It is fixed to the plate 11. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 penetrates the side frame bodies 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state where the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the upper end inner side surface of the side frame bodies 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18, so that the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected to each other. The vertical piece 18 on the rear side of the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 is fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13 in a state of being inserted into the protruding portions 16 of the side frame plates 12 and 13. It has become like. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the lower frame plate 11 penetrates the side frame bodies 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state where the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the lower end inner side surface of the side frame bodies 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18, so that the lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected, and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are connected by the four connecting members 14. , And the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be assembled in a frame shape.

The outer frame 2 of this example is arranged so as to face the upper support metal fitting 20 fixed to the upper surface of the left end of the upper frame plate 10 and the upper support metal fitting 20, and is fixed at a predetermined position inside the lower part of the left side frame plate 12. The lower support metal fitting 21 to be formed, the reinforcing metal fitting 22 arranged to support the lower surface of the lower support metal fitting 21 and fixed so as to connect the left and right side frame plates 12, 13 and fixed to the front surface of the reinforcing metal fitting 22. It is provided with a decorative cover 23. The upper support metal fitting 20 and the lower support metal fitting 21 are for pivotally supporting the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 so as to be openable and closable.

First, the upper support metal fitting 20 includes a plate-shaped fixing piece 20a fixed to the upper frame plate 10, a support projecting piece 20b protruding forward from the front end of the fixing piece 20a to the front end of the upper frame plate 10, and a support protrusion. A support hook hole 20c formed by being cut out so as to bend from the right end near the front end of the piece 20b toward the center of the tip, and a side frame on the left side that hangs downward from the left end of the fixing piece 20 and the support projecting piece 20b. A plate-shaped hanging fixing piece 20d (see FIG. 14A) that abuts on the outer side surface of the plate 12, and a hanging wall 20e that hangs along the outer edge of the supporting protruding piece 20b that is continuous with the hanging fixing piece 20d (FIG. 14 (A)). 14) and a stop hanging portion 20f (see FIG. 15) that is continuous with the hanging wall 20e and is inclined inward at the inlet end of the support hook hole 20c. The shaft support pin 633 (see FIG. 63) of the upper shaft support metal fitting 630 in the main body frame 3 described later is detachably engaged with the support hook hole 20c in the upper support metal fitting 20. Further, the upper support metal fitting 20 is adapted so that the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 can be connected by the fixing piece 20a and the hanging fixing piece 20d.

In the upper support metal fitting 20, the strength of the support protrusion 20b is increased by the hanging wall 20e hanging from the outer edge of the support protrusion 20b, and the details will be described later, but when viewed from the front, the support protrusion 20b The lock member 27 arranged on the back surface of the above can be concealed so that it cannot be seen from the player side, and the appearance of the lock member 27 can be improved. Further, the support hook hole 20c formed in the support projecting piece 20b is bent in a dogleg shape so as to be inclined from the side on the opposite side (right side) where the hanging wall 20e is not formed toward the center of the tip. In addition, the width dimension of the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft support pin 633.

On the other hand, the lower support metal fitting 21 is a horizontal fixing piece 21a that is placed and fixed on the reinforcing metal fitting 22, and a vertical fixing piece that rises upward from the left end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a and is fixed to the inner side surface of the left side frame plate 12. 21b, a plate-shaped support projecting piece 21c projecting forward from the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 from the front end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a, and a pin-shaped projecting upward from the vicinity of the front end of the support projecting piece 21c. The support protrusion 21d of the above is provided. The main body frame shaft support formed on the main body frame shaft support metal fitting 644 (see FIG. 66 and the like) of the main body frame 3 to be described later is inserted into the support protrusion 21d of the lower support metal fitting 21. After inserting the support protrusion 21d of the support metal fitting 21 into the support hole of the main body frame shaft support metal fitting 644 in the main body frame 3, the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support metal fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 is locked in the support hook hole 20c. As a result, the main body frame 3 can be easily opened and closed.

Further, as shown in the figure, the outer frame 2 of this example has two closing plates 24 and 25 mounted and fixed inside the right side frame plate 13 so as to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance in the vertical direction. These closing plates 24 and 25 are formed in a substantially L shape in a plan view, and the closing plate 25 arranged on the lower side has a rectangular opening 25a penetrating in the front-rear direction (FIG. 9). The closing plates 24, 25 and the hook portion 1054, 1065 (see FIG. 93) of the locking device 1000, which is attached along the open side of the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. The hook portion 1054, 1065 and the closing plates 24, 25 are disengaged by inserting the key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the locking device 1000 and rotating it in one direction, which will be described in detail later. The main body frame 3 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 2.

Further, the outer frame 2 of this example further includes a guide plate 26 fixed to the upper surface of the right end of the reinforcing metal fitting 22. The guide plate 26 is for smoothly guiding the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and is replaceably mounted and fixed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, the outer frame 2 of this example further includes a lock member 27 supported on the back surface of the support projecting piece 20b of the upper support metal fitting 20, and is attached to the support projecting piece 20b by the rivet 28. On the other hand, it is rotatably supported. The lock member 27 is made of synthetic resin and is shorter than the stopper portion 27a that protrudes forward from the position pivotally supported by the rivet 28 and the stopper portion 27a to the right from the position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28. The operating portion 27b that protrudes, the elastic piece 27c that protrudes from the side opposite to the position pivotally supported by the rivet 28 with respect to the operating portion 27b, and the tip of the stopper portion 27a are formed so as to bulge forward. It is provided with an arc-shaped tip surface 27d. As shown in the figure, the lock member 27 is formed in a substantially L shape by the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b. Further, the elastic portion 27c of the lock member 27 is formed to have a width narrower than that of the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b, and is formed so as to extend forward as the distance from the stopper portion 27a increases to the left.

As shown in FIGS. 14B and 15, when the lock member 27 is supported by the support protruding piece 20b of the upper support metal fitting 20 (normal state), the tip contact portion of the elastic piece 27c is a hanging wall. It is in contact with the inner surface of the 20e, and the stopper portion 27a closes the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c, and the tip portion of the stopper portion 27a is the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c. The head space portion of the above is not closed, and a space is formed in the head space portion of the support hook hole 20c into which the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support metal fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 can be inserted. ..

In the support mechanism of the shaft support pin 633 using the upper support metal fitting 20 and the lock member 27 of this example, the shaft support pin 633 is inserted into the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c, and the stopper portion 27a A state in which the tip side faces the stop hanging portion 20f at the entrance end (in this state, there is a slight gap between the tip side side of the stopper portion 27a and the stop hanging portion 20f, and they are in contact with each other. In the normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 located in the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c formed by bending and the tip surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a, respectively. The centers are offset in the diagonal direction and face each other. Then, in this normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 that supports the heavy main body frame 3 is in contact with the tip end portion of the support hook hole 20c, so that the shaft support pin 633 Since the load on the tip surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is hardly applied, the load is not applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27. Since the tip of the stopper portion 27a is provided with an arcuate tip surface 27d, the lock member 27 rotates smoothly when the operation portion 27b is rotated to rotate the lock member 27. It has become. Further, in the figure, the arc center of the tip surface 27d is the center of the rivet 28 (the center of rotation of the lock member 27).

Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the shaft support pin 633 comes out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c and comes into contact with the arcuate tip surface 27d, the acting force F is applied to the shaft support. The component force F1 (in the normal direction of the arc of the tip surface 27d) acting on the contact portion between the pin 633 and the arc-shaped tip surface 27d, and one side of the inclined hole portion of the shaft support pin 633 and the support hook hole 20c. When the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface is divided, the direction of the component force F1 faces the center of the rivet 28 (the center of rotation of the lock member 27), so that the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 The moment to rotate the tip in the direction away from the support protrusion 20b (clockwise in the figure) does not work, and the shaft support pin 633 is attached to the tip of the stopper 27a of the lock member 27 and the inclined hole of the support hook hole 20c. Holds the state of being sandwiched between the inner surface on one side. Therefore, even in the normal shaft support state or in the state where the acting force of the shaft support pin 633 is applied to the lock member 27, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not constantly loaded, and the elasticity is integrally formed of the synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the piece 27c, and prevent the shaft support pin 633 from falling out of the support hook hole 20c for a long period of time. Even if an unreasonable force is applied and the tip of the stopper 27a of the lock member 27 is rotated in a direction away from the support protrusion 20b (clockwise in the figure), one side of the tip of the stopper 27a Does not rotate in the direction of contacting the stop hanging portion 20f and further disengaging, so that the lock member 27 does not protrude to the outside of the support projecting piece 20b.

Even if the shape of the tip surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is not arcuate, the tip portion of the lock member 27 is directed to the outside of the projecting piece 20b at a position where a rotational moment is not generated by the action of the component force F1 described above. By locating the rotation center of the lock member 27 (the shaft fixed by the rivet 28) at a position where a rotational moment is generated, no load is always applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27, and the lock member 27 is locked. The applicant applies that the lock member 27 does not protrude to the outside of the support projecting piece 20b because the one side of the tip of the stopper portion 27a only abuts on the stop hanging portion 20f even if the member 27 rotates. I'm checking.

The operation of the lock member 27 of this example will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As a premise that the main body frame 3 is pivotally supported on the outer frame 2 so as to be openable and closable, a lower support metal fitting is formed in a main body frame shaft support hole (not shown) formed in the main body frame shaft support metal fitting 644 (see FIG. It is necessary that the support protrusion 21d of 21 is inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, by pushing the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support metal fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 into contact with the side surface of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27, FIG. As shown in 16 (B), since the lock member 27 rotates the elastic piece 27c counterclockwise while deforming it, the shaft support pin 633 can be inserted into the support hook hole 20c. Then, when the shaft support pin 633 reaches the head space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hook hole 20c, as shown in FIG. 16C, the shaft support pin 633 and the tip side surface of the stopper portion 27a do not come into contact with each other. Therefore, the lock member 27 is urged by the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c to rotate clockwise, and the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 returns to the normal state again to close the inlet portion of the support hook hole 20c at the same time. The tip portion of the stopper portion 27a faces the shaft support pin 633 so that the shaft support pin 633 does not fall out of the support hook hole 20c.

Then, as shown in FIG. 16D, this state is maintained even when the main body frame 3 is completely closed or during the normal opening / closing operation of the main body frame 3. Next, in order to remove the shaft support pin 633 from the support hook hole 20c, as shown in FIG. 16E, a finger is inserted into the back surface of the support protrusion piece 20b, and the operation portion 27b of the lock member 27 is turned counterclockwise. By rotating, the lock member 27 rotates against the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c, and the tip portion of the stopper portion 27a is in a state of being retracted from the support hook hole 20c. Therefore, the shaft support pin 633 is supported by the support hook. It can be taken out from the hole 20c. After that, the main body frame 3 is lifted to disengage the main body frame shaft support hole formed in the main body frame shaft support metal fitting 644 from the support protrusion 21d of the lower support metal fitting 21, so that the main body frame 3 is attached to the outer frame 2 It can be removed from.

As described above, in the outer frame 2 of this example, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 constituting the outer shell of the outer frame 2 are made of wood as in the conventional case, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of lightweight metal ( For example, since it is an extruded material of aluminum alloy), when installing the pachinko machine 1 in the island equipment lined up in the amusement park, it is necessary to perform the work of fixing it at a predetermined angle to the vertical surface of the island. However, since such work is performed by driving nails to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, it is possible to easily drive the nails, and the pachinko machine 1 can be installed on the existing island equipment without any problem. It can be installed. Further, since the side frame plates 12 and 13 are extruded materials of lightweight metal (for example, aluminum alloy), it is possible to form a thin wall thickness while maintaining the strength as compared with the conventional wooden outer frame. The left and right width when viewed from the front of the peripheral wall portion 605 (see FIG. 63 and the like) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the inside of the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be widened, and the game board 4 having a large size in the left and right direction. Can be mounted on the main body frame 3, and at the same time, the game area 1100 of the game board 4 can be formed large.

Further, the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 constituting the outer shell of the outer frame 2 are connected by the connecting member 14, and the connecting member 14 is the side frame plate 12 and 13. Since it is fixed in close contact with the inner surface and is fixed in a state where the connecting member 14, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are engaged with each other, the assembling strength of the outer frame 2 can be increased and it is sturdy. It can be used as a rectangular framework. Further, after connecting the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 by the connecting member 14, when the upper support metal fitting 20 is attached to a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. Since there is no member protruding outward from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the frame plates 10, 11, 12, and 13, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility in a game hall (not shown), an adjacent device (for example, It can be installed in close contact with the adjacent ball lending machine).

It is possible to assist the rotation, prevent it from rotating intentionally, and give a click feeling to the rotation. Further, the operation unit 400 can vibrate the dial operation unit 401 by repeatedly rotating the dial drive motor 414 in the forward and reverse directions in small steps.

Further, in the operation unit 400 of this example, as shown in FIG. 50, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed downward, the step portion 407a of the button cap 407 comes into contact with the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401, and the button cap Since the 407 (pressing operation unit 405) can no longer be immersed in the inner cylinder portion 401e, the load applied to the pressing operation unit 405 is dialed via the step portion 407a and the protruding portion 401f. It can be dispersed to the operation unit 401 side, and the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400) is not easily broken.

Further, in the operation unit 400 of this example, the dial drive motor 414 is moved in small steps in a state where the step portion 407a of the button cap 407 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401 are in contact with each other by pressing the pressing operation unit 405. By repeating the rolling and reversing, the pressing operation unit 405 can be vibrated together with the dial operating unit 401, and the vibration of the pressing operation unit 405 can surprise the player and entertain the game and the production. It has become.

According to the operation unit 400 of this example, the dial operation unit 401 that the player can rotate and the pressing operation unit 405 that can be pressed are supported by the metal base member 420, and the operation unit 400 Since the strength can be increased, it is possible to prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged even if the player or the like strongly hits the operation units 401 and 405, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be freely used by the player. In addition to being able to operate, the operability of the operation units 401 and 405 can be improved, and the production using the operation units 401 and 405 can be enjoyed and the player's interest in the game can be suppressed from being lowered. it can.

Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is arranged at the center of the annular dial operation unit 401, and if the pressing operation unit 405 is strongly hit, the dial operation unit 401 is also likely to be hit, and the operation unit The force of hitting 401 and 405 can be distributed to the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405, suppressing the concentration of the hitting impact and preventing the operation unit 400 and the dish unit 300 from being damaged. Therefore, it is possible to make the operation units 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 able to withstand a bang, and the player can freely operate the operation units 401 and 405, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be freely operated. The operability of the 405 can be improved, and the production using the operation units 401 and 405 can be enjoyed, and it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game.

As described above, when the cover body 426 attached to the base member 420 is fixed to the upper surface of the dish unit 300 and the operation units 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 are hit to give an impact or a load is applied. Until the lower end of the operation unit 400 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c, the impact and load can be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the cover body 426, and the lower end of the operation unit 400 is with the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. After the contact, the bottom portion (dish unit 300) of the operation unit mounting portion 314c can receive an impact or a load, so that the impact or the like from the operation units 401 or 405 is dispersed to prevent the impact or the like from concentrating. It is possible to improve the impact resistance and load resistance of the operation unit 400 and the dish unit 300.

Further, the base member 420 is provided with a plurality of leg portions 420e projecting downward from the positions supporting the operation units 401 and 405, and the leg portions 420e of the base member 420 are the operation unit in the dish unit 300. Even if the base member 420 receives an impact from the operating portions 401 and 405 in contact with the bottom surface of the mounting portion 314c, the leg portions 420e are not arranged directly under the impact, so that the operating portions 401 and 405 of the base member 420 The portion supporting the above is bent by the impact, and the base member 420 is bent (elastically deformed) so that the impact from the operating units 401 and 405 can be absorbed to some extent, and the base member 420 is applied to the dish unit 300. The impact can be reduced to prevent the dish unit 300 from being damaged.

Further, the dial operation unit 401 is held by the operation unit holding member 416 attached to the base member 420 from below so that a part of the dial operation unit 401 overlaps with the base member 420 in a plan view. When the operation unit 401 is struck from above, even if the operation unit holding member 416 holding the dial operation unit 401 deviates from the base member 420 and moves downward, the dial operation unit 401 comes into contact with the upper surface of the base member 420. The base member 420 can restrict the downward movement of the dial operation unit 401, and can satisfactorily prevent the dial operation unit 401 from falling.

Further, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 via the driven gear 410 and the drive gear 412, and the position of the rotation shaft of the dial drive motor 414 is probably set to the dial operation unit 401 (driven gear). Since the position can be eccentric with respect to the position of the rotation shaft of 410), even if the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 is strongly hit, the impact is transmitted through the rotation shaft of the dial operation unit 401. It is possible to prevent the dial drive motor 414 from being directly affected, and it is possible to prevent the dial drive motor 414 (operation unit 400) from being damaged.

Further, since the opening 420a of the base member 420 is made smaller than the dial operation unit 401 and the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the gear rail 416a of the operation unit holding member 416 through the opening 420a, the dial operation unit 401 is supported. Even if the gear rail 416a (operation unit holding member 416) moves downward due to an impact or load from 401, the dial operation unit 401 can come into contact with the upper surface of the opening 420a of the base member 420, and the dial operation unit 401 is the base member. It is possible to surely prevent the depression from being lower than 420. Further, since the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the annular gear rail 416a, the contact area between the dial operation unit 401 and the operation unit holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) can be increased, and the dial operation unit 401 can be increased. It is possible to prevent the operation unit holding member 416 from being damaged by dispersing the impact and the load from the above.

Further, since the dial drive motor 414 that rotationally drives the dial operation unit 401 is attached to the metal base member 420, the dial operation unit 401 is frequently rotationally driven by the dial drive motor 414, or the dial drive motor 414. Even if the amount of heat generated is increased due to an excessive load on the dial drive motor 414 due to the player forcibly stopping the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 even though the dial drive motor 414 is rotationally driven by the motor. The heat generated from the dial drive motor 414 can be satisfactorily dissipated and dissipated through the base member 420, and it is possible to prevent the dial drive means 414 from malfunctioning due to overheating, and the dial drive means 414 can be used. With the pachinko machine 1 that can withstand a high load, can fully embody the effect of the dial operation unit 401 using the dial drive means 414 as described above, and entertain the player. can do.

Further, the dial decoration board 430 and the button decoration board 432 for illuminating the operation units 401 and 405 are provided, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be luminescently decorated. Therefore, the operation units 401 and 405 emit light. By doing so, the interest of the player can be attracted to the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can easily operate the operation units 401 and 405.

Further, when the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is pressed, the step portion 407a of the pressing operation unit 405 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401 come into contact with each other, so that the player can press the pressing operation unit 405. Is pressed, the dial drive motor 414 repeatedly rotates forward and reverse within a predetermined angle range to vibrate the dial operation unit 401, thereby vibrating the dial operation unit 401 via the step portion 407a in contact with the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401. The pressing operation unit 405 can also be vibrated. Therefore, even if a vibrator or the like for vibrating the pressing operation unit 405 is not separately provided, the player can be given an operation feeling for the pressing operation 405, so that the effect using the operation unit 400 can be enjoyed. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game. In addition, since the pressing operation unit 405 vibrates when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the pressing operation unit 405, which was thought not to move without permission, can greatly surprise the player, which is good. It is possible to make people think that there may be something, and it is possible to raise expectations for the game and suppress the decline in interest. Therefore, unlike the conventional operation unit, the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can move freely to attract the player's attention to the operation unit 400, and the player can participate in the production using the operation unit 400. In addition to making it easier, the operation unit 400 can be positively operated by the player, and the operation of the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is enjoyed, and the interest in the game is reduced. Can be suppressed.

