The variable display control board 216 is grounded by a GND line extending from the game control board 166.

The CRT control circuit 167 controls the entire circuit formed on the variable display control board 216 in response to the received command data CD0 to CD7. CR
The T control circuit 167 sends an address signal, a data signal, and a control signal to the VDP 159, and
And a CRT control circuit 167 for transmitting and receiving data signals. Then, the CRT control circuit 1
67 controls the entire circuit formed on the variable display control board 216 based on the received data.

VDP 159 operates in response to a clock signal supplied from oscillation circuit 165, and reset circuit 16
The operation is reset in response to the reset signal supplied from 4. The VDP 159 generates image data in response to a control signal from the CRT control circuit 167. VDP 159 is a VRAM address signal, VRAM

Transmit to AM160. VRAM160 to VDP15
9, a signal such as a VRAM data signal is returned.
VDP 159 transmits a character ROM address signal, a character ROM data signal, and a character ROM control signal to character ROM 161. Character R
A signal such as a character ROM data signal is returned from the OM 161 to the VDP 159.

The VDP 159 responds to a control signal output from the CRT control circuit 167 to generate image data for composing an image displayed on the image display section of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, 23c. VRAM
Reference numeral 160 temporarily stores the image data generated by the VDP 159. The image data generated by the VDP 159 and stored in the VRAM 160 is a character identification number in units of a set of a predetermined number of dots.

The image data includes identification numbers of a plurality of characters according to the displayed arrangement relationship. This is called map data. The identification number of each character is
It is stored in the CRT control circuit 167 in advance. The identification number of the character required to compose the image displayed on the image display unit is read out from the CRT control circuit 167, and is stored in the VRAM 160 by the VDP 159 as map data for indicating the arrangement relationship of the character on the display screen. It is memorized.

The character ROM 161 stores dot data corresponding to the identification number of the character in advance.
The VDP 159 reads map data from the VRAM 160 at a predetermined timing, and reads dot data of each character based on the identification number of each character included in the map data. The VDP 159 generates an image display signal based on the read dot data. The generated signal is converted into an analog RGB (RE
D, GREEN, BLUE) signal and output to the display device 163. Further, the VDP 159 outputs the decoding synchronization signal SYNC.
Is supplied to the display device 163. The display device 163 displays an image on the image display unit based on the transmitted RGB signal and the decoded synchronization signal SYNC. The display device 16
3 is grounded by a GND line extending from the game control board 166.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining various random counters for generating random numbers used for game control of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 randomly determines whether or not to generate the above-mentioned specific gaming state based on a count value (random number) of a random counter. There are seven types of random counters, random 1 to random 7. The random 1 counter is a special symbol display 23a,
This is for randomly determining whether or not to generate the first type specific game state (first type big hit) based on the display results of 23b and 23c. This random 1 counter is
It counts up from 0, counts up to its upper limit of 370, and then counts up again from 0. This counting operation is performed by the periodic reset circuit 13.
Each time the periodic reset signal from 9 is input, it is added once. As a result, 1 is added every 2 msec.

The random 2 counter counts up from 0, counts up to the upper limit of 10, and then counts up again from 0. The count value of the random 2 counter is used to randomly determine whether or not to generate a general symbol hit based on the display result of the ordinary symbol display 20. This random 2 counter is also added every time the periodic reset signal is input, and is added for 2 msec.
Each time it is incremented by one.

The random 3 counter counts up from 0 and counts up from 0 again when it counts up to its upper limit of 127. The count value of the three random counters is used to randomly determine the type of the reach state when the reach state is generated. This random 3 counter is also incremented by one every 2 msec because it is incremented every time the above-mentioned periodic reset signal is input.

It should be noted that the reach state does not deviate from the display condition of the specific display mode even when the variable display control of the variable display device progresses to a stage before the display result is derived and displayed. Refers to the display state.

The random 4 counter counts up from 0, counts up to its upper limit of 14, and then counts up again from 0. The count value of the random four counter is for randomly determining a left stop symbol, that is, a scheduled stop symbol of the left special symbol display 23a. The random 4 counter is added not only every time the periodic reset signal is input, but also in an infinite loop using the remaining time of the interrupt processing. As described above, the CPU 171 executes the program from the beginning simultaneously with the input of the periodic reset signal, executes the program to the end, waits for the input of the next periodic reset signal, and again receives the input of the next periodic reset signal. Operates to re-execute the program from the beginning. In a reset waiting state waiting for the input of the next reset signal, C
The PU 171 repeatedly executes the addition and update processing of the random counter using an infinite loop (see FIG. 6). The random 4 counter also performs addition processing using this infinite loop.

The random 5 counter counts up from 0, counts up to its upper limit of 14, and then counts up again from 0. The random 5 counter is incremented and updated by “1” at each carry by the random 4 counter counting up to the upper limit value 14. The count value of the random 5 counter is
It is used for randomly determining the middle stop symbol, that is, the scheduled stop symbol of the middle special symbol indicator 23b.

The random 6 counter counts up from 0, counts up to its upper limit of 14, and then counts up again from 0. The random 6 counter is "1" for each carry of the random 5 counter.
It is incremented and updated. The count value of the random 6 counter is for randomly determining a right stop symbol, that is, a scheduled stop symbol of the right special symbol indicator 23c.

The random 7 counter counts up from 0, counts up to its upper limit of 9, and then counts up again from 0. Random 7
The counter is incremented by one every 2 msec, and is incremented using the remaining time of the interrupt process. The count value of the random 7 counter is used to randomly determine a symbol that is out of the ordinary variable display device, that is, the ordinary symbol display device 20. As described above, when the symbol "7" is displayed, the normal symbol display 20 becomes a normal symbol hit. Then, when it is determined in advance that the per-figure-per-throw is performed based on the count value of the above-mentioned random 2 counter, control is performed so that the stop is automatically displayed at "7".
On the other hand, if the count value of the random 2 counter is extracted and it is determined in advance that it will be out of range based on the extracted value, the count value of the random 7 counter is extracted and the normal symbol display is performed based on the extracted value. The symbol stop display of the container 20 is performed. This random 7 counter is 0 to 9
When any of the count values 0 to 6 is extracted, the figure of the extracted value itself is stopped and displayed on the ordinary symbol display 20. When 7 is extracted, "8" is stopped and displayed by the ordinary symbol display 20, and if "8" is extracted, "9" is stopped and displayed by the ordinary symbol display 20; if "9" is extracted, "10" is normally displayed. The display 20 is controlled to be stopped and displayed. Therefore, when the normal symbol display 20 is stopped and displayed based on the count value of the random 7 counter, “7” is not stopped and displayed,
There is no hit display.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the control circuit shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The program of this flowchart is stored in the ROM 169.

At step S (hereinafter simply referred to as S) 1, a stack is set, and the routine proceeds to step S2, where R is set.
A determination is made as to whether the data stored in the AM 170 is normal. When the power is turned on or the like, since the data stored in the RAM is not normal, the control proceeds to S9, where the RAM is initialized and the system is initialized. Next, the control proceeds to S10.
The processing of updating the counters of random 1 to random 7 is performed. By this S10, the count values of random 1 to random 7 are added and updated by "1". Then S1
The process proceeds to S1, where a prize storage area storage process is performed.
Proceeding to 1a, an information output process is performed. Then, the process proceeds to S12, in which the process of updating the count values of the random counters 4 to 7 is performed using the input waiting time of the periodic reset signal described above.

If the data in the RAM is normal, the process proceeds to S30, where the output processing of the I / O port is performed. Next, in S4, a switch input process from the input circuit 135 is performed, and in S5, a special variable display process, that is, a process for controlling display of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, 23c is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S6, in which a normal variable display process, that is, a process of performing variable display control of the normal symbol display 20 is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S7, in which a process for controlling the accessory drive, that is, controlling the accessory variable winning prize ball device 32 with a variable display device is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S8, in which electric tulip drive control, that is, control for opening and closing the movable pieces 16, 18 of the first type start port 15 and the second type start port 17 constituted by the electric tulip is performed. Thereafter, the control proceeds to S10.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the switch input process shown in S4. At S13, a switch port input process is performed, and the process proceeds to S14, where it is determined whether or not the ball count detection switch 28 is ON. Ball number detection switch 2
If No. 8 is not ON, the control proceeds to S17, but if a pachinko ball is detected by the ball number detection switch 28 that has won the normal winning opening 27, a determination of YES is made in S14 and the process proceeds to S15, A determination is made whether the 10 count counter is at a maximum. This 10-counter is a counter for counting the number of pachinko balls that have won in the variable display device-attached accessory variable winning ball device 32, and the maximum count value is set to “10”. If the count value of the 10-counter has already reached the maximum, the process proceeds to S17 because it cannot be counted any further.
If the count value of the count counter has not reached the maximum value, the process proceeds to S16, where a process of adding and updating the 10 count counter by "1" is performed.

Next, in S17, the specific ball detection switch 29
Is determined whether or not is turned on. If the specific ball detection switch 29 has not been turned ON, the process proceeds to S21.
The control proceeds to S18, where it is determined whether or not the 10-counter has reached the maximum. If the counter has reached the maximum, the flow proceeds to S20.
Thus, a process of adding and updating "1" to the 10-count counter is performed. Through S16 and S19, the number of all pachinko balls that have entered the variable display device-attached accessory variable prize ball device 32 is counted. Next, proceeding to S20, the V winning flag is set when the pachinko ball has won the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26. Based on the V winning flag, the number of rounds is updated, or if both the first type big hit control and the second type big hit control are not executed, the second type big hit control is newly started.

