Description

  In addition to the first specific gaming state, which is a gaming state that is a conventional big hit that allows a player to acquire a large amount of gaming media, the present invention provides a small amount compared to the first specific gaming state. A game machine in which a second specific game state that is a game state in which a player can acquire the game medium and a third specific game state in which substantially the same amount of game media as the second specific game state can be acquired occurs The present invention relates to an information display device provided correspondingly.

  Conventionally, as an information display device that is provided corresponding to a gaming machine and displays gaming information in the corresponding gaming machine, the number of pachinko balls granted to a player during hitting and the used pachinko used for gaming The first big hit and the second big hit, which are two types of hits that are different from the number of balls, are distinguished based on the number of balls in the hit, and the occurrence of the first big hit and the second big hit There are some which count and display the number of times and the number of start times (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, in recent years, a gaming state in which a player can acquire a large amount of gaming media as in conventional gaming machines, for example, one round in which the open / close plate of the variable winning ball apparatus is opened is repeated up to 15 rounds. The lottery conditions after the big hit state (first specified game state), which is a state, is generated, and the open / close plate of the variable winning ball apparatus in the conventional big hit state is opened for only two rounds, for example, for only 0.5 seconds. The probability of winning in the first specific gaming state is low but the probability of winning changes in the internal probability variation state (second specific gaming state) and the open / close plate of the variable winning ball apparatus is very similar to the probability of winning. After a short period of time, for example 0.5 seconds, is opened for 2 rounds, the game state before the occurrence is taken over, or the winning probability of the first specific game state and the frequency of establishment of the lottery conditions are low. A small hit (third specific gaming state) that becomes a state (first gaming state) occurs, and it is difficult to distinguish these sudden hits (second specific gaming state) and small hits (third specific gaming state) in appearance. Therefore, the player has a sense of expectation that the first specific gaming state will be won in the subsequent lottery by the fact that the winning probability is the winning probability (second specific gaming state) in which the winning probability is improved. A gaming machine that has been improved by being given to the game has been put into practical use.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below.

  Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a front view showing a game island in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The game island of Embodiment 1 is shown in FIG. In addition, a plurality of pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i, which are game machines of the present invention, and a card for enabling a game using a prepaid card in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i The unit 3 is juxtaposed, and the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i arranged side by side correspond to the call lamp device 200 serving as the information display device of the present invention on a one-to-one basis. The pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i are connected to the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i.

  First, the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i, which are the gaming machines used in the present embodiment, will be described. As the pachinko machines connected to the calling lamp device 200, the gaming state after occurrence of a small hit, which will be described later, is described. As a maintenance type pachinko machine 2a-i in which the gaming state before occurrence of the small hit is maintained, and a gaming state after occurrence of the small hit, which will be described later, the normal gaming state regardless of the gaming state before the occurrence of the small hit There are two types of pachinko machines 2'a to i of the normal transfer type.

  As shown in FIG. 1, these pachinko machines 2 a to i and 2 ′ a to i have a glass door frame 102 formed in a frame shape, and a hitting ball supply tray 103 is provided on the lower surface of the glass door frame 102. It has been. An operation unit 14 is provided at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the hitting ball supply tray 103, and an excess ball receiving tray 104 for storing premium balls overflowing from the hitting ball supply tray 103 and a hit ball are fired at the lower portion of the hitting ball supply tray 103. A hitting ball operating handle (hereinafter referred to as an operating knob) 105 is provided.

  On the upper surface of the operation unit 114, as shown in FIG. 4, a frequency display unit 17 for displaying the frequency read from the prepaid card in the card unit 3 (see FIG. 1) arranged side by side, When the number of balls on the hitting ball supply tray 103 is reduced or lost, a predetermined number of pachinko balls are lent out when the frequency is displayed on the frequency display unit 17. A lending switch 16 implemented from a to i and a return switch 15 for allowing the card unit 3 to return the accepted prepaid card at the end of the game are provided.

  A game board 106 is detachably attached to the rear of the glass door frame 102 as shown in FIG. A game area 107 is provided in front of the game board 106. In the vicinity of the center of the game area 107, a special variable display portion 109 in which a plurality of types of identification information called “special symbols” are variably displayed, and a plurality of types of identification information called “ordinary symbols” are variably displayed. A variable display unit 110 is provided. Further, the game board 106 includes a variable start winning ball device 113 composed of a plurality of winning ports 124, a passing gate 111, a starting winning port 114 and a movable piece 115, and a variable winning ball device including an opening / closing plate 120 opened in a big hit state. 116 is provided, and at the bottom of the game area 107, an out port 126 for collecting the hit balls that have not won is formed.

  A ball hit by a hammer (not shown) that is swung by the operation of the hitting operation knob 105 enters the game area 107 through the hitting rail, and then flows down the game area 107. At this time, pachinko balls whose launch momentum is too weak to reach the game area 107 are circulated to the surplus ball receiving tray 104 through a circulation path (not shown).

  In addition, when the ball that has been driven into the game area 107 passes through the passing gate 111, the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed on the normal variable display unit 110 is variably started.

  When the display result after the variable display operation of the normal variable display unit 110 becomes a predetermined specific display result (for example, “7”), the movable piece 115 provided in the variable start winning ball apparatus 113 is the player. The game is opened for a predetermined time (0.5 seconds in this embodiment) from the closed state, which is disadvantageous to the player, and is advantageous to the player.

  In addition, when a pachinko ball wins the start winning opening 114, a lottery is performed on a game control board 231 described later provided in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i. Then, the special variable display unit 109 starts variable display (variable display) of all the special symbols by the display effect of the aspect according to the lottery result.

  When the result of the lottery in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i wins the big win that is the first specific gaming state, a predetermined display mode (for example, “777” or “ 444 "), the display results of the left, middle and right special symbols are derived. And when it becomes these specific display modes, the big hit state (1st specific game state) which is a game state which a player can acquire a lot of pachinko balls (game media) occurs. When the big hit state (first specific game state) occurs, the opening / closing plate 120 provided in the variable winning ball device 116 is opened to be a first state advantageous to the player. The first state is terminated when a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number of hit balls (for example, 10) is won, whichever comes first. The second state is disadvantageous for a closed player. Thereafter, repeated continuation control is performed to control from the second state to the first state. The upper limit number of this repeated continuation control is set to 15 times, for example.

  Further, when the lottery result is won by winning or small hit, special symbols on the left, middle, and right are set so that the chance is a predetermined special display mode (for example, “357”). The display result of is derived. In the case of these chances, in the case of a sudden hit state (second specific game state) to which a probability variation state or a high probability state, which will be described later, is given, or in the case of the pachinko machines 2a to i, the occurrence occurs A small hit state (third specific gaming state) that is inherited by the gaming state after the previous gaming state occurs, and in the case of the pachinko machines 2′a to i, the gaming state after the occurrence is controlled to the normal gaming state The small hit state (third specific gaming state) to be generated occurs. In the case where the hit state or the small hit state occurs, the opening and closing plate 120 provided in the variable winning ball apparatus 116 is opened only for a very short time, for example, 0.5 seconds, only twice (round). The That is, since the variable winning ball device 116 hardly wins in the butt hit state or the small hit state in which the opening for 0.5 seconds is performed only twice, both the butt hit state and the small hit state are the big hit state. The player can acquire a small amount of pachinko balls as compared to the game state, and in both hit states, the player can acquire a roughly equivalent amount of pachinko balls.

  Next, the gaming state in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i used in this embodiment will be described. The pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i have low winning probabilities in the lottery (the low probability state). In addition, the first game according to the present invention has a low frequency of occurrence of a big hit state by being controlled to the low base state, which is a low establishment frequency state according to the present invention which is difficult to make a start winning as a condition for performing the lottery. The normal gaming state is controlled by the high base state where the winning probability in the lottery and the low winning probability in the lottery (the low probability state) is a high establishment state that is easy to start winning. Compared to the normal gaming state, the short-time state, which is more frequent in the big hit state, and the low base state, which is the low establishment frequency state where it is difficult to win a start like the normal gaming state, but the winning probability in the lottery is compared to the normal gaming state The The high base state is a high probability state in which a big hit state occurs more frequently than in the normal gaming state, and a high establishment frequency state in which the winning probability in the lottery is high (high probability state) and the start winning prize is easy. By being controlled by the state, it has four gaming states of a probability variation state (also referred to as a probability variation state) in which a big hit state occurs more frequently than the normal gaming state.

  In other words, the probability variation state is a state having characteristics of both a high-accuracy state and a short-time state, and the second winning probability is higher in the lottery than the normal gaming state and the short-time state which are the first gaming state in the present invention. In the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the present embodiment as the gaming state, the probability variation state (probability variation state) and the high probability state correspond to two gaming states, and the winning probability in the lottery is low. The gaming state includes a normal gaming state and a short time state.

  In the high-accuracy state of the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the present embodiment, the winning probability for the big hit, the sudden hit and the small hit is increased (for example, 10 times. That is, in the first stage described later). Control for increasing the lottery probability) is performed.

  Further, in the time-saving state of the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the present embodiment, as a control for setting a high base state that is a high establishment frequency state in which a start winning prize is easy, specifically, for the player The frequency at which the advantageous movable piece 115 is in the open state is almost the same as the improvement of the opening frequency of the movable piece 115 during the probability variation, and the time from the variable display of the normal symbol of the variable display device 110 to the stop display is normal. It is improved by being shortened from the state (for example, shortened from 30 seconds to 3 seconds), and the period during which the movable piece 115 is opened is extended from the normal gaming state (for example, 0.5 seconds is extended to 3 seconds). ), It is possible to maintain a state in which start-up winning in which variable display on the special variable display unit 109 is started is easier than in the normal gaming state (or high-probability state). Players will be paid out State ball has no significantly reduced is adapted to be maintained at (high base state).

  Further, in the probability variation state (probability variation state) of the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the present embodiment, the single variable display time of the ordinary variable display unit 110 is in the normal gaming state as in the short time state. In addition, control is performed such that the frequency at which the movable piece 115 provided in the start winning opening 114 is in an open state advantageous to the player is improved, so that the normal gaming state (or the high probability state) ), And the winning probability of the big hit, the rush hit and the small hit is increased (for example, 10 times. That is, in the first step described later). To increase the lottery probability).

  In the present embodiment, a gaming machine that gives a prize ball to the start prize is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and by not giving a prize ball for these start prizes, In the short time state, the gaming machine may be only a high establishment frequency state in which the lottery condition is easily established without being in a high base state in which the player's possession is not greatly reduced.

  In addition, the variation frequency of the lottery condition may be improved by reducing the variation time of the special symbol without shortening the variation time of the normal symbol of the normal variable display unit 110 or extending the opening time of the movable piece 115. .

  In the lottery performed in accordance with the winning at the starting winning opening 114 (hereinafter also referred to as starting winning), a normal big hit (hit that becomes a normal gaming state following the big hit state) and a promising big hit (following the big hit state) Big hit that becomes a probability fluctuation state), Abrupt hit A (Accident hit that becomes a high probability state or a probable change state (when the game state before the occurrence of the sudden hit state is a short-time state)), a sudden hit B It is determined whether or not to generate a small hit (a sudden hit that becomes a probability variation state following the sudden hit state) and a small hit.

  Usually, a big hit is generated after a big hit state is generated and the next hit state (big hit state, sudden hit state or small hit state) is generated following the big hit state, or after a predetermined number of start times, for example, a short time state up to 100 revolutions. The big hit that becomes the normal gaming state, the probability variation big hit is the big hit that generates the big hit state and becomes the high probability state following the big hit state, and both the normal big hit and the probability variable big hit are both the first specific game in the present invention. It corresponds to the state. It should be noted that the probability variation big hit may not be provided and only the normal big hit may be generated, or the normal game state may be immediately controlled without being controlled to the time-short state after the normal big hit.

  In addition, the impact accuracy A generates the above-described impact accuracy state and the gaming state including the high accuracy state following the impact accuracy state, that is, the gaming state before the occurrence of the impact accuracy state is the normal gaming state or the high probability state. If it is a state, it becomes a highly probable state. This is a rush hit to maintain the base state (high base state or low base state), and the butt hit B generates the aforementioned butt hit state and the gaming state prior to the occurrence of the butt hit state. Regardless, it is a rush hit which becomes a probability variation state following the rush hit state, and both the rush hit A and the rush hit B are the second specific gaming state in the present invention. This is.

  In addition, in the case of the small hit state, the small hit state described above is generated, and in the case of the pachinko machines 2a to i that are the above-described maintenance types, the gaming state after the small hit is generated before the small hit state is generated. In the case of the pachinko machine 2'a-i that is the normal transition type described above, the gaming state after the occurrence of the small hit is normal. This is a hit that results in a gaming state (first gaming state), and the small hit corresponds to the third specific gaming state in the present invention.

  Specifically, in the lottery, the first stage lottery for determining whether or not to win is performed according to the winning at the start winning opening 114, and when the first stage lottery is won, A second stage lottery is performed to determine whether a big hit, a probable big hit, a sudden hit A, a sudden hit B, or a small hit is generated.

  When a normal jackpot is won, a predetermined combination of normal jackpot symbols (for example, “444” or “666”) is derived as a display result of the left, middle, and right special symbols, and based on this, the above-mentioned is displayed. It is controlled to the big hit state. After the big hit state is finished, a predetermined number of start times, for example, 100 times or until a big hit state or a sudden hit state occurs (in the case of the normal transition type, a small hit occurs). (Including up to).

  In the case of winning the probability variation jackpot, a predetermined combination of probability variation jackpot symbols (for example, “777” or “333”) is derived as the display result of the left, middle and right special symbols. And it is controlled to the big hit state mentioned above, and it becomes a probability fluctuation state in the period until it wins again (big hit, sudden hit or small hit) after the end of the big hit state. Note that the big hit with the probability big hit symbol is called a probability big hit and the big hit with the normal big hit symbol is called a normal big hit.

  In addition, when the winning hit (the hitting hit A and the hitting hit B) is won, a predetermined chance (for example, “357”) is derived as a display result of the left, middle and right special symbols. In addition, the control is performed in the above-described rush hit state, and when the rush hit state is the butt hit A in the period until winning again (big hit, rush hit or small hit) after the end of the butt hit state. Is a high probability state if the game state before the occurrence of the impact accuracy A is a normal gaming state or a high probability state, and a probability change state if the game state before the occurrence of the impact accuracy A is a short-time state or a probability variation state. If it is controlled and the winning hit is B, the probability variation state is entered.

  In addition, when winning a small hit, as in the case of a winning hit, a predetermined chance (for example, “357”) is derived as the display result of the left, middle and right special symbols, In the case of pachinko machines 2a to i that are maintenance types, the gaming state after the small hit is maintained in the same gaming state as the gaming state before the small hit. In other words, if the pre-occurrence gaming state is a normal gaming state, it is a normal gaming state, if the pre-occurrence gaming state is a probability variation state, it is a probability variation state, and if the pre-occurrence gaming state is a high probability state, it is high. If the gaming state before the occurrence is in the certain state, if it is in the short time state described later, the state is in the short time state. On the other hand, in the case of the pachinko machine 2'a-i that is the normal transition type, the gaming state after the occurrence of the small hit Becomes the normal gaming state (first gaming state), that is, Gaming state gaming state other than the normal playing state lifetime (probability variation state, a high probability state, the time-shortening conditions) be shifted to the normal gaming state.

  When the big hit that occurred in the probability variation state is the probability variation big hit, the probability variation state is entered again after the big hit state ends. On the other hand, if the big hit that occurred in the probability fluctuation state is a normal big hit, and if the normal big hit occurs in the normal gaming state, after the big hit state ends, it does not become a probability fluctuation state, but variable display The time-saving state until the unit 109 performs the variable display operation a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) or any one of the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state occurs. (Second gaming state) occurs.

  That is, in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the present embodiment, a player can acquire a large amount of pachinko balls (game media) in accordance with the establishment of a start winning prize that is a predetermined lottery condition. Big hit state (first specific game state), which is a unique gaming state, and a sudden hit state (second game state) in which the player can acquire a small amount of pachinko balls compared to the big hit state (first specific game state) Whether or not to generate a small hit state (third specific gaming state), which is a gaming state in which the player can acquire a small amount of pachinko balls compared to the specific gaming state) or big hit state (first specific gaming state) A lottery is performed, and a big hit state (first specific gaming state), a sudden hit state (second specific gaming state) or a small hit state (third specific gaming state) is controlled according to the winning in the lottery, and in the lottery Low probability of winning There are a normal gaming state and a short time state (first gaming state), and a high probability state and a probability variation state (second gaming state) that have a higher winning probability in the lottery than the normal gaming state (first gaming state). When the collision hit state (second specific gaming state) occurs, control is made to the high probability state or the probability variation state (second gaming state), and when the small hit state (third specific gaming state) occurs, the small hit state The game state before the occurrence of the (third specific game state) is maintained (pachinko machines 2a to i; maintenance type) or controlled to the normal game state (first game state) (pachinko machines 2'a to i; normal) Transition type) gaming machine.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the present embodiment, when the winning contact B is won as described above, the opening for 0.5 seconds is performed only twice. Since a special effect display is performed on the special variable display unit 109 and control for shifting to the probability variation state is performed, the player who wins the collision hit B in the normal gaming state However, playability is added as if the probability variation state suddenly occurred.

  As explained above, in the high probability state, the lottery probability is improved internally, and there is no difference in appearance (including the case where there is almost no difference) compared to the normal gaming state, and the player is highly accurate. It is difficult to distinguish between a state and a normal gaming state. Further, even in the time reduction state and the probability change state, the normal symbol display time of the normal variable display unit 110 is shortened and the opening time of the movable piece 115 is extended in common, and there is no difference in appearance. It is difficult to discriminate whether or not the state is probabilistic.

  Therefore, in the maintenance-type pachinko machines 2a to i, the rush contact A and the small hit that occurred in the normal game state or the high probability state, and the rush contact A, the rush contact B and the small contact that occurred in the short time state (or the probability variation state). Since it is difficult for the player to determine which hit has occurred, the player has a sense of expectation that the hit is not a small hit but a high accuracy state. The playability that can be given to is also given. Further, in the normal transition type pachinko machines 2'a to i, it is difficult for the player to determine which hit has occurred for the rush hit A and the small hit that occurred in the normal game state or the high probability state. Therefore, playability that can give the player a sense of expectation that the occurrence is not a small hit (not a small hit) but a high probability is given.

