The ea is arranged to contact the bottom of the upper dish body 17p. The lower left portion 10eb of 0e is positioned so as to contact the right end portion of the lower tray main body 18p.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 16, the enclosure 10e has a conduit ( The conduit and the opening 10ec are connected to the Due to the principle of Helmholtz resonance, the sound from the rear of the speaker 10c to the enclosure 1 The sound generated inside 0e is resonated and amplified while propagating to the outside. The sound transmitted to the front of the speaker 10c overlaps with the sound emitted from the front of the speaker 10c, creating a rich and It is perceived as a powerful bass sound. Also, when sound is generated from the speaker 10c, the sound In response to the sound, air flows out from the opening 10ec to the outside. Sound is generated from the speaker 10c. In this state, air does not flow out from the opening 10ec to the outside.

[0021] According to such a speaker unit 10, the upper left portion 10ea of ​​the enclosure 10e is Because it has a partially bulged shape, it has a larger capacity than a rectangular enclosure, for example. This allows the speaker 10c to produce powerful bass with sufficient sound pressure. can.

[0022] When sound is generated from the speaker 10c, the enclosure 10e Therefore, the wind can be blown out from the opening 10ec with sufficient wind pressure.

[0023] Furthermore, when the speaker 10c generates sound, the entire enclosure 10e is subjected to the sound pressure. The enclosure 10e vibrates in response to the vibration, but the upper left 10ea and lower left 10eb of the enclosure 10e are the main upper plate. Since the vibrations are in contact with the upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p, This is transmitted to the entire plate body 18p. This allows a lot of play in the upper plate body 17p and the lower plate body 18p. Even if game balls are stored, game balls coming out from the payout port 170 and the discharge port 180 Vibration can effectively prevent ball clogging.

[0024] [Blower mechanism 110] The blower mechanism 110 changes the direction of the airflow blown out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. The switch is disposed adjacent to the right side surface of the enclosure 10e. As shown in FIG. 19, the blower mechanism 110 is made up of cover members 110A and 110B which can be separated into two parts, left and right. 0B, solenoid 111, slide member 112, link member 113, spring 114, opening / closing section The solenoid 111, the slide member 112, and the open / close detection sensor 116 are provided. The link member 113, the spring 114, the opening / closing member 115, and the opening / closing detection sensor 116 are connected to the cover. - is housed inside members 110A and 110B.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the cover member 110A has an opening for the enclosure 10e. The opening / closing member 115 opens and closes the space 110a in a direction directly facing the opening 10ec. The lower part of the space 110a is always open regardless of whether the opening / closing member 115 is open or closed. The ventilation hole 8ca is provided in the under cover 8c (see FIG. 16). As shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. 19, the cover member 110B has a space portion 110a and a An opening 110b is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 110b. As a part of the right side cover 8b, a vent 80 is provided in the removable lower right side cover 8ba (see FIG. 12, 15 and 16). As a result, the opening and closing member 115 closes the space 110a. In the closed state, the wind blown out from the opening 10ec hits the opening / closing member 115 and is blocked, and the opening The air is guided downward into the space 110a without passing through 110b. The air is then blown out through the ventilation opening 8ca of the under cover 8c. When the opening / closing member 115 opens the space 110a, the liquid is discharged from the opening 10ec. The wind flows in a generally straight line without being blocked by the opening / closing member 115, and flows through the space 110a and the opening After passing through 110b, the air passes through the ventilation opening 80 in the lower right side cover 8ba and is then blown out to the outside. The launch handle 26b of the launch device 26 is disposed in a position generally directly opposite the air outlet 80. The air coming out of the air outlet 80 hits the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. That is, the space 110a, the opening 110b, and the air outlet 80 are connected through the opening 10ec. The airflow path through the launch handle 26b is generally straight, so the launch handle It is possible to make the wind reach the hand of the player holding the dollar 26b without weakening the wind pressure as much as possible. This allows the player to feel the wind with certainty. Regardless of whether the opening is open or closed, the sound emitted from the opening 10ec along with the wind is The heat is released to the outside through either the vent or the vent hole 8ca, so the heat is not released due to Helmholtz resonance. You can fully experience deep bass without reducing the acoustic effect.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 17 to 20, the solenoid 111 projects and contracts in response to an on / off operation. The plunger 111a is retractable. The tip of the plunger 111a is connected to a slide member The slide member 112 is connected to the cover portion 112 so as to be movable in the horizontal direction. The slide member 112 is supported by a member 110A. In the long hole 112a, a connecting portion of the link member 113 is formed. The base end 113b of the link member 113 is rotatably supported by the The link member 113 is supported by the bar member 110A and has a spring 114 at a portion near the tip of the link member 113. The other end of the spring 114 is fixed to a suitable portion of the cover member 110A. A long hole 113c is formed at the tip of the link member 113. The connecting pin 115a provided on the opening / closing member 115 is movably engaged. 5 is movable between a closed position in which it remains in the space 110a and an open position in which it is shifted from the space 110a. The open / close detection sensor 116 is, for example, a touch sensor. When the opening / closing member 115 is in the open position, the ring sensor 114 is turned on. When a part of the lock member 113 comes into contact with or approaches the space 110a, the space 110a is in an open state. When the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed position, the link member 113 detects whether the opening / closing member 115 is in the closed position. By moving away from the sensor 116, it is detected that the space 110a is in a closed state. The open / close detection sensor 116 is electrically connected to the sub-control board 33.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, when the solenoid 111 is in the OFF state, the plunger 111a When in the extended position, the slide member 112 is located to the left in the figure, and the tip of the link member 113 As a result of the end side being pulled by the spring 114, the connecting pin 114 is inserted into the long hole 113c at the tip end. The opening and closing member 115 connected via the opening and closing member 15a remains in the closing position of the space portion 110a, At this time, the link member 113 is in a closed state from the open / close detection sensor 116. Since the door is located away from the door, the open / close detection sensor 116 does not output a detection signal indicating the closed state. The signal is supplied to the control board 33.

