upper liquid crystal display device 244, data for drawing each person is called "sprite". Accordingly, when displaying a plurality of persons on the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to the person, the house, the mountain, the road, and the like that constitute the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be one sprite. These sprites are set in a position arranged on the screen and in a vertical relationship when the sprites overlap each other (hereinafter, referred to as “sprite overlapping order”), and the main liquid crystal display device 1600 and the sub liquid crystal display device are set. 3114 and the upper plate liquid crystal display device 244.

  Note that the sprite is configured by laminating a plurality of rectangular areas each having 64 pixels in the vertical and horizontal directions. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a “sprite character”. In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed by using one sprite character. In the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, a total of six sprite characters arranged in a horizontal 2 × vertical 3 or the like are used. Can be expressed. In the case of a larger sprite such as a background, it can be represented using a larger number of sprite characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

  The main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 sequentially set the display state of each pixel in one direction along the pixels from left to right when viewed from the front. And a sub-scan which repeats a main scan in a direction intersecting the one direction. The main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 receive one line of drawing data output from the liquid crystal display control unit 1512, and perform main scanning. When viewed from the front of the sub liquid crystal display device 3114 or the upper liquid crystal display device 244, the data is sequentially output to pixels for one line from left to right. When the output of one line is completed, the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114, and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 shift to the line immediately below as sub scanning, and similarly, drawing data of the next line is input. Then, one line is sequentially read from left to right as viewed from the front of the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the sub liquid crystal display device 3114 and the upper liquid crystal display device 244 as main scanning based on the drawing data for the next line. Output to each pixel.

[4. Game content]
Next, the contents of the game played by the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 10, 16, 21 and 71. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is operated by the player rotating the handle lever 504 of the handle unit 500 arranged at the lower right corner of the front of the door frame 3. Is driven into the upper portion of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in the game board 5, and the game with the game ball is started. The game ball hit into the upper part in the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center role 2500 depending on the hitting strength. In addition, the driving strength of the game balls can be adjusted by the rotation amount of the handle lever 504, and the stronger the clockwise rotation, the stronger the ball can be hit, and a maximum of 100 continuous game balls per minute. That is, game balls can be hit at 0.6 second intervals.

  Also, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are implanted at appropriate positions in a predetermined gauge arrangement on the front surface of the game panel 1100 (panel board 1110), and a game ball is formed on the obstacle nail. By the contact, the flowing speed of the game ball is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movement can be enjoyed. In addition, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nails, a windmill (not shown) which is rotated by the contact of the game ball is provided at an appropriate position.

  When the game ball driven into the upper portion of the center role 2500 enters the front peripheral left side of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center role 2500 to the left in front view, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) , And flows down the area on the left side of the center role 2500. Then, when a game ball flowing down the left area of the center role 2500 enters the warp entrance 2520 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center role 2500, the game ball passes through the warp passage 2521. It is supplied to the stage 2530 through the guide path 2523 from the warp outlet 2522 opened in the frame of 2500.

  The game ball supplied from the warp exit 2522 to the stage 2530 rolls on the stage 2530 and moves back and forth to the left and right, and the central guiding portion 2531 at the center in the left-right direction or the side guiding portions 2532 at the left and right thereof. Is emitted backward from any of the. When the game ball is released from the central guiding portion 2531 of the stage 2530 into the game area 5a, the game released from the central guiding portion 2531 because the central guiding portion 2531 is located immediately above the first starting port 2002. The ball is accepted in the first starting port 2002 with a high probability. When game balls are received in the first opening 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 1310 and the payout control board 951. .

  When the game ball rolling on the stage 2530 is released from the side guiding portion 2532 into the game area 5a, it flows down toward the starting port unit 2100. The game ball released from the stage 2530 of the center role 2500 into the game area 5a may be received in the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, the first big winning port 2005 in the open state, or the like.

  By the way, when the game ball that has flowed to the left side of the center role 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2520, it is moved toward the center in the left-right direction by the shelf 2302 of the upper side unit 2300, and the general winning opening of the lower side unit 2200 There is a possibility that it will be accepted in 2001, the first starting port 2002 or the like. When a game ball is received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 830 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. .

  On the other hand, a game ball hit on the upper part of the center role 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the front peripheral wall portion 2512 of the center role 2500 (struck). ), And enters the upper right circulation space 2541 of the right hitting game area 2540. Although not shown, a plurality of obstacle nails are implanted in the upper right circulation space 2541, and a game ball contacts the obstacle nail and circulates while changing its flowing direction in various ways. In the upper right circulation space 3541, a gate portion 2003 is provided at an upper part, and a general winning opening 2001 and a second starting opening 2004 which is normally closed by a second starting opening door member 2549 are provided at a lower part.

  The game ball that has flowed down the upper right circulation space 2541 enters the lower right circulation space 2543 through the right flow passage 2542 on the downstream side. The gaming ball that has entered the lower right circulation space 2543 is a second upper winning opening that closes the second upper winning opening 2006a and the second lower winning opening 2006b arranged side by side as a second winning opening 2006. The upper surface of the door member 2552 and the second lower winning opening door member 2555 passes through the second attacker passage 2543a forming the bottom surface, and enters the gaming area 5a from the left end of the lower left emission plate portion 2559 in front view. Released. The downstream end (discharge plate portion 2559) of the second attacker passage 2543a is opened so that the game ball is directed to the first big winning opening 2005 of the starting opening unit 2100, and when the first big winning opening 2005 is in the open state. When the game ball is released from the second attacker passage 2543a into the game area 5a, the game ball is received in the first special winning opening 2005 with a high probability.

  The game balls flowing through the right flow passage 2542 and the lower right flow space 2543 flow down while the increase in the flow speed is suppressed by the plurality of deceleration ribs 2546. In rare cases, in the lower right circulation space 2543, the game ball may enter the discharge passage 2543b branched near the upstream end of the second attacker passage 2543a. It is discharged out of the game board 5 from the second out port 2543c without being returned inside.

  When a game ball hitting right and entering the upper right circulation space 2541 passes through the gate unit 2003 and is detected by the gate sensor 2547, the ordinary random number updated in a predetermined numerical range on the main control board 1310 , One ordinary random number is acquired, and the acquired ordinary random number is compared with a predetermined ordinary hit determination table to perform an ordinary lottery. If the normal lottery result of this normal lottery becomes “normal hit” when the time-saving control described later is not executed, the second starting port door member 2549 rotates only once in the counterclockwise direction in front view to rotate the second lottery. The starting port 2004 is opened, and game balls can be accepted into the second starting port 2004 for a predetermined time (0.5 seconds in this example). On the other hand, when the time reduction control is executed, the lottery is performed to determine which of the “normal hit”, the “second normal hit”, the “second normal hit”, and the “third normal hit” in the normal lottery. Then, if the normal lottery result of the normal lottery is any of “first normal hit”, “second normal hit”, or “third normal hit” when the time saving control is executed, the second start-up door member 2549 is activated. After turning in the counterclockwise direction to open the second starting port 2004 in a front view, a state in which game balls can be received in the second starting port 2004 for a predetermined period is set, and then a front view is performed. A predetermined number of times of opening / closing control (5 in this example) in which the second starting port 2004 is closed by rotating in the counterclockwise direction to make it impossible to receive game balls in the second starting port 2004. Times). When the normal lottery result of the normal lottery is “first normal hit”, “0.3 seconds” is set as each of the five times in which the second starting port 2004 is ready to accept game balls. , "0.28 seconds", "0.3 seconds", "0.28 seconds", "0.3 seconds", and when the normal lottery result of the normal lottery becomes "second normal hit" “0.3 seconds”, “0.28 seconds”, “1.1 seconds”, and “0.28 seconds” as five periods in which the second starting port 2004 is in a state in which game balls can be accepted , "0.3 seconds", and when the ordinary lottery result of the ordinary lottery is "third ordinary hit", the second starting port 2004 is set to a state in which game balls can be received. The periods are “0.3 seconds”, “0.28 seconds”, “0.3 seconds”, “0.28 seconds”, “1.1 seconds”, and “second normal hit” and “third normal”. Ri "In advantageous to the player than the" first normal per "has become a (acceptance of game balls to the second start-up port 2004 is easy) Atari. When game balls are received in the second starting port 2004, 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 1310 and the payout control board 951. You.