  Therefore, it is preferable that the hit state and the small hit state are the same in the display mode of the variable display device 110 and the open / close mode of the opening / closing plate 120 to make it difficult for the player to distinguish between the quick hit state A and the small hit state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display mode of the variable display device 110 and the open / close mode of the opening / closing plate 120 may be different between the butt-contact state of the butt-contact A and the small-contact state. Depending on, you may be able to vary the number of balls you can earn.

  In the pachinko machines 2'a to i of the present embodiment, after the small hit state is generated, the normal gaming state is controlled. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the small hit state is generated. You may make it control to a time-short state later.

  Also, in the pachinko machines 2a to i of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 13 described later, in the big hit state and the sudden hit state, the winning probability is low (low probability state) and low. While in the low base state, which is the establishment frequency state, during the small hit state, the gaming state before the occurrence of the small hit state is taken over as it is, the high probability signal described later output in the high probability state is the gaming state Even if a small hit state occurs when the game is in a high probability state or a probability variation state, the game state is a high probability state or a probability variation state while the output state (HIGH state) remains unchanged in the small hit state. When the big hit state and the sudden hit state occur in the case of the above, the state changes to the non-output state (LOW state) during the big hit state and the sudden hit state.

  Similarly, a short time signal (described later) output in the high base state, which is a high establishment frequency state, is maintained during the small hit state, but low during the big hit state and the sudden hit state. Since the low base state, which is a frequency state, is set, the state changes to a non-output state (LOW state) during the big hit state and the sudden hit state.

  Also, in the normal transition type pachinko machine 2′a of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 48, in the same as the maintenance type pachinko machine 2a, in the big hit state and the sudden hit state, the winning probability is determined as the gaming state. Is low (low probability state) and low base state, which is a low establishment frequency state, while in the small hit state, since the gaming state before the occurrence of the small hit state is taken over as it is, it is output in the high probability state The high-accuracy signal, which will be described later, remains in the output state (HIGH state) and does not change during the small hit state even if the small hit state occurs when the gaming state is the high-probability state or the probability change state. When a big hit state or a sudden hit state occurs when the gaming state is a high probability state or a probable variation state, a non-output state ( The time-short signal, which will be described later, is also output during the small hit state and is not output during the big hit state and the sudden hit state. State).

  Also, in other types b to i of normal transition type pachinko machines 2'b to i, similarly to the pachinko machine 2'a, during the big hit state and the sudden hit state, the winning probability is low. In the low hit state, the game state before the occurrence of the small hit state is taken over as it is, so that it is output in the high probability state as will be described later. The high-accuracy signal remains in the output state (HIGH state) and does not change during the small hit state even if the small hit state occurs when the gaming state is a high-probability state or a probable change state, while the gaming state When a big hit state or a sudden hit state occurs in the case of a high accuracy state or a probability variation state, a non-output state (LOW state) is generated during the big hit state or the sudden hit state. ) And a short time signal output in the short time state, which will be described later, is maintained in the output state during the small hit state, but is not output during the big hit state and the sudden hit state (LOW state). To change.

  Further, as described above, the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'a-i is also used in this embodiment, and the information output board 298 mounted on the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'a 4 and FIG. 48, similarly to the maintenance type pachinko machine 2a, during the big hit occurrence period (during the big hit), during the sudden hit occurrence period (during the sudden hit) and during the small hit occurrence period (during the small hit) The winning common signal that is continuously output at the time, the big hit, the suddenness, and the short time signal that are continuously output during any of the period of the big hit, the sudden hit, or the short time (short time), and the winning probability Each time a lottery is performed in accordance with a high-accuracy signal that is continuously output in a high-high-precision state and a winning at the start winning opening 114 (specifically, the variation of the symbol in the special variable display unit 109 is When finished) A start signal that is output as a pulse with a gap width is output as an external output signal.In this embodiment, a common signal per hit, a big hit / accuracy / short time signal, a high accuracy signal, and a start signal are output, These pachinko machines 2'a are of type a as well as the pachinko machine 2a.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 48, the signals output from the information output board 298 mounted on the normal transition type pachinko machine 2′a and the maintenance type pachinko machine 2a are the same. In the same manner, the normal transfer type pachinko machine 2'b and the maintenance type pachinko machine 2b, the normal transfer type pachinko machine 2'c and the maintenance type pachinko machine 2c, the normal transfer type pachinko machine 2'd, Maintenance type pachinko machine 2d, normal transfer type pachinko machine 2'f and maintenance type pachinko machine 2f, normal transfer type pachinko machine 2'g, maintenance type pachinko machine 2g, normal transfer type pachinko machine From the information output board 298 of the pachinko machine 2h that is 2′h and the maintenance type, the pachinko machine 2′i that is the normal transition type, and the pachinko machine 2i that is the maintenance type Each signal and output form to be input are the same, the pachinko machine 2′b is also type b, the pachinko machine 2′c is also type c, the pachinko machine 2′d is also type d, and the pachinko machine 2 'e is also type e, pachinko machine 2'f is type f, pachinko machine 2'g is also type g, pachinko machine 2'h is also type h, and pachinko machine 2'i is also type i. Become.

  For type a pachinko machines 2a and 2'a, as shown in Fig. 14, the output status of the hit common signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal and high accuracy signal is LOW, LOW and LOW in the normal state, respectively. , LOW, HIGH, HIGH in the probability variation state, LOW, HIGH, HIGH in the short-time state, respectively, LOW, LOW, HIGH in the high-accuracy state, respectively, HIGH, HIGH, In the small hit state, since the output state of the big hit / accuracy / short time signal and high accuracy signal is inherited even during the small hit state, at least the hit common signal is HIGH, indefinite, indefinite. . That is, the output status of the common hit signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal, and high accuracy signal is normal state, probability variation state, short time state, high accuracy state, hit state (big hit state, sudden hit state, small hit state) Since they are different, it is possible to distinguish between a period in which the normal state, the probability variation state, the short-time state, and the high-accuracy state are controlled, and the hit state in which any one of the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state is generated.

  On the other hand, for the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, although the period in which any state is generated can be identified by the output state of the hit common signal, whether the state at that time is the big hit state, It is not possible to identify whether it is a sudden hit state or a small hit state. However, there is a large difference in the number of balls that can be changed, such as the number of balls to be hit, the number of winning balls, and the number of difference balls, between the big hit state and the hit state and the small hit state. From the output state of the hit common signal, the generation period and the number of balls, it is possible to identify whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring.

  In the case of the maintenance type pachinko machine 2a, the sudden hit state and the small hit state depend on the input state of the high accuracy signal at the input time of the hit common signal or at the end of the input of the hit common signal, that is, the hit type. Based on whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the common signal (based on the change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal related to the input of the common signal) . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, for the small hits, even when the game occurs in any of the normal gaming state, the probability changing state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, the hitting is performed at the time when the winning common signal is input. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even when the input of the common signal is completed. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  Further, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'a, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, but always in the sudden hit state. Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, at the end of the input of the hit common signal, If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, while the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, and the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, if the big hit / accuracy / short time signal is in the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as the abrupt hit B, and if it changes to the non-output state (LOW state) A can be identified.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the type b pachinko machines 2b and 2'b have a common output signal, a high accuracy signal, and a short time signal output status of LOW, LOW, and LOW in the normal state, respectively. In the state, it becomes LOW, HIGH, HIGH, respectively, in the short time state, it becomes LOW, LOW, HIGH, respectively, in the high accuracy state, it becomes LOW, HIGH, LOW, respectively, and in the big hit state and the sudden hit state, it becomes HIGH, LOW, LOW, respectively. In the small hit state, since the output state of the big hit, sudden hit, short time signal, and high accuracy signal is inherited even in the small hit state, at least the hit common signal is HIGH, undefined, and undefined. In other words, the output status of the hit common signal, high accuracy signal, and short time signal is different in the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, and the hit state (collision hit state, small hit state). The period during which the probability variation state, the time-short state, and the high accuracy state are controlled can be distinguished from the hit state in which one of the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state occurs.

  On the other hand, for the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, although the period in which any state is generated can be identified by the output state of the hit common signal, whether the state at that time is the big hit state, It is not possible to identify whether it is a sudden hit state or a small hit state. However, there is a large difference in the number of balls that can be changed, such as the number of balls to be hit, the number of winning balls, and the number of difference balls, between the big hit state and the hit state and the small hit state. From the output state of the hit common signal, the generation period and the number of balls, it is possible to identify whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring.

  In the case of the maintenance type pachinko machine 2b, the sudden hit state and the small hit state depend on the input state of the high-accuracy signal at the input point of the hit common signal or the input end point of the hit common signal, that is, the hit type. Based on whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the common signal (based on the change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal related to the input of the common signal) . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, for the small hits, even when the game occurs in any of the normal gaming state, the probability variation state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, even at the time when the hit common signal is input. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even when the input of the common signal is completed. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  Further, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2′b, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, but always in the sudden hit state. Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, the input of the high probability signal at the end of the input of the hit common signal If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, whereas the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states. Can be identified by the change in the output state of the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, if the time-short signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common contact signal, it can be identified as the sudden hit B, and if it does not change to the output state (HIGH state), it is identified as the sudden hit A. it can.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, type c pachinko machines 2c and 2'c each have a common output signal, a big hit / probability / short time signal, a high accuracy signal, and a short time signal in the normal state. LOW, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively, LOW, HIGH, HIGH, and HIGH in the probabilistic state, LOW, HIGH, LOW, and HIGH in the short-time state, and LOW, LOW, HIGH, and LOW, respectively, in the high-accuracy state. In the big hit state and the sudden hit state, it becomes HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW, respectively, and the small hit state takes over the output state of the big hit, sudden hit, short time signal, and high accuracy signal even in the small hit state. The hit common signal becomes HIGH, indefinite, indeterminate, and indefinite. That is, the output status of the common hit signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal, and high accuracy signal is normal state, probability variation state, short time state, high accuracy state, hit state (big hit state, sudden hit state, small hit state) Since they are different, it is possible to distinguish between a period in which the normal state, the probability variation state, the short-time state, and the high-accuracy state are controlled, and the hit state in which any one of the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state is generated.

  On the other hand, for the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, although the period in which any state is generated can be identified by the output state of the hit common signal, whether the state at that time is the big hit state, It is not possible to identify whether it is a sudden hit state or a small hit state. However, there is a large difference in the number of balls that can be changed, such as the number of balls to be hit, the number of winning balls, and the number of difference balls, between the big hit state and the hit state and the small hit state. From the output state of the hit common signal, the generation period and the number of balls, it is possible to identify whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring.

  In addition, in the case of the maintenance type pachinko machine 2c, the sudden hit state and the small hit state depend on the input state of the high accuracy signal at the input point of the hit common signal or the input end point of the hit common signal, that is, the hit type. Based on whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the common signal (based on the change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal related to the input of the common signal) . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, for the small hits, even when the game occurs in any of the normal gaming state, the probability changing state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, the winning point is also obtained at the time when the winning common signal is input. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even at the end of the input of the common signal. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  In the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'c, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, but always in the sudden hit state. Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, at the end of the input of the hit common signal, If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, while the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, and the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, if the time-short signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common contact signal, it can be identified as the sudden hit B, and if it does not change to the output state (HIGH state), it is identified as the sudden hit A. it can.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the type d pachinko machines 2d and 2'd are in the normal state in which the output status of the hit common signal, the big hit / accuracy / short time signal, the high accuracy signal, the accuracy / small hit signal is normal. Are LOW, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively, and are LOW, HIGH, HIGH, and LOW in the probabilistic state, LOW, HIGH, HIGH, and LOW, respectively, in the short-time state, and LOW, LOW, HIGH, and LOW, respectively, in the high-accuracy state. In the big hit state, it is HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW, and in the sudden hit state, it is HIGH, HIGH, LOW, HIGH, respectively, and the small hit state is the output of the big hit, sudden hit, short time signal, and high accuracy signal. Since the state is inherited even during the small hit state, at least the hit common signal and HIGH to Make-Koatari signal is a HIGH state and indeterminate, indefinite, and HIGH. That is, the output status of the common hit signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, sudden accuracy / small hit signal is the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state. Since it differs depending on the state, it is possible to distinguish between the normal state, the probability variation state, the short-time state, the high-accuracy state, and the big hit state, and the state in which either the sudden hit state or the small hit state is generated.

  In addition, with regard to the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, in the pachinko machines 2a to c of types a to c, it is impossible to distinguish between the big hit state and the sudden hit state and the small hit state in the signal output form. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 2d of this type d has a hitting accuracy / small hitting signal output (HIGH state) in the hitting hitting state and the small hitting state, so that the hit common signal and the hitting accuracy / small hitting signal are Depending on the output state, the big hit state where only the hit common signal is output (HIGH state), and the bumpy hit state and the small hit state where both the hit common signal and the accuracy / small hit signal are output (HIGH state) are distinguished. it can.

  In the case of the maintenance-type pachinko machine 2d, the high-accuracy signal at the time of input of the common contact signal (accuracy / small hit signal) or the end of input of the common contact signal will be described. Depending on the input state, that is, based on whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the common contact signal (based on the change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal related to the input of the common contact signal) Can be identified. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the small hit is hit at the time of the input of the hit common signal, regardless of whether it occurs in the normal gaming state, the probability variation state, the high probability state, or the short time state. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even when the input of the common signal is completed. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  Further, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'd, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, but always in the sudden hit state. Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, at the end of the input of the hit common signal, If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, while the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, and the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, if the big hit / accuracy / short time signal is in the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as the abrupt hit B, and if it changes to the non-output state (LOW state) A can be identified.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the type e pachinko machines 2e and 2'e are LOW in the normal state when the output status of the common hit signal, big hit / surprise / short time signal, high accuracy signal, big hit signal is shown. , LOW, LOW, LOW, respectively, LOW, HIGH, HIGH, LOW in the probability variation state, LOW, HIGH, LOW, LOW in the short-time state, respectively, LOW, LOW, HIGH, LOW in the high-accuracy state, respectively. In the big hit state, it is HIGH, HIGH, LOW, HIGH, respectively, and in the sudden hit state, it is HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW, respectively, and in the small hit state, the output state of the big hit, sudden hit, short time signal, high accuracy signal Since it takes over even in the small hit state, at least the hit common signal is HIGH HIGH the jackpot signal is a LOW state and indeterminate, indefinite, and LOW. That is, the output status of the hit common signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, big hit signal is different in the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish between the period in which the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, and the big hit state are controlled, and the state in which either the sudden hit state or the small hit state is generated.

  In addition, with regard to the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, in the pachinko machines 2a to c of types a to c, it is impossible to distinguish between the big hit state and the sudden hit state and the small hit state in the signal output form. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 2d of this type e has a big hit signal that is output only in the big hit state, so both signals are output (HIGH state) depending on the output state of the hit common signal and the big hit signal. It is possible to discriminate between a big hit state and a small hit state in which only a hit common signal is output (HIGH state) and no big hit signal is output (LOW state).

  In the case of the maintenance type pachinko machine 2e, the sudden hit state and the small hit state depend on the input state of the high accuracy signal at the input time of the hit common signal or at the end of the input of the hit common signal, that is, the hit type. Based on whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the common signal (based on a change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal related to the input of the common signal) . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the small hit is a hit in the normal game state, the probability change state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, even when the hit common signal is input. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even when the input of the common signal is completed. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  Further, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'e, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the game state after the occurrence is the small hit state, whereas the sudden hit state is always Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, the input of the high probability signal at the end of the input of the hit common signal If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, while the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, and the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, at the end of the input of the hit common signal, if it is a big hit / accuracy / short time signal output state (HIGH state), it can be identified as an abrupt hit B, and if it changes to a non-output state (LOW state), the abrupt hit A Can be identified.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, type f pachinko machines 2f and 2'f have a large hit / accuracy / short time signal, a high accuracy signal, a big hit signal, and an output status of the accuracy / small hit signal in the normal state LOW, LOW, LOW, LOW, respectively, HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW in the probabilistic state, HIGH, LOW, LOW, LOW in the short-time state, respectively, LOW, HIGH, LOW, LOW in the high-accuracy state, respectively. In the big hit state, it becomes HIGH, LOW, HIGH, LOW, respectively, and in the sudden hit state, it becomes HIGH, LOW, LOW, HIGH, respectively, and the small hit state is the output state of the big hit / rush / short time signal and high accuracy signal. At least the big hit signal is LOW. In indeterminate 突確-Koatari signal is a HIGH state and indeterminate, LOW, and HIGH. In other words, the output status of big hit / rush accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, big hit signal, sudden accuracy / small hit signal is normal state, probability change state, short time state, high accuracy state, big hit state, sudden hit state and small hit state Therefore, it is possible to distinguish between the period in which the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, and the big hit state are controlled, and the state in which either the sudden hit state or the small hit state is generated.

  In addition, with regard to the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, in the pachinko machines 2a to c of types a to c, it is impossible to distinguish the big hit state from the sudden hit state and the small hit state in the signal output form. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 2f of this type f has a big hit signal that is output only in the big hit state, and a sudden hit / small hit signal that is output in either the sudden hit state or the small hit state. Depending on the output status of the big hit signal and the sudden hit / small hit signal, the big hit state where the big hit signal is output (HIGH state) and the sudden hit state and the small hit state where the sudden hit / small hit signal is output (HIGH state). Can be identified.

  In addition, in the case of the maintenance type pachinko machine 2f, the sudden hit state and the small hit state depend on the input state of the high accuracy signal at the input time of the sudden hit / small hit signal or at the end of input of the sudden hit / small hit signal In other words, based on whether the input state of the high accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the accuracy / small hit signal (in response to the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the accuracy / small hit signal) Can be identified). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, for the small hit, even if it occurs in any of the normal gaming state, the probability variation state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, at the time of input of the sudden / small hit signal. However, the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change even when the input of the suddenness / small hit signal ends. On the other hand, the rush hit state (rush hit A, rush hit B) does not change at the point of input of the rush / small hit signal when it occurs in the normal gaming state or the short time state. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of input and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal is not output (LOW state) when the suddenness / small hit signal is input. ) And the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the suddenness / small hit signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes either at the time of input of the accuracy / small hit signal or at the end of input of the accuracy / small hit signal, it can be distinguished from the status of sudden hit (Accident hit A, B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change at the time of either the input of the suddenness / small hit signal or the end of the input of the accuracy / small hit signal, it can be identified as the small hit state.

