In a state of being inserted and engaged in the portion 15, a predetermined screw passes through the horizontal piece 17 and the engagement piece 19 and is screwed into the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, so that the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame It is fixed to the plate 11. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 penetrates the side frames 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state where the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the upper side inner side surfaces of the side frames 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18 so that the upper frame plate 10 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected. The rear vertical piece 18 of the connecting member 14 fixed to the upper frame plate 10 is fixed to the side frame plates 12 and 13 while being inserted into the protruding portions 16 of the side frame plates 12 and 13. It is like that. Further, the connecting member 14 fixed to the lower frame plate 11 penetrates the side frame bodies 12 and 13 with a predetermined screw in a state in which the vertical piece 18 is in contact with the lower side inner side surfaces of the side frame bodies 12 and 13. Is screwed into the vertical piece 18 so that the lower frame plate 11 and the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be connected to each other, and the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 are connected by the four connecting members 14. The side frame plates 12 and 13 can be assembled into a frame shape.

  The outer frame 2 of the present example is fixed to a predetermined position inside the lower portion of the left side frame plate 12 that is disposed so as to face the upper support bracket 20 and the upper support bracket 20 that is fixed to the upper surface of the left end of the upper frame plate 10. Fixed to the lower support bracket 21, the reinforcing bracket 22 arranged to support the lower surface of the lower support bracket 21 and fixed to connect the left and right side frame plates 12, 13, and fixed to the front surface of the reinforcement bracket 22. The decorative cover 23 is provided. The upper support bracket 20 and the lower support bracket 21 are for pivotally supporting the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 so that they can be opened and closed.

  First, the upper support fitting 20 includes a plate-like fixed piece 20a fixed to the upper frame plate 10, a support protruding piece 20b protruding forward from the front end of the fixed piece 20a to the front end of the upper frame plate 10, and a support protrusion. The support side wall 20c formed by being cut out so as to bend from the right end near the front end of the piece 20b toward the center of the tip, and the left side frame depending from the left end of the fixed piece 20 and the support protruding piece 20b. A plate-shaped hanging fixing piece 20d (see FIG. 14A) that contacts the outer side surface of the plate 12, and a hanging wall 20e that continues to the hanging fixing piece 20d and hangs along the outer edge of the support protruding piece 20b (see FIG. 14). 14) and a stop drooping portion 20f (see FIG. 15) that is continuous with the drooping wall 20e and is inclined inward at the entrance end of the supporting saddle hole 20c. A shaft support pin 633 (see FIG. 63) of an upper shaft support bracket 630 in the main body frame 3 to be described later is detachably engaged with the support hole 20c in the upper support bracket 20. Further, the upper support bracket 20 can connect the upper frame plate 10 and the left side frame plate 12 by a fixing piece 20a and a hanging fixing piece 20d.

  The strength of the support protrusion 20b is enhanced by a hanging wall 20e depending from the outer edge of the support protrusion 20b. The details of the upper support metal 20 will be described later. The lock member 27 arranged on the back surface of the player can be concealed so that it cannot be seen from the player side, and the appearance can be improved. Further, the support hole 20c formed in the support projecting piece 20b is bent in a square shape so as to be inclined from the side of the opposite side (right side) where the hanging wall 20e is not formed toward the center of the tip. In addition, the width dimension of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c is slightly larger than the diameter of the pivot pin 633.

  On the other hand, the lower support bracket 21 includes a horizontal fixing piece 21a that is placed and fixed on the reinforcing metal fitting 22, and a vertical fixing piece that rises upward from the left end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a and is fixed to the inner side surface of the left side frame plate 12. 21b, a plate-like support projecting piece 21c projecting forward from the front end of the horizontal fixing piece 21a to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, and a pin shape projecting upward from the vicinity of the front end of the support projecting piece 21c Support projections 21d. A main body frame pivot formed on a main body frame pivot bracket 644 (see FIG. 66, etc.) of the main body frame 3 to be described later is inserted into the support protrusion 21d of the lower support bracket 21. After the support protrusion 21d of the support bracket 21 is inserted into the support hole of the main body frame pivot support 644 in the main body frame 3, the pivot support pin 633 of the upper pivot support 630 of the main body frame 3 is locked to the support stud 20c. Thus, the main body frame 3 can be pivotally supported so as to be freely opened and closed.

  In addition, as shown in the figure, the outer frame 2 of this example has two closing plates 24 and 25 that are disposed at a predetermined distance apart in the vertical direction inside the right side frame plate 13. The closing plates 24 and 25 are formed in a substantially L shape in a plan view, and the closing plate 25 disposed on the lower side has a rectangular opening 25a penetrating in the front-rear direction (see FIG. 9). The closing plates 24 and 25 are hook portions 1054 and 1065 (see FIG. 93) of the locking device 1000 that are attached along the open side of the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2. As will be described in detail later, the hooks 1054 and 1065 are disengaged from the closing plates 24 and 25 by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010 of the locking device 1000 and turning it to one side. Thus, the main body frame 3 can be opened with respect to the outer frame 2.

  Furthermore, the outer frame 2 of this example further includes a guide plate 26 fixed to the upper surface of the right end of the reinforcing metal fitting 22. This guide plate 26 is used to smoothly guide the main body frame 3 when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, and is mounted and fixed in a replaceable manner.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 and the like, the outer frame 2 of the present example further includes a lock member 27 supported on the back surface of the support projecting piece 20b in the upper support metal fitting 20, and the support projecting piece 20b is supported by a rivet 28. On the other hand, it is pivotally supported. The lock member 27 is made of synthetic resin, and has a stopper portion 27a that protrudes forward from a position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28, and is shorter than the stopper portion 27a rightward from the position that is pivotally supported by the rivet 28. The protruding operation part 27b, the elastic piece 27c protruding from the opposite side of the position supported by the rivet 28 with respect to the operation part 27b, and the front end of the stopper part 27a are formed to bulge forward. An arcuate tip surface 27d. As shown in the figure, the lock member 27 is formed in a substantially L shape by a stopper portion 27a and an operation portion 27b. Further, the elastic portion 27c of the lock member 27 is formed to have a narrower width than the stopper portion 27a and the operation portion 27b, and is formed to extend forward as the distance from the stopper portion 27a increases.

  As shown in FIGS. 14B and 15, the lock member 27 is configured such that the tip contact portion of the elastic piece 27 c is the hanging wall when supported by the support protrusion piece 20 b of the upper support fitting 20 (normal state). 20e is in contact with the inner surface of the stopper 20a, and the stopper 27a closes the inclined hole of the supporting hole 20c. The tip of the stopper 27a is inclined to the inclined hole of the supporting hole 20c. The head space portion is not closed, and a space in which the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 can be inserted is formed in the head space portion of the support hole 20c. .

  The support mechanism of the pivot pin 633 using the upper support fitting 20 and the lock member 27 in this example is such that the pivot pin 633 is inserted into the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c so that the stopper portion 27a The tip side faces the stop drooping portion 20f at the inlet end (in this state, there is a slight gap between the tip side of the stopper portion 27a and the stop drooping portion 20f so that the abutting portion is in contact). In a normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 positioned in the tip space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support rod hole 20c formed by bending and the tip surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a are respectively provided. The center is in a state of being offset in an oblique direction and facing each other. In this normal shaft support state, the shaft support pin 633 supporting the heavy body frame 3 is in contact with the tip end portion of the support saddle hole 20c. Since almost no load is applied to the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not loaded. In addition, since the arcuate tip end surface 27d is provided at the tip of the stopper portion 27a, the lock member 27 is smoothly rotated when the operation portion 27b is rotated to rotate the lock member 27. It has become. In the drawing, the center of the arc of the tip surface 27d is the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in the direction in which the shaft supporting pin 633 is pulled out along the inclination of the inclined hole portion of the support hole 20c and comes into contact with the arcuate tip end surface 27d, the acting force F is Component force F1 acting on the contact portion between the pin 633 and the arcuate tip end surface 27d (in the normal direction of the arc of the tip end surface 27d), and one side of the inclined hole portion of the shaft support pin 633 and the support hole 20c When divided into the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the inner surface, the direction of the component force F1 faces the center of the rivet 28 (the rotation center of the lock member 27). The moment for rotating the tip part in the direction away from the support protruding piece 20b (clockwise in the figure) does not act, and the pivot pin 633 is formed between the tip part of the stopper part 27a of the lock member 27 and the inclined hole part of the support collar hole 20c. Maintain the state of being pinched between the inner surface of one side. To. Therefore, the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 is not always loaded even in a normal shaft support state or in a state where the acting force of the shaft support pin 633 is applied to the lock member 27, and is an elastic formed integrally with synthetic resin. It is possible to prevent plastic deformation due to creep of the piece 27c and to prevent the pivot pin 633 from coming off from the support hole 20c over a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 is rotated in a direction away from the support projecting piece 20b (clockwise in the figure), one side of the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a. Does not rotate in a direction in which it comes into contact with the stop drooping portion 20f and disengages any further, so that the lock member 27 does not protrude beyond the support protruding piece 20b.

  Even if the shape of the distal end surface 27d of the stopper portion 27a is not an arc, the position where the rotational moment does not occur due to the action of the component force F1 or the distal end portion of the lock member 27 faces the outside of the support protruding piece 20b. By positioning the rotation center of the lock member 27 (the axis fixed by the rivet 28) at a position where a rotational moment to rotate is generated, no load is applied to the elastic piece 27c of the lock member 27 at all times. Since the one side of the tip end of the stopper portion 27a only abuts against the stop drooping portion 20f even when the member 27 rotates, the present applicant points out that the lock member 27 does not protrude outside the support protruding piece 20b. I have confirmed.

  The action of the lock member 27 of this example will be specifically described with reference to FIG. As a premise that the main body frame 3 is pivotally supported on the outer frame 2 so as to be freely opened and closed, a lower support bracket is mounted on a main body frame pivot support hole (not shown) formed in a main body frame pivot support bracket 644 (see FIG. 63). 21 support protrusions 21d need to be inserted. Under such a premise, as shown in FIG. 16A, the shaft support pin 633 of the upper shaft support fitting 630 of the main body frame 3 is pressed against the side surface of the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27, thereby pushing As shown in FIG. 16B, the lock member 27 rotates counterclockwise while deforming the elastic piece 27c, so that the shaft support pin 633 can be inserted into the support rod hole 20c. Then, when the shaft support pin 633 reaches the head space portion of the inclined hole portion of the support flange 20c, as shown in FIG. 16C, the shaft support pin 633 and the tip side surface of the stopper portion 27a do not contact each other. Therefore, the lock member 27 is urged by the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c and rotates in the clockwise direction, and the stopper portion 27a of the lock member 27 returns to the normal state again and closes the inlet portion of the support hole 20c. The distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a faces the shaft support pin 633 so that the shaft support pin 633 does not fall out of the support saddle hole 20c.

  This state is maintained even when the main body frame 3 is completely closed or during the normal opening / closing operation of the main body frame 3 as shown in FIG. Next, in order to remove the pivot pin 633 from the support saddle hole 20c, as shown in FIG. 16E, the finger is inserted into the back surface of the support protrusion piece 20b, and the operation portion 27b of the lock member 27 is turned counterclockwise. By rotating, the lock member 27 rotates against the elastic force of the elastic piece 27c, and the distal end portion of the stopper portion 27a is retracted from the support rod hole 20c, so that the shaft support pin 633 is supported. It can be taken out from the hole 20c. Thereafter, the main body frame 3 is lifted, and the main body frame 3 is detached from the outer frame 2 by releasing the engagement between the main body frame shaft support hole formed in the main body frame shaft support metal 644 and the support protrusion 21d of the lower support metal 21. It can be removed from.

  As described above, in the outer frame 2 of this example, the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 constituting the outline of the outer frame 2 are made of wood, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of a lightweight metal ( For example, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility lined up in a game hall, it is necessary to perform an operation of fixing it at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical plane of the island. However, since such an operation is performed by nailing nails to the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11 and the island, the nails can be easily nailed, and the pachinko machine 1 can be used without problems in existing island facilities. It can be installed. In addition, since the side frame plates 12 and 13 are made of lightweight metal (for example, aluminum alloy) extrusion mold material, it becomes possible to form a thin wall while maintaining strength as compared with a conventional wooden outer frame. The left and right widths when viewed from the front of the peripheral wall portion 605 (see FIG. 63, etc.) of the main body frame 3 adjacent to the inside of the side frame plates 12 and 13 can be widened, and the game board 4 has a large horizontal dimension. Can be mounted on the main body frame 3, and at the same time, the game area 1100 of the game board 4 can be formed large.

  Further, the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12, 13 constituting the outline of the outer frame 2 are connected by a connecting member 14, and the connecting member 14 is connected to the side frame plates 12, 13. Since it is fixed in close contact with the inner surface and the connecting member 14 is engaged with the upper frame plate 10 and the lower frame plate 11, the assembly strength of the outer frame 2 can be increased, and it is sturdy. It can be made into a rectangular frame. Further, after the upper frame plate 10, the lower frame plate 11, and the side frame plates 12 and 13 are connected by the connecting member 14, when the upper support fitting 20 is attached at a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. Since there is no member projecting outward from the outer surface (outer peripheral surface) of the frame plates 10, 11, 12, and 13, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in an island facility of a game hall (not shown), an adjacent device (for example, It can be attached in close contact with the adjacent ball lending machine.

It has. The locking piece 422c can be locked to the upper dish front decoration member 316 in the dish unit 300, and by locking the locking piece 422c to the upper dish front decoration member 316, The operation unit 400 can be prevented from coming out upward from the operation unit mounting portion 314c.

  The upper cover 422 is configured such that the dial operation unit 401 is attached to the base member 420 from the lower side with respect to the opening 422a with the operation unit holding member 416, the driven gear 410, the dial decoration board 430, the dial member 401, and the like attached thereto. By covering the upper part of the base member 420 so as to pass, it is possible to prevent the dial operation unit 401 from being pulled upward by the opening 422a.

  On the other hand, the lower cover 424 of the operation unit 400 has a box shape with the upper part opened, and has an outer peripheral shape substantially coincident with the outer periphery of the upper cover 422. A positioning protrusion 424a that can be fitted into the positioning hole 420f at the lower end of 420d is provided. The lower cover 424 is provided with engaging portions 424b that can be engaged with the engaging claws 422b of the upper cover 422 at both upper portions in the major axis direction (left and right direction in the pachinko machine 1). The upper cover 422 can be attached to the lower cover 424 by engaging the engaging claws 422b.

  As shown in the figure, the cover main body 426 in the operation unit 400 has an opening 426a that passes through the center in the vertical direction and through which the upper cover 422 can pass, and extends outward from the left and right sides of the opening 426a.

  The operation unit 400 of this example is attached to the dish unit 300 via the fixing part 426b of the cover main body 426. Although not shown in detail, the operation unit 400 is attached to the operation unit attachment part 314c of the dish unit 300. In the state, the operation unit 400 (lower cover 424) is attached in a state where the lower surface of the operation unit 400 (lower cover 424) is slightly lifted from the upper surface of the operation unit attachment portion 314c (for example, 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm). The cover body 426 can be elastically deformed to reduce the impact when it is pressed or hit.

  In the operation unit 400, with the inner cover 427 and the front cover 428 removed, the fixing portion 426b of the cover body 426 is attached with a predetermined screw to the operation unit attachment portion 314c of the dish unit 300, and then The inner cover 427 and the front cover 428 are attached to the upper surface of the cover main body 426.

  In the operation unit 400 of the present embodiment, the rotation detection piece 410c of the driven gear 410 that rotates together with the dial operation unit 401 has a circumferential length in the slit between the adjacent rotation detection pieces 410c and the circumference of the rotation detection piece 410c. The length in the direction is the same length. In addition, the pair of rotation detection sensors 432 a and 432 b attached to the button decoration board 432 has an interval in the circumferential direction corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 that is 2.5 times the length in the circumferential direction of the rotation detection piece 410. It is said that. Thereby, although details will be described later, when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401, a time lag occurs in the detection / non-detection of the rotation detection piece 410c by the pair of rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b, and each rotation detection is detected. The direction in which the dial operation unit 401 is rotating can be detected from the detection pattern of the rotation detection piece 410c by the sensors 432a and 432b.

  The operation unit 400 of the present example, as will be described in detail later, can rotate the dial operation unit 401 clockwise or counterclockwise by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414. . Further, the operation unit 400 rotates the dial operation unit 401 step by step by the driving force of the dial drive motor 414 using a stepping motor, or when the player rotates the dial operation unit 401, Rotation can be assisted, it can be prevented from turning on purpose, or a click can be added to the rotation. Further, the operation unit 400 can vibrate the dial operation unit 401 by repeatedly rotating the dial drive motor 414 forward and backward in small increments.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 50, in the operation unit 400 of this example, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed downward, the stepped portion 407 a of the button cap 407 comes into contact with the protruding portion 401 f of the dial operating unit 401, and the button cap Since 407 (press operation part 405) cannot be further immersed into the inner cylinder part 401e, the load applied to the press operation part 405 is dialed via the step part 407a and the protrusion part 401f. The operation unit 401 can be dispersed, and the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400) is not easily broken.

  Further, the operation unit 400 of this example presses the pressing operation unit 405 so that the dial drive motor 414 is adjusted in small increments while the stepped portion 407a of the button cap 407 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operating unit 401 are in contact with each other. By repeatedly rotating and reversing, the pressing operation unit 405 can be vibrated together with the dial operation unit 401, and the player can be surprised by the vibration of the pressing operation unit 405 so that the game and production can be enjoyed. It has become.

  According to the operation unit 400 of this example, the dial operation unit 401 that can be rotated by the player and the pressing operation unit 405 that can be pressed are supported by the metal base member 420. Since the strength can be increased, it is possible to prevent the operation unit 400 from being damaged even if a player or the like hits the operation units 401 and 405 strongly, and the operation units 401 and 405 can be freely attached to the player. In addition to being able to operate, it is possible to improve the operability of the operation units 401 and 405, and to prevent the player's interest in the game from deteriorating by enjoying the effects using the operation units 401 and 405. it can.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is arranged at the center of the annular dial operation unit 401. If the pressing operation unit 405 is struck strongly, the dial operation unit 401 is also struck, The force of hitting 401 and 405 can be distributed to the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405, and it is possible to prevent the hitting impact from being concentrated and prevent the operation unit 400 and the dish unit 300 from being damaged. Therefore, the operation units 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 can be made to withstand strong hits, and the player can freely operate the operation units 401 and 405. It is possible to improve the operability of 405 and to entertain the performance using the operation units 401 and 405 and to suppress the decrease in interest for the game. Door can be.

  Further, the base member 420 and the like of the operation unit 400 are accommodated in the recessed operation unit mounting portion 314c of the dish unit 300, and a predetermined amount of gap is formed between the lower end of the base member 420 and the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. As shown, when the cover main body 426 attached to the base member 420 is fixed to the upper surface of the dish unit 300 and the operation parts 401 and 405 of the operation unit 400 are hit to give an impact or a load is applied, Until the lower end of the operation unit 400 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c, the cover body 426 can absorb an impact and a load by elastic deformation, and the lower end of the operation unit 400 is connected to the bottom surface of the operation unit mounting portion 314c. After the contact, an impact is caused by the bottom of the operation unit mounting portion 314c (the dish unit 300). Since the load can be received, the impacts from the operation units 401 and 405 can be dispersed and the impacts can be prevented from being concentrated. Can be increased.

  Furthermore, the base member 420 is provided with a plurality of legs 420e protruding downward from positions where the operation parts 401 and 405 are supported, and the legs 420e of the base member 420 are the operation units in the dish unit 300. Even when the impact from the operation portions 401 and 405 is applied to the base member 420 by contacting the bottom surface of the mounting portion 314c, the leg portions 420e are not arranged immediately below the impact, so the operation portions 401 and 405 in the base member 420 are not provided. The portion that supports the base plate is bent by the impact, and the base member 420 is bent (elastically deformed), so that the shock from the operation units 401 and 405 can be absorbed to some extent, and the base member 420 is applied to the dish unit 300. It is possible to reduce the impact and prevent the dish unit 300 from being damaged.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is held by the operation unit holding member 416 attached to the base member 420 from below so that a part of the dial operation unit 401 overlaps the base member 420 in plan view. Even when the operation unit holding member 416 that holds the dial operation unit 401 moves away from the base member 420 when the operation unit 401 is struck from the upper side, the dial operation unit 401 comes into contact with the upper surface of the base member 420. The base member 420 can restrict the downward movement of the dial operation unit 401 and can satisfactorily prevent the dial operation unit 401 from falling.

  Furthermore, since the dial operation unit 401 having the pressing operation unit 405 disposed at the center is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 according to the gaming state, the dial operation unit 401 rotates freely (rotation drive including vibration). Thus, the player can be surprised and attention can be paid to the effects produced by the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can be entertained. The effects using the 401 (press operation unit 405) can be made more difficult to get tired of, and it is possible to suppress the player's interest in games from being reduced.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 is rotated by the dial drive motor 414 via the driven gear 410 and the drive gear 412, and the position of the rotation axis of the dial drive motor 414 is, as a matter of course, the dial operation unit 401 (driven gear). 410), even if the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 is strongly struck, the impact is transmitted via the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401. Direct dial drive motor 414 can be avoided and damage to dial drive motor 414 (operation unit 400) can be prevented.

  Furthermore, since the opening 420a of the base member 420 has a smaller diameter than the dial operation unit 401, the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the gear rail 416a of the operation unit holding member 416 through the opening 420a. Even if the gear rail 416a (operation unit holding member 416) moves downward due to an impact or load from 401, the dial operation unit 401 can abut on the upper surface of the opening 420a of the base member 420, and the dial operation unit 401 becomes the base member. It is possible to reliably prevent a drop from 420. Further, since the dial operation unit 401 is supported by the annular gear rail 416a, the contact area between the dial operation unit 401 and the operation unit holding member 416 (gear rail 416a) can be increased. It is possible to prevent the operation portion holding member 416 from being damaged by dispersing the impact and load from the operation.

  Further, since the dial drive motor 414 for rotating the dial operation unit 401 is attached to the metal base member 420, the dial operation unit 401 is frequently rotated by the dial drive motor 414, or the dial drive motor 414 is driven. Although the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 is forcibly stopped by the player despite being driven by the rotation, even if the amount of heat generated due to excessive load on the dial drive motor 414 increases, The heat generated from the dial drive motor 414 can be dissipated and radiated satisfactorily through the base member 420, and it is possible to prevent the dial drive means 414 from being defective due to overheating, and the dial drive means 414. Can withstand high loads , It is possible to sufficiently embody the effect of the dial operation unit 401 using a dial driving means 414 as described above, can be pachinko machine 1 to be entertained player.

  Furthermore, rotation detection sensors 432a and 432b that detect the rotation of the dial operation unit 401 and a press detection sensor 432c that detects the press of the press operation unit 405 are provided. The dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 are provided. Rotation operation and pressing operation can be detected, so that it is possible to produce an effect according to the player's operation based on the detection signal, and it is more effective for the player who operates the operation units 401 and 405. It is possible to provide an experience with a bodily sensation, and to suppress the interest of the game from deteriorating by making the player entertained. In addition, a dial decoration board 430 and a button decoration board 432 for decorating the operation parts 401 and 405 are provided, and the operation parts 401 and 405 can be decorated with light emission, so that the operation parts 401 and 405 emit light. Thus, the player's interest can be attracted to the operation units 401 and 405, and the player can easily operate the operation units 401 and 405.

  Further, when the pressing operation portion 405 in the operation unit 400 is pressed, the step portion 407a of the pressing operation portion 405 and the protruding portion 401f of the dial operation portion 401 are in contact with each other, so that the player can press the pressing operation portion 405. When the dial is pressed, the dial operation unit 401 is vibrated by repeating forward and reverse rotations within a predetermined angle range by the dial drive motor 414, thereby allowing the dial operation unit 401 to contact the projecting portion 401f of the dial operation unit 401 via the step 407a. The pressing operation unit 405 can also be vibrated. Therefore, since it is possible to give the player a feeling of operation with respect to the pressing operation 405 without separately providing a vibrator or the like for vibrating the pressing operation unit 405, an effect using the operation unit 400 can be enjoyed. It can suppress that the interest with respect to a game falls. Further, since the pressing operation unit 405 vibrates when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the player can be greatly surprised by the movement of the pressing operation unit 405 that the user thought would not move. It is possible to make it seem that there is something, and it is possible to increase the sense of expectation for the game and suppress the interest from deteriorating. Therefore, unlike the conventional operation unit, the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 move freely, so that the player's interest can be strongly attracted to the operation unit 400, and the player can participate in the production using the operation unit 400. It is possible to facilitate the operation of the operation unit 400 to the player, and the enjoyment of the game by reducing the operation of the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the operation unit 400 is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 are in contact with each other, so that the force from the pressing operation unit 405 can be transmitted to the dial operation unit 401 side. Even when the pressing operation unit 405 is struck, the load and impact applied to the pressing operation unit 405 can be dispersed also on the dial operation unit 401 side, and load resistance and impact resistance against the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed. Can be increased. Therefore, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is struck, it is possible to prevent the pressing operation unit 405 from being damaged. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to damage to the pressing operation unit 405 (operation unit 400). It is possible to prevent a player's interest in games from being reduced due to the interruption of the game.

  Further, the pressing operation unit 405 is supported so as to be rotatable only within a predetermined angle range with respect to the axial center extending in the vertical direction. When the player presses the pressing operation unit 405, the dial is driven. Even if the dial operation unit 401 is driven to rotate by the motor 414, the pressing operation unit 405 can be prevented from rotating together with the dial operation unit 401, so that the player can perform the dial operation in the operation unit 400. The role of each of the unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be surely recognized, and the player can easily enjoy the performance using the operation unit 400, and is guided to the upper surface of the pressing operation unit 405. The “PUSH” characters that have been played can be easily read from the player side without turning or tilting greatly, It is possible to reliably recognize that the part 405 is intended to pressing.

  In addition, the dial operation unit 401 includes a protruding portion 401f that protrudes from the inner periphery of the inner tube portion 401a toward the axial center, and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 has a smaller diameter than a predetermined position in the vertical direction. Since the step portion 407a is formed at the upper end of the operation unit 400, the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder portion 401a of the dial operation portion 401 and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing operation portion 405 can be brought as close as possible. It is possible to improve the appearance by reducing the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 as much as possible, and the inside of the operation unit 400 through the gap between the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405. It is possible to make it difficult for foreign matter such as dust and dust to enter, and it is difficult for the dial operation unit 401 to rotate due to the entry of foreign matter, and it is difficult to press the pressing operation unit 405. The occurrence of a problem it is possible to prevent that or Tsu.

  Further, the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is formed in an annular shape, and when the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed, which part of the circumferential direction with respect to the dial operation unit 401 is selected. Since the contact can be made even at a position, even if the pressing operation unit 405 is pressed with a feeling that it is tilted (a position that is biased toward the outer periphery from the center of the pressing operation unit 405), the dial operation unit 401 is reliably contacted. Therefore, the rotational drive from the dial drive motor 414 can be reliably transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, since the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 are annularly contacted, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be widely distributed to the dial operation unit 401 side. Impact resistance can be further increased.

  Further, since the contact portion between the pressing operation unit 405 and the dial operation unit 401 in the operation unit 400 is inclined so as to become lower toward the direction of the rotation axis of the dial operation unit 401, In comparison, the contact area can be relatively increased, and the driving force from the dial drive motor 414 can be easily transmitted to the pressing operation unit 405 side via the dial operation unit 401. In addition, the load from the pressing operation unit 405 can be distributed radially outward in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the rotation axis extends, and the load is prevented from being concentrated. The loadability and impact resistance can be reliably increased, the durability of the operation unit 400 can be increased, and the occurrence of problems during the game can be reduced as much as possible to reduce the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the dial drive motor 414 of the operation unit 400 is a stepping motor capable of forward / reverse rotation, the dial operation unit 401 is not simply rotated, but can be easily stopped at a predetermined position, or forward / reverse. The operation unit 400 (pachinko machine 1) that can be easily vibrated by repetition and that exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

  Further, since the operation unit 400 is supported by the dish unit 300 having the upper tray 301 for storing the game balls, the strength and rigidity of the dish unit 300 is high in order to store a large number of game balls. Thus, it is possible to sufficiently cope with a smashing of the operation unit 400 (pressing operation unit 405), and it is possible to easily entertain using the operation unit 400.

  Further, in the handle device 500, a locking projection 504b protruding rearward is formed on the handle main body 504, and the other end side (front end side) of the coiled handle return spring 522 is formed on the locking projection 504b. By being locked, the handle main body 504 is biased so as to rotate counterclockwise when viewed from the front by a handle return spring 522 attached to the handle base 502 at one end side.

  The handle device 500 of this example is attached to the handle attachment portion 114 of the door frame base main body 110 via the handle bracket 140. The handle mounting portion 114 of the door frame base body 110 is inclined so that its mounting surface faces the outside (open side) in a plan view as viewed from above. The device 500 is also tilted outward in plan view (in other words, the front end of the pachinko machine 1 is tilted so as to face the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line perpendicular to the front vertical plane of the pachinko machine 1). 5 to be fixedly attached. Thereby, it is easy for a player to grasp the handle device 500, and there is no sense of incongruity in the rotation operation, and it is easy to perform the rotation operation.

  Further, in the handle device 500, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is a variable resistor. When the handle main body 504 (the handle device 500) is rotated, the rotational position detection sensor 512 is connected via the shaft member 510 and the transmission gear 511. The detection shaft portion 512a rotates. Then, the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft portion 512a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 654 in the ball hitting device 650 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the rotational position detection sensor 512. Thus, the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle device 500.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle main body 504 and the front end cover 508 are conductively plated, and the touch sensor 516 detects contact when the player touches the handle main body 504 or the like. Then, when the touch sensor 516 detects a player's contact, if the handle body 504 rotates, the rotation drive of the firing solenoid 654 is controlled with the strength according to the rotation, and a game ball is driven. Can be done. That is, even if the player tries to drive the game ball by rotating the handle device 500 in some way without touching the handle device 500, the firing solenoid 654 is not driven and the game ball cannot be driven, The player can be prevented from playing a game different from the original, and the load (burden) associated with the game hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed can be reduced.

  Further, when the player presses the single button 520 while rotating the handle device 500, the firing stop switch 518 detects the operation of the single button 520, and the firing control unit 4120 (see FIG. 161) controls the firing solenoid 654. The rotational drive can be stopped. Thereby, even if it does not return rotation operation of the handle apparatus 500, while launching of a game ball can be stopped temporarily, before operating the single button 520 by operating the single button 520 release operation. A game ball can be launched with a driving strength.

  In the handle device 500 of this example, the rotation operation of the handle body 504 is electrically detected by the rotation position detection sensor 512, and then the launch control unit 4120 detects the rotation position from the rotation position detection sensor 512. Since the rotational driving strength of the launch solenoid 654 is controlled, the handle device 500 provided in the door frame 5 and the hitting ball launch device 650 provided in the main body frame 3 are connected to the door as in a conventional pachinko machine. It is not necessary to provide a mechanical (for example, joint unit) mechanism so that the frames 5 are linked to each other when the frame 5 is closed and the linkage is released when the door frame 5 is opened, and the configuration related to the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified. It is possible to eliminate the occurrence of defects in the joint unit, and to prevent the player's interest from deteriorating due to game ball driving defects It has to be able to bet.

The first ball outlet 544 a of the front cover 544 is connected to the upper plate ball supply port 310 c of the plate unit 300 through the notch 101 a of the door frame base unit 100. Further, the rear end of the lower dish ball supply rod 310h in the dish unit 300 is connected to the second ball outlet 544b through the ball passage opening 110f of the door frame base body 110.

  The foul cover unit 540 of the present example uses the first ball outlet to pass the game ball supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the first ball inlet 542a. From 544a, the plate unit 300 can be supplied to the upper plate 301 through the upper plate ball supply port 310c. Further, the foul cover unit 540 passes the game ball supplied from the full ball outlet 776 of the full tank branch unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 to the second ball inlet 542c through the second ball passage 542d. From 544b, it can be supplied to the lower plate 302 via the lower plate ball supply bowl 310h and the lower plate ball supply port 310g of the plate unit 300.

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 will be described in detail later, but when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the foul ball inlet 542e is positioned below the foul space 626 of the main body frame 3. When the game ball fired by the hit ball launching device 650 does not reach the game area 1100 and becomes a foul ball and falls in the foul space 626, it is received by the foul ball inlet 542e. Then, the foul cover unit 540 discharges (supply) the game balls received at the foul ball inlet 542e from the second ball outlet 544b to the lower plate 302 of the dish unit 300 through the foul ball passage 542f and the second ball passage 542d. ) Can be.

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 of the present example forms a side surface on the upstream side (left side in front view) of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and can swing by a game ball stored in the accommodation space 546. A swing member 548 pivotally supported by the shaft, a full tank detection sensor 550 that detects the swing of the swing member 548, and a spring that biases the swing member 548 in a non-detection state by the full tank detection sensor 550. 552. As shown in FIG. 53, the swinging member 548 is pivotally supported at the lower end with respect to the cover base 542, and the upper end is turned to the left when viewed from the front. In this state, the left side wall of the accommodation space 546 is formed. Further, the swinging member 548 is biased by the spring 552 to a position where the swinging member 548 is in a substantially vertical state. Further, the swinging member 548 is formed with a detection piece 548a protruding outward on the side surface opposite to the accommodation space 546 side, and this detection piece 548a is detected by a full tank detection sensor 550. .

  Further, the foul cover unit 540 includes an earth rail 554 disposed at the bottom of the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d, and a plate-like earth metal fitting 556 that covers the right end and the left end in the rear view of the cover base 542, respectively. , And can remove static electricity generated by rolling resistance caused by circulation of game balls.

  In this example, the game balls paid out from the prize ball unit 700 are supplied from the normal ball outlet 774 of the full tank branch unit 770 to the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 via the foul cover unit 540. Even if the inside of the upper plate 301 is full, when the game ball is further paid out from the prize ball unit 700, the game ball stagnates in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540, and further the normal ball outlet 774 in the full tank branch unit 770 When the upstream normal passage 773 is also full, the game ball flows to the full tank passage 775 side via the branch space 772 of the full tank branch unit 770 (see FIG. 79). From the full tank outlet 776 to the second bulb inlet 542c, the second bulb passage 542d, and the second bulb outlet 544 of the foul cover unit 540. It comes to be supplied to the lower tray 302 of tray unit 300 via the.

  When the inside of the lower plate 302 of the tray unit 300 is filled with game balls, the game balls can no longer come out from the second ball outlet 544b of the foul cover unit 540, and are stuck in the accommodation space 546 in the second ball passage 542d. Game balls will be stored. Further, as the game balls are paid out from the prize ball unit 700 and more game balls are stored in the accommodation space 546, the storage pressure of the game balls acts on the swinging member 548 and resists the biasing force of the spring 552. The upper end of the swing member 548 will move to the left. When the detection piece 548a of the swinging member 548 is detected by the full tank detection sensor 550, the payout of the game ball from the prize ball unit 700 is stopped on the payout control board 4110 (see FIG. 161), and the game A notification for urging a person to discharge the game ball in the dish unit 300 to the outside is provided.

