In this embodiment, the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is an opposing surface that faces the player when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the player side. In the description of each step of the flowchart, for example, a portion described as “Step S1” may be abbreviated as “S1”. In this embodiment, “execute” and “implement” are synonymous.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment, and shows an arrangement layout of main members. A pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as a gaming machine) 1 is roughly divided into a gaming board (gauge board) 2 constituting a gaming board surface, and a gaming machine frame (base frame) for supporting and fixing the gaming board 2. And 3. The game board 2 has a game area 10 having a substantially circular shape in a front view and surrounded by a guide rail 2b. In this game area 10, a game ball as a game medium is fired and hit from a hitting ball firing device (not shown). Further, a glass door frame 50 having a glass window 50a is provided on the gaming machine frame 3 so as to be rotatable around the left side, and the game area 10 can be opened and closed by the glass door frame 50. When the glass door frame 50 is closed, the game area 10 can be seen through the glass window 50a.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game board 2 is formed of a translucent synthetic resin material such as an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, and a methacryl resin in a substantially square shape when viewed from the front. (Not shown), a board 200 provided with guide rails 2b, etc. (see FIG. 4), and a spacer member 250 (see FIG. 4) integrally attached to the back side of the board. I have. Note that the game board 2 may be constituted by a plywood.

  A first special symbol display 4A and a second special symbol display 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (to the right of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 1). Each of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B is composed of, for example, a 7-segment or dot matrix LED (light emitting diode). Special symbols (also referred to as “special figures”), which are a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified (special identification information), are variably displayed (also referred to as variable display or variable display). In the following, a special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display 4A is also referred to as a "first special symbol", and a special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol indicator 4B is a "second special symbol". Also called.

  An effect display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area of the game board 2. The effect display device 5 includes, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, for example, three display patterns corresponding to the variable display of the first special figure by the first special symbol display 4A and the variable display of the second special figure by the second special symbol display 4B are provided. In the effect symbol display area serving as a plurality of variable display portions, an effect symbol (also referred to as a decorative symbol), which is a plurality of types of identification information (decoration identification information) that can be identified, is displayed in a variable manner. The variation display of the effect symbol is also included in the variation display game.

  As an example, in the display area of the effect display device 5, “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged. Then, in response to the start of one of the change of the first special figure on the first special symbol display 4A and the change of the second special figure on the second special symbol display 4B, "left In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "," "medium," and "right," the variation of the effect symbols (for example, vertical scroll display) is started. Thereafter, the fixed effect symbols (final stop symbols) are stopped and displayed in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", and "right" of the effect display device 5.

  As described above, in the display area of the effect display device 5, a special figure game using the first special figure on the first special symbol display 4A or a second special figure on the second special symbol display 4B is used. In synchronism with the special figure game, a plurality of different types of effect symbols, each of which is identifiable, are displayed in a fluctuating manner, and the definite effect symbols are derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derived”). Note that the fluctuation display may temporarily stop during the fluctuation display of the effect symbol.

  After the display of the variation of the effect symbol is started, the effect symbol display area 5L, 5C, 5R of “left”, “middle”, “right” or the effect symbol is displayed until the definite effect symbol is derived and displayed. In at least one of the display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the “left” effect symbol display area 5L, etc.), for example, the symbol numbers sequentially flow from upper to lower, from small to large. When the effect design with the highest symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed and then the effect symbol with the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed.

  A first hold storage display area 5D and a second hold storage display area 5U are set at two lower left and right portions of the display area of the effect display device 5. In the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U, a hold storage display is performed in which the number of change storages corresponding to the special figure game (number of special figure hold storages) can be specified.

  Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special figure game is such that the game ball passes through the first starting winning opening formed by the ordinary winning ball device 6A or the second starting winning opening formed by the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B. This occurs based on a start winning prize due to (entering). That is, a start condition (also referred to as an “execution condition”) for executing a variable display game such as a special figure game or a variable display of effect symbols is satisfied, but the variable display game based on the previously established start condition is being executed. Due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, when the start condition allowing the start of the variable display game is not established, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is performed. Done. In the present embodiment, the hold storage display generated based on the winning start by the game ball passing (entering) the first starting winning opening or the second starting winning opening is a circular white display. In the following description, the display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U may be collectively referred to as hold display.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the first holding for displaying the number of special figure holding storages in the upper and lower portions of the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B together with the holding storage display area so as to be identifiable. An indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided. The first reservation display 25A displays the first special figure reservation storage number in a identifiable manner. The second reservation display 25B displays the second special figure reservation storage number in a identifiable manner. In particular, the number of suspended storages in the variable display obtained by adding the first special figure suspended storage number and the second special figure suspended storage number is also referred to as a total suspended storage number.

  Below the effect display device 5, a normal winning ball device 6A and a normal variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning prize ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening that is always kept in a fixed open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The ordinary variable winning prize ball device 6B has a movable plate that changes the second starting winning opening between a closed state and an opened state by a solenoid 81 for an ordinary electric accessory shown in FIG.

  As an example, the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B is such that when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the non-detection state, the movable plate protrudes toward the gaming area 10 so that the gaming ball passes through the second starting winning opening. It becomes a closed state that is difficult to enter (enter). When the movable plate retracts to the rear side of the game board 2 when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric auditorium is in the detection state, the game ball enters an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) the second start winning opening. Note that, even when the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B is in the closed state, although the game ball can enter the second starting winning opening, the possibility that the gaming ball enters the open winning state is lower than in the open state. It may be configured as follows. As described above, the second start winning opening changes to an open state in which the game ball easily passes (enters) and an open state in which the game ball hardly passes (enters) or cannot pass (enters).

  A game ball that has passed (entered) a first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A is detected by, for example, a first starting port switch 22A shown in FIG. A game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball device 6B is detected by, for example, the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game balls by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure reserved storage number becomes a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4)), the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second starting port switch 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure reserved storage number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4)), the second start condition is satisfied.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball device 7 includes a special winning opening door driven by a solenoid 82 serving as a special winning opening door shown in FIG. 2, and a predetermined area that changes between an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. As a big winning opening as.

  For example, in the special variable winning prize ball device 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door is in the non-detection state, the special winning opening door closes the special winning opening, and the game ball passes through the special winning opening (enters). ) Can not do. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball device 7, when the large winning opening door solenoid 82 is in the detection state, the large winning opening door opens the large winning opening, and the game ball passes through the large winning opening (enters). ). In this way, the special winning opening changes between an open state in which the game balls easily pass (enter) and is advantageous for the player, and a closed state in which the game balls cannot pass (enter) and is disadvantageous for the player.

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM 101 (Read only Memory 101) for storing a game control program and fixed data, and a game control work. A RAM 102 (Random Access Memory 102) that provides an area, a CPU 103 (Central Processing Unit 103) that executes a game control program to perform a control operation, and updates numerical data indicating a random number value independently of the CPU 103. It is configured to include a random number circuit 104 for performing the processing and an I / O 105 (Input / Output port 105).

  As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, various processes for controlling the progress of the game are executed by the CPU 103 executing the program read from the ROM 101.

  On the main board 11, various random numbers such as a random number value MR1 for determining the special figure display result, a random number value MR2 for determining the big hit type, a random number value MR3 for determining the variation pattern, and a random number value MR4 for determining the normal figure display result are used. Numerical data is controlled to be countable. The random number circuit 104 only needs to be able to count the numerical data indicating a part or all of the random number values MR1 to MR4. It is sufficient to count by updating the numerical data of.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance. Specifically, in the present embodiment, among the cases where the fluctuation display result is “outside”, corresponding to the case where the fluctuation display mode of the effect symbol is “non-reach” and the case where “reach”, Also, a plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance in response to a case where the variation display result is “big hit”.

  The reach effect of the normal reach is executed on the big hit change pattern which is a change pattern corresponding to the case where the change display result is "big hit" or the reach change pattern when the change display mode of the effect symbol is "reach". There are a normal reach variation pattern and a super reach variation pattern in which a super reach reach effect such as super reach α and super reach β is executed. In this embodiment, only one type of normal reach variation pattern is provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of normal reach variation patterns such as normal reach α, normal reach β,. May be provided. Also, in the super reach variation pattern, three or more super reach variation patterns such as super reach γ, in addition to super reach α and super reach β, may be provided.

  The special figure variation time of the normal reach variation pattern in which the reach reach of the normal reach is executed in the present embodiment is set shorter than the super reach variation patterns, super reach α and super reach β. In the present embodiment, the special figure variation time of the super-reach variation pattern in which the super-reach effect such as super-reach α and super-reach β is executed is the same as the variation pattern in which the super-reach effect of super-reach β is executed. However, the special figure fluctuation time is set longer than the fluctuation pattern in which the super reach effect of the super reach α is executed.

  In the present embodiment, the big hit expectation degree (big hit reliability) in which the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” in the order of super reach β, super reach α, and normal reach is set to be high. In the super reach fluctuation pattern, the longer the fluctuation time, the higher the jackpot expectation (big hit reliability). Further, in the present embodiment, when a big hit occurs, a reach state is always established and any of the super reach β, the super reach α, and the normal reach is executed, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, a non-reach fluctuation pattern may be a big hit.

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

  Before the determined special symbol is derived and displayed in the special figure game of the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B, the display result determination table stored in the ROM 101 indicates the variable display result as "big hit". Is a table referred to for determining whether or not to control to the big hit gaming state based on the random number value MR1.

  In the display result determination table according to the present embodiment, a numerical value ( (Judgment value) is assigned to the special map display result such as “big hit” or “out”.

  In the display result determination table, determination data is assigned to the determination result of whether to control the special figure display result to the big hit game state with the big hit as the big hit. More specifically, in the present embodiment, when the gaming state is the probable state (high accuracy state), a larger number of determination values than in the normal state or the time saving state (low accuracy state) are "big hits". Assigned to the figure display result. Accordingly, in the probability change state (high accuracy state) in which the probability change control is performed, the probability that the special map display result is determined to be “big hit” and the game is controlled to the big hit game state in the normal state or the time saving state (low accuracy state). As compared with (approximately 1/300 in the present embodiment), the probability that it is determined that the special figure display result is set to “big hit” and the state is controlled to the big hit gaming state is increased (about 1/30 in the present embodiment). That is, in the display result determination table, when the gaming state is in the probable state (high accuracy state), the probability of being determined to be controlled to the big hit gaming state is higher than when the gaming state is in the normal state or the time saving state. The determination data is assigned to the result of determining whether or not to control the jackpot game state.

  Note that the ROM 101 stores a big hit type determination table and a random number value MR3 which are referred to to determine the big hit type to be one of a plurality of types based on the random number value MR2 when it is determined that the big hit game state is to be controlled. A fluctuation pattern determination table for determining the fluctuation pattern based on any of the above-described fluctuation patterns is also stored.

  As a setting example, the assignment of the determination value to the big hit type of “probable big hit A” and “probable big hit B” differs depending on whether the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure or the second special figure. In other words, when the fluctuation special map is the second special map, there is no assignment to the jackpot type of “probably variable big hit B” with a small number of rounds, and “variable big hit B” does not occur in the fluctuation display of the second special map. By performing the high opening control accompanying the time saving control, during the game state in which the game ball easily enters the second starting winning opening formed by the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the obtained prize ball is small. "Can frequently be prevented from deteriorating the game entertainment.

  The variation pattern determination table stored in the ROM 101 includes a jackpot variation pattern determination table used when “big hit” is determined in advance, and “out” as the variation pattern determination table. An out-of-office variation pattern determination table that is sometimes used is prepared in advance. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation pattern of the reach is more easily determined when the hit is a big hit than when the hit is a loss, and the possibility (reliability and expectation) of the hit when the reach is generated is larger. The higher the reach, the higher the reach (reliability and expectation) of the super reach than the normal reach, even if the fluctuation pattern of the same reach, the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β even with the same super reach The determination values corresponding to the respective variation patterns are set in the variation pattern determination table for the big hit and the variation pattern determination table for the deviation so that the probability of the probability variation big hit (reliability and expectation) becomes higher. I have.

  Note that the outlier variation pattern determination table includes a plurality of tables corresponding to the total number of pending storages and the time saving state, and the total number of pending storages corresponds to 2 to 4 according to the number of pending storages and the time saving state. Short non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-2), shortened non-reach loss variation pattern (PA1-3) corresponding to a total of 5-8 stored data, and shortened non-reach loss variation pattern By determining (PA1-4) in accordance with the total number of suspended storages and the game state (time saving state), a shorter fluctuation pattern is more easily executed as the total number of suspended storages increases, that is, fluctuations per unit time. By increasing the number of times, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of useless starting winnings, and the change in the non-reach of the shortened non-reach during the time reduction control (during the time reduction state) is smaller than when the time reduction control is not executed. Pattern (PA1-4) that is often determined by increasing the number of times of the change per unit time, it can reduce the time to the next jackpot, and to be able to improve the extended game player's sense of.

Table data constituting the pattern, pattern data constituting an effect control pattern corresponding to each variation pattern, and the like are stored.

  Of the effect control patterns, the effect control pattern at the time of the special figure change, the change display of the effect symbol during the period from the start of the change of the special symbol to the display of the fixed special symbol corresponding to each change pattern. Operation and operation of each movable body (the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C, the movable member 401 of the second effector 400, and the movable member 501 of the third effector 500). It is composed of data indicating the control contents of various effect operations such as a reach effect to be performed.

  The RAM 122 is provided with, for example, an effect control data holding area (not shown) as an area for holding various data used for controlling the effect operation. The effect control data holding area includes an effect control flag setting unit provided with a plurality of types of flags capable of updating a state in accordance with an effect operation state and an effect control command transmitted from the main board 11, and various effect operations. The effect control timer setting unit and the effect control counter setting unit, which are provided with a plurality of types of timers and counters used to control the progress of the process, temporarily store the data used to control the progress of various effect operations. An effect control buffer setting unit in which various buffers for storing are provided.

To "1-4" and the storage areas (buffer numbers "2-1" to "2-") corresponding to the maximum value (for example, "4") of the total reserved storage number of the second special figure reserved storage. 4) is provided, and data constituting a pending storage buffer capable of specifying the status of the pending storage at that time is stored, and the first pending storage display is performed based on the data in the pending storage buffer. A hold display of the area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U is displayed.

  On the effect control board 12, for the second movable body that drives the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C of the first effector 300 and the movable body 401 of the second effector 400 as movable members. The motor 410 and a third movable body motor 510 that drives the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 are connected, and the frame-side effect members 301B and 301C and the board-side effect members 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300 are connected. The operations of the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 and the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 are controlled by the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120).

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 is capable of executing various effects related to the game, such as a variation display control of effect symbols and a notice effect, based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100. ing. As the announcement effect that the effect control CPU 120 executes during the fluctuation display of the effect symbol, for example, a jackpot announcement effect (including a reach effect, a super reach effect, or the like) indicating a possibility of a big hit, and whether or not the reach is reached. At the start of fluctuation display or when reach is established, such as a reach announcement that suggests, a stop symbol announcement that announces the stop symbol, and a latency announcement that announces whether the game state is a probability fluctuation state (whether or not it is latent). Includes multiple announcements made at. Then, in various effects including the notice effect, the effect control CPU 120 controls each movable body (the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C, and the movable body of the second effector 400). A movable body effect of operating the 401 and the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 from an origin position (a first position or the like) to an effect position (a third position or a second position) can be executed.