Next, the routine proceeds to S21, where it is determined whether or not the first type starting ball detector is ON. If it is not ON, the process proceeds to S24, but if a pachinko ball wins in the first kind starting port 15 and the starting winning ball is detected by the starting ball detector 30, the control proceeds to S22 and the special start is performed. A determination is made as to whether the number of storages is at a maximum. This special start storage number can be stored up to "4" as described above. If the maximum has already been reached, the process proceeds to S24. If the maximum has not yet been reached, the special start memory is stored in S23 by S23. A process of adding “1” is performed.

Next, the process proceeds to S24, where it is determined whether or not the passing ball detector is ON. If not turned on, this subroutine program ends,
If the pachinko ball passes through the normal symbol starting port 19 and the passing ball is detected by the passing ball detector 113, the control proceeds to S
Proceeding to 25, a determination is made as to whether the number of ordinary storages is at a maximum. As described above, the upper limit number of the normal start storage is also set to "4". If the maximum has not yet been reached, the process proceeds to S26, and processing for adding "1" to the normal start memory is performed.

FIG. 8A is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the prize storage area storing process shown in S11, and FIG. 8B is a flowchart of the first type big hit determination shown in S40 in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows a subroutine program. 9 and 10 are flowcharts showing a subroutine program of the special variable display process shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10, it is determined in S27 whether or not the special start storage number is “0”. If it is "0", the process proceeds to S29, and it is determined whether or not the normal start storage number is "0". On the other hand, S2
If the special start storage number is no longer "0" as a result of the process of No. 3, a NO determination is made in S27 and the process proceeds to S28, where the count value of the random 1 counter is extracted and the extracted value is stored in the special start storage area. After the processing for storing the data in the corresponding area is performed, the process proceeds to S29. The special start storage area is a storage area for storing the extracted value of the random 1 counter in association with the oldest start winning memory that has won the first kind opening 15.

After the process in S28, the control proceeds to S29. If the pachinko ball passes through the normal symbol starting port 19 and is detected by the passing ball detector 113, the process of S26 is performed, and the normal starting storage number is not "0". Then, S29
Is determined as NO, the process proceeds to S30, and random 2
The value of the counter is extracted and the extracted value is stored in the corresponding area of the normal start storage area. This normal start storage area is also a storage area similar to the above-described special start storage area, and is a storage area for storing the extracted value of the random 2 counter in association with the oldest normal start storage.

Next, a subroutine program for special variable display processing will be described with reference to FIG. First, in S37, it is determined whether or not the variable display operation is already being performed. If the variable display operation is being performed, the process proceeds to S42. If the variable display operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to S38, and it is determined whether the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control is being executed. If any one of the jackpot controls is being executed, a YES determination is made in S38 and the process proceeds to S54, where the special symbol display 23a as a special variable display device is displayed.
Control is performed so that a new variable display operation of 23b and 23c is not performed. Thus, for example, during the second-type jackpot control, the first-type game does not newly start to progress (variable display starts).

In S54, a process of displaying the value of the round counter for counting the number of times of execution of the repetition continuation control (the number of rounds) on any of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, and 23c is performed. A process is performed to display the count value on any of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, and 23c. If the V prize flag is set, display processing is performed to indicate that a ball has won the specific prize port 26 in S57.

On the other hand, if NO is determined in S38, the process proceeds to S39, and it is determined whether or not there is a special start memory. If there is no special start memory, this subroutine program ends.
Proceeding to 40, a first-class jackpot determination is made. The specific content of the first-type big hit determination is shown in FIG. Next, the process proceeds to S41, where the special start winning prize memory is present, so that the special variable display device variable start process is performed based on that. As a result, the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b,
23c is variably started.

Next, in S42, it is determined whether or not the first-type big hit flag is "big hit". This type 1 big hit flag is displayed on the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b, 23.
This flag is for storing the content of the determination when it is determined in advance to generate a big hit according to the display result of c. The first-type big hit flag is subjected to a first-type big hit determination process in S40, and as a result, a process of storing a big hit or a miss is stored. This will be described later. If the first-type big hit flag is not "big hit", the process proceeds to S58 shown in FIG.
If "big hit" has been reached, the process proceeds to S43, in which it is determined whether the left symbol stop time has elapsed. If not, the subroutine program ends.

The left symbol stop time refers to the stop time of the left special symbol display 23a which is first stopped and displayed after the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b and 23c are simultaneously started to change based on the special start memory. For example, when a time of about 5 seconds has been counted from the start of the variable operation. When the left symbol stop time has elapsed, the control proceeds to S44, in which control is performed to extract the value of the random 4 counter at the present time and stop and display the left symbol, that is, the left special symbol display 23a, based on the extracted value. . As a result, the symbol corresponding to the value of the extracted random 4 counter is stopped and displayed on the left special symbol display 23a. Next, the process proceeds to S45, where it is determined whether or not the right symbol stop time has elapsed. At the stage where the right symbol stop time has elapsed, the control proceeds to S46, and control is performed to set left = right to stop the right symbol. The execution of step S46 is performed when the determination of YES is made in S42, that is, when the first type big hit flag is set to "big hit", and it is determined in advance that a big hit is generated. If you are. Therefore, when the right symbol is controlled to be stopped, the right symbol is made to coincide with the left symbol to stop and display the same symbol.

Then, the program proceeds to S47, in which a reach flag is set, and a reach operation process is performed in S48. The reach flag is a flag for storing that the vehicle is currently in the reach state. Since the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed in the same symbol, reach operation control such as variably displaying the middle symbol slowly over a long period of time is performed as described above.

Then, the program proceeds to S49, in which it is determined whether or not the middle symbol stop time has elapsed.
The control proceeds to 0, and the control for stopping the middle symbol is performed by setting left = center. As a result, in the middle symbol, the symbols of exactly the same type as the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped and displayed, and the symbols of the random symbols are aligned. Next, the process proceeds to S51, and a process of clearing the in-reach flag is performed. Since the reach state ends when the middle symbol stops, the reach operation flag is cleared in S51. Next, the process proceeds to S51a, and it is determined whether or not the second-type big hit operation is being performed. If the second type big hit operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to S52 described later. If the second type big hit occurs during the variable display control of the symbol and the second type big hit control is started, this S is executed.
A determination of YES is made in 51a, and a first determination is made in S51b.
The type jackpot flag = “big hit” state is saved and saved in a predetermined storage area. Accordingly, the first type big hit control based on the first type big hit flag = “big hit” is not executed at the same time as the second type big hit control.
Despite the occurrence of the jackpot, the second jackpot control has already been executed and the specific game state has been established, so that the first jackpot is invalidated and there is no disadvantage for the player. . As described above, since the information capable of specifying the second game result is stored, the desired game result for the player is not wasted, and the control regarding the specific game state is smoothly performed without causing any loss to the player. Can be.

Next, the process proceeds to S52, where it is determined whether or not the left symbol is a positively-variable symbol. As described above, the probable symbol is a symbol (3 or 7) that constitutes an assortment of, for example, “777” or “333”, and if the left symbol is the probable symbol, the control proceeds to S53. Proceed and the probable change flag is set. By the setting of the probability change flag, the normal symbol display 20 is controlled so as to be frequently displayed.

Next, the subroutine program for the first-type big hit determination shown in S42 will be described with reference to FIG. By S31, a process of extracting the count value of the random 1 counter stored in the special start storage area 1 is performed. Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the extracted random 1 counter matches the big hit determination value in S32.
Made by The jackpot determination value is a predetermined value such as “5”, for example. If the big hit determination value is one numerical value such as "5", the probability of making a YES determination in S32 is 1/371 (see FIG. 5). That is, the first-type jackpot occurs with a probability of 1/371. If a determination of YES is made in S32, the process proceeds to S33, in which the process of setting the first type big hit flag to "big hit" is performed, and then the control proceeds to S35.

Note that the probability of the first-type jackpot increases during the first-type probability change state as described above, but this is because the number of the big-hit determination values in the first-type probability change state is larger than in the normal game state. That's why.

On the other hand, if NO is determined in S32, the process proceeds to S34, in which a process of setting the first-type big hit flag to "out" is performed, and then the process proceeds to S35. S3
At 5, the process of subtracting and updating the special start memory by "1" is performed, and then, at S36, the process of shifting the special start storage area is performed. Since the number of special start memories is decremented by "1" in S35, the oldest start memory data is erased accordingly, the second oldest start memory data is shifted to the oldest start memory area, and the third is stored. The process of shifting the oldest start storage data to the second oldest start storage area and shifting the fourth oldest start storage data to the third oldest start storage area is performed in S36.

If the big hit flag is not "big hit" at S42, that is, if it is set to "missing", it is determined in advance that the first-type big hit is not to be generated. The control proceeds to S58. In S58, it is determined whether or not the left symbol stop time has elapsed.
Control is performed to extract the value of the counter and stop the left symbol based on the extracted value. As a result, a symbol of a type corresponding to the extracted value of the four random counters is displayed by the left special symbol display 23a. Next, in S60, it is determined whether or not the right symbol stop time has elapsed,
After the elapse, the process proceeds to S61, where the value of the random 6 counter is extracted, and the right symbol is stopped based on the extracted value. As a result, the symbol of the type corresponding to the extracted value of the random 6 counter is stopped and displayed by the right special symbol display 23c. Next, the process proceeds to S63, where it is determined whether or not the left stop symbol and the right stop symbol match.
The process proceeds to 66, but if they match, it is in the reach state, so the process proceeds to S64, the in-reach flag is set, and S6
5, the processing for performing the above-described reach operation is performed.

