As shown in FIGS. 34(c) and 34(d), the conventional cylinder lock 130 has a rotation transmitting member 133 on the axis of the cylinder body 131. 34(a) and 34(b), etc., a rotation transmission member 133 is provided at a position spaced downward from the axis of the cylinder body 131. As shown in FIGS.

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

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

Thus, when the first cam member 134 rotates counterclockwise from the normal state, force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, causing the second cam member 135 to rotate counterclockwise. direction, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135 . The force that acts upward due to the counterclockwise rotation of the first cam member 134 is generated by the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134 and the portion where the first cam member 134 is attached. 134 is proportional to the horizontal distance from the center of rotation. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates counterclockwise from the normal state, the force acting upward on the first arm 136 decreases, while the force acting upward on the second arm 137 decreases. greater power to do so.

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

It should be noted that when the key is turned counterclockwise from the normal state by 90 degrees and then rotated clockwise by 90 degrees to return to the normal state, the action opposite to the above is performed. It will work.

On the other hand, when the key inserted into the keyhole 132 is used to rotate the first cam member 134 clockwise through the cylinder of the cylinder body 131 from the normal state, the upper end side of the first cam member 134 rotates to the right of the center of rotation. As the first arm 136 attached to the side moves downward, the second arm 137 attached to the lower end of the rotation center of the first cam member 134 moves upward. At this time, since the upper end side of the first arm 136 is attached to the right of the center of rotation of the first cam member 134, the second cam member 135 is rotated clockwise by the first arm 136. On the other hand, the upper end of the second arm 137 is attached below the center of rotation of the first cam member 134, so that the second cam member 135 is rotated clockwise from the second arm 137. Almost no force acts to rotate in the direction of .

Thus, when the first cam member 134 rotates clockwise from the normal state, force is transmitted mainly through the first arm 136, causing the second cam member 135 to rotate clockwise. It rotates, and the rotation transmission member 133 rotates together with the second cam member 135 . The force that transmits the rotation of the first cam member 134 by the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 to the second cam member 135 is the portion where the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 are attached to the first cam member 134. , and the center of rotation of the first cam member 134 in the horizontal direction. Therefore, as the first cam member 134 rotates clockwise from the normal state, the force of the first arm 136 that tends to rotate the second cam member 135 decreases. The arm 137 exerts a greater force to rotate the second cam member 135 .

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

It should be noted that when the key is turned clockwise from the normal state by 90 degrees and then rotated clockwise by 90 degrees to return to the normal state, the operation is reversed to that described above. It will be done.

As described above, according to the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, in which the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 are phased at an angle of 90 degrees to each other, are attached. , so that at least one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 is engaged regardless of the rotational position of the first cam member 134 (the key inserted into the keyhole 132). , the second cam member 135 (rotation transmission member 133) can be rotated, and the locking and unlocking of the door frame 3 and the body frame 4 can be improved.

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

Further, as described above, even if the position of the cylinder main body 131 is changed in the door frame 3, there is no need to change the locking unit 650 in the main body frame 4, so that the locking unit 650 can be used. cost increase can be suppressed.

By the way, in the conventional cylinder lock 130A, since the rotation transmission member 133 is provided behind the cylinder body 131, a fraudulent person who has knowledge of the structure may insert a tool behind the cylinder body 131 from the front. By illegally rotating the rotation transmission member 133 with the tool, the door frame 3 may be opened to commit a fraudulent act. On the other hand, in the cylinder lock 130 of the present embodiment, since the rotation transmission member 133 is provided at a position away from the axis (rear) of the cylinder body 131, a tool can be inserted behind the cylinder body 131. Even if an attempt is made to rotate the rotation transmission member 133, since the rotation transmission member 133 does not exist at the relevant portion, the rotation transmission member 133 cannot be rotated, and the door frame 3, the body frame 4, etc. are opened. can be prevented from occurring.

Furthermore, in the cylinder lock 130, the second arm 137 connects the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 to the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135, which are separated by a rotation angle of 90 degrees. A straight line connecting the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135 at the part attached to one of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 of the one arm 136 or the second arm 137 Even when positioned above, the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 connects the parts farthest from the straight line connecting the center of the first cam member 134 and the center of the second cam member 135. be in a state where Therefore, by positioning one of the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 at the dead center of the first cam member 134 and the second cam member 135 , the rotation from the first cam member 134 is transferred to the second cam member 135 . Since the other of the first arm 136 or the second arm 137 can transmit the rotation from the first cam member 134 to the second cam member 135 even if it cannot be transmitted, the rotation of the first cam member 134 The key inserted in the keyhole 132 can be smoothly rotated without a large resistance to rotation, and unlocking/locking can be easily performed, and the key inserted in the keyhole can be forcibly rotated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the key from being damaged.

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

In addition, the rotation of the key inserted into the keyhole 132 is transmitted to the rotation transmission member 133 provided at an eccentric position by the smooth rod-shaped (strip-shaped) first arm 136 and second arm 137. Therefore, if the rotation is transmitted by a gear, the tip of the tool may be hooked on the teeth of the gear, causing the gear to rotate and the rotation transmission member 133 to rotate. Since the arm 136 and the second arm 137 have a rod shape with a smooth surface, it is possible to prevent the tip of the tool from being caught on the first arm 136 and the second arm 137, thereby preventing the first arm 136 and the second arm 137 from moving. It is possible to prevent the rotation transmission member 133 from being rotated, and to reliably prevent the door frame 3 and the body frame 4 from being unlocked due to illegal operation of the locking unit 650.例文帳に追加be able to.

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

[3-1i. Ball feeding unit]
The ball feeding unit 140 of the door frame base unit 100 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 37 and 38. FIG. FIG. 37(a) is a front perspective view of the ball feeding unit of the door frame base unit, and FIG. 37(b) is a rear perspective view of the ball feeding unit. FIG. 38(a) is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit as seen from the front, and (b) is an exploded perspective view of the ball feeding unit as seen from the rear with the rear case and the tamper-proof member removed. be.

The ball feeding member 144 is rotatably supported about an axis extending vertically between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and the ball feeding member 144 is rotated. A ball feed solenoid 145 is provided.

As shown in the figure, the ball feeding unit 140 has a ball feeding member 144 arranged on the right side of the entry port 141a in a front view, and a ball extracting member 143 on the left side of the ball feeding member 144. A ball feeding solenoid 145 is arranged on the right side of the feeding member 144 .

The front cover 141 of the ball feeding unit 140 has an arcuate slit 141c formed concentrically with respect to the center of rotation of the ball extracting member 143 on the left side of the ball extracting port 141b in front view. An operating rod 143c of a ball extracting member 143, which will be described later, extends forward from 141c. The upper side of the front cover 141 extends upward from the upper edge of the entry port 141a. And, it is formed so as to close from the rear side the portion that is open rearward on the upstream end side of the ball removal guideway 241c.

The ball extraction member 143 has a partition portion 143a which partitions between the entrance port 141a and the ball extraction port 141b on the lower side of the entrance port 141a and whose upper surface becomes lower toward the ball feeding member 144, and the partition portion 143a. Extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feeding member 144 and bends in a dogleg shape from near the middle in the vertical direction toward the center of the lower side of the ball outlet 141b. a rod-shaped operating rod 143c protruding forward from the upper end of the rotating rod 143b; and the rotating rod 143b below the operating rod 143c. and a weight portion 143d projecting from the side surface to the side opposite to the partition portion 143a. An operating rod 143c of the ball removing member 143 is formed to project forward through an arcuate slit 141c formed in the front cover 141 (see FIG. 37(a)). The actuating rod 143c is the upper end of the operation transmitting portion 242b of the upper tray ball removal slider 242 that moves downward when the upper tray ball removal button 222 of the tray unit 200 is pressed through the ball feeding opening 101e of the door frame base 101 ( upper surface).

The ball feeding member 144 has a fan-shaped cut-off portion 144a centered on a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction toward the entrance port 141a and the partition portion 143a of the ball extraction member 143, and a cut-off portion 144a behind the cut-off portion 144a. It has a ball holding portion 144b recessed in an arc shape from the end toward the center of the rotation shaft, and a rod-shaped rod portion 144c extending downward from the rear end of the ball holding portion 144b. The blocking portion 144a and the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 are formed adjacent to each other within an angular range of about 180° around the rotation axis. Also, the ball holding portion 144b of the ball feeding member 144 has a size capable of holding one game ball B. As shown in FIG. The ball feeding member 144 rotates about the rotational axis by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145 to move the rod portion 144c, which is arranged at a position eccentric to the rotational axis, in the left-right direction.

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

Further, the ball feeding unit 140 includes a ball feeding operating rod 146 whose tip swings vertically by driving (energization) of a ball feeding solenoid 145, and a tip of the ball feeding working rod 146 which swings vertically. and a ball feeding crank 147 which rotates around an axis extending in the front-rear direction by movement of the ball feeding member 144 and rotates the ball feeding member 144 around an axis extending in the vertical direction.

The ball feeding actuation rod 146 has an iron plate 146a below the ball feeding solenoid 145. As shown in FIG. The ball feeding operating rod 146 extends left and right, and the end (right end) opposite to the ball feeding crank 147 is attached to the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 so as to be rotatable around the longitudinally extending axis. It is When the ball-feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball-feeding operating rod 146 draws the iron plate 146a toward (upward) the ball-feeding solenoid 145 due to the magnetic force generated, thereby feeding the ball around the right end. The left end near the crank 147 rotates so as to move upward. After that, when the driving 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 near the ball feeding crank 147 moves downward around the right end. and return to the initial state. As a result, the left end (tip) of the ball feed operating rod 146 near the ball feed crank 147 is vertically swung by the ball feed solenoid 145 .

The ball feeding crank 147 engages with an engaging portion 147a extending in the left-right direction which can be engaged with the tip of the ball feeding operating rod 146 which moves up and down, and the ball feeding operating rod 146 of the engaging portion 147a. A shaft portion 147b is disposed on the opposite side of the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142 and is rotatably supported around an axis extending in the front-rear direction between the front cover 141 and the rear cover 142, and the shaft portion 147b extends upward from the shaft portion 147b. , and a transmission portion 147c that engages with a rod-shaped rod portion 144c (see FIG. 38(b)) projecting downward from a position eccentric to the rotation center of the ball feeding member 144. As shown in FIG.

This ball feeding unit 140 operates a ball feeding crank 147 via the ball feeding operating rod 146 by moving the tip (left end) of the ball feeding operating rod 146 upward by driving the ball feeding solenoid 145. It can be rotated around an axis extending back and forth.

In the ball feeding unit 140, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is not driven (normal time), 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 positioned at the supply position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven, the ball feeding actuation rod 146 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 145 so that the tip (left end) is positioned upward, and the ball feeding member 144 is in the holding position. rotate to. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 145 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 144 receives one game ball B, and when the driving of the ball feeding solenoid 145 is released (OFF state), The game ball B received by the ball feeding member 144 can be sent (supplied) to the ball launching device 540 side. The drive of the ball feed solenoid 145 in the ball feed unit 140 is controlled in synchronization with the drive control of the discharge solenoid 542 by the discharge control section 633b (see FIG. 169) of the payout control board 633.

Also, the ball feeding unit 140 is applied with a moment to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front by the rotatably supported ball extraction member 143 or the weight 143d. However, the actuating rod 143c protruding forward of the ball extracting member 143 may contact the upper end of the operation transmission portion 242b of the upper dish ball extracting slider 242 which is operated by pressing the upper dish ball extracting button 222 of the dish unit 200. Since the rotation is restricted, the partition 143a of the ball removal member 143 is positioned between the entrance port 141a and the ball removal port 141b in a normal state to partition the ball removal port 141b side. The game ball B does not enter into.

When the player presses downward the upper tray ball release button 222 of the tray unit 200, the upper tray ball release slider 242 slides downward together with the operation transmission portion 242b, and the operation transmission portion 242b moves downward. Accordingly, the operating rod 143c also moves relatively downward. When the operation rod 143c moves downward together with the operation transmission part 242b, the ball removal member 143 rotates counterclockwise in a front view, and the partition part 143a moves from between the inlet 141a and the ball removal opening 141b. partition is removed. As a result, the game ball B entering from the inlet 141a falls to the side of the ball outlet 141b, and is discharged from the ball outlet 141b to the ball removal guideway 241c of the upper tray post-ball removal unit 240 in the plate unit 200, It can be discharged (supplied) to the lower tray 202 through the lower tray ball supply port 211c.

In addition, since the upper tray ball extraction slider 242 formed with the operation transmission part 242b with which the operation rod 143c of the ball extraction member 143 abuts is biased upward by the spring, the game ball B is placed on the partition part 143a. Even if the game ball B is supplied vigorously, the impact can be absorbed by the spring via the operating rod 143c, preventing the ball extracting member 143 and the like from being damaged, and the game ball B being caught in the partition portion 143a. You can prevent bouncing.

In addition, the ball feeding unit 140 is formed with a rectangular attachment recess 142b (see FIG. 38(b), etc.) recessed forward and to the upper right when viewed from the back of the batted ball feed port 142a in the rear cover 142. An anti-tampering member 148 is mounted in the mounting recess 142b. The tamper-proof member 148 of the ball feeding unit 140 is made of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is detachably attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142 from the rear side.

The anti-tampering member 148 has a rectangular shape extending left and right when viewed from the front. A lower piece portion 148b and an inclined portion 148c formed in a C-chamfered shape on the tip side (right end side in front view) of the sides of the upper piece portion 148a and the lower piece portion 148b facing each other are provided. . The upper piece 148a of the anti-tamper member 148 is bent with respect to the general surface of the anti-tamper member 148 so that the right end in a front view protrudes rearward. The lower piece 148b extends flush with the general surface of the tamper-proof member 148. As shown in FIG. As a result, in plan view, the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b form a V-shaped groove that widens toward the right.

The anti-tampering member 148 is attached to the mounting recess 142b of the rear cover 142, so that the V-shaped groove formed by the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b communicates with the ball supply port 142a. Become.

According to this tampering prevention member 148, an illicit game ball B to which a string is attached is hit into the game area 5a by the ball launching device 540 from the upper tray via the ball feeding unit 140, and attached to the illicit game ball B. When a fraudulent act is performed such as operating the string that has been set to let the illegal game ball B enter and exit the first starting port 2002, etc., the illegal game ball B shot (hit ball) by the ball launching device 540 is released. By force, the string attached to the illegal game ball B is inserted between the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b, and then the V shape formed by the upper piece 148a and the lower piece 148b. It can be cut by the portion with a narrowed shape, and it is possible to prevent a fraudulent act using a fraudulent game ball B to which a string is attached.

When the lower plate 202 of the plate unit 200 is filled with the game balls B and the game balls B are no longer discharged from the ball discharge port 150d to the lower plate 202 side, the foul cover unit 150 is kept inside the storage passage 150e to some extent. The number of game balls B can be stored. When a certain number of game balls B are stored in the storage passage 150e, the weight of the game balls B causes the upper end of the movable piece 153 to move away from the storage passage 150e against the biasing force of the spring 155. 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 tray 202 is filled with the game balls B, so when the full tank detection sensor 154 detects that the tank is full, the further payout of the game balls B is stopped. At the same time, the fact can be notified to the player, the staff of the game hall, or the like, and they can be urged to eliminate the full tank of the lower tray 202.例文帳に追加

Further, the foul cover unit 150 is attached to the rear side of the unit main body 151 and below the penetrating ball passage 150a. A door opening/closing abutting portion 150f with which the operating projection 613a of the door 613 can abut is provided (see FIG. 90). The door opening/closing contact portion 150f is inclined so that the rear surface moves forward as it goes downward. When the operating protrusion 613a of the payout passage opening/closing door 613 abuts against the door opening/closing abutment portion 150f, the payout passage opening/closing door 613 is rotated, and the downstream ends of the lower normal payout passage 610a and the lower full payout passage 610b ( front opening) can be opened.

A main body portion 171 of the crime prevention cover 170 is formed such that its lower end protrudes downward beyond the lower end of the glass unit 160 when attached to the door frame base unit 100 . Further, the upper end of the body portion 171 is formed in a shape along the lower end of the game area 5a on the game board 5 when assembled to the pachinko machine 1 . More specifically, the upper end of the body portion 171 is shaped along a portion of an inner rail 1002, an out guide portion 1003, a portion of a lower right rail 1004, and a right rail 1005 of a front component 1000, which will be described later. It is formed so as not to protrude into the game area 5a when assembled to the pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加

The rear projecting piece 172 is formed over substantially the entire circumference of the outer peripheral edge of the body portion 171 . Therefore, the security cover 170 is formed into a shallow box-like shape that is opened rearward by the main body portion 171 and the rear projecting piece 172, and has high strength and rigidity. The rear projecting piece 172 also protrudes rearward from a portion of the rear surface of the main body portion 171 that is different from the outer peripheral edge of the main body portion 171 .

In addition, the rear projecting piece 172 is not formed at a portion positioned between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 of the game board 5 in the assembled state of the pachinko machine 1 . As a result, the game ball B passing between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 (the game ball B shot by the ball shooting device 540) does not come into contact with the rear projecting piece 172 of the security cover 170, and the game area is It does not hinder the hitting of the game ball B into 5a.

A 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). Thereby, the security cover 170 can be easily attached to and detached from the door frame base unit 100 .

When the security cover 170 is assembled to the pachinko machine 1, the front surface of the main body 171 abuts the rear surface of the glass unit 160 (the rear end of the glass frame 161), and the part protruding rearward from the lower side of the main body 171 is The removed rear projecting piece 172 is inserted into the security recess 1009 of the front structural member 1000 . In addition, the security cover 170 is in a state in which the rear protrusion 172 protruding rearward from the lower side of the main body portion 171 protrudes rearward from the front surface of the front structural member 1000 so as to be in contact with the lower surface of the front structural member 1000 . . As a result, the space between the security cover 170 and the game board 5 (the front component 1000) is in a complicatedly bent state by the rear projecting piece 172 of the security cover 170 and the security recess 1009 of the front component 1000. Even if an illegal tool such as a piano wire tries to enter the game area 5a through between the crime prevention cover 170 and the front component member 1000 from the lower front surface of the board 5, it will be blocked by the rear projecting piece 172 and the crime prevention concave portion 1009. , it is possible to prevent unauthorized tools from entering the game area 5a.

FIG. 41(a) is an enlarged front view showing the portion of the handle unit and the handle cover unit in the door frame, and (b) is an enlarged perspective view showing the portion of the handle unit and the handle cover unit in the door frame. 42 is an exploded perspective view of the handle cover unit viewed from the front, and FIG. 43 is an exploded perspective view of the handle cover unit viewed from the rear. 44 is an exploded perspective view of the handle unit as seen from the front, and FIG. 45 is an exploded perspective view of the handle unit as seen from the rear. FIG. 46 is a cross-sectional view taken along line E--E in FIG. 41(a). FIG. 47 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A--A in FIG. Note that FIG. 46 is a sectional view of only the door frame 3 with the outer frame 2 and the body frame 4 omitted.

The handle unit 180 of this embodiment is attached to the door frame base unit 100 and the tray unit 200 together with the handle cover unit 290 that covers the outer circumference, and the game ball B in the upper tray 201 is moved by the player's operation. It can be driven into the game area 5 a of the game board 5 .

First, the handle unit 180 will be described. The handle unit 180 is rotatably attached to the front end of the handle base 181, the rear end of which is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 via the handle cover base 291 of the handle cover unit 290, which will be described later. a plurality of handle guides 196 attached to the rear side of the handle 195 and guided by a handle cover base 291 to be described later; A cover pedestal 183, a handle decoration substrate 184 attached to the front side of the cover pedestal 183 and having a plurality of LEDs 184a mounted on the front surface, and a handle attached to the cover pedestal 183 so as to cover the front side of the handle decoration substrate 184. a front lens 185;

The handle unit 180 has an inner base 186 attached to the front surface of the handle base 181 on the rear side of the handle 195, and the handle 195 is attached to the front end of the handle unit 180. A shaft member 187 having a drive gear portion 187a, a transmission gear 188 meshing with the drive gear portion 187a of the shaft member 187, and a detection shaft 189a that rotates integrally with the transmission gear 188. and a handle rotation detection sensor 189 sandwiched between the base 186 and the base 186 .

One end of the handle unit 180 is attached to the handle base 181 and the other end of the handle unit 180 is attached to the handle 195 so that the handle 195 can be returned to the initial rotation position (the rotation end in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front). A biasing handle return spring 190, one end of which is attached to an inner base 186 and the other end of which is attached to a transmission gear 188, rotates a detection shaft 189a of a handle rotation detection sensor 189 clockwise when viewed from the front. and an auxiliary spring 191 biasing in the direction.

The handle unit 180 includes a handle touch sensor 192 attached to the handle base 181 behind the inner base 186, and a front end protruding outward from the left side of the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the handle base 181 when viewed from the front. A single-shot button 193 whose end side is attached to the handle base 181 behind the inner base 186 so as to be rotatable around an axis extending back and forth, and a single-shot button 193 attached to the handle base 181 by detecting the pressing operation of the single-shot button 193. and an operation sensor 194 .

The handle base 181 of the handle unit 180 includes a cylindrical base portion 181a extending back and forth, a disc-shaped front end portion 181b protruding radially from the front end of the base portion 181a, and recessed from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical base portion 181a. and three groove portions 181c extending in the axial direction and formed at unequal intervals in the circumferential direction. The base portion 181 a of the handle base 181 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rear cylindrical portion 291 c of the handle cover base 291 in the handle cover unit 290 . Also, the three grooves 181c are formed at positions corresponding to three protrusions 291d of the handle cover base 291, which will be described later. Therefore, the base portion 181a can be inserted into the rear cylindrical portion 291c of the handlebar cover base 291 with the three grooves 181c aligned with the three protrusions 291d, and the protrusions 291d can be inserted into the three grooves 181c. is inserted, the handle base 181 is brought into a state in which it cannot rotate relative to the handle cover base 291 .

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

The three spoke portions 195b of the handle 195 rotate clockwise and clockwise around one spoke portion 195b horizontally extending leftward from the central hub portion 195a when the handle 195 is in a free state (not rotated). Two spokes 195b extend counterclockwise from 120 degree angles. The three spoke portions 195b extend to such a length that a gap is formed between the central hub portion 195a and the outer peripheral ring portion 195c so that a player's finger can be inserted thereinto.

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

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

The handle guide 196 has a U-shaped guide portion 196a that opens toward the center of the handle 195, and a flat mounting stay 196b that extends toward the center from the front end of the guide portion 196a. there is The mounting stays 196b of the three handle guides 196 are attached to the rear side of the spoke portions 195b of the handle 195 so that the guide portions 196a are positioned behind the outer peripheral ring portion 195c of the handle 195 . A guide piece 291g of a handle cover base 291, which will be described later, is inserted into the guide portion 196a of the handle guide 196, thereby restricting movement in the front-rear direction.

The cover pedestal 183 is formed in the shape of a disk having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the central hub portion 195a of the handle 195, and has three mounting bosses 183a projecting rearward from the rear surface. The three mounting bosses 183a are mounted on the front surface of the handle base 181 through the slits 195d of the handle 195 from the front. Since the mounting boss 183a of the cover pedestal 183 passes through the slit 195d of the handle 195, the mounting boss 183a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 195d, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 195. In this example, the handle 195 can be rotated within an angle of rotation of approximately 120 degrees.

The number of handle decoration substrates 184 is 1 in the center, 3 in the middle circumference at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, and 6 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction along the outer circumference, for a total of 10. LEDs 184a (full-color LEDs) are mounted in triple concentric circles. These LEDs 184a are divided into 5 groups: 1 in the center, 3 in the middle, 2 in the upper left corner of the outer circumference, 2 in the upper right corner of the outer circumference, and 2 in the lower part of the outer circumference. (see Figure 72). This handle decoration board 184 is mounted with a 24-bit LED driver 184b having a unique address for causing each LED 184a to emit light. This LED driver 184b can control up to 24 systems, and controls 10 LEDs 184a divided into 5 groups with 3 systems for a total of 15 systems so that each group can emit light in full color. I'm trying

Although not shown, the handle decoration board 184 has two power lines (one is a ground line) for supplying power to drive the LED 184a and the LED driver 184b, and a command and address line from the peripheral control board 1510. , and a clock line for synchronizing the LED driver 184b with the peripheral control board 1510 are connected. . Then, in the LED driver 184b of the handle decoration board 184, when a command addressed to the address is received via the control signal line from the peripheral control board 1510 (effect control board), it is divided into five groups according to the command. Each set of ten LEDs 184a can be illuminated with an appropriate color and intensity.

In this way, since the handle decoration board 184 has the LED driver 184b, the light emission of the LEDs 184a, which is larger in number than the number of electric wires constituting the wiring cable to be connected, can be individually (in this case, assembled). Since it is possible to control each unit, the number of electric wires can be reduced, and the configuration of electric wiring can be simplified.

The handle front lens 185 has a front surface that bulges forward and is translucent. The handle front lens 185 has a lens member inside which is three-dimensionally formed of a transparent member. The steering wheel front lens 185 is decorated with light emission by appropriately lighting the LED on the front surface of the steering wheel decoration substrate 184 .

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

The handle touch sensor 192 detects static electricity acting on the handle unit 180, detects static electricity acting from the player when the player touches the handle 195, and detects the player's contact with the handle 195. To detect. Then, when the handle 195 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 192 is detecting the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 189 is received, and the firing solenoid is fired with the strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 195. The drive of 542 is controlled, and the game ball B can be hit.

Therefore, even if the player tries to hit the game ball B into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 195 in some way without touching the handle 195, the handle touch sensor 192 does not detect the contact of the player. Therefore, the shooting solenoid 542 is not driven, and the game ball B cannot be hit. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 195 in a manner different from the original one to play the game, and it is possible to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

The one-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the pressing operation of the one-shot button 193 by the player. When the single-shot button operation sensor 194 detects the operation of the single-shot button 193, the ejection control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 stops the driving of the ejection solenoid 542. Therefore, when the player presses the single-shot button 193 while rotating the handle 195, the shooting of the game ball B can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotating operation of the handle 195, and the single-shot button can be pressed. By canceling the pressing operation of 193, the game ball B can be hit into the game area 5a again with the hitting strength before the single-shot button 193 is operated.

Next, the handle cover unit 290 will be explained. The handle cover unit 290 covers the outer periphery of the handle unit 180 on the rear side of the handle 195, and includes a handle cover base 291 whose rear end is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101, and the outer periphery of the handle cover base 291. An inner 292 whose rear end is attached to the plate unit main body 252 of the plate unit 200, an annular handle cover decorative substrate 293 provided on the front side of the inner 292 and having a plurality of LEDs 293a mounted on the front surface, An annular board cover 294 covering the handle cover decoration board 293 from the front and a handle cover 295 covering the outer periphery of the inner 292 and having the rear end attached to the plate unit main body 252 of the plate unit 200 are provided.

The handle cover base 291 includes a cylindrical front cylindrical portion 291a extending in the front-rear direction with an inner diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the outer peripheral ring portion 195c of the handle 195, and a front cylindrical portion 291a whose inner diameter decreases forward from the rear end of the front cylindrical portion 291a. a tubular rear tubular portion 291c penetrating through the intermediate wall portion 291b and extending in the front-rear direction with an inner diameter allowing insertion of the base portion 181a of the handle base 181; and the inner periphery of the rear tubular portion 291c.

Further, the handle cover base 291 has a flange portion 291e extending outward from a portion on the rear side of the front end of the outer circumference of the front cylindrical portion 291a, and a portion extending from the middle of the flange portion 291e to the same position as the front end of the front cylindrical portion 291a. a cylindrical outer cylinder portion 291f projecting forward to the front cylinder portion 291f; and an opening 291h penetrating at the lower portion of the portion 291a.

The middle wall portion 291b of the handle cover base 291 extends in an arcuate cross section from the rear end of the front cylindrical portion 291a to near the center in the front-rear direction. The rear cylindrical portion 291c is attached to the handle mounting seat surface 101b of the door frame base 101 at its rear end. The rear tubular portion 291c is formed to have the same length as the base portion 181a of the handle base 181, and the base portion 181a of the handle base 181 is inserted therein. The three protrusions 291d correspond to the three grooves 181c of the handle base 181, and by being inserted into the grooves 181c, the handle base 181 can be made relatively non-rotatable. The outer cylindrical portion 291f extends forward from a position outside the radial center of the flange portion 291e. In the handle cover base 291, a plurality of triangular ribs are provided in the circumferential direction so as to connect the front surface of the flange portion 291e and the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion 291f.

The guide piece 291g protrudes from the outer circumference of the front tubular portion 291a from the center between the outer circumference of the front tubular portion 291a and the inner circumference of the outer tubular portion 291f to a position near the front tubular portion 291a. The guide pieces 291g extend in the circumferential direction with a length in the range of about 110 degrees, and are provided three in the circumferential direction at intervals of 10 degrees. By inserting the rear end side of the guide portion 196a of the handle guide 196 in the handle unit 180 behind the guide piece 291g through the space between the guide pieces 291g and rotating the handle 195, a U-shaped guide portion is formed. A guide piece 291g can be positioned within 196a to restrict movement of the guide portion 196a (handle 195) in the front-rear direction.

The opening 291h extends from the rear end of the front cylindrical portion 291a to the vicinity of the flange portion 291e in the front-rear direction, and extends through the front cylindrical portion 291a with a size within an angle range of about 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. .

The inner member 292 has an annular base portion 292a with an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the front tubular portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 and an outer diameter larger than the flange portion 291e, and extends rearward from the outer peripheral edge of the base portion 292a. It has a leg portion 292b and a plurality of (here, four) notch portions 292c that are cut from the rear end of the leg portion 292b to the vicinity of the base portion 292a and are spaced apart in the circumferential direction. The base portion 292a is positioned behind the flange portion 291e with the front cylindrical portion 291a of the handle cover base 291 inserted from the front. The leg portion 292 b extends outward in a curved shape, and its rear end is attached to the plate unit main body 252 of the plate unit 200 .

Then, when the upper surface of the effect operation unit 350 is pushed downward and the effect operation unit 350 is lowered to the lower movement end against the biasing force of the lifting spring 365, the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 detects the pressing force. It is detected by sensor 373 . Thereby, the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected.

In addition, since the effect operation section unit 350 covers the upper part of the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal with the button main body 351, when the contact operation section 302 is operated, the upper surface of the smooth spherical button main body 351 is touched. As a result, the player does not directly touch the surface of the punching metal having unevenness due to the plurality of holes, and the player can smoothly operate the contact operation unit 302 . Further, since the contact detection body 352 is covered with the button body 351 , by forming minute unevenness or a plurality of streaks on the surface (upper surface) of the button body 351 , an arbitrary tactile sensation can be given to the contact operation part 302 . can be provided, the degree of freedom in designing the contact operation unit 302 can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that can entertain the player more can be provided.

In the above description, the button body 351 is transparent, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the button body 351 may be made opaque or translucent so that the lower side is difficult to see through the button body 351 . This makes it difficult to see the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal through the button body 351, so that the appearance of the effect operation unit 350 can be improved. Further, when the button body 351 is made opaque, it is desirable to have translucency. As a result, the button main body 351 can be illuminated with light emitted from the LED 355a of the outer button decoration board 355 and the LED 364a of the inner button decoration board 364 provided below. can entertain.

Thus, a space in which the projection force adjustment mechanism 380 is arranged is formed between the bottom wall of the main body portion 315a of the operating portion base 315 and the base main body 361a of the lifting mechanism base 361. As shown in FIG. A pair of through-holes 361c are provided in the base body 361a of the lifting mechanism base 361 at positions half the diameter of the base body 361a forward and rearward from the center.

The pair of guide shafts 362 pass through a pair of through-holes 361c provided in the base body 361a of the lifting mechanism base 361, forward and rearward from the center, at positions half the diameter of the base body 361a. .

The upper base 363 has a lower projection projecting downward. The lower protrusion of the upper base 363 is brought into contact with the upper protrusion of the gear cover 372 to form a space between the upper base 363 and the lifting mechanism base 361 in which the lifting cam member 371 can be accommodated. can.

A plurality of LEDs 364a mounted on the upper surface of the button middle decoration substrate 364 are full-color LEDs. The button interior decoration substrate 364 can light-embellish the central portion of the upper surface of the button body 351 by appropriately emitting light from a plurality of LEDs 364a.

The pair of lifting springs 365 are coil springs, through which the guide shaft 362 is inserted. The pair of lifting springs 365 have their lower ends in contact with the lower lifting spring holding members 385 of the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380 and their upper ends in contact with the button base 354 .

The elevation cam driving gear member 370 includes a spur gear-shaped gear portion 370a that meshes with the driven gear 369, a connecting portion 370b that protrudes upward from the gear portion 370a and is connected to the lower end of the elevation cam member 371, and the gear portion 370a. and an elevation detection piece 370c that protrudes downward in a cylindrical shape from the top and is notched at two opposing locations and is detected by an elevation detection sensor 374. The elevation cam driving gear member 370 is rotatably attached by inserting the central shaft 366 into the center of the gear portion 370a.

The elevation cam member 371 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is rotatably attached by inserting the central shaft 366 through the center. The elevation cam member 371 penetrates the gear cover 372 and is provided between the upper base 363 and the elevation mechanism base 361 . The elevating cam member 371 has a pair of cam portions 371a that are spaced apart by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction on the cylindrical outer peripheral surface and protrude outward.

The cam portion 371a includes a first cam 371b extending in the direction perpendicular to the axis near the lower end, a locking portion 371c recessed upward in the middle of the first cam 371b, and one of the first cams 371b. a second cam 371d extending upward from the end in parallel with the axis; a third cam 371e spirally extending upward from the end of the first cam 371b opposite to the second cam 371d; (see FIG. 55, etc.). The second cam 371 d and the third cam 371 e extend upward to the same height, and the adjacent cam portions 371 a are spaced apart by a distance smaller than the diameter of the guide pin 354 c of the button base 354 .

Further, the lift cam member 371 has a connected portion 371f that connects with the connecting portion 370b of the lift cam drive gear member 370 at its lower end.

The lift cam member 371 is configured so that when the second cam 371d of the cam portion 371a is rotated counterclockwise in plan view of the lift cam member 371, it extends upward from the rear end side of the first cam 371b. is formed in The elevation cam member 371 can guide the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 by the cam portion 371a by rotating, and the button base 354 (the effect operation portion unit 350) which is urged upward by the elevation spring 365. can be raised and lowered.

The pressing detection sensor 373 detects the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (press operation unit 303) by detecting the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 in the effect operation unit 350. The press detection sensor 373 constantly detects the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 when the effect operation section unit 350 is moved to the lowest position (normal state). This press detection sensor 373 is in a non-detection state because the detection piece 354d of the button base 354 is separated when the effect operation unit unit 350 is moved upward by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 from the normal state. Then, when the upper surface of the effect operation unit 350 is pressed downward and the effect operation unit 350 is lowered to the lower movement end against the biasing force of the lifting spring 365, the press detection sensor 373 detects the button base 354. The detection piece 354d can be detected to detect the pressing operation of the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303).

The elevation detection sensor 374 detects the elevation detection piece 370 c of the elevation cam drive gear member 370 , thereby detecting the elevation cam member 371 via the connected portion 371 f connected to the connection portion 370 b of the elevation cam drive gear member 370 . is detected.

The projection force detection sensor 375 detects the detection piece 385 d of the lift unsprung holding member 385 in the projection force adjustment mechanism 380 .

The effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 can vertically support the effect operation unit 350 via a button base 354 by a pair of guide shafts 362 arranged in the front-rear direction, and the button base 354 is lifted by a pair of elevating springs 365. The effect operation section unit 350 can be urged upward through it. In addition, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 rotates the elevation cam member 371 by the operation button elevation drive motor 367 to move the effect operation unit 350 (effect operation unit 301) up and down with respect to the effect operation unit cover unit 310. can be made In addition, the effect operation section elevating mechanism 360 can light-embellish the central portion of the upper surface of the button body 351 by appropriately lighting a plurality of LEDs 364a mounted on the button interior decoration substrate 364 .

In the normal state, the effect operation section elevating mechanism 360 has the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 engaged with the engaging section 371c provided on the lower end side of the elevating cam member 371 (FIG. 55(a)). ). In this normal state, the effect operation section unit 350 is positioned at the downward movement end via the button base 354, and even if the effect operation section unit 350 (pressing operation section 303) is pressed downward, the effect operation is performed. The part unit 350 does not move downward. Therefore, in a normal state, the pressing operation of the pressing operation portion 303 is not detected. In addition, in a normal state, the surface (upper surface) of the unit upper cover 312 of the effect operation section cover unit 310 and the upper surface of the button main body 351 of the effect operation section unit 350 match, and the effect operation section cover unit 310 and the button body 351 form one sphere.

In a normal state (state in which the effect operation section unit 350 is in the lowered position), when the operation button elevation drive motor 367 rotates the elevation drive gear 368 in a counterclockwise direction in a plan view, the elevation drive gear 368 is engaged. The elevation cam driving gear member 370 rotates counterclockwise in plan view via the driven gear 369, and the elevation cam member 371 connected to the elevation cam driving gear member 370 also rotates in the same direction. When the elevation cam member 371 rotates counterclockwise, the cam portion 371a seen from the front in FIG. The button base 354 moves slightly downward against the urging force of the lifting spring 365 via the guide pin 354c while rolling from the 371c to the left part of the engaging portion 371c of the first cam 371b.

Then, when the guide pin 354c, which rolls relatively leftward along the first cam 371b as the elevation cam member 371 rotates, is positioned from the left end of the first cam 371b toward the second cam 371d, the second cam member 371 rotates. Since the second cam 371d extends vertically upward with respect to the first cam 371b, the guide pin 354c is moved upward along the second cam 371d by the biasing force of the lift spring 365. At the same time, the button base 354 rises, and the effect operation section unit 350 is in the state of the raised position. In this state, since the detection piece 354d is separated from the pressure detection sensor 373, the pressure detection sensor 373 is in a non-detection state.

The lower lifting spring holding member 385 of the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380 with which the lower end of the lifting spring 365 abuts can be moved to various positions in the vertical direction by the protrusion force adjusting drive motor 381, although the details will be described later. can. Since the compression amount of the lifting spring 365 can be changed according to the vertical position of the lifting spring lower holding member 385, the effect operation unit 350 is lifted with a projecting force corresponding to the compression amount of the lifting spring 365. Can be protruded into position.

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

When the effect operation section unit 350 is in the raised position, the upper surface of the button base 354 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper base 363, and further upward movement of the button base 354 is restricted. In addition, when the effect operation unit 350 is in the raised position, the entire effect operation unit 350 (effect operation unit 301) is moved upward, and the upper surface part 351a of the button body 351 is above the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312. also protrudes upwards.

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

In this way, when the button base 354 contacts the gear cover 372, the detection piece 354d protruding downward from the button base 354 is detected by the pressure detection sensor 373, and the button main body 351 ( Pressing of the pressing operation portion 303) is detected.

In order to return the effect operation section unit 350 (pressing operation section 303) from the raised position to the lowered position, the operation button elevation drive motor 367 rotates the elevation cam member 371 counterclockwise in plan view. In (b), the third cam 371e, which is in contact with the upper left of the guide pin 354c of the button base 354, moves to the right (in the direction of the guide pin 354c). is pressed downward, and the button base 354 moves downward against the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 via the guide pin 354c.

In addition, when returning the effect operation section unit 350 to the lowered position, the protrusion force adjustment drive motor 381 of the protrusion force adjustment mechanism 380 moves the lifting spring lower holding member 385 downward to reduce the compression amount of the lifting spring 365. state (see FIG. 56). As a result, the urging force of the elevation spring 365 that urges the effect operation unit 350 upward is weakened, so that the force acting on the third cam 371e of the elevation cam member 371 via the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 also increases. It is possible to reduce the load applied to the operation button elevation drive motor 367 that rotates the elevation cam member 371, thereby reducing damage (failure) of the operation button elevation drive motor 367. Also, as the operation button lifting/lowering drive motor 367, an inexpensive motor with low torque can be used.

Then, when the guide pin 354c moves from the lower end of the third cam 371e toward the first cam 371b as the elevation cam member 371 rotates, the downward movement of the button base 354 stops, and the guide pin 354c moves toward the first cam. 371b. After that, when the guide pin 354c reaches the position of the locking portion 371c in the middle of the first cam 371b, the guide pin 354c is inserted into the concave locking portion 371c by the urging force of the lift spring 365, and the operation is performed. By stopping the rotation of the elevation cam member 371 by the button elevation drive motor 367, the effect operation section unit 350 returns to the original lowered position.

In the above description, in the effect operation section lifting mechanism 360, the operation button lifting drive motor 367 rotates the lifting cam member 371 counterclockwise to move the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 to the first cam 371b ( An example has been described in which the button base 354 (button body 351) is projected from the lowered position to the raised position at once by moving from the engaging portion 371c) to the second cam 371d. In a normal state where the button main body 351 (the production operation section unit 350) is locked by the locking portion 371c of the 371 and is moving to the lowered position, the operation button lifting drive motor 367 moves the lifting cam member 371 in a plan view. You may make it rotate in the direction of rotation. Incidentally, the lifting distance of the button body 351 (the effect operation unit unit 350) by the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 in this embodiment is about 40 mm.

When the elevation cam member 371 is rotated clockwise in a normal state, the guide pin 354c moves from the first cam 371b to the third cam 371e. will move upward along the When the guide pin 354c is in the middle position of the third cam 371e, if the rotation of the elevation cam member 371 is stopped, the button body 351 can be protruded upward at any position between the lowered position and the raised position. can be stopped. By protruding the button body 351 to a position above the lowered position, the button body 351 can be pushed downward against the biasing force of the lifting spring 365, and the button body 351 can be pushed downward. can function as

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

Thus, depending on the rotational position of the elevation cam member 371, it is possible to change the amount of projection of the button body 351 (effect operation section unit 350), depending on the game state (for example, the first start opening 2002 and By varying the amount of protrusion of the button body 351 according to the special lottery result drawn by receiving the game ball B into the second start port 2004, the player can be made to indicate the degree of expectation for the game.

At least one shallow concave portion capable of engaging the guide pin 354c may be provided in the middle of the third cam 371e of the elevation cam member 371. As shown in FIG. As a result, the button body 351 (the production operation unit 350) can be stably projected to the position of the same amount of projection, and variations in the amount of projection can be prevented. Further, when a concave portion is provided in at least one place in the middle of the third cam 371e, the guide pin 354c is engaged with the concave portion so that the operation button elevation drive motor 367 stops the elevation cam member 371 from rotating. There is no need to continue, and the load on the operation button lifting drive motor 367 can be reduced.

[3-5e-6. Projection power adjustment mechanism]
The protrusion force adjustment mechanism 380 in the effect operation unit 300 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 53 to 56 and the like. The projection force adjustment mechanism 380 changes the amount of compression of the elevation spring 365 that urges the effect operation unit 350 upward, thereby causing the effect operation unit 350 (pressing operation unit 303) to protrude upward ( projection force) can be changed. The projection force adjustment mechanism 380 is provided between the bottom wall of the main body portion 315 a of the operating portion base 315 and the base main body 361 a of the lifting mechanism base 361 .

The protrusion force adjustment mechanism 380 includes a protrusion force adjustment drive motor 381 attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a of the lifting mechanism base 361, and a spur gear-shaped pinion gear attached to the rotation shaft of the protrusion force adjustment drive motor 381. 382, a transmission gear 383 that meshes with the pinion gear 382 and is rotatably attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a, a spur gear-shaped gear portion 384a that meshes with the transmission gear 383, and from the gear portion 384a An adjusting screw 384, which has a screw portion 384b extending downward in a cylindrical shape and having a spiral groove formed on its outer periphery, through which a central shaft 366 is inserted and rotatably supported, and an adjusting screw 384, the pair of guide shafts 362 pass therethrough, and the lower ends of the pair of lifting springs 365 are in contact with each other.

The protrusion force adjusting drive motor 381 is attached to the lower surface of the base body 361a of the lifting mechanism base 361 so as to form a gap with the lower surface of the base body 361a. The rotation shaft of the projection force adjusting drive motor 381 protrudes into the gap between it and the base body 361a.

The adjusting screw 384 has a length extending from the bottom wall of the main body portion 315 a of the operating portion base 315 to the base main body 361 a of the lifting mechanism base 361 . A screw portion 384b of the adjusting screw 384 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a diameter larger than that of the gear portion 384a.

The lower lifting spring holding member 385 includes a main body portion 385a extending in the front-rear direction, a screw hole 385b that penetrates vertically through the center of the main body portion 385a and is screwed with the screw portion 384b, and a front and rear portion of the main body portion 385a. It has spring holding recesses 385c which are provided at both ends and which are recessed downward to accommodate the lower ends of the lifting springs 365, and flat detection pieces 385d which extend upward from the front end of the body portion 385a. . The lift lower spring holding member 385 is penetrated by the guide shafts 362 at the centers of the pair of spring holding recesses 385c. The detection piece 385 d is detected by the projecting force detection sensor 375 of the effect operation section elevating mechanism 360 .

The protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380 can rotate the adjusting screw 384 around the central shaft 366 via the transmission gear 383 and the gear portion 384a when the pinion gear 382 is rotated by the protrusion force adjusting drive motor 381 . The projection force adjustment mechanism 380 rotates the adjustment screw 384 by the projection force adjustment drive motor 381, thereby vertically moving the lifting unsprung holding member 385 through the screw hole 385b that meshes with the screw portion 384b. be able to.

In the projection force adjustment mechanism 380, when the lift spring lower holding member 385 is moved upward, the lower end of the lift spring 365 held in the spring holding recess 385c is moved upward, and the compression amount of the lift spring 365 is increased. Become. On the other hand, when the lift spring lower holding member 385 is moved downward, the lower end of the lift spring 365 held in the spring holding recess 385c moves downward, and the compression amount of the lift spring 365 becomes smaller (see FIG. 56). reference). In other words, when the lifting/lowering unsprung holding member 385 is moved upward, the biasing force of the lifting/lowering spring 365 that urges the effect operating unit 350 upward can be increased, and the lifting/lowering unsprung holding member 385 is moved downward. As a result, the urging force that urges the effect operation section unit 350 upward by the lifting spring 365 can be reduced. As a result, the projection force adjustment mechanism 380 can adjust the upward projection force of the effect operation section unit 350 .

The detection piece 385d of the lift unsprung holding member 385 is detected by the projecting force detection sensor 375 when the lift unsprung holding member 385 is raised to the maximum. That is, the detection piece 385d is detected by the projecting force detection sensor 375 when the compression amount of the lifting spring 365 is maximized. As a result, when the protrusion force detection sensor 375 detects the detection piece 385d while the protrusion force adjustment drive motor 381 is moving the lift unsprung member 385 upward, the protrusion force adjustment drive motor 381 moves the lift unsprung member 385 upward. By stopping the upward movement of 385, further compression of the lifting spring 365 can be prevented, and damage to the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380 can be prevented.

In addition, as described above, the projection force adjustment mechanism 380 can appropriately adjust the projection force of the effect operation unit 350. Therefore, when the effect operation unit 350 is in the lowered position, the contact detection body 352 detects the button main body. Detecting the contact or approach of an object to be detected (for example, a player's finger, etc.) to 351, the production operation unit unit 350 is projected by the production operation unit elevating mechanism 360 and brought into contact with the object to be detected. Sometimes, the vertical position of the lifting/lowering unsprung holding member 385 may be appropriately selected to vary the projecting force of the button body 351 . As a result, when the button body 351 protrudes upward, the strength applied to the player's fingers or the like can be varied, so that if the button body 351 strongly abuts, something good will happen to the player. It is possible to make the player think that it is not possible, and it is possible to increase the player's expectation for the game. Therefore, according to the projecting force adjustment mechanism 380, depending on the game state (for example, according to the special lottery result drawn by accepting the game ball B into the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004), the button By increasing or decreasing the projecting force of the main body 351, it is possible to suggest the player's degree of expectation for the game.

By the way, as a method of changing the biasing force of the spring, it is conceivable to change the biasing force by twisting the spring. However, it is necessary to use a compressed spring (compression coil spring) in order to protrude the effect operation section unit 350, and if the compression coil spring is twisted to change the biasing force, it is impossible to use a force different from the original use. A large amount of stress will act on the compression coil spring, and there is a risk that the internal structure will deteriorate and break at an early stage. On the other hand, in the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380 of the present embodiment, the protrusion force ( Since the urging force) is adjusted, excessive stress does not act on the lifting spring 365, and early deterioration of the lifting spring 365 can be reduced. It can be made to protrude stably over a long period of time.

[3-5e-7. Action of production operation unit]
Next, the action of the effect operation unit 300 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 57 and 58 and the like. FIG. 57 is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship of the effect operation section outer peripheral decoration board, button outer decoration board, and button inner decoration board in a plan view of the effect operation unit viewed from the pressing direction of the pressing operation section. FIG. 58(a) is a front view of the plate unit shown in a normal state, and FIG. 58(b) is a front view of the plate unit when the effect operation unit is in the raised position. The performance operation unit 300 is formed in a spherical shape as a whole, and has a performance operation section 301 on the upper surface thereof which can be operated by the player. The effect operation section 301 is composed of a contact operation section 302 capable of being operated by contact or approach of the player's hand, etc., and a pressing operation section 303 capable of pressing operation. The contact operation portion 302 is provided above the pressing operation portion 303 (button main body 351).

The effect operation unit 300 is assembled to the plate unit 200 in a state in which the projecting direction of the pressing operation part 303 (the effect operation part unit 350) that can project upward is inclined so that the upper part is positioned forward with respect to the vertical direction. ing. In other words, the center of the effect operation section 301 is positioned forward of the apex of the spherical effect operation unit 300 . As a result, a player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 can easily see the effect operation section 301.例文帳に追加

In the normal state, the effect operation unit 300 has the pressing operation part 303 (the effect operation part unit 350) in the lowered position, and the curved upper surface of the button main body 351 of the effect operation part unit 350 is in the state of the effect. It matches the spherical surface of the operation section cover unit 310 . Further, in a normal state, even if the pressing operation portion 303 is pressed downward, the pressing operation portion 303 (the effect operation portion unit 350) does not move downward. Therefore, in a normal state, the effect operation unit 300 looks like a mere spherical ornament to the player, making it difficult for the player to recognize that it is operable.

As shown in FIG. 57, the production operation unit 300 has a production operation unit peripheral decoration board 320 arranged below a unit upper cover 312 surrounding the outer circumference of the pressing operation unit 303 (production operation unit unit 350). , an annular button external decoration substrate 355 and an inner button decoration substrate 364 are arranged inside near the outer edge of the pressing operation portion 303 . The effect operation unit 300 is arranged outside in the order of the button outer decoration board 355 and the effect operation part outer periphery decoration board 320 centering on the inside button decoration board 364 . The LEDs 355a inside the button inner decoration substrate 364 and the button outer decoration substrate 355 are arranged below the contact detection body 352, but since the contact detection body 352 is formed of punching metal, it is translucent. Therefore, the light from them can be transmitted upward (toward the player).

The effect operation unit 300 can light-embellish the annular unit upper cover 312 by means of the LEDs 320 a of the effect operation portion peripheral decoration board 320 . In addition, the LEDs 355a of the button external decoration substrate 355 can be used to decorate the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the button body 351 and the outer peripheral surface. Further, the central portion of the upper surface of the button main body 351 can be decorated with light by means of the LED 364a of the button interior decoration substrate 364. FIG.

Since the plurality of LEDs 320a of the effect operating section outer peripheral decoration board 320, the plurality of LEDs 355a of the outer button decoration board 355, and the plurality of LEDs 364a of the inner button decoration board 364 are arranged in rows on the circumference, By sequentially emitting light, it is possible to show the player a light-emitting effect in which the light rotates around the center of the pressing operation portion 303 . Further, since the plurality of LEDs 320a, LEDs 355a, and LEDs 363a are arranged concentrically, light is emitted from the center of the pressing operation unit 303 to the outside, and light is emitted from the outside to the center of the pressing operation unit 303. It is possible to show the player a lighting effect that converges.

In a normal state, the effect operation unit 300 is in a lowered position where the pressing operation part 303 (effect operation part unit 350) is aligned with the surface of the unit top cover 312, as shown in FIG. 58(a). state. In this state, the pressing operation of the pressing operation portion 303 is disabled. On the other hand, the contact operation unit 302 can enable contact operations in accordance with the player-participation type production to be executed.

As an effect (player participatory effect) in a normal state in which the pressing operation part 303 (the effect operation unit 350) is not projected, for example, an effect image prompting the user to touch the upper surface of the effect operation unit 300 is displayed. It displays on the device 1600 and outputs voice, sound effects, and the like. When the contact detection body 352 detects contact (or approach) to the button main body 351, the process proceeds to the next performance stage. When the contact is detected, the LED 355a of the outer button decoration board 355 and the LED 364a of the inner button decoration board 364 emit light to decorate the button body 351, so that the player recognizes that the contact operation has been accepted. The touch operation unit 302 may be given an operational feeling. At this time, the degree of expectation for the game (for example, occurrence of an advantageous game state such as a "jackpot" game in which the player is advantageous) is given to the player by means of the emission color, emission brightness, emission pattern, etc. of the button body 351. You may suggest it.

Alternatively, when the contact detector 352 detects contact (or approach) to the button body 351 , the vibration motor 356 may be driven to vibrate the button body 351 . As a result, it is possible to impart an operational feeling to the contact operation section 302, and to make the player strongly recognize that the contact operation has been accepted. At this time, the vibration motor 356 may give a strong vibration, a weak vibration, or a vibration having a predetermined rhythm to suggest the player's degree of expectation for the game. good.

In addition, as an effect in the normal state (player participation type effect), an effect image is displayed on the effect display device 1600 to prompt the user to touch the upper surface of the effect operation unit 300, or a voice, sound effect, etc. is output. After that, when the contact detection body 352 detects the contact of the player (hand or finger) with the upper surface of the button body 351, the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360 raises and lowers the button body 351 (effect operation unit unit 350). The urging force of the spring 365 protrudes (pops up) upward. More specifically, in a normal state, when the operation button elevation drive motor 367 rotates the elevation cam member 371 counterclockwise in plan view, the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 moves to the cam portion 371a (first cam). 371b), the button base 354 and the effect operation unit 350 (the button main body 351 and the pressing operation unit 303) vigorously protrude upward due to the urging force of the pair of lifting springs 365 to reach the raised position (Fig. 55(b)). In this raised position, the upper surface of the button body 351 is positioned significantly higher than the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312, and the button body 351 protrudes upward. As the button body 351 protrudes upward as described above, the finger touching the button body 351 is pushed upward together with the button body 351, so that the player can be greatly surprised. It can attract a lot of attention.

After that, the game shifts to an effect of pressing the button body 351 (pressing operation section 303), and the player is entertained by the pressing operation of the pressing operation section 303. FIG. More specifically, when the button body 351 (press operation unit 303) is in the raised position and is pressed downward against the urging force of the lifting spring 365, the button body 351 (the effect operation unit 350) is activated. When the button body 351 moves downward, the upper surface of the button body 351 becomes flush with the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312 , and the detection piece 354 d of the button base 354 is detected by the pressure detection sensor 373 . As a result, the pressing operation of the button main body 351 (pressing operation unit 303) is detected, and the presentation can be changed with the pressing operation as a trigger, and the player can be entertained by the player participation type presentation.

In addition, during the above effects, the protrusion force adjustment mechanism 380 is used to increase or decrease the protrusion force (momentum) that causes the button body 351 to protrude. may be suggested. Further, when the button body 351 is popped up or pressed, the vibration motor 356 may vibrate the button body 351 .

In the effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, when the contact detection body 352 detects that the player's finger or the like approaches within the moving range (within the projecting range) of the button body 351 projecting upward, the button is activated. The main body 351 (the production operation section unit 350) may be made to protrude upward. As a result, the button main body 351 abuts the player's finger or the like and gives an impact, so that the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. In this case as well, the projection force adjustment mechanism 380 may be used to increase or decrease the projection force of the button body 351, so that the player's expectations for the game may be suggested by the strength of the projection force.

In addition, in the effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the contact detection body 352 detects that the player's finger or the like is outside the projecting range of the upward projecting button body 351 and within a predetermined distance from the projecting button body 351. The button main body 351 (the production operation section unit 350) may be projected upward when it is detected that the player approaches the . As a result, the wind pressure generated by the protrusion of the button body 351 can be applied to the player's fingers or the like, so that the player can be surprised and the player's interest can be strongly attracted. Even in this case, the projecting force of the button body 351 is strengthened or weakened by the projecting force adjusting mechanism 380, and the degree of expectation for the game is suggested to the player by the strength of the wind pressure applied to the player's fingers or the like. You can do it.

Furthermore, as an effect of projecting the effect operation unit 350, the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350) may be projected upward regardless of the detection of the player's finger or the like by the contact detection body 352. At this time, when the button body 351 is projected with a strong projection force by the projection force adjusting mechanism 380, the button body 351 protrudes vigorously and a sound (projection sound) is generated, so that the projection sound surprises the player. can be done. In addition, when the button body 351 is projected with a weak projection force by the projection force adjustment mechanism 380, the button body 351 projects quietly, so that it is difficult for the player to notice the projection of the button body 351. , the player can be surprised by the fact that the button body 351 suddenly protrudes.

As an effect after projecting the effect operation unit 350 (button main body 351), the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 is weakened by the projection force adjustment mechanism 380, and the button main body 351 (pressing operation part 303) is generally operated. It is also possible to execute an effect such that a pressing operation similar to that of a pressing button is performed. Alternatively, the pushing force of the lifting spring 365 may be strengthened by the protrusion force adjustment mechanism 380, and an effect may be executed in which the player presses the button body 351 with a strong force.

Further, as an effect after the effect operation section unit 350 (the button body 351) is projected, an effect such as contacting the projecting button body 351 may be executed. At this time, since the contact detector 352 has a downwardly extending piece 352a extending downward, the side surface of the button body 351 may be touched. Also, at this time, it is desirable to increase the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 by the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380. This makes it difficult to move the protruding button body 351, thereby preventing the button body 351 (contact operation) from moving. 302) can be easily operated.

In addition, as an effect for projecting the effect operation unit 350, in the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the operation button elevating drive motor 367 rotates the elevating cam member 371 in the counterclockwise direction so that the button base 354 The guide pin 354c is moved from the first cam 371b (locking portion 371c) to the second cam 371d to project the button base 354 (button main body 351) from the lowered position to the raised position at once. It is not limited to this.

For example, in a normal state in which the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 is locked by the locking portion 371c of the elevation cam member 371 and the button main body 351 (the effect operation section unit 350) is moved to the lowered position, the operation button is lifted and lowered. The drive motor 367 rotates the elevation cam member 371 in the clockwise direction in plan view, thereby moving the guide pin 354c from the first cam 371b to the third cam 371e, and moving the elevation cam member 371 in the middle of the third cam 371e. may be stopped so that the upward projection of the button body 351 is stopped at a position between the lowered position and the raised position. At this time, the lifting spring lower holding member 385 of the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380 is moved downward to weaken the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 .

Thus, even when the button body 351 is protruded halfway by the third cam 371e of the elevation cam member 371, the button body 351 can be pressed, and the button body 351 can function as the pressing operation portion 303. Thus, the player can enjoy the player-participation type production. In this case, since the amount of upward protrusion of the button body 351 can be varied according to the rotational position of the elevation cam member 371, the degree of expectation for the game can be suggested according to the amount of protrusion of the button body 351. , can entertain the player.

Furthermore, as an effect of pressing the projected effect operation unit 350 (button body 351), after projecting the effect operation unit 350, the lifting spring lower holding member 385 is moved downward to compress the lifting spring 365. be minimized. As a result, since the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 is in the weakest state, the effect operation section unit 350 can be pressed with a light (weak) force, and the operability of the pressing operation is improved. can entertain. In addition, as an effect for pressing the effect operation unit 350 (button main body 351), the lifting spring lower holding member 385 is set at an appropriate position in the vertical direction according to the result of the special lottery, and the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 is set. may be any strength from the strongest to the weakest. As a result, the player can be made to press the effect operation unit 350 strongly or weakly, so that the player can be entertained by the difference in the operation force of the effect operation unit 350, and more diverse An effect can be presented, and it is possible to make it difficult for the player to get bored.

In addition, as an effect using the effect operation unit 300, a contact detection body is provided so that the contact of the player's finger or the like to the contact operation unit 302 (button body 351) can be detected at a plurality of contact stages (approach stages). A plurality of stages of threshold values corresponding to the capacitance of 352 may be provided, and the effect may be changed according to each stage. In other words, focusing on the fact that the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 increases as the player's finger or the like approaches the button body 351 (contact detection body 352), a plurality of threshold values are set for the magnitude of the capacitance. may be provided to detect in multiple stages and be utilized for production. Specifically, for example, a stage where the player's fingers or the like are away from the button body 351 by a predetermined distance or more, a stage where the player's fingers or the like are within a predetermined distance from the button body 351 and are not in contact with the button body 351, By dividing the stage into stages in which a player's fingers or the like are in contact with the button body 351, etc., and changing the performance according to each stage, even one contact detection sensor body 358 presents a variety of performances to the player. This makes it difficult for the player to get bored and suppresses the decline in interest.

In the above-described embodiment, as a normal state of the production operation unit 300, as shown in FIG. 385 has been moved upward, but this is not restrictive. As shown in FIG. It may be in a state of being moved downward. As a result, since the lift spring 365 is not strongly compressed in a normal state, early deterioration (fatigue) of the lift spring 365 can be suppressed. Further, the urging force of the strongly compressed lifting spring 365 can prevent early deterioration (fatigue) of the button base 354 and the lower lifting spring holding member 385 .

As described above, according to the production operation unit 300 of the present embodiment, since it can be used for various patterns of player participation type production, the player can be entertained with various productions, and the player is bored. It is possible to suppress the decrease in interest by making it difficult.

By the way, the effect operation unit 300 is provided with an annular (two circular arcs combined) effect operation part outer periphery decoration board 320 on the upper part of the spherical effect operation part cover unit 310, and the effect operation part outer periphery A contact detection sensor main body 358 is provided in the effect operation section unit 350 that moves up and down inside the decoration board 320 . Further, inside the button sleeve 353 of the effect operation unit 350, a button middle decoration substrate 364 whose position is fixed is provided. Since the contact detection sensor main body 358 is provided with a sensor electrode for detecting capacitance, when the effect operation unit 350 is moved from the lowered position to the raised position, the contact detection sensor main body 358 (sensor electrode ) approaches the production operation section outer peripheral decoration board 320 and the button middle decoration board 364, and the proximity of the production operation section outer circumference decoration board 320 and the button middle decoration board 364 changes the capacitance of the sensor electrode, and the contact detection sensor There is a possibility that the main body 358 may make an erroneous detection.

Therefore, a conductive shield connected to the ground (GND) is provided between the effect operation section outer peripheral decoration board 320 and the contact detection sensor main body 358, and between the button inner decoration board 364 and the contact detection sensor main body 358. (For example, punching metal, metal plate, expanded metal, wire mesh, metal wire, metal foil, etc.) may be provided. As a result, even if the distance between the contact detection sensor main body 358 and the production operation section outer peripheral decorative board 320 or the inside button decorative board 364 changes, the contact detection sensor main body 358 can be detected by moving the production operation section unit 350 up and down. , and between the production operation section outer peripheral decoration board 320 and the button inner decoration board 364, a shield connected to a ground (GND) that does not change the distance from the contact detection sensor main body 358 allows the production operation section outer periphery decoration board 320 and the button middle decoration board It is possible to reduce the effect of the change in capacitance due to the approach of the decorative substrate 364 inside the button, and to prevent erroneous detection in the main body 358 of the contact detection sensor.

[3-5f. Another embodiment of the plate unit]
Next, a plate unit 200 of an embodiment different from the above will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 59 to 61 and the like. FIG. 59 is a plan view of an effect operating unit showing an example in which a plurality of contact detectors are provided in the effect operating unit of the effect operating unit. FIG. 60(a) is an explanatory view schematically showing an example in which a plurality of contact detection bodies are connected to one contact detection sensor main body, and (b) shows the contact detection sensor main body and the plurality of contact detection bodies in (a). and (c) is a representation in which the left plate decoration unit, the right plate decoration unit, the effect operation unit, etc. of the plate unit can move forward and backward. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which contact detection bodies are provided on the front side and the rear side of an operation unit or the like; FIG. 61(a) is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a decorative touch detector, and FIG. 61(b) is an explanatory diagram schematically showing another embodiment of the effect operation unit. In addition, in FIGS. 59 to 61, the same symbols are attached to the same components as those described above.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 59, the contact detection body 352 is divided into left and right contact detection body 390L and right contact detection body 390R on the lower side of the button main body 351 of the effect operation unit 350. A left contact detection sensor main body 391L and a right contact detection sensor main body 391R are connected to the left contact detection body 390L and the right contact detection body 390R, respectively. According to this embodiment, on the top surface of the button body 351, for example, when the player moves his or her finger or the like from the left side to the right side, when the player's finger or the like is positioned on the left side of the button body 351, The capacitance of the left contact detection body 390L changes and the left contact detection sensor main body 391L becomes detection, while the capacitance of the right contact detection body 390R does not change and the right contact detection sensor body 391R remains non-detection. becomes. Then, when the player's finger or the like moves to the center of the button main body 351, the capacitance of both the left contact detection body 390L and the right contact detection body 390R changes, causing the left contact detection sensor body 391L and the contact detection sensor body to change. Both right 391R are detected. Furthermore, when the player's finger or the like moves to the right side of the button body 351, the capacitance of the left contact detection body 390L returns to its original state, and the left contact detection sensor body 391L becomes non-detection, and the electrostatic capacity of the right contact detection body 390R The capacitance has changed and the right contact detection sensor main body 391R continues to detect.

In this way, the combination of detection and non-detection of the left contact detection sensor main body 391L and the right contact detection sensor main body 391R by the left contact detection body 390L and the right contact detection body 390R and the pattern of the change, the movement of the player's fingers etc. can be detected. As a result, it is possible to detect contact operations with more diverse movements, and to present to the player a player-participation-type effect that allows the contact operation unit 302 to perform various contact operations. , the player-participation-type effect that operates the contact operation unit 302 can be more enjoyable. It should be noted that more complicated motions can be detected by increasing the number of contact detection bodies.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 60( a ) is an example in which a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 are connected to one contact detection sensor body 392 . According to this embodiment, a single contact detection sensor main body 392 detects contact of a human body or the like at any one of the contact detection bodies 393 in a state in which the plurality of contact detection bodies 393 are provided at a plurality of mutually different locations. can do.

For example, by distributing a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 inside (lower side) of the button body 351, even if the player's finger or the like touches any part of the surface of the button body 351, the A contact can be detected by the contact detection body 393, and the accuracy of detecting contact with the contact operation unit 302 can be improved.

In addition, a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 may be used as a part of the pachinko machine 1 that the player does not want to touch (for example, a part where the player may get injured, or where there is a risk of causing annoyance to other players). A certain part, a part where there is a risk of fraudulent conduct, etc.) may be provided so that when any of the contact detectors 393 detects a human body or the like, a caution or warning may be issued.

Further, the embodiment shown in FIG. 60(b) is a switching mechanism that connects only one of the contact detection bodies 393 to the contact detection sensor body 392 between one contact detection sensor body 392 and a plurality of contact detection bodies 393. This is an example in which a portion 394 is provided. According to this embodiment, by switching the connection to one of the plurality of contact detection bodies 352 by the switching unit 394, it is possible to detect contact of a human body or the like only at a desired site (contact detection body 352). . The switching unit 394 may be "switched by a switching circuit using relays or transistors", "switched by other electronic circuits", or "a movable member (for example, a movable dish left decoration as shown in FIG. 60(c)"). The unit 270, the plate right decoration unit 275, and the effect operation unit 300 are switched along with the movement".

For example, in the production operation unit 301 (contact operation unit 302), a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 are arranged in a distributed manner, and a player participation type production is executed such that the parts detected by each contact detection body 393 are touched in order. Sometimes, the contact detection body 393 connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392 is switched by the switching part 394 in the order of touching, and the contact detection body 393 detects whether or not the player's finger or the like touches. good. As a result, it is possible to present to the player a player-participation-type presentation with a high game quality by the plurality of contact detection bodies 393, and to entertain the player and suppress a decline in interest.

Also, as shown in FIG. 60(c), when the plate left decoration unit 270, the plate right decoration unit 275, and the effect operation unit 300 are configured to move forward and backward, the front side of the effect operation unit 300 is the first When the contact detection body 393a is provided and the second contact detection body 393b is provided on the rear side of the plate left decoration unit 270, the plate right decoration unit 275, and the effect operation unit 300, and the effect operation unit 300 and the like are projected forward, The first contact detection body 393a and the contact detection sensor body 392 are connected by the switching part 394, and the second contact detection body 393b and the contact detection sensor body 392 are connected by the switching part 394 when the effect operation unit 300 and the like are retracted. You may make it switch so that it may carry out.

As a result, when the effect operation unit 300 or the like is protruded (moved) forward, the contact or approach of the player is detected by the first contact detection body 393a, and the forward movement of the effect operation unit 300 or the like is stopped. to As a result, it is possible to prevent the performance operation unit 300 or the like from unnecessarily pressing the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1, thereby avoiding the player from feeling uncomfortable. be able to.

On the other hand, if the effect operation unit 300 or the like is protruded forward, a gap may be formed behind the effect operation unit 300 or the like. If the operation unit 300 or the like is retracted to the initial position, the player's fingers or the like may be caught and injured. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second contact detection body 393b is switched to be connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392 by the switching portion 394 when the effect operation unit 300 or the like moved forward is moved backward. Then, when the player's finger or the like is detected by the second contact detection body 393b, the rearward movement of the effect operation unit 300 or the like is stopped, and the finger or the like is released from the rear side of the effect operation unit 300 or the like. is notified to the player, and only when the second contact detection body 393b is in a non-detection state, the effect operation unit 300 and the like are moved backward to return to the initial state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being injured by the gap behind the performance operation unit 300 and the like, and the safety of the pachinko machine 1 can be enhanced.

FIG. 71(a) is a right side view of the door frame right side unit showing a state in which the two-color molded outer layer of the door frame is made opaque, Fig. 10 is a right side view of the door frame right side unit shown in a transparent state. The door frame 3 has, as shown in the figure, a substantially rectangular door window 101a that extends vertically and is closed by a transparent glass plate 162 of a glass unit 160 at the center in front view. The door frame 3 includes the plate left decoration 271 and the plate right decoration 276 of the plate unit 200, the unit upper cover 312 and the button main body 351 of the production operation unit 300, the door frame left side decoration 426 of the door frame left side unit 420, The door frame right side decoration 435 of the door frame right side unit 430 and the door frame top decoration 453 of the door frame top unit 450 surround the entire periphery of the door window 101a.

The plate left decoration 271, the plate right decoration 276, the door frame left side decoration 426, the door frame right side decoration 435, and the door frame top decoration 453 surrounding the outer periphery of the door window 101a are formed in a semi-tubular shape. Since it is formed, it is possible to show the player a decoration in which the entire periphery of the door window 101a is surrounded by fluorescent lights.

In the door frame 3, a plate left decoration 271, a plate right decoration 276, a unit upper cover 312, a door frame left side decoration 426, a door frame right side decoration 435, and a door frame surround the outer periphery of the door window 101a. Behind or below the top decoration 453 are a left plate decoration board 273, a right plate decoration board 278, an effect operation part outer periphery decoration board 320, a door frame left side upper decoration board 422, a door frame left side lower decoration board 423, and a door frame. Since the right side upper decoration board 432, the door frame right side lower decoration board 433, the door frame top center decoration board 455, the door frame top left decoration board 456, and the door frame top right decoration board 457 are arranged, these decoration boards are arranged. By properly emitting light from the LEDs, the entire outer periphery of the door window 101a can be decorated with light, or the player can be shown a light emitting performance such that the light moves along the outer periphery of the door window 101a.

In the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3, a spherical performance operation unit 300 having a diameter larger than the distance of the upper plate 201 in the front-rear direction is attached to the center in the horizontal direction. As a result, since the large spherical effect operation unit 300 is positioned in the center of the plate unit 200, the visual impact can be enhanced. The operation unit 303) can be conspicuous.

In addition, in a normal state, the upper surface of the button main body 351 as the effect operation section 301 is aligned with the upper surface of the unit upper cover 312 so as to be continuous, thereby forming a single sphere. , the effect operation unit 301 (button body 351) can be made difficult to recognize that the effect operation unit 301 (button body 351) can be operated, and the effect operation unit 300 consisting of a huge sphere allows the player to see other This pachinko machine can be made to recognize that it is a pachinko machine 1 different from a pachinko machine, can strongly attract the interest of the player, can enhance the appeal to the player, and can be used as a pachinko machine to play. It is possible to facilitate the selection of the machine 1.

In addition, in the plate unit 200, since the center (center) of the effect operation section 301 of the effect operation unit 300 is positioned forward of the apex of the spherical effect operation unit 300, the effect operation section 301 (the contact operation section 302 , and the upper surface of the pressing operation portion 303) faces the head (face) of the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the player who recognizes that the gigantic sphere provided in the center of the plate unit 200 is the production operation section 301 can easily see the entire production operation section 301, and the production operation section 301 can be easily seen. You can make it look bigger. In addition, it is possible to make the player strongly feel that he or she wants to operate the gigantic spherical performance operation section 301, and to heighten expectations for execution of the player participation type performance by operating the performance operation section 301.例文帳に追加At the same time, when the player participation type performance is executed, the player can be made to actively operate the performance operation unit 301, and the operation of the performance operation unit 301 allows the player to enjoy the player participation type performance. A decrease can be suppressed.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the exterior of the door frame 3 of this embodiment has a plurality of circular or radial patterns on its outer surface. FIG. 71 shows a door frame right side unit 430 as an example of a part of the exterior of the door frame 3 .

More specifically, as the exterior of the door frame 3, a plurality of circular and radial patterns applied to the outer surface are formed in two colors using two types of synthetic resins with different colors and translucency (light transmittance). It is formed by molding. The patterned exterior portion of the door frame 3 is two-color molded with two types of resin, an inner layer 3a and an outer layer 3b. Circular and radial patterns are formed by appearing on the outer surface.

For example, taking the door frame right side unit 430 as an example, as shown in FIG. The honeycomb pattern of the layer 3a can be seen, and the opaque outer layer 3b can be seen in the part other than the pattern.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 71(b), when the outer layer 3b is made transparent, the honeycomb-like pattern applied to the inner layer 3a can be seen through the outer layer 3b. Radial patterns become difficult to see. In other words, the exterior has an appearance in which the honeycomb-like pattern applied to the inner layer 3a is emphasized.

In FIG. 71, in the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 molded in two colors as part of the exterior, the decorative portion 441a fitted into the decorative hole 440a is part of the right side right lens 441. Since it is a separate member different from the door frame right side right side decoration body 440, even if the outer layer 3b is made transparent, the pattern of the decoration hole 440a (decoration part 441a) does not change.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the main members constituting the exterior of the door frame 3 are formed by two-color molding. By appropriately selecting and combining the color of resin), light transmittance, etc., it is possible to greatly change the appearance even if the shape remains the same.

Therefore, for example, when minor changes are made, the exterior of the pachinko machine 1 can be changed without cost by making the outer layer 3b transparent so that the pattern of the inner layer 3a can be seen.

Alternatively, the colors of the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b are changed for each production lot, and the pachinko machines 1 of different lots are shipped to the same game hall and installed on the island equipment, thereby providing a colorful feeling to the players. It is possible to enhance the appeal to

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

Also, in the above-described embodiment, a circular or radial pattern is formed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and patterns of various shapes may be formed.

Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the handle cover 295, the door frame left side base 421, and the door frame right side left side are provided outside the door window 101a facing forward from the game area 5a of the door frame 3. Decorative bodies such as the surface decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 are two-color molded (multicolor molding) with two synthetic resins having different light transmittances, and a polka dot decoration is formed by the two-color molding. Since the decoration body is formed into a desired shape, the desired decoration is applied to the decoration body at the same time. There is no need to apply a desired decoration by painting or the like after forming the substrate in a flat shape.

In addition, since the decoration of the decorative body is formed by two-color molding, the appearance (appearance) of the decorative body can be easily changed by changing the color of the synthetic resin used. More specifically, when the polka dot decoration is formed by two-color molding, the inner layer 3a forming the inner side of the polka dot circle and the outer layer 3b forming the outer side of the circle are light-transmissive. When the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b are formed in the same color with different ratios, since the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b have the same color, the polka-dot circles are difficult to see, and the appearance looks as if the polka-dot decoration is not applied. On the other hand, when the inner layer 3a forming the inner side of the polka dot circle is colored white and the outer layer 3b forming the outer side of the circle is colored pink, the color difference between the inner layer 3a and the outer layer 3b causes The polka-dot circles become clearly visible, giving the appearance of a pink background decorated with white polka-dots. Thus, when forming the decoration, by appropriately selecting the light transmittance (including color) of the synthetic resin to be used, the appearance of the decoration can be easily changed. Cost can be suppressed.

In addition, as described above, when forming the decoration, by appropriately selecting the light transmittance (including color) of the synthetic resin used, the appearance of the decoration can be easily changed. When the combination of synthetic resins used is changed for each lot, and the pachinko machines 1 of different lots are shipped to the same game hall and installed in a row on the island equipment, the island equipment is made colorful. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly appealing pachinko machine 1 capable of exerting a strong impact on the players who are playing in the game hall and attracting the players.

Further, a handle cover 295 having decorations molded in two colors from a plurality of synthetic resins with different light transmittances on a portion of the door frame 3 outside the door window 101a where the game area 5a faces forward, and a door frame left side base. 421, the door frame right side left side decoration 438, and the door frame right side right side decoration 440 are provided, so that the outside of the door window 101a is decorated with the decorations to improve the appearance. can be done.

Further, since the outer layer 3b of the two-color-molded decorative body is made of a synthetic resin having a lower light transmittance than the remaining inner layer 3a, the inner layer 3a can be made difficult to see through the outer layer 3b. Thus, the boundary of the decoration (polka dot pattern) formed by the inner layer 3a can be clearly seen, and the decoration can be clearly seen.

In addition, since the light transmittance of the outer layer 3b is lower than that of the remaining inner layers 3a, it is possible to make it difficult to see the inner layer 3a through the outer layer 3b. In order to prevent the inner layer 3a from being seen through from the outside, the inner layer 3a can be seen through by using a synthetic resin having a high light transmittance for the outer layer 3b at the time of a model change. As a result, the way of looking at the decoration of the decoration can be greatly changed, and the appearance (decoration) can be easily changed without changing the shape of the decoration.

In addition, as described above, the outer layer 3b having a low light transmittance makes it difficult to see the inner layer 3a, so that the surface of the inner layer 3a has a pattern (pattern by shape, painting, printing, attaching a sticker, etc.). In the initial model, the opaque outer layer 3b with low light transmittance prevents the pattern of the inner layer 3a from being seen through the outer layer 3b. By using such a synthetic resin, the pattern of the inner layer 3a can be seen through, so the appearance (decoration) of the decoration can be greatly changed without changing the shape of the decoration. , it is possible to suppress the increase in cost for model change.

Furthermore, the third LED 432c of the door frame right side upper decorative board 432 and the door frame right side lower decorative board that can irradiate the inside of the door frame right side left side decoration 438 and the door frame right side right side decoration 440. 433, and the inner layer 3a is formed of a synthetic resin having a higher light transmittance than the others, the door frame right side left side decoration body 438 and the door frame right side right side decoration body When the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c provided inside the door frame 440 emit light, the inner side of the decorations formed on the surface of the door frame right side left side decoration 438 and the door frame right side right side decoration 440 The portion of the layer 3a (portion of polka dots) can be decorated with bright light, and the outer side of the door window 101a facing the game area 5a can be decorated with light, thereby improving the appearance and allowing the player to see the right side of the door frame. The luminous decorations of the side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 can be enjoyed, and the decline in interest of the player can be suppressed.

Depending on the light transmittance of the outer layer 3b, the light from the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c irradiated to the outer layer 3b through the inner layer 3a can also illuminate the outer layer 3b. The entire side left side decoration body 438 and the door frame right side right side decoration body 440 can be decorated with light emission, and the door frame right side left side decoration body 438 and the door frame right side right side decoration body 440 are displayed neatly and the game is played. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 can be highly appealing, capable of strongly attracting the attention of players.

In addition, as described above, the decoration of the decorative bodies such as the door frame right side left side decorative body 438 and the door frame right side right side decorative body 440 is two-color molding (multicolor molding) of a plurality of synthetic resins having different light transmittances. Since it is formed by molding), the LEDs (light emitting means) such as the third LED 432c and the third LED 433c emit light depending on the number of layers up to the surface and the difference in light transmittance of the synthetic resin used. The decoration that is visible when the LED is not lit can be made different from the decoration that is visible when the LED is illuminated, and the change in the decoration can strongly attract the player's interest. In detail, for example, taking two-color molding as an example of multi-color molding, when a hole of a predetermined shape is formed in a portion of the inner layer 3a covered by the outer layer 3b, the LED is caused to emit light. Without it, only the surface-exposed portions of the inner layer 3a are visible. On the other hand, when the LED emits light, the light from the LED directly irradiates the outer layer 3b without passing through the inner layer 3a at the portion of the inner layer 3a where the hole is formed. The shape of the hole in the layer 3a becomes visible, and the part exposed to the surface and the part of the hole in the inner layer 3a can be seen, and the decoration different from that when the LED is not illuminated can be seen. Alternatively, for example, when the inner layer 3a is yellow and the outer layer 3b is blue, when the LED emits yellow light, only the portion of the inner layer 3a in the surface decoration is illuminated. On the other hand, when the LED emits green (or white) light, both the inner layer 3a portion and the outer layer 3b portion of the surface are luminous decoration. The parts to be illuminated can be varied, and the decorations to be illuminated can be changed. In this way, the decoration of the decorative body can be made different by the light emission of the LED, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted and the player can be entertained. In addition, by causing the LED to emit light according to the game state, the change in the decoration of the decorative body informs the player of the arrival of a chance or the change of the hitting operation (for example, "right hitting"). It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 capable of suggesting and capable of various performances.

In addition, since the door frame left side decorative body 426 and the door frame right side decorative body 435 provided on the left and right outer sides of the door window 101a (game area 5a) have different projection amounts in the front-rear direction, Since the pachinko machine 1 can give a different impression (appearance) when viewed from the front left and from the front right, the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. Even if the player passes in front of the pachinko machine 1 once, when the player approaches the pachinko machine 1 from the opposite side, the player's interest in the pachinko machine 1 is attracted by the fact that the appearance is different from that of the previous excursion. The pachinko machine 1 with high appeal can be made to attract players who are wandering around the game hall to the pachinko machine 1 to select the pachinko machine 1 to play. .

When there is a decorative board provided with the identification portion 7b, it can be easily recognized that the same decorative board is prepared redundantly. Alternatively, when the colors are insufficient in the color identification portion 7b of the prepared decorative board, it is possible to easily recognize that there is a decorative board that is not prepared. Therefore, when preparing the decoration substrates necessary for assembling the pachinko machine 1, it is possible to easily recognize that an extra decoration substrate is prepared or the prepared decoration substrate is insufficient. Therefore, it is possible to surely prepare the required number of decorative substrates, and the pachinko machine 1 can be easily set up at the time of assembly. Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled smoothly, the time required for assembly can be shortened, and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

The number can be increased, and the same effects as those described above can be obtained.

Further, since the capacitance of a plurality of contact detection bodies 393 is detected by one contact detection sensor main body 392, each contact detection body 393 and the contact detection sensor main body 392 are provided separately. Therefore, the sensor main body having electronic parts such as a sensor IC and an output circuit can be provided in a portion that is difficult for the player to see, thereby improving the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 and increasing its appeal to the player. can be enhanced.

Further, since the contact detection sensor main body 392 has connection terminals for electrically connecting the plurality of contact detection bodies 393 in advance, the wiring from the contact detection bodies 393 can be connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392. The electrostatic capacity of the contact detection body 393 can be detected by the contact detection sensor main body 392 simply by connecting it to the connection terminal of the pachinko machine 1. An increase in the cost of the machine 1 can be suppressed.

Further, the contact detection sensor main body 392 is provided with connection terminals in advance, and the contact detection sensor main body 392 and the contact detection body 393 can be connected by simply connecting the wiring from the contact detection body 393 to the connection terminal of the contact detection sensor main body 392 . can be connected, compared to the case where a conductive member is brought into contact with the sensor electrode of the contact detection sensor main body 392 and connected to the contact detection body 393 via the conductive member, the number of parts can be reduced. can be reduced, the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced, and the design of the conductive member for connecting to the contact detection body 393 can be eliminated, and the contact detection body 393 and the contact detection sensor body can be eliminated. 392 can be arranged more freely, and the pachinko machine 1 having the above-described effects can be easily realized.

Further, a switching unit 394 for switching the contact detection body 393 connected to the contact detection sensor main body 392 is provided. are dispersedly arranged, and when a player-participation type performance is executed in which the plurality of dispersedly arranged contact detection bodies 393 are touched in a predetermined order, the contact detection sensor body 392 is operated by the switching unit 394 at the timing when the player touches in order. By switching the contact detection bodies 393 connected to the , it is possible to detect whether or not the player has touched the contact detection bodies 393 in order. This can be realized by the contact detection sensor main body 392, and the pachinko machine 1 that can entertain the players more can be provided.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, in the effect operation unit 300 in the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3, the player's finger or the like approaches or touches the button body 351 in the effect operation unit 350 that can be pressed by the player. Then, the player approaches the contact detection body 352 made of patching metal, the player side of which is covered with the button body 351, and the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 changes. Since the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 is detected by the contact detection sensor main body 358, a change in the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 can be detected. It is possible to detect the approach or contact of the player to 351 (the effect operation unit 350).

In this way, when the player's approach or contact with the effect operation unit 350 is detected using the contact detection body 352 and the contact detection sensor main body 358, the button external decoration board 355, the vibration motor 356, the effect operation unit lifting and lowering are performed. A predetermined effect is output to the player side through the contact detection body 352 and the button main body 351 by the effect means such as the mechanism 360, the button inside decoration board 364, and the protrusion force adjusting mechanism 380, so that the player is entertained by the effect. It is possible to prevent the player from losing interest in the game. At this time, when the player approaches or touches the effect operation unit 350, a predetermined effect is output. It can be made to function as a contact operation part. Since the effect operation unit 350, which functions as a non-contact operation unit or a contact operation unit, can be pressed by the player when it is projected, the effect operation unit 350 can perform non-contact operation, contact operation, and pressing operation. Since various performance operations such as operations can be performed, it is possible to easily embody the pachinko machine 1 having an appearance different from that of a conventional pachinko machine having operation buttons that can be operated only by pressing, thereby making it easier to implement the pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 that is highly appealing to players by being differentiated from other machines.

In addition, according to the detection of the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 by the contact detection sensor main body 358, a predetermined effect is output to the player side. Since it differs depending on the distance between the player and the player, it is possible to provide a plurality of electrostatic capacity thresholds and output a different effect for each threshold. Therefore, since it is possible to detect the distance (distance) from the approach of the player to the button main body 351 (the production operation unit 350) to the contact thereof in multiple stages, the production corresponding to each stage is output. By doing so, it is possible to present more diverse effects to the player, to make it difficult for the player to get bored, and to suppress the decline in interest.

In addition, since the contact detection sensor main body 358 that detects the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 is provided away from the contact detection body 352, the contact detection device having electronic parts such as a sensor IC and an output circuit can be used. The sensor main body 358 can be provided at a portion of the effect operation unit 350 that is difficult for the player to see, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved to enhance the appeal to the player.

In addition, as described above, the operation unit can perform a variety of effect operations such as non-contact operation, contact operation, and pressing operation. By doing so, it is possible to entertain a variety of performance operations, to make it difficult for the player to get bored, to make the player enjoy the player-participation type performance, and to reduce the player's interest in the game. can be suppressed.

Furthermore, since the contact detection body 352 whose capacitance is detected by the contact detection sensor main body 358 is made of a punching metal made of a metal plate having a plurality of holes, the player can easily touch the button main body 351 through the plurality of holes. It is possible to reduce the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 in a state of approach or non-contact, and to avoid erroneous detection by the contact detection sensor main body 358 . Therefore, by appropriately selecting the number, size, arrangement, etc. of the plurality of holes, it is possible to increase the area of the contact detection body 352 while suppressing an increase in the capacitance. It is possible to widen the range for detecting the approach or contact of the player to the main body 351 (the effect operation section unit 350). As a result, the contact detection body 352 can be enlarged to widen the detection range. When the contact detection body 352 is made to have the same size as the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351, the player can approach or touch the performance operation section unit 350 (button body 351) by executing the player participation type performance. When requested, the contact detection body 352 covered with the button body 351 is as large as the upper surface portion 351a of the button body 351, so that the player's finger or the like approaches or touches the effect operation unit 350. The movement distance is shortened, the performance operation unit 350 can be operated quickly, the operation timing in the player participation type performance can be made difficult to miss, and the player can surely participate in the player participation type performance. The effect can entertain the player and suppress the decline in interest.

In addition, since the contact detection body 352 is made of punching metal, a button as an effect means provided on the opposite side of the contact detection body 352 from the player side through a plurality of holes formed in the contact detection body 352 can be pressed. The light emitting effect from the LEDs 364a of the middle decoration board 364 can be output to the player side, and the player can surely enjoy the light emitting effect and suppress the decrease in interest.

In addition, since the effect operation unit 350 (button body 351) that can be pressed is provided with the contact detection body 352, the contact detection body is made of punching metal, which is a metal plate having a certain degree of strength and rigidity. 352 can reinforce the effect operation unit 350, and even if the player strongly presses or hits the effect operation unit 350 (button main body 351) when performing a pressing operation, the effect operation unit unit 350 can be made difficult to be deformed or damaged. Therefore, since the effect operation part unit 350 can be made difficult to be damaged by the contact detection body 352, the effect operation part unit 350 can be operated by pressing the effect operation part unit 350 without worrying about the player. It is possible to make the player participatory performance more enjoyable and suppress the decrease in interest.

Further, the contact detection body 352 is made of punching metal, and the plate thickness of the contact detection body 352 can be made thinner compared to the case where the contact detection body 352 is made of expanded metal processed from a metal plate having the same thickness. Therefore, the space for providing the contact detection body 352 can be easily secured, the contact detection body 352 can be easily provided, the degree of freedom in design can be increased, and the appeal to the player can be enhanced. The pachinko machine 1 can be easily designed.

In addition, since the contact detection body 352 is made of punching metal, the plate thickness is constant compared to expanded metal. The button body 351 (the effect operation unit 350) can be easily made into an optimal shape for detecting the player's approach or contact, and the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

In addition, in the effect operation unit 350, since the player side of the contact detection body 352 is covered with the button body 351, the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal in which a plurality of holes are formed is covered by the button body 351. It is possible to prevent the player from directly touching the contact detection body 352 formed with a plurality of holes, thereby preventing the player from feeling uncomfortable when the contact detection body 352 is formed with a plurality of holes. is used as an operation unit, the button main body 351 can be operated without a sense of incongruity, and the decline in interest can be suppressed by entertaining the performance.

Furthermore, since the player side of the contact detection body 352 made of punching metal is covered with the button body 351, dirt such as dust and food and drink adheres to the plurality of holes formed in the contact detection body 352. Therefore, the cleaning work can be simplified, and the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed as the pachinko machine 1 which is easy to clean can be reduced.

In addition, the effect means such as the external button decoration board 355, the vibration motor 356, the effect operation part elevating mechanism 360, the internal button decoration board 364, and the projecting force adjustment mechanism 380 are arranged on the opposite side of the contact detection body 352 from the player side. A predetermined effect can be output to the player side through the contact detection body 352 and the button body 351, and the contact detection sensor body 358 detects the player's approach or contact with the button body 351 (effect operation unit 350). Then, a predetermined effect is output through the plurality of holes formed in the contact detection body 352 and the transparent button body 351, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the effect operation unit 350, and the effect can be obtained. The performance output through (via) the operation section unit 350 can be surely enjoyed, and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

In addition, the effect means such as the external button decoration board 355, the vibration motor 356, the effect operation part elevating mechanism 360, the internal button decoration board 364, and the projecting force adjustment mechanism 380 are arranged on the opposite side of the contact detection body 352 from the player side. Since it is provided, the effect means is covered by the contact detection body 352, and the contact detection body 352 (the effect operation unit 350) and the effect means can be compactly put together. To provide a highly appealing pachinko machine 1 capable of being easily provided at a desired portion of the pachinko machine 1 with a performance operation section unit 350 and performance means etc. having such functions and effects, and capable of being differentiated from other pachinko machines. can be made easier.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the player approaches or touches the effect operation unit 350 (button main body 351) provided to be able to advance and retreat in the vertical direction in the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3. Since the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 of the operation unit 350 changes, the contact detection sensor main body 358 detects the capacitance of the contact detection body 352, so that the player approaches the effect operation unit 350. Or it can detect contact. When the contact detection sensor main body 358 detects the player's approach or contact with the effect operation unit 350, the effect operation unit 350 protrudes upward due to the biasing force of the lifting spring 365 of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360. Therefore, if the effect operation unit 350 protrudes while the player is not in contact with the effect operation unit 350, it contacts (collides) with the player, and the player is in contact with the effect operation unit 350. When the effect operation section unit 350 protrudes in , the player can be presented with an effect by a physical force that pushes the player. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong impact to the player by a performance not found in the conventional pachinko machine, to strongly attract the player's interest to the performance operation unit 350, and to the player. It is possible to reliably make the user notice the projection of the performance operation unit 350. - 特許庁

When the effect operation section unit 350 is projected, if the lifting spring lower holding member 385 of the projection force adjustment mechanism 380 is moved in the direction of the upper end portion of the lifting spring 365 (upward), the lifting spring 365 is strongly compressed. When the lift spring 365 is moved in a direction (downward) away from the upper end portion side of the lift spring 365, the compression of the lift spring 365 is weakened and the bias force can be reduced. By moving the holding member 385 to an appropriate position, it is possible to change the biasing force of the effect operation section unit 350 by the lifting spring 365 . In this way, since the effect operation section unit 350 can be protruded with various projecting forces, it is possible to increase the variation of the effect by physical force, and it is possible to make the player less likely to get bored, and the effect operation can be performed. It is possible to entertain the performance by the protrusion of the part unit 350, and to suppress the decrease in the player's interest in the game.

In addition, since the projecting force of the effect operation unit 350 is changed in accordance with the game state, when the player approaches or touches the effect operation unit 350 with a finger or the like, the effect operation unit 350 is moved with a strong force. When the 350 comes into contact with the player, a strong impact is given to the player, and the player can strongly feel that something good is happening (for example, the occurrence of an advantageous game state in which the player is advantageous), and the game is played. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest by increasing the expectation for.

In addition, since the effect operation unit 350 is the pressing operation unit 303 capable of pressing operation, when the player participatory effect is executed, the player can press the effect operation unit 350 to perform the game. It is possible to make the player participate in the player-participation type performance, and to entertain the pressing operation of the performance operation section unit 350, thereby suppressing the decrease in interest.

In addition, since the effect operation unit 350 can be operated by pressing, it is possible to operate the effect operation unit 350 at any time. When the player participatory effect in which the effect operation part unit 350 is pressed is executed, the effect operation part unit 350 is protruded by the effect operation part lifting mechanism 360, so that the player participatory effect is performed by effect images, sounds, etc. Even without guiding the execution start of the performance, the player can be made to quickly recognize the start of execution of the player participation type performance, and the motivation for the pressing operation of the performance operation part unit 350 can be increased to perform the player participation type performance. can entertain you even more.

Furthermore, since the effect operation unit 350 is protruded by the biasing force of the elevating spring 365 in the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, it is compared with the case where the effect operation unit 350 is projected using a drive motor. As a result, the effect operation section unit 350 can be protruded easily and vigorously, and the effects described above can be more easily achieved.

Further, by detecting the electrostatic capacitance of the contact detection body 352 by the contact detection sensor main body 358, the approach or contact of the player to the effect operation unit 350 is detected, and the electrostatic capacity of the contact detection body 352 is detected. Since the capacity differs according to the distance between the effect operation unit 350 and the player, it is possible to provide a plurality of electrostatic capacity thresholds and project the effect operation unit 350 with a different protrusion force for each threshold. becomes. Therefore, the contact detection sensor main body 358 can detect the distance (distance) from the approach of the player's finger or the like to the production operation unit 350 to the contact in multiple stages. By projecting with a projecting force, it is possible to present a more diverse performance to the player, to make it difficult for the player to get bored, and to suppress the decline in interest.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the plate unit 200 of the door frame 3 is popped up by execution of the player participation type effect, so that the player can enter the effect operation unit 350 which is provided so that the player can advance and retreat. approaches or touches, the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 provided on the back side of the button body 351 of the effect operation unit 350 that the player touches changes. On the other hand, since the contact detection sensor main body 358 provided apart from the contact detection body 352 in the effect operation unit 350 detects the electrostatic capacitance of the contact detection body 352, the contact due to the approach or contact of the player is detected. Since the change in the capacitance of the detection body 352 can be captured, it is possible to detect the player's approach or contact with the button body 351 of the effect operation unit 350, and the contact detection sensor body 358 is detected by the capacitance. A player can be detected. Then, the detection of the contact detection sensor main body 358 and the movement (pressing) of the production operation unit 350 by the player causes the production operation unit outer peripheral decoration board 320, the button outer decoration board 355, the production operation part lifting mechanism 360, and the inside button decoration board. 364, the projection force adjusting mechanism 380, and the effect display device 1600 and other effect means execute a predetermined effect. In other words, when the player advances or retreats the effect operation unit 350 or approaches or touches the effect operation unit 350, a predetermined effect is executed, so that the player can be entertained by the effect. It is possible to suppress the decline in the player's interest in the game.

At this time, when the player approaches or touches the effect operation unit 350, the effect is executed. can function as On the other hand, when the player advances and retreats (presses) the effect operation unit 350, the effect is executed, so the effect operation unit 350 can be made to function like a effect operation unit (pressing operation unit). For this reason, since it is possible for the player to perform a variety of performance operations, the player can enjoy various performance operations by executing a player participation type performance that enables the player to perform the performance operation. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to get bored, and the player can enjoy the player-participation type presentation, thereby suppressing the decline of the player's interest in the game.

In addition, the player is detected by the electrostatic capacity of the contact detection body 352 provided near the portion of the button body 351 in the effect operation unit 350 that the player touches (under the upper surface portion 351a). , the capacitance of the contact detection body 352 varies depending on the distance between the contact detection body 352 (the button body 351) and the player. It is possible to execute a different effect for each threshold. Therefore, since it is possible to detect the distance (distance) from the approach of the player's finger or the like to the production operation unit 350 to the contact thereof in multiple stages, the production can be presented according to each stage. Therefore, it is possible to present more diverse performances to the player, to prevent the player from getting tired of the game, and to suppress the loss of interest.

In addition, since a predetermined effect is executed by the detection of the player by the contact detection body 352 and the contact detection sensor body 358, the effect operation (non-contact operation, A sense of operation can be given to the contact operation), and the player can enjoy the performance operation more.

Furthermore, the player is provided with a production operation unit 350 that can be advanced and retreated (pressable), and a contact detection body 352 and a contact detection sensor main body 358 that can detect the approach or contact of the player to the production operation unit 350. Therefore, in the player-participation type production, the player has an operation (pressing operation) to advance and retreat the production operation unit 350, an operation to approach or touch the production operation unit 350 with a finger or the like (non-contact operation, contact operation). ), etc., and the variety of operations can increase a player's willingness to participate in the player participation type performance, and facilitate participation in the player participation type performance. can be done. When the player participates in the player-participation type production, various operations using the production operation section unit 350, the contact detection body 352, and the contact detection sensor main body 358 can prevent the player from getting bored. At the same time, it is possible to entertain the player participation type production, and to suppress the decline in the interest of the player.

In addition, by engaging the guide pin 354c of the button base 354 of the effect operation unit 350 with the engaging portion 371c of the elevation cam member 371 of the effect operation unit elevating mechanism 360, the effect operation unit 350 is locked so as not to advance or retreat. Therefore, by making the effect operating unit 350 unable to move forward and backward by the guide pin 354c and the elevation cam member 371 until the effect to move the effect operating unit 350 forward and backward is executed, the effect operating unit 350 350 can be prevented from moving or shaking without permission. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling distrust or anxiety due to the arbitrarily moving or swaying of the performance operating unit 350, thereby making the performance by the performance operating unit 350 more enjoyable. can be made available.

Furthermore, in the effect operation unit 350, since the contact detection sensor main body 358 is provided at a position away from the contact detection body 352, the contact detection sensor having electronic parts such as a sensor IC and an output circuit The main body 358 can be provided in a part that is hard to be seen by a player, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.

In addition, since the contact detection body 352 for detecting the capacitance and the contact detection sensor main body 358 having a sensor IC for detecting the capacitance of the contact detection body 352, an output circuit, etc., are separated, Since the shape, material, etc. of the contact detection body 352 can be appropriately selected regardless of the contact detection sensor main body 358, the contact detection body 352 can be matched with the shape, form, specifications, etc. of the button main body 351 of the effect operation unit 350. , and the pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, in the effect operation unit 300 of the door frame 3, the player can attach the outer button decoration substrate 355, the inner button decoration substrate 364, or the button main body 351 or the surface member 396 covering the decoration 398.

The connection cable guide member 502 is attached such that an attachment shaft 502c is rotatable around an axis extending vertically near the right end of the cable attachment recess 501h. As a result, the connection cable guide member 502 can rotate (hinge rotation) so that the left end side protrudes forward.

This connection cable guide member 502 is for guiding the connection cable 503 . The connection cable 503 consists of a plurality of wiring cords, one end of which is connected to the interface board 635 of the board unit 620 and the opposite end of which connects the door frame main relay board 104 of the door frame 3 and the door frame secondary board. It is connected to the relay board 105 .

Next, the effects of the connection cable guide member 502 will be described. As shown in FIG. 83 and the like, the connection cable guide member 502 is attached to the body frame base 501 at an end (right end) on the side opposite to the side (left side) on which the door frame 3 is rotatably attached to the hinge in the left-right direction. ) is mounted rotatably around an axis extending parallel to the hinge axis of the door frame 3 .

It is attached to the guide body 502a by being tightened together with the guide body 502a by a binding band 504 inserted through a set of through holes 502d at the same position.

