In response to the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or the external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively activated to enable access from the CPU 41a.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the first sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the first sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the first sub control unit 91 to the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal. The command may be transmitted to the first sub-control unit 91 via the command, that is, the command may be transmitted as a serial signal.

  Further, the main control unit 41 inputs detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In this embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment).

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order. An interrupt to be executed is set. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process is completed, a new interrupt will occur at that point. It will be.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as a basic process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the first effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The first effect control board 90 includes a first sub-CPU 91a, a ROM 91b, a RAM 91c, and a microcomputer having an I / O port 91d. Detecting a detection signal input from a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the first sub CPU 91a when the initialization command from the first sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, and an effect switch 56 connected to the first effect control board 90 A switch detection circuit 96 that outputs time information including time information including date information and time information, a power supply voltage supplied to the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a voltage drop signal indicating that Is mounted on the first sub CPU 91a, and other circuits are mounted. CPU91a receives the command transmitted from the gaming control board 40 performs various controls for performing an effect.

  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the first sub-control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the main control unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The first sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the first sub-control unit 91 has an interrupt function. When receiving a command from the main control unit 41, the first sub control unit 91 generates an interrupt, and sends a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Acquires and stores the command reception interrupt processing stored in the buffer. The first sub control unit 91 generates an interrupt every time the number of system clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 2 ms), and executes a timer interruption process (sub) described later. To do.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the first sub control unit 91, when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of a command, performs the process even if the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed. The command reception interrupt process is executed by interrupting the command reception interrupt process, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

  The first sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the present embodiment, the first sub control unit 91 transmits various output control commands indicating the output pattern of the effect device to the second sub control unit 191 via a parallel output port (not shown). The output control command transmitted from the first sub control unit 91 to the second sub control unit 191 is sent in only one direction, and the output control command is sent from the second sub control unit 191 toward the first sub control unit 91. There is nothing. In the present embodiment, the output control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 191 via the parallel output port, that is, the output control command is transmitted as a parallel signal. A configuration in which an output control command is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 191 via a not-shown configuration, that is, a configuration in which the output control command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  In this embodiment, the output control command transmitted from the first sub-control unit 91 to the second sub-control unit 191 is sent in only one direction, but the second sub-control unit 191 transmits the first sub-control. A configuration in which a command indicating the control state of the second sub-control unit 191 is transmitted to the unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the first sub-control unit 91 and the second sub-control unit 191 are capable of bidirectional communication may be employed. In this case, for example, the output status of each effect device may be monitored, and when an abnormality or the like occurs in the effect device, the abnormality or the like of the effect device may be notified to the first sub-control unit 91. Also, an input device such as a liquid crystal display device with a touch sensor or an effect switch is connected, and the second sub-control unit 191 transmits a command that can specify input information from the input device to the first sub-control unit 91. Also good.

  The second effect control board 190 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 1), effect effect LEDs 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on the control by the second sub-control unit 191 mounted on the second effect control board 190.

  In the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device. However, the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  The second effect control board 190 is composed of a microcomputer provided with a second sub CPU 191a, ROM 191b, RAM 191c, and I / O port 191d, and a second sub control unit 191 that controls output of the effect device, a second effect. Display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the control board 190, LED drive circuit 93 that performs drive control of the rendering effect LED 52 and reel LED 55, and sound output that performs sound output control from the speakers 53 and 54 A circuit 94, a reset circuit 195 that gives a reset signal to the second sub CPU 191a when power is turned on or when an initialization command from the second sub CPU 191a is not input for a certain period of time, and data used for effects to be executed by each effect device (for example, liquid crystal The image data displayed on the display 51 is output from the speakers 53 and 54. The second sub control unit 191 is based on an output control command transmitted from the first sub control unit 91. Thus, output control of various rendering devices can be performed directly or indirectly.

  Note that unlike the first sub-control unit 91, backup power is not supplied to the second sub-control unit 191 during a power failure, and data stored in the RAM 191c is not retained during a power failure.

  In the present embodiment, the production control is coordinated by the first sub control unit 91 mounted on the first production control board 90 and the second sub control unit 191 installed on the second production control board 190. Done.

  Specifically, the first sub-control unit 91 determines an effect pattern based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41, a control related to the ART described later that affects the advantage for the player, and a control pattern of the effect device. Based on the determination result, an output control command that can specify the output pattern of the effect device is transmitted to the second sub-control unit 191.

  On the other hand, the second sub-control unit 191 specifies the output pattern of the effect device from the output control pattern transmitted from the first sub-control unit 91, and performs output control of the effect device based on the specified output pattern. ing.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the first sub control unit 91 determines the content of the effect (including effects that affect the player's advantage), while the second sub control unit 191 is controlled by the first sub control unit 91. Only the output control of the effect device is performed according to the determined content, and the second sub-control unit 191 is configured not to determine the effect content independently.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in internal lottery, navigation stock lottery, and the like, which will be described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the set value display 24 is updated one by one (when the set value 6 is further operated, the set value 1 is set. Return). When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, a power interruption process (main) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the next return is performed. Run.

  Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the RAM 41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state, thereby disabling the progress of the game.

  Further, the first sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interrupt process (sub), and determines that the voltage drop signal is detected. In addition, a power interruption process (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the next return is executed.

  Then, the first sub control unit 91 sets the processing state of the first sub control unit 91 before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the data of the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  Further, the first sub control unit 91 receives a setting command (described later) indicating that the main control unit 41 has shifted to the setting change state even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. Even when a later-described return command and setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned even if a certain time has elapsed after startup, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a non-saved work, a general work, a special work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 41c when a RAM abnormality error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when RT2 ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, five types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 0 is initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas of the RAM 41c are initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization that is performed before the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change state. In the initialization 1, the important work in the storage area of the RAM 41c is selected. And the area other than the special work is initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of RT2. In initialization 2, a general work, an unused area, and an unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Anyway.

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a predetermined number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to 3) (3 in any gaming state in this embodiment). The game can be started on condition that a specified number of bets determined according to the number of bets is set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated winning line (in the present embodiment, all the winning lines are always activated. Will be called a winning line), and a combination of symbols called “comb” will be awarded. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  The type of winning combination in a general slot machine is determined according to the gaming state, but it can be broadly divided into a small role with medal payout and the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a re-playing role that allows the player to start and a special role that is accompanied by a transition to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role.

  In this embodiment, the special combination is not provided, and only the small combination and replay combination are subject to internal lottery and winning, but the special combination is provided and the special combination is subject to internal lottery and winning. It is good also as composition which becomes.

  In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of these winning flags for each winning combination, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the re-playing winning combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. In addition, in the case of a configuration having a special combination, the winning flag for the special combination is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having the combination of permitted combinations. . In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the above winning combination is determined before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are derived and displayed (actually, the start switch 7 Is determined). In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT type), it is determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state (RT type), the number of bets and the set value. It is performed according to the number of judgment values of each combination.

  In the internal lottery, a random number value for internal lottery (stored in the lottery work) is determined for the role that is the subject of the internal lottery, the current gaming state (current RT type), and the set value. When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared. In the present embodiment, since the special combination is not provided, only the general combination storing work among the internal winning flag storing works is used. Moreover, the structure which does not provide a special role storing work may be sufficient.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of determination values, which is the number of determination values determined to be winning, is determined for each lottery target role, and the number of determination values is sequentially added (subtracted) to the random number value for each lottery target role. In the case of overflow, the winning combination corresponding to the number of determination values is determined. However, for each lottery target role, a range of random values determined to be winning is determined, and the range to which the random value belongs It is good also as a structure which determines the winning of the role to perform.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type), and further, one table creation data includes Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status of one reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type) and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created by referring to these is also unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). For this reason, the same stop control table, that is, the same control when all of the gaming state (RT type), the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are the same. The reel stop control is performed based on the pattern.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that is not performed is stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In this embodiment, the special role is not provided. However, in the configuration having the special role, the special role and the small character are selected when the special role is won in a state where the special role is carried over from before the previous game. If a winning combination is won at the same time, the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning winning combination is drawn to the winning line within a range of 4 frames, and the winning winning combination is a maximum of 4 on the winning line. For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn within the range of frames, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the selected special role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and reel stop control is performed. Should be done. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, Control is performed to align and stop this, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

  In addition, in a configuration with a special role, if the special role and the re-playing role are won at the same time, such as when the re-playing role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the stop operation When the game is performed, control may be performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  Further, in this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed using the stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames at each timing when the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table Configuration that uses stop control together by searching and specifying the stop position, configuration that performs stop control by changing part of the stop control table and stop position table, and so on And it may be.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, for example, even when any winning combination is won, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any winning combination.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time point is equal to or longer than a predetermined restriction time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the predetermined restriction time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, At that time, the reels in the game are started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time, It waits until the game time that has started timing from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses. The progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not a combination corresponding to winning is arranged on the activated pay line when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped due to the stop operation. If it is determined that a combination corresponding to any of the winnings is available, the control at the time of winning is performed. For example, when the small combinations are arranged, a control for giving medals according to the arranged small combinations is performed, and when the re-playing combination is arranged, a control for giving a replay game is performed.

  Next, a command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the first sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls the first sub-control unit 91 for the number-of-insertion command, the credit command, the game start RT command, the rotation start pattern command, the internal winning command 1, the internal winning command 2, and the stop operation. Time command, number of sliding frames command, game end RT command, game end command, winning number command, payout start command, payout end command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, setting confirmation command, Multiple types of commands including door commands and operation detection commands are transmitted.

  The inserted number command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The game start RT command is a command that can specify a game state (RT type: any of RT0 to RT3) at the game start time, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts. .

  The rotation start pattern command is a command that can specify the rotation start pattern of the reel, and is a time when the game starts when the start switch 7 is operated.

  The internal winning command 1 is a command that can specify whether or not each special role has been won. When the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, the internal winning command 1 is transmitted after the rotation start pattern command is transmitted. In this embodiment, the special winning combination is not provided, and the internal winning command 1 for specifying the non-winning special special is transmitted. However, the internal winning command 1 is transmitted in the configuration having no special winning. It is good also as a structure which does not.

  The internal winning command 2 is a command that can specify whether or not each general combination has been won. When the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, the internal winning command 2 is transmitted after the internal winning command 1 is transmitted.

  Since the game start RT command, rotation start pattern command, internal winning command 1 and internal winning command 2 are all transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, by receiving these commands, It is possible to specify that the game has started by operating the start switch 7.

  The stop operation command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel. Sent every time the accompanying stop control is performed.

  The sliding frame number command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is a left reel, a middle reel, or a right reel, and the number of sliding frames to be moved from when the corresponding reel is stopped until it stops. Each time stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel is performed, it is transmitted after the stop operation command is transmitted.

  The stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is a left reel, a middle reel, or a right reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. Stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel Is transmitted after the sliding frame number command is transmitted each time.

  With the stop operation command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command, it is possible to specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and accompanying the stop operation of each reel Since it is transmitted every time stop control is performed, by receiving these commands, it is possible to specify that one of the reels has been stopped and the reel to be stopped.

  The RT command at the end of the game is a command that can specify the game state (RT type) at the end of the game, and the player presses the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to stop the third stop reel. Sent when the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are released.

  The game end command is a command that can specify that the game has ended. The player presses the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to stop the third stop reel, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, This is when 8R is released, and is transmitted after the RT command is transmitted at the end of the game.

  The winning number command is a command that can specify a combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, a type of winning, and a payout number of medals at the time of winning, so that the player stops the third stop reel. When the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is pressed and the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R is released, it is transmitted after the game end command is transmitted.

  The RT command at the end of the game, the game end command, and the winning number command are all for the player pressing the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R to stop the third stop reel, and then pressing the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R. Since it is transmitted when it is released, it is possible to specify that all operations necessary to advance one game are completed by receiving these commands.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power interruption.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state. When the stop state is controlled after completion of RT3, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted, the reset operation is performed, and the stop command is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted periodically.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) described above. .

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) thereafter. The

  The operation detection command is generated in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the first sub-control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the first effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the first sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the first sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the first sub control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received at the earliest stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55 based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. The output pattern of various rendering devices such as is specified.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, and the lighting of the reel LED 55 for each of a plurality of types of performance patterns. The control patterns of these effect devices such as the mode are registered, and when the first sub-control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the effect set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Of the control patterns registered corresponding to the pattern, the control pattern corresponding to the type of command received can be referenced, the output pattern of various rendering devices based on the control pattern can be specified, and the specified output pattern can be specified Output control commands are transmitted to the second sub-control unit 191 and the outputs of these effect devices Perform your indirectly. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  When the first sub control unit 91 receives a new command from the main control unit 41 during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the first sub control unit 91 is executing the second sub control unit 191. The effect based on the control pattern is stopped and the effect based on the control pattern corresponding to the command newly received from the main control unit 41 is executed. That is, even when the production has not been completed to the end, when a new command from the main control unit 41 is received by the first sub-control unit 91, the received new command is a command that triggers a new production. The effect that has been executed except when there is no effect is canceled and the effect based on the new command is executed.