  In the present embodiment, in the variation display of the ordinary symbol performed by the ordinary symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the passing of the game ball through the gate unit 2003, the ordinary symbol is displayed after the variation display of the ordinary symbol is started. A certain amount of time is set before the stop display (until the normal lottery result is suggested) (for example, 0.01 to 60 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). In the second starting port 2004, the second starting port door member 2549 turns to be in an open state after the elapse of the normal fluctuation time. During execution of time-saving control described later, control for reducing the normal fluctuation time is executed as compared with normal (a state in which time-saving control is not executed). Further, the opening time during which the second starting port door member 2549 is rotated to open the second starting port 2004 may be changed according to the gaming state. For example, time saving control is executed. When there is no time saving control, the opening time of the second starting port 2004 may be changed to a longer time than when the time saving control is executed.

  In addition, during the period from when the game ball passes through the gate unit 2003 to when the normal symbol fluctuated and displayed on the normal symbol display is stopped and displayed (until the normal lottery result is suggested), a new game ball is input to the gate unit. After passing through 2003, the normal symbol display cannot start a new variable display of the normal symbol. Therefore, the start of the variable display of the normal symbol is continued until the previous variable display of the normal symbol is completed (the normal lottery result is displayed). (Until the suggestion ends). Specifically, the ordinary random number acquired by the main control board 1310 based on the detection of the game ball passing through the gate unit 2003 by the gate sensor 2547 is stored, and the state in which the ordinary symbol variation display can be started is obtained. Until the start of the change display of the normal symbol is held. Note that the number of ordinary random numbers that can be stored in the main control board 1310 is up to four, and for more than that, even if a game ball passes through the gate unit 2003, it is discarded without being retained. . This suppresses an increase in the burden on the gaming hall due to accumulation of reservations.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball received in the first starting port 2002 is detected by the first starting port sensor 2104, the pachinko machine 1 updates the game ball in a predetermined numerical range on the main control board 1310. By obtaining one first special random number from one special random number and comparing the obtained first special random number with a predetermined jackpot determination table, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, "big hit" , "Small hit", etc.), a lottery of the first special lottery result is performed. Then, based on the lottery result of the first special lottery, the eight LEDs of the first special symbol display are controlled to blink for a predetermined variation time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds), and then the first special lottery result is obtained. (Indicating the first special symbol after the variable display and then displaying the stop symbol according to the first special lottery result) to indicate to the player the first special lottery result. In addition, the first special lottery result which is drawn when the game ball is received in the first starting port 2002 includes “out”, “small hit”, “2R big hit”, “8R big hit”, and “10R big hit”. Yes, the acquired first special random number is compared with the jackpot determination table to determine which of these is the case. Further, after the jackpot game, a normal (low probability state: with a probability of about 1/395 in this example) Probability improvement control (high probability state (also called probable change state): in this example, the jackpot is won with a probability of about 1/44) that improves the probability of winning a jackpot (winning probability) rather than the jackpot. Whether or not to execute the time-saving jackpot, and whether or not to execute the time-saving control (time-saving state) for shortening the fluctuation time more than usual when at least the first special lottery result is unsuccessful (time-saving big hit). Or time reduction control Period to execute: a (time-reduction times special symbol (number of times of the change in the first special punching pattern and the second special symbol)), so that also is determined. Note that the winning probability of "small hit" is always constant regardless of the gaming state (about 1/300 in this example).

  When the game ball received in the second starting port 2004 is detected by the second starting port sensor 2551, one of the second special random numbers updated in the predetermined numerical range on the main control board 1310 is selected. Is obtained, and the acquired second special random number is compared with a predetermined jackpot determination table to obtain an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit", "small hit", etc.) that is advantageous to the player. The lottery of the result of the second special lottery which generates the item (1) is performed. Then, based on the selected second special lottery result, the eight LEDs of the second special symbol display are controlled to blink for a predetermined variation time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds), and then the second special lottery result is obtained. Is displayed in a lighting manner according to (the second special symbol is variably displayed, and then a stop symbol corresponding to the second special lottery result is displayed) to indicate the second special lottery result to the player. In addition, the second special lottery result, which is drawn when a game ball is received in the second starting port 2004, includes “out”, “2R big hit”, “4R big hit”, “5R big hit”, “6R big hit”, There are "7R jackpot", "8R jackpot", and "16R jackpot", and the acquired second special random number is compared with the jackpot determination table to determine which of them is the normal random number. Low-probability state: Probability improvement control (high-probability state (also referred to as probable state), which increases the probability of winning a jackpot (winning probability) rather than winning a jackpot with a probability of approximately 1/395 in this example) In this case, whether or not to win the jackpot with a probability of about 1/44) is executed (whether or not the jackpot is a probability variable jackpot). (Time saving ) To be executed (whether or not a time saving big hit) and a period for executing the time saving control (the number of time savings: a special symbol (the number of times the first special hit symbol and the second special symbol change)) are also determined. It has become.

  When the special lottery results (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by receiving game balls into the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 are special lottery results that generate an advantageous gaming state. After a lapse of a predetermined fluctuation time, the eight LEDs of the special symbol display (the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display) are displayed in a lighting mode according to the special lottery result, and thereafter, the first special winning opening Either 2005 or the second special winning opening 2006 can receive game balls in a predetermined opening and closing pattern. When a game ball is received in the first special winning opening 2005 or the second special winning opening 2006 while the first special winning opening 2005 or the second special winning opening 2006 is in an open state, a payout device is provided by the main control board 1310 and the payout board. From 830, a predetermined number of game balls (for example, 11 when a game ball is received in the first winning opening 2005, or 15 when a game ball is received in the second winning opening 2006) Is paid out to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the first special winning opening 2005 and the second special winning opening 2006 are capable of accepting game balls, by allowing the first special winning opening 2005 and the second special winning opening 2006 to receive game balls, a large number of games can be achieved. The ball can be paid out, and the player can be entertained.

