When the next command signal is received during the operation, the control means is provided for executing the next operation in succession to the current operation. Here, "to execute the next operation in succession to the current operation" means to execute the next operation continuously so that the operation continues after the end of the current operation. It means that the operation of 1 and the next operation have a unity (temporal continuity). Therefore, in a mode in which the next operation is continuously performed after the current operation, the next operation is performed after the current operation is finished and the operation is stopped or an operation other than the originally intended operation (for example, a demonstration operation) is performed. The mode of execution is different. Therefore, when the control means does not receive the next command signal during the operation of the game operation part that operates based on the reception of the command signal, the operation does not continue after the current operation of the game operation part ends. Therefore, when the next command signal is received during the operation of the game operating part, and when the next command signal is not received during the operation of the game operating part, the game operating part performs different operations. Will be done. Thereby, during the operation of the game operating section that operates based on the reception of the command signal, depending on whether or not to receive the next command signal, the control means continues to the current operation of the game operating section, and Since the operation of the game operation part is executed or not executed, the operation of the game operation part becomes rich in variation, and various game productions are possible, increasing the interest of the player. You can In particular, when the operation of the game operation part for rolling the pachinko ball is related to the storage in the role object, as a result of executing the next operation in succession to the current operation, it is stored in the role object. Since the number of game balls is large, it becomes easy for the player to be in an advantageous state. Therefore, a variety of game effects are possible and the interest of the player can be increased.

According to the invention of claim 2, the game ball,
In a gaming machine that generates a special game state by winning a prize in the starting opening provided on the game board and by winning a game ball in a specific winning opening provided in the accessory, responding to the winning in the starting opening. A control means for executing the next operation in succession to the current operation when the next command signal is received while the game operation section that operates based on the command signal issued is operating. Is characterized by. Here, "to execute the next operation in succession to the current operation" means to execute the next operation continuously so that the operation continues after the end of the current operation. And the next operation are integrated. Therefore, in a mode in which the next operation is continuously performed after the current operation, after the current operation ends, the operation is stopped or an operation other than the originally intended operation (for example, a demo operation) is performed, and then the next operation is performed. The mode of execution is different. Therefore, the control means, in response to the winning of the winning opening, based on the reception of the command signal issued, during the operation of the game operation portion is operating, if the next command signal is not received, the game operation Since the operation does not continue after the current operation of the part has ended, if the next command signal is received while the game operation part is operating, and if the next command signal is not received while the game operation part is operating Then, the game operation unit executes different operations. Thereby, during the current operation of the game operating unit that operates based on the reception of the command signal, the control means continuously operates in accordance with the current operation of the game operating unit depending on whether the next command signal is received. , The operation of the next game operation unit is executed or not executed, so the operation of the game operation unit becomes rich in variation,
A variety of game productions are possible and the player's interest can be increased. In this case, the game operating unit, for example,

When the game ball enters the starting opening at a time other than the non-operation time in the preset time, the non-operation time to be in the operating state is set, and the control means operates for the game based on the reception of the command signal. It is characterized in that while the section is in operation, by receiving the next command signal, the game operation section is continuously operated. Here, the "movable member for opening and closing" means, for example, a movable member such as an opening / closing door for a special winning opening, a blade member for opening and closing, and a state in which a game ball is easy to win (open state) and a game ball is in a prize. It has both a difficult state (closed state). The "starting opening function for moving the opening / closing movable member" is a movable member for opening / closing, such as an opening / closing door for a special winning opening, an opening / closing blade member, etc. State). Therefore, "the start opening function becomes inactive" means that, when the inactive state is applicable, even if the game ball wins the starting opening, for example, the opening / closing door for the special winning opening is closed, or It means that the movable member for opening and closing, such as the blade member for opening and closing, remains in the closed state. As a result, at a time other than the non-operation time during which the function of the starting port does not operate within the set time,
Depending on whether or not the game ball wins the starting opening, the control means may or may not receive the next command signal while the game operation part is operating based on the reception of the command signal. Therefore, the control means may or may not execute the next operation of the game operating section in succession to the current operation, so that the operation of the game operating section becomes rich in variation and the player The interest of the can be increased.

As shown in FIG. 17, an annular pachinko ball passage 24 is provided around the rotary member 20. The pachinko ball passage 24 is provided on the pachinko ball passage 22 as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9. The pachinko ball that came out of the exit 23 moves.

