Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a "pachinko machine") or a rotating drum type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a "pachislot machine").

Conventionally, a lottery is performed based on whether or not a game ball wins a prize at the starting port, and the symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the display device so that the symbol is stopped and displayed according to the lottery result. There is known a gaming machine that stops and displays a jackpot symbol on a display device to generate a jackpot gaming state when the result is a jackpot.

Further, a large number of gaming machines have been proposed which can change the state of the gaming machine in the effect by executing the effect during the display of the variation of the symbol or in the state where the symbol variation is not executed (for example, Patent Document 1). ).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-34633

By the way, although various measures have been taken such as displaying the symbols in a variable manner and performing the effects according to the lottery result in a state where the symbols are not changed, there is still room for improvement.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player by providing a game machine in which such an effect is devised .

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following configuration. The game machine has a lottery information acquisition means for acquiring lottery information based on the establishment of a start condition, a determination means for determining whether or not the lottery is a win based on the lottery information acquired by the lottery information acquisition means, and a start condition. The special symbol variation executing means for executing the special symbol variation based on the establishment, and the lottery information up to a predetermined number when the establishment of the starting condition is satisfied but the establishment of the starting condition is not satisfied. It is provided with a holding means for storing and holding, and a pre-determining means for determining whether or not the hit is made before the determination by the determining means is performed, and the effect state is determined based on the determination by the pre-determining means. It is possible to control to the first effect state or the second effect state, and it is said that the second effect state has a higher expectation for the hit than the first effect state, and the first effect state. It is possible to display the first notification effect that can be notified and the second notification effect that can notify that the second effect is in the state, and it is possible to execute a specific reach effect that has higher expectations for the hit than the normal reach effect. When the specific reach effect is executed while the second notification effect is displayed, it can be seen that the second effect is displayed because the second notification effect is displayed. On the other hand, when the specific reach effect same as the specific reach effect executed in the state where the second notification effect is displayed is executed in the state where the first notification effect is displayed, the specificity is specified. After the first notification effect is not displayed during the entire period from the start of the reach effect to the end of the specific reach effect, and the effect symbol is temporarily stopped while the special symbol change is being executed. It is possible to execute a pseudo-variation effect in which the effect symbol is changed again, and it is possible to display a specific image indicating that the effect symbol is changed again, and the first notification effect is displayed. When the specific image is displayed in the state, the first notification effect is not displayed once, but the first notification effect is displayed again, and the specific reach effect is specified when a specific timing arrives. The result of the reach effect is notified, and when the specific timing in the specific reach effect arrives while the second notification effect is displayed, the second notification effect is hidden. , So that it is not possible to know whether it is the first effect state or the second effect state after the specific timing. When the effect related to the occurrence of the reach is executed in the state where the second notification effect is displayed before the specific reach effect is executed, the second notification effect is once displayed. It is characterized in that the second notification effect is displayed again although it is not performed .

According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player.

The grill member 46 is formed of a punching metal having innumerable small holes. The port member 47 communicates between the curtain plate internal space 40a (enclosure 624) and the front of the outer frame 2 via the grill member 46 by two cylinders. The port member 47 has two cylinders formed with a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length, and resonates and amplifies the bass emitted from the main body frame speaker 622 to the rear (inside the enclosure 624) by the principle of Helmholtz resonance. Therefore, rich bass can be radiated to the front (player side) of the outer frame 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 is a bass reflex type, and the player can hear the deep bass.

When the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the seal member 48 is sandwiched between the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a and the lower end of the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 in the main body frame 4 and compressed. This is to prevent the sound in the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 from leaking from between the connection cylinder portion 43a and the connection portion 621c.

Has been done. When the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the iron plate 146a is pulled toward the ball feeding solenoid 145 (upward) by the generated magnetic force, and the ball feeding operation rod 146 is centered on the right end. The left end side near the crank 147 rotates so as to move upward. After that, when the drive of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released, the magnetic force disappears and the weight of the iron plate 146a acts, and the left end side close to the ball feeding crank 147 moves downward around the right end. It rotates in this way and returns to the initial state. As a result, in the ball feeding operation paddle 146, the left end portion (tip) near the ball feeding crank 147 swings in the vertical direction by the ball feeding solenoid 145.

The ball feeding crank 147 engages with the engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction so as to be able to engage with the vertically moving tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146 and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a.

The game ball B does not invade.

Then, when the player presses the upper plate ball removal button 222 of the plate unit 200 downward, the upper plate ball removal slider 242 slides downward together with the operation transmission unit 242b to move the operation transmission unit 242b downward. Along with this, the operating rod 143c also moves relatively downward. When the operation paddle 143c moves downward together with the operation transmission unit 242b, the ball pulling member 143 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the partition portion 143a moves from between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b. The partition is released. As a result, the game ball B that has entered from the entrance 141a falls to the ball extraction port 141b side, and is discharged from the ball extraction port 141b to the ball extraction guide path 241c of the upper plate ball extraction unit 240 in the plate unit 200. It can be discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 202 via the lower plate ball supply port 211c.

Since the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 in which the working transmission portion 242b with which the working paddle 143c of the ball pulling member 143 abuts is formed is urged upward by the spring 243, the game ball B is placed on the partition portion 143a. Even if the ball is supplied vigorously, the impact can be absorbed by the spring 243 via the operating rod 143c, the ball pulling member 143 and the like can be prevented from being damaged, and the game ball B is a partition portion. It can be prevented from bouncing off at 143a.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 142b (see FIG. 35B and the like) that is recessed forward in the upper right corner when viewed from the rear of the ball hitting port 142a in the rear cover 142.

The upper piece 148a of the fraud prevention member 148 is bent so that the right end in front view projects rearward with respect to the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148. The lower piece portion 148b extends on the same surface as the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148. As a result, in a plan view, the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b form a V-shaped groove that expands toward the right.

The fraud prevention member 148 is attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 so that the V-shaped groove formed by the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b communicates with the inside of the ball striking supply port 142a. Become.

According to the fraud prevention member 148, the fraudulent game ball B to which the string is attached is driven into the game area 5a by the ball launching device 540 from the upper plate via the ball feeding unit 140 and attached to the fraudulent game ball B. When a fraudulent act such as manipulating the string to move the fraudulent game ball B in and out of the first starting port 2002 or the like is performed, the fraudulent game ball B launched (struck) by the ball launcher 540 A string attached to the illegal game ball B is inserted between the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b by the momentum, and then a V-shape formed by the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b. It can be cut by the narrowed portion of the shape, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts using the fraudulent game ball B to which the string is attached.

Detect contact. Then, when the handle 182 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182. The drive of 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be driven. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 in some way without touching the handle 182, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the contact of the player. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be driven. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 182 by a method different from the original one to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. ..

Further, in the handle unit 180, when the player presses the single-shot button 193 while the player is rotating the handle 182, the single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, and the firing control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 determines. The drive of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped. As a result, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 182, and by releasing the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193, before the single-shot button 193 is operated. The game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a again with the driving strength.

Further, the handle unit 180 includes four first protrusions 182a, second protrusions 182b, third protrusions 182c, and fourth protrusions 182d on the handle 182, and rotates the handle 182 most in the front-view clockwise direction. When the game ball B is driven into the game area 5a most strongly (so-called "right-handed"), the fourth protrusion 182d of the first protrusion 182a when the handle 182 is not rotated. Since the position is substantially the same as the position, by changing the handle 182 with the fourth protrusion 182d as the first protrusion 182a, the player can maintain the handle 182 in the "right-handed" position in a comfortable state. It is possible to reduce the feeling of fatigue of the player and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

In the assembled state of the effect operation button unit 360, as shown in FIG. 62A, the elevating base 364 is urged upward by the pair of elevating springs 365, and the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 It is inserted from below into the locking portion 371c of the cam portion 371a of the elevating cam member 371. In this state, the elevating base 364 is in the descending position where the elevating base 364 is moved downward, and the pair of elevating springs 365 are compressed. Further, in this state, the central button main body 373 is located at the upward moving end due to the urging force of the button spring 374, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. It has become.

Therefore, in the state of being assembled to the effect operation unit 300, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 protrudes slightly upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. Also protrudes upward (see FIG. 63 and the like).

In this state (state of FIG. 62A), when the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward and moved downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, the central button main body 373 The pressing detection piece 373e is detected by the pressing detection sensor 381, and the pressing operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is detected. In the state where the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed, the upper surface of the central button cover 375 has a height substantially coincided with the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 (see FIG. 65 (c)).

Further, in this state, even if the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is pressed downward, the outer peripheral button cover 380 does not move downward, and the pressing detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 presses. It is not detected by the detection sensor 381. That is, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected.

In this lowered position, when the lift drive gear 368 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view by the operation button lift drive motor 367, the lift cam is driven via the driven gear 369 meshing with the lift drive gear 368. The gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view, and the elevating cam member 371 connected to the elevating cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevating cam member 371 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the cam portion 371a seen in the front in FIG. 62 moves to the right, and the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 moves from the locking portion 371c to the third. The cam 371b rolls to the left side of the locking portion 371c, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d that rolls relatively to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is located from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, the second cam Since the second cam 371d extends vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d moves upward along the second cam 371d due to the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the guide pin 364d and the guide pin 364d At the same time, the elevating base 364 rises and is in the ascending position.

In the raised position, as shown in FIG. 62B, the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is in contact with the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the third cam 371e of the remaining cam portion 371a. It is in a state. In this state, the drive of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

In the raised position, the upper end of the vertical wall portion 364c of the elevating base 364 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and the elevating base 364 is restricted from moving further upward. Further, in the raised position, the positional relationship between the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) in the lowered position is maintained, and the central button cover 375 is maintained. The entire pressing operation unit 303 including the outer peripheral button cover 380 is moving upward, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 projects upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

When the center button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are moved to the ascending position in the state of being assembled to the effect operation unit 300, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are in a state of protruding more than the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330 (FIG. 65 (b) and the like). reference).

When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the button spring 374 in this raised position, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 are attached with the button spring 374. It moves downward against the force, and the central button body 373 comes into contact with the elevating base 364. In the state where the center button main body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the pressure detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 is in a state of protruding downward from the elevating base 364, but the elevating base 364 is the button unit base 361. The pressure detection piece 373e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381 because it is separated from the pressure detection sensor 381.

When the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 resist the urging force of the button spring 374. After the central button body 373 abuts on the elevating base 364, the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361. Become. When the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361, the elevating base 364 is in the lowered position, and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is also in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364.

In this way, when the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361 while the central button body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the central button body 373 protruding downward from the elevating base 364e. Is detected by the press detection sensor 381, and the press of the center button cover 375 (center press operation unit 303a) is detected.

On the other hand, when the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is pressed downward by a force equal to the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in the raised position, the elevating base 364 is moved to the elevating spring via the outer peripheral button cover 380. It moves downward against the urging force of 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361. In this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 is in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364, but since the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) protrudes upward due to the urging force of the button spring 374, the center button main body The pressure detection piece 373e of 373 does not protrude downward from the elevating base 364, and the pressure detection piece 373e is not detected by the pressure detection sensor 381.

To return the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (pressing operation unit 303) from the ascending position to the descending position, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. Then, in FIG. 62B, the third cam 371e, which is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364, moves to the right (direction of the guide pin 364d), so that the third cam The guide pin 364d is pressed downward by the 371e, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371, the downward movement of the elevating base 364 stops and the guide pin 364d moves to the first cam. It rolls along 371b. After that, when the guide pin 364d reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d is inserted into the locking portion 371c recessed upward by the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the operation is performed. By stopping the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 by the button elevating drive motor 367, the original descending position is restored.

[3-5e-9. Operation unit relay board unit]
The operation unit relay board unit 390 in the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54. The operation unit relay board unit 390 is attached to the rear surface of the operation unit base 320. The operation unit relay board unit 390 includes a box-shaped substrate box 391 attached to the rear surface of the main body 321 of the operation unit base 320, and an operation unit relay board 392 installed in the substrate box 391.

[3-5e-10. Action of production operation unit]
Next, the operation of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 63 to 65 and the like. FIG. 63 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the rotation drive unit in the left side view of the effect operation unit. FIG. 64 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the effect operation ring decorative substrate in a plan view of the effect operation unit viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. FIG. 65A is a front view of the plate unit shown in a normal state, FIG. 65B is a front view of the plate unit when the pressing operation unit is in the raised position, and FIG. 65C is a central pressing of the pressing operation unit. It is a front view of the dish unit when the operation part is pressed.

The effect operation unit 300 is provided with an effect operation unit 301 that can be operated by the player on the upper surface. The effect operation unit 301 is composed of a large annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302. The pressing operation unit 303 is an annular outer peripheral pressing operation unit disposed between the columnar central pressing operation unit 303a located at the center of the rotation operation unit 302 and the central pressing operation unit 303a and the rotation operation unit 302. It is composed of 303b.

The rotation operation unit 302 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337 of the effect operation ring 330. The central pressing operation unit 303a is formed by the central button cover 375 and the central button main body 373 of the effect operation button unit 360, and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is formed by the outer peripheral button cover 380 and the outer peripheral substrate cover 378.

The effect operation unit 300 is assembled to the dish unit 200 in a state of being inclined so that the front side of the virtual plane formed by the upper surface of the annular rotation operation unit 302 (effect operation ring 330) is lowered. Therefore, the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operating unit 302 is inclined so as to move backward as it goes downward (in other words, it moves forward as it goes upward). ..

In the normal state, the effect operation unit 300 is in a state in which the pressing operation unit 303 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. Specifically, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. (See Fig. 63, etc.).

In this normal state, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the operation ring drive motor 342 of the rotation drive unit 340 in the left side view, the effect operation ring 330 is passed through the operation ring transmission gear 350. The rotation operation unit 302 of the above rotates in the clockwise direction in a plan view. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view. ..

The operation ring drive motor 342 is a stepping motor, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be reciprocally rotated to vibrate by repeating forward rotation and reverse rotation within a predetermined rotation angle range. This vibration is different from the vibration caused by the vibration speaker 354, and only the rotation operation unit 302 vibrates.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is not only rotated by the operation ring drive motor 342, but can also be rotated by the player. When the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotation drive unit 340 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the left side view via the transmission gear 350 for the operation ring and rotates. When the operation unit 302 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view. The transmission detection gear member 345 detects rotation by two sensors, a first rotation detection sensor 347 and a second rotation detection sensor 348.

The rotation of the transmission detection gear member 345 is detected by detecting a plurality of detection pieces 345b by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348. More specifically, the distance between the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348, which are separated in the circumferential direction, is equal to the distance between the plurality of detection pieces 345b arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. , The interval is not an integral multiple. As a result, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 are configured so as not to detect the detection piece 345b at the same timing.

In the present embodiment, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the clockwise direction in the left side view, the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b. To do. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view, the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b. Detect. Therefore, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 can detect the rotation direction of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) in the order of detecting the detection piece 345b. Further, the rotation speed of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) can be detected by the detection time of the detection piece 345b in the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348.

In this way, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected, the content of the player participation type effect can be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302. Further, when the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is detected, the rotation operation unit 302 is rotationally driven in the same direction as the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, so that the rotation operation can be lightened and assisted. .. Alternatively, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotationally driven in the direction opposite to the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342 to make the rotation operation heavier or give a click feeling.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337, and is formed in a shape in which an arc of more than half of a circle extends in an annular shape. ing. In other words, the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a donut shape. As shown in the figure, the rotation operation unit 302 is attached in a state where the outer peripheral surface, the upper surface, and a part of the inner peripheral surface are exposed, so that the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a shape that can be easily grasped by the player's hand. ..

As a result, the player can touch the rotation operation unit 302 from various directions, so that the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated in a way that is easy for the player to do, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be operated. The sex is enhanced. Further, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated when the pressing operation unit 303 is in either the lower position or the ascending position. Since the lower surface side of the rotation operation unit 302 is attached to the operation unit base 320, the rotation operation unit 302 cannot be gripped like the steering wheel of an automobile.

As shown in FIG. 64, the effect operation unit 300 includes an effect operation ring decorative substrate 352 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged in an annular shape below the effect operation ring 330. As a result, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be light-emitting and decorated by emitting the LED of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352. Further, in the effect operation ring decorative substrate 352, since a plurality of LEDs are arranged in an annular shape along the rotation operation unit 302, the plurality of LEDs arranged in a row are sequentially arranged according to the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302. By emitting light, only a specific portion of the rotating rotation operation unit 302 can be light-emitting and decorated. This makes it possible for the player to have the illusion that an LED (decorative substrate) is provided in the rotating rotation operation unit 302.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit 300, as shown in FIG. 65 (a), the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 has an upper surface thereof more than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a descending position that protrudes slightly upward. In this state, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated, and the central pressing operation unit 303a in the pressing operation unit 303 can be pressed. When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a (center button cover 375) is lowered to substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380), and the pressure is detected. Pressing is detected by the sensor 381.

In this normal (lowering position) state, even if the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b in the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed downward, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380) does not move downward, and the pressure is detected. The pressure is not detected by the sensor 381.

In a normal state, when the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is disengaged from the cam portion 371a (first cam 371b). Then, due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365, the pressing operation unit 303 vigorously protrudes upward together with the elevating base 364 to be in the ascending position (see FIG. 65 (b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 303 is located above the upper surface of the rotation operating unit 302. In other words, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 project significantly upward from the upper surface of the effect operation ring 330.

When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the central pressing operation unit 303a first moves downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, and the central pressing operation unit 303a The upper surface and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are in a state of substantially the same height. In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 does not detect the pressure. Further, the central pressing operation unit 303a moves downward together with the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the upper surfaces of the central pressing operation unit 303a and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface (see FIG. 65 (c)). In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 detects the pressure.

Further, when the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a remains projected upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b. The outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b and the central pressing operation unit 303a move downward, and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302 (see FIG. 65 (a)). .. In this state, the pressure detection sensor 381 does not detect the pressure.

As described above, the pressing operation unit 303 of the present embodiment is not detected by the pressing detection sensor 381 unless the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed to the downward moving end regardless of the descending position or the ascending position. ing. Therefore, since it is possible to urge the player to firmly press the central pressing operation unit 303a, it is possible to draw attention to the operation of the effect operation unit 301 in the player participation type production. , Player participation type production can be more enjoyed.

The rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position. Therefore, when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, depending on the player, the pressing operation unit 303 may be used as a clue to facilitate the rotation operation, or the pressing operation unit 303 may be an obstacle to perform the rotation operation. Since the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, the operability of the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, and more various operations can be enjoyed.

It is attached to the guide main body 502a by being tightened together with the guide main body 502a by a binding band 504 inserted through a set of through holes 502d at the same position.

The connection cable guide member 502 of the main body frame 4 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1 and the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4. Behind the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub-relay board 105 of the door frame 3. (See FIG. 84 (a)). In this state, the connection cable 503 extends to the left from the connection cable guide member 502, is then bent back in front of the lower hinge mounting portion 501l, passes through the cable holder 103a of the door frame 3, and covers the door frame relay board. It extends into 107. The cable holder 103a of the door frame 3 is arranged to the left of the left end of the connection cable guide member 502.

In this state, when the door frame 3 is hinged to open with respect to the main body frame 4, the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pulled forward by the side of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3. The connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the rightmost mounting shaft 502c. At this time, in the present embodiment, the relationship between the opening angle α of the door frame 3 and the opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 satisfies α / 2 ≧ β (preferably α / 3 ≧ β). (See FIG. 84 (b)).

The opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 is 0 degrees when the door frame 3 is closed (when the opening angle α of the door frame 3 is 0 degrees). The opening angle β of the connecting cable guide member 502 increases as the opening angle α increases when the door frame 3 is opened, but the increase stops when the opening angle α becomes larger than a certain level (for example, about 90 degrees). It changes like this. In the present embodiment, the maximum opening angle β is set to be less than 45 degrees.

In this way, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward of the main body frame base 501, so that the connection cable guide member 502 By guiding the connection cable 503, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4.

When the open door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 moves relatively rearward, so that the connection cable 503 presses the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 rearward. Then, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the mounting shaft 502c so that the left end side moves rearward. At this time, since the connecting cable guide member 502 is opened at an opening angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connecting cable guide member 502 does not hinder the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 is opened. It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed, and the connection cable 503 is not sandwiched between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4. It is possible to prevent problems from occurring in the door.

Further, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 guided by the connection cable guide member 502 is folded back 180 degrees, so that the connection cable 503 is folded back at the folded portion. You can make a habit. As a result, when the door frame 3 is opened and the portion of the connecting cable 503 that is folded 180 degrees is changed to open, a force that tries to close the connecting cable 503 due to the folding habit acts. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) from moving in the opening direction due to the bending habit, and the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) is closed. It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be closed smoothly.

Further, on the door frame 3 side, the folded connection cable 503 is placed closer to the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103a causes the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 to be held by the hinge pin 122 on the door frame and the hinge pin 122. It can be pulled toward the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 126 under the door frame.

Further, in the present embodiment, the door passes through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502, is centered on the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame, and is more door than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103. The angle at which the tangent line tangent to the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axis core) side of the upper hinge pin 122 and the lower hinge pin 126 of the door frame intersects with the front surface of the main body frame 4 is 45 degrees. It is configured as follows.

As shown in FIG. 89, the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 has an upstream end opening upward from the center in the left-right direction to the left and a downstream end near the right end in the left-right direction. It opens downward. The payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the top to a height of about 1/3 of the total height so as to gradually move to the left from the upstream end, and then bends slightly diagonally downward to the right. It bends at about 1/3 of the left and right width and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589. Then, above the center of the payout blade 589, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B, a gap slightly larger than the game ball B is provided between the payout blade 589 and the outer circumference. It extends downward in an arc shape concentric with the payout blade 589 so as to form, and then extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right side of the rear view from the center of the payout blade 589.

In the payout passage 580a, the payout detection sensor 591 is arranged below the payout blade 589 and directly above the downstream end.

The ball-extracting passage 580b branches at a portion of the payout passage 580a that extends diagonally downward from the upstream end and bends to the right, and extends vertically to the lower end along the left side of the rear view, in the rear view of the bottom surface. It opens downward near the left end.

The payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 face each other on the side where the ball pulling movable piece 592 is attached at the portion where the payout passage 580a and the ball pulling passage 580b are branched, and the outer diameter of the game ball B is opposed to each other. The main body side guide wall 581a is formed so as to project rearward and forward from each so as to form a narrower gap, and to be continuous with the left side wall in the rear view of the payout passage 580a and the ball ejection passage 580b, respectively. And a rear lid side guide wall 582a is provided. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are rear view of the portion extending to the right side of the rear view at a height of about 1/3 from the top branching from the ball ejection passage 580b in the payout passage 580a. It is formed in the left position. The main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a are curved so as to be recessed diagonally upward to the left in the rear view, and are mainly formed to form a side wall of the ball pulling passage 580b. The ball pulling movable piece 592 rotates between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

The payout motor 584 is attached to the right side of the rear view of the portion of the payout device main body 581 where the payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the upstream end. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear member 588 are arranged in front of the payout device main body 581, and the front side is covered with the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588 is provided with three flat plate-shaped detection pieces 588b extending outward at intervals of an angle of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

The payout blade 589 is arranged between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582. The payout blade 589 is provided with a plurality of blade pieces 589a extending outward in a flat plate shape at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The blade piece 589a is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B at a portion of the payout passage 580a extending from above toward the rotation axis and then extending to the right in the rear view. In addition, it protrudes into the payout passage 580a. The payout blade 589 includes a ball accommodating portion 589b recessed between the three blade pieces 589a by an arc having a radius younger than the radius of the game ball B toward the center. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b. As a result, the payout blade 589 can be restricted from moving the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a, and is rotated in the clockwise direction in the rear view. As a result, the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b can be moved to the downstream side.

The payout gear member 588 and the payout blade 589 are coaxially and integrally rotatably attached by the payout device rear lid 582 and the payout device front lid 583. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is arranged on the left side of the rotation shaft of the payout gear member 588 when viewed from the rear. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is for detecting the rotation of the payout blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 that rotates integrally with the payout blade 589.

The ball pulling movable piece 592 is rotatably attached around an axis extending back and forth at the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is bent in a dogleg shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces the inside of the payout passage 580a. The ball-extracting movable piece 592 is formed so that the depth in the front-rear direction is smaller than the gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Through the gap between them, it is possible to project into the ball-extracting passage 580b or retreat to the outside of the ball-extracting passage 580b.

The ball pulling lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the left side of the rear view near the upper end of the ball pulling movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 penetrates the rear lid 582 of the payout device and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the descending end, the lower part can come into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball pulling movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction in the rear view can be restricted. The ball pulling passage 580b can be closed by the ball pulling movable piece 592. Further, by locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the rising end, the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened (FIG. FIG. See 90).

When the ball pulling lever 593 is raised to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 rotatable, the game ball B, which has been in a state like a string of beads on the upstream side of the ball pulling movable piece 592, becomes a ball pulling movable piece 592. It will flow down to the ball pulling passage 580b side beyond. At this time, since the ball ejection passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a flows straight down to the ball ejection passage 580b side. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball removal passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is no such thing as the payout blade 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so that the game ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. Will flow down soon.

In this way, in the state where the ball pulling movable piece 592 is rotatable, the game ball B flows down in the ball pulling passage 580b at a high speed, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 projecting into the ball pulling passage 580b. The game ball B vigorously abuts on the lower end side of the ball, but the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the payout device main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the payout device rear lid 582. Since it is possible to move to the outside of the inner surface of the ball pulling passage 580b, the ball pulling movable piece 592 moves to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b due to the contact force, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 is a ball. It is not sandwiched between the wall surface of the drawing passage 580b and the game ball B, and the game ball B can prevent a strong force from acting on the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the ball can be pulled out by the collision of the game ball B. It is possible to suppress a decrease in durability and damage of the piece 592.

For this reason, the movable ball-extracting piece 592 can be made less likely to be damaged, and more game balls B can be discharged to the island facility side on the downstream side of the ball-extracting passage 580b more quickly. It is possible to suppress an increase in the time required for replacement and maintenance of the machine 1, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side.

Further, when the ball pulling movable piece 592 is in a rotatable state, the ball pulling movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a at a narrower interval than the game ball B, and the ball pulling passage 580b. In order to move to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, the ball pulling movable piece 592 comes into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592 protruding into the ball pulling passage 580b, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. Even if the game ball B moves to the side between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a together with the ball pulling movable piece 592 when moving outward through the space, the space is larger than that of the game ball B. Only the game ball B can be prevented from moving outward due to the narrow space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a.

Then, the movement of the game ball B to the outside is blocked by the space between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, so that the game ball B is separated from the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the subsequent ball. Since the movement of the movable ball-pulling piece 592 is due to the inertial force, a strong force does not act on the movable ball-pulling piece 592, the movable ball-pulling piece 592 can be made hard to be damaged, and the guide on the main body side. The game ball B does not jump out of the ball pulling passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the game ball B can be reliably distributed to the downstream side of the ball pulling passage 580b.

[4-7c. Upper full tank path unit]

In the state where the upper full tank path unit 600 is assembled in the payout unit 560, the upstream end of the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a is opened just below the downstream end of the payout passage 580a in the payout device 580, and the upper ball is pulled out. The upstream end of the passage 600e opens just below the downstream end of the ball ejection passage 580b in the payout device 580. As a result, the game ball B released (paid out) from the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 passes through the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a and the upper ball storage passage 600b, and passes through the upper normal payout passage 600c or the upper full tank payout passage 600d. It is emitted downward from any of the above. Further, the game ball B discharged downward from the ball pulling passage 580b of the payout device 580 is discharged downward through the upper ball pulling passage 600e.

[4-7d. Lower full tank path unit]
The lower full tank path unit 610 in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 87 and 88. The lower full tank path unit 610 is placed on the bottom plate portion 551 g of the payout base 551 in the payout base unit 550, and is attached to the lower part of the upper full tank path unit 600. The lower full tank path unit 610 guides the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or to the substrate unit 620 side. The lower full tank path unit 610 extends in the front-rear direction so that the front end side is lowered, and the rear end extends upward.

The lower full tank path unit 610 has a lower normal payout passage 610a, a lower full tank payout passage 610b, and a lower ball removal passage 610c, and is a lower full tank base that extends in the front-rear direction and is open upward. 611, the lower full tank cover 612 attached to the upper side of the lower full tank base 611, and the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower normal payout passage 610a which are rotatably attached to the front end of the lower full tank base 611 around an axis extending back and forth. A payout passage opening / closing door 613 that can open and close the downstream end opening of the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and a payout passage opening / closing door 613 that closes the downstream end opening of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are attached. It is equipped with a rushing closing spring 614.

In the lower full tank path unit 610, the lower normal payout passage 610a, the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and the lower ball removal passage 610c are arranged in this order from the left in the front view on the upper surface of the portion extending upward at the rear end. In the state, each upstream end opens upward. The lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b extend forward in a state of being arranged side by side, and then open forward at the front end of the lower full tank ball path unit 610. The lower full tank payout passage 610b extends forward in a state slightly lower than the lower normal payout passage 610a. The lower ball pulling passage 610c extends forward along the front right side surface of the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and opens to the right in the middle of the front-rear direction.

The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is rotatably attached at a position between the front end openings of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b. The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is urged in the clockwise direction in the front view by the closing spring 614. Under normal conditions, the front end openings (downstream ends) of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are respectively. The opening) is closed. The payout passage opening / closing door 613 is provided with an actuating protrusion 613a projecting forward. The actuating protrusion 613a is formed in a front view shape in a short arc shape centered on the rotation center of the payout passage opening / closing door 613, and as the front end surface approaches the end side in the counterclockwise direction. It is tilted so that it protrudes forward. The actuating protrusion 613a is formed so as to come into contact with the door opening / closing contact portion 150f of the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3 when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4.

The lower full tank path unit 610 is assembled in the payout unit 560, and the lower normal payout passage 610a, the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and the lower ball removal passage 610c, which are open upward at the upper end of the rear portion, are each upper full. It is located directly below the downstream end of the upper normal payout passage 600c, the upper full tank payout passage 600d, and the upper ball removal passage 600e of the tongue ball path unit 600. As a result, the game ball B discharged downward from the upper normal payout passage 600c circulates in the lower normal payout passage 610a, and the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank payout passage 600d circulates in the lower full tank payout passage 610b. The game ball B discharged downward from the upper ball pulling passage 600e will circulate in the lower ball pulling passage 610c.

Further, in the state where the lower full tank path unit 610 is assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the front end (downstream end) of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b penetrates the foul cover unit 150 in the door frame 3. It opens immediately after the ball passage 150a and the full ball receiving port 150b. Further, the downstream end of the lower ball pulling passage 610c is opened so as to face the ball pulling guide portion 627 which is opened to the left in the base unit 620b of the substrate unit 620.

In the normal state (the state in which the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4), the lower full tank path unit 610 has the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 in contact with the door opening / closing contact of the foul cover unit 150. By abutting against the portion 150f, it rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front against the urging force of the closing spring 614. As a result, the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are open, and the foul cover unit 150 communicates with the penetrating ball passage 150a and the full tank receiver 150b. It is in a state.

On the other hand, when the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is separated from the door opening / closing contact portion 150f of the foul cover unit 150, and the payout passage opening / closing door 613 Is rotated in the clockwise direction in the front view by the urging force of the closing spring 614, and the openings at the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are closed. In this state, the game balls B in the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b cannot move forward from their respective front end openings. As a result, even if the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4, the game ball B does not spill from the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b.

[4-7e. Flow of game balls in the payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 92. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled on the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is located at the descending end, and the ball pulling passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in the open state.

In the ball tank 552 opened upward, a predetermined number of balls are detected by the ball cutting detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570 from the game hall island facility in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The game ball B is supplied. The game balls B supplied and stored in the ball tank 552 are sent into the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 through the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 in a state of being arranged in a row by the tank rail 553. When the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the game ball B cannot move (flow down) to the downstream side of the payout blade 589, and a plurality of game balls B stay on the upstream side of the payout blade 589. It becomes.

Then, the game ball B in the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 presses the movable piece member 573, and the ball cutting detection sensor 574 detects the movable piece member 573. From this, it can be seen that the game ball B is stored in the passage between at least the movable piece member 573 and the payout blade 589.

In this state, when the payout blade 589 is rotated in the rear view clockwise direction by the payout motor 584, the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b moves in the rear view clockwise direction, and the payout blade in the payout passage 580a It is released to the downstream side of 589. Then, the game ball B released from the payout blade 589 (ball accommodating portion 589b) is sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank ball path unit 600 after being detected by the payout detection sensor 591.

The game ball B sent to the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a of the upper full tank path unit 600 is arranged directly under the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a through the upper ball storage passage 600b in a normal state. It flows down to the upper normal payout passage 600c. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down into the upper normal payout passage 600c passes through the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610 and the through ball passage 150a of the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3, and the plate unit 200. It is discharged into the upper plate 201 from the upper plate ball supply port 211a of the plate unit base 211 in the above.

When a large number of game balls B are paid out from the payout device 580 and the inside of the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B, the game balls B cannot be discharged forward from the upper plate ball supply port 211a, so that the payout device The game ball B paid out from the 580 stays in the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610, and when the game ball B is further paid out, the lower normal payout passage 610a and the upstream side It will also stay in the upper normal payout passage 600c of the upper full tank path unit 600 that communicates. Then, when the game ball B is further discharged while the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled with the game ball B, the upper ball storage passage 600b communicating with the upper normal payout passage 600c is filled. As the game ball B begins to stay, the game ball B begins to flow down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d adjacent to the upper normal payout passage 600c.

Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper full tank payout passage 600d passes through the lower full tank payout passage 610b of the lower full tank path unit 610, and the full tank receiver 150b in the foul cover unit 150 of the door frame 3 Can be received by. After that, the game ball B received by the full tank ball receiving port 150b is discharged into the lower plate 202 through the storage passage 150e, the ball discharge port 150d, and the lower plate ball supply port 211c of the plate unit base 211. As a result, when the upper plate 201 is filled with the game balls B and the game balls B are further paid out, the game balls B can be automatically paid out to the lower plate 202.

When the lower plate 202 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate B is further paid out. The game ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 moves and is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are filled with the game balls B ( The player is informed that the tank is full), and the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is temporarily stopped until the full tank detection sensor 154 becomes a non-detection state.

When the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 is discharged from the pachinko machine 1 during maintenance or replacement of the pachinko machine 1, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is moved upward from the position of the lowering end. Slide it to the position of the rising end. After that, the lower end side of the ball pulling movable piece 592 is pushed by the game ball B and rotates in the clockwise direction in the rear view, and the ball pulling movable piece 592 becomes the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a. It is in a state of being pushed out of the ball pulling passage 580b through the space. As a result, the game ball B can enter the ball removal passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a, and the game ball B on the upstream side is discharged downward through the ball removal passage 580b.

At this time, at the portion of the ball pulling movable piece 592, the flowing game ball B comes into contact with the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a more strongly than the ball pulling movable piece 592, so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 Is hard to break.

Then, the game ball B discharged downward from the ball pulling passage 580b of the payout device 580 passes through the upper ball pulling passage 600e of the upper full tank path unit 600 and the lower ball pulling passage 610c of the lower full ball path unit 610. After being discharged from the downstream end opening of the lower ball ejection passage 610c to the ball ejection guiding portion 627 of the substrate unit 620, it passes through the ejection ball receiving portion 628 and the ball ejection port 629 to the rear outside of the pachinko machine 1 (game hole). It is discharged to the island facility side).

As described above, the main body frame 4 has a rear portion that can be inserted into the frame of the outer frame 2, and is removable and hinged to the outer frame 2 by the main body frame upper hinge member 510 and the main body frame lower hinge assembly 520. A frame-shaped main frame base 501 that is rotatably attached to support the outer periphery of the game board 5, and an inverted L-shaped base that is attached along the upper side and the left side of the front view on the rear side of the main body frame base 501. The payout base 551, the ball tank 552 attached to the payout base 551 and open upward in a box shape (container shape) extending to the left and right, and the ball tank 552 attached to the left side of the ball tank 552 and opened upward. The tank rail 553 extending to the left in a groove shape, the first rail cover 554 attached to a part of the upper end of the tank rail 553, and the tank rail separated from the first rail cover 554 to the left in the front view. The second rail cover 555 attached to the upper end of the 553, the ball rectifying member 556 attached to the upper end of the tank rail 555 at a position between the first rail cover 554 and the second rail cover 555, and the tank rail 553. A ball stop member 557 attached to the downstream end of the ball, and a payout device 580 attached to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 on the rear side of the payout base 551 to pay out the game ball B to the player side. It has.

The ball tank 552 has a bottom wall 552a which is formed in a quadrangle whose plan view extends in the left-right direction and is inclined so that the left side is lowered in the front view, and the bottom wall 552a from the front side and the rear side, respectively. It has a front wall 552b and a rear wall 552c extending upward, and a left side wall 552d and a right side wall 552e extending upward from both the left and right sides of the bottom wall 552a, respectively, and is formed in a container shape with the upper side open. Has been done. The ball tank 552 stores game balls B supplied from island facilities such as a game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, the ball tank 552 has an overflow portion 552f which is notched from above in the front wall 552b and is formed lower than the remaining outer peripheral upper end edge. The overflow portion 552f has a length of about 3/4 of the lateral length of the front wall 552b from the end side of the left side wall 552d of the front wall 552b toward the end on the opposite side (right side wall 552e side). It is formed over the length.

In front view, the right end side (upstream side) of the tank rail 553 communicates with the inside of the ball tank 552, and the downstream side extends to one side (left side) in the left-right direction so as to move away from the ball tank 552. .. The tank rail 553 has a gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a that extends from the vicinity of the upstream to the downstream end at the bottom and is formed so that only one game ball B can be distributed in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game ball B. Have. The main guide portion 553a is inclined so as to be lowered toward the left side of the front view. Further, in the plan view, the main guide portion 553a extends from the right end to a position of about 1/10 of the total length in the left-right direction in parallel with the axis extending in the left-right direction from the right end side, and then moves to the left. It is formed in a crank shape that extends diagonally from the right end to a position of about 4/10 of the total length in the left-right direction so as to move backward as it goes toward it, and extends parallel to the axis line extending in the left-right direction to the left end. .. In the tank rail 553, a portion of the main guide portion 553a extending parallel to the axis extending from the left end to the right in the left-right direction extends to the upper end with the same width, and the first rail extends to the upper end of this portion. The upper side is closed by attaching the cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556. Further, the tank rail 553 is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows becomes lower toward the downstream end (left end) at the portion where the upper side is closed, and the game ball B is formed at the downstream end. Is formed at a height at which only one can be distributed (a height slightly higher than the outer diameter of the game ball B).

Further, the tank rail 553 extends above the main guide portion 553a from the upstream end to a portion where the upper side is closed, and the main game balls B are arranged in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game balls B. It has a bulging portion 553b that bulges wider than the width of the guiding portion 553a and narrows in the width direction from the upstream end to the downstream side so as to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a. There is. With this bulging portion 553b, a plurality of game balls B that have spread in the width direction on the upstream side can be aligned so that the width direction becomes the width of one game ball B toward the downstream side. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed so that the width direction becomes narrower from the upper end side toward the lower main guiding portion 553a. Therefore, the tank rail 553 can align the plurality of game balls B circulating in the bulging portion 553b so that the width directions are aligned in the downstream side and the downward side.

The bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 has the center of curvature arranged on the inner side, and is formed in a three-dimensionally curved shape. Since the center of the curved curvature of the bulging portion 553b is arranged above the main guiding portion 553a, the tank rail 553 is slightly at the boundary between the main guiding portion 553a and the bulging portion 553b. Chamfered corners are formed. Further, the bulging portion 553b is formed to have a larger curvature on the downstream side than on the upstream side. For this reason, in the game ball B flowing through the three-dimensionally curved bulging portion 553b, the direction in which the reaction force from the bulging portion 553b side acts depends on the position of the bulging portion 553b that abuts. It changes in various directions, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball shavings in the bulging portion 553b. More specifically, when the bulging portion 553b is formed into a shape that extends constantly, a reaction force always acts in a constant direction from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b on the game ball B circulating in the bulging portion 553b. Since the reaction force is difficult to disperse, the internal game ball B is always pushed in a certain direction, so that the game ball B is difficult to escape and ball clogging (ball shaving) is likely to occur. On the other hand, since the bulging portion 553b has a three-dimensional curved surface, the direction of the reaction force acting from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b varies depending on the position of the game ball B. By dispersing the pushing directions of the plurality of game balls B, the pushed game balls B can be easily escaped, and ball clogging (ball shavings) can be less likely to occur.