  Further, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2′f, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, but always in the sudden hit state. Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, the high probability signal at the end of the input of the sudden / small hit signal If the input state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. . That is, it is possible to discriminate between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the sudden hit / small hit signal.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, while the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, and the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, if the big hit / rush accuracy / short time signal is in the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the burst accuracy / small hit signal, it can be identified as the bump hit B and if it changes to the non-output state (LOW state). It can be identified as a collision hit A.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, the type g pachinko machines 2g and 2'g have normal output statuses of the hit common signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, short time signal and big hit signal. Are LOW, LOW, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively, in the probability variation state, are LOW, HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, and LOW, respectively, and in the short-time state, are LOW, HIGH, LOW, HIGH, and LOW, respectively, LOW, LOW, HIGH, LOW, LOW, respectively, in the big hit state, respectively HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW, HIGH, in the sudden hit state, respectively, HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW, LOW, the small hit state, The output status of large hits, sudden hits, short-time signals, and high-accuracy signals Since taking over even during state, it becomes HIGH, undefined undefined undefined, the LOW at least per common signal jackpot signal is a LOW state at the HIGH state. That is, the output status of the hit common signal, big hit / accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, big hit signal is different in the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish between the period in which the normal state, the probability variation state, the short time state, the high accuracy state, and the big hit state are controlled, and the state in which either the sudden hit state or the small hit state is generated.

  In addition, with regard to the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state, in the pachinko machines 2a to c of types a to c, it is impossible to distinguish between the big hit state and the sudden hit state and the small hit state in the signal output form. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 2g of this type g has a big hit signal output only in the big hit state, so both signals are output (HIGH state) depending on the output state of the hit common signal and the big hit signal. It is possible to discriminate between a big hit state and a small hit state in which only a hit common signal is output (HIGH state) and no big hit signal is output (LOW state).

  In addition, with regard to the sudden hit state and the small hit state, there is a high certainty depending on the input state of the high accuracy signal at the time of input of the hit common signal or the end of input of the hit common signal, that is, in relation to the input of the hit common signal. Can be identified based on whether or not the input state of the signal has changed (based on a change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal associated with the input of the hit common signal). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, for the small hits, even if the game occurs in any of the normal gaming state, the probability variation state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, the winning point is also obtained at the time of input of the winning common signal. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even at the end of the input of the common signal. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  Also, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'g, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, whereas the sudden hit state is always Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, at the end of the input of the hit common signal, If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, the impact accuracy A and the accuracy impact B are those before and after the impact accuracy A and the accuracy impact B are generated in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time shortening state or the probability variation state. Although the gaming state does not change, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state, which is the low base state, or the high probability state, which is the second gaming state including the low base state, the collision probability A is low after the occurrence. While the base state is maintained, the impact hit B changes to a high base state. Therefore, the normal hit state A and the impact hit B generated in the normal gaming state and the high probability state, which are the low base state, are determined before and after the occurrence. Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, the short time signal, and the short time signal, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, if the time-short signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common contact signal, it can be identified as the sudden hit B, and if it does not change to the output state (HIGH state), it is identified as the sudden hit A. it can.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, the type h pachinko machines 2h and 2'h have a hit common signal, a high accuracy signal, and a large hit / rush / short time / high accuracy signal output state of LOW, LOW, LOW, LOW, HIGH, HIGH in the probabilistic state, LOW, LOW, HIGH, respectively, in the short-time state, LOW, HIGH, HIGH, respectively, in the high-accuracy state, and in the big hit state and the sudden hit state, respectively. HIGH, LOW, HIGH, and the small hit state is a high-accuracy signal, large hit, sudden accuracy, short time, and high-accuracy signal output state is inherited even in the small hit state, so that at least the hit common signal is HIGH , Undefined, undefined. That is, the output status of the common hit signal, high accuracy signal, big hit / rush accuracy / short time / high accuracy signal is normal state, probability variation state, short time state, high accuracy state, hit state (big hit state, sudden hit state, small hit state) ), The period during which the normal state, the probability variation state, the short-time state, and the high-accuracy state are controlled is distinguished from the hit state in which either the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state is generated. it can.

  On the other hand, for the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state, the period in which any state is generated can be identified according to the output state of the hit common signal, similarly to the above-described type ac machines. However, it cannot be identified whether the current state is the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state. However, there is a large difference in the number of balls that can be changed, such as the number of balls to be hit, the number of winning balls, and the number of difference balls, between the big hit state and the hit state and the small hit state. From the output state of the hit common signal, the generation period and the number of balls, it is possible to identify whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring.

  In the case of the maintenance type pachinko machine 2h, the sudden hit state and the small hit state depend on the input state of the high-accuracy signal at the input time of the hit common signal or at the end of the input of the hit common signal. Based on whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal has changed in relation to the input of the common signal (based on the change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal related to the input of the common signal) . Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the small hit is a hit in the normal game state, the probability change state, the high probability state, and the short-time state, even at the input time of the hit common signal. There is no change in the input state of the high-accuracy signal even at the end of the input of the common signal. On the other hand, in the case of occurrence in the normal hit state or in the short-time state, the collision contact state (the collision contact A and the collision contact B) does not change at the input point of the hit common signal but at the end point of the input of the hit common signal. If the high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) and occurs in the probability-changing state or the high-accuracy state, the high-accuracy signal changes to the non-output state (LOW state) at the time of input of the hit common signal and The high-accuracy signal changes to the output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the common signal. Therefore, if the input state of the high-accuracy signal changes, either at the time when the hit common signal is input or when the input of the hit common signal ends, it can be identified as a rush hit state (Abrupt hit A, rush hit B). If the input state of the high-accuracy signal does not change either at the input time or at the end of the input of the common signal, it can be distinguished from the small hit state.

  Further, in the case of the normal transition type pachinko machine 2'a, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are always the normal game state when the gaming state after the occurrence is the small hit state, but always in the sudden hit state. Since the game state (high probability state or probability variation state) other than the normal game state is entered, whether or not the game state after the occurrence is a normal game state, that is, at the end of the input of the hit common signal, If the state is a non-output state (LOW state), it can be identified as a small hit, and if the input state of the high-accuracy signal is an output state (HIGH state) at the end of the input of the hit common signal, it can be identified as a sudden hit state. In other words, it is possible to distinguish between the sudden hit state and the small hit state based on the change in the input state of the high accuracy signal related to the input of the hit common signal.

  In this type h pachinko machine 2h, in any gaming state, the output form of each signal in the front and rear and in the collision contact state is the collision contact A and the collision contact, regardless of the occurrence of the collision contact A and the collision contact B. Since all of them are the same at B, it is not possible to distinguish the rush hit A and the rush hit B.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, type i pachinko machines 2i and 2'i are in the normal state in which the output state of the big hit / accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, big hit signal, sudden hit signal, and small hit signal is normal. Are LOW, LOW, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively. In the probability variation state, they are HIGH, HIGH, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively, and in the short-time state, they are HIGH, LOW, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively. LOW, HIGH, LOW, LOW, LOW, and LOW, respectively, in the big hit state, HIGH, LOW, HIGH, LOW, and LOW, respectively, and in the sudden hit state, respectively, HIGH, LOW, LOW, HIGH, and LOW, and the small hit state Indicates the output status of the big hit, sudden accuracy, short time signal, and high accuracy signal. Ri so take over even during the state, it becomes unstable, indeterminate, LOW, LOW, and HIGH to Koatari signal 突確 per signal at least big hit signal is LOW state at LOW state is a HIGH state. In other words, the output status of big hit / rush accuracy / short time signal, high accuracy signal, big hit signal, sudden hit signal, small hit signal is normal state, probability change state, short time state, high accuracy state, big hit state, bump hit state, small Since all are different in the hit state, each period controlled in the normal state, the probability variation state, the short-time state, the high accuracy state, the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state can be identified.

  In addition, the impact contact A and the impact contact B are the front and rear when the impact contact A and the impact contact B occur in the second game state including the high base state, that is, in the time-short state or the probability variation state. Since there is no difference between the hit state A and the hit point B in the gaming state, it cannot be identified, but if it occurs in the normal gaming state that is the low base state or the high probability state that is the second gaming state including the low base state, After the occurrence, the low base state is maintained at the impact accuracy A, while the impact accuracy B changes to the high base state. Therefore, the impact accuracy A generated in the normal gaming state and the high accuracy state which are the low base states Can be identified by the change in the output state of the big hit, the accuracy, and the short time signal before and after the occurrence, that is, the change in the gaming state. Specifically, at the time when the input of the rush hit signal is finished, if the big hit / rush / short time signal is in the output state (HIGH state), it can be identified as the rush hit B, and if it changes to the non-output state (LOW state) A can be identified.

  As described above, the start signal that is output as a pulse having a predetermined time width every time a lottery is performed in accordance with a winning at the start winning opening 114 is lottery execution information that can specify that the lottery has been performed. is there.

  Moreover, in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the types a to i used in the present embodiment, the normal state and the short time state, the probability variation state and the high accuracy state are obtained by the high accuracy signal as described above. Since each of these high-accuracy signals can be identified, these high-probability signals indicate whether the gaming state is the first gaming state (normal gaming state, short-time state) or the second gaming state (probability changing state, high-probability state). This is game state information for identification.

  In addition, in the pachinko machines 2a to 2c and 2h of types a to c and h used in the present embodiment, as described later, the occurrence of all hit states including the small hit state is identified based on the hit common signal, and Based on the output period of these hit common signals and the respective threshold values, the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are distinguished. Further, in type a, a high accuracy signal, in type b, a high accuracy signal, and in type c, In the high-accuracy signal, type h, the occurrence of the small hit state is identified by the presence / absence of a change in the gaming state specified by the high-accuracy signal at the occurrence or end of the hit state or the small hit state. These hit common signals and high accuracy signals correspond to the specific gaming state information in the present invention, and in type d and type f, the hit / small hit signal, in type e and type g, the common signal The big hit signal (the state where the hit common signal is output and the big hit signal is not output) is used to identify the occurrence of the small hit state and the sudden hit state. In addition, in type d, type e and type f, a high accuracy signal, type In g, since the occurrence of the small hit state is identified by the presence or absence of the game state specified by the high probability signal at the occurrence or end of the hit state or the small hit state, these hit common signal, big hit signal The hit / small hit signal and the high-accuracy signal correspond to the specific gaming state information in the present invention. In addition, in the type i pachinko machine 2i, the occurrence of a small hit state and the occurrence of other hits such as a big hit state and a sudden hit state can be distinguished depending on whether or not a small hit signal is output. This corresponds to the specific game state information in the present invention.

  In addition, the specific game state information of the present embodiment includes the hit common signal, the big hit as the specific game state information for identifying the sudden hit state (second specific game state) and the small hit state (third specific game state).・ Includes accuracy / short-time signal, high-accuracy signal, time-short signal, big hit signal, big hit / accuracy / time-short signal / high accuracy signal, sudden accuracy / small hit signal, small hit signal.

Until the hit state is identified, that is, for types a to c and h, the big hit, the bumpy hit, and the small hit are discriminated. In the period until it is sent, a transmission data string not including gaming state data (specifically, including gaming state data of a specific value indicating indefinite) is transmitted, and when these hit states are identified, A transmission data string including game state data corresponding to the identified winning state is transmitted. However, in this case, if the identified winning state is a small hit, the hall computer excludes these small hits by not transmitting a transmission data string including game state data corresponding to the small hit. There is no need to carry out the processing.

  In the case of the type i pachinko machine 2i, even if the occurrence of a small hit is recognized in the input of the small hit signal, the transmission data string transmission process includes the gaming state data of the identified small hit state. ) The transmission data string is not transmitted to the hall computer.

A value that is larger than the predicted value and smaller than the predicted value of the number of hit balls during the big hit may be set.

  In addition, the countdown notification setting unit sets the start number (initial value) of the number of start times that are counted down in response to the input of the start signal, and whether or not the possibility notification is performed after the countdown display, and the possibility notification When performing the setting, the countdown display value for performing the possibility notification is set as the number of executions. Specifically, as the number of start times (initial value), the reciprocal of the probability of the corresponding pachinko machine in the highly probable state, that is, the winning probability in the normal gaming state is 1/300, and in the highly probable state, it is ten times that If it is 1/30, there is a high possibility that it will be in a hit state before the number of start times reaches 30, so these 30 times may be set as the number of start times (initial value), and the possibility notification is carried out For example, when the possibility notification is to be performed after all 30 countdown displays have been completed, “0” is set to the number of start times, so that the start count has become “0” due to the countdown. The possibility notification is carried out, and the possibility notification is being counted down. For example, the number of start times becomes “10” due to the countdown, that is, the start number is 20 times. If you want to implement the possibility notification in step may be set to "10".

  Then, after all the setting items are input, by inputting a setting button, setting data including the contents set on the call lamp setting screen is transmitted to the setting target call lamp device 200. Receiving the setting data, the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 of the calling lamp device 200 updates the setting information in the setting information table based on the received setting data. Specifically, the model number entered in the model name input section is stored in the model name field for the model number corresponding to the island number selected on the target model, and the selected model number, and type setting Whether automatic setting (0) or manual setting (1) is stored in the item, and when manual setting is specified, the selected type (ai) is stored in the signal type item, and manual setting is specified And when the types a to c and type h are selected, the number of threshold driving balls input in the threshold driving ball number item, the countdown start number input in the countdown notification setting unit, and the possibility notification Implementation (1) / non-execution (0), the number of notification implementations is stored.

  That is, in the hall computer of the present embodiment, the countdown start number that is a predetermined numerical value can be set and changed with respect to the number of lotteries in the present invention. The hall computer further sets the setting data from the hall computer. The control microcomputer 279 that receives the information and updates the setting information table forms the setting change means in the present invention.

  In this embodiment, the setting change of the countdown start frequency is performed by the hall computer. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the setting of the countdown start frequency is individually set. You may enable it to implement in the dip switch 277 provided in the calling lamp apparatus 200. FIG.

  Next, the flowchart of FIG. 28 shows the contents of the connection confirmation process that is executed when the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 stores “1” indicating automatic setting in the type setting of the setting information table. This will be explained based on.

  In the connection confirmation process, first, the connection state at each terminal of the signal input unit 278 is acquired, and 9-bit connection state data indicating the connection state of the terminals 1 to 9 (the connection state of the terminals 1 to 9 in order from the left bit). , 0: non-connection, 1: connection) is stored in the connection state of the setting information table (Sa1).

  Then, a pachinko machine type corresponding to the stored connection state is set (Sa2). Specifically, type a is set if the connection state is “111000000”, type b is set if the connection state is “101100000”, type c is set if the connection state is “1111000000”, and the connection state is “111001000”. If the connection status is “1111010000”, the type e is set. If the connection status is “011011000”, the type f is set. If the connection status is “1111110000”, the type g is set. If it is “100100100”, type h is set, and if the connection state is “011010011”, type i is set (Sa2).

  If these types can be specified, the process proceeds from step Sa3 to Sa4, the specified type is registered in the type of the setting information table, and the process ends. On the other hand, if these types cannot be specified, that is, If the terminals are connected by mistake, a setting error including the unit ID of the calling lamp device 200 is transmitted to the hall computer, and the process ends. As a result, in the hall computer, automatic type setting was not possible.In other words, when checking or adjusting after the end of the previous day's business or before the start of today's business, the cord was disconnected from the terminal, or the missing code was mistakenly The mounted call lamp device 200 can be confirmed on the hall computer.

  Next, a data update process for the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 to update today's data in the game information table and state-specific data in the history table will be described.

  These data update processes have a plurality of modes depending on the method of distinguishing the big hit state, the sudden hit state and the small hit state in the type a to c and type h pachinko machines a to c, h that output a hit common signal, Here, the first to sixth aspects are illustrated.

  First, the first aspect of the data update process will be described. The data update process of the first aspect includes an update process 1 and a game state change process 1 that is executed when the game state data indicates a change in the game state. Is done.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of update processing 1 constituting the data update processing of the first mode.

  In the update process 1, first, it is monitored whether or not the input state of the terminals 1 to 12 of the signal input unit 278 has changed (Sb0).

  If the input state of the terminals 1 to 12 has changed, the process proceeds to step Sb1, and the game state data stored in the latest (current) game state data in the game information table is transferred to the previous game state data. , The game state data included in the transmission data string is stored in the latest game state data, and if the change is an input of a start signal, the total number of starts and the number of hits in the game information table and the latest state of the history table Add and update the total start count and start count of the game state in different data, and if the change is input of a prize ball signal, the game state in the total data of the game information table and the latest status data in the history table The total number of winning balls, the number of winning balls, and the difference ball are updated. Number of balls and to update the latest total fastening tool piece count of the game state in the state-specific data and the implanted piece count and Sadama the history table (Sb1).

  Next, the previous gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the latest (current) gaming state data, and whether the gaming state data has changed, that is, the corresponding pachinko machine that is the input state of the terminals 1 to 9 It is determined whether or not the game state has changed (Sb2), and if the game state data has not changed, the countdown display state started in the game state change process described later (possibility of FIG. 45 (c)) (Sb7), and it is determined whether or not the number of hits after hitting reaches a preset countdown display end number, for example, 60 (Sb8).

  When the countdown display state is not reached, or when the countdown display end count has been reached, the process proceeds to step Sb6 and normal display including the base data updated based on the updated data updated in step Sb1 (see FIG. 45 (a)) to return to the monitoring state of Sb0 described above, the base data of the normal display screen is updated if it is in the normal display state, and the number of hits after start is counted down in the countdown display state. When the display end count is reached, the countdown display is ended.

  On the other hand, when the countdown display state is reached and the countdown display end count has not been reached, the countdown display screen (see FIGS. 45B and 45C) is updated according to the updated start count. The countdown display screen update process shown in FIG. 31B is performed (Sb9).