A notched pachinko ball discharge port 25 is provided in a part of the front side of the pachinko ball passage 24, and the player side in front of the pachinko ball discharge port 25 is
Since the ball receiving portion 26 for receiving the pachinko ball is provided, the pachinko ball on the pachinko ball passage 24 is guided to the ball receiving portion 26 via the pachinko ball discharge port 25. And, between the ball receiving portion 26 and the pachinko ball outlet 25,
The front end 27c is rotated by rotating the base end portion 27b around the rotation center.
A game actuating portion 27 for moving up and down is provided. The front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 allows the pachinko ball to move on the pachinko ball passage 24 when it moves upward (see FIGS. 6 to 10) by the operation of the operating solenoid H1. On the other hand, the game operating portion 27
When the front side 27c of the pachinko ball moves downward, the pachinko ball moving on the pachinko ball passage 24 becomes the pachinko ball outlet 25.
Will be led to.

The middle starting port 14A and the left starting port 14B
And, when the pachinko ball wins the right starting opening 14C, the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 moves upward for a predetermined time (2 seconds) by the operation of the operating solenoid H1, and the pachinko ball moves. Without being guided to the outlet 25,
It enables movement on the pachinko ball passage 24. Then, after the lapse of the predetermined time (2 seconds), the game operation unit 27 executes a mode in which the vertical movement of the front side 27c is repeated a plurality of times within a short time. Therefore, the pachinko ball is moved by the vertical movement of the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27,
Since it is positioned on the pachinko ball passage 24 (game ball guide portion) and held or discharged, the game operation portion 27 is selectively moved up and down on the front side 27c by the operation of the operation solenoid H1. That is, the holding operation for holding the pachinko balls on the pachinko ball passage 24 and the discharging operation for discharging the pachinko balls from the pachinko ball passage 24 are alternately repeated. Such an operation of the front side 27c of the game operation portion 27 and the rolling of the pachinko ball associated therewith are characteristic, and the player's interest can be increased.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, the game actuating portion 27 has a connecting member 2 on the base end side shaft portion 27b.
7a is attached, and this connecting member 27a is connected to the plunger H2 of the operating solenoid H1. Then, the actuating solenoid H1 operates and the plunger H2 expands and contracts, whereby the connecting member 27a can be rotated about the rotating pin 27d as a rotation center. Then, since the distal end portion 27a1 of the connecting member 27a moves the moving operation portion 27b1 attached to the base end side shaft portion 27b, the front end of the game operation portion 27 with the base end side shaft portion 27b as the rotation center. The side 27c is moved up and down. And the game operating portion 27
When the front side 27 c of the pachinko ball is located above, the pachinko ball moves on the pachinko ball passage 24 and the recess 2 of the rotating member 20 is moved.
Whereas it can be stored at 0a (see FIGS. 6 to 9), when the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 is located below,
The pachinko ball can be dropped downward through the pachinko ball discharge port 25.

In this case, the pachinko ball passage 24 is located at a position higher than the recess 20a of the rotating member 20, so that when the front side 27c of the game operation portion 27 moves upward, the pachinko ball passage 24 is moved above the pachinko ball passage 24. Moves at a slower speed and falls somewhere in the recess 20a of the rotary member 20,
One pachinko ball is accommodated from the pachinko ball passage 24 in one recess 20a around the rotating member 20. However, when the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 moves downward, the pachinko ball passage 24 is a slope inclined slightly forward as shown in FIG. The moving pachinko ball is the pachinko ball passage 2
Pachinko ball outlet 2 of front unit 3 on the front side of 4
Guided to 5. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the pachinko ball guided from the pachinko ball outlet 25 to the game actuation portion 27 is adapted to be guided downward through the ball receiving portion 26, and then again afterward. It is adapted to be guided to the side unit 4. With this configuration, the game operating unit 27
Holds a pachinko ball in the pachinko ball passage 24 (game ball guide portion) and can selectively operate so as to discharge the pachinko ball from the pachinko ball passage 24.

