However, the conventional pachinko machines of this type are basically similar in structure, although there are differences in design, and are currently tired of players. It is. For example, the probability of a specific state being established in the special symbol display device, that is, the probability of a “big hit” occurring is kept constant during the game and does not change. Therefore, it is extremely rare that “big hits” occur continuously, and the player has little chance or expectation to obtain a great profit in a short time. Therefore,
Although it is conceivable to increase the probability that a “big hit” will occur, simply changing the probability will not allow the profit balance between the player and the gaming store to be achieved.

Next, a brief description will be given of a method of assembling the electric tulip 7 with a display, comprising the above-described members. For example, first, the ordinary electric solenoid 24 is attached to the housing 21, the movable plate 31 constituting the drive mechanism is fixed to the tip of the plunger 24b, and the crank lever 32 is pivotally mounted. Also, the front decoration 23 to which the symbol display 6a is attached.
The housing 21 and the front decoration 23 are fixed with screws in a state where the blade member 22 is mounted on the shaft and the operating pin 22b of the blade member 22 is loosely fitted in the insertion groove 32d of the crank lever 32.

The symbol display 6 is provided on the front of the front decoration 23.
A decorative sticker or the like is stuck on the shaft member 2 of the blade member 22 so that the symbol indicated by a can be seen by the player, leaving a window portion.
It is advisable to blindfold the ninth class. The order of assembly is not limited to the above description, and can be changed as appropriate.

Next, the operation of the electric tulip 7 with a display having the above structure will be briefly described. In a normal state where the ordinary electric solenoid 24 as a driving source is demagnetized, the plunger 24b returns the return spring 24a. Since the crank lever 32 is projected rearward by the urging, the crank lever 32 with the bent portion pivoted upward is turned upward, and the insertion groove 32 at the distal end is rotated.
The blade member 2 connected by the operating pin 22b loosely fitted to d
2 is turned inward, and the blade member 22 is closed. On the other hand, when the ordinary electric solenoid 24 is excited,
Since the plunger 24b is sucked, the crank lever 3
2 is turned downward, and the blade member 22 is turned outward to convert the ball into a state in which the hit ball can be easily received. In this state, the hit ball received by the blade member 22 is guided by the ball guide 23f, flows into the ball passage portion 21d in the housing 21, rolls on the ball receiving bottom 21c, and falls into the detection port 25a of the detection switch 25. Then, it is discharged after acting on the detection switch 25. In the illustrated embodiment, the structure is such that a hit ball cannot flow in a state where the ordinary electric solenoid 24 is demagnetized. For example, the shape of the blade member 22 is changed, or the rotation range of the crank lever 32 is changed. By making a change, it is also possible to configure so that a hit ball can be flowed in a demagnetized state, although the possibility is low.

On the other hand, in the symbol display 6a, the symbol is appropriately displayed visually based on the display signal generated by the control device. In addition, it is easy to associate the display symbol with the drive of the ordinary electric solenoid 24 described above.

According to the electric tulip 7 with an indicator configured as described above, the electric tulip as the ordinary electric accessory 5 and the symbol display 6a as the ordinary symbol display device 6 are separately provided on the game board 1. No need to provide. Moreover,
Since the detection switch 25 as a starting means is also built in, there is no need to provide a ball guide path and make the detection switch 25 face. Accordingly, the layout of the game board 1 can be simplified, and a free-flowing path of the ball can be formed by the obstacle nails implanted on the board surface, so that the pachinko machine 2 can be provided with great interest. Furthermore, the electric tulip 7 with a display itself can be easily assembled and made compact. Therefore, handling is simple, assembling to the game board 1 is also facilitated, and errors at the time of assembling can be eliminated.

Next, a description will be given of a game in the pachinko machine 2 as described above. When a hit ball fired by a player wins a natural winning prize opening 4c or a large winning prize opening, a predetermined number, for example, 15
It is set up so that, when a prize ball is paid out and a normal electric accessory 5 is won, for example, seven prize balls are paid out.