The connection cable guide member 502 of the main body frame 4 is assembled to the pachinko machine 1, and in a state in which the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the door frame main relay board 104 and the door frame sub-relay board 105 of the door frame 3 are installed. (see FIG. 83(a)). In this state, the connection cable 503 extends leftward from the connection cable guide member 502, bends back in front of the lower hinge mounting portion 501l, passes through the cable holder 103a of the door frame 3, and passes through the door frame relay board cover. 107. The cable holder 103 a of the door frame 3 is arranged to the left of the left end of the connection cable guide member 502 .

In this state, when the hinge is rotated to open the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4, the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pulled forward by the side of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3, The connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the mounting shaft 502c at the right end.

In this embodiment, the maximum open angle β is less than 45 degrees.

In this way, when the door frame 3 is opened, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates so that the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 moves forward from the main body frame base 501 . By guiding the connection cable 503, it is possible to prevent the connection cable 503 from hanging down between the door frame 3 and the body frame 4. - 特許庁

When the opened door frame 3 is closed, the portion of the connection cable 503 attached to the door frame 3 moves relatively rearward, so the left end side of the connection cable guide member 502 is pushed rearward by the connection cable 503. As a result, the connection cable guide member 502 rotates about the mounting shaft 502c so that the left end moves rearward. At this time, since the connection cable guide member 502 is opened at an opening angle β of less than 45 degrees, the connection cable guide member 502 does not hinder the movement of the door frame 3 in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 is opened. It can be closed smoothly. Further, since the connection cable 503 is guided by the connection cable guide member 502, the connection cable 503 is not caught between the door frame 3 and the body frame 4 when the door frame 3 is closed. problems can be prevented.

Further, when the door frame 3 is closed with respect to the main body frame 4, the connection cable 503 guided by the connection cable guide member 502 is folded back 180 degrees. You can get used to it. As a result, when the door frame 3 is opened and the portion of the connection cable 503 folded back 180 degrees is changed to open, a force to close the connection cable 503 is applied due to the fold. Therefore, when the door frame 3 is closed, the crease of the door frame 3 can prevent the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) from moving in the opening direction, and the connection cable 503 (connection cable guide member 502) can be prevented from moving. It can be guided in the closing direction, and the door frame 3 can be closed smoothly.

Further, on the side of the door frame 3, the folded connection cable 503 is attached to the cable holder 103a at a position closer to the central axis (axis) of the upper door frame hinge pin 122 and the lower door frame hinge pin 126 than the tip of the connection cable guide member 502. Therefore, 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 guides the leading end of the connection cable guide member 502 to the door frame upper hinge pin 122 and the door frame upper hinge pin 122. It can be pulled toward the central axis (axis) side of the lower door frame hinge pin 126 .

Further, in the present embodiment, the center axis (axis) of the upper door frame hinge pin 122 and the lower door frame hinge pin 126 passes through the rotation center of the connection cable guide member 502, and the door is positioned closer to the speaker duct 103 than the cable holder 103a. The angle between the tangent to the circle passing through the portion (pressing portion) protruding rearward on the central axis (axis) side of the upper frame hinge pin 122 and the lower door frame hinge pin 126 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 comes into contact with the connection cable 503, thereby closing the tip side of the connection cable guide member 502 that is open through the connection cable 503. Since the connection cable guide member 502 can be smoothly closed as the door frame 3 moves in the closing direction, 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, when the door frame 3 is closed, the connection cable guide member 502 can be reliably rotated in the closing direction, and effects similar to those described above can be achieved.

The guide passage 570a opens upward near the left end of the upper surface of the guide unit base 571, extends vertically downward from the upper end to near the center in the height direction of the guide unit base 571, and then bends rightward to guide the guide unit base 571. The guide unit base 571 extends downward in a meandering manner while being repeatedly folded between the widths of the unit base 571 in the horizontal direction, and opens downward near the left end of the lower surface of the guiding unit base 571 .

The guide passage 570a is formed so that the depth in the front-rear right direction and the width in the left-right direction are slightly larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B with respect to the circulation direction in which the game ball B is circulated. It can be guided in a line.

The ball guide unit 570 has a movable piece member 573 attached near the top thereof so as to be able to move forward and backward into the guide passage 570a. Specifically, the upper portion of the movable piece member 573 is attached to the right outer side of the guide passage 570a in a front view so as to be rotatable around an axis extending back and forth, and a portion of the lower end protrudes into the guide passage 570a due to its own weight. is formed to This movable piece member 573 is in a state where the game ball B abuts on the part protruding into the guide passage 570a, and the protruding part is pushed by the game ball B and retreats from the guide passage 570a and does not protrude. becomes.

The ball cutting detection sensor 574 does not detect the movable piece member 573 when part of the movable piece member 573 protrudes into the guide passage 570a, and part of the movable piece member 573 retreats from the guide passage 570a. When not protruding, the movable piece member 573 is detected. Therefore, the ball-off detection sensor 574 is in a state of detection when the game ball B exists in the guide path 570a, and is in a non-detection state when the game ball B does not exist in the guide path 570a.

When the ball guiding unit 570 is assembled to the body frame 4, the upstream end of the guiding passage 570a communicates with the downstream end of the tank rail 553, and the downstream end of the guiding passage 570a communicates with the dispensing passage of the dispensing device 580. It communicates with the upstream end of 580a. In the ball guide unit 570, since the guide passage 570a for guiding the game ball B extends in a meandering manner, the guide passage 570a extends longer than the total height of the ball guide unit 570, and many games are played in the guide passage 570a. Ball B can be stored. In addition, since the ball guide unit 570 can detect the presence or absence of the game ball B in the guide passage 570a by the ball end detection sensor 574, the presence or absence of the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is detected via the guide passage 570a. can do.

Further, the payout device 580 is attached by a payout device main body 581 and a payout device rear lid 582 at the downstream end of the payout passage 580a. A movable ball removal piece 592 attached to a portion branched from the dispensing passage 580a by a lid 582 so as to be able to open and close the ball removal passage 580b, and the ball removal movable piece 592 can be held at a position where the ball removal passage 580b is closed. and a ball extracting lever 593 attached to the dispensing device main body 581 and the dispensing device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

The dispensing device 580 is formed in a rectangular shape extending vertically in a plan view. Dispensing device 580 has a width in the left-right direction larger than the width in the left-right direction of ball guiding unit 570 toward the right in front view.

As shown in FIG. 88, the dispensing passage 580a of the dispensing device 580 has an upstream end that opens upward at a position to the left of the center in the left-right direction, and a downstream end that opens at a position near the right end in the left-right direction. It is open downward. The dispensing passage 580a extends obliquely downward from the top to about 1/3 of the total height so as to move leftward little by little as it goes downward from the upstream end, and after bending slightly obliquely downward to the right from there, It bends at about 1/3 of the left and right width and extends downward substantially vertically toward the center (rotational axis) of the delivery blade 589 . Then, above 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 between the outer circumference of the payout blade 589 is formed, and extends vertically downward to the downstream end at a position to the right of the center of the dispensing blade 589 in the rear view.

A payout detection sensor 591 is arranged below the payout vane 589 and directly above the downstream end in the payout passage 580a.

The ball extraction passage 580b extends obliquely downward from the upstream end in the dispensing passage 580a and branches at a portion where it is bent rightward, and extends vertically to the lower end along the left side in rear view. It opens downward near the left end.

The payout device main body 581 and the payout device rear lid 582 are opposed to each other on the side where the ball removal movable piece 592 is attached at the part where the payout passage 580a and the ball removal passage 580b diverge. The body-side guide wall 581a protrudes rearward and forward from each so as to form a narrower gap, and is formed so as to be continuous with the left side walls of the dispensing passage 580a and the ball removal passage 580b in a rear view. and a rear lid side guide wall 582a. The body-side guide wall 581a and the rear lid-side guide wall 582a branch from the ball removal passage 580b in the dispensing passage 580a and extend to the right in the rear view at a position about 1/3 of the height 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 depressed obliquely upward to the left in a rear view, and are formed so as to mainly constitute the side walls of the ball removal passage 580b. The ball removing movable piece 592 rotates through 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 of the portion of the payout device main body 581 where the payout passage 580a extends obliquely downward from the upstream end when viewed from the rear. The drive gear 585, the first transmission gear 586, the second transmission gear 587, and the dispensing gear member 588 are arranged in front of the dispensing device main body 581, and the front side is covered with the dispensing device front lid 583. The dispensing gear member 588 is provided with three outwardly extending flat detection pieces 588b at angular intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction.

The dispensing blade 589 is arranged between the dispensing device main body 581 and the dispensing device rear lid 582 . The delivery blade 589 is provided with three blade pieces 589a extending outward in a flat plate shape at intervals of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction. The wing piece 589a extends from above in the payout passage 580a toward the rotating shaft and then extends rightward in rear view so that the distance between the blade piece 589a and the side wall of the payout passage is narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B. Further, it protrudes into the dispensing passage 580a. The payout blade 589 has a ball housing portion 589b recessed in an arc with a radius slightly larger than the radius of the game ball B toward the center between three blade pieces 589a. Only one game ball B can be accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 589b. As a result, the payout blade 589 can restrict the movement of the game ball B in the payout passage 580a to the downstream side of the payout blade 589 by the blade piece 589a, and rotates clockwise in the rear view. Thus, the game ball B housed in the ball housing portion 589b can be moved downstream.

The payout gear member 588 and the payout blade 589 are coaxially attached to the payout device rear cover 582 and the payout device front cover 583 so as to be rotatable together. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 is arranged on the left side of the rotating shaft of the dispensing gear member 588 when viewed from the rear. The blade rotation detection sensor 590 detects the rotation of the delivery blade 589 by detecting the detection piece 588b of the delivery gear member 588 that rotates together with the delivery blade 589 .

The upper end of the ball removing movable piece 592 is rotatably attached to the upper ends of the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear cover side guide wall 582a around an axis extending back and forth. The ball removing movable piece 592 is bent in a V-shape, and is attached so that the recessed side faces the inside of the dispensing passage 580a. The ball extraction 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. It can protrude into the ball removal passage 580b or retreat out of the ball removal passage 580b through the gap between them.

The ball removal lever 593 is attached to the dispensing device main body 581 and the dispensing device rear lid 582 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction near the upper end of the ball removal movable piece 592 and to the left in the rear view. A portion of the ball removal lever 593 penetrates the dispensing device rear lid 582 and protrudes rearward, and can be slid by operating the protruding portion. By positioning the ball extracting lever 593 at the lower end, the lower part thereof can come into contact with the ball extracting movable piece 592, and the rotation of the ball extracting movable piece 592 in the clockwise direction in the rear view can be restricted. The ball removal movable piece 592 can close the ball removal passage 580b. Further, by positioning the ball extraction lever 593 at the upper end, the ball extraction movable piece 592 can be turned to the outside of the ball extraction passage 580b, and the ball extraction passage 580b can be opened (Fig. 89).

When the ball extraction lever 593 is lifted to make the ball extraction movable piece 592 rotatable, the game ball B, which was in a state like a daisy chain on the upstream side of the ball extraction movable piece 592, moves to the ball extraction movable piece 592. and flows down to the ball removal passage 580b side. At this time, since the ball removal passage 580b extends straight from the upstream side of the payout passage 580a, the game ball B flowing down from the upstream of the payout passage 580a flows straight down to the ball removal passage 580b side. At the same time, since the downstream side of the ball extraction passage 580b communicates with the island facility side, there is no such thing as the payout vane 589 that suppresses the flow of the game ball B, so the game ball B is released from the payout passage 580a side. will flow down quickly.

In this way, when the ball extraction movable piece 592 is rotatable, the game ball B flows down in the ball extraction passage 580b at a high speed. The game ball B comes into contact with the lower end side of the game ball B vigorously, but the ball removal movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a of the dispensing device main body 581 and the rear lid side guide wall 582a of the dispensing device rear lid 582. Since it can move outward from the inner surface of the ball removal passage 580b, the ball removal movable piece 592 moves to the outside of the ball removal passage 580b due to the force of this contact. It is not caught between the wall surface of the extraction passage 580b and the game ball B, and the game ball B can prevent a strong force from acting on the ball extraction movable piece 592, and the ball extraction movement due to the collision of the game ball B can be prevented. It is possible to suppress deterioration in durability and breakage of the piece 592 .

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

Also, when the ball extraction movable piece 592 is in a rotatable state, the ball extraction movable piece 592 passes between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, which are narrower than the game ball B, and the ball extraction passage 580b. , the game ball B comes into contact with the ball removal movable piece 592 projecting into the ball removal passage 580b, so that the ball removal movable piece 592 moves between 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 cover side guide wall 582a together with the ball removal movable piece 592 when moving outward through the gap, the gap is larger than the game ball B. Only the game ball B can be prevented from moving outward by the narrow gap between the 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 gap between the main body side guide wall 581a and the rear cover side guide wall 582a, so that the game ball B is separated from the ball removal movable piece 592, and the ball after that is released. Since the movement of the movable ball removal piece 592 is due to inertial force, no strong force acts on the movable ball removal piece 592, making it difficult to damage the movable ball removal piece 592, and the main body side guide. The game ball B does not fly out of the ball extraction passage 580b from between the wall 581a and the rear lid side guide wall 582a, and the game ball B can be surely circulated to the downstream side of the ball extraction passage 580b.

FIG. 98(a) is a plan view of the body frame, and (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in (a). FIG. 99 is an enlarged view showing an enlarged upper portion of the perspective view of the body frame as viewed from behind. FIG. 100(a) is a perspective view of the sphere tank assembled with tank rails, etc., viewed from the front and above, and FIG. 100(b) is a perspective view of (a) viewed from the front and bottom. FIG. 101 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 100(a) exploded and viewed from the front. FIG. 102 is an explanatory diagram showing an area in which game balls overflowing from the ball tank in the upper portion of the main body frame circulate. FIG. 103 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of game balls overflowing from the ball tank in the upper part of the body frame. FIG. 104 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of game balls to the detour passage in the upper part of the body frame. FIG. 105 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the tank rail in a perspective view of the body frame viewed from behind the hinge side.

As described above, the body frame 4 can be inserted into the frame of the outer frame 2 at its rear portion, and can be attached to and detached from the outer frame 2 by means of the body frame upper hinge member 510 and the body frame lower hinge assembly 520. A frame-shaped body frame base 501 that is rotatably attached and capable of supporting the outer circumference of the game board 5, and an inverted L-shaped body that is attached along the upper and left sides of the body frame base 501 in a front view on the rear side. A payout base 551, a sphere tank 552 that is attached to the payout base 551 and has a box shape (container shape) that extends left and right and opens upward, and a ball tank 552 that is attached to the left side of the ball tank 552 and opens upward. A tank rail 553 extending leftward in a groove shape, a first rail cover 554 attached to a part of the upper end of the tank rail 553, and a tank rail separated from the first rail cover 554 leftward in front view. a second rail cover 555 attached to the upper end of the tank rail 553; A ball stop member 557 attached to the downstream end of the payout base 551, a payout device 580 attached to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 behind the payout base 551 and for paying out game balls B to the player side, It has

The sphere tank 552 has a rectangular shape extending in the left-right direction when viewed from above. It has a front wall 552b and a rear wall 552c extending upward, and a left side wall 552d and a right side wall 552e extending upward from both left and right sides of the bottom wall 552a. It is The ball tank 552 stores game balls B supplied from an island facility such as a game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed.

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

The tank rail 553 communicates with the inside of the ball tank 552 on the right end side (upstream side) when viewed from the front, 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 extends from the vicinity of the upstream to the downstream end at the bottom, and has a gutter-shaped main guiding portion 553a formed so that only one game ball B can flow in the width direction orthogonal to the direction of circulation of the game ball B. have. The main guiding portion 553a is inclined so as to become lower toward the left in front view. In a plan view, the main guiding portion 553a extends leftward from the right end parallel to the axis extending in the leftward and rightward direction from the right end to a position about 1/10 of the total length in the leftward and rightward directions, and then leftward. It is formed in a crank shape extending obliquely from the right end to a position of about 4/10 of the total length in the left-right direction so as to move rearward as it goes, and extending from there to the left end parallel to the axis extending in the left-right direction. . The main guide portion 553a of the tank rail 553 has a portion extending from the left end to the right in parallel with the axis extending in the left-right direction and extending to the upper end with the same width. The upper side is closed by attaching the cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball straightening member 556. As shown in FIG. In addition, the tank rail 553 is formed so that the height of the passage 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 (slightly higher than the outer diameter of the game ball B) at which only one can be circulated.

In addition, 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 main guide portion 553a is arranged so that a plurality of game balls B are arranged in the width direction perpendicular to the distribution direction of the game balls B. It has a bulging portion 553b that bulges wider than the width of the guide portion 553a and that changes in width direction from the upstream end toward the downstream side so as to match the width of the main guide portion 553a. there is By means of this bulging portion 553b, a plurality of game balls B 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 as it goes downstream. Moreover, the bulging portion 553b is formed so that the width direction becomes narrower from the upper end toward the main guide portion 553a downward. Thus, the tank rail 553 can align the plurality of game balls B flowing in the bulging portion 553b so that the width direction is aligned in a row toward the downstream side and downward side.

The center of curvature of the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 is arranged on the inner side, and the bulging portion 553b is formed in a three-dimensionally curved shape. Since the center of curvature of the bulging portion 553b is located above the main guiding portion 553a, the tank rail 553 has a slight bulge at the boundary between the main guiding portion 553a and the bulging portion 553b. A chamfered corner is 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 flowing through the three-dimensionally curved swelling portion 553b, the direction in which the reaction force from the swelling portion 553b acts depends on the position of the contacting swelling portion 553b. Since the direction changes in various directions, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of spheroids in the bulging portion 553b. More specifically, when the bulging portion 553b is formed in a shape that extends constantly, the game ball B flowing through the bulging portion 553b is always subjected to reaction force in a constant direction from the inner surface of the bulging portion 553b. As a result, the reaction force becomes difficult to disperse, and the game ball B inside is always pushed in a fixed direction, making it difficult for the game ball B to escape and ball clogging (ball jam) is likely to occur. On the other hand, since the bulging portion 553b is 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. By dispersing the directions in which the plurality of game balls B to be pushed are dispersed, the pushed game balls B can be easily escaped, and ball clogging (ball jam) can be made difficult to occur.

The tank rail 553 is made of a transparent material so that the inside can be seen from the outside. As a result, even if a ball jam (ball jam) occurs in the tank rail 553, the state of the game balls B in the tank rail 553 can be seen from the outside, so the place where the ball is jammed can be specified quickly. can do. Therefore, since the ball clogging in the tank rail 553 can be quickly eliminated, the interruption of the game due to the occurrence of the clogging of the balls can be shortened as much as possible, and the player's interest in the game due to the interruption of the game can be enhanced. A decrease can be suppressed. In addition, 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 seen through the tank rail 553 from the rear. When a problem occurs in the movement of the movable effect unit or the like, the state of the transmission mechanism such as the drive motor, gears, belts, etc. can be checked while the game board 5 is still attached to the main body frame 4, and the same as above. It is possible to achieve the effects of

The body frame 4 is provided on the front side of the ball tank 552 and extends in the front-rear direction, and the same side (left side in front view) as the downstream side of the tank rail 553 in the left-right direction is outside the left side wall 552 d of the ball tank 552 . In order to return the game balls B overflowing forward from the ball tank 552 to the ball tank 552, the rear end side is at the same height as the overflow portion 552f and the front end side is inclined so that the height is higher. and an overflow surface portion 501m extending rearward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 at the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m to above the bulging portion 553b where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open, and the rear end side is low. , and the side (left side) away from the ball tank 552 in the horizontal direction is inclined to be lower, and a part of the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501m and a detour passage 552g that guides the

In addition, the main body frame 4 is provided on the side opposite to the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 among both left and right outer sides of the detour passage 552g. and a discharge portion 551j whose height is lower than the portion of the tank rail 553 where the upper side is open, and a position lower than the overflow surface portion 501m on the opposite side of the bypass passage 552g across the discharge portion 551j. An external terminal plate 558 having a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring can be connected from the rear, and the upper side of the plurality of wire connection terminals 558a (external terminal plate 558) are covered, and the upper surface is overflowed. and a terminal cover 551k extending horizontally at a position higher than the surface portion 501m.

The overflow surface portion 501m is formed on the body frame base 501 . The overflow surface portion 501m is formed in a rectangular shape extending vertically when viewed from the front. extended to The overflow surface portion 501m is formed so that the length in the horizontal direction is about 1/3 of the length in the horizontal direction of the main body frame base 501, and the left end in a front view extends from the left end of the main body frame base 501. It is positioned to the right of 1/3 of the total length in the horizontal direction. The overflow surface portion 501m is formed so that the height from the front end to the rear end is about half the outer diameter of the game ball B. This overflow surface portion 501m forms a gap with a distance of about twice the outer diameter of the game ball B between the main body frame 4 and the outer frame upper member 30 in a state where the body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. .

The main body frame base 501 is arranged on both left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501m, and includes a flat plate-like 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 501m, The upper end of the left step portion 501n and the right step portion 501o is higher than the left step portion 501n and the right step portion 501o on both left and right outer sides, and extends in the front-rear direction in a strip shape. and a plurality of ribs 501p arranged at intervals narrower than the diameter. The left step portion 501n is formed so that the length in the left-right direction is shorter than the length in the front-rear direction. In addition, the left step portion 501n is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane so that the rear end right corner is slightly lower when viewed from the front. The right stepped portion 501o is longer in the left-right direction than in the front-rear direction. Further, the right stepped portion 501o is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane so that the left corner of the rear end is slightly lower when viewed from the front.

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 raised. The gap between is formed at a height narrower than the outer diameter of the game ball B.

When the body frame base 501 is assembled to the body frame 4, the right end of the overflow surface portion 501m is aligned with the right end of the overflow portion 552f of the ball tank 552 in the front view. The right end of the right stepped portion 501o coincides with the right side wall 552e of the ball tank 552 in the left-right direction.

The detour passage 552g is formed integrally with the ball tank 552. As shown in FIG. Note that the container-shaped area 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 the sphere tank 552 below. The detour passage 552g extends leftward from the outside of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 in a flat plate shape, and has a passage surface 552h whose front end is at the same height as the overflow portion 552f and whose rear end is lower. and a dam portion extending upward from the opposite side of the passage surface 552h to the left side wall 552d to the same height as the left side wall 552d. The rear end side of the passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g extends rearward to the same position as the rear wall 552c of the ball tank 552 at the left end side (the weir portion 552i side) of the rear end side when viewed from the front. It extends diagonally so as to move forward as it goes from the right end side. In addition, the passage surface 552h of the detour passage 552g may be horizontally inclined in the horizontal direction.

The detour passage 552g is arranged so that the rear end of the bypass passage 552g is aligned with the front end side of the portion of the tank rail 553 that extends in the left-right direction in a crank-like shape and that extends obliquely in the left-right direction. extended. That is, the rear end of the detour passage 552g extends obliquely with respect to the left-right direction. As a result, the game ball B guided backward by the detour passage 552g changes its circulation direction from the slanted rear end so as to be perpendicular to the slanted rear end. The obliquely extending rear end of the detour passage 552g extends substantially parallel to the obliquely extending portion of the tank rail 553 (distribution direction of the game ball B in the tank rail 553). Therefore, from the rear end of the detour passage 552g, since the game ball B is released in a direction substantially perpendicular to the circulation direction (width direction) of the tank rail 553, the detour passage 552g A game ball B from can be received. In addition, since the game ball B is supplied from the detour passage 552g into the tank rail 553 in a substantially vertical direction (perpendicular direction) to the circulation direction of the game ball B, the tank rail by the game ball B from the detour passage 552g Ball clogging in 553 can be made difficult to occur.

Since the rear end of the detour passage 552g extends obliquely with respect to 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 obliquely extending rear end allows the game ball B to be released to the upstream side where the width of the tank rail 553 is wider than the downstream side where the width of the tank rail 553 is narrowed. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of ball slugs in the tank rail 553 by discharging the fuel to a wide area.

In the tank rail 553, the part where the game ball B is guided by the detour passage 552g corresponds to the rear part of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 and the outside of the front view left part of the rear wall 552c. A game ball B that passes under the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 (the ceiling side of the opening 552k) from inside the ball tank 552 flows through this portion. For this reason, in the portion behind the detour passage 552g in the tank rail 553, the height of the plurality of game balls B stacked in the vertical direction is the height of the ceiling of the opening 552k (the height of the wall of the tank rail 553). height). 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 552g, a space (empty) in which the game balls B can be stacked upward can be secured, so that the detour passage 552g The tank rail 553 can surely receive the game ball B guided backward by the tank rail 553, and the game ball B does not fall backward from the tank rail 553.例文帳に追加

The sphere tank 552 has a flat plate shape extending to the right from a position slightly lower than the overflow portion 552f of the left side wall 552d on the inside surrounded by the front wall 552b, the rear wall 552c, and the left side wall 552d. guide surface portion 552j. The guide surface portion 552j extends in the front-rear direction from the front wall 552b to the rear wall 552c. In addition, the guide surface portion 552j has a right end side extending from the left end of the front wall 552b to the left end of the front wall 552b in the left-right direction from the position about 1/3 of the total length of the front wall 552b in the left-right direction from the left end of the front wall 552b. After extending obliquely rearward from the front wall 552b to about 1/2 of the full length in the front-rear direction of the left side wall 552d at about 1/9 of the full length, it extends in parallel with the left side wall 552d to the vicinity of the rear wall 552c, From there, it extends parallel to the rear wall 552c with a constant width in the front-rear direction from the left end of the rear wall 552c to about 1/3 of the total length in the left-right direction of the rear wall 552c.

In the spherical tank 552, in a plan view, a straight line connecting the right end side of the guide surface portion 552j formed in the above-described shape and the end of the right end side on the front wall 552b side and the end on the rear wall 552c side. and has an opening 552k penetrating in the vertical direction. Further, the ball tank 552 has flat flanges extending laterally outward and vertically on the same plane 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 bypass passage 552g. It has a portion 552l. In the ball tank 552, the height of the upper edge of the portion of the front wall 552b excluding the overflow portion 552f and the upper edge of the two flange portions 552l is equal to the upper edge of the left wall 552d and the rear wall 552c (body frame base 501). upper surface of the left step portion 501n and the right step portion 501o).

When the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 are assembled together, the upstream end of the tank rail 553 (right end in front view) is connected to the opening 552k of the ball tank 552 . In addition, the obliquely extending portion of the tank rail 553 extending in the left-right direction in a crank shape in a plan view and the portion extending straight in the left-right direction on the left side of the tank rail 553 are positioned (protruded) behind the ball tank 552 . )are doing. The rear end side of the left detour passage 552g of the left side wall 552d of the ball tank 552 is positioned at the front end of the obliquely 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. As shown in FIG. The discharge part 551j is arranged in the ball tank 552 so that when assembled to the main body frame 4, the height lower than the bypass passage 552g is lowered rearward in a stepwise manner to the same height as the bottom wall 552a of the ball tank 552. After extending rearward from the rear side of the flange portion 552l on the left side in front view to the tank rail 553, it extends leftward along the tank rail 553 to a position higher than the upper end of the tank rail 553 (the center of the second rail cover 555 in the left-right direction). position in the vicinity), and then extends backward.

The external terminal plate 558 has a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a arranged in the lateral direction on the rear surface thereof. The electric wire connection terminal 558a is a one-touch terminal in which the gripping portion can be opened by operating a lever to grip the tip of the electric wiring. The external terminal plate 558 is arranged in front of the part where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed by the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556 in a state assembled to the main body frame 4. . A terminal cover 551k that covers the upper side of the external terminal plate 558 (the plurality of 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 of the ball tank 552. As shown in FIG.

Next, the function and effect of the upper portion of the body frame 4 in the pachinko machine 1 will be described. First, the overflow surface portion 501m, the left step portion 501n, the right step portion 501o, and the detour passage 552g are arranged such that the rear end side of the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g are lowered as indicated by white arrows in FIG. The left stepped portion 501n has a rear right corner, and the right stepped portion 501o has a rear left corner. Also, the bottom wall 552a of the ball tank 552 and the tank rail 553 (main guide portion 553a) are inclined so that the left end side thereof becomes lower when viewed from the front. 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 lowered.

Then, when the amount of game balls B stored in the ball tank 552 increases by being supplied from the island equipment, first, the overflow portion 552f, which is the lowest in the upper edge of the outer periphery, is crossed. The game balls B overflowing from the ball tank 552 can escape to the overflow surface portion 501m, and can be made to flow out from the ball tank 552 to the front overflow surface portion 501m. The game ball B can be returned into the ball tank 552 by the inclination of the overflow surface portion 501m (see FIG. 103). Therefore, since it is possible to prevent the game balls B from increasing further in the ball tank 552, it is possible to suppress the game balls B from strongly pushing each other in the ball tank 552 (increase in ball pressure). , it is possible to prevent the occurrence of clogging (so-called ball jam) due to engagement of the game balls B in the ball tank 552 .

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

Furthermore, a part of the game ball B overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501m can be guided to the downstream side of the tank rail 553 by the detour passage 552g, 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) by the game ball B sent to the tank rail 553 by the bypass passage 552g can be directed to the downstream side of the tank rail 553. , it is possible to suppress the game balls B from strongly pushing each other in the tank rail 553 and prevent the game balls B from being clogged.

In addition, since the height of the upper edge of the outer periphery of the ball tank 552 other than the overflow portion 552f is higher than the overflow portion 552f, the ball between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g The upper 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, after overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the overflow surface portion 501m over the overflow portion 552f, the game ball B circulating from the overflow surface portion 501m to the bypass passage 552g is on the left side of the ball tank 552. By being blocked by the wall 552d, it is possible to prevent the game ball B from returning from the detour passage 552g 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 and the ball is released. It is possible to prevent clogging of the game balls B in the tank 552 .

Furthermore, as described above, the upper edge of the left side wall 552d between the ball tank 552 and the detour passage 552g is positioned from the rear end of the overflow surface portion 501m (passage surface 552h on which the game ball B rolls in the detour passage 552g). Since the height is also high, it is possible to prevent the game balls B from overflowing from the ball tank 552 to the detour passage 552g without passing through the overflow surface portion 501m. As a result, it is possible to prevent the inflow of the game ball B from the side (the ball tank 552) with respect to the detour passage 552g, so that the flow of the game ball B in the detour passage 552g is prevented from the overflow surface portion 501m on the front end side. The flow can be in a constant direction toward the tank rail 553 on the end side, and the pressure of the game ball B guided to the tank rail 553 from the detour passage 552g can be in a constant direction. Therefore, in the tank rail 553, it is possible to prevent the game balls B from pushing each other and getting caught due to the direction of the pressure applied to the game balls B being varied, and the occurrence of clogging of the game balls B can be prevented. can be prevented.

In addition, since the bottom of the tank rail 553 is provided with the main guiding portion 553a extending to the downstream end, the game balls B in the tank rail 553 reach the main guiding portion 553a, thereby aligning in the horizontal direction. Since they are aligned, 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. In addition, since the tank rail 553 has a wide bulging portion 553b in which a plurality of game balls B can be arranged in a portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is open, the game ball released from the rear end of the detour passage 552g The ball B can be reliably received, and the effects described above can be reliably achieved.

In addition, the bulging portion 553b of the tank rail 553 extends from the upstream end to the portion where the upper side is closed, and the width direction becomes narrower from the upstream end toward the downstream side so that the width of the main guiding portion 553a becomes smaller. Since they are changed so as to coincide with each other, a plurality of game balls B can be aligned in a line in the width direction as they go downstream in the bulging portion 553b. In addition, since the part where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed is formed so that the height of the flow path through which the game ball B circulates decreases toward the downstream end, the upstream side (the ball tank 552 side) By circulating a plurality of game balls B stacked in multiple stages in the height direction to the downstream side through the portion where the upper side of the tank rail 553 is closed, the number of stages in the height direction is reduced and a row is formed. can be aligned to Therefore, the tank rail 553 can guide a plurality of game balls B to the downstream side (payout device 580 side) in a state of being aligned in a row.

Furthermore, since the overflow surface portion 501m and the detour passage 552g 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 bulging portion 553b. Therefore, since the capacity inside the tank rail 553 can be increased, more game balls B can be stored together with the ball tank 552 .

An external terminal plate 558 having a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a to which electrical wiring is connected, and a plurality of wire connection terminals 558a ( Since the terminal cover 551k covering the upper side of the external terminal plate 558) is provided, the wire connection terminal 558a and the terminal cover 551k can be placed far from the ball tank 552 to which the game balls B are supplied from the island facility. Therefore, even if the game ball B supplied from the island equipment bounces or is vigorously supplied in the ball tank 552 or the overflow surface portion 501m, it can be made difficult to reach (abut) the wire connection terminal 558a or the like. , the contact of the game ball B does not cause a short circuit or disconnection of the electric wiring.

In addition, since the plurality of wire connection terminals 558a are directed backward and the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k is made higher than the overflow surface portion 501m, the game ball B supplied from the island equipment to the ball tank 552 is placed in the ball tank 552. Even if it bounces on the overflow surface portion 501m, it can be made difficult to ride on the upper surface of the terminal cover 551k, and even if the game ball B rides 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 501m to the guide surface portion 552j of the ball tank 552 is sent to the upstream side of the ball tank 552 (to the right in FIG. 103) due to the inclination of the guide surface portion 552j. As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B on the guide surface portion 552j from pressing the game ball B in the ball tank 552 in the downstream direction, and clogging of the game ball B occurs in the ball tank 552. can be prevented.

In addition, the game ball B supplied from the island facility to the ball tank 552 bounces on the ball tank 552 and the overflow surface portion 501m, and rides on the left step portion 501n and the right step portion 501o on both left and right sides of the overflow surface portion 501m. Also, as shown in FIG. 103, these inclinations can guide the game ball B to the overflow surface portion 501m and the bypass passage 552g, and the game ball B spills outside the main body frame 4, causing a problem. can be prevented.

In addition, when the game ball B flows from the ball tank 552 to the tank rail 553 side, the game ball B passes under the guide surface portion 552j, so that the game balls are piled up on the tank rail 553 by the guide surface portion 552j. The amount (height) of B can be regulated so as not to be higher than the lower surface of the guide surface portion 552j. Therefore, on the downstream side of the ball tank 552 (guide surface portion 552j) in the tank rail 553, that is, on the rear end side of the detour passage 552g, a space (empty) capable of stacking the game balls B upward can be secured. , the game ball B guided by the detour passage 552g can be reliably received.

Furthermore, since the plurality of wire connection terminals 558a and the terminal cover 551k are arranged in front of the part 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 is not received 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.

[4-12. Another embodiment such as a tank rail]

Fig. 108(a) is an exploded perspective view of the tank rail and the like in Fig. 107 and viewed from the front, and Fig. 108(b) is an exploded perspective view of the tank rail and the like in Fig. 107 and viewed from the rear. FIG. 109 is a sectional view of the tank rail and the like taken along the carka line in FIG. 107(a). FIG. 110 is an explanatory diagram showing the flow of game balls in the tank rail of FIG. 107 in cross section. In addition to the tank rail 553A, the tank rail 553A and the like of an embodiment different from the above include a first rail cover 554A, a second rail cover 555A, and a ball straightening member 556A. It is different from the first rail cover 554, the second rail cover 555, and the ball rectifying member 556, and the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations.

The tank rail 553A of this embodiment rectifies the game balls B stored in the ball tank 552 and delivers them to the ball guidance unit 570 of the payout unit 560 . The tank rail 553A extends leftward in a groove shape that opens upward. The tank rail 553A has a first rail cover 554A so as to close the upper end side, a second rail cover 555A provided on the left side of the first rail cover 554A in front view, and a A ball straightening member 556A provided is attached, and a ball stop member 557 capable of blocking the circulation of game balls B is attached to the downstream end of the tank rail 553A.

As shown in FIG. 107(a) and the like, the tank rail 553A has a meandering portion 553c meandering in the front-rear direction downstream of the bulging portion 553b. The circulation speed of the game ball B can be suppressed by the meandering portion 553c. The first rail cover 554A is attached upstream (on the ball tank 552 side) of the meandering portion 553c.

The second rail cover 555A extends in the left-right direction so as to cover the open upper end of the tank rail 553A from the first rail cover 554A to the downstream end (left end in front view) including the meandering portion 553c. The second rail cover 555A includes a plate-shaped cover portion 555a that closes the upper end of the tank rail 553A; and an opening 555c penetrating through the cover portion 555a between the pair of protective walls 555b. The pair of protective walls 555b are formed in a meandering shape following the meandering portion 553c at the portion where the meandering portion 553c of the tank rail 553A is provided. Straightening pieces 556a of a ball straightening member 556A, which will be described later, are inserted through the openings 555c from above.

The ball rectifying member 556A extends back and forth at its upstream end side and is attached rotatably around an axis. The ball straightening member 556A is provided above the cover portion 555a of the second rail cover 555A and between the pair of protective walls 555b, penetrates the opening 555c of the second rail cover 555A, and protrudes into the tank rail 553A. It has flat plate-like rectifying pieces 556a. The ball rectifying member 556A abuts on the game balls B stacked in a plurality of stages in the tank rail 553A from above, thereby breaking down the stages of the game balls B and making it easier to line them up in a row. The game ball B is restrained from moving rapidly to the downstream side, thereby preventing the occurrence of ball biting on the downstream side of the tank rail 553A.

According to the tank rail 553A and the like of this embodiment, in the assembled state, the ball straightening member 556A is positioned below the upper end of the protective wall 555b between the pair of protective walls 555b in the second rail cover 555A. ing. As a result, the electric wire (indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 106) connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a of the external terminal plate 558 provided on the front upper side of the portion of the tank rail 553A to which the ball rectifying member 556A is attached is It is possible to prevent contact with the ball rectifying member 556A from above. By the way, when the wire connected to the wire connection terminal 558a contacts the ball rectifying member 556A from above, the weight of the wire causes the game ball B to contact the rectifying piece 556a of the ball rectifying member 556A. may not be able to rotate upward, and there is a risk that the rectifying action of the game ball B by the ball rectifying member 556A may not be sufficiently exhibited. In contrast, in this embodiment, the pair of protective walls 555b of the second rail cover 555A can prevent the electric wire connected to the electric wire connection terminal 558a from contacting the ball rectifying member 556A. When the game ball B comes into contact with the rectifying piece 556a of the rectifying member 556A, the ball rectifying member 556A can be rotated upward, and the rectifying action is sufficiently exerted to prevent ball biting and ball bite in the tank rail 553A. The occurrence of clogging can be prevented.

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

In addition, as described above, the protection wall 555b of the second rail cover 555A prevents the electric wire from coming into contact with the ball straightening member 556A, thereby preventing ball clogging. Arranging the terminal board (for example, the external terminal board 558) to which the electric wire is connected or near the control board, or arranging the terminal board or the control board to which many electric wires are connected near the tank rail 553A. Therefore, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with a high degree of freedom in arranging the tank rail 553A (the ball tank 552), the terminal plate, and the like.

The front base 661 is formed in the shape of a box that is open forward and elongated in the left and right direction. The rear base 662 has a flat plate-like partition wall portion 662a that extends left and right at a substantially constant height in the vertical direction, and an out ball passage 663 and a ball extraction guide portion 627 are formed on the front side of the partition wall portion 662a. A ball extraction discharge passage 665 is formed on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a. The rear base 662 is formed in a box shape that is open rearward on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a.

In the base unit 660, a front base 661, a rear base 662, and a passage wall member 666 are made of transparent members. Accordingly, the ball removal guide portion 627, the out ball passage 663, and the ball removal discharge passage 665 are also formed transparent. Therefore, the inside of the ball removal guiding portion 627, the out ball passage 663, and the ball removal discharge passage 665 can be visually recognized well from the upper side or the lower side of the base unit 660, making it easy to check ball clogging or the like. there is

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

The out-ball passage 663 is open upward at a substantially central position in the left-right direction of the pachinko machine 1 and has a ball discharge receiving portion 663a extending left and right, and a game ball B received by the ball discharge receiving portion 663a. Out-ball rectifying portion 663b that rectifies in a row while making it meander in the left-right direction, a downward guiding portion 663c that guides downward the game balls B rectified in a row by the out-ball rectifying portion 663b, and the lower end of the downward guiding portion 663c. It has an out ball discharge port 663d which is open downward and discharges the game ball B downward from the lower surface of the base unit 660. - 特許庁An out-ball discharge port 663d of the out-ball passage 663 is provided behind the outer frame 2 (see FIG. 116).

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

The out-ball rectifying portion 663b is inclined at a gentle angle from a position to the right of the right end of the ball discharge receiving portion 663a toward the lower side of the ball discharge receiving portion 663a so that the left end side becomes lower. In addition, the out-ball straightening portion 663b has a depth in the front-rear direction that narrows toward the downstream side (leftward), and is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball B in the vicinity of the downstream end below the ball discharge receiving portion 663a. It has depth. In addition, the portion of the out ball rectifying portion 663b that is left of the right end of the ball discharge receiving portion 663a has a lower vertical height as it goes downstream (leftward), and near the downstream end, the game ball B The height is slightly larger than the diameter. Thereby, the game balls B can be aligned in a row in the out-ball straightening section 663b.

The downward guide portion 663c extends downward from the downstream end of the out ball straightening portion 663b below the ball discharge receiving portion 663a. It is bent backward in a small crank shape so that it becomes like this. Thereby, the downstream end (out ball discharge port 663 d ) of the downward guide portion 663 c is located behind the front surface of the partition wall portion 662 a of the rear base 662 . An out-sensor 664 is provided upstream of the cranked portion of the downward guiding portion 663c. The downward guide portion 663c is bent in a crank shape and is formed in a curved shape so as not to have a portion extending in the horizontal direction. Even if the game ball B comes into contact with the part where the game ball B is located, it does not jump upward to the out sensor 664 side, and it is possible to prevent one game ball B from being detected twice by the out sensor 664 .

The out sensor 664 uses a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch with high durability and long life because the game ball B frequently passes through it.

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

The ball extraction discharge passage 665 is formed on the rear side of the partition wall portion 662a in the rear base 662. As shown in FIG. The ball discharge passage 665 is formed in the rear base 662 while being open rearward, and the rear end side is closed by a passage wall member 666 . The rear end of the ball discharge passage 665 is located forward of the rear end of the rear base 662 by about one outer diameter of the game ball B. In other words, between the ball discharge path 665 and the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the rear base 662, a gap corresponding to one game ball B or more is formed.

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

The ball removal passage 665 has a plurality of projections 665d alternately protruding inward at regular intervals in the vertical direction on the left and right inner walls of the vertical guiding portion 665b. In the ball discharge passage 665, a game ball B flowing through a vertical guiding portion 665b extending vertically downward contacts with a plurality of projections 665d alternately, thereby causing the game ball B to flow down in a zigzag manner and flow. An increase in speed can be suppressed, and the speed of the game ball B ejected downward from the ball ejection port 665c can be suppressed.

Since this ball discharge passage 665 is a simple L-shaped passage formed by the horizontal guiding portion 665a and the vertical guiding portion 665b, when the game ball B in the ball tank 552 is discharged by operating the ball removing lever 593, , a large number of game balls B can be smoothly guided and discharged.

According to the board unit 620A of this embodiment, the game ball B that has been struck into the game area 5a and discharged from the game board 5 is received by the ball discharge receiving portion 663a of the out ball passage 663, and then the out sensor 664 is detected and discharged to the island facility side of the game hall. On the other hand, in order to discharge (remove) the game ball B in the ball tank 552 or the like, the ball discharge lever 593 of the payout device 580 is operated to move the game ball B discharged to the ball discharge passage 580b side to the out ball passage 663. The ball is discharged to the island facility side of the game hall through the ball removal guidance part 627 and the ball removal discharge passage 665 which are separated and independent. As a result, only the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be detected by the out sensor 664 provided in the out ball passage 663, so that only the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 can be accurately detected. can be counted. Therefore, based on the number of game balls B (safe balls) counted by the payout detection sensor 591 of the payout device 580 and the number of game balls B (out balls) counted by the out sensor 664, the number of game balls B can be accurately counted. The pachinko machine 1 can calculate the payout rate (ball payout rate).

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

In addition, since the payout rate (ball payout rate) changes according to the gaming state, the payout rate within a predetermined period (for example, per unit time, per predetermined time, per day, etc.) is defined as "payout within a predetermined period number/number of out-balls in a predetermined period=payout rate in a predetermined period".

Further, according to the present embodiment, the substrate unit 620A of the main body frame 4 to which the game board 5 is detachably attached is provided with the out ball passage 663 through which the game balls B discharged from the game board 5 flow. The game ball B flowing through the passage 663 is detected by the out sensor 664, and the game ball B ejected from the game board 5 can be detected, so the "out ball" on the game board 5 is detected. There is no need to provide an out-ball detection unit, the configuration of the game board 5 can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

Furthermore, according to this embodiment, between the rear end of the ball extraction and discharge passage 665 and the power supply board 630 of the power supply unit 620c attached to the rear side of the rear base 662, a gap larger than the outer diameter of the game ball B is provided. , the out-ball passage 663 and the ball discharge passage 665 are kept away from the power supply board 630 and the payout control board 633, etc., and the out-ball passage 663 and the ball discharge passage 665 are used by many game balls B The pachinko machine 1 can reduce the influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc. due to the static electricity, the induced current, etc. generated by the circulation of the game balls B, and the malfunction caused by the circulation of the game balls B is reduced. can be

Further, according to the present embodiment, since the out sensor 664 detects the game ball B whose circulation speed is suppressed by the out ball straightening section 663b of the out ball passage 663, Since the impact applied to the out-sensor 664 can be weakened, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the out-sensor 664 is quickly worn out and damaged.

Furthermore, when the payout rate (ball payout rate) per predetermined time calculated from the number of safe balls per predetermined time and the number of out balls per predetermined time is displayed so as to be visible from the player side, Since the player desires to pay out a large number of game balls B, if the displayed payout rate is high, the player can immediately recognize that the pachinko machine 1 is likely to pay out a large number of game balls B. The pachinko machine 1 to be played can be easily selected. In addition, when the payout rate is displayed so that it can be visually recognized from the player side, if a fraudulent act such as paying out a large number of game balls B is performed, the displayed payout rate will be larger than usual. The pachinko machine 1 having high deterrence against the fraudulent act can be made to hesitate to execute the fraudulent act because other players and staff members of the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can easily notice the fraudulent act. can be

In addition, if the payout rate calculated from the number of safe balls and the number of out balls is displayed at a position that is invisible to the player, the staff at the game hall can see it for the same reason as above. can detect fraudulent activity. In addition, when performing maintenance on the pachinko machine 1, if the displayed payout rate is different from the normal value, it is possible to change the inside of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, the obstacle nail N, the main control board 1310, the payout control board 633, the relay board, connector, wiring cable, various sensors, etc.), it is possible to deal with the problem early, and the burden on the game hall side can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the out ball passage 663 through which the game ball B discharged from the game board 5 flows is provided with the out sensor 664, a configuration for detecting the game ball B discharged to the game board 5 (for example, To reduce the cost of a game board 5 without providing an out-ball detection unit, and to secure a space in the game board 5 for the configuration for detecting the discharged game balls B.例文帳に追加By installing the performance device in the secured space, the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) can entertain the players more.

In addition, since the ball extraction and discharge passage 665 has a vertical guide portion 665b in which a plurality of protrusions 665d protrude alternately, the game ball B circulates through the vertical guide portion 665b. Since the speed can be suppressed, damage in the ball discharge passage 665 due to the impact of the circulating game ball B, damage to the island facility side of the game hall that receives the game ball B discharged from the ball discharge passage 665, etc. can be prevented.

In addition, the out-ball passage 663 is provided with a meandering out-ball rectifying portion 663b, and the ball extraction and discharge passage 665 is provided with a vertical guiding portion 665b having a plurality of projecting projections 665d. Since it is possible to suppress the circulation speed of the ball, it is possible to reduce the electrical noise emitted from the game ball B that circulates in the out ball passage 663 and the ball removal discharge passage 665. It is possible to reduce the influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc., and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the circulation of the game balls B.

Further, since the out ball discharge port 663d and the ball discharge port 665c of the out ball passage 663 and the ball discharge passage 665 are opened downward, the out ball passage 663 and the ball discharge passage Since the game ball B is discharged downward from 665, the game ball B is less likely to collide with other pachinko machines or walls provided behind the pachinko machine 1 in the island facility, and other pachinko machines. It is possible to avoid damage to the machine, walls, etc. In addition, since the game ball B is discharged downward from the out ball passage 663 and the ball discharge passage 665, the discharged game ball B is less likely to scatter, and from the out ball passage 663 and the ball discharge passage 665 on the island facility side Collection of discharged game balls B can be facilitated.

Furthermore, since the base unit 660 in which the ball discharge passage 665 and the out ball passage 663 are formed is provided below the portion of the main body frame 4 to which the game board 5 is attached, the game board 5 can be Only by ejecting the game ball B struck into the area 5a downward, it can be delivered to the out ball passage 663 of the base unit 660, so the configuration for ejecting the game ball B on the game board 5 , the configuration can be simple (simple), and the cost of the game board 5 can be reduced.

In addition, since the ball discharge port 665c of the ball discharge passage 665 and the out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663 are provided behind the outer frame 2, the ball discharge passage 665 and the out ball passage 663 Since it is possible to prevent the discharged game ball B from colliding with the outer frame 2, the game ball B vigorously flowing through the ball discharge passage 665 and the out ball passage 663 collides with the outer frame 2. It is possible to prevent the outer frame 2 from being damaged and to provide the pachinko machine 1 which is hard to be damaged.

In addition, since the ball discharge port 665c of the ball discharge passage 665 and the out ball discharge port 663d of the out ball passage 663 are provided behind the outer frame 2, the part ( An out receiving part, a bucket, etc.) need not be advanced to a position superimposed on the outer frame 2, and labor for installing the pachinko machine 1 and labor for moving the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

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

Further, according to the embodiment shown in FIG. Even if it is provided at a position close to directly below the game area 5a of the attached game board 5 (a position close to the front side in the island facility), the game ball B can be reliably received by a bucket or the like in the island facility. Therefore, since the out-ball passage 663 (out-ball discharge port 663d) can be arranged as far forward as possible, the space behind the out-ball passage 663 in the body frame 4 can be widened. Therefore, by moving the out-ball passage 663 away from the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633, etc., a large number of game balls B circulate through the out-ball passage 663. The influence on the power supply board 630, the payout control board 633 and the like can be reduced, and the pachinko machine 1 with less malfunction due to the circulation of the game balls B can be provided.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 118, an out-ball sensor 664 can be attached to and detached from below at a portion of an out-ball discharge port 663d in the out-ball passage 663.

As shown in FIG. Also in this embodiment, the base unit 660 is formed of a transparent member, and the inside of the out-ball passage 663 can be visually recognized from above or below the base unit 660 .

The sensor cover 668 has a body portion 668a that extends longer than the sensor mounting recess 663f and is rotatably mounted on the base unit 660 at the base end side, and detects the out sensor 664 that is housed in the sensor mounting recess 663f in the body portion 668a. A through hole 668b through which the game ball B can pass through at a portion corresponding to the hole, and an elastically deformable locking claw portion 668c provided on the opposite side of the base end side of the main body portion 668a. have.

The base end of the sensor cover 668 is rotatably attached to the sensor mounting recess 663f of the base unit 660 on the outside of the sensor mounting recess 663f opposite to the out-ball rectifying portion 663b. An engaging claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668 is engaged with an engaging portion 663g provided outside the sensor mounting recess 663f of the base unit 660 on the out-ball straightening portion 663b side.

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

When replacing (removing) the out-sensor 664, by operating the locking claw portion 668c of the sensor cover 668, the locking claw portion 668c is elastically deformed to release the locking with the locking portion 663g. Then, the sensor cover 668 is rotated around the base end side of the main body 668a to open so that the locking claw 668c moves downward. , and the out sensor 664 can be removed from the sensor mounting recess 663f (see FIG. 118(b)).

Therefore, when the game balls B are jammed in the out-ball passage 663, the inside of the out-ball passage 663 can be visually recognized from the outside, so that the place where the game balls B are jammed can be specified at a glance. It is possible to eliminate the clogging of the game balls B at an early stage.

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

Further, according to the present embodiment, even if the out-sensor 664 is damaged, the out-sensor 664 can be easily replaced. Thus, it is possible to alleviate the player's frustration due to the interruption of the game, suppress the decline in interest, suppress the decrease in the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1, and reduce the burden on the game hall side. can.

Furthermore, since one end of the sensor cover 668 is rotatably attached to the base unit 660, even if the sensor cover 668 is opened when replacing the out-sensor 664, the sensor cover 668 will not be removed from the base unit 660. Since the sensor cover 668 is in a suspended state and does not fall off, loss of the sensor cover 668 can be avoided.

In addition, in the sensor cover 668 that holds the out sensor 664 from below, at the outer portion near the out ball passage 663 in which many game balls B in the base unit 660 circulate, around the axis in the front-back direction (horizontal direction) Since it is rotatably attached to the base unit 660, the downward force distribution applied to the sensor cover 668 via the out sensor 664 due to the circulation of the game ball B is rotatably attached to the base unit 660 (one side). ), and relatively small on the locking claw portion 668c side (the other end side) locked to the locking portion 663g of the base unit 660. Therefore, even if a downward force is applied to the sensor cover 668 through the out sensor 664 by many game balls B passing through the out sensor 664, one end side rotatably attached to the sensor cover 668 Since the sensor cover 668 is opened, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the sensor cover 668 is opened and the out sensor 664 is dropped. .

The setting key switch 1311a, the setting switching button 1311b, and the setting display 1310g will be briefly described. Here, first, the case of changing setting values will be briefly described, and the case of displaying the current setting values for confirmation will be briefly described. In addition, since the setting key is an important key that can be used not only to change the setting value but also to check the current setting value, etc., only a limited number of people, including the manager of the game hall, can possess it. Permitted and limited to 2-3 people.

When changing the settings of the set values, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily), the body frame is changed to the outer frame 2. 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. The "predetermined setting value change permitting condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned on must be established. In other words, the person who actually changes the setting value must first confirm that the power of the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off), and then check the outer frame 2. After the main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a and turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. The power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on by turning on the key switch 1311a. As the above-described "predetermined setting value change permission condition", it is also possible to set a condition that an operation signal is input by operating the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f. That is, when power is restored to the pachinko machine 1 or when power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure), the main body frame 4 is opened relative to the outer frame 2, and the setting key switch 1311a is activated. The setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation, thereby turning the setting key switch 1311a on. The setting value may be changed when the "predetermined setting value change permission condition" that the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is operated is satisfied.

A person who changes the setting values must first confirm that the power of the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off), and then attach the main body frame 4 to the outer frame 2. After performing the opening operation, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. The key switch 1311a is set to ON. Subsequently, the pachinko machine 1 is powered on by operating the power switch 630a shown in FIG. As a result, a setting key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 . The main control MPU 1310a controls the current setting values stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (setting values 1 to 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON for the first time). (set value) is displayed on the setting indicator 1310g, and the setting change permission lamp 1311c is switched from the off state to the on state.

When a person who changes the setting value presses the pressing operation part of the setting change button 1311b, the detection signal from the setting change button 1311b of the setting change board 1311 is transmitted from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. is input to Every time a person who changes the setting of the setting value presses the pressing operation portion of the setting switching button 1311b, the main control MPU 1310a changes the current setting value based on the detection signal from the setting switching button 1311b of the setting change board 1311. When it reaches the maximum set value of 6, it returns to the initial set value of 1, increases again by 1, and controls to display the set value on the setting display 1310g.

When the setting value is to be determined, the person who changes the setting value rotates the setting key cylinder counterclockwise by 120 degrees (that is, turns the setting key switch 1311a ON. The cylinder is rotated 60 degrees counterclockwise so as to return from the rotational position of the cylinder to the initial position (i.e., the rotational position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a), and then turned off. The setting key switch 1311a is turned on by rotating it counterclockwise by 60 degrees and performing the second ON operation. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 . As a result, the main control MPU 1310a stores the setting value determined by changing the setting in a specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a.

The setting key cylinder is rotated counterclockwise by 120 degrees (that is, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on from the setting key cylinder rotation position to the initial position (that is, setting key 1311a). When the switch 1311a is returned to the turning position of the setting key cylinder to turn it off, a decision key ON signal may be input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. In this case, After the setting value is displayed on the setting display 1310g by pressing the pressing operation portion of the setting switching button 1311b, the setting value is determined simply by turning off the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key is removed from the setting key cylinder. and workability is improved.

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

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

When confirming and displaying the currently set setting value, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily), the outer frame 2 The main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the insertion opening of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to turn the first ON. It is necessary to satisfy the "predetermined set value display permission condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by being operated. In other words, the person who actually confirms and displays the set values that are currently set must first confirm that the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (state that the power has been restored after a power outage or momentary power failure). Then, the main body frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2, and then the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion opening of the setting key switch 1311a and rotated 60 degrees clockwise to open the first key. is turned on, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on.

A person who confirms and displays the currently set setting values must first confirm that the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (state that power has been restored after a power failure or momentary power failure), and then confirm that the power is restored. Then, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a and turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. Thus, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. This setting key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 . The main control MPU 1310a controls the current setting values stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (setting values 1 to 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON for the first time). of which, the set value) is displayed on the setting display 1310g. At this time, the state where the setting change permission lamp 1311c is extinguished is maintained. Correspondingly, the setting value is not changed at all, nor is the content displayed on the setting display 1310g.

When the person who confirms and displays the currently set set values completes the confirmation of the currently set set values, the setting key switch 1311a is moved from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key is turned ON to the original position (that is, The setting key switch 1311a is rotated counterclockwise by 60 degrees so as to return to the turning position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a, and is turned off. This setting key OFF signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 .

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

A person who confirms and displays the set value currently set pulls out the setting key from the insertion opening of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, closes the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2, and displays the current setting. Complete the task of confirming the setting value displayed.

As described above, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is the power supply when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily). When power is restored during recovery, the body frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise. While it is necessary that the setting key is turned ON by being rotated by 60 degrees and the first ON operation is performed, the predetermined setting value display permission condition is the pachinko machine as described above. 1 is turned on or after power is restored after a power failure (an instantaneous power failure), the body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key switch 1311a is set. The setting key must be turned ON by inserting the setting key into the insertion port of the key cylinder and rotating the setting key cylinder clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. Thus, the predetermined set value change permission condition and the predetermined set value display permission condition are that the body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key cylinder insertion opening of the setting key switch 1311a is opened. , the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees, and the first ON operation is performed to turn the setting key ON. The setting value change permission condition requires "at the time of power recovery", whereas the predetermined setting value display permission condition requires "after power recovery".

Here, to briefly explain the set value, the "set value" is the probability for lottery determination whether it is a big hit or a small hit or not, in addition to the probability It is possible to change the probability of lottery determination when transitioning to time, the allocation rate to areas that are advantageous to the player, etc. The probability (the degree of advantage) of increasing the number of game balls B that can be played is set in advance. In the present embodiment, set value 1, set value 2, set value 3, set value 4, set value 5, and set value 6 are prepared in advance as set values. A probability (advantage degree) of being advantageous to the player is set in advance. The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 has various tables used in various lottery determinations associated with the set values (for example, a big hit determination table that defines the ratio of the big hit determination value indicating that the big win has been won, A big hit pattern determination table that defines the ratio of the determination value of the decision, a small hit determination table that defines the ratio of the small hit determination value indicating that the small win has been won, and a ratio of the determination value of the determination value of the small hit pattern Select a small hit pattern determination table, a normal transition determination table that defines the ratio of the determination value of the transition determination from the probability variation to the normal time, etc.), or use various distribution rates associated with the set value Various tables (for example, a sorting table that defines a sorting time, a block that manages driving of an electric drive source such as a motor or a solenoid, etc.) is selected. In various tables used in various lottery determinations associated with set values, various determination values are allocated at predetermined ratios. Various tables used in various lottery determinations are set so that at least some values differ from each other, and various tables used for various sorting rates are set so that at least some values differ from each other. The value may differ based on the relationship between the table corresponding to the block managing the drive of one electric drive source and the table corresponding to the block managing the drive of another electric drive source. Some are set to Also, as the set values described above, six set values (integers) ranging from set value 1 to set value 6 were used, but values in a smaller range may be used, and values in a larger range may be used. can be anything. For example, four setting values (integers) ranging from setting value 1 to setting value 4 may be used, or eight setting values (integer) ranging from setting value 1 to setting value 8 may be used.

As described above, the setting display 1310g not only displays the set values, but also checks the contents of the internal RAM when the main control MPU 1310a restores power to determine whether or not there is an abnormality. If it is determined that there is an abnormality, and if the main control side power-off processing has not ended normally when the power is turned off, there is an abnormality in the contents stored in the internal RAM (or it is unreliable). is not possible), an error is displayed to that effect. In this embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

Next, the base monitor 1310h will be briefly described. The base monitor 1310h collects game balls B shot into the game area 5a through an out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a defined on the game board 5. The number of game balls B that have been played is displayed. Out of the game balls B launched into the game area 5a, the game balls B collected by the out port 1008 are detected by the out sensor 664 (see FIG. 169, etc.), and this detection signal is transmitted through the panel relay board 1710. It is input to the main control MPU 1310a.

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

This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but the setting key switch 1311a is set from the initial position. The setting key switch 1311a' may be rotatable only within the range up to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder whose key is turned ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a' is turned counterclockwise so as to return from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF) which is the original position. By rotating the setting key switch 1311a' by 60 degrees toward the direction and turning it off, the setting key switch 1311a' can be turned on for the decision key. (the mode of the setting key switch 1311a' may be described as "determination key modification (1)").

A switch with a different shape of the part may be adopted, or a switch of a different type that does not have a depressing operation part may be adopted as the enter key button. Other types of switches that do not have a pressing operation portion as the enter key button include, for example, a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide portion, a rotary switch having a rotary operation portion, a rocker switch, and a touch switch. Switches can be mentioned.

A signal may be branched at the payout control board 633 and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633, and whether or not the enter key is ON may be determined based on these detection signals. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the palm or fingers are in contact with the handle 195 based on the detection signal from the handle touch sensor 192. When it is not touched, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON, and/or when the launch of the game ball B is forcibly stopped based on the detection signal from the single-shot button operation sensor 194, the decision key is ON. On the other hand, when the launch of the game ball B is not forcibly stopped, it can be determined that the enter key is not ON. good.) may be described as "determination key modification (3)").

A firing reference pulse is branched in the payout control board 633 from the firing timing control circuit provided in 633b and is input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. Based on these firing reference pulses, the determination key is selected. The presence or absence of ON may be determined. The launch reference pulse is a reference pulse that allows 100 game balls B to be launched toward the game area 5a per minute, and is generated based on the clock signal from the oscillation circuit. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the decision key is ON when the firing reference pulse is input from the payout control board 633, while determining that the decision key is not ON when the firing reference pulse is not input.

The light emitted by the light emitting part of the distance measuring sensor passes through the transparent glass plate 162 of the glass unit 160 in the door frame 3 and is reflected by the player's arm or hand within a predetermined distance dimension. The reflected light passes through the transparent glass plate 162 again and is received by the light-receiving section, thereby detecting the action of the player. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a receives a detection signal from the distance measuring sensor through the relay board, and determines whether or not there is an action based on this detection signal.

In the control board 633, they are formed so as not to come close to each other (at a distance from each other), and the connection to the terminal of the connector of the payout control board 633 (the terminal of the connector of the main control board 1310) is also formed at a distance, Also in the main control board 1310, the wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the enter key button and the wiring pattern for transmitting the detection signal from the error canceling switch should not come close to each other (separately from each other). ) is formed. Further, when the determination key button is provided on the payout control board 633, the setting key switch 1311a can be rotated only in the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. (The form of the enter key button (which may include the form of the set key switch 1311a') may be referred to as "variation (9) of the enter key").

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the payout control board 633 has a pressing operation part A signal from the error release switch is branched in the payout control board 633 and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633, and based on this signal, it is determined whether or not the decision key is ON. good too. As described above, the error release switch is for releasing the error displayed on the error LED display. When the pachinko machine 1 is in a state where the time processing is completed and an interrupt processing is being performed), and no error has occurred as the state of the pachinko machine 1, the pressing operation portion of the error release switch is not operated at all. Therefore, the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the enter key is ON when the pressing operation portion of the error canceling switch is operated based on the signal from the error canceling switch, while the main control MPU 1310a can determine that the enter key is ON based on the signal from the error canceling switch. Therefore, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON when the depression operation portion of the error canceling switch is not operated. As a result, the security can be improved regardless of whether or not the enter key is ON (the mode of the error release switch may be described as "determination key modification (10)").

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the payout control board 633 has a pressing operation part The payout control MPU of the payout control board 633 monitors the logic of the signal from the error cancellation switch in the port input process of the payout control unit power-on processing described later, and creates a command, and the payout control unit power-on processing described later. A command created in the command transmission process may be transmitted to the main control board 1310, and the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 receiving this command may determine whether or not the enter key is ON. As described above, the error release switch is for releasing the error displayed on the error LED display. When the pachinko machine 1 is in a state where the time processing is completed and an interrupt processing is being performed), and no error has occurred as the state of the pachinko machine 1, the pressing operation portion of the error release switch is not operated at all. Therefore, in the main control MPU 1310a, in frame command reception processing in the main control timer interrupt processing described later, the payout control MPU determines that the pressing operation unit is being operated based on the signal from the error cancellation switch, and notifies that effect. When the command is received, it can be determined that the enter key is ON, while the payout control MPU determines that the pressing operation unit is not operated based on the signal from the error release switch, and receives the command to notify that effect. When the button is pressed, it can be determined that the enter key is not ON. This makes it possible to improve the security regardless of whether the enter key is ON (the mode 2 of the error release switch may be referred to as "the enter key modification (11)").

In the above-described embodiment, the RAM clear switch 1310f is provided on the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a is moved from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key switch). 1311a is rotated counterclockwise 60 degrees to return to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder for turning off 1311a to turn it off, and further rotated counterclockwise 60 degrees to perform a second ON operation. By doing so, the setting key switch 1311a can be turned on for the decision key, and this decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. Instead, the RAM clear switch 1310f is provided in the payout control board 633, and the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f is input to the payout control MPU of the payout control board 633, and is branched in the payout control board 633 to pay out.

As will be described later, the RAM clear switch 1310f is activated when the depressing operation part is operated at the time of power restoration (more precisely, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while depressing the depressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f). ), when performing a setting change that can change and determine the setting value (when the main control MPU 1310a performs a setting change process to be described later), the main control MPU 1310a stores a predetermined area of its own built-in RAM (RAM excluding specific areas) must be cleared. Therefore, since the main control MPU 1310a always clears the predetermined area of the built-in RAM by turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the RAM clear switch 1310f can be diverted as a determination key, and the main control MPU 1310a is based on an operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f provided on the payout control board 633. When the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed, the determination key ON On the other hand, based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f provided on the payout control board 633, when the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not pressed, it is determined that the determination key is not ON. can be done. As a result, security can be improved with respect to the presence or absence of the enter key ON.

In order to prevent a wire or the like from entering through the "gap" formed in the portion and the corresponding opening to modify the payout control board 633, the wire penetration preventing portion is provided with the cover body for the opening. It becomes a structure that is molded into

On the cover of the payout control board 633, there are stickers printed with the names of the respective buttons at positions corresponding to the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error release switch so that the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error release switch are not confused. (Instead of this sticker, the name of each button may be molded on the cover). Also, in order to avoid confusion between the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error cancel switch, a button with a cover that covers the depressing operation part of either the RAM clear switch 1310f or the error cancel switch (for depressing the depressing operation part) The cover needs to be opened at the same time.), the color of the pressing operation part may be different, and the external shape or pressing operation of the RAM clear switch 1310f and the error canceling switch may be changed. A switch having a different shape may be employed, and a switch of a different type that does not have a pressing operation part may be employed as the RAM clear switch 1310f. Other types of switches that do not have a pressing operation portion as the RAM clear switch 1310f include, for example, a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide portion, a rotary switch having a rotary operation portion, a rocker switch, and a touch switch.

Also, in the main control board 1310, the wiring pattern to which the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f is transmitted and the wiring pattern to which the detection signal from the error cancellation switch is transmitted should not be brought close to each other (mutually spaced apart). Further, when the RAM clear switch 1310f is provided on the payout control board 633, the setting key switch 1311a must be rotated only within the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON. (The mode of the RAM clear switch (the mode of the setting key switch 1311a' may also be included.) may be described as "determination key modification (12)").

Instead, the RAM clear switch 1310f is provided on the payout control board 633, and the logic of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f is input to the payout control MPU of the payout control board 633. A command is created by monitoring in the process, and the command created in the command transmission process of the payout control unit power-on process described later is sent to the main control board 1310, and the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 that receives this command It may be determined whether or not the determination key is ON. As will be described later, the RAM clear switch 1310f is activated when the depressing operation part is operated at the time of power restoration (more precisely, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while depressing the depressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f). ), when performing a setting change that can change and determine the setting value (when the main control MPU 1310a performs a setting change process to be described later), the main control MPU 1310a stores a predetermined area of its own built-in RAM (RAM excluding specific areas) must be cleared. Therefore, since the main control MPU 1310a always clears the predetermined area of the built-in RAM by turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the RAM clear switch 1310f can be diverted as a determination key, and the main control MPU 1310a can use the RAM clear switch 1310f based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f provided in the payout control board 633 in the frame command reception process in the main control timer interrupt process described later. When the payout control MPU determines that the depressing operation unit is being operated and receives a command to that effect, it can determine that the decision key is ON. When the payout control MPU determines that the depressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not operated based on the operation signal of , and receives a command to that effect, it can be determined that the decision key is not ON. As a result, it is possible to improve the security against whether or not the Enter key is ON (RAM clear switch mode 2 (the mode of the setting key switch 1311a' may be included) as "Modified example (13) of the Enter key"). ”).

If not, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in a range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (setting key switch 1311a'). mode 2 (which may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (19)").

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. An enter key button may be provided. In this case, the push operation portion of the enter key button is exposed through an opening formed in the cover body of main control board box 1320 corresponding to the enter key button.

Other types of switches that do not have a pressing operation portion as the enter key button include, for example, a toggle switch having a lever, a slide switch having a slide portion, a rotary switch having a rotary operation portion, a rocker switch, and a touch switch. Switches can be mentioned. Also, when the enter key button and the RAM clear switch 1310f are provided on the main control board 1310, the wiring pattern for the enter key button and the wiring pattern for the RAM clear switch 1310f should be routed in order to prevent unauthorized modification. are formed so as not to come close to each other on the main control board 1310 (spaced apart from each other). Further, when the enter key button is provided on the main control board 1310, the setting key switch 1311a can be rotated only in the range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. A setting key switch 1311a' can be used (the mode 2 of the Enter key button (the mode of the setting key switch 1311a' may be included) may be described as "Modified example (20) of the Enter key").

Therefore, since the main control MPU 1310a always clears the predetermined area of the built-in RAM by turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the RAM clear switch 1310f can be used as the determination key, and the main control MPU 1310a determines that the determination key is ON when the depressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f. On the other hand, based on the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f provided on the payout control board 633, it can be determined that the determination key is not ON when the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not pressed.

In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON (RAM clear switch). mode 3 (which may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (21)"). It should be noted that the period during which the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed is limited to when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, and the operation signal from the RAM clear switch 1310f is applied to the payout control board 633, as will be described later. Since it is input to the payout control MPU, the payout control board 633 does not need an error canceling switch when the RAM clear switch 1310f is configured to also function as an error canceling switch, which will be described later.

This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. Gate sensor 2801, various sensors of various winning openings (for example, second starting opening sensor 2401, big winning opening sensor 2402, accessory winning opening sensor 2601, general winning opening sensor 3001, first starting opening sensor 3002), body frame 4 The main control MPU 1310a to which detection signals from the out sensor 664 are input may determine whether or not the Enter key is ON based on these detection signals. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in a range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON (various sensors, etc.). mode (which may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (22)"). In this case, the person who changes the set value opens the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 to turn on the decision key, sends the game ball B into the gate 2003, or enters various winning ports. It is necessary to send the game ball B to or send the game ball B to the out port 1008 .

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. It controls the operation of the movable body (accessory) by controlling the drive of the electrical drive source such as the solenoid, and the movable body (accessory) based on the detection signal from the optical sensor (photo sensor, distance measurement sensor, etc.) When determining the original position, the operating position, etc., the main control MPU 1310a may determine whether or not the enter key is ON based on the detection signal from this optical sensor. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in a range from the initial position to the rotational position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON (optical function). The aspect of the object sensor (which may include the aspect of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (23)"). In this case, the person who changes the set value must open the door frame 3 with respect to the body frame 4 so that the optical sensor detects the original position of the movable body (accessory) in order to turn on the enter key. It is necessary to move the movable body (accessory) so as to detect the operating position, etc.

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, an illegal magnetism in the game area 5a is detected. The main control MPU 1310a to which the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050 is inputted may determine whether or not the enter key is ON based on the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050. FIG. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in a range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (the magnetic sensor's The mode (which may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (24)"). In this case, the person who changes the set value needs to bring the magnet close to the front of the game board 5 from the front of the pachinko machine 1 in order to turn on the enter key.

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, the pachinko machine 1 is shaken or hit. As a result, the pachinko machine 1 is vibrated to change the path of the game ball B flowing down the game area 5a partitioned and formed on the game board 5 to enter various winning openings and gates provided on the game board 5. When the game board 5 is provided with a vibration sensor that detects a fraudulent act of making a ball, the main control MPU 1310a determines the presence or absence of fraudulent activity based on the detection signal from the vibration sensor, and based on the detection signal from the vibration sensor. It may be determined whether or not the determination key is ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON (the vibration sensor may The mode (which may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (25)"). In this case, the person who changes the setting value needs to shake or hit the pachinko machine 1 in order to turn on the decision key.

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal was input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, but instead of this, radio waves are emitted to the pachinko machine 1 to play A game board 5 and a payout device 580 are provided with a radio wave sensor for detecting a fraudulent act of illegally obtaining a game ball B by causing malfunction of various sensors of various winning ports provided on the board 5 and various sensors provided on the payout device 580.例文帳に追加In this case, the main control MPU 1310a may determine the presence or absence of fraudulent activity based on the detection signal from the radio wave sensor, and may determine the presence or absence of the enter key ON based on the detection signal from the radio wave sensor. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned on (the radio wave sensor The mode (which may include the mode of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (26)"). In this case, it is necessary for the person who changes the setting value to irradiate the pachinko machine 1 with radio waves in order to turn on the enter key.

In the above-described embodiment, the setting key switch 1311a is returned from the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). 60 degrees in the counterclockwise direction to turn it off, and further turn it in the counterclockwise direction by 60 degrees to turn it off. This decision key ON signal is input from the setting change board 1311 to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310. A detection signal from the pressure detection sensor 373 that detects the pressing operation of the production operation unit 350 and a detection signal from the contact detection sensor main body 358 that detects the contact of the contact operation unit 302 of the effect operation unit 350 are input to the peripheral control board 1510. It may be branched at the peripheral control board 1510 and input to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, and based on these detection signals, the main control MPU 1310a may determine whether or not the enter key is ON. In this case, the setting key switch 1311a may be a setting key switch 1311a' that can be rotated only in the range from the initial position to the rotation position of the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON (effect operation button The form of the unit (which may include the form of the setting key switch 1311a') may be described as "determination key modification (27)").

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 are accommodated in the internal space of the main control board box 1320 composed of the cover body and the base body. It may be housed in a body setting change board box and placed around or adjacent to the main control board box 1320 . In the main control board box 1320, the cover body and the base body are crimped by a one-way screw or the like of the crimping portion. This caulking part is a sealing mechanism, and has a plurality of them. The main control board box 1320 can be closed by crimping the cover body and the base body with a one-way screw or the like of the crimping part using one sealing mechanism. It is necessary to destroy the sealing mechanism. That is, unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed, the cover cannot be removed from the base. Such a structure of the main control board box 1320 can also be applied to the structure of the setting change board box. In this case, the front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the press operation portion of the enter key button are exposed through openings formed in the cover body of the main control board box 1320 corresponding thereto. It is possible to modify the setting change board 1311 by inserting a wire or the like from the "gap" formed between the front surface of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a and the pressing operation portion of the enter key button and the corresponding opening. In order to prevent this, a structure is adopted in which a wire penetration preventing portion is molded in the cover body with respect to the opening. It should be noted that unlike the structure of the main control board box 1320 described above, the configuration of the setting change board box is such that the cover body can be opened or closed from the base body. A setting change board cover open/close switch capable of detecting opening of the cover may be provided. In this case, the detection signal from the setting change board cover opening/closing switch may be directly input to the main control board 1310, or (indirectly) input to the main control board 1310 via the setting change board 1311. may be configured to be Based on the detection signal from the setting change board cover body open/close switch, the case where the cover body is released from the base body can be included in the predetermined setting value change permission conditions (setting change board box is sometimes referred to as "determination key modification (28)").

In the above-described embodiment, the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311 and the terminal of the connector MSCN of the main control board 1310 are connected to each other. A wiring pattern for transmitting a key ON signal, a wiring pattern for transmitting a decision key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a, a wiring pattern for transmitting an OFF signal for the setting key switch 1311a, and a setting switching button 1311b. The wiring pattern for transmitting the signal from the setting change board 1311 is formed so as not to come close to each other (separated from each other), and the terminals of the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311 (main control The connection to the terminal of the connector MSCN of the substrate 1310 is also formed at a distance. , a wiring pattern to which a decision key ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted, and a wiring pattern to which a setting key switch 1311a OFF signal is transmitted) and a signal from the setting switching button 1311b. was formed so as not to approach each other (separate from each other). 1311a through which the decision key ON signal is transmitted, one of the wiring patterns is connected via another connector provided on the setting change board 1311 separately from the connector SMCN of the setting change board 1311. , connector MSCN of the main control board 1310 and another connector provided on the main control board 1310 separately (connection between boards) may be connected (inter-board connection), and the other connector provided on the setting change board 1311 and the main control board may be connected. It may be electrically connected to another connector provided on the 1310 via a harness (the manner of routing the wiring pattern may be referred to as "determination key modification (29)").

In addition, it is also possible to adopt a mode in which one of the above-described modification examples (1) to (29) of the decision key is appropriately selected and combined (the selected combination mode of the modification example is referred to as "the modification example (30) of the decision key"). ”).

In addition, in the above-mentioned setting value, in addition to the probability for lottery determination whether it is a big hit or not, and the probability for lottery determination whether it is a small hit, for lottery determination when shifting from probability variable time to normal time , the rate of distribution to areas that are advantageous to the player, etc., which is advantageous to the player possible) probability (degree of advantage) is set in advance. In the present embodiment, set value 1, set value 2, set value 3, set value 4, set value 5, and set value 6 are prepared in advance as set values. A probability (advantage degree) of being advantageous to the player is set in advance. By the way, although the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment has a plurality of set values ranging from set value 1 to set value 6, other pachinko machines have a probability (advantage degree) of being advantageous to the player. Some have a single preset value. That is, the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, which has a game specification in which the probability of being advantageous to the player (the degree of advantage) exists as a plurality of set values in advance and requires setting changes, is advantageous to the player. There are game specifications in which only a single set value of the probability (advantage degree) exists in advance and no setting change is required. However, if the hardware configuration of the main control board 1310 is changed according to such game specifications and the hardware configuration of the setting change board 1311 is changed or not used, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 depends on the game specifications, the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 have similar or different hardware configurations depending on the game specifications. Therefore, it is desired that the main control board 1310 and the setting change board 1311 can be used in common without depending on the game specifications, that is, without changing the design of the hardware configuration.

For example, in a game specification in which there is only a single set value in advance for the probability (advantage degree) of being advantageous to the player and there is no need to change the setting, the probability (advantage degree) that the set value is advantageous to the player Since there is no need to use it as a can be done.

For example, after the main control MPU 1310a clears a predetermined area of its built-in RAM (an area excluding a specific area out of all areas of the RAM), it is possible to set a plurality of actual machine confirmation operation patterns (after clearing the RAM It can be used as a setting value that allows variation in the method of starting the pachinko machine 1). In this case, the set value 1 is set to "all operations (movable bodies (role Actual machine confirmation operation pattern 1 that specifies "movement of object (object), lighting of light emitter)" is assigned, and real machine confirmation operation pattern 2 that specifies "movable object (character object) operation" is assigned as setting value 2, and set Actual machine confirmation operation pattern 3 that specifies "illumination of light emitting body" is assigned as value 3, and detailed operation of movable body (character object) (variable movement speed, movement over the entire operation area, other An actual machine confirmation operation pattern 4 that specifies "interference check with structures and other movable bodies (accessories), operation order with other movable bodies (accessories)" is assigned, and the setting value 5 is " Actual machine confirmation operation pattern 5 that specifies "lighting of light emitters per port (lighting of light emitters by predetermined output port units (that is, each output port) of the main control MPU 1310a)" is assigned, and set value 6 is " Actual machine confirmation operation pattern 6 specifying "no operation" is assigned (the mode of change setting of actual machine confirmation operation after RAM clearing may be described as "modification (1) by common hardware configuration"). In addition, the main control MPU 1310a performs the operation of the movable body (accessory) and the lighting of the light emitter such as the lamp and the LED by repeatedly performing the operation of confirming the real machine after clearing the RAM and the main control side timer interrupt processing described later. The peripheral control board 1510, which receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a, controls the movable object to be controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 with the content (actual machine confirmation operation pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. It is possible to perform the operation of (accessory) and lighting of the light emitter. By changing and setting the actual machine confirmation operation after clearing the RAM, it is possible to provide variations in the method of starting the pachinko machine 1 after clearing the RAM.

Also, for example, it can be used as a set value that can set a plurality of times from the end of the pattern fluctuation until the demonstration (demonstration effect performed while waiting for the player). In this case, time setting pattern 1 that specifies "10 seconds" is assigned as setting value 1, time setting pattern 2 that specifies "15 seconds" is assigned as setting value 2, and "20 seconds" is assigned as setting value 3. is assigned, time setting pattern 4 is assigned to specify "25 seconds" as setting value 4, time setting pattern 5 is assigned to specify "30 seconds" as setting value 5, A time setting pattern 6 specifying "35 seconds" is assigned as the set value 6 (the mode of changing the setting of the time from the end of the symbol variation to the player waiting state is set as "Modified example by common hardware configuration (2 )”). The peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a can start the demonstration at a time (time setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. By changing and setting the time from the completion of the symbol variation to the player waiting state, it is possible to provide variation in the time from the completion of the symbol variation to the demonstration.

In addition, for example, it can be used as a set value that can set a plurality of contents of a demonstration (demonstration performed while the player is waiting) to be performed after the pattern variation is completed. In this case, a demonstration effect setting pattern 1 that designates "comical effect" is assigned as setting value 1, and a demonstration effect setting pattern that designates "comical effect, movement effect of movable body (character object)" as setting value 2. 2 is assigned, a demonstration effect setting pattern 3 that designates "serious effect" is assigned as the set value 3, and a demonstration effect setting pattern that designates "serial effect, movement effect of the movable body (role object)" is assigned as the set value 4. 4 is assigned, a demonstration effect setting pattern 5 specifying "historical drama effect" is assigned as setting value 5, and a demonstration effect setting designating "historical drama effect, movable body (role object)" is assigned as setting value 6. Pattern 6 is assigned (the aspect of changing and setting the content of the demonstration effect may be described as "modification (3) based on common hardware configuration"). In addition, the peripheral control board 1510 that receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a can demonstrate with a demonstration effect (demonstration effect setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. Depending on the manner of changing and setting the details of the demonstration effect, variations can be given to the details of the demonstration effect performed after the variation of the symbols is finished.

In addition, for example, it can be used as a set value for setting a plurality of default volumes to be adjusted by the volume adjustment button 227 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 . By pressing the volume control button 227, the volume can be increased or decreased from the default volume. In this case, volume setting pattern 1 that specifies "volume 1" is assigned as setting value 1, volume setting pattern 2 that specifies "volume 2" is assigned as setting value 2, and "volume 3" is assigned as setting value 3. is assigned a volume setting pattern 3 that designates ", a volume setting pattern 4 that designates "volume 4" as a setting value 4 is allocated, a volume setting pattern 5 that designates "volume 5" is allocated as a setting value 5, A volume setting pattern 6 that designates "volume 6" is assigned as the setting value 6 (the change setting mode of the default volume may be described as "modification (4) based on common hardware configuration"). It should be noted that the volume is set to increase from setting value 1 to setting value 6. FIG. The peripheral control board 1510, which receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a, sets the default sound volume (volume setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. In addition, the default volume of "volume 1" assigned to setting value 1 is moved to the volume control button 227 in the direction of decreasing the volume (moved in the direction opposite to the direction of increasing the volume), and moved to the end of the volume minimum side. When the adjustment is completed and the volume is adjusted to the minimum side volume, the sound may be muted, or the volume may be such that the sound can be recognized when standing still in front of the pachinko machine. In addition, the default volume of "volume 6" assigned to set value 6 is moved to the end of the maximum volume side by moving the volume control button 227 in the direction of increasing the volume (moving in the direction opposite to decreasing the volume). When the adjustment is completed and adjusted to the maximum volume, the volume may be set to the maximum volume, or the volume may be set to a predetermined percentage (for example, 85%) of the maximum volume. This mode of change setting of the default sound volume allows variation in the default sound volume adjusted by the sound volume control button 227 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 .

Also, for example, it can be used as a set value for setting a plurality of sound volumes of error notification sounds for error notification such as various problems, gotos, and errors. Various error notification sounds cannot be adjusted by operating the volume control button 227 provided on the peripheral control board 1510 (that is, are not dependent), and the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound by maximizing the volume is played. Although it is easy for hall clerks and other attendants to notice, it may be offensive to players who are playing games on other pachinko machines. Therefore, there is also a demand for a device capable of adjusting the volume of various error notification sounds. In this case, error notification volume setting pattern 1 that specifies "error notification volume 1" is assigned as setting value 1, and error notification volume setting pattern 2 that specifies "error notification volume 2" is assigned as setting value 2. , error notification volume setting pattern 3 that specifies "error notification volume 3" is assigned as setting value 3, error notification volume setting pattern 4 that specifies "volume 4" is assigned as setting value 4, and setting value 5 is assigned as " An error notification volume setting pattern 5 specifying "error notification volume 5" is assigned, and an error notification volume setting pattern 6 specifying "error notification volume 6 (maximum volume)" is assigned as a setting value 6 (error notification sound volume is sometimes referred to as "modified example (5) based on common hardware configuration"). In addition, setting value 1 (the volume that does not mute the sound, and the volume that allows you to recognize the error notification sound when you stop in front of the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound) to setting value 6 (the maximum volume, The volume of the error notification sound is set so that the volume of the error notification sound increases toward a volume at which the error notification sound can be sufficiently recognized even if the player is several meters away from the pachinko machine that emits the error notification sound. The peripheral control board 1510, which receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a, performs control to emit an error notification sound at the error notification sound volume (error notification volume setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. Depending on the manner of changing and setting the volume of the error notification sound, it is possible to provide variation in the volume of the error notification sound in the error notification.

Also, for example, it can be used as a set value for setting a plurality of default luminances of light emitters such as lamps and LEDs. It is possible to increase or decrease the brightness from the default brightness for the light emitters to be controlled by the main control MPU 1310a. In this case, the default brightness setting pattern 1 that specifies "brightness 1" is assigned as the setting value 1, the default brightness setting pattern 2 that specifies "brightness 2" is assigned as the setting value 2, and the setting value 3 is " A default brightness setting pattern 3 specifying "brightness 3" is assigned, a default brightness setting pattern 4 specifying "brightness 4" is assigned as the setting value 4, and a default brightness setting pattern specifying "brightness 5" is assigned as the setting value 5. 5 is assigned, and a default brightness setting pattern 6 that specifies "brightness 6" as the setting value 6 is assigned (the mode of change setting of default brightness is sometimes described as "modification (6) by common hardware configuration"). be). Note that the main control MPU 1310a adjusts the luminance of the light emitters by repeatedly performing main control side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, to change the default luminance, and perform lighting, blinking, gradation points, and the like of the light emitters. The peripheral control board 1510, which receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a, is subject to control by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the default brightness (default brightness setting pattern) according to the setting value included in the setting change command. By adjusting the brightness of the light emitters, lighting, blinking, gradation points, etc. of the light emitters can be performed. Variations can be given to the default brightness of light emitters such as lamps and LEDs by changing and setting the content of the default brightness.

In addition, for example, it can be used as a set value that can set a plurality of luminances of light emitters such as lamps and LEDs for reporting errors such as various defects, gotos, and errors. An error notification luminance setting pattern 1 that designates "error notification luminance 1" as the setting value 1 is assigned to the lamp to be controlled by the main control MPU 1310a, and "error notification luminance 2" is assigned as the setting value 2. An error notification brightness setting pattern 2 is assigned to be specified, an error notification brightness setting pattern 3 specifying "error notification brightness 3" is assigned as a setting value 3, and an error notification specifying "error notification brightness 4" is assigned as a setting value 4. A luminance setting pattern 4 is assigned, an error notification luminance setting pattern 5 specifying "error notification luminance 5" is assigned as the setting value 5, and an error notification specifying "error notification luminance 6 (maximum luminance)" is assigned as the setting value 6. A luminance setting pattern 6 is assigned (the manner of changing the luminance of the light emitter in the error notification may be described as "modification (7) based on common hardware configuration"). In addition, from setting value 1 (the brightness of the lamp is low, so that an error notification can be recognized when stopping in front of the pachinko machine even though it does not turn off), the lamp brightness is increased from setting value 6 (maximum brightness). Brightness is set to high. The main control MPU 1310a adjusts the brightness of the light emitters by repeatedly performing the main control side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, to change the brightness of the light emitters in the error notification, and adjust the lighting, blinking, gradation points, etc. of the light emitters. conduct. The peripheral control board 1510, which receives the setting change command from the main control MPU 1310a, is the object to be controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the error notification luminance (error notification luminance setting pattern) corresponding to the setting value included in the setting change command. By adjusting the brightness of the light emitters, lighting, blinking, gradation points, etc. of the light emitters can be performed. By changing and setting the brightness of the light emitters in this error notification, it is possible to provide variations in the brightness of the light emitters such as lamps and LEDs in the error notification.

Further, the various setting values assigned to the modifications (1) to (7) based on the above-described common hardware configuration are determined when the predetermined setting value display permission condition is established in the setting value confirmation display processing (to be described later) performed by the main control MPU 1310a. However, it may be displayed on the setting display 1310g all the time after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on until the power is turned off (set value display (8) may be referred to as "modification (8) by common hardware configuration").

Also, any one of the modifications (1) to (8) based on the common hardware configuration described above may be appropriately selected and used as the modification (30) of the decision key described above.

In addition, the predetermined setting value change permission condition described above is applied to the outer frame 2 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on or when power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily). Then, the main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. Therefore, it was necessary that the setting key had been turned ON. When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on while depressing the depressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f, the main control MPU 1310a clears a specific area out of all the areas of the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power-on processing described later. is cleared except for , and then the game proceeds by performing interrupt permission setting and the like. Further, when the above-described predetermined setting value change permission condition is established at the time of power recovery of the pachinko machine 1, the main control MPU 1310a performs setting change processing in the main control side power-on processing to be described later, and stores the main control built-in RAM. The game proceeds by clearing the entire area except for the specific area, and then performing interrupt permission setting and the like. In other words, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on while pressing the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f, when the power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is restored, the above-described predetermined setting value change permission condition is established. In either case, the main control MPU 1310a clears all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area in the main control side power-on processing described later, and then proceeds with the game by setting interrupt permission etc. It will happen. Therefore, as the above-described predetermined setting value change permission condition, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure), the outer frame 2 Then, the main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. In addition to the ON operation of the setting key, the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f may be pressed (this may be described as "a modification of the predetermined set value change permission condition"). be).

In addition, the predetermined setting value display permission condition described above is applied to the outer frame 2 after the power is restored after the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily). Then, the main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. Therefore, it was necessary that the setting key had been turned ON. When this predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied, the main control MPU 1310a sets and displays the current setting value in the setting value confirmation display processing which is performed as one processing of the main control side timer interrupt processing to be described later. displayed on vessel 1310g. Moreover, as described above, the RAM clear switch 1310f needs to be pressed when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, and the period of pressing is limited. Therefore, as the above-described predetermined setting value display permission condition, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (an instantaneous power failure), the outer frame 2 Then, the main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform the first ON operation. In addition to the ON operation of the setting key, the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch 1310f may not be pressed (in the case described as "a modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition"). there is). In this case, the main control MPU 1310a does not perform the setting value confirmation display processing as one processing of the main control side timer interrupt processing described later when the predetermined modification of the set value display permission condition is satisfied, and In the processing at the time of entry, the game proceeds by performing the initial setting and start-up setting of the built-in WDT, and then performing the interrupt permission setting and the like. When the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition is established and the setting value confirmation display processing is performed, the main control MPU 1310a does not perform the interrupt permission setting yet, so the main control side timer interrupt processing is performed. A detection signal from the body frame open switch for detecting the opening of the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is initialized. The setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by rotating clockwise 60 degrees from the position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF) and performing the first ON operation. The setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a is read and is not stored in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as input information to be described later. For this reason, the main control MPU 1310a controls the main body frame opening for detecting the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2 when the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition is established and the setting value confirmation display processing is performed. The detection signal from the switch and the setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a are read.

By adopting both the above-described modification of the predetermined setting value change permission condition and the modification of the above-described predetermined setting value display permission condition, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or a power failure (a momentary power failure occurs) When the power is restored after the momentary power failure that occurs), the main body frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2, and the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a. Assuming that the setting key is turned ON by rotating the key cylinder clockwise by 60 degrees and performing the first ON operation, the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is pressed. Sometimes, the main control MPU 1310a performs setting change processing in the main control side power-on processing described later, clears all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area, and then performs interrupt permission setting etc. While the game is progressing, when the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch 1310f is not pressed, the main control MPU 1310a performs set value confirmation display processing in the main control side power-on processing described later, and then, The game progresses by performing interrupt permission setting and the like. By adopting this mode, the main control MPU 1310a never performs the set value confirmation display process once the progress of the game is started. In other words, the main control MPU 1310a never displays the set current setting value on the setting display 1310g when the progress of the game is started by performing the interrupt permission setting or the like. The main control MPU 1310a recovers by the out ball passage 663 of the main body frame 4 through the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a defined on the game board 5 in the ball counting process of the main control side power-on process described later. The number of game balls B collected is counted and output to the base monitor 1310h in the port output process of the main control side power-on processing described later, and the number of game balls B collected by the out port 1008 is counted on the base monitor 1310h. to display. Therefore, the current set value displayed by the setting display 1310g may be displayed on the base monitor 1310h described above (this may be described as a "modification of how to use the base monitor"). . As a result, the main control MPU 1310a uses the base monitor 1310h to display the current set value that is set during the period from when the power is restored until when the progress of the game is started by performing the interrupt permission setting or the like. In addition, when the progress of the game is started by setting interrupt permission after the power is restored, the number of game balls B collected by the out port 1008 (out ball passage 663 of the main body frame 4) is displayed. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the setting display 1310g, which contributes to cost reduction.

Further, any one of the above-described modification of the predetermined set value change permission condition, the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition, and the modification of the method of using the base monitor is selected as appropriate. It may be selected and employed in the modified example (30) of the enter key described above.

Further, any one of the above-described modification of the predetermined set value change permission condition, the modification of the predetermined setting value display permission condition, and the modification of the method of using the base monitor is selected as appropriate. It may be selected and employed in modifications (1) to (8) based on the common hardware configuration described above.

[5-8h. Gate member]
Next, the gate member 2800 in the front unit 2000 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 142 and 143 and the like. 142(a) is a front perspective view of the gate member, (b) is an exploded front perspective view of the gate member, and (c) is an exploded rear view of the gate member. 1 is an exploded perspective view as seen; FIG. FIG. 143(a) is a front view of the gate member, and (b) is a sectional view cut along the saw line in (a).

The gate member 2800 of the front unit 2000 is arranged between the guide passage group 2520 of the center accessory 2500 and the side right center unit 2700 in the game area 5a, and is attached to the front surface of the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100. It is The gate member 2800 includes a gate 2003 for performing a lottery for the ordinary lottery result that opens and closes the second starting port 2004 when the game ball B passes through, and a gate sensor 2801 for detecting that the game ball B has passed through the gate 2003. ,have. A detection hole for detecting the game ball B in the gate sensor 2801 is a gate 2003 .

The gate member 2800 has a guiding piece 2802 projecting obliquely downward to the left from near the right end of the bottom surface. The guiding piece 2802 is for guiding the game ball B that has passed through the gate 2003 to the lower left. This guide piece 2802 is inclined so that its extension line passes through the vicinity of the left end of the general prize winning opening 2001 in the side right center unit 2700 in the state assembled to the game board 5 .

The gate member 2800 is positioned substantially in the center between the right rail 1005 of the front structural member 1000 and the right side of the peripheral wall portion 2501 of the center accessory 2500 in a state assembled to the game board 5, and is positioned on both left and right outer sides of the game board. A gap is formed through which the sphere B can flow. This gate member 2800 is located slightly to the left of the first guide passage 2521 in the guide passage group 2520 of the center accessory 2500, and to the right of the right above the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700. positioned.

More specifically, the gate member 2800 consists of a gate body 2810 that is attached to the front of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110) and holds the gate sensor 2801, and a gate body 2810 that is attached to the front of the gate body 2810 and has a predetermined sensor. and a gate seal 2811 on which decoration is printed. The gate body 2810 is made transparent.

The gate body 2810 includes a flat plate-shaped front plate portion 2810a that is elongated in the left and right direction, an attachment recess 2810b that is recessed rearward in a horizontally long, substantially rectangular shape on the front surface of the front plate portion 2810a, and is provided at the upper left corner of the attachment recess 2810b. a separation hole 2810d passing through the front plate portion 2810a in the vicinity of the right end of the sticking recessed portion 2810b; and a pair of arms extending rearward from both left and right sides of the front plate portion 2810a 2810e, and a flat plate-shaped flange portion 2810f extending outward in the left-right direction from the rear ends of the pair of arm portions 2810e and connected to each other at a portion below the front plate portion 2810a.

The surfaces of the pair of arms 2810e that face each other are separated from each other by a distance larger than the diameter of the detection hole of the gate sensor 2801 . Also, the flange portion 2810f is attached to the panel plate 1110 of the game panel 1100 with its rear surface in contact with the front surface of the panel plate 1110 .

Further, the gate body 2810 is recessed at a constant height in the vertical direction on the rear surface of the front plate portion 2810a and the opposed surfaces of the pair of arm portions 2810e. A rear extension portion 2810h extending rearward from the rear end of the left arm portion 2810e so as to extend the arm portion 2810e and the accommodation groove 2810g, and a rearward extension portion from the rear end of the right arm portion 2810e. and a locking portion 2810i extending rearward from 2810h and having a rear end bent leftward for locking the gate sensor 2801 housed in the housing groove 2810g.

Further, the gate body 2810 has a protrusion 2810j that protrudes into the housing groove 2810g at the intersection of the front plate portion 2810a and the left arm portion 2810e. The protrusion 2810j is formed in a shape corresponding to the notch 2801a of the gate sensor 2801. As shown in FIG. The gate body 2810 also has a guide piece 2802 extending downward from the bottom surface of the right arm portion 2810e.

The adhesive concave portion 2810b of the gate body 2810 is recessed backward (0.4 mm to 1.0 mm) deeper than the thickness of the gate seal 2811 (see FIG. 143(b)). The erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c is formed in a C-chamfered shape that is larger than the chamfering of the other corners of the sticking concave portion 2810b. In this gate member 2800, since the gate seal 2811 (adhering concave portion 2810b) has a rectangular shape that is long in the left and right direction, it is difficult to determine the vertical direction of the gate seal 2811, and there is a risk that the gate seal 2811 will be adhered upside down. However, this erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c allows the sticking direction of the gate seal 2811 to be specified, and the gate seal 2811 can be attached in the regular direction (the direction in which the cutout portion 2811a of the gate seal 2811 matches the erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c). can be pasted. If the gate seal 2811 is turned upside down and attached to the attachment recess 2810b, the erroneous attachment prevention portion 2810c causes part of the gate seal 2811 to protrude from the attachment recess 2810b. It is possible to make the user aware of incorrect attachment of the seal 2811 .

In this sticking concave portion 2810b, the left edge portion and the oblique portion of the wrong sticking prevention portion 2810c are set as contact surfaces for sticking the gate seal 2811 thereon. This makes it possible to secure a clearance for attaching the gate seal 2811 not only in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, but also in the vertical direction of the obliquely extending portion of the erroneous attachment prevention portion 2810c. In other words, the three effective clearance directions for attaching the gate seal 2811 are the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the oblique direction, which facilitates the attachment work (see FIG. 207(a)).

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

The separation hole 2810d of the present embodiment has long sides and short sides in the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 2810d is smaller than this, the diameter of the separation rod-shaped member (tool) inserted into the separation hole 2810d becomes small, and the tool tends to bend, which may make it impossible to press the gate seal 2811 sufficiently. If the separation hole 2810d is larger than this, the portion of the separation hole 2531b in the gate seal 2811 may be bent, and the appearance of the gate seal 2811 may deteriorate.

The right inner peripheral surface of the separation hole 2810d is flush with the bottom surface (leftward surface) of the housing groove 2810g formed in the right arm portion 2810e. In addition, the vertical dimension of the locking portion 2810i is smaller than the vertical dimension of the separation hole 2810d, and the rear end (claw portion) of the locking portion 2810i is smaller than the horizontal dimension of the separation hole 2810d. protrudes slightly to the left.

This separation hole 2810d has a function of removing a gate seal 2811, which will be described later, and a core for forming a rear end of a locking portion 2810i that becomes under when the gate body 2810 is injection-molded. Injection molding of the gate body 2810 can be facilitated.

The gate seal 2811 is slightly elongated in the left-right direction with respect to a shape that is offset inward by a certain distance from the outer shape of the attachment recess 2810b. At the upper left corner of the gate seal 2811, a C-chamfered notch 2811a corresponding to the erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c is formed so that the correct sticking direction (vertical direction here) with respect to the sticking concave portion 2810b can be known. It's like The entire rear surface of the gate seal 2811 is a glue surface having adhesive strength.

