As shown in the figure, the sub output port 370 is connected, and the sub output port 370 is connected to the main low-pass filter 236 on the game control board 200 side via the sub communication driver 371. From the sub communication driver 371, a ready signal and an LCD operation end signal are transmitted to the main low-pass filter 236.

Further, in the input / output stage of the sub CPU 360,
As shown in FIG. 15, the LCD controller described above
The LCD is connected via 310. Next, the display screen of the image display device 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, in a normal state, as shown in FIG. 16, an ordinary display screen 400 consisting of characters “WEL COME” is displayed on the display screen of the LCD. The normal display screen 400 is composed entirely of still image information stored in the still image information storage means 321 (FIG. 1) of the image display control board 300.

Next, during the game, the ball is hit by a specific winning opening 61,6.
2 and is detected by the specific winning signal generation means SW1, a fluctuation display screen 410 is displayed on the display screen of the LCD as shown in FIG. On the fluctuation display screen 410, identification symbols (designs) 414 to 416, for example, numbers as a plurality of types of identification information are displayed in windows 411 to 413 in three horizontal rows of left, middle, and right. For example, as shown by "0" to "9", the robot rotates at a high speed from below to above. This fluctuation display screen 410 has an identification symbol (symbol) 414 in the windows 411 to 413.
Only .about.416 are composed of the fluctuating image information stored in the fluctuating image information storage means 322 of the image display control board 300, and the remaining surrounding framework is composed of the still image information.

The identification information is not limited to the numbers exemplified as the identification symbols (symbols) 414 to 416, but may be symbols. After that, a predetermined time has elapsed, that is, the game control board 200
When the time set in the stop signal generating means 203 has elapsed, as shown in FIG.
Identification symbols (symbols) 414 to 416 in 1 to 413 are stopped and displayed in order from the left side. That is, the identification symbol (design) 414 of the left window 411, the identification symbol (design) 415 of the middle window 412, and the right window 413
Are stopped and displayed in the order of the identification symbol (symbol) 416. The combination display mode of the stop identification symbols (symbols) 414 to 416 in the drawing corresponds to, for example, a jackpot prize mode.

In the case of the jackpot prize mode, as shown in FIG. 19, a jackpot occurrence display screen 420 consisting of the characters "big hit" is displayed on the display screen of the LCD.
The big hit occurrence display screen 420 is entirely composed of still image information. It should be noted that whether or not the combination display mode of the stop identification symbols (designs) 414 to 416 in the three horizontal rows displayed on the LCD corresponds to the jackpot prize mode depends on the game control board.
The determination is made by 200 award mode control means 204 (FIG. 1).

On the other hand, when the combination display mode of the stop identification symbols (symbols) 414 to 416 in three horizontal rows displayed on the LCD does not correspond to the jackpot prize mode, as shown in FIG. A loss display screen 430 composed of the characters “los” is displayed on the display screen of (1). This loss display screen 430 is entirely composed of still image information.

On the other hand, after the big hit occurrence display screen 420 is displayed, a big hit display screen 440 is displayed on the display screen of the LCD as shown in FIG. At the same time, based on the determination result of the prize mode control unit 204 of the game control board 200, the variable winning device drive control unit 205 excites the solenoid 65 of the variable winning device 60 via the driver 210 as shown in FIG. . As a result, both first movable pieces of the variable winning device 60
As shown in FIG. 14, 64 is opened, the variable winning device 60 is changed to a second state advantageous to the player, and the special game is started.

At the bottom of the jackpot display screen 440, two windows 441 and 442 are displayed on the left and right, as shown in FIG.
The continuation count 443 is displayed. The continuation number 443 is displayed as “1” for the first time, and is displayed up to “16” on condition that the continuation condition of the special game is achieved. As a continuation condition of the special game, the hit ball that has passed within the interval between the two second movable pieces 66 in the open state of the variable winning device 60 is a continuation detector.
The condition is that it is detected by SW2 (FIG. 5).

