Further, the middle frame 11ba is supported so as to be openable and closable on the front side of the opening of the installation frame 11a. A glass 35 that protects the game board 20 mounted on the middle frame 11ba is supported on the front frame 11bb. In FIG. 1, although only a portion of the glass 35 is omitted from illustration, it actually covers the entire opening 24 of the front frame 11bb. A support portion (not shown) for the glass 35 is provided on the rear side of the front frame 11bb. In this embodiment, the middle frame 11ba and the front frame 11bb as the mounting frame 11b correspond to a door member that is openably and closably supported by the installation frame 11a as a support member.

As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the installation frame 11a includes a substantially rectangular opening 36 on the front surface. The outline of the installation frame 11a includes a substantially rectangular outline 37 that forms the outer shape of the installation frame 11a, and a substantially rectangular outline 38 that is the outline of the opening 36 and forms the inner shape of the installation frame 11a. . The outline of the middle frame 11ba includes a substantially rectangular outline 39 forming the outer shape of the middle frame 11ba. The front frame 11bb includes a substantially circular opening 24 on the front surface. The outline of the front frame 11bb includes a substantially rectangular outline 42 that forms the outer shape of the front frame 11bb, and a substantially circular outline 43 that is the outline of the opening 24 and forms the inner shape of the front frame 11bb. .

Returning to the explanation of FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 includes a locking section SS. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the opening of the middle frame 11ba and the front frame 11bb is regulated by the locking part SS, and can be unlocked by operating the locking part SS using a frame key (key) managed by the administrator of the gaming hall. After being locked, the middle frame 11ba and the front frame 11bb can be opened. In this way, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to allow an operation to be performed using the frame key to allow opening of the middle frame 11ba and the front frame 11bb.

It may be configured by a plurality of presentation devices.

Next, the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be explained.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low probability state and a high probability state as game states with different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is the probability of winning a jackpot in the jackpot lottery. The high probability state is a gaming state in which the jackpot probability is higher than that in the low probability state. The high probability state is a so-called "probability fluctuating state (definitely variable state)," and the low probability state is a "non-probability fluctuating state (non-probability varying state)." In the following explanation, a high probability state will be referred to as a "variable probability state" and a low probability state will be referred to as a "variable probability state". Furthermore, the pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state and a high base state as game states in which the ratio of the number of prize balls to the number of game balls fired differs. The high base state is a game state in which the probability that a game ball enters the second starting port 27 is higher than that in the low base state. The high base state is a so-called "electrical support state" and the low base state is a "non-electrical support state."

The high base state can be achieved, for example, by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the three controls described below, or by performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control that shortens the variation time of the normal game compared to the low base state. The second control is normal symbol probability variation control that changes the probability of winning a normal winning lottery (normal winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an open time extension control that makes the total open time of the first variable member 28 in one normal winning game longer than in the low base state. The opening time extension control includes control to increase the number of openings of the first variable member 28 in one normal winning game than in the low base state, and control to open the first variable member 28 once in a normal winning game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls to make the open time longer than in the low base state. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining the fourth control described below. The fourth control is special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time (for example, average variation time) of the special game easier to be shorter than in the low base state. When performing special symbol fluctuation time shortening control, the high base state becomes a so-called "variation time shortening state (variable short state)".

The gaming states include a gaming state that is a non-probability variable state and a low base state, a gaming state that is a non-probability variable state and a high base state, a gaming state that is a variable probability state and a low base state, and a gaming state that is a variable probability state and a low base state.

Next, a jackpot in the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be explained.
The pachinko game machine 10 includes a plurality of types of jackpot symbols as special jackpot symbols. The plurality of types of jackpot symbols are classified into first jackpot symbols and second jackpot symbols. The type of jackpot is determined for each of the plurality of types of jackpot symbols. The jackpot symbol may define a gaming state after the end of the jackpot game. In the jackpot game, first, an opening performance is performed to notify the start of the jackpot game over a predetermined opening period. In the jackpot game, a round game in which the jackpot opening 29 is opened is performed after the opening presentation ends. The round game is played up to a predetermined upper limit number of times. In one round game, the big prize opening 29 is opened until the first round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls enters, or the second round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit time elapses. It will be open for a while. In the round game, a round performance is performed. In the jackpot game, when the final round game ends, an ending effect is performed to notify the end of the jackpot game over a predetermined ending period. The jackpot game ends when the ending performance ends.

