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,

(Flowing Down Path of Game Ball) (1) When the Mulberry 37 is Down As shown in FIG.
Flows down the downflow path A, and then flows down the downflow path B falling in the hole 30d or the downflow path C falling in the hole 30e. The game ball P that has passed through the hole 30d falls onto the bottom 37a1 of the left mulberry 37a, but is prevented from moving to the right mulberry 37b by the protruding piece 37a2, so that a notch 37a3 is formed. It falls from the portion on the slope 41a of the base 41. Hole 3
The game ball P that has passed through the inside of the right mulberry 37b
7b1, but is prevented from moving to the left mulch 37a by the protruding piece 37b2, and falls onto the slope 41a of the base 41 from the portion where the notch 37b3 is formed. Subsequently, the game ball P that has fallen on the slope 41a selects one of the flowing paths D, E, and F to flow down. When the flow-down route D is selected, the vehicle passes through the left general region 46a, and when the flow-down route F is selected, the vehicle passes through the right general region 46b. When the flow-down route E is selected, the vehicle passes through the special area 45 and the special area detection switch 45a is turned ON.

(2) The case where the mulch 37 is rising The case where the rising part 39a2 of the left rotating body 39a is located on the left side and the rising part 39b2 of the right rotating body 39b is located on the right side. 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.

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), the game ball P which has flowed down the downflow path B or the downflow path C (FIG. 6 (A))
The probability that the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 prevent the falling is increased. Also, the rising portions 39a2, 39b
The game ball P that has come into contact with the rising portion 39a is a rising portion 39a2, 39b.
2 are formed in the shape of an arc, respectively, so that they roll along the rising portions 39a2 and 39b2 and stay at the center between the left rotating body 39a and the right rotating body 39b as shown by a broken line in FIG. 7B. Is high. When the left rotator 39a rotates counterclockwise and the right rotator 39b rotates clockwise, the rising portion 39a2 moves to the left and the rising portion 39b2 moves to the right. It passes 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 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) In the case where 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.

(Open / Close Pattern Determination Table) The ROM 114 of the microprocessor 110 stores an open / close pattern determination table for determining the open / close pattern of the right and left open / close members 31 and 32. FIG. 9 (A)
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 another 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 a pattern A for random numbers 0 to 10, a pattern B for random numbers 11 to 20, and a random number 2 for random numbers 11 to 20, respectively.
A C pattern is associated with 1 to 75, and a D pattern is associated with random numbers 76 to 100. That is, when the game ball passes through the right starting port 81 in the normal game, the main CPU 112
One random number is selected (lottery) from the random numbers, and the opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected with reference to the right starting table 114a. Also, the main CPU 112
Are 0 to 10 when the game ball passes through the left starting port 82.
Select one random number from a total of 101 random numbers of 0 (lottery)
Then, the opening / closing pattern corresponding to the selected random number is selected with reference to the left starting port table 114b.

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 and Closing Pattern) Next, the opening and closing patterns A to D of the right and left opening and closing members 31 and 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. 10 (A), the opening / closing pattern A is opened after T0 and T1 hours, opened for T2 hours, closed for T3 hours, 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 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.

[Main Processing Executed by Main CPU 112] Next, main processing executed by the main CPU 112 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The computer program for the main CPU 112 to execute the following processing is stored in the ROM 11
4 recorded. The main CPU 112 is connected to the main power source 7
0 (FIG. 8), when it is detected that the power is turned on (step (hereinafter abbreviated as S) 10: Yes), the RAM is turned on.
Initialization such as clearing of 116 is performed (S12). Subsequently, the main CPU 112 executes processing and control described below. (1) A starting port process for detecting that a game ball has passed through the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82 and storing the number of passed balls (S20). (2) Opening / closing member control for controlling the opening / closing operation of the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 in the normal game (S40). (3) Big hit control for controlling the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 when a big hit occurs (S100). (4) A symbol determination process for determining whether or not to play a game after the end of the big hit with a symbol (S200).
(5) Post-big hit control for controlling the opening and closing operations of the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 in the game after the big hit (S300). (6) Electric accessory control for controlling operations of the mulch 37 and the rotating body 39 (S400). (7) Winning control for outputting a winning ball payout command to the sub CPU 212 of the payout control board 200 based on signals from various winning opening switches (S500). (8) Voice control for outputting a voice control command to the voice control device 79 (S600). (9) Lamp control for outputting a lamp control command to the lamp control device 300 (S700). (10) Ball lending control for controlling the ball lending unit 63 (S800).

