Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachinko machine”) or a spinning-type gaming machine (generally also referred to as a “pachislot machine”).

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a gaming machine that includes an effect display device behind a flat plate formed of a light-transmitting material, and allows the effect display device to be seen through the flat plate. When the flat plate has translucency, not only members arranged on the flat plate and the effect display device but also members arranged in the space between the flat plate and the effect display device are players. Therefore, the deterioration of the design property due to the visibility of various internal members and electrical wiring has been a problem.

  According to Patent Document 1, an electric member is disposed on a flat plate having translucency and having a game area on the front, and the electric wiring connected to the electric member is concealed behind the flat plate. A gaming machine provided with a wiring concealing unit is disclosed. According to Patent Document 1, a frame-shaped member having a predetermined thickness, having an outer contour shape substantially the same as that of a flat plate in a front view, and having an opening at a portion facing the game area in the center is provided behind the flat plate. It is attached to. The entire rear of the game area passes through the game area and is visible to the player through the opened portion of the frame member. From the frame-shaped member to the electrical member, an elongated wiring concealing portion that extends in a U-shaped groove and can accommodate electrical wiring is extended. The wiring concealment portion extends linearly along the back surface of the flat plate, and connects the frame-shaped member and the electrical member with a path that is substantially shortest. Thereby, since the electric wiring which traverses the back of the game area and is connected to the electric member is concealed by the wiring concealing portion, it is possible to prevent the electric wiring from being exposed to the player so as to be visible.

  According to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, the electrical wiring traversing the back of the game area can be concealed by the elongated wiring concealing portion and guided from the electrical member to the frame-like member through a short path, so that the electrical wiring is exposed. Can be prevented from standing out.

JP 2005-270136 A

  However, since the wiring concealing part traverses the back of the game area and is connected to the electrical member, the wiring concealing part itself has an elongated shape, and the wiring concealing part itself traversing the rear of the flat plate is visually recognized by the player. There was a risk of causing it. Further, when the electrical member is disposed far from the inner peripheral portion of the frame-like member, the distance from the frame-like member is increased, so that the length of the wiring concealing portion is also increased, and the wiring concealing portion itself is conspicuous. There was a problem that it became easy and caused a visually strange feeling.

  Further, when an electrical member having an opaque appearance is disposed on a light-transmitting flat plate, it may become inadvertently conspicuous and cause a visual discomfort. In particular, when an electrical member is disposed in front of the effect display device, the effect display device emits light behind the electrical member and produces an effect based on an image. In some cases, it created a visual discomfort and lowered the design of the gaming machine.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in view of the above situation, the electrical member disposed on the light-transmitting flat plate and the electrical wiring accompanying the electrical member are inadvertently conspicuous, resulting in a visual discomfort. It is an object of the present invention to suppress a decrease in designability of a gaming machine by reducing the possibility of causing it.

Mean 1:
A gate sensor Yu technique medium detecting passage of the game medium to the gate portion disposed to protrude toward the playfield rolling,
And the electric wiring drawn rearward is connected to the gate sensor,
Wherein mounted on the gate sensors, and the surface plate electric device and a insertion member at least the gate sensor Ru is supported by being inserted into the inside,

A shape which is contoured by and a Oite plurality of protrusions and a plurality of depressions in the longitudinal direction, in a substantially longitudinal direction at least partially penetrable for Daiichidenzai insertion hole of the platen electrical device A three-dimensional decorative body,

A decorative body base for supporting the three-dimensional decorative body from behind;

Is formed of a material having a light transmitting property has the game area in front than said solid decorative element arranged in front, part of the surface plate electrical device at a position opposite to the Daiichidenzai insertion hole A flat plate in which a second electric material insertion hole that can penetrate is formed,
Comprising

The on-board electrical device is
The Daiichidenzai through the insertion hole and the second material insertion hole, Rutotomoni is clamped by the flat plate, a part of the insertion member, the disposed playfield the gate portion The sides are formed into a metallic, glossy, smooth mirror surface,
further,
The portion of electrical wiring, Oite rearward than the three-dimensional decorative body,
A wire insertion portion projecting in a cylindrical shape forward from the decorative body base and a guide portion projecting in a cylindrical shape toward the rear connected to the wire insertion portion and led out rearward Yes,
It is characterized by that.

  In addition, the “material having translucency” is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that can be seen through from the front side and visible on the back side. Even when the transparency is lowered by coloring, surface shape processing, or the like, it is sufficient that the ridgeline of the three-dimensional decorative body arranged in the decorative body region is visible.

  The three-dimensional decorative body is not limited to a decorative shape, but includes a “light emitting decorative body that can emit light”, a “rotary rotating decorative body”, a “sliding sliding decorative body”, and the like. The member and apparatus which are mentioned and produce a gaming machine visually by decoration are shown.

  In addition, “the shape with undulations” includes “one with irregularities”, “one with bumps or depressions”, “one with openings or protrusions”, etc. It is better if the shape changes sharply in the front-rear direction and the ridgeline appears clearly.

According to the configuration of the means 1, the flat plate is formed of a translucent material, and the three-dimensional decorative body is visible to the player through the flat plate. The on-board electrical device is disposed so as to penetrate the first electric material insertion hole and the second electric material insertion hole in the substantially front-rear direction. As a result, the gate sensor is disposed on the flat plate, and the electrical wiring associated with the gate sensor extends substantially in the front-rear direction to the rear of the flat plate and the three-dimensional decorative body. Since the electrical wiring extends substantially in the front-rear direction, it is difficult for the player to see. In addition, since the electrical wiring is guided to the rear of the three-dimensional decorative body in the vicinity of the back of the gate portion , the electrical wiring is concealed and can be made inconspicuous. In particular, when viewed from the front, the gate portion is positioned in front and the electric wiring is concealed so that it is difficult to see. Furthermore, the insertion member is attached, and it is possible to accommodate and conceal the gate sensor and the portion where the electrical wiring is required to be concealed inside the insertion member. Thereby, the possibility that the gate sensor and the electrical wiring are exposed in front of the three-dimensional decorative body and the design property is deteriorated can be reduced.

In addition, in conventional gaming machines, when the transparency of the flat plate is high, the gate portion appears to float in the air, or the visual display between the effect display device disposed behind the flat plate and the gate portion is visual. There is a risk that the harmonious harmony will cause a sense of incongruity. On the other hand, according to the present configuration, a three-dimensional decorative body is disposed behind the gate portion , and a decorative effect is provided by the three-dimensional decorative body. Therefore, compared with the case where a conventional effect display device is used, a part of the decoration is provided. However, it is possible to reduce the possibility of hiding behind the gate portion and making it difficult to see, or causing a shadow in front.

Further, even when a part of the electrical wiring is visible to the player in the gap between the gate portion and the three-dimensional decorative body, the electrical wiring extends substantially in the front-rear direction, so that it is difficult for the player to see the front view. It has become. Furthermore, since the three-dimensional decorative body has a undulating shape in the front-rear direction, the shape of the linear electric wiring extending in the front-rear direction is confused with the contour line, ridge line, valley line, etc. of the three-dimensional decorative body. It can be inconspicuous.

In addition, if the design of the gate portion corresponds to the design of the three-dimensional decorative body, it is easy for the player to recognize the morphological and semantic relationship between the gate portion and the three-dimensional decorative body. It is even better because it makes it difficult for players to feel uncomfortable. Thereby, the situation where a gate part stands out carelessly can be prevented. For example, assuming that the three-dimensional ornament represents a mountain and the gate portion represents a part of a tree, the player recognizes the relationship between colors and shapes and the semantic relationship, and the gate portion and the three-dimensional ornament. You can feel that there is a harmonious relationship. In this way, it is possible to suppress the possibility of making the gate part feel uncomfortable. Even if there is no similarity in shape, it is possible to reduce the sense of incongruity by allowing the player to recognize the semantic relationship as in the above example. Furthermore, even if the relationship between the modeling motifs is poor, for example, a combination of bullets and office buildings, it is configured as an element that forms part of the overall concept of the gaming machine, giving a meaningful relationship. If so, it is possible to reduce a sense of incongruity in the player's recognition. Those that recognize such a semantic relationship include: “a shape that mimics a mutually related object”, “a relationship between the foreground and the background”, “a shape that is similar to each other” ”,“ What expresses a unique meaning by being combined with each other while being in different shapes ”,“ what constitutes a part for expressing an integrated overall concept ”, and the like.

Thus, according to this configuration, the electrical wiring extending to the rear of the gate sensors, by steric decorative body, hides in the rear vicinity of the gate sensors, as well as improving the design of the gaming machine, a set of electrical wires The workability of attaching can be improved. Further, the gate portion and the three-dimensional decorative body, also be separated by a plane plate, feel visually harmonized and contrasted by morphological relevance, and it is possible to recognize the relationship, the gate portion Can reduce the possibility of visually uncomfortable.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine, even if a large effect display device is provided so as to cover the entire rear area of the flat plate, the range used for displaying the symbols has not been enlarged. In other words, the portion that overlaps the game area in front of the effect display device is not suitable for displaying symbols because the game medium rolls and a winning opening, a ball passage connected to the winning opening, and the like are arranged. . Therefore, even if the effect display device is enlarged, a portion corresponding to the rear of the game area is used for displaying a video for decoration purposes. Since the production display device becomes large, an increase in manufacturing cost may cause an increase in the price of the gaming machine and a deterioration in profitability. Furthermore, when a decorative image using an effect display device is developed behind the game area, there is a problem that it becomes difficult for the player to see the game medium due to a change in light emission on the screen or a slight flicker.

  On the other hand, according to the present configuration, it is possible to obtain a decoration effect by arranging a three-dimensional decorative body without enlarging the effect display device so as to cover the entire rear area of the game area. Because the decorative effect of the decorative body can suppress a sense of design discomfort around the on-board electrical device, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the design of the gaming machine.

  In addition, according to this configuration, the three-dimensional decorative body covers the rear part of the on-board electrical device to conceal the electric wiring, and gives an impression that the electrical member and the three-dimensional decorative body are joined. This makes the electrical wiring behind the electrical member invisible to the player and enhances the aesthetics, and allows the player to recognize the relevance of harmony and contrast between the appearance of the electrical member and the appearance of the three-dimensional decoration. Is possible.

  In addition, when the design of the three-dimensional decorative body corresponds to the design of the electric member, the morphological and design semantic relationship between the three-dimensional decorative body and the electric member is played. It is even better because it makes it easier for the player to recognize and makes the player feel less uncomfortable about the relationship between the three-dimensional decorative body and the electrical member. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the on-board electrical device will stand out unintentionally and impair the design of the gaming machine.

  As described above, according to the present configuration, the three-dimensional decorative body and the electric member are recognized by the player as if the three-dimensional decorative body and the electrical member are an integrated three-dimensional modeled object.