For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols, "first jackpot" is defined as the type of jackpot. For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols, "10" is set as the upper limit number of round games. For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols, it is determined that the game state after the end of the jackpot game will be a variable probability state. For the jackpot symbols classified as the first jackpot symbols, it is determined that the game state after the end of the jackpot game is a high base state. For jackpot symbols classified as second jackpot symbols, "second jackpot" is defined as the type of jackpot. For the jackpot symbols classified as the second jackpot symbols, "8" is set as the upper limit number of round games. For the jackpot symbols classified as the second jackpot symbols, it is determined that the game state after the end of the jackpot game is a non-probable variable state. In addition, for jackpot symbols classified as second jackpot symbols, the game state after the end of the jackpot game is until the end of the 100th special game, or before the end of the 100th special game. It is determined that the high base state will be maintained until the game is awarded. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, for example, when comparing when the first special game results in a jackpot and when the second special game results in a jackpot, the type of jackpot determined and the determination rate of various jackpots are determined. It may be different.

Various processes executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the control program will be described below.
First, the special symbol input process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be explained.

In the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a performs a first special symbol input process. Moreover, after finishing the first special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a performs the second special symbol input process. Then, in the special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input process after completing the second special symbol input process.

In the first special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether a game ball has entered the first starting port 26 based on whether or not a detection signal from the first starting sensor SE1 has been input (hereinafter referred to as (denoted as 1st input determination). When the determination result of the first input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the first special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the first input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (hereinafter referred to as "first reservation determination"). show). When the determination result of the first suspension determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the first special symbol input process. Moreover, when the determination result of the first reservation determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special reservation number by adding one. The main control CPU 40a also controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated first special reservation number. The main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a first reservation number command) that can specify the updated first special reservation number in an output buffer.

If the determination result of the first suspension determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated within the main board 40, and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information so that it can be specified that it is random number information for the first special game, and the order in which the random number information is stored can be specified. In this embodiment, by storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the execution of the first special game is suspended until the execution conditions for the first special game are satisfied. That is, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend execution of the first special game. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself, or may be information obtained by processing the random number using a predetermined method. For example, random numbers include random numbers used for jackpot drawings (hereinafter referred to as jackpot determination random numbers), random numbers used to determine special symbols (hereinafter referred to as special symbol random numbers), and random numbers used to determine fluctuation patterns (hereinafter referred to as fluctuation numbers). random numbers used for performance lottery (hereinafter referred to as performance determination random numbers), etc. Thereafter, in the first special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a ends the first special symbol input process.

Next, the second special symbol input process will be explained.
In the second special symbol input process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether a game ball has entered the second starting port 27 based on whether or not a detection signal from the second starting sensor SE2 has been input (hereinafter, (denoted as second input determination). If the determination result of the second input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the second special symbol input process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (hereinafter referred to as "second reservation determination"). show). If the determination result of the second suspension determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the second special symbol input process. Further, when the determination result of the second suspension determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a updates the second special suspension number by adding one. The main control CPU 40a also controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated second special reservation number. The main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a second reservation number command) that can specify the updated second special reservation number in an output buffer.

Next, the special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be explained.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether the special game execution conditions are satisfied (hereinafter referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination if the jackpot game is not in progress, the special game is not in progress, and the variation interval is not in progress. On the other hand, in the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes a negative determination if any one of the jackpot game, the special game, and the fluctuation interval is in progress. If the judgment result of the execution judgment is negative (if the special game execution conditions are not satisfied), the main control CPU 40a stores a standby command that can identify the standby state in the output buffer, and executes the special symbol start process. end.

