<Explanation of Signals Related to Measurement Display Device>
Next, the signal wiring contents necessary for calculating the ratio of how many prize balls are played at the time of low accuracy displayed on the measurement display device 610 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. . As shown in FIG. 10, the data signal 612a1 relating to any of the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1, and the out opening switch 49a is transmitted to the connector CN8.

As shown in FIG. 10, a data signal 612a2 relating to the special symbol 1 starting port switch 44a is also input to the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612a via the connector CN4 (see also FIG. 7).

  Thus, the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612a to which the data signals 612a1 and 612a2 are input determines that the data signals 612a1 and 612a2 are normal unless the voltage level of the data signals 612a1 and 612a2 is higher than a predetermined voltage or lower than a predetermined voltage. Then, a data signal 612a3 related to the input data signals 612a1 and 612a2 is output. If any one of the data signals 612a1 and 612a2 has a voltage level higher than a predetermined voltage or lower than a predetermined voltage, it is abnormal. It is determined that there is, and an error signal 612a4 is output. Note that pull-up resistors R65, R63, R61, R59, R74, R75, and R76 (see also FIG. 7) are connected to the data signals 612a1 and 612a2, and the voltage input to the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612a.

However, of course, all signals may be input to the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612a. However, if all the signals are input to the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612a, it is difficult to immediately determine which switch is in error. Preferably, it is connected to the driver 612b.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10, a data signal 612b1 relating to any of the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, and the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1 is transmitted via the connector CN8. It is input to the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612b. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, a data signal 612b2 relating to the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a is also input to the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612b via the connector CN5 (see also FIG. 7).

Then, a data signal 612b3 related to the input data signals 612b1 and 612b2 is output. If any one of the data signals 612b1 and 612b2 has a voltage level higher than a predetermined voltage or lower than a predetermined voltage, it is abnormal. And outputs an error signal 612b4. The data signals 612b1 and 612b2 are connected to pull-up resistors R64, R62, R60, R58, R57, R56, R55, and R54 (see also FIG. 7), and input to the disconnection / short-circuit monitoring driver 612b. Capacitors C38 and C39 (see also FIG. 7) are provided between the wiring pattern of the applied voltage and the wiring pattern of the ground. A pull-up resistor RA5 (see also FIG. 7) is connected to the data signal 612b3 and the error signal 612b4 output from the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612b. Note that only one of the data signals 612b3 output from the disconnection / short circuit monitoring driver 612b is connected to the pull-up resistor RA6 (see also FIG. 7).

  Thus, by monitoring the disconnection by the separate disconnection / short-circuit monitoring drivers, it is possible to immediately determine which switch has an error. Although not shown, a general winning opening switch (upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, lower left general winning opening switch 48d1), a count switch, an out opening switch 49a, and the like. A separate disconnection / short-circuit monitoring driver may be provided according to the switches of the same system. In this way, it is possible to immediately determine which system switch has an error.

I have. By arranging in the vicinity of the one-chip microcomputer 600 which is larger in size than other components, the display content of the measurement display device 610 becomes more noticeable than the display content of the setting display device 620. Therefore, the display contents of the measurement display device 610 can be easily checked. In the present embodiment, an example in which the measurement display device 610 and the setting display device 620 are arranged on the main control substrate 60 has been described. However, in order to improve visibility, another substrate ( For example, the measurement display device 610 or the setting display device 620 may be arranged on a relay board or the like).

<Description of RAM clear switch, setting key switch, setting change switch>
By the way, as shown in FIG. 7, a RAM clear switch 630 is arranged on the main control board 60. When the RAM clear switch 630 is pressed, the entire memory area of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) is not cleared, and only a part of the memory area is cleared. That is, as shown in FIG. 16, the main control RAM 600c stores the normal RAM area 600ca used as a work area and the like, and the number of prize balls and the number of non-winnings measured by the main control board 60, that is, the main control CPU 600. And a measurement RAM area 600cb for storing the total number of game balls fired in the game area 40 including the game area. When the RAM clear switch 630 is pressed, the main control RAM 600c thus configured does not clear the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c, but clears only the normal RAM area 600ca. I have. In this way, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the total number of game balls fired in the game area 40 including the measured number of prize balls and the number of non-winners is cleared by mistake.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a setting key switch 640 and a setting change switch 650 are arranged on the main control board 60. When a dedicated key is inserted into the setting key switch 640 and turned on, the setting change switch 650 changes the setting content of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player to, for example, 6 of “1” to “6”. The setting can be changed in stages (for example, the setting “6” has the highest probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player, and the setting “1” has the special probability advantageous to the player). The probability of generating a gaming state is the lowest.) Then, the setting change content is displayed on the setting display device 620. When the setting change content is determined, the dot on the lower right side of the seven segments lights up, and it is displayed that the setting content has been determined. I have. In the following description, the setting change switch 650 has a function of changing the setting content of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player (setting changing function) and a function of confirming the setting changing content (setting change). The description will be made on the premise that the setting change switch 650 has both the completion function and the completion change function. Of course, the setting change switch 650 has only the function of changing the setting content of the probability of generating the special game state advantageous to the player, and the setting change May be determined by providing another switch.

<Description of the program>
Here, regarding the process of displaying the display contents on the measurement display device 610 and the setting display device 620 described above, an outline of a program stored in the main control ROM 600b (see FIG. 6) processed by the main control board 60. Will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

<Description of main processing>
First, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, a power-on signal indicating that the DC voltage generated by the voltage generator 1300 of the power supply board 130 (see FIG. 6) is applied to each control board is sent. In response to this signal, main control CPU 600a (see FIG. 6) performs main control main processing shown in FIG. The main control CPU 600a first sets itself to the interrupt disabled state (step S1).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs initial settings such as register values in the main control CPU 600a (step S2).