Next, in S66, it is determined whether or not the middle symbol stop time has come. When the stop time has come, the process proceeds to S67, the reach flag is cleared, and in S68, the value of the random 5 counter is extracted. Then, it is determined whether or not the middle symbol according to the extracted value matches both the left and right stopped symbols. If they do not match, the middle symbol is stopped based on the value of the extracted random five counter, and the symbol corresponding to the extracted value of the random five counter is stopped and displayed on the special middle symbol display 23b. On the other hand, when the determination of YES is made in S68, the middle symbol is stopped according to the extracted value of the random 5 counter as it is, and the left stop symbol, the right stop symbol, and the middle stop symbol are all matched and aligned. Will be displayed. Therefore, at S69, random 5
A process is performed in which “1” is added to the extracted value of the counter and the middle symbol is stopped and controlled based on the added value. As a result, in S69, the pattern is forcibly controlled to be released.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the ordinary variable display processing shown in S6, and FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of ordinary symbol hit determination shown in S72. At S71, it is determined whether or not the ordinary symbol display 20 is performing the variable display operation. If the variable display operation is being performed, the process proceeds to S74. On the other hand, if the variable display operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to S71a, where it is determined whether or not there is a normal startup memory. If there is a normal start memory, the process proceeds to S72, and a normal drawing hit determination process is performed. Next, proceed to S73,
Control for variably starting the ordinary variable display device is performed, and the ordinary symbol display 22 starts the variable display operation.

Next, at S74, it is determined whether or not the stop time has elapsed. At the time when the stop time has elapsed, the process proceeds to S75, and it is determined whether or not the ordinary figure hit flag is "hit". This general-purpose hit flag is set to “hit” or “missing” according to the determination result of the general-purpose hit determination shown in S72. If the ordinary symbol hit flag is set to "hit", the process proceeds to S77, and control for stopping the ordinary symbol display device 20 at "7" is performed.
On the other hand, when the ordinary symbol hit flag is set to "out", the process proceeds to S76, the count value of the random 7 counter at that time is extracted, and the ordinary symbol display 20 is stopped and displayed based on the extracted value. You.

Next, a specific control operation of the ordinary figure hit determination will be described. By S78, the value of the random 2 counter stored in the normal start storage area 1 is extracted. Then S
According to 79, it is determined whether or not the probability change flag is set. If the flag is not set, the process proceeds to S80, and it is determined whether or not the reach flag is set. Proceed to S81. S
In 81, it is determined whether or not the value of the random 2 counter extracted in S78 matches the normal time hit determination value. This normal time hit determination value is formed of a single predetermined number such as “2”. as a result,
The probability that the extracted value of the random 2 counter matches the normal hit determination value is 1/11, and the probability of occurrence of the normal hit is 1
/ 11. In other words, when the state is not the probability change state and the reach state, the probability of occurrence per normal is 1/11.

If YES is determined in S81, the ordinary figure hit flag is set to "hit" in S83, while if NO is determined in S81, the ordinary figure hit flag is set in S82. Is set to "off".

In the case of the probable change state or the reach state, the control proceeds to S84, in which it is determined whether or not the value of the random 2 counter extracted in S78 matches the high probability time hit determination value. This high probability time hit judgment value is composed of three predetermined numerical values such as "2, 5, 7". As a result, at the time of the probability change or the reach state, the determination of YES in S84 is made, and the probability of becoming a regular drawing is 3/11. If a negative determination is made in S84, the process proceeds to S82, the ordinary figure flag is set to "out", and if a positive determination is made in S84, the process proceeds to S85.

In S85, it is determined whether or not the probable change flag is set. If not, the process proceeds to S83, and the ordinary figure hit flag is set to "hit". On the other hand, if the probability change flag is set,
Then, a process of adding and updating the probability change time counter by "1" is performed, and it is determined in S87 whether the value of the probability change time counter has reached N. This N is used to limit the number of times the ordinary symbol display 20 is frequently hit and displayed in the probable change state, and is, for example, a numerical value such as 40. When N is a numerical value of 40, once the probability change state is established, the ordinary symbol display 20 will display "7" with a high probability, and the number of times "7" is displayed with the high probability will be increased. It will be limited to 40 times. Then, when the value of the probability change hit counter reaches N, the process proceeds to S88,
The probable change flag is cleared and returns to the normal state. Next, S89
To S83 after the probability change hit counter is cleared.
Proceed to.

Note that the probable change flag may not be cleared by the probable change hit counter. In that case, the probability change flag is cleared when a predetermined probability change end symbol is stopped and displayed by the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b, 23c, or the second type big hit is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, twice). ) If it occurs, the probable change flag is cleared or the special symbol display 2
When 3a to 23c change a predetermined number of times, the probability change flag is cleared.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the electric tulip drive control shown in S8. In S90, it is determined whether or not the tulip solenoid is already being driven. If it is, the process proceeds to S94. On the other hand, when the opening control of the electric tulip is not being performed, that is, when the tulip solenoid is not being driven, the process proceeds to S91, and it is determined whether or not the ordinary variable display device 20 is stopped, and when not stopped, the subroutine program ends. . When the normal variable display device 20 is stopped, the process proceeds to S92, and it is determined whether or not the ordinary figure hit flag is "hit". If it is not "hit", the subroutine program is terminated because it is out of the way, but if it is "hit", the process proceeds to S93, where the drive of the tulip solenoids 149, 150, 251 is started to start the electric operation. Starting prize openings consisting of tulips 15, 17
The control for opening the respective movable pieces 16 and 18 is started.

Then, the program proceeds to S94, in which it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed.
Then, the driving of the tulip solenoid is stopped, and the open state of the movable pieces 16, 18 of the starting winning ports 15, 17 is ended. Next, the process proceeds to S96, in which a process for returning the ordinary figure flag to "missing" is performed.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the accessory driving control shown in S7.
Due to the start prize at S97, the accessory solenoid 250 accompanies the starting prize.
It is determined whether a and 250b are being driven, and if it is, the process proceeds to S102. On the other hand, if the driving is not being performed, the process proceeds to S98, and it is determined whether or not the first-type big-hit control is being performed. If the first-type big-hit control is being performed, the control proceeds to S110. On the other hand, if the first type big hit control is not being performed, the process proceeds to S99, and it is determined whether or not the second type big hit control is being performed. If the second type big hit control is being performed, the process proceeds to S106. When the big hit control is not being performed, the process proceeds to S100.

At S100, the starting ball detector 3 for the second type is used.
It is determined whether or not No. 1 has been turned on. If it has not been turned on, the process proceeds to S108, and it is determined whether or not the first-type big hit flag has been set to "big hit". Ends this subroutine program. On the other hand, if the pachinko ball wins the second type starting port 17, YES is determined in S100 and the process proceeds to S101, where control for driving the accessory solenoids 250a and 250b twice is started.

Next, the process proceeds to S101a, in which it is determined whether or not the reach flag is set. If not, the process proceeds to S102. On the other hand, the aforementioned S47
Alternatively, if the in-reach flag is set in S64, the control proceeds to S101b, in which the V release solenoid 252 is excited to open the pair of movable pieces 50 and the pachinko ball is inserted into the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26. Is controlled so as to be easy to win.

Next, in S102, it is determined whether or not the two-time drive control of the accessory solenoid has been completed. When the control has been completed, the flow advances to S103 to determine whether or not the specific ball detection switch 29 has been turned ON. Done. The accessory solenoid is driven and controlled twice so that the accessory variable winning ball device 32 with a variable display device is provided.
If the pachinko ball that has entered while the pair of opening / closing members 24 is opening and closing twice is awarded in the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26, the specific ball detection switch is turned ON and YES is determined in S103. You. As a result, the control proceeds to S104, the second type big hit flag is set to "big hit", and the execution of the second type big hit control is determined. Next, the process proceeds to S104a, and it is determined whether or not the first-type big hit operation is being performed. If the first-type jackpot operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to S105 described below. For example, if the first-type jackpot occurs before the V-prize required for the second-type jackpot and the first-type jackpot control is started. Is determined as YES in S104a, the state of the second type big hit flag = "big hit" is saved and saved in a predetermined storage area in S104b, and thereafter the processing is ended without starting the second type big hit control. . Accordingly, the second type big hit control based on the second type big hit flag = “big hit” is not executed simultaneously with the first type big hit control.

On the other hand, if it is determined in S104a that the first-type big hit operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to S105, in which the round counter is set to "1". This round counter is a counter for counting the number of times the repeat continuation control is executed when the above described big hit occurs and the repeat continuation control is executed. And S
The second type big hit control is executed by 106,
"1" is set in the round counter as an initial value at the start of execution of the second type big hit control. on the other hand,
If the pachinko ball does not win the special winning opening (V pocket) 26 at all while the opening / closing member 24 opens and closes twice,
A determination of NO is made in S103 and the process proceeds to S107,
A process of setting the second type big hit flag to "missing" is performed.

