It is about twice as large.

The obstruction bars 20 and 21 are U-shaped members in cross section similarly to the obstruction bar 16A, but do not have the passage hole 23 unlike the obstruction bar 16A. The reason is that the obstacle bars 20, 21 arranged between the symbol display 8 and the fourth and fifth obstacle bar groups 18, 19 are the game received by the second and third obstacle bar groups 16, 17. This is because the game ball is easily received by the ball and functions to guide the game ball to the starting port 9 and the special winning port 10 in the inclined state.

Further, the obstacle rods 15A of the obstacle rod groups 15 to 19 are provided.
Although the cross-sectional shapes of the １９19A and the obstacle bars 20 and 21 have been described as having a substantially U-shaped cross section, the present invention is not limited to this. The following describes an example of the obstacle bar 24 that can be used in place of the obstacle bar 16A. FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams showing modified examples of the obstacle bar. Referring to FIG. 3A, an obstacle bar 24 used in place of the obstacle bar 16A having a U-shaped cross section is
It has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The obstacle bar 24 has an upper surface 24
A and a round passing hole 25 penetrating the lower surface 24B are formed. The diameter of the passage hole 25 is set to a size through which a game ball can pass. The game ball that has reached the obstacle bar 24 moves along the upper surface 24A of the obstacle bar 24 and passes through the passage hole 2.
5 or fall down from both ends of the obstacle bar 24.

As shown in FIG. 3B, a cylindrical obstacle bar 26 having a square cross section can be used instead of the obstacle bar 16A having a U-shaped cross section. On the upper surface of the obstacle bar 26, for example, two through holes 27 through which a game ball can pass are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction,
On the lower surface of the obstacle bar 26, for example, three through holes 28 through which a game ball can pass are formed at intervals in the longitudinal direction. The space inside the obstacle bar 26 is set to a size that allows game balls to move back and forth. In addition, the passage hole 27,
The number of 28 may be the same or different. The game ball that has reached the obstacle bar 26 moves along the upper surface of the obstacle bar 26 and falls down from both ends of the obstacle bar 26 or enters the interior of the obstacle bar 26 through the passage hole 25.
The game ball that has entered the inside of the obstacle bar 26 moves back and forth inside the obstacle bar 26 and falls downward from the passage hole 28 or falls downward from both ends of the obstacle bar 26.

The obstacle bars 16A and 26 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (b) have both ends opened in the longitudinal direction, and the game balls move along the bottom plate 16B of the obstacle bar 16A. , And the game ball that has entered the inside of the obstacle bar 26 has been described as falling from both ends. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one of the ends may be closed, or both ends may be closed. May be adopted. In this case, a game ball moving along the bottom plate 16B of the obstacle bar 16A and a game ball entering the inside of the obstacle bar 26 fall from only the passage holes 23 and 28. Therefore, the obstacle bar 16
A, the game ball dropped from 26 is the obstacle bar 16A below,
26, which makes the flow of the game balls more random.

In the obstacle bars 18A and 19A, except for the top obstacle bar, the passage holes need not be formed in the obstacle bars 18A and 19A. The two modified examples have been described above, but the obstacle bar 16A may be a simple plate. Also, the obstacle rod 16A may have a curved surface instead of a flat surface for receiving a game ball. That is, it may be a bar-shaped one that is loosely curved. Furthermore, in the above description, the obstacle rods 15A of the first to fifth obstacle rod groups 15 to 19 are described.
-19A are described as having the same shape, but need not be the same shape. For example, the obstacle bar 15A of the first obstacle bar group 15 is shown in FIG.
FIG. 3A shows a shape as shown in FIG.
2 and the shapes of the obstacle bars 18A and 19A of the fourth and fifth obstacle bar groups 18 and 19 may be the shapes shown in FIG.

Further, the obstacle bar 16A of the second obstacle bar group 16 and the obstacle bar 17A of the third obstacle bar group 17 have different shapes, and the obstacle bar 18A of the fourth obstacle bar group 18 and the fifth obstacle bar group 1 have different shapes.
The nine obstacle bars 19A may have different shapes. Further, in each of the obstacle bar groups 15 to 19, the shape of the obstacle bar is
The shape may be different from other obstacle bars. further,
Although the obstacle bars 20 and 21 have been described as members having a U-shaped cross section, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), they may be formed in a rectangular parallelepiped or in a cylindrical shape having a quadrangular cross section. However, also in this case, the passage holes are not formed in the obstacle bars 20 and 21.

Further, each of the obstacle bars 15A to 19A, 2
Although 0 and 21 have been described as being made of a transparent member, the present invention is not limited to this. Next, the drive configuration of each obstacle bar will be described. FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams schematically illustrating a driving configuration of the first obstacle rod group 15. Each obstacle bar 15A of the first obstacle bar group 15 has a shaft 15B as a fulcrum, and is swingably mounted on the game board 2.
A line connecting the five shafts 15B forms, for example, a straight line extending in the vertical direction. Each of the obstacle bars 15A is connected to the long connecting member 3.
It is swingably connected by 0. Connecting member 30
Is mounted at a position spaced a predetermined distance to the right from the straight line R1 connecting the shaft 15B so as to be parallel to the straight line R1 connecting the shaft 15B. The connecting member 30 is attached after setting the obstacle bars 15A in a parallel state. The upper end of the connecting member 30 is connected to the output portion 32 of the solenoid 31, and when the output portion 32 of the solenoid 31 advances / enters, the connecting member 30 is slid in the longitudinal direction, that is, in the vertical direction. I have. In FIG. 4, the obstacle device 6A is constituted by the five obstacle bars 15A, the connecting member 30, and the solenoid 31.