  When the game ball in the storage space 546 (the lower plate 302) is discharged and the swinging member 548 is returned to a substantially vertical state by the biasing force of the spring 552, the full detection sensor 550 detects the detection piece 548a. The non-detection is made, and the payout of game balls from the prize ball unit 700 is resumed.

A ball feeding member 584 supported so as to be rotatable around the axis, and a ball feeding solenoid 585 for rotating the ball feeding member 584. In this example, as shown in the figure, the ball feeding member 584 is arranged on the right side of the entrance 581a in front view, and the ball removing member 583 is on the left side of the ball feeding member 584, and the ball feeding solenoid 585 is on the right side. Has been placed.

  The front cover 581 of the ball feeding unit 580 includes an arc-shaped slit 581c formed concentrically with the rotation center of the ball removing member 583 on the left side of the ball outlet 581b when viewed from the front. An operating rod 583c of a ball punching member 583, which will be described later, extends from 581c to the front. Further, the front cover 581 extends upward from the upper edge of the entrance 581a. When the front cover 581 is assembled to the door frame base unit 100, the rear end opening of the ball guide channel 344b in the upper dish ball removal base 344 is assembled. Is formed to close.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 has a partition portion 583a and a partition portion 583a which are separated from the entrance port 581a and the ball exit port 581b below the entrance port 581a and whose upper surface is lowered toward the ball feed member 584. Around the axis that extends downward from the end opposite to the ball feed member 584 and bends from the middle in the vertical direction toward the lower center of the ball outlet 581b and the lower end extends in the front-rear direction. A pivot collar 583b that is pivotally supported, a rod-shaped actuation collar 583c that projects forward from the upper end of the pivot collar 583b, and a side surface of the pivot collar 583b below the actuation collar 583c. And a weight portion 583d protruding to the opposite side to the partition portion 583a. An operating rod 583c of the ball removing member 583 is formed so as to protrude forward through an arc-shaped slit 581c formed in the front cover 581 (see FIG. 54), and a ball feed opening of the door frame base body 110 The upper tray ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300 is in contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343 a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the 113.

  Further, the ball feeding member 584 has a fan-shaped blocking portion 584a and a blocking portion 584a in plan view with the rotation axis extending in the vertical direction facing the entrance 581a and the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removing member 583. A sphere holding portion 584b that is recessed in an arc shape from the rear end to the rotation axis side, and a rod-like flange portion 584c that extends downward from the rear end of the sphere holding portion 584b are provided. The blocking portion 584a and the ball holding portion 584b in the ball feeding member 54 are formed within an angle range of about 90 ° around the rotation axis. Further, the ball holding portion 584b of the ball feeding member 584 is sized to hold one game ball. The ball feed member 584 rotates about the rotation axis when the flange 584c arranged at a position eccentric from the rotation axis is moved in the left-right direction by driving the ball feeding solenoid 585. ing.

  In the ball feeding member 584, the blocking portion 584a faces the partition portion 583a, and at the same time, the ball holding portion 584b communicates with the hitting ball supply port 582a, and the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition portion 583a. It rotates between the holding position. When the ball feeding member 584 is in the supply position, the game ball held by the ball holding portion 584b is supplied from the hit ball supply port 582a to the hit ball launching device 650 and enters the partition portion 583a from the advance port 581a. The ball is blocked from moving toward the ball holding portion 584b (hit ball supply port 582a) by the blocking portion 584a and stays on the partition portion 583a. On the other hand, when the ball feeding member 584 rotates to the holding position, the ball holding portion 584b faces the partition portion 583a, and the end of the ball holding portion 584b on the flange portion 584c side closes the hitting ball supply port 582a. Only one game ball on the partition portion 583a is held in the ball holding portion 584b.

  Further, the ball feed unit 580 is moved back and forth by the ball feed operation rod 586 whose tip is swung vertically by driving (energizing) the ball feed solenoid 585 and the movement of the tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 which is swung vertically. And a ball feed crank 587 that rotates around an axis extending in the direction and rotates the ball feed member 584 around an axis extending in the vertical direction. The ball feed crank 587 is engageable with the vertically moving tip of the ball feed operation rod 586 and extends in the left-right direction, and the side of the engagement portion 587a that engages with the ball feed operation rod 586. Is disposed on the opposite side and is supported between a front cover 581 and a rear cover 582 so as to be pivotable about a shaft extending in the front-rear direction, and a ball feed member 584 extending upward from the shaft 587b. And a transmission portion 587c that engages with a rod-shaped flange portion 584c (see FIG. 56) that protrudes downward from a position that is eccentric with respect to the rotation center.

  The ball feed unit 580 of this example transmits the movement of the ball feed actuating rod 586 that swings by the driving of the ball feed solenoid 585 that moves forward and backward by the ball feed actuating rod 586 and the ball feed crank 587. 584 can be rotated. When the ball feed solenoid 585 is not driven (normal time), the tip of the ball feed operating rod 586 swinging away from the lower end of the ball feed solenoid 585 is positioned downward. In this state, the ball feeding member 584 is located at the supply position. Further, when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven, the ball feeding operation rod 586 is attracted to the lower end of the ball feeding solenoid 585 and the tip of the swing is positioned upward, so that the ball feeding member 584 rotates to the holding position. It has become. That is, when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is driven (ON state), the ball feeding member 584 receives one game ball, and when the ball feeding solenoid 585 is released (OFF state), the ball feeding member 584 receives the game ball. The game ball is sent (supplied) to the hitting ball launching device 650 side. The driving of the ball feeding solenoid 585 in the ball feeding unit 580 is controlled by the firing control unit 4120 in synchronization with the drive control of the firing solenoid 654.

  Further, the ball removing member 583 that is pivotally supported in the ball feeding unit 580 of the present example is configured to apply a moment that rotates counterclockwise by the weight portion 583c. The operation rod 583c protruding forward comes into contact with the upper end of the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 in the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 of the dish unit 300, so that its rotation is restricted. In a normal state, the partitioning portion 583a of the ball removal member 583 partitions the entrance 581a and the ball removal port 581b so that the game ball does not enter the ball removal port 581b side. Then, when the player presses the upper dish ball removal button 341 of the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340 in the dish unit 300 downward, the upper dish ball removal slider 343 slides downward together with the contact piece 343a and comes into contact. As the piece 343a moves downward, the operating rod 583c also moves relatively downward.

  In this way, when the operating rod 583c moves downward together with the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340, the ball removal member 583 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the entrance by the partition portion 583a. The partition between the ball outlet 381a and the ball outlet 381b is released, and the game ball that has entered from the entrance 381a is discharged from the ball outlet 381b to the ball outlet passage 344c of the upper dish ball outlet base 344 of the dish unit 300. Then, it is discharged (supplied) to the lower plate 302.

  Since the contact piece 343a of the upper dish ball removal slider 343 against which the operating rod 583c of the ball removal member 583 abuts is biased upward by a coil spring, the game ball is vigorously supplied onto the partition portion 581a. However, the impact can be absorbed by the coil spring that urges the upper dish ball removal slider 343 via the operating rod 583c, and the ball removal member 583 and the like can be prevented from being damaged. It is possible to prevent the partition portion 583a from bouncing back.

  In addition, the ball feeding unit 580 of the present example is formed with a rectangular mounting recess 582b (see FIG. 56B, etc.) that is recessed forward in the upper right in the rear view of the hitting ball supply port 582a in the rear cover 582. At the same time, a tamper-proof member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b. The fraud prevention member 588 of the ball feeding unit 580 is formed of a hard metal plate such as tool steel or stainless steel, and is attached to the inside of the mounting recess 582a of the rear cover 582 so as to be detachable from the rear side. As shown in FIG. 55 and the like, the fraud prevention member 588 is formed in a rectangular shape whose overall outer diameter in the rear view is a horizontally long shape, and is on the opposite side from the substantially vertical center at the tip which is the left side in the rear view. The upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c, which are divided vertically with a dividing line 588a extending a predetermined length toward the base end side (right side), and the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c are A V formed between the upper piece 588b and the lower piece 588c by bending the base end side of the upper piece 588b in a direction perpendicular (rearward) to the general surface of the tamper-proof member 588 so as to be separated from each other. A character-shaped cutting portion 588d and an inclined portion 588e formed at the tips of the upper piece portion 588b and the lower piece portion 588c and inclined toward the cutting portion 588d are provided.

  As shown in the figure, the fraud prevention member 588 is formed by bending the base end side of the upper piece portion 588b so that the distal end (left end side in the rear view) of the upper piece portion 588b moves backward, so that the cutting portion 588d is It is formed in a V shape in plan view, and a wire rod Iw attached to an illegal game ball I is inserted into the V shape. The cutting part 588d of the fraud prevention member 588 has a state in which the lower side of the upper piece part 588b and the upper side of the lower piece part 588c intersect each other at a predetermined angle in plan view, and the gap becomes narrower toward the base end side. It is formed as follows.

  Further, the inclined portion 588e of the fraud preventing member 588 is formed at the tip of the cutting portion 588d, and the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I can be guided and guided into the cutting portion 588d by the inclined portion 588e. It is like that. In the ball feeding unit 580 of this example, as shown in the figure, a tamper-proof member 588 is mounted in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 from the rear side, and a cutting portion 588d in the mounting recess 582b of the rear cover 582 A portion corresponding to the portion where the is formed penetrates in the front-rear direction and at the same time communicates with the hit ball supply port 582a. In other words, the rear cover 582 is formed in a shape in which the hit ball supply port 582a extends into the mounting recess 582b.

  According to the fraud prevention member 588, the illegal game ball I attached with the wire Iw is supplied from the ball feeding unit 580 to the hit ball launching device 650, and the hit ball launching device 650 sends the illegal game ball I to the game area of the game board 4. When the player hits the inside 1100, the illegal game ball I launched by the hitting ball launcher 650 moves obliquely to the upper left along the launch rail 660 in the front view, and moves between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112. An attempt is made to enter the game area 1100 through the game. At this time, the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is pulled by the momentum of the hit game ball I, and the wire rod Iw differs from the movement trajectory of the illegal game ball I, and the path of the game ball It moves along the route connecting at the shortest distance. Accordingly, the wire Iw extending from the dish unit 300 through the hitting supply port 582a of the ball feeding unit 580 to the hitting ball launcher 650 moves the game ball I in the upper left direction in the front view (upper right direction in the rear view). Thus, the ball is pulled toward the upper right corner of the hitting ball supply port 582a so as to move to the shortest route, and moves into the mounting recess 582b formed at the upper right of the hitting ball supply port 582a in the rear view. The wire Iw that has moved to the portion (inside the mounting recess 582b) that extends rightward in the rear view of the hitting ball supply port 582a is cut by the pair of inclined portions 588e of the anti-fraud member 588 disposed at the position. After being guided into 588d, it is further pulled to the right in the rear view by the force of the illegal game ball I.

  As a result, the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I is pulled in the direction of narrowing the gap (leftward in front view) by the cutting portion 588d of the anti-fraud member 588 by the force of the illegal game ball I. In this state, friction and shearing force are applied by the cutting portion 588d, and the wire Iw is cut (see FIG. 57D). At this time, since the momentum of the illegal game ball I attached with the wire Iw is attenuated by friction or the like acting on the wire Iw, it does not enter the game area 1100 between the outer rail 1111 and the launch rail 660. Will be discharged through.

  Therefore, the wire rod Iw attached to the illegal game ball I can be cut by the cutting portion 588d of the anti-fraud member 588. Can be prevented. Even if an illegal game ball I enters the game area 1100, as described above, the wire rod Iw can be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, so that it is impossible to perform an illegal act. Even if the wire rod Iw could not be cut by the fraud prevention member 588, the wire rod Iw bites into the V-shaped cut portion 588d, thereby reducing the momentum of the illegal game ball I and playing area 1100. It is possible to prevent intrusion, so that it is possible to prevent illegal acts.

  As described above, according to the present example, the game ball is stored in the upper plate 301 and the game ball is supplied to the ball feeding unit 580, and then the player holds the handle device 500 provided on the front surface of the door frame 5. When operated, the game ball is sent to the ball hitting device 650 by driving the ball feed solenoid 585 of the ball feed unit 580, and the game ball is driven into the game area 1100 by the ball hitting device 650, thereby playing the game window 101 of the door frame 5. A game is played in the game area 1100 that can be viewed via the player, and the player can be entertained. Etc.) and a discharge mechanism (ball removal member 583) are disposed. The ball feeding member 584 and the ball hitting device 650 are also brought as close as possible, and when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged by operating the upper plate ball removing button 341, it remains on the ball feeding member 584 side. It is possible to reduce the number of game balls as much as possible, and to prevent the player from feeling lost, and to prevent the interest from deteriorating.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 provided with the ball removing member 583 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100, the capacity of the upper plate 301 in the plate unit 300 can be increased, and the game ball can be thrown in. It is possible to prevent the game balls in the upper plate 301 from disappearing early or the game balls in the upper plate 301 from being filled up early due to the operation. It is possible to reduce the player's feeling of annoyance and suppress the interest, and the dish unit 300 can be downsized while maintaining the capacity of the upper dish 301, so that the game The area 1100 can be enlarged (widened) to provide a pachinko machine 1 that can attract the player's attention.

  Further, since the ball feed unit 580 is provided with the ball feed member 583, the ball feed member 580 is simply attached to the ball feed member 580 as compared with the ball feed member 584 and the ball feed member 583 separately. 584 and the ball punching member 583 can be attached, the labor involved in the assembly can be simplified, the feeding unit 580 can be easily replaced, and a defect occurs in the ball feeding member 584 and the ball punching member 583. Even so, the problem can be easily solved by replacing the ball feeding unit 580.

  Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is arranged on the rear surface of the door frame base unit 100 in the door frame 5, the upper plate ball is compared with the ball feeding unit 580 provided on the main body frame 3 side. There is no need to configure the transmission mechanism (the upper dish ball removal mechanism 340) that transmits the operation of the removal button 341 to the ball removal member 584 of the ball feeding unit 580 so as to straddle the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 that can be opened and closed. The configuration related to the transmission mechanism can be simplified. Further, since the ball feeding unit 580 is provided on the door frame 5 side, the transmission mechanism (when the door frame 5 is opened, as compared with the case where the ball feeding unit 580 is provided on the main body frame 3 side). By shutting off the upper bowl removing mechanism 340), it is possible to avoid the possibility that the transmission mechanism will be consumed at an early stage, causing malfunction or damage, and reliability for the operation of the transmission mechanism, the ball feeding unit 580, etc. And durability can be increased.

  Further, since the upper plate ball removal button 341 is pressed downward, the game ball can be discharged from the upper plate 301 to the lower plate 302 or the upper plate 301 by simply pressing the upper plate ball removal button 341 downward. Can be stopped, and the player can easily perform the ball removal operation in the upper plate 301 by the upper plate ball removal button 341.

  The partition 583a of the ball removal member 583 is moved by the movement of the upper plate ball removal slider 343 that slides in the vertical direction in accordance with the operation of the upper plate ball removal button 341, and the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is moved. At the same time, the partition portion 583a is also movable in the vertical direction, so that the horizontal movement range of the upper plate ball removal slider 343 and the partition portion 583a can be made as small as possible. The unit 580 can be reduced in size, and the pachinko machine 1 that can reliably achieve the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is urged upward, and the partition portion 583a of the ball removal member 583 communicates the entrance 581a and the hit ball supply port 582a when the upper plate ball removal slider 343 is in the raised position. Therefore, even if the game ball from the upper plate 301 vigorously comes into contact with the partition portion 583a, the impact can be reduced by the urging force acting on the upper plate ball removal slider 343, and the partition portion 583a (ball removal member) 583) can be improved. Further, since the impact applied to the partition portion 583a can be reduced by the urging force acting on the upper dish ball removal slider 343, it is possible to make it difficult to repel even when the game ball collides with the partition portion 583a. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ball feeding unit 580 and the like from being damaged and causing problems.

  Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated, compared to the case where the partition portion 583a is slid, it relates to the movement of the partition portion 583a when a load of a game ball is applied to the partition portion 583a. The friction loss can be reduced, and the operability can be improved by lightening the operation of the upper dish ball removal button 341, and the moving range of the partitioning portion 583a can be reduced in the planar projection. The effect of this can be achieved.

  Further, since the partition portion 583a is rotated by its own weight in a direction in which the entrance 581a and the ball outlet 581b communicate with each other, the partition portion Rotating due to its own weight, the entrance and the discharge port are in communication with each other, and the game medium in the storage tray is sent to the feed mechanism (input device) side even though the discharge operation unit is not operated. Since it will be discharged to the player side without being played, the player can be made aware that there is a problem with the pachinko machine 1 and moved to a pachinko machine 1 with no problems. It can suppress that it falls.

  Further, since the ball removing member 583 is rotated via the rotating hook part 583b bent, the rotating hook part bent when the game ball collides with the divider 583a. It is possible to prevent the impact from being linearly transmitted to the rotating shaft by dispersing it by 583b or by absorbing it by bending of the rotating collar portion 583b, and to improve the durability of the ball removing member 583. Can be increased.

  Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged directly below the entrance 581a communicating with the upper plate 301 side, when the game ball in the upper plate 301 is discharged, the right and left of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580 are The movement of the direction can be minimized, and the game ball can be discharged well by improving the passage of the game ball in the ball feeding unit 580. Further, since the ball outlet 581b is arranged immediately below the entrance 581a, the discharge path of the game balls in the ball feed unit 580 can be shortened as much as possible, and the ball feed unit 580 can serve as a discharge mechanism. Even if the ball removing member 583 is provided, the ball feeding unit 580 can be prevented from being unnecessarily enlarged.

  Further, the fraud prevention member 588 is attached to the mounting recess 582b on the rear side of the rear cover 582, and the fraud prevention member 588 (cutting portion 588d) is disposed as close as possible to the ball hitting device 650. Therefore, the wire Iw adhering to the illegal game ball I in the fastest (momentary) state immediately after being fired by the ball hitting device 650 comes into contact with the cutting portion 588d, and the cutting portion 588d. As the wire Iw is pulled quickly (strongly), the wire Iw can be surely cut, and the force of the illegal game ball I is attenuated to prevent entry into the game area 1100. It is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act from being performed by the illegal game ball I.

  Further, since the tamper-proof member 588 having the cutting portion 588d is mounted in the mounting recess 582b that is recessed forward from the rear surface of the rear cover 582, the V-shaped cutting portion 588d is formed. The upper piece 588b bent rearward can be prevented from projecting rearward from the rear end surface of the rear cover 582, and the upper piece 588b of the anti-fraud member 588 is injured by an operator during assembly. Can be prevented.

  Further, in the anti-fraud member 588 capable of cutting the wire Iw attached to the illegal game ball I, the upper upper piece 588b is bent backward with the dividing line 588a extending from the right end of the metal plate material interposed therebetween. Thus, since the V-shaped cutting part 588d is formed, the cutting part 588d capable of exerting a shearing force can be easily formed (processed), and the cost associated with the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced. The increase can be suppressed.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 60, the 20 LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, and 256a belonging to the first annular group 102 are 102a to 102j for each of the peripheral lens portions 210a and 250a of the side lenses 210 and 250, respectively. The 26 LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a belonging to the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems of 103a to 103j for each of the peripheral lens portions 210a, 250a of the side lenses 210, 250. It has been.

  The 20 LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b belonging to the radial group 104 are divided into 8 systems 104a to 104h for each side flash lens 204 and 246 (radiation lens portions 210b and 250b of the side lenses 210 and 250). ing. The two LEDs 214c belonging to the notification group 105 are divided into two systems, an upper side 105a and a lower side 105b. Further, the eight LEDs 288a and 288b belonging to the upper central group 106 are divided into three systems, that is, a central part 106a, a right part 106b, and a left part 106c. The seven LEDs 290a belonging to the upper central side group 107 are divided into two systems, a right side 107a and a left side 107b.

  Further, the eleven LEDs 322a belonging to the upper plate group 108 are divided into four systems 108a to 108d on the front and rear sides and on the right and left sides. The five LEDs 430b and 432d belonging to the operation group 109 include four LEDs 430b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 arranged diagonally across the pressing operation unit 405 as a set, and the left and right 109a and the front and rear 109b. The two LEDs, one LED 432c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405, is divided into three systems. Thus, in the door frame 5 of this example, each LED 214a, 214b, 214c, 216a, 216b, 254a, 254b, 256a, 256b, 288a, 288b, 290a, 322a, 430b, 432d is divided into 42 systems. ing.

  Meanwhile, in the door frame 5, as described above, the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a, 288a, 288b, 290a, 322a, and 432d are full-color LEDs, and the LEDs 214a, 216a, 254a, 256a, 288a, 288b, 28 systems 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, and 109c to which 290a, 322a, and 432d belong are further provided with three independent RGB systems in order to emit light in full color. In the light emission control, there are three times 84 systems. The LEDs 288a and 430b are high-intensity white LEDs, and the four systems 107a, 109a and 109b to which the LEDs 288a and 430b belong require a large amount of current to emit light with high luminance. Two systems are connected, and in actual light emission control, there are twice as many as eight systems.

  The LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, and 256b are white LEDs having normal luminance, and belong to the eight systems 104a to 108h. The LED 214c is a green LED and a red LED, and belongs to the two systems 105a and 105b. The ten systems 104a to 108h, 105a, and 105b by these LEDs 214b, 216b, 254b, 256b, and 214c can be sufficiently controlled by each system.

  Further, in the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, and the lower group 108, each of the systems 102 a to 102 j and 103 a to 103 j is appropriately caused to emit light, so that the upper portion of the upper decoration unit 280 is aligned along the outer periphery of the gaming window 101. It is possible to produce a light emission effect such that light moves toward the central lens 284 or light moves from the upper central lens 284 along the outer periphery of the game window 101. In this example, the first annular group 102 and the second annular group 103 are divided into 10 systems 102a to 102j and 103a to 103j in the circumferential direction (10 divisions). However, the present invention is not limited to this. If it is divided into about 8 systems (about 8 divisions), it is possible to perform a light emission effect such that light circulates around the outer periphery of the gaming window 101.

  Further, by emitting light only from the radial group 104, a light emission effect is produced in which the light is emitted radially around the gaming window 101, or the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, and the lower group 108 are emitted simultaneously with the radial group 104. To produce a light emission effect that causes the entire outer periphery of the gaming window 101 to emit light substantially uniformly, or to cause the radial group 104 to emit light (light on / flash) while the first annular group 102 or the second annular group 103 emits light. It is possible to perform a light emitting effect that gives an accent to the light emitting decoration. In addition, by causing each of the systems 104a to 104h of the radial group 104 to emit light individually, it is possible to produce a light emission effect such that the side flash lenses 204 and 246 (radiating lens portions 210b and 250b) circulate.

  Further, by causing the upper central group 106 and the upper central side group 105 to emit light, an opportunity or a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit gaming state, a probability variation gaming state, a short time gaming state, a probability variation short gaming state) , Etc.) can be performed.

  Furthermore, by appropriately emitting light from each of the systems 108a to 108d of the lower group 108, a light emission effect for lighting and decorating the upper plate 301, or by emitting light in association with the operation group 109, the dial operation unit 401 or pressing operation is performed. A light emission effect that prompts the operation of the unit 405 can be performed. In addition, the system 109a and 109b corresponding to the dial operation unit 401 in the operation group 109 is appropriately caused to emit light so as to prompt the operation of the dial operation unit 401 or guide the rotation operation direction of the dial operation unit 401. can do. Further, by causing the system 109c corresponding to the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation group 109 to emit light, it is possible to produce a light emitting effect that prompts the operation of the pressing operation unit 405.

  Since the system 109c of the first annular group 102, the second annular group 103, the upper central group 106, the lower group 108, and the operation group 109 is a full color LED, each group 102, 103, 106, 108, It is possible to produce a lighting effect with different gradations such as emission color and brightness for each 109 or for each system 102a to 102j, 103a to 103j, 106a to 106c, 108a to 108d, 109c. A rich lighting effect can be performed.

It is designed to rotate.

  As shown in FIG. 78, in the prize ball device 740, a payout rotating body 748 is rotatably supported at the approximate center of the distribution space 741b. When the payout rotating body 748 is rotated counterclockwise by the payout motor 744, the game balls in the supply passage 741a are paid out toward the prize ball passage 741c, and the payout rotation The game balls paid out to the prize ball passage 741c side by the rotation of the body 748 are counted one by one by the counting sensor 751 and then delivered to the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. On the other hand, when the payout rotator 748 is rotated clockwise by the payout motor 744, the game balls in the supply passage 741a are paid out toward the ball removal passage 741d. The game balls paid out to the side of the ball extraction passage 741d are discharged from the lower end of the ball extraction passage 741d into a ball extraction passage 778 of a full tank sorting unit 770 described later, a main body frame base ball extraction passage 622 of the main body frame base 600, and a substrate unit. It can be discharged to the outside outside of the pachinko machine 1 through the opening 812 of the substrate unit base 810 and the discharge passage 842 of the power supply substrate box holder 840 at 800.

  Note that the unit base 741 in the prize ball apparatus 740 of this example is formed of a transparent synthetic resin, and even when assembled in the main body frame 3, the award is given from the front side of the main body frame 3 through the transparent prize ball base 710. The inside of the supply passage 741a, the distribution space 741b, the prize ball passage 741c, the ball removal passage 741d and the like of the ball device 740 can be visually recognized, and a defect such as a ball clogging can be easily found. .

  Next, the full tank branching unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 74, 75, and 79. The full tank sorting unit 770 in the prize ball unit 700 is attached to the lower end of the prize ball base 710 and guides the game ball paid out to the prize ball path 741c side of the prize ball unit 740 to the dish unit 300. In addition, when the game ball is full in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300, the game ball can be distributed to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 so as to be paid out.

  The full tank branching unit 770 is fixed to the rear surface of the lower end of the prize ball base 710 at the upper part of the rear end and the latching part 770a latched to the attachment latching part 716 of the prize ball base 710 at the substantially upper center in the front-rear direction. Fixing portion 770b. The full tank branching unit 770 is suspended from the mounting locking portion 716 by locking the locking portion 770a to the mounting locking portion 716 of the prize ball base 710 from the rear side. By fixing the fixing portion 770b to the 710 with a predetermined screw, the full tank branching unit 770 can be attached and fixed to the lower end of the prize ball base 710.

  Further, as shown in the figure, the full tank branching unit 770 is formed in a box shape that becomes lower as it goes from the rear end to the front end, and opens upward at a substantially horizontal center in the upper part of the rear end. A prize ball receiving port 771 for receiving a game ball flowing down the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710 and a branch space 772 arranged below the prize ball receiving port 771 and extending in the left-right direction (see FIG. 79). And a normal passage 773 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball from directly under the prize ball receiving port 771 to the front side in the branch space 772, and a game ball that has circulated through the normal passage 773 forward and the front end of the front end. A normal ball outlet 774 that opens at the right end of the view, and a full passage 775 that guides the game ball from the position away from the right side of the back view of the prize ball receiving port 771 in the branch space 772 toward the front side (see FIG. 79). A), a fill-up passage 775 game ball that has flowed through the discharge forward a full sphere outlet 776 which opens in a front view the left side of the normal ball outlet 774, a.

  Further, the full tank branching unit 770 has a ball outlet 777 that opens upward at the left end of the rear end upper part when viewed from the front and receives the game ball flowing down the ball extraction passage 741d of the prize ball device 740, A ball extraction passage 778 (see FIG. 79) for guiding the game ball received at the opening 777 to the front side, and a game ball flowing through the ball extraction passage 778 is discharged forward, and a normal ball outlet 774 and And a ball outlet 779 opened at a position behind the full tank outlet 776.

  When the full tank branching unit 770 of the present example is in a state in which the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the normal ball outlet 774 and the full tank outlet 776 are respectively the first foul cover unit 540 in the door frame 5. The game ball released from the normal ball outlet 774 passes through the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 and communicates with the ball inlet 542a and the second ball inlet 542c. The game balls supplied to the upper plate 301 and discharged from the full tank outlet 776 are supplied to the lower plate 302 of the plate unit 300 through the second ball inlet 542c of the foul cover unit 540. The ball outlet 779 is formed so as to communicate with the upper right side of the main body frame base ball outlet passage 622 in the main body frame base 600 so that the game ball released from the ball outlet 779 is released from the main body frame base 600. It is delivered to the main body frame base ball extraction passage 622.

  The full tank branching unit 770 is configured such that a game ball delivered to the prize ball passage 741c side of the prize ball device 740 is received at the prize ball receiving port 771 via the prize ball passage 715 of the prize ball base 710. In the normal state, the game ball that has entered the prize ball receiving port 771 hangs down the branch space 772 and flows down into the normal passage 773 arranged immediately below the prize ball receiving port 771. The game ball that has flowed into the normal passage 773 enters the first ball inlet 542a of the foul cover unit 540 from the normal outlet 774, passes through the first ball passage 542b, and passes through the first ball outlet 544a to the top of the dish unit 300. It will be supplied to the plate 301.

  By the way, when the game ball is further paid out from the prize ball unit 700 (the prize ball device 740) in a state where the upper plate 301 of the dish unit 300 is full of game balls, the first ball exit of the foul cover unit 540 is provided. The game balls that can no longer come out from the 544a toward the upper plate 301 stagnate in the first ball passage 542b of the foul cover unit 540 and eventually fill up the normal passage 773 upstream through the normal ball outlet 774 in the full tank branching unit 770. become. In this state, the game ball that has entered the branch space 772 from the prize ball receiving port 771 cannot enter the normal passage 773, starts to move laterally in the branch space 772, and moves laterally. A game ball enters into the full tank passage 775 and passes from the full tank exit 776 to the bottom of the dish unit 300 through the second ball entrance 542c, the second ball passage 542d, and the second ball exit 544b of the foul cover unit 540. It is supplied to the dish 302.

  The full tank branch unit 770 of the present example is formed entirely of a transparent synthetic resin so that the inside can be visually recognized from the outside. As a result, foreign matter such as dust and debris that has entered the full tank branch unit 770, the occurrence of clogging, etc. can be easily found without disassembling the full tank branch unit 7700. .

  In this way, the full tank branching unit 770 of the present example automatically plays the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 until the full tank is cleared when the game balls are full in the upper plate 301. Since the upper plate is full like the conventional pachinko machine, the game ball is not supplied to the ball hitting device by operating the ball pulling button on the upper plate. It is possible to avoid interruption of game ball driving, and it is possible to eliminate the annoyance during the game and suppress the interest in the game from being reduced.

  In addition, as described above, the full tank branching unit 770 of this example branches the path of the game ball to be paid out immediately below the prize ball device 740, that is, at the rear part of the pachinko machine 1, when the upper plate 301 becomes full. Since the game ball staying in the normal passage 773 of the full tank branching unit 770 is paid out to the upper plate 301, the game ball in the upper plate 301 and the game ball in the normal passage 773 are used as a ball hitting device. A game ball that can be directly struck by 650, and the storage amount of the game ball in the upper plate 301 is substantially the sum of the capacity of the upper plate 301 and the capacity of the normal passage 773. That is, even if the capacity of the upper plate 301 is made smaller than the capacity of the upper plate in the conventional pachinko machine, the capacity of the normal passage 773 is added, so that the same amount of game balls as in the conventional case are stored in the upper plate 301. Can do. Accordingly, by reducing the size of the upper plate 301, the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 can be relatively enlarged (widened), and the pachinko machine 1 having a wider gaming area 1100 can be obtained. The pachinko machine 1 can be made highly appealing to the player, and the player can be entertained by the wide game area 1100.

  Furthermore, since the two normal ball outlets 774 and the full tank ball outlets 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 are arranged side by side on the left and right sides, the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray (the first inlet) Even when there is only one ball inlet 542a and second ball inlet 542c), the game ball can be sent to the door frame 5 side without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branching unit 770). Therefore, the pachinko machine 1 can be made to be able to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game ball (full tank branching unit 770) in the main body frame 3. And it can suppress that the cost concerning the lineup of the pachinko machine 1 provided with the door frame 5 from which the number of storage dishes differs is increased.

  In addition, as described above, even if the number of storage trays provided in the door frame 5 is changed, it is possible to cope without changing the main body frame 3, so the pachinko machine 1 according to the change of the door frame 5 as a whole. Thus, various pachinko machines 1 can be provided at low cost.

  Furthermore, a game ball sent from the normal ball outlet 774 to the door frame 5 side through the normal passage 773 is preferentially driven into the game area 1100, and the door frame 5 having only one storage tray. Even if it is exchanged, the game ball paid out from the prize ball device 740 can be immediately sent to the storage tray through the normal passage 773 and the normal ball outlet 774, so the time lag from payout to storage can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player due to a lack of game balls for driving, and to sufficiently cope with the door frame 5 having a different number of storage trays. .

  In addition, as long as the upper plate 301 is not full, the game balls paid out from the prize ball device 740 are sent to the upper plate 301, so that the frequency of transferring the game balls stored in the lower plate 302 to the upper plate 301 is reduced. This makes it possible to devote the player to a game ball driving operation and the like, and to suppress the player's interest in games from being reduced.

  Even if the normal sphere outlet 774 and the full sphere outlet 776 of the full tank branching unit 770 are arranged side by side and the door frame 5 is provided with only one storage tray, the first sphere The position of the lower end of the receiving port corresponding to the inlet 542a and the like can be set to the same height as the first ball inlet 542a and the like corresponding to the upper plate 301 of the door frame 5 provided with two storage plates. It becomes possible to avoid the depth becoming shallower, the storage tray can be deepened to secure a sufficient amount of game balls, and the game can be played without frequently worrying about the amount of storage for the player. Can be made to correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the main body frame 3 side, and the cost for changing the model of the pachinko machine 1 and the like increases. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, the position where the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branching unit 770 branches from the normal passage 773 is branched at a position as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, and the upper plate 301 is filled with game balls. Even if the game ball can no longer come out from the normal ball exit 774, the amount of game balls stored in the normal passage 773 from the normal ball exit 774 to the branch position of the full tank passage 775 is increased as much as possible. The amount of substantial game balls stored in the upper plate 301 can be increased as much as possible. In addition, in the case where only one storage tray is provided in the door frame 5, even if the storage tray becomes full of game balls and the game balls can no longer come out from the normal ball exit 773 or the full tank exit 776, Since the position where the full tank path 775 branches from the normal path 773 is arranged as close as possible to the prize ball device 740, many game balls are provided not only in the normal path 773 but also in the full tank path 775. Can be stored, and the substantial amount of game balls stored in the storage tray can be increased as much as possible. Therefore, even if the number of storage trays provided on the door frame 5 side is different, the storage amount of the game balls in each door frame 5 is maximized without changing the main body frame 3 side (full tank branching unit 770). The pachinko machine 1 can be increased to a limit and can sufficiently cope with different door frames 5.

