DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of a pachinko gaming machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. A game unit 102 surrounded by a guide rail 101 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 of this embodiment.
A tulip 103, a winning hole 104, a prize chucker 105, and a specific ball winning area 120 that triggers the start of the slot game are arranged inside the pachinko balls that have not won any of the winning areas. An out hole 106 is provided. Below these, a pachinko ball purchased by the player is sequentially guided to the hitting position and a supply tray 150 for returning the prize balls, a receiving tray 160 for returning the surplus prize balls that cannot be returned to the supply tray 150, an effect. A speaker 171, for generating sound, and a ball striking device 180 are provided respectively. Further, a display area 110 and a variable winning device 130, which are one of the features of the present invention, are provided in the center of the game section 102.

First, the main purpose of the display area 110 is to play a slot game, which is an example of a variable display game, in association with a pachinko game, and as means for giving a special game profit corresponding to the game result. The opening mode of the variable winning device 130 is determined. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the display area 110 includes a 4-digit 7-segment electrically variable display device 111a, b, c, d for displaying a plurality of game identification information and a variable winning device 13.
It is provided with a time display section 215 in which the lighting position moves every 3 seconds after the opening time of 0 has elapsed, a game right number display section 128 as a game right number display means for storing and displaying the number of game rights, and the like. The electric variable display device 111 starts to operate due to the winning in the specific ball winning area 120, and the display is updated. And the player is the stop switch 1
The update is stopped at the timing when 41 is pressed, and the slot game ends. Then, the opening mode of the variable winning a prize device 130 is determined corresponding to the display mode of the electrically variable display device 111 at the end of the slot game.

In the present embodiment, as a result of the slot game by the electrically variable display device 111, the four-digit display is all [7], the jackpot, the lower three-digit number is [7], or the four-digit number. It is assumed that there are three kinds of modes, ie, a medium hit and a deviator other than the above, which are available except for [7]. In the case of a big hit, the long-time variable winning device 130 is opened relatively, and in the case of a medium hit, it is relatively long. Short-term variable winning device 13
When 0 is opened, the variable winning device 130 is instantaneously opened when the number is 0. Thus, in this embodiment, each specific ball winning area 1
Since the winning of 20 wins the start of the slot game, a specific arrangement position is not shown, but a specific ball detector for detecting an internal winning is provided in each specific ball winning area 120. Need to be done. The specific sphere detector is composed of, for example, a micro switch or the like, but may have any structure as long as it can surely detect winning in each specific sphere winning area 120.

In this embodiment, the variable winning device 130 is internally divided into a plurality of winning regions, and a part of the winning regions is defined as a special ball winning region 402. And the change prize device 1 by the shift to the special game
If 30 is open for a long time and a prize is won in the special ball winning area 402, the variable winning device 130 repeats the long-time opening after the predetermined long-time opening is completed.

The details of the variable winning device 130 will be described later. In summary, when the variable winning device 130 is opened, it is in the first state which is advantageous to the player, so that the internal winning rate is improved and the player is closed. Thus, the winning ball device is configured so as to be in a second state, which is disadvantageous to the player, and the winning rate to the inside is lowered. Therefore, once a special game state, which is a so-called jackpot, occurs as a result of the slot game, a very large amount of pachinko balls may intensively win the variable winning device 130 for a short time as a special game profit. The number of winning balls during this special game state is difficult to grasp due to various variable factors. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the end of this special game is controlled by taking into consideration the number of winning balls to the variable winning device, which makes it easier for the game store to manage the table and many players. It is possible to provide fair and appropriate services to

