The pachinko gaming machine 10 equipped with a backup function holds various information including information related to game control (hereinafter referred to as game information) even when the power supply from the external power supply is stopped, and when the power supply is started, the various types are described. It is possible to recover based on the information. The game information includes information on special games, information on jackpot games, information on game status, and information on payout of prize balls. The information about the special game is, for example, information that can specify the lottery result of the winning lottery of the special game, information that can specify the fluctuation pattern of the special game, information that can specify the special symbol derived in the special game, and the like. .. The information related to the big hit game is information that can specify the progress of the big hit game. The information related to the game state includes information that can be specified whether it is a probability fluctuation state or information that can be specified whether it is a high base state (ball entry rate improvement state). The information regarding the payout of the prize ball is information that can identify the untransmitted prize ball signal.

After the power is turned off, power is supplied from the backup power supply (for example, an electric double layer capacitor) of the power supply unit 60, and the stored contents of the main control RWM41c at the time of power off are retained as backup information. The backup power supply is mounted on the power supply unit 60. The main control CPU 41a performs a backup process for storing the backup information in the main control RWM41c when the power supply is stopped. The main control RWM41c may be a non-volatile memory capable of holding the stored contents even when the power is not supplied. The backup function internally retains (backs up) various information related to game control even when the power supply from the external power supply is stopped, and is based on the various information held when the power supply is started. This is a function to restore game control. The main control RWM41c in the present embodiment can store and retain game information, and realizes a function as a backup storage means that enables backup of the game information.

The RWM clear switch 42 is configured to enable an operation for instructing initialization of various backed up information. In the present embodiment, the RWM clear switch 42 corresponds to the initialization operation means configured to enable the operation related to the initialization of the backed up game information. The RWM clear switch 42 is configured to be turned on when the pushing operation is performed, and turned off when the pushing operation is not performed. The operation of the RWM clear switch 42 is, for example, a human operation by the manager of the amusement park. In the present embodiment, the time when the RWM clear switch 42 is in the ON state corresponds to the time when the initialization operation means is operated. Further, in the present embodiment, the time when the RWM clear switch 42 is in the off state corresponds to the time when the initialization operation means is not operated.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 is equipped with a setting change function. The setting change function is a function that can be set by changing the setting value as the setting information that defines the jackpot probability as the degree of advantage regarding the jackpot game. The setting device 43 is an operating means different from the RWM clear switch 42. The setting device 43 can selectively instruct permission or prohibition of shifting to a setting control state (setting changeable state or setting checkable state) that allows change or confirmation of setting information. The details of the setting control state will be described later. In the present embodiment, the setting device 43 corresponds to the setting operation means configured to enable the operation related to the setting information. The setting device 43 includes a base end portion 43c fixed to the main control board 40, and a columnar cylinder 43b having a key hole 43a into which a setting key (key) (not shown) is inserted. The keyway 43a is open to the tip surface of the cylinder 43b. The setting device 43 is in an operating state (instructed state) of either an on state in which the setting key is inserted into the keyway 43a and rotated in a predetermined direction, or an off state in which the setting key is not rotated in the predetermined direction. It is configured to enable the operation to switch to. The setting device 43 is configured to maintain the operation state (on state or off state) after switching using the setting key without returning to the state without human operation. The setting device 43 is configured so that the setting key cannot be removed from the keyway 43a unless the operation state is switched to the off state. The operation by the setting key is, for example, a human operation by the manager of the amusement park. In the present embodiment, when the setting device 43 is in the ON state, it corresponds to "when the setting operating means is operated", and when the setting device 43 is in the off state, it corresponds to "the setting operating means operates". Corresponds to "when not done".

When the display 45 satisfies the transition condition to either the setting changeable state or the setting confirmable state when the power is turned on, the display 45 displays an internally set value to be notified. The display 45 is also used as a display means for displaying information different from the set value and for displaying other information consisting of four-digit information (numerical value, symbol, or character). Other information different from the set value includes, for example, a base value and an identifier for specifying the type of the base value to be notified. The base value is calculated as "(total number of prize balls in the gameable state / total number of effective balls in the gameable state) x 100" on the premise that the base value is in the low probability low base state and not in the big hit game. It is a numerical value counted (calculated) by an equation. The base value includes a first base value in which a first counting period is defined as a period for counting the base value, and a second base value in which a second counting period different from the first counting period is defined. For example, the first counting period is a periodic counting period every time the effective sphere reaches 60,000, and the second counting period is the period from the end of the latest first counting period to the present.

When displaying information related to the base value, the display unit 45 displays an identifier consisting of two-digit information (numerical value, symbol, or character) on the display units 45a and 45b, and the two-digit information (numerical value, symbol, or character) is displayed on the display units 45c and 45d. It is good to display the base value consisting of (numerical value). The base value displayed on the display units 45c and 45d may be displayed in decimal or hexadecimal. If the base value to be notified exceeds the specified value, [FF] may be blinked on the display units 45c and 45d. For example, the specified value is [99] in the case of decimal display and [255] in the case of hexadecimal display. The display 45 may be a dedicated display means for displaying the set value. The display 45 does not necessarily require four display units 45a to 45d when it is not also used as a display means for displaying information consisting of two or more digits. For example, the display 45 may be configured to be able to display a one-digit numerical value by omitting the display units 45b to 45d.

Next, the main control board case 46 constituting the main control unit MU will be described.
The main control board case 46 includes a first case member 47 as a base and a second case member 48 assembled so as to cover the first case member 47. The case members 47 and 48 are all made of a transparent resin material. By assembling the two case members 47 and 48 to each other, a space for accommodating the main control board 40 is formed inside the main control board case 46. The case members 47 and 48 are assembled inseparably without leaving a trace, and are configured so that it can be easily determined that the case members 47 and 48 have been opened due to, for example, fraudulent activity. In the second case member 48, in a state where the main control board 40 is housed in the main control board case 46, the RWM clear switch 42, the setting device 43, and the display 45 provided on the main control board 40 are from the main control board case 46. It is provided with one or more watermark holes for making it exposed. Specifically, the RWM clear switch 42 is exposed through the watermark hole 48a in a state where the main control board 40 is housed in the main control board case 46. Therefore, the RWM clear switch 42 can be turned on through the watermark hole 48a.

The setting device 43 is exposed through the watermark hole 48b in a state where the main control board 40 is housed in the main control board case 46. Therefore, the setting device 43 can be operated by inserting a setting key (not shown) into the key hole 43a of the cylinder 43b to turn it on or off through the watermark hole 48b. The tip surface of the cylinder 43b is flush with (or substantially flush with) the outer surface of the second case member 48. That is, in the setting device 43, only the tip surface (keyway 43a) of the cylinder 43b is exposed from the main control board case 46, and the other parts are covered with the main control board case 46. Further, the display 45 is exposed through the watermark hole 48c in a state where the main control board 40 is housed in the main control board case 46. Therefore, the display 45 can visually recognize the display content through the watermark hole 48c.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the middle frame WN cannot be opened unless the locking device SS is operated by using the frame key managed by the manager of the game hall. That is, in principle, the player who cannot operate the locking device SS cannot open the middle frame WN. Therefore, it can be said that the main control board 40 provided on the back side of the game board YB mounted on the middle frame WN is arranged in a position that is not visible to the player in principle. Therefore, in principle, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 mounted on the main control board 40 cannot be operated by the player. Further, it can be said that the display 45 mounted on the main control board 40 is arranged at a position that is not visible to the player's eyes. In this way, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 can be operated when the middle frame WN is opened. That is, in the present embodiment, the initialization operation means and the setting operation means can be operated when the door member is opened.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low probability state and a high probability state as gaming states having different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of being determined to be a jackpot in the jackpot determination. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. In the high probability state, the probability that the big hit is determined as a big hit is higher than in the low probability state, so that the gaming state is advantageous for the player. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuation state (probability change state)".

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of shots of the game balls is different. The high base state in the present embodiment is a gaming state in which the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 13 is higher than that in the low base state. In the high base state in the present embodiment, the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 13 increases, and the game ball in the second starting port 13 can easily enter the ball, which is advantageous for the player. (Easy to enter the ball). That is, the high base state in the present embodiment is the so-called "electric support state", and the low base state is the so-called "non-electric support state".

For example, the high base state can be realized by performing a control of one arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the normal symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the normal game as compared with the case of the low base state. The second control is the probability fluctuation control of the normal symbol, which changes the probability of winning the winning lottery of the normal symbol (normal winning probability) with a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the second starting port 13 in one normal hit game longer than in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes a control that increases the number of times the second starting port 13 is opened in one normal hit game more than in the low base state, and a control that increases the number of times the second starting port 13 is opened in one normal hit game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for making the opening time of the above longer than that in the low base state. In this embodiment, the normal hit probability in the low base state is set to 0. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is a control for shortening the fluctuation time of the special symbol, which shortens the fluctuation time of the special game (for example, the average fluctuation time) as compared with the case of the low base state. When the fluctuation time reduction control of the special symbol is performed, the high base state is the so-called "variation time reduction state (time reduction state)" for the special symbol. On the other hand, the low base state is a so-called "non-variable time shortening state (non-time saving state)" for the special symbol.

In the following description, a gaming state that is a low-probability state and a low-base state is referred to as a “low-probability low-base state”, and a gaming state that is a high-probability state and a low-base state is referred to as a “high-probability low-base state”. Further, a gaming state that is a low-probability state and a high-base state is referred to as a "low-probability high-base state", and a gaming state that is a high-probability state and a high-base state is referred to as a "high-probability high-base state".

The jackpot probability of setting 1 is K1, the jackpot probability of setting 2 is K2, the jackpot probability of setting 3 is K3, the jackpot probability of setting 4 is K4, and the jackpot probability of setting 5 is K5. The jackpot probability of setting 6 is K6. The jackpot probabilities K1 to K6 have higher probabilities in the order of jackpot probabilities K1 <K2 <K3 <K4 <K5 <K6, and it is easy to win the jackpot. The jackpot probabilities K1 to K6 are a set of the jackpot probability in the low probability state and the jackpot probability in the high probability state. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the jackpot probability changes according to the set value. The set value does not have to be 6 steps, and may be any of 2 steps to 5 steps, and 7 steps or more. In the present embodiment, the plurality of types of setting values are a plurality of setting information that defines the degree of advantage regarding the special game.

In the setting changeable state, the internally set value is notified. In the setting changeable state, the internally set setting value is [Setting 1] → [Setting 2] →… → [Setting 5] → [Setting 6] → [Setting 1] for each operation of the setting switch. ] → ... can be changed to loop. It can be confirmed that the set value has been changed by changing the display of the set value of the display 45. As shown in FIG. 5, on the display 45, numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) corresponding to the set values are displayed on the display unit 45d, and the remaining display units 45a, A bar (−) is displayed at 45b and 45c. As shown in FIG. 3, the display 45 is mounted on the main control board 40. Therefore, the display 45 cannot specify the notification content from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 when the door member is closed, but can specify the notification content when the door member is open. The setting changeable state ends when the setting device 43 is turned off by using the setting key.

When the setting can be confirmed, the internally set value is displayed on the display 45. When the setting can be confirmed, the change of the set value by operating the setting switch is restricted. The internally set values are displayed until the setting confirmation status ends. In this embodiment, the setting switch is also used as the RWM clear switch 42. The setting confirmable state ends when the setting device 43 is operated to the off state by using the setting key.

The error notification according to the second notification mode is performed by displaying the error image in an extremely small area as compared with the entire area of the image display unit GH. The guideline for the extremely small area is, for example, extremely small compared to the display area of the production game displayed on the image display unit GH, in other words, the display does not reduce the visibility of the production game. The error notification according to the second notification mode is performed, for example, by displaying a band-shaped error image, and the band-shaped error image may be displayed fixedly, or may be scrolled or displayed as a telop in a predetermined direction. good.

Further, the error notification corresponding to the generated error is performed according to a predetermined priority (priority). FIG. 7 shows the priority order of setting error, setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clearing, power recovery, and door opening among a plurality of types of errors. In the priority order of the present embodiment, the priority of the setting error (indicated as [1] in FIG. 7) is the highest, followed by the priority of setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clearing, and power recovery (in FIG. 7). (Indicated as [2]) is high, and the priority of opening the door (indicated as [X] in FIG. 7) is lower than these errors.

Each of the above errors is detected by an error detecting means for detecting the error. The error detecting means that has detected an error transmits a notification command instructing error notification to the sub-control CPU 50a. The sub-control CPU 50a that has received the notification command controls the error notification means that is the execution target of the error notification. As a result, the error notification means executes the error notification. The errors that occur in the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured such that all the errors are detected by the main control CPU 41a, or some errors may be detected by a CPU other than the main control CPU 41a. Examples of the CPU other than the main control CPU 41a include the CPU of the payout control board, and the CPU may detect an error related to the payout of the game ball. Therefore, the error detecting means corresponds to a CPU that detects an error, and is, for example, a main control CPU 41a. Further, the notification command may be provided for each type of error. For example, the notification command may be provided for each type of error when the error notification is set to the notification mode in which the type of error can be recognized. Further, the notification command may be shared even if the error is of a different type when the notification mode of the error notification is the same.

