The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low-probability state and a high-probability state as gaming states with different jackpot probabilities. The jackpot probability is a probability of winning a jackpot in a jackpot lottery (internal lottery). The high probability state is a gaming state in which the big hit probability is higher than the low probability state. In the high-probability state, the possibility of winning the jackpot is increased as compared to the low-probability state. The high probability state is a so-called “probability change state (probable change state)”.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 has a low base state corresponding to the first state and a high base state corresponding to the second state as game states in which the ratio of the number of winning balls to the number of game balls fired is different. The high base state is a gaming state in which the probability that game balls enter the second starting port 13 is higher than the low base state. The high base state is a so-called “electric support state”, and the low base state is a so-called “non-electric support state”. In the high base state, the probability that the game ball enters the second starting port 13 increases, so that an advantageous game state is achieved. When the base is in the high base state, the advantage relating to the entry of the game ball into the second starting port 13 is higher than when the base is in the low base state.

  For example, the high base state can be realized by performing one control arbitrarily selected from the following three controls, or performing a combination of a plurality of controls. The first control is a normal symbol fluctuation time reduction control that makes the fluctuation time of the normal game shorter than in the low base state. The second control is an ordinary symbol probability variation control that varies the probability of winning the ordinary winning lottery (the ordinary winning probability) to a higher probability than in the low base state. The third control is an opening time extension control that makes the total opening time of the first variable member 16 in one normal winning game longer than that in the low base state. In addition, as the opening time extension control, control to increase the number of times of opening of the first variable member 16 in one normal hitting game than in the low base state, and one time of the first variable member 16 in normal hitting game. It is preferable to perform at least one of the controls for setting the release time of the control to be longer than that in the low base state. Further, the high base state may be realized by combining a fourth control described below. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time reduction control that makes the variation time (for example, the average variation time) of the special game easier to be shorter than in the low base state. When the special symbol fluctuation time reduction control is performed, the high base state is a so-called “variation time reduction state”.

Next, a jackpot in a pachinko gaming machine will be described.

In the big hit game, a round game in which the special winning opening 14 is opened is performed after the opening period (or opening effect) ends. The round game is performed with a predetermined upper limit number of times as an upper limit. In one round game, the special winning opening 14 is used until the first round end condition in which a predetermined upper limit number of game balls are won or the second round end condition in which the predetermined upper limit time elapses. , Will be released. In the round game, a round effect is performed. In the big hit game, when the last round game ends, an ending effect for notifying the end of the big hit game is performed over a predetermined ending period. The big hit game is ended with the end of the ending period (or the ending effect).

  For the big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol and the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol, a big hit game in which the upper limit number of round games is 16 is defined. The big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol is defined to be controlled to a high probability state after the end of the big hit game. For the big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol, it is determined that the state is controlled to the low probability state after the big hit game ends. In addition, the big hit symbols classified into the first big hit symbol and the second big hit symbol include a special game of a predetermined upper limit number of times or a special upper limit number of times after the end of the big hit game. It is determined that the game is controlled to the high base state until the big hit game is given before the game is ended. The big hit symbol classified as the first big hit symbol is given a big hit game after the big hit game is completed, until 100 special games are ended, or before the 100 special games are ended. In the meantime, it is stipulated that the control is performed in the high base state. The big hit symbol classified as the second big hit symbol is given a big hit game after the big hit game is completed, until the 50 special games are ended, or before the 50 special games are ended. In the meantime, it is stipulated that the control is performed in the high base state.

When the big hit symbol is determined and stopped and displayed in the special game, the symbol combination of the big hit is determined and stopped and displayed in the effect game. For example, the symbol combination of the big hit is a symbol combination in which the effect symbols in all rows are the same, such as “777”. Further, when a lost symbol is determined and stopped in the special game, the lost symbol combination is determined and stopped in the effect game. For example, the missing symbol combination is a symbol combination such as “323” or “426” in which at least one line of effect symbols is different from the other line effect symbols. In the effect game, the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed before the final stop display. In this specification, “temporary stop display” refers to a state that indicates that the display is different from the fixed stop display, such as a “fluctuation fluctuation state”.

  In an effect game, a display mode of an effect symbol becomes a reach mode (a reach is formed), and a reach effect may be performed. In the reach mode, a rendering pattern imitating the same numeral is temporarily stopped and displayed in a specific column (for example, a left column and a right column) of a plurality of columns, and a column different from the specific column (for example, a middle column) ) Is a state in which the effect symbol is continuously displayed in a fluctuating manner. In the reach effect, there may be a plurality of types of reach effects in which the appearance of the character or the effect of the effect design differs. The reach production includes a normal reach production and a super reach production performed after the start of the normal reach production. Then, during the execution of the special game, when the super reach effect is executed, the big hit expectation may be higher than when only the normal reach effect is executed.

Hereinafter, control contents executed by the main control CPU 40a and the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
First, the special symbol input processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether a game ball has entered the first starting port 12 based on whether or not the detection signal from the first starting sensor SE1 has been input (hereinafter, referred to as a first input determination). ). When the determination result of the first input determination is positive, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). (Hereinafter, this is referred to as a first suspension determination). If the determination result of the first hold determination is positive, the main control CPU 40a adds one to the first special hold number and updates it. Further, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated first special hold number. The main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information (hereinafter, referred to as a first reserved number command) capable of specifying the updated first reserved number. The control information (command) stored in the output buffer is output to the sub-board 41 in the next and subsequent interrupt processing. When the determination result of the first hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40 and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the first special game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the first special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, so that the execution of the first special game is suspended until the execution condition is satisfied. The pachinko gaming machine 10 can suspend execution of the first special game. The random number information may be the acquired random number itself or information obtained by processing the random number by a predetermined method. For example, the random number is a random number used for a jackpot lottery, a random number used for determining a jackpot symbol, a random number used for determining a variation pattern, and the like.

  After storing the random number information for the first special game in the main control RAM 40c, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 has been input. It is determined whether a game ball has entered the ball 13 (hereinafter, referred to as a second input determination). When the result of the first input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs the second input determination. Similarly, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a performs a second input determination. When the result of the second input determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input processing. On the other hand, when the determination result of the second input determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). Judgment (hereinafter, referred to as a second suspension judgment). When the determination result of the second hold determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol input processing.

  When the result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a adds one to the second special hold number and updates it. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated second special hold number. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information (hereinafter, referred to as a second reserved number command) capable of specifying the updated second special reserved number. If the determination result of the second hold determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40, stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c, The special symbol input processing ends. At this time, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the second special game so that the storage order of the random number information can be specified. In the present embodiment, the random number information for the second special game is stored in the main control RAM 40c, so that the execution of the second special game is suspended until the execution condition is satisfied. The pachinko gaming machine 10 can suspend execution of the second special game. As described above, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is configured to be able to suspend execution of the special game.

Next, a special symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the special game is satisfied (hereinafter, referred to as execution determination). In the execution determination, the main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the big hit game is not being performed and the special game is not being performed, while making a negative determination when the big hit game or the special game is being performed. If the determination result of the execution determination is negative, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start process. On the other hand, if the determination result of the execution determination is affirmative, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the second special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. Then, when the second special reserve number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs a second special symbol start process related to the execution of the second special game. After performing the second special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special reserved number stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. If the second special hold number is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the first special hold number stored in the main control RAM 40c is one or more. When the first special reserved number is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the special symbol start processing. On the other hand, when the first special reserved number is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a performs the first special symbol start process related to the execution of the first special game, and then ends the special symbol start process. Note that when the first special hold number is 0 and the second special hold number is 0, the main control CPU 40a can use control information (hereinafter, referred to as a demo command) capable of specifying a standby state. ) Is stored in the output buffer. Incidentally, the main control CPU 40a does not store the demo command in the output buffer until the first special symbol start process or the second special symbol start process is performed after the demo command is stored in the output buffer. That is, the demo command is stored in the output buffer only once from when the first special hold number and the second special hold number become 0 to when the special game is executed.

  In the first special symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a updates the first special reserved number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting one. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated first special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores a first reserved number command capable of specifying the updated first special reserved number in the output buffer. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first from the random number information for the first special game from the main control RAM 40c. When reading the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a deletes the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines whether to win the big hit based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a jackpot lottery (judgment of jackpot) for determining whether or not a jackpot has been hit. For example, the determination as to whether or not to win the big hit may be made based on whether or not the value of the random number information matches the big hit determination value. The main control CPU 40a performs the big hit lottery so that the probability of winning a big hit is higher in the high probability state than in the low probability state. The determination as to whether or not to win the big hit may be made based on whether or not a value obtained by adding the value of the random number information and the big hit determination value exceeds a predetermined value.

  Then, when a big hit is won in the big hit lottery relating to the first special game (the big hit lottery in the first special symbol start process), the main control CPU 40a sets the big hit symbol to be determined and stopped in the first special game and the big hit variation pattern. And decide. The determination of the jackpot symbol by lottery corresponds to the type of the jackpot being selected by lottery.

  On the other hand, when the big hit is not won in the big hit lottery relating to the first special game (in the case of a miss), the main control CPU 40a determines a lose symbol to be determined and displayed in the first special game and a lose variation pattern. I do. For example, in the case of not winning the big hit in the big hit lottery relating to the first special game, the main control CPU 40a performs a reach lottery. In the case of non-winning, a variation pattern without deviation reach may be determined. Note that the main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information capable of specifying the determined special symbol (hereinafter, referred to as a symbol command) and control information capable of specifying the variation pattern (hereinafter, referred to as a variation pattern designation command). Then, the first special symbol start process ends.

  In the second special symbol start processing, the main control CPU 40a updates the second special reserved number stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting 1 from the second special reserved number. The main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated second special hold number is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a second reserved number command that can specify the updated second special reserved number. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a reads out the random number information stored first among the random number information for the second special game from the main control RAM 40c. When reading the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a deletes the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines whether to win the big hit based on the read random number information and the big hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a jackpot lottery (judgment of jackpot) for determining whether or not a jackpot has been hit. When a big hit is won in the big hit lottery relating to the second special game (the big hit lottery in the second special symbol start process), the main control CPU 40a sets the big hit symbol to be determined and stopped in the second special game, the big hit variation pattern, To determine. The main control CPU 40a determines a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is short (or is easy to determine a fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time is short) in the fluctuation shortening state as compared with the non-variation shortening state. After that, the main control CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start processing.

  On the other hand, when a big hit is not won in the big hit lottery relating to the second special game (in the case of a loss), the main control CPU 40a determines a lose symbol and a loss variation pattern to be determined and displayed in the second special game. I do. For example, in the case of not winning the big hit in the big hit lottery relating to the first special game, the main control CPU 40a performs a reach lottery. In the case of non-winning, a variation pattern without deviation reach may be determined. Note that the main control CPU 40a may determine a special symbol or a variation pattern by lottery using the read random number information. After that, the main control CPU 40a stores the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command in the output buffer, and ends the second special symbol start processing.

  Then, when the special symbol start process ends, the main control CPU 40a performs a process different from the special symbol start process to execute the special game. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special game is started. The main control CPU 40a clocks the fluctuation time associated with the fluctuation pattern determined in the special symbol start processing. Then, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the special symbol determined in the special symbol start process is fixedly stopped and displayed when the variation time associated with the variation pattern has elapsed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, a game end command for causing the symbol combination based on the effect symbol to be determined and stopped when the variation time associated with the variation pattern determined in the special symbol start process has elapsed.

Next, the prize ball processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
When the detection signal from the first start sensor SE1 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. When the detection signal from the second start sensor SE2 is input, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. When a detection signal is input from the count sensor SE3, the main control CPU 40a controls so that a predetermined number of game balls are paid out.

Next, the jackpot process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
The main control CPU 40a executes the big hit process after the big hit symbol is determined and stopped and displayed in the special game to generate a big hit game. In the big hit process, the main control CPU 40a specifies the type of the big hit game based on the big hit symbol (that is, the big hit type) determined in the special symbol start process. Then, after the end of the special jackpot game, the main control CPU 40a starts control for generating the specified jackpot game. Therefore, the main control CPU 40a generates a big hit game by executing the big hit processing. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a jackpot game is generated after the jackpot is won. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when a big hit is won, a big hit game is generated after the end of the special game.