According to the gate member 2800 of the present embodiment, when the pachinko machine 1 is manufactured, if the gate seal 2811 cannot be properly attached to the attachment recess 2810b of the gate body 2810, the gate body 2810 (front plate portion 2810a), a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole 2810d from the rear, and the tip of the rod-shaped member pushes the gate seal 2811 from the rear to the front. By pulling the turned-up portion by an operator, the gate seal 2811 can be easily removed from the sticking concave portion 2810b, and the gate seal 2811 can be stuck again.

In addition, with the gate main body 2810 and the gate sensor 2801 separated, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole 2810d from the rear of the gate main body 2810, and the gate seal 2811 is pressed from behind by the tip of the rod-shaped member, thereby attaching the gate seal 2811. Since the gate seal 2811 can be easily removed from the recess 2810b, it is possible to easily replace the gate seal 2811 when changing models.

Furthermore, as described above, when the gate main body 2810 and the gate sensor 2801 are separated, the gate seal 2811 can be easily removed from the pasting recess 2810b using the separation hole 2810d. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the sorting work for each material, and the cost for disposal of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

In addition, since the separation hole 2810d can be hidden from the front by sticking the gate seal 2811 to the sticking concave portion 2810b, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the appearance due to the separation hole 2810d and prevent the player from seeing the separation hole 2810d. It is possible to make it difficult for the user to notice its existence, and it is possible to make it difficult to plan a fraudulent act using the separation hole 2810d.

Further, in the state where the pachinko machine 1 is assembled, the separation hole 2810d is closed from behind by the front surface of the gate sensor 2801 housed in the housing groove 2810g of the gate body 2810 to which the gate seal 2811 is attached. Unlike the conventional pachinko machine, a hole that passes through to the rear side is not penetrated, so a linear illegal tool such as a piano wire can enter the game board 5 or the detection hole of the gate sensor 2801 through the hole. It is possible to avoid being inserted into the device, and to prevent fraudulent acts.

In addition, since the separation hole 2810d is closed from the rear by the front surface of the gate sensor 2801, even if an unauthorized tool is passed through the gate seal 2811 from the front and inserted into the separation hole 2810d, the front surface of the gate sensor 2801 prevents it from moving further. can be prevented from being inserted (intruded) backward, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized tool from entering the game board 5 from the front through the separation hole 2810d or the detection hole of the gate sensor 2801. It is possible to prevent the act from being performed, and since a trace is left on the gate seal 2811 by an unauthorized tool penetrating the gate seal 2811, it is possible to make the person hesitate to commit an illegal act, and the deterrence against the illegal act is high. A pachinko machine 1 can be provided.

Furthermore, since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 2810c is provided in the sticking concave portion 2810b to which the gate seal 2811 is stuck, the gate seal 2811 cannot be stuck correctly when the gate seal 2811 is stuck upside down. It is possible to make the worker aware of incorrect attachment of the gate seal 2811, and to allow the gate seal 2811 to be attached in the normal direction, and to attach the gate seal 2811 upside down. It is possible to prevent the product from being shipped in a state in which it is attached.

In addition, since the protrusion 2810j is provided in the accommodation groove 2810g in the gate main body 2810, if the protrusion 2810j and the notch 2801a of the gate sensor 2801 are inserted from behind into the accommodation groove 2810g, It is possible to prevent the front surface of the gate sensor 2801 from contacting the projection 2810j before contacting the rear surface of the front plate portion 2810a, so that the locking portion 2810i cannot be locked to the rear surface of the gate sensor 2801. In other words, only when the gate sensor 2801 is inserted into the accommodation groove 2810g in such a direction that the projection 2810j and the notch 2801a of the gate sensor 2801 are aligned, the locking portion 2810i is locked to the rear end of the gate sensor 2801, and the gate is opened. Since the sensor 2801 is held, it is possible to prevent the gate sensor 2801 from being assembled in the wrong direction, and to suppress the occurrence of defects related to the gate sensor 2801. - 特許庁

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

Further, as described above, by locking the gate sensor 2801 to the locking portion 2810i of the gate main body 2810, movement in the front-rear direction can be restricted. Even if the gate sensor 2801 is pushed rearward by an unauthorized tool, the rearward movement of the gate sensor 2801 can be prevented by the locking of the locking portion 2810i, and the closing of the separation hole 2810d by the gate sensor 2801 from the rear side can be prevented. can be maintained to prevent fraud.

In addition, since the locking portion 2810i of the gate body 2810 projects into the front projection range of the separation hole 2810d, the separation hole 2810d also serves as an insertion hole through which a core for forming the locking portion 2810i is inserted. and the gate body 2810 can be formed by injection molding.

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

[Technical concept A]
In gaming machines,
"A decorative body with a predetermined decoration,
It has a portion to be decorated, to which the decoration is attached from the front, and a separation hole that passes through the portion to be decorated from front to back and allows the attached decoration to be separated by pressing from the rear. a front member having a
a passage member provided on the rear side of the front member so as to close the separation hole of the front member from the rear, and having a passage portion through which a game medium can flow;
The front member is
An accommodating portion extending rearward from the rear side of the portion to be decorated and recessed forward from the rear end thereof, and having the separation hole positioned on the front end side thereof so as to accommodate at least a portion of the passage member from the rear. and further has".

Here, the gate seal 2811 is the decorative body, the gate main body 2810 is the front member, the pasting concave portion 2810b is the decorated portion, the gate 2003 (detection hole of the gate sensor 2801) is the passage portion, and the gate sensor 2801 is the passage member. , and the accommodation groove 2810g respectively correspond to the accommodation portion.

Accordingly, since the separation hole is positioned in the front part of the front member on the front side of the accommodating portion, when at least part of the passage member is accommodated in the accommodating portion, the separation hole can be closed from the rear by the front end of the passage member. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that achieves the same effects as those described above.

In addition, since the front member has an accommodating portion, at least a part of the passage member is accommodated in the accommodating portion from the rear, so that the accommodating portion prevents the passage member from moving vertically, horizontally, and forward. It is possible to regulate and position the game machine, simplify the assembly of the game machine, and reduce the cost of the game machine.

[Technical concept B]
In gaming machines,
"A decorative body with a predetermined decoration,
It has a portion to be decorated, to which the decoration is attached from the front, and a separation hole that passes through the portion to be decorated from front to back and allows the attached decoration to be separated by pressing from the rear. a front member having a
a passage member provided on the rear side of the front member so as to close the separation hole of the front member from the rear, and having a passage portion through which a game medium can flow;
The front member is
It further has an engaging portion projecting into the front projection range of the separation hole behind the decorated portion and for engaging the passage member.

Here, the gate seal 2811 is the decorative body, the gate main body 2810 is the front member, the pasting concave portion 2810b is the decorated portion, the gate 2003 (detection hole of the gate sensor 2801) is the passage portion, and the gate sensor 2801 is the passage member. , and the locking portion 2810i respectively correspond to the locking portion.

As a result, the locking portion that is locked to the passage member protrudes within the front projection range of the separation hole, so that when the passage member is locked to the locking portion, the separation hole is closed from the rear. The passage member is sandwiched between the rear side of the covering decorative portion and the locking portion, so that the passage member can close the separation hole and restrict the movement of the passage member in the front-rear direction.

Further, as described above, by locking the passage member to the locking portion, the movement in the front-rear direction can be restricted. To prevent a fraudulent act by preventing rearward movement of a passage member by locking a locking part even when the passage member is pressed, and maintaining closure of a separation hole from the rear by the passage member. can be done.

Furthermore, since the engaging portion of the front member protrudes within the front projection range of the separation hole, the separation hole can also be used as an insertion hole through which the core for forming the engaging portion is inserted. The member can be formed by injection molding.

[Technical concept C]
In gaming machines,
"A decorative body with a predetermined decoration,
a portion to be decorated, which is recessed rearwardly relative to the depth in the front-rear direction of the decoration and to which the decoration is attached from the front; a separation hole that can be separated by pressing from, a storage portion that extends rearward from the rear side of the decorated portion and is recessed forward from the rear end, and the separation hole is located on the front end side; a front member having a locking portion projecting into the front projection range of the separation hole behind the decorated portion;
At least a part of the front member is housed in the housing portion from the rear so as to close the separation hole of the front member from the rear side, and is locked by the locking portion to provide a passage portion through which game media can flow. and a passage member having".

Here, the gate seal 2811 is the decorative body, the gate main body 2810 is the front member, the pasting concave portion 2810b is the decorated portion, the gate 2003 (detection hole of the gate sensor 2801) is the passage portion, and the gate sensor 2801 is the passage member. , the receiving groove 2810g corresponds to the receiving portion, and the locking portion 2810i corresponds to the locking portion, respectively.

As a result, the decorative body having the predetermined decoration is attached to the front surface of the front member provided on the front side of the passage member having the passage portion through which the game medium circulates. Therefore, the appearance of the passage member can be improved by the decoration of the decorative body. In addition, since the portion to be decorated, to which the ornamental body is attached, is recessed rearward from the depth of the ornamental body in the front-rear direction, when the ornamental body is attached to the portion to be decorated, the portion to be decorated in the front member will be dented. Since the surrounding part projects forward from the front surface of the decoration, the decoration can be highlighted by being bordered by the forwardly projecting part of the front member, and the decorative effect of the decoration of the decoration. can be easily exhibited, and the appearance of the game machine can be improved.

In addition, since the portion to be decorated, to which the ornament is attached, is recessed backward, the ornament can be attached to the correct position by using the protruding periphery of the portion to be decorated on the front member as a guide when attaching the ornament. It is possible to make it easy to attach, reduce the failure of attachment of the decorative body, and suppress an increase in the cost of the game machine.

In this game machine, since the portion to be decorated of the front member is recessed backward, the contact surface between the ornament and the portion to be decorated is recessed when the ornament is attached to the portion to be decorated. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to remove the decoration attached to the part to be decorated, it is difficult to hook the decoration from the front side, and it takes time and effort to remove it. On the other hand, since the part to be decorated is provided with the separation hole, the attachment to the part to be decorated can be easily released by pushing the decoration forward by passing the bar member through the separation hole from the rear of the front member. The decorative body can be easily removed from the part to be decorated. Therefore, if the ornament cannot be properly adhered to the portion to be decorated of the front member during manufacture, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole from the rear of the front member, and the tip of the rod-shaped member pushes the ornament from the rear. By doing so, the attachment to the portion to be decorated can be easily released, so that the decoration can be easily removed from the portion to be decorated, and the decoration can be attached again. In addition, in a state in which the front member and the passage member are separated from each other, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole from the rear of the front member, and the front end of the rod-shaped member pushes the decoration from the rear, thereby facilitating adhesion to the portion to be decorated. Since it can be released, the decoration can be easily removed from the part to be decorated, and the replacement work of the decoration can be facilitated when the model is changed. Furthermore, as described above, when the front member and the passage member are separated from each other, the decoration can be easily removed from the part to be decorated using the separation hole. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the sorting work and reduce the cost of disposal of the game machine.

In addition, since the separation hole is provided in the part to be decorated, the separation hole can be made difficult to see or hidden from the front by adhering the decoration body to the part to be decorated, thereby suppressing deterioration of the appearance due to the separation hole. At the same time, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the existence of the separation hole, and to make it difficult for the player to plan a fraudulent act through the separation hole.

At least part of the passage member is accommodated in the accommodation portion of the front member from behind, and the engagement portion is engaged with the passage member, so that the accommodation portion, the engagement portion, and the rear side of the portion to be decorated are combined. , the movement of the passage member in the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the longitudinal direction can be regulated and positioned, and the assembly of the game machine can be facilitated, thereby reducing the cost of the game machine. At this time, since the separation hole is positioned in a portion of the front member on the front side of the accommodating portion, when at least part of the passage member is accommodated in the accommodating portion, the separation hole is closed from the rear by the front end of the passage member. It will happen. Therefore, when assembled in the game machine, the separation hole is closed from the rear by the passage member assembled on the rear side of the front member to which the decorative body is attached. Since there is no hole that passes through to the rear side like a machine, it is possible to prevent a linear illegal tool such as a piano wire from being inserted into the game machine through the hole, and cheating is performed. can be prevented.

In addition, since the passage member closes the separation hole from the rear, even if the unauthorized tool is inserted into the separation hole through the decorative body from the front, the passage member prevents further insertion (intrusion) to the rear. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized tool from entering the passage from the front through the separation hole, thereby preventing fraudulent activities and preventing the unauthorized tool from damaging the decorative body. Penetration leaves traces on the decoration, making it possible to discourage the execution of fraudulent actions, and to provide a gaming machine with high deterrence against fraudulent actions.

Further, as described above, by locking the passage member to the locking portion, the movement in the front-rear direction can be restricted. To prevent a fraudulent act by preventing rearward movement of a passage member by locking a locking part even when the passage member is pressed, and maintaining closure of a separation hole from the rear by the passage member. can be done.

Further, since the engaging portion of the front member protrudes into the front projection range of the separation hole, the separation hole can also be used as an insertion hole through which the core for forming the engaging portion is inserted. The member can be formed by injection molding.

The game ball B received in the big winning hole 2005 is detected by the big winning hole sensor 2402 and discharged onto the board holder 1200 outside the game area 5a. When the game balls B are detected by the big winning hole sensor 2402, a privilege of paying out a predetermined number of game balls B is awarded.

In addition, depending on the momentum of the game ball B released from the second shelf 2422 to the left, by contacting the step on the lower surface of the upper shelf 2436, it flows down diagonally to the right and the second shelf 2422 and the third shelf 2422 A game ball B may enter the gap between the shelf 2423 and the shelf 2423 . The game ball B that has entered the gap between the second shelf portion 2422 and the third shelf portion 2423 passes between the third vertical wall portion 2427 and the fourth vertical wall portion 2428 and reaches near the left end of the second horizontal wall portion 2433. It drops, rolls to the right due to the inclination of the second horizontal wall portion 2433 , and is received by the first sub-out port 2021 .

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

For this reason, in order to open and close the big winning opening 2005 and the role winning opening 2006, the first starting opening 2002 or the second starting opening 2004 is made to accept the game ball B, It is necessary to draw a lottery for the result of the first special lottery or the result of the second special lottery such as "big hit". While the first starting port 2002 is always open, the second starting port 2004 needs to allow the game ball B to pass through the gate 2003 to draw a "normal win" as a result of the normal lottery. Therefore, the chance of accepting the game ball B to the second starting port 2004 is lower than that of the first starting port 2002. - 特許庁

Therefore, in a normal state, the player hits the game ball B so that the game ball B can be received by the first starting port 2002 and the game ball B flows down the left side of the center accessory 2500. The operation can be performed, the movement of the game ball B guided by the plurality of obstacle nails N can be shown, and the original game of the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed, and the game ball B to the first start port 2002 can be enjoyed.

[5-8j. magnetic sensor]
Next, the plurality of magnetic sensors 1050 on the game board 5 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIGS. 146 to 148 and the like. FIG. 146 is a front view of a game board showing the arrangement of magnetic sensors. 147(a) is an explanatory diagram showing the orientation of a magnetic sensor capable of detecting magnetic lines of force from a magnet, (b) is an explanatory diagram showing the orientation of a magnetic sensor unable to detect magnetic lines of force from a magnet, and (c) ) is an explanatory view schematically showing the detection range of the magnetic sensor by a perspective view, and (d) is an explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic body where the magnetic lines of force from the magnet cannot be detected, and ( e) is an explanatory view showing the positional relationship between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic body that enables detection of the magnetic lines of force from the magnet. 148(a) is a perspective view showing a state in which the magnetic sensor is held by the holding member, (b) is an exploded perspective view showing the state in which the holding member and the magnetic sensor are separated, and (c). 1] is an exploded view showing a holding member in cross section. [FIG.

A plurality of magnetic sensors 1050 are provided on the game board 5, and are for detecting illegal magnetism (magnetic lines of force) acting within the game area 5a. The magnetic sensor 1050, as shown in FIG. and a transparent sensor case 1053 covering the . In addition to the sensor main body 1051, ICs, transistors, resistors, diodes, connectors for connection, and the like are mounted on the sensor substrate 1052, although illustration is omitted.

The magnetic sensor 1050 is rectangular in plan view and is formed in a cuboid shape having a height lower than the length of the short side of the rectangle, and one portion of the side in the height direction is chamfered. In this magnetic sensor 1050 , the sensor main body 1051 and the sensor substrate 1052 inside can be visually recognized from the outside through a transparent sensor case 1053 .

The magnetic sensor 1050 is capable of detecting passage of magnetic lines of force parallel to the longest side of the rectangular parallelepiped. Therefore, when the orientation of the magnetic sensor 1050 and the positional relationship between the magnet 1055 and the direction of the magnetic sensor 1050 are as shown in FIG. can be detected.

On the other hand, when the orientation of the magnetic sensor 1050 and the positional relationship between the magnet 1055 and the direction of the magnetic sensor 1050 are as shown in FIG. ), the magnetism (magnetic lines of force) of the magnet 1055 cannot be detected.

For this reason, the magnetic sensor 1050 has magnetic detection areas of the magnet 1055 on one side and the other side in the long side direction centering on the magnetic sensor 1050, as shown by shading in FIG. 147(c). have a DA. In other words, the magnetic sensor 1050 has a gourd-shaped detection area DA that combines two spheres.

Further, in the game board 5 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 146, a plurality of magnetic sensors 1050 are provided facing appropriate directions. Each magnetic sensor 1050 is the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the prize winning opening 2006, and the warp opening 2511 in the game area 5a. are arranged so that they can be detected. In other words, each magnetism is adjusted so that the part where it is predicted that cheating using a magnet in the game area 5a will be performed is included in the detection area DA of the magnetic sensor 1050 (the area indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 146). A sensor 1050 is arranged in an appropriate orientation.

Also, in the game board 5, each magnetic sensor 1050 receives signals from the starter solenoid 2412, the attacker solenoid 2414, the accessory winning solenoid 2612, the V distribution solenoid, and the drive motor provided in the back unit 3000. In order not to detect magnetism (lines of magnetic force), each detection area DA is kept out of contact with the solenoid and the drive motor.

Next, as shown in FIG. 147(d), when the magnetic body 1056 is arranged in parallel with the magnetic sensor 1050 capable of detecting the magnetic force line from the magnet 1055, the magnetic force line is attracted to the magnetic body 1056, The lines of magnetic force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050 may decrease, and the magnetic sensor 1050 may become unable to detect the lines of magnetic force (magnetism) from the magnet 1055 .

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 147(e), when the magnetic body 1057 is arranged in series with the magnetic sensor 1050 capable of detecting the lines of magnetic force from the magnet 1055, the lines of magnetic force are attracted by the magnetic body 1057, thereby The magnetic field lines passing through the sensor 1050 can be increased. As a result, the magnetism of a distant magnet 1055 or a magnet 1055 with a weak magnetic force can be detected.

By the way, in conventional pachinko machines, the magnetic sensor is attached to the game board using a screw made of a magnetic material. , there is a problem that the magnetic line of force passing through the magnetic sensor is reduced by being attracted to the screw with high magnetic permeability, and it becomes impossible to detect the approach of the magnet. In contrast, in this embodiment, the magnetic sensor 1050 is attached without using screws.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 148, the magnetic sensor 1050 is attached to the game board 5 via a holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material (here, synthetic resin). The holding member 1060 has an accommodating portion 1061 capable of accommodating the magnetic sensor 1050 from one side and an elastic claw 1062 engaged with the magnetic sensor 1050 accommodated in the accommodating portion 1061 . In addition, the holding member 1060 has projections 1063 protruding from the leg portions of the elastic claws 1062 into the housing portion 1061 . This holding member 1060 is made of a transparent synthetic resin.

In this holding member 1060, when the magnetic sensor 1050 is inserted into the housing portion 1061 from the outside, the elastic claws 1062 are elastically deformed in a direction away from the housing portion 1061, and when the magnetic sensor 1050 is housed in the housing portion 1061, the elastic claws 1062 returns and engages magnetic sensor 1050 . At this time, the protrusion 1063 provided on the leg portion of the elastic claw 1062 is in contact with the magnetic sensor 1050, and the magnetic sensor 1050 is pressed against the portion of the inner surface of the accommodating portion 1061 opposite to the elastic claw 1062. there is

By locking the elastic claws 1062, it is possible to prevent the magnetic sensor 1050 from moving in the direction in which the magnetic sensor 1050 is pulled out of the accommodating portion 1061, thereby preventing the magnetic sensor 1050 from falling off. Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is pressed into the accommodating portion 1061 by the contact of the projection 1063, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be prevented from rattling in the accommodating portion 1061. FIG.

In this way, since the holding member 1060 is made of a non-magnetic material, it is possible to prevent the holding member 1060 from attracting magnetic lines of force from the magnet when the magnet is brought close to the play area 5a. Reduction of magnetic field lines passing through 1050 can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to easily detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, and it is possible to detect fraudulent activity using magnets at an early stage. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 having a high deterrence against fraud.

In addition, since the holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material can avoid attracting the magnetic lines of force from the magnet and prevent the reduction of the magnetic lines of force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050, the number of magnetic lines is smaller than that of the conventional pachinko machine. The magnetism acting on the game area 5a can be effectively detected by the sensor 1050, the number of the magnetic sensors 1050 can be reduced, and the increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed. .

In addition, by elastically deforming the elastic claws 1062 of the holding member 1060, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily attached and detached from the holding member 1060. Therefore, like a conventional pachinko machine, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be made of metal made of a magnetic material. The magnetic sensor 1050 can be attached by the elastic claw 1062 without using screws, and the labor required for assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified, thereby reducing the cost of the pachinko machine 1. can be suppressed.

Further, since the protrusion 1063 of the holding member 1060 urges (presses) the magnetic sensor 1050 toward the housing portion 1061, fine vibration of the magnetic sensor 1050 due to the urging of the protrusion 1063 can be suppressed. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the connector connected to the magnetic sensor 1050 is disconnected or the contact failure occurs due to the vibration, and the magnetic sensor 1050 can be reliably operated.

In addition, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is held by the holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material and is provided on the game board 5, the portion of the holding member 1060 attached to the game board 5 is positioned away from the magnetic sensor 1050. Alternatively, it can be provided at a position outside the magnetic detection area DA in the game area 5a. As a result, the influence of magnetic bodies such as screws for attaching the holding member 1060 to the game board 5 can be reduced as much as possible. Thus, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with a high deterrence against cheating using magnets.

In addition, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is held by the transparent holding member 1060 so as to be visible, and the sensor case 1053 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is made transparent, the sensor main body mounted on the sensor substrate 1052 through the transparent sensor case 1053 1051 can be shown to the player. At this time, since the surface of the sensor substrate 1052 on which the sensor main body 1051 is mounted is white, the sensor main body 1051 having a different color (for example, black) can be conspicuous. Therefore, it is possible to make the player strongly recognize that the magnetic sensor 1050 is not a dummy but a real one, and the magnetic sensor 1050 is visible to a person who tries to cheat using a magnet. In addition, deterrence against fraud can be enhanced, and the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

Furthermore, in the magnetic sensor 1050, since the surface of the sensor substrate 1052 on which the sensor main body 1051 is mounted is white, the sensor substrate 1052 can be made inconspicuous, and the sensor substrate 1052 can be used as a decorative substrate on which LEDs are mounted. can be misidentified as Therefore, even if the sensor substrate 1052 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is visible, ordinary players will not be bothered by it, and it is possible to avoid the deterioration of the appearance of the game area 5a.

Further, since the sensor main body 1051 of the magnetic sensor 1050 can be seen from the outside, it is possible to check whether the sensor main body 1051 is damaged or not, so that maintenance work of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. , and the burden on the game hall side in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

More specifically, the first pattern 3111 in FIG. 158(a) is composed of a plurality of points that emit light in the same color as the color of the light emitted from the LED, and the darkest shaded portion is composed of the lightest shaded portions. The part is composed of a plurality of points that emit light by splitting the cocktail light from the LED, and the other dark and light parts are composed of a plurality of lines that emit light in the color of the light from the LED.

Here, the cocktail light is a color light containing two or more of the three primary colors of light. For example, when yellow light, which is a mixture of red light and green light, is irradiated to the spectroscopic light-emitting portion as cocktail light, the yellow light component is split into red light and green light, and red light and green light are emitted at the site. A part that looks green appears. Alternatively, when white light is irradiated as cocktail light to the spectroscopic light emitting part, the white light component is split into red light, green light, and blue light, and the part that looks red, green, or blue at that part. , and a mixture of these colors appears, which makes it possible to show a rainbow-colored glittering light emission. Note that if only one of the three primary colors of light is irradiated to the spectral light emitting unit, the light of that color will be emitted because the light has no component to be dispersed. For this reason, the spectral light emitting unit can emit light in a single color or glitter in multiple colors depending on the color of the light being irradiated, enabling a more diverse range of light emission effects. can.

FIG.

[6-1. Main control board]
Although not shown in detail, the main control board 1310 that controls the progress of the game is a main control board that is a microprocessor that contains a ROM that stores various processing programs and various commands, a RAM that temporarily stores data, and the like. MPU 1310a, a main control I/O port as an input/output device (I/O device), a main control input circuit to which detection signals from various detection switches are input, and a main control solenoid drive for driving various solenoids. A circuit 1310d, a RAM clear switch for completely erasing information stored in the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a, a setting display 1310g for displaying set values and errors, and a game board 5 A base monitor 1310h for displaying the number of game balls B collected by an out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a formed by division is provided. The main control MPU 1310a has built-in ROM and RAM, as well as a watchdog timer for monitoring its operation (system), a function for preventing fraud, and the like.

The main control MPU 1310a includes a built-in RAM (hereinafter referred to as "main control built-in RAM") and a built-in ROM (hereinafter referred to as "main control built-in ROM"). In addition, a watchdog timer (hereinafter referred to as "main control built-in WDT") for monitoring the operation (system) and a function for preventing fraud are also built-in.

In addition, the main control MPU 1310a has a built-in non-volatile RAM. This non-volatile RAM pre-stores a unique ID code assigned by the manufacturer of the main control MPU 1310a to identify the individual (there is only one code in the world). Since the ID code assigned once is stored in a non-volatile RAM, it cannot be rewritten using an external device. The main control MPU 1310a can retrieve the ID code from the nonvolatile RAM and refer to it.

The main control MPU 1310a also incorporates a circuit that is forcibly reset by hardware when affected by electrical noise (hereinafter referred to as "internal reset circuit"). The built-in reset circuit monitors the contents of a predetermined register of the main control MPU 1310a, and if the contents of the register change to inconsistent contents, the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly affected by electrical noise. This is the reset circuit. Such a forced reset by the built-in reset circuit cannot be controlled and disabled by a user program. Therefore, when the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, the reset is applied without executing the main control side power-off processing described later, and the main control side power-on processing described later is executed again. It will be done. In this case, since the main control side power failure processing has not been executed, as will be described later, a checksum (sum value) error will always occur in the main control built-in RAM, so the contents of the main control built-in RAM will be completely erased ( cleared). In addition, even if the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control board 1310 (main control Only the MPU 1310a) will be restarted, and the payout control board 633 is maintained in a started state.

In addition, the main control MPU 1310a is a hardware random number circuit (hereinafter referred to as “main A control built-in hard random number circuit” is built in. This main control built-in hard random number circuit generates a random number within a predetermined numerical range (in this embodiment, a numerical range of 0 as the minimum value and 65535 as the maximum value is preset), The circuit is configured such that a predetermined value is not fixed (that is, the initial value is not fixed) and a different value is set each time the main control MPU 1310a is reset. Specifically, when the main control MPU 1310a is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit first sets one value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value, and the clock signal (main Based on a clock signal output from a crystal oscillator (not shown) provided separately from the control MPU 1310a, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed without overlapping, and the values within the predetermined numerical range are extracted. When all the values of are extracted, one value within the predetermined numerical range is again extracted, and another value within the predetermined numerical range is extracted at high speed based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. Extract values one after another without duplication. Such a high-speed lottery is repeatedly performed by the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the main control MPU 1310a sets the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of acquiring the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a special random number. It is designed to

The main control input circuit is not provided with a reset terminal for forcibly resetting information to which detection signals from various sensors are respectively input to its various input terminals, and does not have a reset function. Therefore, the main control input circuit is configured as a circuit to which a system reset signal from a main control system reset (not shown) is not input. In other words, the main control input circuit outputs various signals based on the information from the various output terminals because the information based on the detection signals from the various sensors input to the various input terminals is not reset by the main control system reset. It is configured as a circuit that

In addition, the detection signal from the door frame open switch and the detection signal from the main body frame open switch are transmitted via the payout control board 633 (i.e., through the payout control input circuit and the payout control output circuit, which will be described later). When input to the main control board 1310 as they are), they are input to input terminals of predetermined input ports of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit.

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

Based on these detection signals, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a control signal from the output terminal of the predetermined output port to the main control solenoid drive circuit, thereby causing the starter solenoid 2412 and the attacker solenoid 2414 from the main control solenoid drive circuit. , the prize winning opening solenoid 2612, and the V distribution solenoid 3007, through the panel relay board 1710, that is, indirectly, or output the respective drive signals from the output terminal of the predetermined output port to the function display unit 1400 status indicator, normal symbol indicator, normal pending indicator, first special symbol indicator, first special pending number indicator, second special symbol indicator, second special pending number indicator, round indicator, Each drive signal is directly output without going through another board. Further, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a drive signal to the setting change permission lamp 1311c of the setting change board 1311 by outputting the drive signal from the output terminal of the predetermined output port based on these detection signals.

In addition, the main control MPU 1310a outputs various information (game information) about the game to the payout control board 633 by outputting various information (game information) about the game from the output terminal of the predetermined output port, By outputting a signal (power failure clear signal) from the output terminal of the predetermined output port, a signal (power failure clear signal) is output to the power failure monitoring circuit, or the game ball B is output from the output terminal of the predetermined output port. By outputting the launch permission signal for permitting the launch of the game ball B, a launch permission signal for permitting the launch of the game ball B is output to the payout control board 633 . The logic of the launch permission signal that conveys permission to launch is set to the launch permission logic when launch is permitted, while the launch stop logic (fire non-permission logic) is the reverse of the launch permission logic when launch is not permitted. is set to As for the logic of the firing permission signal, as an initial value (default), after the pachinko machine 1 is powered on (after the power is restored), firing permission signal setting processing in the main control side timer interrupt processing described later is started. Until then, it is configured by hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function so that the firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) is set by inverting the firing permission logic.

In addition, in this embodiment, the first start sensor 3002, the second start sensor 2401, the gate sensor 2801, the big winning sensor 2402, the prize winning sensor 2601, the V winning sensor 3003, the losing sensor 3004, The out sensor 664 uses a non-contact type electromagnetic proximity switch, while the general winning hole sensor 3001 uses a contact type ON/OFF mechanical switch. This is because the game ball B frequently enters or passes through the first starting hole 2002, the second starting hole 2004, and the gate 2003, so the first starting hole sensor 3002, the second starting hole sensor 2401, and the gate sensor Detection of game ball B by 2801 also occurs frequently. For this reason, proximity switches with high durability and long service life are used for the first start sensor 3002, the second start sensor 2401, and the gate sensor 2801. FIG.

Detection of B also occurs frequently. For this reason, a proximity switch with high durability and long life is also used for the big winning hole sensor 2402 . In addition, since a large amount of game balls B launched into the game area 5a are collected by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a that is partitioned and formed on the game board 5, the game balls B are frequently detected by the out sensor 664. occurs in For this reason, a proximity switch with high durability and long life is used for the out sensor 664 as well. On the other hand, detection by the general winning hole sensor 3001 does not occur frequently in the general winning hole 2001 into which the game ball B does not enter frequently. For this reason, a mechanical switch whose life is shorter than that of the proximity switch is used for the general winning hole sensor 3001 . It should be noted that regardless of whether or not the game ball B enters the general winning hole 2001 frequently, a proximity switch with high durability and long life may be used.

The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data that defines the structure of the screen in time series, and defines the order of the screens to be drawn on the effect display device 1600 . The non-resident area transfer schedule data is configured by arranging non-resident area transfer data in chronological order, which defines the order when various data stored in the image ROM are transferred to the non-resident area of the image RAM. The non-resident area transfer data defines in advance the order of transferring various data from the image ROM to the non-resident area of the image RAM for the screen data to be drawn on the effect display device 1600 according to the progress of the schedule data.

The display control MPU extracts the top screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control unit 1511 from the display control ROM and outputs the screen data following the top screen data to the VDP. It extracts from the display control ROM and outputs it to the VDP. Thus, the display control MPU extracts the screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data one by one from the top screen data from the display control ROM and outputs the extracted data to the VDP.

When the screen data output from the display control MPU is input, the VDP extracts sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data, generates drawing data to be displayed on the effect display device 1600, and extracts the sprite data from the image RAM based on the input screen data. The generated drawing data is output to the effect display device 1600 . Also, when the effect display device 1600 does not accept the screen data from the display control MPU, the VDP outputs an execution signal to that effect to the display control MPU. Note that the VDP employs a line buffer system. The "line buffer method" is to hold one line of drawing data for drawing in the horizontal direction of the effect display device 1600 in a line buffer, and transfer the one line of drawing data held in this line buffer to the effect display device 1600. It is a method to output to

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

A “sprite” is an image displayed as a unit on the effect display device 1600 . For example, when displaying various persons (characters) on the effect display device 1600, the data for drawing each person is called a "sprite". As a result, when displaying a plurality of persons on the effect display device 1600, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to the person, the houses, mountains, roads, etc. that make up the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be made into one sprite. These sprites are drawn on the effect display device 1600 after setting the position to be arranged on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites are superimposed (hereinafter referred to as "sprite superimposition order").

Note that the sprite is constructed by gluing together a plurality of rectangular areas of 64 pixels each in length and width. The data for drawing this rectangular area is called a "sprite character". A small sprite can be expressed using one sprite character, and a relatively large sprite such as a person can be expressed using a total of 6 sprite characters, for example, arranged horizontally by 2×vertically 3. can be expressed. Larger sprites such as backgrounds can be represented using more sprite characters. In this way, the number and arrangement of sprite characters can be arbitrarily specified for each sprite.

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

By adopting a NAND type flash (non-volatile) memory as the peripheral data ROM 1520a in this way, it is possible to reduce the cost, contribute to the suppression of power consumption, and read various stored data at a high transfer speed. can. However, although the peripheral data ROM 1520a can reduce power consumption due to its low operating voltage, it is susceptible to noise due to its low operating voltage. In addition, it is necessary to transmit various data stored in the peripheral data ROM 1520 a from the peripheral data ROM board 1520 to the peripheral control board 1510 accurately and reliably. Therefore, in this embodiment, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the peripheral control board 1510 are not electrically connected via wiring (harness). By adopting a configuration in which the control board 1510 is electrically connected by an inter-board connector, the influence of noise entering 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 has a special connector SCN3 socket on its own surface (mounting surface) 1520x mounted on the surface (mounting surface) 1520x of the peripheral control board 1510 ( Since it is necessary to fix the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 together with the peripheral control board 1510 to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a after inserting and pushing in the plug of the special connector SCN1 provided on the mounting surface 1510x. By adopting the socket of the special connector SCN3 provided with the floating mechanism described above, along with this peripheral control board 1510, the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when fixing the peripheral data ROM board 1520 to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a is absorbed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connection terminals formed in the plug and socket from being damaged, and to reliably form the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data ROM board 1520 .

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

The liquid crystal output board 1530 outputs the drawing data of the image to be drawn on the effect display device 1600 transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 from the connector CN10, thereby causing the effect display device 1600 to display the progress of the game effect (for example, An image to convey that a jackpot game state will occur which is more advantageous than the normal state, an image to convey that the jackpot game state will not occur, and a state in which a jackpot game state will occur compared to the normal state although the jackpot game state will not occur. It is an important board for drawing images such as images that convey the fact that the game is approaching) and demonstrations (demonstration effects that are performed while the player is waiting). Therefore, it is necessary to accurately and reliably transmit drawing data of an image to be 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 liquid crystal output board 1530 and the peripheral control board 1510 are not electrically connected via a wiring (harness). 1510 are electrically connected by a board-to-board connector, thereby reducing the influence of noise entering the board-to-board transmission path.

The procedure for installing various boards in the internal space of the cover body 1501 will be described later, but the liquid crystal output board 1530 has a special connector SCN4 socket provided on its surface (mounting surface) 1530x mounted on the surface (mounting surface) 1530x of the peripheral control board 1510. 1510x, the peripheral data ROM board 1520 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 together with the peripheral control board 1510 must be fixed to the back side of the cover plate 1501a. By adopting the socket of the special connector SCN4 provided with a floating mechanism, it is possible to absorb the error in the front-rear direction that occurs when the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are fixed to the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a and pushed in. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection terminals formed in the plug and the socket from being damaged, and to reliably form the transmission path between the peripheral control board 1510 and the liquid crystal output board 1530 .

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

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

When various boards such as the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the liquid crystal output board 1530 are attached and fixed at predetermined positions on the back side of the cover flat plate 1501a, the surfaces of the various boards (cover A space having a predetermined height (14.8 mm in this embodiment) is formed between the surface facing the rear surface of the flat plate 1501a and the rear surface of the cover flat plate 1501a. By turning on the LEDML1 to LEDML4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, which is also suitable for use as lighting, the space thus formed can be brightly illuminated.

In addition, LEDML1 to LEDML4 are emitted from the area on the back surface of the cover flat plate 1501a of the cover body 1501 and its surroundings, which face the light emitting surfaces of the LEDML1 to LEDML4 provided on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, respectively. Reflecting portions (not shown) are formed to reflect the emitted light and direct it toward the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 again. These reflecting portions (not shown) may be colored paint having a bright color such as white, or colored paint having gloss, or a metallic sheet having luster may be adhered.

In the vicinity of the game board 5, a ball tank 552 and a tank rail 553 are arranged above the game board 5, and a payout unit 560 is arranged on the side of the game board 5. , the game balls rub against each other and become charged and electrostatically discharged, thereby becoming a noise source. Therefore, in the vicinity of the game board 5 where the ball path is formed, there is an environment affected by noise due to electrostatic discharge from the game balls. In addition, since the pachinko machine 1 is arranged in a row opposite to the island facilities of the game hall, other pachinko machines may become noise sources and be affected by noise. Thus, the environment around the game board 5 is extremely susceptible to noise. Therefore, in this embodiment, the cover body 1501, the base body 1502, and the wiring cover body 1503 are made of a conductive resin containing carbon in polycarbonate as described above, and the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral data A configuration in which the ROM substrate 1520 and the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 are electrically connected to the same ground (GND) is employed. As a result, noise entering through the cover body 1501 and the base body 1502 of the peripheral control unit 1500 attached to the rear side of the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 is suppressed by the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral data ROM board 1520, and the like. Noise can be removed by flowing to the substrate ground (ground (GND) of various substrates) such as the liquid crystal output substrate 1530 .

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

First, as shown in FIGS. 173 to 176, a plurality of rectangular pads 1510v are formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the control ROM 1510b is arranged. are arranged in two rows spaced apart by Specifically, the pad 1510v is a read-type ROM to which a control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package (SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package), hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "lead-type package") is detachable. They are arranged at positions corresponding to a plurality of lead terminals respectively projecting outward from both longitudinal side surfaces of the socket. The lead terminals of the lead-type ROM socket are soldered to the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, whereby the lead-type ROM socket is mounted on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. ) is fixed at 1510x. Note that the pad 1510v is arranged in the vicinity of the peripheral control IC 1510a described above.

On the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the control ROM 1510b, which is the electronic component mounted on the front surface, the part number of the electronic component on the front surface and the area indicating the position of the electronic component on the front surface. A surface that indicates the attributes of electronic components (furthermore, it may include the shape of the front electronic component, the size of the front electronic component, the mounting direction of the front electronic component, and the type of the front electronic component). The side labeling portion is printed by silk printing on a solid green resist with white paint that stands out against green (for example, part number 1510v1 of control ROM 1510b in FIG. 173(b), control ROM 1510b 1510v2 (the inner area indicated by the symbol indicating the four corners (L-shaped symbol)) 1510v2, mounting direction of the control ROM 1510b (mounting direction, symbol indicating the position of the first terminal (triangle symbol (Δ))) 1510v3).

On the back side of the peripheral control board 1510 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "non-mounting side" as the side on which the control ROM 1510b is not mounted) 1510y, resistors, capacitors, various electronic components mounted on the back side are mounted. In addition to the IC, the part number of the back side electronic component, the attributes of the back side electronic component such as the area indicating the position where the back side electronic component is arranged (further, the shape of the back side electronic component, the size of the back side electronic component, The mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the back-side electronic components and the model number of the back-side electronic components may be included. It is printed on the resist by silk printing.

In this embodiment, the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package has a storage capacity of 256 Mbits, and has 35 lead terminals extending outward from both sides in the longitudinal direction (70 lead terminals in total on both sides). ) stands out.

The control ROM 1510b has a lead-type package, but in the event of a supply shortage or discontinuation of production, it is necessary to replace it with another package. However, when the package is changed, a leadless type (so-called LGA (Land Grid Array)) package (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a "leadless type package") is replaced with a leadless type package. Since the lead terminals do not protrude from the side surface and the connection terminals are arranged on the bottom surface of the leadless type package, it is necessary to modify the shape and arrangement of the pads 1510v and the routing of the wiring pattern to the pads 1510v. For that reason, it is necessary to manufacture the peripheral control board 1510 even though there are no electrical problems with the other circuits.

Therefore, the pads 1510v are arranged at positions corresponding to a plurality of lead terminals protruding outward from both longitudinal side surfaces of a lead-type ROM socket to which the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package is attached and detached. 1510x are formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and by changing the object to be soldered to the pad 1510v, a mechanism capable of coping with the change of the package is adopted. In other words, even if the package of the control ROM 1510b is changed, there is no need to modify the shape and arrangement of the pads 1510v on the peripheral control board 1510 and the routing of the wiring pattern to the pads 1510v (shape and arrangement of the pads 1510v, 35 pads 1510v per row are arranged in two rows separated by a predetermined distance dimension, and the peripheral control board It is formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of 1510 .

The control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package has a total of 70 lead terminals as described above, while the connection terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a leadless-type package are located on the bottom surface of the leadless-type package. 56 (connection terminals may be less than 56 in some cases) are arranged to reduce the number of terminals. These are a power supply terminal to which a control power supply from the outside is electrically connected, a ground terminal electrically connected to the ground (circuit ground) (GND), and an unconnected NC terminal. This is because the number of .

When the package of the control ROM 1510b is changed from a lead type package to a leadless type package, as shown in FIG. This can be handled by using conversion boards 1510t that change the number. The ROM socket 1510s is a leadless type control ROM 1510b that can be attached and detached using a dedicated tool, and is mainly composed of a mounting portion 1510sa, a pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb and 1510sb, and a plurality of lead terminals 1510sc. ing. A control ROM 1510b having a leadless package is mounted on the mounting portion 1510sa, and the control ROM 1510b having a leadless package is mounted on the mounting portion 1510sa by the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb and 1510sb. When the control ROM 1510b having a leadless package is placed and held on the placing portion 1510sa, the top surface of the control ROM 1510b having a leadless package is opened. is rotated and held so that a force acts toward the bottom surface.

By closing the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb, 1510sb, the force acting on the top surface of the control ROM 1510b having a leadless package toward the bottom surface is maintained, and the leadless package mounted on the mounting portion 1510sa is maintained. The 56 connection terminals on the bottom surface of the control ROM 1510b having a type package and one ends of the corresponding lead terminals 1510sc (56 terminals) are kept electrically connected.

The 56 lead terminals 1510sc are fixed by soldering to pads 1510ta (56) on a surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of a conversion substrate 1510t formed to correspond to the lead terminals 1510sc.

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

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

The plate thickness of the conversion board 1510t is thinner (0.8 mm or 1.0 mm) than the plate thickness (1.6 mm) of the peripheral control board 1510. , non-mounting surface) 1510y, a green resist layer is formed by applying a green resist solution on a layer (copper plane) in which pads 1510ta, wiring patterns, and lands are formed. . The conversion substrate 1510t has through holes (hereinafter referred to as "through holes") having lands electrically connecting wiring patterns formed on a front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and a rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty. ) are formed, and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is plated with copper to have conductivity. The holes of the through holes other than the end face through holes 1510tb to be described later are filled with an insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin blocking the holes of the through holes are the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface). ) are processed so as to be flush with 1510ty, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that blocks the through-hole are completely covered with a green coating film together with the land ("resin filling"). called).

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

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

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

Returning to FIG. 173, a total of 56 pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t, a total of 70 end face through holes 1510tb formed on both longitudinal side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t, 173(b), the point (central point) where the line connecting the centers of the upper and lower sides of the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t intersects with the line connecting the centers of the left and right sides. and a point (center point) where a line connecting the centers of the upper and lower sides of the ROM socket 1510s and a line connecting the centers of the left and right sides of the ROM socket 1510s coincide with each other (including cases where they almost coincide with each other). , the pad 1510ta and the end face through hole 1510tb are spaced apart with a predetermined distance dimension zd as a clearance so that they do not come into electrical contact with each other.

A total of 70 end face through holes 1510tb formed on both longitudinal side surfaces of the conversion board 1510t are formed by inner peripheral walls 1510tba of the end face through holes 1510tb and pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. are soldered, the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are in surface contact (that is, the conversion board 1510t is connected to the surface of the peripheral control board 1510 ( (mounting surface) 1510x and fixed in a state without a gap).

The surfaces of the exposed copper portions on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are coated with solder (coated with solder) by a solder liber, and are exposed. The surface of the copper part is protected and treated to improve wettability during mounting. A water-soluble flux may be used as a solder liber for the conversion board 1510t.

The lands of the end face through holes 1510tb formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are connected to the inner peripheral walls 1510tba of the end face through holes 1510tb and the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. are soldered, they come into surface contact with pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and are electrically connected. This is formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and the surface of the pad 1510v is preliminarily coated with solder (coated with solder) by being treated with a solder re-veler. The lands of the end face through holes 1510tb formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of 1510t are also processed by a solder rebeler and are preliminarily coated with solder (coated with solder). When the inner peripheral wall 1510tba and the pads 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control substrate 1510 are soldered, the end surface through-holes 1510tb formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t. This is because the land is in surface contact with the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. FIG. The solder liberer for the peripheral control board 1510 may be water soluble flux.

Although lands are formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t in the end surface through-hole 1510tb, the lands may not be formed. In this case, a clearance is predetermined so that the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the end face through hole 1510tb and the end face through hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the end face through hole 1510tb do not electrically contact each other. Preferably, they are spaced apart with a distance dimension zd (eg, 0.5 mm or greater). In this case, lower pads electrically connected to the lower ends of the end surface through holes 1510tb may be formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t. The shape of this lower pad is smaller than the shape of the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 (eg, a rectangular shape of 2.5 mm×0.5 mm) (eg, 1 mm square). 0.5 mm to 1.6 mm×0.5 mm to 0.55 mm), and the distance dimension between the pads (so-called pitch) is the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. is the same as (eg, 0.8 mm). As described above, this lower pad is coated with solder by a solder liber, and is processed to protect the surface of the exposed copper portion and improve wettability during mounting. It has been subjected. Even with this configuration, the lower pad electrically connected to the lower end side of the end face through hole 1510tb formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t is located on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb. and the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are in surface contact with the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 when soldering. becomes electrically conductive. Further, with this configuration, pads 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control substrate 1510 are connected to the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion substrate 1510t and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) of the conversion substrate 1510t. ) It is possible to further increase the peel strength with which the pad 1510v is peeled off from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510 when the lower pad formed on 1510ty is soldered.

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

The number of pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is 56 in total, while the number of pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is The number is 70, which is larger than the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t. Further, the shape of the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t is the same as the shape of the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, as described above. and have the same size. Further, the contact area (bonding area) between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t is equal to the end surface through-hole 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t. The contact area between the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the conversion board 1510t and the land formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 ( Therefore, the lands formed on the inner peripheral walls 1510tba of the end face through-holes 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion substrate 1510t and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t (or on the lands). The bonding strength between the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is determined by the pad 1510ta formed on the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t. It is higher than the bonding strength with

Therefore, when the lead terminals 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s are soldered to the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t, the peel strength at which the pads 1510ta are separated from the base material of the conversion board 1510t is Pads 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the control substrate 1510 are soldered to the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion substrate 1510t and the land formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t. The peeling strength of the pad 1510v from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510 is smaller than that in the case where the pad 1510v is peeled off.

In other words, when an external force is applied to the ROM socket 1510s, the peel strength at which the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t are separated from the base material of the conversion board 1510t is the surface of the peripheral control board 1510 ( The surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t soldered to the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s is weaker than the peeling strength of the pads 1510v formed on the mounting surface 1510x from the base material of the peripheral control substrate 1510. Since the pads 1510ta formed in 1510t can be peeled off from the base material of the conversion substrate 1510t, the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion substrate 1510t and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t It is possible to prevent the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 soldered to the lands to be formed from peeling off from the base material of the peripheral control board 1510. Damage can be prevented.

On the other hand, the soldered portion between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t is a thin metal wire and is easily deformed when force is applied to the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s in the peeling direction. An extra load applied to each of the lead terminals 1510sc increases, and a force is applied to peel off the pads 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t and the wiring pattern formed on the conversion board 1510t. As a result, pattern peeling is likely to occur in the soldered portion on the ROM socket 1510s side having thin metal wires, but the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the Soldering between the lands (or the above-described lower pads instead of the lands) formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t and the pads 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control substrate 1510. part) can be said to have a low probability of pattern peeling.

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

In addition, the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x and back surface (solder surface, non-mounting surface) 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510, and the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are different from each other as described above. In addition, a green resist layer is formed with a green coating film to form a uniform color. By making the resists of the peripheral control board 1510 and the conversion board 1510t the same color (green) as described above, the presence of the conversion board 1510t can be made difficult for the peripheral control board 1510 to recognize, and the conversion board 1510t is not subject to fraud. It can be difficult to have the recognition of

In addition, on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, the mounting direction (mounting direction, the symbol indicating the arrangement position of the first terminal (triangle symbol (Δ))) 1510v3 of the control ROM 1510b is indicated against the green color of the resist. It is printed by silk printing on a solid green resist with a conspicuous white paint. As a result, when the resists of the peripheral control board 1510 and the conversion board 1510t are of the same color (green), it is difficult to determine the arrangement direction of the conversion board 1510t during mounting. The direction of the conversion board 1510t can be made easier to understand by indicating the position of one pin (arrangement position of the first terminal). In other words, since the peripheral control board 1510 has one pin position (the first terminal arrangement position) and the conversion board 1510t also has one pin position (the first terminal arrangement position), the peripheral control board 1510 and the conversion board 1510t Even if the resists are of the same color (green), the direction of the conversion substrate 1510t can be easily recognized.

The through-holes of the conversion board 1510t excluding the end face through-holes 1510tb are filled with an insulating resin. ) 1510tx and the back (non-mounting surface) 1510ty are processed so that they are flush with each other, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the through-hole hole are coated with a green coating film together with the land of the through-hole. Completely covered (filled with resin). As a result, the exposed metal portion of the through-hole is eliminated, thereby avoiding contact with, for example, the exposed metal portion of the through-hole formed in the peripheral control board 1510, thereby preventing the occurrence of electrical troubles.

This will be briefly explained with reference to FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 175, the through holes formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and the through holes formed in the conversion board 1510t may or may not overlap. If they happen to overlap, the through-hole formed in the peripheral control board 1510 and the through-hole formed in the conversion board 1510t are electrically connected to each other, resulting in conduction. The through holes formed in the substrate 1510t are filled with the resin described above.

Further, for example, if a board on which the ROM socket 1510s is mounted is provided with a connector for connecting to the peripheral control board 1510, and a board that is electrically connected to the connector on the side of the peripheral control board 1510 is considered, the mounted The control ROM installed in the peripheral control board box 1505 approaches the cover flat plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505, and the influence of external noise becomes strong. On the other hand, in the conversion board 1510t of this embodiment, the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t are connected by the above-described soldering while they are in surface contact. Therefore, the mounted control ROM 1510b can be kept away from the cover flat plate 1501a (substrate case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control substrate box 1505, thereby making it difficult to be affected by external noise.

The number of pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is 70 to correspond to the lead terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package. The control ROM 1510b having a package has 56 connection terminals on the bottom of the leadless package (the number of connection terminals may be less than 56). For this reason, the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 are not connected (non-connected), which are assigned in advance to the lead terminals of the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package, for example. In some cases, the number of NC terminals used is excessive as a result. Due to the presence of such excessive pads 1510v, soldering portions on the side of the peripheral control board 1510 (formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end surface through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t) 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. can contribute. In other words, the number of NC terminals is intentionally increased, and the soldering portion on the side of the peripheral control board 1510 (the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end surface through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the land formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t). The bonding surface of the soldered portion with the pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 is strengthened.

In addition, the inner peripheral walls 1510tba of the end face through holes 1510tb formed on both side surfaces of the conversion board 1510t are connected to the lands (or the lower pads described above instead of the lands) formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t. Since they are connected by (copper foil), the bonding strength can be increased compared to soldering using simple pads. The soldering part on the conversion board 1510t side (the soldering part between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t) is a pad only on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t, The soldering portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the land formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t (or the lower pad described above instead of the land ) and the pads 1510v formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510) are connected to the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) of the conversion board 1510t. 1510ty are connected by lands (or the lower pads described above instead of lands) (copper foil). A configuration with high bonding strength can be obtained.

Also, the shape of the pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion substrate 1510t is the same as the shape of the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control substrate 1510 (for example, 2.5 mm×0.5 mm). 5 mm rectangular shape), the same size, and the same distance dimension between pads (so-called pitch) (for example, 0.8 mm). ), the distance between two rows of pads 1510ta formed on 1510tx is smaller than the distance between two rows of pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of peripheral control board 1510. , is longer than the distance dimension (pitch) between pads. The end face through holes 1510tb formed on both sides of the conversion board 1510t are the same (for example, 0 .8 mm). The distance dimension of the end face through holes 1510tb formed on both sides of the conversion board 1510t (that is, the distance dimension between both sides of the conversion board 1510t) is the pad formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Of the distance dimension between two rows of 1510v, it is larger than the inner distance dimension of the pads 1510v between the two rows and smaller than the outer distance dimension of the pads 1510v between the two rows; It is longer than the distance dimension between two rows of pads 1510ta formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t. As a result, the lands (or the above-described lower pads instead of the lands) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t, and the peripheral control board 1510 By lengthening the pitch of the joint between the pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, the effect of preventing the deflection of the peripheral control board 1510 can be enhanced. Further, in order to further enhance the effect of preventing bending of the peripheral control board 1510, for example, the board thickness of the conversion board 1510t can be increased.

Also, the soldered portion on the conversion board 1510t side (the soldered portion between the lead terminal 1510sc of the ROM socket 1510s and the pad 1510ta formed on the conversion board 1510t) and the soldered portion on the peripheral control board 1510 side (the conversion board 1510t On the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb, the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t, and the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 The part to be soldered with the formed pad 1510v) can be surface-mounted in a state in which the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion substrate 1510t and the rear surface 1510y of the peripheral control substrate 1510 are in surface contact as described above. It has a configuration that allows As a result, the conversion board 1510t and the peripheral control board 1510 can be electrically connected without a gap, so that the distance between the cover plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505 and the cover plate 1501a can be increased. A connection method that is resistant to noise can be obtained.

In addition, the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t, and the peripheral control board 1510 By soldering to pads 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x, they are electrically connected through this solder. As a result, the conversion board 1510t and the peripheral control board 1510 can be electrically connected without a gap, so that the cover plate 1501a (board case) of the cover body 1501 of the peripheral control board box 1505 can be separated. A connection method that is resistant to noise can be obtained.

The through holes of the conversion board 1510t excluding the end face through holes 1510tb are filled with insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the holes of the through holes are connected to the surface (mounting surface) of the conversion board 1510t. ) 1510tx and the back (non-mounting surface) 1510ty are processed so that they are flush with each other, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the through-hole hole are coated with a green coating film together with the land of the through-hole. It is completely covered (filled with resin) and can be surface-mounted in a state where the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the rear surface 1510y of the peripheral control board 1510 are in surface contact, so that the conversion board is connected without gaps. Short circuit between 1510t and peripheral control board 1510 can be prevented.

In addition, although the control ROM 1510b is attached to and detached from the ROM socket 1510s, there is a possibility that the control ROM 1510b and the wiring pattern may be damaged due to manual intervention. Therefore, when the ROM socket 1510s is mounted on the conversion board 1510t and the wiring pattern formed on the control ROM 1510b or the conversion board 1510t is damaged, the conversion board 1510t is removed from the peripheral control board 1510 and replaced with a new one. , the peripheral control board 1510 can be used as it is (the same one).

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

In addition, the peripheral control soldered to the inner peripheral wall 1510tba of the end face through hole 1510tb of the conversion board 1510t and the land (or the lower pad described above instead of the land) formed on the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t. A pad 1510v formed on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the substrate 1510 is arranged near the above-described peripheral control IC 1510a. Since the peripheral control IC 1510a is an IC having a large package and is a surface-mounted electronic component, such a surface-mounted electronic component is particularly vulnerable to bending of the substrate (connection terminals and lead terminals of the electronic component are (There is a risk that it may peel off from the surface of the substrate). Therefore, by mounting the conversion board 1510t near the peripheral control IC 1510a, the bending of the peripheral control board 1510 can be reinforced.

In addition, even if the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package is changed to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless-type package, a conversion board 1510t having a ROM socket 1510s to which the control ROM 1510b having a leadless-type package can be attached and detached is mounted. is mounted on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, even if the package of the control ROM 1510b is changed, the shape and arrangement of the pads 1510v of the peripheral control board 1510 and the There is no need to correct the routing of the wiring pattern (the shape and arrangement of the pad 1510v and the routing of the wiring to the pad 1510v become the same), so that they can be used in common.

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

In addition, since the conversion board 1510t is surface-mounted on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 and fixed without any gap, the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty of the conversion board 1510t and the peripheral It is possible to make it difficult to incorrectly arrange an electronic component with respect to the gap between the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the control board 1510 and the surface 1510x.

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

Further, as described above, the control ROM 1510b is removed from the ROM socket 1510s using a special tool when the peripheral control board 1510 is reused or when a sampling inspection (sample) is performed to check for defects in the manufacturing process. be In other words, the conversion board 1510t on which the control ROM 1510b is mounted uses a dedicated tool from the ROM socket 1510s when the peripheral control board 1510 is reused, or when a sampling inspection (sample) is performed to check for defects in the manufacturing process. removed. When changing from the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, as described above, although it is necessary to use the conversion board 1510t, the lead terminals from the conversion board 1510t are directed to the outside. Therefore, even if a person who removes the conversion board 1510t on which the control ROM 1510b is mounted from the ROM socket 1510s using a dedicated tool accidentally drops the conversion board 1510t on which the control ROM 1510b is mounted, Unlike the control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package, the lead terminals are not bent, so that it can be prevented from becoming unusable.

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

Pads 1510v are arranged at positions corresponding to a plurality of lead terminals protruding outward from both longitudinal side surfaces of a lead-type ROM socket to which control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package is attached and detached. 1510x on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, and by changing the object to be soldered to this pad 1510v, a mechanism capable of coping with the change of the package has been adopted. mechanism may be adopted. For example, as shown in FIG. 176(a), lead terminals 1510sc (total of 70 terminals) of a lead-type ROM socket 1510s' to which a control ROM 1510b having a lead-type package is attached and detached are soldered to pads 1510v (that is, A conventional ROM socket 1510s' is used as it is), and a conversion board 1510t' to which a control ROM 1510b having a leadless package is soldered is placed on a mounting portion 1510sa' of the ROM socket 1510s'. , the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb' and 1510sb' are closed. The mounting portion 1510sa', the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb', 1510sb', and the plurality of lead terminals 1510sc' correspond to the mounting portion 1510sa and the pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb of the ROM socket 1510s shown in FIG. 173(a). , 1510sb and the plurality of lead terminals 1510sc, the description thereof is omitted here.

Pads, wiring patterns, and lands to which the control ROM 1510b having a leadless package is soldered are formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx' and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty' of the conversion board 1510t'. A green resist layer is formed by a green coating film formed by coating a layer (copper plane) with a green resist solution. On the conversion substrate 1510t', there are through holes having lands electrically connected to the wiring patterns formed on the front surface (mounting surface) 1510tx and the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "through holes"). ) are formed, and the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is plated with copper to have conductivity. The holes of the through holes are filled with insulating resin, and one end and the other end of the insulating resin closing the holes of the through holes are flush with the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx' and the back surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty'. The lands and the one end and the other end of the insulating resin that closes the through hole are completely covered with a green coating film (resin filling).

Projections projecting downward are formed at both longitudinal ends of the rear surface (non-mounting surface) 1510ty' of the conversion board 1510t', and pads are formed on the projections. The pads are arranged at positions corresponding to the lead terminals 1510sc' of the ROM socket 1510s', and 35 pads at one end and 35 pads at the other end form a total of 70 pads.

A conversion board 1510t' to which a control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package is soldered is placed on a mounting portion 1510sa' of a ROM socket 1510s', and a pair of rotation holding pieces 1510sb' and 1510sb' are closed. Then, as shown in FIG. 176(b), a point (central point) where a line connecting the centers of the upper and lower sides of the surface (mounting surface) 1510tx' of the conversion substrate 1510t' and a line connecting the centers of the left and right sides intersect, The points (center points) where the lines connecting the centers of the upper and lower sides of the ROM socket 1510s and the lines connecting the centers of the left and right sides of the ROM sockets 1510s are arranged so as to match (or substantially match).

When the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package is changed to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, the board management number of the peripheral control board 1510 must be corrected. is briefly described with reference to FIG. 177(a) to (c) are schematic diagrams showing board management numbers of peripheral control boards. It should be noted that when the components mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 are changed, it becomes necessary to change the board management number of the peripheral control board 1510 .

At a predetermined position (for example, one of the four corners of the peripheral control board 1510) on the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510, as shown in FIG. On the copper foil surface to be formed, a region formed by removing the copper foil is formed except for each terminal and wiring pattern, and a common part of the management number ( In the same figure, "XYZA") is used as a board management number, and foil-cut characters KBNUM are formed with a wiring pattern, and a green resist liquid is solidly coated on the surface (mounting surface) 1510 of the peripheral control board 1510 to form a foil-cut region KBRGN. The foil-cut characters KBNUM are covered, respectively.

When the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package is changed to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, for example, as shown in FIG. Symbol HKBNUM (alphabet A in the figure) is printed (engraved to a predetermined depth along the symbol HKBNUM from the surface) following the foil-cut characters KBNUM arranged in the box. For each replacement (including repair) of 1510t, a board management number ("XYZAA" in the figure) can be obtained by printing foil-cut characters KBNUM followed by symbol HKBNUM. Note that the board control number may be changed by erasing part of the foil-cut characters with a laser marker, or by erasing part of the foil-cut characters and adding characters. You can change the control number.

Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 177(c), the common part of the management number ("XYZ-" in the figure) is used as the substrate management number, and the foil-cut characters KBNUM are formed in the wiring pattern, and the foil-cut area KBRGN is formed. is another area and forms foil extraction areas RGN1, RGN2 and RGN3 in adjacent areas (immediately below the foil extraction area KBRGN in the figure), and symbols ( 1510 are formed by wiring patterns, and a green resist liquid is applied solidly to the surface (mounting surface) 1510 of the peripheral control board 1510 to form a foil-extracted area KBRGN and an area RGN1. , RGN2 and RGN3 are covered. Around the regions RGN1, RGN2 and RGN3, perforated holes are formed by a router so that the regions RGN1, RGN2 and RGN3 can be removed from the peripheral control board 1510. FIG. When the regions RGN1, RGN2, and RGN3 are not removed from the peripheral control board 1510, the board management number of the peripheral control board 1510 is "XYZA-ABC". When the control ROM 1510b having a lead type package is changed to the control ROM 1510b having a leadless type package, one, two or all of the regions RGN1, RGN2 and RGN3 are removed from the peripheral control board 1510. By doing so, the board control number can be obtained.

In addition, the peripheral control board 1510 is provided with a power generation circuit (not shown) that generates various power supply voltages. It is directly soldered in surface contact with the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of the peripheral control board 1510 . The surface (mounting surface) of the substrate is covered with a metallic cover member which is crimped so as to sandwich the end pieces of the substrate. When mounted on the peripheral control board 1510, the board of the power supply creation circuit is not a detachable electronic component. The peripheral control board 1510 itself is replaced instead of being directly soldered in surface contact with the surface (mounting surface) 1510x of 1510 .

In addition, conventionally, there is known a game machine provided with an effect control board on which electronic components such as ROM are mounted (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-217381 (paragraph [0061], FIG. 5)). However, conventional game machines have room for improvement in the method of mounting electronic components on the control board.

According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the peripheral control unit 1500 of FIG. 170, which is an effect control means for controlling game-related effects, is provided. The peripheral control unit 1500 includes a peripheral control board 1510 of FIG. 173 which is a control board, a ROM socket 1510s of FIG. 173 which is a ROM socket to which a control ROM 1510b of FIG. and a conversion board 1510t of FIG. 173, which is a specific board on which the socket 1510s is mounted. A surface (mounting surface) 1510x, which is a surface portion of the peripheral control board 1510, is formed with a position 1510v2 where the control ROM 1510b of FIG. Only the ROM socket 1510s is soldered and mounted on the conversion board 1510t.

In this way, the ROM socket 1510s is not mounted on the peripheral control board 1510, but is mounted on the conversion board 1510t, thereby reducing damage to the peripheral control board 1510 due to external force applied to the ROM socket 1510s. be able to. Therefore, the mounting method of the control ROM 1510b, which is an electronic component, to the peripheral control board 1510 can be changed to a new mode, and convenience can be improved.

Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment described above, the peripheral control unit 1500 of FIG. The peripheral control unit 1500 includes a peripheral control board 1510 of FIG. 173 which is a control board, a ROM socket 1510s of FIG. 173 which is a ROM socket to which a control ROM 1510b of FIG. and a conversion board 1510t of FIG. 173, which is a specific board on which the socket 1510s is mounted. A surface (mounting surface) 1510x, which is a surface portion of the peripheral control board 1510, is formed with a position 1510v2 where the control ROM 1510b of FIG. The conversion board 1510t includes pads 1510ta formed on a surface (mounting surface) 1510tx of the conversion board 1510t in FIG.

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

+5V generated by the +5V power generation circuit 630fa of the power generation circuit 630f is supplied to the payout control board 633 . +5V supplied to the payout control board 633 becomes +5V power supply line in the payout control board 633 through the payout control filter circuit 633h, is applied to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU633aa, payout control built-in RAM through the diode PD0 is applied to the power supply terminal of +12V generated by the +12V power generation circuit 630fb of the power generation circuit 630f is supplied to the +5V generation circuit 1310g of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. This +5V creation circuit 1310g creates +5V from +12V from the payout control board 633 as a local power source to be the control power source of the main control MPU 1310a. The +5V generated by the +5V generation circuit 1310g (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "main control board side generated +5V") passes through the main control filter circuit 1310h and the main control board side generated +5V power supply in the main control board 1310. line, which is supplied to the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM via the diode MD0. The +5V generated by the +5V power generation circuit 630fa of the power generation circuit 630f on the power supply board 630 and the +5V generated by the +5V generation circuit 1310g provided on the main control board 1310 (+5V generated on the main control board side) are electrically are not physically connected and are independent of each other.

The negative terminal of the capacitor BC1 of the power supply board 630 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the power supply board 630, while the positive terminal of the capacitor BC1 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control board 633. , and is electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode PD0 of the payout control board 633. That is, the +5V generated by the +5V power generation circuit 630fa of the power source generation circuit 630f in the power supply substrate 630 flows toward the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU 633aa, and the power supply of the payout control built-in RAM in the forward direction due to the diode PD0 A current flows toward the terminal and the positive terminal of capacitor BC1.

In this way, the capacitor BC1 is electrically connected to the power supply board 630 so that +5V generated by the +5V power supply generation circuit 630fa of the power supply generation circuit 630f returns to the payout control board 633, and again from the payout control board 633 to the power supply board 630. With such a connection method, +5V can be supplied and charged. As a result, when the +5V generated by the +5V power generation circuit 630fa of the power generation circuit 630f is no longer supplied to the payout control board 633, the charge charged in the capacitor BC1 is supplied to the payout control board 633 as payout VBB. Therefore, although the current does not flow to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU 633aa because it is blocked by the diode PD0, the payout control MPU 633aa does not operate, but the payout VBB is supplied to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM. The storage contents of the payout control built-in RAM are held by.

The negative terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the power supply board 630 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the power supply board 630, while the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0 is built in the main control of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. It is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the RAM and electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode MD0 of the main control board 1310 . That is, the +5V generated by the +5V generating circuit 1310g (+5V generated on the main control board side) flows toward the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM in the forward direction due to the diode MD0. , and the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0.

In this way, the capacitor BC0 is an electrical connection method in which +5V (+5V created by the main control board side) created by the +5V creation circuit 1310g is supplied to the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 to the power supply board 630. Therefore, +5 V generated on the main control board side is supplied and can be charged. As a result, the +12V generated by the +12V power generation circuit 630fb of the power generation circuit 630f in the power supply substrate 630 is no longer supplied to the +5V generation circuit 1310g of the main control substrate 1310 via the payout control substrate 633, and the +5V generation circuit 1310g is +5V. (main control board side creation +5V), the charge charged in the capacitor BC0 is supplied as the main VBB to the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 633. Therefore, although the main control MPU 1310a does not operate because the current is blocked by the diode MD0, the main control MPU 1310a does not operate. The stored contents of the built-in RAM are held.

[8-3. Power supply supplied to each control board, etc.]
Next, the outline about the power supply supplied to each control board etc. is demonstrated, Then, the power supply mainly supplied to a payout control board, and the power supply supplied to a main control board are demonstrated.

In particular, the +12V power line and the +24V power line are monitored for potential drop by a power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310, as will be described later. When the power failure warning signal is output to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 and the payout control MPU 633aa of the payout control board 633, the main control MPU 1310a executes the main control side power off processing in the main control side power on processing described later. The payout control MPU 633aa stops the progress of the payout (the operation of paying out game balls as prize balls) by performing the payout control unit power-off processing in the payout control unit power-on processing described later. It will be done.

Therefore, when the +12V fuse (not shown) and the +24V fuse (not shown) are provided in the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc., the main control board 1310 constituting the main board , when the payout control board 633 is operating normally, the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame main relay board 105, etc. Due to electrical trouble for some reason in the relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc., a leakage current or a short circuit may occur, and the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, etc. , +12V fuses and +24V fuses provided in the interface board 635, the door frame main relay board 104, the door frame clothing relay board 105, etc. are blown when an overcurrent flows through the door frame clothing relay board 105 and the like. be able to. This suppresses the decrease in the potential of the +12V power line and the +24V power line supplied to the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633, and the power failure warning signal is the main control by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310. No output to the MPU 1310a or the payout control MPU 633aa is required, and the main control MPU 1310a can continue the game without performing main control side power-off processing in the main control side power-on processing to be described later. The control MPU 633aa can continue the progress of the payout (the operation of paying out game balls as prize balls) without performing the payout control unit power-off processing in the payout control unit power-on processing described later.

The three types of power supplies of +5V, +12V, and +24V supplied to the peripheral control board 1510 are supplied to subsequent boards of the peripheral control board 1510 via +5V fuses, +12V fuses, and +24V fuses (not shown). ing.

In the peripheral control board 1510, when +24V is used and a +24V system driver circuit is provided as an electrical drive source (for example, a drive solenoid), the capacitance of the +24V fuse (not shown) is used as the capacity of the +24V power line on the peripheral control board. The current used by 1510 itself and the current used by subsequent boards via the peripheral control board 1510 are taken into account and set in advance. In the +24V fuse (not shown), when an overcurrent (abnormal current) exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the +24V power supply line peripheral control board flows, the element part of the +24V fuse (not shown) melts and power is supplied via the +24V fuse (not shown). cut off the +24V power supply line to the following.

When both the condition that the voltage of +24V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V2pf are satisfied, the logic HI signal is preset to the D-type flip-flop MIC22. Since the signal is input to the PR terminal, which is the terminal PR, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, becomes LOW and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR21 in the previous stage. transistor MTR21 is turned off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR21 in the preceding stage is pulled up to the +5V side created on the main control substrate side by the resistor MR32 and applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR22 in the subsequent stage, thereby turning ON the transistor MTR22 in the subsequent stage. . As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the subsequent transistor MTR22 is pulled down to the ground (GND) (substrate ground) side in the payout control board 633 via the wiring (harness), and the payout power outage in which the logic becomes LOW. A notice signal is input to the payout control board 633 .

On the other hand, when either one of the condition that the voltage of +24V is lower than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12V is lower than the power failure detection voltage V2pf is satisfied, the signal whose logic is LOW is D. Since the signal is input to the PR terminal, which is the preset terminal of the type flip-flop MIC22, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, becomes HIGH in logic and is applied to the base terminal of the preceding transistor MTR21. The input turns ON the transistor MTR21 in the previous stage. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR21 in the front stage is pulled down to the ground (GND) (substrate ground) and applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR22 in the rear stage, thereby turning off the transistor MTR22 in the rear stage. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the subsequent transistor MTR22 is pulled up to the +12V side by the pull-up resistor in the payout control input circuit 633ab of the payout control unit 633a in the payout control board 633 via the wiring (harness).

181, the main control output circuit 1310c that outputs the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, to the peripheral control board 1510 as the peripheral power outage warning signal is an open collector output type. The 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is electrically connected to the resistor MR26 of the main control input circuit 1310b and is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor MTR23 through the resistor MR35. It is connected to the. The base terminal of the transistor MTR23 is electrically connected to the resistor MR35, and also electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR36, one end of which is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (substrate ground). The emitter terminal of the transistor MTR23 is electrically connected to the ground (GND) (substrate ground), and the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 is electrically connected to the peripheral control board 1510 via wiring (harness). When the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 is electrically connected to the peripheral control board 1510 via wiring (harness), one end of the peripheral control input circuit (not shown) in the peripheral control board 1510 is connected to the +12V power supply line (power supply generator). It is electrically connected to the other end of a pull-up resistor (not shown) that is electrically connected to the power supply line generated and supplied by the +12V power generation circuit 630fb of the circuit 630f (that is, the +12V power supply line), and is also connected to the peripheral control unit. 1511 is electrically connected to an input terminal of a predetermined input port.

A circuit composed of the resistors MR35 and MR36 and the transistor MTR23 is a switch circuit that is turned ON/OFF by a signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

When the logic of the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is LOW, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR23 is pulled down to the ground (GND) (substrate ground) side, and the transistor The MTR 23 is turned off, and the switch circuit is also turned off. On the other hand, when the logic of the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is HI, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR23 is pulled up to +5 V created on the main control board side, and the transistor The MTR 23 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on.

When both the condition that the voltage of +24V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V2pf are satisfied, the logic HI signal is preset to the D-type flip-flop MIC22. Since the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is input to the PR terminal, which is the terminal PR, the logic becomes LOW and the signal is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR23. Turn off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 is pulled up to the +12V side by the pull-up resistor in the payout control input circuit of the peripheral control unit 4150 in the peripheral control board 1510 via the wiring (harness), and the logic becomes HI. is input to the peripheral control board 1510 .

On the other hand, when either one of the condition that the voltage of +24V is lower than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12V is lower than the power failure detection voltage V2pf is satisfied, the signal whose logic is LOW is D. Since the signal is input to the PR terminal, which is the preset terminal of the type flip-flop MIC22, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, becomes HI in logic and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR23. As a result, the transistor MTR23 is turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 is pulled down to the ground (GND) (substrate ground) side in the peripheral control board 1510 via the wiring (harness), and the peripheral power failure warning signal whose logic becomes LOW. is input to the peripheral control board 1510 .

In this way, a main control input circuit 1310b that transmits a signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, to the main control MPU 1310a as a blackout warning signal, and the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22. A main control output circuit 1310c that outputs a signal output from the peripheral control board 1510 as a peripheral power failure warning signal and a transistor each have one transistor, and the power failure warning signal input to the main control MPU 1310a and the peripheral control board 1510 The signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is applied to the payout control board 633 as the payout power outage notice signal. There are two transistors in the main control output circuit 1310c that outputs as , and the logic of the output power failure warning signal is input to the logic of the power failure warning signal input to the main control MPU 1310a and the peripheral control board 1510. The logic is the inversion of the logic of the peripheral power failure warning signal, which is different from the logic of the power failure warning signal and the logic of the peripheral power failure warning signal.

One end of the collector terminal of the transistor MTR20 of the main control input circuit 1310b is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR29 which is electrically connected to the +5V power supply line produced on the main control board side, and the input of the main control MPU 1310a. While electrically connected to the input terminal of the port PB, the collector terminal of the transistor MTR22 in the subsequent stage of the main control output circuit 1310c is connected to the payout control unit 633a in the payout control board 633 via wiring (harness). In the payout control input circuit 633ab, one end is electrically connected to the other end of a pull-up resistor electrically connected to the +12V power supply line, and the collector terminal of the transistor MTR23 of the main control output circuit 1310c is connected to the wiring (Harness), in the payout control input circuit of the peripheral control unit 4150 in the peripheral control board 1510, one end is electrically connected to a pull-up resistor electrically connected to the +12V power supply line. This is because the main control board 1310 connects the transistor MTR20 of the main control input circuit 1310b and the main control MPU 1310a between the collector terminal of the transistor MTR20 of the main control input circuit 1310b and the input terminal of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a. Since it is mounted on the main control board 1310a, the power failure warning is performed by the logic (ON / OFF signal) of the power failure warning signal using +5V created on the main control board side, which is the control power supply of the main control board 1310a, whereas the main control board 1310 and Between the payout control board 633 and between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510, the main Control MPU 1310a, payout control MPU 633aa, and control power supply for peripheral control unit 1511, for example, +12V, which is a DC power supply higher than +5V, is used for power failure warning signal logic (ON/OFF signal).

If some electrical trouble causes a leakage current or a short circuit, the potential of the +12V power supply line drops due to overcurrent. Then, a power failure warning signal is output to the main control MPU 1310a by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310, so that the main control MPU 1310a performs the main control side power failure processing in the main control side power on processing to be described later.

In addition, some electrical trouble may occur in wiring patterns formed on boards such as the peripheral control board 1510 that supplies the +24V power supply line and the boards subsequent to the peripheral control board 1510, wiring (harnesses) that electrically connects between boards, and the like. As a result, the potential of the +24V power supply line drops even when a leakage current occurs or a short circuit occurs. Then, a power failure warning signal is output to the main control MPU 1310a by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310, so that the main control MPU 1310a performs main control side power failure processing in the main control side power on processing to be described later.

The +12V supplied via a +12V fuse (not shown) as the fuse of the first branch system is used to create a liquid crystal panel power supply in a liquid crystal panel power supply creation circuit (not shown), and this liquid crystal panel power supply is supplied to the effect display device 1600 (not shown). Since it is supplied to the liquid crystal panel, backlight, and drive circuit, it is supplied to the liquid crystal panel, backlight, and drive circuit (not shown) of the effect display device 1600 via a +12V fuse (not shown) as the fuse of the first branch system. and +12V supplied via a +12V fuse (not shown) as a branch second system fuse.

In this embodiment, when the main control board 1310 constituting the main board and the payout control board 633 are operating normally, in the +12 V power supply line of the peripheral control board 1510, a control power generation circuit (not shown) of the peripheral control board 1510 If an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the +12V power supply line peripheral control board flows to the control power generation circuit (not shown) due to an electrical trouble for some reason, the +12V fuse (not shown) of the peripheral control board 1510 will blow. It's becoming In this way, a +12V fuse (not shown) is provided on the peripheral control board 1510 so that an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the +12V power supply line peripheral control board blows the +12V fuse (not shown). , By suppressing the decrease in the potential of the +12V power supply line supplied to the payout control board 633, the power failure warning signal is not output to the main control MPU 1310a or the payout control MPU 633aa by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310. The control MPU 1310a can continue the game without performing the processing when the power is turned off on the main control side in the processing when the main control power is turned on, which will be described later. The progress of the payout (the operation of paying out the game ball as a prize ball) can be continued without performing the payout control unit power-off processing in .

Further, in this embodiment, when the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 constituting the main board are operating normally, the liquid crystal panel (not shown) of the effect display device 1600 is connected to the +12V power supply line of the effect display device 1600. If an overcurrent exceeding the allowable current upper limit of the branch 1 system flows to the liquid crystal panel power generation circuit (not shown) due to an electrical trouble for some reason in the power generation circuit, the fuse of the branch 1 system of the effect display device 1600 A +12V fuse (not shown) is blown. Also, in this embodiment, due to an electrical trouble for some reason in the liquid crystal panel, the backlight, and the drive circuit (not shown) of the effect display device 1600, the voltage is supplied through the +12V fuse (not shown) as the fuse of the second branch system. A liquid crystal panel power source is created from the +12 V that is branched to a liquid crystal panel power source generation circuit (not shown). The fuse is blown, and the liquid crystal panel, backlight, and driving circuit (not shown) of the effect display device 1600 may be damaged due to an electrical problem for some reason. When an overcurrent exceeding the allowable current upper limit of the second branch system flows to any of the drive circuits, etc., the +12V fuse (not shown) of the second branch system of the effect display device 1600 is blown. In this embodiment, the +12V fuse (not shown), which is the main fuse of the effect display device 1600, has a capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) which is the fuse of the first branch system and the fuse of the second branch system. A +12V fuse (not shown) is selected in advance with a larger capacity than any of the fuses and smaller capacity than the sum of the two fuses. For this reason, the +12V fuse (not shown), which is the main fuse, is a +12V fuse (not shown) that is the fuse of the first branch system, a +12V fuse (not shown) that is the fuse of the second branch system, and Even if an overcurrent flows and one of the fuses blows, if the overcurrent still flows through the system of the blown fuse and exceeds the upper limit of the allowable current, the fuse may blow. As the capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) which is the main fuse of the effect display device 1600, the capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) which is the fuse of the first branch system and the capacity of the fuse (not shown) for +12V which is the fuse of the second branch system. When the fuse capacity and the fuse capacity are the same, the +12V fuse (not shown), which is the main fuse, and the +12V fuse (not shown), which is the branch first system fuse, in the +12V power supply line. , and the +12V fuse (not shown), which is the fuse of the branch second system, if an overcurrent flows and one of the fuses blows, overcurrent still flows through this blown fuse system and the main allowable current upper limit is reached. , the fuse for +12V (not shown), which is the fuse of the first branch system, and the fuse for +12V (not shown), which is the fuse of the second branch system, may be blown. If you also melt it, it melts. In this way, the effect display device 1600 has a +12V fuse (not shown) that is the main fuse of the effect display device 1600, a +12V fuse (not shown) that is the fuse of the first branch system, and a +12V fuse (not shown) that is the fuse of the second branch system. A fuse for +12V (not shown) which is the primary fuse, a fuse for +12V (not shown) which is the fuse for the first branch system, and a fuse for +12V (not shown) which is the fuse for the second branch system are blown by overcurrent. Therefore, the decrease in the potential of the +12V power line supplied to the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 is suppressed, and the power failure warning signal is sent by the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 to the main control MPU 1310a and payout Without outputting to the control MPU 633aa, the main control MPU 1310a can continue the game progress without performing the main control side power-off processing in the main control side power-on processing described later, and the payout control MPU 633aa , it is possible to continue the progress of the payout (the operation of paying out game balls as prize balls) without performing the payout control unit power-off processing in the payout control unit power-on processing described later.

Further, in this embodiment, when the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 constituting the main board are operating normally, the following board of the peripheral control board When the +12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 is driven by the +12V system driver circuit (not shown) (or the +12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 is on standby. ), due to overload or electrical trouble for some reason, the +12V electrical drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 or the +12V driver circuit (not shown) exceeds the upper limit of the allowable current of the drive motor on the game board side. When an overcurrent flows, a fuse provided in a +12V system driver circuit (not shown) is blown. The +12V supplied through the +12V fuse (not shown) of the board succeeding the peripheral control board 1510 is supplied not only to the +12V system driver circuit (not shown) but also to each decoration board of the game board 5. The capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) is selected in advance based on the upper limit of the allowable current of the +12V system driver circuit on the game board side and the upper limit of the allowable current of each decoration board on the game board 5. ing.

Since the +12V electric drive source (driving motor) of the game board 5 requires a considerable amount of current to drive, the performance by the +12V electric drive source (driving motor) of the game board 5 and each decorative board of the game board 5 Among the various LED light emission effects, the light emission effects of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5 are given priority over the effect by the +12V electric drive source (driving motor) of the game board 5. It has become. For this reason, the game board is designed so that the fuses provided in the +12V system driver circuit (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510 are melted before the +12V fuses (not shown) of the decoration boards of the game board 5 are melted. 5 and the capacity of the fuse provided in the +12V system driver circuit (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510 are selected in advance. The +12V power supply (not shown) of the board following the peripheral control board 1510 is used so that the lighting effect of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5 can be given priority over the effect by the system electric drive source (driving motor). The capacity of the fuse is preset.

In the case of continuing the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decoration board of the game board 5 with priority over the effect by the +12V system electric drive source (driving motor) of the game board 5, for example, the following board of the peripheral control board 1510 The capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) is larger than the capacity selected so that each decoration board of the game board 5 can be used up to the upper limit of the allowable current of the decoration board on the game board side, and this selected capacity is not shown. If a fuse smaller than the capacity of the fuse provided in the +12V system driver circuit is selected in advance, the +12V fuse (not shown) is connected to each of the game board side decoration boards of the game board 5. When the upper limit of the allowable current is used, an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the drive motor on the game board side flows into the +12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 and the +12V system driver circuit (not shown). Even if the fuse provided in the +12V system driver circuit is blown, it may be blown if an overcurrent still flows and exceeds the allowable current upper limit of the +12V power supply line production drive board. Also, for example, as the capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510, the capacity selected so that each decoration board of the game board 5 can use up to the upper limit of the allowable current of the game board side decoration board, If the capacity of the fuse provided in the +12V system driver circuit not shown is selected in advance, the +12V fuse (not shown) is connected to each of the decoration boards of the game board 5. When the board is used up to the upper limit of allowable current, an overcurrent exceeding the upper limit of the allowable current of the drive motor on the game board side flows into the +12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 and the +12V system driver circuit (not shown). Even if the fuse provided in the +12V system driver circuit is not blown, it may be blown if overcurrent still flows and exceeds the allowable current upper limit of the +12V power supply line production drive board.

Of the effect by the +12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 and the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decoration board of the game board 5, the +12V system electric drive source (drive motor) of the game board 5 Contrary to the case where the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5 is given priority over the effect by the motor), the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5 is prioritized. 5, the +12V system electric drive source (driving motor) preferentially continues, rather than blowing the fuse provided in the +12V system driver circuit (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510, the game board 5, the capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) of each decoration board of the game board 5 and the +12V system driver circuit (not shown) of the subsequent board of the peripheral control board 1510 are adjusted so that the +12V fuse (not shown) of each decoration board of 5 blows first. The capacity of the fuse provided in the game board 5 is selected in advance, and the effect by the +12V electric drive source (driving motor) of the game board 5 is given priority over the light emission effect of various LEDs by each decorative board of the game board 5. The capacity of the +12V fuse (not shown) of the substrate subsequent to the peripheral control substrate 1510 is set in advance so that the operation can be continued.

Next, the main control board box 1320 that houses the main control board 1310 that controls the progress of the game will be described with reference to FIG. Here, an example in which the setting key switches 1311a mounted on the setting change board 1311 described above are mounted on the main control board 1310 and only the main control board 1310 is accommodated in the main control board box 1320 will be described. FIG. 183 is a perspective view (a) of the main control board box showing a state before the main control board is attached to the cover body and the base body is slid to cover the opening side of the cover body. is a perspective view (b) of the main control board box sealed by a sealing mechanism.

In the pachinko machine 1, the main control board 1310 is an important board for controlling the progress of the game. For this reason, it is necessary to prevent the main control board 1310 from being illegally altered to acquire illegal game balls. Therefore, the main control board 1310 is accommodated in a main control board box 1320 composed of a transparent cover body 1301 and a transparent base body 1302, and the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are a sealing mechanism.

Main control board box 1320 can be closed by crimping cover body 1301 and base body 1302 with a one-way screw or the like of crimping part 1303 using one sealing mechanism. must destroy its sealing mechanism. That is, the cover body 1301 cannot be removed from the base body 1302 unless the sealing mechanism is destroyed.

As described above, the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are made of polycarbonate resin and molded transparently. A main control board 1310 can be accommodated in the internal space formed by the cover body 1301 and the base body. Since the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are molded transparently from polycarbonate resin, the state of the mounting surface (front surface) and solder surface (rear surface) of the main control board 1310 (unauthorized modification is prevented). or whether an illegal IC is mounted) can be confirmed from the outside of the main control board box 1320 . Further, the main control board box 1320 has a plurality of sealing mechanisms corresponding to the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302. When the main control board box 1320 is closed using one sealing mechanism, the following In order to open the main control board box 1320, the sealing mechanism must be destroyed, and the opening and closing of the main control board box 1320 can be left behind. Therefore, by looking at the traces of opening and closing, it is possible to detect unauthorized opening and closing of the main control board box 1320, and the deterrence against tampering with the main control board 1310 is enhanced.

Briefly describing the method of assembling the main control board box 1320, as shown in FIG. The various connectors MCN1 to MCN8 and a part of the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310 are exposed from the corresponding openings formed in the cover body 1301, respectively. Subsequently, the fixing screws are inserted through the through holes formed at the four corners of the main control board 1310 from the soldering surface (rear surface) of the main control board, respectively, toward the mounting boss holes formed at the four inner corners of the cover body 1301 . The main control board 1310 can be fixed to the inner space of the cover body 1301 by screwing it in. As shown in FIG. Subsequently, the base body 1302 is placed in a predetermined position so as to substantially block the opening side of the cover body 1301, and the base body 1302 is moved in a specific direction (the direction of the arrow in the figure) along the longitudinal direction of the cover body 1301. The outer peripheral surface of the base member 1302 is slid toward the inner peripheral surface of the cover member 1301 by sliding (movement distance dimension sd), and the opening side of the cover member 1301 is completely closed, so that the cover member 1301 and the base member 1302 are separated. The main control board 1310 is accommodated in the space formed by . Subsequently, the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 are screwed and crimped with a one-way screw or the like of the crimping portion 1303, thereby fixing the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 as shown in FIG. The control board box 1320 is sealed (ie the main control board box 1320 can be closed).

In addition, on the inner wall of the cover body 1301, when the main control board 1310 is attached to the bottom surface of the cover body 1301, a cover body side rib portion 1301rb is provided which can contact the outer periphery of the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310. A plurality of them are formed separated by a predetermined distance dimension. In addition, a plurality of base body side rib portions 1302rb are formed on the base body 1302 with a predetermined distance dimension therebetween so as to be able to abut on the outer periphery of the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 . When the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320, the main control board 1310 has a plurality of cover body side rib portions 1301rb formed on the cover body 1301 and a plurality of base body side rib portions 1302rb formed on the base body 1302. It will be in a state of being arranged (sandwiched) in the gap (space) formed by.

Further, the base body 1302 is formed with a protruding portion 1302p capable of contacting the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310. ing. When the setting key is inserted into the setting key switch 1311a, the protruding portion 1302p contacts the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 when the main control board 1310 bends due to the force of the insertion. As a result, the main control board 1310 can be prevented from further bending and bending, and disconnection of the wiring pattern formed on the main control board 1310 and peeling of solder can be prevented.

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

The setting key switch 1311a is of a type in which a resin setting key cylinder into which a setting key is inserted and rotated is housed inside a resin outer cylinder (hereinafter referred to as a "resin type cylinder"). setting key switch 1311a"), and a metal setting key cylinder into which a setting key is inserted and turned to be operated is accommodated in a metal cylindrical outer cylinder. (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "metal type setting key switch 1311a"), and the like. The resin-type setting key switch 1311a and the metal-type setting key switch 1311a have the same structure, but are partially different in material.

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

The front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa is arranged substantially flush with the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab. A front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab is provided with an insertion port 1311aba into which a metal setting key is inserted. As shown in FIG. 184(c), the setting key made of metal is operated when the rotational position of the setting key cylinder 1311ab is at the insertion/removal reference position 1311aaa formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa (that is, the setting key of the setting key switch 1311a). Insert the setting key into the insertion opening 1311aba formed on the front surface of the cylinder 1311ab at a position where the setting key is ready to be inserted (at a position where the longitudinal direction of the rectangular insertion opening 1311aba is along the vertical direction). and can be pulled out from the insertion port 1311aba. The base body 1311ac has a pair of projecting pieces 1311ada, 1311ada formed on the frame plate 1311ad, and two brass lead terminals are spaced apart from each side by a predetermined distance from the side rotated 90 degrees. right side and left side).

In the figure, the COM1 terminal as the upper lead terminal on the left side and the COM2 terminal as the lower lead terminal on the left side are common terminals, and either one or both terminals can be used. When the rotation position of the setting key cylinder 1311ab is at the insertion/removal reference position 1311aaa formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa, the A terminal that is the upper lead terminal on the right side and the B terminal that is the lower lead terminal on the right side are connected to the base. A circuit formed in the body 1311ac electrically connects the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal, and the A terminal, thereby electrically connecting the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal, and the B terminal, thereby disconnecting the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal, and the B terminal. When the setting key cylinder 1311ab is rotated by 60 degrees from the insertion/removal reference position 1311aaa formed on the outer cylinder 1311aa, The circuit formed on the base body 1311ac electrically disconnects and cuts off the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal, and the A terminal, and electrically connects and conducts the COM1 terminal, the COM2 terminal, and the B terminal ( As a result, the ON signal of the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted). The distance between the terminals COM1 and COM2 and the distance between the terminals A and B are the same.

A pair of projecting pieces 1311ada, 1311ada projecting from a metal frame plate 1311ad to the rear of the base body 1311ac are soldered to the soldering surface (rear surface) of the main control board 1310, thereby mainly operating the setting key switch 1311a. It can be fixed to the control board 1310 . The A terminal, B terminal, COM1 terminal, and COM2 terminal of the base body 1311ac are soldered to the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 . On the back side of the base body 1311ac, when the setting key switch 1311a is mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310, the insertion/removal reference position 1311aaa faces upward as shown in FIG. A columnar projecting portion (not shown) for designating the arrangement direction of the switch 1311a protrudes. Due to this columnar protrusion, when the operator of the manufacturer mounts the setting key switch 1311a on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310, for example, the setting key switch 1311a is turned upside down (incorrectly) and soldered. You can prevent it from being attached.

When a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, even if electromagnetic wave noise enters through the metal setting key, the resin type setting key switch will 1311a has the outer cylinder 1311aa, the setting key cylinder 1311ab, and the base body 1311ac, which are each molded from a non-conductive resin, as described above. has no effect.

[11-2. Metal type setting key switch]
Next, the metal type setting key switch 1311a includes a metal cylindrical outer cylinder 1311aa and a metal setting key cylinder into which a setting key is inserted and rotated inside the outer cylinder 1311aa. 1311ab and 1311ab have the same configuration as the resin type setting key switch 1311a in that the material is different in the same configuration as the resin type setting key switch 1311a. Further, the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are made of metal and are electrically connected to each other. Although the outer cylinder 1311aa is connected to the non-conductive resin base body 1311ac, the metal frame plate 1311ad has a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa at a position corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa. It covers the surface and side surfaces of the base body 1311ac. That is, when a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, if electromagnetic wave noise enters through the metal setting key, as described above, the outer cylinder 1311aa and Since the setting key cylinder 1311ab is electrically connected, there is a possibility that electromagnetic wave noise may enter the metal frame plate 1311ad.

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

The front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is provided with the insertion port 1311aba into which the metal setting key is inserted, as described above. When the main control board 1310 is accommodated in the main control board box 1320, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) is separated from the cover body 1301 of the main control board box. As shown in FIG. 185, the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 has a diameter ( For example, a tubular rib portion 1301za having a predetermined distance dimension toward the main control board 1310 along the inner circumference of the through hole 1301z having a diameter 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the setting key cylinder 1311ab. has the same thickness as the thickness of the cover body 1301). The inner periphery of the through-hole 1301z and the inner periphery of the tubular rib portion 1301za communicate with each other so as to form the same inner peripheral surface without steps. As a result, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane ( flush).

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

The diameter of the through-hole 1301z is designed to fit inside the rectangular surface shape of the base body 1311ac having the rectangular parallelepiped shape of the setting key switch 1311a. The edge of the rib portion 1301za and the surface of the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a are separated by a distance dimension d1 (approximately 2 mm in this embodiment). 1311ad is configured so as not to be directly touched by a person accessing the setting key switch 1311a.

As a result, the gap between the through hole 1301z and the rib portion 1310za of the cover body 1301 and the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a (in this embodiment, the diameter of the through hole 1301z is 2 mm larger than the outer diameter of the setting key cylinder 1311ab). The diameter of the through-hole 1301z is the surface shape of the base body 1311ac having the cuboid of the setting key switch 1311a even if an elongated irregular tool such as a wire is inserted into the hole 1301z. Since it is formed so as to be accommodated inside the rectangular shape, the tip of the elongated unauthorized tool is bent against the surface of the base body 1311ac and cannot enter toward the main control board 1310 . In other words, it is possible to prevent the main control board 1310 from being modified.

In the resin-type setting key switch 1311a, as described above, the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are molded of non-conductive resin. Even if a finger approaches or touches the front surface of the key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab), electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge is transmitted through the setting key switch 1311a to the main control board. Intrusion into 1310 can be prevented. The distance d1 is between the end of the rib portion 1301za formed along the outer periphery of the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover 1301 and the surface of the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a. (In this embodiment, about 2 mm). Also, it becomes difficult for electromagnetic wave noise due to electrostatic discharge to enter the metal frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a through the through hole 1301z and the rib portion 1301za. Intrusion into 1310 can be prevented.

In the metal type setting key switch 1311a, as described above, the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are molded of metal, and the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key cylinder 1311ab are electrically connected. It is in a state of Although the outer cylinder 1311aa is connected to the non-conductive resin base body 1311ac, the metal frame plate 1311ad has a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa at a position corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa. It covers the surface and side surfaces of the base body 1311ac. In other words, if a person charged with static electricity brings his or her finger close to or touches the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover 1301 or its surroundings, electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge is transmitted between the outer cylinder 1311aa and the setting key. Since the cylinder 1311ab is electrically connected, there is a possibility that electromagnetic wave noise may enter the metal frame plate 1311ad. For this reason, if a person charged with static electricity approaches or touches the through hole 1301z of the non-conductive resin cover body 1301 or its periphery, electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge will be generated on the metal frame plate 1311ad. and enter the main control board 1310 via the setting key switch 1311a.

In addition, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane. 1), when a worker attaches the game board 5 to the main body frame 4 of the pachinko machine 1 installed in the island facility of the game hall, first, the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 and its surroundings Since the game board 5 is temporarily placed, it is possible to prevent the setting key switch 1311a from colliding with the floor and being damaged when the worker's leg accidentally hits the game board 5 during work and overturns the temporarily placed game board 5.例文帳に追加can. In addition, the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane. Therefore, even when the game board 5 is removed from the main body frame 4 of the pachinko machine 1, the removed game board 5 is temporarily placed on the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 or around it. It is possible to prevent the setting key switch 1311a from colliding with the floor and being damaged when the operator's leg accidentally strikes the game board 5 and overturns the game board 5 during work.

The front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab) and the surface (front surface) of the cover body 1301 of the main control board box are arranged on the same plane. 1), a protective cover (the protective cover is made of polycarbonate resin and is transparent) protects the front surface of the setting key switch 1311a (that is, the front surface of the outer cylinder 1311aa and the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab). ) may be provided on the cover body 1301 .

[11-4. Relationship between the setting key switch and the base body of the main control board box]
Here, the relationship between the setting key switch 1311a and the base body 1302 of the main control board box 1320 will be described with reference to FIGS. 185 to 187. FIG. FIG. 186 is a diagram (a) showing the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board on which the setting key switches are mounted, and the main control board corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board on which the setting key switches are mounted. FIG. 1B is a view (part 1) (b) showing the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board, and is a view showing the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board on which the setting key switches are mounted and the corresponding solder surface (back surface) of the main control board. (Part 2) (c). FIG. 187 is a continuation of FIG. 186 and is a diagram (part 3) (d) showing the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board on which the setting key switches are mounted and the corresponding solder surface (rear surface) of the main control board. 4 is a diagram (part 4) (e) showing the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board on which the setting key switches are mounted and the corresponding solder surface (rear surface) of the main control board.

When the main control board 1310 is accommodated in the main control board box 1320, as described above, the main control board 1310 has a plurality of cover side ribs 1301rb formed on the cover body 1301 and a plurality of bases formed on the base body 1302. It is arranged (held) in a gap (space) formed by the body side rib portion 1302rb. As described above, the base body 1302 has a projection capable of contacting the solder surface (back surface) of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310. A portion 1302p is formed. When the metal setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, the protruding portion 1302p bends and bends the main control board 1310 due to the inserted force. By coming into contact with the solder surface (back surface) of the substrate 1310, the main control substrate 1310 is prevented from further bending and bending, and disconnection of the wiring pattern formed on the main control substrate 1310 and peeling of the solder are prevented. It can be prevented.

When the main control board 1310 is accommodated in the main control board box 1320 and the metal setting key is not inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab (or the setting key cylinder 1311ab is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to be turned ON, and the setting key is released to release the pressing of the setting key)), as shown in FIG. and the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p are separated by a distance dimension d2 (about 1 mm in this embodiment) as a clearance.

Long through holes SLH1 and SLH2 (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “long through holes SLH1 and SLH2”) having a pair of shaped lands facing each other are formed in the vertical direction of main control board 1310 . through-holes SLTH1 and SLTH2 (hereinafter simply " through-holes SLTH1, SLTH2") and two lead terminals COM1 terminal and COM2 terminal formed on the left side surface of the base body 1311ac of the setting key switch 1311a can be inserted. Through holes SLTH3 and SLTH4 having a pair of lands (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "through holes SLTH3 and SLTH4") have a rotation angle of 90 degrees with a pair of opposing long through holes SLH1 and SLH2. are formed on the main control board 1310 respectively.