Note that the error notification is executed according to the priority, that is, the error is executed with priority, that is, when a plurality of errors having different priorities occur at the same time, the error notification having a high priority has a low priority. It means giving priority to error notification. To prioritize, do not execute low-priority error notification, execute low-priority error notification after high-priority error notification, and execute both error notification but low-priority error notification. This includes reducing the notification amount of the error notification to be smaller than the notification amount of the error notification having a high priority. To reduce the notification amount means, for example, that error notification is normally performed by a plurality of error notification means, but when the notification amount is reduced, the number of error notification means is reduced to reduce the area for executing error notification. be.

FIG. 7 shows a specific mode of error notification for each error, in addition to the priority of error notification exemplified in this embodiment. In the [security signal] column in FIG. 7, [◯] is described for an error in which a security signal is transmitted when an error occurs, and [−] is described for an error in which a security signal is not transmitted. [Notification time] in FIG. 7 indicates the time or period from the start of the error notification to the end of the error notification. "Until the power is turned off" in the figure for the setting error indicates that the error notification regarding the setting error is continuously executed until the power is turned off. When a setting error occurs, the display 45 displays characters (E1, E2) corresponding to the type of setting error on the display units 45c and 45d instead of displaying the set value, and the remaining display units 45a and 45b. A bar (-) is displayed in. [Until cancellation] in the figure for setting change and setting confirmation indicates that the error notification related to the setting change is continuously executed until the setting changeable state is canceled, and the setting confirmation error notification is displayed. Indicates that it will continue to be executed until it is released. “Time T1” in the figure for RWM clear and power recovery indicates that each error notification regarding RWM clear and power recovery is continuously executed until time T1 elapses. [Time T2] in the figure for opening the door indicates that the error notification regarding the opening of the door is continuously executed until the time T2 elapses.

Each column of [display], [voice], and [light emission] in FIG. 7 shows an mode of error notification executed by the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 when an error occurs. In the error notification related to the setting error, the character string of [Please change the setting] is displayed on the effect display device 11, and the voice consisting of the character string of [Please change the setting] is output from the speaker SP. Further, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 blink red. The character string of [Please change the setting] and the voice consisting of the character string correspond to the contents indicating the method for making the game playable. In the error notification related to the setting change, the character string of [setting is being changed] is displayed on the effect display device 11, the voice consisting of the character string of [setting is being changed] is output from the speaker SP, and the decorative lamp LA1 is further output. , LA2 flashes green. In the error notification related to the setting confirmation, the character string of [setting is being confirmed] is displayed on the effect display device 11, and the sound consisting of the character string of [setting is being confirmed] is output from the speaker SP, and the decorative lamp LA1 is further output. , LA2 flashes blue. In the error notification related to RWM clear, [initial combination of effect symbols (indicated as initial symbol in FIG. 7)] is displayed on the effect display device 11, the RWM clear sound is output from the speaker SP, and the decorative lamp LA1 is further output. , LA2 is fully lit. It should be noted that the term "all lighting" as used herein means that the emission colors that can be emitted are sequentially turned on. In the error notification related to power recovery, [power recovery combination of effect symbols (indicated as power recovery symbol in FIG. 7)] is displayed on the effect display device 11, and a power recovery sound is output from the speaker SP, and further decoration is performed. The lamps LA1 and LA2 are all lit. In the error notification regarding door opening, the character string [door is open] is displayed from the speaker SP, and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 blink in white.

In the present embodiment, an image is displayed on the effect display device 11 for each error notification related to setting error, setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clearing, and power recovery, but this image is the first notification in which the display amount of the error notification is large. It is an aspect. For example, the first notification mode is full screen display. The specific mode of error notification for each of the above-mentioned errors may be arbitrarily changed. Further, when the door is opened, the effect display device 11 does not execute the error notification, but for example, the character string [door is open] may be displayed, and this image may be the first notification mode or the second notification mode. It may be a notification mode.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the setting can be changed, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b are notified that the setting can be changed. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the setting can be confirmed, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b are notified that the setting can be confirmed. Specifically, in the special symbol display units 19a and 19b that can be visually recognized from the front side of the game board YB, the settings can be changed by lighting all of the plurality of light emitters constituting the special symbol display units 19a and 19b. Notifies that the setting can be confirmed. The display pattern (hereinafter referred to as the setting notification pattern) that lights all of the plurality of light emitters constituting the special symbol display units 19a and 19b is a dedicated display different from the special symbol used in the special game (the symbol that is out of the jackpot symbol). It is a pattern. That is, the display patterns of the special symbol display units 19a and 19b when the settings are changed to the changeable state or the setting confirmable state are not the display patterns of the jackpot symbols, nor are they the display patterns of the missed symbols. By performing the notification by the special symbol display units 19a and 19b, it is possible to recognize that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a setting changeable state or a setting confirmation state, not limited to the display of the display 45. In the present embodiment, since the special symbol derived by the special game notifies the result of the winning lottery, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b are also used as means for performing notification different from these special notifications. It can be said that there is.

The display of the special symbol display units 19a and 19b may be different display patterns depending on whether the setting can be changed and the setting can be confirmed, or the display of the special symbol display units 19a and 19b may be the same display pattern. When different display patterns are used, for example, the display contents themselves may be different, or the display contents are the same, but when the setting is controlled to be changeable, the light is turned on and the setting is controlled to be confirmable. The display mode may be different, such as blinking when it is. Only one of the first special symbol display unit 19a for playing the first special game or the second special symbol display unit 19b for playing the second special game is used to notify that the setting can be changed or the setting can be confirmed. Or both may be used at the same time. In addition, the first special symbol display unit 19a (or the second special symbol display unit 19b) notifies the setting changeable state, and the second special symbol display unit 19b (or the first special) notifies the setting confirmationable state. The special symbol display unit may be different, such as performed by the symbol display unit 19a).

Hereinafter, the power-on process executed by the main control CPU 41a will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. In the power-on process, the transition to each state is controlled, and the setting error, setting change, setting confirmation, RWM clearing, and error notification related to power recovery shown in FIG. 7 are controlled.

When the power of the main control CPU 41a is turned on and the supply voltage to the main control board 40 reaches the voltage required for the operation of the main control CPU 41a, the main control CPU 41a executes a boot process (boot process) and shifts to a state in which various processes can be executed. do. After the start-up process is completed, the main control CPU 41a executes the power-on process described below.

As shown in FIG. 8, in the power-on process, the main control CPU 41a performs a backup normality determination for determining whether the backed up game information (various information) is normal (step S101). In step S101, the main control CPU 41a determines whether or not there is an abnormality in the stored contents of the RWM area. In the present embodiment, the process of step S101 in the power-on process corresponds to the determination of normal storage content. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured so that the storage content normality determination for determining whether the backed up game information is normal is performed with the start of power supply. The determination in step S101 may be configured to determine whether the backed up game information is abnormal. In this way, even in the case of configuring to determine whether the backed up game information is abnormal, it is substantially equivalent to determining whether the backed up game information is normal, so that it was backed up. The process of step S101 for determining whether the game information is abnormal also corresponds to the determination of normal storage content.

Further, when the backed up game information is not normal (S101: NO), that is, when the backed up game information is abnormal, the main control CPU 41a is based on whether or not the detection signal from the open detection sensor SE7 is received. Then, it is determined whether the door member is open (step S102). When the door member is open (step S102: YES), the main control CPU 41a is operating the setting device 43 in the ON state based on whether the operation signal is received from the setting device 43, that is, the setting. It is determined whether the device 43 is operated (step S103). Further, when the setting device 43 is operated (step S103: YES), is the main control CPU 41a operated in the ON state based on whether the operation signal is received from the RWM clear switch 42? That is, it is determined whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S104). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S104: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second initialization process (step S105).

In the second initialization process, the main control CPU 41a initializes at least the first type of game information and the second type of game information among the backed up game information. The first type of game information includes information regarding set values. The information regarding the set value referred to here substantially corresponds to the set value set when the power is turned off, that is, the information that can identify the set value set when the power supply is cut off. When initializing the information related to the set value, the main control CPU 41a has an initial value (in the present embodiment, a numerical value indicating the first set value) in an area for storing a numerical value (information) capable of specifying the currently set set value. ) Is stored. The second type of game information includes information on the game state. The information regarding the game state referred to here substantially corresponds to the game state controlled when the power is turned off, that is, the information capable of specifying the game state controlled when the power supply is cut off. When initializing the information related to the game state in the second type of game information, the main control CPU 41a is the information that can specify the initial game state in the area for storing the information that can specify the game state currently being controlled. (In this embodiment, information that can identify the low probability and low base state) is stored. In addition, the second type of game information includes information on special games such as information on special games whose execution was suspended (information on special games whose execution was suspended when the power was turned off), and information on ordinary games. It has been. As described above, in the present embodiment, the backed up game information includes the first type of game information and the second type of game information different from the first type of game information. Incidentally, the backed up game information includes the third type of game information in addition to the first type of game information and the second type of game information. The third type of game information includes information on the base value. The information regarding the base value referred to here includes information necessary for counting the base value and information necessary for displaying the base value.

When the process of step S105 is performed, the main control CPU 41a turns on the external information output. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a starts outputting a security signal from the external terminal board 70. After finishing the process of step S105, the main control CPU 41a performs a setting change process (step S106) to make the setting changeable state, and when the setting changeable state is canceled and the setting change process is completed, the game is ready to play. .. The security signal whose output is started when the process of step S105 is performed is continuously output until the output is stopped in the setting change process in step S106. The setting change process will be described later. On the other hand, when the door member is not opened in step S102 (step S102: NO), when the setting device 43 is not operated (step S103: NO), and when the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated (step). If any of S104: NO), the main control CPU 41a performs the first game incapacity process (step S107) to put the game inoperable state. The first game impossible processing will be described later.

If the backed up game information is normal (step S101: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the door member is open, as in the process of step S102 (step S108). When the door member is not opened (step S108: NO), the main control CPU 41a reads out the backed up game information that can specify the state when the power is turned off, and the state when the power is turned off can be changed. It is determined whether the state was in the state, that is, whether the power supply was cut off when the setting was changed to the changeable state (step S109). Then, when the setting can be changed when the power is turned off (step S109: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game incapacity process (step S110), and puts the game inoperable state. The second game impossible processing will be described later. On the other hand, when the setting cannot be changed when the power is turned off (step S109: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated as in the process of step S104 (step S111). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S111: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process (step S112). In the first initialization process, the main control CPU 41a initializes at least the first type of game information and the second type of game information of the second type of game information among the backed up game information.

When the process of step S112 is performed, the main control CPU 41a starts the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. After that, the main control CPU 41a sets the device. In the device setting, the main control CPU 41a starts reading the detection result by each sensor SE1 to SE6. That is, each of the sensors SE1 to SE6, which has been invalid since the power was turned on, becomes valid. Note that each sensor SE1 to SE6 is invalid even during device setting. Further, the main control CPU 41a turns off the external information output. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, the main control CPU 41a has a predetermined period (for example, 50 ms) from the start of the output of the security signal to the stop of the output of the security signal when the process of step S112 is performed. If not, the output of the security signal is extended until the predetermined period elapses. After that, the main control CPU 41a is put into a game-enabled state. The main control CPU 41a returns based on the game information and is in a game-enabled state. If the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in step S111 (step S111: NO), the main control CPU 41a does not perform the first initialization process, but returns based on the game information to enable the game. By the way, when the determination result in step S109 is negative, since the game information backed up in step S101 is determined to be normal, the game has never been disabled when the power is turned off. Substantially, it corresponds to the case where the power is turned off in either the game-enabled state or the setting checkable state.

As shown in FIG. 9, when the door member is opened in step S108 (step S108: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the setting device 43 is operated as in step S103 (step S113). .. When the setting device 43 is operated (step S113: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated as in step S104 (step S114). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S114: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process in the same manner as in step S112 (step S115). When the process of step S115 is performed, the main control CPU 41a starts the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. After finishing the process of step S115, the main control CPU 41a performs the setting change process (step S116) to make the setting changeable state, and when the setting changeable state is canceled and the setting change process is completed, based on the game information. It returns and is ready for play. The security signal whose output is started when the processing of step S115 is performed is continuously output until the output is stopped in the setting change processing in step S116.