A V-zone accommodating portion 20b (see FIG. 17), which is a jackpot, is provided at any one location (one location in the figure) of the concave portion 20a around the rotating member 20. When a pachinko ball wins the zone storage section 20b, the V-zone switch (not shown) detects the winning pachinko ball,
A special game state that is advantageous to the player (a state in which a large number of prize balls are paid out as a so-called "big hit") is achieved, and many prize balls are paid out. In this case, the rotating member 2
Since 0 rotates inside the pachinko ball passage 24, the pachinko ball moving on the pachinko ball passage 24 is rotated by the rotating member 2.
It depends on chance that the recessed portion 20a of 0 is to be stored. Therefore, the probability that a pachinko ball is stored in the V-zone storage portion 20b is not necessarily high. However, the game operating portion 27 operates for a long time, a large number of pachinko balls flow from the pachinko ball passage 24 to the rotating member 20, and many pachinko balls are stored in many concave portions 20a of the rotating member 20. When stored, many recesses 20a are closed by the pachinko balls, so the probability that the pachinko balls will be stored in the V-zone storage unit 20b is high, and for the player,
The expectation that it will be a particularly advantageous special game state (big hit) is increased. When the operation of the game operation portion 27 continuously executes the next operation following the current operation, the rotating member 2
A large number of pachinko balls are stored in the recessed portion 20a of 0, and the player tends to be in an advantageous state.

Unlike the other concave portions 20a provided around the rotary member 20 (see FIGS. 12 and 13), the V-zone storage portion 20b has no bottom portion and is configured to drop downward. . Therefore, the V-zone storage unit 20
As shown in FIG. 16, a lid 20c is provided below b to prevent the lid 20c from falling, and the lid 20c and the plunger 20d are connected by an actuating member 20e. And
Since the driving solenoid 20f of the lid 20c operates and the plunger 20d expands and contracts, the actuating member 20e and the lid 20c can be moved. Therefore, the lid 20c is below the V-zone storage portion 20b. In this case, the pachinko balls can be stored and stored, whereas when the lid 20c is removed from below the V-zone storage portion 20b, the pachinko balls can be dropped downward. Then, the pachinko ball dropped from the V-zone storage portion 20b can be detected by the V-zone switch 20V (see FIG. 20) as pachinko ball detection means. The reason why the lid body 20c is provided in this way is to prevent the pachinko balls from entering continuously by closing the lid body 20c when one pachinko ball enters the V-zone storage portion 20b. .

Is a non-operating time for making the starting opening function for moving the opening / closing door 16 for the special winning opening 15 inactive when the starting opening winning of the pachinko ball in the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C is detected. Also outputs a prize ball payout command signal to the prize ball payout circuit 61, and thus functions as an executing means for executing the prize ball payout operation. Then, the CPU 51 is
As shown in FIG. 3, the starting opening winning of the pachinko ball in the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C is detected (S41).
Next, the CPU 51 starts a timer operation for time measurement (for example, 1.5 seconds) (S42). CPU51
Is a starting opening function for moving the special winning opening 15 while executing the lighting operation of the display LEDs 14D, 14E,
A non-operation time (1.5 seconds) for setting the non-operation state is set (S43). The CPU 51 reduces the set time (S44) and detects whether a predetermined time (1.5 seconds) has elapsed (S45). When the predetermined time (1.5 seconds) has not elapsed (S45: NO), the CPU 51 displays L for display.
While continuing the lighting operation of ED14D, 14E,
The non-operation time is continued (S43, S44). When the predetermined time (1.5 seconds) has elapsed (S45: YES), C
The PU 51 stops the lighting operation of the display LEDs 14D and 14E (S46).

As a result, the display LEDs 14D, 14E
While a lighting operation is performed, when a pachinko ball wins the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C (starting opening), the player opens and closes the door 16 for the special winning opening 15 (movable member for opening and closing).
It is possible to know that the functions of the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C (starting port) that move the are applicable during the non-operating time when the function does not operate. Next, the CPU 51 causes the left starting opening 14
B and the starting opening re-winning of the pachinko ball in the right starting opening 14C are detected (S47). When the start mouth re-win prize is detected (S47: YES), the CPU 51 returns to S42. When the re-winning winning opening is not detected (S47: NO), the CPU
51 ends as it is.

