A frame-shaped seal member 48 arranged at the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a of the curtain plate rear member 43 is provided.

The pair of guide members 45 are such that the lower end of the door frame 3 comes into contact with the outer frame 2 when the main body frame 4 is closed. The guide member 45 is made of a low-friction material having low frictional resistance, and makes the lower end of the main body frame 4 slippery to facilitate opening and closing.

The grill member 46 is formed of a punching metal having innumerable small holes. The port member 47 communicates the curtain plate internal space 40a (enclosure 624) with the front of the outer frame 2 via the grill member 46 by two cylinders. The port member 47 has two cylinders formed with a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined length, and resonates and amplifies the bass emitted from the main body frame speaker 622 to the rear (inside the enclosure 624) by the principle of Helmholtz resonance. Therefore, rich bass can be radiated to the front (player side) of the outer frame 2. That is, in the present embodiment, the enclosure 624 of the main body frame speaker 622 is a bass reflex type, and the player can hear the deep bass.

The seal member 48 is sandwiched and compressed between the upper end of the connection cylinder portion 43a and the lower end of the connection portion 621c of the speaker cover 621 in the main body frame 4 when the main body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2.

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

The ball feeding crank 147 engages with the engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction so as to be able to engage with the vertically moving tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146, and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a. A shaft portion 147b that is arranged on the opposite side to the side and is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and extends upward from the shaft portion 147b. The ball feeding member 144 includes a transmission portion 147c that engages with a rod-shaped rod-shaped rod portion 144c (see FIG. 36 (b)) that protrudes downward from a position eccentric with respect to the center of rotation.

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

When the ball feeding solenoid 145 is not driven (normal time), the ball feeding unit 140 is in a state where the ball feeding operating rod 146 is separated from the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip is positioned downward. Then, the ball feeding member 144 is in a state of being positioned at the supply position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feeding operating rod 146 is sucked by the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 and the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feeding member 144 is in the holding position. Rotate to. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 144 receives one game ball B in the standby position, and the driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released (OFF). The state) and the game ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 in the ball feed unit 140 is controlled by the launch control unit 633b (see FIG. 153) of the payout control board 633 in synchronization with the drive control of the launch solenoid 542.

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

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

Since the upper plate ball pulling slider 242 on which the working transmission portion 242b with which the working rod 143c of the ball pulling member 143 abuts is formed is urged upward by the spring 243, the game ball B is placed on the partition portion 143a. Even if the plate is vigorously supplied, the impact can be absorbed by the spring 243 via the operating rod 143c, the ball pulling member 143 and the like can be prevented from being damaged, and the game ball B is a partition portion. It is possible to prevent it from bouncing off at 143a.

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 142b (see FIG. 36 (b) and the like) recessed forward in the upper right corner of the ball feeding port 142a in the rear cover 142 when viewed from the rear. The operation line invalidating member 700, which is the first fraud prevention means, is mounted in the mounting recess 142b so as to be accommodated. The operation line invalidation member 700 of the ball feeding unit 140 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the inside of the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side. There is. Here, disabling the operation line means that the operation line cannot be normally operated by cutting or pinching (pinching and stopping), entwining (winding), or adhering with hot melt or the like. It means to put it in a state.

The operation line invalidation member 700 is formed in a rectangular shape with the outer shape of the front view extending to the left and right, and is separated vertically at a substantially center in the vertical direction within a predetermined distance from the right side to the left. Inclined portions 703 formed in a C chamfer shape on the tip end side (right end side when viewed from the front) of the portions 701 and the second piece portion 702 and the sides of the first piece portion 701 and the second piece portion 702 facing each other. And have. The first piece 701 of the operation line invalidation member 700 is bent so that the right end of the front view projects rearward with respect to the flat plate surface of the operation line invalidation member 700 in FIG. 36 (a). On the other hand, the second piece portion 702 extends on the same plane as the flat plate surface of the operation line invalidation member 700. As a result, in a plan view, the first piece portion 701 and the second piece portion 702 form a shearing portion 700v that spreads in a V shape toward the right.

When the operation line invalidation member 700 is attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142, a V-shaped shearing portion 700v formed by the first piece portion 701 and the second piece portion 702 is formed in the ball striking supply port 142a. It will be in a state of communication with.

According to the operation line invalidation member 700, an illegal ball (a game ball or a metal ball having almost the same diameter as the game ball) to which a flexible string-shaped operation line (a linear member such as a thread, a piano wire, a wire or a catheter) is attached. Or a synthetic resin ball having almost the same diameter as that) is driven into the game area 5a from the upper plate 201 via the ball feeding unit 140 by the ball launching device 540, and is exposed to the upper plate 201 side attached to the illegal ball. When the operation line is operated to form an illegal ball flow path using an illegal ball, or when an illegal act such as causing an illegal ball to be taken in and out of the first starting port 2002 or the like is performed, a game is performed by the ball launcher 540. The operation line attached to the illegal ball is inserted between the first piece part 701 and the second piece part 702 by the momentum of the illegal ball launched (struck) with a strength that can reach the region 5a. Then, the narrowed portion of the sheared portion 700v formed by the first piece portion 701 and the second piece portion 702 can be cut like scissors, thereby invalidating the operation line and using an illegal ball. It is possible to deter the fraudulent activity that was being carried out.

The first fraud prevention means provided in the ball feeding unit 140 is not limited to the above-mentioned form, but may be another form. For example, if the operation line attached to the fraudulent ball is cut or narrowed to prevent fraudulent activity, the metal plate may be bent into a form different from the above, or the bent operation line nullifying member 700 may be used. It may be provided, or a resin molded member having a shape capable of cutting or narrowing the operation line attached to the illegal ball may be provided in place of the metal plate.

When the illegal ball is made of a synthetic resin such as acrylic, the metal game ball at the above-mentioned standby position (on the above-mentioned partition portion 143a) of the ball feeding unit 140 is a non-contact type (for example, a proximity switch). ) Is detected, and the detection signal is added to the driving conditions of the ball feeding solenoid 145, which is an electric feeding means, to prevent the firing of an illegal ball itself. This is because the non-contact type sensor does not detect an illegal ball made of synthetic resin, and the ball feeding solenoid 145 does not drive the ball feeding.

[3-1-11. Foul cover unit]
The foul cover unit 150 of the door frame base unit 100 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38. FIG. 37 (a) is a perspective view of the foul cover unit of the door frame base unit as viewed from the front, and FIG. 37 (b) is a perspective view of the foul cover unit as viewed from the rear. Further, FIG. 38 (a) is an exploded perspective view of the foul cover unit viewed from the front with the lid member removed, and FIG. 38 (b) is an exploded perspective view of the foul cover unit viewed from the rear with the lid member removed.

The foul cover unit 150 is attached to the right side of the rear view of the lower part of the rear side of the door frame base 101. The foul cover unit 150 is launched by the ball launcher 540 with a force weaker than a predetermined force (launch force that can reach the game area 5a) (launch force that cannot reach the game area 5a), and the game area 5a of the game board 5 is launched. The purpose is to guide the game ball B (foul ball) that has not reached the inside to the lower plate 202, and to guide the game ball B discharged from the payout device 580 to the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202. ..

As shown in the figure, the foul cover unit 150 includes a shallow box-shaped unit main body 151 attached to the rear side of the door frame base 101 and the front side open, and a flat plate-shaped lid member attached to the front surface of the unit main body 151. It is equipped with 152.

The foul cover unit 150 penetrates back and forth in the upper left corner of the front view, and the lower normal payout passage 610a of the lower full tank path unit 610 of the main body frame 4 and the upper dish ball supply port 211a which is an opening for the ball of the dish unit 200. It is possible to communicate with the penetrating ball passage 150a that communicates with the penetrating ball passage 150a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b of the lower full ball path unit 610 of the main body frame 4 that opens toward the rear on the lower right side of the front view of the penetrating ball passage 150a. It is equipped with a full tank ball receiving port 150b.

Further, the foul cover unit 150 opens upward on the right side of the front view of the full tank ball receiving port 150b, and although it is launched from the launch rail 544 by the ball launching device 540 of the main body frame 4, the momentum is insufficient. A foul ball receiving portion 150c that receives a foul ball B (foul ball) that has fallen into a foul ball falling port 1013 formed between the launch rail 544 and the outer rail 1001 without reaching the game area 5a, and a front view right. The game ball B, which is open toward the front near the lower corner and is received by the full tank ball receiving port 150b and the foul ball receiving portion 150c, is discharged forward and the lower dish ball supply port 211c which is an opening for the ball of the dish unit 200. It is provided with a ball discharge port 150d communicating with the ball discharge port 150d, and a communication passage 150h connecting the ball discharge port 150d (strictly speaking, the storage passage 150e described later) and the foul ball receiving portion 150c. The connecting passage 150h has an upper passage wall 150i arranged below the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c with a slope opposite to that of the bottom wall 150g, and approximately one game ball from the upper passage wall 150i. It consists of a lower passage wall 150j arranged in parallel at intervals of, the starting end opens upward to the downwardly inclined end portion of the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c, and the ending portion opens with respect to the storage passage 150e. Open downwards.

A series of passages from the foul ball drop port 1013 established between the launch rail 544 and the outer rail 1001 to the ball discharge port 150d through the foul ball receiving portion 150c, the connecting passage 150h and the storage passage 150e are returned. It is a passage, and the return passage portion 1014 is formed by these series of elements.

Further, the foul cover unit 150 is formed by the unit body 151 and the lid member 152 between the full tank ball receiving port 150b, the foul ball receiving portion 150c, and the ball discharging port 150d, and stores a predetermined amount of the game ball B. It is provided with a storage passage 150e having a possible size.

The penetrating ball passage 150a is formed so as to straddle both the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152. The full tank ball receiving port 150b and the foul ball receiving portion 150c are formed in the unit main body 151. The ball discharge port 150d is formed on the lid member 152. The storage passage 150e is formed by the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152.

Further, the foul cover unit 150 constitutes a part of the inner wall of the storage passage 150e, and has a flat plate-shaped movable piece 153 and a movable piece 153 whose lower ends are rotatably attached to the unit main body 151 and the lid member 152. It is provided with a full tank detection sensor 154 that detects rotation in a direction away from the storage passage 150e, and a spring 155 that urges the movable piece 153 toward the storage passage 150e.

In this foul cover unit 150, when the lower plate 202 of the plate unit 200 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B is not discharged from the ball discharge port 150d to the lower plate 202 side, the storage passage 150e is filled to some extent. The number of game balls B can be stored. Then, when a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the upper end of the movable piece 153 moves in a direction away from the storage passage 150e against the urging force of the spring 155 due to the weight of the game balls B. The movable piece 153 rotates so as to do so, and the rotation is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154. As a result, it can be determined that the lower plate 202 is full with the game ball B. Therefore, when the full tank detection sensor 154 detects that the lower plate 202 is full, the payout of the game ball B is stopped. At the same time, it is possible to notify the player, the person in charge of the game hall, or the like to that effect, and urge the player to eliminate the full tank of the lower plate 202.

Further, the foul cover unit 150 is attached to the lower side of the penetrating ball passage 150a on the rear side of the unit main body 151, and the payout passage opening / closing door of the lower full tank path unit 610 in the payout unit 560 described later in the main body frame 4. The actuating protrusion 613a of the 613 is provided with a door opening / closing contact portion 150f that can be contacted (see FIG. 109). The door opening / closing contact portion 150f is inclined so as to move forward as the rear surface moves downward. When the actuating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening / closing door 613 comes into contact with the door opening / closing contact portion 150f, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is rotated to rotate the downstream end of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b. The front opening) can be opened.

Further, the foul cover unit 150 is provided with an operation line invalidating member 7000 as a second fraud prevention means for suppressing fraud by the fraudulent ball Q to which the operation line L is attached, and also has a launch rail 544 and an outer rail 1001. The foul ball drop port 1013 opened between the two is provided with operation line invalidating members 7000H and 7000S, which are third fraud prevention means.

The second operation line invalidating member 7000 provided in the foul cover unit 150 is an internal space between the upper passage wall 150i of the connecting passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c, which is enlarged in FIG. 40. As shown in the figure, the convex portions 7001 on both sides are fitted and supported in the mounting holes 151h of the unit main body 151 and the mounting holes 152h of the lid member 152, and are attached (adhered) to the upper surface of the upper passage wall 150i. Further, for safety reasons, the unit body 151 and the lid member 152 cover and accommodate the unit body 151 and the lid member 152 so that the hands of employees, game machine assembly workers, and the like are difficult to contact.

The specific operation line invalidation member 7000 includes the same components as the operation line invalidation member 700 provided in the ball feeding unit 140, and corresponds to the bent first piece portion 701 in FIG. 36. A V-shape that opens in the direction facing the flow direction of the ball in the connecting passage 150h by the one piece 7010 and the second piece 7020 extending from the convex portion 7001 corresponding to the straight second piece 702. The sheared portion 7000v is formed.

In the foul cover unit 150 of the embodiment, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 40, the center of the V-shaped shearing portion 7000v of the operation line invalidation member 7000 is the lid member 152 constituting the foul cover unit 150. It is arranged so as to be substantially flush with the inner surface, and at the folded portion between the bottom wall 150 g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c and the upper passage wall 150i of the connecting passage 150h, toward the sheared portion 7000v of the operation line invalidating member 7000. A tapered guide portion 150k capable of guiding the operation line L is provided. Specifically, the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c has a surface width required for the game ball to flow down on the upper surface thereof, and is directed toward the lid member 152 side at the folded portion with the upper passage wall 150i. The width is narrowed toward the sheared portion 7000v of the operation line invalidating member 7000 along the lid member 152 so as to be continuous with the first inclined portion 150ka descending to the operation line invalidating member 7000 side and the first inclined portion 150ka. It has a second inclined portion 150 kb having a squeezed tip shape (a shape capable of capturing the operation line L) and a tapered guide portion 150 kb. Then, when the operation line L tensioned by the rolling of the illegal ball Q or the tension from the outside slides into the guide portion 150k in a winding shape, the tension applied to the operation line L causes the first inclined portion 150ka to the second. The operation line L is guided to the operation line invalidation member 7000 by sliding the inclined portion 150 kb of the above. As a result, the operation line L can be reliably captured by the operation line invalidation member 7000. In this way, it is responsible for the smooth flow of the normal foul ball and the guidance of the operation line L attached to the illegal ball Q. In addition, in order to make it easier to capture the operation line L, the corner portions of the first inclined portion 150 ka and the second inclined portion 150 kb of the guide portion 150 k may be formed in a curved shape.

Since the second operation line nullification member 7000 provided in the foul cover unit 150 is configured as described above, the operation line L is provided by using the space communicating from the lower plate ball supply port 211c to the game area 5a. In addition to invading the attached illegal ball Q into the game area 5a, the operation line L protruding from the lower plate ball supply port 211c side is operated to form an illegal ball flow path using the illegal ball Q, or an illegal ball flow path is formed. It is possible to deter fraudulent acts such as moving the ball Q in and out of the first starting port or the like.

For example, a fraudulent act such as pushing the fraudulent ball Q into the return passage portion 1014 from the lower plate ball supply port 211c using a special tool such as a cell plate, causing it to flow backward and sending it to the launch position of the ball launcher 540 (hereinafter, “illegal act”). When "A") is performed, when the illegal ball Q goes over the folded portion between the upper passage wall 150i of the connecting passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c and heads for the launch position of the launch rail 544, Pulled by it (tension is applied), the operation line L wraps around the folded portion in a U-turn shape. Then, the operation line L is guided to the operation line invalidation member 7000 along the taper of the guide portion 150k, enters the V-shaped shearing portion 7000v by the first piece portion 7010 and the second piece portion 7020, and finally. Since the operation line L cannot be operated as a result of being disconnected, it is possible to suppress fraudulent acts using the fraudulent ball Q.

Further, a plurality of illegal balls Q are connected to the operation line L, one of them is sent from the hit ball supply port 142a to the launch position, and the foul ball is intentionally made into a foul ball, which is a lower plate ball supply port 211c which is an opening for a ball. Even when a fraudulent act (hereinafter referred to as "cheating act B") is performed in which the operation line L connected to the fraudulent ball that has become a foul ball is grabbed and the subsequent fraudulent ball Q is launched into the game area 5a. The operation line L existing at the folded portion between the upper passage wall 150i of the connecting passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c is pulled (tension is applied) by the subsequent firing of the illegal ball Q. L is pressed against the folded portion, and the operation line L enters the sheared portion 7000v and is cut in the same manner as described above, and as a result, the operation line L cannot be operated. It will be possible. Note that FIGS. 39 and 40 are explanatory diagrams assuming a case where fraudulent activity B is performed. Further, for the above-mentioned fraudulent act B, there is a possibility that the operation line invalidating member 700 or the like, which is the first fraud prevention means, cannot sufficiently exert an effect on the fraudulent ball Q which is a foul ball (for example, it becomes a foul ball). There is a possibility that the operation line L will not be invalidated by the first fraud prevention means even if the fraud ball Q is fired with a certain degree of strength), so this embodiment reinforces the fraud countermeasures by the first fraud prevention means. It also has the effect of Therefore, when targeting fraudulent activity B, the operation line invalidating member 700, 7000 as the first and second fraud prevention means, and further, the operation line invalidating member 7000H as the third fraud prevention means described later. , 7000S is preferably used in combination as appropriate, and one unit of the first operation line invalidation member 700 and another second operation line invalidation member 7000 or the third operation line invalidation member 7000H, 7000S. It is recommended to install it together with the pachinko machine 1. In this case, the first operation line invalidation member 700 and the second operation line invalidation member 7000 are provided together on the door frame 3 side and in a state where they are not exposed to the outside, so that they are inconspicuous. Even if the door frame 3 is opened due to the trouble of, it is difficult for fraud countermeasure information to be leaked. Further, since the operation line invalidation members 700 and 7000 have a decrease in sharpness and the like affect the crime prevention performance, it is easy to maintain the crime prevention performance if they are replaced together with the door frame 3.

By the way, the operation line invalidating members 700 and 7000, which are the first and second fraud prevention means described above, cut the operation line L by the shearing portions 700v and 7000v to invalidate the operation line L, but sandwich the operation line L. That is, the operation line L is sandwiched between, for example, two metal plates 7011 and 7022, and the flexible operation line L cannot be easily pushed or pulled or the illegal ball Q connected to the operation line L cannot be easily operated. It may be invalidated as follows.

Specifically, for example, as shown in FIGS. 41 and 42, the operation line invalidation member 7000 is formed of two metal plates 7011 and 7022 joined by the shaded portion in the enlarged view of FIG. 41, and the metal plates 7011 and 7022 are formed. The first half of the non-joined portion of the tip is expanded in a V shape to form an introduction guide portion 7033, and the latter half of the non-joined portion is used as a pinching portion 7044. Such an operation line invalidation member 7000 is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the lid member 152, and further, for safety reasons, the unit main body 151 is made so as to be difficult to contact with the hands of employees, game machine assemblers, or the like. And it is covered and accommodated from the outside by the lid member 152.

According to the operation line invalidation member 7000, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 42, the operation line L is pulled by the illegal ball Q and the upper passage wall 150i of the connecting passage 150h and the bottom wall 150g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c. When wrapping around the folded portion in a U-turn shape, the metal plate 7011 and the metal plate 7022 are guided by the operation line invalidating member 7000 along the taper of the guide portion 150k of the folded portion, and the holding portion of the latter half of the non-joint portion of the metal plate 7011 and the metal plate 7022. It is pinched and pinched by 7044 like tweezers.

As a result, the fraudulent ball Q that has flowed back from the lower plate ball supply port 211c due to the above-mentioned fraudulent act A reaches the launch position of the launch rail 544, or the fraudulent ball Q that is intentionally made into a foul ball by the fraudulent act B. It becomes possible to suppress the arrival of the lower plate ball supply port 211c, which is the opening for the ball, and even if it reaches there, the operation line L is sandwiched between the operation line invalidation member 7000. Therefore, no matter how much the flexible operation line L is pushed in from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, it only loosens there, and as a result, the extension amount of the operation line L cannot be adjusted (the illegal ball Q hanging in the game area 5a). Since the height cannot be adjusted), it is possible to deter fraudulent acts using the fraudulent ball Q.

In the above-described embodiment, the first half of the non-joining portion at the tips of the two metal plates 7011 and 7022 is expanded in a V shape to form an introduction guide portion 7033, and the latter half of the non-joining portion is used as a pinching portion 7044. However, instead of this, one metal plate is bent so as to overlap the plate surfaces, and the tip portion of one of the bent plate surfaces is expanded in a V shape to expand the introduction guide portion 7033 (guidance portion). ), And the sandwiching width portion of both plate surfaces may be a sandwiching portion 7044. As a result, it is possible to improve the assembly work efficiency by reducing the number of parts of the metal plate while achieving the same effect as the above-mentioned fraud deterrent effect.

Further, although not shown, the operation line invalidation member 7000 that sandwiches the operation line L is provided with a double-sided tape in the gap of the second inclined portion 150 kb in FIG. 42, or is filled with an adhesive having a non-curable property. The adhesive portion may be formed, and the operation line L guided to the second inclined portion 150 kb may be adhered to the adhesive portion to be immobile.

Further, in the operation line invalidation member 7000 for sandwiching the operation line L, the above-mentioned one composed of two metal plates 7011 and 7022 is changed to a coil spring as shown in FIG. 43, and this coil spring is replaced with a coil spring. It may be installed and formed so that the guiding direction of the second inclined portion 150kb of the guiding portion 150k and its own central axis are substantially orthogonal to each other. The operation line L guided by the second inclined portion 150 kb is fitted between the adjacent coils of the coil spring and is sandwiched.

In addition, coil springs that have a structure in which adjacent coils are in contact with each other when no load is applied, such as tension coil springs and torsion coil springs, need to be installed in a compressed state, such as compression coil springs. Compared to this, it is advantageous in terms of installation work.

Further, the coil spring may be installed in a straight state when no load is applied, but as shown in FIG. 43, the coil spring is installed by being curved in a direction in which the coils on the approach side of the operation line L are slightly expanded. This is preferable because the entry of the operation line L becomes smooth. As described above, when the operation line invalidation member 7000 is formed by the coil spring, it can be manufactured at low cost and therefore low in cost.

Further, a foreign substance such as a cell plate is inserted into the above-mentioned operation line invalidation member 7000 through the opening for a ball (lower plate ball supply port 211c), and the cell plate closes the guide portion 150k to the operation line invalidation member 7000. Further fraudulent work is conceivable, but in the above-described embodiment, the course change portion of the return passage portion 1014 of the foul ball (in this embodiment, the portion corresponding to directly above the lower plate ball supply port 211c). A slit 1015 is formed in the cell plate (foreign matter) into which the cell plate (foreign matter) enters (see FIG. 39). As a result, it is possible to prevent further illicit work in which a foreign object is inserted through the ball opening (lower plate ball supply port 211c) to close the guide portion 150k. As a countermeasure against illegal work in which a foreign substance such as a cell plate is inserted from the ball opening (lower plate ball supply port 211c) to close the guide portion 150k, a foreign substance such as a cell plate is inserted as in the slit 1015 described above. Not limited to the one that forms the intake port, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 39, the configuration is provided with a protruding obstacle portion 1016 that collides with a foreign substance such as a cell plate and hinders the arrival of the guide portion 150k. As a result, a higher degree of fraud prevention may be achieved.

Further, the first and second operation line invalidation members 700 and 7000 described so far have a static structure that waits for the entry of the operation line L and invalidates the members, but FIGS. 49, 50, and 51. As shown in FIGS. 52 and 53, a dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D that positively invalidates the operation line L due to the presence of the illegal ball Q may be used.

49, 50, and 51 show one specific example of the dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D, and the operation line invalidation member 7000D is a foul ball return passage (return passage portion 1014). It is oscillatedly attached to the course change portion (corner portion corresponding to directly above the lower plate ball supply port 211c).

That is, in FIG. 49, the operation line invalidation member 7000D has a horizontal plate-shaped ball receiving portion 2645, a plate-shaped invalidating portion 2646 projecting vertically to the right end of the ball receiving portion 2645, and a ball receiving portion 2645. It has a shaft hole 2647 formed at a corner where the nullification portion 2646 and the nullification portion 2646 intersect, and an arc-shaped ball stop portion 2648 centered on the shaft hole 2647 projecting to the right from the upper edge of the nullification portion 2646. The support shaft 2649 planted in the foul cover unit 150 is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 2647, and is rotated by about 90 ° counterclockwise from the ball receiving posture of FIG. 50 (a) in FIG. 50 (b). It can swing to the release posture. Further, the operation line invalidation member 7000D is provided with a balance weight 2660 on the opposite side of the ball receiving portion 2645 and the invalidating portion 2646 sandwiching the shaft hole 2647, and the ball receiving portion 2645 is urged by the balance weight 2660. The ball receiving posture shown in FIG. 50 (a) was maintained in a state where an external force (specifically, a load equivalent to one game ball) did not act on the ball receiving portion 2645, while a load equivalent to one game ball acted on the ball receiving portion 2645. When it swings to the release posture shown in FIG. 50 (b).

Further, the end edge of the invalidation portion 2646 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is an intersection side portion 2651 that turns around the shaft hole 2647 and crosses the foul ball return passage (return passage portion 1014). When the invalidating member 7000D swings to the release posture shown in FIG. 50 (b), the crossing side portion 2651 is fitted into the receiving portion 2652 of the foul ball return passage.

When a normal foul ball flows into the foul cover unit 150 provided with the above-mentioned dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D, the foul ball passes through the connecting passage 150h of the foul ball return passage as shown in FIG. 50 (a). Immediately after flowing down and changing the course downward at the course changing section, the ball is placed on the ball receiving section 2645 of the operation line invalidating member 7000D in the ball receiving posture. Due to the load of the foul ball, the operation line nullification member 7000D rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 2649 and changes to the release posture shown in FIG. 50 (b). Then, the foul ball mounted on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is discharged to the downstream storage passage 150e, so that the operation line invalidation member 7000D released from the foul ball is attached with the balance weight 2660. It returns to the original ball receiving posture by the force.

In rare cases, a plurality of foul balls may be generated at one time, but even in such a case, while the previous foul ball is processed by the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the later foul ball is as shown in FIG. 50 (b). It is stopped by the arc-shaped ball stop portion 2648, and is continuously processed after the operation line invalidation member 7000D is relocated. Therefore, even if a plurality of foul balls are generated at the same time, they can be processed one by one without any problem.

Next, the above-mentioned fraudulent act B (a plurality of fraudulent balls Q are connected to the operation line L and one of them is launched from the hit ball supply port 142a) to the foul cover unit 150 provided with the dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D. By intentionally firing the illegal ball weakly, it is made into a foul ball and taken out from the lower plate ball supply port 211c which is an opening for the ball, and further, the operation line L connected to the illegal ball is grasped and the subsequent illegal ball is performed. When the fraudulent ball Q (a fraudulent act of launching the ball Q into the game area 5a) flows in, the fraudulent ball Q flows down the connecting passage 150h as shown in FIG. Immediately after that, the ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidating member 7000D in the ball receiving posture. Then, due to the load of the illegal ball Q, the operation line invalidation member 7000D rotates counterclockwise around the support shaft 2649 and changes to the release posture shown in FIG. 51 (b). At this time, the invalidation portion 2646 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D also rotates, and the intersection side portion 2651 of the end edge crosses the foul ball return passage and fits into the receiving portion 2652 on the passage side, but the intersection side portion 2651 When crossing the foul ball return passage, the operation line L passing through the passage naturally also crosses, so that the operation line L is sandwiched between the intersection side portion 2651 and the receiving portion 2652 as shown in FIG. 51 (b) and cannot move (pinching). Stop). Then, since the illegal ball Q connected to the operation line L cannot fall, the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D is not released from the illegal ball Q and continues the release posture. Of course, since the operation line invalidation member 7000D is in a position that cannot be reached even if a hand is put in from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, which is an opening for the ball, there is no possibility that the illegal ball Q that stops at this position is taken out from the outside.

If the operation line L is meandered between the intersection side portion 2651 and the receiving portion 2652 to make it difficult for the operation line L to move backward, the operation line L is captured by the operation line invalidation member 7000D. It is also difficult to pull the illegal ball Q back to the hit ball supply port 142a side. As a result, the illegal ball Q remaining on the operation line invalidation member 7000D can be stored and recovered as a proof ball.

The above-mentioned dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D utilizes the own weight of the illegal ball Q, but even if the operation line invalidation member 7000D is operated by the electric drive means as shown in FIG. 52. good.

That is, in the operation line invalidation member 7000D of FIG. 52, the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653, which is an electric drive means, is connected to the portion provided with the balance weight 2660 described above, and the ball detector is connected to the invalidation unit 2646 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D. 2655 is provided, and when a game ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 and it is detected by the ball detector 2655, the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 rises and the operation line invalidating member 7000D changes from the ball receiving posture to the release posture. When the game ball is released from the ball receiving unit 2645 and detected by the ball detector 2655 (the signal changes from the presence or absence of the game ball), the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 descends and the operation line is changed. The nullification member 7000D is adapted to return from the release posture to the ball receiving posture.

When a normal foul ball is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidating member 7000D, the generation and emission of the foul ball is detected by the change of the signal of the ball detector 2655, and the solenoid 2653 receives it. In order to operate appropriately, foul balls are processed one by one in the same manner as the operation line invalidation member 7000D using its own weight.

On the other hand, when the illegal ball Q is placed on the ball receiving portion 2645 of the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the illegal ball Q is detected by the ball detector 2655, so that the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 rises to invalidate the operation line. Although the member 7000D changes to the release posture with the illegal ball Q, as described above, the operation line L is sandwiched between the intersecting side portion 2651 and the receiving portion 2652 of the invalidation portion 2646, and the illegal ball Q does not fall. Since the emission signal is not emitted from the ball detector 2655, the plunger 2654 of the solenoid 2653 stops at the ascending position. Therefore, since the fraudulent ball Q cannot be taken out from the target ball opening, fraudulent ball Q can be prevented.

The above-mentioned dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D cuts and invalidates the operation line L by providing a cutting blade at the intersecting side portion 2651 and / or the receiving portion 2652 of the invalidation portion 2646. be able to. Further, since the operation line invalidation member 7000D of the embodiment has a function of preventing the illegal ball Q from entering from the opening side for the ball while the ball receiving portion 2645 is blocking the return passage portion 104, the illegal ball described later will be described. It can also be used as a means of preventing reverse movement. Therefore, a higher fraud prevention function is exhibited.

Further, in the dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D, in addition to the above-mentioned configuration, for example, the invalidation portion is formed into a shutter plate structure that linearly advances and retreats to open and close the connecting passage 150h, and the tip of the shutter plate is formed. Is a crossing side that crosses the foul ball return passage, and a ball detector is installed downstream of the movable area of the crossing side in the middle of the flow path of the connecting passage 150h and passes through the movable area of the crossing side. The illegal ball Q after this is detected by this ball detector and the invalidation part is activated, so that the operation line L is pinched or cut at the crossing side portion crossing the connecting passage 150h. May be good.

Further, the above-mentioned dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D can also be applied to the first operation line invalidation member 700 of the ball feeding unit 140. Specifically, the ball feeding solenoid 145 provided in the ball feeding unit 140 is replaced with the solenoid 2653 of the operation line nullifying member 7000D, and the ball feeding member 144 is replaced with the operating line nullifying member 7000D. In this case, since the fraudulent ball Q stops in the ball feeding unit 140 and is not supplied to the ball launching device 540, the fraudulent deterrent effect can be surely enhanced.

Further, FIG. 53 is a dynamic operation line invalidation member 7000D, which winds up and invalidates the operation line L.

That is, the operation line nullification member 7000D is mounted in the connecting passage 150h of the foul cover unit 150 so as to be able to rotate about the rotation shaft 2656 in the direction orthogonal to the passage, and is a square ring-shaped nullification portion 2646. The motor 2657, which is an electric drive means for rotating the disabling portion 2646, and the horizontal bar crossing the connecting passage 150h of the disabling portion 2646 are provided as the crossing side portion 2651 downstream from the movable (rotating) region of the crossing side portion 2651. It is composed of a ball detector 2655 and a ball detector 2655, and each time a foul ball is detected by the ball detector 2655, the invalidation unit 2646 is rotated once.

When a normal foul ball flows into the foul cover unit 150 provided with such an operation line nullification member 7000D, the foul ball enters the connecting passage 150h and passes through the nullification section 2646, and the foul ball is detected. When detected by the vessel 2655, the invalidation unit 2646 spins once, but the foul ball flows down as it is and is discharged to the outside through the ball opening.

On the other hand, when the fraudulent ball Q due to the above-mentioned fraudulent act B flows into the foul cover unit 150 provided with the operation line invalidation member 7000D, the operation line L is also invalidated when the fraudulent ball Q goes under the invalidation unit 2646. Since the illegal ball Q is detected by the ball detector 2655 and the invalidation unit 2646 makes one rotation in order to pass through the conversion unit 2646, the operation line L winds around the invalidation unit 2646. Therefore, since the fraudulent ball Q stops in the communication passage 150h, there is no risk of it falling into the hands of the fraudulent person.

The ball detector 2655 for detecting the illegal ball Q may be displaced by receiving the tension of the operation line L attached to the illegal ball Q, and in such a case, the illegal ball Q can be reliably detected. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary idle rotation of the operation line invalidation member 7000D that winds up the operation line L described above.

As described above, the description of the embodiment relating to the dynamic operation line invalidation member includes the following technical ideas.
"A game area where you play games with a game ball,
A ball launcher that launches game balls,
A launch passage portion that forms a launch ball passage that communicates with the game area from the launch position of the ball launcher.
A return passage portion forming a foul ball return passage connecting a foul ball drop opening opened in the middle of the launch ball passage and a ball opening for discharging a game ball to the outside of the machine.
Equipped with fraud prevention means that can prevent the operation of the operation line attached to the fraudulent ball from the front of the machine.
The fraud prevention means is an operation line invalidating member that clamps, cuts, or winds the operation line to invalidate it.
The operation line nullification member includes an intersection side portion that crosses the foul ball return passage of the game ball, and after the illegal ball passes through the movable area of the intersection side portion, the intersection side portion is operated to operate the foul ball. A gaming machine characterized in that it is designed to cross a return passage, thereby pinching, cutting or winding the operation line passing through the foul ball return passage at the intersection, and invalidating the operation line. "

Next, as shown in FIGS. 10, 11, 39, 47, and 48, the third fraud prevention means provided at the foul ball drop port 1013 described above is the end (termination) of the launch rail 544. The operation line invalidation member 7000H provided on the outer rail 1001 and the operation line invalidation member 7000S provided on the end portion (specifically, the resin rail base 1001x) of the outer rail 1001.

The operation line nullification member 7000H provided at the end of the launch rail 544 on the protruding side is a sharp cutting blade, and a metal triangular plate is comb-shaped so that the operator's hand does not directly touch the cutting edge. It is covered with the safety cover part 1017 arranged in. The cutting blade is supported by the safety cover portion 1017.

Therefore, as described above, an illegal act such as pushing the illegal ball Q from the lower plate ball supply port 211c into the return passage portion 1014 using a special tool such as a cell plate to cause the illegal ball Q to flow backward and send it to the launch position of the ball launcher 540. When A is performed, when the illegal ball Q is placed on the end of the launch rail 544 and rolls due to the inclination toward the launch position, it is pulled by it (tension is applied) and the operation line L becomes the operation line invalidation member. It is cut by touching the cutting blade of 7000H. Therefore, the operation line L cannot be operated.

Further, a plurality of illegal balls Q are connected to the operation line L, one of them is sent from the hit ball supply port 142a to the launch position, and the foul ball is intentionally made into a foul ball from the lower plate ball supply port 211c which is an opening for the ball. Even when a fraudulent act B is performed in which the operation line L connected to the fraudulent ball Q is grabbed and the subsequent fraudulent ball Q is launched into the game area 5a, the fraudulent ball Q becomes a foul ball and the return passage portion 1014 is used. Since the operation line L touches the cutting blade of the operation line invalidation member 7000H in the process of falling, it is cut at that stage. Therefore, the operation line L cannot be operated.

On the other hand, the operation line invalidation member 7000S provided on the resin rail base 1001x constituting the outer rail 1001 has a large number of hard resin wires in a brush shape as shown in FIGS. 10, 39 and 47. It's a rush.

According to the operation line invalidation member 7000S, the illegal ball Q tentatively hangs in a state where it reaches the game area 5a and is connected to the operation line L, and the end of the operation line L is a lower plate ball supply port which is an opening for a ball. Even if an illegal person is grasping through the 211c, when the operation line L is pulled from the outside in order to raise the illegal ball Q in the game area 5a, the operation line L is caused by the tension between the wires of the operation line invalidation member 7000S. Since it gets in between, even if the force of the hand operating the operation line L is loosened in order to lower the illegal ball Q, the operation line L is not slippery due to the resistance received from the wire group of the operation line invalidation member 7000S. The movement of the loosened hand is not transmitted to the illegal ball Q. That is, since the fraudulent ball Q in the game area 5a cannot be lowered, it is possible to suppress fraudulent acts using the fraudulent ball Q as a result.

As described above, as the third fraud prevention means, the operation line nullification member 7000H on the launch rail 544 side is effective at the initial stage of the fraudulent acts A and B, and even if it is broken, the outer rail 1001 Since the operation line invalidation member 7000S on the side exerts an effect, a higher fraud prevention effect can be obtained.

Of course, it is also possible to use either one of the operation line invalidation member 7000H and 7000S alone, and a specific invalidation member of the operation line invalidation member 7000H and the operation line invalidation member 7000S is also implemented. The forms may be exchanged with each other, or the same invalidation member may be adopted.

Further, in addition to the case where the operation line invalidation members 7000H and 7000S are made into separate parts and attached to the launch rail 544 and the outer rail 1001 as in the embodiment, for example, the metal plate constituting the launch rail 544 is appropriately processed to invalidate the operation line. The metal member 7000H is integrally formed, or the wire is integrally formed on the resin rail base 1001x constituting the outer rail 1001, or the corner of the rail base 1001x has a V-groove shape as shown in FIG. 8B. The pinching portion 7000Sv may be engraved and the operation line L may be attracted to the depth of the groove of the pinching portion 7000Sv to be pinched.

Furthermore, the operation line invalidation member 7000S of the outer rail 1001 has the same configuration as the second operation line invalidation member 7000 as shown in FIG. 48, for example, the two metal plates 7011 described with reference to FIGS. 41 and 42. , 7022 may be formed, and the rail base 1001x of the outer rail 1001 may be provided with a guide portion 150k including a first inclined portion 150 ka and a second inclined portion 150 kb.

It may be provided at any position in the return passage portion 1014, provided that it is a portion that receives a pressing force when it is pulled straight by a tension caused by a pulling force by an unauthorized person. The operation line invalidation member 7000 of the embodiment is installed at a position where the player cannot touch even if the player inserts a fingertip through the opening for the ball, and this position is the safety aspect of the player and the operation line is invalid. It is preferable in consideration of the crime prevention aspect that makes it difficult to illegally work on the chemical member 7000 itself.

Further, in the embodiment, the operation line invalidation member 7000 is provided so as to be offset to one side of the connecting passage 150h, but as shown in FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), the operation line invalidation member 7000 is provided to fill the passage width. The cutting blade may be arranged. In FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), the end portion of the bottom wall 150 g of the foul ball receiving portion 150c and the start end portion of the connecting passage 150h are made into a comb-shaped safety cover portion 1017, and the cutting edge of the cutting blade is an operator. It is designed not to touch. In this case, the cutting blade of the operation line invalidation member 7000 uses a well-known folding blade structure or a chip structure, which is installed in the sheath-shaped holder portion 1018 on the upper surface of the upper passage wall 150i and with the unit main body 151. If the loading port 1019 and the discharging port 1020 are provided in each of the lid members 152, and the cutting blade is extruded in a sloping manner so that the old and new can be exchanged, sharp sharpness can always be maintained. In addition, in FIGS. 44 (a) and 44 (b), the code 1021 is a pinching split line portion for the operation line L cut into the valley portion of the safety cover portion 1017, and the operation line L may bite into the pinching split line portion 1021. It has become like. Therefore, even if the operation line invalidating member 7000 of the cutting blade fails to cut the operation line L, the operation line L can bite into the pinching split line portion 1021 such as the bottom wall 150 g, so that the certainty of fraud prevention is ensured. improves.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the foul ball is returned to the lower plate is shown, but there is also a gaming machine having a structure in which the foul ball is returned to the upper plate (including the case where there is no lower plate). In the case of, the fraudulent act of invading the fraudulent ball Q to which the operation line L is attached into the game area 5a by using the space communicating from the upper plate ball supply port (opening for the ball) to the game area 5a (the above-mentioned fraudulent act A, There is a risk of fraudulent activity similar to B). In the case of such a gaming machine, it is exemplified that a second fraud prevention means is provided at a predetermined portion of the foul return passage located in the space communicating from the upper plate ball supply port to the gaming area 5a, as in the above-described embodiment. can.

The glass unit 160 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31 and the like. The glass unit 160 is inserted into the glass unit mounting portion 101h from the rear so as to close the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 in the door frame base unit 100, and is detachably mounted. When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the glass unit 160 makes the game area 5a of the game board 5 attached to the main body frame 4 visible from the player side (front), and also makes the game visible. It closes the front of the region 5a.

The glass unit 160 has a frame-shaped glass frame 161 that is larger than the inner peripheral shape of the door window 101a of the door frame base 101 and can be attached to the glass unit mounting portion 101h, and the glass frame 161 is closed and the outer periphery is a glass frame. Two transparent glass plates 162 attached to 161 and a pair of glass units rotatably attached to the rear side of the door frame base 101 in the door frame base unit 100 to attach the glass frame 161 to the door frame base 101. It is provided with a mounting member 163.

The glass frame 161 is a pair of mounting pieces 161a extending outward in a flat plate shape from a position below the upper left and right corners in the front view, and a band extending downward from the lower end and extending along the lower side. It has a plate-shaped locking piece 161b and. The mounting piece 161a of the glass frame 161 can be brought into contact with the protruding portion 163b of the glass unit mounting member 163. The locking piece 161b can be inserted into the space between the door frame base 101 and the intermediate reinforcing frame 114 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110 (see FIG. 115). The two glass plates 162 are attached to the front end side and the rear end side of the glass frame 161 respectively, and are separated from each other in the front-rear direction so as to form a space between them (see FIG. 115).

The glass unit mounting member 163 has a disk-shaped base 163a that is rotatably mounted around an axis extending back and forth on the rear side of the door frame base 101, and a rod-shaped protrusion from the base 163a in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. It has a protruding portion 163b and a protruding portion 163b. The glass unit mounting member 163 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the upper two corners of the four corners of the door window 101a on the rear surface of the door frame base 101.

To attach the glass unit 160 to the door frame base 101, first, the glass unit attachment member 163 attached to the door frame base 101 is rotated so that the protrusion 163b is located above the base 163a. do. Then, from the rear side of the door frame base 101, the locking piece 161b of the glass frame 161 of the glass unit 160 was inserted from above into the gap between the door frame base 101 and the intermediate reinforcing frame 114 of the door frame reinforcing unit 110. Above, the front end of the glass frame 161 is brought into contact with the rear surface of the glass unit mounting portion 101h of the door frame base 101. After that, the glass unit mounting member 163 is rotated so that the protruding portion 163b is located below the base portion 163a, and the protruding portion 163b is brought into contact with the rear surface of the mounting piece 161a of the glass frame 161. As a result, the glass unit 160 is attached to the door frame base 101.

When the glass unit 160 is removed from the door frame base 101, it can be removed by reversing the procedure described above. As a result, the glass unit 160 can be attached to and detached from the door frame base 101 (door frame base unit 100).

In the glass unit 160, when the protruding portion 163b of the glass unit mounting member 163 is in the rotational position located below the base portion 163a, the protruding portion 163b restricts the movement of the glass frame 161 to the rear. Therefore, even if vibration or the like acts on the glass unit mounting member 163, the protruding portion 163b does not rotate to a position above the base portion 163a. Therefore, the restriction on the rearward movement of the glass frame 161 is not naturally lifted, and the glass unit 160 does not naturally come off from the door frame base 101.

[3-3. Security cover]
The security cover 170 in the door frame 3 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 30 and 31 and the like. The security cover 170 is attached to the rear side of the door frame base unit 100 so as to cover the lower part of the rear surface of the glass unit 160, and is made of a transparent synthetic resin. The security cover 170 is arranged so as to be separated from each other to the left and right by a flat plate-shaped main body portion 171 having a predetermined outer periphery and a flat plate-shaped rear projecting piece 172 protruding rearward along the outer peripheral edge of the main body portion 171. It is provided with a pair of locking pieces 173 that project forward from the main body portion 171 and can be locked to the rear side of the door frame base 101.