Further, the tank rail 553 is made of a transparent material and is configured so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, even if a ball clogging (ball gummy) occurs in the tank rail 553, the state of the game ball B in the tank rail 553 can be seen from the outside, so that the place where the ball is clogged can be quickly identified. can do. Therefore, since the ball clogging in the tank rail 553 can be quickly cleared, the interruption of the game due to the occurrence of the ball clogging can be shortened as much as possible, and the player's interest in the game due to the interruption of the game. The decrease can be suppressed. Further, since the tank rail 553 is made transparent, the rear side (back unit 3000) of the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 can be visually recognized from the rear through the tank rail 553, so that the game board 5 can be visually recognized. When a movable defect occurs in the movable production unit or the like, the status of the transmission mechanism such as the drive motor, gears, belts, etc. can be confirmed with the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4, and the same as above. Can produce the effects of.

In order to return the game ball B, which extends to the left (left) and overflows forward from the ball tank 552, to the ball tank 552, the rear end side is inclined so as to be the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the front end side is higher. It extends rearward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 at the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m and the overflow surface portion 501 m to the upper side of the bulging portion 553b where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open, and the rear end side is low. A part of the game ball B that overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m because it is tilted so that the side (left side) away from the ball tank 552 is lowered in the left-right direction. It is equipped with a detour passage 552 g for guiding the vehicle.

Further, the main body frame 4 is provided on the side opposite to the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 on both outer sides of the detour passage 552 g in the left-right direction, and the distance in the left-right direction is wider than the outer diameter of the game ball and is on the bottom surface. It is provided at a position lower than the overflow surface portion 501 m on the opposite side of the detour passage 552 g with the discharge portion 551j whose height is lower than the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open and the discharge portion 551j. It covers the upper side of an external terminal plate 558 having a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring can be connected from the rear and a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a (external terminal plate 558), and the upper surface is an overflow surface portion. It is provided with a terminal cover 551k that extends horizontally at a position higher than 501 m.

The overflow surface portion 501 m is formed on the main body frame base 501. The overflow surface portion 501 m has a flat plate shape from a position lower than the outer diameter of the game ball B by a distance of 2 to 4 times from the upper side on the rear surface of the base body 501a, which is formed in a rectangular shape with a front view extending vertically. It extends to.

It is located to the right of 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction. The height of the overflow surface portion 501 m from the front end to the rear end is formed to be about ½ of the outer diameter of the game ball B. In the overflow surface portion 501 m, a gap having a distance of about twice the outer diameter of the game ball B is formed between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame upper member 30 in a state where the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. ..

The main body frame base 501 is arranged on both the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m, and has a flat plate-shaped left step portion 501n and a right step portion 501o extending substantially horizontally at the same height as the front end of the overflow surface portion 501 m. The upper ends of the left-stage portion 501n and the right-stage portion 501o are higher than those of the left-stage portion 501n and the right-stage portion 501o on both lateral sides in the left-right direction, and extend in the front-rear direction in a strip shape. It has a plurality of ribs 501p, which are arranged in rows at intervals narrower than the diameter. The left-stage portion 501n is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is shorter than the length in the front-rear direction. Further, the left step portion 501n is inclined so that the right corner at the rear end is slightly lower than the horizontal plane in the front view. The right-stage portion 501o is formed to have a longer length in the left-right direction than a length in the front-rear direction. Further, the right step portion 501o is inclined so that the left corner at the rear end is slightly lower than the horizontal plane in the front view.

The plurality of ribs 501p of the main body frame base 501 are formed higher than the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the lower surface of the outer frame upper member 30 of the outer frame 2 is formed. The gap between the two is formed at a height that is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B.

When the main body frame base 501 is assembled to the main body frame 4, the right end of the overflow surface portion 501 m coincides with the right end of the overflow portion 552f in the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction and the overflow surface portion 501 m. The left end of the detour passage 552g coincides with the left end in the left-right direction, and the right end of the right step portion 501o coincides with the right end wall 552e of the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction.

The detour passage 552 g is integrally formed with the ball tank 552. In the following, the container-shaped region surrounded by the bottom wall 552a, the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, the left side wall 552d, and the right side wall 552e is also simply referred to as a ball tank 552. The detour passage 552g extends from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 to the left in a flat plate shape, and the front end is the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the rear end is inclined so as to be low. And a weir portion extending upward from the end side of the passage surface 552h opposite to the left side wall 552d to the same height as the left side wall 552d. Regarding the rear end side of the passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g, the left end side (weir portion 552i side) of the rear end side extends rearward to the same position as the rear wall 552c of the ball tank 552 in front view, and the left end side thereof. It extends diagonally so as to move forward toward the right end side. The passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g may be inclined in the left-right direction horizontally.

The detour passage 552g is assembled on the main body frame 4 so that the rear end of the tank rail 553 extending in a crank shape in the left-right direction is along the front end side of the portion extending diagonally in the left-right direction. It is extending. That is, the rear end of the detour passage 552 g extends diagonally in the left-right direction. As a result, the game ball B guided backward by the detour passage 552 g changes so that its distribution direction is perpendicular to the oblique rear end from the oblique rear end. The diagonally extending rear end of the detour passage 552g extends substantially parallel to the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 (the distribution direction of the game ball B in the tank rail 553). Therefore, since the game ball B is discharged from the rear end of the detour passage 552 g in a direction substantially perpendicular to the distribution direction (width direction) of the tank rail 553, the detour passage 552 g is discharged at a wide portion of the tank rail 553. You can receive the game ball B from. Further, since the game ball B is supplied from the detour passage 552 g into the tank rail 553 in a direction substantially perpendicular (perpendicular direction) to the distribution direction of the game ball B, the tank rail by the game ball B from the detour passage 552 g. It is possible to make it difficult for ball clogging in 553 to occur.

Since the rear end of the detour passage 552g extends diagonally in the left-right direction so as to move backward toward the downstream side of the tank rail 553, the game ball B moves from the detour passage 552g to the tank rail 553 side. When released, the diagonally extending rear end allows the game ball B to be discharged to the upstream side, which is wider than the downstream side, where the width of the tank rail 553 is narrower. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball shavings in the tank rail 553 by discharging it to a wide part of the tank rail.

Further, the portion for guiding the game ball B by the detour passage 552 g corresponds to the rear portion of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 and the outside of the front left portion of the rear wall 552c in the tank rail 553. A game ball B that has submerged under the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 (the ceiling side of the opening 552k) is distributed from inside the ball tank 552. For this reason, at the portion of the tank rail 553 behind the detour passage 552 g, the height of the plurality of game balls B stacked in the vertical direction is the height of the ceiling of the opening 552 k (the wall of the tank rail 553). Height) will not be exceeded. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 in the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552 g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant space) in which the game balls B can be stacked upward, so that the detour passage 552 g The game ball B guided rearward can be reliably received by the tank rail 553, and the game ball B does not spill backward from the tank rail 553.

The ball tank 552 has a flat plate shape extending to the right from a position slightly lower than the overflow portion 552f on the left side wall 552d on the inside surrounded by the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, and the left side wall 552d. It has a guide surface portion 552j. The guide surface portion 552j extends in the front-rear direction from the front wall 552b to the rear wall 552c. Further, the guide surface portion 552j has a right end side in the front view from a position of about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the front wall 552b from the left end of the front wall 552b in the left-right direction from the left end of the front wall 552b to the front wall 552b. Approximately 1/9 of the total length extends diagonally backward from the front wall 552b to a position near about 1/2 of the total length in the front-rear direction of the left side wall 552d, and then extends parallel to the left side wall 552d to the vicinity of the rear wall 552c. From there, it is formed in a shape parallel to the rear wall 552c with a constant width in the front-rear direction and extending from the left end of the rear wall 552c to a position of about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the rear wall 552c.

In the ball tank 552, in a plan view, a straight line connecting the right end side of the guide surface portion 552j formed in the above shape, the end of the right end side on the front wall 552b side, and the end on the rear wall 552c side. The region surrounded by and has an opening 552k formed so as to penetrate in the vertical direction. Further, the ball tank 552 is a flat plate-shaped flange extending laterally outward and vertically on the same surface as the front wall 552b on the front end side of the right side wall 552e and the front end side of the weir portion 552i of the detour passage 552 g, respectively. It has a portion 552 liters. In the ball tank 552, the height of the upper end edge of the front wall 552b excluding the overflow portion 552f and the upper end edge of the two flange portions 552l is the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d and the rear wall 552c (main body frame base 501). It is formed higher than the left step portion 501n and the right step portion 501o).

When the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are assembled from each other, the upstream end (right end in the front view) of the tank rail 553 is connected to the opening 552k of the ball tank 552. Further, in a plan view, the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape and the portion extending straight in the left-right direction on the left side thereof are located behind (protruding) the ball tank 552. )doing. The rear end side of the detour passage 552g on the left side of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 is located at the front end of the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape.

The discharge portion 551j is formed on the upper surface of the payout base 551. The discharge portion 551j is in the ball tank 552 so as to be stepped backward from a height lower than the detour passage 552g to the same height as the bottom wall 552a of the ball tank 552 in a state of being assembled in the main body frame 4. After extending backward from the rear side of the flange portion 552l on the left side of the front view to the tank rail 553, a position higher than the upper end of the tank rail 553 to the left along the tank rail 553 (center in the left-right direction of the second rail cover 555). It extends to a nearby position) and then extends backward.

The external terminal plate 558 is attached with a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a arranged side by side in the left-right direction on the rear surface. The electric wire connection terminal 558a is a one-touch terminal in which the grip portion can be opened by operating the lever to grip the tip of the electric wiring. The external terminal plate 558 is arranged in front of the portion closed by the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556 on the upper side of the tank rail 553 in the state of being assembled to the main body frame 4. .. The terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558 (a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a) is formed on the upper surface of the payout base 551. The upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is formed at substantially the same height as the upper end of the flange portion 552l of the ball tank 552.

Next, the action and effect of the upper part of the main body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the detour passage 552g are such that the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g are lower on the rear end side as shown by the white arrows in FIG. The left-stage portion 501n is inclined so that the rear end right corner is lowered, and the right-stage portion 501o is inclined so that the rear end left corner is lowered. Further, the bottom wall 552a and the tank rail 553 (main guide portion 553a) of the ball tank 552 are inclined so that the left end side is lower in the front view. Further, the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the right end side in the direction opposite to the bottom wall 552a is lower.

Then, when the amount of the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 increases due to the supply from the island facility, first of all, the overflow portion 552f, which is the lowest of the uppermost edges of the outer circumference, is exceeded. The game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can be released to the overflow surface portion 501 m, and can be discharged from the ball tank 552 to the front overflow surface portion 501 m. The game ball B can be returned to the ball tank 552 by inclining the overflow surface portion 501 m (see FIG. 104). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the game balls B from further increasing in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress the strong pressing of the game balls B in the ball tank 552 (increase in ball pressure). , It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called ball shavings) due to the engagement of the game balls B in the ball tank 552.

Further, since the detour passage 552 g is provided, as shown in FIG. 105, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B accumulated in the overflow surface portion 501 m from exerting a strong backward pressing force on the game ball B in the ball tank 552, and the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is clogged. Can be prevented. Further, since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m can be prevented from spilling to the outside (rear side) of the main body frame 4. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a problem that the game ball B spilled on the outside of the main body frame 4 is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 cannot be opened or closed.

Further, a part of the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be guided to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552 g, and along the left side away from the ball tank 552. Since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 from a fixed position, the flow (pressure) of the game ball B sent to the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552 g can be directed to the downstream side of the tank rail 553. , It is possible to prevent the game balls B from being clogged by suppressing the strong pressing of the game balls B in the tank rail 553.

Further, since the height of the remaining upper end edge other than the overflow portion 552f is higher than that of the overflow portion 552f at the outer peripheral upper end edge of the ball tank 552, the ball between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g. The upper end edge of the left side wall 552d on one side in the left-right direction of the tank 552 is higher than the overflow portion 552f, that is, the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m. As a result, the game ball B, which overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m beyond the overflow portion 552 f and is distributed from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the detour passage 552 g, is on the left side of one side of the ball tank 552. By being blocked by the wall 552d, it is possible to prevent the ball from returning from the detour passage 552 g to the ball tank 552 side, and the game ball B on the detour passage 552 g side presses the game ball B in the ball tank 552. It is possible to prevent the game ball B from being clogged in the tank 552.

Further, as described above, the upper end edge of the left side wall 552d between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g is from the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m (passage surface 552h in which the game ball B rolls in the detour passage 552g). It is possible to prevent the game ball B from overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the detour passage 552 g without passing through the overflow surface portion 501 m. As a result, the inflow of the game ball B from the side (ball tank 552) to the detour passage 552 g can be prevented, so that the flow of the game ball B in the detour passage 552 g is rearward from the overflow surface portion 501 m on the front end side. The flow can be in a fixed direction toward the tank rail 553 on the end side, and the pressure of the game ball B guided from the detour passage 552 g to the tank rail 553 can be in a fixed direction. Therefore, in the tank rail 553, it is possible to prevent the game balls B from being pushed against each other and being bitten by the different directions of the pressure applied to the game balls B, and the game balls B are clogged. Can be prevented.

Further, since the bottom of the tank rail 553 is provided with the main guide portion 553a extending to the downstream end, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 reach the main guide portion 553a in a row in the left-right direction. Since the game balls B are arranged side by side, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 can be aligned, and the game balls B can be reliably guided to the payout device 580 on the downstream side. Further, since the tank rail 553 is provided with a wide bulging portion 553b in which a plurality of game balls B can be lined up in a portion where the upper side is open, the game released from the rear end of the detour passage 552 g The ball B can be reliably received, and the above-mentioned action and effect can be reliably achieved.

Further, the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 is extended from the upstream end to the portion where the upper side is closed, and the width direction is narrowed from the upstream end to the downstream side to match the width of the main guiding portion 553a. Since they are changed so as to match, as the plurality of game balls B move toward the downstream side in the bulge portion 553b, they can be aligned so as to be aligned with respect to the width direction. Further, since the portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is closed is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows decreases toward the downstream end, the upstream side (ball tank 552 side). By distributing a plurality of game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages in the height direction to the downstream side through a portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is closed, the number of stages in the height direction is reduced in a row. Can be aligned with. Therefore, the tank rail 553 can guide a plurality of game balls B to the downstream side (payout device 580 side) in a state of being aligned in a row.

Further, since the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g are provided, it is possible to store a certain number of game balls B in them, and the tank rail 553 is provided with a bulge portion 553 b. Therefore, since the volume inside the tank rail 553 can be increased, more game balls B can be stored together with the ball tank 552.

Further, an external terminal plate 558 provided with a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring is connected and a plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a on the opposite side of the ball tank 552 with the detour passage 552g and the discharge portion 551j in between. Since the terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558) is provided, the electric wire connection terminal 558a and the terminal cover 551k can be separated from the ball tank 552 to which the game ball B is supplied from the island facility. Therefore, even if the game ball B supplied from the island facility bounces or is vigorously supplied in the ball tank 552 or the overflow surface portion 501 m, it can be difficult to reach (contact) the electric wire connection terminal 558a or the like. , There is no problem such as short circuit or disconnection of the electric wiring due to the contact of the game ball B.

Further, since the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a are directed rearward and the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is higher than the overflow surface portion 501m, the game ball B supplied from the island facility to the ball tank 552 is the ball tank 552. Even if it bounces on the overflow surface portion 501 m, it can be made difficult to get on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and even if the game ball B gets on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, it can be made difficult to fall from the rear side. It is possible to easily avoid the occurrence of such a problem.

Further, the game ball B returned from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side (to the right in FIG. 104) of the ball tank 552 due to the inclination of the guide surface portion 552j. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B on the guide surface portion 552j from pressing the game ball B in the ball tank 552 in the downstream direction, and the game ball B is clogged in the ball tank 552. Can be prevented.

Further, the game ball B supplied from the island facility to the ball tank 552 bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m, and rides on the left stage portion 501n and the right stage portion 501o on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m. However, as shown in FIG. 104, the game ball B can be guided to the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g by their inclination, and the game ball B spills on the outside of the main body frame 4, causing a problem. Can be prevented.

Further, since the game ball B is configured to pass under the guide surface portion 552j when the game ball B is distributed from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553 side, the game balls stacked on the upper side of the tank rail 552 by the guide surface portion 552j The amount (height) of B can be regulated so as not to be higher than the lower surface of the guide surface portion 552j. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 (guide surface portion 552j) of the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552 g, it is possible to secure a space (vacant space) on which the game balls B can be stacked upward. , The game ball B guided by the detour passage 552 g can be reliably received.

Further, since the plurality of electric wire connection terminals 558a and the terminal cover 551k are arranged in front of the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed, even if the game ball B falls rearward from the terminal cover 551k, the game ball B can be dropped. The game ball B is not accepted by the tank rail 553, and it is possible to prevent the game ball B from affecting the game ball B in the tank rail 553 and causing a problem.

[5-8a. Starting port unit]
The start port unit 2100 of the table unit 2000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 118 to 120 and the like. FIG. 118 (a) is a perspective view of the start port unit and the side unit in the front unit as viewed from the front, and FIG. 118 (b) is a perspective view of the start port unit and the side unit in the front unit as viewed from the rear. ) Is a left side view of the starting port unit, and (d) is a left side view of the side unit. FIG. 119 is an explanatory view comparing the inclination of the front surface of the general winning opening and the inclination of the door member of the variable winning opening in the open state. FIG. 120 is an enlarged front view showing the parts of the start port unit and the side unit in the game board. The start port unit 2100 of the front unit 2000 is arranged in the game area 5a near the lower end portion in the center in the left-right direction and directly above the out port 2010, and is attached to the game panel 1100 from the front. The start port unit 2100 has a first start port 2002 that is always open upward with a width that allows only one game ball B to be accepted.

The starting port unit 2100 includes a front wall portion 2101 extending parallel to the surface of the game area 5a (game panel 1100), a peripheral wall portion 2102 extending rearward from the peripheral edge of the front wall portion 2101, and a peripheral wall portion 2102. It is provided with a flat plate-shaped flange portion 2103 extending outward from the middle in the front-rear direction, and is formed entirely of a transparent member. The front wall portion 2101 is formed in a shape in which the front view is a combination of a rectangular portion that is long to the left and right and a semi-circular portion having the lower side of the rectangular portion as a chord. The peripheral wall portion 2102 extends rearward from the peripheral edge excluding the upper side of the front wall portion 2101, and is formed in a gutter shape with an open upper portion. The bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 is inclined so that the rear end side is lowered, and the game ball B can be guided backward.

The start port unit 2100 is attached to the panel plate 1110 in a state where the flange portion 2103 extending in the left-right direction from the middle of the peripheral wall portion 2102 is in contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. The start port unit 2100 has a first start port 2002 capable of receiving the game ball B by the front wall portion 2101 and the peripheral wall portion 2102 protruding forward from the panel plate 1110 in a state of being attached to the panel plate 1110. Is forming.

By attaching the start port unit 2100 to the game panel 1100, the first start port 2002 protrudes forward from the front surface of the game panel 1100 and is opened upward, so that the stage 2513 of the center accessory 2500 is opened. It is located just below the center of. Therefore, when the game ball B is discharged downward from the central discharge portion 2513a of the stage 2513, it is received by the first starting port 2002 with an extremely high probability.

The start port unit 2100 guides the game ball B received in the first start port 2002 to the rear of the game panel 1100 by the inclination of the gutter-shaped peripheral wall portion 2102 in a state of being attached to the game panel 1100, and the back unit 3000. It can be delivered to the first delivery port 3061 of the back guidance unit 3050 in the above. The game ball B delivered to the first delivery port 3061 of the back guidance unit 3050 is detected by the first start port sensor 3052 and then discharged onto the lower substrate holder 1200.

Although not shown, a decorative sticker is attached to the front surface of the front wall portion 2101, which is more conspicuous than the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200. As a result, the player's attention can be directed to the first starting port 2002 rather than the general winning opening 2001, and the player can be encouraged to drive the game ball B aiming at the first starting port 2002. At the same time, by accepting the game ball B at the first starting port 2002, a special lottery result (first special lottery result) is drawn in which an advantageous game state occurs in which the player such as a "big hit" game is advantageous. Therefore, it is possible to raise the expectation for the special lottery result drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest.

In this starting port unit 2100, the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 that guides the game ball B rearward is inclined at a gentler angle (an angle close to horizontal) than the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200. Therefore, the moving speed (rolling speed) of the game ball B in the rear direction is relatively slow. Therefore, when the game ball B is received in the first starting port 2002, the accepted game ball B can be seen for a longer time than the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002, and at the same time, the joy (superiority complex) that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002 can be expressed in the general winning opening 2001. It can be tasted for a longer time than when it was accepted.

Further, in the state where the start port unit 2100 is assembled on the game board 5, as shown in FIG. 120, the back bottom middle effect unit 3300 of the back unit 3000 is located behind and is provided in the back bottom middle effect unit 3300. Light from LEDs such as the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back and the second decorative substrate 3329 in the lower back of the lower back middle decorative body unit 3320 is used for light emission decoration.

Further, although detailed illustration is omitted, the starting port unit 2100 may be provided with ribs straddling the front wall portion 2101 and the bottom portion of the peripheral wall portion 2102 at the first starting port 2002. The ribs are formed in a triangular shape (which may be partially rounded) in a side view, and the upper surface is inclined at the first front wall portion 2203 of the two general winning openings 2001 from the right side of the side unit 2200. The distance to the upper end of the first front wall portion 2203 is longer than the distance from the upper end to the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200 while inclining at substantially the same angle as the portion. (The position of the rib is lower than the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203). As a result, the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002 abuts on the rib and is guided backward, and the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 is in the first front wall portion 2203. It can be delayed from the timing at which it comes into contact with the inclined portion and is guided backward, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

[5-8b. Side unit]
The side unit 2200 in the table unit 2000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 118 to 120 and the like. The side unit 2200 of the front unit 2000 extends along the inner rail 1002 on the left side of the start port unit 2100 in the game area 5a, and is attached to the game panel 1100 from the front. The side unit 2200 includes three general winning openings 2001 that are open so that the game ball B can be accepted at all times. The three general winning openings 2001 of the side unit 2200 are arranged in an arc shape along the inner rail 1002. The two general winning openings 2001 on the right side are open upwards, and the general winning openings 2001 on the left side are open toward the upper left.

The side unit 2200 has a flat base plate and a second second that extends from the base plate in the shape of a gutter and is inclined so that the front end moves backward as it goes downward. One gutter, the first front wall that closes the front end side of each of the two first gutters, and a gutter-shaped extension from the base plate to the left of the two first gutters. It is provided with a second guide gutter and a second front wall portion that closes the front end side of the second guide gutter. The side unit 2200 is entirely made of a transparent member.

The first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 have a U-shaped cross section. In the first guide gutter 2202, the U-shaped open portion is directed upward, and in the second guide gutter 2204, the U-shaped open portion is directed upward. The front end of the first guide gutter 2202 extends vertically on the upper side with a portion at a height of about 3/4 from the bottom as a boundary, and near the base plate 2201 so that the lower side moves backward as it goes downward. It extends diagonally to. Therefore, the first front wall portion 2203 that closes the front end side of the first guide gutter 2202 has a shape in which the lower side is bent rearward at a height of about 3/4 from the bottom.

The front end side of the second guide gutter 2204 is vertical. Therefore, the second front wall portion 2205 that closes the front end side of the second guide gutter 2204 extends vertically in parallel with the base plate 2201.

The side unit 2200 is attached to the panel plate 1110 in a state where the base plate 2201 is in contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. Then, the game ball B can be accepted by the portion of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 that protrudes forward from the panel plate 1110, and the first front wall portion 2203 and the second front wall portion 2205. It forms a general winning opening 2001. Further, when the side unit 2200 is attached to the panel plate 1110, a portion of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 that protrudes rearward from the base plate 2201 penetrates the opening 1112 of the panel plate 1110. As a result, it protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the panel plate 1110. The bottom surfaces of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 are inclined so as to be lowered toward the rear, and the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 can be guided backward.

When the side unit 2200 is assembled on the game board 5, the three general winning openings 2001 project forward from the front surface of the game panel 1100. The side unit 2200 guides the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 to the rear of the game panel 1100, and the second delivery port 3062, the third delivery port 3063, and the third delivery port 3063 of the back guidance unit 3050 in the back unit 3000. It can be delivered to any of the fourth delivery ports 3064. The game ball B delivered to any of the second delivery port 3062, the third delivery port 3063, and the fourth delivery port 3064 of the back guidance unit 3050 is detected by the general winning port sensor 3051 and then lowered. It is discharged onto the board holder 1200.

Unlike the starting port unit 2100, the side unit 2200 does not have a decorative sticker attached to the first front wall portion 2203 or the second front wall portion 2205 forming the front surface of the general winning opening 2001. It is less noticeable than the first starting port 2002. Since the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001 in the side unit 2200 are inclined, the three-dimensional effect of the general winning openings 2001 can be emphasized, and even if a decorative sticker is not attached to the front surface. , It doesn't look bad.

When the side unit 2200 is assembled on the game board 5, as shown in FIG. 120, the back lower left effect unit 3200 of the back unit 3000 is located behind, and the back lower left decoration of the back lower left effect unit 3200. The light emitted from the LED of the substrate 3203 can be used for light emission decoration, and the lower back left rotation decoration body 3201 can be visually recognized in a good state. Further, since the side unit 2200 has a portion inclined to the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front end of each of the two general winning openings 2001, the back lower left of the back unit 3000 due to the portion. The light radiated forward from the lower left decorative substrate 3203 of the production unit 3200 can be reflected (or refracted) near the head of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1, and the pachinko machine 1 can be used. You can improve the appearance.

In this side unit 2200, since the bent and diagonally extending portion of the first front wall portion 2203 is inclined at a steeper angle than the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 of the starting port unit 2100, the side unit 2200 is relatively rearward. The moving speed (rolling speed) of the game ball B is increasing. The bottom surfaces of the first guide gutter 2202 and the second guide gutter 2204 are inclined at substantially the same angle as the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 in the starting port unit 2100. Therefore, when the game ball B is received in the general winning opening 2001, the received game ball B becomes invisible in a shorter time than the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002. As a result, it is possible to make the player surely recognize the acceptance of the game ball B into the general winning opening 2001, and to prevent the player's interest from being attracted to the general winning opening 2001 unnecessarily for a long time. Therefore, it is possible to easily direct the player's interest to other winning openings such as the next game ball B, the first starting opening 2002, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening 2006. It is possible to entertain the game in the game area 5a and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

In other words, since the bent and diagonally extending portion of the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200 is inclined at a steeper angle than the bottom surface of the peripheral wall portion 2102 of the starting port unit 2100, the general winning opening 2001 The rolling speed of the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002 can be made slower than the rolling speed of the game ball B received in. Therefore, when the game ball B is received in the first starting port 2002, the accepted game ball B can be seen for a longer time than the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002, and at the same time, the joy (superiority complex) that the game ball B has been accepted by the first starting port 2002 can be expressed in the general winning opening 2001. It can be tasted for a longer time than when it was accepted.

By the way, in the side unit 2200, since the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001 is inclined, the first front wall portion 2203 is viewed from the side of the first guide gutter 2202. The game ball B can pass in front of the inclined portion of the game ball B. When the game ball B passes in front of the first front wall portion 2203, the game ball B appears to overlap the general winning opening 2001 when viewed from the front, so that the game ball B is accepted by the general winning opening 2001 depending on the player. If the game ball B is not paid out, the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side may feel distrustful, which may reduce the interest in the game. On the other hand, in the side unit 2200 of the present embodiment, as described above, the inclined portion of the first front wall portion 2203 and the first guide gutter 2202 are accepted by the general winning opening 2001 and move backward. Since the guided game ball B can be visually recognized by the player for a short time, it is possible to recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001. Therefore, even if it is illusion that the game ball B that has passed in front of the first front wall portion 2203 has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, it can be immediately recognized as an illusion.

Further, in this side unit 2200, since a part of the game ball B can pass in front of the first front wall portion 2203, the game ball is in front of the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001. When B passes, if most of the game ball B (at least half or more of the game ball B) overlaps with the general winning opening 2001 in the front view, the game ball B becomes the general winning opening 2001 depending on the player. You can make the player feel as if they were accepted, and entertain the player. At this time, since a part of the game ball B does not overlap with the general winning opening 2001, it is not strongly recognized that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, and it may be considered as an illusion. Therefore, even if the benefits (payment of game ball B and lottery of the first special lottery result) are not given after that, it is possible to avoid feeling distrust toward the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side. It is possible to keep the player entertained and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, the side unit 2200 extends the front end of the leftmost (leftmost) general winning opening 2001 by the second front wall portion 2205 in parallel with the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110) among the three general winning openings 2001. The shape is similar to that of the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100. As a result, when the game ball B is received in the leftmost general winning opening 2001, it is possible for some players to have the illusion that the game ball B has been received in the starting opening. Then, even if the game ball B is accepted in the general winning opening 2001, which is an illusion that it is the starting opening, the special lottery result is not drawn, so the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side feel distrust. There is a risk that it will end up. However, the general winning opening 2001 is provided at the left end of the side unit 2200 (a position that cannot be accepted by "right-handed") away from the first starting port 2002 in the center in the left-right direction to the left, and the second Since there is no decorative sticker attached to the front of the front wall 2205 to indicate the starting port, it is possible to reconfirm that it is not the starting port, and the player feels distrust and enjoys the game. It is possible to avoid lowering it.

Further, since the side unit 2200 has the front ends of the two general winning openings 2001 inclined, the amount of material required for the side unit 2200 is compared with the case where the front ends thereof are parallel to the surface of the game panel 1100. In addition, since the decorative sticker is not attached to the front surface of the general winning opening 2001, the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

The angle of inclination from the horizontal on the first front wall portion 2203 of the side unit 2200 (general winning opening 2001) is not shown, but the variable winning openings such as the large winning opening and the accessory winning opening can be opened and closed. The winning opening door is larger than the horizontal inclination angle when the game ball B is rotated around the lower side so as to move forward so as to guide the game ball B to the winning opening side. It is an angle. More specifically, depending on the player, when the number of game balls B paid out by accepting the game ball B to the variable winning opening is larger than that of the general winning opening 2001, many of the game balls B to the variable winning opening are used. Will hope for a prize. Alternatively, even if the variable winning opening (large winning opening) has a specified number of winnings, the player will wish to win more than the specified number. Therefore, by making the inclination of the winning opening door of the variable winning opening gentler than that of the general winning opening 2001 (first front wall portion 2203), the speed of the game ball B rolling on the winning opening door is slow. Therefore, as described above, when the game ball B is accepted in the variable winning opening, the accepted game ball B can be seen for a longer time than the game ball B accepted in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted into the variable winning opening, and to give the general winning opening 2001 the joy (superiority complex) that the game ball B has been accepted into the variable winning opening. You can enjoy it for a longer time than when it was accepted. In addition, since the angle of the winning door in the open state is loose, it takes a long time for the winning door in the open state to close, so that the number of game balls B is more than the specified number for the player. Can make you feel like doing.

Further, in the two general winning openings 2001 on the right side of the side unit 2200, the portion extending diagonally downward from the lower end of the portion of the first front wall portion 2203 is more than the distance of the portion extending vertically downward from the upper end. The distance of is formed longer. As a result, since the winning opening is the general winning opening 2001, the game ball B is paid out, but the lottery such as the ordinary lottery or the special lottery is not performed. Therefore, the game ball B accepted in the general winning opening 2001 Can be hidden from the player's field of vision at an early stage.

Further, in the above embodiment, in the side unit 2200, among a plurality of general winning openings 2001, the front surface of a specific general winning opening 2001 is inclined, but the present invention is not limited to this, and all general winning openings 2001 are used. The front surface of the winning opening 2001 may be inclined. Further, in the present embodiment, the game ball B launched at the launch position (so-called "left-handed") in the normal gaming state can enter the general winning opening 2001 whose front surface is not tilted. The one provided at the position is shown, but it is not limited to this, and the general winning opening 2001 whose front is not tilted is in an advantageous gaming state (during "time saving", "probability change", or "big hit"). The game ball B launched at the launch position (so-called "right-handed") may be provided at a position where the ball can enter, or may be provided at both.

Further, as shown in FIG. 119, the inclination angle of the general winning opening 2001 having an inclination on the front surface is larger than the opening angle when the variable winning opening (for example, the large winning opening) is opened from the time when it is closed. It has a narrow angle. If the number of game balls B paid out when winning a prize in the large prize opening is larger than that in the general winning opening 2001, the player will win more than the specified number even in the large winning opening where the specified number of winnings is set. I hope. Therefore, it is said that the speed at which the game ball B that has won the big prize opening rolls to the back side is slower than the speed at which the game ball B that has won the general winning opening 2001 with the front tilted rolls to the back side. There is. In other words, when the general winning opening 2001, which is smaller than the number paid out when winning the large winning opening, is won, the speed at which the game ball B winning the large winning opening rolls to the back side is said to be faster. ing. In other words, it can be said that the more payouts are made, the slower the time it takes to disappear from the player's field of view. As a result, the more payouts are made, the longer the time of joy when winning can be provided.

[5-8c. Side upper left unit]

The game ball B that has circulated on the left side of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a passes through the gate portion 2003 and is accepted into the second starting port 2004, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening 2006. There is no possibility of being killed.

In the game board 5 of the present embodiment, the game ball B driven to the left side of the center accessory 2500 has a probability of being accepted by the second starting port 2004 with respect to the probability that the game ball B driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 is accepted. The probability of being accepted by the first starting port 2002 is set higher. As a result, when the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 is not in the open state, the operation of driving the game ball B to the left side of the center accessory 2500 (“left-handed”) can be promoted.

In the game board 5 of the present embodiment, the game ball B is placed with the strength that the game ball B enters above the portion of the peripheral wall portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500 that becomes lower from the vicinity of the center in the left-right direction toward the right. When driven, the game ball B circulates in either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 of the guide passage group 2520.

More specifically, the game ball B is driven with a strength that abuts on the abutting portion 1006 protruding inward from the outer rail 1001 forming a part of the peripheral edge of the game area 5a (so-called right-handed striking). Then, the game ball B in contact with the abutment portion 1006 enters the first guide passage 2521. The game ball B that has entered the first guide passage 2521 is discharged downward at a position slightly to the right of the gate portion 2003 directly above.

The game ball B discharged downward from the exit of the first guide passage 2521 is located on the left side of the gate member 2800 and at the gate portion by a plurality of obstacle nails N planted between the guide passage group 2520 and the gate member 2800. In 2003, the right side of the gate member 2800 is guided so that the probability becomes lower, and the side right middle unit 2700 side flows down.

On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upper right side of the center accessory 2500 enters the entrance of the second guide passage 2522 and circulates through the second guide passage 2522, it is on the left side of the exit of the first guide passage 2521.

At this time, if the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and a "small hit" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery or the second special lottery, the second big prize is won. Since the mouth 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that has flowed down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is highly likely to be accepted by the second big winning mouth 2006.

The game ball B received in the second prize opening 2006 is detected by the second prize opening sensor 2601 and guided to the rear of the game panel 1100 outside the game area 5a, and then in the back unit 3000. It is delivered to the seventh delivery port 3067 of the back induction unit 3050 and discharged onto the substrate holder 1200. By detecting the game ball B by the second large winning opening sensor 2601, a privilege that a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out is given.

The game ball B, which was not accepted by the second prize opening 2006 and flowed down to the left of the second prize opening 2006, entered the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 and exited the lower right guide passage 2530. Is discharged to the first attacker unit 2400 side.

The game ball B released downward (diagonally lower left) from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 flows down onto the first shelf 2412a of the first attacker unit 2400. Since a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted between the lower right guide passage 2530 and the first attacker unit 2400, the game ball B is directly connected to the first attacker unit 2400 from the lower right guide passage 2530. It does not flow down to the right side of the first standing wall portion 2412e.

The game ball B that has flowed down to the first shelf 2412a of the first attacker unit 2400 rolls to the left due to its inclination, and moves the upper surface of the door 2414a of the second starting door 2414 and the second shelf 2412b. After rolling, it is discharged from the left end of the second shelf portion 2412b to the left. Then, the game ball B released to the left from the second shelf 2412b falls on the third shelf 2412c or the door 2417a of the first winning opening door 2417 according to the momentum, and their inclinations. After rolling to the left from the door portion 2417a and rolling the fourth shelf portion 2412d, it is discharged from the fourth shelf portion 2412d to the left outside the first attacker unit 2400.

Depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, by contacting the plurality of obstacle nails N, the ball does not flow down to the first shelf 2412a but to the upper shelf 2412p. It may flow down. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper shelf 2412p rolls to the left due to its inclination, is released from the left end of the upper shelf 2412p to the left, and then hits the obstacle nail N planted on the left. After abutting and turning downward and flowing down near the left end of the upper surface of the door portion 2417a in the first prize opening door 2417, the door portion 2417a and the fourth shelf portion 2412d are rolled to the left and the first It is released to the outside of the attacker unit 2400. Therefore, even when the game ball B rolls on the upper shelf portion 2412p, the first major prize depending on the timing when the game ball B is released from the upper shelf portion 2412p and the timing when the first prize opening 2005 is opened. It may be accepted in the winning opening 2005.

In addition, depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, the first shelf portion 2412a bounces to the right due to contact with the obstacle nail N or the right end of the upper shelf portion 2412p. By flowing down, the first shelf portion 2412a may be rolled to the right against the inclination and discharged from the right end of the first shelf portion 2412a to the right (downward). The game ball B discharged from the right end of the first shelf portion 2412a to the right passes between the first standing wall portion 2412e and the right rail 1005 of the front component 1000, and flows down to the vicinity of the right end of the second lateral wall portion 2412 m. Then, due to the inclination of the second lateral wall portion 2412 m, it rolls to the left and is received by the first sub-out port 2011. The game ball B received in the first sub-out port 2011 is detected by the first sub-out port sensor 2403, and is not returned to the game area 5a, but is not returned to the game area 5a, and the fifth delivery port 3065 of the back guidance unit 3050 in the back unit 3000. It is delivered to the back guide unit 3050 and discharged onto the substrate holder 1200 below.

When the game ball B is released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, if the "normal hit" is drawn as a result of the normal lottery due to the passage of the game ball B at the gate portion 2003, the second start Since the mouth door 2414 is movable and the second starting port 2004 is opened in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that is rolling the first shelf portion 2412a to the left is accepted by the second starting port 2004. there is a possibility. Then, when the game ball B is received by the second start port 2004, it is detected by the second start port sensor 2401 and then discharged onto the board holder 1200 outside the game area 5a.

The back guidance unit 3050 includes an out ball detection member 3080 that detects the game ball B received in the out port 2010. The out-ball detection member 3080 is driven into the game area 5a and is accepted by the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening 2006. To detect the game ball B received in the out opening 2010 opened at the lower end of the game area 5a among the game balls B that did not exist (the game ball B for which the privilege was not given, also referred to as "out ball"). belongs to.

The out-ball detection member 3080 is inserted into the out recess 1123 of the panel holder 1120 in the game panel 1100 from the rear, and the tubular portion 3081 and the tubular portion 3081 that extend the game ball B in a tubular shape in the front-rear direction so as to be able to flow. A partition portion 3082 that divides the inside into left and right, a flange portion 3083 that protrudes in a flat plate shape in the left-right direction from the outer circumference of the rear end of the cylinder portion 3081, and a game ball B that is continuous with the rear end of the cylinder portion 3081 and moves downward. It is provided with a rear cover 3084 that can be guided to and discharged (see FIG. 114). The out-ball detection member 3080 is provided with an out-port sensor 3053 between the tubular portion 3081 and the rear cover 3084.