On the other hand, when the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in step S114 (step S114: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the state at the time of power off is the setting changeable state (step S117), as in step S109. ). When the setting can be changed when the power is turned off (step S117: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game incapacity process (step S118) to put the game inoperable state. On the other hand, if the setting cannot be changed when the power is turned off (step S117: NO), the main control CPU 41a performs a setting confirmation process (step S119) to make the setting confirmable state, and the setting confirmable state is canceled to confirm the setting. When the processing is completed, the game returns based on the game information and the game is ready for play. Incidentally, the case where the determination result in step S117 is negative is substantially the same as the case where the determination result in step S109 is negative because the game information backed up in step S101 is determined to be normal. In addition, it corresponds to the case where the power is cut off in either the game-enabled state or the setting confirmation-enabled state.

Further, when the setting device 43 is not operated in step S113 (step S113: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated as in step S104 (step S120). Then, when the RWM clear switch 42 is operated (step S120: YES), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the state when the power is turned off is the setting changeable state (step S121), as in step S109. When the setting can be changed when the power is turned off (step S121: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game incapacity process (step S122) to put the game inoperable state. On the other hand, when the setting cannot be changed when the power is turned off (step S121: NO), the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process in the same manner as in step S112 (step S123). When the process of step S123 is performed, the main control CPU 41a starts the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. After that, the main control CPU 41a sets the device. Further, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, if the period (output period) from the start of the output of the security signal to the stop of the output of the security signal when the processing of step S123 is performed, the main control CPU 41a is security. The output of the signal is extended until the predetermined period elapses. After that, the main control CPU 41a returns based on the game information and is in a game-enabled state. Incidentally, the case where the determination result in step S121 is negative is substantially the same as the case where the determination result in step S109 is negative because the game information backed up in step S101 is determined to be normal. In addition, it corresponds to the case where the power is cut off in either the game-enabled state or the setting confirmation-enabled state.

On the other hand, when the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in step S120 (step S120: NO), the main control CPU 41a determines whether the state when the power is turned off is a setting changeable state (step S124), as in step S109. ). When the setting can be changed when the power is turned off (step S124: YES), the main control CPU 41a performs the second game impossible process (step S125) to make the game impossible state. On the other hand, when the setting is not changeable when the power is turned off (step S124: NO), the main control CPU 41a returns based on the game information and is in the game-enabled state. Incidentally, the case where the determination result in step S124 is negative is substantially the same as the case where the determination result in step S109 is negative because the game information backed up in step S101 is determined to be normal. In addition, it corresponds to the case where the power is turned off in either the game-enabled state or the setting confirmation-enabled state.

Further, when the power-on processing is performed to enable the game, the main control CPU 41a transmits a power-on initial time designation command or a power-on power-on recovery designation command to the sub-control CPU 50a of the sub-control board 50. Specifically, when the game is enabled after performing at least one of the first initialization process and the second initialization process in the power-on process, the main control CPU 41a sends a power-on initial time designation command to the sub-control CPU 50a. Send. On the other hand, when the game is enabled without performing either the first initialization process or the second initialization process in the power-on processing, the main control CPU 41a transmits a power-on power-on / recovery designation command to the sub-control CPU 50a. In addition, "when the power is turned on to make the game possible" means that the setting can be changed in addition to the case where the game can be made without going through either the setting changeable state or the setting checkable state. This includes the case where the game is enabled via the state and the case where the game is enabled via the setting confirmable state.

Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the power-on initial designation command, the sub-control CPU 50a performs RWM clear notification. In the RWM clear notification, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 are made to emit light in a predetermined light emission pattern, and the sound dedicated to RWM clear is output from the speaker SP. The RWM clear notification is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and ends when the predetermined time elapses. Further, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the power-on initial designation command, the image display unit GH displays an initial combination (initial symbol) of a plurality of rows of effect symbols and an initial screen such as a predetermined background image. The initial combination of the production symbols is a combination that depends on the series of the pachinko gaming machines 10. Further, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the command specified at the initial time of turning on the power, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the effect game so that it can be executed. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to execute the demo effect when the execution condition of the demo effect is satisfied, such as when the special game is not started even after a predetermined period has elapsed after displaying the initial screen. You may be. Further, when the power-on initial initial command is received while the information that can be specified that the setting can be changed is being notified, the sub-control CPU 50a can specify that the setting can be changed. End the information notification. That is, in the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, the setting change notification ends.

Further, the sub-control CPU 50a performs a power recovery notification when it receives a power-on power recovery designation command. In the power recovery notification, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 are made to emit light in a predetermined light emission pattern, and a sound dedicated to power recovery is output from the speaker SP. The power recovery notification is executed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), and ends when the predetermined time elapses. In the present embodiment, the predetermined light emission patterns of the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 included in the power recovery notification are the same as the predetermined light emission patterns of the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 included in the RWM clear notification. Further, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the power-on / power recovery designation command, the sub-control CPU 50a causes the image display unit GH to display a power recovery combination (power recovery symbol) of a plurality of rows of effect symbols and a power recovery image such as a predetermined background image. .. It can be said that the display contents of the image display unit GH when passing through the RWM clear and when passing through the power recovery are the same in that the combination of the effect symbols is displayed and the background image is displayed. The power recovery combination of the production symbols is a combination that depends on the series of the pachinko gaming machines 10. Further, the sub-control CPU 50a controls the effect game so that it can be executed when the power-on / power recovery designation command is received. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to execute the demo effect when the execution condition of the demo effect is satisfied, such as when the special game is not started even after a predetermined period has elapsed after displaying the power recovery screen. It may have been done. Further, when the power-on initial initial command is received while the information that can be specified that the setting can be confirmed is being notified, the sub-control CPU 50a can specify that the setting can be confirmed. End the information notification. That is, in the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, the setting confirmation notification ends.

Here, the setting change process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the setting change process, the main control CPU 41a transmits a setting change notification command to the sub control CPU 50a of the sub control board 50 (step S201). Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting change notification command, it notifies information that can identify that the setting can be changed (hereinafter referred to as setting change notification). For example, the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 displays an image indicating a character string such as "setting is being changed" as information that can identify that the setting can be changed. For example, in the speaker SP, a dedicated sound is output as information that can identify that the setting can be changed. The dedicated sound constituting the setting change notification is configured by, for example, the voice reading out the character string "setting is being changed" is set as one unit notification, and the unit notification is repeated (looped). For example, in the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, dedicated light emission is performed as information that can identify that the setting can be changed. The dedicated light emission constituting the setting change notification is configured by, for example, the light emission by the dedicated light emission pattern is set as one unit notification, and the unit notification is repeated (looped). The setting change notification may be configured by combining one or two or more of the display effect, the light emission effect, and the sound effect. Further, when the process of step S201 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to display by the setting notification pattern.

When the process of step S201 is completed, the main control CPU 41a displays the set value (step S202). In the process of step S202, the main control CPU 41a reads the current set value stored in the RWM area, and controls the display 45 so as to display the read set value. The setting value displayed here is a setting value that was set when the power was turned off most recently, and is a setting value that is stored and held by the backup function. That is, the display 45 first displays the information that can specify the set value set at that time among the plurality of set values, triggered by the transition to the setting changeable state. In addition, the display 45 can display information that can specify a setting value different from the initial value among a plurality of setting values without the need to operate the setting switch when the setting transition to the changeable state is triggered. It is configured in.

Next, the main control CPU 41a determines whether or not the setting switch has been operated based on whether or not the operation signal has been received from the setting switch (RWM clear switch 42) (step S203). When the setting switch is operated (step S203: YES), the main control CPU 41a changes the currently set setting value (step S204). Here, each time the setting switch is operated, the main control CPU 41a says "... → [setting 1] → [setting 2] → ... → [setting 5] → [setting 6] → [setting 1] → ...". To switch the set value to loop. When switching the set value, the main control CPU 41a sets the information stored in a predetermined area of the RWM area and the information that can specify the set value set at that time after the switch. Rewrite the value to identifiable information.

When the process of step S204 is completed or the setting switch is not operated (step S203: NO), the main control CPU 41a is a setting device based on whether or not an operation signal is received from the setting device 43. It is determined whether 43 is in the off state (step S205). If the setter 43 is not in the off state (step S205: NO), the main control CPU 41a returns to the process of step S202.

Further, when the process of step S207 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to end the display by the setting notification pattern. At this time, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to display the initial special symbol (for example, the out-of-order symbol). Next, the main control CPU 41a turns off the external information output (step S208), ends the setting confirmation process, returns to the power-on process, returns based on the game information, and is in a game-enabled state. In step S208, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, in the case of the setting change process in step S106, the main control CPU 41a satisfies a predetermined period from the start of the output of the security signal in step S105 to the stop of the output of the security signal (output period). If not, the output of the security signal is extended until the predetermined period elapses. Similarly, in the case of the setting change process in step S116, the main control CPU 41a satisfies a predetermined period from the start of the output of the security signal in step S115 to the stop of the output of the security signal (output period). If not, the output of the security signal is extended until the predetermined period elapses.

Next, the setting confirmation process will be described with reference to FIG.
In the setting confirmation process, the main control CPU 41a turns on the external information output (step S301). Specifically, the main control CPU 41a starts outputting a security signal from the external terminal board 70. Subsequently, the main control CPU 41a transmits a setting confirmation notification command to the sub control CPU 50a of the sub control board 50 (step S302). Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting confirmation notification command, it notifies information that can identify that the setting confirmation is in progress (hereinafter referred to as setting confirmation notification). For example, the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11 displays an image indicating a character string such as "setting is being confirmed" as information that can identify that the setting can be confirmed. For example, in the speaker SP, a dedicated sound is output as information that can identify that the setting can be confirmed. The dedicated sound constituting the setting confirmation notification is configured by, for example, the voice reading out the character string "setting confirmation in progress" is set as one unit notification, and the unit notification is repeated (looped). For example, in the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, dedicated light emission is performed as information that can identify that the setting can be confirmed. The dedicated light emission constituting the setting confirmation notification is configured by, for example, the light emission by the dedicated light emission pattern is set as one unit notification, and the unit notification is repeated (looped). The setting confirmation notification may be configured by combining one or two or more of the display effect, the light emission effect, and the sound effect. In the present embodiment, the setting change notification and the setting confirmation notification are different notification modes. Further, when the process of step S302 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to display by the setting notification pattern.

When the process of step S302 is completed, the main control CPU 41a displays the set value (step S303). In the process of step S303, the main control CPU 41a reads the current set value stored in the RWM area, and controls the display 45 so as to display the read set value. The setting values displayed here are the setting values that were set when the power was turned off most recently, as in the case of shifting to the setting changeable state, and the settings that were stored and retained by the backup function. The value. Subsequently, the main control CPU 41a determines whether the setting device 43 is in the off state based on whether or not the operation signal is received from the setting device 43 (step S304). If the setter 43 is not in the off state (step S304: NO), the main control CPU 41a returns to the process of step S303. That is, the main control CPU 41a controls the display device 45 so as to continue the display of notifying the currently set setting value until the setting device 43 is operated to the off state. Even if the setting switch (RWM clear switch 42) is operated here, the main control CPU 41a does not switch the currently set setting value. That is, the main control CPU 41a does not allow the change of the setting information triggered by the operation of the setting switch.

When the setting device 43 is in the off state in step S304 (step S304: YES), the main control CPU 41a sets the device (step S305). In step S305, the main control CPU 41a starts reading the detection result by each of the sensors SE1 to SE6. That is, each of the sensors SE1 to SE6, which has been invalid since the power was turned on, becomes valid. Note that each sensor SE1 to SE6 is invalid even during device setting. Further, when the process of step S305 is performed, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to end the display by the setting notification pattern. At this time, the main control CPU 41a controls the special symbol display units 19a and 19b so as to display the initial special symbol. Subsequently, the main control CPU 41a turns off the external information output (step S306), ends the setting confirmation process, returns to the power-on process, returns based on the game information, and is in a game-enabled state. In step S306, the main control CPU 41a stops the output of the security signal from the external terminal board 70. Here, when the period (output period) from the start of the output of the security signal to the stop of the output of the security signal in step S301 is less than the predetermined period, the main control CPU 41a outputs the security signal. Extend until the period expires.

Next, the first game impossible processing will be described.
In the first game impossible process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so as to display the notification of the setting error. In the first game impossible processing, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so that an information abnormality error is displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so that the character string of [−−E1] is displayed. In the present embodiment, displaying the character string of [−−E1] on the display 45 corresponds to notifying an error in a special mode. Further, in the present embodiment, the fact that the first incapacity processing is performed corresponds to being controlled to an error state. That is, in the present embodiment, it is impossible to play a game in an error state. Further, in the present embodiment, the game disabled state (error state) is set due to the first game disabled process, but the game disabled state cannot be canceled unless the power is turned off.