The main control board 1310 is mounted on the main control board 1310 with a through hole SSTD through which a cylindrical projecting portion (not shown) can be inserted to specify the arrangement direction of the setting key switch 1311a provided on the back side of the base body 1311ac of the setting key switch 1311a. When the setting key switch 1311a is mounted on the surface (surface) 1310x, it is on the center line in the left-right direction of the setting key switch 1311a and is surrounded by the through holes SLTH1, SLTH2, SLTH3, SLTH4 and the long through holes SLH1, SLH2. formed within the

The solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 includes, for example, as shown in FIG. A vertical straight wiring pattern SPTN1 for electrically connecting the through hole SLTH3 into which the COM1 terminal is inserted and soldered is formed by being routed in a straight line along the vertical direction of the main control board 1310 . That is, since the vertical straight wiring pattern SPTN1 is routed straight from the through hole SLTH4 toward the through hole SLTH4, its length is the minimum length.

In addition, on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, a through hole SLTH3 through which the COM1 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted and soldered, and the A terminal of the setting key switch 1311a are inserted and soldered. A horizontal straight wiring pattern SPTN2 electrically connecting the through hole SLTH1 is formed linearly along the horizontal direction (longitudinal direction) of the main control board. That is, the left-right direction straight wiring pattern SPTN2 is drawn in a straight line from the through hole SLTH3 toward the through hole SLTH1 in parallel with the lower side of the main control board 1310, so its length is the minimum length. there is

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

It should be noted that, following such an announcement sound, an announcement sound that tells how to operate the setting keys after the setting values are determined may be played from various speakers. Also, while the announcement sound is playing, the effect display device 1600 may display an image of "setting".

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a sticker is affixed to the cover 1301 of the main control board box 1320 as a notation that serves as location information that can convey the location of the RWM switch 633d. When the setting is changed, an announcement voice may be played from various speakers to indicate where the RWM switch 633d, which also functions as a setting switching button, is arranged. Specifically, for example, by transmitting a predetermined command to the peripheral control board 1510 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on and the main control MPU 1310a performs a setting change process in which the setting value can be changed and determined, the peripheral The control of the control board 1510 tells where the RWM switch 633d is placed. please” is repeatedly played from various speakers. This eliminates the need to search for the sticker stuck on the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 . Although such an announcement sound is played repeatedly from various speakers, assuming that the contents of the announcement sound may be overlooked, before the next announcement sound starts to flow, the cover body 1301 of the main control board box 1320 is pasted. By visually checking the seal, the location of the RWM switch 633d can be known. In addition to the announcement voice, "The RWM switch is on the payout control board. The RWM switch also serves as a setting switching button. Please operate the RWM switch to change the setting value." You may also make it guide the content which tells the place where the seal which shows is stuck. When the RWM switch is operated, the main control MPU 1310a transmits a predetermined command to the peripheral control board 1510, whereby the peripheral control board 1510 stops the announcement sound. Even if the person who changes the setting value has become accustomed to changing the setting value by the work and it is annoying, if the RWM switch is operated immediately after starting the work, this will be a trigger. It is possible to quickly stop the announcement sound, and even if it is necessary to do the work after the opening of the game hall, the work can be started immediately so as not to inconvenience the players. When the RWM switch is operated at this time, the announcement sound can be quickly stopped. It should be noted that, following such an announcement sound, an announcement sound that tells how to operate the setting keys after the setting values are determined may be played from various speakers. Also, while the announcement sound is playing, the effect display device 1600 may display an image of "setting".

[11-6. Procedure for changing setting values, procedure for checking and displaying set values]
Next, the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310, the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633, and the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310 ), the base monitor 1310h also functioning as a setting display will be briefly described. Here, first, the case of changing setting values will be briefly described, and the case of displaying the current setting values for confirmation will be briefly described. In addition, since the setting key is an important key that can be used not only to change the setting value but also to check the current setting value, etc., only a limited number of people, including the manager of the game hall, can possess it. Permitted and limited to 2-3 people.

When changing the settings of the set values, when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily), the body frame is changed to the outer frame 2. 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab moves clockwise 60 degrees. The setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by being turned ON once, and the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 is operated. The "predetermined setting value change permission condition" must be satisfied. In other words, the person who actually changes the setting value must first confirm that the power of the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off), and then check the outer frame 2. Perform the work of opening the body frame 4, then insert a metal setting key into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and turn it clockwise by 60 degrees to turn it on. , the setting key switch 1311a is turned on, and then the power switch 630a is operated while operating the depressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1. FIG.

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

As described above, the base monitor 1310h is composed of six 7-segment LED indicators with decimal points (so-called dots) arranged in a line, and can display numerical values up to 6 digits. is. When the base monitor 1310h functions as a setting display, the set value is displayed on the rightmost 7-segment LED display among the six 7-segment LED displays arranged in a row (that is, the 6-digit (In this case, the dot may be lit or extinguished. The dot may also function as a setting change permission lamp. In this case, the LED is lit while the setting is being changed, and is turned off when the setting is changed.), one of the six 7-segment LED displays in a row indicator, multiple 7-segment LED displays, or all 7-segment LED displays (in this case, the dots may be lit or unlit; the dots may be set to allow setting changes). In the case where it also functions as a lamp, it may be turned on while the setting is being changed, and turned off when the setting is changed.).

A person who changes the set value presses the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633, and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is sent from the payout control board 633. It is input to the main control MPU 1310 a of the control board 1310 . Each time the person who changes the setting of the set value presses the push operation portion of the RWM switch 633d, the main control MPU 1310a increases the current set value by one based on the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d. When the set value reaches 6, which is the maximum value, it returns to the set value 1, which is the initial value, and is again incremented by 1. Control is performed to display the set value on the base monitor 1310h, which also functions as a setting display.

When determining the setting value, the person who changes the setting value must move the setting key switch 1311a from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key is turned ON to the initial position (that is, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on). It is rotated counterclockwise by 60 degrees so as to return to the turning position of the setting key cylinder to be turned off, and is turned off. This setting key OFF signal is input to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 . As a result, the main control MPU 1310a stores the set value determined by changing the setting in a specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a, and sends the set value to the base monitor 1310h that also functions as a setting indicator. Switching from the display state to the non-display state, after or immediately after, it is collected from the specific area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a by the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a divided and formed on the game board 5 Control is performed to display the number of game balls (total number) on the base monitor 1310h.

When confirming and displaying the set values currently set, when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily), the outer frame 2 The main body frame 4 is opened, the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to turn ON. Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy the "predetermined setting value display permission condition" that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON and the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d is not operated. In other words, the person who actually confirms and displays the setting values that are currently set must first confirm that the power of the pachinko machine 1 is not turned on (the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off), and then After the body frame 4 is opened from the frame 2, a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and turned clockwise by 60 degrees. , the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by turning ON the setting key switch 1311a, and then the power switch 630a is operated to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 without operating the depressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d.

The person who confirms and displays the currently set setting value must first confirm that the pachinko machine 1 is not powered on (the power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off), and then Next, a metal setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees. is turned on, the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. Subsequently, the pachinko machine 1 is powered on by operating the power switch 630a without operating the depressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d. As a result, a setting key ON signal is input to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 . The main control MPU 1310a controls the current setting value stored in the specific area of the built-in RAM (set value 1 to set value 6 at the time when the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON). set value) is displayed on the base monitor 1310h which also functions as a setting display. At this time, even if the person who confirms and displays the currently set setting value presses the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d, the setting value is not changed at all in response to this pressing operation, and the setting display is displayed. The content displayed in 1310g is also unchanged.

As described above, the base monitor 1310h is composed of six 7-segment LED indicators with decimal points (so-called dots) arranged in a line, and can display numerical values up to 6 digits. is. When the base monitor 1310h functions as a setting display, the set value is displayed on the rightmost 7-segment LED display among the six 7-segment LED displays arranged in a row (that is, the 6-digit (In this case, the dot may be lit or extinguished. The dot may also function as a setting change permission lamp. In this case, it lights up when the currently set value is being checked, and turns off when the currently set value has been checked.) Of the 7-segment LED indicators, the set value is displayed on one 7-segment LED indicator, a plurality of 7-segment LED indicators, or all 7-segment LED indicators (in this case, the dot may be lit or In addition, if the dot also functions as a setting change permission lamp, it is lit when the currently set value is being checked, and the currently set value is displayed. It may be turned off when confirmation of the set value is completed.).

After confirming the currently set value, the person who confirms and displays the set value currently set must move the setting key switch 1311a from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder to the original position to the initial position. The setting key switch 1311a is rotated 60 degrees counterclockwise so as to return to the position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the setting key switch 1311a) to turn it off. This setting key OFF signal is input to the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 . As a result, the main control MPU 1310a switches from the state in which the setting value is displayed to the state in which the setting value is not displayed on the base monitor 1310h that also functions as a setting display, and then or immediately after that, the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a Control is performed to display on the base monitor 1310h the number (total number) of game balls collected from the specific area of the game board 5 through the out port 1008 provided in the game area 5a.

A person who confirms and displays the set values currently set removes the metal setting key from the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and closes the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. to complete the confirmation display of the currently set setting values.

It should be noted that, as described above, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is that when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on or when power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs instantaneously), the outer frame 2, the setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to perform ON operation. It is necessary that the setting key is turned ON and the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d is operated. When the power of the machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (an instantaneous power failure), the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key of the setting key switch 1311a is opened. The setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the cylinder 1311ab, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is turned clockwise by 60 degrees to be turned on, thereby turning the setting key on and pressing the RWM switch 633d. It is necessary that the part is not manipulated. In this way, the predetermined setting value change permission condition and the predetermined setting value display permission condition are set when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on or when the power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily). When the power is restored, the body frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2, the setting key is inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder 1311ab is turned clockwise. There is a common requirement that the setting key is turned ON by turning it 60 degrees and turning it ON. When the power is restored after a momentary power failure), the pressing operation part of the RWM switch 633d is operated", whereas the predetermined set value display permission The condition is that "the pressing operation part of the RWM switch 633d is not operated when the pachinko machine 1 is turned on or when the power is restored after a power failure (instantaneous power failure that occurs momentarily)". The difference is that

Between the lead terminals arranged in rows, along the longitudinal direction of the ZIP type main control MPU 1310a (along the left-right direction of the main control board 1310, along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310, The upper side of the main control board 1310 (parallel to the lower side or the center line connecting the center of the left side and the center of the right side of the main control board 1310) is not formed with a foil extraction area, but a solid ground (GND) (board ground) is formed. .

Other areas on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, excluding the area where the output signal wiring pattern is formed, the area where various through holes are formed, and the area where the foil punching is formed, It is formed as a solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of 1310, and has insulation so as to cover the base material of the main control substrate 1310 and the copper thin layer (copper plane, copper foil surface). A resist solution of a predetermined color (green in this embodiment) is applied to form a mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr on the entire area of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 .

On the copper foil layer (copper plane, copper foil surface) of the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, various wiring patterns and main control signals are formed by various wiring patterns routed to lead terminals of the main control MPU 1310a. A small copper area surrounded by multiple lead terminals of MPU 1310a may be formed. Therefore, in order to stabilize the ground in the small copper foil area, solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control substrate 1310 are connected. A solid ground through hole is formed to electrically connect the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground).

It should be noted that there are a plurality of sizes of lands in the solid ground through-holes, and the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310 and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control substrate 1310 can be electrically connected. The land size of the lead terminal through hole through which the lead terminal of the electronic component is inserted and soldered on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y. having the same size as the land size of the wiring pattern through-hole, being larger than the land size of the lead terminal through-hole and smaller than the land size of the lead terminal through-hole, and being larger than the land size of the lead terminal through-hole Some of them are large, and the through-holes for solid grains are formed in a plurality scattered over substantially the entire surface of the main control board 1310 . As a result, the solid ground (GND) (board ground) on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the solid ground (GND) (board ground) on the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 are connected. They are stabilized to be the same ground (GND) (substrate ground).

Further, in the main control board 1310, for the wiring pattern to which various signals are input, the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is provided. Although there are no through-holes for the wiring patterns for electrical connection, the wiring patterns for outputting various signals are routed to prevent interference with the wiring patterns. A plurality of wiring pattern through-holes for electrically connecting the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 may be formed.

In addition, for the wiring pattern to which various signals are input to the main control board 1310, the wiring pattern between the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is provided. Although it is preferable that through-holes for electrically connecting wiring patterns are not formed at all, in order to avoid interference with other wiring patterns due to routing of wiring patterns, wiring to which various signals are input is unavoidable. Wiring pattern through-holes for electrically connecting wiring patterns on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 may be formed in the pattern.

However, the wiring pattern through-holes (hereinafter referred to as "input signal wiring pattern through-holes") formed for wiring patterns to which various signals are input are, for example, a solid ground (GND) (substrate ground). If an illegal modification such as switching electrically with the +5V power supply line created on the main control board side is performed, the main control MPU 1310a is an important electronic component that controls the progress of the game, so the cheater can acquire illegal game balls. There is a risk that it will be

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

[12-1. Security measures against through-holes for input signal wiring patterns]
As a security measure for the input signal wiring pattern through-holes, a configuration in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes are covered with an insulating film (hereinafter referred to as "input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first to fourth embodiments" 190 to 193, the configuration of covering the land with an insulating coating"). FIG. 190 is a schematic diagram (a) for explaining the configuration of covering the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first embodiment formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 with an insulating film. 191 is a schematic diagram (b) of a cross section taken along line XX in (a), and a schematic diagram (c) of a modification of (b), and FIG. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram (a) for explaining a configuration for covering the land of the input signal wiring pattern through-hole according to the second embodiment formed in the second embodiment with an insulating film, and is a schematic cross section of the XX line in (a) 192 is an input signal wiring pattern according to the third embodiment formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram (a) for explaining a configuration for covering a land of a through-hole for use with an insulating coating, and a schematic diagram (b) of a cross section taken along the line XX in (a), showing a modification of (b). FIG. 193 is a schematic view (c), and FIG. 193 shows a configuration in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the fourth embodiment formed on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 are covered with an insulating coating. It is a schematic diagram (a) to explain, a schematic diagram (b) of a cross section taken along line XX in (a), and a schematic diagram (c) of a modification of (b). In FIGS. 190 to 193, the same reference numerals are assigned to elements having the same function.

The various through-holes have electrical conductivity due to copper-plating on the inner peripheral walls of the through-holes. In addition to the through holes, the main control board 1310 is also provided with non-through holes. In the non-through holes, the inner peripheral walls of the through holes are not plated with copper, and the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 is mounted. Since the solder surface (back surface) 1310y has no land, the inner peripheral wall of the through hole is plated with copper, and the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 are plated with copper. It is very different from a through-hole that has a land in it. A non-through hole is formed to attach a substrate to a member or to fix an electronic component to which an external force is applied (such as a connector to which wiring is attached/detached) to the substrate. The configuration of covering the lands of the through-holes with an insulating coating may be applied to through-holes for mounting electronic components (that is, through-holes for inserting lead terminals of electronic components). Also, the configuration of covering the land of the through-hole with an insulating film is a wiring pattern through-hole formed for the wiring pattern for outputting various signals (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "output signal wiring pattern through-hole"). There is no problem in adopting it for the land of In addition, the configuration for covering the lands of the through holes with an insulating film is divided into a solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and a solid ground (GND) (board ground) on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. There is no problem in adopting the land of the solid ground through-hole electrically connecting the ground (GND) (substrate ground).

[12-1-1. Configuration for Covering Lands of Input Signal Wiring Pattern Through Holes with Insulating Coating According to First Embodiment]
In the configuration of covering the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes with an insulating coating according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. A thin through-hole is formed in the direction perpendicular to the surface (perpendicular to the back surface) of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310, and the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the main control board 1310 A mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and a soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 each having an outer diameter KTHD1 are formed by removing the copper foil from the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of . A mounting surface (front) side wiring pattern SPTN and a soldering surface (back) side wiring pattern are formed. A through-hole KTH1 is formed by applying conductive plating to the entire inner peripheral surface of the through-hole. Outer diameter of mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 formed on mounting surface (front) 1310x of main control board 1310 and soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 formed on soldering surface (back) 1310y of main control board 1310 is the outer diameter KTHD1, which is the same size.

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

A solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control substrate 1310 and one end of the solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control substrate 1310 are electrically connected to each other, and the other end of the solder surface (rear surface) side wiring pattern and the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 or the electronic component are electrically connected to lands (pads) to which specific terminals of are soldered.

The mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 formed on the mounting surface (front) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 formed on the soldering surface (back) 1310y of the main control board 1310 are: The mounting surface (front) side wiring pattern SPTN formed on the mounting surface (front) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310 and the wiring pattern SPTN on the main control substrate 1310 are electrically connected via the through hole KTH1. a solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y; They are electrically connected via a solder surface (back surface) land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. FIG.

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

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

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

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

In this way, on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the area corresponding to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr is provided with the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. Since the mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 is formed, the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 is formed from the outer circumference of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. The peripheral portion of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 toward the center is covered with a green resist as an insulating film. As a result, the entire peripheral portion of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be covered with the green resist as an insulating coating, so that the copper foil is exposed. The area of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 can be kept small. This makes it difficult to tamper with the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern, for example, to electrically switch the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern to a solid ground (GND) (board ground) or a +5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken against the pattern through-holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to improvement of security for the through-holes for the input signal wiring pattern.

In addition, since both the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and the soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 are exposed from the copper foil, the mounting surface (front) side of the main control board 1310 can be separated from the mounting surface (front) side. The tip of the contact probe can be brought into contact with the land KRDx1 to perform an electrical inspection (confirmation of operation and abnormal potential) of the main control board 1310. Electrical inspection (confirmation of operation and abnormal potential) of the main control board 1310 can be performed by bringing the tip of the contact probe into contact with the surface (rear) side land KRDy1. In other words, the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and the soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 can be used as check terminals when the main control board 1310 is electrically tested. The contact probes may be dedicated probes or test leads for conducting a continuity check of a so-called "tester".

In the configuration in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first embodiment are covered with an insulating film, the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 has a solder surface ( A solder surface (back) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1 is formed in a region corresponding to the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1. From the outer circumference of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (back) side land KRDy1 toward the center of the solder side (back) side land KRDy1, the outer peripheral portion of the solder side (back) side land KRDy1 is covered with green resist as an insulating coating. However, as shown in FIG. 190(c), a region of the solder surface side insulating coating 1310yr corresponding to the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1 has an outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having a larger opening diameter KByrD2 (>opening diameter KByrD1) may be formed. This is because the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 in the pachinko machine 1 and is arranged on the back side of the game board 5. This is because only the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be viewed when modifying it. Further, when an operator who inspects the main control board 1310 determines which through hole among the plurality of various through holes formed in the main control board 1310 is the input signal wiring pattern through hole, Comparing the size of the land on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the size of the land on the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y can contribute to determining whether or not it is the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

[12-1-2. Configuration for Covering Lands of Input Signal Wiring Pattern Through Holes with Insulating Coating According to Second Embodiment]
In the configuration in which the lands of the through holes for the input signal wiring pattern according to the second embodiment are covered with an insulating film, as shown in FIGS. A thin through hole is formed in the direction (perpendicular to the surface (perpendicular to the back surface) of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310), and the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the main control A mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and a soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 each having an outer diameter KTHD1 are formed by removing the copper foil from the copper foil surface of the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the substrate 1310. At the same time, a mounting surface (front) side wiring pattern SPTN and a soldering surface (back) side wiring pattern are formed. A through-hole KTH1 is formed by applying conductive plating to the entire inner peripheral surface of the through-hole. Outer diameter of mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 formed on mounting surface (front) 1310x of main control board 1310 and soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 formed on soldering surface (back) 1310y of main control board 1310 is the same size as the outer diameter KTHD1, and the mounting surface (surface) side in the configuration in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first embodiment are covered with an insulating film. The outer diameter of the land KRDx1 is the same as the outer diameter of the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1.

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

A solder surface (back surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control substrate 1310 and one end of the solder surface (back surface) side wiring pattern formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control substrate 1310 are electrically connected to each other, and the other end of the solder surface (rear surface) side wiring pattern and the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1 formed on the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 or the electronic component are electrically connected to lands (pads) to which specific terminals of are soldered.

On the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, a green resist solution is applied as an insulating film to form a mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr. In a region of the film 1310xr corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1, a through hole for input signal wiring pattern smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 and according to the above-described first embodiment is provided. A mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 in the structure in which the land of the hole is covered with an insulating film and larger than the inner diameter of the through hole KTH1 is formed. It is The inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 takes into account the resist liquid penetration prevention area that spreads concentrically outward from the inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 on the mounting surface (surface) side. In order to prevent the green resist liquid from entering the through holes KTH1 of the main control board 1310, the resist liquid penetration prevention distance dimension from the (surface) side inner peripheral edge is at least 0.5 mm. A distance dimension of 5 mm or more is required, and in the configuration in which the lands of the through-holes for the input signal wiring pattern according to the second embodiment are covered with an insulating film, a distance of 0.5 mm is adopted. It's becoming Therefore, the inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 is the sum of the inner diameter of the through hole KTH1 and twice the resist liquid penetration prevention distance (0.5 mm). It is larger by 1.0 mm.

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

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

In this way, on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the area corresponding to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr is provided with the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. It is smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 and further smaller than the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 in the configuration in which the lands of the through-hole for input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment are covered with an insulating film, and the outer diameter of the through-hole KTH1 is Since the mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 larger than the inner diameter of the hole is formed, the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 is formed from the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. toward the center of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1, the resist liquid intrusion preventing area (that is, the resist liquid intrusion preventing distance dimension (0.5 mm) from the mounting surface (surface) side inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1. The outer peripheral portion is covered with a green resist as an insulating coating except for the region extending to a distant position. As a result, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310 extends from substantially the inner side to the entire outer peripheral portion (that is, the mounting surface on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310. Since the (surface) side land KRDx1 can be covered with a green resist as an insulating coating over the area excluding the resist liquid penetration prevention area, the part where the copper foil is exposed is the resist liquid. The land of the through-hole for input signal wiring pattern according to the first embodiment is covered with an insulating coating on the area of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 where the copper foil is exposed by forming the intrusion prevention area. It can be kept extremely small compared to that in the configuration. This makes it difficult to tamper with the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern, for example, to electrically switch the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern to a solid ground (GND) (board ground) or a +5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken against the pattern through-holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to improvement of security for the through-holes for the input signal wiring pattern.

In addition, since a resist liquid penetration prevention area is provided for the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, a green insulating coating is applied on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. When the resist solution is applied, the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward (the main control board 1310 is actually a sheet of copper-clad laminate (base material) of a fixed length. ), the front surface of a single copper-clad laminate (base material) faces vertically upward, and is actually fixed to the manufacturing equipment. Even if a green resist liquid is applied to , the green resist liquid penetrates into the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 and dries without blocking the hole.

In addition, since both the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and the soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 are exposed from the copper foil, the mounting surface (front) side of the main control board 1310 can be separated from the mounting surface (front) side. The tip of the contact probe can be brought into contact with the land KRDx1 to perform an electrical inspection (confirmation of operation and abnormal potential) of the main control board 1310. Electrical inspection (confirmation of operation and abnormal potential) of the main control board 1310 can be performed by bringing the tip of the contact probe into contact with the surface (rear) side land KRDy1. In other words, the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and the soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 can be used as check terminals when the main control board 1310 is electrically tested. The contact probes may be dedicated probes, or may be test leads of a so-called "tester" for continuity check.

In the configuration of covering the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes with an insulating film according to the second embodiment, on the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the solder surface ( A solder surface (back) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1 is formed in a region corresponding to the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1. From the outer circumference of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (back) side land KRDy1 toward the center of the solder side (back) side land KRDy1, the outer peripheral portion of the solder side (back) side land KRDy1 is covered with green resist as an insulating coating. However, as shown in FIG. 191(c), a region of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr corresponding to the solder surface (rear surface) land KRDy1 has an outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (rear surface) land KRDy1. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having a larger opening diameter KByrD2 (>opening diameter KByrD1) may be formed. This is because the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 in the pachinko machine 1 and is arranged on the back side of the game board 5. This is because only the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be viewed when modifying it. Further, when an operator who inspects the main control board 1310 determines which through hole among the plurality of various through holes formed in the main control board 1310 is the input signal wiring pattern through hole, Comparing the size of the land on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the size of the land on the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y can contribute to determining whether or not it is the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

At the same time, a mounting surface (front) side wiring pattern SPTN and a soldering surface (back) side wiring pattern are formed. A through-hole KTH1 is formed by applying conductive plating to the entire inner peripheral surface of the through-hole. Outer diameter of mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 formed on mounting surface (front) 1310x of main control board 1310 and soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 formed on soldering surface (back) 1310y of main control board 1310 is the same size as the outer diameter KTHD1, and the mounting surface (surface) side in the configuration in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first embodiment are covered with an insulating film. The outer diameter of the land KRDx1 is the same as the outer diameter of the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1.

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

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

The main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one copper-clad laminate (base material) of a standard size and finally cutting them out. There are processes such as the process of fixing a sheet of copper-clad laminate (base material) of a fixed size to the manufacturing equipment and coating, the drying process, the process of making holes, and other processes, and finally each board is cut out. . Therefore, when a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating coating onto the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward. (Since the main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out, It is fixed to the manufacturing apparatus so that the front surface of the copper clad laminate (base material) of the length faces vertically upward), and the green resist liquid is applied from the inner periphery of the mounting surface (surface) side of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 enters and blocks the hole. The green resist liquid that has entered the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 dries in a recessed state from the inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 on the mounting surface (surface) side toward the center of the hole due to its own weight. It will be done.

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

In this way, on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the area corresponding to the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr is also covered with green resist as an insulating film. At the same time, the green resist liquid penetrates from the mounting surface (surface) side inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 and blocks the hole. As a result, the entire mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the hole of the through hole KTH1 can be covered with green resist as an insulating film. The copper foil is not exposed on the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1, and the electrically conductive plated portion applied to the entire inner peripheral surface of the through hole KTH1 is the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310. It can be prevented from being exposed from 1310x. Also, the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 can be closed. This makes it difficult to tamper with the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern, for example, to electrically switch the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern to a solid ground (GND) (board ground) or a +5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken against the pattern through-holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to improvement of security for the through-holes for the input signal wiring pattern.

In addition, the green resist liquid penetrated from the mounting surface (surface) side inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and although the hole was blocked, the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 was closed. The solder surface (rear surface) side of the hole is in an open state. That is, the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed with the green resist solution on the mounting surface (front surface) side, but is open on the solder surface (back surface) side. This is because the green resist liquid penetrates from the mounting surface (surface) side inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and air remains inside the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310. If the solder side (back side) of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is blocked, liquid such as a resist remover may remain inside the through hole KTH1. Contact failure may occur due to corrosion of the conductive plating inside, and the liquid inside the through-hole KTH1 may momentarily evaporate and expand (so-called "steam explosion") during soldering (reflow, etc.) processes where heat is applied. ”) may damage the conductive plating inside the through hole KTH1, which may cause electrical disconnection of the through hole KTH1.

Although the mounting surface (surface) side lands KRDx1 and through holes KTH1 are present, they can be hidden by the green resist. The mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 can be made inconspicuous, and the hole of the through hole KTH1 can be made inconspicuous with respect to the solid green resist. As a result, a fraudulent person who attempts to tamper with, for example, electrically switching the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern to a solid ground (GND) (board ground) or a +5V power supply line created on the main control board side, It is possible to make it difficult to find the through holes for the input signal wiring pattern (holes of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 and the through hole KTH1).

In addition, since the copper foil is exposed on both the solder surface (back) side lands KRDy1, the tips of the contact probes are applied from the solder surface (back) side of the main control board 1310 to the solder surface (back) side lands KRDy1. The main control board 1310 can be electrically inspected (confirmation of operation and abnormal potential) by bringing the parts into contact with each other. In other words, the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1 can be used as a check terminal when electrical inspection of the main control board 1310 is performed. The contact probes may be dedicated probes, or may be test leads of a so-called "tester" for continuity check.

In the configuration of covering the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes with an insulating film according to the third embodiment, on the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the solder surface ( A solder surface (back) side resist opening KByra having an opening diameter KByrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1 is formed in a region corresponding to the solder surface (back) side land KRDy1. From the outer circumference of the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (back) side land KRDy1 toward the center of the solder side (back) side land KRDy1, the outer peripheral portion of the solder side (back) side land KRDy1 is covered with green resist as an insulating coating. However, as shown in FIG. 192(c), a region of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr corresponding to the solder surface (back surface) land KRDy1 has an outer diameter KTHD1 of the solder surface (back surface) land KRDy1. A solder surface (back surface) side resist opening KByra having a larger opening diameter KByrD2 (>opening diameter KByrD1) may be formed. This is because the main control board 1310 is housed in the main control board box 1320 in the pachinko machine 1 and is arranged on the back side of the game board 5. This is because only the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be viewed when modifying it. Further, when an operator who inspects the main control board 1310 determines which through hole among the plurality of various through holes formed in the main control board 1310 is the input signal wiring pattern through hole, Comparing the size of the land on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and the size of the land on the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y can contribute to determining whether or not it is the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern.

[12-1-4. Configuration for covering lands of through-holes for input signal wiring pattern according to the fourth embodiment with an insulating film]
In the configuration of covering the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes with an insulating film according to the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. A thin through hole is formed in the direction (perpendicular to the surface (perpendicular to the back surface) of the base material K1310o of the main control board 1310), and the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 and the main control A mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 and a soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 each having an outer diameter KTHD1 are formed by removing the copper foil from the copper foil surface of the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the substrate 1310. At the same time, a mounting surface (front) side wiring pattern SPTN and a soldering surface (back) side wiring pattern are formed. A through-hole KTH1 is formed by applying conductive plating to the entire inner peripheral surface of the through-hole. Outer diameter of mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 formed on mounting surface (front) 1310x of main control board 1310 and soldering surface (back) side land KRDy1 formed on soldering surface (back) 1310y of main control board 1310 is the same size as the outer diameter KTHD1, and the mounting surface (surface) side in the configuration in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first embodiment are covered with an insulating film. The outer diameter of the land KRDx1 is the same as the outer diameter of the solder surface (rear surface) side land KRDy1.

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

On the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating film to form a mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr. A mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 is formed in a region of the film 1310xr corresponding to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. It is The outer diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD1 is the same as the outer diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD1 in the structure in which the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes according to the first embodiment are covered with an insulating film.

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

The main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one copper-clad laminate (base material) of a standard size and finally cutting them out. There are processes such as the process of fixing a sheet of copper-clad laminate (base material) of a fixed size to the manufacturing equipment and coating, the drying process, the process of making holes, and other processes, and finally each board is cut out. . Therefore, when a green resist liquid is applied as an insulating coating onto the copper foil surface of the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward. (Since the main control board 1310 is actually manufactured by arranging a plurality of boards from one standard-sized copper-clad laminate (base material) and finally cutting them out, It is fixed to the manufacturing apparatus so that the rear surface of the copper-clad laminate (base material) of the length faces vertically upward), and the green resist liquid enters and blocks the hole. The green resist liquid that has entered the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 dries in a state of being depressed from the inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 on the solder side (back side) toward the center of the hole due to its own weight. It will be done.

In this way, on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the area corresponding to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr is provided with the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. Since the mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 is formed, the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 is formed from the outer circumference of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. The peripheral portion of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 toward the center is covered with a green resist as an insulating film. Further, on the solder surface (rear surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the area corresponding to the solder surface (rear surface) land KRDy1 of the solder surface side insulating coating film 1310yr is also covered with a green resist as an insulating coating. At the same time, the green resist liquid penetrates from the solder surface (rear surface) side inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 to block the hole. As a result, the entire peripheral portion of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 can be covered with the green resist as an insulating coating, so that the copper foil is exposed. The area of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 can be reduced, and the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 can be closed. This makes it difficult to tamper with the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern, for example, to electrically switch the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern to a solid ground (GND) (board ground) or a +5V power supply line created on the main control board side. Security measures can be taken against the pattern through-holes. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to improvement of security for the through-holes for the input signal wiring pattern.

In addition, since the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 has an exposed copper foil, the tip of the contact probe can be applied to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 from the mounting surface (front) side of the main control board 1310. can be brought into contact with the main control board 1310 for electrical inspection (operation check and abnormal potential check). That is, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 can be used as a check terminal when performing an electrical inspection of the main control board 1310 . The contact probes may be dedicated probes, or may be test leads of a so-called "tester" for continuity check.

In addition, the green resist liquid penetrated from the solder surface (rear surface) side inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, and although the hole was blocked, the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 was closed. The mounting surface (surface) side of the hole is in an open state. That is, the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is closed on the solder surface (rear surface) side with the green resist solution, but is open on the mounting surface (front surface) side. This is a state in which the green resist solution penetrates from the inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 on the solder side (rear surface) side, and air remains inside the hole of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310. If the mounting surface (surface) side of the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 is blocked, liquid such as a resist remover may remain inside the through hole KTH1. Contact failure may occur due to corrosion of the conductive plating inside, and the liquid inside the through-hole KTH1 may momentarily evaporate and expand (so-called "steam explosion") during soldering (reflow, etc.) processes where heat is applied. ”) may damage the conductive plating inside the through hole KTH1, which may cause electrical disconnection of the through hole KTH1.

Although the mounting surface (front) side lands KRDx1 and through holes KTH1 are present, the mounting surface (front) side lands KRDx1 are hidden by the green resist on the mounting surface (front) 1310x of the main control board 1310. The green resist on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 hides the existence of the through hole KTH1, so the mounting surface (front surface) of the main control board 1310 The mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 can be made inconspicuous, and the hole of the through hole KTH1 can be made inconspicuous with respect to the solid white resist 1310x. As a result, a fraudulent person who attempts to tamper with, for example, electrically switching the through-hole for the input signal wiring pattern to a solid ground (GND) (board ground) or a +5V power supply line created on the main control board side, It is possible to make it difficult to find the through holes for the input signal wiring pattern (holes of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 and the through holes KTH1).

Note that in the configuration of covering the lands of the input signal wiring pattern through-holes with an insulating film according to the fourth embodiment, on the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the mounting surface (surface) of the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr A mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD1 smaller than the outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 is formed in a region corresponding to the surface) side land KRDx1. From the outer diameter KTHD1 of the (front) side land KRDx1 toward the center of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1, the outer peripheral portion of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 is covered with a white resist as an insulating coating. However, as shown in FIG. 193(b), the area corresponding to the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 in the mounting surface side insulating coating film 1310xr has an outer diameter KTHD1 of the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1. A mounting surface (front) side resist opening KBxra having an opening diameter KBxrD2 smaller than the outer diameter of the opening diameter KByrD1 and larger than the inner diameter of the through hole KTH1 may be formed. . The inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 takes into account the resist liquid penetration prevention area that spreads concentrically outward from the inner peripheral edge of the through hole KTH1 on the mounting surface (surface) side. In order to prevent the white resist liquid from entering the through holes KTH1 of the main control board 1310, the resist liquid penetration prevention distance dimension from the (surface) side inner peripheral edge is at least 0.5 mm. A distance dimension of 5 mm or more is required, and in the configuration in which the lands of the through holes for the input signal wiring pattern according to the fourth embodiment are covered with an insulating film, a distance of 0.5 mm is adopted. It's becoming Therefore, the inner diameter of the opening diameter KBxrD2 is the sum of the inner diameter of the through hole KTH1 and twice the resist liquid penetration prevention distance (0.5 mm). It is larger by 1.0 mm.

As a result, the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310 extends from substantially the inner side to the entire outer peripheral portion (that is, the mounting surface on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control substrate 1310. Since the (surface) side land KRDx1 can be covered with a green resist as an insulating coating over the area excluding the resist liquid penetration prevention area, the part where the copper foil is exposed is the resist liquid. By forming the intrusion prevention area, the area of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 where the copper foil is exposed can be kept extremely small.

In addition, since a resist liquid penetration prevention area is provided for the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310, a green insulating coating is applied on the copper foil surface of the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310. When the resist solution is applied, the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces vertically upward (the main control board 1310 is actually a sheet of copper-clad laminate (base material) of a fixed length. ), the front surface of a single copper-clad laminate (base material) faces vertically upward, and is actually fixed to the manufacturing equipment. Even if a green resist liquid is applied to , the green resist liquid penetrates into the through hole KTH1 of the main control board 1310 and dries without blocking the hole.

In addition, the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 extends from substantially the inner side of the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 to the entire outer peripheral portion (that is, the mounting surface (surface) of the main control board 1310 (surface) 1310x. The area of the side land KRDx1 excluding the resist liquid penetration prevention area is covered with a green resist as an insulating coating, so that the part where the copper foil is exposed is the resist liquid penetration prevention area. Although it becomes smaller, the electrical inspection (operation check) of the main control board 1310 is performed by bringing the tip of the contact probe into contact with the mounting surface (front) side land KRDx1 from the mounting surface (front) side of the main control board 1310. and abnormal potential), the mounting surface (surface) side land KRDx1 can be used as a check terminal when electrical inspection of the main control board 1310 is performed. The contact probes may be dedicated probes, or may be test leads of a so-called "tester" for continuity check.

The detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is used as the setting key signal so that the predetermined input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a, which is input as the RWM signal, is not placed next to each other. A predetermined input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a that receives input, and a predetermined input of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a that receives the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d as the RWM signal. Between the terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) and another lead terminal (specifically, among the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a, the 9th to 19th lead terminals from the left in the drawing , and a total of 11 lead terminals arranged in the lower row) are arranged so as to intervene.

As described above, the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is electrically connected to the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) among the through holes through which the lead terminals of the ZIP type main control MPU 1310a are inserted. +5V power supply wiring pattern, signal output wiring pattern, input signal wiring pattern, and specific through holes (for example, mounting surface (surface) 1310x and A foil extraction region is formed by removing the copper foil around the through hole for electrically connecting the output signal wiring pattern with the solder surface (back surface) 1310y. Further, when the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON, the logic of the setting key signal becomes LOW (the logic for conveying the setting enabled state) as described above, and the input terminal PA5 (the setting signal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. key signal input terminal), and when the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d provided on the payout control board 633 is operated, as described above, the logic of the RWM signal is LOW (logic that conveys the pressing operation state) is input to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, by removing foil around the input terminals PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), the input terminals PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) and PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) can be grounded. (GND) (substrate ground) can be made difficult to be tampered with by electrically switching between (GND) and (substrate ground), which can contribute to an improvement in security.

Setting of the main control MPU 1310a electrically connected to various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern) for transmitting detection signals from the setting key switches 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 The key signal input terminal and the main control MPU 1310a electrically connected to various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern) that transmit detection signals from the RWM switch 633d mounted on the mounting surface (surface) of the payout control board 633 In addition to between the RWM signal input terminal and the terminals, the peripheral terminal (other adjacent terminal) of the setting key signal input terminal and the peripheral terminal (adjacent terminal) of the RWM signal input terminal are operated by pressing the RWM switch 633d. The logic of the RWM signal indicating that the part is not operated is HI (the logic that conveys the pressed non-operating state), and the logic of the setting key signal that indicates the state that the setting key switch 1311a is OFF-operated is HI (the setting disabled state). It may be electrically connected to a wiring pattern to which other signals are input or to a wiring pattern which outputs other signals so as to achieve logic to transmit. This makes it difficult for the RWM signal input terminal and the setting key signal input terminal to be tampered with, contributing to improved security.

A detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is transmitted as a setting key signal to a predetermined input terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a via various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern). , and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is input as an RWM signal to a predetermined input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a via various wiring patterns (RWM signal wiring pattern). As a result, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d are input to the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a. The detection signal may be input from the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a to the lead terminals arranged in the upper row. The detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input as a setting key signal to a predetermined input terminal PB7 of the input port PB of the main control MPU 1310a via various wiring patterns (setting key signal wiring pattern). The input terminal PB7 of the port PB is arranged 22nd from the left (11th from the right in the figure) among the lead terminals arranged in the upper row of the main control MPU 1310a. In this manner, the detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a is input from the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the main control MPU 1310a to the lead terminals arranged in the upper row, and the detection signal from the RWM switch 633d is mainly input. By inputting to the lead terminals arranged in the lower row of the control MPU 1310a, even if adopting a configuration in which two detection signals are input to the lead terminals of the upper and lower rows respectively, it contributes to the improvement of the security of setting change. can be done.

The logic states of the input ports PA and PB of the main control MPU 1310a are treated as memory information on the address space according to the memory mapped I/O method. The logic state of each input terminal can be obtained. As for the input port PB, similarly, the main control MPU 1310a can acquire the logic state of each input terminal at the same address (address different from that of the input port PA) at the same time. The input ports PA, PB of the main control MPU 1310a are 8-bit input ports, and the input terminals PA0 (RWM signal input terminals) to PA7, PB0 to PB7 of the input ports PA, PB are 0th to 7th bits. Each is pre-allocated to any of the bits.

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

A2. In the signal transmission path between the lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a and the lead terminal (input terminal PA5 of the input port PA) of the main control MPU 1310a, the wiring pattern of the main control board 1310 is changed. As described above, through holes for electrically connecting wiring patterns between the mounting surface (front) 1310x and the soldering surface (back) 1310y of the main control board 1310 are provided because they are routed and formed on the solder surface (back) 1310y. , through holes for this wiring pattern are not formed in the main control board 1310 .

A3. In the signal transmission path between the lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a and the lead terminal (input terminal PA5 of the input port PA) of the main control MPU 1310a, the wiring pattern of the main control board 1310 is changed. It is difficult to route only on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y, and the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 must also be used. 190 to 193, the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x and/or the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 is formed. In , the perimeter and the whole of the land of the through hole are covered with a green resist that is an insulating film.

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

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

When the main control board 1310 is accommodated in the main control board box 1320, the setting key switch 1311a is not pressed (the setting key is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a and is rotated). When the pressing of the setting key is released (when the setting key is not originally inserted into the insertion opening 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a), as described above, the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 and the main body 1302p are separated from each other. A distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance between the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the control board 1310, and when the setting key switch 1311a is pressed, the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p moves toward the main control board. It comes into contact with the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of 1310 and prevents the main control board 1310 from bending.

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

The front surface of the protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 may come into contact with the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. As shown in FIG. 186(b), a copper foil portion (copper foil layer, copper plane) is removed in the region corresponding to the surface (back surface) 1310y and its surroundings, and the copper foil portion copper foil layer, The entire area from which the copper plane) is removed is covered with a green resist, which is an insulating film. Even if the green resist, which is an insulating film formed on the upper surface of the protrusion 1302p, is rubbed and peeled off, the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p and the copper foil portion (copper foil layer, copper plane) do not come into contact with each other. As a result, the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p does not come into contact with the wiring pattern or the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the main control board 1310, and the wiring pattern may be damaged or disconnected by the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p. In addition to preventing damage to the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the main control substrate 1310 .

A7. As described above, the main control board 1310 is accommodated and sealed in the main control board box 1320 that can be opened and closed by sliding in the longitudinal direction, which is composed of the cover body 1301 and the base body 1302 . The main control board box 1320 is attached to the back side of the cover body 1301 so that the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 faces the inside of the cover body 1301 . In this state, when the base member 1302 is moved in the longitudinal direction to match the predetermined position of the cover member 1301, the outer peripheral surface of the base member 1302 fits within the inner peripheral surface of the cover member 1301, and the cover member 1301 and the base member 1302 move together. The main control board 1310 is accommodated in the space thus formed. When the base body 1302 is aligned with the predetermined position of the cover body 1301 and moved in the longitudinal direction, the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 is also moved in the longitudinal direction. The solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the area where the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p moves is formed so that the wiring pattern is not routed. Although a distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance between the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the base member 1302 is separated from the cover member 1301. A case where the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 rubs against the green resist, which is an insulating coating formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board, when moving in the longitudinal direction to match the predetermined position. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the wiring pattern from being damaged or disconnected.

In addition to the wiring pattern, a solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) is provided on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 corresponding to the area where the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 moves. may not be formed. Although a distance dimension d2 (for example, about 1 mm) is provided as a predetermined clearance between the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p and the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310, the base member 1302 is separated from the cover member 1301. When moving in the longitudinal direction to a predetermined position, the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p may rub against the green resist, which is an insulating film formed on the solder surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310. This is because it is necessary to prevent (GND) (substrate ground) from being damaged.

A8. A protruding portion 1302p formed on the base body 1302 has a cylindrical shape. In this way, the area in which the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p moves can be the area in which the front surface (circular shape) of the cylinder that is the projecting portion 1302p moves. When the portion 1302p slides along the lower side of the main control board 1310 in parallel (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310), the distance dimension in the horizontal direction becomes the length of the slide movement of the projecting portion 1302p. By setting the distance dimension in the direction to be the diameter of the cylinder, it is possible to reduce the area in which the front surface of the protrusion 1302p moves. This can contribute to increasing the degree of freedom in routing the wiring pattern when routing the wiring pattern while avoiding the area where the front surface of the projecting portion 1302p moves.

In addition, when the protruding portion 1302p slides along the lower side of the main control board 1310 in parallel (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310), the vertical distance dimension in the region where the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p moves is the diameter of the cylinder and becomes constant. It is possible to prevent (suppress) interference with lead terminals of electronic components (lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a) soldered to the surface (back surface) 1310y. .

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

In addition, when the protruding portion 1302p slides along the lower side of the main control board 1310 in parallel (along the longitudinal direction of the main control board 1310), the vertical distance dimension in the region where the front surface of the protruding portion 1302p moves becomes a constant width of the protruding portion 1302p. Prevents (suppresses) interference with lead terminals of electronic components (lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of setting key switch 1311a) soldered to the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y of 1310. be able to.

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

A11. As shown in FIG. 184, the setting key switch 1311a is connected to a setting key cylinder 1311ab into which a setting key is inserted and rotated, and an outer cylinder 1311aa. A rectangular parallelepiped base body 1311ac in which an ON or OFF circuit is formed, and a hole penetrating the outer cylinder 1311aa is formed at a position corresponding to the outer cylinder 1311aa, and is bent to cover the surface and side surfaces of the base body 1311ac. A frame plate 1311ad having a pair of protruding pieces 1311ada, 1311ada protruding rearward from the base body 1311ac formed on both side surfaces thereof. The setting key cylinder 1311ab is molded from a non-conductive resin, and the frame plate 1311ad is molded from a conductive metal. The setting key cylinder 1311ab and the frame plate 1311ad are not electrically connected to each other and are electrically insulated.

A12. The lead terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) of the setting key switch 1311a are inserted through the through holes from the mounting surface (front surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310 to the solder surface (rear surface) of the main control board 1310. 1310y and is soldered, and is electrically connected to a wiring pattern forming a signal transmission path to the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 by the internal circuit of the setting key switch 1311a. A frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is formed with a pair of protruding pieces 1311ada, 1311ada. 1310 are inserted into long through holes SLH1 and SLH2 and protruded from the soldering surface (back surface) 1310y of the main control board 1310 and soldered to electrically connect the solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. , and the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a and the solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 are electrically connected.

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

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

A14. Since the operator who operates the setting key switch 1311a must first release the body frame 4 from the outer frame 2, a key (this key is , which is a metal key having electrical conductivity. Even if the operator is charged with electric potential, when the operator inserts the metal key into the key hole 132 formed in the front end surface of the cylinder body 131 in the locking unit 650, the electric potential charged by the operator is transferred to the locking unit. 650, and since it is grounded to the island facility of the game hall via a ground wire (not shown) and can be released, the electric potential charged to the operator can be removed.

Even if the operator inserts the setting key into the insertion port 1311aba of the setting key switch 1311a mounted on the mounting surface (surface) 1310x of the main control board 1310, the electric potential charged to the operator is already applied to the island equipment of the game hall. Since the setting key switch 1311a is already grounded and removed, it is possible to prevent damage due to electromagnetic noise due to electrostatic discharge of the potential charged to the operator against the setting key switch 1311a. Since the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a and the frame plate 1311ad are electrically insulated as described above, even if the setting key switch 1311a is inserted into the insertion port 1311aba, the operator is not charged with electric potential. Prevents damage to the main control board 1310 without penetrating into the conductive metal frame plate 1311ad connected to the solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 via the setting key cylinder 1311ab. be able to. (As a matter of course, the signal terminals (COM1 terminal, COM2 terminal, A terminal, B terminal) which are the lead terminals of the setting key switch 1311a are insulated from the frame plate 1311ad and the setting key cylinder 1311ab.)

Furthermore, since the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is electrically connected to the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the main control board 1310, the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a remains charged. nor will it be.

When the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is not connected to the solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310, the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is connected to the main control board together with the frame plate 1311ad. It is not electrically connected to the 1310 solid ground (GND) (substrate ground). Even if the operator inserts the setting key in a charged state into the insertion opening 1311aba formed on the front surface of the setting key cylinder 1311ab, the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a is connected to the frame plate 1311ad and the main control board 1310. Since it is not electrically connected (in an insulated state) to the solid ground (GND) (board ground), the potential charged to the operator is applied to the main control board 1310 via the setting key cylinder 1311ab of the setting key switch 1311a. There is no intrusion into the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the main control substrate 1310, and damage to the main control substrate 1310 can be prevented. However, since the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is not electrically connected to the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the main control board 1310, when the setting key switch 1311a is charged, it cannot discharge.

The long through holes SLH1' and SLH2' to which the pair of protrusions 1311ada and 1311ada of the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a are soldered are electrically connected to the solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310. It is in an electrically floating state. A through hole SLTH4 through which the COM2 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted, a through hole SLTH3 through which the COM1 terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted, and a through hole SLTH1 through which the A terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted are wiring patterns SPTN1 and SPTN2. is electrically connected, the through hole SLTH1 is electrically connected to the wiring pattern SPTN3, and the through hole SLTH2 through which the B terminal of the setting key switch 1311a is inserted is connected to the solid ground (GND) of the main control board 1310 (substrate ground).

As described above, since the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SPTN3 and the through holes SLTH1 to SLTH4 are present around the long through holes SLH1′ and SLH2′, the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SLH2′ and the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SPTN3 are interposed between the long through holes SLH1′ and SLH2′ and the wiring patterns SPTN1 to SPTN3. The solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 is formed, and the solid ground (GND) (board ground) of the main control board 1310 is formed between the long through holes SLH1′, SLH2′ and the through holes SLTH1 to SLTH4. ), the frame plate 1311ad of the setting key switch 1311a is not electrically connected to the solid ground (GND) (substrate ground) of the main control board 1310, and the setting key switch 1311a is charged.

Further, when the pressing operation portion of the RWM switch 633d provided on the payout control board 633 is operated, as described above, the logic of the RWM signal becomes LOW (logic for transmitting the pressing operation state) to the input port of the main control MPU 1310a. Since the signal is input to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) of the PA, the periphery of the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal) is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal). Around the RWM signal wiring pattern, the ground ( GND) (substrate ground) is not formed and serves as a foil extraction region.

HI) have the same logic (HI), and the logic (LOW) that conveys the settable state and the logic (LOW) that conveys the pressing operation state have the same logic (LOW). Instead, the same logic (HI or LOW) is used for the logic that conveys the settable state and the logic that conveys the pressed state, and the logic that conveys the settable state and the logic that conveys the pressed non-operated state. may be the same logic (LOW or HI). Compared with the same logic that conveys the settable state and the logic that conveys the pressed state, it is better to make the logic that conveys the settable state and the logic that conveys the pressed non-operated state the same logic. A person who intends to tamper with the terminal PA5 (setting key signal input terminal), setting key signal wiring pattern, input terminal PA0 (RWM signal input terminal), and RWM signal wiring pattern should not attempt to tamper with the logic until he or she understands the logic of this combination.

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

Also, on the back of the base, when mounting the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) to the main body frame side relay board, attach the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) to the main body frame side relay board. A cylindrical protrusion is formed to be mounted.

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

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

In addition, a method of fixing the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 guided by the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the main body frame 4 to the game board side relay board, and other bodies of the main body frame 4 The other game board side relay board of the other game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 guided by the frame side drawer connector (concave type) It is different from the game board side relay board on which the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 guided by the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) is mounted.) The fixing method to the main body frame is It is the same as the method of fixing the side drawer connector (concave type) to the body frame side relay board (fixing method using rivets).

Rivets are used when fixing the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) to the main body frame side relay board. However, when attaching the game board 5 to the main body frame 4, the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 is connected to the main body frame side. Since a large force may be applied to the box-shaped main body of the drawer connector (concave type), this large force causes the pin-type terminals of the drawer connector (concave type) on the main body frame side to move to the back of the relay board on the main body frame side ( This is to prevent the soldered surface from peeling off. In addition, when fixing the main frame side drawer connector (concave type) to the main frame side relay board or when fixing the game board side drawer connector (convex type) to the game board side relay board using bolts and nuts, , there is a drawback that the nut may be loosened when the game board 5 is attached to or removed from the main body frame 4.例文帳に追加

In this embodiment, a pin type terminal is used as each terminal of the drawer connector (concave type) on the main body frame side. For example, when each terminal of the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 is used as a terminal and each terminal of the body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the main body frame 4 is used as a contact, the pachinko machine 1 is powered. When the game board 5 is attached to the main body frame 4 with the is turned on, the contact between the terminal and the contact (specifically, a large current (rush current) flows in the contact for various power supply lines) is welded. Become. If the game board 5 is forcibly pushed into the body frame 4 in this welded state, the contacts of the drawer connector (concave type) on the body frame side may be bent and broken, or the game board 5 may be separated from the body frame 4. The problem is that when removing the contacts, the contacts are peeled off from the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) and damaged, making the main body frame side drawer connector (concave type) unusable.

In addition, if the terminals and contacts are welded together, the connector may be damaged, which may cause various control boards to malfunction or damage the electronic components mounted on the various control boards. problem that needs to be established.

In this embodiment, by using pin-type terminals as the terminals of the drawer connector (concave type) on the main body frame side, the above-described problem does not occur at all. In other words, even if an operator mistakenly attaches the game board 5 to the main body frame 4 while the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, each terminal of the game board side drawer connector (convex type) of the game board 5 and the main body The terminals of the body frame side drawer connector (concave type) of the frame 4 are not welded, and there is no need to provide a dedicated circuit for preventing welding.

A setting key signal wiring pattern serves as a first transmission path for inputting an operation signal, which is a detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, to the main control MPU 1310a, and an operation signal, which is a detection signal from the RWM switch 633d, is input to the main control MPU 1310a. The RWM signal wiring pattern is formed on the main control board 1310 so as not to run in parallel as the second transmission path.

In this way, an operation signal, which is a detection signal from the setting key switch 1311a, which is the first operation unit capable of changing the setting of the probability of awarding a profit to the player, is input to the main control MPU 1310a. An operation signal that is a detection signal from the RWM switch 633d, which is a second operation unit capable of clearing (erasing) a certain setting key signal wiring pattern and game information held in the main control built-in RAM provided in the main control MPU 1310a. is formed on the main control board 1310 so as not to run parallel to the RWM signal wiring pattern, which is the second transmission path for inputting to the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, the setting key signal wiring pattern, which is the first transmission path, and the RWM signal wiring pattern, which is the second transmission path, are separated from each other and input to the main control MPU 1310a. It is possible to make it difficult for the signal wiring pattern and the RWM signal wiring pattern, which is the second transmission path, to be tampered with at the same time. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to security improvement.

[13. Game content]
Game contents by the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the player rotates the handle 195 of the handle unit 180 arranged at the lower right corner of the front surface of the door frame 3, whereby game balls B stored in the upper plate 201 of the plate unit 200 are played. is hit into the upper part of the game area 5a through the space between the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 of the game board 5, and the game with the game ball B is started. The game ball B hit to 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 hitting strength. The hitting strength of the game ball B can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle 195, and the more the handle 195 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the stronger the ball can be hit. B, that is, game balls B can be hit at intervals of 0.6 seconds.

In addition, in the game area 5a, a plurality of obstacle nails N are planted in a predetermined gauge arrangement at appropriate positions on the front surface of the game panel 1100, and when the game ball B comes into contact with the obstacle nail N, the game ball The flowing speed of B is suppressed, and various motions are imparted to the game ball B so that the motion can be enjoyed. Further, in the game area 5a, in addition to the obstacle nail N, a windmill W that rotates when the game ball B comes into contact with it is provided above the side upper left unit 2300 and to the left of the center accessory 2500. As shown in FIG.

When the game ball B hit to the upper part of the center role 2500 enters the left side of the outer peripheral surface of the center role 2500 from the highest part in front view, it hits a plurality of obstacle nails N, The area on the left side of the center accessory 2500 will flow down. When the game ball B flowing down the area on the left side of the center role 2500 enters the warp entrance 2511 opening in the peripheral wall portion 2501 of the center role 2500, it is supplied from the warp exit 2512 to the stage 2513.

The game ball B supplied to the stage 2513 rolls on the stage 2513 and moves back and forth to the left and right, and is released forward from the central portion in the left and right direction. When the game ball B is released into the game area 5a from the center release portion 2513a in the center of the stage 2513, the center release portion 2513a is located directly above the first start port 2002, so there is a high probability that it will be the first ball. It is received in the starting port 2002 . When the game ball B is received in the first starting port 2002, a predetermined number (for example, three) of the game ball B is paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous game state (for example, "big win", "middle win", "small win", "accessory win", "probability variation (probability variation) win", A special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates a "time reduction (time reduction) hit" will be drawn.

The game ball B released from the stage 2513 of the center accessory 2500 into the game area 5a may be received by the first starting port 2002 of the starting 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 2511, it will be pushed toward the center in the left-right direction by the shelf portion 2301 of the side upper left unit 2300 and the obstacle nail N, and the side unit 2200 , or the first starting opening 2002 of the starting opening unit 2100, or the like. Then, when the game balls B are received in the general winning hole 2001, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. be done.

On the other hand, when the game ball B hit above the center role 2500 in the game area 5a enters the right side of the highest part of the peripheral wall 2501 of the center role 2500, the center role 2500 is guided. A plurality of obstructing nails that are discharged above the gate 2003 through either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 of the passage group 2520 and are implanted between the guide passage group 2520 and the gate 2003. After coming into contact with N, it passes through the gate 2003 with a certain probability.

The group of guide passages 2520 of the center accessory 2500 includes a first guide passage 2521 whose entrance is open near the impinging portion 1006, and an entrance which is spaced leftward from the entrance of the first guide passage 2521. and a second guide passage 2522. As a result, when the game ball B is hit with the strength to contact the impingement portion 1006 (so-called right hitting), it enters the first guide passage 2521 and does not hit the impingement portion 1006 (right hitting). When the game ball B is hit with a strength somewhat weaker than the ball B, it enters the second guide passage 2522 with a high probability. In other words, the game ball B hit to the upper right side of the center accessory 2500 flows through either the first guide passage 2521 or the second guide passage 2522 according to the hitting strength.

In this embodiment, the game ball B passes through the gate 2003 at a higher probability when the second guide path 2522 is used than the first guide path 2521 . Further, the second guide passage 2522 is more likely to pass through the gate 2003 and the left side of the gate 2003 than the first guide passage 2521 .

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

In the present embodiment, in the ordinary lottery performed by the game ball B passing through the gate 2003, a certain amount of time is set from the start of the ordinary lottery to the indication of the ordinary lottery result (for example, 0.5 hours). 01-60 seconds, also referred to as normal fluctuation time). The suggestion of the ordinary lottery result is displayed on the function display unit 1400 of the game board 5 . The second starting port 2004 is opened after the normal fluctuation time has elapsed.

It should be noted that if the game ball B passes through the gate 2003 before the normal lottery result is suggested after the game ball B passes through the gate 2003, the normal lottery result cannot be suggested. The start of the suggestion of the result is put on hold until the previous suggestion of the result of the ordinary lottery ends. Further, the upper limit of the number of reservations for the ordinary lottery result is four, and even if the game balls B pass through the gate 2003, they are discarded without being reserved. As a result, an increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the holdings.

A game ball B that has passed through the gate 2003 and the left side of the gate 2003 has a high probability of hitting the left side of the side right middle unit 2700 due to a plurality of obstacle nails N planted between the gate 2003 and the side right middle unit 2700. It flows down and is sometimes accepted into the general prize winning opening 2001 of the side right center unit 2700, or rarely accepted into the second sub-out opening 2022. - 特許庁When the game ball B is received in the general winning opening 2001 of the side right middle unit 2700 , a predetermined number of game balls B are paid out in the same manner as the general winning opening 2001 of the side unit 2200 . On the other hand, when the game ball B is received in the second sub-out port 2022, it is discharged out of the game area 5a without an opportunity to be received in the accessory winning port 2006, the second starting port 2004 or the big winning port 2005.例文帳に追加

In addition, the game ball B that has passed through the right side of the gate 2003 is received by the second sub-out port 2022 of the side right center unit 2700, and the side right center unit 2700 has a general winning port 2001, a prize winning port 2006, and a second starting port. There is no chance of being accepted in 2004 or the big winning opening 2005, and it is discharged out of the game area 5a.

In this way, when the game ball B is received in the second sub-out port 2022 on the downstream side of the guide path group 2520, the game ball B is discharged outside the game area 5a. It is possible to prompt a hitting operation such that the game ball B cannot be received by the mouth 2022.例文帳に追加In this embodiment, in the guide path group 2520 of the center accessory 2500, the second guide path 2522 has a lower acceptance probability of the game ball B at the second sub-out port 2022 than the first guide path 2521. , the driving operation of the game ball B aimed at the second guide passage 2522 can be encouraged. In other words, it is possible to encourage a hitting operation that requires fine adjustment of the rotation operation of the handle 182 rather than a "right hitting" in which the game ball B contacts the impingement portion 1006, and the hitting operation of the game ball B can be encouraged. It is possible to entertain the original game of the pachinko machine 1 mainly having .

A game ball B that has passed through the left side of the right middle unit 2700 is guided by a plurality of obstacle nails N planted on the left side of the side right middle unit 2700, and enters the prize winning opening 2006 of the second attacker unit 2600. After passing through the left side, it is released to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the lower right guide passage 2530 of the center accessory 2500 .

At this time, when the game ball B is received by the first starting port 2002 or the second starting port 2004 and "accessory prize" is drawn as the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result, the prize is won. Since the opening 2006 opens and closes in a predetermined pattern, the game ball B flowing down the left side of the side right center unit 2700 is accepted by the accessory winning opening 2006 with a high probability. When the accessory winning opening 2006 is in the open state, when the game ball B is received in the accessory winning opening 2006, the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633 output a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) from the payout device 580. ) of game balls B are paid out to the upper tray 201 .

The game ball B received by the accessory winning opening 2006 and detected by the accessory winning opening sensor 2601 circulates through the sorting passage 3158, and is moved forward and backward by the V winning opening door 3006, which advances and retreats to the V winning opening 2007 or the losing opening 2008. be assigned to any of the When the game ball B is distributed to the V winning opening 2007, the big winning opening 2005 opens and closes in a predetermined opening/closing pattern as an advantageous game state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the game ball B is sorted to the losing hole 2008, an advantageous game state advantageous to the player does not occur.

The game ball B released to the first attacker unit 2400 side through the left side of the accessory winning opening 2006 is the first shelf 2421, the second starting door 2411, and the second shelf 2422, and the top is left. After rolling to the left, it is released to the left, and furthermore, it rolls leftward on the third shelf 2423, the big winning opening door 2413, and the fourth shelf 2424 and is released into the game area 5a. .

Then, when the game ball B is rolling on the second starting door 2411, the ordinary lottery result drawn by passing the game ball B through the gate 2003 is "ordinary hit", and the second starting door 2411 is retreating, the game ball B is received in the second starting port 2004.例文帳に追加When the game ball B is received in the second starting port 2004, a predetermined number (for example, four) of the game ball B is paid out to the upper tray 201 from the payout device 580 via the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. At the same time, in the main control board 1310, an advantageous game state advantageous to the player (for example, "big win", "middle win", "minor win", "accessory win", "probability variation (probability variation) win", A special lottery result (first special lottery result) that generates a "time reduction (time reduction) hit" will be drawn.

In addition, when the game ball B is rolling on the big winning opening door 2413, a special lottery result (first special If the lottery result and the second special lottery result) is a special lottery result that generates an advantageous gaming state (for example, "jackpot"), after the elapse of the special fluctuation time, the big winning hole 2005 opens and closes the game ball B in a predetermined opening and closing pattern. can be accepted. When the game ball B is received in the big winning opening 2005 when the big winning opening 2005 is open, a predetermined number (for example, 10 or 13) is sent from the payout device 580 by the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 633. , are paid out to the upper tray 201. Therefore, when the big winning hole 2005 is capable of receiving the game ball B, by allowing the big winning hole 2005 to accept the game ball B, a lot of the game balls B can be paid out and the player can be entertained. can.

In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the game ball B is received by the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 displays an advantageous game state (for example, "jackpot", A lottery will be held for special lottery results that generate "middle hit", "small hit", "accessory hit", "probability variation (probability variation) hit", and "time reduction (time reduction) hit". The special lottery result obtained is suggested to the player over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 360 seconds, also called special fluctuation time).In addition, the game ball B is placed in the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004. The special lottery results that are drawn by being accepted include "loss", "small hit", "2R big hit", "5R big hit", "15R big hit", "probability change (probability change) hit", "short time (time Shortened) hit”, “probable variable time short hit”, “probable variable time short hit”, “second big hit”, etc.

When the special lottery result is "a winning prize", the prize winning opening 2006 is in an open state capable of receiving the game ball B for a predetermined short period of time (for example, between 0.2 seconds and 0.6 seconds). The opening and closing pattern is repeated multiple times (for example, twice). On the other hand, when the special lottery result is "big win", after the big winning hole 2005 becomes an open state capable of receiving the game ball B, a predetermined time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses, or to the big winning hole 2005 Acceptance of a predetermined number (e.g., 10) of game balls B is satisfied, an opening/closing pattern (one opening/closing pattern is referred to as one round) to make the game ball B unacceptable in a closed state. is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For example, 2 rounds for "2R big win", 5 rounds for "5R big win", and 15 rounds for "15R big win" are repeated to generate an advantageous game state advantageous to the player.

In addition, in the "big hit", after the end of the big win game, change the probability that the special lottery result such as "big hit" will be drawn ("variable hit"), or change the display time of the effect image that suggests the special lottery result. There is a "hit" to do ("time saving hit").

If the special lottery result (for example, the second special lottery result) is a "second big hit", after the big winning opening 2005 is able to accept the game ball B in a predetermined pattern, ST (special time ). This ST maintains the state of probability variation and time saving during a predetermined specific variation number of times.

In this embodiment, from the start of the special lottery by the acceptance of the game ball B to the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004 until the special lottery result drawn is suggested, the first start port 2002 and Since the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started when the game ball B is accepted in the second start port 2004, the suggestion of the special lottery result cannot be started until the suggestion of the previously drawn special lottery result is completed. Reserved. The number of reserved special lottery results to be reserved is up to four for the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, respectively. Even if the game ball B is accepted in 2004, it is discarded without holding the special lottery result. As a result, an increase in the burden on the game hall side is suppressed by accumulating the holdings.

This special lottery result is suggested by the function display unit 1400 and the performance display device 1600 . The function display unit 1400 is directly controlled by the main control board 1310 to suggest the result of the special lottery. Suggestion of the special lottery result in the function display unit 1400 is performed by repeatedly lighting and extinguishing a plurality of LEDs to flash for a predetermined time, and then suggesting the special lottery result by the combination of the lit LEDs.

On the other hand, the effect display device 1600 is indirectly controlled by the peripheral control board 1510 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, and the special lottery result is suggested as a effect image. A performance image suggesting a special lottery result on the performance display device 1600 is a pattern row displayed in a state in which three pattern rows made up of a plurality of patterns are arranged in the horizontal direction and each pattern row is varied. are sequentially stop-displayed, and the respective pattern rows are stop-displayed so that the patterns of the three stop-displayed pattern rows are in a combination corresponding to the result of the special lottery. When the special lottery result is other than "losing", after the three pattern rows are stopped and each pattern is stopped and displayed, a confirmation image suggesting the special lottery result is displayed on the effect display device 1600, and the lottery is executed. An advantageous game state (for example, a "small winning" game, a "big winning" game, etc.) occurs according to the special lottery result.

Note that the time indicating the special lottery result on the function display unit 1400 (blinking time of the LED (fluctuation time)) and the time indicating the special lottery result on the effect display device 1600 (the pattern row fluctuates and the confirmed image does not appear). time until display) is different, and the function display unit 1400 is set to a longer time.

In the peripheral control board 1510, in addition to the display of the effect image for suggesting the special lottery result by the effect display device 1600, the effect operation unit 300 in the door frame 3 is operated according to the special lottery result. A player-participation-type effect can be performed in which the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303 of the unit 301 are operated. In the player-participation type performance, the pressing operation section 303 can be raised by the operation button lifting drive motor 367 to make it stand out, and the player-participation type performance can be enjoyed by operating the performance operation section 301 .

In addition, in the peripheral control board 1510, each decoration board provided on the door frame 3, each decoration board provided on the game board 5, the effect display device 1600, and the back front effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000, the back By appropriately using the rear upper production unit 3200, the back rear lower production unit 3300, etc., it is possible to perform light emission production, display production, etc., and various productions can also entertain the player. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest in the game.

Furthermore, the peripheral control board 1510 is configured to allow the player to perform the correct operation when the player makes a mistake in performing the operation to be performed or does not perform the operation in the player participation type performance of operating the contact operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303. to notify the player to that effect.

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

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

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

On the other hand, in the game board 5A of the present embodiment, the front structural member 1000A and the panel plate 1110A are made of a milky white synthetic resin. A portion of the back unit 3000 or the like provided behind the game panel 1100, excluding the inner side of the opening 1112 of the panel plate 1110A, cannot be visually recognized from the front (player's side).

The front structural member 1000A and the panel plate 1110A are made of a translucent milky white opaque synthetic resin. The panel plate 1110A may be obtained by cutting a milky-white synthetic resin plate, or may be formed by injection molding using a milky-white synthetic resin.

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

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 195(a), in the back front left decoration unit 3120 in the back front effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 provided behind the panel plate 1110A, etc., when viewed from the front, the panel plate 1110A The back front left logo decorative portion 3122, the back front left sub decorative portion 3123, and the like positioned outside the opening 1112 are invisible from the front. Then, when the back front left logo decorative portion 3121, the back front upper left logo decorative portion 3122, the back front left sub-decorative portion 3123, etc. are decorated with light emission, as shown in FIG. Light from the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122 and the back front left sub decoration portion 3123 provided on the rear side through the panel plate 1110A is transmitted, and the back front top left logo decoration portion 3122 and the back front left sub decoration are illuminated. The portion 3123 and the like become visible.

Since the panel plate 1110A and the like are milky white, the luminescent color of the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122, the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, and the like, which are decorated with light emission, can be transmitted in the same color. A player can be shown a rich luminescence performance.

It is preferable that the translucent opaque material of the panel plate 1110A has a light transmittance of 2% to 80% and a haze value of 80% to 100%. This is because if the transmittance is lower than this, it will be difficult to decorate with light with sufficient brightness, and if the transmittance is higher than this, it will be difficult to obtain an opaque material. On the other hand, if the haze value is lower than this, the shapes and decorations of the members provided on the rear side become easily recognizable, and there is a possibility that the presentation effect by concealment cannot be obtained sufficiently.

In addition, the panel plate 1110A and the like are milky white (Munsell value (10YR 9.2/0.5)). / 0.5)”, “Ubana color Munsell value (10Y 9/1)”, “Unbleached color Munsell value (10YR 9/1)”, “Lead white Munsell value (N 9)”, “Oyster white Munsell value (5GY 8.5/0.3)”, “Greyish white Munsell value (10YR 9/0.5)”, “White indigo Munsell value (9.7BG 8.2/1.3)”, “Secret color Munsell value (2B 8.5/2)”, “ivory Munsell value (2.5Y 8.5/1.5)”, “cream yellow Munsell value (5Y 8.5/3.5)”, “cherry color Munsell Value (10RP 9/2.5)", etc., may also be a white color.

By the way, since the panel plate 1110A and the like are translucent and milky white, if black, red, and blue colored decorations are provided behind the panel plate 1110A, the decorations will emit light. Depending on the color of the decoration, it may be visible through the panel plate 1110A even when it is not decorated. Since the decoration can be seen through the panel plate 1110A, the player notices the existence of the decoration behind the panel plate 1110A, and the impact (surprise) given to the player when the decoration is illuminated is reduced. There is a risk that the performance will drop and the desired performance effect will not be obtained.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the back front left logo decoration portion 3122, the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, etc. of the back front left decoration unit 3120 provided behind the panel plate 1110A. Since the left first decoration 3124, the back front left second decoration 3125, the back front left third decoration 3126, and the back front left decoration base 3127 are formed of colorless and transparent members, they are translucent. The back front left logo decorative portion 3122 and the back front left sub-decorative portion 3123 cannot be seen through the milky white panel plate 1110A. Therefore, when the back front upper left logo decoration part 3122, the back front left sub decoration part 3123, etc. are not decorated with light emission, they cannot be seen by the player, so that it is difficult for the player to notice their existence. . When the back front upper left logo decoration part 3122, the back front left sub decoration part 3123, etc. are decorated with light emission, they can be seen through the translucent milky white panel plate 1110A, which surprises the player. The light of the light emitting decoration can be seen through the panel plate 1110A, so that the inside of the game area 5a can be made bright and beautiful, and the interest of the player can be strongly attracted. .

In addition, the game board 5A of the present embodiment is provided with a panel decoration substrate 1130 mounted with a plurality of LEDs 1130a for emitting light to the outer peripheral surface of the panel plate 1110A outside the translucent milky-white panel plate 1110A. It is The plurality of LEDs 1130a are full-color LEDs. When the plurality of LEDs 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130 are illuminated, the panel plate 1110A can be decorated with light emission, as indicated by hatching in FIG. As a result, the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110A) through which the game ball B circulates in front becomes self-illuminating, so that the inside of the game area 5a can be brightened and the inside of the game area 5a is circulated. The game ball B can be easily seen, the appearance in the game area 5a can be improved, and the player's interest can be strongly attracted.

In addition, since the game panel 1100 self-illuminates, the game ball B circulating in the game area 5a can be seen as a silhouette, so that the game ball B can be easily visually recognized, and the shooting intensity can be finely adjusted. can be made easier. Also, if the panel decoration substrate 1130 is provided on both the left side and the right side of the panel plate 1110A, the player can intuitively understand the advice of "right-handed" or "left-handed" advice. become. More specifically, depending on the game situation, the LED 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130 on either the left side or the right side is caused to emit light, and the left part or the right part of the panel plate 1110A is decorated with light, thereby It is possible to make the player intuitively understand that the advice of ``left-handed'' or ``right-handed'' is given, and the player can enjoy the operation of hitting the game ball B. The player can be entertained with a new sense of light emission performance.

More specifically, in a conventional pachinko machine, a game board using an opaque veneer plywood as a game panel is covered with a decorative film printed with a predetermined pattern or the like on the front surface of the plywood so that the inside of the game area is covered. I am trying to decorate it. However, when the plywood is used for the game panel, the decoration with the decorative film does not look like other game machines, and it is difficult to enhance the appeal to the players. On the other hand, like the game board 5 of the first embodiment, when the panel plate 1110 through which the game ball B circulates in front is made transparent, the decoration of the back unit 3000 provided in the rear and the effect image of the effect display device 1600 are displayed. While the pachinko machine 1 can be made to have a feeling of openness by making it easy to see such as, the game ball B flowing in front of the transparent panel plate 1110 looks like it is floating in the air, and some players feel that the game ball There is a risk that B's movement will be difficult to understand.

On the other hand, in the game board 5A of the present embodiment, the plurality of LEDs 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130 can decorate the translucent panel board 1110A with light emission. By appropriately combining the above, the decoration of the panel board 1110A can be changed in a variety of ways, and the player can see the self-illuminating game board 5A that has not been seen in conventional pachinko machines, and at the same time attract the player's attention. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 which can strongly attract players and has high appeal to players. In addition, since the panel plate 1110A is illuminated by the plurality of LEDs 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130, the game ball B flowing in front of the panel plate 1110A can be easily seen, and the player can enjoy the movement of the game ball B. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

According to the game board 5A of the present embodiment, in addition to the effects described above, the panel plate 1110A and the like are made of a milky white synthetic resin, and it is sufficient to use a resin of a lower grade than a transparent resin. The cost of the panel plate 1110A can be reduced compared to the case of using resin.

In the above embodiment, the panel decoration substrate 1130 is provided outside the outer circumference of the panel plate 1110A. You can do it. Thereby, there can exist an effect similar to the above. In addition, compared to the case where the panel plate is transparent, point-like light from the LEDs 1130a and the like provided in the rear can be diffused by the milky-white panel plate 1110A having light properties. can be softly decorated with light emission, and glare can be suppressed to provide a game board 5A that is easy on the eyes.

In the game board 5A of the present embodiment, although not shown, a decorative film (also referred to as a cell) having a predetermined pattern may be pasted on the front surface of the panel plate 1110A. As a result, it is possible to suppress the wear of the panel plate 1110A due to the circulation of the game balls B, and to suppress the deterioration of the appearance of the game area 5a when the rear decorative body is not decorated with light emission by the pattern of the cell, thereby improving the appearance. can be improved. In addition, by the light from the LEDs provided behind the panel plate 1110A, the pattern of the cells can be illuminated together with the panel plate 1110A, and the decoration of the panel plate 1110A can be made to look more beautiful.

In addition, as described above, when the cells are provided on the front surface of the panel plate 1110A, the patterns applied to the cells are used as outlines, so that the light-emitting decoration ( illumination) can be made clear, and the decorative effect of the luminous decoration can be further enhanced.

Furthermore, cells may be provided on the rear surface of the panel plate 1110A. As a result, the shadow of the cell (or the pattern applied to the cell) is reflected on the panel plate 1110A by the light emitted from the LED or the like provided behind the panel plate 1110A (cell), so that the LED emits light. The decoration of the panel board 1110A can be changed by , and the player can be entertained and the decline of interest can be suppressed. The shadows reflected on the panel board 1110A may be characters such as "Right-handed", "Left-handed", "Chance", etc., suggesting changes in the game situation to entertain the player. can be done.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, a decorative body (rear front left decorative unit 3120) whose position is fixed is provided behind the milky white panel plate 1110A, but it is not limited to this. A movable decorative body may be provided behind the panel plate 1110A, which is movable between a retracted position behind the panel plate 1110A and an appearance position inside the opening 1112 of the panel plate 1110A when viewed from the front.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the whole including the inside of the panel plate 1110A and the like is milky white, but the present invention is not limited to this. may be milky white. Specifically, for example, at least one surface of a panel plate formed by two-color molding with a transparent resin and a milky-white resin, a panel plate in which a transparent resin plate and a milky-white resin plate are bonded together, and a transparent resin plate A panel plate with a milky white film (cell) attached, a panel plate with a back surface of a transparent resin plate that has been subjected to shrinking processing with ultraviolet curable ink, a panel plate with a sandblast processing on the back surface of a transparent resin plate, etc. be done.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the panel plate 1110A and the like are shown to be milky white, but the present invention is not limited to this. good.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the front constituent member 1000A is translucent milky white, but the present invention is not limited to this. The component 1000 may be used, or the front component may have a color different from that of the panel plate 1110A.

[15. Third Embodiment of Game Board]
Next, the game board 5B of the third embodiment in the pachinko machine 1 will be described in detail mainly with reference to FIG. FIG. 197 is an exploded perspective view of the panel board and cells in the game board of the third embodiment, seen from the front. The game board 5B of the third embodiment has the same configuration as the game board 5 of the first embodiment, except for the configuration in which the cell 1140 is provided behind the panel plate 1110, and the portions of the same configuration will be described in detail. are omitted.

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

The cells 1140 are sized to cover only a portion of the entire surface of the panel plate 1110 (here, the portion extending from the left side of the center accessory 2500 to the bottom). Although not shown, the cell 1140 is attached to the rear surface of the panel plate 1110 with a screw with a predetermined amount of backlash. As a result, compared to the case where the cell 1140 is attached to the entire surface of the panel plate 1110, it is possible to simplify the time and effort required to attach the cell 1140, and the amount of the cell 1140 used can be reduced. An increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Moreover, since the cells 1140 are provided on a part of the panel plate 1110, the number of the cells 1140 that can be removed from the resin sheet can be increased compared to the conventional cells that are attached to the panel plate, thereby increasing the number of the cells 1140. 1 can be reduced.

In addition, since the cell 1140 is attached to the panel plate 1110 with rattling, even if the cell 1140 expands and contracts due to changes in temperature, humidity, etc., the difference in expansion and contraction with the panel plate 1110 can be absorbed by the rattling. can. As a result, even if the cells 1140 shrink with respect to the panel plate 1110, the cells 1140 can be prevented from being wrinkled or cracked, and the decorative effect of the pattern of the cells 1140 can be maintained. .

Furthermore, since the cells 1140 are attached to the panel plate 1110 with screws, the cells 1140 can be easily attached and detached from the panel plate 1110. Therefore, by replacing the cells 1140 with different patterns, the pachinko machine 1 can be changed in specifications and models. It is possible to easily respond to changes, design changes, etc., suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1, and replace it with a cell 1140 having a pattern with a higher decorative effect. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that is highly appealing to players.

In addition, since the cell 1140 is provided on the rear side of the transparent panel plate 1110, the distance from the player to the cell 1140 is increased compared to the case where the cell 1140 is provided on the front side of the panel plate 1110. It is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure on the person.

In addition, it is desirable that the cells 1140 have translucency, and the pattern of the cells 1140 can be illuminated and decorated by the light from the LEDs provided behind the panel plate 1110 (the cells 1140). The appearance of the area 5a can be improved, and the luminous decoration of the cells 1140 can strongly attract the player's interest, and the appeal of the pachinko machine 1 can be enhanced.

In the above embodiment, the cells 1140 are attached to the panel plate 1110 using screws, but this is not a limitation. You may make it attach by pinching between.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the opening 1112 of the panel plate 1110 in which the center accessory 2500 is provided is provided at a position that is biased to the upper right direction with respect to the panel plate 1110 (eccentric to the upper right). Although shown, it is not limited to this. By providing the cell 1140 behind the portion widened by the opening 1112 being shifted (eccentrically), the same effect as described above can be obtained.

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

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

Like the function display unit 1400 of the first embodiment, the function display unit 1400A of the second embodiment blinks a plurality of LEDs 1401 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310 to provide a variable display. Later, by lighting or extinguishing each in a predetermined combination, the game state (game situation), ordinary lottery result, special lottery result (first special lottery result, second special lottery result), ordinary lottery result , the number of pending special lottery results, the number of rounds in the event of a "jackpot", and the like.

More specifically, in the game board 5 of the first embodiment, for example, when the game ball B is received in the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004, the main control board 1310 displays a special lottery result as internal processing. is selected. Then, the main control board 1310 transmits a control signal for displaying the special lottery result of the lottery to the function display unit 1400, and the function display unit 1400 displays the special lottery result of the lottery using the corresponding LED 1401. I'm trying

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

Therefore, by photographing the function display unit 1400 with a digital camera, a camera attached to a mobile phone, or the like, the light emission state of the LEDs in the function display unit 1400 is analyzed, and the contents displayed on the function display unit 1400 are analyzed. It is conceivable to try to know as soon as possible.

However, when the result of the special lottery drawn by the function display unit 1400 can be easily discriminated by the light emission of the LED in the function display unit 1400, the special lottery result displayed on the function display unit 1400 is displayed as "losing". Even if the effect image for suggesting the result of the special lottery is displayed in the device 1600, the effect by the effect image cannot be enjoyed because the result is known, and the user wants the effect image to end early. However, some players may feel frustrated and lose interest in the game.

On the other hand, in the function display unit 1400A of the second embodiment, although the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs 1401 can be clearly recognized by the player's eyes, the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs 1401 cannot be seen when photographed with a digital camera or the like. It is obscured so that what is being displayed cannot be determined.

Specifically, the function display unit 1400A includes a function display board 1402 having a plurality of LEDs 1401 mounted on its front surface, and a function display board 1402 provided on the front side of the function display board 1402, which independently transmits light from the LEDs 1401 forward. a light-transmitting sheet 1404 having translucency provided on the front side of the reflector rear 1403; and a front reflector 1405 that radiates in different directions.

As shown in FIG. 199, a plurality of LEDs 1401 are randomly mounted on the function display board 1402 . A plurality of through holes 1403 a are provided in the rear reflector 1403 so as to correspond to the LEDs 1401 of the function display substrate 1402 . A plurality of through holes 1403a are provided perpendicular to the front surface of the function display substrate 1402 (see FIG. 198(b), etc.).

The front reflector 1405 has a plurality of display holes 1405a corresponding to the through holes 1403a of the rear reflector 1403 and penetrating in the front-rear direction. The plurality of display holes 1405a are positioned just before the corresponding through holes 1403a of the rear reflector 1403 on the rear end side, and the front end side of the plurality of display holes 1405a extends from the front vertical line of the function display board 1402 passing through the center of the rear end side. located at a distance from each other. That is, the axial directions of the plurality of display holes 1405a are oriented in different directions with respect to the vertical line on the front surface of the function display substrate 1402 .

In addition, the front reflector 1405 has a discriminating recess 1405b that is recessed rearward from the front so as to connect the plurality of display holes 1405a. The plurality of display holes 1405a are divided into two, a display hole 1405a (LED 1401) related to the first special lottery result and a display hole 1405a (LED 1401) related to the second special lottery result, by the discrimination recess 1405b.

A plurality of display holes 1405a in front of the reflector 1405, as shown in FIG. The light from the eye is directed in three different directions: visible only to the left eye, visible only to the right eye, and visible to both the left and right eyes. That is, the plurality of display holes 1405a are divided into three for left eye, right eye, and both eyes.

According to the function display unit 1400A of the present embodiment, the light from all the LEDs 1401 can be seen when the player sees it with both eyes. It can be visually recognized, and the same function as the function display unit 1400 of the first embodiment can be exhibited without inferiority.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400A of the present embodiment, when a photograph is taken with a digital camera or the like, since the digital camera or the like is monocular, either the left eye and both eyes or the right eye and both eyes are photographed. Therefore, it is difficult to photograph the light emission state (light emission state) of all the LEDs 1401 . In other words, when photographed with a digital camera or the like, it is possible to obscure the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs 1401, making it difficult to distinguish the display contents on the function display unit 1400A. Therefore, based on the photographed photograph, the display contents on the function display unit 1400A are clarified, and the special lottery results drawn are "losing", mere "big hit", "probable odd hit", "short time hit", By knowing the ``second big win (ST win)'', etc., it becomes impossible to enjoy the performance for suggesting the result of the special lottery, or to enjoy the advantageous game state (for example, ``big win'' game) in progress. It is possible to prevent the player from falling in interest by entertaining the player.

Further, according to the function display unit 1400A of the present embodiment, the direction of the display hole 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 is changed, and the display contents are displayed according to the position of the player seated in front of the pachinko machine 1. can be seen well, the display contents of the function display unit 1400A can be seen unclearly from behind the seated player. Therefore, since it is possible to make it difficult for other players to grasp the game situation, it is possible to reduce the chance that other players will look into the game, and the player can play the game without worrying about other players. can entertain.

In addition, as described above, since the display content is made to look good according to the position of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1, the function of using a digital camera or the like from a position behind the player can be displayed. It is possible to make it more difficult to photograph the content displayed on the display unit 1400A, and it is possible to reliably achieve the above-described effects.

Furthermore, in the function display unit 1400A, the display hole 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 is oriented vertically as well as horizontally, so that the eyes of the player sitting in front of the pachinko machine 1 are displayed. When viewed from a height, the contents of the display are made to look good. As a result, when trying to photograph with a digital camera or the like, it is necessary to adjust the height direction as well, making it more difficult to photograph the display content on the function display unit 1400A.

In addition, since the direction of the display hole 1405a in the front part of the reflector 1405 is changed for the left eye and the right eye, etc., it is possible to suppress the increase in the distance of the plurality of LEDs 1401 in the left-right direction on the function display board 1402, thereby improving the function. The horizontal width of the display unit 1400A can be reduced.

In the above embodiment, the plurality of display holes 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 are oriented in different directions for the left eye, the right eye, etc., but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, a function display unit 1400B configured as shown in FIG. 202 may be used.

The function display unit 1400B includes a function display substrate 1411 on which a plurality of left LEDs 1411a and a plurality of right LEDs 1411b are mounted at a predetermined distance (interval between the left and right pupils of the player) in the horizontal direction, and a function display substrate 1411. A rear reflector 1412 that is provided on the front side of the substrate 1411 and independently transmits the light from the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b forward, and a translucent translucent light that is provided on the front side of the reflector rear 1412.

Therefore, when the player sees with both eyes, the light from both the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b can be seen, so that the same function as the function display unit 1400 of the first embodiment can be exhibited without inferiority.

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

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

Furthermore, according to the function display unit 1400B, the plurality of display holes 1414a of the front reflector 1414 are oriented in the direction perpendicular to the front surface of the function display board 1411, and all of them are oriented in the same direction. , and the increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

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

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

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

On the other hand, when this function display unit 1400C is photographed with a digital camera or the like, if it is capable of photographing invisible light, the light guide plate that emits light with invisible light makes it appear that all the display holes 1425a are emitting light. , the display contents can be made unclear, and the same effects as those described above can be achieved.

In the above embodiment, the post reflector 1403 (post reflector 1412) and the light-transmitting sheet 1404 (light-transmitting sheet 1413) are provided. A front reflector 1405 (front reflector 1414) may be provided directly on the front surface of the display substrate 1411).

The decorative body 1804 is a seal having a predetermined pattern, characters, or the like printed on its surface, and has translucency. The decorative body 1804 has a substantially square outer shape, and chamfered portions 1804a with a predetermined radius are provided at three corners. Since the overall shape of the decorative body 1804 is such that it is difficult to specify the direction, the direction can be specified by making the shape of one corner different from the shape of the remaining corners. . Although the chamfered portion 1804a is shown as being R-chamfered here, it may be C-chamfered.

In addition, the decorative body 1804 has an adhesive surface 1804b (the shaded portion in FIG. 206(a)) provided on the back surface with a substantially constant width (width within the range of 3 mm to 6 mm) along the outer peripheral edge. have. The width of the adhesive surface 1804b is set appropriately according to the size of the decoration 1804. FIG. Restricting the adhesive surface 1804b to only the outer peripheral edge in this manner is often used particularly when a transparent seal (decorative body 1804) is desired to show an electrical decoration such as an LED or a design surface behind it.

The first member 1823 is composed of a flat plate portion 1823a and a flat plate portion 1823a extending from one side of the flat plate portion 1823a in a size slightly larger than the decoration 1804 and deeper than the thickness of the decoration 1804 (0.4 mm to 1.0 mm). ) It has a recessed mounting recess 1823b to which the decorative body 1804 is attached, and a separation hole 1823c penetrating the flat plate portion 1823a at the site of the mounting recess 1823b. This first member 1823 is formed transparent.

The separation hole 1823c is provided at a position close to the corner of the mounting recess 1823b and not covered by the adhesive surface 1804b when the decorative body 1804 is attached (inside the adhesive surface 1804b). As a result, the adhesive surface 1804b is applied to the separation hole 1823c, thereby avoiding a reduction in the bonding strength of the decorative body 1804. FIG.

This separation hole 1823c is a round hole. The separation hole 1823c of this embodiment has an inner diameter within the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 1823c is smaller than this, the diameter of the separating rod-shaped member (tool) inserted into the separation hole 1823c will be reduced, which will make it easier to bend and may not be able to press the decorative body 1804 sufficiently. If the separation hole 1823c is larger than this, the decoration 1804 may be bent at the separation hole 1823c and the appearance of the decoration 1804 may deteriorate.

In addition, the first member 1823 is formed at three corners of the mounting recess 1823b and has chamfered portions 1823d that are larger (with a radius) than the chamfered portion 1804a of the decorative body 1804 . The remaining one corner serves as an erroneous sticking prevention portion 1823e. As a result, the mounting recess 1823b has a shape similar to that of the decorative body 1804. As shown in FIG. The two edges forming the corners of the mounting recess 1823b where the chamfered portion 1823d is not provided are set as reference surfaces for attaching the decorative body 1804. As shown in FIG. As a result, at least two clearance directions are secured for attaching the decorative body 1804, and the attachment work can be easily performed.

The configuration of the other side of the first member 1827 (including the second member) may have any of the configurations described above. Also, in the present embodiment, description of an identification portion indicating a contact surface of the first member 1827 is omitted.

The decorative body 1808 is a sticker having a predetermined pattern, characters, or the like printed on its surface. The ornamental body 1808 has a laterally long rectangular outer shape, and two upper corners are R-chamfered and two lower corners are C-chamfered. The difference in chamfered shape between the upper side and the lower side allows the orientation of the ornament 1808 to be specified. The paste surface of the decorative body 1808 may be provided with a constant width along the outer peripheral edge as in FIG.

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

In addition, the first member 1827 has a pair of shaft portions 1827e projecting in the left-right direction in a cylindrical shape from near the lower ends of the left and right side surfaces of the flat plate portion 1827a. As shown in FIG. 208(b), the shaft portion 1827e is located on the other side of the surface of the mounting recess 1827b. A pair of shaft portions 1827e of the first member 1827 are rotatably supported by a member (not shown). That is, the first member 1827 is rotatable (turnable) about the axis of the pair of shaft portions 1827e. The shaft portion 1827e of the first member 1827 may be integrally molded with the flat plate portion 1827a or the like, may be insert-molded, or may be assembled separately. good.

The separation hole 1827c is a round hole and is provided near the upper corner in the mounting recess 1827b. Since the two separation holes 1827c are provided at positions far from the axial center of the shaft portion 1827e, the weight of the first member 1827 at positions far from the axial center of the shaft portion 1827e can be reduced. The rotational moment acting when the 1827 is rotated (turned) can be reduced, the load applied to the rotational drive of the first member 1827 can be reduced, and the first member 1827 can be moved lightly. can. In addition, since the two separation holes 1827c are provided near the left and right corners of the upper side, the forces applied to the left and right shaft portions 1827e can be equalized, and the first member 1827 is balanced. By doing so, it is possible to reduce uneven wear and the like.

The separation hole 1827c of this embodiment has an inner diameter within the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 1827c is smaller than this, the diameter of the separating rod-shaped member (tool) inserted into the separation hole 1827c becomes small, and the tool tends to bend, which may make it impossible to press the decorative body 1808 sufficiently. If the separation hole 1827c is larger than this, the decoration 1808 may be bent at the separation hole 1827c and the appearance of the decoration 1808 may deteriorate.

The erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827 d projects into the mounting recess 1827 b in a shape corresponding to the chamfering of the lower corner of the decorative body 1808 . In this embodiment, the oblique edge of the erroneous attachment prevention portion 1827d and the lower edge of the mounting recess 1827b are set as a reference surface for attaching the decorative body 1808. FIG.

Since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d protrudes into the mounting recess 1827b, the weight of the first member 1827 is increased. Therefore, the influence of the rotational moment increased by the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d can be reduced as much as possible, and the increase in the load applied to the rotational driving of the first member 1827 can be suppressed. In addition, since the erroneous attachment prevention portions 1827d are provided at the two corners on the lower side of the mounting recess 1827b, the first member 1827 can be balanced, and uneven wear of the shaft portion 1827e can be reduced. and the first member 1827 can be rotated (rotated) in a stable state.

In addition, in the first member 1827, it is desirable that the distance from the outer periphery of the flat plate portion 1827a to the mounting recess 1827b is 1 mm or more. If the distance is smaller than this, when the game ball B collides with another member, the portion outside the mounting recess 1827b is likely to be chipped.

When attaching the decoration 1808 to the mounting recess 1827b of the first member 1827, first, the C-chamfered corner of the decoration 1808 is brought into contact with the contact surface of the mounting recess 1827b (erroneous attachment prevention portion 1827d). Then, the adhesive surface is gradually brought into contact with the surface of the mounting recess 1827b from the corresponding portion to adhere. Note that if the decorative body 1808 is attached upside down, since the shape of the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1827d is different from the shape of the R-chamfered corners of the decorative body 1808, the sticking direction of the decorative body 1808 will be changed. can be made to notice that it is mistaken, and the decorative body 1808 can be pasted in the regular direction. Also, if the decorative body 1808 is pasted in the mounting recess 1827b in the wrong direction, the corner of the decorative body 1808 protrudes from the mounting recess 1827b at the erroneous sticking prevention part 1827d. 1808 can be made aware of pasting errors.

In addition, the first member 1827 has a separation groove 1827f that is recessed in the mounting recess 1827b near the edge and extends in the left-right direction (see FIG. 208(b)). The separation groove 1827f is straddled by the decoration 1808 when the decoration 1808 is attached to the mounting recess 1827b, forming a space between the separation groove 1827f and the decoration 1808. As shown in FIG. When the part of the separation groove 1827f of the decoration 1808 is pressed from the outside while the decoration 1808 is attached to the mounting recess 1827b, a part of the decoration 1808 sinks into the separation groove 1827f. At the same time, the edge side of the decoration 1808 is lifted from the mounting recess 1827b, and by pulling the lifted portion, the decoration 1808 can be removed from the mounting recess 1827b.

According to the configuration of this embodiment, a rod-like member is passed through the separation hole 1827c from the other side of the first member 1827, and the tip of the rod-shaped member pushes the decoration 1808 from the other side to the one side. The vicinity can be removed so that it can be rolled up to one side, and the worker can pull the rolled-up portion to easily remove the decorative body 1808 from the mounting recess 1827b (first member 1827). The same effect as the configuration can be obtained.

In addition, since the attachment recess 1827b of the first member 1827 to which the decoration 1808 is attached is provided with the erroneous attachment prevention portion 1827d, if the decoration 1808 is to be attached in a different orientation from the regular one, the decoration 1808 will not be attached. and the shape of the erroneous sticking prevention part 1827d are different, it is possible to make the user aware of the wrong orientation of the decorative body 1808, and to stick the decorative body 1808 to the first member 1827 in the correct direction. In addition, it is possible to prevent the decoration body 1808 from being shipped in a state of being pasted in the wrong direction.

Furthermore, since the separation hole 1827c is provided at a position far from the axis of rotation and the erroneous sticking prevention part 1827d is provided at a position close to the axis of rotation, it acts when the first member 1827 is rotated. Since the torque due to the rotational moment can be reduced, the load applied to the rotational driving of the first member 1827 can be reduced, and the first member 1827 can be moved (rotated) smoothly.

In addition, since the first member 1827 is provided with two separation holes 1827c and two erroneous attachment prevention portions 1827d, it is possible to balance forces acting on the left and right shaft portions 1827e. It is possible to reduce uneven wear and the like, and to rotate (rotate) the first member 1827 in a stable state.

In the present embodiment, for example, the first member 1827 may be a door member of a variable winning opening such as a big winning opening or a prize winning opening, or may be provided in the front unit 2000 or the back unit 3000. You may make it the movable member for production|presentation.

Examples of the decorative body 1808 include a PET seal, a flex metal seal (trade name), a metallic seal (trade name), a potting seal, an aluminum seal, and the like.

By the way, when the first member 1827 is used as a door member for opening and closing the big winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, etc., the game ball B comes into contact with the decorative body 1808. It is desirable to have the following relationship with the one member 1827 .

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 208(c), the distance from the front surface of the flat plate portion 1827a of the first member 1827 to the front surface of the decorative body 1808 is d, and the distance from the upper side of the mounting recess 1827b of the first member 1827 is When the distance to the upper edge of the decorative body 1808 is c, and the radius of the game ball B is r, the distance d is within the range of [0<d<r], and the distance It is desirable that c be in the range of [0≦c<(2rd̂2−d̂2)̂0.5]. It should be noted that the above parentheses indicate an expression.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the game ball B from contacting the top edge of the decoration body 1808, so that the decoration body 1808 can be prevented from coming off due to the contact of the game ball B, thereby suppressing the occurrence of defects. can be made

It is desirable that the distance d be within the range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm. If the distance d is smaller than this, the decoration 1808 may protrude forward from the flat plate portion 1827a depending on the tolerance of the decoration 1808, and the game ball B may come into contact with the upper edge of the decoration 1808. If is larger than this, the shadow of the upper edge of the mounting recess 1827b is likely to fall on the decorative body 1808, and the decorative effect of the decorative body 1808 may deteriorate.

Also, the contact surface of the mounting recess 1827b may be set to the upper edge. As a result, the upper edge of the decoration 1808 contacts the upper edge of the mounting recess 1827b, so that the game ball B does not contact the upper edge of the decoration 1808, and the same operation as described above is performed. Operation and effects can be achieved.

The shaft support portion 1828e is provided up to the portion of the mounting recess 1828b, and a part of the shaft support portion 1828e constitutes an erroneous sticking prevention portion 1828d. Due to the shaft support portion 1828e (erroneous sticking prevention portion 1828d), the lower left and right corners of the mounting recess 1828b are formed into a square cut-off shape.

The separation hole 1828c is a round hole and is provided near the upper corner in the mounting recess 1828b. Since the two separation holes 1828c are provided at positions far from the axial center of the shaft portion 1828g, the weight of the first member 1828 at positions far from the axial center of the shaft portion 1828g can be reduced. The rotational moment acting when the 1828 is rotated (rotated) can be reduced, the load applied to the rotational drive of the first member 1828 can be reduced, and the first member 1828 can be moved lightly. can. In addition, since the two separation holes 1828c are provided near the left and right corners of the upper side, the forces applied to the left and right shaft portions 1828g can be equalized, and the first member 1828 is balanced. By doing so, it is possible to reduce uneven wear and the like.

The separation hole 1828c of this embodiment has an inner diameter within the range of 2 mm to 6 mm. If the separation hole 1828c is smaller than this, the diameter of the separation rod-shaped member (tool) inserted into the separation hole 1828c becomes small, and it is likely to bend, which may make it impossible to press the decorative body 1809 sufficiently. If the separation hole 1828c is larger than this, the decoration 1809 may be bent at the separation hole 1828c and the appearance of the decoration 1809 may deteriorate.

The erroneous sticking prevention portion 1828d has a rectangular shape that protrudes from the lower corner of the mounting recess 1828b by the shaft support portion 1828e, and has a shape corresponding to the notch 1809a at the lower corner of the decorative body 1809. It's becoming In this embodiment, the upper edge of the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1828d is set as a reference surface for sticking the decorative body 1809. As shown in FIG.