The main body 171 of the security cover 170 is formed so that the lower end thereof protrudes downward from the lower end of the glass unit 160 when attached to the door frame base unit 100. Further, the upper end of the main body 171 is formed in a shape along the lower end of the game area 5a in the game board 5 in a state where the upper end is assembled to the pachinko machine 1. More specifically, the upper end of the main body portion 171 is formed in a shape along a part of the inner rail 1002 of the front component 1000, which will be described later, an out guide portion 1003, a part of the lower right rail 1004, and the right rail 1005. The rails are formed so as not to protrude into the game area 5a in a state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1.

The rear projecting piece 172 is formed over substantially the entire circumference of the outer peripheral edge of the main body portion 171. Therefore, the crime prevention cover 170 is formed in a shallow box shape that is opened rearward by the main body portion 171 and the rear projecting piece 172, and has high strength and rigidity. Further, the rear projecting piece 172 also protrudes rearward from a part of the rear surface of the main body portion 171 which is different from the outer peripheral edge of the main body portion 171. The rear projecting piece 172 projecting rearward from a part of the rear surface of the main body 171 is formed along a part of the outer rail 1001 in the front component 1000 of the game board 5 in a state of being assembled in the pachinko machine 1. ing.

The rear projecting piece 172 is not formed at a portion of the game board 5 located between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in a state of being assembled on the pachinko machine 1. As a result, the game ball B (game ball B launched by the ball launcher 540) passing between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 does not come into contact with the rear projecting piece 172 of the security cover 170, and the game area. It does not hinder the driving of the game ball B into 5a.

The pair of locking pieces 173 are elastically locked to the rear side of the door frame base unit 100 (speaker duct 103 and cable cover 109). As a result, the security cover 170 can be easily attached to and detached from the door frame base unit 100.

Then, when the handle 182 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid has a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 182. The drive of the 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be driven. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 182 in some way without touching the handle 182, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the player's contact. Therefore, the firing solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be driven. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 182 by a method different from the original method to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed. ..

Further, in the handle unit 180, when the player presses the single-shot button 193 while the player is rotating the handle 182, the single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, and the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 determines. The drive of the firing solenoid 542 is stopped. As a result, the firing of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 182, and by releasing the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193, before operating the single-shot button 193. The game ball B can be driven into the game area 5a again with the driving strength.

Further, the handle unit 180 includes four first protrusions 182a, a second protrusion 182b, a third protrusion 182c, and a fourth protrusion 182d on the handle 182, and rotates the handle 182 most in the front-view clockwise direction. When the game ball B is driven into the game area 5a most strongly (so-called "right-handed"), the fourth protrusion 182d of the first protrusion 182a when the handle 182 is not rotated. Since the position is almost the same as the position, by changing the handle 182 with the fourth protrusion 182d as the first protrusion 182a, the player can maintain the handle 182 in the "right-handed" position in a comfortable state. It is possible to reduce the feeling of fatigue of the player and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

The inner diameter of the annular portion 380b is formed to be substantially the same as that of the cylindrical portion 378b of the outer peripheral substrate cover 378.

In the assembled state of the effect operation button unit 360, as shown in FIG. 78 (a), the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is in a state where the elevating base 364 is urged upward by the pair of elevating springs 365. It is inserted from below into the locking portion 371c of the cam portion 371a of the elevating cam member 371. In this state, the elevating base 364 is in the descending position moved downward, and the pair of elevating springs 365 are compressed. Further, in this state, the central button main body 373 is located at the upward moving end due to the urging force of the button spring 374, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. It has become.

Therefore, in the state of being assembled to the staging operation unit 300, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 protrudes slightly upward from the upper surface of the staging operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. Also protrudes upward (see FIG. 79 etc.).

In this state (state of FIG. 78A), when the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward and moved downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, the center button main body 373 is moved downward. The pressing detection piece 373e is detected by the pressing detection sensor 381, and the pressing operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is detected. In the state where the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed, the upper surface of the central button cover 375 has a height substantially coincided with the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 (see FIG. 81 (c)).

Further, even if the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is pressed downward in this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 does not move downward, and the pressing detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 presses. It is not detected by the detection sensor 381. That is, the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 is not detected.

When the elevating drive gear 368 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367 in this descending position, the elevating cam is driven via the driven gear 369 meshing with the elevating drive gear 368. The gear member 370 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view, and the elevating cam member 371 connected to the elevating cam drive gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevating cam member 371 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the cam portion 371a seen in the front in FIG. 78 moves to the right, and the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 moves from the locking portion 371c to the third. One cam 371b rolls to the left portion of the locking portion 371c, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d that rolls relatively to the left along the first cam 371b with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 is located from the left end of the first cam 371b to the second cam 371d side, the second cam Since the second cam 371d extends vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d moves upward along the second cam 371d due to the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the guide pin 364d and the guide pin 364d. At the same time, the elevating base 364 rises and is in the ascending position.

In the raised position, as shown in FIG. 78 (b), the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is in contact with the second cam 371d of one cam portion 371a and the third cam 371e of the remaining cam portion 371a. It is in a state. In this state, the drive of the operation button elevating drive motor 367 is temporarily stopped.

In the raised position, the upper end of the vertical wall portion 364c of the elevating base 364 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and further upward movement of the elevating base 364 is restricted. Further, in the raised position, the positional relationship between the central button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) in the lowered position is maintained, and the central button cover 375 is maintained. The entire pressing operation unit 303 including the outer peripheral button cover 380 is moved upward, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 projects upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380.

When the center button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are moved to the ascending position in the state of being assembled to the staging operation unit 300, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 are in a state of protruding more than the upper surface of the staging operation ring 330 (FIG. 81 (b) and the like). reference).

When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the button spring 374 in this raised position, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 are attached with the button spring 374. It moves downward against the force, and the center button body 373 comes into contact with the elevating base 364. In the state where the center button main body 373 is in contact with the elevating base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the central button main body 373 is in a state of protruding downward from the elevating base 364, but the elevating base 364 is the button unit base 361. The press detection piece 373e is not detected by the press detection sensor 381 because it is separated from the press detection piece 373e.

When the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) is pressed downward with a force stronger than the urging force of the elevating spring 365, the center button cover 375 and the center button body 373 resist the urging force of the button spring 374. After the center button body 373 abuts on the elevating base 364, the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361. Become. When the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361, the elevating base 364 is in the lowered position, and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is also in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364.

In this way, when the elevating base 364 abuts on the button unit base 361 while the center button body 373 abuts on the elevating base 364, the press detection piece 373e of the center button body 373 protruding downward from the elevating base 364e. Is detected by the press detection sensor 381, and the press of the center button cover 375 (center press operation unit 303a) is detected.

On the other hand, when the outer peripheral button cover 380 (outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b) is pressed downward by a force higher than the urging force of the elevating spring 365 in the raised position, the elevating base 364 via the outer peripheral button cover 380 raises and lowers the spring. It moves downward against the urging force of 365, and the lower end of the elevating base 364 comes into contact with the button unit base 361. In this state, the outer peripheral button cover 380 is in the lowered position together with the elevating base 364, but since the center button cover 375 (center pressing operation unit 303a) protrudes upward due to the urging force of the button spring 374, the center button main body The press detection piece 373e of 373 does not protrude downward from the elevating base 364, and the press detection piece 373e is not detected by the press detection sensor 381.

To return the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 (pressing operation unit 303) from the ascending position to the descending position, the elevating cam member 371 is rotated counterclockwise in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367. Then, in FIG. 78 (b), the third cam 371e, which is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364, moves to the right (direction of the guide pin 364d), so that the third cam The guide pin 364d is pressed downward by the 371e, and the elevating base 364 moves downward against the urging force of the elevating spring 365 via the guide pin 364d.

Then, when the guide pin 364d moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e to the first cam 371b side with the rotation of the elevating cam member 371, the downward movement of the elevating base 364 stops and the guide pin 364d moves to the first cam. Roll along 371b. After that, when the guide pin 364d reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 364d is inserted into the locking portion 371c recessed upward by the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the operation is performed. By stopping the rotation of the elevating cam member 371 by the button elevating drive motor 367, the original descending position is restored.

[3-5-5i. Operation unit relay board unit]
The operation unit relay board unit 390 in the staging operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 69 and 70. The operation unit relay board unit 390 is attached to the rear surface of the operation unit base 320. The operation unit relay board unit 390 includes a box-shaped substrate box 391 attached to the rear surface of the main body portion 321 of the operation unit base 320, and an operation unit relay board 392 installed in the substrate box 391.

The operation unit relay board 392 includes a dish center upper decorative board 314, a dish center lower decorative board 316, an operation ring drive motor 342, a first rotation detection sensor 347, a second rotation detection sensor 348, an effect operation ring decorative board 352, and a vibration speaker. 354, operation button elevating drive motor 367, center button decorative board 376, outer peripheral button decorative board 377, press detection sensor 381, and elevating detection sensor 382, relaying the connection between the dish unit relay board 214 of the dish base unit 210. There is.

[3-5-5j. Action of staging operation unit]
Next, the operation of the staging operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 79 to 81 and the like. FIG. 79 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the effect operation ring and the rotation drive unit in the left side view of the effect operation unit. FIG. 80 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the staging operation ring and the staging operation ring decorative substrate in a plan view of the staging operation unit viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit. FIG. 81A is a front view of the dish unit shown in a normal state, FIG. 81B is a front view of the dish unit when the pressing operation unit is in the raised position, and FIG. 81C is a central pressing of the pressing operation unit. It is a front view of the dish unit when the operation part is pressed.

The staging operation unit 300 is provided with a staging operation unit 301 on the upper surface thereof, which can be operated by the player. The effect operation unit 301 is composed of a large annular rotation operation unit 302 and a pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302. The pressing operation unit 303 is a cylindrical central pressing operation unit 303a located at the center of the rotation operation unit 302, and an annular outer peripheral pressing operation unit arranged between the central pressing operation unit 303a and the rotation operation unit 302. It is composed of 303b.

The rotation operation unit 302 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337 of the staging operation ring 330. The central pressing operation unit 303a is formed by the central button cover 375 and the central button main body 373 of the staging operation button unit 360, and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is formed by the outer peripheral button cover 380 and the outer peripheral board cover 378.

The effect operation unit 300 is assembled to the dish unit 200 in a state of being inclined so that the front side of the virtual plane formed by the upper surface of the annular rotation operation unit 302 (effect operation ring 330) is lowered. Therefore, the pressing direction of the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 is inclined so as to move backward as it goes downward (in other words, it moves forward as it goes upward). ..

In the normal state, the staging operation unit 300 is in a state in which the pressing operation unit 303 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. Specifically, the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380 slightly protrudes upward from the upper surface of the staging operation ring 330, and the upper surface of the central button cover 375 protrudes upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral button cover 380. (See Fig. 79 etc.).

In this normal state, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated clockwise by the operation ring drive motor 342 of the rotation drive unit 340 in the left side view, the effect operation ring 330 is passed through the transmission gear 350 for the operation ring. The rotation operation unit 302 of the above rotates in the clockwise direction in a plan view. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view. ..

The operation ring drive motor 342 is a stepping motor, and by repeatedly rotating forward and reverse within a predetermined rotation angle range, the rotation operation unit 302 can be reciprocally rotated and vibrated. This vibration is different from the vibration caused by the vibration speaker 354, and only the rotation operation unit 302 vibrates.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is not only rotated by the operation ring drive motor 342, but can also be rotated by the player. When the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 of the rotation drive unit 340 is rotated in the clockwise direction in the left side view via the transmission gear 350 for the operation ring and rotates. When the operation unit 302 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in the plan view, the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view. The transmission detection gear member 345 detects rotation by two sensors, a first rotation detection sensor 347 and a second rotation detection sensor 348.

The rotation of the transmission detection gear member 345 is detected by detecting a plurality of detection pieces 345b by the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348. More specifically, the distance between the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 separated in the circumferential direction is equal to the distance between the plurality of detection pieces 345b arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. , The interval is not an integral multiple. As a result, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 are configured so as not to detect the detection piece 345b at the same timing.

In the present embodiment, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the clockwise direction in the left side view, the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b. do. On the other hand, when the transmission detection gear member 345 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in the left side view, the first rotation detection sensor 347 detects the detection piece 345b, and then the second rotation detection sensor 348 detects the detection piece 345b. Detect. Therefore, the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348 can detect the rotation direction of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) in the order of detecting the detection piece 345b. Further, the rotation speed of the transmission detection gear member 345 (rotation operation unit 302) can be detected by the detection time of the detection piece 345b in the first rotation detection sensor 347 and the second rotation detection sensor 348.

In this way, since the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 can be detected, the content of the player participation type effect can be changed according to the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302. Further, when the rotation operation of the rotation operation unit 302 is detected, the rotation operation unit 302 is rotationally driven in the same direction as the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, so that the rotation operation can be lightened and assisted. At the same time, the rotation operation unit 302 is rotationally driven in the direction opposite to the rotation operation direction by the operation ring drive motor 342, so that the rotation operation can be made heavy and a click feeling can be given.

The rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 is formed by a ring outer upper cover 335, a ring outer lower cover 336, and a ring inner cover 337, and is formed in a shape in which an arc of more than half of a circle extends in an annular shape. ing. In other words, the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a donut shape. As shown in the figure, the rotation operation unit 302 is attached in a state where the outer peripheral surface, the upper surface, and a part of the inner peripheral surface are exposed, so that the rotation operation unit 302 is formed in a shape that can be easily grasped by the player's hand. ..

As a result, the player can touch the rotation operation unit 302 from various directions, so that the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated and operated in a way that is easy for the player to do, and the rotation operation unit 302 can be operated. The sex is enhanced. Further, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated while the pressing operation unit 303 is in either the descending position or the ascending position. Since the lower surface side of the rotation operation unit 302 is attached to the operation unit base 320, the rotation operation unit 302 cannot be gripped like a steering wheel of an automobile.

As shown in FIG. 80, the staging operation unit 300 includes a staging operation ring decorative substrate 352 in which a plurality of LEDs are arranged in an annular shape below the staging operation ring 330. As a result, the rotation operation unit 302 of the effect operation ring 330 can be light-emitting and decorated by causing the LED of the effect operation ring decoration substrate 352 to emit light. Further, in the effect operation ring decorative substrate 352, since a plurality of LEDs are arranged in a ring shape along the rotation operation unit 302, the plurality of LEDs arranged in a row are sequentially arranged according to the rotation of the rotation operation unit 302. By emitting light, it is possible to illuminate and decorate only a specific portion of the rotating rotation operation unit 302. This makes it possible for the player to have the illusion that an LED (decorative substrate) is provided in the rotating rotation operation unit 302.

In the normal state of the staging operation unit 300, as shown in FIG. 81A, the pressing operation unit 303 arranged in the ring of the rotation operation unit 302 has an upper surface thereof more than the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a descending position that protrudes slightly upward. In this state, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated, and the central pressing operation unit 303a in the pressing operation unit 303 can be pressed. When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a (center button cover 375) descends to substantially the same height as the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380), and the pressing is detected. Pressing is detected by the sensor 381.

In this normal (lowering position) state, even if the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b in the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed downward, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b (outer peripheral button cover 380) does not move downward, and the pressing is detected. No pressing is detected by the sensor 381.

In a normal state, when the elevating cam member 371 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in a plan view by the operation button elevating drive motor 367, the guide pin 364d of the elevating base 364 is disengaged from the cam portion 371a (first cam 371b). Then, due to the urging force of the pair of elevating springs 365, the pressing operation unit 303 vigorously protrudes upward together with the elevating base 364 to be in the ascending position (see FIG. 81 (b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 303 is located above the upper surface of the rotation operating unit 302. In other words, the central button cover 375 and the outer peripheral button cover 380 project significantly upward from the upper surface of the staging operation ring 330.

When the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, first, the central pressing operation unit 303a moves downward against the urging force of the button spring 374, and the central pressing operation unit 303a The upper surface and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are in a state of substantially the same height. In this state, the press detection sensor 381 does not detect the press. Further, the central pressing operation unit 303a moves downward together with the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b against the urging force of the elevating spring 365, and the upper surfaces of the central pressing operation unit 303a and the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b are the rotation operation unit 302. It is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface (see FIG. 81 (c)). In this state, the press detection sensor 381 detects the press.

Further, when the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is pressed downward while the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the central pressing operation unit 303a remains projected upward from the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b. The outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b and the central pressing operation unit 303a move downward, and the upper surface of the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is in a state of substantially the same height as the upper surface of the rotation operation unit 302 (see FIG. 81 (a)). .. In this state, the press detection sensor 381 does not detect the press.

As described above, the pressing operation unit 303 of the present embodiment is not detected by the pressing detection sensor 381 unless the central pressing operation unit 303a is pressed to the downward moving end regardless of the descending position or the ascending position. ing. Therefore, since it is possible to urge the player to firmly press the center pressing operation unit 303a, it is possible to draw attention to the operation of the staging operation unit 301 in the player participation type production. , Player participation type production can be more enjoyed.

The rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated even when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position. Therefore, when the pressing operation unit 303 is in the raised position, depending on the player, the pressing operation unit 303 may be used as a clue to facilitate the rotation operation, or the pressing operation unit 303 may be an obstacle to the rotation operation. The operability of the rotation operation unit 302 can be changed, and more various operations can be enjoyed.

When the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 held by the cable holder 103a causes the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 to be held by the hinge pin 122 on the door frame and the hinge pin 122 on the door frame. It can be pulled toward the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 126 under the door frame.

Further, in the present embodiment, the door passes through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502, is centered on the central axis (axis core) of the hinge pin 122 above the door frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame, and is closer to the door than the cable holder 103a in the speaker duct 103. The angle between the tangent line tangent to the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axis core) side of the hinge pin 122 above the frame and the hinge pin 126 below the door frame and the front surface of the main body frame 4 is 45 degrees. It is configured as follows. As a result, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the pressing portion abuts on the connection cable 503, thereby closing the tip end side of the connection cable guide member 502 that is open via the connection cable 503. Since it can be pressed in the direction, the connection cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed as the door frame 3 moves in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be reliably closed. Further, since the maximum opening angle β of the connection cable guide member 502 that rotates (opens and closes) with the opening and closing of the door frame 3 can be set to 45 degrees or less, the connection cable guide member 502 is used when the door frame 3 is closed. Can be reliably rotated in the closing direction, and the same effects as described above can be obtained.

It bends at about 1/3 of the width of the left and right and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589. Then, on the upper side of the center of the payout blade 589, after bending to the right in the rear view with a width slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B, a gap slightly larger than the game ball B is formed between the payout blade 589 and the outer circumference. It extends downward in an arc shape concentric with the payout blade 589 so as to form, and then extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position on the right side of the rear view from the center of the payout blade 589.

In the payout passage 580a, the payout detection sensor 591 is arranged below the payout blade 589 and directly above the downstream end. A non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch is used for the payout detection sensor 591.

The ball ejection passage 580b branches at a portion of the payout passage 580a that extends diagonally downward from the upstream end and bends to the right, and extends vertically to the lower end along the left side of the rear view, and is seen in the back view of the bottom surface. It opens downward near the left end. At this branching portion, a part of the inner wall of the passage forming the payout passage 580a has a predetermined distance dimension, and a ball clogging prevention portion 581r is projected in a rib shape toward the ball ejection passage 580b, and the ball clogging prevention portion is provided. The upper surface of the 581r and the inner wall surface of the passage forming the payout passage 580a are formed in the same plane to form a downwardly inclined surface in the rear view. A detailed description of the ball clogging prevention unit 581r will be described later.

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

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

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

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

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

The ball pulling lever 593 is attached to the payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the left side of the rear view near the upper end of the ball pulling movable piece 592. A part of the ball pulling lever 593 penetrates the rear lid 582 of the payout device and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the descending end, the lower part can come into contact with the ball pulling movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball pulling movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction of the rear view can be restricted. The ball pulling passage 580b can be closed by the ball pulling movable piece 592. Further, by locating the ball pulling lever 593 at the rising end, the ball pulling movable piece 592 can be rotated to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened (FIG. FIG. See 106). In this way, the ball can be pulled out by opening the ball pulling passage 580b using the ball pulling lever 593.

When the ball is pulled out by raising the ball pulling lever 593 to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 rotatable, the game ball B which is in a state like a string of beads on the upstream side of the ball pulling movable piece 592. However, it will flow over the ball-extracting movable piece 592 to the ball-extracting passage 580b side. At this time, since the ball ejection passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a flows straight down to the ball ejection passage 580b side. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball ejection passage 580b communicates with the island equipment side, there is no such thing as the payout blade 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so that the game ball B is from the payout passage 580a side. Will flow down soon.

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

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

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

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

[4-7-2b. Rotational position of payout blade]
As described above, the payout device 580 includes a spur gear-shaped drive gear 585 (number of teeth Z0: 9) attached to the rotating shaft of the payout motor 584, and a spur gear-shaped first transmission gear 586 that meshes with the drive gear 585. Number of teeth Z1: 20), spur gear-shaped second transmission gear 587 that meshes with the first transmission gear 586 (number of teeth Z2: 20), spur gear-shaped payout gear 588a that meshes with the second transmission gear 587 (number of teeth) It is provided with a payout gear member 588 having Z3: 24) and a plurality of detection pieces 588b, a payout blade 589 that rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588, a blade rotation detection sensor 590 that detects the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588, and the like. When the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is rotationally driven, the rotation is transmitted so as to rotate the payout blade 589 via the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear 588a of the payout gear member 588. Will be done.

Here, the rotational speed of the payout gear member 588 is such that the rotational speed of the payout motor 584 is reduced by the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear 588a of the payout gear member 588. .. This reduction ratio n is set to the number of teeth Z0 (= 9) of the drive gear 585 / the number of teeth Z3 (= 24) of the payout gear 588a of the payout gear member 588 by calculation by mechanics. In the present embodiment, the payout motor 584 is a stepping motor excited by 2-2 phase excitation having a rotation shaft that rotates 18 degrees in one step rotation (the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 20 steps and 360 degrees ( = 18 degrees x 20 steps) The payout blade 589, which rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588, is 6.75 degrees (= 18 degrees x reduction ratio n) when the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates one step. It will rotate. As a result, when the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 rotates 54 steps, the payout blade 589 rotates 364.5 degrees (= 6.75 degrees x 54 steps), and when it makes one rotation (360 degrees rotation), it rotates 4.5 degrees. It will rotate extra degrees.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 54 steps, the payout blade 589 is rotated by 364.5 degrees, so that the payout blade 589 is rotated once (360 degrees). It is necessary to rotate the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 in steps of 53.333 ... (= 360 degrees ÷ 6.75 degrees), and step drive to the payout motor 584 corresponding to one rotation (360 degree rotation) of the payout blade 589. The number of steps, which is the number of times of, is not an integer.

That is, in the present embodiment, three ball accommodating portions 589b are formed on the payout blade 589 at equal intervals, and the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is step-driven and rotated by 18 degrees as a predetermined angle. The payout blade 589 rotates by 6.75 degrees via the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear 588a of the payout gear member 588 (that is, the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is 1). When the step rotation (rotation by 18 degrees), the payout blade 589 rotates 6.75 degrees), so that the payout blade 589 can send out one game ball B every 120 degree rotation, and pay out. In order to rotate the blade 589 by 120 degrees, it is necessary to rotate the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 in steps of 17.777 ... (= 120 degrees ÷ 6.75 degrees). Therefore, in the present embodiment, the 18-step rotation, which is an integer rounded up after the decimal point, is set as the number of step drives to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball by the payout blade 589. By rotating the 589 by more than 120 degrees (actually, by rotating it by 121.5 degrees (= 18-step rotation x 6.75 degrees)), the rotation position of the payout blade 589 to the position where the next game ball B is received. Can be rotated.

Although the payout blade 589 can pay out three game balls B for each rotation (360 degree rotation), only one ball may be paid out, for example, cigarette tar or dust. Since the blade rotation detection sensor 590 may erroneously detect the rotation position of the payout blade 589 due to such reasons, the origin of the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is set every time one game ball B is paid out. Is preferable. In the present embodiment, as described above, the number of step drives to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball by the payout blade 589 is set to 18 step rotation, which is an integer rounded up to the nearest whole number. The payout blade 589 is rotated over 120 degrees (actually, it is rotated by 121.5 degrees (= 18 step rotation x 6.75 degrees)), and it is paid out every time one game ball B is paid out. The process of setting the origin of the rotation position of the blade 589 is performed to improve the accuracy of the rotation position of the payout blade 589.

Further, as described above, the number of step drives to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball B by the payout blade 589 is not an integer, so that every time one game ball is paid out. Even if an error is accumulated, the rotation angle of the payout blade 589 is detected by a plurality of detection pieces 588b of the payout gear member 588 provided coaxially with the rotation axis of the payout blade 589, so that one game ball can be obtained. The accumulated error can be reset each time it is paid out. As a result, even if an error occurs every time one game ball is paid out due to the influence of cigarette tar or dust, the accumulated error can be reliably reset every time one game ball is paid out. You can do it. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for an error to occur in the rotational position of the payout blade 589 that receives and sends out the game ball.

Further, as described above, the number of step drives to the payout motor 584 corresponding to the delivery of one game ball B by the payout blade 589 is not an integer, so that every time one game ball is paid out. The positioning position is different every time. As a result, the contact positions between the game ball and the payout blade 589 are different each time, so that the positions where tar and dust adhere can be dispersed. Of course, if the reduction ratio of the rotation transmission member is set so as to cause such a positioning error, the error is accumulated, but even if the error is accumulated every time one game ball is paid out, the rotation angle of the payout blade 589 is set. By detecting with a plurality of detection pieces 588b of the payout gear member 588 provided coaxially with the rotation axis of the payout blade 589, the accumulated error is reset to some extent. As a result, the accuracy of the number of game balls to be paid out is guaranteed. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1, the rotation position of the ball feed rotating portion that receives and feeds the game ball is changed each time the game ball is discharged to disperse the position where the tar and dust adhere to the slingshot and dust. On the other hand, it is possible to have a strong payout device 580. As described above, the payout device 580 has one payout passage 580a. Therefore, when the payout speed of the game ball is the same as that of the payout device having the payout blades in the payout passages of Article 2, the payout blade 589 of the payout device 580 having the payout passage 580a of Article 1 in the present embodiment. Needs to rotate twice as fast. Then, the payout blade 589 of the payout device 580 having the payout passage 580a of Article 1 in the present embodiment collides with the game ball and the payout blade 589 as compared with the payout device having the payout blades in the payout passages of Article 2. Since the number of times is doubled, there is a high possibility that tobacco tar and dust will adhere to the payout blade 589.

In the present embodiment, when the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 54 steps, the payout blade 589 exceeds one rotation as described above. If the control is performed to determine and manage the set, an angle difference of 4.5 degrees will occur with respect to one rotation of the payout blade 589 every 54 steps of the rotation axis of the payout motor 584. For example, 80 sets. In the case of, the angle difference is finally accumulated up to 360 degrees (= 4.5 degrees × 80 sets), and the number of balls to be paid out of the game ball B is increased by 3.

As described above, the payout gear member 588 is provided with three flat plate-shaped detection pieces 588b extending outward at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. Specifically, three 120-degree regions having a 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is formed and a 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is not formed are arranged along the circumferential direction. .. As described above, the detection piece 588b is detected by the blade rotation detection sensor 590, and the detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is input to the payout control board 633.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the payout control board 633 rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588 based on the detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 so that the above-mentioned angle difference does not occur. The game ball B is set as one control range by setting a 120-degree region having a 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is formed and a 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is not formed as one management range. It can be managed as an operation to pay out one by one.

Specifically, first, of the 120-degree region of the payout gear member 588 in the circumferential direction, the detection piece 588b blocks the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 in the 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is formed. Since it is in a state, the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is rotated in 9 steps (corresponding to 60.75 degrees (= 6.75 degrees x 9 steps) rotation of the payout blade 589 that rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588) as a light-shielding range. Since the detection piece 588b does not block the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 in the 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is not formed, the light receiving range is the 9-step rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584. (It corresponds to 60.75 degrees (= 6.75 degrees x 9 steps) rotation of the payout blade 589 that rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588.).

That is, in the present embodiment, the region of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction of the payout gear member 588 is detected as 9-step rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 with the region of 60 degrees where the detection piece 588b is formed as a light shielding range. It is managed by 18-step rotation including 9-step rotation of the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 with the 60-degree region where the piece 588b is not formed as the light receiving range, with respect to the payout of one ball of the game ball B. The rotation of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 18 steps.

When the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 9 steps, the payout blade 589, which rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588, rotates 60.75 degrees (= 6.75 degrees x 9 steps), which is a light-shielding range of 60 degrees. Since the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 can rotate slightly larger than the light receiving range of 60 degrees, the 60 degree region (light shielding range) where the detection piece 588b is formed and It is possible to reliably discriminate the region (light receiving range) of 60 degrees in which the detection piece 588b is not formed.

Here, a method of setting the origin of the payout blade 589 that rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588 will be described with reference to FIG. 107. As shown in FIG. 107 (a), the payout control board 633 has a state in which the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 transitions the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 from the cutoff state to the non-cutoff state (“first edge”). The "detection state") is set with the rotation position of the payout blade 589 as point A. At this point A, the blade piece 589a of the payout blade 589 restricts the movement of the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589.

The payout control board 633 sets the rotation position of the payout blade 589, which is the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 rotated by 5 steps from the point A, as the origin as shown in FIG. 107 (b). At this origin, only one game ball B in the payout passage 580a is housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589. In this state, the center (center of gravity) of the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 and the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589 are arranged on the same vertical line.

The payout control board 633 sets the rotation position of the payout blade 589, which is obtained by rotating the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 from the origin by 4 steps, as point B. At this point B, the detection piece 588b of the payout gear member 588 is in a state in which the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is transitioned from the non-blocking state to the blocking state (referred to as “second edge detection state”). As shown in FIG. 107 (d), in the region where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 that rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588 rotates from the point A to the origin and the point B, the light receiving range (that is, the above-mentioned payout gear) Of the 120-degree region in the circumferential direction of the member 588, the 60-degree region in which the detection piece 588b is not formed).

The payout control board 633 sets the rotation position of the payout blade 589, which is obtained by rotating the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 by 9 steps from the point B, as the above-mentioned point A again. At this time, the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 at the origin is moved to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 in the payout passage 580a. In the region where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 that rotates integrally with the payout gear member 588 rotates from the point B to the point A, as shown in FIG. 107 (d), a light shielding range (that is, the above-mentioned payout gear member 588). Of the 120-degree region in the circumferential direction of the above, the 60-degree region where the detection piece 588b is formed).

Here, the control of the payout device 580 by the payout control board 633 will be briefly described. The payout control board 633 executes the payout control side power-on time process at the time of power-on of the pachinko machine 1 or at the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after a power failure (a momentary power failure in which a momentary power failure occurs). When the payout control board 633 executes the initial setting process and the interrupt start setting in the payout control side power-on time process, the payout control board 633 repeatedly executes the steady process. The payout control board 633 generates an interrupt every 2 milliseconds (ms) after the interrupt start setting, and executes the payout control side 2 ms interrupt process. The payout control board 633 repeatedly performs various processes such as payout motor control process, history creation process, origin setting process, etc. in the payout control side 2 ms interrupt process.

The payout control board 633 excites the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation having a pulse width of 4 ms by repeatedly executing the payout motor control process. The payout control board 633 repeatedly executes the history creation process to confirm whether or not a detection signal is input from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 every 2 ms. The payout control board 633 of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is based on the detection signals from the blade rotation detection sensor 590 confirmed this time and the previous time, every 4 ms when the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation is excited and switched. The result of confirming whether the detection piece 588b is in the blocking state or the non-blocking state of the optical axis is checked from the lowest bit to the highest bit of the history information having an 8-bit width. After bit shifting toward the bit one by one, the value 0 is set to the lowest bit when the detection piece 588b blocks the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 in both the confirmation results of this time and the previous time. On the other hand, when the confirmation results of this time and the previous time are both in a state where the detection piece 588b does not block the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590, or when the confirmation results of this time and the previous time are different (for example, this time and the previous time). One of the confirmation results is when the detection piece 588b blocks the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590, and the other is the state where the detection piece 588b does not block the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590. If there is), the value 1 is set to the least significant bit.

As described above, in the history creation process, the payout control board 633 updates and creates the history information having an 8-bit width every 4 ms when the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation is excited and switched. The payout control board 633 executes an origin setting process for setting the rotation position of the payout blade 589 to the origin based on the history information updated and created every 4 ms. When the payout control board 633 repeatedly executes the payout motor control process to rotate the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 by 5 steps from the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at the point A, as described above. Since the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is the origin, the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is located in the region of 60 degrees where the above-mentioned detection piece 588b is not formed, and the optical axis of the blade rotation detection sensor 590 is detected. 588b is in a non-blocking state.

Then, in the information from the most significant bit to the least significant bit stored in the history information having an 8-bit width, the detection piece 588b is the blade rotation detection sensor 590 immediately before the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at the point A. Since the optical axis of the above is changed from the blocked state to the non-blocked state (first edge detection state), 000000001B (“B” indicates bit information. The same shall apply hereinafter) is set. .. Then, when the rotation position of the payout blade 589 advances from the point A to the origin, the information from the most significant bit to the least significant bit stored and held in the history information having an 8-bit width is set to 01111111B. In the origin setting process, the payout control board 633 extracts the data from 8 times before to 5 times before as the calculation result by performing the first mask processing on the history information with the first determination value of 11110000B. Later (here, the calculation result becomes 00110,000B by the first mask processing), the second determination value of 00010000B is further processed in the second mask for the extracted data, so that the second mask processing is performed five times before the history information. Data is taken out as a calculation result (here, the calculation result becomes 00010000B by the second mask processing), and when the value is 0, it is determined that the current rotation position of the payout blade 589 is not at the origin, and the payout blade is used. While the current rotation position of the 589 is not set as the origin, if the value is not 0, it is determined that the current rotation position of the payout blade 589 is at the origin and the current rotation position of the payout blade 589 is set as the origin.

In the payout control board 633, when the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is set as the origin in the origin setting process, the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 5 steps from the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at the origin. Then, the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is set to point B, and the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 9 steps from the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at point B (that is, the light-shielding range is exceeded). This process is terminated as it is in a total of 13 steps of rotation in which the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is set to point A again. That is, in the present embodiment, when the payout control board 633 sets the rotation position of the payout blade 589 as the origin in the origin setting process, the time until the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by a total of 13 steps elapses. There is an origin detection prohibition time that prohibits the origin setting for the payout blade 589.

The payout control board 633 excites and switches the payout motor 584 by 2-2 phase excitation every 4 ms by executing the payout motor control process. As shown in FIG. 107, the payout control board 633 rotates the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 by 5 steps from the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at the point A, and the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is the origin. The time is 20 ms (= 4 ms × 5 step rotation), and the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 5 steps from the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at the origin, and the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is set to B. The time to be a point is 16 ms (= 4 ms × 4 step rotation), and the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is rotated by 9 steps from the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is located at the point B (that is, the shading range is set. The time for the rotation position of the payout blade 589 to be the point A again is 36 ms (= 4 ms × 9 step rotation). As described above, the payout of one ball of the game ball B is performed by 18-step rotation of the rotation axis of the payout motor 584. Therefore, the time required for paying out one ball of the game ball B is paid out. By performing 18-step rotation of the rotation shaft of the motor 584, 72 ms (= 4 ms × 18-step rotation) is obtained.

Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine equipped with a payout device that pays out a number of game balls according to the amount of rotation of a payout rotating body that receives and sends out game balls by driving a payout motor has been proposed (for example, special feature). Kai 2004-041261 (paragraph [0052], and FIG. 4)). In the gaming machine of this document, the rotation time of one step of the payout motor is set to 18 mS, and the payout motor is set to rotate 30 degrees by the output of the data drive data for four steps to pay out one game ball. ing. In pachinko machines installed in pachinko parlors, it is inevitable that cigarette tar and dust adhering to the game balls will adhere to the inside of the payout device. Further, since the dispensing device is not disassembled and cleaned, a dispensing device that is strong against tobacco tar and dust is required. By the way, in the gaming machine of this document, the payout motor is set to rotate 30 degrees by driving four steps of the payout motor to pay out one game ball, so that accurate operation can be expected, but the game is played. It can be seen that the contact position between the ball and the payout rotating body is the same every time. For this reason, there is a problem that the position where tobacco tar and dust adhere is fixed and easily deposited.

[4-7-2c. Ball jam prevention and ball dropout prevention]
Next, prevention of ball clogging and prevention of ball omission will be described with reference to FIG. 108. Here, the prevention of ball clogging at the time of ball removal will be described first, and then the prevention of ball removal due to the non-energized state of the payout motor 584 will be described.

As described above, the ball pulling lever 593 can be positioned at the rising end so that the ball pulling movable piece 592 can rotate to the outside of the ball pulling passage 580b, and the ball pulling passage 580b can be opened. You can do it. When the ball is pulled out, the ball pulling lever 593 is raised to make the ball pulling movable piece 592 rotatable. At this time, in a state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is stopped at the origin, as shown in FIG. 108 (a), a part of the passage inner wall forming the payout passage 580a from the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589. A total of four game balls B are parked up to the rib-shaped ball clogging prevention portion 581r, which has a predetermined distance dimension and protrudes toward the ball ejection passage 580b. As for this predetermined distance dimension, the center (center of gravity) position of the game ball B anchored on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r is on the right side of the left end side of the ball jam prevention portion 581r and is on the downstream side (that is, the payout blade 589 exists). It has a length located on the downstream side of the payout passage 580a). As a result, a rib-shaped ball clogging prevention portion in which a part of the inner wall of the passage forming the payout passage 580a is projected from the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 toward the ball ejection passage 580b having a predetermined distance dimension. When a plurality of game balls B are stopped in the payout passage 580a up to 581r, a part of the last game ball B to be stopped is in a state of protruding toward the ball removal passage 580b in the ball clogging prevention portion 581r. That is, the predetermined distance dimension is formed so as to form the side wall of the ball ejection passage 580b when the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) is parked on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r. The game ball B flowing down along the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a described above collides with the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) staying on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r. Even so, the length is such that it can flow down to the ball ejection passage 580b side. In this way, a part of the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) stays on the upper surface of the ball clogging prevention portion 581r in a state of protruding toward the ball removal passage 580b (in other words, ball clogging prevention). The width of the ball-extracting passage 580b is restricted to the width at which one game ball B can flow down. You can do it.

Further, as described above, the ball clogging prevention portion 581r is formed so that the upper surface thereof and the inner wall surface of the passage forming the payout passage 580a are formed in the same plane so as to be a downwardly inclined surface in the rear view.

That is, when the ball is pulled out while the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) is stopped on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r, the game ball B that has flowed down from the upstream of the payout passage 580a. However, even if the ball collides with the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) stopped on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r, the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r is a downwardly inclined surface in the rear view. The center (center of gravity) of the game ball B (that is, the rearmost game ball B) anchored on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r is located on the right side of the left end side of the ball jam prevention portion 581r and on the downstream side. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) stopped on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r from popping due to a collision and flowing down toward the ball ejection passage 580b. You can do it. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B flowing down from the upstream of the payout passage 580a from causing ball clogging in the vicinity of the left end of the ball clogging prevention portion 581r.

As a result, the game ball B (that is, the last game ball B) staying on the upper surface of the ball jam prevention portion 581r is a ball removal path (the ball removal passage 580b along the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a). The flow path of the game ball B on the side) is restricted to the width at which one game ball B can flow down as the width of the ball ejection passage 580b as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 108 (a). This makes it possible to prevent ball clogging. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent ball clogging when the ball is pulled out. In the present embodiment, the width of the ball ejection passage 580b is set to be from the minimum width: 12 mm to the maximum width: 14 mm, although it varies depending on the rotation position of the payout blade 589, and the rotation of the payout blade 589. It is set to 13 mm when the position is stopped at the origin. Incidentally, ball clogging is likely to occur in a place where the width of various passages is narrowed from a place wider than twice the diameter of the game ball (11 mm) to a little narrower than twice the diameter of the game ball (for example, 21 mm).

Next, prevention of ball dropout due to the non-energized state of the payout motor 584 will be described. As shown in FIG. 108 (a), in the state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is stopped at the origin, only one game ball B in the payout passage 580a is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589. At the same time, the game ball B is connected to the game ball B and the succeeding game ball B is in contact with the game ball B, and the ball is stopped at the payout passage 580a. In this state, as described above, the center (center of gravity) of the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 and the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589 are arranged on the same vertical line. Further, as described above, the payout passage 580a extends diagonally downward from the top to a height of about 1/3 of the total height so as to gradually move to the left as it goes downward from the upstream end, and slightly to the right from there. After bending diagonally downward, it bends at about 1/3 of the width of the left and right and extends substantially vertically downward toward the center (rotation axis) of the payout blade 589.

Therefore, the center (center of gravity) position of the game ball B in contact with the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 is the center of the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 (the center of the game ball B). It will be located slightly to the left of the center of gravity) position, and will follow the game ball B accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 in a state where the rotation position of the payout blade 589 is stopped at the origin. Due to the ball pressure due to the weight of the game ball B, a rightward force (that is, a force rotating in the clockwise direction) acts on the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589.

In such a state, when the payout motor 584 is in a non-energized state, it naturally rotates clockwise with respect to the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589, and is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589. The game ball B will flow down (delivered) to the downstream side of the payout passage 580a, resulting in ball omission.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the payout motor 584 is in a non-energized state, the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is the payout blade 589 even if it naturally rotates clockwise with respect to the rotation center axis of the payout blade 589. The shape of the payout passage 580a on the right side of the payout blade 589 is formed in the rear view so that it can be stopped by rotating in 6 steps from the origin.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 108 (b) and 108 (c), when the payout motor 584 is in a non-energized state, the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 6 steps from the origin of the payout blade 589 and stops. The outer circumference of the blade piece 589a having an arc shape of the payout blade 589 and the S1 point where the game ball B abutting on the game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 abuts on the side wall of the payout passage 580a. Of the surface, the ball accommodating portion 589b in which the game ball B is accommodated (that is, the ball accommodating portion 589b in which the game ball B is accommodated, the ball accommodating portion 589b, and the ball accommodating the subsequent game ball B are not accommodated). Of the outer peripheral surface of the blade piece 589a connecting the portion 589b, the S2 point that abuts on the ball accommodating portion 589b side in which the game ball B is accommodated from the center of the outer peripheral surface is leaned against each other. The shape of the payout passage 580a is formed. As a result, a ball pressure that presses the outer peripheral surface of the blade piece 589a of the payout blade 589 can be generated, and the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 can be stopped by rotating 6 steps from the origin of the payout blade 589. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the ball from coming off due to the non-energized state of the payout motor 584.

When the payout control board 633 starts controlling the payout motor 584 in a state where the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 rotates 6 steps from the origin of the payout blade 589 and stops, it rotates 6 steps from the origin of the payout blade 589. Therefore, it is in a state of being rotated by 2 steps in the shading range (9 steps) beyond the point B which is rotated by 4 steps from the origin and advanced as shown in FIG. 107 (d). However, when the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 rotates in 13 steps (the remaining 7 steps rotate + 5 steps from point A because it rotates 2 steps out of 9 steps shown in FIG. 107 (d)), the payout blade 589 rotates. The game ball B housed in the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 flows down (delivered) to the downstream side of the payout passage 580a, and is reliably detected by the payout detection sensor 591. ing. Therefore, even when the rotation axis of the payout motor 584 is deviated from the origin of the payout blade 589 (rotates by 6 steps and advances) and stops, the number of balls to be paid out of the game ball B does not become excessive.

Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the payout control board 633 can be used for pressing the ball lending button 224 of the ball lending operation unit 220 in the dish unit 200, or for a payout command from the main control board of the game board 5. Accordingly, the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is controlled to pay out the instructed number of game balls B to the player side (upper plate 201 or lower plate 202), so that when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or a power failure occurs. At the time of power recovery at the time of power recovery after (a momentary power failure occurs), the payout motor 584 is first controlled so as not to return the rotation position of the payout blade 589 to the origin. This causes an excessive number of balls to be paid out by the game ball B in a state where the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is displaced from the origin of the payout blade 589 (rotates by 6 steps and advances) and stops. This is to prevent this.

[4-7-3. Upper full tank path unit]
The upper full tank path unit 600 in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 103 and 104. The upper full tank path unit 600 is attached from the rear to the lower side of the payout device 580 at the lower part of the rear surface of the left side portion 551e of the back plate of the payout base 551 in the payout base unit 550. The upper full tank path unit 600 is for guiding the game ball B downward from the payout device 580 to the lower full tank path unit 610. The upper full tank path unit 600 is formed in a quadrangle whose front view shape extends vertically.

