DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the front of the game board 1 in this pachinko gaming machine. In the figure, 2 is a pattern variation display consisting of a color liquid crystal display provided on the game board 1, 3 and 4 are regular winning openings, 5 Is a tulip-shaped starting winning opening provided with a pair of opening / closing pieces 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a variable winning device which is provided below the starting winning port 5 and has a large rectangular big winning port. The winning device 7 is provided with a door 8 which opens and closes forward by operating a solenoid. Continuous winning hole 9 in the door 8
Is provided. In addition, reference numeral 10 denotes four holding display lamps which are provided to store the number of hit balls when the prize winning opening 5 is won during the variable display of the pattern change display 2 and hold the start.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an input / output device related to the present invention, which is connected to a control board 15 composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM and an I / O. Reference numeral 21 denotes a ball hit at the starting winning opening 5. A start switch for detecting, 22 is a count switch for counting the winning balls to the variable winning device 7, 23
Is a continuation switch for detecting a winning ball to the continuous winning opening 9. Further, on the control board 15, the symbol variation display 2, the hold display lamp 10, and the variable winning device 7
A solenoid 24 and the like for opening and closing the door 8 are connected.

Next, the operation of this pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. FIG. 3 shows a jackpot determination routine. When it is detected in step 1 that a hit ball has been won in the starting winning opening 5, a random number is acquired in step 2, and in step 3, the symbol variation display 2 is 1-8.
Numbers and symbols such as ☆ ◆ ◎ or symbols such as characters are variably displayed in 3 rows so as to flow from top to bottom, and the display variation is stopped after a few seconds, and step 5
In step 2, it is determined whether or not the random number obtained in step 2 is a specific number, and if it is not a specific number, a lost display is made in step 6, and if it is a specific number, a big hit is displayed in step 7 and step 8 is performed. It shifts and works as a jackpot. Therefore, by predetermining the specific number, a big hit can be generated with a predetermined probability.

On the other hand, FIG. 4 is a routine for presetting the maximum number of rounds S at which the variable winning device 7 can be continuously opened by the above jackpot operation to a predetermined number. Every time it is variably displayed, the process moves from step A to step B, and the number of variations H is added. The number of changes H is initialized in step 9 of FIG. 3 each time the jackpot operation is completed. When it is determined in step C that the number of fluctuations H is 4 or less, “20” is stored as the maximum number of rounds S, and the number of fluctuations H is 5 to 8
If it is the number of times, "18" is stored as the maximum number of rounds S in steps E and F, and if the number of fluctuations H is 9 or more, "15" is stored as the maximum number of rounds S in step G.

In the jackpot operation routine shown in FIG. 5, after the round number R is initialized in step a,
At step b, the solenoid 24 is operated to open the variable winning device 7, and at step c, the count number C of the winning balls won in the variable winning device 7 is initialized, and at step d, the continuous winning opening 9 Initialize the memory of whether or not there is a prize. Then, each time a winning ball hit by the variable winning device 7 is detected within 30 seconds by the circle of steps e and f, the winning ball is added to the count number C in step g, and steps h and i are added. If there is a ball hitting the continuous winning opening 9, it is stored, and at step j, when the count number C reaches 10, the process proceeds to step k to close the variable winning device 7.

Then, in step l, it is determined whether or not there is a hit at the continuous winning opening 9, and if the continuous winning opening 9 is won, the number of rounds R reaches the maximum number of rounds S in step m. It is determined whether or not it has been reached, and if it has not reached, after adding the number of rounds R in step n, the process returns to step b and the variable winning device 7 is opened again. When the continuous winning opening 9 has not been won, and when the number of rounds R has reached the maximum number of rounds S, the process moves to step o and the jackpot operation is displayed on the symbol variation display 2 to end the jackpot operation.

As described above, in this jackpot operation, the maximum round number S is the symbol variation display 2 after the jackpot operation is completed.
The maximum number of rounds S is 20 when the number of fluctuations H is 4 or less, and the maximum number of rounds S is 18 when the number of fluctuations H is 5 to 8 If H is 9 or more, the maximum round number S is 15. For this reason, if the jackpot is regenerated at the earliest possible time after the jackpot operation is completed, that is, when the number of fluctuation displays is within a predetermined number, the variable winning device can be continuously opened as a privilege. The number of rounds increases. The maximum number of rounds S set by this is displayed on a part or all of the symbol variation display 2, a corner lens display section, a ball rental switch display section,
It is advisable to notify the player in advance by displaying the information on various information display sections or the like provided between the gaming machines or on the upper side. Further, the privilege content is not limited to the one that always increases the number of rounds, but may be the one that exceptionally reduces the number of rounds.

Further, according to the present invention, as described in claim 2,
After this jackpot operation is completed, it can be applied to a so-called probability fluctuation type (also referred to as probability variation) pachinko gaming machine in which the jackpot occurrence probability is set to be higher than the normal time for a predetermined period after that. The above-mentioned privilege can be added at the same time as the probability is increased. In this case, as a privilege, the probability may be increased and the number of rounds may be decreased instead.

Further, as described in claim 4, the increase number of rounds given as a privilege is not limited to the example shown in this embodiment, and the setting can be further subdivided according to the number of times of variable display. . For example, if a big hit is generated when the number of times of fluctuation display after the big hit operation is the first time, the number of increases in the round is set to eight, the number of increases in the second is seven, and the number of increases in the third. The increase number may be changed according to the number of changes such as 6 times.

Further, as described in claim 5, it is possible to provide the privilege only when the specific symbol that caused the jackpot is a predetermined privilege-giving symbol. For example, in the probability variation type pachinko gaming machine as described above, a privilege may be given when the probability variation specific symbol that increases the jackpot occurrence probability, or conversely does not change the jackpot occurrence probability. A privilege may be granted when the symbol is a specific symbol. Further, naturally, it is also possible to give it only in the case where the predetermined privilege-giving symbols are arbitrarily combined. In order to do so, it is determined whether the random number obtained in step 2 of FIG. 3 is a privilege grant between step B and step C in the flowchart of FIG. 4, and if it is a privilege grant. This can be realized by shifting to step C only.

Further, when a ball hits the starting winning opening 5 during the big hit operation, the holding display lamp 10 lights up in accordance with the number of holding pieces. Therefore, if a big hit is generated during the lighting, such a privilege is obtained. Once you get it,
As described in claim 6, the number of times of variable display of the variable display for symbols that can be given the privilege is displayed by making the variable display by the ball hitting the starting winning opening match the maximum number of holdings that can be held temporarily. The lighting status of the lamp 10 can be a guideline for the player.