Incidentally, FIG. 3 and FIG.
Here is an example: FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the variable winning device 130,
The variable winning device 130 shown in the figure is divided into three winning areas, the central portion of which is the special ball winning area 402 described above, and both sides of which are the general winning areas 105.
It is defined as a and b, and these winning areas penetrate the game board surface and communicate with the winning ball gathering gutter. Although omitted in FIG. 3 to show the internal structure,
The special ball winning area 402 and the general winning areas 105a and 105b
Is covered with a door that is opened and closed by a driving means such as a solenoid, and the opening and closing operation of the door opens and closes the variable winning device 130. Then, in this embodiment, as a result of the slot game, the special game is started,
If a predetermined number (for example, 10) of pachinko balls are won in the variable prize device 130 while the variable prize device 130 is in the open state for a long time, the variable prize device 130 is closed even if the provisional time has not passed. In addition, if a pachinko ball wins in the special ball winning area 402 during each special game,
The variable winning device 130 is closed due to the passage of a set time or the winning of a predetermined number of pachinko balls, and then the opening is performed for a long time again. Since the winning is one of the conditions for controlling the variable winning device 130 itself, a sensor for detecting the winning of the special ball winning area 402 and the winning of the variable winning device 130 is required.

By the way, since the winning of the variable winning device 130 is one of the control conditions of the variable winning device 130 itself as described above, it has a great influence on the profit of the player and the detection accuracy of the sensor is higher. On the other hand, since the variable winning device 130 is usually provided below the game board surface, it is easily affected by a temporary clogging. Therefore, in this embodiment, the arrangement of the above-mentioned sensor is devised as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 401 denotes a special ball detector composed of a micro switch for detecting a winning in the special ball winning area 402, and 405 and 406 denote a general winning area 105a and b in the variable winning device 130.

And here, the special point is that the special sphere detector 4
01 and winning ball detectors 405 and 406 are special ball winning area 4
No. 02 or general prize area 105a / b is provided immediately after the ball exit, and is not influenced by the pachinko balls accumulated in the prize ball collecting gutter. The special sphere detector 401
In addition to the microswitch, the prize detectors 405 and 406 are also composed of, for example, a photoelectric sensor or the like whose optical path is blocked by passage of a pachinko ball. However, as long as the passage of the pachinko ball can be reliably detected, its structure It may be of any kind.

Various detection signals generated by the sensors such as the specific sphere detector 121, the special sphere detector 401, the winning sphere detectors 405 and 406 are added to a control system described later.

Therefore, the number of continuation counter 245 that counts the number of times the variable winning device 130 has been in the open mode for a long time and the variable winning device 130 The counter 252 which counts the number of winning balls into the game functions as a special game-related information fetching means for fetching special game-related information.

Next, the operation of this embodiment when a player plays a game using the pachinko gaming machine according to this embodiment will be described. First, the player supplies the purchased pachinko balls 15
Put in 0, and one of these pachinko balls will be sequentially guided to the hitting position. Next, the player operates the ball striking device 180 to hit a pachinko ball with an appropriate strength. The launched pachinko ball flows into the game unit 102 along the guide rails 102 and falls down the game unit 102. In this way, the game section 1
In the process of falling along 02, some of the pachinko balls enter any of the winning areas, and some of them are collected in the out hole 106 without winning. Since the variable winning device 130 is closed in the initial state, no pachinko ball wins.

When a pachinko ball wins any of the specific ball winning areas 120 in the course of continuing the game in this way, the specific ball detector 121 in the specific ball winning area 120 in which the pachinko ball has won detects the specific ball. Generate a signal. This specific sphere detection signal corresponds to the corresponding synchronous differentiating circuit 123a, b, c.
In addition, the synchronous differentiating circuits 123a, b, c pulse the specific sphere detection signal in synchronization with the pulse applied from the phase shift pulse generating circuit 122. Since the phases of the pulses applied from the phase shift pulse generation circuit 122 to the respective synchronous differentiating circuits 123a, 123b, 123c are all out of phase, even if there are winning balls in a plurality of specific ball winning regions 120 at the same time, these prizes are won. All the spheres are accepted by the shift register 126 described later as valid.