Next, as shown in FIG. 24, the CPU 51 detects the start opening winning of the pachinko ball in the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C (S51). Where CP
U51 is a time measurement (for example, 1 second, 1.
A timer operation for 5 seconds, 2 seconds, etc.) is preset (S52). Then, the CPU 51 operates the game operating section 27.
Is started (S53), and the CPU 51 decreases the set set time (2 seconds) (S54). CPU5
1 detects whether the set time (2 seconds) has elapsed (S
55). When the set time (2 seconds) has not elapsed (S5
5: NO), the CPU 51 continues the operation of the game operation unit 27 (S53, S54). When the set time (2 seconds) has elapsed (S55: YES), the operation of the game operating unit 27 is stopped (S56), and the CPU 51 causes the game operating unit 27 to operate.
It is detected whether or not is continuous operation (S57). That is, C
The PU 51 detects whether or not the next detection signal (command signal) from the starting opening switches 57, 58, 59 is received in addition to the inactive time within the set time (2 seconds).

When the operation is not continuous (S57: NO), C
The PU 51 executes the selective operation of the game operation unit 27 (S58). That is, after the pachinko ball wins the starting opening 14B or the like, the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 moves up and down, and the game operating portion 27 alternately repeats the non-operation. Then, the CPU 51 is the game operating unit 27.
After the selective operation of (1) is executed, the storage state of the pachinko balls is released (S59).

In case of continuous operation (S57: YES), that is, the CPU 51 detects the next detection signal (command signal) from the starting port switches 57, 58, 59 in addition to the non-operation time within the set time (2 seconds). CPU51 when receiving the
Is a time measurement (for example, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, for activating and deactivating the game operating section 27 in the movable winning device 7).
Set the timer operation for 2 seconds etc. (S6
0). The CPU 51 starts the operation of the game operation section 27 (S61), and the CPU 51 sets the set time (2
Second) is decreased (S62). The CPU 51 detects whether or not the set time (2 seconds) has elapsed (S63). If the set time (2 seconds) has not elapsed (S63: NO), CP
U51 continues the operation of the game operating portion 27 (S6
1, S62). When the set time (2 seconds) has elapsed (S6
3: YES), stop the operation of the game operating unit 27 (S
64). The CPU 51 executes the selective operation of the game operation section 27 (S65) and cancels the storage state of the pachinko balls (S66). The number of continuous operations is not limited to two, and may be three or more, for example.

Next, the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C
After winning the award, the pachinko ball will hit the left start opening 14B and the right start opening 14C at a time other than the non-operation time within the set time.
If there is no winning in the (starting opening), the operating solenoid H1,
Drive control processing of the first drive motor 33, the second drive motor 37, and the like will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 25 (A) shows an operation mode of the opening / closing door 16 of the special winning opening 15. FIG. 25 (B) shows a valid or invalid state of the starting opening functions of the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C.
FIG. 25C shows an operating mode of the game operating portion 27.
FIG. 25D shows how the rotating member 20 moves up and down. FIG. 25E shows an operation mode of the detection signal of the encoder detection unit 41. FIG. 25F shows an operation mode of the first drive motor 33 for rotating operation.

In FIG. 25 (A), 1000 m from the time point T1 when the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C are won.
After the s time has elapsed, the opening / closing door 16 of the special winning opening 15 is opened for 500 ms from the time T2. Further, in FIG. 25A, the V effective time, that is, the time (set time) during which the detection of the winning ball in the V zone detected by the V zone switch 20V is made effective is clearly shown. It is 6000 ms from the winning of the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C. In addition, FIG.
In (B), the valid or invalid state of the starting opening functions of the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C is shown, and 1500 ms from the time T1 when the winning is made in the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C.
Until the next time, the starting mouth function is ineffective even if the next pachinko ball wins the left starting mouth 14B and the right starting mouth 14C, while the starting mouth function is valid after 1500 ms from the time T1. Return to the state. In FIG. 25 (C), from the time when the player has won the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C, the game operating unit 27 operates for a predetermined time (2 seconds) from time T1 and then a predetermined time (300 ms time) from time T3. ) Is not activated for a predetermined time (200 ms time) from time T4
After it is activated again, the operation is repeated such that it is deactivated. That is, if the next command signal is not received while the game operation unit 27 is operating based on the reception of the command signal, the game operation is performed after a predetermined time (2 seconds) has elapsed from winning the start opening 14b or the like. The selective operation of the part 27 will be executed.

