<Program description>
Here, regarding the process of displaying the display contents on the measurement display device 610 and the setting display device 620 described above, the outline of the program stored in the main control ROM 600b (see FIG. 6) processed by the main control board 60. Will be described in more detail by referring to FIGS. 17 to 29.

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

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

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the set waiting time has become "0" (step S6), and if it has not become "0" (step S6: ≠ 0), returns to the process of step S4. If it is "0" (step S6: = 0), the process proceeds to step S7.

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a clears the watchdog timer (WDT) (not shown) (step S9), and confirms whether or not a signal (power-on signal) indicating that the power has been turned on has arrived from the payout control board 70 (step S9). Step S10). If the power-on signal has not arrived (step S10: OFF), the process returns to step S9, and if the power-on signal has arrived (step S10: ON), the process has a constant cycle provided inside the main control CPU 600a. Set the CTC (Counter Timer Signal) that has a function to create a pulse output and a function to measure the time. That is, the main control CPU 600a sets the time constant register of the CTC so that a timer interrupt is periodically applied every 4 ms (step S11).

<Main processing: Explanation of setting display device>
Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the dedicated key is inserted into the setting key switch 640 shown in FIG. 7 and is turned on (step S12). If the setting key switch 640 is turned on (step S12: YES), the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open (step), as shown in FIG. S13). If the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open (step S13: YES), the main control CPU 600a is the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c shown in FIG. 16 in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6). Are all cleared (step S14).

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a transmits a processing command (effect control command DI_CMD) for displaying to the effect control board 90 that the liquid crystal display device 41 is changing the setting (step S17), and the main control RAM 600c (FIG. 6). (See), the set value of the probability of generating a special gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, the set value of "1" to "6") stored in the player is acquired (step S18).

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

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

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

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

On the other hand, if the setting change completion function is turned on by the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) (step S23: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets the current set value in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) (see FIG. 6). A process of storing in the normal RAM area 600ca of the main control RAM 600c shown in FIG. 16 (step S26) and causing the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 6 to 7 and 13) to display that the set value has been determined. (Step S27). As a result, the dots on the lower right side of the 7 segments constituting the setting display device 620 (see FIGS. 7 and 13) are lit, and it is displayed that the setting contents have been confirmed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a sets the emission control signal to ON and transmits it to the payout control board 70 (step S42). As a result, the payout control board 70 is controlled so as to start the operation of the launch control board 71.

Next, the main control CPU 600a performs various random number counter update processes (step S44) in a state in which interrupts to itself are set to the disabled state (step S43), and then returns to the interrupt enabled state (step S45). , Return to step S43, and perform a loop process in which the processes of steps S43 to S45 are repeated.

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

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a determines whether or not the set value of the probability of generating a special gaming state favorable to the player stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6) is within the range of "1" to "6". The RAM error flag ER_FLG indicating the above is confirmed (step S56). If the RAM error flag ER_FLG is set to ON (step S56: YES), the main control CPU 600a has a probability of generating a special gaming state stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6), which is advantageous to the player. It is determined that the set value of is out of the range of "1" to "6", the process related to the symbol is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S69. On the other hand, if the RAM error flag ER_FLG is set to OFF (step S56: NO), the main control CPU 600a generates a special gaming state stored in the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 6), which is advantageous to the player. It is determined that the set value of the probability of causing the error is within the range of "1" to "6", and the process proceeds to step S47.

Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms the setting changing flag SH_FLG (step S57).

The process proceeds to step S58.

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a executes the prize ball management process (step S59). This prize ball management process outputs a payout control command PAY_CMD for causing the payout control board 70 (see FIG. 6) to perform a payout operation.

Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not there has been an illegal winning, that is, whether or not the large winning opening (not shown) is open despite the gaming state in which the opening / closing door 46a must be closed. If it is open, it is judged that the prize has been illegally won, and among the edge data of various switches stored in the main control RAM 600c area, the data judged to be the illegal prize is invalidated. Process (step S81).

<Explanation of prize invalidation processing>
In this respect, to be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 20, as shown in FIG. 20, the main control CPU 600a first confirms the value of the normal power open extension state flag FKE_FLG (step S90). If the value of the normal power opening extension state flag FKE_FLG is 05AH (step S90: = 05AH), the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) extends and opens the special symbol 2 starting port 45 (see FIG. 5). The main control CPU 600a determines that the state is in the state, and proceeds to the process of step S97.

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

On the other hand, if the value of the flag FS_FLG during operation of the normal power is not 05AH (step S91: ≠ 05AH), it is determined that the operation of the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) has been completed, and the timer for valid normal power winning is determined. Check the value of FDN_TIMEr (step S92). If the value of the FDN_TIMEr valid timer for winning a prize is not 0 (step S92: ≠ 0), the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) is trying to close the special symbol 2 starting port 45 (see FIG. 5). The main control CPU 600a proceeds to the process of step S97.