  When the special lottery result is “small hit” or “2R big hit”, the first big winning opening 2005 plays the game ball for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern of closing after being in the acceptable open state is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, if the special lottery result is “4R jackpot”, “5R jackpot”, “6R jackpot”, “7R jackpot”, “8R jackpot”, “10R jackpot”, or “16R jackpot”, the first big winning opening A predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the 2005 or the second special winning opening 2006 becomes an open state in which game balls can be received, or the first special winning opening 2005 is predetermined. When either the number (for example, 7) of game balls is accepted or the predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is accepted in the second special winning opening 2006, the condition is satisfied. A predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds) of repeating the opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) in which the game ball cannot be received in a closed state is repeated. For example, 4 rounds for “4R jackpot”, 5 rounds for “5R jackpot”, and 16 rounds for “16R jackpot” are repeated, respectively, to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player. In addition, the opening / closing pattern executed when the special lottery result is “small hit” or “2R big hit” (the first big winning opening 2005 has a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds)). In the meantime, in the opening / closing pattern in which the game ball is opened after the game ball can be received and then closed, it is difficult to substantially allow the game ball to enter the first special winning opening 2005. On the other hand, the opening / closing pattern executed when the special lottery result is “4R jackpot”, “5R jackpot”, “6R jackpot”, “7R jackpot”, “8R jackpot”, “10R jackpot”, “16R jackpot” (A predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the first special winning opening 2005 or the second special winning opening 2006 is in an open state in which game balls can be received, or the first special winning opening 2005 Either a predetermined number (for example, 7) of game balls is accepted or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls is accepted in the second special winning opening 2006. When such a condition is satisfied, in the opening / closing pattern in which the game ball cannot be received in the closed state), it is easy to cause the game ball to enter the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006. If the special lottery result is “4R jackpot”, “5R jackpot”, “6R jackpot”, “7R jackpot”, “8R jackpot”, “10R jackpot”, or “16R jackpot”, the above first big prize A predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses after the opening 2005 or the second special winning opening 2006 becomes an open state in which game balls can be received, or the first special winning opening 2005 is determined in advance. Either a certain number (for example, seven) of game balls are accepted or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of game balls are accepted in the second special winning opening 2006. Then, the number of rounds in which the opening / closing pattern for making the game balls unacceptable to be closed may be set as a substantial special lottery result, and a predetermined number (for example, , 7) When one of the conditions of accepting a game ball or accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls into the second special winning opening 2006 is satisfied, the game ball cannot be closed. The opening / closing pattern to be set and the opening / closing pattern executed when the special lottery result is “small hit” or “2R big hit” (the first special winning opening 2005 is set to a predetermined short time (for example, 0.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds) During this period), a plurality of rounds including an opening / closing pattern of opening and closing the game ball after the game ball can be received may be provided. For example, a special lottery result “8R big hit with 4Rs” is provided, and a predetermined number (for example, 7) of game balls is accepted in the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening is set. If a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls can be accepted to 2006 or if any of the conditions is satisfied, the open / close pattern of closing the game balls in an unacceptable closed state is repeated four times. The opening / closing pattern executed when the special lottery result is “small hit” or “2R big hit” (for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds) An opening / closing pattern in which the game ball is opened after the game ball can be received and then closed) may be repeated four times.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, the second special winning opening 2006 is composed of a second upper special winning opening 2006a and a second lower special winning opening 2006b arranged side by side, and the second special winning opening 2006 is used. In the case of the "big hit", for example, in the first round (1R), the second upper winning prize opening 2006a is opened so that the game ball can be accepted, and the ball is closed by satisfying the condition that the game ball cannot be accepted, and then the game ball can be accepted next. Until (interval), the second round (2R) in which the second lower winning opening 2006b is opened and game balls can be accepted is started, and when the second lower winning opening 2006b becomes unacceptable, In the meantime, since the interval period has elapsed, the second upper winning opening 2006a is opened again so that game balls can be received. Then, the second upper winning opening 2006a and the second lower winning opening 2006b are alternately opened and closed until a predetermined number of rounds are consumed. Accordingly, in the second attacker passage 2543a, during the "big hit", either the second upper special winning opening 2006a or the second lower special winning opening 2006b is in a state in which a game ball can be received. When a game ball is distributed in the second attacker passage 2543a by right-handing, the game ball is always accepted in the second big winning opening 2006, so that the player can entertain the player without losing the game ball. Can be.

  Further, in the present embodiment, for some of the above-described types of jackpots, whether or not to execute the above-mentioned time-saving control after the end of the jackpot game is made different depending on the gaming state at the time of the jackpot winning. For example, when the first special lottery result is an 8R normal big hit in which the probability improvement control is not executed after the big hit game in the non-time saving state (a state where the time saving control is not executed), the time saving control is not executed after the big hit game. On the other hand, when the first special lottery result is the 8R normal big hit in the time saving state (a state in which the time saving control is executed), the time saving control is executed after the big hit game. When the second special lottery result is a 2R normal big hit in which the probability improvement control is not executed after the big hit game in the non-time saving state (a state where the time saving control is not executed), the time saving control is not executed after the big hit game. On the other hand, when the second special lottery result is a 2R normal big hit in a time saving state (a state where the time saving control is being executed), the time saving control is executed after the big hit game. In a low probability non-time saving state (a state in which both the probability improvement control and the time reduction control are not executed: also referred to as a normal state), the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result execute the probability improvement control after the big hit game. If it is a 2R probability change big hit, the time saving control is not executed after the big hit game. On the other hand, in the state where the probability improvement control is executed or the time saving control is executed, that is, the first special lottery result and the second special lottery result execute the probability improvement control after the big hit game in a state other than the normal state. If it is a big hit, the time reduction control is executed after the big hit game.

  In the present embodiment, the first special symbol display executed by the first special symbol display when the game ball is received in the first starting port 2002 and the game ball is received in the second starting port 2004 are displayed. The variable display of the second special symbol executed by the second special symbol display is not executed at the same time, and only one of them is executed. Therefore, until the first special symbol which is fluctuated and displayed on the first special symbol display by accepting the game ball to the first starting port 2002 is stopped (until the first special lottery result is suggested) and the first special symbol is indicated. Until the second special symbol which is fluctuated and displayed on the second special symbol display by stopping the game ball into the second starting port 2004 is stopped and displayed (until the second special lottery result is suggested), the first start is performed. When a new game ball is received in the mouth 2002 or the second starting port 2004, the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display starts a new variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Because it is not possible to change the display of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) until the change display of the previous special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) ends (first special lottery Until the results and suggestions for the second special lottery result are completed. ) Is set to be pending. Specifically, the first special opening random number acquired by the main control board 1310 based on detecting the game ball received in the first starting opening 2002 by the first starting opening sensor 2104, and the second starting opening sensor 2551 And the second special random number acquired by the main control board 1310 based on the detection of the game ball accepted by the second starting port 2004 by the special symbol (the first special symbol, the second special symbol). The change display of special symbols (first special symbol and second special symbol) is suspended until the variable display of symbols can be started. The maximum number of the first special random number and the second special random number that can be stored in the main control board 1310 is up to four, respectively. Even if the ball is accepted, it is discarded without holding. This suppresses an increase in the burden on the gaming hall due to accumulation of reservations. Further, the first special random number and the second special random number stored in the main control board 1310 are digested with priority given to the second special random number. That is, regardless of the timing at which game balls are accepted into the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, if the second special random number is stored and the start of the change display of the second special symbol is suspended, the first special random number is stored. The variable display of the second special symbol is executed prior to the symbol.

  This special lottery result is indicated by the function display unit 1400 (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) and the main liquid crystal display 1600 (the sub liquid crystal display 3114 may also be used). The function display unit 1400 is directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest a special lottery result. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 is made by repeatedly turning on and off the eight LEDs constituting the special symbol display (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) for a predetermined time. It blinks, then stops in a predetermined lighting mode, and suggests a special lottery result by a combination of LEDs that are lit at the time of the stop.

  On the other hand, in the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the peripheral control board 1510 is indirectly controlled based on a control signal (a fluctuation pattern command, a determination result notification command, etc.) from the main control board 1310, and the special lottery result is displayed by the effect image. Suggestions are made. Specifically, in the main liquid crystal display device 1600, each of a series of decorative symbol rows including a plurality of different symbols is displayed in a plurality of columns (for example, three rows of a left decorative symbol, a middle decorative symbol, and a right decorative symbol). The decorative display of the decorative pattern row is started, and then the display is stopped sequentially (in this example, the decorative display is stopped in the order of the left decorative pattern → the right decorative pattern → the middle decorative pattern), and finally all the decorative pattern rows are stopped. When displayed, the lottery result of the special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) extracted by the combination of the symbols stopped and displayed is suggested to the player side. In other words, a plurality of decorative symbol rows change according to the special lottery results (first special lottery result, second special lottery result) based on the special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) acquired at the time of the start winning prize occurrence. After being displayed, an effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to indicate the special lottery result (first special lottery result, second special lottery result) is displayed. In addition, the decorative design displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1600 is better than the first special design variably displayed on the first special design display and the second special design variably displayed on the second special design display. In general, the player will pay attention to the decorative pattern displayed on the main liquid crystal display device 1600 because it is large and easy to see.

  It should be noted that the time indicating the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (the blinking time of the LED (fluctuation time)) and the time indicating the special lottery result in the main liquid crystal display device 1600 (the symbol row fluctuates and the final image is changed) (The time until is displayed), and the function display unit 1400 is set to a shorter time.