[0028] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, when the solenoid 111 is turned on, the plan The plunger 111a moves from the protruding position to the retracted position. When the slide member 112 moves, the slide member 112 moves to the right in the figure, and the link member 113 The tip end side rotates counterclockwise around the base end portion 113b against the pulling force of the spring 114. As a result, the link member 113 is connected to the long hole 113c through the connecting pin 115a. The opened / close member 115 moves from the space 110a to a retreated position on the right side in the figure, At this time, the link member 113 is in the open / closed state. Since the opening / closing detection sensor 116 comes into contact with or is in close proximity to the opening / closing detection sensor 116, a detection signal indicating an open state is output. The signal is supplied to the sub-control board 33.

[0029] According to the above-described blowing mechanism 110, air flows from the opening 10ec through the blowing port 80 to the launch handle. The air flow path leading to the opening 26b is generally linear, and the opening 10ec is located between the opening 10ec and the air outlet 80. When the space 110a in which the liquid is placed is controlled to be in a closed or open state, In this case, the airflow from the opening 10ec is guided to the vent 8ca located below the space 110a. On the other hand, when the space 110a is in an open state, the air flow from the opening 10ec The air is guided in a straight line from the space 110a through the opening 110b to the air outlet 80. The air coming out of the air outlet 80 flows straight toward the launch handle 26b. The ball flows and hits the hand of the player holding the launch handle 26b. You can hear the low tones with your ears and feel the wind with your skin. When the wind is guided to the ventilation opening 8ca, the player's hand may be placed near the ventilation opening 8ca. Therefore, for example, it is possible to feel only the deep bass sound through the ears without feeling the wind. do.

[0030] [Lighting unit 12] The light emitting unit 12 emits light onto the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. The light emitting unit 12 is disposed diagonally above and to the left of the launch handle 26b. Although the illustration and description are omitted, a plurality of LEDs as light emitting means, a plurality of LEDs are mounted The light emitting substrate includes a light guide plate for guiding light from a plurality of LEDs in a predetermined direction. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, in a predetermined direction in which light from the light-emitting unit 12 is guided, An irradiation window 81 is provided in the upper right side cover 8bb, which is detachable as a part of the lower plate cover 8b. The light from the light emitting unit 12 is guided through the irradiation window 81 to the launch handle 26b. The light is projected in the direction of the arrow 26b and reflected as a spotlight on the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. This allows the user to feel the wind on their skin and the deep bass on their ears, as well as the light they see. It can stimulate the senses and make you feel.

[0031] [Electrical configuration of the gaming machine] Next, the control circuit of the gaming machine according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In Figure 21, "switch" is abbreviated as "SW" and "solenoid" is abbreviated as "SOL." Please write down.

[0034] The main CPU 280 is connected to the main ROM 281 and the main RAM 282. A function of executing various processes according to the programs stored in the main ROM 281. has.

[0035] The main control board 28 includes a first start port (not shown) disposed behind the first start port of the game board 1. The first start port switch 311 is connected. The first start port switch 311 detects the game ball. Once it is drawn, a lottery will be held to determine the winning ticket.

[0036] The main control board 28 includes a second starting hole (not shown) disposed behind the second starting hole (not shown) on the game board 1. The second start switch 312 is connected. The second start switch 312 detects the game ball. Once it is drawn, a lottery will be held to determine the winning ticket.

[0037] These first start port switch 311 and second start port switch 312 are the first start port and When it is detected that the game ball has entered the second starting hole, it is determined that a win has been won and a predetermined detection signal is sent. Supplied to the main control board 28.

[0038] The main control board 28 includes a passage gate (not shown) disposed behind the passage gate of the game board 1. The gate switch 314 is connected. The passing gate switch 314 detects the game ball. If the ball is drawn, it is considered that the ball has entered the gate and a regular symbol lottery is held. The result of the regular symbol lottery is displayed on the regular symbol display section 5A provided on the game board 1. When a specific symbol is displayed in the normal symbol display section 5A, the normal symbol lottery is held. An image that allows the player to understand that the result is a win is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4. It may be possible to do so.

[0039] The pass gate switch 314 is turned on when it detects that the game ball has passed through the pass gate. As a result, a predetermined detection signal is sent to the main control board 28. Switch 314 triggers the opening of the second trigger port.

[0040] The main control board 28 is provided with a general winning port (not shown) on the game board 1. The general winning port switch 310 is connected. When this is detected, the payout device 35 dispenses a preset number of winning balls.

[0041] The main control board 28 includes a first large winning slot (not shown) on the game board 1. The first major prize slot count switch 315 is connected to the first major prize slot count switch 3 15 is for counting the number of winning balls in the first big winning slot. When the winning ball is detected by the ball count switch 315, the payout device 35 A set number of game balls are dispensed as prize balls through the payout port 170 or the discharge port 180 into the upper tray 17 or makes a payment onto the lower tray 18.

[0042] The main control board 28 includes a second large winning hole (not shown) disposed at the back of the game board 1. The second large prize winning port count switch 316 is connected. 16 is for counting the number of balls that enter the second big prize slot. When the winning ball is detected by the ball count switch 316, the payout device 35 A set number of game balls are dispensed as prize balls through the payout outlet 170 or the discharge outlet 180 into the upper tray 17 or makes a payment onto the lower tray 18.