Further, in the first game impossible processing, the main control CPU 41a transmits a setting error command to the sub control CPU 50a. Incidentally, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting error command, it notifies the information that can identify the setting error (hereinafter, referred to as the setting error notification). For example, in the image display unit GH of the effect display device 11, an image showing a character string such as "Please change the setting" is displayed as information that can identify the setting error. For example, in the speaker SP, a dedicated sound is output as information that can identify the setting error. The dedicated sound constituting the setting error notification is configured by, for example, the voice obtained by reading out the character string "Please change the setting" is set as one unit notification, and the unit notification is repeated (looped). For example, in the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, dedicated light emission is performed as information that can identify the setting error. The dedicated light emission constituting the setting error notification is configured by, for example, the light emission by the dedicated light emission pattern is set as one unit notification, and the unit notification is repeated (looped). The setting error notification may be configured by combining one or two or more of the display effect, the light emission effect, and the sound effect.

Next, the second game impossible processing will be described.
In the second game impossible process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so as to display the notification of the setting error. In the second game impossibility process, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so that a setting change operation error is displayed. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so that the character string of [−−E2] is displayed. In the present embodiment, displaying the character string of [−−E2] on the display 45 corresponds to notifying an error in a specific embodiment. In the present embodiment, the notification of an error by a special aspect and the notification of an error by a specific aspect are different. Further, in the present embodiment, performing the second incapacity processing corresponds to being controlled to an error state. That is, in the present embodiment, it is impossible to play a game in an error state. Further, in the present embodiment, the game disabled state (error state) is set due to the second game disabled process, but the game disabled state cannot be canceled unless the power is turned off.

Further, in the second game impossible processing, the main control CPU 41a transmits a setting error command to the sub control CPU 50a. Incidentally, as described above, when the sub-control CPU 50a receives the setting error command, the sub-control CPU 50a notifies the setting error. In the present embodiment, the display content of the effect display device 11 when the setting error notification is performed when the first game impossible processing is performed, and the setting error notification is performed when the second game impossible processing is performed. The display content of the effect display device 11 at the time of error is the same. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, [-E1] is displayed on the display 45 as the display content of the effect display device 11 when [-E2] is displayed on the display 45. It is different from the display content of the effect display device 11 at the time. That is, in the present embodiment, the display content of the display device when the error is notified in the specific mode in the notification means is the same as the display content of the display device when the error is notified in the special mode in the notification means. be.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normal determination when the power is turned on is not normal, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are turned on when the power is turned on. When at least one of them is not operated, the first incapacity processing is performed in step S107 regardless of whether the opening detection sensor SE7 has detected the opening of the door member. That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, when it is determined that the game information backed up is not normal in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply, the power supply is started. Therefore, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, an error state is not controlled in the setting changeable state regardless of whether the door opening detection means has detected the opening of the door member.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normal determination when the power is turned on is not normal, the open detection sensor SE7 opens the door when the power is turned on. When the release of the member is not detected, the first incapacity processing is performed in step S107 regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated. That is, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, when it is determined that the game information backed up is not normal in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply, the power supply is started. When the door opening detecting means does not detect the opening of the door member, the setting is not controlled to the changeable state but is controlled to the error state regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated. The notification means notifies the error in a special manner. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off, when it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply is not normal, the power supply is started. When at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, and the door open detection means does not detect the opening of the door member, the setting cannot be changed. The error state is controlled, and the notification means notifies the error in a special manner. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, even when the power is turned off when the game is controlled in any of the game enable state, the setting checkable state, and the setting changeable state, after the power is turned off, When it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normal judgment with the power turned on is not normal, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power turned on, and When the opening detection sensor SE7 has not detected the opening of the door member, the first inability to play process is performed in step S107. That is, in the present embodiment, even when the power supply is cut off when the game is controlled, the game available state, the setting confirmable state, or the setting changeable state, after the power supply is cut off. , When it is determined that the game information backed up is not normal in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply, the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated as the power supply is started. When the door opening detecting means does not detect the opening of the door member, the game is controlled to be incapable of playing, and the notification means notifies the error in a special manner.

In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, the power is turned on when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normal judgment accompanying the power on is normal. When at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated and the opening detection sensor SE7 detects the opening of the door member, the second step S117 or step S122 is performed. Incapacity processing is performed. That is, in the present embodiment, at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is started as the power supply is started after the power supply is cut off while the setting can be changed. When it is not operated and the door opening detecting means detects the opening of the door member, the setting is not controlled to the changeable state but is controlled to the error state, and the notification means causes an error in a specific mode. Be notified. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting can be changed, it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply is normal. When the power supply is started, at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, and the door open detection means opens the door member. When it is detected, it is controlled to an error state without being controlled to a setting changeable state, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off while the setting is controlled to be changeable, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normal determination accompanying the power on is normal, When the opening detection sensor SE7 does not detect the opening of the door member when the power is turned on, the second non-gaming process is performed in step S110 regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated. .. That is, in the present embodiment, the door opening detecting means detects the opening of the door member as the power supply is started after the power supply is cut off while the setting is controlled to be changeable. When not, regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated, the setting changeable state is not controlled but the error state is controlled, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode. As described above, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting can be changed, it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply is normal. In this case, when the door opening detecting means does not detect the opening of the door member due to the start of power supply, the setting is performed regardless of whether the initialization operating means and the setting operating means are operated. It is controlled to an error state without being controlled to a changeable state, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode. Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting can be changed, it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply is normal. At that time, when the power supply is started, both the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are being operated, and the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member. When not, the setting is not controlled to the changeable state but is controlled to the error state, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode. Further, in the present embodiment, after the power supply is cut off while the setting is controlled to be changeable, it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination accompanying the start of the power supply is normal. At times, when the power supply is started, at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, and the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door member. When not, the setting is not controlled to the changeable state but is controlled to the error state, and the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the power is turned off when the setting is controllable, the RWM clear switch is switched when the opening detection sensor SE7 detects the opening of the door member when the power is turned on. When at least one of the 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, the game is controlled to be incapable of playing. At this time, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normality determination accompanying the power-on is normal, the character string [-E2] is displayed on the display 45. .. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normality determination accompanying the power-on is not normal, the character string [−−E1] is displayed on the display 45. That is, in the present embodiment, the door opening detecting means detects the opening of the door member as the power supply is started after the power supply is cut off while the setting is controlled to be changeable. Even when it is, when at least one of the initialization operation means and the setting operation means is not operated, it is controlled to be in a non-game state, and it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination is normal. At that time, the notification means notifies the error in a specific mode, while the notification means notifies the error in a special mode when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal in the storage content normality determination.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the power is turned off when the setting is controllable and the power is turned on, the open detection sensor SE7 does not detect the opening of the door member, the RWM clear switch. Regardless of whether the 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the game is controlled to be incapable of playing. At this time, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normality determination accompanying the power-on is normal, the character string [-E2] is displayed on the display 45. .. On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when it is determined that the various information backed up by the backup normality determination accompanying the power-on is not normal, the character string [−−E1] is displayed on the display 45. That is, in the present embodiment, the door opening detecting means detects the opening of the door member as the power supply is started after the power supply is cut off while the setting is controlled to be changeable. When not, the notification means is controlled to be in a non-gaming state regardless of whether the initialization operation means and the setting operation means are operated, and when it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination is normal, the notification means While the error is notified in a specific mode, the notification means notifies the error in a special mode when it is determined that the game information backed up in the storage content normality determination is not normal.

Further, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment determines whether the currently set value is one of all six stages from the first set value to the sixth set value in the power-on process. It may be configured. By making such a determination, it is possible to determine whether or not the numerical value for which the set value can be specified is within an appropriate numerical range. For example, in the main control CPU 41a, in the area where a predetermined numerical value is stored as information that can specify the currently set setting value, all the numerical values actually stored are from the first set value to the sixth set value. It may be configured to determine whether it is a numerical value indicating a set value of any of the six stages. When it is determined that the currently set value is not one of all 6 stages from the 1st set value to the 6th set value, that is, when the numerical value that can specify the set value is not within the appropriate numerical range. , The main control CPU 41a may be configured to perform the first game incapacity processing. Such a determination process of "whether the currently set value is any of all six stages from the first set value to the sixth set value" returns in the power-on process based on the game information. It may be configured to be performed when the setting change process is completed. The case where the numerical value that can specify the set value is not within the appropriate numerical range corresponds to the case where the setting information is not normal.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 may be configured to determine whether or not the third type of gaming information is normal in the power-on processing. By making such a determination, it is possible to determine whether the information regarding the base value is normal. For example, the main control CPU 41a may be configured to determine whether the numerical value as the information necessary for counting the base value is within the range of possible numerical values, or the information necessary for displaying the base value is normal. It may be configured to determine whether or not. If it is determined that the information regarding the base value is not normal, the main control CPU 41a may be configured to initialize the information regarding the base value. Further, after it is determined that the information regarding the base value is not normal in the power-on process, the main control CPU 41a may be configured to perform the first game impossible process or the second game impossible process to make the game impossible state. .. Further, after it is determined that the information regarding the base value is not normal in the power-on processing, the main control CPU 41a may continue the subsequent processing without making the game inoperable state when the information regarding the base value is not normal. .. For example, in the case where the determination process of "whether the third type of game information is normal" is performed before the process of step S101, it is determined that the third type of game information is not normal in the determination process, and the third type is determined. After the game information of the seed is initialized, the processing after step S101 may be continuously performed. Such a determination process of "whether the third type of game information is normal" may be configured to be performed when returning based on the game information in the power-on process, or the process of step S101. It may be configured to be done before. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, for example, when the type 1 game information and the type 2 game information are initialized in the power-on process, and when the information regarding the base value is also initialized, the type 1 game information. , The second type of game information and the third type of game information will be initialized. Similarly, in the present embodiment, for example, when the game information of the second type among the game information of the first type and the game information of the second type is initialized in the power-on processing, the information regarding the base value is also initialized. At that time, the second type of game information and the third type of game information among the first type of game information, the second type of game information, and the third type of game information will be initialized.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 41a that executes the power-on processing shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 sets any setting information among a plurality of setting information that defines the degree of advantage regarding the special game. It realizes the function as a setting control means configured to enable setting control. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control CPU 41a that executes the first initialization process and the second initialization process is configured to enable initialization control that initializes at least a part of the backed up game information. Realize the function as a control means. Incidentally, when the third type of game information is initialized, it can be said that the control for initializing the third type of game information is also a kind of initialization control for initializing at least a part of the backed up game information. ..

Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a procedure and a flow of control when an administrator of a game field or the like only confirms without changing the set value will be described. In the following description, the effect display device 11, the speaker SP, and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 may be collectively referred to as a “notifying device”.

At the time point X10 shown in FIG. 12, it is assumed that the power of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is not turned on after the power is turned off while the game is controlled to be playable. At the time point X10, since the power is not turned on, the sensors SE1 to SE7, the RWM clear switch 42, and the setting device 43 are not operating. At the time point X10, the display 45 is hidden, no external signal is output from the external terminal board 70, no error notification is performed by the notification device, and the main control CPU 41a is not activated.

First, the manager of the amusement park unlocks the locking device SS using the frame key, opens the mounting frame (middle frame WN and front frame WM), and turns on the setting device 43 using the setting key. (Time point X11). Next, the manager of the amusement park operates the power switch 60a in the on state (power ON) while the RWM clear switch 42 is not operated in the on state (off state), and the pachinko game machine 10 is operated. Power on (time point X12). At this time, the setting device 43 is maintained in the ON state. During the special period from the time point X12 to the time point X13, the main control CPU 41a executes a boot process (boot process) (indicated as booting in FIG. 12), and rises to a state in which various processes can be executed. In the period from the time point X13 to the time point X14, the main control CPU 41a reads the detection result of the switch related to the setting control state. The switches related to the setting control state are, for example, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43.

At time point X14, the main control CPU 41a starts the power-on process. At the time point X14, the door member of the main control CPU 41a is open (indicated as door open ON in FIG. 12), the RWM clear switch 42 is in the off state, and the setter 43 is in the on state. The settings can be confirmed. After the lapse of the time point X14, the main control CPU 41a does not perform various processes based on whether or not the operation state of the RWM clear switch 42 is on, as shown in the figure as “no input”.

Next, the manager of the amusement park operates the setting device 43 in the off state by using the setting key (time point X15). At the time point X15, the main control CPU 41a ends the setting confirmable state because the operation state of the setting device 43 is switched to the off state. Then, in the period from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a performs a process for ending the setting confirmation possible state and making the game possible state, as shown in the figure as "setting confirmation is being completed", and the game is played. Make it possible. In the present embodiment, when the setting can be confirmed, the main control CPU 41a does not, in principle, initialize the RWM area from the time the power is turned on until the game is enabled.

