It is detected by an operation port switch 224 (not shown) for the second start port 33b. That is, in either case of entering a game ball into the first start port 33a on the upper side or entering a game ball into the second start port 33b on the lower side, it is a start prize. There is no change, and those balls can be detected individually.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and game balls that have not entered the various winning devices or the like pass through the out port 36 in a ball discharge path (not shown). You will be guided toward. A number of nails are planted on the game board 30 in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (acts) such as the windmill 37 are arranged.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a first symbol display device 40 that variably displays a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information with a winning at the first starting port 33a and the second starting port 33b as a trigger. Using the passage of the third start port 34 as a trigger, the second symbol display device 41 that variably displays the second symbol (for example, the normal symbol), and the first start port 33a and the second start port 33b are awarded. As a trigger, a third symbol display device 42 that variably displays a third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) is provided.

  The first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a plurality of (two in the present embodiment) two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40a that emit variable light emission or the like based on the ball entering the first start port 33a. 40b, a holding lamp 40c indicating the number of holdings of the variable display by the LEDs 40a and 40b, and a plurality (two in this embodiment) of 2 that emit light varying based on the ball entering the second start port 33b. There are provided color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40d and 40e and a holding lamp 40f indicating the number of holdings of variable display on the LEDs 40d and 40e.

  For example, the LEDs 40a and 40b that perform variable light emission based on entering the first start port 33a can emit red and blue light. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40a, 40b) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40a, 40b, for example, When both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40a and 40b When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  Similarly to the above, the LEDs 40d and 40e that emit light in a variable manner based on the ball entering the second start port 33b can emit light in red and blue, for example. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40d, 40e) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40d, 40e, for example, When both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt the single LED of the type which can light-emit at least 3 colors or more, and by performing light emission of each color alternately, the 1st symbol is displayed. When the LED stops in the light emission state of the first color, it shows a probable big hit (specific hit), and when the LED stops in the light emission state of the second color, it usually shows a big hit (non-specific hit) When the LED stops in the light emission state of the third color, it may be indicated that the LED has come off. The first symbol display device 40 described above corresponds to the identification information variation display means.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and a holding lamp 41c. When the game ball passes through the second starting port 34, for example, the display symbols (ordinary symbols) displayed by the display units 41a and 41b change, and when the change display stops at a predetermined symbol, the lower side The two start ports 33b are configured to be activated (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 described later, three decorative symbol rows L, M, and R on the left, middle, and right are displayed. Each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R. The In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large liquid crystal display of 11 inch size. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 on the front side of the third symbol display device 42 so as to substantially surround the display screen of the third symbol display device 42 when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, an LCD is employed as the third symbol display device 42, but other types of image display devices (for example, PDP: plasma display panel, EL: electroluminescence display, organic EL, etc.) may be used. . The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win, and is in an open state in which a game ball is easy to win in a big hit and a normal closed state. It is operated repeatedly. In this way, the state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in the open state and the normal closed state at the time of a big win is called a specific gaming state (for example, a big winning state), and the variable winning device 32 has a large number of games. Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls thrown in (the number of game balls launched into the game area 30a by the game ball launching device 38) is the number of game ball award balls paid out (general winning port 31). , The number of prize balls paid out based on the number of game balls entered into the variable prize device 32, the start prize device 33, the third start port 34, etc.) and the prize of the game balls It is possible to change the state to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state) in which the number of balls paid out is larger than the number of game balls inserted.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start port 33a, the two LEDs 40a and 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40a and 40b after the change is stopped is a preset light emission. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light-emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the special game state of normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light-emission mode that both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in the light-emission state of different colors (You have lost the game).

  Similarly to the above, when the game ball wins the second start opening 33b, the two LEDs 40d, 40e of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40d, 40e after the change stop is preset. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of light emission modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a blue light emitting state In the case of the light emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the specific game state of the normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light emission mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in the light emission states of different colors (You have lost the game).