  In the big hit processing, the main control CPU 40a stores the opening command in the output buffer. After storing the opening command in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a counts the opening time. Further, after the opening time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a performs a process for executing a round game. That is, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the special winning opening 14 is opened according to the opening mode (opening pattern), and starts the round game. After starting the round game, when the first round end condition or the second round end condition is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a controls the second actuator A2 so that the special winning opening 14 is closed, and performs the round game. Terminate. The main control CPU 40a repeatedly performs a process for executing the round game until the upper limit number of round games defined in the big hit game ends. The main control CPU 40a stores a round command in an output buffer each time a round game is started. When the final round game is completed, the main control CPU 40a stores the ending command in the output buffer. When the ending command is stored in the output buffer, the main control CPU 40a counts the ending time. Then, when the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 40a ends the big hit processing.

Next, a game state process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
After the end of the big hit game based on the first big hit symbol, the main control CPU 40a sets the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c to a value that can specify the control to the high probability state. The main control CPU 40a sets control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high-probability state command) that can specify the high-probability state when setting a value that can specify the control to the high-probability state in the probability state flag. Store in output buffer. After the big hit game based on the second big hit symbol is finished, the main control CPU 40a sets the probability state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c to a value that can specify control to the low probability state. When a value that can specify that the control is performed in the low-probability state is set in the probability state flag, the main control CPU 40a uses control information that can specify that the control is in the low-probability state (hereinafter, referred to as a low-probability state command). ) Is stored in the output buffer.

  After the end of the big hit game, the main control CPU 40a sets the base state flag stored in the main control RAM 40c to a value that can specify that the control is to be performed in the high base state. The main control CPU 40a sets control information (hereinafter, referred to as a high base state command) that can specify the high base state when a value that can specify the control to the high base state is set in the base state flag. Store in output buffer. In addition, when a value that can be specified to control to the high base state is set, the main control CPU 40a sets the upper limit number of special games to be controlled to the high base state as the remaining number of special games to which the high base state is given. It is stored in the main control RAM 40c. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a sets “100” as the upper limit number of the special game to be controlled to the high base state after the end of the big hit game based on the first big hit symbol. “50” is set as the upper limit number of special games controlled to the high base state.

  Then, each time the special game is executed, the main control CPU 40a subtracts 1 from the remaining number of times of the special game for giving the high base state. When the remaining number of special games to which the high base state is given becomes 0, the main control CPU 40a controls the base state flag to a low base state with the end of the special game in which the remaining number of times becomes 0. Set a value that can identify that. The main control CPU 40a sets control information (hereinafter, referred to as a low base state command) that can specify the low base state when a value that can specify the control to the low base state is set in the base state flag. Store in output buffer. By the way, when a big hit game occurs, the main control CPU 40a sets a value that can be specified to be controlled to the low probability state to the probability state flag and a value that can specify to be controlled to the low base state to the base state flag. Set.

Next, the ordinary symbol input processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol input processing, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not a game ball has passed (entered) the gate 18 based on whether or not a detection signal has been input from the gate sensor SE4. When the game ball has not passed through the gate 18, the main control CPU 40a normally ends the symbol input processing. On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the gate 18, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of ordinary reserves stored in the main control RAM 40c is less than the upper limit number (4 in the present embodiment). . When the number of ordinary reservations is not less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a ends the ordinary symbol input processing. When the number of ordinary reservations is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of ordinary reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c by adding one. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 to display the updated number of ordinary reservations. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores, in an output buffer, control information (hereinafter, referred to as a normal hold number command) capable of specifying the updated normal hold number. Next, the main control CPU 40a acquires a random number generated in the main board 40 and stores random number information based on the acquired random number in the main control RAM 40c. In this case, the main control CPU 40a stores the random number information for the normal game and the storage order of the random number information so as to be specified. After that, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol input processing.

Next, the ordinary symbol start process performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
In the normal symbol start process, the main control CPU 40a determines whether the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied. The main control CPU 40a makes an affirmative determination when the normal hit game is not being performed and the normal game is not being performed, and makes a negative determination when the normal hit game is being performed or the normal game is being performed. When the execution condition of the normal game is not satisfied, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. On the other hand, when the execution condition of the normal game is satisfied, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not the number of normal reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c is 1 or more. If the number of ordinary reservations is not one or more, the main control CPU 40a ends the ordinary symbol start processing. When the number of ordinary reservations is 1 or more, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of ordinary reservations stored in the main control RAM 40c by subtracting one. In this process, the main control CPU 40a controls the information display panel 22 so that the updated number of ordinary reservations is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a stores an ordinary pending number command capable of specifying the updated ordinary pending number in the output buffer.

  Next, the main control CPU 40a reads, from the main control RAM 40c, the random number information stored first among the random number information for the normal game. When reading out the earliest random number information, the main control CPU 40a deletes the earliest stored random number information from the main control RAM 40c. Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a determines whether or not to win a normal hit based on the read random number information and the normal hit determination value stored in the main control ROM 40b. This process corresponds to a normal hit lottery (normal hit determination) as to whether or not it is a normal hit. For example, the main control CPU 40a may perform a normal winning lottery so that the probability of winning a normal win is higher in the high base state than in the low base state. In the case of winning a normal hit, the main control CPU 40a determines a normal hit symbol derived in the normal game and a fluctuation time of the normal game. Thereafter, the main control CPU 40a ends the normal symbol start process. For example, the main control CPU 40a determines a short time as the fluctuation time of the normal game in the high base state (or makes it easier to determine a short time as the fluctuation time of the normal game) as compared with the low base state. You may. Note that the main control CPU 40a may be configured to determine the fluctuation time of the normal game by determining the normal fluctuation pattern in which the fluctuation time of the normal game is determined. The normal variation pattern may be stored in the main control ROM 40b.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a executes the normal game by performing a process different from the normal symbol start process. Specifically, the main control CPU 40a starts the normal game and displays the information such that the normal symbol determined in the normal symbol start process is derived when the fluctuation time determined in the normal symbol start process has elapsed. The panel 22 is controlled. In addition, the main control CPU 40a stores, in the output buffer, control information that can specify that the execution of the normal game is started, as the execution of the normal game is started.

Next, the normal hit processing performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
After the end of the normal game, the main control CPU 40a performs a normal hit process. In the normal hit processing, the main control CPU 40a starts control for generating a normal hit game depending on whether the game is in the high base state or the low base state. The main control CPU 40a generates a normal hit by performing a normal hit process. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the normal hit game is generated after the normal hit is won. In addition, generating a normal hit game is equivalent to giving a normal hit game. In the normal hit processing, the main control CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 so that the second starting port 13 is opened in the open state when in the high base state when in the high base state. Further, when the main control CPU 40a is in the low base state, the main control CPU 40a controls the first actuator A1 so that the second starting port 13 is opened in an opening manner when the base is in the low base state.

Next, a state process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
In the sub control RAM 41c, information capable of specifying a game state is stored. The information that can specify the game state stored in the sub-control RAM 41c includes information that can specify which of the low-probability state and the high-probability state (hereinafter, referred to as a sub-probability state flag). . The information that can specify the gaming state stored in the sub control RAM 41c includes information that can specify which of the high base state and the low base state (hereinafter, referred to as a sub base state flag). . When the low-probability state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can specify the low-probability state in the sub-probability state flag. When the high-probability state command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a value that can specify the high-probability state in the sub-probability state flag. When the low base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the low base state in the sub base state flag. When the high base state command is input, the sub control CPU 41a sets a value capable of specifying the high base state in the sub base state flag.

Next, the hit effect processing performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-controlling CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11 such that a jackpot effect is executed during the big hit game. Specifically, when the opening command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11 so that the opening effect is executed. When a round command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11 so that a round effect is executed. When the ending command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11 so that the ending effect is executed.

Next, an effect game process performed by the sub control CPU 41a will be described.
The sub-controlling CPU 41a controls at least one of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11 such that an effect game and an effect accompanying the effect game are performed. Specifically, the CPU 41a for sub-control performs control to execute the effect game when the symbol command and the variation pattern designation command are input. That is, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines a symbol combination based on an effect symbol to be finally determined and stopped in the effect game based on the variation pattern designation command and the symbol command. When the special symbol identifiable from the symbol command is a big hit symbol, the sub control CPU 41a determines a big hit symbol combination. When the special symbol identifiable from the symbol command is a lost symbol, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines a symbol combination of the lost symbol. The sub-controlling CPU 41a may determine an out-of-design symbol combination including the reach when performing the reach effect by satisfying the reach condition. In the present embodiment, the reach condition is satisfied when the variation pattern for the reach effect is designated among the loss variation patterns.

  When the sub-controlling CPU 41a inputs the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to change and display the effect symbols. That is, the sub-controlling CPU 41a starts the effect game. The variation pattern designation command can be said to be control information for instructing the start of an effect game based on the variation pattern. Then, at a predetermined timing, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to temporarily stop and display the symbol combination based on the determined effect symbol. Thereafter, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the symbol combination based on the effect symbols is fixed and stopped when the game end command is input. By the way, when the reach effect is executed, the sub-controlling CPU 41a temporarily stops and displays the effect symbols in the left and right columns so that the reach is formed at a predetermined timing during the special game. Control. When a super-reach effect is executed as a reach effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 such that a normal reach effect is executed after the reach is formed, and thereafter, a super-reach effect is executed. . The sub-controlling CPU 41a may measure a variation time that can be specified from the variation pattern, and control the symbol combination to be fixed and stopped when the variation time elapses. In this case, the game end command may be omitted.

  When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the demonstration command, the effect display is performed such that the effect symbol displayed on the effect display device 11 is stopped and displayed in a stop mode in a standby state (for example, the effect symbol is swung right and left). The device 11 is controlled to be in a standby state. In addition, when the demonstration time has elapsed without inputting the fluctuation pattern designation command after inputting the demonstration command, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 such that the customer approaching effect is executed. For example, the customer attendance effect is an effect for notifying that the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a standby state and for obtaining a customer effect, and is also referred to as a demonstration effect (demonstration effect).

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, an effect may be executed when the operation button BT is operated. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, after the operation promoting effect for prompting the operation of the operation button BT is executed, the effect may be executed when the operation button BT is operated. In addition, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, an effect may be executed when the operation button BT is operated without performing the operation promoting effect.

  In the present embodiment, the operation promotion effect corresponds to a first effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the effect executed when the operation button BT is operated corresponds to the second effect. As described above, the effects in the present embodiment include the first effect and the second effect. Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated after the operation promoting effect is executed, and that the operation means is operated after the first effect is executed. This is equivalent to developing an effect on the first effect route in which the second effect is executed at the opportunity. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated without executing the operation promoting effect, the operation means is operated without executing the first effect. This is equivalent to that an effect is developed in a second effect route in which the second effect is executed with the opportunity.

In the present embodiment, the operation promoting effect is executed on the effect display device 11. The operation promotion effect includes a first operation promotion effect and a second operation promotion effect.
As shown in FIG. 4A, when the first operation promotion effect is executed, the effect display device 11 displays an image G1 imitating the inoperable operation button BT and a character that prompts the operation of the operation button BT. Is displayed. In the present embodiment, the first operation promoting effect is an effect that prompts the operation of the inoperable operation button BT. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the second operation promoting effect is executed, the effect display device 11 displays an image G2 imitating the operating button BT that is operating and an image MG. Is done. In the present embodiment, the second operation promoting effect can be said to be an effect for prompting the operation of the operating operation button BT. Further, in the present embodiment, the character that prompts the operation of the operation button BT is the character “press the button!” In FIGS. 4A and 4B, but is not limited thereto. , "Hit a button" or the like. In the present embodiment, the second operation promoting effect corresponds to a pre-operation effect in which the operating condition is satisfied and the operation of the operating means is prompted. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the effect executed after the operation button BT is operated after the execution of the second operation promoting effect corresponds to the post-operation effect. As described above, the effect in the present embodiment includes the effect before operation and the effect after operation.

