As shown in FIG. 6 (A), the game ball P that has flowed down the flow path B falls onto the bottom 37a1 of the left mulberry 37a, but the left mulberry 37a is rising and the bottom 37a1 is inclined rearward. Therefore, the game ball P rolls down behind the bottom 37a1. Also, the game ball P that has flowed down on the flow-down route C falls on the bottom 37b1 of the right mulberry 37b,
Since the right mulch 37b is rising and the bottom 37b1 is inclined rearward, the game ball P rolls down behind the bottom 37b1. Subsequently, the game ball P, which has rolled behind the mulberry 37, passes over the rotating body 39 and falls forward of the rotating body 39, but has three flowing paths G, H, and I as flowing paths. Exists. When flowing down the downflow route G, the probability of passing through the left general area 46a is high, and the probability of passing through the special area 45 is low. When flowing down the downflow route I, the probability of passing through the right general area 46b is high, and the probability of passing through the special area 45 is low. Further, when flowing down the downflow path H, the probability of passing through the general area 46 is low, and the special area 45
The probability of passing through is high.

The rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a is located on the right side, and the rising portion 39a of the right rotating body 39b is located.
b2 is located on the left side. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), since the passage of the flow-down route H (FIG. 6 (A)) is substantially prevented, the game ball P selects one of the flow-down routes G and I. And run down. Therefore, in this case, the probability that the game ball P passes through the general area 46 is high, and the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is low.

In this case, although not shown, the game ball P that has flowed down the downflow path B or the downflow path C (FIG. 6A) is received by the rising portion 39a2 or the rising portion 39b2. When the left rotator 39a is received by the rising portion 39a2, the game ball P falls from the left side of the left rotator 39a because the left rotator 39a rotates counterclockwise. When received by the rising portion 39b2, the right rotating body 39
Since b rotates clockwise, the game ball P moves to the right rotating body 39.
Fall from the right side of b. Therefore, the probability that the game ball P passes through the general area 46 is high, and the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is low.

(3) When the mulberry 37 is descending As shown in FIG. 6 (B), the game ball P which has flowed down the downflow path B falls on the bottom 37a1 of the left mulberry 37a. Since the mulberry 37a is descending and the upper surface of the bottom portion 37a1 is inclined forward, the game ball P follows the flow-down path J and has a high probability of rolling down from the left side of the bottom portion 37a1. Therefore, the probability that the game ball P passes through the left general area 46a is high, and the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is low.
In addition, the game ball P that has flowed down on the flow-down route C is
b falls on the bottom portion 37b1, but the right mulberry 37b is lowered, and the upper surface of the bottom portion 37b1 is inclined forward, so that the game ball P follows the downflow path L and rolls down from the right side of the bottom portion 37b1. High probability. Therefore, the probability that the game ball P passes through the right general area 46b is high, and the probability that it passes through the special area 45 is low. When the game ball P falls behind the mulberry 37, the game ball P may follow the flow path K. In this case, the game ball P has a high probability of passing through the special area 45 and passes through the general area 46. The probability of doing is low.

"7" means the probability of stopping.

[Series of Operations of Pachinko Machine 10] Next, a series of operations of the pachinko machine 10 will be described focusing on the processing flow of the CPU 71. FIG. 10 is a main flowchart showing main processing contents executed by the CPU 71. First, when the pachinko hall person turns on the power of the pachinko machine 10, the CPU 71 determines that the power is on (step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 10: Ye).
s), initialization is performed (S12), and the first routine ends. Subsequently, the CPU 71 executes an input process of inputting various signals input to the main board 70 (S14), and executes an output process of outputting various commands based on the input various signals (S16).

(Symbol Operating Port Process) Next, the flow of the symbol operating port process executed by the CPU 71 in S20 of FIG. 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the player puts the game ball P in the upper tray 20 (FIG. 1), the game ball P is guided to the launching device unit 15 (FIG. 8), and the player puts the shooting handle 15a (FIG. 1).
By turning, the firing device unit 15 is activated, and a game ball is fired. The launched game ball is guided by a guide rail 16.

