In addition, the ROM stores various data tables and the like used for controlling the rendering operation, in addition to the rendering control program.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the passing of the game ball through the passage gate 41 provided in the game area 10, the ordinary symbol game by the ordinary symbol display 20 is started. After starting the fluctuation of the normal symbol, the predetermined time that is the normal symbol fluctuation time elapses, and if the normal symbol other than the symbol per normal symbol is stopped and displayed, the normal symbol fluctuation display result is `` Normal symbol loss '' Become. When a specific ordinary symbol (a symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the fluctuation display result of the ordinary symbol becomes "an ordinary symbol", and the enlarged opening control (tilt control) of the ordinary variable winning prize ball device 6B is performed. When the time elapses, the normal opening control that returns to the vertical position is performed.

  After the first starting condition is satisfied by the game ball winning the first starting winning opening or the like, the first starting condition is satisfied by, for example, the end of the last special map game or the big hit game state. Then, the special figure game using the first special symbol display 4A is started. In addition, after the second starting condition is established due to the game ball winning the second starting winning opening or the like, the second starting condition is established due to, for example, the end of the last special map game or the big hit game state. Based on this, a special figure game using the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special figure game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, when the variable display time elapses, the determined special symbol (special figure display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, the result is a "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, "miss". After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to a big hit game state as a specific game state in which a round (also called “round game”) advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit gaming state, the special winning prize opening device door of the special variable prize ball device 7 has a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of prize balls. During the period until the event occurs, the special winning opening is kept open. As a result, a round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is placed in a first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player is executed.

  The special winning opening door which has the special winning opening opened during the execution of the round receives the game ball falling on the surface of the gaming board 2 and thereafter closes the special winning opening, thereby providing a special variable winning prize ball device. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, the variation display of the effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special figure game. Then, during the period from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol to the end of the variable display, the variable display state of the effect symbol may reach a predetermined reach state.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as a “non-probable variable big hit combination”) of a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “non-probable variable big hit”. , The state is controlled to the big hit state, and after that, the time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the fluctuation display time (special figure fluctuation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving control, a so-called electric chew support, in which the winning frequency of the ordinary symbol is increased and the winning frequency of the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the special figure game is executed after the end of the big hit game state, and one of the conditions that the variable display result is “big hit” is satisfied first. Sometimes, it should be finished.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, a determined effect symbol that is a predetermined probability variable jackpot combination (also referred to as a “variable probability jackpot combination”) among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations is stopped and displayed, and the variable display result is “probability variable jackpot”. If it does, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after that, the probability variation control (probable variation control) is performed together with the time saving control. By performing the certainty change control, the probability that the change display result is “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. Probable change control is performed when the change display result becomes "big hit" and the condition of controlling the game to the big hit game state is satisfied after the big hit game state ends, and the predetermined number of times (e.g. When the special map game is executed, the probability change control is ended by the probability change lottery executed each time the special map game is started after the big hit game state is ended, and "determinate change has fall" is determined. It may end at time, etc.

  When the time reduction control is performed, the control for reducing the variation time of the ordinary symbol (the ordinary symbol variation time) in the ordinary symbol game is shorter than that in the normal state, and the variation display result of the ordinary symbol in each ordinary symbol game is changed to “ The control for improving the probability of "hit" than in the normal state, and the tilt control time for performing the tilt control of the movable wing piece in the ordinary variable prize ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "common figure hit", The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control to make it longer than in the normal state and control to increase the number of tilts than in the normal state, and the second start condition can be satisfied. Controls (electric power support control, high opening control) that are advantageous to the player by increasing the performance are performed.

It suffices that frictional resistance is generated by contact with C11 so that movement becomes difficult.

