The shutter 40 is driven so as to be in an open state in which it is easy to accept a game ball when a special numerical symbol is stopped and displayed as a special symbol on the special symbol display 33 and the gaming state is shifted to the big hit gaming state. . As a result, the special winning opening 39 is in an open state (first state) where the game ball can be easily received.

  On the other hand, the special winning opening 39 provided on the back side (rear side) of the shutter 40 has a specific area (not shown) having a V / count sensor (not shown) and a count sensor (not shown). There are general areas (not shown), and the shutter 40 is driven to open until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls pass through these areas or until a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. The When a condition for winning a predetermined number of game balls in the grand prize opening 39 or elapse of a predetermined time is satisfied in the open state, the shutter 40 is driven so as to be in a closed state in which it is difficult to accept the game balls. (Second state). Games from the open state (first state) in which the grand prize opening 39 is easy to accept game balls to the closed state (second state) in which the grand prize opening 39 is difficult to accept game balls Is called a round game. Therefore, the shutter 40 is opened during the round game and is closed between the round games. Also, the first round game is referred to as the first round, the second round is referred to as the second round, and the round game is counted as the number of rounds.

  Subsequently, the shutter 40 driven from the open state to the closed state (second state) indicates that the game ball received in the special winning opening 39 in the open state has passed through the V-count sensor (not shown). Under the condition, it is driven to the open state again. In other words, it is possible to continue to the next round game on condition that the game ball received in the special winning opening 39 in the opened state of the shutter 40 has passed the V · count sensor (not shown). A game from the first round game until the end of the (final) round game that cannot continue to the next round game is called a special game.

  During the execution of the special game, the number of rounds when the round game is continued most (the maximum number of continuous rounds) is set to a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times) by means such as lot number lottery.

  When a predetermined condition is satisfied after the predetermined number of round games are completed, the round number is increased by the round number increasing means, and the round game with the increased round number is further executed. The round number increasing means will be described later.

  In addition, when a game ball wins or passes through the specific area and the general area in the start ports 25 and 44, the general winning ports 56a to 56d, and the big winning port 39 described above, it is set in advance according to the type of each winning port. A certain number of game balls are paid out to the upper plate 20 (see FIG. 1) or the lower plate 22. As described above, the start opening 25, 44, the general winning openings 56a to 56d, and the big winning opening 39 pass the game ball (for example, the game area 15) of the game board (for example, the game board 14). This is an example of a winning combination in which a predetermined effect or game ball payout is executed.

  On the other hand, the round number indicator 51 provided near the upper right end of the back of the game board 14 transmits the game area 15 of the game board 14 and displays the round number near the upper right end of the game area 15. indicate.

Further, a transmission plate 62d is disposed at a portion of the bolt 62a facing the rotation center of the turntable 61a. The transmission plate 62d and the rear end portion of the game nail 13 are connected by a connecting portion 62e. When the game nail 13 is erected in the vertical direction with respect to the board surface of the game board 14, the center axis of the game nail 13 and the rotation axis of the rotary table motor 61b are located on the same straight line. Further, the fixed portion of the connecting portion 62e and the transmission plate 62d are disposed on the same straight line.

  Next, the operation of the nail adjustment mechanism 60 will be described. First, the direction in which the game nail 13 is tilted is set by driving the rotary table motor 61b to rotate and stop the rotary table 61a. Here, the direction in which the game nail 13 is inclined coincides with the longitudinal direction of the bolt 62a. Next, the bolt 62a is rotated by rotating the inclination adjusting motor 62b. Here, since the transmission plate 62d is clamped by the connecting portion 62e and does not rotate, the nuts 62c and 62c also do not rotate. Therefore, the nuts 62c and 62c move in the longitudinal direction of the bolt 62a, and the transmission plate 62d also moves in the longitudinal direction of the bolt 62a in conjunction therewith. When the transmission plate 62d moves, the movement is also transmitted to the connecting portion 62e, and moves in the longitudinal direction of the bolt 62a. Then, the movement of the connecting portion 62e is transmitted to the rear end portion of the game nail 13, and the game nail 13 is rotated about the spherical portion 13a by moving the rear end portion of the game nail 13. The transmission plate 62d is inclined in the opposite direction to the moving direction.