(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. The main CPU 112 executes the jackpot control (S10
It is determined whether the big hit flag has been set in S104 (FIG. 16) of 0), that is, whether or not a big hit has occurred (S22). At this stage, it is determined that the big hit has not yet occurred (S22: No) ). 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 (S24: Ye).
s).

Subsequently, the main CPU 112
If it is determined that the number R of stored right passage openings stored in No. 6 is less than 4 (S26: Yes), “1” is added to the number R of stored right passage openings (S28), and the right start opening is obtained. A display signal R for displaying the number of passed storages R is displayed on the display device 81a.
(FIG. 2, FIG. 8) (S29). Thus, the display device 81a displays the number R of stored right-passing openings. 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 (S30: Yes),
It is determined whether or not the number L of left-start opening passage stored in the RAM 116 is less than 4 (S32). If the number L of left-start opening passage storage L is less than 4 (S32: Yes), the left start is performed. "1" is added to the number L of mouth-passing storages (S34), and a display signal L for displaying the number L of left-handing mouth passing storages is output to the display device 82a (FIGS. 2, 8) (S35). As a result, the display device 82a displays the left starting port passage storage number L. When a big hit has occurred (S22: Yes), the main CPU 112 resets the right start opening passage storage number R and the left startup opening passage storage number L to 0 (S36). In other words, in the case of a big hit, the number of game balls passing through the right starting port 81 and the left starting port 82 is newly counted. Therefore, when a big hit occurs, the right starting port passing stored number R stored up to that time is stored. And resets the number L of left start opening passage storage numbers to zero. Hereinafter, the main CPU 112
Repeatedly executes S22 to S36, detects that the game ball has passed through the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82, and performs an addition process of 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
2, when the selected random number is any one of 0 to 10 (S46: Yes), the right opening member 31 and the left opening member 32 are operated in the opening / closing pattern A (FIG. 10A). Command A for opening / closing member solenoid 30f
(FIGS. 4 and 8) and a display signal A for displaying the number of times the right and left opening / closing members 31 and 32 have been opened is output to the display devices 84 and 85 (FIGS. 2 and 8) (S48). .
Thus, the display devices 84 and 85 respectively display the number of times of opening “2”.

The opening / closing member solenoid 30f is provided with (T
After the lapse of (0 hour + T1 time), it is turned ON for T2 time, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are in a state of moving laterally (a state of protruding from the housing 30a in the lateral direction) for T2 time. As a result, the special winning opening 31a, 32
a are opened, and it is in a state where it is easy to win a prize from the special winning openings 31a and 32a. 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 time T3, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned on for the time T4, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 are respectively moved in the horizontal direction for the time T2, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are opened again. And
After the elapse of the T4 time, the opening / closing member solenoid 30f is turned off for the T3 time, and the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32
After returning to the original position for T3 time, the special winning opening 31a,
32a are closed.

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), and a display signal B for displaying the number of times the right and left opening members 31 and 32 have been opened is output to the display devices 84 and 85 (FIGS. 2 and 8) (S5).
2). Thus, the display devices 84 and 85 respectively display the number of times of opening “2”. Further, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 open and close according to the opening / 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. However, since the opening time is shorter than that of the opening / closing pattern A, the opening time to the special winning opening 31a, 32a is larger than in the case of the opening / closing pattern A. The winning probability is slightly lower.

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.
(FIGS. 4 and 8) and a display signal C for displaying the number of times the right and left opening members 31 and 32 have been opened is output to the display devices 84 and 85 (FIGS. 2 and 8) (S56). .
Thus, the display devices 84 and 85 respectively display the number of times of opening “1”. Further, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 open and close according to the opening and closing pattern C, respectively. In the case of this opening / closing pattern C, the opening / closing pattern A,
Unlike B that opens the right opening / closing member 31 twice, it opens only once.