Further, since the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operating unit 401 are brought into contact with each other when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the force from the pressing operation unit 405 can be transmitted to the dial operation unit 401 side. Even if the pressing operation unit 405 is struck hard, the load and impact applied to the pressing operation unit 405 can be dispersed to the dial operation unit 401 side as well, and the load resistance and impact resistance to the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed. Can be enhanced. Therefore, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is struck hard, it is possible to prevent the pressing operation unit 405 from being damaged, so that the game is prevented from being interrupted due to the damage of the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400). It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being lowered due to the interruption of the game.

Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is rotatably supported only within a predetermined angle range with respect to the circumference of the axial center extending in the vertical direction, and when the player presses the pressing operation unit 405, the dial is driven. Even if the dial operation unit 401 is rotationally driven by the motor 414, it is possible to prevent the pressing operation unit 405 from trying to rotate together with the dial operation unit 401, so that the player can operate the dial in the operation unit 400. The roles of the unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be reliably recognized, and the player can easily enjoy the effect using the operation unit 400, and the guide to the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 405. The word "PUSH" does not rotate or tilt significantly, making it easier for the player to read, and making the player surely recognize that the pressing operation unit 405 is the pressing operation. be able to.

Further, the dial operation unit 401 is provided with a projecting portion 401f protruding from the inner circumference of the inner cylinder portion 401a toward the axial center, and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation unit 405 has a diameter smaller than a predetermined position in the vertical direction. Since the step portion 407a formed by the above is provided, the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 401a of the dial operation portion 401 and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 can be brought as close as possible to each other at the upper end of the operation unit 400. The gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be made as small as possible to improve the appearance, and the inside of the operation unit 400 can be improved through the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405. It is possible to make it difficult for foreign matter such as dust and dirt to enter, and prevent the occurrence of problems such as the dial operation unit 401 becoming difficult to rotate or the pressing operation unit 405 becoming difficult to press due to the intrusion of foreign matter. be able to.

Further, the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operating unit 401 in the operating unit 400 is formed in an annular shape, and when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, which of the dial operating unit 401 is in the circumferential direction. Since the contact can be made even at the position, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed (pressing a position deviated to the outer circumference from the center of the pressing operation unit 405), it is surely brought into contact with the dial operation unit 401. It is possible to reliably transmit the rotational drive from the dial drive motor 414 to the pressing operation unit 405 via the dial operation unit 401. Further, since the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 are in circular contact with each other, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be widely distributed to the dial operation unit 401 side, and the load resistance to the pressing operation unit 405 can be improved. Impact resistance can be further improved.

Further, since the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is inclined so as to be lowered toward the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401, it may not be inclined. In comparison, the contact area can be relatively increased, and the driving force from the dial drive motor 414 can be easily transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 side via the dial operation unit 401. Further, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be radially dispersed in the outward direction in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the rotation axis, preventing the load from concentrating, and the resistance of the operation unit 400. The load resistance and impact resistance can be surely improved, and the durability of the operation unit 400 can be improved, and the occurrence of defects during the game can be reduced as much as possible, which reduces the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

Further, since the dial drive motor 414 of the operation unit 400 is a stepping motor capable of forward rotation and reverse rotation, the dial operation unit 401 is not only simply rotated, but can be easily stopped at a predetermined position, and forward rotation and reverse rotation can be performed. It can be easily vibrated by repetition, and the operation unit 400 (pachinko machine 1) that exerts the above-mentioned effects can be surely embodied.

Further, since the operation unit 400 is supported by the plate unit 300 provided with the upper plate 301 for storing the game balls, the strength and rigidity of the plate unit 300 is high in order to store a large number of game balls. Therefore, it is possible to sufficiently cope with a bang on the operation unit 400 (pressing operation unit 405), and it is possible to easily enjoy the effect using the operation unit 400.

A single-shot button 520 that is rotatably supported to operate the launch stop switch 518, one end is attached to the handle base 502 and the other end is attached to the handle body 504, and the handle body 504 is placed in the initial rotation position (counterclockwise when viewed from the front). It is provided with a handle return spring 522 for urging to return to the rotating end in the direction of

As shown in the figure, the handle base 502 of the handle device 500 of this example has a form having a rear end portion that is cylindrically extended rearward from a front end portion that is open on the front side and bulges rearward. Three groove portions 502a extending in the axial direction are formed on the outer circumference of the cylindrical shape of the above. The three grooves 502a of the handle base 502 are one on the upper side, two on the lower side, and unequally spaced in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the three ridges 143 in the tubular portion 141 of the handle bracket 140. Have been placed. The handle base 502 is supported in a non-rotatable state by being inserted into the tubular portion 141 of the handle bracket 140 so that the groove portion 502a fits with the ridge 143.

In the handle device 500, the handle body 504 is formed with arc-shaped slits 504a arranged concentrically with the rotation axis thereof, and the front end cover 506 is formed with three mounting bosses 506a projecting rearward. These mounting bosses 506a are fixed to the front surface of the handle base 502 through the slit 504a of the handle body 504. As a result, the circumferential end of the slit 504a in the handle body 504 comes into contact with the mounting boss 506a of the front end cover 506, so that the rotation range of the handle body 504 is restricted.

Further, in the handle device 500, a locking protrusion 504b projecting rearward is formed on the handle main body 504, and the other end side (front end side) of the coiled handle return spring 522 is formed on the locking protrusion 504b. By being locked, the handle body 504 is urged to rotate counterclockwise in the front view by the handle return spring 522 attached to the handle base 502 on one end side.

The handle device 500 of this example is adapted to be attached to the handle attachment portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 via the handle bracket 140. Since the mounting surface of the handle mounting portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 is inclined so as to face the outside (open side) in a plan view viewed from above, the handle mounted via the handle bracket 140 The device 500 is also tilted outward in a plan view (in other words, its tip is tilted toward the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line orthogonal to the front vertical plane of the pachinko machine 1) to form a door frame. It is designed to be mounted and fixed to 5. As a result, the player can easily grip the handle device 500, and the rotation operation can be easily performed without any discomfort in the rotation operation.

Further, in the handle device 500, the rotation position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor, and when the handle body 504 (handle device 500) is rotated, the rotation position detection sensor 512 is transmitted via the shaft member 510 and the transmission gear 511. The detection shaft portion 512a will rotate. Then, the internal resistance of the rotation position detection sensor 512 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft portion 512a, and the driving force of the launch solenoid 654 in the ball launching device 650 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the rotation position detection sensor 512. Then, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500.

The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle body 504 and the front end cover 508 are electrically plated, and the touch sensor 516 detects the contact when the player comes into contact with the handle body 504 or the like. Then, when the handle body 504 rotates while the touch sensor 516 detects the contact of the player, the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled by the strength corresponding to the rotation, and the game ball is driven. Can be done. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball by rotating the handle device 500 in some way without touching the handle device 500, the firing solenoid 654 is not driven and the game ball cannot be driven. It is possible to prevent the player from playing a game different from the original one and reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, when the player presses the single-shot button 520 while rotating the handle device 500, the firing stop switch 518 detects the operation of the single-shot button 520, and the firing control unit 4120 (see FIG. 161) controls the firing solenoid 654. The rotary drive can be stopped. As a result, the firing of the game ball can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle device 500, and by releasing the pressing operation of the single-shot button 520, before the single-shot button 520 is operated. It is possible to launch a game ball with the driving strength.

In the handle device 500 of this example, the rotation operation of the handle body 504 is electrically detected by the rotation position detection sensor 512, and then the launch control unit 4120 detects the rotation position from the rotation position detection sensor 512. Since the rotational drive strength of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled, the handle device 500 provided in the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launching device 650 provided in the main body frame 3 are doord like a conventional pachinko machine. It is not necessary to provide a mechanical (for example, a joint unit) mechanism so that the frames 5 are linked to each other when the frame 5 is closed and the links are released when the door frame 5 is opened, so that the configuration of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. At the same time, it is possible to eliminate the occurrence of defects in the joint unit, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest due to the malfunction of the gaming ball.

The rotation of the operating rod 583c protruding forward is restricted by contacting the upper end of the contact piece 343a of the upper plate ball removing slider 343 in the upper plate ball removing mechanism 340 of the plate unit 300. In the normal state, the partition portion 583a of the ball pulling member 583 partitions between the entrance 581a and the ball pulling port 581b so that the game ball does not enter the ball pulling port 581b side. Then, when the player presses the upper plate ball removal button 341 of the upper plate ball removal mechanism 340 in the plate unit 300 downward, the upper plate ball removal slider 343 slides downward together with the abutting piece 343a to abut. As the piece 343a moves downward, the working paddle 583c also moves relatively downward.

In this way, when the operating rod 583c moves downward together with the contact piece 343a of the upper plate ball removing mechanism 340, the ball removing member 583 rotates in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front, and the entrance by the partition portion 583a. The partition between the ball outlet 381a and the ball outlet 381b is released, and the game ball that has entered from the entrance 381a is discharged from the ball outlet 381b to the ball extraction flow path 344c of the upper plate ball extraction base 344 of the plate unit 300. , It is designed to be discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 302.

Since the contact piece 343a of the upper plate ball pulling slider 343 with which the operating paddle 583c of the ball pulling member 583 contacts is urged upward by the coil spring, the game ball is vigorously supplied onto the partition portion 581a. However, the impact can be absorbed by the coil spring that urges the upper plate ball pulling slider 343 via the operating paddle 583c, and it is possible to prevent the ball pulling member 583 and the like from being damaged, and the game ball It is possible to prevent the partition portion 583a from bouncing back.

Further, the ball feed unit 580 of this example is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 582b (see FIG. 56B, etc.) recessed forward in the upper right corner when viewed from the rear of the ball hitting supply port 582a in the rear cover 582. At the same time, the fraud prevention member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b. The fraud prevention member 588 of the ball feed unit 580 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 582a of the rear cover 582 from the rear side. As shown in FIG. 55 and the like, the fraud prevention member 588 has an overall outer diameter formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape in the rear view, and is located on the left side in the rear view from substantially the center in the vertical direction to the opposite side. The upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c, and the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c are vertically divided with the dividing line 588a extending by a predetermined length toward the base end side (right side side) of the above. A V formed between the upper piece 588b and the lower piece 588c by bending the base end side of the upper piece 588b in the direction perpendicular to the general surface of the fraud prevention member 588 (rearward) so as to move away from each other. It includes a character-shaped cutting portion 588d, and an inclined portion 588e formed at the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c and inclined toward the cutting portion 588d.

As shown in the figure, the fraud prevention member 588 has a cut portion 588d by bending the base end side of the upper piece portion 588b so that the tip end (left end side in rear view) of the upper piece portion 588b moves rearward. It is formed in a V shape in a plan view, and the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is inserted into the V shape. The cut portion 588d of the fraud prevention member 588 has a state in which the lower side of the upper piece portion 588b and the upper side of the lower piece portion 588c intersect at a predetermined angle in a plan view, and the gap becomes narrower toward the base end side. It is formed like this.

Further, the inclined portion 588e of the fraud prevention member 588 is formed at the tip of the cutting portion 588d, and the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I can be guided and guided into the cutting portion 588d by the inclined portion 588e. It has become like. In the ball feed unit 580 of this example, the fraud prevention member 588 is mounted from the rear side in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 as shown in the figure, and the cutting portion 588d in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582. The portion corresponding to the portion where the ball is formed penetrates in the front-rear direction, and at the same time, is formed in a form of communicating with the hit ball supply port 582a. In other words, the rear cover 582 is formed in a shape in which the hit ball supply port 582a extends into the mounting recess 582b.

According to the fraud prevention member 588, the fraudulent game ball I to which the wire rod Iw is attached is supplied from the ball feed unit 580 to the hitting ball launching device 650, and the fraudulent game ball I is supplied to the game board 4 by the hitting ball launching device 650. When the ball is driven into the 1100, the illegal game ball I launched by the ball launcher 650 moves diagonally to the upper left along the launch rail 660 in front view, and moves between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112. Attempts to enter the game area 1100 through. At this time, the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is pulled by the momentum of the hit game ball I, and the wire rod Iw is different from the movement trajectory of the illegal game ball I, and the passage of the game ball. It will move along the route connecting the shortest distance within. Therefore, the wire rod Iw extending from the plate unit 300 to the hitting ball launching device 650 side through the hitting ball supply port 582a of the ball feeding unit 580 causes the game ball I to move in the upper left direction (upper right direction in the rear view). Then, in order to move on the shortest route, the ball is pulled toward the upper right corner of the back view of the ball supply port 582a, and moves into the mounting recess 582b formed in the upper right corner of the back view of the ball supply port 582a. Then, the wire rod Iw that has moved to the portion (inside the mounting recess 582b) extending to the right in the rear view of the hit ball supply port 582a is cut by the pair of inclined portions 588e of the fraud prevention member 588 arranged at the position. After being guided into 588d, it is further pulled to the right in the rear view by the momentum of the illegal game ball I.

As a result, the wire rod Iw attached to the fraudulent game ball I is pulled by the force of the fraudulent game ball I in the direction in which the gap is narrowed (to the left in front view) at the cutting portion 588d of the fraud prevention member 588. The wire rod Iw is cut by the friction and shearing force acting on the cutting portion 588d (see FIG. 57 (D)). At this time, since the momentum of the illegal game ball I with the wire rod Iw is attenuated by friction acting on the wire rod Iw or the like, it is between the outer rail 1111 and the launch rail 660 without invading the game area 1100. It will be discharged through.

Therefore, since the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I can be cut by the cutting portion 588d of the fraud prevention member 588, the fraudulent act is performed by the illegal game ball I with the wire rod Iw in the game area 605. It is designed to prevent it from being damaged. Even if the illegal game ball I invades the game area 1100, the wire rod Iw can be cut by the fraud prevention member 588 as described above, so that the illegal act cannot be performed. Further, even if the wire rod Iw cannot be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, the wire rod Iw bites into the V-shaped cutting portion 588d to attenuate the momentum of the illegal game ball I and the game area 1100. Since it is possible to prevent the invasion of the inside, it is possible to prevent cheating.

As described above, according to this example, after the game balls are stored in the upper plate 301 and the game balls are supplied to the ball feed unit 580, the player uses the handle device 500 provided on the front surface of the door frame 5. When operated, the game ball is sent to the hit ball launching device 650 by the drive of the ball feed solenoid 585 of the ball feed unit 580, and the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 by the ball feed launcher 650, so that the game window 101 of the door frame 5 The game will be played in the game area 1100 which is visible through the door frame, and the player can be entertained. At the same time, a feed mechanism (ball feed member 584 and ball feed solenoid 585) is placed on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100. Etc.) and a ball feed unit 580 equipped with a discharge mechanism (ball pulling member 583), so that not only the ball feeding member 584 and the ball pulling member 583 but also the ball feeding member 584 and the ball launching device 650 are possible. It is possible to reduce the number of game balls remaining on the ball feed member 584 side as much as possible when the game balls in the upper plate 301 are discharged by operating the upper plate ball removal button 341. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling lost and to prevent the player from losing interest.

Further, since the ball feed unit 580 provided with the ball removing member 583 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100, the capacity of the upper plate 301 in the plate unit 300 can be increased, and the game ball can be driven. It is possible to prevent the game ball in the upper plate 301 from disappearing at an early stage or the upper plate 301 from being filled up with the game ball at an early stage by the operation, with respect to the game ball in the upper plate 301. It is possible to reduce the annoyance of the player and suppress the decrease in interest, and the plate unit 300 can be miniaturized while maintaining the capacity of the upper plate 301, so that the game can be relatively played. The area 1100 can be made large (wide) so that the pachinko machine 1 can strongly attract the interest of the player.

Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is provided with the ball feeding member 583, the ball feeding member 584 and the ball pulling member 583 are separately compared with the ball feeding member 583. The 584 and the ball pulling member 583 can be attached, the labor involved in assembling can be simplified, the feed unit 580 can be easily replaced, and problems occur in the ball feeding member 584 and the ball pulling member 583. Even so, the problem can be easily solved by replacing the ball feed unit 580.

Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100 in the door frame 5, the upper plate ball is compared with the ball feed unit 580 provided on the main body frame 3 side. It is not necessary to configure the transmission mechanism (upper plate ball pulling mechanism 340) for transmitting the operation of the pulling button 341 to the ball pulling member 584 of the ball feeding unit 580 so as to straddle the openable door frame 5 and the main body frame 3. The configuration of the transmission mechanism can be simplified. Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is provided on the door frame 5 side, the transmission mechanism (as compared with the case where the ball feed unit 580 is provided on the main body frame 3 side) is provided every time the door frame 5 is opened. By shutting off the precision ball removing mechanism 340), it is possible to avoid the possibility that the transmission mechanism is consumed early and malfunctions or is damaged, and the reliability of the operation of the transmission mechanism, the ball feed unit 580, etc. And durability can be increased.

Further, since the upper plate ball removing button 341 is pressed downward, the game ball can be discharged from the upper plate 301 to the lower plate 302 simply by pressing the upper plate ball removing button 341 downward, or the upper plate 301. It is possible to stop the discharge of the game ball from the plate, and the player can easily operate the ball removal operation in the upper plate 301 by the upper plate ball removal button 341.

Further, the partition portion 583a of the ball removing member 583 is moved by the movement of the upper plate ball removing slider 343 that slides in the vertical direction in response to the operation of the upper plate ball removing button 341. At the same time, since the partition portion 583a also moves in the vertical direction, it is possible to reduce the horizontal movement range of the upper plate ball removing slider 343 and the partition portion 583a as much as possible, and the upper plate ball removing mechanism 340 and the ball feed. The unit 580 can be miniaturized, and the pachinko machine 1 can surely achieve the above-mentioned effects.

Further, the upper plate ball removing slider 343 is urged upward, and when the upper plate ball removing slider 343 is in the raised position, the partition portion 583a of the ball removing member 583 communicates the entrance 581a and the hit ball supply port 582a. Therefore, even if the game ball vigorously contacts the partition portion 583a from the upper plate 301, the impact can be alleviated by the urging force acting on the upper plate ball removing slider 343, and the partition portion 583a (ball removing member). The durability of 583) can be increased. Further, since the impact on the partition portion 583a can be alleviated by the urging force acting on the upper plate ball removing slider 343, it is possible to make it difficult for the game ball to repel even if it collides with the partition portion 583a, and the repellent of the game ball. This makes it possible to prevent the ball feed unit 580 and the like from being damaged and causing problems.

Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated, it is related to the movement of the partition portion 583a when the load of the game ball is applied to the partition portion 583a as compared with the case where the partition portion 583a is slid. Friction loss can be reduced, the operation of the upper plate ball removal button 341 can be lightened to improve operability, and the moving range of the partition portion 583a can be reduced in plane projection, as described above. Can produce the effects of.

Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated in the direction in which the entrance 581a and the ball ejection port 581b communicate with each other by its own weight, if a problem occurs in the partition portion 583a or the upper plate ball extraction mechanism 340, the partition portion 583a is rotated. Is rotated by its own weight, so that the entrance and the discharge port are communicated with each other, and the gaming medium in the storage dish is fed to the feed mechanism (loading device) side even though the discharge operation unit is not operated. Since it is discharged to the player side without being able to do so, it is possible to make the player recognize that the pachinko machine 1 has a problem, and it is interesting to move the pachinko machine 1 to the one without the problem. It can be suppressed from decreasing.

Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated via the bent rotating paddle portion 583b in the ball pulling member 583, when the game ball collides with the partition portion 583a, the impact is bent by the rotating paddle portion. By dispersing it by 583b or absorbing it by bending the rotating paddle portion 583b, it is possible to prevent the impact from being linearly transmitted to the rotating shaft, and the durability of the ball pulling member 583 can be improved. Can be enhanced.

Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged directly under the entrance 581a communicating with the upper plate 301 side, the left and right of the game ball in the ball feed unit 580 when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged. The movement in the direction can be minimized, the passage of the game ball in the ball feed unit 580 is improved, and the game ball can be discharged satisfactorily. Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged directly below the entrance 581a, the discharge path of the game ball in the ball feed unit 580 can be shortened as much as possible, and the ball feed unit 580 can be used as a discharge mechanism. Even if the ball removing member 583 is provided, it is possible to prevent the ball feeding unit 580 from becoming unnecessarily large.

Further, the fraud prevention member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b on the rear side of the rear cover 582, and the fraud prevention member 588 (cut portion 588d) is arranged at a position as close as possible to the ball launching device 650. Therefore, the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I in the fastest (momentum) state immediately after being launched by the hitting ball launching device 650 comes into contact with the cutting portion 588d, and the cutting portion 588d. By pulling the wire rod Iw quickly (strongly) with respect to the above, the wire rod Iw can be surely cut, and the momentum of the illegal game ball I is attenuated to prevent it from entering the game area 1100. This makes it possible to reliably prevent fraudulent acts by the fraudulent game ball I.

Further, since the fraud prevention member 588 provided with the cutting portion 588d is mounted in the mounting recess 582b recessed from the rear surface of the rear cover 582 toward the front, in order to form the V-shaped cutting portion 588d. The upper piece 588b bent rearward can be prevented from protruding rearward from the rear end surface of the rear cover 582, and the upper piece 588b of the fraud prevention member 588 injures the operator during assembly or the like. It can be prevented from being lost.

Further, in the fraud prevention member 588 capable of cutting the wire rod Iw attached to the fraudulent game ball I, the upper upper piece portion 588b is bent rearward across the dividing wire 588a extending from the right end of the metal plate material. As a result, since the V-shaped cutting portion 588d is formed, the cutting portion 588d capable of exerting a shearing force can be easily formed (processed), and the cost of the pachinko machine 1 is increased. It can be suppressed from increasing.

The inside of the supply passage 741a, the distribution space 741b, the prize ball passage 741c, the ball removal passage 741d, etc. of the ball device 740 can be visually recognized, and defects such as ball clogging can be easily found. ..

Next, the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 74, 75, and 79. The full tank distribution unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 is attached to the lower end of the prize ball base 710, and guides the game ball paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball unit 740 to the plate unit 300. At the same time, when the game balls are full in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300, the game balls can be distributed so as to be paid out to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300.

The full tank branch unit 770 is fixed to the lower end back surface of the prize ball base 710 at the upper part of the rear end and the locking portion 770a which is locked to the mounting locking part 716 of the prize ball base 710 at the substantially central upper part in the front-rear direction. It is provided with a fixing portion 770b. The full tank branch unit 770 is in a state of being suspended from the mounting locking portion 716 by locking the locking portion 770a to the mounting locking portion 716 of the prize ball base 710 from the rear side, and the prize ball base. By fixing the fixing portion 770b to the 710 with a predetermined screw, the full tank branch unit 770 can be attached and fixed to the lower end of the prize ball base 710.

Further, as shown in the figure, the full tank branch unit 770 is formed in a box shape so that the whole becomes lower from the rear end to the front end, and opens upward at substantially the center in the left-right direction at the upper part of the rear end. The prize ball receiving port 771 that receives the game ball that has flowed down the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710, and the branch space 772 that is arranged under the prize ball receiving port 771 and extends in the left-right direction (see FIG. 79). And the normal passage 773 (see FIG. 79) that guides the game ball from directly below the prize ball receiving port 771 in the branch space 772 to the front side, and the game ball that has passed through the normal passage 773 is discharged forward and in front of the front end. The normal ball outlet 774 opened at the right end of the view and the full tank passage 775 (see FIG. 79) that guides the game ball from a position far to the right side of the rear view from directly below the prize ball receiving port 771 in the branch space 772 toward the front side. ), And a full tank outlet 776 that discharges the game ball that has flowed through the full tank passage 775 forward and opens on the left side of the front view of the normal ball outlet 774.

Further, the full tank branch unit 770 has a ball ejection port 777 that opens upward to the left end of the front end of the upper part of the rear end and receives a game ball that has flowed down the ball ejection passage 741d of the prize ball device 740, and a ball. The ball ejection passage 778 (see FIG. 79) that guides the game ball received by the extraction port 777 to the front side and the game ball that has circulated through the ball extraction passage 778 are discharged forward and the normal ball outlet 774 and the normal ball outlet 774 at the left end of the front view. It is provided with a ball outlet 779 which is opened at a position behind the full ball outlet 776.

In the full tank branch unit 770 of this example, assuming that the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank outlet 776 are the first of the foul cover units 540 in the door frame 5, respectively. The game ball is designed to communicate with the ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c so as to face each other, and the game ball released from the normal ball outlet 774 passes through the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 and of the dish unit 300. The game ball supplied to the upper plate 301 and released from the full tank outlet 776 is supplied to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 through the second ball inlet 542c of the foul cover unit 540. Further, the ball outlet 779 is formed so as to communicate with the upper right end of the rear view of the main body frame base ball extraction passage 622 in the main body frame base 600, and the game ball released from the ball extraction outlet 779 is formed in the main body frame base 600. It is designed to be handed over to the main body frame base ball pulling passage 622.

In this full tank branch unit 770, the game balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball device 740 can be received at the prize ball receiving port 771 via the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. The game ball that has entered the prize ball receiving port 771 hangs down the branch space 772 and flows down into the normal passage 773 arranged directly under the prize ball receiving port 771 in a normal state. Then, the game ball that has flowed down into the normal passage 773 enters the first ball entrance 542a of the foul cover unit 540 from the normal exit 774, passes through the first ball passage 542b, and is above the plate unit 300 from the first ball outlet 544a. It will be supplied to the dish 301.

By the way, when the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is filled with the game balls and the game balls are further discharged from the prize ball unit 700 (prize ball device 740), the first ball outlet of the foul cover unit 540 The game ball that could not come out from 544a to the upper plate 301 side stagnates in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540, and eventually fills the upstream normal passage 773 through the normal ball outlet 774 in the full tank branch unit 770. become. In this state, the game ball that entered the branch space 772 from the prize ball receiving port 771 could not enter the normal passage 773, and started to move laterally in the branch space 772 and moved laterally. The game ball enters the full tank passage 775, and is under the plate unit 300 from the full tank outlet 776 via the second ball entrance 542c, the second ball passage 542d, and the second ball exit 544b of the foul cover unit 540. It is designed to be supplied to the plate 302.

The full-tank branch unit 770 of this example is entirely made of a transparent synthetic resin so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, foreign matter such as dust and dirt that has entered the full tank branch unit 770 and the occurrence of ball clogging can be easily found without disassembling the full tank branch unit 7700. ..

In this way, when the full tank branch unit 770 of this example is full of game balls in the upper plate 301, the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 are automatically used until the full tank is cleared. Since it can be supplied to the lower plate 302, the game ball is not supplied to the hitting ball launching device by operating the ball removal button on the upper plate when the upper plate is full like a conventional pachinko machine. It is possible to prevent the hitting of the game ball from being interrupted, eliminate the annoyance during the game, and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

Further, as described above, when the upper plate 301 is full, the full tank branch unit 770 of this example branches directly under the prize ball device 740, that is, the passage of the game ball paid out at the rear of the pachinko machine 1. Since the game balls staying in the normal passage 773 of the full tank branch unit 770 are discharged to the upper plate 301, the game balls in the upper plate 301 and the game balls in the normal passage 773 are hit ball launching devices. The game ball can be directly driven by the 650, and the storage amount of the game ball in the upper plate 301 is substantially the sum of the capacity of the upper plate 301 and the capacity of the normal passage 773. That is, even if the capacity of the upper plate 301 is made smaller than the capacity of the upper plate in the conventional pachinko machine, the capacity of the normal passage 773 is added, so that the same amount of game balls as the conventional one is stored in the upper plate 301. Can be done. Therefore, by making the upper plate 301 smaller, the game window 101 in the door frame 5 can be made relatively larger (wider), and the pachinko machine 1 having a wider game area 1100 can be made to play a game. The pachinko machine 1 has a high appeal to the player, and the wide game area 1100 makes it possible to entertain the player.

Further, since the two normal ball outlets 774 and the full tank outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 are arranged side by side, the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray (first). Even if there is only one ball entrance 542a and second ball entrance 542c), the game ball can be sent to the door frame 5 side without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branch unit 770). Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game ball (full tank branch unit 770) in the main body frame 3. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the lineup of the pachinko machine 1 provided with the door frames 5 having different numbers of storage plates.

Further, as described above, even if the number of storage plates provided in the door frame 5 is changed, it can be handled without changing the main body frame 3, so that the pachinko machine 1 as a whole for changing the door frame 5 It is possible to reduce the cost of the pachinko machine 1 and provide various pachinko machines 1 at low cost.

Further, the game ball sent from the normal ball outlet 774 to the door frame 5 side through the normal passage 773 is preferentially driven into the game area 1100, and the door frame 5 provided with only one storage plate. Even if the ball is exchanged for, the game ball paid out from the prize ball device 740 can be immediately sent to the storage plate via the normal passage 773 and the normal ball outlet 774, so that the time lag from payout to storage can be reduced. It is possible to prevent the player's interest from being lowered due to the shortage of game balls for driving, and it is possible to sufficiently cope with the door frames 5 having different numbers of storage plates. ..

Further, unless the upper plate 301 is full, the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 are sent to the upper plate 301, so that the frequency of transferring the game balls stored in the lower plate 302 to the upper plate 301 is reduced. This makes it possible to concentrate the player on the driving operation of the game ball, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game.

Further, the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 are arranged side by side, and even when the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage plate, the first ball Since the position of the lower end of the receiving port corresponding to the entrance 542a or the like can be set to the same height as the first ball entrance 542a or the like corresponding to the upper plate 301 of the door frame 5 provided with two storage plates, the storage plate It is possible to prevent the depth from becoming shallow, and it is possible to secure a sufficient storage amount of game balls by deepening the storage plate, so that the player does not have to worry about the storage amount frequently. And it is possible to correspond to the door frame 5 equipped with a different number of storage dishes without changing the main body frame 3 side, and the cost for changing the model of the pachinko machine 1 increases. Can be suppressed.

Further, the position where the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 branches from the normal passage 773 is branched at a position as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, and the upper plate 301 is filled with a game ball. Even if the game ball cannot be discharged from the normal ball outlet 774, the amount of the game ball stored in the normal passage 773 between the normal ball outlet 774 and the branch position of the full tank passage 775 is increased as much as possible. It is possible to increase the amount of substantially stored game balls stored in the upper plate 301 as much as possible. If the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage plate, even if the storage plate is full of game balls and the game balls cannot be discharged from the normal ball outlet 773 or the full tank outlet 776. Since the position where the full passage 775 branches from the normal passage 773 is arranged as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, many game balls are placed not only in the normal passage 773 but also in the full passage 775. Can be stored, and the amount of substantially stored game balls stored in the storage dish can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, even if the number of storage plates provided on the door frame 5 side is different, the storage amount of the game balls in each door frame 5 is maximized without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branch unit 770). It can be a pachinko machine 1 that can be increased to a limited number and can sufficiently cope with different door frames 5.

Further, the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 are wide enough to allow the game balls to be distributed in a plurality of rows, and the amount of the game balls staying (stored) in the full tank branch unit 770 is determined. Since the number can be increased, even if the number of storage plates provided in the door frame 5 is different, it is possible to avoid a decrease in the actual storage amount of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770.

The duct portion 814 of the board unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the opening 822 of the speaker box 820, so that the sound radiated from the opening 822 can be satisfactorily transmitted forward. ing.

The firing power board box 830 in the board unit 800 is formed in a box shape with an open rear portion, and includes a firing power board 831 attached so as to close the rear end opening. The firing power supply board box 830 is adapted to accommodate various electronic components attached to the firing power supply board 831, and heat from the electronic components and the like is passed through the slits 830a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. Can be released to the outside.

The firing power supply board box 830 is detached from above in a storage recess formed by the box housing portion 816 of the board unit base 810 and the front box housing portion 844 of the power supply board box holder 840 described later. It is designed to be accommodated as much as possible. As a result, in the state where the main body frame 3 is assembled, if a problem occurs in the firing power supply board box 830, the firing power supply board box 830 can be easily attached / detached from the front side of the main body frame 3 for replacement or repair. It is possible (see FIG. 63).

Further, the firing power supply board box 830 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 89, the firing power supply board 831 has a DC / DC converter 831a and an electrolytic capacitor SC0 for charging and discharging the electric power from the DC / DC converter 831a. The combined current, which is the sum of the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current due to the discharge from the electrolytic capacitor SC0, is driven by passing a current through the firing solenoid 654 of the ball launching device 650. The firing power supply board box 830 is formed with slits 830a as heat dissipation holes on the upper and lower surfaces thereof in order to release the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 mounted on the firing power supply board 831 to the outside. ing.

Further, since the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply board 831 is an electronic component that is more easily damaged by heat than the DC / DC converter 831a, the side surface of the firing power supply board box 830 in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is arranged is provided with a heat dissipation hole. A slit 830a is formed. Further, in the firing power supply board box 830, a partition wall 830b that divides the internal space into two spaces, a space for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a and a space for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0, is an upper inner wall. It is integrally formed from the bottom surface to the edge of the end opening so as to connect the bottom surface and the inner wall of the bottom surface. As a result, when the firing power supply board 831 is attached to the end opening of the firing power supply board box 830 and the internal space of the firing power supply board box 830 is closed, the internal space of the firing power supply board box 830 accommodates the electrolytic capacitor SC0 by the partition wall 830b. Since two spaces are formed, the accommodation space 830c for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a and the accommodation space 830d for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a, the partition wall 830b and the accommodation space 830c for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0. , A storage space 830d for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a, and a heat insulating wall that blocks the inflow and outflow of heat.

The heat in the accommodation space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is housed, that is, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is slits as heat dissipation holes formed in the upper surface, the side surface, and the lower surface that communicate the accommodation space 830c and the outside air, respectively. By being discharged to the outside via the 830a, it is possible to prevent the released heat from entering the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated. Therefore, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 can be prevented from being transferred to the DC / DC converter 831a. Further, the heat in the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a is the heat radiation holes formed on the upper surface and the lower surface that communicate the accommodation space 830d and the outside air, respectively. By being discharged to the outside through the slit 830a, the released heat can be prevented from entering the accommodation space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is accommodated. Therefore, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a can be prevented from being transferred to the electrolytic capacitor SC0.

In the present embodiment, the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating the merged current to be passed through the firing solenoid 654 of the ball launching device 650 are not installed on the power supply board 851, but are launched separately from the power supply board 851. By being provided on the power supply board 831, the size of the firing power supply board 831 can be made smaller than the size of the power supply board 851. Therefore, the miniaturization of the firing power supply board 831 makes it easier to handle, facilitates the replacement work of the firing power supply board 831, and contributes to shortening the time spent for the replacement work. In this replacement work, the firing power board 831 can be replaced as it is attached to the end opening of the firing power board box 830, that is, the entire firing power board box 830 can be replaced.

Further, even if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operated and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches the end of its life, and the drive firing by the firing solenoid 654 suddenly becomes impossible to fire and the game has to be interrupted, the replacement work of the firing power supply board 831 is required. Since it can be easily performed, the interruption of the game can be resolved at an early stage. Therefore, the inability to fire due to the life of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 can be resolved extremely easily, and the interruption of the game due to the inability to fire can be resolved at an early stage to restart the game, which reduces the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

The electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply board 831 deteriorates and reaches the end of its life due to repeated charging and discharging at a frequency of, for example, 100 times per minute each time drive firing is performed by the firing solenoid 654. On the other hand, although the power supply board 851 creates a DC power supply from the AC power supply of island facilities such as a game hall, it is not repeatedly charged and discharged at the same frequency as the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply board 831. Compared with the firing power supply board 831, its life is extremely long. In other words, the firing power supply board 831 reaches the end of its life due to deterioration due to charging and discharging of the electrolytic capacitor SC0, whereas the power supply board 851 reaches the end of its life due to aging. The DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating the merged current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 are not provided on the power supply board 851, but are provided on the firing power supply board 831 which is separate from the power supply board 851. Electronic components that accompany long-term changes can be concentrated on the power supply board 851. As a result, it is possible to prevent electronic components having a long life from being replaced together with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 having a short life due to aging.

Further, since the launching power supply board 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 that controls the hitting ball launching device 650 can be attached to and detached from the front side through the gaming board holding port 601 that holds the gaming board 4, the capacity for changing the hitting characteristics can be changed. Even if you try to change to a different electrolytic capacitor SC0, it is necessary to remove the game board 4 held in the game board holding port 601 in order to attach and detach the firing power supply board 831, and it is difficult to replace the firing power supply board 831. It is possible to make it difficult to cheat, and it is possible to suppress fraud that intentionally changes the driving strength that is optimized by illegally modifying the firing power supply board 831, and by making it difficult to cheat. The pachinko machine 1 can be used to prevent a player who is frustrated from developing into fraud such as cheating.

In addition, since the firing power supply board 831 is removable and can be replaced, even if the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the firing power supply board 831 is fraudulent, the firing power supply board 831 is immediately replaced and the fraudulent operation is performed. It can be eliminated, the interruption period of the game can be shortened as much as possible, and the feeling of irritation or disappointment due to the interruption of the game can be eliminated at an early stage. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest of the person in the game.

Further, the firing power supply board 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 in the firing control unit 4120 that controls the ball launching device 650 is detachable from the front side through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3 that holds the game board 4. , When the game board 4 is replaced due to a model change, etc., the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) of the launch control unit 4120 can also be easily replaced, so it matches the concept of the new model to be replaced. By replacing the firing power supply board 831 equipped with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and the DC / DC converter 831a that can realize the driving characteristics, the driving characteristics of the ball launching device 650 previously provided in the main body frame 3 can be replaced with a new game. It can be considered to match the board 4. Therefore, since the driving characteristics of the game ball can be easily matched to the concept of the game board 4, the game by the new model game board 4 can be fully enjoyed, and the player's interest is suppressed from being lowered. can do.

Further, since the launch power supply board 831 of the launch control unit 4120 can be attached and detached from the front side, it is not necessary to open the main body frame 3 for the island equipment such as the game hall when replacing the launch power supply board 831. It is possible to simplify the labor required for replacement, and it is possible to replace in a short time, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side. In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) is removable and can be replaced, the driving characteristics are changed as compared with the case where the entire launch control unit 4120 (payout control board 4110) is replaced. It is possible to reduce the cost required for the circuit board and reduce the burden on the hall side and the like.

Furthermore, when changing the model etc., only the game board 4 is replaced so that the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 etc. can be used as they are, so that the launch control unit 4120 can be used for a long period of time. When the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the firing power supply board 831 deteriorates, the firing power supply board box 830 can be easily replaced from the front side as described above, so that a problem occurs due to the deterioration and the firing power supply board 831 is immediately replaced. It is possible to eliminate the problem, shorten the interruption period of the game as much as possible, and eliminate the feeling of irritation or disappointment due to the interruption of the game at an early stage. It is possible to prevent the player's interest in the game from being lowered.