The tubular portion 3081 has substantially the same size as the out port 2010, and has a width in the left-right direction in which two game balls B are sufficiently lined up (a width in which three game balls B are not lined up), and the lower inner surface is It is inclined so that it becomes lower toward the rear side. The partition portion 3082 is provided near the rear end of the tubular portion 3081, and is partitioned so as to allow one game ball B to pass on both the left and right sides. The front end side of the partition portion 3082 is curved so as to project forward as it goes downward, and is shorter than the diameter of the game ball B and projects forward.

In the out ball detection member 3080, two out port sensors 3053 are provided side by side. The left out port sensor 3053 detects the game ball B circulating on the left side of the partition portion 3082 in the tubular portion 3081, and the right out port sensor 3053 detects the right side of the partition portion 3082 in the tubular portion 3081. It detects the distributed game ball B. The outlet sensor 3053 is a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch.

The two out-port sensors 3053 are provided so that the detection direction of the game ball B (the axial direction of the detection hole through which the game ball B passes) is parallel to the inner surface on the lower side of the tubular portion 3081. As a result, the distribution direction of the game ball B circulating in the tubular portion 3081 does not change even at the portion of the out port sensor 3053, so that the out port sensor 3053 can smoothly detect the game ball B, and the game ball B can be detected smoothly.

Therefore, in each of the left and right out port sensors 3053, it is determined whether the player tends to "left-handed" or "right-handed" based on the number of game balls B detected per hour. Based on the discrimination, it is possible to promote the optimum driving operation for the game situation and enjoy the intended game.

Further, in the out-ball detection member 3080, the protrusion of the partition portion 3082 to the front is shortened so that the game ball B can easily get over the partition. Therefore, when a large number of game balls B enter the out-port 2010 per hour, the partition is made. The game ball B can be released to the left side or the right side where the distribution amount of the game ball B is relatively small in the part 3082, and the game ball B can be discharged at the out port 2010 without delay.

Further, since the lower end of the rear cover 3084 is projected downward from the discharge portion 1201 of the board holder 1200, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first large winning opening 2005, The game ball B received by the second big winning opening 2006, the first sub-out opening 2011, and the second sub-out opening 2012 and discharged onto the board holder 1200 flows back by the out-ball detection member 3080 and by the out-port sensor 3053. It is possible to prevent the detection from being detected, and it is possible to accurately detect only the "out ball" received in the out port 2010.

In the present embodiment, the out-ball detecting member 3080 is provided on the back unit 3000, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the out-ball detecting member 3080 may be attached to the game panel 1100. At this time, if the game panel 1100 has an out recess 1123, the out ball detection member 3080 can be attached, so that the game panel 1100 can correspond to the existing game panel 1100 having the out recess 1123. At the same time, it can be retrofitted to the existing game board 5.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the player is driven into the game area 5a and has a general winning opening 2001, a first starting opening 2002, a second starting opening 2004, a first large winning opening 2005, and a second large winning opening 2006. Since the game ball B (“out ball”) that is not accepted by any of them can be detected by the out port sensor 3053, the first sub out port sensor 2403, and the second sub out port sensor 3054, for example, a specific winning prize If the acceptance of the game ball B into the mouth is continuously detected, but the "out ball" is not detected, it means that a cheating is being performed on a specific winning opening. It is possible to notify that cheating is being carried out.

In addition, since the number can be counted by detecting the "out ball", the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the first major winning opening 2005, and the second major winning opening The number of "winning balls" and the number of "out balls" counted by the detection of the game ball B received in 2006, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting port 2002, the second starting port 2004, the first large From the number of "safe balls" paid out by accepting the game ball B into the winning opening 2005 and the second major winning opening 2006, the "ball ejection rate" in the pachinko machine 1 can be known. Although not shown, a display unit for displaying the "ball output rate" is provided on the rear side of the game board 5.

Further, in the game board 5, all the game balls B (“global”) driven into the game area 5a are detected, and all the game balls B (“global”) discharged from the game area 5a are detected. ) Is detected, since only the "out ball" is detected by the out port sensor 3053, the first sub out port sensor 2403, and the second sub out port sensor 3054, the "out ball" and the "winning ball" are detected. By comparing the numbers of "" and "global", the occurrence of ball clogging in the game board 5 can be detected.

The link member 3133 has a front view shape formed into a triangle in which each apex is R-chamfered. The link member 3133 is rotatably attached to the unit base 3121 near one apex around an axis in the front-rear direction. The link member 3133 has a long-hole first slit 3133a extending in the direction of the rotation axis near the left apex from the rotation axis and a long-hole shape extending in the direction of the rotation axis near the apex above the rotation axis. It has a second slit 3133b and. In the link member 3133, the protrusion pin 3131c of the transmission slider 3131 is slidably inserted into the first slit 3133a, and the transmission pin 3134a of the lock member 3134 is slidably inserted into the second slit 3133b.

The lock member 3134 is slidably attached in the left-right direction by the front left cover 3137 between the unit base 3121 and the front left cover 3137.
The lock member 3134 projects rearward in a columnar shape, forms a flat upper end surface with a transmission pin 3134a slidably inserted into the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133, and laterally. The lower surface of the locking projection 3116b of the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110 is extended and inclined so as to move to the left with the contact surface 3134b that can be contacted and from the right end of the contact surface 3134b downward. It has a guide surface 3134c to which the locking projection 3116b can come into contact with.

The front right cover 3138 cooperates with the unit base 3121 to slidably support the right slider 3117 of the back / rear movable decorative body 3110 in the vertical direction.

Subsequently, the operation of the back-and-forth effect unit 3100 will be described. In the normal state of the back-rear effect unit 3100, as shown in FIG. 140 (FIG. 141 (a)), the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is in a retracted position in which the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is moved upward, and the slide guide 3130. Is located near the upper end of the spiral shaft 3123, and the lock member 3134 moves to the right and is located at the lock position. In this state, the lower surface of the movable protrusion 3116a of the left slider 3116 of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 is in contact with the upper end surface of the slide guide 3130, and the back-rear movable decoration body is in contact with the contact surface 3134b of the lock member 3134. The lower surface of the locking projection 3116b of the 3110 is in contact.

In the normal state, the transmission slider 3131 is located at the upward moving end due to the urging force of the spring 3132. The protrusion pin 3131c of the transmission slider 3131 is inserted into the first slit 3133a of the link member 3133, and the transmission pin 3134a of the lock member 3134 is inserted into the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133. The urging force of the 3132 is such that the link member 3133 acts in the clockwise direction about the rotation axis and the lock member 3134 is urged in the direction of sliding to the right. Therefore, the lock member 3134 is maintained in the locked position by the urging force of the spring 3132.

In this state, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is restricted from moving downward by the slide guide 3130 and the lock member 3134. Therefore, even if either the slide guide 3130 or the lock member 3134 moves from the position for some reason (fault), the rest may prevent the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 from moving (falling) downward. it can.

Further, in a normal state, the first slit 3133a of the link member 3133 is located above the rotation axis of the link member 3133, and the second slit 3133b into which the transmission pin 3134a of the lock member 3134 is inserted rotates. It is located to the right of the axis. Further, the back-rear upper detection sensor 3135 detects the detection piece 3116c of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, and the back-rear lower detection sensor 3136 does not detect the detection piece 3130a of the slide guide 3130.

The back-up effect unit 3100 is located behind the back-up effect unit 3400 in the normal state of the evacuation position, and is invisible from the front (player side).

In this normal state, when the spiral shaft 3123 is rotated in a predetermined direction (here, in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view) by the back-rear drive motor 3126, the slide guide 3130 screwed to the spiral shaft 3123 is lowered. Move to. Even if the slide guide 3130 moves downward, the lock projection 3116b of the back-rear movable decoration 3110 is in contact with the lock member 3134, so that the back-rear movable decoration 3110 cannot move downward from the retracted position. Instead, only the slide guide 3130 moves downward away from the movable protrusion 3116a of the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110.

Then, when the slide guide 3130 moves downward due to the rotation of the spiral shaft 3123 and the detection piece 3130a is detected by the back rear lower detection sensor 3136, the lower surface of the slide guide 3130 is the lower protrusion 3131a of the transmission slider 3131. It abuts on the upper end surface (see FIG. 141 (b)). When the slide guide 3130 further moves downward while the back rear lower detection sensor 3136 detects the detection piece 3130a of the slide guide 3130, the slide guide 3130 presses the lower protrusion 3131a of the transmission slider 3131 downward. The transmission slider 3131 moves downward together with the slide guide 3130 against the urging force of the spring 3132.

When the transmission slider 3131 moves downward, the first slit 3133a of the link member 3133 into which the protrusion pin 3131c of the transmission slider 3131 is inserted is pressed downward, and the link member 3133 counterclockwise around its rotation axis. It will rotate in the clockwise direction. Then, as the link member 3133 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133 moves to the left, and the second slit 3133b of the link member 3133 moves to the left via the transmission pin 3134a inserted in the second slit 3133b. The lock member 3134 will move to the left (see FIG. 141 (c)).

When the lock member 3134 moves to the left of the locking protrusion 3116b of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110, the lock (downward restriction) by the lock member 3134 is released, and the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 falls. At this time, the detection piece 3130a of the slide guide 3130 moving downward is not detected by the back rear lower detection sensor 3136, and the rotation of the back rear drive motor 3126 is stopped.

Then, the dropped back-rear movable decorative body 3110 comes into contact with the shock absorbing member 3121a of the unit base 3121, so that the falling is stopped and the state of the appearance position is reached (see FIG. 141 (c)). In this state of appearance, the slide guide 3130 is located below the lower end of the left slider 3116 of the back-rear movable decoration 3110, and the back-rear movable decoration 3110 does not come into contact with the slide guide 3110.

In the back rear movable decorative unit 3100, the back rear movable decorative body 3110 can be visually recognized from the front (player side) in the state of the appearance position where the back rear movable decorative body 3110 has fallen. In this state, by appropriately emitting light from a plurality of LEDs mounted on the back-rear decorative substrate 3114, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 (decorative body 3111) can be light-emitting and decorated. The light emitting decoration can entertain the player.

When returning the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 from the appearance position of the lower moving end to the retracted position in the normal state, the back-rear drive motor 3126 causes the spiral shaft 3123 to move in the opposite direction (here, clockwise in a plan view). Rotate in the direction) to move the slide guide 3130 upward. When the slide guide 3130 moves upward, the transmission slider 3131 slides upward together with the slide guide 3130 due to the urging force of the spring 3132. Then, when the transmission slider 3131 moves upward, the link member 3133 rotates in the clockwise direction and the lock member 3134 moves to the right and stops at the lock position, contrary to the above. Become.

Further, as the slide guide 3130 moves upward, the upper end surface of the lower protrusion 3131a comes into contact with the lower surface of the movable protrusion 3116a of the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110, and the slide guide 3130 moves the movable protrusion 3116a upward. By pressing against, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 moves upward (see FIG. 141 (d)).

Then, when the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is moved upward by the slide guide 3130 to the vicinity of the retracted position, the locking projection 3116b comes into contact with the guide surface 3134c of the locking member 3134 from below. When the locking projection 3116b abuts on the guide surface 3134c from below and the locking projection 3116b presses the guide surface 3134c upward, the inclination of the guide surface 3134c causes the locking member 3134 to move to the left. It acts, and the lock member 3134 slides to the right against the urging force of the spring 3132 that tends to move to the right via the transmission slider 3131 and the link member 3133.

When the locking projection 3116b is located above the upper end of the guide surface 3134c of the lock member 3134 due to the upward movement of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, the upward pressure of the locking projection 3116b on the guide surface 3134c is eliminated. The lock member 3134 slides to the right by the urging force of the spring 3132 and is in the locked position. As a result, the right end side of the contact surface 3134b of the lock member 3134 is located below the locking projection 3116b of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110, and the lock member 3134 moves the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 downward. Can be regulated.

At this time, the detection piece 3116c of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is detected by the back-rear upper detection sensor 3135, and the rotation of the back-rear drive motor 3126 is stopped. In this way, the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110 can return from the appearance position to the state of the retracted position which is the normal state.

According to the back-rear effect unit 3100 of the present embodiment, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 extending to the left and right is dropped from the state of the retracted position which is invisible from the player side to the state of the appearance position which becomes visible. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player and strongly attract the interest of the player.

Further, since the lock member 3134 that locks (regulates) the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 in the retracted position is moved to the left to release the lock, it rotates around the axis in the front-back direction. Compared with the case where the lock is released by moving the lock, the rear movable decorative body 3110 can be dropped without moving upward when the lock is released.

The 3356 can be rotated. Then, the elevating arm 3357 can be rotated by the drive pin 3356b that revolves by the rotation of the elevating cam gear 3356 through the first slit 3357a into which the drive pin 3356b is slidably inserted. The lower back middle decorative body unit 3320 can be moved up and down together with the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 via the elevating pin 3332a of the movable base 3332 slidably inserted into the two slits 3357b.

Next, the movements of the under-back middle rotating decorative body 3310 and the under-back middle decorative body unit 3320 in the under-back middle effect unit 3300 will be described in detail. In a normal state, the under-back middle effect unit 3300 is in a state of a descending position in which the under-back middle decoration unit 3320 is moved most downward. In this normal state, the elevating arm 3357 in the under-back middle elevating mechanism 3350 is located at the tip end side below the base end side, and the tip detection piece 3357c moves up and down under the back-bottom middle of the back-bottom middle relay board 3358. It is detected by the detection sensor 3358a (see FIG. 167 (a)).

In this normal state, the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 is located below the center of revolution and near the end of the elevating arm 3357 in the first slit 3357a on the proximal end side. .. More specifically, the normal line passing through the contact point of the drive pin 3356b with the first slit 3357a extends so as to pass through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3356. As a result, even if an urging force for rotating the elevating arm 3357 in the clockwise direction is applied by the spring 3362, the force line of the urging force is in contact with the first slit 3357a. Since the elevating cam gear 3356 passes through the center of rotation of the elevating cam gear 3356, the elevating cam gear 3356 does not rotate. Therefore, since the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 does not revolve, the elevating arm 3357 does not rotate, the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 does not move from the lowering position by the urging force of the spring 3362, and the spring. The urging force of 3362 does not act on the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352 via the elevating arm 3357 and the like.

In a normal state, the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 may be brought into contact with the end portion of the first slit 3357a on the proximal end side. As a result, when the elevating arm 3357 tries to rotate in the clockwise direction due to the urging force of the spring 3362, the elevating cam gear 3356 moves in the counterclockwise direction due to the force acting from the first slit 3357a via the drive pin 3356b. Try to rotate. At this time, the drive pin 3356b tries to revolve so as to move toward the base end side of the elevating arm 3357, but the drive pin 3356b is in contact with the end end side of the first slit 3357a. , The drive pin 3356b cannot revolve, and the rotation of the elevating arm 3357 is locked so that the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 can be prevented from moving upward.

In the normal state of the under-back middle effect unit 3300, among the plurality of number decorations in the under-back middle rotating decoration 3310, the number decoration located at the uppermost side is inside the frame of the center accessory 2500. It is located and can be clearly seen from the front (player side) (see FIG. 111 and the like). Further, in a normal state, the numerical decoration located at the lowermost position is located behind the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, and is located behind the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back and in the lower middle. (Ii) By emitting light from the LED of the decorative substrate 3329, in addition to the light emitting decoration of the lower back middle rotating decoration, the first starting port 2002 formed of the transparent member can also be made to emit light (see FIG. 120 and the like). ).

In this normal state, when the drive gear 3353 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the front view by the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352, the first transmission gear 3354, the second transmission gear 3355, and the gear portion 3356a are used. As a result, the elevating cam gear 3356 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 revolves in the clockwise direction. When the drive pin 3356b revolves, the inner surface of the first slit 3357a in contact with the drive pin 3356b is pressed upward, the drive pin 3356b slides in the first slit 3357a toward the tip side, and the elevating arm. It rotates in the clockwise direction around the base end side so that the tip end side of the 3357 moves upward.

By rotating the elevating arm 3357 in the clockwise direction, the elevating pin 3332a of the movable base 3332 inserted in the second slit 3357b on the tip end side of the elevating arm 3357 is moved upward by the inner surface of the second slit 3357b. The decorative body unit 3320 under the back is moved upward via the elevating pin 3332a. Then, when the drive pin 3356b moves upward from the center of revolution, the drive pin 3356b slides in the first slit 3357a toward the proximal end side. At this time, in the elevating arm 3357, since the spring 3362 acts on the urging force in the clockwise direction, the urging force assists the upward movement of the decorative body unit 3320 in the lower back, and the lower back middle. The load applied to the elevating drive motor 3352 is reduced.

When the drive pin 3356b revolves further in the clockwise direction and reaches the vicinity of the end portion of the first slit 3357a on the base end side, the rotation of the drive gear 3353 by the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352 is stopped and at the same time the drive The revolution of pin 3356b stops. As a result, the movement of the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 by the elevating arm 3357 is stopped, and the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 is in the state of the ascending position moved most upward.

In the state where the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 is in the raised position, the normal line passing through the contact point with the first slit 3357a in the drive pin 3356b extends so as to pass through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3356. As a result, even if a force for rotating the elevating arm 3357 in the counterclockwise direction is applied by the weight of the lower back middle decoration unit 3320, the force line of the force hits the first slit 3357a. Since the elevating cam gear 3356 passes through the rotation center of the elevating cam gear 3356 via the contacting drive pin 3356b, the elevating cam gear 3356 does not rotate. Therefore, since the drive pin 3356b of the elevating cam gear 3356 does not revolve, the elevating arm 3357 does not rotate, the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 does not move downward from the ascending position, and the lower back middle decoration unit. The weight of the unit 3320 does not act on the lower back middle elevating drive motor 3352 via the elevating arm 3357 and the like.

In the state where the lower back middle decorative unit 3320 is in the raised position, the elevating cam gear 3356 may be further revolved so that the drive pin 3356b is brought into contact with the end portion on the base end side of the first slit 3357a. As a result, when the elevating arm 3357 tries to rotate in the counterclockwise direction due to the weight of the decorative body unit 3320 under the back, the elevating cam gear 3356 is clocked by the force acting from the first slit 3357a via the drive pin 3356b. Try to rotate in the clockwise direction. At this time, the drive pin 3356b tries to revolve so as to move toward the base end side of the elevating arm 3357, but the drive pin 3356b is in contact with the end end side of the first slit 3357a. , The drive pin 3356b cannot revolve, and the rotation of the elevating arm 3357 is locked, so that the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 can be prevented from moving downward.

In the state where the lower middle decorative body unit 3320 is moved to the ascending position, most of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is located within the frame of the center accessory 2500 (furthermore, a game ball that rolls in the game area 5a). B is located above the bounce prevention member (stage cover 2515) provided on the center accessory 2500 that prevents B from bouncing from the outside to the inside of the center frame (peripheral wall portion 2501), and is forward (player). All numerical decorations can be seen well from the side) (see FIG. 201).

When returning the lower back middle decorative unit 3320 from the raised position to the lower position, when the drive gear 3353 is rotated in the opposite direction to the above by the lower back middle lifting drive motor 3352, the lifting arm 3357 Rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the lower back middle decoration unit 3320 moves downward from the ascending position. Then, when the detection piece 3357c at the tip of the elevating arm 3357 is detected by the back lower middle elevating detection sensor 3358a of the back lower middle relay board 3358, the rotation of the drive gear 3353 is stopped by the back lower middle elevating drive motor 3352. , The center that prevents the gaming ball B that rolls in the lower middle decorative unit 3320 in the normal state (furthermore, the gaming ball B that rolls in the gaming area 5a) from the outside to the inside of the center frame (peripheral wall portion 2501). The bounce prevention member (stage cover 2515) provided on the accessory 2500 can be returned to the position where it overlaps when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 1.

The under-back middle effect unit 3300 of the present embodiment rotates the drive gear 3334 by the under-back middle rotation drive motor 3333 in the under-back middle decoration unit 3320, thereby rotating the under-back middle rotation decoration unit 3310 via the rotation gear 3327. Can be rotated around an axis in the front-back direction. By rotating the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310, the six number decorations provided on the front surface rotate like a roulette wheel. The lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 can be rotated by the lower back middle rotation drive motor 3333 at any position such as a lowering position or an ascending position of the lower back middle decoration unit 3320.

In the under-back middle effect unit 3300 of the present embodiment, under a normal state, one of a plurality of (here, 6) numerical decorations in the under-back middle rotating decoration body 3310 is located directly above the rotation center (stop position). doing. For example, as shown in FIG. 168 (a), in a state where the number decoration of "1" in the lower back middle rotating decoration body 3310 is located at the top, the area detection piece 3325 of the rotation base 3324 is specified as the first area. The sensors 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are detected by the three region identification sensors 3330, and a plurality of (here, 6) position detection pieces 3326 are detected by the position identification sensor 3331. Is not detected.

Here, first, the relationship between the three area identification sensors 3330 and the six stop positions of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 will be described. In the state where the number decoration of "1" is set to the stop position, as described above, the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are the region detection piece 3325 of the rotation base 3324. Is detected. That is, as shown in FIG. 168 (b), when the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are detected, the numerical decoration of "1" is centered on the stop position. It is located within the range of ± 30 degrees.

When the first region identification sensor 3330a and the second region identification sensor 3330b detect and the third region identification sensor 3330c does not detect, the numerical decoration of "2" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a detects and the second region identification sensor 3330b and the third region identification sensor 3330c do not detect, the numerical decoration of "3" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c are not detected, the numerical decoration of "4" is in the range of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located inside.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a and the second region identification sensor 3330b are not detected and the third region identification sensor 3330c is detected, the numerical decoration of "5" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

Further, when the first region identification sensor 3330a is not detected and the second region identification sensor 3330b and the third region identification sensor 3330c are detected, the numerical decoration of "6" is in the region of ± 30 degrees centered on the stop position. Located within range.

In this way, by combining the detection / non-detection of the three area identification sensors 3330 of the first area identification sensor 3330a, the second area identification sensor 3330b, and the third area identification sensor 3330c, any numerical decoration can determine the stop position. It is possible to know (detect) whether or not it is located in the including stop area.

Since the under-back middle rotation drive motor 3333 of the present embodiment is a stepping motor, when the area identification sensor 3330 detects the area detection piece 3325 and then rotates 30 degrees, the under-back middle rotation drive is driven. By stopping the rotation of the motor 3333, it is possible to stop the desired numerical decoration of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 at the stop position. However, in the case of performing such control, it is necessary to recognize the origin for stopping at the stop position while specifying the area of the stop position by the three area identification sensors 3330. There is a problem that the control for stopping the rotation of the 3310 becomes complicated and the load becomes high. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of position detection pieces 3326 for specifying the stop position and a position identification sensor 3331 for detecting the position detection piece 3326 are provided, and the origin is recognized by the position identification sensor 3331. Therefore, the complication of the control for stopping the rotation of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 is suppressed, and the load is reduced.

More specifically, when the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 wants to stop the desired numerical decoration at the stop position, the lower middle rotating decoration 3310 rotates and the three area identification sensors 3330 stop at the desired stop. When the combination satisfies the position, the position identification sensor 3331 is displaced in the rotation direction at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the first region identification sensor 3330a, so that the position identification sensor 3331 detects the center of the position detection piece 3326. ing. In this state, the desired number is separated from the stop position by a rotation angle of 30 degrees.

In this state, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates α / 2 degrees (here, 11.67 degrees), which is the length of the position detection piece 3326, and further rotates, the position detection piece 3326 separates from the position identification sensor 3331. Therefore, the position identification sensor 3331 is not detected. The origin is the angle at which the position identification sensor 3331 is not detected. Then, when it is rotated by β degrees (here, 18.33 degrees) from there (from the origin), the rotation of the under-back middle rotation decoration body 3310 by the under-back middle rotation drive motor 3333 is stopped to obtain a desired number. The decoration can be stopped exactly at the stop position.

In the above description, the rotation stop of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 has been described by an angle, but the rotation may be stopped by the rotation step of the lower back middle rotation drive motor 3333 made of a stepping motor. For example, when one rotation is 396 steps, the position detection piece 3326 is rotated 13 steps further when the back lower middle rotation decoration 3310 is in a combination in which the three area identification sensors 3330 satisfy the desired stop positions. Apart from the position identification sensor 3331, the position identification sensor 3331 is not detected. When the position identification sensor 3331 rotates 20 steps from the non-detected angle, the rotation of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 by the lower back middle rotation drive motor 3333 is stopped to stop the desired number decoration. It can be stopped exactly at the position.

Next, the light emitting decoration in the underside middle effect unit 3300 will be described. As shown in FIG. 169, the back lower middle effect unit 3300 has a back lower middle decorative body unit 3320 equipped with a plurality of LEDs for light emitting and decorating the back lower middle rotating decorative body 3310. It includes a decorative substrate 3322 and a second decorative substrate 3329 in the lower back. The plurality of LEDs of the lower middle first decorative substrate 3322 are located behind the six numerical decorations in the lower middle rotating decoration 3310, and each of the numerical decorations can be independently luminescently decorated.

On the other hand, the plurality of LEDs of the lower back middle second decorative substrate 3329 are located behind the portion outside the plurality of numerical decorations in the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310, and are outside the back lower middle rotating decoration 3310. The periphery can be luminescently decorated.

As described above, the lower back middle effect unit 3300 can detect the rotation position of the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 to some extent by the three area identification sensors 3330, and therefore, based on the detection of the area identification sensor 3330. By appropriately emitting light from a plurality of LEDs of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back, the rotation is performed in a state where only a specific number decoration is light-emitting and a state in which each number decoration is light-emitting and decorated in a different color. It is possible to show the player a production that strongly attracts the player's attention.

Further, in the state where the lower back middle decorative body unit 3320 is in the lowered position, the numerical decoration on the lower side of the lower back middle decorative body 3310 is located behind the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100. The first starting port 2002 can be light-emitting and decorated by causing the LED of the portion of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back to emit light. As a result, the player's attention can be directed to the first starting port 2002. Further, when the game ball B wins a prize in the first starting port 2002, the LED of the first decorative substrate 3322 in the lower back is emitted (or, one emission mode is determined from a plurality of light emitting modes and the light is emitted. ) May be made.

As described above, according to the under-back middle effect unit 3300 of the present embodiment, the rotating under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310 having six stop positions can detect a region having a length spanning three stop positions.

Since the sensor 3331 and the sensor 3331 are provided, when the back lower middle rotating decoration 3310 rotates, the three area identification sensors 3330 that detect the area detection piece 3325 increase in order from one side in the rotation direction and then decrease. This is repeated, and even until the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back is rotated to the next stop position, all the area identification sensors 3330 are not temporarily undetected, and the area detection piece 3325 is detected. The current rotation position of the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 can be roughly grasped by the combination of the area identification sensors 3330.

Since the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 is provided with six position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to the respective stop positions, the lower back middle rotation is performed by detecting the area detection pieces 3325 by the three area identification sensors 3330. After roughly detecting the rotation of the decorative body 3310 to an arbitrary stop position, the stop position can be accurately detected by detecting the position detection piece 3326 by one position identification sensor 3331, and the deviation of the stop position can be prevented. It is possible to accurately grasp the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 having a plurality of stop positions by reducing the number as much as possible.

Further, since the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately stopped at an arbitrary stop position, and the game is played by shifting the stop position. It is possible to prevent the person from giving a sense of discomfort, and it is possible to entertain the effect (movable effect) by the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, since the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the deviation of the stop position can be suppressed even if the rotation speed of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 is increased, and the back side can be suppressed. By rotating the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310, the moving speed (rotational speed) of the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is higher than that in the case where the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 is reciprocated. Can be faster. Therefore, the fast-rotating under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310 can give a strong impact to the player, can strongly attract the player's attention, and can rotate the under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310. It can be entertained, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

Since such an effect can be shown to the player, the player can be thrilled and excited depending on whether or not the desired number decoration stops rotating at the stop position, and the movable effect by the rotating ornament 3310 under the back is provided. It can be entertaining and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the number of stop positions of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 is an even number, the number of stop positions that can be handled by the minimum number of area identification sensors 3330 required for detecting the movement to an arbitrary stop position , The number of the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back is the same as that of the stop position, the ability (grasp of the stop position) by the plurality of area identification sensors 3330 can be maximized, and more stop positions are provided. The lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can entertain the player and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Therefore, since the link member 3558 does not move upward, the back rear left decorative body unit 3520 (back rear left rotating decorative body 3510) is centered on the shaft hole 3524a (support shaft 3551a) of the movable base 3524 from the retracted position. It does not rotate, and the urging force of the spring 3559 does not act on the rear left lift drive motor 3554 via the link member 3558, the lift cam gear 3557, and the like.

In a normal state, the drive pin 3557b of the elevating cam gear 3557 may be brought into contact with the left end of the first slit 3558a. As a result, when the link member 3558 tries to move upward due to the urging force of the spring 3559, the elevating cam gear 3557 tends to rotate in the clockwise direction due to the force acting from the first slit 3558a via the drive pin 3557b. At this time, the drive pin 3557b of the evacuation cam gear 3557 tries to revolve in the direction of moving to the left, but the drive pin 3557b is in contact with the left end of the first slit 3558a, so that the drive pin 3557b Can not revolve, and the upward movement of the link member 3558 is locked via the elevating cam gear 3557, and the rotation of the back rear left decorative unit 3520 from the retracted position can be prevented.

In this normal state, when the motor gear 3555 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the rear left elevating drive motor 3554, the elevating cam gear 3557 rotates in the counterclockwise direction via the transmission gear 3556 and the gear portion 3557a. Therefore, the drive pin 3557b of the elevating cam gear 3557 revolves in the counterclockwise direction. When the drive pin 3557b revolves in the counterclockwise direction, it slides to the right in the first slit 3558a while pressing the inner surface of the first slit 3558a upward, and the link member 3558 moves upward. It will be.

When the link member 3558 moves upward, the actuating pin 3524b of the movable base 3524 of the back rear left decorative unit 3520 protruding below and to the right of the support shaft 3551a is moved upward by the inner surface of the second slit 3558b of the link member 3558. The movable base 3524 rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 3551a while the operating pin 3524b slides to the right in the second slit 3558b, and the back rear left decorative unit 3520 moves. It will rotate in the counterclockwise direction from the retracted position (see FIGS. 184 (a) and 184 (b)). At this time, the urging force of the spring 3559 assists the link member 3558 to move upward, reducing the load applied to the back-rear left elevating drive motor 3554.

In this way, the back rear left decorative body unit 3520 rotates in the counterclockwise direction about the support shaft 3551a, so that the back rear left rotating decorative body 3510 provided on the lower end side moves to the right. While moving upward, the back-back left-rotating decorative body 3510 moves to the right of the back-front-left effect unit 3700, and becomes visible from the front (player side).

In the back rear left effect unit 3500 of the present embodiment, the back rear left decorative unit 3520 rotates when the elevating cam gear 3557 is rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise from the normal state (retracted position state). The position is the first appearance position (see FIG. 184 (b)). In the state of the first appearance position, the rear left decorative unit 3520 is rotated about 44 degrees in the counterclockwise direction from the state of the retracted position.

Then, when the elevating cam gear 3557 further rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the state of the first appearance position, the drive pin 3557b slides to the left in the first slit 3558a.

The motor 3654 is arranged so that at least a part of the motor 3654 is outside the game area 5a in the front view, and is placed between the game panel 1100 and the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654. Back front left decorative body 3030 and back front right decorative body 3040 extending from the inside of the game area 5a to the outside of the game area 5a so as to at least cover the portion in the game area 5a of the elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654. The back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 make it possible to cover and hide at least a part of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654. Through the transparent front component 1000, the game panel 1100, and the game area 5a, the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654 can be obscured from the player side, and the appearance of the entire pachinko machine 1 can be made difficult to see. The back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 can be seen instead of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654. The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 as a whole can be improved, and the pachinko machine 1 can be made to have an enhanced appeal to the player.

Further, since the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 are transparent, the boundary of the game area 5a partitioned by the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 is difficult to understand, so that the outer periphery of the game area 5a is not partitioned. It is possible to give a feeling of openness by looking like this, and even if the game area 5a is the same size as the conventional pachinko machine, the game area 5a can be made to appear larger. Therefore, since the game area 5a looks larger than that of the conventional pachinko machine, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player, raise the expectation for the game with the pachinko machine 1, and play the game. The pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as the pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine 1 can enhance the appeal to the player.

Further, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 cover at least a portion in the game area 5a in front of the functional parts such as the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654. Therefore, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 can prevent the functional parts from being seen in the game area 5a, so that the appearance in the game area 5a can be improved. In addition to being able to exert the same effects as described above, it is possible to make the functional parts difficult to see even when viewed from the center side of the game area 5a.

Further, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are provided with continuous decorations over the entire surface, and the back front extending from the inside of the game area 5a to the outside of the game area 5a in front view. Since the decorations of the left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are continuous over the entire surface, it is possible to make it difficult to understand the boundary of the outer periphery of the game area 5a by the continuous decoration, and to give a feeling of openness to the game. The size of the area 5a can be made to appear larger than the actual size, and the pachinko machine 1 can be made to look better by decorating the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040. It is possible to make it stand out and enhance the appeal to the player.

Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are made opaque, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are provided on the rear side through the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front left decorative body 3040. It is possible to prevent the back rear right effect unit 3600 and the like from being seen, and the back rear left effect unit 3500 and the back rear right effect unit 3600 and the like can be seen from the player side through the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100. It is possible to improve the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 by preventing it from becoming worse.

Further, in front view, at least a part of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654 as functional parts is arranged outside the game area 5a (in the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554). Since (the whole) is completely (whole) arranged outside the game area 5a), the front component 1000 and the outer circumference of the game area 5a are used to arrange the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654. The back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654 can be arranged without increasing the space between them, and the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654 can be arranged. By balancing, it is possible to prevent the space of the game area 5a from becoming small. In other words, since a part of the back-rear right elevating drive motor 3654 is arranged in the game area 5a in the front view, the space between the front component 1000 and the outer periphery of the game area 5a should be reduced. This makes it possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 capable of relatively increasing the space of the game area 5a and further exerting the above-mentioned effects. Further, by providing a part of the drive source (motor, solenoid, etc.) of the accessory that moves in the game area 5a outside the game area 5a, the space in the game area 5a can be increased. In that case, The range of effects performed within the game area 5a is expanded. All the drive sources (motors, solenoids, etc.) of the accessory that can move in the game area 5a may be arranged outside the game area 5a.

Further, since the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 are transparent, the light of the illumination in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, various LEDs and the effect display device 1600 provided in the pachinko machine 1, etc. It is possible to transmit, reflect, refract, and diffuse the light from the pachinko machine 1 as if the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 were emitting light. Can improve the appearance of. Further, although the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are provided with the opaque decorative sticker 3032 and the decorative sticker 3042, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are each based 3031. And since the base 3041 (which may include the decorative sticker 3032 and the decorative sticker 3042) is made of a transparent member, the light from various LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is emitted from the back front left decorative body 3030 or the back. It is possible to give the impression that the front right decorative body 3040 reaches the front right decorative body 3040 and the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 emit light. It can be said that the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are arranged at positions where the light from various LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 reaches.

Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 covers at least a part of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 as a functional part, it can be understood that it is a functional part by covering it to some extent without covering the whole. It becomes spicy and can look like part of a decoration. Therefore, even if the back front left decorative body 3030 is not sized to cover the entire back rear left elevating drive motor 3554, the same effects as described above can be obtained, and thus the back front left decorative body The game area 5a can be made larger while reducing the cost of 3030. The back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 cover and hide at least a part of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 and the back rear right elevating drive motor 3654, but some of them are pachinko machines. It is desirable that the portion is closer to the center of 1 (the portion closer to the boundary line that divides the inside of the game area 5a and the outside of the game area 5a). Further, it extends from the inside of the game area 5a to the outside of the game area 5a even for a predetermined place where there is no drive source outside the game area 5a (a place in the lower left in FIG. 131, that is, a place in the lower left corner in the game board 5). By providing the decorative body, the game area 5a can be made to look larger.

Further, the inside of the frame of the front component 1000 that divides the outer circumference of the game area 5a is closed from the rear by the transparent game panel 1100, and the game area 5a is located on the front side of the game panel 1100. Therefore, the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are provided on the rear side of the game area 5a. Therefore, in front view, the inside and outside of the game area 5a can be decorated from the rear by the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 extending from the inside of the game area 5a to the outside of the game area 5a. The same effect can be obtained, and the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 do not interfere with the game ball B in the game area 5a, and the game in the game area 5a is smooth. It can be entertained and the decline in interest can be suppressed.

Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 are extended to the outside of the door window 101a of the door frame 3 in the front view, the back front left decorative body in the door window 101a The back rear left effect unit 3500 and the back rear right effect unit 3600 behind the 3030 and the back front right decorative body 3040 can be made invisible, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved. Further, since the back front left decorative body 3030 is extended to the extent that the inner part of the door window 101a of the back rear left elevating drive motor 3554 as a functional component is hidden, the back front left decorative body 3030 raises and lowers the back rear left. Even if the entire drive motor 3554 is not covered, the uncovered portion can be covered by the frame-shaped door frame 3, so that it is possible to prevent the back front left decorative body 3030 from becoming longer than necessary. The cost of the back front left decorative body 3030 (pachinko machine 1) can be reduced.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface of the two general winning openings 2001 from the right of the side unit 2200 in the front unit 2000 of the game board 5 is inclined toward the game panel 1100. On the other hand, in the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, the front wall portion 2101 forming the front surface is parallel to the game panel 1100, and the front surface is decorated with translucency. Since (a sticker is attached), the front surface of the first starting port 2002 faces forward (player side), and the first starting port 2002 can be made more conspicuous than the general winning opening 2001. Therefore, since it is possible to make it easier for the player to direct the player's consciousness toward the first starting port 2002 than the general winning opening 2001, the number of game balls B accepted by the first starting port 2002 is reduced (or the first starting). It is possible to avoid that the player's consciousness is concentrated on the general winning opening 2001 rather than the opening 2002), and the lottery of the first special lottery result performed by accepting the game ball B to the first starting opening 2002. It is possible to raise the expectation for the player and suppress the decline in interest, and at the same time, it is possible to make the player surely recognize the position of the first starting port 2002 that the player should aim at, and the player aimed at the first starting port 2002. You can entertain the game.

Then, depending on whether or not the game ball B in the game area 5a is accepted by the first start port 2002, the player can be disturbed, and when the game ball B is received by the first start port 2002, Depending on whether or not a winning (for example, "big hit") in which an advantageous gaming state is generated by the lottery of the first special lottery result is drawn, the player can be thrilled and excited, and the expectation for the game is raised. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest. After that, when the winner is drawn by the lottery of the first special lottery result, an advantageous gaming state occurs in which the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 open and close in a predetermined pattern, which greatly enjoys the player. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the game. At this time, if the game ball B aiming at the first starting port 2002 is accepted by the general winning opening 2001, the game ball B is paid out as a privilege although the lottery of the first special lottery result is not performed. , The player is not discouraged, and the game can be continuously enjoyed and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

Further, the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001 is inclined with respect to the surface of the game panel 1100, and the front wall portion 2101 of the first starting port 2002 is made parallel to the surface of the game panel 1100. Since the form (appearance) of the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 will be significantly different, a sticker is attached to the front surface of the first starting opening 2002 and a seal is attached to the front surface of the general winning opening 2001. Even if it is not attached, it does not give a sense of discomfort to the player, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine 1 from becoming unattractive, and the player can enjoy the game with the pachinko machine 1 and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

Further, since the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 are formed of a transparent member, the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 is visually recognized through the transparent member. Therefore, it is possible to make the player surely recognize that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting opening 2002, and to fully enjoy the joy of being accepted. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the decline in interest. Further, since the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 are formed of transparent members, the light of the illumination in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed and the light emitted from the pachinko machine 1 are provided. Since the light from the means (LED on the decorative substrate) can be reflected, refracted, or diffused, the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting port 2002 can be made to look gorgeous and look good. Therefore, the appealing power to the player can be enhanced.