  When the internal winning commands 1 and 2 are received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning commands 1 and 2, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b. When the first sub-control unit 91 receives the internal winning commands 1 and 2, the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning commands 1 and 2 According to the result, the selection rate registered in the effect table is referred to, one of the effect patterns is selected from the plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is used as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning commands 1 and 2 are received. As a result, different effects are performed depending on the effect pattern. May be.

  6 to 8 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

  The slot machine 1 in this embodiment is controlled to one of RT0 to RT3 as shown in FIG.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the small role includes a middle bell, a right-down bell, upper bells 1 to 8, a middle watermelon, a right-down watermelon, an upper watermelon, a lower cherry, a middle cherry, and a one-piece role.

  The middle bell is awarded when the combination of “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on the winning line LN in any gaming state, and eight medals are paid out when the middle bell is won in any gaming state. . The bells constituting the middle bell are arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. It can be said that it is a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of 8L, 8C, 8R.

  The right-down bell is one of “Replay-Bell-Replay”, “Replay-Bell-Plum”, “Plum-Bell-Replay”, and “Plum-Bell-Plum” on the winning line LN in any gaming state. A winning combination is made when the combination is complete, and 8 medals are paid out when the right-down bell wins in any gaming state. The replay and plum of the left reel 2L constituting the right-down bell are arranged at a position one below the bell, and the replay and plum of the right reel 2R are arranged at a position one above the bell. , "Replay-Bell-Replay", "Replay-Bell-Plum", "Plum-Bell-Replay", "Plum-Bell-Plum" Fall to the right, that is, align with the invalid line LM3. In addition, either one of the plum or replay constituting the right-down bell is arranged within 5 frames in each of the left reel 2L and the right reel 2R, and the bell constituting the right-down bell is 5 frames in the middle reel 2C. Therefore, it can be said that, as a general rule, when winning the right-down bell in the internal lottery to be described later, it is possible to win a prize regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  Next, the upper bells 1 to 8 will be described. The upper bell 1 is awarded when the combination of “Replay-White BAR-White BAR” is aligned on the winning line LN in any gaming state.

In the left reel 2L, the bells constituting the lower replay are arranged within 5 frames, the white BAR and the black BAR are arranged within 5 frames in the middle reel, and the lower replay is constituted in the right reel 2R. Since one of white BAR, cherry, watermelon, black 7, net 7 and white 7 to be played is arranged within 5 frames, as a rule, when the lower stage replay is won in the internal lottery described later, It can be said that it is a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of 8L, 8C, 8R.

  The fall replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN at RT0, and a replay game (replay) is given. The bell of the left reel 2L constituting the fall replay is arranged at a position one above the replay or plum, and the bell of the right reel 2R constituting the fall replay is arranged at a position one lower than the replay. Therefore, when the combination of “bell-replay-bell” is prepared, the combination of “replay-replay-replay”, “replay-replay-plum”, “plum-replay-replay”, “plum-replay-plum” is on the right. That is, it is aligned with the invalid line LM4. Further, the bell constituting the fall replay in the left reel 2L is arranged within 5 frames, the replay is arranged within 5 frames in the middle reel, and the bell constituting the fall replay in the right reel 2R is Since it is arranged within 5 frames, it can be said that, in principle, when winning a fall replay in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state is shifted to RT1 by winning the fall replay.

  The promotion replay 1 is awarded when a combination of “replay-replay-bell” and “plum-replay-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN at RT1, and a replay game (replay) is given. One of the replays and plums constituting the promoted replay 1 in the left reel 2L is arranged within 5 frames, the replay is arranged in 5 frames in the middle reel 2C, and the promoted replay 1 in the right reel 2R. As a general rule, the promotion replay 1 can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R. It can be said.

  Promotion Replay 2 is one of “Bell-White BAR-Replay”, “Bell-White BAR-Plum”, “Bell-Black BAR-Replay” and “Bell-Black BAR-Plum” on the winning line LN at RT1. When the combination is complete, a prize is awarded and a replay game (replay) is awarded. The bell of the left reel 2L that constitutes the promotion replay 2 is placed one position above the replay or plum, and the white BAR and black BAR of the middle reel 2C that constitute the promotion replay 2 are one above the replay. Since the replay and plum of the right reel 2R constituting the promoted replay 2 are arranged one position above the bell, the “bell-white BAR-replay” and “bell-white BAR” -Plum "," Bell-Black BAR-Replay "," Bell-Black BAR-Plum "combination, the combination of" Replay-Replay-Bell "," Plum-Replay-Bell " It will be aligned with LM2. Further, the bell constituting the promotion replay 2 in the left reel 2L is arranged within 5 frames, and the white BAR and the black BAR constituting the promotion replay 2 in the middle reel are arranged within 5 frames, and the right Since the replays and plums constituting the promotion replay 2 in the reel 2R are arranged within 5 frames, when the promotion replay 2 is won in the internal lottery described later, in principle, the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R It can be said that it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state is shifted to RT0 by winning the promotion replay 1 and promotion replay 2. As will be described later, the promotion replay is set not to win in the internal lottery in RT2 and RT3. For this reason, RT2 and RT3 do not win a promotion replay. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT2 and RT3 to RT0, and the promoted replay is awarded only when it is RT1, and is configured to be controlled to RT0 only from that RT1.

  The special replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-replay” and “bell-replay-plum” is arranged on the winning line LN at RT0, and a replay game (replay) is given. The bell that constitutes the special replay in the left reel 2L is arranged within 5 frames, the replay that constitutes the special replay in the middle reel 2C is arranged within 5 frames, and constitutes the special replay in the right reel 2R Since one of the replays and plums to be played is arranged within 5 frames, as a rule, special replays can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R if they are selected. It can be said that the role can be done. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the gaming state is shifted to RT2 by winning the special replay. As will be described later, the special replay is set not to win in the internal lottery in RT1, RT2, and RT3. For this reason, no special replay is won in RT1, RT2, RT3. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT1 and RT3 to RT2, and special replay is awarded only when RT0, and is configured to be controlled by RT2 only from RT0.

  Special replays include "Replay-White BAR-Black 7", "Replay-White BAR-Net 7", "Replay-White BAR-White 7", "Replay-White BAR-Plum", "Replay-" "Black BAR-Black 7", "Replay-Black BAR-Net 7", "Replay-Black BAR-White 7", "Replay-Black BAR-Plum", "Plum-White BAR-Black 7", "Plum-White" "BAR-net 7", "Plum-White BAR-White 7", "Plum-White BAR-Plum", "Plum-Black BAR-Black 7", "Plum-Black BAR-Net 7", "Plum-Black BAR" -When a combination of "White 7" or "Plum-Black BAR-Plum" is completed, a prize is awarded and a replay game (replay game) is given. The replay and plum of the left reel 2L constituting the special replay are arranged at a position one above the white BAR and black BAR, and the black 7, net 7, white 7 and plum of the right reel 2R constituting the special replay. Is arranged at a position below one of the white BAR and the black BAR, so that “white BAR—white BAR—white BAR”, “white BAR—white BAR—black BAR”, “white BAR—black BAR—black BAR” ”,“ Black BAR—White BAR—White BAR ”,“ Black BAR—White BAR—Black BAR ”, and“ Black BAR—Black BAR—Black BAR ”are aligned to the right. In the following, these combinations are referred to as “BAR-BAR-BAR” combinations or BAR alignments unless it is necessary to distinguish between them. Also, the replay and plums constituting the special replay in the left reel 2L are arranged within 5 frames, and the white BAR and black BAR constituting the special replay in the middle reel are arranged within 5 frames, and the right Since the black 7, net 7, white 7, and plums constituting the special replay in the reel 2R are arranged within 5 frames, in principle, when the special replay is won in the internal lottery described later, the stop switch 8L , 8C, 8R can be said to be a winning combination regardless of the operation timing.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the transition items are “replay-white BAR-bell”, “replay-black BAR-bell”, “plum-white BAR-bell”, “plum-black BAR-bell”, “replay”. -Bell-White BAR, Replay-Bell-Black BAR, Plum-Bell-White BAR, Plum-Bell-Black BAR, Black 7-White BAR-White BAR, Black 7-White "BAR-black BAR", "black 7-black BAR-white BAR", "black 7-black BAR-black BAR", "white 7-white BAR-white BAR", "white 7-white BAR-black BAR", "White 7-Black BAR-White BAR", "White 7-Black BAR-Black BAR", "Watermelon-White BAR-White BAR", "Watermelon-White BAR-Black BAR", "Watermelon-Black BAR-White BAR" ”,“ Watermelon-Black BAR-Black BAR ”. In this embodiment, left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 which will be described later are elected, and the upper bells which are elected as the first stop other than the reels which are the winning conditions for the middle bell When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. As shown in FIG. 9, after the transition outcomes are aligned on the winning line LN in RT0, RT2, and RT3, control is performed to RT1. Note that RT1 is maintained when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN at RT1.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read out as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2, or RT3, the winning combination and the winning probability thereof are different. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, “+” is written between winning winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read out in the internal lottery.

  In FIG.11 and FIG.12, a lottery object combination is shown in a vertical column, and a game state is shown in a horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out, that is, it is not a lottery target.

  Also, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 6). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “360” is set as the number of determination values is 360/65536.

  Moreover, FIG.11 and FIG.12 has shown the combination of the combination read as a lottery object combination for every gaming state.

  When it is RT0, the bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one piece, normal replay, replay GR11, replay GR12, replay GR13, replay GR21, replay GR22, replay GR23 are eligible for internal lottery It becomes.

  When it is RT1, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle tier cherry, 1 part, normal replay, replay GR1, replay GR2, replay GR3, replay GR4, replay GR5, replay GR6 are eligible for internal lottery It becomes.

  When it is RT2, the bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece combination, normal replay, and special replay are subject to internal lottery.

  When it is RT3, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece combination, normal replay will be the subject of internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the weak cherry is the lower cherry alone, the strong cherry is the lower cherry + 1 combination, and the middle cherry is the lower cherry alone. During the weak cherry win, the strong cherry win is controlled so that the “black BAR” can be stopped at the bottom of the left reel when the left reel is stopped at a timing that is within the “black BAR” pull-in range. However, when a weak cherry is won, the “bell” is controlled to stop at the middle stage of the middle reel, whereas the strong cherry is “black BAR” or “white BAR” at the middle stage of the middle reel. Is controlled to stop.

  Therefore, when the stop operation is performed with the left reel as the first stop, when the cherry stops at the lower stage of the left reel 2L, the “bell” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, or “black BAR” or “ Depending on whether the “white BAR” stops, it can be recognized whether it is a weak cherry or a strong cherry.

  In the following, a stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “black BAR” or “white BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel is referred to as strong cherry eyes, and “cherry” appears at the lower stage of the left reel. Is stopped, and the stop mode in which the “bell” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel is called weak cherry eyes.

  A weak watermelon is a middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon + upper-stage watermelon, and a strong cherry is a middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon + upper-stage watermelon + 1 sheet. When winning a weak watermelon, it is possible to win a middle watermelon, a right-down watermelon, and an upper watermelon, but when a weak watermelon is won, at the timing of the pull-in range of both the right-down watermelon and the upper watermelon. When the stop operation of each reel is performed, control to stop the combination of right-down watermelon is performed, but when strong watermelon is won, each reel has a timing that is the drawing range of both right-down watermelon and upper watermelon. When the stop operation is performed, the control for stopping the combination of the upper watermelon is performed.

  For this reason, when each reel stop operation is performed at the timing that is in the pull-in range of both the right-down watermelon and the upper-stage watermelon, it is a weak watermelon depending on whether the right-down watermelon wins or the upper watermelon wins Or whether it is a strong watermelon.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. Left bell 1 is right falling bell 5 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8, left bell 2 is right falling bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7, and left bell 3 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3, left bell 4 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 7 and the middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells. The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 6 and the right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells. The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as push order bells.

  The promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2. Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay. The replay GR11 is a fall replay + normal replay, the replay GR12 is a fall replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR13 is a fall replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1. The replay GR21 is special replay + normal replay, the replay GR22 is special replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR23 is special replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1.

