The AT movable member 14k is a member capable of advancing and retreating in the front-rear direction. The large winning opening 14 takes a ball entry mode when the AT movable member 14k is advanced forward. Specifically, when the AT movable member 14k advances forward, the game ball that has flowed down to the AT movable member 14k can move along the upper surface of the AT movable member 14k, and a large prize is awarded at the destination. A game ball may be guided to the mouth 14. As a result, in the ball entry mode, the game ball can be entered into the large winning opening 14. On the other hand, the large winning opening 14 takes a non-entry mode when the AT movable member 14k is retracted backward. When the AT movable member 14k is in a non-entry mode in which the AT movable member 14k is retracted backward, the game ball flows further downward without being guided to the large winning opening 14 by the AT movable member 14k. When the game balls enter the large winning opening 14, a predetermined number (14 in this embodiment) of the game balls are paid out as prize balls.

Further, the large prize-winning device 14D of the present embodiment includes a specific area and a non-specific area. That is, in the present embodiment, as a route of the game ball after entering the large winning opening 14, a route passing through a specific area and a route passing through a non-specific area are provided. Therefore, the large winning device 14D has a distribution member that distributes the game ball that has entered the large winning opening 14 to either a route that passes through a specific area or a route that passes through a non-specific area. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the passage of the gaming ball to a specific area triggers the transition to the high-probability state described later. That is, the specific area is a probabilistic actuation port. On the other hand, the non-specific area is not a probabilistic actuation port.

In addition, the entry of the game ball into the first start port 11, the second start port 12, the large winning opening 14, and the general winning opening 10 and the passage of the game ball through the gate 13 are collectively referred to as the first starting port 11, Collectively referred to as "winning" to the second starting opening 12, the large winning opening 14, the general winning opening 10, and the gate 13.

By the way, the game area 6 on which the game ball can flow down can be roughly divided into a left game area 6A on the left side of the center in the left-right direction and a right game area 6B on the right side. The operation mode of the handle 72k that launches the game ball so that the game ball flows down the left game area 6A is called "left-handed". On the other hand, the operation mode of the handle 72k that launches the game ball so that the game ball flows down the right game area 6B is called "right-handed". Further, in the game area 6, the flow path through which the game ball can flow down when the game ball is launched by hitting left is called the first flow path R1, and the game ball is launched when the game ball is launched by hitting right. The flow path that can flow down is called the second flow path R2.

A first starting port 11 and a plurality of general winning openings 10 are provided on the first flow path R1. Therefore, the player can aim to win a prize in the first starting opening 11 or the general winning opening 10 by firing the game ball so as to flow down the first flow path R1 by hitting left. On the other hand, a second starting port 12, a gate 13, and a large winning opening 14 are provided on the second flow path R2. Therefore, the player can aim to win a prize in the gate 13, the second starting opening 12, or the large winning opening 14 by launching the game ball so as to flow down the second flow path R2 by hitting right.

It should be noted that, at the substantially lowermost portion of the game area 6, two out ports 19 are provided to discharge the game balls that have been driven into the game area 6 but have not won any of the winning openings to the outside of the game area 6. There is.

The indicators 8 can display the progress of the game, such as the result of the big hit lottery. The indicators 8 will be described in detail later.

Further, the game board unit YU has an image display device 50, a first movable device 55, and a second movable device 56 provided in the effect unit EU behind the game board 1. The image display device 50 can display a predetermined effect image on the display unit (display screen) 50a. The image display device 50 is a liquid crystal display in this embodiment. Further, the image display device 50 is provided so that the display unit 50a is located near the center of the game board unit YU. Therefore, the player can visually recognize the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 through the opening 1A of the game board 1.

The image display device 50 can display, for example, the effect symbol EZ on the display unit 50a. The effect symbol EZ of this embodiment is composed of a left effect symbol EZ1, a middle effect symbol EZ2, and a right effect symbol EZ3. The left effect symbol EZ1 is displayed on the left side of the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 is displayed on the right side of the middle effect symbol EZ2. In this embodiment, when the left effect symbol EZ1, the middle effect symbol EZ2, and the right effect symbol EZ3 are collectively referred to, they may be referred to as "effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 or effect symbols EZ1 to EZ3".

Each of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 is composed of a plurality of identification information that can be identified by the player. In this embodiment, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are mainly composed of symbols including numbers from "1" to "8". Then, in the variable display of the effect symbol EZ, the symbol group including the numbers constituting the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are arranged vertically in the front view and scrolls from the top to the bottom of the display unit 50a. At this time, the numbers displayed on the display unit 50a and visually recognized are replaced one after another.

The variable display of the effect symbol EZ is not limited to the vertical scrolling mode, but may be another mode such as a horizontal scrolling mode (for example, from right to left). Further, instead of the scroll display, the symbol group including the numbers constituting the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, EZ3 may be replaced one after another at a predetermined fixed position (for example, the rotation may be performed at the fixed position).

Then, when the special figure is stopped and displayed, the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 are stopped and displayed in a predetermined arrangement (combination). That is, in the variable display, the symbols including various numbers that have been replaced one after another in the display unit 50a are specified as one. At this time, the result of the special figure lottery is displayed in an easy-to-understand manner by the combination of the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 that have been stopped and displayed. That is, the player generally grasps the result of the special drawing lottery on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50.

In addition, a reach effect may be performed in the variable display of the effect symbol EZ. Reach is an effect that allows a player to expect a big hit by using the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3 in the special figure variation effect. Specifically, the reach is a state in which only one scroll-displayed effect symbol is left among the effect symbols EZ1, EZ2, and EZ3, and the scroll-displayed effect symbol is stopped and displayed at which symbol. It is a state (for example, a state of "5 ↓ 5") in which a combination of effect symbols indicating a big hit is achieved depending on the scroll.

The effect symbols that are not scroll-displayed in the reach are temporarily stopped at a predetermined position in the display unit 50a. Temporary stop means that a predetermined effect symbol stays at a substantially predetermined position (the predetermined effect symbol continues to be displayed in the display unit 50a), that is, it is not replaced with a different effect symbol, but a slight fluctuation (for example, a little). Repeated reciprocating motion in the vertical direction, repeated some rocking, repeated expansion and contraction, etc.). The mode of temporary stop is not limited to these, and may be appropriately set.

Further, in the image display device 50, in addition to the above-mentioned variable effect of the effect symbol EZ (also referred to as "effect symbol variable effect" or simply "variable effect"), the big hit effect performed in parallel with the big hit game, and the customer. The waiting demo effect and the like are displayed on the display unit 50a. In the effect symbol variation effect, in addition to the effect symbols such as numbers, the effect images other than the effect symbols such as the background image and the character image are also displayed.

Further, the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56 are decorative portions that can be decorated, and are devices that can be operated according to the fluctuation effect of the effect symbol EZ (when a reach occurs or a big hit). By the effect operation, the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56 can increase the expectation and satisfaction of the player and improve the hobby of the game. The effect unit EU including the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56 will be described in detail later.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the display devices 8 provided on the game board 1. As shown in FIG. 4, the indicators include a special figure 1 display 81a for variably displaying the first special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 1”) and a second special symbol (hereinafter referred to as “special figure 2”). It includes a special figure 2 display 81b that variably displays (referred to as), and a normal figure display 82 that variably displays a normal symbol (hereinafter referred to as "normal figure"). Further, the indicators include a special figure 1 hold indicator 83a for displaying the special figure 1 hold number described later, and a special figure 2 hold indicator 83b for displaying the special figure 2 hold number described later.

The variable display of the special figure 1 is executed when the special figure 1 lottery triggered by the winning of the game ball to the first starting port 11 is performed. Further, the variable display of the special figure 2 is executed when the special figure 2 lottery triggered by the winning of the game ball to the second starting port 12 is performed. The special figure 1 lottery and the special figure 2 lottery will be described later. In the following description, special figure 1 and special figure 2 are collectively referred to as "special figure", and special figure 1 lottery and special figure 2 lottery are collectively referred to as "special figure lottery". Further, the special figure 1 display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are collectively referred to as "special figure display 81". Further, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b are collectively referred to as "special figure hold indicator 83".