Further, in the general winning opening 2001, the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface is inclined toward the game panel 1100, and in the first starting opening 2002, the accepted game ball B is used as the general winning opening. Since the game ball B is guided backward later than the game ball B received in 2001, the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002 where the lottery of the first special lottery result is performed is used as the general winning opening 2001. Since the game ball B received can be guided to the rear at a later timing than the received game ball B, the game ball B received at the first starting port 2002 can be shown to the player for a relatively long time. Therefore, when the game ball B is accepted at the first starting port 2002 where the lottery of the first special lottery result is performed, the joy (superiority complex) due to the acceptance of the game ball B at the first starting port 2002 is a general prize. The player can be allowed to taste the game ball B for a longer time than when the game ball B is received in the mouth 2001, and the player can be entertained and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

Further, since the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface of the general winning opening 2001 is inclined toward the game panel 1100, the game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 is immediately rearward (). Since it can be guided to the game panel 1100 side) and discharged faster than the game ball B received in the first starting port 2002, it is useless for the game ball B being received in the general winning opening 2001. It is possible to suppress the feeling of the player for a long time, to direct the player's attention to the next game ball B, to advance the game smoothly, and to suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, in the general winning opening 2001, a part of the game ball B passes in front of the first front wall portion 2203 after the first front wall portion 2203 forming the front surface is inclined with respect to the game panel 1100. In order to make it possible, when the game ball B passes in front of the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001, most of the game ball B overlaps with the general winning opening 2001 in the front view. Depending on the player, the game ball B can be made to have the illusion that it has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, and the player can be entertained. At this time, since a part of the game ball B does not overlap with the general winning opening 2001, it is not strongly recognized that the game ball B has been accepted by the general winning opening 2001, and it may be considered as an illusion. Therefore, even if the privilege (lottery of the first special lottery result) is not given after that, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust of the pachinko machine 1 and the game hall side. It is possible to continue to enjoy the game and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the first front wall portion 2203 of the general winning opening 2001 is inclined toward the game panel 1100, the amount of material applied to the general winning opening 2001 (side unit 2200) can be reduced, and the general winning opening 2001 (side unit 2200) can be reduced. Decoration such as a sticker can be omitted on the front surface of the mouth 2001. Therefore, since the cost of the general winning opening 2001 can be reduced, the pachinko machine 1 can be made more entertaining to the player by turning the amount into a production device or the like.

Further, according to the present embodiment, in the back bottom middle decoration unit 3320 of the back bottom middle effect unit 3300 in the back unit 3000, the rotating back bottom middle rotation having a plurality of even-numbered (here, 6 places) stop positions. The decorative body 3310 is provided with an area detection piece 3325 having a length extending to half of the stop positions and a plurality of position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to each stop position (here, six), and an area detection piece 3325. Multiple (here, three) area identification sensors 3330 consisting of half of the stop positions that detect the above, and one position identification sensor 3331 that detects the position detection piece 3326, and multiple (here four) sensors. Since it is provided, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates, the plurality of area identification sensors 3330 that detect the area detection piece 3325 repeatedly increase in order from one side in the rotation direction and then decrease. Therefore, by combining the area identification sensor 3330 that detects the area detection piece 3325, the current rotation position of the back lower middle rotation decoration body 3310 can be roughly grasped.

More specifically, in the case of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 having six stop positions from the first stop position to the sixth stop position in the rotation direction, three side-by-side stop positions in which the area detection piece 3325 is half. The number of the minimum area identification sensors 3330 required for detecting the movement to an arbitrary stop position is three, which is half of the number of stop positions. Then, the three area identification sensors 3330 are set as the first area identification sensor 3330a, the second area identification sensor 3330b, and the third area identification sensor 3330c in the rotation direction, and the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 is in the first stop position. At the time of (position of the decorative number of "3"), it is assumed that only the first area identification sensor 3330a detects the area detection piece 3325. When the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the second stop position (the position of the decorative number of "2") from this state, the first area identification sensor 3330a and the second area identification sensor 3330b detect the area detection piece 3325.

Further, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the third stop position (the position of the decorative number “1”), the first region identification sensor 3330a, the second region identification sensor 3330b, and the third region identification sensor 3330c The area detection piece 3325 is detected.

Further, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the fourth stop position (the position of the decorative number of "6"), the first area identification sensor 3330a is not detected, and the second area identification sensor 3330b and the third area identification are specified. The sensor 3330c detects the area detection piece 3325. Further, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the fifth stop position (the position of the decorative number of "5"), the second area identification sensor 3330b is not detected, and only the third area identification sensor 3330c is the area detection piece. Detects 3325. Then, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the sixth stop position (the position of the decorative number of "4"), the third area identification sensor 3330c is also non-detected, and all the area identification sensors 3330 are the area detection piece 3325. Is not detected. After that, when the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 is further rotated, it is rotated to the first stop position (the position of the decorative number of "3"), and only the first area identification sensor 3330a detects the area detection piece 3325. In the initial state, the detection / non-detection of the region identification sensor 3330 as described above is repeated as the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back is rotated.

In this way, since the area detection piece 3325 having a length extending over half of the stop positions is provided, the area detection piece 3325 is detected by a plurality of area identification sensors 3330, and the rotation is decorated in the lower back. The rotation of the body 3310 can be detected, and all the area identification sensors 3330 are not undetected even until the rotating decorative body 3310 rotates to the next stop position. The current position of the medium-rotating decorative body 3310 can be roughly grasped.

Since the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 is provided with a plurality of (six in this case) position detection pieces 3326 corresponding to the respective stop positions, the area detection pieces 3325 by the plurality of area identification sensors 3330 After roughly detecting the rotation of the lower back middle rotation decoration 3310 to an arbitrary stop position by detection, the stop position can be accurately detected by detecting the position detection piece 3326 by one position identification sensor 3331. , It is possible to accurately grasp the stop position of the back lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 having a plurality of stop positions by minimizing the deviation of the stop position.

Further, since the stop position of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately grasped, the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 can be accurately stopped at an arbitrary stop position, and the game can be played by shifting the stop position. It is possible to prevent giving a person a sense of discomfort (discomfort), to entertain the production (movable production) by the rotating decorative body 3310 under the back, and to suppress the decline in interest. The pachinko machine 1 can realize the operation of the movable body (rotating decorative body 3310 under the back) that does not cause discomfort to the player.

It is composed of a second guide passage 2522 and the like. As a result, when the game ball B is hit with a strength that abuts on the abutting portion 1006 (so-called right-handed striking), it enters the first guide passage 2521 and has a strength that does not abut on the abutting portion 1006 (right-handed striking). If the game ball B is hit with a strength that is weaker to some extent), it will enter the second guide passage 2522 with a high probability. That is, the game ball B driven into the upper right side of the center accessory 2500 circulates in either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 according to the driving strength.

In the present embodiment, the game ball B is configured to pass through the gate portion 2003 with a higher probability when the second guide passage 2522 is circulated than the first guide passage 2521. Further, the second guide passage 2522 is configured to pass through the gate portion 2003 and the left side of the gate portion 2003 with a higher probability than the first guide passage 2521.

When the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and is detected by the gate sensor 2801, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and when the lottery normal lottery result is "normal hit", the first attacker unit The closed second starting port 2004 in the 2400 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball B can be accepted into the second starting port 2004.

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by passing the game ball B through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery until the result of the ordinary lottery is suggested (for example, 0). 0.01 to 60 seconds, also called normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second starting port 2004 is normally opened after the lapse of the fluctuation time.

If the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 between the time when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 and the time when the normal lottery result is suggested, the suggestion of the normal lottery result cannot be started. The start of suggestion of the normal lottery result is suspended until the suggestion of the previous normal lottery result is completed. In addition, the maximum number of pending lottery results is four, and even if the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, the number of pending results is discarded without being reserved. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003 and the left side of the gate portion 2003 has a high probability of being the side right middle unit 2700 due to a plurality of obstacle nails N planted between the gate portion 2003 and the side right middle unit 2700. It flows down the left side of the sill, and is sometimes accepted by the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, and rarely by the second sub-out opening 2012. When the game ball B is accepted into the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out in the same manner as the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200. On the other hand, when the game ball B is accepted in the second sub-out opening 2012, it is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a without any chance of being accepted in the second big winning opening 2006, the second starting opening 2004, or the first big winning opening 2005. ..

Further, the game ball B passing through the right side of the gate portion 2003 is received by the second sub-out port 2012 of the side right middle unit 2700, and the general winning opening 2001, the second major winning opening 2006, and the second of the side right middle unit 2700. It is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a without any chance of being accepted by the starting port 2004 or the first big winning opening 2005.

In this way, when the game ball B is received in the second sub-out port 2012 on the downstream side of the guide passage group 2520, the game ball B is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a, so that the second sub-out to the player. It is possible to urge a driving operation so that the game ball B cannot be received by the mouth 2012. In the present embodiment, in the guide passage group 2520 of the center accessory 2500, the second guide passage 2522 has a lower probability of accepting the game ball B of the second sub-out port 2012 than the first guide passage 2521. , It is possible to prompt the driving operation of the game ball B aiming at the second guide passage 2522. That is, rather than "right-handed" in which the game ball B abuts on the abutting portion 1006, it is possible to promote a driving operation that requires a delicate adjustment for the rotation operation of the handle 182, and the driving operation of the game ball B You can enjoy the original game of the pachinko machine 1 that mainly uses.

The game ball B passing through the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is guided by a plurality of obstacle nails N planted on the left side of the side right middle unit 2700, and the second big winning opening 2006 in the second attacker unit 2600. After passing to the left of the center, it is discharged to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500.

At this time, if the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and a "small hit" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery or the second special lottery, the second big prize is won. Since the mouth 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that has flowed down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is highly likely to be accepted by the second big winning mouth 2006. When the game ball B is received in the second big winning opening 2006 when the second big winning opening 2006 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 pieces, or 10 pieces, or 10 pieces, or , 13) game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201.

The game ball B released to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the left side of the second prize opening 2006 has the first shelf 2412a, the second starting door 2414, and the second shelf 2412b, and the upper left. After rolling to the left, it is released to the left, and further, the third shelf 2412c, the first prize opening door 2417, and the fourth shelf 2412d roll to the left and enter the game area 5a. It is released.

Then, when the game ball B is rolling on the second start door 2414, the normal lottery result drawn by the passage of the game ball B at the gate portion 2003 is "normal hit", and the second start door When the 2414 is retracted, the game ball B is received by the second starting port 2004. When the game balls B are received in the second starting port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", "time reduction (time reduction)" A lottery of the special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates "win" is performed.

In addition, when the game ball B is rolling on the first prize opening door 2417, a special lottery result (No. 1) drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. When the one special lottery result and the second special lottery result) are the special lottery results (for example, "big hit") that generate an advantageous gaming state, the first big winning opening 2005 has a predetermined opening / closing pattern after the lapse of the special fluctuation time. Then, the game ball B can be accepted. When the game ball B is received in the first prize opening 2005 when the first prize opening 2005 is open, the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 provide a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 10) from the payout device 580. , 13) game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the first prize-winning opening 2005 allows the game ball B to be accepted, by having the first prize-winning opening 2005 accept the game ball B, a large number of game balls B can be paid out, and the player can be made to pay out. Can be entertained.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 has an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit", which is advantageous to the player. A lottery of special lottery results that generate "medium hit", "small hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", and "time reduction (time reduction) hit" is performed. Then, the lottery special lottery result is displayed. It is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also referred to as a special fluctuation time). In addition, a lottery is drawn when the game ball B is accepted at the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. The special lottery results include "miss", "small hit", "2R big hit", "5R big hit", "15R big hit", "probability change (probability change)", "time reduction (time reduction)", " There are "probability change time reduction hit", "probability change time reduction no hit", "second big hit", etc.

When the special lottery result is "small hit", the second big winning opening 2006 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern that closes after that is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) has elapsed or the first big prize has passed after the first big prize opening 2005 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted. When any of the conditions of accepting a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls B to the winning opening 2005 is satisfied, the opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is 1) that makes the game balls B unacceptable. A predetermined number of times (referred to as a round) is repeated. For example, "2R jackpot" is repeated 2 rounds, "5R jackpot" is 5 rounds, and "15R jackpot" is 15 rounds, respectively, to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

In "big hit", after the big hit game is over, the probability that a special lottery result such as "big hit" will be drawn is changed ("probability change hit"), or the display time of the production image suggesting the special lottery result is changed. ("Time saving hit") There is a "hit".

When the special lottery result (for example, the second special lottery result) is "second big hit", ST (special) is set as an advantageous game state after the first big winning opening 2005 enables the game ball B to be accepted in a predetermined pattern.・ Time) is generated. This ST is to maintain a probabilistic change or a time saving state during a predetermined specific number of fluctuations.

In the present embodiment, from the start of the special lottery to the suggestion of the result of the special lottery by accepting the game ball B to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the first start port 2002 and When the game ball B is accepted in the second starting port 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started. Therefore, the suggestion of the special lottery result is started until the suggestion of the special lottery result previously drawn is completed. It is put on hold. The number of reserved special lottery results is limited to four for each of the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, and for more than that, the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. Even if the game ball B is accepted in 2004, the special lottery result is not reserved and is discarded. As a result, the increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the hold.

The suggestion of the special lottery result is performed by the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600. In the function display unit 1400, the special lottery result is suggested by being directly controlled by the main control board 1310. The suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 suggests the special lottery result by repeatedly turning on and off a plurality of LEDs to blink for a predetermined time and then by combining the lit LEDs.

On the other hand, in the effect display device 1600, based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control board 1510 indirectly controls the effect image to suggest the special lottery result. The effect image suggesting the result of the special lottery on the effect display device 1600 is a pattern sequence in which three pattern rows consisting of a plurality of patterns are displayed side by side in the left-right direction, and each pattern sequence is varied to display the pattern. Are stopped and displayed in sequence, and each of the three picture rows is stopped and displayed so that the patterns of the three picture rows that are stopped and displayed are combined with the special lottery result. When the special lottery result is other than "missing", after the three pattern rows are stopped and each pattern is stopped and displayed, a definite image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the effect display device 1600 and the lottery is performed. An advantageous gaming state (for example, a "small hit" game, a "big hit" game, etc.) occurs according to the result of the special lottery.

In addition, the time suggesting the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 (LED blinking time (variable time)) and the time suggesting the special lottery result in the effect display device 1600 (the pattern sequence fluctuates and the confirmed image is displayed. It is different from the time until it is displayed), and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation in the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 is performed according to the lottery special lottery result. It is possible to perform a player participation type production in which the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301 are operated. In the player participation type production, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated or vibrated by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation can be assisted, the rotation operation can be hindered, and the operation button elevating drive motor can be used. The pressing operation unit 303 can be raised by 367 to make it stand out, and the player participation type production can be enjoyed by operating the effect operation unit 301.

It may be "by locking", "by magnetism by magnet", "by surface fastener", "by suction plate", "by peelable adhesive material", or the like. Further, the position where the mounting portion is provided in the dish unit 200 is not limited to the lower surface of the dish unit 200 as described above, but may be "inside", "at least one side surface on the left or right", "front surface", or the like. ..

After installing the pachinko machine 1 in the island equipment, the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 is removed from the mounting portion of the plate unit 200 and stored in the game hall side, and when the pachinko machine 1 is removed from the island equipment, the plate is again used. It is used by being attached to the unit 200. The self-supporting member 7 may be attached to the dish unit 200 in advance when the pachinko machine 1 is shipped from the manufacturer side to the game hall side, or may be attached at the time of installation work.

According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the door frame 3 has the dish unit 200, the door frame right side unit 410, and the door frame top unit 450 that greatly project forward, it is forward. Although it is easy to fall down, by mounting the independence assisting member 7 on the lower mounting portion of the plate unit 200, it is possible to assist the independence of the pachinko machine 1 and prevent it from falling forward. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island equipment of the game hall, the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 is attached to the mounting portion of the plate unit 200, so that the pachinko machine 1 is between the plate unit 200 and the plate 8 of the island equipment. Since the self-supporting member 7 located at the above can prevent the pachinko machine 1 from tipping forward, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine 1 from tipping over when the pachinko machine 1 is installed on the island facility. It is a pachinko machine 1 that does not need to be kept and is easy to install.

Further, by mounting the self-supporting member 7 on the mounting portion of the plate unit 200, it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine 1 from tipping over, so that damage to the pachinko machine 1 due to the fall can be avoided, and the game hall or the manufacturer It is a pachinko machine 1 that can reduce the burden on the side.

Further, since the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3 is provided with a mounting portion for mounting the self-supporting member 7, the self-supporting member 7 is mounted on the mounting portion of the plate unit 200 to assist the pachinko machine 1 to become self-supporting. Since it is possible to prevent the pachinko machine from tipping forward, it is possible to make the effect device, the decorative member, etc. provided on the door frame 3 larger or to project it further forward. It is possible to easily configure a pachinko machine having a significantly different appearance from the machine, and it is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to a player. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1, the dish unit 200 and the like are greatly projected forward in the door frame 3, making the pachinko machine 1 highly appealing.

In the above embodiment, the self-supporting member 7 can be attached to and detached from the mounting portion of the dish unit 200 by sliding the self-supporting member 7 in the front-rear direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. The plate unit 200 of the frame 3 may be attached / detached by sliding it in the left-right direction.

Further, the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 is detachably attached to the mounting portion of the door frame 3 (dish unit 200), and then the functional member (for example, the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202) is detachably provided on the door frame 3. , Door frame left side unit 400, door frame right side unit 410, door frame top unit 450, etc.) may also be used. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is attached to or removed from the island equipment, the functional member removed from the door frame 3 is attached to the dish unit 200 of the door frame 3 as an independence auxiliary member 7, and the pachinko machine Allow 1 to stand on its own in a stable state. On the other hand, in a state where the pachinko machine 1 is attached to the island facility, a part of the pachinko machine 1 is attached by attaching the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 removed from the dish unit 200 of the door frame 3 to the door frame 3 as a functional member. It can function as a constituent functional member. Specifically, for example, in the case of the door frame left side unit 400 that bulges forward from the left side of the door window 101a in the door frame 3 as a functional member that also serves as the independence assisting member 7, the door removed from the door frame 3 By attaching the frame left side unit 400 to the lower side of the plate unit 200, it can function as an independence auxiliary member 7, and by removing it from the lower side of the plate unit 200 and attaching it to the left side of the door window 101a, it functions as a functional member. be able to. For this reason, when the self-supporting member 7 is made removable, it is not necessary to separately store the removed self-supporting member 7, and it is troublesome to manage the removed self-supporting member 7 so that it is not lost. Can be eliminated, and the burden on the game hall side can be reduced.

Alternatively, the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 is detachably provided on the door frame 3 (dish unit 200) and then detachably provided on the main body frame 4 (for example, "board cover covering the board", "wiring". "Wiring holding member that holds the game media", "Protective cover that protects the rear of the effect display device, movable decoration, etc.", "Storage tank that stores the game media", "Induction member that distributes the game media", etc.) You may also use it. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is attached to or removed from the island equipment, the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 removed from the main body frame 4 is attached to the door frame 3 (dish unit 200) to stabilize the pachinko machine 1. To be able to become independent in the state of being. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 1 is attached to the island facility, the function of forming a part of the pachinko machine 1 by attaching the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 removed from the door frame 3 to a predetermined portion of the main body frame 4. It can function as a member. For this reason, when the self-supporting member 7 is made removable, it is not necessary to separately store the removed self-supporting member 7, and it is troublesome to manage the removed self-supporting member 7 so that it is not lost. Can be eliminated, and the burden on the game hall side can be reduced. When the independence assisting member 7 is also used as the functional member provided in the main body frame 4, the player touches the removable functional member in the state where the functional member is attached to the main body frame 4. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the functional member from coming off due to the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be obtained without causing discomfort to the player.

Further, when the self-supporting member 7 is also used as the functional member provided in the door frame 3 or the main body frame 4, the pachinko machine 1 is compared with the case where the self-supporting member 7 is not also used as the functional member. The number of parts required for the door can be reduced, and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

Further, the self-supporting member 7 may be provided so as to be accommodated in the dish unit 200 of the door frame 3. As a result, when it is not necessary to attach the pachinko machine 1 to the island equipment and make it self-supporting, the self-supporting member 7 is housed in the dish unit 200 of the door frame 3, and the presence of the self-supporting member 7 makes the pachinko machine 1 look good. It is possible to prevent the independence assisting member 7 from becoming an obstacle to the game. On the other hand, when the pachinko machine 1 is attached to or removed from the island equipment, the independence assisting member 7 housed in the dish unit 200 of the door frame 3 is taken out so that the pachinko machine 1 can become independent. Therefore, the installation work and the removal work of the pachinko machine 1 can be facilitated. Further, in this case, as compared with the case where the self-supporting member 7 is removed and stored separately, it is not necessary to store the self-supporting member 7, and it is troublesome to manage the self-supporting member 7 so that it is not lost. Can be eliminated, and the burden on the game hall side can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 having a mounted portion to be mounted on the mounting portion of the dish unit 200 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and it is assumed that the mounting portion is not provided. Is also good.

Further, although the self-supporting member 7 that can be attached to and detached from the mounting portion of the dish unit 200 is shown, the self-supporting member 7 is not limited to this, and the self-supporting member 7 is built in the dish unit 200 (door frame 3). When the self-supporting member 7 is installed on the island facility, the self-supporting member 7 may be projected downward so as to come into contact with the plate 8. As a result, it is not necessary to remove the self-supporting auxiliary member 7 and store it separately after installing the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility, and it is possible to reduce the labor required for management on the game hall side.

[10. Main control board control process]
Next, an example of the control process executed on the main control board 1310 (particularly the main control MPU) will be described. FIG. 208 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 208 (a), the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment is first subjected to various processes of step S1 on the condition that the RAM clear switch of the main control board 1310 is operated. Initializes the data stored in the RAM built in the register or main control MPU (hereinafter referred to as the main control built-in RAM). The RAM clear switch is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 so that it cannot be operated unless the main body frame 4 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch outputs a clear signal to the main control board 1310 according to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) elapses from the power on, and the main control MPU inputs the clear signal when the power is turned on. When it is determined, the initialization process (step S1) is executed to initialize the data stored in various registers and the main control built-in RAM.

Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a backup process is executed in which information indicating the progress of the game (for example, various flags) is saved in the main control built-in RAM. If the RAM clear switch is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the main control built-in RAM is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). A recovery process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch is operated when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 to the initial state. Further, when the initialization process is executed, the game state is controlled to the non-time saving state.

Next, as the process of step S2, the random number, which is the number to be updated within the predetermined numerical range, is updated. That is, in the main control board 1310 according to this embodiment, the special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and the special symbol used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped. Whether or not to reach as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600 in response to the variable random number used for the lottery process for the predetermined time (variable time) required for the variable display control of the above special symbol and the variable display of the above special symbol. The reach random number used in the lottery process (whether or not to execute the effect), and the symbol random number used in the lottery process to determine the type of big hit when it is determined to be a big hit based on the above special random number. A random number counter that holds random numbers such as (first symbol random number, second symbol random number), random number (ordinary random number) used for lottery processing related to winning the hit that triggers the opening of the second starting port 2004), etc. I have.

In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first starting port 2002 is started and the second starting port 2004 is started and won. Even in the case, it is configured to acquire the reach random number from the same counter that updates the reach random number, but the execution ratio of the reach effect is increased by acquiring from the counters that update the reach random number from different random numbers. It may be different, or it corresponds to the first reach judgment table corresponding to the first special symbol as the reach judgment table to be compared with the acquired reach random number, and corresponds to the second special symbol, and is different from the first reach judgment table. The execution ratio of the reach effect may be different by providing the second reach determination table in which the determination value is set.

In the process of step S2, the counter operation of the random number counter is performed so that only the random numbers (variable random numbers) that are not related to the winning of these random numbers are updated. After the processes of steps S1 and S2 are performed in this way, only the process of step S2 is basically repeated. However, in this embodiment, for example, the following timer interrupt control is performed every 4 mS.

FIG. 208 (b) is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310.

As shown in FIG. 208 (b), in this interrupt control, first, a register save process is performed as the process of step S11. Next, as the process of step S12, the gate sensor 2801, the first start port sensor 3052, the second start port sensor 2401, and the first count sensor that detects the game ball B received in the first grand prize opening 2005, Detection signals from various sensors such as the second count sensor that detects the game ball B received in the second large winning opening 2006, the general winning opening sensor 3001, and various magnetic sensors are input. Next, as the process of step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the random numbers, the random numbers (special random numbers, ordinary random numbers) related to the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol and the normal symbol is stopped are updated and the counter of the random number counter. The operation is performed.

Then, after the random numbers are updated in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs a special symbol process process including a lottery process related to the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped as the process of step S14. To execute. The special symbol process processing will be described later, but here, basically, the special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, second) indicating the progress of the game stored in the main control built-in RAM is described. The corresponding process will be selectively executed based on the special symbol process flag).

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 executes a normal symbol process process including a lottery process for winning a hit that triggers the opening of the second starting port 2004 as the process of step S15. In this normal symbol process process as well, basically, the corresponding process is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game.

Further, when the special symbol process process (step S14) and the normal symbol process process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is then subjected to the special symbol process process as the process of step S16. The process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM to the peripheral control board 1510 or the like is performed. Next, as the process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM in the normal symbol process process to, for example, the peripheral control board 1510 is performed.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 then performs an information output process for outputting data such as hit information supplied to the hall management computer as the process of step S18.

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs the process of step S19, the first start port sensor 3052, the second start port sensor 2401, the first count sensor, the second count sensor, and the above. When the detection signals of the general winning opening sensor 3051 and the like are in the ON state, the prize ball processing for outputting the payout control command to the payout control board 633 is executed so that the prize balls corresponding to those signals are paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU mounted on the payout control board 633 outputs a drive signal to the payout motor 584 and pays out the prize ball to the player. In this example, when the game ball B wins the first start port 2002 and the first start port sensor 3052 is turned on, "3 balls", and the game ball B wins the second start port 2004 and the first (2) When the start port sensor 2401 is turned on, "1 ball", when the game ball B wins the first prize opening 2005 and the first count sensor is turned on, "15 balls", the second big prize opening When the game ball B wins in 2006 and the second count sensor is turned on, "15 balls", and when the game ball B wins in the general winning opening 2001 and the general winning opening sensor 3051 is turned on, "8 balls" prize balls are paid out to each player.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 then executes a storage process for checking the increase / decrease in the number of reserved storages as the process of step S20. Next, as the process of step S21, a test terminal process, which is a process of outputting a test signal so that the control state of the pachinko machine 1 can be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that always operates is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24), this control ends. It becomes.

With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 4 mS. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by the interrupt process by the timer, but in the interrupt process, for example, only the flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred may be set. However, in this case, the game control process is executed in the main process.

FIG. 209 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process process (step S14).

Assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S13), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is first driven by the first start port sensor 3052, as shown in FIG. 209. On condition that the detection signal is in the ON state (the ball has entered the first start port 2002) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above random number counter and this is built in the main control. The first start port passage process such as storing in the first special symbol reservation storage area of the RAM is executed (step S32). Further, on condition that the detection signal by the second start port sensor 2401 is in the ON state (the ball has entered the second start port 2004) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is set to the above random number. A second start port passage process such as acquiring from a counter and storing this in the second special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM is executed (step S34).

Next, the main control MPU determines whether or not the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being controlled is set (step S35), and if the jackpot executing flag is set, the control of the jackpot game is performed. The jackpot control process (step S40) for performing the above is executed. In the jackpot control process, the result of the lottery process (result of hit determination and contents of jackpot type) regarding the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped suggests "15R jackpot". The first count sensor detects that 10 game balls B have won a prize in the first prize opening 2005 after opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds). A process of controlling the 15R jackpot game in which the opening / closing pattern of closing the game is repeated 15 times is executed.

Further, in the big hit control process, after performing such open control of the first big winning opening 2005, the time saving flag setting process is executed. The time saving flag is a flag indicating that the time saving control (control executed in the time saving state) is being executed, and is set when the big hit game based on the big hit controlled by the big hit game is finished after the big hit game is finished. It is reset by the first special symbol stop process shown in 220 or the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process process described later. In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the number of time reductions is set so that the time reduction control is terminated when the variation display of the first special symbol is executed five times or the variation display of the second special symbol is executed once. That is, when the time saving control is started after the jackpot game is completed and either the condition of executing the variation display of the first special symbol five times or the variation display of the second special symbol once is satisfied. The time saving control is terminated.

Further, if the big hit executing flag is not set, the main control MPU determines whether or not the small hit executing flag indicating that the small hit game is controlled is set (step S36), and the small hit is executed. If the executing flag is set, the small hit control process (step S41) for controlling the small hit game is executed. In the small hit control process, when the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped is a mode suggesting "small hit", the second big winning opening 2006, which will be described later, Closed after opening the second major winning opening 2006 based on the opening pattern A or opening pattern B, or when it is detected by the second count sensor that 10 game balls B have won in the second major winning opening 2006. Execute the process to make it. In addition, when the game ball B that has won a prize in the second prize opening 2006 and is distributed by the distribution member enters a specific area, the first big prize opening 2005 is opened for a long time by controlling the big hit game (for example). 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor that 10 game balls B have won in the first prize opening 2005, the opening / closing pattern is repeated 15 times to shift to the 15R jackpot game. To do. On the other hand, when the game ball B, which has won a prize in the first big winning opening 2005 and is distributed by the distribution member, does not enter the specific area and enters the discharge area, it is not controlled by the big hit game and is small. After the end of the hit game, the game state (normal state or time saving state) before the small hit game is controlled again.

Further, the main control MPU is a second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area if neither the big hit execution flag nor the small hit execution flag is set. On condition that the value of is "0" (step S37), the first special symbol process process including the lottery process related to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (step S38), and the first (Ii) On condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of the second special random numbers stored in the special symbol hold storage area is not "0" (step S37), when the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is stopped. A second special symbol process process including the lottery process related to the display mode is executed (step S39).

FIG. 210 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first starting port passing process (step S32).

If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3052 is in the ON state and the game ball B has entered the first start port 2002, it is shown in FIG. 210. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S41.

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 acquires a counter value by the first special hold number counter indicating the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol hold storage area from the main control built-in RAM. Based on the counter value, it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number is the maximum value (upper limit value) of "4" (step S42). In the process of step S42, when it is determined that the first reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S43 to S43 to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S45 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S43, the first special hold number counter is counted up (1 addition). Next, as the process of step S44, each random number acquired in step S41 is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Store in.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is a display result of the variation display of the first special symbol based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variation random number acquired in step S41. Whether or not to make a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of the big hit, if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed by the effect display device 1600, or the mode type of the game effect to be executed ( After executing the effect pre-determination process for determining the pre-determination information (type of variation pattern) before starting the variation display according to the start winning prize (step S45), the process ends.

On the other hand, in the process of step S42, when it is determined that the first reserved storage number is the maximum value, the variation display control of the first special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S43 to S45, the variation display control of the first special symbol is not newly put on hold.

Further, when the first hold storage number changes based on the game ball B entering the first start port 2002, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the first special hold number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is first held. In addition to updating to correspond to the number of stored items, a command (commands 0 to 4 for specifying the number of first reserved items) for instructing the number of first reserved items is set in the above storage process (step S20) and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. It is designed to do. The peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 is adapted to display the first reserved storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the first reserved number designation commands 0 to 4.

FIG. 211 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the effect pre-determination process (step S45). When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table (not shown) and the random numbers acquired in step S41, specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, and the fluctuation Whether or not a big hit is achieved by comparing with a random number, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit, and if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600. The mode type of the game effect is specified (step S61).

Then, the specified pre-judgment information (whether or not it is a big hit, the type of the big hit if it is a big hit, and if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600. Depending on the mode type of the game effect to be played, the type of the acquired special random number (first special random number), and the number of reserved storages (value of the pending number counter) stored corresponding to the acquired special random number. Set the pre-judgment command. For example, in the effect pre-determination process relating to the first special symbol executed in step S45 of the first start port passage process, the specified pre-determination information, the acquisition of the first special random number, and the first reserved storage number (first reserved memory number) (1) The value of the special hold number counter) and the first special symbol pre-determination command according to the above are set (step S62).

Then, in the special symbol command control process (step S16), the pre-determination command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, and is stored in correspondence with the first start port 2002 in which the start winning is generated. In addition to the number of reserved memories, whether or not the display result of the variable display of the special symbol based on the generated start prize is a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of big hit, if it is not a big hit, it is executed by the effect display device 1600 Peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 before starting the variable display according to the start winning prize, such as whether to execute the reach effect as the game effect to be performed or the mode type of the game effect to be executed. Will be able to grasp.

When the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the pre-determination command from the main control board 1310, the peripheral control MPU stores the pre-determination information indicated by the received pre-determination command. Specifically, the peripheral control RAM of the peripheral control MPU is provided with a first reserved storage area for storing prior determination information regarding the variation display of the first special symbol.

Further, the first reserved storage area has 1 to 4 storage areas corresponding to the number of reserved storages, and the peripheral control MPU stores the first (earliest) pre-determination information indicated by the received pre-determination command. Store in order from the area. Then, when the pre-judgment command is received when the pre-judgment information is stored in the n-th (n = 1-3) storage area, the pre-judgment information notified to the n + 1-th (n = 1-3) storage area is received. Is stored, and when the first variation pattern command for notifying the start of variation display of the first special symbol is received, the advance stored in the first storage area of the first reserved storage area according to the received first variation pattern command. The judgment information is discarded and the pre-judgment information stored in the Nth (N = 2-4) storage area is moved to the N-1st (N = 2-4) storage area (to the reserved storage area). Shift the stored pre-judgment information). As a result, the pre-determination information of the first special symbol is stored so that the order in which the suspension of the start of the variable display occurs can be specified, and is discarded in order from the earliest pre-determination information.

When the variable display control is put on hold in this way, the jackpot expectation (pseudo-winning probability) of the variable display control is maintained in the unexecuted state (holding state). ) Will be notified in advance at a predetermined timing, for example, when the hold display is newly output or when the hold display is shifted according to the hold digestion. ..

FIG. 212 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the second starting port passing process (step S34).

If it is determined that the second start port sensor 2401 is in the ON state and the game ball B has entered the second start port 2004 in the process of step S33, it is shown in FIG. 212. As described above, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S51.

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and the second hold storage number is the maximum value (upper limit value) based on the counter value. ) Is "4" or not (step S52). In the process of step S52, when it is determined that the second reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S53 to S53 to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into the pending state. The process of S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S53, the second special hold number counter is counted up (1 addition). Next, as the process of step S54, each random number acquired in step S51 is stored in the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Store in.

On the other hand, in the process of step S52, when it is determined that the second reserved storage number is the maximum value, the variation display control of the second special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S53 to S54, the variation display control of the second special symbol is not newly put on hold.

Further, when the second hold storage number changes based on the game ball B entering the second start port 2004, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the second special hold number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is secondly held. In addition to updating to correspond to the number of storages, a command (command 0 to 1 for specifying the number of second holds) for instructing the number of second hold storages is set in the above storage process (step S20) and transmitted to the peripheral control board 4140. It is designed to do. The peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 is adapted to display the second reserved storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the second reserved number designation commands 0 to 4.

FIG. 213 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process process (step S38). The first special symbol process process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process process and the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for determination. Only the first special symbol process process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process process will be described here. In the first special symbol process process, one of the following five process processes is performed according to the first special symbol process flag, provided that the interval timer described later has timed out (YES in step S85). It will be executed selectively. If the interval timer has not timed out (NO in step S85), the process ends without executing the following process.

1. 1. The first special random number stored in the main control built-in RAM is read, and based on the read first special random number, the first special symbol is subjected to lottery processing for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped. Normal processing (step S80)
2. 2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) in which the process of determining the mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped. )
3. 3. The variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the variable random number, and the variation of the effect display executed on the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the first special symbol. First variation pattern setting process (step S82) in which a lottery process or the like for an aspect is performed.
4. First special symbol variation processing (step S83) that waits until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped.
5. The mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped, which is determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped, is displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400. First special symbol stop processing (step S84) to stop the variable display of the first special symbol so as to

The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal process (step S80) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 208).

FIG. 214 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol normal processing (step S80).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 214, first steps S101. As the process of, it is determined whether or not there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, when it is determined that there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state, it is then stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM as the process of step S102. The random number stored in the earliest storage area of the random numbers related to the display mode of the first special symbol (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the variable random number) is stored in the same main control built-in RAM. Read from. Next, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special hold number counter is counted down, and the first special is stored in each storage area of the first special symbol hold storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Random numbers (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable display of the symbol is stopped are shifted in the first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

Specifically, the first special symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas (first special symbol reservation storage area a to first special symbol reservation storage area d), and a start winning prize for the first start port 2002. Random numbers extracted according to the occurrence are stored in order from the first (earliest) area. Then, when a start winning prize occurs when a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1-3) storage area, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1-3) storage area, and the first prize is stored. When the start condition of the variable display based on the random number stored in the storage area of is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the N-1st (N = 2-4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the variable display control hold of the first special symbol occurs is identifiable and stored, and the hold of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest hold (hold that occurred first). become.

Then, as the process of step S105, a hit determination process, which is a lottery process for winning a big hit or a small hit, is performed based on the first special random number of the read first special symbol. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) (step S106), this process ends.

FIG. 215 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the hit determination process (step S105).

The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has a hit determination table shown in FIG. 216 (A) and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 when the first special symbol normal process is being executed, the first (Ii) When the special symbol normal processing is being executed, the comparison is made with the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal processing (step S114).

As shown in FIG. 216 (A), the hit determination table is stored in the main control built-in ROM and is provided for each type of special random number (first special random number, second special random number). Then, in the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the first special random number, three types of hit determination values that match the jackpot determination value indicating that the two types of first special random numbers have won the jackpot and are different from the jackpot determination value. The first special random numbers match the big hit judgment value indicating that the small hit was won, and the first special random numbers match the loss judgment value indicating that the 265 types of first special random numbers are lost. It is associated (big hit probability; 1/135, small hit probability; 3/270). Further, in this example, in the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process, in the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number, two types of second special random numbers are used. It matches the big hit judgment value indicating that the big hit was won, and 113 kinds of second special random numbers different from the big hit judgment value match the small hit judgment value indicating that the small hit was won, and 155 kinds of the second special The second special random numbers are associated with each other so that the random numbers match the loss determination value indicating that the random numbers are lost (big hit probability; 1/135, small hit probability; 113/270). That is, the judgment table referred to for comparison with the second special random number is configured to have a higher probability of being judged as a small hit than the hit judgment table referred for for comparison with the first special random number. , When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 is executed than when the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start prize to the first start port 2002 is executed. It is becoming more advantageous for the player.

The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 uses the hit determination table and the special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing, or the second special read in the second special symbol normal processing. As a result of comparison with the random number), if it is determined to be a big hit (step S115), a big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation has won the big hit is set (step S116), and the hit determination process is completed.

Further, as a result of comparison between the selected hit determination table and the special random number (the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing or the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal processing), When it is determined to be a small hit (step S117), a small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation has won a small hit is set (step S118), and the hit determination process is terminated.

On the other hand, when neither the big hit nor the small hit is won, that is, when it is determined that the hit is lost, the reach determination table is compared with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119).

The reach determination table (not shown) is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and is used when the game state is the time reduction state and the reach determination table in the time reduction state, and the non-time reduction table used when the game state is the non-time reduction state. It is equipped with a reach judgment table for the state. Then, in the reach determination table in the time saving state, the reach is matched with the reach determination value indicating that one type of reach random number is reachable, and is matched with the reach determination value indicating that 71 types of reach random numbers are not reachable. Random numbers are associated with each other.

Further, in the reach determination table in the non-time saving state, it matches the reach determination value indicating that five types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number as the reach random number set in the reach determination table in the time saving state reach. The reach random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the reach determination value indicating that the 67 types of reach random numbers do not reach. As described above, in this embodiment, the reach determination value indicating reach is higher in the non-time saving state than in the time saving state.

When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines that the reach is lost as a result of comparison between the selected reach determination table and the reach random number read in step S102 (step S119), the fluctuation is caused. The reach flag indicating that the reach is reached is set, and the process ends (step S121).

FIG. 217 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 217, first. The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the hit determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S131).