If the first-type big hit flag is set to "big hit" in S33 described above, a YES determination is made in S108, the process proceeds to S109, the round counter is set to "1", and in S110, Type 1 big hit control is executed.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the first-type big hit control shown in S110. By S111, the accessory solenoid 250
It is determined whether a, 250b is being excited.
When the excitation is being performed, the process proceeds to S114. When the excitation is not being performed, the process proceeds to S112, and it is determined whether or not the interval period has elapsed. During this interval period, the display results when the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b, 23c are stopped are randomized, and after a specific display mode in which a big hit occurs is obtained, the variable display device attached variable prize ball apparatus 32 is actually set. Is a period of about 5 seconds until the big hit control is started after being controlled to the first state. When this interval period has elapsed, the process proceeds to S113, where the accessory solenoid 250
a, 250b are excited to open the opening and closing member 24, and a 30 second timer is set. Next, proceeding to S114, it is determined whether or not the 10-count counter has reached the maximum. If not, the process proceeds to S115, and it is determined whether or not the 30-second timer has expired. In this case, the subroutine program ends.

When the 10-counter reaches the maximum value or the 30-second timer expires, the process proceeds to S116, where the accessory solenoid is demagnetized and the opening / closing member 24 is closed to enter the second state. Next, in S117, the 10-count counter and the 30-second timer are cleared, and in S118, a process of adding and updating the round counter by “1” is performed. Then, the round counter is set to “1” in S119.
7 "is determined. If the process of S118 is performed after the last 16 rounds have already been executed, the round counter is set to “17”, so the process proceeds to S120, and the first-type jackpot control is terminated to end the first-type jackpot control. The flag is set to "missing".

If the final round has not been reached, S
The process proceeds to 121 to determine whether or not the V winning flag is set, that is, whether or not the repetition continuation condition is satisfied. If it is set, this subroutine program is terminated as it is, so that the first type big hit flag remains at "big hit" and the first type big hit control is continued thereafter. If the V winning flag has not been set, the process of S120 is performed.

In step S120, the first-type big hit flag is set to "missing".
After that, the process proceeds to S120a, where the data in the predetermined storage area is read, and it is determined whether or not the second type big hit flag set in the "big hit" state is stored. If it is not stored, the first-type jackpot control process is terminated.
Proceeding to b, the second type big hit control is executed.

Thus, after the end of the first-class jackpot control,
The second type big hit control is executed based on the second type big hit flag stored in the "big hit" state in S104b. As described above, since the specific game state is controlled again based on the second type big hit flag after the end of the specific game state, the player receives the expected benefit based on the second type big hit after the end of the specific game state. Can be.

FIG. 16 is a flow chart showing the operations in S106 and S12.
It is a flowchart which shows the subroutine program of 2nd big hit control shown by 0b. In S122, it is determined whether or not the accessory solenoids 250a and 250b are being intermittently excited. In the case of the second type big hit, as described above, the accessory solenoid is intermittently excited, and the opening / closing member 24 repeats opening / closing up to 18 times in one round. If the accessory solenoids 250a and 250b are being intermittently excited, the process proceeds to S125. If not, the process proceeds to S123 to determine whether the interval period has elapsed. This interval period is a period from the time when the pachinko ball that has entered while the opening / closing member 24 opens and closes twice wins the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26 until the jackpot control in which the opening / closing member 24 repeatedly opens and closes is started. That is. When this interval period has elapsed, the process proceeds to S124, where the accessory solenoids 250a, 250
Control for intermittently exciting 50b to open / close the opening / closing member 24 is started.

Then, the program proceeds to S125, in which it is determined whether or not the 10-count counter has reached the maximum value. Is determined, if not reached, the process proceeds to S127, and it is determined whether or not the V winning flag is set. If not, the subroutine program is terminated. on the other hand,
Variable winning prize ball device 32 with variable display device during big hit control
Every time a pachinko ball enters, the count value of the 10-counter is incremented and updated by "1" in S19, and the count value of the 10-counter is maximized (for example, 1).
If the number reaches 0, the determination of YES is made in S125 and the process proceeds to S128, where the accessory solenoid is demagnetized and the opening / closing member 24 is closed. Also, when the number of intermittent excitations of the accessory solenoid has reached 18, the process proceeds to S128, and the accessory solenoids 250a and 250b are demagnetized. on the other hand,
If the pachinko ball that has entered during the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 24 due to the big hit wins the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26, the V winning flag is set in S20. In that case, YES is determined in S127. The determination is made and the process proceeds to S128, where the accessory solenoids 250a, 250b
Is demagnetized and the opening / closing member 24 is closed.

Next, proceeding to S129, the 10-count counter is cleared, and proceeding to S130, a process of adding and updating the round counter by "1" is performed. That is, since the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 24 according to the big hit is completed once, the round counter is updated by adding “1” to the next round. Next, the process proceeds to S131, and it is determined whether or not the round counter has reached “17”.
The maximum number of executions of the repetition continuation control is determined to be 16. If the final round of the 16 rounds has been completed, the round counter is updated to "17" as a result of adding and updating "1" in S130. Becomes In that case,
In order to prevent the repetition continuation control from being executed any more, the control proceeds to S134, and a process of returning the second type big hit flag to "missing" is performed. On the other hand, if the round counter has not reached “17”, it means that the game has not yet reached the final round.
It is determined whether or not the winning flag is set,
If the pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26 and the V winning flag is set, it means that the repetition continuation condition has been satisfied, and the process of S134 is not performed, and the second process is performed. The seed jackpot flag is maintained as “jackpot”. As a result, a YES determination is made in S99, and the second-type big hit control is continued.

In step S134, the second-type big hit flag is set to "missing".
After that, the process proceeds to S134a, where data in a predetermined storage area is read, and it is determined whether or not the first-type big hit flag set in the "big hit" state is stored. Then, if it is not stored, the second type big hit control process is ended. If it is stored, S134 is executed.
Proceeding to b, the type 1 big hit control is executed.

Thus, after the end of the second type big hit control,
The first stored in the “big hit” state in S51b
Based on the big hit flag, the first big hit control described using FIG. 15 is executed.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the information output process shown in S11a. The subroutine program of the information output processing shows a control operation for outputting various game information from the information output circuit 137 shown in FIG. 2 to the hall management computer. In S135, it is determined whether or not the first type big hit flag is "big hit". If not, in S136, it is determined whether or not the second type big hit flag is "big hit".
If not, it is determined in S137 whether or not the probable change flag is set. If not, the process proceeds to S138, in which it is determined whether or not the special variable display device is stopped. If it goes to S139,
It is determined whether the first-type starting ball detector is ON. If not, the process proceeds to S140, and it is determined whether the second-type starting ball detector is ON, If it is not ON, this subroutine program ends.

If the first-type big hit flag is set to "big hit" in S33 described above, a YES determination is made in S135 and the process proceeds to S141 to output the first-type big hit information to the hall management computer. Processing is performed. The first type jackpot information is output by the variable display device attached variable prize ball device 32 associated with the first type jackpot.
Is output from the start of the jackpot control operation of controlling to the state described above until the jackpot control ends.

If the second type big hit flag is set to "big hit" in S104 described above, S136
Is made, the process proceeds to S144, and the second-type jackpot information is output to the hall management computer.
The output of the second type big hit information is performed from the start of the big hit control in which the variable display device accessory variable winning prize ball device 32 is controlled to the first state in accordance with the second kind big hit and from the end of the big hit control. Is output continuously during

If the probable change flag is set in S53 described above, a YES determination is made in S137 and the process proceeds to S142, in which probable change information indicating that it is in the probable change state is output to the hall management computer. .
Each special symbol display 23a, 23b of the special variable display device,
23c stops after the variable start, and if the present time corresponds to the stop point, a determination of YES is made in S138 and the process proceeds to S145, in which a pulse signal for causing the hall management computer to total the number of symbol determinations is output. You. The hall management computer counts this pulse signal, and totals the number of symbols determined at this time.

If a pachinko ball is awarded in the first-type starting port 15 and detected by the starting ball detector 30, YES is determined in S139 and the process proceeds to S143, in which the first-class winning in the hall management computer is performed. A pulse signal for counting the number of times is output. The hall management computer receives this pulse signal and counts how many times the first-class start winning has occurred until now. If the pachinko ball wins the second-type starting port 17 and is detected by the starting ball detector 31, YES is determined in S140 and S146 is performed.
Then, a pulse signal for causing the hall management computer to count the number of second-class start winnings is output. The hall management computer receives this pulse signal and counts how many second-class start winnings have occurred until now.

Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the "big hit" at the end of the first type or the second type big hit control.
If the big hit flag (the first kind or the second kind big hit flag) set in the state is stored, the big hit control is not executed again based on the big hit flag after the big hit control ends, and the special game state is set. Is controlled to a probable change state as an example. For example, if the second type big hit flag set to the "big hit" state at the end of the first type big hit control is stored, the second type probability change flag is set, and based on the set second type probability change flag. Thus, the state is controlled to the second type positive change state. On the other hand, when the first type big hit flag set to the "big hit" state at the end of the second type big hit control is stored, the first type probability change flag is set, and based on the set first type probability change flag. Thus, it is controlled to the above-described first type positive change state.

In the second embodiment, since the control is performed as described above, the player can receive the benefit based on the jackpot generated during the specific game state in the form of a probable change state after the end of the specific game state.

In the second embodiment, the flowcharts of FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 17 are modified as shown in FIGS. 18, 19 and 20. Need to be changed to

Further, in the flowchart of the first type big hit determination processing shown in FIG. 8B, before comparing the extracted value of the random 1 counter with the big hit determination value in S32,
A step (S31a) of determining whether or not the first-type probability change flag is set;
69 (S31b), and a step of reading the big hit determination value for the normal gaming state from the ROM 169 when the first type probability change flag is not set (S31c).
And need to be added. Then, in S32, S31
b or the big hit determination value read in S31c is compared with the extracted value to determine whether or not the extracted value is a big hit determination value. Note that the former is set to be larger than the latter in the number of jackpot determination values for the first type probability change state stored in the ROM 169 and the number of jackpot determination values for the normal game state.