The variable display of the special figure informs the result of the special figure lottery. In the variable display of the special figure, the special figure is displayed in a variable manner and then stopped. The stop-displayed special figure (stop special figure) is identification information representing the result of the special figure lottery derived as the display result of the variable display. If the stop-displayed special figure is a predetermined special figure, a big hit game is performed with the opening of the big winning opening 14.

The special figure 1 display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b are each composed of eight LEDs arranged side by side. The lighting mode of the special figure 1 display 81a and the special figure 2 display 81b represents a special figure corresponding to the result of the special figure lottery, that is, the result of the special figure lottery. For example, if the result of the special drawing lottery is a big hit, the final result is "□□ ■■ □□ ■■" (□: lit, ■: off), which is the first, second, fifth, and sixth from the left. A certain LED lights up. This lighting mode is a jackpot symbol and represents a jackpot. If the result of the special drawing lottery is lost, only the LED on the far right, such as "■■■■■■■ □", will finally light up. This lighting mode is a loss symbol and represents a loss. The lighting mode of the LED corresponding to the result of the special drawing lottery is not limited and can be set as appropriate. Therefore, for example, all the LEDs may be turned off as a lost pattern.

Further, in the variable display of the special map, the variable display of the special map is performed over a predetermined fluctuation time before the special map is stopped and displayed. The mode of the variable display of the special figure is, for example, a mode in which each LED is turned on so that light repeatedly flows from left to right. The mode of the variable display is not particularly limited, and if each LED is not stopped and displayed (lighting display in a specific mode), all the LEDs may be appropriately set such as blinking all at once.

By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the special drawing lottery and the variable display of the special drawing may not be performed immediately even if the gaming ball wins a prize in the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12. Specifically, it is a case where a prize is given to the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 of the game ball during the execution of the variable display of the special figure or the execution of the jackpot game. In this case, the right to execute the special drawing lottery and the variable display of the special drawing based on the winning is reserved up to the predetermined number. This reserved right is called "special figure reservation".

The special figure hold includes the special figure 1 lottery reserved based on the winning of the first start port 11 and the "special figure 1 hold" indicating the right to execute the variable display of the special figure 1 and the second start port. There are a special figure 2 lottery reserved based on the winning of the prize 12 and a "special figure 2 hold" indicating the right to execute the variable display of the special figure 2. Then, the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a displays the number of the special figure 1 hold, that is, the number of the reserved special figure 1 lottery and the number of rights to execute the variable display of the special figure 1. On the other hand, the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b displays the number of special figure 2 hold, that is, the number of reserved special figure 2 lottery and the number of rights to execute the variable display of special figure 2.

Each of the special figure 1 hold indicator 83a and the special figure 2 hold indicator 83b is composed of four LEDs, and by turning on the LEDs for the number of the special figure 1 hold and the special figure 2 hold.

On the other hand, the right end portion 696R of the torsion coil spring 696 shown in FIG. 13 is fixed to the second left / right transmission shaft 695 and can rotate together with the second left / right transmission shaft 695. Therefore, by rotating the second left and right transmission shaft 695, the torsion coil spring 696 can store energy and release the stored energy. That is, in a state where energy is stored in the torsion coil spring 696, the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696 is released by rotating the second left and right transmission shaft 695 in the direction in which the energy is released from the torsion coil spring 696. , Can be used to drive the second movable device 56.

In this embodiment, the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696 can be transmitted to the second vertical moving portion 600, so that it can be used as an auxiliary for driving by the second vertical motor 690 m. That is, while releasing energy from the torsion coil spring 696, the released energy drives the second vertical motor 690 m in the direction in which the second vertical moving portion 600 moves, so that only the driving force of the second vertical motor 690 m is driven. It is possible to move the second vertical movement unit 600 at a higher speed than when it is moved by the above. As a result, it is possible to increase the power of the production by moving the second vertical moving portion 600, and to further improve the interest. The second vertical moving portion 600 may be operated only by the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696.

Further, in the torsion coil spring 696 of the present embodiment, energy is stored when the second left-right transmission shaft 695 is rotated so that the second vertical moving portion 600 moves downward, and the second vertical moving portion 600 moves upward. Energy is released when it is rotated to do so. Therefore, the torsion coil spring 696 has the maximum energy stored when the second vertical moving portion 600 is located at the lowermost position. Then, in this embodiment, the energy released from the torsion coil spring 696 can be used to move the second vertical moving portion 600 in a direction (upward) that opposes gravity. Therefore, it is possible to increase the upward moving speed of the second vertical moving portion 600, which tends to be slow depending on the weight. Further, it is possible to increase the acceleration of the second vertical movement unit 600, for example, to increase the initial speed of movement of the second vertical movement unit 600.

Further, the second vertical movement portion 600 has a second bridge portion 603 that connects the second left upper and lower portion 601 and the second right upper and lower portion 602. Both ends of the second bridge portion 603 in the left-right direction are fixed to the second left upper and lower portions 601 and the second right upper and lower portions 602, respectively. The second left / right moving portion 610 is provided in the second bridge portion 603 of the second vertical moving portion 600.

FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of the second left-right moving portion 610. As shown in FIG. 14, the upper and lower portions of the second bridge portion 603 are left and right movement guide portions 604. Further, at the lower part of the second bridge portion 603, a left-right moving rack portion 605 composed of rack teeth arranged side by side in the left-right direction is provided. Further, grooves 606, 607, and 608 are formed on the front surface of the second bridge portion 603. The grooves 606, 607, and 608 are used for detecting the position of the second left-right moving portion 610, which will be described later, in the left-right direction.

The second left / right moving portion 610 includes an upper left / right moving roller 611 in which the outer peripheral surface contacts the upper surface of the left / right moving guide portion 604 of the second bridge portion 603, and lower left / right in which the outer peripheral surface contacts the lower surface of the left / right moving guide portion 604. The moving rollers 612 and the moving rollers 612 are rotatably supported. That is, the upper left / right moving roller 611 and the lower left / right moving roller 612 of the second left / right moving portion 610 sandwich the second bridge portion 603 from the vertical direction. Further, the upper left / right moving roller 611 and the lower left / right moving roller 612 of the present embodiment have a brim, and the second bridge portion 603 is sandwiched by the brim from the front-rear direction. As a result, the second left-right moving portion 610 is movably supported along the second bridge portion 603.

The second left-right movement unit 610 has a second left-right movement base 613. The second left-right movement base 613 is a base member provided with an up-left-right movement roller 611, a down-left-right movement roller 612, and the like. Further, the second left-right movement unit 610 has a second left-right movement mechanism unit 620 that constitutes a mechanism for moving in the left-right direction. The second left-right movement mechanism unit 620 is provided with a second left-right motor 610 m or the like, which is a drive source for the movement of the second left-right movement unit 610 in the left-right direction. Each component of the second left-right movement mechanism unit 620 is attached to the second left-right movement base 613 together with the second left-right movement holder 614.

Further, the second left-right movement mechanism unit 620 is provided with a left-right position detection unit 640 used for detecting the position of the second left-right movement unit 610 in the left-right direction. The left-right position detection unit 640 of the present embodiment has a first left-right position detection unit 640a and a second left-right position detection unit 640b located above the first left-right position detection unit 640a.

A second front-rear axis rotating portion 630 is provided in front of the second left-right moving portion 610. As shown in FIG. 14, the second front-rear shaft rotating portion 630 is a rotation mechanism of the design portion 631 constituting the front design, the substrate portion 632 having electronic components such as LEDs for light emission, and the second front-rear shaft rotating portion 630. It has a rotation mechanism unit 635 constituting the above. The design portion 631 has a decoration on the front surface 631a, and in this embodiment, a design imitating a soccer ball is applied. The rotation mechanism unit 635 includes a second front-rear shaft rotation motor 630 m, which is a drive source for rotational movement of the second front-rear shaft rotation unit 630.

FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the second left / right moving portion 610 at the position of the second left / right moving holder 614. Further, FIG. 15 shows a case where the second left-right moving unit 610 is in the lower right standby state. As shown in FIG. 15, the second left-right movement holder 614 has a convex portion 614a protruding to the right side.

Further, FIG. 15 shows a stopper 59. In this embodiment, the stopper 59 is fixed and does not move. Further, the stopper 59 has a convex portion 59a protruding to the left side. That is, the second left-right movement holder 614 has a convex portion 614a protruding toward the stopper 59 side, and the stopper 59 has a convex portion 59a protruding toward the second left-right movement holder 614 side. Further, the convex portion 59a of the stopper 59 is provided so as to be located above the convex portion 614a of the second left-right movement holder 614 in the standby state.