If the jackpot flag is set in step S131, the main control MPU selects the jackpot symbol determination table shown in FIG. 216 (B), and sets the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing. By comparing with the selected jackpot symbol determination table, the jackpot symbol as the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped is determined (step S132).

As shown in FIG. 216 (B), the jackpot symbol determination table is associated with symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) according to the determination result (14R time reduction jackpot, 5R time reduction jackpot). It is remembered. The main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines the type of jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number.

In particular,
1. 1. After opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor that 10 game balls B have won in the first prize opening 2005, the first prize opening 2005 is closed. By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times (14 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to a 14R jackpot game in which the ball B can enter the first prize opening 2005 (easy), and after the jackpot game is completed, the symbol variation of the special symbol is 100. If the next big hit game does not occur before the execution of the game, the state is terminated. The time saving state A is controlled. 14R Time saving big hit A
2. 2. After opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor that 10 game balls B have won in the first prize opening 2005, the first prize opening 2005 is closed. (1 round), after that, after opening the 2nd prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds), or after 10 game balls B have won the 2nd prize opening 2006, the above 2 count sensor By repeating the opening / closing pattern that closes when detected four times (4 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to a 5R jackpot game that allows the ball to enter the first major winning opening 2005 and the second major winning opening 2006 (easy). , After the end of the jackpot game, the state unless the next jackpot game occurs before the variable display of the first special symbol is executed five times or the variable display of the second special symbol is executed once. 5R time saving jackpot A to control to end time saving state B
3. 3. After opening the second prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the second count sensor that 10 game balls B have won in the second prize opening 2006, the second prize opening 2006 is closed. By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times (14 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to a 14R jackpot game in which the ball B can enter the second big winning opening 2006 (easy), and after the jackpot game is completed, the symbol variation of the special symbol is 100. If the next big hit game does not occur before the execution, the state will be terminated. 14R Time saving big hit B to control to the time saving state A
4. After opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or when it is detected by the first count sensor that 10 game balls B have won in the first prize opening 2005, the first prize opening 2005 is closed. (1 round), after that, after opening the 2nd prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds), or after 10 game balls B have won the 2nd prize opening 2006, the above 2 count sensor By repeating the opening / closing pattern that closes when detected four times (4 rounds), the game ball B is controlled to a 5R jackpot game that allows the ball to enter the first major winning opening 2005 and the second major winning opening 2006 (easy). , After the end of the jackpot game, the state unless the next jackpot game occurs before the variable display of the first special symbol is executed five times or the variable display of the second special symbol is executed once. 5R time saving jackpot B to control to end time saving state B

In the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number, 6 judgment values are distributed when the 14R time saving jackpot A is obtained, and 94 judgment values are distributed when the 5R time saving jackpot A is obtained. There is. That is, when a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, there is a 6% probability that the 14R time saving jackpot A will be obtained, and a 94% probability that the 5R time saving jackpot A will be obtained. Similarly, in the jackpot symbol determination table to be compared with the second symbol random number, 58 judgment values are distributed when the 14R time reduction jackpot B is obtained, and 42 judgment values are distributed when the 5R time reduction jackpot B is obtained. ing. That is, when a lottery result of a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the second special random number, there is a 58% probability that the 14R time saving jackpot B will be obtained, and a 42% probability that the 5R time saving jackpot B will be obtained. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the second symbol random number has a higher probability of being determined as a 14R time-saving jackpot than the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number. When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 is executed rather than the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start prize to the first start port 2002. It is in a state that is advantageous to the player.

In addition, when a lottery result for a big hit is obtained, the game state after the big hit game is completed is determined according to the type of the big hit. Then, in the jackpot control process (step S40), after controlling the jackpot game, a process of setting a time reduction flag based on the determination result and a process of setting the time reduction number according to the type of jackpot in the time reduction counter. Will be executed.

Specifically, when it is determined that the jackpots of "14R time saving jackpot A" and "14R time saving jackpot B" have been obtained, a special symbol (first special symbol) is executed after the jackpot game for 14 rounds is executed. When it is judged that the time saving state is controlled until the symbol fluctuation of (the sum of the second special symbol and the second special symbol) is executed 100 times, and the big hits of "5R time saving big hit A" and "5R time saving big hit B" are obtained. After the jackpot game for 5 rounds is executed, the time is controlled until the variation display of the first special symbol is executed 5 times or the variation display of the second special symbol is executed once. In this way, when a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, it is always controlled to a time saving state after the end of the big hit game, and similarly, a lottery result that is a big hit by a lottery based on the second special random number. Even if is obtained, it is always controlled to a time saving state after the end of the big hit game. However, when the big hits of "14R time saving big hit A" and "14R time saving big hit B" are obtained, the big hit game is more than the case where the big hits of "5R time saving big hit A" and "5R time saving big hit B" are obtained. It is controlled to shorten the time for a long time after execution.

If the 14R time-saving jackpot A is determined, the 14R jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined to be the 14R time-saving jackpot A symbol, and if the 5R time-saving jackpot A is determined, the 5R jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is 5R. Time saving jackpot A symbol is decided. Further, when the 14R time saving jackpot B is determined in the second special symbol stop symbol setting process, the 14R time saving jackpot B symbol is determined as the 14R jackpot symbol of the second special symbol, and when the 5R time saving jackpot B is determined, the second special symbol is the first. (Ii) The 5R jackpot symbol of the special symbol is determined to be the 5R time-saving jackpot B symbol.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is determined to be a lost symbol when the jackpot flag is not set (step S136).

Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 determines any of the above lottery results (type of big hit, small hit, reach loss, loss) as the process of step S137. A determination result notification command corresponding to each of the lottery results is set so that the instruction (which may indicate the mode of the stop symbol of the first special symbol) is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. After that, as the process of step S138, this process ends when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

The peripheral control MPU displays and controls the effect display device 1600 based on the received determination result notification command and fluctuation pattern command. On the effect display device 1600, decorative symbols corresponding to the first special symbols on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 are variably displayed. Specifically, in the peripheral control MPU, as a mode (stop symbol) when the variation of the decorative symbol is stopped, when the jackpot is specified from the received determination result notification command, the jackpot symbol (left, middle, right decorative symbol) is displayed. When the same symbol combination of [0] to [8] is determined and the reach loss is specified, the loss symbol with reach (the same symbol with the left and right decorative symbols [0] to [8] is the same. If you decide on a combination of symbols with different middle decoration symbols; reach loss symbol, and identify a loss, at least left and right of the left, middle, and right decorative symbols that do not accompany the reach. It is determined to be a combination in which the decorative symbols of are different symbols), and the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command elapses (at the end of the game effect).

FIG. 218 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first fluctuation pattern setting process (step S82).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first fluctuation pattern setting process should be performed, the jackpot flag is set in the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. 218. If this is done (step S141), the variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of big hit according to the type of big hit determined in step S132 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is selected (step S142), and the reach flag is set. If it is set (step S145), the variation pattern table at the time of reach (not shown) is selected (step S146), and if neither the jackpot flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, a normal loss (reach effect). In the case of loss), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of loss is selected (step S147).

Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S148), and the determined variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (step S149). Further, the main control MPU sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S150). As a result, the fluctuation display control of the first special symbol is performed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 for the fluctuation time determined in this way, and the effect display device 1600 is synchronized with the fluctuation display of the special symbol. The production control will be performed at.

In addition, a plurality of types of fluctuation pattern tables of this example are provided for each determination result based on a special random number (first special random number, second special random number) and a symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). Further, in the fluctuation pattern set in each fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for the fluctuation display control of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is described above. It is stored in a form associated with each variable random number. Then, the main control MPU includes the selected variation pattern table and the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing among the plurality of types of variation pattern tables according to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number. The fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is determined by acquiring the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number from this table. As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the above special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The fluctuation pattern table is stored in the main control built-in ROM.

Further, in the variation pattern table at the time of reach of this example, it is set to determine the mode type of the reach effect to be executed by comparing the determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with the variable random number. .. For example, 164 types of variable random numbers out of 241 types of variable random numbers are set as judgment values (0 to 163) indicating that any of the normal reach effects is executed, and 59 types of variable random numbers are super reach with low jackpot expectation. It is set as a judgment value (164 to 222) indicating that any of the effects is executed, and a judgment value (223 to 240) indicating that 18 types of variable random numbers execute any of the super reach effects with high jackpot expectations. ) Is set. In addition, the super reach effect has a higher expectation of a big hit than the normal reach effect, and for a player who wants to generate a big hit game, the expectation of the player for the big hit game is increased when the super reach effect is executed. It has become.

Further, in the fluctuation pattern table of this example, 13 to 60 seconds is set as the fluctuation time corresponding to the first special random number in the non-time saving state, 4 to 60 seconds is set in the time saving state, and similarly, the second special random number is set. The corresponding fluctuation time is set to 13 to 60 seconds in the non-time saving state and 2 to 60 seconds in the time saving state.

When the variation display control of the first special symbol is started, then, as the process of step S151, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the time reduction counter for which the continuation number of the time reduction state is set is "0". Then, if this counter value is not "0", after counting down the time reduction counter (step S152), it is further determined whether or not the counter value of the simultaneous reduction counter is "0" (step S153). .. As a result, if the counter value is "0", the time saving end flag indicating that the time saving control is terminated is set (step S154).

If the counter value of the time reduction counter is determined to be "0" in the process of step S151, or if the process of step S153 determines that the time reduction counter is not "0", that time point. The process proceeds to step S155. Then, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol variation process (step S83) (step S155), this process is terminated.

FIG. 219 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol variation processing (step S83).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation processing should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 219, first steps S171. As the process of, the fluctuation timer in which the fluctuation time is set according to the fluctuation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the fluctuation pattern is subtracted by 1. Then, when it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, in the process of step S173, this process ends when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

FIG. 220 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop processing should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 220, first steps S181. As the process of, display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the effect display device 1600 is used for the display control. (I) A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol of the special symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S182).

Next, when the time saving end flag is set (step S183), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 resets the time saving end flag (step S184) and resets the time saving flag (step S185). As a result, the time saving control is terminated when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed a predetermined number of times (in this example, 100 times, 1 time, or 5 times). The control of the non-time saving state is started.

Further, when the jackpot flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 sets a jackpot start command indicating to start the jackpot game (step S187), and the jackpot game The waiting time until the start (the time for displaying the start of the jackpot game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Although not shown, in step S188, a process of setting the number of rounds according to the type of jackpot in the jackpot count counter indicating the remaining number of rounds is also executed. The jackpot count counter is subtracted by 1 each time a round is executed in the jackpot control process described later, and when the jackpot count counter becomes "0", it is determined that the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has executed the specified number of rounds. Control to end the jackpot game. Specifically, in the big hit control process described later, the big winning opening pre-opening process (step S91) and the big winning opening opening process (step S92) are repeatedly executed until the big hit count counter becomes "0", and the big winning opening is opened. When the round is completed in the opening processing (step S92), the jackpot counter is subtracted by 1 to become "0", and the process proceeds to the large winning opening post-processing (step S93) to end the jackpot game. Perform control to make it.

Then, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is set (step S189). The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of jackpot. In step S187, a jackpot start command (14R time-saving jackpot A start command, 5R time-saving jackpot A start command) is set according to the type of jackpot (14R time-saving jackpot A, 5R time-saving jackpot A). As a result, the effect of the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot instructed by the jackpot start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Further, in the second special symbol stop processing of the second special symbol process process, the jackpot start command (14R time-saving jackpot B start command, 5R time-saving jackpot B start) according to the type of jackpot (14R time-saving jackpot B, 5R time-saving jackpot B) Command) is set.

Further, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is, specifically, when the jackpot game is terminated, the jackpot is hit in the jackpot control process (step S40) after the jackpot is opened (step S93). After opening / closing control of the first prize opening 2005 according to the type (for example, after opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds), or after opening the first prize opening 2005 for a long time, 10 game balls B win a prize in the first prize opening 2005. When this is detected by the first count sensor, the opening / closing pattern is repeated 14 or 5 times (opening / closing control) is completed (all rounds that can be executed in the jackpot game). By resetting the jackpot executing flag, the jackpot control process (step S40) is not executed in step S35 of the special symbol process process (step S14), while the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 Variable display of the first special symbol and function display The variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the unit 1400 becomes feasible.

Further, when the big hit flag is not set (step S186) and the small hit flag is set (step S190), the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 indicates that the small hit game is started. The small hit start command is set (step S191), and the waiting time until the start of the small hit game (time for displaying the start of the small hit game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S192). Then, the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed is set (step S193). The small hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of small hit. In step S191, the small hit start command (5R small hit A1 start command, 5R small hit A2 start command, 14R small hit) according to the type of small hit (5R small hit A1, 5R small hit A2, 14R small hit A)). A Start command) is set. As a result, the effect of the small hit game according to the type of the small hit instructed by the small hit start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Further, in the second special symbol stop process of the second special symbol process process, the small hit start command (5R small hit B1) according to the type of small hit (5R small hit B1, 5R small hit B2, 14R small hit B)). Start command, 5R small hit B2 start command, 14R small hit B start command) are set.

Further, when the small hit game is finished, the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed is specifically a small hit middle process (step S401) of the small hit control process (step S41) described later. ) To open / close control of the first big winning opening 2005 according to the type of small hit (for example, after opening the first big winning opening 2005 (for example, 1.8 seconds) or after the first big winning opening 2005 has 10 game balls B It is reset when the opening / closing control (opening / closing control) that closes when the winning is detected by the first count sensor is completed. By resetting the small hit execution flag, the small hit control process (step S41) is not executed in step S36 of the special symbol process process (step S14), while the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed. Variable display of the first special symbol on the device and function display The variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the unit 1400 becomes feasible.

In addition, when the small hit flag is not set, that is, when a loss occurs, the waiting time (the time during which the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed) until the next variation display of the special symbol is started is set in the interval timer. (Step S194), the process proceeds to step S195.

When the processes of steps S186 to S194 are executed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 updates the first special symbol process flag so that the process shifts to the initial value of the first special symbol normal process. (Step S195), this process ends.

FIG. 221 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot control process (step S40). In the jackpot control process, one of the following three process processes is selectively executed according to the jackpot process flag.

1. 1. The peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) will shift to the jackpot game based on the fact that the mode when the variable display is stopped is the jackpot symbol. Pre-processing for opening the large winning opening (step S91), which waits until the next round is started.
2. 2. Based on the fact that the mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped is the jackpot symbol, the first major winning opening 2005 and the second major winning opening 2006 are controlled to be open, and the next round is started. After controlling the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 to the open state and opening the first prize opening 2005 and the second prize opening 2006 for a long time (for example, 28.5 seconds) or the first Processing during opening of the large winning opening (step S92) to close when 10 game balls B have been won in the large winning opening 2005 or the second large winning opening 2006 by the first count sensor or the second count sensor.
3. 3. Post-processing after opening the big winning opening, which waits until the peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the big hit game ends when all the rounds are finished (step S93).

The jackpot process flag is operated so as to indicate that the jackpot opening pre-opening process (step S91) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 208). Further, in the above-mentioned processing during opening of the big winning opening (step S92), at the start of a round for controlling the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 in the open state, a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds is issued. At the end of the round that controls the first big winning opening 2005 and the second big winning opening 2006 in the closed state, a big hit round end command is set according to the number of rounds. The jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command are commands transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the effect of the jackpot game according to the number of rounds instructed by the jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command is displayed. It is executed by the device 1600, a lamp / LED, a speaker, and the like.

FIG. 222 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the small hit control process (step S41). In the small hit process, one of the following two process processes is selectively executed according to the small hit process flag.

1. 1. Small hit start process (step S400) to execute the setting process for starting the small hit game
2. 2. Small hit medium processing (step S401) for monitoring the entry and opening time of the game ball B during the small hit game.

The small hit process flag is operated to indicate that the small hit start process (step S400) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 208). In addition, when the entry of the game ball B into a specific area is detected in the small hit middle processing, the big hit executing flag is set, and the number of rounds that can be executed in the big hit game according to the type of small hit (5R small). 4 rounds for hits, 13 rounds for 14R small hits) are set in the big hit count counter, and the process ends. As a result, the big hit game is started following the small hit game.

FIG. 223 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol process process (step S15).

Now, assuming that the detection signal by the gate sensor 2801 is in the ON state in the process of step S801 and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate portion 2003, as shown in FIG. 223, the above As the process of step S802, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs a gate passage process such as acquiring a normal random number of a normal symbol from the random number counter and storing it in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM. Execute.

Next, in the normal symbol process process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag.

1. 1. A normal symbol normal process (step S803) in which a normal random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU is read, and a lottery process for displaying the display mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped is performed based on the read normal random number.
2. 2. Normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination process (step S804) in which a lottery process is performed for the fluctuation mode (variation time) of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the normal symbol fluctuation random number.
3. 3. Normal symbol fluctuation processing (step S805) that waits until the fluctuation display of the above normal symbol on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped.
4. The mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped, which is determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped, is displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Normal symbol stop processing (step S806) to stop the variable display of the symbol
5. When the result of the lottery process for the mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped is a mode suggesting "hit a normal figure", the process of controlling the acceptance of the game ball B into the second starting port 2004 is performed. Ordinary electric accessory opening process to be executed (step S807)

The normal symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the normal symbol normal process (step S803) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 208).

FIG. 224 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the gate portion passing process (step S802).

Now, assuming that in the process of step S801, the detection signal by the gate sensor 2801 is in the ON state and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate portion 2003, as shown in FIG. 224. As the process of step S811, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first acquires a counter value by a normal hold number counter indicating the number of normal random numbers stored in the normal symbol hold storage area from the RAM of the main control MPU. .. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved storages of the normal symbol is "4", which is the maximum value.

In the process of step S811, when it is determined that the reserved storage number of the normal symbol is not the maximum value, the following steps S812 to S814 are set in order to newly put the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol into the hold state. Will be processed. That is, first, as the process of step S812, the normal hold number counter is counted up (1 addition). Next, as the process of step S813, the ordinary random number and the normal random number are acquired from the random number counter. Next, as the process of step S814, each random number thus acquired is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal hold number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU.

However, in the process of step S811, when it is determined that the reserved storage number of the ordinary symbol is the maximum value, the variation display control of the ordinary symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by not executing the processes of steps S812 to S814 (the above-mentioned ordinary random number and the above-mentioned ordinary figure variation random number are not acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter), the variation display control of the above-mentioned ordinary symbol is not newly put on hold.

The gate portion passing process (step S802) may be performed by another example described below. For example, assuming that the detection signal by the gate sensor 2801 is in the ON state and it is determined that the game ball B has passed through the gate unit 2003, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first determines the above. The ordinary random number and the above-mentioned normal random number are acquired from the above-mentioned random number counter and stored in the temporary storage area. After that, the counter value by the normal hold number counter is acquired from the RAM of the main control MPU, and based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the hold storage number of the normal symbol is the maximum value "4". Do. Then, when it is determined that the hold storage number of the normal symbol is not the maximum value, the normal hold number counter is counted up (1 addition) in order to put the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol into a new hold state. ), Then, the above-mentioned ordinary random number and the above-mentioned ordinary-figure variable random number (the above-mentioned ordinary random number stored in the provisional storage area and the above-mentioned ordinary-figure variable random number) are stored in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU. It is stored in the normal symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the above-mentioned normal hold number counter. On the other hand, as a result of acquiring the counter value by the normal hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU, when it is determined that this counter value is "4" which is the maximum value (the hold storage number of the normal symbol is the hold storage number). In the case of the maximum value), the previously acquired ordinary random number and the ordinary symbol fluctuation random number are discarded without being stored in the ordinary symbol hold storage area, and the variation display control of the acquired ordinary symbol is newly performed. You may decide not to put it on hold.

FIG. 225 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol normal processing (step S803).

When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal processing should be performed, as shown in FIG. 225, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the processing of step S821. Based on the counter value of the normal hold number counter, it is determined whether or not there is variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state. As a result, when it is determined that there is a variation display control of the normal symbol in the hold state, the normal symbol is normally stored in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU as the process of step S822. The random number stored in the earliest storage area among the random numbers (for example, ordinary random numbers and ordinary random numbers) related to the display mode of the symbol is read from the RAM. Next, as the processing of steps S823 and S824, when the normal hold number counter is counted down and the variation display of the normal symbol stored in each storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU is stopped. Random numbers (ordinary random numbers, random numbers that fluctuate in the normal figure) related to the display mode in

Specifically, the normal symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and random numbers extracted according to the passage of the game ball B to the gate portion 2003 are extracted from the first (earliest) area. Memorize in order. Then, when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003 when the random number is stored in the nth (n = 1-3) storage area, the random number extracted in the n + 1th (n = 1-3) storage area. Is stored, and when the start condition of the variable display based on the random number stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) is stored. Various random numbers stored in the area are moved to the N-1st (N = 2-4) th storage area. As a result, the order in which the fluctuation display control hold of the normal symbol occurs can be identifiable and stored, and the hold of the fluctuation display control is released in order from the earliest hold (hold that occurred first). ..

Next, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 compares the normal figure hit determination table shown in FIG. 226 (A) with the ordinary random numbers read in step S822 (step S828).

The normal figure hit determination table shown in FIG. 226 (A) is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU. Then, in the normal figure hit determination table referred to for comparison with the ordinary random numbers, the above ordinary random numbers are set so as to match the normal figure hit judgment values indicating that all 10 types of ordinary random numbers have been won per normal figure. It is associated. That is, in this example, when the game ball B passes through the gate portion 2003, the player always wins the game.

When the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is determined to be a normal figure hit as a result of comparison between the normal figure hit determination table and the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S829), A flag per normal symbol is set to indicate that the fluctuation is won per normal symbol (step S830), and the symbol per normal symbol is determined as the mode (stop symbol of the normal symbol) when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped. (Step S831). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S829 that the normal symbol is not hit, the normal symbol is determined to be a normal symbol lost symbol as the mode (stop symbol of the normal symbol) when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped (step S833).

Then, after the lottery process for the normal symbol is performed in this way, as the process of step S834, a lottery is performed so that these lottery results (instructing either a normal figure hit or a loss) are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Set the general map judgment result notification command according to each result. After that, as the process of step S835, this process ends when the above-mentioned ordinary symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the above-mentioned ordinary symbol variation pattern determination process (step S804).

FIG. 227 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (step S804). When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol variation pattern determination process should be performed, the time saving flag is set in the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. 227. If (step S841), the normal symbol variation pattern determination table at the time reduction time is selected (step S842), and if the time reduction flag is set (step S841), the normal symbol variation pattern determination table at the non-time reduction time is selected. (Step S843).

Then, the fluctuation pattern of the normal symbol (normal symbol fluctuation pattern) to be executed is determined by comparing the selected normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table with the normal symbol fluctuation random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing (step S844). ), Set the normal symbol variation pattern command to notify the peripheral control board 1510 of the start of the normal symbol variation in the determined normal symbol variation pattern, and display the variation of the normal symbol displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Is started (step S845).

Further, when the main control MPU determines the normal map fluctuation pattern, the normal map fluctuation time corresponding to the determined normal map fluctuation pattern is set in the normal map fluctuation timer (step S846). As a result, the effect control is performed on the normal symbol display (variation display of the normal symbol in) of the function display unit 1400 only for the normal map fluctuation time according to the determined normal symbol fluctuation pattern.

Further, in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table in the non-time saving time of this example, 20 seconds is set as the normal symbol fluctuation time. On the other hand, in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table during the time reduction of this example, the normal symbol fluctuation time is 0.8 seconds so that the normal symbol fluctuation time is shorter than that of the normal symbol fluctuation pattern determination table during the non-time reduction. Is set. The normal symbol variation pattern determination table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU.

Further, when the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol is started, the process shifts to the normal symbol variation process (step S805) as the process of step S847, and when the above-mentioned normal symbol process flag is updated, this process is performed. End the process.

FIG. 228 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol variation processing (step S805). When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol variation process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first, as the process of step S851, as shown in FIG. 228. The normal map fluctuation timer for which the normal map fluctuation time is set in step S846 is subtracted by 1. Then, when it is determined that the normal symbol fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol has elapsed (step S852), the process proceeds to step S853. That is, in the process of step S853, this process ends when the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S806).

FIG. 229 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol stop process (step S806).

When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol stop process should be performed, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 first performs the process of step S861 as shown in FIG. 229. The display control for displaying the stop symbol of the normal symbol determined by the normal symbol normal processing on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the derivation display of the stop symbol of the first special symbol is notified. The normal figure stop display command to be performed is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S862).

Next, when the above-mentioned normal figure hit flag is set (step S863), the second start port according to the current gaming state is used by using the normal figure hit open pattern table shown in FIG. 226 (B). The opening pattern of 2004 is set (step S864).

Specifically, if the second starting port 2004 is controlled in a non-time saving state at the start of opening, the opening pattern A is set as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004. That is, if the second starting port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time saving state at the start of opening, the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed when a lottery result that is a normal figure is obtained by a lottery based on ordinary random numbers. The opening pattern A is executed in which the starting port solenoid 2514 is turned on and the second starting port 2004 opens and closes in a short opening mode (0.05 seconds in this example). As a result, when the opening pattern A is executed as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004, the opening operation time of the second starting port 2004 is short, and the game ball is in the open state when the second starting port 2004 is in the open state. It is difficult to get the ball in. That is, in the non-time saving state, even if the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed, the game ball hardly enters.

On the other hand, if the time is controlled to be shortened at the start of opening the second starting port 2004, the opening pattern B is set as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004. That is, if the second starting port 2004 is controlled to be in a non-time saving state at the start of opening, the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed when a lottery result that is a normal figure is obtained by a lottery based on ordinary random numbers. The opening pattern B is executed in which the starting port solenoid 2514 is turned on and the second starting port 2004 opens and closes in a long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example). As a result, when the opening pattern B is executed as the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004, the opening operation of the second starting port 2004 is long, and the game ball is in the open state when the second starting port 2004 is in the open state. It is possible to enter the ball.

When the opening pattern of the second start port 2004 is set, next, as the process of step S885, a normal figure hit start command indicating that the game per normal figure is started is set, and the normal symbol process flag is set to the normal electric accessory. This process ends when the process is updated so that the process shifts to the release process (step S866). The normal figure hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the effect of the normal figure hit game according to the type of the normal figure hit instructed by the normal figure hit start command is produced by the effect display device 1600. It can be performed by lamps, LEDs, speakers, etc.

Further, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 has updated the normal symbol process flag so that the process shifts to the normal symbol normal process, which is the initial value, when the normal symbol hit flag is not set in step S864. At this point (step S868), this process ends.

FIG. 230 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the ordinary electric accessory opening process (step S807).

Now, if it is determined in the process of step S871 that the second starting port 2004 is in the open state, as shown in FIG. 230, as shown in FIG. 230, the main of the main control board 1310. If a predetermined time (opening time of the second starting port 2004 in the opening pattern set in step S865) has elapsed after controlling the second starting port 2004 to the open state (step S872), the control MPU second. This process ends when the start port solenoid 2514 that opens and closes the start port 2004 is turned off and the second start port 2004 is controlled to be closed (step S873).

Further, if it is determined in the process of step S871 that the second starting port 2004 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 230, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 is the second starting port 2004. (Step S874), when the start port solenoid 2514 for opening and closing the second start port 2004 is turned on and the second start port 2004 is controlled to be in the open state (step S875), this End the process.

Further, in the process of step S871, if it is not the timing to open the second starting port 2004, as shown in FIG. 230, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 opens the second starting port 2004. When the number of times reaches a predetermined number of times (the number of times the second start port 2004 is opened in the opening pattern set in step S865) (step S876), the end command per normal figure is set (step S877). Then, when the normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the normal symbol normal process which is the initial value (step S878), this process ends. In addition, the end command for hitting a normal figure is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the end command for hitting a normal figure, the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, etc. are used to produce the game per normal figure. Can be terminated.

[11. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, the processing executed by the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 will be described. FIG. 231 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the control performed by the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 231, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU performs the initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM built in the peripheral control MPU mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) is completed, the loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 mS progress flag T is set is started (step S502).

In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU generates an interrupt every 2 mS elapses and executes a 2 mS steady-state process. In the 2mS steady processing, the processing of counting up the 16mS progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16mS progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16mS progress monitoring counter becomes 8, that is, when 16 mS has elapsed, 16 mS has elapsed. Along with setting the flag T, the process of resetting (setting 0) the 16 mS progress monitoring counter is executed. As described above, the 16 mS progress flag T is set (set) to "1" every 16 mS in the 2 mS steady processing, and is usually set (reset) to "0". When the 16 mS progress flag is set in step S502 (16 mS progress flag T is "1"), after resetting the 16 mS progress flag (step S503), 16 mS steady processing is performed (step S504).

In this 16 mS steady processing, a process of controlling the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like is executed based on the command received from the main control board 1310. When the 16 mS steady processing is completed, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 mS progress flag T is set, that is, every 16 mS. On the other hand, when the 16 mS progress flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 mS progress flag T is “0”), the loop process is performed until the 16 mS progress flag T is set.

FIG. 232 is a flowchart showing an example of 16 mS steady-state processing executed every 16 mS in the sub-main process. In the 16 mS steady-state process, the peripheral control MPU executes the processes of steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process of step S601, the command received from the main control board 1310 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the variation pattern command transmitted by being set in the variation pattern setting process (step S149 of the first variation pattern setting process, step S149a of the second variation pattern setting process) is received. Therefore, the control process related to the effect display device 1600 is executed.

Further, in the sound control process of step S603, the control process related to the speaker provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, the control process related to the lamp / LED provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process of step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to various decorative substrates 184, 273 and the like is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating the random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

The processing of steps S601 to S606 in the 16mS steady processing is completed within 16mS. Even if it takes 16 mS or more from the start of the 16 mS steady process to the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is immediately started from the beginning when 16 mS elapses from the start of the 16 mS steady process (command of step S601). Do not execute (from the analysis process). That is, when 16 mS elapses during the execution of the 16 mS steady process, only the 16 mS elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 mS elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 mS steady process, the 16 mS steady process is performed. To start.

Further, in this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) is executed in the 16 mS steady state process to update various random numbers, but the timing (timing) for updating various random numbers is limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, various random numbers may be updated in either or both of the loop processing and the 16mS steady processing in the sub-main processing.

FIG. 233 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect control process (step S602).

In the effect control process, the peripheral control MPU selectively executes one of the following five process processes according to the effect process flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510. Will be done.

1. 1. Fluctuation pattern command that indicates the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) analyzed by the above command analysis process (first variation pattern command that indicates the variation pattern of the first special symbol, second After performing processing to control the effect display device 1600, LED, speaker, etc. based on the second variation pattern command) that indicates the variation pattern of the special symbol, the effect process flag is set to a value corresponding to the process during the variation effect. Variable production start processing to be changed (step S711)
2. 2. The elapsed time from the start of control of the effect display device 1600, the LED, the speaker, etc. is measured, and processing is performed to control the effect display device 1600, the LED, the speaker, etc. according to the elapsed time, and a special symbol (No. 1) (1) Special symbol, 2nd special symbol) Variable effect processing (step S712) that changes the effect process flag to a value corresponding to the variation end process according to the elapse of the variation time according to the variation pattern.
3. 3. Processing for deriving and displaying a predetermined display result based on the reception of the stop display command instructing to stop the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol), and if there is a loss, the above effect Change the process flag to a value according to the variable effect start process, change it to a value according to the big hit effect process if it is a big hit, and change it to a value according to the small hit effect process if it is a small hit. (Step S713)
4. Based on the reception of the jackpot start command instructing the start of the jackpot game, the effect display device 1600 performs a process for executing display control during the jackpot game, and changes the above effect process flag when the jackpot game ends. Big hit effect processing (step S714) to change the value according to the effect start process
5. Based on the reception of the small hit start command instructing the start of the small hit game, the effect display device 1600 performs a process for executing the display control during the small hit game, and the second big winning opening during the small hit game. If the game ball B accepted in 2006 is distributed to a specific area, the above-mentioned effect process flag is changed to a value corresponding to the big hit effect start process when the small hit game is ended, and the game ball B is distributed to the specific area. If not, the small hit effect process (step S715) is changed to a value corresponding to the variable effect start process.

Special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) executed by the special symbol display (first special symbol display of function display unit 1400, second special symbol display of function display unit 1400) by the above processing. The effect display device 1600 executes the variation display of the decorative symbol in synchronization with the variation display of.

[10. Fluctuation control at the end of time reduction control]
As described above, the opening / closing control of the second starting port 2004 is performed in the time saving state with an opening pattern different from that in the non-time saving state. That is, if the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped and the time is shortened, the opening pattern A in the short opening mode (0.05 seconds in this example) is used for the second start port 2004. If the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped and the non-time saving state is reached, the second opening pattern B in the long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example) is used. The starting port 2004 is opened and closed.

In this way, in order to change the opening pattern of the second starting port 2004 based on the time when the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped, immediately before the end of the time saving state (for example, the number of time saving times). In the case of the time saving state A of 100 times, the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is displayed at the time immediately before the 100th variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped in the time saving state. When the normal symbol fluctuation executed in is stopped and the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed, the second starting port 2004 is opened and closed in the opening pattern B of the long opening mode (1.5 seconds in this example) as a time saving state. Will be done. Further, when the time saving state ends after the second starting port 2004 is opened, the player may feel uncomfortable because the opening pattern in the time saving state is executed even though the time saving state has ended. In addition, a start prize may be given to the second start port 2004 at an unexpected time such as after the symbol change is started in the non-time reduction state after the end of the time reduction state, which is not intended by the game designer. Behavior (In the non-time saving state, the fluctuation display of the first special symbol is mainly executed and the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is hardly executed, but the second starting port 2004 is reached despite the non-time saving state. The start prize is generated and the change display of the second special symbol is executed), and the game progresses, and the behavior gives the player a sense of discomfort, which may lead to a decrease in the interest of the game.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the special symbol that is variablely displayed on the special symbol display (first special symbol display, second special symbol display) of the function display unit 1400 is stopped at a lost symbol (for example, the first). (1) Special symbol stop processing step S194), normally, "0.5 seconds" is set in the interval timer as the waiting time (time during which the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed) until the next special symbol variation display is started. set. As described above, the interval timer is referred to in the first special symbol process process (step S28) and the second special symbol process process (step S39), and the special symbol display (first) of the function display unit 1400 is used until the interval timer times out. (I) Control so that the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the special symbol display (second special symbol display) is not started.

In addition, when the time saving state is ended, that is, when the symbol fluctuation of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) after the big hit game reaches the time saving number of times, and the symbol fluctuation is stopped (time saving). When the last symbol change in the state is stopped), "2 seconds" is set in the interval timer as the waiting time (the time when the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed) until the next special symbol change display is started. set. As described above, in the time saving state, the second starting port 2004 is changed to the open state, and then the second starting port 2004 is changed to the closed state when 1.5 seconds have elapsed. Therefore, by setting "2 seconds" in the interval timer when the last symbol change in the time-saving state stops and the time-saving state ends, the symbol change of the special symbol in the non-time-saving state is started before the start. (Ii) The starting port 2004 can be changed to the closed state, and thereby it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a starting prize for the second starting port 2004 after the symbol variation of the special symbol in the non-time saving state is started.

The period set in the interval timer when the last symbol fluctuation in the time-saving state stops and the time-saving state ends is at least equivalent to the opening time of the second major winning opening 2006 in the time-saving state (in this example, "1. It may be 5 seconds or more. Also, if the second big winning opening 2006 has not changed to the open state when the last symbol change in the time saving state is stopped and the time saving state is finished, it is set as a waiting time until the next special symbol change display is started. The same time as usual (“0.5 seconds” in this example) may be set.

In this way, when the final special lottery result in the time-saving state is derived (when the last symbol change in the time-saving state stops), regardless of the presence or absence of the first hold number and the second hold number, the predetermined period By suppressing the execution of the next special lottery (winning judgment) over a period of time, the time saving control that can be continued after the last special lottery result in the time saving state is derived (after the last symbol change in the time saving state is stopped). Is completed within the predetermined period, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of second holds after the end of the time saving control. As a result, the game proceeds in an unintended behavior of the game designer, in which a start winning prize is generated in the second start port 2004 and the variation display of the second special symbol is executed even in the non-time saving state. Since it can be prevented and the game progress (the game property intended by the game designer) can be suitably realized in the behavior intended by the game designer, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest by not giving the player a sense of discomfort. ..

In the above example, the determination of whether or not the time reduction state is performed (determination of whether or not the time reduction state is terminated) is performed when the normal symbol fluctuation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped. Although what is performed as a reference is shown, when the normal symbol variation executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (for example, the above-mentioned normal symbol normal process (step S803)). Is executed, or when the normal symbol variation pattern determination process (S804) is executed) may be used as a reference. In this case, at least, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol fluctuation (normal symbol fluctuation time: "0.8 seconds" in this example) executed by the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 during the time reduction state, and the time reduction state. The opening time of the second prize opening 2006 (“1.5 seconds” in this example) and the total period (“2.3 seconds” in this example) may be equal to or longer than the total period.

[12. Production in an advantageous state]
[12-1. Pachinko machine specifications]
First, an example of the specifications of the pachinko machine 1 in this chapter will be described. FIG. 234 (A) is an example of a hit probability table, and FIG. 234 (B) is an example of a big hit distribution table. The hit probability table and the jackpot distribution table are stored in, for example, the ROM of the main control MPU.

Hereinafter, the first special symbol is also referred to as special figure 1, and the second special symbol is also referred to as special figure 2. In addition, the first special symbol and the second special symbol are collectively called a special symbol. In addition, the first special symbol variation and the second special symbol variation are collectively referred to as special symbol variation or simply variation. The special lottery results in Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2 include big hits and small hits.

The hit probability table includes a jackpot probability in a low probability state (that is, a non-probability state) and a high probability state (that is, a probability change state), and a small hit probability (no distinction between a low probability state and a high probability state). To define. The jackpot probability is common to Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2. Further, the hit probability table defines the small hit probability in the special figure 2. That is, according to the hit probability table of FIG. 234, a small hit is won with a high probability at the time of winning the special figure 2. In addition, from the prize in Special Figure 1, the small hit is not won, or the probability of winning is extremely low (for example, 1/300 or less) as compared with Special Figure 2.

In this chapter, when a small hit is won, the first big winning opening 2005 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern of closing is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice).

The jackpot distribution table defines the distribution of jackpot types when a jackpot is won for each of the special figures 1 and 2. "2R", "8R", and "16R" in the jackpot type indicate the number of rounds of the jackpot, and "low probability time saving", "high probability time saving", and "high probability time saving" indicate the jackpot. Indicates the game state that shifts after the end.

In addition, "Special Figure 1_8R Low Definite Time Shortening Symbol 1", "Special Figure 1_8R Low Definite Time Shortening Symbol 2", "Special Figure 1_8R Low Definite Time Shortening Symbol 3", "Special Figure 2_2R Low Definite Time Shortening Symbol 1", The number of time reductions of "Special Figure 2_2R Low Accuracy Time Saving Symbol 2", "Special Figure 2_2R Low Accuracy Time Saving Symbol 3", and "Special Figure 2_2R High Accuracy Time Saving Symbol 3" is 10 times, and "Special Figure 2_2R High" The number of time reductions of "Probable time reduction symbol 1" is 7 times, and the number of time reductions of "Special figure 2_2R Low probability reduction time symbol 2" is 9 times.

The number of time reductions is the number of fluctuations that triggers the end of the time reduction state that starts after the end of the jackpot game. That is, after entering the time saving state, the time saving state ends when the fluctuation of the number of times determined by the time saving number ends. The number of time reductions may be determined by the total number of fluctuations of the special figures 1 and 2, or may be determined by the number of fluctuations of one of the special figures. In this chapter, it is assumed that the number of time reductions is determined by the number of fluctuations in Special Figure 2. That is, for example, in the time saving state that shifts after the big hit of "Special Figure 2_2R High Accuracy Time Saving Symbol 1", even if the total number of fluctuations of Special Figure 1 and Special Figure 2 reaches 7, the fluctuation of Special Figure 2 If has not finished 7 times, it shall not finish.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this chapter, the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are individually changed according to the extraction of the special random number, and the changes of the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 are started. Display and display can be executed at the same time (simultaneous fluctuation of special symbols). When both the first special random number and the second special random number are stored (held), the reserved special random numbers are individually digested according to the progress of the variable display of the individual special random numbers.