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 600a sets the activation waiting time of the sub-control board 80 (step S3), decrements (−1) the set waiting time (step S4), and clears a watchdog timer (WDT) (not shown). (Step S5).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the set waiting time has become “0” (step S6). If the waiting time has not become “0” (step S6: $ 0), the process returns to step S4. , "0" (step S6: = 0), the process proceeds to step S7.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a acquires the voltage abnormality signal ALARM (see FIG. 6) output from the power supply board 130 (voltage monitoring unit 1310) (see FIG. 6) twice, and acquires the voltage abnormality signal ALARM acquired twice. After confirming whether or not the levels match, the data is stored in an internal register (not shown) of the main control CPU 600a, and the level of the voltage abnormality signal ALARM is confirmed (step S7). If the level of voltage abnormality signal ALARM is "L" level (step S8: YES), the process returns to step S7, and if the level of voltage abnormality signal ALARM is "H" level (step S8: NO), Proceed to step S9. That is, the main control CPU 600a repeats the same processing until the voltage abnormality signal ALARM changes to the normal level (that is, the “H” level) (steps S7 to S8). Thus, by acquiring the voltage abnormality signal ALARM twice, an accurate signal can be read.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a clears a watchdog timer (WDT) (not shown) (step S9), and checks whether or not a signal (power-on signal) indicating that power has been supplied from the payout control board 70 has been received (step S9). Step S10). If the power-on signal has not been received (step S10: OFF), the process returns to step S9, and if the power-on signal has been received (step S10: ON), a predetermined period provided in the main control CPU 600a is set. A CTC (Counter Timer Circuit) having a function of creating a pulse output and a function of measuring time is set. That is, the main control CPU 600a sets the time constant register of the CTC so that a timer interrupt is periodically generated every 4 ms (step S11).

<Main Processing: Description of Setting Display Device>
Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the dedicated key has been inserted into the setting key switch 640 shown in FIG. 7 and has been turned on (step S12). If the setting key switch 640 is ON (step S12: YES), the main control CPU 600a checks whether the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open as shown in FIG. 2 (step S12). S13). If the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open (step S13: YES), the main control CPU 600a returns the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c shown in FIG. 16 in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6). Are all cleared (step S14).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets the setting change flag SH_FLG to ON (step S15), and permits data writing to the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) (step S16).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a transmits a processing command (effect control command DI_CMD) to cause the effect control board 90 to display that the setting is being changed on the liquid crystal display device 41 (step S17), and the main control RAM 600c (FIG. 6). (Refer to step S18), the setting value (for example, the setting value of “1” to “6”) of the probability of generating the special game state advantageous to the player stored in the reference game is acquired.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the acquired setting value indicates any one of “1” to “6” (step S19). If the value of the acquired setting value does not indicate any value of “1” to “6” (step S19: NO), “1” is set to the acquired setting value (step S20). On the other hand, if the value of the acquired setting value indicates any one of “1” to “6” (step S19: YES), the process proceeds to step S21.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs a process of displaying the set value on the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 6 to 7 and FIG. 13) (step S21). As a result, one of the values “1” to “6” is displayed on the setting display device 620.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a clears a watchdog timer (WDT) not shown (step S22).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the setting change completion function is turned on by the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) (step S23). If the setting change completion function is not turned on by the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) (step S23: NO), the main control CPU 600a turns on the setting change function by the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7). It is confirmed whether or not it has been performed (step S24). If the setting change function is not turned on by the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) (step S24: NO), the main control CPU 600a returns to the process of step S22, and operates the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7). If the setting change function is ON (step S24: YES), the main control CPU 600a increments (+1) the current setting value (step S25), and returns to the processing of step S19.

  On the other hand, if the setting change completion function is turned on by the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) (step S23: YES), the main control CPU 600a stores the current setting value in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) ( A process of storing the setting value in the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 6 to 7 and FIG. 13) by storing the setting value in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c shown in FIG. 16 (step S26). Is performed (step S27). As a result, the dots on the lower right side of the seven segments that constitute the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 7 and 13) light up, indicating that the setting contents have been determined.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a clears a watchdog timer (WDT) not shown (step S28).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the setting key switch 640 shown in FIG. 7 is turned off (step S29). If it is not turned off (step S29: NO), the processing of steps S28 to S29 is repeated until it is turned off, and if it is turned off (step S29: YES), the set value set on the effect control board 90 is shown. A set value command (effect control command DI_CMD) is transmitted (step S30), the setting change flag SH_FLG is set to OFF (step S31), and the process proceeds to step S40.

<Description of main processing>
On the other hand, the main control CPU 600a determines that the setting key switch 640 (see FIG. 7) is OFF (step S12: NO) and that the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are not open as shown in FIG. 2 (step S13). : NO), the main control CPU 600a permits data writing to the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) (step S32), and causes the effect control board 90 to display a standby screen on the liquid crystal display device 41 (effect). A control command DI_CMD) is transmitted (step S33).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks the contents of the backup flag BFL (step S34). The backup flag BFL is data indicating whether or not backup processing has been executed when a voltage drop due to a power failure or the like is detected in the voltage monitoring processing shown in FIG.

  If the backup flag BFL is in the OFF state (step S34: OFF), in the voltage monitoring process shown in FIG. 18 described later, when a voltage drop due to a power failure or the like is detected, the backup process is not executed. The main control CPU 600a transmits a processing command (effect control command DI_CMD) indicating a RAM error to the effect control board 90 (step S35), and performs an infinite loop process.

  On the other hand, if the backup flag BFL is in the ON state (step S34: ON), it is determined that the backup process is being executed when a voltage drop due to a power failure or the like is detected in the voltage monitoring process shown in FIG. Therefore, the main control CPU 600a performs a checksum calculation for calculating a checksum value. When the checksum value is calculated, the main control CPU 600a performs a process of comparing the calculation result with the stored value of the SUM address in the main control RAM 600c (step S36). The checksum operation is an 8-bit addition operation for the main control RAM 600c, and the stored operation result is stored in the power supply board 130 shown in FIG. 6 together with other data stored in the main control RAM 600c. And is maintained by the backup power supply generated at.

  If the stored value of the SUM address does not match the calculated checksum value (step S36: NO), the main control CPU 600a gives the effect control board 90 a processing command indicating an RAM error (effect control command DI_CMD). Is transmitted (step S35), and an infinite loop process is performed.