  Note that the frame-side effects 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effects 311B and 311C, and the movable member 401 of the second effector 400 are movable members that are displaced by operation, and thus detect the origin position. On the other hand, the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 has a circular shape when viewed from the front, and the predetermined pattern has no particular upper and lower portions, whereas the movable body 501 of the third rendering device 500 has an origin detection target object having an origin detection sensor. Since there is no movement from a predetermined position only by rotating about the rotation axis, no origin position is provided. Therefore, it is an origin detection non-target object that does not have an origin detection sensor that detects the origin position.

  Next, an operation (operation) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. In the main board 11, when the power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is started, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs the necessary initialization after setting the interruption to be prohibited. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 102 is cleared. Further, a register of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is set. As a result, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, every 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute the timer interrupt process. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted, and a loop process is started. In the game control main process, a process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop may be performed, and then the loop process may be started.

  Upon receiving the interrupt request signal from the CTC and receiving the interrupt request, the CPU 103 that has executed the game control main process executes the game control timer interrupt process. When the game control timer interrupt process is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, so that the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count The state of the detection signal input from various switches such as the switch 23 is determined (S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and a warning can be generated if necessary according to the diagnosis result (S12). Thereafter, a predetermined information output process is executed (S13).

  Next, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers such as the random number values MR1 to MR4 by software is executed (S14). Thereafter, the special symbol process is executed (S15).

  Subsequent to the special symbol processing, the display operation (for example, turning on and off the segment LED) of the ordinary symbol display 20 is controlled to display the variation of the ordinary symbol and the tilting of the movable wing piece of the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B. Ordinary symbol process processing for performing operation setting and the like is executed (S16). Thereafter, by executing a command control process, a control command is transmitted (output) from the main board 11 to a control board on the sub side such as the effect control board 12 (S17).

  In the special symbol process process, first, a start winning determination process is executed (S21). Thereafter, one of the processes of S22 to S29 is selected and executed according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit.

  In the start winning process of S21, it is determined whether or not there is a first start win or a second start win by the first start port switch 22A or the second start port switch 22B. MR2 and MR3 are extracted and stored at the top of the empty entry in the first special figure holding storage unit when the first special winning is set, and the second special figure holding is set when the second special winning is set. It is stored at the top of empty entries in the storage unit.

  The special symbol normal processing of S22 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “0”. In the special symbol normal processing, it is determined whether or not to start the special figure game based on the presence or absence of the hold data. Further, based on the numerical data indicating the random number value MR1, it is determined (predetermined) whether or not to make the variable display result a “big hit” before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Further, a fixed special symbol (either a big hit symbol or a missing symbol) is set in accordance with the fluctuation display result. Then, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “1”.

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

  The special symbol change process of S24 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “2”. The special symbol change process includes a process for setting a special symbol to be changed on the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, and an elapsed time from the start of the change of the special symbol. And the like. When the change elapsed time of the special symbol reaches the special figure change time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “3”.

  The special symbol stop processing of S25 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “3”. The special symbol stop process includes a process of performing setting for stopping and displaying (deriving) a fixed special symbol which is a result of a variable display of the special symbol on the first special symbol display 4A or the second special symbol display 4B. Have been. Then, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is on. If the big hit flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to "4". On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit opening pre-processing of S26 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. The big hit opening pre-processing includes, for example, a process of starting a round in the big hit gaming state and setting a big winning opening to an open state based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is "big hit". include. Specifically, the upper limit of the period during which the special winning opening is opened is set to “29 seconds”, and the number of times of opening the special winning opening, which is the upper limit of the number of times the round is executed, is set to “non-probable variable big hit” or “probable variable”. If it is "Big hit A", it is set to "16 times". On the other hand, when the big hit type is “probable big hit B”, the number of times of opening the big winning port, which is the upper limit number of times of executing the round, is set to “5 times”. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”.

  The big hit opening processing in S27 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “5”. The processing during the opening of the jackpot is based on a process of measuring the elapsed time from the opening of the jackpot, and on the basis of the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. For determining whether or not it is time to return from the open state to the closed state. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after performing processing such as stopping the supply of the solenoid drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door, the value of the special drawing process flag is updated to “6”. .

  The post-big hit release processing in S28 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. The post-big hit opening processing includes a process of determining whether or not the number of rounds in which the special winning opening is opened has reached the maximum winning opening opening number or the maximum winning opening opening number. In this case, a process for setting a big hit end designation command to be transmitted is included. When the number of rounds has not reached the maximum winning opening number, the value of the special process flag is updated to "5". The value of the process flag is updated to “7”.

  The big hit end processing in S29 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. The big hit ending process includes a process of waiting until a waiting time corresponding to a period during which an ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit gaming state is executed. When such a setting is made, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  In the big hit end processing, the big hit type buffer value stored in the game control buffer setting unit is read to determine whether the big hit type is “non-probable big hit”, “probable big hit A”, or “probable big hit B”. Identify. If it is determined that the specified big hit type is not “non-probable variable big hit”, setting for starting the probable change control (setting of the probable change flag) is performed.

  If the specified jackpot type is “non-probable variable jackpot”, the setting for starting the time-saving control (the setting of the time-saving flag and the upper limit value of the special figure game that can be executed during the time-saving control is set in advance. A predetermined count initial value (“100” in this embodiment) is set in the time saving counter.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main processing shown in FIG. In the main processing, first, a first initialization processing (S50) for clearing a RAM area, setting various initial values, and initial setting of a timer for determining an activation interval (for example, 2 ms) of effect control, and the like. Origin positions of the movable bodies (the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C, the movable member 401 of the second effector 400, and the movable member 501 of the third effector 500). A second initialization process is performed to return to the state and check the operation (S51).

  Thereafter, effect control CPU 120 shifts to a loop process of monitoring a timer interrupt flag (S52). When a timer interrupt occurs, effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag by a timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (ON) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs a command analysis process (S54). In the command analysis processing, the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer is analyzed to determine which command (see FIG. 5). The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal, and is stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. Then, processing such as setting a flag according to the received effect control command is performed.

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

  Next, after performing an effect random number update process of updating a counter value for generating an effect random number such as a jackpot symbol determination random number (S56), a sub-side error process (S57) is executed, The process moves to S52.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the second initialization processing (S51) of the present embodiment. In the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies a movable body to be operated first based on the setting data (S101). The setting data includes order data of the movable bodies. In the present embodiment, the order of the first effect device 300 → the second effect device 400 → the third effect device 500 is set in advance as the order. Since the first effect device 300 has a plurality of movable bodies (frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and board-side effectors 311B and 311C), the frame-side effector 301B → frame-side effector 301C → board-side. The order of effecting body 311B → board-side effecting body 311C → movable body 401 → movable body 501 is preset. Therefore, when S101 is first executed, the frame-side effect body 301B of the first effect device 300 is specified as the target movable body. Note that the operation order is arbitrary and can be variously changed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the movable body identified in S101 is a movable body to be detected with respect to the origin (S102).

  In the present embodiment, as the origin detection target movable body that needs to perform the origin detection, the first effect device 300 having frame-side effector position sensors 330A to 330E and board-side effector position sensors 340A to 340E, The second rendering device 400 having the second movable body position sensor 420 and the movable body 501 of the third rendering device 500 having no origin detection sensor are not applicable. Therefore, when the movable body specified in S101 is any of the frame-side effects 301B and 301C, the board-side effects 311B and 311C of the first effect device 300, and the movable object 401 of the second effect device 400, While the determination is “Y”, if the movable body identified in S101 is the third effect device 500, the determination is “N”.

  When it is determined to be “N” in S102, the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if “Y” is determined in S102, the process proceeds to S103, where the detection state of the origin detection sensor corresponding to the movable object to be operated is specified (S103), and whether or not the origin detection sensor is in the detection state That is, it is determined whether or not the target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position) (S104).

  If it is not located at the origin position (initial position) (S104; N), the process proceeds to S105, where 0 is set in a non-detection operation number counter for counting the number of executions of the non-detection operation control. (S105) As the control speed for operating the movable object to be operated, the operation object is operated at the same operation speed as the lowest speed (see FIGS. 8 and 9) in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) described later. The minimum control speed for operating the movable body is set (S106), and the drive motor of the movable body to be operated, for example, if the movable body to be operated is the first rendering device 300, the motors for frame-side rendered bodies 310A and 310B. Then, the motors 320A and 320B for the board-side effector are started to be driven in the direction of the origin position. For example, if the movable object to be operated is the second effector 400, the motor 410 for the second movable object is moved to the origin position. Driving start with (S107), it starts the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer (S108). Note that the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer may be performed, for example, by counting the number of signals output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process. .

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state for monitoring whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state and whether the non-detection operation period timer has reached a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S109, S110).

  By driving the driving device (for example, the frame-side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board-side effector motors 320A and 320B) of the operation target movable body in the direction of the origin position, the operation target movable body is moved to the origin position (initial position). ), When the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, the driving of the driving motor is stopped, and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if the non-detection operation period timer has reached the value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the movable object to be operated has not been located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S112. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S112), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S113).

  If the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the operation error determination number in S113, the driving of the drive motor is stopped, and an operation error (origin return error) of the operation target movable body is stored (S114). , S130. In other words, when the operation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the non-detection operation control, the actual operation confirmation operation control described later is not executed for the operation target movable body (the relevant An operation error is stored for the operation target movable body in a dead end state), and the process proceeds to S130.

  In this embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the number of operation error determinations in S113, the operation target movable body is in a dead end state. The initialization error processing is started when the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the operation error determination number in S113, and the initialization error processing is executed. 2 By interrupting the initialization process, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 (such as the effect control CPU 120) may be brought into a state in which it is not activated (dead end state). .

  Further, when the operation target movable body is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 and the like) is activated, but, for example, the effect control CPU 120 receives an input signal (for example, an operation signal indicating that the movable body is operated). It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of the detection signal of the effect button or the like, or preventing the movable object to be operated from operating even if the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter has not reached the operation error determination number, the driving of the drive motor is stopped, the process returns to S106, and the processing of S106 to S108 is performed again, thereby making the operation target movable. The operation of moving the body to the origin position at the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) (non-detection operation control) is started, and the process shifts to the monitoring state of S109 and S110 described above. .

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S110 that the error determination time has elapsed, the operation (the non-detection operation control) of repeatedly moving the movable object to the origin position (initial position) until the number of operation error determinations is reached is executed. If the movable object to be operated is detected at the origin position (initial position) during the operation, the process proceeds to S130 without proceeding to S114.

  On the other hand, if the determination in step S104 is "Y" and the process proceeds to step S120, the detection operation process data is set after the detection operation counter is set to 0 (S121a), and the detection operation process timer is set. The timer count is started (S121b). The timer count of the operation process timer at the time of detection is the same as the timer count of the operation period timer at the time of non-detection, as described above, for the signal output from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals. It may be performed by counting the number. Further, the detection-time operation process data of the present embodiment includes, as a control speed for operating the operation target movable body, a minimum speed (a long initialization operation control) to be described later in an actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control). 9) is described (set) as the minimum control speed for operating the movable object at the same operation speed.

  Next, the operation target movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the set detection-time operation process data (S122), and it is determined whether or not the process data is completed (S123). If is not completed, the process returns to S122, and the operation target movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the detection-time operation process data.

  As described above, in the detection-time operation control, the minimum speed based on the minimum control speed set in the detection-time operation process data until the detection-time operation process data is completed, that is, the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initial At the lowest speed in the control of the conversion operation, an operation is performed in which the user once moves away from the origin position (initial position) and returns to the origin position (initial position) from a position far from the origin position (initial position) (see FIG. 8). Note that the position distant from the origin position is a position near the origin position, that is, a position at which the detected portion of each movable body cannot be detected by each origin sensor, and is a predetermined position (detection position) closer to the origin position than each production position. Operating position).

  In the determination of S123, when it is determined that the set detection-time operation process data has been completed, the driving of the movable accessory drive motor is stopped, and the process proceeds to S124 to determine whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. It is determined (confirmed) whether or not the operation target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position).

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

  On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the movable object to be operated is not located at the origin position (initial position), 1 is added to the detection operation number counter (S126). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the detection-time operation counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination frequency (for example, 3) (S127). When the value of the number-of-operations counter at the time of detection has reached the number of times of operation error determination, the process proceeds to S128, where the operation error of the movable object to be operated is stored (S128), and the process proceeds to S130. In other words, if the operation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the detection-time operation control, the actual operation confirmation operation control described later is not executed for the operation target movable body (this operation An operation error is stored for the target movable body in a dead end state), and the process proceeds to S130.

  In this embodiment, when the value of the number-of-operations counter at the time of detection has reached the number of times of operation error determination in S127, the movable object to be operated is in a dead end state. The present invention is not limited to this. If the value of the number-of-operations counter upon detection has reached the number of operation error determinations in step S113, the initialization error process is started, and the initialization error process is executed. The effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52 by interrupting the conversion process, and the effect control board 12 may be brought into a state in which it is not activated (dead end state).

  Further, when the movable object to be operated is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (such as the effect control CPU 120) is activated, but, for example, the effect control CPU 120 is provided with an input signal (eg, an effect button) for operating the movable body. It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of a detection signal (e.g., such as a detection signal) or preventing the operation target movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  In S130, which is performed when “N” is determined in S102, when “Y” is determined in S109, or when “Y” is determined in S124, the movable body is not yet an operation target. It is determined whether or not the remaining movable body exists. If the remaining movable body does not exist (specifically, if the operation target movable body is the third effect device 500), the actual state shown in FIG. The processing shifts to processing for performing operation control for operation confirmation. On the other hand, if there is any remaining movable body, the process proceeds to S131 to specify the next movable body to be operated, and then returns to S102 to perform the above-described processing from S102 onward for the identified movable object to be operated. Execute similarly.

  If S131 is executed when the movable object to be operated is the frame-side effector 301B of the first effector 300, the frame-side effector 301C of the first effector 300 is operated based on the setting data. If S131 is executed when the movable object specified as the movable body is the frame-side effect body 301C of the first effect device 300, the board-side effect object 311B of the first effect device 300 is operated. When S131 is executed when the movable object specified as the body is the board-side effector 311B of the first effector 300, the board-side effector 311C of the first effector 300 based on the setting data. Is specified as the operation target movable body, and when S131 is executed when the operation target movable body is the board-side effector 311C of the first effect device 300, the second effect is performed based on the setting data. When S131 is executed when the movable body 401 of the device 400 is specified as the movable body to be operated and the movable body to be operated is the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400, the movable body of the third effect device 500 is executed. 501 is specified as an operation target movable body.

  Next, the process illustrated in FIG. 7 will be described. In S200 illustrated in FIG. 7, first, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the operation based on the setting data in the same manner as in S101 described above (movable body to be checked). Is specified (S200). Next, it is determined whether or not an operation error of the target movable body is stored (S201).

  If there is a memory of the operation error of the check target movable body, the process proceeds to S220 without executing the processes of S202a to S213. In this way, in the present embodiment, actual operation confirmation operation control is not performed for a movable body determined to have an operation error in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control.