  Hereinafter, an effect related to the operation of the operation button BT and control related to execution of the effect will be described. In the present embodiment, the effects related to the operation of the operation buttons BT include a button announcement effect, a reach button effect, a final button effect, a big hit button effect, and a standby button effect.

First, the button announcement effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B.
As shown in FIG. 5A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the button announcement effect may be executed during the execution of the effect game and before the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed. . Therefore, when the reach effect is executed in the effect game, the button announcement effect is executed before the reach effect. When a button announcement effect is executed, an operation promoting effect is executed. When the operation button BT is operated when the button advance effect is executed and the operation promoting effect is executed, the result of the button advance effect is derived. As shown in FIG. 5B, the result of the button announcement effect is derived by displaying the character image CG on the effect display device 11. The results derived in the button announcement effect in the present embodiment include a first result, a second result, a third result, and a fourth result, and are displayed on the effect display device 11 according to the result of the button announcement effect. The type of the character image CG is different. And in this embodiment, big hit expectation differs according to the result derived in the button announcement effect. Specifically, the big hit expectation of the second result is higher than the first result, the big hit expectation of the third result is higher than the second result, and the big hit expectation of the fourth result is higher than the third result. As shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, when executing the button announcement effect, the operation promoting effect is executed. That is, in executing the button announcement effect, the result of the button announcement effect is derived when the operation button BT is operated after the operation promotion effect is executed, and therefore the effect is developed in the first effect route. Will be.

  In the button announcement effect, the operation promotion effect corresponds to the first effect. In the button announcement effect, the result of the button announcement effect corresponds to the second effect. In the button announcement effect, deriving the result of the button announcement effect is equivalent to executing the second effect. When the second operation promotion effect is executed in the button announcement effect, the second operation promotion effect corresponds to the pre-operation effect, and the operation button BT is activated after the second operation promotion effect is executed in the button announcement effect. The post-operation effect is executed by deriving the result of the button announcement effect after the operation.

Here, the control related to the execution of the button announcement effect will be described.
After inputting the fluctuation pattern designation command, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether to execute the button announcement effect. For example, the sub-controlling CPU 41a may determine the execution of the button announcement effect at a probability according to the type of the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. When the execution of the button announcement effect is determined, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines the result derived in the button announcement effect. In the present embodiment, when the big hit variation pattern is specified, a result with a higher jackpot expectation is determined with a higher probability than when a loss variation pattern is specified. Further, in the present embodiment, when the variation pattern with out-of-reach reach is specified, a result with a higher jackpot expectation is determined with a higher probability than when a variation pattern without out-of-reach reach is specified. Thereafter, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines which of the first operation promotion effect and the second operation promotion effect to execute as the operation promotion effect, that is, determines the type of the operation promotion effect. The sub-controlling CPU 41a determines the type of the operation promoting effect according to the result derived in the button announcement effect. In the present embodiment, the second operation promoting effect is determined with a higher probability as the result with the higher jackpot expectation is determined as the result derived in the button announcement effect. That is, in the button announcement effect, the degree of expectation that a result with a higher jackpot expectation is derived when the second operation promotion effect is executed than when the first operation promotion effect is executed. High, and consequently, the jackpot expectation increases.

  When the execution of the button announcement effect is determined, before the effect symbol is temporarily stopped and displayed, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the operation promotion effect of the determined type is executed. At this time, when performing the second operation promoting effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the operation unit actuator SA so that the operation button BT is operated. In addition, when a detection signal is input from the operation button BT during a period from the execution of the operation promoting effect in the button announcement effect to the lapse of a predetermined button announcement time (for example, 3 seconds), the sub-control CPU 41 a The execution of the operation promotion effect is terminated, and the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the result of the button announcement effect is derived. In addition, when the detection signal from the operation button BT is not input between the time when the button advance time elapses after the operation prompting effect is executed in the button advance effect, the sub-control CPU 41a ends the execution of the operation prompt effect. On the other hand, the result of the button announcement effect is not derived. By the way, when the button announcement effect is executed, the sub-control CPU 41a assumes that the detection signal from the operation button BT is input outside the period from the start of the execution of the operation promotion effect to the elapse of the button announcement time. Does not derive the result of the button announcement effect. As described above, regarding the derivation of the result of the button announcement effect, the operation of the operation button BT related to the button announcement effect is effective only during the period from the start of the operation promotion effect to the elapse of the button announcement time. Is done. For this reason, during the execution of the operation promoting effect in the button announcement effect, it can be said that the operation period of the operation button BT is effective.

Next, the reach button effect and the final button effect will be described.
The reach button effect and the final button effect are effects that can be executed during execution of the super reach effect. In this embodiment, during execution of the super reach effect, the reach button effect is an effect that can be executed before the final button effect.

First, the reach button effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).
As shown in FIG. 6A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, during execution of the super reach effect, an effect symbol imitating the same numeral is temporarily stopped and displayed on the left and right columns, thereby forming a reach. Then, when the operation button BT is operated after the execution of the super-reach effect is started and within a period during which the reach button effect can be executed (hereinafter, referred to as a reach button effect period), the decorative lamp La emits light. , A reach button effect is executed. As shown in FIG. 6B, even if the operation button BT is operated during the reach button effect period, the display content of the effect display device 11 does not change although the decorative lamp La emits light. As shown in FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, in executing the reach button effect, the operation promoting effect is not executed. That is, when the reach button effect is executed, the reach button effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated without executing the operation promoting effect, so that the effect is developed in the second effect route. Will be. The emission colors of the decorative lamp La when the reach button effect is executed include blue, yellow, green and red. And in this embodiment, the big hit expectation differs according to the emission color of the decorative lamp La. Specifically, the big hit expectation of yellow is higher than blue, the big hit of green is higher than yellow, and the big hit of red is higher than green. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the decorative lamp La can emit red light in the reach button effect only when a big hit occurs. That is, in the present embodiment, when the decorative lamp La emits red light in the reach button effect, it can be recognized that a big hit occurs. In the reach button effect, an effect in which the decoration lamp La emits light when the operation button BT is operated corresponds to a second effect.

Here, control related to execution of the reach button effect will be described.
During execution of the super-reach effect and during the reach button effect period, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines the emission color of the decorative lamp La when receiving a detection signal from the operation button BT. In the present embodiment, when the big hit variation pattern is designated, the emission color with a high big hit expectation is determined with a higher probability than when the outfall variation pattern is designated. Further, in the present embodiment, red can be determined as the emission color of the decorative lamp La in the reach button effect only when the big hit variation pattern is specified among the big hit variation pattern and the loss variation pattern. Further, in the present embodiment, when the reach button effect has already been performed during the reach button effect period, the luminescent color in the same as the luminescent color in the reach button effect, or the luminescent color having a higher hit expectation than the luminescent color in the reach button effect. Is determined. That is, in the present embodiment, when the reach button effect has already been performed during the reach button effect period, the decorative lamp La does not emit light with a light emission color of the big hit expectation lower than that of the reach button effect executed up to that time. After determining the emission color of the decoration lamp La in the reach button effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the decoration lamp La such that the decoration lamp La emits light and the reach button effect is executed with the determined emission color. I do. By the way, if the reach effect is not in the reach button effect period even if the reach effect is being executed, the sub-controlling CPU 41a does not execute the reach button effect even if the detection signal is input from the operation button BT. As described above, regarding the execution of the reach button effect, the operation of the operation button BT related to the reach button effect is valid only during the reach button effect period. Therefore, the reach button effect period can be said to be an effective period during which the operation of the operation button BT is effective.

Next, the final button effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (c).
As shown in FIG. 7A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, during execution of the super-reach effect, an effect symbol imitating the same numeral is temporarily stopped and displayed in the left and right columns, thereby forming a reach. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the final button effect is executed at the final execution timing before the remaining one line of effect symbols is temporarily stopped and displayed in the super reach effect. When the final button effect is executed, an operation promoting effect is executed. When the operation button BT is operated while the final button effect is being executed and the operation promoting effect is being executed, the result of the final button effect is derived. The results derived in the final button effect in the present embodiment include a first final result derived in the case of a big hit and a second final result derived in the case of a loss. As shown in FIG. 7B, when the first final result is derived in the final button effect, the internal movable body 90 operates, and the effect display device 11 displays an effect corresponding to the operation of the internal movable body 90. The image EF1 is displayed. In the case where the first final result is derived in the final button effect, the symbol combination of the big hit is temporarily stopped and displayed in the effect game. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the second final result is derived in the final button effect, the internal movable body 90 does not operate, and the effect display device 11 displays an effect image different from the effect image EF1. EF2 is displayed. When the second final result is derived in the final button effect, the lost symbol combination is temporarily stopped and displayed in the effect game. As shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, when executing the final button effect, the operation promoting effect is executed. That is, in executing the final button effect, when the operation button BT is operated after the operation promoting effect is executed, the result of the final button effect is derived, so that the effect is developed in the first effect route. Will be.

  In the final button effect, the operation promoting effect corresponds to the first effect. In the final button effect, the result of the final button effect corresponds to the second effect. In the final button effect, deriving the result of the final button effect corresponds to executing the second effect. When the second operation promotion effect is executed in the final button effect, the second operation promotion effect corresponds to the pre-operation effect, and the operation button BT is activated after the second operation promotion effect is executed in the final button effect. The post-operation effect is executed by deriving the result of the final button effect after the operation.

Here, the control related to the execution of the final button effect will be described.
When performing the super-reach effect, the sub-control CPU 41a determines which of the first operation-promoting effect and the second operation-promoting effect is to be executed as the operation-promoting effect in the final button effect, that is, determines the type of the operation promoting effect. I do. In the present embodiment, the second operation promoting effect is determined with a higher probability when the big hit variation pattern is specified (when a big hit) is specified than when the miss variation pattern is specified (when a big hit). You. That is, in the final button effect, the big hit expectation is higher when the second operation promoting effect is executed than when the first operation promoting effect is executed.

  Then, at the final execution timing, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the operation promotion effect of the determined type is executed. At this time, when performing the second operation promoting effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the operation unit actuator SA so that the operation button BT is operated. When a detection signal is input from the operation button BT during a period from the execution of the operation promoting effect in the final button effect to the lapse of a predetermined final button time (for example, 5 seconds), the sub control CPU 41 a The effect display device 11 is controlled so that the execution of the operation promoting effect is terminated and the result of the final button effect is derived. When deriving the first final result, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the second effect actuator EA2 such that the internal movable body 90 operates. Further, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the effect image EF1 is displayed. On the other hand, when deriving the second final result, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the effect image EF2 is displayed. When the detection signal from the operation button BT is not input between the time when the operation promotion effect is executed in the final button effect and the time when the final button time elapses, the sub control CPU 41a ends the execution of the operation promotion effect. On the other hand, the result of the final button effect is not derived. In this case, although the result of the final button effect is not derived, the effect display device 11 temporarily stops and displays the symbol combination of the big hit or the missing symbol combination. By the way, in the case where the final button effect is executed, the sub-controlling CPU 41a assumes that the detection signal from the operation button BT is input outside the period from the start of the operation promoting effect to the end of the last button time. Does not derive the result of the final button effect. Thus, regarding the derivation of the result of the final button effect, the operation of the operation button BT related to the final button effect is effective only during the period from the start of the operation promoting effect to the end of the final button time. Is done. Therefore, it can be said that the operation period of the operation button BT is valid during the execution of the operation promoting effect in the final button effect.

Next, the big hit button effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c).
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, during the occurrence of a big hit game, a big hit button effect is executed. In the present embodiment, a big hit button effect is executed in the third round game in the big hit game. When the big hit button effect is executed, the operation promoting effect is executed. When the operation button BT is operated while the jackpot button effect is executed and the operation promoting effect is executed, the result of the jackpot button effect is derived. The result derived in the jackpot button effect in the present embodiment, a high probability result derived when controlled to a high probability state, a low probability result derived when controlled to a low probability state, There is. As shown in FIG. 8B, when a high probability result is derived in the big hit button effect, the upper movable body 80 operates, and the effect display device 11 notifies the effect display device 11 that the state is controlled to the high probability state. Ga is displayed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the low probability result is derived in the big hit button effect, the upper movable body 80 does not operate, and the effect display device 11 is notified that the high probability state is not controlled. Image Gb is displayed. As shown in FIGS. 8A to 8C, in executing the big hit button effect, the operation promoting effect is executed. That is, in executing the jackpot button effect, when the operation button BT is operated after the operation promoting effect is executed, the result of the jackpot button effect is derived, so that the effect is developed in the first effect route. Will be.