  On the other hand, if they match (step S36: YES), the main control CPU 600a checks the contents of the RAM clear switch 630 (see FIG. 7) (step S37). If the edge data of the RAM clear switch 630 is ON (step S37: ON), the main control CPU 600a determines that the RAM clear switch 630 has been pressed, and the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) Without clearing, only the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) is cleared (step S39), and the process proceeds to step S40.

  Thus, as described above, when the backup flag is OFF (step S34: OFF) or when the checksum values do not match (step S36: NO), the RAM clear switch 630 (see FIG. 7) is turned ON. However, the normal RAM area 600ca (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is not cleared. This is because there is a possibility that the setting value displayed on the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 6 to 7 and FIG. 13) is abnormal when there is an abnormality in the backup processing or when the checksum value is abnormal. Because it is expensive. Therefore, as shown in the present embodiment, after the processing in step S35, the infinite loop processing is executed, the power is turned on again, and the setting value change processing is performed, so that the game cannot be restarted. By doing so, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player and the playground (hall) side are disadvantageous.

  On the other hand, if the edge data of the RAM clear switch 630 is OFF (step S37: OFF), the main control CPU 600a determines that the RAM clear switch 630 has not been pressed, and changes the data stored in the main control RAM 600c. Based on this, a process of returning to the game operation at the time of power-off is performed (step S38).

  Thus, after finishing the processing in step S38 or step S39, the main control CPU 600a permits data writing to the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) (step S40) and clears a watchdog timer (WDT) (not shown). (Step S41).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets the firing control signal to ON and transmits the signal to the payout control board 70 (step S42). Thus, the payout control board 70 controls the operation of the firing control board 71 to start.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a updates various random number counters in a state where the interrupt to itself is set to the prohibited state (step S43) (step S44), and returns to the interrupt permitted state (step S45). Then, the process returns to step S43, and a loop process for repeatedly performing the processes of steps S43 to S45 is performed.

  Thus, when the RAM clear switch 630 (see FIG. 7) is pressed, the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is not cleared, and the normal RAM area of the main control RAM 600c is not cleared. By clearing only 600ca (see FIG. 16), it is possible to prevent a situation in which the total number of game balls fired in the game area 40 including the measured number of prize balls and the number of non-winners is erroneously cleared. .

<Explanation of timer interrupt processing>
Next, with reference to FIG. 18, a description will be given of a timer interrupt program that is started every 4 ms by interrupting the main processing described above. When this timer interrupt occurs, a save process is executed to save the contents of the register group in the main control CPU 600a to the stack area of the main control RAM 600c (step S50), and then a voltage monitoring process is executed (step S51). This voltage monitoring process determines the level of the voltage abnormality signal ALARM output from the power supply board 130 (see FIG. 6), and if the voltage abnormality signal ALARM is at the “L” level (abnormal level), the main control RAM 600c The backup process of the stored data, that is, the process of calculating the checksum value of the data and storing the calculated checksum value as backup data in the main control RAM 600c is performed.

  Next, when the voltage monitoring process (step S51) ends, the main control CPU 600a performs a timer subtraction process of various timers (such as a normal symbol change timer and a normal symbol accessory timer) that manage the time of each game operation. (Step S52).