The pulse generated by the synchronous differentiating circuit 123a.b.c passes through the OR gate 124 and the AND gate 12
5 is added to this AND gate 12 in the initial state.
Since 5 is open, the pulse generated by the synchronous differentiating circuit due to the generation of the specific sphere detection signal passes through the AND gate 125 and is added to the shift register 126, which shifts the shift register 126 to the right. This shift register 126 has a 4-bit output, and when the output of the 4th bit becomes H level, the AND gate 125 is closed. Therefore, the shift register 126 can continuously receive up to four specific sphere detection signals. The output of each stage of the shift register 126 is amplified by the driver 129 and drives the game right number display section 128a, b, c, d, and informs the player how many times the right to play the slot game at present. The shift register is shifted to the right by the generation of the specific sphere detection signal, and is shifted to the left by the output of the synchronous differentiating circuit 127 each time the slot game is started, so that each game right number display section 128a, b, c, d is When it is lit, each slot game is played once, twice, and three times.
It means that you have the right to do this four times.

On the other hand, the output of each stage of the shift register 126 is applied to the flip-flop 131 via the OR gate 134. Therefore, if the shift register 126 is right-shifted by one stage or more by the specific sphere detection signal, the flip-flop 131 is shifted. The D input becomes H level. Therefore, the flip-flop 131 is set at the timing when a pulse is applied from the phase-shifting pulse generation circuit 122 via the AND gate 152, and the flip-flop 131 stores the generation of the specific sphere detection signal.

The rising edge of the Q output of the flip-flop 131 is flip-flops 133a.b.c.
flip-flop 133 which is added as a clock of d
Since the D inputs of a, b, c and d are pulled up by the power supply, the flip-flops 133a, b, c and d are set and the Q output thereof causes the AND gate 132a.
・ Open b ・ c ・ d all at once. This AND gate 132a
.Clock .phi.2 is added to the other input of b.c.d. The clock .phi.2 is AND gate 132a.b.c.
・ Passing d, the ring counter 113a ・ b shown in FIG.
· Ring counters 113a, b, c added to c, d
・ Update d all at once.

The count output of the ring counter 113a is directly applied to the decoder driver 112a, and the count output of the ring counters 113b.c.d is selected by the selectors 114b.c.
Although it is added to d, the selectors 114b, c, d select the A input side in the normal state, so that the count outputs of the ring counters 113a, b, c, d are all decoder drivers 112a, b, c, d. decoder driver 112a, b, c, d is added to the ring counter 11
The count output of 3a, b, c, d is decoded and displayed on the electrically variable display device 111a, b, c, d. Therefore, the numerical values displayed by the electrically variable display devices 111a, b, c, d are updated at high speed in synchronization with the clock φ2.

On the other hand, the Q output of the flip-flop 133d shown in FIG. 5 is connected to the sound effect generating circuit 2 shown in FIG.
16 and drives this. Therefore, the sound effect generation circuit 216 generates a sound effect signal indicating that the slot game is being performed, and this signal is amplified by the driver 217,
A sound effect indicating that the slot game is being performed is generated from the speaker 171. At this time, the flip-flop 13
The Q output of 1 (see FIG. 5) is applied to the synchronous differentiating circuit 127.
When the Q output of 1 becomes H level, the phase shift pulse generating circuit 1
Shift register 1 in synchronization with the pulse applied from 22
26 is shifted to the left, and along with this, the game right number display section 1
The number of slot game rights indicated by 28a, b, c, d is also reduced.

After the slot game is started in this manner, the player switches the stop switch 141 at an arbitrary timing.
When is pressed, the stop signal passes through the OR gate 143 and is applied to the clock terminal of the flip-flop 144. The Q output of the flip-flop 131 is added to the D input of the flip-flop 144. Since this signal is at the H level during the slot game, the flip-flop 144 is set and the phase shift pulse is generated. The reset state of the circuit 145 is released. The clock φ1 is applied to the phase shift pulse generation circuit 145 via the AND gate 146, and the phase shift pulse generation circuit 145 is released from the reset state so that the flip-flops 133a, b, c
The reset signal is sequentially added to d, and therefore the AND gates 132a, b, c, d are sequentially closed, and the ring counter 11
Since the count-up clock is not added to 3a, b, c, d (see FIG. 6), the electrically variable display device 11
The display of 1a, b, c, d also stops here. At this time, since the AND gate 146 is closed at the timing when the Q4 output of the phase shift pulse generating circuit 145 rises, no clock is applied to the phase shift pulse generating circuit 145, and therefore the phase shift pulse generating circuit 145 is reset. Up to Q
4 Keep the output activated.