The upper full tank path unit 600 has a box-shaped upper full tank base 601 attached to the payout base 551 and the rear side is open, and a box shape attached to the rear side of the upper full tank base 601 and the front side is open. The upper full tank cover 602 and the payout device pressing member 603 rotatably attached near the upper end of the upper full tank cover 602 and capable of pressing the payout device 580 upward are provided. The upper full tank base 601 projects to the right from the right side of the front view, and includes a back cover mounting portion 601a for mounting the back cover.

Further, the upper full tank path unit 600 is open upward near the left end of the front view on the upper surface, and extends downward along the left side from the bottom to a position at a height of about 2/3 of the total height. It communicates with the ball receiving passage 600a and the upper payout ball receiving passage 600a, and extends to the right of the front view by about 3/4 of the total width and downwards from the bottom to a height of about 1/6 of the total height. The upper sphere storage passage 600b, the upper normal payout passage 600c extending downward from the left side in the front view from the center of the upper sphere storage passage 600b in the left-right direction and opening downward on the lower surface, and the upper normal payout passage 600c adjacent to the upper normal payout passage 600c. The upper full tank payout passage 600d extending downward from the right side of the front view from the center of the ball storage passage 600b in the left-right direction and opening downward on the lower surface, and the upper full tank payout passage 600d opening upward near the right end of the front view on the upper surface and substantially vertical downward. It is provided with an upper ball-extracting passage 600e, which is open downward near the right end of the lower surface after extending to (see FIG. 110).

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

[4-7-4. Lower full tank path unit]
The lower full tank path unit 610 in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 103 and 104. The lower full tank path unit 610 is mounted on the bottom plate portion 551 g of the payout base 551 in the payout base unit 550, and is attached to the lower part of the upper full tank path unit 600. The lower full tank path unit 610 guides the game ball B discharged downward from the upper full tank path unit 600 to the door frame 3 side or to the substrate unit 620 side. The lower full tank path unit 610 extends in the front-rear direction so that the front end side is low, and the rear end extends upward.

The lower full tank path unit 610 has a lower normal payout passage 610a, a lower full tank payout passage 610b, and a lower ball removal passage 610c, and is a lower full tank base that extends in the front-rear direction and is open upward. The 611, the lower full tank cover 612 attached to the upper side of the lower full tank base 611, and the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower normal payout passage 610a rotatably attached to the front end of the lower full tank base 611 around an axis extending back and forth. A payout passage opening / closing door 613 that can open and close the downstream end opening of the lower full tank payout passage 610b, and a payout passage opening / closing door 613 in the direction of closing the downstream end opening of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full tank payout passage 610b are attached. It is equipped with a closing spring 614, which is in force.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[4-7-5. Flow of game balls in the payout unit]
Subsequently, the flow of the game ball B in the payout unit 560 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. 110. The payout unit 560 is attached to the rear surface of the payout base 551 when assembled on the main body frame 4. In a normal state, the ball ejection lever 593 of the payout device 580 is located at the descending end, and the ball ejection passage 580b branching from the payout passage 580a is closed at the branch portion. Further, in the lower full tank path unit 610, the payout passage opening / closing door 613 is in an open state.

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the lower plate 202 is filled with the game ball B and the game ball B cannot be discharged forward from the lower plate ball supply port 211c, the lower plate B is further discharged. The game ball B is retained and stored in the storage passage 150e of the foul cover unit 150 on the upstream side of the ball supply port 211c. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the movable piece 153 moves and is detected by the full tank detection sensor 154, and the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are filled with the game balls B (the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 are full. The player is informed that the tank is full), and the payout motor 584 of the payout device 580 is temporarily stopped until the full tank detection sensor 154 becomes a non-detection state.

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

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

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

This overflow portion 552f has a length of about 3/4 of the lateral length of the front wall 552b from the end side of the left side wall 552d of the front wall 552b toward the end on the opposite side (right side wall 552e side). It is formed over the span.

In the front view of the tank rail 553, the right end side (upstream side) communicates with the inside of the ball tank 552, and the downstream side extends to one side (left side) in the left-right direction so as to move away from the ball tank 552. .. The tank rail 553 has a gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a that extends from the vicinity of the upstream to the downstream end at the bottom and is formed so that only one game ball B can be distributed in the width direction orthogonal to the distribution direction of the game ball B. Have. The main guide portion 553a is inclined so as to be lower toward the left side of the front view. Further, in the plan view, the main guide portion 553a extends to the left from the right end to a position of about 1/10 of the total length in the left-right direction in parallel with the axis extending in the left-right direction from the right end side. It is formed in a crank shape that extends diagonally from the right end to a position of about 4/10 of the total length in the left-right direction so as to move backward as it goes toward it, and extends parallel to the axis line extending in the left-right direction to the left end. ..

In the tank rail 553, a portion of the main guide portion 553a extending parallel to the axis extending from the left end to the right in the left-right direction extends to the upper end with the same width, and the first rail extends to the upper end of this portion. The upper side is closed by attaching the cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556. Further, the tank rail 553 is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B flows becomes lower toward the downstream end (left end) at the portion where the upper side is closed, and the game ball B is formed at the downstream end. Is formed at a height at which only one can be distributed (a height slightly higher than the outer diameter of the game ball B).

Further, the tank rail 553 has a predetermined length in the left-right direction with respect to the bottom surface of the gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a and the rear wall of the main guide portion 553a in front view at the portion where the upper side is closed (in this embodiment, about Three rectangular notch portions 553aa having (30 mm) are formed with a predetermined interval (about 10 mm in this embodiment). Due to the rectangular notch 553aa, the bottom surface of the main guide portion 553a is added with the thickness of the rear wall (about 2.5 mm in this embodiment) from the rear wall of the main guide portion 553a to the front, and is about 7 mm. A rectangular hole having a length of about 30 mm in the left-right direction is formed, and the thickness of the bottom plate of the main guide portion 553a is formed upward from the bottom surface of the main guide portion 553a on the rear wall of the main guide portion 553a (in the present embodiment). , About 2.5 mm) is added to form a rectangular hole having a height of about 7 mm and a length of about 30 mm in the left-right direction, and these rectangular holes are formed in communication with each other.

In the game ball B flowing from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553, the metal powder is peeled off from the game ball B and falls due to wear such as the game balls B colliding with each other or rubbing against each other. Therefore, when the metal powder generated by the wear of the game ball B adheres to the main guide portion 553a, the flow of the game ball B in the downstream direction is obstructed, so that the game ball B is smoothly moved toward the downstream side. It becomes difficult to supply the game ball B to the payout device 580, and the payout of the game ball B is stopped.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of notched portions 553aa are formed in the main guiding portion 553a so that the metal powder generated by the wear of the game ball B can be removed from the main guiding portion 553a. Thereby, for example, the metal powder generated by the wear of the game ball B naturally falls from the main guide portion 553a to the outside through the notch portion 553aa, so that the metal powder can be removed from the main guide portion 553a. Metal powder generated by the wear of the game ball B adhering to the main guide portion 553a due to the vibration of the game ball B rolling on the main guide portion 553a falls from the main guide portion 553a to the outside through the notch portion 553aa. As a result, the metal powder can be removed from the main guide portion 553a, and a cotton rod is inserted into the cutout portion 553aa by a staff member such as a clerk of the game hall, which is caused by the wear of the game ball B attached to the main guide portion 553a. By performing the work of removing the metal powder, the metal powder can be removed from the main induction portion 553a.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Next, the action and effect of the upper part of the main body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the detour passage 552g have the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g lower at the rear end side as shown by the white arrows in FIG. 121. The left corner portion 501n is inclined so that the rear end right corner is lowered, and the right stage portion 501o is inclined so that the rear end left corner is lowered. Further, the bottom wall 552a and the tank rail 553 (main guide portion 553a) of the ball tank 552 are inclined so that the left end side thereof is lower in the front view. Further, the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is inclined so that the right end side in the direction opposite to the bottom wall 552a is lower.

Then, when the amount of the game ball B stored in the ball tank 552 increases due to being supplied from the island equipment, first of all, it exceeds the overflow portion 552f, which is the lowest height among the upper peripheral edges. It can be discharged to the outside (front) of the ball tank 552, and the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can be released to the overflow surface portion 501 m, and is also discharged from the ball tank 552 to the front overflow surface portion 501 m. The game ball B can be returned to the ball tank 552 by inclining the overflow surface portion 501 m (see FIG. 122). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the game balls B from further increasing in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress the strong pressing of the game balls B against each other (increase in the ball pressure) in the ball tank 552. , It is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called ball shaving) due to the engagement between the game balls B in the ball tank 552.

Further, since the detour passage 552 g is provided, as shown in FIG. 123, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501 m can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B accumulated in the overflow surface portion 501 m from exerting a strong backward pressing force on the game ball B in the ball tank 552, and the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is clogged. Can be prevented. Further, since the game ball B can be sent to the tank rail 553 via the detour passage 552 g, the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m can be prevented from spilling to the outside (rear side) of the main body frame 4. Can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of a problem that the game ball B spilled on the outside of the main body frame 4 is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 cannot be opened or closed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Further, the game ball B returned from the overflow surface portion 501 m to the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side of the ball tank 552 (to the right in FIG. 122) due to the inclination of the guide surface portion 552j. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B on the guide surface portion 552j from pressing the game ball B in the ball tank 552 in the downstream direction, and the game ball B is clogged in the ball tank 552. Can be prevented.

Further, the game ball B supplied from the island equipment to the ball tank 552 bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501 m, and rides on the left stage portion 501n and the right stage portion 501o on the left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501 m. However, as shown in FIG. 122, the game ball B can be guided to the overflow surface portion 501 m and the detour passage 552 g by their inclination, and the game ball B spills on the outside of the main body frame 4, which causes a problem. Can be prevented.

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

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

Further, the ball tank 552 is molded of a conductive resin, whereas the tank rail 555 and the peripheral control board box of the peripheral control unit 1500 described later are molded of a non-conductive resin. In the present embodiment, when the tank rail 553 and the peripheral control board box are charged, they have the same polarity. Therefore, the metal powder of the game ball B adhering to the tank rail 553 has the same polarity as the peripheral control board box. It repels and is not drawn to the peripheral control board box.

[4-12. Configuration of metal powder measures]
Next, an electrical trouble (short circuit) caused by the metal powder of the game ball B that has fallen to the outside from the main guide portion 553a via a plurality of cutout portions 553a formed in the gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a of the tank rail 553. ) Can be avoided with reference to FIG. 125. FIG. 125 is an enlarged view of a part of the cross-sectional view cut along the line CC of FIG. 117 (a), and is a schematic view of the configuration of measures against metal powder. In FIG. 125, the outer shape of the game board 5 is represented by a solid line, and only the portion of the game board 5 necessary for explanation is shown as a cross-sectional view.

When the metal powder (foreign matter) of the game ball B falling from the notches 553a formed in the gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a of the tank rail 553 adheres to the peripheral control unit 1500 arranged below the tank rail 553, An electrical trouble may occur and the peripheral control unit 1500 may malfunction or malfunction. For example, the peripheral control board 1510 of the peripheral control unit 1500 is provided with an IC such as a peripheral control IC, ROM, and SDRAM described later, and the peripheral data ROM board described later is provided with an IC such as a peripheral data ROM. As the pin spacing of these ICs becomes smaller, the pin spacing of various connectors and special connectors provided in the peripheral control board 1510 becomes narrower, and the number of connectors on the peripheral control board 1510 increases, so that the spacing of various connectors becomes narrower. As the distance between the connector and the special connector is narrowed, it is necessary to take measures against electrical troubles caused by foreign matter falling from the tank rail.

First, as shown in FIG. 125, a plurality of cutout portions 553aa formed in the gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a of the tank rail 553 are on the rear side of the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 (the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000). Compared to the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear surface, the deviation toward the rear (in this embodiment, about half the diameter of the game ball B). It is arranged so that it is offset by the distance dimension of.

As described above, the cross-sectional shape of the top plate portion 551a of the payout base 551 on which the tank rail 551 is arranged is from the front side to the rear side of the top plate portion 551a (from the front to the rear of the top plate portion 551a). It is formed in a staircase shape that bends downward in accordance with the direction). The upper back plate 551d extends downward from the rear side of the top plate portion 551a to the same position as the lower side of the right side plate portion 551c. When the tank rail 553 is attached to the top plate portion 551a, the bent top plate portion 551a is arranged below the tank rail 553, and the rear surface of the tank rail 553 and the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d are substantially on the same surface. It is designed to be placed. Further, when the back cover 640 is assembled on the main body frame 4, as described above, the front surface of the contact portion 640a formed on the back cover 640 comes into contact with the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d of the payout base 551. The contacted portion is covered with a convex portion 551da formed so as to project rearward on the rear surface of the upper portion 551d of the back plate.

As a result, the metal powder of the game ball B that has fallen to the outside from the main guide portion 553a via the notch portion 553a may be received and adhered by the top plate portion 551a or received and adhered by the convex portion 551da. You can do it. Further, the contacted portion where the front surface of the contact portion 640a formed on the back cover 640 and the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d of the payout base 551 are in surface contact is projected rearward on the rear surface of the back plate upper portion 551d. Since it is covered by the formed convex portion 551da, the metal powder of the game ball B that has fallen to the outside from the main guide portion 553a via the notch portion 553a abuts on the game panel 1100 of the game board 5. To prevent the peripheral control unit 1500 from falling toward the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 attached to the rear side (the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear surface of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000). It has become.

As described above, the top plate portion 551a and the back plate upper portion 551d of the payout base 551 are the metal of the game ball B that has fallen to the outside from the main guide portion 553a via the notch portions 553aa formed in the main guide portion 553a. Prevents powder from falling toward the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 (the rear side of the effect display device 1600 attached to the rear surface of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000). It is functioning as an eaves that can be used. Therefore, it is possible to prevent electrical troubles caused by the metal powder of the game ball B from the tank rail 553.

Further, in the present embodiment, a plurality of cutout portions 553aa formed in the gutter-shaped main guide portion 553a of the tank rail 553 and the rear side of the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 (on the rear surface of the back box 3010 of the back unit 3000). The cover body 1501 of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the attached effect display device 1600 (rear side) is misaligned (in this embodiment, the distance dimension is about half the diameter of the game ball B). Due to the arrangement (that is, the structure is such that the peripheral control unit 1500 is not arranged directly under the notch 553aa), electrical troubles due to the metal powder of the game ball B from the tank rail 553. It is effective as a countermeasure against metal powder that can prevent.

Further, a plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 are provided on the rear surface (cover flat plate described later) of the cover body 1501, whereas the upper side and the left side of the cover body 1501 (cover flat plate described later). Since it is not provided on each cover side wall provided on the lower side and the right side, the metal powder of the game ball B temporarily adheres to the upper side wall of the cover body 1501 (the cover side wall formed on the upper side of the cover flat plate described later). However, it is possible to make it difficult to invade the inside of the cover body 1501.

Further, the cover body 1501 in the peripheral control unit 1500 is formed with a square-shaped FAN mounting recess described later having a square shape for mounting the air-cooled fan FAN on the center side thereof, and is formed on a plurality of concentric circles on the bottom surface of the FAN mounting recess. A plurality of arc-shaped slit holes, which will be described later, are formed along the line. Further, the cover body 1501 has seven connectors to be described later provided on the peripheral control board 1510 attached to the inside of the cover body 1501 along the lower side thereof, and seven connector holes and seven connector holes at positions corresponding to the volume control switch. A volume adjustment hole is formed, and two connector holes are formed at positions corresponding to the two connectors provided on the liquid crystal output board described later. When the peripheral control board 1510 is attached to the inside of the cover body 1501, a gap is formed between the seven connectors provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and the seven connector holes formed in the cover body 1501. The seven connectors provided on the peripheral control board 1510 are exposed from the seven connector holes, and a gap is formed between the volume control switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510 and the volume control hole formed on the cover body 1501. The volume control switch provided on the peripheral control board 1510 is exposed from this volume control hole. Further, in a state where the liquid crystal output board described later is attached to the inside of the cover body 1501, a gap is formed between the two connectors provided in the liquid crystal output board and the two connector holes formed in the cover body 1501. The two connectors provided on the liquid crystal output board are exposed from these two connector holes.

When the wings of the air-cooled fan FAN attached to the peripheral control unit 1500 rotate, the rotation causes the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 to be ejected to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 to control the peripherals. A plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 from the outside of the unit 1500, and a plurality of ventilation holes 1540az formed in the shield plate 1540 accommodated in the space between the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502. , The gaps formed in the above-mentioned gaps (seven connectors provided in the peripheral control board 1510 and the seven connector holes formed in the cover body 1501), the volume adjustment switch provided in the peripheral control board 1510, and the cover. Through the volume control hole formed in the body 1501, the gap formed in, and the gap formed in the two connectors provided in the liquid crystal output board and the two connector holes formed in the cover body 1501). , Will be taken in.

The area (total area) of the plurality of arc-shaped slit holes formed in the bottom surface of the FAN mounting recess of the cover body 1501 is the area in the ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 and described above. Gap (seven connectors provided in the peripheral control board 1510, seven connector holes formed in the cover body 1501, gap formed in, volume control switch provided in the peripheral control board 1510, and formed in the cover body 1501. From the sum of the volume adjustment hole, the gap formed in, the two connectors provided in the liquid crystal output board, the two connector holes formed in the cover body 1501, and the area in the gap formed in). It's getting smaller. Therefore, when the wing portion of the air-cooled fan FAN attached to the peripheral control unit 1500 rotates, the air in the inner space of the cover body 1501 is ejected to the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500 through the wing portion by this rotation. , A plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 from the outside of the peripheral control unit 1500, and a plurality of ventilation holes 1540az formed in the shield plate 1540 accommodated in the space between the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502. It is possible to keep the flow velocity of the air flowing into each of the plurality of ventilation holes 1501az formed in the cover body 1501 small when the air is taken in. As a result, it is possible to prevent heavy powder called metal powder of the game ball B from invading the inner space of the cover body 1501 through the ventilation hole 1501az under the influence of the air flow.

Incidentally, when the wing portion of the air-cooled fan FAN of the peripheral control unit 1500 rotates, this rotation causes the air outside the peripheral control unit 1500 to be sucked toward the inner space of the cover body 1501 through the wing portion. Since the air flow velocity increases due to the rotation of the wings of the game ball B, it is highly probable that heavy powder called metal powder of the game ball B will be sucked into the inner space of the cover body 1501 under the influence of the air flow. Due to electrical troubles (short circuits) caused by metal powder, defects (failures) occur in various electronic components provided in various substrates such as the peripheral data ROM substrate 1520 mounted inside the cover body 1501 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530. Become.

Therefore, in order to prevent such an electrical trouble (short circuit), by forming a protruding portion along the upper side of the cover body 1501 in the peripheral control unit 1500, a heavy powder called a metal powder of the game ball B is air-cooled. It can be configured to have a function as an eaves to prevent being sucked into the fan FAN, and by forming a protruding portion along the vicinity of the upper side of the FAN mounting recess formed in the cover body 1501, a game ball. It can be configured to have a function as an eaves to prevent heavy powder called metal powder of B from being sucked into the air-cooled fan FAN, and the air-cooled fan FAN has a thin distance dimension (thickness) in the depth direction. (That is, select one that has a shorter distance dimension (thickness) in the depth direction of the air-cooled fan FAN than the distance dimension in the depth direction of the FAN mounting recess) and form it on the cover body 1501. When the air-cooled fan FAN is housed in the FAN mounting recess, the inner wall of the FAN mounting recess is configured to have a function as an eaves to prevent heavy powder called metal powder of the game ball B from being sucked into the air-cooled fan FAN. can do.

The upper rear right unit 3230 can raise and lower the upper rear right decorative body 3240 via the rack gear 3233 by driving the upper rear right drive motor 3234.

The clutch mechanism 3250 has a tubular accommodating case 3251 and a plurality of protruding portions 3252a radially extending to the vicinity of the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 in the accommodating case 3251, and has an upper rear left drive motor 3214 or an upper portion. An input member 3252 to which the rotation shaft of the rear right drive motor 3234 is attached, and a plurality of transmission grooves 3253a inserted in the accommodating case 3251 with a protrusion 3252a of the input member 3252 having a circumferential gap. A plurality of cam surfaces 3253b formed so that the distance from the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 becomes narrower as it approaches the projecting portion 3252a of the input member 3252, and the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 projecting from the accommodating case 3251. An output member 3253 having an output shaft 3253c to which the output member 3253 is attached, a plurality of rollers 3254 inserted between a plurality of cam surfaces 3253b of the output member 3253 and an inner surface of the accommodating case 3251, and an accommodating case 3251. It has a tightening spring 3255 that is tightened from the outside, and a storage recess 3256a that houses the storage case 3251 and the tightening spring 3255. It is provided with a lid member 3257 that closes the accommodating recess 3256a of the 3256 and through which the output shaft 3253c of the output member 3253 penetrates, and a bearing 3258 that is attached to the lid member 3257 and through which the output shaft 3253c is inserted. (See FIGS. 145 (a) to 145 (c)).

In the clutch mechanism 3250, when the input member 3252 is rotated by the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234, the plurality of protruding portions 3252a of the input member 3252 become the circumferential ends of the transmission groove 3253a of the output member 3253. The abutment causes the output member 3253 to rotate, and the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 attached to the output shaft 3253c of the output member 3253 rotates. That is, the clutch mechanism 3250 can directly transmit the rotation from the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234 to the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 side.

Further, when the clutch mechanism 3250 rotates the output member 3253 from the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 side via the output shaft 3253c, the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 moves in the direction of the protruding portion 3252a of the input member 3252. Therefore, the space between the cam surface 3253b and the inner surface of the storage case 3251 becomes narrow, and the roller 3254 is bitten between them. As a result, the rotation of the output member 3253 is blocked, the rotation of the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 is locked, and the rotation from the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 side is rearward via the input member 3252. It is not transmitted to the left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side. Therefore, even if a force for moving the upper rear left decorative body 3220 or the upper rear right decorative body 3240 acts downward due to gravity, the clutch mechanism 3250 causes the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 via the output member 3253. Since the rotation is locked, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 do not move downward without permission, and a load is applied to the upper rear left drive motor 3214 or the upper rear right drive motor 3234. The upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be left stopped at an arbitrary position.

In the clutch mechanism 3250 of the present embodiment, the accommodating case 3251 is tightened from the outer peripheral side by a tightening spring 3255 made of a coil spring, and the tightening spring 3255 and the accommodating case 3251 are accommodated in the accommodating recess 3256a of the main body housing 3256. Therefore, when the rotational load (torque) applied to the output member 3253 from the drive gear 3215 or the drive gear 3235 side via the output shaft 3253c becomes larger than a predetermined value, the tightening force (urging force) of the tightening spring 3255 is increased. ), The accommodation case 3251 rotates, the circumferential end of the transmission groove 3253a of the output member 3253 abuts on the protruding portion 3252a of the input member 3252, and the rotation is transmitted to the input member 3252. As a result, when the output member 3253 is to be rotated with a strong force from the output side, slippage occurs between the tightening spring 3255 tightening the accommodation case 3251 and the accommodation case 3251, and the rotational force is applied to the upper rear left. Since it can be transmitted to the drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side and escaped, the roller 3254 may be strongly bitten and the lock cannot be released, or the output member 3253 and the accommodating case 3251 may be damaged. Can be prevented from doing so.

Further, as shown in FIG. 145 (d), the clutch mechanism 3250 inserts two rollers 3254 between the protrusions 3252a between the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b, and also inserts the two rollers 3254. May be configured to urge each of the protrusions 3252a close to each other by a lock spring 3260. As a result, when a force for rotating the output member 3253 is applied from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side, the roller 3254 is immediately moved to the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 and the accommodation case 3251. It can be engaged between the inner surface and the rotation (rotation angle) of the output member 3253 from the action of rotation from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side until the lock is applied. It can be reduced as much as possible.

Next, an effect using the upper rear movable effect unit 3200 will be described. Under normal conditions, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200 is located above the effect display device 1600 and behind the upper front movable effect unit 3300, as shown in FIG. 130 and the like. The upper rear right decorative body 3240 is invisible from the player side. In this normal state, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 are not driven, respectively, but as described above, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 , The rotation of the drive gear 3215 and the drive gear 3235 is locked via the output member 3253 by the clutch mechanism 3250 interposed between the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, and the upper part The rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 do not move downward without permission.

As a result, in order to prevent the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 from moving downward, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 are continuously driven or moved downward. It is not necessary to provide an electric lock mechanism for preventing the pachinko machine 1, and the configuration of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. Further, since the presence of the clutch mechanism 3250 can prevent the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 from moving without permission, the game board 5 can be transported or attached to the island equipment of the game hall. Even if vibration or acceleration acts in such a case, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 remain in the state of the origin at the time of shipment, and there is no need to perform unnecessary origin adjustment. It is possible to reduce the time and effort required to install the game board 5, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side.

In this normal state, the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear left drive motor 3214 according to the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004. When the upper rear right drive motor 3234 is driven, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 move diagonally downward toward the center via the clutch mechanism 3250, respectively, and the upper rear left decorative body 3220. The right end of the upper rear right ornament 3240 abuts to form one large ornament (see FIG. 143). As a result, a large decorative body extending to the left and right appears on the upper part of the front surface of the staging display device 1600, so that the player can be surprised, the player can be entertained, and the deterioration of the interest can be suppressed.

As described above, according to the upper rear movable effect unit 3200 of the present embodiment, the upper rear left drive motor 3214, the upper rear right drive motor 3234, the left slider 3212, and the right slider 3232 (upper rear left decorative body 3220 and upper rear right). Since the clutch mechanism 3250 is provided between the decorative body 3240), vibration from the effect operation unit 301 and other movable decorative bodies that can be operated by the player, the left slider 3212, the right slider 3232, and the upper part are provided. Even if the output member 3253 on the output side of the clutch mechanism 3250 tries to rotate due to the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 trying to descend due to gravity acting on the rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, the output is output. The roller 3254 is pressed against the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 by the cam surface 3253b of the member 3253, and the roller 3254 is engaged between the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b. The transmission of rotation from the left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side) to the upper rear left drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side is cut off and the rotation of the output member 3253 is locked. Therefore, it is possible to restrict the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 from descending arbitrarily, and the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are unexpected via the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232. It is possible to prevent the player from moving (falling), and to prevent the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 from giving a distrust to the player due to unintended movement. It is possible to entertain the player with the movements of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 and suppress the deterioration of the interest.

Further, as described above, even if the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side try to descend, the rotation of the output member 3253 can be restricted and locked by the clutch mechanism 3250. Since the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 can be stopped at any height position via the right slider 3232, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are various. It is possible to show the player a variety of staging patterns that stop ascending and descending at the position, making it difficult for the player to get bored with the movable staging of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, and suppressing the decline in interest. Can be made to.

Further, since the clutch mechanism 3250 is provided, even if the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are stopped at arbitrary positions in the vertical direction via the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232, the upper rear left decorative body 3240 is provided. The drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 can be prevented from being loaded, and the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 can be prevented from being damaged at an early stage due to an overload, and the upper portion can be prevented from being damaged. It is possible to avoid interruption of the game due to damage to the rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234, prevent the player from being uncomfortable, and suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game. be able to.

Further, as shown in FIG. 145 (d), two rollers 3254 are inserted between the protrusions 3252a between the inner surface of the accommodation case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b, and the two rollers 3254 are each connected by the lock spring 3260. When the protrusions 3252a close to each are urged, the rollers 3254 are immediately applied when a force for rotating the output member 3253 is applied from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side. Can be engaged between the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 and the inner surface of the storage case 3251, and the lock is released after rotation from the upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 side acts. The rotation of the output member 3253 up to this point can be reduced as much as possible. As a result, when the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 are moved downward by the upper rear left drive motor 3214 and the upper rear right drive motor 3234, the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 are smoothly lowered without jerking. Therefore, the player does not feel uncomfortable with the movement of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, and enjoys the movable effect by the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240. It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game.

Further, by moving the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 downward to bring the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 into contact with each other, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear left decorative body 3240 and the upper rear left decorative body 3240 are brought into contact with each other. Since the upper rear right decorative bodies 3240 can be combined to form a large decorative body, the appearance of the large decorative body by combining them can give a strong impact to the player and entertain the player. At the same time, it is possible to make the player think that an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit game") in which the player is advantageous to the player due to the appearance of a large decorative body may occur, and the expectation for the game. It is possible to enhance the feeling and suppress the decline in interest. When the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are in contact with each other and united, they try to move the upper rear right decorative body 3240 or the upper rear left decorative body 3220 on the other side by contacting each other. However, since each of them is equipped with a clutch mechanism 3250, a force for moving the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 (rotating from the output side). Even if a force) is applied, the roller 3254 is engaged between the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 and the inner surface of the storage case 3251 to lock the movement of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240. It is possible to prevent the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 from moving due to contact with each other, and the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body due to the reaction of the contact. It is also possible to prevent the 3240 from returning, and it is possible to surely entertain the player with a movable effect in which the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are in contact with each other and unite, and suppress the deterioration of the interest. ..

Further, in the clutch mechanism 3250, the accommodating case 3251 is tightened by the tightening spring 3255, and the tightening spring 3255 and the accommodating case 3251 are accommodated in the accommodating recess 3256a of the main body housing 3256, so that the output member is output from the output side. The 3253 is rotated and the roller 3254 is pressed against the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 by the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253 so that the roller 3254 is engaged between the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253. Therefore, when a force for rotating the accommodation case 3251 acts via a plurality of rollers 3254, the force (torque) for rotating the accommodation case 3251 is the frictional resistance due to the tightening force of the tightening spring 3255. If it is larger than, slippage occurs between the storage case 3251 and the tightening spring 3255, and the storage case 3251 rotates. Then, as the housing case 3251 rotates, the output member 3253 rotates via the plurality of rollers 3254, and the circumferential end portion of the transmission groove 3253a of the output member 3253 comes into contact with the protruding portion 3252a of the input member 3252.

A gap is formed between the front surface (upper surface) of the socket of the connector SCN4 and the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501.

Here, the reason why the special connector SCN3 is adopted for the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the special connector SCN4 is adopted for the liquid crystal output board 1530 will be briefly described. The peripheral data ROM board 1520 includes a peripheral data ROM 1520a that can store various control information (peripheral data) that is the control target of the peripheral control board 1510. As various control information (peripheral data), image data such as a background image, a character image, a pattern image, etc. for drawing various effect images on the effect display device 1600, and various decorative boards provided in the door frame 3 and the game board 5.

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

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

The procedure for mounting various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the peripheral data ROM board 1520 inserts the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided therein into the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided in the peripheral control board 1510. Since it is necessary to fix the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510, the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism is adopted. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when the peripheral data ROM board 1520 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510, a plurality of connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket are formed. It is possible to reliably form a transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 by preventing the damage of the peripheral control board 1510.

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

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

The procedure for mounting various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the liquid crystal output board 1530 inserts the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided in itself into the plug of the special connector SCN2 provided in the peripheral control board 1510. Since it is necessary to fix the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510 after pushing in, the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with the above-mentioned floating mechanism is adopted. By absorbing the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when the liquid crystal output board 1530 is fixed to the back surface side of the cover flat plate 1501a together with the peripheral control board 1510, the connection terminals formed on the plug and the socket are connected.

Therefore, static electricity tends to accumulate in and around the area where the ball tank 552 and the payout unit 560 in which the game ball B can be retained are mounted.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the frame grounding substrate 559 is arranged in the vicinity of the ball tank 552 and the payout unit 560 where static electricity tends to accumulate, and as a result of the easy accumulation of static electricity, the ball tank 552 and the payout unit are strongly affected by electromagnetic noise. In contrast to the metal main body frame reinforcing frame 530 in the main body frame base unit 500 of the main body frame 4 which is in the vicinity of the unit 560, in the frame grounding board 559, the ground terminal ECN3 as a ball tank ground and the main body frame metal The ground terminal ECN4 as the ground and the ground terminal ECN2 as the ground are used to suppress the instantaneous discharge of high voltage by gradually flowing and attenuating the electromagnetic noise through the resistors ER1 and ER2, respectively. It is possible to lead to the ground of the island equipment of the game hall via the ground wire. In other words, the electromagnetic wave noise that has entered from the ball tank 552 or the payout unit 560, where static electricity tends to accumulate, is used as the frame ground called the frame ground from the frame ground board 559 via the ball tank 552 or the metal body frame reinforcement frame 530. By guiding to the ground of the island equipment of the game hall, the electromagnetic noise invading from the ball tank 552 and the payout unit 560 can be sent to the ground of the island equipment of the game hall and removed.

On the other hand, when electromagnetic noise enters the metal shield plate 1540 housed in the peripheral control board box 1505 shown in FIG. 148, the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 It invades the ground (GND) line, flows into the ground (GND) line of the power supply board 630, and from the ground connection terminal of the power supply board 630 to the ground terminal ECN5 as the power supply ground in the frame ground board 559 via the power supply ground wire.

The electromagnetic noise that has entered from the 1501 and the base body 1502 can be removed by flowing it to the ground of the island equipment of the game hall.

In the present embodiment, among the ground terminals ECN1 to ECN5, the ground terminal ECN3 as the ball tank ground and the ground terminal ECN4 as the main body frame metal ground are in a region strongly affected by electromagnetic noise as described above. Since it corresponds to (around it), a large ground terminal is adopted, and as described above, the ground terminal ECN2 as the island equipment ground collects electromagnetic noise flowing into the frame ground board 559 in the game hall. A large ground terminal is used because it is guided to the ground of the island facility and removed. The ground terminals ECN2 to ECN4 that employ this large ground terminal are squares with a cross-sectional shape of 1.14 mm on each side, and have a rated current of 7A (when using AC / DC, AWG # 18) and a rated voltage: It has a general specification of 250V (AC / DC) and applicable current range: AWG # 22 to # 18, and its height is 13.4 mm as shown in FIG. 154 (a) (earth terminal ECN2 to). When the housing corresponding to the ECN4 is inserted, the mounting height becomes 18.6 mm).

On the other hand, the electromagnetic noise flowing into the ground terminal ECN1 as the interface ground and the ground terminal ECN5 as the power supply ground is smaller than the above-mentioned ground terminals ECN2 to ECN4, and the current is small. As for the ground terminals ECN1 and ECN5, small ground terminals are adopted.

Compared to the configuration that leads to the ground and removes it, the wiring of the ground wire (wiring) becomes extremely easy.

Further, since the external terminal board 558 and the frame ground board 559 are configured to be arranged in the board accommodating portion 551aa of the payout base 551 in a state of being close to each other, a plurality of electric wires connected to the external terminal board 558 are connected. Terminals 558a (A plurality of external terminals (in this embodiment, the payout base unit 550 is provided with 10 external terminals, XCN1 to XCN10, which are arranged in a row from the left side to the right side when viewed from the back).) ) And the hall computer provided in the game hall, respectively, with wiring, the ground terminal ECN2 as the island equipment ground on the frame ground board 559, and the ground connection terminal provided in the island equipment in the game hall. , Can be performed as a series of work, such as electrically connecting the island equipment ground wire (wiring), which can contribute to the improvement of workability.

Various control boards (for example, the main control board 1310 of the main control unit 1300 that controls the progress of the game) provided with the island equipment ground wire (wiring) that electrically connects the provided ground connection terminal to the game board 5. Since it can be arranged so as to be separated from the peripheral control board 1510 capable of controlling the progress of the peripheral data, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 electrically connected to the peripheral control board 1510, the liquid crystal output board 1530, etc.), various control boards It is possible to eliminate adverse effects on the electronic components (including the connector) provided in the above.

It can be removed by guiding it to the ground of the island equipment in the game hall via the ground wire.

Incidentally, as previously disclosed in, each ground is once integrated on the power supply board arranged on the CR unit side at the bottom of the main body frame so that the power supply AC24V of the CR unit can be easily supplied, and the grounds are once integrated via the power supply board. A gaming machine that is connected to the ground of the island equipment and grounded has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-120593 (paragraph [0335], FIG. 84, FIG. 85)). Since the power supply board is generally heavy, it is often placed below in the gaming machine. Therefore, in order to consolidate the ground on the power supply board, it is necessary to route the ground wire from the ball tank on the upper part of the gaming machine, the prize ball device, or the like toward the lower power supply board. By routing the ground wire in this way, electromagnetic noise may be transmitted to various control boards existing in the middle and have an unexpected effect. In addition, since the ground wire is concentrated on the power supply board, if any problem occurs on the power supply board, the ground may be affected, or conversely, current may flow through the ground wire, which may affect the operation of the power supply board. there were. In addition, when the grounding point of the island equipment is above the gaming machine, it may be complicated because it is necessary to route the ground wire collected by the power supply board from the bottom to the top again.

The other end of the resistor R24 and the other end of the capacitor C22 are electrically connected to the other end on the opposite side of the resistor R25, one end of which is electrically connected to the gate terminal of the FET Q5. In addition to the other end of the resistor R25, the other end of the resistor R24 and the other end of the capacitor C22 are electrically connected to the FUSE-GATE terminal of the above.

In the power supply destruction circuit 630g, when the gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit is input from the FUSE-GATE terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f to the gate terminal of the FET Q5 via the resistor R25, the FET Q5 operates and the source terminal is connected to the drain terminal of the FET Q5. When a large current flows toward (the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 become overcurrent), the FET Q5 is destroyed, and the short mode state in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 are conductive is maintained. Will be done. Although the FET Q5 has the same type of package as the packages of the FET Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 (TO-220F described above), the FET Q1 , Q2, Q3, Q4, and unlike the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, and D10, they are arranged at positions where they do not come into contact with the heat radiation fins HS1 and HS2. Specifically, the FET Q5 is arranged while the heat radiation fins HS1 and HS2 are arranged, and is not fixed to the heat radiation fins HS1 and HS2 at all (see FIGS. 156 and 157). The purpose of this is to absorb and cool the heat through the heat radiation fins HS1 and HS2 so that the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 are not destroyed by heat generation. On the other hand, the FET Q5 is short due to heat generation when the FET Q5 operates and a large current flows from the drain terminal of the FET Q5 toward the source terminal (the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 become overcurrent). This is to contribute to being destroyed in time.

That is, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, and is mistakenly plugged into the power outlet of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. When plugged in, the power supply creation circuit 630f is based on a power supply voltage in which common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 input to the AC-DET terminal, and the magnitude of this power supply voltage is a predetermined value (threshold value). : In the present embodiment, it is set to about 50V.) When the voltage reaches about 50V, the gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit is output to the power supply destruction circuit 630g to control the FET Q5 to self-destruct. As a result, the short mode state in which the drain terminal and the source terminal of the FET Q5 are conductive is maintained, and the source terminal of the FET Q5 is electrically connected to the CGND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f, so that the power switch 630a is operated. When the ON operation is performed, the current passing through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 is in the short mode state in the noise suppression circuit 630b, the rectifier circuit 630c, and the power supply destruction circuit 630g via the FET Q5 of the power supply creation circuit 630f. By flowing toward the CGND terminal at once, a large current flows through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, and one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are blown, only the power supply board 630 is destroyed, and the plug of the power supply cord is commercialized. Even if it is accidentally inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the power supply voltage, it is possible to surely prevent each board inside the pachinko machine 1 except the power supply board 630 from being destroyed.

In addition, the plug of the power cord was not inserted into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, and was mistakenly inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. When the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is inserted and destroyed, replace the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 with unblown ones, and replace the power cord plug with the AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall. Even if it is plugged into the power outlet of the power supply, the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is already destroyed and the short mode is maintained. Then, a large current flows toward the CGND terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f via the FET Q5 which is in the short mode state in the power supply destruction circuit 630g, so that a large current flows through the replaced fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 and the fuse. One or both of FUSE1 and FUSE2 will be blown again. That is, unless the power supply board 630 in which the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630 g is already destroyed is replaced with a normal power supply board 630 in which the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630 g is not destroyed, the plug of the power cord is used in the island facility of the game hall. Even if it is plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine, the game cannot be started.

On the other hand, the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off (including the case where the power of the pachinko machines installed in the game hall is cut off all at once by turning off the breaker of the game hall), and a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs. Then, the DC + 5V from the power supply line (that is, the + 5V power supply line) supplied from the + 5V terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f is not supplied to the capacitor BC0. In response to this, the capacitor BC0 starts discharging. This discharge is provided in the main control board 1310 as the main VBB, while the shotkey barrier diode D20 prevents the supply to the power supply line (that is, the + 5V power supply line) supplied from the + 5V terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f.

[9-2. How to identify electronic components that have the same shape]
Next, a method for identifying electronic components having the same shape mounted on the power supply board 630 will be described. As described above, the electronic components having the same shape mounted on the power supply board 630 include the FETs Q1 and Q2 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifying circuit 630c, and the FETs Q3 and Q4 and the Schottky of the power factor improving circuit 630d. The type of package in the barrier diodes D9 and D10 and the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630 g is the same type (TO-220F), and the shapes of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are also the same shape (diameter: 5 mm, length). S: 20 mm transparent glass tube (support terminals at both ends are made of metal).

Although the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 are completely different types of electronic components, the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9 and D10 are electronic components that are not destroyed, and FETQ5 is the only electronic component that is destroyed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, among the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q5 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, and D10, which are the only electronic components having the same shape mounted on the power supply board 630, the only electrons to be destroyed are destroyed. In order to make it easy to identify the components, the silk printing printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630 has characteristics different from those of the others.

Specifically, the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10, which are electronic components that are not destroyed, have a white outer shape as shown in FIG. 158 (a). The line and the thick white line indicating the direction in which the electronic components are arranged are used as silk printing for the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, and D10, and for the silk printing TSLK1 to 4, FET Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. TSLKs 5 to 8 are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. The thick white wire is on the side fixed to the heat radiation fins HS1 and HS2. In FIG. 156, the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 need to be arranged adjacent to each other in order to be fixed to the heat radiation fins HS1 and HS2. It is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630 so that the silk printing of the white outline on which the HS2 is arranged and the thick white line portion of the silk printing TSLK1 to 8 are connected to each other.

On the other hand, for FETQ5, which is the only electronic component to be destroyed, as shown in FIG. 158 (b), a white outline and a plurality of white diagonal lines arranged at equal intervals within the outline. The ad1 and the thick white line indicating the orientation of the electronic components are silk-printed, and the silk-printed TSLK9 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. That is, the white diagonal line ad1 is represented as a characteristic pattern.

As described above, even if the FET Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and the Schottky barrier diode D1, D2, D9, D10 are electronic components having the same shape, silk printing printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. By visually observing the white diagonal line ad1 represented as a characteristic pattern among TSLK1 to 9, which of the different types of electronic components having the same shape is closely watched as compared with other electronic components. It is possible to identify whether it is an electronic component that should be used. This makes it possible to very easily identify which of the different types of electronic components having the same shape is the only electronic component to be destroyed.

Further, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs the staff such as the clerk of the game hall to instruct the FETQ5 by telephone, the silk-printed TSLK9 having the white diagonal line ad1 represented as a characteristic pattern. By instructing to search for, the staff of the game hall, etc. can accurately grasp the position of the FETQ5, so that it is easy to communicate between the staff of the service center and the staff of the game hall, etc. Become.

As a result, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs the staff of the game hall, etc. to FETQ5 by telephone, the staff of the game hall, etc., follow the instructions of the person in charge of the service center. In addition, among a plurality of electronic components mounted on the power supply board 630, a remarkable FET Q5 can be specified. Therefore, among the plurality of electronic components, the notable FET Q5 can be identified from the other electronic components, FET Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and the Schottky barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10.

As described above, the FETs Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 and the shot key barrier diodes D1, D2, D9, D10 are completely different electronic components, whereas the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are the same. Although it is a kind of electronic component, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall, and AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. If it is accidentally plugged into the power outlet of, as described above, the FET Q5 of the power supply destruction circuit 630g is self-destructed and the short mode is maintained, a large current flows through the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, and one or both of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2. Fuse. That is, as a trace that the plug of the power cord is mistakenly inserted into the power outlet of AC100V which is the commercial power supply voltage, it becomes an electronic component in which one or both of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and then the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are destroyed after the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2 and FUSE3. There is. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630 so as to easily identify the electronic component to be destroyed as the electronic component having the same shape mounted on the power supply board 630. The silk printing that is done is adopted that has different characteristics from others.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 159 (a), the fuse FUSE3, which is an electronic component that is not destroyed even if the plug of the power cord is accidentally inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, is white. The outline of the above is silk printing, and the silk printing FSLK1 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630.

On the other hand, the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, which are electronic components that are destroyed as traces of the plug of the power cord being accidentally inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, are shown in FIG. 159 (b). As described above, the white outline and the region ad2 in which the inside of the outline is solidly painted in white are printed as silk printing, and the silk printing FSLK2 and 3 are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. That is, the region ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. At both ends of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3, support brackets (not shown) are soldered to the power supply board 630, but the inner region of the white outline and the region around the support bracket are solidly painted white. The area ad2 can be visually recognized, and the area ad2 solidly painted in white corresponding to the transparent glass tube excluding both ends of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, which is the inner area of the white outline, is transparent. It can be reliably seen through a simple glass tube.