Specifically, from the state shown in FIG.
When the output portion 32 of the solenoid 31 enters, the connecting member 3
0 slides upward, and each obstacle bar 15A is
As shown in (b), it rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 15B. When the output portion 32 of the solenoid 31 advances from the state shown in FIG. 4B, the connecting member 30 slides downward, and each obstacle bar 15A rotates clockwise about the shaft 15B. Thereby, each obstacle bar 1
5A can be swung in a state parallel to each other.

Next, the driving configuration of the second obstacle bar group 16 and the third obstacle bar group 17 will be described. 2nd obstacle bar group 16
Is the same as the driving configuration of the third obstacle bar group 17, the second obstacle bar group 16 will be described as an example. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the game board 2 for explaining the configuration of driving the second obstacle bar group 16. A round turntable 34 is rotatably fitted into the game board 2 in a front view. The obstacle bar 16A of the first obstacle bar group 16 is attached to the turntable 34 from the front. The four obstacle bars 16A are the rotating disc 3
4 is connected by a connecting member 35 attached from behind, and a driven gear 39 is attached to the connecting member 35 so as to be integrally rotatable. Behind the game board 2, a motor 36 [third capable of forward and reverse rotation]
In the obstacle bar 17a of the obstacle bar group 17, the motor 36a
(See FIG. 9)]. The motor 36 is arranged so that its output shaft 37 extends in the front-rear direction. An output gear 38 attached to an output shaft 37 of the motor 36 meshes with a driven gear 39, and the driving force of the motor 36 is transmitted to the driven gear 39. In FIG. 5, the obstacle device 6B is constituted by the four obstacle bars 16A, the connecting member 35, the driven gear 39, and the motor 36.

The forward rotation of the motor 36 causes the driven gear 39 to rotate, so that the turntable 34 rotates in one direction about the center 40 of the round turntable 34. Therefore,
The four obstacle bars 16A attached to the turntable 34 rotate about the center 40 of the turntable 34. When the motor 36 reverses, the four obstacle bars 16A rotate in opposite directions. The driving configuration of the second obstacle bar group 16 and the third obstacle bar group 17 is changed to the four obstacle bars 16.
A and 17A have been described as rotating integrally about the center 40 of the round turntable 34. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and each obstacle bar 16A, 17A, such as the first obstacle bar group 15, is provided.
A can be swung in parallel with each other. This example is shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).

Referring to FIGS. 6A and 6B, each obstacle bar 16A of the second obstacle bar group 16 has a shaft 16D as a fulcrum, and can swing on the game board 2. Installed. This drive configuration is similar to the drive configuration shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). A line connecting the four shafts 16D forms, for example, a straight line extending in the vertical direction. Connecting member 3
Reference numeral 0 is attached at a position spaced apart from the straight line R1 connecting the shaft 16D by a predetermined distance to the right so as to be parallel to the straight line R2 connecting the shaft 16D. In FIG. 6, four obstacle bars 1
6A, the connecting member 41 and the solenoid 42 constitute a failure device 6C. Output part 4 of solenoid 42
6, each obstacle bar 16A rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 16D as shown in FIG. 6B, and when the output unit 43 of the solenoid 42 advances, each obstacle bar 16A
Rotates clockwise about the shaft 16D. Thereby, each obstacle bar 16A can be swung in a mutually parallel state.

As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B,
The second obstacle bar group 16 can be swung so that adjacent obstacle bars 16A rotate in opposite directions. FIG. 7 is a rear view for explaining the drive configuration of the obstacle bar group 16 in which the adjacent obstacle bars 16A rotate in opposite directions. Referring to FIGS. 7A and 7B, a drive gear 46 is attached to the shaft 16D of the uppermost obstacle bar 16A so as to be integrally rotatable. An operation member 53 connected to the lower end of the connection member 50 is attached to the shaft 16D so as to be integrally rotatable. The upper end of the connecting member 50 is a solenoid 5
1 output unit 52. A first transmission gear 47 is attached to the shaft 16D of the second obstacle bar 16A from the top so as to be integrally rotatable. Third obstacle bar 1 from the top
The second transmission gear 48 is attached to the shaft 16D of the shaft 6D so as to be integrally rotatable.
, A third transmission gear 49 is attached so as to be integrally rotatable. A first transmission gear 47 is connected to the drive gear 46, and a second transmission gear 48 is connected to the first transmission gear 47.
And the third transmission gear 49 are serially drivingly connected in series. That is, the driving force of the solenoid 51 is transmitted to each obstacle rod 16A via the first drive gear 46, the first transmission gear 47, the second transmission gear 48, and the third transmission gear 49 in order. . 7, four obstacle bars 16A, gears 46 to 49, an operating member 53, and a connecting member 50 are shown.
And the solenoid 51 constitute a failure device 6D.

The outer diameter of the pitch circle of the first transmission gear 47 is set to about twice the outer diameter of the pitch circle of the drive gear 46.
The outer diameter of the pitch circle of the second transmission gear 48 to which the driving force of the solenoid 51 is transmitted via the second transmission gear 48 is set to be substantially equal to the outer diameter of the pitch circle of the driving gear 46. The outer diameter of the pitch circle of the third transmission gear 49 to which the driving force of the solenoid 51 is transmitted via the second transmission gear 48 is the first transmission gear 4
7 is set to be substantially the same as the pitch circle outer diameter.