On the other hand, if the value of the Fuden winning valid timer FDN_TIMER is 0 (step S92: = 0), the opening / closing member 45b (see FIG. 5) closes the special symbol 2 starting port 45 (see FIG. 5). In step S80 shown in FIG. 19, edge data of the special symbol 2 start port switch 45a stored in the normal RAM area 600ca (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is acquired (step S93). Then, the edge data is confirmed (step S94), and if it is OFF (step S94: NO), it is determined that there is no prize in the special symbol 2 start port 45 and no fraud has been performed, and the main control CPU 600a determines. The process proceeds to step S97.

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

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

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

On the other hand, if the edge data is ON (step S98: YES), the value of the special electric accessory operation flag TDY_FLG is confirmed (step S99). If the value of the special electric accessory operation flag TDY_FLG is 05AH (step S99: = 05AH), the large winning opening (not shown) is in a state of being opened by the opening / closing door 46a (see FIG. 5), which is illegal. Judges that has not been performed, and finishes the prize invalidation process.

On the other hand, if the value of the special electric accessory operation flag TDY_FLG is not 05AH (step S99: ≠ 05AH), the large winning opening (not shown) is closed by the opening / closing door 46a (see FIG. 5). However, since there is a prize, it is determined that fraud is being performed, and the main control CPU 600a performs a process of clearing the edge data of the large winning opening switch 46c and turning it off, and the normal RAM area of the main control RAM 600c. It is stored in 600 ca (see FIG. 16) (step S100).

Next, the main control CPU 600a sets 30s in the fraud information timer FJ_TIMEr (step S101), and finishes the winning invalidation process.

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

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

Specifically, when the game ball wins the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1 (edge data is turned ON), the first winning counter N1_CNT is incremented (+1). Then, when the game ball wins (edge data is ON) in any of the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the left middle general winning opening switch 48c1, and the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1, the second winning counter N2_CNT is set by the number of winnings. Performs the process of incrementing (+1). Further, when the game ball wins the large winning opening switch 46c (edge data is turned ON), the third winning counter N3_CNT is incremented (+1). Further, when the game ball wins (edge data is ON) in any of the special symbol 1 start port switch 44a and the special symbol 2 start port switch 45a, the fourth prize counter N4_CNT is incremented (+1) by the number of winnings. Perform processing.

Thus, the main control CPU 600a finishes the switch input process after performing the above process.

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

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms the number set in the numerical value N, and confirms the value of the winning counter corresponding to the number (step S112). That is, if 1 is set in the numerical value N, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the first winning counter N1_CNT is 0, and if 2 is set in the numerical value N, the value of the second winning counter N2_CNT is set. Check if it is 0, if 3 is set in the numerical value N, check whether the value of the 3rd winning counter N3_CNT is 0, and if 4 is set in the numerical value N, check the 4th. Check whether the value of the winning counter N4_CNT is 0 or not.

Then, if the value of the winning counter is 0 (step S112: = 0), the main control CPU 600a performs a process of incrementing (+1) the numerical value N (step S113) and subtracts the value of the loop counter LOOP_CNT (-1). ) Is performed (step S114). Then, if the value of the loop counter LOOP_CNT becomes 0 (step S115: = 0) by the processing, the prize ball management processing is finished, and if it is not 0 (step S115: ≠ 0), the process returns to step S112, and steps S112 to S112 to The process of step S115 is repeated.

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

Then, after this processing, the main control CPU 600a transmits the payout control command PAY_CMD, which specifies the number of payouts, to the payout control board 70 (see FIG. 6). Specifically, when the value of the first winning counter N1_CNT is subtracted in the process of step S96, the value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, the game ball (for example, 5) corresponding to 1 is paid. The payout control command PAY_CMD specified to be issued is transmitted to the payout control board 70 (see FIG. 6). Then, when the value of the second winning counter N2_CNT is subtracted, the value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, the payout control command PAY_CMD designated to pay out the game balls (for example, 10 pieces) corresponding to 1 is paid out. It is transmitted to the substrate 70 (see FIG. 6). Further, when the value of the third winning counter N3_CNT is subtracted, the value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, the payout control command PAY_CMD specified to pay out the game balls (for example, 15 pieces) corresponding to 1 is paid out. It is transmitted to the control board 70 (see FIG. 6). Furthermore, when the value of the 4th winning counter N4_CNT is subtracted, the value obtained by subtracting the counter value, that is, the payout control command PAY_CMD specified to pay out the game balls (for example, 3 pieces) corresponding to 1 is paid out. It is transmitted to the control board 70 (see FIG. 6) (step S117). As a result, the payout control board 70 controls the payout motor M to pay out the game ball based on the payout control command PAY_CMD.