As described above, even if the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are electronic components having the same shape, the white color represented as a characteristic pattern among the silk-printed FSLK1 to 3 printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. By visually observing the solid-painted area ad2, it is possible to identify which electronic component has the same shape and which should be watched as compared with other electronic components. It has become. This makes it extremely easy to determine which electronic component of the same type that has the same shape is an electronic component that shows a trace that the plug of the power cord is accidentally inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage. It is possible to specify to.

In addition, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs the staff such as the clerk of the game hall to instruct the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 by telephone, the area painted in solid white, which is represented as a characteristic pattern. By instructing to search for silk-printed FSLK2 and 3 having ad2, the staff of the game hall can accurately grasp the positions of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2. It becomes easier to communicate with the staff such as the clerk.

As a result, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the pachinko machine 1 instructs the staff of the game hall such as Hughes FUSE1 and FUSE2 by telephone, the staff of the game hall such as the staff of the service center is the person in charge of the service center. Of the plurality of electronic components mounted on the power supply board 630, the notable fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 can be identified as instructed in the above. Therefore, among the plurality of electronic components, the notable fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 can be identified from the other electronic components, the fuse FUSE3.

[9-3. Check for blown fuse]
Next, confirmation of blowing of the same type of fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 having the same shape mounted on the power supply board 630 will be described. As described above, the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3 are transparent glass tubes (support terminals at both ends are made of metal), and when they are blown, the fuse wire contained in the transparent glass tube is broken and the transparent glass tube. Soot adheres to the inside of the glass. Of the fuses FUSE1, FUSE2, and FUSE3, the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 are electronic components that can show traces of the power cord plug being accidentally inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, as described above. If the plug of the power cord is accidentally plugged into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, it will be blown. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned silk printing FSLK2 and 3 are printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630 as silk printing on the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 so that the state of the blown fuse wire can be easily confirmed. As described above, the silk-printed FSLK2 and 3 correspond to the transparent glass tube excluding both ends of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 because the region ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. By visually observing the white solid-painted region ad2 through the transparent glass tube, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the fuse wire accommodated in the transparent glass tube of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 is broken.

As a result, a staff member such as a clerk in the game hall or a worker who installs the pachinko machine 1 (replaces the game board 5) plugs the power cord that supplies the power supply voltage to the pachinko machine 1 to the AC24V which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. When the power switch 630a of the power supply board 630 is turned on and the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on by mistakenly inserting it into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, instead of the power supply outlet of the fuse FUSE1 and FUSE2. Of these, the fuse wire housed in one or both of the transparent glass tubes is broken and soot adheres to the inside of the transparent glass tube. Even if you plug it into the power outlet, you can't turn on the power, so it's an initial failure. "

On the other hand, as silk printing on the fuse FUSE3, as described above, silk printing FSLK1 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. In this embodiment, green is adopted as the resist of the power supply board 630. Further, in the present embodiment, a green resist is solidly coated on the area of the mounting surface of the power supply board 630 corresponding to the silk-screened FSLK1 for the fuse FUSE3. No wiring pattern is laid out in the area of the solid green resist corresponding to the transparent glass tube of Hughes FUSE3 (ie, the clear glass tube of Hughes FUSE3 and the corresponding solid green resist). Since the wiring pattern is formed so as to avoid the area of, no wiring pattern is formed in this area). This is a fuse wire housed in the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE3 by visually observing the area of the corresponding solid green resist with the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE3 through the transparent glass tube. The visibility of the state of is improved, and it is possible to confirm whether or not the fuse wire is broken.

As described above, the power supply line connector DCN2 of the power supply board 630 is via a power supply line for an interface board (not shown), an interface board 635 of the board unit 620 shown in FIG. 114, and a power supply line for a CR unit (not shown). It is electrically connected to a CR unit (not shown) installed outside the pachinko machine 1, and supplies AC24VA and AC24V to the CR unit (not shown). In other words, the interface board 635 has a function as a means for relaying various signals as well as a function as a means for supplying power to a CR unit (not shown). The interface board 635 has a fuse FUSE (in this embodiment, a transparent glass tube having a diameter of 5 mm and a length of 20 mm (support terminals at both ends are made of metal), and a class B blown specified by the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law). The silk screen printing shown in FIG. 159 (a) on the fuse FUSE 3 of the power supply board 630 described above is printed on the mounting surface thereof. A green resist is solidly applied to the area of the mounting surface of the interface board 635 corresponding to silk printing on the fuse FUSE (not shown). No wiring pattern is laid out in the area of the solid green resist that corresponds to the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE (not shown) (ie, the clear glass tube of the fuse FUSE not shown) and the corresponding solid color. Since the wiring pattern is formed so as to avoid the area of the green resist, no wiring pattern is formed in this area). It is housed in the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE by visually observing the area of the corresponding solid green resist with the transparent glass tube of the fuse FUSE (not shown) through the transparent glass tube. The visibility of the state of the fuse wire is improved, and it is possible to confirm whether or not the fuse wire is broken. The fuse FUSE (not shown) provided on the interface board 635 can be configured to be provided on one of AC24VA and AC24V supplied from the power supply line connector DCN2 of the power supply board 630, or can be configured to be provided on both of them. You can also do it.

[9-4. Capacitor capacity]
Next, the capacity of the capacitor BC0 will be described. As described above, the capacitor BC0 is a power supply line (that is, a + 5V power supply) supplied from the + 5V terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure. DC + 5V is supplied to the capacitor BC0 via the Schottky barrier diode D20 to charge the capacitor, while the pachinko machine 1 is cut off (breaker in the game hall). By turning off the power, the power of the pachinko machines installed in the game hall may be shut off all at once.) In the event of a power failure or momentary power failure, the power supplied from the + 5V terminal of the power creation circuit 630f. Discharge is started in response to the fact that DC + 5V from the line (that is, the + 5V power supply line) is no longer supplied to the capacitor BC0.

The power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off by the discharge of the capacitor BC0 (including the case where the power of the pachinko machines installed in the game hall is cut off all at once by turning off the breaker of the game hall), or a power failure or the like. In a state where a momentary power failure occurs, the backup power supply as the main VBB is supplied to the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a provided in the main control board 1310 so that various information stored in the main control built-in RAM is retained. In addition, various information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is held by supplying the backup power supply as the payout VBB to the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU633aa provided in the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633. It has become like.

When the business of the game hall is closed, the staff such as the clerk of the game hall turns off the breaker of the game hall to shut off the power of the pachinko machines installed in the game hall all at once. Then, when the next business is started (usually, the power switch of the pachinko machine installed in the game hall is left in the ON-operated state), a staff member such as a clerk of the game hall breaks the game hall. By turning on, the pachinko machines installed in the game hall are turned on all at once. At this time, if the capacity of the capacitor BC0 is small, the main control board 1310 is provided with the main control board 1310 by completing the discharge of the capacitor BC0 during the period from the end of the game hall business to the start of the next business. Various information of the main control built-in RAM of the control MPU 1310a and the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633aa provided in the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633 cannot be held. As a result, when the business starts, the staff such as the clerk of the game hall turns on the breaker of the game hall to turn on the power of the pachinko machines installed in the game hall all at once, and the RAM clear switch is turned on. Regardless of whether or not it has been operated, the main control MPU provided on the main control board determines the check sum (sum value) error of the main control built-in RAM in the power-on processing and completely erases the contents of the main control built-in RAM ( Since all the pachinko machines will execute the RAM clear notification to the effect that it has been cleared at the same time, the RAM clear notification sound flowing from the speakers of all the pachinko machines will be heard in the game hall. In this case, in all pachinko machines, the payout control MPU provided on the payout control board determines the checksum (sum value) error of the payout control built-in RAM in the power-on processing, and completely fills the contents of the payout control built-in RAM. Erase (clear).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the capacity of the capacitor BC0 is selected so that the RAM clear notification is not executed even when the business of the game hall is closed and the next business is started. Specifically, as the capacity of the capacitor BC0, to the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a provided in the main control board 1310 as the main VBB for about 3 days (about 72 hours) after the business of the game hall is closed. Various information that can be supplied and stored in the main control built-in RAM can be held, and as a payout VBB, it is supplied to the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU633aa provided in the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633 and has a built-in payout control. A capacitor having a capacity that can hold various information stored in the RAM is selected. In the selection of this capacity, the power consumption of the main VBB supplied to the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a provided in the main control board 1310 is the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU 633a provided in the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633. It is also taken into consideration that the power consumption of the paid VBB supplied to the circuit board may be about 10 times larger than that of the power consumption of the VBB. The power consumption of the control voltage (DC + 5V) supplied to the main control MPU 1310a provided in the main control board 1310 is the control voltage (DC + 5V) supplied to the payout control MPU 633a provided in the payout control unit 633a of the payout control board 633. Compared to the power consumption of.

[9-5. Countermeasures for discontinued electronic components]
Next, countermeasures for discontinued electronic components will be described. First, due to various circumstances of the pachinko machine 1, for a board treated as a main board such as a power supply board, a main control board, and a payout control board, a lead type electronic component is mounted on the mounting surface on the front side thereof, and the back surface is mounted. It is necessary to solder on the soldering surface on the side. However, although lead-type electronic components are important for manufacturers of gaming machines such as pachinko machines, slots, and fusion gaming machines, other general electrical equipment manufacturers offer surface mount type (miniaturization possible). So-called SMD type) is used. For this reason, production may be discontinued due to a decrease in the number of lead-type electronic components produced. Even if a lead-type electronic component obtained from one electronic component manufacturer is discontinued and a replacement is sought, it is highly probable that other electronic component manufacturers will also discontinue production. The lead-type electronic components will be used for a limited time, and it will be difficult to mount the lead-type electronic components on the board to be treated as the main board.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, a lead-type electronic component capable of configuring an SMD-type electronic component as a lead-type electronic component can be mounted on a mounting surface of a board treated as a main board. .. Here, the Schottky barrier diode D20 of the backup power supply circuit 630h of the power supply board 630 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 160A, the Schottky barrier diode D20 is located on the surface (mounting surface) of the substrate D20a at positions corresponding to the anode side D20ca and the cathode side D20cc which are the terminals of the SMD type Schottky barrier diode D20b. The land patterns D20da and D20db for SMD are formed in the land patterns D20fa and D20db for SMD, and the land patterns D20fa and D20fb for leads are formed at the positions where one ends of the leads D20ea and D20eb corresponding to the land patterns D20da and D20db for SMD are arranged. , D20db and the wiring patterns D20ga and D20gb for electrically connecting the lead land patterns D20fa and D20fb are formed.

Soldered on the land patterns D20da and D20db for SMD formed on the surface (mounting surface) of the substrate D20a so as to correspond to the anode side D20ca and the cathode side D20cc which are the terminals of the SMD type shotkey barrier diode D20b. , The anode side D20ca and the cathode side D20cc and the SMD land patterns D20da and D20db are soldered, and one ends of the leads D20ea and D20eb are soldered to the lead land patterns D20fa and D20fb, respectively. Then, the front surface (mounting surface) and the entire back surface of the substrate D20a are wrapped with an epoxy resin and molded to form an electronic component main body D20h that covers one end of the SMD type shotkey barrier diode D20b and the leads D20ea and D20eb. The shotkey barrier diode D20 can be configured as a lead-type electronic component in which two leads D20ea and D20eb project from the electronic component main body D20h. As shown in FIG. 160B, the symbol D20ha indicating the forward direction of the Schottky barrier diode D20 is printed on the front surface and / or the back surface of the electronic component main body D20h. Further, although not shown, the manufacturer name and product number (number published in the catalog) of the Schottky barrier diode D20 are also printed on the front surface and / or the back surface of the electronic component main body D20h.

In this way, since the SMD type electronic component can be configured as a lead type electronic component, even if the production of the lead type electronic component is reduced and the production is discontinued and it becomes difficult to obtain the component, it is general. It can be handled by using SMD type electronic components used by electric machine manufacturers.

Although the Schottky barrier diode D20 has been described in the above-described embodiment, it can also be applied to an SMD type capacitor, an SMD type resistor, an SMD type coil, and the like. Further, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of the same SMD type electronic components in a row in an array to form a lead type electronic component.

It is input to the anode terminal of D6, output from the cathode terminal of the diodes D5 and D6, and input to the AC-DET terminal of the power supply creation circuit 630f.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, when the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall is supplied to the power supply line connector DCN1 via a power cord (not shown) as described above, the fuse FUSE1 , It is input to the input side terminals 3 and 1 of the power switch 630a via FUSE2. For the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, as described above, the white outline and the area ad2 in which the inside of the outline is solidly painted in white are used as silk printing, and the silk printing FSLK2 and 3 are mounted on the power supply board 630. It is printed on the surface. That is, the region ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. As described above, both ends of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 have support metal fittings (not shown) soldered to the power supply board 630, but the areas inside the white outline and the area around the support metal fittings are white. The solid-painted area ad2 can be visually recognized, and the white solid-painted area corresponding to the transparent glass tube excluding both ends of the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2, which is the inner part of the white outline. The ad2 can be reliably seen through a transparent glass tube.

On the other hand, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 161, AC24V from the island facility of the game hall is supplied to the power supply line connector DCN1 via a power cord (not shown). Then, the L side (AC24V1) is input to the input side terminal 3 of the power switch 630a via the fuse FUSE1, and the N side (AC24V2) is input to the input side terminal 1 of the power switch 630a as it is. Will be done. For the fuse FUSE1, as described above, the white outline and the area ad2 in which the inside of the outline is solidly painted in white are printed as silk printing, and the silk printing FSLK2 is printed on the mounting surface of the power supply board 630. ing. That is, the region ad2 solidly painted in white is represented as a characteristic pattern. As described above, both ends of the fuse FUSE1 have support metal fittings (not shown) soldered to the power supply board 630, but the area inside the white outline and the area around the support metal fittings are painted solid in white. The area ad2 that has been soldered can be visually recognized, and the area ad2 that is the inner area of the white outline and is solidly painted in white corresponding to the transparent glass tube excluding both ends of the fuse FUSE1 is transparent. It can be reliably seen through the glass tube.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall omits the fuse FUSE2 in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Briefly explaining this, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment, the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall has the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 on both power cords (L side (AC24V1), N side (L side (AC24V1), N side ( This is because the input was input to AC24V2)), but no problem occurred even if one (N side (AC24V2)) was omitted according to the test conducted by the applicant. As a result, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 161, one side (N side (AC24V2)) of AC24V from the island facility of the game hall is used as the input side terminal 1 of the power supply switch 630a. Cost reduction is realized by inputting as it is in.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the same power switch 630a as in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment is adopted. To briefly explain this, it is necessary to reliably disconnect / connect both the L side and the N side of the AC24V from the island equipment of the game hall with respect to the power switch 630a. As a result, the power switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment is the AC24V from the island facility of the game hall, similarly to the power switch 630a in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Both the L side and the N side can be disconnected / contacted at the same time.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 161, the N side (AC24V2) of AC24V from the island facility of the game hall and the input side terminal 1 of the power supply switch 630a are It is electrically connected to one of the microgap type arresters AL1 in between. The other end of this microgap type arrester AL1 is electrically connected to the frame ground FG2 of the ground connection terminal DCN5. The microgap type arrester AL1 surges the surge voltage to the frame ground FG2 of the ground connection terminal DCN5 when a high voltage (referred to as "surge voltage") invades AC24V from the island equipment of the game hall due to a lightning strike. The surge voltage is limited by flowing it as a current so that the surge voltage is not applied to the power switch 630a, and the high voltage (surge voltage) temporarily generated by turning the power switch 630a on and off is applied to the ground connection terminal DCN5. The surge voltage is limited by flowing it as a surge current through the frame ground FG2 so that the surge voltage is not applied to the power switch 630a. Further, in the microgap type arrester AL1, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the game hall, an operator mistakenly makes a mistake, and the ground terminal ECN2 (island equipment ground) of the frame grounding board 559 shown in FIG. 102 (b). If you forget to electrically connect the ground connection terminal in the island facility of the game hall via the island facility ground wire, electromagnetic noise is used as a guarantee on the N side of AC24V (AC24V2) from the island facility in the game hall. ), The noise resistance can be improved.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC which is a circuit for common mode noise countermeasure, the normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC which is a circuit for normal mode noise countermeasure, and the choke coil. In addition to L1, the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g'is configured, and the output side terminals 4 and 2 of the power supply switch 630a are a common mode noise suppression circuit CMC, a normal mode noise suppression circuit NMC, and a power supply destruction circuit. It is input to 630 g'and the choke coil L1. The surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630 g'has a faster reaction speed than the varistor ZNR1 and ZNR2 of the common mode noise countermeasure circuit CMC and the varistor ZNR3 of the normal mode noise countermeasure circuit NMC (for example, as the surge absorber SA1). A silicon surge absorber can be mentioned), one end of which is electrically connected to the L side (AC24V1) of AC24V via the power switch 630a, and the other end is the N side of AC24V (AC24V1) via the power switch 630a. It is electrically connected to AC24V2), and when a circuit voltage exceeding the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) is input, a large current flows and is destroyed, resulting in a short circuit and a short mode.

A varistor may be used as the surge absorber SA1, but here, a silicon surge absorber (also referred to as a semiconductor varistor, VRD, or the like) is used. The silicon surge absorber can absorb a surge voltage having a steep rise as compared with a normal varistor, and utilizes the avalanche (electron avalanche) effect of the pn junction of silicon. This silicon surge absorber has the features of being extremely quick in responding to surges, having extremely excellent control voltage characteristics, and having a very small leakage current. Since the surge absorber SA1 is an AC circuit, a bidirectional type may be used, and a rated voltage (breakdown voltage) of 47 V, which is about twice the input voltage, may be selected.

Further, in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the cathode terminals 2 of the Schottky barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c are electrically connected to the No. 2 (COM) terminal of the relay RL1. , Is electrically connected to one end of the thermistor TH1. The other end of the thermistor TH1 is electrically connected to the third (NO) terminal of the relay RL1 and also electrically connected to one end of the choke coil L2. The other end of the choke coil L2 is electrically connected to the power factor improving circuit 630d. The four terminals of the relay RL1 are grounded to the ground (GND), and the first terminal of the relay RL1 is electrically connected to the relay drive circuit 630i described later. As a result, both ends of the thermistor TH1 are electrically connected between the terminals (that is, between the contacts) between the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1. The thermista TH1 is a type in which the resistance value decreases as the temperature rises. As its characteristics, if the vertical axis is the allowable capacitor capacity and the horizontal axis is the AC voltage, the AC voltage value increases. Therefore, a capacitor having a curve that the value of the allowable capacitor capacity becomes small and not destroyed even when AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage, is applied is selected.

The direct current whose power factor has been improved by the power factor improving circuit 630d is input to the smoothing circuit 630e, input to the power supply making circuit 630f, and input to the relay drive circuit 630i. When the direct current from the smoothing circuit 630e is input, the relay drive circuit 630 creates an operating voltage (+ 24V) capable of operating the coil of the relay RL1 and supplies it to the first terminal of the relay RL1.

The rectified DC output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shot key barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is due to insufficient power from the relay drive circuit 630i when the power switch 630a is turned on (relay drive circuit). Since the coil of the relay RL1 is not operating (that is, the power supply by + 24V from the 630i is insufficient), the relay RL1 cannot be turned on (that is, the relay RL1 remains OFF). , The 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 are input to the power factor improvement circuit 630d via the thermista TH1 and the choke coil L2 without passing through the relay RL1 in a non-conducting state. The relay. As a result, the rectified DC output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifying circuit 630c flows only toward the thermistor TH1, and when this DC starts flowing to the thermistor TH1, the resistance value. Although a weak current is passed through the load following the thermistor TH1, the temperature of the thermistor TH1 gradually rises due to the current flowing through the thermistor TH1, and the resistance value of the thermistor TH1 decreases accordingly to succeed the thermistor TH1. Pass a strong current through the load.

On the other hand, when the power switch 630a is turned on and the coil of the relay RL1 is switched from the non-operating state to the operating state by the power from the relay drive circuit 630i (by the power supply by + 24V from the relay drive circuit 630i), the relay RL1 By turning on, the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 are made conductive, and the rectified DC output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is generated. In addition to the thermista TH1, the relay RL1 is diverted between the terminals of the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal (that is, between the contacts), passes through each, and is input to the power factor improvement circuit 630d via the choke coil L2. Will be done. As a result, the rectified direct current output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is between the terminals of the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 (that is, between the contacts). ), The current to the thermistor TH1 decreases, the temperature of the thermistor TH1 decreases, and the resistance value of the thermistor TH1 increases accordingly, so that the 2nd (COM) terminal and the 3rd terminal of the relay RL1 The current passing between the terminals (that is, between the contacts) will increase.

As described above, the thermistor TH1 is of a type in which the resistance value decreases as the temperature rises, and the rectified DC output from the cathode terminals 2 of the shotkey barrier diodes D1 and D2 of the rectifier circuit 630c is the thermistor. When flowing through TH1, the current to the subsequent load of the thermistor TH1 becomes stronger as the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises and the resistance value decreases. In other words, the current flowing through the choke coil L2 is limited until the temperature of the thermistor TH1 rises. When this function is used, the plug of the power cord is not plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall, and the power supply of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. If it is accidentally plugged into the outlet, the circuit voltage applied to the surge absorber SA1 will greatly exceed the rated voltage (breakdown voltage) by the time the temperature of the thermista TH1 rises, and a large current will flow through the surge absorber SA1 to cause a surge. The absorber SA1 can be destroyed and set to the short mode.

In such a state, when the power switch 630a is turned on, a large current flows through the fuse FUSE1 via the surge absorber SA1 which is in the short mode state in the noise suppression circuit 630b, and the fuse FUSE1 is blown. It will be blown. Further, when the fuse FUSE1 is blown while the surge absorber SA1 is in the short mode, a large current does not continue to flow through the surge absorber SA1, so that the elements of the surge absorber SA1 are scattered and the surge absorber SA1 becomes sick. It can be prevented from being destroyed in the open mode. As a result, only the power supply board 630 is destroyed, and even if the plug of the power cord is accidentally inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is the commercial power supply voltage, each board inside the pachinko machine 1 except the power supply board 630 is destroyed. It is possible to surely prevent this.

In the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the second embodiment, the AC-DET terminal for monitoring the power supply voltage in which the common mode noise is reduced by the choke coil L1 in the configuration of the commercial power supply voltage countermeasure according to the first embodiment. Since the FUSE-GATE terminal for outputting the gate signal for the power supply destruction circuit and the CGND terminal for passing a large current to the fuses FUSE1 and FUSE2 do not need to be provided, the circuit configuration is not complicated.

In addition, the plug of the power cord was not inserted into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, and was mistakenly inserted into the power outlet of AC100V, which is a commercial power supply voltage higher than AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine. When the surge absorber SA1 that is inserted and constitutes the power supply destruction circuit 630g'is destroyed, replace the fuse FUSE1 with one that has not blown, and replace the plug of the power cord with the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility in the game hall. Even if the fuse is plugged into the AC24V power outlet, the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g'has already been destroyed and the short mode is maintained. Therefore, the fuse replaced via the surge absorber SA1. A large current flows through FUSE1 and the fuse FUSE1 is blown again. That is, unless the power supply board 630 in which the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g'is already destroyed is replaced with a normal power supply board 630 in which the surge absorber SA1 constituting the power supply destruction circuit 630g' is not destroyed. Even if the plug of the power cord is plugged into the power outlet of AC24V, which is the power supply voltage for the game machine of the island facility of the game hall, the game cannot be started.

Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with a power supply means capable of creating various power sources required for a gaming device based on an external power source supplied from outside the gaming machine has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-0083221). Gazette (Fig. 2). By the way, when the person in charge of the service center of the manufacturer of the gaming machine instructs the staff such as the clerk of the gaming hall by telephone to specify a specific part of the power supply means, the person in charge of the service center is instructed. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to identify a noteworthy component among a plurality of components mounted on the power supply means.

Further, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with a power supply means for creating various power sources based on the power source from the game island equipment and supplying them to the substrate has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-083337 (paragraph [0038]). )). The game island equipment converts the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) into a stepped-down AC power supply for gaming machines (AC24V). However, when the power cord for supplying power from the island equipment to the gaming machine is plugged into the power outlet of the commercial AC power supply instead of the power outlet of the AC power supply for the gaming machine, the commercial AC power supply is connected to the AC power supply for the gaming machine. Since it has a high voltage, an abnormal power source may be output from the power supply means and various boards inside the gaming machine may be destroyed.

Like the input port PA, the input port PB is composed of 8 bits.

[10-2. Power supply and input signal in the circuit of the payout control board]
Of the power supplies in the circuit of the payout control board 633, the control power supply of the payout control MPU633aa is supplied with DC + 5V from the power supply creation circuit 630f (630f') of the power supply board 630, and is supplied to the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU633aa.

Each charged charge is applied as DC + 5V over a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the momentary power failure occurs.

The VDD terminal of the payout control MPU633aa is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor PC3 whose one end is grounded to ground (GND), and the DC + 5V applied to the VDD terminal is further smoothed by removing ripples. The VSS terminal, which is the ground terminal of the payout control MPU633aa, is grounded to the ground (GND).

The VBB terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the RAM with built-in payout control of the payout control MPU633aa, is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor PC4 whose one end is grounded to ground (GND), and is also powered via the resistor PR0. It is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the backup power supply circuit 630h of the board 630. As a result, the payout VBB from the backup power supply circuit 630h of the power supply board 630 is applied to the VBB terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU633aa, via the resistor PR0.

It is mainly composed of a maximum current setting circuit 402by that can set the maximum current of the current flowing through the huLED1 to huLED5 of the decorative substrate 402a on the side surface. The constant current drive circuit 402bbx is a board (decorative board 402b on the lower left side) on which it is mounted based on the door frame side second serial system (light emitting data SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2) from the door frame sub-relay board 105. Control is performed to pass a constant current through the hdLED9, the hdLED10, and the huLED1 to huLED5 of the decorative substrate 402a on the left side.

As described above, the constant current drive circuit 402bax of the LED constant current drive circuit 402ba is a sink (suction) type, and therefore generates heat by sucking the constant current flowing through the huLED1 to huLED8. As described above, since the constant current drive circuit 402bbx of the LED constant current drive circuit 402bb is a sink (suction) type, heat is generated by sucking the constant current flowing through the hdLED9, hdLED10, and huLED1 to huLED5. Therefore, by taking part of the heat generated by the constant current drive circuit 402bax by the heat distribution circuit 402bc, the heat generated by the constant current drive circuit 402bax can be dispersed. Further, a part of the heat generated by the constant current drive circuit 402bbx can be distributed by the heat distribution circuit 402bc and the heat distribution circuit 402ac of the decorative substrate 402a on the left side. ing.

It is mainly composed of a maximum current setting circuit 283y that can be used.

[11-2-1. Constant current drive circuit]
The constant current drive circuit has 24 output channels and can output current for each channel. In the present embodiment, the output channel LR is for an LED element that emits light in red (R), an LED element that emits light in green (G), and an LED element that emits light in blue (B), which constitute one full-color LED. , LG, LB are individually controlled to use three output channels. That is, in the present embodiment, the light emission mode is controlled by individually controlling the output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, and LB1 to LB8 for a maximum of eight full-color LEDs in one constant current drive circuit. Can be done.

The constant current drive circuit 283x is from a linear power supply 283xa, a reset unit 283xb, a data line buffer 283xc, a clock line buffer 283xd, an address setting unit 283xe, an oscillator 283xf, a logic processing unit 283xg, a PWM unit 283xh, and a constant current drive unit 283xi. It is mainly composed.

[11-2-1a. Linear power supply]
The linear power supply 283xa is a circuit capable of creating and supplying an internal power supply Vreg (DC + 5V in this embodiment) to be used in the constant current drive circuit 283x by inputting DC + 12V from the + 12V power supply line. The internal power supply Vreg created by the linear power supply 283xa includes a reset unit 283xb, a data line buffer 283xc, a clock line buffer 283xd, an address setting unit 283xe, an oscillator 283xf, a logic processing unit 283xg, a PWM unit 283xh, and a constant current drive unit. It is supplied to 283xi respectively, and the reset unit 283xb, the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xxi are supplied by this internal power supply Verg. Is ready to work.

The constant current drive circuit 283x is not electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line of the power supply board 630 shown in FIG. 155, and + DC 5V is independently created as an internal power supply Vreg and used in the constant current drive circuit 283x. There is. This is because when the + 5V power supply line from the power supply board 630 is used, this + 5V power supply line is used by routing the electrical wiring, so that the length of the + 5V power supply line that supplies DC + 5V becomes long and noise is generated. It becomes easy to invade. Then, when the external noise is transmitted to the + 5V power supply line and the DC + 5V is input to the constant current drive circuit 283x, the LED may flicker under the influence of the external noise. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the + 5V power supply line from the power supply board 630 is not required for the constant current drive circuit 283x, so that the noise resistance is extremely high as compared with the + 5V power supply line. In the linear power supply 283xa, a configuration was adopted in which DC + 5V was originally created as an internal power supply Vreg.

As described above, in the present embodiment, external noise is transmitted to the internal power supply Vreg by using the constant current drive circuit 283x only in the constant current drive circuit 283x without outputting the internal power supply Vreg toward the other substrate. Since it can be made difficult, the internal power supply Vreg can be stabilized. As a result, the internal power supply Vreg is stabilized, which can contribute to the prevention of flicker of the sdLED1 to sdLED6, which are full-color LEDs due to external noise. Therefore, it can be made strong against external noise. Further, the electric wiring for input and the electric wiring for external transmission to the + 5V power supply line become unnecessary, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the connector.

[11-2-1b. Reset part]
The reset unit 283xb creates an internal reset signal RST based on the internal power supply Vreg from the linear power supply 283xa and outputs it into the constant current drive circuit 283x, initializes the constant current drive circuit 283x, and operates the constant current drive circuit 283x. It is a so-called power-on reset circuit that can be started. The internal reset signal RST output from the reset unit 283xb is input to the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi. Then, the data line buffer 283xc, the clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xx are initialized, and the data line buffer 283xc, The clock line buffer 283xd, the address setting unit 283xe, the oscillator 283xf, the logic processing unit 283xg, the PWM unit 283xh, and the constant current drive unit 283xi are started to operate.

For example, the constant current drive circuit 283x does not input the reset signal from the peripheral control board 1510 shown in FIG. 148, but independently creates a reset signal as an internal reset signal RST and uses it in the constant current drive circuit 283x. There is. For example, when a line for transmitting a reset signal from the peripheral control board 1510 (hereinafter referred to as "reset signal transmission line") is used, this reset signal transmission line is used by routing an electric wiring. Therefore, the length of the reset signal transmission line that transmits the reset signal becomes long, and noise easily enters. Then, when the external noise is transmitted to the reset signal transmission line and the reset signal is input to the constant current drive circuit 283x, the constant current drive circuit 283x may be reset and the LED may be turned off due to the influence of the external noise. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by eliminating the need for the reset signal transmission line in the constant current drive circuit 283x, the reset unit 283xb of the constant current drive circuit 283x independently creates a reset signal as an internal reset signal RST. did.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the reset signal is not input from the external board, and the internal reset signal RST is not output from the constant current drive circuit 283x to the other board, and only in the constant current drive circuit 283x. By using this, it is possible to make it difficult for external noise to be transmitted to the internal reset signal RST, so that the internal reset signal RST can be stabilized. As a result, the internal reset signal RST is stabilized (that is, the initialization of the constant current drive circuit 283x is stabilized), so that the constant current drive circuit 283x due to external noise is not reset, and the output channels LR1 to LR8, It is possible to contribute to the prevention of unexpected extinguishing and flicker of the LED elements constituting the full-color LED corresponding to LG1 to LG8 and LB1 to LB8. Therefore, it can be made strong against external noise. Further, the input electrical wiring and the external transmission electrical wiring for the reset signal transmission line are not required, which can contribute to the miniaturization of the connector.

The data line buffer 283xc is a line for transmitting serial data from the outside of the constant current drive circuit 283x (here, light emitting data SDAT1 of the first serial system on the door frame side) (hereinafter, referred to as "data line"). This circuit is capable of shaping the waveform of a signal to which serial data is input and transmitting the serial data and outputting it to the outside of the logic processing unit 283xg and the constant current drive circuit 283x, respectively. The clock line buffer 283xd is a line that transmits a clock signal from the outside of the constant current drive circuit 283x (here, the clock signal SCLK1 of the first serial system on the door frame side) (hereinafter, referred to as “clock line”). The clock signal is input from the above, and the waveform of the clock signal is shaped and output to the outside of the logic processing unit 283xg and the constant current drive circuit 283x, respectively.

As described above, the data line and the clock line are transmitted across a plurality of boards and relay boards. Therefore, both the lengths of the data line and the clock line become long, and noise easily enters. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by providing the data line buffer 283xc and the clock line buffer 283xd in the constant current drive circuit 283x, noise that has entered the data line or clock line immediately before being input to the constant current drive circuit 283x. The waveform is shaped by the data line buffer 283xc and the clock line buffer 283xd so as not to be transmitted to the logic processing unit 283xg and the subsequent board.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to form the data line and the clock line that are resistant to noise even when both the lengths of the data line and the clock line are long. This makes it possible to realize signal transmission that is resistant to noise. Therefore, it can be made strong against external noise.

Occasionally, control that captures gradation information from this serial data and sets the gradation degree in the output channel to the PWM unit 283xh based on the signal (control clock signal) from the oscillator 283xf so that the captured gradation information becomes the captured gradation information. On the other hand, when the ID information of the serial data (light emitting data SDAT1 of the first serial system on the door frame side) does not include its own ID, the gradation information in this serial data is not taken in and is set in the PWM unit 283xh. Control to maintain the current contents.

Not implemented at all.

Further, on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative board 402b, the board control number of the lower left side decorative board 402b is a wiring in which the foil removal character (that is, the layer (copper plane) in which the wiring pattern is formed is copper foil). It is formed as a punched letter formed by making a letter with a pattern and pulling out the copper foil around it), and the foil punched letter is formed by a white resist that is solidly painted on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. It is covered. The wiring pattern forming the foil-free characters is electrically insulated from the electronic components. The board control number of the lower left side decorative board 402b is replaced with the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative board 402b, and the foil removal character (that is, the wiring pattern) is used on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative board 402b. In the layer (copper plane) on which the copper foil is formed, a character may be formed with a wiring pattern that is a copper foil, and the copper foil around the character may be removed to form a character), or the decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side may be formed.

It may be formed as a blank character formed by pulling out the copper foil). Further, the LED mounting surface 402bx and the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b are formed as solid earth as described later. For this reason, the board control number of the decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side is a character with a wiring pattern that is copper foil in the foil removal character (that is, the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed), and the copper foil around it is removed. It is formed as a character without characters on either one or both of the solid earth of the LED mounting surface 402bx and the solid earth of the LED non-mounting surface 402by, without forming as a character). May be.

Areas indicating the positions where electronic components such as resistors are placed are printed as silk printing with solid yellow lines (or solid black lines), and the part numbers corresponding to the electronic components are printed as silk printing in the vicinity of these areas. It is printed in yellow (or black) respectively. Specifically, for example, the region indicating the position where the constant current drive circuit 402bax is arranged is a yellow solid line (or a black solid line) LSLKa (see FIG. 169 (a)) as silk printing, and the lower left side decorative substrate. IC1 (see FIG. 169 (a)), which is printed on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of 402b and has a part number corresponding to the constant current drive circuit 402bax in the vicinity of this region LSLKa, is silk-printed. The yellow solid line (or the black solid line) is printed on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. Then, the region indicating the position where the resistors Rr, Rb, and Rg of the maximum current setting circuit 402bay are arranged is a yellow solid line (or a black solid line) LSLKb, LSLKc, LSLKd (see FIG. 169 (a)) as silk printing. It is printed on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, respectively, and in the vicinity of these areas LSLKb, LSLKc, LSLKd and to the right, the resistors Rr, Rb, Rg of the maximum current setting circuit 402bay. The component numbers R1, R2, and R3 (see FIG. 169 (a)) corresponding to the above are printed in yellow (or black) as silk printing on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, respectively. There is.

Further, on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, the area corresponding to the hdLED1 to hdLED10, which are full-color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, is a yellow chain line as silk printing. (Or black chain line) LSLK1 to LSLK10 (in FIG. 169 (a), only the chain lines LSLK4 and LSLK5 corresponding to the full-color LEDs hdLED4 and hdLED5 are represented), and these areas are printed. Part numbers corresponding to hdLED1 to hdLED10 which are full-color LEDs in the vicinity of LSLK1 to LSLK10 and above or below (in FIG. 169 (a), LED4 and LED5 which are part numbers corresponding to hdLED4 and hdLED5 which are full-color LEDs (Represented only respectively.) Is printed in yellow (or black) as silk printing.

On the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the left side lower decorative board 402b, a yellow chain line (not shown as silk printing) indicating a position where the connector LDLCN mounted on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the left side lower decorative board 402b is arranged is a yellow chain line. In addition to being printed in (or a black chain line), the part number corresponding to the connector LEDCN is printed in yellow (or black), which is not shown as silk printing, in the vicinity of this area.

Further, the resistors and capacitors mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b do not have white color, and the constant current drive circuit 402bax (402bbx) integrated on one semiconductor chip is the same. The package is made of black resin, and the connector LDLCN is made of resin whose housing has either black, brown, or blue. In this way, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and ICs that do not have white color, and connectors that do not have white color have low reflectance due to the light emission of full-color LEDs, so the LED non-mounting surface. It is implemented in.

Further, on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, lighting inspections for hdLED1 to hdLED10, which are full-color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, are individually performed (for example,). For each LED element that constitutes one full-color LED, the LED element that emits light in red (R), the LED element that emits light in green (G), and the LED element that emits light in blue (B)) Multiple check pins (not shown) that can be formed are formed as test pads (or through holes) that are connected to the wiring pattern, and the part numbers corresponding to each of the multiple check pins are not shown as silk printing in the vicinity of the multiple check pins. It is printed in yellow (or black). The check pins are not coated with white resist. As a result, the operator performing the inspection brings the probe (not shown) into contact with the check pin, so that the probe (not shown) and the check pin are electrically connected and conductive, and various inspections can be performed. Some of the plurality of check pins can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 402bax and the constant current drive circuit 402bbx.

In the embodiment, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color, which reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED, and the connector that does not have white color are LEDs that emit light from the full-color LED. Since the reflectance on the mounting surface is reduced, it was not mounted on the LED mounting surface at all, but the area corresponding to the member arranged in front of the LED mounting surface generated by the light emission of the full-color LED is the LED mounting surface. If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance in the above, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color may be arranged in the region. In this case, on the LED non-mounting surface, an area indicating the position where electronic components and connectors are arranged is printed by a yellow chain line (or a black chain line) (not shown) as silk printing, and electrons are printed in the vicinity of this area. The component number corresponding to the component or connector is printed in yellow (or black) (not shown) as silk printing.

The LED mounting surface 402bx and the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b are formed as a so-called solid ground in which a region excluding land patterns and wiring patterns such as electronic components and connectors is grounded to the ground (GND). The solid earth formed on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b and the solid earth formed on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b are electrically connected by a plurality of through holes (not shown). There is.

As described above, the lower left side decorative substrate 402b is formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending vertically, so that the lower left decorative substrate 402b is viewed from the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left decorative substrate 402b. The width dimension from the left end side 402beg1 to the right end side 402beg2 is only about 1.78 times the width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx. Therefore, if the end edges of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged so as to be parallel to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b, the lands of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged. Since the distance dimension between the edge of the pattern and the left edge 402beg1 or the right edge 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b becomes extremely short, let's draw out the wiring pattern from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the edge. Even so, since there is a limit on the minimum distance dimension in the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the adjacent spacing of the wiring patterns, it is difficult to draw out all the wiring patterns from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged at the end. ..

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the end sides of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged in a state of being inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. Adopted the configuration.

In the present embodiment, by adopting such an arrangement, the right lower end side of the four end sides of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx is input when viewed from the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. By arranging the terminal on the input side closer to the left end side 402beg1 of the decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side so as to be the terminal on the side, the terminal on the input side is the second serial system on the door frame side (light emitting data SDAT2, clock signal SCLK2) shown in FIG. ), DC + 12V, and ground (GND), resistances Rr and Rg of the maximum current setting circuits 402by and 402by are input, and the left lower end side, the upper left end side, and the upper right end side are mainly the terminal to the output side of the output side 1, respectively. The terminals 1 on the output side to the terminal 3 on the output side are the output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, LB1 to LB8, and the second serial system on the door frame side (light emitting data SDAT2). , Clock signal SCLK2), etc. are output. The terminal on the output side 1 has a terminal on which the resistance Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 402by and 402by is input, and the output side 2 and the output side 3 have a terminal on which ground (GND) is input. There is.

Further, by adopting such an arrangement, two of the four ends of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. It can be arranged as a state, and the remaining two end sides can be arranged as a state inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. As a result, the minimum distance dimension is limited by the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the adjacent spacing of the wiring patterns from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the four ends of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx. Even, all wiring patterns can be drawn out. Therefore, it is possible to secure a region where wiring (wiring pattern) is drawn from the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx in the left side lower decorative substrate 402b formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending vertically.

Further, by adopting such an arrangement, among the eight full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED8, the group 1 composed of four full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED4 and four full-color LEDs. Since the constant current drive circuit 402bax can be arranged between the group 2 composed of hdLED5 to hdLED8, the length of the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 402bax to the group 1 and the group 2 is routed. The LED can be formed evenly. As a result, it is possible to prevent the length of the wiring pattern to be routed between the group 1 and the group 2 from becoming longer or shorter in a biased manner in either the group 1 or the group 2. It is possible to improve the efficiency of wiring pattern arrangement and routing in the work.

Further, by adopting such an arrangement, the constant current drive circuit 402bax is provided with the hdLED6 which is a full-color LED in the vertical center portion (the full-color LED of FIG. 168 (a)) on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. The constant current drive circuit 402bbx can be arranged closer to the lower side than the portion to be arranged), and the central portion in the vertical direction on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b (FIG. 168 (a)). It can be arranged above the hdLED 8 which is a full-color LED configured in Group 2 whose light emission is controlled by the constant current drive circuit 402bax, which is closer to the upper side than the portion where the hdLED 6 which is a full-color LED is arranged. .. As a result, it is possible to secure an area for routing the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 402bax to the eight full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED8 on the lower left side decorative substrate 402b, and from the constant current drive circuit 402bbx. The area for routing the wiring pattern to the full-color LEDs huLED1 to huLED5 provided in the hdLED9, hdLED10, which are two full-color LEDs, and the five left-side upper decorative boards 402a shown in FIG. It can be secured at 402b.

In this embodiment, in addition to the resistors Rr, Rg, and Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 402by and 402by, a capacitor (not shown) is soldered to the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. The resistors Rr, Rg, Rb, and capacitors (not shown) are surface mount type (SMD) with a rectangular planar shape, and are in the so-called EIA format 0805 (named 2012, horizontal length: 2.0 mm, vertical length). S: 1.25 mm). That is, the sizes of the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb, and the capacitor (not shown) are compared with the sizes of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx (horizontal length: 6.0 mm, vertical length: 6.0 mm). Extremely small. Therefore, the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and the capacitors (not shown) are different from the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx, and the resistors Rr, Rg and Rb have one end in the longitudinal direction on the left end side of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b. A capacitor (not shown) is arranged so as to be parallel to 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2, and one end side in the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. It is arranged like this. In other words, the end sides of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx arranged so that the ends of the land pattern are inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b, and the resistance. Rr, Rg, Rb, and one end side of a capacitor (not shown) in the longitudinal direction are arranged on the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b so as to be non-parallel to each other.