When the output portion 52 of the solenoid 51 enters, the connecting member 50 attached to the shaft 16D of the uppermost obstacle bar 16A so as to be integrally rotatable is rotated clockwise [FIG.
(Counterclockwise direction shown in (b)). Along with this,
The drive gear 46 and the second transmission gear 48 rotate clockwise [counterclockwise in FIGS. 7A and 7B], and the first transmission gear 47 and the third transmission gear 49 rotate counterclockwise [FIG. 7
(A), (b). At this time, the third obstacle bar 16A from the top rotates at substantially the same speed as the top obstacle bar 16A, but the rotation speeds of the second and bottom obstacle bars 16A from the top are the highest. It rotates at approximately half the speed of the upper obstacle bar 16A.

On the other hand, when the output portion 52 of the solenoid 51 advances, the connecting member 50 attached to the shaft of the uppermost obstruction rod 16A so as to be integrally rotatable is counterclockwise [FIG.
(Clockwise direction shown in (b)). Along with this, the drive gear 46 and the second transmission gear 48 rotate counterclockwise [clockwise in FIGS. 7A and 7B, that is, in the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG. 7B]. The first transmission gear 47 and the third transmission gear 49 are clockwise [FIG.
(B), that is, in the direction opposite to the arrow in FIG. 7 (b)]. Also in this case, the third obstacle bar 16A from the top rotates at substantially the same speed as the top obstacle bar 16A, but the rotation speed of the second and bottom obstacle bars 16A from the top is It rotates at about half the speed of the top obstacle bar 16A.

Therefore, the output section 52 of the solenoid 51
, The second obstacle rod group 16 can be swung so that the adjacent obstacle rods 16A rotate in opposite directions, thereby making the flow of the game balls more random. Can be. Also, like this, obstacle bar 1
By changing the size of the gears 46 to 49 attached to 6A, the rotation speed of each obstacle bar 16A can be changed.
Thereby, the movement of the obstacle bar 16 </ b> A can be provided with interest, and the player can be concentrated on the board of the game board 2.

In this embodiment, the drive gear 46 and the second transmission gear 48 and the first and third transmission gears 49 have been described as having the same pitch circle outer diameter. It is also possible to make the pitch circle outer shape different from the pitch circle outer diameter of another transmission gear. Also, for example, the pitch circle outer diameters of one gear are set differently so that the pitch circle outer diameters of the first to third transmission gears 47 to 49 are substantially the same and only the pitch circle outer diameter of the drive gear 46 is different. The outer diameter of the pitch circle of the three gears can be made different.
Further, all the pitch circles have the same outer diameter, and each obstacle bar 1
The rotation speed of 6A can be constant.

In the above description, the adjacent obstacle bar 1
6A are pivoted so as to rotate in opposite directions. In FIG. 7, for example, by drivingly connecting a gear between arbitrary gears, the rotation direction of the obstacle rod connected thereafter is determined. Can be rotated in the opposite direction. Therefore, when the transmission gears are drivingly connected between all the gears, the rotation directions of all the obstacle bars 16A can be made the same. Further, instead of the operation member 53, the connecting member 50, and the solenoid 51, a motor that can rotate forward and backward may be used.

Next, the drive configuration of the fourth obstacle rod group 18 and the fifth obstacle rod group 19 will be described. 4th obstacle rod group 18
Is the same as that of the fifth obstacle rod group 19, and the fourth obstacle rod group 18 will be described as an example. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of driving the fourth obstacle rod group 18. FIG. 8A is a sectional view of a main part, and FIG.
FIG. 2A is a diagram viewed from a direction indicated by an arrow A. The obstacle bar 18A of the fourth obstacle bar group 18 slides in the longitudinal direction. The fourth obstacle bar group 18 is attached to the game board 2 from the front side.

The game board 2 is formed with three small windows 66 arranged side by side corresponding to the mounting position of each obstacle bar 18A.
An engaging portion 67 protrudes from the rear surface of each obstacle bar 18A, and the engaging portion 67 projects rearward of the game board 2 through the small window 66. Each of the obstacle bars 18A is slidable in the longitudinal direction, and the engagement portion 67 is brought into contact with the left and right sides of the small window 66 so that the sliding displacement of each obstacle bar 18A is regulated. A camshaft 62 is arranged behind the game board 2. The camshaft 62 has a drive shaft 64 extending vertically. The three cams 65 that engage with the engaging portions 67 of the three obstacle bars 18A are fixed to the drive shaft 64. Each of the cams 65 is fixed to the drive shaft 64 in an eccentric state in which the planar shape is an elliptical shape and in a state where the phases are shifted from each other.

In the game board 2, a fixed portion 69 is fixed to the rear surface of the game board 2 from behind, and a compression coil spring 70 is interposed between the fixed portion 69 and the engaging portion 67. .
By the compression coil spring 70, the engaging portion 67 is moved to the cam 65.
Side (the left side (the right side shown in FIG. 8B)). Thus, the engaging portion 67 is pressed against the cam 65. The motor 63 corresponds to the fourth obstacle rod group 18.
[In the obstacle bar 19a of the fifth obstacle bar group 19, the motor 6
3a (see FIG. 9)]. A drive gear 72 is attached to the output shaft 71 of the motor 63 so as to be integrally rotatable, and a gear 73 that is attached to the lower end of the drive shaft 64 of the camshaft 62 so as to be able to rotate integrally is engaged.