  In addition, the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 in the full tank branch unit 770 are wide enough to allow game balls to circulate in a plurality of rows, and the stopping amount (reserved amount) of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 is Since it can be increased, even if the number of storage dishes provided in the door frame 5 is different, it is possible to prevent the substantial storage amount of the game balls in the full tank branch unit 770 from decreasing. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 that can correspond to the door frame 5 having a different number of storage dishes without changing the flow path of the game balls in the main body frame 3 can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the inside of the normal passage 773 and the full tank passage 775 can be visually recognized from the outside by forming the full tank branch unit 770 with transparent resin, the game ball is clogged in the full tank branch unit 770 and a problem occurs. In this case, it is possible to easily find the place where the ball is clogged from the outside of the full tank branching unit 770, and it is possible to solve the problem at an early stage and increase the operating rate of the pachinko machine 1.

And the payout control board box A terminal board box 840 attached to the rear surface of the speaker box 820 so as to cover the left end portion of the front view of 860, and a main-side relay terminal board 880 and a peripheral-side relay terminal board 882 attached to the front face of the board unit base 810. I have.

  As shown in the figure, the substrate unit base 810 in the substrate unit 800 of the present example is configured to extend in the left-right direction, and the substantially central portion in the left-right direction is stepped downward and gradually tilted upward as it goes to the left and right ends. A wall-shaped shielding wall portion 811 protruding forward from the front surface, an opening portion 812 that is disposed above the position of the shielding wall portion 811 that is one step lower in the center in the left-right direction, penetrates in the front-rear direction, and the lower side of the shielding wall portion 811 And a board mounting portion 813 for mounting the main side relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal plate 882, which is formed on the front surface in the vicinity of the left end when viewed from the front, and a rectangular shape that is horizontally long in the front-rear direction on the left side of the board mounting portion 813 when viewed from the front. A plurality of vertically long slits penetrating in the front-rear direction at positions corresponding to the tubular duct portion 814 that penetrates and the speaker 821 of the speaker box 820 fixed to the rear surface. A hole 815, and a rear view left (front view on the right) box accommodation portion 816 capable of accommodating the front is open rearwardly and upwardly to the rear surface of the upper firing power board box 830, the.

  The board unit base 810 is formed such that the shielding wall portion 811 is along the lower side of the main body frame base ball passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 in the main body frame base 600. The game ball can be prevented from dropping downward from the base ball removal passage 622, and the strength of the board unit base 810 can be increased. Further, the board base unit 810 sends the game balls flowing down the main body frame base ball removal passage 622 to the power supply board box holder 840 disposed on the rear side of the board unit base 810 through the opening 812 penetrating in the front-rear direction. Be able to.

  The board unit base 810 has a board mounting portion 813 for attaching the main relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral relay terminal board 882 at a position corresponding to the rectangular opening 614 in the main body frame base 600. In the state where the main side relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal plate 882 are attached to the board mounting portion 813, the main side relay terminal plate 880 and the peripheral side relay terminal plate 882 are located on the front side from the opening 614 of the main body frame base 600. It comes to face. Further, the board unit base 810 can transmit sound from the speaker 821 of the speaker box 820 to the front side satisfactorily by the duct portion 814 and the plurality of through holes 815.

  Further, the substrate unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the front box housing portion 843 of the power supply board box holder 840 in which the box housing portion 816 is disposed on the rear side. The box housing portion 816 and the front box housing portion 843 are formed. Thus, a housing recess for housing the launching power supply board box 830 can be formed.

  The speaker box 820 in the board unit 800 is literally provided with a speaker 821 attached facing the front side. The speaker box 820 has a horizontally elongated opening 822 formed on the left side of the speaker 821 when viewed from the front, while covering the rear side of the speaker 821 in a sealed manner. Although not shown in detail, the opening 822 communicates with the space behind the speaker 821 through a predetermined labyrinth-like passage, thereby inverting the phase of the sound behind the speaker 821 and moving forward. The bass-reflex type speaker box is capable of emitting a deep bass to the diameter of the speaker 821. Note that the duct portion 814 in the board unit base 810 is formed at a position corresponding to the opening 822 of the speaker box 820, so that sound radiated from the opening 822 can be transmitted well forward. ing.

  The launch power supply board box 830 in the board unit 800 is formed in a box shape with the rear open, and includes a launch power supply board 831 attached so as to close the rear end opening. This launching power supply board box 830 accommodates various electronic components attached to the launching power supply board 831 and heat from the electronic parts etc. through slits 830a formed on the upper and lower surfaces. Can be released to the outside.

  This launching power supply board box 830 is detached from above into an accommodation recess opened upward by a box accommodation part 816 of the board unit base 810 and a front box accommodation part 844 of a power supply board box holder 840 described later. It is designed to be accommodated as possible. Thereby, in the state where the main body frame 3 is assembled, if a problem occurs in the launch power supply board box 830, the launch power supply board box 830 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3 to be replaced or repaired. (See FIG. 63).

  Further, the launch power supply board box 830 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 89, the launch power supply board 831 includes a DC / DC converter 831a and an electrolytic capacitor SC0 for charging and discharging power from the DC / DC converter 831a. The combined current obtained by combining the current from the DC / DC converter 831a and the current from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is supplied to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 and driven. This launching power supply board box 830 is formed with slits 830a as heat radiation holes on its upper and lower surfaces in order to release heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 mounted on the launching power supply board 831 to the outside. ing.

  In addition, since the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the launch power supply board 831 is an electronic component that is more easily damaged by heat than the DC / DC converter 831a, the side surface of the launch power supply board box 830 on which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is disposed has a heat dissipation hole. A slit 830a is formed. Further, the launching power supply board box 830 has a partition wall 830b that divides the internal space into two spaces, a space for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a and a space for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0. And the bottom inner wall are integrally formed from the bottom surface to the end opening edge. Accordingly, when the launch power supply board 831 is attached to the end opening of the launch power supply board box 830 and the internal space of the launch power supply board box 830 is closed, the internal space of the launch power supply board box 830 accommodates the electrolytic capacitor SC0 by the partition wall 830b. Two spaces, an accommodation space 830c for accommodating the DC / DC converter 831a, and an accommodation space 830c for accommodating the electrolytic capacitor SC0 are formed. , Functioning as a heat insulating wall that blocks heat from entering and exiting the housing space 830d for housing the DC / DC converter 831a.

  The heat in the accommodation space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is a slit as a heat radiation hole formed in each of the upper surface, the side surface, and the lower surface communicating the accommodation space 830c with the outside air. By being discharged to the outside via 830a, the released heat can be prevented from entering the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat generated by the electrolytic capacitor SC0 from being transmitted to the DC / DC converter 831a. Further, the heat in the accommodation space 830d in which the DC / DC converter 831a is accommodated, that is, the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a is a heat radiation hole formed in the upper surface and the lower surface that communicate the accommodation space 830d with the outside air, respectively. As a result, the released heat can be prevented from entering the storage space 830c in which the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is stored. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat generated by the DC / DC converter 831a from being transmitted to the electrolytic capacitor SC0.

  In the present embodiment, the DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating a combined current that flows to the firing solenoid 654 of the ball striking device 650 are not provided on the power board 851, but are fired separately from the power board 851. By providing the power supply board 831, the size of the launch power supply board 831 can be made smaller than the size of the power supply board 851. Therefore, it becomes easy to handle by reducing the size of the launch power supply substrate 831 and the replacement work of the launch power supply substrate 831 is facilitated, which contributes to shortening the time spent for the replacement work. In this replacement operation, the launch power supply board box 830 can be exchanged in a state where the launch power supply board 831 remains attached to the end opening of the launch power supply board box 830, that is, the launch power supply board box 830.

  Further, even if the pachinko gaming machine 1 is operated and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 reaches the end of its life and the driving firing by the launching solenoid 654 suddenly becomes impossible to launch and the game has to be interrupted, the replacement work of the launching power supply board 831 is not performed. By being able to do easily, the interruption of the game can be eliminated at an early stage. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the impossibility of firing due to the life of the electrolytic capacitor SC0 very easily, and it is possible to resolve the interruption of the game due to the impossibility of firing at an early stage and resume the game, thereby reducing the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  It should be noted that the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the firing power supply substrate 831 deteriorates and reaches the end of life due to repeated charging and discharging, for example, at a frequency of 100 times per minute every time driving firing by the firing solenoid 654 is performed. On the other hand, the power supply board 851 creates a DC power supply from the AC power supply of an island facility such as a game hall, but is not repeatedly charged and discharged at the same frequency as the electrolytic capacitor SC0 of the launch power supply board 831. Compared with the launch power supply substrate 831, its lifetime is extremely long. In other words, the fired power supply board 831 reaches the end of its life due to deterioration associated with charging / discharging of the electrolytic capacitor SC0, while the power supply board 851 reaches the end of its life due to secular change. The DC / DC converter 831a and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for creating the merged current flowing through the firing solenoid 654 are not provided on the power supply board 851, but are provided on the launch power supply board 831 separate from the power supply board 851. Thus, electronic components accompanying long-term aging can be concentrated on the power supply board 851. As a result, it is possible to prevent the electronic component accompanying a long-life change over time from being replaced together with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 having a short life.

  In addition, since the firing power supply substrate 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 for controlling the hitting ball launching device 650 can be detached from the front side through the game board holding port 601 for holding the game board 4, it has a capacity for changing the driving characteristics. Even if an attempt is made to change the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to a different one, it is necessary to remove the game board 4 held in the game board holding port 601 in order to remove the launch power board 831 and it is difficult to replace the launch power board 831. It is possible to prevent fraud, and it is possible to suppress fraud that deliberately changes the driving strength of the launch power supply substrate 831 that has been tampered with and optimized, and to make fraud difficult. A pachinko machine 1 that can prevent a player who has been frustrated from developing into a fraud such as a fraudulent act can be provided.

  In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 can be exchanged so as to be removable, even if an unauthorized operation is performed on the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the launch power supply board 831, the launch power supply board 831 can be replaced immediately and the unauthorized use can be made. It is possible to eliminate the interruption period of the game as much as possible, and it is possible to eliminate the feeling of irritation or disappointment due to the interruption of the game at an early stage. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest in the game of the player.

  Furthermore, the launch power supply board 831 provided with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 in the launch controller 4120 that controls the hitting ball launcher 650 is detachable from the front side through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3 holding the game board 4. When the game board 4 is replaced due to a model change or the like, the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) of the launch control unit 4120 can be easily replaced, so it matches the concept of the new model to be replaced. Replacing the launching power supply board 831 equipped with the electrolytic capacitor SC0 and the DC / DC converter 831a capable of realizing the driving characteristics makes it possible to change the driving characteristics of the hitting ball launcher 650 previously provided in the main body frame 3 to a new game. It can be matched to board 4. Therefore, it is possible to easily match the driving characteristics of the game ball with the concept of the game board 4, so that the game with the new model of the game board 4 can be fully enjoyed, and the interest of the player is reduced. can do.

  In addition, since the launch power supply board 831 of the launch control unit 4120 can be detached from the front side, when replacing the launch power supply board 831, there is no need to open the main body frame 3 for island facilities such as a game hall, It is possible to simplify the time and labor required for exchange, and it is possible to exchange in a short time, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the game hall side. Further, since the launch power supply board 831 (launch power supply board box 830) can be exchanged so as to be removable, the driving characteristics are changed as compared with the case where the entire launch control unit 4120 (dispensing control board 4110) is exchanged. Cost can be reduced, and the burden on the hall side or the like can be reduced.

  Furthermore, when changing the model etc., only the game board 4 is replaced so that the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 can be used as they are. When the electrolytic capacitor SC0 or the like of the launching power supply board 831 deteriorates, as described above, the launching power supply board box 830 can be easily replaced from the front side. The problem can be resolved, the game interruption period can be shortened as much as possible, and it is possible to quickly eliminate irritation and disappointment due to the game interruption. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player in the game.

  Further, the launch power board 831 (launch power board box 830) is supported through the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the launch power board 831 is held in the game board holding port 601 for detachment. Since it is necessary to remove the game board 4, even if a tool for performing an illegal act enters the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the illegal tool reaches the launch power supply board 831 by the game board 4. Thus, the pachinko machine 1 can be prevented from performing an illegal act on the launch power supply substrate 831 and has a high defense against the illegal act.

  Further, the launch power supply board box 830 is supported through the game board holding port 601, and the position where the launch power supply board box 830 is supported is more rearward than the front surface of the main body frame 3. A space for supporting the board box 830 can be easily secured, and the pachinko machine 1 that supports the launch power board box 830 and exhibits the above-described effects can be reliably realized.

  Further, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is provided in the firing power supply board 831. Since the firing power supply board 831 can be easily detached from the front side of the main body frame 3, power is supplied from the electrolytic capacitor SC0 to the firing solenoid 654. Even if the load on the electrolytic capacitor SC0 becomes large and the electrolytic capacitor SC0 is likely to deteriorate, the electrolytic capacitor SC0 (launching power supply substrate 831) can be easily replaced, and the malfunction can be solved at an early stage to interrupt the game. The time can be shortened as much as possible, and the pachinko machine 1 that reliably exhibits the above-described effects can be obtained.

  Further, the power supply board box holder 840 in the board unit 800 receives a game ball that is opened upward and discharged from the out ball discharge portion 1161 of the game board 4 to the lower left side of the left and right center in front view. A discharge ball receiving portion 841, a discharge passage 842 that guides and discharges the game balls received by the discharge ball receiving portion 841 downward, and the front side of the discharge passage 842 and the discharge ball receiving portion 841 (right side in front view) The front box housing portion 843 that is open forward and upward and can accommodate the rear side of the launch power board box 830, and the entire rear surface of the power board box holder 840 are formed so as to be recessed forward. A rear box accommodating portion 844 that can be accommodated.

  In the power supply board box holder 840, the opened front end side of the discharge passage 842 is closed by the rear surface of the board unit base 810, and the opening 812 of the board unit base 810 is located at a desired position to the discharge passage 842. The rear side of the substrate unit base 810 passes through the opening 812 of the substrate base unit 810 through the main body frame base ball passage 622 formed on the rear surface of the lower rear wall portion 604 of the main body frame base 600. The game ball that has flowed down and the game ball that has been discharged from the out-ball discharge unit 1161 of the game board 4 and received by the discharge ball receiving unit 841, which will be described in detail later, pass through the discharge passage 842 to the lower rear side of the pachinko machine 1. Can be discharged.

  The power supply board box holder 840 is formed at a position corresponding to the box accommodation part 816 of the board unit base 810, and the box accommodation part 816 and the front box accommodation part 843 accommodate the emission power supply board box 830. A recess can be formed.

  Furthermore, the power supply board box 850 in the board unit 800 is formed in a horizontally long box shape with the front open, and includes a power supply board 851 attached so as to close the front end opening. The power supply board box 850 accommodates various electronic components attached to the power supply board 851, and externally transfers heat from the electronic parts and the like through a plurality of slits 850a formed on the upper surface and the lower surface. Can be released. As shown in FIG. 86, a power switch 852 attached to the power supply board 851 faces the rear surface of the power supply board box 850.

  The power supply board box 850 is a standing wall that protrudes rearward along the lower side of the opening where the power supply terminal 853 (see FIGS. 84 and 86) attached to the lower side of the power switch 852 in the power supply board 851 faces the rear side. The wiring cord 854 can be inserted between the portion 850b, the protruding portion 850c projecting rearward from both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, and the outer periphery of the power supply board box 850 disposed on the front side and the lower side of the standing wall portion 850b. And a wiring guide portion 850d that forms a large gap. Although not shown in detail, the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply board 851 has a locking piece to be locked with the locking claw of the connector terminal 855, and the locking claw and the locking piece. And the connector terminal 855 is prevented from being detached from the power supply terminal 853.

  As shown in FIG. 87, the power board box 850 has a standing wall 850b slightly behind the rear end of the connector terminal 855 in a state where the connector terminal 855 of the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power terminal 853 of the power board 851. It is formed so as to protrude. In the power supply board box 850 of this example, the wiring cord 854 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 of the power supply board 851 in a state where the wiring cord 854 is turned from the lower front side of the power supply board box 850 to the rear end so as to be hooked to the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b. A terminal 855 is connected.

  By the way, when the connector terminal where the wiring cord extends is connected to the connection terminal attached to the board, and then the wiring cord is pulled to the board side, the connector terminal is connected by the tension from the wiring cord. Since it is in a state of being pressed against the terminal side, there is a problem that it is difficult to remove the connector terminal from the connection terminal. However, according to the power supply board box 850 of this example, the front end side of the wiring cord 854 (the side opposite to the connector terminal 855 side connected to the power supply terminal 853) is directed to the power supply board 851 side (front side with respect to the main body frame 3). Even when pulled, the wiring cord 854 is routed around the connector terminal 855 so as to turn (turn back) from the connector terminal 855 by the standing wall portion 850b protruding rearward from the connector terminal 855. It is possible to prevent a force from pressing the terminal 855 toward the power supply terminal 853 side, and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power supply terminal 853 can be easily removed.

  Further, since the power supply board box 850 includes the protruding portions 850c protruding rearward on both sides of the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, even if the wiring cord 854 slides along the rear end of the standing wall portion 850b, The protrusions 850c provided at both ends can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and the wiring cord 854 can be prevented from coming off the standing wall portion 850b.

  Further, by inserting the wiring cord 854 into the wiring guide portion 850d of the power supply board box 850, the wiring cord 854 folded back by the standing wall portion 850b can be moved toward the standing wall portion 850b, so that the wiring cord 854 is drawn from the standing wall portion 850b. Since the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b and the wiring cord 854 can be immediately moved to the standing wall portion 850b side by the wiring guide portion 850d, a series of operations are continuously performed. This can be performed, and the work process related to assembly can be simplified.

  The power supply board box 850 and the power supply board holder 840 are formed so that the dimensions in the front-rear direction in the assembled state are substantially the same as the dimensions in the front-rear direction of the speaker box 820. When attached, the rear surface of the power supply board box 850 and the rear surface of the speaker box 820 are substantially flush with each other.

  Further, in this example, the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 facing from the opening of the power supply board box 850 that covers the power supply board 851, and then the connector is connected by the standing wall portion 850b protruding rearward from the rear end of the connector terminal 855. Since the wiring cord 854 extending from the rear end of the terminal 855 is folded back, the tension applied to the connector terminal 855 when the wiring cord 854 is pulled is connected to the power supply terminal whose connection is fixed by a locking claw or the like. The connector terminal 855 can be prevented from being disconnected by the wiring cord 854 and the connector terminal 855 connected to the power terminal 853 of the power board 851 can be prevented. Can be easily removed, and maintenance such as substrate replacement can be easily performed.

  Further, the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply board box 850, and the bending of the wiring cord 854 can be loosened as compared with the case where there is no standing wall portion 850b. It is possible to prevent an unreasonable force from acting on the 854 itself, and it is possible to prevent the wiring cord 854 from being disconnected due to the unreasonable force and causing a failure.

  Further, a standing wall portion 850b is provided in the vicinity of the opening of the power supply board box 850 facing the power supply terminal 853, and the standing wall portion 850b is positioned adjacent to the power supply terminal 853, so that it is connected to the power supply terminal 853. The wiring cord 854 extending from the connector terminal 855 can be extended to the rear side as straight as possible with respect to the connector terminal 855, and the joint between the connector terminal 855 and the wiring cord 854 is broken. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a force from acting and to prevent problems such as disconnection.

  Further, since the power supply board box 850 that covers the power supply board 851 is provided with the standing wall portion 850b, it is not necessary to provide the power supply board 851 with the standing wall portion 850b, and the assembly work of the power supply board 851 can be facilitated. . In addition, since the power supply board 851 is covered with the power supply board box 850, dust and dirt that cause a failure can be prevented from adhering to the power supply board 851 and mounted on the power supply board 851. It is possible to make it difficult to touch or replace electronic components (for example, resistors, capacitors, transistors, ICs, CPUs, memories, etc.) and to increase the defense against fraud. It has become.

  In addition, the direction in which the connector terminal 855 is connected to the power supply terminal 853 in the power supply board 851 is substantially perpendicular to the board surface (front-rear direction), and the connector terminal is connected to the power supply terminal 853 mounted on the power supply board 851. Since the force applied when connecting or removing the 855 can be easily applied to the surface of the power supply substrate 851, it is possible to prevent the shearing force from acting on the lead portion of the power supply terminal 853. Can be prevented from being energized and causing a failure of energization or the power supply terminal 853 being detached from the power supply board 851, and the pachinko machine 1 that is less prone to malfunction can be obtained.

  Further, since the connection between the connector terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 is fixed by the fixing means using the locking claw and the locking piece, the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b so that the wiring cord 854 is Even if a force is applied to the connector terminal 855 in such a direction as to release the connection with the power supply terminal 853, the connection between the connector terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 can be prevented from being released. Connection between the terminal 855 and the power supply terminal 853 can be reliably maintained to prevent problems such as poor contact and poor energization.

  Further, since the projections 850c projecting rearward are provided at both ends of the rear end where the wiring cord 854 in the standing wall portion 850b of the power supply board box 850 is folded back, the wiring cord 854 is folded back at the standing wall portion 850b. Even if it slides along the side, the projection 850c provided at both ends of the side can prevent the wiring cord 854 from sliding further outward, and the wiring cord 854 can be prevented from coming off the standing wall 850b. The pachinko machine 1 that reliably prevents the above-described effects can be realized.

  Further, since the wiring cord 854 folded back at the standing wall portion 850b is moved toward the standing wall portion 850b by the wiring guide portion 850d provided in the power supply board box 850, the wiring cord 854 is not easily detached from the standing wall portion 850b. In addition, the above-described effects can be surely achieved, and the wiring cord 854 is folded back by the standing wall portion 850b, and then the wiring cord 854 is immediately moved toward the standing wall portion 850b by the wiring guide portion 850d. Thus, a series of operations can be performed continuously, and the work process related to assembly can be simplified to prevent an increase in cost.

  Also, the payout control board box 860 in the board unit 800 includes a thin box-shaped box base 861 that is horizontally long and opened rearward, and a thin box-shaped cover that is fitted into the box base 861 from the rear side and opened forward. 862 and a dispensing control board 4110 (see FIG. 161) attached to the rear surface of the box base 861 and covered by the cover 862. Further, the payout control board box 860 includes a plurality of separation cutting portions 863 that protrude outward from the left end in the rear view and are formed on both the box base 861 and the cover 862, and are provided at one location of the plurality of separation cutting portions 863. The box base 861 and the cover 862 are fixed by caulking. Thus, in order to separate the box base 861 and the cover 862, the separation and cutting portion 863 must be cut so that the box base 861 and the cover 862 cannot be separated.

Since the screw fixing portion 1003 constituting the structure is formed so as to project in the horizontal direction from the side surface 1001b that contacts the peripheral wall portion 605 of the U-shaped base body 1001, the front locking structure contacts the peripheral wall portion 605. Compared with the case where it is formed on the side surface 1001b, the locking device 1000 can be fixed to the main body frame base 600 so as not to be loose.

  Next, the operation of the locking device 1000 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 96 and 97. As shown in FIG. 96, when the main body frame base 600 (main body frame 3) is closed with respect to the outer frame 2 and the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, as shown in FIG. Further, the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 are locked, and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the door frame 5 The hook cover 165 is locked. In this state, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the first engagement protrusion 1017 of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the first engagement protrusion 1017 engages with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 to depress the lower hook member 1052 downward against the urging force of the spring 1048, and is connected thereto. The connected connecting rod 1053 and the upper hook member 1051 are also pushed down and lowered. As a result, the locking state between the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 and the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 is released, and the main body frame 3 is removed by pulling the main body frame 3 to the front side. The frame 2 can be opened.

  When the main body frame 3 is closed, the hook portions 1054 and 1065 are lifted by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lifted position as in the state shown in FIG. 96A). , 1065 is inclined downward toward the outer side, so that the upper side inclined portion of the hook portions 1054, 1065 is formed on the closing plates 24, 25 by forcibly pressing the main body frame 3 against the outer frame 2. Since it contacts the lower end, the main body frame sliding rod 1050 descends downward, and the upward claw portions of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 are locked again, thereby sliding the main body frame. The hook 1050 is raised and returned to the locked state.

  On the other hand, when a key (not shown) is inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 and the second engagement protrusion 1018 of the engagement cam 1016 rotates in a direction to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020, as shown in FIG. The front end of the two engaging protrusions 1018 engages with the ascending engagement hole 1045 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 and pushes the door frame sliding rod 1040 upwardly against the urging force of the spring 1048. For this reason, the hook state 165 of the door frame 5 and the door frame hook portion 1041 of the door frame sliding rod 1040 are released from the locked state. The main frame 3 can be opened.

  When the door frame 5 is closed, the door frame hook portion 1041 is lowered by the urging force of the spring 1048 (the same lowered position as in the state shown in FIG. 96A). Since the lower side of the hook part 1041 for the door is inclined upward toward the outside, the lower side inclined part of the hook part 1041 for the door frame is hooked to the hook cover 165 by forcibly pressing the door frame 5 against the main body frame 3. The door frame sliding rod 1040 is raised upward, and the downward claw portion of the door frame hook portion 1041 and the hook cover 165 are re-engaged with each other. The pail 1040 descends and returns to the locked state. The door frame sliding rod 1040 according to the present embodiment is formed to have a length substantially the same as the full length of the U-shaped base 1001, and the U-shaped base 1001 is substantially the vertical side surface of the main body frame 3. The door frame hook portion 1041 that is attached over the entire length and is a locking portion with the door frame 5 is formed at three locations of the upper end portion, the center portion, and the lower end portion of the door frame sliding rod 1040. Therefore, it is possible to securely lock the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 in the entire length in the vertical direction, and forcibly open the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 and insert an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire from the inside. The act cannot be performed.

  Thus, the locking device 1000 of the door frame 3 of this embodiment releases the locking of the main body frame 3 with respect to the outer frame 2 by rotating the key inserted into the cylinder lock 1010 in one direction, and in the other direction. The door frame 5 can be unlocked with respect to the main body frame 3 by rotating. Further, the lock device 1000 of this example performs an illegal act of hooking a piano wire or the like on the hook portions 1054 and 1065 of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and lowering it without inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010. Can not be. The first structure for preventing such fraud is a lock mechanism composed of a first fraud prevention member 1023 and a second fraud prevention member 1032, and the second fraud prevention structure is a U-shaped base 1001. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are accommodated in the closed space.

  First, the operation of the lock mechanism, which is the first fraud prevention structure, will be described with reference to FIG. First, in a state where the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 3 are closed, as shown in FIG. 97A, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 contact It has become a state. In this state, the first fraud prevention member 1023 is rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 1035 so that the stopper piece 1027 enters the fraud prevention notch 1007 and the stopper piece 1027 is intrusion prevention notch. The main body frame sliding rod 1050 at a position corresponding to 1007 is engaged with an engagement notch 1066 formed on the lower hook member 1052. As a result, even if the piano frame or the like is hooked onto the main body frame sliding rod 1050 and pulled down, the stopper piece portion 1027 and the engagement notch portion 1066 are engaged. Unauthorized pulling down (unlocking) becomes impossible, and an illegal act of opening the main body frame 3 cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, when the main body frame 3 is properly unlocked by inserting a key into the cylinder lock 1010, the first engagement protrusion of the engagement cam 1016 is rotated by rotating the key as shown in FIG. The piece 1017 is rotated so as to enter the insertion vertical opening 1020. When the first engagement protrusion 1017 is rotated, the inclined portion 1024 of the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the side surface of the first engagement protrusion 1017 come into contact with each other. The stopper piece 1027 starts to rotate around the angle 1025 in the clockwise direction shown in the figure, and also moves so as to be retracted from the tamper-proof notch 1007. As a result, the engagement between the stopper piece 1027 and the engagement notch 1066 is released. At this time, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in a position where the spring 1035 is extended and the contact portion 1037 is retracted. When the engagement cam 1016 is further rotated in this state and the first engagement protrusion 1017 is also rotated, the tip of the first engagement protrusion 1017 is engaged with the lower engagement hole 1062 of the lower hook member 1052. Since the entire body frame sliding rod 1050 is lowered, the hooked state of the hook portions 1054 and 1065 and the closing plates 24 and 25 of the outer frame 2 is released, and the main body frame 3 is released from the outer frame 2. Can be done.

  Note that when the main body frame 3 is closed with respect to the outer frame 2, the second fraud prevention member 1032 is in contact with the restriction protrusion 1031, so the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member The positional relationship with 1032 is substantially the same as the state shown in FIG. When the main body frame 3 is closed in this state, the closing plate 25 of the outer frame 2 and the contact portion 1037 of the second fraud prevention member 1032 contact from the front, and finally the state shown in FIG. 97 (A) is obtained. Thereby, the first fraud prevention member 1023 and the second fraud prevention member 1032 do not get in the way when the main body frame 3 is closed. In the present embodiment, the first tamper-proof member 1023 and the second tamper-proof member 1032 prevent only the lowering operation of the main body frame sliding rod 1050 from being illegally performed. If the frame sliding rod 1050 is opened improperly, the door frame sliding rod 1040 can be easily opened manually after being released, and the illegal act of raising the sliding rod with a piano wire or the like is practically difficult to perform. For this reason, it has been devised to prevent unauthorized operation of the body frame sliding rod 1050.

  Further, even in the lock mechanism that is the above-described first fraud prevention structure, it is impossible to disable the function of the lock mechanism by swinging the first fraud prevention member 1023 with a piano wire or the like. Absent. Therefore, assuming that the lock function of the lock mechanism is disabled by an unauthorized action, in the present embodiment, in the state where the lock device 1000 is attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600), the internal The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 provided in the housing are housed in the closed space of the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, and are completely covered. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to pull down the body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside the closed space of the U-shaped base 1001 by inserting a piano wire or the like, both side surfaces 1001a, 1001b of the U-shaped base 1001 Since the intruder is prevented from entering the closed space, the structure is such that it is not possible to easily perform the illegal act.

  As described above, the lock device 1000 of the present embodiment has the sliding frame 1040 for the door frame in the inside of the U-shaped base 1001 whose width is extremely thin as compared with the conventional lock device concentrated on the L-shaped base. The body frame sliding rod 1050 is slidably provided and the cylinder lock 1010 for operating the locking device 1000 is attached to the U-shaped base 1001 at a position below the lower end side of the game board 4. Therefore, even if the size of the game board 4 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction is extremely large, and the space surrounded by the side walls 540 to 543 of the main body frame 3 is increased, the lock device 1000 is placed on the back side of the main body frame 3. Can be attached firmly.

  Moreover, since the open side of the U-shaped base 1001 is attached so that the open side of the U-shaped cross section faces the back surface of the main body frame 3, The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered by the U-shaped base body 1001 except for the hook portions 1041, 1054, and 1065, respectively. It is impossible to easily perform an illegal act such as pulling down a body frame sliding rod 1050 provided inside by inserting a piano wire or the like.

  Further, when the locking device 1000 is attached, the locking protrusions 1004 formed at the upper, middle, and lower portions of the open side (front portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are inserted into the door hook hole 620 and the lock locking hole 621. The structure is such that the screw fixing portions 1003 formed at the upper, middle, and lower portions of the closed side (rear portion) of the U-shaped base 1001 are fixed to the lock mounting portion 625 with screws. With this structure, the lock device 1000 can be firmly fixed to the main body frame 3 (main body frame base 600).

  In the locking device 1000 of this example, the screw fixing portion 1003 formed in the lock mounting piece 1008 and the upper portion of the cylinder lock through hole 611 of the main body frame 3 as a structure for fixing the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 with screws. Although the structure in which the formed lock attachment portion 625 is screwed is shown, instead of this, a screw 1012 for attaching the cylinder lock 1010 to the lock attachment piece 1008 is used, and the tip of the screw 1012 is attached to the lock. It is good also as a structure which forms the lock attachment hole penetrated through the piece 1008 and the cylinder lock penetration hole 611 up and down. Even if the lower portion of the U-shaped base 1001 is not screwed, the locking device 1000 can be attached to the main body frame 3 (main body frame only by fixing the screw fixing portion 1003 and the lock mounting portion 625 at the rear of the locking device 1000. It can be fixed sufficiently firmly on the back surface of the base 600).

  In the lock device 1000 of this example, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are completely covered with the U-shaped base 1001 having the left and right side surfaces 1001a and 1001b. For example, the door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod 1050 are slidably mounted on the opposite side surface 1001a not in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 with a rivet or the like, and the side surface 1001b in contact with the peripheral wall portion 605 is omitted. The door frame sliding rod 1040 and the body frame sliding rod are formed in a closed space formed by the side surface 1001a of the L-shaped substrate (tablet substrate) and the first side wall 540. It is good also as a structure which accommodates 1050, and there can exist an effect similar to the locking device 1000 mentioned above.

Here, a basic configuration of the game board 4 will be described, and a detailed configuration will be described later.

[1-4A. Previous component]
Next, the front component member 1110 in the game board 4 will be described. The front component member 1110 in the game board 4 of this example has a substantially rectangular shape whose outer shape can be inserted into the game board holding port 601 of the main body frame 3, and the inner shape penetrates in a front-rear direction in a substantially circular shape. The outer periphery of the game area 1100 is defined by the inner periphery of the inner shape. The front component member 1110 has an outer rail 1111 that extends in an arc shape from the lower left end toward the left side from the center in the left-right direction in a front view and extends to the upper right side through the center upper end in the left-right direction in the front view. An inner rail 1112 that is arranged substantially inside the outer rail 1111 along the outer rail 1111 and extends in an arc shape from the center lower part in the left-right direction in front view to the upper left part in the front view so as to smoothly continue from the lower end of the inner rail 1112 An inner peripheral rail 1113 extending in an arc shape to a position below the end (upper end) of the outer rail 1111 along the counterclockwise circumferential direction when viewed from the front, and the end (upper end) of the inner peripheral rail 1113 and the outer rail 1111 , The inner rail 1112 and the inner peripheral rail 1113, which can be contacted with the game ball rolling along the outer rail 1111. Is located at the lowermost end of the game area 1100 at the boundary of the outer area, and is supported by the upper end of the inner rail 1112 so as to be rotatable, and closes between the outer rail 1111. In this way, it is possible to rotate only between the closed position extending upward from the upper end of the inner rail 1112 and the open position where the outer rail 1111 is opened by rotating in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front. And a backflow prevention member 1116 biased by a spring (not shown) so as to return to the closed position side.

  When the game board 4 is attached to the main body frame 3, the front component member 1110 has a lower end opening between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 as shown in FIG. It is positioned on the extension of the firing rail 660 in the device 650. Between the lower end of the outer rail 1111 and the upper end of the firing rail 660, a space extending in the left-right direction and downward is formed, and a game ball launched along the firing rail 660 of the hitting ball launcher 650 is Then, it jumps over the space and is driven between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112 from the lower end opening between the outer rail 1111 and the inner rail 1112.