Further, as described above, the method of arranging the LED constant current drive circuit in each decorative board of the door frame 3 is such that the end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is 45 with respect to the left end side and the right end side of the decorative board. Although they are arranged in an inclined state and are almost the same, the door frame top central decorative board 455, the door frame top left decorative board 456, and the door frame top right decorative board 457 of the door frame top decorative body 453 are doors. Unlike the other decorative boards of the frame 3, the door frame top center decorative board 455, the door frame top left decorative board 456, and the door frame top right decorative board 457 are arranged on the door frame top decorative body 453. Since the width dimension from the upper end side to the lower end side is large, the end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is set to the door frame top center decorative board 455, the door frame top left decorative board 456, and the door frame top right decorative board 457. It is arranged so as to be parallel to the upper end side and the lower end side of the door. That is, in the present embodiment, the edge of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is parallel to the edge of the decorative substrate, and the edge of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit is not parallel to the edge of the decorative substrate. There is a mixture of things that become. In the present embodiment, the door frame top central decorative substrate 455 includes, in addition to the 11 full-color LEDs provided therein, another central decorative substrate on which five full-color LEDs (not shown) are mounted, which is not shown. Two LED constant current drive circuits (first LED constant current drive circuit (first constant current drive circuit, first maximum current setting circuit), second LED constant current drive circuit (second constant current drive circuit,) (Second maximum current setting circuit))), illustrated by one LED constant current drive circuit (here, a second LED constant current drive circuit (second constant current drive circuit, second maximum current setting circuit)). Not via two heat distribution circuits provided for itself (the first constant current circuit is the first heat distribution circuit (heat distribution resistance), the second constant current circuit is the second heat distribution circuit (heat distribution resistance)). The door frame top left decorative board 456 is provided with another left decorative board (not shown) on which one full-color LED (not shown) is mounted, in addition to the seven full-color LEDs provided in the door frame top left decorative board 456. Direct light emission control is performed by one LED constant current drive circuit (constant current drive circuit, maximum current setting circuit) via one heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance) provided in itself (not shown), and the door frame top right decorative board 457 is , In addition to the 6 full-color LEDs provided by itself, one LED constant-current drive circuit (constant-current drive circuit, maximum) equipped with another right decorative board on which two full-color LEDs (not shown) are mounted. The current setting circuit) controls light emission directly via one heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance) provided for itself (not shown). The other central decorative substrate is formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending to the left and right along the central portion of the door frame top decorative body 453, and the other left decorative substrate is the left portion of the door frame top decorative body 453. The other right decorative substrate is formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending to the left and right along the right side of the door frame top decorative body 453. The other central decorative substrate, the other left decorative substrate, and the other right decorative substrate need to be provided with a heat dispersion circuit (heat dispersion resistance), respectively. As described above, the heat distribution circuit (here, the second heat distribution circuit (heat distribution resistance)) provided in the central decorative board 455 itself and the heat distribution circuit of the other central decorative board are the door frame top. In addition to the function of being able to disperse the heat generated by the second LED constant current drive circuit (to be exact, the second constant current drive circuit) provided in the central decorative board 455 itself, it prevents damage to electronic components due to static electricity. It also has a function that can be used. Further, as described above, the heat distribution circuit provided in the door frame top left decorative board 456 itself and the heat distribution circuit of the other left decorative board are LED constant current drive circuits provided in the door frame top left decorative board 456 itself (accurately). In addition to the function of being able to disperse the heat generated by the constant current drive circuit), it also has the function of preventing damage to electronic components due to static electricity. Further, as described above, the heat distribution circuit provided in the door frame top right decorative board 457 itself and the heat distribution circuit of the other right decorative board are LED constant current drive circuits provided in the door frame top right decorative board 457 itself (accurately). In addition to the function of being able to disperse the heat generated by the constant current drive circuit), it also has the function of preventing damage to electronic components due to static electricity.

Further, the end edge of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx is arranged in a state of being inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b, and 10 full-color LEDs. When the hdLED1 to hdLED10 are closer to the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative board 402b when viewed from the LED mounting surface 402bx of the left side lower decorative board 402b, along the vertical direction of the LED mounting surface 402bx of the left side lower decorative board 402b. The constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged at predetermined intervals, whereas the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are closer to the left end side 402beg1 of the left side lower decorative board 402b when viewed from the LED mounting surface 402bx of the left side lower decorative board 402b. A configuration was adopted in which the decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side was arranged on the LED non-mounting surface 402by. As described above, the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are sink (suction) type, and generate heat by sucking the constant current flowing through each LED element. Therefore, even in the left side lower decorative substrate 402b formed in the shape of an elongated strip extending vertically, the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx and the 10 full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 are separated from each other. The heat generated by the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx can be made less likely to be affected by the hdLED1 to hdLED10, which are 10 full-color LEDs.

Further, the constant current drive circuit is arranged by arranging the end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx in a state of being inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the left end side 402beg1 and the right end side 402beg2 of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b. The edges of the land patterns of 402bax and 402bbx are arranged so as to be parallel to the left and right edges of the decorative substrate (that is, the door frame top central decorative substrate 455 and the door frame top left decoration of the door frame top decorative body 453). Compared to the board 456 and the door frame top right decorative board 457), the decorative board in which the end edges of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx are arranged non-parallel to the left and right edges of the decorative board. The width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of is shorter. This can contribute to increasing the distance dimension in the left-right direction of the game board 5.

[11-4-2. Decorative board on the center of the plate]
As shown in FIG. 168 (b), the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish includes LED constant current drive circuits 314a and 314b, hLED1 to hLED10 and the like, which are 10 full-color LEDs. The 10 full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, which is the side facing upward of the effect operation unit 300, whereas the LED constant current drive circuit 314a is mounted. , 314b are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, which is the side facing upward of the effect operation unit 300. When the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate shown in FIG. 168 (b) is rotated 90 degrees to the left (that is, the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is actually arranged along the decorative substrate 312a on the center of the plate). On the right side of the LED mounting surface 314x on the center of the dish along the upper end side 314eg1, a connector HCN for connecting the operation unit relay board 392 and the electrical wiring is mounted.

A white resist is solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate. In the present embodiment, the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is solid-painted with a white resist, and the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 emit light to the front (that is, the side facing upward of the effect operation unit 300). It is possible to increase the reflectance of the LED.

On the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 and the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged are completely printed as silk printing. It has not been. Further, on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, the substrate control number of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is not formed as a blank character by a white resist.

This is because the part number corresponding to the full-color LED and the region indicating the position where the full-color LED is arranged reduce the reflectance on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish due to the light emission of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. It is preventing that. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the reflectance on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate from being lowered by the light emission of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10.

Further, as described above, the decorative body 312a on the center of the plate of the unit front cover 312 shown in FIG. 91 provided on the door frame 3 is formed in a milky white color having translucency, but is in front of the pachinko machine 1. When the player sitting on the plate moves his / her head (face), the line of sight changes depending on the direction of the head (face). Even if the player can visually recognize the mounting surface 314x, in the first place, the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate has the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 and the full-color LED. Since the area indicating the position where the hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged is not printed as silk printing at all, the part number corresponding to the full-color LED which has nothing to do with the game for the player, and the position where the full-color LED is arranged. The area indicating the above is prevented from being visually recognized by the player. Therefore, the numbers that specify the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 (that is, the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10) and the auxiliary lines that indicate the mounting positions of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 (that is, the full-color LEDs). A region indicating a position where a certain hLED1 to hLED10 is arranged) can be made difficult for the player to see.

On the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, the part number corresponding to the connector HCN and the area indicating the position where the connector HCN is arranged are not printed at all as silk printing. This prevents the player from seeing the area indicating the connector HCN, the corresponding part number, and the position where the connector HCN is arranged, which has nothing to do with the game for the player.

Further, the entire LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is covered with a white resist. The hLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs, each package is made of white resin (a color recognized to be the same color as white), and the housing of the connector HCN is white (also called a natural color), and the housing is white (natural). It is made of resin (color) that is recognized to be the same color as (color). That is, the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is an electronic component having a package of the same color (a color recognized to be the same color) as the white resist that covers (solidally coats) the entire surface. HLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs, and a connector HCN having a housing of the same color (a color recognized to be the same color) as a white resist that covers the entire hLED1 to hLED10 are mounted. As described above, in the present embodiment, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) having no white color and connectors having no white color are completely mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. Not. In other words, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color reduce the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of full-color LEDs. Not implemented at all.

Further, on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, the substrate control number of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is a wire with a foil-free character (that is, a copper foil in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed). It is formed as a punched letter formed by making letters with a pattern and pulling out the copper foil around it), and the foil punched letters are formed by a white resist that is solidly painted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. It is covered. The wiring pattern forming the foil-free characters is electrically insulated from the electronic components. In addition, the board control number of the decorative board 314 on the center of the plate is replaced with the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative board 314 on the center of the plate, and the foil removal character (that is, the wiring pattern) is placed on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative board 314 on the center of the plate. In the layer (copper plane) on which the copper foil is formed, a character may be formed with a wiring pattern that is a copper foil, and the copper foil around the character may be removed to form a character), or the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish may be formed. Letters are created on the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish with a wiring pattern that is copper foil in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed. It may be formed as a blank character formed by pulling out the copper foil). Further, the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish are formed as solid earth as described later. For this reason, the board control number of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is a character with a wiring pattern that is copper foil in the foil removal character (that is, the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed), and the copper foil around it is removed. It is formed as a character without characters on either one or both of the solid earth of the LED mounting surface 314x and the solid earth of the LED non-mounting surface 314y, without forming as a character). May be.

It is printed in yellow (or black) (not shown) as printing.

Further, on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, the area corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is yellow (not shown as silk printing). The chain lines (or black chain lines) HSLK1 to HSLK10 are printed, and the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are printed in the vicinity of these areas HSLK1 to HSLK10 in yellow (or not shown) as silk printing. , Black) are printed respectively.

On the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, a yellow chain line (not shown as silk printing) indicating a position where the connector HCN mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is arranged is a yellow chain line. (Or black chain line) is printed, and the part number corresponding to the connector HCN is printed in yellow (or black), which is not shown as silk printing, in the vicinity of this area.

Further, the resistors and capacitors mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish do not have white color, and the constant current drive circuit 314ax (314bx) integrated on one semiconductor chip is the same. The package is made of black resin. As described above, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and ICs that do not have white color are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface because the reflectance due to the light emission of the full-color LED is lowered.

Further, on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, lighting inspections are individually performed on hLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate (for example). For each LED element that constitutes one full-color LED, the LED element that emits light in red (R), the LED element that emits light in green (G), and the LED element that emits light in blue (B)) Multiple check pins (not shown) that can be formed are formed as test pads (or through holes) that are connected to the wiring pattern, and the part numbers corresponding to each of the multiple check pins are not shown as silk printing in the vicinity of the multiple check pins. It is printed in yellow (or black). The check pins are not coated with white resist. As a result, the operator performing the inspection brings the probe (not shown) into contact with the check pin, so that the probe (not shown) and the check pin are electrically connected and conductive, and various inspections can be performed. Some of the plurality of check pins can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 314ax and the constant current drive circuit 314bx.

The LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate are formed as so-called solid earth in which the area excluding the land pattern and the wiring pattern such as electronic parts and connectors is grounded to the ground (GND). The solid earth formed on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish and the solid earth formed on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish are electrically connected by a plurality of through holes (not shown). There is.

In this embodiment, the electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color, which reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED, and the connectors that do not have white color are due to the light emission of the full-color LED. Since the reflectance on the LED mounting surface is reduced, it was not mounted on the LED mounting surface at all, but the area corresponding to the member arranged in front of the LED mounting surface generated by the light emission of the full-color LED is LED mounted. If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance on the surface, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color or connectors that do not have white color may be arranged in the region. In this case, on the LED non-mounting surface, an area indicating the position where electronic components and connectors are arranged is printed by a yellow chain line (or a black chain line) (not shown) as silk printing, and electrons are printed in the vicinity of this area. The component number corresponding to the component or connector is printed in yellow (or black) (not shown) as silk printing.

As described above, the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is formed in the shape of an elongated strip having a semi-arc shape. Therefore, the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate shown in FIG. 168 (b) is rotated 90 degrees to the left. When viewed (that is, the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is actually arranged along the decorative body 312a on the center of the plate), the upper end side 314eg1 to the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate on the LED mounting surface 314x. The width dimension extending up to is only about 1.78 times the width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx. Therefore, if the end edges of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged so as to be parallel to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the lands of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged. Since the distance dimension between the end edge of the pattern and the upper end side 314eg1 or the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish becomes extremely short, let's draw out the wiring pattern from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the end edge. Even so, since there is a limit on the minimum distance dimension in the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the adjacent spacing of the wiring patterns, it is difficult to draw out all the wiring patterns from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged at the end. ..

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the end sides of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged so as to be inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. Adopted the configuration.

In the present embodiment, by adopting such an arrangement, the left lower end side of the four end sides of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx is input when viewed from the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. By arranging the terminal on the input side closer to the upper end side 314eg1 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish so as to be the terminal on the side, the terminal on the input side is the first serial system on the door frame side (light emitting data SDAT1, clock signal SCLK1) shown in FIG. ), DC + 12V, ground (GND), maximum current setting circuit 314ay, 314by resistors Rr, Rg are input, and the upper left end side, upper right end side, and right lower end side are mainly output side 1 terminal to output side, respectively. The terminals 1 on the output side to the terminal 3 on the output side are the above-mentioned output channels LR1 to LR8, LG1 to LG8, LB1 to LB8, and the door frame side first serial system (light emitting data SDAT1, clock signal). SCLK1) etc. are output. The terminal on the output side 1 has a terminal on which the resistance Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 314ay and 314by is input, and the output side 2 and the output side 3 have a terminal on which ground (GND) is input. There is.

Further, by adopting such an arrangement, two of the four end sides of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. It can be arranged as a state, and the remaining two end sides can be arranged in a state of being inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. As a result, the minimum distance dimension is limited by the pattern width of the wiring pattern and the adjacent spacing of the wiring patterns from each lead pad of the land pattern arranged on the four ends of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx. Even, all wiring patterns can be drawn out. Therefore, it is possible to secure a region where wiring (wiring pattern) is drawn from the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx in the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish formed in the shape of an elongated strip having a semicircular arc shape.

Further, by adopting such an arrangement, the group 1 composed of the four full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED4 and the four full-color LEDs out of the eight full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED8. Since the constant current drive circuit 314ax can be arranged between the group 2 composed of hLED5 to hLED8, the length of the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 314ax to the group 1 and the group 2 is routed. The LED can be formed evenly. As a result, it is possible to prevent the length of the wiring pattern to be routed between the group 1 and the group 2 from becoming longer or shorter in a biased manner in either the group 1 or the group 2. It is possible to improve the efficiency of wiring pattern arrangement and routing in the work.

Further, by adopting such an arrangement, when the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish shown in FIG. 168 (b) is rotated 90 degrees to the left (that is, the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is on the center of the dish). A state in which the constant current drive circuit 314ax is actually arranged along the decorative body 312a) is a semi-arc-shaped central portion (full-color LED of FIG. 168 (b)) on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. The constant current drive circuit 314bx can be arranged closer to the right side than the portion where the hLED 6 is arranged, and the constant current drive circuit 314bx is placed in the semi-arc-shaped central portion (FIG. 168 (b)) on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. ), Which is closer to the left side than the part where the hdLED 6 which is a full-color LED is arranged), and is arranged to the left of the hLED8 which is a full-color LED configured in group 2 whose light emission is controlled by the constant current drive circuit 314ax. Can be done. As a result, it is possible to secure an area for routing the wiring pattern from the constant current drive circuit 314ax to the eight full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED8 on the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, and from the constant current drive circuit 314bx. A region for routing the wiring pattern to the two full-color LEDs hLED9 and hLED10 can be secured on the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish.

In this embodiment, in addition to the resistors Rr, Rg, and Rb of the maximum current setting circuits 314ay and 314by, a capacitor (not shown) is soldered to the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. The resistors Rr, Rg, Rb, and capacitors (not shown) are surface mount type (SMD) with a rectangular planar shape, and are in the so-called EIA format 0805 (named 2012, horizontal length: 2.0 mm, vertical length). S: 1.25 mm). That is, the sizes of the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb, and the capacitor (not shown) are compared with the sizes of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx (horizontal length: 6.0 mm, vertical length: 6.0 mm). Extremely small. Therefore, the resistors Rr, Rg, Rb and the capacitor (not shown) are different from the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx, and one end of the resistors Rr, Rg and Rb in the longitudinal direction is the upper end side of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. A capacitor (not shown) is arranged so as to be parallel to 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg, and one end side in the longitudinal direction thereof is perpendicular to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. It is arranged like this. In other words, the end sides of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx arranged so that the end sides of the land pattern are inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, and the resistor. Rr, Rg, Rb, and one end side of a capacitor (not shown) in the longitudinal direction are arranged on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish so as to be non-parallel.

Further, the end edges of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged so as to be inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, and 10 full-color LEDs. The hLEDs 1 to hLED10 are arranged in a semi-arc shape on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, which is closer to the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate when viewed from the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate. The constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged along the plate with a predetermined interval, whereas the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are closer to the upper end side 314eg1 of the decorative board 314 on the center of the dish when viewed from the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative board 314 on the center of the dish. A configuration was adopted in which the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate was placed on the LED non-mounting surface 314y. The constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are sink (suction) type as described above, like the constant current drive circuits 402bax and 402bbx of the decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side, and by sucking the constant current flowing through each LED element. I have a fever. Therefore, even in the central upper decorative substrate 314 formed in the shape of an elongated strip having a semicircular arc shape, the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx and the 10 full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are separated from each other. The heat generated by the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx can be less affected by the 10 full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10.

Further, the constant current drive circuit is arranged so that the end edge of the land pattern of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx is inclined by 45 degrees with respect to the upper end side 314eg1 and the lower end side 314eg2 of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. The edge of the land pattern of 314ax and 314bx is arranged so as to be parallel to the left edge and the right edge of the decorative board (that is, the door frame top center decorative board 455 and the door frame top left decoration of the door frame top decorative body 453). Compared to the board 456 and the door frame top right decorative board 457), the one in which the end edges of the land patterns of the constant current drive circuits 314ax and 314bx are arranged non-parallel to the left and right edges of the decorative board is the decorative board. The width dimension from the left end side to the right end side of is shorter. This can contribute to increasing the distance dimension in the left-right direction and the distance dimension in the front-rear direction of the staging operation unit 300, so that the large-scale staging operation unit 300 can be provided in the door frame 3 and the staging operation unit 300 can be provided.

[11-4-3. A pad on the bottom of the IC package of the constant current drive circuit]
As described above, the types of IC packages of the constant current drive circuits 402bax, 402bbx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b and the constant current drive circuits 314ax, 314bx of the decorative substrate 314 above the center of the dish are flat. It is a surface mount type having a square shape, and is a so-called VQFN. Here, the IC package of the constant current drive circuit 402bax of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b will be described with reference to FIG. 169.

A metal pad FP is exposed in the central portion of the bottom surface of the IC package of the constant current drive circuit 402bax, and a so-called Exposed Pad (hereinafter referred to as “EPad”) is formed. This IC package can be soldered to a substrate to improve heat dissipation and bondability.

In the land pattern of the constant current drive circuit 402bax, in addition to each lead pad, a land pattern EP for EPad having a square shape is provided. The land pattern EP for EPad is electrically connected to the solid ground of the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side. Nine thermal via TVs are arranged in a forming grid in the region of the land pattern EP for EPad. By these thermal via TVs, the land pattern EP for EPad and the solid earth formed on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b are electrically connected. Therefore, the wiring pattern from each lead pad cannot be drawn out in the area of the land pattern EP for EPad.

As described above, the constant current drive circuit 402bax is a sink (suction) type, and generates heat by sucking the constant current flowing through each LED element.

By diffusing, heat can be dissipated in the entire lower left side decorative substrate 402b.

To briefly explain the relationship between the EPad land pattern EP and the nine thermal via TVs, the junction region where the EPad (metal pad FP) of the constant current drive circuit is soldered to the EPad land pattern EP is a constant current. The number and diameter of the thermal via TVs are selected so as to be 50% or more of the EPad (metal pad FP) of the drive circuit. As a result, the joint region where the EPad (metal pad FP) of the constant current drive circuit and the land pattern EP for EPad are soldered does not become too large to prevent the generation of voids, and this joint region does not become too small and is stable. It is possible to obtain the desired bonding strength. It should be noted that the land pattern EP for EPad can be formed by dividing it into a grid pattern, but even in this case, in order to prevent the generation of voids and obtain stable bonding strength, as described above, the constant current drive circuit. The junction region where the EPad (metal pad FP) of the above is soldered to the land pattern EP for EPad needs to be 50% or more of the EPad (metal pad FP) of the constant current drive circuit.

Although it was not mounted on the LED mounting surface at all because the reflectance on the LED mounting surface is reduced by the LED, the area corresponding to the member arranged in front of the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED is the LED. If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance on the mounting surface, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color may be arranged in the region.

Some of the plurality of check pins can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 314ax and the constant current drive circuit 314bx.

On the other hand, on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the constant current drive circuit 314ax constituting the LED constant current drive circuit 314a, the resistors Rr, Rb, Rg of the maximum current setting circuit 314ay, various distributed resistors, etc. Areas indicating the positions where electronic components are placed are printed by solid yellow lines (or solid black lines) that are not shown as silk printing, and the part numbers corresponding to the electronic components are shown as silk printing in the vicinity of these areas. Not printed in yellow (or black) respectively.

In the third embodiment, the resistors and capacitors mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish do not have white color, and the constant current drive circuit 314ax integrated on one semiconductor chip ( The package of 314bx) is made of black resin. As described above, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and ICs that do not have white color are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface because the reflectance due to the light emission of the full-color LED is lowered.

Even in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the third embodiment, the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish are solidly coated with a white resist. As a result, the white resist coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish causes the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 to emit light and reflect forward (that is, the side facing upward of the staging operation unit 300). It is possible to increase the rate.

As described above, in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the first embodiment, the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b has a part number corresponding to the full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 and a full-color LED. The area indicating the position where the hdLED1 to hdLED10 are arranged is not printed at all as silk printing, and the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is a component corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. The number and the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged are not printed at all as silk printing, whereas in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the third embodiment, the left On the LED mounting surface 402bx of the side lower decorative substrate 402b, the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 are foil-free characters (that is, the wiring pattern in which the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed is copper foil). Each terminal and wiring pattern (not shown) are excluded from the area indicating the position where the hdLED1 to hdLED10, which are full-color LEDs, are arranged. It is formed as a foil removal region (that is, an region formed by removing the copper foil in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed, excluding each terminal and the wiring pattern), and is formed as a decorative substrate 402b on the lower left side. The foil-removed area and the foil-removed characters are covered with a solid white LED on the LED mounting surface 402bx, and the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is covered with hLED1 which is a full-color LED. ~ The part number corresponding to hLED10 is a foil removal character (that is, a removal character formed by making a character with a wiring pattern that is a copper foil in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed and removing the copper foil around it). In addition, the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged is in each terminal (not shown) and in the foil removal area (that is, the layer (copper plane) in which the wiring pattern is formed) excluding the wiring pattern (not shown). , Area formed by removing the copper foil except for each terminal and wiring pattern), and the foil removal area is solidly coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. And its foil-free characters It differs in that it is covered.

The white resist coated on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b can increase the reflectance to the front (that is, the front side of the pachinko machine 1) due to the light emission of the full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10. It has become like. Further, due to the white resist coated solidly on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the reflectance to the front (that is, the side facing upward of the staging operation unit 300) due to the light emission of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. Can be increased. Therefore, when the part number corresponding to the full-color LED and the area indicating the position where the full-color LED is arranged are printed in black as silk printing, the silk printing printed in black causes the LED to emit light from the full-color LED. The reflectance on the mounting surface is lowered, which causes a problem that the light emission of the full-color LED is not used efficiently. Further, various decorative bodies provided on the door frame 3 (for example, the dish upper left decorative body 271, the dish lower left decorative body 281, the dish upper right decorative body 276, the dish lower right decorative body 286, and the unit front cover 312 shown in FIG. 91. As described above, the dish center upper decorative body 312a and the dish center lower decorative body 312b, the door frame left side decorative body 404, the side window interior decorative member 412, the door frame right side decorative body 419, and the door frame top decorative body 453) are as described above. Although it is formed in a milky white color with translucency, the line of sight changes depending on the direction of the head (face) when the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 moves the head (face), so that the door frame 3 In some cases, the player can visually recognize the LED mounting surface of the various decorative boards provided in the various decorative bodies provided in the door. Then, there arises a problem that the player can visually recognize the part number corresponding to the full-color LED having nothing to do with the game and the area indicating the position where the full-color LED is arranged.

Therefore, in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the third embodiment, the part number corresponding to the full-color LED having nothing to do with the game for the player is formed as a foil-free character, and the player has nothing to do with the game. By forming an area indicating the position where the unrelated full-color LED is placed as a foil-removing area and covering the foil-removing character and the foil-removing area with a white resist that is solidly painted on the LED mounting surface, the full-color LED is formed. The LED wiring pattern, the foil removal area indicating the mounting position of the full-color LED (that is, the area indicating the position where the full-color LED is placed), the number that identifies the full-color LED (that is, the part number corresponding to the full-color LED), and Is formed of copper foil to have the same color, and is covered with a white resist formed on the LED mounting surface to indicate a foil removal area indicating the mounting position of the full-color LED (that is, a position where the full-color LED is placed). It can be difficult to find a number (that is, a part number corresponding to the full-color LED) that identifies the full-color LED.

Further, in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the third embodiment, the part number corresponding to the full-color LED having nothing to do with the game for the player is formed as a foil-free character, and the player has nothing to do with the game. By forming an area indicating the position where the unrelated full-color LED is placed as a foil-removing area and covering the foil-removing character and the foil-removing area with a white resist that is solidly painted on the LED mounting surface, the full-color LED is formed. It is possible to prevent the reflectance on the LED mounting surface from being lowered due to the light emission of the LED.

In the configuration of the countermeasures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the third embodiment, the same action and effect as the configuration of the measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the first embodiment can be obtained. That is, it is difficult for the player to see the number that identifies the full-color LED (that is, the part number corresponding to the full-color LED) and the foil removal area that indicates the mounting position of the full-color LED (that is, the area that indicates the position where the full-color LED is arranged). At the same time, it is possible to prevent the reflectance on the LED mounting surface from being lowered due to the light emission of the full-color LED.

Further, in the configuration of measures for reducing the reflectance according to the third embodiment, the process of silk printing on the LED mounting surface can be omitted, so that the substrate can be reduced by reducing the plate cost of silk printing and the number of manufacturing processes of the substrate. The manufacturing cost can be reduced.

In addition, in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the third embodiment, in the foil removing region indicating the mounting position of the full-color LED (that is, when forming the region indicating the position where the full-color LED is arranged as the foil removing region). , The polarity mark of the full-color LED may be added to clearly indicate the mounting orientation of the full-color LED.

Further, in the third embodiment, the electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color, which reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED, and the connector that does not have white light, emit light from the full-color LED. Although it was not mounted on the LED mounting surface at all because the reflectance on the LED mounting surface is reduced by the LED, the area corresponding to the member arranged in front of the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED is the LED. If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance on the mounting surface, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color may be arranged in the region. In this case, on the LED mounting surface, the area indicating the position where the electronic component or the connector is arranged is not shown for each terminal and the wiring pattern (not shown) is excluded from the foil removal area (that is, the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed). ), The area is formed by removing the copper foil except for each terminal and wiring pattern), and the part number corresponding to the electronic component or connector is not shown in the vicinity of this area. That is, in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed, a character is formed with the wiring pattern which is a copper foil, and the character is formed by removing the copper foil around the character).

Because the white resist of the first layer and the white resist of the second layer are shaded, the LED non-mounting surface of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b is passed through the white resist of the second layer. Looking at the 402-by substrate (the copper foil portion and the region excluding the copper foil portion, the same applies hereinafter), the white resist of the first layer looks pale. As a result, when looking at the base of the LED non-mounting surface 402by of the left side lower decorative substrate 402b through the white resist of the second layer, the white resist-free characters formed on the white resist of the first layer can be identified. It is also possible to identify the white resist-free region.

Then, the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate is a region (arrangement of predetermined pin numbers) indicating a position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged as the second time among the white resists coated twice. A region (notch portion) to be designated is included. For example, as a region corresponding to the hLED7 which is a full-color LED, the white resist removing region HSLK7 has a notch mark indicating the arrangement of the 5th pin of the hLED7 which is a full-color LED. A notch is formed at a corresponding position.) Is masked as white resist removing regions HSLK1 to HSLK10, and hLED1 which is a full-color LED in the vicinity of these white resist removing regions HSLK1 to HSLK10 to the right.

As a result, although two layers of white resist are formed on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the entire surface is covered with the white resist of the first layer and the white resist of the second layer is formed. By covering the entire area except the area masked by the resist, the masked area is recessed as a recess, and the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged is designated as the white resist-free area HSLK1 to HSLK10.

Since it is adopted, the white resist of the first layer and the white resist of the second layer are shaded, and the white resist of the second layer is passed through the white resist on the center of the dish to the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314. Looking at the base, the white resist of the first layer looks pale. That is, when the base of the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is viewed through the white resist of the second layer, the characters without the white resist in the white resist of the first layer can be identified. ing.

On the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, a region indicating the position where the connector HCN is arranged is formed as a white resist removing region (not shown), and a component corresponding to the connector HCN is formed in the vicinity of this region. The number is formed as a white resist-free character (not shown). In the fourth embodiment, as described above, the permeability of the white resist in the first layer and the permeability of the white resist in the second layer are the same, so that the first layer is used. Light and shade are generated between the white resist of the first layer and the white resist of the second layer, and when the base of the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is seen through the white resist of the second layer, the first layer The white resist on the eyes will appear pale. Thereby, when the base of the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is viewed through the white resist of the second layer, the white resist removing region in the white resist of the first layer can be identified. It has become.

Further, since the white resist is applied twice to the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the white resist-removed characters and the white resist-removed region in the white resist of the first layer and the second. The white resist of the layer and the refractive index of the light will change. As a result, when the base of the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is viewed through the white resist of the second layer, the white resist-removed characters and the white resist-removed region in the white resist of the first layer are identified. You can do it.

Further, the entire LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is covered with a white resist. The hLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs, each package is made of white resin (a color recognized to be the same color as white), and the housing of the connector HCN is white (also called a natural color), and the housing is white (natural). It is made of resin (color) that is recognized to be the same color as (color). That is, the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is an electronic component having a package of the same color (a color recognized to be the same color) as the white resist that covers (solidally coats) the entire surface. HLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs, and a connector HCN having a housing of the same color (a color recognized to be the same color) as a white resist that covers the entire hLED1 to hLED10 are mounted. As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) having no white color and the connectors having no white color are completely mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. It has not been. In other words, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color reduce the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of full-color LEDs. Not implemented at all.

Further, on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, lighting inspections of hLED1 to hLED10, which are full-color LEDs mounted on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the plate, are individually performed (for example, 1). It can be performed for each LED element for the LED element that emits light in red (R), the LED element that emits light in green (G), and the LED element that emits light in blue (B), which constitute one full-color LED. Multiple check pins (not shown) are formed as test pads (or through holes) connected to the wiring pattern, and the part numbers corresponding to each of the multiple check pins are not shown in the vicinity of the multiple check pins. Is formed as. The check pins are not coated with white resist. As a result, the operator performing the inspection brings the probe (not shown) into contact with the check pin, so that the probe (not shown) and the check pin are electrically connected and conductive, and various inspections can be performed. Some of the plurality of check pins can confirm the contents of serial data to the constant current drive circuit 314ax and the constant current drive circuit 314bx.

On the other hand, on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the constant current drive circuit 314ax constituting the LED constant current drive circuit 314a, the resistors Rr, Rb, Rg of the maximum current setting circuit 314ay, and various distributed resistors (not shown) are used. A region indicating a position for arranging electronic components such as the above is formed as a white resist removing region using a white resist coated twice like the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, and these regions are formed. The component number corresponding to the electronic component is formed in the vicinity as a white resist-free character using a white resist coated twice like the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish.

In the fourth embodiment, the transmission rate of the white resist of the first layer and the transmission rate of the white resist of the second layer on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish are the same. Because the white resist of the first layer and the white resist of the second layer are shaded, the LED non-mounting surface of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is passed through the white resist of the second layer. Looking at the base of 314y, the white resist of the first layer looks pale. As a result, when the base of the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is viewed through the white resist of the second layer, the white resist-free characters formed on the white resist of the first layer can be identified. It is also possible to identify the white resist-free region.

Further, since the white resist is coated twice on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the white resist-removed characters and the white resist-removed region in the white resist of the first layer and the white resist-removed region are present. The refractive index of the light of the second layer of white resist will change. As a result, when the base of the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is viewed through the white resist of the second layer, the white resist-removed characters and the white resist-removed region in the white resist of the first layer are identified. You can do it.

Further, the resistors and capacitors mounted on the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish do not have white color, and the constant current drive circuit 314ax (314bx) integrated on one semiconductor chip is the same. The package is made of black resin. As described above, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color are mounted on the LED non-mounting surface because the reflectance due to the light emission of the full-color LED is lowered.

Even in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the fourth embodiment, the LED mounting surface 314x and the LED non-mounting surface 314y of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish are solidly coated with a white resist. As a result, the white resist coated on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish causes the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 to emit light and reflect forward (that is, the side facing upward of the staging operation unit 300). It is possible to increase the rate.

As described above, in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the first embodiment, the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b has a part number corresponding to the full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 and a full-color LED. The area indicating the position where the hdLED1 to hdLED10 are arranged is not printed at all as silk printing, and the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish is a component corresponding to the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. While the number and the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged are not printed at all as silk printing, in the configuration of measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the fourth embodiment, the left On the LED mounting surface 402bx of the side lower decorative substrate 402b, the part numbers corresponding to the full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10 are formed as white resist-free characters using a white resist coated twice, and are full-color LEDs. The area indicating the position where the hdLED1 to hdLED10 are arranged is formed as a white resist removing area using a white resist coated twice, and further, a full-color LED is used on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish. The part number corresponding to a certain hLED1 to hLED10 is formed as a white resist-free character using a white resist coated twice, and the area indicating the position where the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10 are arranged is white painted twice. The difference is that it is formed as a white resist removing region using the resist of.

The white resist coated on the LED mounting surface 402bx of the lower left side decorative substrate 402b can increase the reflectance to the front (that is, the front side of the pachinko machine 1) due to the light emission of the full-color LEDs hdLED1 to hdLED10. It has become like. Further, due to the white resist coated solidly on the LED mounting surface 314x of the decorative substrate 314 on the center of the dish, the reflectance to the front (that is, the side facing upward of the staging operation unit 300) due to the light emission of the full-color LEDs hLED1 to hLED10. Can be increased. Therefore, when the part number corresponding to the full-color LED and the area indicating the position where the full-color LED is arranged are printed in black as silk printing, the silk printing printed in black causes the LED to emit light from the full-color LED. The reflectance on the mounting surface is lowered, which causes a problem that the light emission of the full-color LED is not used efficiently. Further, various decorative bodies provided on the door frame 3 (for example, the dish upper left decorative body 271, the dish lower left decorative body 281, the dish upper right decorative body 276, the dish lower right decorative body 286, and the unit front cover 312 shown in FIG. 91. As described above, the dish center upper decorative body 312a and the dish center lower decorative body 312b, the door frame left side decorative body 404, the side window interior decorative member 412, the door frame right side decorative body 419, and the door frame top decorative body 453) are as described above. Although it is formed in a milky white color with translucency, the line of sight changes depending on the direction of the head (face) when the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 moves the head (face), so that the door frame 3 In some cases, the player can visually recognize the LED mounting surface of the various decorative boards provided in the various decorative bodies provided in the door. Then, there arises a problem that the player can visually recognize the part number corresponding to the full-color LED having nothing to do with the game and the area indicating the position where the full-color LED is arranged.

Therefore, in the configuration of measures such as a decrease in reflectance according to the fourth embodiment, a white resist-free character using a white resist coated twice with a part number corresponding to a full-color LED that has nothing to do with the game for the player. By forming the area indicating the position where the full-color LED, which has nothing to do with the game for the player, as a white resist-free area using the white resist coated twice, the mounting position of the full-color LED is formed. It is difficult to find the white resist-free area (that is, the area where the full-color LED is placed) or the number that identifies the full-color LED (that is, the part number corresponding to the full-color LED). Can be done.

Further, in the configuration of measures such as a decrease in reflectance according to the fourth embodiment, a white resist-free character using a white resist coated twice with a part number corresponding to a full-color LED that has nothing to do with the game for the player. By forming the area indicating the position where the full-color LED, which has nothing to do with the game for the player, as a white resist-free area using the white resist coated twice, the full-color LED emits light. It is possible to prevent the reflectance on the LED mounting surface from decreasing.

In the configuration of the countermeasures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the fourth embodiment, the same action and effect as the configuration of the measures such as the decrease in reflectance according to the first embodiment can be obtained. That is, a white resist removal area using a double-coated white resist indicating a number that identifies the full-color LED (that is, a part number corresponding to the full-color LED) and a mounting position of the full-color LED (that is, a position where the full-color LED is placed). It is possible to make it difficult for the player to see the area (area showing), and it is possible to prevent the reflectance on the LED mounting surface from being lowered due to the light emission of the full-color LED.

Further, in the configuration of measures for reducing the reflectance according to the fourth embodiment, the steps of silk printing on the LED mounting surface and the LED non-mounting surface can be omitted, respectively, so that the printing plate cost and the substrate manufacturing of silk printing can be omitted. By reducing the number of processes, it is possible to contribute to reducing the substrate manufacturing cost.

In the fourth embodiment, the electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color, which reduces the reflectance on the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED, and the connector that does not have white light, emit light from the full-color LED. Although it was not mounted on the LED mounting surface at all because the reflectance on the LED mounting surface is reduced by the LED, the area corresponding to the member arranged in front of the LED mounting surface due to the light emission of the full-color LED is the LED. If it is difficult to contribute to the reflectance on the mounting surface, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors that do not have white color and connectors that do not have white color may be arranged in the region. In this case, a region indicating a position where electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) mounted on the LED mounting surface and a connector are arranged is formed as each terminal (not shown) and a white resist removing region (not shown), and in the vicinity of this region. In addition, electronic components such as resistors and capacitors (not shown) mounted on the LED mounting surface and component numbers corresponding to the connectors are formed as white resist-free characters (not shown).

Further, in the fourth embodiment, although two layers of white resist are formed on the LED mounting surface and the LED non-mounting surface of the decorative substrate, the entire surface is covered with the white resist of the first layer, and the first layer is covered. By covering the entire area except the area masked by the white resist of the second layer, the masked area is recessed as a recess, and the area indicating the position where the full-color LED or the connector is placed is formed as the white resist removing area. Although the part number corresponding to the full-color LED or the connector is formed as the white resist-removed character, another method may be used to form the white resist-removed region and the white resist-removed character. .. For example, an area indicating a position where a full-color LED or a connector is placed after a white resist is solid-coated on the LED mounting surface and the LED non-mounting surface of a decorative substrate only once or multiple times, and before the white resist dries. A method of forming as a white resist removing area by pressing the plate of the above, and forming as a white resist removing character by pressing the plate indicating the part number corresponding to the full color LED or the connector, the LED mounting surface of the decorative substrate and After the white resist is solidly applied to the LED non-mounting surface only once or multiple times, and after the white resist is dried, the area indicating the position where the full-color LED or the connector is placed is defined as the white resist removal area by laser irradiation. In addition to forming, a method of forming a part number corresponding to a full-color LED or a connector as a character without a white resist can be mentioned.

Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with various boards supplied from a power source from a power supply board and capable of controlling illuminations has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-192989 (FIG. 8)). By the way, in the game machine, a line for transmitting power to various boards and a line for transmitting control signals are routed, and the length of the line becomes long, so that various boards may be affected by external noise and malfunction. was there.

Further, conventionally, a gaming machine provided with a front frame configured to cover a window that opens the gaming board back and forth with a fluoroscopic protective plate has been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-192989 (paragraph [0014]). , And Fig. 1)). By the way, by enlarging the game area formed on the game board, the thickness of the left and right sides of the front frame becomes thinner, and the decorative substrate accommodated in the left and right sides also becomes a strip-shaped one. Further, by providing the display device and the movable body on the game board, the area occupied by the display device and the movable body in the game board becomes large, so that the decorative substrate provided on the game board also becomes a strip-shaped one. However, when the light emitting control means for controlling the light emitting means is provided on the strip-shaped decorative substrate, there is a problem that it is difficult to secure a region for drawing out the wiring from the light emitting control means to the light emitting means.

Further, conventionally, a gaming machine to which a decorative substrate on which a light emitting means is mounted is attached (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-154676 (paragraph [0019], FIG. 5)) has been proposed. The player is provided with a variational effect using the light emission effect by such a light emitting means. However, when the light emitted from the light emitting means is reflected on the mounting surface of the decorative substrate, the reflectance is lowered by a number specifying the light emitting means mounted on the decorative board, an auxiliary line indicating the mounting position of the light emitting means, and the like, and the decoration is made. It was difficult to make the substrate a bright light emitting surface.

[12. Game content]
The content of the game by the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 131 and the like. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game ball B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 is operated by the player by rotating the handle 182 of the handle unit 180 arranged in the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3. However, the game board 5 is driven into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and the game by the game ball B is started. The game ball B driven into the upper part of the game area 5a flows down either the left side or the right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the driving strength. The striking strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 182, and the more the handle is rotated in the clockwise direction, the stronger the striking can be. That is, the game ball B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted in front of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110) in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions, and the game ball B abuts on the obstacle nails N. As a result, the flow speed of the game ball B is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball B so that the movements can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail N, a wind turbine (not shown) that rotates due to the contact of the game ball B is provided at an appropriate position.

When the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the front view from the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, it comes into contact with a plurality of obstacle nails N while abutting against the plurality of obstacle nails N. It will flow down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500. Then, when the game ball B flowing down the area on the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2501 opened on the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500, it is supplied from the warp outlet 2502 to the stage 2503.

The game ball B supplied to the stage 2503 rolls on the stage 2503 and moves back and forth from side to side, and is discharged from the center in the left-right direction to the front. When the game ball B is released into the game area 5a from the center of the stage 2503, it is received by the first start port 2002 with a high probability because the portion is located directly above the first start port 2002. When the game balls B are received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Will be done.

The game ball B released from the stage 2503 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be accepted by the first start port 2002 or the general winning opening 2001 of the start port unit 2100.

By the way, if the game ball B that has flowed down to the left side of the center accessory 2500 does not enter the warp entrance 2501, it is moved toward the center side in the left-right direction by the side unit 2200 or the obstacle nail N, and the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200. Alternatively, it may be accepted by the first starting port 2002 of the starting port unit 2100, the general winning opening 2001, or the like. Then, when the game balls B are received in the general winning opening 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper plate 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. Will be done.

On the other hand, when the game ball B driven into the upper part of the center accessory 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest portion of the outer peripheral surface of the center accessory 2500 (so-called right-handed strike). , Is discharged to the upper part of the gate unit 2300 through the right side of the center accessory 2500. In addition to the gate portion 2003 of the gate unit 2300, this portion is provided with a second starting port 2004 of the center accessory 2500 and a general winning opening 2001, and passes through the gate portion 2003 with a certain probability.

Then, when the game ball B hit to the right passes through the gate portion 2003, a normal lottery is performed on the main control board 1310, and if the lottery normal lottery result is "normal hit", the second starting port is closed. The 2004 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 to 10 seconds), and the game ball B can be accepted into the second starting port 2004. Then, when the game balls B are received in the second starting port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of the game balls B are transferred from the payout device 580 to the upper plate 201 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. It will be paid out.

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate portion 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery until the result of the ordinary lottery is suggested (for example, 0). 0.01 to 60 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the normal lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5. The second starting port 2004 is normally opened after the lapse of the fluctuation time.

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

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

The special lottery results (first special lottery result and second special lottery result) drawn by accepting the game ball B to the first starting port 2002 and the second starting port 2004 are the special lottery results that generate an advantageous gaming state. In this case, after the lapse of the special fluctuation time, the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is in a state where the game ball B can be accepted in a predetermined opening / closing pattern. When the game ball B is received in the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 when the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 is open, the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 are received. A predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) of game balls B are dispensed from the payout device 580 to the upper plate 201. Therefore, when the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006 allows the game ball B to be accepted, it is often possible to have the first major winning opening 2005 or the second major winning opening 2006 accept the game ball B. The game ball B can be paid out, and the player can be entertained.

When the special lottery result is "small hit", the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is the game ball B for a predetermined short time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening / closing pattern is repeated a plurality of times (for example, twice) to close after the open state is acceptable. On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big hit", a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) after the first big winning opening 2005 or the second big winning opening 2006 is in an open state where the game ball B can be accepted. If either the progress or the acceptance of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B to the first prize opening 2005 or the second prize opening 2006 is satisfied, the game balls B cannot be accepted. The opening / closing pattern (one opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round) to be closed is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, 2 rounds for "2R jackpot", 5 rounds for "5R jackpot", and 15 rounds for "15R jackpot" are repeated to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player.

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

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

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

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

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

It is possible to perform a player participation type effect of operating the rotation operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301. In the player participation type production, the rotation operation unit 302 can be rotated or vibrated by the operation ring drive motor 342, the rotation operation can be assisted, the rotation operation can be hindered, and the operation button elevating drive motor can be used. The pressing operation unit 303 can be raised to stand out by 367, and the player participation type production can be enjoyed by operating the effect operation unit 301.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, each decorative board provided in the door frame 3, each decorative board provided in the game board 5, front effect unit 2600, lower movable effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, and upper rear It is possible to perform light emission effect, movable effect, etc. by appropriately using the movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc., and it is possible to entertain the player by various effects, and the player's game.