Therefore, in the second movable device 56 of the present embodiment, it is not possible to move only upward from the standby state. That is, when trying to move only upward from the standby state, the convex portion 614a of the second left-right movement holder 614 abuts on the convex portion 59a of the stopper 59. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to set the restricted state in which the movement of the second vertical moving portion 600 is restricted when the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696 is the maximum standby state. This prevents the second vertical moving portion 600 from moving at a timing not scheduled to move due to the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696.

Then, the second left-right movement holder 614 is moved from the standby state to the left until the convex portion 614a does not overlap the convex portion 59a of the stopper 59 in the left-right direction, so that the second vertical movement portion 600 is moved upward. It can be in a movable restriction release state. Further, by setting the restriction release state, it is possible to make the second vertical moving portion 600 move upward using the energy stored in the torsion coil spring 696. In this embodiment, the second left / right movement holder 614 is moved in the left-right direction to switch between the restricted state and the restricted release state of the second vertical moving portion 600. Such switching is performed on the stopper 59 side. It can also be done by moving it.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the second left-right movement mechanism unit 620. As shown in FIG. 16, the second left-right movement mechanism unit 620 has a motor gear 610 g, a first pinion transmission gear 621, a second pinion transmission gear 623, and a pinion 624. The motor gear 610 g is provided on the second left and right motor 610 m. Further, the motor gear 610 g, the first pinion transmission gear 621, the second pinion transmission gear 623, and the pinion 624 are provided in this order and mesh with adjacent gears. As a result, the driving force of the second left and right motor 610 m is transmitted to the pinion 624. Further, the pinion 624 meshes with the left-right moving rack portion 605. Therefore, the driving force of the second left-right motor 610 m makes it possible for the second left-right moving portion 610 to move along the second bridge portion 603.

Further, the second left-right movement mechanism portion 620 is provided with a slack suppressing portion 650. The slack suppressing portion 650 has a restraining rotating member 651 rotatably provided with respect to the second left-right moving holder 614. The restraint rotating member 651 is provided with a cable support roller 655 rotatably. Further, the restraining rotating member 651 has a cylindrical shape, and an internal gear 651g is formed on the inner wall surface thereof. Further, the slack suppressing unit 650 has a first suppressing transmission gear 656 and a second suppressing transmission gear 657 that mesh with each other. The first suppression transmission gear 656 meshes with the pinion 624, and the second suppression transmission gear 657 meshes with the internal gear 651g.

As a result, in the slack suppressing portion 650, the cable support roller 655 rotates and moves around the central axis of the internal gear 651 g by the driving force of the second left and right motors 610 m. That is, the cable support roller 655 is adapted to rotate and move in accordance with the movement of the second left-right moving portion 610 in the left-right direction. The direction of rotational movement of the cable support roller 655 in FIG. 16 is clockwise when the second left / right moving portion 610 moves to the left, and counterclockwise when the second left / right moving portion 610 moves to the right. ..

Further, FIG. 16 also shows a cable 615 connected to the second left-right moving portion 610. In the present embodiment, the cable 615 is a flexible flat cable having a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction in a cross section orthogonal to the wiring direction thereof. The cable 615 can supply electric power to sensors, drive sources, and the like provided in the second left-right moving unit 610, and can transmit and receive signals.

The first fixed position 616 of the cable 615 is fixed to the second right upper and lower portion 602, and the second fixed position 617 is fixed to the second left and right moving portion 610. Specifically, the second fixed position 617 is fixed to the second left-right movement holder 614. Therefore, the second fixed position 617 does not move with the rotation of the restraining rotating member 651.

Further, the support portion 618 between the first fixed position 616 and the second fixed position 617 of the cable 615 is wound around the cable support roller 655. As a result, the cable support roller 655 supports the inner peripheral surface of the bent portion by the outer peripheral surface while the support portion 618 of the cable 615 is used as the bent portion.

FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the slack suppressing unit 650 accompanying the movement of the second left / right moving unit 610. FIG. 17A shows the case where the second left / right moving portion 610 is located at the right end, and FIG. 17B shows the case where the second left / right moving portion 610 is located at the left end. There is. When the second left-right moving part 610 is located at the right end, as shown in FIG. 17A, the cable support roller 655 of the slack suppressing part 650 is located at the lower left of the second left-right moving part 610 (on the clock face). For example, it is located at about 8 o'clock). On the other hand, when the second left-right moving portion 610 is located at the left end, as shown in FIG. 17B, the cable support roller 655 of the slack suppressing portion 650 is above the second left-right moving portion 610 (clock face). If you compare it with the board, it is located at about 12 o'clock).

Further, when the second left / right moving portion 610 is located at the right end (FIG. 17 (A)), the cable support roller 655 is located at the lower left of the second left / right moving portion 610, so that the cable 615 is The portion of the slack suppressing portion 650 that is wound around the outer periphery of the suppressing rotating member 651 is long. At this time, the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is short.

On the other hand, when the second left-right moving portion 610 is located at the left end (FIG. 17B), the cable support roller 655 is located above the second left-right moving portion 610, so that the cable 615 is , The portion wound around the outer circumference of the restraint rotating member 651 is shortened. Further, at this time, the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is longer than when the second left-right moving portion 610 is located at the right end (FIG. 17A).

That is, the slack suppressing portion 650 of the present embodiment rotates and moves the cable support roller 655 so that the length of the unsupported section 615a becomes shorter as the second left / right moving portion 610 is located at the right end. .. By the operation of the slack suppressing section 650 accompanying the movement of the second left-right moving section 610, the tension of the cable 615 is maintained within a certain range in this embodiment, and the slack is suppressed. That is, when the cable support roller 655 sets an appropriate position of the cable 615 as a support point 618 according to the length of the non-support section 615a and forms an appropriate bending point, so that the non-support section 615a is long. A detour section is formed so as to appropriately absorb the difference between the short time and the short time.

In the cable 615, when the slack is generated due to the tension being lowered too much, the slack portion may be sandwiched between the movable portion and the fixed portion and may be damaged. However, in this embodiment, the slack in the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is appropriately suppressed by the slack suppressing portion 650. Therefore, in the cable 615 in which the slack is suppressed, the damage is appropriately suppressed.

Further, the cable 615 tends to be particularly prone to twisting and waviness at the bent points in the detour section formed to suppress the slack. The occurrence of twisting or waviness accelerates the deterioration of the cable 615 and may cause damage. However, in the present embodiment, since the bent portion is the support portion 618 supported by the cable support roller 655, twisting and waviness at the bent portion are appropriately suppressed. Therefore, deterioration and damage of the cable 615 are appropriately suppressed. As a result, malfunctions of the second left-right moving portion 610 and the like are suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 17, the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 of this embodiment is provided so that its wiring direction extends horizontally (left-right direction). As a result, the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is provided parallel to the longitudinal direction of the second bridge portion 603. Further, the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is provided so as to extend in the moving direction of the second left-right moving portion 610. For example, when the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 is provided so as to intersect the longitudinal direction of the second bridge portion 603 and the moving direction of the second left / right moving portion 610, the movement of the second left / right moving portion 610 The movement of the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 due to the above is a conspicuous movement that makes the player feel uncomfortable. In such a case, the player may not be able to concentrate on the image displayed on the image display device 50 behind the unsupported section 615a, which may hinder the effect. However, in the present embodiment, the unsupported section 615a is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the second bridge portion 603 and the moving direction of the second left-right moving portion 610 so that the movement of the unsupported section 615a is not conspicuous. It has become. Therefore, the hobby of the game is improved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing portion 650 is operated by the driving force of the second left-right motor 610 m that moves the second left-right moving portion 610 in the left-right direction. That is, there is no drive source just for operating the slack suppressing unit 650. Therefore, the number of drive sources is reduced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the slack suppressing unit 650 is inexpensive and space-saving. That is, for example, the second left-right moving portion 610 does not become larger than necessary, a sufficient range of motion is secured, and it is possible to move in a wide range.