Since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1828d protrudes into the mounting recess 1828b, the weight of the first member 1828 is increased. Therefore, the influence of the rotational moment increased by the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1828d can be reduced as much as possible, and the increase in the load applied to the rotational driving of the first member 1828 can be suppressed. In addition, since the erroneous attachment prevention portions 1828d are provided at the two corners on the lower side of the mounting recess 1828b, the first member 1828 can be balanced, and uneven wear of the shaft portion 1828g can be reduced. and the first member 1828 can be rotated (pivoted) in a stable state.

In addition, in the first member 1828, it is desirable that the distance from the outer periphery of the flat plate portion 1828a to the mounting recess 1828b is 1 mm or more. If the distance is smaller than this, when the game ball B collides with another member, the portion outside the mounting recess 1828b is likely to be chipped.

[20. Characteristic effects of the present embodiment]
Next, the characteristic effects of this embodiment will be described. From here to paragraph [1835], the decorative body is the decorative body 1804, the pedestal member is the first member 1823, the flat plate portion is the flat plate portion 1823a, the mounting recess is the mounting recess 1823b, the separation hole is the separation hole 1823c, and erroneous pasting prevention. The erroneous sticking prevention part 1823e is the part, and the positioning part is the contact surface of the first member 1823 (erroneous sticking prevention part 1823e). has the same effect, so the description is omitted here.

According to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the first member 1823 has a portion of the peripheral wall of the mounting recess 1823b to which the decorative body 1804 is attached as a contact surface of the first member 1823 (erroneous attachment prevention portion 1823e). Therefore, when attaching the decoration 1804 to the mounting recess 1823b of the flat plate portion 1823a of the first member 1823, two adjacent sides of the decoration 1804 are placed against the first member 1823 on the peripheral wall portion of the mounting recess 1823b. By affixing the decorative body 1804 to the first member 1823, the decorative body 1804 can be positioned relative to the first member 1823. can be facilitated, and the decorative body 1804 can be accurately pasted at a regular position. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the decorative body 1804 is attached to the first member 1823 in an inclined or misaligned state by the abutting surface (erroneous sticking prevention portion 1823e) of the first member 1823. And since it is possible to suppress deterioration of the appearance of the first member 1823, the decoration effect of the decoration body 1804 can be surely exhibited, and the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 is improved to prevent the player from losing interest. can be suppressed.

In addition, since the decorative body 1804 can be accurately pasted at the correct position by the contact surface (erroneous pasting prevention portion 1823e) of the first member 1823, the decorative body 1804 can be easily pasted at the correct position. An increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed by reducing failures in pasting the body 1804.例文帳に追加

Furthermore, since the decoration 1804 has an asymmetrical shape, it is possible to prevent the orientation of the decoration 1804 from being mistaken. The decoration effect by 1804 can be exhibited reliably.

In addition, since the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1823e protruding from the peripheral wall of the mounting recess 1823b in the first member 1823 is provided, if the decorative body 1804 is pasted in the wrong direction, the decoration will be damaged at the erroneous sticking prevention portion 1823e. Since the body 1804 is turned up, it is possible to recognize that the attachment direction of the decoration body 1804 is wrong, and the decoration body 1804 is reattached in the correct direction to ensure the decoration effect of the decoration body 1804. - 特許庁can be exhibited.

In addition, since the separation hole 1823c penetrating the flat plate portion 1823a is provided in the mounting recess 1823b of the first member 1823 to which the decorative body 1804 is attached, a rod-shaped member is inserted into the separation hole 1823c from the back side of the first member 1823. Then, when the back surface of the decoration 1804 is pressed by the tip thereof, a part of the decoration 1804 is lifted from the flat plate portion 1823a of the first member 1823 to the front side against the adhesive force of the adhesive surface 1804b. By pulling this portion, it can be removed from the flat plate portion 1823a, and the decorative body 1804 can be easily peeled off.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the decoration body 1804 having a predetermined decoration is attached to the mounting recess 1823b of the flat plate part 1823a of the first member 1823. The appearance of the first member 1823 can be improved, and the decorative body 1804 can be supported by the first member 1823 . In addition, since the mounting recess 1823b to which the decorative body 1804 is attached is recessed from the surface of the flat plate portion 1823a, when the decorative body 1804 is adhered to the mounting recess 1823b, the mounting recess in the flat plate portion 1823a of the first member 1823 Since the portion around 1823b surrounds the periphery of the decoration 1804, the decoration 1804 can be highlighted by being bordered by the portion, and the decoration effect of the decoration of the decoration 1804 can be easily exhibited. By doing so, the appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.

The adhesive surface 1804b of the decoration 1804 attached to the mounting recess 1823b of the flat plate portion 1823a consists of a band frame-shaped part on the periphery of the decoration 1804 and a band-shaped part diagonally crossing the band frame-shaped part. Since it is provided only on a specific portion and is not provided on the entire back surface, the adhesion strength is weaker than conventional ones. Therefore, when a rod-shaped member is inserted into the separation hole 1823c from the back side of the first member 1823, and the tip of the rod-shaped member is pressed against the back side of the decoration 1804, even a relatively weak force resists the adhesive force of the adhesive surface 1804b and the first member is pushed. The decoration 1804 can be removed from the flat plate portion 1823a of the 1823, and even if the strength of the decoration 1804 itself is weak, the decoration 1804 can be removed without being broken in the middle, and the workability of removing the decoration 1804 is improved. can be improved.

Also, from the above, when the pachinko machine 1 is manufactured, if the decorative body 1804 cannot be properly attached to the flat plate portion 1823a of the first member 1823, the decorative body 1804 is separated from the back side of the first member 1823. The decoration 1804 can be easily removed from the flat plate portion 1823a by passing a rod-shaped member through the hole 1823c and pressing the decoration 1804 from the back side with the tip of the rod, so that the decoration 1804 can be easily reattached. . Further, in a state in which the first member 1823 is removed from the pachinko machine 1, a rod-like member is passed through the separation hole 1823c from the back side of the first member 1823, and the front end of the rod-shaped member is pressed against the decoration body 1804 from the back side. Since the decoration 1804 can be easily removed from the flat plate portion 1823a, the replacement work of the decoration 1804 can be facilitated when the model is changed. Furthermore, as described above, the decorative body 1804 can be easily removed from the flat plate portion 1823a using the separation hole 1823c, so that the constituent parts of the pachinko machine 1 can be easily sorted by material. Therefore, the cost of discarding the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

Furthermore, since the separation hole 1823c of the first member 1823 is provided at a position that does not contact the adhesive surface 1804b of the decorative body 1804, the entire surface of the adhesive surface 1804b can be attached to the flat plate portion 1823a of the first member 1823. Accordingly, by providing the adhesive surface 1804b only on a part (specific portion) of the decorative body 1804, the attachment strength is lower than in the conventional art. The adhesive surface 1804b is covered with the separation hole 1823c, which can prevent the adhesion strength from lowering more than necessary. can be attached.

In addition, since the adhesive surface 1804b of the decorative body 1804 is provided on the belt-shaped portion of the peripheral edge and the obliquely crossing belt-shaped portion (diagonal portion), the decorative body is formed by the belt-shaped portion of the adhesive surface 1804b. Since the peripheral edge of the decoration 1804 can be attached to the flat plate portion 1823a, the peripheral edge of the decoration 1804 can be prevented from rising from the flat plate portion 1823a, and the decoration 1804 can be made difficult to peel off starting from the peripheral edge. In addition, since the belt-like portion that crosses obliquely across the adhesive surface 1804b allows the portion near the center of the decorative body 1804 to be attached to the flat plate portion 1823a, the first member may be affected by changes in the environment such as temperature and humidity. Even if the shrinkage difference between the decoration 1823 and the decoration 1804 becomes large, swelling or wrinkling of the decoration 1804 can be reduced, and deterioration of the appearance of the decoration 1804 can be prevented. Therefore, the decorative effect of the decorative body 1804 can be exhibited without fail, and a larger decorative body 1804 can be adhered to the flat plate portion 1823a in good condition, thereby strongly attracting the player's interest. A highly appealing pachinko machine 1 can be provided.

Furthermore, since the adhesive surface 1804b is provided on the periphery of the decorative body 1804, the decorative body 1804 and the first member 1823 are translucent, and the rear side of the first member 1823 is placed on the decorative body 1804 side. When a light source such as an LED for irradiating light is provided, the band frame-shaped glue surface 1804b is positioned at a position that does not interfere with the light from the light source, and the light is diffused or attenuated by the glue surface 1804b for decoration. Since deterioration of the appearance of the luminous decoration of the body 1804 can be reduced, the decorative body 1804 can be luminous decorated in a good state, and the light source can be visually recognized in a good state through the decorative body 1804 and the first member 1823. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high performance effects and display effects.

In addition, since the separation hole 1823c is provided in the mounting recess 1823b of the flat plate portion 1823a in the first member 1823, the separation hole 1823c can be made difficult to see or hidden from the front side by attaching the decorative body 1804 to the mounting recess 1823b. This makes it possible to suppress the deterioration of the appearance due to the separation hole 1823c, to make it difficult for the player to notice the existence of the separation hole 1823c, and to make it difficult to plan a fraudulent act using the separation hole 1823c. be able to.

In addition, since the separation hole 1823c is provided at a portion close to the periphery of the decoration 1804, a rod-like member is inserted into the separation hole 1823c from the back side of the first member 1823 to press the back side of the decoration 1804. Then, since the portion of the decoration 1804 that is pressed by the rod-shaped member is close to the peripheral edge of the decoration 1804, the peripheral side of the decoration 1804 tends to be lifted from the portion that is in contact with the rod-shaped member, and the attached decoration is lifted. 1804 can be made easier to remove.

Furthermore, since the separation hole 1823c is provided at a portion close to the peripheral edge of the decoration 1804, when the rod-shaped member presses the decoration 1804 from the rear side of the first member 1823 through the separation hole 1823c, the decoration 1804 is pressed as described above. In addition, since the portion of the decorative body 1804 that is in contact with the rod-shaped member is lifted from the flat plate portion 1823a, the lifted portion of the decorative body 1804 is grasped and pulled, thereby separating the decorative body 1804 from the flat plate portion 1823a. can be easily removed by turning it over.

In addition, since the separation hole 1823c is provided with a size that allows contact with a circle with a diameter of 2 mm to 6 mm, in addition to the same effects as above, the upper limit of the size of the separation hole 1823c is provided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the paste surface of the decorative body 1804 from becoming smaller than necessary due to the presence of the separation hole 1823c, thereby maintaining the desired adhesion strength to the flat plate portion 1823a.

Further, as described above, since the mounting recess 1823b to which the decoration 1804 is attached is recessed from the flat plate portion 1823a, the decoration 1804 is pasted using the boundary between the flat plate portion 1823a and the mounting recess 1823b as a guide. By attaching the decoration body 1804, it is possible to easily stick the decoration body 1804 at the correct position, and it is possible to reduce the failure of sticking the decoration body 1804 and suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加

In addition, since the decoration 1804 is attached to the mounting recess 1823b recessed from the flat plate portion, in order to remove the decoration 1804 from the front side, a slotted screwdriver is inserted between the decoration 1804 and the bottom surface of the mounting recess 1823b. Even if an attempt is made to insert such a tool, the insertion of the tool is blocked by the peripheral wall portion of the recessed mounting recess 1823b. Since the separation hole 1823c is provided in the mounting recess 1823b to which the decoration 1804 is attached, the rod-like member is inserted into the separation hole 1823c from the back side to attach the decoration 1804 as described above. By pressing to the front side, the decorative body 1804 can be easily removed from the recessed mounting recess 1823b, and the same effect as described above can be achieved.

Furthermore, in the conventional technology (pachinko machine), since the hole for peeling off the seal penetrates to the rear side of the pachinko machine (game board), a linear tool such as a piano wire is passed through the hole. This makes it possible for the game ball B to reach the path, the signal line, etc., thus posing a problem that fraud is more likely to occur. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a second member (see the second member 1841, the second member 1842, etc. in FIG. 205) that can close the separation hole 1823c on the back side of the first member 1823. FIG. As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 is assembled, the rear side of the separation hole 1823c is closed from the outside by the second member. can be prevented from inserting a linear fraudulent tool such as a piano wire into the game board 5 through the hole, and fraud can be prevented.

Further, when the second member (see the second member 1841, the second member 1842, etc. in FIG. 205) for closing the separation hole 1823c is provided on the back side of the first member 1823 as described above, the unauthorized tool can be removed from the front side. Even if it is inserted through the decorative body 1804 and into the separation hole 1823c, the tip of the unauthorized tool comes into contact with the second member, blocking the insertion (intrusion) of the second member to the outside (into the game board 5). Therefore, it is possible to prevent an illegal tool from entering the game board 5 from the front side through the separation hole 1823c, and it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed, and the illegal tool can be prevented from entering the decoration body 1804. Since a mark is left on the decoration body 1804 by piercing the hole, it is possible to make the execution of fraudulent act hesitant, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrence against fraudulent activity.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 of the base unit 710 provided in the board unit 700 below the game board 5 in the main body frame 4, the game When the game ball B released from the board 5 is clogged, the security cover 714 closing the release port 711b of the front base 711 is opened, and the notch portion 713q above the release port 711b among the plurality of notch portions 713q is minus. By inserting a rod-like tool such as a screwdriver and striking the clogged game balls B, the clogging can be easily eliminated by breaking the game balls B.例文帳に追加After that, by closing the removal opening 711b with the crime prevention cover 714, a linear unauthorized tool such as a piano wire can be inserted into the first ball path 701 or the second ball path 702 through the removal opening 711b and the notch 713q. can be blocked by the security cover 714 . If an unauthorized tool is inserted into the first ball path 701 or the second ball path 702 from the notch 713q or the exit of the first ball path 701 or the second ball path 702, the tip of the tool is inserted into the first ball path 701 And in order to extend from the entrance of the second ball path 702 (the ball socket 711a of the front base 711) to the game board 5, the tip of the illegal tool is brought into contact with the inner surface of the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702. However, if it abuts against any of a plurality of hindrance ribs 713o extending downward from the ceilings of the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702, the hindrance ribs 713o hinder the movement of the unauthorized tool. can do. In this way, the security cover 714 and the plurality of obstruction ribs 713o can prevent cheating on the game board 5 via the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702, and the deterrence against cheating is high. A pachinko machine 1 can be provided.

In addition, since the base unit 710 is formed transparently, when clogging of the game balls B occurs in the first ball path 701 or the second ball path 702, the place where the ball clogging occurs can be easily seen from the outside. can be easily recognized, and the work for solving the problem can be facilitated, thereby reducing the burden of maintenance on the game hall side.

Further, in the base unit 710, since the discharge passage for discharging the game balls B is composed of the independent first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702, many game balls B are discharged from the game board 5 in a short time. 701 and the second ball path 702. Therefore, many game balls B can be distributed to the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702. It is possible to reduce the concentration of the game balls B, avoid the easy occurrence of ball clogging due to the concentration of the game balls B, and increase the number of game balls released from the game board 5. B can be quickly discharged to the island facility side (out receiving section, bucket, etc.) of the game hall.

Further, since the game ball B flowing through the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 can be detected by the first ball sensor 703 and the second ball sensor 704, the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 701 can be detected. Since the number of game balls B ejected from the path 702 can be counted, by comparing with the number of game balls B counted on the upstream game board 5, the game board 5, the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 701 can be counted. It is possible to determine whether or not there is fraudulent action on the two-ball path 702, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrence against fraudulent action.

In addition, since the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 that are independent in the front-rear direction constitute the discharge path, the game ball B (safe ) and a game ball B (out ball) not accepted in the winning opening are released to different positions in the front-rear direction, so that the game ball B accepted in the winning opening and the game ball B received in the winning opening are released. The game balls B that have not been accepted can be discharged through the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 which are different from each other. Since the game board is provided with the first ball sensor 703 and the second ball sensor 704 that can detect the game balls B flowing through the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 one by one. 5, the number of game balls B (safe balls) accepted in the winning openings and the number of game balls B (out balls) not accepted in the winning openings can be counted. By comparing with the number of game balls B (safe balls) counted in 5, it is possible to determine whether or not there is fraudulent activity with respect to the prize winning opening of the game board 5, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 that has a high deterrent effect on fraudulent actions.

Furthermore, since the number of game balls B released from the game board 5 can be counted by the first ball sensor 703 and the second ball sensor 704 provided in the base unit 710 (ball path member 713), the game There is no need to provide the board 5 with a sensor, an electronic circuit, or the like for counting the number of game balls B released (discharged) to the outside, and the cost of the game board 5 can be reduced.

In addition, since the crime prevention cover 714 for opening and closing the security opening 711b is hinge-rotatably attached to the front base 711, even when the crime prevention cover 714 opens the security opening 711b, the crime prevention cover 714 is still held by the hinge shaft of the hinge rotation. It is in a state of being attached to the front base 711 . Therefore, even if the security cover 714 is opened in order to eliminate the clogging of the game balls B in the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702, the security cover 714 remains attached to the front base 711. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to lose the security cover 714 .

In addition, the crime prevention cover 714 is provided on the lower surface of the base unit 710, and the crime prevention cover 714 is attached to the front base 711 so as to be hinge-rotatable. Since it is provided so as to extend to the right (horizontal direction), when clogging the game balls B in the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702, the outer frame attached to the island facility of the game hall 2, the body frame 4 is opened forward, the security cover 714 is opened, and a predetermined tool is inserted into the elimination opening 711b to eliminate ball clogging. After that, after closing the crime prevention cover 714, the body frame 4 is closed to the outer frame 2. At this time, if the crime prevention cover 714 is open, the tip of the crime prevention cover 714 may touch the outer frame 2. Since the body frame 4 cannot be closed due to contact with the object, it is possible to remind the user that the security cover 714 has been forgotten to close, and the security cover 714 can be closed to reliably close the release port 711b. Even if the security cover 714 is opened for some reason while the body frame 4 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the security cover 714 contacts the outer frame 2 when the body frame 4 is opened. As a result, the security cover 714 rotates in the closing direction, so that the main body frame 4 does not become blocked, and the main body frame 4 can be opened satisfactorily. can be prevented.

Furthermore, since the ball path member 713 forming the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 is provided with a plurality of notches 713q, dust and dirt entering the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 , the dust adhering to the game ball B can be discharged below the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 through the notch 713q, and the dust in the first ball path 701 and the second ball path 702 can be discharged. can reduce the occurrence of clogging of the game balls B caused by dust, and the burden of maintenance on the side of the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

In addition, since a part of the plurality of cutouts 713q is also used as a tool insertion opening for inserting a tool for eliminating ball clogging, there is no need to provide a separate tool insertion opening, and the configuration of the pachinko machine 1 is achieved. can be simplified, an increase in cost can be suppressed, and the same effects as described above can be achieved.

In addition, in the base unit 710, dust that has fallen through the notch 713q is prevented from getting on the first sphere sensor 703 and the second sphere sensor 704.

Therefore, even if an attempt is made to insert a tool such as a slotted screwdriver between the decorative body and the attachment portion, the insertion of the tool is blocked by the recessed peripheral wall portion of the attachment portion. On the other hand, the separation holes of the first member (separation hole 1023, separation hole 1821d, separation hole 1822c, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.) are provided in a portion where one side is closed by the decoration. Therefore, a separation hole is provided in the adhesion part to which the decorative body is adhered. The attachment to the part can be easily released, and the decorative body can be easily removed from the recessed attachment part. Therefore, when the pachinko machine 1 is manufactured, if the flat plate portion of the first member cannot be properly adhered, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole from the other side of the first member, and the decoration body is pushed by the tip of the bar-shaped member. By pressing from the other side, the attachment to the flat plate portion can be easily released, so that the decoration can be easily removed from the flat plate portion of the first member, and the decoration can be attached again. . In addition, in a state in which the first member and the second member are separated, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole from the other side of the first member, and the tip of the rod-shaped member is pressed against the decoration body from the other side, whereby the flat plate of the first member is Since the attachment to the part can be easily released, the decoration can be easily removed from the flat plate part, and the decoration can be easily replaced when the model is changed. Furthermore, as described above, when the first member and the second member are separated, the decorative body can be easily removed from the flat plate portion using the separation hole. It is possible to facilitate the sorting work for each material, and reduce the cost of discarding the pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加

In addition, the flat plate portion (the front surface of the front structural member 1000, the flat plate portion 1821a, the flat plate portion 1822a, the flat plate portion 1822a, the flat plate portion 1822a, Separation holes (separation hole 1023, separation hole 1821d, separation hole 1822c, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.) are provided in the front surface of the front member 2531, front plate portion 2810a, etc.). By adhering (spec seal 1020, lower right guide passage decorative seal 2532, gate seal 2811, decorative body 1801, decorative body 1802, decorative body 1803, etc.), the separation hole is made difficult to see or hidden from one side. It is possible to suppress deterioration of the appearance due to the separation hole, make it difficult for the player to notice the existence of the separation hole, and make it difficult to plan a fraudulent act through the separation hole. .

Then, in the state assembled to the pachinko machine 1, the first members (the front component member 1000, the second Separation holes (separation holes 1023, 1821d, 1822c) from the other side of the flat plate portion (the front surface of the front component 1000, the flat plate portion 1821a, the flat plate portion 1822a, etc.) of the first member 1821, the first member 1822, etc. , etc.) so as to surround the extension part (insertion pin 1022, boss part 1821c, rib 1822d, etc.) extends to the second member (game panel 1100, second member 1841, second member 1842, etc.) , the second member is attached to the other side of the first member, and the other side of the separation hole forms a closed space insulated from the outside by the extending portion and one side surface of the second member, It is possible to prevent an unauthorized tool from being inserted into the separation hole from the outside of the extension part or the other side of the second member, and at the same time, unlike a conventional pachinko machine, it does not have a hole that passes through to the opposite side. Instead, it is possible to prevent a linear fraudulent tool such as a piano wire from being inserted into the pachinko machine 1 through the hole, thereby preventing fraud.

In addition, the second member (game panel 1100, second member 1841, second member 1842, etc.) makes the other side of the separation hole (separation hole 1023, separation hole 1821d, separation hole 1822c, etc.) a closed space. Even if the unauthorized tool is passed through the separation hole from one side through the decoration (spec seal 1020, decoration 1801, decoration 1802, decoration 1803, etc.), the tip of the unauthorized tool is cut off from the outside. It will be inserted into the closed space, and the extending portion (insertion pin 1022, boss portion 1821c, rib 1822d, etc.) of the first member (front component member 1000, first member 1821, first member 1822, etc.) and the second Since it is possible to block insertion (intrusion) into the passage part (game area 5a, etc.) side and the pachinko machine 1 by the two members, illegal tools entering the pachinko machine 1 from one side through the separation hole Intrusion can be prevented, and fraudulent actions can be prevented through the separation holes and passages. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can make players hesitate to play and has a high deterrent to fraudulent actions.

Further, by inserting the positioning projection 1841b of the second member 1841 into the separation hole 1821d from the other side of the first member 1821, the first member 1821 and the second member 1841 can be positioned relative to each other. Such labor can be simplified, and an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed. In addition, when the first member 1821 and the second member 1841 are positioned by inserting the positioning protrusion 1841b into the separation hole 1821d, the other side of the separation hole 1821d can be closed by the positioning protrusion 1841b. 1821d itself can be made into the closed space mentioned above, and the pachinko machine 1 with the same effect as the above can be provided.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, a passage member ( Game panel 1100, center base plate 2540, gate sensor 2801, etc.) provided on the front side (front component 1000, front member 2531 of center accessory 2500, gate body 2810 of gate member 2800, etc.) A decorative body (spec seal 1020, lower right guide passage decorative seal 2532, gate seal 2811, etc.), the appearance of the passage member can be improved by the decoration of the decorative body. In addition, since the portion to be decorated, to which the ornamental body is attached, is recessed rearward from the depth of the ornamental body in the front-rear direction, when the ornamental body is attached to the portion to be decorated, the portion to be decorated in the front member will be dented. Since the surrounding part projects forward from the front surface of the decoration, the decoration can be highlighted by being bordered by the forwardly projecting part of the front member, and the decorative effect of the decoration of the decoration. The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved by making it easy to exert

In addition, the parts to be decorated (spec seal sticking part 1021, sticking concave part 2531a, sticking concave part 2810b, etc.) to which decorations (spec seal 1020, lower right guide passage decorative sticker 2532, gate seal 2811, etc.) are attached are rearward. Since it is recessed, the decoration body can be attached using the protruding periphery of the decorated portion of the front member (the front component member 1000, the front member 2531 of the center accessory 2500, the gate body 2810 of the gate member 2800, etc.) as a guide. By attaching the ornaments, it is possible to easily attach the ornaments to the correct positions, reduce failures in attaching the ornaments, and suppress an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加

In this pachinko machine 1, the front member (the front component 1000, the front member 2531 of the center accessory 2500, the gate main body 2810 of the gate member 2800, etc.) is decorated (spec seal sticking portion 1021, sticking concave portion 2531a, sticking concave portion 2810b, etc.) are recessed backward, the decoration body (spec seal 1020, lower right guide passage decoration seal 2532, gate seal 2811, etc.) is attached to the part to be decorated. Since the contact surface with the decorative part is at a recessed position, it is difficult to hook the decorative body from the front side even if the decorative body adhered to the part to be decorated is to be removed, and it takes time and effort to remove the decorative body. On the other hand, since the part to be decorated is provided with separation holes (separation hole 1023, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.), a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole from the rear of the front member and the decoration is pushed forward. Thus, the attachment to the part to be decorated can be easily released, and the decorative body can be easily removed from the part to be decorated. Therefore, if the ornament cannot be properly adhered to the portion to be decorated of the front member during manufacture, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation hole from the rear of the front member, and the tip of the rod-shaped member pushes the ornament from the rear. By doing so, the attachment to the portion to be decorated can be easily released, so that the decoration can be easily removed from the portion to be decorated, and the decoration can be attached again.

In addition, the front member (the front component member 1000, the front member 2531 of the center accessory 2500, the gate body 2810 of the gate member 2800, etc.) and the passage member (the game panel 1100, the center base plate 2540, the gate sensor 2801, etc.) In the separated state, a rod-shaped member is passed through the separation holes (separation hole 1023, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.) from the rear of the front member, and the tip of the bar-shaped member is attached to the decoration body (spec seal 1020, lower right guide passage decoration seal 2532). , gate seal 2811, etc.) can be easily released from adhesion with the parts to be decorated (spec seal sticking part 1021, sticking concave part 2531a, sticking concave part 2810b, etc.). The decoration can be easily removed from the decoration part, and the replacement work of the decoration accompanying model change can be facilitated. Furthermore, as described above, when the front member and the passage member are separated from each other, the decoration can be easily removed from the part to be decorated using the separation hole. It is possible to make it easy to perform the sorting work for each, and to reduce the cost of discarding the pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加

In addition, since separation holes (separation hole 1023, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.) are provided in the part to be decorated (spec seal sticking part 1021, sticking recess 2531a, sticking recess 2810b, etc.), the part to be decorated By adhering decorations (spec seal 1020, lower right guide passage decoration seal 2532, gate seal 2811, etc.), the separation hole can be made difficult to see or hidden from the front, and deterioration of the appearance due to the separation hole can be suppressed. At the same time, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the existence of the separation hole, and to make it difficult for the player to plan a fraudulent act through the separation hole.

Then, in the state where it is assembled to the pachinko machine 1, the front member (the front component member 1000, the center role A separation hole (separation hole 1023, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.) are closed from the rear, unlike conventional pachinko machines, holes that pass through to the rear side are not penetrated, so that the piano wire can be passed through the holes. It is possible to prevent such a linear fraudulent tool from being inserted into the pachinko machine 1 and to prevent fraudulent acts.

In addition, since the passage members (game panel 1100, center base plate 2540, gate sensor 2801, etc.) close the separation holes (separation hole 1023, separation hole 2531b, separation hole 2810d, etc.) from the back, is inserted into the separation hole from the front through the decorative body (the spec seal 1020, the lower right guide passage decorative seal 2532, the gate seal 2811, etc.), the passage member prevents further insertion (intrusion) to the rear. Since it can be blocked, an unauthorized tool can be prevented from entering the passage from the front through the separation hole (game area 5a, lower right guide passage 2530, detection hole (gate 2003) of gate sensor 2801, etc.) It is possible to block and prevent fraudulent acts from being performed, and since a mark is left on the ornamental body by the unauthorized tool piercing the ornamental body, it is possible to make the execution of the fraudulent act hesitant. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrence against

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, in the back front effect unit 3100 of the back unit 3000 on the game board 5, the light guide plate 3110 and the LED 3176 for displaying the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 are mounted. In front of the light guide plate lower left decorative board 3174 and the light guide plate lower right decorative board 3175, the back front lower middle decorative board 3168, the back front lower left inner decorative board 3169, the back front lower left outer side of the back front lower effect unit 3160 are arranged. Decoration substrate 3170, back front lower right inner decoration substrate 3171, back front lower right outer decoration substrate 3172, etc. are mounted on the back front lower middle decoration body 3161, back front lower middle decoration, which can be decorated with LEDs emitting light forward. A left inner decoration 3163, a back front lower left outer decoration 3164, a back front lower right inner decoration 3165, a back front lower right outer decoration 3166, etc. are provided. By providing the LED 3176 (light guide plate lower left decorative substrate 3174 and light guide plate lower right decorative substrate 3175), the LED 3176 can be made invisible (hidden) from the player by the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 etc. However, it is possible to make it difficult for the user to notice the presence of the LED 3176, that is, the light guide plate 3110. In this state, the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 is illuminated by the LEDs 3176, and the LEDs mounted on the back front, bottom, middle decoration substrate 3168, etc. emit light to decorate the back, front, bottom, middle decorations 3161, and the like. Then, the light from the LEDs 3176 is light reflected forward by the light guide plate 3110, whereas the light from the LEDs such as the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 is light emitted directly forward. The back front lower middle decorative body 3161 or the like decorated with light emission can be made to shine more brightly than the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110, and the player's interest is strongly attracted to the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 or the like. can be made Further, since the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 that is displayed by light emission extends upward from a predetermined position (a position slightly above) close to the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 or the like decorated with light emission, Since the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 strongly misleads the player as if the light from the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 or the like decorated with light emitting light is used as a light source, it is strongly misunderstood. A player can be shown a light emitting effect using the light guide plate 3110, which has never been seen in a pachinko machine until now, and the player can be entertained to suppress the decline of the player's interest.

In addition, since the light guide plate lower left decorative substrate 3174, the light guide plate lower right decorative substrate 3175, and the back front lower middle decoration body 3161, etc. are provided in front of the light guide plate 3110, the light guide plate lower left decorative substrate 3174 and the light guide plate The light from the LED mounted on the lower right decorative substrate 3175 illuminates the light guide plate 3110, and the transparent light guide plate 3110 can be prevented from being seen by the player. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 capable of sufficiently exhibiting the production effect by the light emitting display such as 3112 and surely exhibiting the above-described operational effects.

In addition, since the light-transmitting rear front lower middle decorative body 3161 and the like are provided in front of the light guide plate lower left decorative substrate 3174 and the light guide plate lower right decorative substrate 3175, the light guide plate lower left decorative substrate 3174 and the light guide plate lower left decorative substrate 3174 and the light guide plate When the LEDs mounted on the lower right decorative substrate 3175 emit light, the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 and the like can be decorated with light emission. , back front lower middle decorative body 3161 and the like can be shown to the player, and the player can be prevented from getting bored by the various effects, thereby suppressing the loss of interest.

Further, when the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 is illuminated and the LEDs mounted on the lower left decorative substrate 3174 and the lower right decorative substrate 3175 of the light guide plate are illuminated, as described above, the lower left of the light guide plate is displayed. The back, front, bottom, middle decorations 3161, etc. are brightly illuminated by the LEDs mounted on the decoration substrate 3174 and the light guide plate lower right decoration substrate 3175, and the back, front, bottom, middle decorations 3161, etc. are decorated with light to attract the attention of the player. At the same time, the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 extending upward from the upper predetermined position close to the back front lower middle decoration 3161 attracts the player's attention to the back front lower middle decoration 3161. From 3161 or the like, the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 can be directed upward to where the second pattern 3112 extends. Therefore, a part of the display screen of the production display device 1600, the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 in the rear rear upper production unit 3200, etc. are provided at the upper end where the second pattern 3112 skein extends. At the point where the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 extends, it is possible to make the player excited and excited depending on whether or not further effects (effects by effect images, movable effects, etc.) are executed. It is possible to suppress the decline in interest.

In addition, the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 is composed of a plurality of line groups 3114 each including five lines 3113 extending upward from a predetermined position, and each line 3113 emits light independently. Since it is possible to display and LEDs 3176 (first LED 3176a to fifth LED 3176e) are provided so as to correspond to each line 3113, the first LED 3176a to fifth LED 3176e of the LED group 3177 are caused to emit light in order. A pseudo animation can be shown by changing the displayed line 3113 . Further, since the rear front lower middle decoration body 3161 and the like are provided at a lower position close to the positions (predetermined positions) of the lower ends of the plurality of lines 3113, the second pattern 3112 of the light guide plate 3110 is decorated with light emission. Since the light from the front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 and the like can be used as a light source to make it look as if it is moving, a strong impact can be given to the player, and it is possible to make the player think that something good is about to happen. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation for the game and suppress the decrease in interest.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the special lottery lottery result (special lottery result) is drawn by establishment of the start condition by accepting the game ball B into the first start port 2002 or the second start port 2004. Then, in the function display unit 1400A and the function display unit 1400B, the plurality of LEDs 1401 of the function display board 1402, the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b of the function display board 1411 light up and blink, so that the special symbol is variably displayed. A special pattern suggesting a special lottery result is displayed by a combination of lighting and extinguishing of a plurality of LEDs 1401, left LED 1411a and right LED 1411b. At this time, the light from the plurality of LEDs 1401, the left LED 1411a, and the right LED 1411b is partially emitted by the plurality of display holes 1405a of the front reflector 1405 and the plurality of display holes 1414a of the front reflector 1414, which are independently emitted forward. is emitted only to one eye of the player, and at least a portion of the remainder is emitted only to the other eye of the player, so that the player can see with both eyes at the same time. Therefore, since the light from all the LEDs 1401, the left LED 1411a, and the right LED 1411b can be seen, it is possible to visually recognize the lighting and extinguishing of the plurality of LEDs 1401, the left LED 1411a, and the right LED 1411b in a good condition. The LED 1401, the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b can be clearly visually recognized, and the display functions of the plurality of LEDs 1401, the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b can be exhibited without inferiority.

When the plurality of LEDs 1401, the left LED 1411a, and the right LED 1411b (the function display unit 1400A and the function display unit 1400B) are photographed with a digital camera or mobile phone camera, as described above, when viewed with both eyes of the player, all Since the light from the LED 1401, the left LED 1411a and the right LED 1411b can be seen, only one of the two eyes can be photographed with a monocular camera. It can make it difficult to shoot accurately. Therefore, since the lighting conditions of the plurality of LEDs 1401, the left LED 1411a, and the right LED 1411b cannot be reflected accurately, a special symbol that generates an advantageous game state (for example, a "jackpot" game) that is advantageous to the player is displayed. It is possible to make it impossible to easily determine whether or not the player is present, and to suppress the decrease in interest by entertaining the performance suggesting the lottery result of the special lottery to the end.

In addition, in the function display unit 1400A, part of the plurality of display holes 1405a in front of the reflector 1405 are tilted in the front-rear direction toward the position of one of the player's eyes, and the rest are tilted toward the position of the other eye of the player. It is slanted with respect to the front-rear direction toward the position, and it is made to face straight in the front-rear direction. As a result, in addition to the same effects as described above, the inclination of the display hole 1405a allows players other than those seated in front of the pachinko machine 1 to see the light from all the LEDs 1401 in good condition. Since it is possible to make it difficult for other players, it is possible to make it difficult for other players to grasp the game situation, and it is possible to reduce the possibility that other players will look into the game. The game can be enjoyed without hesitation.

In addition, in the function display unit 1400B, the plurality of left LEDs 1411a and the plurality of right LEDs 1411b mounted on the function display substrate 1411 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance (40 mm to 80 mm) in the left-right direction, and are positioned in front of them. Since the front reflector 1414 having a plurality of display holes 1414a is provided in the front reflector 1414, the same effect as described above can be achieved. It becomes easy to remove the mold when molding the hole 1414a, and an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Furthermore, in the function display unit 1400C, since the light from the plurality of LEDs 1421a mounted on the function display substrate 1421 can be seen from the player side through the transparent light guide plate 1423, the special symbols by the plurality of LEDs 1421a can be played in good condition. can show people. At this time, if the invisible light LED 1424a irradiates the side surface of the light guide plate 1423 with invisible light, the invisible light incident from the side surface is emitted from the light guide plate 1423 forward toward the player. Since the emitted invisible light cannot be seen by the player, the special pattern by the plurality of LEDs 1421a can be clearly seen through the light guide plate 1423, and the display function by the plurality of LEDs 1421a can be exhibited without inferiority. When the invisible light LED 1424a is emitting light, if a photograph is taken from the front using a digital camera or the like, depending on the model of the digital camera or the like, invisible light emitted forward from the light guide plate 1423 may be captured. The light from the plurality of LEDs 1421a provided behind is difficult to be reflected by being brightly reflected, and it is possible to make it difficult to determine the light emission state of the plurality of LEDs 1421a. can be materialized.

Also, in the function display unit 1400 or the like, the main control board 1310 may blink a plurality of LEDs at a speed at which the player can recognize that the special symbols are lit. As a result, even if the plurality of LEDs of the function display unit 1400 are blinked at a predetermined speed by the main control board 1310, the display of the special symbols by the plurality of LEDs can be clearly displayed because it appears to the player that they are lit. It is possible to fully demonstrate the display function of the plurality of LEDs. When the LED blinking at a predetermined speed by the main control board 1310 is photographed with a digital camera or the like, depending on the shutter speed, the LED may appear to be turned off even though the LED is turned on. state), the LEDs may appear lit or unlit depending on the timing at which the shutter is released, making it difficult to determine the lighting conditions of the multiple LEDs. , the pachinko machine 1 that exhibits the above-described effects can be embodied with certainty. The predetermined speed of blinking the LED by the main control board 1310 is preferably within the range of 30 Hz to 100 Hz. This is because the light will appear to flash as if it were flashing.

Also, a high-brightness LED capable of forwardly emitting light with higher brightness than the LEDs of the function display unit 1400 or the like may be provided near the function display unit 1400 or the like. As a result, when a high-brightness LED provided close to the function display unit 1400 or the like is caused to emit light, the high-brightness light emitted from the LED makes the player (human) feel dazzling, but the dynamic range allows the player (human) to feel the brightness. Since the area is wide, it is possible to see the light from the LEDs of the function display unit 1400 etc. even though it is dazzling. The display function can be exhibited without inferiority. When the function display unit 1400 or the like is photographed with a digital camera or the like while the high-brightness LED is emitting light, halation is caused by the light from the high-brightness LED because the dynamic range of the brightness of the digital camera is narrower than that of a human being. occurs, and a portion of the function display unit 1400, etc., can be hidden from view by overexposure in the vicinity of the LED. Therefore, it is possible to obscure the light emission status of the plurality of LEDs in the function display unit 1400 and the like, and it is possible to embody the pachinko machine 1 having the same effects as described above.

Also, when the decoration provided behind the game panel 1100 is moved to the rear of the opening 1112 passing through the panel plate 1110A, the decoration can be visually recognized from the front through the opening 1112. It is possible to show the player a movable performance in which the ornament hides and appears. In this way, it is possible to present a variety of light emitting effects and movable effects to the player, thereby making it difficult for the player to get tired of the game and preventing the player from losing interest in the game.

Furthermore, the light from the LEDs 1130a and the like of the panel decoration substrate 1130 can be diffused by the translucent opaque milky-white panel plate 1110A, so that the game panel 1100 can be softly and softly decorated with light emission. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that is easy on the eyes of a player by making the inside of the game area 5a bright as if it were indirect lighting and suppressing the glare caused by the LEDs 1130a.

In addition, since the panel plate 1110A of the game panel 1100 can be decorated with light emission by the LEDs 1130a of the panel decoration substrate 1130, for example, the LEDs 1130a can be provided on the left side and the right side of the panel plate 1110A, and can emit light independently of each other. In addition, if the right side of the game area 5a is illuminated according to the state (progress) of the game, the right side of the game area 5a becomes brighter through the panel plate 1110A. , and can be urged to hit the game ball B to the right part of the game area 5a ("hit to the right"). On the other hand, when the left side is illuminated, the left part of the game area 5a becomes bright through the panel plate 1110A. It can be urged to hit the game ball B into ("left hit"). In this way, by causing the LEDs 1130a at appropriate positions to emit light, it is possible to intuitively understand that the light-emitting decoration of the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110A) advises “left-handed” or “right-handed”. Thus, the player can be entertained with the operation of hitting the game ball B, and the player can be entertained with a new sense of luminous performance not found in the past pachinko machine 1.例文帳に追加

In addition, the game panel 1100 is configured by a plate-like panel plate 1110A (panel plate 1110) and a frame-like panel holder 1120 that is thicker than the panel plate 1110A and holds the outer periphery of the panel plate 1110A. Therefore, if the thickness of the panel holder 1120 is the same as the thickness of the game panel of the conventional pachinko machine, the thickness of the panel plate 1110A (panel plate 1110) on which the game area 5a is provided in front is made thicker than that of the conventional game panel. Since the amount of material used for the game panel 1100 (panel plate 1110, panel plate 1110A) is reduced, the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

In addition, since the game panel 1100 is composed of the panel plate 1110 or the panel plate 1110A and the panel holder 1120, the panel plate 1110A and the panel holder 1120 can be detachably attached, and the panel holder 1120 can be used as a common general-purpose component. becomes. As a result, by mass-producing the panel holder 1120, the cost of the panel holder 1120 can be reduced. etc., can be reduced.

Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, by locking the elastic claw 1062 to the magnetic sensor 1050 while the magnetic sensor 1050 is housed in the housing portion 1061 having the elastic claw 1062 in the holding member 1060, A magnetic sensor 1050 can be provided on the game board 5 via a holding member 1060 . Further, in a state in which the magnetic sensor 1050 is accommodated in the holding container 1072 having the elastic claws 1072a, by locking the elastic claws 1072a to the locking portions 1071a of the holding member 1071, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be detected through the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072. A magnetic sensor 1050 can be provided on the game board 5 . At this time, since the holding member 1060, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072 are made of non-magnetic material, when the magnet 1055 is brought close to the game area 5a, the holding member 1060 and the like attract the magnetic line of force from the magnet 1055. It is possible to prevent the magnetic force lines passing through the magnetic sensor 1050 from decreasing. Therefore, it is possible to easily detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a, and it is possible to detect fraudulent activity using the magnet 1055 at an early stage. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can dissuade a player from committing an act and has a high deterrence against fraudulent acts.

In addition, as described above, the holding member 1060, the holding member 1071, and the holding container 1072 made of non-magnetic material avoid attracting the lines of magnetic force from the magnet 1055, thereby preventing the lines of magnetic force passing through the magnetic sensor 1050 from decreasing. Therefore, it is possible to effectively detect the magnetism acting on the game area 5a with a smaller number of magnetic sensors 1050 than the conventional pachinko machine, and the number of magnetic sensors 1050 can be reduced more than before. An increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

In addition, by elastically deforming the elastic claws 1062 of the housing portion 1061 and the elastic claws 1072a of the holding container 1072, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily attached to and removed from the holding member 1060 and the locking portion 1071a of the holding member 1071. Therefore, the magnetic sensor 1050 can be attached by the elastic claws 1062 and 1072a without using a metal screw made of a magnetic material as in the conventional pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine 1 can be assembled. Such labor can be simplified, and an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 can be suppressed.

Further, a plurality of locking portions 1071a are provided in the holding member 1071 in advance, and the elastic claws 1072a of the holding container 1072 containing the magnetic sensor 1050 are locked to the locking portions 1071a at appropriate positions. can be provided at any position and the position can be easily changed. Therefore, since the position of the magnetic sensor 1050 can be easily changed or added, a pachinko machine 1 capable of easily coping with design changes and model changes while suppressing an increase in the cost of the pachinko machine 1 is provided. be able to.

Further, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is urged into the housing portion 1061 by the projection 1063 of the holding member 1060, fine vibration of the magnetic sensor 1050 due to the urging by the projection 1063 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the disconnection of the connector connected to the magnetic sensor 1050 or the occurrence of poor contact, and the magnetic sensor 1050 can be reliably operated.

In addition, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is held by the holding member 1060, the holding member 1071, and the holding container 1072 so as to be visually recognizable, and the sensor case 1053 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is made transparent, the sensor substrate 1052 can reach the sensor substrate 1052 through the transparent sensor case 1053. The mounted sensor body 1051 can be shown to the player. At this time, since the surface of the sensor substrate 1052 on which the sensor main body 1051 is mounted is white, the sensor main body 1051 having a different color (for example, black) can be conspicuous. Therefore, the player can be made to strongly recognize that the magnetic sensor 1050 is not a dummy but a real one. The execution of the action can be made to hesitate, the deterrence against fraudulent actions can be enhanced, and the burden on the game hall side where the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

Also, even if the sensor main body 1051 is visible through the transparent sensor case 1053, ordinary players do not pay much attention to the existence of the magnetic sensor 1050, so they do not notice it. On the other hand, since a person who intends to commit fraud gazes at the inside of the game area 5a, the contrast between the white sensor substrate 1052 and the black sensor main body 1051 makes the magnetic sensor 1050 easily noticeable. I can see it. Therefore, by noticing the presence of the magnetic sensor 1050, it is possible to make the player hesitate to commit a fraudulent act using a magnet, and the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrent power can be provided.

Furthermore, in the magnetic sensor 1050, since the surface of the sensor substrate 1052 on which the sensor main body 1051 is mounted is white, the sensor substrate 1052 can be made inconspicuous, and the sensor substrate 1052 can be used as a decorative substrate on which LEDs are mounted. can be misidentified as Therefore, even if the sensor substrate 1052 of the magnetic sensor 1050 is visible, ordinary players will not be bothered by it, and it is possible to prevent the appearance of the game area 5a from being degraded.

Further, since the sensor main body 1051 of the magnetic sensor 1050 can be seen from the outside, it is possible to check whether the sensor main body 1051 is damaged or not, so that maintenance work of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. , and the burden on the game hall side in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

In addition, since the magnetic sensor 1050 is provided on the game board 5 via the holding member 1060 made of a non-magnetic material, the holding member 1071 and the holding container 1072, etc., the holding member 1060 and the holding member 1071 are attached to the game board 5. When attaching using a magnetic body such as a screw, the portion of the holding member 1060 or the holding member 1071 attached to the game board 5 is positioned away from the magnetic sensor 1050 or in the game area 5a. It becomes possible to provide at a position outside the magnetic detection range. As a result, the influence of magnetic bodies such as screws can be reduced as much as possible. It is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high deterrence.

[21. Various control processing of the main control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the main control board 1310 according to the progress of the game of the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 210 to 215. FIG. FIG. 210 is a flowchart showing an example of main control side power-on processing, FIG. 211 is a flowchart showing a continuation of the main control side power-on processing of FIG. 210, and FIG. 212 is an example of main control side timer interrupt processing. 213 is a flowchart showing an example of setting change processing, FIG. 214 is a flowchart showing an example of setting value confirmation display processing, and FIG. 215 is a flowchart showing an example of error display processing. First, various random numbers used for game control will be explained, followed by the movement of the initial value update type counter, main control side power on processing, main control side timer interrupt processing, setting change processing, setting value confirmation display processing, error Display processing will be described.

[21-1. Various random numbers]
As various random numbers used for game control, a special random number for use in determining whether or not to generate a big win game state or a small win game state, and an initial value for hit determination for use in determining the initial value of this special random number A decision random number, a reach determination random number for use in determining whether or not to generate a reach (reach loss) when not generating a jackpot gaming state, and a first special symbol display and a second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 A variable display pattern random number for use in determining a variable display pattern of special symbols to be variably displayed on the symbol display device, and a first special symbol display device and a second special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 when generating a jackpot game state. A symbol random number used to determine the jackpot symbols and minor winning symbols derived and displayed on the symbol display (determining the winning type), and a random number for determining the initial value of the jackpot symbol used to determine the initial value of this symbol random number. etc are provided. Also, in addition to these random numbers, the normal symbol per determination random number for use in determining whether to open or close the second start opening door 2411 capable of guiding the game ball B to the second start opening 2004, and this normal For determining the initial value determination random number for determining the normal symbol hit determination for determining the initial value of the random number for determining the symbol hit determination, and for determining the variable display pattern of the normal symbol that is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device of the function display unit 1400. Random numbers for the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern and the like are prepared.

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

[21-2. Operation of initial value update type counter]
For example, the special random number is directly updated by hardware by a main control built-in hard random number circuit built into the main control MPU 1310a. When the main control MPU 1310a is reset, the main control built-in hard random number circuit first uses one value within a predetermined numerical range as an initial value, and performs a high-speed preselection based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. Other values within the predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another, and when all values within the predetermined numerical range are extracted, one value within the predetermined numerical range is extracted again, and the main control Based on the clock signal input to the MPU 1310a, other values within a predetermined numerical range are extracted one after another at high speed. The main control built-in hard random number circuit repeats such a high-speed lottery, and the main control MPU 1310a sets the value extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit at the time of acquiring the value from the main control built-in hard random number circuit as a special random number. It is designed to

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

In this embodiment, when the RAM clear switch (RWM switch 633d) of the payout control board 633 is operated when the power is turned on, the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a in the main control side power-on process, which will be described later The checksum value (sum value) obtained by calculating the sum of the stored various information as numerical values is the stored checksum value ( sum value), etc., when clearing except for a specific area out of all areas of the main control built-in RAM, the initial value determination random number for determining per normal symbol is built in by the main control MPU 1310a An ID code is extracted from a non-volatile RAM, and an initial value derivation process is executed for always deriving the same fixed value from a fixed numerical range of a counter for updating the random number for determining a normal winning pattern based on the extracted ID code. The derived fixed value is set. That is, the initial value determination random number for determining a normal per symbol is always overwritten with the same fixed value derived based on the ID code by executing the initial value deriving process. In this way, the value set to the initial value determination random number for normal per symbol determination is derived using the ID code, and is stored in the non-volatile RAM incorporated in the main control MPU 1310a by the manufacturer that manufactured the main control MPU 1310a. The first security measure is to prevent the ID code from being rewritten using an external device once the ID code is stored. A second security measure of deriving the same fixed value based on the ID code by execution is taken to prevent analysis by taking a two-step security measure.

Here, the advantage of taking out the ID code from the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a and using the taken out ID code as the initial value determination random number for normal per symbol determination will be described. For example, a person who illegally obtains game balls to be paid out as prize balls obtains the game board 5 by some means, disassembles it, and uses the 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 for updating the normal symbol hit determination random number obtained illegally and the normal symbol hit determination value coincide with each other, the ID code is unique for identifying the individual. Since the code is attached, it is completely different from the ID code stored in advance in the non-volatile RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a' provided in 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 normal symbol hit determination random number coincides with the normal symbol hit determination value is 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 the other game board 5', that is, in the other pachinko machine 1', so it is disassembled and analyzed. Even if a momentary power failure is generated at each predetermined interval obtained, and the game ball is passed through the gate 2003 at each predetermined interval, the second start opening door 2411 is opened and closed to move the game ball B to the second start opening 2004. cannot induce a state.

[21-3. Main control side power-on processing]
First, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, the main control MPU 1310a is circuit-configured such that the stack pointer is set to a predetermined address as a default. This stack pointer indicates, for example, the address stacked on the stack to temporarily store the contents of the memory element (register) in use, or the return address of this routine when returning to this routine after terminating a subroutine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for temporary storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked.

Under the control of the main control MPU 1310a, as shown in FIGS. 210 and 211, main control side power-on processing is performed. When this main control side power-on process is started, the main control MPU 1310a sets RAM access permission (step S10). By setting this RAM access permission, it is possible to update the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S10, the main control MPU 1310a performs power failure clear processing (step S12). In this power failure clearing process, wait timer processing is performed to determine whether or not a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit. The voltage does not rise immediately after the power is turned on until it reaches the predetermined voltage. On the other hand, when a power failure or momentary power failure (phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped) occurs, the voltage drops, and when it becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit as a power failure warning. Similarly, when the voltage becomes smaller than the power failure warning voltage during the period from when the power is turned on until it rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit. Therefore, in the wait timer process, after the power is turned on, the process waits until the voltage becomes larger than the blackout warning voltage and becomes stable. In this embodiment, the wait time (wait timer) is set to 200 milliseconds (ms). It is

Following step S12, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the RAM clear switch has been operated (step S14). The RAM clear switch has three functions (RAM clear switch, setting switch button, and error cancel switch), and completely erases the information stored in a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM. functions as a RAM clear switch for In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear is to be performed when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is HI, and determines that the RAM clear switch is not operated. When the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the clear switch is LOW, it is determined that the RAM clear is to be performed and the RAM clear switch is operated. It should be noted that the period from the start of the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, to the determination in step S14 is extremely short. The player turns on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S14 that the RAM clear switch has been operated, it sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16A). On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S14 that the RAM clear switch has not been operated, it sets the value 0 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG (step S16B). That is, the main control MPU 1310a makes it possible to perform RAM clear processing for initializing the RAM (that is, the main control built-in RAM) built into the main control MPU 1310a for a predetermined time after 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, game information related to games such as probability fluctuations, unpaid prize balls, and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls information indicating the value of the information output determination counter) is to be erased. . The value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG set in steps S16A and S16B is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a.

Following step S16A or step S16B, it is determined whether or not the body frame 4 has been opened and the setting key has been turned ON (step S18). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a receives a detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b for detecting the opening of the body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2, and detects whether the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a. When the setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees from the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off), the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. This is done based on the setting key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a when the key is turned ON. It should be noted that the period from the start of the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, to the determination in step S18 is extremely short, and therefore the person who actually turns on the setting key switch 1311a , the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on after the setting key switch 1311a is turned on.

In the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the main body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 from the detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, and furthermore, determines that the setting key switch is turned on by the setting key ON signal. When 1311a determines that the setting key is ON, it sets the value 1 to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG (step S20A). On the other hand, in the determination of step S18, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 based on the detection signal from the body frame open switch 4b, and/or the setting key ON signal. When it is determined that the setting key switch 1311a is not turned ON, the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is set to 0 (step S20B). The setting key ON flag CS-FLG is the current setting value (setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a) stored in a predetermined area (a setting value dedicated area in a specific area, which will be described later) of the main control built-in RAM of the main control MPU 1310a. is a flag that indicates whether or not it is permitted to change or confirm the setting of the set value 1 to set value 6 at the time when is turned ON. A value of 1 is set when display is permitted, and a value of 0 is set when setting changes of set values and confirmation display are not permitted. The value of the setting key ON flag CS-FLG set in steps S20A and S20B is stored in the general storage element (general purpose register) of the main control MPU 1310a.

Following step S20A or step S20B, the main control MPU 1310a performs wait time standby processing (step S22). In this wait time waiting process, the process waits until the system that performs drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 is activated (booted). In this embodiment, 2.5 seconds (s) is set as the waiting time (boot timer) until booting. The peripheral control board 1510 is ready to receive various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) when the main control MPU 1310a completes the wait time standby process. In addition, when the main control MPU 1310a completes the wait time standby process, the payout control board 633 completes booting in a short time compared to the peripheral control board 1510. ) can receive various commands.

After step S22, the main control MPU 1310a 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 shut off, or when a power failure or momentary power failure occurs, if the voltage drops below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit as a power failure warning. The determination in step S24 is made based on this power failure warning signal. When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S24 that the power failure warning signal has been input, it returns to step S24 and repeats the determination in step S24 as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input. A detailed description of the fact that the determination in step S24 is performed following the wait time standby process in step S22 will be given later.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S24 that the power failure warning signal has not been input, it determines whether the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1. (step S25). The main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, so that the predetermined set value change permission conditions are satisfied. judge.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S25 that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is not 1, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to 1. Also, it is determined whether or not the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 0 (step S26). The main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 0, so that the predetermined set value change permission condition is not met. , it is determined to erase various information in the same manner as when a predetermined set value change permission condition is satisfied.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S26 that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is not 0, it calculates a checksum (step S29). . This checksum is calculated by regarding the various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values and calculating the total.

Following step S29, the main control MPU 1310a compares the calculated checksum value (sum value) with the checksum value (sum value) stored in the main control side power-off processing (at power-off) described later. It is determined whether or not they match (step S30). When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S30 that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG is 1 (step S32). This backup flag BK-FLG stores game backup information such as various information, checksum value (sum value) and backup flag BK-FLG value in the main control built-in RAM in the main control side power failure processing described later. It is set to a value of 1 when the main-control-side power-off process has been completed normally, and set to a value of 0 when the main-control-side power-off process has not been completed normally. In the inspection process of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is powered on for the first time after manufacturing for inspection, the calculation of the checksum in step S29 and the determination in step S30 are performed. , will be described later.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S30 that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or in the determination of step S32, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1. When (the value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power failure processing has not ended normally, an error display processing is performed (step S33), and an infinite loop is entered. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display processing is completed is maintained, and the game cannot be progressed at all, and the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off and then turned on again. This error display process will be described later in detail, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power supply interruption processing has not completed normally at the time of power supply interruption, If it is determined, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is determined to be abnormal (or unreliable), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In this embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

The pachinko machine 1 is powered off, the body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2, and the setting key cylinder is shifted from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). After turning it clockwise by 60 degrees and turning it on, the pachinko machine 1 is powered on while operating the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633, and this routine is executed again. The main control side power-on processing is started. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch is being operated in the determination of step S14 described above, and sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A described above. In step S18 described above, it is determined that the body frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b, and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. Since it is determined that the setting key is ON and the value 1 is set to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG in the above-described step S20A, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is set to the value 1 in the determination of the above-described step S25. Also, it is determined that the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 1, and that the predetermined set value change permission condition is satisfied. In the process of S38, by clearing all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area, the RAM error can be canceled and the game can proceed (hereinafter referred to as "first RAM error “Release method”).

As a method different from the first RAM error canceling method, the pachinko machine 1 is powered off, and the setting key cylinder remains at the initial position (that is, the setting key cylinder rotation position for turning off the setting key switch 1311a). By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633, the main control side power-on processing, which is this routine, is started again. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch is being operated in the determination of step S14 described above, and sets the value 1 to the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A described above. On the other hand, in step S18 described above, it is determined that the body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b, and/or the setting key switch is turned on by the setting key ON signal. 1311a determines that the setting key is not turned ON, and sets the value 0 to the setting key ON flag CS-FLG in step S20B described above. Assuming that the value is 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 0, that is, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is not satisfied, the predetermined setting value change permission condition is satisfied. It is determined that various information should be erased, and in the processing of step S38 described later, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are cleared except for a specific area, thereby canceling the RAM error and allowing the game to proceed. (hereinafter referred to as "second RAM error canceling method").

Thus, in this embodiment, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum values (sum values) do not match in the determination of step S30, or in the determination of step S32, the main control MPU 1310a When the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1 (is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main control side power failure processing has not been completed normally, an error is displayed in step S33, and the main control built-in RAM If there is an abnormality in the contents stored in the RAM (or it is unreliable), there are two canceling methods: the first RAM error canceling method and the second RAM error canceling method. It can be done by As a result, when there is no need to change the settings of the set values, the RAM error can be cleared by performing the second RAM error clearing method using the RAM clear switch.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S32, when the backup flag BK-FLG is 1, that is, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the main control side power failure processing has been completed normally, the main control built-in A working area of the RAM is set (step S34). For this setting, the power recovery information is read from the ROM built in the main control MPU 1310a (that is, the main control built-in ROM), and this power recovery information is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. As a result, various information is read out from the game backup information, and various commands corresponding to the various information are stored in a predetermined storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Further, the main control MPU 1310a progresses the game based on the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. "Restoration of power" refers to the state in which the power is turned on after the power has been cut off, the state in which the power is restored after a power outage or momentary power outage, and fraudulent means (e.g. A state in which the main control board 1310 is irradiated with a high frequency from a hidden high frequency output device) and the main control MPU 1310a itself is reset and then restored is also included.

After step S34, the main control MPU 1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to 0 (step S36). As a result, various types of information, checksum values (sum values), etc. are changed as a result of the subsequent various processing, so that the main control side power failure processing (to be described later) is normally terminated and the backup flag BK- is set. If FLG is not set to 1, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are cleared except for a specific area, as will be described later.

Following the determination in step S36, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 1 (step S27). The main control MPU 1310a judges that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied by judging that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG is 1. judge.

In step S27, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 0 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, and the predetermined set value display permission condition is established. When it is determined that there is, a setting value confirmation display process is performed (step S28). In this set value confirmation display process, which will be described later in detail, the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM are displayed on the setting display 1310g.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S25, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 1, that is, the predetermined set value is changed. When it is determined that the permission condition is satisfied, setting change processing is performed (step S37). This setting change process, which will be detailed later, is performed based on a signal from the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633 . As described above, the RAM clear switch has three functions (the RAM clear switch, the setting switching button, and the error canceling switch). functions as a function of Every time the depressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch is operated, a signal (setting value selection switching signal) is input to change the setting value and display it on the setting display 1310g. Based on the OFF signal from the setting key switch 1311a when the setting key cylinder is turned from ON to OFF, the changed set value is determined and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM built in the main control MPU 1310a.

In the process of step S37 or the determination of step S26, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG has a value of 1 and the setting key ON flag CS-FLG has a value of 0, that is, the predetermined Although the set value change permission condition is not satisfied, when it is determined to erase various information in the same way as when the predetermined set value change permission condition is satisfied, all areas of the main control built-in RAM except for a specific area to clear (step S38). Here, the main control MPU 1310a writes the value 0 to a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM (all areas of the main control built-in RAM excluding a specific area). In this embodiment, when the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not 0 (is 1), that is, when it is determined to erase various information, and when the setting change process ends, the main control built-in RAM (a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM (an area of the entire area of the main control built-in RAM excluding the specific area)) is cleared. Here, the "specific area" includes a setting value dedicated area in which setting values are stored, an out port 1008, a first sub-out port 2021 and a second sub-out port provided in the game area 5a divided and formed on the game board 5. 2022 and an out-ball counting dedicated area in which the counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by 2022 is stored. The set value dedicated area stores set values to be changed in the setting change process described later, and the out ball count dedicated area stores the out hole 1008, the first sub-out hole 2021 and the first sub-out hole 2021 that are counted in the ball number counting process described later. A counting result (total number) of the number of game balls collected by the second sub-out port 2022 is stored.

The main control MPU 1310a may read out a predetermined value from the main control built-in ROM as an initial value and set it. In addition, the main control MPU 1310a, when erasing various information, the logic of the signal (RAM clear signal) that tells that the pressing operation part of the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633 has been operated instructs the RAM clear. If the values do not match, or if the main control side power failure processing has not been completed normally, the unique ID code pre-stored in the non-volatile RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is taken out, and this taken out ID code An initial value derivation process for always deriving the same fixed value from the fixed numerical range of the counter that updates the random number for determination per normal symbol is performed, and this fixed value is the initial value of the random number for determination per normal symbol described above. It is set to the initial value determination random number for normal design hit determination for use in determination.

Following step S38, the main control MPU 1310a sets the working area of the main control built-in RAM as initial setting (step S40). This setting is carried out 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 number information output determination counter is set (set) to 0, which is the initial value. Further, the main control MPU 1310a progresses the game based on the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following steps S36, S28 or step S40, the main control MPU 1310a performs initial value setting and activation setting of the main control built-in WDT (step S41). Here, a watchdog timer control register (hereinafter referred to as " A timer setting value is set in the WDT control register") to activate the main control built-in WDT and start counting time until the main control MPU 1310a is reset. When the main control built-in WDT is activated, the main control built-in WDT starts clocking, and the watch dog timer clear register built in the main control MPU 1310a ( hereinafter referred to as "WDT clear register"), the main control built-in WDT will forcibly reset the main control MPU 1310a. On the other hand, when the main control built-in WDT is activated and starts timing, if the timer clear set value is set in the WDT clear register before the clocked time reaches the time set by the timer set value, The clocking by the main control built-in WDT is cleared and clocking is restarted. In this way, the operation (system) of the main control MPU 1310a can be operated normally by repeating the process of clearing the clocking by the main control built-in WDT until the time set by the timer set value is reached and restarting the clocking. It is possible to monitor whether or not

Following step S41, the main control MPU 1310a performs interrupt initialization (step S42). This setting is to set the interrupt cycle when the main control side timer interrupt processing to be described later is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 4 milliseconds (ms).

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

After step S44, the main control MPU 1310a initializes the test signal output port (step S46). Here, a test signal output port (not shown) for outputting various test information is initialized (set to OFF data output) when the power is turned on in the game machine testing facility.

Following step S46, the main control MPU 1310a performs activation setting of the main control built-in hard random number circuit (step S48). Here, among various random numbers related to the game, a special random number for use in determining whether or not to generate a jackpot game state is updated by hardware. Along with making settings such as latching and acquiring, settings such as activation of the hard random number circuit incorporated in the main control are 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 rapidly extracted one after another without duplication based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. When all values within the numerical range have been extracted, one value within the predetermined numerical range is again extracted, and the predetermined numerical range is rapidly extracted based on the clock signal input to the main control MPU 1310a. successively extract the other values in the , without duplication. When the main control MPU 1310a acquires a random number (random value) from the main control built-in hardware random number circuit, it outputs a latch signal to the main control built-in hardware random number circuit. A random number (random value) extracted by the random number circuit is obtained from a hard random number latch register built in the main control MPU 1310a. The main control MPU 1310a sets the obtained random number as a special random number.

Following step S48, the main control MPU 1310a performs reservation setting of commands to be transmitted when the power is turned on (step S50). Here, based on the power recovery time 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 to notify that the power has been turned on (power has been restored). Create a power-on state command, a main control return destination command when power is turned on, and a counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls information output when power is turned on, and use it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. memorize to 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 is read from the game backup information and various commands corresponding to this various information are stored. be. In such a case, first, after completing the transmission of various commands corresponding to the game information among the various information, then the state command at power-on, the main control return destination command at power-on, and the main prize number information at power-on. An output determination counter notification command is transmitted. These commands are transmitted in main control side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later. A detailed description of the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on in step S50 will be given later.

Following step S50, the main control MPU 1310a performs interrupt permission setting (step S52). By this setting, the main control-side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is repeatedly performed at the interrupt period set at step S42, that is, every 4 ms.

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

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S54 that there is no input of the power failure warning signal, the main control MPU 1310a performs a non-hit/fall random number update process (step S56). In this non-hit-lose random number update process, the above-described ready-to-win determination random number, variable display pattern random number, big win symbol initial value determination random number, small winning symbol initial value determination random number, etc. are updated. In this way, in the non-hit-lose random number update process, software updates the random numbers that are not related to the hit-lose determination (big hit determination). Incidentally, the above-described random numbers for normal symbol hit determination, normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random numbers, normal symbol variation display pattern random numbers, etc. are also updated by this non-hit-lose random number update process.

After step S56, the process returns to step S54, and the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input. Then, steps S54 to S56 are repeated. The processing of steps S54 to S56 is called "main control side main processing".

On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S54 that the power failure warning signal has been input, the main control MPU 1310a performs interrupt prohibition setting (step S58). With this setting, the main control side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is not performed, preventing writing to the main control built-in RAM, and protecting the above-mentioned game information and various information including other information from being rewritten.

Following step S58, the main control MPU 1310a starts outputting a power failure clear signal (step S60). Here, the same process as the process of starting to output the power failure clear signal in the power failure clear process of step S12 is performed.

Following step S60, the main control MPU 1310a outputs to, for example, the various displays of the function display unit 1400, the starter solenoid 2412, the attacker solenoid 2414, the prize winning solenoid 2612, the V distribution solenoid 3007, the special monitor, and the like. stop the driving signal (step S62).

After step S62, the main control MPU 1310a calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S64). This checksum is calculated by considering the game information in the work area of the main control built-in RAM, excluding the storage area for the checksum value (sum value) and the value of the backup flag BK-FLG, as numerical values.

After step S64, the main control MPU 1310a sets the backup flag BK-FLG to 1 (step S66). This completes the storage of the game backup information.

Following step S66, the main control MPU 1310a sets RAM access prohibition (step S68). This setting of RAM access prohibition disables access to the main control built-in RAM, thereby preventing 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 into the main control MPU 1310a for the main control built-in WDT activated in step S41, and the clocking by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and the clocking starts again. As a result, 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 process again. The processing of steps S58 to S68 and the infinite loop are referred to as "main control side power failure processing".

As described above, when the main control MPU 1310a is affected by electrical noise, it is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit. In this case, the main control MPU 1310a cannot perform the determination of step S54, and cannot perform the main control side power failure processing. Therefore, when the main control MPU 1310a is forcibly reset by the built-in reset circuit, the main control MPU 1310a is reset without executing the main control side power-off processing, and the main control side power-on processing is executed again. . In other words, the checksum value (sum value) in the main control side power failure processing based on immediately before the forced reset by the built-in reset circuit is not stored because the main control side power failure processing is not executed. The checksum value (sum value) stored when the main control side power failure processing is executed at the time of power failure, and the checksum calculated in step S28 when restarting after forced reset by the built-in reset circuit. There is no way that the value (sum value) and the value (sum value) match, and it always becomes a checksum (sum value) error in the main control built-in RAM. It will be completely erased (cleared).

The pachinko machine 1 (main control MPU 1310a) is reset when there is a power failure or momentary power failure.

In step S30, it is checked whether or not the game backup information stored in the main control internal RAM is normal. are inspecting. In this way, by double checking the game backup information stored in the main control internal RAM, it is inspected whether or not the game backup information has been stored by a fraudulent act.

Further, when it is determined in step S25 that the setting change permission flag CS-FLG is not 0 (is 1), that is, when it is permitted to change the setting value, setting change processing is performed in step S37, In the process of step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area, and in the determination of step S26, the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is not 0 (is 1). When it is determined that the various information should be erased, in the process of step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are completely erased (cleared) except for a specific area. In this way, when the pressing operation unit is operated at the time of power restoration (more precisely, when powering on the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the pressing operation unit of the RAM clear switch), the setting value is changed and determined. When changing settings that can be performed (when the main control MPU 1310a performs setting change processing), the main control MPU 1310a always clears a predetermined area of the main control built-in RAM. This is because when the pressing operation portion of the RAM clear switch is pressed, for example, when the game hall is closed, the pachinko machine 1 is in an advantageous state for the player (for example, probability variation (probability variation)). state, etc.), it is necessary to erase (clear) the game backup information described above before the start of the next business. It is necessary to turn on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while pressing the operation unit. Also, when deciding to change the setting value, if the setting change process is performed (even if the current setting value is maintained as a result, the setting value obtained before the setting change process is performed) It is necessary to erase (clear) the game backup information including various information such as game information etc. from the main control built-in RAM.As described above, the setting key can change the set value as well as the current setting Since it is an important key that can be used to check the setting values, etc., only a limited number of people, including the manager of the game hall, are allowed to possess it, and the number is limited to 2 to 3 people. is not determined to be changed, that is, even if there is no setting key possessed only by a limited specific person, a staff member such as a game hall clerk can clear the RAM when it is necessary to erase (clear) the game backup information. By turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 while depressing the depressing operation portion of the switch, the game backup information can be erased (cleared) from the main control built-in RAM.

Here, it will be described that the determination of the presence/absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24 is performed following the wait time standby process in step S22. First, regarding the problem in the case where there is no determination of the presence or absence of the power failure warning signal in step S24, that is, when the value of the RAM clear flag is determined in step S26 after the wait time standby process in step S22, and the subsequent processing proceeds. I will explain the problems in

The VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, is charged with the electrolytic capacitor MC2 when a power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off as described above. +5 V is applied for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the occurrence of a power failure or momentary power failure. In other words, even if the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off due to a momentary power failure or power failure, the charge charged in the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied as +5 V, and the island facility of the game hall The main control-side power-off process can be completed within a period of about 7 ms after the power supply is cut off from the main control side. This is because when a player is playing a game, that is, when performing a main control side main process or a main control side timer interrupt process to be described later, a power failure or momentary power failure occurs 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 cut-off processing can be reliably completed.

However, as an extremely rare phenomenon, in the wait time waiting process of step S22 when the power is restored, the waiting time (boot timer) until the system that performs drawing control of the peripheral control board 1510 starts (boots). 2.5 seconds is set.), and if an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs immediately before reaching the standby time, a hardware called an electrolytic capacitor MC2 is connected to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. is applied as +5V, the interrupt initial setting is performed in step S42 within a period of about 7 ms, and then the interrupt permission setting is performed in step S52. Even if interrupt processing is performed and the contents of the main control built-in RAM are updated, it may not be possible to complete the main-control-side power-off processing in the main-control-side power-on processing. Therefore, the main control side power-on processing is started again when the power is restored without storing the value obtained by calculating the checksum based on the contents of the main control built-in RAM.

Then, when the power is restored this time, the main control side power-on processing is started, and the wait time standby processing of step S22 is completed without occurrence of an instantaneous power failure or power failure. and the value stored in the main control built-in RAM just before the momentary power failure or power failure occurred. Instead, in step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are cleared except for a specific area. In other words, when the power is restored, the RAM clear switch is operated by a game hall clerk or other attendant, and even if the game hall clerk or other attendant does not express his/her intention to clear the RAM, the memory is forcibly stored in the main control built-in RAM. There is a problem that the game backup information described above is erased (cleared).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process for determining whether or not the power failure warning signal is input is provided as step S24, and when the power failure warning signal is input, Returning to the determination of step S24, the determination of step S24 is repeatedly performed as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input. As a result, the game cannot be progressed. Before performing the wait time waiting process of step S22, although a value is set in the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG in step S16A or step S16B, the value of the RAM clear notification flag RCL-FLG is mainly Since it is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the control MPU 1310a, even if RAM access permission is set in step S10, the contents (game information) of the main control built-in RAM are not changed at all.

In this way, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of determining whether or not the 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 of step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process of S22), the process returns to the determination of step S24 again, and as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input, By repeating the determination in step S24, the game cannot be progressed, and various information including game information and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the main prize number information output determination counter) can be prevented from being updated, so that the checksum calculation result does not fluctuate. As a result, when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is restarted, it determines that the checksum calculation result in step S28 and the checksum calculation and stored value in step S64 match. Therefore, the game information stored in the main control built-in RAM and held immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs is not initialized. Therefore, when the power is restored, it is possible to prevent the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure from being initialized.

Further, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, a process of 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, step S22 When it is determined by the determination in step S24 that the power to the pachinko machine 1 is not cut off after waiting in the wait time standby process), when the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is progressing the game, the pachinko machine 1, the supply of power from the electrolytic capacitor MC2 to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, supplies game information and other information (for example, the number of main prize balls) according to the progress of the game. Information indicating the value of the information output determination counter), which is a backup process for storing various information including the process of steps S58 to S68 and the process when the main control side power is turned off, which is composed of an infinite loop, is performed by the main control board. Since the main control MPU 1310a of 1310 can be completed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control MPU 1310a, when it restarts, receives the checksum calculation result in step S28 and the checksum calculation in the backup process. Since it is determined that the result (that is, the calculated and stored value of the checksum in step S64) matches, the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure that is stored and held in the main control built-in RAM is not initialized. That is, the main control board 1310 can be activated by restoring the game information immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs.

Furthermore, immediately after the wait time standby process in step S22, when it is determined in step S24 that a power failure warning signal has been input, the main control built-in WDT causes the main control MPU 1310a to forcibly reset the contents of the main control built-in RAM. On the other hand, immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22, when it is determined that the power failure warning signal has not been input in step S24, the power failure warning signal has not been input. As a result, the main control side power failure processing can be reliably completed within the "power supply securing period for momentary power failure or power failure" of about 7 ms by hardware. In other words, in the present embodiment, when the main control side power-on process is performed at the time of power restoration, an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs and the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off. The electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 is applied to the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the MPU 1310a, as +5 V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the power failure or momentary power failure occurs. Therefore, if the main control side power failure processing cannot be completed within the "instantaneous power failure or power supply securing period" of about 7 ms by the hardware of the electrolytic capacitor MC2, the step immediately after the wait time standby process of step S22 In S24, it is determined whether or not a power failure warning signal is input, and when the power failure warning signal is input, the process returns to the determination of step S24, and as long as the power failure warning signal continues to be input, the determination of step S24 is continued. By repeating this, the game cannot be progressed.

By preventing the progress of the game by such software, the steps after step S24 (specifically, the interrupt initialization is performed in step S42, and then the interrupt permission is enabled in step S52). By blocking the progress to the control flow of setting and starting the main control side timer interrupt processing described later), the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize number information output determination A mechanism was adopted in which updating of various information (including information indicating the value of the counter for use) can be avoided. In this way, when a power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the power supply from the island facility of the game hall is cut off, the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information and other information (for example, main prize number information output judgment (Information indicating the value of the counter for use, etc.)) is covered by software so that it is not changed at all, and the contents of the main control built-in RAM (game information, and Other information (for example, information indicating the value of the counter for determining the output of the number of main prize balls) and other information are not changed at all. , The contents of the main control built-in RAM (various information including game information and other information (for example, information indicating the value of the counter for determining the output of the number of main prize balls)) are reliably prevented from being changed. is now possible.

Next, a description will be given of the fact that a command to be transmitted at power-on is reserved in step S50. In step S50, as described above, based on the power recovery time 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, it is determined that the power has been turned on (power has been restored). In order to communicate, create a power-on state command that is classified as power-on, a main control return destination command when power is turned on, and a counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls information output when power is turned on, and incorporate the main control as transmission information. Stored in the transmission information storage area of the RAM. This main control return destination command at power-on mainly consists of information instructing the drive state of the starter solenoid 2412 and information instructing the drive state of the attacker solenoid 2414 . Here, first, the problem in the case where the main control return destination command at power-on does not include information indicating the driving state of the starting solenoid 2412 and information indicating the driving state of the attacker solenoid 2414, that is, Next, a problem in the case where the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted when the power is turned on is not performed for the main control return destination command at the time of power-on in step S50 will be described.

For example, when the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the big win game state screen (for example, the big win game effect screen) in the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310 drives the attacker solenoid 2414. When a momentary power failure or power failure occurs while the big prize opening 2005 is opened by the opening and closing member, and then the power is restored, the main control board 1310 performs the main control in setting the work area of the main control built-in RAM in step S34. Based on the power recovery information set in the work area of the built-in RAM, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs is restored, and the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven to open and close the big winning port 2005. The state of being closed by the member is transferred to the state of being open.

However, when an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers when power is restored. Then, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 can return based on the probability and 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 the main control board 1310 generates a jackpot game state as a game state, an instantaneous power failure or a power failure occurs, and then the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 will be the main control board 1310 at the time of power restoration. Based on the probability and the time saving state indicated by the power-on state command received from, even if the screen can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 according to the probability and the time saving state and returned, the jackpot game state It is not possible to indicate at all which round of In other words, for example, when a game ball enters the big winning hole 2005 and is detected by the big winning hole sensor 2402, the main control board issues a large winning hole 1 count display command that conveys the number of game balls that have entered the big winning hole 2005. Even if 1310 transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 and the peripheral control board 1510 receives it, the peripheral control board 1510 produces the number of game balls entering the big winning hole 2005 on the screen according to the probability and the time saving state. Even if it can be displayed in the display area of the display device 1600, it is not possible to display at all which round (that is, what round) of the jackpot game state.

In such a situation, the main control board 1310 stops driving the attacker solenoid 2414 and the large winning opening 2005 is opened by the opening/closing member when, for example, the four rounds (fourth round) of the jackpot game state are finished. Peripheral control from the main control board 1310 of the large prize winning port 1 closing display command instructing the transition from the state to the closed state (that is, the start of closing between the rounds of the large winning port 2005 of the first attacker unit 2400) When the information is sent to the board 1510 and the main control board 1310 starts the 5th round (fifth round) of the jackpot game state, the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven and the big winning opening 2005 is closed by the opening/closing member. The main control board 1310 transmits to the peripheral control board 1510 a 5th time display command for opening the big winning hole 2005, which instructs the transition to the state of being opened from (that is, the start of opening the 5th round of the big winning hole 2005). . As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 finally switches from the screen according to the probability and time-saving state described above to display the screen of the start of the 5th round of the jackpot game state in the display area of the effect display device 1600 .

Also, for example, a screen (for example, the second start door 2411 is open When the peripheral control board 1510 controls the display of the effect display device 1600 on the display area of the effect display device 1600, the main control board 1310 drives the starting solenoid 2412 to open the second starting door 2411. A momentary power failure or power failure occurs when the game ball B can be guided to the second start port 2004 by opening operation, and then when the power is restored, the main control board 1310 performs the main control of step S34. 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 built-in RAM, by restoring the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure occurred, the starting opening solenoid 2412 Driving is started to close the second starting port door 2411, thereby shifting to a state in which the second starting port 2004 is closed.

However, when an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs, the peripheral control board 1510 receives various commands from the main control board 1310 and recovers when power is restored. , and then 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 the game state in which the game ball can be received into the second start port 2004 as the game state, and the game state is generated in an advantageous game state for the player, an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs. After that, when the power is restored, the peripheral control board 1510 is 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. Even if it is possible to display and return to the display area of the effect display device 1600, it is in a game state in which the game ball can be received into the second start port 2004, and it is in a game state advantageous to the player. The peripheral control board 1510 cannot display the transmitted screen in the display area of the effect display device 1600 at all. Therefore, a player sitting in front of the pachinko machine is surprised at the momentary power failure or power failure, and when the power is restored, the game ball is accepted into the second start port 2004 just before the momentary power failure or power failure occurs. In some cases, it is possible to forget that the game state is enabled, 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 start port 2004 as the game state at the time of power restoration. Nevertheless, the screen for instructing the game (that is, the screen for instructing the game to enter the game ball into the second start port 2004) is not displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 when the power is restored. There is also a problem that the player does not know what kind of game to play.

As described above, in the two examples described above, there is a problem that the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure cannot be quickly restored after the power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of the pachinko machine, when an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs, and then the power is restored, the system of the pachinko machine appears to be in a stuck state, a so-called frozen state, and misunderstands that it has failed. There was a problem.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the main control board 1310 powers on (including when the power is turned on, and when power is restored after a power failure or momentary power failure), the power-on state command and the main control return destination command at power-on to the peripheral control board 1510, in step S50, the power-on state command classified as power-on, the main control return destination command at power-on, and the command at power-on A counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls information output is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. These commands are transmitted in main control-side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later.

As a result, the peripheral control board 1510 receives from the main control board 1310 based on the power-on state command and the power-on main control return destination command, for example, in the above-described example, in the 4 rounds of the jackpot game state, When power is restored after a momentary power failure or power failure, the main control board 1310 is restored, and the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven to open the large winning opening 2005 from the closed state by the opening/closing member. Since it is possible to tell the peripheral control board 1510 to shift to the state, the peripheral control board 1510 is a screen specifying that it is 4 rounds of the jackpot gaming state (that is, a screen showing how many rounds) can not be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600, but it is in a jackpot game state, the attacker solenoid 2414 is started to be driven, and the big winning port 2005 is opened by the opening and closing member. (For example, a screen that conveys a message to the player, ``This is a big win. The big winning slot is open. It is possible to instruct a player sitting in front of the pachinko machine by displaying it in the display area to enter a game ball into the big winning hole 2005 after the power is restored. In a state in which a game ball can be accepted into the second start port 2004 and in a state in which the game state is advantageous to the player, an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs, and then power is restored, the main control board 1310 As a return destination, a screen (for example, "The second starting door 2411 is open. Please play the game so that the game ball enters the second starting opening." It is possible to instruct a player seated in front of the pachinko machine to enter a game ball into the second starting port 2004 after power is restored by displaying in the display area 1600 .

As a result, when power is restored after an instantaneous power failure or power failure, the main control board 1310 side can give detailed instructions on the return destination of the peripheral control board 1510 . Therefore, the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure can be quickly restored after power is restored. In other words, a player sitting in front of the pachinko machine, when an instantaneous power failure or power failure occurs and then the power is restored, the system of the pachinko machine appears to be in a stuck state, a so-called frozen state, and misunderstands that it has failed. can be prevented.

Next, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, the checksum of step S28 when the main control board 1310 is powered on for the first time after manufacturing for inspection. The calculation and the determination in step S30 will be described. In the main control board inspection process, when the power supply of the main control board 1310 is turned on for the first time after manufacturing for inspection, the main control board configured by the above-described backup processing of 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-off processing, 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 in step S38, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are cleared except for a specific area.

As a result, when the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at the time of power-on is performed in step S50, the state command at power-on classified as power-on, the main control return destination command at power-on, and the main prize number information at power-on By creating an output determination counter notification command and storing it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, the power-on state command, the main control return destination command when power is turned on, and the main prize ball when power is turned on. Only three commands, namely, the number information output determination counter notification command, are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Then, in the main control side timer interrupt processing to be described later, these commands first transmit a power-on state command, then transmit a main control return destination command when power is turned on, and then transmit the number of main prize balls when power is turned on. An information output determination counter notification command is transmitted. Utilizing this, in the main control board inspection process, when the main control board 1310 is powered on for the first time after manufacturing for inspection, the main control board 1310 issues a power-on status command as the first command. It will be sent to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process.

By the way, the power-on state command is used when the power is turned on (including when the power is turned on, and when power is restored after a power failure or momentary power failure) when the RAM clear switch is operated and the RAM is cleared. When the power is turned on (including when the power is turned on, and when the power is restored after a power failure or momentary power failure), the above-mentioned low Information indicating which state (probability and time-saving state) to return from among probability time-saving state, high probability time-saving state, low probability non-time-saving state, and high probability non-time-saving state, and the model code of the pachinko machine It consists of information and Here, a problem in the case where the information indicating the model code of the pachinko machine is not included in the power-on state command will be described.

The model code of the pachinko machine is the copyright of which work when creating the so-called max type, middle type, and sweet digital type as the pachinko machine 1 (more precisely, the main control board 1310). What kind of game specification (for example, when a probability change occurs, in addition to the game specification that the state continues 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 it is a game specification (such as a so-called ST machine) in which probability fluctuations occur in the state of being played.

In the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, when manufacturing the main control boards 1310, there are cases where the main control boards 1310 for copyrights of a plurality of types of works are mixed. Then, the worker of the production line is the owner of the copyright of which work out of the copyrights of multiple kinds of works (for example, the copyright of works such as movie A, movie B, drama C, movie D, manga E, and manga F). It becomes unclear whether the main control board 1310 is flowing to the production line to manufacture the control board 1310, or the main control board for one copyright (for example, the copyright for the work called movie D) among the copyrights of multiple types of works. Although the main control board 1310 is being sent to the production line to manufacture 1310, the main control board 1310 is required to manufacture the main control board 1310 for other copyrights (for example, the copyright of the work Manga F). There is also an assumption and misunderstanding that it flows to the production line.

For this reason, when manufacturing the main control board 1310 on the production 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 production line may It is not possible to confirm which work the manufactured main control board 1310 is copyrighted, and even if the same work is copyrighted, which model type (max type, middle type, sweet digital type) type), and what kind of game specification (game specification or ST machine that when a probability change occurs, that state is continued until the next big win game state occurs).

As a result, when manufacturing the main control board 1310 in the production 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 coexists, the main control board for the copyrights of a plurality of types of works is produced. The main control board 1310 is sent to the game board assembly line for attaching the main control board 1310 to the game board 5 with the 1310 mixed. For this reason, the operator of the game board assembly line sometimes attaches to the game board 5 the main control board 1310 that does not correspond to the game board 5 with respect to the copyright of the work. As a result, there is a problem that the production efficiency of the game board 5 is lowered.

Therefore, in this embodiment, when the main control board 1310 turns on the power (including when the power is restored due to a power failure or momentary power failure, in addition to when the power is turned on), the model code of the pachinko machine In step S50, in order to transmit a power-on state command including information indicating to the peripheral control board 1510, a power-on state command classified as power-on, a power-on main control return destination command, and a power-on A counter notification command for main prize number information output determination is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. These commands are transmitted in main control-side timer interrupt processing, which will be described later.

As a result, an operator on the production line of the maker 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 can operate 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 the above-mentioned max type, middle type, and sweet digital type, the series code for specifying which type it is, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specifications (for example, when the probability fluctuation occurs, the next big hit game state In addition to the game specification that the state is continued until it occurs, a game specification code for specifying the game specification (such as ST machine) that the probability fluctuation occurs in a state where the number of times of fluctuation of the special symbol is limited; Based on this, by visually checking the detailed model information displayed on the inspection monitor, it is possible to determine which work the main control board 1310 belongs to. The model type (max type, middle type, and sweet digital type), and what kind of game specifications (if the probability change occurs, the state will continue until the next big win game state occurs) It is also possible to discriminate whether it is a game specification or ST machine).

As a result, when manufacturing the main control board 1310 in the manufacturing line of the manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine 1, even if the main control board 1310 for copyright of a plurality of types of works is mixed, the main control board inspection process of the manufacturing line The operator can visually check the inspection monitor to accurately determine the model type of the main control board 1310, the copyright of the work, and the game specifications, so that the main control board 1310 for the copyright of the work can be sorted into the following. It can be sent to the game board assembly line. The operator of the game board assembly line can surely attach the main control board 1310 corresponding to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work to the game board 5, and the main control board 1310 not corresponding to the game board 5 for the copyright of the work. It is possible to prevent the production efficiency of the game board 5 from being lowered by the work of attaching the 1310 to the game board 5 . Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the production efficiency of the game board 5 .

[21-4. Main control side timer interrupt processing]
Next, main control side timer interrupt processing will be described. This main-control-side timer interrupt processing is repeatedly performed every interrupt period (4 ms in this embodiment) set in the main-control-side power-on processing shown in FIGS. 210 and 211 .

When the main control side timer interrupt processing is started, the main control MPU 1310a switches the register bank as shown in FIG. 212 (step S100). The general-purpose storage elements (general-purpose registers) of the main control MPU 1310a have two register banks consisting of a first register bank and a second register bank. The first register bank is used in the main control main process in the main control side power-on process described above, while the second register bank is used in the main control side timer interrupt process, which is this routine. In step S100, since the second register bank is used in the main control side timer interrupt processing of this routine, the first register bank used in the main control main processing in the main control side power-on processing to the second switch the register bank to the other register tank. In this embodiment, when the main control side timer interrupt processing of this routine is started, the processing of saving each register to the stack is not required.

Following step S100, the main control MPU 1310a performs timer subtraction processing (step S102). In this timer subtraction process, for example, the time during which the first special symbol display device and the second special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 light up according to the variable display pattern determined by the special symbol and special electric accessory control process described later, In addition to the time when the normal symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 is lit according to the normal symbol fluctuation display pattern determined by the normal symbol and normal electric accessory control processing described later, the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) transmitted Time management such as ACK signal input judgment time set as a judgment condition when judging whether or not the payer ACK signal that informs that the payout control board 633 has normally received various commands is input or not. . Specifically, when the variation time of the variation display pattern or the normal symbol variation display pattern is 5 seconds, the timer interrupt cycle is set to 4 ms, so each time this timer subtraction process is performed, the variation time is subtracted by 4 ms. When the subtraction result becomes 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 0, thereby accurately measuring the ACK signal input determination time. These various times and the ACK signal input determination time are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S102, the main control MPU 1310a performs switch input processing (step S104). In this switch input process, various signals input to input terminals of 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 detects, for example, the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801, the detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 3002, and the detection from the second starting opening sensor 2401. signal, detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2402, detection signal from the out sensor 664, detection signal from the first ball sensor 703 and second ball sensor 704, detection signal from the magnetic sensor 1050, detection signal from the RAM clear switch Operation signal (RAM clear signal), detection signal from the door frame open switch, detection signal from the main body frame open switch 4b, signal from the setting key switch 1311a, signal from the setting switching button, sent by the prize ball control process described later. A payout control board 633 that informs that the payout control board 633 has normally received the winning ball command is read and stored as input information in the input information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. Also, when the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 3002 and the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2401 are read, the corresponding starting opening winning command classified into others is stored in the main control built-in RAM as transmission information. Store in the transmission information storage area. That is, when there is a detection signal from the first start sensor 3002, a start win prize command corresponding to this is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and from the second start sensor 2401 When there is a detection signal, a start-up winning command corresponding to this is stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM.

Note that in this embodiment, when the switch input process is started, the state in which all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are input (including those subjected to vacant terminal processing). , are read for the first time, and after a predetermined time (for example, 10 μs) has elapsed, they are read again for the second time. Then, the result of the second reading is compared with the result of the first reading. A determination is made as to whether or not there are any of the comparison results that are the same. If the result is not the same, it is read again for the third time, and the result of the third reading is compared with the result of the second reading. It is determined again whether or not there are any of the comparison results that are the same. If the results are not the same, they are read again for the fourth time, and the result of the fourth reading is compared with the result of the third reading. It is determined again whether or not there are any of the comparison results that are the same. If the result is the same, it is treated as if there is no entry of the game ball or as if the input is ignored.

In this way, in the switch input processing, the states in which all the input terminals of the various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a are input (including those subjected to vacant terminal processing) are checked for the first to third times. It is possible to avoid erroneous detection due to the effects of chattering, noise, etc. Since it is possible, the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801, the detection signal from the general winning opening sensor 3001, the detection signal from the first starting opening sensor 3002, the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2401, and the big prize Detection signal from mouth sensor 2402, detection signal from out sensor 664, first ball sensor 703, and second ball sensor 704, detection signal from magnetic sensor 1050, operation signal from RAM clear switch (RAM clear signal), A detection signal from the door frame opening switch, a detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b, a signal from the setting key switch 1311a, a signal from the setting switching button, and a prize ball command transmitted in the prize ball control process described later are displayed on the payout control board. It is possible to increase the reliability of the payer ACK signal from the payout control board 633 that informs that the payout control board 633 has received it normally.

Following step S104, the main control MPU 1310a performs input terminal malfunction monitoring processing (step S105). In this input terminal failure monitoring process, the status of input terminals of various input ports of the main control MPU 1310a that have undergone empty terminal processing is checked based on the information obtained in the switch input process of step S104. Specifically, for example, the input terminal PA7 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a is grounded to the ground (GND) as an idle terminal processing, so the logic state is always LOW. Therefore, in the input terminal failure monitoring process, the information obtained in the switch input process in step S104 determines whether or not the logic state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal process is performed is LOW among the input terminals of the various input ports. based on When the main control MPU 1310a determines that the logic state of the input terminal to which the empty terminal processing is applied is not LOW, the main control MPU 1310a classifies the information display to inform that the peripheral circuit of the main control MPU 1310a has a problem. The defective 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 MPU 1310a performs win/lose random number update processing (step S106). In this winning/losing random number update process, the above-described symbol random number is updated. Also, in addition to these random numbers, the random number for determining the initial value for the jackpot symbol, which is updated in the non-win-lose random number update process of step S56 in the main control side power-on process (main control side main process) shown in FIG. And the random number for determining the initial value for the small winning symbol is also updated. These big hit symbol initial value determination random numbers and small winning symbol initial value determination random numbers are updated in the main control side main processing and this main control side timer interrupt processing, respectively, thereby enhancing the randomness. . On the other hand, since the symbol random number is a random number related to win/lose determination (win/lose determination), each counter counts up only each time this win/lose random number update process is performed. Incidentally, the above-described normal symbol hit determination random number and normal symbol hit determination initial value determination random number are also updated by this win/lose random number update process.

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

In this 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 winning symbol are set to the non The win/lose random number update process and the win/lose random number update process of step S106 in the main control side timer interrupt process, which is this routine, are updated respectively, but each time an interrupt timer occurs, the processing time of this routine becomes uneven. If the number of executions of the non-hit-lose random number update process in step S56 is 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 small-hit symbol initial value determination random number may be updated only in the non-hit-lose random number update process of step S56.

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 memory is updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. there is In the prize ball control process of step S108, the value of the main prize ball number information output determination counter stored in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the read main prize ball number information output determination counter is read. is read from the input information storage area, and based on this input information, the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as prize balls is added to the value of 10. (that is, when the number of game balls scheduled to be paid out as prize balls reaches 10), a main prize number information output command is created to notify that effect, and as transmission information In addition to storing in the output information storage area, the value indicating the exceeded number of balls is stored and updated in the prize ball schedule information storage area of the main control built-in RAM as the value of the main prize number information output judgment counter value. It has become.

Following step S108, the main control MPU 1310a performs frame command reception processing (step S110). The payout control board 633 transmits various 1-byte (8-bit) commands (eg, frame state 1 command, error cancellation navigation command, and frame state 2 command) classified into state displays. In the frame command reception process, when various commands are normally received as payer serial data, information to notify the payout control board 633 is stored as output information in the output information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. In addition, the main control MPU 1310a 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 cancellation navigation command, and frame state 2 command)) are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above.

Following step S110, the main control MPU 1310a performs fraud detection processing (step S112). In this fraudulent act detection process, an abnormal state regarding prize balls is checked. When it is determined that a fraudulent act by radio wave irradiation (hereinafter referred to as "radio wave irradiation") is being performed, the value of the radio wave irradiation counter is incremented by one. The value of this radio wave counter is incremented each time radio wave irradiation is determined in the fraudulent act detection process, and when the RAM is cleared, the value 0 (zero) is set as an initial value. It has become so. When the value of the radio wave irradiation goto counter reaches the upper limit value (in this embodiment, the value 250 is set as the upper limit value based on 4 ms, which is the interrupt cycle at which the main control side timer interrupt processing is performed in the fraud detection processing. ), a radio wave irradiation notification command classified into a notification display indicating that radio wave irradiation is being performed is created, and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above.

It's becoming

Further, in the fraudulent act detection process of step S112, for example, input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and when the detection signal from the big winning hole sensor 2402 is input when it is not in the jackpot game state (big winning hole 2005), etc.), a winning abnormality display command classified as a notification display as an abnormal state is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above. Or, the value of the safe ball counter stored in the safe ball counting dedicated area is the general winning opening sensor 3001, the first starting opening sensor 3002, the second starting opening sensor 2401, the big winning opening sensor 2402, and the prize winning opening. The total number of game balls detected by the sensor 2601, that is, the game actually accepted by the winning openings such as the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, etc. If it is different from the total number of balls, a prize winning abnormality display command classified as a notification display as an abnormal state is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above.

In the fraud detection process in step S112, when the radio wave irradiation goto and/or the magnet goto are detected, the value 1 is set to the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as detection of fraud, while the radio wave emission goto and the magnet When no fraud is detected, the value 0 is set to the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as no fraud is detected. This fraud detection flag FD-FLG is included in the game backup information, and is set to 0 (zero) as an initial value when the RAM is cleared. Also, when detecting the occurrence of an abnormal winning of a large winning opening, the value 1 may be set to the fraud detection flag FD-FLG as detection of fraud.

Following step S112, the main control MPU 1310a performs firing enable signal setting processing (step S113). In this shooting permission signal setting process, the logic of the shooting permission signal that tells the shooting control section 633b of the payout control board 633 that the shooting of the game ball B is allowed is set. Specifically, the main control MPU 1310a, based on the value of the above-described fraud detection flag FD-FLG, determines that fraud has not been detected when the fraud detection flag FD-FLG is 0. Sometimes, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to the firing permission logic and stored as output information in the output information storage area described above. is detected, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) obtained by inverting the firing permission logic, and is stored as output information in the output information storage area described above. The main control MPU 1310a reads the input information from the above-described input information storage area, and based on this input information, the detection signal from the door frame opening switch is input, and the door frame 3 is opened with respect to the main body frame 4. When the door frame open switch detects that the door frame open switch 4b detects that the body frame open switch 4b is open with respect to the outer frame 2, a detection signal is input from the body frame open switch 4b. is set to a firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) obtained by inverting the firing permission logic as the logic of the firing permission signal, and is stored as output information in the output information storage area described above. As an initial value (default), the logic of the firing permission signal is set after the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on (after the power is restored). It is configured by hardware including a main control output circuit with a reset function so that the firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) that is the inversion of the firing permission logic is set until the start of the firing.

Following step S113, the main control MPU 1310a performs special symbol and special electric accessary product control processing (step S114). In this special symbol and special electric accessory control processing, a latch signal is output to the main control built-in hard random number circuit, and the random number (random value) extracted by the main control built-in hard random number circuit when the latch signal is input is A hard random number latch register built in the control MPU 1310a is obtained, and the obtained random number is set as a special random number. Then, it is determined whether or not the special random number (that is, the random value obtained from the hard random number latch register built into the main control MPU 1310a) and the big hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM match (big hit It is determined whether or not to generate a game state (referred to as "special lottery")), and the value of the counter for updating the symbol random number is taken out and stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM according to the big hit type and the small hit type. It is determined (determines the hit type) whether it matches with any of the hit type determination values.

When these determination results (lottery results) are due to the first start opening sensor 3002, while creating various commands related to the special figure 1 tuning effect, the determination results (lottery results) are the second start opening sensor 2401 If it is due to, various commands related to special figure 2 tuning effect are created, and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, and the variable display pattern of the special symbol is determined based on the above-described random number for the variable display pattern. Then, the first special symbol indicator or the second special symbol of the function display unit 1400 to light up the first special symbol indicator or the second special symbol indicator of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined special symbol fluctuation display pattern The output of the lighting signal to the display is set and stored as the output information in the output information storage area described above. In addition, depending on the game state to be generated, for example, when it becomes a big win game state, various commands classified as related to big wins (big win opening command, big winning mouth 1 open Nth time display command, big winning mouth 1 closing display command, big win game state, etc.) Winning mouth 1 count display command, jackpot ending command, and jackpot pattern display command) is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area, or for example, a drive signal to the attacker solenoid 2414 to open and close the opening and closing member. The output is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area. The output of the lighting signal to the 2nd round indicator lamp is set so as to light the round indicator lamp, and is stored as output information in the output information storage area. A function display unit 1400 for setting the output of a lighting signal to the 15-round display lamp so as to light the 15-round display lamp, storing it in the output information storage area as output information, and lighting the presence or absence of time saving in a predetermined color. The output of the lighting signal to the status indicator is set and stored as output information in the output information storage area.