  On the other hand, when there is no storage of the operation error of the check target movable body, the process proceeds to S202a, and the actual operation check process data corresponding to the check target movable body is set. That is, if the movable object to be checked is the first effector 300 (frame-side effectors 301B, 301C and board-side effectors 311B, 311C), process data for confirming the actual operation of the first effector 300 is set, and the confirmation is performed. If the target movable body is the second effect device 400 (movable body 401), process data for actual operation check of the second effect device 400 is set, and the check target movable body is the third effect device 500 (movable body 501). If so, the process data for confirming the actual operation of the third effect device 500 is set. In each of the actual operation check process data, the control speed and the like are described (set) so that the movable body performs the same operation as the operation actually performed in the movable body effect in the effect.

  Next, the timer count of the actual operation check process timer is started (S202b). The timer count of the actual operation check process timer is the same as the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above, and is a signal output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process. May be performed by counting the number of times.

  The movable object to be checked is operated at the control speed set in accordance with the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer in the set actual operation check process data (S203), and the process data is completed. It is determined whether or not the process has been completed (S204). If the process data has not been completed, the process returns to S203, and the movable object to be confirmed is set according to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer at that time. Operate based on the control speed being set.

  In this way, until the actual operation check process data is completed, the movable object to be checked is operated at the control speed set in the actual operation check process data in accordance with the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer. By doing so, the control speed of the check target movable body is sequentially changed in time series, and the same acceleration or deceleration as the control speed set when the movable body is actually operated in the movable body effect can be performed. it can.

  If it is determined in step S204 that the set process data for confirming the actual operation is completed, the driving of the drive motor is stopped, and whether the confirmation target movable body is the origin detection target movable body is determined. Is determined (S204a). If the movable body to be checked is not the movable body to be detected, that is, if it is the third effect device 500, the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, if the target character is an origin detection target movable body, that is, if the first production device 300 or the second production device 400, the origin detection sensor is in a detection state, that is, if the operation target movable body It is determined (confirmed) whether or not the body is located at the origin position (initial position) (S205).

  If the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, if the movable object to be confirmed is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the confirmation target movable body is not located at the origin position (initial position), the above-described non-detection operation control is performed (see FIG. 6). Then, the processing of S206 to S213 is performed to position the check target movable body at the origin position (initial position).

  Specifically, after setting the non-detection operation number counter for counting the number of executions of the non-detection operation control to 0 (S206), the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) is performed as the control speed. The minimum control speed for operating the operation target movable body at the same operation speed as the minimum speed in step S207 is set (S207). If the drive device of the confirmation target movable body, for example, the confirmation target movable body is the first effect device 300, Then, the frame-side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board-side effector motors 320A and 320B are started to be driven in the direction of the origin position (initial position) (S208), and the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S208). S209).

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state for monitoring whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state and whether the non-detection operation period timer has reached a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S210, S211).

  The driving device for the movable object to be checked (for example, the frame-side effector motors 310A and 310B, and the board-side effector motors 320A and 320B) is driven in the direction of the origin position (initial position), so that the movable object to be confirmed moves to the origin position. If the sensor is located at the (initial position) and the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, “Y” is determined in S210 and the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, if the non-detection operation period timer has reached the value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the movable body to be checked has not been located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S212 Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S212), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S213).

  When the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the operation error determination number, the operation error of the operation target movable body is stored (S214), and the actual operation is not performed on the operation target movable body thereafter. And proceed to S220. In this embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the operation error determination number in step S213, the operation error of the operation target movable body is stored. Although the operation is not executed, the present invention is not limited to this. If the value of the non-detection operation number counter has reached the operation error determination number in S213, the operation target The movable body may be set to a dead end state. Alternatively, by starting the initialization error process and executing the initialization error process, the second initialization process is interrupted, so that the effect control main process is interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 May not be activated (dead end state).

  Further, when the movable object to be operated is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (such as the effect control CPU 120) is activated, but, for example, the effect control CPU 120 is provided with an input signal (eg, an effect button) for operating the movable body. It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of a detection signal (e.g., such as a detection signal) or preventing the operation target movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter has not reached the operation error determination number, the process returns to S207, and the processing of S207, S208, and S209 is performed again, so that the movable object to be checked is checked for actual operation. The operation (origin return operation) of moving to the origin position (initial position) at the minimum speed in the operation control (long initialization operation control) is started, and the process shifts to the monitoring state of S210 and S211 described above.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S211 that the error determination time has elapsed, an operation (non-detection operation control) of repeatedly moving the check target movable body to the origin position (initial position) until the number of operation error determinations is reached is executed. If the movable object to be checked is detected at the origin position (initial position) during the operation, the process proceeds to S220.

  When the determination is “Y” in S201, when the determination is “N” in S204a, when the determination is “Y” in S205, or when the determination is “Y” in S210, It is determined whether there is any remaining movable body that has not yet been checked for operation confirmation among the movable bodies, and if there is no remaining movable body (specifically, the operation In the case of the third production device 500), the process is terminated, but if there is any remaining movable body, the process proceeds to S221, and after determining the next movable body to be checked, the process returns to S201. The above-described processing after S201 is similarly performed on the specified target object. In addition, in the case where the operation error record is stored when there is no remaining movable body in S220, and when the problem is solved by executing the second initialization process at the next power-on, it is cleared at that time. become.

  Here, the operation mode and control contents of the movable body by performing the second initialization processing shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing operation modes of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control performed by the effect control CPU 120. 9A is an explanatory diagram showing a control speed in actual operation check operation control, FIG. 9B is an explanatory diagram showing a control speed in detection operation control, and FIG. 9C is a control speed in non-detection operation control. FIG.

  In FIGS. 8 and 9, the frame-side effects 301B and 301C and the board-side effects 311B and 311C of the first effector 300 and the movable member 401 of the second effector 400 which are the object-of-origin detection target moveables. Only the operation control at the time of detection (short initialization operation control), the operation control at the time of detection (short initialization operation control) and the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initialization operation control) will be described. Description of the movable body 501 of the effect device 500 will be omitted. Also, the reciprocating operation distance (rotation range) of each of the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C of the first effector 300 and the reciprocating operation distance (movement range) of the movable body 401 of the second effector 400. ) Are not the same, but for convenience of explanation, they will be described using the same conceptual diagram.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the frame-side effects 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effects 311B and 311C, and the movable body 401 of the second effector 400 have their origin positions (retreat position and initial position), respectively. It is provided so as to be able to reciprocate between and the production position (operable position), and the forward operation from the origin position to the production position and the return operation from the production position to the origin position are actually performed in the aforementioned movable body production etc. And the actual operation to be performed.

  The effect control CPU 120 determines that the detected portion of the movable body is not detected by the origin detection sensor when the second initialization process is performed, that is, the movable body is not detected for some reason (for example, when the movable body is transported or installed on a game island). If it has moved from the position, or if it was not possible to return to the original position during the previous operation (for example, during the performance of the effect, the return to the original position of the movable body could not be confirmed or the operation could not be performed due to motor step-out, failure, caught, etc.) When a movable body error (operation abnormality) such as disappearance occurs, etc., or when the game machine moves from the origin position due to vibration, etc.), it corresponds to a position other than the origin position (for example, the non-detection operation control in FIG. 8). (A predetermined position between the origin position and the rendering position, such as the position indicated by a black circle), the non-detection operation control for returning to the origin is executed.When performing the non-detection operation control, the movable body is located at a position distant from the origin position, and therefore, the only operation is to move the movable body in the direction of the origin position.

  In addition, when performing the second initialization process, CPU 120 for effect control controls frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and board-side effectors 311B and 311C of first effector 300 and movable body 401 of second effector 400. When the detected part is detected by the origin detection sensor, the detection-time operation control is executed.

  For example, in order to ensure that the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, a predetermined period from when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor to when the operation of the movable body in the direction of the origin position is regulated. When an operable range (for example, play) is set, the origin may return to the original position and stop at a position further away from the position detected by the origin detection sensor. Therefore, even when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, detection operation control for returning the movable body to the more accurate origin position is performed.

  In this detection operation control, it is necessary to move the movable body to a position away from the origin position and then return to the origin position to temporarily release the detection state of the detected part by the origin detection sensor, Since there is no need to move the movable body, the movable body is moved from the origin position to a detection operation position near the origin position, and then returned to the origin position. That is, the reciprocating operation is performed at a shorter distance than the actual operation (see FIGS. 12A and 12B).

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control in the second initialization process, and then executes the actual operation check operation control. The actual operation check operation control is the same operation as the actual operation actually performed by the movable body in various effects and the like. In the present embodiment, the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initialization operation control) is performed in the case of the movable effect pattern C described later. Also, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation, each operation of the frame-side effects 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effects 311B and 311C, and the movable body 401 of the second effector 400 is checked. However, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C, and the movable body 401 do not interlock.

  Next, the control speed set when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation check operation control will be compared. The speeds shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C are control speeds set by the effect control CPU 120 to operate each movable body, and the actual speed of the movable body Operating speed. That is, for example, when operating a predetermined movable body, even if the same control speed is set in one moving section and another moving section between the origin position and the effect position, one moving section and another When the mode is different between the moving section (for example, a section with and without a spring, a straight section and a curved section), or when ascending and descending even in the same moving section, the movable body is actually operated. The operating speed in the case may be different from the control speed. Also, even if the same control speed is set for the movable bodies, if there is a difference in the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body, the actual operation speed of each movable body is not necessarily They are not the same. When a plurality of movable bodies are operated by the same performance stepping motor, even if the same control speed is set for each movable body, the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body In the case where there is a difference, the actual operation speed of each movable body is not necessarily the same.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, when effect control CPU 120 performs the actual operation check operation control, effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer in the set actual operation check process data. The confirmation target movable body is operated based on the set control speed. Specifically, control is performed such that after accelerating from the origin position, decelerate to stop at the rendering position, and accelerate after decelerating from the rendering position to stop at the origin position. In other words, in the actual operation check operation control for confirming that each movable body can operate normally, the control speed of the movable body changes in the order of low speed → high speed → low speed between the origin position and the production position. Let it. That is, when performing the movable body effect of each movable body, the effect control CPU 120 sets the range between the minimum speed (low speed) as the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed higher than the minimum speed. In order to control each movable body to operate at the internal speed, even when executing the actual operation check operation control, the minimum speed (low speed) as the first speed and the second speed higher than the minimum speed are set as the first speed. Is controlled so as to operate at a speed within the range of the maximum speed (high speed).

  That is, the minimum speed as the first speed and the maximum speed as the second speed are actual operating speeds of the movable body, and the control speed is set so as to be the minimum speed or the maximum speed as the operating speed. Will be. In the following description, it is assumed that the movable body operates at the lowest speed when the movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed, and operates at the maximum speed when the movable body is operated based on the maximum control speed. I do.

  Here, the control speed is set such that the operation speed of the movable body during acceleration and deceleration is the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. In addition, when returning to the origin position after moving to the production position, the movable body is reliably controlled by controlling the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control for a longer time than when stopping at the production position. After that, the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (B), when performing the operation control upon detection, the effect control CPU 120 always checks the actual operation during the period of moving from the origin position to the effect position and the period of moving from the effect position to the origin position. Is controlled so that the movable body operates at the lowest speed (first speed) in the operation control. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the maximum speed in the detection-time operation control as the first operation control is lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (in the present embodiment, the actual operation confirmation So that the movable body is operated based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation confirmation operation control so that the speed becomes the same as the minimum speed in the actual operation control.

  In addition, in the case of the operation control at the time of detection, since the movable distance of the movable body is shorter than that of the operation control for actual operation confirmation, when the operation is accelerated in the actual operation confirmation operation control, that is, when the operation is performed at a high speed, the origin is detected. There is a risk that the sensor will not be able to reliably detect the part to be detected, or that the movable body will be damaged by an impact when the movable body returns to the home position from a short distance and movement is restricted. Is controlled to operate at the minimum speed in the operation control.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (C), when performing the non-detection operation control, the production control CPU 120 always performs the movement from an arbitrary position between the origin position and the production position to the origin position. Control is performed so as to operate at the lowest speed (first speed) in the actual operation check operation control. That is, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the maximum speed (maximum operation speed) in the non-detection operation control as the first operation control is lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (this embodiment). In the example, the movable body is operated based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation check operation control so that the speed becomes the same as the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control). Perform control.

  In this case, since it is unknown how far the movable body is from the origin position, if the movable body is located near the origin position, the control speed at the time of acceleration in the actual operation confirmation operation control In other words, when operated at high speed, when the movable body returns to the origin position, the detected portion cannot be reliably detected by the origin detection sensor, or the movable body returns to the origin position from a short distance and movement is restricted. Since there is a possibility that the movable body or the like may be damaged due to the impact at that time, control is performed so as to operate at the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the effect control CPU 120 sets the minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control to the minimum control speed. Based on this, control is performed so that the movable body always operates at a single (constant) operation speed. These minimum speeds are the minimum speeds in the actual operation confirmation operation control corresponding to the respective movable bodies, and are not the operation speeds common to the respective movable bodies, so that the minimum speeds of the respective movable bodies may be different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C of the first effector 300, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C, and the movable body 401 of the second effector 400 have a size, weight, Since the operation mode, the operation distance, and the drive mechanism including the drive motor are different from each other, the actual operation speed of the movable body is different even when the same control speed is set. Further, even when different control speeds are set for each movable body, the actual operation speed of the movable body is different. As described above, the minimum speed is an operation speed based on the control speed set for each movable body, and a plurality of movable bodies having different modes are controlled in order to control the movable body to operate at the optimum minimum speed. It is possible to reliably detect at the origin position.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the effect control process process (S55) of the effect control main process. In the effect control process, the effect control CPU 120 first sets the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U of the effect display device 5 according to the storage content of the hold storage buffer. A hold display update process for updating the display is executed (S72).

  Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 performs any one of S73 to S79 according to the value of the effect control process flag. In each process, the following process is executed.

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

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

  Production symbol variation processing (S75): switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern, and frame-side effectors 301A, 301B, 301C and board-side effectors 311A, 311B, 311C in a movable effect described later. And the end of the fluctuation time is monitored while controlling the driving of the LED and light emission of the LED. Then, when the fluctuation time ends, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol fluctuation stop processing (S76).

  Effect design fluctuation stop processing (S76): Based on the reception of the effect control command (design confirmation command) for instructing stop of all the symbols, the control of stopping the change of the effect symbol and deriving and displaying the display result (stop symbol) is performed. Do. Then, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the jackpot display process (S77) or the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process (S73).

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

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

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

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the effect symbol variation start process (S74) in the effect control process process shown in FIG. In the effect symbol change start process, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the first change start command reception flag is set in S271 (S271). If the first variation start command reception flag is set (S271; Y), it is associated with the buffer numbers "1-0" to "1-4" of the first special figure pending storage in the start winning reception command buffer. The various command data and various flags stored as above are shifted upward by one buffer number (S272). Note that the contents of the buffer number "1-0" are erased because they cannot be shifted because there is no destination to shift.

  More specifically, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-1” of the first special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-0”. Then, the various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number "1-2" of the first special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number "1-1". Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-3” of the special map reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-2”. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “1-4” of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “1-3”.