  In the countdown display screen update process in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31B, first, it is determined whether or not the change in the input state detected in Sb0 is the input of the start signal (Ss1). ) If the change in the input state is not the input of the start signal, the process proceeds to Ss2, and only the base data in the countdown display screen is updated based on the game information in the updated game information table, and the countdown display is performed. The screen updating process is terminated and the monitoring state of Sb0 is returned to.

  When the change in the input state is the input of the start signal, the process proceeds to Ss3, where it is determined whether or not the possibility display shown in FIG. If not, the process proceeds to Ss4, where it is determined whether or not the countdown display has reached the number of notification executions stored in the setting information table, for example, “0”, and reaches “0” which is the number of notification executions. If not, if the countdown display at that time, for example, the countdown value before the update is “30” as shown in FIG. 45B, it is subtracted and updated to “29” (Ss5), then Ss2 Then, the base data in the countdown display screen is updated, the countdown display screen update process is terminated, and the monitoring state of Sb0 is returned to.

  On the other hand, if the possibility display is being performed, or if the countdown display has reached “0” which is the number of notifications, the process proceeds to Ss6, and it is possible to respond to the number of hits after the hit in the game information table The possibility (%) is specified in the possibility table shown in FIG. 25 (c). For example, if it is “0”, it corresponds to 30 times as the number of start after hit, so the possibility shown in FIG. 25 (c) After specifying “35%” corresponding to the 30 times in the table, and updating the specified possibility (%) “35%” instead of the possibility (%) before update or countdown display , The process proceeds to Ss2, the table data in the countdown display screen is updated, the countdown display screen update process is terminated, and the monitoring state of Sb0 is returned to.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the countdown display of FIG. 45 (b) that is started based on the end of the sudden hit state or the small hit state in the game state change process 1 described later is 1 for each start signal input. As shown in FIG. 45 (c), after the value of the countdown display has reached the number of notifications in the setting information table, until the number of hits after start reaches the number of display ends, The possibility display is updated each time a start signal is input.

  On the other hand, if the game state data has changed in the step of Sb2, the state-specific data in the history table is determined as the state-specific data before the change with the change of the game state, and the state-specific data after the change is newly After registering and executing the game state changing process 1 for notifying the changed gaming state (Sb3), the new gaming state after the change is a hit state (a big hit state or a sudden hit state or a small hit state) It is determined whether or not.

  If it is a win state, the process proceeds from step Sb4 to Sb5, and the number of times corresponding to the non-addition hit in which “1” is stored as flag data in the addition reservation in the history table, that is, the game information table, If the non-added hit is a rush hit A, add 1 to the rush A count, and if the non-added hit is a rush hit B, add 1 to the rush B count and update. If there is one, the number of small hits is incremented and updated, and then the process proceeds to step Sb6. As shown in FIG. 46, the updated number of times is emphasized by performing display inversion and non-execution, for example, no addition In the case where the hit is the hit accuracy A and 1 is added to the number of the hit accuracy A and updated, the number of the hit accuracy A is highlighted and displayed by performing the display inversion, and then the monitoring state of Sb0 described above. While hitting If not, proceed to Sb6 step from Sb4, return to implement normal display including a base data updated based on the updated data has been updated in step Sb1 the monitoring state of Sb0 above.

  That is, an unadded hit in which “1” is stored as flag data in the addition reservation is added and updated at the corresponding number of hits at the time of the next hit state after the unadded hit. By highlighting the hit made and notifying the player or the like, the player can recognize that the previous hit was the added and highlighted hit.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the gaming state change process 1 executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in the step Sb3 of the update process 1 constituting the data update process of the first mode. The processing contents of the game state change process 1 will be described based on the above.

  In this gaming state change process 1, it is determined whether or not the corresponding pachinko machine type is type a, b, c, h by referring to the type in the setting information table (Sc1), and the type is type a, If it is b, c, h, the value of terminal 1 of the latest (current) gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the previous value of terminal 1, and the value of terminal 1 has changed from 0 to 1 It is determined whether or not the game state has shifted to a big hit state, a sudden hit state or a small hit state (Sc2).

  In addition, when the value of terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) gaming state data is changed from 0 to 1 in the step of Sc2, the latest state-specific data in the history table is determined and new state-specific data is registered. In addition, the game state item does not store the game state, but stores the current time as the occurrence time, obtains the total start number, the total number of hit balls, the total number of winning balls in the game information table, Stored as the total number of starts, the total number of hit balls, and the total number of winning balls at the time of occurrence of the gaming state (Sc3), and further specify the notification form corresponding to the big hit state based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. Then, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the notification format of the specified big hit state (Sc3 +), and the gaming state change processing 1 is ended.

  If the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest gaming state data stored in the gaming information table does not change from 0 to 1, the process proceeds to the steps Sc2 to Sc4, and the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data is 1. It is determined whether or not the game state has changed to 0, that is, whether or not the gaming state is a big hit state, a sudden hit state or a small hit state, that is, whether or not the hit state has ended.

  When the value of the terminal 1 changes from 1 to 0 in the step of Sc4, the number of shots in the gaming state in the latest data by state in the history table, that is, the number of shots in the hit state in which the end is determined. Is determined whether it exceeds the threshold driving ball number set in the setting information table (Sc5), and when the hit ball number in the hit state where the end is determined exceeds the threshold driving ball number The gaming state before the change, that is, the hit state determined to be finished is identified as the big hit state, and 1 is added to the number of big hits in the game information table and updated (Sc6), and the latest state-specific data game in the history table is also updated. When the identified big hit state is stored as the state (Sc6 +), the process proceeds to the step of Sc9, and the number of hit balls in the hit state determined to be finished does not exceed the threshold shot number Advances to the step of Sc7, and as shown in FIG. 45 (b), the countdown display screen displaying the countdown start count 30 in the setting information table is displayed to start the countdown display, and the game before the change After performing the accuracy / small hit identification process for identifying whether the state is a sudden hit state or a small hit state (Sc8), the game state of the latest data according to the state in the history table is as follows: The hit state identified by the identification process (abrupt hit A, hit B, small hit) is stored, and “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve (Sc8 +), and the process proceeds to Sc9.

  In the step of Sc9, the gaming state identification table of the corresponding pachinko machine type set in the setting information table, that is, if it is type a, refer to the gaming state identification table of FIG. 15 is referred to, the game state identification table of FIG. 16 is referred to in the case of type c, and the game state identification table of FIG. 21 is referred to in the case of type h. The corresponding gaming state is identified as the changed gaming state.

  Next, the state-specific data in the history table in which the game state is stored in the step of Sc6 + or Sc8 + is determined, the state-specific data is newly registered, and the game state and occurrence identified in the item of the game state in the step of Sc9 Each time is stored as the time, and the total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are obtained, and the total number of start times and total shot balls when the game state occurs 24, the notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sc9 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the specified notification form is displayed on the display screen 261. By controlling the display and lighting state of the notification lamp, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sc9 has occurred ( c10), to end the game state change process 1.

  Further, when the value of the terminal 1 does not change from 1 to 0 in the step of Sc4, the latest gaming state is referred to by referring to the gaming state identification table corresponding to the pachinko machine type set in the setting information table. The gaming state corresponding to the data is identified as the changed gaming state (Sc11).

  Then, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the gaming state identified in the step Sc11 is stored in the gaming state item, and the current time is stored as the occurrence time. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification mode corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sc11 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display mode 261 display and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification mode. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sc11 has occurred (Sc12), and the gaming state changing process 1 is terminated.

  FIG. 31A shows the processing contents of the suddenness / small hit identification process executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in the step Sc7 of the update process 1 constituting the data update process of the first mode in the present embodiment. The processing contents of the accuracy / small hit identification processing will be described based on the flowchart.

  First, in the accuracy / small hit identification process, the gaming state after changing the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data with reference to the gaming state identification table corresponding to the pachinko machine type set in the setting information table (Sq1).

  Then, proceeding to the step of Sq2, whether or not the identified current game state after the change is a normal game state, that is, the game state data after the change is a normal state in which a high-accuracy signal is in a non-output state (LOW state) It is determined whether or not it matches the gaming state data of the gaming state, and when the high-accuracy signal is a normal gaming state that is a non-output state (LOW state), the corresponding pachinko machine is a normal transition type. Then, the process proceeds to step Sq5, where the gaming state before the change is identified as the small hit state, and the sudden / small hit identifying process is terminated.

  Further, when the specified current gaming state after the change is not the normal gaming state, it is stored as the gaming state of the new state-specific data next to the latest state-specific data in the history table, that is, the latest state-specific data. The gaming state before the hit or small hit state is compared with the current gaming state specified in step Sq1, and it is determined whether or not there is a change in the gaming state (Sq3). Specifically, the game state data corresponding to the type of the pachinko machine to which the game state stored in the state-by-state data stored as the latest state-by-state data or the state-by-state hit or small hit state corresponds, That is, the value corresponding to the terminal 3 corresponding to the high-accuracy signal of the game state data before the hit state or the small hit state is compared with the value corresponding to the terminal 3 corresponding to the high-accuracy signal of the current game state data. Then, by determining whether or not the input state of the high-accuracy signal at the terminal 3 has changed, the pachinko machines 2a to 2e other than the type f, when the sudden hit state or the small hit state ends, that is, 2g to h, it is determined whether or not the high-accuracy signal has changed when the input of the hit common signal is completed, and in the type f pachinko machine 2f, the input of the suddenness / small hit signal is completed. To become.

  If there is no change in the determination in Sq3, the process proceeds to step Sq4, and the previous game state data in the game information table, that is, the game in the hit state or small hit state before the game state at that time is reached. Signal output in the state of collision hit corresponding to the type of pachinko machine corresponding to the type of pachinko machine corresponding to the type of pachinko machine corresponding to the type of pachinko machine corresponding to the type of pachinko machine corresponding to that pachinko machine type. It is determined whether it corresponds to the form. Specifically, the previous game state data that is the game state data during the hit or small hit state is changed to the signal output form of the hit state in which the high-accuracy signal and the time-short signal are not output (LOW state). By judging whether or not it is true, when the sudden hit state or the small hit state occurs, that is, when the input of the hit common signal is started in the pachinko machines 2a to 2e, 2g to h other than the type f In the type f pachinko machine 2f, it is determined whether or not there is a change in the high-accuracy signal (or the short time signal) at the time when the input of the suddenness / small hit signal is started.

  If the determination result in step Sq4 does not correspond to the signal output form of the sudden hit state, the process proceeds to step Sq5, where the gaming state before the change is identified as the small hit state, while the determination in step Sq3 is made. When the result is a determination result that there is a change in the gaming state, or when the determination result in the step of Sq4 corresponds to the signal output form in the sudden hit state, the process proceeds to the step of Sq6 and the pachinko machine It is determined whether or not the type is a type h that cannot distinguish the accuracy hit A and the accuracy hit B. If the type is type h, the process proceeds to step Sq10, and the gaming state before the change is changed to the accuracy hit B. And finish the process of identifying the accuracy / small hits.

  On the other hand, if it is not type h, the process proceeds from step Sq6 to step Sq7, whereby the game state identification process including steps Sq7 to Sq10 for identifying whether or not the game state before the change is the collision hit A is determined. Migrate to

  In this sudden hit identification process, first, in step Sq7, after the latest state-specific data in the history table, the game state of the new state-specific data, that is, before the hit state stored as the latest state-specific data is entered. It is determined whether or not the gaming state is a gaming state including a low base state in which the accuracy hit A and the accuracy hit B can be distinguished, that is, a normal gaming state or a high probability state. If it is determined that the state is not the high probability state, the process proceeds to step Sq10, where the gaming state before the change is identified as a surprise hit B, and the sudden / small hit identification process is terminated. In other words, in this embodiment, the rush hit A that occurs in the high base state (short-time state and probability variation state) is also identified as the rush hit B and is counted as the rush B count. There is no limitation, and a gaming state including a low base state, that is, a collision base B generated in a normal gaming state or a high-probability state is further identified, and the collision base A and the collision base B cannot be identified. The impact accuracy A and the impact accuracy B generated in step 1 are identified as the impact accuracy, and the impact accuracy A, the impact accuracy B, and the impact accuracy are identified separately, and the number of occurrences of the impact accuracy A is the number of occurrences of the impact accuracy A. In addition, the number of bumps B, which is the number of occurrences of bumps B, and the number of bumps, which is the number of occurrences of bumps, may be summed up individually and displayed as stand data.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in the step Sq7 that the game state is the normal game state or the highly probable state, the process proceeds to the step Sq8, and the new game state after the change, that is, the latest (current) game state of the game information table. It is determined whether or not the gaming state corresponding to the data is a probability variation state. That is, by determining whether or not the latest (current) game state data is the game state data corresponding to the probability change state, the game state data of the normal game state or the high probability state before the occurrence of the rush hit state is determined. The big hit, sudden hit, short time signal or short time signal (type b) from the non-output state (LOW state) of the big hit, sudden hit, short time signal or short time signal (type b, c, g) , C, g) by determining whether or not the output state (HIGH state) has been changed, the time when the sudden hit state is finished, that is, when the input of the common signal is finished for types a to g , Type f is at the end of the input of the sudden hit / small hit signal, type i is at the end of the input of the hit positive signal, whether the big hit / rush / short time signal or the short time signal (type b, c, g) is HIGH Or The be determined.

  In the determination in step Sq8, it is determined that the probability variation state is not established, that is, the big hit / accuracy / short time signal or the short time signal (type b, c, g) is in the LOW state at the time when the sudden hit state is finished. In this case, the process proceeds to step Sq9, where the gaming state before the change is identified as a surprise hit A, and the endurance / small hit discrimination process is completed. On the other hand, the probability change state is reached. If it is determined that the big hit / accuracy / time-short signal or the time-short signal (type b, c, g) is in the HIGH state, the process proceeds to step Sq10, and the gaming state before the change is identified as the abrupt hit B. Thus, the accuracy / small hit identification process is completed.

  Next, when the type of the pachinko machine is not type a, b, c, h, that is, when the type is d to g, i, it is determined “No” in the above-mentioned Sc1, and the process proceeds to Sc13. The individual signal type process shown in FIG. 32 is performed.

  In this individual signal type process, as shown in FIG. 32, the gaming state corresponding to the latest (current) gaming state data is identified with reference to the gaming state identification table of the corresponding type by the pachinko machine ( Sr1), it is determined whether or not the type of the pachinko machine is a type i that can identify the sudden hit and the small hit by the signal output form (Sr2).

  If it is not type i in the determination in the Sr2 step, that is, if the type is d to g, the process proceeds to the Sr3 step, and the new gaming state after the change identified in the Sr1 step is a sudden hit or small hit. If it is a hit or small hit, the process proceeds to step Sr9 to determine the latest state-specific data in the history table and newly register the state-specific data. In the game state item, the game time is not stored, but the current time is stored as an occurrence time, and the total start number, the total number of shot balls, and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are obtained. The display form setting shown in FIG. 24 is stored as the total number of starts at the time of occurrence, the total number of thrown balls, the total number of winning balls, and further corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sr1 In accordance with the table, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification form, and the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sr1 has occurred. Then, the individual signal type process (game state change process 1) is terminated.

  Further, if the new gaming state after the change identified in the step Sr1 does not correspond to the odd hit or the small hit, the process proceeds from the step Sr3 to the step Sr4, and the gaming state in the latest state-specific data in the history table, That is, it is determined whether or not the game state before the change is unregistered, and if not registered, the latest data by state in the history table, that is, the data by state of the game state before the change is determined and newly In addition to registering data by state, the gaming state identified in the Sr1 step and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the gaming state item, respectively, and the total number of starts, the total number of shots in the gaming information table, The total number of winning balls is acquired and stored as the total number of starts, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls at the time of occurrence of the game state (Sr8), and individual signal type processing (game form) To complete the change process 1).

  On the other hand, when the game state before the change is unregistered, the process proceeds to step Sr5, and as shown in FIG. 45 (b), a countdown display screen displaying 30 which is the countdown start number in the setting information table is displayed. In addition, the countdown display is started, and at the same time, a sudden / small hit identification process is performed to identify whether the game state before the change is a sudden hit state or a small hit state (Sr6).

  The content of the Sr6 accuracy / small hit identification processing is the same as the accuracy / small hit identification processing shown in FIG. 31A in the step of Sc8, and from the steps Sq1 to Sq10 shown in FIG. 31A. By executing the rush accuracy / small hit identification process, whether the gaming state before the change that has not been registered is a small hit, a rush hit A generated in a low base state, or other than the rush hit A After identifying whether or not the shock hit B (including the hit base hit A in the high base state), the process proceeds to the step of Sr7, and as the gaming state of the latest data according to the state in the history table, A, the winning hit B, and the small hit) are stored, and “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve, and then the process proceeds to step Sr8.

  In step Sr8, after determining the state-specific data in which the game state is stored in step Sr7, the state-specific data is newly registered, and the game state (Sq1) identified in the game state item in the step Sr1. And the current time as the occurrence time are stored, and the total number of starts, the total number of balls to be thrown, and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are obtained, and the occurrence of the game state Stored as the total number of start times, the total number of thrown balls, and the total number of winning balls, and the individual signal type processing (game state change processing 1) is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the type corresponding to the pachinko machine is type i, the process proceeds from Sr2 to Sr10, and it is determined whether or not the new gaming state after the change identified in Sr1 corresponds to a small hit. To do.

  If the new gaming state after the change corresponds to a small hit, the process proceeds to step Sr18 to determine the latest state-specific data in the history table, register new state-specific data, and change the gaming state. The game state (small hit) identified in the step of Sr1 and the current time as the time of occurrence are stored in the item, and the total number of starts, total number of shots and total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired, and the game Stored as the total number of starts at the time of occurrence of the state, the total number of balls thrown in, and the total number of winning balls, and after storing (setting) “1” in the corresponding additional reserve, individual signal type processing (game state change processing 1 ) Ends.

  If the new game state after the change does not correspond to the small hit, the process proceeds to step Sr11, and it is determined whether or not the new game state after the change identified in the step Sr1 corresponds to the odd hit. .