Next, with reference to FIG. 18, a description will be given of a change from the first embodiment (see FIG. 14) of the flowchart showing the subroutine program for the accessory drive control. Second
In the embodiment, in S101, the accessory solenoid 250a,
After the step of driving the 250b twice, a step of determining whether or not the second type probability change flag is set (S
101a) is added. Then, when the second type variable flag is set, the V release solenoid 25 is set even if the in-reach flag is not set.
2 is excited to open the pair of movable pieces 50, and the pachinko ball is controlled to the second type positive change state in which the pachinko ball is easy to win the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26 (S101c). The other points are the same as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 14).

Next, with reference to FIG. 19, a description will be given of a change from the first embodiment (see FIG. 15) of the flowchart showing the subroutine program of the first-type big hit control.
In the second embodiment, only the step of S120b is the first step.
Unlike the embodiment, if it is determined in S120a that the second type big hit flag set to the "big hit" state is stored, the second type positive change flag is set in S120b. Based on the second type probability change flag, after the end of the first type big hit control, the game state is controlled to the second type probability change state in S101c.

Next, with reference to FIG. 20, a description will be given of a change from the first embodiment (see FIG. 16) of the flowchart showing the subroutine program of the second type big hit control.
In the second embodiment, only the step of S134b is the first step.
Unlike the embodiment, when it is determined in S134a that the first-type big hit flag set to the "big hit" state is stored, the first-type positive change flag is set in S134b. Based on the first type probability change flag, after the end of the second type big hit control, the gaming state is controlled to the first type probability change state.
That is, when the type 1 big hit determination process is executed,
The extracted value of random 1 is compared with the jackpot determination value for the first-type probable change state.

Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that a second-type jackpot occurs while any of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, and 23c is performing a variable display operation. In this case, the variable display operation of the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b, and 23c is maintained until the second-type big hit control ends, and the final display result is derived and displayed after the second-type big hit control ends. It is.

For example, if all of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b and 23c are performing variable display operations at the time of the occurrence of the second type big hit, all the special symbol displays 23a, 23b and 23c are operated until the second type big hit control is completed. Is maintained in a variable display state. Alternatively, when the reach state is reached at the time when the second-type big hit occurs, the remaining one display is maintained in the variable display state until the second-type big hit control ends.

By controlling in this manner, after the variable display operation of the special symbol display devices 23a, 23b and 23c is started, the second type jackpot is first obtained before the final display result is derived and displayed. Occurs, a special symbol display 23a, 2 during the specific game state based on the second type jackpot.
The first-type big hit does not occur based on the display results of 3b and 23c. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the two types of big hits from overlapping. In addition, instead of continuing the variable display of the special symbol on the variable display device, the variable display of the special symbol may be temporarily interrupted. For example, when the second type big hit occurs, the variable display of the special symbol is temporarily stopped, and the result at the time of the second type big hit occurrence is displayed. At this time, in order to make the player understand that the variable display of the special symbol is temporarily stopped, the special symbol may be continuously finely moved up and down. After that, the variable display of the special symbol is restarted after the end of the second type big hit control, and the final display result is derived and displayed.

In the third embodiment, the flowchart in FIG. 9 of the flowcharts in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 17 needs to be changed as shown in FIG.

Further, in the flowchart of the second type big hit control process shown in FIG.
The step 34b becomes unnecessary. In the third embodiment, since the first type big hit is controlled so as not to occur during the second type big hit control, the "big hit" is controlled during the second type big hit control.
This is because the first type big hit flag of the state is not stored.

Next, with reference to FIG. 21, a description will be given of a change from the first embodiment (see FIG. 9) of the flowchart showing the subroutine program of the special variable display process. In the third embodiment, when all the symbols (left symbol, middle symbol, right symbol) stop, compared to the first embodiment, the second symbol is used.
Step of determining whether or not a seed jackpot operation is being performed (S5)
1a) and a step of storing a first-type big hit flag in a "big hit" state during the second-type big hit operation (S51b).
And have been removed. Instead, after the special variable display device variable start process is performed in S41 (or when it is determined in S37 that the variable display operation is being performed), a step S41a for determining whether or not the second type big hit operation is being performed is added. ing. If the second-type big hit operation is not being performed, the process proceeds to a step for stopping each symbol at a predetermined symbol stop time. However, if the second-type big hit operation is being performed, a step for stopping each symbol is performed. Is configured to end the special variable display processing without proceeding to. This allows
During the second type big hit operation, the control to stop the symbol is not performed, and the symbols are sequentially stopped after the second type big hit operation is completed.

Fourth Embodiment Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 22 is an overall front view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment. Further, FIG.
It is a block diagram showing a part of control circuit used for the pachinko gaming machine shown in the embodiment. This block diagram differs from the block diagram of the control circuit according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 only in that a solenoid V 148 is added to the solenoid circuit 148. Note that FIG.
23 and FIG. 23, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts and devices as those in the first embodiment.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 22 is provided with two variable winning ball devices as compared with the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment. When a first-type big hit occurs, the variable winning ball device (attacker) 33 is controlled to the first state. When a second-type big hit occurs, the variable display device-attached object variable winning ball device 32 is controlled. Controlled to the first state.

In the fourth embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, an attacker solenoid for opening the variable prize ball device (attacker) 33 is separately provided. The attacker solenoid is driven and controlled, while the accessory solenoids 250a, 250
The drive control of 0b is performed only in the case of the two-time drive control when the pachinko gaming machine wins the second-type starting port 17 and the maximum of 18 opening / closing drive controls when the second-type big hit occurs. . Further, in the fourth embodiment, only the first type starting port 15 is formed of the electric tulip, and only the first type starting port 15 is subjected to the electric tulip drive control shown in FIG. The seed starting port 17 is a normal winning port that does not open and close. In addition, at a specific winning opening (V pocket) 26 portion in the variable display device attached accessory variable winning ball device 32, a V front storage member 26a configured to be able to appear and disappear from the gaming board is provided. This V front storage member 26a is a V front storage solenoid 260 (see FIG. 23).
When the ball is excited, the ball which appears from the game board and enters the special winning opening 26 for the second kind is detected by the specific ball detecting switch 29.
Store on the upper side of the detection position. For this reason, while the V-front storage solenoid 260 (see FIG. 23) is energized, the second-type big hit does not occur even if the ball enters the specific winning opening 26. On the other hand, the V-front storage member 26a is buried in the game board when the V-front storage solenoid 260 is demagnetized. For this reason, a second-type big hit may occur while the V pre-storage solenoid 260 is demagnetized. If balls are stored in the V-front storage member 26a when the excitation of the V-front storage solenoid 260 is released, the stored balls are detected by the specific ball detection switch 29, and a second-type big hit occurs.
In the drawing, reference numeral 36 denotes a 10-count display, which displays the counted value of the winning prize balls in the variable prize ball device 33.

In the pachinko gaming machine according to the fourth embodiment configured as described above, after a ball is hit in the second type starting port 17, the variable display results of the special symbol indicators 23a, 23b and 23c are displayed. The result of the jackpot display is the second type starting port 1
If the first-type big hit control is started before the winning in the specific winning opening (V pocket) 26 based on the winning in the 7, the control for exciting the V front storage solenoid 260 is performed. For this reason, the second type big hit does not occur during the first type big hit control. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the two types of big hits from overlapping. In addition, since the V-front storage solenoid 260 is demagnetized on condition that there is a prize in the second-type starting port 17 after the first-type big-hit control is finished, the balls are stored in the V-front storage member 26a. Then, after the end of the first type big hit control, the stored ball is detected by the specific ball detection switch 29, and the second type big hit occurs.

In the fourth embodiment, the following points in the flowchart of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 17 need to be changed. FIG. 6 shows an attacker drive control for driving and controlling the variable winning ball device (attacker) 33 in addition to the step of the drive control of the accessory in S7 for driving and controlling the variable winning ball device 32 with a variable display device. Add to main routine. In the switch input subroutine program of FIG. 7, the ball number detection switch and the specific ball detection switch are replaced with the second type ball number detection switch and the second type ball provided in the variable display device attached bonus variable winning ball device 32. Specific ball detection switch and variable winning ball device (attacker) 3
3 and a first type ball count detection switch provided in
S14-S2
The processing of 0 is performed separately for the first type and the second type. In the special variable display process shown in FIG.
51a and S51b are deleted.

In the accessory drive control shown in FIG.
The drive control contents of only the variable display device attached accessory variable prize ball device 32, specifically, the drive control contents as shown in FIG. That is, S98 and S108 to S1 in FIG.
Delete 10 In addition, S97 is a step of determining whether or not the opening / closing operation is being performed twice in accordance with the winning of the ball into the second type starting port 17. Further, S104a and S1 in FIG.
04b is deleted, and S101c, S101d, S
101e is added. Accordingly, if a first-type big hit occurs after it is determined in S100 that the second-type starting ball detector 31 has been turned ON, a determination of YES is made in S101c, the process proceeds to S101d, and the V pre-storage solenoid. 2
60 is excited. Therefore, the second-type big hit does not occur during the first-type big hit control as described above. On the other hand, after that, the first-type big hit control ends, and
If it is determined at 00 that the second type starting ball detector 31 has been turned ON, the determination at S101c is NO, the process proceeds to S101e, and the excitation of the V front storage solenoid 260 is released. Therefore, if balls are stored in the V-front storage member 26a, the stored balls are detected by the specific ball detection switch 29 after the end of the first type big hit control as described above, and the second type big hit control is executed. .

