This is to prevent the sound in the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 from leaking from between the connection cylinder portion 43a and the connection portion 621c.

According to the grill member 46 of the present embodiment, the air vibration emitted from the curtain plate internal space 40a to the outside by the main body frame speaker 622 is slanted upward and forward by the plurality of inclined blade portions 46b. The handle unit 180 can be directed into the front cylinder portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 in which the handle unit 180 is housed through the notch opening 295b on the lower side of the handle cover 295. As a result, when the player thrusts his / her finger into the inside of the handle cover 295 (front cylinder portion 291a of the handle cover base 291) and rotates the handle 195 (the driving device of the game ball B), the main body frame. By vibrating the speaker 622 and sending wind into the front cylinder portion 291a, the player can be surprised and an unprecedented effect can be performed.

Further, since the port member 47 is opened toward the front, a part of the sound pressure emitted from the port member 47 through the plurality of blade portions 46b of the grill member 46 is discharged forward. Therefore, it is also released from the port member 47 to the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 and other players wandering in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The pachinko machine 1 can be heard, and the player's attention can be attracted by the effect sound, and the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to the player can be provided.

Further, since the port member 47 is provided in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2 with respect to the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 provided in the main body frame 4, the volume of the enclosure 624 is increased. Therefore, it is possible to output a deeper bass effect sound, entertain the player, and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

It is provided with a strip-shaped second arm 137 that is rotatably attached at a portion below the center and rotatably attached at a portion below the center of rotation of the second cam member 135 on the lower end side. ing.

Further, the cylinder lock 130 has a cylinder mounting frame so as to cover the cylinder body 131, the first cam member 134, the first arm 136, and the second arm 137 from the rear except for the second cam member 135 (rotation transmission member 133). The rear cover 138 attached to the 115 and the upper and lower ends of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are rotatably attached to the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, respectively. It is equipped with 139.

In the first cam member 134, the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the rear surface side, and the upper end side of the second arm 137 is attached to the front surface side. The second cam member 135 is rotatably mounted from the rear side by the cylinder mounting frame 115, and the rotation transmission member 133 is integrally rotatably mounted on the rear side sandwiching the front surface of the cylinder mounting frame 115. In the second cam member 135, the lower end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the front side, and the lower end side of the second arm 137 is attached to the front side in front of the first arm 136.

In the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, the portion to which the first arm 136 is attached and the portion to which the second arm 137 is attached are separated from each other at an angle of 90 degrees about the respective rotation axes. is doing. Further, in each of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, the portion to which the first arm 136 is attached is provided at a position farther from the center of rotation than the portion to which the second arm 137 is attached. ..

The rear cover 138 has a screw whose upper end side is not shown in a state where the shaft portion 138a projecting outward from the lower ends of both left and right side surfaces in a columnar shape is locked to the L-shaped locking slit 115b of the cylinder mounting frame 115. It is detachably attached to the cylinder mounting frame 115.

In this cylinder lock 130, the cylinder mounting frame 115, the cylinder body 131, the rotation transmission member 133, the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135, the first arm 136, and the second arm 137 are made of metal. ..

The cylinder lock 130 is in a state in which the front end of the cylinder body 131 substantially coincides with the front end of the cylinder insertion port 440b of the door frame right side unit 430 in a state of being assembled to the door frame 3.

Here, the conventional cylinder lock 130A will be described. In the conventional cylinder lock 130A, as shown in FIGS. 34 (c) and 34 (d), the cylinder body 131 penetrates the front piece portion of the cylinder mounting frame 115A from the rear and the rear end is mounted on the front piece portion. There is. The cylinder lock 130A is provided with a rotation transmission member 133 on the axis of the cylinder body 131.

Subsequently, the operation of the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIGS. 34 (c) and 34 (d), the conventional cylinder lock 130 is provided with the rotation transmission member 133 on the axis of the cylinder body 131, whereas the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment is provided. As shown in FIGS. 34 (a) and 34 (b), the rotation transmission member 133 is provided at a position separated downward from the axis of the cylinder body 131.

Under normal conditions, the cylinder lock 130 has the upper and lower ends of the first arm 136 at the center of rotation of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, respectively, as shown in FIG. 36 (a). In addition to being attached to the right portion, the upper and lower ends of the second arm 137 are attached to the portions below the center of rotation of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, respectively. The cylinder body 131 can be rotated from a normal state in a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction at an angle of 90 degrees, respectively, by using a regular key.

In this state, when the first cam member 134 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction via the cylinder of the cylinder body 131 by the key inserted into the keyhole 132, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 move upward. It will be. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right side of the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the first arm 136 will rotate the second cam member 135 in the counterclockwise direction. On the other hand, in the second arm 137, since the upper end side is attached below the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135 is counterclockwise from the second arm 137. There is almost no force to rotate it in the clockwise direction.

In this way, when the first cam member 134 rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the normal state, the force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, and the second cam member 135 is counterclockwise. It rotates in the direction, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135. The force acting upward by the counterclockwise rotation of the first cam member 134 is the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134 and the first cam member. It is proportional to the distance in the left-right direction from the center of rotation of 134. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates in the counterclockwise direction from the normal state, the force acting upward on the first arm 136 becomes smaller, whereas the force acting upward on the second arm 137 acts upward. The power to do becomes greater.

Therefore, when the rotation angle of the first cam member 134 in the counterclockwise direction from the normal state exceeds 45 degrees, the force acting upward on the second arm 137 becomes larger than that on the first arm 136. The second cam member 135 rotates in the counterclockwise direction mainly via the second arm 137. Then, the key inserted into the keyhole 132 can be rotated from the normal state to an angle of 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction (see FIG. 36 (b)).

When the key is used to rotate the key 90 degrees counterclockwise from the normal state to 90 degrees clockwise to return to the normal state, the action opposite to the above is applied. It will work.

On the other hand, when the first cam member 134 is rotated in the clockwise direction via the cylinder of the cylinder body 131 by the key inserted into the keyhole 132 from the normal state, the upper end side is to the right of the rotation center of the first cam member 134. The first arm 136 attached to the side moves downward, and the second arm 137 attached to the upper end side below the rotation center of the first cam member 134 moves upward. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right side of the rotation center of the first cam member 134, the first arm 136 attempts to rotate the second cam member 135 in the clockwise direction. In the second arm 137, the upper end side is attached below the center of rotation of the first cam member 134, so that the second cam member 135 is rotated clockwise from the second arm 137. There is almost no force to rotate in the direction of.

In this way, when the first cam member 134 rotates in the clockwise direction from the normal state, the force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, and the second cam member 135 moves in the clockwise direction. It rotates, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135. The force that transmits the rotation of the first cam member 134 by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 to the second cam member 135 is the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134. And the distance in the left-right direction between the rotation center of the first cam member 134. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates in the clockwise direction from the normal state, the force for rotating the second cam member 135 in the first arm 136 becomes smaller, whereas the force for rotating the second cam member 135 becomes smaller. In the arm 137, the force for rotating the second cam member 135 becomes large.

Therefore, when the rotation angle of the first cam member 134 in the clockwise direction from the normal state exceeds 45 degrees, the second arm 137 will rotate the second cam member 135 more than the first arm 136. The force is increased, and the second cam member 135 rotates in the clockwise direction mainly via the second arm 137. Then, the key inserted into the keyhole 132 can be rotated clockwise from a normal state to an angle of 90 degrees (see FIG. 36 (c)).

When the key is used to rotate the key 90 degrees clockwise from the normal state to 90 degrees clockwise to return to the normal state, the operation is the opposite of the above. Will be done.

As described above, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 in which the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 are attached in phase with each other at an angle of 90 degrees are attached. Since the first cam member 134 (the key inserted in the keyhole 132) is in any rotation position, at least one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 is connected by The second cam member 135 (rotation transmission member 133) can be rotated by transmitting the rotation, and the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 can be locked and unlocked in a good manner.

Further, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the rotation is transmitted by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 as the rotation transmission mechanism, so that the rotation transmission member 133 (rotation transmission member 133) with respect to the axis of the cylinder body 131. Since the axis of the transmission cylinder 654) of the locking unit 650 in the main body frame 4 can be provided at different positions, the position of the cylinder main body 131 in the door frame 3 can be set to an arbitrary position without changing the locking unit 650. The cylinder body 131 (keyhole 132) can be provided at a portion that does not interfere with the decoration of the door frame 3, and the pachinko machine 1 with high decorativeness of the door frame 3 can be provided.

Further, as described above, even if the position of the cylinder main body 131 is changed in the door frame 3, it is not necessary to change the locking unit 650 in the main body frame 4, so that the locking unit 650 can be diverted, and the pachinko machine 1 can be used. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the door.

By the way, in the conventional cylinder lock 130A, since the rotation transmission member 133 is provided behind the cylinder body 131, a fraudster who knows the configuration inserts a tool from the front to the rear of the cylinder body 131. By illegally rotating the rotation transmission member 133 with the tool, there is a risk of opening the door frame 3 and performing an illegal act. On the other hand, since the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment is provided with the rotation transmission member 133 at a position away from the axis (rear) of the cylinder body 131, a tool is inserted behind the cylinder body 131. Even if an attempt is made to rotate the rotation transmission member 133, the rotation transmission member 133 cannot be rotated because the rotation transmission member 133 does not exist at the relevant portion, and a fraudulent act of opening the door frame 3 or the main body frame 4 or the like. Can be prevented from being done.

Further, in the cylinder lock 130, the second arm 137 connects the portions of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 separated from each other at a rotation angle of 90 degrees with respect to the first arm 136. A straight line in which a portion attached to one of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 of one arm 136 or the second arm 137 connects the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135. Even if it is located above, the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 connects the parts farthest from the straight line connecting the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135. It will be in a state of being. Therefore, one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 is located at the dead center of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, so that the rotation from the first cam member 134 is transferred to the second cam member 135. Even if it cannot be transmitted, the rotation from the first cam member 134 can be transmitted to the second cam member 135 by the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137, so that the first cam member 134 can be transmitted. There is no great resistance to rotation, the key inserted in the keyhole 132 can be rotated smoothly, unlocking and locking can be done easily, and the key inserted in the keyhole can be forcibly rotated. It is possible to prevent the key from being damaged and prevent the key from being damaged.

Further, since the rotation of the key inserted in the keyhole 132 is transmitted to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at the eccentric position by the two arms of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, for some reason. Even if one of the arms is damaged, the rotation can be transmitted by the other arm, and the pachinko machine 1 having a highly reliable cylinder lock 130 can be provided.

Further, the rotation of the key inserted in the keyhole 132 is transmitted to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at the eccentric position by the smooth rod-shaped (strip plate-shaped) first arm 136 and second arm 137. Therefore, when the rotation is transmitted by the gear, there is a risk that the gear will rotate and the rotation transmission member 133 will be rotated by hooking the tip of the tool on the teeth of the gear. Since the arm 136 and the second arm 137 have a smooth rod shape on the surface, the tip of the tool can be made difficult to be caught by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, and the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are moved. This makes it possible to prevent the rotation transmission member 133 from being rotated, and reliably prevents the lock unit 650 from being illegally operated to unlock the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4. be able to.

In the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are used as the rotation transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the first cam member 134 to the second cam member 135. , Not limited to this, for example, a rotation transmission mechanism using a plurality of gears, a rotation transmission mechanism using gears and rack gears, a rotation transmission mechanism using a sprocket and a chain, a rotation transmission mechanism using a pulley and a belt. , Etc. may be used.

The ball feeding unit 140 of the door frame base unit 100 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38. FIG. 37 (a) is a perspective view of the ball feeding unit of the door frame base unit as viewed from the front, and FIG. 37 (b) is a perspective view of the ball feeding unit as viewed from the rear. FIG. 38 (a) is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit disassembled and viewed from the front, and FIG. 38 (b) is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit after removing the rear case and the fraud prevention member. be. The ball feeding unit 140 can supply the game balls B supplied from the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 one by one to the ball launching device 540 of the main body frame 4, and the game stored in the upper plate 201. The ball B can be pulled out to the lower plate 202 by operating the upper plate ball removal button 222.

The ball feeding unit 140 has an entrance 141a through which the game ball B is supplied from the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 and penetrates in the front-rear direction, and a ball outlet 141b that opens below the entrance 141a. A game ball that has entered from the entrance 141a of the box-shaped front cover 141 that is open and the front cover 141 that is open in the front and rear while closing the rear end of the front cover 141. The front cover is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the rear cover 142 having a ball hitting supply port 142a for supplying B to the ball launcher 540, the rear cover 142, and the front cover 141. The rear cover 142 one by one a ball pulling member 143 having a partition portion 143a for partitioning between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b on the rear side of 141, and a game ball B on the partition portion 143a of the ball pulling member 143. The ball feeding member 144, which is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the vertical direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and the ball feeding member 144 are rotated. It is equipped with a ball feeding solenoid 145.

As shown in the figure, in the ball feeding unit 140, the ball feeding member 144 is arranged on the right side of the entrance 141a in the front view, and the ball feeding member 143 is ball feeding on the left side of the ball feeding member 144. Ball feeding solenoids 145 are arranged on the right side of the feeding member 144, respectively.

The front cover 141 of the ball feeding unit 140 is provided with an arcuate slit 141c formed concentrically with respect to the rotation center of the ball pulling member 143 on the left side of the ball pulling port 141b when viewed from the front. From 141c, the operating rod 143c of the ball pulling member 143, which will be described later, extends forward. Further, the front cover 141 extends upward from the upper edge of the entrance 141a, and when the door frame 3 is assembled, the ball feeding guide path 241b of the rear base 241 in the upper plate ball removing rear unit 240 And the portion of the ball ejection taxiway 241c that is open to the rear on the upstream end side is closed from the rear side.

The ball pulling member 143 has a partition portion 143a and a partition portion 143a whose upper surface is lowered toward the ball feeding member 144, which is below the entrance 141a and between the entrance 141a and the ball ejection port 141b. Around the axis that extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feeding member 144 and bends in a dogleg shape from the vicinity of the middle in the vertical direction toward the lower center of the ball ejection port 141b and the lower end extends in the front-rear direction. A rotating rod portion 143b that is rotatably supported, a rod-shaped operating rod 143c that protrudes forward from the upper end of the rotating rod portion 143b, and a rotating rod portion 143b that is below the operating rod 143c. It is provided with a weight portion 143d protruding from the side surface to the side opposite to the partition portion 143a. The actuating rod 143c of the ball pulling member 143 is formed so as to project forward through the arcuate slit 141c formed in the front cover 141 (see FIG. 37 (a)). The actuating rod 143c is the upper end of the operation transmission portion 242b of the upper plate ball removal slider 242 that moves downward by the pressing operation of the upper plate ball removal button 222 of the plate unit 200 through the ball feeding opening 101e of the door frame base 101. Contact with the upper surface).

The ball feeding member 144 is after the blocking portion 144a and the blocking portion 144a having a fan-shaped plan view centered on the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction toward the partition portion 143a of the entrance entrance 141a and the ball pulling member 143. It is provided with a ball holding portion 144b recessed in an arc shape from the end toward the rotation axis core side, and a rod-shaped rod-shaped rod portion 144c extending downward from the rear end of the ball holding portion 144b. The blocking portion 144a and the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 are formed adjacent to each other within an angle range of about 180 ° about the center of rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 has a size capable of holding one game ball B. The ball feeding member 144 rotates around the rotating shaft core by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145 to move the rod portion 144c arranged at a position eccentric to the rotating shaft core in the left-right direction.

The ball feeding member 144 has a supply position in which the blocking portion 144a faces the direction of the partition portion 143a and at the same time the ball holding portion 144b faces the direction in which the ball holding portion 144b communicates with the hit ball supply port 142a, and the ball holding portion 144b faces the partition portion 143a. It is designed to rotate between the holding position and the holding position facing in the direction. When the ball feeding member 144 is in the supply position, the game ball B held by the ball holding portion 144b is supplied to the ball launching device 540 from the hitting ball supply port 142a and enters the partition portion 143a from the entrance 141a. The game ball B is blocked from moving toward the ball holding portion 144b (striking ball supply port 142a) by the blocking portion 144a and stays on the partition portion 143a. On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 144 rotates to the holding position, the ball holding portion 144b faces the direction of the partition portion 143a, and the end portion of the ball holding portion 144b on the rod portion 144c side closes the ball hitting supply port 142a. Therefore, only one game ball B on the partition portion 143a is held in the ball holding portion 144b.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 has a ball feeding operating rod 146 whose tip swings in the vertical direction by driving (energization) of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and a tip swinging in the vertical direction in the ball feeding operating rod 146. It is provided with a ball feeding crank 147 that rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction and rotates a ball feeding member 144 around an axis extending in the vertical direction.

The ball feeding operation rod 146 is provided with an iron plate 146a at a portion below the ball feeding solenoid 145. The ball feeding operation rod 146 extends to the left and right, and the end (right end) opposite to the ball feeding crank 147 is rotatably attached to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 around the axis extending back and forth. Has been done. When the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the iron plate 146a is attracted to the ball feeding solenoid 145 (upward) by the generated magnetic force, and the ball feeding operation rod 146 is centered on the right end portion. The left end side near the crank 147 rotates so as to move upward. After that, when the drive of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released, the magnetic force disappears and the weight of the iron plate 146a acts, and the left end side close to the ball feeding crank 147 moves downward around the right end. It rotates in this way and returns to the initial state. As a result, in the ball feeding operation rod 146, the left end portion (tip) near the ball feeding crank 147 swings in the vertical direction by the ball feeding solenoid 145.

The ball feeding crank 147 engages with the engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction so as to be able to engage with the vertically moving tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146, and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a. A shaft portion 147b that is arranged on the opposite side to the side and is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and extends upward from the shaft portion 147b. The ball feeding member 144 includes a transmission portion 147c that engages with a rod-shaped rod-shaped rod portion 144c (see FIG. 38 (b)) that protrudes downward from a position eccentric with respect to the center of rotation.

The ball feeding unit 140 moves the tip (left end) of the ball feeding operating rod 146 upward by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145, thereby moving the ball feeding crank 147 via the ball feeding operating rod 146. It can be rotated around an axis that extends back and forth.

When the ball feeding solenoid 145 is not driven (normal time), the ball feeding unit 140 is in a state where the ball feeding operating rod 146 is separated from the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip is positioned downward. Then, the ball feeding member 144 is in a state of being positioned at the supply position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feeding operating rod 146 is sucked by the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feeding member 144 is in the holding position. Rotate to. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 144 receives one game ball B, and the driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released (OFF state). The game ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 in the ball feed unit 140 is controlled by the launch control unit 633b (see FIG. 169) of the payout control board 633 in synchronization with the drive control of the launch solenoid 542.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is adapted to apply a moment such that it rotates in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front by a ball pulling member 143 rotatably supported by the shaft or a weight portion 143d. However, the operating rod 143c projecting forward of the ball removing member 143 comes into contact with the upper end of the operation transmitting portion 242b of the upper plate ball removing slider 242 operated by the pressing operation of the upper plate ball removing button 222 of the plate unit 200. Since the rotation is restricted, the partition portion 143a of the ball pulling member 143 is positioned and partitioned between the entrance 141a and the ball pulling port 141b under the normal state, and is on the ball pulling port 141b side. The game ball B does not invade.

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

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

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 142b (see FIG. 38 (b) and the like) recessed forward in the upper right corner of the ball feeding port 142a in the rear cover 142 when viewed from the rear. The fraud prevention member 148 is mounted in the mounting recess 142b. The fraud prevention member 148 of the ball feeding unit 140 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side.

The fraud prevention member 148 is formed in a rectangular shape with the outer shape of the front view extending to the left and right, and the upper piece portion 148a and the upper piece portion 148a which are separated vertically at substantially the center in the vertical direction within a predetermined distance from the right side to the left. It is provided with a lower piece portion 148b and an inclined portion 148c formed in a C-chamfer shape on the tip end side (right end side in front view) of the side facing each other of the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b. .. The upper piece portion 148a of the fraud prevention member 148 is bent so that the right end of the front view projects rearward with respect to the general surface of the fraud prevention member 148.

A single-shot button 193 whose end side is rotatably attached to the handle base 181 behind the inner base 186 around an axis extending back and forth, and a single-shot button that detects the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193 and is attached to the handle base 181. It is equipped with an operation sensor 194.

The handle base 181 of the handle unit 180 is recessed from a cylindrical base 181a extending back and forth, a disk-shaped front end 181b protruding radially from the front end of the base 181a, and an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical base 181a. It also has three groove portions 181c that extend in the axial direction and are formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the base portion 181a of the handle base 181 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rear cylinder portion 291c of the handle cover base 291 in the handle cover unit 290. Further, the three groove portions 181c are formed at positions corresponding to the three ridges 291d of the handle cover base 291 which will be described later. Therefore, with the three groove portions 181c aligned with the three ridges 291d, the base portion 181a can be inserted into the rear cylinder portion 291c of the handle cover base 291 and the ridges 291d are inserted into the three groove portions 181c, respectively. Is inserted so that the handle base 181 cannot rotate relative to the handle cover base 291.

The handle 195 includes a disk-shaped central hub portion 195a, a plurality of (here, three) spoke portions 195b extending outward radially at intervals in the circumferential direction from the central hub portion 195a, and a plurality of spokes. An annular outer ring portion 195c connecting the tips of the portions 195b, and two extending in an arc shape around the rotation axis (shaft member 187) and penetrating the central hub portion 195a in the front-rear direction. It is provided with a slit 195d and a locking projection 195e that protrudes rearward from a position inside the rotation center of the slit 195d and locks the other end side of the handle return spring 190. The outer diameter of the central hub portion 195a is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the general outer peripheral surface of the handle of the conventional pachinko machine.

The three spoke portions 195b of the handle 195 are clockwise and clockwise about one spoke portion 195b extending horizontally to the left from the central hub portion 195a in a state where the handle 195 is free (not rotated). Two spoke portions 195b extend from a portion having an angle of 120 degrees in the counterclockwise direction. The three spoke portions 195b extend with a length such that a gap into which a player's finger can be inserted is formed between the central hub portion 195a and the outer peripheral ring portion 195c.

The outer peripheral ring portion 195c of the handle 195 is provided coaxially with the center of the central hub portion 195a. The outer peripheral ring portion 195c is formed in an annular shape with a constant cross-sectional shape with the rounded side of the U-shape facing forward.

The handle 195 is formed so as to have translucency as a whole, and is partially plated with an electrically continuous plating portion from the central hub portion 195a to the outer peripheral ring portion 195c. As a result, the touch of the handle 195 can be detected by the handle touch sensor 192 even when only the outer peripheral ring portion 195c is touched. Therefore, the game ball B can be driven even by turning the outer ring portion 195c.

The handle guide 196 has a U-shaped guide portion 196a that is open toward the center side of the handle 195, and a flat plate-shaped mounting stay 196b that extends from the front end of the guide portion 196a toward the center side. There is. In the three handle guides 196, the mounting stay 196b is mounted on the rear side of the spoke portion 195b of the handle 195 so that the guide portion 196a is located behind the outer ring portion 195c of the handle 195. The handle guide 196 is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction by inserting the guide piece 291 g of the handle cover base 291 described later into the inside of the guide portion 196a.

The cover pedestal 183 is formed in a disk shape having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the central hub portion 195a of the handle 195, and includes three mounting bosses 183a protruding rearward from the rear surface. The three mounting bosses 183a penetrate the slit 195d of the handle 195 from the front and are mounted on the front surface of the handle base 181. Since the mounting boss 183a of the cover pedestal 183 penetrates the slit 195d of the handle 195, the mounting boss 183a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 195d, and the rotation angle of the handle 195 is restricted. In this example, the handle 195 can be rotated within a rotation angle of about 120 degrees.

There are a total of 10 handle decorative boards 184, one in the center, three with a certain interval in the circumferential direction on the middle circumference, and six with a certain interval in the circumferential direction along the outer circumference. A number of LEDs 184a (full-color LEDs) are mounted in triple concentric circles. These LEDs 184a are divided into five groups: one in the center, three in the middle, two in the upper left of the outer circumference, two in the upper right of the outer circumference, and two in the lower part of the outer circumference. (See FIG. 72). A 24-bit LED driver 184b having a unique address for causing each LED 184a to emit light is mounted on the handle decorative substrate 184. This LED driver 184b can control up to 24 systems, and controls 10 LEDs 184a divided into 5 groups with a total of 15 systems of 3 systems for each set so that each LED 184a can emit light in full color. I am doing it.

Although not shown, the handle decorative board 184 has two power lines (one is a ground line) for supplying power for driving the LED 184a and the LED driver 184b, and commands and addresses from the peripheral control board 1510. A wiring cable consisting of four electric wires is connected, one control signal line for receiving signals such as, and one clock line for synchronizing the LED driver 184b with the peripheral control board 1510. .. Then, in the LED driver 184b of the handle decorative board 184, when a command addressed to the address is received from the peripheral control board 1510 (effect control board) via the control signal line, the LED driver 184b is divided into five groups according to the command. The 10 LEDs 184a can be made to emit light with an appropriate color and intensity for each set.

As described above, since the handle decorative substrate 184 has the LED driver 184b, the number of light emission of the LEDs 184a is larger than the number of electric wires constituting the wiring cable to be connected individually (here, the set). Since it can be controlled every), the number of electric wires can be reduced, and the configuration of electrical wiring can be simplified.

The front surface of the front handle lens 185 bulges forward in a round shape and has translucency. The front handle lens 185 is provided with a lens member three-dimensionally formed of a transparent member inside. The steering wheel front lens 185 can be decorated by emitting light by appropriately emitting an LED on the front surface of the steering wheel decorative substrate 184.

The handle rotation detection sensor 189 is a variable resistor, and when the handle 195 is rotated, the detection shaft 189a of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 rotates via the shaft member 187 and the transmission gear 188. The internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 189a. Therefore, when the handle 195 is rotated to change the internal resistance of the handle rotation detection sensor 189, the driving force of the firing solenoid 542 in the ball launching device 540 described later changes according to the internal resistance, and the rotation of the handle 195 The game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the angle.

The steering wheel touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the steering wheel unit 180, and when the player comes into contact with the steering wheel 195, the static electricity acting from the player is detected, and the player comes into contact with the steering wheel 195. To detect. Then, when the handle 195 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 195. The drive of the 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be driven.

Therefore, even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 195 in some way without touching the handle 195, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the contact of the player. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be driven.

It is sectional drawing which shows the main part. The lower plate 202 is arranged below the upper plate 201 and on the left side of the center of the plate unit 200 (door frame 3) in the left-right direction when viewed from the front. The lower plate 202 is formed of a lower plate main body 251 and a plate unit base 211. The lower plate 202 is formed in a container shape capable of storing the game ball B, and is provided with a lower plate ball extraction hole 202a that penetrates vertically through the bottom wall and is capable of discharging the game ball B. The lower plate ball extraction hole 202a of the lower plate 202 is closed so as to be openable and closable by the lower plate ball extraction lid 265 of the lower plate ball extraction unit 260.

The lower plate 202 is formed in a substantially quadrangular shape in which the shape in a plan view extends to the left and right, and the front end on the left side from the center in the left-right direction protrudes forward from the right side. In the lower plate 202, a lower plate ball extraction hole 202a penetrating vertically is arranged near the front end near the right end.

The game ball B stored in the plate unit 200 can be discharged below the plate unit 200 (for example, a dollar box). Further, in the state where the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a of the lower plate 202 is open, since the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a is arranged in front of the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate ball supply port 211c is forward. The released game ball B can be quickly discharged downward from the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a by moving the shortest distance.

Here, in the conventional pachinko machine, as shown in FIG. 50 (b), the lower plate ball supply port 211j of the plate unit base 211 in the plate base unit 210 communicating with the ball discharge port 150d of the foul cover unit 150. On the other hand, a lower plate ball extraction hole 202b of the lower plate 202 is provided in front of the central axis. Then, the lower plate ball supply port 211j is formed into a tubular shape that extends straight forward so that the game ball B discharged forward from the ball discharge port 150d faces the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b. As a result, the game ball B discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211j can be quickly discharged downward from the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b by moving the shortest distance.

By the way, when the game ball B is guided straight toward the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b by the lower plate ball supply port 211j, the lower plate ball extraction hole 202b is closed by the lower plate ball extraction lid 265.

As a result, by moving the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a to the left, the lowest portion of the lower plate 202 (the portion of the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a) moves to the left, and the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a is moved to the left. With the 202a closed, it is possible to reduce the concentration of the game ball B on the right side in the lower plate 202. Then, even if a plurality of game balls B are stored in the lower plate 202 from the portion of the lower plate ball extraction hole 202a and reach the rear end of the lower plate 202 (front surface of the plate unit base 211), the lower plate ball is supplied. Since the left side wall of the mouth 211c extends diagonally to form a gap through which the game ball B can flow from the rear end of the lower plate 202, the foul cover unit 150 (ball discharge port 150d) and the upper plate ball After the removal, the game ball B discharged from the unit 240 (ball removal guide path 241c) toward the lower plate ball supply port 211c is guided to the left side in the lower plate 202 along the diagonally extending left side wall and released. The game ball B can be properly stored in the entire lower plate 202.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the full tank detection sensor 154 from operating and notifying the full tank even though there is a sufficient area in the lower plate 202 where the game ball B can be stored.

Further, the vibration motor 356 is provided at a portion on a straight line passing through a pair of guide shafts 362 that guide the effect operation unit 301 (effect operation unit unit 350) in the vertical direction. As a result, the vibration from the vibration motor 356 can be satisfactorily transmitted to the effect operation unit 301. Further, the vibration of the vibration motor 356 can reduce the influence on the pair of guide holes 354a (pair of guide shafts 362).

The contact detection sensor main body 358 is a capacitance sensor. Although detailed illustration is omitted, the contact detection sensor main body 358 supplies power to a sensor IC having a surge protection circuit, a transmission circuit, a detection smoothing circuit, a comparison circuit, and the like, an output circuit, and the sensor IC and the output circuit.

Further, the connector of the contact detection sensor main body 358 has an external electrode terminal connected to the sensor electrode, and the external electrode terminal is connected to the contact detector 352. That is, the contact detection sensor main body 358 can make the contact detection body 352 function as an external sensor electrode. The contact detection sensor main body 358 detects the capacitance with the sensor electrode and outputs an ON signal when the predetermined capacitance set by the external resistance is exceeded. In the present embodiment, the ON signal is output when the predetermined capacitance is exceeded, but a plurality of stages of signals may be output depending on the magnitude of the capacitance.

The effect operation unit 350 of the present embodiment is provided with a contact detector 352 that functions as a sensor electrode for detecting the capacitance by the contact detection sensor body 358 on the lower surface of the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351. Therefore, it is possible to detect the contact or approach of the object to be detected (player's hand) to the upper surface of the button body 351 via the contact detection body 352. Further, since the contact detection body 352 of the effect operation unit 350 has a plurality of downward extension pieces 352a extending downward, the button main body is in a state where the effect operation unit 350 is projected upward. It is possible to detect the contact or approach of the object to be detected (player's hand) to the side surface of the 351. For this reason, the effect operation unit 350 can make the button body 351 function as the contact operation unit 302 by the contact detection body 352 and the contact detection sensor body 358.

The effect operation unit unit 350 is supported so as to be able to move up and down in the vertical direction by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360. In the state where the effect operation unit 350 is moved to the most downward position (normal state), the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 coincides with the upper surface of the unit top cover 312 of the effect operation unit cover unit 310, and the effect operation is performed. The unit 300 looks like a sphere. When the effect operation unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312. By pressing downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, it can function as the pressing operation unit 303.

More specifically, in the state where the effect operation unit 350 is moved to the most downward position (normal state), the effect operation unit 350 does not move further downward even when pressed, and the pressing operation cannot be performed. .. In this normal state, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is detected by the press detection sensor 373 of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360. Then, when the effect operation unit unit 350 is moved upward from the normal state by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is separated from the press detection sensor 373 and becomes a non-detection state. .. Then, when the upper surface of the effect operation unit 350 is pressed downward and the effect operation unit 350 is lowered to the lower moving end against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 detects the pressure. It is detected by the sensor 373. As a result, the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected.

Further, since the effect operation unit 350 covers the upper part of the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal with the button body 351, it touches the upper surface of the smooth spherical button body 351 when operating the contact operation unit 302. Therefore, the player does not directly touch the surface of the punching metal having irregularities due to the plurality of holes, and the player can smoothly operate the contact operation unit 302. Further, since the contact detection body 352 is covered with the button body 351, fine irregularities and a plurality of streaks are formed on the surface (upper surface) of the button body 351 to give an arbitrary tactile sensation to the contact operation unit 302. The pachinko machine 1 can be provided, the degree of freedom in designing the contact operation unit 302 can be increased, and the player can be more entertained.

In the above, the button main body 351 is made transparent, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the lower side may be difficult to see through the button main body 351 and may be opaque or translucent. As a result, the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal becomes difficult to see through the button body 351 so that the appearance of the effect operation unit unit 350 can be improved. Further, when the button body 351 is opaque, it is desirable to have translucency. As a result, the button body 351 can be light-lit and decorated by the light from the LED 355a of the button outer decorative board 355 and the LED 364a of the button inner decorative board 364 provided below, and the player can emit light by the light emitting effect of the button body 351. Can be entertained.

The effect operation unit 350 can be urged upward through the method. Further, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 raises and lowers the effect operation unit unit 350 (effect operation unit 301) with respect to the effect operation unit cover unit 310 by rotating the elevating cam member 371 by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. Can be made to. Further, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 can appropriately illuminate a plurality of LEDs 364a mounted on the decorative substrate 364 in the button to illuminate and decorate the central portion of the upper surface of the button body 351.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked to the locking portion 371c provided on the lower end side of the elevating cam member 371 (FIG. 55A). See). In this normal state, the effect operation unit 350 is located at the downward moving end via the button base 354, and even if the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is pressed downward, the effect operation is performed. The unit 350 does not move downward. Therefore, in the normal state, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected. Further, in a normal state, the surface (upper surface) of the unit top cover 312 in the effect operation unit cover unit 310 and the upper surface of the button body 351 in the effect operation unit 350 are in agreement with each other, and the effect operation unit cover unit 310. And the button body 351 form one sphere.

When the elevating drive gear 368 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367 in a normal state (the effect operation unit 350 is in the descending position), it meshes with the elevating drive gear 368. The elevating cam drive gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view via the driven gear 369, and the elevating cam member 371 connected to the elevating cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevating cam member 371 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the cam portion 371a seen in the front in FIG. 55A moves to the right, and the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked. The button base 354 rolls from the 371c to the left portion of the locking portion 371c in the first cam 371b, and the button base 354 moves slightly downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 354c.

Then, when the guide pin 354c that rolls relatively to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is located from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, the second cam Since the second cam 371d extends vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the guide pin 354c moves upward along the second cam 371d due to the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the guide pin 354c and the guide pin 354c At the same time, the button base 354 is raised, and the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position. In this state, since the detection piece 354d is separated from the press detection sensor 373, the press detection sensor 373 is in a non-detection state.

The elevating spring lower holding member 385 of the elevating output adjusting mechanism 380 with which the lower end of the elevating spring 365 is in contact can be moved to various positions in the vertical direction by the projecting output adjusting drive motor 381, although the details will be described later. can. Then, since the compression amount of the elevating spring 365 can be changed according to the position of the elevating spring lower holding member 385 in the vertical direction, the effect operation unit 350 is raised by the protrusion output according to the compression amount of the elevating spring 365. It can be projected to a position.

When the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, as shown in FIG. 55B, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is the third of the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the remaining cam portion 371a. It is in contact with the cam 371e. In this state, the drive of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

When the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the button base 354 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and the movement of the button base 354 further upward is restricted. Further, in the state where the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, the entire effect operation unit 350 (effect operation unit 301) is moving upward, and the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351 is located above the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312. Also protrudes upward.

When the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) of the effect operation unit 350 is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in this raised position, the effect operation unit 350 causes the elevating spring 365. It moves downward against the urging force of the button base 354 and comes into contact with the gear cover 372. When the button base 354 comes into contact with the gear cover 372, the button base 354 is in the lowered position, and the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is also in the lowered position together with the button base 354.

In this way, when the button base 354 comes into contact with the gear cover 372, the detection piece 354d protruding downward from the button base 354 is in a state of being detected by the press detection sensor 373, and the button body 351 of the effect operation unit unit ( The pressing of the pressing operation unit 303) is detected.

To return the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) from the ascending position to the descending position, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. In (b), the third cam 371e that is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 moves to the right (direction of the guide pin 354c), so that the guide pin 354c is moved by the third cam 371e. Is pressed downward, and the button base 354 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 354c.

When returning the effect operation unit 350 to the lowering position, the elevating spring lower holding member 385 was moved downward by the projecting output adjusting drive motor 381 of the projecting output adjusting mechanism 380 to reduce the compression amount of the elevating spring 365. It is in a state (see FIG. 56). As a result, the urging force of the elevating spring 365 that urges the effect operation unit 350 upward is weakened, so that the force acting on the third cam 371e of the elevating cam member 371 via the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 also increases. It becomes weak and the load applied to the operation button elevating drive motor 367 that rotates the elevating cam member 371 can be reduced, and the damage (failure) of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 can be reduced. Further, as the operation button elevating drive motor 367, an inexpensive motor having a low torque can be used.

Then, when the guide pin 354c moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371, the downward movement of the button base 354 stops and the guide pin 354c moves to the first cam. Roll along 371b. After that, when the guide pin 354c reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 354c is inserted into the locking portion 371c recessed upward by the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the operation is performed. By stopping the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 by the button elevating drive motor 367, the effect operation unit 350 is returned to the original descending position.

In the above, in the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, by rotating the elevating cam member 371 in the counterclockwise direction by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is rotated by the first cam 371b ( An example of moving the button base 354 (button body 351) from the locking portion 371c) to the second cam 371d and projecting the button base 354 (button body 351) from the descending position to the ascending position at once has been described. In a normal state where the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is locked to the locking portion 371c of the 371 and is moved to the descending position, the operation button elevating drive motor 367 makes the elevating cam member 371 a clock in a plan view. It may be rotated in the clockwise direction. Incidentally, the elevating distance of the button main body 351 (effect operation unit unit 350) by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 in the present embodiment is about 40 mm.

When the elevating cam member 371 is rotated clockwise in a normal state, the guide pin 354c moves from the first cam 371b to the third cam 371e, and the guide pin 354c is moved to the third cam 371e by the urging force of the elevating spring 365. Will move upward along. Then, when the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is stopped when the guide pin 354c is in the middle of the third cam 371e, the button body 351 is projected upward at an arbitrary position between the descending position and the ascending position. It can be stopped. Then, by projecting the button body 351 to a position above the descending position, the button body 351 can be pressed downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the button body 351 is pressed by the pressing operation unit 303. Can function as.

When the button body 351 is projected upward by the third cam 371e, the elevating spring lower holding member 385 of the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is moved downward to weaken the urging force of the elevating spring 365. Is desirable. As a result, the load applied to the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 (operation button elevating drive motor 367) can be reduced, and the operation feeling of the pressing operation of the button main body 351 can be lightened.

In this way, since the amount of protrusion of the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) can be changed according to the rotation position of the elevating cam member 371, the protrusion amount can be changed according to the gaming state (for example, the first start port 2002 or the like. By making the amount of protrusion of the button main body 351 different (according to the special lottery result drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B into the second starting port 2004), the player can be made to suggest the degree of expectation for the game.

It should be noted that at least one shallow recess in which the guide pin 354c can be locked may be provided in the middle of the third cam 371e of the elevating cam member 371. As a result, the button body 351 (effect operation unit unit 350) can be stably projected to the position of the same protrusion amount, and the variation in the protrusion amount can be prevented. Further, when a recess is provided in at least one place in the middle of the third cam 371e, the guide pin 354c is locked in the recess, so that the operation button elevating drive motor 367 stops the rotation of the elevating cam member 371. It is not necessary to continue, and the load applied to the operation button elevating drive motor 367 can be reduced.

[3-5e-6. Sudden output adjustment mechanism]
The protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 in the effect operation unit 300 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 53 to 56 and the like. The protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 changes the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365 that urges the effect operation unit 350 upward, so that the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) protrudes upward (the momentum (pressing operation unit 303)). The sudden output) can be changed. The protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is provided between the bottom wall of the main body portion 315a of the operation unit base 315 and the base main body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361.

The protrusion adjustment mechanism 380 includes a protrusion adjustment drive motor 381 attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361 and a spur gear-shaped pinion gear attached to the rotating shaft of the protrusion adjustment drive motor 381. From the transmission gear 383 that meshes with the pinion gear 382 and is rotatably attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a, the spur gear-shaped gear portion 384a that meshes with the transmission gear 383, and the gear portion 384a. An adjustment screw 384 that has a screw portion 384b that extends downward in a columnar shape and has a spiral groove formed on the outer periphery thereof, and a central shaft 366 is inserted and rotatably supported, and an adjustment screw. It is provided with an elevating spring lower holding member 385 that meshes with the screw portion 384b of the 384, penetrates the pair of guide shafts 362, and is in contact with the lower ends of the pair of elevating springs 365.

The protrusion output adjustment drive motor 381 is attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a so that a gap is formed between the bump output adjustment drive motor 381 and the lower surface of the base body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361. The protrusion output adjusting drive motor 381 has a rotation shaft protruding from the gap between the base main body 361a and the base body 361a.

The upper and lower adjustment screws 384 are formed to have a length extending from the bottom wall of the main body portion 315a of the operation portion base 315 to the base main body 361a of the elevating mechanism base 361. The screw portion 384b of the adjusting screw 384 is formed in a columnar shape having a diameter larger than that of the gear portion 384a.

The elevating spring lower holding member 385 has a main body portion 385a extending back and forth, a screw hole 385b that penetrates up and down at the center of the main body portion 385a and is screwed with the screw portion 384b, and front and rear of the main body portion 385a. It has a spring holding recess 385c that is provided at both ends and is recessed downward to accommodate the lower end of the elevating spring 365, and a flat plate-shaped detection piece 385d that extends upward from the front end of the main body 385a. .. The guide shaft 362 penetrates the elevating spring lower holding member 385 at the center of the pair of spring holding recesses 385c. The detection piece 385d is detected by the sudden output detection sensor 375 of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360.

The protrusion adjustment mechanism 380 can rotate the adjustment screw 384 around the central shaft 366 via the transmission gear 383 and the gear portion 384a when the pinion gear 382 is rotated by the protrusion adjustment drive motor 381. Then, the protrusion output adjustment mechanism 380 rotates the adjustment screw 384 by the protrusion output adjustment drive motor 381, and moves the elevating spring lower holding member 385 in the vertical direction by the screw hole 385b meshing with the screw portion 384b. be able to.

In the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, when the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is moved upward, the lower end of the elevating spring 365 held in the spring holding recess 385c is moved upward, and the compression amount of the elevating spring 365 is large. Become. On the other hand, when the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is moved downward, the lower end of the elevating spring 365 held in the spring holding recess 385c is moved downward, and the compression amount of the elevating spring 365 becomes smaller (FIG. 56). reference). That is, when the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is moved upward, the urging force for urging the effect operation unit 350 upward by the elevating spring 365 can be increased, and the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is moved downward. And, the urging force for urging the effect operation unit 350 upward by the elevating spring 365 can be reduced. As a result, the protrusion output of the effect operation unit 350 can be adjusted upward by the protrusion output adjustment mechanism 380.

The detection piece 385d of the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is detected by the protrusion output detection sensor 375 when the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is raised most. That is, when the amount of compression of the elevating spring 365 is the largest, the detection piece 385d is detected by the protrusion output detection sensor 375. As a result, when the protrusion output detection sensor 375 detects the detection piece 385d while the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is being moved upward by the protrusion output adjustment drive motor 381, the elevating spring lower holding member by the protrusion output adjustment drive motor 381 By stopping the upward movement of the 385, further compression of the elevating spring 365 can be prevented, and damage to the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 can be prevented.

Further, as described above, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 can appropriately adjust the protrusion output of the effect operation unit 350, so that the button body is operated by the contact detector 352 while the effect operation unit 350 is in the lowered position. The contact or approach of the object to be detected (for example, the finger of the player) to the 351 is detected, and the effect operation unit unit 350 is projected by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 so as to come into contact with the object to be detected. Occasionally, the position of the elevating spring lower holding member 385 in the vertical direction may be appropriately selected so that the protrusion output of the button body 351 is different. As a result, when the button body 351 protrudes upward, the strength applied to the player's fingers or the like can be made different. Therefore, if the button body 351 strongly abuts, there may be something good for the player. It is possible to make the player think that it is, and it is possible to raise the player's expectation for the game. Therefore, according to the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, the button is selected according to the gaming state (for example, according to the special lottery result drawn by the acceptance of the game ball B into the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004). By increasing or decreasing the sudden output of the main body 351, it is possible to make the player suggest the degree of expectation for the game.

By the way, as a method of changing the urging force of the spring, it is conceivable to change the urging force by applying a twist to the spring. However, it is necessary to use a compressed spring (compression coil spring) in order to project the effect operation unit 350, and if the compression coil spring is twisted to change the urging force, it is impossible to use it differently from the original use. Stress acts on the compression coil spring, and the internal structure may deteriorate and be damaged at an early stage. On the other hand, in the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 of the present embodiment, the protrusion output of the effect operation unit unit 350 is changed by changing the compression amount of the lift spring 365 by moving the lifting spring lower holding member 385 in the vertical direction. Since the urging force) is adjusted, excessive stress does not act on the elevating spring 365, and it is possible to reduce the deterioration of the elevating spring 365 at an early stage. It can be stably projected over a long period of time.

[3-5e-7. Action of production operation unit]
Next, the operation of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 57 and 58. FIG. 57 is an explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate, the button outer decorative substrate, and the button inner decorative substrate in a plan view of the effect operation unit viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. FIG. 58A is a front view of the dish unit shown in a normal state, and FIG. 58B is a front view of the dish unit when the effect operation unit is in the raised position. The effect operation unit 300 is formed in a spherical shape as a whole, and has an effect operation unit 301 on the upper surface thereof that can be operated by the player. The effect operation unit 301 is composed of a contact operation unit 302 that can be operated by touching or approaching the player's hand or the like, and a pressing operation unit 303 that can perform a pressing operation. The contact operation unit 302 is provided on the upper part of the pressing operation unit 303 (button body 351).

The effect operation unit 300 is assembled to the dish unit 200 in a state where the projecting direction of the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit unit 350) capable of projecting upward is inclined so that the upper side is positioned forward with respect to the vertical direction. ing. That is, the center of the effect operation unit 301 is located in front of the apex of the spherical effect operation unit 300. This makes it easier for the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 to see the effect operation unit 301.

In the normal state of the effect operation unit 300, the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit 350) is in the lowered position, and the curved upper surface of the button body 351 of the effect operation unit 350 is the effect. It coincides with the spherical surface of the operation unit cover unit 310. Further, in a normal state, even if the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed downward, the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit unit 350) does not move downward. Therefore, in a normal state, it is difficult for the player to recognize that the effect operation unit 300 looks like a mere spherical decorative body and can be operated.

As shown in FIG. 57, in the effect operation unit 300, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate 320 is arranged below the unit upper cover 312 that surrounds the outer periphery of the press operation unit 303 (effect operation unit unit 350). An annular button outer decorative substrate 355 is arranged inside the pressing operation unit 303 near the outer edge, and a button inner decorative substrate 364 is further arranged inside the annular button outer decorative substrate 355. The effect operation unit 300 is arranged outward in the order of the button outer decorative substrate 355 and the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate 320, centering on the button inner decorative substrate 364. The LED 355a inside the decorative substrate 364 inside the button and the decorative substrate 355 outside the button are arranged below the contact detector 352, but the contact detector 352 is formed of punching metal to provide translucency. Since it has, the light from them can be satisfactorily transmitted upward (player side).

The effect operation unit 300 can illuminate and decorate the annular unit upper cover 312 by the LED 320a of the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative substrate 320. Further, the LED 355a of the button outer decorative substrate 355 can illuminate and decorate the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the button main body 351 and the outer peripheral surface. Further, the LED 364a of the decorative substrate 364 in the button can illuminate and decorate the central portion of the upper surface of the button body 351.

Since the plurality of LEDs 320a of the outer peripheral decorative substrate 320 of the effect operation unit, the plurality of LEDs 355a of the decorative substrate 355 outside the button, and the plurality of LEDs 364a of the decorative substrate 364 inside the button are arranged in a row on the circumference, in the circumferential direction. By sequentially emitting light, it is possible to show the player a light emitting effect in which the light rotates around the center of the pressing operation unit 303. Further, since the plurality of LEDs 320a, LEDs 355a, and LEDs 363a are arranged concentrically, the light emission effect that the light spreads from the center of the pressing operation unit 303 to the outside and the light from the outside to the center of the pressing operation unit 303 are emitted. It is possible to show the player a light emission effect that converges.

Under normal conditions, the effect operation unit 300 is in a descending position where the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit unit 350) has its upper surface aligned with the surface of the unit upper cover 312, as shown in FIG. 58 (a). It is in a state. In this state, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is impossible. On the other hand, the contact operation unit 302 can enable the contact operation according to the player participation type effect to be executed.

As an effect (player participation type effect) in a normal state in which the pressing operation unit 303 (effect operation unit 350) is not projected, for example, an effect image urging the user to touch the upper surface of the effect operation unit 300 is displayed. It displays on the device 1600 and outputs voice, sound effects, and the like. Then, when the contact detection body 352 detects the contact (or approach) with the button body 351, the process proceeds to the next production stage. When the contact is detected, the button body 351 is light-emitting and decorated by the light emission of the LED 355a of the button outer decorative board 355 and the LED 364a of the button inner decorative board 364, thereby recognizing that the contact operation is accepted by the player. It may be possible to give a feeling of operation to the contact operation unit 302. At this time, the degree of expectation for the game (for example, the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous, such as a "big hit" game) is given to the player by the emission color, emission brightness, emission pattern, etc. of the button body 351. It may be suggested.

Alternatively, when the contact detection body 352 detects contact (or approach) with the button body 351, the button body 351 may be vibrated by driving the vibration motor 356. As a result, it is possible to give an operation feeling to the contact operation unit 302, and it is possible to strongly recognize that the contact operation has been accepted by the player. At this time, by giving a strong vibration, a weak vibration, or a vibration having a predetermined rhythm to the vibration motor 356, the player may be made to suggest the degree of expectation for the game. good.

Further, as an effect in a normal state (player participation type effect), an effect image urging the user to touch the upper surface of the effect operation unit 300 is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and a voice, a sound effect, or the like is output. After that, when the contact detection body 352 detects the contact of the player (hand or finger) with respect to the upper surface of the button body 351, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 moves the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) up and down. It is projected upward (pop-up) by the urging force of the spring 365. More specifically, in a normal state, when the elevating cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 becomes the cam portion 371a (first cam). Departing from 371b), due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365, the effect operation unit 350 (button body 351 and pressing operation unit 303) vigorously protrudes upward together with the button base 354 to be in the ascending position (FIG. 371b). 55 (b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the button body 351 is located above the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312, and the button body 351 projects upward. Then, as the button body 351 protrudes upward as described above, the finger touching the button body 351 is pushed upward together with the button body 351. Therefore, the player can be greatly surprised, and the player's It can attract a lot of interest.

After that, the process shifts to the effect of pressing the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) to entertain the player with the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303. More specifically, when the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is in the raised position and the button body 351 is pressed downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is pressed. It moves downward so that the upper surface of the button body 351 is on the same surface as the upper surface of the unit top cover 312, and the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is detected by the press detection sensor 373. As a result, the pressing operation of the button main body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected, and the effect can be changed by the pressing operation as an opportunity to entertain the player by the player participation type effect.

In addition, at the time of the above-mentioned production, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is used to increase or decrease the protrusion output (momentum) that causes the button body 351 to protrude, so that the player can determine the degree of expectation for the game depending on the strength of the protrusion output. May suggest to. Further, the button body 351 may be vibrated by the vibration motor 356 when the button body 351 pops up or is pressed.

In the effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, when the contact detector 352 detects that the player's fingers or the like approach the moving range (within the projecting range) of the button body 351 projecting upward, the button is displayed. The main body 351 (effect operation unit 350) may be projected upward. As a result, the button body 351 comes into contact with the finger or the like of the player to give an impact, so that the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. Even in this case, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 may be used to increase or decrease the protrusion output of the button body 351 so that the player can be made to suggest the degree of expectation for the game by the strength of the protrusion output.

Further, in the effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the contact detector 352 allows the player's fingers and the like to be outside the projecting range of the button body 351 protruding upward and within a predetermined distance from the protruding button body 351. The button main body 351 (effect operation unit unit 350) may be projected upward when it is detected that the button body is approaching. As a result, the wind pressure generated by the protrusion of the button body 351 can be applied to the fingers and the like of the player, so that the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. Even in this case, the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 makes the protrusion output of the button body 351 stronger or weaker, and the strength of the wind pressure that hits the player's fingers or the like suggests the player's expectation for the game. You may do so.

Further, as an effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) may be projected upward regardless of the detection of the player's fingers or the like by the contact detection body 352. At this time, when the button body 351 is projected with a strong protrusion output by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, the button body 351 protrudes vigorously to generate a sound (protruding sound), which surprises the player. Can be done. Further, when the button body 351 is projected with a weak protrusion by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, the button body 351 protrudes quietly, so that it is difficult for the player to notice the protrusion of the button body 351. The button body 351 protrudes before you know it, which can surprise the player.

As an effect after projecting the effect operation unit 350 (button body 351), the button body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is generally used by weakening the urging force of the elevating spring 365 by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380. It is also possible to perform an effect of performing a pressing operation similar to that of a pressing button. Alternatively, the bump output adjusting mechanism 380 may be used to increase the urging force of the elevating spring 365 to cause the player to press the button body 351 with a strong force.

Further, as the effect after the effect operation unit unit 350 (button body 351) is projected, an effect such that the protruding button body 351 is touched may be executed. At this time, since the contact detection body 352 has a downward extending piece 352a extending downward, the side surface of the button main body 351 may be contacted. Further, at this time, it is desirable to strengthen the urging force of the elevating spring 365 by the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380, whereby the protruding button body 351 can be made difficult to move, and the button body 351 (contact operation) can be made difficult. The contact operation of the unit 302) can be easily performed.

As an effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, in the above, in the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the button base 354 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. The guide pin 354c of the above is moved from the first cam 371b (locking portion 371c) to the second cam 371d, and the button base 354 (button body 351) is projected from the descending position to the ascending position at once. It is not limited to this.

For example, in a normal state where the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked to the locking portion 371c of the elevating cam member 371 and the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) is moved to the descending position, the operation button is raised and lowered. By rotating the elevating cam member 371 in the clockwise direction in a plan view by the drive motor 367, the guide pin 354c is moved from the first cam 371b to the third cam 371e, and the elevating cam member 371 is in the middle of the third cam 371e. The rotation of the button body 351 may be stopped to stop the upward protrusion of the button body 351 at a position between the descending position and the ascending position. At this time, the elevating spring lower holding member 385 of the protrusion output adjusting mechanism 380 is moved downward to weaken the urging force of the elevating spring 365.

In this way, even when the button body 351 is made to protrude halfway by the third cam 371e of the elevating cam member 371, the button body 351 can be pressed and the button body 351 functions as the pressing operation unit 303. Therefore, it is possible to entertain the player with the player participation type production. In this case, since the amount of protrusion upward of the button body 351 can be made different according to the rotation position of the elevating cam member 371, it is possible to suggest the degree of expectation for the game according to the amount of protrusion of the button body 351. , Can entertain the player.

Further, as an effect of pressing the projected effect operation unit 350 (button body 351), after the effect operation unit 350 is projected, the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is moved downward to compress the elevating spring 365. To the minimum state. As a result, since the urging force of the elevating spring 365 is in the weakest state, the effect operation unit unit 350 can be pressed with a light (weak) force, and the operability of the pressing operation is enhanced to perform the pressing operation. Can be entertained. Further, as an effect of pressing the effect operation unit unit 350 (button body 351), the elevating spring lower holding member 385 is set to an appropriate position in the vertical direction according to the result of the special lottery drawn, and the urging force of the elevating spring 365. May be any strength from the strongest to the weakest. As a result, the player can be made to push the effect operation unit 350 strongly or weakly, so that the player can be entertained by the difference in the operation force of the effect operation unit 350, and more versatile. It is possible to present a production and make it difficult for the player to get bored.

By appropriately selecting and combining the color of the resin), the transmittance of light, and the like, the appearance can be greatly changed even if the shape remains the same.

Therefore, for example, at the time of a minor change or the like, by making the outer layer 3b transparent so that the pattern of the inner layer 3a can be seen, the exterior of the pachinko machine 1 can be changed without incurring a cost.

Alternatively, the colors of the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b are changed for each production lot, and the pachinko machines 1 of different lots are shipped to the same game hall and installed in the island equipment to make the player feel colorful. It is possible to increase the appealing power to.

In the above embodiment, two-color molding is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and multicolor molding such as three-color molding or four-color molding may be used. Specifically, in the above embodiment, the exterior is configured by combining the right side right side decorative body 440 of the door frame molded in two colors with the right lens 441 on the right side, but the door is molded in three colors. The right side decorative body 440 on the right side of the frame and the right lens 441 on the right side may be integrally formed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the one in which a circular or radial pattern is formed is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and patterns of various shapes may be formed.

As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the handle cover 295, the door frame left side base 421, and the door frame right side left side provided on the outside of the door window 101a in which the game area 5a in the door frame 3 faces forward. The decorative body such as the surface decorative body 438 and the right side right side decorative body 440 of the door frame are molded in two colors (multicolor molding) using two synthetic resins having different light transmission rates, and the decoration with a polka dot pattern is formed by the two-color molding. Since the decorative body is formed into a desired shape, the desired decoration is applied to the decorative body at the same time, so that the decorative body has a desired shape like the decorative body of a conventional pachinko machine. It is not necessary to apply the desired decoration by painting or the like after forming the door, and the labor required for the decoration can be omitted and the increase in cost can be suppressed.

Further, since the decoration of the decorative body is formed by two-color molding, the appearance (appearance) of the decorative body can be easily changed by changing the color of the synthetic resin used. More specifically, when the decoration of the polka dot pattern is formed by two-color molding, the inner layer 3a constituting the inside of the circle of the polka dot pattern and the outer layer 3b constituting the outside of the circle are each transmitted. When formed in the same color with different rates, the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b have the same color, so that the polka-dotted circles are difficult to see, and the appearance is such that the polka-dotted decoration is not applied. On the other hand, when the inner layer 3a constituting the inside of the polka dot circle is white and the outer layer 3b constituting the outside of the circle is pink, the color difference between the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b causes. The polka-dotted circles are clearly visible, giving the appearance a pink background with white polka-dotted decorations. In this way, by appropriately selecting the light transmittance (including color) of the synthetic resin to be used when forming the decorative body, the appearance of the decorative body can be easily changed, and the appearance is changed. The cost can be suppressed.

Further, as described above, the appearance of the decorative body can be easily changed by appropriately selecting the light transmittance (including color) of the synthetic resin to be used when forming the decorative body. If the combination of synthetic resins used for each lot is changed and different lots of this pachinko machine 1 are shipped to the same game hall and installed in a row at the island equipment, the island equipment will look colorful. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player who is wandering in the game hall, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal that can attract the player.

Further, a handle cover 295 and a door frame left side base having a decoration molded in two colors by a plurality of synthetic resins having different light transmittances on a portion outside the door window 101a in which the game area 5a of the door frame 3 faces forward. Since decorative bodies such as 421, the left side decorative body 438 on the right side of the door frame, and the decorative body 440 on the right side of the door frame are provided, the outside of the door window 101a should be decorated with the decorative body to improve the appearance. Can be done.

Further, since the outer layer 3b of the decorative body molded in two colors is made of a synthetic resin having a lower light transmittance than the remaining inner layer 3a, it is possible to make the inner layer 3a difficult to see through the outer layer 3b. The boundary of the decoration (polka dot pattern) composed of the inner layer 3a can be relatively clearly seen, and the decoration can be clearly seen.

Further, since the light transmittance of the outer layer 3b is lower than that of the remaining inner layer 3a, the inner layer 3a can be obscured through the outer layer 3b. Therefore, in the initial model, the outer layer 3b is transmitted through the light. As a low rate, the inner layer 3a is made invisible from the outside, and at the time of model change, a synthetic resin having high light transmittance is used for the outer layer 3b so that the inner layer 3a can be seen through. As a result, the view of the decoration of the decorative body can be greatly changed, and the appearance (decoration) can be easily changed without changing the shape of the decorative body.

Further, as described above, since the inner layer 3a can be obscured by the outer layer 3b having a low light transmittance, a pattern (pattern depending on the shape, painting, printing, sticking of a seal, etc.) can be made on the surface of the inner layer 3a. In the initial model, the opaque outer layer 3b with low light transmittance prevents the pattern of the inner layer 3a from being seen through the outer layer 3b, and is transparent to the outer layer 3b at the time of model change. Since the pattern of the inner layer 3a can be seen through by using a synthetic resin, the appearance (decoration) of the decorative body can be greatly changed without changing the shape of the decorative body. , It is possible to suppress the increase in the cost of model change.

Further, inside the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440, the third LED 432c of the door frame right side upper decorative board 432 and the door frame right side lower decorative board that can irradiate light Since the third LED 433c of 433 is provided and the inner layer 3a is made of a synthetic resin having a higher light transmission rate than the others, the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body When the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c provided inside the 440 are made to emit light, the inside of the decorations formed on the surfaces of the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440. The part of the layer 3a (the part of the polka dots) can be brightly decorated with light emission, and the outside of the door window 101a facing the game area 5a can be decorated with light emission to improve the appearance and to the player on the right side of the door frame. The light emitting decoration of the side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be enjoyed, and the deterioration of the player's interest can be suppressed.

Further, depending on the light transmittance of the outer layer 3b, the outer layer 3b can also be light-emitting and decorated by the light from the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c irradiated to the outer layer 3b through the inner layer 3a, so that the door frame is right. The entire side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be decorated by light emission, and the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be shown beautifully for the game. It can be a highly appealing pachinko machine 1 that can strongly attract the attention of the person.

Further, as described above, the decoration of the decorative body such as the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 is two-color molding (multicolor) of a plurality of synthetic resins having different light transmittances. Since it is formed by molding), LEDs (light emitting means) such as the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c are made to emit light depending on the number of layers to the surface and the difference in the light transmittance of the synthetic resin used. The decoration that can be seen when there is no light and the decoration that can be seen when the LED is lit can be different, and by changing the decoration, the player's interest can be strongly attracted. More specifically, for example, when two-color molding is described as multicolor molding as an example, when a hole having a predetermined shape is formed in a portion of the inner layer 3a covered by the outer layer 3b, the LED is made to emit light. In the absence, only the surface-exposed portion of the inner layer 3a is visible. On the other hand, when the LED is made to emit light, the light from the LED is directly irradiated to the outer layer 3b without passing through the inner layer 3a at the portion where the hole is formed in the inner layer 3a, so that the surface of the outer layer 3b is inside. The shape of the hole in the layer 3a becomes visible, the portion exposed on the surface of the inner layer 3a and the portion of the hole can be seen, and the decoration different from that when the LED is not emitted can be seen. Alternatively, for example, when the inner layer 3a is yellow and the outer layer 3b is blue, when the LED is made to emit yellow light, only the portion of the inner layer 3a in the surface decoration is luminescently decorated. On the other hand, when the LED emits green light (or white), both the inner layer 3a portion and the outer layer 3b portion on the surface are luminescently decorated. The part to be decorated can be changed, and the decoration to be luminescent can be changed. As described above, since the decoration of the decorative body can be changed by the light emission of the LED, the player's interest can be strongly attracted and the player can be entertained. In addition, by making the LED emit light according to the game state, the player can be given a chance or change the driving operation (for example, "right-handed") due to the change in the decoration of the decorative body. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can be suggested and can produce various effects.

Further, since the amount of protrusion in the front-rear direction is different between the door frame left side decorative body 426 and the door frame right side decorative body 435 provided on both the left and right outer sides of the door window 101a (game area 5a). Since the impression (view) when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front left and the front right can be different, the pachinko machine 1 is wandering around in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. Even if the player once passes in front of the pachinko machine 1, when the player approaches the pachinko machine 1 from the opposite side, the appearance is different from that at the time of the previous round trip, which attracts interest in the pachinko machine 1. It can be a highly appealing pachinko machine 1 that can be attached and can attract a player who is wandering around in the game hall to select the pachinko machine 1 to be played. ..

It has a spur gear-shaped payout gear 588a and a plurality of detection pieces 588b extending outward from the payout gear 588a, and is rotatably attached between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device front lid 583. The payout gear member 588, the payout blade 589 having a plurality of blade pieces 589a that rotate integrally with the payout gear member 588 between the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 and project into the payout passage 580a, and the payout blade 589. It is equipped with a blade rotation detection sensor 590 that is attached to the rear side of the apparatus main body 581 and detects the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588.

Further, the payout device 580 is attached by a payout device main body 581 and a payout device rear lid 582 at the downstream end of the payout passage 580a, and has a payout detection sensor 591 for detecting the game ball B, and a payout device main body 581 and after the payout device. A ball-extracting movable piece 592 attached so that the ball-extracting passage 580b can be opened and closed at a portion branched from the payout passage 580a by the lid 582, and a ball-extracting movable piece 592 can be held at a position where the ball-extracting passage 580b is closed. It is provided with a ball pulling lever 593 that is slidably attached in the vertical direction by the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582.

The payout device 580 is formed in a quadrangle whose plan view shape extends vertically. The payout device 580 is formed so that the width in the left-right direction is larger to the right in the front view than the width in the left-right direction of the ball guidance unit 570.

As shown in FIG. 88, the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 has an upstream end opening upward from the center in the left-right direction to the left and a downstream end near the right end in the left-right direction. It opens downward. The payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the top to a height of about 1/3 of the total height so as to gradually move to the left from the upstream end, and then bends slightly diagonally downward to the right. It bends at about 1/3 of the width of the left and right and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589. Then, on the upper side of the center of the payout blade 589, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B, a gap slightly larger than the game ball B is formed between the payout blade 589 and the outer circumference. It extends downward in an arc shape concentric with the payout blade 589 so as to form, and then extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right side of the rear view from the center of the payout blade 589.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The ball pulling lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the left side of the rear view near the upper end of the ball pulling movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 penetrates the rear lid 582 of the payout device and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the descending end, the lower part can come into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball pulling movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction of the rear view can be restricted. The ball pulling passage 580b can be closed by the ball pulling movable piece 592. Further, by locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the rising end, the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened (FIG. FIG. See 89).

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

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

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

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

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

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

[4-7d. Lower full tank path unit]
The lower full tank path unit 610 in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 86 and 87 and the like. The lower full tank path unit 610 is mounted on the bottom plate portion 551 g of the payout base 551 in the payout base unit 550, and is attached to the lower part of the upper full tank path unit 600. The lower full tank path unit 610 guides the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or to the substrate unit 620 side. The lower full tank path unit 610 extends in the front-rear direction so that the front end side is low, and the rear end extends upward.

The lower full tank path unit 610 has a lower normal payout passage 610a, a lower full tank payout passage 610b, and a lower ball removal passage 610c, and is a lower full tank base that extends in the front-rear direction and is open upward. The 611, the lower full tank cover 612 attached to the upper side of the lower full tank base 611, and the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower normal payout passage 610a rotatably attached to the front end of the lower full tank base 611 around an axis extending back and forth.

It is equipped with a closing spring 614, which is in force.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[4-7e. Flow of game ball B in the payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 91. FIG. 91 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of the game ball in the main body frame. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled on the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball ejection lever 593 of the payout device 580 is located at the descending end, and the ball ejection passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in an open state.

In the ball tank 552 opened upward, a predetermined number of balls are detected by the ball cutting detection sensor 574 of the ball guidance unit 570, for example, from the game hall island facility in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. The game ball B is supplied. The game balls B supplied and stored in the ball tank 552 are sent to the payout passage 580a of the payout device 580 through the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 in a state of being aligned in a row by the tank rail 555. When the payout motor 584 is not rotating, the game ball B cannot move (flow down) to the downstream side of the payout blade 589, and a plurality of game balls B stay on the upstream side of the payout blade 589. Will be.

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

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

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

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

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

When the lower plate 202 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate B is further discharged. The game ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 moves and is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are filled with the game balls B (the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are full. The player is informed that the tank is full) by voice (for example, "Please pull out the ball!"), And the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is in a state where the full tank detection sensor 154 is not detected. Temporarily stop until it becomes.

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

At this time, at the portion of the ball-pulling movable piece 592, the flowing game ball B abuts more strongly on the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a than the ball-pulling movable piece 592, so that the ball-pulling movable piece 592 Is less likely to be damaged.

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

The space front recess 621b, which is recessed so as to bulge from the rear to the front on the right side of the view, and the space front recess 621b, which protrudes downward from the lower surface and extends in the left-right direction, diagonally downward and backward. It is provided with an open connection portion 621c.

The main body frame speaker 622 is attached to the speaker mounting portion 621a of the speaker cover 621 from the rear side toward the front. Further, the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 is inclined at an angle of 45 degrees so that the lower end coincides with the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43 in the outer frame lower assembly 40 of the outer frame 2. .. The main body frame speaker 622 is a cone type speaker that mainly outputs bass.

The speaker box 623 is formed in a container shape that is open to the front, and the portion on the rear side of the main body frame speaker 622 protrudes most rearward. It is formed so that the protrusion of the speaker is small. As a result, a sufficient space behind the center of the front view of the speaker box 623 can be secured, and the base unit 620b, the power supply unit 620c, and the like can be arranged. The speaker box 623 is formed so as to cover (close) the entire rear surface of the speaker cover 621 except for the connection portion 621c.

The speaker unit 620a forms a part of an enclosure 624 in which the speaker cover 621 and the speaker box 623 contain the sound output rearward from the main body frame speaker 622. Since the enclosure 624 has a front recess 621b for space that bulges forward to the right of the front view of the speaker mounting portion 621 in the speaker cover 621, the speaker box 623 projects rearward as it goes to the right.

FIG. 98 (a) is a plan view of the main body frame, and FIG. 98 (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in (a). FIG. 99 is an enlarged view showing an enlarged upper portion in a perspective view of the main body frame as viewed from behind. FIG. 100 (a) is a perspective view seen from the front upper side in a state where a tank rail or the like is assembled on a ball tank, and FIG. 100 (b) is a perspective view seen from the front lower side of (a). FIG. 101 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 100 (a) as viewed from the front. FIG. 102 is an explanatory diagram showing a region in the upper part of the main body frame where game balls overflowing from the ball tank circulate. FIG. 103 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of a game ball overflowing from the ball tank at the upper part of the main body frame. FIG. 104 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of the game ball to the detour passage in the upper part of the main body frame. FIG. 105 is an enlarged view showing the vicinity of the tank rail in an enlarged perspective view of the main body frame as viewed from behind on the hinge side.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The main body frame 4 is provided on the front side of the ball tank 552, extends in the front-rear direction, and the same side (left side in the front view) as the downstream side of the tank rail 553 in the left-right direction is outside the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552. In order to return the game ball B, which extends to the left and overflows forward from the ball tank 552, to the ball tank 552, the rear end side is inclined so that the rear end side is at the same height as the detour portion 552f and the front end side is higher. It extends rearward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 at the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501 m and the overflow surface portion 501 m to the upper side of the bulging portion 553b where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open, and the rear end side is low. A part of the game ball B that overflows from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m because it is tilted so that the side (left side) away from the ball tank 552 is lowered in the left-right direction. It is equipped with a detour passage 552 g for guiding the vehicle.

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

The overflow surface portion 501m is formed on the main body frame base 501. The overflow surface portion 501 m has a flat plate shape from a position lower than the outer diameter of the game ball B by a distance of 2 to 4 times from the upper side of the rear surface of the base body 501a, which is formed in a rectangular shape with a front view extending vertically. It is extended to. The overflow surface portion 501 m is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is about 1/3 of the length in the left-right direction of the main body frame base 501, and the left end in the front view is from the left end of the main body frame base 501. It is located to the right of 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction. The height of the overflow surface portion 501 m from the front end to the rear end is formed to be about ½ of the outer diameter of the game ball B. In the overflow surface portion 501m, a gap having a distance of about twice the outer diameter of the game ball B is formed between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame upper member 30 in a state where the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. ..

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

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

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

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

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

Since the detour passage 552 g extends diagonally in the left-right direction so that the rear end moves rearward toward the downstream side of the tank rail 553, the game ball B moves from the detour passage 552 g to the tank rail 553 side. When released, the diagonally extending rear end allows the game ball B to be discharged to the upstream side, which is wider than the downstream side, where the width of the tank rail 553 is narrower. By releasing it to a wide area of the tank rail 553, it is possible to suppress the generation of ball shavings in the tank rail 553.

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

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

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

When the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 555 are assembled from each other, the upstream end (right end in the front view) of the tank rail 553 is connected to the opening 552k of the ball tank 552. Further, in a plan view, the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape and the portion extending straight in the left-right direction on the left side thereof are located rearward (protruding) from the ball tank 552. )is doing. The rear end side of the detour passage 552g on the left side of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 is located at the front end of the diagonally extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape.

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

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

Next, the action and effect of the upper part of the main body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the detour passage 552g are such that the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g are lower on the rear end side as shown by the white arrows in FIG. 102. The left corner portion 501n is inclined so that the rear end right corner is lowered, and the right stage portion 501o is inclined so that the rear end left corner is lowered. Further, the bottom wall 552a and the tank rail 553 (main guide portion 553a) of the ball tank 552 are inclined so that the left end side thereof is lower in the front view. Further, the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the right end side in the direction opposite to the bottom wall 552a is lower.

Then, when the amount of the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 increases due to being supplied from the island equipment, first of all, it exceeds the overflow portion 552f, which is the lowest height among the upper edge of the outer circumference. It can be discharged to the outside (front) of the ball tank 552, and the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can be released to the overflow surface portion 501 m, and is also discharged from the ball tank 552 to the front overflow surface portion 501 m. The game ball B can be returned to the ball tank 552 by tilting the overflow surface portion 501 m (see FIG. 103). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the game balls B from further increasing in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress the strong pressing of the game balls B against each other (increase in the ball pressure) in the ball tank 552. , It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called ball shaving) due to the engagement between the game balls B in the ball tank 552.

Further, since the detour passage 552 g is provided, as shown in FIG. 104, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B accumulated in the overflow surface portion 501 m from exerting a strong backward pressing force on the game ball B in the ball tank 552, and the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is clogged. Can be prevented. Further, since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m can be prevented from spilling to the outside (rear side) of the main body frame 4. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a problem that the game ball B spilled on the outside of the main body frame 4 is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 cannot be opened or closed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, the game ball B returned from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side of the ball tank 552 (to the right in FIG. 103) due to the inclination of the guide surface portion 552j. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B on the guide surface portion 552j from pressing the game ball B in the ball tank 552 in the downstream direction, and the game ball B is clogged in the ball tank 552. Can be prevented.

Further, the game ball B supplied from the island equipment to the ball tank 552 bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m, and rides on the left stage portion 501n and the right stage portion 501o on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m. However, as shown in FIG. 103, the game ball B can be guided to the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g by their inclination, and the game ball B spills on the outside of the main body frame 4, which causes a problem. Can be prevented.

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

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

The second rail cover 555A extends in the left-right direction from the first rail cover 554A to the downstream end (left end in the front view) including the meandering portion 555c on the open upper end side of the tank rail 555A. The second rail cover 555A includes a plate-shaped cover portion 555a that closes the upper end of the tank rail 555A, and a pair of protective walls 555b that extend upward from both front and rear ends on the upstream side of the center of the cover portion 555a in the left-right direction. It has an opening 555c that penetrates the cover portion 555a between the pair of protective walls 555b. The pair of protective walls 555b are formed in a meandering shape following the meandering portion 553c at the portion where the meandering portion 553c of the tank rail 553A is provided. The rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556A, which will be described later, is inserted into the opening 555c so as to penetrate from above.

The ball rectifying member 556A has an upstream end side extending back and forth and is rotatably attached around an axis. The ball rectifying member 556A is provided above the cover portion 555a of the second rail cover 555A and between the pair of protective walls 555b, penetrates the opening 555c of the second rail cover 555A, and protrudes into the tank rail 555A. It has a flat plate-shaped rectifying piece 556a. The ball rectifying member 556A abuts on the game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages in the tank rail 555A from above, thereby breaking the stages of the game balls B and making it easier to align them in a row, and at the uppermost side. The game ball B is prevented from moving rapidly to the downstream side, and ball biting is prevented from occurring on the downstream side of the tank rail 553A.

According to the tank rail 555A or the like of the present embodiment, in the assembled state, the ball rectifying member 556A is located between the pair of protective walls 555b in the second rail cover 555A and below the upper end of the protective wall 555b. ing. As a result, the electric wire (shown by the broken line in FIG. 106) connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a of the external terminal board 558 provided on the front upper side of the portion of the tank rail 555A to which the ball rectifying member 556A is attached becomes. It is possible to prevent the ball rectifying member 556A from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A from above. By the way, when the electric wire connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a comes into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A from above, even if the game ball B abuts on the rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556A due to the weight of the electric wire, the ball rectifying member 556A May not be able to rotate upward, and the rectifying action of the game ball B by the ball rectifying member 556A may not be fully exerted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the pair of protective walls 555b of the second rail cover 555A can prevent the electric wire connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A. When the game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a of the rectifying member 556A, the sphere rectifying member 556A can rotate upward to fully exert the rectifying action, and the ball bites or the ball in the tank rail 553A. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging.