Specifically, after the pachinko balls are won in the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C, the operating solenoid H1 operates for a predetermined time (2) from time T1 to time T3.
Second), the pachinko ball moves on the pachinko ball passage 24 and can be stored in the recess 20a of the rotating member 20. After that, the operating solenoid H1 becomes inactive for a predetermined time (300 ms time) from the time point T3, so the game operating portion 2
The front side 27c of 7 is located below the pachinko ball passage 24. After that, the operating solenoid H1 is operated again for a predetermined time (200 ms time) from the time point T4, and the game operating portion 2
The front side 27c of 7 moves upward, and the pachinko ball that moves on the pachinko ball passage 24 in the movable winning device 7 interferes with the game operating portion 27 that alternately repeats up and down movement (inactivation). become.

As a result, the pachinko ball of the movable winning device 7 (feature) will interfere with the game operating portion 27 which alternately repeats operation and non-operation, so that the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 is , When the operation and non-operation of the game operating unit 27 are alternately repeated, even if the player overlooks that the pachinko ball has won the starting opening 14b, the game operating unit 27 does not operate. When the front side 27c is alternately repeated up and down a plurality of times (four times), the player can know that a pachinko ball has won in the starting opening 14b or the like. Then, on the front side 27c of the game actuating portion 27, at the time point when four vertical movements are completed (time point T10), a predetermined time (4000 ms time) has elapsed from the time point T1 when the player has won the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C. It has been done.

In FIG. 25D, 4100 m from the time point T1 at which the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C are won.
Until elapse of s time (time point T5), the rotary member 20 is located below the pachinko ball passage 24, and the driving of the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement is stopped. Since the storage recess 20a of the rotating member 20 is located below the pachinko ball passage 24, the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 1 are provided.
4C, a predetermined time (4100 ms time) from the time point T1 when the pachinko ball wins, to the time point T5, the pachinko ball passage 2
The pachinko ball on 4 is the storage recess 20a of the rotating member 20.
Can be stored at.

From time T5, the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement is driven so that the rotary member 20 moves upward at high speed. Then, the storage recess 20 a of the rotating member 20 drops from the storage recess 20 a in a state where the storage recess 20 a has moved above the pachinko ball passage 24. And FIG.
The detection signal of the encoder detection unit 41 shown in FIG.
After the lapse of time T5, when the ON state falls to the OFF state and then rises from the OFF state to the ON state (time T6), the upward movement of the rotating member 20 is switched from the high speed movement to the low speed movement. The drive of the second drive motor 37 is changed to 50 ms time (time T
The slow moving state continues for the time period from 6 to time T7). As described above, the control circuit unit 50 starts moving the rotating member 20 upward at a high speed, and controls the second drive motor 37 at a low speed immediately before reaching the highest point,
Since the rotary member 20 does not have a large momentum, it is possible to ensure normal movement without causing positional displacement due to step-out of the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement. After that, the stopped state continues for 500 ms from the time point T7, and the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement is stopped at the upper position.

As a result, if the next command signal is not received while the game operating portion 27 is operating based on the reception of the command signal, a predetermined time (2
Sec) has elapsed, and after the selective operation of the game operation portion 27 has been executed, the releasing operation for releasing the storage state of the pachinko ball by the rotating member 20 is executed. From the stopped state, the drive of the second drive motor 37 is changed so that the rotating member 20 moves downward at high speed. And in FIG.
When the detection signal of the encoder detection unit 41 shown in (E) returns from the ON state to the OFF state after the time T7 has elapsed and rises from the OFF state to the ON state again (time T
8) In the downward movement of the rotary member 20, the drive of the second drive motor 37 is changed such that the high speed movement is switched to the low speed movement. Then, the low-speed moving state continues for 50 ms time (time from time T8 to time T9). As a result, immediately before the rotary member 20 reaches the lowest point, the control circuit unit 50 controls the second drive motor 37 at a low speed, so that the momentum of the rotary member 20 becomes small and the positional deviation due to step-out occurs. Normal movement can be ensured without causing Then, after time T9, the rotary member 20 is stopped.