When the motor 63 is rotated, the driving gear 72
The drive shaft 64 of the camshaft 62 rotates with the rotation of the drive gear 72. When the camshaft 62 rotates, the cam 6 fixed eccentrically to the drive shaft 64
5 rotates. With the rotation of the drive shaft 64 of the camshaft 62, each obstacle bar 18A slides in the left-right direction at a constant speed. Since the three cams 65 that engage with the engaging portions 67 of the obstacle bars 18A are fixed to the drive shaft 64 in a state of being out of phase, the obstacle bars 18A of the fourth obstacle bar group 18 have different timings. Slide. Thereby, obstacle bar 1
8A can be interesting, and the player can concentrate on the game board 2.
The flow of the game balls received by the player becomes more random, which can attract the interest of the player.

Further, by rotating the motor 63 alternately in the normal and reverse directions within a predetermined range with the three cams 65 out of phase with the cam shaft 62 fixed to the drive shaft 64, an arbitrary obstacle bar is fixed. It is also possible to slide and displace other obstacle bars while maintaining the state. In the above description, the compression coil spring 70 directly and elastically urges the engaging portion 67 engaged with the cam 65. However, the compression coil spring 70 pushes the obstacle rod 18A to the cam 65 side. May be engaged with any part of the obstacle bar 18A as long as it is resiliently biased. Further, the compression coil spring 70 may be indirectly engaged with the obstacle bar 18A instead of directly. Further, although the compression coil spring 70 is used, the invention is not limited to the compression coil spring 70, and it goes without saying that other spring members can be used.

Although the description has been made assuming that each of the cams 65 has an elliptical shape in a front view, the shape of the cams 65 is not limited to these, and cams of other shapes can be used. Although the three cams 65 fixed to the drive shaft 64 have been described as having the same shape, the present invention is not limited to this, and cams having different shapes may be used. When an arbitrary cam has a different shape from other cams as described above, the obstacle rod group 1
In addition to making the timing of the slide displacement of each obstacle bar 18A of 8 different, the slide displacement speed of each obstacle bar 18A can be made different. In this case, the flow of the game balls received by the obstacle bar 18A becomes more random, thereby increasing the interest and attracting the player's interest.

The number of obstacle bars included in each of the obstacle bar groups 15 to 19 is not limited to the number described in the above description. FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine. This pachinko machine has CPU81, RO
A microcomputer including an M82, a RAM 83, and a random number counter 84 is provided. The CPU 81 is a ROM
The operation of each part of the pachinko machine is controlled in accordance with the program stored in 82, and the RAM 83 is used as a work area at this time. The random number counter 84 is used for a lottery for determining whether or not to execute a special game advantageous to the player, and repeatedly counts a plurality of predetermined numerical values at a fixed end.

The CPU 81 has a starting port 9 and a special winning port 1
0, a starting port 9 sensor 86, a large winning port sensor 87, and a normal winning port sensor 88 provided in association with the normal winning ports 12 and 13, respectively. Each sensor 86 to 88
Are configured to output signals in response to the passage of game balls, and output signals from the sensors 86 to 88 are provided to the CPU 81. The CPU 81 further includes a symbol display 8, an opening / closing plate 11, a solenoid 3
1. Each motor 36, 36A, 63, 63A, 63B and a prize ball payout device 89 for paying out a prize ball are connected. The CPU 81 determines the result of the lottery and the respective sensors 8
6 to 88, the symbol display 8, the open / close plate 11, the solenoid 31, the motors 36, 36A, 63,
The operation of 63A, 63B and the award ball payout device 89 is controlled.

In the special game, the CPU 81 controls the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing plate 11 to open the special winning opening 10 for about 30 seconds or until about 10 game balls enter, and the game entering during the opening. At least one of the balls has a winning opening 1
If the player passes through a special area (so-called V zone) within 0, a special game is executed in which the operation of opening the special winning opening 10 once and then reopening the special winning opening 10 up to 16 times is performed. In addition, the CPU 81 controls the prize ball payout device 89 to cause a predetermined number of prize balls to be paid out when a game ball enters the special winning opening 10.

When the game ball does not pass through the special area (V zone) in the special winning opening 10 while the special winning opening 10 is opened, or the opening operation of the special winning opening 10 by the opening and closing plate 11 is performed 16 times. , The special game ends. The special game mode is divided into, for example, a three-stage mode, and a special game state according to the determined symbol is executed. When the determined symbol is the first specific symbol (for example, “333” or “777”), a first special gaming state that is extremely advantageous for the player occurs. When the determined symbol is the second specific symbol (for example, “111” or “555”), a second special game state advantageous to the player occurs,
When the determined symbol is not the first specific symbol or the second specific symbol, a third special game state that is somewhat advantageous to the player (less advantageous than the second special game state) occurs.