Notify the player to that effect. Specifically, for example, when the pressing operation of the central pressing operation unit 303a is required, the outer peripheral pressing operation unit 303b is pressed, or when the rotation operation unit 302 is rotated, the vibration speaker 354 vibrates. The effect display device 1600 may display to that effect.

Further, in the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to displaying the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the table effect unit of the table unit 2000 on the game board 5 according to the lottery special lottery result. It is possible to perform light emission effect, movable effect, display effect, etc. by appropriately using 2600, the lower movable effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, and the like. It is possible to entertain the player by various effects, and it is possible to suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game.

Incidentally, conventionally, a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine has a gaming area in which a game is played by driving a game medium by a player's operation, and a plurality of gaming machines planted in the gaming area in a predetermined gauge arrangement. Obstacle nails and multiple entrances (general winning opening, starting opening, variable winning opening (variable starting opening, large) that are allowed to accept game media in the game area and give benefits according to the acceptance of the game medium. It is equipped with a winning slot, a winning slot for a character, a V winning slot, etc.). Then, when the game medium is accepted at the entrance, benefits (payout of the game medium, occurrence of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous, etc.) are given, so that the game medium is sent to the reception for the player. It is possible to entertain the driving operation of the game medium so that it can be accepted.

As this type of gaming machine, a plurality of machines that are movably arranged in the vertical direction between the vicinity of the upper edge and the vicinity of the center in the front view gaming area, are rotatable around an axis extending in the front-rear direction, and protrude outward. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-279548) has been proposed. In the technique of this document, in the normal state, the rotating decoration is positioned near the upper edge, and the rotating decoration is lowered to the vicinity of the center according to the changing state of the game due to the game being played in the game area. By rotating, the plurality of rotating ornaments rotate in a state of protruding outward, and the whole becomes large, which can surprise the player and suggest the arrival of a chance to the player.

However, in the technique as described in the above document, in the normal state where the rotation is stopped, the plurality of rotating decorative bodies visible from the player side protrude outward due to the rotation, so that the whole becomes large. Since the appearance does not change significantly, some players may get tired of the production by multiple rotating decorations at an early stage, and the production may not be enjoyed, which may reduce the interest in the game. rice field.

[13. Various control processes on the main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. 153 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 175 to 177. FIG. 175 is a flowchart showing an example of the main control side power-on processing, FIG. 176 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the main control-side power-on processing of FIG. 175, and FIG. 177 is an example of the main control side timer interrupt processing. It is a flowchart which shows. First, various random numbers used for game control will be described, and then the operation of the initial value update type counter, the main control side power-on processing, and the main control side timer interrupt processing will be described.

[13-1. Various random numbers]
As various random numbers used for game control, a random number for determining a big hit to be used for determining whether or not to generate a big hit game state, and whether or not to generate a reach (out of reach) when the big hit game state is not generated. A random number for reach determination to be used for determination, and a variable display pattern to be used for determining a variable display pattern of a special symbol that is variablely displayed on the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400. A random number, a random number for a big hit symbol to be used for determining a big hit symbol derived and displayed by the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 when a big hit game state is generated, and this big hit. Large hit random number for determining the initial value of the random number for the symbol, random number for determining the initial value for the symbol, derived by the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 when generating the small hit game state A random number for a small hit symbol to be used for determining a displayed small hit symbol, a random number for determining an initial value for a small hit symbol to be used for determining an initial value of the random number for the small hit symbol, and the like are prepared. Further, in addition to these random numbers, a random number for determining whether or not to open and close the movable piece that can accept the game ball of the second starting port 2004, and a random number for determining whether or not the normal symbol hit is determined. Random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit judgment to be used for determining the initial value of the random number for normal, and normal for determining the variable display pattern of the normal symbol that is variablely displayed on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400. Random numbers for pattern variation display patterns are available.

Of the various random numbers used for such game control, the random numbers for jackpot determination are updated by the hardware, while the other various random numbers are updated by the software.

For example, the big hit determination random number is directly updated by the hardware by the main control built-in hard random number circuit built in the main control MPU 1310a. When the main control MPU1310a is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit first sets a value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value and preliminarily at high speed based on a clock signal input to the main control MPU1310a. When other values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another and all the values in the predetermined numerical range are extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again and the main control is performed. Other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed based on the clock signal input to the MPU 1310a. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeatedly performs such a high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU1310a uses the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of acquiring the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a random number for jackpot determination. It is designed to be set as.

On the other hand, the counter for updating the random number for normal symbol hit determination is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical value range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the range from the minimum value to the maximum value will be described later. Each time the main control side timer interrupt process is performed, the value is incremented by 1 to count up. This counter counts up from the random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination toward the maximum value, and then counts up from the minimum value toward the random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the normal symbol hit determination random number, the normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number is updated. Such a counter update method is called an "initial value update type counter". The random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal symbol hit can be obtained by executing the initial value lottery process for drawing one value from the fixed numerical value range of the counter that updates the random number for determining the normal symbol hit. ..

In this embodiment, when the RAM clear switch 1310f of the main control board 1310 is operated when the power is turned on, or when the main control side power is turned on, which will be described later, the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. The check sum value (sum value) obtained by calculating the total of various information stored in is regarded as a numerical value is the check sum value stored in the main control side power cutoff process (power down). When clearing the entire area of the main control built-in RAM, such as when it does not match the (sum value), the random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination is derived from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU1310a. An initial value derivation process is executed to always derive the same fixed value from the fixed numerical range of the counter that extracts the ID code and updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination based on the extracted ID code, and the derived fixed value is It is a mechanism to be set. That is, the random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination is always overwritten and updated with the same fixed value derived based on the ID code by executing the initial value derivation process. In this way, the value set in the random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination is derived using the ID code, and is a non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU1310a by the manufacturer of the main control MPU1310a. The ID code is stored by storing the ID code in the first security measure that the ID code cannot be rewritten even if an external device is used, and by executing the initial value derivation process when clearing the entire area of the main control built-in RAM. It is prevented from being analyzed by taking a second security measure of deriving the same fixed value based on the above and a two-step security measure by.

Here, an advantage of extracting an ID code from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a and using the extracted ID code as a random number for determining an initial value for normal symbol hit determination will be described. For example, a person who illegally obtains a game ball to be paid out as a prize ball obtains the game board 5 by some method, disassembles it, and inputs an ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a. Even if it is possible to grasp the timing at which the value of the counter that illegally acquires and updates the random value for normal symbol hit judgment and the normal symbol hit judgment value match, the ID code is unique for identifying the individual. Since the code is attached, the ID code is completely different from the ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a'provided with the other game board 5'. That is, in the other game board 5', the timing at which the value of the counter for updating the random number for normal symbol hit determination and the normal symbol hit determination value match is also completely different from that of the obtained game board 5. In other words, the ID code obtained by disassembling and analyzing the obtained game board 5 is completely useless in another game board 5', that is, another pachinko machine 1', so it was disassembled and analyzed. Even if a momentary power failure is generated at each predetermined interval obtained and the game ball is passed through the gate portion 2003 of the gate unit 2300 at each predetermined interval, the movable piece is opened and closed to open and close the game ball to the second starting port 2004. Cannot generate an acceptable gaming state.

[13-2. Main control side power-on processing]
First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU 1310a is configured so that the stack pointer is set at a predetermined address as a default. This stack pointer indicates, for example, the address stacked on the stack for temporarily storing the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or the return address of this routine when the subroutine is terminated and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for temporary storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked.

Under the control of the main control MPU 1310a, as shown in FIGS. 175 and 176, the main control side power-on processing is performed. When the main control side power-on processing is started, the main control MPU 1310a sets the RAM access permission (step S10). By setting this RAM access permission, the main control built-in RAM can be updated.

Following step S10, the main control MPU 1310a sets the initial value and the start setting of the main control built-in WDT (step S12). Here, the watchdog timer control register built in the main control MPU 1310a (hereinafter, "" It is described as "WDT control register"), the timer set value is set, the main control built-in WDT is started, and the time counting until the main control MPU 1310a is reset is started. When the main control built-in WDT is started, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is started, and the watchdog timer clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a is started until the time measured by the main control built-in WDT reaches the time set by the timer set value. Hereinafter, if the timer clear setting value is not set in the “WDT clear register”), the main control MPU1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. On the other hand, when the WDT with built-in main control is started and the time is started, if the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register before the time is reached by the time set by the timer setting value, the timer clear setting value is set. The timekeeping by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the timekeeping is started again. In this way, the operation (system) of the main control MPU1310a operates normally by repeating the process of clearing the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT until the time set by the timer set value is reached and starting the time measurement again. It is possible to monitor whether or not it is.

Following step S12, the main control MPU1310a performs a power failure clearing process (step S14). In this power failure clearing process, a wait timer process is performed to determine whether or not a power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e is input. The voltage does not rise immediately from the time the power is turned on until the specified voltage is reached. On the other hand, when a power failure or a momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped) occurs, the voltage drops, and when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure warning signal. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage between the time when the power is turned on and the voltage rises to the predetermined voltage, the power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e. Therefore, the wait timer process is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure warning voltage and stabilizes after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, 200 milliseconds (ms) is set as the waiting time (wait timer). Has been done.

Following step S14, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated (step S16). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM is cleared when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f is HI, and determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated. When the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f is LOW, it is determined that the RAM is cleared, and it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated.

In the determination in step S16, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is being operated, the main control MPU 1310a sets the value 1 in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S18). On the other hand, in the determination in step S16, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, the value 0 is set in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S20). That is, the main control MPU 1310a is in a state in which the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the main control built-in RAM) built in the main control MPU 1310a can be executed for a predetermined time from the time when the power is turned on. The RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG described above is stored in the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a, and is stored in the game information related to the game such as probability fluctuation and unpaid prize balls, and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls). It is a flag indicating whether to delete various information including information indicating the value of the information output judgment counter), and is set to a value of 1 when deleting various information and a value of 0 when various information is not deleted. .. The value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG set in steps S18 and S20 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a.

Following step S18 or step S20, the main control MPU1310a performs a wait time standby process (step S22). In this wait time standby process, the system that controls drawing of the peripheral control board 1510 is waiting until it starts (boots). In this embodiment, 2.5 seconds (s) is set as a waiting time (boot timer) until booting.

Following step S22, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S24). As described above, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure occurs or a momentary power failure occurs, when the voltage becomes equal to or lower than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e as a power failure warning. The determination in step S24 is performed based on this power failure warning signal. In the determination of step S24, when the main control MPU1310a determines that there is an input of the power failure warning signal, it returns to the determination of step S24 again, and repeats the determination of step S24 as long as the input of the power failure warning signal continues. As a result, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT started in step S12, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the time measurement is started again. The main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. After that, the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power-on processing again. A detailed description of the point that the determination in step S24 is performed following the wait time waiting process in step S22 will be described later.

In the determination in step S24, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 when it is determined that there is no input of the power failure warning signal (step S26). As described above, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when various information is erased and a value 0 when various information is not erased. In step S26, the main control MPU1310a calculates a checksum when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined not to erase various information (step S28). This checksum considers various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values and calculates the total.

Following step S28, in the main control MPU1310a, the calculated checksum value (sum value) is the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power off time processing (power off) described later. It is determined whether or not they match (step S30). In step S30, when the main control MPU1310a determines that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S32). The backup flag BK-FLG stores various information, checksum value (sum value), game backup information such as the backup flag BK-FLG value, etc. in the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power cutoff process described later. It is a flag indicating whether or not the power is turned off, and is set to a value of 1 when the main control side power cutoff process is normally completed and a value of 0 when the main control side power cutoff process is not normally completed. In the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, the checksum of step S28 is calculated and the determination of step S30 is performed when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection. , Will be described in detail later.

In the determination in step S32, when the backup flag BK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the main control side power cutoff process has been normally completed, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the power is restored from the main control built-in RAM. A work area is set (step S34). In this setting, the power recovery information is read from the ROM (that is, the main control built-in ROM) built in the main control MPU 1310a, and the power recovery information is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, various information is read from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the various information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition to the state where the power is turned on from the state where the power is cut off, the "recovery" is the state where the power is restored after the power failure or momentary power failure, and the fraudulent means (for example, the cheating person is on the hem of the arm). The state in which the main control board 1310 is irradiated with the high frequency from the hidden high frequency output device) and the main control MPU 1310a itself is reset and then restored is also included.

Following step S34, the main control MPU1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to a value of 0 (step S36). As a result, various information, checksum value (sum value), etc. are changed by performing various subsequent processes. Therefore, the backup flag BK-is normally terminated when the main control side power is turned off, which will be described later. If the value 1 is not set in FLG, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM will be cleared, as will be described later.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S26, the main control MPU1310a mainly determines when the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined to erase various information, or in the determination in step S30. When the control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or when the determination in step S32, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not a value 1 (value 0). That is, when it is determined that the main control side power off processing has not been normally completed, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared (step S38). Here, the main control MPU 1310a is performed by writing a value 0 to the main control built-in RAM. The main control MPU 1310a may read a predetermined value from the main control built-in ROM as an initial value and set it. Further, in the main control MPU 1310a, the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f indicates RAM clear, and when various information is erased, when the sum values do not match, or on the main control side. When the power off processing is not normally completed, the unique ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU1310a is taken out, and the random number for normal symbol hit determination is updated based on the taken out ID code. An initial value derivation process that always derives the same fixed value from the fixed numerical value range of the counter is performed, and this fixed value is used to determine the initial value of the above-mentioned normal symbol hit judgment random number. Set to a random number for determination.

Following step S38, the main control MPU 1310a sets the work area of the main control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S40). This setting is performed by reading the initial information from the main control built-in ROM and setting this initial information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, the game backup information is initialized, and for example, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter is set (set) to the initial value 0.

Following step S36 or step S40, the main control MPU1310a performs interrupt initial setting (step S42). This setting sets the interrupt cycle when the main control side timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 4 milliseconds (ms).

Following step S42, the main control MPU1310a performs serial communication initial setting (step S44). Here, various serial input / output ports built in the main control MPU 1310a (for example, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel) for the payout control board 633, serial input / output ports (reception channel and transmission channel) for the peripheral control board 1510). ), The communication speed is set and the presence / absence of parity is set in the transmission serial port prescaler, and the initialization of the transmission circuit and the transmission permission are set in the transmission serial port control register.

Following step S44, the main control MPU 1310a sets the test signal output port initialization (step S46). Here, in a gaming machine test institution, a test signal output port (not shown) for outputting various inspection information is initialized (set to OFF data output) when the power is turned on.

Following step S46, the main control MPU1310a sets the activation of the main control built-in hard random number circuit (step S48). Here, among various random numbers related to the game, the random number for determining the jackpot used for determining whether or not to generate the jackpot game state is stored in the hard random number control register built in the main control MPU1310a in order to be updated by the hardware. In addition to making settings such as latching and acquiring random numbers, the start of the main control built-in hard random number circuit is set in the hard random number setting register. When the main control built-in hard random number circuit is activated by these settings, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU1310a without duplication, and are predetermined. When all the values in the numerical range have been extracted, one value in the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the numerical range predetermined at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU1310a. Extract other values in one after another without duplication. When the main control MPU1310a acquires a random number (random number value) from the main control built-in hard random number circuit, it outputs a latch signal to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the main control built-in hardware when this latch signal is input. The random number (random number value) extracted by the random number circuit is acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU1310a. The main control MPU 1310a sets the acquired random number value as a random number for jackpot determination.

Following step S48, the main control MPU1310a sets a reservation for a command to be transmitted when the power is turned on (step S50). Here, in order to convey that the power has been turned on (recovered) based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on. The transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is created as the transmission information by creating the power-on status command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball count information output judgment counter notification command. Remember in. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, various information may be read from the game backup information and various commands corresponding to the various information may be stored. be. In such a case, first of all the various information, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information The output judgment counter notification command will be sent. These commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later. A detailed description of the fact that the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is set in step S50 will be described later.

Following step S50, the main control MPU1310a sets the interrupt enable setting (step S52). With this setting, the interrupt cycle set in step S42, that is, the main control side timer interrupt process described later is repeatedly performed every 4 ms.

Following step S52, the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S54). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage falls below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e to the main control MPU 1310a as a power failure warning. Will be done. The determination in step S54 is performed based on this power failure warning signal.

In the determination in step S54, when the main control MPU1310a determines that there is no input of the power failure warning signal, the non-winning random number update process is performed (step S56). In this non-winning random number update process, the above-mentioned random number for reach determination, random number for variable display pattern, random number for determining initial value for big hit symbol, random number for determining initial value for small hit symbol, and the like are updated. In this way, in the non-winning random number update process, the random numbers that are not related to the winning determination (big hit determination) are updated by the software. The above-mentioned random number for determining normal symbol hit, random number for determining initial value for determining normal symbol, random number for normal symbol variation display pattern, and the like are also updated by this non-winning random number update process.

Following step S56, the process returns to step S54 again, and the main control MPU1310a determines whether or not there is a power failure warning signal input. If this power failure warning signal is not input, the non-winning random number update process is performed in step S56. Then, steps S54 to S56 are repeated. The processes of steps S54 to S56 are referred to as "main control side main process".

On the other hand, in the determination in step S54, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input, the main control MPU1310a sets the interrupt prohibition setting (step S58). With this setting, the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later, is not performed, writing to the main control built-in RAM is prevented, and the above-mentioned rewriting of various information including game information and other information is protected.

Following step S58, the main control MPU1310a starts outputting a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same process as the process in which the output of the power failure clear signal is started is performed in the power failure clear process in step S14.

Following step S60, the main control MPU 1310a stops the drive signals output to, for example, various indicators of the function display unit 1400, the start port solenoid 2514, the first attacker solenoid 2515, the second attacker solenoid 2516, and the like ( Step S62).

Following step S62, the main control MPU1310a calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S64). This checksum calculates the total of the game information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM, excluding the storage area of the checksum value (sum value) and the backup flag BK-FLG value described above, as numerical values.

Following step S64, the main control MPU1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to a value of 1 (step S66). This completes the storage of the game backup information.

Following step S66, the main control MPU1310a sets RAM access prohibition (step S68). This RAM access prohibition setting makes it impossible to access the main control built-in RAM, so that it is possible to prevent the contents of the main control built-in RAM from being updated.

Following step S68, an infinite loop is entered. In this infinite loop, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT started in step S12, the time counting by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the time counting is started again. The main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. After that, the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power-on processing again. The process of steps S58 to S68 and the infinite loop are referred to as "main control side power cutoff process".

The pachinko machine 1 (main control MPU1310a) is reset when there is a power failure or when there is a momentary power failure, and when the power is restored thereafter, the main control side power-on processing is performed.

In step S30, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM is normal, and then in step S32, whether or not the main control side power cutoff process is normally completed. Is inspecting. In this way, by double-checking the game backup information stored in the main control built-in RAM, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information is stored by fraudulent activity.

Here, it will be described that the presence / absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is determined following the wait time standby process in step S22. First, regarding the problem in the case where the presence / absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is not determined, that is, the case where the value of the RAM clear flag in step S26 is determined following the wait time standby process in step S22 and the subsequent processing is proceeded. The problem in is explained.

As described above, the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, is connected to the electrolytic capacitor MC2 shown in FIG. 162 when the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a power failure or a momentary power failure. The charged charge is applied as DC + 5V over a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after a power failure or momentary power failure occurs. That is, even if the power supply from the island equipment of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure, the electric charge charged to the hardware called the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as DC + 5V, so that the island of the game hall is island. It is possible to complete the power cutoff process on the main control side within a period of about 7 ms after the power supply from the equipment is cut off. This is because a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs when the player is playing a game, that is, when the main control side main process or the main control side timer interrupt process described later is performed, and the island equipment of the game hall When the power supply from the main control side is cut off, the main control side power supply cutoff process can be reliably completed.

However, as an extremely rare phenomenon, in the wait time standby process of step S22 at the time of power recovery, the waiting time until the system that controls the drawing of the peripheral control board 1510 starts (boots) (boot timer: in this embodiment). 2.5 seconds is set.) If a momentary power failure or power failure occurs just before the standby time is reached, a hardware called electrolytic capacitor MC2 is connected to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU1310a. Although the charged charge is applied as DC + 5V, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42 within a period of about 7 ms, and then the interrupt permission setting is performed in step S52. Even if the timer interrupt processing is performed and the contents of the main control built-in RAM are updated, the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing may not be completed. Therefore, the value obtained by calculating the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is not stored, and the main control side power-on processing is started again at the time of power recovery.

Then, at the time of this power recovery, the main control side power-on processing is started, the wait time standby processing in step S22 is completed without the occurrence of a momentary power failure or a power failure, and then the main control built-in RAM is completed in step S28. When the value calculated based on the contents of the above and the value stored in the main control built-in RAM immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs are compared and judged in step S30, the checksum values should match. Instead, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is cleared in step S38. In other words, the RAM clear switch 1310f is forcibly stored in the main control built-in RAM even if the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated by a staff member such as a game hall clerk at the time of power recovery and there is no intention display by the game hall clerk staff member such as RAM clear. There is a problem that the above-mentioned game backup information is deleted (cleared).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input, the process is provided. The determination in step S24 is returned again, and the determination in step S24 is repeated as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input. As a result, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT started in step S12, the time measurement by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the time measurement is started again. The main control MPU 1310a can be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT. Although the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set in step S18 or step S20 before the wait time standby process of step S22 is performed, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is mainly set as described above. Since it is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU 1310a, the contents (game information) of the main control built-in RAM are not changed at all even if the RAM access permission is set in step S10.

In this way, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input (that is, step). When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process in S22), the determination in step S24 is returned again and as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input. By repeating the determination in step S24, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 can be forcibly reset and the main control board 1310 can be restarted. Therefore, the game can be advanced. It is possible to prevent various information including game information and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter) from being updated, and the check sum calculation result. Is designed so that it does not fluctuate. As a result, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is restarted, it is determined that the calculation result of the checksum in step S28 and the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64 match. Therefore, there is no need to initialize the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure that is stored and held in the main control built-in RAM. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game information immediately before the occurrence of a momentary power failure or a power failure from being initialized at the time of power recovery.

Further, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, a process for determining whether or not a power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is not input (that is, in step S22). When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is not cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process), the pachinko machine is being played while the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is proceeding with the game. Even if the power supply to 1 is cut off, the game information and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls) due to the progress of this game can be obtained by supplying power to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU1310a, by the electrolytic capacitor MC2. The main control board performs the processing of steps S58 to S68, which is the backup processing for storing various information including information indicating the value of the information output determination counter, and the main control side power cutoff processing composed of an infinite loop. Since the main control MPU 1310a of the 1310 can be completed, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control MPU 1310a is restarted, the checksum calculation result of step S28 and the checksum calculation in the backup process are performed. Since it is determined that the result (that is, the value calculated and stored in the checksum of step S64) matches, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure that is stored in the main control built-in RAM is stored. Never initializes. That is, the main control board 1310 can be started by being restored to the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or the power failure occurs.

Further, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure warning signal is input, the main control built-in WDT forcibly resets the main control MPU 1310a to contents the main control built-in RAM. While the main control side power cutoff process can be started again without updating at all, when it is determined in step S24 that the power failure warning signal has not been input immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, so far. As you can see, it is possible to reliably complete the power cutoff process on the main control side within the "power supply securing period in the event of a momentary power failure or power failure" of about 7 ms by the hardware. That is, in the present embodiment, the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or a power failure while the main control side power-on processing is being performed at the time of power recovery, and the main control is performed. The charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the MPU 1310a, as DC + 5V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after a power failure or momentary power failure occurs. Therefore, if the main control side power cutoff process cannot be completed within the "instantaneous power failure or power supply securing period" of about 7 ms by the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22. It is determined in step S24 whether or not the power failure warning signal is input, and when the power failure warning signal is input, the determination returns to the determination in step S24 again, and as long as the power failure warning signal is continuously input, the determination in step S24. By repeating the above steps, the timer clear setting value is set in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT started in step S12, the time measured by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the time is measured again. The main control MPU 1310a can be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT because it cannot be started.

The main control MPU1310a is forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT by such software, so that the step after step S24 (specifically, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42, and then in step S52. The contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls) by blocking the progress to the main control side timer interrupt process described later by setting interrupt enable. We have adopted a mechanism that can prevent various information) including information indicating the value of the information output judgment counter) from being updated. When the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a power failure or momentary power failure in this way, the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize ball number information output determination)) Various information including information indicating the value of the counter) is covered by software so that it will not be changed at all, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and game information) by surely completing the main control side power cutoff process. By configuring it in two parts, a part covered by hardware so that other information (for example, various information including information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter) is not changed at all). , The contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information, and various information including other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter)) are surely prevented from being changed. Can be done.

Next, the point that the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is set in step S50 will be described. In step S50, as described above, in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34, the power is turned on (recovery) based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. In order to convey, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information output determination counter notification command are created and the main control is built-in as transmission information. Stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM. This power-on main control return destination command is mainly composed of information indicating the drive state of the start port solenoid 2514 and information indicating the drive state of the first attacker solenoid 2515 and the second attacker solenoid 2516. .. Here, first, the main control return destination command at power-on includes information indicating the drive state of the start port solenoid 2514 and information indicating the drive state of the first attacker solenoid 2515 and the second attacker solenoid 2516. The problem in the case where the power is not set, that is, the problem in the case where the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the main control return destination command at the time of power-on is turned on is not performed in step S50 will be described.

For example, when the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the big hit game state screen (for example, the big hit game effect screen) in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310 drives the first attacker solenoid 2515. Then, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs when the first large winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening / closing member, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 is in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the setting, the first attacker solenoid 2515 is started to be driven by being restored to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. The first major winning opening 2005 will shift from the closed state to the open state by the opening / closing member.

However, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers at the time of power recovery, so that a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. However, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs while the main control board 1310 is generating a big hit gaming state as a gaming state, and then power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 will be subjected to the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if the screen can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and returned according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state instructed by the power-on state command received from, the jackpot game state. It is not possible to display at all which round of the throat. That is, for example, a game ball enters the first big prize opening 2005 and is detected by the first big winning opening sensor 2512, and one count of the large winning openings telling the number of the game balls entered in the first big winning opening 2005. Even if the main control board 1310 sends a display command to the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral control board 1510 receives it, the peripheral control board 1510 enters the first prize opening 2005 on the screen according to the probability and the time saving state. Even if the number of balls of the game ball can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, it is not possible to display at all which round (that is, the number of rounds) of the jackpot game state.

In such a situation, the main control board 1310 stops driving the first attacker solenoid 2515, for example, when the fourth round (fourth round) of the big hit game state is completed, and the first big winning opening 2005 is an opening / closing member. The main control board issues a large winning opening 1 closing display command instructing the transition from the open state to the closed state (that is, the start of closing of the first major winning opening 2005 of the attacker unit 2100). When the transmission is transmitted from 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 and the main control board 1310 starts the fifth round (fifth round) of the big hit game state, the first attacker solenoid 2515 is started to be driven and the first big winning opening 2005 is started. Main control of the large winning opening opening 5th display command instructing the transition from the closed state to the open state by the opening / closing member (that is, the opening start of the 5th round of the 1st major winning opening 2005). It is transmitted from the board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510. As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 finally switches the screen of starting 5 rounds of the big hit game state from the screen corresponding to the above-mentioned probability and time saving state and displays it in the display area of the effect display device 1600.

Further, for example, a screen telling the player that the game ball is in a game state in which the game ball can be accepted to the second start port 2004 and that the game state is advantageous to the player (for example, the player indicates that the movable piece is open). The main control board 1310 drives the start port solenoid 2514 to open the movable piece while the peripheral control board 1510 displays and controls the display in the display area of the effect display device 1600. When a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs while the 2004 is open, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 uses the main control built-in RAM in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery information set in the work area, the start port solenoid 2514 is started to be driven and the movable piece is closed by restoring the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. (Ii) The start port 2004 will be closed.

However, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers at the time of power recovery, so that a momentary power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can be restored based on the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. However, when the main control board 1310 is in a gaming state in which the gaming ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004 as a gaming state and a gaming state advantageous to the player is generated, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 displays a screen according to the probability and the time saving state based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery. Even if it can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and returned, the game state is such that the game ball can be accepted to the second starting port 2004, and the game state is advantageous to the player. The peripheral control board 1510 cannot display the screen to be transmitted in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at all. For this reason, the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine is surprised that a momentary power failure or power failure has occurred, and the game ball is received at the second starting port 2004 immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs at the time of power restoration. In some cases, it may be forgotten that the game state is possible, and in such a case, the game state is returned to the game state in which the game ball can be accepted to the second starting port 2004 as the game state at the time of power recovery. Nevertheless, the game is not displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at the time of power recovery (that is, the screen instructing the game to enter the game ball into the second starting port 2004). There was also the problem of not knowing what kind of game a person would play.

As described above, in the above-mentioned two examples, there is a problem that the gaming state immediately before a momentary power failure or a power failure cannot be quickly restored after the power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of a pachinko machine misunderstands that a momentary power failure or power outage occurs, and when the power is restored after that, the pachinko machine system looks like it is in a frozen state and has failed. There was a problem.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure), a power-on state command is used. And the power-on main control return destination command to the peripheral control board 1510, in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on time. A counter notification command for determining the output of the main prize ball number information is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, these commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later.

As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 is based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command received from the main control board 1310, for example, in the above-mentioned example, in the four rounds of the jackpot gaming state. When a momentary power failure or power failure occurs and then the power is restored, the drive of the first attacker solenoid 2515 is started as the return destination of the main control board 1310, and the first prize opening 2005 is closed by the opening / closing member. Since it is possible to inform the peripheral control board 1510 that the state will be changed to the open state, the peripheral control board 1510 is a screen (that is, how many rounds) that specifies that it is the 4th round of the jackpot game state. Although it is not possible to display the screen showing A screen telling the player that he / she is in a state (for example, "It is a big hit. The big winning opening is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the big winning opening." The screen) can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 to instruct the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine to enter the game ball into the first prize-winning opening 2005 after the power is restored. Further, for example, in the above-mentioned example, in a state in which the game ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004 and the game state is favorable to the player, a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs, and then When the power is restored to, the screen telling that the drive of the start port solenoid 2514 is started to open the movable piece and the second start port 2004 is opened as the return destination of the main control board 1310. For example, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the message "The movable piece is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the second starting port.") On the peripheral control board 1510. It is possible to instruct a player who sits in front of the pachinko machine by displaying it in the display area to play a game in which the game ball is inserted into the second starting port 2004 after the power is restored.

As a result, when a momentary power failure or a power failure occurs and the power is restored after that, the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 can be finely instructed on the main control board 1310 side. Therefore, it is possible to quickly return to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after the power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of a pachinko machine misunderstands that the pachinko machine's system seems to be in a frozen state and has failed when a momentary power failure or power outage occurs and then the power is restored. It can be prevented.

Next, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, the check sum of step S28 when the main control board 1310 is first turned on after being manufactured for inspection. The calculation and the determination in step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, the main control board is composed of the above-mentioned backup processes, steps S58 to S68, and an infinite loop. Since the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has never executed the control side power cutoff process, even if the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM is calculated in step S28, in step S30. In the comparison determination, the checksum values cannot match, and the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is surely cleared in step S38.

As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on is made in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information By creating an output judgment counter notification command and storing it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, a power-on state command, a power-on main control return destination command, and a power-on main prize ball Only three commands, the counter notification command for determining the number information output, are stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. Then, in these commands, in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later, the power-on state command is first transmitted, then the power-on main control return destination command is transmitted, and then the number of main prize balls at power-on. The information output judgment counter notification command is sent. Utilizing this, in the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, the power-on state command is issued as the first command from the main control board 1310. It will be transmitted to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process.

By the way, when the power is turned on, the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated when the power is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure). Information to indicate that when clearing the RAM, and when the power is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on, but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure). Information indicating which of the low-probability time-saving state, high-probability time-saving state, low-probability non-time-saving state, and high-probability non-time-saving state (probability and time-saving state) is to be restored, and the model code of the pachinko machine. It consists of the information shown and. Here, a problem will be described when the power-on state command does not include information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine.

The model code of the pachinko machine is the copyright of which work when creating the so-called max type, middle type, and amadeji type as the pachinko machine 1 (to be exact, the main control board 1310). In addition to the game specifications (for example, when a probability change occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs), the number of times the special symbol changes is limited (for example, 30 times or 70 times). It is possible to specify whether or not the game specification (so-called ST machine), etc., in which the probability fluctuation occurs in the state of)).

In the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured, the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works may coexist. Then, the worker of the production line is responsible for the copyright of any of the copyrights of the multiple types of works (for example, the copyrights of the works A, Movie B, Drama C, Movie D, Manga E, and Manga F). It is difficult to know whether the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line in order to manufacture the control board 1310, or the main control board for one copyright (for example, the copyright of the work called movie D) among the copyrights of multiple types of works. Although the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line to manufacture the 1310, the main control board 1310 is used to manufacture the main control board 1310 for other copyrights (for example, the copyright of the work called Manga F). There are also beliefs and misunderstandings that it is flowing to the production line.

For this reason, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the worker of the manufacturing line is on the manufacturing line. It is not possible to confirm which work the manufactured main control board 1310 is for the copyright of which work, and for the copyright of the same work, any model type (max type, middle type, or Amadeji type). It is also not possible to confirm whether it is a type) and what kind of game specification (a game specification or ST machine that, when a probability fluctuation occurs, the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs).

As a result, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured on the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, if the main control board 1310 for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is mixed. The 1310 will be sent to the game board assembly line for mounting the main control board 1310 on the game board 5 with the 1310 mixed. Therefore, the worker of the game board assembly line may attach the main control board 1310, which does not correspond to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work, to the game board 5. As a result, there is a problem that the production efficiency of the game board 5 is lowered.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the model code of the pachinko machine is used when the main control board 1310 is turned on (including not only when the power is turned on but also when the power is restored due to a power failure or a momentary power failure). In order to transmit the power-on state command including the information indicating the power-on to the peripheral control board 1510, in step S50, the power-on state command classified into power-on, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on A counter notification command for determining the output of the main prize ball number information is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, these commands are transmitted in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which will be described later.

As a result, the worker of the production line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1 turns on the main control board 1310 in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line, so that the inspection device becomes the main control board 1310. Based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from, that is, the above-mentioned max type, middle type, indicating the model type, which constitutes the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine. And a series code for specifying which type of Amadeji type, a copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and a game specification (for example, when a probability fluctuation occurs, the next big hit game state will be In addition to the game specification that the state is continued until it occurs, the game specification code for specifying the game specification (ST machine) that the probability fluctuation occurs when the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is limited, and the game specification code. By visually observing the detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor based on the above, it is possible to determine which work the main control board 1310 is for the copyright of which work, and which of the same work is copyrighted. What type of machine (max type, middle type, and Amadeji type), and what kind of game specifications (when probability fluctuations occur, that state will continue until the next big hit game state occurs. It is also possible to determine whether it is a game specification or ST machine).

As a result, when the main control board 1310 is manufactured in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310 for the copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board inspection process of the manufacturing line is performed. By visually observing the inspection monitor and accurately determining the model type of the main control board 1310, the copyright of the work, and the game specifications, the worker can sort each of the main control boards 1310 for the copyright of the work and succeed. It can be sent to the game board assembly line. Then, the worker of the game board assembly line can surely attach the main control board 1310 corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work to the game board 5, and the main control board not corresponding to the game board 5 to the copyright of the work. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the production efficiency of the game board 5 caused by the work of attaching the 1310 to the game board 5. Therefore, it can contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5.

[13-3. Main control side timer interrupt processing]
Next, the timer interrupt processing on the main control side will be described. This main control side timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (4 ms in this embodiment) set in the main control side power-on time process shown in FIGS. 175 and 176.

When the main control side timer interrupt process is started, the main control MPU 1310a switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 177 (step S100). The general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a has two register banks composed of a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main processing in the main control side power-on processing described above, while the second register bank is used in the main control side timer interrupt processing which is this routine. In step S100, since the second register bank is used in the timer interrupt process on the main control side, which is the routine, the second register bank from the first register bank used in the main control main process in the power-on process on the main control side is used. Switch the register bank to the register tank of. In this embodiment, it is not necessary to save each register on the stack when the main control side timer interrupt process, which is the routine, is started.

Following step S100, the main control MPU1310a performs a timer subtraction process (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, the time during which the first special symbol display and the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 are lit according to the fluctuation display pattern determined by the special symbol and the special electric accessory control process described later. In addition to the time when the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is lit according to the normal symbol variation display pattern determined by the normal symbol and the normal electric accessory control process described later, the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) transmits. When determining whether or not a payer ACK signal indicating that the payout control board 633 has normally received various commands is input, time management such as the ACK signal input determination time set as the determination condition is performed. .. Specifically, when the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 4 ms, so that the fluctuation time is subtracted by 4 ms each time the timer subtraction process is performed. Then, when the subtraction result becomes a value of 0, the fluctuation time of the fluctuation display pattern or the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern is accurately measured.

In this embodiment, the ACK signal input determination time is set to 100 ms. Each time this timer subtraction process is performed, the ACK signal input determination time is subtracted by 4 ms, and the subtraction result becomes a value of 0, so that the ACK signal input determination time is accurately measured. These various times and the ACK signal input determination time are stored in the time management information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as time management information.

Following step S102, the main control MPU1310a performs a switch input process (step S104). In this switch input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Specifically, the main control MPU 1310a is, for example, a detection signal from the gate sensor 2301, a detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, a detection signal from the first start opening sensor 3002, and a detection from the second start opening sensor 2511. Signal, detection signal from first prize opening sensor 2512, detection signal from second prize opening sensor 2513, detection signal from magnetic sensor 3003, operation signal from RAM clear switch 1310f (RAM clear signal), which will be described later. The payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that conveys that the payout control board 633 has normally received the prize ball command transmitted in the prize ball control process is read, and the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is used as input information. Remember in. Further, when the detection signal from the first start port sensor 3002 and the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2511 are read, the start port winning command corresponding to the other is used as transmission information in the main control built-in RAM. Stored in the transmission information storage area. That is, when there is a detection signal from the detection signal from the first start port sensor 3002, the corresponding start port winning command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and the second start is started. When there is a detection signal from the mouth sensor 2511, the corresponding start mouth winning command is stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information.

In this embodiment, when the switch input process is started in the state where all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are input (including the one to which the empty terminal process is performed). First, each is read as the first time, and after a predetermined time (for example, 10 μs) has elapsed, each is read again as the second time. Then, the result read for the second time and the result read for the first time are compared. It is determined whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the third time, and the result read in the third time is compared with the result read in the second time. It is determined again whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is not the same, it is read again as the fourth time, and the result read in the fourth time is compared with the result read in the third time. It is determined again whether or not any of the comparison results has the same result. If the result is the same, it is treated as if there is no game ball.

In this way, in the switch input processing, the state of being input to all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a (including the one to which the empty terminal processing is performed) is set for the first to third times. It is possible to avoid erroneous detection due to the influence of chattering, noise, etc. by performing a total of two readings, a double reading for comparison and a double reading for comparison over the second to fourth times. Therefore, the detection signal from the gate sensor 2301, the detection signal from the general winning port sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first start port sensor 3002, the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2511, the first Detection signal from the large winning opening sensor 2512, detection signal from the second winning opening sensor 2513, detection signal from the magnetic sensor 3003, operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f, prize ball control processing described later. It is possible to improve the reliability of the payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that conveys that the payout control board 633 has normally received the prize ball command transmitted in.

Following step S104, the main control MPU1310a performs an input terminal defect monitoring process (step S105). In this input terminal defect monitoring process, among the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU1310a, the state of which the empty terminal process is performed is performed based on the information acquired in the switch input process of step S104. Specifically, for example, since the input terminal PA7 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a is grounded to the ground (GND) as an empty terminal process, the logical state is always LOW. Therefore, in the input terminal defect monitoring process, information acquired in the switch input process in step S104 is performed to determine whether or not the logical state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal process is performed is LOW among the input terminals of various input ports. Do based on. The main control MPU 1310a is classified into a notification display indicating that a problem has occurred in the peripheral circuit of the main control MPU 1310a when it is determined that the logical state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal processing is performed is not LOW. The malfunction command is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S105, the main control MPU1310a performs a winning random number update process (step S106). In this winning random number update process, the above-mentioned random number for the big hit symbol and the random number for the small hit symbol are updated. Further, in addition to these random numbers, the random number for determining the initial value for the jackpot symbol, which is updated by the non-winning random number update process in step S56 in the main control side power-on processing (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 176, And the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol is also updated. These random numbers for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random numbers for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are updated in the main control side main process and the main control side timer interrupt process, respectively, to further enhance the randomness. .. On the other hand, since the big hit symbol random number and the small hit symbol random number are random numbers related to the winning determination (big hit determination), each counter counts up only every time the winning random number update process is performed. The above-mentioned random number for determining the normal symbol hit and the random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal symbol hit are also updated by this winning random number update process.

For example, the counter that updates the random number for normal symbol hit determination is an initial value update type counter as described above, and is updated within a predetermined fixed numerical value range from the minimum value to the maximum value, and this minimum value. The range from to the maximum value is counted up by adding a value of 1 each time the main control side timer interrupt process is performed. The random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination is counted up toward the maximum value, and then the random number for determining the initial value for normal symbol hit determination is counted up from the minimum value. When the counter finishes counting up the range from the minimum value to the maximum value of the random number for normal symbol hit determination, the random number for determining the initial value for big hit determination is updated by this winning random number update process. The random number for determining the initial value for determining the normal symbol hit can be obtained by executing the initial value lottery process for drawing one value from the fixed numerical value range of the counter that updates the random number for determining the normal symbol hit. ..

In the present embodiment, the random number for determining the initial value for the big hit symbol and the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol are not used in step S56 in the main control side power-on processing (main control side main process) shown in FIG. 176. The random number is updated in the random number update process and the random number update process in step S106 in the main control side timer interrupt process, which is the routine, but the processing time of this routine becomes uneven each time the interrupt timer occurs. If the number of executions of the non-winning random number update process in step S56 becomes random by repeatedly executing the main control side main process within the remaining time until the interrupt timer is generated, the random number for determining the initial value for the jackpot symbol , And the random number for determining the initial value for the small hit symbol may be updated only in the non-winning random number update process in step S56.

Following step S106, the main control MPU1310a performs a prize ball control process (step S108). In this prize ball control process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and a prize ball command for paying out a game ball is created based on this input information, or a main control board 1310 and a payout control board 633 are used. Create a self-check command to check the connection status between the boards. Then, the created prize ball command and self-check command are transmitted to the payout control board 633 as the main payment serial data. For example, when one game ball enters the first major winning opening 2005, a prize ball command is created to pay out 15 balls as a prize ball, and the number of game balls to be paid out as a prize ball is 10 balls. In order to convey that fact, the output of the main prize ball number information output signal is set, stored in the output information storage area as output information, and the prize ball command is transmitted to the payout control board 633. Self-check to check the connection status between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 when the payer ACK signal indicating that the payout control board 633 has normally received the prize ball command is not input within the specified time. Create a command and send it to the payout control board 633.

Further, in the prize ball control process in step S108, when the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls has reached 10 based on the input information read from the above-mentioned input information storage area. In order to convey that fact, a main prize ball number information output command, which is classified into other categories, is created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information. The main prize ball number information output command is created based on the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter. The value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter is based on the input information read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, that is, the general winning opening 2001 and the first starting opening 2002 provided in the game board 5. , Second start opening 2004, first big winning opening 2005, second big winning opening 2006, and other various winning openings (hereinafter referred to as "various winning openings provided in the game board 5"). Based on the above, the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as prize balls is counted, and in the prize ball control process of step S108, the information is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. It has become. In the prize ball control process of step S108, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the read main prize ball number information output determination counter is read. The input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls is added to the value of, and the value indicating the added number of balls is the value 10. When the number exceeds (that is, when the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls has reached 10), a main prize ball number information output command is created to inform that fact, and as transmission information. It is stored in the output information storage area, and the value indicating the excess number of balls is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the above-mentioned main control built-in RAM as the value of the counter for determining the number of main prize balls. It has become.

Following step S108, the main control MPU1310a performs frame command reception processing (step S110). The payout control board 633 transmits various 1-byte (8-bit) commands (for example, a frame state 1 command, an error release navigation command, and a frame state 2 command) classified into status displays. In the frame command reception process, when various commands are normally received as payer serial data, information to convey that fact to the payout control board 633 is stored as output information in the output information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, the main control MPU1310a formats the command normally received as the payer serial data into a 2-byte (16-bit) command (various commands classified into status display (frame status 1 command, error release navigation command,). And frame state 2 command)), it is stored in the transmission information storage area described above as transmission information.