It is necessary to add a subroutine program for attacker drive control in addition to the accessory drive control. This subroutine program is basically the one shown in FIG.
The steps related to the first-type jackpot control in the accessory drive control shown in FIG. 4 are separated and independent. Specifically, at the beginning of the subroutine program, the first
A step for determining whether or not the attacker solenoid is being driven in accordance with the seed start prize is provided.
Are provided in steps S98 and S108 to S110.

In the first type big hit control shown in FIG.
"Attachment solenoid" is changed to "Attacker solenoid", and S120a and S120b are deleted. What has been described above is the main change of the flowchart shown in the first embodiment in the fourth embodiment.

Fifth Embodiment Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the fifth embodiment has both the above-described gaming control of the second type of pachinko gaming machine and the gaming control of the third type (rights) of the pachinko gaming machine. . When the pachinko ball wins in the second kind starting port 17, the opening / closing member 24 of the variable display device attached variable prize ball device 32 is driven to open and close twice, and the pachinko ball that has entered during that time is a specific winning port (V pocket). If the player wins 26, the second-type big hit control described above is executed.

[0148] On the other hand, the pachinko ball is the starting port 1 for a special symbol.
If the special symbol display 23a, 23b, 23c is variably started after the special symbol display 23 is detected by the special symbol starting ball detector 30 after winning, the control is stopped. When the display result at the time of the stop becomes a specific display mode (for example, 777),
The right generation solenoid 390 (see FIG. 26) is excited to open the right generation variable winning prize ball device 51 to the first state. In the right generating variable prize ball device 51, a specific prize hole 52 is provided at the center thereof, and a normal prize hole 53 is provided on the left and right sides thereof. Variable winning prize ball device 5 for right generation
When the pachinko ball that has entered 1 wins the specific winning opening 52, the winning ball is detected by the specific ball sensor 54, and a right is generated. If the pachinko ball wins again in the specific winning opening 52 and is detected by the specific ball sensor 54 during this right generation state, the right generation state that has been generated will disappear.

If the pachinko ball enters the notch of the rotor 47 during the period of the right generation state, the rotor 47 rotates and the pachinko ball in the notch wins in the opening / closing plate starting port 48. The winning prize ball is detected by the opening / closing plate start sensor 49, a third-type big hit occurs, and the opening / closing plate 34 of the variable winning sphere device 33 is opened to be in the first state.

The first state of the variable winning ball device 33 is as follows.
When a predetermined number (for example, 10) of pachinko balls wins, the pachinko balls temporarily end and enter the second state. In this state, the pachinko balls enter the notch of the rotor 47 and the pachinko balls are detected by the open / close plate start sensor 49. If detected, the repeated continuation control in which the variable winning ball device 33 is controlled to the first state again is executed. The maximum number of executions of the repetition continuation control is set to, for example, 16 rounds.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine according to the fifth embodiment, a variable display device-equipped accessory variable winning ball device 32 is provided.
The same V front storage member 26a as that of the fourth embodiment is provided in the specific winning opening 26 portion, and the same as the fourth embodiment in the specific winning opening 52 portion of the variable winning ball device 51 for generating rights. A V-front storage member 52a configured to be able to protrude from the game board is provided.

The operation of the V front storage member 26a is the same as that of the fourth embodiment. In addition, the V front storage member 52a
Is a V-front storage solenoid 2 similar to the V-front storage member 26a.
When the ball 61 (see FIG. 26) is excited and appears from the game board and enters the specific winning opening 52, the specific ball sensor 5
4. Store on the upper side of the detection position. For this reason, while the V-front storage solenoid 261 is energized, even if the ball enters the specific winning opening 52, no right is generated and the third-type jackpot does not occur. On the other hand, the V-front storage member 52a is buried in the game board when the V-front storage solenoid 261 is demagnetized. For this reason, the V front storage solenoid 261
During the demagnetization, there is a possibility that the right is generated and a third-type jackpot may occur. When the excitation of the V-front storage solenoid 261 is released, the V-front storage member 52a
If the ball is stored in the specific ball detection sensor 54, the stored ball is detected and the right is generated.

In the fifth embodiment, the following control is performed. That is, the special symbol displays 23a, 23
In the case where the variable display results of b and 23c are in a specific display mode and the right generating variable prize ball device 51 is in the first state, the specific prize port 2 is set based on the prize in the second type starting port 17.
When the winning of No. 6 occurs and the second-type big hit control is started, control for exciting the V-front storage solenoid 261 is performed. For this reason, the third-type big hit does not occur during the second-type big hit control. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the two types of big hits from being generated in an overlapping manner, and for example, the control to open the two variable winning prize ball devices 32 and 33 at the same time, so that the shooting ability of the game is excessively enhanced. The V-front storage solenoid 261 is demagnetized after the end of the second-type big hit control. Therefore, if a ball is stored in the V-front storage member 52a, the stored ball is identified after the end of the second-type big hit control. It is detected by the ball sensor 54, and a right generation state is set.

On the other hand, if a third-type big hit occurs before a prize at the specific prize port 26 of the variable display device-attached object variable prize ball device 32 in the first state occurs, V Control for exciting the storage solenoid 260 is performed. For this reason, the second type big hit does not occur during the third type big hit control. As a result, two types of jackpots are generated in an overlapping manner.
It is possible to prevent the game from being excessively enhanced due to the control for simultaneously opening 33. In addition, since the V-front storage solenoid 260 is demagnetized on condition that there is a prize in the second-type starting port 17 after the third-type big hit control is completed, the balls are stored in the V-front storage member 26a. Then, the stored ball is detected by the specific ball detection switch 29 after the end of the third type big hit control, and the second type big hit occurs.

The control circuit used in the fifth embodiment can be substantially the same as the control circuit used in the first embodiment. The changes will be described with reference to FIG. I do.

The input circuit 135 includes a variable winning ball device 33
A third type 10 count switch 132 provided therein;
The specific ball sensor 54 and the opening / closing plate start sensor 49 are connected. On the other hand, the starting ball detector 31 shown in the first embodiment does not exist in the fifth embodiment. The solenoid circuit 148 is connected to a solenoid 149 for driving an electric tulip, a solenoid 252 for opening V, solenoids 250a and 250b for driving accessory, a solenoid 390 for right generation, and solenoids 260 and 261 for storing V before.

The flowchart of the control program used in the fifth embodiment can be applied by partially changing the flowchart of the control program used in the first embodiment. The changes will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the main program, and includes steps S400 to S406 and S409 to S414.
Is the same as the flowchart of the main program of the first embodiment. After the processing of S406, in the fifth embodiment, the attacker drive control of S407 is executed, and then the drive control of the variable prize sphere device for right generation in S408 is performed, and then the flow proceeds to S409.

FIGS. 28 and 29 are flowcharts showing the subroutine program for the switch input shown in S403. In S414, a switch port input process is performed, and the flow advances to S415 to determine whether or not the ball count detection switch is ON. If the ball number detection switch 27 detects a pachinko ball that has entered the variable display device attached accessory variable prize ball device 32, the process proceeds to S416, where it is determined whether or not the second type 10 count counter is at the maximum. If not, proceed to S417,
After the process of adding “1” to the second type 10 count counter is performed, the process proceeds to S418. On the other hand, the process also proceeds to S418 when a determination of NO is made in S415 and when a determination of YES is made in S416.

In S418, it is determined whether or not the specific ball detection switch 29 is ON. If not, the flow advances to S422. Pachinko ball is a special winning opening (V
If the player wins the pocket 26 and is detected by the specific ball detection switch 29, a determination of YES is made in S418, the process proceeds to S419, and it is determined whether or not the second type 10 count counter is at a maximum. If not, in S420, the second type 10 count counter is incremented by "1" and the process proceeds to S421. In S421, a process of setting a V winning flag is performed.

Next, the flow proceeds to S422, in which it is determined whether or not the ten-count switch (third-type, ten-count switch) 132 has been turned on.
The process proceeds to step S423.
It is determined whether or not the seed 10 count counter has reached the maximum. If so, the process proceeds to S425. If not, the process of adding and updating the third kind 10 count counter by "1" in S424. Is made.

Next, the routine proceeds to S425, where the special starting ball detector 3
It is determined whether 0 has been turned on. If not, the process proceeds to S428. If the pachinko ball wins the special symbol starting port 15 and the special starting ball detector 30 is turned on, the process proceeds to S426, and it is determined whether or not the special starting memory is maximum. Proceeding to S427, processing for adding and updating "1" to the special start memory is performed.

Next, the flow advances to S428, where the passing sphere detector 131 is set.
It is determined whether or not is turned ON. If not, the process proceeds to S431. If the pachinko ball wins the normal symbol starting port 19 and the passing ball detector 113 is turned on, S4
The program proceeds to step 29, where it is determined whether or not the normal start memory is at a maximum.
A process for adding and updating "1" to the normal start memory is performed.

Next, it is determined whether or not the specific ball sensor 54 has been turned ON. If not, the flow proceeds to S434. The pachinko ball enters the variable display device 51 for right generation and wins the specific winning opening 52. If the winning ball is detected by the specific ball sensor 54, the process proceeds to S432, and whether the right generation flag is set or not is determined. Is determined, and if the right occurrence flag has not been set yet, a process of setting the right occurrence flag is performed in S433.