Further, since the meandering portion 553c is provided on the tank rail 553A, the distribution speed of the game ball B can be suppressed by the meandering portion 553c. By the way, in the tank rail 553A whose height becomes narrower toward the downstream side, if the upper game ball B among the game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages moves to the downstream side first, ball biting is likely to occur. .. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as described above, the meandering portion 553c can suppress the distribution speed of the game ball B, so that the upper game ball B moves to the downstream side first. It can be suppressed and the occurrence of ball biting can be reduced.

Further, as described above, since the protective wall 555b of the second rail cover 555A can prevent the electric wire from coming into contact with the ball rectifying member 556A and prevent the occurrence of ball clogging, many tank rails 553A are used. Place the terminal board or control board to which many electric wires are connected near the terminal board (for example, external terminal board 558) or control board to which the electric wires are connected, or place the terminal board or control board to which many electric wires are connected near the tank rail 553A. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high degree of freedom in arrangement of a tank rail 553A (ball tank 552), a terminal board, or the like.

FIG. 116 is a bottom view showing a portion of the pachinko machine provided with the substrate unit of FIG. 111A on the rear side of the door frame.

The substrate unit 620A of the present embodiment is attached to the lower part of the rear surface of the main body frame base unit 500 in place of the substrate unit 620 described above. In the substrate unit 620A of the present embodiment, the configuration of the base unit 660 is significantly different from the base unit 620b of the substrate unit 620 described above. Here, the same components as those of the substrate unit 620 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The board unit 620A includes a speaker unit 620a mounted below the game board mounting portion 501c on the rear surface of the main body frame base 501 of the main body frame base unit 500, and a main body frame so as to cover a part of the speaker unit 620a from the rear. A base unit 660 mounted on the rear surface of the base 501, a power supply unit 620c mounted on the rear side of the base unit 660, a payout control unit 620d mounted on the rear side of the power supply unit 620c, and a payout control unit 620d. It includes an interface unit 620e attached to the rear surface of the speaker unit 620a so as to partially cover the speaker unit 620a from the rear.

The base unit 660 has a front base 661 mounted on the rear surface of the main body frame base 501 so as to cover a part of the speaker box 623 from the rear, and a power supply unit 620c mounted on the rear side of the front base 661. A game that is provided between the rear base 662, the front base 661, and the rear base 662, and distributes the out ball passage 663 and the out ball passage 663 through which the game ball B discharged downward from the game board 5 is distributed. An out sensor 664 that detects the balls B one by one, and a ball pulling guide unit 627 that receives the game ball B released from the lower ball pulling passage 610c of the lower full tank path unit 610 and guides the game ball B to the right in the front view. The game ball B guided by the ball ejection guidance unit 627 circulates, and closes the ball ejection discharge passage 665 provided behind the out ball passage 663 in the rear base 662 and the rear side of the ball ejection discharge passage 665. The passage wall member 666, which is attached to the rear base 662 as described above, is provided.

The front base 661 is formed in the shape of a long box on the left and right that is open forward. The rear base 662 has a flat plate-shaped partition wall portion 662a extending to the left and right at a substantially constant height in the vertical direction, and an out ball passage 663 and a ball ejection guide portion 627 are formed on the front side of the partition wall portion 662a. At the same time, a ball ejection passage 665 is formed on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a. The rear base 662 is formed in a box shape in which the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a is open to the rear.

In the base unit 660, the front base 661, the rear base 662, and the passage wall member 666 are formed of transparent members. Therefore, the ball ejection guide portion 627, the out ball passage 663, and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 are also transparently formed. Therefore, the inside of the ball ejection guide portion 627, the out ball passage 663, and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 can be clearly seen from the upper side or the lower side of the base unit 660, and it becomes easier to confirm ball clogging and the like. There is.

The out-ball passage 663 is formed on the front side of the flat plate-shaped partition wall portion 662a extending to the left and right at a substantially constant height in the vertical direction in the rear base 662 with the front open, and is open. The front end is closed by the front base 661.

The out-ball passage 663 has a ball discharge receiving portion 663a that is open upward and extends to the left and right at a position substantially central in the left-right direction of the pachinko machine 1, and a game ball B received by the ball discharge receiving portion 663a. At the lower end of the out-ball rectifying section 663b that rectifies in a row while largely meandering in the left-right direction, the downward guiding section 663c that guides the gaming ball B rectified in a row by the out-ball rectifying section 663b downward, and the lower guiding section 663c. It is open downward and has an out-ball discharge port 663d that discharges the game ball B downward from the lower surface of the base unit 660. The out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663 is provided behind the outer frame 2 (see FIG. 116).

The ball discharge receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663 is formed so that the depth in the front-rear direction is about 2.5 times the outer diameter of the game ball B. The ball discharge receiving portion 663a is inclined at a gentle angle so that the right end side is lowered.

The out-ball rectifying unit 663b is inclined at a gentle angle from a position to the right of the right end of the ball discharge receiving unit 663a toward the lower side of the ball discharging receiving unit 663a so that the left end side becomes lower. Further, the depth of the out-ball rectifying section 663b becomes narrower in the front-rear direction toward the downstream side (left side), and is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball B in the vicinity of the downstream end below the ball ejection receiving section 663a. It is the depth. Further, the portion of the out-ball rectifying section 663b on the left side of the right end of the ball ejection receiving section 663a has a lower vertical height toward the downstream side (left side), and in the vicinity of the downstream end, the game ball B The height is slightly larger than the diameter. As a result, the game balls B can be aligned in a row in the out-ball rectifying unit 663b.

The lower guide portion 663c extends downward from the downstream end of the out-ball rectifying portion 663b below the ball discharge receiving portion 663a, and the front wall is flush with the rear wall (partition wall portion) in the middle of the vertical direction. It bends backward in a curved curve like a small crank. As a result, the downstream end (out ball discharge port 663d) of the downward guide portion 663c is located behind the front surface of the partition wall portion 662a of the rear base 662. An out sensor 664 is provided on the upstream side of the cranking portion of the downward guide portion 663c. Since the portion of the downward guide portion 663c that is bent in a crank shape is formed in a curved shape so as not to have a portion extending in the horizontal direction, the downward guide portion 663c passes through the out sensor 664 and is bent in a crank shape. Even if the game ball B comes into contact with the existing portion, it does not jump up to the upper out sensor 664 side, and it is possible to prevent one game ball B from being detected twice by the out sensor 664.

Since the game ball B frequently passes through the out sensor 664, a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch having high durability and long life is used.

The ball ejection guide portion 627 is provided on the left side of the ball discharge receiving portion 663a in the out ball passage 663. The ball ejection guide portion 627 has an upstream end that opens to the upper part of the left side surface toward the left in front view, and the downstream side bends backward and extends to the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a of the rear base 662. , It is connected to the upstream end of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 (see FIG. 115 (a) and the like).

The ball ejection discharge passage 665 is formed on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a in the rear base 662. The ball ejection discharge passage 665 is formed in the rear base 662 in a state of being open to the rear, and the rear end side is closed by the passage wall member 666. The rear end of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 is located in front of the rear end of the rear base 662 by about one outer diameter of the game ball B. That is, a gap of one game ball B or more is formed between the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the rear base 662.

The upstream end (left end) of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 is connected to the downstream end of the ball ejection guiding portion 627, and has the same inclination as the ball ejection receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663 and is larger than the ball ejection receiving portion 663a. A lateral guide portion 665a extending to the right, a vertical guide portion 665b extending vertically downward from the downstream end (right end) of the lateral guide portion 665a to the lower surface of the rear base 662, and a downstream end (lower end) of the vertical guide portion 665b. ) Has a ball ejection port 665c that opens downward. The ball ejection port 665c is provided slightly behind the out ball ejection port 663d of the out ball passage 663 (see FIG. 116).

Further, the ball ejection discharge passage 665 has a plurality of protrusions 665d that alternately project inward at regular intervals in the vertical direction on the left and right inner walls of the vertical guide portion 665b. In the ball ejection discharge passage 665, the game ball B flowing through the vertically extending vertical guide portion 665b alternately abuts on the plurality of protrusions 665d, so that the game ball B flows down in a zigzag shape and is distributed. The increase in speed can be suppressed, and the speed of the game ball B discharged downward from the ball ejection port 665c can be suppressed.

Since the ball ejection discharge passage 665 is a simple L-shaped passage by the lateral guide portion 665a and the vertical guide portion 665b, when the ball ejection lever 593 is operated to eject the game ball B in the ball tank 552. , Many game balls B can be smoothly guided and discharged.

According to the substrate unit 620A of this embodiment, the game ball B driven into the game area 5a and discharged from the game board 5 is received by the ball discharge receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663 and then the out sensor 664. It is detected by the sensor and discharged to the island equipment side of the game hall. On the other hand, in order to eject (pull out) the game ball B in the ball tank 552 or the like, the ball pulling lever 593 of the payout device 580 is operated to eject the game ball B discharged to the ball pulling passage 580b side to the out ball passage 663. The ball is discharged to the island facility side of the game hall through the ball removal guide unit 627 and the ball removal discharge passage 665, which are separate and independent from the above. As a result, only the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be detected by the out sensor 664 provided in the out ball passage 663, so that only the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be accurately detected. Can be counted. Therefore, the number of game balls B (safe balls) counted by the payout detection sensor 591 of the payout device 580 and the number of game balls B (out balls) counted by the out sensor 664 make it possible to obtain an accurate game ball B. It can be a pachinko machine 1 capable of calculating a payout rate (ball payout rate).

The number of game balls B (the number of out balls) counted by the out sensor 664 is driven into the game area 5a, and the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the gate 2003, the second starting opening 2004, and the big prize are won. The number of game balls B that have been accepted into the winning openings such as the opening 2005 and the winning opening 2006 and discharged from the game board 5, and after being driven into the game area 5a, they are not accepted by any winning opening. It is the sum of the number of game balls B received in the out port 1008 and discharged from the game board 5, and is the number of game balls B (number of shot balls) driven into the game area 5a. be.

Since the payout rate (ball payout rate) changes according to the game state, the payout rate within a predetermined period (for example, per unit time, per predetermined time, per day, etc.) is "payout within a predetermined period". Calculate as "number ÷ number of out balls within a predetermined period = payout rate within a predetermined period".

Further, according to the present embodiment, the board unit 620A of the main body frame 4 to which the game board 5 is detachably attached is provided with an out ball passage 663 through which the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 is distributed, and an out ball is provided. Since the game ball B circulating in the passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664 and the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be detected, the game board 5 detects the "out ball". It is not necessary to provide an out-ball detection unit, and the configuration of the game board 5 can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

Further, according to the present embodiment, there is a gap larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B between the rear end of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the rear base 662. The out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 are moved away from the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc., and the out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 are used for many game balls B. It is possible to reduce the influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc. due to electrical noise due to static electricity, induced current, etc. generated by the distribution of the game ball B, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the distribution of the game ball B. Can be.

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the game ball B whose flow speed is suppressed by the out ball rectifying unit 663b of the out ball passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664, the game ball B is distributed. Since the impact applied to the out sensor 664 can be weakened, it is possible to reduce the premature wear and damage of the out sensor 664.

Further, when the payout rate (ball payout rate) per predetermined time calculated from the number of safe balls per predetermined time and the number of out balls per predetermined time is displayed so that the player can visually recognize the game. Since the person wants to pay out many game balls B, if the displayed payout rate is large, it is possible to immediately recognize that the pachinko machine 1 has a high possibility that many game balls B will be paid out. It is possible to make it easier to select the pachinko machine 1 to be played. In addition, when the payout rate is displayed so as to be visible from the player side, if a fraudulent act such that a large number of game balls B are paid out is performed, the displayed payout rate becomes larger than usual. , Other players and the staff of the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can easily notice the fraudulent activity, so that the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrence against the fraudulent activity can be hesitated. Can be.

In addition, when the payout rate calculated from the number of safe balls and the number of out balls is displayed in a position that cannot be seen from the player side, the staff of the game hall can see the same reason as above. Can detect fraudulent activity. If the displayed payout rate is different from the normal value when the pachinko machine 1 is maintained, the inside of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, obstacle nail N, main control board 1310, payout control board 633, relay). Since there is a possibility of a defect in the board, connector, wiring cable, various sensors, etc.), it is possible to deal with the defect at an early stage and reduce the burden on the game hall side.

Further, since the out sensor 664 is provided in the out ball passage 663 in which the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 is distributed, a configuration for detecting the game ball B discharged to the game board 5 (for example,). It is not necessary to provide an out-ball detection unit), the cost for the game board 5 can be reduced, and the space for the game board 5 to detect the ejected game ball B is secured. By providing a directing device in the secured space, it is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) more entertaining to the player.

Further, since the ball ejection discharge passage 665 has a vertical guide portion 665b in which a plurality of protrusions 665d are alternately projected, the game ball B circulates through the vertical guide portion 665 b, so that the game ball B can be distributed. Since the speed can be suppressed, damage in the ball ejection discharge passage 665 due to the impact of the circulating game ball B, damage on the island equipment side of the game hall that receives the game ball B ejected from the ball ejection discharge passage 665, Etc. can be prevented.

Further, the out-ball rectifying section 663b that is meandering is provided in the out-ball passage 663, and the vertical guiding section 665b in which a plurality of protrusions 665d are projected is provided in the ball ejection / discharging passage 665, whereby the game ball B is provided. Since it is possible to suppress the distribution speed of the ball B, it is possible to reduce the electrical noise emitted from the game ball B circulating in the out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665. The influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, and the like can be reduced, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the distribution of the game ball B can be obtained.

Further, since the out-ball discharge port 663d and the ball-extraction discharge port 665c of the out-ball passage 663 and the ball-extraction discharge passage 665 are opened downward, the out-ball passage 663 and the ball-extraction discharge passage are opened. Since the game ball B is discharged downward from 665, it becomes difficult for the game ball B to collide with another pachinko machine, a wall, or the like provided behind the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility, and the other pachinko machines. It is possible to prevent the machine, the wall, etc. from being damaged. Further, since the game ball B is discharged downward from the out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665, the ejected game ball B is less likely to scatter, and the discharged game ball B is less likely to be scattered from the out ball passage 663 and the ball ejection discharge passage 665 on the island equipment side. The discharged game ball B can be easily collected.

Further, since the base unit 660 in which the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the out ball passage 663 are formed is provided below the portion of the main body frame 4 to which the game board 5 is attached, the game board 5 is provided with a game. Since the game ball B driven into the area 5a can be delivered to the out ball passage 663 of the base unit 660 only by discharging it downward, the configuration related to the discharge of the game ball B in the game board 5 is configured. The simple (simple) configuration can be made, and the cost of the game board 5 can be reduced.

Further, since the ball ejection port 665c of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the out ball ejection port 663d of the out ball passage 663 are provided behind the outer frame 2, the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the out ball ejection passage 663 Since it is possible to prevent the discharged game ball B from colliding with the outer frame 2, the game ball B vigorously circulating in the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the out ball passage 663 collides with the outer frame 2. It is possible to prevent the outer frame 2 from being damaged, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 which is not easily damaged.

Further, since the ball ejection port 665c of the ball ejection discharge passage 665 and the out ball ejection port 663d of the out ball passage 663 are provided behind the outer frame 2, a portion for collecting the game ball B on the island equipment side ( It is not necessary to advance the out receiving portion (out receiving portion, bucket, etc.) to a position where it overlaps with the outer frame 2, and it is possible to reduce the trouble of installing the pachinko machine 1 and the trouble of moving the pachinko machine 1.

[4-13a. Another embodiment of ball ejection in a substrate unit]
Next, another embodiment of ball ejection in the substrate unit 620A will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 117 and 118 and the like. FIG. 117 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which a guide piece is provided at the out ball discharge port of the out ball passage. FIG. 118 (a) is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which the out sensor is detachable, and FIG. 118 (b) is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the out sensor is removed in (a).

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 117, a guide piece 667 that guides the game ball B to the rear side is provided at the portion of the out ball discharge port 663d at the downstream end of the out ball passage 663 in the base unit 660. More specifically, in this embodiment, a merging portion 663e that joins the ball ejection discharge passage 665 is provided in the vicinity of the downstream end of the out ball passage 663. The merging portion 663e is open downward, and the end of the opening is an out ball discharge port 663d (ball ejection port 665c). The guide piece 667 projects shortly backward from the front wall at the out ball discharge port 663d.

According to the embodiment of FIG. 117, the game ball B discharged downward from the out ball discharge port 663d abuts on the guide piece 667, so that the discharge direction of the game ball B can be directed diagonally backward and downward. .. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island equipment of the game hall, the part (out receiving part, bucket,) for collecting the game ball B provided on the rear side (inside the island equipment) from the front of the island equipment. Etc.), the game ball B can be easily released to the island equipment side, and the game ball B can be reliably collected on the island equipment side.

Further, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 117, since the discharge direction of the game ball B can be directed diagonally backward and downward by the guide piece 667, the out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663 is provided in the main body frame 4. Even if the game board 5 is provided at a position close to directly below the game area 5a of the attached game board 5 (a position close to the front side in the island equipment), the game ball B can be reliably received by a bucket or the like in the island equipment. Therefore, since the out-ball passage 663 (out-ball discharge port 663d) can be arranged in the front portion as much as possible, the space behind the out-ball passage 663 in the main body frame 4 can be widened. Therefore, when the out-ball passage 663 is moved away from the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc., the out-ball passage 663 is caused by electrical noise due to static electricity, induced current, etc. generated by the circulation of many game balls B. The influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, and the like can be reduced, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the distribution of the game ball B can be obtained.

Subsequently, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 118, the out sensor 664 can be attached to and detached from below at the portion of the out ball discharge port 663d in the out ball passage 663. In this embodiment, a sensor mounting recess 663f formed at the downstream end of the lower guide portion 663c in the out ball passage 663 and opened downward so as to accommodate the out sensor 664, and an out sensor housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f. It is equipped with a sensor cover 668 that regulates the downward movement of the 664.

The sensor mounting recess 663f is formed at the lower end portion of the lower guide portion 663c connected to the downstream end of the out ball rectifying portion 663b in the out ball passage 663 of the base unit 660. Also in this embodiment, the base unit 660 is formed of a transparent member, and the inside of the out ball passage 663 can be visually recognized from the upper side or the lower side of the base unit 660.

The sensor cover 668 extends longer than the sensor mounting recess 663f and detects the main body portion 668a whose base end side is rotatably mounted on the base unit 660 and the out sensor 664 housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f in the main body portion 668a.

Have.

The sensor cover 668 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the base unit 660 with respect to the sensor mounting recess 663f, opposite to the out-ball rectifying section 663b. The locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 is locked to the locking portion 663g provided on the outer side of the out-ball rectifying portion 663b side with respect to the sensor mounting recess 663f in the base unit 660.

The sensor cover 668 has the locking claw portion 668c moved upward with the out sensor 664 housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f so that the detection hole of the out sensor 664 coincides with the out ball passage 663. By rotating and locking the locking claw portion 668c to the locking portion 663g and closing it, the main body portion 668a abuts on the lower surface of the out sensor 664, restricting the downward movement of the out sensor 664, and out. The sensor 664 can be attached to the base unit 660 (see FIG. 118 (a)). In this state, the through hole 668b of the sensor cover 668 coincides with the detection hole of the out sensor 664, and after the game ball B circulating through the out ball passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664, the through hole 668b is inserted. It is discharged downward through it. The through hole 668b of the sensor cover 668 also serves as the out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663.

When the out sensor 664 is replaced (removed), the locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 is operated to elastically deform the locking claw portion 668c to release the locking with the locking portion 663g. Then, by rotating and opening the sensor cover 668 around the base end side of the main body portion 668a so that the locking claw portion 668c moves downward, the main body portion 668a of the sensor cover 668 is opened on the lower surface of the out sensor 664. The out-sensor 664 can be removed from the sensor mounting recess 663f (see FIG. 118 (b)).

There is a certain amount of gap between the upper end surface of the outer frame lower assembly 40, the upper end of the connecting cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43, etc.) or the lower end of the main body frame 4. ing. As a result, even if the main body frame 4 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 2 while the sensor cover 668 is open, the sensor cover 668 does not come into contact with a dangerous object and the sensor cover 668 is prevented from being damaged. be able to.

According to the embodiment shown in FIG. 118, since the out sensor 664 detects all the game balls B driven into the game area 5a of the game board 5, many game balls B are distributed. As a result, the out sensor 664 may be worn out and damaged at an early stage, but as described above, the out sensor 664 can be attached and detached from below by opening the sensor cover 668, so that the out sensor 664 can be easily replaced. can.

Further, according to this embodiment, even if the main body frame 4 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 2 while the sensor cover 668 is open, the sensor cover 668 comes into contact with a contact-risk object such as the outer frame 2. It is possible to prevent the sensor cover 668 from being damaged. More specifically, the sensor cover 668 supports the out sensor 664 from below, but since many game balls B come into contact with the out sensor 664 from above, many game balls B come into contact with each other. There is a risk that the locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 will come off due to the vibration caused by the sensor cover 668, and the sensor cover 668 will open. When the sensor cover 668 is opened and the out sensor 664 is dropped downward during the game, the game ball B is detected by the out sensor 664 even though the game ball B is driven into the game area 5a. Therefore, the occurrence of an abnormality is notified by the main control board 1310 or the like. Upon notification of the occurrence of this abnormality, the staff of the game hall or the like will open the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 in order to confirm the abnormality, but the lower end of the open sensor cover 668 and the outer frame 2 Since there is a gap between the sensor cover 668 and the sensor cover, the main body frame 4 can be opened without the sensor cover 668 coming into contact with the contact risk, and the sensor cover 668 can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, according to the embodiment of FIG. 118, the base end side of the sensor cover 668 is rotatably attached to the base unit 660 at the outer portion of the sensor mounting recess 663f opposite to the out-ball rectifying section 663b. At the same time, since the base unit 660 is transparent, the inside of the out ball passage 663 can be clearly seen from below by opening the sensor cover 668 and removing the out sensor 664. Therefore, when the game ball B is jammed in the out ball passage 663, the inside of the out ball passage 663 can be visually recognized from the outside, so that the place where the game ball B is jammed can be identified at a glance. It is possible to eliminate the clogging of the game ball B at an early stage.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the upper surface of the door frame top unit 450 in the door frame 3 is formed so as to be substantially on the same surface as the upper surface of the outer frame upper member 30 in the outer frame 2. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be turned upside down and upright, and the out sensor 664 can be replaced by opening and closing the sensor cover 668, and the out ball passage 663 from the bottom side through the transparent base unit 660. It is possible to easily perform confirmation work inside or inside the ball ejection discharge passage 665.

Further, according to the present embodiment, even if the out sensor 664 is damaged, the out sensor 664 can be easily replaced, so that the game that has been interrupted due to the damage of the out sensor 664 can be restarted at an early stage. , It is possible to alleviate the irritation of the player due to the interruption of the game and suppress the decrease in the interest, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1 and reduce the burden on the game hall side. can.

Further, since one end of the sensor cover 668 is rotatably attached to the base unit 660, even if the sensor cover 668 is opened when the out sensor 664 is replaced, the sensor cover 668 is attached to the base unit 660. Since it is in a suspended state and does not fall off, it is possible to prevent the sensor cover 668 from being lost.

Further, in the sensor cover 668 holding the out sensor 664 from below, in the outer portion near the out ball passage 663 in which many game balls B in the base unit 660 flow, around the axis in the front-rear direction (horizontal direction). On the other hand, since it is rotatably attached to the base unit 660, the distribution of the downward force applied to the sensor cover 668 via the out sensor 664 due to the circulation of the game ball B is rotatably attached to the base unit 660 (one side). It is largely applied to the end side of the base unit 660), and is relatively small on the locking claw portion 668c side (the other end side) locked to the locking portion 663g of the base unit 660. Therefore, when many game balls B pass through the out sensor 664, even if a downward force acts on the sensor cover 668 via the out sensor 664, the sensor cover 664 is rotatably attached to one end side thereof. Since a large amount can be received, it becomes difficult to release the lock at the locking claw portion 668c on the other end side, and it is possible to reduce the possibility that the sensor cover 668 opens and the out sensor 664 falls off. ..

Further, the setting key switch 1311a can be turned on by turning the setting key cylinder 60 degrees counterclockwise from the initial position and operating the second ON operation, and the determination key ON signal can be set. Is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. Further, the setting key cylinder is set to return the setting key switch 1311a from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a can be turned off by rotating it 60 degrees counterclockwise and turning it off, and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on to the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder. The setting key switch 1311a is turned off by rotating the setting key cylinder 60 degrees clockwise so as to return to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). Can be turned off. This OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. In the present embodiment, two functions completely different from the function of turning on the setting key and the function of turning on the decision key can be realized only by a single setting key switch 1311a depending on the direction in which the setting key silin is rotated. The operation of turning on the setting key and the operation of turning on the decision key can be performed collectively by using only the setting key switch 1311a.

The front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b, and the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f are via openings formed in the cover body of the corresponding main control board box 1320. Although it is exposed, there is a "gap" formed in the front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b, and the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f and the corresponding openings. The structure is such that the wire intrusion prevention portion is molded into the cover body for each of these openings so that the setting change board 1311 and the main control board 1310 cannot be modified by invading the wire or the like. .. Although the setting display 1310g and the base monitor 1310h are housed in the internal space formed by the cover body and the base body and cannot be touched at all, the cover body is transparently molded as described above. Through the cover body, the set value displayed by the setting display 1310g and the number of balls displayed by the base monitor 1310h can be visually recognized.

In order to prevent unauthorized modification, a wiring pattern in which the setting key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, a wiring pattern in which the determination key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, and a setting key switch. As a wiring pattern in which the OFF signal of 1311a is transmitted and the wiring pattern in which the signal from the setting switching button 1311b is transmitted, the setting change board 1311 is kept away from each other (separated from each other). At the same time, the connection to the terminal of the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311 (the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control board 1310) is also formed separately, and various signals from the setting key switch 1311a are also formed on the main control board 1310. (That is, the wiring pattern in which the setting key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, the wiring pattern in which the determination key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, and the OFF of the setting key switch 1311a). The wiring pattern in which the signal of (1) is transmitted) and the wiring pattern in which the signal from the setting switching button 1311b is transmitted are also formed so as not to be close to each other (separate from each other), and the RAM clear switch 1310f is formed. The wiring pattern with which the signal from is transmitted is also formed so as not to be close to each other (separate from each other).

The setting key switch 1311a, the setting switching button 1311b, and the setting display 1310g will be briefly described. Here, first, the case of changing the setting of the setting value will be briefly described, and then the case of confirming and displaying the current setting value will be briefly described. In addition to changing the set value, the setting key is an important key that allows you to check the current set value, so only a limited number of people, including the manager of the game hall, can own it. Allowed and limited to 2-3 people.

When changing the setting of the set value, the main body frame is relative to the outer frame 2 when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). 4 is released, and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise and the first ON operation is performed. It is necessary that the "predetermined setting value change permission condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on is satisfied. That is, the person who actually changes the setting of the set value first confirms the state in which the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the state in which the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned off), and then the outer frame 2 is used. The work of opening the main body frame 4 is performed, and then the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and rotated 60 degrees clockwise to set by the first ON operation. The key switch 1311a is turned on and the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. As the above-mentioned "predetermined setting value change permission condition", it may be a condition that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is further operated and an operation signal is input. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs), the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key switch 1311a is used. The setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder, the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise and the first ON operation is performed, so that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON and the setting key is turned ON. The setting change of the set value may be executed when the "predetermined setting value change permission condition" that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated is satisfied.

A person who changes the setting of the set value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned off), and then sets the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2. Perform the opening work, then insert the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, rotate the setting key cylinder 60 degrees clockwise, and perform the first ON operation. The key switch 1311a is set to the setting key ON. Subsequently, the power switch 630a of FIG. 7 is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1. As a result, the setting key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU 1310a has the current set value stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (the set value 1 to the set value 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is first turned on. Of these, the set value) is displayed on the setting display 1310g, and the setting change permission lamp 1311c is switched from the off state to the on state.

When a person who changes the setting of the set value presses the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b, the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b of the setting changing board 1311 is sent from the setting changing board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. Is entered in. Each time the person who changes the setting of the set value presses the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b, the main control MPU 1310a sets the current setting value based on the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b of the setting change board 1311. When the value increases by 1 from the value of 1 and reaches the maximum value of the set value of 6, the value returns to the initial value of the set value of 1, the value is increased by 1 again, and the set value is displayed on the setting display 1310 g.

When determining the set value, the person who changes the setting of the set value rotates the setting key cylinder 120 degrees counterclockwise (that is, the setting key with the setting key switch 1311a turned on). Rotate 60 degrees counterclockwise to return from the cylinder rotation position to the original position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position that turns off the setting key switch 1311a), and then turn it off. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotated 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction). The signal of this determination key ON is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a stores the set value determined by changing the setting in the specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a.

The setting key cylinder is rotated 120 degrees counterclockwise (that is, the initial position (that is, the setting key) which is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The ON signal of the enter key may be input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 when the switch 1311a is returned to the setting key cylinder rotation position). After pressing the pressing operation part of the setting switching button 1311b to display the set value on the setting display 1310g, simply turn off the setting key switch 1311a to determine the setting value and remove the setting key from the setting key cylinder. It becomes possible to improve workability.

A person who changes the setting of the set value should return the setting key switch 1311a from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the enter key is turned on to the original position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch 1311a is turned off by rotating the setting key cylinder 60 degrees clockwise and turning it off. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a switches from the state of displaying the set value to the state of not displaying the set value to the setting display 1310 g, and switches from the state of turning on the setting change permission lamp 1311c to the state of turning off the setting value.

A person who changes the setting of the set value pulls out the setting key from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, closes the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2, and changes the setting of the setting value. To complete.

When confirming the currently set value, the outer frame 2 is used when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure that causes a momentary power failure). The main body frame 4 is opened, and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to turn the first ON. It is necessary to satisfy the "predetermined setting value display permission condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the operation. That is, the person who actually confirms and displays the currently set value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (a state in which power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure). , The work of opening the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 is performed, and then the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and rotated 60 degrees clockwise to perform the first operation. By turning on the setting key switch 1311a, the setting key is turned on.

The person who confirms and displays the currently set value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (a state in which power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure), and then the outer frame 2. Then, the main body frame 4 is opened, and then the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and rotated 60 degrees clockwise to perform the first ON operation. As a result, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. This setting key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU 1310a has the current set value stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (the set value 1 to the set value 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is first turned on. Of these, the set value) is displayed on the setting display 1310 g. At this time, the state in which the setting change permission lamp 1311c is turned off is maintained, and even if a person who confirms and displays the currently set setting value presses the pressing operation unit of the setting switching button 1311b, this pressing operation is performed. Correspondingly, the set value is not changed at all, and the content displayed on the setting display 1310 g is not changed either.

When the person who confirms and displays the currently set setting value completes the confirmation of the currently set setting value, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and the setting key is turned on. Turn the setting key switch 1311a 60 degrees counterclockwise so as to return it to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder) to turn it off. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310.

The main control MPU 1310a switches from the state of displaying the set value to the state of not displaying the set value to the setting display 1310g.

The person who confirms and displays the currently set setting value pulls out the setting key from the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, closes the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2, and currently sets the setting. Complete the work of confirming and displaying the set values.

As described above, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is the power when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). At the time of power recovery at the time of recovery, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is directed clockwise. While it is necessary that the setting key is turned on by the first ON operation after being rotated 60 degrees, the predetermined set value display permission condition is the pachinko machine as described above. The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key switch 1311a is set after the power of 1 is turned on or after the power is restored after the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). It is necessary that the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the key cylinder, the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise, and the first ON operation is performed to turn the setting key ON. As described above, the predetermined setting value change permission condition and the predetermined setting value display permission condition are such that the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted. There is a common requirement that the setting key is inserted into the switch, the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise, and the setting key is turned on by the first ON operation. The difference is that the set value change permission condition requires "at the time of power recovery", whereas the predetermined setting value display permission condition requires "after power recovery".

Here, to briefly explain the set value, the "set value" is a probability for determining whether or not it is a big hit by lottery, a probability for determining whether or not it is a small hit by lottery, and a normal probability from the time of change. It is possible to change the probability for determining the lottery when shifting to time, the distribution rate to the area that is advantageous to the player, etc., which is advantageous to the player (that is, to be acquired by the player). The probability (degree of advantage) that can increase the number of game balls B that can be played is preset. In the present embodiment, a setting value 1, a setting value 2, a setting value 3, a setting value 4, a setting value 5, and a setting value 6 are prepared in advance as setting values, and the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 are prepared in advance. The probability (degree of advantage) that is advantageous to the player is preset. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is of various tables used in various lottery determinations associated with set values (for example, a jackpot determination table in which the ratio of jackpot determination values indicating that a jackpot has been won is defined, a jackpot symbol). The big hit symbol determination table that defines the ratio of the judgment value of the decision, the small hit judgment table that specifies the ratio of the small hit judgment value that indicates that the small hit was won, and the ratio of the judgment value of the determination of the small hit symbol are specified. It is used to select the small hit symbol determination table, the normal time transition judgment table that defines the ratio of the judgment value of the transition decision from the probability change time to the normal time, etc.), or to use various distribution rates associated with the set value. Various tables (for example, a distribution table in which the distribution time is specified, a block that manages the drive of an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid, etc.) are selected. The various tables used in the various lottery determinations associated with the set values are assigned to the various determination values at a predetermined ratio. The various tables used in the various lottery determinations are set so that at least a part of the values are different from each other, and the various tables used in the various distribution rates are set so that at least a part of the values are different from each other. Some have different values based on the relationship between the table corresponding to the block that manages the drive of one electrical drive source and the table that corresponds to the block that manages the drive of another electrical drive source. Some are set to. Further, the above-mentioned setting values are six setting values (integers) in the range from the setting value 1 to the setting value 6, but the setting values may be smaller than this and may be in the larger range. It may be a thing. For example, it may be four setting values (integers) in the range from the setting value 1 to the setting value 4, or eight setting values (integers) in the range from the setting value 1 to the setting value 8.

As described above, the setting display 1310g not only displays the setting value, but also checks the contents of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a at the time of power recovery to determine whether or not there is an abnormality. If it is determined that there is an error, and if the main control side power off processing is not completed normally when the power is turned off, there is an error (or trust) in the contents stored in the RAM built in the unit. It is not possible to do this), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the alphabet E as an error display on the setting display 1310g.

Next, the base monitor 1310h will be briefly described. The base monitor 1310h is collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5 among the game balls B launched in the game area 5a. The number of balls of the game ball B is displayed. Of the game balls B launched into the game area 5a, the game ball B recovered by the out port 1008 is detected by the out sensor 664 (see FIG. 169 and the like), and this detection signal is transmitted via the panel relay board 1710. It is input to the main control MPU 1310a.

The main control MPU 1310a counts the number of balls of the game ball B collected by the out port 1008, stores the counting result (total number) in a specific area of the built-in RAM, and displays it on the base monitor 1310h. It has become.

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but this setting key switch 1311a was set from the initial position to the setting key switch 1311a. The setting key switch 1311a'which can rotate only within the range up to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the key is turned on may be used. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a'is counterclockwise so as to return from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a'can be turned on by turning it 60 degrees toward the direction and turning it off, and the signal of this decision key ON is from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. (The mode of the setting key switch 1311a'may be described as "variation example (1) of the determination key").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the setting change board 1311 has a pressing operation unit. A decision key button may be provided. In this case, the pressing operation unit of the enter key button is exposed through the opening formed in the cover body of the main control board box 1320 corresponding to the enter key button, and corresponds to the press operation portion of the enter key button. The wire intrusion prevention part covers the opening so that the setting change board 1311 and the main control board 1310 cannot be modified by invading the wire or the like through the opening and the "gap" formed in the opening. It will be a molded structure. When the pressing operation unit of the enter key button is pressed, this operation signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the press operation unit of the enter key button is pressed based on the detection signal from the enter key button, while the press operation unit of the enter key button is pressed. When the pressing operation is not performed, it can be determined that the enter key is not ON.

The position where the decision key button is arranged on the setting change board 1311 may be near the setting key switch 1311a or near the setting switching button 1311b. On the cover of the main control board box 1320, a sticker on which the name of each button is printed at the position corresponding to the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b so that the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b are not confused. (The name of each button may be molded on the cover instead of this sticker). Further, so that the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b are not confused, a button with a cover covering the pressing operation portion of either the enter key button or the setting switching button 1311b (to press the pressing operation portion). It is necessary to open the cover), or the color of the pressing operation unit may be different, or the outer shape of the enter key button and the setting switching button 1311b or the pressing operation may be adopted. A switch having a different shape of the portion may be adopted, or another type of switch that does not have a pressing operation portion may be adopted as the determination key button. Other types of switches that do not have a push-button as a decision key button include, for example, a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide part, a rotary switch having a rotation operation part, a rocker switch, a touch switch, and the like. You can raise the switch. Further, when the decision key button and the setting switching button 1311b are provided on the setting change board 1311, the wiring pattern to the decision key button and the wiring pattern to the setting switching button 1311b are routed in order to prevent unauthorized modification. The setting change board 1311 is formed so as not to be close to each other (separate from each other), and the connection to the connector SMCN terminal of the setting change board 1311 (the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control board 1310) is also separated. Also in the main control board 1310, the wiring pattern in which the detection signal from the enter key button is transmitted and the wiring pattern in which the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b is transmitted should not be brought close to each other ( It is formed (separated from each other). Further, when the decision key button is provided on the setting change board 1311, the setting key switch 1311a may be rotated only in a range extending from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The setting key switch 1311a'can be used (the mode of the decision key button (the mode of the setting key switch 1311a' may be included) may be described as "a modification of the decision key (2)").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. Detection from the handle touch sensor 192 that detects whether or not the finger is touching, and detection from the single-shot button operation sensor 194 that detects whether or not the launch of the game ball B is forcibly stopped by the player's will. The signal may be branched at the payout control board 633 and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633, and it may be determined whether or not the determination key is ON based on these detection signals. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the determination key is ON when the palm or finger is touching the handle 195 based on the detection signal from the handle touch sensor 192, while the palm or finger is on the handle 195. When not touching, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON, and / or when the launch of the game ball B is forcibly stopped based on the detection signal from the single-shot button operation sensor 194, the decision key is ON. On the other hand, when the launch of the game ball B is not forcibly stopped, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON (even if the mode of the handle touch sensor (including the mode of the single-shot button operation sensor) is included. Good) may be described as "variation example (3) of decision key").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the launch control unit of the payout control board 633 described later The firing reference pulse is branched from the firing timing control circuit provided in 633b at the payout control board 633 and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633, and the determination key is determined based on these firing reference pulses. It may be determined whether or not it is ON. The firing reference pulse is a reference pulse in which 100 game balls B can be launched toward the game area 5a per minute, and is generated based on a clock signal from the oscillation circuit. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the determination key is ON when the emission reference pulse from the payout control board 633 is input, while it is determined that the determination key is not ON when the emission reference pulse is not input. (The mode of the emission reference pulse may be described as "variation example (4) of the determination key").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but the movement of the player sitting on the opposite side of the pachinko machine 1 was detected. When a range-finding sensor capable of performing is provided on the game board 5, and the detection signal from the range-finding sensor is input to the peripheral control board 1510 via the relay board, the detection signal from the range-finding sensor is input. It may be branched in the relay board and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 via the relay board, and it may be determined whether or not the determination key is ON based on this detection signal. In the distance measuring sensor, the light emitted by the light emitting unit passes through the transparent glass plate 162 of the glass unit 160 in the door frame 3 and is reflected on the player's arm or hand within a predetermined distance dimension. The reflected light passes through the transparent glass plate 162 again and is received by the light receiving unit, so that the movement of the player can be detected. In this case, when the detection signal from the ranging sensor is input via the relay board, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not there is an operation based on this detection signal, and when it is determined that there is an operation, the determination key is turned ON.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a) which is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a provided on the setting change board 1311 is turned on is turned on. Rotate 60 degrees counterclockwise to return to the rotation position) to turn it off, and then rotate it 60 degrees counterclockwise) to turn it on again to set the key switch 1311a. The decision key can be turned ON, and the signal of this decision key ON is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. However, this setting key switch 1311a is used as the main control board. It may be prepared for 1310 (the mode of the setting key switch may be described as "a modification of the determination key (18)").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a) which is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a provided on the setting change board 1311 is turned on is turned on. Rotate 60 degrees counterclockwise to return to the rotation position) and turn it off, and then rotate it 60 degrees counterclockwise) to turn it on again to set the key switch 1311a. The decision key can be turned ON, and the signal of this decision key ON is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. However, this setting key switch 1311a is used as the main control board. In addition to preparing for 1310, the setting key switch 1311a can be turned off by rotating the setting key switch 1311a from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder to the initial position and turning it off. By inputting the signal to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the determination key is ON when the OFF signal is input, while the OFF signal is input. If not, it can be determined that the enter key is not ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be set as the setting key switch 1311a'that can rotate only the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (setting key switch). 2 (may include the aspect of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "a modification of the determination key (19)").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the main control board 1310 has a pressing operation unit. A decision key button may be provided. In this case, the pressing operation unit of the enter key button is exposed via the opening formed in the cover body of the main control board box 1320 corresponding to the enter key button, and corresponds to the press operation portion of the enter key button. A structure in which a wire intrusion prevention portion is molded into the cover body with respect to the opening so that the wire or the like cannot invade through the "gap" formed in the opening and the main control board 1310. Become. When the pressing operation unit of the enter key button is pressed, this operation signal is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the press operation unit of the enter key button is pressed based on the detection signal from the enter key button, while the press operation unit of the enter key button is pressed. When the pressing operation is not performed, it can be determined that the enter key is not ON.

The position where the decision key button is arranged on the main control board 1310 may be near the RAM clear switch 1310f. On the cover body of the main control board box 1320, a sticker on which the name of each button is printed at the position corresponding to the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310f so that the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310f are not confused. (The name of each button may be molded on the cover instead of this sticker). Further, so that the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310f are not confused, a button with a cover covering the pressing operation portion of either the enter key button or the RAM clear switch 1310f (to press the pressing operation unit). It is necessary to open the cover.), The color of the pressing operation unit may be different, or the outer shape of the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310f or the pressing operation may be adopted. A switch having a different shape of the portion may be adopted, or another type of switch that does not have a pressing operation portion may be adopted as the determination key button. Other types of switches that do not have a push-button as a decision key button include, for example, a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide part, a rotary switch having a rotation operation part, a rocker switch, a touch switch, and the like. You can raise the switch. Further, when the decision key button and the RAM clear switch 1310f are provided on the main control board 1310, the wiring pattern to the decision key button and the wiring pattern to the RAM clear switch 1310f are routed in order to prevent unauthorized modification. The main control board 1310 is formed so as not to approach each other (separate from each other). Further, when the decision key button is provided on the main control board 1310, the setting key switch 1311a may be rotated only in a range extending from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. A possible setting key switch 1311a'may be used (aspect 2 of the decision key button (aspect of the setting key switch 1311a' may be included) may be described as "a modification of the decision key (20)").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the RAM clear switch to which the main control MPU 1310a is input. Whether or not the determination key is ON may be determined based on the operation signal from 1310f. As will be described later, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated at the time of power recovery (to be exact, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f). ), When the setting is changed so that the setting value can be changed (when the main control MPU 1310a performs the setting change processing described later), the main control MPU 1310a has a predetermined area (RAM) of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a. Be sure to clear the area excluding the specific area out of all the areas of.). Therefore, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed, the main control MPU 1310a always clears a predetermined area of the RAM built in the RAM clear switch 1310f. Can be diverted as the determination key, and the main control MPU 1310a determines that the determination key is ON when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f. On the other hand, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not pressed based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f provided on the payout control board 633, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON. This makes it possible to improve security with respect to the presence / absence of the determination key ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be set as the setting key switch 1311a'that can rotate only the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (RAM clear switch). 3 (may include the aspect of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "a modification of the determination key (21)"). The period during which the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed is limited to when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f is a payout control board 633, as will be described later. Since it is input to the payout control MPU, when the RAM clear switch 1310f is configured to also have the function of the error canceling switch described later, the payout control board 633 does not need the error canceling switch.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise) to turn the decision key ON. This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the gate 2003 provided on the game board 5 Gate sensor 2801, various sensors of various winning openings (for example, second starting opening sensor 2401, large winning opening sensor 2402, accessory winning opening sensor 2601, general winning opening sensor 3001, first starting opening sensor 3002), main body frame 4 The main control MPU 1310a to which the detection signal from the out sensor 664 of the above is input may determine whether or not the determination key is ON based on these detection signals. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a'may be set as the setting key switch 1311a'which can rotate only the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (various sensors, etc.). (The aspect of the setting key switch 1311a'may be included) may be described as "a modification of the determination key (22)"). In this case, the person who changes the setting of the set value opens the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 and sends the game ball B to the gate 2003 in order to turn on the decision key, or various winning openings. It is necessary to send the game ball B to the out port 1008 or to send the game ball B to the out port 1008.

The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise) to turn the decision key ON. This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The operation of the movable body (feature) is controlled by controlling the drive of an electric drive source such as a solenoid, and the movable body (feature) is controlled based on the detection signal from the optical sensor (photo sensor, ranging sensor, etc.). When determining the original position, the operating position, or the like, the main control MPU 1310a may determine whether or not the determination key is ON based on the detection signal from the optical sensor. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a'may be set as the setting key switch 1311a'which can rotate only the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (optical combination). The mode of the object sensor (may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "a modification of the decision key (23)"). In this case, the person who changes the setting of the set value opens the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 in order to turn on the decision key, and the optical sensor is in the original position of the movable body (role).

The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, an illegal magnetometer in the game area 5a was detected. The main control MPU 1310a to which the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050 is input may determine whether or not the determination key is ON based on the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a'may be set so that the setting key switch 1311a'can be rotated only in a range extending from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (of the magnetic sensor). A mode (may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as “a modification of the decision key (24)”).

This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the pachinko machine 1 was shaken or hit. As a result, the pachinko machine 1 is vibrated to change the course of the game ball B flowing down the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5 and enter various winning openings and gates (gates) provided in the game board 5. When a vibration sensor for detecting fraudulent activity to make a ball is provided on the game board 5, the main control MPU1310a determines the presence or absence of fraudulent activity based on the detection signal from the vibration sensor, and based on the detection signal from the vibration sensor. It may be determined whether or not the determination key is ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a'may be set so that the setting key switch 1311a'can be rotated only in a range extending from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (vibration sensor). A mode (may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as “a modification of the decision key (25)”).

The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise) to turn the decision key ON. This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the pachinko machine 1 was irradiated with radio waves to play a game. The game board 5 and the payout device 580 are provided with radio sensors for detecting fraudulent acts of illegally acquiring the game ball B by causing the various sensors of the various winning openings provided on the board 5 and the various sensors provided on the payout device 580 to malfunction. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a may determine the presence / absence of fraudulent activity based on the detection signal from the radio wave sensor, and may determine the presence / absence of the determination key ON based on the detection signal from the radio wave sensor. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a'may be set so that the setting key switch 1311a'can be rotated only in a range extending from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (of the radio wave sensor). A mode (may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "a modification of the decision key (26)").

The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the second ON operation (rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to turn OFF, and then rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise). This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit unit 350 The detection signal from the pressure detection sensor 373 that detects the pressing operation of the above, and the detection signal from the contact detection sensor main body 358 that detects the contact of the contact operation unit 302 of the effect operation unit 350 are input to the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral control board 1510 may be branched and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, and the main control MPU 1310a may determine whether or not the determination key is ON based on these detection signals.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 are housed in the internal space of the main control board box 1320 composed of the cover body and the base body, but the setting change board 1311 is different. It may be housed in a body setting change board box and placed around or adjacent to the main control board box 1320. In the main control board box 1320, the cover body and the base body are crimped by a one-way screw or the like in the crimped portion. This caulking part is a sealing mechanism and is provided with a plurality of parts. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body and the base body with a one-way screw or the like in the caulking portion using one sealing mechanism, and then, in order to open the main control board box 1320, the main control board box 1320 can be closed. The sealing mechanism needs to be destroyed. That is, the cover body cannot be removed from the base body unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed. Such a structure of the main control board box 1320 can also be applied to the structure of the setting change board box. In this case, although the front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the pressing operation unit of the enter key button are exposed through the openings formed in the cover body of the corresponding main control board box 1320. , The setting change board 1311 can be modified by intruding a wire or the like from the "gap" formed in the front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the opening corresponding to the pressing operation portion of the enter key button. The structure is such that the wire intrusion prevention portion is molded into the cover body with respect to the opening so as not to be possible. Note that, unlike the structure of the main control board box 1320 described above, the structure of the setting change board box is different from the structure of the main control board box 1320 described above, and when the cover body is configured to be open or closed from the base body, the structure of the base body is relative to the base body. A setting change board cover body open / close switch capable of detecting the opening of the cover body may be provided. In this case, the detection signal from the open / close switch for the setting change board cover may be configured to be directly input to the main control board 1310, or may be (indirectly) input to the main control board 1310 via the setting change board 1311. It may be configured to be. The case where the cover body is released from the base body based on the detection signal from the setting change board cover body open / close switch can be included in the above-mentioned predetermined setting value change permission condition (setting change board box). The embodiment may be described as “a modification of the determination key (28)”).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the terminal of the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311 and the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control board 1310 are configured to be connected, and the setting key switch 1311a is set in order to prevent unauthorized modification. The wiring pattern in which the key ON signal is transmitted, the wiring pattern in which the determination key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, the wiring pattern in which the OFF signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, and the setting switching button 1311b. As a wiring pattern to which the signal from is transmitted, the setting change board 1311 is formed so as not to be close to each other (separate from each other), and the terminal (main control) of the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311 is formed. The connection to the connector MSCN terminal of the board 1310 is also formed separately, and the wiring pattern (that is, the setting key ON of the setting key switch 1311a) in which various signals from the setting key switch 1311a are transmitted also in the main control board 1310. (Wiring pattern in which the signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, the wiring pattern in which the signal of the decision key ON of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, and the wiring pattern in which the signal of OFF of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted) and the signal from the setting switching button 1311b. Was formed so that the wiring pattern and the wiring pattern to be transmitted are not close to each other (separated from each other), but the wiring pattern in which the setting key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted and the setting key switch Regarding the wiring pattern in which the determination key ON signal of 1311a is transmitted, one of the wiring patterns is via the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311 and the other connector provided on the setting change board 1311 separately. , The connector of the main control board 1310 may be connected to another connector provided on the main control board 1310 separately from the MSCN (connection between boards), and the other connector provided on the setting change board 1311 and the main control board may be connected. The other connector provided in 1310 may be electrically connected via a harness (the mode of wiring the wiring pattern may be described as "variation example (29) of the determination key").

Further, from the above-mentioned modified examples (1) to (29) of the determination key, an embodiment selected and combined as appropriate may be adopted. May be described).

Further, in the above-mentioned set values, in addition to the probability for determining whether or not a big hit is a lottery and the probability for determining whether or not a small hit is a lottery, the lottery is determined when shifting from the probability change time to the normal time. It is possible to change the probability of Probability (degree of advantage) is preset. In the present embodiment, a setting value 1, a setting value 2, a setting value 3, a setting value 4, a setting value 5, and a setting value 6 are prepared in advance as setting values, and the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 are prepared in advance. The probability (degree of advantage) that is advantageous to the player is preset. By the way, although the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment has a plurality of set values from the set value 1 to the set value 6, the other pachinko machines have a probability (degree of advantage) that is advantageous to the player. Some have a single preset value. That is, a game specification such as the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in which a probability (advantage) that is advantageous to the player exists as a plurality of setting values in advance and the setting needs to be changed, is advantageous to the player. There is a game specification in which the probability (degree of advantage) exists only in a single setting value in advance and the setting does not need to be changed at all. However, if the hardware configuration of the main control board 1310 is changed according to such game specifications and the hardware configuration of the setting change board 1311 is changed or not used, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 are used. Will depend on the game specifications, and therefore will have a main control board 1310 and a setting change board 1311 having similar or different hardware configurations depending on the game specifications. Therefore, it is required that the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 can be used in common without depending on the game specifications, that is, without changing the design of the hardware configuration.

For example, in a game specification in which only a single set value exists in advance and the setting change is not necessary at all, the probability that the set value is advantageous to the player (degree of advantage) is the probability that the set value is advantageous to the player (degree of advantage). Since it is not necessary to use it at all, the setting value 1, the setting value 2, the setting value 3, the setting value 4, the setting value 5, and the setting value 6 should be assigned as the following contents by design change by the software. Can be done.

For example, after the main control MPU 1310a clears a predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a (an area excluding a specific area among all the areas of the RAM), a plurality of actual machine confirmation operation patterns can be set (after the RAM is cleared). It can be used as a set value (which can give variation to the starting method of the pachinko machine 1). In this case, for the operation of the movable body (accessory) controlled by the main control MPU1310a and the lighting of the light emitting body such as a lamp or LED, the setting value 1 is set to "all operations (movable body (role)). The actual machine confirmation operation pattern 1 that specifies "operation of the object), lighting of the light emitter)" is assigned, and the actual machine confirmation operation pattern 2 that specifies "operation of the movable body (role)" is assigned and set as the setting value 2. The actual machine confirmation operation pattern 3 that specifies "lighting of the light emitting body" is assigned as the value 3, and the "detailed operation of the movable body (role) (variable movement speed, movement over the entire operating area, etc.) is assigned as the setting value 4. The actual machine confirmation operation pattern 4 that specifies "check for interference with the structure and other movable bodies (roles), operation order with other movable bodies (roles), etc.)" is assigned, and the setting value 5 is " An actual machine confirmation operation pattern 5 for specifying "lighting of the light emitter in units of one light emitter (lighting of the light emitter in units of predetermined output ports of the main control MPU 1310a (that is, for each output port)") is assigned, and "lighting of the light emitter" is assigned as the setting value 6. The actual machine confirmation operation pattern 6 that specifies "no operation" is assigned (the mode of the change setting of the actual machine confirmation operation after clearing the RAM may be described as "variation example (1) by common hardware configuration"). The main control MPU 1310a operates a movable body (accessory) and lights a light emitting body such as a lamp or an LED by repeatedly performing an actual machine confirmation operation after clearing the RAM and a timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a is a movable body that is controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 according to the content (actual machine confirmation operation pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. It is possible to perform the operation of (the accessory) and the lighting of the light emitting body. Depending on the mode of the change setting of the actual machine confirmation operation after the RAM is cleared, the starting method of the pachinko machine 1 after the RAM is cleared can be varied.

Further, for example, it can be used as a setting value capable of setting a plurality of times from the end of the change of the symbol to the demonstration (demo effect performed in the player waiting state). In this case, the time setting pattern 1 that specifies "10 seconds" is assigned as the setting value 1, the time setting pattern 2 that specifies "15 seconds" is assigned as the setting value 2, and "20 seconds" is assigned as the setting value 3. The time setting pattern 3 that specifies "" is assigned, the time setting pattern 4 that specifies "25 seconds" is assigned as the setting value 4, and the time setting pattern 5 that specifies "30 seconds" is assigned as the setting value 5. A time setting pattern 6 that specifies "35 seconds" as the setting value 6 is assigned (a modification of the setting mode for changing the time from the end of the symbol change to the player waiting state is "a modification example by a common hardware configuration (2). ) ”). The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a can start the demonstration at a time (time setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. Depending on the mode of changing the time from the end of the change of the symbol to the state of waiting for the player, it is possible to give a variation to the time from the end of the change of the symbol to the demonstration.

Further, for example, it can be used as a setting value capable of setting a plurality of contents of a demonstration (demo effect performed in a player waiting state) performed after the end of the change of the symbol. In this case, the demo effect setting pattern 1 that specifies "comical effect" is assigned as the setting value 1, and the demo effect setting pattern 1 that specifies "comical effect, motion effect of the movable body (role)" is assigned as the setting value 2. 2 is assigned, and a demo effect setting pattern 3 that specifies "serious effect" as a setting value 3 is assigned, and a demo effect setting pattern that specifies "serial effect, motion effect of a movable body (character)" as a setting value 4. 4 is assigned, and the demo effect setting pattern 5 that specifies "historical drama style effect" is assigned as the setting value 5, and the demo effect setting that specifies "historical drama style effect, movable body (character)" as the setting value 6. Pattern 6 is assigned (the mode of setting the change of the content of the demo effect may be described as "modification example (3) by common hardware configuration"). The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a can perform a demonstration with a demo effect (demo effect setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. Depending on the mode of changing the content of the demo effect, it is possible to give variation to the content of the demo effect performed after the end of the change of the symbol.

Further, for example, it can be used as a setting value capable of setting a plurality of default volumes adjusted by the volume adjustment switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510. By rotating the volume control switch, you can increase or decrease the volume from the default volume. In this case, the volume setting pattern 1 that specifies "volume 1" is assigned as the setting value 1, the volume setting pattern 2 that specifies "volume 2" is assigned as the setting value 2, and the "volume 3" is assigned as the setting value 3. The volume setting pattern 3 for specifying "volume 4" is assigned, the volume setting pattern 4 for specifying "volume 4" is assigned as the setting value 4, and the volume setting pattern 5 for specifying "volume 5" is assigned as the setting value 5. A volume setting pattern 6 that specifies "volume 6" is assigned as the setting value 6 (the mode of setting the change of the default volume may be described as "variation example (4) by common hardware configuration"). The volume is set to increase from the set value 1 to the set value 6. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a is set to the default volume with a volume (volume setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. In addition, the default volume of "Volume 1" assigned to the setting value 1 is moved in the direction in which the volume adjustment switch is turned down (moved in the direction opposite to the direction in which the volume is turned up), and the movement to the minimum volume side end is completed. When the volume is adjusted to the minimum side volume, the sound may be muted, or the volume may be such that the sound can be recognized when the player stops in front of the pachinko machine. In addition, the default volume of "Volume 6" assigned to the set value 6 is moved in the direction in which the volume adjustment switch is increased (moved in the direction opposite to the direction in which the volume is decreased), and the movement to the maximum volume side end is completed. When the volume is adjusted to the maximum volume, the volume may be the maximum volume or the volume may be a predetermined ratio (for example, 85%) of the maximum volume. Depending on the mode of changing the default volume, the default volume adjusted by the volume adjustment switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510 can be varied.

Further, for example, it can be used as a setting value capable of setting a plurality of volume of the error notification sound in error notification such as various defects, gotos, and errors. Various error notification sounds cannot be adjusted by operating the volume adjustment switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510 (that is, those that do not depend on it), and a pachinko machine that emits error notification sounds by setting the maximum volume is used in the game hall. Although it is easy for a staff member such as a clerk to notice, it may be jarring to a player who is playing a game with another pachinko machine. Therefore, a device capable of adjusting the volume of various error notification sounds is also required. In this case, the error notification volume setting pattern 1 that specifies "error notification volume 1" is assigned as the setting value 1, and the error notification volume setting pattern 2 that specifies "error notification volume 2" is assigned as the setting value 2. , The error notification volume setting pattern 3 that specifies "error notification volume 3" is assigned as the setting value 3, the error notification volume setting pattern 4 that specifies "volume 4" is assigned as the setting value 4, and "error notification volume setting pattern 4" is assigned as the setting value 5. The error notification volume setting pattern 5 that specifies "error notification volume 5" is assigned, and the error notification volume setting pattern 6 that specifies "error notification volume 6 (maximum volume)" is assigned as the setting value 6 (error notification volume volume). The mode of the change setting may be described as "variation example (5) by common hardware configuration"). It should be noted that the set value 1 (the volume that does not mute and the volume at which the error notification sound can be recognized when stopped in front of the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound) to the setting value 6 (the maximum volume and the maximum volume). The volume of the error notification sound is set to increase toward (the volume at which the error notification sound can be sufficiently recognized even if the distance from the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound is several meters). The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a controls to emit an error notification sound at the volume of the error notification sound (error notification volume setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. Depending on the mode of changing the volume of the error notification sound, the volume of the error notification sound in the error notification can be varied.

Further, for example, it can be used as a setting value at which a plurality of default brightness of a light emitter such as a lamp or an LED can be set. The brightness can be increased or decreased from the default brightness for the light emitter to be controlled by the main control MPU 1310a. In this case, the default brightness setting pattern 1 that specifies "brightness 1" is assigned as the setting value 1, the default brightness setting pattern 2 that specifies "brightness 2" is assigned as the setting value 2, and "brightness 1" is assigned as the setting value 3. A default brightness setting pattern 3 that specifies "brightness 3" is assigned, a default brightness setting pattern 4 that specifies "brightness 4" is assigned as a setting value 4, and a default brightness setting pattern that specifies "brightness 5" as a setting value 5. 5 is assigned, and the default brightness setting pattern 6 that specifies "brightness 6" as the setting value 6 is assigned (the mode of setting the change of the default brightness may be described as "variation example (6) by common hardware configuration". be). The main control MPU 1310a adjusts the brightness of the light emitter by repeatedly performing the main control side timer interrupt process described later for changing the default brightness, and turns on, blinks, gradation points, etc. of the light emitter. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a is the target to be controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the default brightness (default brightness setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. It is possible to adjust the brightness of the illuminant to turn on, blink, and make a gradation point of the illuminant. Depending on the mode of changing the content of the default brightness, the default brightness of a light emitter such as a lamp or an LED can be varied.

Further, for example, it can be used as a setting value capable of setting a plurality of brightness of a light emitter such as a lamp or an LED in error notification such as various defects, gotos, and errors. An error notification brightness setting pattern 1 that specifies "error notification brightness 1" is assigned as the setting value 1 to the lamp controlled by the main control MPU 1310a, and "error notification brightness 2" is assigned as the setting value 2. The specified error notification brightness setting pattern 2 is assigned, the error notification brightness setting pattern 3 that specifies "error notification brightness 3" is assigned as the setting value 3, and the error notification that specifies "error notification brightness 4" as the setting value 4 is assigned. The brightness setting pattern 4 is assigned, and the error notification brightness setting pattern 5 that specifies "error notification brightness 5" is assigned as the setting value 5. The error notification that specifies "error notification brightness 6 (maximum brightness)" as the setting value 6 is assigned. The brightness setting pattern 6 is assigned (the mode of setting the change of the brightness of the light emitter in the error notification may be described as "variation example (7) by common hardware configuration"). It should be noted that the lamp changes from the set value 1 (the brightness of the lamp is not turned off, but the brightness of the lamp is low and the lamp can recognize the error notification when stopped in front of the pachinko machine) to the set value 6 (maximum brightness). The brightness is set to be high. The main control MPU 1310a adjusts the brightness of the light emitter by repeatedly performing the main control side timer interrupt process described later for setting the change of the brightness of the light emitter in the error notification, and turns on, blinks, gradation points, etc. of the light emitter. conduct. The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a is the target to be controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the error notification brightness (error notification brightness setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. It is possible to adjust the brightness of the light emitting body to turn on, blink, and make a gradation point of the light emitting body. Depending on the mode of changing the brightness of the light emitting body in the error notification, the brightness of the light emitting body such as a lamp or an LED in the error notification can be varied.

Further, for the various setting values assigned to the above-mentioned modification examples (1) to (7) due to the common hardware configuration, the setting value display permission condition predetermined in the setting value confirmation display processing described later performed by the main control MPU 1310a is satisfied. Occasionally, it is displayed on the setting display 1310g, but it may always be displayed on the setting display 1310g from the time when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on to the time when the power is turned off (setting value display). The embodiment may be described as "modification example (8) due to common hardware configuration").

Further, any one of the above-mentioned modification examples (1) to (8) based on the common hardware configuration may be appropriately selected and adopted in the above-mentioned modification key modification example (30).

Further, the above-mentioned predetermined setting value change permission condition is applied to the outer frame 2 when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). The main body frame 4 is opened, and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to perform the first ON operation. Therefore, it was necessary that the setting key was turned on. When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the main control MPU 1310a determines a specific area of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power-on processing described later. Clear except for, and then proceed with the game by setting interrupt permission and so on. Further, when the above-mentioned predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied at the time of power recovery of the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU 1310a performs the setting change processing in the main control side power-on processing described later to perform the setting change processing of the main control built-in RAM. Clear all areas except for specific areas, and then proceed with the game by setting interrupt permission and so on. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the above-mentioned predetermined set value change permission condition is satisfied when the pachinko machine 1 is restored to power. In either case, the main control MPU 1310a clears all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area in the main control side power-on processing described later, and then advances the game by setting interrupt permission and the like. It will be. Therefore, as the above-mentioned predetermined setting value change permission condition, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs), the outer frame 2 is used. The main body frame 4 is opened, and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to perform the first ON operation. By doing so, in addition to the setting key being turned on, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f may be pressed (a may be described as "a modification of a predetermined setting value change permission condition"). be).

Further, the above-mentioned predetermined set value display permission condition is applied to the outer frame 2 when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after the power is restored after the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). The main body frame 4 is opened, and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to perform the first ON operation. Therefore, it was necessary that the setting key was turned on. When the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied, the main control MPU 1310a sets and displays the current set value set in the set value confirmation display process performed as one process of the main control side timer interrupt process described later. Display on the vessel 1310 g. Further, as described above, in the RAM clear switch 1310f, the pressing operation unit needs to be pressed when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and the pressing operation period is limited. Therefore, as the above-mentioned predetermined setting value display permission condition, the outer frame 2 is used when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). The main body frame 4 is opened, and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to perform the first ON operation. By doing so, in addition to the setting key being turned on, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f may not be pressed (when described as "a modification of a predetermined setting value display permission condition"). There is). In this case, when the modification of the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied, the main control MPU 1310a does not perform the set value confirmation display process as one of the main control side timer interrupt processes described later, but the main control side power supply described later. In the on-time processing, the game is advanced by performing the initial setting and the start setting of the built-in WDT before the initial setting and the start setting, and then performing the interrupt permission setting and the like. Note that the main control MPU 1310a does not yet set the interrupt enable when the preset value display permission condition modification is satisfied and the set value confirmation display process is performed. Therefore, the main control side timer interrupt process is performed. Instead, the detection signal from the main body frame open switch for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key are inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is initially set. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by turning the setting key switch 1311a 60 degrees clockwise from the position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a) and performing the first ON operation. The signal of the setting key ON from the setting key switch 1311a is read and is not stored in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as the input information described later. Therefore, the main control MPU 1310a opens the main body frame for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 when a modification of the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied and the set value confirmation display process is performed. The detection signal from the switch and the setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a are read.

By adopting both the above-mentioned modified example of the predetermined set value change permission condition and the above-mentioned modified example of the predetermined set value display permission condition, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after (occurrence of momentary power failure). The pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed on the premise that the setting key is turned on by the key cylinder being rotated 60 degrees clockwise and the first ON operation. Occasionally, the main control MPU 1310a performs a setting change process in the main control side power-on processing described later to clear all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area, and then sets interrupt permission and the like. While the game progresses, when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not pressed, the main control MPU 1310a performs a set value confirmation display process in the main control side power-on processing described later, and then performs a set value confirmation display process. The game progresses by setting the interruption permission. By adopting this aspect, the main control MPU 1310a does not perform the set value confirmation display process even once when the progress of the game is started. That is, when the main control MPU 1310a starts the progress of the game by setting the interrupt permission or the like, the current set value set is never displayed on the setting display 1310g. The main control MPU 1310a is collected by the out ball passage 663 of the main body frame 4 via the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5 in the ball number counting process of the main control side power-on processing described later. The number of balls of the game ball B that has been counted is counted and output to the base monitor 1310h in the port output process of the main control side power-on processing described later, and the number of balls of the game ball B collected by the out port 1008 is calculated by the base monitor 1310h. Display on. Therefore, the current set value displayed by the setting display 1310g may be displayed on the above-mentioned base monitor 1310h (may be described as "a modification of how to use the base monitor"). .. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a displays the current set value set in the period from when the power is restored to when the progress of the game is started by setting the interrupt permission or the like using the base monitor 1310h. At the same time, when the progress of the game is started by setting the interrupt permission after the power is restored, the number of balls of the game ball B collected by the out port 1008 (out ball passage 663 of the main body frame 4) is displayed. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the setting display 1310 g, which can contribute to cost reduction.

In addition, any one of the above-mentioned modified example of the predetermined set value change permission condition, the above-mentioned modified example of the predetermined set value display permission condition, and the above-mentioned modified example of the method of using the base monitor is appropriately selected. It may be selected and adopted in the above-mentioned modification key modification (30).

Further, any one of the above-mentioned modified example of the predetermined set value change permission condition, the above-mentioned modified example of the predetermined set value display permission condition, and the above-mentioned modified example of the method of using the base monitor is appropriately selected. It may be selected and adopted in the modification examples (1) to (8) by the above-mentioned common hardware configuration.

However, the mis-sticking prevention portion 2810c can specify the sticking direction of the gate seal 2811, and the gate seal 2811 is in the normal orientation (the direction in which the notch 2811a of the Kate-seal 2811 coincides with the mis-sticking prevention portion 2810c). Can be pasted. When the gate seal 2811 is turned upside down and is to be attached to the attachment recess 2810b, a part of the gate seal 2811 protrudes from the attachment recess 2810b due to the erroneous attachment prevention portion 2810c, and the gate is directed to the operator. It is possible to notice the erroneous sticking of the sticker 2811.

In the sticking recess 2810b, a portion on the left end side and an oblique portion of the erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c are set as a contact surface for sticking the gate seal 2811. As a result, it is possible to secure a clearance for attaching the gate seal 2811 not only in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction of the diagonally extending portion of the erroneous attachment prevention portion 2810c. In other words, the effective clearance directions when pasting the gate seal 2811 are three directions, that is, the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the diagonal direction, which facilitates the pasting work (see FIG. 207 (a)).

The separation hole 2810d is a rectangular hole extending vertically. When the separation hole 2810d is assembled into the Kate member 2800, the front side is closed by the gate seal 2811 attached to the attachment recess 2810b, and the rear side is closed by the front surface of the gate sensor 2801 accommodated in the accommodation groove 2810g. It is closed and the inside of the separation hole 2810d becomes a closed space.

The separation hole 2810d of the present embodiment has a long side and a short side in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 2810d is smaller than this, the diameter of the rod-shaped member (tool) for separation inserted into the separation hole 2810d becomes smaller, which makes it easier to bend and may not be able to sufficiently press the gate seal 2811. This is because if the separation hole 2810d is larger than this, bending may occur at the portion of the separation hole 2531b in the gate seal 2811, and the appearance of the gate seal 2811 may be deteriorated.

The inner peripheral surface on the right side of the separation hole 2810d is on the same surface as the bottom surface (the surface facing left) of the accommodating groove 2810 g formed in the arm portion 2810e on the right side. Further, the vertical dimension of the locking portion 2810i is formed smaller than the vertical dimension of the separation hole 2810d, and the rear end (claw portion) of the locking portion 2810i is formed with respect to the horizontal dimension of the separation hole 2810d. Is shortly protruding to the left.

In addition to the function of removing the gate seal 2811 described later, the separation hole 2810d is inserted with a core for forming the rear end of the locking portion 2810i which becomes an under part when the gate body 2810 is injection-molded. It can also function as an insertion hole, facilitating injection molding of the gate body 2810.

The gate seal 2811 is formed so as to be slightly longer in the left-right direction with respect to a shape offset inward by a certain distance from the outer shape of the sticking recess 2810b. In the upper left corner of the gate seal 2811, a C-chamfered notch 2811a corresponding to the erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c is formed, and the normal sticking direction (here, the vertical direction) with respect to the sticking recess 2810b can be known. It has become like. The entire back surface of the gate seal 2811 is a glue surface having adhesive strength.

According to the gate member 2800 of the present embodiment, when the gate seal 2811 cannot be correctly attached to the attachment recess 2810b of the gate body 2810 at the time of manufacturing the pachinko machine 1, the gate body 2810 (front plate portion) By passing a rod-shaped member through the separation hole 2810d from the rear of 2810a) and pressing the gate seal 2811 from the rear to the front by the tip thereof, the vicinity of the edge of the gate seal 2811 can be removed so as to be rolled forward. The gate seal 2811 can be easily removed from the attachment recess 2810b by the operator pulling the rolled-up portion, and the gate seal 2811 can be reattached.

Further, with the gate body 2810 and the gate sensor 2801 separated, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole 2810d from the rear of the gate body 2810, and the gate seal 2811 is pressed from the rear by the tip thereof to attach the gate seal 2811. Since it can be easily removed from the recess 2810b, it is possible to easily replace the gate seal 2811 when the model is changed.

Further, as described above, when the gate body 2810 and the gate sensor 2801 are separated from each other, the gate seal 2811 can be easily removed from the sticking recess 2810b by using the separation hole 2810d, which is a component of the pachinko machine 1. On the other hand, it is possible to facilitate the sorting work for each material, and it is possible to reduce the cost of disposing of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, since the separation hole 2810d can be hidden from the front by attaching the gate seal 2811 to the attachment recess 2810b, deterioration of the appearance due to the separation hole 2810d can be suppressed, and the separation hole 2810d can be prevented from being deteriorated by the player. It is possible to make it difficult to notice the existence, and it is possible to make it difficult to plan a fraudulent act using the separation hole 2810d.

Further, in the state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the separation hole 2810d is closed from the rear by the front surface of the gate sensor 2801 accommodated in the accommodation groove 2810 g of the gate main body 2810 to which the gate seal 2811 is attached. Unlike conventional pachinko machines, it does not penetrate a hole that passes to the rear side, so a linear illegal tool such as a piano wire can pass through the hole in the game board 5 or the detection hole of the gate sensor 2801. It is possible to prevent it from being inserted into the machine, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent activities from being carried out.

Further, since the separation hole 2810d is closed from the rear by the front surface of the gate sensor 2801, even if an unauthorized tool is inserted through the gate seal 2811 from the front and inserted into the separation hole 2810d, the separation hole 2810d is further closed by the front surface of the gate sensor 2801. Since it is possible to prevent the insertion (intrusion) into the rear of the game board, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized tool from entering the game board 5 or the detection hole of the gate sensor 2801 from the front through the separation hole 2810d, which is illegal. It is possible to prevent the act from being performed, and since the illegal tool penetrates the gate seal 2811 and leaves a trace on the gate seal 2811, it is possible to hesitate to execute the illegal act, and the deterrence against the illegal act is high. The pachinko machine 1 can be provided.

Further, since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c is provided in the sticking recess 2810b to which the gate seal 2811 is stuck, if the gate seal 2811 is to be stuck upside down, the gate seal 2811 can be stuck correctly. It can be eliminated, the operator can be made aware of the incorrect sticking of the gate seal 2811, and the gate sticker 2811 can be stuck in the normal orientation, and the gate sticker 2811 can be stuck upside down. It is possible to prevent the product from being shipped as it is attached.

Further, in the gate main body 2810, since the protrusion 2810j is provided in the accommodation groove 2810g, when the gate sensor 2801 is inserted into the accommodation groove 2810g from the rear in a direction in which the protrusion 2810j and the notch 2801a of the gate sensor 2801 do not match, The front surface of the gate sensor 2801 abuts on the protrusion 2810j before abuting on the rear surface of the front plate portion 2810a, so that the locking portion 2810i cannot be locked on the rear surface of the gate sensor 2801. That is, only when the gate sensor 2801 is inserted into the accommodating groove 2810 g in the direction in which the protrusion 2810j and the notch 2801a of the gate sensor 2801 coincide with each other, the locking portion 2810i is locked to the rear end of the gate sensor 2801 and the gate is gated. Since the sensor 2801 is held, it is possible to prevent the gate sensor 2801 from being assembled in the wrong direction, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a defect related to the gate sensor 2801.

Further, by accommodating the gate sensor 2801 from the rear in the accommodating groove 2810 g of the gate main body 2810 and locking the locking portion 2810i to the gate sensor 2801, the accommodating groove 2810 g, the locking portion 2810i, and the pasting recess 2810b are rearranged. Depending on the side, the movement of the gate sensor 2801 in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front-back direction can be restricted and positioned, and the pachinko machine 1 (gate member 2800) can be easily assembled on the pachinko machine 1. The cost can be reduced. At this time, since the separation hole 2810d is located in the front portion of the accommodation groove 2810g in the gate main body 2810, when the gate sensor 2801 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 2810g, the separation hole 2810d is opened from the rear by the front end of the gate sensor 2801. It will be closed. Therefore, in the state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1, the separation hole 2810d is provided by the gate sensor 2801 attached to the rear side of the gate body 2810 to which the gate seal 2811 is attached (attached). Since it is closed from the rear and does not penetrate a hole that passes to the rear side like a conventional pachinko machine, a linear illegal tool such as a piano wire is inserted into the pachinko machine 1 through the hole. It is possible to prevent the fraudulent activity from being carried out.

Further, as described above, by locking the gate sensor 2801 to the locking portion 2810i of the gate main body 2810, the movement in the front-rear direction can be restricted, so that the gate seal 2811 and the separation hole 2810d are penetrated from the front. Even if the gate sensor 2801 is pushed backward by an unauthorized tool, the locking portion 2810i can be locked to prevent the gate sensor 2801 from moving backward, and the gate sensor 2801 can close the separation hole 2810d from the rear. It can be maintained to prevent fraudulent activity.

Further, since the locking portion 2810i of the gate main body 2810 is projected within the front projection range of the separating hole 2810d, the separating hole 2810d is also used as an insertion hole through which the core for forming the locking portion 2810i is inserted. The gate body 2810 can be formed by injection molding.

From the above, the following technical ideas A to C can be grasped.

On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upper right side of the center accessory 2500 enters the entrance of the second guide passage 2522 and circulates through the second guide passage 2522, it is on the left side of the exit of the first guide passage 2521. Is released downward from. The game ball B discharged downward from the exit of the second guide passage 2522 is guided so that the gate 2003 and the left side of the gate member 2800 have substantially the same probability and the right side of the gate member 2800 has a lower probability. Then, it flows down to the side right middle unit 2700 side.