  By rotating the bolt 62a, the distance from the spherical portion 13a to the transmission plate 62d varies, but the variation is absorbed by changing the clamping position of the transmission plate 62d in the connecting portion 62e.

  In this manner, the tilt direction of the game nail 13 is set by the rotation mechanism unit 61, and the tilt amount is set by the slide mechanism unit 62, whereby the posture of the game nail 13 can be changed in a desired direction. The rotary table motor 61b and the inclination adjustment motor 62b are driven and controlled by a nail adjustment control circuit 300 (see FIG. 10). As a result, the game nail 13 can be automatically tilted by the control of the rotary table motor 61b and the tilt adjustment motor 62b by the nail adjustment control circuit 300 (see FIG. 10). For example, the nail adjustment control circuit 300 (see FIG. 10) sets the rotation amount of the rotary table motor 61b and the rotation amount of the tilt adjustment motor 62b based on an instruction from the management server device 500, and performs a process of driving. Do. Thus, the nail adjustment mechanism 60 is an example of an adjustment unit that adjusts the posture of the game nail 13 supported by the support unit (mounting plate 14a).

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing an arrangement example of game nails capable of automatically adjusting the inclination. In the present embodiment, not all game nails 13 are provided with the nail adjustment mechanism 60. For example, the game nail 13 shown in black in FIG. For example, the two game nails 13d and 13d located above the start opening 25 shown in FIG. 7A are inclined so as to spread obliquely upward, thereby making it easier for the game ball to move toward the game board 14 and the game. Since the opening formed by the nails 13d and 13d becomes wide, the game ball can easily enter the start opening 25. For this reason, it is possible to increase or decrease the number of big hit lotteries in the variable display game only by adjusting the inclination of the two game nails 13d and 13d located above the start opening 25. In addition, by making it possible to adjust the inclination of the game nail 13e positioned on the side of the game nails 13d and 13d shown in FIG. 7A, the ease with which the game ball can lean toward the start port 25 can be adjusted. In addition, by making it possible to adjust the inclination of the game nail 13f in the vicinity of the big winning opening 39, it is possible to increase or decrease the ease of entering the game ball into the big winning opening 39 during a round game by big win lottery. For this reason, it is possible to adjust the time of the round game or adjust the number of payouts of the game ball when it is desired to show the player the effect in the round game. Further, by making it possible to adjust the inclination of the game nail 13g located above the passing gate 54a and the game nail 13h located above the passing gate 54b, it is possible to increase or decrease the number of big hit lotteries in the normal symbol game. Become. In particular, in the present embodiment, the probability change jackpot (after winning the round game, the jackpot that has been determined to become a mode with a high probability of jackpot lottery) and the short-time mode (the probability of jackpot lottery in the normal symbol game is high and lottery) In a mode in which the interval is shortened), a game form in which a player hits the start gate 44 by opening a large number of blade members 48 by hitting the passing gate 54b (so-called right-handed) and by a lottery drawing of a normal symbol game. Recommended. For this reason, by making it possible to adjust the inclination of the game nails 13h and 13h located above the passing gate 54b, it is possible to adjust the degree of decrease of the game balls in the upper plate 20 in the time-saving mode after the probable large hit. . Further, by making it possible to adjust the inclination of the game nail 13i in the vicinity of the winning opening 24, the ease of entering the winning opening 24 can be adjusted. For this reason, since the route for guiding the game ball from the winning opening 24 to the starting opening 25 through the first warp path 47 and the like has a high possibility of entering the starting opening 25, the number of winning lotteries in the variable display game is large. Can be adjusted. In addition, the game nail 13j in the vicinity of the uppermost portion of the so-called game board 14 shown in FIG. In this way, the part of the mounting plate 14a in which the game nails 13d and 13d shown in FIG. 7A are implanted is in the vicinity of the entrance of the accessory that gives a predetermined benefit to the player by passing the game ball. It is an example of the support means provided in the planting site | part of the arranged game nail.