  Thus, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, the regamer that is subject to the internal lottery differs, and depending on whether it is RT0-3, the target regamer and its An internal lottery is performed using lottery tables with different winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 14, a re-game player determined according to the types of re-game players won at the same time and the stop operation order is won. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop. If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the promoted replay 1, the promoted replay 2, and the normal replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Accordingly, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R. In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2. For this reason, if one of the replays GR1 to 6 is won in RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, the promotion replay will be won with a probability of 1/6, and the transition to RT0 Become.

  When replay GR11 (falling replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of left middle right or left and right, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, Control to stop the replay combination in line with the winning line LN, and stop the stop replay combination in line with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left middle right and left and right middle. Do. If Replay GR12 (Tumble Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left, that is, if the middle reel is set to the first stop, Control to stop the regular replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and stop when the stop replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right and middle right left I do. If replay GR13 (falling replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of right / left / middle / right / left / left, that is, if the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay won If the combination of regular replays in the combination is stopped in line with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right middle left, then the falling replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the fall replay and the normal replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L, 8C, and 8R, the reel control is performed so that the fall replay or the normal replay always wins. In this way, different operation modes are set as operation modes for avoiding the fall replay between the replays GR11 to GR13. For this reason, if one of the replays GR11 to 13 is elected at RT0 where the replays GR11 to 13 are the targets of the internal lottery, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/3, and the transition to RT1 can be avoided. Then, the fall replay wins with a probability of 2/3 and shifts to RT1.

  When replay GR21 (special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right or left and right, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, the special replaying player selected Control to stop the replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and control to stop the normal replay combination aligned with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left center right and left and right center. Do. If Replay GR22 (Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, The special replay combination is controlled to stop in line with the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right and middle right and left, the normal replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. Take control. When replay GR23 (special replay + normal replay + promoted replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right / left middle or right / middle / left, that is, when the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay selected The special replay combination of the combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the order other than the middle left and right, the normal replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay and the normal replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L, 8C, 8R, reel control is performed so that special replay or normal replay always wins. Thus, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning special replays with the replays GR21 to GR23. For this reason, if any one of the replays GR21 to 23 is elected at RT0 in which the replays GR21 to 23 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/3 and shifts to RT2.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 15, a maximum of four small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the left bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing left. Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the right down bell is always controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the middle bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, the appropriate timing that will be the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN. When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Because there are places, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, at an appropriate timing that is the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned. For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type of operation is not known, a specific operation mode cannot be intentionally selected. Can win a medal by surely winning a right-down bell or middle bell at a ratio of 1/11, but can only win an upper bell at 1/4 at a ratio of 10/11. It is not possible to win medals reliably. In addition, if the reels other than the left reel are set to the first stop when the push order bell is selected, a medal can be surely won by winning the right falling bell or middle bell at a ratio of 5/11. The upper bell can be won only at 1/4 at a ratio of 6/11, and medals can be obtained reliably. In particular, in RT0, 2, and 3, the transition to RT1 is performed when the transition point stops. Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the gaming state is controlled to one of RT0 to RT3.

  RT0 shifts to when the promotion replay wins in RT1 (when any of the replays GR1 to GR6 wins in RT1 and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins). Then, RT0 is terminated regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT0, by transitioning to RT1 by winning a fall replay or stopping the transition, or by transitioning to RT2 by winning a special replay. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT0 is about 1 / 2.08, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, only normal replays, replays GR11 to 13 and replays GR21 to 23 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replays, falling replays, and special replays can be won.

  RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT0. And RT1 is complete | finished when promotion replay wins and transfers to RT0. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT1 is about 1 / 7.31, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR6 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replays and promoted replays can win.

  RT2 shifts when a special replay wins at RT0. Then, RT2 ends when the transition point stops and shifts to RT1. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT2 is about 1 / 1.37, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, only normal replays and special replays are subject to internal lottery, and normal replays and special replays can win.

  RT3 shifts after the setting is changed. Then, RT3 ends when the transition is stopped and the transition is made to RT1, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT3. The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT3 is about 1 / 7.31, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only the normal replays are subject to internal lottery, and only the normal replays can win.

  RT0 and RT0 out of RT0-3 are more advantageous to the player than RT1 and 3 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is high and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and 3 It can be said that it is a state. Further, RT2 can be said to be more advantageous than RT0 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT0 and the medal payout rate per game is higher than RT0.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the first sub-control unit 91 provides an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the process shifts to RT3 after the setting is changed.

  In RT3, when the transition point stops, the process proceeds to RT1. In RT3, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop, Transition to RT1 when any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, or right bell 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won in RT4 that has been changed after the setting change. It becomes.

  At RT1, the game proceeds to RT0 when the promotion replay wins. Since the replays GR1 to 6 are elected at RT1 and the replay order is correct and the promoted replay is won, at RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are elected and the answer is RT0 by correctly answering in the order of stoppage. Become.

  At RT0, the fall replay wins or the transition is stopped, the process shifts to RT1, and the special replay wins, the process shifts to RT2. If the replays GR11 to 13 are won at RT0 and the stop order is incorrect, the fall replay wins. In addition, when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected and the stop order is correct, the special replay is won. In addition, when one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won at RT 0 and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, at RT0, replays GR11-13 are won and the stop order is incorrect, or any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won, If it is not possible to win a prize, the process proceeds to RT1, and the replays GR21 to 23 are elected and the stop order is correct, so the process proceeds to RT2.

  In RT2, the transition is stopped and the transition to RT1 is made. In RT2, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT2, if any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  When the first sub-control unit 91 is controlled by an AT (ART), which will be described later, the first sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning a navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 6 when RT1, and replay GR11 to 13 and replay GR21 to 23 when RT0. In both RT0, RT1, and 2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment is performed by displaying a navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and outputting navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when the replay GR1 or the left bell is won as the navigation image, “123” (indicating that the reel 2L is the first stop, the reel 2C is the second stop, and the reel 2R is the third stop) or “132” A pressing order image indicating the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, such as the reel 2L is the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop, and the motif of the slot machine 1 And a character image tailored to. Also, as the navigation voice, for example, “left middle right!” (Reel 2L indicates the first stop, reel 2C indicates the second stop, reel 2R indicates the third stop) and “left and right middle!” (Reel 2L). Indicates the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop). The navigation voice is output only from the stop switch that the player should press first or next. Therefore, if all the reels are rotating, for example, “Left!” Is output first. When the reel 2L is stopped, “Middle!” Is output next. When the reels 2L and 2C are stopped, "Right!" Is output. As for other target combinations, a navigation image corresponding to the selected target combination is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 and a navigation sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, the stop order (see FIG. 14) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, a stop order (see FIG. 14) for avoiding the fall replay is notified according to the winning situation. As a navigation effect when the replays GR21 to 23 are won, a stop order (see FIG. 14) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified. Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a stop order (see FIG. 15) for surely winning the right-down bell or the middle bell is notified.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination. Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, and the bell winning that are intentionally won, the falling replay winning, and the stop of the transitional outcome.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, the first sub-control unit 91 has a lottery target role (in this embodiment, a single bell (bell single winning), a weak watermelon, a strong watermelon, a weak cherry, a strong cherry, a middle cherry, and a single cherry) When winning, a navigation stock lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control to ART (state controlled by AT in RT2). In the navigation stock lottery at the time of winning the target role, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to give the number of navigation stocks and the number of navigation stocks are determined.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by ART over a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, the number of games including the initial number of games and the number of games won in the extra lottery described later). . By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the ART is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and a navigation effect is executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  In addition, when the number of navigation stocks remains and when the number of navigation stocks is newly acquired, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks. In particular, in this embodiment, the navigation stock lottery is performed even in an additional state described later, and one or more navigation stocks are won, so that the number of navigation stocks won is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks. .

  Next, the flow of ART control performed by the first sub-control unit 91 will be described.

  The first sub-control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c when one or more navigation stocks are determined in the navigation stock lottery. Then, based on the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the RAM 91c, it is specified whether or not to control to ART. When one or more navigation stocks remain, the control is performed by the AT after the ART winning notification is notified through the ART confirmation notification. This period controlled by the AT is called a preparation state.

  When the first sub-control unit 91 starts the control of the preparation state, the first sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect when the target combination is won. First, after shifting to the preparation state, it is controlled by RT1, and during this time, the stop order in which the promotion replay is awarded when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won is notified by the navigation effect. As a result, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified stop order, the promoted replay wins and it is possible to shift from RT1 to RT0. If the promotion replay is not won as a result of performing the stop operation in a stop order different from the notified stop order, the control of the preparation state is also ended at that time.

  In addition, after starting the control in the ready state, the stop order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won in any gaming state of RT0 to 2, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. Thus, it is possible to reliably acquire medals.

  After the promoted replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, when the replays GR11 to 13 are elected, the stop order for avoiding the fall replay winning is notified by the navigation effect. By performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 13, it is possible to avoid the winning of the falling replay and to avoid the transition from RT0 to RT1. In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, when the fall replay wins and shifts to RT1, the preparation state control is also ended at that time.

  In addition, after the transition to RT0, when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected, the stop order in which the special replay is won is notified by the navigation effect. By performing a stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the replays GR21 to 23, it becomes possible to win a special replay and shift from RT0 to RT2, and the special replay wins and shifts to RT2. ART will start. When the normal replay wins as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, the control of the preparation state is continued.

  When the special replay wins at RT0 and shifts to RT2, the navigation game is consumed (subtracted) by the start operation of the next game, and the predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment) is used as the remaining number of games of ART. ) Is set in the RAM 91c, and counting of the number of remaining games in the ART is started with the start of the ART control.

  After the start of ART, the number of remaining ART games is decremented by 1 at the start of each game, and for each game, whether the target role of push order bell and Navistock lottery is won, or a special replay is won , And when the push order bell is won, a navigation effect for informing the stop order of winning the bell is executed.

  It is possible to win the bell by performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the pushing order bell, and it is possible to avoid the transition to RT1. In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, when the transition point stops and the process shifts to RT1, the ART control is also terminated at that time.

  Also, during ART, if the target role (in this embodiment, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, single role, special replay) is won, is the number of ART games added? Add lottery to decide whether or not. In the extra lottery, by determining one of the number of games from a plurality of games including 0, whether or not to increase the number of ART games, and the number of games to be added are determined. When it is determined that the number of ART games is to be increased by adding lottery, the determined number of games is added to the remaining number of games in the RAM 91c.

  When the Navi Stock lottery is selected in the determination for each game after the start of ART, the Navi Stock lottery is performed. When one or more Navi stocks are won, the number of Navi stock is added (added) To do.

  In each game after the start of ART, the number of remaining games of ART is decremented by 1 every time one game starts. When the number of remaining games after subtraction becomes 0, the end of ART is completed. ART end notification is notified.

  Further, after the ART end notification, it is determined whether or not the navigation stock remains. If the navigation stock remains, the control of the ART is resumed after waiting for the start operation of the next game. On the other hand, if no navigation stock remains, the ART control is terminated. Along with this, since the navigation effect is not executed even if the push order bell is won, the possibility of the transition outcome being stopped increases, and the transition outcome is stopped, so that the transition to RT1 is made.

  Next, the game control board 40, the first effect control board 90, the structure of the board case 200 that houses the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90, and the attachment structure of the board case 200 to the housing 1a will be described with reference to FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. In the following description, as shown in FIG. 17, with reference to a case where the substrate case 200 attached to the back plate 1 c of the housing 1 a is viewed from the front of the housing 1 a, the upper, lower, left, right, The front-rear direction shall be indicated.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are arranged in parallel with each other, that is, in a state where the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 do not overlap. Housed inside. At that time, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are connected to each other through the male and female connectors 410 and 420 provided at the opposite end portions of the game control board 40 and the first production control board 90 through the connectors 410 and 420. Various commands can be transmitted from the game control board 40 to the first effect control board 90.

  In the present embodiment, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 housed in the board case 200 are connected to each other through the connectors 410 and 420, but via a cable or the like. Wire connection may be used.

The connector openings 236 are respectively formed. In addition, an engagement cylinder 237 that engages with the connector restricting member 650 is provided on the side of the connector opening 236 corresponding to the board-side connector 620b to which the start switch 7 is connected.

  Next, a sealing state between the base member 201 and the cover member 202 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 18, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are attached to the front side of the base member 201 via attachment screws 215. At this time, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are placed on the base member 201 in a state where the terminal surfaces 40b and 90b of the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are opposed to the front surface of the base member 201. The support pieces 214a-k, m are fitted and positioned inside, and the attachment screws 215 are attached through the screw holes 40c, 90c formed at the four corners of the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90, respectively. It is attached to the attachment bosses 212 and 213 of the member 201.