Following step S114, the main control MPU 1310a performs normal symbol and normal electric accessary product control processing (step S116). In this normal symbol and normal electric accessary product control process, the input information is read from the above-described input information storage area, and the normal winning opening winning process is performed based on this input information. In this normal winning opening winning process, it is determined from the input information whether or not the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801 has been input to the input terminal of the input port. Based on this judgment result, when the detection signal is input to the input terminal of the input port, the value of the counter for updating the above-mentioned normal symbol per judgment random number is extracted and incorporated into the main control as normal winning opening winning prize information. It is stored in the normal winning opening winning information storage area of the RAM.

0th section to 3rd section (four sections) are provided in this normal winning opening winning information storage area, and the normal winning opening is provided in order of 0th section, 1st section, 2nd section, and 3rd section. Winning information is stored. For example, when the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the 0th to 2nd sections of the normal winning opening winning information storage, when the detection signal from the gate sensor 2801 is input to the input terminal of the input port, the normal winning opening Winning information is stored in the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage.

The normal winning opening winning information stored in the 0th section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM. When the normal winning opening winning information is set, the normal winning opening winning information in the first section of the normal winning opening winning information storage is stored in the 0th section of the normal winning opening winning information storage and the second section of the normal winning opening winning information storage. The normal winning entry winning information of the section is stored in the first section of the normal winning entry winning information storage, and the normal winning entry winning information of the third section of the normal winning entry winning information storage is stored in the second section of the normal winning entry winning information storage. After shifting, the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage becomes an empty area. For example, when the normal winning entry winning information is stored in the first and second sections of the normal winning entry winning information storage, the normal winning entry winning information in the first section of the normal winning entry winning information storage is the normal winning. The normal winning prize winning information in the second region of the normal winning prize information storage is shifted to the 0th section of the normal winning prize information storage, and the normal winning prize winning prize information in the second section of the normal winning prize winning prize information storage is shifted to the first section of the normal winning prize winning prize information storage. The 2nd section and the 3rd section of the normal winning opening prize information storage become empty areas. Here, if the normal winning opening winning information is stored in the first section to the third section of the normal winning opening winning information storage, the total number of the stored normal winning opening winning information is regarded as a reserved ball, and the normal winning opening of the function display unit 1400 In order to light up the suspension indicator, the output of the lighting signal for the normal suspension indicator of the function display unit 1400 is set based on the above-described normal winning opening winning information, and is stored as the output information in the above-described output information storage area.

Following the normal winning opening winning process, the normal winning opening winning information set in the work area of the main control built-in RAM is read, and the value of the random number for normal symbol per determination is taken out from the read normal winning opening winning information and the main control is performed. It is determined whether or not the value coincides with the normal symbol hit determination value pre-stored in the built-in ROM (referred to as "normal lottery"). Whether or not to open and close the second starting door 2411 is determined based on this determination result (lottery result by ordinary lottery). When the opening and closing operation is performed by this determination, the second start opening door 2411 becomes a state in which the opening operation is performed, so that the game ball can be received into the second start opening 2004. A game advantageous to the player. become a state. The normal symbol variation display pattern corresponding to this determination is determined based on the above-described random number for the normal symbol variation display pattern, various commands classified into the normal symbol synchronization effect are created, and the above-described transmission information storage is performed as transmission information. In addition to storing in the area, the output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is set so that the normal symbol display of the function display unit 1400 is lit according to the determined normal symbol variation display pattern, and the output information is stored in the output information storage area described above.

Further, for example, when the value of the extracted random number for judging normal symbol hit matches the normal hit judgment value stored in advance in the main control built-in ROM, various commands related to normal electric role performance are created and transmitted. While storing as information in the transmission information storage area, setting the output of the drive signal to the starting opening solenoid 2412 so as to open and close the second starting opening door 2411, and storing as output information in the above-mentioned output information storage area, When the value of the taken-out random number for normal symbol hit determination does not coincide with the normal symbol hit determination value pre-stored in the main control built-in ROM, the normal symbol variation display is performed based on the above-described normal symbol variation display pattern random number. A pattern is determined, various commands classified into the normal pattern synchronization production relation are created, stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area described above, and the normal pattern of the function display unit 1400 according to the determined normal pattern fluctuation display pattern. The output of the lighting signal to the normal symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 is set so as to light the display device, and is stored as the output information in the output information storage area described above. In this example, the probability of winning the normal lottery (probability of winning a normal prize) is 1/2.

Following step S116, the main control MPU 1310a 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. This main control MPU 1310a, for example, from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a based on the output information, when the various commands from the payout control board 633 has been normally received, the payout control board 633 Or output a drive signal to the attacker solenoid 2414 that performs the opening and closing operation of the opening and closing member of the big winning opening 2005 when it is in the jackpot game state, and the second start opening door 2411 for opening and closing the second start opening 2004 In addition to outputting a drive signal to the starting opening solenoid 2412 that performs the opening and closing operation, 15 rounds big hit information output signal, 2 rounds big hit information output signal, small hit information output signal, special symbol display information output signal, normal symbol display Various information (game information) signals related to the game such as information output signal, time saving information output signal, starting entrance winning information output signal etc. are output to the payout control board 633, firing permission logic or firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) output to the payout control board 633, or output a display signal to a special monitor that displays the ratio of the number of payouts (total number of paid out prize balls) to the total number of game balls hit. Also, it outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM on the setting display 1310g.

The status, mode, and sum value constituting the output determination counter notification command are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order. In addition, 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 in the main control side power-on process, various information is read from the game backup information and various commands may be stored. In such a case, first, after completing the transmission of various commands corresponding to the game information among the various information, then the state command at power-on, the main control return destination command at power-on, and the main prize number information at power-on. An output determination counter notification command is transmitted.

In addition, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the prize winning opening 2006, etc., and the out opening 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022 Every time the number of game balls to be collected reaches 10, a ball collection command is sent to the peripheral control board 1510 to notify that effect. 2, the general winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the prize winning opening 2006, etc., and the out opening 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022 The number of collected game balls is counted, and ball collection information (counted values) stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) The total number of game balls collected at the winning openings such as the opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, the out opening 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022) and the updated date and time and information) is updated. It should be noted that, if the pachinko machine 1 is powered off due to the end of the business hours of the game hall without being able to receive the ball recovery command, the last counted value (that is, the general prize winning opening 2001, the first starting opening 2002, the total number of game balls collected at the winning openings such as the second starting opening 2004, the big winning opening 2005, the accessory winning opening 2006, the out opening 1008, the first sub-out opening 2021 and the second sub-out opening 2022; ) and updated date and time are stored in a built-in RAM of a real-time clock IC (not shown). When the pachinko machine 1 is turned on when the game hall starts operating, the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 stores and retains ball collection information in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). The ball collection information is generated again from the start date, and the ball collection information is stored and held in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) as ball collection history information. It should be noted that the counted value to be stored as ball collection information in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) may be a value counted from 0 (zero) on that day, or a value counted from 0 (zero) on that day. Both the counted value and the sum of the counted values so far may be used.

Following step S120, the main control MPU 1310a clears the main control built-in WDT (step S122) and terminates this routine. The clearing of the main control built-in WDT in step S122 is performed by setting the timer clear set value in the WDT clear register built into the main control MPU 1310a. As a result, the clocking by the main control built-in WDT is cleared. Then, by restarting the clocking by the main control built-in WDT, the main control MPU 1310a can be prevented from being forcibly reset by the main control built-in WDT.

In addition, as described above, the main control board 1310 has the above-described backup function for storing the game information according to the progress of the game before the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off while the game is progressing. The processing can be executed and completed, and at the time of power restoration, the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off based on the game information for which the backup processing was executed as a return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310. output to the peripheral control board 1510 when the main control is to be returned to the peripheral control board 1510 when power is turned on. It is possible to do so. In other words, the main control board 1310, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at step S50 in the power-on process on the main control side shown in FIG. In order to notify that the power has been turned on (power has been restored) 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 , a power-on state command classified as power-on, When the power is turned on, the main control return destination command and when the power is turned on, the main prize ball number information output determination counter notification command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and in step S120 of this routine. In the peripheral control board command transmission process, as main peripheral serial data, the status, mode, and sum value, which constitute the power-on status command, are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order, and then the main control return destination at power-on. The status, mode, and sum value that make up the command are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order, followed by the status, mode, and sum value that make up the counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls information output when the power is turned on. are transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 in this order.

For this reason, the peripheral control board 1510, based on the power-on main control return destination command from the main control board 1310, sets the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 when the power is restored to the display area of the effect display device 1600. can be displayed in As a result, when a momentary power failure or power failure occurs while a player is playing a game and power is restored thereafter, the game state immediately before the power failure or power failure can be quickly restored after the power is restored. In addition, the return destination of the progress of the game by the main control board 1310 can be displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and notified, so that the system of the pachinko machine 1 is in a stuck state, a so-called frozen state. It is possible to prevent a player from misunderstanding that the machine is out of order. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a player from misunderstanding a malfunction by quickly returning to the game state immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure after power is restored.

In addition, in the main control board inspection process, which is the inspection process of the manufacturing line of the main control board 1310, when the main control board 1310 is powered on for the first time after being manufactured for inspection, as described above, as shown in FIG. At step S38 in the main control side power-on processing shown, all areas of the main control built-in RAM are always cleared except for a specific area. As a result, in the reservation setting of the command to be transmitted at power-on in step S50 in the same processing shown in FIG. , main control return destination command when power is turned on, and main prize number information output determination counter notification command when power is turned on and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. A state in which only three commands are stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM: the status command, the main control return destination command when the power is turned on, and the counter notification command for determining the number of main prize balls information output when the power is turned on. Then, in the peripheral control board command transmission processing of step S120 in this routine, the status, mode, and sum value, which constitute the state command at the time of power-on, are sent as the main peripheral serial data to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in this order. Then, transmit to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in the order of status, mode, and sum value, which constitute the main control return destination command when power is turned on, and then output main prize ball number information when power is turned on. The status, mode, and sum value, which constitute the determination counter notification command, are transmitted to the inspection device in the main control board inspection process in this order. The inspection device of the main control board inspection process configures the information representing the model code of the pachinko machine based on the information representing 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 type is the above-mentioned model type from the max type, middle type, and sweet digital type, the copyright code for specifying the copyright of the work, and the game specifications (For example, when a probability change occurs, in addition to the game specification that the state continues until the next big win game state occurs, the game specification that the probability change occurs in a state where the number of times of special symbol fluctuation is limited (ST machine), etc.), and detailed model information is displayed on the inspection monitor in the main control board inspection process.

[21-5. Setting change process]
Next, setting change processing will be described. This setting change process is a process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG.

When the setting change process is started, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the current setting value as shown in FIG. 213 (step S200). Here, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. When acquiring this setting value, it may be read out or taken out. When the setting value is taken out, the taken out setting value is set in a predetermined area.

Following step S200, the main control MPU 1310a calculates a checksum (step S202). This checksum is calculated by considering various information stored in the main control built-in RAM as numerical values and calculating the total. This is the same processing as the calculation of .

Subsequent to step S202, the main control MPU 1310a stores the calculated checksum value (sum value) in the main-control-side power-off processing (at power-off) in the main-control-side power-on processing shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the checksum value (sum value) matches (step S204). When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S204 that they match, it determines whether or not the backup flag BK-FLG is 1 (step S206). The determination in step S204 and the determination in step S206 are the same as the determination in step S30 and the determination in step S32 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 210, respectively. As described above, the backup flag BK-FLG stores game backup information such as various information, the checksum value (sum value), and the value of the backup flag BK-FLG in the main control side power failure processing described later. A flag indicating whether or not data is stored in the RAM, and is set to a value of 1 when the main control side power failure processing has been completed normally, and to a value of 0 when the main control side power failure processing has not been completed normally. be done.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S204 that the checksum values (sum values) do not match, or in the determination of step S206, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1. When (the value is 0), that is, when it is determined that the main-control-side power-off processing has not ended normally, it is determined whether or not the set value acquired in step S200 is within the normal range (step S208). . Here, the "normal range" is a value that can be set and changed. It is preset to values up to a value of 6. When it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM by proceeding to the determination of step S208, or when it is determined that the main control side power-off processing has not been completed normally at the time of power-off. Therefore, the contents stored in the main control built-in RAM are abnormal (or unreliable). Therefore, in the determination of step S208, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting values stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM acquired in step S200 are within the normal range of setting values 1 to 6. It is determined whether or not it is in any of the values, and when it is determined that it is within the normal range, the set value is used as it is.

On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that it is out of the normal range in the determination of step S208, it sets the set value 1, which is the initial value, to the set value acquired in step S200 (step S210). In the determination of step S208, the setting value stored in the setting value exclusive area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM obtained in step S200 is within the normal range of setting values 1 to 6. However, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the checksum value (sum value) does not match in the determination of step S204 without performing the determination of step S208. or in the determination of step S206, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is not 1 (is 0), that is, the main control side power failure processing has not been completed normally. In some cases, the processing of step S210 may proceed and the setting value 1, which is the initial value, may be set for the setting value acquired in step S200.

In the determination of step S206, the main control MPU 1310a determines that the backup flag BK-FLG is 1, that is, when it determines that the main control side power failure processing has been completed normally, or in the determination of step S208, the main control MPU 1310a When the MPU 1310a determines that it is within the normal range, or following step S210, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1310z to light the setting change permission lamp 1310z (step S212).

Following step S212, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal for displaying the setting value on the setting display 1310g to the setting display 1310g, and displays the setting value on the setting display 1310g (step S214). .

Following step S214, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the setting switching button has been operated (step S216). This determination reads the detection signal from the setting switching button, and determines whether or not the detection signal from the setting switching button is input. The main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button is input, and determines that the setting switching button is operated when the detection signal from the setting switching button is not input. determine that it is not.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S216 that the setting switching button has been operated, the main control MPU 1310a updates the setting value by adding (incrementing) the value by 1 (step S218). At this time, when the setting value is acquired in step S200, if the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area 1 is added (incremented) to the set value set in .

Following step S218, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal to the setting indicator 1310g for displaying the setting value updated in step S216 on the setting indicator 1310g, and displays the updated setting value on the setting indicator 1310g. is displayed (step S220).

Following step S220 or in the determination of step S216, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that the setting switching button has not been operated, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the decision key has been operated (step S222). ). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a sets the setting key switch 1311a counterclockwise from the setting key cylinder rotation position where the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a and the setting key switch 1311a is turned on. When the key cylinder is rotated by 120 degrees (that is, the setting key cylinder is rotated from the rotational position where the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON to the initial position which is the original position (that is, the setting key cylinder where the setting key switch 1311a is turned OFF). Rotation position) is turned counterclockwise by 60 degrees to turn it off, and it is further turned counterclockwise by 60 degrees to turn it back to the second turning on position. 1311a determines that the decision key has been operated based on the decision key ON signal from the setting key switch 1311a, and determines that the decision key has been operated when the decision key ON signal is input from the setting key switch 1311a; When the determination key ON signal is not input from the setting key switch 1311a, it is determined that the determination key has not been operated.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S222 that the enter key has not been operated, it returns to the determination in step S216 to determine whether or not the setting switching button has been operated. When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S216 that the setting switching button has been operated, the main control MPU 1310a performs steps S218 and S220 again, determines step S222, and determines that the enter key has not been operated. When the determination is made, the process returns to the determination of step S216, and each time the setting switching button is operated, the setting value is updated by adding 1 to the setting display 1310g until the enter key is operated. , and if the setting switching button is not operated, the setting value updated by operating the setting switching button immediately before is displayed on the setting display 1310g. Even if a power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the power is restored before it is determined in step S222 that the enter key has been operated, the set value updated immediately before the power failure or momentary power failure occurs is used by the main controller. Since it is not stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the built-in RAM, it is discarded and the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is not changed.

On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S222 that the decision key has been operated, it stores the updated set value in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (step S224). At this time, when the setting value is acquired in step S200, if the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM is taken out and set in the predetermined area, this predetermined area , the updated setting value is returned to the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. Even if a power failure or momentary power failure occurs after the processing of step S224 is completed and the power is restored, the updated set values when the enter key is operated before the power failure or momentary power failure occur are stored in the main control built-in RAM. is stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of

After step S224, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not there is an OFF operation of the setting key (step S226). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a moves the setting key cylinder from the initial position (that is, setting key 1311a) from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder when the setting key is inserted into the setting key cylinder insertion port of the setting key switch 1311a and the decision key is turned on. The setting key cylinder is turned clockwise by 60 degrees so as to return to the turning position of the setting key cylinder for turning off the switch 1311a. When the OFF signal is input from the setting key switch 1311a, it is determined that the setting key has been turned OFF. Sometimes it is determined that the setting key has not been turned off.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S226 that the setting key has not been turned OFF, the main control MPU 1310a returns to the determination in step S226 and repeats the determination in step S226 until the setting key is turned OFF.

On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S226 that the setting key has been turned off, the main control MPU 1310a stops outputting the lighting signal to the setting display 1310g for displaying the updated setting value on the setting display 1310g. Then, the updated setting values are hidden from the setting display 1310g (step S228).

After step S228, the main control MPU 1310a stops the lighting signal to the setting change permission lamp 1310z to turn off the setting change permission lamp 1310z (step S230).

After step S230, the main control MPU 1310a sets the setting change permission flag CS-FLG to 0 (step S232). This setting change permission flag CS-FLG is, as described above, the current set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM (when the set key cylinder of the set key switch 1311a is first turned ON). A flag indicating whether or not to permit setting change of setting value (the value set among setting values 1 to 6 at the time of operation), and when permitting setting change of setting value. It is set to a value of 1, and to a value of 0 when it is not permitted to change the setting of the set value. In the process of step S232, the value 0 is set to the setting change permission flag CS-FLG, thereby disallowing the setting change of the setting values thereafter.

After step S232, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the set value stored in step S224 is within the normal range (step S233). "Normal range" is the same as the determination in step S208. It is preset to values up to a value of 6. In the determination of step S233, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the set value stored in the set value exclusive area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM in step S224 is normal in order to reconfirm whether the set value is abnormal. A determination is made as to whether or not it is in any of the range of set values 1 to 6, and if it is determined that it is within the normal range, that set value is used as it is.

In the judgment of step S233, when the main control MPU 1310a judges that it is within the normal range, the main control MPU 1310a performs serial communication initialization (step S234), then creates a setting change command to set transmission information (step S236), Subsequently, peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing for transmitting the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 to the peripheral control board 1510 as main peripheral serial data is performed (step S238), and this routine ends. The serial communication initial setting in step S234 is the same as the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. This is the same processing as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing of step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. Here, in the serial communication initial setting of step S234, the transmission information (setting change command) set in step S236 is mainly transmitted in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing of step S238 prior to the serial communication initial setting of step S44. It is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 as peripheral serial data, but this is prioritized before the command to be transmitted at power-on is reserved and set at step S50 in the processing at power-on on the main control side shown in FIG. This is to inform the peripheral control board 1510 that the setting value has been changed by the setting change command. The setting change command is a command for notifying the changed setting value and the completion of storing the setting value. When the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting change command, it updates the setting value history information (information that associates the setting value with the date and time) stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). do.

On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S233 that it is not within the normal range, it performs error display processing (step S240) and enters an infinite loop. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display processing is completed is maintained, and the game cannot be progressed at all, and the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off and then turned on again. This error display process will be described later in detail, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power supply interruption processing has not completed normally at the time of power supply interruption, If it is determined, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is determined to be abnormal (or unreliable), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In this embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display.

[21-6. Setting value confirmation display process]
Next, setting value confirmation display processing will be described. This setting value confirmation display process is a process performed in step S117 in the main control side timer interrupt process shown in FIG.

When the set value confirmation display process is started, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is 0 (step S350), as shown in FIG. This confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is a flag for confirming the setting value stored in the setting value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM. Each is set to the value 0 when the value is not being acknowledged.

In the determination of step S350, when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is 0, that is, when the setting value is not displayed for confirmation, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the body frame 4 has been opened and the setting key has been turned on. (step S352). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a reads the input information from the above-described input information storage area, and based on this input information, detects the opening of the main body frame 4 with respect to the outer frame 2. A setting key is inserted into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and the setting key cylinder moves clockwise from the initial position (that is, the rotation position of the setting key cylinder to turn off the setting key switch 1311a). The setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by being rotated by 60 degrees and the first ON operation is performed. is open, and it is determined that the setting key switch 1311a is turned ON by the setting key ON signal, thereby determining that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is established. On the other hand, it is determined that the body frame 4 is not opened with respect to the outer frame 2 by the detection signal from the body frame opening switch 4b, and/or the setting key switch 1311a is turned on by the setting key ON signal. It is determined that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is not established by determining that there is no display.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S352 that the predetermined setting value display permission condition is not satisfied, the main control MPU 1310a ends this routine as it is, while the predetermined setting value display permission condition is satisfied. When it is determined that the setting value is to be displayed for confirmation, the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is set to 1 (step S354), and then the current setting value is acquired (step S356). Here, the main control MPU 1310a acquires the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM.

Following step S356, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether or not the set value acquired in step S356 is within the normal range (step S357). The “normal range” is the same as the determination in step S208 and the determination in step S233 in the setting change process of FIG. A value of 3, a set value of 4, a set value of 5, and a set value of 6 are set in advance. In the determination of step S357, the main control MPU 1310a reconfirms whether or not the setting value is abnormal, so that the setting value acquired in step S356 (that is, the setting value exclusive area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM set value stored in ) is within the normal range of set values 1 to 6, and if it is determined to be within the normal range, use the set value as it is. do.

In the determination of step S357, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that it is within the normal range, the main control MPU 1310a outputs a lighting signal to the setting display 1310g to display the setting value acquired in step S356 on the setting display 1310g. The set value is displayed for 1310g (step S358).

Following step S360, the main control MPU 1310a creates a setting key ON operation command, stores it as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM, and sets the setting key ON operation command (step S360). ) to end the routine. This setting key ON operation command is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission processing of step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. The ON operation command of the setting key indicates that the set value confirmation display process, which is this routine, has started (that is, confirms the set value stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM). This is the command to send.

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting key ON operation command, the setting key ON operation history information (set value confirmed) stored in the built-in RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown) is stored. information that associates the message with the date and time) is updated.

Further, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting key ON operation command, the above-mentioned ball collection history information, set value history information, error display history information, and setting key ON operation history information are generated. A predetermined specific history information display permitting condition is satisfied that the display of the specific history information can be permitted. The CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 is configured so that a person who confirms the specific history information can perform the rotation operation of the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation of the pressing operation unit 303 in a state where the predetermined condition for permitting display of the specific history information is satisfied. , the image that has been displayed so far is switched to a specific history information display image for selectively displaying specific history information, and control is performed to display it in the display area of the effect display device 1600 .

On the other hand, in the determination of step S350, when the confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is not 0 (is 1), that is, when the setting value is being displayed for confirmation, the main control MPU 1310a determines whether the setting key has been turned OFF. It is determined whether or not (step S362). In this determination, the main control MPU 1310a reads the input information from the above-described input information storage area, and based on this input information, inserts the setting key into the insertion port of the setting key cylinder of the setting key switch 1311a, and presses the setting key switch 1311a. The setting key cylinder is rotated clockwise by 60 degrees so as to return from the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the decision key is turned on to the initial position (that is, the rotational position of the setting key cylinder at which the setting key switch 1311a is turned off). The setting key switch 1311a is turned off by turning off the setting key switch 1311a. When the setting key switch 1311a receives an off signal from the setting key switch 1311a, it is determined that the setting key has been turned off. On the other hand, when the OFF signal is not input from the setting key switch 1311a, it is determined that the setting key has not been turned off.

When the main control MPU 1310a determines in step S362 that the setting key has not been turned off, the main control MPU 1310a terminates this routine as it is. The confirmation display flag DCS-FLG is set to 0 (step S364), and then the output of the lighting signal to the setting display 1310g for displaying the set value acquired in step S356 on the setting display 1310g is stopped. Then, the acquired setting value is hidden from the setting display 1310g (step S366), and then a setting key OFF operation command is created and stored as transmission information in the transmission information storage area of the main control built-in RAM. , the OFF operation command of the setting key is set (step S368), and this routine is terminated. This setting key OFF operation command is transmitted in the peripheral control board command transmission processing of step S120 in the main control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. The OFF operation command of the setting key indicates that the set value confirmation display process, which is this routine, has ended (that is, indicates that the set values stored in the set value dedicated area in the specific area of the main control built-in RAM have been confirmed). is a command that tells

When the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the setting key OFF operation command, the above-described predetermined specific history information display permission condition is not satisfied. At this time, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 performs control to display the above-mentioned specific history information display image in the display area of the effect display device 1600, immediately before switching to the specific history information display image. Control is performed to switch to the image displayed in the display area of the effect display device 1600 and return to the original image.

On the other hand, when the main control MPU 1310a determines that it is not within the normal range in the determination of step S357, it sets interrupt non-permission (step S370). With this setting, the main control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 212, which has been repeatedly performed every 4 ms, is stopped.

Following step S370, the main control MPU 1310a performs error display processing (step S372), and then enters an infinite loop in which the main control built-in WDT continues to be cleared (step S374). Due to this infinite loop, the main control built-in WDT continues to be cleared. By setting the timer clear set value in the WDT clear register built into the control MPU 1310a, the clocking by the main control built-in WDT is cleared, and when the clocking by the main control built-in WDT is restarted, the main control by the main control built-in WDT is started. The MPU 1310a does not have to be forcibly reset. In addition, the infinite loop maintains the state in which the error display processing is completed, and the game cannot be progressed at all, so that the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off and then turned on again. This error display process will be described in detail later, but if it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM, or if the main control side power supply interruption processing has not completed normally at the time of power supply interruption, If it is determined, the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is determined to be abnormal (or unreliable), and an error message is displayed to that effect. In this embodiment, the main control MPU 1310a displays the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error indication.

[21-7. Error display processing]
Next, error display processing will be described. This error display process is the process performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 210, and the process performed in step S37 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. 214), and is the process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG.

When the error display process is started, the main control MPU 1310a stops the firing permission signal as shown in FIG. 215 (step S400). As described above, the launch permission signal informs the launch control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 that the launch of the game ball B is permitted. On the other hand, if the logic is set to the firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) that is the inverse of the launch permission logic, it is possible to tell that the launch is to be stopped (non-permission). .

The error display process of this routine is one of the processes performed in step S33 in the main-control-side power-on process shown in FIG. 210 or the process performed in step S37 in the main-control-side power-on process shown in FIG. (Specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213), the main control MPU 1310a interrupts step S52 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. Since the permission setting cannot be performed, the main control side timer interrupt processing shown in FIG. 212 cannot be performed, and the firing permission signal setting processing of step S113 in the same processing cannot be performed. Since the firing permission signal is output to the firing control section 633b of the payout control board 633 from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the main control MPU 1310a through the main control output circuit with reset function, when the power is restored, The main control output circuit is reset, and its logic is fire stop logic (fire non-permission logic) which is the inverse of the fire permission logic.

Therefore, the error display processing of this routine is the processing performed in step S33 in the main-control-side power-on processing shown in FIG. 210 or the processing performed in step S37 in the main-control-side power-on processing shown in FIG. When started as one process (specifically, the process performed in step S240 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213), the main control MPU 1310a restores the power in step S400 and then displays an error display in this routine. In order to reliably prevent the game ball B from being shot even after the process has started, the logic of the launch permission signal is set to the firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic), and its predetermined output port is set. output terminal to the discharge control unit 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with a reset function.

When the error display process, which is this routine, is started as the process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. In the determination, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the contents of the main control built-in RAM. Although the main control MPU 1310a has already performed the interrupt permission setting in step S52 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. Since the interrupt non-permission setting is performed in step S370 in the setting value confirmation display processing, when the error display processing of this routine ends, an infinite loop is entered as described above. Timer interrupt processing cannot be performed, and firing enable signal setting processing in step S113 in the same processing cannot be performed.

Therefore, when the error display process, which is this routine, is started as the process performed in step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. In order to reliably prevent the game ball B from being fired in a certain state, the logic of the firing permission signal is set to firing stop logic (fire non-permission logic) and reset from the output terminal of the predetermined output port. Output to the firing control section 633b of the payout control board 633 via the main control output circuit with function.

Following step S400, a lighting signal for displaying the letter E on the setting display 1310g as an error display is output to the setting display 1310g to display an error on the setting display 1310g (step S402).

Following step S402, the main control MPU 1310a displays an error on the function display unit 1400 (step S404). In this step S404, a lighting signal for lighting all the various indicators of the function display unit 1400 is output to the function display unit 1400, and an error is displayed on the function display unit 1400. FIG.

Following step S404, the main control MPU 1310a performs serial communication initialization (step S406), then creates an error display command and sets transmission information (step S408), and then sets in step S406. A peripheral control board transmission command transmission process for transmitting transmission information (error display command) to the peripheral control board 1510 as main peripheral serial data is performed (step S410), and this routine ends.

The serial communication initial setting in step S406 is the same as the serial communication initial setting in step S234 in the setting change process shown in FIG. 213 and the serial communication initial setting in step S44 in the main control side power-on process shown in FIG. The peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S410 is the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process in step S238 in the setting change process shown in FIG. This is the same processing as the peripheral control board transmission command transmission processing in step S120. The error display processing, which is this routine, is the processing performed in step S33 in the main control side power-on processing shown in FIG. 214) and step S372 in the setting value confirmation display process shown in FIG. Due to this infinite loop, the state in which the error display processing is completed is maintained, and the game cannot be progressed at all.

Therefore, in this embodiment, serial communication initialization is performed in step S406, and the transmission information (error display command) set in step S408 is used as main peripheral serial data in the peripheral control board transmission command transmission process of step S410. Sending to 1510.

The error display command is a command to notify that there is an abnormality (or that the content stored in the main control built-in RAM is unreliable). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the error display command, the CPU of the peripheral control IC stores and holds error display history information (information that associates the error display command with the received date and time) in the internal RAM of the real-time clock IC (not shown). ).

In addition, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the error display command, the display area of the effect display device 1600 displays a blue background image saying "A RAM error has occurred. Please call an attendant." In addition to performing control to display a message image of white characters, the announcement "A RAM error has occurred. Please call a staff member." Various speakers (top center speaker, top side speaker, body frame speaker of the body frame 4, etc.) are forcibly set to the maximum volume without depending on the volume adjusted by pressing the button 227. ) to control the flow. The processing for notifying the RAM error by means of the error display command is the processing with the highest priority. Prioritize error reporting.

[22. Various control processing of payout control board]
Next, various control processes performed by the payout control board 633 will be described with reference to FIGS. 216 to 219. FIG. FIG. 216 is a flow chart showing an example of processing when power is turned on for the payout control unit, FIG. 217 is a flow chart showing the continuation of the processing when power is turned on for the payout control unit in FIG. 216, and FIG. FIG. 219 is a flow chart showing the continuation of the power-on process, and FIG. 219 is a flow chart showing an example of the payout control unit timer interrupt process. First, the payout control unit power-on processing will be described, and then the payout control unit timer interrupt processing will be described.

[22-1. Dispensing control unit power-on processing]
First, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, under the control of the payout control MPU of the payout control unit 633a in the payout control board 633, as shown in FIGS. . When this payout control unit power-on process is started, the payout control MPU sets the interrupt mode (step S500). This interrupt mode is for setting the priority of the interrupt of the payout control MPU. In the present embodiment, the payout control unit timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is set to have the highest priority.

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

Following step S502, the payout control MPU performs wait timer processing 1 (step S506), and determines whether or not a power failure warning signal is input (step S508). The voltage does not rise immediately after the power is turned on until it reaches the predetermined voltage. On the other hand, when there is a power failure or momentary power failure (a phenomenon in which the power supply is temporarily stopped), the voltage drops, and when it becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input as a power failure warning from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310. . Similarly, when the voltage becomes lower than the power failure warning voltage after the power is turned on until it rises to a predetermined voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 . Therefore, the wait timer process 1 in step S506 is a process for waiting until the voltage becomes larger than the blackout warning voltage after the power is turned on and stabilized. ms) is set. The determination in step S508 is performed based on a power failure warning signal from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310. FIG.

Following step S508, the payout control MPU determines whether or not the RAM clear switch of the payout control board 633 is operated (step S512). This determination is based on the logic of the operation signal from the RAM clear switch, and when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is HI, it is determined that the RAM clear is not instructed. On the other hand, when the logic of the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the RAM clear switch is LOW, it is determined that the RAM clear is instructed, and the RAM is cleared. It is determined that the switch is operated.

When the payout control MPU determines in step S512 that the RAM clear switch has been operated, it sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to 1 (step S514). In other words, the payout control MPU makes it possible to perform RAM clear processing for initializing the RAM built in the payout control MPU (that is, the payout control built-in RAM) over a predetermined period of time from the power-on.

On the other hand, when the payout control MPU determines in step S512 that the RAM clear switch has not been operated, it sets the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG to 0 (step S516). This payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is stored in the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control MPU, for example, various flags, various information stored in various information storage areas (for example, prize ball information storage area The logic state of the prize ball stock number PBS, the real ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc., and the PRDY signal stored in the CR communication information storage area are set. This is a flag indicating whether or not to erase the payout information related to payout (PRDY signal output setting information, etc.). Note that the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG set in steps S514 and S516 is stored in the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) of the payout control MPU.

Following step S514 or step S516, the payout control MPU performs setting to permit access to the payout control built-in RAM (step S518). With this setting, access to the payout control built-in RAM can be performed, and for example, payout information can be written (stored) or read.

After step S518, the payout control MPU sets the stack pointer (step S520). The stack pointer indicates, for example, an address stacked on the stack to temporarily store the contents of a storage element (register) in use, or a temporary return address of this routine when returning to this routine after terminating a subroutine. It indicates the address stacked on the stack for storage, and the stack pointer advances each time the stack is stacked. At step S520, the initial address is set in the stack pointer, and from this initial address, the register contents, the return address, etc. are stacked on the stack. Then, the stack pointer returns to the initial address by sequentially reading from the last stacked stack to the first stacked stack.

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

In the determination of step S522, the payout control MPU calculates a checksum when the payout RAM clear notification flag HRCL-FLG is 0, that is, when it determines not to erase the payout information (step S524). This checksum is calculated by regarding the payout information stored in the payout control built-in RAM as numerical values and calculating the total.

Following step S524, the payout control MPU determines whether the calculated checksum value matches the checksum value stored in payout control unit power-off processing (at power-off) described later. (step S526). When the payout control MPU determines that they match in step S526, it determines whether or not the payout backup flag HBK-FLG is 1 (step S528). This payout backup flag HBK-FLG is a flag indicating whether or not payout backup information such as payout information and checksum value is stored in the payout control built-in RAM in payout control unit power failure processing described later. It is set to a value of 1 when the control unit power failure processing is normally completed, and to a value of 0 when the payout control unit power failure processing is not completed normally.

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

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

Following step S532, the payout control MPU sets the working area of the payout control built-in RAM as an initial setting (step S534). For this setting, the initial information is read from the payout control built-in ROM and this initial information is set in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM.

Following step S530 or step S534, the payout control MPU performs interrupt initialization (step S536). This setting is to set the interrupt period when the later-described payout control unit timer interrupt process is performed. In this embodiment, it is set to 2 ms.

Following step S536, the payout control MPU performs interrupt permission setting (step S538). Due to this setting, the interrupt period set in step S536, that is, the payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeated every 2 ms.

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

Following step S539, the payout control MPU determines whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input (step S540). When the power supply of the pachinko machine 1 is shut off, power failure or momentary power failure occurs, as described above, when the voltage drops below the power failure warning voltage, a power failure warning signal is input from the power failure monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 as a power failure warning. be done. The determination in step S540 is made based on this power failure warning signal.

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

In the determination of step S542, when the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is 0, that is, when it is determined that 2 ms has not elapsed, the payout control MPU returns to step S540, and the payout control MPU receives the power failure warning signal. Determine whether or not

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

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

Following step S546, the payout control MPU performs port output processing (step S548). In this port output process, various kinds of information are 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 MPU based on the various information. In the output information storage area, for example, the payout motor 584 is controlled to drive and payout motor 584 with payout ACK information that tells that various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 (a prize ball command and a self-check command) have been received normally. Various information such as drive information, prize ball number information of the number of game balls actually put out by the payout motor 584, and LED display information displayed on the error LED display are stored, and payout control is performed based on this output information. When various commands related to payout from the main control board 1310 are normally received from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the MPU, the payer ACK signal is output to the main control board 1310 and the drive signal is output to the payout motor 584. Alternatively, the number of balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 is output to the external terminal plate 558 as a winning ball number information output signal (in this embodiment, the payout motor 584 actually pays out 10 game balls). A prize number information output signal is output to the external terminal plate 558 each time the ball is played.

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

In the port output process of step S548, the value of the prize number information output determination counter value is read from the prize ball information storage area. In other words, when the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 584 reaches 10, a prize number information output signal is output to the external terminal plate 558 (at this time, the number of balls exceeded is indicated). 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 counter for determining the number of prize balls information output), and a display signal is output to the error LED indicator.

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

Following step S550, the payout control MPU performs timer update processing (step S552). In this timer update process, when determining whether or not the ball is stuck due to the payout vane 589 to which the rotation of the rotating shaft of the payout motor 584 is transmitted, the ball stickiness determination time set as the determination condition; Skip determination time that is 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 bottom tray 202 is full with the game balls stored During the full tank judgment time, it is judged whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 by the detection signal from the ball run-out detection sensor 574 is a predetermined number or more. In addition to performing time management such as the ball out judgment time set as the judgment condition, the number of game balls received and paid out by the ball housing portion 589b of the payout vane 589 and the actual payout detection sensor 591 When determining whether or not to reset an inconsistency counter INCC for monitoring whether or not inconsistent game ball payouts due to inconsistency between the number of balls detected in step 1 and the number of balls detected in step 1 are repeated Time management is performed for the mismatch counter reset determination time that is set as the condition. For example, when the ball jam determination time is set to 5005 ms, the timer interrupt period is set to 2 ms. By setting it to 0, it accurately measures the time it takes to determine if the ball is stuck. These various determination times are stored as time management information in the time management information storage area of the RAM with built-in payout control.

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

By this process, for example, even if there is an instantaneous power failure or 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 restoration are stored as payout backup information. It is possible to restore the values of the prize ball stock number PBS, the real ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. just before the momentary power failure or power failure. As a result, even if the payout operation of the game balls is executed by the payout device 580 and cannot be continued due to an instantaneous power failure or power failure, the payout operation can be continued when the power is restored. Therefore, the game balls can be paid out to the upper tray 201 and the lower tray 202 just enough. In other words, the payout control MPU, while exchanging various signals with the CR unit in the CR communication process, when the game balls are being put out to the upper tray 201 or the lower tray 202, the momentary power failure or power failure causes the CR unit Even if the exchange of various signals is cut off and the game ball payout 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 restoration By restoring the value stored as payout backup information to the value of the prize ball stock number PBS, the real ball count PB, the drive command number DRV, the mismatch counter INCC, etc. immediately before the momentary power failure or power failure, the instantaneous The exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit immediately before a power failure or power failure can be continued from the time of power restoration, and the payout of game balls can be continued. ing.

In this way, the exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit is restored to the state immediately before the momentary power failure or stoppage when the power is restored even if the momentary power failure or stoppage occurs. This prevents the various signals from the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit from changing due to the effects of an instantaneous power failure or stoppage. Therefore, the reliability of exchange of various signals between the pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) and the CR unit can be enhanced.

Various information stored in the CR communication information storage area is included in the payout backup information. In the CR communication process, when the power is restored, the PRDY signal output setting information is read from the CR communication information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM, which is set in the process of setting the work area of the payout control built-in RAM in step S530. If the PRDY signal output setting information read out by the lever is set to, for example, a logic state of the PRDY signal indicating that the payout operation for paying out the rental balls is impossible, the PRDY signal is put out control. Output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the MPU to the CR unit. Then, in the retry operation monitoring process, for example, which is performed as one process of the main operation setting process, the value of the inconsistency counter INCC of the prize ball information storage area stored in the payout control built-in RAM, which is included in the payout backup information is determined whether the value of the mismatch counter INCC is smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH, and if the value of the mismatch counter INCC is not smaller than the mismatch threshold INCTH, the retry operation is abnormal. , that is, the game ball payout operation by the payout device 580 is determined to be in an abnormal state, the value 1 is set to the retry error flag RTERR-FLG, and in the payout ball stick operation determination setting process, As an error status output setting to the CR unit, for example, the logical state (LOW) of the PRDY signal is output to notify that the payout operation to pay out the rental balls is impossible when the CR unit is not in communication. It is set in the setting information and stored in the CR communication information storage area.

As a result, in the CR communication process, the logic state of the PRDY signal is read from the CR communication information storage area at the next timer interrupt after the power is restored, and the PRDY signal is sent to the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU. to the CR unit. In this way, for example, if the game ball payout operation by the payout device 580 is in an abnormal state immediately before the momentary power failure, the state is restored when the power is restored. At this stage, a PRDY signal indicating that the dispensing operation for dispensing the rental balls is impossible can be output from the output terminal of a predetermined output port of the dispensing control MPU to the CR unit. It is possible to inform that the game ball payout operation is in an abnormal state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the CR unit from outputting BRDY, which is a useless ball rental request signal, at an extremely early stage after 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. 1 is turned on and the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are electrically connected, PRDY is used to notify that the payout operation for paying out the ball is possible. While outputting the logic state of the signal as HI to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port of the payout control MPU, when the logic is LOW, that is, when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, When the payout control board 633 and the CR unit are not electrically connected, the payout control MPU sets the logical state of the PRDY signal to LOW in order to notify that the payout operation for paying out the rental balls is impossible. is output to the CR unit from the output terminal of the predetermined output port. In addition, the logic state of the EXS signal that informs the start or end of one payout operation is stored as EXS signal output setting information in the CR communication information storage area of the payout control built-in RAM, and the payout control board 633 and A CR connection signal that indicates whether or not the CR unit is electrically connected is stored in the state information storage area as CR connection information.

Following step S554, the payout control MPU performs full tank and out-of-ball check processing (step S556). In this full tank and out-of-ball check process, input information is read out from the above-described input information storage area, and based on this input information, a game ball stored in the lower tray 202 is detected by a detection signal from the full-tank detection sensor 154. , and the number of game balls introduced into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number according to the detection signal from the ball-out detection sensor 574. and determine whether or not For example, to determine whether or not the lower tray 202 is full of stored game balls, the timer interrupt cycle of 2 ms is used to detect the full tank detection sensor 154 in the current full tank and out of ball check processing. When the detection signal is ON, and the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is turned OFF in the previous (2 ms ago) full tank and bulb out check process, that is, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is turned from OFF to ON. When the transition is made, timing of the full-tank determination time described above is started in the timer update process of step S552. Then, when the full-tank judgment time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the full-tank judgment time comes, the detection signal from the full-tank detection sensor 154 is turned ON in this full-tank and bulb-out check process. determine whether or not In this determination, when the detection signal from the full-tank detection sensor 154 is ON, full-tank information indicating that the lower tray 202 is full of stored game balls is stored in the above-described state information storage area. do. On the other hand, when the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is OFF, it is determined that the lower tray 202 is not full with the stored game balls, and full tank information is stored in the state information storage area.

Judgment whether or not the number of game balls taken into the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 is equal to or greater than a predetermined number is also performed using the timer interrupt period of 2 ms in this full tank and ball out check process. When the detection signal from the ball-out switch is ON, and the detection signal from the ball-out switch is OFF in the previous (2ms ago) full tank and ball-out check processing, that is, the detection signal from the ball-out detection sensor 574 is When it transitions from OFF to ON, it starts counting the above-mentioned dead ball determination time in the timer updating process of step S552. Then, when the dead ball determination time becomes 0 in the timer update process, that is, when the dead ball determination time is reached, whether the detection signal from the dead ball detection sensor 574 is ON in this full tank and dead ball check process determine whether or not In this determination, when the detection signal from the ball run-out detection sensor 574 is ON, the number of game balls taken into the guide passage 570a of the ball guide unit 570 is determined to be equal to or greater than a predetermined number, and the ball run-out is notified to that effect. While the information is stored in the state information storage area, when the detection signal from the ball cutting detection sensor 574 is OFF, it is assumed that the number of game balls taken into the guidance passage 570a of the ball guidance unit 570 is not equal to or greater than a predetermined number. Bulb-out information to that effect is stored in the state information storage area.

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

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

Following step S560, the payout control MPU performs main action setting processing (step S562). In this main operation setting process, operation settings such as prize balls, rental balls, ball removal, and ball picking are performed, retry operation is determined, and the number of unpaid balls (the number of prize balls in stock) is monitored. .

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

Following step S564, the payout control MPU performs command transmission processing (step S566). In this command transmission process, various kinds of information are read out from the above-described state information storage area, and various commands (frame state 1 command, error cancellation navigation command, and frame state 2 command) classified into state displays are created based on the various information. and transmit it to the main control board 1310 . For example, when out-of-ball information is read out from the state information storage area, if the number of game balls taken into the guide passage 570a of the ball guiding unit 570 is less than a predetermined number based on this out-of-ball information, frame state 1 A command is created and transmitted to the main control board 1310 .

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

Following step S568, returning to step S539, the payout control MPU sets the value A to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, determines in step S540 whether or not a power failure warning signal is input, and determines whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. If no signal is input, it is determined in step S542 whether or not the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is 1. If the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is 1, that is, 2 ms has elapsed, step S544. At step S546, the value 0 is set to the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG, the value B is set to the watchdog timer clear register HWCL at step S546, port output processing is performed at step S548, port input processing is performed at step S550, and step S552. performs timer update processing, performs CR communication processing in step S554, performs full tank and out-of-ball check processing in step S556, performs command reception processing in step S558, performs command analysis processing in step S560, and performs command analysis processing in step S562. Main operation setting processing is performed, LED display data creation processing is performed in step S564, command transmission processing is performed in step S566, 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 called "payout control section main processing".

Depending on the progress of the game by the main control board 1310, the processing contents of the payout control unit main processing differ. Therefore, the time required for the processing of the payout control MPU will vary. Therefore, in the port output process of step S548, the payout control MPU preferentially outputs to the main control board 1310 a payer ACK signal that indicates that various commands relating to payout from the main control board 1310 have been normally received. there is Thereby, the payout control MPU secures the processing time so as to sufficiently perform other processing that fluctuates.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S540 that the power failure warning signal has been input, the payout control MPU sets interrupt prohibition (step S570). Due to this setting, the later-described payout control unit timer interrupt processing is not performed, preventing writing to the payout control built-in RAM and protecting the rewriting of the payout information described above.

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

Following step S574, the payout control MPU clears the watchdog timer (step S576). This clear setting is performed by sequentially setting the value A, the value B, and the value C in the watchdog timer clear register HWCL, as described above.

After step S576, the payout control MPU calculates the checksum and stores the calculated value (step S578). This checksum is calculated by considering the payout information in the work area of the payout control built-in RAM, excluding the storage area for the checksum value calculated in step S524 and the value of the payout backup flag HBK-FLG, as numerical values.

After step S578, the payout control MPU sets the payout backup flag HBK-FLG to 1 (step S580). This completes the storage of the payout backup information.

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

Following step S582, the payout control MPU enters an infinite loop. In this infinite loop, the watchdog timer is not cleared because the watchdog timer clear register HWCL is not set to the values A, B and C in that order. Therefore, the payout control MPU is reset, and thereafter, the payout control unit power-on processing is performed again. It should be noted that the processing of steps S570 to S582 and the infinite loop are referred to as "payout control unit power failure processing".

The pachinko machine 1 (payout control MPU) is reset when there is a power failure or momentary power failure, and the payout control unit power-on processing is performed by the subsequent restoration of power.

In step S526, it is checked whether or not the payout backup information stored in the payout control built-in RAM is normal, and in step S528, it is checked whether or not the payout control unit power failure processing has been completed normally. are 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 has been stored by fraud.

[22-2. Dispensing Control Unit Timer Interrupt Processing]
Next, the payout control section timer interrupt processing will be described. This payout control unit timer interrupt process is repeated every interrupt period (2 ms in this embodiment) set in the payout control unit power-on processing shown in FIGS. 216 to 218.

When the payout control unit timer interrupt process is started, the payout control MPU, as shown in FIG. 219, disables the timer interrupt and switches (saves) the register (step S590). Here, the general-purpose storage element (general-purpose register) used in the payout control unit main processing described above 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 destruction of the contents of general-purpose registers used in the payout control unit main processing.

Following step S590, the payout control MPU sets the value 1 to the 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG (step S592). This 2 ms elapsed flag HT-FLG is a flag that counts 2 ms each time this payout control unit timer interrupt processing is performed, that is, every 2 ms, and has a value of 1 when 2 ms has elapsed, and a value of 0 when 2 ms has not elapsed. set respectively.

After step S592, the payout control MPU switches (restores) the register (step S594). This return is switched from the auxiliary register used in the payout control unit timer interrupt process 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 destruction of the contents of the auxiliary register used in the payout control unit timer interrupt processing.

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

[23. Various control processing of the peripheral control board]
Next, various processes of the peripheral control board 1510 that receives various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) will be described with reference to FIGS. 220 to 224. FIG. FIG. 220 is a flow chart showing an example of the peripheral control unit power-on processing, FIG. 221 is a flow chart showing an example of the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 222 is a flow chart showing an example of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing. 223 is a flow chart showing an example of peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and FIG. 224 is a flow chart showing an example of peripheral control unit power outage notice signal interrupt processing. First, peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described, followed by peripheral control unit V blank interrupt processing, peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing. . In this embodiment, as the priority of interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing is set to the highest priority, followed by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing. It is set in the order of V blank interrupt processing.

The peripheral control IC 1510a of the peripheral control board 1510 (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510") includes the CPU, RAM, VDP, VRAM, sound source, SATA controller, and Various I/O interfaces and the like are integrated on one semiconductor chip.

[23-1. Peripheral control unit power-on processing]
First, the peripheral controller power-on process will be described with reference to FIG. When the pachinko machine 1 is powered on, under the control of the CPU of the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510, as shown in FIG. When the peripheral control unit power-on processing is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs initial setting processing (step S1000). This initial setting process includes a process of initializing the peripheral control IC itself, a hot start/cold start determination process, a process of setting a wait timer after resetting, a process of transferring various control information (peripheral data), and the like. I do. The CPU of the peripheral control IC first performs processing to initialize the peripheral control IC itself. can be initialized. As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is in a state in which the interrupt permission is set, so that, for example, in the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing to be described later, the command related to the control of the game effect output from the main control board 1310 and various commands such as commands relating to the state of the pachinko machine 1 can be received.

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

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

Following step S1002, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sets the value 0 to 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. are set to the value 0 when not executed. The V-blank signal detection flag VB-FLG receives a V-blank signal from the VDP of the peripheral control IC that indicates that the screen data (information defining the configuration of the screen) from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted. A value of 1 is set in peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which will be described later. 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. After setting the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG to 0, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset.

Following step S1004, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 (step S1006). When the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not 1 (is 0), it returns to step S1006 to check whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1. Repeatedly determine whether or not By repeating such determinations, a standby state is established until the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is executed. After determining whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 or not, the CPU of the peripheral control IC outputs a clear signal to the external WDT so that the CPU of the peripheral control IC is not reset. ing.

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

Following step S1008, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs 1ms interrupt timer activation processing (step S1010). In this 1 ms interrupt timer start processing, a 1 ms interrupt timer for executing peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, which will be described later, is started, and the number of times the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is executed by starting this 1 ms interrupt timer is counted. 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN for counting is set to 1 to initialize the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN. This 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing.

Following step S1010, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs effect operation unit monitoring processing (step S1014). In this production operation unit monitoring process, in the production 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 press detection provided in the production operation unit 300 Rotation (direction of rotation) and rotation of the contact operation unit 302 based on 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 production operation unit 300"). Various kinds of information obtained by operating the pressing operation unit 303 (for example, rotation (rotating direction) history information of the contact operation unit 302 created based on detection signals from various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300, and pressing operation The rotation direction of the contact operation unit 302 and whether or not the press operation unit 303 is operated are monitored based on the RAM of the peripheral control IC in which the operation history information of the contact operation unit 303, etc.) is set. It is appropriately determined whether or not to reflect the operation state of the operation unit 303 in the game presentation. Specifically, if the sound volume has been adjusted in the presentation operation unit information acquisition process, the schedule data for sound generation is rewritten according to the adjusted volume, and if the brightness has been adjusted, the lighting mode is changed according to the adjusted brightness. Rewrite the schedule data for generation. As a result, the adjustment of the volume and brightness is reflected in real time, and the performance proceeds with the adjusted volume and brightness.

Note that the CPU of the peripheral control IC also performs a lamp palette setting process as one process of the effect operation unit monitoring process. In the lamp palette setting process, the luminance of LEDs used as direct light, the luminance of LEDs used as indirect light, and respectively. During the progress of the production, the lamp pallet setting process is executed, and the player (or a staff member such as a store clerk in the game hall) operates the production operation unit 301 (the contact operation unit 302, the pressing operation unit 303), and the first When one specified brightness value ranging from the specified brightness value to the 31st specified brightness value, which is the maximum brightness, is set, the above-described scale set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC is set so as to achieve the specified specified brightness value. Tone information can be updated.

Here, the brightness designation value, normal palette value, and special palette value that constitute the lamp palette setting table will be briefly described. As the brightness specification value, one brightness specification value can be set in a range of 32 levels ranging from the 0th (zero) brightness specification value that is the minimum brightness (lights off) to the 31st brightness specification value that is the maximum brightness. A normal palette value and a special palette value, which will be described later, are set in advance corresponding to the 0th (zero) luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value, respectively. A player (or an attendant such as a store clerk in a game hall) operates an operable effect operation section 301 (a contact operation section 302 and a pressing operation section 303) to obtain a 31st brightness that is the maximum brightness from the first specified brightness value. A specified brightness value can be set up to a specified value.

For example, the player (or a staff member such as a game hall clerk) presses the "+" side of the light amount adjustment button 228, and if the current brightness is the minimum brightness (lights off), the 0th (zero) When the first luminance designation value, which is the second highest luminance level after the luminance designation value, is set, a predetermined formula (for example, a straight line The brightness of the LED used as indirect light and the brightness of the LED used as direct light are changed to be higher along a tone curve or a spline tone curve), while the light amount adjustment button 228 When the "-" side of is pressed and the current brightness is set to the maximum brightness, a predetermined formula (for example, , a linear tone curve, or a spline tone curve), the luminance of the LED used as indirect light and the luminance of the LED used as direct light are changed to be lower. In this embodiment, a case is prepared in advance where the player (or a staff member such as a game hall clerk) can set the brightness while the effect is in progress. The desired brightness can be set by pressing the light amount adjustment button 228 by a staff member such as a staff member. In addition, when the player (or an attendant such as a store clerk in the game hall) operates the light amount adjustment button 228, the specified brightness value to the 31st brightness are displayed at predetermined positions in the display area of the effect display device 1600 during the progress of the effect. By displaying a bar-shaped indicator that indicates the position up to the specified value, it is possible to visually indicate in the form of an image how much brightness the player (or staff such as a game hall clerk) desires. It is possible. Further, in the present embodiment, the 14th luminance specified value is set as an initial value (default).

Normally, the pallet value is set as the above-mentioned gradation information for the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative boards provided on the game board side and various decorative boards provided on the door frame side that are directly irradiated as light. be. For the normal palette value, one level is selected from among 17 levels in 5% increments from the minimum palette value (20%), which is the minimum value, to the maximum palette value (100%), which is the maximum value. A formula (for example, a linear tone curve , or a spline-like tone curve).

The minimum palette value (20%) is the maximum palette value corresponding to one luminance designation in the 32-step range from the 0 (zero) luminance designation value to the 31st luminance designation value, which is the luminance designation value described above. (100%) is a value of 20%, and similarly for the other palette values, the values (%) written in parentheses are the above-described brightness specified values, 0 (zero) brightness specified value ~ It is the value for the maximum palette value (100%) corresponding to one luminance designation in the 32-step range up to the 31st luminance designation value.

In this embodiment, the maximum palette value (100%) is normally selected in advance for various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side, which are directly irradiated as light. Among the various decorative boards provided on the game board side that are set as the gradation information described above and are directly irradiated as light, the palette value for a specific decorative board (not shown) (LED that the player feels dazzling) (50%) is selected in advance and set as the gradation information described above.

The special palette value is set as the gradation information described above for the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates used for the light guide plate irradiated as indirect light. Unlike the normal palette value, the special palette value has only one level, and is one of the 32 levels ranging from the 0 (zero) brightness specified value to the 31st brightness specified value, which are the brightness specified values described above. Palette values corresponding to luminance designations are set as the gradation information described above along predetermined mathematical expressions (for example, linear tone curves or spline curve-like tone curves).

As described above, if the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is the same as the brightness of the LED used as direct light, the indirect light from the light guide plate is darker than the direct light. Therefore, in this embodiment, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is set using a special palette value instead of using the normal palette value set for the brightness of the LED used as direct light. It is possible to visually recognize the state in which the light guide plate emits light by indirect light at the first luminance designated value, which is the next highest luminance step after the 0th (zero) luminance designated value, which is the minimum luminance (lights off). As the lowest possible brightness, it is set to a value almost equal to the 18th brightness specified value when the normal palette value is set to the maximum palette value (100%), and the range from the 1st brightness specified value to the 31st brightness specified value Among them, one luminance designation value and the corresponding palette value are set according to a predetermined formula (for example, a linear tone curve or a spline tone curve).

Thus, in the lamp palette setting process, the brightness of the LED used as direct light and the LED When setting the brightness and the brightness of the LED used as direct light, the player (or a staff member such as a store clerk in the game hall) operates the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit 303. Brightness by operating While set according to the normal palette value corresponding to the specified value, the player (or a staff member such as a store clerk in the game hall) touches the contact operation unit 302 and the pressing operation unit for the brightness of the LED used as indirect light. The brightness designation value by the operation of 303 and the corresponding special palette value are set. As a result, when the player feels that the brightness of the LED used as the direct light is dazzling and sets the brightness by operating the contact operation section 302 and the pressing operation section 303 in order to reduce the brightness, The brightness of the LED used is set to the lowest brightness (that is, the first brightness specified value that is the next highest brightness level after the 0th (zero) brightness specified value that is the minimum brightness (lights off)), and in conjunction with this Then, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is also set to the lowest brightness (that is, the first brightness specified value, which is the next highest brightness level after the 0th (zero) brightness specified value, which is the minimum brightness (lights off)). Even so, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is set to a value approximately equal to the 18th brightness specified value when the normal palette value is set to the maximum palette value (100%). The minimum brightness is set so that the light guide plate can be visually recognized as emitting light by indirect light.

In addition, the programmer who designs the light emission mode individually adjusts the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side for the LEDs used as direct light. Even without setting, the light emission mode accompanying the flow of performance is set, and the flow of performance by the light emission mode of various LEDs mounted on various decorative substrates provided on the game board side and various decorative substrates provided on the door frame side. , set the normal palette value to a small palette value (for example, 50%) for a specific decoration substrate that is too bright (or a slightly darker luminance can produce a more dramatic effect), and other decorations By setting the normal palette value to the maximum palette value (100%) for the substrate, the balance of the overall light emission mode can be very easily changed. That is, the player (or a staff member such as a store clerk in the game hall) operates the operable effect operation section 301 (contact operation section 302, pressing operation section 303) to obtain the maximum brightness from the first brightness specified value to the 31st brightness. Even if one specified brightness value is set up to the specified brightness value, a small palette value (for example, 50%) corresponding to one specified brightness value is set for the specific decorative board, Since one specified luminance value and the corresponding maximum palette value (100%) are set for the other decorative substrates, the relationship between the mutually set light emission modes (bright or dark) is set. The brightness can be adjusted very easily without destroying the relationship).

Furthermore, indirect light from the light guide plate is more difficult to adjust the brightness than direct light, but for LEDs used as indirect light, a special palette value different from the normal palette value (that is, independent from the normal palette value) The brightness can be set by . As a result, the brightness of the LED used as indirect light is managed by the special palette value, and the brightness of the LED used as direct light is managed by the normal palette value. and the brightness of the LED used as direct light can be easily adjusted.

As a result, an effect corresponding to the lottery result of the peripheral control board 1510 is executed.

The peripheral control ROM stores in advance the peripheral control unit 1511, various control programs for controlling the peripheral control unit 1511 and the like, various data, various control data, and various schedule data. The various schedule data include screen generation schedule data for generating a screen to be drawn on the effect display device 1600, light emission mode generation schedule data for generating light emission modes of various LEDs, and sound for generating sound effects such as music and sound effects.

Following step S1022, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs warning processing (step S1024). In this warning process, when the commands analyzed in the received command analysis process in step S1022 include various commands classified as notification displays, an abnormality display mode for executing various abnormality notifications is set. Screen generation schedule data, light emission mode generation schedule data, sound generation schedule data, electric drive source schedule data, and the like are read out (extracted) from the peripheral control ROM and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. In addition, in the warning process, when multiple abnormalities occur at the same time, the abnormality notification is performed in order of the priority registered in advance, and the abnormality notification is automatically changed to the remaining abnormality notification after the abnormality is resolved. It is designed to Thus, a plurality of abnormalities can be monitored simultaneously without losing information that one abnormality has occurred due to the occurrence of another abnormality after the occurrence of one abnormality and before the abnormality is resolved. can be done.

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

Following step S1026, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 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 the screen data indicated by the pointer out of the screen data arranged in time series constituting the schedule data for screen generation is stored in the peripheral control ROM. is read (extracted) from and output to VDP of the peripheral control IC.

When screen data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC, the VDP of the peripheral control IC reads out image data from the SDRAM based on the input screen data and renders (displays) one screen on the effect display device 1600. 10 minutes (one frame) of drawing data is generated in the built-in VRAM.

Following step S1030, the CPU of the peripheral control IC 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 schedule data for sound generation, the sound command data indicated by the pointer is It is read (extracted) from the peripheral control ROM and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. When sound command data is input from the CPU of the peripheral control IC, the sound source of the peripheral control IC reads the sound data from the SDRAM and incorporates sound data such as music and sound effects according to the track number specified in the sound command data. , set the output channel to use according to the output channel number.

In the sound data creation process, each time the sound data creation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral controller steady-state process is performed), the sound volume adjustment button 227 is operated based on the volume adjustment operation signal from the volume adjustment button 227. Identifies the rotational position. The CPU of the peripheral control IC controls the sound source of the peripheral control IC so that the sound volume corresponding to the rotational position of the volume control button 227 is obtained, and in the sound data output process of step S1018, the sound data is set in the sound data creation process. Sound data is output to various speakers from the output channel. As a result, sounds such as music and sound effects are played from various speakers in accordance with various presentations.

Specifically, the resistance value is varied by rotating the volume control button 227, and the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position of the volume switch is converted from an analog value to a digital value, resulting in a value of 0. It is converted to a value of 1024 steps up to a value of 1023. In this embodiment, the values of 1024 steps are divided into 7 and managed as substrate volumes 0-6. The board volume 0 is set to mute, and the board volume 6 is set to the maximum sound volume. The sound source of the peripheral control IC is controlled so that the volume is set to the board volume 0 to 6, and music and music are played from the top center speaker and top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the body frame speaker for bass sound of the body frame 4. Sound effects are flowing. In this way, by adjusting the volume based on the turning operation of the volume control button 227, music and sound effects are played from the top center speaker and top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the main body frame speaker for bass sound on the main body frame 4. It's becoming

The sound command data also includes a sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the track in which the sound data is incorporated. In addition to the sound data and the sub-volume value for adjusting the sound volume, the sound data and the sound volume of the notification sound for notifying the hall clerk of the occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or the illegal act on the pachinko machine 1 are adjusted. Contains the subvolume value to be used.

Specifically, for the effect sound, the substrate volume adjusted by rotating the volume control button 227 is set as the sub-volume value, and for the notification sound, the volume control button 227 The maximum volume is set as the sub-volume value without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation. The sub-volume value of the effect sound is set for a predetermined period after the power is turned on (specifically, the period until the peripheral control unit completes the initial setting process (step S1000) and the current time setting process (step S1002)) and the special symbol display. A certain period of time when stopping the fluctuation display of special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) in the device (first special symbol display device, second special symbol display device) (in this example, it is stopped by the peripheral control unit Except until 0.5 seconds have passed since the decorative pattern was confirmed and displayed based on the reception of the display command (until 0.5 seconds have passed since the stop display command was received)), the effect operation unit 300 Adjustment can be made by operating the contact operation portion 302 and the pressing operation portion 303 .

Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, a predetermined period after power-on (specifically, the period until the peripheral control unit completes the initial setting process (step S1000) and the current time setting process (step S1002)), A certain period of time (in this example, the peripheral control unit Until 0.5 seconds have passed since the decorative pattern was confirmed and displayed based on the reception of the stop display command (until 0.5 seconds have passed since the stop display command was received)), except for the production By operating the contact operation section 302 and the pressing operation section 303 of the operation unit 300, the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position of the volume control button 227 in the sound data creation process is adjusted to seven levels of the board volume 0 to 6. A predetermined value is added or added to the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotational position of the volume control button 227 according to the operation of the contact operation section 302 or the pressing operation section 303 of the effect operation unit 300. By subtracting, the sub-volume value of the effect sound can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the value of the substrate volume to set the substrate volume.

The sound specification data also includes a master volume value for adjusting the volume of the channel to be output. Of the tracks, the sound data of the effect sound incorporated in the track to be used and the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the effect sound incorporated in the track to be used are synthesized, and the volume of the synthesized effect sound is Actually, it is amplified up to a master volume value which is the sound volume flowing from the top center speaker and the top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the main body frame speaker for bass sound of the main body frame 4, and serializes this amplified production sound to audio data. It is designed to be output as

In this embodiment, the master volume value is set to a constant value, and when the volume of the synthesized effect sound is the maximum volume, the top center speaker on the side of the door frame 3 is amplified to the master volume value, The volume of sound emitted from the top side speaker and the main body frame speaker for bass sound of the main body frame 4 is set to be the maximum allowable volume. Specifically, for the sound effects, among the plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the peripheral control IC, the sound data of the sound effects incorporated in the track to be used and the volume of the sound effects incorporated in the track to be used and the substrate volume adjusted by rotating the volume control button 227 set as a sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the synthesized effect sound is actually adjusted to the top of the door frame 3 side. Amplifies to a master volume value which is the volume of sound flowing from the central speaker, the top side speaker, and the main body frame speaker for bass of the main body frame 4, serializes the amplified production sound, outputs it as audio data, and outputs it as audio data for the notification sound. is the sound data of the informative sound incorporated in the track to be used and the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the volume control button 227 set as a sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the informative sound incorporated in the track to be used. The volume of the synthesized notification sound is actually output from the top center speaker and top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the main body frame speaker for bass sound of the main body frame 4. The signal is amplified up to a master volume value that becomes a flowing volume, and the amplified notification sound is serialized and output as audio data.

Here, when the performance sound is played from the top center speaker, the top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the main body frame speaker for low sound of the main body frame 4, the pachinko machine 1 malfunctions and the pachinko machine 1 is fraudulent. To briefly explain the control of playing the notification sound to notify the staff of the hall of the action, first, the sub-volume value of the track in which the sound effect is incorporated is forcibly set to mute, and the sound effect is incorporated. The sound data of the track, the sub-volume value set to mute, the sound data of the track in which the informational sound is incorporated, and the sub-volume value in which the volume of the informational sound is set to the maximum volume are synthesized, and this synthesis is performed. The volume of the produced sound and the volume of the notification sound are amplified to the master volume value which is the volume actually flowing from the top central speaker on the side of the door frame 3, the top side speaker, and the main body frame speaker for bass of the main body frame 4. Then, the amplified effect sound and notification sound are serialized and output as audio data. In other words, only the notification sound with the maximum volume is actually emitted from the top center speaker, the top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the body frame speaker for bass sound of the body frame 4. At this time, since the production sound is muted, the production sound does not flow from the top center speaker and top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the main body frame speaker for bass sound of the main body frame 4, but the production sound is generated as described above. progressing according to the schedule data for

In this embodiment, the notification sound is emitted from the top center speaker and top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3 and the main body frame speaker for bass sound of the main body frame 4 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds). After a predetermined period of time has passed, the volume of the effect sound progressing according to the sound generation schedule data that has been forcibly set to mute until now will be reduced to the sub-volume value by turning the volume control button 227 and adjusting the substrate volume. (At this time, if the volume of the effect sound is adjusted by operating the contact operation unit 302 or the press operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300, the sub-volume value of the adjusted effect sound ), and the sound flows from the top center speaker, the top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the main body frame speaker for bass sound on the main body frame 4.

In this way, when the performance sound is flowing from the top center speaker and the top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3, and the body frame speaker for bass sound of the body frame 4, the pachinko machine 1 malfunctions and the pachinko machine 1 is affected. When a notification sound is played to notify a hall clerk of a fraudulent act, the volume of the effect sound is muted, and the notification sound is emitted from the top center speaker and top side speaker on the side of the door frame 3 and the bass sound of the main body frame 4. Although it flows from the main body frame speaker, this muted effect sound progresses according to the schedule data for sound generation. When the main body frame speaker for bass sound of the main body frame 4 ceases to flow, the effect sound does not start to flow again from the point at which the informative sound started to flow, but the sound generation schedule data is maintained until a predetermined period has elapsed since the informative sound started to flow. It is designed to start flowing again from the point where it progressed according to

In addition, the notification sound and the notification sound are designed to flow without depending on the volume based on the turning operation of the volume control switch or the pressing operation of the volume control button 227, and the volume from mute to maximum volume can be controlled by the program. The CPU of the control IC can control and adjust the sound source of the peripheral control IC. The volume adjusted by this program can be smoothly changed from mute to maximum volume. For example, even if an attendant such as a store clerk in a game hall rotates the volume control switch to set the volume to a low volume, the performance sounds such as music and sound effects played from various speakers become small, but the pachinko machine 1 does not. When a problem occurs or the player is cheating, a notification sound set to a high volume (maximum volume in this embodiment) can be played, and the player presses the volume control button 227. Even if the sound volume is reduced by operation, the performance sounds such as music and sound effects played from various speakers are reduced, but if there is a problem with the pachinko machine 1 or if the player commits a fraudulent act. A notification sound set to a high volume (maximum volume in this embodiment) can be played when the user is present. Therefore, even if the volume of the effect sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the notification sound from making it difficult for staff members such as store clerks in the game hall to notice the occurrence of a problem or the player's dishonesty.

Following step S1032, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs backup processing (step S1034). In this backup process, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are copied to a backup area for regular processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC for backup, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are provided in the SDRAM. Make a backup by copying to the backup area for regular processing.

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

Following step S1036, the CPU of the peripheral control IC sets the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG to 0 as execution completion of the steady-state processing of the peripheral control unit (step S1038), returns to step S1004 again, and detects the V blank signal. The flag VB-FLG is initialized by setting a value of 0, and the determination in step S1006 is repeated until the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is set to a value of 1 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process, which will be described later. That is, in step S1006, the system waits until the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1004. In this way, when it is determined that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 in step S1006, steps S1008 to S1038 are performed. The processing from step S1008 to step S1038 is called "peripheral control unit regular processing".

In this peripheral control unit steady-state processing, first, in step S1008, the value 1 is set to the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG assuming that the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed. , and step S1036, and finally in step S1038, the normal processing in-progress flag SP-FLG is set to 0 to indicate completion of execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing, and the processing is completed. Become. The peripheral controller steady-state processing is executed when the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 in step S1006. This V-blank signal detection flag VB-FLG, as described above, is a V-blank signal that indicates that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted. A value of 1 is set in a peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process, which will be described later, which is executed when input to the CPU. In this embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the effect display device 1600 is set to approximately 30 fps per second. .3 ms (=1000 ms/30 fps). In other words, the peripheral controller steady-state processing is repeatedly executed approximately every 33.3 ms.

[23-2. Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing executed when a V blank signal is input from the VDP of the peripheral control IC to indicate that the screen data from the CPU of the peripheral control IC can be accepted. will be explained. When this peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is 0 (step S1045), as shown in FIG. As described above, the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 1 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing of steps S1008 to S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. Each is set to a value of 0 when the processing is completed.

In the determination of step S1045, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is not 0 (is 1), that is, it determines that the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed, Exit the routine. On the other hand, in the determination of step S1045, when the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is 0, that is, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the execution of the steady-state processing of the peripheral control unit is completed, the V blank signal detection flag VB -FLG is set to 1 (step S1050), and this routine ends. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing. Each of them is set to a value of 0 when no part-stationary processing is executed.

In this embodiment, it is determined in step S1045 whether the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG is 0, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit steady-state processing has been completed, and the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is executed. When the processing is completed, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is set to 1 in step S1050. When the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is set to a value of 1, it is determined in step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. Since the processing is forcibly canceled in the middle and the execution of the peripheral controller steady-state processing is started from the beginning, in order to prevent this, step S1008 in the peripheral controller power-on processing (peripheral controller steady-state processing) in FIG. By setting the value 1 to the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG, the fact that the peripheral control unit steady-state processing is being executed is notified to the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, and the peripheral control of FIG. By setting the steady-state processing flag SP-FLG to 0 in step S1038 in the power-on processing (peripheral control unit steady-state processing), the peripheral control unit of this routine indicates that the peripheral control unit steady-state processing has been completed. By notifying the V blank signal interrupt processing, it is determined whether or not the steady processing flag SP-FLG is 0 in the determination in step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing of this routine, that is, whether the peripheral control unit steady processing has been completed. In other words, this is a measure to be taken when the peripheral controller steady-state processing cannot be completed until the next V-blank signal is input after the V-blank signal is input, which is a so-called processing failure.

As a result, in the current peripheral control unit steady-state processing, if the processing cannot be completed within a time of about 33.3 ms and the processing fails, the next processing will be performed by the judgment in step S1006 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. is in a standby state until the V blank signal is input. That is, the time required to execute the current peripheral controller steady-state processing that has failed is approximately 66.6 ms. Peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, which is executed repeatedly each time a 1 ms interrupt timer occurs due to activation of the 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing (peripheral control unit regular processing) of FIG. is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady process. is executed only 32 times. That is, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing fails, 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 processing which is timer interrupt control are not consistent. It is designed not to collapse. Therefore, even if the peripheral controller steady-state processing fails, it is possible to reliably match the state of progress of the presentation.

[23-3. Peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing that is repeatedly executed every time the 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by starting the 1 ms interrupt timer at step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing of the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. 220 will be described. . When the peripheral controller 1 ms timer interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral controller IC determines whether or not the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is less than 33 times, as shown in FIG. 222 (step S1100). As described above, this 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is determined by this routine after the 1ms interrupt timer is activated by the 1ms interrupt timer activation process of step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process of the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. This is a counter that counts the number of times that a certain peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt process has been executed. In this embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the effect display device 1600 is set to approximately 30 fps per second. .3 ms (=1000 ms/30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed at intervals of about 33.3 ms, after starting the 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the next peripheral control unit steady processing is executed. is executed, the peripheral controller 1ms timer interrupt process is executed only 32 times. Specifically, when the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt occurs, the second, . will occur.

In step S1100, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the 1 ms timer interrupt process has started when the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not less than 33, that is, the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt has occurred. When the determination is made, this routine is terminated as it is. If the occurrence of the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, in the present embodiment, the priority of the interrupt processing is given to the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing. Although it is set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to this 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in this embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that governs the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next V blank signal, , the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to the 33rd 1 ms 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 regular processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing is newly started due to the generation of the first 1ms timer interrupt. ing.

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

Following step S1102, motor and solenoid drive processing is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive processing, a pointer indicates the drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids which are arranged in time series constituting the electric drive source schedule data set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. According to the drive data, the electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids are driven, and the pointer is updated to the next drive data specified in chronological order. do. As a result, an electric drive source such as a motor or solenoid managed by the CPU of the peripheral control IC (for example, an electric drive source provided in the door frame 3, an electric drive source provided in various effect units provided in the game board 5, etc.) ) are driven according to the electrical drive source schedule data.

Following step S1104, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs movable body information acquisition processing (step S1106). In this movable object information acquisition process, it is determined whether or not detection signals from various sensors provided in various effect units provided on the game board 5 have been input, thereby providing history information (for example, original data) of detection signals from various sensors. position history information, movable position history information, etc.) and set it in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. The CPU of the peripheral control IC, based on the history information of the detection signals from the various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC, the original position (standby position) of the various movable bodies provided in the various effect units provided on the game board 5 or acquire the movable position to grasp the movable position.

Following step S1106, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs effect operation unit information acquisition processing (step S1108). In this effect operation unit information acquisition process, by determining whether or not detection signals from various sensors provided in the effect operation unit 300 are input, history information of detection signals from various sensors 302 rotation (rotation direction) history information and operation history information of the pressing operation unit 303, etc.) are created and set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. Whether or not the contact operation unit 302 or the pressing operation unit 303 has been operated can be obtained from history information of detection signals from various sensors set in the RAM of the peripheral control IC. In the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, by operating the effect operation unit 301, the volume of the effect sound output from the top central speaker, the top side speaker, and the main body frame speaker of the main body frame 4 can be adjusted, and the door frame 3 and the brightness of various LEDs mounted on various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 can be adjusted.

Following step S1108, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs backup processing (step S1110) and ends this routine. In this backup processing, the contents stored in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are copied to a backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC for backup, and the contents stored in the SDRAM are copied to the SDRAM. It is backed up by copying it to the provided backup area for 1ms timer interrupt processing. In this embodiment, the backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC and the backup area for regular processing provided in the RAM of the peripheral control IC are set in different areas, and the SDRAM The backup area for 1 ms timer interrupt processing provided in the SDRAM and the backup area for regular processing provided in the SDRAM are set in different areas.

As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt process, various processes relating to the effects of steps S1104 to S1108 are executed within a period of 1ms as the progress of the effects. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady-state processing in the peripheral control unit power-on processing of FIG. there is In the peripheral controller 1ms timer interrupt processing, when the 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not less than the value 33 in step S1100, that is, when the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt occurs and this peripheral controller 1ms timer interrupt processing is started, Therefore, even if the occurrence of the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next occurrence of the V blank signal, the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt will cause the peripheral control unit After forcibly canceling the start of the 1 ms timer interrupt processing and restarting the 1 ms interrupt timer again in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady-state processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, the peripheral control is performed by newly generating the first 1 ms timer interrupt. 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started. That is, 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 process which is the timer interrupt control is prevented from collapsing. Therefore, it is possible to reliably match the state of progress of the production.

Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output varies somewhat depending on the size of the liquid crystal of the effect display device 1600, and the V blank signal is output even in the manufacturing lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control IC is mounted. The output interval may change slightly. In this embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that governs the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next V blank signal, the peripheral control In order to execute the part V blank interrupt process, the start of the peripheral control part 1 ms timer interrupt process due to the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. In other words, in the present embodiment, even if the interval at which the V blank signal is output changes slightly, by forcibly canceling the start of the peripheral controller 1ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1ms timer interrupt, this It is possible to absorb the time lag caused by a slight change in the interval at which the V blank signal is output.

[23-4. Peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral controller 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 start to be sent as serial data, the CPU of the peripheral control IC uses this as a trigger to transmit the main peripheral serial data to the serial I/O port of the peripheral control IC by 1 byte (8 bits). ) is fetched into the reception buffer, and when this fetching is completed, an interrupt occurs with this as a trigger, and the peripheral controller command reception interrupt processing is performed. One packet of the main-circumference serial data consists of 3 bytes. The 1st byte is the status, the 2nd byte is the mode, and the 3rd byte is the status and mode. is assigned a sum value calculated from

When the peripheral controller command reception interrupt process is started, the CPU of the peripheral controller IC determines whether or not the 1-byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 223 (step S1200). This 1-byte reception period timer sets a period during which 1-byte (8-bit) information of the main cycle serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 can be received.

In the judgment of step S1200, the CPU of the peripheral control IC, when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out, that is, out of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310, reads 1-byte (8-bit) information. When it is determined that it is within the period in which reception is possible, 1-byte information received from the reception buffer of the serial I/O port of the peripheral control IC is fetched (step S1202), and the value 1 is added (incremented) to the reception counter SRXC. step S1204). This reception counter SRXC is a counter that indicates the number of times the main circumference serial data is read out from the reception buffer. When it is taken out from the reception buffer, the value is 2, and when the sum value, which is the third byte of the main-circumference serial data, is taken out from the reception buffer, the value is 3. An initial value of 0 is set to the reception counter SRXC when the power is turned on.

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

In the judgment of step S1206, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that when the reception counter SRXC is not 3, that is, following the status which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data, the mode which 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-circumference serial data, has not been sequentially read out from the reception buffer, a 1-byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine ends. A 1-byte reception period timer is set in step S1208, thereby setting a period during which the mode, which is 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.

On the other hand, in the determination of step S1206, when the reception counter SRXC is 3, the CPU of the peripheral control IC, following the status, which is the first byte of the main peripheral serial data, reads the second byte of the main peripheral serial data. In a certain mode and when it is determined that the sum value, which is the third byte of the main-circumference serial data, is sequentially taken out from the reception buffer, the reception counter SRXC is set to an initial value of 0 (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step S1210). S1212). In this calculation, the status, which is the first byte of the main-circumference serial data, and the mode, which is the second byte of the main-circumference serial data, which have already been extracted from the reception 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 circumferential serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, matches the sum value calculated in step S1212 (step S1214). The sum value, which is the third byte of the main-circumference serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202, is the sum value assigned as the third byte of the main-circumference serial data among the main-circumference 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 facility of the game hall, and when the game balls rub against each other and become electrically charged, electrostatic discharge occurs and noise is generated. in a receptive environment.

Therefore, in this embodiment, on the side of the peripheral control board 1510, the status assigned as the first byte of the received main peripheral serial data and the mode assigned as the second byte of the main peripheral serial data are regarded as numerical values. The total (sum value) is calculated using the main control board 1310, and does this calculated sum value match the sum value assigned as the 3rd byte of the main peripheral serial data among the main peripheral serial data from the main control board 1310? is determining whether or not As a result, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines whether or not the main peripheral serial data has been affected by noise between the main control substrate 1310 and the peripheral control substrate 1510 and has changed to non-normal main peripheral serial data. can judge.

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

On the other hand, in the judgment of step S1200, when the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out, the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that 1 byte (8 bits) of the main peripheral serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310 is When it is determined that the period for which information can be received has passed, or in the determination in step S1214, the CPU of the peripheral control IC reads the sum value, which is the third byte of the main peripheral serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202. and the sum value calculated in step S1212 do not match, the routine ends.

[23-5. Peripheral control unit blackout warning signal interrupt processing]
Next, a description will be given of the peripheral controller power outage warning signal interrupt process executed when the power outage warning signal from the power outage monitoring circuit of the main control board 1310 is input from the main control board 1310 as a trigger. 224, the CPU of the peripheral control IC first starts a 2 microsecond timer (step S1300) to determine whether a power failure warning signal has been input. (step S1302). If the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines in step S1302 that the power failure warning signal has not been input, it ends this routine.

On the other hand, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines in step S1302 that the power failure warning signal has been input, it 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 passed 2 microseconds. If it is determined in step S1304 that two macroseconds have not elapsed, the CPU of the peripheral control IC returns to step S1302 to determine whether or not a power failure warning signal has been input. If so, this routine is terminated as it is, while if it is determined that the power failure warning signal has been input, it is again determined 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 has been input for 2 microseconds after the start of the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt process, which is this routine.

In the determination in step S1304, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines that the power failure warning signal continues to be input for 2 microseconds after the start of the peripheral control unit power failure warning signal interrupt processing, which is this routine, 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 executing the turning off of the backlight of the performance display device 1600, turning off the excitation of the motors and solenoids provided on the game board 5, and turning off various LEDs. By suppressing, stable operation is ensured only for a period of 20 milliseconds, which is the time during which the CPU of the peripheral control IC can operate even if the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off.

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

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

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

On the other hand, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines in step S1312 that the power failure warning signal has not been input, or after step S1314, it returns to step S1312 again to determine whether the power failure warning signal has been input. determine whether In other words, it is endlessly determined whether or not the power failure warning signal is input. By endlessly continuing the determination in this way, when the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines in step S1312 that the power failure warning signal has not been input, it is no longer possible to output a clear signal to the external WDT. While the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset, if the CPU of the peripheral control IC determines in step S1312 that the power failure warning signal has been input, the CPU of the peripheral control IC performs WDT clear processing in step S1314. CPU is not reset. Note that when the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset, the processing at power-on of the peripheral control unit shown in FIG. 220 is started again.

In this way, if the input of the power failure warning signal continues in the infinite loop as determined by step S1312, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset immediately before the power failure state by executing the WDT clearing process in step S1314. It is designed not to take. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1312 that the input of the power failure warning signal is canceled without being continued in the infinite loop, the WDT clear processing is not executed, so that the output of the clear signal to the external WDT is interrupted. It's becoming As a result, even if the peripheral controller power outage warning signal interrupt process, which is this routine, is erroneously started due to noise or the like, and the noise is generated for a period of 2 microseconds or more, and the judgment in step S1302 is passed, step If it is determined in S1312 that the input of the power failure warning signal is canceled without being continued in the infinite loop, the CPU of the peripheral control IC is reset because the WDT clearing process of step S1314 is not executed. Such noise can be dealt with by automatically resetting.

[Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 1310 (especially the main control MPU 1310a) will be described. FIG. 225 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the special symbol and special electric accessary product control process (step S114).

Now, assuming that the random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S106), as shown in FIG. On the condition that the detection signal is in the ON state (the ball has entered the first starting port 2002) (step S231), the first special random number of the first special symbol is obtained from the random number counter and stored in the RAM. A first start opening passing process such as storing in one special symbol reservation storage area is executed (step S232). Also, on the condition that the detection signal by the second starting port sensor 2401 is in the ON state (there is a ball entering the second starting port 2004) (step S233), the second special random number of the second special symbol is the random number A second start opening passing process such as acquiring from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol reservation storage area of the RAM is executed (step S234).

Next, it is determined whether or not a big win execution flag indicating that the big win game state is being controlled is set (step S235), and if the big win execution flag is set, the big win game state is controlled. A jackpot control process (step S235A) is executed. In addition, in the big hit control process, when the result of the lottery process for the display mode of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) when the variable display is stopped becomes a mode suggesting "15R big hit", 15R A process of opening and closing the big winning opening 2005 is executed according to the big winning game state. Further, when the state of suggesting "5R big win" is reached, processing for controlling the opening and closing of the big winning opening 2005 is executed according to the 5R big win gaming state, and when the state of suggesting "2R big win" is brought about, A process for controlling the opening and closing of the big winning opening 2005 is executed according to the 2R big winning game state.

In addition, in the jackpot control process (step S235A), after the opening control of the big winning opening 2005 is performed, each setting process of the time saving flag and the time saving number counter is executed. The time saving flag is a flag indicating the time saving state, and the 2R jackpot game based on the fact that the result of the lottery process at the time when the fluctuation of the first special symbol is stopped during the time saving state has become a mode suggesting "2R jackpot". Set when ending the state, when ending the 5R jackpot game state based on the mode suggesting the ``5R jackpot'', when ending the 15R jackpot game state during the time saving state and the non-time saving state. . Then, the time saving flag is the first special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. Reset by processing.

In addition, the time saving number counter is a counter indicating the remaining number of variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol and second special symbol) as the number of times of continuation of the time saving state, and is controlled to the time saving state after the end of the jackpot game state. In that case, when the big hit game state is terminated, the number of continuations of the time saving state is set. The time saving frequency counter is counted down every time the variable display of the special pattern is executed until the counter value becomes '0', but the next big hit occurs before the counter value becomes '0'. Sometimes, it is reset by the first special symbol stop processing shown in FIG. 236 to be described later or the second special symbol stop processing (not shown) (the counter value is returned to "0").

Also, if the jackpot execution flag is not set, on the condition that the value of the second special reservation number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol reservation storage area is "0" (Step S237), execute the first special symbol process processing including the lottery processing related to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped (step S238), the second stored in the second special symbol reservation storage area On the condition that the value of the second special reserved number counter indicating the number of special random numbers is not "0" (step S237), the second special design including the lottery process related to the display mode when the fluctuation display of the second special design is stopped Process processing is executed (step S239). Thus, in this example, when the value of the second special reservation number counter is not "0", the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

FIG. 226 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first starting opening passing process (step S232).

Now, in the processing of step S231, if it is determined that the first starting hole sensor 3002 is in the ON state and a game ball has entered the first starting hole 2002, as shown in FIG. Then, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first acquires the first special random number, reach random number, first symbol random number, and fluctuation random number from the random number counter as the process of step S241.

Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 acquires the counter value by the first special reservation number counter indicating the number of first special random numbers stored in the first special symbol reservation storage area from the main control built-in RAM, and this Based on the counter value, it is determined whether or not the first reserved storage number is the maximum value (upper limit) of "4" (step S242). In the process of step S242, if it is determined that the first pending memory number is not the maximum value, the following steps S243 to the following steps S243 to newly suspend the variable display control of the first special symbol. The processing of S245 is to be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S243, the first special reservation number counter is counted up (1 is added). Next, as the process of step S244, each random number obtained in step S241 is stored in the first special symbol reservation storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special reservation number counter of the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. store in

In addition, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 is based on the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the fluctuation random number acquired in step S241, the display result of the variation display of the first special symbol. is a big hit, the type of the big hit if it is a big hit, and if it is not a big hit, whether the ready-to-win effect is executed as the game effect executed by the effect display device 1600, or the mode type of the game effect to be executed ( Variation pattern type) and other advance determination information are executed before the start of the variable display corresponding to the start winning (step S245), and then the process is terminated.

However, in the processing of step S242, when it is determined that the first reserved memory number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly reserved. That is, by ending the process without executing the process of step S243 to step S245, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly suspended.

In addition, when the number of the first reservation memory changes based on the game ball entering the first start port 2002, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the first special reservation number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is changed to the first reservation memory. In addition to updating to correspond to the number, a command (first reservation number designation command 0 to 4 (special symbol 1 storage command 0 to 4)) is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 . In addition, the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the first reserved memory number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the first reserved number designation command 0-4 (special symbol 1 memory command 0-4). It's like

FIG. 227 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the effect preliminary determination process (step S245). When the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 starts the effect pre-determination process, the pre-determination table (not shown) and the random number obtained in the above step S241, specifically the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, the fluctuation By comparing with the random number, it is determined whether or not a big win will occur, if a big win will occur, the type of the big win will occur, and if a big win will not occur, a ready-to-win performance will be executed as a game performance executed by a performance display device 1600.例文帳に追加The mode type of the game presentation is specified (step S261).

Then, the specified advance determination information (whether or not it will be a big hit, if it will be a big hit, the type of the big hit, if it will not be a big hit, whether to execute a ready-to-win production as a game production executed by the production display device 1600 Aspect type of game production to be played), type of special random number obtained (first special random number), and reserved memory number (value of reserved number counter) stored corresponding to the obtained special random number Set the pre-determination command. For example, in the effect pre-determination process related to the first special symbol executed in step S245 of the first starting port passage process, the specified pre-determination information, the acquisition of the first special random number, and the first pending memory number (the One special reservation number counter value) and set the first special symbol pre-determination command according to (step S262).

Then, by transmitting the pre-determination command from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 in the peripheral control board command transmission process (step S120), it is stored corresponding to the first start opening 2002 where the start winning has occurred. In addition to the number of pending memories, whether or not the display result of the variable display of the special symbol based on the generated start winning is a big win, the type of big win if it is a big win, and the effect display device 1600 if it is not a big win. Preliminary determination information such as whether the ready-to-win effect is executed as the game effect to be executed or the mode type of the game effect to be executed is performed by peripheral control mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 before starting the variable display according to the start winning. You will be able to understand the IC.

When the peripheral control IC mounted on the peripheral control board 1510 receives the pre-determination command from the main control board 1310, it stores the pre-determination information indicated by the received pre-determination command. Specifically, the RAM of the peripheral control IC is provided with a first reservation storage area for storing pre-determination information regarding the variable display of the first special symbol.

The first reserved storage area has 1 to 4 storage areas corresponding to the number of reserved memories. Store in order from the area. Then, when the advance judgment command is received when the advance judgment information is stored in the nth (n=1 to 3) storage area, the advance judgment information notified to the (n+1)th storage area (n=1 to 3). is stored in the first storage area of the first reserved storage area according to the first variation pattern command received when the first variation pattern command for notifying the start of the variation display of the first special symbol is received. Discard the determination information and move the advance determination information stored in the Nth (N=2 to 4) storage area to the N-1th (N=2 to 4) storage area (to the reserved storage area). shift the stored pre-determined information). As a result, the pre-determination information of the first special symbol is stored so as to specify the order in which the suspension of the start of the variable display has occurred, and is discarded in order from the earliest pre-determination information.

When the variable display control is placed in a suspended state in this way, even though the variable display control is maintained in an unexecuted state (suspended state), the degree of expectation for the big hit (pseudo winning probability) of the variable display control ) can be announced in advance at a predetermined timing, such as when the pending display is newly output or when the pending display is shifted according to the completion of the pending display. .

FIG. 228 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the second starting opening passing process (step S234).

Now, in the process of step S233, if it is determined that the second starting hole sensor 2401 is in the ON state and the game ball has entered the second starting hole 2004, as shown in FIG. Then, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first acquires the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number from the random number counter as the process of step S251.

Next, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 acquires the counter value of the second special reservation number counter from the main control built-in RAM, and based on this counter value, the second reservation storage number is set to its maximum value (upper limit value ) is "1" (step S252). In the processing of this step S252, when it is determined that the second pending memory number is not the maximum value, the following steps S253- The process of S254 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S253, the second special reservation number counter is counted up (1 is added). Next, as the process of step S254, each random number obtained in step S251 is stored in the second special symbol reservation storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special reservation number counter of the storage area of the main control built-in RAM. store in

However, in the process of step S252, when it is determined that the second reserved memory number is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly reserved. That is, by ending the processing without executing the processing of steps S253 to S254, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly suspended.

In addition, when the second reservation memory number changes based on the game ball entering the second start port 2004, the lighting state of the two LEDs of the second special reservation number indicator in the function display unit 1400 is changed to the second reservation memory. While updating to correspond to the number, in the peripheral control board command transmission process (step S120), a command (second reservation number designation command 0 to 1 (special symbol 2 storage command 0 to 1)) is set and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 . In addition, the peripheral control IC of the peripheral control board 1510 displays the second reserved memory number on the effect display device 1600 based on the reception of the second reserved number designation command 0-1 (special symbol 2 memory command 0-1). It's like

Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the upper limit of the number of first reserved memories based on the entry of the game ball into the first start port 2002 is set to "4", while the game ball enters the second start port 2004. The upper limit of the number of second reserved memories based on entering the ball is set to "1". In addition, the second starting port 2004 allows a large number of game balls to enter during the time saving state, and the second special symbol variation time is shortened compared to the normal state. Even if the upper limit is set to "1", the period in which the second special symbol is not displayed for a long period of time, or the period in which the second reserved memory number is the upper limit continues for a long time, so that the second start port 2004 Even if a game ball enters the game ball, it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by not being able to obtain the chance of a big winning lottery.

FIG. 229 is a flow chart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process (step S238). In addition, the first special symbol process processing executed in step S238 of the special symbol process processing and the second special symbol process processing executed in step S239 of the special symbol process processing are similar program modules, and the random number used for determination And only the table is different, here only the first special symbol process processing executed in step S238 of the special symbol process processing will be described. In the first special symbol process, one of the following five processes is selectively executed according to the above-described first special symbol process flag.

1. The first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a is read, and based on the read first special random number, the lottery process for the display mode at the time of stopping the fluctuation control of the first special symbol is performed. Design normal processing (step S280)
2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S281 )
3. Variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 based on the variable random number, and variation mode of the effect display executed corresponding to the special symbol on the effect display device 1600. First variation pattern setting process (step S282) in which lottery process etc. are performed for
4. First special symbol variation processing (step S283) to wait until the variation display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 is stopped.
5. Regarding the display mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped, the mode when the variation control of the first special symbol is stopped determined based on the result of the lottery process is displayed on the first special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400. First special symbol stop processing (step S284) to stop the variable display of the first special symbol so that

The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal process (step S280) should be performed in the main control side power-on process (see FIG. 210).

FIG. 230 is a flow chart showing the procedure for the first special symbol normal process (step S280).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal process should be performed, as shown in FIG. As the process of 2, it is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the pending state based on the counter value of the first special pending number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the pending state, then as the process of step S302, it is stored in the first special symbol pending storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 1310a. Random numbers (for example, first special random numbers, first pattern random numbers, reach random numbers, variable random numbers) related to the display mode of the first special symbol that is stored in the first storage area out of the random numbers are read out from the RAM. . And next, as the processing of steps S303 and S304, the first special reserved number counter is counted down, and the first A random number (first special random number, first symbol random number, reach random number, variable random number) related to the display mode when the variable display of special symbols is stopped is shifted in a first-in first-out mode.

Specifically, the first special symbol reservation storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and stores the random numbers extracted according to the occurrence of the start winning in order from the first (first) area. Then, when the random number is stored in the n-th (n=1 to 3) storage area and a start winning occurs, the extracted random number is stored in the n+1-th (n=1 to 3) storage area, and the first When the conditions for starting the variable display based on the random numbers stored in the storage area are satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read and stored in the Nth (N=2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the N-1th (N=2 to 4)th storage area. As a result, the order in which the suspension of the variable display control of the first special symbol occurs is memorized so that it can be specified, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the earliest suspension). become.

After that, as the process of step S305, a hit determination process, which is a lottery process for the hit/loss of the big hit, is performed based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol. After that, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated (step S306) so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S281), this process is terminated.

FIG. 231 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the hit determination process (step S305).

The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 includes the hit determination table shown in FIG. When the second special symbol normal process is executed, it is compared with the second special random number read out in the second special symbol normal process (step S311).

The hit determination table shown in FIG. 232 (A) is for each type of special random number (first special random number, second special random number), when the gaming state is low probability (normal state (low probability non-time saving state) and time saving state ( A low-probability jackpot determination table used in a low-probability time-saving state)) and a high-probability jackpot determination table used in a high-probability game state (high-probability time-saving state) are provided. . Then, in the hit determination table at the time of low probability referred to for comparison with the first special random number, 1/319 when the setting value is 1, 1/309 when the setting value is 2, and the setting value is 3 1/299 if the set value is 4, 1/289 if the set value is 4, 1/279 if the set value is 5, and 1/269 if the set value is 6. The first special random number coincides with the big hit determination value indicating that the small win was won with a probability of 3/319, and the other first special random numbers are the above-mentioned losers. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the loss determination value indicating that there is. Also, in this example, in the second special symbol process processing, in the hit determination table at the time of low probability referred to for comparison with the second special random number, when the setting value is 1, 1/319, with the setting value 2 1/309 if set value 3, 1/299 if set value 3, 1/289 if set value 4, 1/279 if set value 5, 1/269 if set value 6 The second special random number matches the jackpot judgment value indicating that the second special random number has won the jackpot with a jackpot probability, and the second special random number matches the small hit judgment value that indicates that the second special random number has won the jackpot with a small hit probability of 144/319. The second special random numbers are associated with each other such that the second special random numbers coincide with the loss determination value indicating that the other second special random numbers are lost. That is, the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number has a higher probability of being determined as a small hit than the hit determination table referred to for comparison with the first special random number. and when the variable display of the second special symbol based on the starting winning to the second starting opening 2004 is executed than when the variable display of the first special symbol based on the starting winning to the first starting opening 2002 is executed is more advantageous to the player. In addition, the high-probability win determination table is constructed such that the jackpot probability for each set value is ten times higher than that of the low-probability win determination table.

The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 includes the hit determination table and the special random number (the first special random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal process, or the second special As a result of comparison with a random number), when it is determined to be a big win (step S312), a big win flag indicating that the variation wins a big win is set (step S313), and the win determination process is terminated.

Also, as a result of comparison between the selected hit determination table and the special random number (the first special random number read out in step S302 of the first special symbol normal process, or the second special random number read out in the second special symbol normal process), When it is determined to be a small hit (step S314), a small hit flag indicating that the variation has been won as a small hit is set (step S315), and the hit determination process is terminated.

On the other hand, if neither the big win nor the small win is won, that is, if it is determined to be a loss, the reach determination table and the reach random number read in step S302 are compared (step S316).

The reach determination table (not shown) is stored in the main control built-in ROM, and is used when the game state is a time saving state. and a reach determination table at the time of state. Then, in the reach determination table during the time saving state, the reach determination value indicating that one type of reach random number will reach, and the reach determination value indicating that 71 types of reach random numbers will not reach. A random number is associated with each.

In addition, in the reach determination table in the non-time-saving state, five types of reach random numbers including the same reach random number as the reach random number set in the reach determination table in the time-saving state match the reach determination value indicating that the reach is reached, The reach random numbers are associated with each of the 67 types of reach random numbers so as to match the reach determination value indicating that the reach is not reached. Thus, in this embodiment, in the non-time saving state, the reach determination value indicating reaching is increased more than in the time saving state.

The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 compares the selected reach determination table with the reach random number read in step S302 (step S316). A reach flag is set to indicate reach, and the process ends (step S318).

FIG. 233 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S281).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 233, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 first The result of the lottery process of the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped, that is, the result of the hit determination process (step S305) is determined. The result of the lottery process is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S321) or whether or not the small hit flag is set (step S324).

If the big hit flag is set in step S321, the main control MPU 1310a compares the first symbol random number read out in step S302 of the first special symbol normal process with the big hit symbol determination table shown in FIG. 232(B). to determine the type of jackpot, and determine the mode (stopped pattern of the first special pattern) of the first special pattern corresponding to the decided type of jackpot when the variation control is stopped (step S322).

in particular,
1. After the big winning hole 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening/closing pattern is repeated 15 times. (15 rounds) By repeating (15 rounds), the game ball is controlled to enter the big winning hole 2005 (easily) in a 15R jackpot game state, and after the jackpot game state ends, special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are generated. 2. A 15R probability variable jackpot that shortens the execution period of the variable display more than usual until the variable display is executed 77 times and controls to a high-probability time-saving state in which special lottery results are drawn with a higher probability than usual. After the big winning hole 2005 is open for a long time (for example, 29 seconds), or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening/closing pattern is repeated five times ( 5 rounds) By repeating this, the game ball is controlled to a 5R jackpot game state in which it is possible (easily) to enter the jackpot 2005, and after the jackpot game state ends, the special patterns (first special pattern, second special pattern) change. 5R short-time jackpot that shortens the execution period of the variable display than usual until the display is executed 77 times,
3. After the big winning hole 2005 is open for a long time (for example, 29 seconds), or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening and closing pattern is repeated twice ( 2 rounds) By repeating this, the game ball is controlled to the 2R big win game state in which it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning hole 2005, and if it is controlled to the time saving state before the start of the 2R big win game state, the big win game state ends. After that, control is made to a time-saving state in which the game is terminated unless a big hit occurs before the variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times, and non-starting before the start of the 2R big win game state. A 2R jackpot controlled to a normal state after the jackpot game state ends if controlled to a time-saving state;
One of the three types of jackpots is determined.