[0043] These first and second large prize slot count switches 315 and 31 6 is a main control device that generates a predetermined detection signal when a game ball passes through the first large winning hole and the second large winning hole. The control substrate 28 is supplied with the

[0044] The main control board 28 has a specific area and a non-specific area (not shown) inside the second large winning port. The specific area switch 317A and the non-specific area switch 317B are connected The specific area switch 317A is a switch that switches the game ball through a specific area in a big win game state. When the above is detected, a predetermined detection signal is sent to the main control board 28 as a V win. The area switch 317B detects that the game ball has passed through a non-specific area during a jackpot game state. If detected, a predetermined detection signal is sent to the main control board 28 as a non-V winning.

[0045] The main control board 28 drives a first large prize opening shutter (not shown) that opens and closes the first large prize opening. A second large prize opening solenoid 315A for opening and closing the second large prize opening, and a second large prize opening shutter ( The solenoid 316A drives the second large prize opening (not shown) and the second large prize opening solenoid 316B. The first large prize opening shutter is in an open state (first mode) in which the game ball can easily enter the first large prize opening. ) and a closed state (second mode) in which it is impossible or difficult for the game ball to win. In a situation where the first large winning hole is at least closed, the second large winning hole shutter The open state allows the game ball to enter the second large winning hole, and the open state allows the game ball to enter the second large winning hole, but it is difficult or impossible for the game ball to enter the second large winning hole. The first and second large prize opening shutters are driven to change from a closed state to a closed state. The opening drive of the first and second large prize openings by the prize opening shutter is provided on the game board 1. A specific stop display of a special symbol in the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D This is performed when the game state is changed to a jackpot game state.

[0046] The main control board 28 is a blade member switch that opens and closes the blade member (not shown) provided in the second starting port. This controls the light emitting diode 313 so that the normal symbol display section 5A emits light in a predetermined manner. When the normal symbol is displayed, the blade member is opened for a predetermined time and a predetermined number of times. This makes it easier for the game ball to enter the second starting hole.

[0047] For example, in the normal symbol game of this embodiment, a game state other than the time-saving game state (non-determined The probability of winning a normal symbol in the variable / non-time-limited play state is 1 / 256, and the blade members open. It will not be released. On the other hand, the probability of hitting a normal symbol in a high probability state (time-saving game state) is , for example, 255 / 256, and when this is won, the blade member moves for, for example, 1.3 seconds. It is opened three times. Also, the number of normal symbols that become the winning symbols in the normal symbol game is one. Therefore, when the second starting hole is opened, the upper limit of the winning count is 10 counts (10 balls).

[0048] The main control board 28 is configured to open and close a displacement member (not shown) in a specific area within the second large winning opening. This controls the displacement member solenoid 318 to operate. When a game is being played, the displacement member is in an open state for a predetermined period of time and a predetermined number of times. On the other hand, even in a jackpot game state, the displacement member When the designated area is closed, it becomes impossible or difficult for the game ball to pass through the designated area, and the game ball cannot pass through the non-designated area. This makes it easier for the game ball to pass through.

[0049] The first special symbol reserved display unit 5E is the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D. When the first start switch 311 detects a game ball while the display is fluctuating, , the first special symbol being displayed in the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D The first special symbol based on the winning of the game ball into the first starting hole is displayed until the pattern or the second special symbol is displayed. The number of reserved executions (starts) of the variable display of another pattern, that is, the reserved number related to the first special pattern When the first or second special symbol that was displayed in a variable state is displayed in a static state, The display of the changes in the first special pattern that was reserved as the reserved number for the first special pattern begins.

[0050] The second special symbol reserved display unit 5F is the first special symbol display unit 5C or the second special symbol display unit 5D. When the second start switch 312 detects a game ball while the variable display is , the first special symbol being displayed in the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D The second special symbol based on the winning of the game ball into the second starting hole is displayed until the pattern or the second special symbol is displayed. The number of reserved executions (starts) of the variable display of another pattern, that is, the reserved number related to the second special pattern When the first or second special symbol that was displayed in a variable state is displayed in a static state, The display of the changes in the second special symbol that was reserved as the reserved number for the second special symbol begins.

[0051] Here, in the pachinko gaming machine of this embodiment, the first special symbol and the second special symbol change The priority order for display is set so that the second special symbol has priority over the first special symbol. However, according to the order of winning the first and second starting holes, the corresponding first special symbols and 2 The special symbols may be displayed in a variable manner in the order of the winning symbols.

[0052] In addition, there is an upper limit to the number of reserved special symbol changes that can be held in reserve. In this embodiment, the main CPU 280 detects whether the game ball has entered the first start hole and the second start hole. Then, the first start hole switch 311 and the second start hole switch 312 detect the game ball. The number of reserved first and second special symbols when the In other words, up to four detections are stored, and the fifth and subsequent detections are not stored as reserved numbers. In this case, when the number of reserved numbers decreases due to the end of the special pattern change display, the reserved number is again Residues are added up to a maximum of four.

[0053] The number of reserved first special symbol games in the first special symbol display unit 5C is, for example, up to four. In this case, the information of the special symbol game corresponding to the first special symbol display unit 5C during the change is displayed on the main The first special symbol start memory area (0) of RAM 282 is stored as a start memory, and thereafter, it is reserved. The information on the special symbol game with four symbols is stored in the first special symbol start memory area of ​​the main RAM 282. The start-up memories are stored in order from (1) to (4).

[0054] Similarly, in the second special symbol game in the second special symbol display unit 5D, When the number of reserved games is, for example, four, the second special symbol display unit 5D is changed. The corresponding information of the second special symbol game is stored in the second special symbol start memory area ( 0) is stored as a start memory, and after that, the information of the second special pattern game with four reserved numbers is The second special symbol start memory area (1) to (4) of the main RAM 282 is sequentially recorded as a start memory. It is remembered.

[0055] Therefore, the game balls for the special symbol game associated with winning the first and second starting holes The number of reserved items is a maximum of 8 in total, and the first special pattern reserved display unit 5E and the second special pattern reserved display unit 5C are displayed. The number of pending items displayed on display unit 5F will also be four.