Following step S110, the main control MPU1310a performs fraud detection processing (step S112). In this fraud detection process, an abnormal state related to the prize ball is confirmed. For example, when the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area and the detection signal from the first big prize opening sensor 2512 is input when the big hit game state is not obtained (the game ball enters the first big winning opening 2005). When), etc., a prize-winning abnormality display command that is classified as a notification display as an abnormal state is created and stored in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information.

Following step S112, the main control MPU1310a performs a special symbol and special electric accessory control process (step S114). In this special symbol and special electric accessory control process, a latch signal is output to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the random number (random number value) extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit when the latch signal is input is mainly used. It is acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the control MPU 1310a, and the acquired random number value is set as a random number for jackpot determination. Then, it is determined whether or not the random number for jackpot determination (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310a) and the jackpot determination value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM match. (Determining whether or not to generate a jackpot game state (referred to as "special lottery")) or taking out the value of the counter that updates the random number for the jackpot symbol and determining the probability variation hit stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM. It is determined whether or not it matches the value (determination of whether or not a probability fluctuation is generated).

Here, the "probability fluctuation" means that the probability of a big hit changes to a high probability (probability change time) set higher than that in the normal time (low probability). In the present embodiment, the value 32668 to the value 32767 are set as the range of the jackpot determination value (big hit determination range) with a low probability, and are read from the normal time determination table, whereas the value 31768 to the value with a high probability is set. 32767 is set and is read from the probability change determination table. As described above, in the special symbol and special electric accessory control process in step S114, the big hit determination random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU1310a) and the main control built-in ROM are stored in advance. When determining whether or not the stored jackpot determination value matches, the jackpot determination random number (that is, the random number value acquired from the hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU1310a) is included in the jackpot determination range. It depends on whether or not it is done.

When these determination results are based on the first start port sensor 3002, various commands related to the special drawing 1 tuning effect are created, while when the lottery result is based on the second start port sensor 2511, special features are created. FIG. 2 Various commands related to the synchronization effect are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, and the first special symbol display or the second special symbol of the function display unit 1400 is stored according to the determined variation display pattern of the special symbol. The output of the lighting signal to the first special symbol display or the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to turn on the display, and the output information is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area. In addition, depending on the game state to be generated, for example, when a big hit game state is reached, various commands classified as big hit related commands (big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 open Nth display command, big winning opening 1 closed display command, big hit opening command, big winning opening 1 closed display command, big winning opening 1 closed display command A winning opening 1 count display command, a jackpot ending command, and a jackpot symbol display command) are created and stored in the transmission information storage area as transmission information, or, for example, driven to the first attacker solenoid 2515 to open / close the opening / closing member. When the signal output is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area, or when the number of times (round) that the first prize opening 2005 is changed from the closed state to the open state is two times, the round of the function display unit 1400. The output of the lighting signal to the 2-round indicator lamp is set to turn on the 2-round indicator lamp of the display, and it is stored in the output information storage area as output information, or when the round is 15 times, the function display unit 1400 The output of the lighting signal to the 15-round indicator lamp is set to turn on the 15-round indicator lamp of the round indicator, and it is stored in the output information storage area as output information, and the presence or absence of probability fluctuation is lit in a predetermined color. The output of the lighting signal to the status display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to be set, and stored in the output information storage area as output information.

Following step S114, the main control MPU1310a performs a normal symbol and a normal electric accessory control process (step S116). In this ordinary symbol and ordinary electric accessory control process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and gate winning processing is performed based on this input information. In this gate winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not the detection signal from the gate sensor 2301 has been input to the input terminal of the input port. Based on this determination result, when the detection signal is input to the input terminal of the input port, the value of the counter that updates the above-mentioned normal symbol hit determination random number is extracted and used as gate information for the gate of the main control built-in RAM. Store in the information storage area.

The gate information storage area is provided with a 0th section to a 3rd section (4 sections), and gate information is stored in the order of the 0th section, the 1st section, the 2nd section, and the 3rd section. It has become like. For example, when the gate information is stored in the 0th to 2nd sections of the gate information storage, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 2301 is input to the input terminal of the input port, the gate information is stored in the third section of the gate information storage. Store in parcel.

The gate information stored in the 0th section of the gate information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When this gate information is set, the gate information of the first section of the gate information storage is in the 0th section of the gate information storage, and the gate information of the second section of the gate information storage is in the first section of the gate information storage. The gate information of the third section of the information storage is shifted to the second section of the gate information storage, and the third section of the gate information storage becomes an empty area. For example, when the gate information is stored in the first to second sections of the gate information storage, the gate information of the first section of the gate information storage is stored in the 0th section of the gate information storage, and the gate information is stored in the 0th section. The gate information of the two sections is shifted to the first section of the gate information storage, and the second section of the gate information storage and the third section of the gate information storage become empty areas. Here, when the gate information is stored in the first to third sections of the gate information storage, the normal hold indicator of the function display unit 1400 is turned on with the total number of the stored gate information as the hold ball. The output of the lighting signal of the normal hold indicator of the function display unit 1400 is set based on the gate information, and is stored in the output information storage area described above as output information.

Following the gate winning process, the gate information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the value of the random number for normal symbol hit determination is taken out from the read gate information and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM. It is judged whether or not it matches the judgment value per normal symbol (referred to as "normal lottery"). Whether or not to open and close the movable piece is determined based on this determination result (lottery result by ordinary lottery). When the opening / closing operation is performed by this determination, the movable piece is in the open operation state, so that the game ball can be accepted into the second starting port 2004, which is advantageous to the player. The variation display pattern of the normal symbol corresponding to this determination is determined based on the above-mentioned random number for the normal symbol variation display pattern, various commands classified to be related to the normal symbol tuning effect are created, and the transmission information storage described above is performed as transmission information. While storing in the area, the output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to light the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined fluctuation display pattern of the normal symbol, and the output information. Is stored in the output information storage area described above.

Further, for example, when the value of the extracted normal symbol hit judgment random number matches the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, various commands related to the normal electric role effect are created and transmitted. While storing as information in the transmission information storage area, the output of the drive signal to the start port solenoid 2514 is set so as to open and close the movable piece, and the output information is stored in the output information storage area described above, while being taken out normally. When the value of the symbol hit determination random number does not match the normal symbol hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, the normal symbol variation display pattern is determined based on the above-mentioned normal symbol variation display pattern random number. , Create various commands classified in relation to the normal symbol synchronization effect, store them in the above-mentioned transmission information storage area as transmission information, and turn on the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined normal symbol variation display pattern. The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to be stored in the output information storage area described above as output information.

Following step S116, the main control MPU1310a performs port output processing (step S118). In this port output process, output information is read from the output information storage area described above from the output terminals of various output ports of the main control MPU 1310a, and various signals are output based on this output information. The main control MPU 1310a outputs a main pay ACK signal when the various commands from the payout control board 633 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a based on the output information, for example. To the start port solenoid 2514 that outputs a drive signal to the first attacker solenoid 2515 that opens and closes the opening and closing member of the first big winning opening 2005, and opens and closes the movable piece when it is in the big hit game state. In addition to outputting the drive signal, 15 round big hit information output signal, 2 round big hit information output signal, probability fluctuation information output signal, special symbol display information output signal, normal symbol display information output signal, time saving medium information output signal , Various information (game information) signals related to the game such as the start opening winning information output signal are output to the payout control board 633.

Following step S118, the main control MPU1310a performs peripheral control board command transmission processing (step S120). In this peripheral control board command transmission process, transmission information is read from the transmission information storage area described above, and this transmission information is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as main peripheral serial data. This transmission information is classified into various commands classified in the special figure 1 tuning effect-related, various commands classified in the special figure 2 tuning effect-related, and jackpot-related, which are created by the main control side timer interrupt process of this routine. Various commands to be executed (for example, when a game ball entered in the first big prize opening 2005 is detected, the big winning opening 1 corresponding to the big winning opening count command based on the detection signal from the first big winning opening sensor 2512 Count display command), various commands classified as power-on, various commands classified as related to normal electric power production, various commands classified as normal electric function production, various commands classified as notification display, status display Various commands to be classified, various commands to be classified for testing, and other various commands to be classified (for example, based on a game ball in which the main control board 1310 is inserted into various winning openings provided in the game board 5). Every time the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls reaches 10, the main prize ball number information output signal is transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558 as the main prize ball number information. The main prize ball number information output command, etc.) is stored. One packet of the main peripheral serial data is composed of 3 bytes. Specifically, the main peripheral serial data has a status indicating the type of a command having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), a mode indicating a variation of an effect having a storage capacity of 1 byte (8 bits), and a status. And the sum value calculated by regarding the mode as a numerical value and the sum, and this sum value is created at the time of transmission.

In this peripheral control board command transmission process, various commands are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which configure various commands as main peripheral serial data. As described above, the charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as DC + 5V to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, in the event of a power failure or a momentary power failure. The main peripheral serial transmission port built in the main control MPU 1310a at least transfers the command set in the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register by the serial management unit, and completes transmission from the transmission shift register as main peripheral serial data. Can be done. When the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, or when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure after the power is turned on, transmission is performed when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 176. In the reservation setting of the command to be executed, in order to notify that the power has been restored, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball count information output determination counter are used. Since the notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, the status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command are stored as main peripheral serial data in that order. It is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, then to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configures the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and then the main prize ball number information when the power is turned on. The output determination counter notification command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value. In the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, various information is read from the game backup information in the setting of the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the main control side power-on processing, and the various information is supported. Various commands may be stored. In such a case, first of all the various information, after the transmission of various commands according to the game information is completed, the power-on state command, the power-on main control return destination command, and the power-on main prize ball number information The output judgment counter notification command will be sent.

Following step S120, the main control MPU 1310a clears the main control built-in WDT (step S122), and ends this routine. The main control built-in WDT in step S122 is cleared by setting the timer clear set value in the WDT clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, the timekeeping by the main control built-in WDT is cleared. Then, by restarting the time counting by the main control built-in WDT, the main control MPU 1310a does not have to be forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT.

As described above, the main control board 1310 is a backup for storing the game information due to the progress of the game before the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off during the progress of the game. The process can be executed and completed, and at the time of power recovery, the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off based on the game information in which the backup process is executed as the return destination of the game progress by the main control board 1310. When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command at power-on that indicates the drive state of the start port solenoid 2514 and the first attacker solenoid 2515, which are the electrical drive sources by the port output process of step S118 in this routine, is sent to the peripheral control board 1510. It can be output. That is, the main control board 1310 has the main control built-in RAM in step S34 in the same process shown in FIG. 175 in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 176. Power-on state command, which is classified as power-on, to notify that the power has been turned on (restored) based on the power-on information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM in the work area setting of. A command for returning to the main control at power-on and a counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls at power-on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In the peripheral control board command transmission process, the main peripheral serial data is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command, and then the main control return destination when the power is turned on. The command is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 in the order of status, mode, and sum value, and then the status, mode, and sum value that configures the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball count information output when the power is turned on. It is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order.

Therefore, the peripheral control board 1510 displays the display area of the effect display device 1600 as the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 at the time of power recovery, based on the main control return destination command when the power is turned on from the main control board 1310. Can be displayed in the production. As a result, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs while the player is playing a game, and then the power is restored, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure is restored immediately after the power is restored. At the same time, the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 can be displayed and notified in the display area of the effect display device 1600, so that the system of the pachinko machine 1 is in a solid state, that is, a frozen state. It is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for a failure. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from being mistaken for a failure by promptly returning to the gaming state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after the power is restored.

Further, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the production line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, as described above, FIG. 175 shows. In step S38 in the main control side power-on processing shown, the entire area of the main control built-in RAM is surely cleared. As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of power-on is made in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of power-on in step S50 in the same process shown in FIG. , When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on are created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Only three commands, the status command, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and the counter notification command for determining the main prize ball number information output when the power is turned on, are stored in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. In the peripheral control board command transmission process in step S120 in this routine, the main control board inspection device is used as the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the power-on state command as main peripheral serial data. It sends, then sends to the inspection device of the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configures the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and then outputs the main prize ball number information when the power is turned on. Judgment counter Sends to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value that configure the notification command. The inspection device in the main control board inspection process constitutes information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine, that is, based on the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine included in the power-on state command received from the main control board 1310. , The series code for specifying which of the above-mentioned max type, middle type, and Amadeji type indicating the model type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specifications. (For example, when a probability fluctuation occurs, in addition to the game specification that the state is continued until the next big hit game state occurs, the game specification that the probability fluctuation occurs in a state where the number of fluctuations of the special symbol is limited (ST). Based on the game specification code for specifying the machine), etc.), detailed model information is displayed on the inspection monitor of the main control board inspection process.

[14. Various control processes for payout control boards]
Next, various control processes performed by the payout control board 633 shown in FIG. 153 will be described with reference to FIGS. 178 to 181. FIG. 178 is a flowchart showing an example of the power-on processing of the payout control unit, FIG. 179 is a flowchart showing the continuation of the power-on processing of the payout control unit of FIG. 178, and FIG. 180 shows the payout control unit following FIG. 179. It is a flowchart which shows the continuation of the power-on processing, and FIG. 181 is the flowchart which shows an example of the payout control unit timer interrupt processing. First, the payout control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described.

[14-1. Dispensing control unit power-on processing]
First, when the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the payout control unit power-on processing is performed as shown in FIGS. 178 to 180 under the control of the payout control unit 633a on the payout control board 633. .. When the payout control unit power-on processing is started, the payout control MPU633aa sets the interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode sets the priority of the interrupt of the payout control MPU633aa. In the present embodiment, the payout control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is set to have the highest priority, and when an interrupt of the payout control unit timer interrupt process occurs, the process is preferentially performed.

Following step S500, the payout control MPU633aa performs input / output settings (I / O input / output settings) (step S502). In this I / O input / output setting, various input ports and various output ports of the payout control MPU633aa are set.

Following step S502, the payout control MPU633aa performs wait timer processing 1 (step S506) and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S508). The voltage does not rise immediately from the time the power is turned on until the specified voltage is reached. On the other hand, in the event of a power failure or momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped), the voltage drops, and when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. To. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage between the time when the power is turned on and the voltage rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310. Therefore, the wait timer process 1 in step S506 is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the power failure warning voltage and stabilizes after the power is turned on. In the present embodiment, the waiting time (wait timer) is 200 milliseconds (waiting timer). ms) is set. The determination in step S508 is performed based on the power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310.

Following step S508, the payout control MPU633aa determines whether or not the RAM clear switch 1310f of the main control board 1310 is operated (step S512). This determination is based on the logic of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f, and does not indicate that the RAM is cleared when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f is HI. It is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, while it is determined that the RAM clear is instructed when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch 1310f is LOW. Then, it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated.

In the determination of step S512, when it is determined that the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated, the payout control MPU633a sets a value 1 in the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG (step S514). That is, the payout control MPU633aa is in a state in which the RAM clear process for initializing the RAM (that is, the payout control built-in RAM) built in the payout control MPU4120a can be executed for a predetermined time from the time when the power is turned on.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S512, when the payout control MPU633aa determines that the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 0 (step S516). The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU633aa, for example, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, and the like (for example, a prize ball information storage area). The logical state of the PRDY signal stored in the prize ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. stored in the CR communication information storage area is set. It is a flag indicating whether or not to delete the payout information related to the payout of the PRDY signal output setting information, etc.), and is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased and a value 0 when the payout information is not erased. The payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG set in steps S514 and S516 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU633aa.

Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control MPU633aa is set to allow access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S518). With this setting, the RAM with built-in payout control can be accessed, and for example, payout information can be written (stored) or read out.

Following step S518, the payout control MPU633aa sets the stack pointer (step S520). The stack pointer indicates, for example, the address stacked on the stack for temporarily storing the contents of the storage element (register) in use, or temporarily returns the return address of this routine when the subroutine is terminated and returned to this routine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked. In step S520, the initial address is set in the stack pointer, and the contents of the register, the return address, and the like are pushed onto the stack from this initial address. Then, the stack pointer returns to the initial address by reading in order from the last stacked stack to the first stacked stack.

Following step S520, the payout control MPU633aa determines whether or not the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0 (step S522). As described above, the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is set to a value 1 when the payout information is erased and a value 0 when the payout information is not erased.

In the determination of step S522, the payout control MPU633aa calculates the checksum when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the payout information is not erased (step S524). This checksum regards the payout information stored in the payout control built-in RAM as a numerical value and calculates the total.

Following step S524, the payout control MPU633aa determines whether or not the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in the payout control unit power cutoff process (when the power is turned off), which will be described later. (Step S526). In step S526, when it is determined that the payout control MPU633aa matches, it is determined whether or not the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1 (step S528). The payout backup flag HBK-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not the payout backup information such as the payout information and the checksum value is stored and held in the payout control built-in RAM in the payout control unit power cutoff process described later, and is paid out. The value is set to 1 when the power cutoff process of the control unit is normally completed, and to 0 when the power cutoff process of the payout control unit is not normally completed.

In the determination of step S528, when the payout control MPU633aa determines that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that the payout control unit power cutoff process is normally completed, the payout control built-in RAM is used as the time of power recovery. The work area of (step S530) is set. In this setting, in addition to setting the value 0 to the payout backup flag HBK-FLG, the power recovery information is read from the ROM built in the payout control MPU633aa (that is, the payout control built-in ROM), and the power is restored. The information is set in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM. As a result, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas, etc. (for example, prizes stored in the prize ball information storage area), which are the above-mentioned payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM. Ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, inconsistency counter INCC, etc., PRDY signal output setting information in which the logical state of the PRDY signal is set, stored in the CR communication information storage area, Information used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout of the inconsistency counter reset determination time stored in the time management information storage area. The term "recovery" includes not only the state in which the power is turned on from the state in which the power is cut off, but also the state in which the power is restored after the power failure or momentary power failure.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S522, the payout control MPU633aa determines that the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, that the payout information is to be erased, or in the determination of step S526. When the payout control MPU633aa determines that the checksum values do not match, or in the determination of step S528, the payout control MPU633aa determines that the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is not a value 1 (value is 0), that is, When it is determined that the payout control unit power cutoff process has not been normally completed, the entire area of the payout control built-in RAM is cleared (step S532). As a result, the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is cleared.

Following step S532, the payout control MPU633aa sets the work area of the payout control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S534). This setting reads the initial information from the payout control built-in ROM and sets this initial information in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S530 or step S534, the payout control MPU633aa performs an interrupt initial setting (step S536). This setting sets the interrupt cycle when the payout control unit timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 2 ms.

Following step S536, the payout control MPU633aa sets interrupt enable (step S538). With this setting, the payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every 2 ms, that is, the interrupt cycle set in step S536.

Following step S538, the payout control MPU633aa sets the value A in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S539). The watchdog timer is set to clear by setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL.

Following step S539, the payout control MPU633aa determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S540). When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage falls below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is sent from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. Entered. The determination in step S540 is performed based on this power failure warning signal.

In the determination of step S540, the payout control MPU633aa determines whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1 when it is determined that there is no input of the power failure warning signal (step S542). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag for timing 2 ms by the timer interrupt process of the payout control unit, which is processed every 2 ms, which will be described later. Set.

In the determination of step S542, when the 2ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has not elapsed, the payout control MPU633aa returns to step S540, and the payout control MPU633aa receives a power failure warning signal. Determine if it has been done.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S542, when the 2ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has elapsed, the payout control MPU633aa sets the value 0 to the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG (step S544). ).

Following step S544, the payout control MPU633aa sets the value B in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S546). At this time, the value B is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value A set in step S539.

Following step S546, the payout control MPU633aa performs port output processing (step S548). In this port output process, various information is read from the output information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and various signals are output from the output terminals of the various output ports of the payout control MPU633aa based on the various information. In the output information storage area, for example, payer ACK information indicating that various commands (prize ball command and self-check command) related to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received, and drive control to the payout motor 584 are performed. Various information such as drive information, prize ball number information of the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, and LED display information displayed on the error LED display 633c is stored, and payout is performed based on this output information. When various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the control MPU633aa, the payer ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310 or the drive signal is output to the payout motor 584. Or, the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is output to the external terminal board 558 as a prize ball number information output signal (in the present embodiment, the payout motor 584 actually pays out 10 game balls. A prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal board 558 each time it is paid out.

Specifically, a counter for determining the number of prize balls information for determining whether or not to output the number of prize balls information is provided, and the payout motor 584 actually uses the counter for determining the number of prize balls information. The number of game balls paid out to is counted based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, and the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584. Is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM by a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring.

In a process (program) (not shown) for monitoring the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584, the prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM Based on the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 in the port input process of step S550 described later, the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is added to the value and stored and updated.

In the port output process of step S548, the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter is read from the prize ball information storage area, and when the value of the read prize ball number information output determination counter exceeds the value 10 ( That is, when the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 reaches 10, the prize ball number information output signal is output to the external terminal plate 558 (at this time, the number of balls exceeding the number is shown). The value is stored and updated in the prize ball information storage area of the above-mentioned payout control built-in RAM as the value of the prize ball number information output determination counter), and the display signal is output to the error LED display 633c.

Following step S548, the payout control MPU633aa performs a port input process (step S550). In this port input process, various signals input to the input terminals of the various input ports of the payout control MPU633aa are read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM. For example, the operation signal (RAM clear signal) of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the detection signal from the blade rotation detection sensor 590, the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154, and the BRQ signal from the CR unit. , BRDY signal and CR connection signal, main payment ACK signal from the main control board 1310 that conveys that the main control board 1310 has normally received various commands transmitted in the command transmission process described later, etc., as input information. Stored in the input information storage area.

Following step S550, the payout control MPU633aa performs a timer update process (step S552). In this timer update process, the ball gummy determination time set as a determination condition when determining whether or not a ball gummy state is generated by the payout blade 589 to which the rotation of the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is transmitted is determined. The skip determination time set when the fixed position determination of the payout blade 589 is not performed is set as the determination condition when determining whether or not the game ball in which the lower plate 202 is stored is full. When determining whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number by the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 during the full tank determination time. In addition to managing the time such as the ball out judgment time set as the judgment condition, the number of game balls received and paid out by the ball accommodating portion 589b of the payout blade 589 and the actual payout detection sensor 591. Judgment when determining whether to reset the inconsistency counter INCC for monitoring whether or not the game balls that do not match due to the mismatch with the number of balls detected in Inconsistency counter set as a condition Time management of reset judgment time is performed. For example, when the ball gadget determination time is set to 5005 ms, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 2 ms. Therefore, the ball gummy determination time is subtracted by 2 ms each time the timer update process is performed, and the subtraction result is a value. When it becomes 0, the ball gadget judgment time is accurately measured. These various determination times are stored in the time management information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as time management information.

Following step S552, the payout control MPU633aa performs CR communication processing (step S554). In this CR communication process, input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, whether or not various signals (BRQ signal, BRDY signal, CR connection signal) from the CR unit are input is determined. judge. Based on various signals from the CR unit, the payout control MPU633aa exchanges various signals with the CR unit. In the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM in step S530, as described above, various flags and various information stored in the various information storage areas, which are payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM. Etc. (For example, prize ball stock number PBS, actual ball count PB, drive command number DRV, mismatch counter INCC, etc. stored in the prize ball information storage area, PRDY stored in the CR communication information storage area, etc. Information used for various processes is set based on the payout information related to the payout (PRDY signal output setting information, etc. in which the logical state of the signal is set).

By this processing, for example, even if there is a momentary power failure or a power failure, the values of the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. at the time of power recovery are stored as payout backup information. It can be restored to the values of the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. As a result, even if the payout operation cannot be continued due to a momentary power failure or a power failure while the payout operation of the game ball is being executed by the payout device 580, the payout operation can be continued at the time of power recovery. Therefore, the game ball can be paid out to the upper plate 201 and the lower plate 202 without excess or deficiency. In other words, the payout control MPU633aa momentarily stops or loses power when paying out the game ball to the upper plate 201 or the lower plate 202 while exchanging various signals with the CR unit in the CR communication process. Even if the exchange of various signals is cut off and the payout of the game ball cannot be continued, the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. at the time of power recovery, etc. The value is restored to the value stored as the payout backup information, such as the prize ball stock number PBS, the actual ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, and the inconsistency counter INCC, immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure. The exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU633aa) and the CR unit immediately before the power stop or power failure can be continued from the time of power recovery, and the game balls can be continuously paid out. ing.

In this way, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (pain control MPU633aa) and the CR unit is restored to the state immediately before the momentary power failure or stop even if the power is restored. Therefore, various signals by the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU633aa) and the CR unit do not change due to the influence of the momentary power failure or stoppage. Therefore, it is possible to improve the reliability of the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU633aa) and the CR unit.

Further, various information stored in the CR communication information storage area is included in the payout backup information. In the CR communication process, the PRDY signal output setting information is read from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM set in the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM in step S530 at the time of power recovery. When the read PRDY signal output setting information is set to the logical state of the PRDY signal that conveys, for example, that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible, the PRDY signal is paid out. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of MPU633aa. Then, in the retry operation monitoring process performed as one of the main operation setting processes, for example, the value of the mismatch counter INCC of the prize ball information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM included in the payout backup information. Based on, it is determined whether or not the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is smaller than the inconsistency threshold value INCTH, and when the value of the inconsistency counter INCC is not smaller than the inconsistency threshold value INCTH, the retry operation is abnormal operation. In other words, it is determined that the payout operation of the game ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state, a value 1 is set in the retry error flag RTERR-FLG, and the payout ball Gami movement determination setting process is performed. As a setting of the output of the error state to the CR unit, for example, the logical state (LOW) of the PRDY signal indicating that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible when not communicating with the CR unit is output as the PRDY signal. It is set in the setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area.

As a result, in the CR communication processing, the logical state of this PRDY signal is read from the CR communication information storage area by the next timer interrupt from the time of power recovery, and the PRDY signal is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU633aa. Outputs to the CR unit. In this way, for example, if the payout operation of the game ball by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state immediately before the momentary power failure, that state is restored when the power is restored, so that it is extremely early after the power is restored. At the stage, a PRDY signal indicating that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible can be output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU633aa, and the payout device 580 can be output to the CR unit. It is possible to convey that the payout operation of the game ball is in an abnormal state. As a result, it is possible to prevent BRDY, which is a useless ball rental request signal, from being output from the CR unit at an extremely early stage after the power is restored.

Further, in the CR communication process, in the port input process of step S550, the CR connection signal is read from the input information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and based on this CR connection signal, the logic is HI, that is, the pachinko machine. When 1 is turned on and the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are electrically connected, PRDY is used to convey that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is possible. While the signal logic state is output as HI from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU633aa to the CR unit, when the logic is LOW, that is, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on. When the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are not electrically connected, the payout control MPU633aa with the logical state of the PRDY signal as LOW is used to convey that the payout operation for paying out the rental ball is impossible. Output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the specified output port of. The logical state of the EXS signal for notifying that one payout operation has started or ended is stored in the CR communication information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as EXS signal output setting information, and is stored with the payout control board 633. The CR connection signal that conveys whether or not the CR unit is electrically connected is stored in the state information storage area as CR connection information.

Following step S554, the payout control MPU633aa performs a full tank and out-of-ball check process (step S556). In this full tank and out of ball check process, the input information is read from the above-mentioned input information storage area, and based on this input information, the game ball in which the above-mentioned lower plate 202 is stored by the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154. The number of balls of the game ball taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 described above by the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 becomes a predetermined number or more. It is judged whether or not it is. For example, to determine whether or not the lower plate 202 is full in the stored game ball, the full tank detection sensor 154 is used in the current full tank and out-of-ball check process using the timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms. When the detection signal is ON and the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and ball out check process, that is, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is changed from OFF to ON. When the transition occurs, the time counting of the full tank determination time described above is started in the timer update process of step S552. Then, when the full tank determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the full tank determination time is reached, is the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 ON in this full tank and out-of-ball check process? Judge whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is ON, the full tank information indicating that the lower plate 202 is full in the stored game ball is stored in the above-mentioned state information storage area. do. On the other hand, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF, the full tank information indicating that the lower plate 202 is not full in the stored game ball is stored in the state information storage area.

Whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number is also determined by using the timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms to check for full tank and out of balls this time. When the detection signal from the out-of-ball switch is turned on, and the detection signal from the out-of-ball switch is turned off in the previous (2 ms before) full tank and out-of-ball check processing, that is, the detection signal from the out-of-ball detection sensor 574 is When the transition from OFF to ON is performed, the timer update process in step S552 starts the time counting of the ball-out determination time described above. Then, when the ball-out determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the ball-out determination time is reached, is the detection signal from the ball-out detection sensor 574 ON in this full tank and ball-out check process? Judge whether or not. In this determination, when the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 is ON, it is assumed that the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or more than a predetermined number, and the ball breaks to that effect. While the information is stored in the state information storage area, when the detection signal from the ball cut detection sensor 574 is OFF, it is assumed that the number of balls of the game ball taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not more than a predetermined number. The out-of-ball information that conveys that fact is stored in the state information storage area.

Following step S556, the payout control MPU633aa performs a command reception process (step S558). In this command reception process, various commands (prize ball command and self-check command) related to payout from the main control board 1310 are received. When these various commands are normally received, the payer ACK information to that effect is stored in the above-mentioned output information storage area. On the other hand, when various commands cannot be received normally, a connection abnormality is transmitted to indicate that an abnormality has occurred in the connection between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 (an abnormality has occurred in various command signals). Information is stored in the state information storage area described above.

Following step S558, the payout control MPU633aa performs a command analysis process (step S560). In this command analysis process, the command received in step S558 is analyzed, and the analyzed command is stored in the received command information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM as received command information.

Following step S560, the payout control MPU633aa performs the main operation setting process (step S562). In this main motion setting process, motion settings such as prize balls, lending balls, ball removal and ball shavings are set, retry motions are determined, and the number of unpaid balls (prize ball stock number) is monitored. ..

Following step S562, the payout control MPU633aa performs LED display data creation processing (step S564). In this LED display data creation process, various information is read from the state information storage area described above, display data to be displayed on the error LED display 633c of the payout control board 633 is created, and the output information storage area described above is used as the LED display information. Remember. For example, when the above-mentioned ball-out information is read from the state information storage area and the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not more than a predetermined number based on this ball-out information, the corresponding ball-out information is dealt with. Display data (in this embodiment, display value 1 (number "1")) is created and the LED display information is stored in the output information storage area.

Following step S564, the payout control MPU633aa performs a command transmission process (step S566). In this command transmission process, various information is read from the above-mentioned state information storage area, and various commands (frame state 1 command, error release navigation command, and frame state 2 command) classified into status displays are created based on the various information. Then, it is transmitted to the main control board 1310. For example, when the ball-out information is read from the state information storage area, the frame state 1 is obtained when the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not equal to or more than a predetermined number based on the ball-out information. A command is created and sent to the main control board 1310.

Following step S566, the payout control MPU633aa sets the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL (step S568). By setting the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, the value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL following the value B set in step S546. As a result, the value A, the value B, and the value C are set in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, and the watchdog timer is set to clear.

Following step S568, returning to step S539 again, the payout control MPU633aa sets a value A in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input in step S540, and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input. If there is no signal input, it is determined in step S542 whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, and when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when 2 ms has elapsed, step S544 Set the value 0 in the 2ms elapsed flag HT-FLG in step S546, set the value B in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S546, perform port output processing in step S548, perform port input processing in step S550, and step S552. Performs timer update processing in step S554, CR communication processing in step S554, full tank and ball out check processing in step S556, command reception processing in step S558, command analysis processing in step S560, and step S562. The main operation setting process is performed, the LED display data creation process is performed in step S564, the command transmission process is performed in step S566, the value C is set in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL in step S568, and steps S539 to S568 are repeated. conduct. The processing of steps S539 to S568 is referred to as "payout control unit main processing".

The processing content of the payout control unit main processing differs depending on the progress of the game by the main control board 1310. Therefore, the time required for processing the payout control MPU633aa varies. Therefore, in the port output process of step S548, the payout control MPU633aa preferentially outputs a payer ACK signal indicating that various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received to the main control board 1310. There is. As a result, the payout control MPU633aa secures the processing time so that other variable processing can be sufficiently performed.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S540, the payout control MPU633aa sets the interrupt prohibition setting when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input (step S570). By this setting, the timer interrupt process of the payout control unit, which will be described later, is not performed, the writing to the payout control built-in RAM is prevented, and the above-mentioned rewriting of the payout information is protected.

Following step S570, the payout control MPU633aa stops the output of the drive signal to the payout motor 584 (step S574). As a result, the payout of the game ball is stopped.

Following step S574, the payout control MPU633aa sets the watchdog timer to clear (step S576). As described above, this clear setting is performed by setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL.

Following step S576, the payout control MPU633aa calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S578). For this checksum, the payout information of the work area of the payout control built-in RAM excluding the storage area of the checksum value calculated in step S524 and the value of the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is regarded as a numerical value, and the total is calculated.

Following step S578, the payout control MPU633aa sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to a value of 1 (step S580). This completes the storage of the payout backup information.

Following step S580, the payout control MPU633aa sets the prohibition of access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S582). By this setting, access to the payout control built-in RAM is prohibited, writing and reading become impossible, and the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is protected.

Following step S582, the payout control MPU633aa enters an infinite loop. In this infinite loop, the watchdog timer is not set to clear because the value A, the value B, and the value C are not set in order in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL. Therefore, the payout control MPU633aa is reset, and then the payout control unit power-on processing is performed again. The process of steps S570 to S582 and the infinite loop are referred to as "payout control unit power cutoff process".

The pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU633aa) is reset when there is a power failure or when there is a momentary power failure, and when the power is restored thereafter, the payout control unit power-on processing is performed.

In step S526, it is inspected whether or not the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is normal, and then in step S528, whether or not the payout control unit power cutoff process is normally completed. Is inspecting. In this way, by double-checking the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM, it is inspected whether or not the payout backup information is stored by fraudulent activity.

[14-2. Payout control unit timer interrupt processing]
Next, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described. This payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeatedly performed every interrupt cycle (2 ms in this embodiment) set in the payout control unit power-on time process shown in FIGS. 178 to 180.

When the payout control unit timer interrupt process is started, the payout control MPU633aa sets the timer interrupt to disabled and switches (saves) the register as shown in FIG. 181 (step S590). Here, the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) used in the above-mentioned payout control unit main processing is switched to the auxiliary register. By using this auxiliary register in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing, the value of the general-purpose register is not overwritten. This prevents the contents of the general-purpose register used in the main processing of the payout control unit from being destroyed.

Following step S590, the payout control MPU633aa sets the value 1 in the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG (step S592). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that clocks 2 ms every time the payout control unit timer interrupt process is performed, that is, every 2 ms, and becomes a value of 1 when 2 ms has elapsed and a value of 0 when 2 ms has not elapsed. Each is set.

Following step S592, the payout control MPU633aa switches (returns) the register (step S594). This return switches from the auxiliary register used in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing to the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register). By using this general-purpose register in the payout control unit main processing, the value of the auxiliary register is not overwritten. This prevents the contents of the auxiliary register used in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing from being destroyed.

Following step S594, the payout control MPU633aa sets interrupt enable (step S596) and ends this routine.

[15. Various control processes for peripheral control boards]
Next, various processes of the peripheral control board 1510 for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) shown in FIG. 153 will be described with reference to FIGS. 182 to 186. FIG. 182 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power-on processing, FIG. 183 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 184 shows an example of peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing. FIG. 185 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and FIG. 186 is a flowchart showing an example of peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing. First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing will be described. .. In the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing is set to the highest priority as the interrupt processing, followed by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit. It is set in the order of V blank interrupt processing.

As described above, the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 has a CPU, RAM, VDP, VRAM, a sound source, a SATA controller, various I / O interfaces, and the like integrated on one semiconductor chip.

[15-1. Peripheral control unit power-on processing]
First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. 182. When the power is turned on to the pachinko machine 1, the peripheral control unit power-on processing is performed as shown in FIG. 182 under the control of the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control unit power-on processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the initial setting processing (step S1000). In this initial setting process, a process of initializing the peripheral control IC 1510a itself, a process of determining hot start / cold start, a process of setting a wait timer after reset, and the like are performed. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a first performs a process of initializing the peripheral control IC 1510a itself, but the time required for the process of initializing the peripheral control IC 1510a is on the order of microseconds (μs), and the peripheral control IC 1510a takes an extremely short time. Can be initialized. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is in a state in which interrupt permission is set, so that, for example, in the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing described later, a command related to control of the game effect output from the main control board 1310. And various commands such as commands related to the state of the pachinko machine 1 can be received.

Following step S1000, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the current time information acquisition process (step S1002). In this current time information acquisition process, the calendar information for specifying the date and the time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second are acquired from the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown), and the peripheral control IC 1510a shown in FIG. Set the current calendar information and the current time information in the RAM.

In the present embodiment, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a acquires the calendar information and the time information from the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC only once when the power is turned on. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a outputs a clear signal to an external WDT (not shown) after the current time information acquisition process is performed so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset.

Following step S1002, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a sets the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG (step S1004). This V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing described later, and has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed, and the peripheral control unit steady processing. Is set to a value of 0 when is not executed. The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG receives a V blank signal from the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a indicating that the screen data (information defining the screen configuration) from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a can be accepted. The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is executed when the data is executed. In this step S1004, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is initialized once by setting the value 0 to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after setting the value 0 in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset.

Following step S1004, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 (step S1006). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not a value 1 (value is 0), it returns to step S1006 again and is the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG a value 1? Whether or not it is repeatedly determined. By repeating such a determination, it becomes a state of waiting until the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. Further, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a outputs a clear signal to the external WDT after determining whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset. ing.

In the determination of step S1006, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, that is, when it is determined to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a first sets the flag SP-FLG during steady processing. The value 1 is set (step S1008). The steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is set to a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed, and to a value of 0 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is completed.

Following step S1008, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs 1 ms interrupt timer activation processing (step S1010). In this 1 ms interrupt timer activation process, the 1 ms interrupt timer for executing the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is activated, and the number of times the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated and the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed. The 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN for counting is set to a value of 1, and the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is also initialized. The 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing.

Following step S1010, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the effect operation unit monitoring process (step S1014). In this staging operation unit monitoring process, in the staging operation unit information acquisition process in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later, the first rotation detection sensor 347, the second rotation detection sensor 348, and the pressing detection provided in the staging operation unit 300. The rotation (rotation direction) of the rotation operation unit 302 and the rotation (rotation direction) of the rotation operation unit 302 based on the detection signals from various detection sensors such as the sensor 381 and the elevation detection sensor 382 (hereinafter, referred to as "various sensors provided in the staging operation unit 300"). Various information acquired from the operation of the pressing operation unit 303 (for example, rotation (rotation direction) history information of the rotation operation unit 302 created based on detection signals from various sensors provided in the staging operation unit 300, and pressing operation. Based on the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in which the operation history information of the unit 303 is set, the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 and the presence / absence of operation of the pressing operation unit 303 are monitored, and the rotation direction and pressing of the rotation operation unit 302 are monitored. It is appropriately determined whether or not the operation state of the operation unit 303 is reflected in the game effect.

Following step S1014, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs display data output processing (step S1016). In this display data output process, in the display data creation process described later, the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads out the image data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 based on the instruction from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a and generates the image data on the VRAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The drawing data for one screen (one frame) is output to the liquid crystal output board 1530. As a result, various screens (images) are drawn (displayed) on the effect display device 1600. In the display data output process, when drawing that exceeds the drawing capacity of the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a is performed, the output of the generated drawing data for one screen (one frame) is canceled. There is. As a result, it is possible to prevent a delay in the processing time, but although so-called frame dropping occurs, the vibration speaker 354, the top center speaker 462, the top side speaker 464, and the main body frame by the sound data output processing described later will occur. It is a mechanism that can give priority to the production by music, sound effects, etc. according to various productions from various speakers such as the speaker 622 (hereinafter, referred to as "various speakers").

Following step S1016, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs sound data output processing (step S1018). In this sound data output process, in the sound data creation process described later, the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads the sound data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 based on the instruction from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, and from the set output channel to various speakers. Output. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects that match various effects are played from various speakers.

Following step S1018, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a scheduler update process (step S1020). In this scheduler update process, various schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are updated. For example, in the scheduler update process, in order to indicate which screen data is output to the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a from the first screen data among the screen data arranged in the time series constituting the screen generation schedule data. Update the pointer to.

Further, in the scheduler update process, a pointer is set to indicate which light emission data is to be output from the first light emission data among the light emission data arranged in the time series constituting the light emission mode generation schedule data. Update.

In the scheduler update process, the first sound among the sound data such as music and sound effects, and the sound command data for instructing the sound data of the notification sound and the notification sound, which are arranged in the time series constituting the schedule data for sound generation. The pointer is updated in order to indicate which sound command data is to be output to the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a from the command data.

In the scheduler update process, the output target is the drive data from the first drive data among the drive data of the electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in the time series constituting the electrical drive source schedule data. Update the pointer to indicate if you want to. Electrical drive source The drive data of an electric drive source such as a motor or solenoid that constitutes the schedule data is the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt that is repeatedly executed every time a 1ms timer interrupt occurs, which will be described later. Updated with motor and solenoid drive processing in the processing. In the motor and solenoid drive processing that is repeatedly executed each time this 1 ms timer interrupt occurs, the electric drive source such as the motor or solenoid is driven according to the drive data indicated by the pointer, and the next drive specified in time series is performed. It updates the pointer to the data and updates the pointer each time it executes its own processing. That is, since the drive data instructed by the pointer updated in the motor and solenoid drive processing is forcibly updated in the scheduler update processing, the pointer is originally instructed in the motor and solenoid drive processing for some reason. Even if another drive data is instructed from the drive data that should be instructed, the drive data that should be originally instructed in the scheduler update process is forcibly updated.

Following step S1020, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs reception command analysis processing (step S1022). In this received command analysis process, various commands transmitted from the main control board 1310 are received in the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process described later, and the received various commands are analyzed. Various commands from the main control board 1310 are received by the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. In this reception command analysis processing, they are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. Analyze the various commands that have been issued. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads out the screen generation schedule data, the light emission mode generation schedule data, the sound generation schedule data, the electrical drive source schedule data, and the like from the control ROM 1510b based on the various analyzed commands ( (Extract) and set it in the RAM of the peripheral control IC1510a.

Further, in the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, the command from the main control board 1310 received in the peripheral control unit command interrupt process is, for example, a start opening winning command for instructing the start of the starting opening winning effect, or a normal symbol. Normal symbol storage command for identifying the number of holds (0 to 4), symbol synchronization effect start command for instructing the start of the symbol synchronization effect, symbol memory command output when the number of start hold changes, first large It analyzes whether or not it is a large winning opening 1 count display command output every time a game ball is accepted in the winning opening 2005, and recognizes which game state it is currently in.

Various commands from the main control board 1310 are received by the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a, and are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a in the reception command analysis processing. Analyze various commands. Various commands include various commands classified as related to special figure 1 synchronization effect, various commands classified as related to special figure 2 synchronization effect, various commands classified as jackpot related, various commands classified as power-on, and general. Various commands classified as related to the synchronization effect, various commands classified as related to the normal electric function effect, various commands classified as the notification display, various commands classified as the status display, various commands classified as related to the test, and so on. There are various other commands that are classified.

Following step S1022, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs warning processing (step S1024). In this warning process, when the command analyzed in the received command analysis process in step S1022 includes various commands classified into the notification display, the abnormality display mode for executing various abnormality notifications is set. The screen generation schedule data, the light emission mode generation schedule data, the sound generation schedule data, the electrical drive source schedule data, and the like are read out (extracted) from the control ROM 1510b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. In the warning process, when multiple abnormalities occur at the same time, the abnormality notification is performed from the order of the highest priority registered in advance, and the abnormality is automatically resolved and the remaining abnormality notification is automatically transferred. It is designed to do. This allows multiple anomalies to be monitored simultaneously without losing information that another anomaly has occurred and that one anomaly has occurred after one anomaly has occurred but before the anomaly has been resolved. Can be done.

Following step S1024, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs RCT acquisition information update processing (step S1026). In this RTC acquisition information update process, the calendar information and the time information acquired in the current time information acquisition process of step S1002 and stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are updated. By this RCT acquisition information update process, the hour, minute, and second, which is the time information stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a, is updated, and the calendar information is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a based on the updated time information. The date is updated.

Following step S1026, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs display data creation processing (step S1030). In this display data creation process, the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020, and among the screen data arranged in time series constituting the screen generation schedule data, the screen data indicated by the pointer is transferred from the control ROM 1510b. It is read out (extracted) and output to the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

When screen data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads image data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 and draws (displays) it on the effect display device 1600 based on the input screen data. The drawing data for one screen (one frame) is generated in the built-in VRAM.