It has become.

[1-4G. Second embodiment of front component]
Next, a front component member 1110A having a form different from that of the front component member 1110 in the gaming board 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. The gaming panel 1200, the board holder 1160, and the main control board box 1170 in FIGS. 106 and 108 are the same as the embodiment of FIGS. 103 to 105 in that the outer shape of the panel plate 1210 and the inner shape of the through-hole 1222 of the panel holder 1220 are the same. The configuration is the same as that of the example of FIGS. 103 to 105, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The front structural member 1110A shown in FIGS. 106 and 107 is different from the front structural member 1110 described above in that a part of the inner peripheral shape penetrating in the front-rear direction is different and the function display unit 1180 is not provided. The point is very different. In addition, about another structure, it is the same as that of the front structural member 1110, and while attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, in the game board 4 using the front component member 1110A, the function display unit 1180 is provided in either the front unit 2000 or the back unit 3000 in the game board 4 (in this example, the front unit 2000).

  As shown in the figure, the front component member 1110A has a frame-like inner peripheral shape that extends from the out-port guide surface 1115 in the clockwise direction in a front view to the inner rail 1112 and the stop portion 1114 of the outer rail 1111. The shape is the same as that of the above-described front component member 1110, and the shape from the stop portion 1114 to the out port guide surface 1115 in the clockwise direction is different from that of the above-described front component member 1110. ing. Specifically, a portion extending from the stopper 1114 to a position immediately above the right-side certificate sticking portion 1125 disposed immediately below the stopper 1114 is formed in a gentle arc shape, and from the arc-shaped lower end to the outlet. It is formed in a straight line inclined so that the distance to the guide surface 1115 becomes lower toward the out-mouth guide surface 1115.

  The front component member 1110A of the present example can secure a wider game area 1100 than the above-described front component member 1110, and the wide game area 1100 can make the player more entertaining. It can be done.

  In the example of FIGS. 106 and 107, the game panel 1200 is attached to the rear side of the front component member 1110A. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it attach the game panel 1150 which consists of one board as shown to 101. FIG.

[1-5. Security structure of pachinko machine]
Next, the crime prevention structure in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. FIG. 108 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a security structure on the shaft support side of the pachinko machine. FIG. 109 is a perspective view seen from the rear side in a state in which the game board is accommodated.

  First, as shown in FIG. 108, the security structure on the pivot support side in the pachinko machine 1 of this example is a side surface on the pivot support side (left side in front view) of the main body frame base 600 formed of the synthetic resin in the main body frame 3. The metal crime prevention side plate 950 attached to the door frame 5 and the metal reinforcing unit 150 attached to the rear surface of the door frame base 110 formed of the synthetic resin in the door frame 5 are configured.

  As described above, the security side plate 950 of the main body frame 3 is formed of an extrusion mold material made of metal (for example, aluminum alloy), and the vertical dimension is substantially the same as the vertical dimension of the main body frame base 600. In addition, the dimension in the front-rear direction is larger than the dimension in the front-rear direction in which the front component member 1110 and the game panel 1150 in the game board 4 are combined. This side crime prevention plate 950 extends in the vertical direction, extends in the front-rear direction, and forms a side surface of the main body frame 3, and a front end extending from the front end of the side piece 952a to the inner side (open side) in a substantially right angle direction. A piece 952b, a middle piece 952c extending along the front end piece 952b from the side piece 952a so as to form a predetermined amount of clearance on the rear side of the front end piece 952b, and extending inward from the rear end of the side piece 952a in a substantially perpendicular direction. And a rear end piece 952d. Thus, the front end of the security side plate 950 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens inward (open side) by the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c.

  Further, the side security plate 950 (main body 952) has the strength and rigidity of the side security plate 950 by the front end piece 952b, the middle piece 952c, and the rear end piece 952d arranged in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the side plate piece 952a. The strength of the main body frame 3 is increased so that the game board 4 and the door frame 5 can be favorably supported.

  On the other hand, the reinforcement unit 150 of the door frame 5 is formed in a frame shape so as to surround the outer periphery of the gaming window 101 in the door frame 5 using spot welding, rivets, or the like, as described above. The shaft support side reinforcing sheet metal 152 on the shaft support side is provided with a shaft support side U-shaped projecting piece 166 having a substantially U-shaped cross section opened outward (the shaft support side). In the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 of the reinforcing unit 150, the strength of the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is further increased by the support-side U-shaped projecting piece 166, and the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is difficult to bend. .

  By the way, in this example, since the door frame 5 is attached and supported only at the upper and lower points of the upper shaft support portion 156 and the lower shaft support portion 158 with respect to the main body frame 3, the door frame 5 on the shaft support side. If an unauthorized tool such as a screwdriver or a bar is inserted between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3, the support-side reinforcing sheet metal 152 is deformed, and the gap between the door frame 5 and the main body frame 3 is increased. There is a risk of cheating. On the other hand, in the security structure of this example, when the door frame 5 is closed with respect to the main body frame 3, the front end piece 952b and the middle piece 952c formed inside the front end of the security side face plate 950 are provided. A rear piece of a pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 formed in a substantially U-shape of the reinforcing unit 150 in the door frame 5 is inserted (enters), and the front end piece 952a is pivotally supported. The side U-shaped projecting piece 166 is sandwiched. Accordingly, even if the door frame 5 is forcibly opened with respect to the main body frame 3, the shaft-supporting U-shaped projecting piece 166 of the door frame 5 comes into contact with the rear surface side of the front end piece 952 b of the main body frame 3. Since the pivot-side U-shaped projecting piece 166 can be prevented from moving in a direction away from the main body frame 3, the closed door frame 5 can be prevented from being opened, and the main body frame can be prevented. It is possible to prevent a fraudulent act such as opening the door frame 5 with respect to 3.

  In addition, since the security side plate 950 formed of metal in the main body frame 3 and the reinforcing unit 150 formed of metal in the door frame 5 are fitted, the space between the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 is set. Since the strength and rigidity of the main body frame 3 and the door frame 5 can be made difficult to be distorted by an unauthorized tool, the crime prevention performance can be improved.

  Further, since the rear end of the side piece 952a in the security side plate 950 extends rearward from the game panel 1150 in the game board 4, the main body frame base 600 on the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952a is assumed. Even if the player is destroyed, an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire cannot be entered from the rear end of the side piece 952a into the game area 1100 on the front surface of the game board 4 (game panel 1150). Can be surely prevented. As shown in FIG. 108, the side frame plate 12 of the outer frame 2 is in contact with the outside of the security side plate 950, so that the pachinko machine 1 has a robust side surface. It can be fully countered against the destruction of the. In general, in the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the side surface of the pachinko machine 1 is inserted and fixed within the frame of the island facility for installing the pachinko machine 1, so that the player side From the (front side), it is almost impossible to allow an unauthorized tool to enter the rear side of the rear end of the side piece 952c, and the crime prevention performance of the pachinko machine 1 is further improved.

  Next, as a crime prevention structure from the rear side in the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, as shown in FIG. Since the unit base 741, the full tank branch unit 770, and the back cover 900 are formed of a transparent synthetic resin, the game board 4 is connected to the rear side or the side of the game board 4 accommodated in the main body frame 3. Even if it is not removed from the main body frame 3 or the back cover 900 is not opened, it can be visually recognized from the rear side of the main body frame 3. As a result, even if an unauthorized device is attached to the rear side of the game board 4 or the like, it can be easily discovered and illegal acts can be prevented. Further, since it is possible to easily find an unauthorized device or the like attached to the game board 4 from the outside, it is possible to hesitate to attach an unauthorized device, and it is possible to increase deterrence against unauthorized acts. ing.

  In addition, since the rear side and the side surface of the game board 4 can be visually recognized from the rear side of the main body frame 3 through the transparent prize base 710, the back cover 900, etc., the main body frame can be used for maintenance and model change. When the game board 4 is attached to or detached from the board 3, even if tools such as a screwdriver or pliers, cleaning waste, dust or dirt remain between the main body frame 3 and the game board 4, remove them. Therefore, it is possible to prevent any trouble from occurring, and to improve the maintainability of the pachinko machine 1.

Further, the passage forming member 2122 can support the second start port sensor 2125 at a position substantially in the center in the left-right direction of the second passage 2122b, and circulates through the second passage 2122b (that is, The game ball that has passed through the second start port 2102 can be detected by the second start port sensor 2125.

  In addition, the passage forming member 2122 can cover the front side of the normal symbol display board 1191a attached to the front surface of the second base 2121 at a portion below the right shelf 2122e.

  The second passage 2122b of the passage forming member 2122 has a bottom wall positioned directly below the right end opening when viewed from the front, and is formed in an arc shape so that the game ball passing through the right end opening (second start port 2102) can be smoothly passed. Can be distributed in the left direction. The guide wall 2122h formed in the first passage 2122a in the passage forming member 2122 is disposed at a position corresponding to the recess 2121b in the second base 2121 and is inclined in an arc shape so as to become lower toward the rear. The game ball that has passed through the upper end opening (gate portion 2105) of the first passage 2122a can be smoothly guided into the recess 2121b of the second base 2121.

  The second case 2123 of the second unit 2120 has a box shape with the front side open, and can be divided into an upper case 2123a and a lower case 2123b. The upper case 2123a and the lower case 2123b The movable piece 2106 can be slidably supported in the front-rear direction. In addition to the movable piece 2106 and the start port solenoid 2124, the second case 2123 includes a link member 2129 that transmits the movement of the plunger that advances and retreats in the vertical direction of the start port solenoid 2124 to move the movable piece 2106 back and forth. Supporting inside.

  The start port solenoid 2124 of the second unit 2120 is supported by the second case 2123 so that the plunger moves forward and backward, and the plunger protrudes downward in a normal state (when not energized). In this normal state, the movable piece 2106 protrudes forward from the front surface of the second base 2121 via the link member 2129 connected to the tip of the plunger in the start port solenoid 2124, and the second start port 2102. The game ball is prevented from being accepted. On the other hand, when the start port solenoid 2124 is energized, the plunger tip rises so as to be immersed, and the movable piece 2106 is moved rearward from the front surface of the second base 2121 via the link member 2129 connected to the plunger tip. It will move backward, and it will be in the state which can accept the game ball to the 2nd starting port 2102 here.

  The second unit 2120 includes a plurality of rectangular openings 2128 a arranged in the left-right direction on the light shielding member 2128, and each opening 2128 a of the light shielding member 2128 is provided on the front surface of the second start port decoration board 2127. LEDs are mounted so as to correspond to each other, and each of the openings 2128a can be decorated with light emission.

  When the game ball enters the first passage 2122a from the upper end opening (gate portion 2105), the second unit 2120 passes through the gate sensor 2126 and is recessed in the second base 2121 by the guide wall 2122h inclined backward. After being once sent into 2121b, it returns again from the inside of the recess 2121b into the first passage 2122a and flows down onto the second starting port 2102. In the first passage 2122a, the game ball meanders by the guide wall 2122h and the concave portion 2121b, and the flow velocity of the game ball is attenuated so that the movable piece 2106 and the second passage arranged on the downstream side are attenuated. It is possible to reduce the impact applied when contacting 2122a.

  In this example, the passage of the gate portion 2105 is detected by the gate sensor 2126. When the passage of the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2126, a normal lottery is performed and a predetermined normal lottery result is drawn. . If the selected lottery result is a win, the movable piece 2106 is retracted from the front surface of the second base 2121 by driving the start opening solenoid 2124, the second start opening 2102 is opened, and a game ball can be received. The game ball flowing down from the first passage 2122a enters the second passage 2122b through the second starting port 2102. Then, the game ball that has entered the second passage 2122b circulates in the left direction when viewed from the front by the arc-shaped bottom wall, and is detected by the second start port sensor 2125, and then rearward from the left end of the second passage 2122b. The second unit 2120 is discharged (discharged) to the rear side (rear side of the game panel 1150) through the passage hole 2121a of the second base 2121 on the side. In this example, the time from when the gate sensor 2126 detects the passage of the game ball until the movable piece 2106 is slid by driving the start port solenoid 2124 and the game ball can be received at the second start port 2102 is reached. If the normal lottery result is a win, the game ball that triggered the lottery is received at the second start port 2102 with a very high probability. It is like that. The start port solenoid 2124 is driven only for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 second to 2 seconds) with respect to one hit, and when the predetermined time elapses, the start port solenoid 2124 is driven. When the driving is completed, the movable piece 2106 slides forward, and the second start port 2102 is closed.

  On the other hand, when the lottery result of the normal lottery is lost, the start opening solenoid 2124 is not driven and the movable piece 2106 remains moving forward, and the game ball flowing down from the first passage 2122a is moved to the movable piece 2106. This prevents entry into the second starting port 2102. Then, the game ball whose movement into the second starting port 2102 is blocked by the movable piece 2106 circulates from the left discharge port 2122f between the first passage 2122a and the second passage 2122b to the left shelf portion 2122g, and left It is discharged from the left end of the shelf 2122g (into the game area 1100 on the front surface of the game panel 1150). Note that the movable piece 2106 is inclined such that the upper surface of the movable piece 2106 is lowered on the left side of the front, and even if the game ball stays on the movable piece 2106, the inclination of the game ball naturally rolls to the left in the front view. It is discharged from the discharge port 2122f to the left shelf 2122g.

  In the second unit 2120, depending on the state of the game ball flowing through the first passage 2122a, the game ball may be released from the right discharge port 2122d in the first passage 2122a, and is released from the right discharge port 2122d. The game ball passes through the right shelf 2122e and is released into the game area 1100 from the right end of the right shelf 2122e.

  More specifically, the colored layer of the effect sheet 2626 in the fixed decorative body 2620A has a black portion that is not included in any pattern when the pattern in FIG. 144 (c) and the pattern in FIG. 144 (d) are overlapped. 2626a and a portion included in any of the patterns is an uncolored portion 2626d. Moreover, when the pattern of FIG. 144 (c) and the pattern of FIG. 144 (d) are overlapped, the part of only the pattern of FIG. 144 (c) is the blue portion 2626b, and the pattern of FIG. 144 (d) Only the portion is a red portion 2626c. Therefore, when the LED emits blue light, light is transmitted through the blue portion 2626b and the uncolored portion 2626d, and light is not transmitted through the black portion 2626a and the red portion 2626c. The simulated pattern) emits blue light. In addition, when the LED emits red light, light is transmitted through the red portion 2626c and the uncolored portion 2626d, and light is not transmitted through the black portion 2626a and the blue portion 2626b. The simulated pattern) emits red light. When the LED emits white light, a pattern as shown in FIG. 144 (a) emits light.

  In this way, the fixed decorative body 2620A has a three-dimensional effect when the relief formed on the front cover 2625 is reflected on the effect sheet 2626 when the LED of the front right middle decorative board 2640 arranged on the rear side is not emitting light. While a certain decoration can be presented, different patterns can be displayed in a light-emitting manner according to the light emission color of the LED, and various effects can be presented to the player so that it is difficult to get bored. Note that the relief of the front cover 2625 has substantially the same shape as the pattern that is displayed when the LED emits blue light, so that the pattern that emits blue light together with the relief of the front cover 2625 has a stereoscopic effect. Can be granted.

The main control MPU 4100a has a built-in ROM 4100d (hereinafter also referred to as “main control built-in ROM 4100d”) and a main control built-in RAM 4100e, as well as a watchdog timer for monitoring its operation (system) and to prevent fraud. These functions are also built in.

  The main control MPU 4100 a of the main control board 4100 includes a first start port sensor 3081 that detects a game ball received in the first start port 2101 and a second start port sensor that detects a game ball received in the second start port 2102. 2125 and a general winning opening sensor 3082 for detecting a game ball received in the general winning opening 2104, 2201 are input via the main control I / O port 4100b, a gate sensor 2126, and a general winning opening, respectively. Detection signals from the sensor 3082, the count sensor 2114, and the magnetic detection sensor 3080 attached to the back unit 3000 are input via the panel relay board 3025 attached to the game board 4 and the main control I / O port 4100b.

Further, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a receives an in-execution signal, which will be described later, from the VDP 4150c, and performs interrupt processing when the output of the in-execution signal is stopped every 16 ms.

  The liquid crystal control ROM 4150b, in addition to various programs for generating a screen to be drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900, schedule data corresponding to control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010, its control data (display command), and A plurality of corresponding non-resident area transfer schedule data are stored. The schedule data is configured by arranging screen data defining the screen configuration in time series, and the order of screens drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is defined. The non-resident area transfer schedule data is constituted by arranging non-resident area transfer data that defines the order when transferring various data stored in the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e. In this non-resident area transfer data, the order of transferring various data from the character ROM 4150d to the non-resident area of the character RAM 4150e in advance is defined for the screen data drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 according to the progress of the schedule data.

  The liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts the top screen data of the schedule data corresponding to the control data (display command) from the peripheral control board 4010 from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and outputs it to the VDP 4150c, and then the screen data following the top screen data. Extracted from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and output to the VDP 4150c. As described above, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a extracts screen data arranged in time series in the schedule data one by one from the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b one by one from the head screen data, and outputs it to the VDP 4150c.

  When the screen data output from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is input, the VDP 4150c extracts sprite data from the character RAM 4150e based on the input screen data, and generates drawing data to be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. The generated drawing data is output to the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, when the VDP 4150c does not accept the screen data from the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, the VDP 4150c outputs a running signal indicating that fact to the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a. The VDP 4150c employs a line buffer method. In this “line buffer system”, drawing data for one line for drawing the horizontal direction of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is held in the line buffer, and the drawing data for one line held in this line buffer is stored in the liquid crystal display device 1900. This is the output method.

  The character ROM 4150d stores a very large amount of sprite data and has a large capacity. If the capacity of the character ROM 4150d increases, that is, if the number of sprites drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 increases, the access speed of the character ROM 4150d cannot be ignored, and the drawing speed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is affected. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sprite data stored in the character ROM 4150d is transferred and copied to the character RAM 4150e having a high access speed, and the sprite data is extracted from the character RAM 4150e. The sprite data is base data that is data before the sprite is expanded into a bitmap format, and is stored in the character ROM 4150d in a compressed state.

  Here, the “sprite” will be described. The “sprite” is an image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 as a unit. For example, when displaying various persons on the liquid crystal display device 1900, data for drawing each person is referred to as “sprite”. Thus, when a plurality of persons are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, a plurality of sprites are used. In addition to a person, a house, a mountain, a road, and the like constituting the background are also sprites, and the entire background can be a single sprite. These sprites are drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900 with the position on the screen and the vertical relationship when the sprites overlap (hereinafter referred to as “sprite superposition order”) set.

  Note that the sprite is configured by bonding a plurality of rectangular regions of 64 pixels vertically and horizontally. Data for drawing this rectangular area is called a “character”. In the case of a small sprite, it can be expressed using one character, and in the case of a relatively large sprite such as a person, for example, it is expressed using a total of six characters arranged in 2 × 3 horizontal, for example. be able to. In the case of a larger sprite such as the background, it can be expressed using a larger number of characters. Thus, the number and arrangement of characters can be arbitrarily designated for each sprite.

  The liquid crystal display device 1900 repeats the main scanning in which the display state for each pixel is set in one direction along the pixel and the direction crossing the one direction sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front. It is driven by the sub-scan to be performed. When the drawing data for one line output from the liquid crystal control unit 4150 is input to the liquid crystal display device 1900, the main scanning is performed sequentially from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Output to each pixel. When the output for one line is completed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 shifts to the line immediately below as sub-scanning. Similarly, when drawing data for the next line is input, based on the drawing data for the next line. As main scanning, the data are sequentially output to pixels for one line from left to right as viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display device 1900.

When the first special random number and the second special random number are triggered by the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125, respectively. ) And the execution of the stored first special random number and second special random number is suspended until the special symbol can be changed.

  The main control board 4100 receives the first special random number and the second special random number held by the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 for the start winnings 2101 and 2102. Priority reserved digesting means 4231 for executing (digesting) the second special random number in preference to the timing is provided, and the priority reserved digesting means 4231 relates to the second special random number, that is, the second start port 2102. The lottery result hold is prioritized (digested).

  The main control board 4100 also includes a first special random number (first special lottery result) and a second special random number (second special random number) stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 and the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224. An advantageous gaming state generating means 4232 for generating an advantageous gaming state in which the player is advantageous based on a special lottery result), and an opening / closing member 2107 for closing the special winning opening 2103 based on an instruction from the advantageous gaming state generating means 4232 A special prize opening / closing control means 4234 for controlling the operation of the attacker solenoid 2113 so as to open / close in a predetermined pattern is provided.

  Further, the main control board 4100 has a first special random number or a second special random number (first special symbol variation pattern or second special symbol variation pattern) in which an advantageous gaming state is generated by the advantageous gaming state generation means 4232, A fluctuation pattern table changing means 4236 for changing the first special symbol fluctuation pattern table and the second special symbol fluctuation pattern table is further provided. The variation pattern table changing means 4236 changes, for example, to a variation pattern table (for example, a high probability variation pattern table) in which a variation pattern in which an advantageous gaming state occurs is selected with a higher probability than a normal variation pattern table ( So-called probability variation), changing to a variation pattern table with a shorter variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol than the normal variation pattern table (for example, a time shortening variation pattern table) (so-called time reduction), The probability is changed to a variation pattern table (for example, a probability variation time variation pattern table) having a high probability of occurrence of an advantageous gaming state and a special symbol having a shorter variation time (so-called probability variation / short variation pattern table).

  Further, the main control board 4100 has a normal symbol variation pattern, a first symbol variation pattern, a second symbol variation pattern, and a first special symbol memory according to the normal random number, the first special random number, and the second special random number. Based on the second special symbol memory or the like, a command generation unit 4238 that generates a command for predetermined control such as an effect command, and a command transmission unit 4240 that transmits the command generated by the command generation unit 4238 to the peripheral control unit 4140. And.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the game ball stored in the upper plate 301 of the plate unit 300 is moved to the game panel 1150 when the player rotates the handle device 500 arranged at the lower right of the door frame 5. The game area 1100 is placed in front of the game area 1100, and a game with a game ball is started. A game ball that has been driven into the upper portion of the game area 1100 flows down in the game area 1100 on the left or right side of the center accessory 2500 depending on the strength of the game. It should be noted that the game ball driving strength can be adjusted by the amount of rotation of the handle device 500, and the game ball can be driven harder as it is rotated in the clockwise direction. Further, in the game area 1100, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1150 in a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game balls come into contact with the obstacle nails so that the game balls flow down. The speed is suppressed, and various movements are given to the game ball so that the movements can be enjoyed.

  When the game ball that has been thrown into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters the left side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall portion 2503 of the center accessory 2500, the center ball is centered by a plurality of obstacle nails or inclined upper surfaces of the peripheral wall portion 2503. It is guided to the left area of the accessory 2500. In addition, when a game ball that has been driven into the upper portion of the center accessory 2500 enters the right side of the highest portion of the peripheral wall portion 2503 of the center accessory 2500, the right outer periphery of the center accessory 2500 and the game area 1100 The air enters the guide passage 2142a of the guide passage member 2142 in the attacker unit 2100 through a narrow gap with the inner periphery, and is discharged into the game area 1100 immediately above the gate portion 2105 from the left end opening in front view of the guide passage 2142a.

  When a game ball that has flowed down the right side of the center object 2500 in the game area 1100 is guided to the guide path 2142a and released into the game area 1100, it passes through the gate portion 2105 with a very high probability, and the gate sensor 2126. Will be detected. When the game ball is detected by the gate sensor 2126, the main control board 4100 generates a normal random number as a normal lottery result by the normal random number generation means 4200 based on the detection signal.

  Based on this normal random number, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display 1189 in the function display unit 1180 is variably displayed (for example, the normal symbol display 1189 composed of two red and green LEDs alternately emits light) for a predetermined time ( For example, the normal symbol extracted after the elapse of 0.1 second to 1 second) based on the normal random number (normal lottery result) is stopped and displayed (one of the two LEDs of the normal symbol display 1189 emits light). The In this example, the same variable display is also performed on the normal symbol display board 1191a provided in the second unit 2120 of the attacker unit 2100. The normal symbol fluctuation display is performed based on the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selected from a predetermined normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection table in the normal symbol fluctuation pattern selection means 4204.

  Specifically, if the selected random number is a “normal hit” random number, the normal symbol indicating the winning is stopped (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits green light), and the selected normal random number is a “normal lose” random number. In the case of, stop display is performed with a normal symbol suggesting a loss (the normal symbol indicator 1189 emits red light). Then, when the normal symbol indicating the hit is stopped and displayed, the movable piece 2106 that closes the second start port 2102 moves backward for a predetermined time (for example, between 0.3 seconds and 3 seconds), and the second start port A game ball can be awarded to 2102.

  In this example, since the variation time of the normal symbol is extremely short as compared with the conventional pachinko machine, the game ball that has passed the gate portion 2105 and selected the “normal hit” lottery is The movable piece 2106 is retracted by the start port solenoid 2124 and can be received by the second start port 2102 at the timing of whether or not the movable piece 2106 closing the 2102 is reached. "" Is lottery, it is accepted to the second start port 2102 with a very high probability.

  Then, when the game ball is received by the second starting port 2102 through lottery of the “normal hit” after passing through the gate portion 2104, it is detected by the second starting port sensor 2125, and based on the detection signal of the second starting port sensor 2125. The main control board 4100 transmits a predetermined payout command to the payout control board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 in accordance with the payout command, so that one game ball is obtained. The payout is made to the upper plate 301. That is, in this example, when the game ball performs a driving operation (so-called right-handed) that passes the right side of the center accessory 2500, the gate ball 2104 passes through the gate portion 2104 with a very high probability. If a game ball that has passed through the “normal hit” lottery is drawn into the second start opening 2102 with a very high probability, even a beginner or a player unfamiliar with the game can easily win the second start opening 2102 It is possible to entertain the player.

  By the way, in the pachinko machine 1, as described above, the player can easily win a game ball to the second starting port 2102 by making a right strike. When the amount of game balls to be paid out increases, the burden on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed increases, and there is a risk of hesitation in installing the pachinko machine 1. However, in this pachinko machine 1, since the number of game balls to be paid out by winning the game balls to the second starting port 2102 is one, the lottery of the special lottery result by winning to the second starting port 2102 It is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player, and the pachinko machine 1 can be installed without any problem.

  Further, in this example, when the normal symbol display 1189 displays the fluctuation of the normal symbol and the gate sensor 2126 detects the passing of the game ball, the normal symbol of the fluctuation is stopped and the normal symbol generated and extracted first is stopped. Until the result of the random number is determined, the normal random number (including the normal symbol variation pattern) extracted based on the detection signal from the gate sensor 2126 is temporarily stored in the normal symbol storage holding means 4202 and displayed. The number of stored ordinary random numbers (also referred to as the number of reservations) is displayed on a normal symbol storage display 1188. This normal symbol memory display 1188 is composed of four LEDs, and the number of LEDs to be lit is suggested by the number of each LED to be lit. In this example, up to four are memorized and displayed. ing. When the number of memories exceeds four, the ordinary random number extracted based on the detection signal of the gate sensor 2126 is discarded.

  On the other hand, when a game ball passes through the gate portion 2104 and a “normal lose” is drawn, the movable piece 2106 that is arranged immediately below the gate portion 2105 and closes the second start port 2102 opens the second start port 2102. Since it remains closed, the game ball that has passed through the gate portion 2105 comes into contact with the upper surface of the movable piece 2106 and rolls leftward on the left shelf portion 2122g from the left discharge port 2122f. From the left end of the portion 2122g, the game is released into the game area 1100 below the first start opening 2101 and the general winning opening 2104 and above the large winning opening 2103.

  In addition, the game balls that have been driven into the game area 1100 and have flowed down the left side of the center role 2500 are moved toward the center of the game area 1100 below the center role 2500 by the shelf 2202 of the front side unit 2200. It has become. When a game ball wins a general winning opening 2104 and 2201 arranged below the center accessory 2500 and is detected by the general winning opening sensor 3082, the main control board 4100 performs payout control based on the detection signal. A predetermined payout command is transmitted to the board 4110, and the payout control board 4110 controls the payout motor 744 of the prize ball device 740 according to the payout command, and a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls The tray 301 is paid out.

  If a game ball that has been thrown into the game area 1100 does not win any of the general winning opening 2104, 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, and the big winning opening 2103, It is provided at the lower center in the left-right direction of the region 1100 and is discharged from the out port 1151 to the lower rear side of the game board 4. In addition, regardless of whether the game ball wins the general winning opening 2104, 2201, the first starting opening 2101, the second starting opening 2102, or the big winning opening 2103, the winning game ball is returned to the gaming area 1100. It is discharged to the lower rear side of the game board 4 without being discharged.

  By the way, when the game ball flowing down the left side of the center accessory 2500 enters the warp inlet 2504 opened on the left side surface of the center accessory 2500, it is supplied to the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500. More specifically, the game ball that has entered the warp inlet 2504 is supplied from the warp outlet 2505 to the left end of the first stage 2511 in the stage 2510, and is the lowest part after rolling the first stage 2511 in the left-right direction. Is released forward. Then, the game ball released forward from the first stage 2511 is supplied to the second stage 2512 arranged on the front side and the lower side of the first stage 2511, and most after rolling the second stage 2512 in the left-right direction. From the lowered portion, the gas is discharged back into the game area 1100 above the first start port 2101 in the attacker unit 2100 in front.

  When the game ball rolling on the stage 2510 enters the chance entrance 2513 that is opened to the rear side in the center of the second stage 2512 in the left-right direction, it enters the game area 1100 from the chance exit 2514 that opens just above the first start port 2101. The first start port 2101 is received with high probability. When a game ball is received by the first start port 2101 and detected by the first start port sensor 3081, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls from the prize ball device 740 via the main control board 4100 or the like. Is dispensed to the upper plate 301.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when a game ball is to be awarded to the first start port 2101, a driving operation (so-called left-handed) is performed so that the game ball flows down the left side of the center object 2500. If the player wants to win a game ball at the second starting port 2102, the player may simply perform a driving operation (so-called right-handed) so that the game ball flows down the right side of the center accessory 2500. It is possible to select a game ball driving operation according to interests, moods, etc., and to entertain and reflect the player's feelings.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of this example, when the game ball recirculated and released from the stage 2510 into the game area 1100 flows into the lower right side of the first start port 2101 without being received by the first start port 2101. , There is a possibility of being accepted into the big prize opening 2103. On the other hand, when the game ball recirculated and released from the stage 2510 into the game area 1100 flows into the lower left side of the first start port 2101 without being received by the first start port 2101, the general winning port of the front side unit 2200 2201 may be accepted.

  In the main control board 4100 of the pachinko machine 1 of this example, a game ball wins the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and is detected by the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125. At the first start port 2101, the first special random number generator 4212 generates and extracts a predetermined first special random number. At the second start port 2102, the second special random number generator 4222 generates a predetermined second special random number.・ Each extraction is performed. Then, based on the extracted special random number, it is extracted after the change display of the special symbol displayed on the corresponding first special symbol display 1185 or second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 is started. The special symbol corresponding to the special random number is stopped and displayed as a special lottery result.

  When the special symbol is stopped and displayed in the first special symbol indicator 1185 or the second special symbol indicator 1186 in a manner suggesting “big hit”, the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is opened / closed in a predetermined pattern. A special advantageous gaming state (for example, a big hit game) occurs, and a game ball is awarded to the big prize opening 2103 during that time, so that more game balls can be obtained. When a single game ball wins the big prize opening 2103, a predetermined number (for example, 13) of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 301 from the prize ball device 740.

  Note that, in the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 as well, the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display are displayed in the same manner as the normal symbol variation display due to the passage of the game ball to the gate portion 2105. When the special symbol is variably displayed in the device 1186 or the special symbol such as during the big hit game as the special advantageous gaming state cannot be variably displayed, the game ball is won at the start ports 2101 and 2102 and the first start port sensor When it is detected by 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125, it is extracted based on the detection signals from the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125 until the special symbols can be displayed. The first special random number or the second special random number is stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214 or the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224, and the display is held. And which has become the number of the stored special random numbers, to be displayed in the first special symbol memory indicator 1184 or the second special symbol memory indicator 1187.

  The first special symbol memory display 1184 and the second special symbol memory indicator 1187 are each composed of two LEDs, so that the number of memories is suggested by the combination of the light emission state of each LED that is turned off / on / flashing. In this example, up to four each are stored and displayed. In addition, when the number of memories exceeds four, the extracted special random number is discarded. The second special random number stored (held) in the second special symbol hold storage unit 4224 by the priority hold digesting unit 4231 has priority over the first special random number stored in the first special symbol hold storage unit 4214. Are executed (digested). That is, the lottery result hold related to the second start port 2102 and the third start port 2415 is executed (digested) in preference to the lottery result hold related to the first start port 2101.

  Further, in the main control board 4100, the first special symbol variation pattern selection is performed using the first special random number or the second special random number extracted based on the detection of the first start port sensor 3081 and the second start port sensor 2125. By comparing with a predetermined random number determination table (also referred to as a special symbol variation pattern table) determined in advance by the means 4216 or the second special symbol variation pattern selection unit 4226, the special random number is “lost” or “big hit”. It is also determined whether it is any of the “big hit”, “4R big hit”, “8R big hit”, or “16R big hit”. In addition, the random number determination table is also used to discriminate such as “short hit per probability change”, “probability per hit”, “short hit per hour”, “short per hit during probability change”, and the like.

  When the extracted first special random number or second special random number is “big hit”, the main control board 4100 sets the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 to the predetermined state after the advantageous game state generating means 4232 opens. When the time (for example, about 30 seconds) elapses, or when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls satisfy any of the conditions for winning the prize winning opening 2103, the opening / closing pattern (one) The opening / closing pattern is referred to as one round), and is repeated a predetermined number of times (a predetermined number of rounds). For “4R big hit”, four rounds, for “8R big hit”, for eight rounds, “16R big hit” If so, it is repeated 16 rounds to generate an advantageous gaming state advantageous to the player. After the predetermined number of rounds, for “big hit”, the random number determination table is replaced with a high-probability time / shortness table or the like by the variation pattern table changing means 4236 according to the extracted special random number.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, according to the first special random number or the second special random number extracted in response to the start winning of the game balls at the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 (special lottery result) In addition to the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 of the function display unit 1180 variably displayed, the liquid crystal display device 1900 also corresponds to a special random number (special lottery result). An effect image is displayed. Specifically, in the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the like, the variable display of each symbol row is started in a state where a series of symbol rows consisting of a plurality of different symbols are displayed (for example, three rows), and then sequentially. When the display is stopped and all the symbol sequences are finally stopped, the determination result of the special random number extracted by the combination of the symbols that are stopped and displayed is suggested to the player side. That is, according to the special lottery result by the start winning, an effect image that is stopped and displayed so as to suggest the special lottery result after a plurality of symbol sequences are variably displayed is displayed. Since the symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are larger and easier to see than the special symbols on the first and second special symbol indicators 1185 and 1186, generally, the player is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Pay attention to the design.