The symbol displayed on the symbol display 8 is, for example, a combination of three numbers (0 to 9). For example, if the result of the jackpot lottery is a jackpot, the CPU 8
The symbol (big hit symbol) in which all three numbers are the same is determined by 1, and the big hit symbol is displayed on the symbol display 8. If the determination result is a loss, a symbol (a loss symbol) in which at least one numeral is different from the remaining numerals is displayed on the symbol display 8. This allows the player to recognize whether the result of the random number lottery is a jackpot or a miss.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a game (game) flow in this pachinko machine. The game in the pachinko machine is started by turning the handle 3 by an appropriate angle and firing a game ball from the ball firing device toward the game board 2. The operation of the obstacle bar groups 15 to 19 and the obstacle bars 20, 21 is started in conjunction with the start of the game. The first obstacle bar group 15 includes, for example, each obstacle bar 15A.
Swing in parallel with each other between a posture tilted by about 10 ° so that the right side of the obstacle bar becomes lower and a posture tilted by about 10 ° so that the right side of each obstacle bar 15A becomes lower. Also, the second
The third obstacle bar group 16, 17 is tilted, for example, by about 30 ° so that the left side of each obstacle bar 16 </ b> A is lower about the center 40 of the turntable 34.
It rotates repeatedly between, for example, a posture inclined by about 30 ° so that the right side of A becomes lower. The obstacle bars 18A and 19A of the fourth obstacle bar group 18 and the fifth obstacle bar group 19 slide and displace within a predetermined range. The obstruction bar 20 swings between a substantially horizontal posture and a posture inclined about 20 ° so that the right side is lowered, for example. Swing between a 20 ° tilted position.

If a game ball enters the starting port 9 during this game (YES in step S1), the processing described below is started. When a game ball enters the starting port 9 and a signal is given from the starting port sensor 86 to the CPU 81, the CPU 8
A lottery for determining whether or not to execute a special game advantageous to the player according to 1 is performed (step S2). That is, the CPU 81 responds to the signal input from the starting port sensor 86 and responds to the signal
Read the count value of 4. Then, it checks whether the read count value is a count value relating to a prize or a count value relating to a non-prize, and if they match, decides a prize, otherwise decides a non-prize. I do.
In this embodiment, the processing in step S2 corresponds to the function of the lottery execution means.

In parallel with the lottery, the prize ball payout device 8
9 is controlled, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out when the game balls enter the starting port 9. further,
The display of the symbol display 8 starts to fluctuate in response to the game ball entering the starting port 9. When the result of the random number lottery is a jackpot (YES in step S3), the CPU 81
Then, the CPU 81 determines whether or not a display (reach notification display) relating to a notification (a so-called reach notification) for notifying in advance that reach will be made with a predetermined probability is made on the symbol display 8 by the CPU 81. A lottery for determining whether or not is performed (step S2). If the CPU 81 determines to perform so-called reach notification (YES in step S4), a predetermined reach notification display is displayed on the symbol display 8, and the rotation of the second obstacle bar group 16 is continued for two seconds thereafter. The operation is stopped (step S5). By stopping the rotation of the obstacle bar group 16 in association with the reach notification display of the symbol display 8, the player can be concentrated on the game board 2, and the player's interest can be attracted.

After the fluctuation operation of the symbol display 8 is continued for an appropriate time, a reach display is performed on the symbol display 8 (step S6). Then, after the reach display is made on the symbol display device 8, the CPU 81 determines the CPU 81 based on the result of the lottery.
Is displayed on the symbol display 8 (step S7), and a special game is executed. During execution of the special game, the modes of the obstacle bar groups 15 to 19 and the modes of the obstacle bars 20 and 21 are different based on the symbols displayed on the symbol display 8. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the special game.

The symbol displayed on the symbol display 8 is "33".
3 ”and“ 777 ”(YE in step T1).
S), the second obstacle rod group 16 is tilted by about 30 ° so that the game balls reaching the obstacle rod group 16 are guided to the special winning opening 10, for example, each obstacle rod 16A is raised on the right side. Fixed to In addition, the obstacle bar 17A of the third obstacle bar group 17
Is fixed in a posture inclined by about 30 ° so that the left side of each obstacle bar 17A is raised, for example, so that the game ball reaching the obstacle bar 17A is guided to the special winning opening 10 (see FIG. 12). Then, the sliding displacement of the obstacle bars 18A, 19A of the fourth and fifth obstacle rod groups 18, 19 stops (step T2). At this time, the uppermost obstacle bars 18A and 19A stop at a position retracted from above the starting port 9.

Further, the obstacle bar 20 is also fixed to a posture inclined by, for example, about 20 ° so that the right side thereof is lowered so that the game ball reaching the obstacle bar 20 is guided to the special winning opening 10. In order to guide the game ball that has reached the obstacle bar 21 to the special winning opening 10, the game ball is fixed to a posture inclined, for example, by about 20 ° so that the left side is lowered (step T2). Therefore, game balls flowing on the game board 2 are easier to enter than in the normal game state. The symbol displayed on the symbol display 8 is "11".
1 ”and“ 555 ”(YE in step T3).
S), the obstacle rods 18A, 19A of the obstacle rod groups 18, 19 are:
The uppermost obstacle bars 18A, 19A stop at the position retracted from above the starting port 9, but the obstacle bars 15A, 16A of the obstacle bar groups 15, 16 are operated in the same manner as in the normal game state. At the same time, as in the case of step S2, the obstacle 2
0 is fixed to a posture tilted, for example, about 20 ° so that the right side is lowered, and the obstacle bar 21 is also fixed to a posture tilted, for example, about 20 ° so that the left side is lowered (step T4).

