2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called second-type pachinko machine has been known as this kind of pachinko machine. The second-type pachinko machine has a starting port on a game board, and when a game ball passes through the starting port, a movable member of a variable winning device provided on the game board performs an opening operation, and is formed by the opening operation. It has a function that a game ball can be easily won from the opened opening. In addition, when a game ball winning from an opening formed by opening the movable member passes through a special area provided inside the variable winning device, a state in which the game ball can be more easily won than when the game ball passes through a starting port. It becomes a game state in which the movable member operates. Three starting ports are provided in the lower part of the game board in the horizontal direction, and when a game ball passes through one of the left and right starting ports, the movable member opens and closes once to play the game through the central starting port. When the ball passes, the movable member opens and closes twice. The opening time of the movable member is set to be longer when the game ball passes through the center starting port than when the game ball passes through one of the right and left starting ports.

Here, when a symbol displayed fluctuating is stopped at a predetermined symbol, a big hit occurs. Some so-called first class pachinko machines have a big hit when a big hit occurs. When the symbol is a predetermined symbol, the next game after the end of the big hit becomes a game due to a shortened time (the time from the start of the change to the stop of the symbol is shorter than usual) or a certain change (the probability of the occurrence of the big hit is There is a game that can give a specific benefit to a player, for example, a game due to a change to a higher probability than usual). But,
As described above, in the so-called second-type pachinko machines, when the game in which the game ball passes through the special area is completed, the game simply returns to the normal game, and the pleasure after the end of the big hit like the first-type pachinko machine is provided. However, there is a problem that it is not interesting because it does not exist. Also, as described above, the number of times and the opening time of the movable member are uniquely determined depending on which starting port the game ball has passed, and the operation of the movable member is patterned and has little change, so that the game is monotonous. There is also a problem that it will become. In particular, since the opening time of the movable member is set to be longer in the central starting port than in the left and right starting ports, a gauge arrangement that makes it difficult to win a prize than the left and right starting ports is provided. Further, the right starting port is harder to aim because the distance from the firing position is farther than the left starting port.
For this reason, the player shoots the game ball only at the left starting port, which is easy to aim and relatively easy to win, and the game is monotonous, so that there is a problem of lack of interest. Also, originally, many pachinko machines have a large device near the center of the game board, almost symmetrically gauge,
It is designed so that a game can be enjoyed in a wide range of the game board by providing a windmill, a winning opening, and the like, but the right half of the game board is not used in the above-described situation.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and can be more interesting.

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.

When the rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a and the rising portion 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b are both located on the rear side. In this case, as shown in FIG. 7 (B), there is a probability that the game balls P which have flowed down the downflow path B or the downflow path C (FIG. 6 (A)) are prevented from flowing down by the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2. Get higher. In addition, the game ball P in contact with the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 rolls along the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 because the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 are formed in an arc shape, respectively, and is indicated by a broken line in FIG. 7B. Thus, the probability of staying at the center between the left rotating body 39a and the right rotating body 39b is high. When the left rotating body 39a rotates counterclockwise and the right rotating body 39b rotates clockwise, the rising portion 3
9a2 moves to the left, and the rising portion 39b2 moves to the right, so that the staying game balls P pass through the downflow path H (FIG. 6A). At this time, the probability of passing through the special area 45 is high, and the probability of passing through the general area 46 is low.

When the rising portion 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a and the rising portion 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b are both located on the front side. 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 raised 39a2 or 39b.
2 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 the right rotator 39b is received by the rising portion 39b2, the game ball P falls from the right side of the right rotator 39b because the right rotator 39b rotates clockwise. Therefore, the probability that the game ball P passes through the general area 46 is high,
The probability of passing 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.

FIG. 9B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a configuration of an opening / closing pattern determination table used in a normal game, and FIG. 9B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a configuration of an opening / closing pattern determination table used in a game after a big hit. As shown in FIG. 9A, the open / close pattern determination table used in the normal game includes a right start port table 114a and a left start port table 114b, each of which corresponds to a predetermined range of random numbers and an open / close pattern. It is configured with
The right starting table 114a and the left starting table 114b have an A pattern for random numbers 0 to 10, a B pattern for random numbers 11 to 20, and a random number 21 to
75 is associated with a C pattern, and random numbers 76 to 100 are associated with a D pattern. That is, when the game ball passes the right starting port 81 in the normal game, the main CPU 112 selects (lottery) one random number from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100, and refers to the right starting port table 114a. Then, an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected. Further, when the game ball passes through the left starting port 82, the main CPU 112 selects (lottery) one random number from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100, refers to the left starting port table 114b, and Select the open / close pattern corresponding to the selected random number.