In FIG. 25 (F), 4000 ms from the time T1 at which the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C are won.
Time (that is, the time from time T1 to time T10)
The first drive motor 33 for rotating operation is driven so that the rotating member 20 is normally rotated at a low speed in a state where the rotating member 20 is positioned below the pachinko ball passage 24. Thereby, in a state where the pachinko balls are stored, the rotating member 20 (storing means)
Since the control circuit unit 50 controls the first driving motor 33 for rotation at a low speed when the rotating member rotates, the rotating member 20 rotates at a low speed, the momentum of the rotating member 20 becomes small, and the positional deviation due to step-out occurs. It can rotate normally without causing Then, the time from time T10 to time T5 (10
(0 ms time), the first drive motor 33 for rotation operation is in a stopped state, and the rotating member 20 is in a stopped state. After that, the rotating operation first drive motor 33 drives the rotating member 20 so as to reversely rotate at a high speed over the time period from the time point T5 to the time point T8.

Then, at time T5, the rotating member 20
The first drive motor 33 for rotation operation is driven so that the first drive motor 33 starts reverse rotation at a high speed, and the state in which the first drive motor 33 reversely rotates at a high speed is continued for the time period from the time point T5 to the time point T8. . Then, the rotating member 20 shifts so as to switch from the high speed rotation to the low speed rotation at the time point T8, and the time point T8.
The first drive motor 33 for rotational operation is driven so as to reversely rotate at a low speed for a time period of 100 ms from time T9 to time T9. After that, the rotating member 20 moves 100 m from time T9.
After being stopped for s hours, the first rotary drive motor 33 is driven so that the rotary member 20 rotates forward at a low speed.

Next, the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C
After winning the prize, at a time other than the above non-operation time within the set time, the pachinko ball has the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 1
When winning in 4C (starting port), the operating solenoid H
The drive control processing of the first drive motor 33, the second drive motor 37, and the like will be described with reference to FIG.
Here, FIG. 26A shows a mode in which the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C are won. FIG. 26B shows an operation mode of the opening / closing door 16 of the special winning opening 15. FIG. 26 (C)
Shows the valid or invalid state of the starting opening functions of the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C. FIG. 26 (D) shows an operation mode of the game operating unit 27. FIG. 26 (E) shows how the rotating member 20 moves up and down. FIG. 26F shows an operation mode of the detection signal of the encoder detection unit 41. FIG. 26
(G) shows an operation mode of the first drive motor 33 for rotating operation. In FIG. 26 (A), after 1500 ms time has elapsed from the time point T1 when the player has won the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C, the pachinko ball is moved to the left starting port 1 at time point T20.
4B and the right starting port 14C (starting port) are won. In this case, the pachinko ball wins at a time other than the non-operation time (1500 ms time from time T1) within the set time (2 seconds).

In FIG. 26B, from the time T20 when the player has won the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C, 1000
After a lapse of ms, the opening / closing door 16 of the special winning opening 15 is opened for 500 ms from the time T21.
Further, FIG. 26 (B) clearly shows the V effective time, that is, the time during which the detection of the winning ball in the V zone detected by the V zone switch 20V is effective, and in this case, the left starting opening From the second winning of the 14B and the right starting opening 14C (time T20), the time is postponed to 6000 ms.

Further, in FIG. 26C, the left starting port 1
150 from the time T1 when winning the prize in 4B and the right starting port 14C
Up to 0 ms, even if the next pachinko ball wins the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C, the starting opening function is ineffective, while the 1500 ms elapsed time from time T1 Return to the valid state. Also, the left starting port 14
Even if the next pachinko ball wins in the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C from the time T20 when the second winning is won in B and the right starting port 14C until 1500 ms, the starting port function is ineffective. On the other hand, 1500m from time T20
After the elapse of s time, the starting port function returns to the valid state. Also,
In FIG. 26 (D), a set time in which a pachinko ball enters the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C, and the game operation unit 27 is operating based on the detection signal (command signal) corresponding to the winning. In addition to the non-operation time during which the starting opening function for moving the opening / closing door 16 within (2 seconds) is in the non-operation state,
When the pachinko ball wins the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C and receives the next detection signal (command signal), the next operation is executed continuously from the current operation of the operation solenoid H1.