Further, the firing power supply board 831 (launching power supply board box 830) is supported through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the firing power supply board 831 is held by the game board holding port 601 in order to be attached and detached. Since it is necessary to remove the game board 4, even if a tool for performing fraudulent activity is inserted through the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the fraudulent tool reaches the firing power supply board 831 by the game board 4. It is possible to prevent the firing power supply board 831 from being cheated, and it is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 having a high defense against cheating.

Further, the firing power supply board box 830 is supported through the gaming board holding port 601. Probably, the position for supporting the firing power supply board box 830 is behind the front surface of the main body frame 3, so that the firing power supply is supported. It is possible to easily secure a space for supporting the substrate box 830, and it is possible to reliably embody the pachinko machine 1 that supports the firing power supply substrate box 830 and exhibits the above-mentioned effects.

Further, since the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is provided on the firing power supply board 831 and the firing power supply board 831 can be easily attached to and detached from the front side of the main body frame 3, power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654. Even if the load applied to the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes large and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 tends to deteriorate, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 (launching power supply board 831) can be easily replaced, the problem can be solved early, and the game can be interrupted. The time can be shortened as much as possible, and the pachinko machine 1 can surely achieve the above-mentioned effects.

When inserting the rivet 1006, the rivet 1006 is inserted so as to penetrate the rivet slot 1055, 1061 and 1042. When inserting the lowermost rivet 1006, it is necessary to insert the rivet 1006 into the swing shaft hole 1025 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and simultaneously attach the first fraud prevention member 1023 to the U-shaped base 1001. Further, before attaching the first fraud prevention member 1023 to the U-shaped base 1001, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 are connected by the connecting pin 1034, and the guide pin 1028 is inserted into the pin hole. After fixing to 1029 with a screw (not shown), it is necessary to further insert the guide pin 1028 into the lowermost opening of the insertion vertical opening 1020.

Further, in a state where the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame and the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame are stored and fixed in the U-shaped base 1001 by the rivet 1006, the spring 1048 is hung between the spring hook portions 1046 and 1057, and the door is opened. The frame sliding rod 1040 and the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are urged in opposite directions, and the spring 1035 is hung on the spring locking piece 1021 and the spring locking hole 1036 to prevent the second fraud. It is assumed that the member 1032 is in contact with the regulation projecting piece 1031. After that, the cylindrical main body portion of the cylinder lock 1010 is inserted into the lock insertion hole 1009 of the lock mounting piece 1008, and the cylinder lock 1010 is fixed to the mounting hole 1014 with a screw 1012. At this time, the tip of the first engaging protrusion 1017 of the engaging cam 1016 is slightly inserted outside the inclined portion 1024 and into the insertion vertical opening 1020, and the second engaging protrusion of the engaging cam 1016 is inserted. The cylinder lock 1010 is attached to the lock attachment piece 1008 so that the tip of the piece 1018 is slightly inserted into the projecting piece insertion hole 1026 and the insertion vertical opening 1020 of the first fraud prevention member 1023.

In order to attach the assembled lock device 1000 to the back surface of the main body frame base 600 in this way, the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 is inserted into the door hook hole 620 formed in the main body frame base 600. While inserting, the locking protrusion 1004 protruding into a hook shape is inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621 of the main body frame base 600 and moved upward, and in that state, the screw fixing portion 1003 protruding in the horizontal direction is inserted. The lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the back surface of the main body frame base 600 by matching the lock attachment portion 625 and screwing a screw (not shown) into the matched hole. In particular, in the case of the present embodiment, the locking projection 1004 constituting the locking structure of the front portion is formed so as to project from the side surface 1001a which does not contact the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped substrate 1001, while the rear portion is fixed. Since the screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the structure is formed so as to project horizontally from the side surface 1001b in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped substrate 1001, the locking structure of the front portion is in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605. Compared with the case where the side surface 1001b is formed, the lock device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so as not to cause rattling.

Next, the operation of the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. As shown in FIG. 96, when the main body frame base 600 (main body frame 3) is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 and the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. 96 (A). In addition, the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame are locked, and the hook portions 1041 for the door frame and the door frame 5 of the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame are engaged. The hook cover 165 is locked. In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engaging projection piece 1017 of the engaging cam 1016 rotates in the direction of entering the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. 96 (B). The tip of the first engaging projecting piece 1017 engages with the descending engaging hole 1062 of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame, pushes the lower hook member 1052 downward against the urging force of the spring 1048, and connects to the lower hook member 1052. The connecting wire rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 are also pushed down and lowered. As a result, the locked state between the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame is released, and the main body frame 3 is removed by pulling the main body frame 3 toward the front side. It can be opened to the frame 2.

When the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054 and 1065 are in a raised state due to the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same raised position as shown in FIG. 96 (A)), but the hook portion 1054 Since the upper side of 1065 is inclined downward toward the outside, by forcibly pressing the main body frame 3 against the outer frame 2, the upper side inclined portion of the hook portions 1050 and 1065 is formed on the closing plates 24 and 25. Since it comes into contact with the lower end, the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame descends downward, and the upward claws of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 are locked again and slide for the main body frame. The 杆 1050 rises and returns to the locked state.

On the other hand, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the second engaging projecting piece 1018 of the engaging cam 1016 rotates in the direction of entering the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. (Ii) The tip of the engaging projecting piece 1018 engages with the rising engaging hole 1045 of the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame, and pushes up the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame upward against the urging force of the spring 1048. Therefore, the hook cover 165 of the door frame 5 and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 are released from the locked state, so that the door frame 5 can be pulled by pulling the door frame 5 toward the front side. It can be opened to the main body frame 3.

When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lowered position as shown in FIG. 96A), but the door frame is closed. Since the lower side of the hook portion 1041 for door frame is inclined upward toward the outside, by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3, the lower side inclined portion of the hook portion 1041 for the door frame is inclined to the hook cover 165. The sliding rod 1040 for the door frame rises upward in contact with the upper end portion of the door frame, and the downward claw portion of the hook portion 1041 for the door frame and the hook cover 165 are locked again to slide the door frame. The moving door 1040 descends and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding rod 1040 in the present embodiment is formed to have substantially the same length as the total length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the same as the vertical side surface of the main body frame 3. The door frame hook portion 1041 which is attached over the entire length and is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three positions of the upper end portion, the central portion, and the lower end portion of the door frame sliding rod 1040. Therefore, it is possible to securely lock the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 in the total length in the vertical direction, and forcibly open the space between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and insert an illegal tool such as a piano wire between them. It is not possible to perform an act.

As described above, the lock device 1000 of the door frame 3 of the present embodiment unlocks the main body frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 by rotating the key inserted in the cylinder lock 1010 in one direction, and moves in the other direction. By rotating, the lock of the door frame 5 with respect to the main body frame 3 can be released. Further, the lock device 1000 of this example performs a fraudulent act such as hooking a piano wire or the like on the hook portions 1054, 1065 of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame and lowering the hook portion 1054, 1065 without inserting the key into the cylinder lock 1010. Can not be done. The first structure for preventing such fraud is a lock mechanism composed of a first fraud prevention member 1023 and a second fraud prevention member 1032, and the second fraud prevention structure is a U-shaped substrate 1001. The structure is such that the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame and the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame are housed in the closed space.

First, the operation of the lock mechanism, which is the first fraud prevention structure, will be described with reference to FIG. 97. First, when the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 97A, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 come into contact with each other. It is in a state of being. In this state, the first fraud prevention member 1023 rotates counterclockwise due to the urging force of the spring 1035, the stopper piece 1027 penetrates into the fraud prevention notch 1007, and the stopper piece 1027 is the fraud prevention notch. It is in a state of being engaged with the engaging notch 1066 formed in the lower hook member 1052 of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame at the position corresponding to 1007. As a result, even if a piano wire or the like is hooked on the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame and an attempt is made to pull it down, the stopper piece portion 1027 and the engaging notch portion 1066 are engaged, so that the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame is used. It is impossible to illegally pull it down (unlock), and it is not possible to perform an illegal act of opening the main body frame 3.

On the other hand, when the key is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 to normally unlock the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. 97 (B), the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is performed by rotating the key. The piece 1017 is rotated so as to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 is rotated, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017 come into contact with each other, so that the first fraud prevention member 1023 has a swing shaft hole. The rotation starts in the clockwise rotation direction shown around 1025, and the stopper piece portion 1027 also moves so as to retract from the fraud prevention notch portion 1007. As a result, the engagement between the stopper piece portion 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. In this state, when the engaging cam 1016 is further rotated to rotate the first engaging projecting piece 1017, the tip of the first engaging projecting piece 1017 engages with the descending engaging hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame is lowered, the locked state between the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2. You can do it.

When the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in contact with the regulation projecting piece 1031, so that the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1023 are in contact with each other. The positional relationship with 1032 is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. 97 (A). When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 come into contact with each other from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. 97 (A) is obtained. As a result, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when the main body frame 3 is closed. Further, in the present embodiment, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame from being illegally performed by the main body. If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened illegally, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after the release, and it is practically difficult to perform fraudulent acts of raising the sliding rod with a piano wire or the like. For this reason, it is devised to prevent unauthorized operation of the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame.

Further, even with the lock mechanism having the first fraud prevention structure described above, it is not possible to disable the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, assuming that the lock function of the lock mechanism is disabled by an illegal act, in the present embodiment, when the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600), it is inside. The sliding rod 1040 for the door frame and the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame provided in the above are housed in the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1050, and 1065, respectively, and are completely covered. Since it is in a state, even if a piano wire or the like is inserted to pull down the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001, both side surfaces 1001a, 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001 This prevents fraudulent equipment from entering the closed space, making it impossible to easily commit fraudulent activities.

As described above, the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment has the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame inside the U-shaped base 1001 whose width dimension is extremely thin as compared with the lock device whose width dimension is concentrated on the conventional L-shaped base. The sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame is provided so as to be slidable, and the mounting position of the cylinder lock 1010 for operating the lock device 1000 on the U-shaped base 1001 is set to a position below the lower end side of the game board 4. Therefore, even if the size of the game board 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is made extremely large and the space surrounded by the side walls 540 to 543 of the main body frame 3 is made large, the lock device 1000 is placed on the back side of the main body frame 3. Can be firmly attached.

Further, since the U-shaped open side of the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so as to face the back surface of the main body frame 3, the locking device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600) inside. The sliding rod 1040 for the door frame and the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame arranged in the above are completely covered with the U-shaped base 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1050, and 1065, respectively. It is not possible to easily perform fraudulent acts such as pulling down the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame provided inside by inserting a piano wire or the like.

Further, when the lock device 1000 is attached, the locking projections 1004 formed at the upper, middle and lower parts of the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621. It is extremely simple because it has a structure in which the screw fixing portions 1003 formed at the upper, middle and lower parts of the closed side (rear portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are fixed to the lock attachment portion 625 with screws. The locking device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600) with such a structure.

In the lock device 1000 of this example, the screw fixing portion 1003 formed on the lock mounting piece 1008 and the vicinity of the upper portion of the cylinder lock through hole 611 of the main body frame 3 as a structure for screwing the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001. The structure is shown in which the formed lock mounting portion 625 is screwed together. Instead, the screw 1012 for mounting the cylinder lock 1010 to the lock mounting piece 1008 is used, and the tip of the screw 1012 is locked. A structure may be configured in which lock mounting holes screwed through the piece 1008 are formed above and below the cylinder lock through hole 611. Further, even if the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 is not screwed, the lock device 1000 can be attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame) simply by fixing the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock attachment portion 625 at the rear portion of the lock device 1000. It can be sufficiently firmly fixed to the back surface of the base 600).

Further, in the lock device 1000 of this example, the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame and the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame are completely covered with the U-shaped substrate 1001 having the left and right side surfaces 1001a and 1001b. For example, the sliding rod 1040 for the door frame and the sliding rod 1050 for the main body frame are slidably attached to the side surface 1001a on the opposite side not in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 with a rivet or the like, and the side surface 1001b in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 is omitted. An L-shaped substrate (lock substrate) is used, and a sliding rod for a door frame 1040 and a sliding rod for a main body frame are formed in a closed space formed by a side surface 1001a of the L-shaped substrate (lock substrate) and a first side wall 540. The structure for accommodating the 1050 may be used, and the same effects as those of the lock device 1000 described above can be obtained.

As described above, according to the main body frame 3 of this example, the transparent prize ball base 710 having the peripheral wall portion 710a extending rearward (front-back direction) behind the main body frame base 600 and the upper side of the prize ball base 710.

[1-5. Security structure of pachinko machines]
Subsequently, the security structure of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 108 and 109. FIG. 108 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a security structure on the shaft support side of the pachinko machine. Further, FIG. 109 is a perspective view seen from the rear side in a state where the game board is housed.

First, as shown in FIG. 108, the security structure on the shaft support side of the pachinko machine 1 of this example is the side surface of the main body frame base 600 formed of the synthetic resin in the main body frame 3 on the shaft support side (left side in front view). It is composed of a metal security side plate 950 attached to the door frame 5 and a metal reinforcing unit 150 attached to the rear surface of the door frame base 110 formed of synthetic resin in the door frame 5.

As described above, the security side plate 950 of the main body frame 3 is formed of an extruded mold material made of metal (for example, aluminum alloy), and the vertical dimension is substantially the same as the vertical dimension of the main body frame base 600. In addition, the dimension in the front-rear direction is larger than the dimension in the front-rear direction in which the front component 1110 and the game panel 1150 in the game board 4 are combined. The side surface security plate 950 has a plate-shaped side surface piece 952a extending in the vertical direction and extending in the front-rear direction to form a side surface of the main body frame 3, and a front end extending substantially perpendicular to the inside (open side) from the front end of the side surface piece 952a. A middle piece 952c extending from the side piece 952a along the front end piece 952b and extending inward in a substantially perpendicular direction from the rear end of the side piece 952a so as to form a predetermined amount of gap between the piece 952b and the front end piece 952b. It is provided with a rear end piece 952d. As a result, the front end of the security side plate 950 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that is opened inward (open side) by the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c.

Further, the side security plate 950 (main body 952) has the strength and rigidity of the side security plate 950 due to the front end piece 952b, the middle piece 952c, and the rear end piece 952d arranged in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the side plate piece 952a. It has been increased so that the strength of the main body frame 3 as a whole can be increased so that the game board 4 and the door frame 5 can be supported satisfactorily.

[3-4. LCD control unit]
Next, as shown in FIG. 161, the liquid crystal control unit 4150 that controls the drawing of the liquid crystal display device 1900 on the peripheral control board 4010 stores the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a as a microprocessor, various processing programs, various commands, and various data. The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, the VDP (abbreviation of Video Display Processor) 4150c for displaying and controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900 described above, the character ROM 4150d for storing various screen data displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the character ROM 4150d. It includes a character RAM 4150e to which various stored data are transferred and copied.

This liquid crystal control MPU 4150a has a built-in parallel I / O port, serial I / O port, etc., and controls the VDP 4150c based on control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 4140 to draw the liquid crystal display device 1900.

Further, the liquid crystal control MPU4150a receives an execution signal described later from the VDP4150c, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b includes various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900, control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010, corresponding schedule data, and control data (display command). A plurality of corresponding non-resident area transfer schedule data and the like are stored. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data that defines the screen configuration in time series, and defines the order of the screens to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is configured by arranging the non-resident area transfer data that defines the order of various data stored in the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e in chronological order. As the non-resident area transfer data, the order in which the screen data drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the progress of the schedule data is transferred in advance from the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e is defined.

The liquid crystal control MPU4150a extracts the first screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010 from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs it to the VDP4150c, and then outputs the screen data following the first screen data. It is extracted from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and output to the VDP 4150c. As described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data one by one from the head screen data from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs the screen data to the VDP 4150c.

When the screen data output from the liquid crystal control MPU4150a is input, the VDP4150c extracts sprite data from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data and generates drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. The generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, when the VDP4150c does not accept the screen data from the liquid crystal control MPU4150a, the VDP4150c outputs an executing signal to that effect to the liquid crystal control MPU4150a. The VDP4150c employs a line buffer method. This "line buffer method" means that one line of drawing data for drawing the left-right direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is held in the line buffer, and one line of drawing data held in the line buffer is stored in the liquid crystal display device 1900. This is the output method.

When the capacity of the character ROM 4150d becomes large, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150d cannot be ignored, which affects the speed of drawing on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the character ROM 4150d is transferred and copied to the character RAM 4150e having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the character RAM 4150e. The sprite data is basic data that is data before the sprite is expanded in the bitmap format, and is stored in the character ROM 4150d in a compressed state.

Here, the "sprite" will be described. The "sprite" is an image displayed as a unit on the liquid crystal display device 1900. For example, when displaying various people on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the data for drawing each person is called a "sprite". As a result, when displaying a plurality of people on the liquid crystal display device 1900, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to people, houses, mountains, roads, etc. that make up the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 by setting the positions arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap each other (hereinafter, referred to as "the order of superimposing the sprites").

The sprite is composed of a plurality of rectangular areas having 64 pixels in each of the vertical and horizontal directions. The data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "character". In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, it can be expressed using a total of 6 characters arranged in, for example, 2 horizontal × 3 vertical. be able to. In the case of a larger sprite such as a background, it can be expressed by using a larger number of characters. In this way, the number and arrangement of characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

The liquid crystal display device 1900 repeats a main scan for setting a display state for each pixel in one direction along the pixels and a main scan in a direction intersecting the one direction, sequentially from left to right when viewed from the front. It is driven by a sub-scan to be performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control unit 4150 is input to the liquid crystal display device 1900, one line of drawing data is sequentially displayed from left to right when viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900 as main scanning. Output to each pixel. Then, when the output for one line is completed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 shifts to the line immediately below as a sub-scan, and similarly, when the drawing data for the next line is input, based on the drawing data for the next line. As the main scan, the data is sequentially output to one line of pixels from left to right when viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900.

The first special symbol holding storage means 4214 and the second special symbol holding storage means 4224 have new special symbols such as the first and second special symbols being variablely displayed by the first and second special symbol display control means 4218 and 4228. When the variable display cannot be performed, a predetermined number of first special random numbers and second special random numbers triggered by detection signals from the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125 (for example, four each). ), And the execution of the memorized first special random number and second special random number is suspended until the variable display of the special symbol becomes possible.

In the main control board 4100, the first special random number and the second special random number held by the first special symbol holding storage means 4214 and the second special symbol holding storage means 4224 are given to the starting ports 2101, 1022 as a starting prize. It is provided with a priority hold digestion means 4231 that preferentially executes (digests) the second special random number over the timing, and the priority hold digestion means 4231 relates to the second special random number, that is, the second starting port 2102. The hold of the lottery result is prioritized and executed (digested).

Further, on the main control board 4100, the first special random number (first special lottery result) and the second special random number (second special lottery result) stored in the first special symbol holding storage means 4214 and the second special symbol holding storage means 4224 An advantageous game state generating means 4232 that generates an advantageous gaming state that gives the player an advantage based on the special lottery result), and an opening / closing member 2107 that closes the large winning opening 2103 based on an instruction from the advantageous gaming state generating means 4232. It is provided with a large winning opening opening / closing control means 4234 that controls the drive of the attacker solenoid 2113 so as to open / close in a predetermined pattern.