  In addition, on the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to displaying an effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the main liquid crystal display device 1600, the decorative body of the center role object 2500, the back left The interior decoration unit 3050, the rear lower back movable rendering unit 3100, the back upper left movable rendering unit 3200, the back left movable rendering unit 3300, the back upper middle movable rendering unit 3400, and the back lower front movable rendering unit 3500 are appropriately used. It is possible to perform a luminous effect, a movable effect, a display effect, and the like, and the player can be entertained by various effects, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the player's interest in the game.

[5. Various control processing of main control board]
Next, processing executed by the main control board 1310 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. More specifically, a system / user reset process executed when the power of the gaming machine is turned on, and a timer interrupt process executed at a predetermined cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment) by a timer started in the system / user reset process. explain.

[5-1. System / user reset processing]
FIG. 72 and FIG. 73 are flowcharts showing the procedure of the system / user reset processing by the main control board in the embodiment of the present invention.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is powered on, the main control MPU 1311 of the main control board 1310 executes a main control program to perform a system / user reset process. When the system / user reset process is started, the main control MPU 1311 first permits writing in the RAM 1312 (step S10). Specifically, “00H” indicating write permission is output to the RAM protect register.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 starts a watchdog timer (step S12). Specifically, first, “03H” indicating the mode setting is written in the watchdog timer control register, and “03H” indicating the activation of the watchdog timer is written.

  Further, the main control MPU 1311 acquires a power failure notice signal indicating whether or not power is being supplied to the gaming machine 1 (step S14). The power failure warning signal is a signal that is output as a power failure warning from the power failure monitoring circuit when the voltage drops in the event of a power failure or a momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the supply of power is temporarily stopped) and becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage. To obtain the power failure notice signal, the address of the switch input port address 2 indicating the power failure notice signal is set as the input port address, and the port read processing is executed. In the port reading process, when the output signal is not stable (specifically, when the value of the acquired signal does not match the predetermined number of times (3 in this embodiment)), the value of the J flag is set to 1 Is set. Therefore, the port reading process is executed until the value of the J flag becomes 0, and the port data of the input port in the state where the value of the J flag becomes 0 is acquired as a power failure notice signal.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 sets the RAM clear port data as the RWM clear determination value (Step S16). Further, a wait process for waiting for the execution of the process is executed for a predetermined time (step S18). Since the voltage does not rise immediately after the power of the gaming machine is turned on until the predetermined voltage is reached, if the voltage becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage during the period from when the power is turned on to the predetermined voltage, the power failure monitoring circuit A power failure notice signal is input. In the wait process, a predetermined monitoring wait value is set, and the process waits for a predetermined time (for example, 200 milliseconds) while activating the watchdog timer.

  After waiting for a predetermined time by the wait process, the main control MPU 1311 acquires a power failure notice signal, similarly to the process of step S14 (step S20). Then, the acquisition of the power failure notice signal is continued until the power failure notice signal is turned off (1) (step S22).

  If the power failure notice signal is OFF (result of step S22 is “no”), main control MPU 1311 determines whether or not a RAM clear signal has been input (step S24). Specifically, the logical product of the RWM clear determination value set in the process of step S16 and the main RWM erasing signal is calculated, and it is determined whether the result of the logical product is not zero.

  When the RAM clear signal has not been input (the result of step S24 is “no”), the main control MPU 1311 executes a process for returning to the gaming state based on the information held in the RWM (RAM 1312). That is, a power failure recovery process is performed. When the RAM clear signal has been input (the result of step S24 is “yes”), the main control MPU 1311 executes an RWM initialization process (step S34). In the RWM initialization process, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM 1312 is cleared, the initial information is read from the main control built-in ROM 1313, and set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM 1312.

In the power failure recovery processing, the main control MPU 1311 first executes an RWM determination processing for calculating a checksum (step S26). The checksum is for calculating the sum of the game information stored in the main control built-in RAM 1312 as a numerical value. At this time, the storage area for referring to the chuck sum may be limited. Specifically, only the game control area may be targeted, and the debug (inspection function) area may be excluded from the area for calculating the checksum.
Then, the main control MPU 1311 determines whether or not the data held in the RAM 1312 is normal by comparing the calculated checksum value with the value of the checksum area stored before the power failure (Step S <b> 11). S28). When it is determined that the data held in the RAM 1312 is not normal (result of step S28 is “no”), the RWM initialization process is executed (step S34).

  Further, when the data stored in the RAM 1312 is determined to be normal (result of step S28 is “yes”), the main control MPU 1311 sets the backup flag to a value indicating that the backup processing has been executed normally. It is determined whether or not (step S30). The backup flag is a flag indicating whether or not game backup information such as a game information, a checksum value (sum value) and a backup flag value is stored and held in the main control built-in RAM 1312 in a power-off process described later. The value is set to 1 when the processing at the time of power-off is completed normally, and to 0 when the processing at the time of power-off is not completed normally. When the main control MPU 1311 determines that the backup flag is not a value indicating that the backup processing has been executed normally (the result of step S28 is “no”), the main control MPU 1311 executes the RWM initialization processing (step S34). .

  On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1311 determines that the backup flag is a normal value (result of step S30 is “yes”), the main control MPU 1311 sets the RAM work area to a state at the time of power failure (step S32). In the power failure setting processing of the RAM work area, the address of the work area power recovery setting data is set as the setting data address, the data setting processing is executed, and the power recovery information is set in a predetermined area in the RAM work area. I do.

  The main control MPU 1311 executes the initialization of the main control MPU 1311 (CPU) when the power recovery setting of the RAM work area or the RWM initialization processing is executed (step S36). In the initialization of the main control MPU 1311, first, the initialization of the CTC (Counter / Timer Circuit) is performed, and the interruption is permitted. Further, the serial communication port and the test signal output port are initialized. Finally, the hardware random number generation circuit is activated.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a process of setting a power-on command to be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S38). In the power-on command creation processing, the game information is read from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the game information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. To generate a power-on command, a power-on state reference command is set as reference command data, and command addition data corresponding to the generated command is added.

  The power-on command includes a power-on state buffer command and a special symbol / electric accessory operation number command. The power-on state buffer command is a command for notifying the gaming state at the time of return after the power is turned off, and notifies the winning probability of the special lottery and the operation mode of the ordinary electric accessory. On the other hand, the special symbol / electric accessory operation number command notifies the execution status of the special symbol change display.

  After that, the main control MPU 1311 permits execution of interrupt processing including timer interrupt processing (step S40). The initial setting of the gaming machine is completed by the processing from power-on of the gaming machine to step S40 (initial setting means).

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 acquires a power failure notice signal (step S42), and determines whether the power failure notice signal is ON (step S44). If the power failure notice signal is not ON (the result of step S44 is "No"), that is, a random number update process is executed (step S46). In the random number update process of step S46, a random number other than the random number for performing the winning determination mainly in the special lottery or the normal lottery is updated. The random number updating process for making a winning determination in a special lottery or a normal lottery is executed by a timer interrupt process described later. The processing from step S42 to step S46 is executed until the power failure notice signal is detected, and these processings are set as main processing on the main control side (normal means after initial setting).

  On the other hand, when the power failure notice signal is detected (the result of step S44 is “Yes”), the main control MPU 1311 executes a power failure processing (power failure setting means). In the power-off process, a process of backing up data for returning to the state before the power failure occurred is executed. Specifically, first, execution of the interrupt process is prohibited (step S48). As a result, timer interrupt processing described later is not performed, and writing to the main control built-in RAM can be prevented, and rewriting of game information can be protected. Further, the main control MPU 1311 clears the output port (Step S50). Specifically, the power failure clear signal OFF bit data is set to the solenoid / power failure clear / ACK output port.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 calculates a checksum for determining whether or not the data has been normally held at the time of restoration from the power failure (Step S52). Further, the calculation result of the checksum is stored in the checksum area of the RWM (step S54). Further, a value indicating that the backup has been normally performed is stored in the backup flag area as a backup flag (step S56). Thereby, the storage of the game backup information is completed. Finally, writing "01H" indicating write prohibition to the RAM protect register prohibits writing to the RAM 1312 (step S58), and waits until recovery from power failure (infinite loop).