  In the big hit button effect, the operation promotion effect corresponds to the first effect. In the big hit button effect, the result of the big hit button effect corresponds to the second effect. In the big hit button effect, deriving the result of the big hit button effect is equivalent to executing the second effect. Further, when the second operation promoting effect is executed in the big hit button effect, the second operation promoting effect corresponds to the pre-operation effect, and the operation button BT is activated after the second operation promoting effect is executed in the big hit button effect. The post-operation effect is executed by deriving the result of the jackpot button effect after the operation.

Here, the control related to the execution of the big hit button effect will be described.
Before the third round game in the big hit game is started, the sub-control CPU 41a executes any one of the first operation promoting effect and the second operation promoting effect as the operation promoting effect in the big hit button effect, That is, the type of the operation promotion effect is determined. In the present embodiment, when a big hit game based on the first big hit symbol is being played (when the game is controlled to the high probability state), and when a big hit based on the second big hit symbol is being played (when the game is not controlled to the high probability state). Then, the second operation promoting effect is determined with a high probability. That is, in the case of the big hit button effect, the degree of expectation of being controlled to the high probability state is higher when the second operation promoting effect is executed than when the first operation promoting effect is executed.

  Then, in the third round game of the jackpot game, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the determined type of operation promotion effect is executed. At this time, when performing the second operation promoting effect, the sub control CPU 41a controls the operation unit actuator SA so that the operation button BT is operated. When a detection signal is input from the operation button BT during a period from the execution of the operation promoting effect in the big hit button effect to the lapse of a predetermined big hit button time (for example, 8 seconds), the sub control CPU 41a The execution of the operation promotion effect is terminated, and the effect display device 11 is controlled so that the result of the big hit button effect is derived. When deriving a high probability result, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the first effect actuator EA1 so that the upper movable body 80 operates. Furthermore, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the image Ga is displayed. On the other hand, when deriving the low probability result, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the image Gb is displayed. In addition, when the detection signal from the operation button BT is not input between the time when the jackpot button time elapses after the operation promotion effect is executed in the big hit button effect, the sub control CPU 41a ends the execution of the operation promotion effect. On the other hand, the result of the jackpot button effect is not derived. By the way, in the case where the big hit button effect is executed, the sub-control CPU 41a assumes that the detection signal from the operation button BT is input outside the period from the start of the operation promoting effect to the elapse of the big hit button time. Does not derive the jackpot button effect results. As described above, regarding the derivation of the result of the big hit button effect, the operation of the operation button BT related to the big hit button effect is effective only during a period from the start of the operation promoting effect to the elapse of the big hit button time. Is done. For this reason, it can be said that the operation period of the operation button BT is valid during the operation promotion effect in the big hit button effect.

Next, the standby button effect will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A and 9B.
As shown in FIG. 9A, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, when in the standby state, the effect display device 11 executes a customer approaching effect. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), when the operation button BT is operated during the execution period of the customer draw effect, a heart image G10 imitating a heart is displayed on the effect display device 11, and a standby button effect is executed. You. As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, in executing the standby button effect, the operation promoting effect is not executed. That is, in executing the standby button effect, the standby button effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated without executing the operation promoting effect, so that the effect is developed in the second effect route. Will be. In the standby button effect, an effect in which the heart image G10 is displayed when the operation button BT is operated corresponds to a second effect.

  In the present embodiment, the effect display device 11, the decorative lamp La, the upper movable body 80, and the inner movable body 90 function as an effect executing means for executing an effect. It should be noted that a predetermined sound (for example, a sound effect) may be output from the speaker Sp when performing the effect. In this case, the speaker Sp also functions as the effect executing means. Further, since the operation button BT corresponding to the operation means can be operated when the execution of the second operation promotion effect is determined, in the present embodiment, the operation is performed by determining the execution of the second operation promotion effect. When the condition is satisfied and the operation condition is satisfied, the operation button BT is operable.

Here, control related to execution of the standby button effect will be described.
During the execution period of the customer waiting effect, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that when a detection signal is input from the operation button BT, the heart image G10 is displayed and the standby button effect is executed. By the way, when the standby state is not in the execution period of the customer waiting effect, the sub-controlling CPU 41a does not execute the standby button effect even if the detection signal is input from the operation button BT. As described above, regarding the execution of the standby button effect, the operation of the operation button BT related to the standby button effect is valid only during the execution period of the customer waiting effect. For this reason, it can be said that the standby button effect period is a valid period in which the operation of the operation button BT is valid.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, it is possible to notify a magnetic detection error when magnetism is detected by the magnetic sensor JS, and to notify a vibration detection error when vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Is configured. In the present embodiment, the case where magnetism is detected by the magnetic sensor JS corresponds to the case where occurrence of a magnetic detection error is detected. In this embodiment, the case where the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS corresponds to the case where the occurrence of a vibration detection error is detected.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, when a magnetic detection error is notified in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect display device 11 displays a first error image EG1 relating to the magnetic detection error. The magnetic detection error is also called a magnetic sensor error. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when a vibration detection error is notified in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the effect display device 11 displays a second error image EG2 relating to the vibration detection error. In the present embodiment, when a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means and an error notification condition is satisfied, a vibration detection error may be reported. The vibration detection error is also called a vibration sensor error. As described above, in the present embodiment, the effect display device 11 notifies the vibration detection error by displaying the second error image EG2. Therefore, the effect display device 11 functions as an error notification unit that notifies the vibration detection error. Implement the function.

Hereinafter, control relating to detection of magnetism and control relating to detection of vibration will be described.
First, control related to detection of magnetism will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, when a detection signal from the magnetic sensor JS is input, the main control CPU 40a executes a security signal output process. In the security signal output process, the main control CPU 40a outputs a security signal. The security signal corresponds to an external signal output from the specific connection terminal when the specific connection terminal among the connection terminals of the external terminal board 70 is connected to the external device. When a detection signal from the magnetic sensor JS is input, the main control CPU 40a executes a process of outputting a magnetic detection command. In the output process of the magnetism detection command, the main control CPU 40a stores the magnetism detection command in the output buffer as control information that can specify that magnetism has been detected.

  Then, when the magnetic detection command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a executes a notification process of a magnetic detection error. In the notification process of the magnetic detection error, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so as to display the first error image EG1, and notifies the magnetic detection error. As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when magnetism is detected even once by the magnetic sensor JS, a security signal is output and a magnetic detection error is reported.

Next, control related to detection of vibration will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, when a detection signal from the vibration sensor SS is input, the main control CPU 40a executes a security signal output process. In the present embodiment, security signal output processing is executed regardless of whether a detection signal is input from the magnetic sensor JS or a detection signal is input from the vibration sensor SS. A security signal is output from a specific connection terminal in. When a detection signal from the vibration sensor SS is input, the main control CPU 40a executes a process of outputting a vibration detection command. In the process of outputting the vibration detection command, the main control CPU 40a stores the vibration detection command in the output buffer as control information that can specify that the vibration has been detected.

  When the vibration detection command is input, the sub control CPU 41a may update the number of times of vibration detection stored in the sub control RAM 41c. When updating the number of times of vibration detection, the sub-controlling CPU 41a adds 1 to the number of times of vibration detection and updates the number of times of vibration detection. In the present embodiment, the number of times of vibration detection corresponds to the number of times of detection of vibration by the vibration sensor SS. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the vibration detection information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, so that the function as a counting unit that counts the number of times the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting unit is performed. Is achieved.

  Note that the sub-controlling CPU 41a initializes the number of times of vibration detection when the condition for initializing the number of times of vibration detection is satisfied. Specifically, the sub-controlling CPU 41a measures the update upper limit time after updating the number of times of vibration detection, and when a predetermined update condition time (for example, 3 minutes) elapses without updating the vibration update information, An initial value “0 (zero)” is set for the number of times, and the number of times of vibration detection is initialized. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a predetermined update upper limit time (for example, 5 minutes) elapses without updating the vibration detection frequency after the vibration detection frequency is updated, the initialization condition is satisfied. As described above, when the initialization condition is satisfied, the vibration detection information counted by updating the vibration detection information stored in the sub-control RAM 41c by the sub-control CPU 41a is initialized. That is, in the present embodiment, when the initialization condition is satisfied, the number of detections counted by the counting unit is initialized.

  In the present embodiment, the update upper limit time is longer than the maximum time (for example, three minutes) required for one special game. That is, the update upper limit time is longer than the time required for the button announcement effect (for example, 10 seconds). Further, the update upper limit time is longer than the time required for the final button effect (for example, 5 seconds). The maximum time required for one special game can be said to be the maximum time required for one special game. In addition, the update upper limit time in the present embodiment is set to a time longer than the time required for the big hit button effect (for example, 25 seconds).

  Then, when a vibration detection command is input (when vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS) and the error notification condition is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a executes a vibration detection error notification process. . In the present embodiment, the error notification condition is satisfied when the updated number of vibration detections reaches a predetermined number (for example, five times). That is, in the present embodiment, when the number of detections reaches a predetermined number, the error notification condition can be satisfied. Incidentally, the satisfaction of the error notification condition corresponds to the establishment of the error notification condition, and the failure to satisfy the error notification condition corresponds to the failure of the error notification condition (or non-establishment). In the notification process of the vibration detection error, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 so that the second error image EG2 is displayed. As described above, in the present embodiment, the vibration detection error is reported by executing the process of reporting the vibration detection error.

  By the way, if the vibration detection error notification process is executed and the vibration detection error is reported and the initialization condition of the number of vibration detections is satisfied, the sub-control CPU 41a initializes the number of vibration detections, Will not be canceled. In other words, during the notification of the vibration detection error, the notification of the vibration detection error does not end even if the initialization condition of the number of times of vibration detection is satisfied. Therefore, the effect display device 11 continuously reports the vibration detection error even if the initialization condition is satisfied when the vibration detection error is reported. That is, in the present embodiment, the error notifying unit continuously notifies the vibration detection error even if the initialization condition is satisfied when notifying the vibration detection error.

  In this embodiment, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command, the number of times of vibration detection may be updated, or the number of times of vibration detection may not be updated. That is, in the present embodiment, even if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration, the error notification condition may not be satisfied and the vibration detection error may not be reported.

  Hereinafter, a situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the vibration detection command is input will be described. In the present embodiment, the situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated when vibration is detected is a situation where the notification of the vibration detection error is not allowed or a situation where the notification of the vibration detection error is restricted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the situation in which the number of times of vibration detection is updated when vibration is detected is a situation in which the notification of the vibration detection error is permitted or a situation in which the notification of the vibration detection error is not limited.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command includes a state where an operation promoting effect is being executed. Therefore, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the first operation promotion effect or the second operation promotion effect is being executed, that is, when the operation promotion effect is being executed, Do not update. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first effect is executed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting unit, the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not notified.

  In a situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the vibration detection command, the effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated after the operation promoting effect is executed. There are situations. Here, “the situation in which the effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated after the operation promotion effect is executed” refers to the situation in which the result is derived in the button announcement effect, or the final button effect. , The result is derived, and the jackpot button effect is executed. Therefore, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether the result of the button announcement effect is being derived, the result of the final button effect is being derived, or the result of the jackpot button effect is being derived. Do not update the vibration detection count. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second effect is being performed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, the error notification condition may not be satisfied and the vibration detection error may not be notified.