It is determined whether it is 1 or more. Here, S26 of the symbol operation port processing
Since the symbol operation storage number U1 = 1, the determination is affirmative (S34: Yes), and "1" is subtracted from the symbol operation storage number U1 (S36).

Subsequently, the CPU 71 starts counting a fixed variation time T1 (for example, 7 seconds) indicating the time during which the symbol is changing (S38), and executes a symbol change start command for instructing the start of the symbol change. Output to the substrate 34c (S40). Thereby, the symbol display device 34 variably displays the symbols “0” to “7” on the symbol display units 34a and 34b. Subsequently, the CPU 71 selects one big hit random number value from the big hit random number table 85a (FIG. 9A) (S42), and the selected big hit random number value is a big hit random number value corresponding to the big hit, for example, “7”. It is determined whether or not (S44). Subsequently, when determining that the selected big hit random number value is a random number value corresponding to the big hit (S44: Yes), the CPU 71 sets a big hit flag indicating occurrence of the big hit (S46).

Subsequently, the CPU 71 selects one big hit symbol random number value from the big hit symbol table 85b, reads out the big hit symbol associated with the selected big hit symbol random value, and sets it in the RAM 73 (S48). Also C
If the PU 71 determines that the hit is not a big hit in S44, that is, if it is determined to be a loss, the PU 71 determines the loss symbol table 85c, 8
5d, the lost symbol random values are selected one by one, and the lost symbols associated with the selected lost symbol random values are read out and set in the RAM 73 (S5).
0). Subsequently, the CPU 71 sets a reach random number table 85e.
One reach random value is selected from FIG. 9 (D) (S5).
2) The reach pattern associated with the selected reach random value is read and set in the RAM 73 (S54). For example, if the reach random number selected in the case of a big hit is “9”, a super reach pattern is set, and the reach random number selected in the case of a loss is “9”.
In the case of, set the long reach pattern.

Subsequently, the CPU 71 returns to S32 and determines whether or not the symbol display device 34 is displaying the symbols in a variable manner. However, since the symbol variation display has been started in S40, the process proceeds to S56 (S32). : Yes), it is determined whether or not the elapsed time T from the start of the variable display of the symbol has reached the variable fixed time T1 at which counting was started in S38. Then, the CPU 71 determines that the elapsed time T is the variable fixed time T
When it reaches 1 (S56: Yes), the reach pattern set in S54 is executed (S58). At this time, the stop symbol in the case of a big hit is “33” or “7”.
7 ", and in the case of a loss, for example," 23 "or" 67 ".

(Electric Combination Processing) Next, the CPU 71
The flow of the electric accessory processing executed in S70 of No. 0 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The CPU 71 is an electric accessory 30, that is, the rotating blade 3.

At this stage, since it has not been operated yet, the process proceeds to S74 (S72: No), and in S46 of the symbol variation process. It is determined whether or not the big hit flag is set. Subsequently, when determining that the big hit flag is set (S74: Yes), the CPU 71 determines whether the combination of the big hit symbols selected in S48 of the symbol variation process is "33" or "77" (S74). S7
6). Then, the CPU 71 determines that the combination of the big hit symbols is “3”.
If "3" (S76: 33), the first operation pattern is executed (S80), and if the combination of big hit symbols is "77" (S76: 77), the second operation pattern is executed (S130). ). The first operation pattern and the second operation pattern determine the operation pattern of the electric accessory 30, and both operation patterns are stored in the ROM 72 (FIG. 8).

(First Operation Pattern) Next, the flow of the first operation pattern executed by the CPU 71 in S80 of FIG. 13 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16, FIG. 19 and FIG.

4) The CPU 71 determines whether or not the rotating blades 31 and 32 are being opened (S80). At this stage, since the rotating blades 31 and 32 have not been opened yet, the process proceeds to S82 (S8).
0: No), the counting of the open time Ta indicating the time during which the rotary blades 31 and 32 are open is started (S82,
(T1 in FIG. 21A). Subsequently, the CPU 71 outputs an operation signal to the rotating blade operating solenoid 30f (FIG. 8) to open the rotating blades 31 and 32 (S84, t1 in FIG. 21A). The opening of the rotating blades 31 and 32 allows the winning prize opening 33 to enter a winning state, so that the gaming balls P can drop from the winning prize opening 33 into the inside of the electric accessory 30. Subsequently, the CPU 71 returns to S80 to determine whether or not the rotating blades 31, 32 are being opened. However, since the opening of the rotating blades 31, 32 has been started in S84, the rotating blades 31, 32 are started.
32 is determined to be open (S80: Yes), S8