[5-4. Timer interrupt processing]
Next, the timer interrupt processing will be described. The timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed at an interrupt cycle (4 ms in the present embodiment) set in the system / user reset process shown in FIGS. 72 and 73. FIG. 74 is a flowchart showing an example of the timer interrupt process.

  When the timer interrupt process is started, the main control MPU 1311 executes the main control program, first sets RBS (register bank selection flag) of the program status word to 1, and switches the register (step S70). The main control board 1310 according to the present embodiment has a bank 0 and a bank 1, which are switched and used each time a timer interrupt process is executed.

  Next, the main control MPU 1311 executes a switch input process (Step S72). In the switch input process, various signals input to input terminals of various input ports of the main control MPU 1311 are read and stored as input information in an input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. More specifically, detection signals from various sensors for detecting game balls entering a winning opening such as a general winning opening, detection signals from a magnetic detection switch 3024 for detecting an improper act using a magnet, prize ball control processing The payer ACK signal and the like from the payout control board 951 that indicate that the payout control board 951 has normally received the prize ball command transmitted in the above are read and stored in the input information storage area as input information.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 performs a timer update process (Step S74). In the timer updating process, for example, the time during which the special symbol display 1185 is turned on in accordance with the variable display pattern determined in the later-described special symbol and special electric accessory control process, the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol and ordinary electric accessory control process In addition to the time during which the ordinary symbol display 1189 is turned on in accordance with the symbol variation display pattern, a payer ACK signal that indicates that the payout control board 951 has normally received various commands transmitted by the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1311). When determining whether or not an input has been made, time management such as an ACK signal input determination time set as a determination condition is performed. Specifically, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interruption cycle is set to 4 ms. Therefore, every time this timer subtraction processing is performed, the fluctuation time is reduced by 4 ms. When the result of the subtraction becomes 0, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is accurately measured.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a random number update process 1 (Step S76). In the random number update process 1, the big hit determination random number, the big hit symbol random number, and the small hit symbol random number are updated. Further, in addition to these random numbers, the big hit symbol initial value determining random numbers and the small hits which are updated in the non-hitting random number updating process in step S50 in the system / user reset process (main control side main process) shown in the figure. The random number for symbol initial value determination is also updated.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a prize ball control process (Step S78). In the prize ball control process, input information is read from the input information storage area, a prize ball command for paying out game balls is created based on the read input information, and a board of the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951 is used. Create a self-check command to check the connection status between them. The main control MPU 1311 transmits the created award ball command and self-check command to the payout control board 951 as main payment serial data.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a frame command receiving process (Step S80). The payout control board 951 transmits various 1-byte (8-bit) commands (for example, a frame state 1 command, an error release navigation command, and a frame state 2 command) that are classified into state displays by the payout control program. On the other hand, as described later, the payout control program outputs an error occurrence command when an error occurs in the payout operation, or outputs an error release notification command based on a detection signal of the operation switch. In the frame command receiving process, when various commands are normally received as payer serial data, information to that effect is sent to the payout control board 951 and stored as output information in the output information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition, the main control MPU 1311 shapes a command normally received as payer serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (for example, a frame state display command, an error release notification command, and the like), and transmits the above-described transmission information as transmission information. The information is stored in the information storage area.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a fraud detection process (step S82). In the fraud detection processing, an abnormal state related to the prize ball is confirmed. For example, when the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area and the count switch 2110 detects that a game ball has entered the special winning opening 2005 or 2006 when the jackpot game state is not established, the main control is performed. The program creates a prize abnormality display command which is classified into the notification display as the abnormal state, and stores the command in the transmission information storage area described above as the transmission information.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a special symbol and special electric accessory control process (step S84). In the special symbol and special electric accessory control process, it is determined whether or not the random number for big hit matches a hit determination value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM. Further, it is determined whether or not to shift to the probability variation state based on the big hit symbol random number value. Then, when the certainty change condition is satisfied, the game state is shifted to the probability change state, and when the certainty change condition is not satisfied, the game state is changed to a game state other than the certainty change state. Here, the “probability variation state” refers to a state (high-probability state) in which the winning probability of the special lottery described above is set relatively higher than that in the normal gaming state (low-probability state).

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a normal symbol and normal electric accessory control process (step S86). In the normal symbol and normal electric accessory control process, the input information is read from the input information storage area described above, and it is determined whether or not the detection signal from the gate switch 2352 has been input to the input terminal. If the detection signal has been input to the input terminal, a normal symbol hit determination random number is extracted, and it is determined whether or not the random number matches a normal symbol hit determination value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM ("" Usually called lottery). Then, it is determined whether or not to open and close the second starting port door member 2549 according to the lottery result of the normal lottery. When the opening / closing operation is performed according to this determination, the second starting port door member 2549 is opened, so that the starting port 2004 is in a game state in which game balls can be accepted, and the game state is shifted to a game state that is advantageous to the player.

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes an output setting process (Step S88). In the output setting processing, output information is read from the output information storage area described above from output terminals of various output ports of the main control MPU 1311 and various signals are output based on the output information. For example, when the reception of various commands from the payout control board 951 is normally completed from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1311, the main payout ACK signal is output to the payout control board 951, or when the big hit game state is established. A drive signal is output to an attacker solenoid (a first attacker solenoid 2113, a second upper attacker solenoid 2553, a second lower attacker solenoid 2556) for opening and closing the opening / closing member 2107 of the special winning opening 2005 or 2006, or a second starting port. In addition to outputting a drive signal to the starting port solenoid 2550 that opens and closes the door member 2549, it also outputs various information (game information) signals related to the game to the payout control board 951.

  In the output setting process, a test signal to be output to an inspection device connected to the gaming machine is set. The test signal includes, for example, a signal indicating a game state, a signal indicating a normal symbol, and a symbol indicating a stop symbol of a special symbol (information signal output means).

  Subsequently, the main control MPU 1311 executes a peripheral control board command transmission process (Step S90). In the peripheral control board command transmission processing, transmission information such as a command and data is read from the transmission information storage area described above, and the transmission information is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as main serial data. The transmission information stores various commands created in the timer interrupt processing of this routine. In the main circumference serial data, one packet is composed of three bytes. Specifically, the main serial data has a status indicating a command type having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), a mode indicating a variation of an effect having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), and a status. And a sum value calculated by assuming the mode as a numerical value, and this sum value is created at the time of transmission.

  Finally, the main control MPU 1311 sets a predetermined value (18H) in the watchdog timer clear register WCL (step S92). When a predetermined value is set in the watchdog timer clear register WCL, the watchdog timer clear register WCL is set to clear. When the above processing ends, the timer interrupt processing ends, and the processing returns to the processing before the interruption.

[6. Configuration of Storage Area]
Next, the arrangement of programs and data stored in the ROM 1313 will be described. FIG. 75 is a diagram showing an example of the arrangement of programs (codes) and data stored in the ROM 1313 incorporated in the main control MPU 1311 of the main control board 1310.

  The ROM 1313 includes areas for storing game control codes, game control data, debug (inspection function) codes, and debug (inspection function) data. In the ROM 1313 of the present embodiment, a game control area (first storage area) for storing programs and data related to the gaming machine, such as game control codes and game control data, and a debug (inspection function) code and a debug (inspection) code Function) A debug (inspection function) area (second storage area) for storing a program or data used for the purpose of outputting a signal such as data necessary for debugging (inspection function) of the gaming machine is assigned. In the debug (inspection function) area, programs and data which are not directly related to the game are stored. For example, various function inspection signals used only at the time of debugging of the game machine other than the game control of the game machine are used. Is stored. These debug (inspection function) codes are programs for outputting a debug (inspection function) signal.

