Next, when the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 rotates the decorative member 83 from the origin position (0 degree) to about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, the “normal rotation” is executed at the time of normal fluctuation display at each rotation angle. The sub-process of “variation process” will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 35, first, in step (hereinafter referred to as S) 1, the CPU 281 counts the display pattern selection counter 283A at the time of inputting the normal variation pattern instruction signal input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290. Is read from the parameter storage area 283B, and the display pattern corresponding to this count value is read from the normal variation display pattern table 146 and stored in the parameter storage area 283B.
For example, when the normal fluctuation pattern instruction signal input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 is “normal fluctuation pattern X1” and the count value read from the parameter storage area 283B is “3”, the normal fluctuation display pattern table “Display pattern A1” is read from 146 as a display pattern and stored in the parameter storage area 283B.

In S2, the CPU 281 reads the display pattern from the parameter storage area 283B again, and outputs the display pattern information corresponding to the display pattern to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260. That is, the CPU 281 instructs the CPU 261 to display a normal variation display pattern.
In S3, the CPU 281 executes determination processing for determining whether or not the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are OFF.
If the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are not both OFF (S3: NO), in S4, the CPU 281 determines that the rotational decoration member 83 is not located at the origin position (0 degree). Then, the sub-process for performing the abnormal process is executed.
On the other hand, when the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are both OFF (S3: YES), in S5, the CPU 281 determines the rotation angle of the rotation decoration member 83 from the origin position (0 degree) in the clockwise direction. The angle variable N to be represented is read from the parameter storage area 283B, and “0” representing 0 degree is substituted into the angle variable N and stored again in the parameter storage area 283B.

In S6, the CPU 281 reads the display pattern from the parameter storage area 283B, reads the time chart corresponding to the display pattern from the rotation drive time chart storage area 282C, and stores it in the RAM 283. Further, from this time chart, it waits for the fluctuation display time of the rotation angle “N degrees” (N is the value of the angle variable N) to pass, that is, the rotation decoration member 83 is moved clockwise from the stop position. The next drive start time for rotating about 30 degrees is read, and the process waits for that time (S6: NO).
For example, in the case of the display pattern A1, the CPU 281 reads out the time chart 151A (see FIG. 29) from the rotation drive time chart storage area 282C. Then, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “0”, reads the time T1 second for starting “30 degree rotation” from the time chart 151A, and sets the time T1. Wait for the second. Further, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “30”, reads the time T3 seconds for starting the “60 degree rotation” from the time chart 151A, and sets the time T3. Wait for the second. Further, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “60”, reads the time T5 seconds for starting the “90 degree rotation” from the time chart 151A, and the time T5 Wait for the second. In addition, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “90”, reads the effect display end time T7 seconds from the time chart 151A, and the time T7 seconds. Wait for.

Subsequently, when the fluctuation display time of the rotation angle “N degrees” has elapsed, that is, when the next drive start time for rotating the rotation decoration member 83 by about 30 degrees clockwise from the stop position is reached. (S6: YES) In S7, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, adds “30” to the angle variable N, and stores it again in the parameter storage area 283B.
In S <b> 8, the CPU 281 again reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283 </ b> B and executes a determination process for determining whether or not it is greater than “90”. If the angle variable N is equal to or smaller than “90” (S8: NO), in S9, the CPU 281 rotates the rotary decoration member 83 until it reaches a position rotated N degrees clockwise from the origin position. After executing the sub-process of “N-degree rotation process”, the processes after S6 are executed again.
On the other hand, when the angle variable N is larger than “90” (S8: YES), in S10, the CPU 281 outputs a change confirmation instruction to the CPU 261, and in S11, rotates the rotating decorative member 83 to about 90 degrees clockwise. After executing a sub-process of “90 ° to 0 ° rotation process” described later that rotates counterclockwise to the origin position (0 °), the sub-process is terminated.