  In the present embodiment, even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command, in a situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated, a situation in which a button announcement effect is executed or a final button effect is executed. There is a situation where a jackpot button effect is being executed. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the state in which the reach button effect is executed or the state in which the standby button effect is executed are not updated even if the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command. This does not correspond to a situation, but corresponds to a situation where the number of times of vibration detection is updated when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command. For example, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub control CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection during the reach button effect period. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection when the vibration detection command is input, regardless of whether the reach button effect is being executed. Similarly, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection when the customer waiting effect is being executed, that is, when it is a period in which the standby button effect can be executed. At this time, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection when the vibration detection command is input, regardless of whether the standby button effect is being executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when an effect is developed in the first effect route, such as the button announcement effect, the final button effect, and the big hit button effect, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, The error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not notified. That is, in the present embodiment, when an effect is developed on the first effect route, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting means, the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not notified. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when an effect is developed on the second effect route, such as the reach button effect and the standby button effect, when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the number of times of vibration detection is updated. As a result, the error notification condition may be satisfied and a vibration detection error may be reported. That is, in the present embodiment, when an effect is developed in the second effect route, even when the second effect is being executed, the error notification condition is satisfied when the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting unit. In some cases, a vibration detection error is notified.

  The situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the vibration detection command is input by the sub-control CPU 41a includes a state where the operation button BT is operated within a predetermined period. In the present embodiment, “within a predetermined period after the operation of the operation button BT” refers to within a period from when the operation of the operation button BT is operated until a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses. Therefore, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a does not update the number of times of vibration detection within a predetermined period after inputting the detection signal from the operation button BT. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a measures a predetermined time when the detection signal is input from the operation button BT, and specifies that the measurement is within the predetermined time when the measurement is being performed for the predetermined time. Incidentally, the predetermined time in the present embodiment is longer than the time required for the reach button effect (the time during which the decorative lamp La emits light). Further, the predetermined time in the present embodiment is longer than the time required for the standby button effect (the time during which the heart image G10 is displayed).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the operation unit is operated within a predetermined period, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not notified. That is, in the present embodiment, a vibration detection error is not notified within a predetermined period after the operation of the operation unit, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the case where an effect is developed on the first effect route, a vibration detection error is not reported within a predetermined period after the operation means is operated even if vibration is detected by the vibration detection means. .

  By the way, as described above, when an effect is developed in the second effect route such as a reach button effect and a standby button effect, when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the number of times of vibration detection is updated. If a vibration is detected within a predetermined period after the operation button BT is operated, the number of times of vibration detection is not updated. That is, in the present embodiment, even when the effect is developed on the second effect route, when the vibration is detected, the error notification condition may not be satisfied and the vibration detection error may not be notified.

  The situation in which the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command includes a state in which the operation button BT is operating. The situation in which the operation button BT is operating is intended not only to a situation in which the operation button BT is moving to a position different from the origin, but also to a situation in which the operation button BT is not located at the origin. , The operation button BT is operated within a specific period. Therefore, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the operation unit actuator SA to operate the operation button BT, that is, within a specific period after operating the operation unit actuator SA. At this time, the number of times of vibration detection is not updated. As described above, in the present embodiment, during a specific period after the operating condition is satisfied and the operation unit operates, even if vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, no vibration detection error is notified. Incidentally, when the operation button BT is operated in the present embodiment, when the execution of the second operation promoting effect is determined, that is, when the operating condition is satisfied, the pre-operation effect that prompts the operation of the operating means is not performed. It is when it is running. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation condition is satisfied and the pre-operation effect prompting the operation of the operation unit is being performed, the error notification condition is not satisfied even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit. Vibration detection error is not reported.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the vibration detection command during the entire period from the start of the operation of the operation button BT to the end of the operation of the operation button BT. Also states that the number of times of vibration detection is not updated. However, a part of the period from the start of the operation of the operation button BT to the end of the operation of the operation button BT, even if the vibration detection command is input by the sub-control CPU 41a, May not be updated. For example, the period from the start of the operation of the operation button BT to the elapse of a predetermined time may be a state in which the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command.

  A situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command includes a state where the upper movable body 80 is operating. The state in which the upper movable body 80 is operating is not limited to a state in which the upper movable body 80 is moving to a position different from the origin, but also a situation in which the upper movable body 80 is not located at the origin. It is. In the present embodiment, the entire period from the start of the operation of the upper movable body 80 to the end of the operation of the upper movable body 80 is the case where the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the vibration detection command. Also states that the number of times of vibration detection is not updated. Therefore, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub control CPU 41a does not update the number of times of vibration detection when the first effect actuator EA1 is controlled to operate the upper movable body 80. As described above, in the present embodiment, the error notification condition is satisfied even if vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit in all of the periods after the operation of the upper movable body 80 as the specific movable body starts. No vibration detection error is reported.

  Incidentally, even when the vibration detection command is input by the sub-controlling CPU 41a, the situation in which the number of times of vibration detection is not updated depends on the period from the start of the operation of the upper movable body 80 to the end of the operation of the upper movable body 80. May be a part of the period. For example, the period from the start of the operation of the upper movable body 80 to the elapse of a predetermined time may be a situation in which the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command. . In this case, during a part of the period after the operation of the upper movable body 80 as a specific movable body starts, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting means, the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not satisfied. Will not be notified.

  A situation where the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command includes a state where the internal movable body 90 is operating. The state in which the internal movable body 90 is operating is not limited to the state in which the internal movable body 90 is moving to a position different from the origin, but also the situation in which the internal movable body 90 is not located at the origin. It is. In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command during the entire period from the start of the operation of the internal movable body 90 to the end of the operation of the internal movable body 90. Also states that the number of times of vibration detection is not updated. Therefore, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub control CPU 41a does not update the number of times of vibration detection when the second effect actuator EA2 is controlled to operate the internal movable body 90. As described above, in the present embodiment, the error notification condition is satisfied even if vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit in all of the periods after the operation of the internal movable body 90 as the specific movable body starts. No vibration detection error is reported.

  Incidentally, even when the vibration detection command is input by the sub-controlling CPU 41a, the situation in which the number of times of vibration detection is not updated is a period from the start of the operation of the internal movable body 90 to the end of the operation of the internal movable body 90. May be a part of the period. For example, the period from the start of the operation of the internal movable body 90 to the elapse of a predetermined time may be a situation in which the number of times of vibration detection is not updated even when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command. . In this case, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection means during a part of the period after the operation of the internal movable body 90 as the specific movable body is started, the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not satisfied. Will not be notified.

  In the situation described below, the number of times of vibration detection is updated when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command. Note that the situation described below is merely an example, and other than the situation shown in FIG. 12, when a vibration detection command is input, the sub control CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection. When the updated number of vibration detections reaches a predetermined number, the sub-controlling CPU 41a controls the effect display device 11 to notify a vibration detection error.

  The situation where the number of times of vibration detection is updated when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the vibration detection command includes, for example, a state where a big hit game is occurring and outside the period in which the big hit button effect is executed. In other words, even when a big hit game is occurring, if the vibration detection command is input during a time outside the period in which the big hit button effect is being executed, the sub control CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection. Thereby, when vibration such as the pachinko gaming machine 10 is shaken during occurrence of the big hit game, the vibration detection error is notified by updating the number of times of vibration detection. By the way, since the update upper limit time required for establishing the initialization condition is longer than the time required for the big hit button effect, the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be shaken from before the execution of the big hit button effect to after the execution. Also, it is possible to notify a vibration detection error. Therefore, even if the big hit button effect is executed during the occurrence of the big hit game and the number of times of vibration detection is temporarily not updated, it is possible to suppress the act of swinging the pachinko gaming machine 10 during the occurrence of the big hit game. it can.

  In addition, when the vibration detection command is input by the sub-controlling CPU 41a, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, for example, even when the special game is being executed, outside the period in which the button announcement effect is executed. In addition, there is a situation in which the final button effect is out of the execution period. In other words, even when the special game is being executed, if the vibration detection command is input during a period outside the period in which the button announcement effect is being executed and outside the period in which the final button effect is being executed, the sub control The CPU 41a updates the number of times of vibration detection. Thereby, when vibration such as the pachinko gaming machine 10 is shaken during execution of the special game, the vibration detection error is notified by updating the number of times of vibration detection. By the way, since the update upper limit time required for establishing the initialization condition is longer than the time required for one special game, even when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is shaken over a plurality of special games, , It is possible to notify a vibration detection error. Therefore, even if the number of vibration detections is temporarily not updated due to the execution of the button announcement effect and the final button effect, it is possible to suppress the action of the pachinko gaming machine 10 being shaken during the execution of the special game. it can.

  Hereinafter, the execution of various effects during the execution of the special game and the manner of updating the number of times of vibration detection will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 13, the normal reach effect and the super reach effect are executed in the effect game, and the button notice effect is executed before the reach effect is executed (in FIG. 13, indicated as “before reach”). I do.

  As illustrated in FIG. 13, the vibration sensor SS vibrates at a timing t11 before the execution of the reach effect after the execution of the special game is started and before the button announcement effect is executed. Is detected, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and a vibration detection error may be notified. On the other hand, it is assumed that the operation button BT is operated at a timing t12 after the first operation promoting effect in the button announcement effect is executed and the operation of the operation button BT is urged before the reach effect is executed. At this timing t12, since the first operation promotion effect is being performed, even if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration by operating the operation button BT at timing t12, the number of times of vibration detection is not updated, and a vibration detection error occurs. Not notified.

  Further, when the operation button BT is operated at the timing t12, the result of the button announcement effect is derived. In FIG. 13, it is assumed that the third result is derived as a result of the button announcement effect. When the vibration sensor SS detects vibration at timing t13 when the result of the button announcement effect is derived, the number of times of vibration detection is not updated, and no vibration detection error is notified. On the other hand, when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration at the timing t14 after the end of the button announcement effect and before the reach effect is executed, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and a vibration detection error is notified. There are cases. Similarly, when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration at the timing t15 during the execution of the normal reach effect, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and a vibration detection error may be notified.

  If the vibration sensor SS detects vibration at timing t16 before the reach button effect period in which the reach button effect can be executed after the super reach effect has been executed after the normal reach effect, the vibration detection frequency is updated, A vibration detection error may be reported. Note that even if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration at the timing t17 during the reach button effect period, the number of times of vibration detection may be updated and a vibration detection error may be reported. During the execution of the super reach effect, if the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration at the timing t18 after the end of the reach button effect period and before the final button effect is executed, the vibration detection frequency is updated. In some cases, a vibration detection error is notified.

  It is assumed that the second operation promoting effect in the final button effect is executed during the execution of the super reach effect. In this case, even if the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration at the timing t19 due to the operation of the operation button BT in the second operation promotion effect, the number of times of the vibration detection is not updated, and the vibration detection error is not notified. It is also assumed that the operation button BT is operated at timing t20 after the second operation promotion effect in the final button effect is executed and the operation of the operation button BT is prompted. At the timing t20, since the second operation promotion effect is being executed, even if the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration by the operation of the operation button BT at the timing t20, the number of times of the vibration detection is not updated, and the vibration detection error occurs. Not notified. Further, when the operation button BT is operated at the timing t20, when the first final result is derived as a result of the final button effect, the internal movable body 90 operates. For example, at timing t21 when the inner movable body 90 is operating with the derivation of the first final result, even if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration by operating the inner movable body 90, the number of times of vibration detection Is not updated and no vibration detection error is reported.

  Incidentally, even at the timings t11 and t14 to t18 described above, the number of times of vibration detection is limited only when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration within a predetermined period after the operation button BT is operated. It is not updated and no vibration detection error is reported.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the operation promotion effect (first effect) for prompting the operation of the operation button BT as the operation means is being executed, it is assumed that the operation button BT is operated, and the gaming machine vibrates due to the operation. May be lost. Therefore, when the operation promoting effect is being executed, the vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the vibration detection error is notified despite the operation of the operation button BT and the interest is reduced.

  (2) When the effect of the button announcement effect is derived or the result of the final button effect, as the effect (second effect) executed when the operation button BT as the operating means is operated is being executed. Is derived, or the result of the jackpot button effect is derived. When the result of such a button announcement effect is derived, when the result of the final button effect is derived, or when the result of the jackpot button effect is derived, the operation button BT is already operated. However, there is a possibility that the gaming machine is vibrating due to the operation. Therefore, when the result of the button announcement effect is derived, when the result of the final button effect is derived, or when the result of the big hit button effect is derived, the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means is used. Vibration detection error is not reported even if vibration is detected by the Thereby, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the vibration detection error is notified even though the operation button BT is operated and the interest is reduced, and the like.