  In addition, in this embodiment mentioned above, although the main body of the game nail 13 and the spherical part 13a are integrally formed, you may form not only in it but as a different body. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a spherical portion 13b formed of an elastic body such as rubber may be disposed at the center of the game nail 13, and the spherical portion 13b may be embedded in the game board 14. Thereby, since the spherical part 13b can be elastically deformed, it becomes easy to embed the spherical part 13b in the game board 14. Moreover, in this embodiment mentioned above, although the embedding site | part to the game board 14 in the game nail 13 was made into spherical shape, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, it is made of an elastic body such as a substantially conical rubber. The formed conical portion 13 c may be arranged at the center of the game nail 13. Thereby, the conical part 13c is easily attached by forming the substantially conical recessed part 14c in the back side of the game board 14, and fixing the conical part 13c to this recessed part 14c using an adhesive agent etc. It becomes possible. In the configuration shown in FIG. 9, the rotation center of the game nail 13 is the front side of the game board 14. Further, when an elastic body is used as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a hard member such as an acrylic plate can be used as the mounting plate 14a. In particular, when the game nail shown in FIG. 8 is used, it is preferable to form the embedded portion of the spherical portion 13b of the game nail 13 in the game board 14 as a spherical recess 14b.

Next, the game result data transmission process in step S310 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S400, a current time confirmation process is performed. In this process, the CPU 310 performs a process of confirming the current time using a built-in timing function. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S410.

  In step S410, a process for determining whether or not the current time has passed the set time is performed. In this process, if the CPU 310 determines that the current time has passed the set time, the process proceeds to step S420. If it is not determined that the current time has passed the set time, this subroutine is terminated.

  In step S420, game result data transmission processing is performed. In this processing, the CPU 310 controls the communication IC 330 to perform processing for transmitting game result data stored in the RAM 340 to the management server device 500 at a predetermined timing (for example, batch transmission at the end of the game hall business). Here, as game result data, the operating time, the number of times of entering the start opening 25, the number of jackpots, the average time from the start to the end of the round game, the number of normal symbol games in the short time mode, and the number of times of entering the start opening 44 Etc. As described above, the communication IC 330 is an example of a transmission unit that transmits game result data stored in the storage unit (RAM 340) to the outside.

[Adjustment data reception processing]
Next, the adjustment data reception process in step S320 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S500, processing for determining whether adjustment data has been received from management server device 500 is performed. In this processing, the CPU 310 performs processing for determining whether adjustment data has been received from the management server device 500. In this process, if it is determined that adjustment data has been received from the management server device 500, the process proceeds to step S510.

[Adjustment data determination process]
Next, the adjustment data determination process in the management server device 500 that is the transmission destination of the adjustment data received by the nail adjustment control circuit 300 in the adjustment data reception process in step S320 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S600, game result data reception processing is performed. In this process, the CPU 510 controls the communication IC 520 to control to receive game result data from the nail adjustment control circuit 300 transmitted in step S310. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S610.

  In step S610, game result data storage processing is performed. In this processing, the CPU 510 performs processing for storing game result data from the nail adjustment control circuit 300 in the RAM 540. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S620.

  In step S620, adjustment data selection processing is performed. In this process, the CPU 510 performs a process of selecting adjustment data from the ROM 530 based on the game result data from the nail adjustment control circuit 300. Specifically, first, the CPU 510 performs control for causing the display device 550 to display each pachinko gaming machine 10 based on the operation of the operation panel 560. Then, based on the game result data, the manager performs an operation of determining adjustment data for adjusting the attitude of the game nail transmitted to the nail adjustment control circuit 300 via an operation panel (not shown). For example, basic adjustment data, for example, a plurality of types of adjustment data are stored in advance in the ROM 530 in stages from a nail adjustment (so-called sweet nail) where a game ball can easily enter the start opening 25 to a nail adjustment where a game ball is difficult to enter. Keep it. Then, adjustment data close to the administrator's request is determined, and a designation signal is transmitted to the CPU 510 via the operation panel. The CPU 510 performs processing for selecting adjustment data from the ROM 530 based on the designation signal. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S630.