The game ball B passing through the right side of the gate member 2800 is received by the second sub-out port 2022. The game ball B received in the second sub-out port 2022 is guided to the rear of the game panel 1100 and delivered to the second back guide passage 3157 of the back front right decorative unit 3140 in the back front effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000. After that, it is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a through the back front lower effect unit 3160. Further, the game ball B that has passed through the gate 2003 is discharged to the side right middle unit 2700 side after being detected by the gate sensor 2801. By detecting the game ball B by the gate sensor 2801, a lottery of the normal lottery result in which the second starting port 2004 opens and closes is performed.

The game ball B passing through the left side of the gate 2003 and the gate member 2800 has a high probability of being the side right middle unit 2700 due to a plurality of obstacle nails N planted between the gate member 2800 and the side right middle unit 2700. It flows down the left side and is occasionally accepted by the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, and rarely by the second sub-out opening 2022. The game ball B received in the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700 is guided to the rear of the game panel 1100, and then the first back of the back front right decoration unit 3140 in the back front production unit 3100 of the back unit 3000. It is handed over to the guide passage 3156, detected by the general winning opening sensor 3001, and then discharged onto the board holder 1200 through the back front lower effect unit 3160. At this time, a privilege that a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out is given.

The game ball B flowing down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is guided by a plurality of obstacle nails N planted on the left side of the side right middle unit 2700, and is guided by the accessory winning opening 2006 in the second attacker unit 2600. Flow down to the left.

At this time, if the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and "per character" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery or the second special lottery, the character wins. Since the mouth 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that has flowed down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is received by the prize winning mouth 2006 with a high probability.

The game ball B received in the character winning opening 2006 is detected by the character winning opening sensor 2601 and is guided to the rear of the game panel 1100 outside the game area 5a, and then in front of the back unit 3000. It is delivered to the distribution passage 3158 of the back front right decoration unit 3140 in the production unit 3100. By detecting the game ball B by the accessory winning opening sensor 2601, a privilege that a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out is given.

Then, the game ball B delivered to the distribution passage 3158 is distributed to either the V winning opening 2007 or the losing opening 2008 by the drive of the V distribution solenoid 3007. The game ball B distributed to the V winning opening 2007 is detected by the V winning opening sensor 3003 and then discharged onto the board holder 1200. On the other hand, the game ball B distributed to the loss opening 2008 is not detected by the V winning opening sensor 3003, but is detected by the loss opening sensor 3004 and then discharged onto the substrate holder 1200. When the game ball B is received in the V winning opening 2007, the privilege of opening and closing the large winning opening 2005 in a predetermined pattern is given.

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

The game ball B discharged downward (diagonally lower left) from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 flows down onto the first shelf portion 2421 of the first attacker unit 2400. Since a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted between the lower right guide passage 2530 and the first attacker unit 2400, the game ball B is directly connected to the first attacker unit 2400 from the lower right guide passage 2530. It does not flow down to the right side of the first standing wall portion 2425.

The game ball B that has flowed down to the first shelf 2421 of the first attacker unit 2400 rolls to the left due to its inclination, and rolls the upper surface of the second starting door 2411 and the second shelf 2422. Then, it is discharged from the left end of the second shelf portion 2422 to the left. Then, the game ball B released to the left from the second shelf 2422 falls on the third shelf 2423 or the big prize opening door 2413 according to the momentum, and rolls to the left due to their inclination. Then, after rolling the fourth shelf portion 2424 from the large winning opening door 2413, it is discharged from the fourth shelf portion 2424 to the left outside the first attacker unit 2400.

By the way, depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, by abutting on a plurality of obstacle nails N, it does not flow down to the first shelf portion 2421 but to the upper shelf portion 2436. It may flow down. Then, the game ball B that has flowed down to the upper shelf 2436 rolls to the left due to its inclination, is discharged from the left end of the upper shelf 2436 to the left, and then hits the obstacle nail N planted on the left. After abutting and turning downward and flowing down near the left end of the upper surface of the large winning door 2413, the large winning door 2413 and the fourth shelf 2424 are rolled to the left to the outside of the first attacker unit 2400. Is released to. Therefore, even when the game ball B rolls on the upper shelf portion 2436, depending on the timing at which the game ball B is released from the upper shelf portion 2436 and the timing at which the large winning opening 2005 is opened, the large winning opening 2005 may be used. May be accepted.

Further, depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, it bounces to the right due to the obstacle nail N or the contact with the right end of the upper shelf 2436, etc., and the first shelf 2421. By flowing down, the first shelf portion 2421 may be rolled to the right against the inclination and discharged from the right end of the first shelf portion 2421 to the right (downward). The game ball B discharged to the right from the right end of the first shelf portion 2421 passes between the first standing wall portion 2425 and the right rail 1005 of the front component 1000, and flows down near the right end of the second side wall portion 2433. Then, due to the inclination of the second side wall portion 2433, it rolls to the left and is received by the first sub-out port 2021. The game ball B received in the first sub-out port 2021 is delivered to the fifth discharge passage 3185 of the back front lower effect unit 3160 in the back front effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 without being returned to the game area 5a. It is discharged onto the substrate holder 1200 below from the fifth discharge passage 3185.

When the game ball B is released from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500, if the "normal hit" is drawn as a result of the normal lottery due to the passage of the game ball B at the gate 2003, the second starting port Since the door 2411 is movable and the second starting port 2004 is opened in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B rolling to the left on the first shelf portion 2421 can be received by the second starting port 2004. There is sex. Then, when the game ball B is received by the second starting port 2004, it is detected by the second starting port sensor 2401 and then discharged onto the substrate holder 1200 outside the game area 5a. When the game ball B is detected by the second start port sensor 2401, the second special lottery result is drawn and a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out.

Further, when the game ball B is discharged to the left from the second shelf portion 2422, the game ball B is accepted into the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004, and the first special lottery result and the second special lottery are performed. As a result, when the "big hit" is drawn, the big winning opening door 2413 moves and the big winning opening 2005 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, so that the game ball B released from the second shelf portion 2422 to the left is released. , It will be accepted in the big prize opening 2005 with high probability. The game ball B received in the large winning opening 2005 is detected by the large winning opening sensor 2402 and then discharged onto the substrate holder 1200 outside the game area 5a. By detecting the game ball B by the large winning opening sensor 2402, a privilege that a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out is given.

Depending on the momentum of the game ball B discharged to the left from the second shelf 2422, the game ball B may come into contact with the step on the lower surface of the upper shelf 2436 and flow diagonally to the lower right to flow down to the second shelf 2422 and the third. The game ball B may enter the gap between the shelf and the shelf 2423. The game ball B that has entered the gap between the second shelf portion 2422 and the third shelf portion 2423 passes between the third vertical wall portion 2427 and the fourth vertical wall portion 2428 and is near the left end of the second horizontal wall portion 2433. It falls and rolls to the right due to the inclination of the second side wall portion 2433 and is received by the first sub-out port 2021.

The game ball B discharged from the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 to the first attacker unit 2400 side is not accepted by any of the second starting port 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the first sub-out opening 2021. If this is the case, it is discharged downward from the out port 1008 at the lower end of the game area 5a to the rear and lower part of the game panel 1100 which is outside the game area 5a.

For this reason, in order to open and close the large winning opening 2005 and the accessory winning opening 2006, the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004 is made to accept the game ball B, and the game ball B is accepted to "hit the winning opening" or "feature hit". It is necessary to have the lottery of the first special lottery result such as "big hit" or the second special lottery result. While the first starting port 2002 is always open, the second starting port 2004 needs to let the gate 2003 pass the game ball B to draw (assign) a "normal hit" as a result of the normal lottery. Therefore, the opportunity for the game ball B to be accepted by the second starting port 2004 is lower than that of the first starting port 2002.

Therefore, in a normal state, the game ball B is driven into the player so that the game ball B flows down on the left side of the center accessory 2500 so that the game ball B can be received at the first starting port 2002. The operation can be performed, the movement of the game ball B guided by the plurality of obstacle nails N can be shown, and the original game by the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed, and the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 can be enjoyed. It is possible to raise the expectation for acceptance of.

Then, when the game ball B is accepted into the first starting port 2002 and the "feature hit" or "big hit" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery, the big winning opening 2005 or the winning combination opening 2006 opens and closes. Therefore, the driving operation of the game ball B is changed to "right-handed" so that the game ball B can be accepted by the large winning opening 2005 or the character winning opening 2006, and the large winning opening 2005 or the character winning opening 2006 It is possible to raise expectations for the acceptance of the game ball B in the game.

At this time, a guide passage group 2520 consisting of a first guide passage 2521 and a second guide passage 2522 is provided in the upper right corner of the center accessory 2500, and it is easy to pass through the gate 2003 by the guide passage to be distributed. Since it is easy to be accepted by the second sub-out port 2022, the driving strength of the game ball B can be adjusted so that the game ball B circulates in the desired guide passage, and the player can be made to use the game ball B. You can enjoy the driving operation of.

In addition, there is a possibility that a "normal hit" in which the second starting port 2004 is opened by passing the game ball B through the gate 2003 by performing "right-handed" may be drawn, and the first in the open state. (Ii) Since there is a possibility that the game ball B will be accepted by the starting port 2004 and a "feature hit" or a "big hit" will be drawn, it is possible to raise expectations for the game and suppress a decline in interest. Can be done.

[5-8j. Magnetic sensor]
Subsequently, the plurality of magnetic sensors 1050 in the game board 5 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 146 to 148 and the like. FIG. 146 is a front view of the game board showing the arrangement of the magnetic sensors. FIG. 147 (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the direction of the magnetic sensor capable of detecting the magnetic field lines from the magnet, and FIG. 147 (b) is an explanatory diagram showing the direction of the magnetic sensor unable to detect the magnetic field lines from the magnet (c). ) Is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the detection range by the magnetic sensor by a perspective view, and (d) is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic body in which the magnetic field lines from the magnet cannot be detected. e) is an explanatory diagram showing a positional relationship between a magnetic sensor and a magnetic material that can detect magnetic field lines from a magnet. FIG. 148 (a) is a perspective view showing a state in which the magnetic sensor is held by the holding member, and FIG. 148 (b) is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the holding member and the magnetic sensor are separated. Is an exploded view showing the holding member in cross section.

A plurality of magnetic sensors 1050 are provided on the game board 5, and are for detecting illegal magnetism (lines of magnetic force) acting in the game area 5a. As shown in FIG. 148 (c), the magnetic sensor 1050 includes a sensor body 1051 for detecting magnetism, a sensor board 1052 having a white surface on which the sensor body 1051 is mounted, a sensor board 1052, and a sensor body 1051. It is equipped with a transparent sensor case 1053 that covers the surface. Although not shown, an IC, a transistor, a resistor, a diode, a connector for connection, and the like are mounted on the sensor board 1052 in addition to the sensor main body 1051.

The magnetic sensor 1050 has a rectangular shape in a plan view, is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a height lower than the length of the short side of the rectangle, and one portion of the side in the height direction is C-chamfered. The magnetic sensor 1050 can visually recognize the internal sensor body 1051 and the sensor board 1052 from the outside through the transparent sensor case 1053.

The magnetic sensor 1050 can detect the passage of magnetic lines of force parallel to the longest side of a rectangular parallelepiped. Therefore, when the orientation of the magnetic sensor 1050 and the positional relationship between the magnet 1055 as shown in FIG. 147 (a), the magnetic field lines of the magnet 1055 pass in the direction parallel to the long side, so that the magnetic (magnetic field lines) of the magnet 1055 Can be detected.

On the other hand, when the orientation of the magnetic sensor 1050 and the positional relationship between the magnet 1055 as shown in FIG. 147 (b), the magnetic field lines of the magnet 1055 are in the direction perpendicular to the long side (with respect to the rectangular surface of the long side and the short side). Because it passes in the vertical direction), the magnetism (magnetic field line) of the magnet 1055 cannot be detected.

Therefore, as shown by shading in FIG. 147 (c), the magnetic sensor 1050 has a magnetic detection region of the magnet 1055 on one side and the other side in the long side direction centered on the magnetic sensor 1050. Has DA. In other words, the magnetic sensor 1050 has a gourd-shaped detection region DA in which two spheres are combined.

Then, in the game board 5 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 146, a plurality of magnetic sensors 1050 are provided in appropriate directions, respectively. Each magnetic sensor 1050 has an illegal magnetism acting in the vicinity of the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, and the warp entrance 2511 in the game area 5a. Is arranged so that it can be detected. That is, each magnetism is included in the detection region DA of the magnetic sensor 1050 (the region indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 146) in the game region 5a where the cheating using the magnet is predicted to be performed. The sensor 1050 is arranged in an appropriate orientation.

Further, in the game board 5, each magnetic sensor 1050 is from a start port solenoid 2412, an attacker solenoid 2414, a bonus winning port solenoid 2612, a V distribution solenoid, a drive motor provided in the back unit 3000, and the like. In order not to detect magnetism (lines of magnetic force), each detection area DA is prevented from being applied to the solenoid or the drive motor.

Next, as shown in FIG. 147 (d), when the magnetic body 1056 is arranged in parallel with the magnetic sensor 1050 capable of detecting the magnetic field lines from the magnet 1055, the magnetic force lines are attracted to the magnetic body 1056. The number of lines of magnetic force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050 may decrease, and the magnetic lines of force (magnetism) from the magnet 1055 may not be detected by the magnetic sensor 1050.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 147 (e), when the magnetic body 1057 is arranged in series with the magnetic sensor 1050 capable of detecting the magnetic force lines from the magnet 1055, the magnetic force lines are attracted by the magnetic body 1057, so that the magnetism is magnetic. The lines of magnetic force passing through the sensor 1050 can be increased. This makes it possible to detect the magnetism of a distant magnet 1055 or a magnet 1055 having a weak magnetic force.

By the way, in the conventional pachinko machine, since the magnetic sensor is attached to the game board by using a screw made of a magnetic material, depending on the positional relationship between the magnetic sensor and the screw, the magnetic field line from the magnet for cheating is generated. There is a problem that the magnetic field lines passing through the magnetic sensor are reduced due to being attracted to the screw having a high magnetic permeability, and the approach of the magnet cannot be detected. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the magnetic sensor 1050 is attached without using screws.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 148, the magnetic sensor 1050 is attached to the game board 5 via a holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material (here, synthetic resin). The holding member 1060 has an accommodating portion 1061 capable of accommodating the magnetic sensor 1050 from one side, and an elastic claw 1062 locked to the magnetic sensor 1050 accommodated in the accommodating portion 1061. Further, the holding member 1060 has a protrusion 1063 protruding from the leg portion of the elastic claw 1062 into the accommodating portion 1061. The holding member 1060 is made of a transparent synthetic resin.

When the magnetic sensor 1050 is inserted into the accommodating portion 1061 from the outside, the holding member 1060 is elastically deformed in the direction in which the elastic claw 1062 moves away from the accommodating portion 1061, and when the magnetic sensor 1050 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 1061, the elastic claw is elastic. 1062 returns and is locked to the magnetic sensor 1050. At this time, the protrusion 1063 provided on the leg of the elastic claw 1062 is in contact with the magnetic sensor 1050, and the magnetic sensor 1050 is pressed against a portion of the inner surface of the accommodating portion 1061 opposite to the elastic claw 1062. There is.

By locking the elastic claw 1062, it is possible to prevent the magnetic sensor 1050 from moving in the direction of exiting from the accommodating portion 1061, and it is possible to prevent the magnetic sensor 1050 from falling off. Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is pressed into the accommodating portion 1061 by the contact of the protrusion 1063, rattling of the magnetic sensor 1050 in the accommodating portion 1061 can be prevented.

In this way, since the holding member 1060 is made of a non-magnetic material, it is possible to prevent the holding member 1060 from attracting magnetic lines of force from the magnet when the magnet is brought close to the game area 5a, and the magnetic sensor. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the magnetic field lines passing through the 1050. Therefore, it is possible to easily detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, it is possible to detect the fraudulent activity using the magnet at an early stage, and the fraudulent activity is notified by notifying the detection of the suspicious magnetism by the magnetic sensor 1050. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrent power against fraudulent acts.

Further, since the holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material can prevent the magnetic lines of force from being attracted from the magnet and prevent the magnetic lines of force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050 from decreasing, the number of magnetic lines of magnetism is smaller than that of the conventional pachinko machine. The sensor 1050 makes it possible to effectively detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, the number of magnetic sensors 1050 can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, and the increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed. ..

Further, by elastically deforming the elastic claw 1062 of the holding member 1060, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily attached to and detached from the holding member 1060. Therefore, it is made of a metal made of a magnetic material like a conventional pachinko machine. The magnetic sensor 1050 can be attached by the elastic claw 1062 without using the screw of, and the labor required for assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be facilitated, which increases the cost of the pachinko machine 1. It can be suppressed.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is urged (pressed) to the accommodating portion 1061 by the protrusion 1063 of the holding member 1060, it is possible to suppress the magnetic sensor 1050 from vibrating finely due to the urging by the protrusion 1063. It is possible to reduce the disconnection of the connector connected to the magnetic sensor 1050 or the occurrence of poor contact due to the vibration, and the magnetic sensor 1050 can be reliably operated.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is held by the holding member 1050 made of a non-magnetic material and provided on the game board 5, the portion of the holding member 1060 to be attached to the game board 5 is located at a position away from the magnetic sensor 1050. Alternatively, it can be provided at a position outside the magnetic detection region DA in the game region 5a. As a result, the influence of magnetic materials such as screws for attaching the holding member 1060 to the game board 5 can be reduced as much as possible, so that the magnetic sensor 1050 reliably detects the magnetism acting on the game area 5a. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrent power against fraudulent acts using magnets.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is visually held by the transparent holding member 1050 and the sensor case 1053 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is transparent, the sensor main body mounted on the sensor board 1052 through the transparent sensor case 1053. The 1051 can be shown to the player. At this time, since the surface of the sensor board 1052 on which the sensor main body 1051 is mounted is white, it is possible to make the sensor main body 1051 having a different color (for example, black) stand out. Therefore, it is possible to make the player strongly recognize that the magnetic sensor 1050 is not a dummy but a real one, and the person who tries to cheat using the magnet by seeing the magnetic sensor 1050 is cheated. It is possible to hesitate to execute the above, increase the deterrence against fraudulent acts, and reduce the burden on the game hall side in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, in the magnetic sensor 1050, since the surface of the sensor board 1052 on which the sensor body 1051 is mounted is white, the sensor board 1052 can be made inconspicuous, and the sensor board 1052 is a decorative board on which the LED is mounted. Can be misunderstood. Therefore, even if the sensor board 1052 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is visible, it is not a concern for a normal player, and it is possible to prevent the appearance in the game area 5a from being deteriorated.

Further, since the sensor main body 1051 of the magnetic sensor 1050 can be seen from the outside, it is possible to confirm from the outside whether or not the sensor main body 1051 is damaged, so that the time and effort required for the maintenance of the pachinko machine 1 can be facilitated. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, each detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a and the setting switching button 1311b provided on the setting change board 1311 is input to the input terminal of the predetermined input port of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit.

Further, the detection signal from the door frame opening switch and the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch are transmitted via the payout control board 633 (via, that is, the payout control input circuit and the payout control output circuit described later). When they are input to the main control board 1310 as they are (without going through), they are input to the input terminals of the predetermined input ports of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit.

The detection signals from the out sensor 664, the first start port sensor 3002, and the second start port sensor 2401 are directly input to the main control board 1310 without going through another board, that is, the main control. It is input to the input terminal of the predetermined input port of the main control MPU 1310a via the input circuit. On the other hand, each of the general winning opening sensor 3001, the gate sensor 2801, the large winning opening sensor 2402, the accessory winning opening sensor 2601, the V winning opening sensor 3003, the loss opening sensor 3004, the magnetic sensor 1050, and the vibration sensor. The detection signal is input to the main control board 1310 via the panel relay board 1710, that is, indirectly, and is input to the input terminal of the predetermined input port of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit.

The logic of the launch permission signal that tells that this launch is permitted is set to the launch permission logic when launching is permitted, while the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic) that reverses the launch permission logic when firing is not permitted. Is set to. As for the logic of the launch permission signal, as an initial value (default), the launch permission signal setting process in the main control side timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is started after the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (after the power is restored).

Further, when the effect display device 1600 does not accept the screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs an executing signal to that effect to the display control MPU. The line buffer method is adopted for VDP. This "line buffer method" means that the drawing data for one line that draws the left-right direction of the effect display device 1600 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in the line buffer is stored in the effect display device 1600. It is a method to output to.

An extremely large amount of sprite data is stored in the image ROM, and its capacity is large. When the capacity of the image ROM becomes large, that is, when the number of sprites drawn on the effect display device 1600 increases, the access speed of the image ROM cannot be ignored, which affects the speed of drawing on the effect display device 1600. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the sprite data stored in the image ROM is transferred and copied to the image RAM having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the image RAM. The sprite data is basic data that is data before the sprite is expanded into a bitmap format, and is stored in the image ROM in a compressed state.

Here, the "sprite" will be described. The "sprite" is an image displayed on the effect display device 1600 as a unit. For example, when displaying various people (characters) on the effect display device 1600, the data for drawing each person is called a "sprite". As a result, when displaying a plurality of people on the effect display device 1600, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to people, houses, mountains, roads, etc. that make up the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are drawn on the effect display device 1600 by setting the positions arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap each other (hereinafter, referred to as "the order of superimposing the sprites").

It should be noted that the sprite is configured by laminating a plurality of rectangular areas of 64 pixels in each of the vertical and horizontal directions. The data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "sprite character". In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one sprite character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, a total of 6 sprite characters arranged in a width of 2 x a height of 3 can be used. Can be expressed. In the case of a larger sprite such as a background, it can be expressed by using a larger number of sprite characters. In this way, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

The effect display device 1600 repeats a main scan for setting a display state for each pixel in one direction along a pixel and a main scan in a direction intersecting the one direction, sequentially from left to right when viewed from the front. It is driven by a sub-scan that is performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the effect display control unit 1512 is input to the effect display device 1600, the effect display device 1600 sequentially serves one line from left to right when viewed from the front of the effect display device 1600 as the main scan. Output to each pixel. Then, when the output for one line is completed, the effect display device 1600 shifts to the line directly below as a sub-scan, and similarly, when the drawing data for the next line is input, based on the drawing data for the next line. As the main scan, outputs are sequentially output to pixels for one line from left to right when viewed from the front of the effect display device 1600.

Further, the shaft (screw portion) of the metal pan head screw is screwed into the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a.

As described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate 1501a) is formed on the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 via a metal pan head screw. It is in a state of being electrically connected to the land 1530rf1 to 1530rf4, 1530rb1 to 1530rb4. As a result, the cover body 1501 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the liquid crystal output substrate 1530. As described above, the ground (GND) line of the liquid crystal output board 1530 is the same as the ground (GND) line of the peripheral control board 1510 and the ground (GND) line of the peripheral data ROM board 1520, which are electrically connected to each other. Since the cover body 1501 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the liquid crystal output board 1530 via a metal pan screw, the ground of the peripheral control board 1510 is used. (GND) and the ground (GND) of the peripheral data ROM board 1520 are electrically connected to be the same ground (GND).

As described above, in a state where various substrates such as the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are fixed at predetermined positions on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the front surface of the various substrates (cover flat plate 1501a). A space having a predetermined height distance dimension (14.8 mm in this embodiment) is formed between the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a. In this state, there is a gap (2.3 mm in this embodiment) between the surface of the peripheral control IC 1510a (the surface on which the product number and model are printed) and the rear surface of the FAN mounting recess 1501aa having the above-mentioned predetermined distance dimensions. Is formed.

In the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501, ventilation holes 1501az having a plurality of circular shapes are formed on the right side, the lower right side, the lower left side, and the left side of the FAN mounting recess 1501aa, respectively. When the wings of the air-cooled fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be blown out toward the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 to control the peripherals. By taking in air from the outside of the unit 1500 through these ventilation holes 1501az, the inner space of the cover body 1501 (particularly, the peripheral control IC 1510a) can be air-cooled. These ventilation holes 1501az are formed to have a diameter of 3 mm, a pitch width in the left-right direction of 6.5 mm, and a pitch width in the up-down direction of 6.0 mm to 6.5 mm.

When the peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, there are gaps between the seven connectors CN1 to CN7 provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and the seven connector holes 1501ac1 to 1501ac7 formed in the cover body 1501. At the same time, a gap is formed between the volume adjusting switch 1510d provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and the volume adjusting hole 1501ac8 formed in the cover body 1501. When the liquid crystal output board 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the two connectors CN8 and CN9 provided in the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the two connector holes 1501ac9 and 1501ac10 formed in the cover body 1501 are formed. A gap is formed. Therefore, when the wings of the air-cooled fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be ejected to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wings. , Air is taken in from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the ventilation holes 1501az described above, and at the same time, the above-mentioned gaps (seven connectors CN1 to CN7 provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and seven formed in the cover body 1501) are taken in. The gaps formed in the connector holes 1501ac1 to 1501ac7, the volume adjustment switch 1510d provided in the peripheral control board 1510, the gaps formed in the volume control holes 1501ac8 formed in the cover body 1501, and the liquid crystal output board 1530. It is taken in through the gaps formed in the two connectors CN8 and CN9 provided and the two connector holes 1501ac9 and 1501ac10 formed in the cover body 1501.

The area (total area) of the plurality of arc-shaped slit holes 1501aa formed on the bottom surface of the FAN mounting recess 1501aa is the area of the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. The gap formed in the above-mentioned gaps (seven connectors CN1 to CN7 provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and the seven connector holes 1501ac1 to 1501ac7 formed in the cover body 1501), and the volume control switch 1510d provided in the peripheral control board 1510. , The volume adjustment hole 1501ac8 formed in the cover body 1501, the gap formed in the cover body 1501, the two connectors CN8 and CN9 provided in the liquid crystal output board 1530, and the two connector holes 1501ac9, 1501ac10 formed in the cover body 1501. And the area in the gap formed in) is smaller than the sum. Therefore, when the wing portion of the air-cooled fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotates, the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 is ejected to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wing portion by this rotation. When air is taken in from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover plate 1501a of the cover body 1501, a plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. The flow velocity of the air flowing into each can be kept small.

When the wings of the air-cooled fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be ejected to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wings. When air is taken in from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover plate 1501a of the cover body 1501, each of the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. It is possible to keep the flow velocity of the air flowing into the fan small, but when the wings of the air-cooling fan FAN mounted in the FAN mounting recess 1501aa rotate, this rotation sucks air through the wings and the surrounding area. Air may be sent out toward the control IC 1510a. In other words, the air-cooled fan FAN may not have the main purpose of exchanging air in the space between the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502, but may simply have the main purpose of air-cooling the peripheral control IC 1510a.

The structure is provided with a floating mechanism that can absorb the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when pushing in by moving within a predetermined distance range (direction between the back surface and the front surface). The socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output board 1530 is fixed in a state where the liquid crystal output board 1530 is attached and fixed at a predetermined position on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. Even if the liquid crystal output board 1530 (peripheral control board 1510) is moved to the maximum within the predetermined distance range described above when viewed from the front, the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN4 is the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501. A gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the special connector SCN4 and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 so as not to come into contact with the special connector SCN4.

Here, the reason why the special connector SCN3 is adopted for the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the special connector SCN4 is adopted for the liquid crystal output board 1530 will be briefly described. The peripheral data ROM board 1520 can store various control information (peripheral data) controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 (the function of the image ROM of the effect display control unit 1512 described above) and the like. Including.). As various control information (peripheral data), image data such as a background image, a character image, a pattern image, etc. for drawing various effect images on the effect display device 1600, and various decorative boards provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5. Light emission data that defines the light emission mode (lighting, gradation, blinking, extinguishing, etc.) of various LEDs mounted on the door frame 3, sound data such as music, voice, warning sound, notification sound, etc. Drive data and the like for driving and controlling various movable effectors provided can be mentioned.

The peripheral data ROM 1520a is a NAND type flash (nonvolatile) memory, which is cheaper than the NOR type flash (nonvolatile) memory, has a large capacity, and can write various data at high speed. The peripheral data ROM 1520a has a low operating voltage, can suppress power consumption, and can realize a high-speed transfer rate by communication conforming to the SATA standard.

In this way, by adopting a NAND flash (nonvolatile) memory as the peripheral data ROM 1520a, it is possible to realize cost reduction, contribute to reduction of power consumption, and read various stored data at a high transfer speed. can. However, although the peripheral data ROM 1520a can suppress power consumption due to its low operating voltage, it is easily affected by noise due to its low operating voltage. Further, it is necessary to accurately and surely transmit various data stored in the peripheral data ROM 1520a from the peripheral data ROM board 1520 to the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration of electrically connecting the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the peripheral control board 1510 via wiring (harness) is not adopted, and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the peripherals are not adopted. By adopting a configuration in which the control board 1510 is electrically connected by a board-to-board connector, the influence of noise invading the inter-board transmission line is reduced.

The procedure for mounting various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the peripheral data ROM board 1520 uses the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on its own surface (mounting surface) 1520x as the surface of the peripheral control board 1510. (Mounting surface) After inserting and pushing into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided in 1510x, it is necessary to fix the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 together with the peripheral control board 1510 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. By adopting the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the error in the front-rear direction generated when the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 is absorbed. This makes it possible to prevent damage to the plurality of connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket, and to reliably form a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520.

Further, as described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 may warp after molding, although it is within the design dimensional distance tolerance. be. Even in such a case, by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs during this operation, it is possible to prevent damage to the multiple connection terminals formed between the plug and the socket, and to provide a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520. It can be reliably formed.

The liquid crystal output board 1530 outputs drawing data of an image to be drawn on the effect display device 1600 transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 from the connector CN10, whereby the progress of the game effect on the effect display device 1600 (for example, to the player). An image telling that a jackpot gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal state occurs, an image telling that the jackpot gaming state does not occur, and a state in which the jackpot gaming state does not occur but the jackpot gaming state occurs compared to the normal state. It is an important board for drawing images such as images that convey that you are approaching) and demonstrations (demonstration that is performed while waiting for the player). Therefore, it is necessary to accurately and surely transmit the drawing data of the image drawn on the effect display device 1600 from the peripheral control board 1510 to the liquid crystal output board 1530. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board 1510 are electrically connected to each other via wiring (harness) is not adopted, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board are not connected. By adopting a configuration in which the 1510 is electrically connected by an inter-board connector, the influence of noise invading the inter-board transmission path is reduced.

The procedure for mounting various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the liquid crystal output board 1530 has a socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on its own surface (mounting surface) 1530x on the surface (mounting) of the peripheral control board 1510. (Surface) The peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 must be fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 after being inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided in 1510x and pushed in. By adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the floating mechanism, the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the plurality of connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket, and to reliably form a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530.

Further, as described above, since the cover body 1501 is made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate, the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 may warp after molding, although it is within the design dimensional distance tolerance. be. Even in such a case, by adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the liquid crystal output board 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the warped cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510. By absorbing the error in the front-back direction that occurs at the time, damage to the connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket is prevented, and the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 is surely established. Can be formed.

When the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, as described above, the back surface of the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 Since the back surface and the back surface of the liquid crystal output board 1530 are arranged on the same plane, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are arranged on the peripheral control board 1510 with respect to the front surface. Compared to the case of three-dimensional arrangement, the distance dimension of the peripheral control unit 1500 in the front-rear direction (that is, the depth direction) can be reduced. Therefore, for example, a large movable effect unit (movable effect body is operated on the game board 5). It can contribute to securing the distance dimension in the depth direction for arranging the electric drive source and the drive mechanism that can be used, and various sensors for detecting the origin position and the operating position).

Here, a method of assembling the peripheral control unit 1500 will be described. First, the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1520x of the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and pushed. Subsequently, the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output board 1530 is inserted into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and pushed.

Subsequently, in order to mount the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the front surface of the peripheral data ROM board 1520 ( The front surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the mounting surface) 1520x and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are directed toward the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1520r1 and 1520r3 formed in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 are provided on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. It is inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501ai1 and 1501ai2 to be formed, and the through holes 1530r2 and 1530r4 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501an1 and 1501an2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. .. As a result, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 are arranged to correspond to the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes formed in the peripheral data ROM board 1520. The holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 are arranged to correspond to the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The arrangement corresponds to the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2 formed in.

Subsequently, a metal pan head screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1520r2 and 1520r4 formed in the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and screwed toward the mounting boss holes 1501ah1 and 1501ah2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and a metal pan head screw (not shown) is inserted into the through holes 1530r1 and 1530r3 formed in the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 to form the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. The liquid crystal output substrate 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by screwing toward the mounting boss holes 1501am1 and 1501am2.

Subsequently, the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 are arranged so as to be aligned with the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, and the metal (not shown) is not shown in the through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4. The peripheral control board 1510 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a by inserting a pan head screw made of metal and screwing it toward the mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4. As described above, among the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, and the peripheral control substrate 1510, the peripheral control substrate 1510 is finally fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a.

The peripheral data ROM board 1520 is inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501ai1 and 1501ai2 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a to restrain the movement in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 is the cover flat plate 1501a. While the movement in the vertical and horizontal directions is restricted by being inserted into the mounting boss protrusions 1501an1 and 1501an2 formed on the back surface side, the peripheral control board 1510 has a mounting boss for restraining the vertical and horizontal directions. The protruding portion is not formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a. By fixing the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the vertical and horizontal directions are constrained, and the dimensional error due to such restraint is suppressed by the peripheral control substrate 1510. Dimensions of through holes 1510r1 to 1510r4 formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and mounting boss holes 1501ag1 to 1501ag4 formed on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a when fixed to the back surface side of the 1501a. This is because it can be absorbed with a sufficient margin.

Subsequently, in a state where the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520, the liquid crystal output substrate 1530, and the peripheral control substrate 1510 are fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the plate-shaped guide portions 1501ca and 1501cc formed on the cover body 1501 are provided. The guide receiving portions 1502ca and 1502ca formed on the engaging portion 1502ca of the base body 1502 are inserted into the guide receiving portions 1502ca and 1502ca, and the hinged hooking portions 1501cc and 1501cd L-shaped hook portions 1501cca and 1501cda formed on the cover body 1501 are inserted into the base body. It is inserted into the U-shaped groove-shaped bag portions 1502cae and 1502caf of the hinge receiving portions 1502ca and 1502cad formed on the engaging portion 1502ca of 1502.

In a state where the base body 1502 is wrapped around the cover body 1501 so as to cover the opening side of the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 is covered with the cover body 1501 as it is, the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 is made of metal (not shown). A metal one-way screw into which an anchor rivet is inserted is inserted and screwed toward the base-side sealing portion 1502ea formed on the base body 1502. When the metal one-way screw is screwed in, the tip surface of the metal anchor rivet expands outward in the base side sealing portion 1502ea, so that the cover side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are formed. The base-side sealing portion 1502ea and the sealed portion 1502ea are sealed.

In such a sealed state, the cover side walls 1501b to 1501e of the cover body 1501 are fitted inside the base side walls 1502b to 1502e of the base body 1502 and are inscribed (surface contact), and the base body 1502 is inscribed. The front surface of the disconnection prevention rib portions 1502aa1 to 1502aa3 formed in is in contact with the back surface (solder surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510. As a result, since the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate as described above, the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 are in a conductive state. In addition, in order to release such a sealed state, the cover-side sealing portion 1501ea formed on the cover body 1501 must be broken by a tool. Therefore, by looking at the traces of opening and closing, it is possible to detect unauthorized opening and closing of the peripheral control board box 1505 composed of the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502, and it is a deterrent against illegal acts on the peripheral control board box 1505.

It is also possible to fix the body 1501 to the left side of the cover body 1501 when viewed from the back surface.). Even in the mounting procedure of various boards, by adopting the sockets of the special connectors SCN3 and SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism, the plug and socket can be used by absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when pushing in. It is possible to prevent damage to a plurality of connection terminals formed in the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and to surely form a transmission path between the boards of the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the peripheral control board 1510, and to form the liquid crystal output board 1530 and its surroundings. It is possible to reliably form a transmission path between the control board 1510 and the board.

By the way, there are a plurality of types of gaming boards mounted on pachinko machines with different gaming specifications.

It can be confirmed through the ventilation hole 1501az having. Further, since the LEDML4 arranged in the vicinity of the special connector SCN2 is maintained in a lighting state while the peripheral control IC 1510a is operating, the operation of the peripheral control IC 1510a is originally confirmed (monitored). Although it has a function, it brightly illuminates the inter-board connector by the special connector SCN2 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the special connector SCN4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the liquid crystal output board 1530.

The SDRAM 1510c1, so that the model and the state of the IC pin of the SDRAM 1510c1, 1510c2 can be visually recognized, that is, the surface of the SDRAM 1510c1, 1510c2 and the state of the IC pin can be confirmed from multiple angles. The regions are dispersed and arranged so as to be a region larger than the shape of 1510c2. Thereby, the modification of the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 can be confirmed through the ventilation holes 1501az having a plurality of circular shapes. Further, the LEDML2 arranged in the vicinity of the SDRAM 1510c composed of the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 is maintained in a lit state in a state where + 12V from the power supply board 630 of the board unit 620 is supplied via the interface board 635. Therefore, although it originally has a function of confirming (monitoring) the state in which + 12V is supplied, it also has a function as a spotlight that illuminates the SDRAM 1510c brightly, so that the SDRAM 1510c (that is, the SDRAM 1510c1) is further provided. It is possible to contribute to the improvement of visibility between the surface of 1510c2) and the state of the IC pin.

Further, among the plurality of blades constituting the vane of the air-cooled fan FAN, the gap between the blade and the blade (specifically, the gap between the blade and the blade when the inspector rotates the vane of the air-cooled fan FAN). It is possible to confirm the part number of the peripheral control IC 1510a provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Thereby, it is possible to confirm whether or not an unauthorized substrate is arranged around the peripheral control IC 1510a through the ventilation holes 1501az having a plurality of circular shapes.

In this embodiment, the LEDs ML1 to LEDML4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are surface-mounted, wide with an angle of about 120 degrees, and have weak directivity. Is also suitable for use as lighting. When various boards such as the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are attached and fixed at predetermined positions on the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the surface (cover) of the various boards is as described above. A space having a predetermined height distance dimension (14.8 mm in this embodiment) is formed between the back surface of the flat plate 1501a (the surface facing the back surface side) and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a.

Further, in the vicinity of the game board 5, a ball tank 552 and a tank rail 553 are arranged above the game board 5, and a payout unit 560 is arranged on the side of the game board 5, so that a ball path composed of these is arranged. In, the game balls rub against each other to be charged and electrostatically discharged, which becomes a noise source. Therefore, in the vicinity of the game board 5 on which the ball path is formed, there is an environment affected by noise due to electrostatic discharge from the game ball. Further, since the pachinko machines 1 are arranged in a row opposite to the island equipment of the game hall, other pachinko machines may become a noise source and be affected by noise. As described above, the surroundings of the game board 5 are in an environment that is extremely susceptible to noise.

A configuration is adopted in which the ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are electrically connected to the same ground (GND). As a result, noise that invades through the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the peripheral data ROM board 1520. Noise can be removed by flowing it to a substrate ground (ground of various substrates (GND)) such as a liquid crystal output substrate 1530.

[7-5. Implementation of control ROM]
Here, a method of mounting the control ROM 1510b on the peripheral control board 1510 will be described with reference to FIGS. 173 to 176. FIG. 173 is a perspective view (a) of a ROM socket having a conversion board, and is a top view (b) of a control ROM having a leadless type package attached to the ROM socket. FIG. 174 is a view taken along the line P of FIG. 173 (a). FIG. 175 is a cross-sectional view of a through hole showing an outline of the positional relationship between the through hole formed on the peripheral control board and the through hole formed on the conversion board. FIG. 176 is a perspective view (a) of a control ROM and a ROM socket having a leadless type package mounted on a conversion board, and is a top view of a control ROM having a leadless type package attached to the ROM socket (a top view). b).

First, as shown in FIGS. 173 to 176, a plurality of pads 1510v having a rectangular shape are formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the control ROM 1510b is arranged, and a predetermined distance dimension is formed. They are arranged in two rows at a distance of only one. Specifically, the pad 1510v is a read-type ROM to which a control ROM 1510b having a read-type package (SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), hereinafter may be referred to as a “lead-type package”) is attached / detached. It is arranged at a position corresponding to a plurality of lead terminals protruding outward from both sides in the longitudinal direction of the socket. The lead terminal of the read-type ROM socket is soldered to the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, so that the lead-type ROM socket is attached to the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510. ) Fixed to 1510x. The pad 1510v is arranged in the vicinity of the peripheral control IC 1510a described above.

On the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the control ROM 1510b which is a surface-side mounted electronic component, the surface side such as the component number of the surface-side electronic component and the area indicating the position where the surface-side electronic component is arranged. A surface showing the attributes of the electronic component (furthermore, the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, the mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the surface-side electronic component, and the model of the front-side electronic component). The side notation is printed by silk printing on a solid green resist with a white paint that is more noticeable than green (for example, component number 1510v1 and control ROM 1510b of the control ROM 1510b in FIG. 173 (b). Position (inner area indicated by symbols (L-shaped symbols) indicating the four corners) 1510v2, mounting orientation of the control ROM 1510b (mounting direction, symbol indicating the placement position of the first terminal (triangular symbol (Δ))) 1510v3).

Further, the back surface of the peripheral control board 1510 (the surface on which the control ROM 1510b is not mounted may be hereinafter referred to as “non-mounting surface”) 1510y includes resistors, capacitors, and various electronic components mounted on the back surface side. In addition to the IC, the attributes of the back-side electronic component such as the part number of the back-side electronic component and the area indicating the position where the back-side electronic component is placed (furthermore, the shape of the back-side electronic component, the size of the back-side electronic component, The back side notation part indicating the mounting direction (mounting direction) of the back side electronic component and the model of the back side electronic component may be included. It is printed on the resist by silk printing.

In the present embodiment, the control ROM 1510b having a read-type package has a storage capacity of 256 Mbits, and has 35 lead terminals (70 lead terminals in total on both sides) from both sides in the longitudinal direction toward the outside. ) Is protruding.

The control ROM 1510b has a read-type package, but if the supply is insufficient or the production is discontinued, it is necessary to substitute a control ROM 1510b with another package. However, when the package is changed, the leadless type (so-called LGA (Land Grid Array)) package (hereinafter, may be referred to as “leadless type package”) is a leadless type package. Since the lead terminal does not protrude from the side and the connection terminal is arranged on the bottom of the leadless type package, it is necessary to correct the shape and arrangement of the pad 1510v and the wiring pattern routing to the pad 1510v, which is called a package change. For this reason, it is necessary to manufacture the peripheral control board 1510 even though there are no electrical problems in the other circuits.

Therefore, the pad 1510v is arranged at a position corresponding to a plurality of lead terminals protruding outward from both sides in the longitudinal direction in the read-type ROM socket to which the control ROM 1510b having the lead-type package is attached and detached. By forming it on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and changing the target to be soldered to the pad 1510v, a mechanism capable of responding to the change of the package is adopted. That is, even if the package of the control ROM 1510b is changed, it is not necessary to modify the shape and arrangement of the pad 1510v of the peripheral control board 1510 and the wiring pattern routing to the pad 1510v (shape and arrangement of the pad 1510v, to the pad 1510v). It is a mechanism that can be used in common (with the same wiring routing), and 35 pads 1510v per row are arranged in two rows with a predetermined distance dimension apart, and the peripheral control board. It is formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of 1510.

As described above, the number of lead terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package is 70 in total, whereas the connection terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a leadless-type package are on the bottom surface of the leadless-type package. 56 (the number of connection terminals may be smaller than 56) is arranged, and the number is small. This is a power supply terminal to which the control power supply from the outside is electrically connected, a ground terminal to be electrically connected to the ground (circuit ground) (GND), and an NC terminal which is not connected (non-connection). This is because the number of lines is decreasing.

When the package of the control ROM 1510b is changed from the read type package to the leadless type package, as shown in FIG. 173 (a), the control ROM 1510b having the leadless type package can be detached from the ROM socket 1510s and the terminal. It is possible to cope with this by using a conversion board 1510t whose number is changed. The ROM socket 1510s can be attached to and detached from the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type by using a dedicated tool, and is mainly composed of a mounting portion 1510sa, a pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb, 1510sb, and a plurality of lead terminals 1510sc. ing. The mounting portion 1510sa mounts a control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, and the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb and 1510sb mounts a control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package on the mounting portion 1510sa. When placed, it is in an open state, whereas when the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package is placed and held on the mounting portion 1510sa, the upper surface of the control ROM 1510b having the leadless type package is placed. It is in a closed state where it rotates and holds it so that a force acts toward the bottom.

When the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb and 1510sb are closed, the force acting on the upper surface of the control ROM 1510b having the leadless type package toward the bottom surface is maintained, and the leadless is mounted on the mounting portion 1510sa. The state in which the 56 connection terminals on the bottom surface of the control ROM 1510b having the mold package and one end of the corresponding lead terminals 1510sc (56) are electrically connected is maintained.

The 56 lead terminals 1510sc are soldered and fixed to pads 1510ta (56) on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t formed so as to correspond to these lead terminals 1510sc.

The shape of the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is the shape of the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 (for example, 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm). It has the same shape as the rectangular shape), its size is the same, and the distance dimension (so-called pitch) between the pads is also the same (for example, 0.8 mm). The distance dimension between the two rows of the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is the distance dimension between the two rows of the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Compared to small.

The outer shape of the conversion board 1510t is a plate shape having a rectangular shape, which is larger than the outer shape of the IC package, and is almost the same as the outer shape of the read type ROM socket to which the control ROM 1510b having the read type package is attached and detached. There is.

The plate thickness of the conversion board 1510t is thinner (0.8 mm or 1.0 mm) than the plate thickness (1.6 mm) of the peripheral control board 1510, and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x and the back surface (solder surface) of the peripheral control board 1510. , Non-mounting surface) A green resist layer is formed by a green coating film formed by applying a green resist solution on a layer (copper plane) on which a pad 1510ta, a wiring pattern, and a land are formed on 1510y. .. The conversion board 1510t may be described as a through hole (hereinafter, “through hole”) having a wiring pattern electrically connected lands formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty. ) Are formed, and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is plated with copper to have conductivity. The holes of the through holes other than the end face through holes 1510tb, which will be described later, are filled with an insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the holes of the through holes are the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface). ) It is processed so as to be flush with 1510ty, and together with the land, one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closed the through-hole hole are completely covered with a green coating film (“resin filling”). ).

As shown in FIG. 174, on both sides of the conversion board 1510t in the longitudinal direction, the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package protrudes outward from both sides in the longitudinal direction in the lead-type ROM socket to which the control ROM 1510b is attached and detached. Semicircular end face through holes 1510tb are formed at positions corresponding to the plurality of lead terminals, and the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through holes 1510tb is plated with copper to have conductivity. The end face through hole 1510tb is formed into a circular shape at the time of manufacture and then shaped into a semicircular shape by router processing. In the end face through hole 1510tb, lands are formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t, respectively.

The end face through holes 1510tb formed on both side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the conversion board 1510t are arranged at the same positions as the lead terminals of the control ROM 1510b having the lead type package, and are arranged on the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510. ) The distance dimension (so-called pitch) between the pads of the pads 1510v formed in 1510x is the same (for example, 0.8 mm).

As described above, the difference between the control ROM 1510b having a read-type package and the control ROM 1510b having a leadless-type package is a power supply terminal to which an external control power supply is electrically connected and a ground (circuit ground). This is the number of ground terminals that are electrically connected to (GND) and NC terminals that are not connected (non-connection). Therefore, on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t, the number of connection terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a through-hole type package, and the number of power supply terminals, ground terminals, and NC terminals are used. To match, the wiring pattern is routed so as to be electrically connected to the end face through holes 1510tb so that the lead terminals of the control ROM 1510b having the lead type package are arranged.

Returning to FIG. 173, a total of 56 pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t, and a total of 70 end face through holes 1510tb formed on both side surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the conversion board 1510t. As shown in FIG. 173 (b), the point (center point) where the line connecting the center of the upper side and the lower side of the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t and the line connecting the center of the left side and the right side intersect. And the point (center point) where the line connecting the center of the upper side and the lower side of the ROM socket 1510s and the line connecting the center of the left side and the right side intersect with each other (including the case where they almost match). , The pad 1510ta and the end surface through hole 1510tb are arranged apart from each other with a predetermined distance dimension zd as a clearance so as not to be in electrical contact with each other.

A total of 70 end face through holes 1510tb formed on both sides of the conversion board 1510t in the longitudinal direction include the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through holes 1510tb and the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Is soldered so that the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are in surface contact with each other (that is, the conversion board 1510t is the front surface of the peripheral control board 1510 (that is,). Mounting surface) It is surface-mounted on 1510x and fixed in a state without gaps).

The surface of the exposed copper portion on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t is soldered (coated with solder) by a solder liberator and is exposed. It is treated to protect the surface of the copper part and improve the wettability during mounting. The solder liberator for the conversion substrate 1510t may be a water-soluble flux.

The lands of the end face through holes 1510tb formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through holes 1510tb and the pads 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Is soldered, it is in surface contact with the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and is in a state of being electrically conductive. This is formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and the surface of the pad 1510v is treated by a solder leveler and pre-soldered (coated with solder), and the conversion board. Since the land of the end face through hole 1510tb formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510t of 1510t is also treated by a solder liberator and pre-soldered (coated with solder), the end face through hole 1510tb When the inner peripheral wall 1510tba and the pad 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are soldered, the end face through hole 1510tb formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t. This is because the land is in surface contact with the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. The solder liberator for the peripheral control board 1510 may be a water-soluble flux.

In the end face through hole 1510tb, lands are formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t, respectively, but the lands may not be formed. In this case, the clearance is predetermined so that the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the end face through hole 1510tb and the end face through hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the end face through hole 1510tb do not electrically contact each other. It is preferable that they have a distance dimension zd (for example, 0.5 mm or more) and are arranged apart from each other. Further, in this case, a lower pad electrically connected to the lower end side of the end face through hole 1510tb may be formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t. The shape of the lower pad is smaller than the shape of the pad 1510v (for example, a rectangular shape of 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm) formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 (for example, 1). It has a rectangular shape of .5 mm to 1.6 mm × 0.5 mm to 0.55 mm), and the distance dimension (so-called pitch) between the pads is the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Is the same as (for example, 0.8 mm). As mentioned above, this lower pad is soldered (coated with solder) by a solder liberator, and is treated to protect the surface of the exposed copper part and improve the wettability during mounting. It has been subjected. Even with this configuration, the lower pad electrically connected to the lower end side of the end face through hole 1510tb formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t is the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb. When the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is soldered, the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is in surface contact with the pad 1510v. It becomes electrically conductive. Further, with this configuration, the pad 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 has the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) of the conversion board 1510t. ) When the lower pad formed in 1510ty is soldered, the pad 1510v can further increase the peeling strength of peeling from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510.

On the surface (mounting surface) 1510t of the conversion board 1510t, in addition to the ROM socket 1510s which is a surface-side mounted electronic component, the surface side such as the component number of the surface-side electronic component and the area indicating the position where the surface-side electronic component is arranged. A surface showing the attributes of the electronic component (furthermore, the shape of the surface-side electronic component, the size of the surface-side electronic component, the mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the surface-side electronic component, and the model of the front-side electronic component). The side notation is printed by silk printing on a solid green resist with a white paint that stands out against green (for example, the position where the component numbers 1510s1 and ROM socket 1510s of the ROM socket 1510s are arranged). (Inner area indicated by symbols (L-shaped symbols) indicating the four corners) 1510s2, mounting orientation of the ROM socket 1510s (mounting direction, symbols indicating the placement position of the first terminal (triangular symbol (Δ))) 1510s3).

The total number of pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is 56, whereas the total number of pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is 56. The number is 70, which is larger than the number of pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t. Further, as described above, the shape of the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is the same as the shape of the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. And the size is also the same. Further, the contact area (bonding area) between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t is the end face through hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t. Contact area between the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Since it is smaller than the joint area), it is formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t and the land (or land) formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t. Instead, the bonding strength between the above-mentioned lower pad) and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is the pad 1510ta formed on the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t. Compared to the joint strength with, it is higher.

Therefore, when the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s is soldered to the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t, the peeling strength that the pad 1510ta peels off from the base material of the conversion board 1510t is peripheral. Lands formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are soldered to the pad 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the control board 1510. In this case, the pad 1510v is smaller than the peeling strength at which the peripheral control board 1510 is peeled off from the base material.

In other words, when an external force is applied to the ROM socket 1510s, the peeling strength at which the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is peeled off from the base material of the conversion board 1510t is the surface (mounting surface) of the peripheral control board 1510. (Mounting surface) Since the pad 1510v formed on the 1510x is smaller than the peeling strength of the peripheral control board 1510, the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t soldered to the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s. Since the pad 1510ta formed in the above can be peeled off from the base material of the conversion board 1510t, it is formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t. Since the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 soldered to the formed land can be prevented from peeling off from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral control board 1510 Damage can be prevented.

On the other hand, the soldered portion between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t is easily deformed because it is a thin metal wire when a force is applied to the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s in the peeling direction. The load applied to each of the lead terminals 1510sc is increased, and a force is applied to peel off the wiring pattern formed on the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t and the conversion board 1510t. As a result, there is a high possibility that pattern peeling will occur in the soldered portion on the ROM socket 1510s side having a thin metal wire, but the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and Soldering of the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the pad 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Part) can be said to have a low probability of pattern peeling.

As described above, the ROM socket 1510s is not directly mounted on the peripheral control board 1510, but is mounted on the conversion board 1510t, thereby reducing the damage of the peripheral control board 1510 due to the external force applied to the ROM socket 1510s. can do. Therefore, the method of mounting the control ROM 1510b, which is an electronic component on the peripheral control board 1510, can be changed to a new mode to improve convenience.

Further, the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x and the back surface (solder surface, non-mounting surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are as described above. In both cases, a green resist layer is formed by the green coating film, and the colors are unified. In this way, by making the resists of the peripheral control board 1510 and the conversion board 1510t the same color (green), the existence of the conversion board 1510t can be obscured with respect to the peripheral control board 1510, and it is a target of fraud. It can be difficult to have the recognition of.

Further, on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, the mounting direction of the control ROM 1510b (mounting direction, symbol indicating the arrangement position of the first terminal (triangular symbol (Δ))) 1510v3 is opposed to the green color of the resist. It is a white paint that stands out and is printed by silk printing on a solid green resist. As a result, when the resists of the peripheral control board 1510 and the conversion board 1510t have the same color (green), it is difficult to know the arrangement direction of the conversion board 1510t when mounting, so a white resist that is easy to recognize for the green resist is used. The direction of the conversion board 1510t can be easily understood by indicating the 1-pin location (arrangement position of the first terminal). That is, since the peripheral control board 1510 has a pin location (first terminal arrangement position) and the conversion board 1510t also has a pin location (first terminal arrangement position), the peripheral control board 1510 and the conversion board 1510t have one pin location. Even when the resist has the same color (green), the direction of the conversion substrate 1510t can be easily understood.

Further, the through-hole holes other than the end face through-holes 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t are filled with an insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the through-hole holes are the surface (mounting surface) of the conversion board 1510t. ) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty are processed to be flush with each other, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closed the through-hole holes are coated with a green coating film together with the through-hole lands. It is completely covered (filled with resin). As a result, by eliminating the metal exposed portion of the through hole, it is possible to avoid contact with the metal exposed portion of the through hole formed on the peripheral control board 1510 and prevent the occurrence of electrical trouble.

This will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 175. For example, as shown in FIG. 175, the through holes formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and the through holes formed in the conversion board 1510t may or may not overlap by chance. When they happen to overlap, the through holes formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and the through holes formed in the conversion board 1510t are electrically connected to be electrically connected, and in order to avoid this, conversion is performed. The holes of the through holes formed in the substrate 1510t are filled with the above-mentioned resin.

Further, for example, when a board on which the ROM socket 1510s is mounted is provided with a connector for connecting to the peripheral control board 1510 and the board is electrically connected by connecting to the connector on the peripheral control board 1510 side, the board is mounted. The control ROM is close to the cover flat plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505, and the influence of external noise becomes strong. On the other hand, the conversion board 1510t of this embodiment is connected by the above-mentioned soldering in a state where the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are in surface contact with each other. Therefore, the mounted control ROM 1510b can be kept away from the cover flat plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505, so that it is less likely to be affected by external noise.

Further, the number of pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is 70 in order to correspond to the lead terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package, whereas the number of pads 1510v is 70. The number of connection terminals of the control ROM 1510b having the package is 56 on the bottom surface of the leadless type package (the number of connection terminals may be as small as 56). Therefore, the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is not connected (non-connection) in advance to the lead terminal of the control ROM 1510b having a read type package, for example. In some cases, the number of NC terminals is excessive as a result. Due to the presence of the excess pad 1510v, it is formed on the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t). It has the effect of reinforcing the land to be soldered and the soldered portion of the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and the strength of the joint surface of the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side. Can contribute. That is, the number of NC terminals is increased, and the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the land formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t). The joint surface of the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the soldered portion with the pad 1510v) is strengthened.

Further, the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion board 1510t is a land formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t (or the lower pad described above instead of the land). Since they are connected by (copper foil), the bonding strength can be increased compared to soldering using a simple pad. The soldering portion on the conversion board 1510t side (the soldering portion between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t) is a pad having only the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t. Land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t). ) And the pad 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510) are the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) of the conversion board 1510t. Since it is connected by a land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) (copper foil) formed in 1510ty, the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side is compared with the soldered portion on the conversion board 1510t side. The structure can have a strong bonding strength.

Further, the shape of the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t is the shape of the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 (for example, 2.5 mm × 0. It has the same shape as the 5 mm rectangular shape), its size is the same, the distance dimension between the pads (so-called pitch) is also the same (for example, 0.8 mm), and the surface (mounting surface) of the conversion substrate 1510t. ) The distance dimension between the two rows of the pads 1510ta formed on 1510tx is smaller than the distance dimension between the two rows of the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. , It is longer than the distance dimension (pitch) between the pads. The end face through holes 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion board 1510t are the same as the distance dimension (so-called pitch) between the pads of the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 (for example, 0). It is 0.8 mm). The distance dimension of the end face through hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t (that is, the distance dimension between both side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t) is a pad formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Of the distance dimension between the two rows of 1510v, it is larger than the inner distance dimension of the pad 1510v between the two rows and smaller than the outer distance dimension of the pad 1510v between the two rows, and further. It is longer than the distance dimension between the two rows of the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t. As a result, the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t, and the peripheral control board 1510. By lengthening the pitch of the joint portion between the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, the effect of preventing bending of the peripheral control board 1510 can be enhanced. Further, in order to enhance the bending prevention effect of the peripheral control board 1510, for example, it is possible to increase the board thickness of the conversion board 1510t.

Further, a soldering portion on the conversion board 1510t side (a soldering portion between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t) and a soldering portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (conversion board 1510t). On the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. As described above, the formed pad 1510v and the soldered portion) can be surface-mounted in a state where the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 are in surface contact with each other. It is a structure that can be done. As a result, the conversion board 1510t and the peripheral control board 1510 can be electrically connected without a gap, so that the distance from the cover flat plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505 can be increased. It can be a connection method that is resistant to noise.

Further, the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t, and the peripheral control board 1510. By soldering the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x, it is electrically connected via this solder. As a result, the conversion board 1510t and the peripheral control board 1510 can be electrically connected without a gap, so that the distance from the cover flat plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505 can be increased. It can be a connection method that is resistant to noise.

Further, the through-hole holes other than the end face through-holes 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t are filled with an insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the through-hole holes are the surface (mounting surface) of the conversion board 1510t. ) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty are processed to be flush with each other, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closed the through-hole holes are coated with a green coating film together with the through-hole lands. The conversion board is completely covered (filled with resin), and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 can be surface-mounted in a state of surface contact, so that the conversion board is connected without a gap. It is possible to prevent a short circuit between the 1510t and the peripheral control board 1510.

Further, although the control ROM 1510b is attached to and detached from the ROM socket 1510s, there is a possibility that a human hand intervenes in this work and accidentally damages the control ROM 1510b and the wiring pattern. Therefore, when the ROM socket 1510s is mounted on the conversion board 1510t and the wiring pattern formed on the control ROM 1510b or the conversion board 1510t is damaged, the conversion board 1510t is removed from the peripheral control board 1510 and replaced with a new one. The peripheral control board 1510 can be used as it is (the same one).

Further, only the ROM socket 1510s is mounted on the conversion board 1510t. As a result, when the ROM socket 1510s is damaged or the conversion board 1510t is damaged and replaced, only the smallest unit ROM socket 1510s and the conversion board 1510t are required.

Peripheral control to be soldered to the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t. The pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the substrate 1510 is arranged in the vicinity of the peripheral control IC 1510a described above. Since the peripheral control IC 1510a is an IC having a large package and is a surface mount type electronic component, such a surface mount type electronic component is particularly vulnerable to the deflection of the substrate (the connection terminal and lead terminal of the electronic component are vulnerable). It may come off from the surface of the board). Therefore, by mounting the conversion board 1510t near the peripheral control IC 1510a, it is possible to reinforce the deflection of the peripheral control board 1510.

Further, even if the control ROM 1510b having a read-type package is changed to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package is a conversion board 1510t provided with a removable ROM socket 1510s. Can be supported by mounting on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, even if the package of the control ROM 1510b is changed, the shape and arrangement of the pad 1510v of the peripheral control board 1510 and the pad 1510v can be changed. It is not necessary to modify the wiring pattern routing (the shape and arrangement of the pad 1510v and the wiring routing to the pad 1510v are the same), and the wiring pattern can be used in common.

Further, the control ROM 1510b is controlled when the peripheral control board 1510 is reused, when a sampling inspection (sample) for inspecting the presence or absence of a defect is performed in the manufacturing process, and when the control ROM 1510b is removed from the ROM socket 1510s using a dedicated tool. Even when the ROM 1510b is caught in the ROM socket 1510s and an external force is applied to the ROM socket 1510s, the peeling strength at which the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is peeled off from the base material of the conversion board 1510t is as described above. In addition, since the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is smaller than the peeling strength of peeling from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510, the conversion soldered to the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s. The surface of the peripheral control board 1510 soldered to the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t by peeling off the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the board 1510t from the base material of the conversion board 1510t. Since the pad 1510v formed on the (mounting surface) 1510x can be prevented from peeling off from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510, damage to the peripheral control board 1510 can be prevented. As a result, the conversion board 1510t on which the damaged ROM socket 1510s is mounted is removed from the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and the conversion board 1510t on which the new ROM socket 1510s is mounted is mounted on the surface of the peripheral control board 1510. (Mounting surface) It may be mounted on the peripheral control board 1510x, and can be used without replacing the peripheral control board 1510 itself with a new peripheral control board 1510.

Further, since the conversion board 1510t is surface-mounted on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and fixed in a state without a gap, the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and its periphery It is possible to make it difficult to illegally arrange electronic components with respect to the gap between the control board 1510 and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x.

Further, when changing from the control ROM 1510b having a read type package to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, it is necessary to use the conversion substrate 1510t as described above, but the thickness of the conversion substrate 1510t is different. As described above, since the peripheral control board 1510 is thinner than the plate thickness (1.6 mm) (0.8 mm or 1.0 mm), the peripheral control board 1510 is housed in the peripheral control board box 1505 (sealed board box). The predetermined height distance dimension from the upper surface of the control ROM 1510b mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 to the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505 is also converted at the maximum. The thickness of the substrate is about 1510 tons, and it is possible to maintain high noise resistance against noise invading from the cover body 1501.

Further, as described above, the control ROM 1510b is removed from the ROM socket 1510s by using a special tool when the peripheral control board 1510 is reused or when a sampling inspection (sample) for inspecting the presence or absence of a defect is performed in the manufacturing process. Is done. That is, the conversion board 1510t on which the control ROM 1510b is mounted uses a dedicated tool from the ROM socket 1510s when the peripheral control board 1510 is reused and when a sampling inspection (sample) for inspecting the presence or absence of a defect is performed in the manufacturing process. Will be removed. When changing from the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, as described above, although it is necessary to use the conversion board 1510t, the lead terminal is directed to the outside from the conversion board 1510t. Even if a person who is doing the work of removing the conversion board 1510t on which the control ROM 1510b is mounted from the ROM socket 1510s by using a special tool accidentally drops the conversion board 1510t on which the control ROM 1510b is mounted, the conversion board 1510t is not projected. Unlike the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package, the lead terminal does not bend, and it is possible to prevent the lead terminal from becoming unusable.

Further, as described above, end face through holes 1510tb having a semicircle shape are formed on both side surfaces of the conversion board 1510t in the longitudinal direction, and the diameter of the holes of the end face through holes 1510tb is the surface (mounting) of the conversion board 1510t. Surface) The pad 1510ta formed on the 1510tx is formed so as to have substantially the same width dimension (0.5 mm) as the shape (for example, a rectangular shape of 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm). Instead of this, the diameter of the hole of the end face through hole 1510tb is changed to the width dimension of the shape (for example, a rectangular shape of 2.5 mm × 0.5 mm) of the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t. The size may be larger than (0.5 mm) (for example, 0.6 mm to 0.7 mm). In this case, the end face through hole 1510tb has an arc shape shorter than that of the semicircle.

Further, the pad 1510v is arranged at a position corresponding to a plurality of lead terminals protruding outward from both side surfaces in the longitudinal direction in the lead type ROM socket to which the control ROM 1510b having the lead type package is attached and detached. By forming it on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and changing the target to be soldered to this pad 1510v, a mechanism that can respond to the change of the package was adopted, but other You may adopt the mechanism of. For example, as shown in FIG. 176 (a), the lead terminals 1510sc (70 in total) of the lead-type ROM socket 1510s'to which the control ROM 1510b having the lead-type package is attached / detached to the pad 1510v are soldered (that is, 70). The conversion board 1510t'to which the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package is soldered is mounted on the mounting portion 1510sa'of the ROM socket 1510s'. , The pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb'and 1510sb' are closed. The mounting portion 1510sa', the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb', 1510sb', and the plurality of lead terminals 1510sc' are the mounting portion 1510sa of the ROM socket 1510s shown in FIG. 173 (a), and the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb. , 1510sb, since the functions are the same as those of the plurality of read terminals 1510sc, the description thereof is omitted here.

Pads, wiring patterns, and lands to which the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package is soldered are formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx'and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty' of the conversion board 1510t'. A green resist layer is formed by a green coating film formed by applying a green resist solution on a layer (copper plane). The conversion board 1510t'may be described as a through hole (hereinafter, referred to as “through hole”) having a wiring pattern electrically connected lands formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty. .) Are formed, and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is plated with copper to have conductivity. The holes of the through holes are filled with an insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the holes of the through holes are flush with the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx'and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty'. One end and the other end of the insulating resin that closed the through-hole holes are completely covered with a green coating film (resin-filled) together with the lands.

Further, protrusions protruding downward are formed at both ends of the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty'of the conversion substrate 1510t'in the longitudinal direction, and pads are formed on the protrusions. This pad is arranged at a position corresponding to the lead terminal 1510sc'of the ROM socket 1510s', and a total of 70 pads are formed by 35 at one end and 35 at the other end.

The points (center points) where the line connecting the centers of the upper and lower sides of the ROM socket 1510s and the lines connecting the centers of the left side and the right side intersect are arranged so as to coincide with each other (including cases where they almost match).

When changing from the control ROM 1510b having a read type package to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, it is necessary to correct the board control number of the peripheral control board 1510. Here, the board control number of the peripheral control board 1510 is used. Will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 177. FIGS. 177 (a) to 177 (c) are schematic views showing board control numbers of peripheral control boards. Since the parts mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 are changed, it becomes necessary to change the board management number of the peripheral control board 1510.

As shown in FIG. 177 (a), a foil removal region KBRGN (that is, a wiring pattern) is placed on a predetermined position (for example, one of the four corners of the peripheral control board 1510) of the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. On the formed copper foil surface, a region formed by removing the copper foil except for each terminal and wiring pattern) is formed, and a common part of the control number (a common part of the control number (region) is left-justified in the foil removal region KBRGN. In the figure, “XYZA”) is used as the board control number to form the foil removal character KBNUM in the wiring pattern, and the foil removal area KBRGN is formed by the green resist liquid solidly applied to the surface (mounting surface) 1510 of the peripheral control board 1510. Each of the foil-free characters KBNUM is covered.

When the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package is changed to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, for example, as shown in FIG. 177 (b), a laser marker is used to left in the foil removal region KBRGN. Following the foil-free letter KBNUM placed in the packing, the symbol HKBNUM (alphabet A in the figure) is printed (drilled to a predetermined depth from the surface along the symbol HKBNUM), and a conversion substrate is used with a laser marker. For each replacement (including repair) of 1510t, the substrate control number (“XYZAA” in the figure) can be obtained by printing the symbol HKBNUM after the foil removal character KBNUM. The board control number may be changed by erasing a part of the foil-free characters with a laser marker, or the board may be erased by erasing a part of the foil-free characters and adding characters. You may change the control number.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 177 (c), the foil removal character KBNUM is formed by the wiring pattern using the common part of the control number (“XYZ-” in the figure) as the board control number, and the foil removal area KBRGN is formed. Is another region, and the foil removing regions RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 are formed in the vicinity region (in the figure, directly below the foil removing region KBRRGN), and symbols are formed in the foil removing regions RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 (in the same figure). The foil-removed characters are formed by a wiring pattern as alphabetic characters A, B, and C), and the foil-removing area KBRGN and the area RGN1 are formed by a green resist liquid that is solidly applied to the surface (mounting surface) 1510 of the peripheral control board 1510. , RGN2 and RGN3 are covered, respectively. Perforations are formed around the regions RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 by a router so that the regions RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 can be removed from the peripheral control board 1510. In the state where the regions RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 are not removed from the peripheral control board 1510, the board control number of the peripheral control board 1510 is "XYZA-ABC". When changing from the control ROM 1510b having a read type package to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, any one, two, or all of the areas RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 are removed from the peripheral control board 1510. By doing so, it can be used as a board control number.

[8-2. Backup power supply]
The backup power supply circuit 630h includes capacitors BC0 and BC1. The capacitor BC0 supplies backup power to the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 (hereinafter, referred to as “main control built-in RAM”), and the capacitor BC1 is used for payout control in the payout control board 633. A backup power supply is supplied to the RAM built in the payout control MPU 633aa of the unit 633a (hereinafter, referred to as “payout control built-in RAM”).

+ 5V of the power supply making circuit 630f + 5V created by the power supply making circuit 630fa is supplied to the payout control board 633. The + 5V supplied to the payout control board 633 becomes a + 5V power supply line in the payout control board 633 via the payout control filter circuit 633h, is applied to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU633aa, and is a RAM with a built-in payout control via the diode PD0. It is designed to be applied to the power supply terminal of. The + 12V created by the + 12V power supply making circuit 630fb of the power supply making circuit 630f is supplied to the + 5V making circuit 1310g of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. This + 5V creation circuit 1310g creates + 5V from + 12V from the payout control board 633 as a local power source to be a control power source for the main control MPU 1310a. + 5V created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g (hereinafter, may be referred to as “main control board side creation + 5V”) is created by the main control board side in the main control board 1310 via the main control filter circuit 1310h + 5V power supply. It becomes a line and is supplied to the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and is also supplied to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM via the diode MD0. The + 5V created by the + 5V power supply creating circuit 630fa of the power supply creating circuit 630f in the power supply board 630 and the + 5V (created by the main control board side + 5V) created by the + 5V creating circuit 1310g provided in the main control board 1310 are electric. They are not connected to each other and are independent of each other.

The negative terminal of the capacitor BC1 of the power supply board 630 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the power supply board 630, while the positive terminal of the capacitor BC1 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control board 633. It is also electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode PD0 of the payout control board 633. That is, the + 5V created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa of the power supply creation circuit 630 on the power supply board 630 causes a current to flow toward the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU633aa, and the power supply of the discharge control built-in RAM which is forward by the diode PD0. A current flows toward the terminal and the positive terminal of the capacitor BC1.

As described above, in the capacitor BC1, the + 5V created by the + 5V power supply making circuit 630fa of the power supply making circuit 630f in the power supply board 630 is electrically returned from the payout control board 633 and again from the payout control board 633 to the power supply board 630. + 5V is supplied and can be charged by various connection methods. As a result, when the + 5V created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa of the power supply creation circuit 630f is no longer supplied to the payout control board 633, the charge charged in the capacitor BC1 is supplied to the payout control board 633 as the payout VBB. Therefore, although the payout control MPU633aa does not operate because the current is obstructed by the diode PD0 at the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU633aa, the payout VBB is supplied to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM. The stored contents of the built-in RAM for payout control are retained.

The negative terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the power supply board 630 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the power supply board 630, while the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0 has a built-in main control of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. It is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the RAM and is also electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode MD0 of the main control board 1310. That is, the + 5V (created on the main control board side + 5V) created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g causes a current to flow toward the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and is forwarded by the diode MD0 to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM. , Current flows toward the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0.

In this way, the capacitor BC0 is an electrical connection method in which + 5V (main control board side creation + 5V) created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g is supplied from the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 to the power supply board 630. As a result, + 5V created on the main control board side is supplied and can be charged. As a result, + 12V created by the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb of the power supply creation circuit 630f in the power supply board 630 is not supplied to the + 5V creation circuit 1310g of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633, and the + 5V creation circuit 1310g is + 5V. When it becomes impossible to create (main control board side creation + 5V), the electric charge charged in the capacitor BC0 is supplied to the main control board 1310 as the main VBB via the payout control board 633. Therefore, the main control MPU1310a does not operate because the current is obstructed by the diode MD0 at the power supply terminal of the main control MPU1310a, but the main control is supplied to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM. The stored contents of the built-in RAM are retained.

[8-3. Power supply to each control board, etc.]
Next, the outline of the power supply supplied to each control board and the like will be described, and then the power supply mainly supplied to the payout control board and the power supply supplied to the main control board will be described.

The three types of power supplies, + 5V, + 12V, and + 24V, respectively, created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa, the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb, and the + 24V power supply creation circuit 630fc in the power supply board 630 are as shown in FIG. 178. Of these three types of power supplies, two types of power supplies, + 12V and + 24V, are supplied to the payout control board 633, and are supplied to the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. The three types of power supplies created by the + 5V power supply creation circuit 630fa, the + 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb, and the + 24V power supply creation circuit 630fc of the power supply creation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630 are transferred to the interface board 635. In addition to being supplied, the peripheral control board 1510, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, and the like are supplied via the interface board 635, respectively.

The three types of power supplies, + 5V, + 12V, and + 24V, which are supplied to the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc., are blown by the overcurrent flowing to each of these power supply lines. A + 5V fuse (not shown), a + 12V fuse (not shown), and a + 24V fuse (not shown) may be provided on the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, and the like, respectively.

In particular, the + 12V power supply line and the + 24V power supply line are monitored for a decrease in potential by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310, and the potential of the + 12V power supply line and the potential of the + 12V power supply line decrease. When the power failure warning signal is output to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 and the payout control MPU 633aa of the payout control board 633, the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power cutoff process in the main control side power on time process described later. The payout control MPU633aa performs a payout control unit power cutoff process in the payout control unit power on time process described later to stop the payout progress (operation of paying out the game ball as a prize ball). Will be done.

Therefore, when a + 12V fuse (not shown) and a + 24V fuse (not shown) are provided on the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc., respectively, the main control board 1310 constituting the main board is provided. When the payout control board 633 is operating normally, the interface board 635 and the door frame main are in the + 12V power supply line and the + 24V power supply line such as the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, and the door frame clothing relay board 105. An electrical trouble to the relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc. may cause a leakage current or a short circuit (short circuit), resulting in an interface board 635, a door frame main relay board 104, etc. When an overcurrent flows through the door frame clothing relay board 105 and the like, the + 12V fuse and the + 24V fuse provided on the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105 and the like are blown. be able to.

It is mainly composed of a maximum current setting circuit that can be used. The + 12V fuse (not shown) has a preset capacity in consideration of the current used in each decorative board of the door frame 3 in the + 12V power supply line of the decorative board, and the upper limit of the allowable current of the decorative board on the door frame side (the upper limit of the allowable current of the decorative board on the door frame side). The current can flow up to the breaking current).

[9-1-3c. + 12V power outage or momentary power failure monitoring]
As described above, the monitoring of the + 12V power failure or momentary power failure is performed by comparing the monitoring voltage V2 of the comparator MIC21 with the reference voltage Vref by the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21. As shown in FIG. 181, the 5th terminal, which is the positive terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21 to which the monitoring voltage V2 of + 12V is applied, is created at one end by the + 12V power supply line (+ 12V power supply creation circuit 630fb of the power supply creation circuit 630f). The other end of the resistor MR24, which is electrically connected to the supplied power supply line (that is, the + 12V power supply line), and the other end of the resistor MR25, one end of which is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground). Are electrically connected, and the other ends of the resistors MR24 and MR25 and the other end of the capacitor MC25, one end of which is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground), are electrically connected. The + 12V monitoring voltage V2 applied to the 5th terminal, which is the positive terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21, is divided by + 12V by the resistance ratio of the resistors MR24 and MR25, and the ripple is removed by the capacitor MC25 and smoothed. The values of the resistors MR24 and MR25 are the power failure detection voltage V2pf (set to 10.47V in this embodiment) set in advance when the voltage starts to drop from + 12V when + 12V has a power failure or momentary power failure. When it becomes, the monitoring voltage V2 of + 12V is set to be the same value as the reference voltage Vref.

Electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor MR23, which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line, and electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC24, one end of which is electrically connected to ground (GND) (board ground). It is electrically connected to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22. As described above, the capacitor MC24 plays a role as a low-pass filter.

When the + 12V voltage is larger than the failure detection voltage V2pf, the + 12V monitoring voltage V2 becomes larger than the reference voltage Vref, and the voltage applied to the 7th terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21, is mainly due to the pull-up resistor MR23. The signal that is pulled up to the control board side creation + 5V side and whose logic is HI is input to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22.

On the other hand, when the voltage of + 12V is smaller than the failure detection voltage V2pf, the monitoring voltage V2 of + 12V becomes smaller than the reference voltage Vref, and the voltage applied to the 7th terminal which is the output terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21 is ground (GND).

The D-type flip-flop MIC22 stores the value (logic) of the signal input to the 1D terminal, which is the D input terminal, due to the change in the edge of the clock signal input to the 1CK terminal, which is the clock input terminal, and this stored value. (Logic) is output from the 1Q terminal which is an output terminal, and the value obtained by inverting the stored value (logic) is output from the negative logic 1Q terminal which is an output terminal. Further, the D type flip-flop MIC22 releases the latch state when a signal whose logic is LOW is input to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal, and inputs the logic of the signal input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. The inverted signal is output from the 1Q terminal which is the output terminal (at this time, the logic of the signal output from 1Q is inverted, that is, the logic of the signal input to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal is the same. (The logic signal is output from the negative logic 1Q terminal) On the other hand, when the signal whose logic is HI is input to the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal, the latch state is set. Further, in the D type flip flop MIC22, when a signal whose logic is HI is input to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal and the latch state is set, the logic is LOW to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. When the signal becomes Maintain the state of output from the 1Q terminal).

Alternatively, a signal from the 7th terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21 that monitors the momentary power failure, and a signal from the 7th terminal are input, and based on these signals, a signal is output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal. The Vcc terminal, which is a power supply terminal, is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC22 whose one end is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground), and is a power supply terminal of the D type flip flop MIC22. The + 5V created on the main control board side applied to a certain Vcc terminal is smoothed by removing ripples by the capacitor MC22, and the GND terminal, which is a ground terminal, is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground). The negative logic 1Q terminal that inverts the logic of the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal, is not electrically connected to the outside.

In the D-type flip-flop MIC22, in the present embodiment, a power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is input to the CLR terminal, which is a clear terminal, via the main control output circuit 1310c. The power failure clear signal is output started and stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed in the main control side power-on processing described later performed by the main control MPU 1310a. Since the CLR terminal is a negative logic input, the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is input to the CLR terminal with its logic LOW via the main control output circuit 1310c. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 is designed to release the latch state when a power failure clear signal is input to the CLR terminal. At this time, the logic input to the PR terminal, which is a preset terminal, is inverted and the output terminal is output. It is output from the 1Q terminal.

On the other hand, when the output of the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is stopped, the logic becomes HI via the main control output circuit 1310c and is input to the CLR terminal. The D-type flip-flop MIC 22 is designed to set a latch state when a power failure clear signal is not input to the CLR terminal, and latches the state in which the logic is LOW and is input to the PR terminal.

Contrary to the case where the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5 is prioritized over the effect by the motor), the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5 is higher than the light emission effect of the various LEDs. When the effect of the + 12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of 5 is prioritized and continued, the fuse provided in the + 12V system driver circuit (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510 is blown rather than blown. The capacity of the + 12V fuse (not shown) of each decorative board of the game board 5 and the + 12V system driver circuit (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510 are blown so that the + 12V fuse (not shown) of each decorative board (5) is blown first.

In the pachinko machine 1, the main control board 1310 is an important board that controls the progress of the game. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the main control board 1310 from a person who tries to acquire an illegal game ball by making an illegal modification to the main control board 1310. Therefore, the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 composed of the transparent cover body 1301 and the transparent base body 1302, and the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are caulked portions having a sealing mechanism. It is crimped by, for example, a one-way screw of 1303.

The caulking portion 1303 is a sealing mechanism and includes a plurality of the caulking portions 1303. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by caulking the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 with a one-way screw or the like of the caulking portion 1303 using one sealing mechanism, and then the main control board box 1320 is opened. Needs to destroy its sealing mechanism. That is, the cover body 1301 cannot be removed from the base body 1302 unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed.

As described above, the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are made of polycarbonate resin and are transparently molded. The main control board 1310 can be accommodated in the internal space formed by the cover body 1301 and the base body. Since the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are transparently molded of polycarbonate resin, the state (illegal modification is performed) on the mounting surface (front surface) side and the solder surface (back surface) side of the main control board 1310. Whether or not it is installed, or whether or not an unauthorized IC is mounted) can be confirmed from the outside of the main control board box 1320. Further, the main control board box 1320 is provided with a plurality of sealing mechanisms corresponding to the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302, respectively, and when the main control board box 1320 is closed by using one sealing mechanism, the next step is In order to open the main control board box 1320, it is necessary to destroy the sealing mechanism, and it is possible to leave a trace of opening and closing of the main control board box 1320. Therefore, by looking at the traces of opening and closing, it is possible to detect unauthorized opening and closing of the main control board box 1320, and the deterrence against illegal acts on the main control board 1310 is enhanced.

Briefly explaining the method of assembling the main control board box 1320, as shown in FIG. 183 (a), the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310 faces (faces) the bottom surface of the cover body 1301. Arranged so that various connectors MCN1 to MCN8 and a part of the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310 are exposed from the openings formed in the corresponding cover bodies 1301. Subsequently, fixing screws are inserted through the through holes formed at the four corners of the main control board 1310 from the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board, respectively, toward the mounting boss holes formed at the inner four corners of the cover body 1301. The main control board 1310 can be fixed to the inner space of the cover body 1301 by screwing it in. Subsequently, the base body 1302 is arranged at a predetermined position so as to substantially close the opening side of the cover body 1301, and the base body 1302 is moved in a specific direction (in the direction of the arrow in the figure) along the longitudinal direction of the cover body 1301. The outer peripheral surface of the base body 1302 fits within the inner peripheral surface of the cover body 1301 by sliding toward (moving distance dimension sd), and the opening side of the cover body 1301 is completely closed, so that the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 The main control board 1310 is housed in the space formed by the above. Subsequently, by screwing the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 with a one-way screw or the like of the caulking portion 1303 and caulking the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302, the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are fixed as shown in FIG. The control board box 1320 is sealed (ie, the main control board box 1320 can be closed).

In addition, on the inner wall of the cover body 1301, when the main control board 1310 is attached to the bottom surface of the cover body 1301, a cover body side rib portion 1301 rb that can come into contact with the outer periphery of the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310 is provided. A plurality of pieces are formed so as to be separated by a predetermined distance. Further, the base body 1302 is formed with a plurality of base body side rib portions 1302rb that can come into contact with the outer periphery of the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 at a predetermined distance. In a state where the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320, the cover body side rib portion 1301 rb in which a plurality of main control boards 1310 are formed in the cover body 1301 and the base body side rib portion 1302 rb formed in a plurality of base body 1302. It is in a state of being arranged (sandwiched) in the space formed by the above.

Further, the base body 1302 is formed with a protrusion 1302p capable of contacting the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310. ing. When the setting key is inserted into the setting key switch 1311a, the protruding portion 1302p comes into contact with the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 when the main control board 1310 bends and bends due to the inserted force. As a result, it is possible to prevent the main control board 1310 from bending and bending further, and to prevent the wiring pattern formed on the main control board 1310 from being broken or the solder from being peeled off.

[11. Setting key switch]
Next, the setting key switch 1311a will be described with reference to FIG. 184. FIG. 184 is a perspective view (a) seen from the front right diagonal of the setting key switch, a perspective view (b) seen from the front left diagonal of the setting key switch, and a top view (c) of the setting key switch. .. Here, an example will be described in which the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the setting change board 1311 described above is mounted on the main control board 1310.

The setting key switch 1311a is of a type in which a resin setting key cylinder that is rotated by inserting a setting key is housed inside a resin outer cylinder (hereinafter, "resin type"). It may be described as "setting key switch 1311a") and a type in which a metal setting key cylinder that is rotated by inserting a setting key into a metal tubular outer cylinder is housed. (Hereinafter, it may be referred to as "metal type setting key switch 1311a"). The structure of the resin type setting key switch 1311a and the metal type setting key switch 1311a are the same, but the materials are partially different.

[11-1. Resin type setting key switch]
As shown in FIGS. 184 (a) and 184 (b), the resin type setting key switch 1311a is set with respect to the non-conductive resin tubular outer cylinder 1311aa and the inside of the outer cylinder 1311aa. A non-conductive resin setting key cylinder 1311ab to which a key is inserted and rotated is connected to an outer cylinder 1311aa, and a circuit for turning on or off a contact by rotating the setting key cylinder 1311ab is formed. A non-conductive resin rectangular base body 1311ac and a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa are formed at positions corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa and bent so as to cover the surface and side surfaces of the base body 1311ac. A pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada projecting rearward of the base body 1311ac are composed of a metal frame plate 1311ad formed on both side surfaces (front side surface and rear side surface in the figure).

The front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa is arranged substantially in the same plane as the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab. On the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, an insertion port 1311ab for inserting a metal setting key is provided. As shown in FIG. 184 (c), the metal setting key is used when the rotation position of the setting key cylinder 1311ab is at the insertion / removal reference position 1311aaa formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa (that is, the setting key of the setting key switch 1311a). Insert into the insertion port 1311aba at a position where the setting key is ready to be inserted into the insertion port 1311aba formed on the front surface of the cylinder 1311ab (at a position where the longitudinal direction of the insertion port 1311aba having a rectangular shape is along the vertical direction). At the same time, it can be pulled out from the insertion port 1311aba. The base body 1311ac has two lead terminals made of copper separated from the side surface rotated by 90 degrees with the pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada formed on the frame plate 1311ad by a predetermined distance dimension on both side surfaces (in the figure, in the figure). It is formed on the right side surface and the left side surface).

In the figure, the COM1 terminal which is the upper lead terminal on the left side surface and the COM2 terminal which is the lower lead terminal on the left side surface are common terminals, and either one terminal or both ends can be used. The A terminal, which is the upper lead terminal on the right side, and the B terminal, which is the lower lead terminal on the right side, are bases when the rotation position of the setting key cylinder 1311ab is at the insertion / removal reference position 1311aaa formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa. By the circuit formed in the body 1311ac, the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal and the A terminal are electrically connected to be conductive, and the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal and the B terminal are electrically disconnected to be disconnected (this). (The signal of setting key OFF of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted.) On the other hand, when the rotation position of the setting key cylinder 1311ab is rotated by 60 degrees from the insertion / removal reference position 1311aaa formed in the outer cylinder 1311aa, By the circuit formed in the base body 1311ac, the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal and the A terminal are electrically disconnected to be cut off, and the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal and the B terminal are electrically connected to be conductive (the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal and the B terminal are electrically connected to each other. As a result, the ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted). The distance dimension between the terminals of the COM1 terminal and the COM2 terminal and the distance dimension between the terminals of the A terminal and the B terminal have the same distance dimension.

The pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada projecting from the metal frame plate 1311ad to the rear of the base body 1311ac are mainly set key switches 1311a by being soldered on the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310. It can be fixed to the control board 1310. The A terminal, B terminal, COM1 terminal, and COM2 terminal of the base body 1311ac are soldered on the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310. On the back surface side of the base body 1311ac, when the setting key switch 1311a is mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310, the setting key is set so that the insertion / removal reference position 1311aa faces upward as shown in the figure. A cylindrical protrusion (not shown) that specifies the arrangement direction of the switch 1311a is formed so as to project. Due to this columnar protrusion, when the manufacturer operator mounts the setting key switch 1311a on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310, for example, the setting key switch 1311a is turned upside down (wrongly) and soldered. It can be prevented from being attached.

When a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311ab formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, even if electromagnetic wave noise enters through the metal setting key, a resin type setting key switch is used. As described above, since the outer cylinder 1311aa, the setting key cylinder 1311ab, and the base body 1311ac are each made of non-conductive resin, the 1311a is connected to the A terminal, the B terminal, the COM1 terminal, and the COM2 terminal. There is no influence of.

[11-2. Metal type setting key switch]
Next, the metal type setting key switch 1311a is a metal setting key cylinder that is rotated by inserting a setting key into the metal tubular outer cylinder 1311aa and the inside of the outer cylinder 1311aa. The 1311ab has the same configuration as the resin type setting key switch 1311a in that the material in the same configuration as the resin type setting key switch 1311a described above is different. Further, the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are molded of metal, and the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are electrically connected to each other. Although the outer cylinder 1311aa is connected to the non-conductive resin base body 1311ac, the metal frame plate 1311ad is formed with a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa at a position corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa. It covers the surface and sides of the base body 1311ac. That is, when a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, if electromagnetic wave noise enters through the metal setting key, as described above, the outer cylinder 1311aa and Since the setting key cylinder 1311ab is electrically connected, electromagnetic wave noise may invade the metal frame plate 1311ad.

[11-3. Relationship between the setting key switch and the cover of the main control board box]
Here, the relationship between the setting key switch 1311a and the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 will be described with reference to FIG. 185. FIG. 185 is a schematic view showing the relationship between the setting key switch and the cover body of the main control board box.

As described above, an insertion port 1311aba for inserting a metal setting key is provided on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a. When the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) is from the cover body 1301 of the main control board box. As shown in FIG. 185, the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 has a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the setting key cylinder 1311ab at a position corresponding to the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a so as to be exposed. For example, a tubular rib portion 1301za (tube-shaped rib portion 1301za) having a predetermined distance dimension toward the main control board 1310 along the inner circumference of the through hole 1301z having a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the setting key cylinder 1311ab). The thickness of the cover body 1301 is the same as the thickness of the cover body 1301). The inner circumference of the through hole 1301z and the inner circumference of the tubular rib portion 1301za communicate with each other so as to have the same inner peripheral surface without a step. As a result, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane (that is, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a). It will be flush).

Since the through hole 1301z is also a portion where the finger or fist of a person accessing the setting key switch 1311a hits, the rib portion 1301za can increase the strength around the through hole 1301z. As a result, the circumference of the through hole 1301z is pushed by human force to bend the circumference of the through hole 1301z to increase the gap between the through hole 1301z and the setting key cylinder 1311ab, or the circumference of the through hole 1301z is damaged and penetrated. Since it is possible to prevent the gap between the through hole 1301z and the setting key cylinder 1311ab from being increased by increasing the outer diameter of the hole 1301z, for example, a person who illegally accesses the setting key switch 1311a can finger intentionally. Even if a fist is pushed around the through hole 1301z, it can contribute to preventing an elongated illegal tool such as a wire from being inserted in the gap between the through hole 1301z and the setting key cylinder 1311ab.

The diameter of the through hole 1301z is set to fit inside the rectangular shape which is the surface shape of the base body 1311ac having the rectangular parallelepiped of the setting key switch 1311a. The end of the rib portion 1301za and the surface of the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a are separated by a distance dimension d1 (about 2 mm in this embodiment), and the metal frame plate of the setting key switch 1311a is separated. The 1311ad is configured so that it cannot be directly touched by a person who accesses the setting key switch 1311a.

As a result, the “gap between the through hole 1301z of the cover body 1301 and the rib portion 1310za and the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a (in this embodiment, the diameter of the through hole 1301z is 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the setting key cylinder 1311ab”. Since it is formed, the gap is 1 mm.) ”Even if an elongated fraudulent tool such as a wire is inserted, the diameter of the through hole 1301z is the surface shape of the base body 1311ac having the rectangular body of the setting key switch 1311a. Since it is formed so as to fit inside the rectangular shape, the tip of the elongated fraudulent tool hits the surface of the base body 1311ac and bends so that it cannot invade toward the main control board 1310. That is, it is possible to prevent the main control board 1310 from being modified.

Further, in the resin type setting key switch 1311a, as described above, the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are each molded of non-conductive resin, so that a person who is temporarily charged with static electricity can set the setting. Even if a finger is brought close to or touched on the front surface of the key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab), electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge is generated via the setting key switch 1311a on the main control board. It is possible to prevent the invasion of 1310. Further, the distance dimension d1 is between the end of the rib portion 1301za formed along the outer periphery of the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover body 1301 and the surface of the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a. Since the distance is only (about 2 mm in this embodiment), a person who is charged with static electricity may bring his or her finger close to or touch the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover body 1301 and its surroundings. However, since it becomes difficult for electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge to enter the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a via the through hole 1301z and the rib portion 1301za, the main control board via the setting key switch 1311a. It is possible to prevent the invasion of 1310.

In the metal type setting key switch 1311a, as described above, the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are molded of metal, and the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are electrically connected. It is in the state of being done. Although the outer cylinder 1311aa is connected to the non-conductive resin base body 1311ac, the metal frame plate 1311ad is formed with a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa at a position corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa. It covers the surface and sides of the base body 1311ac. That is, if a person with static electricity brings his or her finger close to or touches the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover body 1301 and its surroundings, electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge will be generated as the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key. Since the cylinder 1311ab is electrically connected, electromagnetic wave noise may invade the metal frame plate 1311ad. Therefore, if a person with static electricity brings his or her finger close to or touches the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover body 1301 and its surroundings, electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge will be generated by the metal frame plate 1311ad. There is a risk of invading the main control board 1310 via the setting key switch 1311a.

Further, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane (surface). Therefore, when the operator attaches the game board 5 to the main body frame 4 of the pachinko machine 1 installed in the island equipment of the game hall, first, the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 and its surroundings are used. For temporary placement, it is possible to prevent the setting key switch 1311a from colliding with the floor and being damaged if the temporarily placed game board 5 is accidentally placed and the operator's leg hits the game board 5 and is overturned. can. Further, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane (surface). Therefore, even when the game board 5 is removed from the main body frame 4 of the pachinko machine 1, the removed game board 5 is temporarily placed in or around the front surface of the pachinko machine 1. It is possible to prevent the setting key switch 1311a from colliding with the floor and being damaged when the operator's leg hits the game board 5 and falls over while the game board 5 is being worked.

The front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane (surface). Therefore, a protective cover (the protective cover is made of polycarbonate resin and is transparent) that protects the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab). (Molded) may be provided on the cover body 1301.

[11-4. Relationship between the setting key switch and the base body of the main control board box]

The portion 1302p is formed. When a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311ab formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, the protruding portion 1302p is mainly controlled when the main control board 1310 is curved and bent by the inserted force. By abutting on the solder surface (back surface) of the substrate 1310, the main control board 1310 can be prevented from bending and bending any more, and the wiring pattern formed on the main control board 1310 can be broken or the solder can be peeled off. It can be prevented.

When the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 and the metal setting key is not inserted into the insertion port 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab (or the setting key cylinder). When the 1311ab is rotated 60 degrees clockwise and turned ON, and the pressing by the setting key is released by releasing the hand from the setting key))), as shown in FIG. 185, the main control board 1310 The solder surface (back surface) of the above and the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p are separated by a distance dimension d2 (about 1 mm in this embodiment) as a clearance, and when the setting key cylinder 1311ab is not pressed, the setting key cylinder 1311ab is not pressed. The solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 and the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p do not come into contact with each other.

The protruding portion 1302p has a cylindrical shape and a constant width along the longitudinal direction of the base body 1302 (in the present embodiment, the same dimension as the outer diameter of the protruding portion 1302p having a cylindrical shape is defined as a constant width dimension. .), And some have.

[11-4-1. Wiring to the setting key switch 1311a]
As shown in FIG. 186 (a), the setting key switch 1311a is located near the lower side of the main control board 1310 and is a side surface of the rectangular parallelepiped base body 1311ac of the setting key switch 1311a (the insertion / removal reference position formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa). The side surface opposite to the lower side surface of 1311aaa) is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x so as to be parallel to the lower side of the main control board 1310. That is, the setting key switch 1311a is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x so that the insertion / removal reference position 1311aaa formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa faces the upper side of the main control board 1310.

Specifically, a long slot along the left-right direction (longitudinal direction) of the main control board 1310 through which a pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada formed on the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a can be inserted. Long through holes SLH1 and SLH2 (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "long through holes SLH1 and SLH2") having a pair of opposed lands having a shape are formed in the vertical direction of the main control board 1310. , Through-holes SLTH1 and SLTH2 (hereinafter, simply " It may be described as "through hole SLTH1, SLTH2"), and the COM1 terminal and COM2 terminal, which are two lead terminals formed on the left side surface of the base body 1311ac of the setting key switch 1311a, can be inserted, respectively.

When the setting key switch 1311a is mounted on the surface (surface) 1310x, it is on the center line in the left-right direction of the setting key switch 1311a and is surrounded by through holes SLTH1, SLTH2, SLTH3, SLTH4 and long through holes SLH1, SLH2. It is formed in the area.

As shown in FIG. 186 (b), for example, through-hole SLTH4 through which the COM2 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted and soldered to the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a. A vertical linear wiring pattern SPTN1 that electrically connects the through-hole SLTH 3 through which the COM1 terminal is inserted and soldered is formed by being linearly routed along the vertical direction of the main control board 1310. That is, since the vertical linear wiring pattern SPTN1 is linearly routed from the through hole SLTH4 toward the through hole SLTH4, its length is the minimum length.

Further, through-hole SLTH3 through which the COM1 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted and soldered and the A terminal of the setting key switch 1311a are inserted and soldered to the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. The left-right direction linear wiring pattern SPTN2 that electrically connects the through-hole SLTH 1 is formed linearly along the left-right direction (longitudinal direction) of the main control board. That is, since the horizontal linear wiring pattern SPTN2 is linearly routed from the through hole SLTH3 to the through hole SLTH1 in parallel with the lower side of the main control board 1310, its length becomes the minimum length. There is.

Further, a through hole SLTH1 through which the A terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted and soldered to the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 and the main control input circuit 1310b (one end thereof is mainly used) shown in FIG. 179. The other end of the resistor MR10 electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line created on the control board side, or the other end of the capacitor MC10 whose one end is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (board ground)) is electrically connected. A plurality of bending wiring patterns SPTN3 connected to the main control board 1310 are bent and routed in the vertical and horizontal directions.

Further, on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, there are no wiring patterns electrically connected to the through hole SLTH2 through which the B terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted and soldered, and the main control board 1310 does not have various wiring patterns. It is electrically connected to the betagland (GND) (board ground) of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the control board 1310 and the betagland (GND) (board ground) of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310.

The opening side of the cover body 1301 is completely closed. Therefore, when the base body 1302 is slid and moved in a specific direction along the longitudinal direction of the cover body 1301, the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 also slides and moves in the specific direction together with the base body 1302. It will be. During this slide movement, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p may come into contact with and rub against the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 to damage the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. Therefore, various wiring patterns are not routed around the region where the protrusion 1302p slides and moves around the region. That is, when the protrusion 1302p slides and moves, the various wiring patterns are routed so that the protrusion 1302p does not straddle the various wiring patterns. Thereby, when the work of assembling the main control board box 1320 is performed, it is possible to prevent various wiring patterns from being damaged by the slidingly moving protrusion 1302p.

Although such announcing voice is repeatedly played from various speakers, it is attached to the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 before the next announcement voice starts to be played, assuming that the content of the announcement voice may be overlooked. By visually observing the seal, the location of the RWM switch 633d can be known. In the announcement voice, in addition to "The RWM switch is on the payout control board. The RWM switch also serves as the setting changeover button. Operate the RWM switch to change the set value." You may also guide the content that tells you where the sticker is affixed. When the RWM switch is operated, the main control MPU 1310a transmits a predetermined command to the peripheral control board 1510, so that the peripheral control board 1510 stops the announcement voice. Even if a person who changes the setting of the set value becomes accustomed to changing the setting of the set value due to the work and is jarring, if he / she operates the RWM switch immediately after starting the work, this will be an opportunity. The announcement voice can be stopped promptly, and if it is unavoidable to perform the work after the game hall is open, the player will not be inconvenienced immediately after starting the work. When the RWM switch is operated, the announcement voice can be stopped promptly. In addition, following such an announcement voice, an announcement voice that conveys the operation method of the setting key after the setting value is determined may be played from various speakers. Further, the image "setting" may be displayed on the effect display device 1600 while the announcement voice is being played.

[11-6. Procedure for changing the setting of the setting value, procedure for confirming the setting value]
Next, the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310, the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633, and the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310. ), The base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display will be briefly described. Here, first, the case of changing the setting of the setting value will be briefly described, and then the case of confirming and displaying the current setting value will be briefly described. In addition to changing the set value, the setting key is an important key that allows you to check the current set value, so only a limited number of people, including the manager of the game hall, can own it. Allowed and limited to 2-3 people.

When changing the setting of the set value, the main body frame is relative to the outer frame 2 when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is turned clockwise 60. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the rotation operation and the ON operation, and the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 is operated. It is necessary that the "predetermined setting value change permission condition" is satisfied. That is, the person who actually changes the setting of the set value first confirms the state in which the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the state in which the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned off), and then for the outer frame 2. Work to open the main body frame 4, then insert the metal setting key into the insertion port 1311ab of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and rotate it 60 degrees clockwise to turn it on. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on, and then the power switch 630a is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while operating the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d.

A person who changes the setting of the set value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned off), and then sets the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2. Perform the work of opening, then insert the metal setting key into the insertion port 1311ab of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and rotate the setting key cylinder 60 degrees clockwise to turn it on. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key switch 1311a. Subsequently, while operating the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d, the power switch 630a is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1. As a result, the setting key ON signal is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU 1310a is set among the current set values (set values 1 to 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is turned on) stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM. The value) is displayed on the base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display.

As described above, the base monitor 1310h is composed of six 7-segment LED displays with a decimal point (so-called dots) connected in a row, and can display numerical values up to 6 digits. Is. When the base monitor 1310h functions as a setting display, the setting value is displayed on the 7-segment LED display arranged on the rightmost side of the 6-segment LED displays arranged in a row (that is, 6 digits). It may be set to (one digit displaying the ones digit) (in this case, the dot may be turned on or off. In addition, the dot may also function as a setting change permission lamp). In this case, it is turned on when the setting change is being made and turned off when the setting change is completed.) One of the six 7-segment LED displays in a row is the 7-segment LED display. The set value is displayed on the device, a plurality of 7-segment LED displays, or all 7-segment LED displays (in this case, the dots may be turned on or off. Also, the dots may be changed. If it also functions as a lamp, it may be turned on when the setting change is being made and turned off when the setting change is completed.)

When a person who changes the setting of the set value presses the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633, the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is mainly transmitted from the payout control board 633. It is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the control board 1310. Each time the person who changes the setting of the set value presses the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d, the main control MPU1310a increases by 1 from the current set value based on the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d. When the maximum value of the set value of 6 is reached, the value returns to the initial value of the set value of 1, the value is increased by 1 again, and the set value is controlled to be displayed on the base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display.

When determining the set value, the person who changes the setting of the set value sets the setting key switch 1311a to the initial position (that is, the setting key switch 1311a) which is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is turned on. Set to turn off Turn the key cylinder 60 degrees counterclockwise so that it returns to the rotation position of the key cylinder. This setting key OFF signal is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a stores the set value determined by changing the setting in a specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a, and sets the set value for the base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display. After switching from the display state to the non-display state, and then or immediately after that, it is collected from the specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5. Control is performed to display the number (total number) of the game balls on the base monitor 1310h.

A person who changes the setting of the set value pulls out the metal setting key from the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, closes the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2, and sets the set value. Complete the work of changing the settings of.

When confirming the currently set value, the outer frame 2 is used when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure that causes a momentary power failure). The main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311ab of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to be turned ON. Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy the "predetermined setting value display permission condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on and the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d is not operated. That is, the person who actually confirms and displays the currently set value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the state in which the pachinko machine 1 is turned off) and then outside. Work to open the main body frame 4 with respect to the frame 2, and then insert the metal setting key into the insertion port 1311ab of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and rotate it 60 degrees clockwise. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the ON operation, and then the power switch 630a is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 without operating the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d.

The person who confirms and displays the currently set value first confirms that the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned off), and then checks the outer frame 2. Then, the main body frame 4 is opened, and then the metal setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311ab of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by turning it on. Subsequently, the power switch 630a is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 without operating the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d. As a result, the setting key ON signal is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU 1310a is set among the current set values (set values 1 to 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is turned on) stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM. The value) is displayed on the base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display. At this time, even if a person who confirms and displays the currently set value presses the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d, the setting value is not changed at all in response to this pressing operation, and the setting display is displayed. The content displayed on 1310g is also unchanged.

As described above, the base monitor 1310h is composed of six 7-segment LED displays with a decimal point (so-called dots) connected in a row, and can display numerical values up to 6 digits. Is. When the base monitor 1310h functions as a setting display, the setting value is displayed on the 7-segment LED display arranged on the rightmost side of the 6-segment LED displays arranged in a row (that is, 6 digits). It may be set to (one digit displaying the ones digit) (in this case, the dot may be turned on or off. In addition, the dot may also function as a setting change permission lamp). In that case, it lights up when the currently set value is being confirmed, and turns off when the currently set value is confirmed.), 6 in a row. Of the 7-segment LED displays, one 7-segment LED display, a plurality of 7-segment LED displays, or all 7-segment LED displays display the set value (in this case, the dots may be lit. , May be turned off. If the dot is to be used as a setting change permission lamp, it is turned on when the currently set value is being confirmed and is currently set. It may be turned off when the confirmation of the set value is completed.)

When the person who performs the confirmation display of the currently set setting value completes the confirmation of the currently set setting value, the initial position is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The OFF operation is performed by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise so as to return to the position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). This setting key OFF signal is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. As a result, the main control MPU 1310a switches from the state of displaying the set value to the state of not displaying the set value on the base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display, and then or immediately after that, the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a. From the specific area of the above, the base monitor 1310h is controlled to display the number (total number) of the game balls collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5.

The person who confirms and displays the currently set value is the work of extracting the metal setting key from the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and closing the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. To complete the confirmation display of the currently set value.

As described above, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is the outer frame when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). The main body frame 4 is opened with respect to 2, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to turn on. It is necessary that the setting key is turned on and the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d is operated, whereas the predetermined set value display permission condition is the pachinko as described above. When the power of the machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs), the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key of the setting key switch 1311a is opened. The setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the cylinder 1311ab, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to be turned ON, so that the setting key is turned ON and the RWM switch 633d is pressed. It is necessary that the part is not operated. In this way, the predetermined setting value change permission condition and the predetermined setting value display permission condition are when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure in which a power failure occurs). At the time of power recovery, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is directed clockwise. There is a common requirement that the setting key is turned on by turning it 60 degrees and turning it on, and the predetermined setting value change permission condition is "when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or a power failure (power failure). The requirement is that the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d is operated when the power is restored when the power is restored after a momentary power failure (a momentary power failure occurs). The condition is that "the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d is not operated when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored when the power is restored after a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs)". It differs in that.

A solder liquid of color (green in this embodiment) is applied to form an insulating coating film 1310yr on the solder surface side in the entire region of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310.

Further, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is electrically connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) among the through holes through which the respective reit terminals of the ZIP type main control MPU 1310a are inserted. Around the through-holes excluding those, around the + 5V power supply wiring pattern, around the output signal wiring pattern, and the output signal of a specific through-hole (for example, the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y). Although a foil removal area where copper foil is removed is formed around the through hole that electrically connects the wiring pattern), the lead terminals arranged in the upper row and the lower side in the ZIP type main control MPU1310a. Between the lead terminals arranged in the side row and the terminals, along the longitudinal direction of the ZIP type main control MPU 1310a (along the left-right direction of the main control board 1310, along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310). , The upper side of the main control board 1310 (parallel to the lower side or the center line connecting the center of the left side and the center of the right side of the main control board 1310) is not formed, and the betagland (GND) (board ground) is formed. There is.

The region on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 where the output signal wiring pattern is formed, the region where various through holes are formed, and the region where the foil removal is formed are excluded from the main control board.

A resist solution of a predetermined color (green in this embodiment) is applied to form an insulating coating film 1310xr on the mounting surface side in the entire region of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310.

The copper foil layer (copper plane, copper foil surface) of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 has various wiring patterns and main controls by various wiring patterns routed to the reit terminals of the main control MPU 1310a. A small copper foil region may be formed surrounded by a large number of lead terminals of the MPU 1310a. Therefore, in order to stabilize the ground of the small copper foil region, the betagland (GND) (ground) of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. A through hole for betaland is formed to electrically connect the betaland (GND) (board ground) of the above.

There are a plurality of land sizes in the through-holes for beta lands, and the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is electrically connected. The size of the land of the through-hole for the wiring pattern to be connected to, the size of the land of the through-hole for the lead terminal to which the lead terminal of the electronic component is inserted and soldered on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y. Those having the same size as, those larger than the size of the land of the through hole for the wiring pattern and smaller than the size of the land of the through hole for the lead terminal, and those having the same size as the land of the through hole for the lead terminal. There are large ones and the like, and a plurality of through holes for beta run are studded on substantially the entire surface of the main control board 1310. As a result, the betta land (GND) (board ground) of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the betta land (GND) (board ground) of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 are separated. It is stabilized so that it becomes the same ground (GND) (board ground).

Further, for the wiring pattern in which various signals are input to the main control board 1310, a wiring pattern of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is provided. While the through hole for the wiring pattern to be electrically connected is not formed at all, for the wiring pattern that outputs various signals, in order to prevent the interference of the wiring pattern by routing the wiring pattern, the main control board 1310 A plurality of wiring pattern through holes for electrically connecting the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 may be formed.

For the wiring pattern in which various signals are input to the main control board 1310, a wiring pattern of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is used. It is preferable that no through hole for the wiring pattern to be electrically connected is formed, but wiring in which various signals are unavoidably input in order to avoid interference with other wiring patterns due to the wiring of the wiring pattern. A wiring pattern through hole may be formed for the pattern to electrically connect the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310.

However, a wiring pattern through hole (hereinafter, referred to as “input signal wiring pattern through hole”) formed for a wiring pattern into which various signals are input is, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground). If the main control board is created and electrically switched to the + 5V power supply line, the main control MPU1310a is an important electronic component that controls the progress of the game. May be done.

Therefore, it is necessary to take security measures for the through holes for the input signal wiring pattern.

[12-1. Security measures for through holes for input signal wiring patterns]

The various through-holes have electrical conductivity due to copper plating on the inner peripheral wall of the through-hole. The main control board 1310 is also provided with non-through holes in addition to the through holes. In the non-through holes, the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is not copper-plated, and the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is provided. And the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is copper-plated at the point that the solder surface (back surface) 1310y does not have a land, and the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. It is very different from a through hole that has a land on it. The non-through hole is formed to attach the substrate to the member, or is formed to fix an electronic component (such as a connector to which wiring is attached / detached) to which an external force is applied to the substrate. It should be noted that the configuration in which the land of the through hole is covered with the insulating film may be adopted for the through hole for mounting the electronic component (that is, inserting each lead terminal of the electronic component). Further, the configuration in which the land of the through hole is covered with the insulating film may be described as a through hole for a wiring pattern formed for a wiring pattern to which various signals are output (hereinafter, referred to as a “through hole for an output signal wiring pattern”). There is no problem in adopting it for the land of.).

[12-1-1. A configuration in which an insulating film is applied to the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment]

The outer diameter is the outer diameter KTHD1 and has the same size.

The mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310.

Solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 or electronic component formed on the other end of the solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. Is electrically connected to the land (pad) to which the specific terminal of is soldered.

The mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 are The mounting surface (surface) side wiring pattern SPTN formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, which is electrically connected via the through hole KTH1, and the main control board 1310. The solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the through hole KTH1, and the through hole KTH1. It is in a state of being electrically connected via the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310.

Although a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 to form an insulating coating film 1310xr on the mounting surface side, an insulating coating on the mounting surface side is formed. A mounting surface (surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is formed in the region of the film 1310xr corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1. Has been done.

Further, although a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 to form the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr, the solder surface side insulation is formed. In the region of the coating film 1310yr corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1, the solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 is formed. It is formed.

The opening diameter KBxrD1 of the resist opening KBxra on the mounting surface (front surface) side and the opening diameter KByrD1 of the resist opening KByra on the solder surface (back surface) side are the same size.

The main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out. There is a process of fixing one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) to the manufacturing equipment and painting, a process of drying, a process of making holes, other processes, etc., and each substrate is finally cut out. ..

As described above, in the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, in the region corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is formed. Since the mounting surface (front surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 is formed, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 has a mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 from the outer periphery of the outer diameter KTHD1. The outer peripheral portion of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side toward the center of the mounting surface is covered with a green resist as an insulating film. As a result, the entire outer peripheral portion of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be covered with a green resist as an insulating film, so that the copper foil is exposed. The area of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side can be kept small. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to perform unauthorized modification such as electrically switching the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern to, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground) or a + 5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken for pattern through holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security for the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

Further, since the copper foil is exposed on both the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1, the mounting surface (front surface) side of the main control board 1310 is to the mounting surface (front surface) side. The tip of the contact probe can be brought into contact with the land KRDx1 to perform electrical inspection (operation confirmation and abnormal potential confirmation) of the main control board 1310, and soldering from the solder surface (back surface) side of the main control board 1310. The tip of the contact probe can be brought into contact with the surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 to perform an electrical inspection (operation confirmation and abnormal potential confirmation) of the main control board 1310. That is, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 can be used as check terminals when performing an electrical inspection of the main control board 1310. The contact probe may be a dedicated probe or a test lead that checks the continuity of a so-called "tester".

In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is the solder surface (back surface) of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1 is formed in the region corresponding to the back surface) side land KRDy1. The outer peripheral portion of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 is covered with a green resist as an insulating film from the outer periphery of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (back surface) side land KRDy1 toward the center of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1. However, as shown in FIG. 190 (c), in the region corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 in the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr, the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having a larger opening diameter KByrD2 (> opening diameter KByrD1) may be formed. This is because the main control board 1310 is arranged on the back surface side of the game board 5 in the state where the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 in the pachinko machine 1, so that the main control board 1310 is illegal in such a state. This is because when the modification is performed, only the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be visually observed. Further, the operator who inspects the main control board 1310 determines which of the various through holes formed in the main control board 1310 is the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern. By comparing the sizes of the land of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the land of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, it is possible to contribute to determining whether or not the hole is a through hole for an input signal wiring pattern.

[12-1-2. A configuration in which an insulating film is applied to the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the second embodiment]
In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the second embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the thickness of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310 is as shown in FIGS. 191 (a) and 191 (b). A small through hole is formed in the direction (the front surface vertical (back surface vertical) direction of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310), and the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the main control The copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the substrate 1310, and the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 having an outer diameter KTHD1 are formed by removing the copper foil. At the same time, a mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN and a solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern are formed. Through-hole KTH1 is formed by plating the entire inner peripheral surface of the through hole with conductivity. The outer diameter of the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. The outer diameter is the outer diameter KTHD1 and has the same size. The outer diameter of the land KRDx1 and the outer diameter of the land KRDy1 on the solder surface (back surface) side are the same.

The mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. One end is electrically connected, and the other end of the wiring pattern SPTN on the mounting surface (front surface) side and another mounting surface (surface) side formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. A land KRDx1 or a land (pad) to which a specific terminal of an electronic component is soldered is electrically connected.

One end of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. Solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 or electronic component formed on the other end of the solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. Is electrically connected to the land (pad) to which the specific terminal of is soldered.

Although a green resist solution is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 to form an insulating coating film 1310xr on the mounting surface side, an insulating coating on the mounting surface side is formed. The region of the film 1310xr corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 and is through for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment described above. A mounting surface (surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 that is smaller than the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 and larger than the inner diameter of the hole of the through hole KTH1 in the configuration in which the land of the hole is covered with the insulating film is formed. Has been done. The inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 includes a resist liquid intrusion prevention region concentrically extending outward from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1, and the mounting surface in the hole of the through hole KTH1. (Surface) The resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension from the inner peripheral edge (resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension is at least 0. A distance dimension of 5 mm or more is required, and 0.5 mm is adopted in the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the second embodiment is covered with an insulating film). It has become. Therefore, the inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 is the sum of the inner diameter of the hole of the through hole KTH1 and the double of the resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension (0.5 mm), which is larger than the inner diameter of the hole of the through hole KTH1. It is 1.0 mm larger.

On the other hand, although a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 to form the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr, the solder is formed. Solder surface (back surface) side resist opening having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 in the region of the surface side insulating coating film 1310yr corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1. Part KByra is formed. The outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 is the same as the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 in the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment is covered with the insulating film.

The main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out. There is a process of fixing one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) to the manufacturing equipment and painting, a process of drying, a process of making holes, other processes, etc., and each substrate is finally cut out. ..

As described above, in the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, in the region corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is formed. The outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of KByrD1 in the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment is covered with the insulating coating, and the outer diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the through hole KTH1. Since the mounting surface (front surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 larger than the inner diameter of the hole is formed, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 has an outer diameter KTHD1 outer diameter to the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1. Only the resist liquid intrusion prevention region (that is, the resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension (0.5 mm) from the inner peripheral edge of the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1) in the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side toward the center of Except for the region extending to a distant position), the outer peripheral portion is covered with a green resist as an insulating film. As a result, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 extends from almost inside to the entire outer peripheral portion (that is, the mounting surface on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310). Since the green resist can be covered as an insulating film (over the region of the (surface) side land KRDx1 excluding the resist liquid intrusion prevention region), the portion where the copper foil is exposed is the resist liquid. The area of the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 in which the copper foil is exposed by serving as an intrusion prevention region is covered with an insulating film on the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment. It can be kept extremely small compared to that in the configuration. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to perform unauthorized modification such as electrically switching the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern to, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground) or a + 5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken for pattern through holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security for the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

Further, since the resist liquid intrusion prevention region is provided in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, a green color as an insulating film is provided on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. When the resist liquid is applied, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward (the main control board 1310 is actually a single standard copper-clad laminate (base material). ) Is placed and finally cut out to be manufactured, so it is actually fixed to the manufacturing equipment so that the front surface of one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) faces vertically upward. Even if the green resist liquid is applied to the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, the green resist liquid penetrates into the hole of the through hole KTH1 and is dried without closing the hole.

Further, since the copper foil is exposed on both the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1, the mounting surface (front surface) side of the main control board 1310 is to the mounting surface (front surface) side. The tip of the contact probe can be brought into contact with the land KRDx1 to perform electrical inspection (operation confirmation and abnormal potential confirmation) of the main control board 1310, and soldering from the solder surface (back surface) side of the main control board 1310. The tip of the contact probe can be brought into contact with the surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 to perform an electrical inspection (operation confirmation and abnormal potential confirmation) of the main control board 1310. That is, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 can be used as check terminals when performing an electrical inspection of the main control board 1310. The contact probe may be a dedicated probe or a test lead that checks the continuity of a so-called "tester".

In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the second embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is the solder surface of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1 is formed in the region corresponding to the back surface) side land KRDy1. The outer peripheral portion of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 is covered with a green resist as an insulating film from the outer periphery of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (back surface) side land KRDy1 toward the center of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1. However, as shown in FIG. 191 (c), the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 is located in the region corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 in the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having a larger opening diameter KByrD2 (> opening diameter KByrD1) may be formed. This is because the main control board 1310 is arranged on the back surface side of the game board 5 in the state where the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 in the pachinko machine 1, so that the main control board 1310 is illegal in such a state. This is because when the modification is performed, only the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be visually observed. Further, the operator who inspects the main control board 1310 determines which of the various through holes formed in the main control board 1310 is the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern. By comparing the sizes of the land of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the land of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, it is possible to contribute to determining whether or not the hole is a through hole for an input signal wiring pattern.

[12-1--3. A configuration in which an insulating film is applied to the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the third embodiment]
In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the third embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the thickness of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310 is as shown in FIGS. 192 (a) and 192 (b). A small through hole is formed in the direction (the front surface vertical (back surface vertical) direction of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310), and the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the main control The copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the substrate 1310, and the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 having an outer diameter KTHD1 are formed by removing the copper foil. At the same time, a mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN and a solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern are formed. Through-hole KTH1 is formed by plating the entire inner peripheral surface of the through hole with conductivity. The outer diameter of the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. The outer diameter is the outer diameter KTHD1 and has the same size. The outer diameter of the land KRDx1 and the outer diameter of the land KRDy1 on the solder surface (back surface) side are the same.

The mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. One end is electrically connected, and the other end of the wiring pattern SPTN on the mounting surface (front surface) side and another mounting surface (surface) side formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. A land KRDx1 or a land (pad) to which a specific terminal of an electronic component is soldered is electrically connected.

Since a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 to form the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr, the mounting surface side insulating coating is formed. A green resist liquid is also applied as an insulating film to the region of the film 1310xr corresponding to the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side to form the insulating coating film 1310xr on the mounting surface side.

The main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out. There is a process of fixing one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) to the manufacturing equipment and painting, a process of drying, a process of making holes, other processes, etc., and each substrate is finally cut out. .. Therefore, when the green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward. (Since the main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out, one piece of resist is used. It is fixed to the manufacturing equipment (so that the front surface of the copper-clad laminate (base material) of the scale faces vertically upward), and a green resist liquid is applied from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310. Will invade and block this hole. The green resist liquid that has entered the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is dented from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side of the hole of the through hole KTH1 toward the center of the hole due to its own weight and dried. Will be done.

On the other hand, although a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 to form the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr, the solder is formed. Solder surface (back surface) side resist opening having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 in the region of the surface side insulating coating film 1310yr corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1. Part KByra is formed. The outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 is the same as the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 in the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment is covered with the insulating film.

As described above, on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the region corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 of the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr is also covered with the green resist as an insulating film. At the same time, the green resist liquid invades from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and the hole is closed. As a result, the entire mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the holes of the through holes KTH1 can be covered with a green resist as an insulating film. The copper foil does not expose the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side, and the conductive plated portion applied to the entire inner peripheral surface of the hole of the through hole KTH1 is the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310. It can be prevented from being exposed from 1310x. Further, the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 can be closed. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to perform unauthorized modification such as electrically switching the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern to, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground) or a + 5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken for pattern through holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security for the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

Further, although the green resist liquid invades from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 and the hole is closed, the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed. The solder surface (back surface) side of the hole is open. That is, the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed on the mounting surface (front surface) side by the green resist liquid, while the solder surface (back surface) side is open. This is a state in which the green resist liquid invades from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and air remains inside the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310. If the solder surface (back surface) side of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed, liquid such as a resist removing liquid may remain inside the through hole KTH1, and the influence of this liquid may cause the through hole KTH1 to remain. Contact failure occurs due to corrosion of the internally conductive plating, and the liquid inside the through-hole KTH1 momentarily vaporizes and expands (so-called "steam explosion") in soldering (reflow, etc.) processes where heat is applied. This is because the conductive plating inside the through-hole KTH1 may be damaged and the through-hole KTH1 may be electrically cut off.

Further, although there are holes in the land KRDx1 and the through-hole KTH1 on the mounting surface (front surface) side, their existence can be hidden by the green resist, so that the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be hidden. The land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (front surface) side can be made inconspicuous with respect to the green resist coated on the solid surface, and the holes of the through holes KTH1 can be made inconspicuous. As a result, for fraudulent persons who attempt to electrically switch the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern to, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground) or a + 5V power supply line created on the main control board side. It is possible to make it difficult to find through holes for input signal wiring patterns (holes of land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side and through holes KTH1).

Further, since the copper foil is exposed on both the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1, the tip of the contact probe is from the solder surface (back surface) side of the main control board 1310 to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1. It is possible to perform an electrical inspection (operation confirmation and abnormal potential confirmation) of the main control board 1310 by contacting the portions. That is, the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 can be used as a check terminal when performing an electrical inspection of the main control board 1310. The contact probe may be a dedicated probe or a test lead that checks the continuity of a so-called "tester".

In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the third embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is the solder surface (back surface) of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1 is formed in the region corresponding to the back surface) side land KRDy1. The outer peripheral portion of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 is covered with a green resist as an insulating film from the outer periphery of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (back surface) side land KRDy1 toward the center of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1. However, as shown in FIG. 192 (c), in the region corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 in the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr, the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having a larger opening diameter KByrD2 (> opening diameter KByrD1) may be formed. This is because the main control board 1310 is arranged on the back surface side of the game board 5 in the state where the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 in the pachinko machine 1, so that the main control board 1310 is illegal in such a state.

By comparing the sizes of the land of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the land of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, it is possible to contribute to determining whether or not the hole is a through hole for an input signal wiring pattern.

[12-1--4. A configuration in which an insulating film is applied to the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the fourth embodiment]
In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the fourth embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the thickness of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310 is as shown in FIGS. 193 (a) and 193 (b). A small through hole is formed in the direction (the front surface vertical (back surface vertical) direction of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310), and the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the main control The copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the substrate 1310, and the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 having an outer diameter KTHD1 are formed by removing the copper foil. At the same time, a mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN and a solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern are formed. Through-hole KTH1 is formed by plating the entire inner peripheral surface of the through hole with conductivity. The outer diameter of the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. The outer diameter is the outer diameter KTHD1 and has the same size. The outer diameter of the land KRDx1 and the outer diameter of the land KRDy1 on the solder surface (back surface) side are the same.

The mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the mounting surface (front surface) side wiring pattern SPTN formed on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. One end is electrically connected, and the other end of the wiring pattern SPTN on the mounting surface (front surface) side and another mounting surface (surface) side formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. A land KRDx1 or a land (pad) to which a specific terminal of an electronic component is soldered is electrically connected.

Although a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 to form an insulating coating film 1310xr on the mounting surface side, an insulating coating on the mounting surface side is formed. A mounting surface (surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is formed in the region of the film 1310xr corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1. Has been done. The outer diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD1 is the same as the outer diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD1 in the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment is covered with the insulating film.

On the other hand, on the copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film to form the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr. Of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr, the region corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 is also coated with a green resist liquid as an insulating film to form the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr.

The main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out. There is a process of fixing one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) to the manufacturing equipment and painting, a process of drying, a process of making holes, other processes, etc., and each substrate is finally cut out. .. Therefore, when the green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film on the copper foil surface of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward. (Since the main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out, one piece of soldering board is used. A green resist liquid is fixed to the manufacturing equipment (so that the rear surface of the copper-clad laminate (base material) of the scale faces vertically upward) from the inner peripheral edge on the solder surface (back surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310. Will invade and block this hole. The green resist liquid that has entered the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is dried by its own weight in a state of being recessed from the inner peripheral edge on the solder surface (back surface) side of the hole of the through hole KTH1 toward the center of the hole. Will be done.

As described above, in the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, in the region corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is formed. Since the mounting surface (front surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 is formed, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 has a mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 from the outer periphery of the outer diameter KTHD1. The outer peripheral portion of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side toward the center of the mounting surface is covered with a green resist as an insulating film. Further, on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the region corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr is also covered with a green resist as an insulating film. At the same time, the green resist liquid invades from the inner peripheral edge on the solder surface (back surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and the hole is closed. As a result, the entire outer peripheral portion of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be covered with a green resist as an insulating film, so that the copper foil is exposed. The area of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side can be kept small, and the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 can be closed. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to perform unauthorized modification such as electrically switching the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern to, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground) or a + 5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken for pattern through holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security for the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

Further, since the copper foil is exposed on the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side, the tip of the contact probe is from the mounting surface (surface) side of the main control board 1310 to the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side. Can be contacted to perform an electrical inspection (operation confirmation and abnormal potential confirmation) of the main control board 1310. That is, the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side can be used as a check terminal when performing an electrical inspection of the main control board 1310. The contact probe may be a dedicated probe or a test lead that checks the continuity of a so-called "tester".

Further, although the green resist liquid invades from the inner peripheral edge on the solder surface (back surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 and the hole is closed, the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed. The mounting surface (surface) side of the hole is open. That is, the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed on the solder surface (back surface) side by the green resist liquid, while the mounting surface (front surface) side is open. This is a state in which the green resist liquid invades from the inner peripheral edge on the solder surface (back surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and air remains inside the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310. If the mounting surface (surface) side of the through-hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed, a liquid such as a desoldering liquid may remain inside the through-hole KTH1, and the influence of this liquid may cause the through-hole KTH1 to remain. Contact failure occurs due to corrosion of the internally conductive plating, and the liquid inside the through-hole KTH1 momentarily vaporizes and expands (so-called "steam explosion") in soldering (reflow, etc.) processes where heat is applied. This is because the conductive plating inside the through-hole KTH1 may be damaged and the through-hole KTH1 may be electrically cut off.

Further, although there are holes in the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 and the through hole KTH1, the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 hides its existence by the green resist on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. Since the holes of the through holes KTH1 can be hidden by the green resist on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310 can be hidden. The land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (front surface) side can be made inconspicuous with respect to the white resist coated on 1310x, and the holes of the through holes KTH1 can be made inconspicuous. As a result, for fraudulent persons who attempt to electrically switch the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern to, for example, a beta land (GND) (board ground) or a + 5V power supply line created on the main control board side. It is possible to make it difficult to find through holes for input signal wiring patterns (holes of land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side and through holes KTH1).

In the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the fourth embodiment is covered with an insulating film, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is the mounting surface (the mounting surface) of the insulating coating film 1310xr on the mounting surface side. In the region corresponding to the surface) side land KRDx1, the mounting surface (front surface) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (front surface) side land KRDx1 is formed. The outer peripheral portion of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 is covered with a white resist as an insulating film from the outer periphery of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (surface) side land KRDx1 toward the center of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1. However, as shown in FIG. 193 (b), in the region corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr, the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 A mounting surface (surface) side resist opening KBxra may be formed which is smaller and has an opening diameter KBxrD2 which is smaller than the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 and larger than the inner diameter of the hole of the through hole KTH1. .. The inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 includes a resist liquid intrusion prevention region concentrically extending outward from the inner peripheral edge on the mounting surface (surface) side in the hole of the through hole KTH1, and the mounting surface in the hole of the through hole KTH1. The resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension from the inner peripheral edge on the (surface) side (the resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension is at least 0. A distance dimension of 5 mm or more is required, and 0.5 mm is adopted in the configuration in which the land of the through hole for the input signal wiring pattern according to the fourth embodiment is covered with an insulating film). It has become. Therefore, the inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 is the sum of the inner diameter of the hole of the through hole KTH1 and the double of the resist liquid intrusion prevention distance dimension (0.5 mm), which is larger than the inner diameter of the hole of the through hole KTH1. It is 1.0 mm larger.

As a result, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 extends from almost inside to the entire outer peripheral portion (that is, the mounting surface on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310). Since the green resist can be covered as an insulating film (over the region of the (surface) side land KRDx1 excluding the resist liquid intrusion prevention region), the portion where the copper foil is exposed is the resist liquid. By providing the intrusion prevention region, the area of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side where the copper foil is exposed can be suppressed to an extremely small size.

Further, since the resist liquid intrusion prevention region is provided in the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, a green color as an insulating film is provided on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. When the resist liquid is applied, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward (the main control board 1310 is actually a single standard copper-clad laminate (base material). ) Is placed and finally cut out to be manufactured, so it is actually fixed to the manufacturing equipment so that the front surface of one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) faces vertically upward. Even if the green resist liquid is applied to the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, the green resist liquid penetrates into the hole of the through hole KTH1 and is dried without closing the hole.

Further, from substantially the inside of the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 to the entire outer peripheral portion (that is, the mounting surface on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 (that is). The portion where the copper foil is exposed is the resist liquid intrusion prevention region by covering the surface) side land KRDx1 with the green resist as the insulating film (over the region excluding the resist liquid intrusion prevention region). Although it has become smaller, the tip of the contact probe is brought into contact with the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side from the mounting surface (surface) side of the main control board 1310 to perform an electrical inspection (operation check) of the main control board 1310. And abnormal potential can be confirmed), so that the land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) side can be used as a check terminal when performing an electrical inspection of the main control board 1310. The contact probe may be a dedicated probe or a test lead that checks the continuity of a so-called "tester".

Therefore, in the present embodiment, various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring patterns) for transmitting the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, which can change the setting of the probability of giving the player a benefit, and the RWM switch 633d Various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring patterns) that transmit the detection signals of the above are routed to the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 so that they do not run in parallel (do not run in parallel) without being placed close to each other. ing. As a result, various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern) for transmitting the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a and various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern) for transmitting the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d are mutually exchanged. It will be input to the predetermined input terminals (PA5 (setting key signal input terminal), PA0 (RWM signal input terminal)) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a at a distance, and the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a will be transmitted. Various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring patterns) and various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring patterns) for transmitting the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d can be prevented from being tampered with at the same time. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of security of setting change.

Further, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is a predetermined input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a as a setting key signal via various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern). The detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is input to a predetermined input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU1310a as an RWM signal via various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern). Has been done. The input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA is arranged at the eighth position from the left in the figure among the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU1310a, whereas the input of the input port PA The terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) is arranged 20th from the left in the figure (13th from the right in the figure) among the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a. In this way, the predetermined input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a in which the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input as the setting key signal, and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d The detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is used as the setting key signal so that the predetermined input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a input as the RWM signal is not arranged adjacent to each other. A predetermined input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a to be input and a predetermined input of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a in which the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is input as an RWM signal. 9th to 19th lead terminals from the left in the figure among the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU1310a between the terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and other lead terminals (specifically, the lead terminal arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU1310a). (Lead terminals arranged in a total of 11 lower rows) are arranged so as to intervene.

As described above, in the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, among the through holes through which the respective reit terminals of the ZIP type main control MPU 1310a are inserted, the beta land (GND) (board ground) and the electrical Peripheral through-holes except those connected to, perimeter of + 5V power supply wiring pattern, perimeter of signal output wiring pattern, perimeter of input signal wiring pattern, and specific through-holes (eg, mounting surface (surface) 1310x). A foil removal region from which the copper foil has been removed is formed around a through hole that electrically connects the output signal wiring pattern between the solder surface (back surface) and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y. Further, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned on, as described above, the logic of the setting key signal becomes LOW (logic for transmitting the settable state) and the input terminal PA5 (setting) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. When the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d provided in the payout control board 633 is being operated, the logic of the RWM signal is LOW (logic that conveys the pressing operation state) as described above. Therefore, it is input to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, by removing the foil around the input terminals PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), the input terminals PA5 (setting key signal input terminal), PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and ground are removed. It is possible to make it difficult to perform unauthorized modification by electrically switching between (GND) and (board ground), and it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security.

It should be noted that the setting of the main control MPU 1310a electrically connected to various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern) for transmitting the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU1310a electrically connected to the key signal input terminal and various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern) for transmitting the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633. In addition to between the RWM signal input terminal and the terminal, the peripheral terminal of the setting key signal input terminal (another adjacent terminal) and the peripheral terminal of the RWM signal input terminal (adjacent terminal) are pressed by the RWM switch 633d. The logic of the RWM signal that the unit is not operated is HI (the logic that conveys the pressing non-operation state), and the logic of the setting key signal that makes the setting key switch 1311a OFF is HI (the non-setting state). It may be electrically connected to a wiring pattern in which another signal is input or a wiring pattern in which another signal is output so as to be a transmission logic). By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult to illegally modify the RWM signal input terminal and the setting key signal input terminal, and it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security.

Further, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is a predetermined input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a as a setting key signal via various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern). The detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is input to a predetermined input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU1310a as an RWM signal via various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern). By doing so, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d are input to the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a. The detection signal may be input from the lead terminal arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a to the lead terminal arranged in the upper row. The detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input when it is input to a predetermined input terminal PB7 of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a as a setting key signal via various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern). The input terminal PB7 of the port PB is arranged 22nd from the left in the figure (11th from the right in the figure) among the lead terminals arranged in the upper row of the main control MPU 1310a. In this way, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input from the lead terminal arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a to the lead terminal arranged in the upper row, and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is mainly used. Even if a configuration is adopted in which two detection signals are input to the lead terminals of the upper and lower rows by being input to the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the control MPU 1310a, it contributes to the improvement of security of setting change. Can be done.

The logical state of the input ports PA and PB of the main control MPU 1310a is treated as memory information on the address space by the memory-mapped I / O method. For example, the main control MPU 1310a simultaneously has the same address for the input port PA. The logical state of each input terminal can be acquired. Similarly, for the input port PB, the main control MPU 1310a can simultaneously acquire the logical state of each input terminal at the same address (an address different from the input port PA). The input ports PA and PB of the main control MPU 1310a are input ports having 8 bits, and the input terminals PA0 (RWM signal input terminals) to PA7 and PB0 to PB7 of the input ports PA and PB are the 0th to 7th bits. It is pre-allocated to any of the bits.

[Summary A]
A1. As described above, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input to the input terminal PA5 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit 1310b, but the lead terminal (COM1) of the setting key switch 1311a. Terminals, COM2 terminals, A terminals, B terminals), lead terminals (resistors MR10 to MR13, capacitors MC10, transistors MTR10) of electronic components constituting the main control input circuit 1310b, and lead terminals of the main control MPU 1310a (input port PA). The wiring patterns for electrically connecting the input terminals PA5) are formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, which is the surface opposite to the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310.

A2. The wiring pattern of the main control board 1310 is set in the signal transmission path between the lead terminal (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a and the lead terminal (input terminal PA5 of the input port PA) of the main control MPU 1310a. Since it is formed by routing it around the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, as described above, a through hole that electrically interconnects the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is provided. , A through hole for this wiring pattern is not formed on the main control board 1310.

A3. The wiring pattern of the main control board 1310 is set in the signal transmission path between the lead terminal (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a and the lead terminal (input terminal PA5 of the input port PA) of the main control MPU 1310a. It is difficult to route only on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, and the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 must also be used. When forming a through hole that electrically interconnects the wiring patterns of the above, as shown in FIGS. 190 to 193, the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and / or the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 The outer periphery and the entire land of the through hole are covered with a green resist which is an insulating film.

A4. As described above, the main control board 1310 is housed and sealed in the main control board box 1320 which can be opened and closed by the sliding method in the longitudinal direction composed of the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302. The main control board box 1320 is attached to the back surface side of the cover body 1301 so that the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces the inside of the cover body 1301. In this state, when the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the predetermined position of the cover body 1301, the outer peripheral surface of the base body 1302 fits in the inner peripheral surface of the cover body 1301, and the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 together. The main control board 1310 is housed in the formed space. After that, by screwing a one-way screw or the like of the caulking portion 1303 which is a sealing portion, the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are fixed and the main control board box is sealed.

A5. As described above, the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is rotated by inserting the setting key into the insertion port 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab. To. If the setting key switch 1311a is pressed and the main control board 1310 bends and bends when the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a, the wiring pattern formed on the main control board 1310 may be disconnected. There is. Therefore, in order to prevent the main control board 1310 from bending, the setting key switch 1311a which is the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 and is mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. In the corresponding region, the protruding portion 1302p shown in FIG. 185 is formed to protrude from the base body 1302.

In the state where the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320, the setting key switch 1311a is not pressed (the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a and the rotation operation is performed. When the pressing by the setting key is released, the setting key is not inserted in the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a in the first place), as described above, the front surface and the main of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302. A distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the control board 1310, and when the setting key switch 1311a is pressed, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p is the main control board. It is in contact with the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the 1310 to prevent the main control board 1310 from bending.

A6. As described above, a distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance between the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. When the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320, the setting key switch 1311a is not pressed (the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a and is rotated to set. When the pressing by the key is released, the front surface of the protrusion 1302p and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 come into contact with each other at the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a). There is nothing to do. Further, when assembling the main control board box 1320, when the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are slid and moved, or when the main control board 1310 is taken out, the sealed state of the main control board box is released and the cover body 1301 is released. When the base body 1302 and the base body 1302 are slid and moved, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p comes into contact with the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 so as not to damage the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. ing.

Since the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 may come into contact with the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p may come into contact with the solder of the main control board 1310. As shown in FIG. 186 (b), the copper foil portion (copper foil layer, copper plane) is removed from the surface (back surface) 1310y region and the region corresponding to the periphery thereof, and the copper foil portion copper foil layer, The entire area from which the copper plane was removed is covered with a green resist that is an insulating film, and when the setting key switch 1311a is repeatedly pressed, the front surface of the protrusion 1302p causes the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. Even if the green resist, which is the insulating film formed on the surface, is rubbed and peeled off, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p and the copper foil portion (copper foil layer, copper plane) do not come into contact with each other. As a result, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p does not come into contact with the wiring pattern or the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, and the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p damages or breaks the wiring pattern. It is possible to prevent the main control board 1310 from being damaged and to prevent the betaland (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 from being damaged.

A7. As described above, the main control board 1310 is housed and sealed in the main control board boxes 1320 which can be opened and closed by a sliding method in the longitudinal direction composed of the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302. The main control board box 1320 is attached to the back surface side of the cover body 1301 so that the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces the inside of the cover body 1301. In this state, when the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the predetermined position of the cover body 1301, the outer peripheral surface of the base body 1302 fits in the inner peripheral surface of the cover body 1301, and the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 together. The main control board 1310 is housed in the formed space. When the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the predetermined position of the cover body 1301, the front surface of the protrusion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 is also moved in the longitudinal direction. The wiring pattern is formed so as not to be routed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves. This is because the base body 1302 is covered with the cover body 1301 although the distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance between the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. When the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 rubs against the green resist which is an insulating film formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board when moving in the longitudinal direction according to a predetermined position. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the wiring pattern from being damaged or broken.

In addition to the wiring pattern, the betagland (GND) (board ground) is placed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 moves. May not be formed. This is because the base body 1302 is covered with the cover body 1301 although the distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance between the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. When moving in the longitudinal direction according to a predetermined position, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p may rub against the green resist which is an insulating film formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. This is because it is necessary to prevent damage to (GND) (board ground).

A8. The protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 has a cylindrical shape. By doing so, the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves can be the region where the front surface (circular shape) of the cylinder which is the protrusion 1302p moves. As the portion 1302p slides in parallel along the lower side of the main control board 1310 (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310), the distance dimension in the left-right direction becomes the length of the protrusion 1302p to slide up and down. Since the distance dimension in the direction is the diameter of the cylinder, the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves can be reduced. This can contribute to increasing the degree of freedom in routing the wiring pattern when routing the wiring pattern while avoiding the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves.

Further, the protrusion 1302p slides in parallel along the lower side of the main control board 1310 (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310), so that the distance dimension in the vertical direction in the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves. Becomes the diameter of the cylinder and becomes constant, and when the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction according to a predetermined position of the cover body 1301, the side surface of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 and the solder of the main control board 1310. Interference with the lead terminals of electronic components soldered to the front surface (back surface) 1310y (lead terminals of the setting key switch 1311a (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal)) can be prevented (suppressed). ..

A9. The protrusion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 has a shape having a constant width along the longitudinal direction of the base body 1302 (a shape having the same dimension as the outer diameter of the protrusion 1302p having a cylindrical shape as a constant width dimension). It may be formed in. In this way, the region where the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p moves is the region where the projecting portion 1302p slides in parallel along the lower side of the main control board 1310 (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310) in the left-right direction. The distance dimension of the above is the length of sliding movement of the protrusion 1302p, and the distance dimension in the vertical direction can be a constant width of the protrusion 1302p. As a result, when the wiring pattern is routed to the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 in the vicinity of the position corresponding to the region where the protrusion 1302p moves, the wiring pattern is mainly formed along the shape of the protrusion 1302p in the longitudinal direction. By routing the control board 1310 on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, the wiring pattern and the shape of the protrusion 1302p in the longitudinal direction can be in a parallel positional relationship, so that the front surface of the protrusion 1302p is the main control board 1310. It is possible to prevent the wiring pattern from being damaged or broken by rubbing the green resist which is the insulating film formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y.

Further, the protrusion 1302p slides in parallel along the lower side of the main control board 1310 (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310), so that the distance dimension in the vertical direction in the region where the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves. Is a constant width of the protruding portion 1302p and becomes constant, and when the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction according to a predetermined position of the cover body 1301, the side surface of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 and the main control board. Prevents (suppresses) interference with the lead terminals of electronic components soldered to the soldered surface (back surface) 1310y of 1310 (lead terminals of setting key switch 1311a (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal)). be able to.

A10. The protrusion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 has a long shape along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and is not formed. If the protruding portion 1302p is formed to have a long shape along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the protruding portion 1302 is formed when the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction in accordance with a predetermined position of the cover body 1301. The side surface of 1302p interferes with the lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the electronic component soldered to the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. Therefore, the protruding portion 1302p is not formed to have a long shape along the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. By doing so, when the base body 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction in accordance with the predetermined position of the cover body 1301, the side surface of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. It is possible to prevent (suppress) interference with the lead terminals of electronic components soldered to (lead terminals of the setting key switch 1311a (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal)).

A11. As shown in FIG. 184, the setting key switch 1311a is connected to the setting key cylinder 1311ab to which the setting key is inserted and is rotated, and the outer cylinder 1311aa, and is connected to the contact by the rotation operation of the setting key cylinder 1311ab. A rectangular parallelepiped base body 1311ac in which a circuit to be turned ON or OFF is formed, and a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa is formed at a position corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa and bent so as to cover the surface and side surfaces of the base body 1311ac. It is composed of a frame plate 1311ad in which a pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada projecting rearward of the base body 1311ac are formed on both side surfaces. The setting key cylinder 1311ab is molded from a non-conductive resin, and the frame plate 1311ad is molded from a conductive metal. The setting key cylinder 1311ab and the frame plate 1311ad are not electrically connected and are non-conducting, and are electrically insulated.

A12. The lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a are inserted through the through hole from the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310. It protrudes from 1310y and is soldered, and is electrically connected by an internal circuit of the setting key switch 1311a to a wiring pattern forming a signal transmission path to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. A pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada are formed on the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a, and the pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada are mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. By being inserted through the long through holes SLH1 and SLH2 from 1310 and being soldered so as to project from the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, it is electrically connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. The frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a and the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 are electrically connected to each other.

The pair of projecting pieces 1311ada and 1311ada of the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a are inserted from the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 into the long through holes SLH1 and SLH2 to form the solder surface of the main control board 1310. (Back side) Although it protrudes from 1310y and is soldered, it is not electrically connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, and the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is electrically floating. It may be.

A13. The locking unit 650 that locks between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and between the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 is made of a conductive metal. Unlike the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, the locking unit 650 is grounded to the island equipment of the game hall via a ground wire (not shown).

A14. Since the operator who operates the setting key switch 1311a must first release the main body frame 4 from the outer frame 2, a key is inserted into the keyhole 132 formed on the front end surface of the cylinder main body 131 in the locking unit 650 (this key is). , It is a metal key having conductivity. Hereinafter, it may be referred to as a "metal key".) It is necessary to insert and rotate the key. Even if the operator is charged with an electric potential, the electric potential charged by the operator can be applied to the locking unit by inserting the metal key into the keyhole 132 formed on the front end surface of the cylinder body 131 in the locking unit 650. Since the 650 and the island equipment of the game hall can be grounded and escaped via a ground wire (not shown), the electric potential charged on the operator can be removed.

Even if the operator inserts the setting key into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the electric potential charged on the operator is already in the island facility of the game hall. Since it has been grounded and removed, it is possible to prevent damage to the setting key switch 1311a due to electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge of the potential charged to the operator, and if the operator is charged, press the setting key. Even if it is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a, the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and the frame plate 1311ad are electrically insulated as described above, so that the electric potential charged to the operator is high. Prevents damage to the main control board 1310 by preventing it from invading the conductive metal frame plate 1311ad connected to the betagland (ground) (ground) of the main control board 1310 via the setting key cylinder 1311ab. be able to. (As a matter of course, the signal terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) which are the lead terminals of the setting key switch 1311a are insulated from the frame plate 1311ad and the setting key cylinder 1311ab.)

Further, since the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is electrically connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a remains charged. It never becomes.

When the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is not connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is the main control board together with the frame plate 1311ad. It means that it is not electrically connected to the 1310 Betagland (GND) (board ground). Even if the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab while the operator is charged, the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is the main control board 1310 together with the frame plate 1311ad. Since it is not electrically connected (insulated) to the Betagland (GND) (board ground), the electric potential charged to the operator is applied to the main control board 1310 via the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a. The main control board 1310 can be prevented from being damaged because there is no intrusion into the beta land (GND) (board ground). However, since the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a does not have an electrical connection with the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, when the setting key switch 1311a is charged, it cannot be discharged.

The long through holes SLH1'and SLH2' to which the pair of protruding pieces 1311ada and 1311ada of the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a are soldered are electrically connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. It is not electrically floating. Through-hole SLTH4 through which the COM2 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted, through-hole SLTH3 through which the COM1 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted, and through-hole SLTH1 through which the A terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted are wiring patterns SPTN1 and SPTN2. The through-hole SLTH2 is electrically connected, the through-hole SLTH1 is electrically connected to the wiring pattern SPTN3, and the B terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted. It is electrically connected to the ground).

As described above, since the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SPTN3 and the through holes SLTH1 to SLTH4 exist around the long through holes SLH1'and SLH2', the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SPTN3 are between the long through holes SLH1'and SLH2'. The beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 is formed, and the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 is formed between the long through holes SLH1', SLH2' and the through holes SLTH1 to SLTH4. ) Is formed so that the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is not electrically connected to the beta land (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a is charged. Even if it becomes impossible, the long through holes SLH1'and SLH2' and the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SPTN3 are adjacent to each other without the intervention of the betaland (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 so as not to be affected by this. You need to avoid it. Further, it is necessary that the long through holes SLH1'and SLH2'and the through holes SLTH1 to SLTH4 are not adjacent to each other without the beta gland (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 intervening.

It is treated as memory information on the address space according to the method, and the main control MPU 1310a can be simultaneously acquired at the same address. That is, as described above, the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a and the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a have 8 bits. Each of the predetermined ports is pre-allocated to any of the 0th bit to the 7th bit.

As described above, the IC package of the main control MPU 1310a is ZIP (Zigzag In-line Package), and the lead terminals protruding vertically from the bottom surface of the main control MPU 1310a are alternately bent so as to be 2 along the longitudinal direction. It was formed by arranging them in a row. The input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA and the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA are not formed so as to be adjacent to one of the two rows.

For example, when the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA and the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA are arranged in one of the two columns, the input port PA Input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of input port PA so that the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA are not arranged next to each other. It is arranged so that another lead terminal is interposed between the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA.

B2. The setting key signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. ), And the RWM signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 is the input terminal PA5 (input terminal PA5 of the input port PA of the main control MPU1310a). Since it is another lead terminal different from the setting key signal input terminal and is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA, the input port PA is in one of the two rows. The input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA were arranged, but the setting key mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. The setting key signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the switch 1311a and the RWM signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 are arranged in two rows. They may be electrically connected so that they are arranged in separate rows.

B3. The setting key signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. ), And the RWM signal wiring pattern that transmits the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 is the input terminal PA5 (input terminal PA5 of the input port PA of the main control MPU1310a). It was another lead terminal different from the setting key signal input terminal) and was electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA, but on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. The setting key signal input terminal to which the setting key signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the mounted setting key switch 1311a is electrically connected, and the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633. The logical state of the RWM signal input terminal to which the RWM signal wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the above is electrically connected may be acquired at different addresses. That is, the setting key signal input terminal and the RWM signal input terminal may be allocated in advance so that they can be acquired separately by different input ports. When the input terminals (lead terminals) are collectively arranged for each input port of the main control MPU 1310a, the setting key signal input terminal and the RWM signal input terminal can be separated from each other by different addresses. ..

B4. It is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 transmitted via the setting key signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. The logical state of the operation signal, which is the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, includes a logic (HI) for transmitting a non-settable state and a logic (LOW) for transmitting a settable state. The logic (HI) for notifying the non-configurable state was created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g in which the voltage of the setting key signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) is provided in the main control board 1310. While it is pulled up to the + 5V power supply line side, the logic (LOW) that conveys the configurable state is the setting key signal wiring pattern that is electrically connected to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal). The voltage is lowered to the ground (GND) (board ground) side of the main control board 1310.

Therefore, a + 5V creation circuit 1310g provided on the main control board 1310 with another input terminal adjacent to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) (or other input terminal around the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal)). The circuit is configured to be electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line created in. As a result, even if an unauthorized modification is made to short-circuit the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and other adjacent input terminals, it is electrically connected to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal). The voltage of the setting key signal wiring pattern to be set is pulled up to the + 5V power supply line side created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g provided in the main control board 1310, so that the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and electricity As a logical state of the operation signal, which is a detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a transmitted via the setting key signal wiring pattern, the setting becomes a logic (HI) that conveys the unsettable state as a result, and the setting can be changed. Can be eliminated.

RWM switch mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 transmitted via the RWM signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU1310a. The logical state of the operation signal, which is the detection signal from the 633d, includes a logic (HI) for transmitting the pressed non-operated state and a logic (LOW) for transmitting the pressed operation state. The logic (HI) for transmitting the pressing non-operation state is + 5V created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g provided in the main control board 1310 with the voltage of the RWM signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal). The logic (LOW) that conveys the pressing operation state is mainly the voltage of the RWM signal wiring pattern that is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal). It is pulled down to the ground (GND) (board ground) side of the control board 1310.

Therefore, regarding the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), as with the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal), another input terminal (or input terminal PA0) adjacent to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) is also used. The circuit is configured so as to be electrically connected to a + 5V power supply line created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g provided on the main control board 1310 with other input terminals) around the RWM signal input terminal). As a result, even if an unauthorized modification is made to short-circuit the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and another input terminal adjacent to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) is electrically connected. The voltage of the RWM signal wiring pattern is pulled up to the + 5V power supply line side created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g provided in the main control board 1310, so that it is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal). As a logical state of the operation signal which is a detection signal from the RWM switch 633d transmitted via the RWM signal wiring pattern, the result is a logic (HI) for transmitting a pressed non-operation state, and the setting cannot be changed. ..