Next, sub processing (S9) of the “N-degree rotation processing” executed by the CPU 281 of the sub integrated control board 280 will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 36, in S21, the CPU 281 reads out the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and executes a determination process for determining whether or not the angle variable N is “90”.
If the angle variable N is not “90” (S21: NO), in S22, the CPU 281 reads the rotation speed DT (degrees / second) of the rotation motor 125 from the ROM 282 and stores it in the RAM 283. Then, the CPU 281 rotates the rotation motor 125 in the clockwise direction at the rotation speed DT (degrees / second), and rotates the rotation decoration member 83 to the corresponding rotation speed (for example, 30 ÷ (T2−T1) (degrees / second). The rotation speed is clockwise.

Subsequently, in S23, the CPU 281 reads the time chart from the RAM 283, reads the rotation driving time for each angle, and waits for the driving time to elapse (S23: NO).
For example, when the time chart 151 is read from the RAM 283, when the angle variable N is “30”, it waits for (T2−T1) seconds from the start of rotation of the motor 125 for rotation. When the time chart 151 is read from the RAM 283, when the angle variable N is “60”, it waits for (T4−T3) seconds from the start of rotation of the motor 125 for rotation.
If the drive time has elapsed (S23: YES), in S24, the CPU 281 stops the rotation drive of the rotation motor 125 via the drive circuit 143, stops the rotation decoration member 83, and then The sub-process is terminated, and the process returns to the “normal rotation fluctuation process” sub-process.

On the other hand, when the angle variable N is “90” in S21 (S21: YES), in S25, the CPU 281 rotates the rotation motor 125 in the clockwise direction at the rotation speed DT (degrees / second) to rotate it. The decorative member 83 is driven to rotate clockwise at a corresponding rotation speed (for example, 30 ÷ (T2−T1) (degrees / second)).
In S <b> 26, the CPU 281 determines whether or not the input signal from the photosensor SW <b> 1 is ON after a predetermined time (for example, about 1 to 3 seconds) has elapsed since the start of the forward rotation of the rotation motor 125. Execute the judgment process. If the input signal from the photosensor SW1 is not ON, that is, if it is OFF (S26: NO), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decoration member 83 is not rotating, and performs abnormality processing in S27. Perform sub-processing.

On the other hand, when the input signal from the photosensor SW1 is ON (S26: YES), the CPU 281 determines that the rotary decoration member 83 is rotating in the clockwise direction, and in S28, the input from the photosensor SW2 is performed. A determination process is executed to determine whether or not the signal has changed from OFF to ON, that is, whether or not the rotating decorative member 83 has rotated about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction.
If the input signal from the photosensor SW2 has not changed from OFF to ON (S28: NO), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decorative member 83 has not yet rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, The forward rotation drive of the rotation motor 125 is continued.
On the other hand, when the input signal from the photosensor SW2 changes from OFF to ON (S28: YES), the CPU 281 determines that the rotary decoration member 83 has rotated about 90 degrees clockwise from the origin position, and S24. , The rotational drive of the rotation motor 125 is stopped via the drive circuit 143, and the rotation decoration member 83 is stopped at a position rotated about 90 degrees clockwise from the origin position. Return to the sub-process of “variation process”.
Note that the processing of S28 may be executed subsequently after the processing of S25 without executing the processing of S26.

Next, the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 executes “90 degrees to 0” when the rotary decorative member 83 is rotationally driven from the position rotated about 90 degrees clockwise to the origin position (0 degrees) counterclockwise. The sub-process (S11) of “degree rotation process” will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 37, in S31, the CPU 281 executes a determination process for determining whether or not the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are ON.
If the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are not both ON (S31: NO), in S32, the CPU 281 is not located at the position where the rotating decorative member 83 has been rotated to about 90 degrees clockwise. And the sub-process for performing the abnormality process is executed.
On the other hand, when the input signals from the photosensors SW1 and SW2 are both ON (S31: YES), in S33, the CPU 281 causes the rotation motor 125 to rotate counterclockwise at a predetermined rotation speed via the drive circuit 143. The rotating decorative member 83 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction at a rotation speed corresponding to the driving time.