When the hit ball passes through the starting port gate 11 and the normal start switch is turned on, the normal symbol display device 6 starts to display the variation of the symbol. The normal symbol display device 6 has ten types of symbols on both the left and right sides. When the variation time reduction flag described later is not set, about 30 seconds or more, and when it is set, about 1.3 seconds or more, the ordinary symbol display device 6 displays the ordinary symbol left and the ordinary symbol right. Stop the fluctuation display in the order of. As a result, when the combination of the stopped symbols becomes a so-called "double-eye" like "77", the ordinary electric accessory 5 constituting the starting means is in the second state advantageous to the player for about 5 seconds. Convert to That is, the ordinary electric solenoid 24 of the ordinary electric accessory 5 is excited for 5 seconds to open the blade member 22. Therefore, in this state, the ball flowing into the electric tulip 7 with a display, which is the ordinary electric accessory 5, is a winning ball. The ordinary symbol display device 6
The details of the pattern variation and the combination mode will be described later.

Then, when the ball enters the ordinary electric accessory 5 constituting the starting means and the detection switch 25 of the electric tulip 7 with a display, which is a special start switch, is turned on,
The special symbol display device 3 starts the variable display of the symbol. There are 16 types of symbols on the special symbol display device 3, both from left to right, from numbers “0 to 9” and the alphabet “ACHLPU”. Then, when a fluctuation time reduction flag described later is not set, about 8 seconds, and when it is set, about 1.
After 3 seconds or more, the special symbol display device 3 stops the variable display in the order of the special symbol left, the special symbol right, and the special symbol. As a result, when the combination of the stopped symbols is the predetermined mode, the variable winning device 8 (large winning opening) changes to the second state advantageous to the player for 29.5 seconds. That is, the large winning opening solenoid is excited for 29.5 seconds, and the gate plate 9c is rotated to take the ball into the opening 9b. Then, the captured ball passes through the specific area and continues switch 1
When the switch 5 is turned on, the opening of the opening 9b is repeated up to 16 times including the first opening. In addition, opening of the big winning opening,
29. When the 10 count switch detects 10 balls.
The release is stopped even before the lapse of 5 seconds.

Up to four balls can be stored in the ordinary motor-operated accessory 5 serving as the above-mentioned special starting port. If there is, the variable display is started again after the variable display of the symbol is stopped or after the opening operation of the special winning opening is completed.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 5, the control means for controlling the game as described above is an electric control device centered on the MPU. The MPU is provided with an input / output interface in the block diagram of FIG. The following system processing is performed.

Next, the processing of the control means will be described with reference to FIGS.
This will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing shown in FIGS. 7 to 17 is interrupt processing started by an interrupt signal input to the MPU every 4 msec. This interrupt processing is performed so that the time from start to end does not exceed 4 msec. It is.

7 to 17, in step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 1, it is determined whether or not the power is turned on. In this case, since the power is turned on, the process proceeds to S2, where R
After the content of AM is cleared, the random number generation process is repeated in S89 until an interrupt signal is input. When the interrupt signal is input, the power is already turned on this time in S1, so the process proceeds to S3, and the state of the switch is checked. Then, when it is detected that a short circuit or disconnection has occurred in each switch, an error flag is set.
In the next S4, it is determined whether or not the error flag is set in the above-described S3 and S69 described later. If the error flag is set, the process proceeds to S5, and after the error processing is performed, the process proceeds to S21. move on. On the other hand, if the error flag is not set, the process proceeds to S6, where the special start winning and the normal start winning are detected, and the special start winning storing process is executed.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, first, at S6-1, it is determined whether or not the special start switch is turned on.
Proceeding to S2-3, after adding "1" to the starting memory,
To set the start winning flag. If the switch has not been turned on, the process proceeds to S6-4. In the next S6-4, it is determined whether or not the ordinary start switch is turned on. If not, the process proceeds to S6-13. On the other hand, if it is turned on, the process proceeds to S6-5, and it is determined whether any of the "normal symbol rotation mode", the "normal symbol stop mode", and the "normal symbol mode" is set. If is set, the process proceeds to S6-13. Thus, after the ordinary symbol starts rotating (ordinary symbol rotation mode), the ordinary symbol stops and the combination determination ends (ordinary symbol stop mode). Until the release of 5 is completed (normal combination mode), the detection of the normal start switch is invalidated, and the normal symbol does not start rotating.