It should be noted that the setting of the main control MPU 1310a electrically connected to various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern) for transmitting the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. The main control MPU1310a electrically connected to the key signal input terminal and various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern) for transmitting the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633. In addition to between the RWM signal input terminal and the terminal, the peripheral terminal of the setting key signal input terminal (another adjacent terminal) and the peripheral terminal of the RWM signal input terminal (adjacent terminal) are pressed by the RWM switch 633d. The logic of the RWM signal that the unit is not operated is HI (the logic that conveys the pressing non-operation state), and the logic of the setting key signal that makes the setting key switch 1311a OFF is HI (the non-setting state). It may be electrically connected to a wiring pattern in which another signal is input or a wiring pattern in which another signal is output so as to be a transmission logic). By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult to illegally modify the RWM signal input terminal and the setting key signal input terminal, and it is possible to contribute to the improvement of security.

B5. When the setting key switch 1311a is turned on, as described above, the logic of the setting key signal becomes LOW (logic that conveys the settable state), and the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. Since it is input to the input terminal), the setting key signal wiring pattern that is electrically connected around the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal). To prevent the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and the setting key signal wiring pattern from being improperly short-circuited to the ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. The substrate ground) is not formed and is a foil removal area. That is, the setting key switch 1311a is located around the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and around the setting key signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal). The ground (GND) (board ground) in which the logic of the setting key signal to be in the ON operation is LOW (the logic for transmitting the settable state) is not formed (is not arranged). This makes it possible to prevent the voltage applied to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and the setting key signal wiring pattern from being illegally lowered to the ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. ..

Further, when the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d provided on the payout control board 633 is operated, the logic of the RWM signal becomes LOW (logic for transmitting the pressing operation state) as described above, and the input port of the main control MPU 1310a. Since it is input to the PA input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), it is electrically connected to the periphery of the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal). Around the RWM signal wiring pattern, the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and the ground (GND) (board ground) so that the RWM signal wiring pattern is not improperly short-circuited to the ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. The GND) (board ground) is not formed and it is a foil removal region. That is, the pressing operation unit of the RWM switch 633d is located around the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and around the RWM signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal). The ground (GND) (board ground) in which the logic of the RWM signal in the operated state becomes LOW (logic for transmitting the pressing operation state) is not formed (arranged). As a result, it is possible to prevent the voltage applied to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and the RWM signal wiring pattern from being illegally lowered to the ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310.

B6. It is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 transmitted via the setting key signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. The logic state of the operation signal, which is the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, is the logic that conveys the non-configurable state (HI) and the logic that conveys the configurable state (LOW), and the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. It is a detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 transmitted via the RWM signal wiring pattern electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of. The logic state of the operation signal is the logic that conveys the pressing non-operation state (HI) and the logic that conveys the pressing operation state (LOW), and the logic that conveys the non-settable state (HI) and the logic that conveys the pressing non-operation state (HI). HI) has the same logic (HI), and the logic that conveys the configurable state (LOW) and the logic that conveys the pressing operation state (LOW) have the same logic (LOW). Instead, the logic that conveys the non-settable state and the logic that conveys the pressed operation state are the same logic (HI or LOW), and the logic that conveys the settable state and the logic that conveys the pressed non-operation state. The logic state of may be the same logic (LOW or HI). It is better to compare the logic that conveys the configurable state and the logic that conveys the pressed operation state with the same logic, and make the logic that conveys the configurable state and the logic that conveys the pressed non-operated state the same logic. Those who tamper with the terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal), setting key signal wiring pattern, input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), and RWM signal wiring pattern must understand the logic of this combination. As a result, one is short-circuited to the ground (GND) (board ground) and the other is short-circuited to the power supply, which can contribute to time-consuming and time-consuming, and the RWM signal input terminal. , The setting key signal wiring pattern, the setting key signal input terminal, and the RWM signal wiring pattern can be made difficult to be tampered with, and can contribute to the improvement of security.

Further, in a state where the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320, as described above, a plurality of main control boards 1310 are formed on the cover body side rib portion 1301 rb and the base body 1302 formed on the cover body 1301. It is in a state of being arranged (sandwiched) in the space formed by the rib portion 1302rb on the base body side. Further, as described above, the base body 1302 has a protrusion capable of contacting the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310. The portion 1302p is formed. When a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311ab formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, the protruding portion 1302p is mainly controlled when the main control board 1310 is curved and bent by the inserted force. By abutting on the solder surface (back surface) of the substrate 1310, the main control board 1310 can be prevented from bending and bending any more, and the wiring pattern formed on the main control board 1310 can be broken or the solder can be peeled off. It can be prevented. As shown in FIG. 186 (b), copper foil was removed from the region of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 to which the front surface of the protrusion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 abuts and the periphery thereof. A foil removing region SINSy having a circular shape is formed. As a result, even if the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr is scraped by the protruding portion 1302p, it is possible to prevent damage to the beta land (board ground) on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 by the protruding portion 1302p. .. The foil removal region SINSy, which has a circular shape from which the copper foil has been removed, safely and effectively utilizes the limited substrate area.

B7. The setting key switch 1311a is mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, and the RWM switch 633d is mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the payout control board 633, whereby the setting key switch 1311a and the RWM switch are mounted. 633d and 633d are mounted on separate control boards.

The setting key switch will be placed apart from the 633d, and even if it is attempted to be illegal, both the setting key switch 1311a side and the RWM switch 633d side must be illegally modified, and the work will take an extremely long time. When the fraudster who sees the arrangement of the 1311a and the RWM switch 633d loses his will to make a fraudulent modification, he / she can make it difficult to be fraudulent.

When actually changing the setting, it is necessary to operate the setting key switch 1311a and then the power switch 630a for turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while operating the RWM switch 633d. Since the power switch 630a is mounted on the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the board unit 620 of the main body frame 4, the setting key switch 1311a, the RWM switch 633d, and the power supply switch 630a required for setting change are Each is mounted on a separate board.

As shown, the main control input circuit 1310b (mainly an input circuit composed of resistors and transistors, which is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and has no error detection function, and has a common circuit configuration. It was input to the predetermined input terminals (PA5, PA0) of the main control MPU 1310a via the circuit), but via the dedicated ICs provided with the input circuit (that is, from the setting key switch 1311a). Even if the detection signal is input to the predetermined input terminal (PA5, PA0) of the main control MPU1310a via the setting key input dedicated IC and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d via the RWM input dedicated IC). good. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to illegally modify the logical state of the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d, which can contribute to the improvement of countermeasures against fraud.

Further, the main control input circuit 1310b without an error detection function mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is an input circuit mainly composed of resistors and transistors, and has a common circuit configuration. Therefore, the transistors of the plurality of main control input circuits 1310b may be configured as a DIP type transistor array in which the transistors are integrated into one IC.

B9. The detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 are shown in FIG. 179. As shown, the main control input circuit 1310b (mainly an input circuit composed of resistors and transistors, which is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and has no error detection function, and has a common circuit configuration. It was input to the predetermined input terminals (PA5, PA0) of the main control MPU 1310a via the circuit), but via the dedicated ICs provided with the input circuit (that is, from the setting key switch 1311a). Even if the detection signal is input to the predetermined input terminal (PA5, PA0) of the main control MPU1310a via the setting key input dedicated IC and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d via the RWM input dedicated IC). good. In this case, the resistors and transistors constituting the main control input circuit 1310b without other error detection functions are arranged so as to be interposed between the separate dedicated ICs. By doing so, it becomes difficult for any circuit to discriminate the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d, which can contribute to the improvement of fraud countermeasures.

There is. Since the RWM switch 633d is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633, the resistors MR16 and MR5 are arranged away from the RWM switch 633d. If the resistors MR16 and MR5 are tampered with, the logical state of the operation signal, which is the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, and the logical state of the operation signal, which is the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d, may be tampered with. Therefore, by separating the resistors MR16 and MR5 from the setting key switch 1311a (RWM switch 633d), the resistors MR16 and MR5 are mixed with other electronic components mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. The existence of important resistors MR16 and MR5 can be hidden.

Further, by separating the resistors MR16 and MR5 from the setting key switch 1311a (RWM switch 633d), an elongated illegal tool such as a wire can be tentatively inserted from the gap created between the setting key switch 1311a and the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320. Even if the insertion is illegally accessed, it is possible to make it difficult to illegally modify the resistors MR16 and MR5, which can contribute to the improvement of security.

One end of the resistor MR2 constituting the main control input circuit 1310b without an error detection function is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line created by the + 5V creation circuit 1310g provided in the main control board 1310, and the other end is electrically connected. It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a, and is arranged above the lead type collective resistance arranged above the setting key switch 1311a. There is. In this way, the resistors MR16 and MR5 are arranged apart from each other. As a result, the resistors MR16 and MR5 are mixed with other electronic components mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, so that the logical state of the operation signal, which is the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, and the RWM. It is possible to make it difficult to notice from the switch 633d that it is an important electronic component related to the logical state of the operation signal which is the detection signal.

Further, by separating the resistors MR16 and MR5 from each other, it is possible to make it difficult to illegally modify the resistors MR16 and MR5 at the same time, which can contribute to the improvement of security.

B13. Error that the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 are input. As other circuits between the main control input circuit 1310b without the detection function and the main control MPU 1310a, as shown in FIG. 187, various DIP type ICs, lead type resistors, lead type diodes, and lead types The capacitor, the lead type electrolytic capacitor, and the DIP type crystal oscillator are arranged so as to intervene. By doing so, even if an elongated unauthorized tool such as a wire is intruded into the main control board box 1320 to short-circuit the lead terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, the intrusion of the unauthorized tool can be prevented by another circuit. It is possible to induce a short circuit to another circuit to prevent the operation of the main control board 1310 so that the game cannot be performed.

Prevents lateral displacement between the game board side drawer connector (convex type) and the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the game board 5 when inserted into the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). Grooves that enhance the fitting between the game board side drawer connector (convex type) and the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the game board 5 are formed from the vicinity of the front surface of the opening of the box-shaped main body toward the bottom surface of the box-shaped main body. It is formed.

On the bottom of the box-shaped body, there are pin-type terminals arranged in two rows in the left-right direction in the direction perpendicular to the bottom (six pin-type terminals are lined up in one row in the left-right direction). It penetrates the box-shaped body and the base body.

Mounting through holes are formed on the left side and the right side of the base body, respectively. When mounting the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) on the main body frame side relay board, rivets are first inserted from the front of the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) into the mounting through hole to relay the main body frame side. On the back surface (solder surface) of the substrate, the end portion is crimped and plastically deformed. As a result, the drawer connector (concave type) on the main body frame side is fixed to the relay board on the main body frame side.

Further, on the back surface of the base body, when the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) is mounted on the main body frame side relay board, the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) is oriented in the normal direction on the main body frame side relay board. A columnar protrusion is formed so that it can be mounted.

In addition to the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type), the main body frame side relay board is equipped with a DIP (Dual Inline Package) type small connector that is electrically connected to this main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). , Is electrically connected to the payout control board 633 via wiring (harness). When the game board 5 is attached to the main body frame 4, the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 is guided to the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the main body frame 4, and the game board side drawer connector (convex type) is guided. ) And each terminal of the drawer connector (concave type) on the frame side of the main body are electrically connected, so that the main control provided for the game board 5 is provided via a small DIP type connector and wiring (harness). A control signal line for transmitting various control signals by the board 1310 and the payout control board 633 provided in the main body frame 4 is formed.

The drawer connector (concave type) on the main body frame side electrically connects the main control board 1310 provided in the game board 5 and the payout control board 633 provided in the main body frame 4, and also plays various power sources from the power supply board 630. It is electrically connected to various power supply lines (including ground (GND)) that supply to various boards provided on the board 5, and is another main body apart from the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). The frame-side drawer connector (concave type) is provided on a main body frame-side relay board separate from the main body frame-side relay board. The other main body frame side relay board is a DIP (Dual Inline Package) that is electrically connected to the other main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) in addition to the other main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). A small type connector is mounted and electrically connected to each decorative board and various sensors provided in the door frame 3 via wiring (harness). When the game board 5 is attached to the main body frame 4, another game board side drawer different from the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 that is electrically connected to the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). The connector (convex type) is guided to the other main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the main body frame 4, and each terminal of the other game board side drawer connector (convex type) and the other main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). ) By being electrically connected to each terminal, a peripheral control board 1510 provided on the game board 5 and each decorative board provided on the door frame 3 via a DIP type small connector and wiring (harness). A control signal line for transmitting various control signals and detection signals by various sensors, various speakers, and the like is formed. The structure of the other main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) is the same as that of the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type), and the other main body frame of the other main body frame side drawer connector (concave type). The method of fixing to the side relay board'is the same as the method of fixing the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) to the main body frame side relay board (fixing method using rivets).

[13. Game content]
The content of the game by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 137, 144, 145 and the like. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player rotates the handle 195 of the handle unit 180 arranged in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3, and the game ball B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is operated. However, the game board 5 is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game by the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. The driving strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 195, and it can be driven strongly enough to rotate in the clockwise direction, and a maximum of 100 game balls can be continuously driven per minute. B, that is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted in front of the game panel 1100 at appropriate positions in a predetermined gauge arrangement, and the game ball B comes into contact with the obstacle nails N to cause the game ball. The flow speed of B is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball B so that the movements can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail N, a windmill W that rotates due to the contact of the game ball B is provided above the side upper left unit 2300 and to the left of the center accessory 2500.

When the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view from the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, it comes into contact with a plurality of obstacle nails N while abutting against the plurality of obstacle nails N. It will flow down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500. Then, when the game ball B flowing down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2511 opened in the peripheral wall portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500, it is supplied from the warp outlet 2512 to the stage 2513.

The game ball B supplied to the stage 2513 rolls on the stage 2513 and moves back and forth from side to side, and is discharged forward from the central portion in the left-right direction. When the game ball B is discharged into the game area 5a from the central discharge portion 2513a in the center of the stage 2513, the central discharge portion 2513a is located directly above the first starting port 2002, so that there is a high probability that the first Accepted at the start port 2002. When the game balls B are received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", "feature hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", A special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates "time reduction (time reduction)" is performed.

The game ball B discharged from the stage 2513 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be received by the first start port 2002 of the start port unit 2100.

By the way, when the game ball B that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2511, it is moved to the center side in the left-right direction by the shelf portion 2301 of the side upper left unit 2300 and the obstacle nail N, and the side unit 2200. There is a possibility that the general winning opening 2001 or the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100 will be accepted. Then, when the game balls B are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633.

If the game ball B is hit with a strength that is weaker to some extent than that, it will enter the second guide passage 2522 with a high probability. That is, the game ball B driven into the upper right side of the center accessory 2500 circulates in either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 according to the driving strength.

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

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

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery until the result of the ordinary lottery is suggested (for example, 0. 01 to 60 seconds, also called normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second starting port 2004 is normally opened after the lapse of the fluctuation time.

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

The game ball B passing through the left side of the gate 2003 and the gate 2003 has a high probability of hitting the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 due to a plurality of obstacle nails N planted between the gate 2003 and the side right middle unit 2700. It flows down and is occasionally accepted by the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, and rarely by the second sub-out opening 2022. When the game ball B is accepted into the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700, a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out in the same manner as the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200. On the other hand, when the game ball B is received in the second sub-out opening 2022, it is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a without any chance of being accepted in the accessory winning opening 2006, the second starting opening 2004, or the large winning opening 2005.

Further, the game ball B passing through the right side of the gate 2003 is received by the second sub-out port 2022 of the side right middle unit 2700, and the general winning opening 2001, the accessory winning opening 2006, and the second starting opening of the side right middle unit 2700. There is no chance of being accepted in 2004 or the big prize opening 2005, and it is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a.

In this way, when the game ball B is received in the second sub-out port 2022 on the downstream side of the guide passage group 2520, the game ball B is discharged to the outside of the game area 5a, so that the second sub-out to the player It is possible to urge the driving operation so that the game ball B cannot be received by the mouth 2022. In the present embodiment, in the guide passage group 2520 of the center accessory 2500, the probability of receiving the game ball B of the second sub-out port 2022 is lower in the second guide passage 2522 than in the first guide passage 2521. , It is possible to prompt the driving operation of the game ball B aiming at the second guide passage 2522. That is, rather than "right-handed" in which the game ball B abuts on the abutment portion 1006, it is possible to prompt a driving operation that requires a delicate adjustment for the rotation operation of the handle 182, and the driving operation of the game ball B can be promoted. You can enjoy the original game of the pachinko machine 1 that mainly uses.

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

At this time, if the game ball B is accepted in the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and "per character" is drawn as the result of the first special lottery or the second special lottery, the character wins. Since the mouth 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B that has flowed down the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 is received by the prize winning mouth 2006 with a high probability. When the game ball B is received in the accessory winning opening 2006 when the accessory winning opening 2006 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) is used from the payout device 580 by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. The game ball B (pieces) is paid out to the upper plate 201.

The game ball B received by the character winning opening 2006 and detected by the character winning opening sensor 2601 circulates in the distribution passage 3158, and the V winning opening 2007 or the losing opening 2008 is provided by the V winning opening door 3006 that advances and retreats back and forth. It is distributed to any of. When the game ball B is distributed to the V winning opening 2007, the large winning opening 2005 opens and closes in a predetermined opening / closing pattern as an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the game ball B is distributed to the loss opening 2008, an advantageous gaming state that is advantageous to the player does not occur.

The game ball B released to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the left side of the accessory winning opening 2006 has the first shelf portion 2421, the second starting opening door 2411, and the second shelf portion 2422, and the upper side is on the left. After rolling to the left, it is released to the left, and further, the third shelf portion 2423, the grand prize opening door 2413, and the fourth shelf portion 2424 are rolled to the left and released into the game area 5a. ..

Then, when the game ball B is rolling on the second start door 2411, the normal lottery result drawn by the passage of the game ball B at the gate 2003 is "normal hit", and the second start door 2411. When the game ball B is retracted, the game ball B is received by the second starting port 2004. When the game balls B are received in the second starting port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player (for example, "big hit", "medium hit", "small hit", "feature hit", "probability fluctuation (probability change) hit", A special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates "time reduction (time reduction)" is performed.

Further, when the game ball B is rolling on the large winning opening door 2413, a special lottery result (first special) is drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. When the lottery result and the second special lottery result) are special lottery results (for example, "big hit") that generate an advantageous gaming state, the big winning opening 2005 opens and closes the game ball B in a predetermined opening / closing pattern after the special fluctuation time elapses. Will be ready for acceptance. When the game ball B is received in the large winning opening 2005 when the large winning opening 2005 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) is received from the payout device 580 by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. The game ball B is paid out to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the large winning opening 2005 allows the game ball B to be accepted, by accepting the game ball B in the large winning opening 2005, a large number of game balls B can be paid out, and the player can be entertained. can.

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

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

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

When the special lottery result (for example, the second special lottery result) is "second big hit", the big winning opening 2005 makes it possible to accept the game ball B in a predetermined pattern, and then ST (special time) is set as an advantageous game state. ) Is generated. This ST is to maintain a probable change or a time saving state during a predetermined specific number of fluctuations.

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

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

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

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

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to displaying the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation in the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 is performed according to the lottery special lottery result. It is possible to perform a player participation type effect of operating the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301. In the player participation type production, the pressing operation unit 303 can be raised to stand out by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, and the player participation type production can be enjoyed by operating the effect operation unit 301.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, each decorative board provided in the door frame 3, each decorative board provided in the game board 5, the effect display device 1600, and the back front effect unit 3100 and the back of the back unit 3000 are provided. It is possible to perform light emission effect, display effect, etc. by appropriately using the rear upper effect unit 3200, the back rear lower effect unit 3300, etc., and the player can be entertained by various effects. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in the player participation type production in which the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 are operated, the correct operation is performed when the player makes a mistake or does not perform the operation to be operated. Notify the player to that effect.

[14. Second embodiment of the game board]
Next, the gaming board 5A of the second embodiment in the pachinko machine 1 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 194 to 196 and the like. FIG. 194 (a) is an enlarged front view showing a part of the game board of the first embodiment, and FIG. 194 (b) is an enlarged part of the game board of the second embodiment at the same part as (a). It is a front view which shows. FIG. 195 (a) is an enlarged front view showing a part of the game board of the second embodiment, and FIG. 195 (b) shows a state in which the back front left decoration unit of the back front effect unit is light-emitting decorated in (a). It is explanatory drawing shown by. FIG. 196 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the panel plate of the game panel is light-emittingly decorated in FIG. 195 (a).

The game board 5A of the second embodiment is the game board 5 of the first embodiment, except that the front component 1000A and the panel plate 1110A of the game panel 1100 are formed of a milky white synthetic resin having translucency. It has the same configuration as the above, and detailed description of the parts having the same configuration will be omitted.

In the game board 5 of the first embodiment, since the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110 and panel holder 1120) are made of transparent synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. 194 (a). The back unit 3000 provided behind the front component 1000 and the game panel 1100 can be visually recognized from the front (player side).

On the other hand, in the game board 5A of the present embodiment, since the front component 1000A and the panel plate 1110A are formed of the milky white synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. 194 (b), the front component 1000 and the panel plate 1110A The portion of the back unit 3000 or the like provided behind the game panel 1100 except for the inside of the opening 1112 of the panel plate 1110A cannot be visually recognized from the front (player side).

The front component 1000A and the panel plate 1110A are made of a translucent milky white opaque synthetic resin. The panel plate 1110A may be a milky white synthetic resin plate machined or may be molded by injection molding using a milky white synthetic resin.

In the game board 5A of the present embodiment, since the panel plate 1110A and the like of the game panel 1100 are milky white, a part of the back unit 3000 provided behind through the panel plate 1110A and the like (from the opening 1112 in the front view). The outer part) can be made invisible. Since the panel plate 1110A and the like have translucency, when the decorative body and the like provided at the rear are light-emitting and decorated, the light from the decorative body at the rear passes through the panel plate 1110A and the decorative body is used. The luminous decoration can be visually recognized by the player.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 195 (a), in the back front left decorative unit 3120 in the back front effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 provided behind the panel plate 1110A and the like, the panel plate 1110A is viewed from the front. The back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122, the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, and the like, which are located outside the opening 1112, are invisible from the front. Then, when the back front left logo decoration portion 3121, the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122, the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, and the like were light-emitting decorated, they had translucency as shown in FIG. 195 (b). The back front upper left logo decoration part 3122 and the back front left sub decoration part 3122 and the back front left sub decoration part 3122 and the back front left sub decoration part 3122 and the back front left sub decoration part 3122 and the back front left sub decoration part 3122, which are provided in the rear through the panel plate 1110A and are light-transmitted and decorated by light transmission. The part 3123 and the like can be visually recognized.

Since the panel board 1110A and the like are milky white, the emission colors of the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122 and the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, which are decorated with light emission, can be transmitted as they are, and the color can be changed. It is possible to show the player a rich light emission effect.

As the opacity having translucency in the panel plate 1110A, it is desirable that the light transmittance is 2% to 80% and the haze value is 80% to 100%. This is because if the transmittance is lower than this, it becomes difficult to illuminate and decorate with sufficient brightness, and if the transmittance is higher than this, it becomes difficult to obtain it as an opaque material. Further, if the haze value is lower than this, the shape and decoration of the member provided at the rear are easily recognized, and there is a possibility that the effect of concealment cannot be sufficiently obtained.

Further, although the panel plate 1110A and the like are milky white (Munsell value (10YR 9.2 / 0.5)), "white Munsell value (N 9.5)" and "munsell color Munsell value (2.5Y 9.2)" are used. /0.5) ”,“ Uhana color Munsell value (10Y 9/1) ”,“ Generated color Munsell value (10YR 9/1) ”,“ Lead white Munsell value (N 9) ”,“ Oyster white Munsell value (5GY 8.5 / 0.3) ”,“ Gray-white Munsell value (10YR 9 / 0.5) ”,“ White indigo Munsell value (9.7BG 8.2 / 1.3) ”,“ Secret color Munsell Value (2B 8.5 / 2) ”,“ Ivory color Munsell value (2.5Y 8.5 / 1.5) ”,“ Cream yellow Munsell value (5Y 8.5 / 3.5) ”,“ Sakura color Munsell value A white color such as "value (10RP 9 / 2.5)" may be used.

By the way, since the panel plate 1110A and the like are milky white having translucency, if a colored decorative body such as black, red, or blue is provided behind the panel plate 1110A, the decorative body emits light. Even in the undecorated state, it may be visible through the panel plate 1110A depending on the color of the decorative body. Then, when the decorative body is seen through the panel board 1110A, the player notices the existence of the decorative body behind the panel board 1110A, and the impact (surprise) given to the player when the decorative body is luminescently decorated is given. There is a possibility that it will be lowered and the desired effect cannot be obtained.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the back front left decorative unit 3120 provided behind the panel plate 1110A constitutes the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122, the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, and the like. Since the left first decorative body 3124, the back front left second decorative body 3125, the back front left third decorative body 3126, and the back front left decorative body base 3127 are formed of colorless and transparent members, they are transparent. Through the milky white panel plate 1110A, the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122 and the back front left sub decoration portion 3123 cannot be seen. Therefore, in a state where the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122, the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, and the like are not light-emittingly decorated, they cannot be seen by the player, so that it is difficult for the player to notice their existence. .. Then, when the back front upper left logo decoration part 3122, the back front left sub decoration part 3123, etc. are light-emittingly decorated, they can be seen through the milky white panel plate 1110A having translucency, which surprises the player. In addition to being able to enjoy the light emission effect, the light of the light emission decoration can be seen through the panel plate 1110A, so that the inside of the game area 5a can be made to look bright and beautiful, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. ..

Further, the game board 5A of the present embodiment is provided with a panel decorative substrate 1130 on which a plurality of LEDs 1130a that irradiate the outer peripheral surface of the panel plate 1110A with light is mounted on the outside of the milky white panel plate 1110A having translucency. Has been done. The plurality of LEDs 1130a are full-color LEDs. When a plurality of LEDs 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130 are made to emit light, the panel plate 1110A can be made to emit light and be decorated as shown by shading in FIG. 196. As a result, the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110A) through which the game ball B circulates is in a state of self-lighting, so that the inside of the game area 5a can be brightened and the game area 5a is circulated. The game ball B can be made easy to see, and the appearance in the game area 5a can be improved, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted.

Further, since the game panel 1100 self-illuminates, the game ball B circulating in the game area 5a can be seen in silhouette, so that the game ball B can be easily visually recognized, and the firing intensity is finely adjusted. It can be easy. Further, if the panel decorative board 1130 is provided on both the left side and the right side of the panel board 1110A, it can be intuitively understood when giving "right-handed" or "left-handed" advice to the player. become. More specifically, depending on the situation of the game, the LED 1130a of the panel decorative substrate 1130 on either the left side or the right side is made to emit light, and the left part or the right part of the panel plate 1110A is made to emit light to decorate the player. It is possible to intuitively understand that "left-handed" or "right-handed" advice is given, and it is possible to entertain the player in the operation of driving the game ball B. It is possible to entertain the player with a new sense of light emission.

More specifically, in a conventional pachinko machine, in a game board using an opaque veneer plywood as a game panel, a decorative film having a predetermined pattern printed on the front surface of the plywood is attached to the inside of the game area. I try to decorate it. However, when plywood is used for the gaming panel, the decoration with the decorative film does not look like other gaming machines, and it is difficult to enhance the appeal to the player. On the other hand, when the panel plate 1110 through which the game ball B circulates is made transparent as in the game board 5 of the first embodiment, the decoration of the back unit 3000 provided in the rear and the effect image of the effect display device 1600. While the pachinko machine 1 can be easily seen and has a feeling of openness, the game ball B circulating in front of the transparent panel plate 1110 seems to be floating in the air, and depending on the player, the game ball. The movement of B may be difficult to understand.

On the other hand, in the gaming board 5A of the present embodiment, since the panel plate 1110A having translucency can be light-emitting and decorated by the plurality of LEDs 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130, the light-emitting color and the light-emitting pattern of the LED 1130a and the like can be made. By appropriately combining the above, the decoration of the panel board 1110A can be changed in various ways, and the self-luminous game board 5A, which has not been seen in conventional pachinko machines, can be shown to the player, and the player is interested in it. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can be strongly attracted and has a high appeal to the player. Further, since the panel plate 1110A self-illuminates due to the plurality of LEDs 1130a of the panel decorative substrate 1130, the game ball B circulating in front of the panel plate 1110A can be easily seen, and the player can enjoy the movement of the game ball B. However, it is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

According to the game board 5A of the present embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned effects and effects, the panel plate 1110A or the like is made of a milky white synthetic resin, and it is sufficient to use a resin having a lower grade than the transparent resin, so that it is transparent. Compared with the case where the resin is used, the cost required for the panel plate 1110A can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the panel decorative substrate 1130 is provided on the outside of the outer periphery of the panel plate 1110A, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the panel decorative substrate 1130 is provided behind the panel plate 1110A. You can do it. Thereby, the same action and effect as described above can be obtained. Further, as compared with the case where the panel plate is made transparent, the point-like light from the LED 1130a or the like provided at the rear can be diffused by the opalescent milky white panel plate 1110A, so that the panel plate 1110A can be diffused. Can be softly luminescent and decorated, and the glare can be suppressed to make the game board 5A easy on the eyes.

Further, in the game board 5A of the present embodiment, although not shown, a decorative film (also referred to as a cell) having a predetermined pattern may be attached to the front surface of the panel board 1110A. As a result, it is possible to suppress the wear of the panel plate 1110A due to the distribution of the game ball B, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the appearance of the game area 5a when the rear decorative body is not luminescently decorated by the cell pattern. Can be improved. Further, the light from the LED provided behind the panel plate 1110A can be used to illuminate and decorate the cell pattern together with the panel plate 1110A, so that the decoration of the panel plate 1110A can be made to look more beautiful.

Further, as described above, when the cell is provided on the front surface of the panel plate 1110A, by using the pattern applied to the cell as the outline, the light emitting decoration by the LED provided behind the panel plate 1110A ( Illuminations) can be made clear, and the decoration effect of light emitting decoration can be further enhanced.

Further, a cell may be provided on the rear surface of the panel plate 1110A. As a result, the shadow of the cell (or the pattern applied to the cell) is reflected on the panel plate 1110A by the light from the LED or the like provided behind the panel plate 1110A (cell), so that the LED emits light. Therefore, the decoration of the panel board 1110A can be changed, and the player can be entertained and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed. The shadow reflected on the panel board 1110A may be, for example, characters such as "right-handed", "left-handed", "chance", etc., and entertains the player by suggesting a change in the game situation. Can be done.

Further, in the above embodiment, a decorative body (back front left decorative unit 3120) having a fixed position is provided behind the milky white panel plate 1110A, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[15. Third embodiment of the game board]
Next, the gaming board 5B of the third embodiment in the pachinko machine 1 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 197. FIG. 197 is an exploded perspective view of the panel plate and the cell in the game board of the third embodiment as viewed from the front by disassembling the panel plate and the cell. The game board 5B of the third embodiment has the same structure except that the cell 1140 is provided behind the panel plate 1110 in the game board 5 of the first embodiment, and the parts having the same structure will be described in detail. Is omitted.

In the game board 5B of the second embodiment, a film-shaped cell 1140 having a predetermined pattern is detachably provided on the rear side of the panel plate 1110 of the transparent game panel 1100 in the game panel 1100. .. The cell 1140 is a synthetic resin film having a thickness of 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm, and a predetermined pattern is printed on the cell 1140. The material of the cell 1140 is "polyethylene terephthalate resin", "polycarbonate resin", "ABS resin", "AES resin", "PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) resin", "polypropylene resin", "polyethylene resin". , "Polystyrene resin", "impact resistant polystyrene resin", "polyvinyl chloride", and the like.

The cell 1140 is formed in a size that covers only a part (here, a portion extending from the left side to the lower side of the center accessory 2500) with respect to the entire surface of the panel plate 1110. Further, although not shown, the cell 1140 is attached to the rear surface of the panel plate 1110 using screws in a state of having a predetermined amount of rattling. As a result, compared to the case where the panel plate 1110 is attached to the entire surface, the labor required for mounting the cell 1140 can be facilitated, and the amount of the cell 1140 used can be reduced. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, since the cell 1140 is provided in a part of the panel plate 1110, the number of cells 1140 that can be taken from the resin sheet can be increased as compared with the conventional cell attached to the panel plate, and the pachinko machine can be used. The cost of 1 can be reduced.

Further, since the cell 1140 is attached to the panel plate 1110 in a state of rattling, even if the cell 1140 expands and contracts due to changes in temperature, humidity, etc., the difference in expansion and contraction with the panel plate 1110 can be absorbed by the rattling. can. As a result, even if the cell 1140 contracts with respect to the panel plate 1110, it is possible to prevent wrinkles and cracks from forming in the cell 1140, and it is possible to maintain the decorative effect of the pattern of the cell 1140. ..

Furthermore, since the cell 1140 is attached to the panel plate 1110 with screws, the cell 1140 can be easily attached to and detached from the panel plate 1110. Therefore, by replacing the cell 1140 with a cell 1140 having a different pattern, the specifications of the pachinko machine 1 can be changed and the model can be changed. It is possible to easily respond to changes, design changes, etc., suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1, and replace it with a cell 1140 with a more decorative effect. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to a person.

Further, since the cell 1140 is provided on the rear side of the transparent panel plate 1110, the distance from the player to the cell 1140 is longer than in the case where the cell 1140 is provided on the front side of the panel plate 1110, and the game is played. It is possible to reduce the feeling of oppression on the person.

Further, it is desirable that the cell 1140 has a translucent property, and the pattern of the cell 1140 can be luminescently decorated by the light from the LED provided behind the panel plate 1110 (cell 1140). The appearance in the region 5a can be improved, and the light emitting decoration of the cell 1140 can strongly attract the attention of the player, and the appealing power of the pachinko machine 1 can be enhanced.

In the above embodiment, the cell 1140 is attached to the panel plate 1110 using a screw, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the cell 1140 is described as a panel plate 1110 and a panel holder 1120. It may be installed by sandwiching it between.

Further, in the above embodiment, the opening 1112 in which the center accessory 2500 of the panel plate 1110 is provided is provided at a position offset (eccentric to the upper right) in the upper right direction with respect to the panel plate 1110. Although shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be offset upward (eccentric upward) or offset laterally (eccentric left-right). It is preferable that the cell 1140 is provided behind the portion where the opening 1112 becomes wider (eccentric) due to the deviation (eccentricity), so that the same effect as described above can be obtained.

Further, the opening 1112 provided with the center accessory 2500 may be offset with respect to the center or the outer edge of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110), or may be offset with respect to the center or the outer edge of the game area 5a. good. Therefore, for example, when the centers of the panel plate 1110 and the game area 5a do not coincide with each other, even if the center of the opening 1112 offset from the center of the panel plate 1110 coincides with the center of the game area 5a. Alternatively, the center of the opening 1112 that is offset from the center of the game area 5a may coincide with the center of the panel plate 1110.

[16. Another embodiment of the function display unit]
Subsequently, another embodiment of the function display unit 1400 provided on the game board 5 or the like will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 198 to 203 and the like. 198 (a) is a front view of the function display unit of the second embodiment, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line in (a), and (c) is in front of the function display unit of (a). It is a perspective view seen from the rear, and (d) is a perspective view which looked at the function display unit of (a) from the back. FIG. 199 is an exploded perspective view of the functional display unit of FIG. 198 disassembled and viewed from the front, and FIG. 200 is an exploded perspective view of the functional display unit of FIG. 198 disassembled and viewed from the rear. FIG. 201 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the relationship between the function display unit of FIG. 198 and the player. FIG. 202 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the relationship between the function display unit of the third embodiment and the player. FIG. 203 is a cross-sectional view of the function display unit of the fourth embodiment.

The function display unit 1400A of the second embodiment is variablely displayed by blinking a plurality of LEDs 1401 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, similarly to the function display unit 1400 of the first embodiment described above. Later, by turning on or off each of them so as to have a predetermined combination, the game state (game status), the normal lottery result, the special lottery result (first special lottery result, the second special lottery result), and the normal lottery result. The number of holdings, the number of holdings of special lottery results, the number of rounds at the time of "big hit", etc. are displayed.

More specifically, in the game board 5 and the like of the first embodiment, for example, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002, the second start port 2004 and the like, the main control board 1310 has a special lottery result as an internal process. Is drawn. Then, the main control board 1310 transmits a control signal for displaying the lottery special lottery result to the function display unit 1400, and displays the lottery special lottery result using the corresponding LED 1401 in the function display unit 1400. I am doing it.

Further, the control signal of the special lottery result drawn on the main control board 1310 is also transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the peripheral control board 1510 displays a predetermined effect image of the effect display device 1600 as an effect suggesting the special lottery result. Is displayed. Since the effect image displayed on the effect display device 1600 focuses on entertaining the player, it is difficult to understand the details of the special lottery result drawn on the main control board 1310, although it can be roughly recognized. It has become. On the other hand, in the function display unit 1400, the lottery special lottery result is accurately displayed, but since it is displayed by the light emission of a plurality of small LEDs 1401, the displayed contents can be understood at a glance. It is difficult.

Therefore, by taking a picture of the function display unit 1400 with a digital camera (digital camera), a camera attached to the mobile phone, etc., the light emission state of the LED in the function display unit 1400 is analyzed, and the contents displayed on the function display unit 1400. It is conceivable to try to know as soon as possible.

However, when the special lottery result of the lottery can be easily determined by the light emission of the LED in the function display unit 1400, the effect display indicates that the special lottery result displayed on the function display unit 1400 is "missing". Even if the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the device 1600, knowing the result makes it impossible to enjoy the effect by the effect image and hopes that the effect image will end sooner. , There is a risk that some players may become frustrated and lose their interest in the game.

On the other hand, in the function display unit 1400A of the second embodiment, the light emitting state of the plurality of LEDs 1401 can be clearly seen by the eyes of the player, but when the image is taken with a digital camera or the like, the light emitting state of the plurality of LEDs 1401 is clearly visible. It became unclear so that the displayed content could not be determined.

Specifically, the function display unit 1400A is provided on the front side of the function display board 1402 in which a plurality of LEDs 1401 are mounted on the front surface and the function display board 1402, and independently transmits the light from the LEDs 1401 to the front. Light from the translucent sheet 1404 provided on the front side of the reflector rear 1403, the translucent sheet 1404 provided on the front side of the reflector rear 1403, and the LED 1401 provided on the front side of the translucent sheet 1404 and transmitted through the reflector rear 1403. It is equipped with a reflector front 1405 that radiates in different directions.

As shown in FIG. 199, a plurality of LEDs 1401 are randomly mounted on the function display board 1402. After the reflector 1403, a plurality of through holes 1403a are provided so as to correspond to each LED 1401 of the function display board 1402. The plurality of through holes 1403a are provided perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1402 (see FIG. 198 (b) and the like).

The front reflector 1405 has a plurality of display holes 1405a that correspond to the through holes 1403a of the reflector rear 1403 and penetrate in the front-rear direction. The plurality of display holes 1405a are located immediately before the through holes 1403a of the reflector rear 1403 corresponding to each rear end side, and the front end side passes through the center of the rear end side from the front vertical line of the function display board 1402. It is located at a distance from each other. That is, the axial direction of the plurality of display holes 1405a is directed to each direction with respect to the vertical line on the front surface of the function display board 1402.

Further, the reflector front 1405 has a distinguishing recess 1405b which is recessed from the front surface to the rear so as to connect the plurality of display holes 1405a. The distinction recess 1405b divides the plurality of display holes 1405a into two, a display hole 1405a (LED1401) related to the first special lottery result and a display hole 1405a (LED1401) related to the second special lottery result.

As shown in FIG. 201, the plurality of display holes 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 are the LEDs 1401 when viewed from a player sitting at a position 50 cm to 70 cm away from the function display unit 1400A in front of the pachinko machine 1. The light from is directed in three directions: one that can be seen only by the left eye, one that can be seen only by the right eye, and one that can be seen by either the left eye or the right eye. That is, the plurality of display holes 1405a are divided into three, one for the left eye, one for the right eye, and one for both eyes.

According to the function display unit 1400A of the present embodiment, the light from all the LEDs 1401 can be seen by the player with both eyes, so that when the special lottery result or the like is displayed, the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs 1401 is clarified. It can be visually recognized, and can exhibit the same functions as the function display unit 1400 of the first embodiment.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400A of the present embodiment, when a photograph is taken with a digital camera or the like, since the digital camera or the like is monocular, either one for the left eye and one for both eyes, or one for the right eye and one for both eyes is photographed. Therefore, it is difficult to photograph the light emitting state (light emitting state) of all the LEDs 1401. That is, when a photograph is taken with a digital camera or the like, the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs 1401 can be made unclear, and it is difficult to determine the display content of the function display unit 1400A. Therefore, the display content on the function display unit 1400A is clarified based on the photograph taken, and the special lottery result of the lottery is "missing", mere "big hit", "probability change hit", "time saving hit", By knowing "second big hit (ST hit)" etc., you will not be able to enjoy the production to suggest the lottery special lottery result, or you will not be able to enjoy the advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit" game) that is occurring. It is possible to prevent the player from doing something like that, and it is possible to entertain the player and suppress the decline in the interest.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400A of the present embodiment, the orientation of the display hole 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 is different, and the display content is matched to the position of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1. Is made to look good, so that the display content of the function display unit 1400A can be clearly shown from behind the seated player. Therefore, since it is possible to make it difficult for other players to grasp the game situation, it is possible to reduce the possibility of being looked into by other players, and the game can be played without worrying about other players. Can be entertained.

Further, as described above, since the display content is made to look good according to the position of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1, the function by the digital camera or the like is performed from the position behind the player. It is possible to make it more difficult to photograph the displayed contents on the display unit 1400A, and it is possible to surely achieve the above-mentioned effects.

Further, in the function display unit 1400A, the display hole 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 is added in the left-right direction and also in the vertical direction so as to be different in the vertical direction, and the eyes of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 are seated. When viewed from the height, the displayed contents look good. As a result, when an attempt is made to take a picture with a digital camera or the like, it is necessary to adjust the height direction as well, which makes it more difficult to take a picture of the display content on the function display unit 1400A.

Further, since the display holes 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 are oriented differently for the left eye, the right eye, etc., it is possible to suppress the increase in the distance between the plurality of LEDs 1401 in the left-right direction on the function display board 1402, which is a function. The width of the display unit 1400A in the left-right direction can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the plurality of display holes 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 are directed in the direction of each section in order to be used for the left eye, the right eye, etc., but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the function display unit 1400B having the configuration shown in FIG. 202 may be used.

The function display unit 1400B includes a function display board 1411 on which a plurality of left LEDs 1411a and a plurality of right LEDs 1411b separated by a predetermined distance (distance between the left and right pupils of the player) in the left-right direction are mounted on the front surface, and a function display. A translucent translucent 1412 provided on the front side of the substrate 1411 and independently transmitting light from the left LED 1411a and a right LED 1411b to the front, and a translucent translucent 1412 provided on the front side of the reflector 1412. It includes a sheet 1413, a left LED 1411a which is provided on the front side of the translucent sheet 1413 and has passed through the reflector 1412, and a reflector front 1414 which radiates light from the right LED 1411b forward.

The left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b of the function display board 1411 are separated from each other by 40 mm to 80 mm in the left-right direction. The reflector 1412 is provided with a plurality of through holes 1412a so as to correspond to the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b of the function display board 1411. The plurality of through holes 1412a are provided perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1411. The reflector front 1414 is provided with a plurality of display holes 1414a so as to correspond to the plurality of through holes 1412a of the reflector rear 1412. The plurality of display holes 1414a are provided perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1411.

This function display unit 1400B is configured so that when viewed from a player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, the light from the left LED 1411a can be seen only by the left eye, and the light from the right LED 1411b can be seen only by the right eye. ing. Therefore, since the light from all of the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b can be seen by the player with both eyes, the same function as the function display unit 1400 of the first embodiment can be exhibited.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400B, since the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b are separated in the left-right direction, only one of them can be photographed with a monocular digital camera or the like, and the second embodiment. It is possible to obtain the same action and effect as the function display unit 1400A of.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400B, since the plurality of display holes 1414a of the reflector front 1414 are directed in the direction perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1411, from a position other than the front surface of the function display unit 1400B. Since the displayed content cannot be clearly seen, it can be difficult to shoot the displayed content with a digital camera or the like.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400B, the plurality of display holes 1414a of the reflector front 1414 are directed in the direction perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1411, and all face the same direction, so that the reflector front 1414 is easy. It is possible to suppress an increase in cost for the pachinko machine 1.

In the above embodiment, the function display unit 1400A and the function display unit 1400B having a configuration that is difficult to shoot with a monocular digital camera or the like are shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the function display having the configuration as shown in FIG. 203 is not limited thereto. It may be unit 1400C.

The function display unit 1400C emits invisible light (infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, etc.) that can be photographed by a digital camera or the like, making it difficult to discriminate the display contents. Specifically, a functional display board 1421 on which a plurality of LEDs 1421a are mounted on the front surface, a reflector rear 1422 provided on the front side of the functional display board 1421, and a flat plate-shaped plate provided on the front side of the reflector rear 1422. It includes a light guide plate 1423, an auxiliary substrate 1424 on which an invisible light LED 1424a that irradiates the side surface of the light guide plate 1423 with invisible light, and a reflector front 1425 provided on the front side of the light guide plate 1423.

The reflector rear 1422 has a plurality of through holes 1422a corresponding to the plurality of LEDs 1421a of the function display board 1421 respectively. When the light from the invisible light LED 1424a of the auxiliary substrate 1424 is incident from the side surface of the light guide plate 1423, at least the portion of the display hole 1425a in front of the reflector 1425 emits light.

The invisible light LED 1424a of the auxiliary substrate 1424 emits either infrared rays or ultraviolet rays as invisible light. The invisible light LED 1424a emits light in a state where the special lottery result or the like is displayed by the plurality of LEDs 1421a, and the invisible light is radiated from the light guide plate 1423. The pre-reflector 1425 has a plurality of display holes 1425a corresponding to the through holes 1422a of the post-reflector 1422. The plurality of through holes 1422a after the reflector and the plurality of display holes 1425a in the front 1425 of the reflector are provided perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1421.

According to this function display unit 1400C, even if the light guide plate 1423 emits invisible light by the invisible light LED 1424a, the player cannot see the invisible light. Therefore, the LED 1421a provided behind the light guide plate 1423. You can see the light of, and you can see the displayed contents in good condition.

On the other hand, when this function display unit 1400C is photographed with a digital camera or the like, if invisible light can be photographed, the light guide plate emitting light by the invisible light makes it appear that all the display holes 1425a are emitting light. , The displayed content can be made unclear, and the same action and effect as described above can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the one provided with the reflector 1403 (1412 after the reflector) and the translucent sheet 1404 (translucent sheet 1413) is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the function display board 1402 (function) is provided. A configuration in which the reflector front 1405 (reflector front 1414) is directly provided on the front surface of the display board 1411) may be provided.

Further, as a configuration that makes it difficult to shoot the display contents in the function display unit by a digital camera or the like, for example, the LEDs may be distributed and displayed in a wider range than the shooting range of the digital camera or the like, and the LED is lit by the player. You may make the LED blink at a speed that makes it look like it is off when you take a picture with a digital camera, etc., or you can turn off the LED that is not related to the display to the player. You may use multiple dummy LEDs that look like they are on or off when you take a picture with a digital camera, or you can place a high-brightness LED near the function display unit. When shooting with a digital camera or the like, halation may be caused so that the displayed contents are not captured.

[17. Second embodiment of mounting a magnetic sensor]
Next, a second embodiment of mounting the magnetic sensor 1050, which is different from the game board 5 and the like, will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 204. FIG. 204 (a) is a cross-sectional view showing a second embodiment of mounting the magnetic sensor, FIG. 204 (b) is an explanatory view showing the mounting of the magnetic sensor of (a) in a perspective view, and FIG. It is an exploded perspective view which shows the attachment of the magnetic sensor by disassembly, and (d) is the exploded perspective view of the attachment of the magnetic sensor which shows by the holding member different from (c).

The second embodiment of mounting the magnetic sensor 1050 is to lock the holding member 1071 which is mounted at a predetermined position of the game board 5 and has a pair of locking portions 1071a consisting of through holes, and the holding member 1071. It has an elastic claw 1072a that is locked to the portion 1071a and includes a holding container 1072 that houses the magnetic sensor 1050. The holding member 1071 is made of synthetic resin. The holding container 1072 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and the magnetic sensor 1050 can be visually recognized from the outside. Further, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072 are formed of a non-magnetic material.

Further, the holding container 1072 has a hole on the surface opposite to the elastic claw 1072a. Through the hole in the holding container 1072, the electric wire from the magnetic sensor 1050 housed in the holding container 1072 can be pulled out to the outside.

According to the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072, since the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072 are made of non-magnetic materials, the holding member 1071 and the like draw magnetic lines of force from the magnet when the magnet is brought close to the game area 5a. It is possible to prevent the magnetism from being brought together, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the lines of magnetic force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050. Therefore, it is possible to easily detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, it is possible to detect the fraudulent activity using the magnet at an early stage, and the fraudulent activity is notified by notifying the detection of the suspicious magnetism by the magnetic sensor 1050. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrent power against fraudulent acts.

Further, by elastically deforming the elastic claw 1072a of the holding container 1072, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily attached to and detached from the holding member 1071, and thus it is made of a magnetic material like a conventional pachinko machine. The magnetic sensor 1050 can be attached by the elastic claw 1072a of the holding container 1072 without using a metal screw, and the labor required for assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be facilitated. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of magnetism.

Further, since the locking portion 1071a penetrating the holding member 1071 is provided, and the elastic claw 1072a of the holding container 1072 is locked to the locking portion 1071a, the magnetic sensor 1050 is attached, so that the magnetic sensor 1050 is attached. The configuration of the holding member 1071 to be attached can be simplified, and the cost of the holding member 1071 can be reduced.

Further, since the elastic claw 1072a of the holding container 1072 is locked to the locking portion 1071a of the holding member 1071, as shown in FIG. 204 (d), a plurality of sets of locking portions are previously attached to the holding member 1071. By providing 1071a and locking the elastic claw 1072a to an arbitrary locking portion 1071a, the position for mounting the magnetic sensor 1050 can be arbitrarily set. Alternatively, the holding member 1071 may be provided with another locking portion 1071a at a position different from the locking portion 1071a in which the elastic claw 1072a is locked. As a result, when it is desired to change the position of the magnetic sensor 1050 or when it is desired to add a magnetic sensor 1050, the holding member 1071 can be dealt with without replacing it with a new one, and the cost can be reduced and the holding member 1071 can be held. The versatility of the member 1071 can be enhanced.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 206 (a) and 206 (b), a decorative body 1804 on which predetermined decorations, characters, etc. are printed and made of a sheet-shaped sticker, and a decorative body 1804 are attached to one side. It includes a first member 1823. The configuration on the other side of the first member 1823 (including the second member) may include any of the above configurations.

The decorative body 1804 is a sticker on which a predetermined pattern, characters, or the like is printed on the surface thereof, and has translucency. The decorative body 1804 has a substantially square outer shape, and chamfered portions 1804a having a predetermined radius are provided at three corners. Since the overall shape of the decorative body 1804 is an overall shape in which it is difficult to specify the orientation, the orientation can be specified by making the shape of one corner different from the shape of the remaining corners. .. Although the chamfered portion 1804a is shown here as an R chamfer, it may be a C chamfer.

Further, the decorative body 1804 is provided on the back surface with a substantially constant width (width within the range of 3 mm to 6 mm) along the outer peripheral edge, and the glue surface 1804b (the portion shown by shading in FIG. 206 (a)). have. The width of the glue surface 1804b is set to an appropriate width according to the size of the decorative body 1804. Limiting the glue surface 1804b to only the outer peripheral edge in this way is particularly a transparent seal (decorative body 1804), and is often used when it is desired to show an illumination or a design surface such as an LED at the rear.

The first member 1823 is one size larger than the decorative body 1804 from one surface of the flat plate portion 1823a and the flat plate portion 1823a, and is deeper than the thickness of the decorative body 1804 (0.4 mm to 1.0 mm). ) It has a mounting recess 1823b that is recessed and to which the decorative body 1804 is attached, and a separation hole 1823c that penetrates the flat plate portion 1823a at the portion of the mounting recess 1823b. The first member 1823 is transparently formed.

The separation hole 1823c is provided at a position close to the corner of the mounting recess 1823b and not covered by the glue surface 1804b when the decorative body 1804 is attached (position inside the glue surface 1804b). As a result, the adhesive surface 1804b is applied to the separation hole 1823c, so that the sticking strength of the decorative body 1804 is prevented from being lowered.

The separation hole 1823c is a round hole. The separation hole 1823c of the present embodiment has an inner diameter in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 1823c is smaller than this, the diameter of the rod-shaped member (tool) for separation inserted into the separation hole 1823c becomes smaller, which makes it easier to bend and may not be able to sufficiently press the decorative body 1804. This is because if the separation hole 1823c is larger than this, bending may occur at the portion of the separation hole 1823c in the decoration body 1804, and the appearance of the decoration body 1804 may be deteriorated.

Further, the first member 1823 is formed at three corners of the mounting recess 1823b, and is provided with a chamfered portion 1823d having a larger (radius) than the chamfered portion 1804a of the decorative body 1804.

The direction of the decorative body 1808 can be specified by the difference in the chamfer shape between the upper side and the lower side. The glue surface of the decorative body 1808 may be provided with a constant width along the outer peripheral edge as in FIG. 206 (a) or the like, or may be provided on the entire surface.

The first member 1827 has a horizontally long rectangular and flat plate-shaped flat plate portion 1827a and a size one size larger than the decorative body 1808 from one surface of the flat plate portion 1827a and deeper than the thickness of the decorative body 1808 (0. (4 mm to 1.0 mm) A mounting recess 1827b that is recessed and to which the decorative body 1808 is attached, a separation hole 1827c that penetrates the flat plate portion 1827a at the site of the mounting recess 1827b, and two lower corners of the mounting recess 1827b. It is provided with an erroneous sticking prevention unit 1827d provided in the unit.

Further, the first member 1827 has a pair of shaft portions 1827e that project in a columnar shape in the left-right direction from the vicinity of the lower ends of the left and right side surfaces of the flat plate portion 1827a. As shown in FIG. 208 (b), the shaft portion 1827e is located on the opposite side of the surface of the mounting recess 1827b. In the first member 1827, a pair of shaft portions 1827e are rotatably supported by a member (not shown). That is, the first member 1827 is movable so as to be rotatable (rotated) around the axis of the pair of shaft portions 1827e. The shaft portion 1827e of the first member 1827 may be integrally molded with the flat plate portion 1827a or the like, may be insert-molded, or may be separately assembled. good.

The separation hole 1827c is a round hole and is provided near the upper corner in the mounting recess 1827b. Since the two separation holes 1827c are provided at positions far from the shaft core of the shaft portion 1827e, the weight of the first member 1827 at a position far from the shaft core of the shaft portion 1827e can be reduced, so that the weight of the first member can be reduced.

Further, since the two separation holes 1827c are provided near the upper left and right corners, the force applied to the left and right shaft portions 1827e can be made uniform, and the first member 1827 is balanced. As a result, uneven wear and the like can be reduced.

The separation hole 1827c of the present embodiment has an inner diameter in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 1827c is smaller than this, the diameter of the rod-shaped member (tool) for separation inserted into the separation hole 1827c becomes smaller, which makes it easier to bend and may not be able to sufficiently press the decorative body 1808. This is because if the separation hole 1827c is larger than this, bending may occur at the portion of the separation hole 1827c in the decorative body 1808, and the appearance of the decorative body 1808 may be deteriorated.

The erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d projects into the mounting recess 1827b in a shape corresponding to the C chamfer at the lower corner of the decorative body 1808. In this embodiment, the diagonal end side of the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d and the lower end side of the mounting recess 1827b are set as a reference surface for sticking the decorative body 1808.

Since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d protrudes into the mounting recess 1827b, the weight of the first member 1827 increases. However, the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d is provided at a position close to the shaft core of the shaft portion 1827e. Therefore, the influence of the rotational moment increased by the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d can be reduced as much as possible, and the increase in the load applied to the rotational drive of the first member 1827 can be suppressed. Further, since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d is provided in each of the two lower corners of the mounting recess 1827b, the first member 1827 can be balanced and the uneven wear of the shaft portion 1827e can be reduced. At the same time, the first member 1827 can be rotated (rotated) in a stable state.

In the first member 1827, it is desirable that the distance from the outer periphery of the flat plate portion 1827a to the mounting recess 1827b is 1 mm or more. This is because if the distance is smaller than this, when the game ball B collides with another member, the outer portion of the mounting recess 1827b is likely to be chipped.

When attaching the decorative body 1808 to the mounting recess 1827b of the first member 1827, first, the C-chamfered corner of the decorative body 1808 is in contact with the contact surface (misattachment prevention portion 1827d) of the mounting recess 1827b.

Then, if an image is taken from the front with a digital camera or the like while the invisible light LED 1424a is being emitted, the invisible light radiated forward from the light guide plate 1423 may be captured depending on the model of the digital camera or the like. By shining brightly, it becomes difficult to capture the light from the plurality of LEDs 1421a provided behind, and it is possible to make it difficult to determine the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs 1421a. It can be embodied.

Further, in the function display unit 1400 or the like, the main control board 1310 may cause the main control board 1310 to blink a plurality of LEDs at a speed at which the player can recognize that the special symbol is lit. As a result, even if the plurality of LEDs of the function display unit 1400 are blinked at a predetermined speed by the main control board 1310, the player seems to be lit, so that the display of the special symbol by the plurality of LEDs is clarified. It can be shown, and the display function of a plurality of LEDs can be fully exhibited. Then, when the LED blinking at a predetermined speed by the main control board 1310 is photographed with a digital camera or the like, the LED appears to be on but off depending on the shutter speed, so that the same situation ( Even if multiple LEDs that appear to be in the state) are photographed, the LEDs may be on or off depending on the timing of the shutter release, making it difficult to determine the light emission status of the multiple LEDs. , The pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-mentioned action and effect can be surely embodied. The predetermined speed at which the LED is blinked by the main control board 1310 is preferably in the range of 30 Hz to 100 Hz, and if the blinking speed is slower than this, the LED does not appear to be lit and the special symbol fluctuates. This is because if the blinking speed is faster than this, the image will be lit when the image is taken.

Further, a high-intensity LED capable of irradiating forward with light having a higher brightness than the LED of the function display unit 1400 or the like may be provided close to the function display unit 1400 or the like. As a result, when a high-brightness LED provided close to the function display unit 1400 or the like is made to emit light, the dynamic range in which the player (human) feels the brightness of the player (human), although the high-brightness LED from the LED feels dazzling. Because the light is dazzling, the light from the LED of the function display unit 1400 etc. can be seen, so that the special symbol displayed on the function display unit 1400 etc. can be recognized, and the function display unit 1400 etc. The display function can be exhibited as well. Then, when the function display unit 1400 or the like is photographed with a digital camera or the like while the high-brightness LED is emitting light, the dynamic range for the brightness of the digital camera or the like is narrower than that of a human being, so that the halation is caused by the light from the high-brightness LED. Is generated, and the vicinity of the LED is blown out, so that a part of the function display unit 1400 or the like cannot be captured. Therefore, it is possible to unclear the light emitting state of a plurality of LEDs in the function display unit 1400 or the like, and it is possible to embody the pachinko machine 1 having the same effect as described above.

Further, by engaging the elastic claw 1072a with the locking portion 1071a of the holding member 1071 in a state where the magnetic sensor 1050 is housed in the holding container 1072 having the elastic claw 1072a, the elastic claw 1072a is engaged with the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072. The magnetic sensor 1050 can be provided on the game board 5. At this time, since the holding member 1060, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072 are made of non-magnetic materials, when the magnet 1055 is brought close to the game area 5a, the holding member 1060 or the like attracts the magnetic field lines from the magnet 1055. It is possible to prevent the magnetism from being lost, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the magnetic field lines passing through the magnetic sensor 1050. Therefore, it is possible to easily detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, it is possible to detect fraudulent activity using the magnet 1055 at an early stage, and it is possible to notify fraudulent activity by notifying the detection of suspicious magnetism by the magnetic sensor 1050. It is possible to discourage an act and provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrent to fraudulent acts.

Further, as described above, the holding member 1060, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072 made of a non-magnetic material prevent the magnetic lines of force from being attracted from the magnet 1055 to prevent the magnetic lines of force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050 from decreasing. Therefore, it is possible to effectively detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a with a smaller number of magnetic sensors 1050 than in the conventional pachinko machine, and the number of magnetic sensors 1050 can be reduced as compared with the conventional one. It is possible to suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, by elastically deforming the elastic claw 1062 of the accommodating portion 1061 and the elastic claw 1072a of the holding container 1072, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily attached to or removed from the holding member 1060 or the locking portion 1071a of the holding member 1071. Therefore, unlike the conventional pachinko machine, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be attached by the elastic claw 1062 or the elastic claw 1072a without using a metal screw made of a magnetic material, and the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled. This time and effort can be facilitated, and an increase in cost for the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Further, the holding member 1071 is provided with a plurality of locking portions 1071a in advance, and the elastic claws 1072a of the holding container 1072 accommodating the magnetic sensor 1050 are locked to the locking portions 1071a at appropriate positions. Can be provided at any position or the position can be easily changed. Therefore, since the position of the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily changed or expanded, the pachinko machine 1 capable of easily responding to a design change or a model change while suppressing an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 is provided. be able to.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is urged into the accommodating portion 1061 by the protrusion 1063 in the holding member 1060, it is possible to suppress the magnetic sensor 1050 from vibrating finely due to the urging by the protrusion 1063. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the connector connected to the magnetic sensor 1050 is disconnected or poor contact occurs, and the magnetic sensor 1050 can be reliably operated.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is visually held by the holding member 1060, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072, and the sensor case 1053 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is transparent, the sensor board 1052 is passed through the transparent sensor case 1053. The mounted sensor body 1051 can be shown to the player. At this time, since the surface of the sensor board 1052 on which the sensor main body 1051 is mounted is white, it is possible to make the sensor main body 1051 having a different color (for example, black) stand out. Therefore, it is possible to make the player strongly recognize that the magnetic sensor 1050 is not a dummy but a real one, and it is illegal for a person who tries to cheat using the magnet 1055 by seeing the magnetic sensor 1050. It is possible to hesitate to execute the act, enhance the deterrence against fraudulent acts, and reduce the burden on the game hall side in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, even if the sensor main body 1051 can be seen through the transparent sensor case 1053, an ordinary player does not pay much attention to the existence of the magnetic sensor 1050, so that he / she does not care. On the other hand, since a person who intends to commit a fraudulent act gazes at the inside of the game area 5a, the contrast between the white sensor substrate 1052 and the black sensor body 1051 makes the magnetic sensor 1050 more visible, which is often the case. I can see it. Therefore, by noticing the existence of the magnetic sensor 1050, it is possible to hesitate to execute fraudulent acts using magnets, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 having high deterrence.

Further, in the magnetic sensor 1050, since the surface of the sensor board 1052 on which the sensor body 1051 is mounted is white, the sensor board 1052 can be made inconspicuous, and the sensor board 1052 is a decorative board on which the LED is mounted. Can be misunderstood. Therefore, even if the sensor board 1052 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is visible, it does not matter to a normal player, and it is possible to prevent the gaming region 5a from becoming unattractive.

Further, since the sensor main body 1051 of the magnetic sensor 1050 can be seen from the outside, it is possible to confirm from the outside whether or not the sensor main body 1051 is damaged, so that the time and effort required for the maintenance of the pachinko machine 1 can be facilitated. This makes it possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is provided on the game board 5 via the holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072, etc., the holding member 1060 and the holding member 1071 are provided on the game board 5. When mounting using a magnetic material such as a screw, the portion of the holding member 1060 or the holding member 1071 to be mounted on the game board 5 is located at a position away from the magnetic sensor 1050 or in the game area 5a. It can be installed at a position outside the magnetic detection range. As a result, the influence of magnetic materials such as screws can be reduced as much as possible, so that the magnetic sensor 1050 can reliably detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, and the magnet 1055 can be used for fraudulent activities. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrent power.

[21. Various control processes on the main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 210 to 215. FIG. 210 is a flowchart showing an example of the main control side power-on processing, FIG. 211 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the main control-side power-on processing of FIG. 210, and FIG. 212 is an example of the main control side timer interrupt processing. 213 is a flowchart showing an example of the setting change processing, FIG. 214 is a flowchart showing an example of the setting value confirmation display processing, and FIG. 215 is a flowchart showing an example of the error display processing. First, various random numbers used for game control will be explained, followed by the operation of the initial value update type counter, the main control side power-on processing, the main control side timer interrupt processing, the setting change processing, the setting value confirmation display processing, and the error. The display process will be described.

[21-1. Various random numbers]
As various random numbers used for game control, a special random number for determining whether to generate a big hit game state or a small hit game state, and an initial value for hit determination to be used for determining the initial value of this special random number. A determined random number, a reach determination random number used to determine whether to generate reach (reach loss) when the jackpot game state is not generated, and a first special symbol display and a second special of the function display unit 1400. A random number for a variable display pattern used to determine a variable display pattern of a special symbol that is variablely displayed on the symbol display, and a first special symbol display and a second special of the function display unit 1400 when a big hit game state is generated. A symbol random number to be used for determining the big hit symbol and the small hit symbol (determination of the hit type) derived and displayed by the symbol display, and a random number for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol to be used for determining the initial value of this symbol random number. Etc. are prepared. Further, in addition to these random numbers, a random number for determining a normal symbol hit to be used for determining whether or not to open / close the second starting port door 2411 capable of inducing the game ball B to the second starting port 2004, and this normal random number. To use for determining the random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal symbol hit to be used for determining the initial value of the random number for determining the symbol hit, and for determining the variable display pattern of the normal symbol that is variablely displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Random numbers for normal symbol variation display patterns are available.

Of the various random numbers used for such game control, the special random numbers are updated by the hardware, while the other various random numbers are updated by the software.

[21-2. Initial value update type counter operation]
For example, the special random number is directly updated by the hardware by the main control built-in hard random number circuit built in the main control MPU 1310a. When the main control MPU1310a is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit first sets a value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value and preliminarily at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU1310a. When other values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another and all the values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again and the main control is performed. Other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed based on the clock signal input to the MPU 1310a. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such a high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU1310a sets the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of acquiring the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a special random number. It is designed to do.

On the other hand, the counter for updating the random number for normal symbol hit determination is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical value range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the range from the minimum value to the maximum value will be described later. Each time the main control side timer interrupt process is performed, the value is incremented by 1 to count up. This counter counts up from the normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number toward the maximum value, and then counts up from the minimum value toward the normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the normal symbol hit determination random number, the normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number is updated. Such a counter update method is called an "initial value update type counter". The normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number can be obtained by executing an initial value lottery process in which one value is drawn from a fixed numerical value range of a counter that updates the normal symbol hit determination random number.

In this embodiment, when the RAM clear switch (RWM switch 633d) of the payout control board 633 is operated when the power is turned on, or in the main control side power-on processing described later, the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is used. The checksum value (sum value) obtained by calculating the total of various stored information as numerical values is the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power cutoff process (power down). When clearing all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area, such as when the sum value does not match, the main control MPU1310a incorporates the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination. An ID code is extracted from the non-volatile RAM, and an initial value derivation process is executed to always derive the same fixed value from the fixed numerical range of the counter that updates the normal symbol hit determination random number based on the extracted ID code. The mechanism is such that the derived fixed value is set. That is, the same fixed value derived based on the ID code is always overwritten and updated in the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination by executing the initial value derivation process. In this way, the value set in the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination is derived using the ID code, and is stored in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU1310a by the manufacturer of the main control MPU1310a. The first security measure that the ID code cannot be rewritten even if an external device is used when the ID code is stored, and the initial value derivation process when clearing all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area. It is prevented from being analyzed by taking a second security measure of deriving the same fixed value based on the ID code and a two-step security measure by the execution.

Here, an advantage of extracting an ID code from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a and using the extracted ID code as an initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination will be described. For example, a person who illegally obtains a game ball to be paid out as a prize ball obtains the game board 5 by some method, disassembles it, and inputs an ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a. Even if it is possible to grasp the timing at which the value of the counter that illegally acquires and updates the random value for normal symbol hit judgment and the normal symbol hit judgment value match, the ID code is unique for identifying the individual. Since the code is attached, the ID code is completely different from the ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a'provided with the other game board 5'. That is, in the other game board 5', the timing at which the value of the counter for updating the random number for normal symbol hit determination and the normal symbol hit determination value match is also completely different from that of the obtained game board 5. In other words, the ID code obtained by disassembling and analyzing the obtained game board 5 is completely useless in another game board 5', that is, another pachinko machine 1', so it was disassembled and analyzed. Even if a momentary power failure is generated at each predetermined interval obtained and the game ball is passed through the gate 2003 at each predetermined interval, the second start opening door 2411 is opened and closed to the second start opening 2004. Cannot generate an inducible state.

[21-3. Main control side power-on processing]
First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU 1310a is configured so that the stack pointer is set at a predetermined address as a default. This stack pointer indicates, for example, the address stacked on the stack for temporarily storing the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or the return address of this routine when the subroutine is terminated and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for temporary storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked.

Under the control of the main control MPU 1310a, as shown in FIGS. 210 and 211, the main control side power-on processing is performed. When the main control side power-on processing is started, the main control MPU 1310a sets the RAM access permission (step S10). By setting this RAM access permission, the main control built-in RAM can be updated.

Following step S10, the main control MPU1310a performs a power failure clearing process (step S12). In this power failure clearing process, a wait timer process is performed to determine whether or not a power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit is input. The voltage does not rise immediately from the time the power is turned on until the specified voltage is reached. On the other hand, in the event of a power failure or momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped), the voltage drops, and when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit as a power failure warning. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage between the time when the power is turned on and the voltage rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit. Therefore, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure warning voltage and stabilizes after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (ms) is set as the waiting time (wait timer). Has been done.

Following step S12, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not the RAM clear switch is being operated (step S14). The RAM clear switch has a function (RAM clear switch, setting changeover button, and error release switch) that has three functions, and here, the information stored in the predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM is completely erased. Acts as a function of the RAM clear switch for. In this determination, the main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM is cleared when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is HI, and determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated, while the RAM When the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the clear switch is LOW, it is determined that the RAM is cleared, and it is determined that the RAM clear switch is operated. Since the time is extremely short within the period from the start of the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, to the determination in step S14, the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is actually pressed. The person who does this turns on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch.

In the determination in step S14, when it is determined that the RAM clear switch is being operated, the main control MPU1310a sets the value 1 in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16A). On the other hand, in the determination in step S14, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated, the value 0 is set in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). That is, the main control MPU 1310a is in a state in which the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the main control built-in RAM) built in the main control MPU 1310a can be executed for a predetermined time from the time when the power is turned on. The RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG described above is stored in the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU1310a, and is stored in the game information related to the game such as probability fluctuation and unpaid prize balls, and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls). It is a flag indicating whether to delete various information including information indicating the value of the information output judgment counter), and is set to a value of 1 when deleting various information and a value of 0 when various information is not deleted. .. The value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG set in steps S16A and S16B is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU1310a.

Following step S16A or step S16B, it is determined whether or not there is an operation of opening the main body frame 4 and turning on the setting key (step S18). In this determination, in the main control MPU 1310a, the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key are inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a. The setting key switch 1311a is set by turning the setting key cylinder 60 degrees clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a) and turning it ON. The key is turned on, and the setting key is turned on from the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key is turned on. Since the time is extremely short within the period from the start of the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, to the determination in step S18, the person who actually turns on the setting key switch 1311a After turning on the setting key switch 1311a, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on.

In the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame release switch 4b, and the setting key switch is determined by the setting key ON signal. When it is determined that the setting key 1311a is ON, the value 1 is set in the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, in the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the main body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b, and / or the signal of the setting key ON. When it is determined that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned on, the value 0 is set in the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20B). The setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the current setting value (setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a) stored in a predetermined area (described later, a setting value dedicated area in a specific area) of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a. Is a flag indicating whether or not to allow the setting change or confirmation display of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time when is turned ON, and the setting change or confirmation of the setting value. The value is set to 1 when the display is permitted, and the value is set to 0 when the setting change of the set value or the confirmation display is not permitted. The value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG set in steps S20A and S20B is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU1310a.

Following step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU1310a performs a wait time standby process (step S22). In this wait time standby process, the system that controls drawing of the peripheral control board 1510 is waiting until it starts (boots). In this embodiment, 2.5 seconds (s) is set as a waiting time (boot timer) until booting. The peripheral control board 1510 is in a state where various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) can be received at the time when the main control MPU 1310a completes the wait time standby process. When the main control MPU 1310a completes the wait time standby process, the payout control board 633 boots in a shorter time than the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, the payout control board 633 is the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a). ) Is ready to receive various commands.

Following step S22, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S24). As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, when the voltage becomes equal to or lower than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit as a power failure warning. The determination in step S24 is performed based on this power failure warning signal. In the determination of step S24, when the main control MPU1310a determines that there is an input of the power failure warning signal, it returns to the determination of step S24 again, and repeats the determination of step S24 as long as the input of the power failure warning signal continues. A detailed description of the point that the determination in step S24 is performed following the wait time waiting process in step S22 will be described later.

In the determination of step S24, when the main control MPU1310a determines that there is no input of the power failure warning signal, whether or not the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1. (Step S25). The main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, so that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied. judge.

In the determination of step S25, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is not a value 1, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is a value 1. In addition, it is determined whether or not the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 0 (step S26). The main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, so that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied. , It is determined that various information will be deleted in the same manner as when the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied.

In the determination of step S26, the main control MPU1310a calculates the checksum when it is determined that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of not 0 (step S29). .. This checksum considers various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values and calculates the total.

Following step S29, in the main control MPU1310a, the calculated checksum value (sum value) is the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power off time processing (power off) described later. It is determined whether or not they match (step S30). In step S30, when the main control MPU1310a determines that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S32). The backup flag BK-FLG stores various information, checksum value (sum value), game backup information such as the backup flag BK-FLG value, etc. in the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power cutoff process described later. It is a flag indicating whether or not the power is turned off, and is set to a value of 1 when the main control side power cutoff process is normally completed and a value of 0 when the main control side power cutoff process is not normally completed. In the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, the checksum of step S29 is calculated and the determination of step S30 is performed when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection. , Will be described in detail later.

In the determination of step S30, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or in the determination of step S32, the backup flag BK-FLG of the main control MPU1310a is not a value 1. When (value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the processing for power off on the main control side has not been normally completed, an error display processing is performed (step S33), and an infinite loop is entered. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process is completed is maintained, the game cannot proceed at all, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the power is turned on again. A detailed explanation of this error display processing will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power off processing has not been completed normally when the power is turned off. If it is determined, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is regarded as abnormal (or unreliable), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the alphabet E as an error display on the setting display 1310g.

The power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key cylinder is set from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). This routine is performed again by turning on the pachinko machine 1 while operating the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633 after turning it 60 degrees clockwise to turn it on. The processing when the main control side power is turned on is started. The main control MPU1310a determines that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is being operated in the determination in step S14 described above, and sets the value 1 in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A described above. In the determination in step S18 described above, it is determined that the main body frame 4 is open to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b, and the setting key switch 1311a is determined by the setting key ON signal. Since it is determined that the setting key is ON and the value 1 is set in the setting key ON flag CS-FLG in the above-mentioned step S20A, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to the value 1 in the above-mentioned determination in step S25. Moreover, assuming that the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, it is determined that the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied, and the step described later is followed by the setting change process in step S37 described later. In the process of S38, the RAM error can be cleared and the game can proceed by clearing all the areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area (hereinafter, "first RAM error"). How to cancel ").

As a method different from this first RAM error clearing method, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the setting key cylinder remains in the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633, the main control side power-on processing of this routine is started again. The main control MPU1310a determines that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is being operated in the determination in step S14 described above, and sets the value 1 in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A described above. On the other hand, in step S18 described above, it is determined that the main body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b, and / or the setting key switch is determined by the setting key ON signal. Since it is determined that the setting key 1311a is not turned on and the value 0 is set in the setting key ON flag CS-FLG in the above-mentioned step S20B, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set in the above-mentioned determination in step S26. Assuming that the value is 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the value 0, that is, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied, but the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied. It is determined that various information will be erased, and in the process of step S38 described later, the RAM error can be canceled and the game can proceed by clearing all the areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area. (Hereinafter, it will be described as "second RAM error clearing method").

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination in step S30, or in the determination in step S32, the main control MPU 1310a determines. When the backup flag BK-FLG is not a value 1 (value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the processing for power off on the main control side has not been normally completed, the error display in step S33 is performed and the main control built-in RAM is displayed. When telling that the content stored in is abnormal (or unreliable), there are two cancellation methods, the first RAM error cancellation method and the second RAM error cancellation method. Can be done by. As a result, when it is not necessary to change the setting of the set value at all, the RAM error can be canceled by performing the second RAM error clearing method by the RAM clear switch.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S32, when the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power cutoff process has been normally completed, the main control MPU1310a has a built-in main control as a power recovery time. The work area of the RAM is set (step S34). In this setting, the power recovery information is read from the ROM (that is, the main control built-in ROM) built in the main control MPU 1310a, and the power recovery information is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, various information is read from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the various information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, the main control MPU 1310a advances the game based on the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition to the state where the power is turned on from the state where the power is cut off, the "reset" is the state where the power is restored after the power failure or momentary power failure, and the fraudulent means (for example, the cheating person is on the hem of the arm). The state in which the main control board 1310 is irradiated with the high frequency from the hidden high frequency output device) and the main control MPU 1310a itself is reset and then restored is also included.