That is, when the fluctuating first special symbol is stopped, the fluctuation of the first special symbol held in the first special symbol storage display is started, and when the fluctuating second special symbol is stopped, the second special symbol is stopped. The change of the second special symbol held in the storage display is started. Further, since the special figure 1 and the special figure 2 can be changed at the same time, the effect display device 1600 displays the decorative symbols so as to change at the same time in response to the change of each special symbol.

When either the special figure 1 or the special figure 2 is stopped in the display mode indicating a big hit, any of the following processes is performed as the process for the other special figure during the simultaneous fluctuation. .. As a first processing example, the jackpot game by one special figure is controlled, and the fluctuation of the other special figure is deleted (forcibly stopped by coming off). In this case, even after the jackpot game is completed, the change of the other special figure that has been deleted is not restarted, and the change of the next special figure of the other is started.

As a second processing example, the jackpot game by one special figure is controlled, and the lapse of the fluctuation time of the other special figure is temporarily stopped during the execution of the jackpot game. During the execution of the jackpot game, the special figure whose fluctuation is stopped is displayed, for example, blinking on the special symbol display (displayed in a mode different from when the game is not paused (the player can recognize that the player is paused)). Will be done. Then, after the jackpot game is completed, the fluctuation display of the other special figure, which has been suspended, is resumed from the remaining fluctuation time. As a third processing example, the big hit game by one special figure is controlled, the fluctuation time of the other special figure is reset, and the change of the other special figure is started again after the end of the big hit game.

In this chapter, the high-accuracy non-time saving state is a state in which it is easy to obtain a small hit ball (so-called small hit rush). Hereinafter, an example of specifications for realizing a small hit rush only in a high-accuracy non-time saving state will be described.

First, the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol, the ordinary lottery probability, and the like will be described. The fluctuation time of the normal symbol is, for example, about 1 second in both the time-saving state and the non-time-saving state, which is shorter than the fluctuation time of the special symbol fluctuation. Further, in both the time-saving state and the non-time-saving state, the probability of a normal hit is very high (for example, 1/1) in the normal lottery result performed by the game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003. Further, the opening time of the second starting port 2004 when the normal symbol is won is long (for example, about 6 seconds) in the time-saving state and short (for example, about 0.7 seconds) in the non-time-saving state.

Subsequently, the game method in each state will be described. As described above, the probability of winning a small hit in the second special symbol lottery is extremely high as compared with the first special symbol lottery (54552/65536 in the example of FIG. 234 (A)). Therefore, in the low probability non-time saving state, the second starting port 2004 is opened by passing the game ball B through the gate portion 2003, and the game ball B is made to enter the second starting port 2004, and a small hit with a high probability. Can be elected.

However, in the low probability non-time saving state, the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 is very long as compared with the fluctuation time of the special figure 1. Specifically, for example, the shortest fluctuation time (for example, about 10 minutes) of the special figure 2 is longer than the longest fluctuation time of the special figure 1 (for example, about 5 minutes). Therefore, the time interval between winning the small hit and opening the first big winning opening 2005 is very long, and the opening and closing time of the first big winning opening 2005 in the small hit game is short and the number of times of opening and closing is small. Even if the variation of the special figure 2 is executed, it is difficult to put the game ball B into the first large winning opening 2005 at the right time during the small hit game.

Specifically, the total opening time of the first big winning opening 2005 in the small hit game is shorter than the opening time of the second starting opening 2004 in the time saving state. For example, a small hit game in which the first big winning opening 2005 opens for about 0.5 seconds and then closes for about 1.35 seconds only once, or the first big winning opening 2005 is 0.5. There is a small hit game in which the first pattern is executed once after the second pattern of opening for about seconds and then closing for about 0.7 seconds is repeated twice.

Even if the game ball B can be put into the first prize opening 2005 at the right time during the small hit game, the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 is very long, so the ball can be obtained per unit time. In addition, the game cannot proceed smoothly. Therefore, in the low probability non-time saving state, the player in principle left-hands and advances the game so that the game ball B enters the first starting port 2002.

On the other hand, in the time saving state (low accuracy time saving state and high accuracy time saving state), the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 is set short. Specifically, for example, the fluctuation time (for example, about 1 second) of the shortened deviation fluctuation (variation in which the reach effect is not executed) of the special figure 2 is set shorter than the shortest fluctuation time (for example, about 4 seconds) of the special figure 1. If the deviation fluctuation starts in the state where the special figure 2 is held in the time saving state, the shortened deviation fluctuation is selected at a high rate (for example, about 90%). Therefore, in the time-saving state, the player executes a so-called right-handed hit and advances the game so as to allow the game ball B to enter the second starting port 2004, thereby smoothly without reducing the number of balls. The game can proceed.

Here, since the second starting port 2004 is downstream of the gate portion 2003 in the flow path of the game ball B on the game board 5, most of the game balls B heading for the second starting port 2004 are the second starting port 2004. Passes through the gate section 2003 before reaching. Further, the first big winning opening 2005 opened during the small hit game is downstream of the second starting opening 2004 in the flow path of the game ball B on the game board 5. When the second starting port 2004 is in the open state, the game ball B heading for the first winning opening 2005 enters the second starting opening 2004 and does not reach the first winning opening 2005. That is, in order for the game ball B to enter the first large winning opening 2005, the game ball B needs to pass over the second starting port 2004 when the second starting port 2004 is in the closed state.

However, in the short-time state, the opening time of the second starting port 2004 is long (for example, about 6 seconds) when a normal hit is won, so the game heading toward the first major winning opening 2005 of the right-handed game ball B. Most of the balls B enter the open second starting port 2004 and do not reach the first big winning opening 2005. Therefore, in the time saving state, the player can insert the game ball B into the second starting port 2004 and win the small hit frequently, but cannot obtain the ball output by the small hit game. .. Further, since the number of prize balls when the game ball B enters the second starting port 2004 is, for example, one, in the time saving state, the special figure 2 fluctuation can be executed with almost no reduction in the number of balls to be ejected. It is difficult to increase the number of balls.

Further, since the first big winning opening 2005 is arranged at a position where there is almost no game ball B that reaches the first big winning opening 2005 when a so-called left-handed hit is made, the first big winning opening 2005 is left-handed during the time saving state. We also take care of so-called capture acts that try to increase the number of game balls B by alternately repeating right-handed hits.

Subsequently, in the high-accuracy non-time-saving state, the fluctuation time of the special figure 2 is set short (for example, about 1 second) as in the time-saving state. Therefore, in the high-accuracy non-time-saving state, the player executes a so-called right-handed hit to advance the game so that the game ball B enters the second starting port 2004. Further, in the high-accuracy non-time saving state, the opening time of the second starting port 2004 in the case of winning a normal hit is sufficient time for the game ball B to enter the second starting port 2004, and is short ( For example, about 0.7 seconds), so a considerable number (for example, more than half) of the right-handed game balls B pass over the closed second starting port 2004 and the first big winning opening. Reach 2005.

That is, in the high-accuracy non-time saving state, the player can enter the game ball B into the second starting port 2004 to frequently win a small hit, and can obtain a ball output by the small hit game. According to the above-mentioned specifications, it is possible to realize a small hit rush that makes it easy to obtain a ball with a small hit only in a highly accurate non-time saving state.

FIG. 235 is a transition diagram showing an example of the game state transition of the pachinko machine 1 of this chapter. As described above, the variation of the special figure 1 is executed in the low probability non-time saving state, and the variation of the special figure 2 is executed in the state other than the low probability non-time saving state, so that the player can smoothly proceed with the game. Can be done. On the other hand, the transition from the low probability non-time saving state to the special figure 2 jackpot and the transition from the state other than the low probability non-time saving state to the special figure 1 big hit are irregular, so they are shown by dotted lines in FIG. 235. ing.

In any state, if a jackpot is won, the player shifts to either a low probability time saving state, a high probability time saving state, or a high probability non-time saving state according to the jackpot type. In the low-probability time-saving state, when the fluctuation of the number of time-savings specified by the jackpot type that triggered the transition to the low-probability time-saving state is completed, the state shifts to the low-probability non-time-saving state. In addition, in the high-accuracy time-saving state, when the fluctuation of the number of time-savings specified by the jackpot type that triggered the transition to the high-accuracy time-saving state is completed, the high-accuracy non-time-saving state, that is, the small hit rush Transition.

At first glance, the transition from the high-accuracy time-saving state to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state seems to be a disadvantageous state transition for the player, but as described above, the small hit rush is realized in the high-accuracy non-time-saving state, which is advantageous for the player. It is a state transition. Therefore, when the high-accuracy time-saving state ends by digesting the fluctuation of the special figure 2 determined by the time-saving number of times, the player can rather obtain an uplifting feeling without deteriorating his interest.

[12-2. Rush rush chance production]
Hereinafter, the rush rush effect, which is an effect executed from the start of the time reduction state (high accuracy time reduction state and low accuracy time reduction state), will be described. The rush rush chance effect is to notify that the current state is the time-saving state but it is unknown whether it is the high-probability time-saving state or the low-probability time-saving state at the start of the time-saving state. It is an effect of notifying whether the state is a high-accuracy time-saving state (that is, a state of shifting to a high-accuracy non-time-saving state, which is a small hit rush state after the end of the specified number of special 2 fluctuations) or a low-accuracy time-saving state. ..

236, 237, and 238 are explanatory views showing an example of a rush rush chance effect. In FIGS. 236, 237, and 238, an example will be described in which the number of time reductions is 10 and all the fluctuations in the time reduction state are out-of-time fluctuations.

(A) is a state in which the time-saving big hit has been completed. The same decorative symbol indicating a big hit is stopped on the effect display device 1600. It should be noted that the expected value of the winning balls at the time of winning the big hit is higher in the order of low probability time saving big hit, high probability time saving big hit, and high probability time short no big hit. For example, when the "7" set of decorative symbols is selected, it is preferable that the combination of decorative symbols is selected so that the winning of the high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit is confirmed. Also, when an odd number of decorative symbols is selected than when an even number of decorative symbols is selected, the expectation of winning a high probability time saving jackpot is higher than when a low probability time saving jackpot is selected. , A combination of decorative patterns should be selected.

In addition, the effect that the decorative symbol is promoted during the big hit may be executed. Specifically, for example, an odd-numbered or even-numbered match is stopped when the symbol is confirmed, and a promotion effect is executed during the jackpot game, and the decorative symbol is promoted to "7" match. May be good.

(B) is a state in which the time-saving big hit has ended and the time-saving state has started. A display indicating that the rush rush chance has started is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In (C), since the time saving state has started, a display (right-handed display) prompting the player to execute the so-called right-handed hit and let the game ball B enter the second starting port 2004 is displayed on the effect display device 1600. There is. At the start of the time saving state, a large right-handed display in the lower middle part of the effect display device 1600 (three arrows described as "right-handed !!") and a small right-handed display in the upper right part of the effect display device 1600 ("" One arrow) with the words "Right-handed !!" is displayed.

(D) is a state in which the game ball B enters the second starting port 2004 from the state of (C) and the first fluctuation of the special figure 2 is started. The large right-handed display has been erased from the effect display device 1600. Further, a display showing the maximum value of the number of remaining time reductions is displayed on the upper left portion of the effect display device 1600. As described above, the number of time reductions is 7, 8, or 10 times. Therefore, in the state (D) in which the fluctuation of Special Figure 2 has not completed even one fluctuation, the maximum value is "remaining 10 times". Is displayed. In addition, the display "Power up the character in 6 seconds !!" is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

It should be noted that the power-up effect of the character is performed by utilizing the six fluctuations from the first variation to the sixth variation of the special figure 2 in the time saving state. In the power-up effect, an image of a character wearing an aura is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the aura color is stepped up in the six fluctuations.

For example, the peripheral control ROM stores a scenario management table for power-up effects. The scenario management table stores the power-up effect scenario and distribution for each of the low-accuracy time-saving state and the high-accuracy time-saving state. The scenario shows the color of the aura for each of the six fluctuations. In each scenario, it is assumed that the aura color in the final fluctuation of the power-up effect is expected to be in a highly accurate time-saving state in the order of white, blue, green, red, and rainbow color. The rainbow color shall be selected only when the current state is the high-accuracy time-saving state.

It is also desirable that the aura color does not step down (eg, white in the next variation of blue) in the six variations of each scenario. This is because there is a risk of reducing the expectations of the player. Further, for example, when the final aura color in the power-up effect is the same, it may be set so that the smaller the number of fluctuations that reach the final aura color, the higher the expectation that the time-saving state is high. Specifically, for example, when the final aura color is red, the case where it reaches red by the sixth variation of Special Figure 2 and the case where it reaches red by the fourth variation of Special Figure 2 The latter is more likely to be in a highly accurate time-saving state. It should be noted that the former may have a higher degree of expectation that the time is highly accurate. This is because the expectation can be pulled up to the last (sixth) fluctuation.

Further, in each scenario, the aura color may be promoted by one step, may be promoted by a plurality of steps, or may not be promoted by one change. When the aura color is promoted in multiple stages by one fluctuation, for example, the aura color may be stepped up from white to green without passing through blue, or stepped up in order from white to blue to green in the fluctuation. You may. In each scenario, the aura color that is first displayed in the first variation of FIG. 2 does not have to be the one with the lowest expectation (that is, it does not have to be white).

The "6 seconds" displayed on the effect display device 1600 is an index indicating the remaining number of fluctuations in which the power-up effect is performed, and is different from the actual 6 seconds. That is, for example, as will be described later, "6 seconds left" for the first fluctuation in the time saving state (meaning that the power-up effect is performed using the remaining 6 fluctuations), and "after" for the second fluctuation. "5 seconds" (meaning that the power-up effect is performed using the remaining 5 fluctuations) is displayed. That is, since the remaining time indicates the number of remaining fluctuations until the rock destruction effect is performed, the display indicating the maximum number of time reductions may not be performed.

(E) is a state in which the first special figure 2 is changing after the time saving state starts, and is a state following (D). On the effect display device 1600, a character wearing an aura and a display of "6 seconds left" are displayed.

(F) is the state at the end of the first fluctuation of the special figure 2 after the time saving state starts. After the state of (E), the color of the aura is promoted from white to blue by the end of the fluctuation, and the display (“power-up !!”) indicating that the color of the aura has been promoted is the effect display device 1600. Is displayed in. (G) is a state in which the second fluctuation of the special figure 2 has started since the time saving state has started. The aura color of the character remains blue, and the effect display device 1600 displays "5 seconds left". The same effect is repeated until the fifth change in Special Figure 2.

(H) is the state in which the special figure 2 is changing for the sixth time since the time saving state starts. In the sixth variation of the special figure 2, the color of the aura is promoted to red, and a display (“power-up !!”) indicating that the color of the aura has been promoted is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In the example of FIG. 236, red is the final aura color in the power-up effect.

(I) is the state at the end of the sixth special figure 2 after the time saving state starts. In the sixth variation, after the step-up of the aura color is completed, the introduction effect of the rock destruction effect performed by the seventh to tenth variation of the special figure 2 is executed. In (I), as the introduction effect, "Destroy the rock!" Is displayed on the effect display device 1600. The character destroys the rock in the rock destruction effect only when the current state is the high accuracy time saving state.

(J) is the state in which the special figure 2 is changing for the seventh time since the time saving state started. An image of the character hitting the rock after the rock destruction effect has started is displayed on the effect display device 1600. During the rock destruction effect, for example, the character wears a red aura, which is the final aura color of the power-up effect.

As a result, the player does not forget the expectation level of high accuracy and short time even during the rock destruction effect. On the contrary, the character may not wear an aura during the rock destruction effect. This is because some players do not want other players to know the degree of expectation. If the character wears an aura during the rock destruction effect, the aura color may be stepped up even during the rock destruction effect.

(K) is the state during the seventh change in Special Figure 2 after the start of the time saving state and the state following (J). An image of a state in which the rock is cracked but the rock is not cracked due to the character hitting the rock is displayed on the effect display device 1600. (L) is the state at the end of the seventh variation of the special figure 2 after the start of the time saving state. A display (“Still more !!”) indicating that the rock destruction effect is still continuing is displayed on the effect display device 1600. After that, the same production is repeated.

(M) is the state during the change of the eighth special figure 2 since the time saving state started. In the rock destruction effect, an image of the character hitting the rock again is displayed on the effect display device 1600. (N) is the state at the end of the ninth variation of the special figure 2 after the start of the time saving state. A display (“Bet on this blow!”) Indicates that the next change in Special Figure 2 is the last change in which the rock destruction effect is performed is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

(O) is a changing state of the special figure 2 of the tenth time (that is, the end of the time saving state) after the time saving state starts. An image of the character hitting a rock is displayed on the effect display device 1600. The cracks in the rock may increase each time the character hits the rock. In (O), there are more rock cracks than in (M).

(P) is a state in which the tenth change of the special figure 2 is in progress and is a continuation of (O) since the time saving state starts. The effect display device 1600 displays an image of success in destroying the rock (that is, an image showing that the current state is a high-accuracy time-saving state and shifts to a high non-time-saving state at the end of the fluctuation). ing. After the image in which the rock has failed to be destroyed is displayed, the revival effect may be performed to display the image in which the rock has been successfully destroyed. (Q) is the state at the end of the tenth variation of the special figure 2 after the start of the time saving state. An image (“rush rush !!”) indicating the transition to the high-accuracy non-time saving state is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

When the number of time reductions is 7 times in the high-accuracy time-saving state, the image of the rock breaking at the 7th variation in FIG. 2 and the image of transition to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state (that is, (P), (Q) ). However, the remaining number of times in the upper left part is displayed as "4 times remaining"). Similarly, when the number of time reductions is 9 times in the high-accuracy time-saving state, the image in which the rock breaks at the 9th variation in FIG. The image of Q). However, the remaining number of times in the upper left part is displayed as "remaining 2 times").

In the above-mentioned example, the time saving state in which the number of time saving times is 7 times and 9 times is not selected in the low probability time saving state. If there is a low-probability time-saving state in which the number of time reductions is 7 or 9, the rock destruction effect that ends in failure with a small number of fluctuations will be performed, and it will not be possible to give the player an uplifting feeling. is there.

FIGS. 238 (P') and 238 (Q') are examples of rock fracture effects when the current state is a non-time saving state. (P') is the state during the tenth change of the special figure 2 after the start of the time saving state and the state following (O). In the rock destruction effect, an image in which the character fails to destroy the rock is displayed on the effect display device 1600. (Q') is a state in which the tenth change in Special Figure 2 has been completed since the time saving state started. A display indicating that the rush rush chance has ended is displayed on the effect display device 1600. After this, it shifts to a low probability non-time saving state.

For example, in the power-up effect, an image of the pressing operation unit 303 and an image prompting the pressing of the pressing operation unit 303 are displayed on the effect display device 1600, and at the timing when the pressing of the pressing operation unit 303 is detected. You may notify whether or not the aura color can be stepped up. Similarly, for example, in the rock breaking effect, an image of the pressing operation unit 303 and an image prompting the pressing of the pressing operation unit 303 are displayed on the effect display device 1600 at the timing when the pressing of the pressing operation unit 303 is detected. , You may notify the possibility of rock destruction.

When the fluctuation during the time saving state, that is, during the rush rush effect is the jackpot fluctuation, for example, the jackpot is notified by an effect different from the effect of destroying the rock. This is to make the player recognize whether the jackpot was won or whether the transition to the high-accuracy time-saving state was successful.

As a specific effect, for example, immediately after the start of the fluctuation, the shutter group is closed so as to cover the effect display device 1600. The closed state of the shutter group is maintained for a long time (for example, about 2 minutes) according to the fluctuation pattern, for example. After that, when the shutter group is opened, an icon suggesting the type of jackpot is displayed on the effect display device 1600. After that, the decorative design is stopped. On the other hand, the jackpot may be notified by the effect of destroying the rock. As a result, the player cannot immediately recognize whether he / she has won the big hit or has shifted to the high-accuracy time-saving state, so that he / she can maintain a sense of tension.

[12-3. Production during the small hit rush]
239 and 240 are explanatory views showing an example of the effect during the small hit rush. (A) is a state at the end of the final fluctuation in the high-accuracy time-shortening state, that is, a state similar to FIG. 237 (Q). (B) is a changing state of the high-accuracy non-time saving state. In the upper left portion of the effect display device 1600, a display (“rushing !!”) indicating that the current state is a high-accuracy non-time saving state (that is, during a small hit rush) is displayed.

Further, in (B), there is a total number of acquired balls display area and a timer display area at the lower right of the effect display device 1600. In the total number of acquired balls display area, the total number of acquired balls from the start of the small hit rush and the number of balls paid out by the large hit are displayed. For example, it is desirable that the number of balls paid out by entering the game ball B into the general winning opening other than the large winning opening or the starting opening is not included in the total number of acquired balls.

In addition, for example, the number of balls paid out by the entry of the game ball B into the general winning opening may be included in the total number of acquired balls, but in this case, the effect display device 1600 is determined at the time of the entry. It is desirable to output an image of the above, output a predetermined sound from various speakers, and output a predetermined light from various lamps. This is to make the player recognize that the total number of acquired balls is increasing by entering the game ball B into the general winning opening.

In addition, the display of the total number of acquired balls continues until the end of the jackpot fluctuation (that is, the high-accuracy time-shortened jackpot fluctuation and the low-accuracy time-shortened jackpot fluctuation) that cannot always shift to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state, and the jackpot At the end of the fluctuation, the count of the total number of acquired balls stops. However, if you win a big hit that is not always possible to shift to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state, but then you can shift to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state again without falling to the low-accuracy non-time-saving state, you will get the total again. The number of balls is displayed again, and counting is restarted from the value at the latest count stop. In addition, although the jackpot that is not always able to shift to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state is won, if the high-accuracy time-saving no jackpot is won during the time-saving state shifted by the jackpot, the high-accuracy time-saving no jackpot will be awarded. At the start, the total number of acquired balls may be redisplayed and the count may be restarted.

In the timer display area, the digestion time of the small hit rush counted from the start of the small hit rush is displayed. The start of the small hit rush may be the end of the high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit game, the end of the final fluctuation in the high-accuracy time-shortening state, or the start of the first fluctuation in the high-accuracy time-shortening state. Good.

(C) is a state in which the high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit fluctuation is completed in the high-accuracy non-time-saving state. Since the timer in the timer display area indicates the digestion time of the small hit rush, the timer is stopped at the end of the big hit fluctuation during the high accuracy non-time reduction (at the end of the big hit fluctuation). (D) is in a big hit game with high accuracy, short time, and no big hit. Even during the big hit game, the total number of acquired balls is displayed and added. Although the timer is not displayed on the effect display device 1600 during the big hit, it may be displayed with the timer stopped.

(E) is a big hit game with high accuracy, short time, and no big hit, and is a continuation of (D). When the total number of acquired balls reaches a predetermined number of balls, the effect display device 1600 displays the arrival. There are a plurality of stages in the predetermined number of balls, and for example, the arrival display is performed every time the total number of acquired balls increases by 1000. Therefore, in (E), the display of "1000 PT breakthrough !!" indicating that 1000 shots have been reached is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition to the arrival display, a predetermined light may be output from various lamps, a predetermined sound may be output from various speakers, or the BGM may be changed. In addition, for example, after the total number of acquired balls reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 30,000 shots), the arrival display may not be performed.

In addition, for example, the difference between the plurality of stages may be constant or different. Specifically, for example, the difference between the plurality of stages may be constant, such as 1000 shots, 2000 shots, 3000 shots, ..., 1000 shots, 5000 shots, 10000 shots, ... It may be set so that the difference from the previous stage becomes larger as the stage goes to the later stage such as 20000 shots, ...

(F) is a state immediately before the end of the big hit game of high accuracy, short time and no big hit. (G) is a state immediately after the end of the big hit game of high accuracy, short time, and no big hit. A display indicating that the high-accuracy non-time saving state, that is, the small hit rush is restarted, is displayed on the effect display device 1600. Further, in (G), there is an acquired ball number history display area in the upper middle of the effect display device 1600. In the acquired ball number history display area, the history of the total number of balls acquired by one big hit and the total number of balls acquired in the small hit rush that won the big hit is displayed. In (G), since 2910 balls were obtained in the big hit and the small hit rush immediately before, "2910" is displayed in the acquired ball number history display area.

(H) is a state in which the total number of acquired balls reached 5,000 during the small hit rush. When the total number of acquired balls reaches a predetermined number of balls, the background image on the effect display device 1600 changes. The predetermined number of balls has a plurality of stages. For example, the background image changes every time the total number of acquired balls increases by 5,000. In addition, along with the change of the background image, a predetermined light may be output from various lamps, a predetermined sound may be output from various speakers, or the BGM after the change of the background image may be changed. For example, after the total number of acquired balls reaches a predetermined upper limit value (for example, 30,000 shots), the background image may not be changed.

In the example of FIG. 239, the arrival display of the total number of acquired balls is performed every 1000 shots, and the background image is changed every 5000 shots. Therefore, the total number of acquired balls is 5000 shots, 10000 shots, 15000 shots. When the arrival is reached, both the arrival display and the change of the background image are executed (in this example, the arrival display is always performed at the timing when the background image changes).

The arrival display and the change of the background image in the effect display device 1600 are executed in order according to a predetermined priority, for example. For example, since the change of the background image is executed less frequently than the arrival display, the change of the background image can give the player a stronger uplifting feeling than the arrival display. The timing of giving a stronger uplifting feeling to the player differs depending on whether the change of the background image is executed first or later.

The arrival display and the change of the background image may be executed at the same time. By simultaneously executing the arrival display and the change of the background image, a synergistic effect can be obtained, and a stronger uplifting feeling can be given to the player than when these effects are executed alone. The same applies to the output of light and sound that is executed at the same time as the arrival display and the change of the background image.

(I) is the state at the end of the time-saving big hit fluctuation. Since the rush rush chance is produced after the jackpot ends, it is desirable not to be notified at this point whether the time-saving jackpot is a high-probability time-shortening jackpot or a low-probability time-shortening jackpot.

(J) is a state at the end of the jackpot fluctuation with a time reduction, and is a continuation state of (I). The total number of acquired balls, the cumulative time of the timer, and the effect display device 1600 at the end of the jackpot fluctuation are displayed as a result. The reason why the result is displayed at that timing is that it is not always possible to shift to the high probability non-time saving state (small hit rush) again without falling to the low probability non-time saving state by winning the time saving big hit. Is.

(K) is a state in which the jackpot with a short time is completed. (L) is a state in which the rush rush chance has started. (M) is a state in which the final fluctuation of the rush rush chance (final fluctuation in the time saving state) is changing, and the effect of destroying the rock is being executed. (N) is a state at the end of the final fluctuation, and is a state in which it is notified that the state will shift to the high-accuracy non-time saving state. (K), (L), (M), and (N) are the same as those in FIGS. 236 (A), 236 (B), 237 (P), and 237 (Q), respectively, and are therefore detailed. The explanation is omitted.

(O) is a changing state of the high-accuracy non-time saving state. When it is possible to return to the high-probability non-time-saving state again without falling into the low-probability non-time-saving state, for example, the display of each display area is as follows. The timer display in the timer display area inherits the value at the end of the immediately preceding high-accuracy non-time-saving state. In addition, the total number of acquired balls in the total number of acquired balls display area is the value obtained by adding the number of balls obtained in the immediately preceding time-saving big hit to the value at the end of the immediately preceding high-accuracy non-time-saving state. To. Further, in the background image, an image corresponding to the total number of acquired balls is displayed. Further, in the acquired ball number history display area, the history of the total number of balls acquired by the immediately preceding time-saving big hit and the number of balls acquired in the small hit rush won by the time-saving big hit is further displayed. These histories are displayed, for example, for the last 10 big hits won without falling into a low probability non-time saving state.

As a result, if it is possible to return to the high-accuracy non-time-saving state again without falling into the low-accuracy non-time-saving state, it is possible to display the inheritance of the previous state, and the player straddles the low-accuracy non-time-saving state. It is possible to accurately grasp the number of balls that can be obtained without losing money. In addition, if the total number of acquired balls and the timer are reset every time the high-accuracy non-time saving state ends, it is less likely that these displays will become large values, and the player will be uplifted. Since it is not possible to give a feeling, the display content is as described above.

As described above, the total value of the winning balls during one big hit game and the winning balls in the highly accurate non-time saving state (small hit rush) immediately before the big hit game is displayed in the acquired ball number history display area. Therefore, a numerical value larger than the expected value of the acquired balls per big hit game can be shown by using the acquired ball number history display area, so that an uplifting feeling can be given. Further, for example, the display mode may be different depending on the value displayed in the acquired ball number history display area. Specifically, if it is less than 5000, it is a blue number, if it is 5000 or more and less than 10000, it is a red number, and if it exceeds 10000, it is a rainbow-colored number. Further, although it is assumed that the latest 10 times are displayed, the total value of 1 to 10 times may be displayed after the 11th time.

[12-4. Production during big hit]
The production during the big hit will be described below. For example, every time a high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit is won without falling into a low-accuracy non-time-saving state, a song that can be played during the high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit is added. For example, only music A can be selected in the first high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit, and music B can be further selected in the second high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit, which was won without straddling the low-accuracy non-time-saving state. Yes, music C can be further selected in the third high-accuracy time-shortening jackpot, and music D can be further selected in the fourth and subsequent high-accuracy time-shortening jackpots.

In the second and subsequent high-accuracy time-shortening non-big hits, the player can select the music to be played from the selectable music by executing the operation by the predetermined operation unit. When the player does not select a song, for example, the song A is won in the first high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit, and the song is in the second high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit. It is assumed that B plays music C in the third high-accuracy time-shortening jackpot, and music D plays in the fourth and subsequent high-accuracy time-saving jackpots.

In addition, the music that was playing during the high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit may continue to play even during the high-accuracy non-time-saving state that shifts after the end of the high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit. Further, even in the high-accuracy non-time saving state, the music may be selectable by the operation of a predetermined operation unit by the player.

FIG. 241 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an effect during high accuracy, time saving, and no big hit. Specifically, a production in which all songs can be selected by inputting a predetermined command (hidden command) during a high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit will be described.

(A) is a state in which the second high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit, which was won without falling into the low-accuracy time-saving state, has started. (B) is a state in which the first round of the high-accuracy time-shortening no-big hit is being executed. A music selection box and an image explaining a music selection operation are displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition, since it is the second high-accuracy time-saving no-big hit that was won without falling into the low-accuracy non-time-saving state, music A and music B can be selected, and the music is not accepted for input by the user. B is selected.

These images are displayed, for example, when the peripheral control MPU receives the first round start command from the main control MPU. Further, for example, at the same timing, the operation acceptance period of the operation unit for executing the music selection operation starts. The operation acceptance period ends, for example, when the peripheral control MPU receives the round end command of the final round from the main control MPU.

In the example of FIG. 241, the cursor for selecting the music A and the music B is moved by operating the rotation operation unit 302, and the currently playing music is moved by pressing the center pressing operation unit 303a. It changes to the song pointed to by.

Further, the operation acceptance period of the hidden command starts when, for example, the peripheral control MPU receives the first round start command from the main control MPU, and ends when the second round end command is received. .. (C) is a state after the hidden command is input in (B). All songs (music A to D) can be selected.

The hidden command is, for example, a command for pressing and holding the center pressing operation unit 303a (for example, pressing for 3 seconds or longer). As described above, the operation acceptance period of the hidden command overlaps with the operation acceptance period of the music selection.

In the music selection, in the peripheral control MPU, the central pressing operation unit 303a changed from the pressed state to the non-pressed state, and the pressed state was not long-pressed (in the above example, the pressed state did not continue for 3 seconds or more). ) If so, perform the song determination.

If the central pressing operation unit 303a changes from the pressed state to the non-pressed state and decides a musical piece, the player decides the musical piece even though he intended to execute the hidden command. There is a risk that the pressing will not be continued until the long press state, which is a hidden command, because the operation of is mistaken. Further, if the music is determined when the central pressing operation unit 303a is in the long-pressed state and the music is changed from the pressed state to the non-pressed state, the music is always executed when the hidden command is executed. As the decision is made, it can be offensive to the player. Therefore, when the above-mentioned conditions are satisfied, the music determination is executed.

In addition, for example, in the operation for notifying the winning result of the effect during reach and the determination operation on the character selection screen described later, when the central pressing operation unit 303a changes from the pressed state to the non-pressed state in this way. , It may be determined that the central pressing operation unit 303a has been operated.

[13. Demo screen production]
[13-1. Normal demo screen production]
An example of the production of the demo screen when the fluctuation is not executed will be described below. FIG. 242 is an example of a timetable of the demo screen. In the timetable, the display content on the effect display device 1600, the display time of the display content, whether or not the volume control jog can be accepted, whether or not the volume light amount adjustment jog can be accepted, whether or not BGM is flowing, and a predetermined movable body (role) In this chapter, it is defined whether or not the back-rear movable decorative body (3110) is in a falling state.

In a state where the volume adjustment jog reception is possible, for example, by rotating the rotation operation unit 302, an image showing the volume output from the pachinko machine 1 is displayed, and the volume can be adjusted. In a state where the volume light amount adjustment jog reception is possible, for example, by rotating the rotation operation unit 302, an image showing one of the volume and the amount of light can be displayed, and the one can be adjusted, and the image is displayed. When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in this state, an image showing the other of the volume or the amount of light is displayed, and the other can be adjusted.

Further, as described above, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is a decorative body that can be moved in the vertical direction. The back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is located at the above-mentioned retracted position above the game board 5 or at the above-mentioned appearance position at the center of the game board 5, depending on the effect state.

The specific flow of the production on the demo screen will be described below. First, fluctuations or jackpots are being executed (NO1). At the end of fluctuation or jackpot, the decorative symbol stops on the effect display device 1600 (NO2). After that, if there is no suspension of fluctuation, the stopped state of the fixed decorative symbol is maintained (NO3). In all of NO1 to NO3, the volume control jog reception is possible, the volume light amount adjustment jog reception is not possible, the variable BGM is flowing, and the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is not in the falling state, that is, in the retracted position. However, in NO1, there may be a prohibited section in which the reception of volume control jog is prohibited, such as during a predetermined reach production or during a predetermined round of big hits.

Subsequently, a predetermined image is displayed (NO4-1). Subsequently, a telop image (also referred to as a volume light amount adjustment telop) indicating that the transition to the volume light amount adjustment screen is possible while the predetermined image is displayed, and a character for determining the effect state during the subsequent fluctuation. A telop image (also referred to as a character selection telop) indicating that the transition to the selection screen is possible is displayed (NO4-2).

For example, the video reproduced in NO4-1 and NO4-2 is a video for 30 seconds, and is loop-played between NO4-1 and NO4-2. In both NO4-1 and NO4-2, the volume control jog cannot be accepted, the volume light amount adjustment jog can be accepted, and the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is in the retracted position. However, although BGM is flowing in NO4-1, the BGM fades out from the start of NO4-2 (the volume becomes low and then stops).

Next, the model demo movie of pachinko machine 1 is displayed (NO5), then the maker logo is displayed (NO6), then the jog button caution movie is displayed (NO7), and then the demo screen common to all manufacturers (Goto). Action prevention movie) is displayed (NO8).

Further, after that, the volume light amount adjusting telop and the character selection telop are displayed while the predetermined image is displayed (NO9). The display content of NO9 is the same as that of NO4-2. After the display content of NO9 is displayed, the process returns to NO5. In NO5 to NO9, volume control jog reception is not possible, volume light amount adjustment jog reception is possible, and BGM is not playing.

Hereinafter, the operation of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 will be described. At the start of the model demo movie in NO5, the rear-rear movable decorative body 3110 moves downward and falls into a falling state, that is, in the appearance position. After that, in NO6 to NO9, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 maintains the appearance position. In NO9, when shifting to the volume light amount adjustment screen or the character selection screen, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be moved to the retracted position in order to make the effect display device 1600 easier to see. In this case, for example, when the display of the volume light amount adjustment screen or the character selection screen is completed, the back-back movable decoration body 3110 is moved to the appearance position again.

In NO5 to NO9, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 that is not located in the retracted position moves to the retracted position when the game ball B enters the starting port (first starting port 2002 or second starting port 2004). In NO5, when the game ball B enters the start port while the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is falling from the retracted position to the appearance position, for example, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is detected at the timing when the entry is detected. To raise. As a result, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 can be quickly moved to the evacuation position at the same time as the start of the fluctuation corresponding to the ball entry, and the visual recognition of the effect using the effect display device 1600 of the change can be minimized. I'm done.

Further, in NO5, when the game ball B enters the starting port while the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is falling from the retracted position to the appearance position, the back-rear movable decoration 3110 is once dropped to the appearance position. It may be raised after being made to rise. This is because some players mistakenly think that the back-back movable decorative body 3110, which is descending, suddenly starts to rise at the same time as the ball enters, as a production with high expectation for a big hit.

Further, the operation of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be determined according to the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation executed by the ball entering. For example, a variation pattern in which the effect of lowering the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 at the start of variation will be described. In NO5 to NO9, a variation pattern is selected in which the game ball B enters while the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is located at the appearance position, and the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is lowered at the start of the variation. It shall be assumed that it was done.

In this case, for example, at the same time as entering the ball, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is once raised to a retracted position or a predetermined position higher than the maximum descending position of the descending effect, and then the descending effect is executed. When the descending effect is an effect with a high expectation of a big hit, it is desirable to execute the descending effect without canceling it (that is, to cause the descending effect to be delayed). Further, for example, instead of the descending effect, a specific irregular effect (for example, light emission of a predetermined lamp attached to the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 or output of a predetermined sound from the speaker) may be performed. The back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be raised to the retracted position while performing a specific irregular effect.

Further, for example, instead of the descending effect, a specific irregular operation of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 (for example, the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 is reciprocated up and down a predetermined number of times with a predetermined amplitude) may be performed. Good. Even if the descending effect is an effect with a high expectation of a big hit, the player can be given a sense of expectation by executing these irregular processes instead of the descending effect. Further, in the first place, when the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is not in the retracted position in NO5 to NO9, the effect of lowering the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 at the start of the fluctuation is executed (the descending effect is executed at the start of the fluctuation). The selection of the effect pattern) may be prohibited. Further, although the selection of the fluctuation pattern is not prohibited (there is a possibility that the descending effect is produced), the descending effect may not be executed when the variation pattern is selected. By doing so, even if the descending effect is not executed, it is possible to make the player think that the descending effect may have been selected.

Further, in NO5, a fluctuation pattern in which the game ball B enters the start port while the back-rear movable decoration 3110 is moving to the appearance position, and the back-rear movable decoration 3110 is lowered at the start of the fluctuation. The same applies when is selected.

Specifically, in this case, for example, at the same time as entering the ball, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is once raised to a retracted position or a predetermined position higher than the maximum descending position of the descending effect, and then the descending effect is performed. Execute. In addition, before the ascending, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be moved to the appearance position once (that is, the effect of lowering is delayed and generated). Further, for example, instead of the descending effect, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be raised while performing a specific irregular effect. Before the ascent, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be moved to the appearance position once. Further, in such a case, the selection of the fluctuation pattern (the effect pattern in which the descending effect is executed at the start of the fluctuation) may be prohibited.

Further, in NO5 to NO9, when the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is located below the retracted position, the game ball B enters the starting port, and when the fluctuation starts, another movable body (back-rear movable decorative body 3110) It is assumed that a variable pattern in which the effect of moving the back-back movable decorative body 3110 to the movable range of the movable decorative body 3110 is executed is selected at the time of entering the ball. In this case, for example, the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is moved to the retracted position first, and then the other movable body is moved to avoid interference between the movable bodies. In addition, when the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is in the appearance position and the other movable body (a movable body different from the back-rear movable decoration body 3110) operates, it does not interfere with the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 in the appearance position. The other movable body is operated while the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 is in the appearance position, and after the other movable body returns to the initial position, the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 is moved to the evacuation position. You may. In such a case, the movement of the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 to the retracted position and the movement of the movable body different from the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 may be performed at the same time.