That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the detection signal from the continuation detector SW2 is counted inside the game control board 200, and the count value is displayed as the continuation number 443. The window 442 on the right side in FIG.
Inside, the winning number of hit balls 444 is displayed, this winning number 4
44 displays numbers from “0” to “9”. In the winning number 444, “0” is displayed immediately after the start of the special game, and thereafter, every time a hit ball hit in the variable winning device 60 is detected by the winning detector SW3 (FIG. 5), the game control is performed. Substrate 2
It is counted inside 00, and the count value is sequentially displayed from “1” to “9”. Then, when the count value is “1”
When the number reaches "0", the special game of this time ends.

That is, when the count value reaches “10”, the variable winning device drive control means 205 demagnetizes the solenoid 65 of the variable winning device 60 via the driver 210 as shown in FIG. As a result, the first of the floating winning device 60
The movable piece 64 is closed as shown in FIG.
60 returns from the second state to the first state which is disadvantageous for the player.

The condition for ending the special game depends on whether the count value reaches “10”, a predetermined time after the start of the special game, for example, 25 seconds, or whichever condition has been reached. The round game ends. Of course, if the continuation condition is achieved during the current game, the next continuous game is started after the current game is completed. And
The continuous game is continued up to a maximum of “15” times, and the special game is completed after the end of the last continuous game. Then, the display screen of the LCD returns to the normal display screen 400 as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, after the end of the special game, if the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1 (FIG. 5) is stored, the image game using the LCD is started again. For this reason, a fluctuation display screen 410 is displayed on the display screen of the LCD as shown in FIG. On the other hand, if the continuation condition has not been achieved during the game,
With the current game, the special game ends.

As shown in FIG. 21, in the big hit display screen 440, only the number of continuations 443 and the number of winnings 444 in the left and right windows 441 and 442 are composed of the variable image information, and the remaining surrounding framework is composed of the still image information. I have. On the other hand, when the continuation condition is achieved, the LCD display screen displays FIG.
As shown in FIG.
Is displayed temporarily. The continuous display screen 450 is composed entirely of still image information.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23, on the LCD display screen, a continuation display 445 consisting of the characters “continuation” is displayed in the upper part of the jackpot display screen 440 shown in FIG. 21 described above. It should be noted that “10” in the window 441 on the left side in the same screen 450 indicates the number of continuations 443, and “6” in the window 442 on the right side indicates the winning number 474. Then, in the jackpot display screen 470, the number of continuations 443 and the number of prizes in the windows 441, 442 on the lower left and right sides on both sides
Only 444 is composed of the variable image information, and the whole is composed of the still image information including the remaining continuous display 445 in the upper stage.

Next, the operation state of the game control board 200 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the main flow of the game control board 200 will be described with reference to FIG. In step 500, I / O ports are initialized. That is, the main buffer gate 235 and the main output port 237 of the game control board 200 are initialized (FIG. 15). Note that the sub low-pass filter 369, the sub output port 370, and the LCD controller 310 of the image display control board 300 are initialized similarly.

Next, the routine proceeds to step 501, where the RAM is cleared. That is, the main RA of the game control board 200
M232 is initialized (FIG. 15). Then, step 502
The normal display code is set. Based on the ordinary display code, an ordinary display screen 400 shown in FIG. 16 is selectively displayed on the display screen of the LCD.

Then, the process proceeds to a step 503, wherein it is determined whether or not a variable display flag described later is set. This determination is made by the main CPU 230 of the game control board 200 (FIG. 15). When the variable display flag is not set, as shown in FIG. 24, the process proceeds from step 503 to step 504, where it is determined whether or not the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1 is stored. This judgment also
This is performed by the main CPU 230 of the game control board 200 (FIG. 15).

If the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1 is not stored, the process proceeds from step 504 to step 505 as shown in FIG. 24, and further, the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1. Is determined. This determination is also made by the main CPU 230 of the game control board 200 (FIG. 15). When there is no specific winning signal input from the specific winning signal generating means SW1, as shown in FIG.
Then, it is determined whether or not the image display control 300 has data to be transmitted. This determination is also made by the main CPU 230 of the game control board 200 (FIG. 15).