  If the new game state after the change corresponds to the odd hit, the process proceeds to step Sr19 to determine the latest state-specific data in the history table, newly register the state-specific data, The item does not store the game state, but stores the current time as the time of occurrence, obtains the total number of starts, total number of shots and total number of winning balls in the game information table, and at the time of occurrence of the game state After storing the total number of starts, the total number of balls to be thrown, and the total number of winning balls, the individual signal type process (game state change process 1) is terminated.

  If the new gaming state after the change identified in the step Sr1 does not correspond to the odd hit, the process proceeds from the step Sr11 to the step Sr12, that is, the gaming state in the latest state data in the history table, that is, the change. It is determined whether or not the previous gaming state is unregistered or a small hit, and if it is not registered or a small hit, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed and new state-specific data is registered. In addition, the gaming state identified in the Sr1 step and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the gaming state item, respectively, and the total number of starts, the total number of balls to be thrown, and the total number of winning balls are obtained in the gaming information table. And stored as the total number of starts, the total number of thrown balls, the total number of winning balls at the time of occurrence of the gaming state, and the gaming state identified in the step of Sr1 The corresponding notification mode is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, the display state of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification mode, and the gaming state identified in step Sr1 is determined. The player and the staff are notified of the occurrence (Sr17), and the individual signal type process (game state changing process 1) is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the game state before the change is unregistered or small hit, the process proceeds from Sr12 to Sr13, and as shown in FIG. 45 (b), 30 is displayed as the countdown start count in the setting information table. The countdown display screen is displayed to start the countdown display, and it is determined whether or not the game state before the change is a small hit (Sr14).

  If the game state before the change is a small hit, the process proceeds to step Sr17 to determine the latest state-specific data in the history table, newly register the state-specific data, and step Sr1 to the game state item. The game state identified in step 1 and the current time as the occurrence time are respectively stored, and the total number of starts, the total number of balls hit and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are obtained, The number of start times, the total number of balls to be thrown in, and the total number of winning balls are stored, and further, the notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sr1 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. By controlling the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp in the notification mode, the player and the staff, etc. that the gaming state identified in the step of Sr1 has occurred Notification to (SR17), and ends the individual by signal type processing (game state change process 1).

  On the other hand, if the game state before the change is not a small hit, that is, if the game state is not registered, the process proceeds to step Sr15, and a surprise hit identification process is performed to identify the type of the surprise hit that is the game state before the change. To do.

  The processing contents of the sudden hit identification process of Sr15 are the same as the processes of Sq7 to Sq10 described above in the sudden hit / small hit identification process shown in FIG. 31 (a), and by executing the processes of Sq7 to Sq10, The game state before the change is a rush hit A generated in the low base state, or a rush hit B other than the rush hit A generated in the low base state (the bump hit A generated in the high base state) And the process proceeds to step Sr16, so that the game state of the latest state-specific data in the history table, that is, the unregistered game state is identified in the sudden hit identification process of Sr15. The identified game state, that is, the probability hit A and the probability hit B are stored, and “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve, and the process proceeds to step Sr17. After confirming the state-specific data storing the game state, the state-specific data is newly registered, and the game state identified in the Sr1 step in the game state item and the current time as the occurrence time, Store the total number of starts, the total number of shots and the total number of winning balls in the game information table, and store them as the total number of starts, the total number of shots and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs Then, the individual signal type process (game state change process 1) is terminated.

  As described above, in the update process 1 and the game state change process 1 constituting the data update process of the first aspect, even in the period of the type a, b, c, h pachinko machine, that is, the big win state, In the case of a pachinko machine that outputs a common hit common signal to the terminal 1 both during the state period and during the small hit state period, the hit common signal changed from LOW to HIGH as shown in FIG. The hit common signal indicating the period from the time point (ta1) to the time point when the hit common signal changes from HIGH to LOW (ta2 or ta4), that is, the period in which the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is generated It is determined whether the number of driven balls counted during the output period exceeds the threshold number of shot balls set in the game information table, and a hit common signal is output. When the number of shot balls counted in a given period exceeds the threshold shot number, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is identified as the big hit state, and the hit common signal is output during the period in which the hit common signal is output. When the number of hit balls does not exceed the threshold hit ball count, it is identified as a butt hit state or a small hit state. According to the change of the gaming state before and after the hit state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is further distinguished into a sudden hit state and a small hit state, A type in which a common hit common signal is output even during a period where a big hit state occurs, a period where a sudden hit state occurs, and a period where a small hit state occurs , B, c, h pachinko machines 2a-c, h and pachinko machines 2'a-c, 2'h, even when managing game information, the occurrence of a big hit state based on the input of this hit common signal, It is possible to individually identify the occurrence of the sudden hit state and the occurrence of the small hit state.

  In addition, in the update process 1 and the game state change process 1 constituting the data update process of the first aspect, types d, e, and f that can distinguish between a big hit state, a sudden hit state, and a small hit state by the output form of the signal. In the case of pachinko machines of, g, i, by executing the individual signal type processing of Sc13, each gaming state including the big hit state is identified, and the gaming information in the gaming information table is updated, and these identifications are made. The game information between each gaming state is stored and managed in the history table, and further, whether the identified sudden hit state and small hit state are the small hit state, the sudden hit A, or the sudden hit B Whether or not the changed gaming state is the normal gaming state (corresponding to the normal transition type), the change in the gaming state before and after the winning state, Since the game information in the game information table is identified by the output form of the output signal in the hit state and is stored and managed in the history table together with the game information in between, the types d, e, f, g, i The game information of the pachinko machines 2d to g, 2i and the pachinko machines 2'd to g, 2'i can be managed.

  Next, the second aspect of the data update process will be described. The data update process of the second aspect is performed by an update process 2 and a game state change process 2 executed when the game state data indicates a change in the game state. Composed.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the update processing 2 constituting the data update processing of the second mode.

  In the update process 2, first, it is monitored whether or not the input state of the terminals 1 to 12 of the signal input unit 278 has changed (Sd0).

  When the input state of the terminals 1 to 12 changes, the process proceeds to step Sd1, and the game state data stored in the latest (current) game state data in the game information table is transferred to the previous game state data. , The game state data included in the transmission data string is stored in the latest game state data, and if the change is an input of a start signal, the total number of starts and the number of hits in the game information table and the latest state of the history table Add and update the total start count and start count of the game state in different data, and if the change is input of a prize ball signal, the game state in the total data of the game information table and the latest status data in the history table The total number of winning balls, the number of winning balls, and the difference ball are updated. Number of balls and to update the latest total fastening tool piece count of the game state in the state-specific data and the implanted piece count and Sadama the history table (Sd1).

  Next, the previous gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the latest (current) gaming state data, and whether the gaming state data has changed, that is, the corresponding pachinko machine that is the input state of the terminals 1 to 9 It is determined whether or not the gaming state has changed (Sd2), and if the gaming state data has not changed, the countdown display state started in the gaming state change process described later (possibility of FIG. 45 (c)) (Including display state) (Sd7), and it is determined whether the number of hits after hitting has reached a preset countdown display end number, for example, 60 (Sd8).

  When the countdown display state is not reached, or when the countdown display end count has been reached, the process proceeds to step Sd6, and the normal display including the table data updated based on the updated data updated in step Sd1 (see FIG. 45 (a)), the process proceeds to step Sd10.

  On the other hand, when the countdown display state is reached and the countdown display end count has not been reached, the countdown display screen (see FIGS. 45B and 45C) is updated according to the updated start count. After performing the countdown display screen update process shown in FIG. 31B, the process proceeds to step Sd10. Note that the countdown display screen update process is the same as the countdown display screen update process of Sb9 in update process 1, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  On the other hand, if the game state data has changed in the step of Sd2, the state-specific data in the history table is determined as the state-specific data before the change with the change of the game state, and the state-specific data after the change is newly After registering and executing the game state change process 2 for notifying the changed game state (Sd3), the new game state after the change is a hit state (a big hit state or a sudden hit state or a small hit state) It is determined whether or not.

  If it is a win state, the process proceeds from step Sd4 to step Sd5, and the game information table corresponds to the number of hits that have not been added in which "1" is stored as flag data in the addition reservation in the history table, that is, If the non-added hit is a rush hit A, add 1 to the rush A count, and if the non-added hit is a rush hit B, add 1 to the rush B count and update. If there is one, the number of small hits is added and updated, and then the process proceeds to step Sd6. As shown in FIG. 46, the updated number of times is emphasized by performing display inversion and non-execution, for example, no addition In the case where the winning hit is a hitting hit A and 1 is added to the number of hitting accuracy A, the number of hitting accuracy A is highlighted by performing display inversion or not, and then the process proceeds to step Sd10. It ’s in a hit state Case, proceed to Sd6 step from Sd4, the process proceeds to the normal Sd10 steps to implement a display comprising a base data updated based on the updated data has been updated in step Sd1.

  In step Sd10, the type set in the setting information table is referenced to determine whether the type is type a, b, c, h, and the determination result is type a, b, c, h. If not, the updating process 2 is terminated and the monitoring state of Sd0 is returned.

  On the other hand, if the determination result is type a, b, c, h, the process proceeds to step Sd11, and a hitting ball number counter provided in the RAM 275 (the game state is a big hit state, a sudden hit state or a small hit state) It is determined whether or not a counting flag indicating that counting is being performed is set, and if the counting flag is set, from the value of the driving ball counter, If the change detected in Sd0 is an input of the out ball count signal, the number of shot balls is subtracted and updated (Sd12), and the process proceeds to step Sd13. If the count flag is not set, the update process 2 is terminated and Sd0 Return to monitoring state.

  In step Sd13, it is determined whether or not the value of the driving ball counter is zero. As will be described later, the shot ball counter stores the threshold shot ball number when the output of the hit common signal is detected (changed from LOW to HIGH). Since the number of shots will be subtracted accordingly, the value of the shot ball counter will be the time when the number of shots from when the output of the hit common signal has reached the threshold shot number Therefore, in step Sd13, it is determined whether or not the number of hit balls from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected has reached the threshold shot number. If the value of the shot ball counter is 0 in step Sd13, the counting flag is cleared and the counting of shot balls is finished (Sd14), and the process proceeds to step Sd15. If the value is not 0, the update process 2 is terminated and the monitoring state of Sd0 is restored.

  In step Sd15, the latest gaming state data in the gaming information table is read, and it is determined whether or not the value of the terminal 1 is 1, that is, whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring. If the value of the terminal 1 is 1, the process proceeds to step Sd16. If the value of the terminal 1 is not 1, the process proceeds to the accuracy / small hit identification process of Sd17.

  In the step of Sd16, the current gaming state is identified as a big hit state, 1 is added to the big hit number in the gaming information table and updated, and the big hit state is stored as the gaming state of the latest state data in the history table, Further, a notification form corresponding to the jackpot state is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled to the specified jackpot notification form, The player and the staff are informed that the state has occurred, the update process 2 is terminated, and the monitoring state of Sd0 is returned. In other words, the sudden hit / small hit notification started at Se3 +, which will be described later, is changed to the big hit notification at the time when it is identified as the big hit.

  In the step of Sd17, the above-described sudden / small hit identification process consisting of Sq1 to Sq10 shown in FIG. 31 (a) is performed, and the hit common signal other than the big hit state in which the value of the terminal 1 is 1. Identify whether the state is a small hit, a bump hit A, or a bump hit B, and identify the small hit, bump hit A, bump hit B according to the previous state that is not registered in the history table. The data is stored as a game state, and “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve (Sd18), the update process 2 is terminated, and the monitor returns to the Sd0 monitoring state.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the game state change process 2 executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in the step Sd3 of the update process 2 constituting the data update process of the second mode. The gaming state changing process 2 will be described based on the above.

  In this game state change process 2, it is determined whether the type of the corresponding pachinko machine is type a, b, c, h by referring to the type in the setting information table (Se1), and the type is type a, If it is b, c, h, the value of terminal 1 of the latest (current) gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the previous value of terminal 1, and the value of terminal 1 has changed from 0 to 1 Whether or not the gaming state has shifted to the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state (Se2).

  When the value of terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) gaming state data changes from 0 to 1 in the step of Se2, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, and new state-specific data is registered. In the game state item, the game time is not stored, but the current time is stored as an occurrence time, and the total start number, the total number of shot balls, and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are obtained. Is stored as the total number of starts, the total number of balls to be thrown, and the total number of winning balls (Se3), and further, a notification form corresponding to the sudden hit / small hit state is based on the display form setting table shown in FIG. Then, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the notification format of the specified hit / small hit state (Se3 +).

  Next, a threshold driving ball number set in the setting information table is set in the driving ball number counter provided in the RAM 275 (Se4), and a counting flag indicating that the driving ball counter is counting Is set to start counting by the hitting ball number counter (Se5), and the game state changing process 2 is ended.

  If the value of terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) gaming state data does not change from 0 to 1 in the step of Se2, whether or not the value of terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has changed from 1 to 0. That is, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state (Se6).

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest game state data stored in the game information table changes from 1 to 0, the process proceeds to the steps from Se6 to Se7, and the game state of the latest data by state in the history table, that is, the change By determining whether or not the previous gaming state is unregistered, the end of the big hit state and the end of the sudden hit state or the small hit state are identified, and when the gaming state before the change is unregistered Identifies that the completed hit state is an abrupt hit state or a small hit state, and proceeds to Se8, as shown in FIG. 45 (b), a countdown displaying 30 which is the countdown start count of the setting information table. After the display screen is displayed and the countdown display is started, the process proceeds to step Se9. On the other hand, if the game state before the change is already registered, the process proceeds to S9 without going through Se8. Proceed to the ninth step.

  In step Se9, the gaming state identification table of the corresponding pachinko machine type set in the setting information table is referred to, and the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state. To do.

  Next, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the gaming state identified in the Se9 step and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the gaming state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification mode corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Se9 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display mode 261 display and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification mode. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Se9 has occurred (Se10), and the gaming state changing process 2 is terminated.

  If the value of the terminal 1 does not change from 1 to 0 in the step of Se6, the latest gaming state is referred to by referring to the gaming state identification table corresponding to the pachinko machine type set in the setting information table. The gaming state corresponding to the data is identified as the changed gaming state (Se11).

  Next, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the gaming state identified in the Se11 step and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the gaming state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification mode corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Se11 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display mode 261 display and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification mode. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Se11 has occurred (Se12), and the gaming state changing process 2 is ended.

  If the type of the pachinko machine is not type a, b, c, h, that is, if the type is d to g, i, the process proceeds from Se1 to Se13, and the individual signal type shown in FIG. By carrying out the processing, each gaming state in the pachinko machines 2d to g, i of the types d to g and i and the pachinko machines 2'd to g and 2'i is identified, and the gaming information and history in the gaming information table are identified. The table is updated. Since the individual signal type process of Se13 is the same as each step of the individual signal type process of Sc13 shown in FIG. 30, description thereof is omitted here.

  As described above, in the update process 2 and the game state change process 2 constituting the data update process of the second aspect, even in the period of the type a, b, c, h pachinko machine, that is, the big hit state, In the case of a pachinko machine that outputs a common hit common signal to the terminal 1 both during the state period and during the small hit state period, the hit common signal changed from LOW to HIGH as shown in FIG. The number of balls hit from the time (ta1), that is, the number of balls hit from the time when the output of the common signal indicating the period of occurrence of the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is detected, is game information. When it is determined whether or not the output of the hit common signal is continuously detected at the time of reaching the threshold driving number of balls set in the table (ta3), and the output of the hit common signal is detected If the output of the hit common signal is detected when the number of hit balls from the ball reaches the threshold shot number (ta3), the hit common signal that triggered the counting of the hit balls When the hit state indicated by is identified as a big hit state, and the output of the hit common signal is not detected when the number of hit balls from the point when the hit common signal output is detected reaches the threshold hit ball number Identifies the hit state indicated by the hit common signal that triggers the counting of the number of shot balls as the abrupt hit state or the small hit state. By the hit identification process, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is further classified into a sudden hit state and a small hit state according to the change in the gaming state before and after the hit state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state. become In other words, types a, b, c, and so on that a common hit common signal is output in a period in which a big hit state occurs, a period in which a sudden hit state occurs, and a period in which a small hit state occurs. Even when the game information of the pachinko machines 2a to c, h and the pachinko machines 2'a to c, 2'h of h is managed, the occurrence of a big hit state and the occurrence of a sudden hit state based on the input of this hit common signal And the occurrence of the small hit state can be individually identified.

  In addition, in the update process 2 and the game state change process 2 constituting the data update process of the second mode, types d, e, and f that can distinguish the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state by the signal output form. , G, i pachinko machines, the individual signal type processing of Se13 is performed, so that each gaming state including the big hit state is identified, and the gaming information in the gaming information table is updated. The game information between each gaming state is stored and managed in the history table, and further, whether the identified sudden hit state and small hit state are the small hit state, the sudden hit A, or the sudden hit B Whether the game state after the change is the normal game state (corresponding to the normal transition type) or not before and after the hit state. Game of play Since the game information in the game information table is updated and stored in the history table together with the game information in the meantime, the type d, e, f is identified by the state change and the output form of the output signal in the hit state. , G, i of pachinko machines 2d-g, 2i and game information of pachinko machines 2'd-g, 2'i can also be managed.

  Next, the third aspect of the data update process will be described. The data update process of the third aspect is performed by the update process 3 and the game state change process 3 executed when the game state data indicates a change in the game state. Composed.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of update processing 3 constituting the data update processing of the third mode.

  In the update process 3, first, it is monitored whether or not the input state of the terminals 1 to 12 of the signal input unit 278 has changed (Sf0).

  When the input state of the terminals 1 to 12 changes, the process proceeds to step Sf1, and the game state data stored in the latest (current) game state data in the game information table is transferred to the previous game state data. , The game state data included in the transmission data string is stored in the latest game state data, and if the change is an input of a start signal, the total number of starts and the number of hits in the game information table and the latest state of the history table Add and update the total start count and start count of the game state in different data, and if the change is input of a prize ball signal, the game state in the total data of the game information table and the latest status data in the history table The total number of winning balls, the number of winning balls, and the difference ball are updated. Number of balls and to update the latest total fastening tool piece count of the game state in the state-specific data and the implanted piece count and Sadama the history table (Sf1).