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 600a includes a special symbol 1 starting port switch 44a (see FIG. 6), a special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a (see FIG. 6), a normal symbol starting port switch 47a (see FIG. 6), An upper right general winning opening switch 48a1 (see FIG. 6), an upper left general winning opening switch 48b1 (see FIG. 6), a middle left general winning opening switch 48c1 (see FIG. 6), and a lower left general winning opening switch 48d1 (see FIG. 6); ON / OFF signals of various switches including an out-mouth switch 49a (see FIG. 6) and a winning port switch 46c (see FIG. 6) are input, and an ON / OFF signal level and the like are input to a work area in the main control RAM 600c. The rising state is stored (step S53). The details of this process will be described later.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs a random number management process (step S54). Specifically, it performs a process of updating random numbers of a normal symbol, a special symbol, and the like used in the winning / rejecting lottery.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs an error management process (step S55). In the error management process, the supply of the game ball is stopped, or the game ball is clogged, the special symbol 1 starting port switch 44a (see FIG. 6), the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a (see FIG. 6), Ordinary symbol start-up switch 47a (see FIG. 6), upper right general winning opening switch 48a1 (see FIG. 6), upper left general winning opening switch 48b1 (see FIG. 6), middle left general winning opening switch 48c1 (see FIG. 6), lower left This is for determining whether or not any abnormality has occurred inside the device such as disconnection of the general winning opening switch 48d1 (see FIG. 6), the out opening switch 49a (see FIG. 6), and the special winning opening switch 46c (see FIG. 6). is there.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a determines whether or not the set value of the probability of generating the special game state advantageous to the player stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) is within the range of “1” to “6”. Is checked (step S56). If the RAM error flag ER_FLG is set to ON (step S56: YES), the main control CPU 600a generates a special game state advantageous to the player stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6). Is determined to be out of the range of “1” to “6”, the processing related to the symbol is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S69. On the other hand, if the RAM error flag ER_FLG is set to OFF (step S56: NO), the main control CPU 600a generates a special game state advantageous to the player stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6). It is determined that the set value of the probability to be performed is within the range of “1” to “6”, and the process proceeds to step S47.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks the setting change flag SH_FLG (step S57). If the setting change flag SH_FLG is set to ON (step S57: YES), the main control CPU 600a determines that the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is being changed, and The process proceeds to S67. On the other hand, if the setting change flag SH_FLG is set to OFF (step S57: NO), the main control CPU 600a determines that the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is not being changed, Proceed to step S58.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks the setting check flag SK_FLG (step S58). If the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG is set to ON (step S58: YES), the main control CPU 600a determines that the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is being confirmed, and determines in step S64. Proceed to processing. On the other hand, if the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG is set to OFF (step S58: NO), the main control CPU 600a determines that the set value of the probability of generating the special game state advantageous to the player is not being confirmed, and The process proceeds to S59.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes award ball management processing (step S59). In the prize ball management processing, a payout control command PAY_CMD for causing the payout control board 70 (see FIG. 6) to perform a payout operation is output. The details of this process will be described later.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes a normal symbol processing (step S60). In the ordinary symbol processing, a winning / non-winning lottery of the ordinary symbol is executed, and a variation pattern of the ordinary symbol and a stop display state of the ordinary symbol are determined based on the lottery result.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes a normal electric accessory management process (step S61). In the ordinary electric accessory management process, a signal related to control of the ordinary electric auditors solenoid 45c (see FIG. 6) necessary for the occurrence of the ordinary electric auditorium opening game is generated based on the lottery result of the ordinary symbol processing (step S60). Things.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes a special symbol process (step S62). In the special symbol processing, a special symbol win / fail lottery is executed, and a variation pattern of the special symbol and a stop display mode of the special symbol are determined based on the result of the random determination. At this time, the main control CPU 600a determines the special symbol based on the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player, which is stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6). Is a lottery. Therefore, the main control CPU 600a determines whether the set value of the probability of generating the special game state advantageous to the player stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) is in the range of “1” to “6”. It is checked whether or not it is out of the range.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes a special electric accessory management process (step S63). In this special electric accessory management processing, when the jackpot lottery result is "big hit" or "small hit", setting processing necessary for executing and controlling a hit game corresponding to the hit is mainly performed. is there. At this time, a signal related to control of the special electric auditors product solenoid 46b (see FIG. 6) is also generated.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs processing for confirming the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) (step S64). The details of this process will be described later.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes a prize ball winning management process (step S65). In this prize ball winning management processing, the total number of game balls fired in the game area 40 including the number of prize balls and the number of non-winning is measured, and the measured number of spheres or the number of game balls including the non-winning number is stored in the game area 40. A process for displaying the content based on the total number of game balls fired on the measurement display device 610 is performed. The details of this process will be described later.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs a solenoid driving process (step S66). At this time, the main control CPU 600a checks the signal related to the control of the ordinary electric auditors product solenoid 45c (see FIG. 6) generated in the ordinary electric auditors product management process (step S61), and also executes the special electric auditors management process (step S61). The signal related to the control of the special electric accessory solenoid 46b (see FIG. 6) generated in step S63) is confirmed. Based on this signal, the operation / stop of the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 45c or the special electric accessory solenoid 46b is controlled, and the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) is opened or closed, or a special winning opening (not shown). The opening / closing door 46a (see FIG. 5) is operated so that is opened or closed.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes an LED management process (step S67). This LED management process generates output data to the special symbol display device 50 (see FIG. 5) or the normal symbol display device 51 (see FIG. 5) according to the progress of the process, or generates a control signal based on the data. Or, if the setting change flag SH_FLG and the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG are set to ON, generate output data to the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 6 to 7 and FIG. 13). And outputting a control signal based on the data. By this processing, the lottery result is displayed on the special symbol display device 50 and the ordinary symbol display device 51, and the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is displayed on the setting display device 620.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a executes an external terminal management process (step S68). In this external terminal management process, a hall computer (not shown) used for management of a game island in a game arcade is provided with information such as the number of hits, the number of occurrences of the hits, the number of times the special symbol changes, the winning ball detection information to the winning opening, etc. , Predetermined game information is output. When the setting change flag SH_FLG and the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG are set to ON, a security signal is output.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a returns to the interrupt enabled state (step S69), restores the contents of the registers saved in the stack area of the main control RAM 600c, and ends the timer interrupt (step S70). As a result, the processing returns from the interrupt processing routine to the main processing (see FIG. 17).

<Description of switch input processing>
Next, the switch input processing will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the switch input process, as shown in FIG. 19, first, input data of each input port is obtained. That is, the main control CPU 600a includes an upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, an upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, a middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, a lower left general winning opening switch 48d1, a large winning opening switch 46c, an out opening switch 49a, and a special symbol 1 Data of ON / OFF signals of various switches including the starting port switch 44a, the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a, and the normal symbol starting port switch 47a are obtained from the input port, and the obtained ON / OFF signals of the various switches are obtained. Edge data of various switches is created based on the data. Then, the main control CPU 600a stores the created edge data of the various switches in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S80).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not there is an illegal prize, that is, for example, whether or not a special winning opening (not shown) is open despite the gaming state in which the opening and closing door 46a must be closed. If it is released, it is determined that the winning is illegal, and among the edge data of various switches stored in the main control RAM 600c area, the data determined to be the illegal winning is invalidated. The processing is performed (step S81).

<Explanation of winning invalidation processing>
In this regard, referring to FIG. 20 in more detail, as shown in FIG. 20, first, the main control CPU 600a checks the value of the general-use open extension state flag FKE_FLG (step S90). If the value of the general power release extension state flag FKE_FLG is 05 AH (step S90: = 05 AH), the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) extends the special symbol 2 starting port 45 (see FIG. 5) to open. The main control CPU 600a determines that it is in the state, and proceeds to the process of step S97.

  On the other hand, if the value of the general power release extension state flag FKE_FLG is not 05AH (step S90: $ 05AH), the value of the general power operating flag FS_FLG is confirmed (step S91). If the value of the normal power operation flag FS_FLG is 05 AH (step S91: = 05 AH), it is determined that the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) is operating (the special symbol 2 starting port 45 is opened and closed). Then, the main control CPU 600a proceeds to the process of step S97.

  On the other hand, if the value of the normal power operation flag FS_FLG is not 05AH (step S91: $ 05AH), it is determined that the operation of the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) has been completed, and the normal power winning effective timer is determined. The value of FDN_TIMER is confirmed (step S92). If the value of the general winning award valid timer FDN_TIMER is not 0 (step S92: $ 0), the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) is in a state of closing the special symbol 2 starting port 45 (see FIG. 5). The main control CPU 600a proceeds to the process of step S97.

  On the other hand, if the value of the general winning award valid timer FDN_TIMER is 0 (step S92: = 0), the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) closes the special symbol 2 starting port 45 (see FIG. 5). Then, in step S80 shown in FIG. 19, the edge data of the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) is obtained (step S93). Then, the edge data is confirmed (step S94). If the edge data is OFF (step S94: NO), the main control CPU 600a determines that there is no winning in the special symbol 2 starting port 45 and no illegal operation is performed, and the main control CPU 600a Proceed to step S97.