(About the composition of the main character)
Next, a specific configuration of the main character 213 in the game board 5 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 15 is a perspective view showing the main character from the upper right front, FIG. 16 is an enlarged perspective view showing the stage of the center character from the upper right front, and FIG. 17 is an enlarged perspective view showing the stage of the center character from the upper left rear. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the main character 213 in the game board 5 includes a center character 230 formed in a frame shape, a character display body 231 that is attached to the right front surface of the center character 230 and can transmit light, And a windmill 219 attached to the lower edge of the left side of the accessory 230.

  The center accessory 230 is made of a light-transmitting member, but a mirror-finished portion 104 that does not partially transmit light is formed on the surface thereof. The left side edge of the center accessory 230 has a first warp inlet 105 that opens to the outside of the center accessory 230 and a first warp outlet 106 that opens to the inside of the center accessory 230, A first warp passage 107 communicating with the first warp inlet 105 and the first warp outlet 106 is formed. Similarly, a second warp passage 162 having a second warp inlet 160 and a second warp outlet 161 is formed below the first warp passage 107 as a warp passage partitioned from the first warp passage 107. Yes. The first warp outlet 106 and the second warp outlet 161 are extended to the vicinity of the lower edge of the center accessory 230 by a work path forming member 163 attached to the lower back of the center accessory 230. The first warp outlet 106 is formed behind the second warp outlet 161 (that is, on the side opposite to the player). That is, when a game ball rolling in the game area 37 on the outer side (left side) of the center accessory 230 enters the upper first warp inlet 105, On the other hand, when the ball enters the second warp inlet 160 on the lower side, it is sent to the front side (player side) of the lower edge portion.

  Further, the center accessory 230 has a first shelf 165 that can roll a game ball supplied from the first warp outlet 106 of the first warp passage 107 in the left-right direction on the upper surface of the lower edge portion thereof. A stage 164 having a rolling surface 167 including a second shelf 166 capable of rolling the game ball supplied from the second warp outlet 161 of the second warp passage 162 in the left-right direction is provided. . A step 172 is formed between the first shelf 165 and the second shelf 166, and the second shelf 166 is lower than the first shelf 165. That is, the second shelf portion 166 is disposed on the player side with respect to the first shelf portion 165, and is disposed on the downstream side in the flow direction of the game ball with respect to the first shelf portion 165.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the first shelf 165 includes a curved surface portion 168 that gradually decreases toward the center side, and a hill portion 169 that is provided at the center of the first shelf 165 and is raised upward. Thus, the game ball is repeatedly rolled in the left-right direction along the curved surface portion 168, and the concentration of the game ball having weakened momentum on the central portion of the first shelf portion 165 is avoided. In addition, a concave guide groove 170 that guides a game ball that rolls in the left-right direction in the first shelf 165 toward the rear is formed in the center of the hill portion 169. A dam portion 173 having a predetermined height that prevents the game ball from being discharged from the first shelf portion 165 toward the second shelf portion 166 is provided upright at the edge portion.

It is possible to accept the game ball that rolls at, and enter the first starter device 456 (described later). Thus, since the winning device receiving portion 177 is provided so as to protrude from the first shelf portion 165, the first starter device 456 and the stage 164 are associated with each other and roll on the first shelf portion 165. It is possible to enhance the interest as to whether or not the game ball is received by the winning device receiving unit 177. Further, at this time, since the game ball receiving into the winning device receiving unit 177 is not hindered by the game ball rolling outside the center accessory 230, it occurs when flowing down from the optimal position of the stage 164. It is possible to maintain a sense of expectation and to wipe away anxiety due to the loss of expectation.

  The winning device receiving portion 177 extends from the first shelf portion 165 rearward in a substantially horizontal direction and has an arch-shaped guide portion 178 whose bottom surface is open, and covers the guide portion 178 and extends obliquely upward. And a plate-shaped upper surface portion 179. For this reason, it is possible to reliably send the game ball that has entered the winning device receiving unit 177 along the guide unit 178.

  Next, an example of control processing executed by the main control board 94 (particularly the CPU 812) will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 33A is a flowchart showing an example of a main process executed by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94, and FIG. FIG. 34 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol / special electric accessory control process. FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the start opening winning process. FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the variation start process. FIG. 38 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the variable display pattern setting process. FIG. 39 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the changing process. FIG. 40 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the big hit game start process. FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing an example of the small hit game start process. FIG. 42 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the special electric utility jackpot control process. FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing an example of the special electric accessory small hit control process. The timer interrupt process is executed at a predetermined timing (every 4 ms in this embodiment) by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94.

  As shown in FIG. 33A, when the supply of power to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the CPU 812 executes a power-on process (step S1). In this power-on process, it is determined whether or not the backup data stored in the RAM 814 is normal (a set value when a power failure occurs). If normal, the backup data stored in the RAM 814 is used. Executes processing to return to the power outage (power recovery processing), and if the backup data is abnormal, clears RAM814 and performs CPU peripheral device settings (normal initial settings: interrupt timing settings, etc.) . If the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped during the game, the current game state is stored in the RAM 814 as backup data. If the RAM erase switch for instructing clearing of backup data stored in the RAM 814 is turned on in the power-on process, the RAM 814 is cleared and normal initialization is performed. If no backup data is stored in the RAM 814 mounted on the main control board 94 in the power-on process, the RAM 814 is cleared and normal initial setting is performed. In the power-on process, a process of setting a power-on command indicating that the main control board 94 is activated to the peripheral control board 830 when normal initial setting is executed is also executed. The power-on command notifies the peripheral control board 830 that the main control board 94 has been activated. In addition, when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is stopped (when the power is turned off) when the amusement store is closed, the backup data is stored in the RAM 814, and the power supply is started when the power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started again. Processing at the time of execution is executed.

  When the power-on process ends, the CPU 812 starts a loop process that repeatedly executes each process for gaming. At the start of this loop processing, the CPU 812 first determines whether or not a power failure notice signal has been detected (step S2). In this embodiment, the power supply voltage used in the pachinko machine 1 is generated by a power supply board (not shown). That is, since the plurality of types of devices mounted on the pachinko machine 1 operate with different power supply voltages, the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is converted into a predetermined power supply voltage on the power supply board, Supplying to the device. Thus, when a power failure occurs and the power supply voltage supplied from the external power supply to the power supply board is equal to or lower than the predetermined power supply voltage, a power failure notice signal indicating that the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply board to the main control board 94 is stopped. Sent. Then, when the power failure notice signal is detected by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94 in step S2, a process at the time of occurrence of power interruption is executed (step S4). This process at the time of power interruption occurs when the power supply voltage (24V in this embodiment) supplied to the power supply board after a power failure is restored (hereinafter referred to as power recovery) This is a process of storing the state at the time of the power outage as backup data in the RAM 814 in order to start from the beginning. Although the processing content will be described later, in the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the power failure occurrence processing is not interrupt processing, but as branch processing that is executed immediately after the start of the loop depending on whether or not a power failure warning signal is detected. It is incorporated in the main process (main control process).

  When the power failure warning signal is not detected in step S2, that is, when the power from the external power supply is normally supplied, random number update processing 2 for updating various random numbers used in the game is performed (step S3). . The random number updated in the random number update process 2 will be described later.

  FIG. 33B is a flowchart showing an example of the process at the time of power-off occurrence (step S4). As described above, the power-off occurrence process is a process executed when a power failure warning signal is detected in the main process. First, the CPU 812 performs an interrupt prohibition setting so that the interrupt process is not executed (step S4a). Then, the checksum of the RAM 814 is calculated and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 814 (step S4b). This checksum is used to check whether or not the contents of the RAM 814 before the power failure is retained at the time of power recovery.

  Next, the CPU 812 sets a specified value indicating that the process at the time of power-off occurrence has been performed in a backup flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM 814 (step S4c). When the above processing is completed, the CPU 812 prohibits access to the RAM 814 (step S4d) and enters an infinite loop to prepare for the stop of power supply. In this process, if the power supply voltage becomes unstable due to a very short power failure, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “instantaneous power outage”), the process at the time of the occurrence of power interruption has started. Since the power supply voltage is not stopped, there is a possibility that it is impossible to return from the infinite loop in the above processing. In order to avoid such an adverse effect, the CPU 812 of the present embodiment is provided with a watchdog timer, and is configured to be reset if the watchdog timer is not updated for a predetermined time. The watchdog timer is periodically updated while the process is normally performed. However, the watchdog timer enters the process when the power is cut off and is not updated. As a result, even when the power interruption occurs due to a momentary power failure and the infinite loop shown in FIG. 33A is entered, a reset is applied after a predetermined period of time, and the CPU 812 starts in the same process as when the power is turned on. Become.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart illustrating an example of timer interrupt processing. As described above, in this embodiment, the timer interrupt process is executed every 4 ms by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94 during the execution of the main process. In the timer interrupt process, the CPU 812 executes the process from step S11 to step S18 after executing the register saving process (step S10). In the switch input process of step S11, a process of monitoring the detection signal of the above-described switches (gate switch, start port sensor, count sensor, general winning switch, etc.) is executed. In the random number update process 1 in step S12, a process of updating various random numbers used in the game is executed. In this embodiment, the random number updated in the random number update process 1 is different from the random number updated in the random number update process 2 described above. Although the random number will be described later, the random number updated in the random number update process 2 may be updated in the random number update process 1 as well. In the payout operation process in step S13, a payout command for instructing the payout control board 133 to pay out the game ball is set based on the signal detected in the switch input process (step S11).

  In the normal symbol / ordinary electric accessory control process in step S14, the normal symbol is changed based on the progress of the game, and the ordinary electric accessory (that is, the movable piece 331 opened and closed by the start opening solenoid 352) is changed. Control is performed to change the open / close state of the third starter device 332. In the special symbol / special electric accessory control process in step S15, the special symbol display 470 displays the first special symbol and the second special symbol variably on the basis of the progress of the game, or the special electric accessory (that is, the attacker solenoid). The door 334 (the attacker device 335) that is opened and closed by the 372 is controlled to execute a process of changing the open / closed state of the special winning opening. In the output data setting process of step S16, a process of outputting a state signal indicating a gaming state to the outside of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, a management computer), a process of outputting a drive signal to a special figure start memory lamp (not shown), Etc. In the command transmission process of step S17, a process of transmitting the effect command to the peripheral control board 830 is executed. In the command transmission process, a process of transmitting the power-on command set in the power-on process (step S1) to the peripheral control board 830 when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started is also performed. When the process from step S11 to step S17 is executed, a register restoration process (step S18) is executed, and the process ends.

  Here, various random numbers that are updated by the CPU 812 mounted on the main control board 94 in the random number update process 1 (step S12) and the random number update process 2 (step S3) described above will be described. In this embodiment, as the various random numbers used in the game, the big hit determination random number used for determining whether or not to generate a big hit gaming state (including “small hit” described later) (big hit determination), the big hit determination Is a random number for a big hit symbol used to determine whether or not to make a promiscuous big hit when it is determined that a big hit gaming state will be generated (special change determination), special when a big hit gaming state is determined in the big hit determination Random for jackpot symbol used to determine the symbol to stop the symbol, used to determine whether or not to release with a reach mode when it is determined that the big hit gaming state does not occur in the jackpot determination (reach determination) Reach determination random number, fluctuation table used to determine the fluctuation display pattern (fluctuation time) of the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display 470 Pattern random (random number change time), whether or not the determination ordinary per determining random number used in the (usually lottery per determination) for controlling the movable piece 331 in an open state, and the like. In this example, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to generate a small hit gaming state using a big hit determination random number. It is also determined whether or not to make a probability variation jackpot (the probability that a specific profit is given is set higher than usual) using a jackpot symbol random number. Note that the variable display pattern of the special symbol may be determined using the reach determination random number, and the variable display pattern of the decorative symbol controlled to be displayed by the effect display device 101 may be determined.