  Next, the previous gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the latest (current) gaming state data, and whether the gaming state data has changed, that is, the corresponding pachinko machine that is the input state of the terminals 1 to 9 It is determined whether or not the game state has changed (Sf2), and if the game state data has not changed, the countdown display state started in the game state change process described later (possibility of FIG. 45 (c)) (Including display state) (Sf7), and it is determined whether the number of hits after hitting reaches a preset countdown display end number, for example, 60 (Sf8).

  When not in the countdown display state and when the countdown display end count has been reached, the process proceeds to step Sf6, and the normal display including the base data updated based on the updated data updated in the step Sf1 (FIG. 45 (a)), the process proceeds to step Sf10.

  On the other hand, when the countdown display state is reached and the countdown display end count has not been reached, the countdown display screen (see FIGS. 45B and 45C) is updated according to the updated start count. After performing the countdown display screen update process shown in FIG. 31B, the process proceeds to step Sf10. Note that the countdown display screen update process is the same as the countdown display screen update process of Sb9 in update process 1, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

  On the other hand, if the game state data has changed in the step of Sf2, the state-specific data in the history table is determined as the state-specific data before the change with the change of the game state, and the state-specific data after the change is newly After registering and executing the game state change process 3 for notifying the changed game state (Sf3), the new game state after the change is a hit state (a big hit state or a sudden hit state or a small hit state) It is determined whether or not.

  If it is a win state, the process proceeds from step Sf4 to step Sf5, and the number of times corresponding to the non-addition hit in which “1” is stored as flag data in the addition reservation in the history table, If the non-added hit is a rush hit A, add 1 to the rush A count, and if the non-added hit is a rush hit B, add 1 to the rush B count and update. If there is one, the number of small hits is added and updated, and then the process proceeds to step Sf6. As shown in FIG. 46, the updated number of times is emphasized by performing display inversion and non-execution. In the case where the winning hit is a hitting hit A, and 1 is added to the number of hitting accuracy A, the number of hitting accuracy A is emphasized and displayed by execution / non-execution of display inversion, and then the process proceeds to step Sf10. It ’s in a hit state Case, proceed to Sf6 step from Sf4, the process proceeds to the normal Sf10 steps to implement a display comprising a base data updated based on the updated data has been updated in step Sf1.

  In step Sf10, the type set in the setting information table is referenced to determine whether the type is type a, b, c, h, and the determination result is type a, b, c, h. If not, the update process 3 is terminated and the monitoring state of Sf0 is returned.

  On the other hand, if the determination result is type a, b, c, h, the process proceeds to step Sf11, and the hitting ball counter provided in the RAM 275 (the game state is a big hit state, a sudden hit state or a small hit state) It is determined whether or not a counting flag indicating that counting is being performed is set, and if the counting flag is set, from the value of the driving ball counter, If the change detected in Sf0 is an input of an out ball count signal, the number of shot balls is subtracted and updated (Sf12), and the process proceeds to step Sf13. If the count flag is not set, the update process 3 is terminated and Sf0 Return to monitoring state.

  In step Sf13, it is determined whether or not the value of the shot ball counter is zero. As will be described later, the shot ball counter stores the threshold shot ball number when the output of the hit common signal is detected (changed from LOW to HIGH). Since the number of shots will be subtracted accordingly, the value of the shot ball counter will be the time when the number of shots from when the output of the hit common signal has reached the threshold shot number Therefore, in step Sf13, it is determined whether or not the number of hit balls from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected has reached the threshold shot number. If the value of the shot ball counter is 0 at the step Sf13, the counting flag is cleared and the counting of the shot balls is finished (Sf14), and the process proceeds to the step Sf15. If the value is not 0, the update process 3 is terminated and the monitoring state of Sf0 is returned.

  In step Sf15, the latest gaming state data in the gaming information table is read, and it is determined whether or not the value of the terminal 1 is 1, that is, whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring. If the value of the terminal 1 is 1, the process proceeds to step Sf16. If the value of the terminal 1 is not 1, the update process 3 is terminated and the process returns to the monitoring state of Sf0.

  In the step of Sf16, the current gaming state is identified as a big hit state, 1 is added to the big hit number in the gaming information table and updated, and the big hit state is stored as the gaming state of the latest state-specific data in the history table, Further, a notification form corresponding to the jackpot state is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled to the specified jackpot notification form, The player and the staff are notified that the state has occurred, the update process 3 is terminated, and the monitoring state returns to Sf0. In other words, the sudden hit / small hit notification started at Sg3 +, which will be described later, is changed to the big hit notification at the time when it is identified as the big hit.

  FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the game state change process 3 executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in step Sf3 of the update process 3 constituting the data update process of the third mode. The gaming state changing process 3 will be described based on the above.

  In this game state change process 3, it is determined whether the type of the corresponding pachinko machine is type a, b, c, h by referring to the type in the setting information table (Sg1), and the type is type a, If it is b, c, h, the value of terminal 1 of the latest (current) gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the previous value of terminal 1, and the value of terminal 1 has changed from 0 to 1 Whether or not the gaming state has shifted to the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state (Sg2).

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) gaming state data changes from 0 to 1 in the step of Sg2, the latest state-specific data in the history table is determined, and new state-specific data is registered. In the game state item, the game time is not stored, but the current time is stored as an occurrence time, and the total start number, the total number of shot balls, and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are obtained. Is stored as the total number of start times, the total number of balls to be hit, and the total number of winning balls (Sg3), and further, a notification form corresponding to the sudden hit / small hit state is based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. Then, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the notification mode of the specified hit / small hit state (Sg3 +).

  Next, a threshold driving ball number set in the setting information table is set in the driving ball number counter set in the RAM 275 (Sg4), and a counting flag indicating that the driving ball counter is counting Is set to start counting by the hitting ball number counter (Sg5), and the game state changing process 3 is ended.

  If the value of terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) gaming state data has not changed from 0 to 1 in the step of Sg2, whether or not the value of terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has changed from 1 to 0. That is, it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state (Sg6).

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest game state data stored in the game information table changes from 1 to 0, the process proceeds to the steps from Sg6 to Sg7, that is, whether or not the counting flag is set, that is, the shot ball It is determined whether or not counting of the number of balls to be hit has continued from the time when the output of the hit common signal counted by the number counter is detected, and if the counting flag is set, the counting flag is cleared and hit. The counting of the number of balls is finished (Sg8), the process proceeds to Sg9, and as shown in FIG. 45 (b), the countdown display screen displaying the countdown start number 30 in the setting information table is displayed and the countdown display is displayed. After the start, an accuracy / small hit identification process for identifying the game state before the change is performed (Sg10).

  In the step of Sg10, the above-described suddenness / small hit discrimination process consisting of Sq1 to Sq10 shown in FIG. 31A is performed, and the termination is completed when the value of the terminal 1 which is a hit common signal changes from 1 to 0. After recognizing whether the hit state other than the recognized big hit state is a small hit, a sudden hit A or a sudden hit B, it is determined as the game state of the latest data according to the state in the history table. The winning A, the winning hit B, and the small hit are stored, and “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve (Sg11), and the process proceeds to the step Sg12.

  In step Sg12, the gaming state identification table of the corresponding pachinko machine type set in the setting information table is referenced, and the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state. To do.

  Next, the latest data for each state in the history table is confirmed, new data for each state is registered, and the gaming state identified in the step of Sg12 and the current time are stored in the gaming state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sg12 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display mode 261 display and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification mode. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sg12 has occurred (Sg13), and the gaming state changing process 3 is terminated.

  If the value of the terminal 1 does not change from 1 to 0 in the step of Sg6, or if the count flag is not set in the step of Sg7, the type of the pachinko machine set in the setting information table is set. With reference to the corresponding gaming state identification table, the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state (Sg14).

  Then, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the game state identified in the step of Sg14 and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the game state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sg14 is specified based on the display form setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display form of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification form. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sg14 has occurred (Sg15), and the gaming state changing process 3 is terminated.

  If the type of the pachinko machine is not type a, b, c, h, that is, if the type is d to g, i, the process proceeds from Sg1 to Sg16, and the individual signal type shown in FIG. By executing the processing, each pachinko machine 2d-g, i of type d to g, i and each game state in pachinko machine 2'd-g, 2'i are identified, and the game information in the game information table and The history table is updated. The individual signal type process of Sg16 is the same as each step of the individual signal type process of Sc13 shown in FIG.

  As described above, in the update process 3 and the game state change process 3 that constitute the data update process of the third aspect, even in the period of the type a, b, c, h pachinko machine, that is, the big hit state, In the case of a pachinko machine that outputs a common hit common signal to the terminal 1 both during the state period and during the small hit state period, the hit common signal changed from LOW to HIGH as shown in FIG. The number of balls hit from the time (ta1), that is, the number of balls hit from the time when the output of the common signal indicating the period of occurrence of the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is detected, is game information. When it is determined whether or not the output of the hit common signal is continuously detected at the time of reaching the threshold driving number of balls set in the table (ta3), and the output of the hit common signal is detected If the output of the hit common signal is detected when the number of hit balls from the ball reaches the threshold shot number, the hit indicated by the hit common signal that triggered the counting of the shot balls When the hit common signal changes from HIGH to LOW (ta2), that is, when the hit common signal is not detected, the hit common signal changes from LOW to HIGH (ta1). Determines whether the number of shots from the ball, that is, the number of shots from the time when the output of the hit common signal has reached the threshold shot number (whether the count flag is set) When the hit common signal is not detected, and the number of shots from the point at which the output of the hit common signal is detected does not reach the threshold shot number (the count flag is set). If) The hit state indicated by the hit common signal that triggers the counting is identified as a sudden hit state or a small hit state. Depending on the change in the gaming state before and after the state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is further distinguished into a sudden hit state and a small hit state. Type a, b, c, and h pachinko machines that output a common hit common signal even during a period where a sudden hit state occurs even during a period where a hit state occurs 2a-c, h and pachinko machines 2'a-c, 2'h, even when managing game information, the occurrence of a big hit state based on this hit common signal input, It is possible to individually identify the occurrence of the hit state and the occurrence of the small hit state.

  In addition, in the update process 3 and the gaming state change process 3 constituting the data update process of the third aspect, types d, e, and f that can distinguish the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state by the output form of the signal. , G, i pachinko machines, the individual signal type processing of Sg16 is performed, so that each gaming state including the big hit state is identified, and the gaming information in the gaming information table is updated. The game information between each gaming state is stored and managed in the history table, and further, whether the identified sudden hit state and small hit state are the small hit state, the sudden hit A, or the sudden hit B Is determined by the change in the gaming state before and after the hit state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state in the Sr6 sudden / small hit identification process, Since the game information is updated and stored in the history table together with the game information in between, the pachinko machines 2d to g and 2i of these types d, e, f, g and i, and the pachinko machines 2'd to g, 2'i game information can also be managed.

  In the data update processing of the first to third aspects described above, the number of hit balls is applied as the number of variable game media. The number of variable game media is a prize ball that is output from a pachinko machine in a winning state. The number of game media that varies based on the number and / or the number of balls to be hit may be used, and the number of prize balls or the difference ball (the number of prize balls-the number of balls to be hit) is applied as the number of game media to be varied. If the number of prize balls is applied as the number of variable game media, the prediction of the number of prize balls in the big hit state is larger than the predicted value of the number of prize balls in the sudden hit state and the small hit state. If the difference ball is applied as the number of variable game media, a value smaller than the value may be set as the threshold prize ball number, and larger than the predicted value of the difference ball in the sudden hit state and the small hit state, A value smaller than the predicted value of the difference ball in the state is the threshold difference ball It may be set Te. Further, the calculated difference ball may be used as the number of variable game media (the number of hit balls-the number of prize balls). When using the calculated difference ball as the number of variable game media, In this case, in the data update processing of the first to third aspects described above, whether the big hit state or the small hit state is identified based on the absolute value of the difference ball and the magnitude of the threshold difference ball. Just do it.

  In addition, when the difference ball is set as (the number of hit balls-the number of prize balls) and the determination is made without using the absolute value, the number of hit balls is negative, and the threshold difference ball is also set to a negative value. Therefore, a value (for example, -100 balls) that is smaller than the predicted value of the difference ball during the small hit (for example, -10 balls) and larger than the predicted value of the difference ball during the big hit (for example, -2000 balls) as the threshold value. If the set and counted difference ball is smaller than the threshold difference ball, it will be identified as a big hit, and if it is larger, it will be identified as a small hit. In this case as well, pay attention only to the numerical value (absolute value) excluding the minus. For example, a value (100 balls) that is larger than the predicted value (10 balls) of the difference ball during the small hit and smaller than the predicted value (2000 balls) of the difference ball during the big hit is set, and the counted difference ball is the threshold value. If it is larger than the difference ball, it is identified as big hit, and if it is smaller, it is identified as small hit It will be.

  Next, a fourth aspect of the data update process will be described. The data update process of the fourth aspect includes an update process 4, a game state change process 4 that is executed when the game state data indicates a change in the game state, and It is comprised by the time measuring process 1 performed every fixed time interval (for example, every 100 ms).

  The update process 4 is the same as the update process 1 shown in FIG. 29, that is, the update process 1 that constitutes the data update process of the first mode, and therefore the description is omitted here by using the same steps. . In the data update process of the fourth aspect, not the number of shot balls from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected until it becomes non-detected, but from the time of detecting the output of the hit common signal until it becomes non-detected In order to identify whether the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is a big hit state, a sudden hit state or a small hit state based on the time of the Instead of the threshold hitting ball number that is larger than the predicted value of the number of balls and smaller than the predicted value of the number of shots in the big hit state, it is larger than the predicted value of the occurrence time of the single hit state and the small hit state. It is assumed that the threshold time is set longer and shorter than the predicted value of the occurrence time of one big hit state, and the threshold time set on the call lamp setting screen is set in the setting information table.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the gaming state change process 4 executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in the step Sb3 of the update process 4 constituting the data update process of the fourth mode. The gaming state changing process 4 will be described based on the above.

  In the game state change process 4, the type in the setting information table is referenced to determine whether the corresponding pachinko machine type is type a, b, c, h (Sh1), and the type is type a, b. , C, h, whether the value of terminal 1 of the latest (current) gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the previous value of terminal 1, and whether the value of terminal 1 has changed from 0 to 1 In other words, it is determined whether or not the gaming state has shifted to the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state (Sh2).

  When the value of terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) game state data changes from 0 to 1, the process proceeds to steps Sh2 to Sh3 to determine the latest state-specific data in the history table and newly state-specific data. In the game status item, the game time is not stored, the current time is stored as the time of occurrence, and the total number of starts, the total number of shots and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired. The total number of starts at the time of occurrence of the gaming state, the total number of balls to be thrown in, and the total number of winning balls are stored (Sh3), and the notification mode corresponding to the big hit state is based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. Then, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the notification format of the specified big hit state (Sh3 +).

  Next, the timer counter value set in the RAM 275 is initialized (0 is stored in the timer counter value) (Sh4), and a timer flag is set to indicate that the timer counter is measuring the time. Start (Sh5) and finish the gaming state change process 4.

  If the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has not changed from 0 to 1, the process proceeds to the step from Sh2 to Sh6, and whether or not the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has changed from 1 to 0, That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state has ended.

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the game state data changes from 1 to 0 in the step of Sh6, the timer counter is cleared and the timer counter finishes timing (Sh7), and the timer counter value and setting information table To determine whether or not the elapsed time from the time when the output of the hit common signal that triggered the timing by the timer counter exceeds the threshold time. Sh8).

  If the elapsed time from the time when the output of the hit common signal that triggered the start of timing by the timer counter in the step of Sh8 exceeds the threshold time, the gaming state before the change is set to the big hit state. After identifying and adding 1 to the number of jackpots in the gaming information table (Sh9), the identified jackpot state is stored as the gaming state of the latest data by state in the history table (Sh9 +), and the step of Sh12 is performed. move on.

  Further, when the elapsed time from the time when the output of the hit common signal that triggered the start of timing by the timer counter in the step of Sh8 does not exceed the threshold time, the process proceeds to the step of Sh10. As shown in FIG. 45 (b), a countdown display screen displaying 30 which is the countdown start count in the setting information table is displayed to start the countdown display, and the game state before the change is a sudden hit state or a small hit state. After performing the accuracy / small hit identification process for identifying which is the game state of the latest data according to the state in the history table, the identified hit status (Abrupt hit A, sudden hit B, small hit) In addition to storing, “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve (Sh11 +), and the process proceeds to step Sh12.

  In step Sh12, the gaming state identification table of the corresponding pachinko machine type set in the setting information table is referred to, and the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state. After confirming the latest state-specific data in the history table and newly registering the state-specific data, the gaming state identified in the step of Sh12 in the item of gaming state and the current time as the occurrence time, Store the total number of starts, total number of balls in the game information table, the total number of winning balls, and store it as the total number of starts, the total number of balls to be hit, and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, Furthermore, the notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sh12 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the specified notification is performed. The state of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled to notify the player and the staff that the gaming state identified in the step of Sh12 has occurred (Sh13). finish.

  If the value of the terminal 1 does not change from 1 to 0 in the step of Sh6, the latest gaming state is referred to by referring to the gaming state identification table corresponding to the pachinko machine type set in the setting information table. The gaming state corresponding to the data is identified as the changed gaming state (Sh14).

  Next, the latest data for each state in the history table is confirmed, new data for each state is registered, and the gaming state identified in the step of Sh14 is stored in the gaming state item, and the current time is stored as the occurrence time. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sh14 is specified based on the display form setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display form of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification form. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sh14 has occurred (Sh15), and the gaming state changing process 4 is terminated.

  Further, when the type of the pachinko machine is not type a, b, c, h, that is, when the type is d to g, i, the process proceeds from Sh1 to Sh16, and the individual signal type shown in FIG. By executing the processing, each pachinko machine 2d to g, i of type d to g, i and each gaming state in each pachinko machine 2'd to g, 2'i are identified, and the game information in the game information table In addition, the history table is updated. The individual signal type process of Sh16 is the same as each step of the individual signal type process of Sc13 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the time measurement processing 1 constituting the data update processing of the fourth mode, which is executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279. Note that the time measurement process 1 is a process executed at regular time intervals (for example, every 100 ms) as described above.