During the period from the time point X12 to the time point X16 (that is, the period from when the power is turned on until the game becomes playable), the main control CPU 41a does not control not only the control related to the display of the base value but also the control related to the counting of the base value. .. That is, the main control CPU 41a does not count the base value when the setting can be confirmed. At the time point X16, since the setting confirmation state has ended, the main control CPU 41a relates to various processes related to the progress of the game, control related to counting of the base value, and display of the base value, based on various backed up information. Control and start. Specifically, the main control CPU 41a restarts the counting of the base value and restarts the control of displaying the base value based on various information stored and held by the backup function. Therefore, the display of the base value displayed when the power supply is stopped is restored to the display 45. That is, when the power is turned on, the display content of the display 45 returns to the display content when the power is turned off. After that, as the game progresses with the launch of the game ball, the base value is counted accordingly.

During the period up to the time point X14, the display 45 is turned off as shown in the figure as "display turned off". In the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16, the display 45 displays to notify the set value set at that time point. Therefore, the manager of the game hall can recognize the set value set in the pachinko game machine 10 by visually recognizing the display content of the display 45 on the back side of the game board YB. The display 45 maintains the display of the set value even if the door member is closed while the setting can be confirmed (that is, the setting device 43 is not operated in the off state). In the period after the time point X16, the display 45 constantly (continuously) displays the base value and the identifier while switching between the display of the first base value and the display of the second base value. Therefore, the manager of the game hall can recognize the base value by visually recognizing the display content of the display 45 on the back side of the game board YB.

No external signal is output from the external terminal board 70 during the period up to the time point X14. A security signal is output from the external terminal board 70 during the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15. In the present embodiment, the output period of the security signal is the longer of the period in which the setting can be confirmed and the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms). That is, when the set value is displayed, a security signal is output. Therefore, even if the manager of the amusement park is not a person who directly maintains the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is easy to be in a state where the setting can be confirmed or a state where the setting can be changed by using the hall computer. Can be inferred to. When an error is detected in the external terminal board 70 during the period after the time point X16, an external signal corresponding to the detected error is output.

During the period up to the time point X14, the notification device does not perform any notification. During the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16, the notification device performs setting confirmation notification. In the present embodiment, the execution period of the setting confirmation notification is the longer of the period in which the setting can be confirmed and the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms). Therefore, the manager of the game hall can grasp from the notification content of the notification device that the setting can be confirmed without looking into the back side of the game board YB. For example, the time required for one unit notification constituting the setting confirmation notification is 1 second. Generally, it takes several minutes for the administrator to confirm the settings, so the length of the period for performing the setting confirmation notification is the period during which the unit notification for the setting confirmation notification can be performed at least twice. be.

In the period after the time point X16, when an error is detected, the notification device performs notification according to the detected error. Further, the notification device of the present embodiment is also used as a production device that executes various effects (game effects) related to the game. Therefore, if no error is detected, the notification device (effect device) performs a game effect related to the special game or the jackpot game in the period after the time point X16. At the time point X16, the effect display device 11 displays the initial screen.

During the period up to the time point X14, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b are turned off without any information being notified. During the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b display by the setting notification pattern as shown in the figure as "display during setting confirmation". Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a state where the setting can be confirmed or can be changed by visually recognizing the special symbol display units 19a and 19b without looking into the back side of the gaming board YB. Can be grasped. During the period from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b are turned off again. In the period after the time point X16, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b are in a state where the special game can be displayed without displaying the setting notification pattern. At the time point X16, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b display the initial special symbol.

In the period up to the time point X13, the main control CPU 41a itself has not started up in the sensors SE1 to SE7, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 (hereinafter, may be collectively referred to as "switches"), and the detection result thereof. Is not read by the main control CPU 41a. When the main control CPU 41a reads the detection results of the switches, the detection signal is received in the area of the RWM area associated with each switch, depending on whether or not the detection signal is received from each switch. It means to store information that can identify the presence or absence. The invalidity of the switches means that the detection result is not read, and the validity of the switches means that the detection result is read. In the situation where the switches are invalid, it can be assumed that the switches are not operating in the first place, or the switches are operating but the main control CPU 41a does not read the detection result. Therefore, all the switches in the period up to the time point X13 are invalid as shown in the figure as "all switches are invalid". During the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, the sensors SE1 to SE6 of the switches are invalid because the detection result is not read by the main control CPU 41a. That is, when the setting is controlled to the confirmable state, the switches other than the switch related to the setting control state and the switch related to the invalidity are invalid. On the other hand, in the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, the openness detection sensor SE7, the RWM clear switch 42, and the setting device 43 among the switches are effective because the detection result is read by the main control CPU 41a. That is, the switch related to the setting control state is effective when the setting is controlled to the confirmable state. Further, in the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, the magnetic sensor, the radio wave sensor, and the vibration sensor among the switches are effective because the detection results are read by the main control CPU 41a. In the period after the time point X16, all the switches are valid as shown in the figure as "all switches are valid". That is, at least each sensor SE1 to SE6 is valid when the base value is displayed. Further, in the period from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the sensors SE1 to SE6 remain invalid.

In the period after the time point X14, the detection result of the RWM clear switch 42 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes as shown in the figure as “no input required”. That is, during the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the main control CPU 41a does not initialize the RWM area and does not change the set value even if the RWM clear switch 42 is operated. Further, in the period after the time point X15, even if the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, the main control CPU 41a does not initialize the RWM area, does not change the set value, and displays the set value. Also do not do. Further, in the period after the time point X16, the operation result of the setter 43 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes as shown in the figure as "no input required". That is, in the period after the time point X16 (after the end of the setting confirmable state, that is, when the base value is displayed), the main control CPU 41a does not shift to the setting control state even if the setting device 43 is operated, and , The set value is not displayed.

Then, the manager of the amusement park closes the door member after confirming the set value (time point X17). At the time point X17, the main control CPU 41a does not perform initialization notification because the RWM area has not been initialized. That is, at the time point X17, the notification device does not perform initialization notification. At the time point X17, the external terminal board 70 does not output a security signal. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the security signal is output if the setting can be confirmed, but the security signal is not re-output when the setting confirmation is completed, and the output of the security signal is extended. Not done. On the other hand, at the time point X17, the main control CPU 41a causes the power recovery notification. In this way, after the setting can be confirmed and the game becomes playable at the time point X16, the power recovery notification is performed when the door member is closed (time point X17).

Next, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a procedure and a flow of control when an administrator of a game hall or the like changes and confirms a set value will be described. In the following description, only the points different from the setting confirmation state will be described in detail, and the detailed description of the common points will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 13, first, the manager of the amusement park unlocks the lock device SS by using the frame key managed by himself, opens the door member, and uses the setting key to set the setting device 43. Operate in the on state (time point X11). Next, the manager of the game hall operates the power switch 60a in the ON state (power ON) while the RWM clear switch 42 is operated in the ON state, and turns on the power of the pachinko game machine 10 (time point X12). ). The main control CPU 41a executes the startup process from the time point X12 to the time point X13, and reads the detection results of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 at the time point X13 to the time point X14. At time point X14, the main control CPU 41a executes a power-on process. At the time point X14, the main control CPU 41a is in a state where the setting can be changed because the RWM clear switch 42 is in the ON state and the setter 43 is in the ON state.

During the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the main control CPU 41a changes the currently set value to the next set value every time the operation signal (detection signal) is input from the RWM clear switch 42. During the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the main control CPU 41a controls the display 45 so as to display the set value currently set. That is, from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the display 45 displays the backed up setting value before the operation of the setting switch, and changes after each operation of the setting switch after the operation of the setting switch. Display the set value. The display 45 maintains the display of the set value even if the door member is closed while the setting can be changed (that is, the setting device 43 is not operated in the off state).

Next, the manager of the amusement park operates the setting device 43 in the off state by using the setting key (time point X15). At the time point X15, the main control CPU 41a ends the setting changeable state because the operation state of the setting device 43 is switched to the off state. That is, the set value is fixed at the time point X15. Then, in the period from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a performs a process for ending the setting changeable state and making the game possible state as shown in the figure as "setting change is being completed", and the game is played. Make it possible. In the present embodiment, when the setting can be changed, the main control CPU 41a initializes the RWM area between the time when the power is turned on and the time when the game is enabled.

During the period from the time point X12 to the time point X16, the main control CPU 41a does not control not only the control related to the display of the base value but also the control related to the counting of the base value. That is, the main control CPU 41a does not count the base value when the setting change state is possible. At the time point X16, since the setting changeable state has ended, the main control CPU 41a has a base value based on various processes related to the progress of the game based on the initialized game information and various backed up information. Start control of counting and control of display of base value. At this time, the main control CPU 41a does not care whether or not the set value is actually changed and set in the current setting changeable state. That is, the main control CPU 41a is backed up with various information regardless of whether the set value is changed and set or the set value is changed and not set in the current setting changeable state. Based on, the control regarding the counting of the base value and the control regarding the display of the base value are started. Therefore, the display content of the display 45 returns to the display content when the power is turned off regardless of whether or not the setting is changed.

In the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16, the display 45 displays to notify the set value set at that time point. Therefore, the manager of the game hall can recognize the set value (including after the change) set in the pachinko gaming machine 10 by visually recognizing the display content of the display 45 on the back side of the game board YB. In the period after the time point X16, the display 45 constantly (continuously) displays the base value and the identifier while switching between the display of the first base value and the display of the second base value. Therefore, the manager of the game hall can recognize the base value by visually recognizing the display content of the display 45 on the back side of the game board YB.

A security signal is output from the external terminal board 70 during the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16. That is, when the set value is displayed, a security signal is output. Therefore, even if the manager of the game hall is not the person who directly maintains the pachinko game machine 10, the pachinko game machine 10 can be set in a state where the setting can be confirmed or can be changed by using the hall computer. It can be easily inferred that there is.

During the period from the time point X14 to the time point X16, the notification device performs setting change notification. In the present embodiment, the execution period of the setting change notification is the longer of the period in which the setting can be changed and the predetermined period (for example, 50 ms). Therefore, the manager of the game hall can grasp from the notification content of the notification device that the setting can be changed without looking into the back side of the game board YB. For example, the time required for one unit notification constituting the setting change notification is one second. Generally, it takes several minutes for the administrator to change the setting, so the length of the setting change notification period (specific period) is such that the unit notification of the setting change notification can be performed at least twice. It is a period.

During the period from the time point X14 to the time point X15, the special symbol display units 19a and 19b display by the setting notification pattern as shown in the figure as "display during setting change". Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a state where the setting can be confirmed or can be changed by visually recognizing the special symbol display units 19a and 19b without looking into the back side of the game board YB. Can be recognized.

Then, the manager of the amusement park closes the door member when the setting change is completed (time point X17). At the time point X17, the main control CPU 41a causes the initialization notification to be performed because the RWM area has been initialized. At the time point X17, the notification device performs initialization notification for a predetermined period (for example, 30s). At time point X17, a security signal is output from the external terminal board 70. That is, after switching to the display of information about the base value, the same external signal as when controlled to the setting control state is output. In this way, after the setting can be changed and the game becomes playable at the time point X16, the initialization notification is performed when the door member is closed (time point X17).

In the period up to the time point X13 (including the special period), all the switches are invalid as shown in the figure as "all switches are invalid". In the period from the time point X13 to the time point X16, the sensors SE1 to SE6 among the switches are invalid, while the open detection sensor SE7, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 among the switches are valid. In the period after the time point X16, all the switches are valid as shown in the figure as "all switches are valid". Further, during the period during which the transition process is performed from the time point X15 to the time point X16, the sensors SE1 to SE6 remain invalid.

In the period after the time point X15, the detection result of the RWM clear switch 42 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes as shown in the figure as “no input required”. That is, in the period after the time point X15, even if the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, the main control CPU 41a does not initialize the RWM, does not change the set value, and displays the set value. Not performed. Further, in the period after the time point X16, the operation result of the setter 43 is not referred to by the main control CPU 41a and is not used for various processes as shown in the figure as "no input required". That is, in the period after the time point X16 (after the end of the setting changeable state, that is, when the base value is displayed), the main control CPU 41a shifts to the setting control state even if the setting device 43 is operated to the on state. Moreover, the set value is not displayed.

Hereinafter, according to FIGS. 14 (a) to 14 (d), among the various notifications executed by the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the notification of the setting control state, the notification of the RWM clear, and the notification of the power recovery are described. It will be explained together with its action.

As shown in FIG. 14A, in the setting changeable state, a setting change notification consisting of a sound notification, a light notification, and a display notification is executed, and the sound, light, and display notifications are all executed. The specifications are such that the settings can be changed. Specifically, it is executed by notification by a dedicated sound, notification by a dedicated light emission pattern, and notification by a dedicated display consisting of a character image of "setting is being changed" as shown in FIG. 14 (c). On the other hand, in the setting confirmable state, the setting confirmation notification consisting of the sound notification, the light notification, and the display notification is executed as in the setting changeable state, and the sound, light, and display notifications are all performed. The specifications are such that the settings can be confirmed. Specifically, it is executed by notification by a dedicated sound, notification by a dedicated light emission pattern, and notification by a dedicated display consisting of a character image of "setting is being confirmed" as shown in FIG. 14 (d).