On the other hand, if none of the above-mentioned modes has been set, the process proceeds to S6-6, where it is determined whether or not the fluctuation time reduction flag has been set. In S6-7, 30 seconds is set to the normal symbol automatic stop timer. On the other hand, when the fluctuation time reduction flag is set, S6-8
The normal symbol automatic stop timer is set to 1.3 seconds. Then, in the next S6-9, the ordinary symbol rotation mode is set, and in S6-10, the ordinary symbol stop flag is cleared. Thereafter, the process proceeds to S6-11, where the random number value for the normal symbol determination per symbol which is created and set in S89 is stored. Then, in S6-12, the left and right stop positions of the normal symbol corresponding to the stored random number value for normal symbol determination are set.

In the next step S6-13, it is determined whether or not the start memory is "0". If the start memory is "0", the process returns to the original processing. On the other hand, if the start memory is not “0”, the process proceeds to S6-14, and it is determined whether the start memory is “6” or more. If it is not "6" or more, the process proceeds to S6-20, sets the start mode, and returns to the original process. On the other hand, if the start memory is “6”,
In S6-3, it is determined whether or not the start winning flag has been set, and if it has been set, the process proceeds to S6-18. On the other hand, if it is not set, the process proceeds to S6-16, it is determined whether or not any of the modes relating to the special symbol game is set. If neither is set, the process proceeds to S6-17 to store the starting memory. After clearing, return to the original processing. On the other hand, if any mode is set, the process proceeds to S6-18, where "5" is set in the start memory, and thereafter, the start winning flag is cleared in S6-19, and in the next S6-20. Set the start mode and return to the original processing.

In S7, it is determined whether or not the special symbol rotation mode has been set.
Proceed to 15. On the other hand, if it is set, the process proceeds to S8, in which the special symbol stop timer (set in the mode of S43 described later) is subtracted, and in the next S9, the special symbol subtraction timer becomes "0". (Time up)
It is determined whether or not the value is “0”, and the process proceeds to S15. On the other hand, if it is "0", the process proceeds to S10, the special symbol stop mode is set, the special symbol rotation mode is cleared in the next S11, 0.5 seconds in the special symbol left stop timer in S12. In step S13, the special symbol left random number created and set in step S89 is stored, and in the next step S14, the stop position (symbol) of the special symbol left corresponding to the stored special symbol left random number is set.
Proceed to.

In S15, it is determined whether or not the ordinary symbol rotation mode has been set. If not, the flow proceeds to S21. On the other hand, if the ordinary symbol rotation mode is set, the process proceeds to S16, and it is determined whether any of the ordinary combination mode or the ordinary symbol stop mode is set, and if it is set, the process proceeds to S21. move on.
On the other hand, if it is not set, the process proceeds to S17, in which the normal symbol automatic stop timer set in S6-7 and S6-8 is subtracted.

Then, in the next S18, it is determined whether or not the normal symbol automatic stop timer has become "0" (time-up). If not, the flow proceeds to S21. On the other hand, if it is "0", the process proceeds to S19, the normal symbol stop mode is set, and in the next S20, the normal symbol left stop timer is set to 0.5 seconds.

In S21, a combination symbol count-up process, a symbol stop process, and a stop symbol determination process are executed. More specifically, first, in S21-1 the special symbol left offset address is loaded, and in the next S21-2, the special symbol left update check number is loaded with "11".
At -3, a special symbol left stop flag is loaded, and the process proceeds to S21-A.

The processing of S21-A will be described in detail.
In 21-A-1, the special symbol left update check number “11” loaded in S21-2 is set, and the next S21
In -A-2, it is determined whether or not a symbol stop flag (special symbol left stop flag) is set. If the flag is set, the process proceeds to S21-A-7. On the other hand, if the symbol stop flag (special symbol left stop flag) has not been set, the process proceeds to S21-A-3, where "1" is added to the symbol offset counter, and the process proceeds to S21-A-4. It is determined whether or not the value of the symbol offset counter is smaller than the symbol update check number (in this case, smaller than "11", and if smaller, the process proceeds to S21-A-7. If not smaller ("11" or more) Proceeds to S21-A-5, clears the symbol offset counter ("0"), and proceeds to the next S2
In 1-A-6, "1" is added to the data of the currently displayed symbol.
, And the process proceeds to S21-A-7, where S21-A
At -7, the symbol data is updated and set.