  At this time, the upper side of the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 is brought into contact with the board support pieces 214a to 214d of the base member 201 to perform vertical alignment, and the left side and the first side of the game control board 40 are aligned. By aligning the right side of the production control board 90 with the board support pieces 214e and m of the base member 201 in the horizontal direction, the terminal 40e of the socket 40d and the terminal 90e of the socket 90d constitute the main terminal protection unit 216. The upper outer wall portion 216a, the upper inner wall portion 216b, the left wall portion 216c, the right wall portion 216d, the lower outer wall portion 216e, the lower inner wall portion 216f, and the contact portion 216i are accommodated in the terminal accommodating portions 216g and 216h. Be able to.

  Next, the cover member 202 is opposed to the mounting surface 40a of the game control board 40 attached to the front surface side of the base member 201 and the front surface of the mounting surface 90a of the first effect control board 90, and from the short side 201c of the base member 201 The cover member 202 is brought close to the base member 201 so that the side wall 202c of the cover member 202 protrudes, and each engagement piece 220 of the cover member 202 is inserted from the open end of each engagement groove 250 of the base member 201. At this time, the outer surface of the side wall 201b of the base member 201 is covered by the side wall 202c of the cover member 202. In this state, the cover member 202 is slid in the longitudinal direction (toward the right side in FIG. 18) toward the right side.

  When each engagement piece 220 comes into contact with the end portion of each engagement groove 250 and the right end portion of the cover-side welded portion 223 comes into contact with the restriction piece 208 and the sliding movement is restricted, the left short side is The locking pieces 203, 203 of the base member 201 are inserted into the insertion holes 222, 222. Thus, each engagement piece 220 is engaged with each engagement groove 250, the right end portion of the cover-side welded portion 223 is locked to the restriction piece 208, and the locking pieces 203, 203 are inserted into the insertion holes 222, 222. The cover member 202 is assembled to the base member 201 by being inserted into the base member 201, the assembly position of the cover member 202 with respect to the base member 201 is determined, and the base member 201 and the cover member 202 are aligned to open the opening of the base member 201. Becomes a closed state (locked state) in which it is closed, and a state described later is possible (see FIG. 21).

  As described above, in order to open the cover member 202 from the closed state, the substrate case 200 according to the present embodiment first has to slide the cover member 202 along the base plate 201a of the base member 201. On the other hand, the cover member 202 cannot be locked or released from the locked state, and the locking action effectively restricts the separation of the cover member 202 from the base member 201, that is, lifting.

  Further, in the closed state, the mounting hole (see FIG. 25A) of the preliminary sealing piece 232 is disposed at a position facing the screw hole 210, and the mounting hole 227 is disposed at a position facing the screw hole 209. Moreover, the cover side welding part 223 is arrange | positioned in the opposing position of the base side welding part 207 (refer Fig.25 (a)).

  Here, for example, when the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are stored in the board case 200 and shipped to a game shop or the like by a manufacturer or the like, the cover-side welded part 223 and the base as a welded part are used. The side welding part 207 is welded (for example, ultrasonic welding or caulking using an ultrasonic welding machine or the like) (also referred to as a first sealed state). Further, the closing screw 226 is a general screw comprising a rod-like portion having a male screw portion (attachment portion) formed on the outer periphery and a head formed at one end of the rod-like portion and housed in the recess 227a. Then, after inserting the rod-shaped portion of the closing screw 226 into the mounting hole 227 from the opening of the recess 227a and screwing it into the screw hole 209, the sealing seal 400 is pasted so as to straddle the cover side sealing portion 224 and the base side sealing portion 229. Then, a sealed state (also referred to as a second sealed state or a sealed state) is formed, and a U-shaped seal protective cover 228 made of a synthetic resin material is covered with a cover member 202 so as to cover the adhered seal seal 400. And the base member 201 are sandwiched and shipped with the sealing seal 400 protected.

  As described above, the opposing surfaces of the base-side welded portion 207 and the cover-side welded portion 223 are melt-deformed and welded to be integrated with each other, so that it is extremely difficult to separate them. Since the opposing surfaces of the base-side welded part 207 and the cover-side welded part 223 are fixed in this manner, the sliding movement of the cover member 202 with respect to the base member 201 is restricted. The locked state cannot be released. That is, a sealed state is formed in which the cover member 202 cannot be opened unless the fixed state between the base side welding surface 261a and the cover side welding surface 271a is released.

  Here, for example, when the cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 207 are peeled off by forcibly sliding the cover member 202 with respect to the base member 201 in the unlocking direction, the opposing surfaces are Since it is melted and deformed, scratches and deformation marks remain on both the cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 207, that is, both the base member 201 and the cover member 202, so that the cover member 202 is opened ( It can be surely found that it may have been opened.

  When the sealed state is formed by joining the opposing surfaces of the base side welded portion 207 and the cover side welded portion 223 by welding, the base member is opened when the cover member 202 is opened after the sealed state is released. Since the joint part of 201 and the cover member 202 is destroyed and the trace remains reliably, it becomes possible to discover that a fraudulent act may be performed.

  Further, since the base-side welded portion 207 and the cover-side welded portion 223 are joined by welding, the joining surface expands in the longitudinal direction of the side edge of the substrate case 200 as compared with the case of joining by screws or the like, so In this case, the short side portion of the substrate case 200 is forcibly bent to form a gap between the base member 201 and the cover member 202, and it becomes difficult for foreign matters such as wires to enter from the gap.

  The seal seal 400 includes a substantially rectangular base sheet (not shown), and an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the base sheet (not shown) to form an adhesive layer (not shown). An IC tag 403 as an electronic tag for fraud monitoring is embedded in the adhesive layer.

  The IC tag 403 includes an IC chip and an antenna unit, and the IC chip is formed as an integrated circuit, and includes a control unit and a memory area (storage unit). The memory area is configured by a non-volatile memory (ROM) in which data cannot be rewritten, and its storage capacity is, for example, 128 bits. ID information as identification information is stored in the memory area. Specifically, a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer-specific number assigned to each manufacturer) and an ID number unique to the gaming machine are stored. Since the data area in the memory area of the IC chip is not rewritable, inconveniences such as unauthorized alteration of ID information can be suppressed.

  The ID information of the IC chip is configured so that it can be called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit, and the ID information transmitted from the antenna unit can be received and read by the reader device. It has become. Specifically, a call is made from the reader device with a radio wave of the above-described frequency, and an induction electromagnetic field is formed by this radio wave. When the antenna part is included in the induction electromagnetic field, an electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction in the antenna part. In the IC chip, using this electromotive force as a power source, ID information stored in the memory area is called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit.

  When the seal seal 400 is to be peeled off from the base side seal portion 229 and the cover side seal portion 224, the seal seal 400 is likely to be broken and the antenna portion is likely to be divided. When the antenna part is divided, especially when the divided part is a part that cannot be transmitted, which will be described later, the ID information is not output, so the ID information cannot be read by the reader device. Note that the ID information may not be output or may be difficult to output even when it is divided at a place other than the part where transmission is impossible. Therefore, if an illegal act is performed on the game control board 40 or the first effect control board 90, it can be easily detected.

  Further, since the outer surface of the seal seal 400 is covered with the seal protection cover 228, the surface of the seal seal 400 is protected by the seal protection cover 228 in the sealed state, and the seal seal 400 and the IC tag 403 cannot be directly touched. Therefore, fraudulent acts on the seal sticker 400 and the IC tag 403 can be prevented as much as possible, and damage is caused by applying some external force to the IC tag 403 when attaching or removing the substrate case 200 to or from the housing 1a. You can avoid that.

  Further, the cover member 202 has a structure that cannot be detached from the base member 201 unless the cover member 202 is slid in the unlocking direction with respect to the base member 201 from the aligned state. That is, a slide movement guide means is provided that slides and guides in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the cover member 202 is removed from the base member 201, and is locked in a state in which the slide movement guide means guides the slide movement. Since the cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 207 have a locking action when they are separated from each other toward the opposite sides, the cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 223 It becomes extremely difficult to peel off 207.

  Further, even if two substrate cases of the same type as the substrate case 200 are obtained as in the prior art, both of the base member 201 and the cover member 202 are left scratched when the cover member 202 is opened, and the base is not damaged. Since the member 201 and the cover member 202 cannot be obtained, it is extremely difficult to illegally configure the new substrate case 200.

  As described above, the cover side welding portion 223 and the base side welding portion 207 are welded (fixed) to each other, whereby the sliding movement of the cover member 202 with respect to the base member 201 is restricted. That is, in the state where the locking pieces 203, 203 formed on one short side of the base member 201 are locked to the insertion holes 222, 222 of the cover member 202, the cover side welded portion 223 on the other short side and the base When the side welded portion 207 is fixed, a sealed state in which the upper surface of the base member 201 is closed by the cover member 202 is configured. This sealed state cannot be released unless both the cover-side welded portion 223 of the cover member 202 and the welded portion of the base-side welded portion 207 of the base member 201 are cut (broken), so that the cover member 202 is opened. If this happens, the trace, that is, the trace that part of the board case 200 has been destroyed, is reliably left, so that the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 housed in the board case 200 have some sort of It becomes possible to discover that there has been a possibility of cheating.

  In this embodiment, when the base member 201 and the cover member 202 are aligned at the closed position, the cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 207 come into contact with each other. The cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 207 may be spaced apart from each other as long as they can be arranged. In this case, for example, spot welding or the like in which a boss (not shown) formed at the tip of the horn H is pushed into the upper cover side welding portion 223 while the lower base side welding portion 207 is dissolved can be applied.

  Next, the configuration of the case support device 300 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the case supporting device 300 includes a fixed base 301 attached to the upper part of the inner surface of the back plate 1 c of the housing 1 a, a locking member 303 attached to the right side of the fixed base 301, and a fixed base 301. A movable base 302 that is rotatably supported is mainly configured. The movable base 302 has a substrate case 200 attached to the front side, and is supported so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis that faces the fixed base 301 in the vertical direction.

  Then, by attaching the board case 200 to the front side of the movable base 302, the board case 200 is disposed so that the terminal surface 40b side of the game control board 40 and the terminal face 90b side of the first effect control board 90 are opposed to the back plate 1c. The first rotation restriction position A (first position) that is not visible and the second rotation restriction position B (second position) where the terminal surface 40b side of the game control board 40 is visible. It is supported by the upper part of the inner surface of the back plate 1c so as to be able to rotate between them (see FIG. 24).

  Therefore, even when the board case 200 is attached to the back plate 1c, the mounting surface 40a and the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 accommodated in the board case 200, and the mounting surface 90a and the terminal surface 90b of the first effect control board 90 are reduced. It can be seen through the transparent substrate case 200 and the movable base 302.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the movable base 302 is made of a transparent thermoplastic synthetic resin and has a substantially rectangular bottom plate 310a, and a pair of side walls erected forward on the upper and lower long sides of the bottom plate 310a. 310b and 310b are respectively extended in the longitudinal direction, short side walls 310c and 310c are continuously provided from both ends of the left short side portion in the longitudinal direction from the end portions of the side walls 310b and 310b, and a short side is provided on the right short side portion. The side wall 310d is extended in the longitudinal direction.

  An elastic locking claw 311 capable of locking a predetermined portion of the cover member 202 in the substrate case 200 attached to the front surface side of the bottom plate 310a is formed inward at the right end portion of the upper side wall 310b. 200 can be locked.

  A board-side connector 620c (see FIG. 7) of the game control board 40, a cable-side connector 610c connected to the board-side connector 620c, and a protective member 660 for protecting the cable 600c are attached to the left end of the lower side wall 310b. A mounting slit 312 is formed. The attachment slit 312 is formed by bulging a part of the side wall 310b, and can be inserted through the attachment piece 660a of the protection member 660. Further, a locking hole 312a is formed on the outer surface of the mounting slit 312 so that the outward elastic locking claw 660b formed in the mounting piece 660a is locked. It can be regulated.

  In this way, the attachment piece 660a is inserted into the attachment slit 312 and the elastic engagement claw 660b is engaged with the engagement hole 312a, so that the guard piece 660c and the guard side piece formed to be bent with respect to the attachment piece 660a. The periphery of the board-side connector 620c, the cable-side connector 610c connected to the board-side connector 620c, and the cable 600c is covered and protected by 660d.

  In the vicinity of the short side portion on the right side of the bottom plate 310a, mounting holes 316a and 316b to which the one-way screws 240a and 240b inserted into the mounting sealing piece 230 and the spare mounting sealing piece 231 of the substrate case 200 are attached are formed. A base mounting hole 317 for mounting the mounting base 315 is formed. The mounting base 315 is mounted by fitting into the base mounting hole 317 from the back side of the bottom plate 310a. At the time of mounting, as shown in FIG. 25 (a), the mounting holes 316a and 316b protrude from the front surface of the bottom plate 310a to the mounting holes of the mounting sealing piece 230 and the spare mounting sealing piece 231. It is arranged to face each other.