On the other hand, when the judgment result of the execution judgment is affirmative (when the special game execution conditions are satisfied), the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. judge. When the second special pending number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs a second special symbol start process related to execution of the second special game, and then ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the second special reservation number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. If the first special reservation number is not 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, when the first special reservation number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs the first special symbol start process related to the execution of the first special game, and then ends the special symbol start process.

In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special reservation number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting one. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special reservation number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores in the output buffer a first reservation number command that can specify the updated first special reservation number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out the first stored random number information among the random number information for the first special game from the main control RAM 40c. Note that, upon reading out the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a erases the first stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a performs a jackpot lottery based on the read random number information and the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. Note that at least a portion of the jackpot determination value used for the jackpot lottery differs between the variable probability state and the non-probability variable state. After finishing the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the special symbols to be fixed and displayed in the first special game and the fluctuation pattern of the first special game. Specifically, when winning the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the jackpot symbol based on the value of the special symbol random number, and determines the jackpot fluctuation pattern based on the value of the fluctuation pattern determination random number. On the other hand, if the player does not win the jackpot lottery, the main control CPU 40a performs a performance lottery based on the value of the performance determination random number. When winning the production lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a losing symbol, and determines a variable pattern with a losing reach based on the value of the variable pattern determination random number. On the other hand, if the player does not win the production lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines a losing symbol, and determines a winning no-reach variation pattern based on the value of the variation pattern determination random number. After determining the special symbols and fluctuation patterns, the main control CPU 40a sends control information that can identify the determined special symbols (hereinafter referred to as symbol commands) and control information that can identify the fluctuation patterns (hereinafter referred to as fluctuation pattern designation commands). ) is stored in the output buffer, and the first special symbol start process is ended. In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a stores a variable pattern designation command corresponding to the first special game in the output buffer.

In the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a performs a process related to execution of the second special game. Regarding the 2nd special symbol start process, the "1st special game" is read as the "2nd special game" and the "1st special reservation number" is read as the "2nd special reservation number" with respect to the 1st special symbol start process. Since this is a simple process, detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

Then, when the special symbol start process is finished, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process and causes the special game to be executed. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a measures the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start process. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is fixed and displayed when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, an end command for displaying the symbol combination based on the effect symbols in a fixed and stopped manner when the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed. Further, the main control CPU 40a sets a variation interval (for example, 2 seconds) after the special symbols are fixed and stopped, that is, after the special game ends. During the fluctuation interval, the special symbol that was displayed as a fixed stop with the end of the special game continues to be displayed as a fixed stop.

Next, the jackpot process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be explained.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the type of jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol determined in the special symbol start process. After the special jackpot game ends, the main control CPU 40a starts control for awarding the specified jackpot game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a starts the control for awarding the jackpot game after the special jackpot game ends and the fluctuation interval has elapsed. The main control CPU 40a awards a jackpot game by executing jackpot processing. In this way, in the pachinko game machine 10, a jackpot game is awarded after winning a jackpot.

When the special jackpot game ends, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. Furthermore, when the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a measures the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs processing for executing a round game when the opening time has elapsed. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 to open the big prize opening 29 according to the opening mode (opening pattern) set for the jackpot game, and starts the round game. After starting the round game, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the big prize opening 29 is closed when the first round end condition or the second round end condition is satisfied, and ends the round game. let The main control CPU 40a repeatedly performs the process for executing the round game until the upper limit number of round games determined for the jackpot game is completed. Moreover, the main control CPU 40a stores a round command in the output buffer every time a round game is started. Furthermore, when the final round game ends, the main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer. After storing the ending command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a measures the ending time. Then, the main control CPU 40a ends the jackpot game when the ending time has elapsed.