Further, on the main control board 4100, according to the first special random number and the second special random number (first special symbol variation pattern and second special symbol variation pattern) in which the advantageous gaming state is generated by the advantageous gaming state generating means 4232, Further, the variation pattern table changing means 4236 for changing the first special symbol variation pattern table and the second special symbol variation pattern table is provided. The fluctuation pattern table changing means 4236 may be changed to, for example, a fluctuation pattern table (for example, a high probability fluctuation pattern table) in which a fluctuation pattern in which an advantageous gaming state occurs is selected with a higher probability than a normal fluctuation pattern table (for example). Change to a fluctuation pattern table (for example, time reduction fluctuation pattern table) with a shorter fluctuation time of the first special symbol or second special symbol than the normal fluctuation pattern table (so-called probability variation) (so-called time reduction). It is changed to a variation pattern table (for example, a probability variation time reduction variation pattern table) in which the probability that an advantageous gaming state occurs is higher than usual and the variation time of the special symbol is short (so-called probability variation / time reduction).

Further, the main control board 4100 has a normal symbol variation pattern, a first symbol variation pattern, a second symbol variation pattern, and a first special symbol memory according to the ordinary random number, the first special random number, and the second special random number. Command generation means 4238 that generates commands for predetermined control such as effect commands based on the second special symbol memory, etc., and command transmission means 4240 that sends the commands generated by the command generation means 4238 to the peripheral control unit 4140. And have.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player rotates the handle device 500 arranged at the lower right of the door frame 5, and the game balls stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 are generated by the game panel 1150. It is driven into the upper part of the game area 1100 arranged in front of the player, and the game by the game ball is started. The game ball driven into the upper part of the game area 1100 will flow down in the game area 1100 on the upper left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. The driving strength of the game ball can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle device 500, and the more it is rotated in the clockwise direction, the stronger the driving is possible. Further, in the game area 1100, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted at appropriate positions in a predetermined gauge arrangement on the front surface of the game panel 1150, and when the game ball comes into contact with the obstacle nails, the game ball flows down. While the speed is suppressed, various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

When the game ball driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall portion 2503 of the center accessory 2500, the center is centered by a plurality of obstacle nails or the inclined upper surface of the peripheral wall portion 2503. You will be guided to the area on the left side of the accessory 2500. Further, when the game ball driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the right side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall portion 2503 of the center accessory 2500, the outer circumference on the right side of the center accessory 2500 and the game area 1100 It enters the guide passage 2142a of the guide passage member 2142 in the attacker unit 2100 through a narrow gap with the inner circumference, and is discharged into the game area 1100 directly above the gate portion 2105 from the front view left end opening of the guide passage 2142a.

Then, when the game ball that has flowed down the right side of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 1100 is guided by the guide passage 2142a and released into the game area 1100, it passes through the gate portion 2105 with an extremely high probability and the gate sensor 2126. Will be detected by. When the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2126, the main control board 4100 generates a normal random number as a normal lottery result by the normal random number generating means 4200 based on the detection signal.

Based on this ordinary random number, the ordinary symbol of the ordinary symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variablely displayed (for example, the ordinary symbol display 1189 composed of two LEDs of red and green alternately emits light) for a predetermined time (for example). For example, the normal symbol extracted after the lapse of 0.1 seconds to 1 second (between 0.1 seconds and 1 second) and based on the normal random number (normal lottery result) is stopped and displayed (one of the two LEDs of the normal symbol display 1189 emits light). LED. In this example, the same variation display is performed on the ordinary symbol display board 1191a provided on the second unit 2120 of the attacker unit 2100. The variation display of the ordinary symbol is performed based on the ordinary symbol variation pattern selected from the predetermined ordinary symbol variation pattern selection table in the ordinary symbol variation pattern selection means 4204.

Specifically, if the drawn ordinary random number is a "normal hit" random number, it will be stopped and displayed with a normal symbol that suggests a hit (ordinary symbol display 1189 emits green light), and the drawn ordinary random number will be a "normal lost" random number. In the case of, the stop display (normal symbol display 1189 emits red light) is made with a normal symbol suggesting a loss. Then, when the normal symbol suggesting a hit is stopped and displayed, the movable piece 2106 that closes the second starting port 2102 retracts for a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds), and the second starting port 2102 is closed. A game ball can be awarded to 2102.

In this example, since the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is extremely short compared to the conventional pachinko machine, the game ball that has passed through the gate portion 2105 and is drawn for "normal hit" is the second starting port. At the timing of reaching or not reaching the movable piece 2106 that closes the 2102, the movable piece 2106 is retracted by the start port solenoid 2124 and can be received into the second start port 2102. If a lottery is drawn, it will be accepted into the second starting port 2102 with an extremely high probability.

Then, when the game ball is received by the second starting port 2102 by drawing a "normal hit" through the gate portion 2104, it is detected by the second starting port sensor 2125 and based on the detection signal of the second starting port sensor 2125. In the main control board 4100, a predetermined payout command is transmitted to the payout control board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 in response to the payout command, so that one game ball is released. , It is designed to be paid out to the upper plate 301. That is, in this example, when the game ball passes through the right side of the center accessory 2500 (so-called right-handed hitting), it passes through the gate portion 2104 with an extremely high probability and also passes through the gate portion 2105. If a game ball that has passed through is drawn for a "normal hit", it will be accepted into the second starting port 2102 with an extremely high probability, so even beginners and players who are unfamiliar with the game can easily win a prize in the second starting port 2102. It can be made to entertain the player.

By the way, as described above, in the pachinko machine 1, the player can easily make the second starting port 2102 win the game ball by hitting the right side. Therefore, by winning the second starting port 2102, the game ball can be easily won. If the number of game balls to be paid out increases, the burden on the game hall side in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed increases, and there is a risk of hesitating to install the pachinko machine 1. However, in this pachinko machine 1, since the number of game balls paid out by winning the game ball to the second starting port 2102 is one, the lottery of the special lottery result by winning the second starting port 2102 is performed. It is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player, and it is possible to install the pachinko machine 1 without any problem.

Further, in this example, when the passage of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2126 while the normal symbol is being displayed in a variable manner on the normal symbol display 1189, the changing normal symbol is stopped and the normal symbol is generated and extracted first. Until the result of the random number is confirmed, the ordinary random number (including the ordinary symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2126 is temporarily stored by the ordinary symbol storage holding means 4202 and displayed. It is designed to be held, and the number of stored ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of holdings) is displayed on the normal symbol storage display 1188. This ordinary symbol storage display 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and the number of stored LEDs is suggested by the number of each LED that lights up. In this example, up to four LEDs are stored and displayed. ing. When the number of stored items exceeds four, the ordinary random numbers extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2126 are discarded.

On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate portion 2104 and a "normal loss" is drawn, the movable piece 2106 arranged directly under the gate portion 2105 and closing the second starting port 2102 closes the second starting port 2102. Since the game ball remains closed, the game ball that has passed through the gate portion 2105 comes into contact with the upper surface of the movable piece 2106 and rolls to the left from the left discharge port 2122f on the left shelf portion 2122g, so that the left shelf From the left end of the portion 2122g, it is discharged into the game area 1100 below the first starting port 2101 and the general winning opening 2104 and above the large winning opening 2103.

Further, the game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 and has flowed down the left side of the center accessory 2500 is moved to the center side of the game area 1100 under the center accessory 2500 by the shelf 2202 of the front side unit 2200. It has become. Then, when a game ball wins a prize in the general winning openings 2104 and 2201 arranged below the center accessory 2500 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3082, the main control board 4100 controls payout based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is transmitted to the board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 according to the payout command, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls are moved up. It is designed to be paid out to the plate 301.

If the game ball driven into the game area 1100 does not win any of the general winning openings 2104 and 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, the game is played. The area 1100 is provided at the lower center in the left-right direction and is discharged downward from the rear side of the game board 4 from the out port 1151. Further, regardless of whether the game ball wins in any of the general winning openings 2104 and 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the large winning opening 2103, the winning game ball is returned to the game area 1100. It is designed to be discharged downward to the rear side of the game board 4 without being damaged.

By the way, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp entrance 2504 that opens on the left side surface of the center accessory 2500, it is supplied to the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500. More specifically, the game ball that has entered the warp inlet 2504 is supplied from the warp exit 2505 to the left end of the first stage 2511 in the stage 2510, and is mainly the lowest portion after rolling the first stage 2511 in the left-right direction. Is released forward from. Then, the game ball released forward from the first stage 2511 is supplied to the second stage 2512 arranged on the front side and the lower side of the first stage 2511, and is the most after rolling the second stage 2512 in the left-right direction. It is refluxed and discharged from the lowered portion into the game area 1100 above the first starting port 2101 in the attacker unit 2100.

When the game ball rolling on the stage 2510 enters the chance entrance 2513 opened on the left-right central rear side of the second stage 2512, it enters the game area 1100 from the chance exit 2514 opened directly above the first starting port 2101. It is released and is likely to be accepted into the first starting port 2101. Then, when the game balls are received by the first start port 2101 and detected by the first start port sensor 3081, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are transmitted from the prize ball device 740 via the main control board 4100 or the like. However, it is designed to be paid out to the upper plate 301.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when it is desired to win a game ball in the first starting port 2101, a driving operation (so-called left-handed) is performed so that the game ball flows down the left side of the center accessory 2500. If you want to win a prize for the game ball to the second starting port 2102, you can perform a driving operation (so-called right-handed) so that the game ball flows down the right side of the center accessory 2500. The driving operation of the game ball can be selected according to the interest and mood, and the player's thoughts can be reflected and entertained.

Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the game ball reflux-released from the stage 2510 into the game area 1100 flows down to the lower right side of the first start port 2101 without being received by the first start port 2101. , There is a possibility that it will be accepted into the big prize opening 2103. On the other hand, when the game ball reflux-released from the stage 2510 into the game area 1100 flows down to the lower left side of the first start port 2101 without being received by the first start port 2101, the general winning opening of the front side unit 2200. There is a possibility that it will be accepted by 2201.

In the main control board 4100 of the pachinko machine 1 of this example, a game ball wins a prize in the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102, and is detected by the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125. At the first starting port 2101, the first special random number generating means 4212 generates and extracts a predetermined first special random number, and at the second starting port 2102, the second special random number generating means 4222 generates a predetermined second special random number.・ Extraction is performed respectively. Then, based on the extracted special random numbers, it is extracted after the variable display of the special symbol displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started. The special symbol corresponding to the special random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result.

When the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the mode suggesting "big hit" in the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186, the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 opens / closes in a predetermined pattern. A special advantageous game state (for example, a big hit game) occurs, and a game ball is won in the big winning opening 2103 during that time, so that more game balls can be acquired. When one game ball wins the large winning opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740.

In addition, also in these 1st start opening 2101 and 2nd start opening 2102, the 1st special symbol display 1185 and the 2nd special symbol display are similar to the variation display of the normal symbol due to the passage of the game ball to the gate portion 2105. When the special symbol is variablely displayed in the device 1186, or when the special symbol cannot be variablely displayed, such as during a big hit game as a special advantageous gaming state, the game ball wins a prize in the starting ports 2101, 1022 and the first starting port sensor. When detected by the 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125, they were extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125 until the variation display of the special symbol became possible. The first special random number and the second special random number are stored in the first special symbol holding storage means 4214 and the second special symbol holding storage means 4224 to hold the display of the stored special random number. The number is displayed on the first special symbol storage display 1184 and the second special symbol storage display 1187.

The first special symbol storage display 1184 and the second special symbol storage display 1187 are each composed of two LEDs, and the number of memories is suggested by the combination of the light emitting states of the LEDs that are turned off, turned on, and blinking. In this example, up to four of each are memorized and displayed. If the number of stored items exceeds four, the extracted special random numbers are discarded. Further, the second special random number stored (held) by the second special symbol holding storage means 4224 by the priority holding digestion means 4231 has priority over the first special random number stored in the first special symbol holding storage means 4214. It is designed to be executed (digested). That is, the holding of the lottery results relating to the second starting port 2102 and the third starting port 2415 is executed (digested) in preference to the holding of the lottery results relating to the first starting port 2101.

Further, in the main control board 4100, the first special random number and the special random number of the second special random number extracted based on the detection of the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125 are selected as the first special symbol variation pattern. By collating with the predetermined random number determination table (also referred to as the special symbol variation pattern table) determined in advance by the means 4216 or the second special symbol variation pattern selection means 4226, the special random number becomes "miss" or "big hit". In addition to determining which one is, the "big hit" is also determined to be one of "4R big hit", "8R big hit", and "16R big hit". In addition, the random number determination table also determines "probability variation time reduction hit", "probability variation time reduction hit", "time reduction hit", "probability variation time reduction hit" and the like.

When the extracted first special random number or second special random number is a "big hit", the main control board 4100 determines the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 after being opened by the advantageous gaming state generating means 4232. An opening / closing pattern (1) that closes the opening / closing member 2107 when the time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses or when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy any of the conditions of winning the large winning opening 2103. The opening / closing pattern of times is called one round) is repeated a predetermined number of times (predetermined number of rounds), 4 rounds for "4R jackpot", 8 rounds for "8R jackpot", and "16R jackpot". If so, 16 rounds are repeated, respectively, to generate an advantageous gaming state that is advantageous to the player. After the end of the predetermined number of rounds, for the "big hit", the random number determination table is exchanged with the high probability time saving table or the like by the variation pattern table changing means 4236 according to the extracted special random numbers.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, according to the first special random number and the second special random number extracted with the start winning of the game ball to the first starting port 2101 and the second starting port 2102 (special lottery result). In addition to the variable display of the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180, the liquid crystal display device 1900 also responds to a special random number (special lottery result). The production image is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like, a variable display of each symbol row is started in a state where a series of symbol rows composed of a plurality of different symbols are displayed in a plurality of rows (for example, three rows), and then sequentially. When the stop display is displayed and all the symbol strings are finally stopped and displayed, the determination result of the special random number extracted by the combination of the stopped display symbols is suggested to the player side. That is, the effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result is displayed after the plurality of symbol rows are variablely displayed according to the special lottery result due to the start winning. Since the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are larger and easier to see than the special symbols of the first and second special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186, the player is generally displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. We will pay attention to the design.

As one of the effect images in which the plurality of symbol columns are variablely displayed, a "reach effect image" in which a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed while leaving one variable symbol sequence is displayed so as to satisfy a specific condition (reach). As a special lottery result in which this "reach production image" is displayed, there are "reach hit" and "reach loss". There is also a "reach development effect image" that is displayed so as to be connected to the "reach effect image" and that after the reach display, the remaining symbol sequence that is variablely displayed is emphasized and displayed. Further, the liquid crystal display device 1900 can display not only the effect display related to the start winning prize but also the "big hit game effect image" displayed during the "big hit" game.

The variation display of the special symbol on the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 162). , The variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like is controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control board 4150 based on the command related to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control unit 4140. It has become. As a result, since the peripheral control unit 4140 or the like controls the variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900, which the player pays particular attention to, a certain one related to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100. For one command, a plurality of symbol variation patterns can be prepared in advance to increase the number of symbol variation patterns in the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, the "big hit game effect image" and the like displayed during the "big hit" game are also controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 and the like, and various patterns of effect images are prepared in advance. As a result, it is possible to increase the display pattern of the effect image displayed without increasing the load of arithmetic processing on the main control board 4100, so that the pachinko machine 1 can be more entertaining to the player and less likely to get bored. It has become.

Further, in the peripheral control unit 4140, in addition to controlling the effect image, each drive motor 3123, 3152, 3159, 3302, 3506 and the like provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000 are controlled based on the command related to the lottery result. The LEDs mounted on the decorative boards 2115, 2118, 2127, 2133, 2521, 252, 2640, 3020, 3021, 3129, 3130, etc. provided on the game board 4 are appropriately operated, and the LEDs are appropriately emitted. , It is possible to entertain the player with the movable effect and the light emitting effect.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the image effect by the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the three induction decorative members 2117, 2144, 2213 (object detection sensor 2116, 2143, 2212) in the table unit 2000 are used. Composite effect (collaboration effect) using the above, image effect by the liquid crystal display device 1900, and compound effect using the effect units 2550, 2600, 2700, 3100, 3300, 3500 provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000. It is also possible to make the pachinko machine 1 more entertaining to the player and less likely to get bored.

[4-1. Production example]
Subsequently, an example of the effect (example of the collaboration effect) by the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the back side effect unit 3100 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 163 to 165. FIG. 163 (a) is a simplified explanatory view showing a normal state facing from the window portion of the center accessory, and FIG. 163 (b) shows a back right effect unit and a back left effect unit appearing while rotating the rotating decorative body. It is explanatory drawing which shows the effect example which divides the display screen of a liquid crystal display means into three, and (c) is explanatory drawing which shows the state which stopped the rotating decorative body following (b). Further, FIG. 164 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect example in which the display screen of the liquid crystal display means is divided into six with respect to the appearance of the back right effect unit and the back left effect unit, unlike FIG. 163. Further, FIG. 165 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect example in which the back right effect unit and the back left effect unit are made to appear at different rotation positions before they appear.

First, in the normal state, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L of the back side effect unit 3100 in the back unit 3000 are located at the retracted positions where they are separated from each other and separated from each other. The right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are located on the left and right outside of the front view of the window portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, respectively. Therefore, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L of the back side effect unit 3100 are invisible from the player side due to the center accessory 2500 and the game panel 1150, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 through the window 2501. Only the display screen of is visible mainly from the player side (see FIG. 163 (a)).

In this state, when the game ball driven into the game area 1100 is accepted into the first start port 2101 or the second start port 2102 and a predetermined special lottery result is drawn, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left The back-horizontal rotation drive motor 3123 of the rotary decoration unit 3120 provided in each of the effect unit 3100L is driven, and the three rotary decorations 3126 arranged vertically are rotated around an axis extending in the vertical direction. The rotation speed at this time is a speed that is difficult to recognize by the decoration applied to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating decoration body 3126.

The back side right slide drive motor 3152 and the back side left slide drive motor 3159 of the back side slide unit 3150 in a state where the three rotating decorative bodies 3126 provided in the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are rotated. The back right effect unit 3100R is slid to the left in the front view, and the back left effect unit 3100L is slid to the right in the front view.

On the other hand, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the display screen is divided into three upper and lower parts so as to correspond to the rotating decorative bodies 3126 which are vertically arranged in three rows on the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L, respectively. Display different images.

Then, when the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are slid from the retracted position in the direction of approaching each other, three different images are displayed vertically from the left and right of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. A rotating rotating decorative body 3126 appears, and the player's interest can be attracted to the rotating rotating decorative body 3126 and each of the three divided production images.

The back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are slid to the appearance positions closest to each other in a state where each rotating decorative body 3126 is rotated (see FIG. 163 (a)). In the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L may be slid while swinging left and right until the appearance position is reached. It is possible to entertain the player by giving a sense of urgency to the player.

Then, when the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L reach the appearance position, the rotating decorative body 3126 is stopped. When the rotation of each rotating decoration body 3126 is stopped, decorations such as four patterns and patterns applied to the outer circumference of the rotating decoration body 3126 are decorated so as to correspond to the lottery special lottery result. Stop so that the surface faces the player side (see FIG. 163 (c)). As a result, the result of the special lottery drawn is suggested to the player by the combination of decorations represented by the plurality of (six here) rotating decorative bodies 3126, and the player's expectation for the game is raised. Can be done.

In this production, there are a pattern in which a plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3126 are stopped all at once and a pattern in which the plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3126 are stopped in sequence according to the result of the special lottery. Further, during this effect, the LED of the rotating decorative body decorative substrate 3129 is appropriately emitted.