  The game control code is executed by the main control MPU 1311. The game control code can be read and written to and from the RAM 1312 as appropriate, but only the read (debugging function) code can be executed from the debug (inspection function) code in the area of the RAM 1312 used in the game control code. The configuration is such that writing to the area cannot be executed. The process based on the debug (inspection function) code can be unilaterally called and executed during execution of the game control code, but the game control code is called from the debug (inspection function) code. It is configured so that it cannot be executed. As a result, the independence of the debugging (inspection function) code can be enhanced, so that even if the game control code is changed, the modification of the debugging (inspection function) code can be minimized.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the code for debugging (inspection function) is allocated to a dedicated area (debug (inspection function) area) other than the area where the game control program and data are stored. Thus, it is not necessary to change the arrangement of the code for the debug (inspection function) area in accordance with the change of the game control code, so that the development efficiency can be improved.

In the game using the slot machine 4000, when the player operates the start lever 4210 with the number of medals determined, the reels 4301a, 4301b, and 4301c rotate, and thereafter, the player stops the reels by pressing the reel stop buttons 4211a, 4211b, and 4211c. Is operated, the corresponding reels 4301a, 4301b, and 4301c are stopped and controlled. When all the reels 4301a, 4301b, and 4301c are stopped, the game result is determined from the combination of symbols on the activated line, and the game result is determined as necessary. In accordance therewith, a prescribed number of medals corresponding to the corresponding winning combination are awarded.

  As described above, each reel 4301a, 4301b, 4301c is provided with a reel band on which a pattern is drawn. Then, when all the reels 4301a, 4301b, and 4301c are stopped, a symbol corresponding to a predetermined winning combination is determined based on display contents (combination of symbols displayed on the activated lines) displayed in the symbol display window 4401. It is determined whether the combination mode (symbol combination) is displayed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the combination mode of the symbol corresponding to the predetermined winning combination is displayed on the above-mentioned activated line in the symbol display window 4401. It is determined whether a symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is displayed on each of the plurality of activated lines. As a result, when it is determined that the symbol combinations of a plurality of winning combinations are displayed, medals are paid out in a total number of the payout numbers corresponding to the displayed winning combinations.

[7-3. Configuration of Storage Area]
Subsequently, a storage area provided by the ROM 4602 and the RAM 4603 provided on the main board 4600 will be described. The storage area of the pachinko machine has been schematically described with reference to FIG. 75, but has the same configuration as that of the slot machine 4000 shown in FIGS. 79 to 81. FIG. 79 shows details of an access area in the game control of the slot machine 4000 and a ROM area 5100 which is a storage area corresponding to the ROM 4602 in the present embodiment.

  The storage area in the present embodiment is provided by a medium such as the ROM 4602 and the RAM 4603, and is provided as one access area to which addresses from “0000H” to “FFFFH” are assigned. The access area according to the present embodiment is divided into predetermined areas corresponding to the medium that provides the access area, and includes a ROM area 5100, a RAM area 5200, an I / O area 5300, and a parameter information setting area 5400. Have been. Note that each area does not necessarily have to correspond to a medium that provides an access area, and a plurality of media may provide one area, or one medium may provide a plurality of areas.

  With the access area of the present embodiment configured as described above, the CPU 4601 can access programs and data without being conscious of the medium that actually provides the access area by specifying an address. Hereinafter, details of the access area will be described.

[7-3-1. ROM area]
First, the configuration of the ROM area 5100 will be described. ROM area 5100 corresponds to a storage area provided by ROM 4602. The ROM 4602 is a non-volatile storage medium in which stored contents are retained even when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, and the stored data can be read out, but can be updated or deleted. Is not possible. Note that the ROM 4602 may be a non-volatile storage medium, and data stored in the ROM area 5100 may be updated.

  The addresses from “0000H” to “1FFFH” are assigned to the ROM area 5100. The CPU 4601 can access data stored in the ROM 4602 by designating the address “0000H” to “1FFFH”.

  The ROM area 5100 includes a first control area, a first isolated area, a first data area, a second control area, a second isolated area, a second data area, and a third isolated area. A start address and an end address are set in each area.

  The first control area is a game control area in which a program for performing game control and the like are stored. The first data area is a game data area in which data necessary for performing game control is stored. That is, the game stored in the first control area is executed, and the game control is performed while referring to the data stored in the first data area. Note that an area (first control area, first data area) used for game control is a game control area (first storage area).

  The second control area stores a program for debugging (functional inspection) the control program and the like. The second data area is an area for storing data for performing debugging (function inspection). Note that the second data area is not necessarily required, and data for debugging may be stored in the second control area. It should be noted that an area (second control area, second data area) for storing a program and data for debugging (functional inspection) of the game control program without being used for game control is set as a debugging (functional inspection) area ( (Second storage area).

  The first isolated area, the second isolated area, and the third isolated area are areas allocated between the control area and the data area, and are areas where access is prohibited. In the processing by the CPU 4601, when the isolated area is accessed, the reset processing is forcibly executed. The first isolated area, the second isolated area, and the third isolated area are areas that are continuous with the preceding and succeeding areas. For example, the start address of the first isolated area is the address next to the end address of the first control area (“ 0A00H ”), and the end address of the first isolated area is the address immediately before the first data area (“ 0AFFH ”). The third isolation area is located between the game control area and the debug (function test) area. In FIG. 79, the third isolation area is treated as the game control area. It may be treated as.

[7-3-2. RAM area]
Next, the configuration of the RAM area 5200 will be described. FIG. 80 is a diagram showing details of the RAM area 5200 in the present embodiment. RAM area 5200 corresponds to a storage area provided by RAM 4603. The RAM 4603 is a volatile storage medium from which stored contents are erased when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, and enables reading and writing of stored data. The RAM area 5200 temporarily stores programs and data stored in the ROM area 5100 and stores data derived by executing the programs. Note that the RAM 4603 only needs to be able to read and write data, and may be a nonvolatile storage medium. Further, when a power failure occurs, the data stored in the RAM 4603 can be retained for a predetermined period by the backup power supply.

  The RAM area 5200 has addresses from “3000H” to “31FFH”. The CPU 4601 can access the data stored in the RAM 4603 by designating the addresses “3000H” to “31FFH”.

  The RAM area 5200 includes a game control work area, a debug (inspection function) work area, a save area, and an isolated area. A start address and an end address are set in each area.

  The game control work area is a work area (temporary area) used when executing game control (first control). The work area for debugging (inspection function) is a work area used when executing debug control (second control) of a program. The work area for debugging (inspection function) does not necessarily need to have a dedicated work area, and a work area for game control may be used. ) Work area. In this case, the independence between the game control area and the debug (inspection function) control area is reduced. However, if the program configuration does not use the work area for debugging (inspection function), it is not always necessary to use the work area for debugging (inspection function).

  The save area is an area in which data used in game control or debug (inspection function) control is temporarily stored in order to save the data. For example, when an interrupt occurs and a predetermined process is executed, before executing the predetermined process, the values of various registers of the CPU (operation register, flag register, stack pointer, etc.) are copied to a save area, After the processing is completed, the copied value is returned to various registers of the CPU. The evacuation area may be used in common for game control and debugging (inspection function), but may be separately used for game control and debugging (inspection function), similarly to the work area. Thereby, the game control and the debug (inspection function) control can maintain more independence.

  The isolation area is allocated between the game control work area and the debug (inspection function) work area, and between the debug (inspection function) work area and the save area. It is a continuous area. For example, the start address of the isolation area between the game control work area and the debug (inspection function) work area is the next address (“3076H”) after the end address of the game control work area, and the end address is This is the address ("307FH") immediately before the work area for debugging (inspection function). In addition, the isolated area is an area where access is prohibited, and is configured to forcibly execute reset processing when accessed in the processing by the CPU 4601.

[7-3-3. Configuration of I / O Area]
Subsequently, the I / O area 5300 will be described. Input / output ports correspond to the I / O area 5300, and the CPU 4601 can access the input / output ports by accessing the I / O area 5300. The input / output port corresponds to, for example, a port related to input of a switch or the like, or a port related to output of a special winning opening solenoid, an LED drive signal, or the like. The setting of the input / output port (setting regarding use / non-use such as input setting and output setting) is set based on the setting value of the parameter information setting area 5400.