  In the time measuring process 1, first, it is determined whether or not the time counting flag is set in the RAM 275, that is, whether or not the time counting from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected by the timer counter is performed (Si1). Is set, the timer counter value is incremented by 1 (Si2), and the time measuring process 1 is terminated. That is, as described above, the time measurement process 1 is executed at regular time intervals. Therefore, when the time measurement flag is set, the value of the timer counter is updated by this process, and the time when the time measurement flag is set, The elapsed time from the time when the output of the common signal is detected is measured.

  As described above, in the update process 4, the game state change process 4, and the timekeeping process 1 that constitute the data update process of the fourth aspect, the pachinko machines of type a, b, c, h, that is, during the period of the big hit state In the case of a pachinko machine in which a common hit common signal is output to the terminal 1 during both the sudden hit state and the small hit state, as shown in FIG. 44, the hit common signal is changed from LOW. The elapsed time from the time (tb1) when the signal changes to HIGH to the time (tb2 or tb4) when the hit common signal changes from HIGH to LOW, that is, the period during which the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state occurs It is determined whether the time until the hit common signal output is detected or not detected exceeds the threshold time set in the game information table. If the time from when the output is detected until it is not detected exceeds the threshold time, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is identified as the big hit state, and the non-detection is detected after the output of the hit common signal is detected. If the time until the threshold value does not exceed the threshold time, it is identified as a sudden hit state or a small hit state, and the hit / small hit state is determined by the above-described Sh11 sudden / small hit discrimination process. Depending on the change in the gaming state before and after the state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is further distinguished into a sudden hit state and a small hit state. The common hit common signal is output even in the period where the sudden hit state occurs even in the period where the hit state occurs and in the period where the small hit state occurs Even when managing game information of pachinko machines 2a to c, h and pachinko machines 2'a to c, 2'h of type a, b, c, and h, occurrence of a big hit state based on the input of this hit common signal Thus, it is possible to individually identify the occurrence of the sudden hit state and the occurrence of the small hit state.

  In addition, in the update process 4 and the game state change process 4 constituting the data update process of the fourth aspect, types d, e, and f that can distinguish the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state by the signal output form. In the case of pachinko machines of, g, i, by executing the processing of Sh16, each gaming state including the big hit state is identified, and the gaming information in the gaming information table is updated, and each of these identified Whether the game information during the gaming state is stored and managed in the history table, and whether the identified abrupt hit state and small hit state is a small hit state, a sudden hit A, or a sudden hit B In the Sr6 accuracy / small hit identification process, whether or not the changed gaming state is the normal gaming state (corresponding to the normal transition type), the change of the gaming state before and after the winning state, and the hit state Oke Since the game information in the game information table is updated and stored in the history table together with the game information in the meantime, the pachinko machines of these types d, e, f, g, and i are identified. The game information of 2d-g, 2i and pachinko machines 2'd-g, 2'i can also be managed.

  In the above, when the hit common signal output is detected, the timer counter starts counting, and when the hit common signal is not detected, the timer counter stops counting, and the hit common signal output is It is determined whether or not the elapsed time from the detected time to the non-detected time exceeds the threshold time. If the threshold time is exceeded, the gaming state before the change is identified as the big hit state, and the threshold time is set. If it does not exceed, the game state before the change is identified as a sudden hit state and a small hit state, but when the hit common signal output is detected, the timer counter starts counting and the timing flag If the time counted by the timer counter reaches the threshold time before the hit common signal is not detected, the time counting flag is cleared at that time. By determining whether or not the timekeeping flag is set when the hit common signal is not detected, that is, whether or not the timer counter continues counting when the hit common signal is not detected, Whether or not the elapsed time from when the output of the hit common signal is detected until it becomes non-detected exceeds the threshold time (if the timekeeping flag is set, it indicates that the threshold time has not been exceeded, If the timekeeping flag is not set, it will indicate that the threshold time has been exceeded), and if it exceeds the threshold time, the gaming state before the change is identified as a jackpot state, If the threshold time has not been exceeded, the gaming state before the change may be identified as a sudden hit state and a small hit state.

  Next, a fifth aspect of the data update process will be described. The data update process of the fifth aspect includes an update process 5, a game state change process 5 executed when the game state data indicates a change in the game state, and It is comprised by the time measuring process 2 performed every fixed time interval (for example, every 100 ms).

  The update process 5 is also the same as the update process 1 shown in FIG. 29, that is, the update process 1 that constitutes the data update process of the first mode. . Further, in the data update process of the fifth aspect, the hit common signal indicates based on the time from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected, not the number of driving balls from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected. In order to identify whether the hit state is a big hit state, or a sudden hit state and a small hit state, as in the case of applying the data update process of the fourth mode, Instead of the threshold hitting ball number that is larger than the predicted value of the hit ball number in the small hit state and smaller than the predicted value of the hit ball number in the big hit state, the single hit hit state and the small hit state A threshold time that is longer than the predicted value of the occurrence time and shorter than the predicted value of the occurrence time of one big hit state is set, and the threshold time set on the call lamp setting screen is set in the setting information table To.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the gaming state change process 5 executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in the step Sb3 of the update process 5 constituting the data update process of the fifth mode. The gaming state changing process 5 will be described based on the above.

  In the gaming state change process 5, it is determined whether or not the corresponding pachinko machine type is type a, b, c, h by referring to the type in the setting information table (Sj1), and the type is type a, b. , C, h, whether the value of terminal 1 of the latest (current) gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the previous value of terminal 1, and whether the value of terminal 1 has changed from 0 to 1 In other words, it is determined whether or not the gaming state has shifted to a big hit state, a sudden hit state, or a small hit state (Sj2).

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) game state data changes from 0 to 1, the process proceeds to the steps from Sj2 to Sj3, the latest state-specific data in the history table is determined, and the new state-specific data In the game status item, the game time is not stored, the current time is stored as the time of occurrence, and the total number of starts, the total number of shots and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired. The total number of starts at the time of occurrence of the gaming state, the total number of thrown balls, the total number of winning balls is stored (Sj3), and the notification mode corresponding to the sudden hit / small hit state is set as the display mode shown in FIG. Based on the table, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled to the notification format of the specified sudden hit / small hit state (Sj3 +).

  Next, a value corresponding to the threshold time set in the setting information table is subtracted from the timer counter set in the RAM 275 (the value of the timer counter is subtracted by 1 in the time measuring process 2 described later, so that the threshold time / time measuring process 2 (For example, if the threshold time is 5 seconds and the execution time interval of the time measuring process 2 is 100 ms, the value stored in the timer counter is 50) (Sj4 ), A timer flag indicating that the timer counter is timing is set, and the timer counter starts timing (Sj5), and the gaming state change processing 5 is terminated.

  Further, if the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has not changed from 0 to 1, the process proceeds to step Sj2 to Sj6, and whether or not the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has changed from 1 to 0, That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state has ended.

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the game state data changes from 1 to 0 in step Sj6, the process proceeds to step Sj7, and the game state of the latest data by state in the history table, that is, the game state before change is not registered. The end of the big hit state and the end of the sudden hit state or the small hit state are identified, and if the game state before the change is unregistered, the end hit state is Identifying that it is in a collision or small hit state, proceed to Sj8, and as shown in FIG. 45 (b), display a countdown display screen displaying 30 which is the countdown start count in the setting information table and count down After starting the display, the process proceeds to step Sj9. On the other hand, if the game state before the change is already registered, the process proceeds to step Sj9 without going through Sj8.

  In step Sj9, the gaming state identification table of the corresponding pachinko machine type set in the setting information table is referred to, and the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state. To do.

  Next, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the game state identified in step Sj9 and the current time are stored in the game state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in step Sj9 is specified based on the display form setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display form of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification form. , The player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in step Sj9 has occurred (Sj10), and the gaming state changing process 5 is terminated.

  If the value of the terminal 1 does not change from 1 to 0 in step Sj6, the latest gaming state is referred to by referring to the gaming state identification table corresponding to the pachinko machine type set in the setting information table. The gaming state corresponding to the data is identified as the changed gaming state (Sj11).

  Next, the latest data for each state in the history table is confirmed, new data for each state is registered, and the gaming state identified in the step Sj11 and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the item of gaming state, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in the step of Sj11 is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display mode 261 display and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification mode. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in the step of Sj11 has occurred (Sj12), and the gaming state changing process 5 is terminated.

  If the type of the pachinko machine is not type a, b, c, h, that is, if the type is d to g, i, the process proceeds from Sj1 to Sj13, and the individual signal type shown in FIG. By executing the processing, each pachinko machine 2d-g, i of type d to g, i and each game state in pachinko machine 2'd-g, 2'i are identified, and the game information in the game information table and The history table is updated. The individual signal type process of Sj13 is the same as each step of the individual signal type process of Sc13 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the time measuring process 2 constituting the data updating process of the fifth aspect, which is executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279. Note that the time measurement process 2 is a process executed at regular time intervals (for example, every 100 ms) as described above.

  In the time measuring process 2, first, it is determined whether or not the time counting flag is set in the RAM 275, that is, whether or not the time counting from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected by the timer counter is performed (Sk1). Is set, 1 is subtracted from the value of the timer counter (Sk2).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the timekeeping flag is set and the value of the timer counter is 0 (Sk3). If the timekeeping flag is set and the value of the timer counter is 0, the timekeeping flag is set. Is cleared and the timing is finished (Sk4).

  Then, the latest gaming state data in the gaming information table is read, and it is determined whether or not the value of the terminal 1 is 1, that is, whether the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is occurring (Sk5). If the value of the terminal 1 is 1, the process proceeds to the step of Sk6, and if the value of the terminal 1 is not 1, the process proceeds to the accuracy / small hit discrimination process of Sk7.

  In the step of Sk6, the current gaming state is identified as a big hit state, 1 is added to the number of big hits in the gaming information table and updated, and the big hit state is stored as the gaming state of the latest state-specific data in the history table, Further, a notification form corresponding to the jackpot state is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled to the specified jackpot notification form, The player and the staff are notified that the condition has occurred, and the process returns to the step of Sk3.

  In the Sk7 accuracy / small hit identification processing, the accuracy / small hit identification processing including Sq1 to Sq10 described above shown in FIG. Identify whether the hit state other than the big hit state is a small hit, a bump hit A, or a bump hit B, and the identified small hit, bump hit A, bump hit B by the previous state data in the history table Is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve (Sk8), and the process returns to the step Sk3.

  If the timekeeping flag is set in the step Sk3 and the value of the timer counter is not 0, the timekeeping process 2 is terminated.

  As described above, in the update process 5, the game state change process 5, and the timekeeping process 2 constituting the data update process of the fifth aspect, the pachinko machine of type a, b, c, h, that is, during the period of the big hit state In the case of a pachinko machine in which a common hit common signal is output to the terminal 1 during both the sudden hit state and the small hit state, as shown in FIG. 44, the hit common signal is changed from LOW. The elapsed time from the time of changing to HIGH (tb1), that is, the elapsed time from the time when the output of the hit common signal indicating the period of occurrence of the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is detected. When the threshold time set in the table is reached (tb3), it is determined whether the output of the hit common signal is continuously detected, and the output of the hit common signal is detected. If the output of the hit common signal is detected when the elapsed time from the point in time reaches the threshold time, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal that triggered the elapsed time measurement is the big hit state And when the elapsed time from the time when the hit common signal output is detected reaches the threshold time and the hit common signal output is not detected, it is identified as a sudden hit state or a small hit state. At the same time, these hitting hitting states or small hitting states are determined according to the above-described hitting / small hitting discrimination process of SK7, according to the change in the gaming state before and after the hitting state and the output form of the output signal in the hitting state. The hit state indicated by is further distinguished into a sudden hit state and a small hit state. Type a, b, c, h pachinko machines 2a-c, h and pachinko machines 2'a-c, 2 in which a common hit common signal is output even in a period in which a small hit state occurs. Even when the game information of 'h is managed, it is possible to individually identify the occurrence of the big hit state, the occurrence of the sudden hit state, and the occurrence of the small hit state based on the input of the hit common signal.

  In addition, in the update process 4 and the game state change process 5 constituting the data update process of the fifth aspect, types d, e, and f that can distinguish the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state by the output form of the signal. , G, i pachinko machines, the individual signal type processing of Sj13 is performed, so that each gaming state including the big hit state is identified, and the gaming information in the gaming information table is updated, and these identifications are made. The game information between each gaming state is stored and managed in the history table, and further, whether the identified sudden hit state and small hit state are the small hit state, the sudden hit A, or the sudden hit B Is determined by the change in the gaming state before and after the hit state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state in the Sr6 sudden / small hit identification process, Since the game information is updated and stored in the history table together with the game information in between, the pachinko machines 2d to g and 2i of these types d, e, f, g and i, and the pachinko machines 2'd to g, 2'i game information can also be managed.

  Next, a sixth aspect of the data update process will be described. The data update process of the sixth aspect includes an update process 6, a game state change process 6 executed when the game state data indicates a change in the game state, and The time measuring process 3 is executed at regular time intervals (for example, every 100 ms).

  Note that the update process 6 is also the same as the update process 1 shown in FIG. 29, that is, the update process 1 that constitutes the data update process of the first aspect, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted by using the same steps. . Further, in the data update processing of the sixth aspect, the hit common signal indicates based on the time from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected, not the number of driving balls from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected. In order to identify whether the hit state is a big hit state, or a sudden hit state or a small hit state, the call lamp setting is performed as in the case of applying the data update process of the fourth mode or the data update process of the fifth mode. In the screen, instead of the threshold hitting ball number which is larger than the predicted value of the hit ball number in the hit state and the small hit state, and smaller than the predicted value of the hit ball number in the big hit state, it is once. The threshold time that is longer than the predicted value of the occurrence time of the sudden hit state and the small hit state and shorter than the predicted value of the occurrence time of one big hit state is set, and the threshold time set in the calling lamp setting screen is Setting It shall be set to broadcasting table.

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the game state change process 6 executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279 in the step Sb3 of the update process 6 constituting the data update process of the sixth aspect. The gaming state changing process 6 will be described based on the above.

  In the game state change process 6, the type in the setting information table is referenced to determine whether the corresponding pachinko machine type is type a, b, c, h (Sm1), and the type is type a, b. , C, h, whether the value of terminal 1 of the latest (current) gaming state data in the gaming information table is compared with the previous value of terminal 1, and whether the value of terminal 1 has changed from 0 to 1 In other words, it is determined whether or not the gaming state has shifted to a big hit state, a sudden hit state, or a small hit state (Sm2).

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest (current) game state data changes from 0 to 1, the process proceeds from Sm2 to Sm3 to determine the latest state data in the history table and newly state data. In the game status item, the game time is not stored, the current time is stored as the time of occurrence, and the total number of starts, the total number of shots and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired. The total number of starts at the time of occurrence of the gaming state, the total number of thrown balls and the total number of winning balls are stored (Sm3), and the notification mode corresponding to the sudden hit / small hit state is displayed as shown in FIG. Based on the table, the display of the display screen 261 and the lighting mode of the notification lamp are controlled in the notification format of the specified sudden hit / small hit state (Sm3 +).

  Next, a value corresponding to the threshold time set in the setting information table is subtracted from the timer counter set in the RAM 275 (the value of the timer counter is subtracted by 1 in the time measuring process 3 to be described later, so that the threshold time / time measuring process 3 (For example, if the threshold time is 5 seconds and the execution time interval of the time measuring process 3 is 100 ms, the value stored in the timer counter is 50) (Sm4 ), A time-counting flag indicating that the timer counter is time-counting is set, and time-counting by the timer counter is started (Sm5), and the game state changing process 6 is ended.

  Further, if the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has not changed from 0 to 1, the process proceeds to Sm2 to Sm6, and whether or not the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the gaming state data has changed from 1 to 0, That is, it is determined whether or not the big hit state, the sudden hit state, or the small hit state has ended.

  When the value of the terminal 1 indicated by the latest game state data stored in the game information table changes from 1 to 0, the process proceeds to the steps from Sm6 to Sm7, whether or not the timing flag is set, that is, by the timer counter It is determined whether or not the elapsed time from when the output of the hit common signal is detected continues (Sm7), and if the timekeeping flag is set, the timekeeping flag is cleared. The elapsed time from the point in time when the output of the common signal is detected is terminated (Sm8), the process proceeds to Sm9, and 30 is displayed as the countdown start count of the setting information table as shown in FIG. 45 (b). After the countdown display screen is displayed and the countdown display is started, a sudden / small hit identification process for identifying the game state before the change is performed (Sm10)

  In the step of Sm10, the above-described sudden / small hit identification process including Sq1 to Sq10 shown in FIG. 31 (a) is performed, and the process ends when the value of the terminal 1 which is a hit common signal changes from 1 to 0. After recognizing whether the hit state other than the recognized big hit state is a small hit, a sudden hit A or a sudden hit B, it is determined as the game state of the latest data according to the state in the history table. The winning A, the winning hit B, and the small hit are stored, and “1” is stored (set) in the corresponding added reserve (Sm11), and the process proceeds to step Sm12.

  In step Sm12, the gaming state identification table of the corresponding pachinko machine type set in the setting information table is referred to, and the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state. To do.

  Next, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the gaming state identified in step Sm12 and the current time are stored in the gaming state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in step Sm12 is specified based on the display form setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display form of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification form. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in step Sm12 has occurred (Sm13), and the gaming state changing process 6 is terminated.

  If the value of terminal 1 does not change from 1 to 0 in step Sm6, or if the timekeeping flag is not set in step Sm7, the type of pachinko machine set in the setting information table is set. With reference to the corresponding gaming state identification table, the gaming state corresponding to the latest gaming state data is identified as the changed gaming state (Sm14).

  Then, the latest state-specific data in the history table is confirmed, new state-specific data is registered, and the game state identified in the step Sm14 and the current time as the occurrence time are stored in the game state item, respectively. The total number of starts, the total number of hit balls and the total number of winning balls in the game information table are acquired and stored as the total number of start times, the total number of shot balls and the total number of winning balls when the game state occurs, , The notification form corresponding to the gaming state identified in step Sm14 is specified based on the display form setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the display form of the display screen 261 and the lighting state of the notification lamp are controlled in the specified notification form. Then, the player and the staff are notified that the gaming state identified in step Sm14 has occurred (Sm15), and the gaming state changing process 6 is terminated.