Following step S34, the main control MPU1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to a value of 0 (step S36). As a result, various information, checksum value (sum value), etc. are changed by performing various subsequent processes. Therefore, the backup flag BK-is normally terminated when the main control side power is turned off, which will be described later. If the value 1 is not set in the FLG, as will be described later, all the areas of the main control built-in RAM except the specific area will be cleared.

Following the determination in step S36, the main control MPU1310a determines whether the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1 (step S27). The main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, so that the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied. judge.

In the determination in step S27, the main control MPU1310a is assumed that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, and a predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied. When it is determined that there is, the set value confirmation display process is performed (step S28). In this set value confirmation display process, a detailed description thereof will be described later, but the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is displayed on the setting display 1310 g.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S25, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, that is, a predetermined setting value change. When it is determined that the permission condition is satisfied, the setting change process is performed (step S37). This setting change process, which will be described in detail later, is performed based on the signal from the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633. As described above, the RAM clear switch has a function (RAM clear switch, setting changeover button, and error release switch) that has three functions, and here, a setting changeover button for selecting and switching a set value. Works as a function of. Every time the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is operated, a signal to that effect (setting value selection switching signal) is input, the set value is changed and displayed on the setting display 1310g, and the setting key switch 1311a The changed setting value is determined based on the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a when the setting key cylinder is operated from ON to OFF, and is stored in a predetermined area of RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a.

In the process of step S37 or the determination of step S26, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, that is, it is predetermined. When it is determined that various information will be deleted in the same way as when the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied, the specified area is excluded from the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. And clear (step S38). Here, the main control MPU 1310a is performed by writing a value 0 to a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM (an area excluding a specific area among all the areas of the main control built-in RAM). In the present embodiment, when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined that various information is to be erased, and when the setting change process is completed, the main control built-in RAM is always used. Except for a specific area among all the areas of the main control built-in RAM (a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM (an area excluding the specific area of the total area of the main control built-in RAM)) is cleared. Here, the "specific area" is an area dedicated to the set value in which the set value is stored, and an out port 1008, a first sub-out port 2021, and a second sub-out port provided in the game area 5a partitioned on the game board 5. It is composed of an out-ball counting dedicated area in which the counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by 2022 is stored. The set value dedicated area stores the set value whose setting is changed in the setting change process described later, and the out ball counting area is the out port 1008, the first sub out port 2021 and the first sub out port 2021 counted in the ball number counting process described later. (2) The counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by the sub-out port 2022 is stored.

The main control MPU 1310a may read a predetermined value from the main control built-in ROM as an initial value and set it. Further, the main control MPU 1310a has a sum when the logic of the signal (RAM clear signal) indicating that the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633 is operated indicates RAM clear and various information is erased. When the values do not match, or when the main control side power off processing is not completed normally, the unique ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU1310a is taken out, and the taken out ID code is taken out. The initial value derivation process that always derives the same fixed value from the fixed numerical value range of the counter that updates the random number for normal symbol hit judgment based on is performed, and this fixed value is used as the initial value of the above-mentioned normal symbol hit judgment random number. Set to the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit judgment to be used for determination.

Following step S38, the main control MPU 1310a sets the work area of the main control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S40). This setting is performed by reading the initial information from the main control built-in ROM and setting this initial information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, the game backup information is initialized, and for example, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter is set (set) to the initial value 0. Further, the main control MPU 1310a advances the game based on the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following steps S36, S28 or S40, the main control MPU 1310a sets the initial value and the start setting of the main control built-in WDT (step S41). Here, the watchdog timer control register built in the main control MPU 1310a (hereinafter, "" It is described as "WDT control register"), the timer set value is set, the main control built-in WDT is started, and the time counting until the main control MPU 1310a is reset is started. When the main control built-in WDT is started, the time counting by the main control built-in WDT is started, and the watchdog timer clear register built in the main control MPU1310a is reached by the time when the timed time reaches the time set by the timer set value. Hereinafter, if the timer clear setting value is not set in the “WDT clear register”), the main control MPU1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. On the other hand, when the WDT with built-in main control is started and the time is started, if the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register before the time is reached by the time set by the timer setting value, the timer clear setting value is set. The timekeeping by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the timekeeping is started again. In this way, the operation (system) of the main control MPU1310a operates normally by repeating the process of clearing the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT until the time set by the timer set value is reached and starting the time measurement again. It is possible to monitor whether or not it is.

Following step S41, the main control MPU1310a performs interrupt initial setting (step S42). This setting sets the interrupt cycle when the main control side timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 4 milliseconds (ms).

Following step S42, the main control MPU1310a performs serial communication initial setting (step S44). Here, various serial input / output ports built in the main control MPU 1310a (for example, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel) for the payout control board 633, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel) for the peripheral control board 1510). ), The communication speed is set and the presence / absence of parity is set in the transmission serial port prescaler, and the initialization of the transmission circuit and the transmission permission are set in the transmission serial port control register.

Following step S44, the main control MPU1310a sets the test signal output port initialization (step S46). Here, in a gaming machine test institution, a test signal output port (not shown) for outputting various inspection information is initialized (set to OFF data output) when the power is turned on.

Following step S46, the main control MPU1310a sets the activation of the main control built-in hard random number circuit (step S48). Here, among various random numbers related to the game, a special random number used for determining whether or not to generate a big hit game state is input to the hard random number control register built in the main control MPU1310a in order to be updated by the hardware. In addition to making settings such as latching and acquiring, the startup of the main control built-in hard random number circuit is set in the hard random number setting register. When the main control built-in hard random number circuit is activated by these settings, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a without duplication, and are predetermined. When all the values in the numerical range have been extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the numerical range predetermined at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU1310a. Extract other values in one after another without duplication. When the main control MPU1310a acquires a random number (random number value) from the main control built-in hard random number circuit, it outputs a latch signal to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the main control built-in hardware when this latch signal is input. The random number (random number value) extracted by the random number circuit is acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU1310a. The main control MPU 1310a sets the acquired random number value as a special random number.

Following step S48, the main control MPU1310a sets a reservation for a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on (step S50). Here, in order to convey that the power has been turned on (recovered) based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on. The transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is created as the transmission information by creating the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball count information output judgment counter notification command. Remember in. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, various information may be read from the game backup information and various commands corresponding to the various information may be stored. be. In such a case, first of all the various information, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information The output judgment counter notification command will be sent. These commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later. A detailed description of the fact that the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is set in step S50 will be described later.

Following step S50, the main control MPU1310a sets the interrupt enable setting (step S52). With this setting, the interrupt cycle set in step S42, that is, the main control side timer interrupt process described later is repeatedly performed every 4 ms.

Following step S52, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S54). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage falls below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit to the main control MPU1310a as a power failure warning. To. The determination in step S54 is performed based on this power failure warning signal.

In the determination in step S54, when the main control MPU1310a determines that there is no input of the power failure warning signal, the non-winning random number update process is performed (step S56). In this non-winning random number update process, the above-mentioned random number for reach determination, random number for variable display pattern, random number for determining initial value for big hit symbol, random number for determining initial value for small hit symbol, and the like are updated. In this way, in the non-winning random number update process, the random numbers that are not related to the winning determination (big hit determination) are updated by the software. The above-mentioned random number for determining normal symbol hit, random number for determining initial value for determining normal symbol, random number for normal symbol variation display pattern, and the like are also updated by this non-winning random number update process.

Following step S56, the process returns to step S54 again, and the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not there is a power failure warning signal input. If this power failure warning signal is not input, the non-winning random number update process is performed in step S56. Then, steps S54 to S56 are repeated. The processes of steps S54 to S56 are referred to as "main control side main process".

On the other hand, in the determination in step S54, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input, the main control MPU1310a sets the interrupt prohibition setting (step S58). By this setting, the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later, is not performed, writing to the main control built-in RAM is prevented, and the above-mentioned rewriting of various information including game information and other information is protected.

Following step S58, the main control MPU1310a starts outputting a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same process as the process in which the output of the power failure clear signal is started is performed in the power failure clear process in step S12.

Following step S60, the main control MPU 1310a outputs to, for example, various indicators of the function display unit 1400, a start port solenoid 2412, an attacker solenoid 2414, a bonus winning port solenoid 2612, a V distribution solenoid 3007, a special monitor, and the like. The driving signal is stopped (step S62).

Following step S62, the main control MPU1310a calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S64). This checksum calculates the total of the game information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM, excluding the storage area of the checksum value (sum value) and the backup flag BK-FLG value described above, as numerical values.

Following step S64, the main control MPU1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to a value of 1 (step S66). This completes the storage of the game backup information.

Following step S66, the main control MPU1310a sets RAM access prohibition (step S68). This RAM access prohibition setting makes it impossible to access the main control built-in RAM, so that it is possible to prevent the contents of the main control built-in RAM from being updated.

Following step S68, an infinite loop is entered. In this infinite loop, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT started in step S41, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the time measurement is started again. The main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. After that, the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power-on processing again. The process of steps S58 to S68 and the infinite loop are referred to as "main control side power cutoff process".

As described above, the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit when it is affected by electrical noise. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a cannot perform the determination in step S54, and cannot perform the main control side power supply cutoff process. Therefore, when the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, it is reset without executing the main control side power off processing, and the main control side power on processing is executed again. .. In other words, the checksum value (sum value) in the main control side power off processing based immediately before the forced reset by the built-in reset circuit is not executed because the main control side power off processing is not executed, so the previous time. The checksum value (sum value) stored by executing the power cutoff process on the main control side when the power is cut off, and the checksum calculated in step S28 when the system is restarted after being forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit. The value (sum value) cannot match, and a checksum (sum value) error of the main control built-in RAM always occurs, and in the process of step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area are excluded. It will be completely erased (cleared).

The pachinko machine 1 (main control MPU1310a) is reset when there is a power failure or when there is a momentary power failure, and when the power is restored thereafter, the main control side power-on processing is performed.

In step S30, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM is normal, and then in step S32, whether or not the main control side power cutoff process is normally completed. Is inspecting. In this way, by double-checking the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information is stored by fraudulent activity.

Further, in the determination of step S25, when the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when the setting change of the set value is permitted, the setting change process of step S37 is performed. In the process of step S38, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area, and in the determination of step S26, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1). At that time, that is, when it is determined that various information is to be erased, in the process of step S38, all the areas of the main control built-in RAM are completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area. In this way, when the pressing operation unit is operated at the time of power recovery (to be exact, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch), the set value is changed and determined. When the setting can be changed (when the main control MPU 1310a performs the setting change processing), the main control MPU 1310a always clears the predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM. This is because when the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch is pressed, for example, when the game hall is closed, the pachinko machine 1 is in an advantageous state for the player (for example, a probability fluctuation (probability change)). In the case of (such as), it is necessary to erase (clear) the above-mentioned game backup information before the next business start, so the staff such as the clerk of the game hall presses the RAM clear switch. It is necessary to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the operation unit. In addition, when the setting value is decided to be changed, if the setting change processing is performed (even if the current setting value is maintained as a result, the setting value before the setting change processing is performed is obtained. It is necessary to erase (clear) the game backup information including various information such as the game information from the main control built-in RAM. As described above, the setting key is currently set in addition to changing the set value. Since it is an important key that can confirm the set value, only a limited number of people including the manager of the game hall are allowed to possess it, and it is limited to 2 to 3 people. In this embodiment, the set value is set. Even if the change is not decided, that is, even if there is no setting key possessed only by a limited specific person, the clerk of the game hall or the like can delete (clear) the game backup information in the RAM. By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the clear switch, the game backup information can be erased (cleared) from the main control built-in RAM.

Here, it will be described that the presence / absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is determined following the wait time standby process in step S22. First, regarding the problem in the case where the presence / absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is not determined, that is, the case where the value of the RAM clear flag in step S26 is determined after the wait time standby process in step S22 and the subsequent process is proceeded. The problem in is explained.

As described above, in the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, the electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is charged when the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a power failure or a momentary power failure. It is applied as + 5V over a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the occurrence of a power failure or momentary power failure. That is, even if the power supply from the island equipment of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure, the electric charge charged to the hardware called the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as + 5V, so that the island equipment of the game hall is equipped. It is possible to complete the power cutoff process on the main control side within a period of about 7 ms after the power is cut off from the main control side. This is because a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs when the player is playing a game, that is, when the main control side main process or the main control side timer interrupt process described later is performed, and the island equipment of the game hall When the power supply from the main control side is cut off, the main control side power supply cutoff process can be reliably completed.

However, as an extremely rare phenomenon, in the wait time standby process of step S22 at the time of power recovery, the waiting time until the system that controls the drawing of the peripheral control board 1510 starts (boots) (boot timer: in this embodiment). 2.5 seconds is set.) If a momentary power failure or power failure occurs just before the standby time is reached, a hardware called electrolytic capacitor MC2 is connected to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU1310a. Although the charged charge is applied as + 5V, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42 within a period of about 7 ms, and then the interrupt permission setting is performed in step S52, whereby the main control side timer described later is set. Even if the interrupt processing is performed and the contents of the main control built-in RAM are updated, the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing may not be completed. Therefore, the value obtained by calculating the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is not stored, and the main control side power-on processing is started again at the time of power recovery.

Then, at the time of this power recovery, the main control side power-on processing is started, the wait time standby processing in step S22 is completed without the occurrence of a momentary power failure or a power failure, and then the main control built-in RAM is completed in step S28. When the value calculated based on the contents of the above and the value stored in the main control built-in RAM immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs are compared and judged in step S30, the checksum values should match. Instead, in step S38, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared except for a specific area. In other words, the RAM clear switch is forcibly stored in the main control built-in RAM even if the RAM clear switch is operated by a staff member such as a game hall clerk at the time of power recovery and there is no intention indication by the game hall clerk staff member such as RAM clear. There is a problem that the above-mentioned game backup information is deleted (cleared).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input, the process is provided. The determination in step S24 is returned again, and the determination in step S24 is repeated as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input. This makes it impossible to proceed with the game. Although the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set in step S16A or step S16B before the wait time standby process of step S22 is performed, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is mainly set as described above. Since it is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU 1310a, the contents (game information) of the main control built-in RAM are not changed at all even if the RAM access permission is set in step S10.

In this way, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input (that is, step). When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process in S22), the determination in step S24 is returned again and as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input. By repeating the determination in step S24, the game cannot be progressed, and various information including game information and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter). Can be prevented from being updated, and the checksum calculation result does not fluctuate. As a result, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is restarted, it is determined that the calculation result of the checksum in step S28 and the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64 match. Therefore, there is no need to initialize the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure that is stored and held in the main control built-in RAM. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game information immediately before the occurrence of a momentary power failure or a power failure from being initialized at the time of power recovery.

Further, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is not input (that is, in step S22). When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is not cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process), the pachinko machine is being played while the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is proceeding with the game. Even if the power supply to 1 is cut off, the game information and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls) due to the progress of this game can be obtained by supplying power to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU1310a, by the electrolytic capacitor MC2. The main control board performs the processing of steps S58 to S68, which is the backup processing for storing various information including information indicating the value of the information output determination counter, and the main control side power cutoff processing composed of an infinite loop. Since the main control MPU 1310a of the 1310 can be completed, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control MPU 1310a is restarted, the checksum calculation result of step S28 and the checksum calculation in the backup process are performed. Since it is determined that the result (that is, the value calculated and stored in the checksum of step S64) matches, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure that is stored in the main control built-in RAM is stored. Never initializes. That is, the main control board 1310 can be started by being restored to the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or the power failure occurs.

Further, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure warning signal is input, the main control built-in RAM is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT to reset the contents of the main control built-in RAM. While the main control side power cutoff processing can be started again without updating at all, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure warning signal has not been input immediately after the wait time standby processing in step S22, until now. As you can see, it is possible to reliably complete the power cutoff process on the main control side within the "power supply securing period in the event of a momentary power failure or power failure" of about 7 ms by the hardware. That is, in the present embodiment, the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure while the main control side power-on processing is being performed at the time of power recovery, and the main control is performed. The charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the MPU 1310a, as + 5V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs. Therefore, if the main control side power cutoff process cannot be completed within the "instantaneous power failure or power supply securing period" of about 7 ms by the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2, the step immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22. It is determined in S24 whether or not the power failure warning signal is input, and when the power failure warning signal is input, the determination in step S24 is returned again, and as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input, the determination in step S24 is performed. By repeating the game, the game cannot be progressed.

By preventing the progress of the game by such software, the steps after step S24 (specifically, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42, and then the interrupt enable is enabled in step S52. By blocking the progress to the main control side timer interrupt process that is set and described later, the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output determination)) We have adopted a mechanism that can prevent various information) including information indicating the value of the counter (such as information) from being updated. When the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a power failure or a momentary power failure in this way, the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output determination)) Various information including information indicating the value of the counter) is covered by software so that it will not be changed at all, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and game information) by surely completing the power outage processing on the main control side. By configuring it in two parts, a part covered by hardware so that other information (for example, various information including information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter) is not changed at all). , The contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information, and various information including other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter)) are surely prevented from being changed. Can be done.

Next, the point that the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is set in step S50 will be described. In step S50, as described above, in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on (recovery) based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. In order to convey, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information output determination counter notification command are created and the main control is built-in as transmission information. Stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM. This power-on main control return destination command is mainly composed of information indicating the drive state of the start port solenoid 2412 and information indicating the drive state of the attacker solenoid 2414. Here, first, the problem when the main control return destination command at power-on does not include the information indicating the drive state of the start port solenoid 2412 and the information indicating the drive state of the attacker solenoid 2414, that is, the problem. , The problem in the case where the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of turning on the power of the main control return destination command at the time of turning on the power is not performed in step S50 will be described.

For example, when the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the screen of the jackpot game state (for example, the screen of the jackpot game effect) in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310 drives the attacker solenoid 2414. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the large winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 is mainly controlled in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the built-in RAM, the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven and the grand prize opening 2005 is opened and closed by restoring the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. It will shift from the closed state to the open state by the member.

However, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers at the time of power recovery, so that a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. However, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs while the main control board 1310 is generating a jackpot gaming state as a gaming state, and then power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 will be subjected to the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if the screen can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and returned according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from, the jackpot game state. It is not possible to display at all which round of the throat. That is, for example, a game ball enters the large winning opening 2005 and is detected by the large winning opening sensor 2402, and a large winning opening 1 count display command that conveys the number of game balls entered in the large winning opening 2005 is used as the main control board. Even if the peripheral control board 1510 transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 and receives it, the peripheral control board 1510 produces the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening 2005 on the screen according to the probability and the time saving state. Even if it can be displayed in the display area of the display device 1600, it is not possible to display at all which round (that is, the number of rounds) of the jackpot game state.

In such a situation, for example, when the main control board 1310 finishes the fourth round (fourth round) in the big hit game state, the drive of the attacker solenoid 2414 is stopped and the big winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member. Peripheral control of the large winning opening 1 closing display command instructing the transition from the present state to the closed state (that is, the closing start between the rounds of the large winning opening 2005 of the first attacker unit 2400). When transmitting to the board 1510 and the main control board 1310 starts the 5th round (fifth round) of the big hit game state, the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven and the big winning opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member. A command to display the 5th round of the opening of the large winning opening is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 instructing the transition to the open state (that is, the opening of the 5th round of the large winning opening 2005). .. As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 finally switches the screen of starting 5 rounds of the big hit game state from the screen corresponding to the above-mentioned probability and time saving state and displays it in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

Further, for example, a screen (for example, the second starting port door 2411 is open) telling the second starting port 2004 that the game state is such that the game ball can be accepted and the gaming state is advantageous to the player. The main control board 1310 drives the start port solenoid 2412 to press the second start port door 2411 while the peripheral control board 1510 displays and controls the screen to inform the player to the effect in the display area of the effect display device 1600. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the game ball B is in a state where it can be guided to the second starting port 2004 by opening the operation, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 controls the main control in step S34. In the setting of the work area of the built-in RAM, based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM, the starting port solenoid 2412 is restored to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. The drive is started to close the second start port door 2411, and the state shifts to the state where the second start port 2004 is closed.

However, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers at the time of power recovery, so that a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. However, when the main control board 1310 is in a gaming state in which the gaming ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004 as a gaming state and a gaming state advantageous to the player is generated, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 displays a screen according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if it can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and returned, the game state is such that the game ball can be accepted to the second starting port 2004, and the game state is advantageous to the player. The peripheral control board 1510 cannot display the screen to be transmitted in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at all. For this reason, the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine is surprised that a momentary power failure or power failure has occurred, and the game ball is received at the second starting port 2004 immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs at the time of power restoration. In some cases, it may be forgotten that the gaming state is possible, and in such a case, the gaming state is returned to the gaming state in which the gaming ball can be accepted to the second starting port 2004 as the gaming state at the time of power recovery. Nevertheless, the game is not displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at the time of power recovery (that is, the screen instructing the game to enter the game ball into the second starting port 2004). There was also the problem of not knowing what kind of game a person would play.

As described above, in the above-mentioned two examples, there is a problem that the gaming state immediately before a momentary power failure or a power failure cannot be quickly restored after the power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of a pachinko machine misunderstands that the pachinko machine's system seems to be in a frozen state and has failed when a momentary power failure or power outage occurs and then the power is restored. There was a problem.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure), a power-on state command is used. And the power-on main control return destination command to the peripheral control board 1510, in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on time. A counter notification command for determining the output of the main prize ball number information is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, these commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later.

As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 is based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command received from the main control board 1310, for example, in the above-mentioned example, in the four rounds of the jackpot gaming state. When a momentary power failure or power failure occurs and the power is restored after that, the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven as the return destination of the main control board 1310, and the large winning opening 2005 is released from the state of being closed by the opening / closing member. Since it is possible to inform the peripheral control board 1510 that the state is to be changed, the peripheral control board 1510 is a screen that specifies that it is the 4th round of the jackpot game state (that is, a screen showing how many rounds it is). Can not be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, but a screen telling that the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven in the big hit game state and the big winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member. (For example, a screen that conveys to the player the message "It's a big hit. The big winning opening is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the big winning opening.") It is possible to instruct a player who is displayed in the display area and sits on the front of the pachinko machine to enter the game ball into the large winning opening 2005 after the power is restored. (Ii) In a state where the game ball can be accepted into the starting port 2004 and the game state is favorable to the player, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 As a return destination, a screen telling that the game ball B can be guided to the second start port 2004 by starting the drive of the start port solenoid 2412 and opening the second start port door 2411 (for example,). The peripheral control board 1510 displays a screen that conveys the message "The second start door 2411 is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the second start door.") It is possible to instruct a player who sits in front of the pachinko machine by displaying it in the display area of 1600 to enter the game ball into the second starting port 2004 after the power is restored.

As a result, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power is restored thereafter, the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 can be finely instructed on the main control board 1310 side. Therefore, it is possible to quickly return to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after the power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of a pachinko machine misunderstands that the pachinko machine's system seems to be in a frozen state and has failed when a momentary power failure or power outage occurs and then the power is restored. It can be prevented.

Next, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, the checksum of step S28 when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection. The calculation and the determination in step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, the main control board is composed of the above-mentioned backup processes, steps S58 to S68, and an infinite loop. Since the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has never executed the control side power cutoff process, even if the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is calculated in step S28, in step S30. In the comparison determination, the checksum values cannot match, and the checksum values are always cleared in step S38 except for a specific area among all the areas of the main control built-in RAM.

As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on is made in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information By creating an output judgment counter notification command and storing it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, a power-on state command, a power-on main control return destination command, and a power-on main prize ball Only three commands, the counter notification command for determining the number information output, are stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. Then, in these commands, in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later, the power-on state command is first transmitted, then the power-on main control return destination command is transmitted, and then the number of main prize balls at power-on. The information output judgment counter notification command is sent. Utilizing this, in the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, the power-on state command is issued as the first command from the main control board 1310. It will be transmitted to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process.

By the way, the power-on state command is used when the power is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure), the RAM clear switch is operated and the RAM is executed. Information instructing that when clearing, and the above-mentioned low when the power is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure). Information indicating which of the probabilistic time-saving state, high-probability time-saving state, low-probability non-time-saving state, and high-probability non-time-saving state (probability and time-saving state) is to be restored, and the model code of the pachinko machine are shown. It consists of information and. Here, a problem will be described when the power-on state command does not include information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine.

The model code of the pachinko machine is the copyright of which work when creating the so-called max type, middle type, and amadeji type as the pachinko machine 1 (to be exact, the main control board 1310). In addition to the game specifications (for example, when a probability change occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs), the number of times the special symbol changes is limited (for example, 30 times or 70 times). It is possible to specify whether or not the game specification (so-called ST machine), etc., in which the probability fluctuation occurs in the state of)).

In the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured, the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works may coexist. Then, the worker of the production line is responsible for the copyright of any of the copyrights of the multiple types of works (for example, the copyrights of the works A, Movie B, Drama C, Movie D, Manga E, and Manga F). It is difficult to know whether the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line in order to manufacture the control board 1310, or the main control board for one copyright (for example, the copyright of the work called movie D) among the copyrights of multiple types of works. Although the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line to manufacture the 1310, the main control board 1310 is used to manufacture the main control board 1310 for other copyrights (for example, the copyright of the work called Manga F). There are also beliefs and misunderstandings that it is flowing to the production line.

For this reason, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the worker of the manufacturing line is on the manufacturing line. It is not possible to confirm which work the manufactured main control board 1310 is for the copyright of which work, and for the copyright of the same work, any model type (max type, middle type, or Amadeji type). It is also not possible to confirm whether it is a type) and what kind of game specification (a game specification or ST machine that, when a probability fluctuation occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs).

As a result, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured on the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed. The 1310 will be sent to the game board assembly line for mounting the main control board 1310 on the game board 5 with the 1310 mixed. Therefore, the worker of the game board assembly line may attach the main control board 1310, which does not correspond to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work, to the game board 5. As a result, there is a problem that the production efficiency of the game board 5 is lowered.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the model code of the pachinko machine is used when the main control board 1310 is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure). In order to transmit the power-on state command including the information indicating the power-on to the peripheral control board 1510, in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on A counter notification command for determining the output of the main prize ball number information is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, these commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later.

As a result, the operator of the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1 turns on the main control board 1310 in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line, so that the inspection device becomes the main control board 1310. Based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from, that is, the above-mentioned max type, middle type, indicating the model type, which constitutes the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine. And a series code for specifying which type of Amadeji type, a copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and a game specification (for example, when a probability fluctuation occurs, the next big hit game state will be In addition to the game specification that the state is continued until it occurs, the game specification code for specifying the game specification (ST machine) that the probability fluctuation occurs when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is limited, and the game specification code. By visually observing the detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor based on the above, it is possible to determine which work the main control board 1310 is for the copyright of which work, and which of the same work is for the copyright. What type of machine (max type, middle type, and Amadeji type), and what kind of game specifications (when probability fluctuations occur, that state will continue until the next big hit game state occurs. It is also possible to determine whether it is a game specification or ST machine).

As a result, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board inspection process of the manufacturing line is performed. By visually observing the inspection monitor and accurately determining the model type of the main control board 1310, the copyright of the work, and the game specifications, the worker can sort each of the main control boards 1310 for the copyright of the work and succeed. It can be sent to the game board assembly line. Then, the worker of the game board assembly line can surely attach the main control board 1310 corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work to the game board 5, and the main control board not corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the production efficiency of the game board 5 caused by the work of attaching the 1310 to the game board 5. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5.

[21-4. Main control side timer interrupt processing]
Next, the timer interrupt processing on the main control side will be described. This main control side timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (4 ms in this embodiment) set in the main control side power-on time process shown in FIGS. 210 and 211.

When the main control side timer interrupt process is started, the main control MPU 1310a switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 212 (step S100). The general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a has two register banks composed of a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main processing in the main control side power-on processing described above, while the second register bank is used in the main control side timer interrupt processing which is this routine. In step S100, since the second register bank is used in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which is the routine, the second register bank from the first register bank used in the main control main process in the power-on process on the main control side is used. Switch the register bank to the register tank of. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to save each register on the stack when the main control side timer interrupt process, which is the routine, is started.

Following step S100, the main control MPU1310a performs a timer subtraction process (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, the time during which the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 are lit according to the fluctuation display pattern determined by the special symbol and the special electric accessory control process described later. In addition to the time when the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is lit according to the normal symbol variation display pattern determined by the normal symbol and the normal electric accessory control process described later, the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) transmits. When determining whether or not a payer ACK signal indicating that the payout control board 633 has normally received various commands is input, time management such as the ACK signal input determination time set as the determination condition is performed. .. Specifically, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 4 ms, so that the fluctuation time is subtracted by 4 ms each time the timer subtraction process is performed. Then, when the subtraction result becomes a value of 0, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is accurately measured.

In this embodiment, the ACK signal input determination time is set to 100 ms. Each time this timer subtraction process is performed, the ACK signal input determination time is subtracted by 4 ms, and the subtraction result becomes a value of 0, so that the ACK signal input determination time is accurately measured. These various times and the ACK signal input determination time are stored in the time management information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as time management information.

Following step S102, the main control MPU1310a performs a switch input process (step S104). In this switch input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Specifically, the main control MPU 1310a is, for example, a detection signal from the gate sensor 2801, a detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, a detection signal from the first start opening sensor 3002, and a detection from the second start opening sensor 2401. Signal, detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2402, detection signal from the out sensor 664, detection signal from the first ball sensor 703, and second ball sensor 704, detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050, from the RAM clear switch. Operation signal (RAM clear signal), detection signal from door frame opening switch, detection signal from main body frame opening switch 4b, signal from setting key switch 1311a, signal from setting switching button, transmission by prize ball control processing described later The payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that conveys that the payout control board 633 has normally received the prize ball command is read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, when the detection signal from the first start port sensor 3002 and the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2401 are read, the start port winning command corresponding to the other is used as transmission information in the main control built-in RAM. Stored in the transmission information storage area. That is, when there is a detection signal from the first start port sensor 3002, the corresponding start port winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and is stored from the second start port sensor 2401. When there is a detection signal of, the corresponding start opening winning command is stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information.

In this embodiment, when the switch input processing is started in the state where all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are input (including the one to which the empty terminal processing is performed). First, each is read as the first time, and after a predetermined time (for example, 10 μs) has elapsed, each is read again as the second time. Then, the result read for the second time and the result read for the first time are compared. It is determined whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the third time, and the result read in the third time is compared with the result read in the second time. It is determined again whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the fourth time, and the result read in the fourth time is compared with the result read in the third time. It is determined again whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is the same, it is treated as if there is no entry of the game ball or if the input is ignored.

In this way, in the switch input processing, the state of being input to all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a (including the one to which the empty terminal processing is performed) is set for the first to third times. It is possible to avoid erroneous detection due to the influence of chattering, noise, etc. by performing two readings in total, two readings for comparison and two readings for comparison over the second to fourth times. Because it is possible, the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801, the detection signal from the general winning port sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first starting port sensor 3002, the detection signal from the second starting port sensor 2401, the big prize. Detection signal from mouth sensor 2402, out sensor 664, detection signal from first ball sensor 703, and second ball sensor 704, detection signal from magnetic sensor 1050, operation signal from RAM clear switch (RAM clear signal), A detection signal from the door frame opening switch, a detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b, a signal from the setting key switch 1311a, a signal from the setting switching button, and a prize ball command transmitted by the prize ball control process described later are paid out control boards. It is possible to increase the reliability of the payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that conveys that the 633 has been normally received.

Following step S104, the main control MPU1310a performs an input terminal defect monitoring process (step S105). In this input terminal defect monitoring process, among the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU1310a, the state of which the empty terminal process is performed is performed based on the information acquired in the switch input process of step S104. Specifically, for example, since the input terminal PA7 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a is grounded to the ground (GND) as an empty terminal process, the logical state is always LOW. Therefore, in the input terminal defect monitoring process, information acquired in the switch input process in step S104 is performed to determine whether or not the logical state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal process is performed is LOW among the input terminals of various input ports. Do based on. The main control MPU 1310a is classified into a notification display indicating that a problem has occurred in the peripheral circuit of the main control MPU 1310a when it is determined that the logical state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal processing is performed is not LOW. The malfunction command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S105, the main control MPU1310a performs a winning random number update process (step S106). In this winning random number update process, the symbol random number described above is updated. Further, in addition to these random numbers, a random number for determining an initial value for a jackpot symbol, which is updated by the non-winning random number update process in step S56 in the main control side power-on processing (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 211. And the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol is also updated. These random numbers for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random numbers for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are updated in the main control side main process and the main control side timer interrupt process, respectively, to further enhance the randomness. .. On the other hand, since the symbol random number is a random number related to the winning determination (winning determination), each counter counts up only every time the winning random number update process is performed. The above-mentioned random number for determining the normal symbol hit and the initial value determination random number for determining the normal symbol hit are also updated by this winning random number update process.

For example, as described above, the counter that updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination is an initial value update type counter, which is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical value range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and this minimum value. The range from to the maximum value is counted up by adding a value of 1 each time the main control side timer interrupt process is performed. The initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination is counted up toward the maximum value, and then the minimum value is counted up toward the initial value determination random number for normal symbol hit determination. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the normal symbol hit determination random number, the winning random number update process updates the initial value determination random number for hit determination. The normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number can be obtained by executing an initial value lottery process in which one value is drawn from a fixed numerical value range of a counter that updates the normal symbol hit determination random number.

In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are not used in step S56 in the main control side power-on processing (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 211. The random number is updated in the random number update process and the random number update process in step S106 in the main control side timer interrupt process, which is the routine, but the processing time of this routine becomes uneven each time the interrupt timer occurs. If the number of executions of the non-winning random number update process in step S56 becomes random by repeatedly executing the main control side main process within the remaining time until the interrupt timer is generated, the random number for determining the initial value for the jackpot symbol , And the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol may be updated only in the non-winning random number update process in step S56.

Following step S106, the main control MPU1310a performs a ball number counting process (step S107). In this ball number counting process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and a detection signal from the out sensor 664 is input based on this input information, is discharged from the game board 5, and is distributed through the out ball passage 663. A game ball (struck into the game area 5a and received by a winning opening such as a general winning opening 2001, a first starting opening 2002, a second starting opening 2004, a large winning opening 2005, a character winning opening 2006, etc. The game ball discharged from the board 5 and after being driven into the game area 5a, is accepted by any of the out port 1008, the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022 without being accepted by any winning opening. When the out sensor 664 detects the game ball ejected from the game board 5, the value 1 is added (incremented) to the value of the total recovery ball counter, and the detection signal from the first ball sensor 703 is performed. When the first ball sensor 703 detects a game ball that is received by the out port 1008, the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022 and flows through the first ball path 701, the out port 1008, The operation of adding (incrementing) the value 1 to the value of the out ball counter that counts the count of the number of game balls, so-called out balls, collected by the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022 is performed, and the second A detection signal from the ball sensor 704 is input and driven into the game area 5a to form a general winning opening 2001, a first starting opening 2002, a second starting opening 2004, a large winning opening 2005, an accessory winning opening 2006, etc. When the second ball sensor 704 detects a game ball that is accepted by the winning opening and flows through the second ball path 702, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, and the large winning opening 2005 , The value 1 is added (incremented) to the value of the safe ball counter that counts the count of the number of game balls, so-called safe balls, received in the winning openings such as the winning opening 2006. That is, in the ball number counting process, the out sensor 664 is a game ball accepted by the winning openings such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006. And the game ball accepted in the out port 1008, the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022, and the first ball sensor 703 detects the out port 1008, the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022. The second ball sensor 704 detects the game ball collected by the above and accepts it in the winning openings such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006. Detects the game ball that has been played.

Then, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value of the total collection ball counter, which is the calculation result, to the winning openings such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006. The total number of the game balls accepted in the main control built-in RAM and the game balls accepted in the out port 1008, the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022 is stored in the total collected ball counting area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. The value of the out ball counter is stored as the total number of out balls collected by the out port 1008, the first sub out port 2021 and the second sub out port 2022 in the out ball counting dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, and the safe ball counter. The value of is specified as the total number of safe balls accepted in the winning openings such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006. Store in the safe ball counting area in the area. In addition, the ratio of the number of payouts (total number of prize balls paid out) to the value of the total collected ball counter, that is, the ratio of the number of payouts (total number of prize balls paid out) to the total number of game balls driven in is calculated. The calculation result is stored in the base calculation area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, and the output of the lighting signal to be displayed on the special monitor is set and stored in the output information storage area as output information.

Further, in the main control MPU 1310a, when the value of the total recovery ball counter is divisible by the value 10, that is, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, Every time the total number of game balls collected at the winning openings, out openings 1008, first sub-out opening 2021, and second sub-out opening 2022 reaches 10, a ball collection command is created to inform that fact and used as transmission information. It is stored in the output information storage area. In the main control MPU 1310a, each of the value of the recovery ball counter, the value of the out ball counter, and the value of the safe ball counter, which are the calculation results, reaches the maximum value (value 65535 in this embodiment), and further, the recovery ball. When the value 1 is added (incremented) to the value of the counter, the out ball counter, or the safe ball counter, the values of the collected ball counter, the out ball counter, and the safe ball counter overflow and become the value 0, and the operation of adding from this value 0 is performed. conduct.

Following step S107, the main control MPU1310a performs a prize ball control process (step S108). In this prize ball control process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and a prize ball command for paying out a game ball is created based on this input information, or a main control board 1310 and a payout control board 633 are used. Create a self-check command to check the connection status between the boards. Then, the created prize ball command and self-check command are transmitted to the payout control board 633 as the main payment serial data. For example, when one game ball enters the large prize opening 2005, a prize ball command that pays out 15 balls as a prize ball is created, and the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball reaches 10 balls. Therefore, in order to convey that fact, the output of the main prize ball number information output signal is set, stored in the output information storage area as output information, and the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control board 633, or this prize ball. When the payer ACK signal indicating that the payout control board 633 has normally received the command is not input within the specified time, a self-check command for checking the connection status between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 is issued. It is created and transmitted to the payout control board 633.

Further, in the prize ball control process in step S108, when the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls has reached 10 based on the input information read from the above-mentioned input information storage area. In order to convey that fact, a main prize ball number information output command, which is classified into other categories, is created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information. The main prize ball number information output command is created based on the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter. The value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter is based on the input information read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, that is, the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting opening 2002 provided in the game board 5. , Second start opening 2004, large winning opening 2005, accessory winning opening 2006, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "various winning openings provided in the game board 5") based on a game ball The number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls is counted, and in the prize ball control process of step S108, the information is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. There is. In the prize ball control process of step S108, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the read main prize ball number information output determination counter is read. The input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball is added to the value of, and the value indicating the added number of balls is the value 10. When the number exceeds (that is, when the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls has reached 10), a main prize ball number information output command is created to inform that fact, and as transmission information. It is stored in the output information storage area, and the value indicating the excess number of balls is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the above-mentioned main control built-in RAM as the value of the counter for determining the number of main prize balls. It has become.

Following step S108, the main control MPU1310a performs frame command reception processing (step S110). The payout control board 633 transmits various 1-byte (8-bit) commands (for example, a frame state 1 command, an error release navigation command, and a frame state 2 command) classified into status displays. In the frame command reception process, when various commands are normally received as payer serial data, information to convey that fact to the payout control board 633 is stored as output information in the output information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, the main control MPU1310a formats the command normally received as the payer serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (various commands classified into status display (frame status 1 command, error release navigation command,). And frame state 2 command)), it is stored in the transmission information storage area described above as transmission information.

Following step S110, the main control MPU1310a performs fraud detection processing (step S112). In this fraud detection process, an abnormal state related to the prize ball is confirmed. When it is determined that a fraudulent act by radio wave irradiation (hereinafter referred to as "radio wave irradiation goto") is performed, the value of the radio wave irradiation goto counter is added (incremented) by a value of 1. The value of this radio wave goto counter is incremented each time it is determined that the radio wave irradiation goto is performed in the fraud detection process, and when the RAM is cleared, the value 0 (zero) is set as the initial value. It has become so. When the value of the radio wave irradiation goto counter reaches the upper limit value (in this embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit value based on 4 ms, which is the interrupt cycle in which the fraud detection process is performed by the timer interrupt process on the main control side. ), Create a radio wave irradiation goto notification command classified into a notification display indicating that the radio wave irradiation goto is being performed, and store it as transmission information in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area.

Further, in the fraudulent act detection process of step S112, the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and when the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050 is input, the fraudulent act using a magnet (hereinafter, “magnet goto””. It is determined that the above is performed, and the value of the magnet goto counter is added (incremented) by the value 1. The value of this magnet goto counter is incremented each time it is determined that radio wave irradiation goto is performed in the fraud detection process, is included in the game backup information, and is initially set when the RAM is cleared. The value 0 (zero) is set as the value. When the value of the magnet goto counter reaches the upper limit value (in this embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit value based on 4 ms, which is the interrupt cycle in which the fraud detection process is performed by the timer interrupt process on the main control side. ), A magnet goto notification command classified into a notification display indicating that the radio wave irradiation goto is being performed is created and stored as transmission information in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area. In the present embodiment, by reliably detecting and notifying the magnet goto by such a mechanism, it is possible to contribute to the ability of the staff such as the clerk of the game hall to find the magnet goto at an early stage. It has become.

Further, in the fraud detection process in step S112, for example, when the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area and the detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2402 is input when the game is not in the big hit game state (big winning opening). When a large winning opening abnormality winning is generated (when a game ball enters in 2005), a winning abnormality display command classified into a notification display as an abnormal state is created and stored in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information. Or, the value of the safe ball counter stored in the safe ball counting area is the general winning opening sensor 3001, the first starting opening sensor 3002, the second starting opening sensor 2401, the large winning opening sensor 2402, and the accessory winning opening. The total number of game balls detected by the sensor 2601, that is, the games actually accepted by the winning openings such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006. When it is different from the total number of spheres, a winning abnormality display command classified as a notification display as an abnormal state is created and stored in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information.

In the fraud detection process of step S112, when the radio wave irradiation goto and / or the magnet goto is detected, the fraud detection flag FD-FLG is set to a value of 1 as the fraud detection, while the radio wave irradiation goto and the magnet. When the goto is not detected, the value 0 is set in the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as the fraud detection has not been detected. This fraud detection flag FD-FLG is included in the game backup information, and when the RAM is cleared, the value 0 (zero) is set as the initial value. Further, even when the occurrence of the abnormal winning of the large winning opening is detected, the value 1 may be set in the fraudulent activity detection flag FD-FLG as the detection of the fraudulent activity.

Following step S112, the main control MPU 1310a performs a firing permission signal setting process (step S113). In this launch permission signal setting process, the logic of the launch permission signal for notifying the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 to permit the launch of the game ball B is set. Specifically, the main control MPU1310a determines that the fraud detection flag FD-FLG has a value of 0, that is, the fraud has not been detected, based on the value of the fraud detection flag FD-FLG described above. Occasionally, it is set in the launch permission logic as the logic of the launch permission signal and stored in the output information storage area described above as output information, while the fraud detection flag FD-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, fraudulent activity. When it is determined that the detection is, the logic of the launch permission signal is set to the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic) in which the launch permission logic is inverted, and the output information is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area. The main control MPU 1310a reads input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, a detection signal from the door frame opening switch is input to open the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4. When the door frame opening switch detects that, the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b is input and the main body frame opening switch 4b detects that the main body frame 4 is open with respect to the outer frame 2. Is set in the launch stop logic (launch non-permitted logic) in which the launch permission logic is inverted as the logic of the launch permission signal, and is stored as the output information in the above-mentioned output information storage area. The logic of the firing permission signal is that, as an initial value (default), the firing permission signal setting process in step S113 in the main control side timer interrupt process, which is this routine after the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (after the power is restored), is performed. Until it is started, it is composed of hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function so that it is set to a launch stop logic (launch non-permitted logic) in which the launch permission logic is inverted.

Following step S113, the main control MPU1310a performs special symbol and special electric accessory control processing (step S114). In this special symbol and special electric accessory control process, a latch signal is output to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the random number (random number value) extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit when the latch signal is input is mainly used. It is acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the control MPU 1310a, and the acquired random number value is set as a special random number. Then, it is determined whether or not the special random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310a) and the big hit determination value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM match (big hit). It is determined whether or not to generate a game state (referred to as "special lottery"), and the value of the counter that updates the symbol random number is taken out and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM according to the big hit type and small hit type. Judgment (determines the hit type) whether or not it matches any of the hit type judgment values.

When these determination results (lottery results) are based on the first start port sensor 3002, various commands related to the special drawing 1 tuning effect are created, while the determination results (lottery results) are the second start port sensor 2401. In the case of the above, various commands related to the special figure 2 tuning effect are created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information, and the variation display pattern of the special symbol is determined based on the above-mentioned random number for the variation display pattern. Then, the first special symbol display or the second special symbol of the function display unit 1400 is turned on so as to light the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined variation display pattern of the special symbol. The output of the lighting signal to the display is set and stored in the output information storage area described above as output information. In addition, depending on the game state to be generated, for example, when a big hit game state is reached, various commands classified as big hit related commands (big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 open Nth display command, big winning opening 1 closed display command, big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 closed display command, big winning opening 1 closed display command A winning opening 1 count display command, a jackpot ending command, and a jackpot symbol display command) are created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information. When the output is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area, or when the number of times (round) that the big prize opening 2005 is changed from the closed state to the open state is 2 times, 2 of the round display of the function display unit 1400. Set the output of the lighting signal to the 2-round indicator lamp so that the round indicator lamp is lit, and store it in the output information storage area as output information. When the round is 15 times, the round indicator of the function display unit 1400 Function display unit 1400 that sets the output of the lighting signal to the 15-round display lamp so that the 15-round display lamp is lit, stores it in the output information storage area as output information, and lights the presence or absence of time reduction in a predetermined color. Set the output of the lighting signal to the status display of, and store it in the output information storage area as output information.

Following step S114, the main control MPU1310a performs a normal symbol and a normal electric accessory control process (step S116). In this ordinary symbol and ordinary electric accessory control process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the ordinary winning opening winning process is performed based on this input information. In this normal winning opening winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801 has been input to the input terminal of the input port. Based on this judgment result, when the detection signal is input to the input terminal of the input port, the value of the counter that updates the above-mentioned normal symbol hit judgment random number is extracted and the main control is built in as the normal winning opening winning information. It is stored in the normal winning opening winning information storage area of the RAM.

The normal winning opening winning information storage area is provided with a 0th to 3rd section (4 sections), and a normal winning opening is provided in the order of the 0th section, the 1st section, the 2nd section, and the 3rd section. Winning information is stored. For example, when the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the 0th to 2nd sections of the normal winning opening winning information storage, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801 is input to the input terminal of the input port, the normal winning opening The winning information is stored in the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage.

The normal winning opening winning information stored in the 0th section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When this ordinary winning opening winning information is set, the ordinary winning opening winning information in the first section of the ordinary winning opening winning information memory is placed in the 0th section of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage, and the second section of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage. The ordinary winning opening winning information of the section is in the first section of the normal winning opening winning information storage, and the ordinary winning opening winning information in the third section of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage is in the second section of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage, respectively. It is shifted and the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage becomes an empty area. For example, when the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the first and second sections of the normal winning opening winning information storage, the ordinary winning opening winning information in the first section of the ordinary winning opening winning information storage is the normal winning opening. The normal winning mouth winning information in the second section of the ordinary winning opening information storage is shifted to the first section of the ordinary winning opening information storage in the 0th section of the ordinary winning opening information storage, and the normal winning opening winning information storage is the first. The 2nd section and the 3rd section of the normal winning opening winning information storage will be empty areas. Here, if the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the first to third sections of the normal winning opening winning information storage, the total number of the stored normal winning opening winning information is used as a reserved ball, and the function display unit 1400 is normal. The output of the lighting signal of the normal hold display of the function display unit 1400 is set based on the above-mentioned normal winning opening winning information so as to light the hold display, and is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area as output information.

Following the normal winning opening winning process, the normal winning opening winning information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the value of the random number for determining the normal symbol hit is extracted from the read normal winning opening winning information and the main control is performed. It is determined whether or not it matches the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the built-in ROM (referred to as "normal lottery"). Based on this determination result (lottery result by ordinary lottery), it is determined whether or not to open / close the second starting door 2411. When the opening / closing operation is performed by this determination, the second starting port door 2411 is in the opened operation state, so that the game ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004, which is advantageous to the player. Become a state. The variation display pattern of the normal symbol corresponding to this determination is determined based on the above-mentioned random number for the normal symbol variation display pattern, various commands classified to be related to the normal symbol tuning effect are created, and the transmission information storage described above is performed as transmission information. While storing in the area, the output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to light the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined fluctuation display pattern of the normal symbol, and the output information. Is stored in the output information storage area described above.

Further, for example, when the value of the extracted normal symbol hit judgment random number matches the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, various commands related to the normal electric service effect are created and transmitted. While storing as information in the transmission information storage area, the output of the drive signal to the start port solenoid 2412 is set so as to open and close the second start port door 2411, and the output information is stored in the output information storage area described above. When the value of the extracted normal symbol hit judgment random number does not match the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, the normal symbol variation display is based on the above-mentioned normal symbol variation display pattern random number. A pattern is determined, various commands classified in relation to the normal symbol synchronization effect are created, stored as transmission information in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area, and the normal symbol of the function display unit 1400 is stored according to the determined normal symbol variation display pattern. The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to turn on the display, and the output information is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area. In this example, the winning probability of the normal lottery (probability of winning the normal lottery) is halved.

Following step S116, the main control MPU1310a performs port output processing (step S118). In this port output process, output information is read from the output information storage area described above from the output terminals of various output ports of the main control MPU 1310a, and various signals are output based on this output information. The main control MPU 1310a outputs a main pay ACK signal when the various commands from the payout control board 633 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a based on the output information, for example. A drive signal is output to the attacker solenoid 2414 that opens and closes the opening / closing member of the big winning opening 2005 when the game is in a big hit game state, and the second starting opening door 2411 for opening / closing the second starting opening 2004. In addition to outputting a drive signal to the start port solenoid 2412 that opens and closes, a 15-round jackpot information output signal, a 2-round jackpot information output signal, a small hit information output signal, a special symbol display information output signal, and a normal symbol display. Various information (game information) signals related to the game such as information output signal, time saving medium information output signal, start opening winning information output signal can be output to the payout control board 633, and launch permission logic or launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic). The launch permission signal set to is output to the payout control board 633, or the display signal is output to the special monitor that displays the ratio of the number of payouts (total number of payout prize balls) to the total number of game balls that have been driven. Alternatively, a lighting signal for displaying the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM on the setting display 1310 g is output.

Following step S118, the main control MPU1310a performs peripheral control board command transmission processing (step S120). In this peripheral control board command transmission process, transmission information is read from the transmission information storage area described above, and this transmission information is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as main peripheral serial data. This transmission information is classified into various commands classified in the special figure 1 tuning effect-related, various commands classified in the special figure 2 tuning effect-related, and jackpot-related, which are created by the main control side timer interrupt processing of this routine. Various commands (for example, a large winning opening 1 count display command corresponding to a large winning opening count command based on a detection signal from the large winning opening sensor 2402 when a game ball entered in the large winning opening 2005 is detected) , Various commands classified as power-on, various commands classified as related to normal electric power production, various commands classified as normal electric service production, various commands classified as notification display, various commands classified as status display Various commands classified into commands, test-related commands, and various other commands (for example, the main control board 1310 is scheduled to be paid out as a prize ball based on the game ball entered into the various winning openings provided in the game board 5. Every time the number of game balls reaches 10, the main prize ball number information output signal is transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558 as the main prize ball number information. Winning of various commands classified into specific history (for example, general winning opening 2001, first starting opening 2002, second starting opening 2004, large winning opening 2005, accessory winning opening 2006, etc.) Every time the number of game balls collected at the mouth, the out port 1008, the first sub-out port 2021 and the second sub-out port 2022 reaches 10, a ball collection command that informs that fact, the setting value has been changed. A setting change command to convey, an error display command to inform that the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or unreliable), and a setting value to be described later in a specific area of the main control built-in RAM. The ON operation command of the setting key that tells to confirm the setting value stored in the area) is stored. One packet of the main peripheral serial data is composed of 3 bytes. Specifically, the main peripheral serial data has a status indicating the type of a command having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), a mode indicating a variation of an effect having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), and a status. And the sum value calculated by regarding the mode as a numerical value and the sum, and this sum value is created at the time of transmission.

In this peripheral control board command transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which configure various commands as main peripheral serial data. As described above, the charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as + 5V to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, in the event of a power failure or a momentary power failure. The main-circle serial transmission port built in the control MPU 1310a can at least transfer the command set in the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register by the serial management unit and complete transmission as main-circle serial data from the transmission shift register. You can do it. When the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, or when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure after the power is turned on, transmission is performed when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 211. In the reservation setting of the command to be executed, in order to notify that the power has been restored, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball count information output determination counter are used. Since the notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, the status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command are stored as main peripheral serial data in that order. It is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, then to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configures the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and then the main prize ball number information when the power is turned on. The output determination counter notification command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, various information is read from the game backup information in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the main control side power-on processing, and the various information is accommodated. Various commands may be stored. In such a case, first of all the various information, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information The output judgment counter notification command will be sent.

It should be noted that the winning openings and out openings 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022 such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, etc. When a ball recovery command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 every time the number of game balls collected in is 10 balls, the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives each ball recovery command. In addition, the winning openings and out openings 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022 such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, etc. The number of game balls collected in is counted, and the ball collection information stored and stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) (counted values (that is, the counted values (that is, general winning opening 2001, first starting opening 2002, second starting)). The total number of game balls collected at the winning openings and out openings 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022, such as the opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006) and the updated date and time. Information associated with and) is updated. If the pachinko machine 1 is turned off after the business hours of the game hall are closed without receiving the ball collection command, as a result, the last counted value (that is, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening) is used. The total number of game balls collected at the winning openings and out openings 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022, such as 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the large winning opening 2005, and the accessory winning opening 2006. ) And the updated date and time are stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on when the game hall is opened, the CPU of the peripheral control IC on the peripheral control board 1510 sells the ball collection information stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). The ball recovery information is created again from the start date, and the ball recovery information is stored and held as the ball recovery history information in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). As the counted value stored and stored as the ball recovery information in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown), the value counted from the value 0 (zero) on that day may be used, or from the value 0 (zero) on that day. Both the counted value and the sum of the counted values so far may be used.

Following step S120, the main control MPU 1310a clears the main control built-in WDT (step S122), and ends this routine. The main control built-in WDT in step S122 is cleared by setting the timer clear set value in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, the timekeeping by the main control built-in WDT is cleared. Then, by restarting the time counting by the main control built-in WDT, the main control MPU 1310a does not have to be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT.

As described above, the main control board 1310 is a backup for storing the game information due to the progress of the game before the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off during the progress of the game. The process can be executed and completed, and at the time of power recovery, the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off based on the game information in which the backup process is executed as the return destination of the game progress by the main control board 1310. When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command at power-on, which indicates the drive state of the start port solenoid 2412 and the attacker solenoid 2414, which are the electric drive sources by the port output process of step S118 in this routine, is output to the peripheral control board 1510. You can do it. That is, the main control board 1310 has the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the same process shown in FIG. 210 in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. Power-on state command, which is classified as power-on, to notify that the power has been turned on (restored) based on the power-on information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the work area setting of. A command for returning to the main control at power-on and a counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls at power-on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In the peripheral control board command transmission process, the main peripheral serial data is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command, and then the main control return destination when the power is turned on. The command is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, and then the status, mode, and sum value that configures the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball count information output when the power is turned on. It is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order.

Therefore, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration in the display area of the effect display device 1600 based on the main control return destination command when the power is turned on from the main control board 1310. Can be displayed in the production. As a result, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs while the player is playing a game, and then the power is restored, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure is restored immediately after the power is restored. In addition, the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 can be displayed and notified in the display area of the effect display device 1600, so that the system of the pachinko machine 1 is in a solid state, that is, a so-called frozen state. It is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for a failure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for a failure by promptly returning to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after the power is restored.

Further, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, as described above, FIG. 210 shows. In step S38 in the main control side power-on processing shown, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is always cleared except for a specific area. As a result, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on in step S50 in the same process shown in FIG. 211, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on is performed, the power-on state command classified as power-on is performed. , When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Only three commands, the status command, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on, are stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. In the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in this routine, the main control board inspection device is used as the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command as main peripheral serial data. It sends, then sends to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configures the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and then outputs the main prize ball number information when the power is turned on. Judgment counter Sends to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the notification command. The inspection device in the main control board inspection process constitutes information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine, that is, based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310. , The series code for specifying which of the above-mentioned max type, middle type, and Amadeji type indicating the model type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specifications. (For example, when a probability fluctuation occurs, in addition to the game specification that the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs, the game specification that the probability fluctuation occurs in a state where the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is limited (ST). Based on the game specification code for specifying the machine), etc.), detailed model information is displayed on the inspection monitor of the main control board inspection process.

[21-5. Setting change process]
Next, the setting change process will be described. This setting change process is a process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on time process shown in FIG. 210.

When the setting change process is started, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the current installation value as shown in FIG. 213 (step S200). Here, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. When acquiring this set value, it may be read out or taken out, but when the set value is taken out, the taken out set value is set in a predetermined area.

Following step S200, the main control MPU1310a calculates the checksum (step S202). This checksum calculates the total of various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values, and is a checksum performed in step S28 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 210. It is the same process as the calculation of.

Following step S202, the calculated checksum value (sum value) is stored in the main control MPU 1310a in the main control side power off processing (power off) in the main control side power on processing shown in FIG. 211. It is determined whether or not the checksum value (sum value) matches the checksum value (step S204). In step S204, when the main control MPU1310a determines that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S206). The determination in step S204 and the determination in step S206 are the same as the determination in step S30 and the determination in step S32 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 210. As described above, the backup flag BK-FLG has a built-in main control in the main control side power cutoff process, which will be described later, for game backup information such as various information, checksum value (sum value), and backup flag BK-FLG value. It is a flag indicating whether or not the memory is stored in the RAM, and is set to a value of 1 when the main control side power off processing is normally completed and a value of 0 when the main control side power off processing is not normally completed. Will be done.

In the determination of step S204, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or in the determination of step S206, the backup flag BK-FLG of the main control MPU1310a is not a value 1. When (value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the processing for power off on the main control side has not been normally completed, it is determined whether or not the set value acquired in step S200 is within the normal range (step S208). .. Here, the "normal range" is a value whose setting can be changed, and in the present embodiment, the setting value 1, the setting value 2, the setting value 3, the setting value 4, the setting value 5, and the setting. It is preset to a value up to a value of 6. When it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM by proceeding to the determination in step S208, or when it is determined that the main control side power cutoff process is not normally completed when the power is cut off. Therefore, the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or unreliable). Therefore, in the determination in step S208, the main control MPU 1310a has the set value 1 to the set value 6 in which the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM acquired in step S200 is in the normal range. It is determined whether or not the value is one of the values, and when it is determined that the value is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S208, when it is determined that the main control MPU 1310a is not in the normal range, the set value 1 which is an initial value is set with respect to the set value acquired in step S200 (step S210). In the determination of step S208, any one of the set value 1 to the set value 6 in which the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM acquired in step S200 is in the normal range. Although it is determined whether or not the value is set, the main control MPU1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination in step S204 without performing the determination in step S208. When, or in the determination of step S206, the main control MPU1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not a value 1 (value is 0), that is, the main control side power supply cutoff process is not normally completed. Occasionally, the process of step S210 may be proceeded, and the set value 1 which is the initial value may be set with respect to the set value acquired in step S200.

In the determination of step S206, the main control MPU1310a determines when the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power cutoff process is normally completed, or in the determination of step S208, the main control When the MPU 1310a determines that the range is normal, or following step S210, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1310z to turn on the setting change permission lamp 1310z (step S212).

Following step S212, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the set value on the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g, and displays the setting value on the setting display 1310g (step S214). ..

Following step S214, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not the setting switching button is being operated (step S216). This determination reads the detection signal from the setting switching button and determines whether or not the detection signal from the setting switching button is input. The main control MPU1310a determines that the setting switching button is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button is input, while the setting switching button is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button is not input. Judge that it is not.

In the determination of step S216, when it is determined that the setting switching button is being operated, the main control MPU 1310a performs an operation of adding (incrementing) the value 1 to the set value to update it (step S218). At this time, when the set value is acquired in step S200, if the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area is set. The value 1 is added (incremented) to the set value set in.

Following step S218, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value updated in step S216 to the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g, and updates the setting value for the setting display 1310g. Is displayed (step S220).

Following step S220 or in the determination of step S216, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button has not been operated, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the enter key has been operated (step S222). ). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a is set in the counterclockwise direction from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The key cylinder is rotated 120 degrees (that is, the initial position which is the original position from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (that is, the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch is operated by rotating 60 degrees counterclockwise to return to the rotation position) and turning it off, and then rotating it 60 degrees counterclockwise (turning it 60 degrees counterclockwise) to perform the second ON operation. 1311a is turned on based on the decision key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a, and when the decision key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the decision key has been operated. When the signal of the determination key ON from the setting key switch 1311a is not input, it is determined that the determination key is not operated.

In the determination of step S222, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the determination key has not been operated, it returns to the determination of step S216 again and determines whether or not the setting switching button has been operated. In the determination of step S216, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the setting switching button is operated, the processes of step S218 and step S220 are performed again, the determination of step S222 is performed, and the enter key is not operated. When the determination is made, the determination returns to the determination in step S216 again, and when the setting switching button is operated until the enter key is operated, the setting value is added and updated by one value each time the operation is performed, and the setting display 1310g is updated. If the setting switching button is not operated, the setting switching button is operated immediately before and the updated setting value is displayed on the setting display 1310g. Even if a power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the power is restored by the time the determination key is determined in step S222, the set value updated immediately before the power failure or momentary power failure occurs is the main control. Since it is not stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the built-in RAM, it is discarded and the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is not changed.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S222, when it is determined that the decision key has been operated, the main control MPU 1310a stores the updated set value in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (step S224). At this time, when the set value is acquired in step S200, if the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area is set. Since the updated setting value is updated with respect to the setting value set in, the updated setting value is returned to the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. Even if a power failure or momentary power failure occurs after the processing in step S224 is completed and the power is restored, the updated setting value when the enter key is operated before the power failure or momentary power failure occurs is the main control built-in RAM. It is stored in the area dedicated to the setting value in the specific area of.

Following step S224, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key (step S226). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a has an initial position (that is, a setting key) from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder in which the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. The setting key switch 1311a is turned off by turning the setting key cylinder 60 degrees clockwise and turning it off so that the switch 1311a is returned to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder). It is performed based on the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a, and when the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the setting key has been turned off, but the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is not input. Sometimes it is determined that the setting key has not been turned off.

In the determination of step S226, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the setting key has not been turned OFF, the determination returns to the determination of step S226 again, and the determination of step S226 is repeated until the setting key is turned OFF.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S226, when it is determined that the setting key has been turned off, the main control MPU 1310a stops outputting the lighting signal to the setting display 1310g for displaying the updated setting value on the setting display 1310g. Then, the updated setting value is hidden for the setting display 1310g (step S228).

Following step S228, the main control MPU 1310a stops the lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1310z and turns off the setting change permission lamp 1310z (step S230).

Following step S230, the main control MPU1310a sets the value 0 in the setting change permission flag CS-FLG (step S232). As described above, the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is the current setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is the first ON). It is a flag indicating whether or not to allow the setting change of the setting value 1 to the setting value 6 at the time of operation), and when the setting change of the setting value is permitted. The value is set to 1 and the value is set to 0 when the setting change of the set value is not permitted. In the process of step S232, by setting the value 0 in the setting change permission flag CS-FLG, it is not permitted to change the setting value after that.

Following step S232, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the set value stored in step S224 is within the normal range (step S233). The "normal range" is the same as that of the determination in step S208, and as described above, in the present embodiment, the setting value 1, the setting value 2, the setting value 3, the setting value 4, the setting value 5, and the setting. It is preset to a value up to the value 6. In the determination of step S233, in order to reconfirm whether the set value is an abnormal value, the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is normal in step S224. It is determined whether or not the value is one of the set value 1 to the set value 6 which is the range, and when it is determined that the value is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is.

In the determination of step S233, when the main control MPU1310a determines that the range is normal, the serial communication initial setting is performed (step S234), and then a setting change command is created to set transmission information (step S236). Subsequently, a peripheral control board transmission command transmission process for transmitting the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 to the peripheral control board 1510 as main peripheral serial data is performed (step S238), and this routine is terminated. The serial communication initial setting in step S234 is the same process as the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 211, and the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 is FIG. 212. This is the same process as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in 1. Here, in the serial communication initial setting in step S234, the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 is mainly performed prior to the serial communication initial setting in step S44. Although it is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as peripheral serial data, this is prioritized before the reservation of the command to be transmitted at power-on is set in step S50 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 211. This is to notify the peripheral control board 1510 that the setting value has been changed by the setting change command. The setting change command is a command for notifying the setting value whose setting has been changed and the setting value storage completion. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting change command, it updates the set value history information (information corresponding to the set value and the date and time) stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). do.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S233, the main control MPU1310a performs an error display process (step S240) when it is determined that the range is not normal, and enters an infinite loop. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display process is completed is maintained, the game cannot proceed at all, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the power is turned on again. A detailed explanation of this error display processing will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power off processing has not been completed normally when the power is turned off. If it is determined, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is regarded as abnormal (or unreliable), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the alphabet E as an error display on the setting display 1310g.

[21-6. Setting value confirmation display processing]
Next, the setting value confirmation display process will be described. This set value confirmation display process is a process performed in step S117 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 212.

When the set value confirmation display process is started, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG has a value of 0, as shown in FIG. 214 (step S350). This confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is a flag for confirming the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM, and the value 1 is set when the set value is confirmed and displayed. When the value is not confirmed and displayed, the value is set to 0.

In the determination of step S350, when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when the set value is not confirmed and displayed, the main control MPU1310a opens the main body frame 4 and turns on the setting key. (Step S352). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a reads input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, detects from the main body frame opening switch 4b for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. The setting key is inserted into the signal and the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder moves clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the first ON operation after being rotated 60 degrees, and the setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a causes the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. Is determined to be open, and the setting key switch 1311a is determined to be ON by the signal of setting key ON, so that it is determined that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied. On the other hand, it is determined that the main body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the main body frame opening switch 4b, and / or the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. By determining that there is no such condition, it is determined that the predetermined set value display permission condition is not satisfied.

In the determination of step S352, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the predetermined set value display permission condition is not satisfied, the main control MPU 1310a terminates this routine as it is, while the predetermined set value display permission condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the set value is confirmed and displayed, the value 1 is set in the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG (step S354), and then the current installed value is acquired (step S356). Here, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S356, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not the set value acquired in step S356 is within the normal range (step S357). The "normal range" is the same as that of the determination in step S208 and the determination in step S233 in the setting change process of FIG. 213. As described above, in the present embodiment, the setting value 1, the setting value 2, and the setting The values up to 3, the set value 4, the set value 5, and the set value 6 are preset. In the determination of step S357, the main control MPU 1310a reconfirms whether the set value is an abnormal value, so that the set value acquired in step S356 (that is, the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM) is used. It is determined whether or not the set value (set value stored in) is within the normal range from the set value 1 to the set value 6, and when it is determined that the set value is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is. do.

In the determination of step S357, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the range is normal, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value acquired in step S356 on the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g. The set value is displayed for 1310 g (step S358).

Following step S360, the main control MPU1310a creates an ON operation command for the setting key, stores it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and sets the ON operation command for the setting key (step S360). ), End this routine. The ON operation command of this setting key is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 212. The ON operation command of the setting key indicates that the setting value confirmation display process, which is this routine, has started (that is, the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is confirmed). It is a command to convey.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the ON operation command of the setting key, the ON operation history information (setting value) of the setting key stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) is confirmed. Information that associates the fact with the date and time) is updated.

Further, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the ON operation command of the setting key, the ball collection history information, the set value history information, the error display history information, and the ON operation history information of the setting key described above are received. The predetermined specific history information display permission condition that the display of the specific history information such as the above can be permitted is satisfied. In the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510, a person who confirms the specific history information in a state where the predetermined specific history information display permission condition is satisfied performs a rotation operation of the contact operation unit 302 and a pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303. By performing this, control is performed to switch to the specific history information display image for selecting and displaying the specific history information from the images displayed so far and to display the specific history information in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S350, whether the main control MPU1310a has an OFF operation of the setting key when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when the setting value is confirmed and displayed. It is determined whether or not (step S362). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a reads input information from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key switch 1311a The setting key cylinder is rotated 60 degrees clockwise to return to the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that turns off the setting key switch 1311a) from the rotation position of the setting key cylinder that is turned on. Then, the setting key switch 1311a is turned off by the OFF operation, and the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is used. When the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input, it is determined that the setting key has been turned OFF. On the other hand, when the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a is not input, it is determined that the setting key has not been turned OFF.

In the determination of step S362, the main control MPU1310a terminates this routine as it is when it is determined that the setting key has not been turned off, but does not confirm and display the set value when it is determined that the setting key has been turned off. The value 0 is set in the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG (step S364), and then the output of the lighting signal for displaying the set value acquired in step S356 on the setting display 1310g is stopped. The acquired setting value is hidden from the setting display 1310g (step S366), and then an OFF operation command for the setting key is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. , Set the OFF operation command of the setting key (step S368), and end this routine. The OFF operation command of this setting key is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 212. The OFF operation command of the setting key indicates that the setting value confirmation display process, which is this routine, has been completed (that is, the confirmation of the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM has been completed). It is a command to convey.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the OFF operation command of the setting key, the above-mentioned predetermined specific history information display permission condition is not satisfied. At this time, if the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 is controlling to display the above-mentioned specific history information display image in the display area of the effect display device 1600, immediately before switching to the specific history information display image. Control is performed to switch back to the original image displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S357, when it is determined that the main control MPU1310a is not in the normal range, the interrupt non-permission setting is set (step S370). With this setting, the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 212, which has been repeatedly performed every 4 ms, is stopped.

Following step S370, the main control MPU1310a enters an infinite loop that performs error display processing (step S372) and subsequently clears the main control built-in WDT (step S374). Due to this infinite loop, the main control built-in WDT will continue to be cleared, but this cannot be stopped once the main control built-in WDT is started, so by continuing to clear the main control built-in WDT, the main control built-in WDT will continue to be cleared. By setting the timer clear setting value in the WDT clear register built in the control MPU1310a, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and by restarting the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT, the main control by the main control built-in WDT. The MPU1310a does not have to be forcibly reset. Further, due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display processing is completed is maintained, the game cannot proceed at all, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, and the power is turned on again. A detailed explanation of this error display processing will be described later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power off processing has not been completed normally when the power is turned off. If it is determined, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is regarded as abnormal (or unreliable), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In the present embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the alphabet E as an error display on the setting display 1310g.

[21-7. Error display processing]
Next, the error display process will be described. This error display process is a process performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 210, and is a process performed in step S37 in the main control-side power-on process shown in FIG. 210 (FIG. 213). It is a process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 214, and is a process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 214.

When the error display process is started, the main control MPU 1310a stops the firing permission signal as shown in FIG. 215 (step S400). As described above, the launch permission signal conveys that the launch of the game ball B is permitted to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633, and when the logic is set to the launch permission logic, the launch is performed. While it is possible to tell that the launch is permitted, if the logic is set to the launch stop logic (launch non-permitted logic) that is the reverse of the launch permission logic, it is possible to convey that the launch is stopped (not permitted). ..

The error display process of this routine is one of the processes performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 210 or the process performed in step S37 in the main control-side power-on process shown in FIG. 210. When started as (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213), the main control MPU 1310a interrupts step S52 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 211. Since the permission setting cannot be performed, the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 212 cannot be performed, and the firing permission signal setting process in step S113 in the same process cannot be performed. Since the emission permission signal is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a to the emission control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a reset function, a reset function is provided at the time of power recovery. The main control output circuit has been reset, and its logic is the launch stop logic (launch non-permission logic), which is the reverse of the launch permission logic.

Therefore, the error display process of this routine is the process performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 210 or the process performed in step S37 in the main control-side power-on process shown in FIG. 210. When started as one process (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213), the main control MPU1310a recovers power in step S400 and then displays an error, which is the present routine. In order to surely prevent the game ball B from being fired even after the processing is started, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (launch non-permission logic), and the predetermined output port thereof. It is output from the output terminal of the above to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a reset function.

When the error display process of this routine is started as the process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 214, the main control MPU 1310a is set in step S357 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 214. In the judgment, it is judged that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM. Although the main control MPU 1310a has already set the interrupt permission in step S52 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 211, it has already been shown in FIG. 214 before the error display processing of this routine is started. Since the interrupt non-permission setting is performed in step S370 in the set value confirmation display process, when the error display process of this routine is terminated, an infinite loop is entered as described above, so that the main control side shown in FIG. 212 is entered. The timer interrupt process cannot be performed, and the launch permission signal setting process in step S113 in the process cannot be performed.

Therefore, when the error display process of this routine is started as the process performed in step S372 in the set value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 214, the main control MPU 1310a has an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM in step S400. In order to surely prevent the game ball B from being fired in a certain state, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (launch non-permitted logic) and reset from the output terminal of the predetermined output port. It is output to the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a function.

Following step S400, a lighting signal for displaying the alphabet E as an error display on the setting display 1310g is output to the setting display 1310g, and an error is displayed on the setting display 1310g (step S402).

Following step S402, the main control MPU 1310a displays an error to the function display unit 1400 (step S404). In this step S404, a lighting signal for lighting all the various indicators of the function display unit 1400 is output to the function display unit 1400, and an error is displayed to the function display unit 1400.

Following step S404, the main control MPU1310a performs serial communication initial setting (step S406), then creates an error display command to set transmission information (step S408), and then sets in step S406. Peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing for transmitting transmission information (error display command) as main peripheral serial data to peripheral control board 1510 is performed (step S410), and this routine is terminated.

The serial communication initial setting in step S406 is the same as the serial communication initial setting in step S234 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213 and the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 211. The peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S410 is the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213 and the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 212. This is the same process as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S120. The error display process of this routine is performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 210, and is performed in step S37 in the main control-side power-on process shown in FIG. 210 (FIG. 213). The process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 214) and the process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. 214 are started and ended, respectively, and the process enters an infinite loop as described above. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display processing is completed is maintained, and the game cannot proceed at all.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the serial communication initial setting in step S406 is performed, and the transmission information (error display command) set in step S408 in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S410 is used as the main peripheral serial data for the peripheral control board. It is being sent to 1510.

The error display command is a command for notifying that the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is abnormal (or cannot be trusted). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the error display command, the error display history information (information corresponding to the error display command and the received date and time) stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). ) Is updated.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the error display command, the display area of the effect display device 1600 says "RAM error has occurred. Please call the staff." In the blue background image. In addition to controlling the display of message images in white characters, the announcement "A RAM error has occurred. Please call a staff member." Is adjusted by rotating the volume control switch on the peripheral control board 1510. It is controlled to flow from various speakers (top center speaker, top side speaker, main body frame speaker of the main body frame 4, etc.) by forcibly setting the maximum volume without depending on the volume. The process of notifying a RAM error by an error display command is the process having the highest priority, and when the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives a command for transmitting another error and then receives an error display command, the RAM Gives the highest priority to error notification.

[22. Various control processes for payout control boards]
Next, various control processes performed by the payout control board 633 will be described with reference to FIGS. 216 to 219. FIG. 216 is a flowchart showing an example of the payout control unit power-on processing, FIG. 217 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the payout control unit power-on processing, and FIG. 218 is a payout control unit following FIG. 217. It is a flowchart which shows the continuation of the power-on processing, and FIG. 219 is the flowchart which shows an example of the payout control unit timer interrupt processing. First, the payout control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described.

[22-1. Dispensing control unit power-on processing]
First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the payout control unit power-on processing is performed as shown in FIGS. 216 to 218 under the control of the payout control unit 633a on the payout control board 633. .. When the payout control unit power-on processing is started, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode sets the priority of interrupts of the payout control MPU. In the present embodiment, the payout control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is set to have the highest priority, and when an interrupt of the payout control unit timer interrupt process occurs, the process is preferentially performed.

Following step S500, the payout control MPU performs input / output settings (I / O input / output settings) (step S502). In this I / O input / output setting, various input ports and various output ports of the payout control MPU are set.

Following step S502, the payout control MPU performs wait timer processing 1 (step S506) and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S508). The voltage does not rise immediately from the time the power is turned on until the specified voltage is reached. On the other hand, in the event of a power failure or momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped), the voltage drops, and when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. .. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage between the time when the power is turned on and the voltage rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310. Therefore, the wait timer process 1 in step S506 is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure warning voltage and stabilizes after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, the waiting time (wait timer) is 200 milliseconds (waiting timer). ms) is set. The determination in step S508 is performed based on the power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310.

Following step S508, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633 is operated (step S512). This determination is based on the logic of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch, and it is determined that it does not indicate that the RAM is cleared when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is HI. While it is determined that the RAM clear switch is not operated, when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is LOW, it is determined that the RAM is cleared and the RAM is cleared. Determine that the switch is operating.