[7-3-4. Parameter information setting area]
Next, the parameter information setting area 5400 will be described. FIG. 81 is a diagram illustrating details of the parameter information setting area 5400 according to the present embodiment. The parameter information setting area 5400 is an area where various settings can be made. For example, as shown in FIG. 81, the various settings include the start / end addresses of each control area and data area. An area other than the area set here is an unused (unset) area. Thereby, when the CPU 4601 accesses an unused area, a reset signal is forcibly input to the CPU 4601. In FIG. 81, continuous areas are set, but the areas need not be continuous as set areas. For example, parameters may be grouped and arranged at predetermined intervals.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when an area other than the setting area (the first to third isolated areas of the ROM 5100 and the isolated area of the RAM 5200) is accessed, a reset is forcibly generated. Therefore, an initial start of the program can be performed by causing a reset by intentionally accessing the isolated area. In the slot machine, since the processing is sequentially executed, the initial setting can be executed again by executing the program from the start-up processing by accessing the isolated area after the final game processing is completed. Thereby, even if the function of the initial setting is set to a value different from the set value due to noise or the like during the game, it is possible to reset the normal value by executing the initial setting again. Further, in the initial setting process, the RAM clear is determined based on the power interruption flag. However, it is possible to forcibly generate the RAM clear by accessing the isolated area without setting the power interruption flag. Become. On the other hand, in the above-mentioned pachinko machines, the game is played in parallel, so if the game itself is initialized, the game cannot be continued, but in the case of the slot machine, it becomes unnecessary after the game is over. Since it is necessary to initialize the information in the RAM, the process for initializing the information in the RAM can be made unnecessary by accessing the isolated area.

  The values set in the parameter information setting area 5400 are not sequentially set by the user program processing such as the initial setting of the CPU 4601. Instead, the address and the set value of the parameter area are set in the ROM 4602 separately from the program. Before the CPU 4601 starts the control program at the time of startup, the parameter information set in the ROM 4602 is sequentially set in each function setting register of the CPU. Thus, various parameters can be set when the power of the gaming machine is turned on. The set values of various parameters are set in the ROM 4602 in which a game control program is stored for information managed (determined) by the user.

[7-4. Game control]
[7-4-1. System reset startup processing]
Subsequently, control of the slot machine of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 82 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a system reset activation process executed when slot machine 4000 is reset. The system reset activation process is a process that is executed when the power of the slot machine 4000 is turned on or a power failure occurs, and is a process that is activated when a reset signal is input to the CPU 4601.

  When the system reset activation process is started, the CPU 4601 first executes a parameter setting process for setting various parameters required for executing a game (step S1010). Specifically, the setting value stored in the parameter information setting area 5400 included in the storage area is set in each function setting register of the CPU 4601, and the address of each area assigned to the access area is set as the setting value. By setting the address of each area as a set value, for example, a work area or a save area is allocated as a used area in the RAM area 5200, and an area not allocated as a used area (an isolated area in FIG. 80) is set as an unused area. Assigned. Further, the work area and the save area are divided into a game control area and a debug (inspection function) area (or other uses). In the ROM area 5300, similarly to the RAM area 5200, an area for storing programs and data is allocated as a used area, and an area not allocated as a used area is allocated as an unused area.

  Next, the CPU 4601 executes a security check process (step S1012). The security check process is a process of determining whether the data stored in the ROM 4602 is normal data. If the data stored in the ROM 4602 is not normal data, the activation of the slot machine 4000 is stopped because, for example, the ROM 4602 may have been replaced with an incorrect ROM. Further, the CPU 4601 waits until the time required for the security check elapses (step S1014).

  The processing from the power-on of the slot machine to the end of the security check (processing up to step S1014) is not processing defined by the user program, but processing configured by hardware in the CPU that cannot be changed by the developer. It has become.

  Subsequently, the CPU 4601 executes a device initialization setting process for performing initialization (step S1016). In the device initialization setting process, a process such as a startup setting of a periodic process (FIG. 83, timer interrupt process) for periodically executing a predetermined process is executed. In the present embodiment, a function for preventing settings related to the lottery of a game, such as a setting of a random number function, from being rewritten by a user program after a security check is executed in a parameter setting process, and other than these functions, a device initialization setting process is performed. Running on By dividing the initialization of the CPU 4601 into the parameter setting process and the device initialization setting process in this way, the degree of freedom of the game control is increased and the illegality is hardly performed in the game.

  Further, the CPU 4601 determines whether or not to initialize the RAM 4603 (step S1018). In the processing of step S1018, it is determined whether to perform a cold start for initializing the RAM 4603 or a hot start for returning to the game with the contents of the backed-up RAM 4603.

  When performing a cold start for initializing the RAM 4603 (the result of step S1018 is “Yes”), the CPU 4601 executes an initialization process for initializing the RAM 4603 (step S1020). The cold start is performed when a setting change operation of the gaming machine is performed, when an abnormality occurs in the contents of the RAM 4603, or when the power interruption flag is not set.

  On the other hand, when performing a hot start for returning to the game based on the contents of the RAM 4603 (the result of step S1018 is “No”), the CPU 4601 executes a process of returning the game based on the backed-up contents of the RAM 4603. (Step S1022). At this time, the process returns to the process interrupted at the time of power failure by the return process. Specifically, in any one of Steps S1024 to S1038 of the system reset activation process described later or Steps S1110 to S1130 of the periodic process (FIG. 83), the process is returned to the process interrupted at the time of power interruption.

  In the slot machine 2000 according to the present embodiment, a checksum is calculated based on the information stored in the RAM 4603 when a power failure occurs and when a return process is performed. At this time, the game control work, excluding the debug (inspection function) work area, of the entire area used as the work for which the checksum is to be calculated (work area for game control and work area for debugging (inspection function)) is used. Only the area may be used. The reason for calculating the checksum only in the game control work area is that the debug (inspection function) process is designed to maintain independence from the game control process, and that the game result is affected. Since there is no processing, there may be some bugs due to insufficient verification. In this case, a work area for debugging (inspection function) that holds information obtained by performing such processing is considered. Using the checksum as a calculation target may impair the reliability of normal recovery from power interruption. On the other hand, since the game control processing is directly related to the game, if it is mounted on a product with a bug or the like remaining, a serious trouble will occur in the market. In some cases, sales may be discontinued and the product may need to be recalled. In this case, it is extremely likely to cause enormous cost and other damages to manufacturers and halls, so thoroughgoing. This is because the game control work area has higher reliability than the debug (inspection function) work area, because the verification is performed in an efficient manner.

  Upon completion of the initialization process or a series of games, the CPU 4601 executes a game initial setting process to start a new game (step S1024). In the game initial setting process, a process of temporarily returning information of the RAM 4603 that is no longer necessary for performing a series of game controls to the initial setting state is executed.

  When the game initial setting process ends, the CPU 4601 executes an information signal 1 output process for outputting a debug (inspection function) signal at the start of the game (step S1026). In the information signal 1 output processing, processing such as setting a debug (inspection function) signal to an initial state is performed. In the information signal output process, information signal 1 to N output processes are defined, and a necessary module is called at the timing of outputting the information signal. For example, when a debug (inspection function) signal (information on the start of rotation of the reel, the ON of the start lever, and the winning combination) accompanying the game start is output in the game start processing, the debug (the information on stop of each reel) in the symbol stop processing is performed. Inspection function) When a signal (stop operation signal, stopped symbol information, etc.) is output, a debug (inspection function) signal related to the fixed position in the winning determination process (fixed position stopped and displayed on each reel, payout accompanying the fixed position) When outputting the number information and output signal information (number of payout medals) related to the number of payouts at the time of payout, an “information signal N output process” module required for the process is appropriately called and executed.

  Subsequently, the CPU 4601 executes a standby process of performing a process at a stage before the player operates the starting lever 4210 (step S1028). Before operating the start lever 4210, for example, it is determined whether or not an instruction to execute a replay (replay) has been made, whether or not medals have been inserted, whether or not medals have been cleared, and the like. Confirmation of game setting values and the like are performed.