  As described above, the mounting base 315 is detachably attached to the movable base 302, so that, for example, the mounting sealing piece 230 and the spare mounting sealing piece 231 are cut from the substrate case 200 as described later. When the movable base 302 is left behind, only the mounting base 315 can be replaced with a new one.

  An insertion hole through which the locking pins 303a and 303a of the locking member 303 for locking the free end of the movable base 302 to the front side of the back plate 1c can be inserted in the short side portion on the right side of the movable base 302. 318 and 318 are formed, and in the vicinity of the insertion holes 318 and 318, locking hooks 319 and 319 that can be locked to the tips of the locking pins 303 a and 303 a are rotated around an axis that faces in the front-rear direction. It is mounted movably.

  From both sides in the longitudinal direction of the short side on the left side of the movable base 302, a plate-like shape in which a shaft support groove 320 having a substantially U shape for receiving a rotation shaft 333 formed on the fixed base 301 described later is formed. The shaft support plates 321 and 321 are projected outward in a direction orthogonal to the short side portion. The shaft support groove 320 extends rearward from the front end sides of the shaft support plates 321, 321 so that the rotating shaft 333 can be attached and removed from the front opening.

  A covering portion 322 that covers a base mounting screw 335 for mounting a fixed base 301 (to be described later) to the back plate 1c is formed at the central position in the longitudinal direction of the short side portion on the left side of the movable base 302. The covering portion 322 is parallel to the vertical piece 322b erected vertically from the short side of the bottom plate 310a toward the front, and the bottom plate 310a bent outward from the tip of the vertical piece 322b. The bent piece 322a is formed of side pieces 322c and 322c that cover the sides of the bent piece 322a and the vertical piece 322b, and an outer piece 322d that is inclined outward from the tip of the bent piece 322a. Further, as shown in FIG. 25B, the bent piece 322a has such a length that it can cover the upper portion of the base mounting screw 335 in the state in which the pivot groove 320 is pivotally supported on the rotation shaft 333 of the fixed base 301. Have.

  The upper and lower side pieces 322c and the shaft support plate 321 are arranged with a predetermined distance therebetween, and an insertion portion through which the plate-like piece 221 of the cover member 202 can be inserted between the side pieces 322c and the shaft support plate 321. 324 and 324 are formed. Since the insertion portions 324 and 324 are formed to have a vertical width that is slightly longer than the vertical width of the plate-like pieces 221 and 221, the substrate case 200 is attached to the front side of the movable base 302 as will be described later. In the state, the upper and lower side portions of the plate-like pieces 221 and 221 inserted through the insertion portions 324 and 324 are guided by the side piece 322c and the shaft support plate 321. Further, the vertical piece 322b contacts the side wall 202c of the cover member 202 and determines the position of the substrate case 200 in the left-right direction with respect to the movable base 302.

  At the distal end portions of the insertion portions 324 and 324, band plate-like locking plates 323 and 323 for locking the front side of the distal end portions of the plate-like pieces 221 and 221 inserted through the insertion portions 324 and 324 are pivotally supported. It is constructed between the plate 321 and the side piece 322c. That is, the upper and lower shaft support plates 321 and the side pieces 322c are connected by the locking plates 323 and 323, respectively. Further, since the locking plates 323 and 323 are disposed outside the shaft support grooves 320 and 320, they do not interfere when the rotation shafts 333 and 333 are attached to and detached from the shaft support grooves 320 and 320.

  As shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 25 (b), the fixed base 301 is forwardly attached from the upper and lower ends of the strip plate-like attachment piece 330a that is attached to the inner surface of the back plate 1c and faces the vertical direction. A main body portion made of a plate-shaped metal material composed of a pair of upper and lower shaft pieces 330b, 330b bent toward the front, and a protective piece 330c bent forward from the left side of the mounting piece 330a; From the opposing surfaces of the pieces 330b and 330b, cylindrical rotation shafts 333 and 333 that are directed inwardly and project inward so that their respective axes are located on the same line are formed. Yes.

  The pair of upper and lower rotating shafts 333 and 333 are arranged in parallel to the mounting piece 330a at a position in front of the mounting piece 330a so that the tip portions thereof are separated from each other by a predetermined distance. Further, mounting holes (not shown) for base mounting screws 335 and 335 for mounting the fixed base 301 to the back plate 1c are formed between the tips of the rotating shafts 333 and 333 in the mounting piece 330a. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the fixed base 301 configured as described above has two base mounting screws 335 and 335 attached to the mounting holes of the fixed base 301 through the cover member 336. By screwing into the location, it can be attached and fixed to the inner surface of the back plate 1c.

  As shown in FIGS. 25A and 25B, the base mounting screws 335 and 335 attached to the fixed base 301 are orthogonal to the axis P1 of which the axes P2 and P2 connect the rotation axes 333 and 333, respectively. And is disposed between the tip ends of the rotating shafts 333 and 333 provided in a pair of upper and lower sides.

  That is, the base mounting screws 335 and 335 are arranged along the axis P1 of the pair of upper and lower rotation shafts 333 and 333, so that the fixed base 301 is attached to the back plate 1c at a position closer to the rotation shafts 333 and 333. Since it is attached, the support strength of the rotation shafts 333 and 333 can be increased. On the other hand, the base mounting screw 335 and the cover member 336 are disposed between the upper and lower rotation shafts 333 and 333, so that the rotation shaft 333 is provided. 333 can be easily attached and detached without interfering with H.333.

  Further, the head of the base mounting screw 335 that is exposed to the outside when the fixed base 301 is attached to the back plate 1c is accommodated in the accommodating portion of the cover member 336, and the opening of the accommodating portion is opened by a cover cap (not shown). The base mounting screw 335 is completely covered around the head exposed to the outside in the state of being attached to the back plate 1c, and the driver is inserted between the head and the back plate 1c. It becomes difficult. The cover member 336 is attached to the base mounting screw 335 and cannot be removed unless the base mounting screw 335 is removed. Therefore, the cover member 336 need not be separately attached with a mounting screw, and the covering state can be easily released. Absent. Further, since the protective piece 330c has a longer front-rear width than the cover member 336, the outer side of the cover member 336 is reliably covered.

  Next, a method for attaching the movable base 302 to the fixed base 301 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 23, the fixed base 301 is attached to the upper left side of the inner surface of the back plate 1c with the base attaching screws 335 and 335 as described above, and the locking member 303 is placed on the right side of the fixed base 301. Install. In a state where the fixed base 301 is attached, the axis P1 of the rotation shafts 333 and 333 is directed in the vertical direction.

  The locking member 303 is not particularly shown in detail, but is attached to the back plate 1c by means of mounting screws 339 and 339, and is attached to the back plate 1c, and from the vertical position of the mounting piece 303b to the front. And locking pins 303a and 303a which are erected. And it attaches to the backplate 1c so that the latching pins 303a and 303a may be arrange | positioned corresponding to the insertion holes 318 and 318 of the movable base 302 pivotally supported by the fixed base 301 so that it may mention later.

  When the movable base 302 is attached to the fixed base 301, first, as shown in FIG. 23, the left and right end portions of the movable base 302 are oriented in the longitudinal direction so as to be orthogonal to the back plate 1c in the front-rear direction. As a result, the open portions of the shaft support grooves 320 and 320 face the rotation shafts 333 and 333, so that the movable base 302 is brought close to the fixed base 301 in this posture, and the shaft support grooves 320 and 320 are moved to the rotation shafts 333 and 333. After being inserted into 333, the front side of the movable base 302 is pushed toward the back plate 1 c around the rotation shafts 333 and 333.

  When the movable base 302 is disposed in the lateral orientation in which the rear surface faces the inner surface of the back plate 1c, that is, in the first rotation restricting position A, the locking pins 303a and 303a of the locking member 303 are moved to the movable base 302. The locking hooks 319 and 319 are rotated to the tips of the locking pins 303a and 303a that are inserted through the insertion holes 318 and 318, and the tips of the locking pins 303a and 303a protrude forward from the insertion holes 318 and 318, respectively. Lock. Accordingly, the left end portion of the movable base 302 is pivotally supported by the rotation shafts 333 and 333, and the right end portion is locked by the locking pins 303a and 303a, whereby the movable base 302 is detached from the back plate 1c. Further, the rotation around the rotation shafts 333 and 333 is restricted, and temporarily fixed (maintained) at the first rotation restriction position A facing the predetermined installation surface on the inner surface of the back plate 1c.

  As described above, when the pivot shafts 333 and 333 of the fixed base 301 are pivotally supported by the pivot support grooves 320 and 320 of the movable base 302 and the movable base 302 is disposed at the first rotation restriction position A, the pivot support groove 320 is provided. , 320 open frontward in the front-rear direction, but the back plate 1c is close to the rear surface of the movable base 302, so that the rearward movement of the shaft support grooves 320, 320 relative to the rotation shafts 333, 333 is restricted. Therefore, the shaft support grooves 320 and 320 are not detached from the rotation shafts 333 and 333.

  In other words, if the movable base 302 is pivotally supported with respect to the fixed base 301, the movable base 302 is moved from the attaching / detaching position C (for example, from the first rotation restricting position A) to the vertical orientation. By disposing at a position rotated about 63 degrees or more (see FIG. 27), there is no restriction on the movement of the movable base 302 in the detaching direction with respect to the fixed base 301. Become.

  Further, the front surface side of the base mounting screw 335 for attaching the fixed base 301 to the back plate 1c is covered with the covering portion 322 of the movable base 302, and the left outer side is covered with the protective piece 330c, so that the protective piece 330c and the outer piece 322d are covered. Only a slight gap is formed between the tip of the two. Accordingly, not only is it difficult to make a driver or a finger contact the base mounting screw 335, but the driver is arranged on an extension line of the axis P2 of the base mounting screw 335 (see FIG. 25B). You can't do that.

  Next, a method for attaching the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302 rotatably supported by the fixed base 301 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in order to attach the substrate case 200 sealed as described above to the movable base 302 temporarily fixed at the first rotation restricting position A, the back side of the base member 201 is attached. A pair of plate-like pieces 221, 221 provided on the left short side of the cover member 202, which is slid to the left in a state of being arranged so as to face the front surface of the movable base 302, is indicated by arrows in the upper diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 24, the right short side of the substrate case 200 is inserted into a gap formed between the rotation shafts 333 and 333 and the locking plates 323 and 323, and then, as shown by a thick arrow in the lower diagram of FIG. Is pushed toward the movable base 302.

  At this time, the tips of the plate-like pieces 221 and 221 are locked to the locking plates 323 and 323 (see FIG. 25B), and the upper side of the cover member 202 on the right end side is the elastic locking of the movable base 302. Locked to the claw 311. The substrate case 200 is covered with the side walls 310b, 310c, and 310d of the movable base 302, so that the sliding movement of the movable base 302 on the bottom plate 310a is restricted, so that the separation from the movable base 302 is restricted. .

  However, in this temporarily fixed state, the substrate case 200 can be easily removed from the movable base 302 by releasing the locked state of the cover member 202 by the elastic locking claw 311.

  Further, in the temporarily fixed state, the mounting sealing piece 230 and the spare mounting sealing piece 231 in the cover member 202 are arranged to face the mounting base 315, and the mounting sealing piece 230 and the spare mounting sealing piece 231 are arranged. The mounting holes 235 and 235 match the mounting holes 316 a and 316 b of the mounting base 315.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25A, when the one-way screw 240a accommodated in the attachment sealing piece 230 is screwed into the attachment hole 316a by a screwdriver, the substrate case 200 cannot be detached from the movable base 302. It is attached.

  In other words, once the one-way screw 240a is attached to the attachment hole 316a, the one-way screw 240a cannot be reversely rotated even if a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted into the operation groove, that is, cannot be removed from the attachment hole 316a again. Therefore, the substrate case 200 is attached so that it cannot be removed from the movable base 302 unless a predetermined portion (for example, the cut piece 233 of the attachment sealing piece 230) of the substrate case 200 or the movable base 302 is cut (destroyed). Installed in a state.

  Further, when removing the board case 200 from the movable base 302 for inspection of the game control board 40, it is necessary not only to cut the cutting piece 233 of the mounting sealing piece 230 but also a one-way screw screwed into the mounting hole 316a. 240a and the mounting sealing piece 230 cut from the substrate case 200 cannot be removed from the mounting base 315 and remain held by the movable base 302. Therefore, the one-way screw 240a is attached to the mounting sealing piece 230, and the same Thus, it cannot be attached to the movable base 302. That is, once the mounting state of the substrate case 200 with respect to the movable base 302 is released, a spare one-way screw 240b is attached to a spare mounting sealing piece 231 different from the mounting sealing piece 230 used for once mounting. It attaches to the attachment hole 316b.