  As one of the effect images in which the plurality of symbol sequences are variably displayed, the “reach effect image” is displayed so that the combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed leaving one variable symbol sequence satisfies a specific condition (reach) As a special lottery result on which this “reach effect image” is displayed, there are “per reach” and “reach lose”. There is also a “reach development effect image” that is displayed so as to be connected to the “reach effect image”, and that the remaining symbol sequence that is variably displayed is highlighted after the reach display. That is, the reach effect image and the reach development effect image are images used for performing a reach effect (winning effect) for implying that a big hit may be won, and as a result of these reach effects, a plurality of According to the stop mode displayed when the symbol sequence of fluctuating is stopped, it is shown that the player can recognize whether it is a big hit or lost. The liquid crystal display device 1900 can display not only an effect display related to the start winning prize but also a “hit game effect image” displayed during the “hit” game.

  Note that the special symbol variation display on the first special symbol display 1185 and the second special symbol display 1186 is directly controlled by the main control board 4100 (see FIG. 162). The variation display of symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 or the like is controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 and the liquid crystal control board 4150 based on a command related to the lottery result transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control unit 4140. It has become. As a result, the variable display of the symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that is particularly noticed by the player is controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 or the like. A plurality of symbol variation patterns can be prepared in advance for one command, and the symbol variation patterns in the liquid crystal display device 1900 can be increased. Also, the “big hit game effect image” displayed during the “hit” game is controlled by the peripheral control unit 4140 and the like, and various patterns of effect images are prepared in advance. Thereby, the display pattern of the effect image displayed without increasing the calculation processing load on the main control board 4100 can be increased, and the pachinko machine 1 that makes the player more entertaining and less likely to get bored can be obtained. It has become.

  Further, the peripheral control unit 4140 controls each of the drive motors 3123, 3152, 3159, 3302, 3506, etc. provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000 based on the command related to the lottery result in addition to the control of the effect image. The LED is mounted on the decorative boards 2115, 2118, 2127, 2133, 2521, 2522, 2640, 3020, 3021, 3129, 3130, etc. provided on the game board 4 as appropriate. In addition, the player can be entertained by a movable effect and a light effect.

  In the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the image effect by the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) in the table unit 2000, Combined effects (collaborative effects) using LCD, image effects by the liquid crystal display device 1900, and combined effects using effect units 2550, 2600, 2700, 3100, 3300, 3500 provided in the front unit 2000 and the back unit 3000 The pachinko machine 1 that makes the player more entertaining and hard to get tired of can be made.

[4-1. Example of production]
Subsequently, an effect example (example of collaboration effect) by the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the back side effect unit 3100 in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 163 to 165. FIG. 163 (a) is an explanatory diagram showing the normal state facing the window of the center accessory in a simplified manner, and FIG. 163 (b) shows the back right effect unit and the back left effect unit appearing while rotating the rotating decorative body. And it is explanatory drawing which shows the example of an effect which divides the display screen of a liquid crystal display means into three, (c) is explanatory drawing which shows the state which stopped the rotation decoration body following (b). FIG. 164 is an explanatory diagram showing an effect example in which the display screen of the liquid crystal display means is divided into six regarding the appearance of the back right effect unit and the back left effect unit unlike FIG. Further, FIG. 165 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an effect that appears by changing the rotational position of the rotating decorative body before the back right effect unit and the back left effect unit appear.

  First, in the normal state, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L of the back side effect unit 3100 in the back unit 3000 are located at the retracted positions away from each other. In this state, The right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are located on the left and right outer sides of the window 2501 in the center accessory 2500, respectively. Therefore, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L of the back side effect unit 3100 are invisible from the player side by the center role 2500 and the game panel 1150, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 is displayed through the window portion 2501. Only the display screen is visible from the player side (see FIG. 163 (a)).

  In this state, a game ball that has been driven into the game area 1100 is received into the first start port 2101 or the second start port 2102, and when a predetermined special lottery result is drawn, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left The back side rotation drive motors 3123 of the three rotary decoration body units 3120 provided in the effect unit 3100L are driven, and the three rotary decoration bodies 3126 arranged in the vertical direction are rotated around the axis extending in the vertical direction. It should be noted that the rotation speed at this time is a speed at which the decoration applied to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary decoration 3126 is difficult to recognize.

  The back side right slide drive motor 3152 and the back side left slide drive motor 3159 of the back side slide unit 3150 are rotated in a state where the three rotating decorative bodies 3126 respectively provided in the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are rotated. Are driven, and the back right effect unit 3100R is slid in the left direction in the front view, and the back left effect unit 3100L is slid in the right direction in the front view.

  On the other hand, in the liquid crystal display device 1900, the display screen is divided into upper and lower parts so as to correspond to the rotating decoration bodies 3126 arranged in three rows vertically on the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L, respectively. Display a different image.

  Then, when the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are slid in the direction of approaching each other from the retracted position, from the left and right of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 on which three different images are displayed, A rotating decorative body 3126 appears, and the player's interest can be attracted to the rotating decorative body 3126 and the effect images divided into three parts.

  The back-right effect unit 3100R and the back-left effect unit 3100L are slid to the appearance positions that are closest to each other with the rotating decorative bodies 3126 rotated (see FIG. 163 (a)). In the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L may be slid to the left and right until the appearance position is reached. A sense of urgency can be given to entertain the player.

  Then, when the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L reach the appearance position, the rotating decorative body 3126 that is rotating is stopped. When stopping the rotation of each rotating decorative body 3126, the decoration corresponding to the lottery special lottery result is applied to the decorations such as the four patterns and symbols applied to the outer periphery of the rotating decorative body 3126. It stops so that the surface to face the player side (see FIG. 163 (c)). Thereby, the combination of decorations displayed by a plurality (six in this case) of rotating ornaments 3126 suggests to the player the result of the lottery that has been drawn and enhances the player's expectation of the game. Can be done.

  In this effect, there are a pattern in which a plurality of rotating decorative bodies 3126 that are rotating are stopped simultaneously and a pattern in which the rotation is sequentially stopped according to a special lottery result. In addition, during this effect, the LED of the rotating decorative body decoration board 3129 emits light as appropriate.

  In addition, as an effect using the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the back side effect unit 3100, an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 in the above effect as shown in FIG. On the other hand, it is also possible to perform an effect of dividing into six parts so as to correspond to each separately. In this effect, while each rotating decoration body 3126 is rotated, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are slid to the appearance position, and the display screen is divided into six parts corresponding to each rotating decoration body 3126. And display different images (see FIG. 164 (a)).

  Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L arrived at the appearance position, the rotating decorative bodies 3126 that are rotating are sequentially stopped (see FIG. 164 (b)). ). The rotation decoration body 3126 that stops the rotation is such that when all the rotation decoration bodies 3126 are stopped from rotating, the combination of the decorations facing the player side becomes a combination corresponding to the lottery special lottery result. Then, the respective rotary decoration bodies 3126 are stopped sequentially.

  Thereafter, when the rotation of all the rotating decorations 3126 stops, the combination of the decorations that stop at the rotating decorations 3126 and face the player side suggests a special lottery result that is drawn for the player, and the player This makes it possible to increase the expectation of the game (see FIG. 164 (c)).

  In this effect, in a state where all the rotating decoration bodies 3126 are rotated with the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L as the appearance positions, each of the lights is circulated around the six effect images. There is a pattern in which the LEDs of the rotating decorative body decoration board 3129 provided in the rotating decorative body unit 3120 emit light sequentially. In addition, there is a pattern in which the light emitting decoration of the rotating decorative body 3126 for stopping the rotation is blinked, or the LED of the back side decorative board 3130 disposed beside the rotating decorative body 3126 is made to emit light. Further, there is a pattern in which the rotating decoration body 3126 is decorated with light emission in colors according to the colors of the images divided into six and displayed respectively.

  Furthermore, as an effect using the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the back side effect unit 3100, a normal state in which the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are positioned in the retracted position (see FIG. 165 (a)), That is, in a state where the rotating decoration body 3126 cannot be visually recognized from the player side, the rotation decoration body 3126 is rotated, and the surface on which the specific decoration according to the lottery special lottery result is given faces the player side. Rotate to stop. In this state, the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L are slid to the appearance positions, respectively, and the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L appear and can be seen from the player side. The decoration of the rotating decoration body 3126 (see FIGS. 165 (b1) and (b2)) suggests the player the special lottery result, thereby increasing the player's expectation for the game.

  Thus, every time the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L (a plurality of rotation decoration bodies 3126) appear, the decoration of the rotation decoration body 3126 seen from the player side is different (FIG. 165 (b1)). , (See (b2)), the player can be excited by the decoration of the back right effect unit 3100R and the back left effect unit 3100L, which makes the player more enjoyable and less interesting. Can be suppressed.

[5. Control processing of main control board]
Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 4100 (particularly the main control MPU 4100a) will be described. FIG. 166 (a) is a flowchart showing a procedure of control processing performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 166 (a), the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment first stores various registers and RAMs as processing in step S1 on the condition that the RAM clear switch 4100c is operated. Initialize the stored data. The RAM clear switch 4100c is provided on the back side of the pachinko machine 1, and cannot be operated unless the main body frame 3 is opened. Further, the RAM clear switch 4100c outputs a clear signal to the main control board 4100 in response to an operation before a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) has elapsed since the power is turned on. When it is determined that there is, initialization processing (step S1) is executed to initialize various registers and data stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a.

  Although not shown, in this example, when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a backup process for storing information (for example, various flags) indicating the progress of the game in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is executed. If the RAM clear switch 4100c is not operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the information stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is referred to in the backup process without executing the initialization process (step S1). Then, a restoration process for restoring the state according to the information is executed. Further, when the RAM clear switch 4100c is operated when the power to the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the initialization process is executed without executing the recovery process to set the pachinko machine 1 to the initial state.

  Next, as a process in step S2, a random number that is a number to be updated within a predetermined numerical range is updated. That is, in the main control board 4100 according to this embodiment, special random numbers (first special random number, second special random number) used for the lottery process for the display mode when the variable symbol display is stopped, and the special symbols. Reach by the variable random number used for the lottery process for a predetermined time (variation time) required for the variable display control of the display, the decorative symbol variable display executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900 in response to the special symbol variable display (Left decorative design and right decorative design are stopped in the same design and the middle decorative design is not yet stopped, or the left, middle and right decorative designs are all displayed in the same design. Reach random numbers used in lottery processing for determining whether or not to win, symbol random numbers used in lottery processing to determine the type of jackpot when it is determined that the jackpot is based on the special random number ( One symbol random number, the second symbol random number), and a random number counter for storing random numbers such like, random numbers to be subjected (usually random) in accordance lottery processing operation triggered become per the Toraku of the movable piece 2105.

  In this example, a common reach random number is used for the first special symbol and the second special symbol, that is, even when the first starting port 2101 is won for starting, the second starting port 2102 is won for starting. Even if it is configured, the reach random number is acquired from the same counter that updates the reach random number, but the reach ratio of the reach effect is obtained by acquiring from the counter in which the random number range for updating the reach random number is different. The reach determination table to be compared with the acquired reach random number may correspond to the first reach determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol, and is different from the first reach determination table. You may make it vary the execution ratio of reach production by providing the 2nd reach determination table in which a determination value is set.

  In the process of step S2, the counter operation of the random number counter is performed in such a manner that only the random numbers (variable random numbers) not related to the winning of these random numbers are updated. Note that after the processes of steps S1 and S2 are performed in this way, only the process of step S2 is basically repeated. However, in this embodiment, the following timer interrupt control is performed every 4 ms, for example.

  FIG. 166 (b) is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for timer interrupt control periodically performed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100.

  As shown in FIG. 166 (b), in this interrupt control, a register saving process is first performed as the process of step S11. Next, in step S12, detection signals from various switches such as the gate sensor 2126, the first start port sensor 3081, the second start port sensor 2125, the count sensor 2114, the general winning port sensor 3082, and the like are received. Entered. Next, as a process in step S13, a random number update process for updating the value of the random number counter that generates the random number is performed. In the process of step S13, among the above random numbers, the random number of the random number counter is updated in such a manner that the random number (special random number, normal random number) related to the display mode at the time of the variable display stop of the special symbol and the normal symbol is updated. Counter operation is performed.

  Then, after the random number is updated in this way, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 includes, as the process of step S14, a special symbol process process including a lottery process related to the display mode when the variable symbol variable display is stopped. Execute. This special symbol process will be described later, but here, basically, a special symbol process flag (first special symbol process flag, first flag indicating the progress of the game stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a). The corresponding processing is selectively executed based on the two special symbol process flags).

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a normal symbol process process including a lottery process related to a win as an operation trigger of the movable piece 2106 as the process of step S15. Even in this normal symbol process, basically, the corresponding process is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag indicating the progress of the game. Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 has a higher driving frequency of the movable piece 2106 during the period until the big hit again after the big hit gaming state (excluding a part of the 4R big hit gaming state). In this way, the lottery process is executed (so-called short-time state). In this embodiment, the winning probability of the normal symbol is increased until the big hit is again after the jackpot gaming state is finished, the time required for the variable symbol variable display control is shortened, and the normal symbol lottery is selected. When the result is successful, such a short time state is realized by extending the opening time of the movable piece 2106.

  When the special symbol process (step S14) and the normal symbol process (step S15) are performed, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 then performs the special symbol process as step S16. Then, processing for transmitting a command set in a predetermined area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a to the peripheral control board 4010 or the like is performed. Next, as a process of step S17, a process of transmitting a command set in the predetermined area of the RAM in the normal symbol process process to the peripheral control board 4010 or the like is performed.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 performs an information output process for outputting data such as hit information (15R big hit, 10R big hit) supplied to the hall management computer, for example, as the process of step S18. .

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 detects the first start port sensor 3081, the second start port sensor 2125, the count sensor 2114, the general winning award port sensor 3082, etc. as the process of step S19. When the signals are in the ON state, a payout control command is output to the payout control board 4110 so that a prize ball corresponding to the signals is paid out to the player. As a result, the payout control MPU 4111a mounted on the payout control board 4110 outputs a drive signal from the payout motor drive circuit 4111d to the payout motor 744 so as to pay out a prize ball to the player.

  Further, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 executes a storage process for checking increase / decrease in the start memory number as a process of step S20. Next, as a process of step S21, a test terminal process that is a process of outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the pachinko machine 1 to be confirmed outside the gaming machine is executed. After that, the drive control of the actuator that operates constantly is performed (step S22), the contents of the register are restored (step S23), and the control is terminated when the interrupt permission state is set (step S24). It becomes.

  With the above control, in this embodiment, the game control process is started every 4 ms. In this embodiment, the game control process is executed by an interrupt process by a timer. However, in the interrupt process, for example, only a flag indicating that an interrupt has occurred may be set. However, in this case, the game control process is executed in the main process.

  FIG. 167 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the special symbol process (step S14).

  Now, assuming that random numbers used for various lottery processes have been updated (step S13), as shown in FIG. 167, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 is first controlled by the first start port sensor 3081. On condition that the detection signal is in the on state (the ball enters the first start port 2101) (step S31), the first special random number of the first special symbol is acquired from the random number counter and is obtained from the RAM number. A first start port passing process such as storing in one special symbol holding storage area is executed (step S32). Further, on condition that the detection signal from the second start port sensor 2125 is in an ON state (the ball enters the second start port 2102) (step S33), the second special random number of the second special symbol is set to the random number. A second start port passage process is performed such as obtaining from the counter and storing it in the second special symbol holding storage area of the RAM (step S34).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a big hit execution flag indicating that control is in the big hit gaming state is set (step S35). If the big hit execution flag is set, the big hit gaming state is controlled. A big hit control process (step S39) is executed. In the big hit control process, the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable display of the special symbol (first special symbol, second special symbol) is stopped is “4R latent probability variation big hit (specific 1)”, “4R probability variation big hit. (Specific 2) ”and“ 4R normal big hit (non-specific) ”are suggested. According to the 4R big hit gaming state, the winning prize opening 2103 is controlled to be opened, and“ 8R probability variable big win (specific 4) "is controlled in accordance with the 8R big hit gaming state, the big winning opening 2103 is controlled to be opened, and" 16R sudden probability change big hit (specific 3) "," 16R positive change big hit (specific 5) ) ”Is executed, a process of controlling the big winning opening 2103 to the open state is executed according to the 16R big hit gaming state of short-time opening or long-time opening.

  If the big hit execution flag is not set, the value of the second special hold number counter indicating the number of second special random numbers stored in the second special symbol hold storage area is “0”. (Step S36), the first special symbol process including the lottery processing relating to the display mode when the variable display of the first special symbol is stopped is executed (Step S37), and the second special symbol is stored in the second special symbol 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 S36), the second special symbol including the lottery process relating to the display mode when the variable display of the second special symbol is stopped. Process processing is executed (step S38). Thus, in this example, when the value of the second special reserved number counter is not “0”, the variable display of the second special symbol is preferentially executed.

  FIG. 168 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first start port passage process (step S32).

  If it is determined in the process of step S31 that the first start port sensor 3081 is in an on state and a game ball has entered the first start port 2101, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first obtains the counter value by the first special reservation number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S41. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved special symbols is the maximum value “4”.

  In the process of step S41, if it is determined that the number of the first special symbol hold is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the first special symbol on hold. The processing of S42 to S44 will be performed. That is, first, as the processing of step S42, the first special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing of step S43, the first special random number, the reach random number, the first symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S44, each random number thus obtained is used as the first special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the first special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 4100a. To store.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S41 that the number of the first special symbol hold is the maximum value, the variable display control of the first special symbol is not newly held. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S42 to S44, the first special symbol variation display control is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 169 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second start port passage process (step S34).

  If it is determined in the process of step S33 that the second start port sensor 2125 is in an ON state and a game ball has entered the second start port 2102, as shown in FIG. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first acquires the counter value by the second special hold number counter from the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a as the process of step S51. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the above-mentioned number of reserved second special symbols is the maximum value “4”.

  In the process of step S51, if it is determined that the second special symbol hold count is not the maximum value, the following steps are performed to newly put the variable display control of the second special symbol on hold. The processing of S52 to S54 will be performed. That is, first, as the process of step S52, the second special reservation number counter is incremented (added by 1). Next, as the processing in step S53, the second special random number, the reach random number, the second symbol random number, and the variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, as the processing of step S54, the second special symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the second special reserved number counter in the RAM storage area of the main control MPU 4100a is used as the processing in step S54. To store.

  However, if it is determined in the process of step S51 that the second special symbol hold count is the maximum value, the variable display control of the second special symbol is not newly held. That is, by ending the process without executing the processes of steps S52 to S54, the second special symbol variable display control is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 170 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol process (step S38). The first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process and the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process are the same program modules, and are random numbers used for the determination. Since only the table is different, only the first special symbol process executed in step S38 of the special symbol process will be described here. In the first special symbol process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed in accordance with the first special symbol process flag.

1. A first special random number stored in the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is read, and a lottery process for a display mode at the time of stopping the variable control of the first special symbol is performed based on the read first special random number. Symbol normal processing (step S80)
2. First special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81) in which, for example, a determination process of a mode at the time of variable control stop of the first special symbol is performed based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the variable control of the first special symbol is stopped )
3. A lottery process for the variation mode of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 based on the variable random number, and the variation mode of the effect display executed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 corresponding to the special symbol. First variation pattern setting process (step S82)
4). First special symbol variation process that waits until the first special symbol variation display on the first special symbol indicator 1185 is stopped (step S83).
5). The first special symbol indicator 1185 displays the first special symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the display mode when the first special symbol variable control stop. First special symbol stop process for stopping the variable display of the first special symbol (step S84)

  The first special symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the first special symbol normal processing (step S80) should be performed in the processing of step S1 described above (see FIG. 166).

  FIG. 171 is a flowchart showing a procedure for the first special symbol normal process (step S80).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol normal process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 171, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S101. As a process of, it is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the first special symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the first special hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the first special symbol that is in the hold state, then in step S102, it is stored in the first special symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a. The random number stored in the earliest storage area among the random numbers (for example, the first special random number, the first symbol random number, the reach random number, and the variable random number) related to the display mode of the first special symbol being read is read from the same RAM. . Then, as the processing of steps S103 and S104, the first special reserved number counter is counted down, and the first special symbol reserved storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stored in each storage area. 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 symbol display is stopped is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the first special symbol holding storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4 and stores the random numbers extracted in response to the occurrence of the start winning prize in order from the first (first) area. Then, if a starting prize occurs when random numbers are stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area, the extracted random numbers are stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. When the variable display start condition based on the random number stored in the storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read out and stored in the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area. Various random numbers are moved to the (N−1) th (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 can be stored in an identifiable manner, and the suspension of the variable display control is released in order from the earliest suspension (the suspension that occurred first). become.

  And after that, as a process of step S105, based on the read first special random number of the first special symbol, a big hit determination process which is a lottery process for the big win is performed. Thereafter, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing (step S81) (step S106), the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 172 is a flowchart showing a procedure for the jackpot determination process (step S105).

  If the current gaming state is a high probability state (high probability short time state, high probability non-short time state) (step S111), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 has a high probability state shown in FIG. A jackpot determination table is selected (step S112). If the current gaming state is a low probability state (step S111), the jackpot determination table at the low probability shown in FIG. 206A is selected (step S113) and selected. The big hit determination table is compared with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S114).

  The jackpot determination table shown in FIG. 173 (A) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a, and when the gaming state is low probability (normal state (low probability non-short state) and short state (low probability short state)). And a jackpot determination table for a high probability used when the gaming state is a high probability (a high probability non-short-time state, a high-probability short-time state). Then, in the jackpot determination table at the low probability, the six types of first special random numbers coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot has been won, and the 2393 types of first special random numbers are determined to be out of place. The first special random numbers are associated with each other so as to match the values. Note that, in the second special symbol process executed in step S39 of the special symbol process, the low probability jackpot determination table referred to for comparison with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number. In the same manner as the jackpot determination table at the low probability referred to, the two types of second special random numbers coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that the jackpot is won, and 2393 types of second special random numbers are out of the above. The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the loss determination value indicating that the

  Moreover, in the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability, 60 types of first special random numbers including the same first special random number as the first special random number set in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability coincide with the jackpot determination value, The first special random numbers are associated with each other so that 2339 types of first special random numbers coincide with the loss judgment value. As described above, in this embodiment, in the high probability state (high probability short-time state, high probability non-short time state), the big hit determination value indicating that the big hit is won is a low probability (normal state (low probability non-short time state) ) And time-short state (low probability time-short state)). In the second special symbol process performed in step S39 of the special symbol process, the high probability jackpot determination table referred to compare with the second special random number is compared with the first special random number. 60 kinds of second special random numbers including the second special random number that is the same as the second special random number set in the jackpot determination table at the time of low probability, like the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability referred to The second special random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the jackpot determination value indicating that it has been won and to match the loss determination values indicating that the 2339 types of second special random numbers are out of place.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected jackpot determination table with the first special random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process and determines that it is a jackpot (step S115). ), The big hit flag indicating that the fluctuation is won by the big win is set and the process is terminated (step S116), and the first special read out in step S102 of the selected big hit determination table and the first special symbol normal process As a result of the comparison with the random number, when it is determined that they are out of place, the reach determination table shown in FIG. 173 (B) is compared with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S117).

  The reach determination table shown in FIG. 173 (B) is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a, and the probability change used when the gaming state is a probability change (high probability state (high probability non-short time state, high probability short time state)). Time reach determination table, and a normal reach determination table used when the game state is normal (normal state). In the reach determination table at the time of probability change, the reach random numbers are not matched with the reach determination values indicating that all 239 types of reach random numbers are reached, and are not matched with the reach determination values indicating not reach. Each is associated. As described above, at the time of probability change (high probability state), since it is not determined that the reach is lost when it is determined that the reach is lost, the reach flag described later is not set and the reach effect is executed. There is no. For this reason, when a reach is formed at the time of probability change and a reach effect is executed, it can be recognized that it will be a big hit at that time, and the reach effect can be enjoyed with peace of mind.

  Further, in the normal reach determination table, the reach random number matches the reach determination value indicating that the 7 types of reach random numbers reach, and the reach determination value indicates that the 232 types of reach random numbers do not reach. Are associated with each other. As described above, the reach determination value indicating the reach is provided in the normal time (normal state), unlike the probability change time (high probability state). For this reason, even if the reach is formed at the normal time and the reach effect is executed, it is not possible to recognize whether or not it is a big hit until all the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed.

  When the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected reach determination table with the reach random number read in step S102 (step S117) and determines that the reach is shifted (step S118), the change A reach flag indicating that becomes reach is set, and the process ends (step S119).

  FIG. 174 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process (step S81).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop symbol setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 174, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 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 jackpot determination process (step S105) is determined. The lottery processing result is determined by determining whether or not the big hit flag is set (step S121).

  If the big hit flag is set in step S121, the main control MPU 4100a compares the first symbol random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process with the symbol determination table shown in FIG. 173 (C). (Step S122) The type of jackpot is determined, and the mode at the time of variable control stop of the first special symbol corresponding to the determined jackpot type (stop symbol of the first special symbol) is determined (Step S123).

  As shown in FIG. 173 (C), the symbol determination table includes each determination result (specific 1 4R latent probability variation per unit, specific 2 4R probability variation per unit, specific 3 16R sudden probability variation per unit, specific 4 8R probability variation per unit, Symbol random numbers (first symbol random numbers, second symbol random numbers) are stored in association with specific 5 16R probability variation big hits and non-specific 4R normal big hits. The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines the type of jackpot by specifying the determination result associated with the acquired symbol random number. In the symbol determination table of this example, the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the first symbol random number is set different from the jackpot type determination probability determined based on the second symbol random number. ing.

In particular,
1.4R big hit gaming state (open / close pattern for opening / closing the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is repeated four times (four rounds)), and after the 4R big hit gaming state ends, the high probability non-short time In the liquid crystal display device 1900, it is controlled to a specific 1R 4R latent probability variation big hit 2.4R big hit game state for executing a game effect that is difficult to determine whether the liquid crystal display device 1900 is in a high probability state or not. After the end of the big hit game state, the specific 2R probability variable big hit is controlled to the high probability short-time state again until the big hit is reached. ) Repeat) is controlled in such a way that the game ball is difficult to enter, and after the 16R big hit game state is finished, the big hit again The specific 3R 16R sudden probability change big hit is controlled to the high probability short time state 4.8R big hit gaming state (opening / closing pattern for opening and closing the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is repeated 8 times (8 rounds)) After the end of the big hit gaming state, the high probability short-time state is controlled until the big hit is reached again. 4. Specific 8R probability variable big hit 5.16R The big hit gaming state is controlled, and after the 16R big hit gaming state ends, the high 16R probability variable jackpot of 5 controlled to the probability short-time state 6.4R jackpot gaming state is controlled, and after the 4R jackpot gaming state is finished, the low-probability non-short-time state (normal state) is controlled. Non-specific 4R normal jackpots that execute game effects that are difficult to determine whether or not the device 1900 is in a high probability state, and six types of jackpots Decide on one of the jackpots.

  In this example, a symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol and a symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol are provided. And in the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, the determination value allocation is set differently compared to the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, and the determination ratio of each jackpot is different. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 173 (C), in the symbol determination table corresponding to the first special symbol, the specific 1 4R latent probability variation hit, the specific 2 4R probability variation big hit, the specific 3 16R sudden probability variation big hit, In the symbol determination table corresponding to the second special symbol, the specific 1 4R latent probability variable big hit is specified in the symbol determination table corresponding to the special 4R probability big hit and non-specific 4R normal big hit. Determination value distribution is set for 5 16R probability variation big hit and non-specific 4R normal big hit.

  In this example, specific 1, 2, 4 to 6 and non-specific and specific 3 are the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round in the big hit gaming state (the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is controlled to open). Different times). Specifically, in the case of specific 1, 2, 4 to 6 and non-specific, it is controlled to a long open state in which the opening time of the big winning opening 2103 per round is 30 seconds, In the case of a specific 3R sudden probability change big hit, the open time of the big winning opening 2103 per round is controlled to a short open state that is 0.05 seconds that is extremely shorter than the long open state. In this way, when the specific 3 16R sudden probability change big hit is reached, the opening time of the large winning opening 2103 per round is too short, and the opening control of the opening / closing member 2107 of the attacker unit 2100 is recognized. Even so, it is difficult to win a game ball in the big winning opening 2103. In other words, during the control of the short open state in the big hit game state, the game ball rarely wins the large winning opening 2103, and unlike in the control of the long open state, a large number of game balls are expected to be acquired. I can't.

  Further, when the type of jackpot is determined, the stop symbol corresponding to the type of jackpot is determined as the mode when the first special symbol is stopped. Specifically, when the 4R latent probability variation jackpot of the specific 1 is determined, the 4R latency probability variation jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined, and when the 4R probability variation jackpot of the specific 2 is determined, 4R of the first special symbol is determined. If it is determined to be a probable big hit symbol, and if it is determined to be a specific 3 16R sudden probability variable big hit, it will be decided to be a 16R sudden probability variable big hit symbol of the first special symbol, and if it is determined to be a specific 4 8R probability variable big hit, the first special symbol The 8R probability variable jackpot symbol is determined, and if it is determined to be a non-specific 4R normal jackpot, the 4R normal jackpot symbol of the first special symbol is determined. On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not set in step S121, the first special symbol is determined to be the off symbol as a mode when the first special symbol is stopped (step S124).

  Then, after the stop symbol determination process is performed in this way, as the process of step S125, these lottery results (specify the type of jackpot, reach losing or losing are indicated (the stop symbol pattern of the first special symbol The determination result notification command corresponding to each lottery result is set so that it may be transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010. After that, when the first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) as the process of step S126, this process is terminated. The peripheral control MPU 4140a controls the display of the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the received determination result notification command and variation pattern command.

  Specifically, the peripheral control MPU 4140a identifies the specified 2R probability variation big hit among the big hits from the received determination result notification command as the mode (stop symbol) when the change of the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is stopped. In this case, the 4R probability variation big hit symbol (the combination of odd and identical decorative symbols of “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”) is determined, and the specific 4R 8R probability variation big hit is identified among the big hits. In this case, the 8R probability variation big hit symbol ("1", "3", "5", a combination of odd and identical decorative symbols of "7", common with 4R probability variation big hit symbol) is determined, and a specific 5 16R probability variation big hit symbol is determined. Is specified, it is determined to be 16R probability variation jackpot symbol ("1", "3", "5", "7" odd combination of same decorative symbols. Common to 4R probability variation jackpot symbol and 8R probability variation jackpot symbol) And variation pattern command The determined stop symbols at the time lapse of the variation time specified (when the game effects termination) controls display on the liquid crystal display device 1900. As described above, when the combination of the same odd number of “1”, “3”, “5”, and “7” as the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops changing, the decorative symbols are stopped. From 4 to 2R probability change big hit, 4 to 4R probability change big hit, and 5 to 16R probability change big hit can not be determined, but high after 4R big hit gaming state, 8R big hit gaming state or 16R big hit gaming state It can be determined that the control is in the probability state. Until the effect result in the 4R big hit gaming state is derived, it is not possible to determine whether or not the 8R big hit gaming state or the 16R big hit gaming state is continuously controlled after the 4R big hit gaming state ends.

  Further, the peripheral control MPU 4140a specifies a specific 1R 4R latent probability variation big hit out of the big hits from the received judgment result notification command as a mode (stop symbol) when the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 are stopped. Is determined to be a 4R latent probability variable big hit symbol (a combination of the same decorative symbols of even numbers “2”, “4”, “6”), and if a non-specific 4R normal big hit is specified among the big hits, 4R normal Big hit symbol (“2”, “4”, “6” combination of the same decorative symbols of the even number. Common with 4R latency probability variable big hit symbol) and when the variation time specified by the variation pattern command has elapsed (game) At the end of the production), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. As described above, when the combination of the same decorative symbols of “2”, “4”, and “6” as the decorative symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops variably, a specific one is determined from the stopped symbols of the decorative symbols. It is difficult to determine whether the 4R latency probability big hit or the non-specific 4R normal big hit, and it is difficult to determine whether or not the liquid crystal display device 1400 is in a high probability state even after the 4R big hit gaming state ends. Since the effect is executed, it is not possible to determine whether or not to control to the high probability state after the end of the big hit gaming state.

  Further, the peripheral control MPU 4140a specifies the specific 3R 16R sudden probability change big hit from the big hits from the received determination result notification command as the stop mode of the decoration symbols displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Is determined to be a 16R sudden probability variation big hit symbol (predetermined combination of decorative symbols out of symbols (specifically, a combination of decorative symbols of “357”), and is specified from the variation pattern command. When the variable time has elapsed (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. As described above, when the combination of the decorative symbol “357” as the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 stops variably, it is determined whether the 16R sudden probability variation big hit is specified 3 from the decorative symbol stop symbol. It is possible to determine to control to the high probability state after the end of the big hit game state (16R big hit game state in a mode in which a game ball is difficult to enter).

  In addition, the peripheral control MPU 4140a, as an aspect at the time of stopping the variation of the decorative symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 (stop symbol), if the reach error is specified from the received determination result notification command, the symbol with loss is included. (The combination of decorative designs that are not the same. However, the left and right decorative designs are the same.) If the outlier is specified, it is a detachable design that does not involve reach (a combination of decorative designs that are not the same. Are determined to be non-identical), and when the variation time specified from the variation pattern command has elapsed (at the end of the game effect), the determined stop symbol is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900.

  FIG. 175 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first variation pattern setting process (step S82).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first variation pattern setting process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 175, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets the jackpot flag. If so (step S141), the type of jackpot determined in step S123 of the first special symbol stop symbol setting process and a variation pattern table (not shown) at the time of jackpot according to the current gaming state are selected (step S141). If the reach flag is set (step S143), a reach variation pattern table (not shown) corresponding to the current gaming state is selected (step S144), and both the big hit flag and the reach flag are selected. If it is not set, that is, it will be a normal off-line (a non-reach effect is not executed) To selects the off time of the fluctuation pattern table (not shown) (step S145).

  Then, the variation pattern to be executed is determined by comparing the selected variation pattern table with the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process (step S146), and the determined variation pattern is started. The variation pattern command to be notified to the control board 4010 is set, and the variation display of the first special symbol displayed on the first special symbol display 1185 is started (step S147). In addition, the main control MPU 4100a sets the variation time set corresponding to the variation pattern determined to determine the variation pattern in the variation timer (step S149). As a result, the effect control is performed in the first special symbol display 1185 and the liquid crystal display device 1900 for the variation time thus determined.

  A plurality of types of variation pattern tables are provided 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). The variation patterns set in each variation pattern table include a plurality of variation time information indicating predetermined times (variation times) required for variation display control of the special symbols (first special symbol, second special symbol). Each variable random number is stored in association with each other. Therefore, the main control MPU 4100a selects the variation pattern table selected from the plurality of types of variation pattern tables corresponding to the determination result based on the special random number and the design random number, and the variation random number read in step S102 of the first special symbol normal process. And the fluctuation time information associated with the read fluctuation random number is obtained from this table, thereby determining the fluctuation 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 4100a.