FIG. 18 shows the rotation mechanism unit 635 of the second front-rear shaft rotation unit 630. As shown in FIG. 18, the rotation mechanism unit 635 includes a motor gear 630 g, a first intermediate gear 636, a second intermediate gear 637, and a second front-rear shaft rotation member 638 provided on the motor shaft of the second front-rear shaft rotation motor 630 m. Have. The second front-rear shaft rotating member 638 is rotatably provided with respect to the second left-right moving holder 614.

Further, in front of the second front-rear shaft rotating member 638, a design portion 631 having a soccer ball design is provided on the front surface 631a. Further, the second front-rear shaft rotating member 638 has a cylindrical shape, and an internal gear 638 g is formed on the inner wall surface thereof. The motor gear 630 g, the first intermediate gear 636, the second intermediate gear 637, and the internal gear 638 g are provided in this order, and the adjacent gears mesh with each other.

Therefore, the second front-rear axis rotation unit 630 can perform a rotation effect around the rotation axis extending in the front-rear direction by the driving force of the second front-rear axis rotation motor 630m. Then, the design unit 631 is rotated by this rotation effect, and it is possible to make the soccer ball appear to be rotating.

FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining a left-right position detection unit 640 for detecting a position of the second vertical movement unit 600 in the left-right direction. Note that FIG. 19A shows a cross-sectional view at the XX position shown in FIG. 17, and FIG. 19B shows a cross-sectional view at the YY position shown in FIG. That is, FIG. 19A is a cross-sectional view on a path through which the first left / right position detection unit 640a passes due to the movement of the second left / right movement unit 610 in the left-right direction. Further, FIG. 19B is a cross-sectional view on a path through which the second left-right position detection unit 640b passes due to the movement of the second left-right movement unit 610 in the left-right direction. Further, FIG. 19 shows the case where the second left-right moving portion 610 is located at the right end.

As shown in FIG. 19A, the first left / right position detection unit 640a has a contact terminal 641, a spring 642, and a first detection sensor 643. The spring 642 can urge the contact terminal 641 toward the second bridge portion 603. As a result, the contact terminal 641 can bring its tip 641a into contact with the surface of the second bridge portion 603.

The first detection sensor 643 is a photomicro sensor provided on the side opposite to the tip 641a of the contact terminal 641, and is provided at a position where the optical axis is not blocked by the contact terminal 641 in the protruding state of the contact terminal 641. .. Then, the optical axis of the first detection sensor 643 is blocked by the retracted contact terminal 641 in the retracted state in which the contact terminal 641 is retracted from the protruding state. Therefore, the left-right position detection unit 640 can detect whether the contact terminal 641 is in the protruding state or the retracted state by the detection signal of the first detection sensor 643.

As shown in FIG. 19B, the configuration of the second left / right position detection unit 640b is the same as that of the first left / right position detection unit 640a. That is, the second left / right position detection unit 640b has a contact terminal 645, a spring 646, and a second detection sensor 647. Then, it is possible to detect whether the contact terminal 645 is in the protruding state or the retracted state by the detection signal of the second detection sensor 647. Further, in this embodiment, both the first detection sensor 643 and the second detection sensor 647 use a light-on type that is turned on when light enters. Therefore, the detection signals of the first detection sensor 643 and the second detection sensor 647 are turned on when the member to be detected is in the protruding state and turned off when the member to be detected is in the retracted state, respectively. In addition, unlike this embodiment, it is also possible to use a light-off type.

Further, as described above, grooves 606, 607, and 608 are formed in the second bridge portion 603. As shown in FIG. 19A, the grooves 606 and 607 of the second bridge portion 603 are provided on the passage path of the first left and right position detection portion 640a. Further, FIG. 19 shows the positions a to e in order from the right as the positions of the second bridge portion 603. Specifically, the groove 606 is formed in the section a from the position a to the position b. The groove 607 is formed in the section de from the position d to the position e.

On the other hand, no groove is formed in the section bc and the section cd from the position b to the position d on the passage path of the first left and right position detection unit 640a. Therefore, the detection signal of the first detection sensor 643 is turned on when the contact terminal 641 is in the section ab or the section de, and is turned off when the contact terminal 641 is in the section bc or the section cd.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, the groove 608 of the second bridge portion 603 is provided on the passage path of the second left / right position detection portion 640b. The groove 608 is formed in the section cd and the section de from the position c to the position e. On the other hand, no groove is formed in the section ab and the section bc from the position a to the position c on the passage path of the second left and right position detection unit 640b. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19C, the detection signal of the second detection sensor 647 is turned ON when the contact terminal 645 is in the section cd or section de, and is turned OFF when the contact terminal 645 is in the section ab or section bc. Become.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the section ab, the section bc, the section cd, and the section de, the first detection sensor 643 of the first left / right position detection unit 640a and the second left / right position detection unit 640b, respectively, 2 The combination of detection signals of the detection sensor 647 is different. That is, using the two first detection sensors 643 and the second detection sensor 647, it is possible to detect four positions of the section ab, the section bc, the section cd, and the section de as the positions of the second left / right moving unit 610. It has become. As a result, in the present embodiment, it is possible to accurately detect a position larger than the number of sensors as the position of the second left-right moving portion 610.

This is because the detection unit is attached to the second left / right moving portion 610 side, which is a movable portion. That is, unlike the present embodiment, when two sensors fixed relative to the movable movable portion are used, not so many positions of the movable portion can be detected. For example, in the past, as the position of the movable part, two sensors fixed relative to the movable part were used, and either of the two sensors detected the two positions where the movable part was detected. In contrast to such a conventional technique, the present embodiment has an inexpensive configuration in which the number of sensors is reduced, and a configuration in which a larger number of movable parts can be detected.

Further, in the present embodiment, since many can be detected as the positions of the second left / right moving portion 610, the position of the second left / right moving portion 610 can be grasped more accurately. Thereby, in this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately control the second left-right moving unit 610. For example, by being able to accurately detect the position of the second left-right moving portion 610, it is possible to detect the second left-right moving portion 610 when it is in an erroneous position. As a result, the second left-right moving portion 610 in the wrong position can be moved to an appropriate position. Then, it is possible to prevent the second left-right moving portion 610 from being present at an erroneous position, and to fully exert the effect of the second left-right moving portion 610.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the section ab, the section bc, the section cd, and the section de are not equal. That is, there are sections with different lengths. This is due to the priority of position detection. That is, in this embodiment, the section ab and the section de at both ends are shorter than the section bc and the section cd between them. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to more accurately detect the position of the second left-right moving portion 610 in the sections ab and de at both ends. Then, by increasing the detection accuracy at both ends of the second left-right moving portion 610 in the moving direction, the second left-right moving portion 610 can be accurately controlled up to the end of the movable range. Therefore, the movable range of the second left-right moving portion 610 is fully utilized, and a more powerful and highly entertaining production is possible.

FIG. 20 shows the movable range 56h of the second movable device 56. As shown in FIG. 20, the second movable device 56 can freely move the design portion 631 within the movable range 56h by the second vertical moving portion 600 and the second left / right moving portion 610. This is because the moving direction (vertical direction) of the second vertical moving portion 600 and the moving direction (left-right direction) of the second left-right moving portion 610 intersect.

Further, the movable range 56h of the second movable device 56 has a wide range because the sizes in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction are sufficiently secured. In particular, in this embodiment, the moving range of the second left-right moving portion 610 in the left-right direction is large. This is because, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing portion 650 is provided in the second left-right moving portion 610.

That is, for example, unlike the present embodiment, when the slack suppressing portion for the cable connected to the second left / right moving portion is provided in the second right upper / lower portion, the configuration of the second right upper / lower portion becomes large. .. On the other hand, the second left-right moving portion decorated on the front surface does not become so small even when the slack suppressing portion is not provided. This is because a certain size is required to exert the function as a movable part or a decorative part. For this reason, the second left-right moving portion cannot be so close to the large second right upper and lower portions. That is, in such a case, the moving range of the second left-right moving portion in the left-right direction may be narrowed.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the slack suppressing portion 650 is provided in the second left-right moving portion 610. Therefore, the second right upper and lower portion 602 is small. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, at least a part of the slack suppressing portion 650 overlaps behind the design portion 631 that decorates the second left-right moving portion 610. Specifically, the sagging suppressing portion 650 of the present embodiment has a larger portion overlapping behind the design portion 631. As a result, in the present embodiment, the slack suppressing portion 650 is provided in the second left / right moving portion 610 without making the second left / right moving portion 610 so large. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second left / right moving portion 610 can sufficiently approach the second right upper / lower portion 602. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the moving range of the second left-right moving portion 610 in the left-right direction is large, and the movable range 65h is wide.