Further, for example, in the variable pattern (effect pattern), the other movable body (movable body different from the back-rear movable decorative body 3110) may not be operated. At this time, the above-mentioned irregular effect or irregular operation may be performed on the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 or the other movable body. Further, in such a case, the selection of the variation pattern (effect pattern) in which the effect of moving the other movable body to the movable range of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 at the start of the variation may be prohibited.

When the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is in the appearance position, a part of the effect display device 1600 is hidden. Therefore, some players feel that the visual state of the image displayed on the effect display device 1600 in NO5 to NO9 is not good, and such a player wants to see the image in a good visual state.

For such a player, the game ball B enters the start port (when the game ball B enters the start port, the fluctuation starts and these images (for example, the model demo movie shown in FIG. 242 is stopped). The back-rear movable decorative body 3110 may be raised to the retracted position by an opportunity other than (because the time image, etc.) ends. As a specific trigger, for example, there is an operation of a predetermined operation unit (for example, an outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b).

If the game ball B wins a prize in the start port while the back and rear movable decorative body 3110 is rising to the evacuation position due to an opportunity other than the game ball B entering the start port, the back and rear movable decorative body 3110 is movable. For example, the decorative body 3110 continues the ascending operation as it is and returns to the retracted position. Further, while the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is rising to the evacuation position, the game ball B wins a prize at the starting port, and the effect pattern determined based on the prize descends the back-rear movable decorative body 3110. In the case of an effect pattern for causing the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 to be moved, the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 may be continuously raised and returned to the evacuation position, and then the back-rear movable decoration body 3110 may be lowered. The descending effect may be executed even during the ascending of 3110. Further, if the game ball B wins a prize in the start port in a state where the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 has returned to the evacuation position due to an opportunity other than the game ball B entering the start port, for example, as it is. Maintain the retracted position.

The decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600 when the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is in the appearance position (the symbol in which the decorative symbol of NO2 is also shown in the stopped image of NO9) is, for example, at the end of fluctuation (NO2). It may be displayed in a reduced state as compared with the symbol shown by), or it may be displayed in the same size. When the decorative symbol is displayed in a reduced size, the display size of the decorative symbol is changed, for example, at the start of descent of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 at NO5, at the end of descent, or at the time of displaying the confirmed symbol of NO3. .. Further, when the decorative pattern is reduced and displayed, it is preferable to display it in an area that does not overlap with the moving range of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, but even when the decorative pattern is reduced and displayed, it is displayed in the moving range of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110. They may overlap.

In NO5 to NO9, an example in which the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is located in front of the effect display device 1600 has been described, but in place of or in addition to the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, another movable body is the effect display device. It may be located in front of the 1600. However, when a plurality of movable bodies are located in front of the effect display device 1600, it is desirable to use a plurality of movable bodies whose positions after movement do not overlap (contact). Further, in NO5 to NO9, since the image is displayed on the effect display device 1600, the movable body whose image cannot be visually recognized is not moved. In particular, it is desirable not to obscure the explanation to the player such as the volume light amount adjustment telop. Even if the movable body has a position after movement that overlaps with the position where such an explanation is displayed, it is moved to the front surface of the effect display device 1600 once in NO5, and when such an explanation is displayed, it is said. The movable body may be returned to its original position. Further, the position and size of the explanation display for the player such as the volume light amount adjusting telop may be changed according to the position of the movable body.

[13-2. Another example of volume control method]
Hereinafter, another example of the volume control method will be described. FIG. 243 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of screen transition of volume control. (A) is a state in which the decorative symbol determined after the fluctuation is stopped is stopped, that is, the state of NO3 in FIG. 242. (B) is a state in which the loop image is displayed on the effect display device 1600, that is, the state of NO4-1 in FIG. 242.

(C) is a state in which the loop image and the character selection telop are displayed on the effect display device 1600. It differs from NO4-2 in FIG. 242 in that the volume light amount adjustment telop is not displayed. When the center pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in the state of (C), the screen transitions to the character selection screen. In the example of FIG. 243, the volume adjustment (adjustment and setting of the output sound output from various speakers is performed, and the subsequent volume adjustment has the same meaning, except after passing through the character selection screen. It differs from the example of FIG. 242 in that it cannot be omitted).

(D) is a state in which the character selection screen is displayed on the effect display device 1600 by pressing the central pressing operation unit 303a in the state of (C). A character can be selected by rotating the rotation operation unit 302, and the selected character can be selected by pressing the center pressing operation unit 303a.

The character selected here appears on the effect display device 1600 at the time of a predetermined effect, and performs a predetermined serif effect or performs a predetermined operation. That is, the subsequent production mode changes depending on the selected character. In addition, the effect content (for example, the above-mentioned lines and actions) when the character appears differs depending on the selected character. Further, for example, the volume of dialogue at the time of production differs for each character. Also, for example, the BGM differs depending on the selected character.

(E) is a state in which the character is determined by pressing the central pressing operation unit 303a in the state of (D). At the time of character determination, for example, the dialogue by the character is output from the speaker. The dialogue is output at a volume similar to, for example, the dialogue production of the character performed during fluctuations and the like.

For example, many players feel that the dialogue effect by character A is noisy even at volume 3 (5 levels of volume (1 is the minimum volume, 5 is the maximum volume)), and the dialogue effect by character B is not noisy even at volume 5. There are many players who feel it. By enabling the volume control to be executed after actually listening to the dialogue of the character at the time of determining the character in this way, the player can select an appropriate volume for himself / herself.

(F) is a state after character selection. After the character is selected, the character selection screen is erased, and a display different from the volume control screen, such as the loop image described above, is displayed. The reason for displaying such a screen before the transition to the volume control screen is possible is to prevent the player from making the volume control a mere task.

Specifically, for example, it is assumed that the character A having a loud dialogue effect is selected on the character selection screen. At this time, if the screen shifts to the volume control screen immediately after the character A is selected, the player does not think about anything and only reduces the volume. On the other hand, by temporarily displaying a display different from the volume control as described above, the consciousness is separated from the character selected by the player, so that some players forget the character selected by the time the volume control can be performed. There is. Since the player turns down the volume while remembering that he has selected character A, when the dialogue of character A appears after that, he feels reassured by reconfirming that the character he selected was character A. And delight can be obtained.

In (G), a loop image, a character selection telop, and a volume light amount adjustment telop are displayed on the effect display device 1600. (H) is a state in which the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated in the state of (G) to shift to the volume light amount adjustment screen. By rotating the rotation operation unit 302, the volume changes, and by pressing the center pressing operation unit 303a, the screen shifts to the light amount adjustment screen. Although not shown, in the light amount adjustment screen, the light amount is changed by rotating the rotation operation unit 302, and the volume adjustment screen is displayed by pressing the central pressing operation unit 303a.

(I) is a state in which the loop image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 again. For example, on the volume control screen or the light amount control screen, the loop image is returned to the state where a predetermined time elapses after the last operation of the rotation operation unit 302 or the center pressing operation unit 303a.

When the fluctuation starts while the volume control screen is displayed on the effect display device 1600, the volume control can be continuously executed, and the image for performing the volume control shows the visibility of the effect during the change. It should be possible to continuously display in a manner that does not significantly interfere. This makes it possible to adjust the volume while checking the actual volume during fluctuations.

In addition, although the example that the volume light amount adjustment screen cannot be shifted to without passing through the character selection screen has been described, the screen shifts to the volume light amount adjustment screen when a specific condition is not satisfied in addition to or instead of passing through the character selection screen. You may not be able to. The specific conditions include, for example, the entry of the game ball B into the general winning opening where the prize ball is obtained at the time of entry, the passage of a predetermined time, and the like (or a combination thereof).

The predetermined time may be lengthened or shortened depending on, for example, the operating status of the operating means that can be operated by the player. Further, when the condition that the volume (output sound) can be changed is satisfied, the volume (output sound) may be changed thereafter without going through the character selection screen. Further, the changed volume (output sound) may end at the end of a specific number of fluctuations. In the fluctuating specific effect, the effect may proceed at a volume (output sound) peculiar to the specific effect instead of the selected volume (output sound). Further, the number of sound patterns that can be selected on the volume control screen may be increased by performing a predetermined operation on the predetermined operation unit after the character is selected and before the transition to the volume control screen (. For example, when the predetermined operation is not executed, 5 levels of volume (output sound) can be selected, but when the predetermined operation is executed, 10 levels of volume (output sound) can be selected. etc).

[14. Upstart production]
The upstart production will be described below. The upstart effect is one of the effects performed during the SP reach (a special effect, and the SP reach described below also corresponds to a special effect). The SP reach is a reach effect that is easier to be selected in the jackpot fluctuation and less likely to be selected in the out-of-order fluctuation as compared with the normal reach effect. That is, the SP reach is a reach production with a high expectation of a big hit as compared with a normal reach production. In the upstart effect, a display indicating the degree of expectation of a big hit is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and when the line "Ka-ra-no-" described later is displayed, the effect display device 1600 is displayed after the line is displayed. The jackpot expectation displayed in is promoted.

FIG. 244 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an upstart effect. (A) is a state in which the upstart effect is started during the SP reach. For example, the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a is displayed on the effect display device 1600 in a blurred state. Subsequently, in (B), the background color of the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a in the effect display device 1600 changes. The background color after the change shall be blue or red. Further, the higher the jackpot expectation of the fluctuation, the easier it is that red is selected as the background color after the change rather than blue.

Subsequently, in (C), the effect display device 1600 displays the line "Ka-ra-no-", and the image and background color of the center pressing operation unit 303a are erased. In (C), the image and the background color of the center pressing operation unit 303a may be continuously displayed. When the line is displayed, the jackpot expectation is promoted thereafter. Subsequently, in (D), the dialogue is erased from the effect display device 1600, and the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a is displayed again in a blurred state. For example, the background color of the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a is promoted from blue to red at the timing when the dialogue is erased from the effect display device 1600.

Subsequently, in (E), the blurred image and background color of the center pressing operation unit 303a are erased, and the large image (red large push display) of the red center pressing operation unit 303a is clearly displayed in the effect display device. It is displayed on the 1600 and prompts to press the central pressing operation unit 303a. The image of the center pressing operation unit 303a displayed at this point includes, for example, a small blue image (small blue push display), a large blue image (large blue push display), and a large red image (large red). There is a large rainbow-colored image (rainbow-sized push display). It is assumed that the big hit expectation is higher in the order of blue small push display, blue large push display, red large push display, and rainbow large push display, and the rainbow large push display is selected only for big hit fluctuation.

In the state (E), when the central pressing operation unit 303a is in the operation enabled state and the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in the operation enabled state, it is notified whether the fluctuation during execution is a jackpot fluctuation or a missed fluctuation. Will be done. In (F), it is announced that the fluctuation is a jackpot fluctuation.

It should be noted that, in (A), the effect from the blurry image of the central pressing operation unit 303a to immediately before the clear image of the central pressing operation unit 303a is displayed in (E) is displayed. Also referred to as a button display effect, the effect from the display of a clear image of the center pressing operation unit 303a to the end of the display of the image is also referred to.

FIG. 245 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of the upstart effect. In the example of FIG. 244, the line "ka-ra-no-" is displayed in the fanning effect, and the background color in the fanning effect is promoted. However, in the example of FIG. 245, "ka-ra-no-" is displayed in the button display effect. The line "No ~" is displayed, and the button image in the button display effect is promoted.

Since (A) and (B) are the same as those in FIGS. 244 (A) and (B), respectively, the description thereof will be omitted. Subsequently, in (C), the blurred image and background color of the central pressing operation unit 303a are erased, and the large blue push image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 in a clear state, and the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed. You are urged to do so.

Subsequently, in (D), the effect display device 1600 displays the line "Ka-ra-no-" so as to overlap the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a. In (D), the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a and the display prompting the pressing may be deleted in order to concentrate the player's consciousness on the line "ka-ra-no-". Subsequently, in (E), the dialogue "ka-ra-no-" is erased from the effect display device 1600, and the blue large push image is promoted to the red large push image at the timing when the dialogue is erased. .. Since (F) is the same as FIG. 244 (F), the description thereof will be omitted.

When the promotion effect is performed during the button display effect, the operation of the center press operation unit 303a is effective during the period from the display of the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a to the appearance of the promotion effect in the button display effect. It may be invalid or it may be invalid. Since the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is effective during this period, it is possible to satisfy the player who wants to know the winning result quickly. Further, since the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is invalid during the period, the player who wants to enjoy the effect to the end can be satisfied, and the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a is displayed. If the operation is invalid, it is confirmed that the promotion effect is performed, and the player can feel an uplifting feeling.

In this way, even though the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a is displayed, if the operation is invalid, the button display is used to prevent the promotion effect from being confirmed. Regardless of whether or not the promotion effect is performed during the effect, the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a may be enabled for a predetermined time after the button display effect starts.

In addition, in the rising effect, there may be a pattern in which the fanning effect is not executed and only the button display effect is executed. The type of image of the central pressing operation unit 303a that can be displayed in the button display effect may be different between the case where the fanning effect is executed and the case where only the button display effect is executed without executing the fanning effect. ..

Specifically, for example, in the pattern in which the fanning effect is executed, only the blue large push, the red large push, and the rainbow large push can be displayed in the button display effect, but in the pattern in which the fanning effect is not executed, blue. Suppose a small push, a large blue push, a large red push, and a large rainbow push can be displayed. As a result, the pattern in which the fanning effect is executed has a higher expectation of a big hit than the pattern in which the fanning effect is not executed.

Further, in such a case, it is desirable that the pattern in which the fanning effect is executed has a higher frequency of appearance than the pattern in which the fanning effect is not executed and only the button display effect is executed. This is because, as described above, the pattern in which the fanning effect is executed has a higher expectation of a big hit. Further, for example, in the pattern in which the fanning effect is not executed, the BGM is played in the button display effect, but in the pattern in which the fanning effect is executed, the BGM is played in the fanning effect, but the BGM is stopped in the button display effect and there is no sound. It is desirable to put it in a state. As a result, it is possible to produce a feeling of tension in the button display effect in the pattern in which the fanning effect with high expectation of big hit is executed.

Further, for example, in a pattern in which the fanning effect is executed only when the fluctuation is a jackpot fluctuation, and the center pressing operation unit 303a is pressed during the effective period of the center pressing operation unit 303a in the button display effect. A pattern in which the effect of vibrating the vibration speaker 354 is executed may be executed.

FIG. 246 is a timing chart showing an example of the timing at which the promotion effect in the upstart effect is performed. The promotion effect can be performed, for example, at any of the timings 1 to 7 shown in FIG. 246. The timing 1 is immediately after the start of the fanning effect (for example, the timing of FIG. 244 (A) or the timing immediately after the start of (B)). At timing 1, the player cannot recognize or slightly recognizes the first background color in the fanning effect. Therefore, when the promotion effect is performed at timing 1, the player who is not aware of the background color is Can give a sense of surprise.

The timing 2 is a timing at which a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fanning effect (for example, the timing shown in FIG. 244 (C)). At timing 2, the player is completely aware of the first background color in the fanning effect, so for example, if the background color is blue, the player is disappointed, but the promotion effect is performed at timing 2. This can eliminate this disappointment.

The timing 3 is the same as the start of the button display effect (for example, the timing at the start of FIG. 245 (C)). In the example of FIG. 246, it is assumed that the valid period of the central pressing operation unit 303a ends at the same time as the end of the button display effect.

At timing 3, the player is in a state where the type of the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a displayed in the button display effect cannot be recognized. Therefore, when the promotion effect is performed at timing 3, the player is given a sense of surprise. Can be done. Further, when the promotion effect is performed at the timing 3, the player has not yet recognized the type of the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a, but at least in the image with the lowest expectation of big hit (blue small push). Since it is confirmed that there is no such thing, an uplifting feeling can be obtained.

The timing 4 is immediately after the start of the button display effect (for example, the timing immediately after the start of FIG. 245 (C)). Specifically, the timing 4 is a difficult timing, although the central pressing operation unit 303a can be operated by the player, for example, after 0.008 seconds have elapsed from the start of the button display effect. At the timing 4, since the player is not aware of the type of the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a displayed in the button display effect, when the promotion effect occurs, the player can be given a sense of surprise.

Further, for the player who knows that the promotion effect may occur at the timing 4, for example, the valid period starts by repeatedly hitting the center pressing operation unit 303a before the start of the button display effect. Therefore, it is possible to provide another game property, such as whether the pressing operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a can be executed before the promotion effect.

The timing 5 is the timing after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the button display effect (however, the first half of the valid period of the central pressing operation unit 303a). At timing 5, the player can completely recognize the type of image of the central pressing operation unit 303a. Therefore, for example, if the image is a small blue push, the player is disappointed, but at timing 5, the promotion effect is produced. This discouragement can be resolved by performing.

The timing 6 is a timing after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the button display effect (however, the latter half of the valid period of the central pressing operation unit 303a). At timing 6, since a considerable amount of time has passed since the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a was displayed, the promotion effect can be shown to the player who has given up the appearance of the promotion effect halfway. Therefore, a feeling of surprise can be provided.

Timing 7 is immediately before the end of the button display effect. By executing the promotion effect at the timing 7, for example, even if the center pressing operation unit 303a is prompted to press, the promotion effect can be shown to a player who does not intend to operate the center pressing operation unit 303a. .. Further, for example, if the valid period of the central pressing operation unit 303a does not start until the promotion effect occurs even if the button display effect starts, the promotion effect is executed at timing 6 or timing 7 to freeze. It is possible to realize a production like a production, and it is possible to give the player a strong sense of expectation.

When the promotion effect is executed after the button display effect is started, the pressing of the central pressing operation unit 303a may be used as an opportunity to execute the promotion effect. Specifically, for example, from the start of the button display effect to the timing of the promotion effect (for example, any of timings 4 to 7), the image of the central pressing operation unit 303a is displayed, but the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is invalid. It is said that. Then, at the timing of the promotion effect, the valid period of the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a starts.

If the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed within the valid period, the promotion effect is generated, and the operation is invalid during the promotion effect. Then, the button image after promotion is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the operation valid period starts again. When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed during the operation valid period, the winning result in the fluctuation is notified.

Further, for example, although the valid period of the central pressing operation unit 303a starts at the start of the button display effect, the central pressing is performed between the start of the button display effect and the timing of the promotion effect (for example, any of timings 4 to 7). When the operation unit 303a is pressed, a promotion effect may occur. After that, when the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed during the valid period after the promoted button image is displayed on the effect display device 1600, the winning result in the fluctuation is notified. It is desirable that the pattern for performing the promotion effect after the start of the button display effect is selected only when the jackpot fluctuates (that is, the pattern for determining the jackpot). Assuming that the pattern is selected in the out-of-order fluctuation, the player operates the central pressing operation unit 303a with the expectation that the winning result will be announced by the button effect, but unexpected development (whether or not it is a big hit). This is because there is a risk of becoming a shoulder-opening due to the fact that the development is not announced.

Further, for example, although the valid period of the central pressing operation unit 303a starts at the start of the button display effect, the central pressing is performed between the start of the button display effect and the timing of the promotion effect (for example, any of timings 4 to 7). When the operation unit 303a is pressed, an effect that expects the occurrence of a promotion effect (for example, a dialogue effect such as "Don't rush! I'll be promoted soon!") May be executed. In such a case, the promotion effect is not performed at the timing when the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed as described above, but the promotion effect is performed at the predetermined promotion timing.

Further, for example, when a promotion effect occurs after the button display effect is started, immediately after the line "ka-ra-no-" is displayed on the effect display device 1600, the fanning effect is once again executed after the promotion, and then. The button display effect may be executed again. In this case, the promotion target by the promotion effect may be the background color that appeared in the previous fanning effect, the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a in the button display effect, or both. Good.

Specifically, for example, when the fanning effect ends with a blue background and "ka-ra-no-" is displayed after the blue small push display is displayed in the button display effect, then it is promoted to a red background. A button display effect in which a small blue push display is displayed may be performed by performing a fanning effect. Further, specifically, for example, when the fanning effect ends with a blue background, and after the small blue push display is displayed in the button display effect, "ka-ra-no-" is displayed, then the blue background. The fanning effect of is performed again, and the button display effect in which the large red push display is displayed may be performed.

Further, in the above-described example, the promotion effect is performed only by one of the fanning effect and the button display effect, but the promotion effect may be executed by both of them. In addition, a plurality of promotion effects may be executed within one fanning effect and one button display effect. An example in which the background color changes as a fanning effect has been described, but in addition to the background color, it is displayed before the center pressing operation unit 303a is displayed and overlaps with the area where the center pressing operation unit 303a is displayed. There is no need to worry about the background color, such as changing the color of the effect (light gathering effect, etc.) displayed in.

[15. Hold notice production]
[15-1. Hold notice due to color change]
In the present embodiment, the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 based on the hold number designation command transmitted from the main control board 1310, but the hold display is displayed until the hold display is exhausted. By changing the above, it is possible to execute a hold notice effect that suggests a jackpot expectation for a variable display of a decorative symbol (variable display of a special symbol) based on the hold display. In addition, during the display period of the hold display, it is possible to execute a hold change effect that suggests that the display mode of the hold display may change.

Specifically, a hold number designation command and a pre-determination command are transmitted from the main control board 1310 based on the fact that the game ball has won a prize (starting condition is satisfied) in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004. .. Then, when the peripheral control board 1510 receives the hold number designation command and the pre-determination command in the command analysis process of step S601, the hold notice determination table corresponding to those commands, that is, the hold number specified from the hold number designation command. Select the hold notice determination table corresponding to the (number of pending storages) and the advance judgment information (either big hit, small hit, reach loss, or loss) specified from the advance judgment command, and the judgment set in the hold notice decision table. By comparing the value with the read random number for determining the hold notice, the type of the hold notice pattern set in the hold notice determination table is determined.

In the hold notice determination table, the distribution of the judgment value for each hold notice pattern is different for each advance judgment information (either big hit, small hit, reach loss, or loss) specified from the advance judgment command, and each hold is made. The appearance rate of the notice pattern is different.

In addition, when a game ball wins a prize (starting condition is satisfied) in the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004, the number of holds (number of hold memories) specified by the hold number designation command increases, so that the effect display is displayed. One hold display is added to and displayed on the device 1600. On the other hand, when the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on the hold display is started (the start condition is satisfied), the number of holds (the number of stored items) specified by the hold number specification command decreases. , The hold display on the effect display device 1600 is erased. Then, during the display period from when the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 until the hold display is erased, the display mode of the hold display is displayed based on the hold notice pattern, and the hold display and the hold display are displayed. Allows the display mode of the hold display to be changed each time the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on another hold display is started (the start condition is satisfied).

In the present embodiment, when the variable display of the decorative symbol (variable display of the special symbol) based on the reserved display is started (the start condition is satisfied), the reserved display is deleted, but the decorative symbol of the decorative symbol is deleted. Even after the start of the variable display (variable display of the special symbol), the hold display may be continuously displayed and the display mode of the hold display may be changed. In such a case, the position where the hold display is displayed on the effect display device 1600 moves before and after the start of the change display of the decorative symbol (variation display of the special symbol) based on the hold display, as in the case of other hold displays. It may be suggested that the display mode of the hold display may be changed by executing the hold change effect.

Next, a hold color determination table in which a plurality of types of hold color patterns are set for each hold number (hold storage number) specified from the hold number designation command will be described with reference to FIGS. 247, 248, and 249. To do. The hold notice determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510.

FIG. 247 (A) is a hold color determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening during no hold and non-execution of fluctuation. FIG. 247 (B) is a hold color determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening during no hold and variable execution. FIG. 248 (C) is a hold color determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening in a state where there is one hold. FIG. 249 (D) is a hold color determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening in a state where there are two holds. FIG. 249 (E) is a hold color determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening in a state where there are three holds. It is not necessary to use the pre-judgment command to determine the hold color when there is no hold and the variable is not being executed.

In the hold color determination table, a pattern indicating the hold color at the timing when the hold color can be changed, the distribution in the hit variation of the pattern, and the distribution in the out-of-order variation are defined. Note that the start of the 1st change is when the change starts in the state where the hold of the color change target according to the pattern is the first hold (that is, the change corresponding to the hold is executed in the next change). Is. Similarly, at the start of the holding 2 fluctuation, the fluctuation starts in a state where the hold of the color change target according to the pattern is the second hold (that is, the fluctuation corresponding to the hold is executed in the next fluctuation). It's time. Similarly, at the start of the 3rd change, the change is in a state where the hold of the color change target according to the pattern is the 3rd hold (that is, the change corresponding to the hold is executed 3 times ahead). It's time to start.

The peripheral control MPU changes the reserved color at each timing according to the color indicated by the pattern. It should be noted that the distribution in the reserved color determination table is predetermined so that the jackpot expectation is higher in the order of white, blue, green, red, and rainbow. In addition, the rainbow color is predetermined so that it is selected only when the jackpot fluctuates.

In addition, in each pattern of the reserved color determination table, the change to the reserved color with a low expectation of big hit is not performed. Specifically, for example, after the reserved color becomes blue, it does not return to white. If there is a possibility of changing to a reserved color with a low jackpot expectation, the player cannot get a sense of expectation even if the reserved color becomes a color with a high expectation.

In addition, the reserved color determination table has a pattern in which a plurality of stages of color promotion are executed. Specifically, for example, there is a pattern in which the reserved color is changed from white to red by skipping blue and green. Due to the existence of such a pattern, for example, at the final timing of the reserved color change, even if the color remains white, there is still a possibility that the color will change to a color with a high expectation of a big hit. You can maintain your expectations until the end.

Further, for example, the reserved color of blue or higher may be selected only in the reach variation, or the reserved color of red or higher may be selected only in the variation in which SP reach is executed. In addition, when the fluctuation is suspended in a state where the jackpot fluctuation is included in the fluctuation during execution or pending, the peripheral control MPU forcibly sets the reserved color change pattern for the fluctuation to all white (that is,). You may decide on a pattern consisting of standard colors).

FIG. 250 is an example of a changing pending color determination table. In the variable hold color determination table, a pattern showing the hold color at the timing when the change hold color can change during the change execution, the distribution in the hit variation of the pattern, the distribution in the out-of-range variation, and the variation for each variation pattern It is defined for each reserved color at the start. That is, the peripheral control MPU determines the reserved color change pattern during fluctuation according to the reserved color at the start of fluctuation, the fluctuation pattern of the fluctuation, and whether the fluctuation is a hit fluctuation or a missed fluctuation.

In the example of FIG. 250, three promotion timings are defined for each fluctuation pattern, but the number of promotion timings may be different for each fluctuation pattern. Further, the promotion timing itself may be different for each fluctuation pattern. For example, in the execution pattern in which the SP reach is changed, the promotion timing includes, for example, the time when the reach is established, the time when the SP reach is developed, and the time when the latter half of the SP reach is started. The jackpot expectation and change pattern of each reserved color are the same as those in the reserved color determination table.

FIG. 251 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a hold notice effect due to a hold color change. (A) is a state in which the fluctuation is not held and the fluctuation is being performed. (B) is a state in which the game ball B has entered the first starting port 2002 in a state where the fluctuation is being performed. In (B), the reserved color determination table of FIG. 247 (B) was referred to, and the reserved color at the time of winning and the start of fluctuation was determined to be green.

(C) is a state in which the fluctuation in (B) has been completed. (D) is a state in which the fluctuation corresponding to the green hold has started. (E) is a state in which the change has developed into a reach. In (E), the hold remains green. (F) is a state developed into SP reach in the fluctuation. In (F), the hold remains green. (G) is a state in which the latter half of the SP reach has started in the fluctuation. At the beginning of the second half of the SP reach, the hold turned red.

[15-2. Hold notice production due to change in gacha coin]
Up to this point, the hold notice effect due to the hold color change has been explained. Hereinafter, the hold notice effect due to the hold being displayed as a gacha coin and the hold being changed will be described. In the hold notice effect, for example, the hold is displayed in the form of coins (hereinafter referred to as gacha coins) at the time of winning, and the number of coins increases at the timing when the hold moves, or coins different from the normal mode (hereinafter referred to as gacha coins). , Called a rare gacha coin).

Then, for example, at the start of the fluctuation corresponding to the hold, the effect display device 1600 executes the gacha-gacha as many times as the number of gacha coins and rare gacha coins, and obtains the same number of hold displays. Then, the hold display indicating the fluctuation currently being executed changes to the hold display of the color having the highest expectation of a big hit among the acquired hold displays. It should be noted that the change to the hold display to the color with the highest expectation of big hit is not limited to the change to any of the displayed hold displays. Although the hold of gacha coins and rare gacha coins is displayed, the hold of gacha coins and rare gacha coins may be displayed without executing the gacha at the start of the fluctuation corresponding to the hold.

A gacha coin hold determination table in which a plurality of types of gacha coin hold patterns are set for each hold number (hold memory number) specified from the hold number specification command will be described with reference to FIGS. 252, 253, and 254. .. The gacha coin hold determination table is stored in the ROM of the peripheral control board 1510.

FIG. 252 (A) is a gacha coin hold determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening during no hold and non-execution of fluctuation. FIG. 252 (B) is a gacha coin hold determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening during no hold and variable execution. FIG. 253 (C) is a gacha coin hold determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening in a state where there is one hold. FIG. 254 (D) is a gacha coin hold determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening in a state where there are two holds. FIG. 254 (E) is a gacha coin hold determination table used when the game ball B wins a prize at the start opening in a state where there are three holds. It is not necessary to use the pre-judgment command to determine the gachacoin hold when there is no hold and the fluctuation is not executed.

Similar to the hold color determination table, the gacha coin hold determination table includes a pattern indicating the type and number of gacha coins at the timing when the hold color can be changed, distribution in the hit variation of the pattern, and distribution in the out-of-range variation. Is defined.

The peripheral control MPU changes the type and number of gacha coins at each timing according to the type and number of gacha coins indicated by the pattern. In addition, the distribution in the gacha coin hold decision table is predetermined so that the jackpot expectation is higher in the order of 1 gacha coin, 3 gacha coins, 5 gacha coins, 1 rare gacha coin, and 5 rare gacha coins. Has been done. In addition, even five rare gacha coins with the highest expectation of big hits may be selected by the deviation fluctuation.

As with the hold color determination table, in each pattern of the gacha coin hold decision table, the change to the gacha coin with a low jackpot expectation is not performed. Further, similar to the hold color determination table, the gacha coin hold determination table has a pattern in which promotion of gacha coins in a plurality of stages is executed. In addition, when the fluctuation is suspended while the fluctuation during execution or pending includes the jackpot fluctuation, the peripheral control MPU is forcibly displayed as a normal white hold instead of the gacha coin hold. You may do so.

In the illustrated gacha coin hold determination table, when the gacha coin hold is displayed, the gacha coin is always displayed from the time of winning, but for example, the normal white hold is displayed at the time of winning. , There may be a pattern in which the hold changes to a gacha hold by the start of the fluctuation corresponding to the hold. However, it is desirable that there is no pattern that changes to Gachacoin after the reserved color is promoted to blue or higher. This is because the reserved color may reduce the expected feeling of promotion.

FIG. 255 is an example of a gacha coin holding color correspondence table. In the gacha coin hold color correspondence table, the correspondence between the type and number of gacha coins at the start of fluctuation and the hold color with the highest expectation of big hit among the hold displays acquired by the gacha at the start of fluctuation, and the big hit fluctuation and loss The distribution in which the corresponding response is selected for each fluctuation is defined.

The Gachacoin hold color table is stipulated so that there will be no situation in which only white hold display can be obtained even though Gachacoin has been used for gacha. This is because when such a situation occurs, the player cannot get a sense of expectation for the production in which the gacha is executed.

In addition, "coin" in the hold color column indicates that the gacha is not executed and the change is executed while the hold is displayed as gacha coin or rare gacha coin. In the gacha coin hold decision table, the jackpot expectation when the gacha is not executed is set low, but as shown in Fig. 255, the gacha is executed when there are 5 rare gacha coins, which is the mode with the highest jackpot expectation. If not, the jackpot may be set to be fixed.
In addition, the gacha coin hold color compatible table does not have to include a pattern in which the gacha is not executed. That is, in this case, when the hold display of the gacha coin or the rare gacha coin appears, it always changes to the hold display having the jackpot expectation degree higher than the blue hold.

Regarding jackpot fluctuations, the distribution to "coins", which indicates that the gacha is not executed and the fluctuation is executed with the display of gacha coins or rare gacha coins, is 1 gacha coin and 3 gacha coins. Any of the coins, 5 gacha coins, 1 rare gacha coin, and 5 rare gacha coins is set lower than the rate of change to the colored hold display (32 / for 1 coin). It remains a coin at 128, but changes to some color at 96/128). This is because the expectation is generally higher when the display is changed to the colored hold display, so that it is possible to prevent the coin from ending as a coin.

The distribution indicated by the gacha coin hold color correspondence table determines the hold color with the highest expectation of a big hit for a plurality of hold displays acquired using a plurality of gacha coins or rare gacha coins. For example, the colors of the hold display other than the hold colors with high expectations are randomly determined.

Specifically, for example, if three coins have been acquired and it is decided to display red as the hold color, the hold color indicated by the remaining two coins is expected to exceed red. It means that it is randomly determined from "coins", "blue", "green", and "red" excluding the rainbow color that has. Also, it is not random, for example, "blue", "green", "red" is pattern 1, "green", "green", "red" is pattern 2, "blue", "red", "red" is pattern 3, and so on. A plurality of patterns may be provided for each number of coins and the final color, and the pattern may be determined from among them. In addition, when the hold color with the highest expectation of big hit is not decided (when one of the displayed hold colors is decided), for example, pattern 2 is more likely to be promoted to red than pattern 1. It is good to set.

In the gacha coin hold color correspondence table, all the hold display colors acquired by a plurality of gacha coins or rare gacha coins may be defined. In this case, even if the hold colors with the highest expectation of big hits are the same, it is preferable that the distribution is set so that the higher the number of hold displays having the hold colors, the higher the expectation of big hits (specifically). For example, using three gacha coins, obtains a hold display of "red, blue, white" and obtains a hold display of "red, red, red" rather than a case where the hold display changes to red. The jackpot expectation is higher when the hold display turns red).

The change pattern of the hold display in the change after the change to the colored normal hold display at the start of the change by the gacha coin or the rare gacha coin is determined by using the changing hold color determination table of FIG. 250. That is, even if the Gachacoin hold notice is changed to the colored normal hold display, the hold change pattern by the hold color is used as in the case where the hold color change notice continues. However, for each pattern in the changing hold color determination table of FIG. 250, even if the distribution of each pattern during the jackpot fluctuation and the distribution during the out-of-order fluctuation are different between the time when the gacha coin hold notice is passed and the time when it is not passed. Good.

In the above-mentioned example, the effect of changing the gacha coin hold to the hold color display due to the gacha is performed at the start of the change of the hold corresponding to the gacha coin, but it is executed at another timing after the start of the change. May be good. The timing includes, for example, immediately before the establishment of the reach, immediately after the establishment of the reach, and the development of the SP reach when the SP reach is executed. However, for example, when an image prompting the operation of the specific operation unit is displayed during the reach effect and the effect prompting the operation of the operation unit is executed, the last timing is before the start of displaying the image. Is desirable.

For example, if the final hold color is the same, the hold color will be higher when the jackpot expectation is higher when the gacha coin hold notice is passed than when the gacha coin hold notice is not passed. It is desirable that the distribution is set in the decision table, the gacha coin hold color correspondence table, and the like.

In the above example, the number of stages of holding gacha coins (5 stages of 1 gacha coin, 3 gacha coins, 5 gacha coins, 1 rare gacha coin, 5 rare gacha coins) and the number of holding color stages (5 levels of white, blue, green, red, and iridescent) are the same, but may be different. If the number of stages is different, it is desirable that the number of stages for holding gacha coins is larger. Since the gacha coin hold also eventually changes to the hold of the colored display, the player recognizes the final jackpot expectation by holding the colored display. That is, if the number of stages of the reserved colors is large, it is difficult for the player to grasp the final jackpot expectation unless he / she remembers the order of the jackpot expectations of all the colors.

Although not shown, in the peripheral control ROM, for example, a distribution in which the gacha coin hold display is selected and a distribution in which the normal hold display (colored hold including white) is selected as the hold at the time of winning. And, the table defined for each fluctuation pattern is stored. The peripheral control MPU selects the gacha coin hold display or the normal hold display with reference to the table, and refers to the gacha coin hold color correspondence table or the hold color determination table according to the selected display mode to change the hold. Determine the pattern.

The jackpot expectation when the gacha coin hold display is selected is generally set higher than the jackpot expectation when the normal hold display is selected, but the jackpot expectation is the lowest gacha coin hold (Gacha). It is assumed that the highest hold (red), which can be selected even if the normal hold display is out of alignment, has a higher expectation of a big hit than (one coin).

FIG. 256 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the gacha coin hold notice effect. (A) is a state in which the fluctuation is not held and the fluctuation is being performed. (B) is a state in which the game ball B has entered the first starting port 2002 in a state where the fluctuation is being performed. In (B), the gacha coin hold determination table of FIG. 252 (B) is referred to, and the hold display at the time of winning is determined to be "1 gacha coin" and the hold display at the start of fluctuation is determined to be "3 gacha coins". , FIG. 255 is a diagram when red is determined as the reserved color.

(C) is a state in which the fluctuation in (B) has been completed. (D) is a state in which the fluctuation corresponding to the hold changed to Gachacoin has started. At the start of the fluctuation, the hold display, which was "1 gacha coin", has changed to "3 gacha coins". (E) is a state in which the gacha-gacha production is executed three times using three gacha coins. The Gachacoin hold color correspondence table is referred to, and the hold color with the highest expectation of big hit is decided to be green. Therefore, in (E), among the three hold displays acquired by the gacha-gacha production, the one with the highest expectation for a big hit is green.

(F) is a continuation state of the fluctuation. The hold display corresponding to the change has changed to green, which has the highest expectation of a big hit, among the three hold displays acquired by the Gacha Gacha production. (G) is a state in which the change has developed into a reach. In (G), the hold remains green. (H) is a state developed into SP reach in the fluctuation. In (H), the hold remains green. (I) is a state in which the latter half of the SP reach has started in the fluctuation. At the beginning of the second half of the SP reach, the hold turned red.

After the gacha coin hold notice is changed to the normal hold display (colored hold display including white), the change mode of the hold display is the same as when the gacha coin hold notice is not passed, so (G), (H). ) And (I) are the same as those in FIGS. 251 (E), (F), and (G), respectively. In addition to this, for example, the three hold displays acquired by the gacha-gacha production are set to "blue", "green", and "red", and the state shown in FIG. 256 (F) is changed to red, and FIG. 256 (G). The timing of color promotion, such as showing the final color before the start of reach shown in (1), may be appropriately determined.

[16. Reach collapse pseudo-continuous production]
Hereinafter, the reach collapse pseudo-continuous production will be described. First, the pseudo continuous production will be described. The pseudo-continuous effect is an effect in which the operation of changing the decorative symbol and ending the change of the decorative symbol is executed a plurality of times during one change of the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display. .. "Ending the variation of the decorative symbol" means, for example, a mode in which a part or all of the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed, a mode in which the player is made to recognize that the variation of the decorative symbol is once completed, and a mode of the decorative symbol. A mode in which a pseudo-ream symbol (a symbol in which a pseudo-ream is confirmed if this symbol is stopped) is partially stopped. A pseudo-continuous effect in which the operation is performed N times (N is a natural number of 1 or more) is called an N-series pseudo-continuous effect, and the M-th variation of the decorative symbol (M is 1 or more N) in the N-series pseudo-continuous effect. The following natural numbers) are called the M-th pseudo continuous production.

In addition, while suggesting to the player that the operation may be executed again during one change of the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display, the operation is actually executed again. The production that does not occur is called "pseudo-gase production". In addition, although two pseudo-continuous effects are executed, there is also a pseudo-gase effect in which the third pseudo-continuous effect is not executed while suggesting the execution of the third pseudo-continuous effect. Hereinafter, the pseudo-continuous production is also simply referred to as "pseudo-continuous production" or "pseudo-ream".