  Further, the variation pattern table at the time of reach in this example is set so as to determine the type of reach effect to be executed by comparing a determination value indicating which reach effect is to be executed with a variable random number. . For example, among the reach effects, the super reach effect (for example, equivalent to the SP1 type and SP2 type winning effects in FIG. 185 described later) is more than the normal reach effect (for example, equivalent to the normal effect winning effects in FIG. 185 described later). When the big hit expectation degree is high and the super reach production is executed, the player's expectation degree for the big hit gaming state is increased.

  When the first special symbol variation display control is started, the first special symbol process flag is set so that the process proceeds to the first special symbol variation process (step S83) as the process of step S149. At the time of updating, this process is terminated.

  In this example, the variation time information of one kind of special symbol set to about 1 second in the variation pattern table at the time reduction is associated with all of the special symbol random numbers (first special symbol, second special symbol). In the form, a special pattern variation pattern is set. On the other hand, in the non-temporal variation pattern table, the variation of the special symbol in the form that the variation time information of multiple types of special symbols set in the range of 10 to 120 seconds is associated with each of the special symbol random numbers. A pattern is set. That is, in the fluctuation pattern table at the time reduction, the special symbol fluctuation time information is set so that the time required for the fluctuation display control of the special symbol is shortened to about 1 second as compared with the non-time reduction fluctuation pattern table. ing.

  FIG. 176 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the first special symbol variation process (step S83).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol variation process is to be performed, as shown in FIG. As the process, 1 is subtracted from the variation timer in which the variation time corresponding to the variation pattern determined in the lottery process (step S82) for the variation pattern is set. If it is determined that the variation time timer is 0, that is, the lottery variation time has elapsed (step S172), the process proceeds to step S173. That is, in the process of step S173, when the above-described first special symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the first special symbol stop process (step S84), this process is terminated.

  FIG. 177 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the first special symbol stop process (step S84).

  When the first special symbol process flag indicates that the first special symbol stop process should be performed, as shown in FIG. 177, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first performs step S181. As the processing, display control for causing the first special symbol display 1185 to display the stop symbol determined in the first special symbol stop symbol setting processing is performed, and the liquid crystal display device 1900 has the first special symbol. A stop display command for instructing the derivation display of the display result of the decorative symbol corresponding to the stop symbol is set as a command to the peripheral control board 4010 (step S182).

  Next, when the big hit flag is set (step S186), the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 sets a big hit start command indicating that the big hit gaming state is started (step S187). The waiting time until the start of the state (the time for displaying the effect of starting the big hit gaming state) is set in the interval timer (step S188). Then, the big hit running flag indicating that the big hit gaming state is being executed is set and the time-short flag is reset (step S189), and the first special symbol process flag is set to the first special symbol normal process which is the initial value. When the process is updated so as to be transferred (step S190), this process is terminated. The jackpot start command is a command transmitted to the peripheral control board 4010, and is a jackpot type (4R latent probability variation per unit, 4R probability variation per unit, 16R sudden variation per unit, 8R probability variation per unit, 16R probability variation per unit, 4R normal variation per unit). It is prepared individually for each. In step S187, a big hit start command (4R latent probability variation big hit command, 4R latent probability variation big hit, 4R probability variation big hit, 16R sudden probability variation big hit, 8R probability variation big hit, 16R probability variation big hit, 4R normal big hit per 4R normal probability big hit) Big hit start command, 16R sudden probability change big hit start command, 8R probability change big hit start command, 16R probability change big hit start command, 4R normal big hit start command). Thereby, the effect of the big hit gaming state according to the type of the big hit instructed by the big hit start command is executed by the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED and the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like.

  FIG. 178 is a flowchart showing the procedure for the normal symbol process (step S15).

  If it is determined in step S801 that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2126 is in an on state and a game ball has passed to the gate unit 2105, the main signal is displayed as shown in FIG. In step S802, the main control MPU 4100a of the control board 4100 first executes a gate section passing process such as acquiring a normal random number of normal symbols from the random number counter and storing it in the normal symbol holding storage area of the RAM. To do.

  Next, in the normal symbol process, one of the following five process processes is selectively executed according to the normal symbol process flag.

1. Normal symbol normal processing in which a normal random number stored in the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a is read out, and a lottery process is performed for the display mode when the variation control of the normal symbol is stopped based on the read normal random number (step S803).
2. Normal symbol variation time determination processing (step S804) in which a lottery process or the like is performed on the variation pattern (variation time) of the ordinary symbol displayed on the ordinary symbol display 1189 based on the ordinary symbol random number.
3. Normal symbol variation process that waits until the variation display of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display 1189 is stopped (step S805).
4). The normal symbol variation display so that the normal symbol variation control stop mode determined based on the result of the lottery process for the normal symbol variation control stop mode is displayed on the normal symbol display unit 1189. Normal symbol stop processing to stop the game (step S806)
5). When the result of the lottery process for the mode when the variable control of the normal symbol is stopped is a mode that suggests “per normal map”, the movable piece 2106 moves backward and accepts the game ball to the second start port 2102. Ordinary electric accessory release process for executing the process to be controlled (step S807)

  The normal symbol process flag is operated to indicate that the normal symbol normal process (step S803) should be performed in the process of step S1 (see FIG. 166).

  FIG. 179 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the gate section passage processing (step S802).

  Now, in the process of step S801, if it is determined that the detection signal from the gate sensor 2126 is in an on state and a game ball has passed to the gate unit 2105, as shown in FIG. In step S811, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 first obtains the counter value by the above-mentioned normal hold number counter from the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a. Then, based on this counter value, it is determined whether or not the number of ordinary symbols held is “4” which is the maximum value.

  In the process of step S811, if it is determined that the number of normal symbols held is not the maximum value, the following steps S812 to S814 are performed to newly put the normal symbol variable display control on hold. Processing will be performed. That is, first, as the processing of step S812, the normal holding number counter is incremented (added by 1). In step S813, the normal random number and the normal variable random number are acquired from the random number counter. Then, in step S814, each random number obtained in this way is stored in the normal symbol reserved storage area corresponding to the counter value by the normal reserved number counter in the storage area of the RAM 4100e of the main control MPU 4100a.

  However, when it is determined in the process of step S811 that the number of normal symbols held is the maximum value, the normal symbol variation display control is not newly held. That is, by not executing the processes of steps S812 to S814, the normal symbol variation display control is not newly put on hold.

  FIG. 180 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the normal symbol normal process (step S803).

  When the normal symbol process flag indicates that the normal symbol normal process is to be performed, as shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state based on the counter value by the normal hold number counter. As a result, if it is determined that there is a variable display control of the normal symbol in the hold state, the normal symbol stored in the normal symbol hold storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is then processed as step S822. The random number stored in the earliest storage area among the random numbers related to the symbol display mode (for example, ordinary random numbers, ordinary variable random numbers) is read from the RAM. Then, as the processing of steps S823 and S824, the normal reserved number counter is counted down, and the normal symbol variation display stored in each storage area of the RAM of the main control MPU 4100a is stopped. The random number (ordinary random number, ordinary variable random number) related to the display mode is shifted in a first-in first-out (First-In First-Out) mode.

  Specifically, the normal symbol holding storage area has four storage areas 1 to 4, and the random numbers extracted in accordance with the passage of the game ball to the gate unit 2105 are sequentially from the first (first) area. Remember. When a random number is stored in the nth (n = 1 to 3) storage area and the game ball passes through the gate unit 2105, the extracted random number is stored in the n + 1th (n = 1 to 3) storage area. When the start condition of the variable display based on the random number stored in the first storage area is satisfied, various random numbers stored in the first storage area are read and the Nth (N = 2 to 4) storage area Are moved to the (N-1) th (N = 2 to 4) th storage area. Thereby, the order in which the suspension of the variable symbol display control of the normal symbol occurs can be stored in an identifiable manner, and the suspension of the variable symbol control can be released in order from the earliest suspension (the first occurrence). .

  Next, the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 determines that the current game state is a short time state (low probability short time state, high probability short time state) (step S826). ) Is selected (step S826), and if the current gaming state is a non-time-short state (low probability non-time-short state, high probability non-time-short state) (step S825), a non-time-short normal figure determination table (not shown) ) Is selected (step S827), and the selected normal symbol determination table is compared with the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal process (step S828).

  In addition, the normal figure hit determination table is stored in the ROM 4100d of the main control MPU 4100a and is used when the gaming state is short time (low probability short time state and high probability short time state), And a non-time-saving usual time per-judgment determination table used when the gaming state is non-time-saving (low-probability non-time-short state, high-probability non-time-short state). Then, in the hourly common figure judgment table referred to for comparison with the ordinary random number, all the 251 kinds of ordinary random numbers coincide with the common figure judgment value indicating that the common figure is won. The ordinary random numbers are associated with each other so that they do not coincide with the usual deviation judgment value indicating that they are off. As described above, when the game ball is passed to the gate portion 2105, the winning piece is always won by the normal time, and the movable piece 2106 is moved backward to accept the game ball to the second starting port 2102. It is possible to control.

  In addition, in the non-time-saving common figure determination table referred to for comparison with the ordinary random numbers, all the 251 types of ordinary random numbers may coincide with the common figure determination values indicating that each common figure is won. The normal random numbers are associated with each other so as to coincide with the misplacement determination value indicating the misplacement. As described above, even when the game ball passes to the gate portion 2105 at the non-time saving time, the movable piece 2106 is retracted and moved to the second starting port 2102 because it is not won per hit. It is not possible to control the acceptance of the game balls.

  The main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100 compares the selected universal symbol determination table with the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal process, and determines that the normal symbol is per unit (step S829). ) After setting the flag for the normal symbol indicating that the variation is won for the normal symbol (step S830), the normal symbol per symbol as the mode when the fluctuation control of the normal symbol is stopped (the normal symbol is stopped) The symbol is determined (step S831). On the other hand, if the result of comparison between the selected regular symbol determination table and the normal random number read in step S822 of the normal symbol normal processing is that it is determined to be out of place, the variation of the normal symbol A non-standard symbol as a mode at the time of control stop (ordinary symbol stop symbol) is determined (step S832). After that, when the above-described normal symbol process flag is updated so that the process shifts to the normal symbol variation time determination process (step S804) (step S833), this process ends.

[6. Peripheral control board control processing]
Next, processing executed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 will be described. FIG. 181 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure for the control performed by the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 when the pachinko machine 1 is powered on.

  As shown in FIG. 181, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs an initial setting process (step S501). In the initial setting process, a process of clearing the RAM of the peripheral control MPU 4140a mounted on the peripheral control board 4010 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S501) ends, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S502).

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 4140a generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 ms elapses. While the flag T is set, a 16 ms progress monitoring counter is reset (set to 0). In this way, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S503), and then the 16 ms steady process is performed (step S504).

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process for controlling the liquid crystal display device 1900, the lamp / LED, the speakers 130, 222, 262, and the like based on a command received from the main control board 4100 is executed. When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S502 again, and the above-described steps S503 to S504 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, if the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S502 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), the loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 182 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes the processes of step S601 to step S606. In the command analysis process of step S601, the peripheral control MPU 4140a analyzes a command (for example, an effect command) received from the main control board 4100, and, according to the analysis result, a plurality of types of flags stored in the peripheral control RAM 4140e. Among them, the flag corresponding to the command is set.

In the effect control process of step S602, a control process related to the liquid crystal display device 1900 is executed based on the command received from the main control board 4100. The command received from the main control board 4100 is, for example, a variation pattern setting process (step S147 of the first variation pattern setting process, a process corresponding to the first variation pattern setting process of the second special symbol process process (second variation pattern setting). Fluctuation pattern command transmitted by being set in the process)), start port passing process (steps S45 and S47 of the first start port passing process, steps S55 and S57 of the second start port passing process) This is a hold number designation command, a random number designation command, or the like transmitted by. In the peripheral control unit 4140 of the peripheral control board 4010, the peripheral control ROM 4140b has an “effect pattern” as a display effect pattern performed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 in association with each change pattern based on the change pattern command. Each is remembered. In the effect control process in step S602, the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines an effect pattern corresponding to the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern command, and causes the liquid crystal display MPU 4150a to execute a display effect based on the effect pattern on the liquid crystal display device 1900. . Detailed processing of the effect control processing will be described later.

  In the sound control process in step S603, control processes related to the speakers 130, 222, 262 and the like are executed. In the lamp control process of step S604, a control process related to lamps / LEDs provided in the pachinko machine 1 is executed. In the information output process in step S605, a process of transmitting a lamp / LED lighting signal to the lamp driving substrate 3013 is executed. In the random number update process in step S606, a process of updating random numbers (for example, pre-read random numbers) used for various settings in the effect control process (step S602) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S601-step S606 in a 16ms regular process is complete | finished within 16 ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady process to the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is immediately executed from the beginning when the 16 ms has elapsed since the start of the 16 ms steady process (command of step S601). Do not execute (from analysis process). That is, when 16 ms elapses during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapse flag is set, and when it is determined in step S502 that the 16 ms elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms steady process is performed. To start.

  In this embodiment, the random number update process (step S606) is executed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers. However, the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop processing in the sub-main processing and the 16 ms steady processing.

  Below, the detailed process of an effect control process (step S602 of FIG. 182) is demonstrated. FIG. 183 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect control process. As shown in FIG. 183, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes one of steps S1210, S1220, and S1230 with reference to the value of the process selection flag indicating the progress state of the game. The process selection flag is held in, for example, the peripheral control RAM 4140e.

  In the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210) executed when the process selection flag is “0”, a setting for starting the decorative symbol variation display is performed if a variation pattern command is received. Specifically, the stop symbol of the decorative symbol is determined according to the variation pattern command and the big hit command, and the notice effect is set. Here, the jackpot command is one of the commands received from the main control board 4100 by the peripheral control MPU 4140a in step S601 of FIG. 182, and is a command indicating that the lottery result of the special symbol is a jackpot. The received jackpot command is analyzed for the jackpot information indicated by the command by the command analysis processing in step S601.

  In the decorative symbol variation process (step S1220) executed when the processing selection flag is “1”, the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the variation stop command related to the special symbol variation stop from the main control board 4100, and the liquid crystal controller 4150 ( In particular, a display command is transmitted to the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a) to perform control to stop the decorative symbol variation display.

  In the jackpot display process (step S1230) executed when the process selection flag is “2”, the peripheral control MPU 4140a displays the liquid crystal display via the liquid crystal control unit 4150 in accordance with the jackpot start command transmitted from the main control board 4100. Control is performed to cause the device 1900 to display the start of the big hit gaming state and the display during the big hit gaming state (for example, round display).

  FIG. 184 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the decorative symbol variation start process. As shown in FIG. 184, first, the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines whether or not the fluctuation pattern reception flag is set (step S1211). The variation pattern reception flag is a flag that is set in the command analysis process (step S601) described above and indicates that a variation pattern command has been received from the main control board 4100. The variation pattern reception flag is held in, for example, the peripheral control RAM 4140e. If the variation pattern reception flag is not set in step S1211, the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines that the variation pattern command has not been received and ends the processing.

  When the variation pattern reception flag is set in step S1211, the peripheral control MPU 4140a resets the variation pattern reception flag (step S1212), and the variation pattern based on the received variation pattern command generates a big hit ( It is determined whether or not it is a hit pattern) (step S1213).

  If the variation pattern is a hit pattern in step S1213 (YES in step S1213), the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines a stop symbol of a decorative symbol that forms a jackpot symbol array that suggests a big hit based on the variation pattern ( Step S1214). If the variation pattern is not a winning pattern in step S1213 (NO in step S1213), the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines the stop symbol of the decorative symbol that forms the loss symbol array that suggests the loss based on the variation pattern. (Step S1215).

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the decorative symbol is a symbol displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. The decorative symbol varies with the variation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. Is stopped and displayed in a mode corresponding to the stop mode. That is, when the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result is a win (big hit), the change pattern command indicating the change pattern of the win pattern is sent from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4010 (peripheral control unit 4140, peripheral When the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped and displayed in a winning manner, the decorative symbol is also stopped and displayed with a stop symbol that forms a jackpot symbol arrangement. Also, when the first special lottery result or the second special lottery result is “out of” which is not a win (big hit), a change pattern command indicating a change pattern which is not a win pattern is sent from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4010 ( Peripheral control unit 4140 and peripheral control MPU 4140a) are transmitted to the peripheral control unit 4140a), and the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped and displayed in the off mode, and the decorative symbol is also stopped and displayed with the stop symbol forming the off symbol pattern arrangement. .

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU 4140a executes a notice selection process for determining whether or not to perform a notice effect based on the notice determination random number (step S1216), and an effect pattern (details will be described later) based on the variation pattern. The effect time (variation time) determined based on the variation time of the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol), the notice pattern stored in the notice type storage area, and decided in steps S1214 and S1215 The display command corresponding to the stop symbol of the decoration symbol is set. Note that in the case of a pachinko machine that does not include a notice effect, the notice selection process in step S1216 is not necessary, and in the processes after step S1217, information processing related to the notice effect (for example, input / output to the notice type storage area) is performed. Processing) becomes unnecessary. Thereafter, the peripheral control MPU 4140a updates the process selection flag to “1” (step S1218) and ends the process.

  Note that the display command set in step S1217 is transmitted to the liquid crystal control unit 4150 in the information output process (step S605 in FIG. 182). Based on the received display command, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a of the liquid crystal control unit 4150 starts the variable display of decorative symbols on the liquid crystal display device 1900. When the peripheral control MPU 4140a receives the effect stop command from the main control board 4100, the peripheral control MPU 4140a transmits the effect stop command to the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a of the liquid crystal control unit 4150, and the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a is based on the received effect stop command. The change display of is terminated.

  In addition, when the notice pattern stored in the notice type storage area is read in step S1217, after reading the notice pattern, the contents of the notice type storage area are cleared to thereby change the next decoration pattern. At the time of display, it is possible to prevent the notice effect based on the notice pattern determined when starting the variable display of the previous decorative symbol from being erroneously executed.

[6-1. Production pattern including winning production]
Next, the “effect pattern based on the variation pattern” described in step S1217 of FIG. 184 will be described in detail. The “effect pattern” is determined by the peripheral control MPU 4140a of the peripheral control board 4010 based on the change pattern (special pattern) determined by the main control board 4100. In other words, the “decoration pattern change pattern” It is. The effect pattern (decoration pattern variation pattern) is determined from a plurality of types of effect patterns stored in advance in the peripheral control ROM 4140b or the like. Such an effect pattern includes a variation pattern that can execute a display effect including a winning effect (an effect pattern that includes a winning effect) and a variation pattern that can execute a display effect that does not include a winning effect (an effect pattern that does not include a winning effect). ) Strictly speaking, the winning effect includes an effect that forms a reach state and an effect that suggests whether or not it will be a big hit (post-reach effect). This is called (reach production).

  Then, the peripheral control MPU 4140a advances the effect according to the effect content indicated by the determined effect pattern. In this case, for example, the peripheral control MPU 4140a outputs a sound from the speakers 121 and 391 by outputting a control signal (sound command) to the sound source IC 4140c, and outputs a drive command to the motor drive board 3013a. The liquid crystal display device 1900 displays an image by operating and outputting a display command to the liquid crystal control unit 4150 (liquid crystal control MPU 4150a). Below, the effect pattern containing a winning effect is demonstrated in detail among such an effect pattern.

  FIG. 185 is a diagram for explaining the distribution of the effect pattern including the winning effect. The effect pattern (decorative pattern variation pattern) is determined based on the special symbol variation pattern. If the effect pattern thus determined is an effect pattern including a winning effect (reach effect), the winning effect is displayed. An effect pattern to be executed is selected from among the plurality of effect patterns that are present (substantially, there is no problem even if it is read as a winning effect to be executed). FIG. 185 exemplifies distribution of selection of an effect pattern including such a winning effect, and distribution of the effect pattern used when the variation time is “60 seconds” as the variation pattern of the special symbol. The effect time (decoration time of the decorative design) of each winning effect shown in FIG. 185 is 60 seconds or less. When the distribution table shown in FIG. 185 is used, it is assumed that a big hit is won with a probability of 50% (reliability 50%). In other words, when the distribution table shown in FIG. 185 is used, half (50%) of the special lottery (first special lottery or second special lottery) result is a big hit, and the special symbol (first The variation time of the special symbol or the second special symbol is “60 seconds”. Note that the allocation of the winning effect shown in FIG. 185 is an example for simple explanation, and does not limit the type and type of the winning effect in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment. The setting contents of each distribution are stored in advance in the peripheral control ROM 4140b and the peripheral control MPU 4140a can read them out as necessary.

  The pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment stores a game result in the peripheral control RAM 4140e or the like when an effect pattern including a specific winning effect is selected and executed, and the decorative symbol comes off and stops in the symbol array due to the winning effect. However, in the subsequent game, it is possible to change the distribution of the selection of the effect pattern including the winning effect among the plurality of effect patterns. Specific contents regarding the distribution variation will be described with reference to FIG. An effect pattern including a “predetermined winning effect” is an effect pattern in which the “predetermined winning effect” is executed, and selecting and determining such an effect pattern is substantially equivalent to a “predetermined winning effect”. Is equivalent to selecting and determining. Therefore, in the following description, for the sake of simplicity, “winning effect” may be described instead of “the effect pattern including the winning effect”.

  First, “type” in FIG. 185 is a type that roughly divides the winning effect, and “normal”, “SP1”, and “SP2” are provided as an example. The winning effects included in “SP1” and “SP2” generally correspond to the winning effects called “super reach”, and it is a big hit than when the “normal” type winning effects appear. Is expected to have a relatively high degree of expectation (reliability). In FIG. 185, as an example, the types are roughly classified based on the contents of the effect of the winning effect. In the winning effect of the “SP1” type, the effect of the aspect in which the story progresses proceeds, It is displayed in such a manner that it can be recognized whether it is out of place. In addition, in the “SP2” type winning effect, as an example, the effect in the battle format progresses and is displayed in a manner in which it is possible to recognize whether it is a big hit or not depending on the progress result. In addition, the winning effect that is different from “SP1” and “SP2” is the “normal” type. Although details will be described later, the allocation of the winning effect in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment is based on the appearance status of the winning effect (which winning effect has been selected and executed, and further, the winning effect is connected to the big hit. The distribution contents are changed by accumulating “war history” according to whether or not, etc.), but “initial setting” (corresponding to war history P) before receiving the change due to war history accumulation , It is assumed that the degree of expectation (reliability) for the jackpot for each type is set higher in the order of “normal”, “SP1”, and then “SP2”. The contents of the effect of the winning effect described in FIG. 185 will be described with a specific example in the next section.

  “Production name” in FIG. 185 is a name example of each winning production. For example, “normal” and “long” are described in the production names included in the “normal” type, and “story A”, “story B”, and “story C” are included in the production names included in the “SP1” type. And “Battle A”, “Battle B”, and “Battle C” are described in the effect names included in the “SP2” type. “A” to “C” in “SP1” and “SP2” distinguish characters and scenes displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 when each winning effect is executed.

  In addition, “war history” in FIG. 185 is a category indicating a combination of winning effect allocations, and which battle history allocation is used is selected based on the appearance status of the winning effect as the game progresses. Is done. Referring specifically to FIG. 185 for the allocation of the winning effect, for example, when “war history P” is used, the peripheral control is performed based on the fact that the fluctuation pattern command indicating the fluctuation pattern of the off-line pattern is received from the main control board 4100. The winning effect determined by the MPU 4140a is that the “normal” winning effect (normal reach) is selected in 30 of the denominator 100 (ie, 30%), and the “long” winning effect is selected in 14 (14%). An effect (long reach) is selected, and a winning effect (story A reach) of “Story A” is selected with 20 allocations (20%). Of all the winning effects, the most likely to be selected in the case of the outlier pattern is normal reach, and the most difficult to select is the winning effect (battle C reach) of “Battle C”. On the other hand, when “war history P” is used, the winning effect determined by the peripheral control MPU 4140a based on the fact that the variation pattern command indicating the variation pattern of the winning pattern is received from the main control board 4100 is one of the denominators 100. “Normal” win production (normal reach) is selected in the distribution (1%), “long” win production (long reach) is selected in the 3 distribution (3%), and 3 distributions (3%) ) “Story A” winning performance (story A reach) is selected. Among all winning effects, the winning effect (Battle C reach) of “Battle C” is most easily selected in the case of a winning pattern.

  In FIG. 185, for each battle history, at least a part of the allocation of the winning effect selected at the time of winning (big hit) is set differently. Here, as an example, the combination of allocation as the initial setting of the pachinko machine 1 is “war history P”, and “war history Q”, and further “war history” based on the execution of a specific winning effect that stops at the outlier symbol arrangement. It is assumed that the selection destination shifts to “R”. Specifically, when the winning effect of “Battle A” is selected at the time of “out of” (that is, when the out-of-balance Battle A reach appears) It is assumed that the selection destination shifts in the order of “war history Q” and further “war history R”, and after the selection destination becomes “war history R”, the selection destination is not changed from “war history R” until a win is won. To do. Hereinafter, what kind of effect pattern is selected when FIG. 185 is used in accordance with such a battle history transition condition will be described.

  First, in the case of “war history P”, which is the selection destination of distribution in the initial setting, the ratio of the battle A reach being selected among the offending effect patterns is 12%, and the battle among the winning effect patterns is The rate at which A reach is selected is 8%. The liquid crystal display device 1900 displays (appears) the battle A reach in response to the display command based on the selected winning effect (including the effect pattern). In the case of the effect pattern that is a winning pattern, the decorative symbol stops variably in the big hit mode. Here, when the distribution table of FIG. 185 is used, the winning expectation degree of big hit is assumed to be 50%, so the loss and win are selected on a one-to-one basis. At this time, the expectation degree (reliability) for the big hit when the battle A reach appears in the battle history P can be obtained by a calculation formula of (8 / (8 + 12)) × 100, and the value is 40.0. %.

  When the battle A reach is selected in the battle history P, the peripheral control MPU 4140a did not win the big hit by a specific winning effect (in this case, the battle A reach) (in other words, the specification of the loss) If the winning effect has been recorded) and the predetermined condition is satisfied (in the example of the latter stage, when the flag value of the effect result storage flag is “1”), the winning in subsequent games is recorded. Change the selection destination of the production to “History Q”.

  Here, as a method of “recording a battle history” for recording that a big win was not won by a specific winning effect, for example, a predetermined flag (effect result storage flag) is held in the peripheral control RAM 4140e, and the peripheral control MPU 4140a is stored. May update (add) the flag value. The update timing of the flag value with respect to the effect result storage flag is not limited to when the battle A reach is selected. For example, the display effect by the battle A reach appears on the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the decorative design is out of the manner. It may be a stop timing, a stop timing of a special symbol in the game, or the like. In any case, the peripheral control MPU 4140a determines the selection destination of the allocation in accordance with the flag value of the effect result storage flag that is rewritten based on the appearance of a specific winning effect (out of battle A reach). For example, when the flag value of the effect result storage flag is “0”, the battle history P is selected, and when the flag value is updated (added) to “1”, the battle history Q is selected. Then, when the flag value is updated (added) to “2”, the strategy R may be selected. Further, the information stored at the time of “recording the battle history” is limited to a form such as a flag (effect result storage flag) whose value is changed based on the fact that the predetermined condition is satisfied as described above. is not. For example, a command or data that can specify a reach pattern corresponding to a specific winning effect may be stored, and the storage destination is not limited to the storage medium of the peripheral control board 4010. You may make it memorize | store over 4100 storage media, storage media, such as another board | substrate, or those plurality.

  In this example, information related to “record of battle history” is stored in the peripheral control RAM 4140e by the peripheral control MPU 4140a, but when information related to “record of battle history” is managed by the peripheral control board 4010 in this way. Since the peripheral control MPU 4140a can select the decoration pattern effect pattern based on the “record of battle history” under the condition that it is within the variation time of the special symbol indicated in the variation pattern of the special symbol, Various effects can be selected that do not correspond one-to-one with the variation pattern. As another example, when information related to “record of battle history” is managed by the main control board 4100, the main control MPU 4100a selects a variation pattern of a special symbol based on “record of battle history”. It is also possible to change the variation time of the special symbol based on the “record of battle history”. Thus, for example, if the variation time of the special symbol is shortened, the time required for one game digestion is shortened, so that it is possible to improve the number of revolutions per unit time and increase the game efficiency. Further, for example, if the variation time of the special symbol is extended, it is possible to reduce the non-rotation period in which the symbol is not variably displayed. Therefore, it is possible to expect an effect of extending the period during the game and making it difficult for the game to occur.

  In “war history Q”, compared with “war history P”, a part of the allocation in the winning production pattern is changed. In FIG. 185, the portion where the distribution increases from the battle history before the transition is indicated by a mesh, and the portion where the distribution decreases from the battle history before the transition is indicated by a hatched line. Specifically, among the SP1 category winning effects, the story A reach allocation decreased by 2 from “3” to “1” and the story B reach allocation decreased by 2 from “5” to “3”. , Story C reach allocation is reduced by 5 from “10” to “5”. In total, the allocation of winning effects (story A to C) for the entire SP1 type is “9” in strategy Q, but “9”, although it was “18” in battle history P. On the other hand, among the SP2 type winning effects, the distribution of the battle A reach is increased by 9 from “8” to “17”, and the allocation of the winning effects (battles A to C) of the entire SP2 type is “ “78” becomes “87” and increases by 9.

Further, when the distribution based on “war history Q” is compared with the case of “war history P” according to the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big hit when each winning effect appears, it is as follows. The reliability regarding each winning effect can be calculated based on the selection rate (allocation) in the outlier mode and the selection rate (allocation) in the hit mode, similarly to the reliability of the battle A reach described above.
First, in battle history P,
The reliability of Story A reach is 13.0% (3/23 × 100)
The reliability of Story B reach is 33.3% (5/15 × 100)
The reliability of Story C reach is 62.5% (10/16 × 100)
The reliability of the entire SP1 type is 33.3% (18 / (18 + 36) × 100).
In the battle history P,
The reliability of Battle A reach is 40.0% (8/20 × 100),
The reliability of Battle B reach is 80.0% (20/25 × 100),
The reliability of Battle C reach is 94.3% (50/53 × 100)
The reliability of the entire SP2 type is 79.6% (78 / (78 + 20) × 100).
On the other hand, in battle history Q,
The reliability of Story A reach is 4.8% (1/21 × 100)
Story B reach is 23.1% reliable (3/13 × 100)
The reliability of Story C reach is 45.5% (5/11 × 100)
The reliability of the entire SP1 type is 20.0% (9 / (9 + 36) × 100).
In the battle history Q,
The reliability of Battle A reach is 58.6% (17/29 × 100),
The reliability of Battle B reach is 80.0% (20/25 × 100),
The reliability of Battle C reach is 94.3% (50/53 × 100)
The reliability of the entire SP2 type is 81.3% (87 / (87 + 20) × 100).
That is, in the “war history Q”, compared to the “war history P”, the SP1 type winning effect (story A to C) and the reliability of the entire type are lowered, while the SP2 type specific winning effect (battle A) ) And the reliability of the whole type is improved. In addition, the reliability of winning effects (battle B, C) other than a specific winning effect among the SP2 types does not change.

  Next, when the battle A reach is selected in the battle history Q, the peripheral control MPU 4140a did not win the big hit by the specific winning effect (in this case, the battle A reach) as in the battle history P. This is recorded in the peripheral control RAM 4140e (effect result storage flag). When the flag value of the effect result storage flag is updated (added) from “1” to “2” by this process, the peripheral control MPU 4140a sets the selection destination of the winning effect allocation in the subsequent game as “war history R”. Change to

  In “war history R”, a part of the allocation in the winning effect pattern is further changed from “war history Q”. Of the SP1 type of winning effects, the story A reach allocation remains “1”, but the story B reach allocation has decreased by 2 from “3” to “1”, and the story C reach allocation is Decrease by 4 from “5” to “1”. In total, the allocation of winning effects (story A to C) for the entire SP1 type is “9” in the battle history P, but becomes “3” in the strategy Q and decreases by 6. On the other hand, among the SP2 type winning effects, the distribution of the battle A reach is increased from “17” to “23” by 6, and the allocation of the SP2 type winning effects (battles A to C) is “ “87” becomes “93” and increases by 9.

Further, in the distribution of “war history R”, the expectation degree (reliability) for the big hit when each winning effect appears is as follows.
The reliability of Story A reach is 4.8% (1/21 × 100)
The reliability of Story B reach is 9.1% (1/11 × 100)
The reliability of Story C reach is 14.3% (1/7 x 100)
The reliability of the entire SP1 type is 7.7% (3 / (3 + 36) × 100).
The reliability of Battle A reach is 65.7% (23/35 × 100),
The reliability of Battle B reach is 80.0% (20/25 × 100),
The reliability of Battle C reach is 94.3% (50/53 × 100)
The reliability of the entire SP2 type is 82.3% (93 / (93 + 20) × 100).
That is, in the “war history R”, compared to the “war history Q”, the SP1 type winning effect (story B, C) and the reliability of the whole type are lowered, while the SP2 type specific winning effect (battle A). And the reliability of the whole type is improved. In addition, the reliability of winning effects (battle B, C) other than a specific winning effect among the SP2 types does not change.

  According to such a distribution table, a combination of distributions is changed based on the fact that a specific winning effect (Battle A reach) appears without being a big hit (out of line), and after that change In the game, at least some of the winning effects other than the specific winning effect (other winning effects: stories A to C) can be kept low while the specific winning effect is the winning pattern. More distributions can be selected. Even if the battle history of the selection destination shifts, the distribution of the allocation selected by the off-line pattern is not changed. As a result, the expectation level (reliability) for the big hit when the “other winning effects” with a low distribution appear in the game after the combination (war history) of the distribution is changed is On the other hand, the reliability when a specific winning effect appears can be made higher than the reliability before the change.

  In addition, when the selection destination of the allocation combination (war history) shifts to a plurality of stages, the allocation change as described above is performed every time the selection destination shifts. It is possible to further increase the distribution of the effects selected by the hit pattern, and to further increase the expectation for the big hit when a specific winning effect appears.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an effect pattern including a specific winning effect is selected and executed, and when the decorative symbol is detached and stops in the symbol array due to the winning effect, the peripheral control MPU 4140a performs the peripheral control RAM 4140e. For example, the “record of battle history” is stored to store the game result, and the player is informed of information related to the winning effect stored in the “record of battle history” (teaching of battle history). The teaching of the battle history is realized, for example, by displaying a predetermined image or the like that suggests that the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a has shifted in a specific winning effect in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900 in accordance with an instruction from the peripheral control MPU 4140a. Is done. Then, the player is taught that the degree of expectation for the big hit of the winning effect related to the taught content is improved by teaching the battle history. Specifically, for example, when the battle history is taught in a manner that suggests the character “A” corresponding to the battle A reach (corresponding to a teaching area 1900a shown in FIG. 188 described later), the character “A” is strengthened. (A power-up of the character) is shown, and the player who sees this can recognize that the expectation level of the big hit is high for the battle A reach which is the winning effect relating to the character “A”. That is, by teaching the battle history related to Battle A, the player can recognize that the character “A” is powering up, and expect a big hit when Battle A reach appears in subsequent games. Teach easy situations. In order to supplement the recognition of the situation where the character “A” is powered up, a character such as “Character A being powered up” may be displayed.