  The variable winning device 32 is configured such that the large winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start port 33a is held up to 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed by the holding lamp 40c. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 33b is also held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed by the hold lamp 40f. Note that the hold lamps 40c and 40f may be configured to hold display on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 is provided with a plurality of rails 51 and 52 for guiding the game balls launched from the game ball launching device 38 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the game board 30. Thus, the game balls launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 are guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the plurality of rails 51 and 52. . The plurality of rails 51 and 52 are long metal strip members made of stainless steel, and are attached to the game board 30 in an inner and outer double. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially vertical elliptical shape except for about 1/4 of the upper side. The outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51. In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a ball guide passage 49 is formed by a portion (the left portion toward the left) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. . The ball guide passage 49 is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is opened.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 2). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper portion of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage 49 again. It has become. Further, in a state in which the game board 30 is attached to the inner frame 12, the outer rail 52 is located at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 2: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). Is located on the return rubber 54 provided on the inner frame 12 (a member indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2). Therefore, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced back. Since the outer rail 52 is made of a long metal strip made of stainless steel, the flight of the game ball can be made smoother, that is, the frictional resistance of the game ball can be reduced. As shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, a wall portion 55 (shown by a broken line in FIG. 2) formed on the inner frame 12 is located from the front end of the outer rail 52 to the right front end of the inner rail 51. Thus, the game area 30a is partitioned.

  The lower right corner of the game board 30 is a space for sticking a seal (S1 in FIG. 2) such as a certificate (for example, a serial number is written) or a plate.

  The RAM 503 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 313 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off and data can be retained (backed up). The RAM 503 temporarily stores various data and the like. Has memory and area.

  That is, when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 executes the normal processing up to the end, so that the RAM 503 is when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs, and so on). It is only necessary to store and hold the contents of the counter buffer and the holding ball storage area, and the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned on again. Specifically, the RAM 503 has a dedicated backup area for storing values of registers, I / O, and the like for game information during normal processing when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs). There is no need to provide it. The N501 terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 is configured to receive a power failure signal S1 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 542, which will be described later, when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Due to the occurrence, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 incorporating the ROM 502 and RAM 503 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 includes a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a sub control device 262, a first symbol display device 40, a second symbol display device 41, and other switches not shown. Etc. are connected. The main controller 261 also has a function of controlling the first symbol variation display on the first symbol display device 40 and the second symbol variation display on the second symbol display device 41.

  The RAM 513 of the payout control device 311 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 313 and data can be retained (backup) even after the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, like the RAM 503 of the main control device 261 described above. The RAM 513 includes a memory and an area for temporarily storing various data.

  The RAM 513 stores and holds information related to the state when the power is turned off in order to return the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like. In other words, the storage of the RAM 513 is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process and the second half of the payout control process, and the storage information stored in the RAM 513 is restored in the power recovery process when the power is turned on. .

  The RAM 513 stores and holds information related to the state when the power is turned off in order to return the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like. In other words, the storage of the RAM 513 is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process and the second half of the payout control process, and the storage information stored in the RAM 513 is restored in the power recovery process when the power is turned on. .

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 incorporating the ROM 512 and the RAM 513 through a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. Main controller 261, launch controller 312 and payout motor 358a are connected to input / output port 515, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment includes an inner frame 12 having a second control board unit 202 and a back pack unit 203, and a game board 30 that can be removed and replaced with respect to the inner frame 12. It has.

  The pachinko machine 10 includes a first connection cable 60 that electrically connects the second control board unit 202 of the inner frame 12 and the game board 30 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 9.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the first connection cable 60 on the left side in the rear view of the pachinko machine 10 connects the main control device 261 and the power supply device 313, and the right side in the rear view of the pachinko machine 10. The first connection cable 60 connects the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311. The first connection cable 60 is connected to the game board side connector 60a connected to the main control device 261 of the game board 30 and the second control board unit 202 (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313) of the inner frame 12. A second control board unit side connector 60b, and a cable portion 60c for connecting the game board side connector 60a and the second control board unit side connector 60b are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the second control board unit 202 includes a payout control device 311 and a power supply device 313, and the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 are electrically connected by a second connection cable 62. Has been. As shown in FIG. 9, the back pack unit 203 includes a power switch board 382, and the power switch board 382, the payout control device 311, the payout control device 311, and the power supply device 313 of the second control board unit 202 are the third. The connection cable 63 is electrically connected.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the pachinko machine 10 includes a removal guiding portion 59 that guides the removal of the game board side connector 60 a with the first connection cable 60 when the game board 30 is replaced.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the removal guide portion 59 includes a binding band 64 that binds the first connection cable 60 and the second connection cable 62, and the first connection cable 60 and the third connection cable. This is a binding band 64 that binds 63.

  The man-hours for removing the second control board unit-side connector 60b are larger than the man-hours for removing the game board-side connector 60a of the first connection cable 60.