On the other hand, if the right occurrence flag has already been set when the specific ball sensor is turned on, the process goes to S43.
The server makes a determination of YES through 2 and proceeds to S437, where the right occurrence flag is cleared. In other words, when the pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening 52 when the pachinko ball is not in the right generating state, the right generating state occurs. However, when the pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening 52 during the right generating state, it is generated. The accrual status disappears.

Next, the flow proceeds to S438, in which it is determined whether or not the third type big hit flag has been set. If the third type big hit flag has been set, the third type big hit flag is cleared in S439, and at this time The third type big hit control ends.

After the control of S433, the process proceeds to S434,
It is determined whether or not the opening / closing plate start sensor 49, which is a type 3 starting ball detector, has been turned ON.
Proceeding to 35, it is determined whether the right occurrence flag is set. Only when the right occurrence flag is set, the process proceeds to S436, the third type big hit flag is set, and thereafter the third type big hit control is executed.

Next, the contents of the drive control of the accessory in S406 shown in FIG. 27 will be described. In the accessory drive control, drive control of the variable display device-attached accessory variable prize ball device 32 and drive control of the variable prize ball device (attacker) 33 are performed.

The contents of the drive control of the variable display device attached winning variable prize ball device 32 are described in FIG. 2 described as the fourth embodiment.
24, except that the step of S101c in FIG. 24 needs to be changed to a step of determining whether or not the third-type big hit control operation is being performed.

The details of the drive control of the variable winning ball device (attacker) 33 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in S96, it is determined whether or not the third-type big hit control is being performed (whether or not the third-type big hit flag is set). The processing of the big hit control is performed. If the third-type big-hit control is not being performed, the process proceeds to S97, where it is determined whether or not the variable prize-winning ball device 51 for generating a right is open. If it is, the process proceeds to S101c. On the other hand, if it is not being opened, S10
Then, it is determined whether or not the variable display results of the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, and 23c have a specific display mode. If the variable display results do not have the specific display mode (the special symbol displays 23a, 23b, and 23c). , Or a special symbol display 23a, 23b, 23
The process ends when any of c is variably displayed).
On the other hand, if the variable display results of the special symbol display devices 23a, 23b, and 23c are in a specific display mode, a determination of YES is made in S100, the process proceeds to S101, and the variable display device 51 for right generation is controlled to the open state. Is done.

Next, the process proceeds to S101c, where it is determined whether or not a second-type big hit operation is being performed.
A determination of YES is made in 101c and the process proceeds to S101d,
The V-front storage solenoid 261 is excited, and the process ends. Thereafter, the switch input process described above is executed based on FIG. 28, and it is determined whether or not the specific ball sensor 54 is turned on in S431. However, the storage solenoid 261 is excited, and the V-front storage member 52a is set to the specific ball sensor. A NO determination is made to inhibit detection of the ball at 54. For this reason,
The right occurrence flag is not set, and the third type big hit does not occur during the second type big hit control.

On the other hand, if the second-type big hit control is thereafter terminated, the determination of NO is made in S101c, and the routine proceeds to S101e, where the excitation of the V front storage solenoid 261 is released.
For this reason, if the balls are stored in the V-front storage member 52a, the stored balls are detected by the specific ball sensor 54 after the end of the second-type big hit control, as described above, and the right is generated.

Next, based on FIG. 31, S10 of FIG.
The subroutine program of the third type big hit control shown in FIG. 6 will be described. In S350, it is determined whether or not the third-type big hit flag is “missing”. When the third type big hit flag is "hit", the control proceeds to S351, and it is determined whether or not the attacker solenoid 250 is being excited. When the excitation is being performed, the process proceeds to S353. Proceeding to S352, it is determined whether the interval period has elapsed. When the interval period has elapsed, the process proceeds to S352a, where the attacker solenoid 25
The process of exciting 0 to control the variable winning ball device 33 to the first state and setting a 30-second timer is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S353, in which it is determined whether or not the 10-counter has reached the maximum. If not, in S354, it is determined whether or not the 30-second timer has expired. In this case, the subroutine program ends.

If the 10-counter is at the maximum or the 30-second timer has expired, the control advances to S355 for degaussing the attacker solenoid 250 and closing the open / close plate 34 of the variable winning ball device 33. 10
Processing for clearing the count counter and the 30-second timer is performed. Next, the process proceeds to S356, where the round counter is incremented by "1", and the process proceeds to S357, where it is determined whether or not the round counter is "17". S3
If the 16th round, which is the final round, has already been completed at the stage of 55, a determination of YES is made in S357, and the flow proceeds to S358 in which a process of setting the type 3 big hit flag to "missing" is performed. On the other hand, if the final round has not yet been reached, a NO determination is made in S357, and the flow advances to S359 to determine whether or not the V flag is set. If the pachinko ball that has entered while the variable prize ball device 33 is open wins in the specific winning opening (V pocket), a YES determination is made in S217, and a V winning flag is set in S220. In this case, a determination of YES is made in S359, and the third type big hit flag is not set to "missing". On the other hand, when the V winning flag has not been set, the process proceeds to S358, and the third type big hit flag is set to "missing".

As described above, in the third type big hit control, the first type
Similar to the jackpot control, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of pachinko balls wins in the variable winning ball device 33 in the first state or a predetermined period (30 seconds) elapses, whichever is earlier. When either condition is satisfied, the variable winning prize ball device 33 enters the second state, and during the period of the first state, the pachinko ball wins the specific winning opening (V pocket) and the repeated continuation condition is satisfied. If so, the repetition continuation control in which the variable winning ball device 33 is again controlled to the first state within the range of the predetermined upper limit number (16 rounds) is executed. When the final round has been reached or the repetition condition has not been satisfied, the third-type big hit flag is set to "out", so that the next time the third-type big hit control subroutine program is executed, A determination of YES is made in S350, and the flow proceeds to S360, in which the attacker solenoid 250 is demagnetized and the third
The seed jackpot control is terminated. Next, proceed to S361,
The count counter and the 30 second timer are cleared.

Further, while the third-type big hit flag is set to "hit", the pachinko ball is again inserted into the special winning opening 52.
, The third-type jackpot flag is switched to "missing" as described above (see S439).
In the next execution of the subroutine program for the type jackpot control, a determination of YES is made in S350, and the third type jackpot control ends at that time. Note that, even if the pachinko ball wins in the special winning opening 52 while the third-type big hit flag is set to “hit”, the third
The seed big hit flag may be maintained as “hit”. In that case, once the third-type jackpot is reached, the third-type jackpot control is terminated only when the repetition continuation control is executed until the final round or the repetition continuation condition is not satisfied in the middle.

As described above, in the fifth embodiment,
Instead of providing the V-reserving member 52a in the specific winning opening 52 of the variable winning ball device 51 for right generation, the opening / closing plate starting opening 4
A V-front storage member 52a may be provided in 8 so that the ball entering the opening / closing plate starting port 48 is not detected by the opening / closing plate start sensor 49 during the second-type big hit control. Alternatively, a mechanism for mooring the balls during the second type big hit control may be provided in the rotor 47. Even in the case of such a configuration, the third-type jackpot control is actually started during the second-type jackpot control, and the variable prize ball device 33 is opened when the variable display device-added variable prize ball device 32 is opened. Can also be prevented from opening.

Next, modifications, feature points, and the like of the above-described embodiment will be enumerated below. (1) As a plurality of types of game processes, a first type and a second type
The process up to the occurrence of the big hit executed by the pachinko game machine of the third kind and the third kind has been described as an example.

Here, the control process relating to the jackpot of the first type pachinko gaming machine is as follows. Start winning in the start winning area, control start for deriving a variable display result on the variable display device based on the start winning (for example, start of variable display of special symbols (identification information)), determination of the display result of the variable display device, variable The specific game state is controlled based on the display result being a predetermined specific display mode (first-type big hit control), and the specific game state is ended when a predetermined end condition is satisfied.

When the above-mentioned second or third type game is combined with the first type, the second type big hit control or the third type big hit control is being executed (during the specific game state).
In order to prevent the occurrence of the first type big hit, the first type new game is configured not to progress during the specific game state. For example, during the specific game state based on the second type big hit or the third type big hit, the variable display device does not start the new variable display of the special symbol. Also, during the variable display of the special symbol on the variable display device, the second
When a jackpot or a third jackpot has occurred, a variable display result is derived and displayed during a specific game state based on the second jackpot or the third jackpot, and the result is in a specific display mode. Stores that fact, and after the end of the specific game state, controls to the specific game state based on the storage. Alternatively, after the end of the specific game state, the control may be performed based on the memory to control to a first-type probability variation state (a first-type probability change state) in which the probability of occurrence of the first-type big hit is improved. Alternatively, the variable display device continues to variably display the special symbols until the specific gaming state based on the big hit ends, and the display result is determined after the specific gaming state ends. Further, instead of continuing the variable display of the special symbol on the variable display device, the variable display of the special symbol may be temporarily interrupted. For example, when a second-type big hit or a third-type big hit occurs, the variable display of the special symbol is temporarily stopped, and the result at the time of the big hit occurrence is displayed. At this time, in order to make the player understand that the variable display of the special symbol is temporarily stopped, the special symbol may be continuously finely moved up and down.

The control process for the jackpot of the second type pachinko gaming machine is as follows. The variable winning ball device is controlled to the first state and then to the second state based on the starting winning in the starting winning area and the starting winning (the variable winning ball device is controlled by opening and closing the pair of movable pieces once or twice). ), The ball enters the variable winning ball device in the first state,
The specific game state is controlled (second-type big hit control) on condition that the ball that has entered the variable prize ball device has made a V-prize in the specific prize area, and the specific game state is ended when a predetermined end condition is satisfied.