  On the other hand, if the edge data is ON (step S94: YES), the special symbol 2 start is started even though the special symbol 2 start port 45 (see FIG. 5) is closed by the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5). Since the mouth 45 (see FIG. 5) has been won, the main control CPU 600a determines that the illegal operation has been performed, and the main control CPU 600a clears the edge data of the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a and turns off the special pattern 2 starting port switch 45a. Then, it is stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S95).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a performs a process of setting 30s to the fraudulent information timer FJ_TIMER (step S96). Note that during the period in which the fraudulent information timer FJ_TIMER is not 0, error processing such as issuing an alarm sound from the speaker 17 (see FIG. 1) is performed in the error management processing (step S55 shown in FIG. 18).

  Next, after finishing the above processing, the main control CPU 600a acquires the edge data of the special winning opening switch 46c stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S97). Then, the edge data is confirmed (step S98), and if the edge data is OFF (step S98: NO), it is determined that there is no winning in the special winning opening (not shown) and that no illegal operation is performed. , Finish the winning invalidation process.

  On the other hand, if the edge data is ON (step S98: YES), the value of the special electric accessory actuation flag TDY_FLG is checked (step S99). If the value of the special electric accessory actuation flag TDY_FLG is 05 AH (step S99: = 05 AH), the special winning opening (not shown) is opened by the opening / closing door 46a (see FIG. 5), and is illegal. Is determined not to have been performed, and the winning invalidation processing ends.

  On the other hand, if the value of the special electric accessory actuation flag TDY_FLG is not 05AH (step S99: $ 05AH), the special winning opening (not shown) is closed by the opening / closing door 46a (see FIG. 5). Nevertheless, since there is a prize, the main control CPU 600a determines that the fraud has been performed, clears the edge data of the special prize port switch 46c and turns it off, and executes the processing for the normal RAM area of the main control RAM 600c. 600 ca (see FIG. 16) (step S100).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets 30s to the fraudulent information timer FJ_TIMER (step S101), and ends the winning invalidation processing.

<Description of switch input processing>
Thus, after finishing the above processing, the main control CPU 600a acquires the edge data of various switches stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S82). . If all of these edge data are in the OFF state (step S82: NO), the switch input processing ends.

  On the other hand, if any one of the edge data is in the ON state (step S82: YES), the main control CPU 600a performs a process of adding a winning counter corresponding to the number of winning balls (step S83).

  Specifically, when a game ball is won (the edge data is ON) in the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, a process of incrementing (+1) the first winning counter N1_CNT is performed. When the game ball wins (either the edge data is ON) one of the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, and the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1, the second winning counter N2_CNT is counted by the number of winnings. A process of incrementing (+1) is performed. Further, when the game ball wins the special winning opening switch 46c (the edge data is ON), a process of incrementing (+1) the third winning counter N3_CNT is performed. When the game ball wins (edge data is ON) in one of the special symbol 1 starting port switch 44a and the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a, the fourth winning counter N4_CNT is incremented (+1) by the number of winning. Perform processing.

  Thus, after performing the above processing, the main control CPU 600a ends the switch input processing.

<Description of award ball management processing>
Next, the award ball management process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the winning ball management process, as shown in FIG. 21, first, the total number of winning counters is set in a loop counter LOOP_CNT (step S110). That is, in the present embodiment, there are four winning counters: a first winning counter N1_CNT, a second winning counter N2_CNT, a third winning counter N3_CNT, and a fourth winning counter N4_CNT (see the description of step S83 shown in FIG. 19). Therefore, 4 is set to the loop counter LOOP_CNT.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets 1 to the number of the winning counter. More specifically, in the present embodiment, there are four winning counters of a first winning counter N1_CNT, a second winning counter N2_CNT, a third winning counter N3_CNT, and a fourth winning counter N4_CNT. Will be assigned a number. That is, numbers are assigned such that the number of the first prize counter N1_CNT is 1, the number of the second prize counter N2_CNT is 2, the number of the third prize counter N3_CNT is 3, and the number of the fourth prize counter N4_CNT is 4, and so on. , The numerical value indicating the assigned number is N, and 1 is set to the numerical value N (step S111).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks the number set to the numerical value N, and checks the value of the winning counter corresponding to the number (step S112). That is, when 1 is set to the numerical value N, it is checked whether the value of the first winning counter N1_CNT is 0, and when 2 is set to the numerical value N, the value of the second winning counter N2_CNT is It is checked whether it is 0 or not. If the value N is set to 3, it is checked whether the value of the third winning counter N3_CNT is 0. If the value N is set to 4, the fourth is set. It is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter N4_CNT is 0.

  If the value of the winning counter is 0 (step S112: = 0), the main control CPU 600a performs a process of incrementing (+1) the numerical value N (step S113), and subtracts the value of the loop counter LOOP_CNT (−1). ) Is performed (step S114). If the value of the loop counter LOOP_CNT becomes 0 (step S115: = 0) as a result of the processing, the award ball management processing is completed. If not (step S115: $ 0), the processing returns to step S112 and returns to step S112. Step S115 is repeated.

  On the other hand, when the value of the winning counter is not 0 (step S112: $ 0), if the value N is set to 1, the main control CPU 600a subtracts (-1) the value of the first winning counter N1_CNT. When the value N is set to 2, the process of subtracting (-1) the value of the second winning counter N2_CNT is performed. When the value N is set to 3, the value of the third winning counter N3_CNT is set. Is subtracted (-1), and when 4 is set to the numerical value N, a process of subtracting (-1) the value of the fourth winning counter N4_CNT is performed (step S116).