For this reason, when the symbols displayed on the symbol display 8 are "111" and "555", game balls flowing on the game board 2 are more likely to enter than in the normal game state. However, in this case, the probability of entering the special winning opening 10 is lower than when the symbols displayed on the symbol display 8 are “333” and “777”. When the symbol displayed on the symbol display device 8 is not any of "111", "333", "555", and "777" (NO in step T3), the obstacle bar 20 is lower on the right side as in step S2. Is fixed, for example, at an angle of about 20 ° so that the obstacle rod 2
1 is also fixed in a posture inclined by, for example, about 20 ° so that the left side becomes lower (step T5). Also, with this,
Obstacle rods 18A, 1 of the fourth and fifth obstacle rod groups 18, 19
9A is slid in the left-right direction at a slide displacement speed lower than the slide displacement speed in the normal game state.

Therefore, game balls flowing on the game board 2 are more likely to enter than in the normal game state. But in this case,
The probability of entering the special winning opening 10 is even lower than when the symbols displayed on the symbol display 8 are “111” and “555”. When the game ball does not pass through the special area (V zone) in the special winning opening 10 while the special winning opening 10 is opened, or when the opening operation of the special winning opening 10 by the opening and closing plate 11 is performed 16 times, the special game is performed. Is completed, and then a probability change process of changing the probability of determining the jackpot in the next and subsequent jackpot lotteries is executed (step S9).

In the probability changing process, the probability of a big hit in the random number lottery (big hit probability) is changed to a predetermined high probability from the end of the special game until the next special game is executed. Further, as a result of the lottery, a random number lottery based on the changed random number value may be performed based on the symbol displayed on the symbol display 8. In this probability changing process, the obstacle bar 20 is fixed to a posture inclined by about 20 ° so that the right side thereof is lowered, for example, so that the game ball reaching the obstacle bar 20 is guided to the starting port 9. In order to guide the game ball reaching the obstacle bar 21 to the starting port 9, for example, the game ball is fixed at an angle of about 20 ° so that the left side is lowered. Therefore, the game balls received by the obstacles 20 and 21 are guided to the starting port 9. When a game ball enters the starting port 9, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out, so that the number of balls held by the player does not easily decrease.

By the probability changing process, the change of the jackpot probability is achieved, and it is determined from the next random number lottery until the random number lottery is performed a predetermined number of times based on the changed jackpot random number value. Will be. After these probability changing processes are completed, this process is returned. When the result of the random number lottery is out of order (NO in step S3), when the reach notification display is performed, a predetermined reach notification display is displayed on the symbol display 8 and the obstacle rod group 16 is displayed for two seconds. The rotation is stopped (steps S11 and S12). When the reach display is performed, the reach display is performed on the symbol display device 8 (step S).
13, 14). After the reach display is performed on the symbol display 8 or after the reach display is not performed and the fluctuation operation of the symbol display 8 is continued for an appropriate time, the deviation determined by the CPU 81 based on the result of the random number lottery. The symbol is displayed on the symbol display 8 (step S15). Then, this processing is returned.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in the special game mode, the mode of the obstacle rod groups 16 to 19 and the obstacle rods 20 and 21 is such that the game ball reaching the obstacle rod group 16 has the special winning opening 10. Game board 2
The game balls flowing above can be easily entered as compared with the normal game state. In addition, the game balls on the game board 2 enter the special winning opening 10 by dividing the mode of the obstacle bar groups 16 to 19 and the obstacle bars 20 and 21 in the special game mode into three stages in accordance with the special game mode. The degree can be set according to each mode. Thereby, the interest of a game (game) can be improved.

Further, in connection with the reach notification display,
By stopping the rotation of the obstacle bar group 16, it is possible to more effectively notify the player that the reach is achieved with a predetermined probability. Therefore, the player can be concentrated on the game board 2, and the interest of the player can be attracted. The special game mode is divided into three stages, and the mode of the obstacle bar groups 16 to 19 and the obstacle bars 20 and 21 is changed for each mode. It may not be relevant.

When the reach notification is displayed, the obstacle bar group 1 is displayed.
6 is fixed, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, the other obstacle bar group 16 or the obstacle bar group 17 is rotated all around in one direction, or the rotation speed of the obstacle bar group 16 or the obstacle bar group 17 is increased. You can also. FIG. 13 is a front view of a pachinko machine according to another embodiment of the present invention.

A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out when the game balls enter the starting port 9. If the result of the random number lottery is a jackpot (YES in step E3), then C
A lottery is performed by the PU 81 to determine whether or not a so-called big hit notification for notifying a big hit with a predetermined probability is made (step E4). CPU8
If it is determined to perform so-called jackpot notification by 1 (YES in step E4), the obstacle rod groups 131 to 131
At least one obstacle bar group out of 133 is rotated in one direction while being colored in a predetermined color, and a big hit is notified (step E5). The mode of each of the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 at the time of the so-called big hit notification will be described later in detail.

After the so-called big hit notification is given or when the big hit notification is not given, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the indicator lamp 141a at the left end of the decoration display 141 is displayed.
From the right to the right, the seven indicator lights 141a to 141g up to the second indicator light 141g from the right are turned on, and two indicator lamps 142a from the left end of the jackpot indicator 142 from the right. The three display lights 142a up to the third ("ta" shown in FIG. 16) display light 142c
The reach is informed by turning on .about.142c (step E6).