Further, as an effect using the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the back-horizontal effect unit 3100, in the above effect as shown in FIG. 164, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed on each rotating decorative body 3126. On the other hand, it is possible to perform the production of dividing into six so that each can be dealt with separately. In this effect, while each rotating decorative body 3126 is rotated, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are slid to the appearance position, and the display screen is divided into six parts so as to correspond to each rotating decorative body 3126. (See FIG. 164 (a)).

Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed after the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L have reached the appearance position, the rotating plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3126 are sequentially stopped from rotating (see FIG. 164 (b)). ). The rotating decoration body 3126 that stops the rotation is such that when the rotation of all the rotating decoration bodies 3126 is stopped, the combination of the decorations facing the player side corresponds to the special lottery result drawn. , Each of the rotating ornaments 3126 is stopped in sequence.

After that, when the rotation of all the rotating decorations 3126 is stopped, the combination of the decorations of the rotating decorations 3126 that are stopped and facing the player side suggests the result of the special lottery drawn to the player, and the player It is possible to raise the expectation for the game of (see FIG. 164 (c)).

In this effect, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are used as the appearance positions, and all the rotating decorative bodies 3126 are rotated, so that the light orbits around the six effect images. There is a pattern in which the LEDs of the rotating decorative body decorative substrate 3129 provided in the rotating decorative body unit 3120 are sequentially emitted. There is also a pattern in which the light emitting decoration of the rotating decoration body 3126 for stopping the rotation is blinked, or the LED of the back horizontal decoration substrate 3130 arranged next to the rotating decoration body 3126 is made to emit light. Further, there is also a pattern in which the rotating decorative body 3126 is luminescently decorated with a color corresponding to the color of the image divided into six and displayed respectively.

Further, as an effect using the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the back side effect unit 3100, a normal state in which the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are located in the retracted positions (see FIG. 165 (a)). That is, in a state where the rotating decoration body 3126 cannot be seen from the player side, the rotating decoration body 3126 is rotated, and then the surface decorated with a specific decoration according to the lottery special lottery result faces the player side. To stop the rotation. Then, in that state, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L were slid to the appearance positions, respectively, and the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L appeared and became visible from the player side. The decoration of the rotating decorative body 3126 (see FIGS. 165 (b1) and (b2)) causes the player to suggest the result of the special lottery drawn, and raises the player's expectation for the game.

As a result, each time the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L (plural rotation decorations 3126) appear, the decoration of the rotation decoration 3126 seen from the player side is different (FIG. 165 (b1)). , (B2)), so it is possible to excite the player by what kind of decoration the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L appear, and the player is more entertained and the interest is reduced. It is possible to suppress the.

[5. Main control board control process]
Next, an example of the control process executed on the main control board 4100 (particularly the main control MPU 4100a) will be described. FIG. 166 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 166 (a), the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment is first applied to various registers and RAM as the process of step S1 on the condition that the RAM clear switch 4100c is operated. Initialize the stored data. The RAM clear switch 4100c is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1 so that it cannot be operated unless the main body frame 3 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch 4100c outputs a clear signal to the main control board 4100 according to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) elapses from the power on, and the main control MPU 4100a inputs the clear signal when the power is turned on. When it is determined that the data is present, the initialization process (step S1) is executed to initialize the data stored in the RAMs of various registers and the main control MPU 4100a.

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 stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. If the RAM clear switch 4100c is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). Then, a recovery process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch 4100c 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.

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 4100 according to this embodiment, the special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped, and the special symbol. Reach with the variable random numbers used in the lottery process for the predetermined time (variable time) required for the variable display control of the above, and the variable display of the decorative symbol executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900 in response to the variable display of the special symbol. (The left decorative symbol and the right decorative symbol are stopped and displayed with the same symbol, and the middle decorative symbol is not yet stopped and displayed, or the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are all displayed in a variable manner so that they are the same symbol. The reach random number used in the lottery process to determine whether or not to do so, 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 (first It is provided with a random number counter that holds random numbers such as a symbol random number (a second symbol random number), a random number (ordinary random number) used for a lottery process for winning a hit that triggers the operation of the movable piece 2105, and the like.

In this example, the same reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first starting port 2101 is started and the second starting port 2102 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 and the second special symbol as the reach judgment table to be compared with the acquired reach random numbers, 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, the following timer interrupt control is performed, for example, every 4 ms.

FIG. 166 (b) is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100.

As shown in FIG. 166 (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, detection signals from various switches such as the gate sensor 2126, the first start port sensor 3081, the second start port sensor 2125, the count sensor 2114, and the general winning opening sensor 3082 are transmitted. Entered. 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 above-mentioned 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 ordinary symbol is stopped are updated in the random number counter. A counter operation is performed.

Then, after the random numbers are updated in this way, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 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, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, first special symbol process flag, first) indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the main control MPU4100a. (Ii) The corresponding process will be selectively executed based on the special symbol process flag).

Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a normal symbol process process including a lottery process for winning a hit that triggers the operation of the movable piece 2106 as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process process, the corresponding process is basically selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. Further, in the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100, the driving frequency of the movable piece 2106 is higher during the period from the end of the big hit gaming state (excluding a part of the 4R big hit gaming state) to the big hit again. The lottery process is executed so as to be (so-called time saving state). In this embodiment, the winning probability of the normal symbol is increased until the jackpot is reached again after the end of the jackpot game state, and the time required for the variable display control of the normal symbol is shortened, and the lottery of the normal symbol is performed. When the result is a hit, the opening time of the movable piece 2106 is extended to realize such a time saving state.

When the special symbol process process (step S14) and the normal symbol process process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU4100a of the main control board 4100 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 RAM of the main control MPU 4100a to the peripheral control board 4010 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 RAM in the normal symbol process process to, for example, the peripheral control board 4010 is performed.

Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 then performs an information output process for outputting data such as hit information (15R big hit, 10R big hit) supplied to the hall management computer as the process of step S18. ..

Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 detects the first start port sensor 3081, the second start port sensor 2125, the count sensor 2114, the general winning port sensor 3082, and the like as the process of step S19. When the signals are in the ON state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 4110 so that the prize balls corresponding to those signals are paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 4111a mounted on the payout control board 4110 outputs a drive signal from the payout motor drive circuit 4111d to the payout motor 744, and pays out the prize ball to the player.

Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 then executes a storage process for checking the increase / decrease in the number of start 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. 167 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process process (step S14).

Assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes are updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 167, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is first driven by the first start port sensor 3081. On condition that the detection signal is in the ON state (the ball has entered the first start port 2101) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above random number counter and this is the first of the RAM. (I) Execute the first start port passing process such as storing in the special symbol hold storage area (step S32). Further, on condition that the detection signal by the second start port sensor 2125 is in the ON state (the ball has entered the second start port 2102) (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 RAM is executed (step S34).

Next, it is determined whether or not the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot gaming state is controlled is set (step S35), and if the jackpot executing flag is set, the jackpot gaming state is controlled. The jackpot control process (step S39) is executed. In the jackpot control process, the results of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped are "4R latent probability variation jackpot (specific 1)" and "4R probability variation jackpot". (Specification 2) ”and“ 4R normal jackpot (non-specific) ”are suggested, the above-mentioned jackpot 2103 is controlled to be open according to the 4R jackpot game state, and“ 8R probability variation jackpot (specific) When the mode suggesting "4)" is obtained, the above-mentioned big winning opening 2103 is controlled to the open state according to the 8R big hit game state, and "16R sudden probability change big hit (specific 3)" and "16R probability change big hit (specific 5)" are controlled. ) ”, The process of controlling the big winning opening 2103 to the open state is executed according to the 16R big hit game state of short-time opening or long-time opening.

If the jackpot executing flag is not set, the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is "0". (Step S36), 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 S37), and the second special symbol is stored in the second special symbol reservation storage area. On condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of special random numbers is not "0" (step S36), the second special symbol including the lottery process related to the display mode when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped. The process process is executed (step S38). As described above, in this example, when the value of the second special hold number counter is not "0", the variation display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

FIG. 168 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first starting port passing process (step S32).

Now, if it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3081 is in the ON state and the game ball has entered the first start port 2101, as shown in FIG. 168. In addition, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the first special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S41. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved first special symbols described above is the maximum value of "4".

In the process of step S41, when it is determined that the number of reserved first special symbols is not the maximum value, the following steps are taken in order to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S42 to S44 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S42, the first special hold number counter is counted up (1 addition). Next, as the process of step S43, the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Next, as the process of step S44, each random number thus acquired is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU4100a. Store in.

However, in the process of step S41, when it is determined that the number of reserved first special symbols is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S42 to S44, the variation display control of the first special symbol is not newly put on hold.

FIG. 169 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the second starting port passing process (step S34).

Now, if it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second starting port sensor 2125 is in the ON state and the game ball has entered the second starting port 2102, as shown in FIG. 169. In addition, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S51. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the number of reserved second special symbols described above is the maximum value of "4".

In the process of step S51, when it is determined that the number of reserved second special symbols is not the maximum value, the following steps are taken to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S52 to S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S52, the second special hold number counter is counted up (1 addition). Next, as the process of step S53, the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Next, as the process of step S54, each random number thus acquired is stored in the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU4100a. Store in.

However, in the process of step S51, when it is determined that the number of reserved second special symbols is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S52 to S54, the variation display control of the second special symbol is not newly put on hold.

FIG. 170 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. Since the above and the table are different, 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 selectively executed according to the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag.

1. 1. The first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU4100a is read, and based on the read first special random number, a lottery process for displaying the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped is performed. Design 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. Lottery processing for the variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 based on the variable random number and the variation mode of the effect display executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 in response to the special symbol. First fluctuation pattern setting process (step S82)
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 1185 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 1185. First special symbol stop processing (step S84) to stop the variable display of the first special symbol

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. 166).

FIG. 171 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, as shown in FIG. 171 of the same, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first 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 a variation 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 RAM of the main control MPU 4100a 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 read from the RAM. .. Next, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special hold number counter is counted down, and the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored in each storage area. The 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 special 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 1 to 4, and the random numbers extracted according to the occurrence of the start winning prize 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 jackpot determination process, which is a lottery process for winning the jackpot, is performed based on the first special random number of the first special symbol read out. After that, when the above-mentioned 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. 172 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot determination process (step S105).

If the current gaming state is a high-probability state (high-probability time-saving state, high-probability non-time-saving state) (step S111), the main control MPU4100a of the main control board 4100 will be in the high-probability time shown in FIG. If the jackpot determination table is selected (step S112) and the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability shown in FIG. 206 (A) is selected (step S113) and selected. The jackpot determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S114).

The jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 173 (A) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a, and when the gaming state is a low probability state (normal state (low probability non-time saving state) and time saving state (low probability time saving state)). It is provided with a jackpot determination table at a low probability used for, and a jackpot determination table at a high probability used when the gaming state is a high probability time (high probability non-time saving state, high probability time saving state). Then, in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability, it matches with the jackpot determination value indicating that the six types of first special random numbers have won the jackpot, and the deviation determination indicating that the 2393 types of first special random numbers are out of the above. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the values. In the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process, the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability referred to for comparison with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number. Similar to the low-probability jackpot determination table referenced for this, the 6 types of second special random numbers match the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot was won, and the 2393 types of second special random numbers are out of the above. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the deviation determination value indicating that.

Further, in the big hit judgment table at the time of high probability, 60 kinds of first special random numbers including the same first special random number as the first special random number set in the big hit judgment table at low probability match the big hit judgment value. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so that the 2339 types of first special random numbers match the outlier determination value. As described above, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability time saving state, high probability non-time saving state), the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot has been won is low probability (normal state (low probability non-time saving state). ) And the time saving state (low probability time saving state)). In the second special symbol process process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process process, the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability referred to for comparison with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number. Similar to the high-probability jackpot judgment table referenced for this purpose, 60 types of second special random numbers including the same second special random number as the second special random number set in the low-probability jackpot judgment table will be the jackpot. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the jackpot determination value indicating that the player has won and the 2339 types of second special random numbers match the deviation determination value indicating that the second special random numbers are out of order.

When the main control MPU4100a of the main control board 4100 is determined to be a big hit as a result of comparison between the selected jackpot determination table and the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S115). ), The jackpot flag indicating that the fluctuation has won the jackpot is set, the process is terminated (step S116), and the selected jackpot determination table and the first special symbol read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process are read. As a result of comparison with the random numbers, if it is determined that the values are out of alignment, the reach determination table shown in FIG. 173 (B) is compared with the reach random numbers read in step S102 (step S117).

The reach determination table shown in FIG. 173 (B) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a, and is used when the gaming state is a probability change (high probability state (high probability non-time saving state, high probability time saving state)). It includes a time reach determination table and a normal reach determination table used when the game state is the normal state (normal state). Then, in the reach determination table at the time of probability change, the reach random numbers match the reach determination value indicating that one type of reach random number reaches, and the reach determination value indicating that 238 types of reach random numbers do not reach. Are associated with each other.

Further, in the reach determination table at the normal time, it matches with the reach determination value indicating that 7 types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number as the reach random number set in the reach determination table at the time of probability change reach, and 232 types The reach random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the reach determination value indicating that the reach random numbers do not reach. As described above, in this embodiment, in the normal time (normal state), the reach determination value indicating reach is higher than in the probability change time (high probability state).

When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines that the reach is out of reach as a result of comparison between the selected reach determination table and the reach random number read in step S102 (step S117), the variation Sets the reach flag indicating that is the reach, and ends the process (step S119).

FIG. 174 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 4100a of the main control board 4100 first, as shown in FIG. 174. 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 jackpot determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the jackpot flag is set (step S121).

If the jackpot flag is set in step S121, the main control MPU4100a compares the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal processing with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 173 (C). (Step S122), the type of jackpot is determined, and the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined type of jackpot is determined (step S123).

As shown in FIG. 173 (C), the symbol determination table shows each judgment result (4R latent probability variation jackpot of specific 1, 4R probability variation jackpot of specific 2, 16R sudden probability variation jackpot of specific 3, 8R probability variation jackpot of specific 4). A symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number) is stored in a form associated with the 16R probability variation jackpot of the specific 5 and the non-specific 4R normal jackpot. In the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100, the type of jackpot is determined by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the probability of determining the type of jackpot determined based on the first symbol random number and the probability of determining the type of jackpot determined based on the second symbol random number are set to be different. ing.

In particular,
The 1.4R jackpot game state is controlled (the opening / closing pattern for opening and closing the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is repeated four times (4 rounds)), and after the end of the 4R jackpot gaming state, the high probability non-time reduction until the jackpot is reached again. The 4R latent probability variation jackpot of specific 1 that controls the state and executes a game effect in which it is difficult to determine whether or not the liquid crystal display device 1900 is in a high probability state is controlled to the 2.4R jackpot game state, and the 4R After the end of the big hit game state, the 4R probability variation big hit of the specific 2 that controls the high probability time saving state again until the big hit is reached 3.16R big hit game state (opening and closing pattern for opening and closing the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is performed 16 times (16 rounds) ) Repeat) is controlled in a manner in which the game ball is difficult to enter, and after the end of the 16R big hit game state, the high probability time saving state is controlled until the game ball hits again. The 16R sudden probability change big hit 4.8R big hit game state of the specific 3 (The opening / closing pattern for opening / closing the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is repeated 8 times (8 rounds)), and after the end of the 8R jackpot game state, the high probability time saving state is controlled until the jackpot is reached again. 8R probability variation jackpot 5. Control to 16R jackpot gaming state, and after the end of the 16R jackpot gaming state, control to the high probability time saving state until it becomes a jackpot again. Control to the specific 5 16R probability variation jackpot 6.4R jackpot gaming state. After the end of the 4R jackpot game state, the low probability non-time saving state (normal state) is controlled, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 executes a non-specific game effect in which it is difficult to determine whether or not the game state is a high probability state. 4R normal jackpot, one of the 6 types of jackpots is decided.

In this example, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. Then, in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, the distribution of the judgment values is set to be different from that of the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, so that the determination ratio of each jackpot is different. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 173 (C), in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, the 4R latent probability variation jackpot of specific 1, the 4R probability variation jackpot of specific 2, and the 16R sudden probability variation jackpot of specific 3 While the distribution of judgment values is set for the 8R probability variation jackpot of the specific 4 and the non-specific 4R normal jackpot, the 4R latent probability variation jackpot of the specific 1 is specified in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol. The distribution of judgment values is set for the 16R probability variation jackpot of 5 and the non-specific 4R normal jackpot.

In this example, the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round in the big hit game state in the specified 1, 2, 4 to 6 and the non-specified and the specified 3 (opening control of the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100). Time to do) is different. Specifically, in the case of specific 1, 2, 4 to 6 and non-specific, the opening time of the above-mentioned large winning opening 2103 per round is controlled to be 30 seconds, whereas it is controlled to a long open state. When the 16R sudden change big hit of the specific 3 occurs, the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round is controlled to be 0.05 seconds, which is extremely shorter than the long open state. In this way, in the case of a sudden probability change big hit of 16R of the specific 3, since the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round is too short, the opening control of the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 was recognized. Even so, it is difficult to get the game ball to win the large winning opening 2103. That is, during the control of the short open state in the big hit game state, the game ball rarely wins the big winning opening 2103, and unlike the control of the long open state, it is expected that many game balls will be acquired. Can't.

Further, when the type of jackpot is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of jackpot is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when the 4R latent probability variation jackpot of the specific 1 is determined, the 4R latent probability variation jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined, and when the 4R latent probability variation jackpot of the specific 2 is determined, the 4R of the first special symbol is determined. If the probability variation jackpot symbol is decided and the 16R sudden probability variation jackpot of the specific 3 is decided, the 16R sudden probability variation jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is decided, and if the 8R probability variation jackpot of the specific 4 is decided, the first special symbol 8R probability variation jackpot symbol is determined, and when it is determined to be a non-specific 4R normal jackpot symbol, it is determined to be the 4R normal jackpot symbol of the first special symbol. On the other hand, if the jackpot flag is not set in step S121, the first special symbol is determined to be an out-of-order symbol as the mode when the fluctuation is stopped (step S124).

Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, as the process of step S125, any of these lottery results (type of jackpot, missed reach, or missed) is instructed (the mode of the stop symbol of the first special symbol is indicated). A judgment result notification command corresponding to each of the lottery results is set so that (may be instructed)) is transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010. After that, as the process of step S126, this process ends when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82). Peripheral control MPU4140a displays and controls the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the received determination result notification command and fluctuation pattern command.

Specifically, the peripheral control MPU4140a specifies the 4R probability variation jackpot of the specific 2 out of the jackpots from the received determination result notification command as the mode (stop symbol) when the variation of the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is stopped. In that case, the 4R probability variation jackpot symbol (combination of odd-numbered identical decorative symbols of "1", "3", "5", and "7") was determined, and the 8R probability variation jackpot of the specific 4 was specified among the jackpots. In the case, the 8R probability variation jackpot symbol (combination of odd and identical decorative symbols of "1", "3", "5", "7". Common to the 4R probability variation jackpot symbol) is determined, and the specific 5 16R probability variation jackpot is determined. Is determined as a 16R probability variation jackpot symbol (a combination of odd-numbered identical decorative symbols of "1", "3", "5", and "7". Common to the 4R probability variation jackpot symbol and the 8R probability variation jackpot symbol). Then, when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command elapses (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled on the liquid crystal display device 1900. In this way, when the odd number of the same decorative symbol combination of "1", "3", "5", and "7" as the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops changing, the decorative symbol stops. It is not possible to discriminate between the 4R probability variable jackpot of the specific 2 and the 8R probability variable jackpot of the specific 4 and the 16R probability variable jackpot of the specific 5 from It can be determined that the control is performed in a stochastic state. Then, until the effect result in the 4R jackpot gaming state is derived, it is not possible to determine whether or not to continuously control the 8R jackpot gaming state or the 16R jackpot gaming state after the end of the 4R jackpot gaming state.