As described above, in the setting changeable state and the setting confirmation state, the notification is executed using the same means such as the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11, but the setting can be changed. The content of the notification is different depending on whether the setting can be confirmed. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the setting can be changed or the setting can be confirmed, the notification is executed so that the types of the setting control state can be distinguished. Further, each of the setting change notification and the setting confirmation notification includes a notification by the effect display device 11 and a notification by the speaker SP. Then, in the setting change notification, the effect display device 11 executes the notification of "setting is being changed", while the speaker SP outputs the dedicated sound at the time of the setting change notification, so that the effect display device 11 and the speaker SP are related. Is notified. The dedicated sound for the setting change notification is a voice that reads out the character string of "setting is being changed", and is related to the character string of "setting is being changed" displayed on the effect display device 11. Further, in the setting confirmation notification, the effect display device 11 executes the notification of "setting confirmation in progress", while the speaker SP outputs the dedicated sound at the time of the setting confirmation notification. Therefore, the effect display device 11 and the speaker SP Related notifications are made. The dedicated sound for the setting confirmation notification is a voice that reads out the character string of "setting is being confirmed", and is related to the character string of "setting is being confirmed" displayed on the effect display device 11.

As shown in FIG. 14B, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the backed up game information is initialized (RWM cleared) and becomes a game-enabled state, it is initialized and becomes a game-enabled state. The RWM clear notification can be executed as the initialization notification that can identify the fact. The RWM clear notification consists of sound notification, light notification, and display notification. Both sound and light notification are specified as RWM clear notification, and a normal screen is displayed for display notification. NS. Specifically, the notification by the dedicated sound, the notification by the dedicated light emission pattern, and the notification by the image of the initial combination of the effect symbols (for example, [123]) and the background image as the normal screen are executed.

On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the backed up game information is in a game-enabled state without being initialized, a power recovery notification is provided as a non-initialization notification that can identify the transition without being initialized. Is feasible. The power recovery notification consists of a sound notification, a light notification, and a display notification. The sound notification has the specifications of the power recovery notification, and the optical notification has the specifications of the RWM clear notification. Further, in the notification of the display, a normal screen is displayed. Specifically, the notification by the dedicated sound, the notification by the dedicated light emission pattern, and the notification by the image of the power recovery combination of the effect symbol (for example, [456]) and the background image as the normal screen are executed.

Then, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the RWM clear notification is executed when the game becomes available after the setting changeable state, and the RWM clear notification executed at this time is the game without going through the setting changeable state. The same notification as the RWM clear notification is executed when the possible state is reached. Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the power recovery notification is executed when the game becomes playable after the setting can be confirmed, and the power recovery notification executed at this time can be played without going through the setting confirmation state. The same notification as the power recovery notification when the state is reached is executed.

Further, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are different from the notification by sound and the notification by display, but the notification by light is the same. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the RWM clear notification is executed after the end of the setting control state, it can be recognized from the contents of the RWM clear notification that the setting changeable state of the setting control state has ended. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the power recovery notification is executed after the setting control state ends, it can be recognized from the contents of the power recovery notification that the setting confirmable state of the setting control state has ended. It should be noted that the notification by the display in the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification can be regarded as the same notification only in consideration of the combination of the effect symbols and the display of the background image, but the production at the time of RWM clear and the power recovery It can be regarded as a different notification if the combination of symbols is taken into consideration.

Further, as described above, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification that can identify that the game is ready for play are notified depending on whether the setting can be changed or the setting can be confirmed. Is different. Since the RWM clear and the power recovery notification in the present embodiment are both executed by each notification by sound, light, and display, it can be said that the means for executing the notification is the same, but the notification contents of some means are different. As a result, the notification modes as RWM clear notification and power recovery notification will be different. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, these RWM clear notifications and power recovery notifications are executed with priority over the door opening notification that can identify that the door member is open. When the notification mode is different, the type of means for performing notification may be different.

Further, the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that notify the setting change in the setting changeable state can notify the content of the notification from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 even when the door member is closed. It is a identifiable means. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it can be recognized from the notification contents of the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that notify the setting change, but the setting information can be recognized. Cannot be recognized until has been changed. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can recognize that the setting information has been changed from the notification content of the display 45 that can specify the notification content when the door member is open.

Further, the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that perform the setting confirmation notification in the setting confirmation state can transmit the notification content from the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 10 even when the door member is closed. It is a identifiable means. However, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it can be recognized from the notification contents of the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11 that perform the setting confirmation notification, but at that time, the setting can be confirmed. The setting information set in is not recognizable. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment can recognize the setting information set at that time from the notification content of the display 45 that can specify the notification content when the door member is open.

Next, according to FIGS. 15 (a) to 15 (c), the display contents of the display 45 and the display contents of the effect display device 11 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment becomes inoperable. It will be explained together with the action.

As shown in FIG. 15A, when the first game impossible process is performed and the game is disabled, the character string [−−E1] is displayed on the display 45, and an error occurs on the display 45. Is notified. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the character string [−−E1] is displayed on the display 45 and the error is notified is as follows. As shown in FIG. 6, the first situation is that when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal in the determination of whether the backed up game information is normal, the power is turned on. At least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, and the door member is open. The second situation is that when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal in the determination of whether the backed up game information is normal when the power is turned on, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are used when the power is turned on. Regardless of the operation of 43, the door member is not opened.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the second game incapacity process is performed and the game becomes inoperable, the character string of [−−E2] is displayed on the display 45, and the display 45 displays the character string. Error is notified. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the situation in which the character string [−−E2] is displayed on the display 45 and the error is notified is as follows. As shown in FIG. 6, in the first situation, after the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is turned on as the power is turned on. It is a situation where the door member is open even when it is not operated. The second situation is that the door member is opened regardless of the operation of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while the setting is controlled to be changeable. There is no situation. In these situations, it is premised that the backed up game information is determined to be normal in the determination of whether the backed up game information accompanying the power-on is normal.

As described above, the display content of the display 45 is different between the case where the first game impossible process is performed and the game is disabled and the case where the second game disabled process is performed and the game is disabled. Therefore, when the game becomes impossible, by checking the display contents of the display 45, it is possible to guess to some extent under what circumstances the game becomes impossible.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15C, "Please change the setting" on the effect display device 11 regardless of whether the first game impossible process or the second game impossible process is performed. The character image of is displayed. The text image of "Please change the settings" contains the content to notify that it is recommended to make the settings changeable. In addition, the text image of "Please change the setting" informs that the door member is open and it is recommended to operate both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 to turn on the power. It can be said that it is included.

In this way, the display content of the effect display device 11 is the same between the case where the first game impossible process is performed and the game is disabled and the case where the second game disabled process is performed and the game is disabled. be. Therefore, when the game is disabled, it is not possible to specify from the display content of the effect display device 11 under what circumstances the game is disabled. On the other hand, the effect display device 11 displays the character image of "Please change the setting" to make the setting changeable state, and to make the setting changeable state, "the door member is opened". Then, at least one of the actions of "operating the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 to turn on the power" can be recognized.

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the game is disabled, the cause of the disabled state can be inferred from the display content of the display 45, and the game is disabled from the display content of the effect display device 11. It is possible to recognize the method for resolving the condition.

Hereinafter, the effects of this embodiment will be described.
(1) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. However, in the pachinko gaming machine configured in this way, the set value can be changed even if the RWM clear switch 42 (initialization operation means) and the setting device 43 (setting operation means) are operated. For example, it is conceivable that the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 may be illegally operated to change the set value without opening the door member. Therefore, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the door can be changed so that the setting can be changed only when the opening of the door member is detected. It is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud.

(2) In the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the setting cannot be changed and the game can be played. In this way, in the situation where the opening of the door member is not detected, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the game becomes playable, so that the door member is not limited to fraudulent activity, for example. Even if something is caught in the door and the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the game can be played. Then, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the game cannot be played even though the game is not fraudulent, and further, it is possible to suppress the misunderstanding that the gaming machine has failed due to such a situation.

(3) When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power turned on after the power is turned off when the game is in the playable state, the backup is performed regardless of whether the door member is open. Among the game information, the second type of game information is initialized. In this way, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the backed up game information is initialized regardless of the opening of the door member, while the setting changeable state is the door member. Depending on the opening of, the setting may be changed or the setting may not be changed. As described above, in the situation where the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the game is available, the specifications or design of the gaming machine can be changed by providing a part that considers whether or not the door member is open and a part that does not consider it. Etc. can be easily performed.

(4) By making it possible to set any of a plurality of set values (setting information), it is possible to change the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, in a pachinko gaming machine that can suppress such a decline in interest, the set value being set when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated when the power is turned on. The setting that can be confirmed can be confirmed. As a result, when the setting can be confirmed, the setting value being set can be confirmed. However, in a pachinko gaming machine that can be in such a setting checkable state, the set value being set can be confirmed even if only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated. For example, it is conceivable that the setting device 43 may be operated illegally and the set value being set may be confirmed without opening the door member. Therefore, even if only the setting device 43 is operated when the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the game is in the playable state, only when the opening of the door member is detected. By configuring the setting so that the setting can be confirmed, it is possible to prevent the setting device 43 from being operated without opening the door member to be in the setting confirmation state. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress confirmation of the set value being set due to fraud.

(5) In a situation where the opening of the door member is not detected due to the power being turned on after the power is turned off while the game is available, only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated. If it is set, the setting cannot be confirmed and the game can be played. In this way, in a situation where the opening of the door member is not detected when the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the game is in the playable state, even if the setting device 43 is operated, the game is in the playable state. By doing so, it is possible to play a game not only in a fraudulent act but also in a situation where, for example, something is caught in a door member and only the setting device 43 is operated, and the fraudulent act is performed. It is possible to suppress a situation in which the game cannot be played even though there is no such situation, and further, it is possible to suppress the misunderstanding that the gaming machine has failed due to such a situation.

(6) Is the door member open when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated when the power is turned on after the power is turned off while the game is in the playable state? Regardless of the above, neither the first type of game information nor the second type of game information of the backed up game information is initialized. In this way, when only the setting device 43 is operated, the backed up game information is not initialized regardless of the opening of the door member, while the setting confirmable state is according to the opening of the door member. , The setting can be confirmed or the setting cannot be changed. As described above, in the situation where the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the game is available, the specifications or design of the gaming machine can be changed by providing a part that considers whether or not the door member is open and a part that does not consider it. Etc. can be easily performed.

(7) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the door member Only when the opening is detected, the setting can be changed again. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. Further, in a situation where the opening of the door member is not detected even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed. , Made it impossible to play a game. For example, if the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, it is possible that the set value is not set normally. Therefore, when the game becomes incapable of playing, it is possible to urge the user to set a new set value.

(8) After the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on, and the door member is open. At this time, among the game information, the first type of game information is not initialized, and the second type of game information is initialized. That is, among the game information, the first type of game information is not initialized, while the second type of game information is initialized. In this way, by initializing not all but a part of the game information, the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, and then the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on. In addition, in a situation where the door member is open, it is possible to distinguish between the game information that should be initialized and the game information that should not be initialized, and recover from the power-on.

(9) After the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power turned on, and the door member is not opened. At this time, neither the first type of game information nor the second type of game information is initialized. For example, when the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power turned on, and the door member is not opened. , It becomes impossible to play. In this way, since it is not necessary to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, it is possible to prevent the first type game information and the second type game information from being initialized. , The control for initializing the first type of game information and the second type of game information can be omitted, and the processing load can be reduced.

(10) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, regardless of whether the power is turned off in the game-enabled state or the setting changeable state, when the power is turned on, both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, and , When the door member is open, the setting can be changed. Therefore, regardless of whether the game is playable or the setting can be changed when the power is turned off, the setting can be changed by opening the door member and operating both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43. be able to. On the other hand, after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated and the door member is opened as the power is turned on. When it is set, the setting cannot be changed and the game cannot be played. For example, if the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, it is possible that the set value is not set normally. Therefore, the power is turned on when the door member is open, and there is a possibility that at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated and the setting cannot be changed due to the power being turned on. In that case, it is possible to urge the user to set a new set value by disabling the game.

(11) After the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on, and the door member is open. At this time, among the game information, the first type of game information is not initialized, and the second type of game information is initialized. That is, among the game information, the first type of game information is not initialized, while the second type of game information is initialized. In this way, by initializing not all but a part of the game information, the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, and then the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on. In addition, in a situation where the door member is open, it is possible to distinguish between the game information that should be initialized and the game information that should not be initialized, and recover from the power-on.