c is started (S102), and when the elapsed time T from when the mulberry 37 rises reaches the rising time Tc (S102).
104: Yes), the mulberry operating solenoid 38 (FIGS. 4 and 8) is turned off, and the mulberry 37 is lowered (S106, t6 in FIG. 12A). That is, when a big hit occurs in the symbol “33”, the mulberry 37 is raised, and the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is increased. In this embodiment, although the rising time Tc of the mulberry 37 is 6.6 seconds,
The numerical value is not limited to the numerical value and can be set to any numerical value.

(3) Control of Rotating Body 39 (FIG. 16) When the CPU 71 detects a signal sent from the sensor 43 (FIGS. 7 and 8) (S120: Yes), the CPU 71 proceeds to the motor drive circuit 44 (FIG. 8). A drive stop signal is sent out to the motor 40
Is stopped, and the rotation of the rotating body 39 is stopped (S12).
2, t1 in FIG. 21 (A)). At this time, as shown in FIG. 6A, the rising member 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a is located on the left side, and the rising member 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b is located on the right side. In other words, the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is high. Then CPU
71 starts counting the stop time Td indicating the time during which the rotating body 39 is stopped (S124), and
When the elapsed time T from when the motor stops reaches the stop time Td (S126: Yes), a drive signal is sent to the motor drive circuit 44 (FIG. 8) to rotate the motor 40, and the rotator 39
(S128, t in FIG. 21A)

That is, when a big hit occurs in the symbol “33”, the rotating body is stopped in the posture shown in FIG. 6A, and the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is increased. In addition,
In the present embodiment, the stop time Td of the rotating body 39 is set to 5.
Although it is 6 seconds, the value is not limited to that value and can be set to an arbitrary value.

(4) Right Generation Processing (FIG. 19) The CPU 71 resets the number of times the special area detection switch 45a has been turned ON, that is, the number of passes m indicating the number of game balls P passing through the special area 45 to "0". (S180), when ON of the special area detection switch 45a is detected (S182:
Yes), "1" is added to the number of passes m (S184).
Subsequently, the CPU 71 determines whether or not the passing number m is an odd number (S186). For example, the CPU 71 determines in S182
Is the first detection in step S184, since m = 1 in step S184, it is determined that m is an odd number (S1).
86: Yes), and sets a right generation flag (S18).
8). If the CPU 71 determines that all of the first operation patterns have not been completed (S192: N)
o), returning to S182, and waiting until the special area detection switch 45a is turned ON. Then, when detecting that the second game ball P has passed the special area 45 (S182: Yes), the CPU 71 adds “1” to the number of passes m (S184). As a result, the number of passes m = 2,
The CPU 71 determines that the passing number m is not an odd number (S18).
6: No), the right occurrence flag is reset (S19)
0). That is, each time the game ball P passes through the special area 45, the setting and resetting of the right generation flag are alternately repeated. As described above, by executing the first operation pattern, the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 can be increased.

(Second Operation Pattern) Next, the flow of the second operation pattern executed by the CPU 71 in S130 of FIG. 13 will be described with reference to FIGS. 17, 18 and 20B. FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a flow of control of the rotating blades 31 and 32, and FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a flow of control of the mulberry 37. FIG. 20B is a timing chart of the second operation pattern.

(1) Control of rotating blades 31 and 32 (FIG. 1)
7) The CPU 71 starts counting the open time Te indicating the time during which the rotary blades 31 and 32 are open (S13).
2, t1) of FIG. 21 (B), rotating blade operating solenoid 3
0f (FIG. 8) to output an operating signal to the rotating blades 31, 32.
Is released (S132, t1 in FIG. 20B). Then, the CPU 71 determines that the elapsed time T from opening the rotating blades 31 and 32 has reached the opening time Te (S13).
4: Yes), rotating blade operating solenoid 30f (FIG. 8)
Is turned off to close the rotating blades 31 and 32 (S13
6, t8 in FIG. 21 (B)). In other words, when a big hit occurs in the symbol “77”, the rotating blades 31 and 32 are opened for the opening time T.
Open during e. In this embodiment, the opening time T
e is 5.6 seconds, but is not limited to that value and can be set to any value.