  Further, in this attached state, as shown in FIG. 25 (b), the plate-like pieces 221 and 221 are inserted into gaps formed between the rotating shafts 333 and 333 and the locking plates 323 and 323. Thus, the separation of the pivot shafts 333 and 333 from the shaft support grooves 320 and 320 is restricted by the plate-like pieces 221 and 221 of the substrate case 200 attached to the movable base 302. As a result, even if the movable base 302 is rotated and disposed at the attachment / detachment position C, the support state of the movable base 302 with respect to the fixed base 301 cannot be released.

  Unless the substrate case 200 is removed from the movable base 302, the plate-like pieces 221 and 221 inserted into the gap formed between the rotating shafts 333 and 333 and the locking plates 323 and 323 are taken out from the gap. In other words, the restriction of the detachment of the shaft support grooves 320 and 320 from the rotation shafts 333 and 333 cannot be released. Therefore, not only the substrate case 200 is removed from the movable base 302 but also the movable base 302 with respect to the fixed base 301 is moved. The movable base 302 cannot be detached from the fixed base 301 no matter what rotational position it is placed.

  Further, the rotation shafts 333 and 333 are covered with plate-like pieces 221 and 221 inserted into gaps formed between the rotation shafts 333 and 333 and the locking plates 323 and 323. Specifically, the locking plates 323 and 323 have a slightly smaller width than the separation width between the shaft support plate 321 and the side piece 322c, so that the rotation shafts 333 and 333 and the locking plate 323 are arranged. The movable base 302 is detached from the fixed base 301 by cutting the rotary shafts 333 and 333 in order to cover the rotary shafts 333 and 333 in the longitudinal direction in a state of being inserted into the gap formed between the fixed base 301 and the rotary base 333. Unauthorized actions such as removal are prevented.

  In this attached state, the front side of the base attaching screw 335 for attaching the fixed base 301 to the back plate 1c is the covering portion of the movable base 302, no matter what rotational position the movable base 302 is placed with respect to the fixed base 301. 322 is covered, that is, the covering portion 322 is disposed opposite to the front surface side of the base mounting screw 335, and the left outer side is covered with the protective piece 330c, so that a driver or a finger is brought into contact with the base mounting screw 335. Even if it tries, it will become difficult to contact, and it will become impossible to arrange a driver on the extension of axis P2 of base attachment screw 335.

  Therefore, in the mounted state, the base mounting screw 335 cannot be removed from the back plate 1c unless the substrate case 200 is removed from the movable base 302. Therefore, the substrate case 200 can be detached from the movable base 302 or moved from the fixed base 301. Not only can the base 302 be removed, but also the fixed base 301 cannot be removed from the back plate 1c, so that it is possible to prevent the substrate case 200 from being removed from the back plate 1c together with the case support device 300.

  As shown in FIG. 27, the board case 200 attached to the case support device 300 attached to the back plate 1c in this way has the electronic component mounting surface 40a of the game control board 40 and the electronic effects of the first effect control board 90. A first rotation restricting position A (first position) where the component mounting surface 90a faces the front side and the terminal surfaces 40b and 90b face the inner surface of the back plate 1c and cannot be seen from the front side of the housing 1a. ), The mounting surfaces 40a and 90a face the inner surface of the left side plate of the housing 1a, and the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 and the terminal surface 90b side of the first effect control board 90 are visible from the front side of the housing 1a. The second rotation restricting position B (second position) is supported within a rotatable range (approximately 83 degrees).

  Therefore, when the substrate case 200 is positioned at the first rotation restriction position A, the mounting surface 40a of the game control substrate 40 and the mounting surface 90a of the first effect control substrate 90 face the front side. Even if the case 200 is not removed from the movable base 302, the mounting surfaces 40a and 90a can be viewed through the transparent cover member 202 from the front side of the housing 1a.

  On the other hand, when the board case 200 is positioned near the second rotation restricting position B, the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 and the terminal face 90b of the first effect control board 90 are separated from the back plate 1c. Since it faces rightward, it is possible to visually recognize the terminal surfaces 40b and 90b through the transparent base member 201 and the transparent movable base 302 from the front side of the housing 1a without removing the substrate case 200 from the movable base 302. Become. Therefore, even when the substrate case 200 is attached to the housing 1a, the mounting surface 40a of the game control board 40 and the mounting surface 90a of the first effect control board 90 and the terminals accommodated inside the substrate case 200 are simply turned. It is possible to easily confirm visually whether or not there is a trace of unauthorized modification or the like on the surfaces 40b and 90b.

  As shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 26, the substrate case 200 is normally disposed at the first rotation restricting position A. In this state, cable-side connectors of various cables are connected to the board-side connectors arranged so as to face the connector openings 236 formed in the cover member 202.

  Of the plurality of connector openings 236 formed in the cover member 202, the connector openings 236d to 236c facing the board-side connectors 620a to 620c of the game control board 40 are as shown in FIG. Is located on the left side of the center position, that is, on the side where the rotation shafts 333 and 333 are disposed. Of the board-side connectors 620a to 620c facing the connector openings 236a to 236c, the connection part between the cable-side connector 610c and the board-side connector 620c, one end of which is connected to the power supply board 101, is covered by the protective member 660 described above. In addition, the connection portion between the cable-side connector 610b and the board-side connector 620b, one end of which is connected to the start switch 7, is covered by the connector restricting member 650 described above, and in particular, the cable-side connector 610b covered by the connector restricting member 650. Is restricted from being removed from the board-side connector 620b.

  Thus, the cables 600a to 600c connected to the board-side connectors 620a to 620c provided in the region on the left side of the center position in the left-right direction of the cover member 202 are wired together on the inner surface of the left side plate. The cable side connectors 610a to 610c provided on the cables 600a to 600c can rotate the board case 200 to the second rotation restricting position B without being removed from the board side connectors 620a to 620c. It has become. Further, if the cable-side connector connected to the board-side connector provided in the region on the right side of the center position in the left-right direction of the cover member 202 is not removed from the board-side connector, the board case 200 is moved in the second direction It can be rotated to the restriction position B.

  In other words, the board-side connectors 620a to 620c arranged in the left region near the rotation shaft 333 have a movement distance when the substrate case 200 is rotated around the rotation shaft 333 so that the movement distance is far from the rotation shaft 333. Therefore, the surplus length of the connected cables 600a to 600c is shorter than that of the cable connected to the board-side connector arranged in the right region far from the rotation shaft 333. I'll do it.

  Therefore, if the board-side connectors 620a to 620c and the like that are covered by the protective member 660 and the connector restricting member 650 and are troublesome to remove are arranged in the left region near the rotation shaft 333, the board case 200 is rotated. Since it is not necessary to sequentially remove the cable-side connectors 610a to 610c from the board-side connectors 620a to 620c each time it is moved, the confirmation work of the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 is not complicated. When the board case 200 can be rotated without removing the cables from the board side connectors 620a to 620c, the cables 600a to 600c can be shortened as much as possible.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the board-side connectors 620a to 620c that are covered by at least the protective member 660 and the connector restricting member 650 and are troublesome to remove are disposed along the left short side near the rotation shaft 333. Is preferred. That is, if the board side connectors 620a to 620c are arranged along the rotation shaft 333, the movement distances of the board side connectors 620a to 620c are all the same, so that the cables 600a to 600c can be shortened as much as possible.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the upper outer wall portion 216a and the upper inner wall portion projecting at a height in contact with or close to the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 from the bottom surface of the base plate 201a toward the front. 216b, a left wall portion 216c, a right wall portion 216d, a lower outer wall portion 216e, and a lower inner wall portion 216f are formed.

Since it becomes difficult to access the terminal 40e, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching an unauthorized part to the terminal 40e of the socket 40d.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 is mounted on the game control board 40 by being mounted on the socket 40d. However, the main control unit 41 is mounted directly on the game control board 40. In such a configuration, the terminal of the main control unit 41 protruding toward the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 is configured to be stored in the terminal storage units 216g and 216h. Since it becomes difficult to access the terminals, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching unauthorized parts to the terminals of the main control unit 41.

  Further, in this embodiment, board support pieces 214a to 214k and m for supporting the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are provided on the front surface of the base plate 201a, and the board support pieces 214a to 214k and m are provided. Of these, the board support piece 214a closest to the main terminal protection part 216 is formed at a position where the extension line of the board support piece 214a intersects with a part of the main terminal protection part 216. When attaching the base member 201 to the base member 201, the vertical position of the upper outer wall 216a, the upper inner wall 216b, the lower outer wall 216e, the lower inner wall 216f and the terminal 40e of the socket 40d constituting the main terminal protection part 216 In particular, the terminal 40e of the socket 40d is connected to the upper outer wall portion 216a, the upper inner wall portion 216b, the lower outer wall portion 216e, and the lower inner wall portion 216f. It can be prevented from being touched.

  Of the board support pieces 214a to 214k, m, the board support pieces 214e, m are formed such that the extension lines of the board support pieces 214e, m are the terminals 40e in one row of the terminals 40e in the two rows of the socket 40d and the other. Since it is formed at a position passing between the terminals 40e of the row, when the game control board 40 is attached to the base member 201, the left wall portion 216c, the right wall portion 216d constituting the main terminal protection portion 216, and the socket Positioning in the left-right direction with the terminal 40e of 40d becomes easy, and in particular, the terminal 40e of the socket 40d can be prevented from coming into contact with the left wall part 216c and the right wall part 216d.

  In this embodiment, the main terminal protection part 216 is provided between the upper inner wall part 216b and the lower inner wall part 216f so as to abut on or close to the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40. When the game control board 40 is attached to the base member 201, the front face of the contact part 216i comes into contact with or close to the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40, It is possible to prevent unauthorized parts and the like from being attached between the terminal surface 40b and the base member 201.

  In this embodiment, the entire region between the upper inner wall portion 216b and the lower inner wall portion 216f is a contact portion 216i that contacts or approaches the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40. Even if it is the structure where the contact part which contact | abutted or adjoined to the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 was provided in the one part area | region between the upper inner wall part 216b and the lower inner wall part 216f, the terminal surface 40b It is possible to prevent unauthorized parts and the like from being attached between the base member 201 and the base member 201.

  In the present embodiment, the contact portion 216i is configured to contact or be close to the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40, but the gap between the contact portion 216i and the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 is not limited. However, if the configuration is narrower than the gap between the bottom surface of the base member 201 and the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 in a region other than at least the main terminal protection unit 216 and the sub terminal protection unit 217, the terminal surface 40b It is possible to prevent unauthorized parts and the like from being attached to the base member 201.

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminal accommodating portions 216g and 216h that can individually accommodate the two rows of terminals 40e of the socket 40d are formed, but the upper inner wall portion 216b and the lower inner wall portion 216f are not provided, and the socket 40d The two rows of terminals 40e may be accommodated in one space surrounded by the upper outer wall portion 216a, the left wall portion 216c, the right wall portion 216d, and the lower outer wall portion 216e. Since it becomes difficult to access the terminal 40e of the socket 40d to which the main control unit 41 is mounted, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching an unauthorized part to the terminal 40e of the socket 40d.

  Further, in this embodiment, the base member 201 is manufactured by die molding, and is die-cut by being pushed out by an ejector pin, but the area other than the area of the main terminal protection part 216 is used. Is ejected by an ejector pin, and a die removal trace 218 by the ejector pin is formed in a region other than the region of the main terminal protection portion 216. Therefore, the die removal trace 218 of the ejector pin The visibility of the area surrounded by the upper outer wall part 216a, the left wall part 216c, the right wall part 216d, and the lower outer wall part 216e, i.e., the area where an unauthorized part or the like is likely to be attached, is not impaired.

  Moreover, since it is an area | region other than the area | region of the main terminal protection part 216, and also the periphery vicinity of the main terminal protection part 216 is pushed out by ejector pins, the base member 201 is die-cut. In this case, variations occur in the shapes of the upper outer wall portion 217a, the upper inner wall portion 217b, the left wall portion 217c, the right wall portion 217d, the lower outer wall portion 217e, and the lower inner wall portion 217f which are highly likely to be buffered with the terminal 40e of the socket 40d. That can be suppressed.

  In this embodiment, the game control board 40 on which the main control unit 41 is mounted and the first sub-control unit 91 that controls the production including the control related to the ART that affects the advantage for the player are mounted. The first effect control board 90 is housed in one board case 200 in a state where the board-to-board connection is made via the connectors 410 and 420, and the first effect control board 90 is moved forward from the bottom surface of the base plate 201a.