When the above-mentioned first or third type game is combined with the second type, the first type big hit control or the third type big hit control is being executed (during the specific game state).
In order to prevent the occurrence of the second type big hit, the second type new game is configured not to progress during the specific game state. For example, during the specific game state based on the first-type jackpot or the third-type jackpot, the second-type start winning is invalidated, and the variable winning ball device is not controlled to the first state even if the first-type winning is made. I do. If a first-type jackpot or a third-type jackpot occurs while the variable prize ball device is in the first state, the ball that has entered the variable prize ball device enters the specific prize area. If a V prize is won, that fact is stored, and after the end of the specific gaming state, the state is controlled to the specific gaming state based on the storage. Alternatively, after the end of the specific game state, the control may be performed based on the memory to control a second type probability variation state (a second type probability variation state) in which the probability of occurrence of the second type big hit is improved. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the ball that has entered the specific winning area is temporarily stored in front of the specific ball detection sensor until the specific game state based on the first or third type big hit is completed. In addition, the balls that have entered the variable prize ball device are stored on the better side of the specific prize area (for example, a place where it is not determined whether to enter the specific prize area or the normal prize area), and the first or third kind is stored. The storage ball may be released after the specific game state based on the jackpot has ended. In this case, the second-type big hit control is started when the released ball enters the specific winning area, but the second-type big hit control is not started when the ball enters a normal winning area other than the specific winning area.

The control process relating to the jackpot of the third type of pachinko gaming machine can be exemplified by three types of “symbol type”, “operation determination symbol type”, and “machine type”.

The control process in the case of the "symbol type" is as follows. Start winning in the start winning area, control start for deriving a variable display result on the variable display device based on the start winning (for example, start of variable display of symbols (identification information)), determination of the display result of the variable display device, variable display Control to the right-possible state based on the result of the predetermined specific display mode, control to the right-possible state based on the fact that the ball has passed through the right-generating passage area during the right-possible state, The right generation state is terminated when a predetermined termination condition is satisfied.

When the above-mentioned first or second type game is combined with the third type of "symbol type", the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control is being executed ( In order to prevent the occurrence of the third type jackpot during the specific game state), the third type of new game is configured not to progress during the specific game state. For example, it is conceivable to prevent the variable display device from starting a new variable display of a symbol during the specific game state based on the first type big hit or the second type big hit. If a first-type jackpot or a second-type jackpot occurs while a symbol is being variably displayed on the variable display device, the variable display device is used until the specific gaming state based on the jackpot ends. To continue the variable display of the symbol, and to determine the display result after the end of the specific game state. Further, instead of continuing the variable display of the symbol on the variable display device, the variable display of the symbol may be temporarily interrupted. For example, when a first-type big hit or a second-type big hit occurs, the variable display of the symbol is stopped, and the outcome at the time of the big hit occurrence is displayed. At this time, in order to make the player understand that the variable display of the symbol is temporarily stopped, the symbol may be slightly moved up and down.

In addition, on the condition that the display result of the variable display device is in the specific display mode, the pass area for right generation is configured to be in the first state in which a ball can enter. In this case, during the first-type jackpot control or the second-type jackpot control, the right generation pass area is controlled to the first state even when the display result of the variable display device has a specific display mode. Instead, a flag indicating that a specific display mode has been obtained is stored, and after the first-type jackpot control or the second-type jackpot control is completed, the right-generating pass area is set based on the storage of the flag. The first state may be controlled. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the third type big hit during the execution of the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control only by changing the content of the control program without providing a special member. Alternatively, a hit ball (or a hit ball that is likely to enter) entering the right-generating passage area can be stored in front of the detector in the right-generating passing area, and the first-type jackpot control or the second-type jackpot control is performed. You may make it release a storage ball after completion | finish.

The control process of the "operation determination symbol type" is as follows. Start winning in the start winning area, control start for deriving a variable display result on the variable display device based on the start winning (for example, start of variable display of special symbols (identification information)), determination of the display result of the variable display device, variable Based on the fact that the display result has a predetermined specific display mode, the variable symbol prize ball device for determination symbols is opened and the first symbol is displayed.
And a control for deriving a variable display result in the variable symbol display device on condition that the ball that has entered the variable symbol prize ball device for determination symbol in the first state has started and entered the determination symbol prize winning area. When the start (for example, the variable display of the symbol for identification (identification information) is started), the display result of the variable display device for determination symbol is determined, and the display result of the variable display device for determination symbol is determined, the variable winning ball for determination symbol The start winning ball (start winning ball is temporarily stored in the starting symbol winning area for the judgment symbol) which has been started in the judgment symbol starting area for the device is released, and the variable display of the variable symbol display device for the judgment symbol is released. If the result has a predetermined specific display mode, the distribution member provided in the variable prize ball device for determination symbols distributes the starting winning ball in the direction of the specific ball sensor, and the specific display mode must be achieved. Through Distributed to the sphere sensor direction,
Control to the right generation state based on the detection output of the specific ball sensor, control to the specific game state based on the fact that the ball has passed through the right generation passage area during the right generation state (third-type jackpot control), The specific game state is ended when a predetermined end condition is satisfied.

When the above-described first or second type game is combined with the third type of "operation determination symbol type", the execution of the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control is performed. In order to prevent the occurrence of the third-type jackpot during the (special game state), the third type of new game is configured not to progress during the specific game state. For example, during the specific game state, the variable display device and the variable display device for determination symbols are prevented from starting a new variable display of symbols. Also, while the symbol is variably displayed on the variable display device, the first symbol is displayed.
If a jackpot or a second jackpot has occurred, the specific gaming state based on the jackpot ends.
The variable display of the symbol is continued, and the display result is determined after the end of the specific game state. As in the case of the "symbol type", instead of continuing the variable display of the symbols,
You may be comprised so that variable display of a symbol may be interrupted.

In addition, the third type of new game is allowed to proceed until the display result of the variable display device is derived and displayed even in the specific game state, and the display result of the variable display device is displayed. If the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control is being performed at the time of the specific display mode, the variable symbol prize ball device for judgment symbols is not controlled to the first state, and instead, A flag indicating that the display mode has been set is stored, and after the first-type big-hit control or the second-type big-hit control is completed, the variable symbol prize ball device for determination symbols is set to the first state based on the storage of the flag. You may make it control. Thus, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the third type big hit during the execution of the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control only by changing the content of the control program without providing a special member. Or,
The ball that entered the variable winning ball device for judgment symbols (or
(A ball that is likely to enter) can be stored in front of the detector in the start winning area for the judgment symbol, and the first type big hit control or the second type
You may make it release a storage ball after completion | finish of a seed big hit control. Or, even during the specific game state, the third type of new game is allowed to proceed until the stage immediately before the display result of the variable display device for determination symbols is derived and displayed, and the variable display for determination symbols is displayed. If the first-type jackpot control or the second-type jackpot control is still performed at the time when the display result of the device is derived and displayed, the variable display of the symbol for determination is continued until the big-hit control ends, After the end of the specific gaming state, the display result is determined. Alternatively, the variable display of the symbol for determination is temporarily interrupted instead of continuing the variable display of the symbol for determination. Or, even during the specific game state, the third type of new game is allowed to progress until the display result of the variable display device for determination symbols is derived and displayed, and the variable display device for determination symbols is If the first-type big hit control or the second-type big hit control is performed at the time when the display result is derived and displayed, the first-type big hit control is temporarily stored in the judgment symbol starting winning area of the judgment symbol variable winning ball device. The distribution control of the storage balls by the distribution member is the first type big hit control or the second type.
You may comprise so that it may stop until a big hit control is complete | finished. Alternatively, if the distribution control stage is permitted and the first-type big hit control or the second-type big hit control is performed at the time when the specific ball sensor detects the output, the right generation pass Even if the ball hits the area, control to release the attacker is not performed based on the passage,
After the type 1 jackpot control or the type 2 jackpot control is completed, the attacker may be released.

The "machine type" control process is as follows. A hit ball enters a predetermined winning ball device (for example, the winning ball device is a variable winning ball device that can enter a hit ball when the display result of the variable display device has a specific display mode). The ball that has entered the prize ball device wins a specific prize area in the prize ball apparatus (in the prize ball apparatus, for example, a rotating disk provided with a specific prize area and a normal prize area always rotates). Then, the specific game state is controlled (third-type big hit control) based on the execution, and the specific game state is ended when a predetermined end condition is satisfied.

When the above-described first or second type game is combined with the third type of “machine type”, the first type big hit control or the second type big hit control is being executed ( In order to prevent the occurrence of the third type jackpot during the specific game state), the third type of new game is configured not to progress during the specific game state. For example, when the variable prize ball device adopts a state in which a ball can enter when the display result of the variable display device has a specific display mode as the prize ball device, a specific game state In the middle, the variable prize ball device provided with the third-type specific prize area is closed so that the ball does not enter the variable prize ball device, or the ball that enters the variable prize ball device is detected just before the detection sensor. It is conceivable that the storage is temporarily performed. Alternatively, the firing direction of the ball may be restricted so that the ball is not fired toward the variable winning ball device.

The specific winning port 5 of the opened variable winning ball apparatus 51 for generating rights.
The state that the pachinko ball won in 2 is called the state of right generation,
A pachinko ball is opened and closed during the period of the right generation state.
A state in which the open / close plate 34 of the variable winning ball device 33 is repeatedly opened continuously after the player wins the game is called a specific game state.

(3) The embodiments disclosed this time must be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