Next, the game state processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be explained.
The main control CPU 40a specifies the gaming state after the end of the jackpot game based on the jackpot symbol (namely, the type of jackpot) determined in the special symbol start process. When the main control CPU 40a specifies that the control is to be controlled to a non-probability variable state, upon the end of the jackpot game, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can specify that the control is to be controlled to a non-probability variable state to the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c. Set. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a low probability state command) that can specify the non-probability variable state in the output buffer. Further, when the main control CPU 40a specifies that the probability variable state is to be controlled, upon the end of the jackpot game, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that allows specifying that the probability variable state is to be controlled to the probability state flag. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores control information (hereinafter referred to as a high probability state command) that can specify that the state is in a variable probability state in an output buffer.

In addition, when a jackpot game is awarded, the main control CPU 40a sets the probability state flag to a value that can specify that the control is to be controlled to a non-probability variable state, and also sets a value that can specify that the control is to be controlled to a low base state as the base. Set to status flag. Furthermore, the main control CPU 40a stores the low probability state command in the output buffer and also stores the low base state command in the output buffer.

Next, the door opening process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be explained.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether the door member is open based on whether a detection signal is input from the door open sensor KS. When the main control CPU 40a receives a detection signal (ON signal) from the door open sensor KS, it determines that the door member is open. If no detection signal is input from the door open sensor KS, the main control CPU 40a determines that the door member is not opened. If the door member is not opened, the main control CPU 40a ends the door opening process. On the other hand, when the door member is open, the main control CPU 40a stores control information that can specify that the door member is open (hereinafter referred to as a door open command) in an output buffer, and executes the door open process. finish. In addition, when the main control CPU 40a stores the door open command in the output buffer in the previous door opening process, and determines that the door member is not opened in the current door opening process, the main control CPU 40a determines that the door is closed. Identifiable control information (hereinafter referred to as door closing command) is stored in the output buffer.

Next, various processes executed by the sub-control CPU 41a based on the control program will be explained.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the low-probability state command, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the probability state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c to a value that can identify the non-probability variable state. When the high probability state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the variable probability state in the probability state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a can identify whether the state is in a variable probability state by referring to the probability state flag in the sub-control RAM 41c. Furthermore, upon input of the low base state command, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value that can identify the low base state in the base state flag stored in the sub control RAM 41c. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the high base state command, it sets a value that can identify the high base state in the base state flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a can identify whether it is in the high base state by referring to the base state flag of the sub-control RAM 41c.

The sub-control CPU 41a controls at least some of various performance devices such as the frame lamp 17, the speaker 18, the performance display device 25, and the decorative lamp 50a provided on the movable body 50 so that the jackpot performance is performed during the jackpot game. control. Specifically, when the opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls at least some of the various presentation devices so that the opening presentation is performed. Furthermore, when a round command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls at least some of the various production devices so that a round production is performed. Furthermore, when an ending command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls at least some of the various effect devices so that an ending effect is performed. The content of the jackpot performance may be varied depending on the type of jackpot.

The sub-control CPU 41a controls the performance display device 25 so that the performance game is played. Specifically, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command, it performs control to execute the production game. The sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination based on performance symbols that are finally fixed and displayed in the performance game, based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. When specifying a jackpot symbol from the input symbol command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a jackpot symbol combination based on the effect symbols. The sub-control CPU 41a, when specifying a symbol that is off from the input symbol command, determines a combination of out of place symbols based on the effect design. For example, when specifying a variable pattern with a reach from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination that includes a reach. On the other hand, when identifying a non-reach variation pattern from the input variation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a symbol combination that does not include a reach.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the variation pattern designation command, it controls the production display device 25 to display the production symbols in a variable manner. In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the performance game. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a temporarily stops displaying the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbols at a predetermined timing. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a, triggered by the input of the end command, causes the symbol combination based on the performance symbols to be fixed and displayed. Incidentally, the sub-control CPU 41a may measure a fluctuation time that can be specified from the fluctuation pattern, regardless of the end command, and use the elapse of the fluctuation time as an opportunity to display the symbol combination as determined and stopped. In this case, the end command may be omitted.