As shown in FIG. 9B, the open / close pattern determination table used in the game after the end of the big hit is
It is composed of a table 114c for the right starting port and a table 114d for the left starting port, each of which is configured so that a random number in a predetermined range is associated with an opening / closing pattern. The table 114c for the right starting port has a pattern A for random numbers 0 to 30, a pattern B for random numbers 31 to 40, a pattern C for random numbers 41 to 75, and a pattern D for random numbers 76 to 100. Are associated with each other. The table 114d for the left starting port has an A pattern for random numbers 0 to 10, a B pattern for random numbers 11 to 20, a C pattern for random numbers 21 to 75, and a D pattern for random numbers 76 to 100. Are associated with each other. That is, when the game ball passes through the right starting port 81 in the game after the end of the big hit, the main CPU 112 selects (lottery) one random number from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100, and the right starting port table 114c. , And select an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number. Also, the main CP
U112, when the game ball passes through the left starting port 82,
One random number is selected (lottery) from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100, and an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected with reference to the left starting table 114d. 9 (A) and 9 (B), a comparison is made between the tables for the right starting port and the tables for the right starting port 11 used in the normal game.
4a, the opening / closing pattern A or B is selected when random numbers 0 to 20 are selected, and the opening / closing pattern A or B is selected when the random numbers 0 to 40 are selected in the right starting table 114c used in the game after the end of the big hit. It can be seen that B is selected. That is, when the game ball passes through the right starting port 81, the probability of selecting the opening / closing pattern A or B in the game after the end of the big hit is twice as high as in the normal game.

(Opening / Closing Pattern) Next, the opening / closing patterns A to D of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are shown in FIG.
0 will be described. FIG. 10A shows the opening / closing pattern A.
FIG. 10B is a timing chart showing the opening / closing pattern B, and FIG.
10C is a timing chart showing the opening / closing pattern C, and FIG. 10D is a timing chart showing the opening / closing pattern D. In each of the drawings, at T0, an opening pattern is determined from the timing at which the game ball has passed through the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82, and the type of the opening pattern is displayed on the display devices 81a and 82a. Time, for example, 0.2 seconds.

As shown in FIG. 10A, the opening / closing pattern A is opened for T2 hours after the lapse of T0 and T1, closed for T3 hours after opening, opened for T4 hours after closing, and opened for T5 hours after opening. This is a closing pattern. That is, T3
Open twice a day. In this embodiment, T1 =
0.5 seconds, T2 = 0.9 seconds, T3 = 0.3 seconds, T4 =
0.9 seconds, T5 = 0.5 seconds, T6 = 3.3 seconds, and the open times T2 and T4 are the same time. As shown in FIG. 10 (B), the opening / closing pattern B is a pattern in which the opening is performed for T2 after the lapse of T0 and T1, the closing is performed for T3 after opening, the opening is performed for T4 after closing, and the closing is performed for T5 after opening. It is. That is, it is opened twice with the time T3 interposed therebetween. In this embodiment, T1 = 0.5 seconds, T2 =
0.5 seconds, T3 = 0.3 seconds, T4 = 0.5 seconds, T5 =
0.5 seconds, T6 = 2.5 seconds, and open time T2
And T4 are the same time, but 0.4 seconds (= 0.9−0.5) shorter than the opening / closing pattern A.

As shown in FIG. 10C, the opening / closing pattern C is a pattern that is opened for T2 after the lapse of T0 and T1, and closed for T3 after the opening. That is, it is opened only once for T2 time. In this embodiment, T1 = 0.4
Seconds, T2 = 0.9 seconds, T3 = 0.4 seconds, T6 = 1.9 seconds. As shown in FIG. 10D, the opening / closing pattern D is a pattern that is opened for T2 after the lapse of T0 and T1, and closed for T3 after opening. That is, it is opened only once for T2 time. In this embodiment, T1 = 0.4
Seconds, T2 = 0.5 seconds, T3 = 0.4 seconds, T6 = 1.5 seconds, and the release time T2 is 0.4 seconds (= 0.9−0.5) longer than the release pattern C. short. From the above, it can be seen that the winning probability decreases in order from the opening / closing patterns A to D. Further, as described above, as for the right starting port table, the right starting port table 114c (FIG. 9B) used in the game after the end of the big hit is the right starting port table 114a (FIG. 9B) used in the normal game. 9 (A)), the probability that the opening / closing pattern A or B is selected is twice as high. Therefore, in the game after the end of the big hit, the player can play a game with a higher winning probability than the normal game. it can.