Further, in the present embodiment, the movable range 56h overlaps with the display unit 50a of the image display device 50. Therefore, it is possible to perform a variety of effects by combining the design unit 631 of the second left-right moving unit 610 and the effect image to be displayed on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50. Further, in the present embodiment, the movable range 56h and the display unit 50a have a large overlap, and it is possible to perform a wider variety of effects. Further, in the present embodiment, the degree of expectation of the jackpot differs depending on the position of the design portion 631 in the movable range of 65h. Specifically, the farther the design unit 631 is from the standby position (lower right), the higher the expectation of a big hit can be performed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, since the movable range 65h is wide, it is possible to express the degree of expectation in a wider variety of ways, and it is possible to improve the interest.

By the way, as can be seen from FIG. 20, the second bridge portion 603 may be located in front of the display portion 50a of the image display device 50. Therefore, it is preferable that the second bridge portion 603 is as inconspicuous as possible. This is because the visibility of the effect image displayed on the display unit 50a may be reduced. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second bridge portion 603 is made of a transparent material (for example, a transparent resin material) capable of transmitting visible light.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the left / right position detecting unit 640, which is configured to detect the position of the second left / right moving unit 610, is provided in the second left / right moving unit 610, so that the second bridge unit is provided. Not required for 603. This makes it possible to make the second bridge portion 603 a simple configuration. Further, the second bridge portion 603 is configured to be visible to the player, and if a sensor such as a photomicro sensor is provided therein, the sensor will be conspicuous. However, in this embodiment in which the second bridge portion 603 does not have a sensor, it is possible to improve the aesthetic appearance and enhance the game entertainment.

Further, since the sagging suppressing portion 650 is not intended for decoration, it is preferable that the visibility thereof is low. On the other hand, as described above, at least a part of the slack suppressing portion 650 of the present embodiment overlaps behind the design portion 631 that decorates the second left-right moving portion 610. In other words, the design portion 631 has a size such that it overlaps the front of at least a part of the slack suppressing portion 650. As a result, it is suppressed that the slack suppressing portion 650 is conspicuous. Therefore, the deterioration of the aesthetic appearance due to the conspicuous sagging suppressing portion 650 is suppressed.

Also, of course, it is preferable that the visibility of the cable 615 is as low as possible. In the present embodiment, the cable 615 is a visible section in which the unsupported section 615a can be visually recognized by the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the non-supported section 615a, the cable 615 is provided so that the longitudinal direction in the cross section orthogonal to the wiring direction is aligned with the front-rear direction. As a result, the player is directed to the player in the lateral direction in the cross section orthogonal to the wiring direction of the cable 615. That is, the cable 615 has low visibility because the surface having the smallest area of the cable 615 is directed toward the player.

Further, the slack suppressing portion 650 can adjust the length of the unsupported section 615a of the cable 615 by rotating and moving the cable support roller 655, and can suppress the slack of the non-supporting section 615a. That is, the slack suppressing portion 650 of the present embodiment lengthens the portion wound around the outer periphery of the restraining rotating member 651 of the cable 615 when the non-supporting section 615a is shortened. As described above, since the slack suppressing portion 650 forms the detour route of the cable 615 by winding and unwinding the cable 615, the detour route of the cable 615 can be compactly formed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the portion wound around the outer periphery of the restraining rotating member 651 of the cable 615 overlaps behind the design portion 631 that decorates the second left-right moving portion 610. As a result, the cable 615 is compactly wound around the outer periphery of the restraining rotating member 651, and the wound portion thereof becomes inconspicuous. Further, when the second left-right moving portion 610 is located at the right end, the portion wound around the outer periphery of the restraining rotating member 651 of the cable 615 becomes longer. As a result, the deterioration of the aesthetic appearance due to the conspicuousness of the cable 615 is suppressed.

Further, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 is a decorative unit that is frequently visually recognized by the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described above, the configuration not intended for decoration, which may be located in front of the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, is made difficult to be visually recognized by the player. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the effect image displayed on the display unit 50a is not obstructed, and it is possible to enhance the game entertainment.

Further, the image display device 50 of the present embodiment displays an image on the display unit 50a that complements the decorative surface (first decorative surface 540a, second decorative surface 540b) of the first swinging portion 540 in the first movable device 55. Is something that can be done. As described above, the decoration applied to the first decorative surface 540a and the second decorative surface 540b of the present embodiment is only the bust-up portion of the character imitating a human being, and the effect of the first movable device 55 alone is sufficient. May not be fully exhibited. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by displaying an image that complements the decoration of the first movable device 55 on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50, the effect of the first movable device 55 is fully exhibited, and the game is played. It is possible to improve the interest.

FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of an effect using the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50. 21 (A) shows the first running state of the first movable device 55, and FIG. 21 (B) shows the second running state of the first movable device 55. In the first running state, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), the first vertical moving portion 500 is inclined downward to the right as a whole because the first left upper and lower portion 510 is located on the upper side. .. Further, in the first running state, the first swinging portion 540 is in a position biased toward the first right upper and lower portion 520 side. That is, the position is closer to the first right upper and lower portion 520 than to the first left upper and lower portion 510.

On the other hand, in the second running state shown in FIG. 21B, the first vertical moving portion 500 is inclined upward to the right as a whole because the first left upper and lower portion 510 is located on the upper side. Further, in the second running state, the first swinging portion 540 is in a position biased toward the first left upper and lower portions 510 side. That is, the position is closer to the first left upper and lower portion 510 than to the first right upper and lower portion 520.

Then, as shown in FIG. 21, in the example of this effect, the first movable device 55 alternately repeats the first running state and the second running state. As a result, the first swinging portion 540 (the bust-up portion of the character) of the first movable device 55 can be made to perform an operation as if it were running. Therefore, by alternately performing the first running state and the second running state, it seems that the complicated movement of the shoulder when the character runs is reproduced in the first swinging portion 540 which is the bust-up part of the character. It is possible to perform the operation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21 (A), in the first running state, the first left front-rear axis rotating portion 550 imitating the right arm is made to take an abduction position open to the outside, and the first right side imitating the left arm. The front-rear axis rotating portion 560 is allowed to take an adduction position closed inward. Further, in the second running state shown in FIG. 21B, the first left front-rear axis rotating portion 550 imitating the right arm is made to take an adduction position closed inward, and the first right front-rear axis rotation imitating the left arm. The portion 560 is allowed to take an abduction position that is open to the outside.

Then, by causing the operation of the first left front / rear shaft rotating portion 550 and the first right front / rear shaft rotating portion 560 in accordance with the operation of the first swinging portion 540, the first aspect of the present embodiment is performed. 1 The movable device 55 can produce an effect that more accurately reproduces a complicated running motion in a bust-up portion of a character.

However, the movement of only the bust-up part of the running character may not be sufficient for the interest. On the other hand, for example, the running motion of the lower body portion of the character is more complicated, and it is difficult to provide a movable device that naturally reproduces such motion. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 is made to display the portion lacking in the first movable device 55. That is, the image display device 50 in this effect displays on the display unit 50a a portion below the chest of the running character as a complementary image 51. As shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, the complementary image 51 is an image corresponding to the state of the first movable device 55, respectively. As a result, the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 can perform an effect using a design configured to be integrally visible. That is, by using the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 together, it is possible to produce a motion effect in which a character having a sufficiently high interest level runs.

The pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment includes a design portion 631 decorated with a soccer ball. Therefore, the design unit 631 may be moved or rotated according to the running motion of the character shown in FIG. 21. As a result, for example, it becomes possible to perform an effect in which the character is dribbling soccer, which can further enhance the interest.

FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of an effect using the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50, which are different from those in FIG. 21. In the effect shown in FIG. 22, the first movable device 55 takes an inverted state in which the second decorative surface 540b of the first swinging portion 540 faces forward. Further, as shown in FIG. 22, in this effect as well, the image display device 50 displays an image of a portion below the chest of the character on the display unit 50a.