(12) Even when the power is turned on when the door member is open after the power is turned off when the game is available, depending on the combination of whether or not the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated. In some cases, it returns to the playable state, and in other cases, it becomes a setting confirmable state or a setting changeable state. Therefore, it can be branched into various states by two kinds of operation means. In addition, by configuring the setting so that it can be confirmed, it is possible to confirm the setting value being set.

(13) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine.

In such a pachinko gaming machine, when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal after the power is turned off. Moreover, the setting can be changed only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal, "when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated by turning on the power. Moreover, in "when the door member is open" and "when the door member is not open due to the power being turned on", the error is notified in the same special mode. Therefore, for example, by changing the mode of notifying the error, it is possible to suppress the misunderstanding that a different event is being notified.

(34) After the power is turned off, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal, "at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 operates when the power is turned on. In the case of "when the door member is not opened and the door member is not opened" and "when the door member is not opened due to the power being turned on", an error state is generated and the first type of game information is obtained. And neither of the second type of game information is initialized. For example, in a situation where an error occurs, it is not necessary to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, so that the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. By not doing so, it is possible to omit the control for initializing the first-class game information and the second-class game information, and it is possible to reduce the processing load.

(35) When the power is turned off while the setting value can be changed and the game information backed up by turning on the power is determined to be normal, the setting value can be changed. Even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the setting can be changed only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. In addition, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is normal after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, "RWM clear switch 42 and setting by turning on the power". An error state occurs when at least one of the vessels 43 is not operated and the door member is open "and" when the door member is not opened due to the power being turned on ". , The error is notified in a specific mode. For example, if the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, it is possible that the set value is not set normally. Therefore, it is possible to urge the setting value to be set again by setting the error state and notifying the error in a specific mode. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is normal after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, "RWM clear switch 42 and setting by turning on the power". When at least one of the vessels 43 is not operated and the door member is open "and" when the door member is not opened due to the power being turned on ", an error occurs in the same specific mode. Be notified. Therefore, for example, by changing the mode of notifying the error, it is possible to suppress the misunderstanding that a different event is being notified. Further, since the error is notified in a specific mode different from the special mode, it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is normal depending on whether the error mode is the special mode or the specific mode. It is possible to identify the error.

(36) The display content of the effect display device 11 (display device) is the same regardless of whether the error is notified in the specific mode or the error is notified in the special mode. I did it. Therefore, it is not possible to specify from the display contents of the effect display device 11 whether or not the backed up game information is determined to be normal, so that the error notified by the display 45 (notification means) is specified. It is necessary to confirm whether it is an aspect or a special aspect. As a result, when an error state occurs, it is possible to effectively promote confirmation of the mode of the error on the display 45.

(37) By making it possible to set any of a plurality of set values (setting information), it is possible to change the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, in a pachinko gaming machine that can suppress such a decline in interest, the RWM clear switch 42 and the RWM clear switch 42 and the like are used after the power is turned off when the game is available or the setting can be confirmed. When only the setting device 43 of the setting devices 43 is being operated, the setting can be confirmed. As a result, when the setting can be confirmed, the setting value being set can be confirmed. On the other hand, after the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, the setting can be confirmed even if only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated when the power is turned on. Instead, it is now in an incapable state where it is impossible to play a game. For example, if the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, it is possible that the set value is not set normally. Therefore, after the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, even if only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated as the power is turned on, the game cannot be played. By doing so, it is possible to urge the user to set a new setting value.

(38) Regardless of which of the game available state, the setting confirmable state, and the setting changeable state, the power is turned off, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power being turned on thereafter. However, the setting can be changed only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud.

(39) Regardless of whether the power is turned off in any of the playable state, the setting confirmable state, and the setting changeable state, the door member is opened when the power is turned on after the power is turned off. When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the game information of the first type and the game information of the second type among the game information of the second type are initialized. On the other hand, when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated, neither the first type of game information nor the second type of game information is initialized. In this way, when both the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, and when only the setting device 43 is operated, the second type of the first type game information and the second type game information By differentiating whether or not the game information is initialized, it is possible to select the initialization of the second type of game information by operating the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43.

(40) By making the set value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the door member is It is configured so that the setting can be changed again only when it is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. Further, after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the door member is not opened due to the power being turned on, and even if the door member is opened, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are used. In the situation where at least one of them is not operated, the game cannot be played. For example, if the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, it is possible that the set value is not set normally. Therefore, regardless of whether the door member is open or not, by controlling the game in an incapable state, it is possible to urge the user to set a new set value.

(41) After the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, the RWM is "when the door member is not opened" or "even when the door member is open" when the power is turned on. When at least one of the clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, the game cannot be played. At this time, when the backed up game information is normal, the error is notified in a specific mode, while when the backed up game information is not normal, the error is notified in a special mode. As a result, even if the power is turned off when the setting can be changed and then the game cannot be played after the power is turned on, the power is supplied depending on whether the error mode is a special mode or a specific mode. It is possible to specify whether or not the game information backed up with the input is determined to be normal.

(42) After the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the setting can be changed when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated and the door member is open when the power is turned on. Even when it becomes, when it is determined that the backed up game information is normal, the second type of game information among the first type of game information and the second type of game information is initialized. On the other hand, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, both the first type game information and the second type game information are initialized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from returning based on the abnormal game information and the game being performed based on the abnormal game information.

(43) By making the set value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, after the power is turned off, when the setting device 43 is operated in addition to the RWM clear switch 42 when the power is turned on, and the backed up game information is not normal. When it is determined that the door member is open, the setting can be changed only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. Further, if the setting device 43 is not operated in addition to the RWM clear switch 42, the door member is opened when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal after the power is turned off. Even when it is, the setting cannot be changed. Therefore, for example, it is possible to improve the security for making the setting changeable state as compared with the case where the setting can be changed even if only one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated. ..

(44) When it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal after the power is turned off, and when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated by turning on the power. And when the door member is open, both the first type of game information and the second type of game information are initialized. In this way, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, both the first type game information and the second type game information may be initialized so as to be initialized. It is possible to return based on the set value set again in the setting changeable state without being affected by the backed up type 1 game information and the type 2 game information. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal after the power is turned off, "only the RWM clear switch 42 among the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43" is turned on. When is being operated and the door member is open "and" when the door member is not open ", the game becomes incapable of playing the game, and the first type of game Neither the information nor the second game information is initialized. In this way, when the game becomes incapable of playing, there is no need to initialize the first type game information and the second type game information, and the first type game information and the second type game information are not initialized. By doing so, it is possible to omit the control for initializing the first-class game information and the second-class game information, and it is possible to reduce the processing load.

(45) By making the setting value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is normal after the power is turned off when the setting can be changed, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are turned on by turning on the power. When at least one of 43 is not operated and the door member is open, an error state occurs and an error is notified in a specific mode. For example, if the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, it is possible that the set value is not set normally. Therefore, it is possible to urge the setting value to be set again by setting the error state and notifying the error in a specific mode. Further, when it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal after the power is turned off, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated by turning on the power. When there is no such thing and when the door member is open, an error state occurs and the error is notified in a special manner. When it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, it is considered that the backed up game information is being rewritten illegally or that the fraudulent activity affects the backed up game information. Therefore, it is possible to urge the setting value to be set again by setting the error state and notifying the error in a special mode. Further, when the power is turned on, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, and when the door member is open, the backed up game information is normal. When it is determined that the error is reported in a specific mode, the error is notified in a special mode when it is determined that the error is not normal. Thereby, it is possible to specify whether the backed up game information is determined to be normal depending on whether the mode of the error is a special mode or a specific mode.

(46) By making the set value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, the setting can be changed only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. Further, after the power is turned off when the game is available, when the power is turned on and only the RWM clear switch 42 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated, is the door member open? Regardless of this, the game is ready for play without the setting being changeable. In this way, even if the door member is open, the setting cannot be changed when only the RWM clear switch 42 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated. Therefore, the setting can be changed. In addition to the RWM clear switch 42, the setting device 43 must be operated. By configuring in this way, it is possible to enhance the security for making the setting changeable state.

(47) After the power is turned off when the game is available, the door member is open when the power is turned on, "when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are being operated, and the door member is open. "When", "When the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are being operated and the door member is not open" and "Only the RWM clear switch 42 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43" In any case of "when is being operated", the second type of game information is initialized among the backed up game information. As described above, regarding the backed up game information, regardless of whether the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated or only the RWM clear switch 42 is operated, regardless of the opening of the door member. , Is initialized. On the other hand, the setting changeable state is not the setting changeable state unless the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated and the door member is not opened. In this way, in the situation where the power is turned on after the power is turned off when the game is available, "whether the setting device 43 is operated in addition to the RWM clear switch 42" or "setting in addition to the RWM clear switch 42". By providing a portion that considers "whether the door member is open when the vessel 43 is operated" and a portion that does not consider it, it is possible to easily change the specifications or design of the gaming machine.

(48) When the power is turned on, when only the setting device 43 of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is operated, the setting value being set can be confirmed and the setting can be confirmed. As a result, when the setting can be confirmed, the setting value being set can be confirmed, and the setting can be changed as to whether the setting value needs to be changed, that is, whether the setting needs to be changed. It can be confirmed even if it is not in a state.

(49) By making the set value changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even if the power is turned off in any of the gameable state, the setting confirmable state, and the setting changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are subsequently turned on. Even if 43 is operated, the setting can be changed only when the opening of the door member is detected. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud.

(50) Even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated with the power turned on, when the door member is not opened, the power is turned on according to the situation when the power is turned off. The situation after being done was different. In particular, the situation in which the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated even though the door member is not open is considered to be fraudulent or something is caught in the door member. Be done. Further, the situation in which the power is turned off when the setting can be changed in order to change the set value may be a situation where a power failure occurs, but it is also possible that the power is turned off illegally. Therefore, when the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, if the door member is not opened, the game cannot be played. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud.

(51) Game information backed up when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated and the door member is open after the power is turned off and the power is turned on. When it is determined that is not normal, both the first type of game information and the second type of game information are initialized. As a result, the game returns based on the first-class game information and the second-class game information that may not be normal, and the first-class game information and the second-class game information that may not be normal are restored. It is possible to prevent the game from being played based on the above.

(52) By making the set value (setting information) changeable in the setting changeable state, it is possible to cause a change in the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In such a pachinko gaming machine, even if the power is turned off in any of the gameable state, the setting confirmable state, and the setting changeable state, the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device are subsequently turned on. Even if 43 is operated, the setting can be changed regardless of whether the backed up game information is normal only when the door member is open. As a result, it is possible to prevent the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 from being operated and the setting can be changed without opening the door member. As a result, for example, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud.

(53) When it is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is normal, the door is operated even when the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated by turning on the power. When the member was not opened, the situation after the power was turned on was different depending on the situation when the power was turned off. In particular, the situation in which the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated even though the door member is not open is considered to be fraudulent or something is caught in the door member. Be done. Further, the situation in which the power is turned off when the setting can be changed in order to change the set value may be a situation where a power failure occurs, but it is also possible that the power is turned off illegally. Therefore, when the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, even if the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated, if the door member is not opened, the game cannot be played. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the change of the set value due to fraud. Further, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, the door member is opened when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated when the power is turned on. Even so, it becomes impossible to play. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from returning based on the abnormal game information and from playing the game on the game machine that has returned based on the abnormal game information.

(54) By configuring the setting value (setting information) to be in a changeable state after the power is turned on, the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine is changed. Can be done. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In addition, it is possible to confirm whether or not it is necessary to change the set value by configuring the set value so that the set value can be confirmed. Furthermore, by making it controllably configured to be in an incapable state in which it is impossible to play a game, for example, even though the backed up game information is not normal, it is restored based on the abnormal game information. It is also possible to prevent the player from returning to the playable state in which the game can be played, such as by suppressing the game. Further, after the power is turned on, the state when the power is turned off, the result of the backup normal determination accompanying the power on, whether the RWM clear switch 42 is operated when the power is turned on, and the setting device 43 when the power is turned on. Is operated, and the door is opened when the power is turned on. Then, by setting the state suitable for the combination thereof, it becomes possible to return appropriately.

(55) The RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 are operated as the power is turned on, even after the power is turned off in any of the gameable state, the setting confirmable state, the setting changeable state, and the game impossible state. When the door member is open and the door member is open, the setting can be changed regardless of whether the backed up game information is normal. For this reason, the door member is opened when the setting can be changed regardless of the "state when the power is turned off" or the "result of the backup normal judgment", which is difficult for the person who intends to change the setting information to adjust. , The RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 may be operated, and there is no need to adjust, for example, the “state when the power is turned off” or the “result of backup normality determination”.