The left wall portion 217c and the right wall portion 217d are surrounded by one row of terminals 90e on the lower side of the socket 90d. The terminal housing portion 217h accommodates the lower outer wall portion 217e, the lower inner wall portion 217f, Since it is surrounded by the wall portion 217c and the right wall portion 217d and it becomes difficult to access the terminal 90e of the socket 90d to which the first sub-control portion 91 is attached, the terminal 90e of the socket 90d is illegal. It is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching parts.

  In the present embodiment, the first sub control unit 91 is mounted on the first effect control board 90 by being mounted on the socket 90d, but the first sub control part 91 is mounted on the first effect control board 90. In such a configuration, the terminals of the first sub-control unit 91 protruding toward the terminal surface 90b side of the first effect control board 90 are accommodated in the terminal accommodating portions 217g and 217h. With this configuration, since it becomes difficult to access the terminal of the first sub-control unit 91, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching an unauthorized part to the terminal of the first sub-control unit 91.

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminal accommodating portions 217g and 217h capable of separately accommodating the two rows of terminals 90e of the socket 90d are formed, but the upper inner wall portion 217b and the lower inner wall portion 217f are not provided, and the socket 90d is provided. The two rows of terminals 90e may be accommodated in one space surrounded by the upper outer wall portion 217a, the left wall portion 217c, the right wall portion 217d, and the lower outer wall portion 217e. Since it becomes difficult to access the terminal 90e of the socket 90d to which the first sub-control unit 91 is mounted, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching an unauthorized part to the terminal 90e of the socket 90d.

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminal 40e of the socket 40d of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40 and the terminal 90e of the socket 90d of the first sub control unit 91 mounted on the first effect control board 90 are based.

  In the present embodiment, both the main terminal protection unit 216 and the sub terminal protection unit 217 are provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 201a. However, only one of them may be provided.

  In this embodiment, the game control board 40 on which the main control unit 41 is mounted and the first sub-control unit 91 that controls the production including the control related to the ART that affects the advantage for the player are mounted. The first effect control board 90 is stored in one board case 200 in a state where the board-to-board connection is made via the connectors 410 and 420, but the game control board 40 or the first effect control board 90 is separately provided. It is good also as a structure accommodated in this board | substrate case, or a structure where only the game control board 40 is accommodated in the board case 200. In this case, by providing the main terminal protection portion in the board case that accommodates only the game control board 40, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching unauthorized parts to the terminals 40e of the socket 40d. In addition, by providing the sub terminal protection portion in the board case that accommodates only the first effect control board 90, it is possible to prevent fraud such as attaching an unauthorized part to the terminal 90e of the socket 90d.

  In the present embodiment, the game control board 40 on which the main control unit 41 that controls the game is mounted, and the first sub control unit 91 that controls the production including the control related to the ART that affects the advantage for the player. Is mounted in one board case 200 in a state where the board is connected to the board via connectors 410 and 420, and the board case 200 is opened without leaving a trace. For example, by connecting unauthorized parts or the like between cables connecting the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 to the first sub-control unit 91 In addition, it is difficult to perform fraud such as receiving an illegal command, and the possibility of fraud can be detected at an early stage by leaving a trace even after opening.

  It should be noted that the control that affects the advantage for the player is a control for notifying an operation mode advantageous for the player, a control for notifying whether or not the current game state is a game state advantageous for the player, and for the player. This includes control that gives an advantageous privilege. Here, the benefits that are advantageous to the player include the right (such as winning a lottery that determines whether or not to generate the advantageous state) that allows the player to shift to an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, The right to be notified of an advantageous operation mode, the right to be controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value to which a gaming value is given, the right to be notified whether or not the current gaming state is a gaming state advantageous to the player, It may be a privilege that is directly advantageous to the player, such as a period controlled by the advantageous state (the number of fixed games, the average value of the number of games that varies depending on the end condition, etc.), or may be directly advantageous to the player. However, it may be a benefit that is indirectly advantageous to the player, for example, a condition for obtaining a privilege on the Internet.

  In this embodiment, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are stored in one board case 200 in a state where the board-to-board connection is made via the connectors 410 and 420. The control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are stored in one board case 200 together with the cable in a state where they are connected via the cable, and the board case 200 cannot be opened without leaving a trace. It may be configured to be sealed as such, and even with such a configuration, it is difficult to perform fraud such as causing the first sub-control unit 91 to receive an illegal command. Even if it is opened, the trace remains, so the possibility of fraud can be detected early.

  In the present embodiment, the game control board and the first effect control board 90 are arranged in parallel with each other, that is, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 do not overlap with each other in one board case 200. Although it is configured to be stored, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are connected to each other and stored in one board case, and the board case 200 does not leave a trace. It is good also as a structure sealed so that it cannot open, and even with such a structure, improper such as making the first sub-control unit 91 receive an illegal command In addition to being difficult, it is possible to detect early the possibility that fraud has been done by leaving the traces even after opening. Further, in such a configuration, since the size of the substrate case 200 can be reduced, it is possible to prevent the attachment position of the substrate case 200 to the slot machine main body from being restricted due to the increase in the size of the substrate case 200.

  Further, in this embodiment, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are stored in one board case 200 in a state where the board-to-board connection is made via the connectors 410 and 420. It is not necessary to house a cable or the like for connecting the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90, and the board case 200 is enlarged, so that the mounting position of the board case 200 to the slot machine body is restricted. Can be prevented.

  In this embodiment, the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the first sub-control unit 91 is transmitted by serial communication, so that the number of signal lines used for command transmission can be reduced. The connectors 410 and 420 for connecting the control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 can be reduced in size, and as a result, the board case 200 is increased in size so that the mounting position of the board case 200 is limited. Can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the first sub-control unit 91 determines the contents of the effect (including effects that affect the player's advantage), while the second sub-control unit 191 determines the first sub-control unit 91. The second sub-control unit 191 is configured so as not to independently determine the production content, and as shown in FIG. 28, the game in which the main control unit 41 is mounted is performed. While the first effect control board 90 on which the control board 40 and the first sub-control unit 91 are mounted is stored in one board case 200 in a state where the board-to-board connection is made via the connectors 410 and 420, The second presentation control board 190 on which the second sub-control section 191 that performs only the output control of the presentation apparatus according to the content determined by the first sub-control section 91 is not accommodated in the board case 200, and is not contained in the board case 200. It is adapted to be installed on the outside. That is, the second sub-control unit 191 responsible for other than the control related to the ART that affects the advantage of the effect control is mounted on the second effect control board 190 that is separate from the first effect control board 90, so that the first Since the area of the effect control board 90 can be reduced, it is possible to prevent the mounting position of the board case 200 from being restricted due to the increase in the size of the board case 200.

  In the present embodiment, the game control board 40 on which the main control unit 41 is mounted and the first effect control board 90 on which the first sub control unit 91 is mounted are connected to each other via connectors 410 and 420. The second effect control board 190 on which the second sub control unit 191 that performs only output control in accordance with the content determined by the first sub control unit 91 is housed in one board case 200 in a state. Although not stored in 200 and installed outside the board case 200, as shown in FIG. 29A, the contents of the effects (including effects that affect the player's advantage) are determined. An effect control board equipped with an effect control unit that also performs output control of the effect device according to the determined contents, a game control board equipped with the main control unit 41 and an effect control equipped with the effect control unit The boards may be stored in a single substrate case 200 in a connected state, and the substrate case 200 may be sealed so that it cannot be opened without leaving a trace. Even if it is a simple configuration, it is difficult to perform fraud such as having the production control unit receive illegal commands, and there is a possibility that fraud has been done by leaving the trace even if it is opened It can be discovered early.

  In addition, the main control is provided with an effect control board on which an effect control unit that determines the contents of the effect (including effects that affect the advantage for the player) and also controls the output of the effect device according to the determined contents. Even if the game control board on which the unit 41 is mounted and the effect control board on which the effect control unit is mounted are connected to each other in one board case 200 as shown in FIG. As described above, a ROM board on which effect data ROM storing effect data such as image data used for display control and sound data used for sound output control is provided separately from the effect control board, and the main control unit 41 is installed. The produced game control board 40 and the production control board on which the production control unit is mounted are stored in one board case 200 while the production data used by the production control unit is stored. Since the effect data ROM substrate on which the effect data ROM is mounted is not housed in the substrate case 200 and installed outside the substrate case 200, the area of the effect control board can be reduced. It is possible to prevent the mounting position of the substrate case 200 from being limited by increasing the size.

  As shown in FIG. 29 (c), the first sub-control unit 91 determines the contents of the effect (including effects that affect the advantage for the player) and controls the display of the liquid crystal display 51. Provided with a display control board on which a display control unit is mounted, a sound control board on which a sound control unit for controlling output of sound is mounted, and a light emission control board on which a light emission control unit for controlling light emission of LEDs is mounted. The game control board 40 on which the main control unit 41 is mounted and the first sub control unit 91 are mounted in a configuration in which the control unit, the sound control unit, and the light emission control unit perform only output control in accordance with the content determined by the first sub control unit 91. The display control unit, the sound control unit, which performs only output control according to the content determined by the first sub-control unit 91, while being housed in one substrate case 200 in a connected state. Departure When the display control board, the sound control board, and the light emission control board on which the control units are mounted are not housed in the board case 200 and are installed outside the board case 200, as shown in FIG. In addition, the first sub-control unit 91 determines the contents of the effect (including effects that affect the player's advantage), performs sound output control, LED light emission control, and performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51. In a configuration in which a display control board on which the display control unit is mounted is separately provided and the display control unit performs only output control according to the contents determined by the first sub-control unit 91, the game control board 40 on which the main control unit 41 is mounted. The first presentation control board 90 on which the first sub-control unit 91 is mounted is stored in one board case 200 while being determined according to the contents determined by the first sub-control part 91. Even when the display control board on which the display control unit that performs only output control is mounted is not housed in the board case 200 and is installed outside the board case 200, the area of the first effect control board 90 is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the mounting position of the substrate case 200 from being restricted due to the increase in the size of the substrate case 200.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the installation portion where the substrate case 200 is installed during non-working (normal time) when the game shop is open and maintenance work is not performed is the inner surface of the back plate 1c of the housing 1a. Although it was set as the upper part, an installation part can be changed arbitrarily and may be locations other than the upper part in the inner surface of the backplate 1c, and the side plate of the housing | casing 1a may be sufficient as it. Alternatively, it may be a predetermined place on the inner surface of the front door 1b.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the board case 200 is adapted to the installation part at the upper part of the inner surface of the back plate 1c by locking the locking hook 319 to the locking pin 303a at the first rotation restricting position A. However, it may be maintained at the installation portion by a locking member or a screw member other than the locking hook 319.

  In this embodiment, the substrate case 200 is assembled to the movable base 302 so that neither the substrate case 200 nor the movable base 302 can be removed from the back plate 1c. If the substrate case 200 can be maintained at the installation portion of the back plate 1c at the first rotation restricting position A, the substrate case 200 can be detached from the housing 1a at the second turn restricting position B. Also good.

  In this embodiment, the substrate case 200 is attached to the back plate 1c via the movable base 302. However, the substrate case 200 may be directly attached to the back plate 1c.

  In this embodiment, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are arranged in parallel with each other, that is, the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 do not overlap with each other, and are transparent thermoplastic. Since it is accommodated in one substrate case 200 made of synthetic resin, the mounting surface or back surface of the other substrate is not hidden by one substrate, and the mounting surface of the game control substrate 40 accommodated in the substrate case 200 40a and the mounting surface 90a and the terminal surfaces 40b and 90b of the first effect control board 90 can be looked over from the outside of the board case 200, so that the possibility of fraudulent acts can be easily found in inspection work etc. can do.

  Further, in this embodiment, the board case 200 that houses the game control board 40 cannot be easily removed by being attached to the housing 1a via the case support device 300. That is, by attaching the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302, the movable base 302 cannot be removed from the back plate 1c unless a trace is left, such as destroying a predetermined part, and the substrate case 200 is removed from the movable base 302. Can not be.

  In this embodiment, by attaching the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302, the movable base 302 cannot be removed from the back plate 1c, and the substrate case 200 cannot be removed from the movable base 302. Is provided so as to be rotatable between a first rotation restricting position A and a second rotation restricting position B around a predetermined rotation shaft 333, whereby the substrate case 200 is moved to the movable base 302. As shown in FIG. 27, even when the slot machine body is detachably attached to the slot machine body, the first mounting surface 40a side of the game control board 40 and the first rendering control board 90 side can be visually recognized. The second rotation restriction position where the rotation restriction position A and the terminal surface 40b side of the game control board 40 and the terminal face 90b side of the first effect control board 90 are visible. Since the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 are not overlapped with each other, even if the board case 200 accommodated in the slot machine main body is attached to the slot machine body, the game control board 40 40 and the state of both the mounting surface and the back surface of the first effect control board 90 can be reliably confirmed.