  In addition, in these modified examples 2 and 3, the form in which the board-side connector KCN1 and the screw N3 are used as the restricting portion provided on the presentation board 40 has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as it is provided, the present invention is not limited to the board-side connector and the screw, and other electronic components (for example, a CPU, a ROM, a ROM socket, a radiating fin, a radiating fan, and a capacitor) directly provided on the rendering board 40. And the like, a cable C11 (see FIG. 5B) provided indirectly via a board-side connector KCN11 provided on the presentation board 40, and a ROM detachably provided in a socket.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, the disconnection preventing means is provided on a member separate from the effect substrates 40 and 315 and the cover members 402 and 313, or the connection state is set separately from the covering. By simply covering the effect boards 40 and 315 with the cover members 402 and 313 without performing the processing for preventing the release, the cables C1, C10 and C11 and the board side connectors KCN1, KCN10 and KCN11 are provided by the connection release preventing means. Since the release of the connection state of the cables C1, C10, and C11 can be prevented from being released without reducing the manufacturing cost and labor.

  Further, the disconnection prevention means shown in FIG. 2 abuts on the wiring side connector HCN1 of the cable C1 connected to the board side connector KCN1, and the connection state of the wiring side connector HCN1 with the board side connector KCN1 is released. Since the restricting portions 411a and 411b restrict the movement in the direction, even if an external force acts in a direction in which the connection state is released, an unreasonable load is not applied to the wiring, so that disconnection and the like can be suppressed. .

  The disconnection preventing means is provided on one of the cover and the circuit board (for example, the cover member 402 / cover member 313), and the cables C1 / C10 and C11 are connected to the other (for example, the effect board 40 / the effect board 315). ), So that the cables C1 / C10 and C11 are preferably moved in the direction in which the connection state is released by the pressing part (for example, the wiring pressing part 420 / the wiring pressing part 331) that presses the cable C1 / C10 and C11. Can be suppressed.

  The cover for covering the circuit board has a base member 401 as a first member and a cover member 402 as a second member, and the effect substrate is formed by assembling the base member 401 and the cover member 402. By providing a board case (for example, board case 400 / board case 400A / board case 400B / board case 400C) that can accommodate 40, rendering board 40 can be suitably protected.

  Further, the cover (for example, the cover member 402 / the cover member 313) is provided on the circuit board (for example, the production board 40 / the production board) so that the wiring (for example, the cable C1 / cable C10, C11) cannot be touched from the outside. By covering 315), it is possible to prevent a member outside the cover member 402 / cover member 313 from contacting the cable C1 / cables C10 and C11 and releasing the connection state.

  In the present embodiment, the cover member 402 / cover member 313 covers the effect board 40 / effect board 315 so that the cable C1 / cables C10 and C11 cannot be touched from the outside. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is not limited, and as long as it is a cover for covering the circuit board, even if it is not necessarily configured to be able to touch the wiring from the outside, for example, an opening or a hole is formed. May be.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 to 3, the form in which the effect boards 40 and 315 are applied as an example of the circuit board has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect control board is not limited thereto. Other effect boards connected to the main board (for example, effect board 304, LED board, relay board, etc.) may be used, or various boards connected to the main board may be applied. In addition, the form in which the cover members 402 and 313 are applied as the covering body for covering the circuit board is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. A lens member or the like that diffuses the light may also function as a cover that covers the circuit board.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the effect unit 500 includes a base 600 arranged between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5 so as to be invisible to a player. The second effect motor 511 for rotating the movable body 501A is attached to a connecting arm 502 extending toward the left and right portions of the base 600, and the second effect motor 511 is provided. By rotating, the movable body 501A rotates in parallel with the display surface of the effect display device 5 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The movable body 501B is attached to the connection arm 502, and is disposed between the movable body 501A and the connection arm 502.

  The ends 503L and 503R of the connecting arm 502 are supported by guide rails 505L and 505R provided on the left and right front surfaces of the base 600 along the vertical direction so as to be movable in the vertical direction. That is, the movable bodies 501A and 501B are guided movably in the vertical direction along the guide rails 505L and 505R. Further, an extension 504 extending further leftward than the end 503L is provided at the left end 503L of the connection arm 502.

  One end of a wire 508 is connected to the right end 503R of the connection arm 502. The wire 508 goes around the upper end of the right part of the base 600 and is pulled out to the rear (back side) of the right part of the base 600, and the other end is provided behind the right part of the base 600. To the take-up pulley 507. Note that guide rollers 509a and 509b for guiding the wire 508 are attached to the upper end of the right side of the base 600.