  When start lever 4210 is operated, CPU 4601 executes a game start process for starting a game (step S1030). In the game start process, a random value for performing a lottery of a game is obtained, a winning combination is determined, and the rotation of the reel 4301 is started. Thereafter, the CPU 4601 executes a Wait process for waiting until the reel 4301 reaches the normal rotation speed (step S1032).

  When the reel 4301 reaches the normal rotation speed, the CPU 4601 executes a symbol stop process for enabling the input of the reel stop button 4211 and performing a process until all the reels 4301 stop (step S1034).

  Further, when all the reels 4301 are stopped, the CPU 4601 executes a winning determination process for determining a winning combination based on the stopped symbols (step S1036). In the winning determination process, a winning combination is determined, and when it is determined that a winning is achieved, a setting corresponding to the winning combination is performed, and a setting for executing a payout process corresponding to the winning combination is performed.

  Finally, the CPU 4601 executes a game termination process for performing a process at the time of terminating the game (step S1038). In the game ending process, a payout process corresponding to the winning combination is executed, and if no prize has been won, or if the prize has no payout, the process is skipped. When the game ending process ends, the process returns to the game initial setting process, and executes a main loop process from step S1024 to step S1038.

[7-4-2. Periodic processing]
Next, a description will be given of a periodic process which is an interrupt process started at a predetermined cycle while the main loop process of the system reset initial start process is being executed. FIG. 83 is a flowchart illustrating the procedure of the periodic process.

  When the periodic processing is executed, the CPU 4601 first saves the values stored in all the registers (step S1110). At this time, the saved data is stored in the game control save area shown in FIG. As described above, the periodic process is an interrupt process that is started while the main loop process is being executed. Therefore, by saving the register of the CPU used in the main loop process, the process can be continued after the return. Need to be

  Subsequently, the CPU 4601 resets a watchdog timer built in the CPU (step S1112). As a result, the watchdog timer can be cleared periodically.

  Next, the CPU 4601 executes a switch input process of sampling input signals from various switches (step S1114). Further, a game state check process is executed (step S1116). In the game state check processing, processing relating to drive control of a driving body (stepping motor) that rotates the reel 4301 is performed. Specifically, pulse output of the stepping motor, detection of the origin position, and the like are performed.

  Subsequently, the CPU 4601 executes a timer measurement process for updating various timers used in the game control (step S1118). Since the periodic processing is executed periodically, the set time is the execution interval of the periodic processing × the set number of times. The CPU 4601 executes an LED output process for controlling the LED (Step S1120). The control target LED is controlled by the main board 4600, and is, for example, a payout number display LED 4562.

  The CPU 4601 executes an information output process of outputting a signal to the external relay terminal plate 4131 (Step S1122). The output signal is transmitted to the hall computer 4800 via the external relay terminal plate 4131. Further, CPU 4601 outputs the command stored in the command buffer to effect control board 4700 (step S1124).

  The CPU 4601 executes a random number update process for updating a random number used for the game (Step S1126). In the random number update process, a random number to be generated by software processing is updated. Here, in addition to the random numbers generated only by software, a process of updating soft random numbers built in the CPU is executed. In the case of the soft random number built in the CPU, the count itself is executed by hardware, but the trigger of the update is determined by this processing. With this configuration, it is possible to reduce the number of program processes related to random number updating.

  When the random number update process ends, the CPU 4601 performs a process for returning to the interrupted process (main loop process). Specifically, the value of the register saved in the process of step S1110 is restored (step S1128). Further, execution of an interrupt is permitted (step S1130). During the execution of the periodic processing (timer interrupt processing), even if a new timer interrupt occurs, the new timer interrupt is suspended, and the immediately preceding timer interrupt processing is normally completed and the interrupt is enabled. Is to be executed. For this reason, it is configured such that the periodic processing (timer interrupt processing) is not executed in a multiplex manner.

[7-4-3. Information signal output processing]
Subsequently, an information signal output process executed in a system reset activation process or the like will be described. The information signal output processing is provided according to each function (1 to N) of the output signal, and is configured by a plurality of modules. For example, there are “condition device output signal (signal output related to condition device operation)”, “lottery determination process (signal output related to lottery)”, etc. Although the signals to be output are different, the configuration of each information output process is basically 84 is the same, and the description of each flow is omitted, and Fig. 84 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the information signal output process of this embodiment.

  When the information signal output process is started, the CPU 4601 first saves the values of all registers of the CPU (step S1210). This is to prevent the values set in the registers from being destroyed by executing the information signal output processing (to ensure that the values are restored even if they are destroyed), and to save the values of all registers to the stack area. It is made to let. Further, the stack area used at this time is allocated to a debug (inspection function) save area, and is assigned to a different area separated from the game control save area.

  Subsequently, the CPU 4601 acquires, from the RAM 4603, information to be referred to for selecting (ON / OFF) an information signal to be output (a signal for debugging (inspection function)) (step S1212). In each information signal output process, only data stored in the RAM 4603 is referred to, and data is not written to the RAM 4603 during the process. If writing is necessary, information is output to a debug (inspection function) work area. A dedicated work is provided so that the work is not used (including reference) in processing other than the information signal output processing. Thereby, even if the program for executing the information signal output processing is arranged in a different place from the other game control programs, the independence from the other game control programs can be secured without using the common area. .

  Next, the CPU 4601 generates an information signal to be output based on the information obtained in the processing of Step S1212 (Step S1214), and outputs the generated signal to a corresponding port (Step S1216). Furthermore, it waits until the information signal output time, which is the time for maintaining the output signal, elapses (step S1218). The information signal output time is determined in advance, and by setting a sufficient time, a debugging (inspection function) signal can be reliably transmitted to the transmission destination. Thereafter, the values of all the registers saved in the processing of step S1210 are restored (S1220), and this processing ends.

  As described above, the information signal (debug (inspection function) signal) is generated and output in the processing from step S1210 to step S1220. Then, the processes from step S1210 to step S1220 are executed for the output of the debugging (inspection function) signal. Different types and numbers of signals are output for each function (1 to N) of the output signal. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of information signal output processes are configured for each function. However, a table defining output signals corresponding to the functions is stored in the debug (inspection function) area in the fourth area. The information signal output processing may be made common by preparing the two data areas and selecting and outputting a signal corresponding to the function specified by the caller.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a program (signal output program) for executing information signal output processing and the like is stored in an area clearly distinguished from an area for storing a game control program (game control area). By providing an area (area for debugging (inspection function)), a program for debugging (inspection function) of a gaming machine can be independently arranged. The signal output program is used for the purpose of debugging (testing) the gaming machine and is a process that does not affect the result of the game, and does not impair the fairness of the game. For other purposes (for example, to arrange a game control program or a general-purpose program to compensate for a shortage of the capacity of the game control area), the program is not arranged in the debug (inspection function) area. It has become.

  The signal output program is executed after being statically called from the game control program. At this time, the address of the call destination is specified. Furthermore, the signal output program is modularized for each function, and when called, protects all registers used in the game control area. Also, as described above, when the program processing of the game control area is being executed, access to the debug (inspection function) work area is prohibited, and the program processing of the debug (inspection function) area is executed. In this case, only the reference to the game control work area is permitted, and writing is prohibited. Further, it is configured to prohibit calling a module (including a subroutine) arranged in the game control area from the debug (inspection function) area. The program arranged in the debugging (inspection function) area including the signal output program is always called in a subroutine form, and after the subroutine is completed, the program is returned immediately after the calling by a return instruction. The modules stored in the debug (inspection function) area are configured for each purpose. With this configuration, the execution of the game control program is not affected by the execution of the signal output program (the program arranged in the debug (inspection function) area).

  With the configuration described above, it is possible to prevent the arrangement of the signal output program and the like from being changed in accordance with the change in the game control program, and it is possible to suppress a reduction in development efficiency.