That is, the game operating portion 27 operates from the time T1 to the time T20, and a predetermined time (2
For a second), and the operation continues so that the current operation and the next operation of the game operation portion 27 have an integrity (temporal continuity). After that, a predetermined time (300 m
It has been inactive for only s hours), and has passed a predetermined time (20
After 0 ms time), the operation is repeated four times. Specifically, after the pachinko balls are won in the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C, the actuating solenoid H1 moves from the time T1 to the time T.
Since it operates for a time of 20 and a predetermined time (2 seconds) from time T20 to time T22, time T1 to time T20
It is longer than the case where the pachinko ball moves on the pachinko ball passage 24, and the rotating member 20
Can be stored in the recess 20a. In this case, when the next command signal is received while the game actuation unit 27 is operating based on the reception of the command signal, the time from time T1 to time T20 and the predetermined time from time T20 to time T22 ( Two
Second second), the execution of the selective operation of the game operation section 27 is postponed as compared with the case of operating only during the time from the time point T1 to the time point T20. Thereby, depending on whether or not the next command signal is received during the operation of the operation solenoid H1 of the game operation section 27, the CPU5
Since 1 executes the operation of the next operation solenoid H1 in succession to the current operation of the operation solenoid H1 of the game operation section 27, the operation of the front side 27c of the game operation section 27 is rich in variation. It becomes a thing.

Thereafter, the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27
The time T22 is inactive for a predetermined time (300 ms time), the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 is located below the pachinko ball passage 24, and the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27 is again at the time point. Predetermined time (200 ms) from T23
(Time) The pachinko ball that moves upward and moves on the pachinko ball passage 24 in the movable winning device 7 interferes with the game operation unit 27 that alternately repeats the vertical movement of the front side 27c. As a result, the pachinko ball of the movable winning device 7 (feature) is a game operation part 27 in which the operation and non-operation are alternately repeated.
Therefore, when the front side 27c of the game operating section 27 alternately repeats the operation and non-operation of the game operating section 27, the player temporarily plays a pachinko ball at the starting opening 14b or the like. Even if a player wins a prize, the game actuating unit 27 alternately repeats actuation and non-actuation, and the front side 2
When 7c moves up and down multiple times (4 times), the player starts
It is possible to know that a pachinko ball has won in 4b or the like. In this case, the game operating unit 27 adopts a mode in which it operates between the pachinko ball winning in the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C until the opening / closing door 16 is opened and closed. desirable. In the case of such a mode, it is understood that the opening operation of the opening / closing door 16 is about to begin, and the player can expect that a lot of prize balls can be obtained by opening the opening / closing door 16 (movable member for opening / closing). Will have. Then, at the front side 27c of the game operating portion 27, at the time point when four vertical movements are completed (time point T30), the time point T20 at which the left starting opening 14B and the right starting opening 14C are won.
It means that a predetermined time (4000 ms time) has elapsed from.

In FIG. 26E, from the time T20 when the player has won the left starting port 14B and the right starting port 14C, 4100
Until the ms time has elapsed (time T25), the rotary member 20 is located below the pachinko ball passage 24, and the drive of the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement is stopped. Then, the storage recess 20 a of the rotating member 20 has the pachinko ball passage 24.
Since it is located lower than the left start port 14B, the left start port 14B and the right start port 14C in addition to the time from the time point T1 to the time point T20.
In a predetermined time (4100 ms time) from the time T20 when the pachinko ball wins to the time T25, the pachinko ball passage 2
The pachinko ball on 4 is the storage recess 20a of the rotating member 20.
Can be stored at.

From time T25, the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement is driven so that the rotary member 20 moves upward at high speed. Then, the storage recess 20 a of the rotating member 20 drops from the storage recess 20 a in a state where the storage recess 20 a has moved above the pachinko ball passage 24. Then, when the detection signal of the encoder detection unit 41 shown in FIG. 26 (E) falls from the ON state to the OFF state after the time T25 elapses and then rises from the OFF state to the ON state (time T26), the rotation is performed. In the upward movement of the member 20, the drive of the second drive motor 37 is changed so as to switch from the high speed movement to the low speed movement,
The low speed movement state continues for the time (time from time T26 to time T27). As described above, the control circuit unit 50 starts moving the rotating member 20 upward at a high speed, and controls the second drive motor 37 at a low speed immediately before reaching the highest point, whereby the rotating member 20 becomes large. Since there is no momentum, normal movement can be ensured without displacement due to step-out of the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement. After that, the stopped state continues for 500 ms from the time T27, and the second drive motor 37 for vertical movement is stopped at the upper position.