  In the present embodiment, the front and back sides of the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 can be obtained by rotating the movable base 302 relative to the fixed base 301 even when the board case 200 is attached to the housing 1a. Since both the welding part as the assembling means and the sealing part including the sealing seal 400 are arranged on the right side on the opposite side of the rotating shaft 333, whether or not the cover member 202 has been opened. That is, it is possible to easily check whether or not the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 have been illegally modified. Further, in the assembled state, when the cover member 202 is opened, the trace remains, so that the board case 200 containing the illegal game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 is replaced. It is possible to discover that there has been a possibility of cheating. Furthermore, there is a possibility that an illegal act such as replacement of the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 has been performed by reading the ID information stored in the IC chip 405 of the IC tag 403 by the reader device. In addition to removing the closing screw 226 from the opening or opening the cover member 202 after releasing the sealing state, not only does the seal seal 400 break, but the trace remains reliably, and the IC tag 403 Since the ID information cannot be read by a reader device or the like due to damage to the cover member 202, it is possible to easily detect that the cover member 202 has been opened and to prevent unauthorized use of the IC tag 403 Is done.

  As shown in FIG. 26B, particularly in this embodiment, when the movable base 302 and the substrate case 200 are disposed at the second rotation restricting position B, the right side portion side of the substrate case 200, that is, the welding is performed. Since the part and the sealing part are arranged so as to protrude outward from the front opening of the housing 1a, the state of the welded part and the sealing part can be confirmed on the outside of the housing 1a and the front and back sides can be visually confirmed. In addition, the confirmation workability at the time of inspection is improved. Furthermore, since the IC tag 403 of the seal sticker 400 is disposed at the front position of the housing 1a, not only the ID information can be easily read by the reader device, but also provided on the housing 1a. Since the user is away from the metal gaming parts and the like, the ID information can be reliably read.

  Further, in this embodiment, the welding portion is applied as the assembling means for assembling the cover member 202 to the base member 201. However, the present invention is not limited to such a welding means. For example, a one-way screw, a latch or the like is assembled. A means for assembling with an attaching member may be used.

  In the first embodiment, the welded portion and the sealing portion are provided on one short side portion of the substrate case 200. However, when the rotating shaft 333 is disposed on one long side portion side, What is necessary is just to provide a welding part and a sealing part in the long side part side.

  Even when the board case 200 is attached to the back plate 1c, the board surface 200b of the game control board 40 is rotated by rotating the board case 200 from the first rotation restricting position A to the second rotation restricting position B. Since the terminal surface 90b side of the first effect control board 90 can be visually confirmed, it is easy to check whether or not the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 have been tampered with. Can do. Further, when the movable base 302 is detached from the fixed base 301 or the substrate case 200 is detached from the movable base 302 in the assembled state in which the substrate case 200 is attached to the movable base 302, a cut piece 233 or a plate-like shape is obtained. Not only the traces are left by cutting the piece 221 and the like, but also when the base mounting screw 335 is removed and the fixed base 301 is removed from the back plate 1c, that is, the board case 200 is cut to be removed from the movable base 302. Even when the piece 233 is cut or the covering portion 322 or the cover member 336 of the movable base 302 is destroyed, the trace remains, so the board case 200 is removed from the back plate 1c, and the illegal game control board 40 and the first effect are obtained. An illegal act such as switching to the board case 200 containing the control board 90 was performed. It is possible to discover that there is a potential.

  In other words, the attachment of the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302, the attachment of the fixed base 301 to the movable base 302, and the attachment of the fixed base 301 to the back plate 1c destroy the attachment-related parts related to those attachments (cutting or If it is performed by the attachment means that cannot release each attachment state unless it includes (such as peeling), the trace remains reliably when each attachment state is released, and this causes illegal acts. It can be surely discovered that there was a possibility.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the front door 1b is pivotally supported on the left side of the housing 1a so that the substrate case 200 is also the same as the front door 1b when the front door 1b is opened. Since it rotates around the left side, the terminal surface 40b opens to the right without the front door 1b when visually recognizing the terminal surface 40b of the substrate case 200, so the front door 1b is obstructive when checking. Never become.

  Further, in a state where the substrate case 200 is located within the rotatable range between the first rotation restricting position A and the second rotation restricting position B, the covering portion 322 as the operation blocking portion is always provided. Since the operation groove 335c is disposed so as not to be operated, the fixing base 301 can not be removed from the back plate 1c without using a special mounting member such as a one-way screw, and the covering portion 322 can be removed. Is provided on the movable base 302 that is integrally assembled with the fixed base 301, so that it is not easily removed in the assembled state. In the present embodiment, the covering portion 322 as the operation blocking portion is provided on the movable base 302, but may be provided on the substrate case 200. Further, since the base mounting screw 335 is mounted in a state covered with the cover member 366, it cannot be easily accessed by a tool such as a screwdriver.

  Further, since the movable base 302 is configured to be attached to and detached from the fixed base 301 from the attachment / detachment position C, the fixed base 301 can be easily attached and detached with the base attachment screw 335, and a one-way screw. By attaching the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302 by 240 a, the plate-like piece 221 provided in the attached substrate case 200 restricts the detachment of the rotation shaft 333 from the shaft support groove 320, and the fixed base 301. Since the cover 322 provided on the movable base 302 that can no longer be removed from the base can not always release the mounting state with the base mounting screw 335 within the rotatable range, the fixed base 301 and the like are destroyed. Even when replacement is necessary, the housing 1a It is not necessary to or removed from the back plate 1c of the fixed base 301 to destroy, it is possible to reuse a housing 1a.

  In addition, since the movable base 302 can be attached to and detached from the fixed base 301 unless the substrate case 200 is attached, a predetermined part is damaged or destroyed due to, for example, a turning operation or an illegal act. When the shaft support groove 320 is worn due to friction with the rotation shaft 333 or the like, it is possible to easily remove it from the fixed base 301.

  Further, since the detachment of the movable base 302 from the fixed base 301 can be regulated by using the attachment of the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302 by the one-way screw 240a, the movable base 302 can be simply removed from the movable base 302. In addition to the one-way screw 240a for attaching the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302, a means for regulating the separation of the rotating shaft 333 from the shaft support groove 320 can be removed. Therefore, not only can the structure of the case support device 300 be simplified, but also the work load can be reduced.

  In addition, since the substrate case 200 is attached to the movable base 302 with the one-way screw 240a that cannot be removed once attached to the attachment base 315, the cutting piece 233 is cut to attach the attachment sealing piece 230 to the substrate case 200. The substrate case 200 cannot be removed from the movable base 302 unless it is separated from the main body or the mounting base 315 or the like that is a part of the movable base 302 is destroyed. When the substrate case 200 is detached from the movable base 302 by separating the stop piece 230 from the main body of the substrate case 200, the attachment sealing piece 230 separated from the substrate case 200 is attached to the attachment base 315 together with the one-way screw 240a. It is held and the mounting sealing piece 230 is not a single member, but a movable base Since remaining mounting base 315 of the 02, it can be discarded along with the mounting base 315.

  In this embodiment, the mounting base 315 having the mounting holes 316a and 316b of the movable base 302 to which the mounting sealing piece 230 as the mounted portion of the substrate case 200 and the spare mounting sealing piece 231 are mounted is the movable base. Since it is provided so that it can be attached to and detached from 302, even when the substrate case 200 is removed twice, it is possible to reuse the movable base 302 without replacing it if only the mounting base 315 is replaced. However, these mounting holes 316 a and 316 b may be formed directly in the movable base 302.

  Further, the movable base 302 can be easily rotated from the fixed base 301 by performing the same operation as rotating the substrate case 200 without rotating it to the attaching / detaching position C (third position), that is, performing a special removing operation. In addition, the plate-like piece 221 serving as the shaft restricting portion directly contacts the rotating shaft 333 at least at the attachment / detachment position C, thereby restricting the separation from the shaft support groove 320. Since it is not necessary to provide the attachment / detachment position C outside the rotatable range, the rotatable range of the substrate case 200 can be made as small as possible.

  In addition, since the plate-like piece 221 that covers the rotation shaft 333 can be used as a detachment restricting portion, not only can the structure of the substrate case 200 be simplified, but the plate-like piece 221 can be used as the substrate case 200. Is attached to the movable base 302 by the one-way screw 240a, the left side of the substrate case 200 is locked by the locking plate 323 as a locking portion, so that the one-way screw 240a is not provided on both the left side and the right side. The left and right short sides of the substrate case 200 can be attached to the movable base 302.

  Further, by using the attachment of the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302 by the one-way screw 240a, the rotation shaft 333 can be covered with the plate-like piece 221 as the shaft covering portion, so that the shaft covering portion is previously formed on the fixed base 301 or the like. Therefore, the movable base 302 can be easily assembled to the fixed base 301 at the time of manufacture, and it is not necessary to provide a means for attaching the shaft covering portion separately from the one-way screw 240a. Not only can it be simplified, but the workload can be reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, by rotating the substrate case 200 together with the movable base 302, the mounting surface 40a of the game control board 40, the mounting surface 90a of the first effect control board 90, and the terminal surfaces 40b, 90b (one side and the other) If the surface (front and back surfaces) is visible, at the position where one of the mounting surfaces 40a, 90a or the terminal surfaces 40b, 90b is visible, the other is not necessarily a predetermined part of the housing 1a (back plate or side plate). It is not necessary to be disposed opposite to the inner surface.

  Further, in this embodiment, the plate-like piece 221 that locks one side of the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302 is a regulating portion that regulates the detachment of the rotation shaft 333 from the shaft support groove 320 and the rotation shaft 333. The covering portion that covers the rotating shaft 333 and the covering portion that covers the rotating shaft 333 are movable on one side of the substrate case 200. You may comprise in the site | part different from the plate-shaped piece 221 latched to the base 302. FIG.

  In this embodiment, the substrate case 200 is attached to the movable base 302 with the one-way screws 240a and 240b. However, the attachment member such as a locking pin, the attachment member such as an adhesive, You may make it attach via the attachment member which cannot be removed once attached. Further, a locking pin or the like for attaching the substrate case 200 to the movable base 302 may be formed integrally with the substrate case 200 or the movable base 302 in advance.

  In this embodiment, the cover member 202 and the base member 201 are sealed by heat welding and sealing. However, a fixing member such as a one-way screw or a locking pin, or a fixing member such as an adhesive. You may make it fix through.

  In the present embodiment, the substrate case 200 is rotatably supported on the inner surface of the back plate 1c of the housing 1a via the case support device 300. However, the substrate case 200 is limited to those attached to the back plate 1c. It may be attached to the inner surfaces of the left and right side plates of the housing 1a, or may be attached to the rear surface of the front door 1b. Furthermore, you may attach to the attachment member etc. which are provided in these housing | casing 1a or the front door 1b.

  In this embodiment, the board case 200 can open and close the base member 201 that can cover the terminal surface 40b of the game control board 40 and the terminal face 90b of the first effect control board 90, and the opening of the base member 201. And a cover member 202 that can cover the mounting surface 40a side of the game control board 40, but a case body that covers the game control board 40 and the first effect control board 90 in a coverable manner. In this case, the case body is provided with both a first see-through portion that can see through the mounting surfaces 40a and 90a and a second see-through portion that can see through the terminal surfaces 40b and 90b. It only has to be done.

  Further, in the present embodiment, an assembling means including a welded portion made up of the cover-side welded portion 223 and the base-side welded portion 207, an attached sealing portion made up of the attached sealing piece 230 and the one-way screw 240a, and a base-side sealed portion 229 and the sealing part consisting of the cover side sealing part 224 are arranged in parallel on the right side opposite to the left side arranged on the rotating shaft 333 (shaft part) side of the case support device 300 in the substrate case 200. Therefore, in a state where the substrate case 200 is attached to the movable base 302, the movable base 302 is rotated to the second rotation restricting position B, so that the sealing state and sealing by the assembling means such as welding and one-way screw 240a are performed. Since both of the sealed states of the sealed portion by the seal 400 can be observed at a time, whether or not there is a trace that the sealed state is released and the cover member 202 is opened, that is, the game control board 40 and the first effect control. It is possible to easily check whether or not the substrate 90 has been illegally modified.

  In addition, even when the fixed base 301 is made of a metal plate to improve the strength, the sealing seal 400 having the IC tag 403 is disposed on the opposite side opposite to the side on the fixed base 301 side. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the transmission of ID information to the reader device from being hindered due to a change in the frequency set for the antenna unit (not shown) due to the influence of the metal fixed base 301.