  If the first change start command reception flag is not set in S271 (S271; N), it is determined whether the second change start command reception flag is set (S273). If the second change start command reception flag is not set (S273; N), the effect design change start process is ended, and if the second change start command reception flag is set (S273; Y), start. The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer numbers “2-0” to “2-4” of the second special figure hold storage in the prize receiving command buffer are shifted upward by one buffer number. The shift is performed (S274). Note that the contents of the buffer number "2-0" are deleted because there is no destination to shift, so that the contents cannot be shifted.

  More specifically, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-1” of the second special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-0”. Then, various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-2” of the second special figure hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-1”. The various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-3” of the special map reservation storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-2”. Various command data and various flags stored in association with the buffer number “2-4” of the hold storage are shifted so as to be stored in association with the buffer number “2-3”.

  After execution of S272 or S274, effect control CPU 120 reads a variation pattern designation command from the variation pattern designation command storage area (S275).

  Next, the display result (stop symbol) of the effect symbol is determined according to the data stored in the display result specifying command storage area (that is, the received display result specifying command) (S276). In this case, the effect control CPU 120 determines the stop symbol of the effect symbol according to the display result specified by the display result specifying command, and stores the data indicating the determined stop symbol of the effect symbol in the effect symbol display result storage area. I do.

  In this embodiment, when the received variable display result designation command is the second variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation big hit A, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the three symbols are “7” as the stop symbol, for example. To determine the combination of effect symbols (big hit symbols). When the received variable display result designation command is the third variable display result designation command corresponding to the probability variation jackpot B, as the stop symbol, a plurality of combinations of odd-number symbols other than “7” (for example, “111”, (Combination of effect symbols such as "333", "555", "999"). In the case where the received variable display result designation command is the fourth variable display result designation command corresponding to the non-probable variable jackpot, the effect control CPU 120 determines, for example, the effect symbol in which three symbols are arranged as even symbols as stop symbols. Determine the combination (big hit symbol). When the received variable display result designation command is the first variable display result designation command corresponding to a loss, a combination of the effect symbols (missing symbols) in which three symbols are irregular as stop symbols is determined.

  In determining these stop symbols, the effect control CPU 120 extracts, for example, a random number for determining a stop symbol, and uses a stop symbol determination table in which data indicating a combination of the effect symbols and numerical values are associated with each other. Then, the stop symbol of the effect symbol may be determined. That is, the stop symbol may be determined by selecting data indicating the combination of the effect symbols corresponding to the numerical values corresponding to the extracted random numbers.

  Next, effect control CPU 120 specifies a fluctuation pattern from the fluctuation pattern specification command read from the fluctuation pattern specification command storage area in S275, and determines whether or not the specified fluctuation pattern is a super-reach β fluctuation pattern. (S277). If it is not the super reach β fluctuation pattern, the process proceeds to S281. In the case of the super-reach β variation pattern, the random number for determining the movable effect pattern is extracted, and the execution of the movable effect and the effect pattern of the movable effect to be executed are performed using the movable effect pattern determination table shown in FIG. Type) is determined (S278), the movable effect pattern determined in S278 is stored (S279), and the process proceeds to S281.

  In the present embodiment, the random number for determining a movable effect pattern is, for example, a random number in the range of 1 to 100, and any value in the range of 1 to 100 is extracted. That is, the number of determination values of the movable effect pattern determining random number is set to 100 in the range of 1 to 100, but the present invention is not limited to this. What is necessary is just to determine it suitably. In addition, a random number counter for determining a movable effect pattern for generating these random numbers for determining a movable effect pattern is set in the RAM 122, and the random number counter for determining a movable effect pattern is updated by a random number update process at each timer interrupt. You. When it is determined in S277 that the pattern is the super reach β variation pattern, the movable effect is executed based on any of the patterns A to C described later, but it is determined whether or not the movable effect is executed. You may.

  The movable effect according to the present embodiment is performed at a predetermined effect timing (hereinafter, referred to as “super reach effect”) in the execution period of the super reach β effect (hereinafter, abbreviated as “super reach effect”) performed during the fluctuation display period based on the super reach β fluctuation pattern. , The timing immediately before executing the jackpot or out-of-office notification), the frame-side effects 301A, 301B, 301C, the board-side effects 311A, 311B, 311C of the first effector 300, the frame-side LED 350A, 350B, 350C, board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, staging LED 9, staging display device 5, etc. It is a suggestive effect that suggests gender.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the pattern A is such that the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C of the first effector 300 are on the back side of the frame-side effector 301A and the board-side effector 311A. After the frame-side character LED 350A and the board-side character LED 360A emit light in the first area Z1 corresponding to the character of "heat" with the frame-side character LED 350A and the board-side character LED 360A stopped at the first position for a predetermined period (for example, After a period required to move the body 301C and the board-side effector 311C to the second position (for example, about 2 seconds), the second area Z2 is emitted by the frame-side background LED 351A and the board-side background LED 361A. (See FIG. 20 (F)), a pattern for executing a special effect of displaying a cut-in image (see FIG. 20 (F)) on the effect display device 5.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the pattern B emits light in the first region Z1 corresponding to the characters “intense” and “heat” by the frame-side character LEDs 350A and 350B and the board-side character LEDs 360A and 360B. In the case where a combined effect part is formed in which the linked effect of moving the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B to the third position (the third corresponding position) is executed and the character of "hot heat" can be visually recognized. The frame-side background LEDs 351A and 351B and the board-side background LEDs 361A and 361B cause the second area Z2 to emit light, and the effect display device 5 executes a special effect of displaying a cut-in image.

  As shown in FIG. 18C, the pattern C corresponds to the characters “super”, “hard”, and “heat” by the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C and the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C. The first region Z1 is made to emit light, and a first interlocking effect of moving the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C to a second position (second corresponding position) is executed. In the case where a composite effect part capable of visually recognizing the character “super heat” is formed by executing a second interlocking effect of moving the 301C and the board-side effector 311C to a third position (third corresponding position), a frame is formed. The second area Z2 is illuminated by the side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C and the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the cut-in image ( There is a pattern that performs a special effect that displays 20 (D) refer).

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the movable effect pattern determination table, when the fluctuation display result is a big hit for each of “pattern A”, “pattern B”, and “pattern C”, the fluctuation pattern is super-reach. Different judgment values are assigned so that the number of judgment values shown in FIG.

  Specifically, when the fluctuation display result is a big hit, ten judgment values are assigned to “pattern A”, 30 judgment values are assigned to “pattern B”, and “pattern B” is assigned. “C” is assigned 60 judgment values. Further, when the fluctuation pattern is out of the super reach β, 60 judgment values are assigned to “pattern A”, 30 judgment values are assigned to “pattern B”, and “pattern C” Are assigned 10 judgment values.

  By assigning the determination values in this manner, in the fluctuation display based on the super-reach β fluctuation pattern, in the case of a big hit, the movable effect based on the pattern C is performed at a higher rate than in the case of the super-reach being lost. Be executed. On the other hand, in the case where the super reach β is off, the movable effect based on the pattern A is executed at a higher rate than in the case of the big hit.

  That is, when the movable effect based on the pattern C is executed, the big hit expectation is higher than when the movable effect based on the patterns A and B is executed, and when the movable effect based on the pattern B is executed, The big hit expectation is higher than the case where the movable effect based on is executed. In the present embodiment, the movable effect is executed at a rate of 100% in the fluctuation display based on the super reach β fluctuation pattern, but the movable effect is performed at a predetermined rate in the fluctuation display based on the super reach β fluctuation pattern. In the case where the non-execution of the effect can be determined, when the movable effect based on any of the patterns A to C is executed, the big hit expectation degree is higher than when the movable effect is not executed. do it.

  Note that the big hit expectation (reliability) of each of the patterns A to C is a probability that a movable effect based on any of the patterns A to C is executed and the big hit is obtained. Is a numerical value obtained by dividing by the sum of the probability of a “big hit” when a movable effect based on the pattern is executed and the probability of “losing” by executing a movable effect based on any of the patterns A to C.

  Although not particularly shown, the effect control CPU 120 executes a notice effect determination process in addition to the movable effects in addition to the processes of S277 to S279, and a notice indicating a possibility of a big hit in the variable display. You may make it determine whether to perform an effect.

  Returning to FIG. 11, in S281, the effect control CPU 120 selects an effect control pattern (process table) corresponding to the variation pattern designation command. Then, the process timer in the process data 1 of the selected process table is started (S282).

  The process table includes display control execution data for controlling display of the effect display device 5, LED control execution data for controlling lighting of each LED, and sound for controlling sounds output from the speakers 8L and 8R. Sound control execution data, operation section control execution data for controlling the operation of the push button 31B and the stick controller 31A, and the like are arranged in chronological order in association with each process data n (1 to N). I have.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 renders an effect device (effect display as an effect component) in accordance with the contents of the process data 1 (display control execution data 1, LED control execution data 1, sound control execution data 1, operation unit control execution data 1). The control of the device 5, the various LEDs as effect parts, the speakers 8L and 8R as effect parts, and the operation unit (push button 31B, stick controller 31A, etc.) is executed (S283). For example, a command is output to the display control unit 123 in order to cause the effect display device 5 to display an image according to the fluctuation pattern. In addition, a control signal (LED control execution data) is output to the LED control board 14 in order to control the turning on / off of various LEDs. Further, a control signal (sound number data) is output to the sound control board 13 in order to output sounds from the speakers 8L and 8R.

  In this embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 controls the effect design so that the effect pattern is displayed in a one-to-one correspondence with the change pattern designating command. A variation pattern to be used may be selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns corresponding to the command.

  Then, a value corresponding to the fluctuation time specified by the fluctuation pattern designation command is set in the fluctuation time timer (S284). Further, a predetermined time is set in the fluctuation control timer (S285). The predetermined time is, for example, 30 ms, and the effect control CPU 120 writes image data indicating the display state of the middle left and right effect symbols in the VRAM every time the predetermined time elapses, and the display control unit 123 writes the image data in the VRAM. A signal corresponding to the image data is output to the effect display device 5, and the effect display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the signal, thereby realizing a change in the effect symbol. Next, the value of the effect control process flag is set to a value corresponding to the effect symbol change processing (S75) (S286).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect symbol variation processing according to the present embodiment. In the effect symbol fluctuation process, the effect control CPU 120 decrements each value of the process timer, the fluctuation time timer, and the fluctuation control timer (S301, S302, S303).

  Then, effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the process timer has expired (S304). If the process timer has not expired, the effect device (effect components) is used in accordance with the contents of the process data corresponding to the process timer (display control execution data, LED control execution data, sound control execution data, operation unit control data, etc.). ) Is executed (S305).

  On the other hand, if the process timer has expired, the process data is switched (S306). That is, the process timer is restarted by setting the process timer set value set next in the process table to the process timer (S307). Further, the control state of the effect device (effect component) is changed based on the display control execution data, the LED control execution data, the sound control execution data, the operation unit control data, and the like which are set next (S308).

  Then, effect control CPU 120 confirms whether or not the process data is super reach β (S309). Specifically, a fluctuation pattern is specified from the fluctuation pattern specification command read from the fluctuation pattern specification command storage area, and it is determined whether or not the specified fluctuation pattern is a super reach β fluctuation pattern.

  If it is not the process data of the super reach β, the process proceeds to S330. On the other hand, if the process data is the super reach β process data, the process proceeds to S310, and the operation error of either the frame-side director (frame-side director unit 300A) or the board-side director (board-side director unit 300B) (For example, when an operation error record is stored in the second initialization process of S51, or when an operation error is recorded in the previous movable effect) is checked.

  When there is a record of an operation error of either the frame-side effector (frame-side effector unit 300A) or the board-side effector (board-side effector unit 300B), the process proceeds to S330. Thereby, it is possible to avoid performing the movable effect even when the frame-side effect unit 300A or the board-side effect unit 300B is in an abnormal operation state. On the other hand, if there is no operation error recorded for any of the frame-side effects (frame-side effects unit 300A) or the board-side effects (board-side effects unit 300B), the process proceeds to S311 to execute a movable effect. It is determined whether it is a period.

  If it is the time to execute the movable effect processing, that is, if it is the period during which the movable effect is to be executed, the process proceeds to S312 to execute the movable effect process, and if not, the process proceeds to S330 without executing the movable effect. move on. Therefore, at a predetermined timing during the variable display of the effect symbols, the movable effect process is started, and any one of “pattern A”, “pattern B”, and “pattern C” among the movable effect patterns is performed. Is executed.

  Here, the movable effect processing executed in S312 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the movable effect processing.

  In the movable effect processing (S312), the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not a movable effect suspension flag indicating that the movable effect has been interrupted is set (S340). If the movable effect suspension flag is set, the process proceeds to S352 without executing the processes from S341 to S350. On the other hand, when the movable effect suspension flag is not set, the process proceeds to S341, and it is determined whether the movable effect execution flag indicating that the movable effect is being executed is set.

  If the movable effect execution flag is set, the process proceeds to S351 without executing the process from S342 to S350. If the movable effect execution flag is not set, the process proceeds to S342, and the movable effect is performed. Set the running flag. Then, the process proceeds to S343, and a predetermined movable effect period (for example, a value corresponding to a time for executing the movable effect (for example, about 5 seconds)) is set in the movable effect period timer.

  In S344, it is determined whether or not the movable effect pattern is pattern A. When it is determined in S344 that the movable effect pattern is the pattern A, the process proceeds to S345, selects the movable effect process data corresponding to the pattern A, and proceeds to S349. When it is determined in S344 that the movable effect pattern is not the pattern A, the process proceeds to S346, and it is determined whether the movable effect pattern is the pattern B. When it is determined that the movable effect pattern is the pattern B, the process proceeds to S347, selects the movable effect process data corresponding to the pattern B, and proceeds to S349.

  When it is determined in S346 that the movable effect pattern is not the pattern B, the process proceeds to S348, selects the movable effect process data corresponding to the pattern C, and proceeds to S349. In S349, the movable effect process timer is started, control of the content of the first process data of the movable effect is performed (S350), and the process ends.

  In S351, the movable effect process timer is decremented by one, and the process proceeds to S352. In S352, the movable effect period timer is decremented by one. Then, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether or not the movable effect period timer has expired (S353). If the movable effect period timer has expired, the process proceeds to S360 to end the movable effect, clears the movable effect execution flag, and clears the movable effect suspend flag if the movable effect suspend flag is set. Then, the movable effect processing ends.

  On the other hand, when the movable effect period timer has not expired, the process proceeds to S354, and it is determined whether the movable effect suspension flag is set. If the movable effect suspension flag is set, the process ends. If the movable effect suspension flag has not been set, the process proceeds to S355, and it is determined whether the movable effect process timer has expired. If the movable effect process timer has not expired, the process proceeds to step S358. If the movable effect process timer has expired, switching of the movable effect process data is executed, and the next movable effect process timer is started. (S356, S357).

  Then, the effect control CPU 120 executes the control contents of the movable effect process data, and determines whether or not the movable effect pattern is the pattern A (S358, S359). If the movable effect pattern is the pattern A, the process ends. If the movable effect pattern is not the pattern A, the process proceeds to S362 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in S362, the effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not the movable effect pattern is the pattern B. When the movable effect pattern is not the pattern B (when the movable effect pattern is the pattern C), the process proceeds to S378 in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the movable effect pattern is the pattern B, the process proceeds to S363, and it is determined whether the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B have started moving from the first position to the second position during the movable effect period. Determine whether or not. If the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B are not at the movement start timing from the first position to the second position, the process proceeds to S368, and if it is the movement start timing from the first position to the second position. , S364.