  Specifically, the first connection cable 60 on the left side of the pachinko machine 10 when viewed from the rear side is disconnected from the game board 30 with respect to the first connection cable 60 on the left side by removing only the game board side connector 60a (one man-hour). However, if the second control board unit side connector 60b of the first connection cable 60 is removed, the left first connection cable is not removed from the connectors at both ends of the second connection cable 62 (total of 3 man-hours). 60 cannot be separated from the game board 30.

  Further, the first connection cable 60 on the right side of the pachinko machine 10 can be cut off from the game board 30 with respect to the right first connection cable 60 by simply removing the game board side connector 60a (1 man-hour). If the second control board unit side connector 60b of the first connection cable 60 is to be removed, if the three connectors of the third connection cable 63 are also not to be removed (total of 4 man-hours), the game with respect to the first connection cable 60 on the right side The board 30 cannot be cut off.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the binding band 64 is closer to the third connection cable 63 than the length K1 from the first connection cable 60 to the game board side. The first connection cable 60 and the third connection cable 63 are arranged such that the length K2 to the end of the third connection cable 63 (connector to the power switch board 382 or connector to the power supply device 313) is longer. Are united. Therefore, when the game board 30 is exchanged, the connection destination of the second connection cable 62 and the third connection cable 63 is far away, and the game board side location of the first connection cable 60 is near, so the exchange operator can It is possible to reduce the removal of the second control board unit side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) of the first connection cable 60 by selecting to remove the game board side with the one connection cable 60 and removing it. It can be reduced that the first connection cable 60 is connected to the game board 30 and is carried out or discarded.

  Since the first connection cable 60 is for connecting the main control device 261 on the game board 30 side, which is the replacement target product, and the power supply device 313 of the second control board unit 202, which is the main body side component, the color thereof is, for example, red It is said. The second connection cable 62 and the third connection cable 63 have a different color (for example, white) from the first connection cable 60. The binding band 64 is black, for example, and the other binding bands are white. By color-coding in this way, it is easy to notice differences in connection cables and binding bands, and by using such colors in the instruction manual of the pachinko machine, it is possible to explain the work without misunderstanding.

  Here, for example, a procedure for exchanging with a new game board for model change will be described.

  The replacement operator inserts a key (not shown) into the key hole 25a of the locking device 25 shown in FIG. 1 and turns the key to the right, so that the front frame set 14 and the inner frame 12 are integrally attached to the outer frame 11. Released.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the replacement worker removes the game board side connector 60 a of the left and right first connection cables 60. This is because, as described above, the first connection cable 60 and the second connection cable 62 are bound by the binding band 64, or the first connection cable 60 and the third connection cable 63 are bound by the binding band 64. This is because it takes less man-hours to remove the game board side connector 60a of the first connection cable 60 than to remove the second control board unit side connector 60b.

  Thus, by removing the game board side connector 60 a of the first connection cable 60 on the left side and the right side, the game board 30 is brought into an edged state with respect to the second control board unit 202 and the back pack unit 203.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the back pack unit 203 is opened by operating the stop lever 56 provided at the upper left corner portion in the rear view of the inner frame 12 to open. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, by pulling the stopper 57 (nai latch), the stopper 57 is released from the lower left corner portion when viewed from the rear side of the inner frame 12, and the second control board unit 202 is released. Is opened.

  As shown in FIG. 10, since the second control board unit 202 and the back pack unit 203 are pivotally supported by the inner frame 12 with the right side as an opening / closing axis, the second control board unit 202 and the back pack unit 203 are opened. The game board 30 can be removed, but the second control board unit 202 and the back pack unit 203 may be lifted upward and removed from the inner frame 12 if necessary.

  As shown in FIG. 11, by operating the stop levers 56 provided at a plurality of locations (upper left corner, left middle, right upper and lower right) in the rear view of the inner frame 12, FIG. As shown, the game board 30 is removed from the inner frame 12 to the back side of the inner frame 12. As shown in FIG. 12, the first connection cable 60 is not connected to the main control device 261 of the removed gaming board 30, and as shown in FIG. 10, the second control board unit 202 and the back pack unit 203 are connected. Since the first connection cable 60 is connected to the inner frame 12, the first connection cable 60 is appropriately connected to the new game board after the new game board is attached to the inner frame 12 or the like.