In S <b> 34, the CPU 281 determines whether or not the input signal from the photosensor SW <b> 2 is OFF after a predetermined time (for example, about 1 to 3 seconds) has elapsed since the reverse rotation start of the rotation motor 125. Execute judgment processing. If the input signal from the photosensor SW2 is not OFF, that is, if it is ON (S34: NO), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decoration member 83 is not rotating, and executes the processes after S32. .
On the other hand, when the input signal from the photosensor SW2 is OFF (S34: YES), the CPU 281 determines that the rotating decoration member 83 is rotating counterclockwise, and in S35, the signal from the photosensor SW1. Determination processing for determining whether or not the input signal has changed from ON to OFF, that is, whether or not the rotating decoration member 83 has rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise from the start of rotation and has reached the origin position (0 degrees). Execute.
If the input signal from the photosensor SW1 does not change from ON to OFF (S35: NO), the CPU 281 determines that the rotation decoration member 83 has not yet rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from the start of rotation. After determining, the processing from S33 is executed again.
On the other hand, when the input signal from the photosensor SW1 changes from ON to OFF (S35: YES), the CPU 281 rotates the rotation decoration member 83 counterclockwise by about 90 degrees from the start of rotation to the origin position (0). In step S36, the rotation drive of the motor for rotation 125 is stopped via the drive circuit 143, and then the sub-process is terminated and the process returns to the sub-process of “normal rotation fluctuation process”.

Next, FIG. 38 and FIG. 39 show sub-processing of “rotational fluctuation display processing” executed when the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 receives display pattern information of normal fluctuation display from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. This will be explained based on.
As shown in FIG. 38, first, in S41, the CPU 261 performs a determination process for determining whether or not an instruction for rotational variation display has been input from the CPU 281, that is, whether or not display pattern information for normal variation display has been input. Execute. If the instruction is not input (S41: NO), the CPU 261 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when an instruction for rotational variation display is input from the CPU 281, that is, when display pattern information for normal variation display is input (S 41: YES), the CPU 261 responds to this display pattern information in S 42. The display pattern is read from the ROM 262 and the display pattern is stored in the RAM 263. Further, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, assigns “0” representing 0 degree to the angle display variable M, and stores the angle display variable M in the RAM 263 again.
For example, when the display pattern information corresponds to “display pattern A 1”, the CPU 261 reads “display pattern A 1” from the ROM 262 and stores it as a display pattern to be rotated and displayed on the RAM 263. If the display pattern information corresponds to “display pattern B 1”, the CPU 261 reads “display pattern B 1” from the ROM 262 and stores it as a display pattern for rotational display on the RAM 263.

Subsequently, in S43, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and then rotates the rotation angle “M degrees” (M is an angle display algebra) from the normal rotation variation coordinate table 161 stored in the rotation coordinate table storage area 262A.

The data of “variable region coordinates” and “scroll direction” corresponding to the second scroll variation are calculated and stored in the RAM 263.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, the calculation of the start / end coordinates of the second scroll variation is performed in the normal rotation variation coordinate table 161 as shown in FIG. The coordinates “(X1, Y1), (X1, Y2), (X2, Y2) of the“ variable area coordinates ”corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of“ 0 degree ”, where“ rotation angle ”is“ 0 degree ”. ), (X2, Y1) ”and“ right direction ”of“ scroll direction ”representing the scroll direction of the variable symbol are read out and stored in the RAM 263.

Then, the start point coordinate and the end point coordinate corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of each of the second scroll fluctuations 172B, 172C, and 172D passing through the rotation center of the fourth opening 87 are calculated from these data and stored in the RAM 263. .