However, in this effect, as shown in FIG. 22, the bust-up portion of the character appears upside down from FIG. 21 because the first swinging portion 540 is in the inverted state. Therefore, in this effect, the image display device 50 displays the image of the portion below the chest of the character upside down from FIG. 21 in accordance with the first rocking portion 540 in the inverted state. ing. Further, the image display device 50 in this effect displays a complementary image 51 in a state where the character is kicking a soccer ball with his / her foot. Therefore, the first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 according to the present effect can perform an effect in which the character performs an overhead kick as an effect constituting the design that can be seen integrally. In this production, the soccer ball image is displayed by the image display device 50, but instead of the soccer ball image, the design unit 631 with the soccer ball decoration provided in the second movable device 56 may be used. good.

Here, in general, decoration by a movable portion having an entity such as the first movable device 55 is more likely to attract the attention of the player than decoration by an effect image displayed on the display portion 50a of the image display device 50. , Tends to stand out. On the other hand, there is a limit to the decoration by moving parts, and there is a tendency that too complicated movements cannot be performed. Therefore, the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment has a higher gaming interest by configuring a design that can be seen integrally by the conspicuous first movable device 55 and the image display device 50 capable of displaying a complicated production image. It is possible to produce.

Further, the image display device 50 of the present embodiment can display an image corresponding to the design unit 631 of the second movable device 56 on the display unit 50a. For example, by displaying a front view of a soccer goal on the image display device 50 and moving or rotating the design unit 631 imitating a soccer ball within the movable range 56h, it is possible to produce a soccer shooting scene.

At that time, it is also possible to display the character of the keeper on the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 and cause the character to perform an operation of jumping toward the design unit 631. That is, in the present embodiment, it is possible to perform an effect of displaying the effect image according to the position of the design unit 631 on the image display device 50. In such a case, when the design unit 631 moves to a position far from the center inside the soccer goal (that is, near the outer edge of the movable range 56h), the expectation of a big hit can be increased.

Further, as described above, in the second movable device 56 of the present embodiment, the moving speed of the design portion 631 to the upper side is high due to the urging force of the torsion coil spring 696. Then, by moving the design unit 631 from the lower part to the center of the display unit 50a of the image display device 50 or to a position overlapping from the lower part to the upper part in a short time, for example, a powerful shooting scene can be produced. It is possible.

3. 3. Explanation of jackpots, etc. In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, there are "big hits" and "missing" as a result of the jackpot lottery (special symbol lottery). At the time of "big hit", the "big hit symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special figure display 81. In the case of "off", the "missing symbol" is stopped and displayed on the special figure display 81. When the jackpot is won, a "big hit game" is executed in which the jackpot 14 is opened in an opening pattern according to the type of special symbol (type of jackpot) that is stopped and displayed. The jackpot game is an example of a special game.

In this form, the jackpot game consists of multiple round games (unit open game), an opening before the first round game is started (also referred to as OP), and an ending after the final round game is completed. (Also referred to as ED) and is included. Each round game starts with the end of the OP or the end of the previous round game, and ends with the start of the next round game or the start of the ED. The closing time (interval time) of the large winning opening between round games is included in the open round game before the closing.

There are multiple types of jackpots. The types of jackpots are as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 25, in this embodiment, there are roughly two types of jackpots (V open jackpot and V non-open jackpot). The "V open jackpot" is a jackpot that operates the jackpot device 14D in an open pattern that allows the game ball to pass through a specific area during the jackpot game. The "V non-open jackpot" is a jackpot that operates the jackpot device 14D in an open pattern in which the game ball cannot pass through the specific area during the jackpot game.

More specifically, the total number of rounds of the "V open jackpot" is 16R. The big winning opening 14 is opened from 1R to 16R for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R. Then, in rounds other than 14R, the distribution member that distributes the game ball to the specific area or the non-specific area is set so that the game ball passes through the non-specific area. On the other hand, in 14R, the distribution member is in a state where the game ball passes through the specific region.

On the other hand, in the "V non-open jackpot", the total number of rounds is 16R, but the actual total number of rounds is 13R. That is, from 1R to 13R, the big winning opening 14 is opened for a maximum of 29.5 seconds per 1R, but from 14R to 16R, the big winning opening 14 is opened only for 0.1 seconds per 1R. Therefore, in this V non-open jackpot, from 14R to 16R, the opening time of the big winning opening is extremely short, and the round is such that the prize ball cannot be expected. That is, the V non-open jackpot is actually a jackpot of 13R.

Further, in the V non-open jackpot, in all rounds, the distribution member that distributes the game ball to the specific area or the non-specific area is set so that the game ball passes through the non-specific area. As for the V non-open jackpot, the distribution member may be operated in such a manner that the game ball can hardly pass through the specific area and the game ball can hardly pass through the specific area.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment, the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game is shifted to the high probability state described later based on the passage of the gaming ball to the specific area during the jackpot game. Therefore, when the above-mentioned V open jackpot is won, the gaming state after the jackpot game can be shifted to the high probability state by passing the game ball to a specific area during the execution of the jackpot game. On the other hand, when the V non-open jackpot is won, the game ball cannot be passed to a specific area during the execution of the jackpot game, so that the gaming state after the jackpot game is the normal probability state described later. (Non-high probability state).

As shown in FIG. 25, the distribution rate of the jackpot in the lottery of the first special symbol (special figure 1) is 50% for the V open jackpot and 50% for the V non-open jackpot. On the other hand, all the jackpots won in the lottery of the second special symbol (special figure 2) are V open jackpots. That is, when a big hit is won by a lottery based on a prize in the second starting port 12, which can be entered by executing the electric support control described later, the V open big hit is always obtained. In this way, in this pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game ball wins in the second start opening 12 rather than the big hit lottery (lottery of the first special symbol) in which the game ball wins in the first start opening 11. The jackpot lottery (lottery of the second special symbol) is set to be more advantageous for the player.

Here, in the pachinko gaming machine PY1, the lottery for whether or not the jackpot is a big hit is performed based on the "big hit random number", and the lottery for the winning jackpot type is performed based on the "winning type random number". As shown in FIG. 26 (A), the jackpot random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 65535. The hit type random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 9. The random numbers acquired based on the winning of the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 include "reach random numbers" and "variable pattern random numbers" in addition to the jackpot random numbers and the hit type random numbers.

The reach random number is a random number that determines whether or not to generate reach in the effect symbol variation effect indicating the result when the result of the jackpot determination is out of order. The fluctuation pattern random number is a random number for determining a fluctuation pattern including a fluctuation time. The fluctuation pattern random number takes a value in the range of 0 to 127. Further, the random numbers acquired based on the passage of the gate 13 include ordinary symbol random numbers (hit random numbers) shown in FIG. 26 (B). The ordinary symbol random number is a random number for a lottery (ordinary symbol lottery) as to whether or not to perform an auxiliary game for opening the electric chew 12D. Ordinary symbol random numbers take a value in the range of 0 to 255.

4. Description of the gaming state Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the present embodiment will be described. The special figure display 81 and the normal figure display 82 of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 have a probability fluctuation function and a fluctuation time shortening function, respectively. The state in which the probability fluctuation function of the special figure display 81 is operating is referred to as a "high probability state", and the state in which the probability fluctuation function is not operating is referred to as a "normal probability state (non-high probability state)". In the high probability state, the jackpot probability is higher than in the normal probability state. That is, the jackpot determination is performed using a jackpot determination table in which the value of the jackpot random number determined to be a jackpot is larger than the jackpot determination table used in the normal probability state (see FIG. 27 (A)). That is, when the probability fluctuation function of the special symbol display 81 is activated, the probability that the display result (that is, the stop symbol) of the variable display of the special symbol by the special symbol display 81 becomes a jackpot symbol as compared with the case where it is not activated. Will be higher.