  A first effect motor 510 and an electromagnetic clutch 520 are arranged behind the right part of the base 600, and the winding pulley 507 and the first effect motor 510 can be connected via the electromagnetic clutch 520. Has become. In a connection state in which the winding pulley 507 and the first effect motor 510 are connected via the electromagnetic clutch 520, the first effect motor 510 is driven to drive the winding pulley via the electromagnetic clutch 520. 507 is rotated, and the wire 508 can be wound by the winding pulley 507. Further, the first effecting motor 510 electromagnetically connects the movable body 501A, 501B to the first position (upper position) by winding the wire 508 by the winding pulley 507, and connects the first pulley 507 to the winding pulley 507. The right side of the movable body 501A is supported at the first position by the rotation resistance generated in the first effect motor 510 by maintaining the clutch 520.

  A stopper 513 having a support piece 513a is provided on the front surface of the left portion of the base 600, and the stopper 513 guides the support piece 513a in a state where the movable bodies 501A and 501B are arranged at the first position. By protruding toward 505L, the support piece 513a can be arranged below the extension 504. Therefore, the left sides of the movable bodies 501A and 501B are supported from below by the support pieces 513a of the stopper 513, and the right sides of the movable bodies 501A and 501B are suspended from above by the rotational resistance of the first effect motor 510 described above. Accordingly, the movable bodies 501A and 501B can maintain the state of being arranged at the first position.

  A cable 701 (for example, a flexible flat cable) for sending a signal or power for causing the movable body 501A to perform an effect operation from the effect control board is connected to the movable body 501A. That is, the cable 701 is a signal line and a power line for causing the movable body 501A to perform an effect operation. In this embodiment, the cable 701 sends a signal or electric power for driving the second effect motor 511 of the movable body 501A. One end of the cable 701 is bent in a substantially right angle direction at a portion reaching the connection arm 502, and is connected to the movable body 501A. The other end is connected to effect board 12.

  The cable 701 is inserted in the width direction from the right side of the holding members 611, 612, is sandwiched between the holding members 611, 612 and the base 600, and is restrained with some play in the thickness direction. The rib 613 makes it difficult for the cable 701 to be shifted to the right when the cable 701 is sandwiched between the holding members 611 and 612. The fixing member 614 fixes the cable 701 by being screwed into the base 600 with a screw. Although not shown, the cable 701 is fixed to the connecting arm 502 at several places. The cable 701 is fixed to the base 600 or the connecting arm 502 so that even if the movable body 501A falls to the second position (downward position) as shown in FIG. You.

  By attaching the movable body 501B, the connection arm 502 and the cable 701 are made invisible to the player. Also, the cable 702 sends at least a part of the signal and the electric power from the cable 701 to the second effect motor 511. The movable part of the effect unit 500 such as the movable bodies 501A and 501B, the connecting arm 502, and the second effect motor 511 is moved downward with respect to the non-movable part such as the base 600 so that the cable 701 is moved. Changes from a state of large deflection to a state of small deflection.

  The state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10 is a view showing a state in which the cable 701 bends badly when the movable body 501A is at the first position. Referring to FIG. 10, if the cable 701 has a bad habit when the movable body 501A is returned from the second position to the first position, for example, as shown by the part A in the drawing, the movable body 501B It is conceivable that the cable 701 is sandwiched between a movable portion and a non-movable portion of the effect unit 500, such as between the pressing member 612.

  In such a case, it is conceivable that the cable 701 has such a tendency to bend in such a direction that it is easily pinched. Then, every time the movable body 501A moves up and down, the cable 701 is caught and contacted by the movable body 501B and the pressing member 612 many times. As a result, the contact portion of the cable 701 may be damaged. In such a case, a signal or electric power cannot be sent to the second effect motor 511 for effecting the operation of the movable body 501A, so that the effect operation cannot be performed.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an appearance and an attached state of a plastic plate 710 for guiding the cable 701. Referring to FIG. 11, as described above, in order to prevent cable 701 from contacting a predetermined portion of pachinko gaming machine 1 (here, movable body 501B, holding member 612), pachinko gaming machine 1 11A or when it is confirmed that the cable 701 has a bad habit as described above, the plastic plate 710 as shown in FIG. 11A is connected to the cable 701 as shown in FIG. The holding members 611 and 612 of 701 are diverted and attached.