In S45, after reading the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, the CPU 261 rotates the rotation angle “M degrees” (M is an angle display algebra M) from the normal rotation variation coordinate table 161 stored in the rotation coordinate table storage area 262A. The data of “variable region coordinates”, “normal distance”, and “scroll direction” corresponding to “3” are read, and the start / end coordinates of the third scroll variation are calculated and stored in the RAM 263.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, the calculation of the start / end coordinates of the third scroll variation is performed in the normal rotation variation coordinate table 161 as shown in FIG. The coordinates “(X1, Y1), (X1, Y2), (X2, Y2) of the“ variable area coordinates ”corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of“ 0 degree ”, where“ rotation angle ”is“ 0 degree ”. ), (X2, Y1) ”,“ L1 ”of“ normal distance ”representing the distance from the center of rotation of the fourth opening 87 to the scroll position of the lower variation symbol, and the scroll direction of the variation symbol “Right direction” of “Scroll direction” is read and stored in the RAM 263. Then, from these data, the start point coordinates (X1, (Y2 + Y1) / 2-L1) and the end point coordinates (X2, (Y2 + Y1) / 2-L1) corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of the third scroll fluctuation 173A, Is calculated and stored in the RAM 263.
Similarly, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “30”, “60”, “90”, as shown in FIGS. 39 (B), (C), (D), the normal rotation variation coordinates Each coordinate of “variable region coordinates” corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of each angle “30 degrees”, “60 degrees”, and “90 degrees” of the table 161 and the variation pattern from the rotation center of the fourth opening 87. “L1” of “normal distance” representing the distance to the position of each of the third scroll fluctuations 173B, 173C, 173D and “scroll direction” representing the scroll direction of the fluctuation symbol are read out and stored in the RAM 263.

Subsequently, in S46, the CPU 261 reads out the start / end points coordinates of the first scroll variation, the start / end points coordinates of the second scroll variation, and the start / end points coordinates of the third scroll variation from the RAM 263, and each variation pattern is read from the first variation. Fluctuation display is performed on the first scroll variation to the third scroll variation. Therefore, the display area overlapping with the fourth opening 87 at each rotation angle “0 degree”, “30 degree”, “60 degree”, “90 degree” of the liquid crystal display 52 is changed from the first scroll variation to the third scroll. It becomes each fluctuation | variation area | region where the fluctuation | variation on a fluctuation | variation is displayed.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, the CPU 261, as shown in FIG. 39A, the first scroll fluctuation 171A, the second scroll fluctuation 172A, and the third scroll fluctuation 173A. Each variable symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the top.
When the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “30”, as shown in FIG. 39B, the CPU 261 has the first scroll fluctuation 171B, the second scroll fluctuation 172B, and the third scroll fluctuation 173B. Each variable symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the top.

In S47, the CPU 261 reads the display pattern from the RAM 263, reads the time chart corresponding to the display pattern from the rotation display time chart storage area 262B, and stores it in the RAM 263. Further, the CPU 261 reads the fluctuation display time of the rotation angle “M degrees” (M is the value of the angle display variable M) from this time chart, and waits for the fluctuation display time to elapse (S47: NO).
For example, in the case of the display pattern A1, the CPU 261 reads the time chart 151B from the rotation display time chart storage area 262B and stores it in the RAM 263. Then, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and when the angle display variable M is “0”, the start time 0 second and the end time T1 second of “0 degree variation display” are obtained from the time chart 151B. The scrolling display is continued until reading time 0 seconds, that is, from the start of display until time T1 seconds.
Further, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and when the angle display variable M is “30”, the start time T2 seconds and the end time T3 seconds of “30 degree variation display” are obtained from the time chart 151B. Reading, display is started from time T2 seconds, and the scroll display is continued until time T3 seconds.
Further, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and when the angle display variable M is “60”, the start time T4 seconds and the end time T5 seconds of “60 degree variation display” are obtained from the time chart 151B.

Reading, display is started from time T6 seconds, and the scroll display is continued until time T7 seconds.

Subsequently, when the fluctuation display time of “M degree fluctuation display” of the rotation angle “M degrees” (M is the value of the angle display variable M) has elapsed (S47: YES), in S48, the CPU 261 Reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, adds “30” to the angle display variable M, and stores it again in the RAM 263.
In S49, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a change confirmation instruction from the CPU 281 is input. If the change determination instruction is not input (S49: NO), the CPU 261 again performs S43. The subsequent processing is executed.
On the other hand, when a change confirmation instruction is input from the CPU 281 (S49: YES), in S50, the CPU 261 finishes the change of each change symbol, ends the sub-process, and returns to the main flowchart.