Further, the state in which the fluctuation time shortening function of the special figure display 81 is operating is referred to as a "time saving state", and the state in which the special figure display 81 is not operating is referred to as a "non-time saving state". In the time-reduced state, the fluctuation time of the special symbol (time from the start of the fluctuation display to the derivation display of the display result) is shorter than in the non-time-reduced state. That is, the fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern table in which the fluctuation pattern having a short fluctuation time is selected more often than in the non-time reduction state (see FIG. 28). That is, when the variable time shortening function of the special symbol display 81 is activated, it becomes easier to select a short variable time as the variable time of the variable display of the special symbol as compared with the case where the special symbol display 81 is not activated. As a result, in the time-saving state, the pace of digestion of the special figure hold becomes faster, and an effective prize (a prize that can be memorized as the special figure hold) to the starting port is likely to occur. Therefore, it is possible to aim for a big hit with the smooth progress of the game.

The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the special figure display 81 may be operated at the same time, or only one of them may be operated. The probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82 are operated in synchronization with the fluctuation time shortening function of the special figure display 81. That is, the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82 operate in the time saving state and do not operate in the non-time saving state. Therefore, in the time-saving state, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery is higher than in the non-time-saving state. That is, the hit judgment (judgment of the normal symbol) is performed using the normal symbol hit judgment table in which the value of the normal symbol random number (hit random number) judged to be a hit is larger than the normal symbol hit judgment table used in the non-time saving state (judgment of the normal symbol). See FIG. 27 (C)). That is, when the probability fluctuation function of the normal figure display 82 is activated, the probability that the display result of the variable display of the normal symbol by the normal figure display 82 becomes a normal hit symbol is higher than when it is not activated. ..

Also, in the time-saving state, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is shorter than in the non-time-saving state. In this embodiment, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is 30 seconds in the non-time saving state, but 1 second in the time saving state (see FIG. 27 (D)). Further, in the time saving state, the opening time of the electric chew 12D in the auxiliary game is longer than in the non-time saving state (see FIG. 29). That is, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D is operating. In addition, in the time-saving state, the number of times the electric chew 12D is opened in the auxiliary game is larger than in the non-time-saving state (see FIG. 29). That is, the function of increasing the number of times of opening of the electric chew 12D is operating.

In the situation where the probability fluctuation function and the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82, and the opening time extending function and the opening number of times increasing function of the electric chew 12D are operating, those functions are not activated as compared with the case where these functions are not activated. As a result, the electric chew 12D is frequently opened, and the game ball frequently wins a prize at the second starting port 12. As a result, the base, which is the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of fired balls, becomes high. Therefore, the state in which these functions are operating is referred to as a "high base state", and the state in which these functions are not operating is referred to as a "low base state". In the high base state, you can aim for a big hit without significantly reducing the number of game balls you have. The high base state is a state in which so-called electric support control (control for supporting winning of the second starting port 12 by the electric chew 12D) is being executed.

The high base state (electric support control state) does not have to operate all the above functions. That is, the operation of one or more of the probability fluctuation function of the normal figure display 82, the fluctuation time shortening function of the normal figure display 82, the opening time extension function of the electric chew 12D, and the opening frequency increasing function of the electric chew 12D. It suffices if the electric chew 12D is easier to open than when the function is not operating. Further, the high base state (electric support control state) may be controlled independently without being accompanied by the time saving state.

In the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of this embodiment, the gaming state after the jackpot game by winning the V open jackpot is a high probability state, a time saving state, and a high base state if the passage to a specific area is made during the jackpot game. Is. This gaming state is particularly called "high accuracy and high base state". The high-accuracy high-base state ends when the variable display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (160 times in this embodiment), or when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

In addition, the gaming state after the jackpot game by winning the V non-open jackpot is a normal probability state (non-high probability state, that is, if the specific area is not passed during the jackpot game (it is not abbreviated)). It is a low-probability state), a short-time state, and a high-base state. This gaming state is particularly called "low accuracy and high base state". The low accuracy and high base state ends when the variable display of the special symbol is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment), or when the jackpot is won and the jackpot game is executed.

When playing the pachinko gaming machine PY1 for the first time, the gaming state after the power is turned on is a normal probability state, a non-time saving state, and a low base state (non-electric support control state). This gaming state is particularly referred to as a "low probability low base state". The low probability low base state may be referred to as a "normal gaming state". Further, the state in which the special game (big hit game) is being executed is referred to as a "special game state (big hit game state)". Further, a state controlled by at least one of a high probability state and a high base state is referred to as a "specific gaming state".

In a high base state such as a high accuracy high base state or a low accuracy high base state, it is more advantageous to allow the game ball to enter the right game area 6B by hitting right. This is because the electric support control makes it easier to open the electric chew 12D than in the low base state, and it is easier to win the second starting port 12 than to win the first starting port 11. .. Therefore, while passing the game ball through the gate 13 that triggers the normal symbol lottery, the game ball is hit right to win the second starting port 12. As a result, it is possible to obtain a large number of starting prizes (winning to the starting port) rather than hitting left. In this pachinko gaming machine PY1, the game is played by right-handed even during the jackpot game.

On the other hand, in the low base state, it is more advantageous to allow the game ball to enter the left game area 6A (see FIG. 19) by hitting the left side. Since the electric support control is not executed, it is difficult to open the electric chew 12D compared to the high base state, and it is easier to win the first starting port 11 than to win the second starting port 12. Because it has become. Therefore, a left-handed strike is performed so that the game ball can be won in the first starting port 11. This allows you to get more start-up prizes than right-handed.

5. Operation of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 Next, the operation of the main control unit (game control microcomputer 101, etc.) will be described with reference to FIG. 30, and the sub control unit (effect control microcomputer 121, etc.) will be described with reference to FIGS. 31 and 32. The operation of is explained. First, the operation of the main control unit will be described.

[Game control side timer interrupt processing] The game control microcomputer 101 of the main control unit repeats the game control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 30 every short time such as 4 msec. First, the game control microcomputer 101 determines a jackpot random number used for a jackpot lottery, a hit type random number for determining a jackpot type, a reach random number for determining whether or not to reach a reach state in a variation effect, and a variation pattern. Performs random number update processing to update variable pattern random numbers, ordinary symbol random numbers (winning random numbers) used for ordinary symbol lottery, etc. (S101). At least a part of each random number may be a hardware random number generated by using a known random number generation circuit including a counter IC or the like. Further, the random number generation circuit may be built in the game control microcomputer 101.

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 performs an input process (S102). In the input process (S102), various sensors (general winning opening sensor 10a, first starting opening sensor 11a, second starting opening sensor 12a, large winning opening sensor 14a, etc.) mainly attached to the pachinko gaming machine PY1 (FIG. 23). The detection signal detected by)) is read, and the prize ball command for paying out the prize ball according to the type of the winning opening is set in the output buffer of the gaming RAM 104. Further, in the input process (S102), if there is a command output from the payout control board 170, the command is received.

Subsequently, the game control microcomputer 101 executes a start port sensor detection process (S103), a special operation process (S104), and a normal operation process (S105). In the start port sensor detection process (S103), if there is a winning detection by the first start port sensor 11a, a random number such as a jackpot random number (see FIG. 26 (A)) is acquired on condition that the number of reserved memories is less than four. do. Further, if the winning detection is detected by the second starting port sensor 12a, a random number such as a jackpot random number (see FIG. 26A) is acquired on condition that the number of reserved memories is less than four. Further, if the passage is detected by the gate sensor 13a, a normal symbol random number (see FIG. 26B) is acquired on condition that the number of hit random numbers already stored is less than four.

In the special operation process (S104), a random number such as a jackpot random number acquired in the start port sensor detection process (S103) is determined, and a special symbol is displayed (variation display and stop display) for notifying the determination result. .. When displaying this special symbol, a variation start command including information on the variation pattern is set in the output buffer of the game RAM 104 at the start of the variation display of the special symbol, and the variation stop command is issued for the game at the start of the stop display of the special symbol. Set in the output buffer of RAM 104. The fluctuation pattern is determined using the fluctuation pattern determination table shown in FIG. 28 based on the determination of various random numbers such as jackpot random numbers. Then, as a result of the determination of the jackpot random number, if the jackpot is won, a jackpot game (special game) in which the jackpot 14 is opened according to a predetermined opening pattern (opening time and number of times of opening) is performed. Here, as shown in FIG. 28, once the fluctuation pattern is determined, the fluctuation time during which the fluctuation display of the special symbol is executed is also determined. The SP reach (super reach) shown in the remarks column of FIG. 28 is a reach in which the fluctuation time after the reach is longer than that of the normal reach. The distribution rate of the table is set so that the SP reach has a higher expectation of winning (expectation for big hit winning) than the normal reach. In this embodiment, super reach is carried out progressively through normal reach.