  Among these random numbers, in the random number update process 1, a big hit determination random number related to occurrence of the big hit gaming state, a big hit symbol random number, and a normal symbol per random determination random number related to whether or not the movable piece 331 is controlled to be opened. Update. That is, the random number used for the determination relating to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state and whether or not the movable piece 331 is controlled to the open state is updated every 4 ms as a predetermined timing. By doing in this way, the probability (probability to determine that a big hit gaming state is generated, probability to determine that the movable piece 331 is controlled to be opened) in a predetermined period with each random number can be made constant, It can be prevented that the person becomes disadvantageous. On the other hand, in the random number update process 2, the reach determination random number and the variable display pattern random number that are not related to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state and the normal lottery are updated.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing an example of the special symbol / special electric accessory control process (step S15). In the special symbol / special electric accessory control process, the CPU 812 executes the processes from step S20 to step S90. In the starting port winning process in step S20, it is determined whether or not a game ball has won the first starting port device 456 or the second starting port device 330 (or the third starting port device 332). Execute processing to update the hold status. In the variation start process of step S30, the number of starting memories (holding number) in each big hit lottery is confirmed, and if the number of starting memories (total number of starting memories) is not 0, the corresponding special symbol variation display is started. Make settings for As will be described in detail later, specifically, it is determined whether or not a big hit gaming state is to be generated, and if a big hit gaming state is to be generated, whether or not to be a promising big hit is determined. In the variation pattern setting process in step S40, settings related to variation display of each special symbol and each decorative symbol are performed. More specifically, as will be described later, specifically, a variable display pattern of each special symbol is determined, and a variable time (first special symbol display 390a and second special symbol display) set in correspondence with the variable display pattern. In 390b, the time from when the special symbol variation display is started to when it is stopped is set in the timer.

  In the changing process of step S50, the timer set with the changing time in the changing display pattern setting process (step S40) is monitored, and the first special symbol display 390a or the second special symbol display is performed based on the timer being timed out. A process for stopping the special symbol variation display in the device 390b (corresponding to the special symbol display 470) is performed. At this time, if it is determined in any one of the big win lotteries in the variation start process (step S30), the process selection flag is updated to “3”, and the small win game state is set in the same lottery. If the determination is made, the process selection flag is updated to “4”, and if it is not determined to be the big hit or small hit gaming state, the process selection flag is updated to “0”.

  In the jackpot game start process in step S60, settings for starting the jackpot game state are performed. Specifically, as described later, the number of times the attacker device 335 is opened, the opening time, and the like are set according to the type of jackpot. In addition, in the small hit game start process of step S70, setting for starting the small hit game state is performed. Specifically, as described later, the number of times the attacker device 335 is opened in a small hit, the opening time, and the like are set. In the special electric utility jackpot control process in step S80, the winning prize opening is opened, and the attacker device 335 is closed when a predetermined number of game balls have won the winning prize opening or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Process. Further, if the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has not reached the predetermined number, the processing for opening the attacker device 335 is performed again. When the number of rounds in the big hit gaming state has reached the predetermined number, Is updated to “5”. In addition, after the number of rounds reaches a predetermined number, processing for generating a probability variation state and a short-time gaming state is executed. In the special electric accessory small hit control process in step S90, the big prize opening is opened, and the attacker device 335 is closed when a predetermined number of game balls have won the big prize opening or when a predetermined period has elapsed. Process to do. As will be described in detail later, the opening of the big prize opening in the special electric accessory small hit control process is such that the profit to the player is extremely low compared to the special electric accessory big hit control process (step S80). Is set. Next, specific processing in steps S20 to S90 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the start opening prize process, first, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the second start opening sensor 358, and when the detection signal is output from the second start opening sensor 358, Then, it is determined that the game ball has won the second starter device 330 (or the third starter device 332) (YES in step S201), and the detection signal from the second starter sensor 358 is not output. It is determined that the game ball has not won the second starter device 330 (or the third starter device 332) (NO in step S201). When it is determined in step S201 that the game ball has won the second starter device 330 (or the third starter device 332), various random numbers for the second big hit lottery (random numbers for big hit determination, random numbers for big hit symbols, etc.) ) Is acquired, and it is determined whether or not the value of the second reserved ball number counter provided in the RAM 814 is less than 4 which is the upper limit value (step S202). Then, if the second reserved ball number counter is less than 4 in step S202, a second start hold storage process (step S203) and a hold history update process (step S204) are executed. These processes will be described later. If the value of the second reserved ball number counter is 4 in step S202, the second start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

  On the other hand, when the detection signal is not output from the second start port sensor 358 in step S201 (NO in step S201), or when the value of the second reserved ball number counter is 4 (NO in step S202). Determines whether or not a game ball has won the first starter device 456 (step S205). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a detection signal is output from the first start port sensor 416. When it is determined in step S205 that the game ball has won the first start opening device 456 (YES), various random numbers for the first big hit lottery are obtained, and the value of the first reserved ball number counter provided in the RAM 814 is obtained. Is less than 4 which is the upper limit value (step S206). If the first held ball number counter is less than 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process (step S207) and the hold history update process (step S208) are executed. If the value of the first reserved ball number counter is 4 in step S206, the first start hold storage process and the hold history update process are not executed.

  As shown in FIG. 37, in the variation start process, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “0”. If it is “0” (YES in step S301), the processes after step S302 are executed. If it is not “0” (NO in step S301), the variation start process is terminated. In step S302, it is determined whether or not the values of the two reserved ball number counters (the first start memory number and the second start memory number) corresponding to the special symbol indicators 390a and 390b are “0”. . The sum of the values of the two reserved ball number counters indicates the number of random number values stored in the start memory storage area (special symbol random number storage means 940 (see FIG. 54)). If the value of both of the reserved ball number counters is “0” (YES), it is determined that the start condition regarding the first big hit lottery and the second big hit lottery is not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S317.

  On the other hand, if the value of any of the held ball number counters is not “0” in step S302 (NO), the start memory transfer process is executed (steps S303 to S311). As shown in FIG. 54, the special symbol random number storage means 940 is provided with eight storage areas (storage area [1] 940a to storage area [8] 940h). That is, eight storage areas 940a to 940h are provided, which are respectively associated with the value of the total start memory number (“1” to “8”), which is the sum of the first start memory number and the second start memory number. It has been. Each of the storage areas 940a to 940h stores a big hit determination random number storage area 946 for storing a big hit determination random number, a big hit symbol random number storage area 947 for storing a big hit symbol random number, and a special symbol determination flag. And a special symbol determination flag storage area 948. As the special symbol determination flag, “0” indicating that the stored random number is a random number related to the first special symbol (first lottery) and “2” indicating that the random number is related to the second special symbol (second lottery) “ 1 "is set. In the start memory transfer process, first, the symbol to be changed next based on the special symbol determination flag stored in the special symbol determination flag storage region 948 of the storage area [1] 940a is the second special symbol. Whether or not (step S303). If it is not the second special symbol, that is, if it is the first special symbol (NO in step S303), each of the nth (n is a natural number of 2 or more) storage areas (storage area [2] 940b to storage area [8] A process (step S304) for shifting various random numbers stored in 940h) to the (n-1) th storage area (storage area [1] 940a to storage area [7] 940g), and storage area [1 ] The process (step S305) which acquires the random number regarding the 1st special symbol memorize | stored in 940a is performed. In addition, “1” is set to the special symbol variation flag (step S306), and a process of subtracting “1” from the reserved ball number counter corresponding to the first special symbol is executed (step S307).

  On the other hand, if the next variable symbol that is determined based on the special symbol determination flag stored in the special symbol determination flag storage region 948 of the storage area [1] 940a is the second special symbol (step S303). As in step S304, various random numbers stored in the nth storage areas (storage area [2] 940b to storage area [8] 940h) are stored in the (n-1) th storage area (storage area [ 1] 940a to storage area [7] 940g) (step S308), and a process of acquiring random numbers related to the second special symbol stored in storage area [1] 940a (step S309). Run. Further, “2” is set to the special symbol variation flag (step S310), and a process of subtracting “1” from the reserved ball number counter corresponding to the second special symbol is executed (step S311).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is in operation, that is, whether or not the probability variation state has a high probability (step S312). If not the probability variation state (NO in step S312), the probability variation is not activated. Jackpot determination table, that is, a table set with a low probability of being a jackpot, on the other hand, in the case of a probability variation state (YES in step S312), the table at the time of probability variation operation, that is, the probability of being a jackpot Select a highly set table. In this example, when the probability fluctuation is not activated (that is, normal), the probability that the jackpot is set to 1 / 315.5, and when the probability fluctuation is activated (that is, when the probability is high), the probability that the jackpot is won. Is set to 1 / 31.55.

  After any table is selected in step S313 or step S314, the random number related to any special symbol acquired in step S305 or step S309 based on the table is a random number corresponding to the big hit (big hit value) It is determined whether or not (step S315). If it is a big hit value (YES in step S315), the big hit flag is set to “ON” (step S316), and the process proceeds to step S317. On the other hand, if the acquired random number is not a big hit value (NO in step S315), it is determined whether or not the random number is a random number corresponding to a small hit (small hit value) (step S318). If it is a small hit value (YES in step S318), the small hit flag is set to “ON” (step S319), and the process proceeds to step S317. (NO in S318), the process proceeds to step S317 without going through step S319. In step S317, the process flag is updated to “1”, and the variation start process is terminated. Note that the ON / OFF states (set state and reset state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag are stored in the RAM 814. The OFF state (reset state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag means that a value of “0” is set, and the ON state (set state) of the big hit flag and the small hit flag is a value of “1”. Is set.

  In the variation pattern setting process shown in FIG. 38, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “1”. If the process is not “1” (NO in step S401), the variation pattern setting process is terminated. In step S402, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag is “ON”. If the flag is “ON” in step S316 (YES in step S402), the probability variation jackpot or It is determined which of the big hits is a normal big hit (step S403). If it is a big hit with probability fluctuation (YES in step S403), it is determined whether or not it is a special hit (step S404). As will be described in detail later, any of the probability fluctuation jackpots, “In the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit will be granted is set to a probability fluctuation state higher than usual and fluctuates on any special symbol display. When the special symbol variation time to be shortened is shortened (relatively shorter than the normal time), and the ease of winning a prize to the third starter device 332 is increased more than usual, a short game state is generated. In other words, the probability variation jackpot that is a special hit and the general probability variation jackpot that is not a special hit are set so that the level of profit given to the player is greatly different. That is, in general probability fluctuation big hit, the opening time per attack device 335 is set to such a time that a plurality of (for example, 10) game balls can be won with a lot of time, and the attacker device It is controlled so that the opening / closing operation of 335 is performed a number of times (for example, 15 times) that gives many benefits. On the other hand, in the probability variation big hit which is a special hit, the opening time per time of the attacker device 335 is set to a time at which several (for example, one or two) game balls can barely win. The opening / closing operation of the attacker device 335 is controlled to be performed twice, for example.