  The plastic plate 710 has a flat plate shape (here, a thickness of about 0.3 mm; other thicknesses may be used), and has a central portion extending along the cable 701 when attached, and one end of the central portion. An extending portion extending in a direction away from the predetermined portion (a direction bent by about 20 to 30 degrees with respect to the central portion) when attached, and an extending portion on the other end side of the central portion. And a locking portion extending in the opposite direction. The locking portion includes a bent portion that is hooked (about 90 degrees) on the holding member 611 so that the plastic plate 710 does not move in the direction of the extending portion when the plastic plate 710 is attached.

  The plastic plate 710 is attached so as to be pressed together with the cable 701 by the pressing members 611 and 612. The holding members 611 and 612 hold the plastic plate 710 on the side of a predetermined portion with respect to the holding cable 701. Accordingly, the cable 701 can be guided by the extending portion extending in the direction away from the predetermined portion, and can be prevented from contacting the predetermined portion. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a problem caused by the cable 701 connected to the movable body 501A bending in an unintended direction.

  In addition, since the locking portion includes a bent portion, the plastic plate 710 can be prevented from moving with respect to the pressing members 611 and 612, so that the cable 701 does not easily move with respect to the pressing members 611 and 612. can do.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a method of processing a surplus portion of the cable 701. Referring to FIG. 12, cable 701 has a length with a margin for the convenience of routing to each part. For this reason, after the cable 701 is routed to each part and connected to the connector 711 of the effect board 12, a surplus portion is generated in the cable 701 as shown in FIG.

  A surplus portion of the cable 701 is extended in a direction opposite to the connector 711 and the pressing member 615, and a first fold is formed on the cable 701 at a portion farthest from the connector 711 and the pressing member 615. Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, the first fold portion is folded back to the opposite side, and the fold portion is pressed by a few mm from the pressing member 615 so that the first fold portion comes out. Through.

  Then, a second fold is formed on the cable 701 at a portion farthest from the connector 711 and the pressing member 615. The second fold is pressed against the effect board 12 by another electric cable (a flat cable 703 in which a plurality of covered wires are arranged and fused) routed on the effect board 12.

  In a portion where the flat cable 703 is routed on a board such as the effect board 12, it is difficult to provide a member for fixing the cable 701. However, if the cable 701 is not fixed, there is a possibility that a trouble such as damaging the cable 701 due to contact with an unintended portion may occur.

  As described above, holding the cable 701 makes it difficult for the cable 701 to malfunction, so that the cable 701 can be prevented from moving at a reduced cost. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost for suppressing the occurrence of defects.

  The portion pressed by the flat cable 703 is preferably in the vicinity of the connector on the effect board 12 of the flat cable 703. The flat cable 703 is hard to move near the connector. The cable 701 is pressed by such a flat cable 703 that is difficult to move. Thereby, the cable 701 can be stably pressed.

  Further, it is preferable that the flat cable 703 holding the cable 701 be wide. Since the cable 701 is pressed by the wide flat cable 703 as described above, the cable 701 can be stably pressed.

  A wide flat cable may have a large number of wires, and may have a large number of wires.The number of wires may be equal or small, but the conductor portion of each wire has a large diameter, and each wire has a thick protective coating or a thick insulator. It may be wider by that. The flat cable need not be wide as long as the cable 701 can be stably pressed as described above. For example, a flat cable may be hard to bend by making each wire thick or using a material of a hard-to-bend material for a conductor, an insulator, or a protective coating. The flat cable may be made hard by using a hard material for the conductor, insulator or protective coating.

  As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there are changes and additions without departing from the gist of the present invention, they are included in the present invention. It is.

The number of game balls used for the game is subtracted while the number of rented balls and the number of awarded balls awarded according to a prize are added, while the number of rented balls borrowed in response to a loan request by the player and the number of game balls used for the prize are added. The present invention is also applicable to a so-called enclosed game machine that stores and stores information. It should be noted that, in these enclosed game machines, points and points are given to the player instead of the game balls, and thus the given points and points correspond to the game value.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a spherical game ball (pachinko ball) is applied as an example of the game medium. However, the present invention is not limited to a spherical game medium. For example, a non-spherical game medium such as a medal is used. It may be.