Further, in the peripheral control MPU4140a, when the 4R latent probability variation jackpot of the specific 1 of the jackpots is specified from the received determination result notification command as the mode (stop symbol) when the fluctuation of the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is stopped. Is determined to be a 4R latent probability variation jackpot symbol (combination of even-numbered identical decorative symbols of "2", "4", "6"), and if a non-specific 4R normal jackpot is specified among the jackpots, 4R normal Determined for the jackpot symbol (combination of the same even number of decorative symbols of "2", "4", "6". Common with the 4R latent probability variation jackpot symbol), and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command elapses (game) At the end of the effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled on the liquid crystal display device 1900. In this way, when the combination of even numbers of the same decorative symbols of "2", "4", and "6" as the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops changing, the specified 1 is specified from the stop symbols of the decorative symbols. A game in which it is not possible to determine whether it is a 4R latent probability variation jackpot or a non-specific 4R normal jackpot, and it is difficult to determine whether or not the liquid crystal display device 1400 is in a high probability state even after the end of the 4R jackpot game state. Since the effect is executed, it is not possible to determine whether or not to control to the high probability state after the end of these jackpot gaming states.

Further, in the peripheral control MPU4140a, when the 16R sudden probability change jackpot of the specific 3 of the jackpots is specified from the received determination result notification command as the mode (stop symbol) when the fluctuation of the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is stopped. Is determined to be a 16R sudden probability change jackpot symbol (a combination of predetermined decorative symbols among the outliers (separate stitches). Specifically, a combination of decorative symbols of "357"), and is specified from the variation pattern command. When the fluctuation time elapses (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled on the liquid crystal display device 1900. In this way, when the combination of the decorative symbols of "357" as the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops fluctuating, it is determined from the stop symbol of the decorative symbol whether it is a 16R sudden probability change jackpot of the specific 3 and 16R. It can be determined that the control to the high probability state is performed after the end of the big hit game state (16R big hit game state in which the game ball is difficult to enter).

Further, the peripheral control MPU4140a is a mode (stop symbol) at the time of stopping the fluctuation of the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. (Combination of decorative symbols that are not the same. However, the left and right decorative symbols are the same), and if the deviation is specified, the missing symbol without reach (combination of decorative symbols that are not the same. Is non-identical), and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command elapses (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled on the liquid crystal display device 1900.

FIG. 175 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 4100a of the main control board 4100 as shown in FIG. 175. If so (step S141), the type of jackpot determined in step S123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process and the variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of jackpot according to the current gaming state are selected (step). S142), if the reach flag is set (step S143), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach according to the current gaming state is selected (step S144), and both the jackpot flag and the reach flag are both. If it is not set, that is, if it is a normal deviation (a deviation that does not execute the reach effect), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of the deviation is selected (step S145).

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 S146), and the determined variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 4010 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 is started (step S147). Further, the main control MPU4100a sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S149). As a result, the effect control is performed by the first special symbol display 1185 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 for the fluctuation time determined in this way.

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. Therefore, the main control MPU4100a 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 ROM of the main control MPU 4100a.

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, among the reach effects, the super reach effect has a higher expectation of a big hit than the normal reach effect, and when the super reach effect is executed, the player's expectation for the big hit gaming state is increased.

Further, when the variation display control of the first special symbol is started, the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is set so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol variation process (step S83) as the process of step S149. This process ends when the update is performed.

In this example, in the variation pattern table for time reduction, the variation time information of one type of special symbol set to about 6 seconds is associated with all of the above special symbol random numbers (first special symbol, second special symbol). In the form, a fluctuation pattern of a special symbol is set. On the other hand, in the non-time saving fluctuation pattern table, the fluctuation time information of a plurality of types of special symbols set in the range of 10 to 120 seconds is associated with each of the above special symbol random numbers, and the fluctuation of the special symbol. The pattern is set. That is, in the variation pattern table during the time reduction, the variation time information of the special symbol is set so that the time required for the variation display control of the special symbol is as short as about 6 seconds as compared with the variation pattern table during the non-time reduction. ing.

Further, in this example, in the control of the time saving state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 251/251, the lottery result of the normal symbol is always a hit, and the time required for the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol. Is shortened to an extremely short predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). Then, when the lottery result of the normal symbol is won, the second start port 2102 is controlled by an opening / closing pattern that closes in an open state for an extremely long predetermined time (for example, 5.5 seconds). .. That is, during the control of the time saving state, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol will be a hit is extremely high, the time required for the fluctuation display control of the normal symbol is constant and short, and the second starting port 21 is in the open state. Because of the long time, it is much easier to win the game ball to the second starting port 2102, and it is more efficient to aim the second starting port 2102 than the first starting port 2101. You can win a prize. In the control of the non-time saving state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 0/251, and the lottery result of the normal symbol is not always a hit, and the second starting port 2102 is aimed at. Also, the game ball cannot be won in the second starting port 2102.

As described above, during the control of the non-time saving state, even if the second starting port 2102 is aimed, the game ball cannot be won by the second starting port 2102, so that the first starting port 2101 is used. The game ball must be launched (so-called "left-handed") aiming at the left side of the center accessory 2500 so that the game ball wins a prize. Further, in the game area 1100 on the left side of the center accessory 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted in front of the game panel 1200 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game ball hits the obstacle nails. By touching the game ball, various movements are given to the game ball so that it flows down. Therefore, even if a game ball is hit on the left side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the first starting port 2101, the first starting port 2101 is not always won, and the first starting port 2101 is won. The missing game ball is discharged to the outside from the out port 1151 provided at the lower center in the left-right direction of the game area 1100.

On the other hand, during the control of the time saving state, it is possible to win the game ball more efficiently by aiming at the second start port 2102 than at the first start port 2101. Therefore, the game ball can be won by the second start port 2102. The game ball must be launched (so-called "right-handed") aiming at the right side of the center accessory 2500 so that the player can win the prize. Further, due to the structure of the game board 4, when the second starting port 2102 is opened, if a game ball is driven into the right side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the second starting port 2102, the game ball passes through the gate portion 2301. After that, the second starting port 2102 is sure to win a prize. Therefore, during the control of the time saving state, the game ball driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 is not wasted (is discharged to the outside from the out port 1151), and during the control of the non-time saving state. Compared with the first starting port 2101, the game ball efficiently wins the second starting port 2102. Further, during the control of the time saving state, in addition to the structure of the game board 4, there is an extremely high probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol will be a hit when passing through the gate portion 2301, and the variation display of the normal symbol. The time required for control is constant and short, and the open state of the second starting port 21 is long, so that the game ball can easily win a prize in the second starting port 2102, and further, the game is played in the second starting port 2102. When the ball wins, the time required for the variable display control of the special symbol is shortened to about 6 seconds, so that the variable display control of the special symbol (holding of the variable display control of the special symbol) is digested in a short time. be able to.

Further, during the control of the time saving state, in addition to the structure of the game board 4, there is an extremely high probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol will be a hit when passing through the gate portion 2301, and the variation display of the normal symbol. The time required for control is constant and short, and the open state of the second starting port 21 is long, so that the game ball can easily win a prize in the second starting port 2102, and further, the variable display control of the normal symbol can be performed. Since the required time (for example, 0.3 seconds) is longer than the time required for the variation display control of the special symbol (for example, 6 seconds), the variation display control of the special symbol (holding of the variation display control of the special symbol) ) Can be prized in the second starting port 2102. That is, during the control of the time saving state, the state in which the reserved number of the second special symbol reaches the maximum value is likely to occur frequently, and even after the reserved number of the second special symbol reaches the maximum value, the above It is easy for a game ball to win a prize at the second starting port 2102. As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls paid out by winning the game ball to the second start port 2102 is one, so that the game ball to the second start port 2102 is used. Even if winning a prize occurs frequently, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player.

FIG. 176 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, as shown in FIG. 176, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first 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 above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

FIG. 177 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 4100a of the main control board 4100 first, as shown in FIG. 177, first steps S181. As the process of, the display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display 1185 is performed, and the first special symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol of is set as a command to the peripheral control board 4010 (step S182).

Next, when the jackpot flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a jackpot start command indicating to start the jackpot game state (step S187), and the jackpot game The waiting time until the start of the state (the time for displaying the start of the big hit game state, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Then, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game state is being executed is set, the time saving flag is reset (step S189), and the first special symbol process flag is set to the initial value of the first special symbol normal processing. This process ends when the process is updated so as to be migrated (step S190). The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010, and depends on the type of jackpot (4R latent probability variation jackpot, 4R probability variation jackpot, 16R sudden probability variation jackpot, 8R probability variation jackpot, 16R probability variation jackpot, 4R normal jackpot). It is prepared individually according to the situation. In step S187, the jackpot start command (4R latent probability variation jackpot start command, 4R probability variation) according to the type of jackpot (4R latent probability variation jackpot, 16R sudden probability variation jackpot, 8R probability variation jackpot, 16R probability variation jackpot, 4R normal jackpot) Set the jackpot start command, 16R sudden probability change jackpot start command, 8R probability variation jackpot start command, 16R probability variation jackpot start command, 4R normal jackpot start command,). As a result, the effect of the jackpot game state according to the type of jackpot instructed by the jackpot start command is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262, and the like.

[6. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, the processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described. FIG. 178 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 178, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU4140a performs the initial setting process (step S501). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 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 elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU4140a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady state process. In the 2 ms steady processing, the process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitor counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitor 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 elapsed 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 elapsed flag is set in step S502 (16 ms elapsed flag T is "1"), after resetting the 16 ms elapsed flag (step S503), 16 ms steady processing is performed (step S504).

In this 16 ms steady-state process, a process of controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like is executed based on the command received from the main control board 4100. When the 16 ms steady processing is completed, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-mentioned steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, when the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

FIG. 179 is a flowchart showing an example of a 16 ms steady-state process executed every 16 ms in the sub-main process. In the 16 ms steady-state process, the peripheral control MPU4140a executes the processes of steps S601 to S606. In the command analysis process of step S601, the command received from the main control board 4100 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S602, the variation pattern setting process (step S147 of the first variation pattern setting process, the process corresponding to the first variation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process process (second variation pattern setting process)). The variation pattern command transmitted by being set, transmitted by being set in the start port passing process (steps S45 and S47 of the first starting port passing process and steps S55 and S57 of the second starting port passing process). The control process related to the liquid crystal display device 1900 is executed based on the reception of the hold number designation command and the random number designation command.

Further, in the sound control process of step S603, the control process related to the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like 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 the lamp drive board 3013 is executed. In the random number update process of step S606, a process of updating a random number (for example, a look-ahead random number) 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 (command in step S601) when 16 ms has passed since the start of the 16 ms steady process. Do not execute (from the analysis process). That is, when 16 ms elapses during the execution of the 16 ms steady state process, only the 16 ms progress flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 ms progress flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady state process, the 16 ms steady state process is performed. To start.

Further, in this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) is executed in the 16 ms steady 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.

[7. Non-pressing effect]
In the present embodiment, an operation is performed when a pseudo continuous fluctuation effect (including a pseudo continuous fluctuation effect) is executed as an effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on a variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100. As an effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the unit 400, the pressing effect for urging the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 and the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 are effective for an effective time. It is possible to execute a non-pressing effect that prohibits the operation. The pressing effect and the non-pressing effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 180 to 182. FIG. 180 is a flowchart showing a button effect control process executed in the effect control process (step S602) of the peripheral control board 4010 that controls the liquid crystal display device 1900. FIG. 181 is a specific effect image in the liquid crystal display device 1900 when the pressing effect is executed. FIG. 182 is a specific effect image in the liquid crystal display device 1900 when the non-press effect is executed.

As shown in FIG. 180, in the button effect control process executed in the effect control process (step S602), the peripheral control MPU 4101a of the peripheral control board 4010 first plays a game in the first start port 2101 or the second start port 2102. Whether the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100 based on the winning of the ball (the start condition is satisfied) is the variation pattern command that executes the pseudo continuous variation effect (including the pseudo continuous variation effect). Whether or not it is determined (step S701). When it is determined in step S701 that the variation pattern command for executing the pseudo continuous variation effect is transmitted from the main control board 4100, the operation is performed in the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect (including the pseudo continuous variation effect). When it is determined whether or not to execute either the pressing effect or the non-pressing effect as the effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the unit 400, and it is decided to execute the effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400. Executes either a pressing effect or a non-pressing effect based on the determination result (step S702). Then, when the pressing effect is executed, the effective time during which the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is effective within the effect period of the pressing effect (for the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 by the pressing detection sensor 432c). The effective time is set according to the pressing effect, whereas when the non-pressing effect is executed, the non-pressing effect is within the effect period of the non-pressing effect. The effective time is set according to (step S703). If it is determined in step S701 that the variation pattern command for executing the pseudo continuous variation effect (including the pseudo continuous variation effect) has not been transmitted from the main control board 4100, the processes of steps S702 and S703 are performed. Instead, the process proceeds to step S704.

Here, the pseudo-continuous variation effect is a symbol that notifies that the symbol is a "pseudo-continuous variation effect" after the variation display of the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is started, and is a temporary stop display (a missed symbol). For example, a specific out-of-bounds symbol or a dedicated symbol indicating that it is a "pseudo-continuous fluctuation effect" may appear. A reach mode may or may not be formed.) This is an effect of starting the variable display of the symbol again, and even though only one game ball is won in the first starting port 2101 or the second starting port 2102 (starting condition is satisfied). This is an effect in which the variation display of the symbol is repeated a plurality of times (1 to 4 times in this example) before the reach mode is formed (the reach effect is executed). In addition, at the time of a big hit, a large number of times are executed as the number of times (re-variation number) that the variation display of the symbol is repeated at a higher rate than at the time of the loss. In this way, the more the variation display of the symbol is repeated many times before forming the reach mode (execution of the reach effect), the higher the proportion of the big hit in the subsequent reach effect, and the larger the hit game state. Expectations will be raised.

In addition, the pseudo-continuous fluctuation effect is a symbol that notifies that it is a "pseudo-continuous variation effect" after starting the variation display of the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, although it is likely to be temporarily stopped and displayed. This is an effect in which the temporary stop display is not performed on the symbol, and as a result, the stop display is performed on the off-design symbol. In this case, since the temporary stop display is not performed by the symbol notifying that it is the "pseudo continuous variation effect", the variation display of the symbol is not started again, and the reach mode is not formed (the reach effect is executed).

Further, the pressing effect is an effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, instructing the player to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, and within a predetermined effective time, the operation unit 400 When the player operates the pressing operation unit 405, the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued before the timing of the temporary stop display with the symbol notifying that it is the "pseudo continuous variation effect". It is a production that notifies whether or not to do it. In this case, if the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within a predetermined effective time without following the instruction in the pressing effect, no notification is given and "pseudo continuous variation". It is not possible to recognize whether or not to continue the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect until it is time to temporarily stop the display with the symbol notifying that it is "effect".

Further, the non-pressing effect is an effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, instructing the player not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, and the operation unit 400 within a predetermined effective time. This is an effect of notifying different comments depending on whether or not the player has not operated the pressing operation unit 405 of the above, and whether or not the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued. In this case, not only when the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within the predetermined effective time according to the instruction in the non-pressing effect, but also when the player does not follow the instruction in the non-pressing effect, the predetermined Even when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within the effective time, the comment is notified depending on whether or not the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued. In addition, by notifying such a comment, whether to continue the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect before the timing of temporarily stopping the display with the symbol notifying that it is the "pseudo continuous variation effect". You can recognize whether or not.

Next, the peripheral control MPU 4101a of the peripheral control board 4010 determines whether or not the pressing effect is being executed and the effective time (effective time according to the pressing effect) set in step S703 is set (step S704). .. When it is determined in step S704 that the effective time corresponds to the pressing effect, whether or not the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within the effective time corresponding to the pressing effect, that is, pressing It is determined whether or not the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 is detected by the detection sensor 432c (step S705). Further, when it is determined in step S705 that the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, that is, the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 is detected by the pressing detection sensor 432c, it is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900. It is determined whether or not the second variation display is executed continuously from the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect (step S706). When the pressing effect is executed based on the variation pattern for executing the pseudo continuous variation effect, the variation display is executed two or more times. Therefore, in step S706, the second variation of the pseudo continuous variation effect. While it is determined that the display is continued, when the pressing effect is executed based on the fluctuation pattern for executing the pseudo continuous fluctuation effect, the variation display ends with one variation display, so that the step In S706, it is determined that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous effect is not continued.

Then, when it is determined in step S706 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued, the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is displayed when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400. The effect of notifying that fact is executed so that it can be determined that the continuation is continued (step S707). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S706 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is not continued, the second variation of the pseudo continuous variation effect is performed when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400. In order to determine that the display does not continue (it is a mess), an effect for notifying that fact is executed (step S708). If it is determined in step S704 that the pressing effect is not being executed and the effective time does not correspond to the pressing effect, or if the effective time corresponds to the pressing effect, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is determined in step S705. If it is determined that the player did not operate the above, that is, the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 was not detected by the pressing detection sensor 432c, the process proceeds to step S709 without performing the processes of steps S706 to S708.

Next, the peripheral control MPU 4101a of the peripheral control board 4010 determines whether or not the non-pressing effect is being executed and the effective time (effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect) set in step S703 (step). S709). When it is determined in step S709 that the effective time corresponds to the non-pressing effect, the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 by the end of the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect. It is determined whether or not the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 is detected by the pressing detection sensor 432c (step S710). Further, the player did not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 until the end of the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect in step S710, that is, the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 was detected by the pressing detection sensor 432c. If it is determined that there is not, it is determined whether or not the second variation display is executed continuously from the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900 (step S711). ). As in step S706, when the non-pressing effect is executed based on the variation pattern for executing the pseudo continuous variation effect, the variation display is executed two or more times. Therefore, the pseudo continuous variation is executed in step S711. While it is determined that the second variation display of the effect is continued, when the non-pressed effect is executed based on the variation pattern that executes the pseudo continuous variation Gase effect, the variation display is performed by one variation display. Is completed, so that it is determined in step S711 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous effect is not continued.

Then, when it is determined in step S711 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued, at the end of the effective time corresponding to the non-press effect, according to the instruction in the non-press effect during the effective time. A reward effect of displaying a comment so as to praise that the player did not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is executed (step S712). On the other hand, when it is determined in step S711 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is not continued, at the end of the effective time corresponding to the non-press effect, the instruction in the non-press effect is given during the effective time. In spite of the above, the regret effect of displaying a comment is executed so as to regret that the player did not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 (step S713).

Further, in step S710, the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, that is, the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 is detected by the pressing detection sensor 432c before the end of the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect. If it is determined to be the case, it is determined whether or not the second variation display is continuously executed from the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900 as in step S711. (Step S714). Then, when it is determined in step S714 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued, when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, the instruction in the non-pressing effect is not followed. A reprimand effect that displays a comment so as to gently blame the player for the operation is executed (step S715). On the other hand, if it is determined in step S714 that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is not continued, the instruction in the non-press effect is not followed when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400. A large reprimand effect is executed in which a comment is displayed so as to blame the player's operation more violently than the rebuke effect in step S715 (step S716). If it is determined in step S709 that the non-pressing effect is not being executed and the effective time does not correspond to the non-pressing effect, the process ends without performing the processes of steps S710 to S716.