  If it is determined in step S404 that it is not a special hit, that is, if it is determined that it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO), a probability variation big hit variation display pattern table is selected (step S405), while a special hit is determined. If it is determined that it is a hit (YES in step S404), the probability variation special hit fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step S406). If it is determined in step S403 that the probability variation is not big hit, that is, if it is decided that the normal big hit is made (YES), the normal big hit fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step S407).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S402 that the big hit flag is not “ON” (NO), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is “ON” (step S408), and “ON” is determined in step S319. If YES (YES in step S408), the small hit change display pattern table is selected (step S409). When the small hit flag is not “ON” (NO in step S408), it is determined whether or not the acquired reach determination random number is a random number (reach value) corresponding to reach (step S410). ) If it is a reach value (YES in step S410), a deviation reach fluctuation display pattern table is selected (step 411). If it is not a reach value (NO in step S410), a deviation fluctuation display is performed. A pattern table is selected (step S412).

  As described above, when the variable display pattern table is selected in any step, the variable display pattern is calculated based on the variable display pattern table and the variable display random number acquired in either step S305 or step S309. Determine (step S413). Next, a selection value is set as an effect command for designating the variation display pattern determined in step S413 (step S414), and a variation time corresponding to the variation display pattern is set to a timer provided in the RAM 814 mounted on the main control board 94. (In this embodiment, the valid period timer) is set (step S415). In step S415, the variation time set in the variation display pattern determined in step S413 is set in the effective period timer. Note that the variable display pattern command set in step S414 is transmitted to the peripheral control board 830 by command transmission output processing. In addition, when a variable display pattern command is transmitted to the peripheral control board 830 by command transmission output processing, a drive signal is output to the first special symbol display 390a and the second special symbol display 390b, and the variation display of the special symbol is started. Let Thereafter, the processing flag is updated to “2” (step S416), and the variation pattern setting process is terminated.

  39, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “2” (step S501). If it is “2” in step S416 (YES in step S501), the process proceeds to step S501. The processing after S502 is executed, and if it is not “2” (NO in step S501), the changing processing is ended. In step S502, the first special symbol indicator 390a or the second special symbol indicator 390b determines whether or not the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changing. It is determined whether or not the variation time of the symbol or the second special symbol is up (step S503). When the fluctuation time is up, that is, when the fluctuation time is ended (YES in step S503), the fluctuation is stopped (step S504). If none of the special symbols have changed (NO in step S502), or if the change time has not ended (NO in step S503), the special symbols are changing without being stopped. The process ends.

  After stopping the fluctuation of the special symbol in step S504, it is determined whether or not the big hit flag is “ON” (step S505). If the big hit flag is “ON”, the processing flag is updated to “3”. (Step S506). On the other hand, if the big hit flag is not “ON” (NO in step S505), it is determined whether or not the small hit flag is “ON” (step S507). If it is “ON”, the processing flag is set to “4”. Is updated to “0” (step S508). If it is not “ON”, the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S509). In this way, after the processing flag is updated in any of step S506, step S508, or step S509, the changing process is ended.

  In the big hit game start process shown in FIG. 40, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “3”. If the process flag is “3” in step S506 (YES in step S601), the process after step S602 is performed. If the process is not “3” (NO in step S601), the big hit game start process is terminated. In step S602, it is determined whether or not the probability variation function is operating, that is, whether or not it is in the probability variation state. If the probability variation state is present (YES), the operation of the probability variation function is temporarily stopped, and the process proceeds to step S604. To do. If the state is not the probability variation state, that is, if it is the normal low probability state (NO in step S602), the process proceeds to step S604 without executing the process of step S603. In step S604, it is determined whether or not the time saving function is operating, that is, whether or not the time saving gaming state is set. If the time saving gaming state is set (YES), the operation of the time saving function is stopped (step S605). The process proceeds to S606. On the other hand, if it is not the short-time gaming state (NO in step S604), the process proceeds to step S606 without executing the process in step S605.

  In step S606, it is determined whether the type of jackpot is a general jackpot or a special jackpot. If the jackpot is a general jackpot (NO in step S606), the condition for opening the jackpot by the attacker device 335 is determined. That is, the number of big hits to be released (for example, a maximum of 15 times), the opening time for each time (for example, a maximum of 18 seconds), and the number of winnings to be awarded to the big prize opening (for example, a maximum of 10 per time) are set (step S607). ). On the other hand, if the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S606), the special winning opening number (for example, twice) at the big winning opening (for example, twice), the winning limit number (for example, 6), and the opening time per time. (For example, 1.8 seconds) is set (step S608). Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “5” (step S609), and the big hit game start process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in the small hit game start process shown in FIG. 41, first, it is determined whether or not the process flag is “4”. If it is “4” in step S508 (YES in step S701), step The processing of S702 and step S703 is executed, and if the processing flag is not “4” (NO in step S701), the small hit game start processing is ended without executing the processing of step S702 and step S703. In step S702, the condition for opening the big prize opening in the case of a small hit, that is, the number of small winning openings for the big prize opening by the attacker device 335, and the opening time per one are set. It should be noted that the number of times of opening in the small hit, the limited number of winnings, and the opening time are set to be the same as the conditions (step S608) set in the case of special hit. That is, the special hit and the small hit are set so that they cannot be visually discriminated. Thereafter, the process flag is updated to “6” (step S703), and the small hit game start process is terminated.

  In the special electric utility jackpot control process shown in FIG. 42, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “5”, and if it is “5” in step S609 (YES in step S801), step The processing after S802 is executed, and if it is not “5” (NO in step S801), the special electric utility jackpot control processing is terminated. In step S802, it is determined whether or not the big prize opening is open. If it is open (YES), the opening time (elapsed time after opening) of the big prize opening reaches a predetermined time set in advance. It is determined whether or not (step S803), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S803), the attacker device 335 is operated to close the special winning opening (step S805). Even if the set opening time has not elapsed (NO in step S803), the number of game balls won in the big winning opening after the big winning opening is opened is the limited number set in step S607. If (for example, 10) is exceeded (YES in step S804), the process proceeds to step S805 to close the special winning opening. Also, if the opening time of the big prize opening has not reached the set time (NO in step S803) and the number of winning game balls has not reached the limit (NO in step S804), a special The electric utility jackpot control process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in step S802, if the big prize opening is not being opened (NO), the number of times the big prize opening is opened by the attacker device 335 is set in the number of big hits opened in step S607 or in step S608. It is determined whether or not the special hit opening number has been reached (step S806). If it has not been reached (NO in step S806), the attacker device 335 is controlled to open the special winning opening (step S807), and the special electric accessory big hit control process is terminated. As a result, a large amount of game balls can be awarded to the grand prize opening.

  In step S806, when the number of times of opening the big prize opening reaches the set number (YES), that is, when the big hit gaming state is finished, the processing of step S808 to step S813 is executed, and the subsequent lottery is performed. Set all game states. Specifically, first, the jackpot flag is set to “OFF” (step S808), and it is determined whether or not the current jackpot is a win that activates the probability variation function (step S809). That is, it is determined whether the probability variation big hit including the special hit or the normal big hit. If the winning is a probability variation jackpot (YES in step S809), the operation of the probability variation function is started and a probability variation state with a high probability is set (step S810). That is, the probability that the big hit is won in the subsequent lottery is set higher than the normal time. If the big hit is a special hit (YES in step S811), it is determined whether or not the probability variation function or the short-time function is in operation (step S814). If it is not a special hit, that is, if it is a general probability fluctuation big hit (NO in step S810), or if the special hit is won when the probability fluctuation function or the time reduction function is already activated, The operation is started (step S812), and then the processing flag is updated to “0” (step S813). That is, the first special symbol display unit 390a or the second special symbol display unit 390b reduces the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. Makes it easier to win a prize than usual. On the other hand, if the probability variation function and the time reduction function are not in operation, that is, if neither the probability variation state nor the time reduction gaming state has occurred and the special win is won (NO in step S814), the time reduction function is activated. The process proceeds to step S813 without being operated.

  On the other hand, if it is not a win that activates the probability variation function in Step S809, that is, if it is a normal big hit (NO), the operation of the time-shortening function is started (Step S815), and the specified number of times of operation in the time-shortening function is set. (Step S816) Then, it transfers to step S813. That is, the time-shortening function is operated until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol due to the lottery reaches a predetermined number (specified number).

  In the special electric accessory small hitting control process shown in FIG. 43, first, it is determined whether or not the processing flag is “6”. If it is “6” in step S703 (YES in step S901), The process after step S902 is executed, and if it is not “6” (NO in step S901), the special electric accessory small hit control process is terminated. In step S902, it is determined whether or not the number of winning game balls for the grand prize opening has reached a preset maximum number of winnings (step S902). If the maximum number of winnings has not been reached yet (NO). Then, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening is open (step S903). If it is determined in step S903 that the special winning opening is open (YES), whether the opening time of the special winning opening (elapsed time after opening) has reached a predetermined time set in advance. It is determined whether or not (step S904), and if it has elapsed (YES in step S904), the attacker device 335 is operated to close the special winning opening (step S905). After that, it is determined whether or not the number of times the special winning opening is opened has reached a predetermined number of times (for example, twice) (step S906). If this number is reached (YES), the processing flag is set to “0”. (Step S907), and the special electric accessory small hit control process is terminated. If the opening time of the special winning opening has not reached the predetermined time in step S904 (NO), or if the number of opening has not reached the predetermined number in step S906 (NO), the process of step S907 is executed. Then, the special electric accessory small hit control process is terminated. In step S903, if the big prize opening is not open (NO), the big prize opening is opened, and the game ball can be won (step S908). In step S902, if the number of game balls won for the big prize opening reaches the preset maximum number of prizes (YES), it is determined whether or not the big prize opening is open (step S909). If it is open (YES), the special winning opening is closed (step S910), and the process proceeds to step S907. On the other hand, when the special winning opening is not open (NO in step S909), the process proceeds to step S907 without executing the process of step S910. In step S907, the processing flag is updated to “0”.

  Next, processing executed by the integrated CPU 834 mounted on the peripheral control board 830 will be described. FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing an example of sub-main processing, and FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing an example of 16 ms steady processing.

  As shown in FIG. 44, when power supply to the pachinko machine 1 is started, the integrated CPU 834 performs an initial setting process (step S1001). In this initial setting process, a process of clearing the integrated RAM 836 mounted on the peripheral control board 830 is performed. Note that interrupts are prohibited during this initial setting process, and interrupts are permitted after the initial setting process. When the initial setting process (step S1001) is completed, a loop process for monitoring whether or not the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set is started (step S1002).