Decoration display 141 and jackpot display 1
After the reach is notified by 42, from this reach notification state, the right end 141h of the decoration indicator 141 and the indicator lamp 142d at the right end of the big hit indicator 142 ("R" shown in FIG. 23) are turned on, and the level meter is turned on. Display 14
All the indicator lights 144 of No. 3 are turned on to notify the jackpot (step E7), and a special game is executed (step E8). FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing the flow of control during a special game.

During the execution of the special game, the sixth obstacle bar group 131 sets the obstacle bars 131A of each obstacle bar 131 such that the game ball reaching the obstacle bar group 131 is guided to the special winning opening 10. The obstacle rods 132 of the seventh obstacle rod group 132 are fixed in a posture inclined about 30 ° so that the right side thereof is lowered.
A is fixed in a horizontal state. 8th obstacle bar group 13
For example, the obstacle bars 133 </ b> A of the third obstacle bar 13 </ b> A guide the game balls reaching the obstacle bar group 133 to the special winning opening 10.
The left side is fixed in a posture inclined by 30 ° so as to lower 3A [step P1, see FIG. 26 (a)].

Further, the obstacle bars 20 and 21 are raised by about 2 so that the right side or the left side is lower, as in step S10 of FIG.
It is fixed at a posture inclined at 0 °. During the opening of the special winning opening 10A, that is, for example, if the game ball does not pass through the special area (V zone) in the special winning opening 10A within 30 seconds, the special game mode ends, but during the execution of the special game mode. The remaining time of the 30 seconds is notified by the level meter display 143.

Specifically, all 15 indicator lights 144 of the level meter display 143 are turned off in connection with the start of the special game, and each indicator lamp 144 is turned from the right end to the left every 2 seconds. It lights up sequentially (step P2). Since the remaining time until the end of the special game is always notified to the player, the playability can be further improved. Whether the game ball does not pass through the special area (V zone) in the special winning opening 10A during opening of the special winning opening 10A, for example, within 30 seconds (step P3),
When the opening operation of 0A is performed 16 times, the special game mode ends.

Referring again to FIG. 20, after the end of the special game mode, a probability changing process of changing the probability of determining the jackpot in the next and subsequent jackpot lotteries is executed (step E9). The probability changing process is a probability (a big hit probability) that a big hit occurs in this random number lottery from the end of the special game mode until the next special game is executed.
Is changed to a predetermined high probability.

During the probability changing process, as in step S9 in FIG.
It is fixed in a posture that tilts downward by 0 °, and the obstacle bar 21 also
For example, the posture is fixed such that the left side is inclined downward by 20 ° (step E10). Further, the sixth obstacle bar group 131, the seventh obstacle bar group 132, the eighth obstacle bar group 133, and the sixth obstacle bar group 131 are alternately turned on (step E1).
0). After the probability change processing is completed, this processing is returned.

When the result of the random number lottery is unsuccessful (NO in step E3), a lottery is thereafter performed by the CPU 81 to determine whether or not so-called big hit notification is to be performed, and when it is determined to perform so-called big hit notification. , At least one of the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 is rotated in one direction while being colored in a predetermined color, and a big hit is notified (steps E11 and E12). After the so-called big hit notification is given, or when the big hit notification is not given, the reach is notified after a predetermined time has elapsed (steps E13 and E14). After the reach notification or when the reach is not notified, at least the right end indicator lamp 141g of the decoration indicator 141 and the right end indicator lamp 142d of the jackpot indicator 142 are kept off, and the level meter indicator is displayed. At least the leftmost display lamp 144 of the 143 display lamps 144 is kept off, and a disconnection is displayed (step E1).
5). Then, this processing is returned.

Next, each obstacle bar group 131 at the time of the big hit announcement
To 133 will be described in detail. Whether or not to perform the jackpot notification is determined, for example, by random number lottery. The jackpot notification mode is divided into a plurality (for example, 18 types), and the probability (reliability) of a jackpot is determined according to each mode. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the flow of control of the jackpot notification display. Only a predetermined obstacle bar group among the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 rotates in one direction while coloring in two seconds (step Q1).
Which of the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 is to be rotated is based on the reliability. For example, when the reliability is less than 10%, only the obstacle bar group 131 rotates in one direction (for example, clockwise) while coloring. At this time, the other two obstacle rod groups 132 and 133
Are fixed horizontally and do not develop color. FIG. 26B shows the state of the obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 at this time.

When the reliability is 10% or more and less than 30%, only the obstacle bar group 132 is rotated in one direction while coloring, and when the reliability is 30% or more and less than 50%, the obstacle bar group 132 is rotated. Only 133 rotates in one direction while developing color. In addition, the reliability is 50% or more and 70
%, The CPU 81 determines that the sixth obstacle bar group 1
When the reliability is 70% or more and less than 90%, the sixth obstacle rod group 131 and the eighth obstacle rod group 133 are unidirectionally rotating while the 31 and the seventh obstacle rod groups 132 are colored in one direction. To rotate. Furthermore, when the reliability is 85% or more, all of the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 are configured to rotate and develop color. Table 1 summarizes aspects of the obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 and combinations of the degrees of reliability based on the aspects.

[0132]

[Table 1]

As described above, by rotating the obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 in one direction, the player can be concentrated on the game board 2, and the player's interest can be attracted. In addition, by coloring the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133, the interest is increased, and the interest of the player can be further attracted. In addition, since the number of rotating obstacle bars increases in accordance with the increase in the reliability, it is possible to effectively notify the player of the probability of a big hit.