Thus, the main control CPU 600a finishes the prize ball management process after finishing the above process.

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the condition for confirming the set value of the probability of generating the special gaming state advantageous to the player is satisfied (step S121). That is, the condition that the set value may be confirmed is that the setting change switch 650 (see FIG. 7) is not pressed, or an error other than the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 being opened occurs. It is not occurring, or the fluctuation of the special symbol is stopped (there is no start holding ball, the standby screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 41), or the fluctuation of the normal symbol is stopped (there is no start holding ball). State) and other conditions.

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

If the upper opening / closing door 7 and the lower opening door 8 are open (step S122: YES), the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the dedicated key is inserted into the setting key switch 640 shown in FIG. 7 and is turned on. (Step S123). If the setting key switch 640 is ON (step S123: YES), the main control CPU 600a sets the setting confirmation flag SK_FLG to ON (step S124), and produces a processing command (effect control command DI_CMD) indicating this. It is transmitted to the control board 90 (step S125). Then, the main control CPU 600a sets the firing control signal to OFF, transmits it to the payout control board 70 (step S126), and ends the setting confirmation process. As a result, the payout control board 70 is controlled so as to stop the operation of the launch control board 71.

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

<Explanation of prize ball winning number management process>
Next, the above-mentioned prize ball winning number management process will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 23 to 26. As shown in FIG. 23, the prize ball winning number management process first executes a save process of saving the contents of the register group in the main control CPU 600a to the stack area of the main control RAM 600c (step S150).

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

<Explanation of initial setting of measurement RAM area>
In this respect, to be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 24, in this initial setting, as shown in FIG. 24, first, the value of the initialized flag INI_FLG is acquired (step S160). Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the acquired value of the initialized flag INI_FLG is 5AH (step S161). If it is not 5AH (step S161: NO), 5AH is set in the initialized flag INI_FLG (step S162), the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) is initialized (cleared) (step S163), and the measurement is performed. Finish the initial setting process of the RAM area. On the other hand, if it is 5AH (step S161: YES), it is determined that the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) has already been initialized, and the initial setting process of the measurement RAM area is completed.

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

<Explanation of counting process>
In this respect, to be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 25, as shown in FIG. 25, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the gaming state is in a low probability (a normal low probability state of the winning lottery probability) (step). S170). If the gaming state is not a low probability state (step S170: NO), the process proceeds to step S180.

On the other hand, if the gaming state is in a low probability state (step S170: YES), the main control CPU 600a is stored in the normal RAM area 600ca (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c in step S80 shown in FIG. The edge data of the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1, the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the left middle general winning opening switch 48c1, the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1, and the special symbol 1 starting opening switch 44a are acquired (step S171). Then, these edge data are confirmed (step S172), and if all the edge data are in the OFF state (step S172: NO), the process proceeds to step S174, and if any one of the edge data is in the ON state (step S172). Step S172: YES), the value of the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT is added (step S173). Specifically, if the edge data of the upper right general winning opening switch 48a1 is in the ON state, five prize balls are won, so the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT is added by +5. Then, if the edge data of the upper left general winning opening switch 48b1, the left middle general winning opening switch 48c1, and the lower left general winning opening switch 48d1 are in the ON state, 10 prize balls are awarded for one edge data in the ON state. Therefore, the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT is added by +10 (for the number of edge data in the × ON state). Further, if the edge data of the special symbol 1 start port switch 44a is in the ON state, three prize balls are awarded, so the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT is added by +3 (the number of edge data in the × ON state). The cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT will be stored in the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c.

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

Next, in step S80 shown in FIG. 19, the main control CPU 600a acquires the edge data of the large winning opening switch 46c stored in the normal RAM area 600ca (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c (step S177). ). If this edge data is in the OFF state (step S178: NO), the process proceeds to step S180, and if this edge data is in the ON state (step S178: YES), the value of the second accessory cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT. Is added (step S179). Specifically, if the edge data of the large winning opening switch 46c is in the ON state, 15 prize balls are awarded, so the second prize cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT is added by +15. The second accessory cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT is stored in the measurement RAM area 600 cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600 c.

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

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

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

<Explanation of display processing>
In this respect, to be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 26, the main control CPU 600a first confirms whether or not the initialized flag SS_FLG is set to ON (step S200). If the initial setting flag SS_FLG is not set to ON (step S200: NO), the cumulative outcounter RO_CNT stored in the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is acquired, and a predetermined number (step S200: NO) is acquired. For example, it is confirmed whether or not the number has reached 300 (step S201). If the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has not reached a predetermined number (for example, 300) (step S201: NO), the main control CPU 600a displays real-time measurement display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). It is created and stored in the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c (step S202). Further, the main control CPU 600a creates the previous measurement result display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9), and stores the data in the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c. (Step S203).