  (3) When the operation button BT as the operation means operates, the gaming machine vibrates with the operation, and the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detection means may detect the vibration. In addition, it is conceivable that the force for operating the operated operation button BT becomes larger than the force for operating the non-operated operation button BT, and that the gaming machine may vibrate due to the operation of the operation button BT. Can be For this reason, when the second operation promoting effect (the pre-operation effect prompting the operation of the operating means when the operating condition is satisfied) is being executed, the operated operation button BT is operated to cause the gaming machine to operate. May vibrate. Therefore, when the second operation promotion effect is being performed, a vibration detection error is not notified even if vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a situation in which a vibration detection error is notified despite the operated operation button BT and the interest is reduced, thereby reducing the interest.

  Further, even after the execution of the second operation promoting effect and when the effect (after-operation effect) executed after the operation button BT is operated, the operated operation button BT is operated. This may cause the gaming machine to vibrate. Therefore, when an effect (after-operation effect) executed after the second operation promoting effect is executed and the operation button BT is operated is executed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the vibration is detected. Errors are no longer reported. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a situation in which a vibration detection error is notified despite the operated operation button BT and the interest is reduced, thereby reducing the interest.

  (4) When an effect is developed on the first effect route, the operation of the operation button BT as the operation means is prompted by executing the operation promoting effect as the first effect. As described above, even if the operation of the operation button BT is prompted, if a vibration detection error is notified by the vibration due to the operation of the operation button BT, the interest may be significantly reduced. Therefore, in the case where an effect is developed in the first effect route, when an operation promoting effect is being executed, a vibration detection error is not notified even if a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means. did. As a result, even though the operation promotion effect is executed and the operation of the operation button BT is promoted, a vibration detection error is notified due to the operation of the operation button BT and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  Further, in the case where an effect is developed in the first effect route, it is assumed that an effect (second effect) that is executed when the operation button BT is operated after execution of the operation promoting effect is being executed, for example, When the result of the notice button effect is derived, a vibration detection error is not notified even if vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. As a result, even though the operation promotion effect is executed and the operation of the operation button BT is promoted, a vibration detection error is notified due to the operation of the operation button BT and the interest is reduced. Can be suppressed.

  On the other hand, in the situation where the effect is developed in the second effect route, the operation promoting effect is not executed and the operation of the operation button BT is not prompted. Such vibration of the gaming machine in a situation where the operation of the operation button BT is not prompted is more difficult than that of a gaming machine vibrating in a situation where the operation of the operation button BT is promoted. It is unlikely that the BT is operated and the gaming machine is vibrating. Therefore, in a situation where an effect is developed in the second effect route, the effect (second effect) executed by operating the operation button BT is, for example, when a standby button effect is being executed. Even when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the error notification condition is satisfied and a vibration detection error may be reported. Thus, if the operation button BT is operated and vibration is detected in a state where it is unlikely that the gaming machine is vibrating, a vibration detection error can be notified, and for example, the gaming machine is vibrated by hitting or the like. Acts can be suppressed. As described above, it is possible to suppress the act of vibrating the gaming machine by hitting the gaming machine or the like, and to suppress a decrease in interest.

  (5) When the upper movable body 80 corresponding to a specific movable body operates, the gaming machine may vibrate due to the operation. In particular, when the upper movable body 80 provided in the front frame Y3 operates in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in which the outer frame Y1 is fixed to the installation facility, it is conceivable that the operation may easily cause the gaming machine to vibrate. Therefore, during a period after the operation of the upper movable body 80 starts, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means, the vibration detection error is not notified. As described above, in a situation where the gaming machine may be vibrating due to the operation of the upper movable body 80, the vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Thus, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the vibration detection error is notified despite the operation of the upper movable body 80 and the interest is reduced.

  (6) When the internal movable body 90 corresponding to a specific movable body operates, the operation may cause the gaming machine to vibrate. In particular, in the game board unit in which the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means is arranged on the back side, when the internal movable body 90 arranged on the front side of the game board unit operates, the vibration due to the operation is generated by the vibration sensor SS. It may be detected. Therefore, during the period after the operation of the internal movable body 90 starts, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the vibration detection error is not notified. As described above, in a situation where there is a possibility that the gaming machine is vibrating due to the operation of the internal movable body 90, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the vibration detection error is not notified. Thus, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the vibration detection error is notified despite the operation of the internal movable body 90 and the interest is reduced, and the like.

  (7) In addition to the period after the upper movable body 80 and the inner movable body 90 operate, when the operation promotion effect for prompting the operation of the operation button BT is being executed or when the operation button BT is operated Even when the effect to be executed is being executed, the vibration detection error is not notified even when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration. Thereby, while suppressing the vibration detection error from being notified by the vibration due to the operation of the upper movable body 80 and the internal movable body 90, thereby reducing the interest, the vibration detection error due to the vibration due to the operation of the operation button BT is reduced. It is possible to suppress a situation in which a notification is given and the interest is reduced.

  (8) Even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means, the vibration detection error is not notified because the error notification condition is not satisfied. As described above, when the vibration detection error is not notified, the error notification condition is not satisfied even if the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration. Accordingly, in a situation where a vibration detection error is not reported even when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration, control is performed so that the error reporting condition is not satisfied, thereby eliminating the control of determining whether the error reporting condition is satisfied. Control can be simplified, and the control load can be reduced. In particular, since the error notification condition is not satisfied by not updating the number of times of vibration detection, the process of updating the number of times of vibration detection can be omitted, and even though the number of times of vibration detection has reached the predetermined number of times. It is not necessary to perform a process for preventing a vibration detection error from being notified.

  (9) When the gaming machine vibrates due to the operation of the operation button BT as the operating means, it can be assumed that the gaming machine continues to vibrate during a predetermined period. Therefore, during a predetermined period after the operation button BT is operated, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detecting means, the vibration detection error is not notified. Thus, even if the gaming machine continues to vibrate due to the operation of the operation button BT, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the vibration detection error is notified and the interest is reduced. .

  (10) When the initialization condition is satisfied, the number of times of vibration detection (the number of times of detection) is initialized. Since the number of times of vibration detection is initialized when the initialization condition is satisfied, the number of times of vibration detection approaches the predetermined number as the game time becomes longer, and the error notification condition is satisfied, as compared to the case where the initialization is not performed. It is possible to suppress the situation that the user is likely to fall into the situation.

  (11) If the notified vibration detection error ends when the initialization condition is satisfied while the vibration detection error is being reported, it appears as if the vibration detection error was reported by a malfunction. There is a possibility that it will be. Therefore, even if the initialization condition is satisfied while the vibration detection error is being reported, by continuously reporting the vibration detection error, it appears as if the vibration detection error is reported by a malfunction. Can be suppressed.

  (12) Since a security signal is output in common regardless of whether magnetism is detected or vibration is detected, the security signal alone specifies which of magnetism and vibration is detected. It is difficult. However, when a vibration detection error is notified, when a security signal is output, it is possible to specify that the output of the security signal is due to the detection of vibration.

  (13) The vibration detection error is not notified unless the number of times of vibration detection reaches the predetermined number, and is not notified depending on the situation where the vibration is detected. As described above, since the vibration detection error is notified in consideration of the number of times the vibration is detected and the situation in which the vibration is detected, the notification of the vibration detection error may reduce the interest of the player. Can be suppressed. On the other hand, when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration, the security signal is output regardless of the number of times the vibration sensor SS has detected the vibration or the situation where the vibration sensor SS has detected the vibration. That is, since the security signal is output without considering the number of times the vibration is detected and the situation in which the vibration is detected, for example, an act of vibrating the gaming machine illegally is given to a game arcade manager. Since the possibility of being violated can be transmitted by the security signal, it is possible to prevent the player from overlooking the act of vibrating the gaming machine illegally. In other words, it is possible to prevent the manager from overlooking the discovery of an act of illegally vibrating the gaming machine while suppressing the player from deteriorating the interest.

(2nd Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the gaming machine will be described. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions and drawings are omitted.

  In the first embodiment, in a configuration in which a vibration detection error is not notified even when vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, an error notification condition is not satisfied even if vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. , The vibration detection error is not notified. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, when the vibration detection error is not notified even when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration, the error notification condition is satisfied when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration. It was configured to be able to. Then, in the second embodiment, when the vibration detection error is not notified even when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration, the error notification condition is satisfied when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration. Even if the vibration is detected, the vibration detection error is not reported, so that the vibration detection error is not reported.

  In the second embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the number of vibration detections stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the vibration detection command is input even in a situation where the number of vibration detections shown in FIG. 12 is not updated. . Then, after updating the number of times of vibration detection, the sub-control CPU 41a determines whether or not the error notification condition is satisfied, that is, even if the number of times of vibration detection after the update has reached the predetermined number of times, the vibration detection shown in FIG. If the frequency is not updated, the process of notifying of the vibration detection error is not performed. On the other hand, after the update of the number of vibration detections, the sub control CPU 41a determines that the error notification condition is satisfied, that is, if the updated number of vibration detections has reached the predetermined number, the number of vibration detections shown in FIG. If the status is not updated, a notification process of a vibration detection error is executed. That is, in the second embodiment, the situation in which the number of times of vibration detection illustrated in FIG. 12 in the first embodiment is not updated corresponds to a situation in which a vibration detection error is not reported even when the error reporting condition is satisfied.

  Therefore, in the second embodiment, when a vibration detection command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a is executing the first operation promoting effect or the second operation promoting effect, that is, executing the operation promoting effect. At this time, although the number of times of vibration detection is updated, even if the number of times of vibration detection after the update reaches a predetermined number, notification processing of a vibration detection error is not executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the first effect is being executed, the vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit and the error notification condition is satisfied. In addition, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a determines whether the button announcement effect is being derived, the final button effect is being derived, or the jackpot button result is being derived. Although the number of times of vibration detection is updated, even if the updated number of times of vibration detection reaches a predetermined number, notification processing of a vibration detection error is not executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the second effect is being performed, the vibration detection error may not be notified even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit and the error notification condition is satisfied.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when an effect is developed in the first effect route such as a button announcement effect, a final button effect, and a big hit button effect, vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS and an error occurs. Even if the notification condition is satisfied, no vibration detection error is notified. That is, in the present embodiment, when an effect is developed on the first effect route, a vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit and the error notification condition is satisfied. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, when an effect is developed in the second effect route as in the case of the reach button effect and the standby button effect, if the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS and the error notification condition is satisfied, the vibration is performed. A detection error may be reported. That is, in the second embodiment, when an effect is developed on the second effect route, even when the second effect is being executed, if the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting unit, the error notification condition is changed. It may be satisfied and a vibration detection error may be reported.

  When the vibration detection command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a updates the number of vibration detections within a predetermined period after inputting the detection signal from the operation button BT. Even if the predetermined number of times has been reached, the process of notifying of the vibration detection error is not executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the operation unit is operated within a predetermined period, even if the vibration detection unit detects the vibration and the error notification condition is satisfied, the vibration detection error is not notified. That is, in the present embodiment, a vibration detection error is not notified within a predetermined period after the operation of the operation unit, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the case where an effect is developed on the first effect route, a vibration detection error is not reported within a predetermined period after the operation means is operated even if vibration is detected by the vibration detection means. .

  When the vibration detection command is input, the sub control CPU 41a controls the operation unit actuator SA to operate the operation button BT (when the operation unit actuator SA is operated within a specific period). Although the number of times of vibration detection is updated, even if the number of times of vibration detection after the update reaches a predetermined number, notification processing of a vibration detection error is not executed. As described above, in the present embodiment, during a specific period after the operating condition is satisfied and the operation unit operates, even if vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, no vibration detection error is notified. By the way, when the operation button BT is operated, the execution of the second operation promoting effect is determined, that is, the operation condition is satisfied, and the pre-operation effect for prompting the operation of the operating means is being executed. It is time. That is, in the present embodiment, when the operation condition is satisfied and the pre-operation effect prompting the operation of the operation unit is being performed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit and the error notification condition is satisfied. Vibration detection error is not reported.