  Then, after this processing, the main control CPU 600a transmits a payout control command PAY_CMD specifying the number of payouts to the payout control board 70 (see FIG. 6). Specifically, when the value of the first winning counter N1_CNT is subtracted in the process of step S96, the value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, the number of game balls (for example, five) corresponding to 1 is paid. The payout control command PAY_CMD designated to be issued is transmitted to the payout control board 70 (see FIG. 6). When the value of the second winning counter N2_CNT is subtracted, the payout control command PAY_CMD that designates to pay out the value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, 10 game balls corresponding to 1 (for example, 10) is provided. It is transmitted to the substrate 70 (see FIG. 6). Further, when the value of the third winning counter N3_CNT is subtracted, a value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, a payout control command PAY_CMD that specifies to pay out 15 (for example, 15) game balls corresponding to 1 is paid out. This is transmitted to the control board 70 (see FIG. 6). Further, when the value of the fourth winning counter N4_CNT is subtracted, a payout control command PAY_CMD which designates to pay out a value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, three game balls (for example, three) corresponding to 1 is paid out. The data is transmitted to the control board 70 (see FIG. 6) (step S117). Accordingly, the payout control board 70 controls the payout motor M based on the payout control command PAY_CMD to pay out the game balls.

  Thus, the main control CPU 600a ends the prize ball management processing after finishing the above processing.

<Description of setting confirmation processing>
Next, the setting confirmation processing will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the setting confirmation processing, as shown in FIG. 22, the main control CPU 600a first sets the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG to ON to indicate whether or not the setting value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is being confirmed. It is confirmed whether or not it has been performed (step S120). If the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG is set to ON (step S120: YES), it is determined that the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is being confirmed, and the process proceeds to step S122. If the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG is set to OFF (step S120: NO), it is determined that the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is not being confirmed, and the process proceeds to step S121.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not a condition that may confirm the set value of the probability of generating a special game state advantageous to the player is satisfied (step S121). That is, the conditions under which the setting value may be confirmed include an error other than that the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) is not pressed or that the upper opening door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are opened. It is not occurring, or the fluctuation of the special symbol is stopped (the state where there is no start-retaining ball, the state where the standby screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 41), or the fluctuation of the ordinary pattern is stopped (the state where the start-retaining ball is not present) (Condition).

  Thus, if any of the above-described conditions is not satisfied (step S121: NO), the main control CPU 600a ends the setting confirmation process, while any of the above-described conditions is not satisfied. If it is established (step S121: YES), it is checked whether the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open as shown in FIG. 2 (step S122).

  If the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open (step S122: YES), the main control CPU 600a checks whether a dedicated key is inserted into the setting key switch 640 shown in FIG. (Step S123). If the setting key switch 640 is ON (step S123: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG to ON (step S124), and produces a processing command (production control command DI_CMD) indicating this. The data is transmitted to the control board 90 (step S125). Then, the main control CPU 600a sets the firing control signal to OFF, transmits it to the payout control board 70 (step S126), and ends the setting confirmation processing. Thereby, the payout control board 70 controls the operation of the firing control board 71 to stop.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 600a determines whether the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are not opened (step S122: NO) or if the setting key switch 640 shown in FIG. 7 is turned off (step S123: NO). ), The setting confirmation flag SK_FLG is set to OFF (step S127), and a processing command (effect control command DI_CMD) indicating this is transmitted to the effect control board 90 (step S128). Then, the main control CPU 600a sets the firing control signal to ON, transmits it to the payout control board 70 (step S129), and ends the setting confirmation processing. Thus, the payout control board 70 controls the operation of the firing control board 71 to start.

<Explanation of prize ball winning number management processing>
Next, the prize ball winning number management processing will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 23, the prize ball winning number management process first executes a save process for saving the contents of the register group in the main control CPU 600a to the stack area of the main control RAM 600c (step S150).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a initializes the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c (step S151).

<Description of Initial Setting of Measurement RAM Area>
This point will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 24. In this initialization, as shown in FIG. 24, first, the value of the initialized flag INI_FLG is obtained (step S160). Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the obtained value of the initialized flag INI_FLG is 5AH (step S161). If it is not 5AH (step S161: NO), 5AH is set to the initialization completed flag INI_FLG (step S162), and the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) is initialized (cleared) (step S163). The RAM area initial setting process ends. On the other hand, if it is 5AH (step S161: YES), it is determined that the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) has already been initialized, and the measurement RAM area initialization processing ends.

<Explanation of prize ball winning number management processing>
Thus, as shown in FIG. 23, the main control CPU 600a performs an initialization of the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S151), and then executes a count process (step S152).

<Description of count processing>
This point will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 25. As shown in FIG. 25, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the game state is a low-probability (hit lottery probability is a normal low-probability state) (step). S170). If the gaming state is not the low-probability state (step S170: NO), the process proceeds to step S180.

  On the other hand, if the game state is the low-probability state (step S170: YES), the main control CPU 600a stores the game state in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) in step S80 shown in FIG. The edge data of the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1, and the special symbol 1 starting opening switch 44a are acquired (step S171). Then, these edge data are confirmed (step S172). If none of the edge data is OFF (step S172: NO), the process proceeds to step S174, and if any one of the edge data is ON ( Step S172: YES), the value of the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT is added (step S173). Specifically, if the edge data of the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1 is in the ON state, five prize balls are won, and the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT is added by +5. If the edge data of the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the middle left general winning opening switch 48c1, and the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1 are in the ON state, 10 prize balls are awarded for one edge data in the ON state. Therefore, +10 (× the number of edge data in the ON state) is added to the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT. Further, if the edge data of the special symbol 1 starting port switch 44a is in the ON state, three prize balls are won. Therefore, +3 (× the number of edge data in the ON state) is added to the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT. The accumulated prize ball counter RS_CNT is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c.

  Next, in step S80 shown in FIG. 19, the main control CPU 600a acquires the edge data of the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) ( Step S174). If the edge data is OFF (step S175: NO), the process proceeds to step S177, and if the edge data is ON (step S175: YES), the value of the first character accumulation prize ball counter YRS1_CNT Is added (step S176). Specifically, if the edge data of the special symbol 2 starting port switch 45a is in the ON state, three prize balls are won, and therefore, the first character accumulation prize ball counter YRS1_CNT is added by +3. The first bonus prize ball counter YRS1_CNT is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c.

  Next, in Step S80 shown in FIG. 19, the main control CPU 600a acquires the edge data of the special winning opening switch 46c stored in the normal RAM area 600ca (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c (Step S177). ). If the edge data is OFF (step S178: NO), the process proceeds to step S180, and if the edge data is ON (step S178: YES), the value of the second bonus prize ball counter YRS2_CNT Is added (step S179). Specifically, if the edge data of the special winning opening switch 46c is in the ON state, fifteen prize balls are won, and therefore, +15 is added to the second character accumulation prize ball counter YRS2_CNT. The second bonus prize ball counter YRS2_CNT is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c.