(Starting Port Processing) Next, the main CPU 112
Will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 13 showing the flow of the start-up process executed in S20 of FIG. When the game ball fired by the player passes through the right starting port 81 (FIG. 2), the right starting port switch 81b (FIG. 8) is turned on, and the switching signal is sent to the input port of the main CPU 112 mounted on the main board 100. The main CPU 112 detects that the game ball has passed through the right starting port 81 (S22: Yes). Then the main CP
If U112 determines that the number R of stored right-hand opening passages stored in the RAM 116 is less than four (S24:
Yes), “1” is added to the right start opening passage storage number R (S26). Subsequently, when the main CPU 112 captures the switching signal from the left starting port switch 82b and detects that the game ball has passed through the left starting port 82 (S2).
8: Yes), it is determined whether or not the number L of stored left-start-port passages stored in the RAM 116 is less than 4 (S3).
0), when the number L of stored left-start-port passages is less than 4 (S
30: Yes), "1" is added to the left starting opening passage storage number L (S32). Thereafter, the main CPU 112 proceeds to S22
Steps S32 to S32 are repeatedly performed to detect that the game ball has passed through the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82, and add the right starting port passing storage number R or the left starting port passing storage number L.

(Opening / closing member control) Next, the main CPU 11
2 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 14 and 15 showing the flow of the opening / closing member control executed in S40 of FIG. The main CPU 112
With reference to AM 116, it is determined whether or not the right starting opening passage storage number R is equal to or more than “1”, that is, whether or not a detection result indicating that the game ball has passed the right starting opening 81 remains (FIG. 14 (S42), if the detection result remains (S42).
42: Yes), one random number is selected from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100 (S44). Then, the main CPU 11
When the selected random number is one of 0 to 10 (S46: Yes), the command A for operating the right opening / closing member 31 in the opening / closing pattern A (FIG. 10A) is set to the right. The signal is output to the open / close member solenoid 31b (FIGS. 4 and 8) (S48). The display device 81 of the right starting port 81
“a” is displayed in “a”.

Thus, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f
Is turned on for T2 time after the lapse of (T0 time + T1 time), and the right open / close member 31 and the left open / close member 32 are each moved laterally for T2 time (a state protruding laterally from the housing 30a). Thereby, the special winning opening 31
a, 32a are opened respectively, and the special winning opening 31a,
From 32a, it is easy to win. Subsequently, after the lapse of the time T2, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned off for the time T3.
Then, the right opening and closing member 31 and the left opening and closing member 32 return to their original positions at the time T3, respectively, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are closed. Subsequently, after a lapse of time T3, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned on for a time T4, and the right opening / closing member 31 is turned on.
The left openable member 32 and the left openable member 32 respectively move in the horizontal direction for the time T2, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are opened again. After the elapse of time T4, the solenoid 3 for the opening / closing member 3

If the random number selected in S44 is not 0 to 10 (S46:
No), it is determined whether or not the random number is one of 11 to 20 (S50). If it is any of 11 to 20 (S50: Yes), the right opening / closing member 31 and the left A command B for operating the opening / closing member 32 in the opening / closing pattern B (FIG. 10B) is transmitted to the opening / closing member solenoid 30.
f (FIGS. 4 and 8) (S52). Note that “B” is displayed on the display device 81a of the right starting port 81. As a result, the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 open and close according to the opening and closing pattern B, respectively. In the case of the opening / closing pattern B, the opening is performed twice as in the case of the opening / closing pattern A, but since the opening time is shorter than the opening / closing pattern A, the large winning openings 31a, 3 are larger than in the case of the opening / closing pattern A.
The winning probability for 2a is slightly lower.

Further, the main CPU 112 determines that the random number selected in S44 is neither 0 to 10 (S46: N
o) If it is not 11 to 20 (S50: No), it is determined whether the random number is any of 21 to 75 (S54), and if it is any of 21 to 75 (S54: Yes), a command C for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in the opening / closing pattern C (FIG. 10C), respectively, is used as the opening / closing member solenoid 30f.
(FIG. 4, FIG. 8) (S56). “C” is displayed on the display device 81a of the right starting port 81. As a result, the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 open and close according to the opening and closing pattern C, respectively. In the case of the opening / closing pattern C, the opening / closing patterns A and B correspond to the right opening / closing member 31.

o) Not 11-20 (S50: No), 21-7
If it is not 5 (S54: No), the random number is 76 to
Then, it is determined whether or not it is one of 100 (S5).
8) If it is any of 76 to 100 (S5
8: Yes), and issues a command D for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 according to the opening / closing pattern D (FIG. 10D), respectively.
(FIG. 4, FIG. 8) (S60). “D” is displayed on the display device 81a of the right starting port 81. Thereby, the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 open and close according to the opening / closing pattern D, respectively. In the case of this opening / closing pattern D, one opening is performed as in the case of the opening / closing pattern C.
The winning probability for a is slightly lower.