Next, when the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280 rotates the decorative member 83 from the origin position (0 degree) to about 90 degrees in the clockwise direction, the “reach rotation” is executed when the reach fluctuation is displayed at each rotation angle. The sub-process of “variation process” will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 40, in S51, the CPU 281 reads the count value of the display pattern selection counter 283A at the time of inputting the reach variation pattern instruction signal input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 from the parameter storage area 283B. The display pattern corresponding to the count value is read from the reach variation display pattern table 147 and stored in the parameter storage area 283B.
For example, when the reach variation pattern instruction signal input from the CPU 291 of the main control board 290 is “reach variation pattern Y1” and the count value read from the parameter storage area 283B is “3”, the reach variation display pattern table “Display pattern A2” is read from 147 as a display pattern and stored in the parameter storage area 283B.

In S52 through S55, the CPU 281 executes the processes in S2 through S5.
Subsequently, in S56, the CPU 281 reads a display pattern from the parameter storage area 283B, reads a time chart corresponding to the display pattern from the rotation drive time chart storage area 282C, and stores it in the RAM 283. Further, the fluctuation display time of the rotation angle “N degrees” (N is the value of the angle variable N) is read from this time chart, and waiting for the fluctuation display time to elapse, that is, the rotation decoration member 83. Is read from the stop position in the clockwise direction by about 30 degrees and the next drive start time is read and the time is reached (S56: NO).

  For example, in the case of the display pattern A2, the CPU 281 reads out the time chart 155A (see FIG. 30) from the rotation drive time chart storage area 282C. Then, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “0”, reads the time T31 seconds for starting “30-degree rotation” from the time chart 155A, and sets the time T31. Wait for the second. Further, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “30”, reads the time T33 seconds for starting “60 degree rotation” from the time chart 155A, and sets the time T3. Wait for the second. Further, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “60”, reads the time T35 seconds for starting “90-degree rotation” from the time chart 155A, and sets the time T35. Wait for the second. Further, the CPU 281 reads the angle variable N from the parameter storage area 283B, and when the angle variable N is “90”, it reads the end time T37 seconds of the effect display from the time chart 155A, and the time T37 seconds. Wait for.

  Subsequently, when the reach variation display time of the rotation angle “N degrees” (N is the value of the angle variable N) has elapsed (S56: YES), the above S7 to S11 are performed in S57 to S61. After executing the process, the sub-process is terminated.

Next, FIG. 41 and FIG. 42 show sub-processing of “rotational reach display processing” that is executed when the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260 receives display pattern information of reach variation display from the CPU 281 of the sub-integrated control board 280. This will be explained based on.
As shown in FIG. 41, first, in S71, the CPU 261 performs determination processing for determining whether or not an instruction for rotation variation display is input from the CPU 281; that is, whether or not display pattern information for reach variation display is input. Execute. If the instruction is not input (S71: NO), the CPU 261 ends the sub-process and returns to the main flowchart.
On the other hand, when an instruction for rotation variation display is input from the CPU 281, that is, when display pattern information for reach variation display is input (S 71: YES), the CPU 261 corresponds to this display pattern information in S 72. The display pattern is read from the ROM 262 and the display pattern is stored in the RAM 263. Further, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, substitutes “0” representing 0 degree for the angle display variable M, and stores it again in the RAM 263.
For example, when the display pattern information corresponds to “display pattern A 2”, the CPU 261 reads “display pattern A 2” from the ROM 262 and stores it as a display pattern to be rotated and displayed on the RAM 263. When the display pattern information corresponds to “display pattern B 2”, the CPU 261 reads “display pattern B 2” from the ROM 262 and stores it as a display pattern to be rotated and displayed on the RAM 263.

Subsequently, in S73, after reading the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, the CPU 261 rotates the rotation angle “M degrees” (M is an angle display) from the rotation rotation coordinate table 162 stored in the rotation coordinate table storage area 262A. The data of “variable area coordinates”, “reach distance”, “scroll direction”, “first symbol display area”, and “second symbol display area” corresponding to the algebra M is read into the RAM 263. Remember. Then, the CPU 261 reads the coordinate data of the “first symbol display area” from the RAM 263 again, and displays the first special symbol that stops first among the various symbols in the “first symbol display area”.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, the coordinates “(X21, Y21), (X21, Y22) of the first symbol display area 175A as shown in FIG. , (X22, Y22), (X22, Y21) ”, the first special symbol“ 7 ”stopped first among the various symbols is displayed. Similarly, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “30”, “60”, “90”, as shown in FIGS. 42 (B), (C), (D), each rotation angle The coordinate data of each “first symbol display area” corresponding to “30 degrees”, “60 degrees”, and “90 degrees” is read, and each of the variable symbols is stored in each of the first symbol display areas 175B, 175C, and 175D. The first special symbol “7” stopped first is displayed.