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, during the period from the start of the operation of the operation button BT to the end of the operation of the operation button BT, all the periods are detected when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the vibration detection command. Even if the number of times is updated and the error notification condition is satisfied, the vibration detection error is not notified. However, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command during a part of a period from the start of the operation of the operation button BT to the end of the operation of the operation button BT, the number of times of vibration detection is updated. Even if the error notification condition is satisfied, the vibration detection error may not be notified. For example, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command during the period from the start of the operation of the operation button BT to the elapse of a predetermined time, the number of times of vibration detection is updated and the error notification condition is satisfied. Even in such a case, the vibration detection error may not be notified.

  When the vibration detection command is input, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the number of vibration detections when controlling the first effect actuator EA1 to operate the upper movable body 80. Does not execute the vibration detection error notification process even if has reached the predetermined number of times. As described above, in the present embodiment, in all of the periods after the operation of the upper movable body 80 as the specific movable body is started, the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting unit, and the error notification condition is satisfied. No vibration detection error is reported.

  Incidentally, when the vibration detection command is input by the sub-controlling CPU 41a, the vibration detection frequency is updated and the vibration detection error is not reported even when the error reporting condition is satisfied. It may be a part of the period from when the operation of the upper movable body 80 ends until the operation of the upper movable body 80 ends. For example, during the period from the start of the operation of the upper movable body 80 to the elapse of a predetermined time, when the vibration detection command is input by the sub control CPU 41a, the number of times of vibration detection is updated and the error notification condition is satisfied. Even in this case, the situation may be such that the vibration detection error is not notified. In this case, even if vibration is detected by the vibration detecting means and an error notification condition is satisfied during a part of a period after the operation of the upper movable body 80 as a specific movable body is started, a vibration detection error occurs. Will not be notified.

  In addition, when the vibration detection command is input, the sub-controlling CPU 41a updates the number of vibration detections while controlling the second effect actuator EA2 to operate the internal movable body 90. Does not execute the vibration detection error notification process even if has reached the predetermined number of times. As described above, in the present embodiment, in all of the periods after the operation of the internal movable body 90 as the specific movable body is started, the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting unit, and the error notification condition is satisfied. No vibration detection error is reported.

  Incidentally, when the vibration detection command is input by the sub-control CPU 41a, the vibration detection error is updated and the vibration detection error is not reported even when the error reporting condition is satisfied. It may be a part of the period from when the operation of the internal movable body 90 ends until the operation of the internal movable body 90 ends. For example, in the period from the start of the operation of the internal movable body 90 to the elapse of a predetermined time, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs a vibration detection command, the number of times of vibration detection is updated and the error notification condition is satisfied. Even in this case, the situation may be such that the vibration detection error is not notified. In this case, even if vibration is detected by the vibration detecting means and an error notification condition is satisfied during a part of a period after the operation of the internal movable body 90 as a specific movable body is started, a vibration detection error is generated. Will not be notified.

  In the second embodiment, the situation where the vibration detection error is not reported even when the error reporting condition is satisfied may be a situation where the notification of the vibration detection error is not allowed or a situation where the reporting of the vibration detection error is restricted. On the other hand, the situation where the error notification condition is satisfied and the vibration detection error is reported is a situation where the notification of the vibration detection error is allowed or the situation where the notification of the vibration detection error is not limited.

According to the second embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the effects (1) to (7) and (9) to (13) of the first embodiment.
(14) In a configuration in which a vibration detection error is not notified even when vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS as the vibration detection means, the error notification condition is satisfied when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Even if the vibration is detected, the vibration detection error is not reported, so that the vibration detection error is not reported. Thus, when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration many times in a situation where a vibration detection error is not reported, the vibration detection error is not reported but the number of times of vibration detection is updated. Then, when the situation where the vibration detection error is not notified ends and the situation where the vibration detection error can be reported is reached, and when the error reporting condition is already satisfied, for example, a predetermined number of vibrations is newly detected. If not, a vibration detection error will be notified. That is, when vibration is improperly applied to the gaming machine from a situation where a vibration detection error is not reported, the vibration detection error is not reported but the number of times of vibration detection is updated so that the error reporting condition can be satisfied. Thus, after the situation where the vibration detection error is not reported, the vibration detection error can be reported without waiting for the number of times of vibration detection to reach the predetermined number. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the illegal application of vibration to the gaming machine while suppressing a decrease in interest.

In addition, each embodiment may be changed as follows.
In the above embodiment, the vibration detection error is not notified even when the vibration is detected by the vibration detection means both when the first effect is executed and when the second effect is executed. It is not necessary. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a vibration detection error is not reported even when vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit during one of the time when the first effect is executed and the time when the second effect is executed. . In addition, in the above-described embodiment, when the error notification condition is satisfied when the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, both when the first effect is executed and when the second effect is executed. May be configured to notify a vibration detection error.

  In the above embodiment, even when the operation promotion effect is being performed, if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration, an error notification condition is satisfied, and a vibration detection error may be notified. Good. That is, when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration while the operation promotion effect is being performed, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and when the error notification condition is satisfied, a vibration detection error is reported. You may. That is, when the first effect is executed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error may not be notified, and the vibration detection unit may not be configured. It is not necessary to configure so that a vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected and the error notification condition is satisfied. Then, when the first effect is being executed, the vibration may be detected by the vibration detecting means and a vibration detection error may be reported if the error reporting condition is satisfied. Similarly, when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration while the second operation promotion effect is being performed, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and when the error notification condition is satisfied, a vibration detection error is reported. May be configured. In other words, when the pre-operation effect is being performed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, it is not necessary to configure so that the error notification condition is not satisfied and the vibration detection error is not notified. It is not necessary to configure so that a vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected and the error notification condition is satisfied. Then, when the pre-operation effect is being performed, a vibration detection error may be reported if the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting means and the error reporting condition is satisfied. As described above, in the above embodiment, when an effect is developed on the first effect route, when the first effect is being performed, when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration, the error notification condition is satisfied. , The vibration detection error may be notified.

  In the above embodiment, if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration even when an effect (for example, a result of a button announcement effect) that is executed in response to an operation of the operation button BT is being executed, an error notification condition is set. May be satisfied, and a vibration detection error may be notified. If the vibration sensor SS detects a vibration while the effect executed in response to the operation of the operation button BT is being performed, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and if the error notification condition is satisfied, a vibration detection error is generated. It may be configured to be notified. That is, when the second effect is executed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, the error notification condition may not be satisfied and the vibration detection error may not be notified, and the vibration detection unit may not be configured. It is not necessary to configure so that a vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected and the error notification condition is satisfied. Then, when the second effect is being executed, the vibration may be detected by the vibration detection means and a vibration detection error may be reported if the error reporting condition is satisfied. Similarly, if the vibration sensor SS detects vibration when an effect is performed after the operation button BT is operated after the execution of the second operation promoting effect, the number of times of vibration detection is updated, and the error notification condition is set. May be configured to notify a vibration detection error when is satisfied. That is, when the post-operation effect is being performed, even if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection unit, the error notification condition may not be satisfied and the vibration detection error may not be notified, and the vibration detection unit may not be configured. It is not necessary to configure so that a vibration detection error is not notified even if the vibration is detected and the error notification condition is satisfied. Then, when the post-operation effect is being performed, a vibration detection error may be reported if the vibration is detected by the vibration detection means and the error reporting condition is satisfied. As described above, in the above embodiment, when an effect is developed on the first effect route, when the second effect is performed, when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration, the error notification condition is satisfied. , The vibration detection error may be notified.

  In the above embodiment, when a reach button effect or a standby button effect is being performed among the effects corresponding to the second effect, a vibration detection error can be notified when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration. . For example, when a reach button effect or a standby button effect is being executed, a vibration detection error may not be notified even when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration. That is, when a part of the second effects of the plurality of types of second effects is being executed, a vibration detection error can be notified when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration. May be configured so that a vibration detection error is not notified when the vibration sensor SS detects vibration when the is executed.

  -When an effect is developed in the second effect route, such as a reach button effect and a standby button effect, even if vibration is detected within a predetermined period after the operation button BT is operated, vibration May be configured so that an error notification condition is satisfied and a vibration detection error can be notified. That is, even if within a predetermined period of time after the operation means is operated when the effect is developed in the second effect route, the vibration detection error can be notified if the vibration is detected by the vibration detecting means. May be configured.

  -When an effect is developed in the second effect route, when a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, a vibration detection error may not be notified. For example, when an effect is developed in the second effect route, when the second effect is being executed, and when a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, a vibration detection error is not notified. Good.

  -Only one of the first operation promotion effect and the second operation promotion effect may be configured to be executable as the operation promotion effect. For example, when only the second operation promotion effect is configured to be executable as the operation promotion effect, the operation button BT may be configured to operate when the operation promotion effect is performed. On the other hand, for example, when only the first operation promotion effect is configured to be executable as the operation promotion effect, the operation button BT may not be configured to be operable.

  The image displayed on the effect display device 11 when the first operation promoting effect is executed may be any one of the image G1 and the image MG, and any one of the image G1 and the image MG may be displayed. Even if it is displayed, it can be said that the effect prompts the operation of the operation button BT. Similarly, when the second operation promoting effect is executed, the image displayed on the effect display device 11 may be any one of the image G2 and the image MG, and may be any one of the image G2 and the image MG. Even if one of them is displayed, it can be said that the effect prompts the operation of the operation button BT. In addition, an image prompting the operation of the operation button BT displayed on the effect display device 11 when the first operation promotion effect is executed, and displayed on the effect display device 11 when the second operation promotion effect is executed. The image that prompts the operation of the operation button BT may be different from the image that prompts the user to operate the operation button BT.

  -The operation button BT may be an operation means having a light emitting body such as an LED. In a situation where the effect is executed when the operation button BT is operated, the operation button BT may emit light. The illuminant of the operation button BT may be connected to the sub-control CPU 41a, and the illuminant of the operation button BT may be controlled by the sub-control CPU 41a. Further, for example, during the reach button effect period, the operation button BT may emit light while the operation promoting effect is not executed. In this case, in a situation where the operation button BT emits light while the operation promotion effect is not executed, an error notification condition may be satisfied when a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS and a vibration detection error may be reported. It can also be considered as In addition, the operation button BT may emit light when the operation promotion effect is executed. In this case, the effect in which the operation button BT emits light can be regarded as an effect that prompts the operation of the operation button BT. In this case, it can be said that the function as the effect executing means can be realized by the operation button BT capable of executing the effect prompting the operation of the operation button BT.

  The time required for the button announcement effect, the time required for the final button effect, and the time required for the big hit button effect may be varied according to the time from when the operation promoting effect is executed to when the operation button BT is operated. For example, when the operation button BT is operated in a short time after the execution of the operation promotion effect is started in the button announcement effect, the operation button BT is operated in a short time after the execution of the operation promotion effect is started in the button announcement effect. The time required for the button announcement effect may be configured to be shorter than that in a case where the button announcement effect is not performed. Then, the update upper limit time may be longer than the maximum time (maximum time) required for the button notice effect. Further, the update upper limit time may be longer than the maximum time required for the final button effect. Further, the update upper limit time may be longer than the maximum time required for the big hit button effect.

  -The update upper limit time may be shorter than the longest time (maximum time) required for one special game. Further, the update upper limit time may be shorter than the time required for the button announcement effect (or the longest time). Further, the update upper limit time may be shorter than the time required for the final button effect (or the longest time). Further, the update upper limit time may be shorter than the time required for the jackpot button effect (or the longest time).

  The predetermined time may be shorter than the time required for the reach button effect (time during which the decorative lamp La emits light). Further, the predetermined time may be shorter than the time required for the standby button effect (time during which the heart image G10 is displayed).