  In S364, effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not frame-side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is in a detection state, that is, whether frame-side effector 301B is located at the first position. Determine whether or not. When the frame-side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is in the detection state, the process proceeds to S365, and whether the board-side effector position sensor 340A corresponding to the first position is in the detection state, It is determined whether or not the board side presentation body 311B is located at the first position. When the board-side effector position sensor 340A corresponding to the first position is in the detection state, it is determined that the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B are normally located at the first position, and the processing is performed. finish.

  On the other hand, if the frame-side effector position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is not in the detection state in S364, or if the board-side effector position sensor 340A is not in the detection state in S365, either of them is the first position. , That is, there is a possibility that an operation abnormality has occurred, the process proceeds to S366, and sets a movable effect suspension flag in S366. In the sub-side error processing, the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B Is set (S367), and the process ends.

  In the present embodiment, when the production control CPU 120 sets the movable production suspension flag at each timing in the movable production processing, the super-reach production is scheduled to be executed after the set timing while the execution of the super reach production is continued. Stop the moving effect process. In addition, when the return flag is set at each timing in the movable effect process, the return operation process for returning each effector to the first position in the sub-side error process is performed in parallel with the execution of the super reach effect. Execute. In the return operation process, the origin return operation is performed a plurality of times (for example, three times) as in the return operation process in the second initialization process of S51. In addition, in the return operation process, when each of the directors has returned to the origin position, the error record is cleared. Next time, when the fluctuation pattern of the super reach β is executed, it is determined in S310 that there is an operation error record, so that it is possible to prevent the movable effect from being started without eliminating the operation abnormality.

  In addition, by performing the return operation process of each of the effectors to the first position by the sub-side error process, for example, when an operation abnormality occurs near the end of the movable effect, the return operation can be performed even after the movable effect ends. Since the operation processing can be executed in parallel, the return operation processing can be executed reliably. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be executed in the movable effect processing. Good.

If the movement of the frame side effector 301C from the second position to the third position has not been completed, the process proceeds to S398 in FIG. On the other hand, when it is the timing to complete the movement of the frame-side effect body 301C from the second position to the third position, the process proceeds to S394.

  In S394, effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not frame side effector position sensor 330E corresponding to the third position is in a detection state, that is, whether frame side effector 301C is located at the third position.

To end.

  In addition, at the timing when it is determined that the frame-side effect body 301C and the board-side effector 311C are normally located at the third position in S394 and S395, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the composite effect portion has been formed. LED 350A, 350B, 350C for frame-side characters, LED 360A, 360B, 360C for panel-side characters, LED 351A, 351B, 351C for frame-side background, LED 361A, 361B, 361C for panel-side background, and LED 9 for production in a special light emitting mode At the same time, a special effect for displaying a special image (for example, a cut-in image or the like) on the effect display device 5 is executed. The control of causing these LEDs to emit light and displaying an image on the effect display device 5 at the start of the movable effect or at the timing when the composite effect portion is formed is executed according to the process data.

In the sub-side error processing, the frame-side production bodies 301B and 301C and the board-side production A return flag for returning the bodies 311B and 311C to the first position is set (S397), and the process ends.

  As shown in FIG. 17, in S398, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether the frame-side effecting body 301C and the board-side effecting body 311C have reached the timing of completing the movement from the third position to the first position during the movable effecting period. judge. At the timing when the frame-side director 301C and the board-side director 311C that move from the third position to the first position reach the second position, the frame-side director 301B and the board-side director 311B become the frame-side director 301C. And it moves to a 1st position with board side effect body 311C.

  If the frame-side effector 301C is not at the timing of completing the movement from the third position to the first position (the time at which the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B are moving from the second position to the first position), the timing is not determined. The process ends. On the other hand, when the frame-side effect body 301C is at the timing of completing the movement from the third position to the first position, the process proceeds to S399.

  In S399, effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not frame-side effector position sensor 330C corresponding to the first position is in a detection state, that is, whether or not frame-side effector 301C is located at the first position. Is determined. At this time, it is also determined whether or not the frame-side effect body position sensor 330A corresponding to the first position is in a detection state, that is, whether or not the frame-side effect body 301B is located at the first position.

  When the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C corresponding to the first position are in the detection state, the process proceeds to S400, and whether the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C corresponding to the first position are in the detection state. That is, it is determined whether or not the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are located at the first position. When the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C corresponding to the first position are in the detection state, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are normally located at the first position. And the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C corresponding to the first position are not in the detection state in S399, or if the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are not in the detection state in S400, either Is not located at the first position, that is, it is determined that there is a possibility that an operation abnormality has occurred, and the process proceeds to S401. In S401, the movable effect suspension flag is set, and in the sub-side error processing, the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C Then, a return flag for returning the board-side effectors 311B and 311C to the first position is set (S402), and the process ends.

  In this embodiment, at each movement start timing in S363, S378, and S388 and in each movement completion timing in S368, S373, S383, S393, and 398, the effect control CPU 120 detects any one of the effector position sensors. Although the mode in which the movable effect suspension flag is set when the state is not in the state is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. If one of the effector position sensors is not in the detection state at each timing, a plurality of times ( For example, if the detection state of each effector position sensor is checked over three times (for example, three times) and it is determined that the state is not the detection state, the movable effect suspension flag may be set.

  Further, the processing of S378 to S387 in FIG. 22 may be the same processing as the processing of S363 to S372 in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 13, in S330, it is confirmed whether or not the fluctuation control timer has expired (S330). If the variation control timer is out (S330; Y), the effect control CPU 120 displays the next display screen of the left-middle-right effect symbol (30 ms after the previous effect symbol display switching time). The image data of the target screen) is created and written in a predetermined area of the VRAM (S331). In this way, in the effect display device 5, the fluctuation control of the effect symbol is realized. The display control unit 123 transmits to the effect display device 5 a signal based on data obtained by superimposing image data of a predetermined area such as a set background image and image data based on display control execution data set in a process table. Output. In this way, the effect display device 5 displays the background image, the character image, and the effect design in the variation of the effect design. Further, a predetermined value is reset in the fluctuation control timer (S332).

  If the variation control timer has not expired (S330; N), after executing S332, the effect control CPU 120 checks whether the variation time timer has expired (S333). If the variation time timer has expired, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to a value corresponding to the effect symbol variation stop process (S) (S335). Even if the fluctuation time timer has not expired, if the confirmation command reception flag indicating that the symbol confirmation designation command has been received is set (S334; Y), the value of the production control process flag is changed to the production symbol fluctuation stop processing (S334). The value is updated to a value according to S76) (S335). Even if the fluctuation time timer is not out of timer, the control shifts to control to stop the fluctuation when the symbol confirmation designation command is received. For example, a fluctuation pattern specification command that indicates a long fluctuation time due to noise between boards, etc. Even in the case of receiving, the fluctuation of the effect symbol can be ended when the normal fluctuation time has elapsed (at the end of the fluctuation of the special symbol).

  In the process table used for effect symbol variation control, process data during the effect symbol variation display is set. That is, the sum of the process timer set values of the process data 1 to n in the process table corresponds to the fluctuation time of the effect symbol. Therefore, when the process timer of the last process data n has expired in the process of S334, there is no process data to be switched (display control execution data, LED control execution data, etc.), and the effect control of the effect symbol based on the process table ends. I do.

  Next, the control content of the super reach effect executed by the effect control CPU 120 during the fluctuation display based on the super reach β fluctuation pattern will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 19 is a timing chart showing an example of control contents when a movable effect based on the effect pattern C is executed. FIGS. 20A to 20G are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of a super-reach production effect.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the effect control CPU 120 displays the variation display by the effect symbol on the effect display device 5 at a timing T2 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T1 at which the effect symbol variation display based on the super reach β variation pattern was started. Is set to the reach state (see FIG. 20 (A)), and is developed into a super reach effect (see FIG. 20 (B)). In the super reach effect, the ally character and the enemy character battle (see FIG. 20C), and if the ally character wins, a big hit occurs, and if the ally character loses, the game loses.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 starts the movable effect immediately before the battle is settled, that is, at a timing T3 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T2 at which the super reach effect was started. Specifically, effect control CPU 120 first determines whether or not frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in a detection state, that is, frame-side effectors 301B and 301C. Then, it is determined whether or not the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are located at the first position (origin position). When the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in the detection state, that is, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are in the first position ( When it is located at the (origin position), lighting of the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C and the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C is started, and the frame-side effector motors 310A, 310B and the board-side effector. The frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are driven by the motors 320A and 320B.

  Next, a predetermined period from the timing T3, that is, a period (for example, about 1 second) required for the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C to reach the second position from the first position has elapsed. At the timing T4, it is determined whether or not the frame-side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board-side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C. It is determined whether it is located at the second position. When the frame-side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board-side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in a detection state, that is, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are moved to the second position. When it is determined that the movement has been performed normally, the frame-side effector motor 310A and the board-side effector motor 320A are stopped, and the frame-side effector motor 310B and the board-side effector motor 320B are continuously driven. . As a result, the characters "hot" are formed by the frame-side directors 301A and 301B and the board-side directors 311A and 311B, and the frame-side director 301C and the board-side director 311C pass through the second position. Further, it moves toward the third position.

  At a timing T5 when a predetermined period from the timing T4, that is, at a timing T5 when a period (for example, about 1 second) required for the frame-side director 301C and the board-side director 311C to reach the third position from the second position has elapsed. It is determined whether or not effect body position sensor 330E and board-side effect body position sensor 340E are in a detection state, that is, whether or not frame-side effect body 301C and board-side effector 311C are located at the third position. Then, when the frame-side effector position sensor 330E and the board-side effector position sensor 340E are in a detection state, that is, when it is determined that the frame-side effector 301C and the board-side effector 311C have moved normally to the third position. Then, the drive of the frame-side effector motor 310B and the board-side effector motor 320B is stopped. As a result, the characters "super heat" are formed by the frame-side effects 301A, 301B, 301C and the board-side effects 311A, 311B, 311C (see FIG. 20D).

  Furthermore, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the frame-side effectors 301A, 301B, and 301C and the board-side effectors 311A, 311B, and 311C form a composite effect portion having a character of “super heat”. The frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the effect LED 9 emit light corresponding to the pattern C (for example, red, gold, rainbow, etc. FIG. 18 (C) and FIG. 20). (D), and a special effect of displaying a cut-in image (for example, a large character image) in a mode corresponding to the pattern C on the effect display device 5 is executed (see FIG. 20 (D)). )reference).

  Further, when the pattern A is determined as the movable effect pattern, it is determined whether or not the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in the detection state at the timing T3. When it is determined that the side directors 301B, 301C and the board-side directors 311B, 311B are located at the first position (origin position), the character “Heat” is displayed by the frame-side director 301A and the board-side director 311A. Based on the formation of the composite effect portion having the LED 351A for the frame-side background, the LED 361A for the board-side background, and the LED 9 for the effect, the emission color corresponding to the pattern A (for example, white, blue, etc .; FIG. 20 (F)). (See the hatched area), and a cut-in image (for example, a character Performing a special effect for displaying an image is small) see (FIG. 20 (F)).

  When the pattern B is determined as the movable effect pattern, the frame-side effector position sensor 330B and the board-side effector position sensor 340B at a timing T4 after a predetermined period (for example, about 1 second) has elapsed from the timing T3. Is in the detection state, that is, whether or not the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B are located at the second position. Then, when the frame-side effector position sensor 330B and the board-side effector position sensor 340B are in a detection state, that is, when it is determined that the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B have moved normally to the second position. Then, the frame-side effector motor 310A and the board-side effector motor 320A are stopped. As a result, the characters “hot” are formed by the frame-side effectors 301A and 301B and the board-side effectors 311A and 311B. Then, the CPU 120 for effect control determines that the frame-side effectors 301A and 301B and the board-side effectors 311A and 311B form a composite effect portion having a character of “hot heat”, and the frame-side background LED 351A. , 351B, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, and the effect LED 9 are illuminated in a luminescent color (for example, yellow, green, etc .; see the shaded area in FIG. 18B) corresponding to the pattern B, and the effect display device 5 A special effect of displaying a cut-in image (for example, in a character image) in a mode corresponding to the pattern B is executed (not shown).

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the case of the pattern C, the special effect is executed from the timing T5 to the timing T6 when the composite effect portion of “super heat” is formed, and in the case of the pattern B, the special effect is performed. It is executed over the period from timing T4 to the timing T6 when the composite effect part of "hot heat" is formed. In the case of the pattern A, the special effect is the period from the timing T3 to the timing T6 at which the composite effect part of "heat" is formed. However, the patterns A and B may also be started from the timing T5 corresponding to the pattern C. In addition, the end timing of the special effect is not limited to the timing T6, and may end at a timing after a certain period has elapsed since the start of the special effect.

  Then, at timing T6 when the special effect ends, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C, and the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, and 351C. The board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, and 361C are turned off, and the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are moved to the first position when they are moving to the second position or the third position. Let it.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the present embodiment, the moving speed and the moving speed when the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C advance to the second position and the third position in the patterns C and B, respectively. Although the moving speed for retracting from the second position or the third position to the first position is the same, the advance speed and the retracting speed may be different. For example, by making the advance speed higher than the evacuation speed, it is possible to make it appear that the composite effect part is formed more instantaneously. Therefore, it is possible to provide an effect with an impact, while the evacuation operation speed (origin return operation) is provided. By setting the (speed) to the minimum control speed in the above-described actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control), it is possible to preferably perform the home position return.

  Next, when the fluctuation display result is a big hit, a fixed notification indicating that the battle has been won and the big hit has been executed is executed (see FIG. 20 (E)). On the other hand, when the fluctuation display result is a loss, a definite notification indicating that the player has lost the battle and lost the battle is executed (see FIG. 20 (G)). It should be noted that the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 or the movable effect of the third effect device 500 may be changed according to the result of the fluctuation display (for example, only in the case of a big hit) from the end of the movable effect to the execution of the confirmation notification. A movable body effect or the like for operating the body 501 may be executed. In addition, a movable body effect that operates the movable body 401 of the second effect device 400 and the movable body 501 of the third effect device 500 may be executed in conjunction with the execution of the movable effect.

  In the present embodiment, at the timing T6 when the special effect ends, the effect control CPU 120 turns on the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C and the frame-side background. The LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C and the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C are turned off (see FIGS. 20 (E) and (G)), but based on the pattern executed in FIGS. 20 (D) and (E). The special effect may be continued until the final notification is completed. In this case, when the big hit is confirmed, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C, and the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, and 351C, and the panel-side background LED 361A , 361B, and 361C emit light in rainbow colors, and when the loss is confirmed, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C and the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, and 351C are provided. It is preferable to turn off the board side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C.