  The image data and the like used for teaching the battle history is stored in, for example, the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b and the character ROM 4150d in the liquid crystal control unit 4150. When the battle history is taught, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a (or VDP 4150c) Appropriate image data is read out and drawn on the liquid crystal display device 1900. A specific example of the teaching of the battle history will be described again in the next section. When a specific winning effect appears in the gaming situation in which such teaching is performed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, the player will Since it can be recognized that the reliability of the winning effect is higher than the conventional (for example, initial setting), the expectation for the big hit can be further increased, and the improvement of the interest can be expected.

  In addition, when the above-described battle history is taught on the liquid crystal display device 1900, in addition to a winning effect with relatively high reliability such as Battle B reach and Battle C reach, a specific winning effect ( Even if (battle A reach) occurs, the reliability becomes high, so that the player has more expectation for the occurrence of the reach state. Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it can be expected that the player's expectation regarding the game progress is improved, and in the situation where the game history is taught, there is no need to end the game. It can also be expected to raise feelings and increase willingness to continue playing.

  The “specific winning effect” used in the above description is a winning effect (or may be read as an effect pattern including the winning effect) in which the distribution of the distribution can be increased in accordance with the transition of the battle history. For example, it is predetermined in the design stage. In the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the “specific winning effect” may be a plurality of types of winning effects. Specifically, in FIG. 185, “war history P” to “war history R” focusing only on “battle A reach” are illustrated as specific win effects, but in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, “specific win” “Direction” is not limited to one type of winning effect (or an effect pattern including a winning effect). For example, when the battle A reach and the battle B reach are set as “specific winning effects”, the combination of the transition of the battle history regarding the battle A and the transition of the battle history regarding the battle B is combined. Forms can be devised. Then, in the transition of the battle history regarding the battle B, similarly to the transition of the battle history regarding the battle A, the allocation of the stories A to C in the hit pattern may be decreased to increase the battle B in the hit pattern. At this time, the teaching that the character A corresponding to the battle A and the character B corresponding to the battle B are powered up is performed as the teaching of the battle history. FIGS. 186 to 188, which will be described later, show screen examples when the battle history shifts in each of the battles A to C reach. In addition, the “specific winning effect” is not limited to the SP2 type battle reach, and the distribution of the hit pattern that is reduced as the battle history shifts is not limited to the SP1 type story reach. .

  Furthermore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of types of winning effects are set in advance as candidates for “specific winning effects”, and “specific winning effects” are selected from the target candidates according to the player's wishes. May be specified. As a specific operation of such designation, for example, an input screen can be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 in accordance with a predetermined operation of the player, and the player has performed an operation on the input screen. Decide on a “specific winning performance”. As an internal process, a distribution table for managing a change in distribution regarding the transition of the battle history related to each winning effect of the target candidate is stored in the peripheral control ROM 4140b in advance, and the peripheral control MPU 4140a is selected by the player's operation. The distribution table used for selection of the winning effect may be determined based on the “specific winning effect”.

[6-2. Example of winning performance]
Here, with respect to the winning effect described in FIG. 185, the contents of the effect will be described for each type of winning effect with reference to FIGS. 186 to 188. The effects illustrated in the drawings are executed according to the effect pattern selected by the peripheral control MPU 4140a, and the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a displays on the liquid crystal display device 1900 based on the effect pattern.

  FIG. 186 is a diagram for explaining transition of the effect image when the normal type winning effect is executed. FIGS. 186 (A) to 186 (D) schematically show effect images in the liquid crystal display device 1900, respectively. In FIG. 186 (A), teaching areas 1900a, 1900b, and 1900c are areas in which information about the winning effect of the losing where the battle history is recorded is shown. Specifically, for example, the teaching area 1900a is an area for teaching (suggesting) that a battle history record regarding the battle A has been recorded based on the fact that the battle A reach has appeared out of place. Based on the record of the battle history by reach, for example, an image that emits light in a predetermined color is displayed on the background of the letter “A”. Similarly, the teaching area 1900b is an area for teaching (suggesting) that a battle history related to the battle B has been recorded based on the appearance of the battle B reach out of place, and the teaching area 1900c is a battle C This is an area for teaching (suggesting) that the record of the battle history related to the battle C has been performed based on the fact that the reach has come off, and the letters “B” and “C” are the same as in the teaching area 1900a. An image that emits light in a predetermined color can be displayed on the background. In FIGS. 186 (A) to 186 (D), it is assumed that the teaching areas 1900a to 1900c are not particularly displayed with light emission, and specific light emission colors will be described later with reference to FIG.

  An image display area 1900d shown in FIG. 186 (A) is an area in which a decorative symbol pattern row, a winning effect image, and the like are displayed. For example, the arrow shown in the image display area 1900d means a decorative pattern that is changing. In FIG. 186 (A), three arrows are shown in the image display area 1900d. The decorative design is changing in each row.

  A character display area 1900e shown in FIG. 186 (B) is an area in which characters, symbols, and the like can be displayed in the image display area 1900d, and predetermined characters and the like are displayed according to the production status. For example, in FIG. 186 (B), as shown in the image display area 1900d as “7, arrow, 7”, the decorative symbol in the left and right columns stops at the symbol “7”, and the decorative symbol in the middle column fluctuates. Since it is in the middle state, a reach state is formed. At this time, the character “reach!” Is displayed in the character display area 1900e, so that the player can be surely notified of the formation of the reach state.

  186 (A) to (D) and FIGS. 187 (A) to (E) and 188 (A) to (E) described later, teaching areas 1900a to 1900c, image display area 1900d, and character display Those denoted with the same symbols as those of the region 1900e indicate the same region, and the description thereof is omitted.

  When the reach state is formed as shown in FIG. 186 (B), an effect screen of a normal type of winning effect (normal reach or long reach) is displayed. Specifically, the decorative symbol in the middle row that is changing is stopped at any symbol after the lapse of a predetermined time, and the game result by the winning effect is displayed. When the game result is a win (big hit), since the effect pattern including the winning effect of the winning pattern is selected by the peripheral control MPU 4140a, the effect result corresponding to the effect pattern is shown in FIG. 186 (C). In this way, the same symbols (in this case, “7” symbols) as the decorative symbols in the left and right columns that have formed the reach state are stopped. As a result, the player can recognize from the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that the game has won a big hit. It should be noted that depending on the display rules for the jackpot symbol in the pachinko machine 1, it is not necessary to be limited to the same symbol set. For example, a specific symbol indicating a jackpot may be stopped. When the big win is won as shown in FIG. 186 (C), the big hit game is started after the special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) in the game is stopped.

  When the game result is out of order, an effect pattern including a winning effect of the out-of-pattern is selected by the peripheral control MPU 4140a, and as an effect result corresponding to the effect pattern, as shown in FIG. 186 (D). In addition, the symbols (here, “2” symbols) different from the left and right rows of decorative symbols that have formed the reach state are stopped. As a result, the player can recognize from the effect result displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that he / she could not win a big win in this game. When the big win is not won as shown in FIG. 186 (D), after the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) in the game is stopped, the game shifts to the next game.

  In addition, although normal reach and long reach were illustrated as the normal type of winning effect, the difference between the two is distinguished by, for example, the law of decorative symbols that stop in the middle row, and in the case of long reach, the middle row that stops at the end The decorative design of No. is a design that is numerically or arrayally similar to the design that formed the reach state (for example, 1 to 2 frames before and after), and in the case of normal reach, the decorative design of the middle row that stops when it comes off It is assumed that the symbol that is in the reach state is a symbol that is numerically or arrayally distant from the symbol. Thus, by making the behavior in the long reach different from the normal reach, it can be expected that the player has a higher degree of expectation for the big hit than the normal reach. However, as shown in FIG. 186, the normal type of winning effect is not such that a special effect screen is displayed after the reach state is formed, and the degree of expectation for the big hit is the SP1 and SP2 types described later. It's not as expensive as the current production.

  FIG. 187 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the effect image when the SP1 type winning effect is executed. FIGS. 187 (A) to 187 (E) schematically show effect images in the liquid crystal display device 1900, and FIGS. 187 (A) and (B) are the same as FIGS. 186 (A) and (B). Since this is the production screen, the description is omitted.

  When the reach state is formed as shown in FIG. 187 (B), an effect screen of SP1 type winning effect (story A reach, story B reach, or story C reach) is displayed. Here, the “story reach” which is the SP1 type of winning effect is one type of super reach, and a dedicated winning effect screen as shown in FIG. 187 (C) is displayed, and the types of winning effects “A” to “A” are displayed. Different effects such as a character and a traveling route are performed corresponding to “C”. More specifically, first, the decorative symbol variation display that has been displayed in the image display area 1900d until FIG. 187B is displayed in the second image display area 1900f, and the image display area 1900d includes A screen appears as if the character is moving towards the goal. Since FIG. 187 (C) illustrates the story reach A, the character “A” is drawn. In such a story reach production screen, a hole (a striped portion in FIG. 187 (C)) is drawn at the destination of the character “A”, and can the character “A” reach the goal through the hole? Whether or not the game result is a big hit is suggested depending on whether or not.

  Thereafter, the story A reach effect screen transitions to the effect screen shown in FIG. 187 (C), and when the game result is a win (big hit), the peripheral control MPU 4140a includes a win pattern win effect. Since the pattern is selected, an effect screen indicating that the character “A” has successfully reached the goal is drawn as an effect result corresponding to the effect pattern, as shown in FIG. 187 (D). At the same time, a combination of decorative symbols indicating a big hit (for example, “7” symbol alignment) is stopped and displayed in the second image display area 1900f. As a result, the player can recognize from the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that the game has won a big hit. When the big win is won as shown in FIG. 187 (D), the big hit game is started after the special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) in the game is stopped.

  When the game result is out of order, an effect pattern including the winning effect of the out-of-pattern is selected by the peripheral control MPU 4140a, and the effect result corresponding to the effect pattern is shown in FIG. 187 (E). In addition, an effect screen is drawn which indicates that the character “A” is fit in the hole and cannot reach the goal. At the same time, in the second image display area 1900f, a combination of decorative symbols (for example, “7, 5, 7”) other than the big hit is stopped and displayed. As a result, the player can recognize from the effect result displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that he / she could not win a big win in this game. When the big win is not won as shown in FIG. 187 (E), after the special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) in the game is stopped, the game shifts to the next game.

  In addition, each winning effect (story A to C) of the SP1 type has reliability in the order of story A, story B, story C at least in the initial setting (war history P) so that it can be calculated from the distribution shown in FIG. It is set high. Therefore, by making the character “B” rather than the character “A” and the character “C” more useful than the character “B” appear as beneficial characters, even with the same SP1 type winning effect, the player has different expectations Can be held. In addition, the expectation level (reliability) for the SP1 type of winning effect is higher than the reliability of the normal type of winning effect as described above. It is preferable that an effect screen to be obtained is drawn.

  FIG. 188 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the effect image when the SP2 type winning effect is executed. First, FIG. 188 (A) shows that the decorative design is changing in each of the left, middle, and right columns as in FIGS. 186 (A) and 187 (A). 1900b is shown in a different pattern from the teaching area 1900c.

  Here, in each of the teaching areas 1900a to 1900c, the display of the background changes based on the fact that the battle history is recorded when the corresponding specific winning effect (battle A to C reach) appears out of the way. (Change in power-up display). For example, if the battle history transition stage for each of battles A, B, and C is four stages including the initial setting, the background color is “white” in the first stage of the initial setting and the background in the second stage of the next stage. The color is “blue”, the background color is “green” in the third stage of the next stage, and the background color is “red” in the fourth stage of the next stage. The hatched pattern in the teaching area 1900a in FIG. 188A indicates “green”, the satin pattern in the teaching area 1900b indicates “blue”, and the plain pattern in the teaching area 1900c indicates “white”. In addition, the lattice pattern of the teaching area 1900a shown in FIG. 188 (E) indicates “red”. In other words, in FIG. 188 (A), the battle history related to Battle A is shifted to the third stage, the battle history related to Battle B is shifted to the second stage, and the battle history related to Battle C is the first stage which is the initial setting. I understand. If this state is described as the power-up state of each character, the character A and the character B are in a power-up state. However, character A is more powerful. It should be noted that the display at each stage in the teaching areas 1900a to 1900c as described above basically corresponds to the selection destination of the internal distribution table selected as the combination of the distribution of the production pattern including the winning production. ing.

  Next, in FIG. 188 (B), when the reach state with the symbol “7” is formed, an effect screen of SP2 type winning effect (Battle A reach, Battle B reach, or Battle C reach) is displayed. Here, “Battle Reach”, which is the SP2 type of winning effect, is one type of super reach, and a dedicated winning effect screen as shown in FIG. 188 (C) is displayed. Different effects, such as a character and a battle format, are performed corresponding to “C”. More specifically, first, the decorative symbol variation display displayed in the image display area 1900d until FIG. 188B is displayed in the second image display area 1900f, and the image display area 1900d includes A screen in which the ally character battles with the enemy character is displayed. Since FIG. 188 (C) illustrates battle reach A, the teammate character “A” is drawn. In such a battle reach production screen, the teammate character “A” confronts the enemy character (“Z” in FIG. 188 (C)), and it is suggested whether or not the game result is a big hit depending on whether or not it can be won. The A gauge region 1900g in FIG. 188 (C) is a display region indicating the physical strength of the enemy character, and indicates that the enemy character is damaged and weakened as the shaded portion decreases. The enemy character “Z” is another character (for example, an enemy character “X” that looks weak, an enemy character “Y” that looks strong, etc.) depending on the type of battle reach and the battle history in the game. May be drawn.

  In FIG. 188 (C), the teaching area 1900a is displayed more emphasized than usual based on the effect of the battle A reach being the “specific winning effect” in which the battle history is recorded. . By highlighting the teaching area 1900a in correspondence with the winning effect that appears in this way, it is clear to the player that the effect pattern by the “specific winning effect” in which the battle history is recorded is being executed. Since the reliability of the battle A reach at this time is higher than the initial setting, an effect of remarkably enhancing the interest of the player can be expected. In addition to visually emphasizing the teaching area 1900, the player may be made aware of the appearance of the battle A reach, which is a “specific winning effect”, by voice or character display. In addition, on the effect screen when the teaching area 1900a is highlighted, the teammate character “A” is drawn with an appearance different from the normal battle A reach (for example, a display mode as if the surrounding area is emitting light). In this way, it may be taught that a special performance is in progress.

  Thereafter, the battle A reach production screen transitions to the production screen shown in FIG. 188 (C), and when the game result is a win (big hit), the peripheral control MPU 4140a includes a win pattern win effect. Since the pattern is selected, as the effect result corresponding to the effect pattern, as shown in FIG. 188 (D), an effect screen showing that the teammate character “A” has won the enemy character “Z” is drawn. The In the gauge area 1900g, a state in which the hatched portion disappears is drawn. At the same time, a combination of decorative symbols indicating a big hit (for example, “7” symbol alignment) is stopped and displayed in the second image display area 1900f. As a result, the player can recognize from the effect displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that the game has won a big hit. When the big win is won as shown in FIG. 188 (D), the big hit game is started after the special symbol (first special symbol or second special symbol) in the game is stopped. When the big hit is reached in the battle A reach, the background color in the teaching area 1900a is returned to the initial setting of “white” as an example of the battle history recording method and the teaching method, and the battle history recording related to the battle A is deleted ( On the other hand, the background color in the teaching area 1900b remains the current “blue” and a record of the battle history regarding Battle B is left.

  When the game result is out of order, an effect pattern including a winning effect of the out-of-pattern is selected by the peripheral control MPU 4140a, and as an effect result corresponding to the effect pattern, as shown in FIG. 188 (E). In addition, an effect screen indicating that the teammate character “A” has been defeated by the enemy character “Z” is rendered. At the same time, a combination of decorative symbols (for example, “7, 6, 7”) other than the big hit is stopped and displayed in the second image display area 1900f. As a result, the player can recognize from the effect result displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 that he / she could not win a big win in this game. When the big win is not won as shown in FIG. 188 (E), after the special symbol (the first special symbol or the second special symbol) in the game is stopped, the game shifts to the next game.

  In FIG. 188 (E), since the battle A reach, which is a “specific winning effect”, appears in an out-of-phase manner, the condition for recording the battle history related to the battle A reach is satisfied. At this time, as shown in an example in FIG. 188 (E), the background color of the teaching area 1900a is a diagonal pattern (in the third stage) as if the defeat result (war history) of “A” is recorded. “Green”) is changed to a lattice pattern (“red” in the fourth stage). Along with the transition of the battle history stage regarding the battle A, the selection destination of the combination related to the allocation of the winning effect of the winning pattern (the selection destination of the battle history in the allocation table) is also shifted. In subsequent games, the teaching area 1900a for teaching the record of the battle history related to the battle A is displayed in a grid pattern on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 as shown in FIG. Further power-up) When the battle A reach appears again, it is possible to suggest to the player that the winning effect is more reliable.

  In addition, the SP2 type winning effects (battles A to C) have the reliability in the order of battle A, battle B, and battle C at least in the initial setting (war history P) so that they can be calculated from the distribution shown in FIG. It is set high. Therefore, by making the teammate character “B” than the teammate character “A” and the teammate character “C” appear more useful (strong) characters than the teammate character “B”, the same SP2 type of winning effect can be obtained. However, it can make players have different expectations. In addition, since the degree of expectation (reliability) for the big hit by the SP2 type winning effect is higher than the reliability by the normal type and the SP1 type winning effect as described above, the impression is more special than these other winning effects. It is preferable that an effect screen that can hold the image is drawn.

[6-3. Another example of winning performance]
As described above, the selection of the effect pattern including the winning effect in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment and the features at the time of execution have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above example. It may be realized by example.

  First, for example, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the setting of the transition condition between the battle histories and the number of distributions in each battle histories are not limited to the exemplified conditions. For example, as a transition condition between the battle histories, the transition may be made when a specific winning effect in the off mode appears a specified number of times, and the specified number of times may be set to a different number between the battle histories. Also, the number of battle history settings is not limited, and “war history S” or a battle history as a further transition destination may be set as a transition destination ahead of “war history R” shown in FIG.

  Further, for example, in the example of FIG. 185, it is described that the allocation is set in advance for each battle history, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, when a predetermined transition condition is satisfied In addition, the allocation number of a predetermined winning effect may be adjusted according to a predetermined rule or probability. Specifically, for example, for example, when an outlier Battle A reach is selected and the battle history transition condition is satisfied, the distribution of the SP1 type winning effect in the hit pattern is “0” to “ 5 ”may be subtracted, and“ 9 ”may be added to the allocation at the time of the battle A reach. However, from the viewpoint of efficiently performing internal processing, it is more preferable that the total value of the subtraction numbers for distribution and the total value of the addition numbers are set to be the same.

  In the above-described embodiment, the background color of characters such as “A” to “C” is selected in the teaching area where teaching based on the record of the battle history is performed (teaching areas 1900a to 1900c in FIGS. 186 to 188). However, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment does not limit the teaching mode based on such a record of the battle history to the background color. For example, the battle history of the selected destination The display method (size, color, etc.) of characters such as “A” to “C” that can change the display method (size, brightness, etc.) of the corresponding teaching area or suggest a specific winning effect with the transition of May be changed. As another example of a method for teaching a battle history, a character (for example, character “A” to character “C”) corresponding to a winning effect to be recorded in the battle history appears in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900. For example, the winning effect in which the battle history is recorded may be suggested. In any case, it is only necessary to perform a display (such as an enhanced display of “A” or a power-up display of the character “A”) capable of recognizing a correspondence relationship to a specific winning effect (for example, battle A reach).

  As for the timing of teaching the battle history, in the example of FIG. 188, the latest battle history status is always displayed in the teaching areas 1900a to 1900c, but is not limited to the above. When a recorded specific winning effect appears next time, the battle history regarding the specific winning effect may be taught at an arbitrary timing in the display process on the effect screen. In such a case, the player is notified when the game history is taught that the game is a game in which a winning effect with improved reliability is performed based on the record of the battle history. Therefore, it can be expected to have an effect of rapidly increasing interest in games and having a sense of expectation for jackpots. In addition, for example, when a plurality of winning effects are targeted for “recording of battle history”, it is not necessary to perform “teaching of battle history” with respect to all target winning effects, and it is limited to winning effects with higher appearance frequency. Alternatively, it is possible to perform only “teach history” related to the winning effect of the target that appeared during the previous or past predetermined number of games, or to implement various controls such as.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, whether or not to display the teaching based on the record of the battle history in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900 may be set to be selectable by the player. Providing game effects according to the player's preference, such as wanting to enjoy the results while obscure whether the reliability is high due to the record of the battle history when a specific winning effect appears Can do. By enabling “teaching of the battle history” in various ways as described above, it is possible to further enhance the playability.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the battle history is recorded based on the fact that the specific winning effect appears out of the way, and the selection destination of the allocation combination is shifted (shifting the battle history), so that subsequent games In the above, the description has been given of increasing the reliability when a specific winning effect appears, but such battle history transition conditions and maintenance conditions are not limited to the above example. For example, the transition condition of the selection destination may not be a case where a specific winning effect appears continuously in an out-of-phase manner, and the record of the battle history or the shift of the battle history may not always be performed. In addition, when a specific winning effect appears more than a certain number of times within a predetermined period, the battle history selection destination may be shifted, and as described above, other predetermined conditions are satisfied. Based on this, the selection destination may be shifted.

  In addition, to give a specific example of the transition of the battle history when a plurality of winning performances are to be recorded in the battle history, the battle A reach appears in an out-of-phase manner, and the battle history related to Battle A is recorded. After the power-up display of the character “A” as the corresponding battle history teaching, when the battle B reach appears in an out-of-phase manner, the character is recorded regardless of whether or not the battle history is recorded based on the appearance of the battle B reach. Preferably, the “A” power-up state is left. By controlling in this way, the power-up state of the character “A” is not erased by the appearance of the battle B which seems to be irrelevant, so that the expectation for the battle A can be expected even after the battle B reach appears. The player can be provided with a sense of security that the game can be maintained. Then, when the battle history teaching corresponding to the battle B (power-up of the character “B”) is separately performed by the deviated battle B reach, the player's sense of expectation can be further increased.

  An example of a battle history transition condition in which a battle history transition is not always performed when a specific winning performance that is the subject of a battle history appears out of sync. The object will be described with reference to FIG. Specifically, when a battle A reach out of the battle history P appears, the battle history Q is shifted to the battle history Q with a probability of 1/2 (50%), and a battle A reach out of battle history Q appears. It is sometimes assumed that the history shifts to R with a probability of 1/5 (20%). As described above, even if the battle history is not necessarily transferred even if the battle history is recorded, even if the battle history is deviated, it corresponds to the battle A reach when the battle history is taught. Since it can be expected that an effect that character “A” powers up will be executed, even if a specific winning effect is lost, whether or not the battle history is transferred It is possible to direct the enjoyment and expectation of the user and to improve the game play. Furthermore, if the transition condition from the battle history P to the battle history Q (50% probability) is set to be stricter than the transition condition from the battle history Q to the battle history R (probability 20%), the first stage (initial stage) to the first stage Since it becomes relatively easy to shift to the second stage, it is easy to teach the battle history such as power-up of the character “A”. As a result, an opportunity to provide a special state that the character is powering up can be increased, so that it can be expected to increase the interest of the player and promote the operation.

  Further, the information stored in the “record of battle history” may be partly or entirely deleted as appropriate by the peripheral control MPU 4140a or the like when a predetermined condition is satisfied as the battle history shifts. Thus, by erasing the information stored in the “record of battle history”, it is possible to suppress the excessive holding of data that has no opportunity to be used, and the effect of suppressing a decrease in processing capability can be expected.

  One of the opportunities to erase information about the record of the battle history is to reset the battle history. The reset of the battle history is to return the battle history to the initial state with a predetermined game result as a trigger. As a condition for resetting the battle history, for example, a case where a win is won can be considered. You may make it maintain the battle history of a transfer destination until it wins, or when winning a big hit by a specific winning production, you may make it return to a predetermined stage and make it a selection destination. Moreover, in the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, when winning a big hit, it is not necessary to reset all the battle histories. Specifically, for example, when the characters “A” and “B” are powered up (when the battle history is taught for the battles A and B), when the jackpot is reached by the battle A reach, Only the battle history related to Battle A may be reset to the initial state to cancel the power-up of the character “A”, the battle history related to Battle B may be maintained, and the power-up status of the character “B” may be left. When controlling in this way, it is unreasonable that a player can hold by losing the power-up state of an irrelevant character “B” even though the jackpot was won in the battle A reach related to the character “A”. It can suppress feelings. And even after the big hit, since the player's expectation can be maintained for the appearance of the battle B reach related to the character “B”, the effect of promoting the continuation of the game can be expected.

  In addition, when the change of assignment is repeatedly performed due to the transition of the battle history, it can be assumed that the assignment value for a certain winning effect will be “0”. In order to avoid such a situation, A minimum threshold value may be defined in advance and control may be performed so as not to fall below the threshold value. If the allocation of the winning effect becomes “0”, the winning effect is not selected, so the selection range of the winning effect may be reduced and the gameability may be impaired. Thus, there is an effect that it is possible to realize the transition of the battle history that changes the degree of expectation for the jackpot while securing the types of winning effects that can be selected. In addition, from the player's point of view, while there is no change in the situation where various winning effects are provided, there is an effect that the interest is enhanced when a specific winning effect appears. Similarly, the upper limit value of the distribution value for a specific winning effect may be controlled by a threshold value.

  Further, in this embodiment, based on the fact that a specific winning effect (for example, Battle A reach) has appeared in a non-winning manner (out of line), the distribution of the specific winning effect at the time of winning is determined in subsequent games. By increasing, it can be said that the degree of expectation to the big hit when the specific winning effect appears, but according to the pachinko machine 1 of this embodiment, the specific winning effect (battle A reach) The method that can increase the expectation level for the jackpot when it appears is not limited to this. For example, on the basis of the fact that a specific winning effect (for example, Battle A reach) has appeared in a non-winning manner (out of the game), the distribution of the specific winning effect at the “out of time” is reduced in subsequent games. By doing so, you may be made to raise the expectation degree to the big hit when the said specific winning effect appears relatively. However, if you change the allocation of wins, you can increase the chances of a game that wins a big win with a specific win production. Improvement can be further promoted.

[7. Game method during short-time control]
In the game board 4 of this example, when a game ball is driven into the right side of the center accessory 2500 (with a strength of a predetermined level or more), the fourth unit 2140 in the attacker unit 2100 passes through the right outer periphery of the center accessory 2500. The guide ball member 2142 flows down and is guided by the guide passage 2142a of the guide passage member 2142 to be discharged downward from directly above the gate portion 2105, so that the game ball passes through the gate portion 2105 with a very high probability. Yes. In other words, the game ball can easily enter the gate portion 2105 by performing a so-called right hit.

  Also, in this example, when the game ball passes through the gate portion 2105 and is detected by the gate sensor 2126, the normal symbol lottery process is executed in a very short time. Is “per normal”, the movable piece 2106 moves backward to allow the game ball to be received into the second start port 2102, and the game ball that has entered the gate portion 2105 wins the second start port 2102. It has become. In addition, when the lottery result of the normal symbol is “out of normal”, the game ball that has passed through the gate portion 2105 is discharged to the upper side of the big winning opening 2103. Therefore, a game that directly targets the second start opening 2102 and the big winning opening 2103 can be performed by making a right strike.

  On the other hand, when a game ball is driven to the left side of the center accessory 2500 (so-called left-handed), the game ball is guided in the direction of the front side unit 2200 or the attacker unit 2100 by a plurality of planted obstacle nails, A game ball can be awarded to the general winning port 2201 of the front side unit 2200, the first start port 2101 of the attacker unit 2100, the general winning port 2104, and the like. Further, when a game ball enters the warp inlet 2504 that is guided to the warp inlet 2504 connected to the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500, the game ball is supplied to the stage 2510 of the center accessory 2500, and the stage The game ball supplied to 2510 rolls on the stage 2510 in the left-right direction, and can enjoy a movement different from the movement due to the obstacle nail, and the game ball enters the game area 1100 from the chance exit 2514 of the stage 2510. When released, the first start port 2101 of the attacker unit 2100 can be awarded with a high probability.

  Further, in this example, in the control in the short time state, the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 251/251, the lottery result of the normal symbol is always a win, and the time required for the variable symbol display control of the normal symbol Is shortened to an extremely short predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). When the lottery result of the normal symbol is a win, the second starting port 2102 is controlled with an opening / closing pattern that is closed and opened for an extremely long predetermined time (for example, 5.5 seconds). . In other words, during the time-short state control, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol is successful is extremely high, the time required for the variable symbol variable display control is constant and short, and the open state of the second start port 21 It is much easier to win a game ball to the second start port 2102 due to the long time of the time, and the game ball is more efficiently aimed at the second start port 2102 than the first start port 2101. You can win a prize. In the non-time-short state control, it is assumed that the winning probability of the normal symbol is set to 0/251, and the lottery result of the normal symbol is not always hit, and the second start port 2102 is aimed. In addition, a game ball cannot be won at the second start port 2102.

  As described above, during control in the non-time-short state, even if the second start port 2102 is aimed, the second start port 2102 cannot win a game ball. In order for the game ball to win, the game ball must be fired (so-called “left-handed”) aiming at the left side of the center bonus 2500. Further, in the game area 1100 on the left side of the center accessory 2500, a plurality of obstacle nails are planted on the front surface of the game panel 1200 with a predetermined gauge arrangement at an appropriate position, and the game ball hits the obstacle nails. By touching, various movements are given to the game ball and flow down. For this reason, even if a game ball is shot on the left side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the first starting port 2101, it does not necessarily win the first starting port 2101, but wins the first starting port 2101. The game balls that did not exist are discharged to the outside through an out port 1151 provided at the lower center of the game area 1100 in the left-right direction.

  On the other hand, during control in the short-time state, a game ball can be won more efficiently by aiming at the second start port 2102 than at the first start port 2101. In order to win, the game ball must be launched (so-called “right-handed”) aiming at the right side of the center actor 2500. Also, due to the structure of the game board 4, when the second starting port 2102 is opened, if a game ball is driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the second starting port 2102, it passes through the gate portion 2301. The game balls thus won are awarded to the second starting port 2102 with a very high probability. For this reason, during the control in the short-time state, the game ball driven to the right side of the center accessory 2500 is hardly wasted (discharged to the outside from the out port 1151), and the control in the non-short-time state is being performed. Compared with the first start port 2101 in the above, the game ball wins the second start port 2102 very efficiently.

  In addition, during the time-short state control, in addition to the structure of the game board 4, the probability that the lottery result of the normal symbol will be a hit when passing through the gate portion 2301 is very high, and the fluctuation display of the normal symbol is displayed. The time required for the control is constant and short, the open time of the second start port 21 is long, etc., so that a game ball can easily win the second start port 2102, and further, the game can be played to the second start port 2102. When the ball is won, the time required for the display control of the special symbol is about 1 second, which is extremely shorter than the range of 10 to 120 seconds during the non-time-short state control. It is possible to digest the symbol variation display control (the suspension of the special symbol variation display control). That is, when the short hit state is controlled after the big hit gaming state, the game ball is hit on the right side of the center accessory 2500 with the aim of the second start port 2102 to make a big hit again in a short time. It is possible to expect a large number of game balls to be acquired by controlling to the big hit game state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the number of game balls to be paid out by winning a game ball to the second start port 2102 is one, so that the game balls to the second start port 2102 are Even if winnings occur frequently, it is possible to reduce the burden on the game hall side while enhancing the interest of the player.

[8. Continuous defeat production using guided decoration member (object detection sensor)]
In the present embodiment, a combined effect using an image effect by an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 and three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) in the front unit 2000. As described above, when the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 detect the player's operation on the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213, a continuous destruction effect that can defeat the enemy characters displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is achieved. Running. As will be described in detail later, this continuous defeat effect will be described in detail later. As an effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, after starting the variable display of decorative symbols, 3 corresponding to each of the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, 2213. A human enemy character appears and an instruction is given as to which order to defeat the three enemy characters (in which order the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144 and 2213 should be operated). In addition, after the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are operated in the designated order (detected in the order in which the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 are designated), the pressing operation unit 405 in the operation unit 400 is used. The player is instructed to operate once. When the enemy character is defeated by operating the pressing operation unit 405, the quasi-continuous variation is continued (all decorative symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in a display pattern that does not become a reach mode in the decorative symbol variation display). After that, control to start the display of the decorative symbols again) is performed, and when the enemy character remains, the reach appearance is developed without continuing the pseudo continuous variation by forming the reach mode. doing.

  As shown in FIG. 110, the middle object detection sensor 2116 and the middle guidance decorative member 2117 are both provided in the first unit 2110 of the attacker unit 2100 attached to the front surface of the game panel 1150, and the middle guidance decoration member 2117 is middle. It is arranged adjacent to the lower side of the object detection sensor 2116. Further, the middle object detection sensor 2116 is an optical sensor including a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit, and the player can see the inside of the game area 1100 from the player through the transparent glass unit 590. It is possible to detect whether the hand has touched the medium guiding decorative member 2117.

  Further, the middle guiding decorative member 2117 is disposed below the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the first starting port 2101, and the lower peripheral portion (out port 1115) on the lower side of the game area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player. (Positions close to the inner periphery of the game area 1100). Further, the middle guiding decorative member 2117 is disposed at the approximate center in the lateral direction of the game area 1100 and is disposed below the right guiding decorative member 2144 and the left guiding decorative member 2213 so that the player is seated. In order to touch the right guide decorative member 2144 with the left hand while rotating the handle device 500 with the right hand in this state, it is not necessary to lift the arm more than the right guide decorative member 2144 and the left guide decorative member 2213, and three guide decorative members 2117. , 2144, 2213 are easy to operate. The middle guide decoration member 2117 is faced down to the front and in a circle corresponding to the fact that the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are positioned relatively downward as viewed from the player. Decorated with arrows.

  110, both the right object detection sensor 2143 and the right guiding decorative member 2144 are provided on the fourth unit 2140 of the attacker unit 2100 attached to the front surface of the game panel 1150, and the right guiding decorative member 2144. Is arranged adjacent to the right side of the right object detection sensor 2143. The right object detection sensor 2143 is an optical sensor including a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit, and the player can see the inside of the game area 1100 from the player through the transparent glass unit 590. It is possible to detect whether the hand has touched the right guiding decorative member 2144.