Pseudo-continuous effect is generated or continued, that is, the operation of changing the decorative symbol and ending the fluctuation of the decorative symbol is executed again during one change of the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display. Peripheral control MPU may stop the pseudo-continuous symbol at at least one of the left decorative symbol, the intermediate decorative symbol, and the right decorative symbol when it is confirmed that the pattern is to be performed. In the following example, the peripheral control MPU stops a character such as "continue!" As a pseudo-continuous symbol on the intermediate decorative symbol. In addition, for example, a combination of specific decorative symbols (for example, the left decorative symbol, the middle decorative symbol, and the right decorative symbol are all odd or even numbers and reach does not occur) may be used as a pseudo-continuous symbol.

In each variation, whether or not the pseudo-ream is executed and the number of pseudo-reams when the pseudo-ream is executed are defined in the fluctuation pattern. In addition, the selection rate of the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation pattern table is determined so that the jackpot expectation level increases as the number of pseudo-reams increases.

FIG. 257 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a reach collapse pseudo continuous effect. FIG. 257 (A) shows a state in which the fluctuation has started. Subsequently, in (B), the left decorative symbol is stopped, and the right decorative symbol is the same symbol as the left decorative symbol, and is about to stop (becoming in a reach state) in a shaking manner, for example. In (C), the decorative symbol maintains the state of (B), and an image urging the center pressing operation unit 303a to be pressed is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

(D) is a state immediately after the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in (C). A display (“x2!”) Indicates that the decorative symbol that was about to reach the reach state has started to change again and the second pseudo-ream has started, is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

Subsequently, in (E), the left decorative symbol is stopped again, and the right decorative symbol is the same symbol as the left decorative symbol, and is about to stop, for example, in a shaking manner. In addition, a display (“x2”) indicating that the second pseudo-ream is currently being executed is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In (F), the decorative symbol maintains the state of (E), and an image urging the center pressing operation unit 303a to be pressed is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

It is assumed that the same effect is repeated and the fourth pseudo-ream is performed. In (G), the decorative symbol maintains the state of (E), and an image urging the center pressing operation unit 303a to be pressed is displayed on the effect display device 1600. A display (“x4”) indicating that the fourth pseudo-ream is currently being executed is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

(H) is a state in which the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in (G), but the reach is formed without breaking the decorative pattern that is about to reach the reach state. A reach state is formed by an even number of decorative patterns. In addition, it is assumed that the expected value of the balls to be obtained by the big hit is large in the order of even numbered, odd numbered other than 7, and 7 decorative symbols. A display (“x4”) indicating that the fourth pseudo-ream is currently being executed is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition, although it was explained that it is about to reach (the vertical positions of the left and right decorative symbols are slightly different), from the state of reaching (the vertical positions of the left and right decorative symbols are the same), FIG. 257. As in (c), an image urging the center pressing operation unit 303a to be pressed may be displayed on the effect display device 1600.

FIG. 258 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the reach symbol promotion effect executed following the reach collapse pseudo continuous effect. The reach symbol promotion effect is an example of SP reach. FIG. 258 (I) shows a state in which the reach symbol promotion effect has started. The characters "Promote the reach symbol !!" are displayed on the effect display device 1600. In the reach symbol promotion effect, for example, the even reach is promoted to the odd reach or the 7 reach, and the odd reach is promoted to the 7 reach. Here, even-numbered reach <odd-numbered reach <7 reach is advantageous (for example, it is easy to hit a jackpot). In particular, this 7 reach is a fairly intense production (for example, a jackpot expectation of over 80%). In (I), since the reach collapse effect is completed, the display indicating the number of pseudo-reams is erased from the effect display device 1600.

Subsequently, in (J), an image prompting the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is displayed on the effect display device 1600. A white effect image is displayed on the background of the image of the center pressing operation unit 303a. Further, in (J), for example, the decorative pattern during reach is displayed in a manner as if it is shaking.

(K) is a state in which the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in (J) and the reach symbol is successfully promoted. A display (“promotion !!!”) indicating that the reach symbol has been promoted is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition, the decorative design has been promoted to odd reach. Also, the color of the background effect image has changed from white to blue.

For example, the color of the effect image of the reach symbol promotion effect background is white when the reach is even, blue when the reach is odd other than 7, and red when the reach is 7. Even if the promotion of the reach symbol fails, the reach effect (for example, SP reach effect) is performed by the reach symbol, the winning is announced, and the symbol is confirmed.

Subsequently, in (L), the characters "Promote the reach symbol !!" are displayed again on the effect display device 1600. Subsequently, in (M), an image prompting the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is displayed on the effect display device 1600. Further, at this time, for example, the decorative pattern being reached is displayed in a manner as if it were shaking.

(N) is a state in which the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in (M) and the reach symbol is successfully promoted. A display (“promotion !!!”) indicating that the reach symbol has been promoted is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition, the decorative design has been promoted to 7 reach. Also, the color of the background effect image has changed from blue to red. Although the illustration is omitted, after that, a reach effect (for example, SP reach effect) with 7 symbols is performed, the winning is announced, and the symbol is confirmed.

In addition, the final reach symbol is confirmed (reach symbol promotion effect) from the first period in which the reach collapse pseudo-continuous effect, which is the effect of the same mode (reach symbol mode) that is repeatedly performed, and the end of the first period. Comparing with the second period up to the last), it is desirable that the second period is longer. Since the player pays the most attention to the winning result of the fluctuation, the longer the second period for notifying the winning result more directly, the more the player's interest can be maintained, and the above-mentioned 7 Since the jackpot expectation of reach is set to an exceptional value, it is possible to provide the player with a feeling of exhilaration for a long time when the second period is longer than the first period.

Further, it is desirable that the number of times that the central pressing operation unit 303a is urged to press in the first period is larger than the number of times that the central pressing operation unit 303a is urged to press in the second period. The longer the time from the start of the fluctuation to the prompting of the operation of the operation unit, the more the player tends to think that when the operation of the operation unit is prompted, the winning result of the fluctuation is notified by the operation. .. Therefore, if the number of times to prompt the operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is large in the second period in which the elapsed time from the start of the fluctuation is long, the player will be prepared for each operation, which may cause tiredness. The number of times is as described above.

Further, it is desirable that the time interval between the effects that prompt the central pressing operation unit 303a that is repeatedly performed in the first period is shorter than the time interval between the effects that prompt the central pressing operation unit 303a that is repeatedly performed in the second period. Hereinafter, the effect of urging the pressing of the central pressing operation unit 303a is also referred to as an operation request effect. As mentioned above, since the second period is a more direct notification of the winning result than the first period, if it takes time between the operation request productions in the first period, the player is interested. This is because it cannot be maintained. Further, as for the time interval between the effects of urging the central pressing operation unit 303a to be repeatedly performed in the first period, the effect of urging the first central pressing operation unit 303a in the second period after the end of the first period is displayed. For the same reason, it is said that the time interval is shorter than the time interval.

Further, it is desirable that the operation valid period in the one operation request effect in the second period is longer than the operation valid period in the one operation request effect in the first period. This is because there are some players who want to slowly perform the pressing operation in the second period with a sense of tension because the effect of notifying the winning result more directly in the second period than in the first period.

Depending on the content of the reach collapse pseudo-ream effect (for example, the number of pseudo-reams is a predetermined number of times (for example, 3 times) or less), the operation request effect may not be executed even if the SP reach is subsequently developed. However, it is desirable that the ratio in which the operation request effect is executed in the SP reach is higher than the ratio in which the operation request effect is not executed in the SP reach that has been developed after the reach collapse pseudo continuous effect occurs. As a result, it is possible to give the player an uplifting feeling due to the occurrence of the reach collapse pseudo-continuous production.

As described above, in the examples of FIGS. 257 and 258, the display mode of the operation request effect in the first period is one type, but the display mode of the operation request effect in the second period is a plurality of types (accompanied by a blue effect). Display and display with red effect).

Further, after the operation request effect is started, a timer (or a gauge or the like) indicating the remaining operation valid period may be displayed on the effect display device 1600. In this case, the time from the start of the operation request effect to the display of the timer in the first period is shorter than the time from the start of the operation request effect to the display of the timer in the second period.

Further, although not shown, when the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in the operation request effect in the second period, a predetermined movable body may operate according to the winning result. Specifically, for example, the movable body operates in the case of a jackpot fluctuation, and the movable body does not operate in the case of a missed fluctuation. On the other hand, when the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in the operation request effect in the first period, the movable body does not operate regardless of the hit result.

Further, the movable body may operate even when the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in the operation request effect in the first period, but the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed in the operation request effect in the second period. It is different from the movement mode of the movable body in the case (for example, the movement direction and the movement amount of the movable body are different, or the moving movable body is different).

Further, in the first period, a specific effect (for example, a cut-in effect) may be executed when the reach collapses and the pseudo-ream starts. There may be a plurality of types of such specific effects. Further, depending on the type of a specific effect, it may appear so that the jackpot expectation of the fluctuation increases and the next reach collapse is confirmed.

In addition, when a specific effect with high expectations appears, it is desirable not to lower the expectation in the specific effect of the transition (specifically, for example, when a green cut-in effect appears, it is blue. Cut-in effect does not appear). Further, in the first period, a predetermined movable body may operate when the reach collapses and the pseudo-ream starts. The movement of the movable body may be the same each time, or the movement or the moving accessory itself may be different depending on the current number of pseudo-reams.

Further, although a plurality of operation request effects are executed in the first period, the time interval between the operation request effects may be gradually shortened, or the time interval between the operation request effects may be shortened from the predetermined number of times onward. You may. However, for example, the time interval between the operation request effect immediately before the end and the last operation request effect may be longer than the time interval between the other operation request effects.

[17. Sugoroku stage production]
The production during the Sugoroku stage will be described below. The sugoroku stage is an example of a specific production state, and the sugoroku production is performed during the fluctuation and the game progresses. Specifically, a sugoroku map is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the back lower middle rotating decoration 3310 rotates during fluctuation, and when the rotation stops, the number indicated by the back lower middle rotating decoration 3310 is increased. The character drawn on the sugoroku map advances through the squares. The effect indicated by the square in which the character has stopped is executed in the fluctuation or the pending fluctuation.

It should be noted that the rotation operation of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 does not necessarily have to be performed in all the fluctuations. In the variation in which the rotating decoration body 3310 is not rotated, for example, the character does not move the squares, that is, stays in the same squares. In addition, as an opportunity to start the sugoroku stage, the player may move to the sugoroku stage with a predetermined probability at the start of the fluctuation, or even if it is specified to stay in the sugoroku stage after a predetermined number of fluctuations after the end of the advantageous gaming state. Alternatively, the transition may be made as part of the look-ahead effect using the above-mentioned pre-determination command.

FIGS. 259 and 260 are explanatory views showing an example of the production on the sugoroku stage. (A) is a state immediately before the fluctuation starts. A large decorative symbol is stopped at the center of the effect display device 1600. Also, nothing is displayed in the sugoroku square. Further, it is assumed that there are three pending fluctuations at the time of (A). (B) is a state in which the fluctuation has started. A large decorative symbol begins to fluctuate in the center of the effect display device 1600.

In (C), the large decorative symbol in the center of the effect display device 1600 is erased, and the small decorative symbol is changed in the upper right portion of the effect display device 1600. In addition, when the large decorative pattern is erased, a display indicating the content of the effect is displayed in the sugoroku squares. Further, for example, at the same timing, the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 starts rotating. At the timing of (B), the rotation of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 may be started.

In (D), the lower back middle rotating ornament 3310 stops rotating. The number of the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 located at the uppermost position indicates the number of squares in which the character advances. In (D), the lower back middle rotating ornament 3310 points to "2".

In (E), the character moves by 2 squares. The "x" in the square after moving 2 squares indicates that no special effect is performed. Therefore, no special effect is performed, and the decorative design is stopped in (F). When the decorative symbol is stopped, a large decorative symbol is displayed in the center of the effect display device 1600.

In (G), the camera that shoots the sugoroku stage moves so that the character is located in the last square of the sugoroku squares displayed on the sugoroku display device 1600 in the effect display device 1600. Perform the production. At the end of (G), the same as in (A). Then, in (H), the next fluctuation starts. The details of (H) are the same as those of (B). After that, the same production is repeated.

(I) is a state in which the final change of the stage is being executed, and the details are the same as in (C). (J) is a continuation state of the final fluctuation. In (J), the ascending operation (operation different from the rotating operation) is performed so that the rotating decorative body 3310 in the lower back is closer to the hold display area (hold display area for the fluctuation) in the effect display device 1600 while rotating. To do. The ascending operation can be executed only in the final fluctuation. When the ascending motion is performed, the contents of the sugoroku squares change to those with high expectations for big hits. The contents of the squares that were "x", "?", And "x" in the state of (I) are all changed to "reach" in the state of (J).

It should be noted that the final fluctuation is set so that the probability that the ascending operation is performed is higher when the jackpot fluctuation is performed than when the final fluctuation is an out-of-bounds fluctuation, that is, the final when the ascending operation is performed. It is desirable that the jackpot expectation in the fluctuation is higher than the jackpot expectation when the ascending operation is not performed. As in (K), the lower back middle rotating decoration 3310 may hide a part or all of the hold display area, or may approach the hold display area but not hide it.

Further, the ascending operation may be performed after the rotation of the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 is stopped (that is, after the number is determined). However, it is desirable that the start of the ascending operation is later than the start of the rotational operation in the final fluctuation. This is because, as described above, when the ascending motion is performed, the jackpot expectation is high, and the player can have a sense of expectation that the ascending motion will be performed even after the rotation motion is started.

(K) is a continuation state of the final fluctuation. In (K), the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 returns to the initial position while rotating. It should be noted that the lower middle rotating decorative body 3310 may return to the initial value after stopping the rotation. In (K), the hold of the hidden hold display area is changed from the normal display to the blue hold display (hold display with a higher expectation of big hit than the normal hold display).

It should be noted that the rotation operation of the lower back middle rotation decoration body 3310 can be executed even in the fluctuation in the production state other than the sugoroku stage, but it is more amazing than the probability that the rotation operation is executed in each of a plurality of continuous fluctuations in the sugoroku stage. It is desirable that the probability that the rotation operation is executed in each of the plurality of continuous fluctuations in the effect state other than the stage is set lower. This is because the player can enjoy sugoroku when there are many fluctuations in the character advancing through the squares on the sugoroku stage.

On the other hand, there may be an effect state in which the probability that the rotation operation is executed in each of a plurality of continuous fluctuations is set higher than that of the sugoroku stage. This is because the player can be provided with a sense of surprise by having the effect state in which the under-back middle-rotating decorative body 3310, which seems to be provided for the sugoroku stage, rotates continuously.

Further, although an example in which the rotation operation of the lower back middle rotating decoration body 3310 is performed has been described, an operation of changing the position may be performed instead of an operation of not changing the position such as the rotation operation. For example, the lower back middle rotating decorative body 3310 may slightly rise while rotating (a rise width smaller than the rise operation in the final fluctuation).

[18. Specific zone production]
The production of the specific zone will be described below. Examples of the specific zone are a pine zone and a super pine zone. The pine zone is, for example, a zone that rushes into the sugoroku stage of the previous chapter. In addition, the super pine zone is, for example, a zone that may enter regardless of the stage.

For example, the entry into these specific zones is executed as a look-ahead effect. The look-ahead effect is an effect of executing an effect suggesting a winning result of a pending change before the start of the pending change. The peripheral control MPU refers to the special symbol pre-determination command for the reserved special symbol variation transmitted from the main control MPU, and each of the reserved special symbol fluctuations is a hit variation (that is, a big hit variation or a small hit variation). ) Is determined (look-ahead determination), and the look-ahead effect can be executed based on this determination result.

After entering the pine zone and the super pine zone, the entry state of these zones continues until the fluctuation corresponding to the hold determined to be read ahead (also called the look-ahead target fluctuation). It is assumed that the jackpot expectation of fluctuations corresponding to the look-ahead-determined hold of the pine zone and the super pine zone is high. In addition, it is assumed that the jackpot expectation of the pre-reading target fluctuation is higher when entering the super pine zone than when entering the pine zone. It is desirable that the pine zone and the super pine zone, in which the newly reserved fluctuation is the read-ahead target fluctuation, are not executed while the jackpot fluctuation is being executed or is suspended.

261 and 262 are explanatory views showing an example of a pine zone effect. (A) is a state in which fluctuations during the stage are being executed. The second pending variation of the running variation in (A) is the look-ahead target variation. A look-ahead effect is performed for the change of the look-ahead target from the change of (A). In (A), the effect of stopping the character in the square described as "pine zone" is executed. (B) is a continuation of the fluctuation of (A). A display indicating that the pine zone has been entered is displayed on the effect display device 1600.

In (C), the decorative design is displayed in the center of the effect display device 1600. In addition, a display indicating that the person is staying in the pine zone (“in the pine zone ...”) is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In (D), the change is completed. In the next variation of (C), for example, the same effects as in (C) and (D) are executed.

(E) is a state in which the look-ahead target change has started. Subsequently, a display indicating that the person is staying in the pine zone is displayed on the effect display device 1600. (F) is a state in which reach is established in the change of the look-ahead target. In the state where the reach is established, the display indicating that the player is staying in the pine zone is erased from the effect display device 1600.

In this way, when a specific effect with a high expectation of big hit is being executed, such as when the reach is established, the display indicating that the player is staying in the pine zone is erased, and the player stays in the pine zone until then. It is possible to draw attention to the fact that a specific effect is being performed for the player who has paid great attention to the inside. Further, if it is always displayed that the player is staying in the pine zone, the tension of the player may continue to be tired. It should be noted that the display indicating that the person is staying in the pine zone may be deleted multiple times. Specifically, for example, it may be deleted every time when the execution of the pseudo-ream is confirmed.

In other words, before the SP reach production (rock-paper-scissors game production described later) was started, a specific timing (when the reach was established, when the display that the pseudo-ream was confirmed appeared, and the reach or pseudo-ream occurred. It is advisable to temporarily delete the display indicating that you are staying in the pine zone when you are performing a production related to (emphasized).

In (G), the reach state is continued. In (G), the display indicating that the person is staying in the pine zone is displayed again on the effect display device 1600. (G) is the timing when the player is waiting for whether or not to develop into SP reach, and at that timing, the display that the player is staying in the pine zone with high expectation of big hit is redisplayed, so that the player can You can expect the development to SP reach, remembering that you are in the pine zone.

(H) is a state in which the rock-paper-scissors game production, which is SP reach, has started. The rock-paper-scissors game production is an SP reach that develops due to changes in the look-ahead targets of the pine zone and the super pine zone. The rock-paper-scissors game production is, for example, a production with an extremely high expectation of a big hit among the SP reach productions (for example, the expectation of a big hit is the second highest after the SP reach production that is selected only when the jackpot fluctuates). In addition, even if you enter the pine zone, the rock-paper-scissors game effect is not always executed, but the fluctuation pattern of the look-ahead target fluctuation is selected so that the rock-paper-scissors game effect is always executed when you enter the super pine zone. It is assumed that it has been done.

Further, at the start of the rock-paper-scissors game production, the display indicating that the player is staying in the pine zone is erased from the effect display device 1600, and the display is erased even during the rock-paper-scissors game production. The rock-paper-scissors game production is a production with extremely high expectations for big hits, and this is to draw the player's attention to the rock-paper-scissors game production. For this reason, it is desirable that the jackpot expectation is set higher at the start of the rock-paper-scissors game production than at the time of entering the pine zone.

(I) is a continuation of the rock-paper-scissors game production. The shout of rock-paper-scissors is displayed on the production display device 1600. In (J), a rock-paper-scissors game is being played. The hand of the ally character is displayed on the left side of the effect display device 1600, and the hand of the enemy character is displayed on the right side of the effect display device 1600. In (J), the state in which the ally character has won the rock-paper-scissors game against the enemy character is displayed on the effect display device 1600 (that is, it is notified that the fluctuation is a jackpot fluctuation). In (K), the effect display device 1600 notifies that the jackpot has been won, and the decorative symbols are stopped by the jackpot combination.

263 and 264 are explanatory views showing an example of the super pine zone effect. The entry into the super pine zone is executed, for example, as a hold notice effect. Specifically, for example, the hold is displayed in a mode indicating the possibility of entering the super pine zone (hereinafter, also referred to as a super pine suggestion hold). In addition, a display indicating that the hold is confirmed to enter the super pine zone (hereinafter, also referred to as a super pine confirmed hold), for example, a hold corresponding to the winning is displayed as a super pine suggestion hold at the time of winning. When the hold of the normal display mode moves, it changes to the super pine suggestion hold.

(A) is a state in which fluctuations are being executed and three fluctuations are pending. (B) is the state of (A), in which the fluctuation is newly suspended. In (B), the winning time of the new hold is the super pine suggestion hold (hold described as "super pine?". If the super pine confirmed hold, it is described as "super pine!" It is displayed as a color different from the standard color (for example, white) (for example, red). The super pine suggestion hold is the hold of the look-ahead target change. (C) is a state in which the fluctuation is completed.

(D) is a state in which the next fluctuation has started. (E) is a continuation state of the fluctuation of (D). In (E), the effect display device 1600 executes a dialogue effect (“maybe the super pine zone ...”) suggesting entry into the super pine zone. (F) is the state at the end of the fluctuation. In (F), the effect display device 1600 displays a display (“...”) indicating that the super pine zone could not be entered although the entry into the super pine zone was suggested.

(G) is a state after the next fluctuation of (F) has started. One super pine suggestion hold has moved. In addition, in (G), the dialogue effect ("It may be really the super pine zone !!!") suggesting the entry into the super pine zone is displayed again. The dialogue production in (G) is a production with a higher expectation of entering the super pine zone than the dialogue production in (E). When performing an effect suggesting entry into the super pine zone a plurality of times in this way, it is desirable that the degree of expectation of entry into the super pine zone does not decrease in the effect multiple times.

In (H), a display for confirming the entry into the super pine zone is displayed on the effect display device 1600. As in (H), the super pine suggestion hold may be changed to the super pine final hold at this timing. In the example of FIG. 263, the super pine suggestion hold is changed to the super pine final hold at the timing when the display confirming the entry into the super pine zone appears, but the super pine final hold is held before the timing. Needless to say, may appear. Further, in the example of FIG. 263, the rush to the super pine zone is performed over two fluctuations from the effect of suggesting the rush to the super pine zone, but the rush to the super pine zone may be performed by one fluctuation.

In (I), the decorative design is displayed in the center, and a display indicating that the user is staying in the super pine zone is displayed on the effect display device 1600. In addition, the super pine fixed hold has changed to a hold display in a highly expected mode (in (I), a red hold display). For example, in this state, the fluctuation is digested.

(J) is a state in which the look-ahead target change has started. (K) is a state in which reach is established in the change of the look-ahead target. Similar to the pine zone, in the state where the reach is established, the display indicating that the player is staying in the pine zone is erased from the effect display device 1600.

In this way, when a specific effect with a high expectation of big hits such as the timing when the reach is established is being executed, the display indicating that the player is staying in the super pine zone is deleted, so that the player stays in the super pine zone. It is possible to draw attention to the fact that a specific effect is being performed for the player who has paid great attention to the inside. Further, if the super pine zone is constantly displayed, the player may continue to feel nervous and tired. It should be noted that the display indicating that the person is staying in the super pine zone may be deleted multiple times. Specifically, for example, it may be deleted every time when the execution of the pseudo-ream is confirmed.

That is, as in the case of the pine zone described above, before the SP reach production (rock-paper-scissors game production described above) is started, a specific timing (when the reach is established, when the display that the pseudo-ream is confirmed appears, It is advisable to temporarily delete the display indicating that you are staying in the super pine zone when you are performing (emphasized) production related to the occurrence of reach or pseudo-ream.

In (L), the reach state is continued. In (L), similarly to the pine zone, the display indicating that the user is staying in the super pine zone is displayed again on the effect display device 1600. Since the super pine zone has a higher expectation of a big hit than the pine zone, the player can get an uplifting feeling again by displaying the display during the stay in the super pine zone again.

(M) is a state in which the rock-paper-scissors game production, which is SP reach, has started. As mentioned above, when you enter the super pine zone, a rock-paper-scissors game is always performed. In (M), the display indicating that the user is staying in the super pine zone is erased again from the effect display device 1600. As a result, it is possible to strongly appeal to the player that he has entered the rock-paper-scissors game production.

(N) is a continuation of the rock-paper-scissors game production. The shout of rock-paper-scissors is displayed on the production display device 1600. Further, in (N), the display indicating that the user is staying in the super pine zone is displayed again on the effect display device 1600. As mentioned above, the super pine zone has higher expectations for big hits than the pine zone. Therefore, by displaying the display at the timing when the rock-paper-scissors game is actually performed in the rock-paper-scissors game production, the player is uplifted by the synergistic effect of the two highly expected effects of the rock-paper-scissors game production and the super pine zone. You can get a feeling.

In (O), a rock-paper-scissors game is being played. The hand of the ally character is displayed on the left side of the effect display device 1600, and the hand of the enemy character is displayed on the right side of the effect display device 1600. In (O), the state in which the ally character has won the rock-paper-scissors game against the enemy character is displayed on the effect display device 1600 (that is, it is notified that the fluctuation is a jackpot fluctuation).

Further, in (O), the display indicating that the user is staying in the super pine zone is erased from the effect display device 1600. This is because at the timing when the winning result of the fluctuation has already been notified, only the winning result is important to the player, and it is not important whether or not he / she is staying in the super pine zone. In (P), the effect display device 1600 notifies that the jackpot has been won, and the decorative symbols are stopped by the jackpot combination.

In addition, although the example in which the super pine suggestion hold starts after the super pine suggestion hold appears, if the super pine suggestion hold cannot be entered even though the super pine suggestion hold appears, for example, the super pine suggestion hold is set. Even during the corresponding fluctuation, although it is suggested to enter the super pine zone, the effect of failing to enter is performed.

Further, in the above-mentioned example, no special effect was executed for a change that is not a look-ahead target change while staying in the pine zone or the super pine zone, but a specific effect (for example, the start of a rock-paper-scissors game effect) is performed in these changes. A continuous effect suggesting) may be executed. Further, the entry into the pine zone and the super pine zone may be executed by a normal effect (a part of the effect performed within one fluctuation) other than the look-ahead effect. Specifically, for example, a rushing suggestion effect, a rushing effect, and a rock-paper-scissors game may be executed in a single fluctuation.

In principle, the pine zone is entered by the character stopping at the square indicating the pine zone of the sugoroku stage, so unlike the super pine zone, the hold display does not suggest the pine zone. desirable. If the sugoroku stage suggests a pine zone by the hold display, the contents of the sugoroku squares that are not displayed until after the start of fluctuation will be suggested by the hold display, and there is a possibility that the fun as a sugoroku will decrease. Because there is.

In the above-mentioned pine zone and super pine zone, for example, when a reach occurs, an example of erasing the display indicating that the user is staying in the pine zone or super pine zone has been described, but before the display image ( An image different from the displayed image (for example, a reach enhancement effect) may be displayed so as to overlap on the side (which has a high priority). The point is that the display indicating that you are staying in the pine zone or super pine zone is not recognizable by the player (or is overlapped, but you are staying in the pine zone or super pine zone very slightly. You can see the display indicating).

[19. Hold peeping production]
Hereinafter, the hold peeping effect, which is an example of the hold notice effect, will be described. FIG. 265 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a hold peep effect. (A) is a state in which the fluctuation is being executed. In (A), three fluctuations are pending. In (B), a character appears from below the effect display device 1600, and is one of the hold display areas without hiding the hold display (hold display located in the lower center of the effect display device 1600) corresponding to the fluctuation currently being executed. Part (partly means completely hiding a predetermined number (for example, one) of the four holds, and / or hiding part of each of the four holds (that is, completely holding all four holds). Is hidden). The character may hide the entire hold display area. Further, the hold display (hold display located in the lower center of the effect display device 1600) corresponding to the fluctuation currently being executed by the character may be hidden.

In (C), the character disappears from the effect display device 1600, and a part of the hold display hidden by the character (the third hold in FIG. 265) is changed to the hold display in a highly expected mode. It's changing. (D) is the end of the fluctuation. The decorative design is stopped with a combination indicating that the fluctuation is an out-of-order fluctuation. When only the pending display is hidden as in the example of FIG. 265, it is desirable that the hold peep effect is executed only when the fluctuation during execution is an out-of-order fluctuation.

In addition, when a hold peep effect is executed in a variation in which a normal out-of-range variation pattern (a variation pattern in which a special effect such as a reach effect is not executed and a variation time is long (for example, about 10 seconds)) is selected. At the start of fluctuation, as in the example of FIG. 265, the character does not appear at the start of fluctuation, but appears after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) from the start of fluctuation. In addition, when the hold peep effect is executed in the shortened variation pattern (the variation pattern in which the special effect such as the reach effect is not executed and the variation time is short (for example, less than 10 seconds)), the variation starts or The character may appear after a very short time (a time shorter than the above-mentioned 3 seconds) from the start of the fluctuation (for example, 0.5 seconds later).

Further, before (B), a fanning effect of the hold peep effect may be performed. Specifically, in the fanning effect, for example, an effect is performed in which a character appears in the effect display device 1600 and approaches the hold display area but does not hide the hold display area. Further, although the fanning effect is performed, the character may disappear without hiding the hold display area after that. In the shortened fluctuation pattern described above, since the fluctuation time is short, it is desirable not to perform the fanning effect or to perform it in a short time (for example, about 1 second). Further, when such a fanning effect is performed and the character hides the hold display area, the hold display may be changed without fail.

Further, in the example of FIG. 265, although a part of the hold display hidden in the character has changed, there may be a pattern in which all the hold displays change, or there is a pattern in which all the hold displays do not change. You may.

Even if the color hold display has the same jackpot expectation, the jackpot expectation is higher when the hold peep effect is used than when the hold peep effect is not used, for example. To do. As a result, the player can obtain an uplifting feeling when the hold peep effect is executed. On the contrary, even if the color hold display has the same jackpot expectation, the jackpot expectation may be higher when the hold peep effect is not passed than when the hold peep effect is passed. .. The player's expectation in the hold peeping effect in which the jackpot expectation is suppressed although the hold display changes with a high probability or always at the time of occurrence, and the normal hold color change effect in which the jackpot expectation is high although the occurrence is unpredictable. You can balance the feeling.

Further, as in the example of FIG. 265, in the effect display device 1600, it is desirable to notify that the hold display changes when the character has evacuated from the hold display. If there is a change in the hold color or suggests the hold color after the change before the character evacuates, the period during which the player feels tension in the hold peeping effect is shortened, and the interest is reduced. Because.

However, for example, a light emitting body different from the effect display device 1600 (for example, a lamp or LED attached to the front wall portion 2101 of the starting port unit 2100, or a lamp or LED provided in the vicinity of the starting port unit 2100). Is emitted in a color equivalent to the reserved color displayed on the effect display device 1600, the light emitting body is used before the character is retracted on the effect display device 1600 (that is, before the display of the reserved color after the change). May emit light in the reserved color. The player usually executes the game mainly while looking at the effect display device 1600, but can have a sense of expectation by feeling a change due to a slight change in the color of the illuminant in the field of view. ..

Since the purpose is to make the player recognize the change in the color of the illuminant before the change in the hold color of the effect display device 1600, the effect (control for) in which the hold color of the effect display device 1600 changes is performed. The timing of execution is before the timing of executing the effect of changing the color of the light emitting body, or even if the timing is the same, the player is notified by the change of the color of the light emitting body before the change of the reserved color of the effect display device 1600. There is no problem if it can be recognized.

Further, it is preferable to make the light emitting body emit light in the reserved color (for example, white) of the normal display mode immediately before the light emitting body is made to emit light or immediately before the light emitting color of the light emitting body is changed. Specifically, for example, when the hold color of the hold display on the effect display device 1600 changes from blue to green, the emission color of the light emitting body changes from blue to white before the hold color of the effect display device 1600 changes. , Further changes from white to green. Although an example in which the reserved color in the normal display mode is white has been described, there is no problem as long as the color is not limited to white and is not likely to be selected as the reserved color after promotion in this pending change effect. Further, when displaying white, there is no problem whether it is lit or blinking. If it is lit, the liquid crystal can be watched, and if it is blinking, it can be appealed that a pending change is being performed.

In such a case, it is desirable that the light emitting color of the light emitting body emits white light in the middle for an extremely short time (for example, a time shorter than the shortest fluctuation pattern among all the fluctuation patterns). This is because if the light emitting body emits white light for a long time, the player may be misunderstood if the hold display changes to white, which has a low expectation of a big hit.

When the hold display mode in the effect display device 1600 is a hold in a special mode that cannot be expressed only by color (for example, the super pine suggestion hold as described above), the light emitting body is, for example, in the effect display device 1600. Light emission by a color that is not used in the reserved color change (for example, in the effect display device 1600, when a white, blue, green, red, or iridescent reserved color change can be performed, the light emitter emits purple light). Alternatively, the hold display mode is expressed by executing a predetermined pattern of light emission. Examples of the light emission of the predetermined pattern include a pattern in which red blinks and a pattern in which red and green are alternately emitted.

Further, in the example of FIG. 265, a series of effects in which the character hides the hold display and evacuates is performed only once, but the effects may be executed a plurality of times. When the effect is executed a plurality of times, the mode of the hold display may change each time, the mode of the hold display may change at least once, and the mode of the hold display does not change even once. May be good.

Further, it is desirable that the hold peep effect is performed only for the hold of the special figure 1. When the game is progressing mainly due to the fluctuation of the special figure 2, it is necessary to execute the hold peep effect at high speed because a very short fluctuation time is often selected, for example, in a time saving state. This is because it may confuse the player.

In addition, a plurality of types of characters may exist in the hold peep effect. The degree of expectation of each of the plurality of characters may be different, or the degree of expectation may be common to some or all of the characters. This expectation may be a hold change expectation in the hold peep effect, or may be a jackpot expectation in the hold fluctuation. Specifically, for example, the expectation of holding is higher in the order of character A, character B, and character C, and character C is selected only when the holding change is executed. Further, for example, the expected degree of pending change is higher in character B than in character A, but the expected degree of jackpot change in the case of pending change may be higher in character A than in character B. Further, the character A and the character B may have the same pending change expectation and the jackpot expectation, and the character C may be set to have a higher pending change expectation and the jackpot expectation than the character A and the character B.

In addition, it is desirable that the hold peep effect is performed only when the fluctuation during execution is out of order, but the fluctuation during execution is non-reach fluctuation or reach fluctuation in which the jackpot expectation is not high (for example, normal reach is off). It is more desirable that the hold peep effect is performed only in the case of (variation, etc.). That is, it is desirable that the hold peep effect does not occur not only when the fluctuation during execution is a jackpot fluctuation but also when a reach effect with a high expectation of a big hit such as SP reach is executed.

If the hold peep effect occurs during the fluctuation in which the SP reach is executed, the player thinks that the pending fluctuation has a higher expectation than the currently executed fluctuation, and the SP is concerned. This is because expectations for reach may diminish.

[20. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 in the back-rear effect unit 3100, a transparent guide is provided behind the decorative member composed of the decorative body 3111 and the decorative sheet 3112. The light emitting plate 3113 and the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 are provided, and are mounted on the front surface of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 on each of the plurality of first LED accommodating portions 3113c formed on the rear surface of the light guide radiation plate 3113. The side view type first LED 3114a is inserted so as to be accommodated. When the plurality of first LEDs 3114a mounted on the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 are made to emit light, the light from the first LED 3114a is emitted from the inner surface of the first LED accommodating portion 3113c to the plate surface within the thickness of the light guide emitting plate 3113. It is irradiated in the direction along the light guide emitting plate 3113, is reflected forward by a plurality of reflecting portions 3113e formed on substantially the entire rear surface of the light guide emitting plate 3113, and is radiated from the front surface of the light guide emitting plate 3113 to the front. Become. Then, the light radiated forward from the light guide emitting plate 3113 is radiated forward through the decorative sheet 3112 and the decorative body 3111 constituting the decorative member, so that the decorative portion 3150 is provided. The decorative members having light (decorative body 3111 and decorative sheet 3112) are luminescently decorated.

At this time, the light emitted from the first LED 3114a in the direction along the plate surface of the light guide radiating plate 3113 is reflected forward by the plurality of reflecting portions 3113e within the plate thickness of the light guide radiating plate 3113 to form a decorative body. Since the 3111 and the decorative sheet 3112 are light-emitting and decorated, the light of the first LED 3114a is emitted from the front surface of the light guide emitting plate 3113 as compared with the case where the first LED 3114a is directed to the front to irradiate the light. The distance until it is radiated forward can be lengthened, and the light from the first LED 3114a can be widely diffused and radiated forward from the light guide emitting plate 3113. Therefore, when the first LED 3114a is made to emit light, the light from the first LED 3114a can be widely diffused, and it is possible to suppress the appearance of light emission in a dot shape. Therefore, the decorative body 3111 and the decoration The sheet 3112 can be evenly luminescent and decorated to make it look beautiful, entertaining the player and suppressing a decline in interest.

Further, in the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, since the flat-plate-shaped decorative member (decorative body 3111 and the decorative sheet 3112) and the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 are provided behind the light guide radiation plate 3113, the dimensions in the front-rear direction are reduced. It is possible to easily secure a space for arranging the back-rear movable decoration body 3110, and other production members (back-up front rotation decoration body 3410, back-up rear rotation decoration body 3440, etc.) are arranged. It is possible to easily secure a space for the pachinko machine, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 that is more entertaining to the player by providing various production members.

Further, the decorative member (back-rear movable decorative body 3110) provided with the decorative portion 3150 has a relief portion such as a first decorative protrusion 3111a, a second decorative protrusion 3111b, and a third decorative protrusion 3111c. Since it is composed of the decorative body 3111 and the decorative sheet 3112 having a pattern such as the first contour portion 3112a, the decorative portion 3150 can be given a three-dimensional effect by the relief portion, and the relief portion is used. Due to the lens effect, it is possible to give a sense of depth to the pattern of the decorative sheet 3112 provided at the rear. Therefore, the relief portion of the decorative body 3111 and the pattern of the decorative sheet 3112 can show the player a three-dimensional decoration with a sense of depth (decorative portion 3150), so that the thickness of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 ( Even if the size in the front-rear direction is thinned, the decorative effect is not reduced, the player's attention can be attracted or entertained, and the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 can be made thinner. The above-mentioned action and effect can be surely achieved.

Further, a decorative sheet having a pattern such as the first contour portion 3112a behind the decorative body 3111 having relief portions such as the first decorative protrusion 3111a, the second decorative protrusion 3111b, and the third decorative protrusion 3111c. Since the 3112 is provided, it is possible to make the decorative body 3111 appear to be colored by the color of the pattern of the decorative sheet 3112 without coloring the transparent decorative body 3111, and the cost for the decorative body 3111 is reduced. Can be made to. Further, by changing the design of the decorative sheet 3112, the decoration (decorative portion 3150) of the decorative body 3111 (rear-back movable decorative body 3110) can be easily changed, so that it is possible to change the model or design. It can be a pachinko machine 1 that is easy to handle.

Further, the first contour portion 3112a of the decorative sheet 3112 has a hologram portion in which a part of the pattern as the decorative portion 3150 is displayed due to light interference fringes, and the first LED 3114a of the back-rear decorative substrate 3114 Light from, light from other LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1, light from the effect display device 1600, etc., light in the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc. are holograms of the first contour portion 3112a. By hitting this part, a predetermined hologram can be shown by the interference fringes of light, so that the appearance of the decorative portion 3150 can be improved by the hologram, and the interest of the player can be strongly attracted. Therefore, it is possible to give a three-dimensional effect to a part of the decorative portion 3150 of the back-rear movable decorative body 3110, and even if the back-rear movable decorative body 3110 is thinned, the player can not feel the thinness.

Further, since a part of the pattern in the first contour portion 3112a of the decorative sheet 3112 is composed of the hologram, the hologram is formed by the first decorative protrusion 3111a, the second decorative protrusion 3111b, and the third decorative protrusion. Since it can be seen through the transparent decorative body 3111 having a relief part such as 3111c, the lens effect of the relief part can give a sense of depth to the pattern such as the hologram, which strongly attracts the interest of the player. The possible decoration part 3150 can be shown to the player.