  As described above, the movable effects based on the patterns B and C are provided on the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C provided on the glass door frame 50 side as the first member and on the gaming machine frame 3 side as the second member. The board-side presentation bodies 311B and 311C are linked to the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third corresponding position) to display characters on the front of the frame-side presentation bodies 301B and 301C. The half part (the first production part 372A) and the lower half part (the second production part 372B) of the characters displayed on the front of the board-side production bodies 311B and 311C are arranged close to the positions corresponding to the up and down, respectively, In the case where a composite effect part composed of two characters (for example, “super heat”) or three characters (for example, “super heat”) and a background arranged in the left-right direction is formed, the frame-side character LED 350A is formed. , 350B, 350C, LE for board side characters 360A, in which 360B, 360C and the frame-side background LED351A, 351B, 351C, panel-side background LED361A, 361B, special effects by displaying cut-in images in lighting and effect display device 5 of 361C is performed.

  However, frame-side directors 301B and 301C in which the upper half of "super" and "super" are respectively displayed, and board-side directors 311B and 311C in which the lower half of "super" and "super" are displayed respectively. Are provided at separate locations and can be independently driven by separate drive mechanisms 302 and 312, so that, for example, at least one of the frame-side production body and the board-side production body It does not work due to some reason (for example, catching, failure of motor (drive source), disconnection, noise, etc.). That is, if an operation abnormality occurs, even if only the other works, one character, that is, the first effect A composite effect part including the part 372A and the second effect part 372B is not formed.

  In particular, since the effect control board 12 is provided on the back side of the game board 2, that is, on the game machine frame 3 side, the frame side effectors 301B and 301C provided on the glass door frame 50 side as the first member are used. The frame-side effector motors 310A and 310B to be driven are compared to the board-side effector motors 320A and 320B that drive the board-side effectors 311B and 311C provided on the gaming machine frame 3 side as the second member. Since the length of the wiring connected to the effect control board 12 becomes longer, and the glass door frame 50 can be opened and closed with respect to the gaming machine frame 3, bending occurs at a predetermined portion of the wiring according to the opening and closing of the glass door frame 50. The longer wiring not only makes the wiring more susceptible to noise, but also increases the number of connection points with the relay board and the like, so that the possibility of disconnection increases. In addition, the vibration due to the opening and closing of the glass door frame 50 is likely to cause catching or the like.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 does not form a composite effect part when at least one of the frame-side effector and the board-side effector does not operate in the movable effect, even if only the other operates. , Do not perform special effects.

  Here, the contents of control performed when an operation abnormality occurs during execution of the movable effect based on the effect pattern C will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 21 is a timing chart illustrating an example of control contents when an operation abnormality occurs during execution of a movable effect based on the effect pattern C. FIGS. 22A to 22D are explanatory diagrams corresponding to FIG. 21. FIG. 23 is a timing chart illustrating another example of the control content when an operation abnormality occurs during the execution of the movable effect based on the effect pattern C.

  As shown in FIG. 21, at the timing T3 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T2 at which the super reach effect was started, the effect control CPU 120 sets the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C. Is determined to be in the detection state, and when the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board-side effector position sensors 340A and 340C are in the detection state, that is, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side When the effectors 311B and 311C are located at the first position (origin position), the lighting of the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B and 350C and the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B and 360C is started, and the frame-side effector is started. Effects by the motors 310A, 310B for the board and the motors 320A, 320B for the board-side effects. 301B, 301C and panel side effect body 311B, drives the 311C (see FIG. 22 (A) (B)).

  Next, at a timing T4 when a predetermined period (for example, about 1 second) has elapsed from the timing T3, it is determined whether or not the frame-side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board-side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in a detection state. I do. Here, for example, the frame-side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board-side effector position sensor 340D are in the detection state, but the board-side effector position sensor 340B is not in the detection state, that is, the board-side effector 311B. If it is determined that has not moved to the second position, it is determined that the board-side effector 311B has not moved from the first position or has stopped between the first position and the second position. Then, a movable effect suspending flag is set, a process for interrupting the movable effect is executed, and a return flag for returning each of the moved effected bodies to the first position is set.

  More specifically, based on the setting of the movable effect suspension flag, all the frame-side effector motors 310A, 310B and the board-side effector motors 320A, 320B are stopped, and the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B are stopped. , 350C and the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C are turned off, and the movable effect is interrupted (see FIG. 22C). Therefore, even when the frame-side effector 301C and the board-side effector 311C arrive at the third position, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the effector The LED 9 is kept off, and the effect display device 5 does not display a cut-in image as a special image. That is, no special effect is performed.

  Also, based on the setting of the return flag, a return operation control is performed to return the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effector 311C that have moved to the second position to the first position (FIG. 22 ( D)).

  In this way, the effect control CPU 120 starts any process of moving the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C from the first position to the third position. When it is determined that (the board-side effect body 311B in this case) has not moved to the second position, the movable effect is interrupted. That is, since a composite effect part consisting of the characters "super heat" cannot be formed, a special effect performed when the compound effect part is formed is not executed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 22C, an inappropriate effect is produced in a state in which the upper half of “super” and the majority of “super” are vertically arranged close to each other and no composite effect part is formed. Can be avoided.

  In FIG. 21, at the timing T4 when the frame-side directors 301B and 301C and the board-side directors 311B and 311C reach the second position, the board-side director 311B does not move from the first position, and thus the second position. Although the form which is not detected is exemplified in the above, the movable effect is also interrupted even when the movement has been performed from the first position but stopped before reaching the second position.

  Further, in FIG. 21, at the timing T4 when the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C reach the second position, the movable effect is achieved because the board-side effector 311B has not reached the second position. Is exemplified, but even if at least one of the frame-side effects 301B and 301C and the board-side effects 311C other than the frame-side effects 301B does not reach the second position, the mobile effects Interrupt.

  In addition, at timing T4, it is determined that all the frame-side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board-side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, all the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effector. Although the directors 311B and 311C have moved to the second position, at the timing when the frame side director 301C and the board side director 311C reach the third position, the frame side director position sensor 330E and the panel side director position sensor 340E. If at least one of them does not enter the detection state, that is, if it is determined that it has not moved to the third position, one of them has not moved from the second position, or between the second position and the third position. As a result, the moving effect suspension flag was set, the process for interrupting the moving effect was executed, and the moving effect was moved. It sets a return flag for returning the presentation member to the first position.

  Further, in the present embodiment, at timing T4, it is determined that all the frame-side effector position sensors 330B and 330D and the board-side effector position sensors 340B and 340D are in the detection state, that is, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C. And if any of the board-side effectors 311B and 311C does not move to the second position (the second corresponding position), the movable effect is interrupted. If it can be detected that the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effector 311B have moved to the second position (second corresponding position), the effect does not have to be interrupted at the timing T4.

  Further, in FIG. 21, at the timing T4 when the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C reach the second position, the movable effect is achieved because the board-side effector 311B has not reached the second position. 23, for example, as shown in FIG. 23, at a timing T3 when a predetermined period has elapsed from the timing T2 when the super reach effect was started, the frame-side effector position sensors 330A and 330C and the board-side effector When at least one of the position sensors 340A and 340C is in the non-detection state, that is, at least one of the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C is located at the first position. If not, a movable effect suspension flag is set and the movable effect is interrupted.

  As a factor when at least one of the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C is not located at the first position, for example, the influence of noise during the period other than the execution period of the movable effect It is conceivable that the frame-side effector motors 310A and 310B and the board-side effector motors 320A and 320B malfunction due to, for example, or that the effector moves due to vibration of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In such a case, the movable production is interrupted because it is not possible to form a composite production part consisting of the characters "super heat". It can be avoided that a direct effect is performed.

  As described above, the effect control CPU 120 performs the predetermined effect timing in the execution period of the super reach β effect (hereinafter, abbreviated as the super reach effect) (in this embodiment, the timing immediately before the execution of the notification of the big hit or the loss). In, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effector move from the first position to the second position or the third position (change from the first state to the second state), and the frame-side effector 301A. , 301B, 301C and the board-side effectors 311A, 311B, 311C, when a composite effect part composed of a plurality of effect parts is formed, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C and the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B. , 360C, frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, While the special LED display 9 emits light in a special light emission mode and a special image (for example, a cut-in image or the like) is displayed on the effect display device 5, it is possible to execute a special effect at the predetermined effect timing. If the composite effect part is not formed without moving the 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position or the third position, the special effect is not executed. Specifically, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C, the panel-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, and 351C, the panel-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, and 361C, and the effect LED 9 are turned off. At the same time, the effect display device 5 does not display a cut-in image as a special image.

  Further, effect control CPU 120 moves frame-side effectors 301B, 301C from the first corresponding position to the second corresponding position in conjunction with the movement of board-side effectors 311B, 311C from the first position to the second position. In conjunction with the first interlocking effect to be performed and the movement of the board-side effectors 311B and 311C from the second position to the second position, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C are moved from the second corresponding position to the third corresponding position. The second interlocking effect can be executed.

  Then, the second interlocking effect can be executed after the execution of the first interlocking effect. By executing the first interlocking effect, the board-side effects 311B and 311C move to the second position, and the frame-side effects 301B and 301C move to the second position. By starting the second interlocking effect based on the change to the second corresponding position, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C do not move to the second position, or the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C move to the second corresponding position. Since the second interlocking effect is not performed even though the second interlocking effect is not performed, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable due to the inappropriate second interlocking effect being executed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the effect control CPU 120 moves the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C to the first corresponding position in conjunction with the movement of the board-side effectors 311B, 311C from the first position to the second position. And at the timing T3 immediately before the execution of the jackpot or out-of-office notification, one of the board-side effects 311B and 311C and the frame-side effects 301B and 301C operates. If the state is not possible, by not operating the other, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable due to the execution of an inappropriate effect.

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 sets the frame-side effectors 301A and 301B at effect timings other than the predetermined effect timing (for example, the timing immediately before executing the jackpot or loss confirmation notification during the execution of the super reach β effect). , 301C can be executed independently.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 24, the effect display window 60 includes an upper portion of the frame side light emitting portion 9L and an upper portion of the frame side light emitting portion 9R extending vertically in the left and right side portions of the glass door frame 50. It is formed horizontally long so as to be continuously provided. In the state where the movable effect is not performed, the first effect device 300 passes through the effect display window 60 because the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are at the first position (origin position). Then, the state in which the frame-side effect body 301A and the frame-side light-emitting portion 9H are arranged side by side becomes visible.

  Here, although the outline of the character of the upper half of “heat” is decorated on the front surface of the frame-side effect body 301A, as shown in FIG. 24 (A), the frame-side character LED 350A and the frame-side background If the LED 351A is turned off, the characters in the upper half of "heat" are inconspicuous. If the LED 360A for the character on the board side and the LED 361A for the background on the board are turned off, the character in the lower half of the "heat" is inconspicuous.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 24B, the effect control CPU 120 turns off the board-side character LED 360A and the board-side background LED 361A in a state where the movable effect is not performed, and also provides the board-side effector 311B. , 311C in the first position, the frame-side light-emitting unit 9H, the frame-side character LED 350A, and the frame-side background LED 351A emit light in a light-emitting mode corresponding to the light-emitting mode of the frame-side light-emitting units 9L and 9R. In other words, the single effect by the frame-side effectors 301A, 301B, 301C can be executed as an effect other than the movable effect (for example, a notice effect or a big hit effect). In this manner, the frame-side effect body 301A that forms a part of the composite effector in the movable effect can be used without discomfort as a part of the frame-side light-emitting unit similar to the frame-side light-emitting units 9L, 9R, and 9H. . By doing so, when a movable effect is performed, the part that normally emits light as a part of the frame-side light-emitting part constitutes a part of the composite effect part. Can be given.

  The effect control CPU 120 does not disturb the error notification, for example, when the frame-side light-emitting units 9L, 9R, and 9H emit light to notify the error in response to the occurrence of a predetermined error (abnormality). As described above, the execution of the movable effect may be restricted, and the error notification may be executed with priority. By doing so, the clerk of the game store or the like can grasp the occurrence of the abnormality at an early stage.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the frame-side effectors 301A, 301B, and 301C as the first effectors provided on the glass door frame 50 as the first member. And board-side effectors 311A, 311B, 311C as second effectors provided on the gaming machine frame 3 as a second member different from the glass door frame 50, and the board-side effectors 311B, 311C are: It is possible to move between the first position and the third position by a predetermined operation, and the effect control CPU 120 performs the board-side effect at a timing immediately before executing the notification of the big hit or the loss during the execution period of the super reach β effect. The body 311B, 311C moves from the first position to the second position or the third position, and the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C move from the first corresponding position to the second corresponding position. Is moved to the third corresponding position, and is composed of a plurality of rendering units including a first rendering unit 372A of the frame-side rendering units 301A, 301B, 301C and a second rendering unit 372B of the board-side rendering units 311A, 311B, 311C. When the composite effect portion is formed, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, A special effect of causing the effect LED 9 to emit light in a special light emission mode and displaying a special image (for example, a cut-in image or the like) on the effect display device 5 can be executed. 311B and 311C do not move from the first position to the second position or the third position, and the composite effect part is not formed. In this case, the special effect is not executed (for example, in this embodiment, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, and the board-side background LED) The LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C and the effect LED 9 are turned off, and the effect display device 5 does not display a cut-in image as a special image.)

  By doing so, one of the board-side effects 311B and 311C (frame-side effects 301B and 301C) is moved to the second position (the second corresponding position) or the third position (the third corresponding position). Since no special effect is performed even though the composite effect portion is not formed, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable due to the inappropriate effect being executed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a big hit occurs, a reach state is always established and one of the super reach β, the super reach α, and the normal reach is executed, and the super reach β, the super reach α, the normal reach Are set such that the big hit expectation (big hit reliability) in which the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” in the order of: Therefore, when a movable effect (special effect) is executed in the movable effect of the super reach β effect, a value (for example, a big hit game state) advantageous to the player is higher than when the movable effect (special effect) is not executed. Will be granted. In other words, the super reach β production in which the special production is performed is a production with a high degree of advantage for the player when it is performed, so that the player expects that the special production will be performed in the movable production. Therefore, it is possible to draw attention to special effects.

  In addition, the degree of advantage is, for example, not only the degree of expectation for the execution (grant) of the prize ball, the number of rounds of the big hit, the control of the increase of the pitches such as the big hit, the probability variation control, and the time saving control, but also the above-mentioned control. Includes the degree of expectation for the execution of an effect that suggests execution (successful effect). In other words, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the special effect is performed at a higher rate than when it is not determined when the prize ball, the number of jackpot rounds, the jackpot, the probability variation control, the time saving control, or the execution (addition) of the effect success are determined. You will decide to run.

  Further, in the present embodiment, at the timing immediately before executing the jackpot or loss confirmation notification in the execution period of the super reach β effect, the effect control CPU 120 performs the board-side effectors 311B and 311C (the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C). ) Does not move to the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third corresponding position), and the special effect is not executed when the composite effect part is not formed (for example, in the present embodiment). Then, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, 350C, the panel-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the panel-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and the effect LED 9 are turned off. The cut-in image as a special image is not displayed on the effect display device 5). The light is not limited to this. For example, one of the board-side effects 311B and 311C (frame-side effects 301B and 301C) may be in the second position (second corresponding position) or the third position (third position). When the composite effect part is not formed without moving to the corresponding position), a special effect different from the special effect may be executable.

  Specifically, at the execution timing of the special effect, the frame-side character LEDs 350A, 350B, and 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, and 360C, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, and 351C, and the board-side background LEDs 361A and 361B, 361C, the effect LED 9 is caused to emit light in a special light emission mode different from the special light emission mode (for example, a light emission mode in which a light emission color, a light emission luminance, and the like are different), and the effect display apparatus 5 is different from a cut-in image as a special image. May display a different cut-in image (for example, an image without a character), or may display an image different from the cut-in image. In this way, the staging effect is reduced without doing anything. Can be suppressed.