When the mode of the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 has a reliability of 70% or more (YE in step Q2).
S) After the rotation of the obstacle rod groups 131 to 133, the obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 are set to a predetermined mode in order to notify the player in advance that the jackpot will be a big hit with a predetermined probability (step Q3). . This embodiment is divided into the embodiment I and the embodiment II. In the mode I, as shown in FIG. 26A, the sixth obstacle bar group 131 is fixed in a posture inclined by, for example, about 30 ° so that each of the obstacle bars 131A is lower on the right side. The bar group 132 is fixed with each obstacle bar 132 being horizontal. The eighth obstacle bar group 133 is
Each obstacle bar is fixed in a posture inclined at, for example, about 30 ° so that the left side of the obstacle bar is lowered. In this case, the sixth to eighth obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 have an overall shape of an arch shape whose central portion is convex upward, and the player looks angry.

In the embodiment II, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), the sixth obstacle bar group 131 is fixed in a posture inclined by, for example, about 30 ° so that each of the obstacle bars 131A is lower on the left side. The seventh obstacle bar group 132 is fixed with each obstacle bar 132 being horizontal. The eighth obstacle bar group 133 is
Each obstacle bar is fixed in a posture inclined at, for example, about 30 ° so that the right side of the obstacle bar is lowered. In this case, the sixth to eighth obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 have an arch shape in which the central portion is convex downward at the center, and the player looks laughing.

Whether the mode I or the mode II is selected depends on whether the sixth to eighth obstacle rod groups 13 by random number lottery described above are selected.
It is determined by further performing a random number lottery based on the modes 1 to 133. 6th to 8th obstacle rod groups 131-1
For example, when the aspect of 33 is an aspect corresponding to a reliability of 70% or more and less than 85%, an aspect of I is selected with a probability of 70%, and an aspect of II is selected with a probability of 30%. . Further, when the aspect of the sixth to eighth obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 is, for example, an aspect corresponding to a reliability of 85% or more and less than 95%, an aspect of I is selected with a probability of 30% and a probability of 70% Selects the mode of II. Furthermore, when the modes of the sixth to eighth obstacle rod groups 131 to 133 have the reliability of 95% or more, the random number lottery is not performed and the mode becomes II.

As described above, the probability of adopting the mode II increases with an increase in the degree of reliability. Therefore, when each obstacle bar group is in the mode II, the player has a high probability of winning a jackpot. Can be recognized. Table 2 below shows a combination of the reliability and the selection probability of selecting either the I or II mode.

[0138]

[Table 2]

When the reliability is less than 70% (NO in step Q2), each of the failed rod groups 131 to 133 performs a normal operation (step Q4). As described above, according to the embodiment of FIG. 18, the so-called jackpot notification is performed by the obstacle bar groups 131 to 133 in which three game balls are arranged side by side on the game board 2 in the left-right direction, and the display 141 to Since the notification of the reach and the big hit can be performed by 143, even if the symbol display is omitted, the player can be well notified of the game state.

Since the obstacle bars 133A to 133C are colored, it is possible to notify the player of a game state such as a special game. In this case, since the obstacle bars 133A to 133C for receiving the game balls can be colored to notify the game state, the players can be more concentrated on the game board 2. Although the indicator lamp 144 of the level meter indicator 143 is described as being sequentially lit from the rightmost indicator lamp 144 to the left, the indicator lamp 144 may be sequentially lit from the leftmost indicator lamp 144 to the right. Of course.

In the above description, the notification of the reach and the notification of the jackpot are performed by the three indicators 141 to 143. However, the number of the indicators for notifying the reach and the notification of the jackpot is not limited to this. Not 1
There may be one or two indicators, or four or more indicators. Also, three obstacle rod groups 131 to 1 arranged in the left-right direction in the center area of the game board 2 in the up-down direction.
The notification of the reach and the notification of the jackpot may be performed by using 33. Further, the notification of the reach and the notification of the jackpot may be performed by separate indicators.

Further, the sixth to eighth obstacle rod groups 131 to 13
3 has been described as being fixed in a predetermined mode after the rotation has been formed. However, a so-called jackpot notification may be displayed only by the rotation, or may be fixed in the I or II mode. The jackpot notification may be displayed simply by being performed. Further, the mode of the obstacle bar group is not limited to Tables 1 and 2.
For example, a big hit may be notified only by rotation of the obstacle stick groups 131 to 133, or a big hit may be notified only by coloring of the obstacle stick groups 131 to 133.

Further, in the above description, control of so-called big hit notification for notifying in advance that a big hit has a predetermined probability has been described. Can be used. In addition, three kinds of LEDs 135
a, 135b and 135c are arranged, and the obstacle bar 131A is 3
Although it has been described that the color is developed, the color may be developed into two or less colors, or the color may be developed into four or more colors.

In this embodiment, the obstacle rods 131A to 133A of the sixth to eighth obstacle rod groups are colored, but each of the first, fourth, and fifth obstacle rod groups 15, 18, and 19 is colored. The obstacle bars 15A, 18A and 19A and the obstacle bars 20 and 21 may have the same configuration, and may be colored. Further, it goes without saying that a colored obstacle bar can be used in a pachinko machine using a symbol display as shown in the embodiment of FIG.