In the normal operation process (S105), the normal symbol random numbers acquired in the start port sensor detection process are determined using a predetermined determination table. Then, a normal symbol (variation display and stop display) for notifying the determination result is displayed. As a result of the judgment of the normal symbol random number, if the normal winning symbol is won, the auxiliary game of opening the electric chew 12D according to a predetermined opening pattern (opening time and number of opening times, see FIG. 29) according to the game state is performed. conduct.

Next, the game control microcomputer 101 performs an output process (S106). In the output process (S106), the commands and the like set in each of the above processes are output to the payout control board 170, the effect control board 120, and the like.

Further, in parallel with the above processing in the main control unit, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs the processing shown in FIGS. 31 and 32. The operation of the effect control microcomputer 121 will be described below.

[Effect control side timer interrupt process] The effect control side timer interrupt process repeats the effect control side timer interrupt process as shown in FIG. 31 at predetermined short time intervals. In the effect control side timer interrupt processing, first, the received command analysis processing (S1001) is performed.

In addition, the command transmission process (S1002) is performed following the receive command analysis process (S1001). In the command transmission process (S1002), various commands set in the received command analysis process are transmitted to the image control board 140. When the command transmission process is executed, the image control board 140 that has received the command executes various effects (variation effect, jackpot effect, customer waiting effect, etc.) using the image display device 50. For example, the image control board 140 that has received the variation effect start command executes the variation effect of the content specified in the variation effect start command.

Subsequently, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs voice processing (S1003). In the voice processing (S1003), sound data (data for controlling the output of the voice etc. from the speaker 52) is created so that the voice etc. is output from the speaker 52 at the timing matching the production of the production pattern selected in the reception command analysis processing. Or output to the voice control board 161. Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 performs lamp processing (S1004) and movable body processing (S1005).

In the lamp processing (S1004), if the variable effect start command or the like set in the effect RAM 124 has a light emission effect that causes the panel lamp 54 or the frame lamp 53 to emit light, the light emission effect is executed. That is, the panel lamp 54 and the frame lamp 53 are made to emit light at a predetermined timing and in a predetermined light emitting mode. Further, in the movable body processing (S1005), if the variable effect start command or the like set in the effect RAM 124 has a drive effect for operating the first movable device 55 or the second movable device 56, the drive effect is executed. do. That is, each motor of the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56 is operated at a predetermined timing and in a predetermined drive mode.

[Received command analysis process] As shown in FIG. 32, in the received command analysis process (S1001), the effect control microcomputer 121 first determines whether or not a fluctuation start command is received from the game control microcomputer 101 (S1101). ). If it has not been received, the process proceeds to step S1104, but if it has been received, the variation effect pattern selection process (S1102) is performed.

In the variation effect pattern selection process (S1102), a random number for determining the variation effect pattern is acquired, one table is selected based on the analysis result of the variation start command, etc., and the acquired variation effect is used using the selected table. A variation effect pattern is selected by determining a random number for pattern determination. The data indicating the selected variation effect pattern is stored in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124. By selecting this variable effect pattern, whether or not to execute the effect of causing the panel lamp 54 to emit light and its timing, whether or not to execute the effect of causing the frame lamp 53 to emit light and its timing, and the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56 The content of the effect is determined, including details such as whether or not to execute the effect to operate each motor and the timing thereof.

Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a variation effect start command for starting the variation effect with the variation effect pattern selected in step S1102 in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124 (S1103). Then, the process proceeds to step S1104.

In step S1104, the effect control microcomputer 121 determines whether or not the opening command has been received from the game control microcomputer 101. If it has not been received, the process proceeds to step S1107, but if it has been received, the jackpot effect pattern selection process (S1105) is performed.

In the jackpot effect pattern selection process (S1105), the jackpot effect effect pattern (big hit effect pattern) to be executed during the jackpot game is selected based on the analysis result of the opening command. The data indicating the jackpot effect pattern selected here is stored in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124. By selecting this jackpot effect pattern, the presence / absence and timing of the light emission effect of the board lamp 54 and the frame lamp 53 during the jackpot game, the effect of operating each motor of the first movable device 55 and the second movable device 56, etc. The content of the production is decided, including details such as whether or not it is executed and its timing.

Next, the effect control microcomputer 121 sets a jackpot effect start command for starting the jackpot effect with the jackpot effect pattern selected in step S1105 in a predetermined storage area of the effect RAM 124 (S1106). Then, the process proceeds to step S1107.

In step S1107, processing based on another received command is performed as another processing (S1107). As a result, the received command analysis process is completed.

6. Modification example The modification example will be described below. In the description of the modified example, the same components as those of the pachinko gaming machine PY1 of the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

For example, in the above embodiment, only the big winning opening 14 is provided as the big winning area that can be opened by the big hit game, but a plurality of big winning areas may be provided.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example of detecting four positions as the positions of the movable portion by combining the detection signals of the two sensors provided on the movable portion has been described. However, depending on the number of sensors provided in the movable portion and the number of types of detection signals of each sensor, it is possible to detect more as the position of the movable portion. For example, when three sensors capable of outputting two types of detection signals are provided in a movable part, it is possible to detect eight positions as the positions of the movable part by combining the detection signals of the three sensors. Become. That is, as the position of the movable portion, it is possible to detect the number of positions obtained by multiplying the number of detection modes (signals) of the sensors by the number of sensors provided in the movable portion. Further, the number of movable portions provided with such a sensor is not limited to one, and may be a plurality.

Further, in the above embodiment, the detection signal of the sensor is turned ON / OFF by providing a groove in the detected portion to be detected by the two sensors provided in the movable portion. However, the present invention is not limited to the groove, and a protrusion or a hole may be provided. Further, for example, the mechanism for suppressing the slack of the cable may be provided not on the movable portion side but on the configuration on the side relatively fixed to the movable portion.

Further, in the above embodiment, as the movable portion, a character which is a fictitious person or a soccer ball pattern is used. However, the decoration of the movable portion is, of course, not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the movable portion decorated with the character may be decorated with a real person, a robot, or an animal instead of the character decoration. Further, in the above embodiment, the movable portion decorated with the character is decorated with the same character on the front and back, but different characters may be decorated on the front and back.

Further, in the above embodiment, the time saving state is always set at the end of the jackpot game, but it may be determined whether or not the time saving state is set according to the type of the jackpot symbol. In this case, the special figure 2 lottery may be able to win the jackpot symbol in which the time saving state is set with the end of the jackpot game with a higher probability.

Further, in the above embodiment or the like, by winning a big hit in the big hit determination, a big hit game accompanied by opening and closing of the big winning opening 14 is executed, but a so-called "small hit game" as a game involving opening and closing of the big winning opening 14. May be provided. The small hit game is executed by winning a "small hit" different from the big hit and the loss in the big hit determination. The maximum opening time of the large winning opening 14 in the small hit game is preferably 1.8 seconds or less. In addition, the game state does not change with the end of the small hit game. That is, during and after the execution of the small hit game, the game state before the execution continues, and the execution of the small hit game does not affect the game state. That is, if a small hit is won, only a small hit game involving opening and closing of the large winning opening 14 is executed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the high probability number of times is set to 160 times, and the time reduction number of times is set to 160 times and 100 times. The specified number of variable displays is not limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, the high probability number of times may be set to 100 times, and the time reduction number of times may be set to 100 times regardless of the presence or absence of V passage. Further, the number of time reductions may be set to 0. In addition, based on other factors that are not the number of executions of the fluctuation display of the special symbol such as the elapsed time after the jackpot game and the number of shots of the game ball, the duration for the game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game state is set. You may.

Further, in the above embodiment, the game control board 100 performs basic control related to the progress of the game, and the effect control board 120 performs basic control related to the progress of the effect according to the progress of the game (control of the game). Although the game control and the effect control are performed on different boards, the game may be configured to be performed on one board. In this case, the image control board 140 may be included in the one board, or may be provided separately from the one board.

Further, the gaming machine of the present invention can be applied to other ball gaming machines such as an arrange ball machine and a sparrow ball gaming machine, a rotating body type gaming machine (so-called "slot machine"), and the like.