  In the above embodiment, for example, in the case of executing a button announcement effect, after determining the type of the operation promoting effect, the effect contents of the effect executed when the operation button BT is operated (for example, derived) (Type of result) may be determined. For example, when executing the button announcement effect, after determining which of the first operation promotion effect and the second operation promotion effect to execute, it may be configured to determine the result derived in the button announcement effect. Good. At this time, it may be configured such that the execution of the second operation promoting effect is more easily determined when a big hit occurs than when the big hit occurs. Further, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which the result derived in the button announcement effect is determined when the operation button BT is operated. That is, when executing the effect related to the operation of the operation button BT, the effect contents (for example, the type of the derived result) of the effect executed when the operation button BT is operated are determined by the operation button BT. It may be configured such that it is determined in response to the execution. Thereby, the effect content of the effect performed according to the timing at which the operation button BT is operated may be different, so that the fun of operating the operation button BT can be enhanced. Moreover, when the second promotion effect is executed, a result with a higher jackpot expectation may be more easily determined than when the first operation promotion effect is executed. Although the button announcement effect has been described as an example here, even when the final button effect or the big hit button effect is executed, it is configured to determine the type of the operation promoting effect and then determine the derived result. You may.

  In the above embodiment, the effects that can be executed as the effects related to the operation of the operation buttons BT include a button announcement effect, a reach button effect, a final button effect, a big hit button effect, and a standby button effect. For example, some effects may be configured to be executable, or other effects may be configured to be executable. Also, the button announcement effect is configured such that the jackpot expectation changes according to the derived result. For example, it is configured such that the expectation to be controlled to the jackpot and controlled to the high probability state changes. Is also good. Although the big hit button effect is configured to be able to specify whether it is controlled to the high probability state based on the derived result, for example, the number of round games in the big hit game may be specified. In this case, it is preferable that a jackpot game in which the number of round games is different can be generated.

  -Even if the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is cut off, the number of times of vibration detection may be stored and held. Further, when the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is cut off, the number of times of vibration detection may be initialized. In this case, it can be said that the initialization condition for the number of times of vibration detection includes an initialization condition that is satisfied when the power supply is cut off. In addition, when the power supply is restarted after the power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is cut off, the number of times of vibration detection may be initialized. In this case, it can be said that the initialization condition for the number of times of vibration detection includes an initialization condition that is satisfied when the power supply is restarted after the power supply is cut off. Further, the number of times of vibration detection in the above embodiment may be configured not to be initialized. For example, the configuration may be such that the number of times of vibration detection is not initialized until the power supply is cut off, even if the maximum number of updates has elapsed.

  If the initialization condition is satisfied while the vibration detection error is being notified, the configuration may be such that the notification of the vibration detection error ends. Further, when the initialization condition is satisfied while the vibration detection error is being notified, the notification mode of the vibration detection error may be changed. When the initialization condition is satisfied when the vibration detection error is notified, for example, the size and shape of the second error image EG2 displayed on the effect display device 11, the display area where the second error image EG2 is displayed, and the like. May be changed so that the notification mode of the vibration detection error is changed.

  -In the said embodiment, you may comprise so that notification of a magnetic detection error may give priority to notification of a vibration detection error. For example, when a magnetic detection command is input while a vibration detection error is being notified, the sub-control CPU 41a terminates the notification of the vibration detection error and executes a notification process of the magnetic detection error. Is also good. The vibrations detected by the vibration sensor SS include illegal vibrations and vibrations that cannot be said to be illegal, such as vibrations when the operation button BT is operated. However, it is highly probable that the magnetism detected by the magnetic sensor JS is a magnet that is intentionally brought close to the gaming machine, and that there is a high possibility that an illegal act is being performed. In consideration of such circumstances, by giving priority to the notification of the magnetic detection error over the notification of the vibration detection error, it is possible to contribute to the suppression of fraudulent activities.

  -The number of vibration sensors is not limited to one. For example, a plurality of vibration sensors may be provided. When a plurality of vibration sensors are provided, some of the vibration sensors may be provided at a position different from the game board unit (for example, on the back surface of the front frame Y3). When a plurality of vibration sensors are provided, even if the plurality of vibration sensors detect vibration, when the number of times of vibration detection is updated, one may be added to the number of times of vibration detection. That is, for example, even when two vibration sensors detect vibration, one may be added to the number of times of vibration detection. Similarly, the number of magnetic sensors is not limited to one.

  -An electromagnetic induction sensor may be provided. When an electromagnetic induction is detected by the electromagnetic induction sensor, a security signal may be output. Further, when electromagnetic induction is detected, an electromagnetic induction detection error may be notified.

  A configuration is such that a security signal output when vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS and a security signal output when magnetism is detected by the magnetic sensor JS are output from separate connection terminals. You may. In this case, it is possible to specify which of vibration and magnetism has been detected from the connection terminal from which the security signal is output.

  In the above embodiment, for example, when the magnetism is detected by the magnetic sensor JS or when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, that is, when the security signal is output, the predetermined light emitting body in the pachinko gaming machine 10 You may comprise so that it may blink. In this case, when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, the predetermined light emitter flashes even if the vibration detection error is not notified. According to this, while making it difficult for the player to notice that vibration has been detected, it is necessary to notify the administrator of the game hall that a security signal has been output, that is, that vibration has been detected. Can be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the vibration detection error is notified by using the effect display device 11. However, for example, the vibration detection error is notified by using at least one of the decorative lamp La and the speaker Sp. Is also good. For example, when notifying the vibration detection error using the decorative lamp La, the decorative lamp La may be configured to blink in red. For example, when notifying a vibration detection error using the speaker Sp, a predetermined sound (for example, a sound such as “vibration detected”) may be output from the speaker Sp. The vibration detection error may be notified using one or more of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11. Similarly, in the above embodiment, the effect of displaying the magnetic detection error is notified by using the effect display device 11. However, for example, the at least one of the decorative lamp La and the speaker Sp is used to notify the error of the magnetic detection. May be. The magnetic detection error may be configured to be notified by using one or more of the decorative lamp La, the speaker Sp, and the effect display device 11. That is, the device functioning as the error notification unit may be a device different from the effect display device 11, or may be configured by a plurality of devices.

  -It may be configured to include only one of the upper movable body 80 and the inner movable body 90, and the number of movable bodies corresponding to the specific movable body may not be plural but may be singular. . Further, both the upper movable body 80 and the inner movable body 90 may not be provided. Further, the operation button BT does not have to be operable.

  The number of operation buttons BT as the operation means need not be one, and a plurality of operation buttons may be provided. For example, an operable operation button and an inoperable operation button may be provided. For example, when the first operation button and the second operation button are provided, the operation promotion effect includes an operation promotion effect prompting the operation of the first operation button and an operation promotion effect prompting the operation of the second operation button. , May be configured to be executable. Then, when an operation promoting effect for prompting the operation of the first operation button is being executed, an error notification condition is satisfied when a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS, and a vibration detection error can be reported. You may. On the other hand, when an operation promoting effect prompting the operation of the first operation button is being executed, a vibration detection error may not be notified if a vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Further, when the second operation button is operated when the operation promotion effect for prompting the operation of the first operation button is executed, the effect executed when the operation button is operated is executed. May be configured. In this case, when the first operation button is operated and when the second operation button is operated, the effect contents (for example, derived (The type of result), the selection mode (selection rate and effect contents that can be selected) may be different. For example, when an operation promoting effect for prompting the operation of the first operation button is executed, when the second operation button is operated, a big hit is obtained as compared with the case where the first operation button is operated. It is possible to increase (or decrease) the rate at which the effects (so-called premium effects) that are executed only when they occur and that have a low probability of being executed even when a big hit occurs (so-called premium effects) are executed. Further, when the operation promoting effect for prompting the operation of the first operation button is executed, when the second operation button is operated, the effect executed when the operation button is operated is not executed. You may comprise.

  In the above embodiment, a period in which the notification of the vibration detection error is allowed (here, indicated as an allowable period) may be provided. The period outside the permissible period is configured to include the situation shown in FIG. 12, and during the period outside the permissible period, a vibration detection error is not notified even if vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Alternatively, the vibration sensor SS may be configured to notify a vibration detection error when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS and an error notification condition is satisfied within the allowable period. Even in the case of the configuration as described above, it is possible to configure so as not to notify the vibration detection error even if the vibration is detected in the situation shown in FIG. 12 as in the above embodiment.

  -The predetermined number of times may be two or more times or one time. For example, when the predetermined number of times is one, the number of times of vibration detection need not be configured to be countable. When the predetermined number is set to one, it can be considered that the error notification condition is satisfied by inputting the vibration detection command. Further, when the predetermined number is set to one, in the first embodiment, it can be considered that the error notification condition is satisfied because the situation is not shown in FIG. As described above, the error notification condition does not have to be satisfied by the number of times vibration is detected.

  -As a pachinko gaming machine that can be controlled to a high probability state, specifications to control the state to the high probability state until the next big hit game is given, specifications to control to the high probability state until the winning lottery is won (falling machine), There is a specification (ST machine) for controlling to a high probability state until a predetermined number of special games are completed. In addition, pachinko gaming machines that can be controlled to the high probability state have a specification (V-variable machine) that controls the game ball to the high probability state when a game ball passes through a specific area. The above embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko gaming machine having any of these specifications. Further, the pachinko gaming machine may be a pachinko gaming machine of a specification in which the above-mentioned fall machine and V-variable machine are mixed. In addition, the V-variable machine has a specification in which a single large winning opening is provided to generate a specific round game in which a game ball is allowed to pass to a specific area. Further, the V-variable transmission machine is provided with a plurality of special winning openings including a special winning opening (V winning opening) opened in a specific round game and a special winning opening opened in round games other than the specific round game. There is a specification that causes a round game. Each embodiment may be embodied in a V-variable transformer of any specification. Further, in the V-variable machine, during a specific round game, even when an operation promoting effect is being executed or an effect is being triggered by the operation of the operation button BT, vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. A configuration may be adopted in which a vibration detection error can be reported when detected. In this manner, in a situation where an action of giving a game machine a vibration and trying to pass a game ball through a specific area can be performed, a vibration detection error can be notified when the vibration sensor SS detects the vibration. You may comprise. In addition, when a specific round game is not performed, an operation promoting effect is configured to be executed, or an effect performed upon operation of the operation button BT is configured to be executed. Is also good. For example, when the above-described embodiment is a V-variable machine, a big hit button effect may be executed in a round game after a specific round game. In the V-probability machine, the game is controlled to a high probability state when a game ball passes through a specific area in a specific round game. Or the jackpot button effect can be executed after it is determined that the state is not controlled to the high probability state. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of discomfort due to the difference between the result derived by the jackpot button effect and the actual result (whether or not the result is controlled to the high probability state).

  -The above embodiment may be applied to a slot machine. In a slot machine, the number of bets can be set by operating a MAXBET or inserting medals. In the slot machine, when the start lever is operated after setting the number of bets, a plurality of reels rotate. In the slot machine, when a stop button is operated after a plurality of reels have been rotated, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. Then, in the slot machine, when the rotation of all the reels is stopped, a prize is awarded according to the stopped symbol combination.

  -The said embodiment may be applied to the pachinko gaming machine which performs a small hit lottery other than a big hit lottery. Generally, when a small hit is won in the small hit lottery, a small hit game is given after the end of the special game.

  -You may apply to the game machine which can simultaneously perform a 1st special game and a 2nd special game. For example, the first special game may be configured to be executable when a big hit game is not occurring, regardless of whether the second special game is being executed. Furthermore, for example, the second special game may be configured to be executable when a big hit game is not occurring, regardless of whether the first special game is being executed. Such a gaming machine capable of simultaneously executing the first special game and the second special game may be configured to be able to generate an advantageous state (for example, a small hit RUSH) using a small hit lottery or a small hit game. . For example, the advantageous state using the small hit lottery or the small hit game may be an advantageous state as compared with the high base state. Then, in an advantageous state compared to the high base state as described above, a configuration may be adopted in which a vibration detection error is not notified when vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. Further, in the advantageous state as compared with the high base state as described above, even if the situation is as shown in FIG. 12, a vibration detection error can be notified when the vibration is detected by the vibration sensor SS. You may comprise.