  The payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 described above correspond to electrical components described later, the inner frame 12 described above corresponds to a main body side component, the game board 30 described above corresponds to a replacement target product, and The outer guiding portion 59 corresponds to the removal guiding means, the above-described binding band 64 corresponds to the binding means, the above-described game board side connector 60a corresponds to the replacement object side connector, and the above-described second control board unit side. The connector 60b corresponds to the main body side component side connector, and the cable portion 60c described above corresponds to the wiring portion.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the inner frame 12 including the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 and the game board 30 that can be removed from and replaced with the inner frame 12 are provided. ing. The first connection cable 60 electrically connects the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 of the inner frame 12 and the main control device 261 of the game board 30. The removal guiding portion 59 guides the removal of the game board side with the first connection cable 60 when the game board 30 is replaced.

  Therefore, when replacing the game board 30, the replacement operator removes the game board side of the first connection cable 60 by the removal guide by the removal guide part 59, so that the second control board unit of the first connection cable 60 is mistaken. The side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) can be reduced, and it can be reduced that the first connection cable 60 is connected to the removed game board 30 and is removed or discarded. The connection cable 60 can be reused. As a result, it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 10 (game machine) that can improve the work efficiency of replacing the game board 30 and reduce the replacement cost of the game board 30.

  The inner frame 12 includes a payout control device 311 and a power supply device 313, and a second connection cable 62 that is electrically connected to the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313, different from the first connection cable 60, A third connection cable 63 is provided. The binding band 64 as the removal guide part 59 binds the first connection cable 60 and the second connection cable 62 and binds the first connection cable 60 and the third connection cable 63. Therefore, when replacing the game board 30, the man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60 of the game board 30 are more than the man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60, the second connection cable 62, and the third connection cable 63 of the inner frame 12. There are few. That is, the game board 30 can be brought into a non-connected state only by removing the game board side of the first connection cable 60, whereas when the second control board unit side of the first connection cable 60 is removed, the second connection is further made. Both ends of the cable 62 and the third connection cable 63 must also be removed. Therefore, the replacement operator chooses to remove the game board side of the first connection cable 60, and erroneously switches the second control board unit side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) of the first connection cable 60. The removal can be reduced, and it can be reduced that the first connection cable 60 is connected to the removed game board 30 and is carried out or discarded.

  Further, the removal guiding portion 59 has a larger number of man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60 on the second control board unit side than the man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60 on the game board side. Therefore, when replacing the gaming board 30, the number of man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60 of the gaming board 30 is less than the number of man-hours for removing the first connecting cable 60 of the main body side parts. By selecting to remove the game board side with the cable 60, it is possible to reduce accidentally removing the second control board unit side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) of the first connection cable 60, and the removed game It can reduce carrying out, discarding, etc. in the state in which the first connection cable 60 is connected to the panel 30.

  In addition, the binding band 64 is longer than the length K1 from the binding location of the first connection cable 60 to the game board side of the first connection cable 60 from the binding location of the second connection cable 62 and the third connection cable 63. The first connection cable 60, the second connection cable 62, and the third connection cable 63 are bundled so that the length K2 to the ends of the second connection cable 62 and the third connection cable 63 is longer. Therefore, when the game board 30 is exchanged, the connection destination of the second connection cable 62 and the third connection cable 63 is far away, and the game board side location of the first connection cable 60 is near, so the exchange operator can It is possible to reduce the removal of the second control board unit side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) of the first connection cable 60 by selecting to remove the game board side with the one connection cable 60 and removing it. It can be reduced that the first connection cable 60 is connected to the game board 30 and is carried out or discarded.

The attachment 65 attaches the location on the second control board unit side of the cable portion 60c to the inner frame 12. Therefore, when replacing the game board 30, the man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60 of the game board 30 are more than the man-hours for removing the first connection cable 60, the second connection cable 62, and the third connection cable 63 of the inner frame 12. There are few. In other words, the game board 30 can be brought into a non-connected state only by removing the game board side of the first connection cable 60, whereas when the second control board unit side of the first connection cable 60 is removed, the fixture 65 is further removed. Must also be removed. Therefore, the replacement operator chooses to remove the game board side of the first connection cable 60, and erroneously switches the second control board unit side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) of the first connection cable 60. The removal can be reduced, and it can be reduced that the first connection cable 60 is connected to the removed game board 30 and is carried out or discarded.

  Note that the game board side connector 60a of the first connection cable 60 can be removed by hand, and if the above-described fixture 65 cannot be released without using a tool, it is attached using a tool. Since it is easier to manually remove the game board side connector 60a than to release the tool 65, the replacement operator selects to remove the game board side of the first connection cable 60 and mistakenly The removal of the second control board unit side (the payout control device 311 and the power supply device 313 side) of the first connection cable 60 can be reduced.