Further, in this embodiment, a timer counter 142 is provided for ending the slot game when the player forgets to press the stop switch 141. That is, the timer counter 142 is released from the reset state when the Q output of the flip-flop 131 rises at the start of the slot game, and counts the clock φ2. If the player does not press the stop switch 141 after a predetermined time (for example, 4 seconds) has passed, the timer counter 142
Carry-over signal is applied to the flip-flop 144 via the OR gate 143, and the flip-flop 144 operates in the same manner as described above. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even if the provisional player forgets to press the stop switch 141, the slot game will automatically end 4 seconds after the start of the slot game.

When the slot game is completed in this way, a signal for resetting the flip-flop 133d is applied to the determination circuit 201 (see FIG. 7) via the connection point E to activate the determination circuit 201. The determination circuit 201 is basically configured by AND logic, and determines the result of the slot game when it becomes active. The determination circuit 201 includes a ring counter 113a shown in FIG.
The count outputs of b, c, and d are added, and any one of the three types of outputs of a, b, and c is activated as a result of the determination of the logical state thereof.

The specific criteria for the judgment are as described above. That is, (1). When the numerical outputs of the 4-digit ring counters 113a, b, c, d all indicate [7], a signal a is generated as a big hit and a special game is started,
(2). When the numerical output of the 4-digit ring counters 113a, b, c, d is complete except for [7], or the ring counters 113a, b, excluding the ring counter 113d
When only the output of c becomes [7], the signal b is generated as a medium hit, and (3). Above (1). In the cases other than (2), the signal c is generated as a deviation. Therefore, first, the operation will be described in the case of the above (3), and then the operation will be described in the case of the above (1). In the case of (2), the operation is the same as the case of (1) except that the opening time of the variable winning device 130 is 8 seconds, and thus the duplicated description will be omitted.

First, the output c of the determination circuit 201 is given to the driver 211 via the OR gate 209, and the driver 211 amplifies the output to drive the solenoid 212, so that the variable winning apparatus 130 is opened. On the other hand, since the output c of the determination circuit 201 is applied to the sound effect generation circuit 216, a sound effect indicating that the result of the slot game is out of order is generated from the speaker 171.

Further, the output at the point c of the judgment circuit 201 is also applied to the AND gate 204 to open the AND gate 204. On the other hand, when the output of the OR gate 209 rises, the timer counter 202 is released from the reset state,
The timer counter 202 counts the clock φ2.
The output of the timer counter 202 when 0.4 seconds has elapsed is the AND gate 204, the OR gate 210, and the connection point K.
-It is applied to the clock input terminal of the flip-flop 148 via the OR gate 150 (FIG. 5) and sets it, and further resets the flip-flop 144 and the flip-flop 131 via the OR gate 149.

First, when the flip-flop 144 is reset, the phase shift pulse generating circuit 145 is reset, and the Q4 output is dropped to the L level. And this Q4
Since the output is applied to the decision circuit 201 (FIG. 7) via the connection point E to activate it, this signal becomes L
When the level is reached, the determination circuit 201 lowers the output c, and the solenoid 212 closes the variable winning device 130.
Further, at this time, the output of the OR gate 209 falls, so that the timer counter 202 is reset and
The sound effect generation circuit 216 also stops generating sound effects.

Further, since the flip-flop 148 (FIG. 5) is set, the AND gate 152 is closed by the opposite phase output, and the clock is not transmitted to the flip-flop 131 for a predetermined time. Therefore, even if two or more specific ball detection signals are generated, the next slot game is not immediately executed, but the next slot game is executed after the flip-flop 148 is reset by the timer counter 147. That is, the timer counter 147 is released from the reset state by setting the flip-flop 148 and counts the clock φ2. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), the flip-flop 148 is reset by the output of the timer counter 147 to open the AND gate 152, and the clock is transmitted to the flip-flop 131 from the phase shift pulse generation circuit 122. When the register 126 stores two or more specific sphere detection signals, the flip-flop 131 is set again and the above operation is repeated again.