  In this embodiment, the integrated CPU 834 generates an interrupt every 2 ms and executes a 2 ms steady process. In the 2 ms steady process, a process of counting up the 16 ms progress monitoring counter (adding 1 to the 16 ms progress monitoring counter) is executed, and when the value of the 16 ms progress monitoring counter reaches 8, that is, 16 ms elapses. A process of setting the flag T and resetting (setting to 0) the 16 ms progress monitoring counter is executed. In this way, the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set (set) to “1” every 16 ms in the 2 ms steady process, and is normally set (reset) to “0”. If the 16 ms elapsed flag is set in step S1002 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “1”), the 16 ms elapsed flag is reset (step S1003), and then a 16 ms steady process is performed (step S1004).

  In the 16 ms steady process, a process of controlling the effect display device 101, the frame lamp, the game board lamp, the speaker, and the like based on the effect command received from the main control board 94 is executed. When the 16 ms steady process ends, the process returns to step S1002 again, and the above-described steps S1003 to S1004 are repeated every time the 16 ms elapse flag T is set, that is, every 16 ms. On the other hand, if the 16 ms elapsed flag T is not set in step S1002 (the 16 ms elapsed flag T is “0”), loop processing is performed until the 16 ms elapsed flag T is set.

  FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing an example of a 16 ms steady process executed every 16 ms in the sub main process. In the 16 ms steady process, the sub-integrated CPU 834 executes the processes of steps S1100 to S1600. In the command analysis process in step S1100, the effect command received from the main control board 94 is analyzed. In the effect control process of step S1200, a control process related to the effect display device 101 is executed based on the variable display pattern command. Specifically, setting of a notice effect, determination of a stop symbol of a decorative symbol, and the like are performed.

  Moreover, in the sound control process of step S1300, the control process regarding a speaker for generating the sound effect (for example, BGM) which promotes an effect is performed. In the lamp control process in step S1400, control processes related to the game board lamp and the frame lamp are executed. In the information output process in step S1500, a lamp effect command is transmitted to the electrical decoration control board 890 and the accessory peripheral control board 891, and a drive command for the movable accessory 87 is transmitted. In the random number update process of step S1600, a process of updating random numbers used for various settings in the effect control process (step S1200) is executed.

  In addition, the process of step S1100 to step S1600 in the 16 ms steady process ends within 16 ms. Even if it takes 16 ms or more from the start of the 16 ms steady processing to the end of the 16 ms steady processing, the 16 ms steady processing is started from the beginning immediately after the 16 ms has elapsed since the start of the 16 ms steady processing (step S1100 described later). Do not execute) That is, when 16 ms elapses during execution of the 16 ms steady process, only the 16 ms elapse flag is set. When it is determined in step S1002 that the 16 ms elapse flag is set after the end of the 16 ms steady process, the 16 ms elapse process is performed. To start.

  In this embodiment, the random number update process (step S1600) is executed in the 16 ms steady process to update various random numbers. However, the timing (timing) for updating the various random numbers is limited to this. It is not something that can be done. For example, various random numbers may be updated in one or both of the loop process in the sub-main process and the 16 ms steady process.

  FIG. 46 is a flowchart illustrating an example of command analysis processing (step S1100). In the command analysis process, the integrated CPU 834 first determines whether or not an effect command has been received from the main control board 94 (step S1101). In this embodiment, when an effect command is received from the main control board 94, other processes such as a 16 ms steady process are interrupted to generate a command reception interrupt process, and the received command is mounted on the peripheral control board 830. Are stored in the received command storage area in the integrated RAM 836. The reception command storage area is provided with a plurality of areas corresponding to the reception order of the production commands, and in the command reception interrupt process, the reception command storage areas are stored in the respective areas corresponding to the reception order of the production commands. In step S1101, the contents of the received command storage area are confirmed, and if the effect command is stored, the effect command in the reception order of the reception command storage area is read (step S1102).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the read effect command is a variable display pattern command (step S1103). If the read effect command is a variable display pattern command (YES in step S1103), a variable display pattern reception flag is set. Then, it is stored in the variable display pattern storage area in the integrated RAM 836 mounted on the peripheral control board 830 (step S1104).

  On the other hand, if the read effect command is not a variation display pattern command (NO in step S1103), it is determined whether the read effect command is a probability change jackpot command (step S1105), and the read effect command is a probability change jackpot command. If (YES in step S1105), a probability variation jackpot flag is set (step S1106). Further, if the read effect command is not a probability change big hit command (NO in step S1105), a flag corresponding to the received effect command is set (step S1107).

  FIG. 47 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the effect control process (step S1200). In the effect control process, the integrated CPU 834 performs one of steps S1210 to S1230 with reference to the value of the process selection flag indicating the progress state of the game.

  In the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210) executed when the process selection flag is “0”, a setting for starting the decorative symbol variation display is performed if a variation display pattern command is received. Specifically, the decorative symbol stop symbol is determined in accordance with the variable display pattern command and the probability variation jackpot command, and a notice effect is set.

  In the decorative symbol variation process (step S1220) executed when the process selection flag is “1”, when the variation stop command is received, the display command is transmitted to the electrical control board 832 to stop the variation display of the decorative symbol. To control.

  In the jackpot display process (step S1230) executed when the process selection flag is “2”, an indication indicating the start of the jackpot gaming state is displayed on the effect display device 101 in accordance with the jackpot start command transmitted from the main control board 94. Control is performed to display during the big hit gaming state (for example, round display).

  FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing an example of the decorative symbol variation start process (step S1210). In the decorative symbol variation start process, the integrated CPU 834 first determines whether or not the variation display pattern reception flag is set (step S1221). The variation display pattern reception flag is a flag that is set in step S1104 of the command analysis process (step S1100) described above and indicates that a variation display pattern command has been received from the main control board 94. If the variable display pattern reception flag is not set in step S1221, (NO), it is determined that the variable display pattern command has not been received, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the variable display pattern reception flag is set (YES in step S1221), the variable display pattern reception flag is reset (step S1222), and the variable display pattern based on the received variable display pattern command generates a big hit. It is determined whether it is a variable display pattern (whether it is a hit pattern) (step S1223a).

  If the variable display pattern is not a winning pattern (NO in step S1223a), a stop symbol for the off symbol is determined (step S1224). If the variation display pattern is a hit pattern (YES in step S1223a), it is determined whether the probability variation big hit flag is set (step S1223b). If the probability variation big hit flag is set (YES), the probability variation big hit symbol is determined. Is determined (step S1225). If the probability variation big hit flag is not set (NO in step S1223b), the stop symbol of the non-probable big hit symbol is determined (step S1226). Further, the probability variation jackpot flag is reset when the jackpot gaming state is started in the jackpot display process (step S1230). The time when the probability variation big hit flag is reset is not limited to this. For example, when the variation display of the decorative symbol is stopped in the decorative symbol variation processing (step S1220), specifically, when the variation stop command is received. You may make it reset, and you may make it reset when ending a jackpot game state by jackpot display processing (step S1230).

  In this embodiment, the first decorative symbol corresponding 1: 1 with the first special symbol, the second decorative symbol corresponding 1: 1 with the second special symbol, the first decorative symbol, and the second decorative symbol. A common decorative symbol sequence (hereinafter referred to as “common decorative symbol sequence”) associated with both symbols and corresponding to the first special symbol and the second special symbol is displayed. The first decorative symbol and the second decorative symbol are composed of combinations of figures such as circles, crosses, sankaku, and the like. , And combinations that are out of place are set in advance. In other words, if the variable display pattern is a winning pattern, the combination symbol of the combination set as the probable big hit symbol of the first decorative symbol or the combination set as the non-probable big hit symbol is stopped. Determine as a symbol.

  On the other hand, the common decorative symbol sequence is composed of a plurality of symbol sequences having numbers (for example, three columns). If the variable display pattern is a winning pattern, the symbol combination of any one of the same odd symbol combinations is probable. The symbols are determined as symbols, and any combination of the same even symbols is determined as a non-probable variation big hit symbol. Further, when determining the stop symbol of the off symbol in step S1224, it is determined whether it is a variable display pattern with a reach mode, and if it is a variable display pattern with a reach mode, the left, middle and right common decorative symbols are determined. The left and right common decorative design sequences are the same design, and the middle decorative design sequence is determined to be a stop design that is different from the left and right decorative design sequences. On the other hand, in the case of a variable display pattern that does not involve the reach mode, the stop symbol is determined so that each of the left, middle, and right common decorative symbol sequences becomes a different symbol.

  Next, the integrated CPU 834 executes a notice selection process for determining whether or not to execute the notice effect based on the notice determination random number (step S1227), and then the variable display pattern and the notice stored in the notice type storage area. A display command corresponding to the pattern and the stop symbol of the common decorative symbol sequence determined in steps S1225, S1226, and S1227 is set (step S1228). Then, the process selection flag is updated to “1” and the process ends (step S1229). The display command set in step S1228 is transmitted to the illumination control board 832 in the information output process (step S1500), and the display CPU 851 mounted on the illumination control board 832 receives the display command. Based on this, the effect display device 101 starts execution of variable display of decorative symbols. When the notice pattern stored in the notice type storage area is read in step S1228, the contents of the notice type storage area are cleared after reading the notice pattern. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the notice effect based on the notice pattern determined when the previous decoration pattern change display is erroneously started in the next decoration design change display from being executed.

  Next, a functional configuration relating to the effect display including the special symbol, the first decorative symbol, the second decorative symbol, and the common decorative symbol sequence will be described based on the block diagrams of FIGS. 49 to 53. 49 shows a functional configuration related to the first jackpot lottery on the main control board 94, FIG. 50 shows a functional configuration related to the second jackpot lottery on the main control board 94, and FIG. FIG. 52 shows a functional configuration related to the normal lottery on the main control board 94, and FIG. 53 shows the peripheral board 811 (mainly The functional structure regarding the production | presentation in the periphery control board 830, the electrical decoration control board 890, and the accessory peripheral control board 891) is shown.

The first hit determination table 911a shows the relationship between the big hit determination random number value and the success or failure of the big hit or the small hit, and the winning ratio is different between the normal time and the high probability. The first hit symbol table 912a shows the relationship between the big hit symbol random number and the stop symbol in the first special symbol indicator 390a, and each of the big hit symbol random values divided into a plurality of groups. The range is associated with the lighting state of the two LEDs (first special symbol). The first hit time variation time setting table 913a is used when the result of success or failure in the first big hit lottery is big hit or small hit, and the first random time random number and the first special symbol display 390a extracted. The first off time variation time setting table 914a is used when the result of the first big lottery lottery is out of the way and is extracted. It shows the relationship between the random time for variation time and the variation time of the first special symbol in the first special symbol display 390a. The first lottery probability selection means 920a performs processing for selecting one of the normal table and the high probability table based on the gaming state. Although not shown, the first winning symbol table 912a includes a probability variation big hit table, a special hit table, a normal big hit table, and a small hit table, respectively. A table corresponding to the type of winning determined by the first winning / failing determining means 930a described later is selected.