  Next, in step S65 shown in FIG. 20, the main control CPU 600a acquires the edge data of the out-mouth switch 49a stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S180). If the edge data is in the OFF state (step S181: NO), the counting process is completed, and if the edge data is in the ON state (step S181: YES), the cumulative out counter RO_CNT is incremented (+1) (step S181). S182). The cumulative out counter RO_CNT is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the game state is a low-probability state (the winning lottery probability is a normal low-probability state) (step S183). If the gaming state is not the low-probability state (step S183: NO), the counting process is finished, and if the gaming state is the low-probability state (step S183: YES), the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT is incremented (+1) ( Step S184), the counting process ends. The low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c.

<Explanation of prize ball winning number management processing>
Thus, after finishing the above processing, the main control CPU 600a executes a display processing as shown in FIG. 23 (step S153), and stores the contents of the registers saved in the stack area of the main control RAM 600c. The game is returned (step S154), and the prize ball winning number management process ends.

<Description of display processing>
This point will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 26. The main control CPU 600a first checks whether or not the initialization flag SS_FLG is set to ON (step S200). If the initialized flag SS_FLG is not set to ON (step S200: NO), the cumulative out counter RO_CNT stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is acquired, and a predetermined number ( It is checked whether the number has reached (for example, 300) (step S201). If the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has not reached the predetermined number (for example, 300) (step S201: NO), the main control CPU 600a transmits the real-time measurement display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). It is created and stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c (step S202). Further, the main control CPU 600a creates previous measurement result display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9), and stores the data in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c. (Step S203).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a increments (+1) the display counter HY_CNT (step S204).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the display counter HY_CNT has reached a value (first predetermined value) corresponding to 5 seconds (step S205). If the display counter HY_CNT has not reached the first predetermined value (step S205: NO), and outputs the real-time measurement display data created in step S202 to the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) (step S206). As a result, the identification information “bL” blinks in seven segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the ratio information “−−” is lit on seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The blinking display is a 0.6 second cycle of 0.3 seconds on and 0.3 seconds off.

  On the other hand, if the value has reached the first predetermined value (step S205: YES), the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the display counter HY_CNT has reached a value corresponding to 10 seconds (the second predetermined value) (step S205). If the second predetermined value has not been reached (step S207: NO), the previous measurement result display data created in step S203 is output to the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) (step S207). S208). As a result, the identification information “b6” blinks in the seven segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the ratio information “−−” is lit on seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The blinking display is a 0.6 second cycle of 0.3 seconds on and 0.3 seconds off.

  On the other hand, if the value has reached the second predetermined value (step S207: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets 0 to the display counter HY_CNT (step S209).

  Thus, in this manner, the display contents of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) are changed every 5 seconds by the real-time measurement display data (the fourth measurement display device 610D, the third measurement display device 610C ( The identification information “bL” blinks in the seven segments of FIG. 9), and the ratio information “−” is displayed in the seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). “-” Is lit), the identification information “b6” blinks in the seven segments of the previous measurement result display data (the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9), In the seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9), the ratio information is switched to “−−”.

  After the processing in steps S206, S208, and S209, the main control CPU 600a ends the display processing.

  On the other hand, when the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has reached a predetermined number (for example, 300) (step S201: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets ON to the initial setting completed flag SS_FLG (step S210), and proceeds to step S211. Proceed to processing. If the initial setting completed flag SS_FLG has been set to ON (step S200: YES), the main control CPU 600a proceeds to the process of step S211.

  Next, the main control CPU 600a acquires the low-accuracy cumulative out counter TRO_CNT stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c, and determines whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 6000) has been reached. Is confirmed (step S211). If the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT has not reached a predetermined number (for example, 6000) (step S211: NO), the main control CPU 600a is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16). The value of the accumulated prize ball counter RS_CNT, the first role cumulative prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, the second role cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT, and the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT are acquired, and the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT and the first role are obtained. By adding the value of the cumulative prize ball counter YRS1_CNT and the value of the second accessory cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT and dividing the added value by the value of the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT, the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT is used as a reference. Calculate the ratio of how many prize balls were played in low accuracy The Rukoto. Then, the main control CPU 600a creates real-time measurement blinking display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) based on the calculated ratio, and the measurement RAM area 600cb (FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c. (See step S212). As a result, the identification information “bL” blinks in seven segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the calculated ratio information is lit and displayed in seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The blinking display is a 0.6 second cycle of 0.3 seconds on and 0.3 seconds off.

  On the other hand, if the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT has reached a predetermined number (for example, 6000) (step S211: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) stored in the prize ball counter RS_CNT, the first bonus prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, the second bonus prize ball counter YRS2_CNT, and the low-accuracy cumulative out counter TRO_CNT. By adding the values of RS_CNT, the first bonus accumulation prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, and the second bonus accumulation prize ball counter YRS2_CNT, and dividing the added value by the value of the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT, the low accuracy is obtained. How many prizes are given at low accuracy based on the cumulative out counter TRO_CNT The ratio of whether or not the ball has been hit is calculated. Then, the main control CPU 600a creates real-time measurement display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) based on the calculated ratio, and the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16). ) (Step S213). Thus, the identification information “bL” is lit on the 7 segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the calculated ratio information is lit and displayed in the seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a acquires the cumulative out counter RO_CNT stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c, and checks whether or not a predetermined number (for example, 60000) has been reached. (Step S214). If the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has not reached the predetermined number (for example, 60000) (step S214: NO), the main control CPU 600a checks the measurement number flag KK_FLG indicating the measurement number (step S215). If the number-of-measurements flag KK_FLG is 1 or more (step S215: YES), the measurement data stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is acquired, and the previous measurement result display data (accumulated) When the number of out counters RO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 60000), a ratio of how many prize balls are played in low accuracy based on the low-accuracy cumulative out counter TRO_CNT is created and used for measurement in the main control RAM 600c. It is stored in the RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) (step S216). Thus, the identification information “b6” is lit on the seven segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, in the seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9), the ratio information as the previous measurement result is lit and displayed.