As a result, if the next command signal is received while the game actuating portion 27 is operating based on the reception of the command signal, a predetermined time (2
Sec) has elapsed, and after the selective operation of the game operating portion 27 is executed, the releasing operation for releasing the storage state of the pachinko balls by the rotating member 20 is executed, so that the release of the pachinko ball storage is postponed. become. Specifically, when the next command signal is received while the game actuation unit 27 is operating based on the reception of the command signal, the time from time T1 to time T20 and the predetermined time from time T20 to time T22 Since the operation is performed for a time (2 seconds), execution of the releasing operation for releasing the storage state by the rotating member 20 is postponed as compared with the case where the operation is performed only during the time from the time T1 to the time T20. Then, from the state where the rotating member 20 is stopped,
The rotating member 20 moves downward at high speed,
The drive of the second drive motor 37 is changed. And FIG.
The detection signal of the encoder detection unit 41 shown in 6 (E) is
After the lapse of time T27, the state returns from the ON state to the OFF state,
In the case where the rotating member 20 rises from the OFF state to the ON state again (time point T28), the rotating member 20 moves downward,
The drive of the second drive motor 37 is changed so that the high speed movement is switched to the low speed movement. Then, the low-speed moving state continues for 50 ms time (time from time T28 to time T29). As a result, immediately before the rotary member 20 reaches the lowest point, the control circuit unit 50 controls the second drive motor 37 at a low speed, so that the momentum of the rotary member 20 becomes small and the positional deviation due to step-out occurs. Normal movement can be ensured without causing After that, time T29
After that, the rotating member 20 is stopped.

In FIG. 26 (F), from the time point T20 to the time point T20 when the second start opening 14B and the right start opening 14C are won for the second time.
In the 00 ms time (that is, the time from time T20 to time T30), the first drive for rotation operation is performed so that the rotation member 20 is normally rotated at a low speed in the state below the pachinko ball passage 24. The motor 33 is driven. Thereby, the rotating member 20 in a state where the pachinko balls are stored.
When the (storage means) rotates, the control circuit unit 50 controls the first drive motor 33 for rotation at a low speed, so that the rotating member 20 rotates at a low speed, the momentum of the rotating member 20 becomes small, and step-out occurs. It is possible to rotate normally without causing displacement due to the above. After that, during the period from time T30 to time T25 (100 ms time), the rotating member 20 is in the stopped state, and the first drive motor 33 for rotating operation is in the stopped state. Then, the rotating member 20 moves from the time T25 to the time T.
The first drive motor 33 for rotational operation is driven so as to reversely rotate at a high speed over a period up to 28.

Then, at time T25, the rotating member 2
The first drive motor 33 for rotation operation is driven so that 0 starts reverse rotation at high speed, and the state in which the first drive motor 33 reversely rotates at high speed continues for the time from time T25 to time T28. To do. Then, the rotating member 20 moves at the time point T2.
In 8 shift to switch from high speed rotation to low speed rotation,
The first drive motor 33 for rotational operation is driven so as to reversely rotate at a low speed for a time of 100 ms from time T28 to time T29. After that, the rotating member 20 moves to the time point T2.
It will be stopped from 9. Thereby, during the operation of the game operating unit 27 that operates based on the reception of the command signal, the control circuit unit 50 continues the current operation of the game operating unit 27 depending on whether or not the next command signal is received. Then, the operation of the next game operation unit 27 is executed or not executed. In addition, while the game operation unit 27 is operating based on the reception of the command signal, depending on whether or not to receive the next command signal, the storage of pachinko balls is canceled, the release is postponed, and the like.
Since the release operation timings are different, it is possible to produce a variety of games and increase the player's interest.

As described above, according to the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to this embodiment, the game in the movable winning device 7 is achieved by winning the left starting opening 14B or the like (starting opening) provided in the game board 2. The pachinko ball that has entered the movable winning device 7 (accessory) when the operating portion 27 (accessory) is activated moves to the V-zone storage portion 20b (specific winning opening) provided in the movable winning device 7. , A special game state occurs by winning the prize. The control circuit unit 50 includes starter switches 57, 58, 5
It is possible to detect whether or not a detection signal (command signal) is input from 9, and the game operation unit 27 in the movable winning device 7 is detected.