Further, the main CPU 112 determines that the random number selected in S44 is neither 0 to 10 (S46: N
o) Not 11-20 (S50: No), 21-7
If it is not 5 (S54: No), the random number is 76 to

[Effects of the Embodiment] As described above, when the pachinko machine 1 according to the above embodiment is used, the game does not return to the normal game after the end of the big hit as in the related art, but wins rather than the normal game. The game can be executed after the end of the jackpot with a high probability. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game after the big hit game is over, thereby eliminating the monotonous game.

When the pachinko machine 1 according to the above-described embodiment is used, a game ball is provided on the right starting port 8 provided on the game board 5.
1 or the right opening / closing member 3
Opening / closing patterns of the first and left opening / closing members 32 are randomly selected, and the right and left opening / closing members 32 open and close according to the selected opening / closing pattern. That is, since the opening / closing operation is not uniquely defined for each starting port as in the related art, the player can play the game ball with the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 8.
Each time the vehicle passes through 2, the right opening and closing member 31 and the left opening and closing member 32 can play a game while having an expectation as to what kind of opening and closing operation will be performed.
The monotony of the game can be further eliminated. Also,
When the player passes through either the right starting port 81 or the left starting port 82, the right opening member 31 and the left opening member 32
It is not possible to specify whether the number of times of opening is long or whether the opening time is long, so that a situation in which the game ball is fired aiming only at a specific starting port does not occur. Therefore, a wide range of the game board 5 can be utilized.

Further, the display device 84 of the right opening / closing member 31 and the display device 85 of the left opening / closing member 32 indicate the number of times of opening in the determined opening pattern. The number of times the opening / closing member 32 has been opened can be known. As a result, when the number of open games that is advantageous to the player is displayed, the player has a sense of expectation for obtaining a large profit, and thus can play the game more interestingly. Moreover, since the display devices 84 and 85 are located in front of the player and operate, the display devices 84 and 85 are very conspicuous, so that the player can easily know the determined opening pattern. Also, the display device 81 of the right starting port 81
The right start port passage storage number R is displayed in a.
Is displayed on the display device 82a, so that the number of stored passes of each starting port can be easily known in association with each starting port.

Combining at least one or more detection results of the passage of a game ball in a region where the passage of the game ball can be detected, such as a winning opening and a starting opening, and, when the combination satisfies a predetermined condition, a game after the end of the big hit. It can also be configured to end. (8) In the above-described embodiment, when it is detected that a big hit has occurred (S204: Yes in FIG. 17), the symbol is immediately displayed by the determination symbol display device 83 in a fluctuating manner, and whether or not to execute the game after the end of the big hit is determined. Has been described, for example, the opening and closing members 31, 3 during a big hit game
The above determination can also be made at the timing when the opening operation of 2 is performed. In addition, the above determination can be made after a predetermined time has elapsed after the opening and closing members 31 and 32 have opened and before the closing operation. Further, the above determination can be made after the big hit game is over. Furthermore, after a big hit occurs,
After making the above determination, a big hit game can be played.

(9) The opening / closing pattern set in the table for the right starting port used in the game after the big hit and the opening / closing pattern set in the table for the left starting port may be made different. For example, as shown in FIG. 9C illustrating another configuration of the opening pattern determination table used in the game after the end of the big hit, the right starting port table 114e is configured by the opening patterns A and B, and the left starting port table is configured. 114f is composed of open patterns A, B, E, and F. The opening / closing pattern E is opened twice as shown in FIG. 11E for explaining the timing chart, and the opening time T2 is longer than the opening time T4. For example, the opening time T2 is 0.9 seconds, and the opening time T4 is 0.5 seconds. The opening / closing pattern F is opened twice, as shown in FIG. 11 (F) for explaining the timing chart.
It is shorter than 4. For example, the opening time T2 is 0.5 seconds, and the opening time T4 is 0.9 seconds. According to this configuration, since the types of open patterns become more abundant, the monotony of the game can be more effectively eliminated.

(10) In the above embodiment, the right starting port 81
And the case where the left starting port 82 is used has been described. In addition to the two starting ports, an opening pattern determination table in which a random number and an opening pattern are associated with each other is set for the general area 46 so that the game ball When passing, the right opening / closing member 31 and the left opening / closing member 32 may be configured to open and close according to an opening pattern by lottery. In the case of this configuration, a detection switch is provided in the general area 46a, 46b or its downstream path, and the detection switch
It is detected that the game ball has passed the general areas 46a and 46b.