  The main control board 94 also receives a first hit for extracting a big hit determining random number from a random counter (random number generating means) when a winning to the first starting port device 456 is detected by the first starting port sensor 416. Random number extraction means 916a for determination and first random number extraction means 917a for winning a jackpot symbol are provided. Further, first variation time random number extraction means 918a is provided for extracting variation time random numbers based on the determination random number and the jackpot symbol random number.

Yes. Further, when the fluctuation time random number is extracted by the first fluctuation time random number extraction means 918a and the big hit determination is determined by the first winning / failing determination means 930a, the first hit time fluctuation time setting table 913a is used. When the variation time of the first special symbol is determined and the random number for the variation time is extracted and determined to be out of the range by the first success / failure determination means 930a, the variation time setting table 914a for the first out-of-range time is determined. The first variation time determining means 932a for determining the variation time of the first special symbol using is provided.

  The main control board 94 also starts the first special symbol change in the first special symbol display 390a and determines the first stop symbol after the variation time determined by the first variation time determination means 932a elapses. A special symbol fluctuation control means 934 for variably stopping at the stop symbol determined by the means 931a, a success / failure command related to the presence / absence of a big hit determined by the first success / failure determination means 930a before the start of fluctuation of the first special symbol, Command transmission means 935 for transmitting a control command including a variation display command corresponding to the variation mode (time) of the special symbol is provided. Further, when the first start port sensor 416 detects a winning to the first start port device 456 during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the main control board 94 has a fixed number of balls (4 The first reserved digesting means 922a is provided that counts and stores the first starting memory number with the upper limit of the number of times) and repeatedly displays the variation of the first special symbol as many times as the starting memory number. In other words, the first holding digesting means 922a for waiting for the execution of the first process based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port sensor 416 is provided. The first reservation digesting means 922a will be described in more detail. The first reservation control means 941a and the first digestion control means 942a are provided in the first reservation digesting means 922a, and the first reservation control means 941a is in the process of changing the first special symbol or the second special symbol. When the first start port sensor 416 detects a winning to the first start port device 456, if the first start stored number has not reached the upper limit value “4”, the value of the first start stored number is set to “1”. In addition, the first big hit determination random number and the first big hit symbol random number are extracted, and each extracted random number is stored in the uppermost storage area in the special symbol random number storage means 940. On the other hand, when the change of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped and the change of the new first special symbol becomes possible, the first digest control means 942a sets the start memory number related to the first special symbol to “ If not "0", the first big hit determination random number and the first big hit symbol random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the starting stored number [1], the first starting stored number is reduced by "1", and Each random number value stored in each storage area n is shifted to n-1 storage areas.

  As shown in FIG. 50, the main control board 94 includes a second hit determination table 911b, a second hit symbol table 912b, and a second hit time variation time setting table 913b as configurations relating to the second big hit lottery. , And a second off-time variation time setting table 9414b are stored in advance. Based on these tables 911b to 414b, whether or not the lottery is selected in the second big hit lottery, the stop symbol in the second special symbol display 390b, and The variation time is determined. Since the configuration of each table is the same as the configuration of each table in the first big hit lottery, detailed description is omitted here.

  The main control board 94 also receives a big hit determination random number related to the second big win lottery when the second start port sensor 358 detects a winning to the second start port device 330 (or the third start port device 332). Random number extracting means 916b for second hit determination to be extracted, random number extracting means 917b for second hit symbol for extracting the big hit symbol random number related to the second big hit lottery, and variable time based on the random number for determination and the big hit symbol random number A second fluctuation time random number extraction means 918b for extracting a random number is provided. When the big hit determination random number is extracted by the second hit determination random number extracting means 916b, the second hit determination means 930b for determining whether or not the big hit is determined using the second hit determination table 911b, and the second hit symbol When the big hit symbol random number extraction means 917b extracts the big hit symbol random number, second stop symbol determination means 931b for determining the stop symbol in the second special symbol display 390b using the second hit symbol design table 912b is provided. Yes. Further, when the random time for variation time is extracted by the random number extraction means for second variation time 918b and the big hit is determined by the second determination unit 930b, the second variation time setting table 913b is used. When the variation time of the second special symbol is determined, and when the variation time random number is extracted and the second success / failure determination means 930b determines that the variation is out of place, the second variation time variation time setting table 914b is determined. A second variation time determining means 932b is provided for determining the variation time of the second special symbol using the.

  The special symbol variation control means 934 starts the variation of the second special symbol in the second special symbol display 390b, and after the lapse of the variation time determined by the second variation time determination unit 932b, The variation is stopped at the stop symbol determined by the stop symbol determining means 931b. That is, the special symbol variation control means 934 sequentially varies the first special symbol or the second special symbol according to the detection order of the game balls by the first starting port sensor 416 and the second starting port sensor 358, and determines the first stop symbol. The fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is stopped at the stop symbol determined by the means 931a or the second stop symbol determining means 931b. Further, the main control board 94 detects a winning to the second starting port device 330 (or the third starting port device 332) by the second starting port sensor 358 during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. In this case, the second reserved digesting means 922b is provided which counts and stores the second starting memory number up to a certain number of balls (four times) as an upper limit, and repeatedly displays the second special symbol as many times as the starting memory number. It has been. In other words, the second reserved digesting means 922b is provided for waiting for the execution of the second process based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port sensor 358. The second reservation digesting means 922b will be described in further detail. The second reservation control means 941b and the second digestion control means 942b are provided in the second reservation digestion means 922b, and the second reservation control means 941b is used during the fluctuation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol. If the second start port sensor 358 detects a winning to the second start port device 330 (or the third start port device 332), the second start memory number does not reach the upper limit value “4”. While increasing the value of the two starting memory numbers by “1”, the second big hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number are extracted, and each of the extracted random numbers is stored in the special symbol random number storage means 940. Store in the upper storage area. On the other hand, when the first special symbol or the second special symbol stops changing and the second second special symbol can be changed, the second digestion control unit 942b sets the start memory number related to the second special symbol to “ If it is not “0”, the second big hit determination random number and the second big hit symbol random number are read from the storage area corresponding to the starting stored number [1], the second starting stored number is decreased by “1”, and Each random number value stored in each storage area n is shifted to n-1 storage areas.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 51, the main control board 94 is provided with five advantageous games for giving a game state advantageous to the player based on the lottery result by the first success / failure determination means 930a or the second success / failure determination means 930b. State control means is provided. Here, the advantageous game state includes opening the attacker device 335 and allowing a game ball to be awarded to the big prize opening. The attacker device 335 is controlled to be opened by either one.

  More specifically, the predetermined profit granting means 982 sets the opening time per time of the attacker device 335 as a first predetermined time enough to allow several (for example, 1 to 2) game balls to be won, By performing the opening / closing operation of the attacker device 335 at least once (in this example, twice), a predetermined profit is given to the player. This makes it possible to win a predetermined number of game balls in the big winning opening, but since the number that can be won is extremely small, the profit received by the player is relatively small. On the other hand, the specific profit granting means 981 sets the opening time per time of the attacker device 335 as a second predetermined time that allows a plurality of (for example, ten) game balls to win with a margin, and the attacker device. By performing the opening / closing operation 335 more times (15 times in this example) than the number of opening / closing operations in the case of giving a predetermined benefit, a specific benefit is given to the player. According to this, it becomes possible to make a large number of game balls enter the big winning opening, and the player can obtain a large profit.

  The main control board 94 is provided with a first advantageous gaming state control means 933a and a second advantageous gaming state control means 933b as means for giving a specific profit by the specific profit giving means 981, and a predetermined profit giving means 982 is provided. As a means for giving a predetermined profit, a third advantageous gaming state control means 933c, a fourth advantageous gaming state control means 933d, and a fifth advantageous gaming state control means 933e are provided.

  The first advantageous gaming state generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 933a is a so-called “probability change big hit”, and the lottery result of the first success / failure determination means 930a or the second success / failure determination means 930b is the first result. Occur. At this time, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 981, and the probability that the specific profit will be given in the subsequent lottery is set higher than the normal time by the high probability state setting means 983. That is, a probability variation state with a high probability is assumed. In this example, in the jackpot determination table at the time of high probability, out of 631 jackpot determination random numbers from 0 to 630, 20 jackpot determination values determined to generate the jackpot gaming state are set. The big hit probability, which is the probability of a big hit, is 20/631. On the other hand, in the normal big hit determination table, two big hit determination values are set out of 631 big hit determination random numbers from 0 to 630, and the big hit probability is 2/631. Further, in the first advantageous gaming state, the first temporary short state setting means 984 sets the variation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol that varies on the first special symbol display 390a or the second special symbol display 390b. While shortening and increasing the frequency with which the movable piece 331 is opened and closed (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery), the ease of winning a prize to the third starter device 332 is increased more than usual. In other words, the short-time gaming state is set.

  The second advantageous gaming state generated by the second advantageous gaming state control means 933b is a so-called “ordinary big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / failing determining means 930a or the second winning / failing determining means 930b is the second result. To do. At this time, the specific profit is given by the specific profit granting means 981 in the same way as in the first advantageous gaming state, but in this case, the probability that the specific profit will be given in the subsequent lottery Remains a low probability. That is, the probability fluctuation state is not entered, and the normal probability is maintained. However, in this second advantageous gaming state, after giving a specific profit, until the number of fluctuations of the first special symbol or the second special symbol reaches a predetermined number (for example, 100 times), the second short time state setting means 985 enters the short-time gaming state, shortens the fluctuation time of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, and increases the frequency of opening and closing the movable piece 331 (that is, the probability of winning in the normal lottery) to increase the gaming ball Suppresses ball holding.

  The third advantageous gaming state generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means 933c is a so-called “special big hit”, and occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / deciding determination means 930a or the second winning / deciding determination means 930b is the third result. To do. At this time, first, a predetermined profit (profit lower than a specific profit) is given to the player by the predetermined profit giving means 982. For the subsequent lottery, the probability that a specific profit is given is increased. That is, the probability variation state is set as in the first advantageous gaming state. However, the short-time gaming state is generated only when the gaming state before the advantageous gaming state is generated satisfies a predetermined condition. In other words, when the third advantageous gaming state occurs when the gaming state is neither the probability variation state nor the short-time gaming state (in other words, the normal gaming state), the short-time gaming state is not generated. The probability variation state. On the other hand, when the gaming state is the probability variation state or the short-time gaming state and the third advantageous gaming state is generated, the first short-time state setting unit 984 is operated by the short-time generating unit 989, and the short-time gaming state Is generated.

  The fourth advantageous gaming state generated by the fourth advantageous gaming state control means 933d occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / failing determining means 930a or the second winning / failing determining means 930b is the fourth result. At this time, as in the third advantageous gaming state, a predetermined profit is given to the player by the predetermined profit giving means 982. However, for the subsequent lottery, neither a probability fluctuation state nor a short-time gaming state is newly generated. In other words, the gaming state does not change before and after winning, and the level of profit to the player is extremely low compared to other advantageous gaming states. Therefore, in this example, such an unattractive hit is referred to as “small hit” in order to distinguish it from other hits (big hit). In this example, the probability of winning a small hit, that is, the probability of occurrence of the fourth advantageous gaming state is set to 1 / 78.875.