Next, the case of the above (1), that is, the case where the combination mode of the game identification information becomes [7,7,7,7] and the slot game is finished will be described. As a combination mode of the display contents having a certain specific game identification information [7.7.
7.7], the operation when the slot game is finished is summarized as follows: (a). Basically, the timer counter 20
By the action of 2, the variable winning device 130 shifts to a special game in which it is opened for 30 seconds, (b). If, for example, 10 pachinko balls are won in the variable winning device 130 during the 30-second opening period, the long-time opening related to this special game is completed even if the 30-second period does not elapse. And (c).
Also, if a pachinko ball wins the special ball winning area 402 during the above-mentioned 30 seconds or up to 10 winnings, the long-time opening related to this special game is continuously repeated up to 10 times, for example (d). Further, when the game is in the open state for a long time related to this special game, the display contents of the display area 110 are switched by the special game display control means, and the winning state or the like is further used as specific game identification information in this embodiment. The player is informed of the display content [7] at the time when the nuclear reactor game is over. These will be redundant if they are explained at once, so each content will be explained separately below.

First, at the end of the slot game, the Q4 output of the phase shift pulse generation circuit 145 is logic 1, and the determination circuit 201 is active. If the result of the slot game is [7.7.7.7], the decision circuit 201 sets the signal a to logic 1. Since the other input of the AND gate 203 is logic 1 at this time, the signal a passes through the AND gate 203, operates the solenoid 212 to open the variable winning device 130, and resets the timer counter 202. To release. Further, the output a of the determination circuit 201 is applied to the sound effect generation circuit 216, and the speaker 171 generates a sound effect indicating the transition to the special game state. After 30 seconds have passed since the reset state was released, the timer counter 202 turns on the AND gate 206, and the pulse passing through the AND gate 206 is applied to the AND gate 242 via the connection point X or the OR gate 2461 in FIG. .

Although this point will be described in detail later, if there is no pachinko ball winning in the special ball winning area 402 during the period of 30 seconds, the flip-flop 241 is in the reset state, and the AND gate 242 is in the ON state. become. The output of the AND gate 242 is applied to the clock input terminal of the flip-flop 148 via the connection point J and the OR gate 150 in FIG. 5 to set the same, and further, via the OR gate 149, the flip-flop 1
44 and the flip-flop 131 are reset. Then, thereafter, the phase shift pulse generation circuit 145 is reset in the same manner as described above, so that the determination circuit 201 is released from the active state and stops the signal a. Therefore, the drive current is not applied to the solenoid 21 either, and the variable winning device 1
30 finishes opening for 30 seconds. Further, since the drive signal is not added to the sound effect generation circuit 216, the sound effect indicating the special game state is also stopped.

In addition, while the variable winning device 130 is open for 30 seconds in this way, the variable winning device 1 has a certain probability.
There is a pachinko ball prize in 30. Since this probability varies depending on various factors, it is difficult to provide a fair service to all players. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 130 reaches a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment), the variable winning device 130 is closed even during a period of 30 seconds. Specifically, the winning ball counter 252 (see FIG. 8) is released from the reset state due to the occurrence of the special game state. When a pachinko ball wins the variable winning device 130, one of the special ball detector 401 and the winning ball detectors 405 and 406 generates a detection signal.
This detection signal corresponds to the corresponding synchronous differentiating circuit 247/24.
It is added to 8 ・ 249, but this synchronous differentiating circuit 247 ・
Pulses having different phases are applied to the 248 and 249 from the phase shift pulse generating circuit 251, and the synchronous differentiating circuits 247, 248 and 249 output the pulses in synchronization with this pulse. As described above, in this embodiment, since the detection signals are received by the pulses having different phases, even if the detection signals are generated at the same time, the detection omission does not occur. And
The pulses generated by the synchronous differentiating circuits 247, 248 and 249 are added to the winning ball counter 252 via the OR gate 250 to count up the winning ball counter 252. The most significant digit output of the winning ball counter 252 is added to the above-mentioned OR gate 2461. Therefore, for example, there are 10 winning balls in the variable winning device 130, and when the winning ball counter 252 carries, the carryover signal is It is added to the AND gate 242 via the OR gates 2461 and 246.