When the door opening command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 to display an image TG indicating that the door member is opened. In this embodiment, the image TG is an image that includes text information such as "The door is open." In this embodiment, displaying the image TG indicating that the door member is opened on the effect display device 25 corresponds to performing an opening notification effect based on the fact that the door member is detected to be open. In this embodiment, it is possible to perform an open notification effect that notifies the user that the door member is open during at least part of the period during which the door member is open. When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the door closing command, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the opening notification effect. In this embodiment, the open notification effect is continuously performed during the period from when the open notification effect starts until it ends. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 25 to display the image TG indicating that the door member is open during the period from when the door open command is input until when the door close command is input. do.

When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the door open command and also inputs the detection signal (on signal) of the photosensor PS, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an image EG indicating that the movable body 50 is prompted to move from the original position to the retreat position. The effect display device 25 is controlled so as to display. In this embodiment, the image EG is an image that includes text information such as "Please move the movable body." In the present embodiment, displaying the image EG on the effect display device 25 indicating that the movable body 50 is prompted to move from the original position to the retreat position indicates that the opening of the door member has been detected and that the movable body This corresponds to performing a specific effect based on the fact that the position 50 is detected to be the original position. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the specific performance when the movable body 50 moves from the original position while the door member is open, that is, when the detection signal of the photosensor PS is no longer input. Even if the position of the movable body 50 is the original position when the door member is open, the sub-control CPU 41a executes the specific effect when a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed since the specific effect was executed. Terminate it. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the specific performance when the door member is closed, that is, when a door close command is input.

As described above, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the door open command, the sub-control CPU 41a generates an open notification effect to notify that the door member is opened, and a specific function to prompt the movable body 50 to move from the original position to the retreat position. It is possible to execute the performance. The sub-control CPU 41a executes the specific effect when the detection signal of the photosensor PS is no longer input in a situation where the open notification effect and the specific effect are being performed, that is, when the movable body 50 moves from the original position. While ending it, the open notification performance is not ended. In addition, in a situation where an open notification performance and a specific performance are being performed, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the specific performance when a predetermined time has elapsed since the specific performance was executed, and ends the open notification performance. I won't let you. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the opening notification performance when the door closing command is input in a situation where the specific performance is not being performed and the opening notification performance is being performed. Note that, when the door closing command is input in a situation where the opening notification performance and the specific performance are being performed, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the opening notification performance and the specific performance.

The sub-control CPU 41a executes different light emission effects depending on when the movable body 50 is at the original position and when the movable body 50 is at a position different from the original position. Specifically, when the movable body 50 is in its original position while the door member is closed, the sub-control CPU 41a causes, for example, a decorative lamp 50a provided on the movable body 50 to emit blue light (light up). Execute the performance. When the position of the movable body 50 is different from the original position when the door member is closed, the sub-control CPU 41a causes, for example, a decorative lamp 50a provided on the movable body 50 to emit red light (light up). Execute the performance. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a performs different effects depending on when the movable body 50 is in the original position and when the movable body 50 is in a position different from the original position when the door member is closed. Let it run. That is, when the door member is closed, the sub-control CPU 41a causes different effects to be performed when the movable body 50 is at the original position and when the movable body 50 is at a position different from the original position. .

Furthermore, when the movable body 50 is in its original position while the door member is open, the sub-control CPU 41a causes the decorative lamp 50a provided on the movable body 50 to blink in red, for example. When the position of the movable body 50 is different from the original position while the door member is open, the sub-control CPU 41a executes an effect that causes a decorative lamp 50a provided on the movable body 50 to flash in white, for example. let In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a performs different effects depending on when the movable body 50 is in the original position and when the movable body 50 is in a position different from the original position when the door member is open. Let it run.

As described above, when the movable body 50 is in the original position, the sub-control CPU 41a causes different effects to be performed depending on the state in which the door member is open and the state in which the door member is closed. Furthermore, when the movable body 50 is in a position different from the original position, the sub-control CPU 41a causes different effects to be performed depending on the state in which the door member is open and the state in which the door member is closed.