  In step S630, processing for determining whether or not to edit the adjustment data is performed. In this process, the CPU 510 performs a process of determining whether or not a signal for editing the adjustment data is received by an operation of the operation panel 560 by the administrator. In this process, if it is determined that a signal has been received, the process proceeds to step S640. If it is not determined that it has been received, the process proceeds to step S650.

  In step S640, adjustment data editing processing is performed. In this process, the CPU 510 activates a program for changing the adjustment data and performs a process of displaying on the display device 550. Then, after the adjustment data is finally changed, when the CPU 510 receives a signal to end the editing of the adjustment data by the operation of the operation panel 560 by the administrator, the process proceeds to step S650. .

  In step S650, adjustment data transmission processing is performed. In this process, when the CPU 510 receives a signal indicating that the administrator has performed a transmission execution operation on the operation panel 560, the CPU 510 controls the communication IC 520 to send the adjustment data to a predetermined pachinko gaming machine 10. Control to send. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. As described above, the communication IC 520 is an example of a server receiving unit that receives game result data transmitted from the pachinko gaming machine 10. The RAM 540 is an example of a server storage unit that stores game result data received by the server reception unit (communication IC 520). The ROM 530 is an example of an adjustment data storage unit that stores a plurality of types of adjustment data for adjusting the attitude of the game nail. Further, the CPU 510 selects adjustment data for selecting one adjustment data among a plurality of types of adjustment data stored in the adjustment data storage means (ROM 530) based on the game result data stored in the server storage means (RAM 540). It is an example of a means. The communication IC 520 is an example of a server transmission unit that transmits the adjustment data selected by the adjustment data selection unit (CPU 510) to the gaming machine (pachinko gaming machine 10).

  Thus, for example, if the number of balls entered per unit operating time is small for three consecutive days, a nail adjustment (so-called sweet nail) that makes it easy for game balls to enter the start opening 25, or in the time-saving mode If the number of normal symbol games and the number of balls entering the start opening 44 are both small, the nail adjustment is made so that the game ball can easily enter the passing gate 54b, and the nail adjustment is made so that the game ball can easily go to the start opening 44. It becomes possible. In addition, the management server device 500 can transmit adjustment data so as to perform nail adjustment for a plurality of pachinko gaming machines while considering the balance of game results in the pachinko gaming machines in the entire game hall.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing another example of the adjustment data determination process shown in FIG. The adjustment data determination process in FIG. 17 deletes steps S630 and S640 in the adjustment data determination process shown in FIG. 16, and performs a game tendency determination process as step S615 between steps S610 and S620. Here, in step S410 of FIG. 14, it is assumed that the CPU 310 is instructed to perform game result data transmission processing at a predetermined time (for example, every 30 minutes).

  The processes in steps S600 and S610 are as described above. In the process of step S615, the CPU 510 performs a process of determining a game situation, for example, whether or not there is a tendency to easily enter the start opening 25 based on the game result data stored in the RAM 540. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S620.

  In the process of step S620, the CPU 510 performs a process of automatically selecting adjustment data based on the determination result in step S615. For example, when it is determined that it is difficult to enter the starting port 25, a process of selecting adjustment data that provides a nail adjustment that is sweeter than the current nail adjustment is performed. If this process ends, the process moves to a step S650.

  In the process of step S650, when the adjustment data is determined in the process of step S620, the CPU 510 automatically controls the communication IC 520 so as to transmit the adjustment data to a predetermined pachinko gaming machine 10. When this process is finished, this subroutine is finished. This makes it possible to automatically adjust the game nails sequentially in accordance with the current game situation.