[0056] The opening state of the first major prize gate by the first major prize gate shutter is determined by the first major prize gate count switch. The count value (number of winning balls) by the chip 315 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 winning balls). or the predetermined release time described below has elapsed. When the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number, or the first winning hole shutter is closed, When the opening time has elapsed, the first large prize opening shutter will be driven to close the first large prize opening. Be moved.

[0057] The opening state of the second large prize winning port by the second large prize winning port shutter is also the second large prize winning port count. When the count value (number of winning balls) by the switch 316 reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 winning balls), Either the condition is met, or the predefined release time described below has elapsed. The condition is maintained until the number of winning balls reaches a certain number, or the second winning slot is opened. If the opening time of the shutter has elapsed, the second large prize opening shutter will close the second large prize opening. It is driven like this.

[0058] In the jackpot game state, the opening and closing pattern of the big prize opening (win opening and closing pattern) is set in advance. The first and second big prize winning holes are repeatedly opened and closed. In the skill state, the first and second large prize openings are opened and closed in a large prize opening pattern ( The game of opening and closing the game a predetermined number of times based on the opening and closing pattern is called "Ra Round games are simply games played in a round. In some cases, the first or second prize gate is closed after one round game. After the lockup is complete, the first or second winning slot will be opened for the next round game. The state until the state is reached is "inter-round game" or "inter-round interval" " or simply "interval". In a round game, the first entrant There may be cases where the prize slot and the second prize slot are open and closed multiple times. In addition, in one round game, the open / close states of the first and second major prize gates are exclusive. In other words, in one round game, one of the big prize slots is controlled by the predetermined number of times. While the opening is repeatedly opened several times, the other big prize opening continues to be closed.

[0059] In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, there are other gaming states that are different from the big win gaming state. The small win game state is different from the big win game state. Not limited by the concept of a round game, in the small win game state of this embodiment, The large prize opening is set to be repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times. In the game state, any or a specific winning slot may be selected once or multiple times. The small win game state may be controlled so that the reel is in a return open state. This is the game state that is entered when a small jackpot is won. After the end of the game, the game state basically does not change. For example, in a non-variable game state, If you win and move to a small win game state, the game state after the small win game state ends The state remains in the non-variable state before the transition to the small win game state, and the state transitions to the variable game state. Similarly, if a small jackpot is won during a probability change game state, the game will transition to a small jackpot game state. If this happens, the game state after the end of this small win game state will be the number of games remaining in the probability game state. As long as the game is in the normal state, the game will remain in the normal state before the small win game state is entered, and the game will not be in the normal state after the small win game state is entered. There is no need to do anything.

[0060] Round games are counted as rounds (number of times), such as 1 round, 2 rounds, etc. In one round game, the first or second main prize slot is opened a specified number of times. If the upper limit of the number of winnings per round is reached before the state is changed to the 1st and 2nd main winning slots, The main prize gate will be closed, and the first and second main prize gates will be closed for the remaining number of openings. The round game is ended without being opened.

[0061] In addition, in a specific round game where the second big prize hole is open during a big win game, The displacement member is controlled based on a preset operation pattern (displacement member operation pattern). As a result, the specific area is opened in a specific round game in a jackpot game state. In other words, in a specific round game, a specific area is in a play state and a closed state. While the ball may pass through and win the V, round games other than the specific round game So, even if the game ball enters the second big winning hole, the game ball cannot pass through the specific area. In other words, the type of the big win game state includes a specific round game. There are jackpot gaming states that include a specific round game and jackpot gaming states that do not include a specific round game.

[0062] On the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4, a first special symbol display section 5C and a second special symbol display section 5D are displayed. A special image related to the special symbol displayed in the first special symbol display is displayed. During the variable display of the special symbols displayed in the first special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D, Except in certain cases, the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 displays a pattern (decorative pattern) consisting of numbers, e.g. Three rows of numbers such as "0", "1", "2", "7" etc. are displayed in a changing pattern.

[0063] On the other hand, the first special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D are displayed in a variable manner. When the special symbol is stopped and displayed, the decorative symbol is also stopped and displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4. will be done.

[0064] In addition, the first special symbol display section 5C and the second special symbol display section 5D are changed and stopped. When the special symbols are displayed in a specific manner, the player knows that it is a "jackpot". An effect image that causes the player to perform the action is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

[0065] Specifically, in either the first special symbol display section 5C or the second special symbol display section 5D, If a special symbol is displayed in a specific display mode corresponding to, for example, a "jackpot," The combination of decorative patterns for the performance displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4 is a specific display mode. (For example, a state where the same symbols are displayed in a line in each of multiple symbol rows. Furthermore, a performance image for a big win is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 4.

[0066] The main CPU 280 of the main control board 28 is a predetermined area in the game area 1p. When the game ball passes through the first starting hole and the second starting hole, the player will receive a special game (jackpot) that is advantageous to the player. The present invention realizes a lottery means capable of selecting whether or not to execute a game state.

[0067] The main ROM 281 performs various processes such as jackpot lottery and pattern lottery, etc., on the main CPU 2 It stores programs to be executed by the 80 and various tables.

[0068] For example, as shown in FIG. 22, the main ROM 281 stores a table There is a winning lottery table and a pattern lottery table. The winning lottery table is a random number It is used when a random number is drawn by lottery.

In particular, the sub-CPU 330 receives various signals from the main control board 28. In accordance with these commands, the entire sub-control board 33 is controlled.

[0088] The program ROM 331 is a program for the sub-CPU 330 to mainly control various effects. It stores programs and various tables.