(2) Control of Mul 37 (FIG. 18) The CPU 71 determines whether or not the mulch 37 is rising (S140). At this stage, since the mulberry 37 has not yet risen, the process proceeds to S142. (S140: No), the counting of the rising time Tf is started (S142, FIG. 21).
(B) t1). Subsequently, the CPU 71 outputs an operation signal to the mulberry operating solenoid 38 (FIGS. 4 and 8) to output the mulberry 37
(S144, t1 in FIG. 21B). Subsequently, the CPU 71 returns to S140 and determines whether or not the mulberry 37 is rising. However, since the rising of the mulberry 37 has been started in S144, it is determined that the mulberry 37 is rising (S140: Yes), Proceed to S146.

When the CPU 71 determines that the elapsed time T after the rise of the mulberry 37 has reached the rise time Tf (S146: Yes), the CPU 71 turns off the mulberry operation solenoid 38 (FIGS. 4 and 8) and turns off the mulberry. 37 is lowered (S14)
8, t2 in FIG. 21 (B)). Subsequently, the CPU 71 starts counting a descent time Tg indicating the descent time of the mulberry 37 (S150, t2 in FIG. 21B). Then, the CPU 71 determines that the elapsed time T from the lowering of the mulberry 37 has reached the lowering time Tg (S152: Y
es), “1” is added to the number of rises N2 of the mulberry 37 (S154). Subsequently, the CPU 71 determines whether or not the number of rises N2 is “4” (S156).
If 2 is not “4” (S156: No), the above S1
Steps S40 to S156 are executed. Then, when the number of rises N2 becomes “4” (S156: Yes), the CPU 71 ends the mulberry control. In addition, as shown in FIG. 21B, the rotating body 39 continues to rotate without stopping. Also in the second operation pattern, the above-mentioned right generation processing (FIG. 19) is executed.

In other words, when a big hit occurs in the symbol "77", the mulberry 37 rises four times. In this embodiment, the rising time Tf of the mulberry 37 is 0.8 seconds, and the falling time Tg is 0.8 seconds. Further, the number of rises N2, the rise time Tf, and the fall time Tg are not limited to the above numerical values, and can be set to any numerical values. As described above, by executing the second operation pattern, the game ball P
Can pass through the special area 45 with high probability. Returning to the description of the electric accessory processing in FIG.
71 determines that the execution of all of the first operation pattern or the second operation pattern has been completed (S170: Y
es), the big hit flag set in S46 of the symbol variation process of FIG. 12 is reset (S172).

As described above, when the electric accessory processing of this embodiment is executed, the rotating blades 31, 32, the mulch 37, and the rotating body 39 are switched between the first operation pattern and the second operation pattern.
Are different, the monotonous operation of the electric accessory 30 can be eliminated. In addition, since the first operation pattern and the second operation pattern have different flow paths until the game ball P winning the electric accessory 30 passes through the special area 45 or the general area 46, the flow path is monotonous. Can be eliminated.

[Special Winning Port Processing] Next, the flow of the special winning port processing executed by the CPU 71 in S200 of FIG. 10 when a right is generated will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. If the CPU 71 determines that the right occurrence flag is on (S202: Yes), the special winning opening 61
It is determined whether or not is open (S204). At this stage, since the special winning opening 61 has not been opened yet, S20 is executed.
The process proceeds to 6 (S204: No), and waits until the starting area detection switch 54 is turned on by the game ball P. Here, the player makes a so-called right hit, and the game ball P stays in the concave portion 52 of the rotary chucker 50, is carried downward by the rotation of the main body 51, and the starting area detection switch 54 (FIG. 8) is turned off.
If N, the CPU 71 sets the starting area detection switch 54 to O
It is determined that N has been performed (S206: Yes).

