Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an accessory unit having a prize area which is separated from a normal area through which a game ball passes on a game board surface provided with at least a start prize hole and a normal prize hole, and In the accessory unit, a part of the normal area and the prize area are divided, and the game ball wins the starting winning opening to form a gap that allows the game ball to win the prize area. As such, a movable opening / closing member that is opened for a predetermined time is provided, and in accordance with the winning of the starting winning opening, the normal winning opening, and the game ball into the winning area, a predetermined number of winning balls are paid out, respectively.
When the movable opening / closing member is opened, the movable opening / closing member is opened and closed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time on condition that the game ball enters the winning area and passes through the special winning area provided in the winning area. The present invention relates to a gaming machine capable of entering a gaming state that is advantageous to a player by starting a round operation to be performed and repeating the round operation for a preset maximum number of times.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a pachinko machine called a second type as a type of a game machine, particularly a pachinko machine, a normal pachinko ball passage area ( Characters having a winning area different from the normal area) are arranged. As such an accessory, for example, one in which a portion corresponding to a wing is formed of a movable member so as to be openable and closable in the motif of an airplane is known.

This movable member prevents the pachinko ball from winning from the normal area to the winning area in the closed state, and provides a gap that allows the pachinko ball to win from the normal area to the winning area in the open state. It is designed to be movable.

[0006] Here, when a pachinko ball enters the starting opening provided in the normal area, the movable member is opened for a relatively short time (for example, about 0.5 seconds). During this time, the pachinko ball may win the winning area.

In the prize winning area of the character, a plurality of (for example,
Three) winning zones are provided, and some (for example, one) of them are set as V zones.

Here, when the pachinko ball wins the winning area with the movable member being in an open state, normally, if this is the case,
Although only one prize ball is paid out, when the player wins the prize area and passes through the V zone, the movable member is open for a relatively long time, or the movable member repeats opening and closing. As a result, the gaming state of the pachinko machine is continuously shifted to the "big hit state" in which the winning rate is higher than the normal state.

The big hit state is, specifically, that the movable member is opened for a relatively long time (the time limit is about 30 seconds), or the movable member is released a predetermined number of times (for example, within a relatively long time). , 18 times) is defined as one round, and if more pachinko balls pass the V zone during that round, the round ends at that point,
The jackpot status continues for only one round.

The number of continuous rounds in the jackpot state based on the passage of the V zone is set to an upper limit value (generally about 15 rounds) from the viewpoint of gambling, and further, about 10 rounds before the time limit of the large role state elapses. When the pachinko ball wins the winning area, or when the pachinko ball passes the V zone (excluding the final round), the major role state in that round immediately ends.

As a result, the probability of the pachinko ball winning in the winning area is greatly increased, and the pachinko ball can be in a state advantageous to the player.

In the second kind of pachinko machine as described above, the number of rounds to be continued in the jackpot state is set in advance, and during the round, prize balls paid out by winning a prize in the prize area in the accessory. Since the number of is also a preset number, it is unique as a game specification, and the game progress tends to be monotonous.

However, as a solution to such a problem, there has been proposed a pachinko machine in which the number of rounds to be continued in the jackpot state can be variably set by lottery.

In such a pachinko machine, for example, a lottery for selecting the number of rounds (round lottery) is executed at the time of winning a prize in the V zone in the accessory, and the jackpot state is continued based on the result of the lottery. The maximum number of rounds to be played is set. As a result, it is possible to increase the variation of the game in the big hit state and to attract the player to the game.

However, in the above-mentioned pachinko machine, only the maximum number of consecutive rounds in the jackpot state changes, and the expectation of the player is that the round lottery result is limited to the above upper limit value, and the player's expectation for the game is limited. It is hard to say that the sense of expectation will increase dramatically, and it has been difficult to provide highly attractive games.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine which improves the taste of the game and can provide the player with good gaming.