  That is, in the present embodiment, in the movable effect, if any of the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C and the board-side effectors 311B, 311C does not operate normally, the movable effect is interrupted without moving from the beginning at the movement start timing. Moving, stopping the movement in the middle of the movement to interrupt the movable effect, and moving in the case where the movement has not been moved to the second position (the second corresponding position) or the third position (the third corresponding position) at the movement completion timing. Is not included, that is, when the composite effect part is not formed by not executing the operation processing of the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C from the beginning, or executing the operation process. In the case where the composite effect part is not formed, the mode in which the special effect is not executed by interrupting the movable effect is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the case where the composite effect part is not formed by not executing the operation processing of the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C from the beginning, or the case where the operation effect processing is executed but the effect effect is not formed Alternatively, a special effect other than the special effect may be executed without interrupting the movable effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, not only the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effector but also the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C as the first effector include the second corresponding position or the third corresponding position, Are provided so as to be movable in the left-right direction.

  As described above, not only the second production section but also the first production section are provided so as to be movable, so that the production effect can be enhanced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 moves the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C from the first corresponding position to the first effect position in conjunction with the movement of the board-side effectors 311B, 311C from the first position to the second position. In response to the first interlocking effect of moving to the second corresponding position and the movement of the board-side effectors 311B and 311C from the second position to the third position, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C move from the second corresponding position to the third position. And a second interlocking effect of moving to the corresponding position.

  By doing so, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C and the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C move to the third position and the third corresponding position via the second position and the second corresponding position. Can be increased.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 can execute the second interlocked effect after the execution of the first interlocked effect, and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C move to the second position by executing the first interlocked effect. Then, based on the fact that the frame side effectors 301B and 301C have changed to the second corresponding position, the second interlocking effect is started.

  By doing so, the second interlocking effect may be performed even though the board-side effectors 311B and 311C do not move to the second position or the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C do not move to the second corresponding position. Since there is no improper second interlocking effect, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable due to the execution of the inappropriate second interlocking effect.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24 (B), the effect control CPU 120 turns off the board-side character LED 360A and the board-side background LED 361A, and moves the board-side effectors 311B, 311C to the first position. , The frame-side light-emitting unit 9H, the frame-side character LED 350A, and the frame-side background LED 351A can emit light in a light-emitting mode corresponding to the light-emitting mode of the frame-side light-emitting units 9L and 9R.

  By doing so, the first effect unit 372A can be used for other effects other than the movable effect, so that the effect can be enhanced.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, the effect control CPU 120 interlocks with the movement of the board-side effectors 311B and 311C from the first position to the second position, and causes the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C to move. Can be moved from the first corresponding position to the second corresponding position. At a timing T3 immediately before executing the jackpot or out-of-office notification, the board-side effectors 311B and 311C and the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and If one of them is inoperable, it is not operated even if the other is operable.

  By doing in this way, even if one of the first and second production units does not change, the other does not change, so that an improper production is performed and the player feels uncomfortable. Can be suppressed.

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.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the first rendering portion provided on the glass door frame 50 as the first member is the frame-side rendering body 301A, 301B, 301C, and the second rendering portion provided on the gaming machine frame 3 as the second member. Although the form which made the production part board side production body 311A, 311B, 311C was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The 1st production part provided in the frame 3 for gaming machines as a 1st member is provided. The board-side effectors 311A, 311B, and 311C may be used, and the second effect portion may be frame-side effectors 301A, 301B, and 301C as second members provided on the glass door frame 50.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which the glass door frame 50 and the gaming machine frame 3 are applied as the first member and the second member has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first member The second member and the second member may be two members provided on one of the glass door frame 50 and the game machine frame 3 as long as they are different members, or may be the glass door frame 50 or the second member. A member provided on a member other than the gaming machine frame 3 (for example, a lower door frame or an outer frame below the glass door frame 50) may be used. Alternatively, a first rendering part may be provided in a first part of one member, and a second rendering part may be provided in a second part different from the first part.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first effect device 300 is exemplified to be provided along the upper side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the left side may be used. , May be provided along the right side, the lower side, or the like, and may be provided at any position as long as the position is visible to the player from one viewpoint.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C as the first effector and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effector are provided near the upper side of the glass door frame 50, respectively. Although the present invention is not limited to this, the present invention is not limited to this, and at least the second rendering unit may have a plurality of rendering units independently arranged at a plurality of locations. Furthermore, the first production section and the second production section do not have to have a plurality of production sections, respectively, and may be constituted by only one production section.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the first effect device 300, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C as the first effector and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effector correspond to the upper and lower directions, respectively. , And the form provided so as to be movable in the left-right direction is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first production unit and the second production unit are only provided at positions corresponding to up and down. Instead, they may be provided at positions corresponding to left and right or front and rear.

  Further, as long as at least the second directing unit can be changed from the first state to the second state, the second directing unit does not need to be slidable between the first position and the second position as in the above embodiment. For example, it may be provided rotatably as in Modification 2. That is, as long as the state is changed by a predetermined operation (for example, movement, rotation, rotation, swing, deformation, or the like), it is not necessarily required to be movably provided.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which not only the board-side production bodies 311B and 311C as the second production unit are movable but also the frame-side production units 301B and 301C as the first production unit is also movable. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If at least the second production unit can be changed between the first state and the second state, the first production unit is not necessarily in the first corresponding state corresponding to the first state. And the second state corresponding to the second state may not be changeable.

  For example, in the case of the above-described embodiment, the frame-side directing body 301B serving as the first directing unit is previously positioned at the second corresponding position, and the frame-side directing body 301C is positioned at the third corresponding position. The board-side effects 311A, 311B, and 311C as the second effect portions can be moved to positions corresponding to the frame-side effects 301A, 301B, and 301C in a state where the half effects are fixed. May be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C as the first effectors and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effectors are positioned from the first position to the second position (second corresponding position). Alternatively, by moving to the third position (third corresponding position), a composite effect part (for example, “heat”, “super heat”, “super heat”) composed of the first effect part 372A and the second effect part 372B is provided. Is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. As in the case of the first effect device 300, the frame-side effectors 301A, 301B, 301C as the first effect parts and the first effect unit are formed. It is not limited to the one in which the composite directing part is formed only by the board-side directing bodies 311A, 311B, 311C of the two directing parts, but a plurality of directing parts including other directing parts other than the first directing part and the second directing part. As a composite production part is formed by the production part It may be.

  An example of such an embodiment will be described based on a first modification shown in FIG. FIG. 25 is a diagram showing a first modification of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the first modification is configured such that a first position on the back upper left and right sides of the gaming board 2 of the gaming machine frame 3 and a second position at the center of the back of the gaming board 2. Operable between second directing portions 701 and 702 that can swing between, and a first corresponding position forming the upper surface of the glass door frame 50 and a second corresponding position protruding from the upper surface of the glass door frame 50. It has first rendering units 711 and 712 and a third rendering unit 703 that is provided inoperable on the glass door frame 50 side. Then, after the left first rendering unit 711 and the right second rendering unit 701 have moved to the second position and the second corresponding position, the right first rendering unit 712 and the left second rendering unit 702 move to the second position. By moving to the second corresponding position, a plurality of rendering units including the first rendering units 711, 712, the second rendering units 701, 702, and the third rendering unit 703 allow the “V "Is displayed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the frame-side directors 301B and 301C as the first director and the board-side directors 311B and 311C as the second director are vertically close to each other when viewed from a predetermined viewpoint. The present invention is not limited to this, but the first effect parts 711 and 712 and the second effect parts 701 and 702 may be It may be arranged so as to be spaced apart (up and down) with the three effect parts 703 therebetween.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C as the first effectors and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effectors respectively face the second position (second corresponding position). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation mode of the first and second production units is changed as in the first modification. It may be different (for example, operation direction, operation angle, operation speed, etc.).

  Further, in the above-described embodiment and Modification Example 1, as the composite effect part, an effect part in which characters such as “ultra-hot heat” and “V” are visible is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. , If the composite directing part is formed by a plurality of directing parts, it includes not only characters such as "super heat" and "V" but also symbols, numbers, figures, designs, pictures, decorations, etc. Or may not include these (for example, a production part having a predetermined shape (for example, a circle or a star) formed by a plurality of production parts). Furthermore, it is not necessary that the plurality of staging units form a single staging body. For example, the left half of a character is formed by a plurality of first staging units, and a plurality of staging units are formed. The second effect part may form a composite effect part by forming the right half of the character.

  Next, a second modification of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a timing chart showing Modification 2 of the present invention.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 do not operate when the first effect device 300 operates in the movable effect has been described, for example, as illustrated in FIG. At the linkage start timing T3, the second rendering device 400 and the third rendering device 500 may be operated in conjunction with the first rendering device 300. By doing so, the effect of the production is further improved.

  In addition, when the glass door frame 50 is opened during the period in which the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 are operating in conjunction with the movable effect by the first effect device 300, the first effect at the opening timing T4. The operations of the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C as the units and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C as the second effector may be stopped. By doing in this way, the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C do not move even though the movement of the board-side effectors 311B, 311C is stopped by the opening of the glass door frame 50. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable by being executed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the frame-side effects body 301B, 301C of the first effect device 300 is covered with the effect display window 60, so that the structure cannot be touched from the outside. The first production section of the first production section and the second production section may be provided so as to project outward from the pachinko gaming machine 1. In this case, when the glass door frame 50 is opened in a state where the first production section is protruded, there is a possibility that the protruded first production section comes into contact with a neighboring structure such as a pachinko game machine or a game device or a person. Because of the danger, when the glass door frame 50 is opened during the period in which the first production section is projecting, it is preferable that the projection operation of the first production section be interrupted and stopped.

  Here, the second production unit is on the gaming machine frame 3 side and does not protrude outward, but when the projection operation of the first production unit is stopped, the movable production suspension flag is set, In response to this, the operation of the second effect unit is also stopped, so that it is possible to suppress the player from feeling uncomfortable due to the inappropriate effect being executed.

  In addition, in the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 linked to the movable effect of the first effect device 300, the second effect device 400 and the third effect device 500 are located on the gaming machine frame 3 side and do not protrude outward. It is possible to continue the operation without stopping in response to the stop of the operation of one effect device 300.

  In the second modification, when the glass door frame 50 is opened during the operation period of the frame-side effects 301B and 301C and the board-side effects 311B and 311C, the frame-side effects 301B and 301C and the board-side effects 311B. , 311C is stopped, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the frame-side effectors 301B, 301C and the board-side effectors 311B, 311C according to the opening of the glass door frame 50. After the above operation is stopped, it may be immediately returned to the origin position. In addition, in such a case, not only during the protruding operation period of the first production section, but also when the glass door frame 50 is opened in the protruding state, it is possible to return to the origin position. Contact with surrounding structures and people can be avoided.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 sets the movable effect immediately before executing the notification of the jackpot or the outfall in the execution period of the super reach β effect executed during the fluctuation display period based on the super reach β fluctuation pattern. The present invention is not limited to this example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Other timings during the execution period of the super-reach β effect (for example, the timing at which the reach is established, the timing at which the , The timing of executing the confirmation notification effect, etc.).

  In the above-described embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 is described as an example in which the movable effect is started when the timing immediately before executing the confirmation notification is reached, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, immediately before executing the confirmation notification, the movable effect may be started at the timing when the operation is detected during the operation effective period of the push button 31B or the stick controller 31A.

  Furthermore, the movable production is performed not only during the execution period of the super-reach β production, but also, for example, during the production other than the movable production (for example, during the announcement production that suggests the possibility of a big hit, the reach production, the pseudo continuous production, and the big success). The number of rounds informing effect that informs the number of rounds, the promotion information effect that informs the transition to the high-probability state after the end of the big hit, the state in which the transition to the high-probability state after the end of the big hit is controlled to the high-probability state in the state where it is not informed. May be executed at various timings.

  In the embodiment, in the movable effect based on the pattern C described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, at the timing T3, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are simultaneously moved to the second position. Although the form in which the character “super heat” is formed at a stroke by moving to the (second corresponding position) and the third position (third corresponding position) has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. Then, the frame-side directors 301B and 301C and the board-side directors 311B and 311C are moved to a second position (second corresponding position) and paused, and after a predetermined time from the temporary stop, the frame-side directors 301C and 301B The side effector 311C may be moved to a third position (third corresponding position).

  That is, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C may be moved stepwise (step-up). Also, for example, when reach is established, the frame-side directors 301B and 301C and the board-side directors 311B and 311C are moved to the second position (second corresponding position) and temporarily stopped, and during the reach director, the frame-side directors are provided. Each movement timing may be different, such as moving the 301C and the board-side effector 311C to a third position (a third corresponding position).

  Furthermore, before starting the movement of the frame-side effects 301B, 301C and the board-side effects 311B, 311C, the frame-side effects 301B, 301C and the board-side effects 311B, 311C are vibrated, and the frame-side character LED 350A is started. , 350B, 350C, the board-side character LEDs 360A, 360B, 360C and the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, etc., by flashing, etc. The operation may be performed.

  Further, in the embodiment, in the movable effect based on the pattern C described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20, the frame-side effectors 301B and 301C and the board-side effectors 311B and 311C are simultaneously moved to the second position (second correspondence). Position) and the third position (third corresponding position) are exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the frame-side effector 301B and the board-side effect corresponding to "super" After the body 311B is first moved to the second position (second corresponding position), the frame-side effector 301C and the board-side effector 311C corresponding to “super” are immediately moved to the third position (third corresponding position). It may be moved to.

  Furthermore, after moving the frame-side effector 301B to the second corresponding position, the board-side effector 311B is moved to the second position, and after moving the frame-side effector 301C to the third corresponding position, the board-side effector 311C is moved to the second position. The frame-side effects and the board-side effects may be alternately moved, such as by moving to three positions. That is, the interlocking of the first production unit and the second production unit does not necessarily have to operate together (simultaneously or simultaneously).

  Further, in the embodiment, as the special effect in the movable effect, the second area Z2 is illuminated by the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C and the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C, and cut-in in the effect display device 5. Although the form in which the image is displayed is described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect form of the special effect can be variously changed, and the effect may be an effect using an effect device other than the above. . More specifically, the first production means (for example, the frame-side background LEDs 351A, 351B, 351C) provided in the first production unit and the second production means (for example, the board-side background LEDs 361A, 361B, 361C), and may be an effect using an effect means (for example, effect display device 5 or the like) provided other than the first effect unit and the second effect unit.

  Further, according to the embodiment, the effect control CPU 120 as control means for controlling the operations of the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 includes the non-detection operation control and the detection operation as the first operation control. Control, operation control for actual operation confirmation as second operation control for confirming that the movable body can operate normally, and third operation control for performing movable performance and movable body production by the movable body. Can be executed, and when the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed, the speed is within a range between the minimum speed (low speed) as the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed higher than the minimum speed. When controlling the movable body to operate at the speed and performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control, the movable body operates at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control. To control.