In the determination of step S512, when it is determined that the RAM clear switch is operated, the payout control MPU sets a value 1 in the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG (step S514). That is, the payout control MPU is in a state in which the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the payout control built-in RAM) built in the payout control MPU can be executed for a predetermined time from the time when the power is turned on.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S512, when the payout control MPU determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 0 (step S516). The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU, for example, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, and the like (for example, a prize ball information storage area). The logical state of the PRDY signal stored in the prize ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. stored in the CR communication information storage area is set. It is a flag indicating whether or not to delete the payout information related to the payout information (such as the PRDY signal output setting information), and is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased and a value 0 when the payout information is not erased. The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG set in steps S514 and S516 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU.

Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control MPU is set to allow access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S518). With this setting, the RAM with built-in payout control can be accessed, and for example, payout information can be written (stored) or read out.

Following step S518, the payout control MPU sets the stack pointer (step S520). The stack pointer indicates, for example, the address stacked on the stack for temporarily storing the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or temporarily returns the return address of this routine when the subroutine is terminated and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked. In step S520, the initial address is set in the stack pointer, and the contents of the register, the return address, and the like are pushed onto the stack from this initial address. Then, the stack pointer returns to the initial address by reading in order from the last stacked stack to the first stacked stack.

Following step S520, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0 (step S522). As described above, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased and a value 0 when the payout information is not erased.

In the determination of step S522, the payout control MPU calculates the checksum when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the payout information is not erased (step S524). This checksum regards the payout information stored in the payout control built-in RAM as a numerical value and calculates the total.

Following step S524, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in the payout control unit power cutoff process (when the power is turned off), which will be described later. (Step S526). In step S526, when the payout control MPU determines that they match, it determines whether or not the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S528). The payout backup flag HBK-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the payout backup information such as the payout information and the checksum value is stored and held in the payout control built-in RAM in the payout control unit power cutoff process described later, and is paid out. The value is set to 1 when the control unit power off processing is normally completed, and the value is set to 0 when the payout control unit power off processing is not normally completed.

In the determination of step S528, when the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the payout control unit power cutoff process has been normally completed, the payout control built-in RAM is used as the time of power recovery. The work area of (step S530) is set. In this setting, the value 0 is set in the payout backup flag HBK-FLG, and the power recovery information is read from the ROM built in the payout control MPU (that is, the payout control built-in ROM). The information is set in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM. As a result, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, etc. (for example, prizes stored in the prize ball information storage area), which are the above-mentioned payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM. Ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, inconsistency counter INCC, etc., PRDY signal output setting information in which the logical state of the PRDY signal is set, stored in the CR communication information storage area, Information used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout of the inconsistency counter reset determination time stored in the time management information storage area. The term "recovery" includes not only the state in which the power is turned on from the state in which the power is cut off, but also the state in which the power is restored after the power failure or momentary power failure.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S522, the payout control MPU determines when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined to erase the payout information, or in the determination in step S526. When the payout control MPU determines that the checksum values do not match, or in the determination of step S528, the payout control MPU determines that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is not a value 1 (value 0), that is. When it is determined that the payout control unit power cutoff process has not been normally completed, the entire area of the payout control built-in RAM is cleared (step S532). As a result, the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is cleared.

Following step S532, the payout control MPU sets the work area of the payout control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S534). This setting reads the initial information from the payout control built-in ROM and sets this initial information in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S530 or step S534, the payout control MPU performs interrupt initial setting (step S536). This setting sets the interrupt cycle when the payout control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 2 ms.

Following step S536, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt enable setting (step S538). With this setting, the payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every 2 ms, that is, the interrupt cycle set in step S536.

Following step S538, the payout control MPU sets the value A in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S539). The watchdog timer is set to clear by setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL.

Following step S539, the payout control MPU determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S540). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage falls below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. Will be done. The determination in step S540 is performed based on this power failure warning signal.

In the determination of step S540, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1 when it is determined that there is no input of the power failure warning signal (step S542). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag for timing 2 ms by the timer interrupt process of the payout control unit, which is processed every 2 ms, which will be described later. Set.

In the determination of step S542, when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has not elapsed, the payout control MPU returns to step S540, and the payout control MPU inputs a power failure warning signal. Determine if it has been done.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S542, the payout control MPU sets the value 0 in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has elapsed (step S544). ).

Following step S544, the payout control MPU sets the value B in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S546). At this time, the value B is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value A set in step S539.

Following step S546, the payout control MPU performs port output processing (step S548). In this port output process, various information is read from the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and various signals are output from the output terminals of various output ports of the payout control MPU based on the various information. In the output information storage area, for example, payer ACK information indicating that various commands (prize ball command and self-check command) related to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received, and drive control to the payout motor 584 are performed. Various information such as drive information, prize ball number information of the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, LED display information displayed on the error LED display, etc. are stored, and payout control is performed based on this output information. When various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU, the payer ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310 or the drive signal is output to the payout motor 584. Or, the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is output to the external terminal board 558 as a prize ball number information output signal (in the present embodiment, the payout motor 584 actually pays 10 game balls). The prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal board 558 each time it is output.

Specifically, a counter for determining the number of prize balls information for determining whether or not to output the number of prize balls information is provided, and the payout motor 584 actually uses the counter for determining the number of prize balls information. The number of game balls paid out to is counted based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, and the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584. Is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM by a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring.

In a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, the prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM Based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is added to the value and stored and updated.

In the port output process of step S548, the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter is read from the prize ball information storage area, and when the value of the read prize ball number information output determination counter exceeds the value 10 ( That is, when the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 reaches 10, the prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal plate 558 (at this time, the number of balls exceeded is shown. The value is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM as the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter), and the display signal is output to the error LED display.

Following step S548, the payout control MPU performs port input processing (step S550). In this port input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the payout control MPU are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. For example, an operation signal of the RAM clear switch (RAM clear signal), a detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590, a detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591, a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154, a BRQ signal from the CR unit, The BRDY signal, CR connection signal, main payment ACK signal from the main control board 1310 that conveys that the main control board 1310 has normally received various commands transmitted in the command transmission process described later, etc. are read and input as input information. Store in the information storage area.

Following step S550, the payout control MPU performs a timer update process (step S552). In this timer update process, the ball gummy determination time set as a determination condition when determining whether or not a ball gummy state is generated by the payout blade 589 to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is transmitted is determined. The skip determination time set when the fixed position determination of the payout blade 589 is not performed is set as the determination condition when determining whether or not the game ball in which the lower plate 202 is stored is full. When determining whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number by the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 during the full tank determination time. In addition to managing the time such as the ball out judgment time set as the judgment condition, the number of game balls received and paid out by the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 and the actual payout detection sensor 591. Judgment when determining whether to reset the inconsistency counter INCC for monitoring whether or not the game balls that do not match due to the mismatch with the number of balls detected in Inconsistency counter that is set as a condition Time management of reset judgment time is performed. For example, when the ball gadget determination time is set to 5005 ms, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 2 ms, so the ball gummy determination time is subtracted by 2 ms each time this timer update process is performed, and the subtraction result is a value. When it becomes 0, the ball gadget judgment time is accurately measured. These various determination times are stored in the time management information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as time management information.

Following step S552, the payout control MPU performs CR communication processing (step S554). In this CR communication process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, whether or not various signals (BRQ signal, BRDY signal, CR connection signal) from the CR unit are input is determined. judge. The payout control MPU exchanges various signals with the CR unit based on various signals from the CR unit. In the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM in step S530, as described above, various flags and various information stored in the various information storage areas, which are payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM. Etc. (For example, prize ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. stored in the prize ball information storage area, PRDY stored in the CR communication information storage area, etc. Information used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout (PRDY signal output setting information, etc. in which the logical state of the signal is set).

By this processing, for example, even if there is a momentary power failure or a power failure, the values of the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. at the time of power recovery are stored as payout backup information. It can be restored to the values of the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. As a result, even if the payout operation cannot be continued due to a momentary power failure or a power failure while the payout operation of the game ball is being executed by the payout device 580, the payout operation can be continued at the time of power recovery. Therefore, the game ball can be paid out to the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 without excess or deficiency. In other words, the payout control MPU momentarily stops or loses power when paying out the game ball to the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202 while exchanging various signals with the CR unit in the CR communication process. Even if the exchange of various signals is cut off and the payout of the game ball cannot be continued, the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. at the time of power recovery, etc. The value is restored to the value stored as the payout backup information, such as the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, and the inconsistency counter INCC, immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. Immediately before a power outage or power failure, the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit can continue exchanging various signals from the time of power recovery, and can continue to pay out game balls. ing.

In this way, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit is restored to the state immediately before the momentary power stop or stop even if the power is restored. Therefore, various signals by the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit do not change due to the influence of the momentary power failure or stoppage. Therefore, it is possible to improve the reliability of the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit.

Further, various information stored in the CR communication information storage area is included in the payout backup information. In the CR communication process, the PRDY signal output setting information is read from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM set in the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM at the time of power recovery. When the read PRDY signal output setting information is set to the logical state of the PRDY signal that conveys, for example, that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, the PRDY signal is paid out. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the specified output port of the MPU. Then, in the retry operation monitoring process, which is performed as one of the main operation setting processes, for example, the value of the inconsistency counter INCC of the prize ball information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM included in the payout backup information. Based on, it is determined whether or not the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is smaller than the inconsistency threshold value INCTH, and when the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is not smaller than the inconsistency threshold value INCTH, the retry operation is abnormal operation. In other words, it is determined that the payout operation of the game ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state, a value 1 is set in the retry error flag RTERR-FLG, and the payout ball Gami movement determination setting process is performed. As a setting of the output of the error state to the CR unit, for example, the logical state (LOW) of the PRDY signal indicating that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible when not communicating with the CR unit is output as the PRDY signal. It is set in the setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area.

As a result, in the CR communication processing, the logical state of this PRDY signal is read from the CR communication information storage area by the next timer interrupt from the time of power recovery, and the PRDY signal is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU. Outputs to the CR unit. In this way, for example, if the payout operation of the game ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state immediately before the momentary power failure, that state is restored when the power is restored, so that it is extremely early after the power is restored. At the stage, a PRDY signal indicating that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible can be output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU, and the payout device 580 can be output to the CR unit. It is possible to convey that the payout operation of the game ball is in an abnormal state. As a result, it is possible to prevent BRDY, which is a useless ball lending request signal, from being output from the CR unit at an extremely early stage after the power is restored.

Further, in the CR communication process, in the port input process of step S550, the CR connection signal is read from the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and based on this CR connection signal, the logic is HI, that is, the pachinko machine. When 1 is turned on and the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are electrically connected, PRDY is used to convey that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is possible. While the logic state of the signal is output as HI from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU to the CR unit, when the logic is LOW, that is, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. When the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are not electrically connected, the payout control MPU is set to the logical state of the PRDY signal as LOW in order to convey that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the specified output port of. The logical state of the EXS signal for notifying that one payout operation has started or ended is stored in the CR communication information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as EXS signal output setting information, and is stored with the payout control board 633. The CR connection signal that conveys whether or not the CR unit is electrically connected is stored in the state information storage area as CR connection information.

Following step S554, the payout control MPU performs a full tank and out-of-ball check process (step S556). In this full tank and out of ball check process, the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, the game ball in which the above-mentioned lower plate 202 is stored by the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154. The number of balls of the game ball taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 described above by the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 becomes a predetermined number or more. It is judged whether or not it is. For example, it is determined from the full tank detection sensor 154 in the current full tank and out of ball check process by using the timer interrupt cycle 2 ms to determine whether or not the lower plate 202 is full in the stored game ball. When the detection signal is ON and the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and ball out check process, that is, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is changed from OFF to ON. When the transition occurs, the time counting of the full tank determination time described above is started in the timer update process of step S552. Then, when the full tank determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the full tank determination time is reached, is the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 ON in this full tank and out-of-ball check process? Judge whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is ON, the full tank information indicating that the lower plate 202 is full in the stored game ball is stored in the above-mentioned state information storage area. do. On the other hand, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF, the full tank information indicating that the lower plate 202 is not full in the stored game ball is stored in the state information storage area.

Whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number is also determined by using the timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms to check for full tank and out of balls this time. When the detection signal from the out-of-ball switch is turned on, and the detection signal from the out-of-ball switch is turned off in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and out-of-ball check processing, that is, the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 574 is When the transition from OFF to ON is performed, the timer update process in step S552 starts the time counting of the ball-out determination time described above. Then, when the ball-out determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the ball-out determination time is reached, is the detection signal from the ball-out detection sensor 574 ON in this full tank and ball-out check process? Judge whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 is ON, it is assumed that the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or more than a predetermined number, and the ball breaks to that effect. While the information is stored in the state information storage area, when the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 is OFF, it is assumed that the number of balls of the game ball taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not more than a predetermined number. The ball-out information that conveys that fact is stored in the state information storage area.

Following step S556, the payout control MPU performs command reception processing (step S558). In this command reception process, various commands (prize ball command and self-check command) related to payout from the main control board 1310 are received. When these various commands are normally received, the payer ACK information to that effect is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area. On the other hand, when various commands cannot be received normally, a connection abnormality is transmitted to indicate that an abnormality has occurred in the connection between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 (an abnormality has occurred in various command signals). Information is stored in the state information storage area described above.

Following step S558, the payout control MPU performs command analysis processing (step S560). In this command analysis process, the command received in step S558 is analyzed, and the analyzed command is stored in the received command information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as received command information.

Following step S560, the payout control MPU performs the main operation setting process (step S562). In this main motion setting process, motion settings such as prize balls, lending balls, ball pulling and ball shavings are set, retry motions are determined, and the number of unpaid balls (prize ball stock number) is monitored. ..

Following step S562, the payout control MPU performs LED display data creation processing (step S564). In this LED display data creation process, various information is read from the above-mentioned state information storage area, display data to be displayed on the error LED display of the payout control board 633 is created, and the display data is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area as LED display information. do. For example, when the above-mentioned ball-out information is read from the state information storage area and the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not more than a predetermined number based on this ball-out information, the corresponding ball-out information is dealt with. Display data (in this embodiment, display value 1 (number "1")) is created and the LED display information is stored in the output information storage area.

Following step S564, the payout control MPU performs a command transmission process (step S566). In this command transmission process, various information is read from the above-mentioned state information storage area, and various commands (frame state 1 command, error release navigation command, and frame state 2 command) classified into status displays are created based on the various information. Then, it is transmitted to the main control board 1310. For example, when the ball-out information is read from the state information storage area, the frame state 1 is obtained when the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not equal to or more than a predetermined number based on the ball-out information. A command is created and sent to the main control board 1310.

Following step S566, the payout control MPU sets the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S568). By setting the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, the value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value B set in step S546. As a result, the value A, the value B, and the value C are set in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and the watchdog timer is set to clear.

Following step S568, returning to step S539 again, the payout control MPU sets a value A in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL, determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input in step S540, and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input, and this power failure warning. If there is no signal input, it is determined in step S542 whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, and when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when 2 ms has elapsed, step S544 In, the value 0 is set in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG, the value B is set in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL in step S546, the port output process is performed in step S548, the port input process is performed in step S550, and step S552. Performs timer update processing in step S554, CR communication processing in step S554, full tank and ball out check processing in step S556, command reception processing in step S558, command analysis processing in step S560, and step S562. The main operation setting process is performed, the LED display data creation process is performed in step S564, the command transmission process is performed in step S566, the value C is set in the watch dock timer clear register HWCL in step S568, and steps S539 to S568 are repeated. conduct. The processing of steps S539 to S568 is referred to as "payout control unit main processing".

The processing content of the payout control unit main processing differs depending on the progress of the game by the main control board 1310. Therefore, the time required for processing the payout control MPU will fluctuate. Therefore, in the port output process of step S548, the payout control MPU preferentially outputs a payer ACK signal indicating that various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received to the main control board 1310. There is. As a result, the payout control MPU secures the processing time so that other variable processing can be sufficiently performed.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S540, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt prohibition setting (step S570). By this setting, the timer interrupt process of the payout control unit, which will be described later, is not performed, the writing to the payout control built-in RAM is prevented, and the above-mentioned rewriting of the payout information is protected.

Following step S570, the payout control MPU stops the output of the drive signal to the payout motor 584 (step S574). As a result, the payout of the game ball is stopped.

Following step S574, the payout control MPU sets the watchdog timer to clear (step S576). As described above, this clear setting is performed by setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL.

Following step S576, the payout control MPU calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S578). For this checksum, the payout information of the work area of the payout control built-in RAM excluding the storage area of the checksum value calculated in step S524 and the value of the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is regarded as a numerical value, and the total is calculated.

Following step S578, the payout control MPU sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to a value of 1 (step S580). This completes the storage of the payout backup information.

Following step S580, the payout control MPU sets the prohibition of access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S582). By this setting, access to the payout control built-in RAM is prohibited, writing and reading become impossible, and the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is protected.

Following step S582, the payout control MPU enters an infinite loop. In this infinite loop, the watchdog timer is not set to clear because the value A, the value B, and the value C are not set in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL. Therefore, the payout control MPU is reset, and then the payout control unit power-on processing is performed again. The process of steps S570 to S582 and the infinite loop are referred to as "payout control unit power cutoff process".

The pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) is reset when there is a power failure or when there is a momentary power failure, and when the power is restored thereafter, the payout control unit power-on processing is performed.

In step S526, it is inspected whether or not the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is normal, and then in step S528, whether or not the payout control unit power cutoff process is normally completed. Is inspecting. In this way, by double-checking the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM, it is inspected whether or not the payout backup information is stored by fraudulent activity.

[22-2. Payout control unit timer interrupt processing]
Next, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described. This payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (2 ms in this embodiment) set in the payout control unit power-on time process shown in FIGS. 216 to 218.

When the payout control unit timer interrupt process is started, the payout control MPU sets the timer interrupt to disabled and switches (saves) the register as shown in FIG. 219 (step S590). Here, the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) used in the above-mentioned payout control unit main processing is switched to the auxiliary register. By using this auxiliary register in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing, the value of the general-purpose register is not overwritten. This prevents the contents of the general-purpose register used in the main processing of the payout control unit from being destroyed.

Following step S590, the payout control MPU sets the value 1 in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG (step S592). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that clocks 2 ms every time the payout control unit timer interrupt process is performed, that is, every 2 ms, and the value is 1 when 2 ms has elapsed and 0 when 2 ms has not elapsed. Each is set.

Following step S592, the payout control MPU switches (returns) the register (step S594). This return switches from the auxiliary register used in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing to the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register). By using this general-purpose register in the payout control unit main processing, the value of the auxiliary register is not overwritten. This prevents the contents of the auxiliary register used in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing from being destroyed.

Following step S594, the payout control MPU sets interrupt enable (step S596) and ends this routine.

[23. Various control processes for peripheral control boards]
Next, various processes of the peripheral control board 1510 that receives various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) will be described with reference to FIGS. 220 to 224. FIG. 220 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power-on processing, FIG. 221 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 222 shows an example of peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing. FIG. 223 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and FIG. 224 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing. First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing will be described. .. In the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing is set to the highest priority as the interrupt processing, followed by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit. It is set in the order of V blank interrupt processing.

As described above, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 (hereinafter, may be referred to as “peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510”) includes a CPU, RAM, VDP, VRAM, a sound source, a SATA controller, and a SATA controller. Various I / O interfaces and the like are integrated on one semiconductor chip.

[23-1. Peripheral control unit power-on processing]
First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. 220. When the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the peripheral control unit power-on processing is performed as shown in FIG. 220 under the control of the CPU of the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control unit power-on processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the initial setting processing (step S1000). In this initial setting process, a process of initializing the peripheral control IC itself, a process of determining hot start / cold start, a process of setting a wait timer after reset, a process of transferring various control information (peripheral data), etc. I do. The CPU of the peripheral control IC first performs the process of initializing the peripheral control IC itself, but the time required for the process of initializing the peripheral control IC is on the order of microseconds (μs), and the peripheral control IC takes an extremely short time. Can be initialized. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is in a state in which interrupt permission is set, so that, for example, in the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described later, a command related to control of the game effect output from the main control board 1310. And various commands such as commands related to the state of the pachinko machine 1 can be received.

Following step S1000, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the current time information acquisition process (step S1002). In this current time information acquisition process, calendar information for specifying the date and time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second are acquired from the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown), and the current time information is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. Set calendar information and current time information.

In the present embodiment, the CPU of the peripheral control IC acquires the calendar information and the time information from the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC only once when the power is turned on. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to an external WDT (not shown) after performing this current time information acquisition process so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1002, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sets the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG (step S1004). This V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing described later, and has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, and the peripheral control unit steady processing. Is set to a value of 0 when is not executed. The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a V blank signal input from the VDP of the peripheral control IC to indicate that the screen data (information defining the screen configuration) from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted. The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is executed when the data is executed. In this step S1004, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is initialized once by setting the value 0 to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after setting the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1004, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 (step S1006). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not a value 1 (value is 0), the process returns to step S1006 again to see if the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1. Whether or not it is repeatedly determined. By repeating such a determination, it becomes a state of waiting until the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after determining whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset. ing.

In the determination of step S1006, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing, the CPU of the peripheral control IC first sets the flag SP-FLG during steady processing. The value 1 is set (step S1008). The steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is set to a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed, and to a value of 0 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is completed.

Following step S1008, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs a 1 ms interrupt timer activation process (step S1010). In this 1 ms interrupt timer activation process, the 1 ms interrupt timer for executing the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is activated, and the number of times the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated and the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed. The 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN for counting is set to a value of 1, and the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is also initialized. The 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing.

Following step S1010, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the effect operation unit monitoring process (step S1014). In this effect operation unit monitoring process, the first rotation detection sensor 347, the second rotation detection sensor 348, and the press detection provided in the effect operation unit 300 in the effect operation unit information acquisition process in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later. The rotation (rotation direction) of the contact operation unit 302 and the rotation (rotation direction) of the contact operation unit 302 based on the detection signals from various detection sensors such as the sensor 381 and the elevating detection sensor 382 (hereinafter, referred to as "various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300"). Various information acquired from the operation of the pressing operation unit 303 (for example, rotation (rotation direction) history information of the contact operation unit 302 created based on detection signals from various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300, and pressing operation. Based on the RAM of the peripheral control IC in which the operation history information of the unit 303 is set, the rotation direction of the contact operation unit 302 and the presence / absence of operation of the pressing operation unit 303 are monitored, and the rotation direction and pressing of the contact operation unit 302 are monitored. It is appropriately determined whether or not the operation state of the operation unit 303 is reflected in the game effect. Specifically, if the volume is adjusted by the effect operation unit information acquisition process, the schedule data for sound generation is rewritten according to the adjusted volume, and if the brightness is adjusted, the light emission mode is adjusted according to the adjusted brightness. Rewrite the schedule data for generation. As a result, the adjustment of the volume and the brightness is reflected in real time, and the production proceeds with the adjusted volume and the brightness.

The CPU of the peripheral control IC also performs a lamp pallet setting process as one process of the effect operation unit monitoring process. In the lamp pallet setting process, the brightness of the LED used as direct light and the brightness of the LED used as indirect light are determined based on the lamp pallet setting table composed of the specified brightness value, the normal pallet value, and the special pallet value. Are set respectively. While the production is in progress, the lamp pallet setting process is executed, and the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) operates the production operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) to perform the first operation. When one brightness specified value ranging from the brightness specified value to the 31st brightness specified value, which is the maximum brightness, is set, the above-mentioned floor set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC so as to be the set brightness specified value. The key information can be updated.

Here, the luminance specified value, the normal palette value, and the special palette value constituting the lamp palette setting table will be briefly described. As the luminance designation value, one luminance designation value can be set in a range of 32 steps from the 0th (zero) luminance designation value which is the minimum luminance (off) to the 31st luminance designation value which is the maximum luminance. It is a value that can be set, and the normal palette value and the special palette value, which will be described later, are set in advance corresponding to the 0th (zero) luminance designated value to the 31st luminance designated value. The player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) operates the operable effect operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) to obtain the 31st luminance which is the maximum luminance from the 1st luminance designated value. It is possible to set one specified brightness value up to the specified value.

For example, a player (or a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall) specifies a 0th (zero) brightness in which the current brightness is tentatively the minimum brightness (turns off) when the contact operation unit 302 is rotated clockwise. When it is set to the first luminance specified value, which is the next highest brightness level after the value, a predetermined formula (for example, linear) from the first luminance specified value to the 31st luminance designated value which is the maximum luminance. Along the tone curve (or spline curve tone curve), the brightness of the LED used as indirect light and the brightness of the LED used as direct light are changed so as to increase, while the contact operation unit 302 is counteracted. When the current brightness is set to the maximum brightness in the case of rotating clockwise, a predetermined formula (for example, linear) from the 31st brightness specified value, which is the maximum brightness, to the first brightness specified value. The brightness of the LED used as indirect light and the brightness of the LED used as direct light are changed to be low along the tone curve (or a spline curve-like tone curve). When the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) rotates the contact operation unit 302 to select a desired brightness and presses the pressing operation unit 303, the selected desired brightness is determined. In this embodiment, a case where the player (or a clerk of a game hall clerk or the like) can set the brightness while the production is in progress is prepared in advance, and at this time, the player (or the clerk of the game hall) can set the brightness. Etc.) can set the desired brightness by operating the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. Further, when a player (or a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall) operates the contact operation unit 302 at a predetermined position in the display area of the effect display device 1600 while the effect is in progress, the first brightness designated value to the 31st brightness are obtained. By displaying a bar-shaped indicator indicating the position up to the specified value, it is possible to visually show as an image how much the desired brightness of the player (or a clerk such as a clerk of the game hall) is. You can do it. Further, in the present embodiment, the 14th luminance designated value is set as the initial value (default).

The normal palette value is set as the above-mentioned gradation information by the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative boards provided on the game board side and various decorative boards provided on the door frame side, which are directly irradiated with light. be. As the normal pallet value, one of 17 steps is selected in 5% increments from the minimum pallet value (20%), which is the minimum value, to the maximum pallet value (100%), which is the maximum value. A mathematical formula (for example, a linear tone curve) in which one brightness designation and the corresponding palette value are predetermined in a range of 32 steps from the specified value of the 0th (zero) brightness designation to the 31st brightness designation value. , Or a spline curve tone curve).

The minimum pallet value (20%) is the maximum pallet value corresponding to one luminance designation in the range of 32 steps from the 0th (zero) luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value which is the above-mentioned luminance designation value. It is a value of 20% with respect to (100%), and similarly, the value (%) described in parentheses is the 0th (zero) luminance specified value, which is the above-mentioned luminance designated value, in the other palette values. It is a value for the maximum palette value (100%) corresponding to one luminance designation in the range of 32 steps up to the 31st luminance designation value.

In the present embodiment, the maximum pallet value (100%) is selected in advance for the normal pallet value with respect to various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side, which are irradiated with direct light. Of the various decorative boards provided on the game board side that are set as the gradation information described above and are directly irradiated as light, the palette is applied to a specific decorative board (LED that is dazzling to the player) that is not shown. A value (50%) is selected in advance and set as the gradation information described above.

The special palette value is set as the above-mentioned gradation information of the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates used for the light guide plate irradiated as indirect light. Unlike the normal palette value, the special palette value has only one step, and is one of the 32 steps in the range from the 0th (zero) luminance specified value to the 31st luminance specified value, which is the above-mentioned luminance specified value. The luminance designation and the corresponding palette value are set as the above-mentioned gradation information according to a predetermined mathematical formula (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline curve tone curve).

As described above, if the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is the same as the brightness of the LED used as direct light, the indirect light from the light guide plate becomes darker than the direct light. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is set by using a special palette value instead of using the normal palette value set for the brightness of the LED used as direct light. The state in which the light guide plate emits light by indirect light can be visually recognized as the first luminance specified value, which is the next highest luminance level after the 0th (zero) luminance specified value, which is the minimum luminance (off). As the lowest possible brightness, the normal palette value is set to a value almost equal to the 18th brightness specified value when the maximum palette value (100%) is set, and the range from the 1st brightness specified value to the 31st brightness specified value. Of these, one luminance designated value and a corresponding palette value are set according to a predetermined mathematical formula (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline curved tone curve).

As described above, in the lamp pallet setting process, the brightness of the LED used as direct light and the LED used as indirect light are based on the lamp pallet setting table composed of the specified brightness value, the normal pallet value, and the special pallet value. With respect to the brightness of the LED used as direct light when setting the brightness of each, the player (or a staff member such as a clerk of a game hall) operates the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. While it is set according to the normal palette value corresponding to the specified value, the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) touches the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit with respect to the brightness of the LED used as indirect light. It is set according to the special palette value corresponding to the luminance specified value by the operation of 303. As a result, when the player feels that the brightness of the LED used as direct light is dazzling and the player operates and sets the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 in order to reduce the brightness, the direct light is used. The brightness of the LED used is set to the minimum brightness (that is, the first brightness specified value that is the next highest brightness level after the 0th (zero) brightness specified value that is the minimum brightness (lights out)), and is linked to this. Therefore, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is also set to the lowest brightness (that is, the first brightness specified value at which the brightness is the next highest after the 0th (zero) brightness specified value which is the minimum brightness (turning off)). Even so, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is set to a value substantially equal to the 18th brightness specified value when the normal palette value is set to the maximum palette value (100%). The minimum brightness is set so that the state in which the light guide plate is emitting light by indirect light can be visually recognized.

In addition, the programmer who designs the light emission mode individually determines the brightness of the various LEDs mounted on the various decorative boards provided on the game board side and the various decorative boards provided on the door frame side with respect to the LEDs used as direct light. Even if you do not set it, you can set the light emission mode according to the flow of the effect, and the flow of the effect by the light emission mode of various LEDs mounted on the various decorative boards provided on the game board side and the various decorative boards provided on the door frame side. After seeing, set the normal palette value to a small palette value (for example, 50%) for a specific decorative substrate that is too dazzling (or a slightly darker brightness is more effective), and other By setting the normal pallet value to the maximum pallet value (100%) for the decorative substrate, the balance of the overall light emission mode can be changed extremely easily. That is, the player (or a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall) operates the operable effect operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302, pressing operation unit 303) to obtain the maximum brightness from the first brightness specified value. Even if one luminance specified value is set up to the luminance specified value, a small palette value (for example, 50%) corresponding to the one luminance specified value is set for a specific decorative substrate. Since one brightness specified value and the corresponding maximum palette value (100%) are set for each of the other decorative substrates, the relationship between the light emission modes set mutually (bright or dark). It is possible to adjust the brightness extremely easily without breaking the relationship).

Further, although it is difficult to adjust the brightness of the indirect light by the light guide plate as compared with the direct light, the special palette value different from the normal palette value (that is, independent of the normal palette value) for the LED used as the indirect light. The brightness can be set by. As a result, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is controlled by the special palette value, and the brightness of the LED used as direct light is controlled by the normal palette value. Therefore, the LED used as indirect light. The brightness of the LED and the brightness of the LED used as direct light can be easily adjusted.

In the display data output process, when drawing that exceeds the drawing capacity of the VDP of the peripheral control IC is performed, the output of the generated drawing data for one screen (one frame) is canceled. There is. As a result, it is possible to prevent a delay in the processing time, but although so-called frame dropping occurs, the top center speaker, the top side speaker, and the main body frame speaker of the main body frame 4 by the sound data output processing described later will occur.

It updates the pointer to the data and updates the pointer each time it executes its own processing. That is, since the drive data instructed by the pointer updated in the motor and solenoid drive processing is forcibly updated in the scheduler update processing, the pointer is originally instructed in the motor and solenoid drive processing for some reason. Even if another drive data is instructed from the drive data that should be instructed, the drive data that should be originally instructed in the scheduler update process is forcibly updated.

Then, the amplified production sound and notification sound are serialized and output as audio data. That is, as for the sound actually flowing from the top center speaker and the top side speaker on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker for bass of the main body frame 4, only the maximum volume notification sound flows. At this time, since the production sound is muted, the production sound is generated as described above, although it does not flow from the top center speaker and the top side speaker on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker for bass of the main body frame 4. It is proceeding according to the schedule data.

In the present embodiment, the notification sound flows from the top center speaker and the top side speaker on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker for the bass of the main body frame 4 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds). After a lapse of a predetermined period, the volume of the effect sound that has been progressing according to the sound generation schedule data forcibly set to mute is set as the sub-volume value of the board volume adjusted by rotating the volume adjustment switch. It is set again (at this time, if the volume of the effect sound is adjusted by operating the contact operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300, the sub-volume value of the adjusted effect sound is set. (Set), the top center speaker and top side speaker on the door frame 3 side, and the main body frame speaker for bass of the main body frame 4 are made to flow.

In this way, when the production sound is flowing from the top center speaker and the top side speaker on the door frame 3 side and the main body frame speaker for the bass of the main body frame 4, a malfunction occurs in the pachinko machine 1 or the pachinko machine 1 is dealt with. When the notification sound is played to notify the clerk of the hall of the fraudulent activity, the volume of the production sound is muted and the notification sound is for the top center speaker and top side speaker on the door frame 3 side and the bass of the main body frame 4. Although it flows from the main body frame speaker, this muted production sound progresses according to the sound generation schedule data, so that the notification sound has passed for a predetermined period, and the top center speaker and top side speaker on the door frame 3 side, and so on. When the bass frame speaker of the main body frame 4 stops flowing, the production sound does not start to flow again from the place where the notification sound starts to flow, but the schedule data for sound generation until the time when the notification sound starts to flow and a predetermined period elapses. It starts to flow again from the place where it progressed according to.

In addition, the notification sound and notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the rotation operation of the volume adjustment switch, and the CPU of the peripheral control IC peripherally controls the volume from mute to the maximum volume by a program. The sound source of the IC can be controlled and adjusted. The volume adjusted by this program can be smoothly changed from mute to maximum volume. For example, even when a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall rotates the volume control switch to set the volume low, the production sounds such as music and sound effects played from various speakers are reduced, but the pachinko machine 1 is used. When a problem has occurred or when the player is cheating, a notification sound set to a loud volume (maximum volume in this embodiment) can be played. Therefore, even if the volume of the effect sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the staff such as the clerk of the game hall from becoming less likely to notice the occurrence of a problem or the fraudulent act of the player due to the notification sound.

Following step S1032, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs a backup process (step S1034). In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are copied to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC for backup, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are provided in the SDRAM. Copy to the backup area for routine processing and back up.

Following step S1034, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the WDT clear process (step S1036). In this WDT clear process, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1036, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sets the value 0 in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as the execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing is completed (step S1038), returns to step S1004 again, and detects the V blank signal. The value 0 is set in the flag VB-FLG and initialized, and the determination in step S1006 is repeated until the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later. That is, in step S1006, the process waits until the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, and when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, steps S1008 to step S1006. The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1004 again. As described above, when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, the processes of steps S1008 to S1038 are performed. The processing of steps S1008 to S1038 is referred to as "peripheral control unit steady processing".

In this peripheral control unit steady processing, first, it is assumed that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed in step S1008, and the value 1 is set in the steady processing flag SP-FLG. In step S1010, the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing is started. Then, each process of step S1014, ..., And step S1036 is performed, and finally, when the value 0 is set in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as the execution completion of the peripheral control unit steady processing in step S1038, the process is completed. Become. Peripheral control unit steady processing is executed when the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 in step S1006. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted from the VDP of the peripheral control IC to the peripheral control IC. The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is executed when the data is input to the CPU. In the present embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps per second, so that the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33. It is .3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed approximately every 33.3 ms.

[23-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is executed when a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted is input from the VDP of the peripheral control IC. Will be explained. When the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, as shown in FIG. 221 (step S1045). As described above, the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing in steps S1008 to S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 220 is being executed, and the peripheral control unit steady state. The value is set to 0 when the processing is completed.

In the determination of step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the steady processing flag SP-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed, this is as it is. End the routine. On the other hand, in the determination in step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady processing has been executed, the V blank signal detection flag VB. -Set the value 1 to FLG (step S1050) and end this routine. As described above, this V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing, and has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. The value is set to 0 when the steady processing is not executed.

In the present embodiment, in the determination of step S1045, it is determined whether or not the constant processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit stationary processing has been executed, and the peripheral control unit stationary processing is executed. When completed, the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in step S1050, but this is because the V blank signal is input while the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed. When the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, the peripheral control unit steady processing currently being executed is assumed to be executed in the determination of step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 220. Since the processing is forcibly canceled in the middle and the peripheral control unit steady processing is started from the beginning, in order to prevent this, step S1008 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) in FIG. 220. By setting the value 1 to the flag SP-FLG during steady processing in, the peripheral control unit stationary processing is being executed, which is notified to the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, and the peripheral control in FIG. 220. Peripheral control unit, which is this routine, indicates that the peripheral control unit steady processing has been executed by setting the value 0 to the flag SP-FLG during steady processing in step S1038 in the unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing). By transmitting to the V-blank signal interrupt processing, whether or not the flag SP-FLG during steady processing in the determination of step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V-blank signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, has a value of 0, that is, the peripheral control unit steady processing. Is designed to determine whether or not the execution has been completed. In other words, it is a measure when the peripheral control unit steady processing cannot be completed by the time the V blank signal is input and the next V blank signal is input, so that the processing fails.

As a result, in the peripheral control unit steady processing this time, if the processing cannot be completed in about 33.3 ms and the processing fails, the next time is determined by step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 220. It will be in a state of waiting until the V blank signal of is input. That is, the time for executing the current peripheral control unit steady processing that has failed the processing is about 66.6 ms. Normally, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is repeatedly executed every time the 1ms interrupt timer is activated by starting the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) of FIG. 220. Is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady processing, but if the peripheral control unit steady processing of this time that the above-mentioned processing failed exists, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is 64 times. It is designed to be executed only 32 times. That is, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which is the timer interrupt control, is consistent. It is designed not to collapse. Therefore, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, the progress state of the effect can be reliably matched.

[23-3. Peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing that is repeatedly executed every time the 1ms interrupt timer is generated by the activation of the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 220 will be described. .. When the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 times as shown in FIG. 222 (step S1100). As described above, the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is determined by the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 220, in which the 1ms interrupt timer is activated in this routine. A peripheral control unit 1ms timer A counter that counts the number of times interrupt processing is executed. In the present embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps per second, so that the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33. It is .3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed approximately every 33.3 ms, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process, the next peripheral control unit steady process is performed. Is executed, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed only 32 times. Specifically, when the 1 ms timer interrupt is activated in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt is generated first, the second, ..., And the 32nd 1 ms timer interrupt is sequentially performed. It will occur.

In the determination of step S1100, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than 33 times, that is, the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. When it is determined, this routine is terminated as it is. When the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is the peripheral control unit V as the priority of the interrupt processing. Although it is set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is the signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, when the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal. , The start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled in order to execute the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing. Then, after the 1ms interrupt timer is restarted in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing due to the generation of the first 1ms timer interrupt is newly started. ing.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1100, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33, the CPU of the peripheral control IC adds a value of 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN (increment, step S1102). By adding the value 1 to the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN, the 1ms interrupt timer is activated by the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 220. The number of times the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which is this routine, is executed is increased by one time.

Following step S1102, a motor and solenoid drive process is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive processing, the pointer indicates among the drive data of the electric drive sources such as the motor and the solenoid arranged in time series constituting the electric drive source schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. According to the drive data to be driven, an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid is driven, the pointer is updated to the next drive data specified in time series, and the pointer is updated each time the motor or solenoid drive process is executed. do. As a result, an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid managed by the CPU of the peripheral control IC (for example, an electric drive source provided in the door frame 3 or an electric drive source provided in various production units provided in the game board 5) or the like. ) Is driven according to the electrical drive source schedule data.

Following step S1104, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the movable body information acquisition process (step S1106). In this movable body information acquisition process, the history information of the detection signals from the various sensors (for example, the original) is determined by determining whether or not the detection signals from the various sensors provided in the various production units provided in the game board 5 are input. (Position history information, movable position history information, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. The CPU of the peripheral control IC is the original position (standby position) of various movable bodies provided in the various production units provided in the game board 5 based on the history information of the detection signals from the various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. By setting or acquiring the movable position, the movable position can be grasped.

Following step S1106, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the effect operation unit information acquisition process (step S1108). In this effect operation unit information acquisition process, the history information of the detection signals from the various sensors (for example, the contact operation unit) is determined by determining whether or not the detection signals from the various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300 are input. The rotation (rotation direction) history information of 302, the operation history information of the pressing operation unit 303, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. Whether or not the contact operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303 is operated can be acquired from the history information of the detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, by operating the effect operation unit 301, the volume of the effect sound output from the top center speaker, the top side speaker, and the main body frame speaker of the main body frame 4 can be adjusted, or the door frame can be adjusted. It is possible to adjust the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative boards provided in 3 and the game board 5.

Following step S1108, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs a backup process (step S1110) and ends this routine. In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are copied to the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC and backed up, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are transferred to the SDRAM. Copy to the backup area for 1ms timer interrupt processing provided and back up. In this embodiment, the 1 ms timer interrupt processing backup area provided in the peripheral control IC RAM and the steady processing backup area provided in the peripheral control IC RAM are set in different areas and are set to SDRAM. The 1 ms timer interrupt processing backup area provided in the SDRAM and the steady processing backup area provided in the SDRAM are set in different areas.

As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, various processes related to the effect of steps S1104 to S1108 are executed as the progress of the effect within the period of 1 ms. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 220, various processes related to the production of steps S1014 to S1032 are executed as the progress of the production within a period of about 33.3 ms. There is. In the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, when the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than the value 33 in step S1100, that is, when the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. Since this routine is terminated as it is, even if the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, the peripheral control unit due to this 33rd 1ms timer interrupt Peripheral control by forcibly canceling the start of the 1ms timer interrupt processing, restarting the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, and then newly generating the 1ms timer interrupt. Part 1ms Timer interrupt processing is started. That is, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which is the timer interrupt control, is not broken. Therefore, it is possible to surely match the progress state of the production.

Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output varies slightly depending on the liquid crystal size of the effect display device 1600, and the V blank signal is also generated in the production lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control IC is mounted. The output interval may change slightly. In the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, peripheral control is performed. The start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled in order to execute the unit V blank interrupt processing. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes slightly, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. It is possible to absorb the time lag due to a slight change in the interval at which the V-blank signal is output.

[23-4. Peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 will be described. When various commands from the main control board 1310 are started to be transmitted as serial data, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sends the main peripheral serial data to 1 byte (8 bits) at the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC. ) Is fetched into the receive buffer, and when this fetch is completed, an interrupt is generated as a trigger, and peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is performed. In the main peripheral serial data, one packet is composed of 3 bytes, the status is assigned as the 1st byte, the mode is assigned as the 2nd byte, and the status and mode are regarded as numerical values as the 3rd byte, and the total thereof. The calculated sum value is assigned.

When the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the 1-byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 223 (step S1200). This 1-byte reception period timer sets a period during which 1-byte (8-bit) information of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 can be received.

In the determination of step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC inputs 1 byte (8 bits) of information in the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out. When it is determined that the data is within the receivable period, the 1-byte information received from the reception buffer of the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC is fetched (step S1202), and the value 1 is added (incremented) to the reception counter SRXC. Step S1204). This reception counter SRXC is a counter indicating the number of times the data is fetched from the receive buffer, and when the status which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data is fetched from the receive buffer, the value is 1, and the mode which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data is set. When it is taken out from the receive buffer, it becomes a value 2, and when the sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data is taken out from the receive buffer, it becomes a value 3. The initial value 0 of the reception counter SRXC is set when the power is turned on or the like.

Following step S1204, it is determined whether or not the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, whether or not the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, has been fetched from the receive buffer (step S1206). In this determination, following the status that is the first byte of the main circumference serial data, the mode that is the second byte of the main circumference serial data, and the sum value that is the third byte of the main circumference serial data are sequentially input from the receive buffer. It is determined whether or not it has been taken out.

In the determination of step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is in a mode in which the reception counter SRXC is not a value 3, that is, following the status of the first byte of the main frequency serial data, the CPU is still the second byte of the main frequency serial data. When it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, has not been sequentially fetched from the receive buffer, the 1-byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine is terminated. By setting the 1-byte reception period timer in step S1208, the mode in which the second byte of the main cycle serial data or the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data can be received is set.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines when the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, in the second byte of the main peripheral serial data following the status which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data. When it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main circuit serial data, is sequentially taken out from the receive buffer in a certain mode, the initial value 0 is set in the reception counter SRXC (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step S1210). S1212). In this calculation, the status which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data and the mode which is the second byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202 are regarded as numerical values and the total (sum value). ) Is calculated.

Following step S1212, it is determined whether or not the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already fetched from the receive buffer in step S1202, and the sum value calculated in step S1212 match (step). S1214). The thumb value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202, is the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main peripheral serial data among the main peripheral serial data from the main control board 1310. Therefore, it should match the sum value calculated in step S1212. However, in the pachinko machine 1, game balls are supplied from the island equipment of the game hall, and when the game balls rub against each other and are charged, they are electrostatically discharged and generate noise. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 is affected by noise. It is in a vulnerable environment.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, on the peripheral control board 1510 side, the status allocated as the first byte of the received main peripheral serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data are regarded as numerical values. The total (sum value) is calculated, and whether the calculated sum value matches the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main circumference serial data in the main circumference serial data from the main control board 1310. It is judged whether or not. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the main peripheral serial data has changed to the main peripheral serial data different from the normal one due to the influence of noise between the substrates of the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. It can be determined.

In the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC matches the sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202 and the sum value calculated in step S1212. When it is determined, the received status allocated as the first byte of the main peripheral serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC (step S1216). ), End this routine.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC has 1 byte (8 bits) of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out. When it is determined that the period during which information can be received has been exceeded, or in the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC has a sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202. When it is determined that the sum value calculated in step S1212 does not match, this routine is terminated as it is.

[23-5. Peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process executed when the power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 is input from the main control board 1310 will be described. When the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC first activates a 2-microsecond timer (step S1300) as shown in FIG. 224, and whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. (Step S1302). In the determination of step S1302, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has not been input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC ends this routine as it is.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1302, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed (step S1304). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the timer started in step S1300 has elapsed 2 microseconds. In the determination of step S1304, when 2 macroseconds have not elapsed, the CPU of the peripheral control IC returns to step S1302, determines whether or not the power failure warning signal has been input, and if the power failure warning signal has not been input. When it is determined, this routine is terminated as it is, and when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, it is determined again in step S1304 whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed. That is, in the determination in step S1304, it is determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is continuously input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing, which is the routine, is started.

In the determination of step S1304, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has been continuously input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is the routine, is started, the power saving process is performed. (Step S1306). In this power saving process, the power consumption of the entire system of the pachinko machine 1 is reduced by sequentially turning off the backlight of the effect display device 1600, turning off the excitation to the motor and solenoid provided in the game board 5, turning off various LEDs, and the like. By suppressing it, stable operation is ensured for a period of 20 milliseconds, which is the time during which the CPU of the peripheral control IC can operate even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off.

Following step S1306, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs command reception standby processing (step S1308). In this command reception standby process, assuming that there are various commands being transmitted by the main control board 1310, the peripheral control IC can receive the commands being transmitted for a period of at least 17 milliseconds. It is supposed to wait. When the command is received, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described above is started, and the received command is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC.

Following step S1308, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs command backup processing (step S1310). In the backup process of this command, the command stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC is copied to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC and backed up.

Following step S1310, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S1312). In the determination of step S1312, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs the WDT clear process (step S1314). In this WDT clear process, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1312, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal has not been input, or after step S1314, the CPU returns to step S1312 again to determine whether or not the power failure warning signal has been input. Is determined. That is, it is infinitely determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. By continuing the determination indefinitely in this way, the CPU of the peripheral control IC cannot output the clear signal to the external WDT when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has not been input in the determination in step S1312. While the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines in the determination of step S1312 that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs WDT clear processing in step S1314 to perform the peripheral control IC. The CPU does not reset. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset, the peripheral control unit power-on processing shown in FIG. 220 is restarted.

In this way, when the input of the power failure warning signal continues in the infinite loop according to the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear process is executed in step S1314, so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset immediately before the power failure state occurs. It is designed not to take. On the other hand, if the input of the power failure warning signal is not continued and is canceled in the infinite loop by the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear processing is not executed, so that the output of the clear signal to the external WDT is interrupted. It has become. As a result, even if the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is the routine, is erroneously started due to noise or the like, and the noise occurs for more than a period of 2 microseconds, the determination in step S1302 is passed. If the input of the power failure warning signal is not continued and is canceled in the infinite loop by the determination by S1312, the WDT clear processing in step S1314 is not executed, so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset. It is possible to deal with such noise by automatically resetting and returning.

[Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of the control process executed by the main control board 1310 (particularly the main control MPU 1310a) will be described. FIG. 225 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol and the special electric accessory control process (step S114).

Assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S106), as shown in FIG. 225, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is first driven by the first start port sensor 3002. On condition that the detection signal is in the ON state (the ball has entered the first start port 2002) (step S231), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the above random number counter and this is the first of the RAM. (I) Execute a first start port passing process such as storing in a special symbol hold storage area (step S232). Further, on condition that the detection signal by the second start port sensor 2401 is in the ON state (there is a ball entering the second start port 2004) (step S233), the second special random number of the second special symbol is the above random number. A second start port passage process such as acquiring from a counter and storing it in the second special symbol hold storage area of the RAM is executed (step S234).

Next, it is determined whether or not the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot gaming state is controlled is set (step S235), and if the jackpot executing flag is set, the jackpot gaming state is controlled. The jackpot control process (step S235A) is executed. In the jackpot control process, when the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped is a mode suggesting "15R jackpot", 15R The process of opening / closing the big winning opening 2005 is executed according to the big hit game state. Further, when the mode suggesting "5R jackpot" is executed, the process of opening / closing the big winning opening 2005 is executed according to the 5R jackpot gaming state, and when the mode suggesting "2R jackpot" is obtained. 2R A process of controlling the opening / closing of the big winning opening 2005 according to the big hit game state is executed.

Further, in the big hit control process (step S235A), after the opening control of the big winning opening 2005 is performed, each set process of the time saving flag and the time saving number counter is executed. The time saving flag is a flag indicating that the time saving state is set, and the 2R big hit game is based on the fact that the result of the lottery process when the fluctuation of the first special symbol is stopped during the time saving state is an aspect suggesting "2R big hit". It is set when ending the 5R jackpot gaming state based on the mode suggesting "5R jackpot" when ending the state, and when ending the 15R jackpot gaming state during the time-saving state and the non-time-saving state. .. Then, when the time saving flag becomes a big hit next time, or when the counter value of the time saving number counter becomes "0", the first special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. 236 described later or the second special symbol stop not shown is shown. It is reset by the process.

Further, the time reduction counter is a counter that indicates the remaining number of times of variation display of special symbols (first special symbol and second special symbol) as the number of continuations of the time reduction state, and is controlled to the time reduction state after the end of the jackpot game state. In the case, when the jackpot game state is terminated, the number of continuations of the time saving state is set. Then, the time reduction counter is counted down every time the fluctuation display of the special symbol is executed until the counter value becomes "0", but the next big hit is made before the counter value becomes "0". Occasionally, it is reset by the first special symbol stop process shown in FIG. 236 described later or the second special symbol stop process (not shown) (the counter value is returned to "0").

If the jackpot executing flag is not set, the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is "0". (Step S237), the first special symbol process process including the lottery process related to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (step S238), and the second special symbol is stored in the reserved storage area. On condition that the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of special random numbers is not "0" (step S237), the second special symbol including the lottery process relating to the display mode when the variation display of the second special symbol is stopped. The process process is executed (step S239). As described above, in this example, when the value of the second special hold number counter is not "0", the variation display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

FIG. 226 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first starting port passing process (step S232).

Now, assuming that in the process of step S231, the first start port sensor 3002 is in the ON state and it is determined that the game ball has entered the first start port 2002, as shown in FIG. 226. In addition, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first acquires the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S241.

Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 acquires a counter value by the first special hold number counter indicating the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol hold storage area from the main control built-in RAM. Based on the counter value, it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number is "4", which is the maximum value (upper limit value) (step S242). In the process of step S242, when it is determined that the first reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S243 to the following steps S243 to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S245 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S243, the first special hold number counter is counted up (added by 1). Next, as the process of step S244, each random number acquired in step S241 is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Store in.

Further, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is a display result of the variation display of the first special symbol based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variation random number acquired in step S241. Whether or not to make a big hit, if it is a big hit, the type of the big hit, if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed as the game effect executed by the effect display device 1600, or the mode type of the game effect to be executed ( After executing the effect pre-determination process for determining the pre-determination information (type of variation pattern) before starting the variation display according to the start winning prize (step S245), the process ends.

However, in the process of step S242, when it is determined that the first reserved storage number is the maximum value, the variation display control of the first special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S243 to S245, the fluctuation display control of the first special symbol is not newly put on hold.

Further, when the first hold storage number changes based on the game ball entering the first start port 2002, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the first special hold number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is stored in the first hold storage. A command (first hold number designation command 0 to 4 (special symbol 1 storage command 0 to 0)) for instructing the first hold storage number in the peripheral control board command transmission process (step S120) while updating to correspond to the number. 4)) is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the first reserved storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the first reserved number designation command 0 to 4 (special symbol 1 storage command 0 to 4). It has become like.

FIG. 227 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the effect pre-determination process (step S245). When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table (not shown) and the random numbers acquired in step S241, specifically, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, and the fluctuation. Whether or not a big hit is achieved by comparing with a random number, if it is a big hit, the type of the big hit, and if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600. The mode type of the game effect is specified (step S261).

Then, the specified pre-judgment information (whether or not it is a big hit, the type of the big hit if it is a big hit, and if it is not a big hit, the reach effect is executed or executed as a game effect executed by the effect display device 1600. Depending on the type of the game effect to be played, the type of the acquired special random number (first special random number), and the number of reserved storages (value of the pending number counter) stored corresponding to the acquired special random number. Set the pre-judgment command. For example, in the effect pre-determination process relating to the first special symbol executed in step S245 of the first start port passage process, the specified pre-determination information, the acquisition of the first special random number, and the first reserved storage number (first hold storage number). (1) The value of the special hold number counter) and the first special symbol pre-determination command according to (step S262).

Then, the pre-determination command is transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 in the peripheral control board command transmission process (step S120), so that the command is stored corresponding to the first start port 2002 in which the start winning is generated. Whether or not the display result of the variable display of the special symbol based on the generated start prize is a big hit, the type of big hit if it is a big hit, and the effect display device 1600 if it is not a big hit. Peripheral control mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 before starting the variable display according to the start winning prize, such as whether to execute the reach effect as the game effect to be executed or the mode type of the game effect to be executed. You will be able to grasp the IC.

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

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

At the time when the fluctuation display control is put on hold in this way, the jackpot expectation degree (pseudo-winning probability) of the fluctuation display control is maintained even though the fluctuation display control is maintained in the unexecuted state (holding state). ) Will be notified in advance at a predetermined timing, for example, at the time of new output of the hold display or at the time of shift display of the hold display according to the hold digestion. ..

FIG. 228 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the second starting port passing process (step S234).

Now, assuming that in the process of step S233, it is determined that the second start port sensor 2401 is in the ON state and the game ball has entered the second start port 2004, as shown in FIG. 228. In addition, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S251.

Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and the second hold storage number is the maximum value (upper limit value) based on this counter value. ) Is determined (step S252). In the process of step S252, when it is determined that the second reserved storage number is not the maximum value, the following steps S253 to the following steps S253 to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol into the pending state. The processing of S254 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S253, the second special hold number counter is counted up (added by 1). Next, as the process of step S254, each random number acquired in step S251 is stored in the second special symbol hold storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special hold number counter in the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Store in.

However, in the process of step S252, when it is determined that the second reserved storage number is the maximum value, the variation display control of the second special symbol is not newly suspended. That is, by terminating the processing without executing the processing of steps S253 to S254, the fluctuation display control of the second special symbol is not newly put on hold.

Further, when the second hold storage number changes based on the game ball entering the second start port 2004, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the second special hold number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is stored in the second hold storage. A command for instructing the second hold storage number in the peripheral control board command transmission process (step S120) (second hold number designation command 0 to 1 (special symbol 2 storage command 0 to 0)) while updating to correspond to the number. 1)) is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. The peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the second reserved storage number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the second reserved number designation command 0 to 1 (special symbol 2 storage command 0-1). It has become like.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the upper limit of the first reserved memory number based on the game ball entering the first starting port 2002 is set to "4", while the game ball is set to the second starting port 2004. The upper limit of the second reserved memory number based on the entry of the ball is set to "1". The second starting port 2004 allows a large number of game balls to enter during the time saving state, and the fluctuation time of the second special symbol is shorter than that in the normal state. Even if the upper limit is set to "1", the period in which the fluctuation display of the second special symbol is not performed continues for a long time, or the period in which the second reserved storage number is the upper limit continues for a long time, so that the second starting port 2004 is reached. Even if a game ball enters the ball, it is suppressed from being in a disadvantageous state to the player, such as not being able to obtain a chance of a big hit lottery.

FIG. 229 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process process (step S238). The first special symbol process process executed in step S238 of the special symbol process process and the second special symbol process process executed in step S239 of the special symbol process process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for determination. Since only the tables and tables are different, only the first special symbol process process executed in step S238 of the special symbol process process will be described here. In the first special symbol process process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag.

1. 1. The first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is read, and based on the read first special random number, a lottery process for displaying the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped is performed. Design normal processing (step S280)
2. 2. The first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S281) in which the process of determining the mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped is performed based on the result of the lottery process regarding the display mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped. )
3. 3. The variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 based on the variable random number, and the variation mode of the effect display executed in the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the special symbol. First fluctuation pattern setting process (step S282) in which a lottery process or the like is performed.
4. First special symbol variation processing (step S283) that waits until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is stopped.
5. The mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped, which is determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is stopped, is displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400. First special symbol stop processing (step S284) to stop the variable display of the first special symbol so as to be performed.

The first special symbol process flag is operated so as to indicate that the first special symbol normal process (step S280) should be performed in the main control side power-on processing (see FIG. 210).

FIG. 230 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol normal processing (step S280).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal processing should be performed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 230, first steps S301. As the process of, it is determined whether or not there is variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, when it is determined that there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state, it is then stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a as the process of step S302. The random number stored in the earliest storage area of the random numbers related to the display mode of the first special symbol (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the variable random number) is read from the RAM. .. Next, as the processing of steps S303 and S304, the first special hold number counter is counted down, and the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is stored in each storage area. Random numbers (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped are shifted by the first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

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

After that, as the process of step S305, a hit determination process, which is a lottery process for winning the big hit, is performed based on the first special random number of the first special symbol read out. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S281) (step S306), this process is terminated.

FIG. 231 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the hit determination process (step S305).

The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has a hit determination table shown in FIG. 232 (A) and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S302 when the first special symbol normal process is being executed, the first special random number. (Ii) When the special symbol normal processing is being executed, the comparison is made with the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal processing (step S311).

In the hit determination table shown in FIG. 232 (A), the game state is a low probability state (normal state (low probability non-time saving state)) and a time saving state (time saving state) for each type of special random number (first special random number, second special random number). It is equipped with a low-probability jackpot determination table used in the case of low-probability time-saving state)) and a high-probability jackpot determination table used in the case of high-probability gaming state (high-probability time-saving state). .. Then, in the hit determination table at the time of low probability referred to for comparison with the first special random number, it is 1/319 when the set value is 1, 1/309 when the set value is 2, and 3 when the set value is 2. In the case of 1/299, if the set value is 4, 1/289, if the set value is 5, 1/279, and if the set value is 6, the first special random number is won with a jackpot probability of 1/269. It matches the big hit judgment value indicating that it has been done, matches the big hit judgment value indicating that the first special random number has won the small hit with a small hit probability of 3/319, and the other first special random numbers are lost in the above. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the loss determination value indicating that there is. Further, in this example, in the hit determination table at the time of low probability referred to for comparison with the second special random number in the second special symbol process processing, when the set value is 1, 1/319 and the set value 2 are used. 1/309 in some cases, 1/299 in the case of set value 3, 1/289 in the case of set value 4, 1/279 in the case of set value 5, and 1/269 in the case of set value 6. It matches with the big hit judgment value indicating that the second special random number has won the big hit with the big hit probability of 144/319, and one with the small hit judgment value indicating that the second special random number has won the small hit with the small hit probability of 144/319. However, the second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the loss determination value indicating that the other second special random numbers are lost. That is, the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number has a higher probability of being determined as a small hit than the hit determination table referred for for comparison with the first special random number. And, when the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 is executed than when the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start prize to the first start port 2002 is executed. Is becoming more advantageous to the player. Further, the hit determination table at the time of high probability is configured so that the jackpot probability for each set value is increased 10 times as compared with the hit determination table at the time of low probability.

The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has the hit determination table and a special random number (the first special random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal processing, or the second special read in the second special symbol normal processing. As a result of comparison with the random number), if it is determined to be a big hit (step S312), the big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation has won the big hit is set (step S313), and the hit determination process is terminated.

Further, as a result of comparison between the selected hit determination table and the special random number (the first special random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal processing or the second special random number read in the second special symbol normal processing), When it is determined to be a small hit (step S314), the small hit flag indicating that the fluctuation has won the small hit is set (step S315), and the hit determination process is terminated.

On the other hand, when neither the big hit nor the small hit is won, that is, when it is determined that the hit is lost, the reach determination table is compared with the reach random number read in step S302 (step S316).

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

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

When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is determined to be a reach loss as a result of comparison between the selected reach determination table and the reach random number read in step S302 (step S316), the change is caused. The reach flag indicating that the reach is reached is set, and the process ends (step S318).

FIG. 233 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S281).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 233, first. The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variation display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the hit determination process (step S305) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S321) and whether or not the small hit flag is set (step S324).

If the jackpot flag is set in step S321, the main control MPU 1310a compares the first symbol random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal processing with the jackpot symbol determination table shown in FIG. 232 (B). The type of jackpot is determined in accordance with the above, and the mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined type of jackpot is determined (step S322).

In particular,
1. 1. The opening / closing pattern is closed 15 times after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when 10 game balls are won in the big winning opening 2005 by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402. (15 rounds) By repeating, the game ball is controlled to the 15R big hit game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning opening 2005, and after the big hit game state is over, the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) Until the variation display is executed 77 times, the execution period of the variation display is shortened from the usual time, and the special lottery result is drawn with a higher probability than usual. The opening / closing pattern is closed 5 times (for example, after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have won in the big winning opening 2005. By repeating (5 rounds), the game ball is controlled to the 5R big hit game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning opening 2005, and the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) changes after the big hit game state ends. Until the display is executed 77 times, the 5R time saving jackpot that shortens the execution period of the variable display than usual,
3. 3. The opening / closing pattern is closed twice (for example, after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have won in the big winning opening 2005. (2 rounds) By repeating, the game ball is controlled to the 2R big hit game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning opening 2005, and if it is controlled to the time saving state before the start of the 2R big hit game state, the big hit game state ends. After that, if the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times, it is controlled to the time saving state where it ends if it does not become a big hit, and it is not before the start of the 2R big hit game state. 2R jackpot that controls to the normal state after the end of the jackpot game state if controlled to the time saving state,
One of the three types of jackpots is decided.

If the jackpot flag is set in the second special symbol stop symbol setting process, the second symbol random number read in the second special symbol normal process is compared with the jackpot symbol determination table shown in FIG. 232 (B). The type of jackpot is determined, and the mode (stop symbol of the second special symbol) at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the second special symbol corresponding to the determined type of jackpot is determined.
In particular,
1. 1. The opening / closing pattern is closed 15 times after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when 10 game balls are won in the big winning opening 2005 by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402. (15 rounds) By repeating, the game ball is controlled to the 15R big hit game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning opening 2005, and after the big hit game state is over, the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) Until the variation display is executed 77 times, the execution period of the variation display is shortened from the usual time, and the special lottery result is drawn with a higher probability than usual. The opening / closing pattern is closed 5 times (for example, after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have won in the big winning opening 2005. By repeating (5 rounds), the game ball is controlled to the 5R big hit game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning opening 2005, and the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) changes after the big hit game state ends. Until the display is executed 77 times, the 5R time saving jackpot that shortens the execution period of the variable display than usual,
3. 3. The opening / closing pattern is closed twice (for example, after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have won in the big winning opening 2005. (2 rounds) By repeating, the game ball is controlled to the 2R big hit game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning opening 2005, and if it is controlled to the time saving state before the start of the 2R big hit game state, the big hit game state ends. After that, if the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times, it is controlled to the time saving state where it ends if it does not become a big hit, and it is not before the start of the 2R big hit game state. 2R jackpot that controls to the normal state after the end of the jackpot game state if controlled to the time saving state,
One of the three types of jackpots is decided.

In the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number, 8 judgment values are distributed in the case of a 15R probability variation jackpot, and 100 judgment values are sorted in the case of a 5R time-saving jackpot. In the case of, 92 determination values are distributed. That is, when a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, there is a 4% probability of a 15R big hit, a 50% probability of a 5R big hit, and a 46% probability of a 2R big hit. Similarly, in the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the second symbol random number, 92 judgment values are distributed in the case of a 15R probability variation jackpot, and 100 judgment values are sorted in the case of a 5R time-saving jackpot, and 2R. Eight judgment values are distributed when a big hit occurs. That is, if a lottery result that is a big hit is obtained by a lottery based on the second special random number, there is a 46% probability of a 15R probability variation big hit, a 50% probability of a 5R big hit, and a 4% probability of a 2R big hit. .. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the second symbol random number has a higher probability of being determined as a 15R probability variation jackpot than the jackpot symbol determination table compared with the first symbol random number. When the variation display of the second special symbol based on the start prize to the second start port 2004 is executed rather than the variation display of the first special symbol based on the start prize to the first start port 2002. It is in an advantageous state for the player.

Further, when the type of the jackpot is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of the jackpot is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, if it is decided to be a 2R jackpot, it is decided to be a 2R jackpot symbol as a jackpot symbol, if it is decided to be a 5R jackpot, it is decided to be a 5R jackpot symbol as a jackpot symbol, and if it is decided to be a 15R jackpot, it is a jackpot. The 15R jackpot symbol is decided as the symbol.

Further, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is read out in step S302 of the first special symbol normal processing if the small hit flag is set when the big hit flag is not set in step S131 (step S324). The type of small hit is determined by comparing the first symbol random number and the small hit symbol determination table shown in FIG. 232 (C), and when the fluctuation control of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined type of large hit is stopped. (Step S325) is determined.

In particular,
1. 1. The opening / closing pattern of opening and closing the prize winning opening 200 for a short time (for example, 80 ms) is executed twice to control the game ball into a small hit game state in which the winning opening 200 can be entered (easily). When the game ball received in the prize opening 2006 is distributed to the V winning opening 2007 and detected by the V winning opening sensor 3003, the large winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time. The game ball wins a big prize by repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times after (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the above-mentioned big prize opening sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have won a prize in the big winning opening 2005. It is controlled to the 15R jackpot game state where it is possible (easy) to enter the mouth 2005, and the change is performed until the change display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times after the end of the jackpot game state. The first small hit that controls the display execution period to a high-probability time-saving state in which the special lottery result is drawn with a higher probability than usual while shortening the display execution period. The opening / closing pattern of opening and closing the prize winning opening 200 for a short time (for example, 80 ms) is executed twice to control the game ball into a small hit game state in which the winning opening 200 can be entered (easily). When the game ball received in the prize opening 2006 is distributed to the V winning opening 2007 and detected by the V winning opening sensor 3003, after the large winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or the large winning opening 2005 By repeating the opening / closing pattern 14 times when the above-mentioned large winning opening sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have won a prize, the game ball can enter the large winning opening 2005 (easy) 15R big hit. If it is controlled to the game state and controlled to the time saving state before the start of the 15R big hit game state, the variation display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times after the end of the big hit game state. If it does not become a big hit before the big hit, it is controlled to the end time saving state, and if it is controlled to the non-time saving state before the start of the 15R big hit gaming state, it is controlled to the normal state after the big hit gaming state ends. One of the two types of small hits is decided.

In the small hit symbol determination table to be compared with the first symbol random number, 200 determination values are distributed in the case of the first small hit. That is, if a lottery result that is a small hit is obtained by a lottery based on the first special random number, there is a 100% probability that the first small hit will be obtained and the second small hit will not be won. On the other hand, in the small hit symbol determination table to be compared with the second symbol random number, 20 judgment values are distributed in the case of the first small hit, and 180 judgment values are distributed in the case of the second small hit. ing. That is, when a lottery result of a small hit is obtained by a lottery based on the second special random number, there is a 10% probability of becoming the first small hit and a 90% probability of becoming the second small hit.

Further, when the type of small hit is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of small hit is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when the first small hit is determined, the first small hit symbol is determined as the small hit symbol, and when the second small hit is determined, the second small hit symbol is determined as the small hit symbol. ..

If neither the big hit flag nor the small hit flag is set, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is determined to be an outlier symbol (step S327). Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is one of the above lottery results (type of big hit, small hit, missed reach, missed) as the process of step S328. (May indicate the mode of the stop symbol of the first special symbol)) is set to the determination result notification command according to each of the lottery results so that the peripheral control board 1510 is transmitted (step S328). ). After that, as the process of step S329, this process ends when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first variation pattern setting process (step S282).

The peripheral control unit 1511 displays and controls the effect display device 1600 based on the received determination result notification command and variation pattern command (left, middle, and right decorative symbols are variablely displayed, and the left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle. The decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the order of the decorative symbols (the left, middle, and right decorative symbols may be displayed in a variable manner in synchronization with the same symbol and stopped and displayed at the same time)). Specifically, when the peripheral control unit 1511 identifies a small hit or a 2R big hit from the received determination result notification command as an mode (stop symbol) at the time of stopping the fluctuation of the decorative symbol displayed on the effect display device 1600. Is decided as a small hit symbol ("final decisive battle"), and if a 5R short-time jackpot is specified, the 5R short-time jackpot symbol (the left, middle, and right decorative symbols are the same among the symbols "0" to "9". If the combination is determined to be an even numbered symbol and the 15R probability variation jackpot is specified, the 15R probability variation jackpot symbol (the decorative symbols on the left, middle, and right are the same odd symbol among the symbols "0" to "9". Combination) is decided. In addition, when the reach loss is specified, the missed symbol with reach (the combination of the same symbols with the left and right decorative symbols "0" to "9" but different middle decorative symbols; reach loss. If it is decided to be a design) and an outlier is specified, it is decided to be an outlier symbol without reach (a combination in which at least the left / right decorative symbol is a different symbol among the left / middle / right decorative symbols) and changes. When the variation time specified from the pattern command elapses (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed and controlled on the effect display device 1600.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, it is possible to control the variation display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) up to 77 times after the big hit game state, but the time reduction state is possible. The time saving state may be terminated based on the occurrence of a predetermined number of big hits after the transition control is performed. Specifically, if a predetermined number of big hits (for example, two times) occur after the big hit game state is controlled, the time reduction state is not controlled after the predetermined number of big hit game states are completed. , It may be controlled to the normal state. Further, even when the number of times of big hits is less than a predetermined number of times, the non-time saving state may be controlled during the big hit gaming state, and the time saving state may be controlled again after the big hit gaming state.

FIG. 234 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first fluctuation pattern setting process (step S282).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first fluctuation pattern setting process should be performed, the jackpot flag is set in the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 as shown in FIG. 234. If so (step S341), a variable pattern table (not shown) at the time of a big hit according to the type of the big hit determined in step S323 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is selected (step S342), and the small hit flag is selected. If is set and entered (step S343), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of a small hit according to the type of the small hit determined in step S325 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process is selected (step S344). If the reach flag is set (step S345), the variation pattern table at the time of reach (not shown) is selected (step S346), and if neither the jackpot flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, normal. In the case of loss (loss without executing the reach effect), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of loss is selected (step S347).

Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal processing (step S348), and the determination variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set, and variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is started (step S349). Further, the main control MPU 1310a sets the fluctuation time set corresponding to the fluctuation pattern determined to determine the fluctuation pattern in the fluctuation timer (step S350). As a result, the effect control is performed by the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600 for the fluctuation time determined in this way.

The fluctuation pattern table of this example is provided with a plurality of types for each determination result based on a special random number (first special random number, second special random number) and a symbol random number (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). Further, in the fluctuation pattern set in each fluctuation pattern table, a plurality of fluctuation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for the fluctuation display control of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is described above. It is stored in a form associated with each variable random number. Therefore, the main control MPU1310a includes the selected variation pattern table and the variation random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal processing among the plurality of types of variation pattern tables according to the determination result based on the special random number and the symbol random number. By comparing the above and acquiring the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number from this table, the fluctuation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is determined. As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the above special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The fluctuation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 1310a.

Further, in the variation pattern table at the time of reach of this example, it is set to determine the mode type of the reach effect to be executed by comparing the determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with the variable random number. .. For example, among the reach effects, the super reach effect has a higher expectation of a big hit than the normal reach effect, and when the super reach effect is executed, the player's expectation for the big hit gaming state is increased.

Further, when the variation display control of the first special symbol is started, it is determined as the process of step S351 whether or not the counter value of the time reduction counter for which the continuation number of the time reduction state is set is "0". do. Then, if this counter value is not "0", after counting down the time reduction counter (step S352), it is further determined whether or not the counter value of the simultaneous reduction counter is "0" (step S353). .. As a result, if the counter value is "0", the time saving end flag indicating that the control of the time saving state (time saving control) is terminated is set (step S354).

If it is determined in the process of step S351 that the counter value of the time reduction counter is "0", or if it is determined in the process of step S353 that the time reduction counter is not "0", that time point In step S355, the process proceeds to step S355. Then, when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol change process (step S283), this process is terminated.

In this example, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time of off, the fluctuation time information of the special symbol set to about 1 second in the time saving state is associated with the above special symbol random numbers (first special symbol, second special symbol), while The fluctuation pattern of the special symbol is set in such a way that the fluctuation time information of the special symbol set to about 12 seconds in the non-time saving state is associated with the above special symbol random numbers (first special symbol, second special symbol). .. That is, the variation pattern at the time of deviation selected in the time-saving state has an extremely short time required for the variation display control of the special symbol as compared with the variation pattern at the time of deviation selected in the non-time reduction state. The fluctuation time information of the above special symbol is set.

FIG. 235 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol variation processing (step S283).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process should be performed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 235, first steps S371. As the process of, the variation timer in which the variation time according to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S282) for the variation pattern is set is subtracted by 1. Then, when it is determined that the fluctuation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery fluctuation time has elapsed (step S372), the process proceeds to step S373. That is, in the process of step S373, this process ends when the above-mentioned first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is transferred to the first special symbol stop process (step S284).

FIG. 236 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop process (step S284).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first, as shown in FIG. 236, first steps S381. As the process of, display control for displaying the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is performed, and the effect display device 1600 is used. A stop display command instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol of the first special symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S382).

Next, when the time saving end flag is set (step S383), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 resets the time saving end flag (step S384) and resets the time saving flag (step S385). As a result, when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed a predetermined number of times (77 times in this example), the time reduction control (control of the time reduction state) is terminated and the non-time reduction control is performed. (Control of normal state) will be started.

Further, when the jackpot flag is set (step S386), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 sets a jackpot start command indicating to start the jackpot game (step S387), and the jackpot game is started. The waiting time until the start (the time for displaying the start of the big hit game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S388). Although not shown, in step S388, a process of setting the number of rounds according to the type of jackpot to the jackpot count counter indicating the remaining number of rounds is also executed. The jackpot count counter is decremented by 1 each time a round is executed in the jackpot control process described later, and when the jackpot count counter becomes "0", it is determined that the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has executed the specified number of rounds. Control to end the jackpot game. Specifically, in the big hit control process described later, the big winning opening pre-opening process (step S401) and the big winning opening opening process (step S402) are repeatedly executed until the big hit count counter becomes "0", and the big winning opening is opened. When the round is completed in the opening processing (step S402), the jackpot counter is subtracted by 1 to become "0", and the game shifts to the large winning opening post-processing (step S403) to end the jackpot game. Perform control to make it.

Then, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is set (step S389). The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of jackpot. In step S387, a jackpot start command (15R probability variation jackpot start command, 5R time-saving jackpot start command, 2R jackpot start command) is set according to the type of jackpot (15R probability variation jackpot, 5R time-saving jackpot, 2R jackpot). As a result, the effect of the jackpot game according to the type of jackpot instructed by the jackpot start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Similarly, in the second special symbol stop processing of the second special symbol process process, the jackpot start command (15R probability variation jackpot start command, 5R time reduction jackpot) according to the type of jackpot (15R probability variation jackpot, 5R time reduction jackpot, 2R jackpot) Start command, 2R jackpot start command) is set.

Further, the jackpot executing flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is, specifically, when the jackpot game is terminated, the jackpot is hit in the jackpot control process (step S235A) after the jackpot opening post-processing (step S403). Opening / closing control of the large winning opening 2005 according to the type (for example, after opening the large winning opening 2005 for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or 10 game balls have won in the large winning opening 2005 is the above-mentioned large winning opening sensor 2402. It is reset when the opening / closing pattern that closes when detected is repeated 2, 5, or 15 times (opening / closing control) (all rounds that can be executed in the jackpot game). By resetting the jackpot execution flag, the jackpot control process (step S235A) is not executed in step S235 of the special symbol and special electric accessory control process (step S114), while the first function display unit 1400 is used. The variable display of the first special symbol on the special symbol display and the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 become feasible.