As described above, when the special ball detection signal is not generated (that is, the general winning area 10 in the variable winning device 130).
The flip-flop 241 is in the reset state when the pachinko ball wins only 5a and 5b), and therefore the AND gate 242 is turned on. And this AND gate 2
The output of 42 is added to the clock input terminal of the flip-flop 148 via the OR gate 150 of FIG. 5 and set by the OR gate 150, and further, the output of 42 is further fed via the OR gate 149 to the flip-flop 144 and the flip-flop 13
Reset 1 Then, thereafter, the phase shift pulse generation circuit 145 is reset in the same manner as described above, so that the determination circuit 201 is released from the active state and stops the signal a. Therefore, the drive current is not applied to the solenoid 212, and the variable winning device 130 ends the opening even if the period of 30 seconds has not elapsed. In addition, the sound effect generation circuit 21
Since the drive signal is not added to 6 either, the sound effect indicating the special game state is also stopped. In addition, as described above, the variable winning device 130 is for 30 seconds, or the winning ball to the inside is 1
With a certain probability, the pachinko balls will win the special ball winning area 402 in the state of being opened until there are 0 balls. When a pachinko ball is won in the special ball winning area 402, as described below, it is possible to open a maximum of 10 in the special game state for the above-mentioned 30 seconds or until there are 10 winning balls inside.
Repeat up to times.

The result of the slot game is [7.7.7.
7], the output of the AND gate 203 becomes H level, and this level is applied to one control input (positive logic control input) of the AND gate 240 via the connection point W. Further, the most significant digit signal of the continuation number counter 245 is added to the other control input (negative logic control input) of the AND gate 240, but the output of the continuation number counter 245 is L level at this time. , And gate 2
40 is in a state where it can pass the special sphere detection signal.
When a pachinko ball wins the special ball winning area 402 and the special ball detector 401 generates a special ball detection signal, this detection signal is added to the clock input of the flip-flop 241 via the AND gate 240. Since the D input of the flip-flop 241 is always pulled up, the flip-flop 241 is set. Therefore, the reverse phase output becomes L level, and the AND gate 242 is closed.

As described above, when 30 seconds elapses after the variable prize winning device 130 is opened, or when 10 pachinko balls are won in the variable prize winning device 130, the AND gate 2461 and the OR gate 246 are used. Gate 2
A pulse is applied to the clock terminals of 42 and the flip-flop 243, but since the AND gate 242 is closed at this time, this pulse does not pass through the AND gate 242. Therefore, the phase shift pulse generation circuit 145 of FIG. 5 is not reset, and the determination circuit 201 continues to output the signal a. On the other hand, since the Q output of the flip-flop 241 set at this time is added to the D input terminal of the flip-flop 243, the flip-flop 243
Is set when a clock is applied, and its anti-phase output becomes H level, so that the AND gate 203 (FIG. 7) is temporarily closed and the signal a of the determination circuit 201 is temporarily cut off. Therefore, the drive current of the solenoid 212 is temporarily cut off, and the variable winning device 130 is also temporarily closed.

Further, since the flip-flop 243 is set, the timer counter 244 is also released from the reset state and counts the clock φ2. Then, when the set time (for example, 2 seconds) has elapsed, the timer counter 244 resets the flip-flop 243. Therefore, the output of the AND gate 203 rises again, and the variable winning device 130 opens again for 30 seconds or for a predetermined period until 10 pachinko balls are won in the variable winning device 130. And the AND gate 240 during the second 30 seconds or during the opening time until 10 pachinko balls are won in the variable winning device 130.
Since the control input terminal of is a logic 1, the flip-flop 241 is ready to receive the special ball detection signal. Therefore, if a pachinko ball wins the special ball winning area 402 during this period, the above operation is repeated and the variable winning is achieved. Device 130
Repeats opening for a predetermined period. By the way, the variable winning device 1
AND gate 20 every time 30 repeats opening for a predetermined period
Although the output of 3 rises, this rising edge is applied to the clock terminal of the continuation counter 245 via the connection point W and counts up. When the opening for a predetermined period is repeated 10 times in succession, the continuation number counter 245 carries over to close the AND gate 240. Therefore, the special sphere detection signal is not accepted by the flip-flop 241 even if the special sphere winning area 402 is won during this period.