  By doing so, in the first operation control, the movable body operates at a speed that can be stopped at any timing, and thus can be safely positioned at the origin position. Specifically, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control, the distance for moving the movable body to the origin position may be shorter than the actual operation confirmation operation control. By setting the maximum speed in the operation control to the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, the detection unit can be reliably detected by the detection unit, and the movement is restricted while the movable body is moved at high speed. Damage due to impact can be avoided.

  When performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control, if the movable body operates at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control, the non-detection operation control or the detection The control speed set when executing the operation control and the minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control may be the same control speed or different control speeds.

  When performing the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 always sets a single (constant) operation speed set in advance, that is, always sets the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. Control so that the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 operate. By doing so, the speed at which the first rendering device 300 and the second rendering device 400 are positioned at the origin position can be made constant, and damage to the first rendering device 300 and the second rendering device 400 can be prevented. Can be prevented.

  When performing the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 uses the first effect device 300 or the second effect device 400 at the lowest speed (first speed) in the actual operation check operation control. Is controlled to operate. By doing so, the speed is excessively reduced while ensuring the safe operation of the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 (for example, a speed lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). ), The period of the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control can be shortened by selecting the maximum speed (first speed) at which the operation can be performed safely without the operation.

  If the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state (ON) in S104 in the second initialization processing, the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control in S105 to S114. If it is in the detection state, the detection-time operation control in S120 to S128 is executed, and if it is not-detection-time operation control, it is controlled so that the movable body operates at the minimum speed in the detection-time operation control.

  In this way, the presence or absence of a defect in each origin position sensor can be grasped by the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control. Also, when performing the non-detection operation control, it is unknown whether or not the movable body is near the origin position. On the other hand, when performing the detection operation control, the movable body is at the origin position. Therefore, in the operation control at the time of detection, the operation may be performed at a speed higher than the operation control at the time of non-detection and at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation.

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 determines that the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S109 in the second initialization process when a specific abnormality (for example, an operation abnormality occurred during execution of the effect) has occurred. Until the number of motion error determinations reaches “3”, the control is performed such that the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 move toward the origin position at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation.

  By doing in this way, the first effect device 300 and the second effect are also performed in an abnormal operation performed when a specific abnormality (for example, an error such as an operation abnormality that occurs during the execution of the effect) occurs. The device 400 can be operated safely. Specifically, for example, when an operation abnormality occurs during the performance of an effect, and when the second initialization process is performed thereafter, the movable body has not returned to the origin position. Will be done. Further, when an operation abnormality occurs, the movable body may not operate even in the second initialization process. Therefore, the first effect device 300 or the second effect device is operated at the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the abnormality operation. Control is performed such that effect device 400 operates in the direction of the origin position.

  If there is an operation error of the target character in step S201 of the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to S220 and does not perform the actual operation check operation control.

  By doing so, it is possible to prevent the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 from stopping at positions other than the origin position during operation control for actual operation confirmation due to an abnormality. Specifically, for example, when an operation abnormality occurs during the execution of the effect, the movable body may not operate even in the second initialization process. In that case, even if the actual operation confirmation operation control is executed, It is preferable that the operation control for confirming the actual operation is not performed, since the load is only applied to the driving means and it becomes useless.

  Further, it has a first effect device 300 as a first movable body, a second effect device 400, and a third effect device 500 as a second movable role, and the effect control CPU 120 is used in the second initialization process. In step S102, when it is determined that the movable body is the origin detection target movable body that needs to perform the origin detection, the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control and the actual operation confirmation operation control are performed. If it is determined in step S102 that the movable body is not the origin detection target movable body that needs to perform origin detection, the process proceeds to step S130, and the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are not performed.

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

  Further, it has a first effect device 300 as a first movable body, a second effect device 400, and a third effect device 500 as a second movable role, and the effect control CPU 120 includes the first effect device 300 When performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation of each of the second effect devices 400, control is performed such that the movable body operates at the minimum speed in each actual operation confirmation operation control. The operation speed of the actual operation check operation control is different between the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400.

  By doing so, it is possible to shorten the periods of the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control while securing the safe operation of each movable body by the operation speed according to each movable body. For example, in the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400, even if the same control speed is set in the actual operation check operation control, the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, and drive mechanism of each movable body are set. In the case where there is a difference between them, the actual operation speed of each movable body when the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are executed will be different.

  Specifically, in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, even if the same control speed (minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control) is set, the weight of the plurality of movable bodies is reduced. The actual operation speed of a movable body having a large weight is lower than the actual operation speed of a movable body having a small weight. When the movable body is raised, the actual operation speed is lower than when the movable body is lowered. Also, when a spring or the like is provided as a drive mechanism for urging the movable part in the direction of the effect, when the spring is contracted and moved in a direction against the urging force, when the spring is extended, the urging force is The actual operation speed is slower than when moving in the direction against As described above, in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, when controlling the movable body to operate at a speed equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, the size of each movable body, It is preferable to set an individual minimum control speed in each actual operation check operation control in consideration of a weight, an operation mode, an operation distance, a driving mechanism, and the like.

  For example, the first movable portion and the second movable portion are arranged back and forth so that the second movable portion overlaps the near side of the first movable portion when viewed from the player when moving toward the origin position. When performing any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control, when performing the operation control of both the first movable unit and the second movable unit together, It is preferable to control the operation speeds (minimum speeds) of the first movable portion and the second movable portion to be different. By doing so, the power supply is assumed to be in a detection state in a state where the first movable portion and the second movable portion have moved to positions away from the origin position for some reason, respectively, and in the second initialization process of S51, When the non-detection operation control of both the first movable unit and the second movable unit is performed together, the operation speeds (minimum speeds) of both the first movable unit and the second movable unit are controlled to be the same. Then, it is difficult to see the situation where the first movable portion is hidden by the second movable portion and moves to the origin position. However, by controlling the first movable portion and the second movable portion to have different minimum speeds, the first movable portion is controlled to be different. Since the movable part and the second movable part are displaced when moving, it is easy to confirm the home position return operation of each of the first movable part and the second movable part.

  Further, even when the first movable portion and the second movable portion that are larger (or longer) than the first movable portion are provided, the operation speeds (minimum speeds) of the first movable portion and the second movable portion are different. Is preferably controlled. By doing so, for example, the minimum in any of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control of the first movable unit that is smaller (or shorter) than the second movable unit and is not noticeable. By setting the speed lower than the minimum speed in any of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation check operation control of the second movable portion that is conspicuous because the speed is higher (or longer) than the first movable portion. The operation of each of the first movable section and the second movable section can be easily confirmed.

  As described above, in the case where the first movable section and the second movable section different from the first movable section are provided, the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation control of each of the first movable section and the second movable section are performed. It is preferable to perform control so that the operation speed (minimum speed) in the operation control for operation confirmation is different. In the case where the operation speeds (minimum speeds) of the first movable portion and the second movable portion are controlled to be different from each other, the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control of the first movable portion and the second movable portion are performed. The minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control may be different or the same.

  In the embodiment, as an example of the movable body, the frame-side effects 301B and 301C and the board-side effects 311B and 311C of the first effector 300 rotatable between the origin position and the effect position, and the origin. The embodiment in which the second effect device 400 capable of linearly moving between the position and the effect position and the third effect device 500 rotatable about the rotation axis has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the operation mode (for example, the moving direction and the rotating direction) and the number of the movable characters are not limited to those described above, and can be variously changed. Further, a movable body that operates in an operation mode other than the above may be applied.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the first effect device 300 and the second effect device 400 operable between the origin position and the effect position are applied as the origin detection target movable bodies, and the third effect device as the origin non-target object. Although the embodiment to which the 500 is applied has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and even in a movable role such as the third rendering device 500 that does not operate between the origin position and the rendering position, the movable body 501 is used. By setting the origin position at the rotational position of, the origin detection target movable body may be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the second initialization process, the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control is performed on one movable role as the first operation control. The present invention is not limited to this, and at least only the non-detection operation control may be executed. If only the non-detection operation control can be executed, the non-detection operation control need not be executed if the movable accessory is detected by the origin detection sensor in the second initialization process.

  In the above embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the effect control CPU 120 determines the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control. Although the form in which the movable role is controlled to operate at the same speed has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. In the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control, the actual operation as the second operation control is performed. What is necessary is just to control so that a movable accessory may operate at a speed less than or equal to the minimum speed in the operation confirmation operation control.For example, the movable accessory may operate at an operation speed lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. May be controlled.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control, which is the first operation control, the operation is always performed at a preset single operation speed (the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). In the illustrated embodiment, the role is controlled so that the movable role is controlled so that the movable role always operates at a constant speed.However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, control may be performed so as to gradually decelerate from the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control and operate at a speed lower than the minimum speed. That is, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control, which is the first operation control, if the speed is lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, the speed is made variable during a predetermined moving period. Is also good.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control which is the first operation control, the operation of the movable accessory is performed at the same operation speed (the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). Although the control mode has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the maximum speed in the non-detection operation control is controlled to be lower than the minimum speed in the detection operation control. In this case, for example, the movable accessory may be operated at different operation speeds in the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the movable accessory is not detected by the detection unit when a specific abnormality such as an error has occurred, that is, when the origin detection sensor is detected in step S109 in the second initialization process. If it is not in the state, the control for moving the first effect device 300 or the second effect device 400 toward the origin position at the lowest speed in the actual operation check operation control is repeated until the number of operation error determinations reaches “3”. Although the embodiment is described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this. The speed is lower than the minimum speed in the operation control at the time of detection, for example, a special speed which is set for an error and is a low speed at which a relatively large torque is obtained. The movable role may be controlled to operate at the speed.

  In the embodiment, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S124 in the second initialization process, that is, when the movable object to be operated is not located at the origin position (initial position). The processes in S122 to S127 are repeated until the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, the movable character is set based on the minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control based on the set process data. Although the mode of performing the operation control at the time of detection is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this. If the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state in step S124 in the second initialization process, Executes non-detection operation control to move the movable object in the direction of the origin based on the minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control from It may be so that.

  In the embodiment, the first effect device 300, the second effect device 400, and the third effect device 500 are provided as a plurality of movable bodies. In the second initialization process, the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control are performed. Although the first effect device 300, the second effect device 400, and the third effect device 500 are applied to the movable body to be subjected to the actual operation check operation control, the present invention is not limited thereto. However, in the second initialization process, the non-detection operation control, the operation control at the time of detection, and the movable object to be subjected to the operation control for actual operation confirmation are the first effect device 300, the second effect device 400, The present invention is not limited to the one in which one movable body such as the third effect device 500 is to be executed. For example, when one movable body has a plurality of movable parts that can operate, each of these movable parts is subjected to non-detection operation control. Operation control at detection, actual operation The execution target of confirmation operation control, sequential non-detection operation control each movable portion, the detection operation control, may be caused to operate the control check actual operation.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the operation control for confirming the actual operation in the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 accelerates and decelerates the movable accessory in each of the forward operation and the return operation, and performs a low speed → high speed → low speed → Although the form in which control is performed so as to be stopped is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the operation speed in the operation control at the time of producing a movable body and the operation control for actual operation confirmation is controlled to the above-described form. Not limited to this, for example, control may be performed such that low speed and high speed are repeated a plurality of times, for example, low speed → high speed → low speed → high speed → low speed → stop, and the operation speed changes in the order of low speed → medium speed → high speed May be controlled as follows.

  Further, control may be performed so that the manner of change of the operation speed and the minimum speed are different between the forward operation and the return operation. When the minimum speed is different between the forward operation and the return operation, the maximum speed in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control is set to the lower one of the forward operation and the return operation in the actual operation check operation control. What is necessary is just to set so that it may become below the minimum speed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation in the second initialization processing, the effect control CPU 120 exemplifies a form in which the control for changing the operation speed by accelerating and decelerating the movable body is described. The present invention is not limited to this, and may control the movable body to operate at a single operation speed. In the case of controlling the movable body to operate at a single operation speed in this manner, the single operation speed is the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. The maximum speed in the operation control may be set so as to be lower than the minimum speed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the non-detection operation control and the detection operation control as the first operation are performed in the second initialization process at the time of starting the pachinko gaming machine 1. The present invention is not limited to this. Timing other than the time of starting (for example, after execution of error processing including a character error and other various errors, at the start of symbol fluctuation, and after execution of a movable character effect) May be executed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control is performed in the order of the first effect device 300 → the second effect device 400 → the third effect device 500 as the order data of the movable character in the second initialization process. And the form in which the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed has been exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the order is arbitrary, and as described above, each operation is executed in an order other than the above. You may do so. Further, any one of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation check operation control for two or more movable characters out of the plurality may be executed together in parallel.

  In addition, an example has been described in which the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed after the operation control at the time of non-detection or the operation control at the time of detection is performed for all movable bodies. However, the present invention is not limited to this. After performing the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control of the movable body and the actual operation confirmation operation control, the other non-detection operation control or the detection operation control and the actual operation confirmation operation control are performed. You may do so.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the actual operation check process data is described as an example in which the same operation content as the operation in the actual effect is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, as these operation control for actual operation confirmation, as long as it includes all the operations of the operation speed in the actual effect, it is not necessary to be completely the same operation, for example, a plurality of effect operations in which a part of the operation is different In the case where there is, a process data for actual operation confirmation that describes an operation dedicated to confirmation incorporating all of a plurality of different effect operations may be used.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the number of operation error determinations in S113, S127, and S213 is set to “3” is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of operation error determinations is “3”. May be set as appropriate, and the number of operation error determinations in S113, S127, and S213 may be different.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mode in which the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation check operation control are executed in the second initialization processing is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, for example, the execution timing of the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control can be set arbitrarily, for example, after the end of the movable body effect, when the variation display of the symbol is started, or when the demonstration effect is performed. It may be executed when it is done.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 1 is illustrated as an example of the gaming machine. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a gaming ball having a predetermined number of balls is provided inside the gaming machine. The number of game balls used for the game is subtracted, while the number of balls used for the game is subtracted while the number of rented balls and the number of awarded balls awarded according to the winning are added. The present invention can also be applied 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 these points and points correspond to the game value.

  In the above-described embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine is applied as an example of the gaming machine. However, for example, a game can be started by setting a predetermined number of bets for one game using a gaming value. At the same time, the variation display result is derived on a variation display device capable of variably displaying a plurality of types of symbols each of which is identifiable, thereby completing one game and winning according to the variation display result derived on the variation display device. The present invention can also be applied to a slot machine in which is made possible.

  Specifically, when the present invention is applied to a slot machine including a housing and an opening / closing door that can open and close the front surface of the housing, for example, a first rendering unit is provided on a housing as a first member, A second effect part is provided on the opening / closing door as a member, and the first effect part and the second effect part are made visible from a viewing window provided on the opening / closing door, and at a predetermined effect timing, the second effect part is What is necessary is just to change from the said 1st state to the said 2nd state, and to form the composite production part which consists of several production parts containing the said 1st production part and the said 2nd production part.

  A cover is provided on the opening / closing door so that a see-through window that can see through a reel provided in the housing and a display area where an image can be displayed are visible, and a front side of the see-through window and the display area is made of a light-transmissive member. In the one covered by the panel, a first effect part is provided on a first member provided in a space covered by the cover panel, and a second effect part is pointed on a second member provided outside the space. Provided so as to be touchable, and at a predetermined production timing, the second production unit changes from the first state to the second state, and includes a plurality of production units including the first production unit and the second production unit. A composite effect part may be formed.