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

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

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

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

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

After the processing of step S206, step S208, and step S209, the main control CPU 600a finishes the display processing.

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

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

On the other hand, if the low probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 6000) (step S211: YES), the main control CPU 600a has a measurement RAM area 600 cc of the main control RAM 600c (FIG. 16), the cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT, the first character cumulative prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, the second character cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT, and the low probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT are acquired, and the cumulative prize ball counter. Low accuracy by adding the values of RS_CNT, the first accessory cumulative prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, and the second accessory cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT, and dividing the added value by the value of the low probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT. Based on the cumulative out counter TRO_CNT, the ratio of how many prize balls were won at the time of low accuracy will be calculated. Then, the main control CPU 600a creates real-time measurement display data to be displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) based on the calculated ratio, and the measurement RAM area 600cc of the main control RAM 600c (see FIG. 16). ) (Step S213). As a result, the identification information "bL" is lit and displayed in the 7 segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the calculated ratio information is lit and displayed in the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9).

Next, the main control CPU 600a acquires the cumulative out counter RO_CNT stored in the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c, and confirms whether or not the predetermined number (for example, 60,000) has been reached. (Step S214). If the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has not reached a predetermined number (for example, 60,000) (step S214: NO), the main control CPU 600a confirms the measurement number flag KK_FLG indicating the measurement number (step S215). If the measurement count flag KK_FLG is 1 or more (step S215: YES), the measurement data stored in the measurement RAM area 600cc (see FIG. 16) of the main control RAM 600c is acquired, and the previous measurement result display data (cumulative). When the number of outcounters RO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 60,000), the ratio of how many prize balls were won at the time of low probability based on the low probability cumulative outcounter TRO_CNT) is created and used for measurement of the main control RAM 600c. It is stored in the RAM area 600 cc (see FIG. 16) (step S216). As a result, the identification information "b6" is lit and displayed in the 7 segments of the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Then, the ratio information, which is the previous measurement result, is lit and displayed on the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9).

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

On the other hand, if the cumulative out counter RO_CNT has reached a predetermined number (for example, 60,000) (step S214: YES), the main control CPU 600a increments (+1) the measurement count flag KK_FLG (step S218), and the cumulative out counter The values of RO_CNT, low probability cumulative out counter TRO_CNT, cumulative prize ball counter RS_CNT, first character cumulative prize ball counter YRS1_CNT, and second character cumulative prize ball counter YRS2_CNT are cleared (step S219).

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

Next, the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the display counter HY_CNT has reached a value corresponding to 5 seconds (first predetermined value) (step S221), and if it has not reached the first predetermined value (step S221: 1). NO), the real-time measurement display data created in step S212 or step S213 is output to the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) (step S206). As a result, until the low-accuracy cumulative out counter TRO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 6000), the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) The identification information "bL" is blinking and displayed in the 7 segments of the 610C (see FIG. 9), and the calculation is performed in the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The ratio information will be lit and displayed. Then, when the low-accuracy cumulative out counter TRO_CNT reaches a predetermined number (for example, 6000), the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIGS. 7 and 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) The identification information "bL" is lit and displayed in the 7 segments of FIG. 9), and the calculated ratio information is displayed in the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). Will be lit and displayed.

On the other hand, if the first predetermined value is reached (step S221: YES), the main control CPU 600a confirms whether or not the display counter HY_CNT has reached the value corresponding to 10 seconds (second predetermined value) (step). S223), if the second predetermined value is not reached (step S223: NO), the previous measurement result display data created in step S216 or step S217 is displayed on the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9). Is output to (step S224). As a result, until the total number of cumulative outs for the first time reaches 60,000, the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (see FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) The identification information "b6" is blinking and displayed in the 7-segments of the above, and the ratio information "---" is lit in the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). It will be displayed. Then, when the total number of cumulative outs for the first time reaches 60,000, after that, the fourth measurement display device 610D and the third measurement display device 610C (FIG. 9) of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) are used. The identification information "b6" is lit and displayed in the 7 segments of (see), and the previous measurement results are shown in the 7 segments of the second measurement display device 610B and the first measurement display device 610A (see FIG. 9). The ratio information will be lit and displayed. The blinking display has a 0.6-second cycle of turning on for 0.3 seconds and turning off for 0.3 seconds.

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

Thus, in this way, the display content of the measurement display device 610 (see FIGS. 7 and 9) can be switched to the real-time measurement display data and the previous measurement result display data every 5 seconds. The main control CPU 600a finishes the display process after finishing the processes of step S222, step S224, and step S225.