Following step S1030, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs sound data creation processing (step S1032). In this sound data creation process, the pointer is updated in the scheduler update process of step S1020, and among the sound command data arranged in time series constituting the sound generation schedule data, the sound command data instructed by the pointer is selected. It is read (extracted) from the control ROM 1510b and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. When the sound command data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a, the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a reads the sound data from the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 and outputs the sound data such as music and sound effects according to the track number specified in the sound command data. Incorporate and set the output channel to be used according to the output channel number.

In the sound data creation process, every time this sound data creation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral control unit steady process is performed), the volume adjustment switch 1510d is based on the volume adjustment operation signal from the volume adjustment switch 1510d. The slide position is specified. The CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a controls the sound source of the peripheral control IC 1510a so that the volume corresponds to the slide position of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, and is set in the sound data creation process in the sound data output process of step S1018. Sound data is output from the output channel to various speakers. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects that match various effects are played from various speakers.

In addition, the notification sound and notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the slide operation of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, and the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a surrounds the volume from mute to the maximum volume by a program. The sound source of the control IC 1510a can be controlled and adjusted. The volume adjusted by this program can be smoothly changed from mute to maximum volume. For example, even when a staff member such as a clerk in a game hall slides the volume control switch 1510d to set the volume to a low level, the production sounds such as music and sound effects played from various speakers are reduced, but the pachinko machine 1 When a problem occurs in the music or when the player is cheating, a notification sound set to a loud volume (maximum volume in the present embodiment) can be played. Therefore, even if the volume of the staging sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the staff such as the clerk of the game hall from becoming less likely to notice the occurrence of a problem or the fraudulent act of the player due to the notification sound. In addition, based on the current volume set by the volume adjustment based on the slide operation of the volume adjustment switch 1510d, the volume at which the advertisement sound is played is reduced so as not to interfere with the music or the sound effect, while the advertisement sound is played. In addition to music and sound effects, the screen (image) unfolded by the effect display device 1600 may be produced as more powerful by increasing the volume of the sound, or the game may shift to a game state that is advantageous to the player. You can also announce that it is expensive.

Following step S1032, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a backup process (step S1034). In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are copied to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a and backed up, and the contents stored in the DRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 are copied to the DRAMs 1510c1 and It is copied and backed up in the backup area for routine processing provided in 1510c2.

Following step S1034, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the WDT clear process (step S1036). In this WDT clear process, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset.

Following step S1036, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a sets the value 0 in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as the execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing is completed (step S1038), returns to step S1004 again, and detects the V blank signal. The value 0 is set in the flag VB-FLG and initialized, and the determination in step S1006 is repeated until the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later. That is, in step S1006, the process waits until the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, and when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value 1, steps S1008 to step S1006. The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1004 again. As described above, when it is determined in step S1006 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1, the processes of steps S1008 to S1038 are performed. The processing of steps S1008 to S1038 is referred to as "peripheral control unit steady processing".

In this peripheral control unit steady processing, first, it is assumed that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed in step S1008, and the value 1 is set in the steady processing flag SP-FLG. In step S1010, the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing is started. Then, each process of step S1014, ..., And step S1036 is performed, and finally, when the value 0 is set in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as the execution completion of the peripheral control unit steady processing in step S1038, the process is completed. Become. Peripheral control unit steady processing is executed when the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 in step S1006. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a can be accepted from the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a to the peripheral control IC 1510a. The value 1 is set in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later, which is executed when the data is input to the CPU. In the present embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps per second, so that the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33. It is .3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed approximately every 33.3 ms.

[15-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process is executed when a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a can be accepted is input from the VDP of the peripheral control IC 1510a. Will be explained. When the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, as shown in FIG. 183 (step S1045). As described above, the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing in steps S1008 to S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 182 is being executed. When the execution of the process is completed, the value is set to 0.

In the determination of step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the steady processing flag SP-FLG is not a value 0 (value 1), that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed, this is as it is. End the routine. On the other hand, in the determination of step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, when it is determined that the peripheral control unit steady processing has been executed, the V blank signal detection flag VB. -Set the value 1 to FLG (step S1050) and end this routine. As described above, this V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing, and has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. The value is set to 0 when the steady processing is not executed.

In the present embodiment, in the determination of step S1045, it is determined whether or not the constant processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0, that is, whether or not the execution of the peripheral control unit stationary processing is completed, and the peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. When completed, the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in step S1050, but this is because the V blank signal is input while the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed. When the value 1 is set in the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, the peripheral control unit steady processing currently being executed is assumed to be executed in the determination of step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 182. Since the processing is forcibly canceled in the middle and the peripheral control unit steady processing is started from the beginning, in order to prevent this, step S1008 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) in FIG. 182. By setting the value 1 to the constant processing flag SP-FLG in, the peripheral control unit stationary processing is being executed, which is notified to the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, and the peripheral control in FIG. 182. Peripheral control unit, which is this routine, indicates that the execution of peripheral control unit steady processing is completed by setting the value 0 to the steady processing flag SP-FLG in step S1038 in the unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing). By transmitting to the V blank signal interrupt process, whether or not the value of the steady processing flag SP-FLG is 0 in the determination of step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process, which is the routine, that is, the peripheral control unit steady process. Is designed to determine whether or not the execution has been completed. In other words, it is a measure when the peripheral control unit steady processing cannot be completed by the time the V blank signal is input and the next V blank signal is input, so that the processing fails.

As a result, in the peripheral control unit steady processing this time, if the processing cannot be completed in about 33.3 ms and the processing fails, the next time is determined by step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 182. It will be in a state of waiting until the V blank signal of is input. That is, the time for executing the current peripheral control unit steady processing that has failed the processing is about 66.6 ms. Normally, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is repeatedly executed every time the 1ms interrupt timer is activated by starting the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady processing) of FIG. 182. Is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady processing, but if the peripheral control unit steady processing of this time that the above-mentioned processing failed exists, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is 64 times. It is designed to be executed only 32 times. That is, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing which is the timer interrupt control is consistent. It is designed not to collapse. Therefore, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, the progress state of the effect can be reliably matched.

[15-3. Peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing that is repeatedly executed every time the 1ms interrupt timer is generated by the activation of the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 182 will be described. .. When the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 times as shown in FIG. 184 (step S1100). As described above, the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is determined by the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 182. It is a counter that counts the number of times that a certain peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is executed. In the present embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency of the effect display device 1600 (the number of screen updates per second) is set to approximately 30 fps per second, so that the interval at which the V blank signal is input is approximately 33. It is .3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed approximately every 33.3 ms, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the next peripheral control unit steady processing is performed. Is executed, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed only 32 times. Specifically, when the 1 ms timer interrupt is activated in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt is generated first, the second, ..., And the 32nd 1 ms timer interrupt is sequentially performed. It will occur.

In the determination of step S1100, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a does not have a 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN smaller than 33 times, that is, the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. When it is determined, this routine is terminated as it is. When the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is the peripheral control unit V as the priority of the interrupt processing. Although it is set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is the signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, when the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal. , The start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled in order to execute the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing. Then, after the 1ms interrupt timer is restarted in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing due to the generation of the first 1ms timer interrupt is newly started. ing.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1100, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33, the CPU adds a value 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN (increment, step S1102). By adding the value 1 to the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN, the 1ms interrupt timer is activated by the 1ms interrupt timer activation processing in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 182. The number of times the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which is this routine, is executed is increased by one time.

Following step S1102, a motor and solenoid drive process is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive process, the pointer indicates among the drive data of the electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series constituting the electric drive source schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The pointer is updated to the next drive data specified in time series while driving an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid according to the drive data to be performed, and the pointer is updated each time the motor or solenoid drive process is executed. do.

Following step S1104, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the movable body information acquisition process (step S1106). In this movable body information acquisition process, history information of detection signals from various sensors (for example, original) is determined by determining whether or not detection signals from various sensors provided in the movable effect unit provided in the game board 5 are input. (Position history information, movable position history information, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. From the history information of the detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a, it is possible to acquire the original position and the movable position of various movable bodies (various decorative bodies) provided in the movable staging unit provided on the game board 5. can.

Following step S1106, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the effect operation unit information acquisition process (step S1108). In this effect operation unit information acquisition process, the history information of the detection signals from the various sensors (for example, the rotation operation unit) is determined by determining whether or not the detection signals from the various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300 are input. The rotation (rotation direction) history information of 302, the operation history information of the pressing operation unit 303, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a. From the history information of the detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a, the rotation direction of the rotation operation unit 302 and the operation presence / absence of the pressing operation unit 303 can be acquired.

Following step S1108, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a backup process (step S1110) and ends this routine. In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are copied to the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a and backed up, and the contents stored in the SDRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 are copied and backed up. It is copied to and backed up in the backup area for 1ms timer interrupt processing provided in the DRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2. In the present embodiment, the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a and the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a are set in different areas, and the SDRAM 1510c1 , The 1 ms timer interrupt processing backup area provided in 1510c2 and the steady processing backup area provided in the DRAMs 1510c1 and 1510c2 are set in different areas.

As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, various processes related to the effect of steps S1104 to S1108 are executed as the progress of the effect within the period of 1 ms. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. 182, various processes related to the production of steps S1014 to S1032 are executed as the progress of the production within a period of about 33.3 ms. There is. In the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, when the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than the value 33 in step S1100, that is, when the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is started. Since this routine is terminated as it is, even if the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, the peripheral control unit due to this 33rd 1ms timer interrupt Peripheral control by forcibly canceling the start of the 1ms timer interrupt process, restarting the 1ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, and then newly generating the 1ms timer interrupt. Part 1ms Timer interrupt processing is started. That is, the consistency between the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the progress state of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which is the timer interrupt control, is not broken. Therefore, it is possible to surely match the progress state of the production.

Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output varies slightly depending on the liquid crystal size of the effect display device 1600, and the V blank signal is also generated in the manufacturing lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control IC 1510a is mounted. The output interval may change slightly. In the present embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the generation of the next V blank signal, peripheral control is performed. The start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled in order to execute the unit V blank interrupt processing. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes slightly, the start of the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. It is possible to absorb the time lag due to a slight change in the interval at which the V-blank signal is output.

[15-4. Peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 will be described. When various commands from the main control board 1310 are started to be transmitted as serial data, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a sends the main peripheral serial data to 1 byte (8 bits) at the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC 1510a. ) Is fetched into the receive buffer, and when this fetch is completed, an interrupt is generated as a trigger, and peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is performed. In the main peripheral serial data, one packet is composed of 3 bytes, the status is assigned as the 1st byte, the mode is assigned as the 2nd byte, and the status and mode are regarded as numerical values as the 3rd byte, and the total thereof. Is assigned the calculated sum value.

When the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the 1-byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 185 (step S1200). This 1-byte reception period timer sets a period during which 1-byte (8-bit) information of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 can be received.

In the determination of step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a inputs 1 byte (8 bits) of information in the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out. When it is determined that the information is within the receivable period, the 1-byte information received from the reception buffer of the serial I / O port of the peripheral control IC 1510a is fetched (step S1202), and the value 1 is added (incremented) to the reception counter SRXC. Step S1204). This reception counter SRXC is a counter indicating the number of times the data is fetched from the receive buffer, and when the status which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data is fetched from the receive buffer, the value is 1, and the mode which is the second byte of the main cycle serial data is set. When it is taken out from the receive buffer, it becomes a value 2, and when the sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data is taken out from the receive buffer, it becomes a value 3. The initial value 0 of the reception counter SRXC is set when the power is turned on or the like.

Following step S1204, it is determined whether or not the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, whether or not the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, has been fetched from the receive buffer (step S1206). In this determination, following the status that is the first byte of the main cycle serial data, the mode that is the second byte of the main cycle serial data, and the sum value that is the third byte of the main cycle serial data are sequentially input from the receive buffer. It is determined whether or not it has been taken out.

In the determination of step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is in a mode in which the reception counter SRXC is not a value 3, that is, following the status which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data, the CPU is still the second byte of the main peripheral serial data. Then, when it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, has not been sequentially fetched from the receive buffer, the 1-byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine is terminated. By setting the 1-byte reception period timer in step S1208, the mode in which the second byte of the main cycle serial data or the sum value which is the third byte of the main cycle serial data can be received is set.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines when the reception counter SRXC has a value of 3, that is, in the second byte of the main cycle serial data following the status which is the first byte of the main cycle serial data. When it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data, is sequentially taken out from the receive buffer in a certain mode, the initial value 0 is set in the reception counter SRXC (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step). S1212). In this calculation, the status which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data and the mode which is the second byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202 are regarded as numerical values and the total (sum value). ) Is calculated.

Following step S1212, it is determined whether or not the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already fetched from the receive buffer in step S1202, and the sum value calculated in step S1212 match (step). S1214). The thumb value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202, is the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main peripheral serial data among the main peripheral serial data from the main control board 1310. Therefore, it should match the sum value calculated in step S1212. However, the pachinko machine 1 is supplied with game balls from the island equipment of the game hall, and when the game balls rub against each other and are charged, they are electrostatically discharged and generate noise. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 is affected by the noise. It is in a vulnerable environment.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the status allocated as the first byte of the received main peripheral serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data on the peripheral control board 1510 side are regarded as numerical values. The total (sum value) is calculated, and whether the calculated sum value matches the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main circumference serial data in the main circumference serial data from the main control board 1310. It is judged whether or not. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not the main peripheral serial data is affected by noise and changed to the main peripheral serial data different from the normal one between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. It can be determined.

In the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a matches the sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202 and the sum value calculated in step S1212. When it is determined, the received status allocated as the first byte of the main peripheral serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data are stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a (step S1216). ), End this routine.

On the other hand, in the determination in step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a has 1 byte (8 bits) of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out. When it is determined that the period during which information can be received has been exceeded, or in the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a has a sum value which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already taken out from the receive buffer in step S1202. And, when it is determined that the sum value calculated in step S1212 does not match, this routine is terminated as it is.

[15-5. Peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process executed when the power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 is input from the main control board 1310 will be described. When the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a first activates a 2-microsecond timer (step S1300) as shown in FIG. 186, and whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. (Step S1302). In the determination of step S1302, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is not input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a ends this routine as it is.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1302, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed (step S1304). In this determination, it is determined whether or not the timer started in step S1300 has elapsed 2 microseconds. In the determination of step S1304, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a returns to step S1302 when 2 macroseconds have not elapsed, determines whether or not the power failure warning signal has been input, and if the power failure warning signal has not been input. When it is determined, this routine is terminated as it is, and when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, it is determined again in step S1304 whether or not 2 microseconds have elapsed. That is, in the determination in step S1304, it is determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is continuously input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing, which is the routine, is started.

In the determination of step S1304, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the power failure warning signal is continuously input for 2 microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing, which is the routine, is started, the power saving processing is performed. (Step S1306). In this power saving process, the power consumption of the entire system of the pachinko machine 1 is reduced by sequentially turning off the backlight of the effect display device 1600, turning off the excitation to the motor and solenoid provided in the game board 5, turning off various LEDs, and the like. By suppressing it, stable operation is ensured for a period of 20 milliseconds, which is the time during which the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a can operate even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off.

Following step S1306, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a command reception standby process (step S1308). In this command reception standby process, assuming that there are various commands being transmitted by the main control board 1310, the peripheral control IC 1510a can receive the commands being transmitted for a period of at least 17 milliseconds. It is supposed to wait. When the command is received, the above-mentioned peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is started, and the received command is stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a.

Following step S1308, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs a command backup process (step S1310). In the backup process of this command, the command stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a is copied to the backup area for steady processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC 1510a and backed up.

Following step S1310, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S1312). In the determination of step S1312, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs the WDT clear process (step S1314). In this WDT clear process, a clear signal is output to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is not reset.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1312, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a determines that the power failure warning signal has not been input, or after step S1314, the CPU returns to step S1312 again to determine whether or not the power failure warning signal has been input. Is determined. That is, it is infinitely determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. By continuing the determination indefinitely in this way, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a cannot output the clear signal to the external WDT when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has not been input in the determination in step S1312. While the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is reset, when it is determined in the determination of step S1312 that the power failure warning signal is input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a performs WDT clear processing in step S1314 to perform the WDT clear processing of the peripheral control IC 1510a. The CPU does not reset. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is reset, the peripheral control unit power-on processing shown in FIG. 182 is restarted.

In this way, when the input of the power failure warning signal continues in the infinite loop according to the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear process is executed in step S1314, so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is reset immediately before the power failure state occurs. It is designed not to take. On the other hand, if the input of the power failure warning signal is not continued and is canceled in the infinite loop by the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear processing is not executed, so that the output of the clear signal to the external WDT is interrupted. It has become. As a result, even if the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is the routine, is erroneously started due to noise or the like, and the noise occurs for more than a period of 2 microseconds, the determination in step S1302 is passed. If the input of the power failure warning signal is not continued and is canceled in the infinite loop by the determination by S1312, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 1510a is reset because the WDT clear processing in step S1314 is not executed. It is possible to deal with such noise by automatically resetting and returning.

[16. Characteristic effects of this embodiment]
As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment,
As a result, under normal conditions, the central decorative body 3351 in the upper front movable staging unit 3300 of the back unit 3000 is located in the raised retracted position near the upper edge in the front view game area 5a, and the two firsts. The first position where the pair of first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a of the protruding decorative body 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 overlap each other back and forth on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351, respectively. Is located in. Here, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a is arranged on the left side of the central decorative body 3351, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a is arranged on the front side on the right side. For this reason, the central decorative body 3351 can be seen near the upper edge in the front view gaming area 5a, and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, one on each of the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351, respectively. The center decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a decorate the inside of the game area 5a to improve the appearance of the pachinko machine 1. Under normal conditions, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a located at the first position overlap each other in the front-rear direction. Since only the decorative portion 3353a can be seen from the front (player side), it is possible to make it difficult to notice the existence of the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the rear side. It can be recognized that the number of the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a is only currently visible. When the LEDs mounted on the upper front center decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate, and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate are made to emit light in a normal state, the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second Since the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be light-emitting decorated, the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3352a are provided by the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a. The portion 3353a can be made to stand out, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351. Further, in a normal state, the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 are retracted positions near the upper edge of the front view game area 5a, so that the front view game The effect image displayed on the effect display device 1600 arranged in the center of the area 5a is not obstructed by the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351, and is in good condition from the player side. The staging image can be visually recognized, and the player can entertain the staging image.

In this normal state, the upper front drive motor 3302 is driven according to the game state that changes due to the game being played in the game area 5a, and the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the lower appearance position. Then, the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 descend together. At this time, on the left side of the central decorative body 3351, the second protruding decorative portion 3353a of the second protruding decorative body 3353, and on the right side of the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a of the remaining first protruding decorative body 3352. The lower ends of the second link rods 3304 arranged on the left and right are attached, and the upper ends of the second link rods 3304 on the left and right are rotatably attached to the unit base 3301 within a predetermined range. Since it is attached to the tip of the first link rod 3303 so that it can slide in the same vertical direction as the moving direction of the central decorative body 3351, it is attached to the unit base 3301 respectively, so that it descends together with the central decorative body 3351. The left and right second link rods 3304 are the same as the moving direction of the central decorative body 3351 by the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 (first protruding decorative portion 3352a and second protruding decorative portion 3353a). It is pulled downward and the upper end of the second link rod 3304 slides downward with respect to the unit base 3301. Since the upper ends of the left and right second link rods 3304 can be slid vertically by the first link rod 3303 within a range shorter than the moving distance (elevation distance) of the central decorative body 3351, the central decorative body Before the 3351 reaches the appearance position of the descending end, the upper end portion of each of the left and right second link rods 3304 reaches the lower end portion in the sliding direction. Then, after the upper end portion of the second link rod 3304 reaches the lower end portion in the slide direction, when the central decorative body 3351 further moves in the direction of the lower appearance position, the lower end portion of the second link rod 3304 further appears position. On the right side of the two first protruding decorations 3352 and the second protruding decoration 3353 that try to descend with the central decoration 3351 by the left and right second link rods 3304 because they cannot move in the direction (downward) of The first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left side are pulled toward the upper unit base 3301, and this force causes the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 to be centrally decorated. The first connecting rod 3352b and the second connecting rod 3353b attached to the rear side of the body 3351 rotate in different directions with respect to the axis extending back and forth around the center of the central decorative body 3351, and both left and right sides. The first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a of the above move from the first position where the front and rear overlaps are eliminated to the second position where the front and rear overlap is eliminated. As a result, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, which were visible as one on both the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351, rotate in two so that the fan spreads, and becomes the central decorative body 3351. The four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a extending radially around the central decorative body 3351 can form one large decoration and show it to the player. Therefore, since all the numbers of the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a appear around the central decorative body 3351 moved to the center of the game area 5a, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second By increasing the number of the protruding decorative portions 3353a, the player can be surprised, and by expanding the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a around the central decorative body 3351, the entire decoration can be achieved. Can be increased, giving a strong impact to the player and suppressing a decline in interest.

Further, as described above, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearance position of the descending end by the upper front drive motor 3302, the upper end portions of the left and right second link rods 3304 become the lower end portions in the sliding direction. The two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portions 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 overlap each other until they reach (the downward rotating end of the tip side of the first link rod 3303). After the upper end of the second link rod 3304 reaches the lower end in the sliding direction, the central decorative body 3351 descends together with the central decorative body 3351 in the state of the first position (downward). ), The two left and right first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a rotate from the first position where they overlap each other to the second position where the overlap is eliminated, and radiate around the central decorative body 3351. Since it is possible to show the player a movable effect of two-step movement by the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353, the upper front drive motor 3302 By appropriately controlling, it is possible to stop the movement (directing) in the first stage or move (directing) to the second stage, and the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 can be used. And the variation of the movable effect using the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be increased, the player can be entertained by various effects, and the player can be less likely to get bored. It is possible to suppress the decline in the interest in the situation.

Further, since the central decorative body 3351 can be moved from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearance position of the descending end by the upper front drive motor 3302 according to the gaming state, the central decorative body 3351 can be moved from the retracted position of the ascending end to the appearance position of the descending end. When the game state changes, the player can be thrilled and excited depending on whether or not the central decorative body 3351 descends to the appearance position, and the player can be entertained. Then, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position side by the upper front drive motor 3302 and moved to the first stage where the first protruding decorative body 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 do not rotate and move, the center Since the decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 move downward in the normal state, it seems that there is something good for the player. It can be made to have a sense of expectation for the game. Further, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the second stage, that is, to the position where the descending end appears, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a radially spread around the central decorative body 3351. The central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can show the player a large decoration, and the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and Since the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be lowered to make the player feel as if a bulletin board from heaven is given to the player, an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous to the player. It is possible to make the player think that the game will occur, raise the expectation for the game, make it difficult for the player to get bored, and suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

In this way, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position, the movements of the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be changed in two steps. Therefore, the possibility (expected value) of an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous differs between the time when the player stops in the first stage and the time when the player stops in the second stage. It is possible to suggest that the expected value is higher in the second stage than in the first stage, and the central decoration body 3351 and the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352 and the second protrusion decoration can be recognized. Various expected values can be displayed to the player with the body 3353.

Further, the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position near the center in the front view game area 5a, and the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position to secure a space around the central decorative body 3351. For facilitation, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be moved from the first position to the second position and spread radially around the central decorative body 3351 at the appearance position. The body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can form as large a decoration as possible. Therefore, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302 according to the gaming state, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protrusions radially extending around the center decorative body 3351 near the center of the game area 5a. Since the large decoration by the decoration portion 3352a and the second protruding decoration portion 3353a can be shown to the player, the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the center of the game area 5a. At the same time, it is possible to enjoy a large decoration by the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the player's interest in the game.

Further, when the central decorative body 3351 is moved from the retracted position to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are in the first position. Because one upper front drive motor 3302 is used to move the central decoration body 3351 and the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352 and the second protrusion decoration body 3353. When performing an effect (movable effect) using the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353, it is sufficient to control only one upper front drive motor 3302 for the effect. The load can be reduced. Therefore, when the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 are used for the effect, another movable decorative body, a light emitting decorative body, or the like is used at the same time. However, since it is possible to suppress an increase in the load applied to the control of the staging, the control of the staging becomes unstable due to the overload, and the upper front drive motor 3302 causes the central decorative body 3351 and the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352. And the movement of the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be prevented from being jerky, and the effect of using the central decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353 can be surely exhibited. The pachinko machine 1 can be used to achieve the above-mentioned effects.

Further, as described above, while the central decorative body 3351 is descending to the appearance position, the two first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are moved to the second position. Since it is moved, the speed at which the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a move (rotate) to the second position becomes relatively faster than the moving speed of the central decorative body 3351. Therefore, the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be made to move as if they suddenly spread around the central decorative body 3351, which surprises the player with the central decorative body 3351 and the second second. It is possible to enjoy the production using the one protruding decorative body 3352 and the second protruding decorative body 3353.

Further, as described above, after the central decorative body 3351 has moved from the retracted position to the appearance position to some extent, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on the left and right sides of the central decorative body 3351 are first. I am trying to move from the position to the second position. That is, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a are moved from the vicinity of the upper edge of the front view game area 5a to the center side to some extent, and then first spread radially around the central decorative body 3351. Since it is moved from the position to the second position, when the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a move to the second position, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decoration The portion 3353a can be made difficult to come into contact with other members, and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, the second protruding decorative portion 3353a, and other members can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, when a plurality of LEDs mounted on the upper front central decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate, and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate are made to emit light, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and Since the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be independently luminescently decorated, the central decorative body 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3353a are provided with the luminescent decoration of the central decorative body 3351, the first protruding decorative portion 3352a, and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a. The decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be made to stand out, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the upper front movable decorative body 3350 such as the central decorative body 3351. Therefore, before the central decoration body 3351 and the two first protrusion decoration bodies 3352 and the second protrusion decoration body 3353 are lowered from the retracted position to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, the upper front center decoration board and the first protrusion decoration A player can illuminate the central decorative body 3351 and the first protruding decorative portion 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a on both the left and right sides by a plurality of LEDs mounted on the partial decorative substrate and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate. Because the central decorative body 3351 and the like can be focused on, the player can be excited and excited depending on whether or not the central decorative body 3351 and the like are moved to the appearance position by the upper front drive motor 3302, and the player can be enjoyed. You can evacuate.

Then, the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position on the central side of the game area 5a by the upper front drive motor 3302, and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a are radially formed around the central decorative body 3351. When it spreads to, it can surprise the player and make him think that there is something good, and can raise the player's expectation for the game. When the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the appearance position, the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative parts 3352a and the first by the upper front central decorative substrate, the first protruding decorative portion decorative substrate and the second protruding decorative portion decorative substrate. (Ii) When the protruding decoration portion 3353a is light-emittingly decorated, the decoration that shines greatly in the center of the game area 5a can be shown to the player, so that the player has an advantageous gaming state (for example, "big hit game"). ") Can be thought to occur, and it is possible to raise expectations for the occurrence of an advantageous gaming state and suppress a decline in interest.

Further, since the effect display device 1600 is arranged in the center of the front view game area 5a, when the central decorative body 3351 is lowered to the central appearance position in the game area 5a by the upper front drive motor 3302, it is centered. Since (a part of) the effect image is blocked by the decorative body 3351, the two first protruding decorative bodies 3352, and the second protruding decorative body 3353, it is possible to make the player notice the descent of the central decorative body 3351 and the like and pay attention to it. It is possible to show the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a that move from the first position to the second position and radiate around the central decoration 3351. Therefore, in the center of the gaming area 5a, the large decoration by the central decorative body 3351 and the four first protruding decorative portions 3352a and the second protruding decorative portion 3353a can be surely shown to the player, and the above-mentioned effects can be seen. It can be a pachinko machine 1 that surely plays.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the frame-shaped center accessory 2500 is arranged in the center of the front view gaming area 5a, and the game ball B is located in the area excluding the frame of the center accessory 2500. Can play games that are distributed. A table staging unit 2600 provided with a transparent front light guide plate 2610 so as to close the inside of the frame is attached to the center accessory 2500, and the staging unit 2600 is arranged rearward through the front light guide plate 2610. You can enjoy the staging image displayed on the display device 1600. In this state, a predetermined LED 2630 among a plurality of LEDs 2630 attached to the upper peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 via a reflector 2620 according to a game state that changes as a game is played in the game area 5a. When (any of the first LED group 2630a, the second LED group 2630b, the third LED group 2630c, and the fourth LED group 2630d) is made to emit light, it corresponds to this LED 2630 and is specified on the peripheral surface of the front light guide plate 2610. The light input unit 2612 (any of the first specific light input unit 2612a, the second specific light input unit 2612b, the third specific light input unit 2612c, and the fourth specific light input unit 2612d) is irradiated with light, and the specific light input unit 2612d is irradiated with light. The corresponding pattern 2614 (any of the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d) is displayed by light emitted from the light unit 2612 in the front light guide plate 2610. The Rukoto. More specifically, the periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611 of the front light guide plate 2610 is fitted into the fixed recess 2621 of the reflector 2620, and from the plurality of through holes 2622 penetrating the fixed recess 2621 to the specific light input portion 2612 side. Since a plurality of LEDs are attached to the reflector 2620 via the front light guide plate decorative substrate 2640 so as to face each other, the LEDs 2630 can be brought as close as possible to the peripheral surface (specific light incident unit 2612) of the light guide plate main body 2611. It is possible to reliably irradiate the corresponding specific light input unit 2612 with the light from the LED 2630, and it is possible to prevent the light from the LED 2630 from diffusing through the through hole 2622, which is not compatible with the specific light input. It is possible to prevent the portion 2612 from being irradiated with light.

Then, the light incident on the light guide plate main body 2611 from the specific light input portion 2612 corresponds to the reflection recess 2613 (first reflection recess 2613a, second reflection recess 2613b, third reflection recess 2613c, fourth reflection recess 2613d). ,), The light irradiated in the reflection recess 2613 is reflected or refracted in a predetermined direction. At this time, since the reflection recess 2613 extends in a direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the corresponding specific light input portion 2612, the light reflected or refracted by the reflection recess 2613 is projected in a predetermined direction. Since the direction perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611 is included, the light guide plate main body 2611 is seen by the reflective recess 2613 in the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a (light guide plate main body 2611). The light reflected or refracted in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the surface reaches, the reflection recess 2613 appears to shine, and the pattern 2614 composed of the reflection recess 2613 appears to be emitted and displayed. On the other hand, the light incident on the light guide plate main body 2611 from the specific light input unit 2612 also reaches the reflection recess 2613 that does not correspond to the specific light input unit 2612, but the reflection recess 2613 that does not correspond to the specific light input unit 2612. Since the light extends in a direction different from the direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the specific light input portion 2612 in which the light is incident, the direction of the light reflected or refracted by the reflection recess 2613 is perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611. The direction is tilted with respect to the above direction, and it does not reach the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a, and the corresponding reflective recess 2613 does not appear to shine. In this way, when the specific light input unit 2612 is irradiated with light by the LED 2630, only the reflection recess 2613 corresponding to the specific light input unit 2612 reflects or refracts the light in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the light guide plate main body 2611. Then, it reaches the eyes of the player sitting in front of the game area 5a, and it is possible to show the player that only the pattern 2614 composed of the corresponding reflective recess 2613 is light-emittingly displayed. ..

Therefore, by appropriately selecting the LED 2630 to emit light and changing the specific light input unit 2612 to be irradiated with light, the pattern 2614 emitted and displayed on the front light guide plate 2610 can be variously changed. By displaying the 2614 in light, the player can be surprised and entertained, the player is less likely to get bored, and the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed. Since the plurality of patterns 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610 are formed so as to be sequentially related to each other, a plurality of LEDs 2630 (first LED group 2630a, second LED group 2630b, third LED group) are formed according to the gaming state. When the 2630c and the fourth LED group 2630d) are sequentially emitted, a plurality of patterns (first pattern 2614a, second pattern 2614b, third pattern 2614c, fourth pattern 2614d) are sequentially emitted and displayed on the front light guide plate 2610 for animation. It is possible to show the player a moving light emitting display like this.

Specifically, the first pattern 2614a, the second pattern 2614b, the third pattern 2614c, and the fourth pattern 2614d are displayed in the order of light emission, and after the last fourth pattern 2614d, the first pattern 2614a returns to the beginning again. When the light emission display is repeated in order from the beginning, the player can be shown the light emission display that keeps moving from the outside toward the center by the plurality of patterns 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610. It is possible to make people think that their momentum is concentrated, and it is possible to raise expectations for the game by making them think that something good is happening. On the other hand, on the contrary, the fourth pattern 2614d, the third pattern 2614c, the second pattern 2614b, and the first pattern 2614a are displayed in the order of light emission, and after the last first pattern 2614a, the first pattern is returned to the first and the second pattern is displayed again. When the light emission display is repeated in order from the four patterns 2614d, the player can be shown the light emission display that continues to move from the center to the outside by the multiple patterns of the light guide plate. It is possible to make the person have the illusion that it spreads from the center or that it is moving forward, and it is possible to make the player feel that the playing state will change. In this way, since it is possible to show the player a moving light emitting display like an animation, the moving light emitting display by the front light guide plate 2610, which has never been seen in the pachinko machine 1 so far, is strong against the player. It can give an impact, can strongly attract the interest of the player, and can make the player think that an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous will occur. It is possible to raise expectations and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is mounted in the frame of the center bonus 2500 in which the center bonus 2500 is mounted in the center of the front view game area 5a, even if the pattern 2614 is light-emitting by the LED 2630, it emits light. The displayed pattern 2614 does not interfere with the game in the game area 5a, and the area where the game is actually performed can be visually recognized from the player side in good condition, making the game difficult to see. It is possible to prevent the player from giving a feeling of distrust and to enjoy the game in a good condition.

Further, since the light guide plate main body 2611 of the front light guide plate 2610 is fitted into the fixed recess 2621 of the reflector 2620, the front light guide plate 2610 and the reflector 2620 are compared with the case where the light guide plate main body 2611 is attached by two members as in the conventional case. It is possible to eliminate the rattling between the and, and the plurality of LEDs 2630 can be reliably positioned at a desired position with respect to the front light guide plate 2610. Therefore, since the LED 2630 can be reliably positioned with respect to the specific light input unit 2612 of the front light guide plate 2610, the light from the LED 2630 can be reliably irradiated to the corresponding specific light input unit 2612, and only the intended pattern 2614 can be displayed. It is possible to reliably display the light emission.

Further, since the pattern 2614 is formed by a plurality of reflection recesses 2613 extending in a direction perpendicular to the straight line connected to the specific light input unit 2612, the plurality of specific light input units 2612 are formed on the light guide plate main body 2611. It can be arranged on a specific side (here, the upper side) on the peripheral edge, and by arranging a plurality of specific light receiving portions 2612 on the upper side of the light guide plate main body 2611, the front cover 2650 (reflector 2620 and a plurality of LEDs 2630) is guided. It can be arranged only on the upper side of the light plate main body 2611. As a result, the outer periphery of the light guide plate main body 2611 is not surrounded by the front cover 2650 (reflector 2620 or a plurality of LEDs 2630), and the front cover (frame body) is provided over the entire circumference of the light guide plate main body 2611. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the effect image and the decorative body of the effect display device 1600 arranged at the rear from being partitioned, so that the effect image and the like can be easily seen from the player side, and the player can see the effect image. It is possible to entertain the staging image in a good state and suppress the deterioration of the interest, and it is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 with a feeling of openness because there is no frame-shaped partition in the game area 5a in the front view. It is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 having an appealing power that attracts the attention of the player by improving the appearance in the game area 5a.

Further, as described above, since a single front light guide plate 2610 can display a plurality of (four in this case) patterns 2614 by light emission, it is not necessary to use a plurality of light guide plates as in the conventional case, and a plurality of patterns are used. Since the dimension in the front-rear direction related to the light emission display of the picture 2614 can be made as small (thin) as possible and the front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the center accessory 2500, the front light guide plate 2610 can be moved to the player side. The position can be set as close as possible, and it is possible to easily secure a wide space behind the front light guide plate 2610. Therefore, since a large space can be secured on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610, the lower movable effect unit 3100, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc. can be secured on the rear side of the front light guide plate 2610. Can be arranged, thereby improving the appearance in the game area 5a and making the pachinko machine 1 highly appealing to the player. By performing movable effects by the unit 3100, the upper rear movable effect unit 3200, the upper front movable effect unit 3300, etc., it is possible to provide a variety of effects to the player, entertaining the player and suppressing the deterioration of the interest. be able to.

Further, since the front light guide plate 2610 is attached to the frame-shaped center accessory 2500, the peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 (reflector 2620) can be obtained by matching the peripheral edge of the front light guide plate 2610 with the frame of the center accessory 2500. And a plurality of LEDs 2630) can be made difficult to see from the player side, and it can be made difficult for the player to notice the existence of the front light guide plate 2610. It is possible to give a strong impact to the player who thought that the 2610 does not exist and surprise it, and to entertain the light emission display of multiple patterns 2614 by the front light guide plate 2610 and suppress the deterioration of the interest. can.

Further, since the front cover 2650 hides the plurality of LEDs 2630 and the reflector 2620 from the player side, it is possible to prevent the reflector 2620 and the like from being seen and the appearance in the game area 5a from being deteriorated. , The appearance in the game area 5a can be improved, the appealing power to the player can be enhanced, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily selected as the pachinko machine to be played. It is possible to entertain the game and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the front cover 2650 hides the plurality of LEDs 2630 from the player side, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the existence of the front light guide plate 2610 using the plurality of LEDs 2630. By making the picture 2614 of the front light guide plate 2610 emit light, the player can be greatly surprised by the light emission display that the player did not anticipate, and the light emission display of the picture 2614 can be enjoyed, and the player can enjoy the light emission display. It is possible to make people think that there is something good about the game, raise expectations for the game, and suppress the decline in interest.

Further, since the staging display device 1600 capable of displaying the staging image is provided behind the front light guide plate 2610, the light emission display of a plurality of different patterns 2614 by the front light guide plate 2610 and the staging image by the staging display device 1600.

By displaying a staging image related to a plurality of patterns 2614 that are emitted and displayed on the front light guide plate 2610, it is possible to give a sense of depth and a three-dimensional effect to the patterns 2614 that are emitted and displayed. , A staging (display staging) that can strongly attract the player's interest can be shown to the player, and the player can be entertained and the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed.

Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the game board 5 having the game area 5a has a left slider 3212 that moves in the vertical direction and an upper rear left decorative body 3220 in which decorations are formed on the right slider 3232. An upper rear left decorative board and an upper rear right decorative board on which a plurality of LEDs for emitting and decorating the upper rear right decorative body 3240, the upper rear left decorative body 3220, and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are mounted are attached. Therefore, the weight applied to the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 is heavy, and the force for moving the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 downward due to gravity is greatly exerted. In this state, when the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) is transported or the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) is installed in the island facility of the game hall, the pachinko machine 1 is tilted or vibrates in the pachinko machine 1. When a force for moving the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 further acts, the upper rear left drive motor 3214, the upper rear right drive motor 3234, and the left slider 3212 and Since the clutch mechanism 3250 is provided between the right slider 3232 (upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240), the clutch mechanism 3250 is caused by the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 trying to descend. Even if the output member 3253 on the output side of the above is about to rotate, the roller 3254 is pressed against the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 by the cam surface 3253b of the output member 3253, and the roller 3254 is moved between the inner surface of the accommodating case 3251 and the cam surface 3253b. It becomes a bitten state, and a force for rotating the housing case 3251 acts on the plurality of rollers 3254. At this time, since the outer peripheral side of the accommodating case 3251 is tightened by the tightening spring 3255, frictional resistance is generated between the accommodating case 3251 and the tightening spring 3255, and the accommodating case is interposed via the plurality of rollers 3254. The frictional resistance generated between the accommodating case 3251 and the tightening spring 3255 resists the force for rotating the 3251, so that the accommodating case 3251 does not rotate and the rotation of the output member 3253 is locked. It becomes a state. As described above, the output is performed according to the rotational load from the output member 3253 side (upper rear left decorative body 3220 side and upper rear right decorative body 3240 side) to the upper rear left drive motor 3214 side and the upper rear right drive motor 3234 side. Since the rotation of the member 3253 is locked, it is possible to restrict the left slider 3212 and the right slider 3232 from descending arbitrarily. Therefore, since the clutch mechanism 3250 can lock the movement of the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240, the upper rear left decorative body 3220 and the upper rear right decorative body 3240 are arbitrary during transportation or installation.

When the main control board 1310 receives an 8-bit wide radio wave goto notification command from the payout control board 633, the main control board 1310 sets the radio wave goto notification command to an 8-bit width to a 16-bit width and sets the radio wave goto warning sound to the maximum volume. It is shaped so that the radio wave goto can be notified by setting the various LEDs to the warning notification light emission mode (for example, the light emission mode blinking in red) while flowing from various speakers, and transmitting the signal to the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control board 1510 receives a radio wave goto notification command having a width of 16 bits, the effect display device 1600 displays a large message "An abnormality has occurred" and controls various LEDs to a warning notification light emission mode. do.

Instead of the radio wave sensor 594, a contact type ball passing sensor 594'which is a contact type ON / OFF operation type mechanical switch may be used. The detection signal from the contact type ball passing sensor 594'is input to the payout control board 633, and the payout control board 633 has the detection signal from the payout detection sensor 591 and the detection signal from the contact type ball passing sensor 594'. Based on this, when the number of balls paid out from the game ball B does not match, it can be configured so that it can be determined that some kind of fraud has been performed. When the payout control board 633 determines that some kind of fraud has been performed, it urgently stops the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 and transmits a goto notification command to that effect to the main control board 1310. At this time, the payout control board 633 may be configured to output a goto notification signal to the hall computer via the external terminal board 558. When the main control board 1310 receives an 8-bit wide goto notification command from the payout control board 633, the goto notification command is set to an 8-bit width to a 16-bit width, and the goto warning sound is set to the maximum volume from various speakers. Along with the flow, various LEDs are set to a warning notification light emission mode (for example, a light emission mode blinking in red), and the message is shaped so that the goto can be notified and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. When the peripheral control board 1510 receives a Goto notification command having a 16-bit width, the effect display device 1600 displays a large message "An abnormality has occurred" and controls various LEDs in a warning notification light emission mode. ..

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the payout motor 584 is a stepping motor, but it may be a DC motor. In this case, when the DC motor is step-driven, the rotation axis is configured to step-rotate at 18 degrees as a predetermined angle accordingly. That is, the DC motor rotates its rotation axis by 18 degrees in one step rotation.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 is passed through the drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the payout gear 588a of the payout gear member 588, which constitute the rotation transmission member. It was configured to be able to decelerate and rotate the payout blade 589, but the rotation shaft of the payout motor 584 was rotated at a low speed to rotate a rotation transmission member (a plurality of gears (for example, the first transmission gear 586',, etc.). The speed may be increased and the payout blade 589 may be rotated via the second transmission gear 587'and the payout gear 588a')) of the payout gear member 588. In this way, the speed increase ratio of the rotation transmission member is determined in advance so that the number of step drives to the payout motor 584, which is commensurate with the delivery of one game ball by the payout blade 589, is not an integer. The positioning position is different each time one ball is paid out. As a result, the contact positions between the game ball and the payout blade 589 are different each time, so that the positions where tar and dust adhere can be dispersed. Further, of course, if the speed increase ratio of the rotation transmission member described above is set so as to cause such a positioning error, the error is accumulated, but even if the error is accumulated every time one game ball is discharged, the payout blade 589 The rotation angle is detected by a plurality of detection pieces 588b (light-shielding pieces) of the payout gear member 588 provided coaxially with the rotation axis of the payout blade 589, and is reset when the accumulated error accumulates to some extent. As a result, the accuracy of the number of game balls to be paid out is guaranteed. Therefore, even in the pachinko machine 1 in which the speed increase ratio of such a rotation transmission member is determined in advance, the rotation position of the payout blade 589 that receives and sends out the game ball is changed every time the game ball is paid out, and the tar and dust are changed. By dispersing the positions to which the shavings adhere, it is possible to have a dispensing device 580 that is strong against tar and dust.

If there is a margin in the distance dimension of, the distance dimension of the first predetermined height and the distance dimension of the second predetermined height may be configured as the same predetermined height distance dimension, or the second predetermined height distance dimension may be configured. The distance dimension of the predetermined height may be configured to be larger than the distance dimension of the first predetermined height. Even with this configuration, it is possible to take measures against electromagnetic noise by accommodating various electronic components and the like that are easily affected by electromagnetic noise in the first space 1505a, and heat is contained in the second space 1505b. By not accommodating the various electronic components and the like that generate the noise, the heat generated from the various electronic components and the like in the first space 1505a can be efficiently transferred to the second space 1505b via the metal shield plate 1540.