Also, if the big hit flag is set in the second special symbol stop symbol setting process, the second symbol random number read out in the second special symbol normal process and the big hit symbol determination table shown in FIG. 232(B) are compared. to determine the type of the big hit, and determine the mode (stop design of the second special design) when the variation control of the second special design corresponding to the determined type of the big hit is stopped.
in particular,
1. After the big winning hole 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening/closing pattern is repeated 15 times. (15 rounds) By repeating (15 rounds), the game ball is controlled to enter the big winning hole 2005 (easily) in a 15R jackpot game state, and after the jackpot game state ends, special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are generated. 2. A 15R probability variable jackpot that shortens the execution period of the variable display more than usual until the variable display is executed 77 times and controls to a high-probability time-saving state in which special lottery results are drawn with a higher probability than usual. After the big winning hole 2005 is open for a long time (for example, 29 seconds), or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening/closing pattern is repeated five times ( 5 rounds) By repeating this, the game ball is controlled to a 5R jackpot game state in which it is possible (easily) to enter the jackpot 2005, and after the jackpot game state ends, the special patterns (first special pattern, second special pattern) change. 5R short-time jackpot that shortens the execution period of the variable display than usual until the display is executed 77 times,
3. After the big winning hole 2005 is open for a long time (for example, 29 seconds), or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening and closing pattern is repeated twice ( 2 rounds) By repeating this, the game ball is controlled to the 2R big win game state in which it is possible (easy) to enter the big winning hole 2005, and if it is controlled to the time saving state before the start of the 2R big win game state, the big win game state ends. After that, control is made to a time-saving state in which the game is terminated unless a big hit occurs before the variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times, and non-starting before the start of the 2R big win game state. A 2R jackpot controlled to a normal state after the jackpot game state ends if controlled to a time-saving state;
One of the three types of jackpots is determined.

In addition, in the big hit pattern determination table compared with the first pattern random number, 8 decision values are distributed when the 15R probability variable jackpot is obtained, and 100 decision values are distributed when the 5R time-saving jackpot is obtained, and the 2R jackpot is distributed. 92 judgment values are distributed when That is, when a lottery result of a big win is obtained by lottery based on the first special random number, a 15R big win has a probability of 4%, a 5R big win has a probability of 50%, and a 2R big win has a probability of 46%. Similarly, in the big hit symbol determination table compared with the second random number, 92 determination values are distributed in the case of a 15R probability variable jackpot, 100 determination values are distributed in the case of a 5R time-saving jackpot, and 2R. Eight determination values are distributed when a big hit is achieved. That is, when a lottery result of a big win is obtained by a lottery based on the second special random number, the probability of the 15R variable jackpot is 46%, the jackpot of the 5R is 50%, and the jackpot of 2R is 4%. . Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the probability that the jackpot pattern determination table compared with the second pattern random number is determined to be a 15R probability variable jackpot is higher than the jackpot pattern determination table compared with the first symbol random number. When the variable display of the second special symbol based on the start winning to the second starting port 2004 is executed rather than the variable display of the first special symbol based on the starting winning to the first starting port 2002 The state is advantageous to the player.

Further, when the type of the big win is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of the big win is determined as the aspect of the first special symbol when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when the 2R big win is determined, the 2R big win pattern is determined as the big win pattern, when the 5R big win is determined, the 5R big win pattern is determined as the big win pattern, and when the 15R big win is determined, the big win is determined. A 15R jackpot pattern is determined as the pattern.

In addition, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, when the big hit flag is not set in step S131, if the small hit flag is set (step S324), read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal process The type of the small hit is determined by comparing the first symbol random number and the small winning symbol determination table shown in FIG. mode (stop symbol of the first special symbol) is determined (step S325).

in particular,
1. The opening and closing pattern in which the accessory winning opening 200 is opened for a short time (for example, 80 ms) and then closed is executed twice to control the game ball to enter the accessory winning opening 200 (easily) in a small winning game state. When the game ball received in the item winning opening 2006 is distributed to the V winning opening 2007 and detected by the V winning opening sensor 3003, the big winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time. After (for example, 29 seconds) or when it is detected by the big winning hole sensor 2402 that 10 game balls have entered the big winning hole 2005, the opening/closing pattern for closing is repeated 14 times so that the game ball wins a big prize. Control to the 15R jackpot game state in which the ball can be entered (easy) into the mouth 2005, and after the jackpot game state ends, the fluctuation display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed 77 times. 2. The first sub-win which shortens the display execution period than usual and controls to a high-probability time-saving state in which the special lottery results are drawn with a higher probability than usual. The opening and closing pattern in which the accessory winning opening 200 is opened for a short time (for example, 80 ms) and then closed is executed twice to control the game ball to enter the accessory winning opening 200 (easily) in a small winning game state. After the game ball accepted in the object winning opening 2006 is distributed to the V winning opening 2007 and detected by the V winning opening sensor 3003, the large winning opening 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds), or the large winning opening 2005 is opened. 14 times the opening and closing pattern of closing when 10 game balls are detected by the big winning hole sensor 2402, so that the game ball can enter the big winning hole 2005 (easy) 15R jackpot. If it is controlled to the game state and is controlled to the time saving state before the start of the 15R jackpot game state, the variable display of the special pattern (first special pattern, second special pattern) is executed 77 times after the jackpot game state is finished. If no big win is achieved during this period, control is made to a time-saving state to end, and if controlled to a non-time-saving state before the start of the 15R big win game state, the second small win is controlled to a normal state after the big win game state is finished. One of the two types of small hits is determined.

In addition, 200 determination values are distributed in the small hit design determination table compared with the first design random number in the case of the first small hit. That is, when a lottery result of a small win is obtained by lottery based on the first special random number, the first small win is obtained with a probability of 100%, and the second small win is not won. On the other hand, in the small hit symbol determination table compared with the second random number, 20 judgment values are distributed when the first small prize is obtained, and 180 judgment values are distributed when the second small prize is obtained. ing. That is, when a lottery result of a small win is obtained by lottery based on the second special random number, the first small win is obtained with a probability of 10%, and the second small prize is obtained with a probability of 90%.

Further, when the type of the small win is determined, the stop pattern corresponding to the type of the small win is determined as the mode of the stop of the first special symbol. Specifically, when the first small winning pattern is determined, the first small winning pattern is determined as the small winning pattern, and when the second small winning pattern is determined, the second small winning pattern is determined as the small winning pattern. .

The main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310, when neither the big-hit flag nor the small-hit flag is set, determines the winning pattern (step S327). Then, after the determination process for the stop symbol is performed in this way, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 performs the process of step S328, as the process of step S328. (It may be one that instructs the mode of the stop symbol of the first special symbol)) is transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510. Set the determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result (step S328 ). And after that, as the process of step S329, this process ends when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S282).

The peripheral control unit 1511 controls the display of the effect display device 1600 based on the received determination result notification command and the variation pattern command (left, middle, and right decorative symbols are variably displayed, and left decorative design → right decorative design → middle Stop and display in the order of the decorative patterns (the left, middle and right decorative patterns may be synchronously displayed with the same pattern and stopped and displayed at the same time)). Specifically, when the peripheral control unit 1511 specifies a small hit or a 2R big hit from the received determination result notification command as a mode (stop pattern) when the variation of the decorative pattern displayed on the effect display device 1600 is stopped. is determined to be a small hit pattern ("Final Battle"), and if the 5R short-time jackpot is specified, the 5R short-time jackpot pattern (left, middle, and right decorative patterns are the same among the patterns "0" to "9" If the 15R probability variation jackpot is specified, the 15R probability variation jackpot pattern (the left, middle, and right decorative patterns are the same odd number pattern among the patterns "0" to "9"). combination). In addition, when the reach loss is specified, the lost pattern with the reach (the left and right decorative patterns are a combination of the same patterns "0" to "9" and the middle decorative patterns are different; the reach loss If it is determined to be a design), and if a loss is specified, it is determined to be a design that does not involve reach (a combination in which at least the left, middle, and right decorative patterns are different patterns), and fluctuation When the fluctuation time specified from the pattern command has passed (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop pattern is displayed on the effect display device 1600 and controlled.

In addition, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, it is possible to control the time saving state until the variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed up to 77 times after the jackpot game state, but the time saving state The time saving state may be ended based on the fact that a predetermined number of big hits have occurred after the shift control is performed to the state. Specifically, after the jackpot game state, control is performed to the time saving state, and when a predetermined number of (for example, two) jackpots occur after that, control is not performed to the time saving state after the predetermined number of times of the jackpot game state is completed. , may be controlled to a normal state. Also, even if the number of occurrences of big wins is less than a predetermined number, control may be performed to the non-time-saving state during the big-win game state, and control of the time-saving state may be performed again after the big win game state.

FIG. 234 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S282).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 sets the big hit flag as shown in FIG. If so (step S341), select a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of big hit according to the type of big hit determined in step S323 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S342), and select a small hit flag. is set (step S343), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of the small hit corresponding to the type of the small hit determined in step S325 of the first special symbol stop design setting process is selected (step S344). , If the reach flag is set (step S345), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of reach is selected (step S346), and if neither the big hit flag nor the reach flag is set, that is, normal In the case of a loss (a loss in which the ready-to-win effect is not executed), a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of loss is selected (step S347).

Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table and the variation random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal process (step S348), and the determined variation pattern is started. A variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 1510 is set to start the variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 (step S349). In addition, the main control MPU 1310a sets the variation time set corresponding to the determined variation pattern to the variation timer (step S350). As a result, the effect control is performed by the first special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400 and the effect display device 1600 only for the fluctuation time thus determined.

In addition, the variation pattern table of this example is provided with a plurality of types for each determination result based on special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) and symbol random numbers (first symbol random number, second symbol random number). In addition, the variation pattern set in each variation pattern table includes a plurality of variation time information indicating a predetermined time (variation time) required for variation display control of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). It is stored in such a way that it is associated with each variable random number. Thus, the main control MPU 1310a, among the plurality of types of variation pattern table according to the determination result based on the special random number and symbol random number, the selected variation pattern table and the variation random number read in step S302 of the first special symbol normal process is compared, and the variation time information associated with the read-out variation random number is obtained from this table to determine the variation pattern of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol). As a result, the lottery process for the variation pattern of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is performed. The variation pattern table is stored in the ROM of the main control MPU 1310a.

In addition, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time of reach in this example, it is set so as to determine the mode type of reach effect to be executed by comparing the determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed and the fluctuation random number. . For example, in the super ready-to-win performance among the ready-to-win performances, the degree of expectation for the big win is higher than that in the normal ready-to-win performance, and when the super ready-to-win performance is executed, the player's expectation for the big winning game state is increased.

Further, when the variable display control of the first special symbol is started, as the processing of step S351, it is determined whether or not the counter value of the time saving number counter in which the number of times the time saving state continues is set is "0". do. Then, if this counter value is not "0", after counting down the time saving number counter (step S352), it is further determined whether or not the counter value of the simultaneous short number counter is "0" (step S353). . As a result, if the counter value is "0", a time saving end flag indicating that the control of the time saving state (time saving control) ends is set (step S354).

When it is determined that the counter value of the time saving number counter is "0" in the process of step S351, when it is determined that the time saving number counter is not "0" in the process of step S353, at that point , the process proceeds to step S355. Then, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol variation process (step S283), this process is terminated.

In this example, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time of loss, while the fluctuation time information of the special symbol set to about 1 second during the time saving state is associated with the special symbol random number (first special symbol, second special symbol), A special pattern variation pattern is set in such a manner that the special pattern variation time information set to about 12 seconds in a non-working time state is associated with the special pattern random number (first special pattern, second special pattern). . That is, in the variation pattern at the time of loss selected during the time saving state, compared to the variation pattern at the time of loss selected in the non-time saving state, so that the time required for the variable display control of the special symbol is extremely short, Fluctuation time information of the above special design is set.

FIG. 235 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S283).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process should be performed, as shown in FIG. As the process of (1), 1 is subtracted from the variable timer in which the variable time corresponding to the variable pattern determined in the lottery process (step S282) for the variable pattern is set. When it is determined that the variable time timer is 0, that is, the selected variable time has elapsed (step S372), the process proceeds to step S373. That is, in the process of this step S373, this process is terminated when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so as to shift to the first special symbol stop process (step S284).

FIG. 236 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop process (step S284).

When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, as shown in FIG. As the process of , display control is performed to display the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting process on the first special symbol display device of the function display unit 1400, and the effect display device 1600 A stop display command for instructing derivation display of the display result of the decorative design corresponding to the stop design of the first special design is set as a command to the peripheral control board 1510 (step S382).

Next, when the time saving end flag is set (step S383), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 resets the time saving end flag (step S384) and resets the time saving flag (step S385). Thereby, when the variable display of a predetermined number of times (in this example, 77 times) of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) is executed, the time saving control (control of the time saving state) is terminated and the non-time saving control is performed. (Normal state control) will start.

Further, when the big hit flag is set (step S386), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 sets a big win start command indicating to start the big win game (step S387), and starts the big win game. The waiting time until the start (the time for displaying the start of the jackpot game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S388). Although not shown, in step S388, a process of setting the number of rounds corresponding to the type of jackpot to a jackpot number counter indicating the number of remaining rounds is also executed. The jackpot number counter is decremented by 1 each time a round is executed in the jackpot control process to be described later, and when the jackpot number counter becomes "0", the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 determines that the specified number of rounds has been executed. to end the jackpot game. Specifically, in the big win control process described later, the big win opening pre-opening process (step S401) and the big winning mouth opening process (step S402) are repeatedly executed until the big win number counter reaches "0", and the big win is performed. When the round is ended in the mouth opening process (step S402), when the big win frequency counter is subtracted by 1 and becomes "0", the process shifts to the big winning mouth post-opening process (step S403) and ends the big win game. Execute control that causes

Then, a jackpot in-execution flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed is set (step S389). Incidentally, the jackpot start command is a command to be transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the type of jackpot. In step S387, a jackpot start command (15R probability variable jackpot start command, 5R time-short jackpot start command, 2R jackpot start command) corresponding to the type of jackpot (15R probability variable jackpot, 5R time-short jackpot, 2R jackpot) is set. As a result, the effect of the big win game corresponding to the kind of the big win instructed by the big win start command is executed by the effect display device 1600, the lamp/LED, the speaker, and the like. In addition, in the second special symbol stop processing of the second special symbol process processing, similarly, the jackpot start command (15R probability variation jackpot start command, 5R timing short jackpot) corresponding to the type of jackpot (15R probability variation jackpot, 5R time short jackpot, 2R jackpot) Start command, 2R jackpot start command) are set.

In addition, when the jackpot in-execution flag indicating that the jackpot game is being executed, when the jackpot game is ended, specifically, the jackpot is executed in the jackpot control processing (step S235A) after the jackpot opening (step S403). Opening and closing control of the big winning hole 2005 according to the type (for example, after the big winning hole 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds), or when 10 game balls have won the big winning hole 2005, the big winning hole sensor 2402 It is reset when the opening/closing control that repeats the opening/closing pattern that is closed when detected twice, five times, or fifteen times) is completed (all rounds that can be executed in the jackpot game). While the big hit control process (step S235A) is not executed in step S235 of the special symbol and special electric auditors product control process (step S114) by resetting the jackpot executing flag, the first function display unit 1400 The variable display of the first special symbol on the special symbol display and the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 can be executed.

Further, when the big hit flag is not set (step S386), if the small hit flag is set (step S390), the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 indicates to start the small hit game. A small-hit start command is set (step S391), and the waiting time until the start of the small-hit game (time for displaying the start of the small-hit game, etc.) is set in the interval timer (step S392). Then, a small-hit running flag indicating that the small-hit game is being executed is set (step S393). In addition, the small hit start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510, and is individually prepared according to the kind of the small hit. In step S391, a small hit start command (first small hit start command, second small hit start command) corresponding to the kind of small hit (first small hit, second small hit) is set. As a result, the effect of the small-hit game corresponding to the kind of the small-hit instructed by the small-hit start command is executed by the production display device 1600, the lamp/LED, the speaker, and the like. In addition, in the second special symbol stop processing of the second special symbol process processing, similarly, the small hit start command (first small hit start command, second Second small hit start command) is set.

In addition, when the small hit running flag indicating that the small hit game is being executed, when the small hit game is ended, specifically, the small hit middle process (step S411) of the small hit control process (step S236A) described later ), when the opening/closing control of the role prize winning port 200 corresponding to the type of the small win (for example, the opening and closing pattern in which the role prize winning port 200 is opened for a short time (for example, 80 ms) and then closed is repeated twice) is completed. reset. By resetting the small hit executing flag, the small hit control process (step S236A) is not executed in step S236 of the special symbol and special electric auditors control process (step S114), while the function display unit 1400 The variable display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display and the variable display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display of the function display unit 1400 can be executed.

In addition, when the small hit flag is not set, that is, when it becomes a loss, the waiting time (the time during which the special symbol stop symbol is displayed) until the next special symbol variable display is started is set in the interval timer. (Step S394), the process proceeds to step S395.

When the processing of steps S386 to S394 is executed, the main control MPU 1310a of the main control board 1310 updates the first special symbol process flag so that the process is shifted to the first special symbol normal process, which is the initial value. (step S395), and the process ends.

FIG. 237 is a flow chart showing the procedure of the big hit control process (step S235A). In the jackpot control process, one of the following three processes is selectively executed according to the jackpot process flag.

1. The above-mentioned peripheral control board notifies the player that the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) are shifted to the above-mentioned jackpot game state based on the fact that the mode at the time of stopping the variable display of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol) has become a big hit symbol. 1510 or waits until the next round is started pre-opening large winning a prize opening pre-processing (step S401)
2. The large prize winning port 2005 is controlled to be opened based on the fact that the mode of the stop of the variable display of the special symbols becomes a big win pattern, or the big prize winning port 2005 is opened to the state based on the start of the next round. After the big winning hole 2005 is opened for a long time (for example, 29 seconds) or when the big winning hole sensor 2402 detects that 10 game balls have won the big winning hole 2005, the big winning hole is closed. Open process (step S402)
3. After all rounds are completed, the player is waited until the peripheral control board 1510 notifies the player that the jackpot gaming state is completed (step S403).

The big win process flag is operated in the process of step S42 so as to indicate that the big winning hole pre-opening process (step S401) should be performed. In addition, in the process during the opening of the big winning prize gate (step S402), at the start of the round for controlling the opening of the big winning prize gate 2005, a big winning round start command corresponding to the number of rounds is set, and the big winning prize gate 2005 is closed. At the end of the round controlled by the state, a jackpot round end command corresponding to the number of rounds is set. The jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command are commands sent to the peripheral control board 1510, and the jackpot game effect corresponding to the number of rounds indicated by the jackpot round start command and the jackpot round end command is displayed. It is implemented by the device 1600, lamps, LEDs, speakers, and the like.

[Rainbow effect]
Next, a description will be given of the rainbow color effect that is executed when the probability of a big win is high (for example, when a big win is achieved (big win confirmation effect) or when the decorative pattern becomes a ready-to-win game (read-to-win notice). The rainbow effect in this example means that after displaying a predetermined form (pattern, character, letter, etc.) using a plurality of colors on the effect display device 1600, the display color in an arbitrary display area of the effect display device 1600 is changed for a short time. , and in conjunction with the transition of the display color in the effect display device 1600, the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are changed to a plurality of luminescent colors (at least two or more luminescent colors ), and the light emission color is changed in a short time.

It is possible to make it visible as if the light is being emitted, and it is possible to execute an impactful light emission effect. In addition, the display of the effect display device 1600 and the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 are interlocked and controlled, and the effect display device 1600 display in a plurality of colors, LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 and LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 are caused to emit light in a plurality of colors, and further, for a short time By switching the display color and emission color with , you can perform a more impactful effect than usual.

In this example, the display colors of the first display region a to the fifth display region e of the effect display device 1600 and the light emission of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F provided on the door frame 3 The colors and the light emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 are regularly displayed in a predetermined order for each display area or each group. Although those to be changed are shown, they belong to the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600 and the frame light emission group A to frame light emission group F provided on the door frame 3. Any one or any combination of two or more of the light emission color of the LED and the light emission color of the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 (all ) may be changed irregularly, and the rest may be changed regularly.

In addition, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F, and the first board light emission group to the sixth display color The display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600 and the frame light emission groups A to Any one or any combination of two or more of the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame emission group F and the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the first to sixth emission groups (all may be used), a different order (for example, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame light-emitting group A to the frame light-emitting group F are set to "white→yellow→green→blue→purple→red→white→yellow→→...". , and change the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the first to sixth emission groups in the order of "red→purple→blue→green→yellow→white→red→purple→→..." , etc.).

In addition, the display colors of the first display area a to the fifth display area e of the effect display device 1600, the emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F, and the first board light emission group to the sixth display color Any combination of one or more of the LEDs belonging to the board light emission group (may be all) is a combination of a plurality of colors in which at least part of the color is different (for example, frame light emission The LEDs belonging to Group A to Frame Light Emitting Group F are controlled to emit light in any of "white", "yellow", "green", "blue", "purple", and "red". Emission control of the LEDs belonging to the light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group with one of the emission colors of "white", "orange", "yellow green", "blue", "pink", "red" etc.) may be

In addition, the display colors of the first display region a to the fifth display region e of the effect display device 1600, the light emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F provided in the door frame 3, The light emission color of the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 is changed at the same timing (the timing of changing the color is matched). , the timing of changing the display color of the effect display device 1600, the timing of changing the light emission color of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F provided on the door frame 3, and the timing of changing the light emission color of the LEDs provided on the game board 5 Any one or any combination of two or more (or all) of the timing of changing the emission color of the LEDs belonging to the first to sixth emission groups are the same. It may be changed at a timing (for example, after 1 second), and the rest may be changed at a different timing (for example, every 1.5 seconds).

In addition, the display colors of the first display region a to the fifth display region e of the effect display device 1600, the light emission colors of the LEDs belonging to the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F provided in the door frame 3, The period (predetermined period) from when the light emitting colors of the LEDs belonging to the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 are changed until they are changed again is always constant. You may make it differ not only a thing but a part or all the periods. For example, at odd timings (t1, t3, t5, t7, t9, t11, t99) of timings t2 to t100, the display color and emission color are changed every second, and at even timings (t2, t4, t6, t8, t10) , t98, t100), the display color and the emission color may be changed every two seconds.

In this example, prior to the rainbow effect, the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged horizontally are controlled to emit light. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 241, the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives a variation pattern command from the main control board 1310 and starts a variable effect such as a variable display of decorative symbols in the effect display device 1600. After that, during the period from timing t0 to timing t1 until the execution of the button promotion effect, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged left and right, and the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 is turned off. , and when the button promotion effect is executed at timing t1, the rear upper first decorative part 3211 in which the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged in the left and right direction corresponds to the rainbow color effect. Light emission is controlled according to the light emission mode. In this example, when the button operation prompting effect is started (timing t1 to timing t2), the five 7-segment display units of the rear-upper first decoration unit 3211 are controlled to emit red light, and the rear-upper upper decoration is controlled to emit red light. Light emission is controlled so that the characters "Atsui!"

In addition, during execution of the button operation promotion effect, the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed by the player, or the button valid period (for example, 5 seconds) has passed, the button operation prompting effect is finished, and then the rainbow color effect is started (timing t2), the luminous colors of the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are changed. Until the rainbow effect is completed (timing t2 to timing t100) while maintaining the red emission color, the five 7-segment display portions of the back upper first decorative portion 3211 are displayed from right to left. Chance!” is controlled to flow repeatedly. As described above, in this example, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are controlled to emit red light. In addition, in the rainbow color effect, either the LEDs belonging to the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F or the LEDs belonging to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group Light emission is controlled in red color similar to the five 7-segment display portions of the decorative portion 3211 . Therefore, although the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper first decoration portion 3211 do not change the light emission color, the player can be made to recognize that the light emission control related to the rainbow color effect is being performed. .

In addition, around the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged horizontally, frame light emitting group A to frame light emitting group provided on the door frame 3 LEDs belonging to F (decorative substrates on which LEDs are mounted), LEDs (decorative substrates on which LEDs are mounted) belonging to the 1st board light-emitting group to 6th board light-emitting groups provided on the game board 5, is provided, and when the button operation promotion effect is completed, it is possible to give the impression that the light emitting decoration spreads around the five 7-segment display parts of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 that is decorated with red light. The effect can be enhanced and the amusement of the game can be improved.

In addition, in this example, even after the rainbow effect is completed (timing t100 to timing t101), the light emission control is continued without changing the light emission color of the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211. It has become. Specifically, after the completion of the rainbow effect (timing t100), for example, in response to the occurrence of the reach of the decorative pattern, the five seven-segment display portions of the back rear upper first decoration portion 3211 are displayed from right to left with "reach! ” is controlled to repeatedly flow, or while the reach of the decorative pattern occurs and the reach effect is being executed, the five 7-segment display portions of the first decorative portion 3211 from the right to the left of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 say “Gekiatsu! ” are controlled to flow repeatedly. In addition, in this example, five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are controlled to be turned off based on the stop of the variable display of the decorative pattern. As a result, the player can recognize that the variable effect has ended. After the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 may be controlled to be extinguished when a predetermined period elapses, in this case. When the variable display of the decorative pattern stops, the moving display of the characters in the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 may be stopped. In this case as well, the player can recognize that the variable effect has ended by stopping the moving display of the characters in the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 .

In this way, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are controlled to emit light prior to the rainbow color effect, and the five 7 segments of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are also controlled after the rainbow color effect is completed. Since the segment display portions are continuously controlled to emit light, the light emission control of the five 7-segment display portions of the first rear upper decorative portion 3211 executed in advance can raise expectations for the start of the rainbow color presentation. Even after the rainbow effect is finished, expectations for a big win can be heightened by light emission control of the five 7-segment display portions of the first decoration portion 3211 on the rear upper side of the back.

It should be noted that the light emission control of the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper first decoration portion 3211 is started at least prior to the rainbow color effect, and is continuously executed even after the rainbow color effect ends. It may be started at any timing between the timing t0 at which the variable display of the decorative pattern is started and the timing t2 at which the rainbow effect is started (including the timing t0 at which the light emission control is started). However, it may be ended at any timing (including the stop of light emission control at timing t101) between the timing t100 at which the rainbow effect is ended and the timing t101 at which the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped. In addition, even if the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped, if the variable display of the decorative pattern is started again before the predetermined period elapses, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are extinguished. In this case, when the variable display of the decorative pattern stops, the moving display of the characters in the five 7-segment display portions of the first decorative portion 3211 on the back and upper side is stopped (timing t101 ), when the variable display of the decorative pattern is started, the characters to be displayed in the five seven-segment display portions of the first upper rear decoration portion 3211 are updated, and the five seven-segment display portions of the first upper rear rear decoration portion 3211 are updated. The moving display of the character may be resumed from right to left (timing t0). Even in this case, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of variable display of the decorative pattern by the presence or absence of movement display of the characters in the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper first decoration portion 3211 .

In addition, the mode displayed on the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 during the execution of the rainbow color effect is not limited to the one described above. As a display to supplement the variation effect of the decorative pattern executed in 1600, the pattern is displayed in a variable display mode, or a plurality of LEDs are controlled to blink in a predetermined lighting pattern. (For example, when the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed), the mode corresponding to the special lottery result may be derived, or the pressing operation section 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is operated by the player during the execution of the variable effect. The number of LEDs that are lit when a predetermined increase condition or decrease condition is satisfied may be changed. As a result, the execution of the rainbow color effect makes it difficult to visually recognize the variable display of the decorative patterns, and the fear that the variable display of the decorative patterns is not executed or the special lottery result will not be derived. It is possible to avoid giving Also, the display of the decorative pattern on the effect display device 1600 may be hidden during execution of the rainbow color effect, and in this case as well, the anxiety described above can be avoided.

Also, in the above example, the end of the button operation promotion effect (when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed by the player during execution of the button operation promotion effect, or the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is Although the rainbow effect is started when the button effective period (for example, 5 seconds) passes without being pressed, the predetermined execution condition is not accompanied by the execution of the button operation promotion effect. The execution of the rainbow effect may be started when the condition is established. For example, when the elapsed time after the start of the variable performance or the non-variation performance period in which the variable performance is not executed after the end of the variable performance reaches a predetermined period, the execution of the rainbow color performance is started. good too.

In addition, in this example, when the rainbow effect ends, the decorative pattern is displayed in the ready-to-win state at a high rate (those not in the ready-to-win state (including so-called fake)) (timing t100). Then, when the rainbow effect is completed, the rainbow effect display mode of the effect display device 1600 is extinguished and the ready-to-win effect is executed. and the LEDs belonging to the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3, the light emission control of the rainbow color effect is finished, and the ready-to-win effect displayed on the effect display device 1600 is completed. Light emission is controlled in a corresponding light emission mode.

In this way, in this example, the rainbow effect is performed as a ready-to-win notice executed during the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative symbols to the display of the ready-to-win state. In addition, if the decorative pattern does not become a reach (the decorative pattern may be a big hit without being a reach, or the decorative pattern may be a hit without being a reach), or even if the decorative pattern is a reach The rainbow color performance may be executed at a predetermined ratio even when it does not occur, or the rainbow color performance may be executed (as a big win confirmation performance) only when a big win is guaranteed. Also, the execution timing is not limited to the ready-to-win advance notice, and a rainbow color effect may be performed as a ready-to-win effect executed during the period from when the ready-to-win state of the decorative pattern is displayed until the decorative pattern is stopped and displayed. It may be executed as an effect such as a pre-reading notice before the start of the pattern fluctuation, and regardless of the variable display of the decorative pattern (for example, if the variable display of the decorative pattern is not started over a predetermined period, the customer waiting A rainbow color effect may be executed as a demonstration effect).

Also, as described above, the rainbow effect is executed when the probability of winning a big hit is high, and is an important effect for improving the player's expectation. Therefore, in this example, the LED mounting surface of the decorative substrate on which the LEDs are mounted is characterized so that the colors of the LEDs whose light emission is controlled in the rainbow effect are bright. Specifically, a plurality of decoration substrates mounted with LEDs provided on the game board 5 and controlled to emit light in a rainbow effect, that is, a back front top left decoration substrate 3129 for lighting up the back front top left logo decoration portion 3122 . A back front left decoration substrate 3128 for luminous decoration of the back front left logo decoration portion 3121, the back front left logo decoration portion 3122, and the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, and the back front bottom logo decoration body 3167 are decorated with light emission. a back front bottom logo decoration substrate 3173 for luminous decoration, a back front bottom bottom middle decoration substrate 3168 for luminous decoration of the back front bottom middle decoration 3161, and a back front bottom left decoration 3163 for luminescence decoration. A lower left inner decoration substrate 3169, a back front lower left outer decoration substrate 3170 for luminous decoration of the back front lower left outer decoration 3164, and a back front lower right for luminous decoration of the back front lower right inner decoration 3165. An interior decoration substrate 3171, a back front bottom right exterior decoration substrate 3172 for luminous decoration of the back front bottom right exterior decoration 3166, and a back front bottom right decoration substrate 3152 for luminescence decoration of the back front right logo decoration portion 3141. and a back front top right decoration substrate 3151 for decorating the back front top right logo decoration portion 3142 with light emission. Characters and symbols for avoiding confusion with components and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using an ink with high brightness and saturation (eg, yellow). In other words, the surface of a plurality of decorative substrates mounted with LEDs that are provided on the game board 5 and whose light emission is controlled in a rainbow effect is coated with white solder resist (protective material), which is the color with the highest reflection efficiency. In addition, letters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic components such as LEDs and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using ink with high brightness and saturation (e.g. yellow). ing.

In addition, a plurality of decorative substrates mounted on the door frame 3 and mounted with LEDs whose light emission is controlled in a rainbow effect, that is, a door frame top center decorative substrate 455, a door frame top left decorative substrate 456, and a door frame top right A decoration board 457, a door frame left side upper decoration board 422, a door frame left side lower decoration board 423, a plate left decoration board 273, an effect operation section outer periphery decoration board 320, a button outside decoration board 355, and a button inside. The surfaces of the decoration substrate 364, the door frame right side lower decoration substrate 433, the dish right decoration substrate 278, the door frame right side upper decoration substrate 432, etc. are coated with a white solder resist (protective material). In addition, letters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic components such as LEDs and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using ink with high brightness and saturation (e.g. yellow). ing. In other words, a plurality of decorative substrates mounted on the door frame 3 and mounted with LEDs whose light emission is controlled in a rainbow effect are coated with white solder resist (protective material), which is the color with the highest reflection efficiency. In addition, letters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic components such as LEDs and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using ink with high brightness and saturation (e.g. yellow). ing.

In addition, a rear upper first decoration substrate (illustrated ), the surface is coated with a white solder resist (protective material), and characters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic components such as LEDs and other decorative substrates are added with brightness and color. It is applied by screen-printing using high-concentration colored (eg yellow) ink. However, full-color LEDs are mounted on a plurality of decoration boards provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 and mounted with LEDs that are controlled to emit light in a rainbow color effect, whereas full-color LEDs are mounted on the back, back, and top first decorations. A monochromatic (red in this example) LED is mounted on the substrate. Therefore, even if the LEDs provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 are decorated to emit light and a rainbow color effect is executed, the five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper movable decoration body 3210 do not change the emission color, It only executes an effect of displaying characters, numbers, patterns, etc. on the five 7-segment display units with the same luminescent color (red in this example). In other words, in the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 that displays characters, numbers, patterns, etc., the characters, numbers, and patterns are displayed by not changing the emission color even when the rainbow color effect is executed. Information such as patterns is displayed in a state that is easy for the player to see, and erroneous information is prevented from being conveyed to the player.

In this way, in this example, the LED mounting surface of the decorative board on which the LEDs are mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protective material) to increase the reflection efficiency, so it is possible to emit light in multiple full colors. Even when LEDs are emitted in a wide variety of colors, it is possible to uniformly reflect all the light and produce vivid colors. Logo decoration portion 3121 , back front left top logo decoration portion 3122 , back front left sub decoration portion 3123 , back front bottom logo decoration 3167 , back front bottom middle decoration 3161 , back front bottom left inside decoration 3163 . , back front lower left outer decoration 3164, back front lower right inner decoration 3165, back front lower right outer decoration 3166, back front right logo decoration 3141, back front upper right logo decoration 3142, can be decorated with brighter light emission, and the door frame top unit 450 provided on the door frame 3, the door frame left side unit 420, the door frame left side unit 420, the dish left decorative lens 272, and the door Each of the frame right side unit 430, the plate right decorative lens 277 and the door frame right side unit 430 can be brighter and vividly (clearly) luminous and decorated, and the production effect is enhanced. In addition, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 that emit only a single color (in this example, red) can also be brighter and more vividly illuminated, enhancing the presentation effect.

In addition, letters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic components such as LEDs and other decorative substrates are applied by screen printing using ink with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). As a result, it is possible to bring the reflection efficiency of the white solder resist (protective material) closer to that of the screen-printed characters and symbols, making the reflection efficiency on the substrate surface nearly uniform, resulting in multiple full-color lights. Even when possible LEDs are caused to emit light in a wide variety of colors, all light can be uniformly reflected, and the occurrence of light emission unevenness in light emission decoration is suppressed to enhance the presentation effect. In addition, since the contrast between the white solder resist (protective material) and screen-printed characters and symbols can be reduced, regardless of whether the LED is emitting light or not, when viewed through the lens that covers the decorative substrate, the When the characters and symbols screen-printed on the surface of the decorative substrate become inconspicuous and the player directly looks at the LED mounting surface of the decorative substrate, information irrelevant to the game can be visually recognized to increase the interest in the game. can be suppressed. In addition, in conventional decorative substrates in which characters and symbols are applied by screen printing using ink with low brightness and saturation (dark color) such as black, characters and symbols are clearly visible when viewed through a lens that covers the decorative substrate. Even if you can't see it, the lens itself may look dark and the appearance may be bad, but by using ink with high brightness and saturation to apply letters and symbols by screen printing, the lens can be made to look brighter. It also has the effect of not degrading the appearance. As a color with high brightness and saturation, it is desirable to use yellow, which has the closest reflection efficiency to white. If there is, it is possible to achieve the above effects.

In the above example, all of the plurality of decorative substrates mounted with LEDs that are controlled to emit light in rainbow colors are coated with a white solder resist (protective material) on their surfaces, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, some of the plurality of decorative boards mounted with LEDs that are controlled to emit light in rainbow colors are coated with a solder resist (protective material) other than white (for example, green or black) on the surface. Alternatively, for all or some of the plurality of decorative substrates on which LEDs whose light emission is controlled in a rainbow effect are mounted, white solder resist ( protective material), and the back surface on which the LED is not mounted may be coated with a solder resist (protective material) in a color other than white (for example, green or black).

In addition, letters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs and other decorative substrates to be mounted are also printed on the LED mounting surface by screen printing using ink with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow). Ink of a color with low brightness or saturation (for example, black, etc.) may be applied to the LED mounting surface by screen printing using the LED mounted LED In order to avoid confusion with other electronic components and other decorative substrates, letters and symbols are printed with foil-cut letters (i.e., in the layer (copper plane) on which the wiring pattern is formed, letters are created with a wiring pattern that is copper foil and surrounded by The surface of the foil letter may be coated with a white solder resist (protective material) that is coated on the mounting surface of the LED. Some of the decorative boards on which LEDs whose light emission is controlled by color rendering are mounted are formed as white resist removed characters using two coats of white resist (the entire LED mounting surface is white After coating with the solder resist (first layer), the entire area excluding electronic parts such as LEDs and other decorative substrates is masked to avoid confusion with other decorative substrates. By coating again with solder resist (second layer), the masked area (that is, characters and symbols are formed as characters without white resist), or LEDs that are controlled to emit light in rainbow colors can be mounted. For all or some of the multiple decorative boards that do, other than screen-printing characters and symbols on the surface where the LED is mounted using ink with high brightness and saturation (e.g., yellow) means, for example, on the back surface where the LED is not mounted, by screen printing using ink of a predetermined color (including not only colors with high brightness and saturation but also colors with low brightness and saturation), or foil-cut characters Avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs mounted on the decorative board and other decorative boards by forming them with white resist or forming them as white resist-cut letters using two coats of white resist. may Even in these cases, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the reflection efficiency on the surface on which the LED is mounted, and furthermore, the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface can be made substantially uniform to achieve uniform light emission, so it is possible to enhance the performance effect. .

The LED mounted on the decorative substrate is an electronic component whose package color is white or a color close to white (for example, ivory, beige, cream), and the LED mounting surface of these decorative substrates has Only packaged LEDs are mounted and no other electronic components are mounted. Thus, in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the reflection efficiency even by the package of the LED, and realize uniform light emission on the LED mounting surface. In addition to connectors for connecting electrical wiring to the decorative substrate, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, and circuits for controlling the light emission of multiple LEDs (for example, constant current drive circuits) are located on the non-LED mounting surface. One or more may be implemented. Also, the connector is an electronic component whose housing is white or nearly white (for example, ivory, beige, or cream), and the constant current drive circuit is black as an integrated circuit. It is an electronic component that is a surface mount type (SMD type) LED driver IC housed in an IC package, and the resistor is a surface mount type (SMD type) electronic component that has black, blue, white, etc. , the capacitor is a surface mount type (SMD type) electronic component with black, brown, gray, white or the like. In addition, in the above-described decorative substrate, at least electronic components having colors with low brightness and saturation such as black, brown, and gray may be mounted on the LED non-mounting surface without being mounted on the LED mounting surface. , or a color close to white (e.g., ivory, beige, cream) and other high-brightness or saturated electronic components may be mounted on either the LED-mounted surface or the non-LED-mounted surface. . As a result, the electronic components mounted on the surface of the decorative board become less noticeable when viewed through the lens covering the decorative board, and the reduction in reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface is suppressed to make the reflection efficiency substantially uniform. Therefore, it is possible to realize highly efficient and uniform light emission and enhance the presentation effect.

In this example, even when the rainbow color effect is executed as a variable effect, the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted, and various decorations provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 at the timing when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated. It is possible to change (adjust) the light amount of the LED on the board. Specifically, when the button with the character "+" of the two light amount adjustment buttons 228 is pressed, the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are immediately brightened. (Increase the amount of light), and when a button marked with "-" is pressed, the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are immediately dimmed (reduced in the amount of light). It's becoming

As shown in FIG. 241, when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the execution of the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group regardless of whether the LED is in the off state or not. Immediately change the light intensity of the LEDs in the group and the multiple LEDs in the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F to perform the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect, and with the light intensity after the change, the 1st board light-emitting group ~ Light emission of the plurality of LEDs of the sixth board light emission group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to frame light emission group F is controlled. In this example, during the execution of the button operation promotion effect, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board lighting group to the 6th board lighting group, the plurality of frame lighting groups A to C, and the plurality of frame lighting groups E to F , and the LEDs of the frame light-emitting group D (the plurality of LEDs 320a mounted on the effect operation unit outer peripheral decoration board 320 of the effect operation unit 300, the annular button external decoration board 355 A plurality of LEDs 355a mounted on the inside of the button decoration board 364 LED 364a) are turned on, and when the player operates the light amount adjustment button 228, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decoration board 320 of the effect operation unit 300 Since the plurality of mounted LEDs 320a, the plurality of LEDs 355a mounted on the ring-shaped outer button decorative board 355, and the LED 364a of the button inner decorative board 364 are immediately controlled to emit light with the changed light amount, the production operation unit 300 A plurality of LEDs 320a mounted on the effect operation section outer peripheral decoration board 320, a plurality of LEDs 355a mounted on the ring-shaped button outer decoration board 355, and LEDs 364a of the button center decoration board 364 While observing the change in the light amount, the first board It is possible to adjust the light amount of all LEDs of the plurality of LEDs of the light emission group to the sixth board light emission group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F.

On the other hand, among the various decoration boards provided on the game board 5, the rear upper and lower rear upper first decorations 3211 are provided on which the five 7-segment display portions of the upper rear upper movable decorations 3210 are arranged horizontally. Regarding the LED mounted on the first decoration board and not performing the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect, the light amount is not changed (adjusted) even if the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the execution of the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect. is set (the amount of light is fixed). In this way, the five seven-segment display units of the upper rear movable decorative body 3210 are arranged horizontally during the execution of the variable production that executes the rainbow color production. Since it is impossible to change (adjust) the amount of light (brightness) of the LED mounted on the first decorative board and the amount of light (brightness) is constant regardless of whether or not the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, the first panel It can be used as a reference when changing the light amount of the plurality of LEDs of the light emission group to the sixth board light emission group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to frame light emission group F. The difference from the luminance of the LED mounted on the rear upper first decoration substrate provided in the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 becomes clear, and the brightness can be easily adjusted to the player's preference. In addition, the LED mounted on the rear upper first decoration board provided in the rear upper first decoration part 3211 where the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged left and right is a rainbow color effect. Regardless of whether or not the variable effect is being executed, even if the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, the light amount may always be made impossible to be changed (adjusted).

In addition, in this example, five rear upper movable decorative bodies 3210 are provided with a rear upper first decoration substrate on which LEDs that are not adjustable for light intensity (brightness) and do not perform rainbow color effect light emitting decoration are mounted. LEDs belonging to the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 (the LEDs are mounted decoration board) and LEDs (decoration boards on which the LEDs are mounted) belonging to the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 (decoration board on which the LED is mounted) can be adjusted. LEDs are provided. In this way, the LED that serves as a reference for adjusting the amount of light (brightness) and the LED that changes the amount of light (brightness) are arranged close to each other. brightness).

As described above, the pachinko machine 1 of this example executes the rainbow color presentation when the probability of winning a big hit is high, but there are situations where the rainbow color presentation cannot be properly carried out depending on the state of the game machine. In such a case, not only can the effect of improving interest by the rainbow color presentation not be expected, but there is a possibility that the interest in the game may be lowered.

For example, an abnormality that makes it difficult to display the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 (abnormality in which LEDs (part or all) of the backlight of the effect display device 1600 do not emit light, an abnormality in which the display is disturbed due to noise, etc. etc.) occurs, or an abnormality that makes it difficult to control the light emission of the rainbow color effect of the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 (the door frame 3 and the game board 5 When there is an abnormality in which the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided (may be partly or entirely) do not emit light or an abnormality in which the light emission mode is disturbed due to noise, etc., the display by the effect display device 1600 and the door The rainbow color effect cannot be realized in a complete form as designed using the light emission by LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the frame 3 and the game board 5, and the display by the effect display device 1600 and the door frame 3 and the game An imperfect rainbow color presentation is performed in which part of the light emitted by the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided on the board 5 is missing.

Such imperfect execution of the rainbow color rendering makes it impossible to expect the original effect of improving the interest of the rainbow color rendering, and furthermore, the player recognizes that a rendering different from the rainbow color rendering is being executed. It can be confusing and misleading. In this example, such misunderstandings are avoided as much as possible. Description will be made with reference to FIG.

In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, an abnormality that makes it difficult to display the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 at timing t6 during execution of the rainbow color effect and LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or an abnormality that makes it difficult to control the light emission of the rainbow color effect of the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5. When an abnormal state occurs, a plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group provided on the game board 5 and a plurality of frame light-emitting groups A to F provided on the door frame 3. , the lighting decoration of the rainbow color effect is completed, the multiple LEDs of the 1st board lighting group to the 6th board lighting group are controlled to turn off, and the multiple LEDs of the frame lighting group A to frame lighting group F are turned off. Light emission is controlled in an abnormality notification light emission mode (in this example, a mode in which red flashing light is emitted at maximum luminance (light amount)) to notify occurrence of an abnormality.

As shown in FIG. 242, it is difficult to display the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 at an arbitrary timing from the timing t0 to the timing t2 before the start of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect in which the rainbow color effect is executed. an abnormality that makes it difficult to control the light emission of the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3; In the event of an abnormal state in which any one of the abnormalities in which light emission control is difficult occurs, the first display device provided on the game board 5 will be provided on the game board 5 even at the timing t2 at which the rainbow color effect is normally started. A plurality of LEDs of the board light-emitting group to the sixth board light-emitting group and a plurality of LEDs of the frame light-emitting group A to the frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 do not start the light-emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect. An abnormality notification light emission mode (this In an example, light emission is controlled in a mode of flashing red light at the maximum luminance (light amount).

Further, if the above-described abnormality occurs at timing t6 during execution of the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is extinguished to indicate that the abnormality has occurred. Display to notify. Similarly, when the above-described abnormality occurs at an arbitrary timing from timing t0 to timing t2 before the start of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect, the rainbow color effect display on the effect display device 1600 is performed. A display notifying that the abnormality has occurred is performed without starting the display of the mode. Note that part of the rainbow effect display mode may not be executed, and even in this case, the occurrence of an abnormality can be recognized by the display notifying that an abnormality has occurred.

In this way, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the display by the effect display device 1600 and the light emission by the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are used to create a perfect rainbow as designed. Since the rainbow color effect is controlled so as not to be interrupted or started when the color effect cannot be realized, it is possible to prevent the rainbow color effect from being executed in an incomplete form, thereby preventing the player from being misunderstood. can be suppressed.

In addition, the LED mounted on the rear upper first decoration board provided in the rear upper first decoration part 3211 where the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged left and right is a rainbow color effect. Even if an abnormal state occurs during the execution of the variable performance that executes good. In this case, due to the occurrence of an abnormal state, a plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group provided on the game board 5 and a plurality of frame light-emitting groups A to F provided on the door frame 3 Even if the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect is not completed or started, or the multiple LEDs of the frame light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F are controlled in the abnormality notification light emitting mode, the variable effect continues. The player can be made to recognize that the variable performance is finished, and the player will not be misunderstood that the variable presentation has ended.

In addition, whether or not to turn off the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 may be changed according to the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency). Error (minor error: when the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 is detected (due to the opening of the door frame 3, it becomes difficult to visually recognize the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3) case), when the vibration sensor (not shown) detects the vibration of the game board 5 continuously for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) (when it detects that an action such as hitting the pachinko machine 1 is being performed, Due to the vibration of the door frame 3 and various decorative boards provided on the game board 5, the light emitted by the LEDs and the display of the effect display device 1600 are blurred and difficult to see), the full tank detection sensor When a detection signal from 154 is input (when it is detected that the lower tray 202 is filled with game balls), when a detection signal from the ball cutting detection sensor 574 is input (in the guidance passage 570a Errors such as when it is detected that there is no game ball in the back) are unlikely to be performed. While controlling the light emission without turning off the LED that is turned off, an error that has a serious effect on the execution of the game and the rainbow effect (serious error: when radio wave irradiation is detected (door frame 3 or game board 5 by electromagnetic waves etc. If there is noise in the light emitted by the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided in the display device 1600 or noise is present in the display of the effect display device 1600), the second start port 2004 is not opened when the magnetic goto is detected. When the detection signal from the second starting opening sensor 2401 is input in the case, when the detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2402 is input when it is not in the big winning game state or the small winning game state, etc. error), the variable performance may be interrupted or terminated even during the execution of the variable performance by controlling the first decoration part 3211 to be turned off. As a result, the control state of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 can be varied according to the degree of the error, making it possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality.

Further, whether or not the display of the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 disappears may be changed according to the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency). For errors that have a small effect on the execution of , a warning display (for example, "Door is open" etc. is displayed so that a part of the rainbow color effect display mode is overlapped without disappearing the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600. ), the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 disappears and a warning display (e.g., ``Illegal winning has occurred! ), the display of the rainbow effect (rainbow effect display mode) may be interrupted or terminated even during execution of the rainbow effect. As a result, the display mode of the effect display device 1600 can be varied according to the degree of the error, making it possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality. In addition, for an error that seriously affects the execution of the game or the rainbow color effect, control is performed to turn off the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is extinguished. In the case of such control, the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode or the like in the effect display device 1600 may be ended at a timing delayed by a predetermined period from the timing of turning off the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211. . In this case, sudden switching of the display contents in the effect display device 1600 can be suppressed, and the display contents can be switched while leaving the afterglow of the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode.

In addition, when an abnormal state occurs, depending on the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), the effect display device 1600 displays a notification that the abnormal state has occurred, and the LED provided on the door frame 3 Any one or any combination of two or more (including all of them) of notification by controlling light emission in an error mode and notification that an abnormal state has occurred by voice output may be executed. For example, when a minor error that has little effect on the game occurs, the effect display device 1600 displays a notification of an abnormal state, and the LED provided on the door frame 3 emits light in an error mode. Either one or a combination of two of notification by control and notification of the occurrence of an abnormal state by voice output is executed, and a serious error that seriously affects the game occurs In this case, the effect display device 1600 displays a notification of an abnormal state, a notification by controlling light emission of the LED provided on the door frame 3 in an error mode, and an abnormality by voice output Notification that a state has occurred may be executed.

In addition, in this example, in the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, an abnormality occurs during the execution of the rainbow color effect (timing t6) or before the start of the rainbow color effect (any timing from timing t0 to timing t2), When the abnormality is resolved during the execution of the rainbow color effect (before the rainbow color effect ends) and the abnormal state returns to the normal state, the abnormality is notified by the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F. Although the light emission mode ends, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 and the plurality of frame light emission groups A to F provided on the door frame 3. , do not execute the rainbow color rendering luminous decoration (do not restart the rainbow colored luminous decoration (do not return to the rainbow colored luminous decoration)).

That is, when an abnormality occurs in which the light emission mode of the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 is disturbed due to noise or the like, the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect is terminated, or the light emission of the rainbow color effect is terminated. If decoration is not started, noise may occur again even if it is once determined that the abnormality has been resolved. In such a case, if the control is performed so that the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration is restarted in response to the elimination of the abnormality, there is a risk that the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration is repeatedly executed and ended, which confuses the player. There is a risk of Therefore, in this example, if the rainbow color effect is terminated or the rainbow color effect is not started based on the occurrence of an abnormality, the rainbow color effect will be displayed even if the abnormality is resolved during the execution period of the rainbow color effect. The luminous decoration of the presentation is not executed or restarted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 242, at timing t6 during the execution of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect, noise or the like causes a plurality of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 to change. When an abnormality occurs that makes it difficult to control the light emission of the rainbow effect by any of the LEDs (timing t6), the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 , the plurality of LEDs of the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 complete the rainbow-colored light-emitting decoration, and the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group are turned off. The light emission is controlled to the state, and light emission is controlled in an abnormality notification light emission mode in which a plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F blinks in red at the maximum luminance (light amount).

At this time, the effect display device 1600 disappears the display of the rainbow color effect display mode and displays a warning (such as "abnormal occurrence"). It has become. In addition, the LED mounted on the rear upper first decoration board provided in the rear upper first decoration part 3211 where the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged left and right is a rainbow color effect. Although the light emission decoration is not executed, the light emission control corresponding to the variable performance for executing the rainbow color performance is continued, and even if the display of the rainbow color performance display mode in the performance display device 1600 disappears, the variable performance continues. The player can be made aware of what is being done. In addition, a warning sound is output in the above-described abnormal state, and the player and the game staff can recognize that the abnormal state has occurred by listening to the warning sound.

In addition, at timing t10 after the abnormal state occurs, the noise and the like are eliminated, and the plurality of LEDs of the first to sixth board light emission groups provided on the game board 5 can be controlled to emit rainbow colors. (timing t10), the effect display device 1600 terminates the warning display and restarts the display of the rainbow color effect display mode. As described above, even during the occurrence of an abnormal state, the control data of the rainbow color effect display mode is updated according to the scheduler, and the effect display device 1600 is displayed in a mode corresponding to the elapsed time after the start of the variable effect. The rainbow color effect display mode is displayed, and the rainbow color effect by one of the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 due to noise etc. Instead of the rainbow color performance display mode displayed at timing t6 when an abnormality that makes light emission control difficult occurs, a rainbow color performance display mode is displayed according to timing t10 when noise or the like is eliminated and an abnormal state is recovered.

Further, in this example, even if the abnormality is resolved at timing t10, for a certain period of time (for example, 30 seconds), the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F blinks in red at the maximum luminance (light amount) to emit an abnormality notification light. The mode is continued (timing t10 to timing t11). In other words, after the abnormality is resolved (timing t10), if an abnormality occurs again before a certain period of time elapses, the abnormality notification light emission mode is not terminated at the timing of the elapse of the certain period of time, and the abnormality is notified even after the certain period of time has elapsed. The light emission mode is continued. As a result, when the occurrence and resolution of an abnormality occur frequently, a game clerk or the like can continuously perform light emission control in the abnormality notification light emission mode without repeating the end and restart of the light emission control in the abnormality notification light emission mode each time. becomes easier to notice.

Further, when an abnormality occurs at timing t6, after the plurality of LEDs of the first to sixth board light emitting groups provided on the game board 5 are turned off (timing t6), even if the abnormality is resolved at timing t10, A plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 continue to be turned off, and do not return to the rainbow color effect light emission decoration (timing t10 to timing t100).

Similarly, when an abnormality occurs at timing t6, the plurality of LEDs of frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 are controlled to emit light in the abnormality notification light-emitting mode (timing t6). When the problem is resolved and a certain period of time elapses without an abnormality occurring again, the plurality of LEDs of the frame light-emitting group A to the frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 are controlled to be extinguished to produce a rainbow color effect. It does not return to the luminous decoration (timing t10 to timing t100).

Then, when the rainbow effect ends and the ready-to-win effect starts at timing t100, the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emitting group to the sixth board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 and the frame provided on the door frame 3 A plurality of LEDs of the light emitting group A to the frame light emitting group F are controlled to emit light in a manner corresponding to the ready-to-win effect. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, even if the abnormality is resolved during the execution of the rainbow color presentation, the lighting decoration of the rainbow color presentation is not restored, so whether or not the abnormality has occurred during the execution of the rainbow color presentation is checked. It is identifiable. If an abnormality occurs before the start of the rainbow color effect and is resolved before the start of the rainbow color effect, the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect is started at the timing t2 at which the rainbow color effect is started. can be

In addition, it is provided on the game board 5 not at the timing t10 when the abnormality is resolved, but at the timing t100 when the rainbow color effect ends (timing to start the effect (in this example, ready-to-win effect) executed next to the rainbow color effect). It is not limited to starting light emission control of the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel light emission group to the 6th panel light emission group and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F provided on the door frame 3 (at timing t100 Not limited to starting light emission control), when the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect is finished, or when the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect is finished and the next variable effect is started, the rainbow color effect It may be the case that the demonstration effect is started without starting the next variable effect after the variable effect that executes is completed. Even in this case, it is possible to determine that an abnormality has occurred during execution of the rainbow color effect or during execution of the variable effect.

In addition, when the abnormality is resolved after the variable performance for executing the rainbow color performance is ended, the plurality of LEDs of the first board light emission group to the sixth board light emission group provided on the game board 5 at the timing when the abnormality is resolved. Light emission control of at least the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group provided on the game board 5 among the plurality of LEDs of the frame light-emitting group A to the frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 is started. In this case, if the abnormality is resolved during the execution of the variable performance different from the variable performance in which the abnormality occurred, and the rainbow color performance is executed at the timing when the abnormality is resolved, then at the timing The light emission mode may be controlled to produce a rainbow effect.

Further, when the abnormality is resolved, some of the LEDs may be returned to the rainbow-colored lighting decoration. For example, when the abnormality is resolved, among the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group provided on the game board 5, the plurality of LEDs of the 4th board light-emitting group are restored to the rainbow color effect light-emitting decoration. Then, when a certain period of time elapses after the abnormality is resolved, the frame light-emitting group A among the plurality of LEDs of the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F provided on the door frame 3 is returned to the rainbow-colored light-emitting decoration. can be In this case, the schedule data of the light emission control pattern is advanced even though the light emission is not controlled during the occurrence of the abnormal state, and the light emission mode is restarted from the light emission mode at the timing when the abnormality is resolved instead of the light emission mode at the timing when the abnormality occurs. Become so. In this way, when some of the LEDs are returned to the rainbow color effect lighting decoration when the abnormality is resolved, and the other LEDs are turned off, only some of the LEDs are in the rainbow color effect. It becomes possible to determine that an abnormality has occurred during execution of the rainbow color presentation by not performing the luminous decoration.

In this example, even in an abnormal state, the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted, and the plurality of LEDs of the first to sixth board lighting groups and the plurality of frame lighting groups A to F are activated. The set value of the amount of light (brightness) can be changed.

However, in a normal state where no abnormality has occurred, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group and the frame light emission group A to the frame light emission group F are activated at the timing when the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is received. The light intensity (brightness) of a plurality of LEDs is immediately changed, and with the light intensity (brightness) after the change, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group and the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F On the other hand, when an abnormality occurs, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel emission group to the 6th panel emission group and the frame are controlled at the timing when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated Although the setting value of the light intensity (brightness) of the multiple LEDs of the lighting groups A to F is changed, the multiple LEDs of the 1st board lighting group to the 6th board lighting group are changed at the timing when the operation is accepted. , and the plurality of LEDs of the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F are not emitted to the light intensity (luminance) after the change, and after the abnormality is resolved, specifically, the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting The plurality of LEDs in the group are controlled to emit light with the changed light amount (luminance) after the timing t10 when the door frame 3 is closed and the abnormality is resolved. LED is controlled to emit light with the changed light amount (luminance) after timing t11 when the door frame 3 is closed and the abnormality is resolved and a certain period of time has elapsed.

In this way, even if the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated in a state where an abnormality has occurred, the plurality of LEDs of the 1st panel emission group to the 6th panel emission group and the plurality of frame emission groups A to F of the frame emission group Since the light amount (luminance) of the LED is not changed, it is possible to suppress the difficulty of noticing the abnormality notification light emission mode. In addition, even when an abnormality occurs, the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted to change the set value of the light amount (brightness). Even in a state in which .

In this example, a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter referred to as a dimming LED group) that belong to the 1st board light emitting group to the 6th board light emitting group provided on the game board 5 and are capable of adjusting the light amount are mounted. Separately from the decoration substrate, a first decoration substrate on the back and on which a plurality of LEDs (hereinafter referred to as non-dimmable LED group) whose light quantity cannot be adjusted for decorating the 7-segment display section is mounted is provided. However, the 7-segment display part is not limited to this, and the 7-segment display part is emitted from a part of one of the plurality of decoration substrates on which the plurality of LEDs belonging to the first to sixth emission groups are mounted. You may make it mount LED for making it decorate. That is, a plurality of LEDs whose light quantity can be adjusted (group of dimming LEDs) and a plurality of LEDs whose quantity of light cannot be adjusted (group of non-dimming LEDs) may be mounted on a single decorative substrate.

For example, a dimming LED group consisting of a plurality of LEDs whose light quantity can be adjusted and a non-dimming LED group consisting of a plurality of LEDs whose light quantity cannot be adjusted may be arranged at a predetermined interval, In this case, the distance between adjacent LEDs in the dimming LED group and the distance between adjacent LEDs in the non-dimming LED group are more than the distance between the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group. may be arranged so as to be close to each other. With this configuration, it becomes easy to distinguish between the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group, and it becomes easy to compare the brightness of the LEDs whose light amount can be adjusted and the LEDs whose light amount cannot be adjusted.

In addition, a resin-made LED with a color (white in this example) that is the same as or very similar to an LED whose light quantity can be adjusted (hereinafter referred to as a dimming LED) and an LED whose light quantity cannot be adjusted (hereinafter referred to as a non-dimming LED) In addition, the same type of package may be used. This allows the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED to emit light under the same conditions. By contrasting the brightness with the non-dimmable LED, the difference between the brightness of the non-dimmable LED and the brightness of the non-dimmable LED becomes clear, and the brightness can be easily adjusted to the player's preference.

Also, a plurality of through holes may be formed between the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group. In the area where the through holes are formed on the surface of the decorative board, the light emitted from the LEDs is not reflected and leaks to the back side of the decorative board (non-LED mounting surface), so the dimming LED group and the non-adjustable By forming a through hole between the group of light LEDs, interference between the light from the dimming LED and the light from the non-dimming LED is suppressed, and the light from each LED can be visually recognized individually. As a result, the brightness can be adjusted based on the light from the dimmable LED group only, and the light from the non-dimmable LED group only can be used as an index for brightness adjustment, thus improving the contrast accuracy. is increased, making it easier for the player to adjust the brightness to his liking. In addition, the through-holes are formed with an outer diameter smaller than that of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED (ratio (area) occupied by one through-hole in the LED mounting surface (front surface, front surface) of the decorative substrate ≤ one adjustment By reducing the ratio (area) occupied by the light LED or one non-dimmable LED, the light of the dimmable LED and the non-dimmable LED is leaked from the through-hole to the back surface of the decorative substrate (LED non-mounting surface) more than necessary. It may be deterred. In this case, the number of through-holes formed between the dimming LEDs and the non-dimming LEDs should be larger than the number of the dimming LEDs and the number of the non-dimming LEDs mounted on the sides of the through-holes. By increasing the number of LEDs, it is possible to suppress the reflection and interference of the light emitted from each of the dimming LEDs and the non-dimming LEDs. can be set to

In addition, on the LED mounting surface (front surface, front surface) of the decorative substrate, a three-dimensional object (electronic component or structure having a predetermined thickness, etc.) that separates part or all of the dimming LED group and the non-dimming LED group may be provided to suppress reflection and interference of light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED. For example, electronic components mounted on circuit boards such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, ICs, and LED drivers are mounted between dimming LEDs and non-dimming LEDs on the LED mounting surface (front surface, front surface) of the decorative substrate. You may make it In this way, by providing an electronic component that has a predetermined thickness and is mounted so as to protrude from the LED mounting surface (front surface, front surface) of the decorative substrate between the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED, the light can be modulated. Part or all of the LED and the non-dimming LED may be separated to suppress reflection and interference of the light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED.

In addition, the electronic parts provided between the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED have a dark color (black, gray, green, blue, brown, etc.) appearance with low reflection efficiency (some are different from dark color). It may have a portion (for example, it may have a metallic color such as silver or a transparent portion). As a result, the effect of suppressing reflection and interference of light emitted from each of the dimming LEDs and the non-dimming LEDs can be further enhanced.

Further, in the above example, the rear upper first decoration in which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 provided with the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the non-dimming LED is mounted is arranged in the left and right direction. The portion 3211 is formed in a size that extends over the left and right ends of the effect display device 1600, and the characters, numbers, patterns, etc. displayed by the 7-segment display portion of the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 can be displayed by the player. Although the ones that are easy to notice are shown, the first decoration part 3211 on the back and on the back side may be formed by, for example, one 7-segment display part, or a decoration board smaller than other decoration boards on which LEDs are mounted may be provided. For example, an effect that is difficult for the player to notice may be executed. In this case, the player who notices the existence of the 7-segment display can be given further enjoyment by the effect executed by the 7-segment display in addition to the effect by the effect display device 1600 or the like. In addition, the surface of a single decorative substrate on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted is divided into a region where a plurality of LEDs are mounted for luminous decoration of the decorative body covering the decorative substrate, and 7 segments provided on a part of the decorative body. In the case where the display part is divided into a region in which a plurality of LEDs for luminous decoration are mounted, and the decorative body covering the decorative substrate is arranged in such a manner that the display portion is divided into a region in which the plurality of LEDs for luminous decoration are mounted, the decorative body is more decorated than the region in which the plurality of LEDs for luminous decoration is mounted. A region in which a plurality of LEDs for decorating a 7-segment display provided on a part of the body are mounted may be narrowed.

In this way, the non-dimming LEDs that serve as a reference for brightness adjustment and the dimming LEDs that change the brightness are mounted on a single decorative substrate and arranged close to each other. Compared to mounting on different substrates, it is possible to arrange the dimming LEDs and the non-dimming LEDs closer to each other, making it easier to compare the brightness of the dimming LEDs and the non-dimming LEDs.

In the above example, the LEDs that perform the rainbow-colored lighting decoration, specifically, the LEDs included in the 1st board light-emitting group to the 6th board light-emitting group and the LEDs included in the frame light-emitting group A to frame light-emitting group F. LEDs that are capable of adjusting the brightness and do not perform the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect, specifically, the five 7-segment display parts of the back rear upper movable decoration 3210 are arranged left and right. Although the LED that illuminates 3211 is shown to be non-adjustable in brightness, in addition to the LED that illuminates the first decoration part 3211 on the back rear upper side of the door frame 3 and the game board 5, it emits rainbow color effect. One or more non-iridescent LEDs without decoration may be provided. The non-rainbow LED is controlled to be turned off when the rainbow color effect is executed, or controlled to perform light emission decoration different from the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect. It does not perform luminous decoration for production, but unlike the LED that luminous decoration is applied to the first decorative part 3211 on the back, it is possible to adjust the luminance. In this way, the result of the brightness adjustment during execution of the rainbow effect can be reflected in the non-rainbow LEDs that do not carry out the luminescence decoration of the rainbow effect. It is possible to emit light with brightness (light quantity) desired by the player in the executed light emission decoration.

In addition, when the above-described dimming LEDs are performing a rainbow-colored light-emitting decoration, the luminescent color is switched (flickering) in a short time, so an accurate amount of light (brightness) is obtained based on the light of these dimming LEDs. is difficult to determine. Therefore, there is a problem that the amount of light (luminance) is actually set to be different from the amount of light (luminance) desired by the player, even though the player intends to adjust the amount of light (luminance) to his liking. As described above, when a non-rainbow-colored LED is provided that does not execute the rainbow-colored lighting decoration even during execution of the rainbow-colored lighting effect, and a light-emitting decoration different from the rainbow-colored lighting decoration is executed, the door frame 3 In order to be able to accurately determine the light intensity (brightness) based on the light from the non-iridescent LED when adjusting the light intensity (brightness) of the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 Thus, the amount of light (brightness) can be easily adjusted to the player's preference.

In addition, as the light emitting decoration during execution of the rainbow color effect of the non-rainbow LED, at least the LED that performs the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect, specifically, the LEDs included in the first to sixth board light emitting groups. The LEDs included in the frame light emission groups A to F may be those that switch the emission color in a longer unit light emission time than the LEDs included in the frame emission groups A, or those that perform emission decoration with the same emission color without switching the emission color.

In addition, the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 provided with the rear upper first decoration substrate on which non-dimming LEDs that do not perform the rainbow color effect light emission decoration are mounted, and whose light quantity (luminance) cannot be adjusted as described above. Non-iridescent LEDs (full-color LEDs are controlled in emission colors different from the emission colors of the five 7-segment display parts of the back-upper movable decorative body 3210) It may be one that controls the light emission of a monochromatic LED that emits light in a color different from the light emission color of the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decoration 3210). Light emission may be controlled. In this case, it becomes easy to distinguish between non-iridescent LEDs and non-dimming LEDs, and it becomes easy to compare the light amount (luminance) when adjusting the light amount (luminance). , the amount of light (brightness) can be easily adjusted to the player's preference.

In the above-described example, the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect, that is, the luminous decoration that changes the luminous color in a short time is not performed. A white solder resist (protective material) having the highest reflection efficiency is also applied to the surface of the rear upper first decoration substrate on which monochromatic LEDs (non-dimmable LEDs) that illuminate and decorate the upper first decoration portion 3211 are mounted. In addition to being coated, letters and symbols to avoid confusion with mounted electronic parts such as LEDs and other decorative substrates should be colored with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow and other colors with similar reflection efficiency to white) ) is applied by screen printing to increase the reflection efficiency of the surface on which the LEDs are mounted on the rear upper first decorative substrate. By suppressing the interference of light on the surface of the first decorative substrate on the rear and back side, and making the light emission of each LED clearer, characters, numbers, patterns, etc. displayed on the segment display portion can be displayed more clearly. good.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 243(A), an LED is mounted to light-embellish the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged horizontally. and a rear upper first decoration substrate provided on the back side of the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 and a rear upper second decoration portion in which predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") are arranged in rows. The back rear upper second decoration substrate on which the LED for light emitting decoration 3212 is mounted, and the back rear upper movable decoration body 3210 containing the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper first decoration part 3211 and the back rear upper It is formed with a predetermined thickness (about 10 mm in this example) of an opaque (white in this example) resin or the like that does not transmit light except for the predetermined characters of the second decorative portion 3212 .

Further, as shown in FIG. 243(B), the 7-segment display portion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is formed with tubular penetrating portions corresponding to the respective segments. The surface on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted of the first decorative substrate on the back side is partitioned so that the LEDs are arranged. In addition, cylindrical through portions corresponding to predetermined characters ("JACKPOT" in this case) are formed in the rear upper second decorative portion 3212, and one or more LEDs are arranged in the through portions. , the surface on which the plurality of LEDs of the second decorative substrate are mounted is partitioned.

In addition, the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is formed so as to be divided into two front and rear decorative bodies, and the inside of one of the decorative bodies is brought into close contact with the surface of the rear upper first decorative substrate on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted. With the inside of the other decoration in close contact with the surface of the second decoration substrate on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted, the decoration divided into front and back is assembled (fixed) to the back and back. It constitutes the upper movable decorative body 3210 .

As a result, the light emitted from the LEDs arranged in the penetrating portions corresponding to the respective segments in the 7-segment display portion of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is prevented from leaking into the penetrating portions corresponding to other segments. , the interference of the light emitted from each of the plurality of segments of the 7-segment display section can be suppressed, so that the information (characters, numbers, patterns, , etc.) can be made easier to identify individually. In addition, since the light from the LED arranged in the through portion can be emitted from each segment in the 7-segment display portion of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 without leaking to the outside of the through portion, the amount of light in the through portion is (brightness) can be suppressed.

Similarly, the light emitted from the LEDs arranged in the penetrating portions corresponding to the predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") of the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 leaks into the penetrating portions corresponding to other characters. can be suppressed to suppress the interference of the light emitted from each of the predetermined characters, so that each of the predetermined characters of the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 can be easily identified individually. In addition, since the light from the LEDs arranged in the through portion can be emitted from each of the predetermined letters (here, "JACKPOT") of the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 without leaking out of the through portion, A decrease in the amount of light (brightness) in the penetrating portion can be suppressed.

In this case, the LED mounting surface of the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 are mounted, and the LED that decorates the rear upper second decoration portion 3212 are mounted. Although the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate is reduced, the light from each through portion can be emitted independently without interfering with each other. The characters, numbers, patterns, etc. indicated by the five seven-segment display portions of the decorative portion 3211, and the predetermined characters of the second decorative portion 3212 on the rear upper back side can be clearly displayed, and this information can be displayed to the player. can tell you exactly.

In addition, the LED mounting surface of the rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are mounted, and the LED mounting surface on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. Even when the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decoration substrate is coated with a dark solder resist (protective material), the rear upper first decoration substrate is not mounted with the LEDs for decorating the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 with light emission. and the LED non-mounting surface of the rear upper second decoration substrate, on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper second decoration portion 3212 are mounted, are colored other than dark (for example, white, green, etc.). A solder resist (protective material) may be coated. In addition, the LED mounting surface of the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are mounted, and the LED mounting surface on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. White solder resist (protective material) is coated only on the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate and only the inner region of the through portion, or a white coating film is formed by silk printing, etc., and the outer region of the through portion A dark-colored solder resist (protective material) may be coated on the surface of the substrate, or a dark-colored coating film may be formed by silk printing or the like. While suppressing the interference, the light emitted from the LED arranged in the through portion is reflected at a high rate, so that each segment of the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 and the rear upper second decoration Predetermined characters (here, “JACKPOT”) in the portion 3212 can be decorated brightly.

In addition, the back rear upper movable decoration corresponding to each segment of the five 7-segment display parts of the back rear upper movable decoration body 3210 and the predetermined characters (here, "JACKPOT") of the back rear upper second decoration part 3212 The surface of the body 3210 (the portion where the through portion is formed) is coated with a translucent film (white opaque ground glass in this example) or a translucent translucent film (red, etc. in this example). A cover made of resin or the like may be provided. As a result, the light from the LED that decorates the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 and the LED that decorates the rear upper second decoration portion 3212 is prevented from being directly viewed, so that the player does not feel dazzling. can do. In addition, by causing the film or the cover body to emit surface light, the light source becomes inconspicuous when the LED that decorates the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 or the LED that decorates the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 emits light. can do.

In addition, the LED mounting surface of the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are mounted, and the LED mounting surface on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. In order to avoid confusion between the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate and electronic components such as LEDs mounted on the rear second decorative substrate and other decorative substrates, letters and symbols are colored with high brightness and saturation (for example, yellow) It is applied by screen printing using the ink of In addition, the LED mounting surface of the rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are mounted, and the LED mounting surface on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. For one or both of the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate, ink of a color with low brightness or saturation (for example, green) may be applied to the LED mounting surface by screen printing. , Letters and symbols to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs and other decorative substrates to be mounted are letters and symbols without foil (that is, wiring patterns that are copper foil in the layer (copper plane) where the wiring pattern is formed) The surface of the foil-cut letters is coated with a dark-colored solder resist (protective material) that is coated on the mounting surface of the LED. Alternatively, the LED non-mounting surface (rear surface) may be screen-printed using ink of a predetermined color (not limited to colors with high brightness and saturation, but also including colors with low brightness and saturation). In this case as well, the LED mounting surface of the rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 are mounted, and the LED that decorates the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 are mounted. It is possible to suppress light interference with the LED mounting surface of the rear upper second decorative substrate.

In addition, the back rear top first decoration substrate on which the LED that illuminates the back top first decoration portion 3211 is mounted, and the back top second decoration substrate on which the LED that illuminates the back top second decoration portion 3212 is mounted. The decorative substrate and the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are firmly attached to the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 (difficult to remove, at least a part of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210, the rear upper first decorative substrate, or the rear upper second decorative substrate is removed due to welding, etc. irreversible mounting state that cannot be removed unless destroyed), whereby the LED mounting surfaces of the rear upper first decoration substrate and the rear upper second decoration substrate are mounted on the rear upper movable decorative body 3210. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decoration substrate and the rear upper second decoration substrate from being damaged by mischief or the like.

In addition, among the plurality of decoration substrates on which the plurality of LEDs belonging to the 1st board to 6th board light emission groups are mounted, a part of one of the decoration boards is provided with an LED for decorating the 7-segment display section with light emission. When mounting, that is, when mounting a plurality of LEDs whose light amount can be adjusted (dimming LED group) and a plurality of LEDs whose light amount cannot be adjusted (non-dimming LED group) on a single decorative substrate Alternatively, a decorative body in which the through portion is formed may be provided on the LED mounting surface of the non-dimmable LED group. In this case, the effect of suppressing reflection and interference of light emitted from each of the dimming LED and the non-dimming LED is further enhanced.

As described above, information such as letters, numbers, patterns, etc. is displayed in the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the rear upper second decorative portion 3212, and important information is displayed in the game effect. It can play an important role such as In addition, the main control MPU 1310 a of the main control board 1310 may directly control the main control board 1310 . Compared to the case of controlling the decoration part 3211 and the rear upper second decoration part 3212, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of troubles (such as display of contents different from what should be displayed), and to prevent disadvantages for players. can be made

In addition, while the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 performs the peripheral control unit regular processing every 33.3 ms, the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 performs the main control side timer interrupt processing every 4 ms. , the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 controls the rear upper first decorative part 3211 and the rear upper second decorative part 3212 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310 . The display contents of the back upper first decorative portion 3211 and the back upper second decorative portion 3212 can be updated, and if a problem occurs, the back upper first decorative portion 3211 and the back rear upper second decorative portion 3212 can be updated. Even when contents different from the originally displayed contents are displayed, the display contents can be immediately updated (after 4 ms) to be changed to the original display contents, so that a player or the like is not disadvantaged. That is, the back top first decorative portion 3211 and the back top second decorative portion 3212 that display important information (high importance) are higher than the light emitting decorations that do not display important information (low importance). Since the control signal is output in a short cycle to update the light emission mode of the light emitting means (LED), there is a problem with the display contents of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 that display important information. Even if a problem occurs, the display contents can be immediately changed to normal display contents, and it is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by the display of contents different from the original contents. Further, when the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 is configured to control the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 and the back rear upper second decoration part 3212 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, A communication error may occur between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510, and there is a possibility that the information indicated by the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 and the rear upper second decorative portion 3212 may be defective. In the example, the main control board 1310 directly controls the rear upper first decoration part 3211 and the rear upper second decoration part 3212, so that the peripheral control part 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 controls the rear upper first decoration part 3211 and the rear upper second decoration part 3212 directly. Compared to the case of controlling the back top second decoration part 3212, the information indicated by the back top first decoration part 3211 and the back back top second decoration part 3212 is less likely to be defective, and the player is disadvantaged. You can restrain yourself from giving.

[Modification 1 of rainbow effect]
Next, a modified example of the rainbow effect described above will be described. In this example, the player can determine the degree of expectation for a big hit by pressing the pressing operation section 303 of the performance operation unit 300 during execution of the rainbow effect. It should be noted that in Modification 1, only portions different from the above embodiment will be described, and redundant description will not be given.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 244, when the rainbow color effect is being executed, if the variable display with a high expectation of a big hit such as the decorative pattern becoming a reach after the rainbow color effect is being executed, the Even if the pressing operation part 303 of the performance operation unit 300 is pressed at timing t6 during execution of the rainbow color performance, the rainbow color performance is continuously executed until timing t100 without ending the rainbow color performance.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 245, when the rainbow color effect is being executed, if the variation display with high expectation of big hit such as the decorative pattern does not become a reach after the rainbow color effect is not being executed, the rainbow color effect When the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed at timing t6 during the execution of , the rainbow color effect being executed is terminated at timing t6 when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed. Then, the effect display device 1600 displays a predetermined effect mode (for example, variable display of decorative patterns, etc.), and LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 and various decorations provided on the door frame 3 are displayed. The light emission of the LEDs on the board is controlled in a predetermined light emission mode (part or all of them may be extinguished).

Thus, it is possible to determine the possibility of a big hit when the rainbow color effect is being executed, and the player presses the effect operation unit 300 during the period from timing t2 to timing t100 when the rainbow color effect is being executed. It is possible to induce the operation unit 303 to be positively pressed. In addition, when the player presses the pressing operation part 303 of the performance operation unit 300 during the period from the timing t2 to the timing t100 when the rainbow color performance is executed and determines that the big hit expectation is high, the game interest is improved. can be made It should be noted that the possibility of a big hit can be determined not only by pressing the pressing operation section 303 of the production operation unit 300, but also by operating a predetermined operation means. may be For example, when the contact operation unit 302 is rotated, the possibility of a big win can be determined, when the volume control button 227 is pressed, the possibility of a big win can be determined, and the light amount control button 228 It may be possible to determine the possibility of a big hit when pressing the .

It should be noted that after the rainbow color effect being executed is completed based on the fact that the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during the execution of the rainbow color effect, the effect display device 1600 displays a display irrelevant to the rainbow color effect. You may make it perform a production display. This makes it possible for the player to notice that the rainbow color presentation has ended and to surely recognize that the degree of expectation for a big win is low. Also, when the effect display device 1600 executes the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect, the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect can also be terminated according to the operation of the effect operation unit 300. Alternatively, if the effect operation unit 300 is not operated for a predetermined period during execution of the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect, the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect is terminated. can be Further, after the effect display unrelated to the rainbow color effect being executed by the effect display device 1600 is completed, when a predetermined start condition is met (for example, the effect operation unit 300 is not operated for a predetermined period of time). or when the non-variation effect period in which the variable effect is not executed reaches a predetermined period, etc.), the rainbow color effect may be started again. As a result, the lighting mode and the display mode of the rainbow-colored performance are imprinted in the player's mind, and when the rainbow-colored performance is executed in the subsequent variable performance, the variable performance with a high expectation for a big win is executed. The production operation unit 300 can be operated with such expectations.

Also, in FIG. 245, when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during execution of the rainbow color effect, the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 are provided. After finishing the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect in the LEDs of the various decorative substrates, the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 is delayed by a predetermined period from the timing of finishing the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect. , etc., is terminated. As a result, sudden switching of the display content in the effect display device 1600 can be suppressed, and the display content can be switched while leaving the afterglow of the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode.

Further, when the pressing operation portion 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during execution of the rainbow color effect, a predetermined sound may be output. In this case, the pressing operation portion 303 of the effect operation unit 300 After outputting a predetermined sound based on the fact that is pressed, the timing of outputting this predetermined sound (the timing may be the same as or different from the timing at which the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect is completed) may be earlier than the predetermined timing. Period (If the specified sound is output at the same timing as when the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration ends, the same period as the predetermined period from the timing when the rainbow-colored light emitting decoration ends) When outputting a predetermined sound at a timing different from the timing of finishing the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 at a delayed timing) may be terminated. In this case as well, sudden switching of the display content in the effect display device 1600 can be prevented, and the display content can be switched while leaving the afterglow of the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode.

Also, when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during execution of the rainbow effect, various LEDs of the decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 and various LEDs provided on the door frame 3 After finishing the luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect on the LEDs of the decorative substrate, the rainbow colors of the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 You may make it start the light emission decoration of production|presentation. In this case, the effect display device 1600 is displayed after the lighting decoration of the rainbow color effect of the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 is finished. Before ending the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode in (while continuing the effect display such as the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600) Various decoration boards provided on the game board 5 again It is also possible to start the luminescence decoration of the rainbow color effect in the LEDs and the LEDs of various decoration substrates provided on the door frame 3 . As a result, the interest of the player who is discouraged by judging that the degree of expectation for the big win is low due to the end of the luminous decoration of the rainbow color presentation can be improved, and the player can be made to pay attention to the rainbow color presentation again.

In addition to the above example, the degree of expectation for a big hit may be determined by changing the sound output mode during execution of the rainbow effect. For example, if the above-described rainbow color effect is being executed, if the variable display with a high degree of expectation for a big hit is being executed, such as the decorative pattern becoming a reach after the rainbow color effect, the mode according to the rainbow color effect While executing the sound output, when the rainbow color production is executed, if the decorative pattern does not become a reach after the rainbow color production, etc. If the variation display with a high expectation of the big hit is not being executed, according to the rainbow color production Without executing the sound output of the one mode, another mode of sound output may be performed or no sound output may be performed. Also in this case, the degree of expectation for big win can be discriminated by the execution of the rainbow color presentation and the mode of sound output, and when it is discriminated that the degree of expectation for big win is high, the amusement of the game can be improved.

[Modification 2 of rainbow effect]
Although the above-mentioned rainbow color effect does not involve the movement of the movable body, the movable body that is decorated with the above-described rainbow color effect must always or at a predetermined rate in addition to the light emitting decoration in the rainbow color effect. You may make it perform the operation|movement linked with rainbow color production|presentation. Hereinafter, it is shown as Modified Example 2. It should be noted that in Modification 2, only portions different from the above embodiment will be described, and redundant description will not be given.

As shown in FIG. 246, at timing t2, the pressing operation section 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed by the player, or the button effective period (for example, 5) is reached without the pressing operation section 303 of the effect operation unit 300 being pressed. seconds) has elapsed (timing t2), a plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front, bottom, middle decoration board 3168 belonging to the fourth board light emission group are switched to a predetermined emission color (in this example, After emitting light in blue), control is performed to change the emission color at predetermined intervals (for example, 0.1 seconds) (in this example, “blue” → “purple” → “red” → “white” → “yellow”). ” → “Green” → “Blue” → “Purple” → …).

Further, at timing t2, the pressing operation section 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed by the player, or the button effective period (for example, 5 seconds) elapses without the pressing operation section 303 of the effect operation unit 300 being pressed. When the rainbow color effect is started in accordance with the operation, the back front bottom middle decoration body 3161 of the back front bottom effect unit 3160 provided with the back front bottom middle decoration board 3168 is lifted from the normal standby position as shown in FIG. Then, the front of the effect display device 1600 (in this example, part of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 rises so as to overlap the front of the effect display device 1600. In addition, by rising near the center of the effect display device 1600 The entire back front lower middle decorative body 3161 may be lifted so as to overlap with the front of the effect display device 1600.), and rotates about the axis in the front-rear direction.

As a result, during execution of the rainbow color effect, light emitting decoration by the LED and operation by the movable body (back front bottom middle decoration board 3168) are executed in front of the effect display device 1600, and the back front bottom middle decoration body 3161 is executed. A plurality of LEDs mounted on the back, front, bottom, and middle decorative substrates 3168 that are decorated with light emission change the light emission color every predetermined period (for example, 0.1 second), so it is possible to execute an effect that attracts a lot of attention. In addition, since the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 is exposed in front of the effect display device 1600, and the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 rotates while partially overlapping with the effect display device 1600, It is possible to make the player think that something good will happen, and to heighten expectations for the game.

In addition, when the rainbow effect is finished (timing t99), the rotation of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 about the longitudinal axis is stopped and the effect display device 1600 is lowered from the front to return to the normal standby position. Stop. In this example, in synchronism with the movement of the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 to the normal standby position, the effect display device 1600 is caused to generate the reach of the decorative pattern. In this way, the back front bottom middle decorative body 3161 exposed to the front of the effect display device 1600 is rotated while being decorated with light, so that part of the effect display device 1600 is covered and the back front bottom middle decorative body 3161 is covered. In order to attract the player's attention, it is possible to surprise the player when the reach of the decorative pattern occurs on the performance display device 1600 in synchronism with the movement of the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 to the normal standby position, thereby increasing expectations for a big win. .

As described above, when an abnormal state occurs during execution of the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, a plurality of ends the luminous decoration of the rainbow color production by the LED of . As a result, the rainbow effect is not performed in an imperfect form.

On the other hand, the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 does not stop operating even if an abnormal state occurs during execution of the rainbow color effect, and performs the same operation as in a state in which no abnormal state occurs. . In addition, even if an abnormal state occurs before the start of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, the operation will be performed at the timing of starting the original rainbow color effect in the same way as when the abnormal condition does not occur. It has become. That is, if the light emission control of the rainbow color effect cannot be realized in a complete form as designed, the light emission decoration by the plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front, lower, middle decoration board 3168 is stopped or not executed, but the rainbow color Operations that do not affect the luminous decoration of the presentation are executed as planned (as designed) without being interrupted. As a result, the player can be made to recognize that the variable performance is continuing, and the misunderstanding that the variable performance has ended due to the suspension of the rainbow-colored performance can be prevented from being given to the player.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 247, when an abnormality occurs at timing t6 during the execution of the rainbow color effect, the back front bottom middle decoration body 3161 is mounted on the back front bottom middle decoration substrate 3168 for luminous decoration. The lighting decoration of the rainbow color presentation by the plurality of LEDs of the 1st board light emission group to the 6th board light emission group provided on the game board 5 including the plurality of LEDs is ended and controlled to be turned off. Even when the door frame 3 is closed during execution of the rainbow color effect and the abnormality is resolved, the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect is not restored (the light emitting decoration of the rainbow color effect is not restarted). there is

On the other hand, even if an abnormality occurs at timing t6 (timing t6) when the back front bottom middle decorative body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow color effect, the operation of the back front bottom middle decorative body 3161 interlocks with the rainbow color effect. (timing t6 to timing t100). In this way, when an abnormality occurs during the execution of the rainbow color effect, the back front bottom middle decoration body 3161 continues the operation of the back front bottom middle decoration body 3161 while ending the light emission decoration of the rainbow color effect. The continuation of the operation makes the player aware of the continuation of the variable performance, thereby preventing the player from feeling uneasy.

In addition, even if an abnormality occurs in the variable performance for executing the rainbow color performance, and the abnormality is resolved before the rainbow color performance ends and the abnormal state returns to the normal state, the back front, bottom, middle decoration body 3161 is decorated with light. The luminous decoration of the rainbow color effect by the plurality of LEDs mounted on the back front lower middle decoration board 3168 is not restarted. In other words, if an abnormality occurs during the execution of the rainbow color effect in the variable effect that executes the rainbow color effect, and the abnormality is resolved before the rainbow color effect ends and the abnormal state returns to the normal state, the reverse In a light-off state in which the front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 is not decorated with light, an operation linked to the rainbow effect is performed. As a result, when the rainbow color effect display mode is displayed on the effect display device 1600, an abnormal state occurs in the variable effect for executing the rainbow color effect depending on whether or not the back front, bottom, middle decorative body 3161 is decorated with light emission. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of fraudulent acts and the like.

Depending on the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), whether or not to continue or start the operation linked to the rainbow effect of the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 may be changed, for example, as described above. For errors that have a small impact on the game, the operation linked to the rainbow color effect of the back front, bottom, middle decorative body 3161 is continued, or the operation linked to the rainbow color effect is executed as planned (operated at the timing set in the scheduler). On the other hand, for an error that seriously affects the game, the operation linked to the rainbow color effect of the back front, bottom, middle decorative body 3161 is stopped (after stopping the operation linked to the rainbow color effect, it returns to the normal standby position. ) or by controlling not to perform the operation linked to the previously scheduled (set in the scheduler) rainbow color effect, even during the execution of the variable effect You may make it interrupt or end a variable performance. As a result, the operating state of the back-front-lower-middle decorative body 3161 can be varied according to the degree of error, making it possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality.

Further, whether or not the display of the rainbow color effect display mode on the effect display device 1600 is to be disappeared may be changed according to the type of abnormal state (degree of urgency), and for example, the effect on the above-described game is small. Regarding the error, the display of the rainbow color effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 is not lost, and a warning display (for example, "the door is open" etc.) is displayed so that a part of the rainbow color effect display mode overlaps. For errors that have a serious effect on the performance display device 1600, the display of the rainbow color effect display mode is extinguished, and only a warning display (for example, "Illegal winning has occurred!") is performed. Even if there is, the display of the rainbow color effect (rainbow color effect display mode) may be interrupted or terminated. As a result, it is possible to change the display mode on the effect display device 1600 according to the degree of the error, and it is possible to determine the occurrence of an abnormality.

Further, as shown in the modified example 1 of the rainbow color effect, when executing a variable display with a high expectation of a big hit such as the decorative pattern becoming a reach after the rainbow color effect, always or at a predetermined rate The back front lower middle decoration body 3161 is operated in conjunction with the rainbow color presentation, and when the variable display with high expectation of big hit such as the decorative pattern does not become a reach after the rainbow color presentation is not executed, the back front is performed. The lower middle decorative body 3161 may not be operated in conjunction with the rainbow effect. As a result, expectations for a big hit can be improved if the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow color presentation, and the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 operates in conjunction with the rainbow color presentation. Even if it is not done, there is a possibility that the variation display with a high degree of expectation for the big win is executed, so that the expectation for the big win can be kept from being lost.

Further, although the above-described embodiments (all embodiments including modified examples 1 and 2) are related to the rainbow effect, the present technical concept can also be applied to effects other than the rainbow effect. For example, modification 2 can be applied not only to the case where the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 is operated in conjunction with the rainbow effect, but also to the case in which it is operated in conjunction with other effects.

[Golden effect]
Next, the golden effect will be explained. The golden effect in this example means that part or all of the characters, characters, patterns, etc. displayed on the effect display device 1600 are displayed in gold or a color close to gold (a color similar to gold (yellow in this example)). Along with the display, in conjunction with the gold display of the effect display device 1600, some or all of the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are changed to gold or a color close to gold (golden). A similar color (yellow in this example) emits gold light, and when the gold effect is executed, there is a high probability that it will be a big hit (for example, if it is a big hit (jackpot confirmed effect) or a big hit If the probability of becoming a hit is high (jackpot notice), if the decorative pattern becomes a reach (reach notice), it will be executed as a reach effect after the occurrence of the reach, suggesting that the probability of becoming a big hit is high, etc.) be.

In addition, when the golden effect is executed, it may always be a big hit (the degree of expectation for the big win is 100%), or it may be a big win that is executed both in the case of a big win and in the case of a loss. It may be the one with the second highest degree of expectation (for example, a rainbow color effect, a giraffe pattern, a zebra pattern, a ladybug pattern, etc. that is different from the usual background, characters, etc.). One effect with a high degree of expectation (for example, 80% to 100% of expectation for big win) may be included (eg, 60% or the like may be used as the degree of expectation for big win in the gold color effect)). That is, the plurality of performances corresponding to the degree of expectation of a big win may include a performance with a lower degree of expectation for a big win than the golden performance, or may include a performance with a higher degree of expectation for a big win than the golden performance. It may not include an effect with a higher degree of expectation for a big hit than the effect. In this way, the golden effect is an effect corresponding to a high degree of expectation for a big win, and the player can expect a big win when the golden effect is executed.

In the following, as a gold effect, gold display in the effect display device 1600, gold light emission by LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3, and gold light by LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 The gold display in the effect display device 1600, the gold light emission by the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3, and the various lighting devices provided on the game board 5 are shown. gold light emission by the LED of the decoration substrate, or any combination thereof.

For example, as shown in FIG. 248, when a variation pattern command is received from the main control board 1310 to instruct the start of a variation effect such as a variation display of decorative symbols (in this example, a variation effect for executing a gold effect) is received (FIG. 248 (A)), the variable display of the left, middle, and right decorative patterns is started to display the decorative patterns translucently, and at a predetermined notice timing, a treasure box is displayed as a character on the effect display device 1600, and characters (in this example, Then, "Treasure chest found!") is displayed (Fig. 248(B)). At this time, the decorative pattern is displayed in the upper layer (upper layer) of these characters and characters. It does not interfere with the visibility of characters and letters.

Then, based on the fact that a predetermined period of time has passed since the treasure box was displayed on the effect display device 1600, a mode of opening the treasure box is displayed (Fig. 248(C)). At this time, the effect display device 1600 displays a mode in which gold light (light of a color similar to gold) is emitted from the treasure box (gold display), and various types of light provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 are displayed. Among the LEDs of the decoration board, the LEDs arranged in the area corresponding to the light emitted from the treasure box displayed on the effect display device 1600 are caused to emit light in a color similar to gold (golden light emission). In this example, the upper lid of the treasure chest displayed on the effect display device 1600 is gradually rotated, and the mode of changing the amount of light leaking from the treasure chest according to the degree of opening of the treasure chest is displayed. Among the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the board 5, the LEDs arranged in the area corresponding to the light leaking from the treasure chest are caused to emit light in a color similar to gold (golden light emission). In FIG. 248(C), in synchronization with the rotation of the upper lid of the treasure box, the LEDs arranged above the upper tray 201 (not limited to all the LEDs arranged above the upper tray 201, Some LEDs among the plurality of LEDs arranged above (for example, the rear upper first decoration part 3211 in which the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged horizontally) are decorated with light. Of the LEDs (the LEDs mounted on the first decoration board on the rear upper side) may not emit gold light, the door frame left side unit 420 and the door frame right side unit 430 are gradually changed to gold from below. After that, the back front left decoration unit 3120, the back front right decoration unit 3140, the back front upper right logo decoration part 3142, and the door frame top unit 450 are similar to gold in order according to the degree of rotation of the upper lid of the treasure chest. to emit light in the desired color.

In FIG. 248(C), gold display and gold light emission are performed in conjunction with the operation of opening the treasure chest, and the light leaking (emitted) from the treasure chest displayed on the effect display device 1600 is displayed outside the effect display device 1600. Since it is possible to give the impression that it gradually spreads out, the relationship between the gold display of the effect display device 1600 and the gold light emission by LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 Even when the color displayed on the effect display device 1600 by the gold display and the light emission color of the LED by the gold light emission are similar but not the same color, the gold display and the gold light emission can be easily recognized. It can be recognized as representing the same color.

Next, as shown in FIG. 248(D), a gold nugget is taken out from the treasure chest displayed on the effect display device 1600, light is reflected on the surface of the gold nugget, and golden light (light of a color similar to gold) emerges from the gold nugget. ) is displayed (gold display). In addition, LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 arranged around the effect display device 1600 corresponding to the golden light emitted from the gold nuggets that display the gold bullion on the effect display device 1600 luminesce in a color similar to gold (golden luminescence). In FIG. 248(D), in addition to the door frame left side unit 420, the door frame right side unit 430, the back front left decoration unit 3120, the back front right decoration unit 3140, the back front upper right logo decoration part 3142, and the door frame top unit 450, In addition, the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the upper surface of the button body 351 arranged below the upper plate 201 and the outer peripheral surface, the unit upper cover 312, the left plate decoration 271, the right plate decoration 276, and the LEDs provided on the front lens 185 ( Not only all the LEDs arranged below the upper plate 201 but also some LEDs among the plurality of LEDs arranged below the upper plate 201 (for example, the handle decoration substrate 184 for making the handle front lens 185 emit light) A plurality of LEDs mounted on the LEDs) may not emit gold light, but emit light in a color similar to gold.

In addition, the light guide plate 3110 may be made to emit gold light in addition to the above gold light emission. 3128g for the light guide plate of the back front left decorative substrate 3128 in the back front left decoration unit 3120 and the back front right first decoration substrate in the back front right decoration unit 3140. 3148, the back front right second decorative substrate 3149, and the back front right light guide plate decorative substrate 3150 are caused to emit light to make the first pattern 3111 gold or a color close to gold (similar to gold). It may be made to emit light in color (yellow in this example). As a result, in addition to the spread in the horizontal direction of the gold display of the effect display device 1600 and the gold light emission of the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5, the effect display device 1600 is arranged in front of it. It is possible to display the spread in the front-rear direction by the light guide plate 3110, and it is possible to improve the presentation effect in the golden presentation.

When the golden effect is executed in this way, the gold display on the effect display device 1600 and the gold light emitted by the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 ( Only one of the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 may emit gold light. The relationship between the gold display on the performance display device 1600 and the gold light emission by the LED can be instantly recognized, and the performance with a sense of unity can be executed in the pachinko machine 1 as a whole. In addition, as described above, the gold effect suggests that the probability of winning a big win is high, so that the execution of the gold effect in the pachinko machine 1 as a whole can improve the player's expectation of the big win. It is possible to suppress the decline in amusement interest.

After the treasure box is displayed in FIG. 248(B), the treasure box is displayed based on the operation of the player (when the contact operation section 302 of the effect operation section 301 is rotated or when the pressing operation section 303 is pressed). It is also possible to display the state in which the treasure box is opened. It is also possible to display the mode in which the treasure box is opened at times. In other words, after the treasure box is displayed, the golden effect may be started according to the player's operation, the golden effect may not be executed unless the player operates, or the player does not operate. Even in this case, the golden effect may be started when the operation valid period has passed.

Further, in this example, the player can determine whether or not there is a possibility of a big win by operating the operation section such as the pressing operation section 303 of the presentation operation unit 300 during execution of the golden presentation. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 249(A), when a gold effect is being executed as a variable effect in a variable display with a high expectation of a big hit such as a decorative pattern becoming a reach, the gold effect is being executed. Even if the pressing operation part 303 of the performance operation unit 300 is pressed at the timing t3, the gold performance is continuously executed until the timing t4 without ending the gold performance.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 249(B), when the gold effect is not executed as a variable display with a high expectation of a big hit, such as the decorative pattern becoming a reach, the effect operation is performed at the timing t3 during execution of the gold effect. When the pressing operation portion 303 of the unit 300 is pressed, the golden effect is terminated at the timing t3 when the pressing operation portion 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed, and the effect display device 1600 displays a predetermined effect mode (for example, variable display of decorative patterns, etc.), and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 are displayed in a predetermined light emission mode (white in this example). light is emitted at the same time, but it is also possible to turn off some or all of them) to control light emission.

As a result, the possibility of a big win can be determined by operating the effect operation unit 300 when the golden effect is being executed, and the player can determine the possibility of a big win during the period from the timing t2 to the timing t4 when the golden effect is being executed. can induce the operator to positively press the operating section such as the pressing operating section 303 of the effect operating unit 300 . In addition, when the player operates the operation part such as the pressing operation part 303 during the period from timing t2 to timing t4 during which the golden effect is executed and determines that the degree of expectation for the big win is high, the game interest can be improved. can. It should be noted that the possibility of a big win can be determined according to whether the golden effect ends or continues when an operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated. When a specific operation part (for example, the contact operation part 302, the volume adjustment button 227, the light amount adjustment button 228, the steering wheel 195, etc.) is operated among the plurality of operation parts, the big hit depends on whether the golden effect ends or continues. You may enable it to determine the presence or absence of the possibility of becoming. For example, when the contact operation unit 302 is rotated, it is possible to determine whether there is a possibility of a big win depending on whether the golden effect ends or continues, or when the volume control button 227 is pressed. In addition, it is possible to determine whether there is a possibility of a big win according to whether the golden performance ends or continues, and whether the golden performance ends or continues when the light amount adjustment button 228 is pressed. It is possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of a big win depending on whether the handle 195 is rotated and the game ball is hit, and the possibility of a big win depending on whether the golden effect ends or continues. It may be one that enables determination of the presence or absence of gender, or the like.