Therefore, the flip-flop 241, the AND gate 242, and the flip-flop 243 are in the same state as the case where the special ball winning area 402 is not won. Therefore, 3 after the variable winning device 130 is opened
When the period of 0 seconds elapses or when 10 pachinko balls are won in the variable winning device 130, the entire device is initialized in the same manner as the case where the special ball winning area 402 is not won.

By the way, as described above, in the present embodiment, the opening time of the variable winning device 130 is not constant when the result of the slot game is a big hit and the special game is started.
Further, even if the pachinko ball wins in the special ball winning area 402 while the variable winning device 130 is open for a maximum of 30 seconds, the variable winning device 130 does not always repeat opening for a maximum of 30 seconds again. Therefore, a trouble may occur with the player, and in the present embodiment, in order to prevent this trouble, a specific game identification information and a change in the game state are included in the electrically variable display device as special game-related information. In the display area 110, the information can be notified to the player or the like. Specific notification contents include, for example, (1) opening time of the variable winning device 130 and (2)
Specific game identification information is assumed as the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 130 within the opening time of 30 seconds at the maximum, (3) the number of times of repeating the opening for 30 seconds at the maximum, and others.

First, when the decision circuit 201 generates the signal a, the shift register 213 is released from the reset state and counts the clock φ2. This shift register 213
The output is shifted by 1 bit every 3 seconds, and the driver 214 amplifies the output and adds it to the time display unit 215. The time display unit 215 is composed of a light emitting diode or the like, and the surface of the time display unit 215 is shown in FIG.
Numerical values of 1 to 10 are displayed as shown in. Therefore, the lighting position of the time display unit 215 moves every 3 seconds after the special game, and the variable winning device 13
The number of seconds 0 is opened to the player is shown as one mode of the special game related information.

Also, the determination circuit 20 when shifting to the special game
The signal a generated by 1 is applied to the select terminals A / B of the data selectors 114b, c, d via the point P.
As a result, the data selectors 114b, c, d select the B side input and add it to the decoder drivers 112b, c, d.
First, the output of the winning ball counter 252 shown in FIG. 8 is added to the B side input of the data selectors 114b and c via the connection point N, and this is the decoder driver 112.
Electrically variable display device 11 decoded and amplified by bc
1b · c. Therefore, when the big hit state occurs, the variable winning device 130 during the big hit state.
Variable display device 111b with the number of pachinko balls won
Displayed in c as one mode of special game related information, even if the variable winning device 130 is closed before the period of 30 seconds elapses, the player can understand the reason why the variable winning device 130 is closed. Therefore, troubles with the player can be prevented.

Further, the B-side input of the data selector 114d is connected to the continuation number counter 2 shown in FIG.
The count output of 45 is added, which is decoded and amplified by the decoder driver 112d and added to the electrically variable display device 111d. Therefore, when the big hit state occurs, the number of times the big hit state continues due to winning in the special ball winning area 402 during that period is electrically variable display device 111d.
Is displayed as one mode of special game related information to inform the player how many times the jackpot has been continued, and when the tenth jackpot is continued, the special ball winning area 402 is awarded a pachinko ball. In this case, even if the jackpot continuation state is discontinued, the player can understand the reason, so that trouble with the player can be prevented. On the other hand, the output of the ring counter 113a is directly added to the decoder driver 112a, and at this time, the count value of the ring counter 113a is stopped at the value at which the condition for the transition to the special game is achieved, so that it is electrically variable. Display device 11
The numerical value [7] is directly displayed on 1a as the specific game identification information for which the condition for the transition to the special game has been achieved.