Next, a specific example of the pressing effect will be described with reference to FIG. 181. In the present embodiment, during the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect, that is, from the start of the variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the first temporary stop of the symbol (pseudo continuous variation effect). In this case, the pressing effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is executed until the detached symbol is stopped).

First, based on the fact that the fluctuation pattern command is transmitted from the main control board 4100, the liquid crystal display device 1900 starts the fluctuation display of the symbol, and then the pressing effect is started, as shown in FIG. 181 (A). As described above, by displaying the characters "Press the button!" On the liquid crystal display device 1900, the player is instructed to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, and the pressing operation of the operation unit 400 is performed. By displaying an image that imitates the unit 405, the player is urged to operate the pressing operation unit 405. Further, the liquid crystal display device 1900 displays an effective time in which the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is effective, and displays an image showing the remaining period of the effective time. Specifically, the effective time is indicated by the length of the bar displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and as the time from the start of the effective time elapses and the remaining period decreases, the filled portion inside the bar. Is displayed to decrease.

Next, when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within the effective time corresponding to the pressing effect, the second pseudo continuous variation effect is performed based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100. When it is determined that the fluctuation display of the above is continued, as shown in FIG. 181 (B), the liquid crystal display device 1900 is provided with the characters "continuation of fluctuation" as the effect executed in step S707. By displaying it, it is notified that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued. On the other hand, when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, it does not continue to the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100. When it is determined that there is), as shown in FIG. 181 (C), the liquid crystal display device 1900 displays the character "cass" as the effect executed in step S708. It is a pseudo-continuous fluctuation effect, and notifies that the fluctuation display ends with one fluctuation display. If the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within the effective time corresponding to the pressing effect, it is determined that the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is continued. Regardless of whether or not it is present, the pressing effect is terminated without any notification.

Next, a specific example of the non-pressing effect will be described with reference to FIG. 182. In the present embodiment, as in the pressing effect, during the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect, that is, from the start of the variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the first temporary stop of the symbol (pseudo). In the case of the continuously fluctuating Gase effect), the non-pressing effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is executed until the detached symbol is stopped).

First, based on the fact that the fluctuation pattern command is transmitted from the main control board 4100, when the fluctuation display of the symbol is started on the liquid crystal display device 1900 and then the non-pressing effect is started, FIG. 182 (A) shows. As shown, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is operated by displaying the characters "Don't press the button!" While instructing the player not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400. By displaying an image that imitates the pressing operation unit 405 of the unit 400, the player is urged to operate the pressing operation unit 405. Further, the liquid crystal display device 1900 displays an effective time in which the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is effective, and displays an image showing the remaining period of the effective time. Specifically, the effective time is indicated by the length of the bar displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and as the time from the start of the effective time elapses and the remaining period decreases, the filled portion inside the bar. Is displayed to decrease.

Next, when the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 until the end of the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect, the pseudo-continuous based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100. When it is determined that the second variation display of the variation effect is continued, as shown in FIG. 182 (B), the liquid crystal display device 1900 is provided with the reward effect to be executed in step S712. By displaying the characters "You did your best", you are notified of a comment that praises the player for not operating the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 according to the instruction in the non-pressing effect. On the other hand, when the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect is not continued based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100 ( When it is determined that it is a ghost), as shown in FIG. 182 (C), the liquid crystal display device 1900 is subjected to the regret effect executed in step S713, "I don't really press it." By displaying the characters, a comment that makes the player regret that the player did not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is notified while following the instruction in the non-pressing effect.

Further, when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 before the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect ends, the pseudo is based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100. When it is determined that the second variation display of the continuous variation effect is continued, as shown in FIG. 182 (D), the liquid crystal display device 1900 is provided with the reprimand effect executed in step S715. By displaying the characters "Pressing is a message", a comment reprimanding the player for operating the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 without following the instruction in the non-pressing effect is notified. There is. On the other hand, when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, it does not continue to the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100. When it is determined that there is), as shown in FIG. 182 (E), the liquid crystal display device 1900 is provided with the characters "It is terrible to press!" As a large reprimand effect executed in step S716. By displaying, a comment is notified that the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 without following the instruction in the non-pressing effect, which is more intensely reprimanded than the reprimanding effect in step S715. There is.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 182 (A), the operation is performed by displaying the characters "Don't press the button!" On the liquid crystal display device 1900 as the non-pressing effect is started. The player is instructed not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the unit 400, but the prohibition of the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 increases the desire of the player to operate the pressing operation unit 405. It uses the player's psychology. Then, whether or not the instruction in the non-pressing effect can be followed, that is, whether or not the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within a predetermined effective time, there is a desire to operate the pressing operation unit 405. The point is whether or not you can withstand that desire in a high state. In this way, in order for the player not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within a predetermined effective time according to the instruction in the non-pressing effect, the player endures the desire to operate the pressing operation unit 405. You have to.

Further, in the present embodiment, not only is the player instructed not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 during the execution of the non-pressing effect, but also the liquid crystal display device 1900 is instructed not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400. By displaying an image that imitates the above, the player is urged to operate the pressing operation unit 405. Therefore, in order for the player not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 within a predetermined effective time according to the instruction in the non-pressing effect, not only the desire to operate the pressing operation unit 405 but also the pressing operation The player must endure the temptation of being prompted to operate the unit 405. Further, during the execution of such a non-pressing effect, the player wants to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, but must endure not to operate it, which is frustrating while the player endures it. And the feelings of moyamoya will be solicited. Then, if the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 until the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect ends, the player does not have to endure and the player operates the pressing operation unit 400. You will be freed from the pain of what you should not do.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the non-pressing effect, if the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 until the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect ends, a pseudo continuous operation is performed. A comment is notified depending on whether or not to continue the second variation display of the variation effect. Specifically, when it is determined that the second fluctuation display of the pseudo continuous fluctuation effect is continued, as shown in FIG. 182 (B), the characters "Good luck" are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. By displaying, a comment praising that the player did not operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is notified, but such a comment causes the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect. It is possible to make the player recognize that the continuation is to be continued and to think that the result expected by the player is obtained because the pressing operation unit 405 is not operated.

On the other hand, if it is not determined that the second fluctuation display of the pseudo continuous fluctuation effect is continued, the characters "Do not really press" are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as shown in FIG. 182 (C). By doing so, a comment that makes the player regret not operating the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 even though the player did not operate it is notified. If the player recognizes that the second fluctuation display of the continuous fluctuation effect does not continue (it is a mess) and operates the pressing operation unit 405 without the player having to put up with it, the result expected by the player can be obtained. It can make you think that it was done. Then, when the non-pressing effect is executed again after that, it is possible to cause a doubt as to whether or not the player should not operate the pressing operation unit 405.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the non-pressing effect, even when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 before the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect ends, the pseudo continuous variation Comments are notified depending on whether or not to continue the second variable display of the production. Specifically, when it is determined that the second fluctuation display of the pseudo continuous fluctuation effect is continued, as shown in FIG. 182 (D), the characters "Press, Me." On the liquid crystal display device 1900. Is displayed to notify a comment that rebukes the player for operating the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, but such a comment causes the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect. It is possible to make them recognize that they will continue, and to make them think that they would not have been reprimanded unless the player had to put up with it and operate the pressing operation unit 405.

On the other hand, if it is not determined that the second fluctuation display of the pseudo continuous fluctuation effect is continued, the characters "It is terrible to press!" Are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as shown in FIG. 182 (E). Therefore, a comment that violently rebukes the player for operating the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is notified, but such a comment does not continue to the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect ( If the player does not endure and operate the pressing operation unit 405, it is possible to make the player think that the result expected by the player has been obtained. Then, when the non-pressing effect is executed again after that, the player can endure and make an effort not to operate the pressing operation unit 405.

Further, as described above, during the execution of the non-pressing effect, the player must endure the temptation that the player is prompted to operate the pressing operation unit 405, and while the player endures it, It is designed to solicit feelings of frustration and sickness. As a result, when the pressing effect is subsequently executed, the player is allowed to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, so that the feelings of frustration and moodyness raised by the non-pressing effect can be felt. The player will actively operate the pressing operation unit 405 in order to clear it. Therefore, even if the player is not interested in the operation only by being given the opportunity to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 as in the pressing effect, the pressing operation unit 405 in the non-pressing effect By seducing the operation of the above, when the pressing effect is executed, the pressing operation unit 405 is operated, and the effect using the pressing operation unit 405 can be made interested.

In the present embodiment, the non-pressing effect and the pressing effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 are performed during the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect, that is, the variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900. It is executed between the start and the first temporary stop of the symbol (in the case of the pseudo continuous fluctuation effect, until the off symbol stops), but it is not limited to such a period and is not. Various timings before notifying whether or not it is a big hit so that a predetermined effect (for example, a character suggesting a big hit expectation) is executed when the pressing effect or the instruction in the pressing effect is followed. Is running on. For example, in the same fluctuation, both the non-pressing effect and the pressing effect may be executed. Further, in the present embodiment, in the non-pressing effect and the pressing effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, at least when the instruction is followed, whether to continue the second variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect. The comment is notified according to whether or not it is, but it is sufficient if a predetermined effect is executed so as to notify the player of some information (give a privilege). For example, the jackpot expectation level (big hit) In order to notify the expected degree of jackpot, a character suggesting the expected degree of jackpot may appear.

Specifically, within the same variation, during the first variation display of the pseudo continuous variation effect, that is, from the start of the variation display of the symbol on the liquid crystal display device 1900 to the first temporary stop of the symbol (pseudo). In the case of the continuously fluctuating Gase effect), the press effect is performed after the non-press effect is executed and after the reach mode is formed until the notification of whether it is a big hit or not. It is running. In such a case, the player must endure the temptation that the player is prompted to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 during the non-pressing effect, but the pressing effect is within the same fluctuation. By immediately giving an opportunity to operate the pressing operation unit 405 by executing the above, an opportunity to clear the emotions of the illness and moyamoya that were solicited by the non-pressing effect will be given, and the pressing operation unit 405 will be more positively operated. You can participate in the operation. Further, in the pressing effect after the non-pressing effect is executed, it is suggested that the result expected by the player when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 according to the instruction (for example, the jackpot expectation is high). It is not always possible to obtain (such as the appearance of a character), but since a sense of accomplishment can be obtained simply by operating the pressing operation unit 405, it is possible to reduce the feeling of disappointment when the result expected by the player is not obtained. Can be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, while instructing the player not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 during the execution of the non-pressing effect, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is pressed as in the pressing effect. By displaying the copied image, the player is tempted to operate the pressing operation unit 405. By the way, during the execution of the pressing effect, as an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, in addition to the normal image (normal button) that imitates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, the pressing operation unit 405 is used. An image with a red color different from the normal time (red button), an image with the pressing operation unit 405 larger than the normal time (deca push button), and an image with the pressing operation unit 405 with a ladybug pattern different from the normal time ( It is possible to display the ladybug pattern button). Then, during the execution of the pressing effect, a character suggesting that the degree of expectation (the degree of expectation of a big hit or the degree of expectation of a big hit is high) appears in the order of the normal button → the red button → the big push button → the ladybugs pattern button. By making one of the images appear so that the expected result that the player expects, such as, is high, the operation motivation to operate the push operation unit 405 when the image with high expectation appears. Can be enhanced. Further, these images can be made to appear even during the execution of the non-pressing effect.

Specifically, during the execution of the non-pressing effect, the operation unit is displayed by displaying one of a normal button, a red button, a deca push button, and a ladybugs pattern button as an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. The player is tempted to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the 400. In addition, during the execution of the non-pressing effect, the image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 changes in the order of the normal button → red button → deca push button → ladybugs pattern button in one non-pressing effect. The temptation may be gradually increased by displaying on. In such a case, during the execution of the non-pressing effect, the more the image with the higher expectation is displayed in the pressing effect, the stronger the temptation that the player is prompted to operate the pressing operation unit 405. You will have to endure the increased temptation. That is, the stronger the temptation, the stronger the patient must endure not to operate the pressing operation unit 405, which causes more feelings of frustration and moody, but when the pressing effect is executed after that. Can increase the motivation to operate the pressing operation unit 405 by the amount that the feelings of frustration and moodyness raised by the non-pressing effect are strengthened.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effective time for the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 to be effective is configured so that the effective time for the non-pressing effect is longer than the effective time for the pressing effect. Has been done. Specifically, a plurality of different effective times are set as the effective times of the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, which is larger than a predetermined effective time (for example, 5 seconds) among the plurality of effective times. When the effective time is set to be shorter according to the pressing effect, the pressing effect is executed, but the effective time is longer than the predetermined effective time (for example, 5 seconds) among the plurality of effective times. When the effective time corresponds to the non-pressing effect, the non-pressing effect is executed. It should be noted that, of the plurality of effective times, the average value calculated from each of the effective times corresponding to the non-pressing effect is configured to be longer than the average value calculated from each of the effective times corresponding to the pressing effect. You may. In such a case, during the execution of the non-pressing effect, it takes a long time to endure not to operate the pressing operation unit 405, so that a lot of feelings of frustration and moyamoya are sought after. When the pressing effect is executed, the motivation to operate the pressing operation unit 405 can be increased by the amount of the feeling of frustration and moyamoya raised by the non-pressing effect. Further, as an effective time according to the pressing effect, the time during which the pressing operation unit 405 can be operated becomes very short, and even if the difficulty level of having to operate the pressing operation unit 405 increases during that time. By strengthening the feelings of frustration and sickness that were solicited by the non-pressing effect, it is possible to prevent the operator from losing the motivation to operate the pressing operation unit 405.

In the present embodiment, the effective time is indicated by the length of the bar displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 during the non-pressing effect and the pressing effect, and the non-pressing effect is determined by the length of the bar. It can be recognized that the effective time is long, but the filled part inside the bar, which decreases as the time elapses from the start of the effective time, decreases more slowly than when the pressing effect is executed. It may be. Even in such a case, during the execution of the non-pressing effect, it seems that the time from the start of the effective time does not easily elapse on the liquid crystal display device 1900, which makes the feeling of frustration and moody feeling. It will be recruited a lot, but if the pressing effect is executed after that, the operation motivation to operate the pressing operation unit 405 will be increased by the amount of the feeling of frustration and moyamoya that was recruited by the non-pressing effect. Can be enhanced.

Further, in the present embodiment, when starting the variable display of the symbol, the variable time of the symbol (time from the start to the stop display of the variable display of the symbol) and the variable display of the symbol are based on whether or not the lottery result is a big hit. The fluctuation pattern in which the production content (reach production, etc.) is set according to the fluctuation time is determined, but the fluctuation pattern is such that the longer the fluctuation time of the symbol, the higher the jackpot expectation (expectation to become a jackpot). Has been decided. Further, the longer the fluctuation time of the symbol, the longer the effective time during which the operation of the pressing operation unit 405 is effective when the non-pressing effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is executed is set. There is. In such a case, since the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect becomes longer, the time that the pressing operation unit 405 must be endured not to be operated becomes longer, but the pressing operation unit 405 is endured not to be operated. Since the result that the jackpot expectation is high is sometimes obtained, the player can endure and make an effort not to operate the pressing operation unit 405. In the present embodiment, the effective time is indicated by the length of the bar displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 during the execution of the non-pressing effect, but the effective time may not be indicated. In such a case, the player may be worried about how long the time to endure not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 will continue, but as time passes, the expectation of big hit will gradually increase. become. Further, if the pressing operation unit 405 is operated before the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect elapses, it is unknown how long the effective time corresponds to the non-pressing effect, and a big hit. Since it is not possible to know whether or not the expectation is high, the player can endure and make an effort not to operate the pressing operation unit 405.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the non-pressing effect, if the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 before the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect ends, the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 in a pseudo-continuous manner. Notify the liquid crystal display device 1900 of uniform comments (such as "pressing is terrible" or "pressing is terrible!") Depending on whether or not to continue the second variation display of the variation effect. However, depending on the time endured so as not to operate the pressing operation unit 405, the effect (result notification for the non-pressing effect or the subsequent effect (reach effect, etc.) may be the effect content. ) May be executed differently. In such a case, for example, among the effective times corresponding to the non-pressing effect, the longer the time that the pressing operation unit 405 endures not to operate, the more the result expected by the player (the second variation of the pseudo continuous variation effect). The result may be notified so that the expectation for continuing the display is high, or an effect (reach effect, etc.) with a high expectation for a big hit may be executed after that. When the non-pressing effect is executed, the player can endure as much as possible and make an effort not to operate the pressing operation unit 405.

Further, in the present embodiment, as the non-pressing effect and the pressing effect, the effect using the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is executed, but the action of the player can be detected on the front side of the game area 1100. A possible proximity sensor may be used. That is, instead of a member directly operated by the player such as the pressing operation unit 405, a member capable of detecting the player's action without touching the pachinko machine 1 may be used. In such a case, for the pressing effect, the effective time for which the detection of the proximity sensor is effective is set, and when the effective time is started, the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed as "hold your hand". After instructing the person, the predetermined effect result may be obtained when the player performs the instructed action such as "holding his hand" within the effective time. On the other hand, for the non-pressing effect, the player sets the effective time during which the detection of the proximity sensor is effective, and displays "Stay still" on the liquid crystal display device 1900 when the effective time is started. After instructing, continue to perform the instructed action such as "Stay still" within the effective time, and when you endure not to do the action such as "holding your hand", you can obtain the specified production result. It should be. In this way, when the non-pressing effect using the proximity sensor is executed, the player is ashamed of having to perform an instructed action such as "holding his hand" like the pressing effect. Even a player can be motivated to participate in a production using a proximity sensor.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the pressing effect is executed, the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is instructed to operate within the effective time corresponding to the pressing effect, and the pressing operation is performed according to the instruction. When the pressing operation unit 405 is operated, the effect result for the pressing effect can be obtained immediately, but the next effect is not executed until the effective time elapses, and if the pressing operation unit 405 is operated early, The time it takes for the valid time to elapse can be tedious. In this regard, when the non-pressing effect is executed, it is instructed not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 until the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect ends. When the pressing operation unit 405 is not operated according to the instruction, the effect result for the non-pressing effect can be obtained. That is, if the instruction in the non-pressing effect is followed, the effect result is obtained when the effective time elapses. Therefore, even if the effective time corresponding to the non-pressing effect is lengthened, the game according to the instruction. No one gets bored. For this reason, in the non-pressing effect, the effective time is longer than the effective time according to the pressing effect, but if the instructions are followed, the time until the effective time elapses like the pressing effect may become boring. You can enjoy the production until the effective time elapses.

Further, in the present embodiment, the effective time is indicated by the length of the bar displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 during the execution of the non-pressing effect, but the effective time may not be indicated. In such a case, the player becomes more anxious about how long he / she must endure not to operate the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400, and a lot of feelings of frustration and sickness are raised. However, when the pressing operation unit 405 is not operated until the effective time has elapsed, the feeling of relief from the pain can be enhanced by the amount of the irritated and moody feelings that have been solicited. .. Further, when the pressing effect is executed after that, the operation motivation to operate the pressing operation unit 405 can be increased by the amount of the feeling of frustration and moyamoya raised by the non-pressing effect. It should be noted that the effective time is indicated by the length of the bar displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 not only during the execution of the non-pressing effect but also during the execution of the pressing effect, but the effective time is not indicated. You may. In such a case, it is not known when the effective time corresponding to the pressing effect ends, and it is necessary to operate the pressing operation unit 405 as soon as the effective time starts. Therefore, pressing in the pressing effect It is possible to increase the concentration of the operation unit 405 on the operation.