  The fifth advantageous gaming state generated by the fifth advantageous gaming state control means 933e occurs when the lottery result of the first winning / failing determining means 930a or the second winning / failing determining means 930b is the fifth result. At this time, giving a predetermined profit to the player by the predetermined profit granting means 982 and giving a predetermined profit by the high probability state setting means 983 are the same as in the third advantageous gaming state. In the advantageous gaming state, the short-time gaming state is generated by the first temporary short state setting means 984 regardless of the gaming state.

  In this example, the ratio of winning in each jackpot is distributed. Specifically, the first big hit generated by the first advantageous gaming state control means 933a, that is, the probability fluctuation big hit to which both the probability fluctuation state and the short-time gaming state are given is set to 35% of the whole big hit, The second big hit generated by the advantageous gaming state control means 933b, that is, the normal big hit in which the short-time gaming state is given a certain number of times without being given the probability variation state is set to 35%. Further, the third big hit generated by the third advantageous gaming state control means 933c, that is, the probability variation state and the special big hit to which the conditional short time gaming state is given is set to 27%, and the fifth advantageous gaming state control means 933e. Is set to 3%, that is, the special jackpot to which both the probability variation state and the short-time gaming state are given. In other words, the first big hit (probability variation big hit) and the second big hit (normal big hit) are generated at the same rate, and the third big hit (special big hit) is set at a slightly lower rate than them. . Further, the ratio of occurrence of the fourth big hit is set to about 1/9 of the third big hit, so that it occurs very rarely.

  By the way, as described above, the probability of occurrence of a big hit by the fourth advantageous gaming state control means 933d is set to 1 / 78.875, while the probability of occurrence of a big hit at normal time is set to 1 / 315.5. Therefore, the ratio between the probability of occurrence of a small hit and the probability of occurrence of a third big hit or a fourth big hit is 1: 0.075. Therefore, although these three types of hits are provided as predetermined profits given by the predetermined profit granting means 982, most of them are small hits, and the probability that the probability fluctuation state occurs is about 7%. Become. In other words, “small hits” that do not generate a probability variation state and are less attractive as hits frequently occur. For this reason, if these hits become distinct and recognizable, there is a concern that frustration will often be caused by the frequent occurrence of “small hits” that are less advantageous, and it is not a big hit. There is a risk that the willingness to play may be impaired by dissatisfaction with the game.

  Therefore, in this example, if the “third advantageous gaming state” occurs when the gaming state is neither the probability variation state nor the short-time gaming state (that is, the normal time), the probability does not occur without generating the short-time gaming state. It is in a fluctuating state. According to this, in any game state, the third start-up device 332 is open, that is, the operation state of the movable piece 331 is not different, and the “third advantageous game state (big hit)” Compared with “four advantageous game states (small hits)”, it becomes impossible to visually distinguish them. In other words, even if a “small hit” occurs, it is assumed that “it may be a third advantageous gaming state (big hit)”, that is, “it may have entered a probability variation state”. It is possible to increase the player's expectation. Therefore, the willingness to play is increased, and the end of the game due to dissatisfaction can be suppressed as much as possible.

  In the fifth advantageous gaming state, the short-time gaming state is generated regardless of the gaming state. That is, a big hit state that can be clearly distinguished from a “small hit” that does not become a short-time gaming state is generated. However, the fifth advantageous gaming state occurs less frequently than the third advantageous gaming state, and even if it is recognized that the fifth advantageous gaming state is not the fifth advantageous gaming state, the possibility of being the third advantageous gaming state remains. Therefore, the willingness to play is not reduced. On the contrary, when the 5th advantageous gaming state occurs, it is suggested that the state of probability change has occurred due to the occurrence of the short-time gaming state, which greatly increases the feeling of expectation for the lottery and raises the player's mood. Is possible.

  By the way, in the third advantageous gaming state, after giving a predetermined profit, it is in a probability variation state without generating a short-time gaming state, but if such control is executed regardless of the gaming state, there is a problem. May occur. For example, if the game state is already in the short-time game state and the above control is executed as it is, the short-time game state will end in the middle, giving unnaturalness, and becoming a disadvantageous game state for the player There is a risk of recognition. In addition, when a short-time gaming state has occurred without entering a probability fluctuation state, such as after a specific profit has been granted by the “second advantageous gaming state”, the “third advantageous gaming state” has been reached. In this case, it is possible to easily recognize that the “short advantage game state” (ie, the “fourth advantageous game state”) is not reached because the short-time game state ends in the middle. . In other words, the “third advantageous gaming state” and the “fourth advantageous gaming state” are clearly distinguished, and it is impossible to suppress a decrease in expectation due to the “fourth advantageous gaming state”.

  Therefore, in this example, the transition of the gaming state in the third advantageous gaming state is individually set corresponding to the gaming state before the occurrence. Specifically, when neither the probability variation state nor the short-time gaming state has occurred, as described above, the probability variation state is generated without generating the short-time gaming state. In other words, if at least one of the short-time gaming state and the probability variation state has already occurred, the short-time gaming state is generated (or continued) and the probability variation state is generated (or continued). ing.

  That is, when the “third advantageous game state” occurs in the short-time game state, the probability variation state is generated without stopping the short-game state at that time. That is, when the short-time gaming state has already occurred, a part of the functions in the third advantageous gaming state is changed and given to the player. According to this, the short-time gaming state can be prevented from suddenly ending, distrust to the gaming machine can be suppressed, and visual distinction between the “third advantageous gaming state” and the “fourth advantageous gaming state” is not possible. It can be made clear.

  In addition, even if the gaming state is not the short-time gaming state when the “third advantageous gaming state” is entered, if the probability-changing state is already maintained, the short-time gaming is maintained while maintaining the probability varying state. A state is generated. In other words, in the case where the probability variation state has been caused by the previous “third advantageous gaming state”, the “first advantageous gaming state” or the “second advantageous gaming state” is again given a “ In the case of “3rd advantageous game state”, the short-time game state is given, and the first special symbol or the second special symbol is changed by the first special symbol display 390a or the second special symbol display 390b. And the ease of winning a prize to the third starter device 332 is increased more than usual. As a result, it becomes possible to give a profit more than a predetermined profit (same profit as the fourth advantageous gaming state) as a profit by the “third advantageous gaming state” again, and further increase the expectation for the big hit. Can do. In this case, since the ease of winning a prize to the third starting opening device 332 increases, it can be distinguished from the “fourth advantageous game state”. Since the control is limited to the case where it occurs consecutively, it does not affect the decrease in expectation due to the “fourth advantageous gaming state”. This is because, in the previous time and the current time, the “fourth advantageous game state”, when the previous time was the “fourth advantageous game state”, but when this time became the “third advantageous game state” for the first time this time, This is because the time reduction state does not occur in any of the three advantageous game states and the current “fourth advantageous game state”.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 52, the main control board 94 has a normal winning determination random number extracting means 924 as a configuration related to the normal lottery (the lottery for increasing the ease of winning a prize to the third starting opening device 332). In addition, a normal hit determination table 926 and a normal hit determination unit 925 are provided. Random number extracting means 924 for determining normal hits extracts a random number for determining normal hits from a random counter (random number generating means) when the entrance to the passing gate 79 is detected by the entrance state detecting means 990 (gate sensor). To do. The normal hit determination table 926 is divided into a high probability table and a normal probability table. In the high probability normal hit determination table, 100 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 99 are stored. Of these, five determination values for normal hit are set, and the probability of normal hit is 5/100. On the other hand, in the normal normal hit determination table, out of 100 normal hit determination random numbers from 0 to 99, 99 normal hit determination values are set, and the probability of normal hit is 99/100. ing. In the normal lottery at high probability, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 1.136 seconds, the opening time of the movable piece 331 by the start port solenoid 352 is 1654 ms, the number of times of opening is 3, and the interval between opening is It is set to 856 ms. On the other hand, in the normal lottery at the normal time, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol is set to 14.7 seconds on average, the opening time of the movable piece 331 is set to 1650 ms, the number of times of opening is set to 2, and the interval between opening is set to 2600 ms.

  Further, when the normal hit determination random number extraction unit 924 extracts the normal hit determination random number, the normal hit determination unit 925 extracts the random number and the normal hit determination value stored in the normal hit determination table 926. Are determined to be normal hits if they match. At this time, the game state is determined by the game state determination means 923, that is, a specific game state, that is, a game state (probability variation state) after a probability change big hit or a game state (time saving game) in a certain period after a big hit (for example, a normal big hit). In the case of a specific gaming state, a table with a high probability is selected, and when it is not a specific gaming state, a normal table is selected.

  Further, when the normal lottery determination means 925 determines whether or not the normal lottery is successful, the normal symbol is displayed in the normal symbol display unit 928 in a variable manner and the change time (about 14 seconds or about 1 second). After the elapse of time, a normal symbol fluctuation control means 927 is provided for displaying the result of success / failure. In addition, if the normal hit is determined as a result of the determination by the normal success / failure determination means 925, the release control means for making it easy to win the game ball to the third starter device 332 by releasing the movable piece 331 after stopping the fluctuation of the normal symbol. 929 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 53, when the control information command transmitted from the main control board 94 is received by the command receiving means 951, the peripheral board 811 has various functions for controlling the effect display device 101 based on this command. Is provided.

  That is, as the effect table corresponding to the first big hit lottery, the first hit effect mode table 952a and the first off-time effect mode table 953a are stored in advance, and based on these tables 952a, 953a, The production mode in the step production and the development production is determined.

  First, the production mode tables 952a and 953a will be described in detail. The first hit time effect mode table 952a is used in the case of big hit (or small hit), and shows the relationship between the random number for determining the effect (described later) and the effect mode (in this case, the effect pattern in the step effect and the development effect). It is shown. The first off-time effect mode table 953a is a table used in the case of a loss, and indicates the relationship between the effect determination random number and the effect pattern.

  The peripheral board 881 is provided with first effect random number extraction means 957a for extracting effect determination random numbers from a random counter (not shown) and first effect mode determination means 958a for determining effect patterns. When receiving the control command via the command receiving means 951, the first effect mode determining means 958a extracts the effect random number by the first effect random number extracting means 957a and the success / failure command included in the control command is a big hit (or In the case of a small hit), the effect pattern is determined from the effect random number extracted by the first effect random number extracting means 957a and the effect effect table 952a at the time of the first effect. In the case of indicating an outage, the effect pattern is determined from the effect random number extracted by the first effect random number extraction means 957a and the effect mode table 953a during the first effect. Since the development effects are developed step by step over a plurality of performances, when the third advantageous gaming state (big hit) or the fourth advantageous gaming state (small hit) occurs, the basics in the subsequent lottery The flow of production (that is, in what pattern until which production is developed) is determined.

  The effect pattern determined by the first effect mode determining means 958a is extracted from the effect pattern storage means (not shown) and sent to the first effect display control means 975a. The first effect display control means 975a reads out the images of those effects from the image storage means (not shown) and derives them to the effect display device 101.