In S74, the CPU 261 again reads the coordinate data of the “second symbol display area” from the RAM 263, and displays the second special symbol that has stopped second among the various symbols in the “second symbol display area”. To do.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, as shown in FIG. 42A, each coordinate “(X23, Y21), (X23, Y22) in the second symbol display area 176A”. , (X24, Y22), (X24, Y21) ”, the second special symbol“ 7 ”stopped second among the various symbols is displayed. Similarly, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “30”, “60”, “90”, as shown in FIGS. 42 (B), (C), (D), each rotation angle The coordinate data of each “second symbol display area” corresponding to “30 degrees”, “60 degrees”, and “90 degrees” is read out, and in each of the second symbol display areas 176B, 176C, 176D, The second special symbol “7” stopped second is displayed.

In S <b> 75, the CPU 261 again reads “variation region coordinates”, “reach distance”, and “scroll direction” data from the RAM 263, calculates the start / end coordinates of the third scroll variation, and stores them in the RAM 263.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, the “rotation angle” is “0” as shown in FIG. The coordinates “(X1, Y1), (X1, Y2), (X2, Y2), (X2, Y1)” of the “variable region coordinates” corresponding to the fourth opening 87 in degrees, and the fourth opening The “reach distance” “L2” representing the distance from the rotation center of the portion 87 to the scroll position of the lower fluctuation symbol and the “right direction” of “scroll direction” representing the scroll direction of the fluctuation symbol are read from the RAM 263. . From these data, the start point coordinates (X1, (Y2 + Y1) / 2-L2) and end point coordinates (X2, (Y2 + Y1) / 2-L2) corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of the third scroll fluctuation 177A are obtained. Is calculated and stored in the RAM 263.
Similarly, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “30”, “60”, “90”, as shown in FIGS. 42 (B), (C), (D), each rotation angle “ Each coordinate of the “variable region coordinates” corresponding to the fourth opening 87 corresponding to “30 degrees”, “60 degrees”, and “90 degrees” and each third of the variation symbol from the rotation center of the fourth opening 87. The “reach distance” “L2” representing the distance to the position of the scroll variation 177B, 177C, 177D and the “scroll direction” representing the scroll direction of the variation symbol are read from the RAM 263. From these data, the starting point coordinates corresponding to the fourth opening 87 of each of the third scroll fluctuations 177B, 177C, 177D in the case of each rotation angle “30 degrees”, “60 degrees”, “90 degrees” The end point coordinates are calculated and stored in the RAM 263.

Subsequently, in S76, the CPU 261 reads the start point / end point coordinates of the third scroll variation from the RAM 263 from the RAM 263, and variably displays the variation symbol on the third scroll variation. Accordingly, the display area overlapping the fourth opening 87 at each rotation angle “0 degree”, “30 degree”, “60 degree”, and “90 degree” of the liquid crystal display 52 displays the variation in the reach state. It becomes each fluctuation area.
For example, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “0”, as shown in FIG. 42A, the CPU 261 variably displays the variation symbol on the third scroll variation 177A. When the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “30”, as shown in FIG. 42B, the CPU 261 variably displays the variation symbol on the third scroll variation 177B. When the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “60”, as shown in FIG. 42C, the CPU 261 variably displays the variation symbol on the third scroll variation 177C. Further, when the angle display variable M read from the RAM 263 is “90”, as shown in FIG. 42D, the CPU 261 displays the variable symbol on the third scroll variation 177D (scroll display).