[0089] For example, as shown in FIG. 22, the table stored in the program ROM 331 is The performance lottery table includes, for example, the speaker unit 10 and the transmission unit 11. The fan mechanism 110 is used to blow air (air blowing effect), and the light emitting unit 12 is used to emit light. The performance (light irradiation performance), the operation performance using the operation member 2000 or the push button 3000 A selection of effects to determine whether or not to execute various effects such as the first operation effect and the second operation effect. This is used when selecting the winner by random number lottery. In addition, a sound effect is also executed in which low-pitched sounds are generated using the speaker 10c. The first operation is a performance using the operation member 2000 of the operation unit 9A, and the second operation performance is a performance using the operation member 2000 of the operation unit 9A. This is a performance using the push button 3000 of unit 9B.

[0090] Specifically, the lottery table is a lottery for winning the jackpot, winning the 4R regular jackpot, and winning the 1 In the case of winning a 6R regular jackpot, a 4R special jackpot, or a 16R special jackpot, Whether or not to execute each of the following effects is determined by random number selection (range 0 The lottery value is determined by drawing lots from 1 to 99.

[0091] According to such a performance lottery table, the result of the big win lottery for the air blowing performance is a miss. In this case, a random number between 0 and 99 will be drawn to determine "no effects" and the 4R normal large In the case of a win, if a random number between 0 and 30 is drawn, "no effect" is determined, while if it is between 31 and 9 If a random number of 9 is extracted, "Performance" is determined, and in the case of a 16R normal jackpot, the range is 0 to 95 If a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, "no effect" is decided, while if a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, When the "Performance" is selected, a random number between 0 and 50 is selected in the case of a 4R special jackpot. "No effect" is determined, while "effect" is determined if a random number between 51 and 99 is drawn. In the case of a 16R jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 50 is drawn, "no performance" is determined. On the other hand, if a random number between 51 and 99 is drawn, it is determined that there will be a special effect.

[0092] Regarding the light projection effect, if the jackpot lottery result is a miss, a random number between 0 and 90 is drawn. If a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, "effect" is selected, while "effect" is selected. In the case of a 4R normal jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 90 is selected, "no performance" is determined. On the other hand, if a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, a "performance" is determined, and a 16R regular large In the case of a win, a random number between 0 and 99 is always drawn to determine whether or not a "performance" will occur, and 4R will be guaranteed. In the case of a special jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 90 is drawn, "no performance" is decided, while if it is 91 If a random number of ~99 is selected, a "performance" is determined, and in the case of a 16R special jackpot, "Special effects" are determined by drawing a random number between 0 and 99.

[0093] For the first operation, if the jackpot lottery result is a miss, a random number between 0 and 95 is drawn. If a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, "no effect" is determined, whereas if a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, "effect" is determined. In the case of a 4R normal jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 50 is selected, "no performance" is selected. On the other hand, if a random number between 51 and 99 is drawn, "Performance" is determined, and 16R normal In the case of a jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 50 is selected, "no effect" will be selected, while if a random number between 51 and When a random number of 99 is extracted, "Performance" is determined, and in the case of a 4R special jackpot, the number of 0 to 85 is If a random number between 86 and 99 is drawn, "no effect" is decided, while if a random number between 86 and 99 is drawn, If you select "16R jackpot", a random number between 0 and 95 will be selected. If a random number between 96 and 99 is drawn, it is determined to be "without effects." It is determined.

[0094] For the second operation, if the jackpot lottery result is a miss, a random number between 0 and 99 will always be drawn. When the number is released, "No performance" is decided, and in the case of a 4R normal jackpot, a random number from 0 to 97 is drawn. If a random number between 98 and 99 is drawn, it means "no effect" will be selected, while if a random number between 98 and 99 is drawn, it means "all effects" will be selected. In the case of a 16R normal jackpot, a random number between 0 and 99 is always drawn to determine the winning number. "No performance" is decided, and in the case of a 4R special jackpot, when a random number value from 0 to 90 is drawn, "Performance" is decided. On the other hand, if a random number between 91 and 99 is drawn, "with effect" is determined, In the case of a 16R jackpot, if a random number between 0 and 60 is drawn, "no performance" is decided. On the other hand, if a random number between 61 and 99 is drawn, it is determined that there will be a special effect.

[0095] According to such a performance lottery table, the blowing performance, the light irradiation performance, the first operation performance, the second operation performance, The combination of these two effects, which occur simultaneously, determines whether the winning or losing combination will occur. The probability varies depending on the type. In other words, the probability of a miss depends on the combination pattern of the effects that occur. This makes it easier to guess the type of jackpot or big win.

[0096] In addition, as is clear from the content of the regulations regarding the operation performance, pressing the second operation unit 9B Rather than the second operation using the pressure button 3000, the operation member 200 of the first operation unit 9A The first operation using 0 appears more frequently. The pressing button 30 used in the second operation performance is different from the operating member 2000 used in the first operation performance. Since the frequency of use of the button 00 is low, it is not related to the operation effects arranged near the button 3000. This prevents accidental operation of buttons such as the cross button 3100, which is not related to the camera, and also prevents the use of buttons that are frequently used. By providing the easy-to-use operation member 2000 in an independent operation unit, wiring and boards can be easily designed. It is possible.

[0097] The work RAM 332 serves as a temporary storage area for the sub-CPU 330 and stores various data (flags, , counters, timers, and variable values, etc.

[0098] The command input port 333 receives each command sent from the main CPU 280 of the main control board 28. It receives a seed command and transmits it to the sub CPU 330 .

[0099] The RTC334 transmits a date signal indicating the current date and a time signal indicating the current time to the sub-CPU. The RTC 334 normally inputs the following when power is supplied to the gaming machine main body: It operates on power from the gaming machine itself, and when the power to the gaming machine itself is turned off, It operates on power supplied from a backup power supply mounted on the board (not shown). This allows the RTC 334 to display the current date and time even when the power to the gaming machine is turned off. The RTC is powered by a battery installed on the sub-control board. Alternatively, an alternative to the RTC would be a backup RAM. A counter in the work RAM with this function is counted at regular intervals (for example, every 2 ms). It may also be used as a means for measuring time by counting up the time.