In the next step S21-A-8, it is determined whether or not the ordinary combination mode is set. If the ordinary combination mode is set, the flow advances to step S21-A-20. On the other hand, if the ordinary combination mode is not set, the process goes to S21-A-9.
Then, it is determined whether or not the ordinary symbol stop mode is set. If the ordinary symbol stop mode is set, the process proceeds to S21-A-10, and if not, the process proceeds to S21-A-20. . In S21-A-10, it is determined whether or not the ordinary symbol offset address has been loaded. If the ordinary symbol offset address has not been loaded, the process proceeds to S21-A-20. If the ordinary symbol offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S21-A. Proceed to -11. In this case, since the normal symbol offset address has not been loaded, S21
The process proceeds to -A-20, and S21-A-11 and below will be described later.

In S21-A-20, it is determined whether any of the major role mode and the role end mode is set, and
If any is set, the process proceeds to S21-4.
On the other hand, when neither the large combination mode nor the combination end mode is set, the process proceeds to S21-A-21, and it is determined whether or not the special symbol stop mode is set. If the special symbol stop mode has not been set, the process proceeds to S21-4, and if it has been set, it is determined in S21-A-22 whether a special symbol offset address has been loaded. If the special symbol offset address has not been loaded, the process proceeds to S21-4. In this case, since the special symbol left offset address has been loaded, the process proceeds to S21-A-23. S21-A-2
At 3, it is determined whether or not the special symbol left center right stop flag is set, and if it is set, the process proceeds to S21-A-

If it has been turned on, the large role continuation mode is set in S57, and then the process proceeds to S58. In S58, it is determined whether or not the ball whose continuation switch 15 has been turned on has passed the 10-count switch. If it has not passed, the process proceeds to S69, and if it has passed, the process proceeds to S59.

In S59, it is determined whether or not the value of the 10 count has become "10" or more.
The program proceeds to S61, in the case of "10" or more, clears the special winning opening timer set in S21-A-35 or S80 described later in S60 and proceeds to S61. In S61, it is determined whether or not the combination end mode is set. If it is set, the process proceeds to S71, and if not, the process proceeds to S62. In S62, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening timer has reached “0”.
If so, the process proceeds to S65, and if not, the process proceeds to S63. In S63, the special winning opening timer is decremented. In the next S64, it is determined whether or not the subtracted special opening timer becomes "0".
If it is not "0", the flow proceeds to S70, turns on the special winning opening solenoid, and proceeds to S71. On the other hand, if it is "0", the flow proceeds to S65, the special winning opening solenoid is turned off, and the winning combination end mode is set in the next S66, and the winning combination timer is set to 2 seconds in S67. Thereafter, in S68, it is determined whether or not the value of the 10 count is "0". If the value is "0", the flow proceeds to S69 to set an error flag. If it is not "0", the flow proceeds to S71.

At S71, it is determined whether or not the combination end mode has been set.

In S85, display processing of various display lamps (lamp, LED, etc.) according to each mode is performed, and in next S86, it is determined whether an error flag is set. If the error flag is set, S8
In step 7, an error display process is performed using an error detection display lamp, and the flow advances to step S88. In S88, processing of various sound effects according to each mode (including an error) is performed.

At S89, a process of creating a random number for determining a symbol per symbol and a process of creating a random number for each of the special symbols in the left, middle, and right sides is performed. First, in S89-1, the address of the normal random number per symbol is loaded, and in the next S89-2, the update check number "100" of the normal random number per symbol is loaded, and the process proceeds to S89-A.

In S89-A, the following processing is executed. S
At 89-A-1, "1" is added to the value of the ordinary random number per symbol set in the previous processing, and at S89-A-2, the added random number is added to S89.
It is determined whether or not the number of update checks loaded in “−2” is “100” or more. If it is equal to or more than "100", the process proceeds to S89-A-3 to clear the random number value ("0"), and in the next S89-A-4, "0" is set as a normal random number per symbol. , To S89-3. On the other hand, if it is not “100” or more, S8
The random number value subjected to the addition processing in 9-A-1 is set as a random number for determining a normal symbol per symbol, and the process proceeds to S89-3.