Further, it is not limited to the one that can determine the possibility of a big win according to whether the golden effect ends or continues when the above-described specific operation unit is operated, and a plurality of detections provided in the pachinko machine 1. When detection is made by a specific detection means (for example, the first start sensor 3002, the second start sensor 2401, the handle touch sensor 192, etc.) among the means, the big hit depends on whether the golden effect ends or continues. You may enable it to determine the presence or absence of the possibility of becoming. For example, when the game ball that entered the starting hole (first starting hole 2002 and second starting hole 2004) is detected by the starting hole sensor (first starting hole sensor 3002 and second starting hole sensor 2401), the golden effect It is possible to determine whether there is a possibility of a big win depending on whether the game ends or continues, and when the handle touch sensor 192 detects that the palm, fingers, etc. are touching, the golden effect ends. It may be possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of winning a big hit depending on whether the game continues or not. In this case also, the player can be induced to play so that detection by the specific detection means is performed during the period from timing t2 to timing t4 during which the golden effect is executed. In addition, when the detection by the specific detecting means is performed during the period of timing t2 to timing t4 during which the golden effect is executed and it is determined that the degree of expectation for the big hit is high, the game interest can be improved.

In addition, after the golden effect is terminated based on the operation of the operation part such as the pressing operation part 303 during execution of the golden effect, the effect display device 1600 displays the effect information unrelated to the golden effect. may This allows the player to recognize that the gold presentation has ended, and to grasp that the degree of expectation for a big win is low and that there is no possibility of a big win. Further, when the effect display device 1600 displays effect information irrelevant to the gold effect after ending the golden effect based on the operation of the operation part such as the pressing operation part 303, the effect information is not related to the golden effect. The display of the effect information may also be terminated in accordance with the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303, or during the execution of the display of the effect information unrelated to the gold effect, If the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is not operated for a long period of time, the display of the effect information unrelated to the gold effect may be terminated. Further, after the display of the effect information unrelated to the golden effect executed by the effect display device 1600 is completed, when a predetermined start condition is met (for example, the operation of the pressing operation unit 303 or the like is performed for a predetermined period of time). When the part is not operated, or when the non-variation performance period in which the variation performance is not executed reaches a predetermined period, etc.), the golden performance may be started again. As a result, the lighting mode and the display mode of the golden performance are imprinted in the mind of the player, and the expectation that the variable performance with a high expectation of a big hit will be executed when the gold performance is executed in the variable performance to be executed thereafter. can be held to operate the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 . In addition, on the condition that the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 has not been operated for a predetermined period during the execution of the display of the effect information unrelated to the gold effect being executed by the effect display device 1600, the gold color When the display of the effect information unrelated to the effect is configured to end, the predetermined period is reset ( The predetermined period may be reset and counted from 0 again). In this case, by repeatedly resetting the predetermined period during which the display of effect information unrelated to the gold effect can be executed and operating the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 within the predetermined period, It is possible to delay the timing of resuming the golden presentation or prevent the golden presentation from being executed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the gold effect from being performed for a player who does not desire the execution of the gold effect, and to suppress the decline in the interest in the game.

Also, in FIG. 249(B), when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during execution of the golden effect, the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 After finishing the luminous decoration of the gold effect on the LEDs of the various decoration boards provided in the display device 1600, the golden effect display mode, etc. end the effect display. As a result, sudden switching of the display contents in the effect display device 1600 can be suppressed, and the display contents can be switched while leaving the reverberation of the effect display such as the golden effect display mode.

Further, a predetermined sound may be output when the pressing operation section 303 of the presentation operation unit 300 is pressed during execution of the golden presentation. After outputting a predetermined sound based on the operation, a predetermined period (golden effect If the specified sound is output at the same timing as the end of the luminous decoration, the specified period will be the same as the timing from the end of the luminous decoration of the gold effect, and the predetermined timing will be different from the timing of the end of the luminous decoration of the golden effect. In the case of outputting a sound, the effect display such as the gold effect display mode in the effect display device 1600 may be ended at a timing delayed by a period different from the predetermined period from the timing when the luminous decoration of the gold effect is finished. Also in this case, when a predetermined sound is output, the display contents of the performance display device 1600 are prevented from being suddenly switched, and the display contents are switched while leaving the reverberation of the performance display such as the golden performance display mode. can be done.

Also, when the pressing operation unit 303 of the effect operation unit 300 is pressed during execution of the golden effect, LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 and various types of LEDs provided on the door frame 3 After finishing the luminous decoration of the gold effect in the LEDs of the decoration board, the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 again emit light in the gold effect. You may start decorating. In this case, after finishing the luminous decoration of the gold effect on the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 and the LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3, the effect display device 1600 Before ending the effect display such as the golden effect display mode (while continuing the effect display such as the gold effect display mode in the effect display device 1600), the LEDs and doors of various decorative substrates provided on the game board 5 again. The LEDs of the various decorative substrates provided on the frame 3 may start emitting gold-colored light-emitting decorations. As a result, the disappointment of players who are discouraged by the fact that the expectation of a big win is low and that there is no possibility of winning a big win due to the end of the luminous decoration of the golden effect is improved, and the player pays attention to the golden effect again. can be made

Further, in addition to the above example, the presence or absence of the possibility of a big win may be determined by changing the sound output mode during execution of the golden effect. For example, if a golden effect is executed as a variable display with a high degree of expectation for a big hit, such as the decorative pattern becoming a ready-to-win, the sound output in a manner corresponding to the golden effect is executed, while the decorative pattern becomes a ready-to-win. If the golden effect is not executed as a variation display with a high expectation of a big hit, the sound output of another mode is executed without executing the sound output of the mode corresponding to the golden effect, or the sound output is not executed. can be Also in this case, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of a big win by the execution of the golden performance and the mode of the sound output, and when it is determined that the degree of expectation for the big win is high, the amusement of the game can be improved.

In this example, prior to the golden effect, the LEDs that decorate the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged horizontally are controlled to emit light. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 249A and 249B, the CPU of the peripheral control IC in the peripheral control board 1510 receives the variation pattern command from the main control board 1310 at timing t0 and decorates the effect display device 1600. In the period of timing t1 after the start of the variable performance such as the variable display of the pattern, the rear upper first decoration part 3211 in which the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged horizontally is turned off. When the timing t1 before the start of the golden effect is reached, the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged left and right in advance of the golden effect. 3211 is controlled to emit red light, and when timing t2 comes, the golden effect is started. As light emission control of the five 7-segment display parts of the back and upper movable decoration 3210 performed prior to the golden effect, for example, the start timing of the golden effect is counted down, or blinking is displayed in a predetermined light emission mode (big hit). It may be stopped at a numerical value indicating probability, etc.). Further, a dot matrix display portion may be provided as the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211. In this case, a predetermined character (such as hot!) is displayed as a display performed prior to the golden effect, Predetermined characters may be displayed so as to flow repeatedly from right to left on the dot matrix display section.

In addition, the red emission control of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is continued even after the end of the golden effect. As a result, it is possible to increase the expectation of a big hit in the ready-to-win performance or the like executed after the end of the golden performance. In this way, in order to control the light emission of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 prior to the golden effect, and to continue to control the light emission of the rear upper upper first decorative portion 3211 even after the end of the golden effect, the execution is performed in advance. Expectation for the start of the golden performance can be heightened by the light emission control of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 which is turned on, and the expectation for the big win can be heightened by the light emission control of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 even after the end of the golden performance. be able to.

In addition, the light emission control of the back rear upper first decoration part 3211 is started at least prior to the golden effect, and it may be continued even after the end of the golden effect, and the variable display of the decorative pattern is started. It may be started at any timing between the timing t0 to start the golden effect and the timing t2 to start the golden effect (including the one in which the light emission control is started at the timing t0), or the decorative pattern from the timing t4 to end the golden effect. may be terminated at any timing between the timing t5 at which the variable display of is stopped (including when the light emission control is stopped at the timing t5). As a result, whether or not the variable display of the decorative pattern is to be executed can be determined by the light emitting state of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 . In addition, even if the variable display of the decorative pattern is stopped (timing t5), if the variable display of the decorative pattern is started again before the predetermined period elapses, the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is controlled to be turned off. Alternatively, the light emitting state may be continuously controlled without the light emitting state. In this case, it can be determined from the luminous state of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 that the variable display of the decorative pattern is continuously performed. In addition, when the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is displayed blinking or moved, the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is blinked or moved at the timing t1 preceding the golden effect. When the blinking display or moving display is stopped at any timing from the timing t2 after the start of the golden effect to the timing t5 (including the timing t5) at which the variable display of the decorative patterns is stopped, and the variable display of the decorative patterns is started again. Then, the display content of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 may be updated to resume blinking display or moving display (timing t0). Even in this case, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of the variable display of the decorative pattern based on the presence or absence of blinking display or moving display in the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 .

Thus, in this example, a high-expectation golden effect with a high probability of a big win or a possibility of a big win and a low-expectation golden effect with a low probability of a big win or no possibility of a big win are executed. It's like It should be noted that, as described above, the gold effect is not limited to the one in which both the gold display and the gold light emission are performed in conjunction, but may be the one in which only one of the gold display and the gold light emission is performed. , when one of gold display and gold light emission is executed as a high-expectation golden effect, even if the operation of the operation unit by the player is detected during the execution of the high-expectation golden effect, the high-expectation gold Continue to execute the production (gold display and gold light emission, which have been executed before the player operates, etc., continue even after the operation). will end the low-expectation-level gold effect when it detects the operation of the operation unit by the player during the execution of the low-expectation-level gold effect (the gold display and the gold light emission are executed before the player operates). end). With this configuration, it is possible to encourage the player to operate the operation unit and the like, and to actively participate in the game, thereby preventing the player from losing interest in the game.

During the execution of the high-expectation golden effect and the low-expectation gold effect, the effect sound is output in a manner corresponding to the gold effect. When the operation unit or the like is operated during execution of the low-expectation golden presentation, the low-expectation gold presentation is terminated and the output of the presentation sound is terminated. On the other hand, even if you operate the operation part, etc. during the execution of the high-expectation gold effect, the high-expectation gold effect will not end, so the sound effect will continue to be output until the high-expectation gold effect ends. It's becoming At least a part of the mode of the effect sound output during the execution of the high-expectation golden effect and the mode of the effect sound output during the execution of the low-expectation gold effect is made different. (For example, in the high-expectation golden production, a specific golden sound mode is output, and in the low-expectation gold production, a non-specific golden sound mode that is different from the specific golden sound mode (only partly different from the specific golden sound mode It may be similar as a whole, or it may be completely different from the specific golden sound mode), or output a dramatic sound in the high-expectation gold production, and output the production sound in the low-expectation gold The production may be one that does not output a production sound, etc. In this case, it is possible to determine whether the high-expectation gold production is being executed or the low-expectation gold production is being executed, depending on the mode of the production sound. To surely discriminate whether a high-expectation golden presentation is executed or a low-expectation golden presentation is executed according to whether the golden presentation ends or continues when an operation part or the like is operated, although there is a possibility. be able to

Depending on whether or not specific image information is to be displayed on the effect display device 1600 based on detection of the player's operation, it is determined whether either the high-expectation gold effect or the low-expectation gold effect is being executed. It may be made possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 250, when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated during the execution of the low-expectation golden effect (FIG. 250(B)), the specified While the image information 1600a is displayed (FIG. 250(D)), the specific image information 1600a may not be displayed when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated during execution of the highly anticipated golden effect. . By configuring in this way, it becomes possible to determine whether the low-expectation gold effect is being executed or the high-expectation gold effect is being executed, depending on whether or not the specific image information 1600a is displayed. , the player's operation can be urged to actively participate in the game, thereby suppressing the decline in the interest in the game.

In addition, when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated again while the specific image information 1600a is being displayed, the certain period during which the specific image information 1600a can be displayed may be reset. The display period may be reset and measured from 0 again). For example, when the specific image information 1600a is displayed for 5 seconds based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303, the display period of the specific image information 1600a (when the specific image information 1600a is displayed) is displayed. If the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated again within 5 seconds after the operation is performed, the specific image information 1600a is displayed for 5 seconds from the timing when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated again. By doing so, the display period of the specific image information 1600a may be extended. This prevents the player from overlooking the specific image information 1600a displayed on the effect display device 1600. FIG. Also, even if the display period of the specific image information 1600a has not reached the above-described certain period of time (for example, 5 seconds), if a predetermined condition is satisfied ), the display of the specific image information 1600a may be terminated when the above-described abnormal state occurs, etc. In this case, the display of the specific image information 1600a is displayed at the above-described constant It is possible to grasp that the predetermined condition has been satisfied by ending before reaching the period.

Further, as shown in FIG. 250(D), the specific image information 1600a can be displayed even after the end of the low-expectation golden effect until the above-mentioned fixed period (for example, 5 seconds) elapses. As a result, the specific image information 1600a can be displayed even when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated just before the end of the low-expectation gold presentation. In other words, the player can surely recognize that the low-expectation golden presentation has been executed.

Further, in the above example, the specific image information 1600a is displayed when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated during execution of the low-expectation golden effect. The specific image information 1600a may be changed based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. FIG. For example, a character is displayed as the specific image information 1600a on the effect display device 1600 based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 during execution of the low-expectation golden effect (FIG. 250(B)). After that, when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is further operated, the character as the specific image information 1600a is changed to an inflated mode (gets thicker) (FIG. 250(C)), and the pressing operation unit 303 and the like are changed. 250 (B) to 250 ( D)). In this way, not only whether or not the specific image information 1600a is displayed according to the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303, but also whether the specific image information 1600a is displayed according to the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 can be determined. You may make it change in steps. As a result, it is possible to reliably make the user aware that the specific image information 1600a is being displayed on the effect display device 1600 during execution of the low-expectation golden effect, and to recognize that the low-expectation gold effect is being executed. Even in such a case, the disappointment can be alleviated by the character change as the specific image information 1600a.

Also, a character as the specific image information 1600a may be displayed when any one of the plurality of operating sections is operated. In this case, when the first operating section among the plurality of operating sections is operated, 250(C)), and the specific image information 1600a is changed based on the operation of the second operation unit among the plurality of operation units. The character as the information 1600a may be changed to wither (become thinner) (FIG. 250(C)). As a result, it is possible to reliably make the user aware that the specific image information 1600a is being displayed on the effect display device 1600 during execution of the low-expectation golden effect, and to recognize that the low-expectation gold effect is being executed. Even in such a case, the disappointment can be alleviated by the character change as the specific image information 1600a. Further, by operating one of the first and second operation units among the plurality of operation units, the body shape of the character as the specific image information 1600a changes to the maximum value (body type 6) or minimum value (body type 1). However, by operating the other one of the first operation portion and the second operation portion among the plurality of operation portions, the body shape of the character as the specific image information 1600a can be changed from the maximum value (body type 6) to the minimum value (body type 1). , or from the minimum value (body type 1) to the maximum value (body type 6).

Further, when the variable display for executing the high-expectation golden effect is started on the effect display device 1600, the specific image information is displayed based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 even before the high-expectation gold effect is executed. 1600a may not be displayed. As a result, the player's expectation for the big win can be heightened before execution of the high-expectation golden performance, and the player's attention can be made to pay attention to the high-expectation golden performance, thereby improving the amusement of the game.

In addition, when the low-expectation golden effect is being executed, a specific sound (for example, a “beep” output when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated) is generated in response to the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. or a sound corresponding to the operation of the specific image information 1600a (for example, in FIGS. 250(B) to 250(D), a sound such as a "beep" corresponding to the change in weight or weight of the specific image information 1600a)) may be output. As a result, when the low-expectation golden effect is being executed, the specific sound can be output in relation to the display of the specific image information 1600a to make the player notice the change in the display of the specific image information 1600a. Discouragement can be alleviated. Further, even when the high-expectation golden effect is being executed, the above-described specific sound may be output according to the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. In this case, the pressing operation unit 303, etc. Although the specific image information 1600a is not displayed on the effect display device 1600 by operating the operating section , the pressing operating section 303 or the like is operated by outputting a specific sound in accordance with the operation of the operating section such as the pressing operating section 303 or the like. It is possible to make the player recognize that the operation of the unit is surely accepted, and to improve the game interest of the player who recognizes that the high-expectation golden presentation is being executed.

Further, in response to the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303, a specific sound (for example, an electronic sound such as "beep" that is output when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated, or the operation of the specific image information 1600a 250(B) to 250(D), the specific image information 1600a is to be output. A specific sound may be output prior to the change in the display of , and then the display of the specific image information 1600a displayed on the effect display device 1600 may be changed. With this configuration, it is possible to change the display of the specific image information 1600a by notifying the change of the display of the specific image information 1600a by the specific sound, making the player aware in advance, and changing the display of the specific image information 1600a. It is possible not to overlook changes in the display of the information 1600a.

Further, when the low-expectation golden effect is being executed, it is possible to specify which of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 can execute the above-described gold light emission according to the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. The light emission mode of the LEDs mounted on the decorative substrate may be changed (for example, change of light emission color, change of light emission pattern (blinking interval, etc.), change of brightness, etc.). In this case as well, when the low-expectation golden effect is being executed, the light emission mode of the LEDs mounted on the specific decoration board is changed in relation to the display of the specific image information 1600a. It is possible to make the player aware of the change in the player's disappointment. Also in this case, prior to the change in the display of the specific image information 1600a, the light emission mode of the LEDs mounted on the specific decorative board is changed (for example, the color of light emitted, the pattern of light emission (blinking interval, etc.) is changed, and the brightness is changed. change, etc.). With this configuration, the change in the display of the specific image information 1600a is notified by changing the light emission mode of the LED mounted on the specific decoration board, and the specific image information 1600a is notified to the player in advance. can be changed, and it is possible not to miss the change in the display of the specific image information 1600a.

Further, when the specific image information 1600a is displayed based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 during the execution of the low-expectation golden effect, it is executed based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. The specific image information 1600a may be displayed after the middle low-expectation golden effect is finished. By configuring in this way, not only the display of the specific image information 1600a, but also the end of the low-expectation gold-colored presentation can make it possible to recognize that the low-expectation gold-colored presentation has been executed, and the expectation of a big win is low. It is possible to suppress the decrease in the interest in the game due to the endless execution of the expected golden performance.

Further, in the above example, when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated during execution of the high-expectation golden effect, the specific image information 1600a is not displayed. If an abnormality occurs in the pachinko machine 1 even during When the light emitted by the LED becomes difficult to see), and when a vibration sensor (not shown) detects the vibration of the game board 5 continuously for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) (an action such as hitting the pachinko machine 1 is performed). When it is detected that the pachinko machine 1 is vibrating, the light emitted by LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and the display of the effect display device 1600 blur and are difficult to visually recognize. state), when a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is input (when it is detected that the lower tray 202 is filled with game balls), the ball cutting detection sensor 574 When a minor error occurs, such as when a detection signal is input (an error with a low possibility of a goto act, such as when it is detected that there is no game ball in the guide passage 570a), When radio wave irradiation is detected (when electromagnetic waves or the like cause noise in the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5, or when noise is present in the display of the effect display device 1600) , When the magnet goto is detected, when the detection signal from the second start opening sensor 2401 is input when the second start opening 2004 is not open, when it is not in the big winning game state or the small winning game state, the big winning opening When a detection signal from the sensor 2402 is input, when a serious error such as an error with a high possibility of a fraudulent act occurs) When a specific condition is satisfied, a specific image The information 1600a may be displayed, or after the specific image information 1600a is displayed, the display mode of the specific image information 1600a may be changed based on the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. may With this configuration, even when it is difficult to hear the specific sound, the display of the specific image information 1600a and the change in the display mode of the specific image information 1600a can reliably accept the operation of the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. can be recognized, and the game interest of the player who recognizes that the high-expectation gold presentation is being executed can be improved.

Here, metallic luster such as gold cannot be displayed by a single display element (only one display element) in a display device such as the effect display device 1600 or the like. Therefore, in this example, the effect display device 1600 expresses gold by displaying an image obtained by effect-processing yellow, which is a color close to gold. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 251(A), in this example, in the case where the effect display device 1600 performs graphic processing to display a gold color representing metallic luster such as gold, yellow characters, characters, patterns, etc. It can be displayed with gradual differences in brightness (gradation), star-shaped, diamond-shaped, radial, etc. glows (parts that represent luster and are lighter in color than the surroundings (whitish parts)), and shading. By displaying (dark shadows) or the like, the luster of the metal is expressed, and it is possible to recognize that the gold display is performed only by the gold display of the effect display device 1600. there is

In the same way, even in light emitters such as lamps and LEDs, it is not possible to reproduce gold with a single light-emitting element (only one light-emitting element). It is designed to express For example, as shown in FIG. 251(B), a plurality of LEDs may emit a common yellow color, but a predetermined number of LEDs may emit yellow light with different brightness in stages (gradation), or all of the plurality of LEDs may emit yellow light. are emitted in a common color (yellow), some LEDs are caused to emit white light to represent the glow, or the LEDs arranged on the extension of the radial glow displayed on the effect display device 1600 are close to gold. Light is emitted in an emission color such as yellow and other colors are extinguished, or the brightness of the emission color of the LED arranged on the extension of the radial glow displayed on the effect display device 1600 is increased (bright such as pale yellow). While emitting light (yellow), by reducing the brightness of LEDs that are not arranged on the extension of the radial glow (dark yellow such as blackish yellow) and emitting light, metallic luster can be expressed or displayed on the effect display device 1600. It can be made to recognize that gold light emission is performed in association with the gold display. In addition to these, or instead of these, the surface mounting surface of the board on which the LED is mounted may be a member (such as a lens member having a multifaceted shape) having two surfaces, an outer member and an inner member. A double lens member or the like consisting of two members may be used, and in this case, the degree of lens cut (number of surfaces, size, etc.) of the outer member and the inner member may be different. By using a lens member or a double lens with different degrees of lens cut, the refraction of light becomes irregular and the feeling of glitter can be improved. To express the luster of gold, metal, etc. by diffusing the light from an LED or generating a high-luminance area where light is collected and a low-luminance area where light is avoided. It is also possible, and by arranging such a lens-cut member, it is possible to recognize that gold light is being emitted, and the lens-cut member deteriorates the visibility behind the member. It is possible to make it difficult to see the surface mounting surface of the substrate, the electronic components mounted on the surface mounting surface, the surface side writing part, etc., and the deterioration of the game interest due to the visual recognition of information unrelated to the game. can be suppressed. Alternatively, the boundary between one surface and the other surface of the multifaceted lens-cut member may be arranged so as to overlap the surface-side notation portion, whereby an image viewed through the lens-cut member. can be distorted, making it difficult to see the surface-side inscription. Furthermore, in this example, in conjunction with the gold display on the effect display device 1600, the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 emit gold light, so that the gold display and the gold light emission By generating a synergistic effect, the player can be made to recognize that gold display and light emission are performed at a high rate.

A back front lower left inner decoration substrate 3169 for luminous decoration of 3163, a back front lower left outer decoration substrate 3170 for luminous decoration of the back front lower left outer decoration 3164, and a back front lower right inner decoration 3165. A back front lower right inner decoration substrate 3171 for luminous decoration, a back front lower right outer decoration substrate 3172 for luminous decoration of the back front lower right outer decoration 3166, and a back front right logo decoration part 3141 are luminous decorated. , a back front right upper decoration substrate 3151 for luminous decoration of the back front upper right logo decoration portion 3142, and five 7-segment display portions of the back rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are lined up on the left and right. A rear upper first decoration substrate (not shown) on which LEDs for decorating the rear upper first decoration part 3211 are mounted, and a surface on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted (LED mounting surface) , is coated with white solder resist (protective material).

Among the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and mounted with a plurality of LEDs, a specific decorative substrate capable of executing the golden light emission, that is, the door frame top center decorative substrate 455 of the door frame top unit 450, and the door frame top center decorative substrate 455 A frame top left decorative board 456, a door frame top right decorative board 457, a door frame left side upper decorative board 422 of the door frame left side unit 420, and a door frame left side lower decorative board 423 of the door frame left side unit 420. , the plate left decorative substrate 273 provided on the rear side of the plate left decorative lens 272, the door frame right side lower decorative substrate 433 of the door frame right side unit 430, and the plate right decoration provided on the rear side of the plate right decorative lens 277. The substrate 278, the door frame right side upper decorative substrate 432 of the door frame right side unit 430, and the like are coated with a white solder resist (protective material) on the surface on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted (LED mounting surface). be.

In the specific decorative board provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3, electronic devices such as LEDs to be mounted are coated on a white solder resist (protective material) coated on the surface (LED mounting surface) on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted. Characters and symbols (electronic component part numbers) to avoid confusion with components and other decorative substrates, attributes of front electronic components such as the area indicating the position where electronic components are placed (furthermore, the shape of the front electronic components , the size of the front-side electronic components, the mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the front-side electronic components, and the model of the front-side electronic components. , bright colors such as yellow and yellow-green) are applied by screen printing. In other words, the LED mounting surface of the specific decoration substrate among the plurality of decoration substrates provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protection mask), which is the color with the highest reflection efficiency. Materials) are coated, and characters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts) to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as mounted LEDs and other decorative substrates, areas indicating the positions where electronic parts are arranged, etc. Attributes of the front side electronic components (furthermore, the shape of the front side electronic components, the size of the front side electronic components, the mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the front side electronic components, and the model of the front side electronic components may be included.) The surface-side writing portion shown is applied by screen printing using ink of a color with high brightness and saturation (for example, a bright color such as yellow or yellow-green).

As described above, in the golden presentation, the LEDs mounted on these specific decorative substrates are effect-processed to emit yellow in the same manner as the surface-side notation portion, thereby emitting gold light. Coating the surface of a specific decorative board with a white solder resist (protective material), and causing a plurality of LEDs mounted on the specific decorative board to emit light in the same color as the surface-side notation formed on the LED mounting surface. , not only can the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface be improved, but also the light emitted from the plurality of LEDs can be suppressed from being attenuated by the surface side notation portion, so that gold light emission can be clearly performed with high brightness. By forming the surface-side notation using yellow, which has a similar reflection efficiency to white, the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface can be made nearly uniform, and the light emitted from the LED can be directed to the specific decorative substrate The light is uniformly reflected on the LED mounting surface of (1) to suppress the occurrence of illuminance unevenness, thereby enhancing the presentation effect in gold presentation and suppressing the deterioration of game interest.

Among the specific decoration substrates provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3, the decoration substrates other than the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged in the left-right direction. is mounted with a full-color LED, and emits gold light when the above-described gold effect is executed. On the other hand, among the specific decorative substrates, the first decorative substrate (not shown) on the rear upper side is mounted with only a single-color LED (red in this example), and even when the golden effect is performed, the upper rear side In the five 7-segment display portions of the movable decorative body 3210, only characters, numbers, patterns, etc., are displayed in the same luminescent color (red in this example) as when the golden effect is not executed without emitting gold light. , and an effect different from the golden effect is executed. In other words, in the five 7-segment display portions of the rear-upper movable decorative body 3210 for displaying characters, numbers, patterns, etc., the characters, numbers, patterns, etc. are displayed by not changing the luminous color even if the golden effect is executed. , etc., are displayed in a state that is easy for the player to see, thereby preventing erroneous information from being conveyed to the player. It should be noted that while the golden effect is being executed, the monochromatic LEDs mounted on the back rear upper first decoration substrate among the specific decoration substrates may not be controlled to emit light. light emission control of the full-color LEDs mounted on the decoration substrates other than the first decoration substrate on the back and the top among the specific decoration substrates provided in the pachinko machine 1, so that the entire pachinko machine 1 emits light in a unified emission color (golden emission). It is possible to enhance the performance effect.

In addition, both monochromatic LEDs and full-color LEDs may be mounted on the rear upper first decoration substrate. In this case, one of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decoration substrate The single-color light-emitting LED is made to emit light in the same color as when the golden presentation is not executed without emitting gold light even during the execution of the golden presentation, or is turned off during the execution of the golden presentation. On the other hand, the full-color LEDs among the plurality of LEDs mounted on the back-upper first decorative substrate may emit gold light.

In this example, a white solder resist (protective material) is coated on the surface (LED mounting surface) on which the LEDs of the specific decoration board provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 are mounted, and the LEDs of the specific decoration board are mounted. On the surface where the LED is mounted (LED mounting surface), letters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts) to avoid confusion with electronic parts to be mounted and other decorative substrates, areas indicating the positions where electronic parts are arranged, etc. Attributes of the front side electronic components (furthermore, the shape of the front side electronic components, the size of the front side electronic components, the mounting direction of the front side electronic components (mounting direction), and the model of the front side electronic components may be included.) The surface-side writing portion shown is screen-printed using ink of a color with high brightness and saturation (for example, a bright color such as yellow or yellow-green). In addition, in this example, a white solder resist (protective material) is also coated on the back surface (LED non-mounting surface) of the specific decoration board provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 where the LED is not mounted, and further the specific decoration board On the back side where the LED is not mounted (LED non-mounted side), the above-mentioned back side writing part is screen-printed using ink with high brightness and saturation (for example, bright colors such as yellow and yellowish green). is applied by Therefore, the LED non-mounting surface of the specific decoration substrate is mounted on another decoration substrate (a decoration substrate other than the specific decoration substrate, or may be another specific decoration substrate among a plurality of specific decoration substrates). When light is emitted from the LED, the emitted light can be reflected with high efficiency and used efficiently, thereby suppressing a decrease in the amount of light. In addition, a solder resist (protective material) of a different color (for example, dark color such as green or black) from the surface where the LED is mounted (LED mounting surface) on the back surface where the LED is not mounted (LED non-mounting surface) of the specific decorative board ) may be coated, or the back surface side inscription portion may be screen-printed using an ink having a low brightness or saturation (for example, black, green, etc.).

As described above, the game panel 1100 of the game board 5 has a transparent flat plate-like panel plate 1110 whose outer circumference is slightly larger than the inner circumference of the frame-shaped front component member 1000 and the panel plate 1110 . and a frame-like panel holder 1120 that holds the outer periphery of the front component 1000 and has the back unit 3000 attached to the rear surface thereof. The front structural member 1000 is transparently formed together with the game panel 1100 as described above. As a result, the existence of various members arranged behind the game panel 1100 can be visually recognized through the game panel 1100 from the front of the front component member 1000 (that is, the front of the game board 5) (hereinafter referred to as It may be described as a “transparent game panel 1100”).

In addition, the front unit 2000 attached to the front surface of the game panel 1100 includes, as described above, the front component member 1000 that defines the outer periphery of the game area 5a, and the game panel 1100 that defines the rear end side of the game area 5a. , the starter unit 2100, the side unit 2200, the side upper left unit 2300, the first attacker unit 2400, the center role 2500, the second attacker unit 2600, the side right middle unit 2700, and the gate member 2800 are almost entirely transparent. formed. For this reason, for example, as shown in FIG. 134, in a normal state, the back front left decoration unit 3120 and the back front right decoration unit 3120 of the back front effect unit 3100 in the back unit 3000 arranged behind the game panel 1100 are passed through them. Decoration unit 3140, back front bottom middle decoration 3161, back front bottom left inner decoration 3163, back front bottom left outer decoration 3164, back front bottom right inner decoration 3165, back front bottom right of the decoration unit 3140 and back front bottom effect unit 3160 The exterior decoration 3166, the back front and bottom logo decoration 3167, the back rear top movable decoration 3210, the back rear left side decoration 3220, the back rear right side decoration 3230, etc. of the back rear up production unit 3200 are clearly visible. In addition, the effect image displayed on the effect display device 1600 can be visually recognized well through the frame of the center accessory 2500 .

For example, in the back front left decoration unit 3120, behind the transparent game panel 1100, there are a back front bottom middle decoration 3161, a back front bottom left inner decoration 3163, a back front bottom left outer decoration 3164, and a back front bottom right. Transparent decorations such as an inner decoration 3165 and a back front lower right outer decoration 3166 are arranged, and a back front left decoration substrate 3128 is arranged behind these transparent decorations. A plurality of full-color LEDs capable of emitting multicolor light are mounted on the front surface (surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3128 . In this way, behind the transparent game panel 1100, there are a back front bottom middle ornament 3161, a back front bottom left interior decoration 3163, a back front bottom left exterior decoration 3164, a back front bottom right interior decoration 3165, and a bottom left interior decoration 3165. A transparent decoration body called the back front lower right outer decoration body 3166 and a back front left decoration substrate 3128 are arranged in this order. The front surface (surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3128 is coated with a white coating film (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as “solid white resist”) formed by applying a white resist liquid. A white resist layer is formed. On the white resist solidly painted on the front surface (surface) of the back front left decorative substrate 3128, the surface of the part numbers of the front side electronic components such as a plurality of full color LEDs, the area indicating the position where the front side electronic components are arranged, etc. Indicates the attributes of the electronic component on the front side (may also include the shape of the electronic component on the front side, the size of the electronic component on the front side, the mounting orientation of the electronic component on the front side (mounting direction), and the type of the electronic component on the front side). The surface-side notation portion is printed in yellow (a color similar to the gold color of the plurality of obstacle nails N (in this embodiment, brass is used)) by silk printing.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 137, in the game area 5a of the game board 5, there are a plurality of obstacle nails N (in this embodiment, brass is used) which are in contact with the game balls and have a gold color in a predetermined gauge arrangement. ) are planted on the transparent game panel 1100, it is possible to utilize the attractiveness of the plurality of gold-colored obstacle nails N. In other words, since a plurality of gold-colored obstacle nails N are planted on the front surface of the transparent game panel 1100, the player is arranged behind the transparent game panel 1100 due to the attractiveness of the plurality of gold-colored obstacle nails N. Through the transparent decorations of the back front lower middle decoration 3161, the back front lower left inner decoration 3163, the back front lower left outer decoration 3164, the back front lower right inner decoration 3165, and the back front lower right outer decoration 3166. , even if the front surface (surface) of the back front left decorative board 3128 can be visually recognized, the yellow (multiple obstacle nails N This contributes to making it difficult to understand the presence of the surface side inscription part of the color similar to the gold that the .

Similar to the back front left decorative unit 3120, the back front right decorative unit 3140 also contributes to obscuring the presence of the front surface side inscription portion. In other words, since a plurality of gold-colored obstacle nails N are planted on the front surface of the transparent game panel 1100, the player is arranged behind the transparent game panel 1100 due to the attractiveness of the plurality of gold-colored obstacle nails N. Through transparent decorations such as the back front right logo decoration portion 3141 and the back front right logo decoration portion 3142 of the back front right decoration unit 3140, the back front right upper decoration substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decoration substrate 3152 of the back front right decoration unit 3140 are passed through. Even if the front surface (surface) of the back front right decoration unit 3140 can be visually recognized, silk printing is performed on the white resist that is solidly applied to the back front right decoration substrate 3151 and the back front right decoration substrate 3152 of the back front right decoration unit 3140. This contributes to making it difficult to recognize the presence of the front-side notation portion in yellow (a color similar to the gold color of the plurality of obstructing nails N).

Further, for example, in a state in which a plurality of full-color LEDs capable of emitting multicolor light mounted on the front surface (surface) of the back front left decoration substrate 3128 of the back front left decoration unit 3120 is turned off, the surface of the back front left decoration substrate 3128 is turned off. The surface-side inscription portion formed in yellow similar to gold on the white coating film formed on the back is attached to the back front lower middle decoration 3161, the back front lower left inner decoration 3163, and the back front of the back front left decoration unit 3120. Although visible through the transparent decorations of the lower left outer decoration 3164, the back front lower right inner decoration 3165, and the back front lower right outer decoration 3166, and the transparent game panel 1100, the back front left decoration substrate The white coating film formed on the surface of 3128 serves as a white background, so that the obstacle nail having gold color is planted on the surface of the transparent game panel 1100 arranged in front of the surface of the back front left decorative substrate 3128. Due to the eye-catching property of N, the line of sight is naturally guided from the surface of the back front left decorative substrate 3128 to the obstacle nail N having a gold color. As a result, even when the back front left decorative board 3128 is used as a kind of decoration that can be visually recognized by the player, the eyes of the obstacle nail N having gold color are attracted to the surface of the back front left decorative board 3128. Since it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the white coating film formed on the surface of the game machine, the world view of the game machine does not easily collapse. Therefore, deterioration of decorativeness can be suppressed.

In addition, similarly to the back front left decorative unit 3120, the back front right decorative unit 3140 can also be prevented from being decorative. That is, in a state in which a plurality of full-color LEDs capable of emitting multicolor light mounted on the front surface (surface) of the back front upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decorative substrate 3152 of the back front right decoration unit 3140 are turned off, the back front The front-side inscription portion formed in yellow similar to gold on the white coating film formed on the surfaces of the upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the lower right decorative substrate 3152 is decorated with the back front right logo of the back front right decoration unit 3140. It is formed on the surface of the back front upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decorative substrate 3152, although it is visible through the transparent decorations of the portion 3141 and the back front upper right logo decoration portion 3142, and the transparent game panel 1100. The white coating film becomes a white background, so that a golden obstacle is planted on the surface of the transparent game panel 1100 arranged in front of the front upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the lower right decorative substrate 3152 . Due to the attractiveness of the nail N, the line of sight is naturally guided from the surface of the back front upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decorative substrate 3152 to the obstacle nail N having gold color. As a result, even when the back front upper right decorative board 3151 and the back front lower right decorative board 3152 are used as a kind of decoration that can be visually recognized by the player, the eye is drawn to the obstacle nail N having a gold color. Since the white coating film formed on the front upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the lower right decorative substrate 3152 can be made difficult to see, the world view of the gaming machine is less likely to collapse. Therefore, deterioration of decorativeness can be suppressed.

In this example, a plurality of gold-colored obstacle nails N are planted on the front surface of the transparent game panel 1100. Instead, a transparent cell sheet having a predetermined shape is attached to the front surface of the game panel 1100. However, by applying a gold design to a part of this cell sheet (the same color as the gold color of the plurality of obstacle nails N or a color close to this gold color), etc., the part with this gold design is attractive. Depending on the nature, for example, a back front bottom middle decoration 3161, a back front bottom left inner decoration 3163, and a back front bottom left outer decoration in the back front left decoration unit 3120 arranged behind the gold design part. The front surface (surface) of the back front left decoration substrate 3128 in the back front left decoration unit 3120 can be visually recognized through the transparent decorations of the body 3164, the back front lower right inner decoration 3165, and the back front lower right outer decoration 3166. If possible, through transparent decorations such as the back front right logo decoration part 3141 and the back front upper right logo decoration part 3142 in the back front right decoration unit 3140 arranged behind the part with the gold design, the back front Even if the front surfaces (surfaces) of the back front upper right decoration substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decoration substrate 3152 in the right decoration unit 3140 can be visually recognized, the back front left decoration substrate 3128 and the back front left decoration substrate 3128 in the back front left decoration unit 3120 can be visually recognized. Yellow (similar to the gold color of the part designed on the cell sheet) is silk-printed on the white resist that is solidly coated on the back front upper right decoration substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decoration substrate 3152 in the back front right decoration unit 3140. color) may be made difficult to recognize.

Even when configured in this manner, the front surface (front surface) of the back front left decoration substrate 3128 of the back front left decoration unit 3120 and the back front upper right decoration substrate 3151 and the back front lower right decoration substrate 3152 of the back front right decoration unit 3140 can be used. In a state where a plurality of full-color LEDs capable of emitting multicolor light to be mounted are turned off, the white coating film formed on the surface of the back front left decorative substrate 3128, the back front upper right decorative substrate 3151, and the back front lower right decorative substrate 3152 The front side inscription portion formed in yellow similar to gold is the back front lower middle decoration 3161, the back front lower left inner decoration 3163, the back front lower left outer decoration 3164, and the back front of the back front left decoration unit 3120. Transparent decorations such as the lower right inner decoration 3165 and the back front lower right outer decoration 3166, transparent decorations such as the back front right logo decoration part 3141 and the back front upper right logo decoration part 3142, and the transparent game panel 1100 Although it can be seen through the front left decorative substrate 3128 , the upper right decorative substrate 3151 and the lower right decorative substrate 3152 , the white coating film formed on the surface of the back front left decorative substrate 3152 serves as a white background. The part with a gold design on the cell sheet pasted on the surface of the transparent game panel 1100 placed in front of the decoration board 3128, the back front right top decoration board 3151, and the back front right bottom decoration board 3152. Due to the attractiveness, the line of sight can be naturally guided from the surfaces of the back front left decorative substrate 3128, the back front right upper decorative substrate 3151, and the back front right lower decorative substrate 3152 to the portion of the cell sheet designed in gold. As a result, even when the back-front-left decorative substrate 3128, the back-front-right upper decorative substrate 3151, and the back-front-right lower decorative substrate 3152 are used as a kind of decoration visible to the player, the gold color applied to the cell sheet is By drawing attention to the design portion of , the white coating film formed on the surfaces of the back front left decorative substrate 3128, the back front upper right decorative substrate 3151, and the back front lower right decorative substrate 3152 can be made difficult to see. The world view of the game machine is hard to collapse. Therefore, deterioration of decorativeness can be suppressed.

In addition, the surface of at least the 7-segment display part of the rear upper first decoration part 3211 in which the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 are arranged horizontally (the surface of the rear upper first decoration part 3211) The game panel 1100 in front of the game panel 1100 may not be planted with obstacle nails. By configuring in this way, it is possible to suppress the visual recognition of the 7-segment display portion of the back upper first decorative portion 3211 from being hindered by the obstacle nail N, and the 7-segment display portion of the back upper first decorative portion 3211 can be suppressed. Since information such as characters, numbers, and patterns to be displayed can be easily seen by the player, the information displayed on the 7-segment display section can be reliably conveyed to the player. Moreover, in addition to this, an LED is mounted for lighting the rear upper first decoration part 3211 in which the five 7-segment display parts of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged horizontally. For one decorative substrate, at least the surface (LED mounting surface) on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted (LED mounting surface) may be coated with a dark-colored (black, green, purple, etc.) solder resist (protective agent) (the back surface on which no LEDs are mounted). (The LED non-mounting surface may also be coated with a similar solder resist), thereby suppressing light interference on the surface (LED mounting surface) on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted on the rear upper first decorative substrate. As a result, the light emitted from each of the plurality of LEDs can be individually identified, so that information such as characters, numbers, and patterns can be clearly displayed on the 7-segment display section. In addition, on the surface (LED mounting surface) on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted on the rear upper first decorative substrate, each of the plurality of LEDs is partitioned to suppress light interference. It may be formed integrally with the decorative portion 3211, or may be formed separately from the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211). Since the light emitted from the display can be more clearly identified, information such as characters, numbers, and patterns can be clearly displayed on the 7-segment display section.

In addition, in the rear rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in the rear rear effect effect unit 3200 of the rear unit 3000, a metallic decorative portion 3211a having a golden metallic luster (a mesh in FIG. 252) is provided so as to surround the 7-segment display portion. hanging part) is formed. The golden metallic luster of the metal decorative portion 3211a can impart a sense of luxury, and the luminance can be increased by reflecting the light emitted from the lamps and LEDs provided around the rear upper first decorative portion 3211. is now possible.

In addition, even when the golden effect is executed as described above, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 do not emit gold light, and the golden effect is displayed. , a different effect (displaying letters, numbers, patterns, etc. in the same luminescent color (red in this example) as when the gold effect is not executed) is executed. In this way, the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 do not emit gold light even when the gold effect is executed, but are formed so as to surround the 7-segment display portions. The metal decorative portion 3211a having a golden metallic luster reflects the light of a color similar to gold (yellow in this example) emitted from the lamps and LEDs provided around the rear upper first decorative portion 3211. The light of a color similar to gold (yellow in this example) emitted from the lamps and LEDs provided around the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 has a golden metallic luster. By reflecting the light on the metal decoration part 3211a holding the light, the player can easily recognize that gold light is being emitted.

The metal decoration portion 3211a is formed by hot-stamping a metal foil of a predetermined color (gold in this embodiment). More specifically, first, an intermediate product before completion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is molded by injection molding of synthetic resin. The intermediate product of the formed rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is mounted at a predetermined position of the hot stamping device. At this time, a transfer sheet having a desired metal foil and a flat plate-shaped hot plate whose lower surface side is elastic and heated to a predetermined temperature are placed above the intermediate product of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 . are placed. Then, the hot plate is lowered to a position a predetermined distance below the upper end of the intermediate product of the rear upper first decorative portion 3211, and the metal foil of the transfer sheet is transferred (foil stamped) by the heat of the hot plate. As a result, the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 is formed with the metal decorative portion 3211a.

The hot plate of the hot stamping device used to form the metal decorative portion 3211a of the present embodiment has elasticity at a portion that abuts on the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 to which the metal foil of the transfer sheet is to be transferred. Therefore, even if the transfer destination (the front surface of the back upper first decorative portion 3211) is not flat but curved, it can be elastically deformed along the surface, and can be applied to a three-dimensional shape such as a curved surface. Also, the metal foil can be transferred (foil-stamped) in good condition. As a result, the metal decorative portion 3211a can be easily formed without requiring large-scale equipment, and an increase in cost can be suppressed, as compared with the case of forming the metal decorative portion 3211a by plating or vapor deposition. A metal film may be formed by plating or vapor deposition on the surface of the intermediate product before completion of the back rear upper first decorative portion 3211 .

In addition, in this example, a metallic decorative portion (metal decorative portion 3211a ) is formed, but it is not limited to single-color LEDs, but it is also possible to form a metal decoration part with a golden metallic luster on the decoration body equipped with full-color LEDs, or to execute gold light emission during the execution of the golden effect. A metal decoration portion having a golden metallic luster may be formed on a part of the plurality of decorations provided with full-color LEDs. By forming a metal decoration part having a golden metallic luster on a decorative body provided with a full-color LED, the metallic decoration has a golden metallic luster when another performance is executed although the golden light is not emitted in the golden performance. When the full-color LED provided on the decorative body in which the part is formed is illuminated, it is reflected by the metal decoration part formed around this LED and can be recognized as gold light emission. For the player who recognizes that is being executed, the expectations for the big win can be improved, and the game interest can be improved. In addition, when a metal decoration portion having a golden metallic luster is formed on some of the plurality of decoration bodies provided with full-color LEDs for executing a golden effect, the metallic decoration portion having a golden metallic luster is formed. By reflecting light of a color similar to gold (yellow in this example) emitted from lamps and LEDs provided around the decoration on which is formed, to the metal decoration having a golden metallic luster In addition to making it easier to recognize that gold light is being emitted, light of a color similar to gold emitted from a full-color LED provided on a decorative body in which a metallic decorative portion having a golden metallic luster is formed. (Yellow in this example) can be reflected by the metal decorative portion formed around the LED and recognized as gold light emission, so that the player can easily recognize that gold light emission is being performed.

Also, in the above example, during the execution of the gold effect, a light emission effect of a color similar to gold (yellow in this example) is executed. Although the metal decoration part is formed on the decoration body, in a game machine capable of executing a specific effect of controlling light emission with a specific emission color, a color corresponding to the specific emission color (a color that can be recognized as the same or a color that is similar A decorative portion having a glossy color (for example, gray and silver) may be formed on the decorative body. By configuring in this way, among a plurality of types of effects executed by the game machine, a special valued effect is obtained by matching the specific luminescent color with the specific glossy color formed on the decorative part of the decorative body. can be executed, and the interest in the game can be enhanced by making the player guess that the expectation of a big win is high when the specific effect of controlling the light emission with the specific emission color is executed. In addition, when the specific effect is executed as described above, not only the plurality of light emitting means (lamps, LEDs, etc.) are controlled to emit light in a specific emission color, but also the characters, characters, and patterns displayed on the effect display device 1600 are controlled. In order to display some or all of the above in a specific color, characters, characters, patterns, etc. displayed in a specific color on the effect display device 1600 and a plurality of light emitting means (lamps, LEDs, etc.) that emit light in a specific color are used. In conjunction with this, the pachinko machine 1 as a whole (partially may be of a different color) can execute an effect representing a specific color, and the specific color represented by the effect display device 1600 and the light emission color of the light emitting means can be executed. Even if the displayed specific color is not the same, the relevance can be easily recognized, and the high expectation of a big hit can be recognized, thereby improving the game amusement.

In addition, in the rear rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in the rear rear effect unit 3200 of the rear unit 3000, a metallic decorative portion 3211a having a golden metallic luster (the shaded portion in FIG. 252) surrounds the 7-segment display portion. ) is formed, the front surface (front surface) of the rear upper first decorative substrate can be visually recognized through the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 due to the attractiveness of the gold-colored metal decorative portion 3211a. Even so, the presence of the front-side marking part in yellow (a color similar to the gold color of the plurality of obstacle nails N) silk-printed on the white resist solidly coated on the first decorative substrate on the rear back side is made difficult to understand. contributing to that.

Through holes, lands, and the like are formed on the front surface (front surface) of the rear upper first decorative substrate. Through-holes, lands, and the like are conspicuous from the white paint film because the copper foil is exposed. Since the line of sight is naturally guided from the front surface (surface) of the back to the metal decoration part 3211a provided (formed) on the back upper first decoration substrate, it is provided (formed) on the back upper first decoration substrate. By attracting the eye to the metal decorative portion 3211a, the existence of through holes, lands, etc. can be made difficult to recognize. To increase the degree of freedom in drawing wiring patterns of a rear-back-upper first decorative substrate without being restricted by the positions, sizes and numbers of holes and lands, and to shorten the time required for artwork work. can also contribute to

252, the front surface (surface) of the back-front-lower middle decoration body 3161 provided in the back-front-lower effect unit 3160 is formed with a metal decoration part 3161a having a metallic luster, and the metal decoration part 3161a is formed. The whole except for is formed transparently. The metal decoration part 3161a has a predetermined color (gold in this embodiment), and is silk-printed on a white resist that is solidly coated on the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decoration substrate 3168. Since the surface-side marking portion that enables identification of possible full-color LEDs has yellow, the color (yellow) of the front-side marking portion is similar to the color (gold) of the metal decoration portion 3161a. there is

In addition, on the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decoration board 3168 corresponding to the metal decoration part 3161a of the back front lower middle decoration body 3161, a full-color LED capable of emitting multicolor light is not mounted, whereas the metal decoration part 3161a is not mounted. A full-color LED capable of emitting multicolor light is mounted on the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 corresponding to the transparent area of the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 excluding the .

In a state where the full-color LED capable of emitting multicolor light is turned off, the white coating film formed on the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 is replaced by the back front lower middle decorative body 3161 with metallic luster. Although it can be seen through the transparent region excluding the metal decorative portion 3161a, the white coating film formed on the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decorative substrate 3168 becomes a white background. Due to the attractiveness of the color (gold) of the metal decoration portion 3161a, the line of sight is natural from the front surface (front surface) of the back front lower middle decoration substrate 3168 to the metal decoration portion 3161a provided (formed) on the back front lower middle decoration body 3161. will be induced to As a result, the eyes are attracted to the metal decoration portion 3161a provided (formed) on the back front lower middle decoration body 3161, and the white coating film formed on the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decoration substrate 3168 It is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the surface-side inscription portion. Therefore, the concept of the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5) (that is, the world view of the pachinko machine 1 (game board 5)) is unlikely to collapse. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the game interest.

In addition, through holes, lands, and the like are formed on the front surface (surface) of the back, front, lower, middle decorative substrate 3168 . Through-holes, lands, and the like are conspicuous from the white paint film because the copper foil is exposed. Through holes formed on the front surface of the back front lower middle decoration board 3168 are naturally guided to the metal decoration part 3161a provided (formed) on the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 from the front surface (surface) of the back front lower middle decoration body 3161 , lands, etc. can be obscured, and when performing an artwork work that draws the wiring pattern of the back front, bottom, middle decorative board 3168, the position, size, and number of through holes and lands are not restricted. As a result, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in routing the wiring pattern of the back front, lower, and middle decorative substrate 3168, and it is also possible to contribute to shortening the time required for artwork work.

In addition, when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko machine 1 during execution of the golden effect (when the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 is detected (when the opening of the door frame 3 causes various When it becomes difficult to visually recognize the light emitted by the LED of the decorative board), and when a vibration sensor (not shown) detects the vibration of the game board 5 continuously for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) (acts such as hitting the pachinko machine 1 When it is detected that is being performed, the pachinko machine 1 vibrates, so that the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and the display of the effect display device 1600 are blurred and visually recognized. When the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is input (when it is detected that the lower tray 202 is full of game balls), the ball cut detection sensor 574 A minor error such as when a detection signal from is input (error with a low possibility of a goto act such as detecting that there is no game ball in the guide passage 570a) has occurred When radio wave irradiation is detected (electromagnetic waves or the like cause noise in the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5, or noise is present in the display of the effect display device 1600). case), when the magnet goto is detected, when the detection signal from the second start opening sensor 2401 is input when the second start opening 2004 is not open, when it is not a big hit game state or a small hit game state When a detection signal from the prize winning opening sensor 2402 is input, when a serious error such as an error with a high possibility of a goto act occurs, etc.), an LED that emits gold light when the gold effect is executed. of the specific decoration substrates that are mounted on the game board 5 (the back front upper left decoration substrate 3129 for making the back front upper left logo decoration portion 3122 emit light, the back front left logo decoration portion 3121, the back front upper left A back front left decoration substrate 3128 for luminous decoration of the logo decoration portion 3122 and the back front left sub decoration portion 3123, a back front bottom logo decoration substrate 3173 for luminescence decoration of the back front bottom logo decoration 3167, and a back side.

Alternatively, the lighting pattern may be changed based on the occurrence of an abnormality (for example, the type of abnormality may be displayed, etc.). In this way, the game board 5 and the door frame 3 are coated with a white solder resist (protective material), and the surface (LED mounting surface) of the specific decorative substrate on which the LED is mounted has an electronic component mounted on it. Characters and symbols (electronic component part numbers) to avoid confusion with components and other decorative substrates, attributes of front electronic components such as the area indicating the position where electronic components are placed (furthermore, the shape of the front electronic components , the size of the front-side electronic components, the mounting orientation of the front-side electronic components (mounting direction), and the model number of the front-side electronic components.) For example, among the specific decorative substrates screen-printed using ink of a bright color such as yellow or yellowish green, the specific decorative substrate that mounts an LED that emits gold light when the gold effect is executed ends the gold light emission. Although the light emission is controlled in the mode of extinguishing or in an abnormal state, the rear upper first decoration substrate provided in the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 are arranged horizontally. , the display is continued (the predetermined lighting pattern is continued until the fluctuation time elapses). As a result, even when an abnormality occurs, it is possible to know the information by displaying the information about the game. Of the serious errors described above, if a very serious error that makes it difficult to continue the game due to an abnormality in the main control board 1310 occurs, the five 7-segment display parts of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 will be displayed. The lighting pattern of a plurality of LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decoration substrate provided in the rear upper first decoration portion 3211 arranged in the left and right direction is changed to display according to the type of abnormality, or the rear rear is displayed. Even if the plurality of LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decorative substrate provided in the rear upper first decorative portion 3211 in which the five 7-segment display portions of the upper movable decorative body 3210 are arranged left and right are extinguished. Well, in this case, it becomes possible to immediately judge the degree of abnormality.

In addition, in this example, while the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 is accepted even during execution of the golden effect, at the timing when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, one of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 is specified. It is possible to change (adjust) the amount of light of the LED mounted on the decoration board. Specifically, when the button marked with the character "+" of the two light amount adjustment buttons 228 is pressed, a specific decoration substrate among the plurality of decoration substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 is immediately selected. The LED becomes brighter (intensifies the light intensity), and when the button marked with the character "-" is pressed, the LED of the specific decorative substrate among the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 is immediately dimmed (light intensity weakening).

Note that when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated under specific conditions, the result of the light amount adjustment may be reflected at a timing later than the timing at which the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated. For example, as shown in FIG. 253 (A), when a gold effect is executed as a variable effect in a variable display with a high degree of expectation for a big hit, such as when the decorative pattern becomes a reach (when a high-expectation gold effect is executed 2), when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated to change the brightness from 3 to 4 at timing t'3 during execution of the golden effect, the door frame is opened at timing t'3 when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated. The brightness is changed to 4 at the timing t'4 when the gold effect is completed without changing (adjusting) the light amount of the LED mounted on the specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the game board 3 and the game board 5. may

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 253(B), when the gold effect is not executed as a variable effect in the variable display with a high expectation of a big hit such as the decorative pattern becoming a reach (the low-expectation gold effect is executed case), when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated to change the brightness from 3 to 4 at timing t'3 during execution of the gold effect, at timing t'3 when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated The light quantity of the LED mounted on a specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 may be changed to the luminance of 4 .

In this way, when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated under specific conditions, the result of the light amount adjustment is reflected at a timing later than the timing at which the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, so that the state of the game machine and the big win can be achieved. Since it is possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of a game, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the game.

At timing t'3 when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated in FIG. 253(B), the light amount of the LED mounted on a specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 is changed. In this case, the low-expectation golden effect is ended at timing t'3 when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, and one of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 (the door frame 3 or the game board 5, or a predetermined number of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5) to change the light emission mode of the LED mounted on the For example, it may be lit in white at a constant brightness, lighted in a light emission mode different from gold light emission, or the blinking interval may be changed (lengthened). This makes it possible to easily adjust the amount of light. That is, when the LED mounted on the specific decorative board among the plurality of decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 emits gold light, the light amount of the LED mounted on the specific decorative board changes with the passage of time. It is difficult to grasp the current amount of light, so it cannot be said that the state is suitable for adjusting the amount of light. At the timing t'3 when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, the low-expectation golden effect is finished, and the LED mounted on one of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 is turned on, for example, with a constant brightness. By emitting light at the time, the current amount of light can be easily grasped and the amount of light can be easily adjusted to the player's preference. In addition, at the timing t'3 when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated, the low-expectation golden effect is terminated, and one of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 (provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5) It may be all of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the predetermined number of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the game board 5). Any one of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 (all of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 may be used) with the brightness after adjustment according to the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 However, the LEDs mounted on a predetermined number of decoration boards among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 may be made to emit light. The brightness after adjustment can be confirmed by light emission from an LED mounted on one of the plurality of decoration boards provided in 5, and the brightness can be easily adjusted to the player's preference.

In addition, as a specific condition for reflecting the result of the light amount adjustment at a timing later than the timing at which the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated as described above, when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during execution of the high-expectation golden effect. Alternatively, when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the execution of the low expectation performance, the result of the light amount adjustment is reflected after the end of the high expectation gold performance or the low expectation gold performance, or the light amount adjustment during the execution of the specific reach performance. When the button 228 is operated, the result of the light amount adjustment is reflected after the end of the specific reach effect, the above-described abnormal state (not limited to all abnormal states, but a specific abnormal state (for example, the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4) When the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the occurrence of the abnormal state, the result of the light amount adjustment is reflected after the abnormal state ends. Any one or an arbitrary combination of reflecting the result of the light amount adjustment after the setting change process is completed when operated may be used. In this case as well, the state of the gaming machine, the possibility of a big win, etc. can be determined by the timing of reflecting the result of the light amount adjustment, so that the loss of interest in the game can be suppressed.

In addition, in this example, the operation of the volume control button 227 is accepted even during the execution of the golden effect, and at the timing when the volume control button 227 is operated, the top center speaker and top side speaker of the door frame 3 and the main body frame 4 It is possible to change (adjust) the volume of sound for presentation such as music, voice, sound effect, etc., output from the main body frame speaker 622 for bass. Specifically, when the button with the character "+" of the two volume control buttons 227 is pressed, the top central speaker and top side speaker of the door frame 3 and the bass speaker of the main body frame 4 are immediately activated. The volume of the production sound such as music, voice, sound effect, etc. output from the main body frame speaker 622 is increased, and when the button with the character "-" is pressed, the top center speaker of the door frame 3 and The volume of sound for presentation such as music, voice, sound effect, etc. output from the top side speaker and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4 is made small.

Note that when the volume control button 227 is operated under specific conditions, the result of the volume control may be reflected at a timing later than the timing at which the volume control button 227 is operated. For example, as shown in FIG. 254 (A), when a gold effect is executed as a variable effect in a variable display with a high degree of expectation for a big hit, such as when the decorative pattern becomes a reach (when a high-expectation gold effect is executed ), when the volume control button 227 is operated to change the volume from 3 to 4 at timing t''3 during execution of the golden effect, the door is opened at timing t''3 when the volume control button 227 is operated. Without changing (adjusting) the volume of sound for production such as music, voice, and sound effect output from the top center speaker and top side speaker of the frame 3 and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass of the main body frame 4, The volume may be changed to 4 at the timing t''4 when the golden effect is finished, or the volume may be changed to 4 at the timing t''5 when the variable effect is finished.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 254(B), when the gold effect is not executed as a variable effect in the variable display with a high degree of expectation for a big hit, such as the decorative pattern becoming a reach (the low-expectation gold effect is executed case), when the volume control button 227 is operated to change the volume from 3 to 4 at timing t''3 during execution of the golden effect, at timing t''3 when the volume control button 227 is operated The volume of sound for production such as music, voice, and sound effect output from the top center speaker and top side speaker of the door frame 3 and the main body frame speaker 622 for low bass of the main body frame 4 is changed to volume 4. may

In this way, when the volume control button 227 is operated under a specific condition, the result of the volume control is reflected at a timing later than the timing at which the volume control button 227 is operated, so that the state of the game machine and the big win can be achieved. Since it is possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of a game, it is possible to prevent a decrease in interest in the game.

At timing t''3 when the volume control button 227 is operated in FIG. 254(B), music is output from the top central speaker and top side speaker of the door frame 3 and the main body frame speaker 622 for bass sound of the main body frame 4. In the case of changing the volume of sound for presentation such as voice, sound effect, etc., the low-expectation gold presentation may be ended at timing t''3 when the volume control button 227 is operated. This makes it possible to easily adjust the volume. That is, when the LED mounted on a specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 emits golden light, the player cannot concentrate on adjusting the volume, and the player can adjust the volume to his liking. It is difficult to adjust, and it is difficult to grasp the current volume because the sound for production changes with the passage of time, so it is not suitable for volume adjustment. At the timing t''3 when the volume control button 227 is operated, the low-expectation golden effect is terminated, and the LED mounted on one of the plurality of decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 is turned on, for example, with a constant brightness in white. By making it emit light or not outputting a sound for effect, the player can easily concentrate on adjusting the volume and adjust the volume to his liking. If the low-expectation golden effect is terminated in 3 and the effect sound is not output, the confirmation sound may be output at the adjusted volume according to the operation of the volume control button 227. In this case, the volume after adjustment can be confirmed by the confirmation sound, and the volume can be easily adjusted to the player's preference.

In addition, as a specific condition for reflecting the result of the volume adjustment at a timing later than the timing at which the volume adjustment button 227 is operated as described above, when the volume adjustment button 227 is operated during execution of the high-expectation golden effect Alternatively, when the volume control button 227 is operated during the execution of the low expectation performance, the result of volume adjustment is reflected after the end of the high expectation gold performance or the low expectation gold performance, or the volume adjustment during the execution of the specific reach performance. When the button 227 is operated, the result of the volume control is reflected after the specific reach effect is completed. If the volume control button 227 is operated during the occurrence of the abnormal state, the result of the volume control is reflected after the abnormal state ends. Any one or an arbitrary combination of reflecting the result of the volume adjustment after the end of the setting change processing when operated may be used. In this case as well, the state of the gaming machine and the possibility of a big win can be determined by the timing of reflecting the result of the volume adjustment, so that the decline in the interest in the game can be suppressed.

Further, in the above example, among the plurality of operation units provided in the pachinko machine 1, a specific operation unit (for example, the pressing operation unit 303, the contact operation unit 302, the volume control button 227, the light amount control button 228, the handle 195, etc.) is operated. In some cases, when detection is made by a specific detection means (for example, the first start opening sensor 3002, the second start opening sensor 2401, the handle touch sensor 192, etc.) among the plurality of detection means provided in the pachinko machine 1, the golden effect is performed. Although the presence or absence of the possibility of a big hit can be determined depending on whether it ends or continues, the effect operation unit 350 is operated in the variable effect such as the variable display of the decorative pattern executed by the effect display device 1600 is displayed (operation prompting display, for example, "press the button!") is performed, and the effect display device 1600 (display mode (appearance of character, change of background color, change of display color, etc.)) is not executed, the first of the plurality of operation units provided in the pachinko machine 1 When a specific operation unit (for example, pressing operation unit 303, contact operation unit 302, etc.) is operated, or the first specific detection means among the plurality of detection means provided in the pachinko machine 1 (for example, the first start opening sensor 3002, the second start mouth sensor 2401, handle touch sensor 192, etc.), the first specific light emitting means provided in the pachinko machine 1 (for example, the LED 364a of the decorative board 364 in the button) emits light (emission color, brightness, light emission pattern , blinking interval, switching between lighting state and light-out state, etc.) changes, and whether the second specific operation unit among the plurality of operation units provided in the pachinko machine 1 (for example Volume control button 227, light amount control button 228, handle 195, etc.) or by the second specific detection means (for example, general winning hole sensor 3001, gate sensor 2801, etc.) among the plurality of detection means provided in the pachinko machine 1 When the detection is made, the first specific light emitting means provided in the pachinko machine 1 (for example, the LED of the back front upper left decorative board 3129 provided on the game board 5 and the LED of the door frame top center decorative board 455 provided on the door frame 3 etc.) (e.g., one or more of luminescent color, brightness, luminescent pattern, blinking interval, switching between lit state and off state, etc.). It may be made possible to distinguish between the presence or absence of gender .

For example, when an operation unit such as the push operation unit 303 is pressed during execution of the high-expectation golden effect, the light emission mode of the LED 364a of the button interior decoration substrate 364 is not changed (the change in light emission mode is not allowed). When the operating unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed a predetermined number of times (one time or a plurality of times) during execution of the low-expectation golden effect, the LED 364a of the button decoration board 364 is turned off from the lighting state. The central portion of the upper surface portion 351a of the button main body 351, that is, the pressing operation portion 303 may be changed from the lit state to the extinguished state (allowing a change in the light emitting state), or , luminance, light emission pattern, blinking interval, switching between lighting state and light-out state, etc.), and when the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during the execution of the above-mentioned high-expectation golden effect does not change the light emission mode of the LED that emits gold light mounted on a specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 (does not allow change in the light emission mode), while the low-expectation gold effect When the light amount adjustment button 228 is operated during execution, the brightness of the gold-emitting LED mounted on a specific decoration board among a plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 is changed more than before the operation ( (It may be any one or more of luminescent color, brightness, luminescent pattern, blinking interval, switching between lit state and off state, etc.). In this case, the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed a predetermined number of times (one time or a plurality of times) during execution of the low-expectation golden effect to turn the LED 364a of the button middle decoration board 364 from the ON state to the OFF state. , the LED 364a of the decorative board 364 inside the button is changed from the off state to the on state when the depressing operation portion 303 is again pressed a predetermined number of times (one time or a plurality of times). Alternatively, each time the pressing operation portion 303 is pressed a predetermined number of times (one time or a plurality of times), the LED 364a of the button decoration substrate 364 is alternately turned on and off. Alternatively, if the pressing operation unit 303 is not pressed for a predetermined period after the LED 364a of the button decoration board 364 is changed from the ON state to the OFF state, the LED 364a of the button decoration board 364 is turned on. Alternatively, the brightness may be changed stepwise according to the operation of the light amount adjustment button 228 (when the "+" side is pressed, the brightness is changed toward brightness 6, and when the "-" side is pressed, the brightness is changed toward brightness 1). may be changed).

It should be noted that any operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 may be used as long as the light emission effect such as the high-expectation gold effect and the low-expectation gold effect is executed at the timing of pressing the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303. is pressed, after the end of the low-expectation golden effect, the luminance of the LED that emits gold light that is mounted on a specific decoration substrate among a plurality of decoration substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 is changed. good too. That is, in the low-expectation golden effect, when the operation unit such as the pressing operation unit 303 is operated, the lighting mode of the LED mounted on the specific decoration substrate among the plurality of decoration substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5 is changed. Although the change is allowed, the change in the light emission mode of the LED mounted on the specific decoration substrate among the plurality of decoration substrates provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 is not limited to the change during execution of the low-expectation golden effect. , It may be performed after the end of the low-expectation golden effect.

In addition, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decorative board 320, the ring-shaped button external decorative board 355, and the button inner decorative board 364 provided in the effect operation unit 350 have a surface mounting surface (a surface on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted, an LED Mounting surface) is coated with white solder resist (protective material), and on the white solder resist coated on the surface mounting surface, electronic components such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates may be confused with each other. Characters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts) to avoid The mounting orientation (mounting direction) of front-side electronic components and the type of front-side electronic components may be included. etc.) by screen printing.

On the other hand, the board on which the volume control button 227 and the light amount control button 228 are provided has a dark color (green, black, etc.) solder resist (protective material) on the surface mounting surface (surface on which the volume control button 227 and the light amount control button 228 are provided). ) is coated on the surface mounting surface, and letters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts), electronic Attributes of front-side electronic components such as the area indicating the position to place the component (furthermore, the shape of the front-side electronic component, the size of the front-side electronic component, the mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the front-side electronic component, the front-side electronic component ) is applied by screen printing using white ink. In this way, in this example, the board on which the first specific light-emitting means provided in the first specific operation part and which changes the light emission mode when the first specific operation part is operated is mounted, and the second specific operation part Is a board on which a first specific light emitting means whose light emission mode changes during operation is mounted in order to make the colors of the solder resist and the surface side notation part different from the board on which is provided, or a second specific operation part during operation It becomes easy to determine whether the board is mounted with the second specific operation unit that changes the light emission mode of the LED mounted on the specific board on which is not provided. In addition, a plurality of LEDs may be mounted on the surface mounting surface of the board on which the volume control button 227 and the light amount control button 228 are provided. In this case, even if the light amount control button 228 is operated, the volume A plurality of LEDs mounted on the surface mounting surface of the substrate on which the adjustment button 227 and the light amount adjustment button 228 are provided may always emit light with constant luminance without changing the luminance.

Also, during the execution of the movable effect that moves the movable decoration, a specific operation unit (for example, the pressing operation unit 303, the contact operation unit 302, the volume adjustment button 227, the light amount adjustment button 228) among the plurality of operation units provided in the pachinko machine 1 , handle 195, etc.) or detection by a specific detection means (for example, the first start sensor 3002, the second start sensor 2401, the handle touch sensor 192, etc.) among the plurality of detection means provided in the pachinko machine 1 It may be possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of a big win depending on whether the movable effect is terminated or continued when the game is performed. For example, during execution of a high-expectation movable effect with a high probability of winning or a possibility of winning (for example, the back and upper movable decoration 3210 moves from the raised position to the lowered position covering a part of the front of the effect display device 1600 When a specific operation unit (for example, the pressing operation unit 303, the contact operation unit 302, the volume control button 227, the light amount control button 228, the handle 195, etc.) is operated among the plurality of operation units provided in the pachinko machine 1 in the moved state). And when detection is made by a specific detection means (for example, the first start opening sensor 3002, the second start opening sensor 2401, the handle touch sensor 192, etc.) among the plurality of detection means provided in the pachinko machine 1, the high expectation movable While the production is not finished, the probability of winning a big hit is low or during the execution of a low-expectation movable production with no possibility of winning (for example, when the back-upper movable decoration body 3210 moves from the raised position to the front part of the production display device 1600 specific operation portion (for example, pressing operation portion 303, contact operation portion 302, volume control button 227, light amount control button 228, handle 195, etc.) or when detection is made by a specific detection means (for example, the first start sensor 3002, the second start sensor 2401, the handle touch sensor 192, etc.) among the plurality of detection means provided in the pachinko machine 1 The low-expectation movable effect may be ended. In this case, if the low-expectation movable effect is executed, the front of the effect display device 1600 is operated when the specific operation unit is operated in a state where the front part of the effect display device 1600 is covered, or the detection is made by the specific detection means. is opened, it is possible to reliably recognize that the low-expectation movable effect is being executed.

Further, in the above example, among the plurality of operation units provided in the pachinko machine 1, a specific operation unit (for example, the pressing operation unit 303, the contact operation unit 302, the volume control button 227, the light amount control button 228, the handle 195, etc.). Although the LED 364a of the button decoration board 364 provided inside the pressing operation portion 303 is changed when the portion 303 is pressed, the specific operation portion (for example, the pressing operation portion 303, A luminous body (for example, the outer periphery decoration of the production operation unit) provided in the operation unit (for example, the production operation unit 300 having the press operation unit 303) provided with the contact operation unit 302, the volume control button 227, the light amount adjustment button 228, the handle 195, etc. LEDs mounted on any one of the substrate 320, the external button decorative substrate 355, the internal button decorative substrate 364, etc.), and the light emitters (the left plate decorative substrate 273, the right plate LEDs mounted on any one of the decoration board 278, the handle decoration board 184, the back front bottom middle decoration board 3168, etc.) light emission mode (light emission color, brightness, light emission pattern, blink interval, lighting state and light-off state may be one or more of the switching, etc.) may be changed. Specifically, when the press operation unit 303 is pressed during execution of the high-expectation golden effect, the effect operation unit outer peripheral decoration board 320 provided in the effect operation unit 300 including the press operation unit 303 and the outside of the button While the light emitting modes of the LEDs mounted on the decoration substrate 355 and the inside-button decoration substrate 364 are not changed, the pressing operation unit 303 is pressed a predetermined number of times (one time or a plurality of times) during execution of the low-expectation gold effect. Good) Any one of the effect operation part peripheral decoration board 320, the button external decoration board 355, and the button inner decoration board 364 provided in the effect operation unit 300 having the pressing operation part 303 when the pressing operation is performed. Light emission mode such as changing the LED mounted on from the lighting state to the light-out state (emission color, luminance, light emission pattern, blinking interval, switching between lighting state and light-out state, etc.) ) may be changed. That is, it may be possible to determine whether or not there is a possibility of a big win by changing the lighting mode of an LED arranged near the specific operation part when the specific operation part is operated.

Also, in the above example, the gold presentation was explained, but the present technical idea is not limited to this, and the surface mounting surface of the board on which the light emitter is mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protective material). Then, a light-colored (yellow, yellow-green, light blue, etc.) surface-side marking portion is formed on the white solder resist, and a light-emitting body mounted on the surface-mounting surface emits light having the same or similar color as the front-side marking portion. Color (e.g., yellow emission color for yellow surface-side label, gold emission color for yellow front-side label, yellow-green emission color for yellow front-side label, yellow-green surface During the execution of the effect that emits light in a yellow-green emission color for the side label, a yellow emission color for the yellow-green front side label, and a gold emission color for the yellow-green front side label) When a specific operation unit (for example, pressing operation unit 303, contact operation unit 302, volume control button 227, light amount control button 228, handle 195, etc.) is operated among a plurality of operation units provided in pachinko machine 1, the light emitting body This is a concept that includes determining whether or not there is a possibility of a big win depending on whether or not the lighting mode changes. That is, by coating the surface mounting surface on which the light emitter is mounted with a white solder resist, it is possible not only to maintain a high reflection efficiency of the surface mounting surface, but also to use ink of the same or similar color as the light emitting color of the light emitter. By forming the surface-side marking part, the reflection efficiency of the light-emitting body can be increased by the front-side marking part, and a decrease in the reflection efficiency on the surface mounting surface can be suppressed. It becomes familiar and inconspicuous, and has the effect of making it difficult for the player to visually recognize the surface side inscription part. Since the presence or absence of the possibility can be determined, the presence or absence of the possibility of a big win can be determined without making the player visually recognize unnecessary information.

In addition, the high-expectation gold effect and the low-expectation gold effect have been exemplified as the gold effect. Displayed on the effect display device 1600 when the gold light emission (high-expectation gold light emission) that emits the LED mounted on the specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the game board 5 and the low-expectation gold effect are executed. The gold display (low-expectation gold display) and the gold light emission (low-expectation gold light emission) that emits LEDs mounted on a specific decoration board among the plurality of decoration boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5, It is not limited to one or both of the display mode and the light emission mode being the same, and one or both of the display mode and the light emission mode may be partially the same (common), One or both of the display mode and the light emission mode (display color, emission color) may be the same or similar (common). For example, although the display contents are different between the high-expectation gold display and the low-expectation gold display, at least a part of the display contents may display gold common to both the high-expectation gold display and the low-expectation gold display. However, the yellow light emission common to both the high expectation gold light emission and the low expectation gold light emission may be included in at least a part of the different light emission patterns between the high expectation gold light emission and the low expectation gold light emission. That is, the present technical concept can be applied as long as the high-expectation golden presentation and the low-expectation gold presentation have at least a partly common aspect.

[Information display]
Next, a modification using an information display will be described. In recent years, the number of players has decreased significantly, and it is urgent to attract new players. There is A modification in which an information display for displaying information about games is provided will be described below.

In this example, an information display device using a dot matrix display section is provided by operating an operation section such as the production operation section 301 in place of the five 7-segment display sections of the above-mentioned back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 . It is possible to switch between a state in which information about a game is displayed (game information display mode) as the display content of the information display device of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 and a state in which a game effect is executed (game effect mode). It is Further, in this example, when the operation means is operated during a specific period, the display contents of the information display device of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 can be switched. For example, control to switch the display content when the operation unit such as the production operation unit 301 is operated during execution of the customer waiting demonstration production, and operation of the operation means that can be operated only by the game clerk (for example, the back of the pachinko machine 1 When the RAM clear switch provided on the side is pressed, when the setting key switch 1311a is operated (for example, when the setting key cylinder is turned ON from the initial position, or when the setting key cylinder is turned ON from the initial position) The setting key cylinder is rotated counterclockwise to return to the position (OFF operation, etc.), the display of the information display of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is switched to display information about the game. Control to display (start) and display of the information display device of the back rear upper movable decoration 3210 when the operation unit such as the production operation unit 301 is operated during the execution of the variable production on the production display device 1600 is hidden. Control to switch the display content after the end of the variable production by operating the operation unit such as the production operation unit 301, and the change when the operation unit such as the production operation unit 301 is operated during the execution of the variable production in the production display device 1600 Without switching the display content during the performance, the mode being executed (game information display mode, game performance mode) is continued, and the display corresponding to each mode is performed, and the operation unit such as the performance operation unit 301 is operated. One or an arbitrary combination of control to switch the display content after the end of the variable effect may be executed.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 255(A) to (C), in a state (game information display mode) in which game-related information is displayed, the information display device of the back rear upper movable decoration 3210 displays "big win", "left-handed ←". , and ``Right shot→'' are displayed. As described above, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, when the time is reduced (low probability time reduction state (also referred to as time reduction state), high probability time reduction state (also referred to as variable state)) to the second start port 2004 to enter the game ball A target game (so-called "right-handed hitting") is performed. In addition, when the time is reduced, the second starting port 2004 is frequently opened, and the start winning (to the first starting port 2002 winning of the game ball, winning of the game ball to the second starting port 2004) becomes easier, so the state is advantageous to the player. However, this advantageous state cannot be enjoyed when the player does not play a game aiming at entering the game ball into the second starting hole 2004 (so-called "right-handed hitting") during time saving. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, as shown in FIG. 255(C), the player performs a game (so-called "right-handed hitting") aiming at entering the game ball into the second start port 2004 during time saving. As a display for instructing, the information display of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is designed to display "right hitting →". As a result, it is possible to prevent the player from being unable to enjoy an advantageous state in spite of the fact that the time is short, and to prevent the player from being disadvantaged.

On the other hand, in normal time (low probability non-time saving state (also referred to as normal state), high probability non-time saving state), a game aiming at winning the game ball to the first start port 2001 (so-called "left-handed hitting") is performed It's like In addition, in addition to the fact that the second start port 2004 is rarely opened in normal times, the period in which it is open is extremely short compared to the time saving, so that the player can open the second start port 2004 in normal times. There is a risk of giving a disadvantage by playing a game aiming at the entry of a game ball. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. The information display of the movable decorative body 3210 displays "Left-handed ←". As a result, the player can be prevented from being disadvantaged in normal times.

In this way, in the pachinko machine 1 of this modified example, the information displayed in the dot matrix of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is used to determine whether to hit left (the operation of hitting a game ball to the left side of the center accessory 2500) or hit right. (strike with the strength to abut on the impact part 1006 protruding inward from the outer rail 1001 constituting a part of the peripheral edge of the game area 5a), or when a big hit occurs, notification to that effect By instructing the player to play a game aiming at entering the ball into the big winning hole 2005, not only skilled players but also inexperienced players are not disadvantaged.

The information display may be a dedicated display for displaying information about games, and in this case, the information to be displayed may be switched when the operation means is operated during a specific period. The information related to the game includes information for guiding the game (right-handed, left-handed, etc.) as shown in FIGS. Lottery results (first special lottery result, second special lottery result) information (jackpot, loss, probability variable jackpot, time-saving jackpot, etc.) and setting information (pachinko machine 1 set in setting change processing) related to lottery probability of winning or losing The probability of occurrence of a big hit with respect to the set value of and the number of actually executed variable effects, etc.) and the number of game balls collected by the out port 1008 (out of the game balls fired to the game area 5a By the out port 1008 The number of collected game balls) and a specific winning device (first starting port 2002, second starting port 2004, big winning port 2005, general winning port 2001, etc.) or any combination of multiple Good), for example, the number of game balls that have won the first start port 2002 and the second start port 2004, etc.) The number of game balls that have won It may be an arbitrary combination of the number of game balls) and the number of game balls.

Although the information display is provided inside the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 in this example, it may be provided outside the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002 . This increases the degree of freedom in designing the inner regions of the outer rail 1001 and the inner rail 1002, and provides structures and movable objects to enhance decorativeness and presentation effects. In addition, in the modified example described above, an example using a dot matrix display section has been described, but the information regarding the game may be displayed using not only the dot matrix display section but also a 7-segment display section. In addition to the information display for new players, an information display for game clerks may be provided. In this case, the information display is arranged on the back side of the pachinko machine 1. You may do so.

In addition, a monochromatic LED is mounted on the first decorative substrate on the rear upper side of the information display device, and the information display device on the upper rear movable decorative body 3210 does not emit gold light even during the execution of the above-described golden effect. In addition, it emits light in a color different from the gold light emission (in this example, it is red, but it may be emitted in another color (blue, etc.) as long as it is a light emission color that can be clearly seen even during gold light emission). You can let it run. As a result, the information displayed on the information display can be clearly viewed even during execution of the gold light emission.

In addition, since the information display of this example displays important information related to the game as described above, the surface of the first decorative substrate on the back and upper side provided on the information display in order to clarify the display content (An insulating film of the same color may be formed on the back surface where no LED is mounted, or an insulating film of a different color from the front surface may be formed on the back surface.) , black, purple, dark blue, etc.) is formed (resist treatment). As a result, light interference is suppressed on the surface on which the LEDs of the rear upper first decorative substrate are mounted, and the light from each of the plurality of LEDs can be visually recognized independently. Various information can be displayed clearly. In addition, while a light-colored (white in this example) insulating film is formed on the surface of the board on which the LED that emits gold light is formed when the gold effect is executed, important information for the player and the game staff is displayed. The same insulating film may be formed on the front surface of the rear upper first decoration substrate provided in the information display device of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 (on the rear surface where the LED is not mounted, or the same insulating film may be formed on the front surface. may be formed with an insulating film of a different color on the back), a dark-colored (for example, green, black, purple, dark blue, etc.) insulating film is formed, so if a problem occurs in the light emission of the LED The color of the insulating film formed on the surface of the substrate makes it easy to determine whether the LED plays an important role.

In addition, on the front surface (surface) where the LEDs are mounted on the rear upper first decorative board, the part number corresponding to each LED and the attributes of the electronic parts such as the area indicating the position where the LED is arranged (further, the electronic parts shape, size of electronic parts, mounting direction of electronic parts (mounting direction), and model number of electronic parts. It is silk-printed with the paint of Of the area occupied by the front surface (front surface) where the LEDs of the rear upper first decorative substrate are mounted, the surface side marking part (area silk-printed with white (not limited to white, yellow, black, etc.) paint) The area occupied by is smaller than the area occupied by the resist (insulating film of dark color (for example, green, black, purple, navy blue, etc.)). Therefore, the reflection efficiency on the front surface (surface) of the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the LEDs are mounted is different from that in the case where only the resist is formed on the front surface (surface) of the rear upper first decoration substrate on which the LEDs are mounted. Similarly, since it is possible to make it substantially uniform, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of light emission unevenness, and to suppress the deterioration of the effect of suppressing the interference of light emitted from each of the plurality of mounted LEDs.

In addition, regarding the surface side notation portion silk-printed on the front surface (surface) where the LEDs of the rear upper first decoration board are mounted, electronic components of the same type may be collectively displayed for each predetermined group. . For example, one surface-side marking portion such as "LEDs 1 to 5" may be provided for five LEDs mounted on the front surface (surface) of the rear upper first decorative substrate. In this case, it is possible to reduce the ratio of the surface side marking portion to the front surface (front surface) where the LEDs of the rear upper first decorative substrate are mounted, compared to the case where the front side marking portion is provided for each electronic component. Therefore, it is possible to make the reflection efficiency more uniform on the front surface (front surface) of the rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LEDs are mounted. In addition, the front surface side marking part may not be silk-printed on the front surface (front surface) of the rear upper first decoration board on which the LEDs are mounted. It may be formed by silk printing, foil-cutting letters, resist-cutting letters, etc., and the front surface side inscription part may be formed by foil-cutting letters or the like on the front surface (surface) where the LEDs of the rear upper first decorative substrate are mounted. , resist removed characters, or the like.

Also, as described above, when an abnormality occurs in the pachinko machine 1 during the execution of the golden effect (when the opening of the door frame 3 with respect to the main body frame 4 is detected (when the opening of the door frame 3 causes the door frame 3 to open) When it becomes difficult to visually recognize the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative boards), and when a vibration sensor (not shown) detects the vibration of the game board 5 continuously for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) (such as hitting the pachinko machine 1) When it is detected that the action of (1) is being performed, the pachinko machine 1 vibrates, causing light emission by the LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and the display of the effect display device 1600 to blur. When the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 154 is input (when it is detected that the lower plate 202 is full of game balls), ball cut detection Minor errors such as when a detection signal from the sensor 574 is input (an error with a low possibility of a goto action such as when it is detected that there is no game ball in the guide passage 570a) If it occurs, if radio wave irradiation is detected (electromagnetic waves, etc. may cause noise in the light emitted by the LEDs of various decorative substrates provided on the door frame 3 or the game board 5, or noise may occur in the display of the effect display device 1600). When the magnet goto is detected, when the detection signal from the second start opening sensor 2401 is input when the second start opening 2004 is not open, when it is not a big hit game state or a small hit game state When a detection signal from the big winning opening sensor 2402 is input in the event of a serious error such as an error that is highly likely to be a goto act, etc.), the above-mentioned golden effect A plurality of LEDs provided on the game board 5 among the LEDs that emit gold light at the time of execution are turned off, and the LEDs provided on the door frame 3 emit light in an abnormality notification light emission mode (blinking red light with maximum brightness (light amount)). It is designed to control.

On the other hand, the display of the information display device of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is continued without being turned off even if an abnormality occurs during execution of the golden effect. In this way, the surface of the specific decorative board provided on the game board 5 and the door frame 3 and emitting gold light during execution of the gold effect (the surface coated with the white solder resist (protective material) and the LED of the specific decorative board mounted) On the (LED mounting surface), letters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts) to avoid confusion with electronic parts to be mounted and other decorative substrates, surface side electronic parts such as areas indicating the position where electronic parts are arranged Front-side notation indicating the attributes of the front-side electronic components (further, the shape of the front-side electronic components, the size of the front-side electronic components, the mounting orientation (mounting direction) of the front-side electronic components, and the model of the front-side electronic components.) The part is printed by screen printing using ink with high brightness and saturation (for example, bright colors such as yellow and yellowish green)). gold light emission), the information display of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 (mounted on the rear upper first decoration substrate on which an insulating film of a dark color (e.g., green, black, purple, dark blue, etc.) is formed. LED) continues to display even if an abnormality occurs (continues a predetermined lighting pattern until the fluctuation time elapses). As a result, even when an abnormality occurs, it is possible to know the information by displaying the information about the game. Of the serious errors described above, if an extremely serious error that makes it difficult to continue the game due to an abnormality in the main control board 1310 occurs, etc. Display according to the type of abnormality is performed by changing the lighting pattern of a plurality of LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decoration board, or the rear upper first decoration board provided on the information display of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 A plurality of LEDs mounted on the decorative board may be turned off, in which case the degree of abnormality can be determined immediately.

In addition, depending on the type of abnormality, it may be possible to change whether to continue displaying the information display of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 or to turn off the information display to hide it. When a minor error occurs, the display of the information display on the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is continued, and when the above-described serious error occurs, the information display is extinguished and hidden. may This makes it possible to determine the degree of abnormality.

In addition, as described above, the LED that emits gold light during the execution of the gold effect is controlled by the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 in the peripheral control unit regular processing that is performed approximately every 33.3 ms. The LEDs of the first decoration board on the back and top provided in the information display device of the movable decoration 3210 are controlled by the main control MPU of the main control board 1310 by the main control side timer interrupt processing performed about every 4 ms. ing. In this way, the information of the rear-back-upper movable ornament 3210 is transmitted in a shorter cycle than when the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 controls the LED that emits gold light based on the control signal from the main control board 1310 . The display content of the display can be updated, and even if a problem occurs and the content different from the content originally displayed on the information display of the back rear upper movable decoration body 3210 is displayed, it will be updated immediately (4 ms Afterwards, the display contents can be updated and changed to the original display contents, so that the player or the like is not disadvantaged. That is, the information display device of the back and top movable decorative body 3210 that displays important (highly important) information about the game is shorter than the LED that is light emission controlled and decorated according to the variable effect such as the golden effect. Since the control signal is output periodically to update the light emitting mode of the LED, even if the display content of the information display device of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is defective, the display content can be immediately changed to the normal display content. It is possible to prevent the player from being disadvantaged by the display of content different from the original. Further, when the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 is configured to control the information display of the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 based on the control signal from the main control board 1310, the main control board 1310 and the peripheral A communication error may occur between the control board 1510 and the information displayed by the information display device of the back rear top movable decoration 3210 may be defective. By directly controlling the information display device of the body 3210, the information of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 is displayed compared to the case where the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 controls the information display device of the rear upper movable decoration body 3210. Problems are less likely to occur in the information displayed by the display device, and it is possible to suppress disadvantageous effects on the player.

In addition, various decorative substrates that are provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and that emit gold light when the gold effect is executed are provided on a decorative body or the like (a case or a cover may be used) made of a translucent material. On the other hand, the back rear upper movable decorative body 3210 (which may be a case or cover) provided with the rear upper first decoration substrate provided in the information display that does not emit gold light when the gold light emission is performed is not translucent. It may be made of a material, and in this case, the LED, which plays an important role, is mounted depending on whether or not the decorative body (case, cover, etc.) on which the substrate is provided has translucency. It is possible to determine whether or not

In addition, as shown in FIG. 256, the rear upper movable decoration body 3210 (a case or cover may be used) provided with the rear upper upper first decoration substrate provided in the information display device which does not emit gold light when the gold light emission is performed is used to control the rear upper display. The rear upper first decoration substrate may be firmly accommodated. For example, the rear upper movable decoration 3210a and the rear upper first decoration substrate covering the surface (LED mounting surface) of the rear upper first decoration substrate of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 (case or cover may be used). The rear upper movable decorative body 3210b that covers the rear surface (LED non-mounting surface) is firmly adhered by welding or the like, and if a part of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 is not destroyed, the rear upper first decoration substrate is formed. It may be configured so as not to be detachable. On the other hand, the decorations (cases, covers, etc. may be used) provided with various decorative substrates that are provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and emit gold light when the golden effect is executed are partially destroyed. Alternatively, the decorative substrate may be detachable. In the information display device that displays important information in this way, the rear upper first decorative substrate cannot be removed unless a part of the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 (a case or cover may be used) is destroyed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the physical destruction of the light emitting means such as the LED which plays an important role. On the other hand, regarding light emitting means (light emitting means less important than the information display) such as LEDs that are provided on the door frame 3 and the game board 5 and emit gold light during execution of the gold effect without displaying important information. Since the light-emitting means can be replaced without destroying the decorative body or the like (a case or cover may be used), maintenance is facilitated.

In addition, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decorative substrate inside the rear upper movable decorative body 3210 (case or cover may be used) on which the rear upper first decorative substrate provided in the information display is provided. Interference suppressing means for suppressing interference of light emitted by each may be formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 256(B), a plurality of cylindrical portions are formed inside the rear upper movable decorative body 3210a that abuts on the surface (LED mounting surface) of the rear upper first decoration substrate. The surface (LED mounting surface) of the rear upper first decorative substrate may be partitioned so that one LED is arranged inside each of the plurality of cylindrical portions. As a result, the advancing direction of the light emitted from each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the rear upper first decorative substrate is regulated, and the LEDs are mounted adjacent to the surface (LED mounting surface) of the rear upper first decorative substrate. Interference with the light emitted from the LED is suppressed, and the emission colors of the plurality of light emitting means can be easily identified individually. In addition, since it is possible to clearly distinguish between lit LEDs and unlit LEDs in the information display, information can be clearly displayed on the information display.

In addition, the rear upper movable decoration 3210b covering the rear surface (LED non-mounting surface) of the rear upper first decoration substrate of the rear upper movable decoration 3210 is formed so as to have only a minimum opening. may For example, as shown in FIG. 256(B), a rear upper movable decoration 3210b covering the rear surface (LED non-mounting surface) of the rear upper first decoration substrate is connected to the rear upper first decoration substrate with an electric wiring. Alternatively, only openings for connectors may be formed. As a result, it is possible to prevent light from entering the cylindrical portion formed in the rear upper movable decoration 3210a from the rear surface side of the rear upper movable decoration 3210, thereby displaying incorrect information on the information display. Therefore, the reliability of the information displayed on the information display is improved.

In addition, when an abnormality occurs as described above, a plurality of LEDs provided on the game board 5 among the LEDs that are mounted on the specific decoration board and emit gold light during execution of the gold effect are turned off, while the information display is turned off. Since the light is emitted while maintaining the normal luminance, the brightness in the game window part can be reduced in an abnormal state to make the light emission of the information display stand out, so that the information displayed on the information display can be easily visually recognized. In addition, when an abnormality occurs, the LED provided on the door frame 3 among the LEDs mounted on the specific decorative board and emitting gold light when executing the gold effect The light emission is controlled by flashing light emission), but interference of light emitted by each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the first decoration substrate on the back top inside the back top movable decoration 3210 (a case or cover may be used) is prevented. Since it has an interference suppressing means for suppressing interference, even in a situation where the LED provided on the door frame 3 is controlled to emit light in an abnormality notification light emitting mode (blinking light in red with maximum brightness (light amount)) It is easy to determine the light emitting state of each of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the device.

In addition, in this example, since the surface of the rear upper first decorative substrate on which the LEDs are mounted is coated with a dark solder resist, the light emitted from the LED provided in the through portion leaked out of the through portion. Even in this case, the diffusion of light can be suppressed.

In the above embodiments (all embodiments including modifications), a white solder resist (protective material) is coated on the surface (LED mounting surface) on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted on the specific decorative substrate, and the white solder resist is coated. (Protective material) On the surface, such as characters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts) to avoid confusion with electronic parts such as LEDs to be mounted and other decorative substrates, areas indicating the positions where electronic parts are arranged Indicates the attributes of the electronic component on the front side (may also include the shape of the electronic component on the front side, the size of the electronic component on the front side, the mounting orientation of the electronic component on the front side (mounting direction), and the type of the electronic component on the front side). The surface-side labeling part is screen-printed using yellow ink, and a gold effect (golden light emission) is performed by causing multiple LEDs mounted on a specific decorative board to emit light in a color similar to the yellow of the front-side labeling part. Although shown, this technical idea can be applied to other presentations. For example, an effect is performed in which the surface-side inscription portion is screen-printed using yellow-green ink, and a plurality of LEDs mounted on the specific decorative substrate emit light in a color similar to the yellow-green color of the surface-side inscription portion. good too. That is, the present technical idea can be applied as long as it is an effect of emitting light in a color similar to the color of the LEDs mounted on the specific decoration board and the color of the surface-side notation.

In addition, for electronic components other than the LEDs mounted on the specific decorative board, the surface side labeling portion may not be screen-printed, or the back surface side labeling portion may be screen-printed on the back surface where the LED is not mounted. . In addition, the surface of the specific decorative board on which the plurality of LEDs are mounted is white (including colors recognized as (similar to) white such as beige, ivory, cream, off-white, etc.) or bright colors. Mount only electronic components (for example, LED elements with white packages, connectors with white housings, or more (any combination)) that have exteriors (cases, packages, housings, etc.) On the other hand (including those that mount only LED elements with white packages and do not mount other electronic components), electronic components that do not have at least a white or bright color exterior on the back surface where multiple LEDs are not mounted (for example Resistors with black exteriors, circuits that control the light emission of multiple LEDs (e.g., constant current drive circuits), capacitors with brown exteriors, connectors with housings that are different from white (light blue, yellow, etc.), etc.) may be mounted (not limited to placing only electronic components that do not have a white or light-colored exterior on the back side, but electronic components that do not have a white or light-colored exterior and/or one or both of the electronic components may be arranged). As a result, it is possible to suppress the decrease in the reflection efficiency on the surface on which the LED is mounted and increase the amount of light of the specific decorative substrate, so that the above-described light emission effects such as the golden effect can be executed without uneven light emission. At the same time, an impactful performance can be executed, and the game interest is improved.

In addition, the color of a plurality of LED packages mounted on a specific decorative substrate may be white (including colors recognized as (similar to) white such as beige, ivory, cream, off-white, etc.). In this case, it is possible to prevent the reflection efficiency from lowering due to the exterior color of the LED itself mounted on the specific decoration board, so that the light quantity of the specific decoration board can be increased. Also, a first specific decoration board mounting both a plurality of LEDs having a white package on one surface and a connector having a white housing as a specific decoration board, and a plurality of LEDs having a white package on one surface and a connector having a housing of a color different from white (for example, light blue, yellow, etc.) on the other surface. In this case, a connector having a white housing, which is highly effective in suppressing a decrease in reflection efficiency, is mounted on the same surface as the surface on which the LED is mounted (LED mounting surface (also referred to as a surface mounting surface)). For connectors that have a housing other than white, which is less effective in suppressing the decrease in reflection efficiency (may reduce the reflection efficiency), a surface different from the surface on which the LED is mounted (LED non-mounting surface (also called back mounting surface) )) to maintain a high reflection efficiency at the surface on which the LED is mounted. This technical concept does not exclude the mounting of electronic components having a white exterior such as a connector with a white housing on the LED non-mounting surface. By mounting it on the LED mounting surface, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the reflection efficiency due to electronic components other than the LED, so the reflection efficiency on the LED mounting surface is maintained high and the light emission of the LED is efficiently used to prevent the decrease in the amount of light. can be suppressed.

In addition, in the above example, all of the specific decorative substrates on which LEDs whose light emission is controlled in gold color are mounted are coated with a white solder resist (protective material) on the surface, but the present invention is not limited to this. Some of the specific decorative boards on which LEDs whose light emission is controlled in gold color are mounted are coated with a solder resist (protective material) of a color other than white (for example, green or black) on the surface. Alternatively, for all or some of the specific decorative boards on which LEDs whose light emission is controlled in gold color are mounted, only the surface where the LEDs are mounted is coated with a white solder resist (protective material). Alternatively, the back surface on which the LED is not mounted may be coated with a solder resist (protective material) in a color other than white (for example, green or black). In addition, the substrates (relay substrates, driver substrates, LED-mounted decoration substrates, and other substrates) connected to the specific decoration substrate by harnesses have the same configuration as the specific decoration substrate. The surface is coated with a white solder resist (protective material), and letters and symbols (part numbers of electronic parts) and electronic parts are arranged to avoid confusion with mounted electronic parts and other decorative boards. Attributes of surface-side electronic components such as areas indicating positions (including shape of surface-side electronic components, size of surface-side electronic components, mounting orientation (mounting direction) of surface-side electronic components, model of surface-side electronic components) ) is screen-printed using ink with high brightness and saturation (for example, bright colors such as yellow and yellow-green), the specified decorative board and harness The substrates to be connected (relay substrates, driver substrates, other substrates such as decorative substrates on which LEDs are mounted) are also coated with a white solder resist (protective material) on the surface, and the surface side notation part has brightness and saturation. It may be screen-printed using high-color (for example, bright color such as yellow or yellow-green) ink. That is, on the game board 5, a board coated with a white solder resist (protective material) and a board coated with a green solder resist (protective material) are mounted together. When checking the harness or connection of the specific decoration board due to a problem, make sure that the board connected to the specific decoration board is coated with the same color solder resist (protective material) as the specific decoration board. Or you can quickly find the board that is connected to the specific decorative board by screen-printing the surface side marking part using the same color ink and other boards (coated with green solder resist (protective material) It can be confirmed without making a mistake with the board that is attached).

Also, a connector having the same color exterior may be used for each of the specific decoration board and the board connected by the harness. Since the board can be identified, the board connected to the specific decorative board can be found quickly. Also, a connector mounted on the surface mounting surface (the surface facing the front of the game machine) of a board (a relay board, a driver board, another board such as a decorative board on which LEDs are mounted, etc.) connected to a specific decorative board with a harness Also, the connector with a white exterior is used, and the connector with a different color from white is mounted on the back mounting surface (the surface facing the back of the game machine) of the board that is connected to the specific decoration board with a harness. (This does not exclude the case where a connector having a white exterior is mounted on the non-LED mounting surface). As a result, the board connected to the specific decorative board can be found more accurately and quickly, and the reflection efficiency of the surface mounting surface of the board connected to the specific decorative board by a harness can be suppressed. It is possible to efficiently use light emitted from a light emitter such as an LED provided in the game machine to suppress a decrease in the amount of light.