  If the type of the pachinko machine is not type a, b, c, h, that is, if the type is d to g, i, the process proceeds from Sm1 to Sm16, and the individual signal type shown in FIG. By executing the processing, each pachinko machine 2d-g, i of type d to g, i and each game state in pachinko machine 2'd-g, 2'i are identified, and the game information in the game information table and The history table is updated. The individual signal type process of Sm16 is the same as each step of the individual signal type process of Sc13 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the time measuring process 3 constituting the data update process of the sixth aspect, which is executed by the control microcomputer (MPU) 279. Note that the time measurement process 3 is a process executed at regular time intervals (for example, every 100 ms) as described above.

  In the time measuring process 3, it is first determined whether or not the time counting flag is set in the RAM 275, that is, whether or not the time counting from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected by the timer counter is performed (Sn1). Is set, 1 is subtracted from the value of the timer counter (Sn2).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the timekeeping flag is set and the value of the timer counter is 0 (Sn3). If the timekeeping flag is set and the value of the timer counter is 0, the timekeeping flag is set. Is cleared and the timing is finished (Sn4).

  If the gaming state is a sudden hit state or a small hit state, the timer counter value becomes 0, that is, before the elapsed time from the time when the output of the common hit signal is detected reaches the threshold time. Since the sudden hit state or the small hit state ends, the output of the common hit signal is not detected, and the timekeeping flag should be cleared. Therefore, the timekeeping flag is set in the step of Sn3, and the value of the timer counter Is 0, the current gaming state is identified as a big hit state, 1 is added to the number of big hits in the game information table and updated, and the big hit state is stored as the gaming state of the latest state-specific data in the history table. Furthermore, the notification form corresponding to the jackpot state is specified based on the display mode setting table shown in FIG. 24, and the specified jackpot notification form is specified. Display and controls the lighting mode of indicator lamp 示画 surface 261, and informed to the player as well as attendant such that the big hit occurs, the flow returns to step Sn3.

  Further, if the timekeeping flag is set in the step of Sn3 and the value of the timer counter is not 0, the timekeeping processing 3 is terminated.

  As described above, in the update process 6, the game state change process 6, and the timekeeping process 3 constituting the data update process of the sixth aspect, during the period of the type a, b, c, h pachinko machine, that is, the big hit state In the case of a pachinko machine in which a common hit common signal is output to the terminal 1 during both the sudden hit state and the small hit state, as shown in FIG. 44, the hit common signal is changed from LOW. The elapsed time from the time of changing to HIGH (tb1), that is, the elapsed time from the time when the output of the hit common signal indicating the period of occurrence of the big hit state, the sudden hit state or the small hit state is detected. At the time (tb3) when the threshold time set in the table is reached, it is determined whether or not the output of the hit common signal is continuously detected (the time counting flag indicates the hit common communication). Is set only during the period in which the output of the timer is continuously detected, it is determined whether the timekeeping flag is set and the value of the timer counter is 0), or when the output of the hit common signal is detected If the output of the common signal is detected when the elapsed time from the threshold time reaches the threshold time (when the timekeeping flag is set and the value of the timer counter is 0), the output of the common signal The hit state indicated by the hit common signal that triggers the timing from the time when the hit is detected is identified as the big hit state, and when the hit common signal changes from HIGH to LOW (tb2), that is, the hit common signal is not At the time of detection, the elapsed time from the time (tb1) when the hit common signal changed from LOW to HIGH, that is, the time from the time when the output of the hit common signal was detected Whether or not the threshold time has been reached (whether or not the timing flag is set), and when the hit common signal is not detected, the elapsed time from when the hit common signal output was detected When the time does not reach the threshold time (when the timekeeping flag is set), the hit state indicated by the hit common signal that triggered the start of timing from the time when the output of the hit common signal is detected Are identified as a rush hit state or a small hit state, and the rush hit state or the small hit state is a change in the gaming state before and after the hit state and the hit state in the above-mentioned Sm9 hit / small hit identification process. Depending on the output form of the output signal, the hit state indicated by the hit common signal is further distinguished into a sudden hit state and a small hit state, and a big hit state has occurred. Pachinko machines 2a to 2c of types a, b, c, h in which a common hit common signal is output even in a period in which a sudden hit state occurs in a period during which Even when managing game information of h and pachinko machines 2′a to c, 2′h, the occurrence of a big hit state, the occurrence of a sudden hit state, the occurrence of a small hit state based on the input of the hit common signal Can be individually identified.

  In addition, in the update process 6, the game state change process 6, and the timing process 3 that constitute the data update process of the sixth aspect, the type d that can distinguish the big hit state, the sudden hit state, and the small hit state by the output form of the signal , E, f, g, i pachinko machines, the individual signal type processing of Sm16 is performed, so that each gaming state including the big hit state is identified, and the gaming information in the gaming information table is updated. At the same time, the game information between the identified game states is stored and managed in the history table, and whether the identified hit state and the small hit state are the small hit state or the sudden hit A. In the Sr6 accuracy / small hit identification process, whether or not the hit accuracy is B is identified by the change in the gaming state before and after the hit state and the output form of the output signal in the hit state. Since the game information in the information table is updated and stored in the history table together with the game information in between, the pachinko machines 2d to g, 2i of these types d, e, f, g, i, and the pachinko machine 2′d Game information of ~ g, 2'i can also be managed.

  Further, when the player wants to check the table data of the day before last, it is only necessary to operate the input button 255b corresponding to the menu of “day before last”, and by operating the input button 255b, Similarly, the control microcomputer 279 stores the game information stored in the game information table corresponding to the data two days before, specifically, the number of big hits, the number of rushes A, the number of rushes B, the number of small hits, the number of chances of change, The player counts the total number of times and the total number of start times, calculates the jackpot probability, and displays the table data screen (previous day) based on the read previous day data on the display screen 261, so that the player Can be confirmed.

  Further, when the player wants to check the occurrence status of the hit, it is only necessary to operate the input button 255c corresponding to the “Hit History” menu, and the control microcomputer 279 causes the history microcomputer to operate the input table 255c. As shown in FIG. 47, based on the today's data and the highest ever-village data stored in FIG. In the position corresponding to the time of occurrence of each big hit on the time axis, the hit status is displayed by displaying a bar-like display showing various hits (normal hit, probability variation hit, and sudden hit), and the total hit count for each day Is displayed at the right end. In this embodiment, since the size of the display screen is very small when the number of hits is large and the display becomes difficult for the player to understand, the history display excluding the small hits is used. However, it is good also as a history display including these small hits.

  In the hit history screen, as in the normal display screen, a menu “Previous Day” corresponding to the input button 255a and a menu “Previous Day” corresponding to the input button 255b are provided at the lower position. When the “data base” menu is displayed corresponding to the input button 255c and the “calling” menu is displayed corresponding to the input button 255c, the history table is displayed when the input button 255a or the input button 255b is operated. A hit history screen based on the stored “previous day” or “previous day” history is displayed.

  Further, when the player operates the input button 255d corresponding to the “call” menu, the control microcomputer 279 operates the input button 255d again by the operation, or is shown on the remote controller. All the light bulbs 267 are continuously turned on until the turn-off button is operated.

  As described above, according to the calling lamp device 200 of the present embodiment, a numerical value determined in advance with respect to the number of lotteries by the occurrence of a sudden hit state (second specific game state) or a small hit (third specific game state), that is, setting information The countdown start count set in the table is displayed, and the numerical value is counted down (subtraction update) in response to the input of the start signal (lottery execution information). Since the game state is a high probability state (the high probability state is maintained) and the recognition that the big win may be won can be recognized with reference to the display of the countdown, the sudden hit state ( The player's expectation due to the occurrence of the second specific gaming state) and the small hit (third specific gaming state) can be further increased.

  In addition, according to the calling lamp device 200 of the above-described embodiment, a countdown start number that is a predetermined number regarding the number of lottery times is determined in the hall computer in accordance with the specifications of the corresponding pachinko machine, for example, the difference in jackpot probability. It can be changed as appropriate.

  Further, according to the calling lamp device 200 of the embodiment, when the countdown value reaches the number of notifications set in the setting information table, that is, during the countdown or after the countdown, the countdown is triggered. The possibility (%) at each point in time when the hit state is an abrupt hit (second specific game state) that is beneficial to the player is displayed as shown in FIG. 45 (c), so countdown (subtraction update) Even after the end of the countdown or after the countdown (subtraction update), the player can still recognize that there is a possibility that the game is still in a sudden hit (second specific gaming state), so the player's expectation is maintained as much as possible. Can be made.

  In addition, according to the calling lamp device 200 of the embodiment, even if a sudden hit state (second specific game state) or a small hit (third specific game state) occurs, the generated hit state is determined as a sudden hit state ( Whether the second specified gaming state) or the small hit (third specified gaming state) is immediately updated, the indications of the number of rushes A, the number of rushes B, and the number of small hits are added and updated so that the player can know. As a result of newly recognizing the occurrence of a hit state (specific game state) without being displayed, addition to the number of rushes A, the number of rushes B and the number of small hits is performed, as shown in FIG. It is displayed whether the hit state that has occurred is either a sudden hit state (second specific game state) or a small hit (third specific game state). , Sudden hit state (second special (Game state) or small hit (third specified game state) can not be immediately recognized, so the hit state of the previous hit without impairing the player's expectation effect on the corresponding pachinko machine It is possible to allow the player to recognize whether the (specific game state) is a sudden hit state (second specific game state) or a small hit (third specific game state).

  Further, according to the calling lamp device 200 of the above embodiment, whether the previous hit state (specific game state) was a sudden hit state (second specific game state) or a small hit (third specific game state). Are added and updated to the number of rushes A and the number of rushes B (the number of times of occurrence of the second specific gaming state) that are the number of occurrences of the rush A and the rush B from the start of business, and a new hit state is recognized. By notifying by executing the game, it is determined whether the previous hit state (specific game state) was a sudden hit state (second specific game state) or a small hit (third specific game state). In addition to allowing the player to recognize, the player is given the number of rushes A and the number of rushes B (the number of occurrences of the second specified gaming state) excluding the small hit (third specified gaming state) that is less profitable to the player. Offer It can be.

  In addition, according to the calling lamp device 200 of the embodiment, based on the change in the gaming state before and after the occurrence of the butt hit state or the small hit state, it is determined whether the generated hit is the rush hit state or the small hit state. By specifying, the corresponding pachinko machine has common occurrence information in the occurrence of the sudden hit state (second specific game state) and the small hit state (third specific game state), that is, a common signal output form. Even in the machines 2a to 2h, the sudden hit state (second specific game state) and the small hit state (third specific game state) can be reliably identified.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the pachinko machines 2a to 2i and 2'a to i having the bump contact A and the bump contact B as the bump contact state are illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, a pachinko machine having only one of the bump contact A or the bump contact B as the bump contact state may be used as the bump contact state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the number of big hit starts up to four times before is displayed as the number of big hit starts, but the present invention is not limited to this, and as the number of big hit starts to be displayed, Only the “start count” of this embodiment, which is the sum of the start counts from the previous time or the start of business, may be displayed.

  In the embodiment, the countdown display screen during countdown display and possibility display does not display the number of jackpot start times, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the countdown display Also on the screen, the start number of jackpots may be displayed as table data. That is, the display of the number of hits for the big hit, the countdown display, and the possibility display may be displayed in the same display area, or may be displayed in different display areas (including different display screens).

  In the above-described embodiment, the hall computer can change the number of countdown start times set in the setting information table of each calling lamp device 200, and this can be done for each calling lamp device 200. There is no need to go and change the countdown start number, and it is preferable because the countdown start number can be changed easily and quickly, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the countdown start number is fixed in advance, The setting change may be impossible.

    Further, in the above-described embodiment, when the possibility display setting is made, the possibility notification is performed based on the fact that the countdown numerical value has been reached in the number of notification executions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a calling lamp device that does not have a function of notifying these possibilities may be used.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the notification of the occurrence of the sudden hit state in which the addition is reserved is carried out by adding to the number of sudden hits A and the number of sudden hits B, but the present invention is not limited to this, Notification by a method other than the above, that is, a specific message such as “the last hit was a sudden hit” is displayed on the display screen 261, or the lighting state of the notification lamp is predetermined for a predetermined period. You may make it alert | report by setting it as the lighting mode only for a hit.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the notification of the occurrence of the rush hit state in which the addition by addition to the rush accuracy A number and the rush B number is reserved is performed when the next hit state occurs. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the notification of the occurrence of the abrupt hit state may be performed, for example, at the time when the count-down display is ended after the hit count reaches the end display count. Alternatively, the number of after-hits start times for performing the notification of occurrence of the rush hit state is set exclusively, and the occurrence of the rush hit state occurs when the number of start times after hitting the number of hits or the next hit occurs. The notification may be performed.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, a gaming machine that is controlled so that the small hit state and the sudden hit state are the same is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the small hit state and The number of opening and closing of the opening / closing plate 120 and the execution time thereof may be different in the sudden contact state. In this case, the small contact state and the sudden contact state are changed to these as in the above-described embodiment. Instead of discriminating according to the change in the gaming state before and after the hit, the small hit state and the sudden hit as well as the threshold number of balls and the threshold time used for distinguishing the small hit state and the sudden hit state from the big hit state are used. A second threshold ball number and threshold time for identifying the state may be further set to identify the small hit state and the sudden hit state.

  In the above embodiment, the number of balls (prize balls, difference ball) after the hit common signal is output is calculated by the shot ball counter (prize ball counter, difference ball counter) set in the RAM 275. Although it counts, you may count using the number of balls (the number of prize balls, a difference ball) in the data according to the state of a history table.

  In the above embodiment, the time after the hit common signal is output is counted by the timer counter set in the RAM 275, but the occurrence time of the gaming state registered in the state-specific data of the history table, You may make it time-measure based on the output time from RTC273.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the table data other than the number of big hits is displayed on the normal display screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the table data is not displayed. May be.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko machine in which the time reduction state is given until the predetermined number of start times is reached after the end of the big hit, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the time reduction state is not limited to this. It may be a pachinko machine to which no is given.

  Also, in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the above-described embodiment, the special symbol displayed as the display result is determined according to the type of the hit (the normal symbol is an even symbol, the probability variable big hit is If there are odd symbols, chances of hitting and small hits), the display result may be determined regardless of the type of winning. In this case, when even symbols are displayed, In general, not only big hits but also probable big hits, sudden hits and small hits may occur.

  Further, in the pachinko machines 2a to i and 2'a to i of the above embodiment, in the probability variation state and the short time state, the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened and the opening time of the movable piece 115 is extended. However, only one of them may be performed, or in addition to these, the winning probability of the normal symbol may be improved alone. In addition, the probability variation state and the short-time state may be changed to reduce the variation time, increase the opening time, and improve the winning probability, or change the varying time, opening time, and winning probability. Also good.

  Moreover, in the said Example pachinko machine 2a-i, 2'a-i, the opening-and-closing plate 120 provided in the variable winning ball apparatus 116 is only for a very short time, for example, 0.5 second, in a rush hit and a small hit. Although the pachinko machine 2 has been established only twice (round), the present invention is not limited to this, and it becomes a sudden hit state that becomes the second specific gaming state or a third specific gaming state. In the small hit state, for example, the repeated continuous control for controlling from the second state to the first state in the big hit state is less than the upper limit number of times in the big hit state, for example, once or twice. You may be made to carry out the sudden hit or small hit.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko machine 2a-i, 2'a-i and the calling lamp apparatus 200 are directly connected, this invention is not limited to this, These pachinko machines 2a- i, 2'a-i and the calling lamp device 200, for example, send output signals from the pachinko machines 2a-i, 2'a-i to the hall computer and pass the input signals to the outside as they are. The connection may be made via a dedicated relay terminal or the like.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the type of a pachinko machine can be set automatically by implementing a connection confirmation process, this invention is not limited to this, It does not have these automatic setting functions. It is good also as a structure.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko machine of type ai was illustrated by the output form of a signal, this invention is not limited to this, A big hit state, a sudden hit state, and a small hit state And the output forms of combinations of signals other than the output forms of types a to i may be used.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko machine 2a-i which generate | occur | produces the impact accuracy A and the accuracy impact B is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, and generate | occur | produces these impact accuracy A. Alternatively, the game machine to be managed may be a pachinko machine in which only the sudden hit B is generated as a sudden hit, and the managed game machine is only in the sudden hit A without the occurrence of the sudden hit B. It may be a pachinko machine that generates as a hit.

  In the embodiment, the first stage lottery for determining whether or not the winning state is selected, and the winning combination for the first stage lottery (which is a normal big hit, a probable big hit, a sudden hit A, a sudden hit) B, a small lot) is drawn in the second stage of lottery, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the lottery in the first stage of lottery May be.

  In the above embodiment, the second game state has a high-accuracy state, a short-time state, and a probability-change state (high-accuracy state + short-time state), and a sudden contact that is controlled to a high-accuracy state after the occurrence as a sudden contact. A pachinko machine having A and a sudden hit B that is controlled to a probabilistic state after the occurrence thereof is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second gaming state is a highly probable state, a short time state It is good also as a gaming machine which has only any one of these. In addition, when the second gaming state has only a short time state, in the above-described sudden hit / small hit discrimination process for identifying the sudden hit state and the small hit state of the embodiment, the sudden hit state and the small hit state are determined. Instead of the high-accuracy signal that was the monitoring target signal of the change at the time of input or end of input of the common hit signal or sudden / small hit signal at the time of occurrence or end, the time-short signal output during the time-short state It can be used as a monitoring target signal to distinguish between a rush hit state and a small hit state, and is used to distinguish between a rush hit A and a butt hit B. a) to g), a hit / accuracy / short-time signal or a short-time signal as a monitoring target signal of the change at the end of input of the accuracy / small hit signal (type f) and the end-of-contact signal (type i) Instead of No., may be used jackpot, 突確, high confidence No. or high confidence No. is output at a high probability state.