In S89-3, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number per symbol to be set set in S89-A-4 is "0". It returns to S89-1. On the other hand, if it is "0", the process proceeds to S89-4, where the special symbol right random number address is loaded, and in the next S89-5, "16" is loaded as the special symbol right random number update check number, and S89- Go to A. In S89-A, first, in S89-A-1, "1" is added to the value of the special symbol right random number set in the previous processing, and the added processing is performed in the next S89-A-2. It is determined whether or not the random number value is equal to or greater than the update check number “16” loaded in S89-5.
If it is "16" or more, the process proceeds to S89-A-3, where the random number value is cleared ("0"), and "0" is set as a special symbol right random number in the next S89-A-4. On the other hand, S8
If it is determined in 9-A-2 that the random number value is smaller than "16", the random number value is set as a special symbol right random number in S89-A-4.
, And the process proceeds to S89-6.

In S89-6, it is determined whether or not the value of the set special symbol right random number is "0". If it is not "0", the flow returns to S89-1; if it is "0", S89-7. Proceed to. In S89-7, the special symbol random number address is loaded. In the next S89-8, the special symbol random number update check number is loaded with "16", and the process proceeds to S89-A. Here, first, in S89-A-1, "1" is added to the value of the random number in the special symbol set in the previous processing, and in S89-A-2, the added random number value is added. Is determined to be not less than the special symbol random number update check number “16” loaded in S89-8.
If the value is equal to or more than "16", the process proceeds to S89-A-3, where the random number value is cleared ("0"), and the next S89-A-4
Sets "0" as a random number in the special symbol. On the other hand, S
If it is determined in 89-A-2 that the value is smaller than "16", the random number value is set as a special symbol random number in S89-A-4, and the process proceeds to S89-9.

In S89-9, it is determined whether or not the value of the random number in the special symbol that has been set is "0". If it is not "0", the process returns to S89-1, and if it is "0", S89-10. Proceed to. In S89-10, the special symbol left random number address is loaded, and in the next S89-11, the special symbol left random number update check number is loaded with "16", and the process proceeds to S89-A. In S89-A, first, in S89-A-1,

It is determined whether or not the number of update checks has reached “16” or more. If the number is equal to or greater than “16”, S89-
The random number value is cleared ("0") in A-3, and "0" is set as a special symbol left random number in next S89-A-4. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S89-A-2 that the value is smaller than "16", the random number value is set as a special symbol left random number in step S89-A-4.
Return to

Thereafter, as described above, the processing from S89-1 is repeated until the interrupt signal is input.

Further, details of the main part of the game described above will be described based on the processing of the control means.

As described above, the ordinary symbol display device 6
0 kinds of symbols, that is, "0", "1", "2",
"3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8",
"9" can be displayed on both left and right, and pachinko machine 2
After turning on the power, the normal symbol left moves (rotates) at a cycle of, for example, 44 msec which is an integral multiple of the interruption time (4 msec) for one symbol, and the normal symbol right moves at, for example, 52 m for one symbol.
It moves (rotates) in a cycle of seconds. Then, when the hit ball passes through the starting port gate 11 and the ordinary start switch is turned on, the ordinary symbol left stops after a predetermined time (for example, after 30 seconds or 1.3 seconds), and then the ordinary symbol right stops. When the combination of the symbols displayed by the ordinary symbol display device 6 is a hit, the ordinary electric accessory 5 is opened.

The determination of the hit of the ordinary symbol display device 6 is "0
The number is determined by a hit determination random number having 100 values ranging from "99" to "99". The addition process is repeated by "1" every time from power-on until reset by an interrupt signal. Are “0”, “11”, “2”
2 "," 33 "," 44 "," 55 "," 66 "," 7 "
7 "," 88 ", and" 99 "are set as hits, and other numerical values are set as out. Therefore, the probability of the normal symbol display device 6 being hit is 1/10. The symbol combination displayed on the ordinary symbol display device 6 is “00” when the random number value is “0” and “0” when the random number value is “1”.
1 "..." 99 "In the case of" 99 ", the combination of the random number value and the symbol corresponds to each other, and a hit or miss is displayed according to the determined random number.