In S77, the CPU 261 reads a display pattern from the RAM 263, reads a time chart corresponding to the display pattern from the rotation display time chart storage area 262B, and stores it in the RAM 263. Further, the CPU 261 reads the fluctuation display time of the rotation angle “M degrees” (M is the value of the angle display variable M) from this time chart, and waits for the fluctuation display time to elapse (S77: NO).
For example, in the case of the display pattern A2, the CPU 261 reads the time chart 155B from the rotation display time chart storage area 262B and stores it in the RAM 263. Then, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and when the angle display variable M is “0”, the start time 0 seconds and the end time T31 seconds of “0 degree reach display” are obtained from the time chart 155B. The scrolling display is continued until reading, time 0 seconds, that is, from the start of display until time T31 seconds.
Further, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and when the angle display variable M is “30”, the start time T32 seconds and the end time T33 seconds of the “30 degree reach display” are obtained from the time chart 155B. Reading, display is started from time T32 seconds, and the scroll display is continued until time T33 seconds.

Reading, display is started from time T34 seconds, and the scroll display is continued until time T35 seconds.
Further, the CPU 261 reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, and when the angle display variable M is “90”, the start time T36 seconds and the end time T37 seconds of the “90 degree reach display” are obtained from the time chart 155B. Reading, display is started from time T36 seconds, and the scroll display is continued until time T37 seconds.

Subsequently, when the fluctuation display time of the “M degree reach display” of the rotation angle “M degree” (M is the value of the angle display variable M) has elapsed (S77: YES), the CPU 261 in S78. Reads the angle display variable M from the RAM 263, adds “30” to the angle display variable M, and stores it again in the RAM 263.
In S79, the CPU 261 executes a determination process for determining whether or not a change confirmation instruction from the CPU 281 is input. If the change determination instruction is not input (S79: NO), the process again in S73. The subsequent processing is executed.
On the other hand, if a change confirmation instruction is input from the CPU 281 (S79: YES), in S80, the CPU 261 finishes the change of each change symbol, ends the sub-process, and returns to the main flowchart.

Here, the fourth opening 87 functions as an opening. The liquid crystal display (LCD) 52 functions as a video display device. Moreover, the rotation decoration member 83 and the rotation cover member 84 constitute a rotation decoration member. The rotation motor 125, the pinion gear 126, the idle gears 127 and 128, and the rotation gear unit 129 constitute a rotation unit. Photosensor SW1 and photosensor SW2 constitute detection means. The CPU 281, ROM 282, and RAM 283 constitute a rotation control unit and a sub control unit.

The rotation display time chart storage area 262B functions as a rotation display pattern storage unit.

  Therefore, in the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the fourth opening 87 formed in the central portion of the rotary decoration member 83 is disposed so as to face the second opening 69 with substantially the same size. . Then, the CPU 281 selects a display pattern for normal variation display, outputs display pattern information corresponding to the selected display pattern to the CPU 261 of the effect display board 260, and time charts 151A to 154A corresponding to the display pattern.

Further, the CPU 261 reads a display pattern corresponding to the display pattern information input from the CPU 281 from the ROM 262, and reads each time chart 151B to 154B corresponding to the display pattern from the rotation display time chart storage area 262B. Then, according to the respective time charts 151B to 154B, the “variable region coordinates” and the “scroll” corresponding to the stopped rotational position of the rotational decoration member 83 are retrieved from the normal rotational variation coordinate table 161 stored in the rotational coordinate table storage area 262A.

For this reason, even if the second opening 69 protrudes beyond the fourth opening 87 due to the rotation of the rotating decorative member 83, it is possible to reliably display each variable pattern on the display screen in the fourth opening 87. .

  Further, when there is a stopped symbol among the various symbols in the reach state, the CPU 281 selects a display pattern for reach variation display, and displays display pattern information corresponding to the selected display pattern on the effect display board 260. While outputting to CPU261, each time chart 155A-158A corresponding to this display pattern is read from rotation drive time chart storage area 282C, and rotation decoration member 83 is rotated according to each time chart 155A-158A. Further, the CPU 261 reads a display pattern corresponding to the display pattern information input from the CPU 281 from the ROM 262, and reads each time chart 155B to 158B corresponding to the display pattern from the rotation display time chart storage area 262B.