If there is no transmission data, as shown in FIG. 24, the process proceeds from step 506 to step 507, where lamp display processing is performed. The lamp display processing in step 507 will be described later with reference to FIG. After the end of the lamp display process, as shown in FIG. 24, the process proceeds from step 507 to step 508, where the audio output process is performed. This sound output process is performed by the main CPU 230 of the game control board 200, and various sound effects are generated from the speaker 72 (FIG. 1).
5).

Further, after the voice output processing, as shown in FIG. 24, the process proceeds from step 508 to step 509, where random number processing is performed. That is, the random number of the random number generation means 201 of the game control board 200 is updated (FIG. 1). The random number processing includes a jackpot random number process for generating a jackpot random number for determining whether or not a jackpot is determined, and a stop symbol generation process for generating a stop symbol.

In the jackpot random number processing, for example, if the jackpot probability is 1/200, at a predetermined timing, the previous value is incremented by 1 and returned to “0” when the value reaches the predetermined value. That is, 0
Random numbers are generated in the range of ~ 199. In the stop symbol generation process, the stop symbol generation random number is updated, and a random number value is taken from the stop symbol generation random number to generate a stop symbol.

If the created stop symbol is a symbol forming a big hit, it is stored in the big hit stop symbol storage area. On the other hand, in the case of a symbol forming a loss, the symbol is stored in the loss symbol storage area. Specifically, the stop symbol data to be generated is composed of “left symbol data, middle symbol data, right symbol data”, and the symbols displayed on the left, middle, and right windows are, for example, “0” to “ In the case of "9", the stop symbol generation random number generates a value of 0-9. Then, at a predetermined timing, the values of 0 to 9 are fetched, and the left symbol data of the previously generated stopped symbol data is shifted to overflow (erase).
The middle symbol data is shifted to the left symbol data to be the left symbol data, the right symbol data is shifted to the middle symbol data as the middle symbol data, and the right symbol data is the value of the random number for the stopped symbol generation taken in this time. Is set as right symbol data to form stopped symbol data.

If the newly formed stop symbol data is a big hit stop symbol, it is stored in a big hit stop symbol storage area, and if it is a lose stop symbol, it is stored in a loss stop symbol storage area. After the random number processing in step 509, the process returns to step 505 as shown in FIG. on the other hand,
If the variable display flag has been set in step 503, the process proceeds to step 510, where variable display processing is performed. The variable display processing in step 510 will be described later with reference to FIGS. After the variable display process ends, the process proceeds from step 510 to step 505.

If the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1 is stored in the previous step 504, the process proceeds to step 511 as shown in FIG.
“1” is subtracted from the stored value. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 24, the process proceeds from step 511 to step 512, where variable display start processing is performed. The variable display start processing in step 512 will be described later with reference to FIG.

After the variable display start processing is completed, the process proceeds from step 512 to step 505 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, in step 505, when there is an input of the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1, as shown in FIG. 24, the process proceeds to step 513, where the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1 is input. It is determined whether or not the stored value has reached the maximum value, that is, “4” or more. This judgment is also a game control board
This is performed by the main CPU 230 of FIG.

If the stored value of the specific winning signal is less than 4, the process proceeds from step 513 to step 514 as shown in FIG. 24, where "1" is added to the stored value of the specific winning signal. Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
Proceeding to 5, read and store the jackpot random number value (the random number value that determines whether or not the jackpot is generated) generated in the jackpot random number processing of the random number processing in step 509.

That is, the random number of the random number generation means 201 of the game control board 200 is read by the prize mode control means 204. After the reading of the random numbers is completed, the process proceeds from step 515 to step 506 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, if the stored value of the specific winning signal from the specific winning signal generating means SW1 is "4" or more in step 513, the process directly proceeds to step 506 as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if there is transmission data in step 506, as shown in FIG.
Proceeding to 6, it is determined whether or not the image display device 50 has been activated. As shown in FIG. 15, the main CPU 2 of the game control board 200 determines whether or not a ready signal has been transmitted from the sub communication driver 371 of the image display control board 300.
The determination is made at 30.