[0100] The display control circuit 335 controls the liquid crystal display device in response to data supplied from the sub-CPU 330. The display control unit 4 is a display control unit for controlling the display of a video data processor (VDP) or the like. an image data ROM in which data for generating various image data is stored; A frame buffer temporarily stores image data, and a D / A converter converts the image data into image signals.

From the diagonal lower side of the front cover 141, the light is evenly faintly coming from above. Lines of light appear to emerge three-dimensionally below.

[0124] [Right side decorative unit 14b] The right side decorative unit 14b performs effects such as sound and light emission at the start of a big win. As shown in Figs. 34 to 39, the right decorative unit 14b is a speaker unit. 10A, main body support member 147A, main body cover 147B, front cover 147C, light emitting substrate 1 The speaker unit 10A and the light emitting board 148 are supported by the main body. The light emitting substrate 148 is attached to the rear of the support member 147A, and the light emitting substrate 148 is attached to the front of the speaker unit 10A. The light guide member 149 is attached to the inside of the front side of the main body support member 147A. The front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C is made of a mesh. The vibrating surface of the speaker 10b and the light guide member 149 are visible through the gaps. will be done.

[0125] The speaker unit 10A is arranged so that the vibration surface (sound output portion) of the speaker 10b is exposed toward the front. The light emitting substrate 148 is attached along the periphery of the opening. The light emitting substrate 148 has a plurality of LEDs arranged in a ring shape along the periphery of the speaker 10b. D148a is provided.

[0126] The main body support member 147A is provided with a vibration surface of the speaker 10b and a plurality of LEs of the light emitting substrate 148. An opening 147Aa is formed around the periphery of the D148a to expose the D148a and to which the light guide member 149 can be attached. It has been done.

[0127] The light guide member 149 is a cylindrical portion 14 for guiding the sound generated on the vibration surface of the speaker 10b forward. 9a, a rear incident end surface 149b which is a light incident surface located on the rear side of the periphery of the cylindrical portion 149a, a, a light exit surface 149c which is located in front of the periphery of the front end surface 149c and serves as a light exit surface; The protrusion 149d extends and widens forward from the protrusion 149.

[0128] The vibration surface of the speaker 10b is disposed at the rear of the cylindrical portion 149a. The sound generated by the vibration surface is The light is guided forward through the cylindrical portion 149a. The rear incident end surface 149b is disposed so as to face the LED 148a. Similar to the rear incident end surface 152a of the inner light guide member 152 of the member 15, the rear incident end surface 152a has irregularities along the circumferential direction. As a result, the light emitted from the LED 1 The light from 48a travels through the tube portion 149a while diffusing in the approximate circumferential direction.

[0129] The front emission end surface 149c is spaced a predetermined distance rearward from the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. The front exit end face 149c is also located in the circumferential direction in the same manner as the rear entrance end face 149b. The rear incident end surface 149b of the cylindrical portion 1 The light that travels to 49a appears as a ring when viewed from the front, spreading mainly in the circumferential direction. The light is projected forward so that the

[0130] The protruding portion 149d is formed so that a part of each of the left and right sides partially extends forward. , and is disposed so that its tip abuts against the rear side of the front surface 147Ca of the front cover 147C. The protruding portion 149d is disposed so as to be close to the rear side of the front surface 147Ca without contacting it. Alternatively, the projection 149d may be replaced by a front emission end face 149c on the rear surface of the front surface 147Ca. The side of the casing 1 may be disposed so as to abut against the casing 1 or so as to be adjacent to the casing 1 .

[0131] According to the right decorative unit 14b, the sound generated by the speaker 10b can be adjusted. This allows the speaker 10b to appear to be illuminated in a ring shape. The front surface 147Ca of the cover 147C is formed in a mesh shape, so that it is difficult to prevent the cover 147C from being exposed to the outside. However, the protrusion 149d of the light guide member 149 abuts against the Since the structure is reinforced and supported by the material, it can effectively prevent damage caused by external impacts or pressure. That is, the mesh-like (lattice-like) front cover 147C can be aligned along the light guide member 149. Therefore, the sound from the speaker 10b is guided to the rear surface of the front cover 147C, which spoils the aesthetic appearance. The sound from the speaker 10b can be transmitted to the outside without any hindrance. Since the material 149 functions as a support member for the front cover 147C, the front cover 147 The rigidity of C can be increased.

[0132] According to the gaming machine according to the first embodiment described above, the following operational effects can be obtained. can.

[0133] According to the configuration of the speaker unit 10 and its surroundings, sound is output from the speaker 10c. As a result, air flows out from the opening 10ec of the enclosure 10e. When the opening / closing member 115 of the structure 110 is in a state in which the space portion 110a is opened, air enters through the opening 10ec. The airflow is directed in a direction straight toward the air outlet 80, and the airflow is directed from the air outlet 80 to the launch handle 2. As a result, the player can easily use the launch handle 26b. The hand that holds the device feels the wind, and the sound from the speaker 10c is also blown out of the air outlet 80 along with the wind. The Helmholtz resonance with the output sound creates a deep bass feeling.

[0134] On the other hand, the opening / closing member 115 of the air blowing mechanism 110 is in a state in which the space 110a is closed, The air flow from the opening 10ec flows downward at a right angle to the space 110a. When the air is guided in the direction of the under cover 8c, the air is discharged from the vent 8ca of the under cover 8c. The wind is no longer guided to the launch handle 26b. This allows the player to The hand that holds the device does not feel the wind, and only the sound from the speaker 10c is blown through the ventilation hole 8ca. The Helmholtz resonance with the sound output at the same time creates a deep bass feeling.