On the other hand, the special symbol left of the special symbol display device 3
In the special design, the special design right is “0-9” and “ACHL”
PU "can be displayed respectively,
Random number for left symbol (0-15), random number for middle symbol (0-1)
5) Display the symbol corresponding to the right symbol random number (0-15). Until these symbol random numbers are reset by the interrupt signal, the addition process is repeated in order of right, middle, and left by "1". Then, after the symbol has started to change, 8
The symbol corresponding to the value of the random number after the elapse of the second or 1.3 seconds is set as the stop symbol, and after the required time elapses to match the determined symbol at 0.5 seconds, the special symbol left stops. Next, after a required time elapses from the stop of the special symbol left to coincide with the determined symbol at 0.5 seconds, the right of the special symbol stops. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the right of the special symbol has stopped, the special symbol stops. The predetermined time differs depending on whether the symbol displayed by the special symbol left (hereinafter, referred to as symbol left) and the symbol displayed by the special symbol right (hereinafter, symbol right) match or not.

In other words, when the symbol left and the symbol right do not match, the special symbol stops after the required time elapses to match the determined symbol in 0.5 seconds in the same manner as described above. On the other hand, when the left symbol coincides with the symbol right, the special symbol is stopped after adding the time required until the symbol coincides with the determined symbol to 5.3 seconds. In this case, the time required for converting one symbol in the special symbol is changed to 320 ms. In this way, the stop during the special symbol is delayed to improve the player's expectation.

Then, 0.5 seconds after the stop in the special symbol, the winning combination is determined. If the symbol left, the symbol right, and the symbol match, a big hit (large winning) is obtained. When you hit a jackpot,
The special winning opening solenoid is excited to open the special winning opening, turn on the special winning opening indicator light 44, and generate a sound effect from the speaker. During opening, a stop symbol is lit on the left side of the special symbol and right side of the special symbol, and the number of times of opening the special winning opening is displayed in the special symbol.

According to the above-described pachinko game, when a hit ball fired by a player passes through the starting port gate 11,
The normal symbol display device 6 starts the variable display, and when a symbol to be visually displayed after a predetermined time elapses hits, the blade member 22 of the normal electric accessory 5 is opened. This ordinary electric accessory 5
It functions as a starting means of the special symbol display device 3, and when a hit ball acts on a special symbol switch provided on the ordinary electric accessory 5,
When the special symbol display device 3 starts variable display and the combination of symbols to be visually displayed after a predetermined time elapses is a predetermined combination, a special winning opening is opened, and further, the combination of symbols is a specific symbol, for example, " In the case of “777”, the fluctuation time of the symbols displayed by the ordinary symbol display device 6 and the special symbol display device 3 is shortened, so that the probability of a big hit from the viewpoint of the symbol combination has not changed. The odds of a big hit increase. Therefore, the big hits can be concentrated in a short time, and the expectation that the big hits are continuously generated can be enhanced, and the pachinko game which is full of interest can be realized.

Then, the starting port gate 11 as the display starting means of the ordinary symbol display device 6 is set by appropriate nail adjustment or the like, for example, by setting the starting ball gate 11 to such an extent that a hit ball normally passes (for example, about 20 hit balls per minute). If this is the case, it is easy to balance the profit between the player and the game store. In addition, starting gate 1
The number of hit balls that have passed 1 may be stored up to a predetermined number (for example, 4), or the starting port gate 11 may be a winning port instead of a passing port.

As described above, the present invention will be described based on the embodiments of the drawings.
Although the so-called type 1 pachinko machine has been described, the present invention
It is also possible to apply to a second class pachinko machine and a third class pachinko machine. For example, in the case of the second type, an ordinary electric accessory operated by the symbol display device is set as the second type starting port,
The determination of a hit or a miss in the second-class accessory may be performed by another symbol display device. In the case of the third type, a normal electric accessory operated by a normal symbol display device is used.
If a special winning opening to be set as a right opening is set, another symbol display device is activated by a hit ball winning the specific winning opening, and the right is generated and extinguished by the symbol displayed by the display device. Good.