In the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment, a new gaming state is derived in response to the occurrence of the gaming state causing it, and a means for notifying the player of the change in the gaming state is provided. The game is played smoothly only on the premise of the trust relationship between the game store and the game store. Therefore, if some kind of intentional work is added to the sensor that detects the occurrence of the game state caused by the game store for the purpose of improving the player's shooting spirit and setting the table easily, The relationship of trust between them will be seriously damaged, and the premise of establishing a pachinko game will be reversed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, if the sensor for detecting the occurrence of the game state that causes the game state to be derived by the game shop is intentionally modified, the normal game cannot be performed. The relationship of trust between the game store and the player can be secured.

The type and location of the sensor that detects the occurrence of the gaming state that causes this will differ depending on the type of pachinko gaming machine, but when considered on the premise of the present embodiment, the specification that causes the start of the slot game is identified. Sphere detector 121, stop switch 141 that causes the slot game to stop
The prize winning ball detectors 405 and 406 that cause the variable winning device 130 to finish opening for a long time, cause the variable winning device 130 to finish opening for a long time, and the variable winning device 130 repeats opening for a long time. The special sphere detector 401 or the like which is the cause may be considered. Therefore, in the illustrated embodiment, the stop switch 141, the winning ball detector 405.
An example is shown in which the normal game cannot be continued when the 06 and special ball detector 401 is modified.

Generally, these sensors are routed from their respective locations to the control board by lead wires, and the lead wires and the control board are connected by connectors. And since it is difficult for a general amusement store to make work inside the control board,
When performing the above-mentioned misconduct, it is usually (1). Destruction of sensor contacts, (2). Lead wire cutting, (3). It is expected that the connector will be removed.
A characteristic that occurs in common when any of the above work is performed is that the connector of the control board becomes an open loop. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to detect any of the above cases, the winning ball detectors 405 and 406, the stop switch 141, and other sensors are normally closed loop and open-loop when a signal is generated. Switch open detector 261,
262, 263, and 264 judge that some work has been done to the sensor when the sensor in charge becomes an open loop for a predetermined time or longer.

Explaining the specific operation, for example, in order for the game store to further improve the player's motivation, the lead of the winning ball detectors 405 and 406 is pulled out from the connector of the control board, and the variable winning device 130 is operated. It is assumed that the variable winning device 130 is opened until a predetermined time elapses, regardless of how many winning balls are inside. If such work is done, the connector assigned to the sensor on the control board will always be in an open loop. However, since the place becomes an open loop only when the winning ball passes, it is usually impossible for the open loop to continue for several seconds or longer. Therefore, the switch open detector 261.2
When the open loop continues for a predetermined time or longer, 62 raises the output of the abnormality detection signal to logic 1, and this abnormality detection signal is applied to the OR gate 149 of FIG. 5 via the OR gate 265 and the connection point I. Therefore, OR gate 149
Output becomes logic 1, and flip-flops 131 and 14
4 and reset the connection point H and OR gate 2
The flip-flops 241 and 243 are reset via 46.

First, when the flip-flop 131 is reset, the acceptance of the specific sphere detection signal is rejected, when the flip-flop 144 is reset, the acceptance of the stop signal is rejected, and when the flip-flops 241 and 243 are reset, it is special. The acceptance of the ball detection signal is rejected, and the control circuit shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 cannot execute all the operations. The output of the OR gate 265 is applied to the AND gate 208 shown in FIG. 7 via the connection point Y. Therefore, the clock φ2 passes through the AND gate 208, is amplified by the driver, and is displayed on the warning display means 222. Therefore, the player can know that the pachinko gaming machine has been modified in some way. In addition, at this time, the alarm display means 222 is accompanied by a warning sound from a buzzer or the like to notify that some kind of work is being performed,
It may be transmitted to the control room.

As described above, according to the present invention,
The number of rights to start a variable display game using the electrically variable display device, special game-related information generated in association with a special game started as a result of the variable display game, and the like. Since the information can be visually displayed on or near the player, it is possible to efficiently notify the player of the information most desired by the player without moving the line of sight greatly, and the player can also provide such information. It is possible to play a game while sequentially recognizing, and it is possible to effectively prevent useless troubles between the player and the game store due to the player's erroneous expression or lack of recognition.