  Further, the right guiding decorative member 2144 is arranged on the lower right side of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the peripheral portion on the right side of the gaming area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player (the inner circumference of the gaming area 1100). It is arranged at a position close to The right guiding decorative member 2144 is disposed on the right side in the lateral direction of the game area 1100 and touches the right guiding decorative member 2144 with the left hand while rotating the handle device 500 with the right hand while the player is seated. Since the distance from the left hand is farther than the middle guiding decorative member 2117 and the left guiding decorative member 2213, the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are difficult to operate. The right guide decoration member 2144 is positioned on the right side in a circle on the front surface in correspondence with the right guide decoration member 2144 being positioned on the right side as viewed from the player among the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213. Decorated with arrows.

  110, both the left object detection sensor 2212 and the left guide decoration member 2213 are provided in the front side unit 2200 attached to the front surface of the game panel 1150, and the left guide decoration member 2213 detects the left object. The sensor 2212 is disposed adjacent to the left side. The left object detection sensor 2212 is an optical sensor including a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit, and the player passes the transparent glass unit 590 that allows the player to view the inside of the game area 1100. It is possible to detect whether the hand has touched the left guide decorative member 2213.

  The left guide decorative member 2213 is arranged on the lower left side of the liquid crystal display device 1900 and is slightly lower on the left side of the gaming area 1100 that can be viewed by the player (on the inner periphery of the gaming area 1100). It is arranged at a close position). The left guide decoration member 2213 is disposed on the left side in the lateral direction of the game area 1100 and is disposed at the same height as the right guide decoration member 2144. In order to touch the left guide decorative member 2213 with the left hand while rotating with the right hand, the distance from the left hand is closer than the right guide decorative member 2144, and therefore the operation is performed among the three guide decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213. It is easy. In addition, since the left guide decoration member 2213 is visually recognized by the player among the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213, and is arranged on the left side, a left-pointing arrow is formed in a circle on the front surface. The decoration is arranged.

  In this example, three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) are all disposed below the liquid crystal display device 1900. When the object detection sensor is arranged around the liquid crystal display device (for example, in the center object) as in the prior art, when the player operates to detect the object detection sensor, It is located in front of the liquid crystal display device and hinders visual recognition of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device, and there is a risk that the effect contents will not be fully understood. However, since the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are all disposed below the liquid crystal display device 1900, the player can detect any one of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. Is operated, the user's hand is not positioned on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900, and viewing of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is not prevented. Further, even if the player operates to detect any of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212, it is not necessary to lift the arm up to a height higher than the liquid crystal display device 1900, and the three guiding decorative members 2117, Each of 2144 and 2213 is easy to operate.

  In addition, a transparent glass unit 590 is provided in front of the game area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player, and the player can detect any one of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. When operating, the surface of the glass unit 590 may be touched to contaminate the surface. At this time, if the surface of the glass unit 590 on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900 is soiled, it may hinder the viewing of the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. However, the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 Even if the player operates to detect one of them, it only stains the surface of the glass unit 590 on the front surface of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, 2213, and visually recognizes the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900. Will not cause any trouble.

  In this example, the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) are all peripheral portions (game areas) that can be visually recognized by the player. 1100 in the vicinity of the inner periphery of 1100). That is, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) can roll a game ball in the game area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player. Even if the player operates to detect any of the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212, the player's hand is placed on the front surface of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Not only is it not positioned, but it is also not positioned in front of the rolling area, particularly whether the game ball wins in the first start port 2101 or not, and the game ball wins in the first start port 2101. There is no hindrance to seeing whether or not. Further, if the surface of the glass unit 590 in the front surface of the rolling region is soiled, it may hinder the visual recognition of whether or not the game ball wins at the first start port 2101, but the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, Even if the player operates to detect any one of 2212, it only stains the surface of the glass unit 590 on the front surface of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213, and the game ball wins the first start port 2101. There will be no trouble in visually recognizing whether or not.

  Further, in this example, the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are arranged so as to be adjacent to the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212, and an effect using the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is executed. In this case, the player does not touch the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212, but directs the guidance decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 to touch the player (for example, guidance decoration members 2117, 2144, and so on). In step 2213, an effect is produced in which only the designated guiding decorative member is illuminated and decorated. For this reason, even if the player operates to detect any of the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212, it only stains the surface of the glass unit 590 in front of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213. The surface of the glass unit 590 on the front surface of the detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is not soiled. That is, if the surface of the glass unit 590 in front of the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is soiled, it becomes difficult to detect the player's hand that touches the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213, but the object detection sensor 2116 , 2143, 2212 without contaminating the surface of the glass unit 590, the player's hand touching the guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, 2213 can be reliably detected.

  Further, in this example, during the control in the non-time-short state, a game is performed in which a game ball is shot on the left side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the first start port 2101, which can be visually recognized by the player. In the game area 1100, three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (three object detection sensors 2116, 1616) are provided on the side of the roll area where the game ball can roll from the left side of the center accessory 2500. 2143, 2212), the middle guiding decorative member 2117 and the left guiding decorative member 2213 (the middle object detecting sensor 2116 and the left object detecting sensor 2212) are arranged. On the other hand, during the short-time control, a game is performed in which a game ball is shot on the right side of the center accessory 2500 aiming at the second start port 2102, but the game area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player is played. Among them, three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) are provided on the side of the rolling area where the game ball can roll from the right side of the center accessory 2500. Among them, a right guiding decorative member 2144 (right object detection sensor 2143) is disposed. As described above, only one of the left and right sides of the center accessory 2500 is used as the rolling area depending on the gaming state, and the gaming area 1100 may give a narrow impression. When an effect using 2117, 2144, and 2213 (object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) is executed, the left and right sides of the center accessory 2500, that is, the entire game area 1100 is used, and a spacious game is performed. Can give an impression of what is being done.

  Further, in this example, the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are all arranged at the peripheral portion of the game area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player (position close to the inner periphery of the game area 1100). In the period when the effect using the guidance decoration members 2117, 2144, 2213 (object detection sensors 2116, 2143, 2212) is not executed, it plays a role as a decoration part (for example, light-emitting decoration) of the game area 1100. . In this way, since the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 also serve as the decoration part of the game area 1100, the area for arranging the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 is the decoration part. There is no need to provide them separately, and it is possible to secure a sufficient rolling area where the game ball can roll while the area of the gaming area 1100 is limited.

  In this example, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 (three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212) are all located below the liquid crystal display device 1900 and the peripheral portion of the game area 1100 (game). Is displayed at least on the liquid crystal display device 1900 when the player operates to detect any of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. Any position that does not hinder the viewing of the rendered effect image may be used. Further, not only the liquid crystal display device 1900 but also a start port for determining whether or not a game ball will win (a region around the first start port 2101 and the second start port 2102 and information display related to other effects (for the player) (For example, information display that can be useful information) (for example, front right middle effect unit 2600, front right outer effect unit 2700, back upper effect unit 3300, back lower effect unit 3500, etc.) are provided at the periphery of the game area. Even if the player is operating so that any one of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 detects even a decoration area (such as a lamp) is not included. It is desirable that the position does not hinder.

  Next, a specific example of the continuous destruction effect using the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, 2213 (object detection sensors 2116, 2143, 2212) will be described with reference to FIGS. 189 and 190. In this effect example, in the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) or the second variation pattern setting process processed by the main control MPU 4100a of the main control board 4100, “pseudo continuous variation” is performed before the reach effect is executed. A variation pattern that is set to execute a predetermined number of times (for example, 1 to 3 times temporary stop display that does not become a reach mode) is determined (a variation pattern that does not perform pseudo continuous variation) In the effect control process (step S602) processed by the peripheral control MPU 4101a of the peripheral control board 4010 based on the variation pattern command transmitted from the main control board 4100, the case where it is determined to execute the continuous destruction effect is Show.

  As shown in FIG. 189 (A), in the continuous destruction effect that is executed after the display of the decorative symbols is started, an instruction “touch the sensor and attack the enemy!” Is displayed above the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. At the same time, three enemy characters are displayed side by side in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. In addition, any number from 1 to 3 is assigned to the front of each of the three enemy characters, and an instruction is given as to which order to defeat the three enemy characters (in this example, The enemy character → the order of the left enemy character → the right enemy character is instructed). In this example, the enemy character is displayed so as to be larger as the enemy character is in the earlier order among the three enemy characters, so that it is easy to recognize in which order the three enemy characters should be defeated. ing.

  Further, in the lower part of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900, as the member displays 1900a to 1900c in which each of the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 is copied, a left-pointing arrow corresponding to the left guide decoration member 2213 in order from the left. Left member display 1900a on which is drawn, a middle member display 1900b in which a downward arrow is drawn corresponding to the middle guide decoration member 2117, and a right member display 1900c on which a right arrow is drawn corresponding to the right guide decoration member 2144 Is displayed. These member displays 1900a to 1900c are displayed below each of the three enemy characters. In order to defeat the three enemy characters in a designated order, three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are displayed. It is instructed which one to operate. That is, in this example, it is instructed to defeat the enemy character in the order of the middle enemy character → the left enemy character → the right enemy character, and correspondingly, the middle guide decorative member 2117 → the left guide decorative member It is possible to recognize that the player should touch in the order of 2213 → right guiding decorative member 2144. However, in this example, the player is required to touch in the order of the middle guiding decorative member 2117 → the left guiding decorative member 2213 → the right guiding decorative member 2144, but the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, 2213 It may be requested that the player touches in any order. As described above, the game area 1100 is changed by changing the order instructed on the liquid crystal display device 1900, that is, the order of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 to be touched by the player each time the continuous destruction effect is executed. The trajectory drawn by the player's hand is changed, and the continuous destruction effect using the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 can be made an effect that does not get bored.

  Further, the remaining time of the valid time permitted to be detected by the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is displayed slightly below the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. In this example, the effective time starts, and first, only the detection by the middle object detection sensor 2116 out of the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is permitted, and only the middle member display 1900b displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is predetermined. And the middle guide decoration member 2117 corresponding to the middle member display 1900b is lit in the same color, thereby instructing the player to touch the middle guide decoration member 2117. In this example, the effective time is set to 5 seconds, and it is required to touch the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 that are separated from each other in a short time. Thus, the remaining time of the valid time is clearly shown on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900, so that the time limit for completing the touch of the player on the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 must be completed. Can be recognized reliably.

  As shown in FIG. 189 (B), when the player touches the middle guiding decorative member 2117 and the middle object detection sensor 2116 detects it, the number 1 assigned to the enemy character inside is erased. By attacking the enemy character inside and displaying the characters “HIT!”, It is possible to reliably recognize that the middle object detection sensor 2116 has detected the player's hand. Then, only the detection by the left object detection sensor 2212 among the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is permitted, and only the left member display 1900a displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is lit in a predetermined color, and the left member display 1900a. The player is instructed to touch the left guide decorative member 2213 by lighting only the left guide decorative member 2213 corresponding to the same color.

  As shown in FIG. 189 (C), when the player touches the left guide decoration member 2213 and the left object detection sensor 2212 detects the number, the second number assigned to the left enemy character is deleted. By attacking the left enemy character and displaying the characters “HIT!”, It is possible to reliably recognize that the left object detection sensor 2212 has detected the player's hand. Then, only the detection by the right object detection sensor 2143 among the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is permitted, and only the right member display 1900c displayed on the liquid crystal display device 1900 is lit in a predetermined color and the right member display 1900c. The player is instructed to touch the right guide decorative member 2144 by lighting only the right guide decorative member 2144 corresponding to the same color.

  As shown in FIG. 189 (D), when the player touches the right guiding decorative member 2144 and the right object detection sensor 2143 detects the number, the number 3 assigned to the right enemy character is deleted. By attacking the right enemy character and displaying the characters “HIT!”, It is possible to reliably recognize that the right object detection sensor 2143 has detected the player's hand. Then, after attacking all three enemy characters, the effective time allowed to be detected by the press detection sensor 432c is started, and the detection of the detection by the press detection sensor 432c is started. Further, as shown in FIG. 190 (E), in the center of the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900, the characters “Blow away!” Are displayed, and an image replicating the pressing operation unit 405 is displayed. The player is instructed to operate the operation unit 405.

  As shown in FIG. 190 (F), within the effective period of the pressure detection sensor 432c, after the player operates the pressure operation unit 405 and the pressure detection sensor 432c detects the explosion, an explosion occurs on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. If it happens and three enemy characters can be defeated, it is determined that the continuous destruction effect has been successful. Then, as shown in FIG. 190 (G), the decorative symbol change display is a combination of decorative symbols that continue to undergo pseudo continuous variation in the order of left decorative symbol → right decorative symbol → middle decorative symbol (in this example, “ The temporary continuous change is continued by displaying the temporary stop so as to be the temporary stop symbol of “7. That is, when three enemy characters can be defeated, it can be recognized that the continuous destruction effect is successful and the pseudo continuous variation is continued. In the present example, as a combination of decorative symbols that continue to undergo pseudo continuous variation, the left and right decorative symbols are out-of-line symbols that do not become the reach mode, and the middle decorative symbol is a symbol that is drawn as “pseudo-continuous”. When the pseudo continuous variation is continued, the decorative symbol variation display is started again, and the continuous destruction effect as shown in FIGS. 189 and 190 is executed again.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 190 (H), within the effective period of the pressure detection sensor 432c, after the player operates the pressure operation unit 405 and the pressure detection sensor 432c detects, on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. When the explosion does not occur and the three enemy characters cannot be defeated, it is determined that the continuous destruction effect has failed. Then, as shown in FIG. 190 (I), the variation display of the decorative symbol is stopped so as to form a reach form (in this example, a “7” reach symbol) in the order of the left decorative symbol → the right decorative symbol. By displaying, a reach effect is executed after that. That is, when the three enemy characters cannot be defeated, the continuous destruction effect fails, and it can be recognized that the pseudo continuous variation is not continued as in the case of the success of the continuous destruction effect.

  In this example, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are adjacent to the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212, and are spaced apart from each other on the front surface of the game area 1100 that can be viewed by the player. In order to execute the continuous destruction effect, the player is allowed to touch the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 sequentially as instructed by the liquid crystal display device 1900, so that the separated position is determined by the player. The hand of the player must move, and a dynamic action can be performed in the game area 1100. Further, by using the game area 1100 as an area for the player to operate, not only the game ball rolls or displays an image on the liquid crystal display device 1900, but the wide area of the game area 1100 is effectively used. It is possible to make use of the game as well as to make the player feel unity with the game.

  Further, in this example, three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 are arranged at positions separated from each other on the front surface of the game area 1100 that can be visually recognized by the player, and each of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. It is provided adjacent to. For example, if only the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 are provided in the game area 1100, the positions detected by the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 cannot be clearly recognized. By providing the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213, it is possible to clearly recognize where the player touches the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. For this reason, the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 are provided at spaced positions on the front surface of the game area 1100, and the player does not hesitate where to touch and executes the continuous destruction effect. At this time, the player can quickly touch so that the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 detect in order. Therefore, in the continuous destruction effect, the remaining effective time allowed to be detected by the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is clearly shown, but the effective time is set short (in this example, 5 seconds). ), It is possible to complete the touch on the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 within the effective time without panicking the player.

  Further, in this example, not only is it indicated which of the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 should be touched on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900, but the indicated guide decoration member 2117 is indicated. , 2144 and 221 are lit only, so that the player can touch quickly without being confused with the guide decoration members 2117, 2144 and 221 to be touched.

  Further, in this example, optical sensors are used as the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. Through the transparent glass unit 590 that enables the player to visually recognize the inside of the game area 1100, the player It is detected whether the hand has touched the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213. The detection ranges of these object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 can be detected not only in the front area of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 but also in the area around the front area. The player does not necessarily need to touch the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 through the transparent glass unit 590, and passes through an area including the front area of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 (game with the glass unit 590). Even if the person's hand is slightly separated), it can be detected. That is, it is possible to detect the player's hand in a wider range than the area of the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 while allowing the player to clearly recognize the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213. . For this reason, even when the player operates the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 quickly, the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 can detect them even if they are ambiguously operated. Therefore, in the continuous destruction effect, the remaining effective time allowed to be detected by the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 is clearly shown, but the effective time is set short (in this example, 5 seconds). ), It is possible to complete the touch on the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 within the effective time without panicking the player.

  If an operation unit that can be directly operated by a player, such as the pressing operation unit 405, is provided on the game area 1100, vibrations when the player operates (presses) the game. It is transmitted to the area 1100 and may affect the rolling of the game ball on the game area 1100, but by using the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, 221 and the object detection sensors 2116, 2143, 2212, the player can directly There is no need to operate manually, and such problems do not occur.

  Further, in this example, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 are provided on the game area 1100 that is parallel to the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900, whereas the pressing operation unit 405 has the game window. Of the dish unit 300 having an upper dish 301 that protrudes forward to the lower side of 101 and stores a game ball, it is provided at the upper center that forms a vertical plane with the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. In other words, the object to be touched by the player in the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, 221 is parallel to the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900, whereas the player in the pressing operation unit 405 should operate. The object forms a vertical plane with the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. For example, when a plurality of pressing operation units are provided on the dish unit 300, the player who has viewed the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 faces down to recognize the pressing operation unit to be operated by the player. Therefore, there is a possibility that the contents of the effect displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 may be overlooked. On the other hand, when the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 are provided on the game area 1100, the player who was viewing the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 does not face down and touches the player. The guidance decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 to be recognized can be recognized, and the contents of effects displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 are not missed. Note that the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 are provided closer to the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 than the pressing operation unit 405, and the player is more rendered (displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900). You can make you feel like you are participating in the production.

  Further, in this example, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 are provided on the game area 1100, that is, in an area where the player can see the screen while viewing the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. On the other hand, the pressing operation unit 405 is provided on the dish unit 300, that is, in an area where it is difficult to enter the player's field of view while viewing the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. As described above, the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 221 are not only on the game area 1100 as areas that can enter the player's field of view while visually recognizing the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. It is provided in an area on the game board 4 that is visible from the player side through the game window 101 formed in the door frame 5 (an area other than the game area 1100 in the game board 4), or lower than the lower end of the game area 1100. If it is above, it may be provided on the side of the door frame base body 110 that is the periphery of the gaming area 1100.

  Further, in this example, the player does not touch all of the three guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 within the effective time permitted to be detected by the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212. If all of the three object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 have not been detected, or the player does not touch the last designated guide decoration member among the three guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213, 3 When only one or two of the two object detection sensors 2116, 2143, and 2212 are detected, the three enemy characters are not attacked. In such a case, after the effective time (in this example, 5 seconds) ends, as shown in FIG. 190 (E), the player is instructed to operate the pressing operation unit 405, and three enemies are operated. An effect similar to that after attacking all of the characters is executed.

  Further, in this example, if the player does not operate the pressing operation unit 405 within the effective time permitted to be detected by the pressing detection sensor 432c and the pressing detection sensor 432c does not detect, the pressing Whether or not three enemy characters can be defeated based on the fact that an explosion occurs in the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900 after the detection sensor 432c ends within the effective period, that is, whether or not the continuous destruction effect is successful. Can be judged. In such a case, it is not possible to recognize whether or not the quasi-continuous fluctuation continues until after the end of the pressing detection sensor 432c within the effective period, and the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 (continuous destruction effect). To join).

  In addition, “pseudo continuous variation” in this example is similar to “normal variation” (variation in which a stop symbol is displayed without a reach mode), and all the decorative symbols are displayed in a variation mode of the decorative symbol. A temporary stop display (for example, a state in which the decoration pattern is drawn as “pseudo-ream” in this example) is not temporarily stopped (for example, a state in which the stop is not stopped completely by shaking up and down: a fluctuation change display) ) After that, the display of the decorative symbols is started again, and the display is temporarily stopped and displayed in a non-reachable pattern that does not become the reach mode continuously (repeatedly) a predetermined number of times (the number of times set in the variation pattern). In addition, as long as a temporary stop display is performed with a symbol that does not become a reach mode in the decorative symbol display, the decorative symbol variable display is started again. On the other hand, when the reach mode is formed, a reach effect ( The reach production set in the variation pattern) is executed. Further, in this example, “pseudo continuous variation” is performed before the reach effect is performed, but in “pseudo continuous variation”, the detachable symbols that do not become the reach mode are any one of 1 to 3 times. Only temporary stop can be displayed.

  In this example, in the variation pattern table referred to in the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) or the second variation pattern setting process, the variation pattern for executing the “pseudo continuous variation” does not become a reach mode. A variation pattern for temporarily stopping and displaying the symbol by any number of times 1 to 3 is set. In the variation pattern table, when executing “pseudo continuous variation”, the larger the number of temporary stop display that does not become the reach mode, the greater the expected value of jackpot expectation (expected rate of jackpot expectation = appearance rate at the time of jackpot / total appearance) The determination value is assigned to the variation pattern so that the rate is high. That is, when the determination result is a big hit, when executing “pseudo continuous variation”, the number of times that the determination result does not become the reach mode at a higher rate than the time when the determination result is out is displayed temporarily. For this reason, when the “pseudo continuous variation” is executed, the higher the number of times of temporary stop display of the out-of-order symbol that does not become the reach mode, the higher the ratio of the determination result to the big hit, and the sense of expectation for the big hit gaming state Has come to increase.

  In this example, when the variation pattern of “pseudo continuous variation” is determined in the first variation pattern setting process (step S82) or the second variation pattern setting process processed by the main control MPU 4100a of the control board 4100. Then, a variation pattern command capable of specifying the variation pattern is transmitted from the main control board 4100 to the peripheral control board 4010. In the effect control process (step S602) processed by the peripheral control MPU 4101a of the peripheral control board 4010, when the variation pattern of “pseudo continuous variation” is specified from the variation pattern command, the continuous destruction effect is performed based on the variation pattern. If it is decided whether or not to execute, and it is decided to execute the continuous destruction effect, the continuous destruction effect succeeds according to the number of temporary stop display that does not become the reach aspect in “pseudo continuous variation” Decide how many times to do. For example, in the case of temporarily stopping display of the off symbol that does not become the reach mode in “pseudo continuous variation” only three times, the continuous destruction effect is succeeded only three times. In addition, when “pseudo continuous variation” is executed, the judgment result becomes a big hit as the number of times of temporary stop display of the out-of-order symbol that does not become the reach mode is executed, that is, as the number of successes of the continuous destruction effect increases. The ratio is high. For this reason, in the continuous destruction effect, it is desired that the effect is successful and the “pseudo continuous variation” is continued, and the player touches the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 or operates the pressing operation unit 405 by the player. To participate in the continuous defeat production.

  In addition, in this example, not only when a variation pattern that executes “pseudo continuous variation” is determined, but also when a variation pattern that does not execute “pseudo continuous variation” is determined, continuous destruction effects are performed based on the variation pattern. It may be determined whether or not to execute. At this time, even if it is determined that the continuous destruction effect is to be executed, the detachable pattern that does not become the reach mode like “pseudo continuous variation” is not displayed temporarily, so that it fails in the first continuous destruction effect. It has become.

  Further, in this example, when “pseudo continuous variation” is executed, an out-of-order symbol that does not become a reach mode (in this example, a temporary stop symbol of “7, pseudo-continuous, 8”) is temporarily stopped. The same temporary stop symbol is repeatedly displayed in a temporary stop regardless of the number of temporary stop displays of the out-of-order symbols that do not become the reach mode in “continuous fluctuation”. In addition, the left decoration symbol that is temporarily stopped and displayed in the “pseudo continuous variation” is a reach-like symbol (in this example, “7” reach symbol) that is formed after the “pseudo continuous variation” is executed. It is controlled to become. That is, in the effect control process (step S602) processed by the peripheral control MPU 4101a of the peripheral control board 4010, first, after determining the stop symbol of the decorative pattern based on the determination result notification command transmitted from the main control board 4100, When a variation pattern of “pseudo continuous variation” is specified from the variation pattern command, the left decorative symbol that is temporarily stopped and displayed in “pseudo continuous variation” is the first stop among the stop symbols of the determined decorative symbol. The right decorative design is determined to be the same as the displayed left decorative design, and the right decorative design displayed temporarily after the left decorative design in "Pseudo Continuous Variation" is different from the temporary stopped design of the left decorative design. The symbol is determined to be the symbol (in this example, the left ornament symbol + 1 symbol), and the middle ornament symbol that is temporarily stopped and displayed at the “pseudo continuous variation” is drawn as “pseudo-continuous”. It is adapted to determine to be a symbol.

  Further, in this example, when the variation pattern for executing the “pseudo continuous variation” is determined, the player touches the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213 in order, and then the player operates the pressing operation unit 405. However, it is possible to execute a continuous destruction effect using only one of them, and the game is applied to the guiding decorative members 2117, 2144, and 2213 as instructed in the continuous destruction effect. When the player sequentially touches or when the player operates the pressing operation unit 405, it is possible to determine whether or not the continuous destruction effect is successful and to recognize whether or not the pseudo continuous variation is continued. Good.

  In this example, in addition to the continuous destruction effect, an effect using the press operation unit 405 is executed, and the press operation unit 405 is used at a higher rate than the effect using the guide decoration members 2117, 2144, and 2213. The production is executed. For example, in the “normal fluctuation” (the period from the start of the decorative display of the decorative pattern to the stop display of the decorative pattern as to whether or not to form the reach mode) before executing the reach effect, the liquid crystal display device “Box” is displayed on the screen of 1900 and the player is instructed to operate the pressing operation unit 405. At this time, the effective time permitted to be detected by the press detection sensor 432c is started, and the detection of the detection by the press detection sensor 432c is started. When the player operates the pressing operation unit 405 and detects the pressing detection sensor 432c within the effective period of the pressing detection sensor 432c, the character A is displayed from the “box” displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 1900. An effect in which any one of -C appears is executed. In such an effect, the character to appear is determined so that the big hit expectation degree (hit big hit expectation = appearance rate at big hit / total appearance rate) increases in the order of character A → character B → character C. For example, when the character C appears, the ratio that the determination result is a big hit is high, and the expectation for the big hit gaming state is increased.

[9. Effects of this embodiment]
As mainly described in [6-1] to [6-3], in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when an effect pattern including a specific winning effect (reach effect) appears in an outlier manner, The result of this game is memorized (recording of the battle history), and thereafter, the game effect is performed while teaching the record of the battle history, and the distribution in which the effect pattern including the winning effect is selected from a plurality of effect patterns is selected. By making it fluctuate, it is possible to easily select an effect pattern including the specific winning effect when a big win is won in subsequent games. Therefore, even if a specific winning effect does not become a big hit, the expectation (reliability) of the big hit will be increased when the specific winning effect appears in the next game, so that the player's game Decrease in motivation can be suppressed.

  In addition, when a player is presented with a teaching based on a record of a loss due to such a specific winning effect (record of battle history), when the specific winning effect reappears, a high expectation for the big hit is lost. It becomes possible for the player to easily recognize that the performance is being performed, and it is easier to enhance the interest of the player. Furthermore, since such teachings suggest the existence of a winning effect that increases the reliability when appearing, it is possible to make the player want a specific winning effect to appear stronger than usual. It can be expected and can provide new fun in gaming.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the expected degree of a specific winning effect is changed according to the game situation by changing the allocation related to the winning effect of the winning pattern as described above. Even if the reliability of the “winning effect” is relatively low at the time of initial setting, the expectation when the specific winning effect reappears is higher than before, and the player ’s Expected to increase expectation. In the first place, in the conventional gaming machine, the low-reliability reach production is a win-winning production that has a relatively high opportunity to occur than the other-reliability reach production. Although there is a possibility that the player's willingness to play will be reduced, the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment appears as a specific winning effect in spite of such a low-reliability reach effect. In this case, it is not a low level of reliability but a winning performance with an increased level of reliability, so it can not only suppress the decline in the player's willingness to play as described above, but also create an expectation for a big hit. There is an effect.

  In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the expectation (reliability) of the big hit by each winning effect can be changed according to the appearance situation of the winning effect, so that the player can have various winning effects (reach effects). ) Can be realized. To explain in detail, in conventional gaming machines in which the degree of reliability is determined for each reach production, the expectation to the big hit does not change no matter how many times the same reach production appears, so the low-reliability reach that is likely to be off There was a problem that the player was likely to be disgusted with the production, which could lead to a decrease in interest. However, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the specific example of FIG. 185 is used, the battle A reach has only 40.0% reliability in the initial setting, and the battle B reach (reliability 80.0%) Compared to Battle C reach (reliability 94.3%), the expectation of a big hit is low, but when the battle history is recorded in a mode out of the battle A reach as a “specific winning effect” On the other hand, the reliability of Battle A reach is greatly increased by the transition of the battle history (53.6% in the battle history Q and 65.7% in the battle history R). As a result, although the battle A reach does not reach the reliability of the battle B reach or the battle C reach, the reach effect can be expected to be a big hit from the initial state. In addition, compared with the reliability of other reach productions, the story C reach with the highest reliability in the initial setting is 62.5%, but the battle A reach of battle history R exceeds this reliability, It can be seen that it has been promoted to reach production with high expectation for jackpot. Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the battle A reach, which has a reliability of 40.0%, appears repeatedly, resulting in a big hit with almost 2/3 (reliability 65.7%). A gaming machine is provided in which a player can enjoy various reach effects so that the game can be converted into reach effects having high reliability.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as described with reference to the distribution table (see FIG. 185), the battle A reach included in the SP2 type appears in a mode (out of place) that does not reach the big hit. The battle history of the selected destination shifts as the selection progresses. However, the breakdown of the allocation in the battle history to be transferred at this time is the battle A reach by reducing the allocation of the winning effect included in the SP1 type, which is a type different from the battle A reach. Therefore, the reliability of the entire SP1 type is reduced, while the reliability of the entire SP2 type is increased. Taking a specific example of the allocation table in FIG. 185, the reliability of the SP1 type was 33.3% and the reliability of the SP2 type was 79.6% in the initial battle history P. The reliability of the SP1 type is 20.0%, the reliability of the SP2 type is 81.3%, and in the battle history R, the reliability of the SP1 type is 7.7% and the reliability of the SP2 type is 82.3%. It has become. As described above, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the specific winning effect is included in the subsequent games as the specific winning effect (for example, Battle A reach) appears in a mode that does not reach the big hit. It is possible to increase the expectation level (reliability) for the big hit when the winning effect (ie, battle A to C reach) of the group (SP2 type) appears, and the expectation degree for the winning effect for each type It can provide players with new gaming fun of changing.

  In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, a plurality of types of winning effects, which are relatively easy to select when the big hit is not won, and the low reliability when the big hit is won When it is divided into high reliability production mode group that is easier to select than reliability production mode group, as the game that does not win the big hit continues, the ratio of winning effect of low reliability production mode group can be reduced It has characteristics. A specific description will be given with reference to the distribution table illustrated in FIG. First, the low-reliability performance mode group that is relatively easy to select when the jackpot is not won corresponds to the “SP1 type” (the reliability in the initial setting is 33.3%). The high reliability production mode group that is easier to select than the low reliability production mode group corresponds to “SP2 type” (the reliability in the initial setting is 79.6%). Then, if the battle A reach is a “specific winning effect”, it is assumed that when a game that does not win the big hit continues, the battle A reach will appear in the process, and as a result, the battle A reach The battle history is recorded, and according to the record of the battle history, the allocation destination is shifted from the battle history P to the battle history Q and the battle history R. At this time, the total number of distributions that are assigned to the SP1 type winning effect is divided from the battle history P “54” to the battle history Q “45”, the battle history R “39”, and gradually decreases. To go. This means that the rate at which the SP1 type winning effect is selected is decreasing. On the other hand, similarly, the total number of distributions that can be assigned to the SP2 type of winning effect is “107” in the battle history Q and “113” in the battle history R from the battle history P “98”, and gradually increases. Therefore, the rate at which the SP2 type winning effect is selected increases. From the above, as the game that does not win the jackpot continues, the percentage of winning effects in the low reliability effect mode group (SP1 type) can be reduced. Here, in a conventional gaming machine, the expectation to the big hit differs depending on the reach production, and if only the reach production that cannot be expected to be a big hit continues to appear, the player will reduce the interest and give up the continuation of the game However, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the game that does not win the big hit continues, the ratio of the low-reliability performance mode group can be reduced. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player, and further, to continue to enjoy the game and to promote the continuation of the game. In other words, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the game that does not win the jackpot continues, the ratio of the highly reliable performance mode group (SP2 type) can be increased. Even if the winning situation cannot be achieved, an increase in the selection ratio of the highly reliable performance mode group can be expected to have an effect of suppressing a decrease in gaming motivation.

  In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment described above as the gaming machine according to the present invention, the main control board 4100 (mainly the main control MPU 4100a) has a game ball launched toward the gaming area passing through the predetermined area. It is an example of the lottery means which performs the lottery process in connection with execution of the big hit game advantageous to a player based on this. The predetermined area corresponds to, for example, the first start port 2101 or the second start port 2102. In addition, the peripheral control board 4010 (mainly the peripheral control MPU 4140a, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, and the VDP 4150c) is a symbol effect control unit that variably displays a predetermined symbol in a predetermined display area based on the lottery result by the lottery unit. As a specific example of processing, the peripheral control MPU 4140a corresponds to causing the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a to perform a variable display of decorative symbols in the display area of the liquid crystal display device 1900. Further, the peripheral effect control board 4010 (mainly the peripheral control MPU 4140a and the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a) is controlled by the symbol effect control means in at least a part of the case where the big win is won or the big win is not won in the lottery process. It is an example of a winning effect execution means for executing any of a plurality of types of winning effects as a variable display, and the winning effect is synonymous with a reach effect. In addition, the peripheral control board 4010 (mainly the peripheral control MPU 4140a and the peripheral control RAM 4140e), when a specific winning effect is executed by the winning effect executing means when the big win is not won in the lottery process, This is an example of effect storage means that can store that the big hit is not won by a specific winning effect, and a specific processing example corresponds to the peripheral control MPU 4140a recording the battle history in the peripheral control RAM 4140e. . Also, the peripheral control board 4010 (mainly the peripheral control MPU 4140a, the liquid crystal control MPU 4150a, and the VDP 4150c) and the liquid crystal display device 1900 are information teaching means for teaching information on the specific winning effect stored in the effect storage means. For example, the information related to a specific winning effect corresponds to, for example, “image data used for teaching a battle history” stored in the liquid crystal control ROM 4150b or the character ROM 4150d in the liquid crystal control unit 4150. A specific teaching example is the display in the teaching areas 1900a to 1900c shown in FIG. In addition, the peripheral control board 4010 (mainly the peripheral control MPU 4140a) makes it easy to select the specific winning effect stored in the effect storage means when the big win is won in the lottery process. It is an example of a snow humming means for improving the expectation for a big hit when the specific winning effect taught by the teaching means appears, and specifically, using a distribution table (see FIG. 185) of the winning effect. As described above, this corresponds to the fact that the battle history shifts based on the appearance of a particular winning pattern failure pattern.