Subsequently, the CPU 71 starts counting the special winning opening time T2, which indicates the time during which the special winning opening 61 is open (S208). Subsequently, the CPU 71 sends an operation signal to the special winning opening solenoid 62, activates the variable winning device 60, and opens the special winning opening 61 (S21).
0). Subsequently, the CPU 71 resets the number of rounds R indicating the number of times the special winning opening 61 is opened (S212), and resets the special winning opening winning number P1 indicating the number of winnings to the special winning opening 61 (S214). Then, the CPU 71 returns to S202, and determines that the right occurrence flag is set (S202:
Yes), since the special winning opening 61 is open in S212, it is determined that the special winning opening 61 is open (S20).
4: Yes), the process proceeds to S216.

Subsequently, the CPU 71 determines whether or not the elapsed time T from opening the special winning opening 61 has reached the special winning opening time T2 (S216), and determines whether the elapsed time T has opened the special winning opening. When the time T2 has been reached, the special winning opening solenoid 6
2 is turned off, and the special winning opening 61 is closed (S22).
0). When the elapsed time T has not reached the special winning opening time T2 (S216: No), the special winning opening winning number P
It is determined whether 1 has become “10” or more (S21).
8) If it is equal to or more than "10" (S218: Y
es), the special winning opening solenoid 62 is turned off, and the special winning opening 61 is closed (S220). In other words, even if it is within the special winning opening time T2, when ten or more game balls P win the special winning opening 61, the special winning opening 61 is closed.

When the special winning opening 61 is closed, the CPU 7
1 determines whether or not the number of rounds R is “16” (S222). If the number of rounds R is not “16” (S222: No), “1” is added to the number of rounds R. (S224). As described above, the CPU 71 determines in S22
Until the round number R is determined to be "16" in S2 (S222: Yes), S202 to S224 are repeatedly executed. When the CPU 71 determines that the number of rounds R is “16” in S222 (S222:
Yes), resets the right occurrence flag (S22)
6).

[Effects of the First Embodiment] As described above, if the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment is used, the electric accessory 3
Since the rotating blades 31 and 32, the mulch 37, and the rotating body 39 that constitute 0 can have different operating modes according to the type of the big hit symbol, it is possible to eliminate the monotonous operation mode of the electric accessory. Can be. Moreover, the flow-down route of the gaming ball P winning the electric accessory 30 can be changed to a flow-down route that easily passes through the special area 45 or a flow-down route that is difficult to pass in accordance with the type of the big hit symbol. Can be eliminated. Therefore, since the player is not tired of the game immediately due to the monotonousness of the operation mode of the members provided on the electric accessory or the monotonousness of the downflow path, it is possible to play interestingly for a long time.

[Modification] It is to be noted that whether or not a right has been generated is indicated by a display means such as an LED or an LCD.
May be configured to be displayed at a predetermined location. According to this configuration, the player can know whether or not the right is currently generated. Therefore, in the case where the right has not been generated, it is expected that the game ball P will not pass through the special area 45 early before the first operation pattern is completed. Since it is possible to play the game while expecting that the ball P will somehow pass through the special area 45 and the right does not disappear, the interest of the game can be doubled. Further, the configuration and control contents of the electric accessory 30 are not limited to the configuration in the above embodiment, and the design can be changed. For example, it may be configured such that at least one of the mulberry 37 and the rotating body 39 constituting the electric accessory 30 is always operating. Further, the probability of the right being generated depends on the rotating blades 31, 3
2. It can be easily changed by changing at least one or more operation patterns of the mortar 37 and the rotating body 39. When the probability of occurrence of a big hit is set low, the above-described operation pattern is set so that the probability that the game ball P passes through the special area 45 is increased. Ball P is special area 4
By setting the above-mentioned operation pattern so that the probability of passing the right 5 becomes low, the right generation probability can be finally kept constant. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case of one type of big hit has been described. However, for example, a plurality of types such as a small hit, a medium hit, and a big hit can be set. For example, when the symbol "11" is displayed by the display units 34a and 34b, a small hit is set, when the symbol "33" is displayed, a medium hit is set, and when the symbol "77" is displayed, a large hit is set. It is also possible to provide a difference in the degree of profit that the player can obtain, that is, the degree of profit according to each hit.