Further, when the big hit flag is not set (step S386) and the small hit flag is set (step S390), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 indicates that the small hit game is started. The small hit start command is set (step S391), and the waiting time until the start of the small hit game (time for displaying the start of the small hit game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S392). Then, the small hit executing flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed is set (step S393). The small hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of small hit. In step S391, a small hit start command (first small hit start command, second small hit start command) corresponding to the type of small hit (first small hit, second small hit) is set. As a result, the effect of the small hit game according to the type of the small hit instructed by the small hit start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp / LED, the speaker, and the like. Similarly, in the second special symbol stop processing of the second special symbol process process, the small hit start command (first small hit start command, first small hit start command, second) according to the type of small hit (first small hit, second small hit). Two small hit start command) is set.

Further, when the small hit game is terminated, the small hit execution flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed is the small hit middle process (step S411) of the small hit control process (step S236A) described later. ) Ends the open / close control of the prize winning opening 200 according to the type of small hit (for example, the opening / closing control in which the opening / closing pattern of opening and closing the bonus opening 200 for a short time (for example, 80 ms) is repeated twice). It will be reset. By resetting the small hit execution flag, the small hit control process (step S236A) is not executed in step S236 of the special symbol and special electric accessory control process (step S114), while the function display unit 1400 The variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display and the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 become feasible.

In addition, when the small hit flag is not set, that is, when a loss occurs, the waiting time until the next special symbol fluctuation display is started (the time during which the stop symbol of the special symbol is displayed) is set in the interval timer. (Step S394), the process proceeds to step S395.

When the processes of steps S386 to S394 are executed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 updates the first special symbol process flag so that the process shifts to the first special symbol normal process, which is the initial value. At (step S395), this process ends.

FIG. 237 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the jackpot control process (step S235A). In the jackpot control process, one of the following three process processes is selectively executed according to the jackpot process flag.

1. 1. The peripheral control board notifies the player that the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) shifts to the jackpot gaming state based on the fact that the mode when the variable display is stopped is the jackpot symbol. Large winning opening pre-opening process (step S401) that waits until it is performed by 1510 or waits until the next round is started.
2. 2. The big winning opening 2005 is controlled to the open state based on the mode when the variable display of the special symbol is stopped is the big hit symbol, or the big winning opening 2005 is opened based on the start of the next round. The big winning opening that is controlled and closed after the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the above-mentioned big winning opening sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have won in the big winning opening 2005. Processing during opening (step S402)
3. 3. After opening the big winning opening, the player waits until the peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the big hit game state ends when all the rounds are finished (step S403).

The jackpot process flag is operated to indicate that the jackpot opening pre-processing (step S401) should be performed in the process of step S42. Further, in the above-mentioned processing during opening of the big winning opening (step S402), at the start of the round for controlling the big winning opening 2005 to be in the open state, a big hit round start command corresponding to the number of rounds is set, and the big winning opening 2005 is closed. At the end of the round to control the state, set the jackpot round end command according to the number of rounds. The jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command are commands transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and the effect of the jackpot game according to the number of rounds instructed by the jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command is displayed. It is executed by the device 1600, a lamp / LED, a speaker, and the like.

[Rainbow color production]
Next, the rainbow-colored effect to be executed when the probability of a big hit is high (for example, when a big hit (big hit confirmed effect) or when the decorative design becomes reach (reach notice)) will be described. What is the rainbow color effect of this example? After displaying a predetermined form (pattern, character, character, etc.) on the effect display device 1600 using a plurality of colors, the display color in an arbitrary display area of the effect display device 1600 is displayed for a short time. In conjunction with the transition of the display color in the effect display device 1600, the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are changed to a plurality of emission colors (at least two or more emission colors). ), And the emission color is changed in a short time. In the following, the effect display device 1600 and the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are all linked to perform a rainbow-colored effect, and the effect display device 1600 displays the predetermined form. The display color and the emission color of the LED of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are changed in a short time, and various types provided on the effect display device 1600 and the door frame 3 are shown. The display color or the emission color may be changed in a short time in any one of the LED of the decorative substrate and the LED of various decorative substrates provided in the game board 5, or in any combination. ..

Further, the display of the effect display device 1600, the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 are linked and controlled to control the effect display device 1600. The LED of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 are made to emit light in a plurality of colors for a shorter time. By switching the display color and light emission color with, you can perform a more impactful effect than usual.

In this example, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600 and the light emission of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3 are emitted. The colors and the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided in the game board 5 are regularly arranged in a predetermined order for each display area or group. Although the ones to be changed are shown, they belong to the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600 and the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3. Any combination of any one or more of the emission color of the LED and the emission color of the LED belonging to the 1st panel emission group to the 6th panel emission group provided in the game board 5 (all). The display color and the emission color may be changed irregularly, and the rest may be changed regularly.

Further, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F, and the first panel emission group to the sixth. The emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the panel emission group are not limited to those that are changed in the same order, and the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600 and the frame emission groups A to Any combination of any one or more of the emission color of the LED belonging to the frame emission group F and the emission color of the LED belonging to the 1st panel emission group to the 6th panel emission group (all). For different order (for example, the emission color of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F may be "white → yellow → green → blue → purple → red → white → yellow → → ..." Change the order of, and change the emission color of the LEDs belonging to the 1st panel emission group to the 6th panel emission group in the order of "red → purple → blue → green → yellow → white → red → purple → → ..." It may be changed by (such as changing with).

Further, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F, and the first panel emission group to the sixth. For any combination (or all) of any one or more of the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the panel emission group, at least some of the colors are different combinations (for example, frame emission). LED belonging to group A to frame emission group F is controlled to emit light by any of "white", "yellow", "green", "blue", "purple", and "red", and the first panel Light emission control of LEDs belonging to the light emission group to the 6th board light emission group with one of the emission colors of "white", "orange", "yellowish green", "blue", "pink", "red", etc.) May be.

Further, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F provided in the door frame 3, and the emission colors of the LEDs. It is not limited to those that change the emission color of the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 at the same timing (match the timing of changing the color). , The timing of changing the display color of the effect display device 1600, the timing of changing the emission color of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F provided in the door frame 3, and the timing provided in the game board 5. The same with respect to the timing of changing the emission color of the LEDs belonging to the 1st panel emission group to the 6th panel emission group, and any combination (or all) of any one or two or more. It may be changed at a timing (for example, after 1 second), and the rest may be changed at a different timing (for example, every 1.5 seconds).

Further, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F provided in the door frame 3, and the emission colors of the LEDs. The period (predetermined period) from changing the light emitting color of the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 to changing again is always constant. Not limited to those, some or all periods may be different. For example, at odd timings (t1, t3, t5, t7, t9, t11, t99) among timings t2 to t100, the display color and emission color are changed every second, and even timings (t2, t4, t6, t8, t10) are changed. , T98, t100), the display color and the emission color may be changed every 2 seconds.

In this example, the LED that emits light and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged side by side is controlled to emit light prior to the rainbow-colored effect. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 241, the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the variation pattern command from the main control board 1310 and starts the variation effect such as the variation display of the decorative symbol on the effect display device 1600. During the period from timing t0 to timing t1 from the time when the button promotion effect is executed, the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are lined up side by side is turned off. When the button promotion effect is executed at the timing t1 The light emission is controlled according to the light emission mode. In this example, when the button operation promotion effect is started (timing t1 to timing t2), the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 are controlled to emit red light, and the back rear upper first decoration unit 3211 is controlled to emit red light. Light emission is controlled so that the characters "hot!" Flow repeatedly from the right to the left of the five 7-segment displays of the decoration unit 3211.

Further, the button valid period (for example,) without the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 being pressed by the player or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 being pressed during the execution of the button operation promotion effect (for example). When 5 seconds) elapses and the button operation promotion effect ends, and then the rainbow color effect starts (timing t2), the emission color of the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 is changed. Until the rainbow-colored effect is completed (timing t2 to timing t100) while maintaining the red emission color, "Rainbow" is displayed from right to left of the five 7-segment display units of the first decorative unit 3211 on the back and back. Light emission is controlled so that the characters "Chance!" Flow repeatedly. As described above, in this example, the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 are controlled to emit red light. Further, in the rainbow-colored effect, either the LED belonging to the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F or the LED belonging to the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group is the first on the back. Light emission is controlled in red, which is the same as the five 7-segment display units of the decorative unit 3211. Therefore, although the emission color of the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decoration unit 3211 is not changed, it is possible to make the player recognize that the emission control related to the rainbow color effect is performed. ..

Further, the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group provided on the door frame 3 around the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged side by side. The LED belonging to F (decorative board on which the LED is mounted), the LED belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 (decorative board on which the LED is mounted), and Is provided, and when the button operation promotion effect is completed, it is possible to give the impression that the light emitting decoration spreads around the five 7-segment display parts of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 which is decorated with light emitting in red. The effect can be enhanced and the game entertainment can be improved.

Further, in this example, even after the end of the rainbow color effect (timing t100 to timing t101), the emission control is continued without changing the emission color of the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decoration unit 3211. It has become. Specifically, after the rainbow-colored effect is completed (timing t100), for example, depending on the occurrence of the reach of the decorative pattern, "reach! The light emission is controlled so that the characters "" flow repeatedly, and the reach of the decorative pattern occurs, and during the execution of the reach effect, "Gekiatsu! The light emission is controlled so that the characters "" flow repeatedly. Further, in this example, the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 are controlled to be turned off based on the fact that the variable display of the decorative design is stopped. As a result, the player can recognize that the variable effect has ended. It should be noted that the five 7-segment display units of the back-back upper first decorative unit 3211 may be controlled to be turned off when a predetermined period elapses after the variable display of the decorative design is stopped. In this case, it may be controlled. When the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped, the movement display of characters in the five 7-segment display units of the first decorative unit 3211 on the back and back may be stopped. In this case as well, the player can recognize that the variation effect has ended due to the stop of the movement display of the characters in the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decoration unit 3211.

In this way, the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 are controlled to emit light prior to the rainbow color effect, and the five sevens of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 are controlled even after the rainbow color effect is completed. In order to continuously control the light emission of the segment display unit, it is possible to raise expectations for the start of the rainbow-colored effect by controlling the light emission of the five 7-segment display units of the back-back upper first decoration unit 3211, which is executed in advance. Even after the end of the rainbow-colored effect, the expectation for a big hit can be raised by controlling the light emission of the five 7-segment display units of the first decorative unit 3211 on the back and back.

It should be noted that the light emission control of the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 is started at least prior to the rainbow color effect and is continuously executed even after the end of the rainbow color effect. Any timing between the timing t0 at which the variable display of the decorative symbol is started and the timing t2 at which the rainbow-colored effect is started may be started (including the one that starts the light emission control at the timing t0). Then, the rainbow-colored effect may be terminated at any timing between the timing t100 for ending the rainbow-colored effect and the timing t101 for stopping the variation display of the decorative symbol (including the timing t101 for stopping the light emission control). In addition, even if the variable display of the decorative symbol is stopped, if the variable display of the decorative symbol is started again before the predetermined period elapses, the five 7-segment display units of the first decorative unit 3211 on the back and rear are turned off. It may not be controlled to the state, and in this case, when the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped, the movement display of the characters in the five 7-segment display units of the first decorative unit 3211 on the back and back is stopped (timing t101). ), When starting the variable display of the decorative pattern, the characters displayed on the five 7-segment display of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 are updated to display the five seven segments of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211. The movement display of the character may be restarted from the right to the left of the section (timing t0). Even in this case, it is possible to determine the presence / absence of the variable display of the decorative pattern depending on the presence / absence of the movement display of the characters in the five 7-segment display units of the back rear upper first decoration unit 3211.

Further, the mode displayed on the back-back upper first decorative unit 3211 during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect is not limited to the above-mentioned one, and for example, the effect display device becomes difficult to see due to the execution of the rainbow-colored effect. After executing the rainbow-colored effect by displaying the mode of displaying the variation of the symbol or controlling the blinking of a plurality of LEDs with a predetermined lighting pattern as a display supplementing the variation effect of the decorative symbol executed in 1600. (For example, when the decorative symbol is stopped and displayed), the mode corresponding to the special lottery result may be derived, or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is operated by the player during the execution of the variation effect. The number of LEDs that light up when a predetermined increase condition or decrease condition such as the above is satisfied may be changed. As a result, it is worried that the variable display of the decorative pattern may be difficult to see due to the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, and that the variable display of the decorative pattern may not be executed, or that the special lottery result may not be derived. It is possible not to give. Further, the display of the decorative pattern on the effect display device 1600 may be hidden during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, and even in this case, the above-mentioned anxiety can be prevented.

Further, in the above example, the end of the button operation promotion effect (the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed by the player during the execution of the button operation promotion effect, or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed. It is shown that the rainbow-colored effect is started when the button validity period (for example, 5 seconds) elapses without being pressed, but the predetermined execution condition is not accompanied by the execution of the button operation promotion effect. When it is established, the execution of the rainbow-colored effect may be started. For example, when the elapsed time after the start of the variable effect or the non-variable effect period in which the variable effect is not executed after the end of the variable effect reaches a predetermined predetermined period, the execution of the rainbow-colored effect is started. May be good.

Further, in this example, the decorative pattern is displayed in the reach state at a high rate (the one that does not reach the reach state (including the so-called ghost)) when the rainbow-colored effect is finished (timing t100). When the rainbow-colored effect is completed, the rainbow-colored effect display mode of the effect display device 1600 is erased to execute the reach effect, and the player belongs to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided in the game board 5. The emission control of the rainbow-colored effect between the LED and the LED belonging to the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3 is terminated, and the reach effect displayed on the effect display device 1600 is achieved. Light emission is controlled according to the light emission mode.

As described above, in this example, the rainbow color effect is performed as a reach notice executed during the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative pattern to the display of the reach state. If the decorative design does not reach the reach (the decorative design may be a big hit without reaching the reach, or the decorative design may be a big hit without reaching the reach) or the decorative design may be a big hit without reaching the reach. Even if this is not the case, the rainbow-colored effect may be executed at a predetermined ratio, or the rainbow-colored effect may be executed only when a big hit is always obtained (as a big hit confirmed effect). Further, the timing of execution is not limited to the reach notice, and a rainbow-colored effect may be performed as a reach effect executed during the period from the display of the reach state of the decorative symbol to the stop display of the decorative symbol. It may be executed as an effect such as a look-ahead notice before the start of the change of the symbol, or it may be executed regardless of the change display of the decorative symbol (for example, waiting for a customer to be executed when the change display of the decorative symbol is not started over a predetermined period). You may want to perform a rainbow-colored effect (as a demo effect).

Further, as described above, the rainbow-colored effect is executed when the probability of a big hit is high, and is an important effect for improving the expectations of the player. Therefore, in this example, the LED mounting surface of the decorative substrate on which the LED is mounted is characterized so that the color development of the LED whose light emission is controlled in the rainbow-colored effect becomes vivid. Specifically, a plurality of decorative boards provided on the game board 5 for mounting LEDs whose light emission is controlled by a rainbow-colored effect, that is, a back front upper left decorative board 3129 for luminescent decoration of the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122. The back front left decorative board 3121, the back front upper left logo decoration part 3122, and the back front left sub decoration part 3123 are luminescently decorated, and the back front left decorative board 3128 and the back front lower logo decoration 3167 are luminescently decorated. The back front lower logo decorative substrate 3173 for making the back front lower middle decorative board 3173, the back front lower middle decorative board 3168 for making the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 emit light, and the back front for making the back front lower left inner decorative body 3163 emit light. The lower left inner decorative board 3169, the back front lower left outer decorative board 3170 for luminescent decoration of the back front lower left outer decorative body 3164, and the back front lower right for luminescent decoration of the back front lower right inner decorative board 3165. The inner decorative substrate 3171, the back front lower right outer decorative substrate 3172 for luminescent decoration of the back front lower right outer decorative body 3166, and the back front lower right decorative substrate 3152 for luminescent decoration of the back front right logo decoration portion 3141. A white solder resist (protective material) is coated on the surface of the back front upper right decorative substrate 3151 for light-emitting decoration of the back front upper right logo decoration portion 3142, and electrons such as LEDs to be mounted are coated. Letters and symbols to avoid confusion with parts and other decorative boards are screen-printed using inks of bright and saturated colors (eg, yellow). In other words, the surface of a plurality of decorative substrates on which the LEDs provided on the game board 5 and whose light emission is controlled by rainbow-colored effects is mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protective material), which is the color with the highest reflection efficiency. At the same time, characters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic components such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using ink of a color with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). ing.

Further, a plurality of decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 for mounting LEDs whose light emission is controlled by rainbow-colored effects, that is, the door frame top center decorative board 455 of the door frame top unit 450 and the door frame top left decorative board 456. The door frame top right decorative board 457, the door frame left side unit 420 door frame left side upper decorative board 422, the door frame left side unit 420 door frame left side lower decorative board 423, and the dish left decorative lens 272. The dish left decorative board 273 provided on the rear side, the door frame right side lower decorative board 433 of the door frame right side unit 430, the dish right decorative board 278 provided on the rear side of the dish right decorative lens 277, and the door frame. The surface of the decorative substrate 432 on the right side of the door frame of the right side unit 430 is coated with a white solder resist (protective material), and electronic components such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates are used. Letters and symbols to avoid confusion are applied by screen printing using inks of bright and saturated colors (eg, yellow). In other words, the surface of the plurality of decorative substrates on which the LEDs provided on the door frame 3 and whose emission is controlled by the rainbow color effect is mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protective material), which is the color with the highest reflection efficiency. At the same time, characters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic components such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using ink of a color with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). ing.

Further, the back-rear upper first decorative board (illustrated) on which the LED for light-emitting decoration of the back-rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the back-rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged side by side is mounted. The surface is coated with a white solder resist (protective material), and the characters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic components such as LEDs and other decorative boards to be mounted are bright and colored. It is applied by screen printing using a high degree color (for example, yellow) ink. However, while full-color LEDs are mounted on a plurality of decorative boards on which the LEDs provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 are controlled to emit light by rainbow-colored effects, the first decoration on the back and back is used. A monochromatic light emitting (red in this example) LED is mounted on the substrate. Therefore, even if the LEDs provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 are light-emitting and decorated to produce a rainbow color effect, the light-emitting color is not changed on the five 7-segment displays of the back-back upper movable decoration body 3210. Only the effect of displaying characters, numbers, patterns, etc. on the five 7-segment display units with the same (red in this example) light emitting color is executed. In other words, in the five 7-segment display units of the back-back upper movable decoration 3210 that displays characters, numbers, patterns, etc., the characters and numbers that are displayed by not changing the emission color even if the rainbow color effect is executed. Information such as a picture is displayed in a state that is easy for the player to see, and it is suppressed that erroneous information is transmitted to the player.

As described above, in this example, the LED mounting surface of the decorative substrate on which the LED is mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protective material) to improve the reflection efficiency, so that it is possible to emit light in a plurality of full colors. Even when various LEDs are emitted in a wide variety of colors, it is possible to uniformly reflect all the light and develop vivid colors, and the back front upper left logo decoration part 3122 and the back front left provided on the game board 5 Logo decoration part 3121, back front upper left logo decoration part 3122, back front left sub decoration part 3123, back front lower logo decoration 3167, back front lower middle decoration 3161, back front lower left inner decoration 3163 , Back front lower left outer decoration 3164, back front lower right inner decoration 3165, back front lower right outer decoration 3166, back front right logo decoration part 3141, back front upper right logo decoration part 3142, The door frame top unit 450, the door frame left side unit 420, the door frame left side unit 420, the dish left decorative lens 272, and the door are provided in the door frame 3 and can be decorated with light emission. Each of the frame right side unit 430, the dish right decorative lens 277, and the door frame right side unit 430 can be brightly and vividly (clearly) luminescently decorated, and the effect of effect is enhanced. In addition, the five 7-segment display units of the back-back upper first decoration unit 3211 that emits light only in a single color (red in this example) can also be brightly and vividly luminescently decorated, and the effect of effect is enhanced.

In addition, characters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic parts such as LEDs and other decorative substrates are printed by screen printing using ink of a color with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). As a result, it is possible to bring the reflection efficiency between the white solder resist (protective material) and the characters and symbols printed on the screen close to each other so that the reflection efficiency on the substrate surface is close to uniform. Even when the possible LEDs are made to emit light in a wide variety of colors, all the light can be uniformly reflected, the occurrence of light emission unevenness in the light emission decoration is suppressed, and the effect of effect is enhanced. In addition, since the contrast between the white solder resist (protective material) and the characters and symbols printed on the screen can be reduced, when viewed through a lens that covers the decorative substrate regardless of whether the LED is emitting light or not. When the characters and symbols printed on the screen of the decorative board become inconspicuous and the player looks directly at the LED mounting surface of these decorative boards, information unrelated to the game is visually recognized and the game is enjoyed. Can be suppressed from decreasing. In addition, in the conventional decorative substrate where characters and symbols are screen-printed using ink of low lightness or saturation such as black (dark color), the characters and symbols are clearly visible when viewed through the lens covering the decorative substrate. Even if you can't see it, the lens itself may look dark and look bad, but you can make the lens look brighter by screen-printing characters and symbols using ink with high brightness and saturation. It also has the effect of not degrading the appearance. As a color with high lightness and saturation, it is desirable to use yellow, which has the closest reflection efficiency to white, but other than yellow-green, light blue, and other colors with low lightness and saturation (dark, black, brown, etc.). If there is, it is possible to achieve the above-mentioned effect.

In the above example, all of the plurality of decorative substrates on which the LED whose light emission is controlled by the rainbow color effect is coated with a white solder resist (protective material) on the surface, but the present invention is limited to this. Rather, some decorative substrates out of a plurality of decorative substrates that mount LEDs whose light emission is controlled by rainbow-colored effects are coated with a solder resist (protective material) other than white (for example, green or black) on the surface. It may be one, and for all or part of the decorative boards on which the LED whose light emission is controlled by the rainbow color effect is mounted, a white solder resist (white solder resist only on the surface on which the LED is mounted) ( It may be coated with a solder resist (protective material) other than white (for example, green or black) on the back surface on which the LED is not mounted.

Also, for characters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates, the LED mounting surface is printed by screen printing using ink of a color with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). Not limited to those applied to, some decorative substrates among a plurality of decorative substrates that mount LEDs that are controlled to emit light by rainbow-colored effects are inks of low-brightness or low-saturation colors (for example, black). It may be applied to the LED mounting surface by screen printing using the resist, or the LED mounted on all or a part of the plurality of decorative boards on which the LED whose emission is controlled by the iridescent effect is mounted. Characters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as and other decorative boards are made with a resisted character (that is, in the layer on which the wiring pattern is formed (copper plane), a character is made with a resisting pattern that is a copper foil, and the surrounding area. The surface of the foil-free character may be coated with a white solder resist (protective material) coated on the mounting surface of the LED, or the surface of the foil-free character may be coated with a white solder resist (protective material) formed by removing the copper foil. Some of the decorative boards on which the LED whose light emission is controlled by the color effect is mounted are formed as white resist-free characters using a white resist coated twice (the entire LED mounting surface is white). After coating with the solder resist of (1st layer), the entire area excluding these is whitened by masking the letters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates. By coating again with solder resist (second layer), the masked area, that is, characters and symbols may be formed as characters without white resist), or an LED whose light emission is controlled by iridescent effect is mounted. For all or some of the multiple decorative substrates, letters and symbols are screen-printed on the surface on which the LED is mounted using ink of a highly bright or saturated color (for example, yellow). For example, on the back surface where the LED is not mounted, using ink of a predetermined color (not only high-brightness or high-saturation color but also low-brightness or low-saturation color) is applied by screen printing, or a foil-free character is applied. Try to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs mounted on the decorative substrate and other decorative substrates by forming with white resist or forming as white resist-less characters using double-coated white resist. You may. In these cases as well, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the reflection efficiency on the surface on which the LED is mounted, and further make the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface substantially uniform to realize uniform light emission, so that it is possible to enhance the effect. ..

The LED mounted on the decorative board is an electronic component whose package color is white or has a color close to white (for example, ivory color, beige color, cream color), and the LED mounting surface of these decorative boards has. Only packaged LEDs are mounted, no other electronic components. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the reflection efficiency and realize uniform light emission on the LED mounting surface even by the LED package. In addition to the connector for connecting the electrical wiring to the decorative board, the LED non-mounting surface has one electronic component such as a resistor, a capacitor, and a circuit that controls the light emission of multiple LEDs (for example, a constant current drive circuit). It may be implemented one or more. Further, the connector is an electronic component whose housing has a white color or a color close to white (for example, ivory color, beige color, cream color), and the constant current drive circuit is black as an integrated circuit. It is an electronic component that is a surface mount type (SMD type) LED driver IC that is housed in a possible IC package, and the resistor is a surface mount type (SMD type) electronic component that has black, blue, white, or the like. , The capacitor is a surface mount type (SMD type) electronic component having black, brown, gray, white or the like. In the above-mentioned decorative substrate, electronic parts having at least black, brown, gray, and other colors having low lightness and saturation may be mounted on the LED non-mounting surface without being mounted on the LED mounting surface, and are white. Or, electronic components having a color having high lightness and saturation such as a color close to white (for example, ivory color, beige color, cream color) may be mounted on the LED mounting surface. As a result, the electronic components mounted on the surface of the decorative substrate become inconspicuous when viewed through the lens covering the decorative substrate, and the decrease in the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface can be suppressed to make the reflection efficiency substantially uniform. Therefore, it is possible to realize highly efficient and uniform light emission and enhance the effect of production.

In this example, the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted even when the rainbow color effect is executed as the variable effect, and various decorations provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 at the timing when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated. The amount of light from the LED on the board can be changed (adjusted). Specifically, when the button with the letter "+" is pressed among the two buttons of the light intensity adjustment button 228, the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are immediately brightened. (Increase the amount of light) When you press the button with the letter "-", the LEDs on the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 will immediately dim (decrease the amount of light). It has become.

As shown in FIG. 241. When the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the execution of the variation effect for executing the rainbow color effect, the first panel light emission group to the sixth panel light emission regardless of whether the LED is in the off state or not. Immediately change the amount of light of the multiple LEDs of the group and the multiple LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F and the LED that performs the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect, and the light amount after the change is the first board light emitting group ~ The light emission control is performed on the plurality of LEDs of the sixth panel light emitting group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F. In this example, a plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel light emitting group to the 6th panel light emitting group, a plurality of frame light emitting groups A to the frame light emitting group C, and a plurality of frame light emitting groups E to the frame light emitting group F during the execution of the button operation promotion effect. Although the LEDs of the above are controlled to be turned off, a plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group D (a plurality of LEDs 320a mounted on the outer peripheral decorative board 320 of the effect operation unit of the effect operation unit 300, and an annular button outer decoration board 355). The plurality of LEDs 355a mounted on the above and the LEDs 364a of the decorative board 364 in the button are turned on, and when the player operates the light amount adjustment button 228, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative board 320 of the effect operation unit 300 is used. Since the plurality of LEDs 320a mounted, the plurality of LEDs 355a mounted on the annular button outer decorative board 355, and the LED 364a of the button inner decorative board 364 are immediately controlled to emit light by the changed light amount, the effect operation unit 300 The first board while observing the change in the amount of light of the plurality of LEDs 320a mounted on the outer peripheral decorative board 320 of the effect operation unit, the plurality of LEDs 355a mounted on the annular button outer decorative board 355, and the LED 364a of the button inner decorative board 364. The amount of light of all the LEDs of the light emitting group to the sixth panel light emitting group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F can be adjusted.

On the other hand, among the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5, the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is provided on the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display units are arranged side by side. For the LED mounted on the first decorative board and not performing the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect, the light amount is not changed (adjusted) even if the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the execution of the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect. (The amount of light is fixed). In this way, during the execution of the variable effect for executing the rainbow-colored effect, the back-back-up movable decorative body 3210 is provided with the back-back-up first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display units are arranged side by side. Since it is impossible to change (adjust) the light amount (brightness) of the LED mounted on the first decorative board and the light amount (brightness) is constant regardless of whether or not the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, the first panel It can be used as a reference when changing the light intensity of the plurality of LEDs of the light emitting group to the sixth panel light emitting group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F, and the brightness and back of these LEDs. The difference from the brightness of the LED mounted on the back rear upper first decorative substrate provided in the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 becomes clear, and it becomes easy to adjust the brightness to the player's preference. The LED mounted on the back-rear upper first decorative board provided in the back-rear upper first decorative unit 3211 in which the five 7-segment display units of the back-rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged side by side has a rainbow-colored effect. Regardless of whether or not the variation effect is being executed, the light amount may not always be changed (adjusted) even if the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated.

Further, in this example, it is impossible to adjust the amount of light (luminance), and the back-rear-upper movable decorative body 3210 provided with the back-rear-upper first decorative substrate on which the LED that does not perform the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect is mounted. LEDs (LEDs) belonging to the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 are mounted around the back rear upper first decorative part 3211 in which the seven 7-segment display units are arranged side by side. It is possible to adjust the amount of light (luminance) between the decorative board) and the LEDs (decorative boards on which the LEDs are mounted) belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided in the game board 5. LED is provided. In this way, since the LED that is the reference for adjusting the light amount (luminance) and the LED that changes the light amount (luminance) are arranged close to each other, it is easy to compare the light amount (luminance), and the player's favorite light amount (brightness) ( Brightness) can be easily adjusted.

As described above, the pachinko machine 1 of this example executes the rainbow-colored effect when the probability of becoming a big hit is high, but there are situations in which the rainbow-colored effect cannot be properly performed depending on the state of the gaming machine. In such a case, not only the rainbow-colored effect cannot be expected to improve the interest of the game, but also the interest of the game may be reduced.

For example, an abnormality in which it is difficult to display the rainbow-colored effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 (an abnormality in which the LED (either part or all) of the backlight of the effect display device 1600 does not emit light, or an abnormality in which the display is disturbed due to noise or the like. Etc.), or an abnormality (in the door frame 3 or the game board 5) in which it is difficult to control the light emission of the LED rainbow color effect of the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5. In the case of an abnormality in which the LEDs (either part or all) of the various decorative substrates provided are not emitted, or an abnormality in which the light emission mode is disturbed due to noise, etc.), the display and door by the effect display device 1600 are generated. It was not possible to achieve the rainbow-colored effect in the perfect form as designed using the light emission from the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the frame 3 and the game board 5, and the display by the effect display device 1600 and the door frame 3 and the game. An incomplete rainbow-colored effect is executed in which a part of the light emitted by the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided on the board 5 is missing.

By executing such an incomplete rainbow-colored effect, not only the effect of improving the interest of the original rainbow-colored effect cannot be expected, but also the player recognizes that the effect different from the rainbow-colored effect is executed. This can be misleading. In this example, such a misunderstanding is not given to the player as much as possible. This will be described with reference to FIG. 242.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, it is difficult to display the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 at the timing t6 during the rainbow color effect, and the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 are LED. One of the abnormalities that make it difficult to control the light emission of the rainbow color effect and the abnormality that makes it difficult to control the light emission of the LED of the LED of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 has occurred. When an abnormal state occurs, a plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided in the game board 5, and a plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3. After finishing the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect, the light emission control is performed so that the multiple LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group are turned off, and the multiple LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F are turned off. Light emission control is performed in an abnormality notification light emission mode for notifying the occurrence of an abnormality (in this example, a mode in which the light flashes in red at the maximum brightness (light amount)).

As shown in FIG. 242, it is difficult to display the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 at any timing from timing t0 to timing t2 before the start of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect. Anomalies and abnormalities that make it difficult to control the emission control of the LED rainbow color effects of the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the rainbow color effects of the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5. In the case of an abnormal state in which one of the abnormalities that makes it difficult to control the light emission occurs, the first one provided on the game board 5 even at the timing t2 when the rainbow color effect is normally started. Without starting the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect by the plurality of LEDs of the panel light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3, the first Anomaly notification light emission mode for notifying the occurrence of an abnormality to a plurality of LEDs in the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F by controlling the light emission of a plurality of LEDs in the 1st panel light emission group to the 6th panel light emission group in a light-off state. In the example, the light emission is controlled by blinking red light at the maximum brightness (light amount)).

Further, when the above-mentioned abnormality occurs at the timing t6 during the execution of the variation effect for executing the rainbow color effect, the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is erased and the abnormality occurs. Display to notify. Similarly, if the above-mentioned abnormality occurs at any timing from timing t0 to timing t2 before the start of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect, the rainbow color effect display on the effect display device 1600. A display is performed to notify that the abnormality has occurred without starting the display of the mode. It should be noted that it may not be executed for a part of the rainbow-colored effect display mode, and even in this case, it is possible to recognize that the abnormality has occurred by the display notifying that the abnormality has occurred.

As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the rainbow is completely as designed by using the display by the effect display device 1600 and the light emission by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5. If the color effect cannot be realized, the rainbow color effect is controlled so as not to be interrupted or started, so that the rainbow color effect cannot be executed in an incomplete form, which may give a misunderstanding to the player. It can be deterred.

The LED mounted on the back-rear upper first decorative board provided in the back-rear upper first decorative unit 3211 in which the five 7-segment display units of the back-rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged side by side has a rainbow-colored effect. Even if an abnormal state occurs during the execution of the variation effect that executes the good. In this case, a plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided in the game board 5 due to the occurrence of an abnormal state, and a plurality of frame light emitting groups A to frame light emitting groups F provided in the door frame 3. Even if the light emission decoration of the rainbow-colored effect by the LED of the above is not finished or started, or even if the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F are controlled to emit light in the abnormality notification light emitting mode, the variable effect continues. It is possible to make the player recognize that the effect is being performed, and the player is not misunderstood that the variable effect has been completed.

Further, depending on the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), whether or not to turn off the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 may be different, and for example, the influence on the execution of the game or the rainbow-colored effect is small. Error (Minor error: When the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 is detected (the opening of the door frame 3 makes it difficult to visually recognize the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3). Case), when the vibration sensor (not shown) continuously detects the vibration of the game board 5 for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) (when it detects that an action such as hitting the pachinko machine 1 is being performed, the pachinko machine 1 (When the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and the display of the effect display device 1600 are blurred and difficult to see) due to the vibration of the full tank detection sensor. When the detection signal from 154 is input (when it is detected that the lower plate 202 is full with the game ball), when the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 is input (in the guidance passage 570a). For errors (errors that are unlikely to be performed, such as when it is detected that the game ball does not exist), it is mounted on the back rear upper first decorative board provided in the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211. While controlling the light emission without turning off the LED, an error that has a significant effect on the execution of games and rainbow-colored effects (serious error: when a radio wave irradiation goto is detected (door frame 3 or game board 5 due to electromagnetic waves or the like) The second starting port 2004 is not open when the magnet goto is detected (when there is noise in the light emitted by the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided in the above or the display of the effect display device 1600 is noisy). In this case, when the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2401 is input, or when the detection signal from the big prize opening sensor 2402 is input when the game is not in the big hit game state or the small hit game state, a goto action is performed. By controlling the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 to be turned off, the variation effect may be interrupted or terminated even while the variation effect is being executed. Thereby, the control state of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 can be changed according to the degree of the error, and the occurrence of the abnormality can be determined.

Further, depending on the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), whether or not to eliminate the display of the rainbow-colored effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 may be different, for example, the above-mentioned game or rainbow-colored effect. For an error that has a small effect on the execution of the above, a warning display (for example, "door is open", etc. ), On the other hand, for errors that have a significant effect on the execution of the above-mentioned games and rainbow-colored effects, the display of the rainbow-colored effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is erased and a warning display (for example, "illegal winning!" Etc. ) May be performed, so that the display of the rainbow color effect (rainbow color effect display mode) may be interrupted or terminated even while the rainbow color effect is being executed. As a result, the display mode of the effect display device 1600 can be changed according to the degree of error, and it becomes possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality. It should be noted that, regarding the error that has a significant influence on the execution of the above-mentioned game and rainbow-colored effect, the back-back upper first decorative unit 3211 is controlled to be turned off, and the display of the rainbow-colored effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is erased. In such a case, the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 may be terminated at a timing delayed by a predetermined period from the timing of turning off the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211. .. In this case, it is possible to prevent the display content from being suddenly switched in the effect display device 1600, and to switch the display content while leaving the afterglow of the effect display such as the rainbow-colored effect display mode.

In addition, when an abnormal state occurs, a display notifying that the abnormal state has occurred on the effect display device 1600 and an LED provided on the door frame 3 according to the type of the abnormal state (degree of urgency). Any combination of any one or two or more (including all) of the notification by controlling the light emission in the mode at the time of error and the notification that an abnormal state has occurred by voice output. You may want to do it. For example, when a minor error that has little effect on the game occurs, a display notifying that the effect display device 1600 is in an abnormal state and an LED provided on the door frame 3 emit light in the mode at the time of the error. Execution of any one or any combination of two, a notification by control and a notification that an abnormal state has occurred by voice output, causes a serious error that has a significant effect on the game. If this is the case, a display notifying that the effect display device 1600 is in an abnormal state, a notification by controlling the light emission of the LED provided on the door frame 3 in an error mode, and an abnormality due to audio output. You may want to do all of the notification that the condition is occurring.

Further, in this example, in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect, an abnormality occurs during the execution of the rainbow color effect (timing t6) or before the start of the rainbow color effect (arbitrary timing from timing t0 to timing t2). When the abnormality is resolved and the abnormal state is restored to the normal state during the execution of the rainbow color effect (before the end of the rainbow color effect), the abnormality notification is performed by the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F. Although the light emitting mode is terminated, the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided in the game board 5 and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3 Does not execute the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration by, (does not restart the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration (does not return to the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration)).

That is, the LED of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 has an abnormality in which the light emitting mode is disturbed due to noise or the like, so that the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect is terminated or the light emission of the rainbow color effect is emitted. If the decoration is not started, noise may occur again even if it is determined that the abnormality has been resolved. In such a case, if the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration is controlled to be restarted according to the resolution of the abnormality, the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration may be repeatedly executed and terminated, which confuses the player. There is a risk of causing it. Therefore, in this example, if the rainbow-colored effect is ended or the rainbow-colored effect is not started based on the occurrence of an abnormality, the rainbow-colored color is resolved even if the abnormality is resolved during the execution period of the rainbow-colored effect. The luminescent decoration of the production is not executed or restarted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 242, in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect, a plurality of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 due to noise or the like at the timing t6 during the execution of the rainbow color effect. When an abnormality occurs in which it is difficult to control the light emission of the rainbow color effect by any of the LEDs (timing t6), the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 are combined with each other. , The multiple LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 and the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect are completed, and the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group are turned off. The light emission is controlled according to the state, and the light emission is controlled in an abnormal notification light emission mode in which a plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F blink red at the maximum brightness (light amount).

At this time, although the effect display device 1600 erases the display of the rainbow color effect display mode and displays a warning (“abnormality occurrence”, etc.), the control data of the rainbow color effect display mode is updated according to the scheduler. It has become. In addition, the LED mounted on the back-rear upper first decorative board provided in the back-rear upper first decorative unit 3211 in which the five 7-segment display units of the back-rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are lined up side by side has a rainbow-colored effect. Although the light emitting decoration is not executed, the light emission control corresponding to the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect is continued, and the variable effect continues even if the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 disappears. It is possible to make the player aware of what he is doing. Further, a warning sound is output in the above-mentioned abnormal state, and the player or the game clerk can recognize that the abnormal state has occurred by listening to the warning sound.

Further, at the timing t10 after the abnormal state is reached, noise and the like are eliminated, and it is possible to control the emission of the rainbow-colored effects of the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided in the game board 5. (Timing t10), the effect display device 1600 ends the warning display and resumes the display of the rainbow-colored effect display mode. As described above, the control data of the rainbow-colored effect display mode is updated according to the scheduler even during the occurrence of an abnormal state, and the effect display device 1600 is configured according to the elapsed time after the start of the variable effect. The rainbow-colored effect display mode is displayed in the above, and the rainbow-colored effect is produced by any one of the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 due to noise or the like. Instead of the rainbow-colored effect display mode displayed at the timing t6 when an abnormality for which light emission control is difficult occurs, the rainbow-colored effect display mode corresponding to the timing t10 in which noise or the like is eliminated and the abnormal state is restored is displayed.

Further, in this example, even if the abnormality is resolved at the timing t10, the abnormality notification light emission that causes the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F to blink red at the maximum brightness (light amount) for a certain period (for example, 30 seconds). The embodiment is to be continued (timing t10 to timing t11). That is, if an abnormality occurs again after the abnormality is resolved (timing t10) and before the lapse of a certain period, the abnormality notification light emission mode is not terminated at the timing when the certain period elapses, and the abnormality notification is made even after the lapse of a certain period. The light emitting mode is to be continued. As a result, when the occurrence and resolution of the abnormality occur frequently, the light emission control in the abnormal notification light emission mode is continuously controlled without repeating the end and restart of the light emission control in the abnormal notification light emission mode, so that the game clerk, etc. Becomes easier to notice.

Further, even if the abnormality is resolved at the timing t10 after the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 are turned off (timing t6) when an abnormality occurs at the timing t6. The plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 continue to be turned off and do not return to the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration (timing t10 to timing t100).

Similarly, when an abnormality occurs at timing t6, after controlling the emission of a plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3 in the abnormality notification light emitting mode (timing t6), the abnormality occurs at timing t10. When a certain period of time has passed without the abnormality occurring again, the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3 are controlled to be turned off to produce a rainbow color effect. It does not return to the light emitting decoration (timing t10 to timing t100).

Then, when the rainbow-colored effect ends and the reach effect is started at the timing t100, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 and the frame provided on the door frame 3. The light emission control of the plurality of LEDs of the light emission group A to the frame light emission group F is executed to emit light in a mode corresponding to the reach effect. In this way, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, even if the abnormality is resolved during the execution of the rainbow color effect, the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect is not restored. Therefore, whether or not the abnormality has occurred during the execution of the rainbow color effect is determined. It can be discriminated. If an abnormality occurs before the start of the rainbow-colored effect and the abnormality is resolved before the start of the rainbow-colored effect, the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect should be started at the timing t2 when the rainbow-colored effect is started. You may do it.

Further, it is provided on the game board 5 not at the timing t10 at which the abnormality is resolved but at the timing t100 at which the rainbow-colored effect ends (the timing at which the effect executed after the rainbow-colored effect (reach effect in this example) is started). It is not limited to the one that starts the light emission control between the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel light emitting group to the 6th panel light emitting group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3 (at timing t100). (Not limited to the one that starts the light emission control), when the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect is finished, or when the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect is finished and the next variable effect is started, the rainbow color effect is started. This may be the case when the demo effect is started without starting the next variation effect after the variation effect for executing the above is completed. Even in this case, it can be determined that an abnormality has occurred during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect or the variable effect.

Further, when the abnormality is resolved after the variation effect for executing the rainbow-colored effect is completed, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 at the timing when the abnormality is resolved are used. Of the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided in the door frame 3, at least a plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided in the game board 5 are started to emit light. In this case, if the abnormality is resolved during the execution of the fluctuation effect different from the variation effect in which the abnormality occurred, and the rainbow-colored effect is executed at the timing when the abnormality is resolved, the rainbow-colored effect is performed at the relevant timing. It may be controlled to the light emitting mode of the rainbow-colored effect.

Further, when the abnormality is resolved, some LEDs may be restored to the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration. For example, when the abnormality is resolved, among the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5, the plurality of LEDs of the 4th board light emitting group are returned to the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration. Then, when a certain period of time has passed after the abnormality is resolved, the frame light emitting group A among the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 is returned to the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect. You may do it. In this case, although the light emission is not controlled during the occurrence of the abnormal state, the schedule data of the light emission control pattern is advanced, and the light emission mode is restarted from the light emission mode at the timing when the abnormality is resolved, not the light emission mode at the timing when the abnormality occurs. Become so. In this way, when the abnormality is resolved, some LEDs are restored to the rainbow-colored effect emission decoration, and when the other LEDs are turned off, only some of the LEDs are rainbow-colored. Since the light emitting decoration is not performed, it becomes possible to determine that an abnormality has occurred during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect.

Further, in this example, the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted even in an abnormal state, and the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel light emitting group to the 6th panel light emitting group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F are arranged. The set value of the amount of light (brightness) can be changed.

However, in a normal state where no abnormality has occurred, at the timing when the operation of the light intensity adjustment button 228 is accepted, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel light emitting group to the 6th panel light emitting group and the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F The light intensity (brightness) of the plurality of LEDs is immediately changed, and the changed light intensity (brightness) is used for the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel light emitting group to the 6th panel light emitting group and the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F. While the light emission is controlled with multiple LEDs, when an abnormality occurs, the multiple LEDs of the 1st panel light emitting group to the 6th panel light emitting group and the frame at the timing when the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted. Although the set value of the light intensity (brightness) of the plurality of LEDs of the light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F is changed, the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group are used at the timing when the operation is accepted. , The plurality of LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F are not emitted to the light amount (brightness) after the change, and after the abnormality is resolved, specifically, the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting. The plurality of LEDs in the group are controlled to emit light with the changed light amount (brightness) after the timing t10 when the door frame 3 is closed and the abnormality is resolved, and the plurality of frame light emitting groups A to frame light emitting group F. The light emission of the LED is controlled so that it can emit light with the changed light amount (brightness) after the timing t11 when the door frame 3 is closed and the abnormality is resolved and a certain period of time has elapsed.

In this way, even if the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated in a state where an abnormality has occurred, a plurality of LEDs in the first panel light emitting group to the sixth panel light emitting group and a plurality of frame light emitting groups A to frame light emitting group F. Since the amount of light (luminance) of the LED is not changed, it is possible to prevent the abnormality notification light emission mode from becoming difficult to be noticed. In addition, even if an abnormality has occurred, the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted to change the set value of the light amount (brightness), and after the abnormality is resolved, it is reflected in the actual LED light emission state. It does not deprive the player of the opportunity to adjust the amount of light (brightness) even in the state where the light intensity (brightness) is generated.

In this example, a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter referred to as dimming LED group) that belong to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided in the game board 5 and can adjust the amount of light are mounted. It is configured to provide a first decorative board on the back and back on which a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter referred to as non-dimming LED group) whose light amount cannot be adjusted to emit and decorate the above 7-segment display unit are mounted separately from the decorative board. However, not limited to this, the 7-segment display unit emits light to a part of one of the plurality of decorative boards on which a plurality of LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group are mounted. An LED for decoration may be mounted. That is, a plurality of LEDs (dimming LED group) whose light amount can be adjusted and a plurality of LEDs (non-dimming LED group) whose light amount cannot be adjusted may be mounted on one decorative substrate.

For example, the dimming LED group consisting of a plurality of LEDs whose light amount can be adjusted and the non-dimming LED group consisting of a plurality of LEDs whose light amount cannot be adjusted may be arranged at a predetermined interval. In this case, the distance between adjacent LEDs in the dimming LED group and the distance between adjacent LEDs in the non-dimming LED group are calculated from the distance between the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group. May be arranged so that they are close to each other. With such a configuration, it becomes easy to distinguish between the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group, and it becomes easy to compare the brightness of the LED whose light amount can be adjusted and the LED whose light amount cannot be adjusted.

In addition, it is made of resin with the same or very similar color (white in this example) to the LED that can adjust the amount of light (hereinafter referred to as dimming LED) and the LED that cannot adjust the amount of light (hereinafter referred to as non-dimming LED). A package may be adopted, or in addition to this, the same type of package may be adopted, whereby the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED can emit light under the same conditions. By comparing the brightness with the non-dimming LED, the difference between the brightness of the dimming LED after the brightness adjustment and the brightness of the non-dimming LED becomes clear, and it becomes easy to adjust the brightness to the player's preference.

Further, a plurality of through holes may be formed between the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group. In the region where the through hole is formed on the surface of the decorative substrate, the light emitted from the LED is not reflected and leaks to the back surface (LED non-mounting surface) side of the decorative substrate, so that the light is not matched with the dimming LED group. By forming a through hole between the light LED group and the light LED group, the interference between the light from the dimming LED and the light from the non-dimming LED is suppressed, and the light from each LED can be visually recognized individually. As a result, the brightness can be adjusted based on the light from only the dimming LED group, and the light from only the non-dimming LED group can be used as an index for adjusting the brightness. Increases, and it becomes easy to adjust the brightness to the player's preference. Further, a through hole is formed with an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED (ratio (area) ≤ one adjustment that one through hole occupies on the LED mounting surface (front surface, front surface) of the decorative substrate. The ratio (area) occupied by the light LED or one non-dimming LED causes the light of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED to leak from the through hole to the back surface of the decorative substrate (LED non-mounting surface) more than necessary. You may try to deter that. In this case, the number of through holes formed between the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED is larger than the number of dimming LEDs and the number of non-dimming LEDs mounted on the side of the through hole. By increasing the number, the brightness of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED is not lowered more than necessary while suppressing the reflection and interference of the light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED. You may try to.

Further, on the LED mounting surface (front surface, surface) of the decorative substrate, a three-dimensional object (electronic component or structure having a predetermined thickness, etc.) that separates a part or all of the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group. May be provided to suppress reflection and interference of light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED. For example, on the LED mounting surface (front surface, surface) of the decorative board, a resistor, a capacitor, a diode, an IC, an electronic component mounted on a circuit board such as an LED driver, etc. are mounted between the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED. You may try to do it. Dimming is performed by providing an electronic component having a predetermined thickness and mounted so as to project from the LED mounting surface (front surface, surface) of the decorative substrate between the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED. A part or all of the LED and the non-dimming LED may be separated to suppress the reflection and interference of the light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED.

In addition, the electronic components provided between the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED have the appearance of a dark color (black, gray, green, blue, brown, etc.) with low reflection efficiency (some are different from the dark color). It may have a portion (for example, a metallic color such as silver, a transparent portion, etc.). This makes it possible to further enhance the effect of suppressing reflection and interference of light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED.

Further, in the above example, the back-rear upper first decoration in which the five 7-segment display units of the back-rear upper movable decoration body 3210 provided with the back-rear upper first decorative substrate on which the non-dimming LED is mounted are arranged side by side. The player forms the portion 3211 in a size extending over the left-right end of the effect display device 1600, and the player creates characters, numbers, patterns, etc. displayed by the 7-segment display portion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211. Although the ones that are easy to notice are shown, the first decorative portion 3211 on the back rear upper is formed by, for example, one 7-segment display unit, or a decorative substrate smaller than other decorative substrates on which LEDs are mounted is provided. For example, the player may perform an effect that is difficult to notice. In this case, the player who notices the existence of the 7-segment display unit can be further enjoyed by the effect performed by the effect display unit 1600 or the like in addition to the effect performed by the effect display unit 1600 or the like. Further, the surface of one decorative substrate on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted is covered with a region in which a plurality of LEDs for light emitting and decorating the decorative body covering the decorative substrate are mounted, and seven segments provided in a part of the decorative body. When the display unit is configured to be divided into an area where a plurality of LEDs for light emission decoration are mounted and an area where a plurality of LEDs for light emission decoration are mounted on the decorative substrate, the decoration is more decorative than the area where the decorative body covering the decorative substrate is mounted. The area where a plurality of LEDs that emit light and decorate the 7-segment display portion provided on a part of the body may be mounted may be narrowed.

In this way, since the non-dimming LED that is the standard for adjusting the brightness and the dimming LED that changes the brightness are mounted on one decorative substrate and arranged close to each other, the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED are used. The dimming LED and the non-dimming LED can be arranged closer to each other as compared with the case of mounting on different substrates, and it is easy to compare the brightness of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED.

Further, in the above example, the LED that performs the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect, specifically, the LED included in the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group and the LED included in the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F. LED that can adjust the brightness and does not emit light emission decoration of rainbow color effect, specifically, the back rear upper first decoration part where the five 7 segment display parts of the back rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are lined up side by side The LED that emits and decorates the 3211 is shown to be incapable of adjusting the brightness. One or more non-rainbow color light emitting LEDs without decoration may be provided. This non-rainbow color light emitting LED is controlled to be turned off when the rainbow color effect is executed, or is controlled to perform a light emission decoration different from the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect, and is rainbow color. Although the light emitting decoration of the effect is not performed, the brightness can be adjusted unlike the LED that emits and decorates the first decorative portion 3211 on the back and back. Since the result of the brightness adjustment during the execution of the rainbow color effect can be reflected even for the non-rainbow color light emitting LED that does not perform the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect in this way, the non-rainbow color light emitting LED is also used after the rainbow color effect. With the light emitting decoration performed, it is possible to emit light with the player's favorite brightness (light amount).

Further, when the above-mentioned dimming LED is performing the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect, the light emission color is switched (flickers) in a short time, so that the accurate light amount (luminance) is based on the light of these dimming LEDs. Is difficult to determine. Therefore, there is a problem that even if the light amount (luminance) is adjusted to the player's favorite light amount (luminance), the light amount (luminance) is actually set different from the player's favorite light amount (luminance). As described above, when a non-rainbow-colored light emitting LED that does not execute the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect is provided and the light-emitting decoration different from the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect is executed even during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, the door frame 3 When adjusting the light intensity (luminance) of the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5, the light intensity (luminance) can be accurately determined based on the light from the non-rainbow color emitting LED. Therefore, the amount of light (luminance) desired by the player can be easily adjusted.

In addition, as the light emitting decoration of the non-rainbow color emitting LED during the execution of the rainbow color effect, at least the LED that performs the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect, specifically, the LED included in the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group. The LEDs included in the frame emission group A to the frame emission group F may be those that switch the emission color with a longer unit emission time, or those that perform emission decoration with the same emission color without switching the emission color.

In addition, the back-rear upper movable decorative body 3210 provided with the back-rear upper first decorative substrate on which a non-dimming LED that does not perform rainbow-colored light emission decoration because the above-mentioned light amount (brightness) cannot be adjusted is provided. Non-rainbow color emission LED with emission color different from the emission color of the five 7-segment display units of (Full-color LED is movable on the back and back. It may be the one that emits light in a monochromatic emission that is different from the emission color of the five 7-segment display units of the movable decoration body 3210 on the back and back). The light emission may be controlled. In this case, it becomes easy to distinguish between the non-rainbow color light emitting LED and the non-dimming LED, and it becomes easy to compare the light amount (brightness) when adjusting the light amount (brightness). , The amount of light (brightness) desired by the player can be easily adjusted.

In the above example, the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect, that is, the light emitting decoration that changes the light emitting color in a short time, is not performed. A white solder resist (protective material) with the highest reflection efficiency is also applied to the surface of the upper first decorative substrate after the back where a single-color light emitting LED (non-dimming LED) that emits and decorates the upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted. Characters and symbols that are coated and to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs and other decorative boards to be mounted are colors with high lightness and saturation (for example, white with high reflection efficiency such as yellow). ) Is applied by screen printing to increase the reflection efficiency of the surface on which the LED of the first decorative substrate is mounted, but in addition to or in place of this, the LED is mounted. Even if the interference of light on the surface of the first decorative substrate is suppressed to clarify the light emission of each LED so that the characters, numbers, patterns, etc. displayed on the segment display can be displayed more clearly. good.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 243 (A), an LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged side by side is mounted. The back-back-upper first decorative board and the back-back-upper second decorative part provided on the back side of the back-back-upper first decorative part 3211 and in which predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") are arranged in a row. The back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 including the back rear upper second decorative board on which the LED that emits and decorates the 3212 is mounted, and the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210, the five 7-segment display portion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the back rear upper It is formed to have a predetermined thickness (about 10 mm in this example) by an opaque (white in this example) resin or the like having no translucency except for a predetermined character of the second decorative portion 3212.

Further, as shown in FIG. 243 (B), a tubular penetrating portion corresponding to each segment is formed in the 7-segment display portion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211, and one or a plurality of tubular penetrating portions are formed in the penetrating portion. The surface on which the plurality of LEDs of the first decorative substrate is mounted is partitioned so that the LEDs are arranged. Further, a cylindrical penetrating portion corresponding to each predetermined character (here, "JACKPOT") is formed in the second decorative portion 3212 on the back and back, and one or a plurality of LEDs are arranged in the penetrating portion. As such, the surface on which the plurality of LEDs of the second decorative substrate is mounted is partitioned.

Further, the back-back upper movable decorative body 3210 is formed so as to be divided into two front and rear decorative bodies, and the inside of one decorative body is brought into close contact with the surface on which a plurality of LEDs of the back-back upper first decorative substrate are mounted. With the inside of the other decorative body in close contact with the surface on which the multiple LEDs of the second decorative board are mounted, the decorative body divided into two front and rear parts is assembled (fixed) to the back and back. The upper movable decorative body 3210 is configured.

As a result, the light emitted from the LED arranged in the penetrating portion corresponding to each segment in the 7-segment display portion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is suppressed from leaking into the penetrating portion corresponding to the other segment. , Since it is possible to suppress the interference of light emitted from each of the plurality of segments of the 7-segment display unit, the information (characters, numbers, patterns) indicated by each of the plurality of segments of the 7-segment display unit of the first decorative unit 3211 on the back and back. , Etc.) can be easily identified individually. Further, since the light from the LED arranged in the penetrating portion can be radiated from each segment in the 7-segment display portion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 without leaking to the outside of the penetrating portion, the amount of light in the penetrating portion. It is possible to suppress a decrease in (brightness).

Similarly, the light emitted from the LED arranged in the penetrating portion corresponding to each predetermined character (here, "JACKPOT") of the second decorative portion 3212 on the back and back leaks into the penetrating portion corresponding to the other characters. It is possible to suppress the interference of the light emitted from each of the predetermined characters, so that it is possible to easily identify each of the predetermined characters of the second decorative portion 3212 on the back and back. Further, since the light from the LED arranged in the penetrating portion can be radiated from each of the predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") of the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 without leaking to the outside of the penetrating portion. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of light (brightness) in the penetrating portion.

Further, in addition to the above-mentioned structure of the back-rear upper movable decoration body 3210, or separately from the above-mentioned structure of the back-rear upper movable decoration body 3210 (without adopting the structure of the back-rear upper movable decoration body 3210), the back side is used. The back rear upper first decoration board on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 in which the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 are lined up side by side and the predetermined characters (here) Then, on the surface on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted, the back rear upper second decorative substrate on which the LED for light emitting and decorating the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 in which "JACKPOT") is arranged is mounted and the surface on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted is white. Instead of the solder resist (protective material) of the above, a dark color (black, purple, dark blue, dark green, etc.) solder resist (protective material) having low reflection efficiency may be coated. In this case, the LED mounting surface of the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. Although the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface of the back-back-upper second decorative substrate is reduced, the light from each through portion can emit light independently without interfering with each other. Characters, numbers, patterns, etc. indicated by the five 7-segment display units of the decoration unit 3211 and predetermined characters of the second decoration unit 3212 on the back and back can be clearly displayed, and these information can be displayed to the player. I can tell you exactly.

It should be noted that the LED mounting surface of the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted, and the back on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is mounted. Even when the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative board is coated with a dark solder resist (protective material), the back rear upper first decorative board on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is not mounted. The LED non-mounting surface of the back rear upper second decorative substrate and the LED non-mounting surface of the back rear upper second decorative substrate on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is mounted are other than dark colors (for example, white or green). A solder resist (protective material) may be coated. Further, the LED mounting surface of the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted, and the back on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is mounted. A white solder resist (protective material) is coated only on the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate and the inner region of the penetrating portion, or a white coating film is formed by silk printing or the like, and the outer region of the penetrating portion is formed. A dark-colored solder resist (protective material) may be coated on the surface, or a dark-colored coating film may be formed by silk printing or the like. While suppressing interference, the light emitted from the LEDs arranged in the penetrating part is reflected at a high rate to each segment of the five 7-segment display parts of the back-rear-upper movable decoration 3210 and the back-rear upper second decoration. Each of the predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") of the part 3212 can be brightly luminescently decorated.

In addition, the back-back-up movable decoration corresponding to each segment of the five 7-segment display units of the back-back-up movable decoration body 3210 and the predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") of the back-back-up second decoration part 3212. On the surface of the body 3210 (the part where the penetrating portion is formed), a translucent (white turbid frosted glass-like) film having translucency or a translucent translucent (red, etc. in this example). A cover body made of the above resin or the like may be provided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the light from the LED that emits light and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 from being directly viewed, so that the player does not feel dazzling. can do. Further, by making the film or the cover body emit light from the surface, the light source becomes inconspicuous when the LED that emits light and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the LED that emits light and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212. can do.

Further, the LED mounting surface of the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED for emitting and decorating the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted, and the back on which the LED for emitting and decorating the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is mounted. The letters and symbols to avoid confusion between the LED mounting surface of the second decorative board on the rear and the electronic components such as LEDs mounted on the rear upper decorative board and other decorative boards are colors with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). It is applied by screen printing using the ink of. It should be noted that the LED mounting surface of the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted, and the back on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is mounted. One or both of the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate may be screen-printed on the LED mounting surface using ink of a color having low brightness or saturation (for example, green). , Characters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic components such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative boards are foil-free characters (that is, with a wiring pattern that is copper foil in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed). The surface of this foil-free character is coated with a dark-colored solder resist (protective material) that is coated on the mounting surface of the LED. Alternatively, the LED non-mounting surface (back surface) may be screen-printed with ink of a predetermined color (including not only a color having high brightness and saturation but also a color having low brightness and saturation). Also in this case, the LED mounting surface of the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the LED that emits and decorates the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. It is possible to suppress the interference of light with the LED mounting surface of the second decorative substrate on the back and back.

Further, the back rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LED for emitting and decorating the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted, and the back rear upper second on which the LED for emitting and decorating the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is mounted. The decorative substrate is firmly attached to the back-back-up movable decorative body 3210 (at least a part of the back-back-up movable decorative body 3210, the back-back-upper first decorative board, or the back-back-upper second decorative board due to welding, etc.). It may be mounted in an irreversible mounting state that cannot be removed unless it is destroyed), whereby the LED mounting surfaces of the back rear upper first decorative board and the back rear upper second decorative board can be mounted on the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the LED mounted on the back-rear upper first decorative board and the back-rear upper second decorative board from being defective due to mischief or the like.

It should be noted that, among the plurality of decorative boards on which a plurality of LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group are mounted, an LED for emitting and decorating the 7-segment display unit on a part of any of the decorative boards. That is, when mounting a plurality of LEDs (dimming LED group) whose light amount can be adjusted and a plurality of LEDs (non-dimming LED group) whose light amount cannot be adjusted on one decorative substrate. May provide a decorative body on which the penetration portion is formed on the LED mounting surface of the non-dimming LED group. In this case, the effect of suppressing reflection and interference of light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED is further enhanced.

As described above, information such as characters, numbers, and patterns is displayed on the back rear upper first decorative section 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative section 3212, and important information is displayed in the game production. It can play an important role such as. It should be noted that the control may be performed directly by the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. In this case, the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 is the first on the back side based on the control signal from the main control board 1310. Compared to the case of controlling the decorative unit 3211 and the second decorative unit 3212 on the back and back, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects (contents different from the originally displayed contents are displayed, etc.), and it does not give a disadvantage to the player or the like. Can be done.

Further, the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 performs the peripheral control unit steady processing about every 33.3 ms, whereas the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs the main control side timer interrupt process every 4 ms. The peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 controls the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative unit 3212 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310. The display contents of the rear upper first decorative section 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative section 3212 can be updated, and if a problem occurs, the back rear upper first decorative section 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative section 3212 may be displayed. Even if the content different from the originally displayed content is displayed, the displayed content can be immediately updated (after 4 ms) to change to the original displayed content, which does not give a disadvantage to the player or the like. That is, the back-rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the back-rear upper second decorative portion 3212 that display important information (highly important) are more than the light emitting decorations that do not display important information (less important). Since the control signal is output in a short cycle to update the light emitting mode of the light emitting means (LED), there is a problem with the display contents of the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative unit 3212 that display important information. Even if the above occurs, the display content can be changed to the normal display content immediately, and it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by displaying the content different from the original content. Further, when the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 is configured to control the back rear upper first decorative unit 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative unit 3212 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310. A communication error may occur between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510, and problems may occur in the information shown by the back rear upper first decorative section 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative section 3212. In the example, the main control board 1310 directly controls the back-rear upper first decorative unit 3211 and the back-rear upper second decorative unit 3212, so that the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 has the back-rear upper first decorative unit 3211 and the like. Compared to the case of controlling the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212, the information shown by the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 is less likely to cause a problem, which is disadvantageous to the player. It can be suppressed from giving.

[Transformation example 1 of rainbow color production]
Next, a modified example of the above-mentioned rainbow-colored effect will be described. In this example, the player can determine the jackpot expectation degree by pressing the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect. In the first modification, only the parts different from the above-described embodiment will be described, and no duplicate explanation will be given.

Specifically, when the rainbow-colored effect is executed as shown in FIG. 244, if the variable display with a high expectation of a big hit is being executed, such as the decorative pattern becoming reach after the rainbow-colored effect, the present invention is concerned. Even if the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed at the timing t6 during the execution of the rainbow color effect, the rainbow color effect is continuously executed until the timing t100 without ending the rainbow color effect.

On the other hand, when the rainbow color effect is executed as shown in FIG. 245, the rainbow color effect is not being executed unless the variable display having a high expectation of a big hit is being executed, such as the decorative design does not reach after the rainbow color effect. When the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed at the timing t6 during execution, the rainbow-colored effect being executed ends at the timing t6 when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed. The effect display device 1600 displays a predetermined effect mode (for example, variable display of a decorative pattern), and various decorations provided on the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3. The LED on the substrate is controlled to emit light in a predetermined light emitting mode (a part or all of the LED may be turned off).

As a result, it is possible to determine the possibility of a big hit when the rainbow color effect is executed, and the player presses the effect operation unit 300 during the period from timing t2 to timing t100 when the rainbow color effect is executed. The operation unit 303 can be directed to be positively pressed. Further, when the player presses the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 during the period from timing t2 to timing t100 when the rainbow color effect is executed and determines that the jackpot expectation is high, the game interest is improved. Can be made to.

After the rainbow color effect being executed is completed based on the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 during the execution of the rainbow color effect, the effect display device 1600 has nothing to do with the rainbow color effect. The effect display may be executed. As a result, the player can be made aware that the rainbow-colored effect has ended, and can surely recognize that the jackpot expectation is low. Further, when the effect display device 1600 executes the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect, the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect can be terminated according to the operation of the effect operation unit 300. Alternatively, if the effect operation unit 300 is not operated for a predetermined period during the execution of the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect, the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect is terminated. You may do it. Further, when a predetermined start condition is satisfied after finishing the effect display unrelated to the rainbow-colored effect executed by the effect display device 1600 (for example, the effect operation unit 300 is not operated for a predetermined period). In this case, or when the non-variable effect period in which the variable effect is not executed becomes a predetermined predetermined period, the rainbow-colored effect may be restarted. As a result, the light emitting mode and the display mode of the rainbow-colored effect are imprinted in the player's mind, and when the rainbow-colored effect is executed in the variable effect to be executed thereafter, the variable effect with a high expectation of a big hit is executed. It is possible to operate the production operation unit 300 with the expectation that.

Further, when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operating unit 300 is pressed while the rainbow color effect is being executed in FIG. 245, it is provided on the LEDs and the door frame 3 of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5. After finishing the rainbow-colored effect emission decoration on the LEDs of the various decorative substrates, the rainbow-colored effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is delayed by a predetermined period from the timing when the rainbow-colored effect emission decoration is finished. Ends the production display such as. As a result, it is possible to prevent the display content from being suddenly switched in the effect display device 1600, and to switch the display content while leaving the afterglow of the effect display such as the rainbow-colored effect display mode.

Further, a predetermined sound may be output when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during the execution of the rainbow color effect. In this case, the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 may be output. After outputting a predetermined sound based on the pressing operation, the predetermined timing is higher than the timing at which the predetermined sound is output (the timing may be the same as or different from the timing at which the rainbow-colored light emission decoration is finished). Period (when a predetermined sound is output at the same timing as the timing when the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration is finished, the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration is for the same period as the predetermined period from the timing when the rainbow-colored luminescent decoration is finished. When a predetermined sound is output at a timing different from the timing at which the rainbow color effect is output, a period different from the predetermined period from the timing at which the emission decoration of the rainbow color effect is completed) You may end the effect display of. Also in this case, it is possible to prevent the display content from being suddenly switched in the effect display device 1600, and to switch the display content while leaving the afterglow of the effect display such as the rainbow-colored effect display mode.

Further, when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operating unit 300 is pressed during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the various types provided on the door frame 3 are provided. After finishing the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect on the LED of the decorative board, the rainbow color of the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 again. You may want to start the light emitting decoration of the production. In this case, after finishing the light emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect on the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3, the effect display device 1600 Before ending the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode in the game board 5 (with the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 continued), the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 again. The light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect in the LED and the LED of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 may be started. As a result, it is possible to improve the interest of the player who is discouraged by judging that the expectation of a big hit is low due to the end of the rainbow-colored effect, and to pay attention to the rainbow-colored effect again.

Further, in addition to the above example, the jackpot expectation may be determined by changing the sound output mode during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect. For example, if the above-mentioned rainbow-colored effect is being executed and a variable display with a high expectation of a big hit is being executed, such as the decorative pattern becoming reach after the rainbow-colored effect, the mode corresponding to the rainbow-colored effect is executed. While the sound output is executed, if the rainbow color effect is executed and the variable display with high expectation of big hit is not being executed, such as the decorative pattern does not reach after the rainbow color effect, the rainbow color effect is applied. It is possible to execute the sound output of another aspect or not to execute the sound output without executing the sound output of one aspect. In this case as well, the jackpot expectation can be determined by the execution of the rainbow-colored effect and the mode of sound output, and when it is determined that the jackpot expectation is high, the game entertainment can be improved.

[Transformation example 2 of rainbow color production]
In the above-mentioned rainbow-colored effect, the one that does not involve the movement of the movable body is shown. The operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect may be performed. Hereinafter, it is shown as a modification 2. In the second modification, only the parts different from the above-described embodiment will be described, and no duplicate explanation will be given.

As shown in FIG. 246, the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed by the player at the timing t2, or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is not pressed, and the button valid period (for example, 5). When the rainbow color effect is started according to the elapse of (seconds) (timing t2), a plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front lower middle decorative board 3168 belonging to the 4th board light emitting group have a predetermined light emitting color (in this example). After emitting light in blue), it is controlled to change the emission color every predetermined period (for example, 0.1 seconds) (in this example, "blue" → "purple" → "red" → "white" → "yellow". "→" Green "→" Blue "→" Purple "→ ...).

Further, the button valid period (for example, 5 seconds) elapses without the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 being pressed by the player at the timing t2 or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 being pressed. When the rainbow-colored effect is started in response to the above, the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 of the back front lower middle decorative board 3168 provided with the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 rises from the normal standby position as shown in FIG. Then, the front of the effect display device 1600 (in this example, a part of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 rises so as to overlap the front of the effect display device 1600. In this example, the effect display device 1600 rises near the center of the effect display device 1600. The entire back, front, lower, and middle decorative bodies 3161 may be raised so as to overlap the front of the effect display device 1600), and rotate around an axis in the front-rear direction.

As a result, during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, the light emitting decoration by the LED and the operation by the movable body (back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168) are executed in front of the effect display device 1600, and the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is executed. Since a plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 for light emission decoration change the light emission color at predetermined period (for example, 0.1 second), it is possible to perform a high-profile effect. In addition, the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is exposed in front of the effect display device 1600, and the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 rotates in a state where the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 partially overlaps with the effect display device 1600. It can make you think that there is something good, and you can raise the expectation for the game.

Further, when the rainbow-colored effect is finished (timing t99), the rotation of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 around the axis in the front-rear direction is stopped and the effect display device 1600 descends from the front to the normal standby position. Stop. In this example, the reach of the decorative pattern is generated in the effect display device 1600 in synchronization with the movement of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 to the normal standby position. In this way, by rotating the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 that appears in front of the effect display device 1600 while emitting light decoration, a part of the effect display device 1600 is covered and the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is used. In order to draw attention, the player can be surprised when the decorative pattern reaches the effect display device 1600 in synchronization with the movement of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 to the normal standby position, and the expectation for the big hit can be raised. ..

In addition, when an abnormal state occurs during the execution of the variation effect for executing the rainbow color effect as described above, a plurality of mounted on the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 for emitting and decorating the back front lower middle decorative body 3161. The rainbow-colored effect of the LED decoration is finished. As a result, the rainbow-colored effect is not performed in an incomplete form.

On the other hand, the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 does not stop the operation even if an abnormal state occurs during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, and performs the same operation as in the state where the abnormal state has not occurred. .. In addition, even if an abnormal state occurs before the start of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, the operation is performed at the timing when the original rainbow color effect is started in the same manner as in the state where the abnormal state does not occur. It has become. That is, if the light emission control of the rainbow color effect cannot be realized in the perfect form as designed, the light emission decoration by the plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front lower middle decorative board 3168 is stopped or executed, but the rainbow color is used. As for the operation that does not affect the light emitting decoration of the production, it is executed as planned (as designed) without stopping. As a result, it is possible to make the player recognize that the variable effect is continuing, and it is possible to prevent the player from misunderstanding that the variable effect has ended due to the cancellation of the rainbow-colored effect.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 247, when an abnormality occurs at the timing t6 during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is mounted on the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 that emits and decorates the back front lower middle decorative body 3161. The light emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect by the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 including the plurality of LEDs is terminated and controlled to the extinguished state. Then, even if the door frame 3 is closed during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect and the abnormality is resolved, the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect is not restored (the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect is not restarted). There is.

On the other hand, even if an abnormality occurs at the timing t6 in which the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow color effect (timing t6), the operation linked to the rainbow color effect of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 Is not stopped, and the operation linked to the predetermined rainbow-colored effect is continuously executed (timing t6 to timing t100). In this way, when an abnormality occurs during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect, the back-front lower-middle decorative body 3161 is continued to operate while the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow-colored effect is terminated. It is possible to make the player recognize that the fluctuation effect is continuing by continuing the movement of, and it is possible to prevent anxiety.

In addition, even if an abnormality occurs in the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, and the abnormality is resolved before the end of the rainbow color effect and the abnormal state is restored to the normal state, the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is light-emittingly decorated. The light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect by the plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front lower middle decorative board 3168 is not restarted. In other words, if an abnormality occurs during the execution of the rainbow-colored effect in the variable effect that executes the rainbow-colored effect, and the abnormality is resolved and the abnormal state is restored to the normal state before the rainbow-colored effect is completed, the back side is displayed. The front lower middle decorative body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow-colored effect in a light-off state in which the light emitting decoration is not performed. As a result, when the rainbow-colored effect display mode is displayed on the effect display device 1600, an abnormal state occurs in the variable effect that executes the rainbow-colored effect depending on whether or not the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is light-emitting decorated. It is possible to determine what has been done, and it is possible to suppress the occurrence of fraudulent acts and the like.

It should be noted that, depending on the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), whether or not to continue or start the operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 may be different, for example, as described above. For errors that have a small effect on the game, continue the operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect of the back front, lower, middle, and middle decorations 3161, or execute the operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect as scheduled (operate at the timing set in the scheduler). On the other hand, for errors that have a significant effect on the game, the operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is stopped (after the operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect is stopped, it is returned to the normal standby position. By controlling so that the operation linked to the rainbow-colored effect scheduled in advance (set in the scheduler) is not performed, the variable effect can be stopped even during the execution of the variable effect. The variation effect may be interrupted or terminated. As a result, the operating state of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 can be changed according to the degree of error, and it becomes possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality.

Further, depending on the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), whether or not to eliminate the display of the rainbow-colored effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 may be different, and the influence on the above-mentioned game is small, for example. Regarding an error, a warning display (for example, "door is open", etc.) is displayed so that a part of the rainbow color effect display mode is overlapped with the rainbow color effect display mode without losing the display of the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600. For errors that have a significant effect on Even if there is, the display of the rainbow-colored effect (rainbow-colored effect display mode) may be interrupted or terminated. As a result, the display mode of the effect display device 1600 can be changed according to the degree of error, and it becomes possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality.

In addition, as shown in the first modification of the rainbow-colored effect, when a variable display with a high expectation of a big hit is executed, such as a decorative pattern reaching after the rainbow-colored effect, be sure or at a predetermined ratio. Back front lower middle The decorative body 3161 is operated in conjunction with the rainbow color effect, and if the variable display with high expectation of big hits such as the decorative pattern does not reach after the rainbow color effect is not executed, the back front The lower middle decorative body 3161 may not be operated in conjunction with the rainbow-colored effect. As a result, if the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow color effect, the expectation for a big hit can be improved, and the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow color effect. Even if this is not the case, there is a possibility that the variable display with a high expectation of a big hit is being executed, so that the expectation for a big hit can be kept.

Further, although the above-described embodiments (all embodiments including the first and second modifications) show those related to the rainbow-colored effect, the present technical idea can be applied to the effects other than the rainbow-colored effect. For example, in the second modification, the application is not limited to the case where the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is operated in conjunction with the rainbow-colored effect, but is also applicable to the case where the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is operated in conjunction with other effects.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to suitable embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and as shown below, various improvements are made without departing from the gist of the present invention. And the design can be changed.

For example, in the above embodiment, the separation holes (separation hole 1023, separation hole 1822c, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, separation hole 1823c, separation hole 1827c, separation hole 1828c, etc. ) Is shown as a hole-shaped one that penetrates, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a slit-shaped one or a notch-shaped one may be used.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko machine is exemplified as the game machine, but it can also be applied to other game machines such as a sparrow ball machine and an arrange ball machine, and further, a plurality of drums using a game medal ( It can also be applied to a slot machine that rotates a spinning drum or a reel. Here, the slot machine will be described with reference to FIG. 209. FIG. 209 is a schematic perspective view of the slot machine.