(56) It is determined that the game information backed up by turning on the power is not normal even after the power is turned off in any of the game available state, the setting confirmable state, the setting changeable state, and the game impossible state. In such a case, when at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated due to the power being turned on, the game cannot be played regardless of whether the door member is open. Will be. Therefore, when the backed up game information is not normal, if at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated when the power is turned on, the game cannot be played, which is not normal. It is possible to prevent the player from returning based on the backed up game information that may be possible.

(57) After the power is turned on, the setting value (setting information) can be controlled to be in a changeable state, so that the development of the game on the same pachinko gaming machine can be changed. .. That is, it is possible to cause a change in the jackpot probability (degree of advantage regarding special games), and it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest. In addition, it is possible to confirm whether or not the setting information needs to be changed by configuring the set setting value so that the setting can be confirmed. Further, when it is determined that the backed up game information is normal, it is when the door member is open, and at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated. When the power is turned off, the state after the power is turned on differs depending on whether the state when the power is turned off is the state where the setting can be confirmed or the state where the setting can be changed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the backed up game information is not normal, it is when the door member is open, and at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated. At that time, regardless of whether the power is turned off, the setting can be confirmed or the setting can be changed, the game cannot be played after the power is turned on. As described above, if the backed up game information is normal, it can be restored appropriately by setting the state according to whether the setting can be confirmed or the setting can be changed when the power is turned off. Is possible. On the other hand, if the backed up game information is not normal, even if the power is turned off in either the setting checkable state or the setting changeable state, it may not be normal by making the game inoperable state. It is possible to prevent the player from returning based on high game information.

(58) Regardless of whether the backed up game information is determined to be normal or not, it is when the door member is open and the RWM clear switch 42. The state after the power is turned on does not differ depending on whether at least one of the setting devices 43 is not operated or the setting is confirmed or the setting can be changed when the power is turned off. In this way, regardless of whether the power is turned off, the game is available or the setting can be confirmed, the state does not change after the power is turned on. Therefore, for example, the game is possible when the power is turned off. It is possible to reduce the processing load as compared with the case where the state after the power is turned on differs depending on whether the state or the setting can be confirmed.

(59) The setting change notification regarding the setting changeable state and the setting confirmation notification regarding the setting confirmation possible state are executed including means by display and sound. By making the display and the sound related to each other, it is possible to realize that the setting can be changed or the setting can be confirmed by the easy-to-understand notification.

(60) When the backed up game information is initialized and the game becomes playable, the game becomes possible regardless of whether the setting changeable state is passed or the setting changeable state is not passed. Is executed by the same notification. Therefore, it is possible to realize that the backed up game information has been initialized by an easy-to-understand notification.

(61) In the case where the game is ready to be played without initializing the backed up game information, the state is considered to be playable regardless of whether the setting checkable state is passed or the setting checkable state is not passed. The same notification is used to execute the notification that can be specified. Therefore, it is possible to realize that the backed up game information has not been initialized, that is, that the power has been restored by an easy-to-understand notification.

(62) When the game becomes available after the setting can be changed, the RWM clear notification is executed, and when the setting can be confirmed and the game becomes possible, the power recovery notification is executed. Then, by making the notification mode of the notification executed different depending on which route the game is available, it is possible to confirm whether the setting can be changed or the game can be confirmed. It is possible to realize with an easy-to-understand notification whether the game is ready for play.

(63) Even when the door member is opened and the power is turned on by executing the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification for notifying that the game is ready to be played in preference to the door opening notification. , It becomes easy to recognize how the pachinko gaming machine 10 has become playable by turning on the power.

(64) The setting changeable state and the setting confirmation state are notified in a manner that can be recognized without opening the door member (setting change notification, setting confirmation notification), but the setting value (setting information) itself. Notifies in a manner that cannot be recognized unless the door member is opened. The door member cannot be opened unless the lock device SS is unlocked by using the lock key managed by the manager of the game hall. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the set value itself from being visually recognized by a player or the like.

The above embodiment can be modified and implemented as follows. The above embodiment and the following modified examples can be implemented in combination with each other within a technically consistent range.
-What was the state when the power was turned off, whether the backed up game information was normal, whether the door member was open, whether the RWM clear switch 42 was operated, and whether the setting device 43 was operated. As shown in FIG. 6, the power supply shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is used to set any of the gameable state, the setting changeable state, the setting confirmable state, and the game impossible state. Not limited to input processing. For example, the process of determining whether the backed up game information is normal may be configured to be performed after the process of determining whether the door member is open. That is, in the power-on process, a process of determining what kind of state the power was turned off, a process of determining whether the backed up game information is normal, and a process of determining whether the door member is open. , The context of the process of determining whether the RWM clear switch 42 is being operated and the process of determining whether the setting device 43 is being operated may be changed.

When performing the setting change process in the power-on process of FIGS. 8 and 9, one or both of the second initialization process in step S105 and the first initialization process in step S115 are omitted, and the setting change process is performed. 1 It may be configured to perform the initialization process (process of step S206 shown in FIG. 10).

-In the power-on process, it may be configured to determine whether the state when the power is turned off is the playable state or the state when the power is turned off is the state where the setting can be confirmed. Then, the state controlled from turning on the power may differ depending on whether the state when the power is turned off is the playable state and the setting confirmable state. That is, the state controlled when the power is turned on differs between the case where the power is turned off when the game is controlled to the playable state and the case where the power is turned off when the setting is confirmed. There may be cases. For example, the power is turned off when the setting can be confirmed, and then the door member is opened when the power is turned on, and the RWM clear switch 42 and the RWM clear switch among the setting devices 43 are turned on as the power is turned on. When only 42 is operated, it may be configured to be in a non-gaming state.

-The embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine 10 provided with a movable body for directing. The pachinko gaming machine 10 provided with the movable body for production executes a predetermined initial operation as the game becomes playable, and the movable body for production operates normally from the detection result of the sensor that detects the in-situ position. Or, it detects whether there is any abnormality in the sensor. In addition, the initial operation of the movable body for effect is notified whether it is operating normally. The initial operation of the movable body for production is irrespective of whether the first initialization process has been performed, the setting can be changed, or the setting can be confirmed before the game becomes playable. It may be executed. That is, from the initial operation of the movable body for effect, it is indistinguishable from which state of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended. For example, the initial operation of the movable body for production when the setting can be changed and the game becomes possible, and the initial operation of the movable body for production when the setting can be confirmed and the game becomes playable. And may be different from each other so that it is possible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended. In addition, RWM clear notification and power recovery notification are executed so that it is possible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended after the setting control state ends by the operation of the movable body for effect. It may be configured as follows. Further, even if the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are executed so that it is impossible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state is terminated by the operation of the movable body for production. good. Further, the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification by the operation of these effectable movable bodies may be executed in place of or in addition to the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification by other means.

The character string (error mode) displayed on the display 45 may be the same regardless of whether the first game impossible process or the second game disabled process is performed. For example, in the above embodiment, the second game impossible process may be configured to be performed instead of the first game disabled process, or the first game disabled process may be performed instead of the second game disabled process. It may be configured. In addition, the second game impossible process may be configured to perform the second game disabled process in place of the first game disabled process in part or all, or the first game disabled process may be performed in place of the second game disabled process in part or all. May be configured to be performed.

-It is configured so that [-E1] is displayed on the display 45 when the first incapacity processing is performed, but the set value is not limited to, for example, when the first incapacity processing is performed. When an error occurs, the display 45 may be configured to display [−−E1]. At this time, [−−E2] may be displayed on the display 45 when the second incapacity processing is performed. In this case, when [-E1] is displayed on the display 45, "After the power is turned off when the setting is controlled to be changeable, the open detection sensor SE7 is used as a door member when the power is turned on. When opening is detected, at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated, and various information backed up in the backup normal determination accompanying the power-on are normal. It is possible to identify that a setting error other than the error caused by "determined" has occurred. As described above, when [-E1] is displayed on the display 45, it is possible to identify that a setting error has occurred in which a condition other than the condition for displaying [-E2] on the display 45 is satisfied. It may be configured.

Similarly, [-E2] is configured to be displayed on the display 45 when the second incapacity processing is performed, but the setting is not limited to, for example, when the second incapacity processing is performed. When an error regarding the value occurs, [−−E2] may be displayed on the display 45. At this time, [−−E1] may be displayed on the display 45 when the first incapacity processing is performed. In this case, when [−−E2] is displayed on the display 45, “after the power is turned off while the setting can be changed, the open detection sensor SE7 is used as a door member when the power is turned on. It is determined that the various information backed up is not normal in the backup normal judgment accompanying the power-on because at least one of the RWM clear switch 42 and the setting device 43 is not operated while the release is detected. It is possible to identify that a setting error other than the error caused by "was done" has occurred. Further, on condition that the setting information is not normal (abnormal), the second game impossible process is configured to be executed, and [-E2] is displayed on the display 45. good. As described above, when [-E2] is displayed on the display 45, it is possible to identify that a setting error has occurred in which a condition other than the condition for displaying [-E1] is satisfied on the display 45. It may be configured.

-The second initialization process may be configured to be performed in place of the first initialization process in part or all, or the first initialization process may be performed in place of the second initialization process in part or all. It may be configured to be done. For example, in the power-on process, the second initialization process may be performed instead of the first initialization process in step S115 among the first initialization processes in steps S112, S115, and S123. Further, in step S105, if the information regarding the set value, that is, the game information of the first type is normal, the first initialization process may be performed. That is, in step S105, the first initialization process or the second initialization process may be performed depending on whether or not the game information of the first type is normal. In addition, when at least one of the first game impossible process and the second game impossible process is performed, the first initialization process or the second initialization process may be performed. For example, the second initialization process may be performed when the first game impossible process is performed, while the first initialization process may be performed when the second game impossible process is performed.

-Among the errors that execute error notification, an error that executes error notification even if it occurs during the execution of setting error notification, and an error notification that occurs during execution of setting error notification are executed. May include errors that do not. The error for executing the error notification may be, for example, an error having a high priority, or may be, for example, magnetic detection or induced magnetic field detection. Further, the error that does not execute the error notification may be, for example, an error having a low priority, or may be, for example, full. In addition, during the execution of setting error notification, some devices (for example, sound and light emission) perform setting error notification, and other devices (for example, display) notify about errors that occur separately from the setting error notification. It may be executed at the same time as or instead of the notification of the setting error. In this case, for example, when the notification of an error that has occurred separately is performed by display, the notification mode may be the second notification mode.

-When multiple errors with the same error notification priority occur, the notification of the error that occurred earlier is maintained, and "notification of the error that occurred later" or "notification of the error that occurred earlier" is maintained. After the end, the notification of the error that occurred later may be executed. " Alternatively, when a plurality of errors having the same error notification priority occur, the error notification that occurs later may be executed instead of the error notification that occurred earlier.

-When the RWM clear notification and the power recovery notification are performed by the speaker SP, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2, and the effect display device 11, it is possible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended. It may be divided into a means and a means in which it is impossible to distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting confirmable state has ended. For example, the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2 and the effect display device 11 can distinguish which of the setting changeable state and the setting checkable state has ended, while the speaker SP can confirm the setting changeable state and the setting checkable state. It may be configured indistinguishable which of the states has ended.

-When the setting change notification is executed by different means, the notification does not have to start and end at the same time. Similarly, when the setting confirmation notification is executed by different means, the notification does not have to start and end at the same time. Further, when the RWM clear notification is executed by different means, the notification does not have to start and end at the same time. Similarly, when performing a power recovery notification by different means, the notification does not have to start and end at the same time. For example, the time when the execution of the RWM clear notification is started in the speaker SP may be later than the time when the execution of the RWM clear notification is started in the effect display device 11 and the decorative lamps LA1 and LA2.

-In the above embodiment, the stored contents of the sub-control RWM50c may be retained as backup information. For example, when the main control CPU 41a performs the first initialization process or the second initialization process, the sub control CPU 50a may be configured to initialize the stored contents of the backed up sub control RWM50c.

-The setting switch may not be shared with other switches such as the RWM clear switch 42, but may be a dedicated operating means. Further, the operation of the setting switch is not limited to the push button type, and may be arbitrarily changed to a lever type, a dial type, or the like.

-In the embodiment, when an error canceling switch to be operated when canceling the error notification is provided, the setting switch may be also used as an error canceling switch instead of the RWM clear switch 42.

-At time points X13 to time X16 in FIGS. 12 and 13, the switch related to fraud may be invalid. That is, when the setting is controlled to the confirmable state, various switches including the switch related to fraud other than the switch related to the setting control state may be invalid. Further, when the setting is controlled to be changeable, various switches including a switch related to fraud other than the switch related to the setting control state may be invalid.