If the image display device 50 has not been started, as shown in FIG.
Proceed directly to. On the other hand, when the image display device 50 is activated, the process proceeds from step 506 to step 517, as shown in FIG. 24, and the transmission process is performed. In this transmission process, as shown in FIG.

R of the color specified by the color specification data of 65 (FIG. 15)
The mixture ratio of the three primary colors (red), G (green), and B (blue) is read. The reading of the mixing ratio of the three primary colors is performed by the designated color mixing means 352 of the image display control board 300 shown in FIG.
Is performed by the sub CPU 360 shown in FIG. More specifically, the three primary color filters of R, G, and B are superposed on each liquid crystal matrix of the LCD for control.

For this reason, R, G, B are simply turned on / off.
By controlling, 2 ³ = 8 per one liquid crystal matrix, and 8 colors can be displayed with 3-bit data. On the other hand, if the R, G, and B luminances are controlled in eight gradations, respectively,
With 8 ³ = 2 ⁹ = 512 per one liquid crystal matrix, 512 colors can be displayed with 9-bit data.

However, when 9-bit data is required, the data amount of the color designation data increases dramatically. For this reason, in this embodiment, any eight colors can be selected from among the 512 colors. For this reason, the color designation data is composed of 3 bits. Compared to the case where R, G, B are simply ON / OFF controlled, even if the number of colors is the same, 8 colors selected from 512 colors are selected. Since it can be used, a variety of colors suitable for pachinko games can be adopted.

[0222] If 9 gradations are used, 729 colors can be selected. If the color designation data is 4 bits, 16 colors can be selected. Therefore, the sub CPU 360
As shown in FIG. 5, the mixing ratio of the three primary colors stored in the font ROM 364 is extracted for each color specified based on the 3-bit color specification data stored in the V-RAM 365.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG.
From 0, the flow advances to step 831 to output R (red) dimming data. More specifically, the dimming data is output from the sub CPU 360 to the LCD via the LCD controller 310 as shown in FIG. The brightness of R of the LCD is controlled based on the dimming data based on the previously extracted mixture ratio.

After the output of the R dimming data, as shown in FIG. 41, the process proceeds from step 831 to step 832, where the G (green) dimming data is output. The brightness of the LCD G is controlled based on the dimming data based on the previously extracted mixture ratio. After outputting the dimming data of G, as shown in FIG. 41, the process proceeds from step 832 to step 833 to output dimming data of B (blue). The brightness of the LCD B is controlled based on the dimming data based on the previously extracted mixture ratio.

Therefore, the pallet processing allows the LCD
In this case, a color liquid crystal display using any eight colors selected from 512 colors is performed. Next, the timer interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the timer interrupt process is sequentially executed, and in step 840, various timers are updated.

Next, the reception interruption processing will be described with reference to FIG. That is, in step 850, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, control code data transmitted from the main communication driver 238 of the game control board 200 via the sub-low-pass filter 369 of the image display control board 300 is written to the sub-buffer gate 368.

[0227]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. (Claim 1) According to the invention described in claim 1, the following effects are obtained.

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, by making it possible to use designated colors suitable for pachinko games, it is possible to reduce the amount of data stored and the amount of processing. In addition, by storing the image information separately into the still image information and the variable image information, the total amount of the image information to be stored can be reduced.

Further, since the image display control board and the game control board are divided, the programs of both boards can be simplified, and the two programs can be divided and developed efficiently. The development period can be shortened. Furthermore, it is possible to develop a new pachinko machine simply by changing one of the two programs.

Further, since the programs can be distributed to both substrates, that is, the control programs for controlling both substrates can be distributed, processing can be performed at high speed without concentration of processing on one CPU. Further, runaway of the CPU can be suppressed.