Then, the main CPU 112, which has executed S42 to S60, refers to the RAM 116 and determines whether or not the number L of left starting opening passage storage is equal to or more than "1", that is, the game ball has passed the left starting opening 82. It is determined whether a detection result indicating the fact remains (S62 in FIG. 15). If the detection result remains (S62: Yes), one random number is selected from a total of 101 random numbers from 0 to 100. Select (S64).
Subsequently, the main CPU 112 determines that the selected random number is
If any of 10 (S66: Yes),
A command A for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in accordance with the opening / closing pattern A (FIG. 10A), respectively, is provided by an opening / closing member solenoid 30f (FIGS. 4 and 8).
(S68). “A” is displayed on the display device 82 a of the left starting port 82.

Thus, the open / close member solenoid 30f
Are turned on for T2 time after the lapse of T0 and T1 time, and the right opening and closing member 31 and the left opening and closing member 32 are moved to the horizontal direction for T2 time respectively. As a result, the special winning opening 31a,
32a are opened, and the special winning openings 31a, 32
It becomes a state where it is easy to win from a. Subsequently, after the elapse of the time T2, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned off for the time T3, the right opening member 31 and the left opening member 32 return to their original positions at the time T3, respectively, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are closed. Subsequently, after the elapse of the T3 time, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned on for the T4 time, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are respectively moved in the lateral direction for the T2 time,
The special winning openings 31a and 32a are opened again. After the elapse of T4 time, the solenoid 30f for the opening / closing member is set to T
OFF for 3 hours, right opening / closing member 31 and left opening / closing member 32
Return to their original position for T3 hours,
a and 32a are closed.

If the random number selected in S64 is not 0 to 10 (S66:
No), it is determined whether or not the random number is one of 11 to 20 (S70). If it is any of 11 to 20 (S70: Yes), the right opening / closing member 31 and the left A command B for operating the opening / closing member 32 according to the opening / closing pattern B (FIG. 10B) is output to the opening / closing member solenoid 30f (FIG. 8) (S72). "B" is displayed on the display device 82a of the left starting port 82. As a result, the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 open and close according to the opening and closing pattern B, respectively. In the case of the opening / closing pattern B, the opening is performed twice as in the case of the opening / closing pattern A, but since the opening time is shorter than the opening / closing pattern A, the large winning openings 31a, 3 are larger than in the case of the opening / closing pattern A.
The winning probability for 2a is slightly lower.

The main CPU 112 determines that the random number selected in S64 is neither 0 to 10 (S66: N
o) If it is not 11-20 (S70: No), it is determined whether the random number is any of 21-75 (S74), and if it is any of 21-75 (S74: Yes), the command C for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in accordance with the opening / closing pattern C (FIG. 10C) is used as the opening / closing member solenoid 30f.
(FIG. 4, FIG. 8) (S76). “C” is displayed on the display device 82 a of the left starting port 82. As a result, the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 open and close according to the opening and closing pattern C, respectively. In the case of the opening / closing pattern C, the opening / closing patterns A and B correspond to the left opening / closing member 32.
Is opened only once, unlike the case of opening twice.

Further, the main CPU 112 determines that the random number selected in S64 is not 0 to 10 (S66: N
o) Not 11-20 (S70: No), 21-75
If not (S74: No), the random number is 76-1.
00 is determined (S78).
If it is one of 76 to 100 (S78: Y
es), a command D for operating the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 according to the opening / closing pattern D (FIG. 10 (D)) is transmitted to the opening / closing member solenoid 30f (FIGS. 4 and 8).
(S80). “D” is displayed on the display device 82a of the left starting port 82. Thereby, the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 open and close according to the opening / closing pattern D, respectively. In the case of this opening / closing pattern D, one opening is performed as in the case of the opening / closing pattern C. The winning probability is slightly lower.

Thereafter, the main CPU 112 determines that each time a game ball passes through the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82, or that the number R of right starting port passing storage or the number L of left starting port passing storage L is “1” or more. In some cases, one random number is selected from 0 to 100, and an opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected from the right starting port table 114a or the left starting port table 114b.