  On the other hand, as a functional configuration related to the production of the first decorative symbol, a first decorative symbol variation control means 976a is provided. Based on the control command received by the command receiving unit 951, the first decorative symbol variation control unit 976a reads and varies the stop symbol from the first decorative symbol storage unit (not shown), and includes variations included in the control command. The decorative design is stopped based on the time, the success / failure command, etc. (that is, the lottery result).

  In the above description, the effects related to the first big hit lottery have been described, but the peripheral board 881 is also provided with a functional configuration for performing effects related to the second big hit lottery. Specifically, a second hit time effect mode table 952b and a second off time effect mode table 953b are stored in advance as effect tables corresponding to the second big hit lottery, and these tables 952b and 953b are stored in advance. Based on this, the production mode in the step production and the development production is determined. The production mode tables 952b and 953b have the same configuration as the production mode tables 952a and 953a corresponding to the first big hit lottery, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Further, on the peripheral board 881, corresponding to the second big hit lottery, the second effect random number extraction means 957b, the second effect mode determination means 958b, the second effect display control means 975b, and the second decorative symbol variation control means. 976b is provided, but since these configurations also have the same functions as the functional configurations corresponding to the first big hit lottery, detailed description will be omitted.

  Further, the peripheral board 881 is provided with a decorative symbol sequence variation display means 960 and a big hit display means 964. The decorative symbol sequence fluctuation display means 960 is based on the outputs of the first decorative symbol fluctuation control means 976a and the second decorative symbol fluctuation control means 976b or based on the control command received by the command receiving means 951. While changing a row | line | column, based on the fluctuation | variation time contained in the control command, a success / failure command, etc. (namely, lottery result), a common decoration symbol row | line is stopped in order. In particular, a combination of decorative symbols (stopped symbols) that have already stopped on the active line at the stage before the last stopped symbol sequence that is stopped last among a plurality of common decorative symbol sequences is a specific decorative symbol When the above combination is satisfied, the reach state is established by using the already stopped decorative symbol as the reach formation symbol.

  The jackpot display means 964 performs the lottery when the lottery result of the first jackpot lottery or the second jackpot lottery is the first jackpot or the second jackpot, that is, when the “probable big hit” or “normal jackpot”. After stopping the variation of the common decorative design sequence, it is displayed that “big hit”. If the lottery result of the first big hit lottery or the second big hit lottery is the third big hit, the fourth big hit, or the small hit, the change of the common decorative symbol sequence is not displayed without displaying “winning” After the stop, the production related to the lottery is finished.

  Further, the peripheral board 881 is provided with a winning state implicit means 995 and a winning state indicating means 996. The winning state implied means 995 makes the player uncertain which of the winnings is given when a predetermined profit is given to the player by the third advantageous gaming state and the fourth advantageous gaming state. . On the other hand, the winning state indication means 996 is specified by the first advantageous gaming state or the second advantageous gaming state even if a predetermined number of lotteries have been carried out from the provision of the profit when the predetermined benefit is given by the third advantageous gaming state. It is clear that the probability fluctuation state is hidden when the benefit of is not granted. According to this, it is possible to suppress “a game is ended halfway because it is not noticed even though it is in a probability variation state”.

  Thus, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the rear end of the gate 79 is disposed so as to be very close to the projecting portion 351 of the decorative body 84, so that the rear end of the gate 79 and the decorative body 84 are arranged. It is possible to present an appearance that is joined to the front surface. This allows the player to recognize that the gate 79 and the decorative body 84 are related. Further, the gate 79 formed integrally with the decorative body 84 made of an opaque material has a shape that seems to protrude through the gaming area plate 81 having translucency and project into the gaming area 37. can do. From these morphological features, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of visual discomfort and improve the design of the gaming machine.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, since the gate hole 479 and the insertion hole 504 communicate with each other in the front-rear direction, when the gate 79 is attached to the gate hole 479, the rear end of the gate 79 is inserted into the insertion hole. The electric wiring 515 can be extended rearward through the insertion hole 504 without difficulty. Since the electrical wiring 515 is passed almost directly behind the gate 79 without being routed up and down, left and right, and is hidden by the opaque decorative body 84, there is no possibility that the wiring is exposed and uncomfortable. The insertion hole 504 through which the wiring is inserted is formed to imitate the shape of a building window, and has a natural appearance as a part of the shape of the decorative body 84 having a shape imitating the building. Even when the player sees 504, the possibility of feeling uncomfortable can be reduced. In addition, since the electric wiring 515 becomes invisible to the player when it extends to the rear of the decorative body 84, the route for arranging the electric wiring 515 for connection to the main control board 94 should be particularly considered in appearance. The function and workability can be determined with priority.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the decorative body 84 is formed with a window-like opening and a transparent part that transmit a large amount of light, and the decorative body 84 is decorated by a light-emitting substrate disposed behind the decorative body 84. Each part of the body 84 can be illuminated. Thereby, by attracting attention to the decorative body 84, the gate 79 can be melted as a part of the decoration and can be made inconspicuous.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the decorative body 84 has a shape with undulations in the front-rear direction, and a ridge line and a valley line clearly appear in a linear shape simulating the shape of a building. . Similarly, the window-shaped opening and the unevenness of the surface are also often formed by straight lines. Even if the electric wiring 515 extending in the front-rear direction is visible to the player, it extends in the front-rear direction. Since it looks like a linear shape, it is obscured visually by the shape of the decorative body 84.

  In addition, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the gate 79 is a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a gun part as a motif and is metal-plated, whereas the decorative body 84 is a building imitating a cityscape. The appearance of the gate 79 and the decorative body 84 seem to be different from each other at first glance, but both are related to the player by the design concept of the pachinko machine 1. Since it is recognized, it is more difficult to feel a sense of incongruity between the gate 79 and the decorative body 84.

  Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the shape of the gate 79 is a rectangular parallelepiped shape protruding forward. The outline and ridgeline of the gate 79 appear to be a straight line extending substantially in the front-rear direction, indicating the commonality with the appearance of the decorative body 84 described above, so the shape of the gate 79 and the shape of the decorative body 84 exhibit a commonality, Visual discomfort can be reduced.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, the winning hole 478 has a rough polished surface and diffuses light, so that the peripheral surface of the winning hole 478 is an opaque cylindrical belt. An appearance can be exhibited and the winning opening passage portion 337 can be made inconspicuous. Further, the outer periphery of the winning opening passage portion 337 and the peripheral surface of the winning opening 478 are not in contact with each other, and a slight gap is provided therebetween. Since the circumferential surface of the winning hole 478 does not transmit light linearly, the winning hole passage 337 is separated as the distance between the winning hole passage 337 and the winning hole 478 increases when viewed through the winning hole 478. There is an effect that 337 appears blurred. Thereby, the winning opening passage portion 337 can be made more difficult to see. In the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the gate 79 is fitted to the gate hole 479 with almost no gap, but the peripheral surface of the gate hole 479 is similar to the relationship between the winning hole hole 478 and the winning hole passage portion 337 described above. A gap may be provided between the gate 79 and the outer peripheral surface of the gate 79, or the peripheral surface of the gate hole 479 may be subjected to a coarse polishing finish.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present example, since the decorative body 84 is accommodated and disposed in the base member 83, the light emitter substrate 892 and the outflow path 466 are arranged between the base member 83 and the decorative body 84. And can be supported by the base member 83. Further, since these various members are collectively arranged on the base member 83, a unit can be formed, and convenience during assembly and maintenance can be improved. Further, since the base member 83 has a box shape with an open front surface, the decorative body 84 can be accommodated therein and attached to the support frame 356 at the peripheral edge. Further, the members can be easily incorporated in the manufacturing process.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of this example, the decorative body 84 is composed of five parts: an upper decorative body 480, a right decorative body 481, a left decorative body 482, a lower right decorative body 483, and a lower left decorative body 484. It can be attached and detached individually. In correspondence with each decorative body 84, five light emitting substrates 892a to 892e are arranged, and the light emitting substrates can be attached and detached individually in the same manner. As a result, each decorative body 84 and the corresponding light emitting substrate 892 can be assembled separately, and manufacturing is easy. Moreover, since it is possible to attach and detach separately, even when any part fails, it can be easily repaired by replacing only the failed part with a new one. Further, since it is possible to manufacture a derivative pachinko machine in which a part or all of the decorative body 84 and the light emitting board 892 are changed, a game machine having the same gameplay and partially different design is used. Can produce series.

  The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as described below. And design changes are possible.

  That is, in the above-described embodiment, the gate 79 passes through the gate hole 479 formed in the game area plate 81, and the rear portion of the gate 79 is disposed at a position close to the front surface of the decorative body 84 and extends backward. Although the wiring 515 extends through the insertion hole 504 to the rear of the decorative body 84, the gate 79 is inserted into the insertion hole 504, and is disposed through the game area plate 81 and the decorative body 84. You may come to be.

  The electrical member of the present invention is not limited to the gate 79, and may be a display, for example. Further, the insertion member may not have a shape protruding forward of the game area plate 81 like the gate frame member 440, does not protrude forward of the game area plate 81, and does not protrude rearward of the decorative body 84. A shape that covers the electrical member and the electrical wiring 515 between the game area plate 81 and the decorative body 84 may be used.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the effect display apparatus 101 showed what was arrange | positioned back rather than the base member 83, the effect display apparatus 101 is arrange | positioned in front of the base member 83, and the game area board 81 of FIG. The base member 83 may be attached and supported so as to face the central portion. According to this, since the space in front of the effect display device 101 can be reduced, the space utilization efficiency can be improved. In addition, since the effect display device 101 is mounted on the base member 83, the effect display device 101 and the decorative body 84 can be combined into the same part, and the configuration and the manufacturing process can be simplified.

  Furthermore, the display device 101 may not be provided at all. As a result, the configuration of the pachinko machine 1 is further simplified and reduced in cost, or the area for arranging the effect display device 101 is diverted to include different types of decorations and displays. be able to.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the thing which the effect display part 98 was opened was shown, as long as it is divided and formed with respect to the game area | region 37, it does not necessarily need to be opened.

  In the above-described embodiment, the game ball rolls on the front surface of the game area plate 81. However, the decorative body area 600 may include an area where the game ball rolls. According to this, it is possible to provide a pachinko machine in which the rolling area of the game ball has a multi-layered and complicated appearance.

  In the above-described embodiment, three start opening devices are provided and two types of big hit lotteries are performed. However, only one start opening device may be provided. Moreover, although what showed the 2nd starter apparatus 330 comprised from the pocket-type winning opening with a fixed opening degree was shown, the electric opening and closing winnings which have a pair of left and right movable pieces like the 3rd starter apparatus 332 were shown. It may be configured from a device and the ease of winning a prize to the second starter device 330 may be changed based on the gaming state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 1 is shown as a gaming machine, but the gaming machine other than the pachinko machine, for example, a pachislot machine, a gaming machine in which the pachinko machine and the pachislot machine are combined, etc. The invention can be applied.