[0135] That is, the direction of the air flowing out from the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 is controlled by the air blowing mechanism 11. By simply switching between 0 and 1, you can feel the bass and wind, or just the bass. This allows the speaker unit 10 to be made smaller and simpler while still providing a sound and wind effect. It can be done flexibly.

[0136] In addition, the direction of the air coming out of the opening 10ec of the speaker unit 10 is controlled by the air blowing mechanism 110. By simply switching the setting, you can choose to experience sound and wind, or just sound. The right lower side cover 8ba and the under cover 8c are provided with an air outlet 80 and a vent hole 8ca. , and a blower mechanism 110 is arranged between the speaker unit 10 and each of them. Therefore, the manufacturing cost and design of the speaker unit 10 and its peripheral configuration can be reduced. It is possible to provide a system with excellent flexibility and maintainability.

[0137] In addition, the speaker unit 10 is a bass reflex type and the volume of the enclosure 10e is relatively large. However, it must not be an obstacle to the hands of the players who handle the game balls stored in the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18. Since the speaker unit 10 can be placed in a small space, the placement space of the speaker unit 10 can be secured. Furthermore, the speaker device can be laid out efficiently.

[0138] In addition, when the upper left portion 10ea of ​​the enclosure 10e abuts against the bottom of the upper tray body 17p, The left lower part 10eb also abuts against the lower plate body 18p, so that it supports the upper plate 17p and also supports the slide plate 18p. In response to the operation of the speaker 10c, vibrations from the enclosure 10e are transmitted to the upper plate 17 and the lower plate 18. This vibration effectively removes clogging of game balls in the upper tray 17 and the lower tray 18. It is possible.

[0139] In addition, the first operation using the operating member 2000 is more effective than the second operation using the pressing button 3000. The operation performance is set to occur more frequently, i.e., the operation that is used more frequently is The operation member 2000 is provided alone on the operation unit 9A, while the pressing button which is used infrequently is 3000 is provided on a common board 3200 that also serves as the ball loan button 23 and the return button 24. The operating member 2000 and the push button 3000 are arranged at positions that are easy to use depending on the frequency of use. This simplifies the wiring to each board, and thus reduces manufacturing costs and space. Savings can be achieved.

[0140] In addition, the operating member 2000 that is used frequently is remembered as being circular, while the operating member 2000 that is used less frequently is remembered as being circular. The push button 3000 is easier to remember as it is a square shape, which is different from a circular shape, so it is easier to remember when you use it frequently. In accordance with the above, the operating member 2000 and the push button 3000 are provided with an easily distinguishable outer shape. This makes it easier to use multiple operating means. The push button 3000 and the cross-shaped cross button 3100 are arranged in a straight line. The ends of the parts are arranged adjacent to each other so that they face each other, making it possible to accommodate these multiple parts even in a small space. A number of buttons can be arranged.

[0141] In addition, there are games that are advantageous to players, such as 16R normal jackpots or 16R special jackpots. When the conditions for transitioning to the state are met, the light irradiation performance will always be executed, and the air blowing performance will also be executed. The player must have visual and physical contact with the hand holding the launch handle 26b so that the shot may be fired. By using either the sense of touch, the light irradiation effect or the air blowing effect is sensed. It is possible to detect the transition to an advantageous gaming state without missing such a performance. In addition, when the air blowing effect is performed, the speaker 10c produces a deep bass sound. The performance will also be carried out at the same time, allowing you to feel the vibrations caused by the deep bass.

[0142] For example, in the right decorative member 15, the outer light guide member 151 and the inner light guide member 152 At the rear incident end surface 152a, the light is guided in the longitudinal direction of the LEDs by a sawtooth lens cut. By diffusing the light, the light travels efficiently through the light guide. 151 and the front end surface 152b of the inner light-guiding member 152 are guided from the rear end surface 152a. The light guided into the body is efficiently scattered outward by the diamond-cut lens. This makes it possible to eliminate color unevenness and irradiate light efficiently.

[0143] In addition, for example, in the right decorative unit 14b, the mesh-like front surface 1 of the front cover 147C A protrusion 149d of the light-guiding member 149 is disposed so as to abut against the rear surface of the light-guiding member 47Ca, and the light-emitting front end The surface 149c is spaced a predetermined distance from the front surface 147Ca, and does not block the vibration surface of the speaker 10b. Since the LEDs are arranged in a ring shape along the periphery of the LEDs, the LEDs located on the rear incident end face 149b side 148a can be made invisible from the front of the front cover 147C without impairing the aesthetic appearance. Therefore, sound from the speaker 10b can be emitted to the outside without any hindrance.

[0144] In addition, for example, in the central decorative unit 14a, the plurality of light guide members 146a to 146c The front end faces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb are light-shielding members through which the LEDs 144b are exposed. 145, the opening 145c of the front cover 145 is farther from the light emitting substrate 144 than the peripheral portion of the opening 145c of the front cover 145. Since the light is arranged near the front surface 141a of the opening 145c, the light is diffusely reflected by the periphery of the opening 145c and directed forward. The light from the LED 144b is guided through the light guide members 146a to 146c and exits at the front end. The light of the LED 144a irradiated from the surfaces 146ab, 146bb, and 146cb is an average The light becomes diffused and the light becomes linear, creating a clear difference in visibility of these lights. This allows for a novel lighting effect to be achieved.