  On the other hand, if the measurement count flag KK_FLG is not 1 or more (step S215: NO), the main control CPU 600a creates blinking display data of the previous measurement result to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9), It is stored in the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) (step S217). As a result, the identification information “b6” blinks in the seven segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the ratio information “−−” is lit on seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The blinking display is a 0.6 second cycle of 0.3 seconds on and 0.3 seconds off.

  On the other hand, if the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has reached a predetermined number (for example, 60000) (step S214: YES), the main control CPU 600a increments (+1) the measurement number flag KK_FLG (step S218), and The values of the RO_CNT, the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT, the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT, the first bonus prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, and the second bonus prize ball counter YRS2_CNT are cleared (step S219).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a increments (+1) the display counter HY_CNT after completing any one of the steps S216, S217, and S219 (step S220).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a checks whether or not the display counter HY_CNT has reached a value (first predetermined value) corresponding to 5 seconds (step S221). If the display counter HY_CNT has not reached the first predetermined value (step S221: NO), and outputs the real-time measurement display data created in step S212 or step S213 to the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) (step S206). Thereby, the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) until the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 6000). The identification information “bL” blinks in seven segments of 610C (see FIG. 9), and the calculated information is calculated in seven segments of the second measurement and display device 610B and the first measurement and display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The ratio information is lit and displayed. When the low-probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 6000), the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) ( The identification information “bL” is lit and displayed in the seven segments of FIG. 9), and the calculated ratio information is displayed in the seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). Is lit.

  On the other hand, if the value has reached the first predetermined value (step S221: YES), main control CPU 600a checks whether or not display counter HY_CNT has reached a value corresponding to 10 seconds (second predetermined value) (step S221). S223), if the second predetermined value has not been reached (step S223: NO), the previous measurement result display data created in step S216 or step S217 is displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). (Step S224). As a result, the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) until the first cumulative out total number reaches 60,000. The identification information “b6” is blinkingly displayed in the seven segments, and the ratio information “−−” is lit in the seven segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). Will be displayed. Then, when the first cumulative out total number reaches 60000, thereafter, the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) (FIG. 9). 7), the identification information “b6” is illuminated and displayed, and the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9) show the previous measurement results. The ratio information is lit and displayed. The blinking display is a 0.6 second cycle of 0.3 seconds on and 0.3 seconds off.

  On the other hand, if it has reached the second predetermined value (step S223: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets 0 to the display counter HY_CNT (step S225).

  In this way, the display content of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) can be switched to the real-time measurement display data and the previous measurement result display data every 5 seconds. Note that the main control CPU 600a ends the display processing after finishing the processing of the above-described steps S222, S224, and S225.

<Description of common setting and 7-segment output processing>
Here, processing for causing the measurement display device 610 to perform a predetermined display (steps S202, S203, S206, S208, S213, S212, S216, S217, S222, and S224 shown in FIG. 26) ) Will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

  When causing the measurement display device 610 to perform a predetermined display, the main control CPU 600a first updates the common counter COM_CNT as shown in FIG. 27 (step S300).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets the common counter COM_CNT as an offset, and sets the first special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2a and the second special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2b shown in FIG. Any one of the third special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2c and the fourth special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2d is selected, and for example, "0" to "9" An output LED data table (not shown) storing the display pattern is selected (step S301).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a transmits the first special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2a, the second special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2b, and the third special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting. Any one of the common data signal 611a2c and the fourth special symbol display device LED dynamic lighting common data signal 611a2d is output from the LED driver 611a (see FIG. 9) (step S302).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets the output LED data table (not shown) in which the display patterns of “0” to “9” are stored and the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) as an offset. Then, the output LED bit data related to the special symbol display device 50 stored in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16) is selected (step S303).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a outputs the selected output LED bit data to the LED driver 611b (see FIG. 9). Accordingly, the LED dynamic lighting data signal 611b2 for the special symbol display device is output from the LED driver 611b (see FIG. 9), and the lottery result is displayed on the special symbol display device 50.

<Description of measurement display device setting process>
Next, a process for setting display contents of the measurement display device 610 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the main control CPU 600a checks whether to turn off the third measurement and display device 610C (see FIG. 9) and the fourth measurement and display device 610D (see FIG. 9). That is, when the blinking display of step S202, step S203, step S212, and step S217 shown in FIG. 26 is performed, the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) are turned off. Is checked (step S350). When turning off the light (step S350: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets bit data for turning off the light (step S351), and proceeds to the process of step S355.

  On the other hand, when the light is not turned off (step S350: NO), the main control CPU 600a executes the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device based on steps S206, S208, S222, and S224 shown in FIG. It is confirmed whether or not what is set to 610C (see FIG. 9) is “bL” (step S352). If it is "bL" (step S352: YES), the bit data of "bL" is set (step S353). If it is not "bL" (step S352: NO), the bit data of "b6" is set (step S352: NO). Step S354) and proceed to step S355.

  Thus, after completing the processing of steps S351, S353, and S354, the main control CPU 600a executes the measurement of the main control RAM 600c in which the ratio calculated in steps S212 and S213 shown in FIG. 26 is stored. Using the RAM area 600cb (see FIG. 16) as an offset, for example, output LED bit data is selected from an output LED data table (not shown) in which display patterns of “0” to “9” are stored (step S355). .

  Next, the main control CPU 600a sets the selected output LED bit data as the content to be displayed on the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9) (step S356).

<Description of measurement display device setting process>
Next, a process for outputting the display content set in FIG. 28 to the measurement display device 610 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the main control CPU 600a sets the common counter COM_CNT updated in step S300 shown in FIG. 27 as an offset and outputs the digit (that is, the first measurement display device 610A, the second measurement display device 610B). , The third measurement display device 610C, or the fourth measurement display device 610D) is selected from the measurement RAM area 600cb of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16), and this is set as the output target RAM area (step). S400).

  Next, the main control CPU 600a outputs the output LED bit data to the LED driver 611c (see FIG. 9) from the output target RAM area (step S401).