  In the embodiment described above, adjustment data is transmitted from the management server device 500, and the pachinko gaming machine performs nail adjustment based on the received adjustment data. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. . For example, as shown in FIG. 18, an input device 600 having a ROM 610 storing adjustment data and an operation panel 620 for specifying the adjustment data is provided on the pachinko gaming machine side. Based on the operation of the input device 600 by the administrator, the game result data and the adjustment data stored in the RAM 340 are displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32. Then, the administrator selects the adjustment data by operating the operation panel 620 in consideration of the game result data. The input device 600 reads the selected adjustment data from the ROM 610 and transmits it to the nail adjustment control circuit 300. In this way, the nail adjustment can be independently made on the pachinko gaming machine side.

  In this case, the input device 600 is an external device, and an external terminal for connecting the external device is provided in the pachinko gaming machine so that the nail adjustment can be performed without performing an operation of opening the door of the pachinko gaming machine. May be. If an external terminal is provided, it may be used for a so-called goto action, so as a countermeasure against goto, the external device and the pachinko machine may be provided with security functions such as encryption processing and a password. desirable.

  Further, the input device 600 is an internal device, and the nail adjustment control circuit 300 can access the ROM 610 of the input device 600. Thereby, for example, the number of winnings in the game result data is monitored, and if the number of winnings is too large, adjustment data for nail adjustment that tends to decrease the number of winnings is selected from the ROM 610, and based on this adjustment data Automatic adjustment may be performed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the RAM for storing the game result data is provided in the nail adjustment control circuit 300. However, the RAM is not limited to this, and may be shared with the RAM of other circuits. For example, if a gaming table information display device for displaying the number of jackpots and the number of variable display games up to the jackpot is provided above the pachinko gaming machine, the gaming table provided in the gaming table information display device It may also be used as a RAM for collecting information.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, for example, when the game result data is the number of times of the variable display game, and the number of times of the variable display game is small, the game display data of the variable display game is set so that the game ball can easily enter the start opening. When the number of times is large, the position of the game nail can be automatically adjusted so that the game ball does not easily enter the start port. For this reason, since it is not necessary to manually adjust the game nail, the adjustment becomes easy. In addition to the work time required for adjusting the game nails, the work of opening the door on the front side of the game board or removing the game board can be omitted, so the work time can be shortened. Adjustments can be made quickly. In this way, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that allows easy adjustment of game nails and can be performed quickly.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the game nail can swing around the planted portion of the game board. For example, by moving the end of the game nail on the rear side of the game board, It becomes possible to easily and quickly tilt the game nail in a desired direction on the front side. In this way, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that allows easy adjustment of game nails and can be performed quickly.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, for example, it is arranged in the vicinity of an accessory that gives a predetermined profit to the player by passing a game ball such as a start opening, a passing gate, a winning opening, an entrance of a warp route, etc. Automatic adjustment of game nails is possible. For this reason, it becomes possible to automatically adjust important game nails related to the interest of the game. In this way, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that allows easy adjustment of game nails and can be performed quickly.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, for example, the game result data is set as the number of variable display games, the server device counts the number of variable display games of the gaming machines in the entire game hall, and the variable display games of a predetermined gaming machine are counted. The number of times is compared with, for example, the average number of variable display games in the game island or the entire game hall. When the number of variable display games in the predetermined gaming machine is small compared to the whole, the game balls are inserted at the start port when the number of variable display games is large so that the game balls can easily enter the start port. The position of the game nail can be automatically adjusted so that it is difficult to enter. For this reason, since it is not necessary to manually adjust the game nail, the adjustment becomes easy. In addition to the work time required for adjusting the game nails, the work time for opening and removing the game board front door for each gaming machine can be omitted, thereby shortening the work time. The game nail can be adjusted quickly. In this way, it is possible to provide a game system that allows easy adjustment of game nails and can be performed quickly.

  In the above-described embodiment, a so-called pachinko game machine called a digipachi was taken as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a pachinko game machine called a wing mono, Hikoki mono, a pachinko game called a right mono. Other modes may be possible.