[0145] As a modified example of the blower mechanism 110, one as shown in FIG. 40 may be applied. In the blower mechanism 110 shown in FIG. 40, the lower part of the space 110a and the opening 110b are exclusively blown. A rotatable shutter member 117 is provided. The shutter member 117 guides the airflow from the opening 10ec (not shown) to the opening 110b. At this time, the wind is completely guided downward into the space 110a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 40(b), the shutter member 117 is closed at the opening 1 (not shown). In the case where the airflow from Oec is guided downward into the space 110a, the horizontal At this time, the space 110a is positioned to the side of the space 110a. The airflow, which tends to move straight, is obstructed and bends at a right angle downward into the space 110a. According to the above-described blower mechanism 110, the wind is guided to the air outlet 80 (not shown). In this case, the air is blown to the air outlet 80 with sufficient air pressure without leaking downward into the space 110a. This can lead to:

[0304] As shown in FIG. 130, the blower mechanism 110 of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. The components different from the blower mechanism 110 are a first link member 120 and a second link member 12 1, a variable flap 130. Also, the cover members 110A and 110B have a wind guide. For this purpose, elliptical openings 110c and 110b are formed.

[0305] As shown in FIG. 130 and FIG. 134, the cover member 110A has the above-mentioned enclosure. An opening 110c is formed in a direction directly facing from an opening 10ec (see FIG. 16) of the tube 10e. The opening 110c is provided with a space 110a inside it. In the space 110, the variable flap 130 can be moved between an inclined position and a horizontal position. The lower part of a is always open regardless of the tilt or horizontal position of the variable flap 130. The above-mentioned ventilation hole 8ca is located there (see FIG. 16). As shown in FIG. In the cover member 110B, a straight line extending from the opening 110c of the cover member 110A to the left and right is An opening 110b is formed.

[0306] As shown in Figures 132 and 134, the solenoid 111 is linked to the on / off operation. The plunger 111a is retractable and protruding, and the tip of the plunger 111a is a first ring. The first link member 120 is connected to the base end portion 120a of the intermediate portion 12 The tip of the first link member 120 is supported by the cover member 110A so as to be rotatable. 120c is connected to a base end portion 121a of the second link member 121. 121 has an elongated opening 121b, and the rear surface of the cover member 110A is inserted into this opening 121b. The pin 110d protruding from the first hole 110 is arranged to be movable relative to the first hole 110. The second link member 121 is supported via a pin 110d so as to be movable up and down. The tip 121c of the movable flap 121 allows one end of the movable flap 130 to move left and right. As shown in FIG. 132, the plunger 111a of the solenoid 111 is connected to the end of the plunger 111a. When the first link member 120 is in the downward protruding state, the second link member 121 is in the relative As a result, the variable flap 130 is in a position where its upper end is lifted (inclined). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 134, the plunger 111a of the solenoid 111 When the first link member 120 is in the retracted state, the second link member 121 moves relatively The upper end of the variable flap 130 is pulled down (horizontal position). )

[0307] As shown in FIG. 130, the variable flap 130 has a lower end that rotates in the space 110a. The shaft 131 is rotatably supported, and the upper end is closer to the opening 11 than the lower end under normal circumstances. The tilted posture is kept close to 0c (the posture shown by the solid line in Figure 130). As described above, when the plunger 111a of the solenoid 111 is in the retracted state, the variable flag The cup 130 is in a horizontal position so as to close the lower part of the space 110a (in FIG. 130, As shown in FIG. 131, the opening is formed in the inner portion of the cover member 110B. A resilient buffer member 132 is attached to the upper edge of the portion 110b. When the flap 130 is in the inclined position, the wind blows the variable flap 130 toward the buffer member 132. The upper end portion of the variable flap 130 is pressed against the buffer member 132. This prevents wind from leaking through the gap between the opening 110b and the variable flap 130. On the right side of the opening 110b, the above-mentioned FIG. An air outlet 80 as shown at 16 is located.

[0308] When the variable flap 130 is in the tilted position, the wind blown out from the opening 10ec (see FIG. 16) is blocked by the variable flap 130 and enters the space 110 without passing through the opening 110b. The air that is guided downward into the space 110a is The air is sent to the outside through the vent 8ca (see FIG. 16) of the dark cover 8c. When the flap 130 is in a horizontal position, the wind blown out from the opening 10ec (see FIG. 16) can The air flows almost straight without being blocked by the variable flap 130, passes through the space 110a, and reaches the opening The wind that passes through the opening 110b is directed toward the lower right side. The air is blown out through the air outlet 80 (see Figs. 15 and 16) of the cover 8ba. The launch handle 26b of the launcher 26 is disposed at a position generally directly opposite to the launcher 80. The air coming out of the air outlet 80 hits the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. As shown in FIG. 1, under normal circumstances, the wind is guided downward without leaking toward the launch handle 26b. On the other hand, when the wind is guided toward the launch handle 26b in response to the sound effects, etc., the air is guided from the opening 10ec. The air flow path from the space 110a to the openings 110c and 110b and the air outlet 80 is roughly Since the ball is formed quickly, the wind pressure is as weak as possible to the player's hand holding the launch handle 26b. This allows the wind to reach the area without any distortion.

[0309] According to the above-described blowing mechanism 110, the air flows in the air as the sound is output from the speaker 10c. The airflow flowing out from the opening 10ec of the closure 10e changes the horizontal position of the variable flap 130. The linear guide of the variable flap 26b leads to the launch handle 26b. When the inclined position of 130 bends and guides downward, it is guided toward the launch handle 26b. Therefore, the blower mechanism 110 can be made compact without any resistance to the launch handle 26b. It is possible to guide the airflow with a sufficient volume without resistance, and the speaker unit 10 can be made smaller and It is possible to simplify the system.

[0310] In addition, even when the variable flap 130 is in the inclined position, the upper end of the variable flap 130 and The buffer member 132 can prevent air from leaking between the opposing contact surfaces. Therefore, the airflow can be guided toward the launch handle 26b with a sufficient amount of airflow without resistance. When directing the airflow downward, it is possible to prevent the air from leaking toward the launch handle 26b. Cut.
